Transcript

00:00:00.000 St. Greta of the Blessed Sailboat, best known for skipping school to complain about the weather,
00:00:05.260 has a new object of ire. The Jews, specifically, Greta was complaining about the state of Israel
00:00:13.780 and demanding that climate activists stand in solidarity with the Palestinians
00:00:18.280 when a fellow climate activist, bewildered, got on stage and tried to get her to focus.
00:00:25.320 We have not been listening. The people in power have not been listening.
00:00:29.940 I have come here for a climate demonstration, not a political view.
00:00:36.680 No climate justice on occupied land.
00:00:40.160 No climate justice on occupied land.
00:00:43.900 No climate justice on occupied land.
00:00:48.400 No climate justice on occupied land? What could that possibly mean?
00:00:54.960 Even putting aside the ridiculous phrase climate justice,
00:00:58.280 the notion that we owe something to the rocks and the air or whatever, put that aside for a moment.
00:01:03.220 Is Greta saying that we can't recycle until we abolish the state of Israel?
00:01:09.520 That we can't limit carbon emissions until the Palestinians get a nation state?
00:01:15.460 What could that possibly mean?
00:01:18.440 But pro-Palestine activism was not Greta's only digression of the day.
00:01:22.600 She then also took part in an anti-capitalism march.
00:01:27.660 Marching through the streets, waving all sorts of weirdo radical flags.
00:01:33.400 Greta marching with them.
00:01:35.000 Some environmentalists, like that guy who tried to take her microphone,
00:01:39.540 are bewildered, totally befuddled.
00:01:42.140 They should not be.
00:01:43.280 Some people, like that guy, actually believe that climate justice is not political.
00:01:48.980 When it is, in fact, the most political movement of all on the left.
00:01:54.440 Of course, St. Greta supports all of the other liberal causes.
00:01:59.180 The only reason that she has had so much success focusing on environmentalism
00:02:03.040 is because environmentalism is the fundamental religious premise of all of the other left-wing activism.
00:02:09.920 It's the inversion of man's place in the order of creation.
00:02:12.960 It's the belief that we must serve rather than steward nature.
00:02:17.800 It's the idolatry of the natural world and the worship of creation rather than of the creator.
00:02:24.700 I'm Michael Knowles.
00:02:25.440 This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:02:26.260 Welcome back to the show.
00:02:47.100 We got a new squad in town.
00:02:48.980 Move over AOC and Rashida Tlaib.
00:02:50.980 We got Trump, Dana White, Tucker, Don Jr., and Kid Rock rolling into a UFC match.
00:02:59.780 Crowd goes totally wild for them.
00:03:02.200 Not Bill Burr's wife who actually flips Trump off.
00:03:04.520 We'll get to all of that in a moment.
00:03:05.520 That very important story in a moment.
00:03:06.940 First, though, I don't want to move off of religion too quickly
00:03:09.460 because that is the fundamental background religious principle for the left is the environmentalism.
00:03:16.380 Because environmentalism is not just about saving the delta smelt or preventing the bald eagles from going extinct.
00:03:22.620 Environmentalism smuggles in all sorts of ridiculous premises and first principles about man's place in creation,
00:03:32.320 about what we're here to do, about how we came to be, about what the purpose of life is.
00:03:36.760 So, on this battle of religion, on this holy war that we seem to be engaged in right now,
00:03:43.820 we've got some good news, actually, from the religious side as opposed to the irreligious side.
00:03:50.240 The good news is a survey just came out which found that progressive priests are going extinct.
00:03:58.140 They're among the new priests who are coming up in seminary who are one day going to lead the church, we hope.
00:04:05.380 There are basically no progressives to be found.
00:04:10.660 Major survey finds that conservative and lowercase o orthodox priests are on the rise.
00:04:17.240 Progressive, simply put, says the report,
00:04:19.940 the portion of new priests who see themselves as politically liberal or theologically progressive
00:04:25.420 has been steadily declining since the Second Vatican Council and has now all but vanished.
00:04:30.620 More than half of the priests who were ordained since 2010 see themselves on the conservative side of the scale,
00:04:34.720 no surveyed priests who were ordained after 2020 described themselves as very progressive.
00:04:40.900 85% of the youngest cohort says they're conservative slash orthodox or very conservative slash orthodox,
00:04:47.040 and only 14% describe themselves as middle of the road, which leaves, what, 1% or something say that they're progressive.
00:04:53.960 And not only is this great news that is worth celebrating,
00:04:57.820 not only is this a glimmer of hope as we have a crisis throughout our political order,
00:05:02.300 and no surprise, a crisis within the church, which leads the political order,
00:05:08.880 sometimes reacts to it, but often leads it.
00:05:11.880 But this also should be unsurprising.
00:05:15.440 They say the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church.
00:05:18.060 The persecution of the church is not an aberration.
00:05:24.560 It's not this little weird fact of history that represents something that sometimes goes wrong.
00:05:31.320 It's actually a feature.
00:05:32.840 It's not a bug.
00:05:33.760 It's a feature of the system, and it's what has allowed the church to spread.
00:05:39.520 Religious life is always difficult,
00:05:42.360 meaning people called to a vocation to be a priest,
00:05:44.300 to be a nun, to be a brother, a sister, a monk.
00:05:47.660 It's very difficult.
00:05:48.740 You give a lot up.
00:05:49.860 You abstain from a lot of the pleasures of this world.
00:05:52.160 It's especially difficult today when so many people in society think it's all totally bunk,
00:05:58.040 so they think that there's no point to it,
00:05:59.920 which means that those who are drawn to religious life
00:06:04.160 and who are actually in our extremely hedonistic decadent age
00:06:07.680 who are willing to give up the pleasures of this world
00:06:09.660 probably really believe it.
00:06:11.660 Furthermore, in a world in which the left has taken over
00:06:15.800 basically every single institution,
00:06:18.020 they have pretty much all of the influence in society.
00:06:21.740 If you are a young liberal or leftist who's trying to gain some influence,
00:06:27.060 who wants to leave your mark on the world,
00:06:29.300 there are plenty of other places for you to go beyond the church.
00:06:33.200 The church's political power has waned significantly in recent decades,
00:06:37.160 which is a bad thing in itself,
00:06:38.620 but it's maybe a good thing in this sense in that if you want to have an influence on society
00:06:43.020 and you're a leftist, since the 1960s and 70s,
00:06:45.300 you can just go to the university.
00:06:46.620 You're going to be able to shape a lot of minds at the university.
00:06:48.760 You're going to make a lot of money.
00:06:49.560 You're going to get to do whatever weirdo stuff you want to do.
00:06:51.960 So you're going to go there.
00:06:52.880 Maybe you're going to go into government.
00:06:54.100 Maybe you're going to go into corporate America.
00:06:55.420 The libs took over corporate America too.
00:06:57.140 You'll go become a DEI deputy middle managing dean director
00:07:01.880 of whatever nonsense diversity some Fortune 500 company is going to be pushing.
00:07:07.340 And you get to make some money and you get to do your weird stuff
00:07:10.640 and you don't need to deal with the rigors of religious life.
00:07:14.920 If you're a lib, you would just as soon go into all of those other fields,
00:07:18.700 which means that there has been a process of expurgation and purification going on within the church.
00:07:25.720 And some people who are a little older toward the top end of the church
00:07:31.540 don't really seem to like this very much.
00:07:33.740 Unfortunately, the church hierarchy is not going to accept this conservative trend without a fight.
00:07:41.480 And I mentioned this even for the people who are not Catholics,
00:07:46.060 who are not self-identifying as Christians more broadly, who are not religious at all.
00:07:52.120 Christianity is the animating spirit of our civilization.
00:07:54.420 So as goes Christianity, so goes the civilization.
00:07:58.300 Even if you're the most hardened atheist, and by the way,
00:08:00.800 one of the most hardened atheists in the world has just converted.
00:08:03.660 We'll get to that perhaps a little bit later today.
00:08:07.100 But there was some sad news over the weekend,
00:08:09.060 which is that Pope Francis has relieved a very popular, very holy,
00:08:13.680 very good conservative bishop of his duties.
00:08:15.960 That would be Bishop Strickland in Texas.
00:08:18.060 A wonderful bishop, very well-liked, and more importantly than being well-liked,
00:08:22.880 very good at his job and very good at shepherding souls.
00:08:26.340 It's unfortunate.
00:08:27.980 It's above my pay grade.
00:08:28.980 I don't make these decisions.
00:08:29.780 But it's very, very sad.
00:08:31.220 It's very disappointing.
00:08:32.620 And it just reminds me of this bizarre fact about our culture,
00:08:37.720 even beyond the church, just in our whole political life,
00:08:41.120 which is that the boomers are so insistent on telling us what the youths want.
00:08:49.040 The boomers who came up during the age of Aquarius, the hippie generation,
00:08:55.280 they're going to remake everything.
00:08:57.080 They're going to start the world from scratch.
00:08:59.200 Everything's going to be new and revolutionary, man.
00:09:01.180 They're so insistent on telling us what the youths want.
00:09:05.140 And yet today, what the youths want is totally contrary to what the boomer hippies want.
00:09:12.320 And they can't grapple with this.
00:09:13.960 You see this in the church.
00:09:15.120 The boomers, who promote the so-called new mass,
00:09:19.040 the kind of 1970s hippie-dippie, you know, sing-along, kumbaya,
00:09:24.080 let's listen to feminine ballads that weren't even cool in the 1970s,
00:09:29.420 the youths want the traditional Latin mass.
00:09:31.680 In our political order, the hippie-dippie people,
00:09:34.640 they want just do what you want, man.
00:09:36.200 Do a bunch of drugs and have sex with anyone and anything that appeals to you.
00:09:40.300 And just, you know, kind of you do you and I'll do me.
00:09:42.660 That's not what the young people want.
00:09:44.280 I spend a lot of time with young conservatives.
00:09:46.420 I travel this entire country.
00:09:47.720 I travel the world, in fact, talking to young conservatives.
00:09:50.100 All the young conservatives are much more traditional.
00:09:52.780 They're much more socially conservative.
00:09:54.600 They're much more interested in order and flourishing
00:09:57.160 and beauty and truth and goodness and virtue than the boomer.
00:10:01.160 Look, I love my boomer friends.
00:10:02.460 I don't mean to be too harsh on the boomers.
00:10:04.380 But as a generation, that generation tends to be far more laissez-faire,
00:10:08.660 do what you want, just don't make it affect me, man,
00:10:11.720 and don't make me pay more taxes for it.
00:10:13.680 And it would seem clear to me as a little glimmer of hope that those boomers who just,
00:10:20.340 they're so certain they know what the youths want.
00:10:22.680 We know how to attract the youths back to the church ultimately,
00:10:25.520 back to the conservative movement, back to patriotism.
00:10:28.720 They just, they kind of went wrong as a generation.
00:10:33.000 Gen X, I think, in their laissez-faire, apathetic attitude, they went a little wrong.
00:10:36.980 My millennial generation, boy, oh boy, did the millennials go wrong.
00:10:40.320 We're the Obama generation, but the Zoomers, man, the Zoomers are giving me hope.
00:10:45.200 And you're seeing it at every level of society among the so-called activists
00:10:49.560 in corporate America, in the political order, and even as high as the church.
00:10:56.000 That's good stuff.
00:10:56.660 So there's going to be a lot of friction.
00:10:57.860 There's going to be tension.
00:10:58.540 There's going to be upheaval.
00:10:59.920 And during those periods of uncertainty, you're going to want to check out Birch Gold.

00:12:12.500 Speaking of going down without a fight, or with a fight, I guess,
00:12:17.300 the FBI has seized New York City Mayor Eric Adams' phone and iPad amid a federal corruption investigation.
00:12:28.040 This is very strange because New York City Mayor Eric Adams, he's a Democrat.
00:12:33.040 He's a fairly liberal Democrat, but actually, recently,
00:12:37.280 Mayor Adams has been saying some things that the liberals don't like.
00:12:40.760 So, the allegations here are that Mayor Adams' 2021 campaign colluded with the Turks.
00:12:52.420 Usually, we talk about colluding with the Russians or colluding with the Ukrainians,
00:12:57.240 sometimes colluding with the Chinese.
00:12:58.680 This is a new one.
00:12:59.760 Apparently, Eric Adams colluded with the Turks.
00:13:01.920 All right, add that to the list.
00:13:03.420 The allegation is that he received illegal campaign donations from the Turkish government.
00:13:08.640 And what are those donations?
00:13:10.740 According to the New York Post, campaign records show that Mayor Adams accepted $6,000
00:13:16.980 from three donors who served on a board backed by the son of the Turkish president, Erdogan.
00:13:31.680 Seriously?
00:13:33.540 That, hold on, let me, did I get that?
00:13:35.220 It must be $6 million, right?
00:13:36.800 No, $600,000, no, not even $60,000.
00:13:41.080 $6,000 from three donors who are on a board with the son of the leader of this.
00:13:50.420 Hold on, this isn't adding up to me until I realized, wait a second,
00:13:57.400 this doesn't have anything to do with campaign donations.
00:13:59.100 The reason that the Libs and the Liberal Enforcement Institution, the FBI, are going after Adams right now
00:14:05.560 is because he said this.
00:14:07.780 110,000 migrants.
00:14:13.080 We have to feed, close, house, educate the children, wash their laundry sheets,
00:14:20.660 give them everything they need, health care.
00:14:23.420 We're getting no support on this national crisis, and we're receiving no support.
00:14:32.260 And let me tell you something, New Yorkers.
00:14:35.740 Never in my life have I had a problem that I did not see an end into.
00:14:41.100 I don't see an end into this.
00:14:44.940 I don't see an end into this.
00:14:47.300 This issue will destroy New York City.
00:14:52.800 Destroy New York City.
00:14:54.220 There it is.
00:14:55.520 Oh, boy, there it is.
00:14:57.040 This was my first reaction.
00:14:58.580 When I saw the headline, Eric Adams investigated, I thought, oh, that guy piped up a little too much about immigration, didn't he?
00:15:04.140 That was his mistake.
00:15:06.740 I don't think it has to do with $6,000 from some people who once went to a Turkish bath on 11th Street or something.
00:15:12.440 I don't think it's because a couple guys ate falafel one day, and they gave Eric Adams a high five, and now he's under investigation.
00:15:20.780 Nah.
00:15:21.940 This guy spoke up against something that the liberals have to support, which is endless mass migration.
00:15:28.560 And he broke the script here, and he broke with the longstanding Democrat tradition of flooding the country with foreign nationals, and in particular, he criticized Joe Biden.
00:15:42.360 He's saying, Joe Biden, your policy is bad.
00:15:45.140 He embarrassed the sitting Democrat president, and then what do you know?
00:15:48.380 Joe Biden, the highly politicized investigative and law enforcement arm, run ultimately by that president, starts poking around Eric Adams' cell phone and iPad.
00:16:00.380 Looks like someone spoke up a little too much.
00:16:02.440 And then I don't want to be a tinfoil hat guy.
00:16:04.920 I really don't want to defend the Democrat mayor of New York, but I got to go where the facts lead me.
00:16:09.600 And in the reporting on this investigation into Adams, it says, following news of the investigation, Adams canceled his plan to discuss illegal immigration and the border crisis with the Biden administration.
00:16:22.380 There we go.
00:16:23.020 I hadn't even read that part before I came to my conclusion, my knee-jerk conclusion.
00:16:26.680 This has got to be about illegal immigration, which it is.
00:16:30.360 So now they start threatening Adams, and he says, okay, okay, I'll back off.
00:16:34.240 Okay, I won't meet with the Biden admin to talk about this problem.
00:16:40.240 Okay, I'll cool it and stop admitting publicly at least that illegal immigration will destroy New York City, which we all know, including the liberal Democrat mayor.
00:16:51.660 Now, speaking of cleaning up cities, a miracle happened over the weekend.
00:16:55.280 A miracle, something no one thought possible, very few people thought possible.
00:16:58.980 San Francisco, which in recent years has become a complete garbage heap.
00:17:02.400 San Francisco, which is now riddled with on the streets human excrement and people lying out, dying potentially of exposure, shooting up, dying of overdoses when they're not dying of exposure, just crime and filth filling the city, people fleeing what was once one of the most beautiful cities in the country.
00:17:21.080 Newsom cleaned it all up.
00:17:22.920 They cleaned up.
00:17:23.800 We have before pictures.
00:17:24.820 We got after pictures in San Francisco.
00:17:28.120 And just look, wow, the camps are gone.
00:17:30.820 The trash is gone.
00:17:32.160 The bums have been shuffled off.
00:17:35.260 It's all better.
00:17:37.560 How did they do that?
00:17:39.560 Well, it's all gone because Xi Jinping is coming to San Francisco.
00:17:45.560 All it took to clean up one of America's once great cities was for a Chinese communist dictator to come visit.
00:17:52.780 And then the civil authority decides they're going to clean it up.
00:17:56.840 Here's how the news is describing it.
00:17:58.540 While San Francisco is in the spotlight for the Asia Pacific Economic Conference, city leaders are making sure the city shines.
00:18:05.860 Tourism is our business here in San Francisco, and we need to focus on making sure that the tourist dollars still come back.
00:18:12.900 Caltrans repaving major roadways like the Harrison Street off-ramp from the I-80.
00:18:18.000 BART doubling down by deep-cleaning their stations overnight more often.
00:18:22.000 The city had gotten a little bit dingy over time.
00:18:26.280 Scrubbing and power washing is happening all over the city.
00:18:30.000 Yeah, the bottom of my shoes look clean.
00:18:31.500 It's noticeable how clear the streets look and how few homeless encampments there are on major thoroughfares.
00:18:37.760 Wow, they fixed it, which they always could have done.
00:18:42.440 They just weren't going to fix it for you.
00:18:44.540 They weren't going to fix it for the residents of San Francisco or of California or for Americans.
00:18:50.240 Forget about just making sure the bottom of your shoes are clean.
00:18:53.220 Don't forget, every day that vagrants are allowed to sit out and shoot up heroin or fentanyl on the streets of San Francisco, more and more Americans are dying.
00:19:01.100 They're being killed, if you ask me.
00:19:02.480 They're being poisoned, and they're being allowed to poison themselves by the civil authority.
00:19:05.940 So it's having a real body count every day that that's allowed to go on.
00:19:09.240 But that's fine when the only people affected are Americans.
00:19:12.640 But when we want to impress a Chinese dictator, well, then we've got to clean it up.
00:19:17.820 And it was done quickly.
00:19:19.340 Matter of days, they fixed the whole city.
00:19:21.900 Of course, there are a lot of political problems that we pretend just can't be fixed.
00:19:27.280 Well, you know, the border crisis, we can't, what can we do about that?
00:19:32.460 There's nothing to be done.
00:19:34.280 Even if we want, the walls don't work, the border protection agents, it doesn't work.
00:19:40.420 They can't, yes, they can.
00:19:41.180 Do you remember during the early days of COVID?
00:19:42.600 They locked that down pretty quick when they wanted to.
00:19:47.060 And then when they didn't want to, they didn't.
00:19:49.800 Do you remember in the, it can be done.
00:19:53.320 When the cops have actually cracked down on crime,
00:19:55.840 you see it in New York City when a Republican mayor took over.
00:19:58.080 They fixed New York City, which was one of the most crime-ridden cities in the country.
00:20:01.120 They fixed it almost overnight because Giuliani cared about it.
00:20:04.600 This can always be done when it comes to cleaning up the street,
00:20:08.320 when it comes to criminal justice, when it comes to election integrity.
00:20:10.920 They can lock that stuff down fast.
00:20:13.000 The reason that they're not doing that,
00:20:14.900 the reason that cities which Xi Jinping has not decided to visit
00:20:18.460 are still filthy and full of crime and full of drugs
00:20:22.040 and people are killing themselves is not because of incompetence.
00:20:25.240 That is an intentional policy by the liberal politicians
00:20:29.720 who could fix it in a jiffy.
00:20:32.080 They could fix it in 24 hours.
00:20:33.680 Even Mussolini over there, Governor Patrick Bateman in California,
00:20:37.040 who many have said is feckless, can't get anything done.
00:20:40.300 No, he's effective when he wants to be.
00:20:43.020 They just don't want to be.
00:20:45.400 When it's just a bunch of Americans living in filth and squalor and crime and dying,
00:20:49.620 they don't need to do their jobs.
00:20:54.300 But the Asia-Pacific conferences come.
00:20:56.180 Xi Jinping is here.
00:20:57.020 All right, we'll impress the Chinese communists.
00:20:59.620 That's fine.
00:21:00.200 Not a great look.

00:22:45.160 Speaking of people who want to be president,
00:22:48.840 moving on from Gavin Newsom for a second,
00:22:51.080 the results are in from the presidential debate last week.
00:22:55.160 I'm not talking about who won the debate.
00:22:57.920 I have my thoughts on it.
00:22:59.400 Some people have differed,
00:23:00.600 but really nobody who was on that stage won the debate
00:23:03.300 because very few people watched.
00:23:05.500 Seven and a half million people watched that debate,
00:23:09.200 which was hosted by NBC.
00:23:10.680 This is down from nine and a half million people
00:23:13.760 who watched the Fox News debate on September 27th.
00:23:18.040 But even that nine and a half million people doesn't matter
00:23:20.900 because that is down from the 24 million people
00:23:24.280 who watched the GOP primary debate in 2015.
00:23:28.100 2015, first GOP primary debate, you get 24 million people.
00:23:32.460 The next GOP primary debate, you get 22.9 million people.
00:23:36.660 So you lose a million and a half people,
00:23:38.620 but it's still a much larger number
00:23:41.400 than you're looking at here.
00:23:42.660 In this case, you lose 2 million people
00:23:44.460 between the previous debate and the most recent debate.
00:23:48.440 But the number is nine and a half down to seven and a half,
00:23:50.860 which is telling because it's not just about people
00:23:53.640 cutting the cord.
00:23:54.540 It's not just about people not subscribing to NBC anymore.
00:23:56.800 You could watch this thing on YouTube.
00:23:58.320 You always can.
00:24:01.140 It's that people know the debate is inconsequential.
00:24:04.480 So I kept an open mind.
00:24:05.900 I watched it, especially because I was going on
00:24:07.320 Megyn Kelly's show the next day,
00:24:08.440 and I promised her I would watch it to have a take.
00:24:10.760 Frankly, if I had not promised Megyn
00:24:12.480 that I would go over the debate with her the next day,
00:24:15.060 I'm not sure I would have watched it.
00:24:16.320 I probably would have watched a few clips.
00:24:17.920 I would have presented them for your enjoyment
00:24:20.220 and entertainment on this show.
00:24:23.540 But I would not have treated the debate
00:24:25.160 as something consequential because it isn't.
00:24:27.040 The polls are not really going to move.
00:24:28.640 Even if you love Ron DeSantis,
00:24:31.140 even if you love Nikki Haley,
00:24:32.280 even if you love Chris Christie,
00:24:33.940 the Chris Assange is about to happen,
00:24:35.560 we all know that the debate doesn't really matter.
00:24:41.200 Not only do the debates not move the poll numbers,
00:24:43.560 nothing seems to move the poll numbers.
00:24:45.460 The only way the poll numbers have moved
00:24:47.300 since this election season started
00:24:50.620 is a little bit more in the favor of the frontrunner
00:24:53.720 and a little bit away from the challengers.
00:24:57.000 Trump is now up on all of these challengers
00:24:59.980 anywhere from 46 to 56 points.
00:25:05.480 That's just the people who are on the stage.
00:25:07.860 So if the candidates want to turn it around,
00:25:09.980 they've got to do it somewhere other than the debate.
00:25:12.640 But I'm not sure where that is.
00:25:14.540 Even in Iowa, now DeSantis is betting his campaign on Iowa,
00:25:18.300 which is a dubious strategy
00:25:20.320 because Iowa generally does not predict
00:25:22.400 the Republican nominee.
00:25:23.360 But even if he's doing that,
00:25:26.060 the poll numbers don't seem to be moving.
00:25:27.840 The caucus goers who have committed their ballots
00:25:31.220 don't seem to be moving
00:25:32.480 in the direction of anyone other than Trump.
00:25:34.960 Now Nikki Haley is making moves in New Hampshire.
00:25:37.200 She's making moves in South Carolina.
00:25:38.700 Okay.
00:25:40.800 The question for all of these campaigns is,
00:25:43.420 what could they even possibly do at this point
00:25:46.240 to make a difference?
00:25:48.500 And if the answer is nothing,
00:25:49.900 if the answer at least at the debates is nothing,
00:25:51.440 why are we still having debates?
00:25:53.360 What's the point of it?
00:25:55.940 Is this primary,
00:25:58.280 I'm not saying it's totally over,
00:25:59.520 but is it, for all intents and purposes,
00:26:01.800 most likely over?
00:26:03.140 Even the head of the RNC,
00:26:05.160 Rhonda McDaniel,
00:26:06.120 seems to be saying that.
00:26:07.560 She was just asked on CNN if,
00:26:09.980 let's say that the primary continues
00:26:12.000 as it has been trending
00:26:13.020 since day one of the primary,
00:26:14.700 and Trump becomes the nominee.
00:26:15.860 Well, what happens if he gets convicted?
00:26:17.480 The odds of him getting convicted
00:26:18.780 in any of these cases,
00:26:21.500 about 100%.
00:26:22.500 The Democrats are throwing the kitchen sink
00:26:25.260 at this guy.
00:26:26.220 They're going after him at the federal level.
00:26:27.960 They're going after him at the state,
00:26:29.000 county level.
00:26:31.040 One of these charges has to stick.
00:26:32.800 Probably many of them will stick.
00:26:34.260 So then you're in a position
00:26:35.100 where the Republican nominee for president
00:26:36.780 or the presumptive nominee
00:26:39.060 is convicted of some allegedly serious crime.
00:26:43.040 And then what's going to happen?
00:26:43.880 Is the party going to back him?
00:26:45.100 Here's what the head of the RNC says.
00:26:47.100 If you end up having Donald Trump
00:26:49.200 as your nominee,
00:26:50.160 and if he is convicted of a crime,
00:26:53.420 do you believe that he would be
00:26:54.880 the appropriate nominee
00:26:55.860 for the Republican Party?
00:26:57.180 Whoever the voters choose
00:26:58.340 is the appropriate nominee.
00:26:59.180 Even if he's a convicted criminal?
00:27:01.200 I know this is newsworthy,
00:27:02.700 but as party chair,
00:27:04.160 I'm going to support
00:27:04.820 who the voters choose.
00:27:05.740 And yes, if they choose Donald Trump,
00:27:07.400 the voters are looking at this
00:27:08.800 and they think there's
00:27:09.580 a two-tiered system of justice.
00:27:11.200 They don't believe a lot of the things
00:27:13.320 that are coming out of this,
00:27:14.200 and they're making these decisions
00:27:15.240 and you're seeing that reflected
00:27:16.220 in the polls.
00:27:17.120 Okay, what she's said here,
00:27:18.460 whatever you think of Ronald McDaniel
00:27:19.520 is totally right.
00:27:21.220 It's the right thing to do.
00:27:22.380 Of course the RNC should back
00:27:23.780 the candidate
00:27:25.080 that the Republican voters
00:27:26.320 want to nominate.
00:27:27.860 Especially in this case
00:27:28.960 where the confounding factor
00:27:30.920 is this absurd attack on Trump,
00:27:33.560 this political persecution
00:27:34.520 that's based on nothing.
00:27:37.240 If the man had committed
00:27:38.380 a serious crime,
00:27:39.220 if he had seriously done that,
00:27:40.760 then I guess there would be
00:27:41.760 a conversation to be had.
00:27:42.820 But the fact that the best thing
00:27:44.540 that they can throw at Donald Trump
00:27:45.720 is that he ravished a woman
00:27:47.760 in the Bergdorf-Goodman dressing room
00:27:49.460 30 years ago, allegedly,
00:27:51.240 even though there's no evidence
00:27:52.100 that that happened whatsoever.
00:27:53.140 A lot of evidence
00:27:53.600 that didn't happen.
00:27:54.360 If the best they've got on him
00:27:55.580 is that he,
00:27:56.320 as the sitting president
00:27:57.100 of the United States,
00:27:58.040 called up the Georgia
00:27:58.760 Secretary of State and said,
00:27:59.980 hey, I think there was fraud
00:28:00.840 in the election.
00:28:01.440 Can you look into that for me?
00:28:02.920 It's completely absurd.
00:28:05.600 The fact that they're going after him
00:28:07.420 and they're saying
00:28:08.200 that his beautiful oceanfront property,
00:28:10.500 two, double oceanfront property,
00:28:12.020 because it spans the entirety
00:28:13.140 of Palm Beach,
00:28:13.680 one of the most beautiful
00:28:14.860 and valuable real estate locations
00:28:16.780 in the United States,
00:28:17.540 that it's worthless
00:28:18.240 and therefore they're going
00:28:18.860 to take his company away from him.
00:28:20.180 It's just so preposterous.
00:28:21.740 And even the Democrats know it.
00:28:23.020 Many of the Democrats, at least.
00:28:24.500 Even the independents
00:28:25.300 certainly know it.
00:28:25.960 In fact, we now have another poll
00:28:28.100 that just came out,
00:28:29.440 a Signal poll from November
00:28:30.820 showing that Donald Trump
00:28:32.960 is leading Joe Biden
00:28:34.240 among independent voters.
00:28:35.960 Right now, among independents,
00:28:36.940 it's not even all that close.
00:28:38.380 Trump 44, Biden 38, 18 undecided.
00:28:42.160 So, you know,
00:28:42.760 it could swing either way,
00:28:43.620 but Trump is leading.
00:28:45.000 Among all voters,
00:28:46.020 Biden is still beating Trump,
00:28:47.480 47 to 45.
00:28:49.600 But you might say,
00:28:50.620 okay, well, that's evidence
00:28:51.380 that we need to replace Trump
00:28:52.660 with some other Republican.
00:28:53.900 But according to the poll,
00:28:55.860 Joe Biden is doing even better
00:28:57.340 against a generic Republican.
00:28:59.440 So Biden beats Trump
00:29:00.400 by two points head to head.
00:29:02.900 Biden beats a generic Republican
00:29:04.360 by four points.
00:29:05.040 But usually,
00:29:05.960 the generic Republican
00:29:06.860 would be doing better
00:29:07.720 because the generic Republican
00:29:09.380 is just a blank slate
00:29:10.280 that you could project
00:29:10.920 whatever you want onto.
00:29:12.620 In this case, however,
00:29:14.760 it's flipped,
00:29:15.800 which means that once
00:29:17.520 you replace generic Republican
00:29:18.540 with any of the other candidates,
00:29:19.840 the numbers are going
00:29:20.420 to get even worse.
00:29:22.260 Whether you hate the guy
00:29:23.700 or love the guy,
00:29:25.300 Donald Trump is just something
00:29:26.560 a little bit different
00:29:27.460 in politics.
00:29:28.220 You saw this when
00:29:28.940 he rolls up to UFC
00:29:30.260 with Tucker Carlson,
00:29:32.760 Don Jr.,
00:29:33.940 Kid Rock,
00:29:34.560 and Dana White
00:29:35.380 and the crowd goes crazy.
00:29:37.440 How strong that team is
00:29:39.140 making his way
00:29:40.740 into the building.
00:29:42.240 One of the bigger
00:29:42.860 mixed martial arts fans,
00:29:44.360 I know President Donald Trump
00:29:47.460 taking his octagon side seat
00:29:49.760 for UFC 295.
00:29:57.340 We got two title fights
00:29:58.620 coming up at UFC 295
00:30:00.100 here in a matter of moments.
00:30:01.600 Live from Madison Square Garden.
00:30:04.560 And President Trump
00:30:05.540 will be here to witness
00:30:06.700 all of it.
00:30:07.900 There he is.
00:30:08.760 They're going crazy.
00:30:10.720 Imagine Mitt Romney
00:30:11.720 walking into the UFC stadium.
00:30:15.220 Whoa, wait.
00:30:16.020 Oh, who is that?
00:30:16.680 Okay, never mind.
00:30:17.560 Let's go get a beer.
00:30:18.840 You know, it's not
00:30:19.540 Trump and Tucker.
00:30:21.100 It's Mitt Romney
00:30:21.980 and Jake Tapper
00:30:22.840 walking into the stadium.
00:30:24.600 And the crowd goes wild.
00:30:25.760 No, of course not.
00:30:28.200 And this is, by the way,
00:30:28.900 this is Trump.
00:30:29.660 What are we at now?
00:30:30.460 Eight years after he first declared
00:30:31.940 he was running for president.
00:30:34.560 And then won the following year.
00:30:36.200 And even after all that,
00:30:37.520 the crowd still loves him.
00:30:38.980 But it's not the crowd
00:30:40.060 of the nice Washington, D.C.
00:30:42.180 think tank set,
00:30:43.040 many of whom hate his guts.
00:30:44.660 It's not the crowd
00:30:45.500 that reacts to the Mitt Romneys
00:30:46.760 of the world.
00:30:47.380 It's the UFC fans.
00:30:50.160 With one exception.
00:30:51.440 The comedian Bill Burr
00:30:52.280 was sitting there.
00:30:52.920 And he's sitting there
00:30:53.460 and he's looking respectful
00:30:54.220 as Trump walks by.
00:30:55.380 They're all sitting,
00:30:56.180 you know, ringside.
00:30:56.780 And Bill Burr's wife
00:30:58.480 flips off Donald Trump
00:31:00.680 right in front of the camera.
00:31:02.340 And everybody is attacking Bill Burr
00:31:04.680 and Bill Burr's wife for this.
00:31:06.560 I think I'm going to lay off him.
00:31:09.360 One, I think Bill Burr
00:31:10.160 is a pretty funny guy.
00:31:11.680 What his wife did
00:31:12.820 is extremely unfortunate
00:31:13.960 and sad.
00:31:16.220 And if it were my,
00:31:17.480 it would never be my wife
00:31:18.540 because sweet little Elisa
00:31:19.440 is a civilized woman.
00:31:22.180 But, you know,
00:31:24.200 if it were my wife,
00:31:25.080 we'd probably have a little chat
00:31:26.100 when we got home
00:31:26.800 and say, no, you know, honey,
00:31:27.960 it's actually very bad
00:31:28.960 to disrespect the former
00:31:30.140 president of the United States
00:31:31.300 on national television.
00:31:34.000 And just to behave like that
00:31:35.940 generally as a lady,
00:31:37.960 as really anyone in public,
00:31:39.300 is very vulgar
00:31:41.040 and not good.
00:31:42.420 Not a good thing.
00:31:43.640 But I'm not going to attack Bill Burr
00:31:44.660 and I'm not really going after
00:31:45.340 his wife too hard for this
00:31:46.400 because
00:31:47.320 I'm sure most people out there,
00:31:52.100 myself excluded,
00:31:53.540 most people out there
00:31:54.500 have been with their spouses
00:31:56.340 in public
00:31:56.860 and the spouse has done something
00:31:59.220 kind of embarrassing.
00:32:00.900 And it's,
00:32:01.380 I'm sure Bill Burr
00:32:02.220 is mortified by this.
00:32:03.500 And so I don't,
00:32:04.160 Bill, he's a funny guy.
00:32:05.120 He's, I'm not going to,
00:32:05.880 I'm not going to attack him for it.
00:32:07.200 It's very unfortunate.
00:32:08.880 But in a way,
00:32:10.020 it's kind of a nice
00:32:11.120 silver lining
00:32:12.500 here because
00:32:14.020 more than a silver lining.
00:32:15.420 It's actually
00:32:16.060 affirmatively helpful
00:32:17.680 for the Republicans
00:32:18.940 and for Trump
00:32:19.680 because it shows you the contrast.
00:32:21.200 One,
00:32:21.840 Bill Burr's wife
00:32:22.600 attacking Trump
00:32:24.100 gets people talking about this.
00:32:25.600 And then what are people looking at?
00:32:26.960 How big was that stadium?
00:32:28.780 I'm going to pull a number
00:32:29.680 out of thin air.
00:32:30.260 Let's say it was 20,000 people.
00:32:31.760 That means 19,999 people
00:32:34.720 in that stadium
00:32:35.400 were thrilled to see
00:32:36.900 Trump,
00:32:37.740 the presumptive Republican nominee,
00:32:39.800 Tucker,
00:32:40.460 the biggest cable news host
00:32:42.620 and right-wing cable news host
00:32:44.080 ever in all of history.
00:32:46.060 Kid Rock,
00:32:46.920 very prominent
00:32:47.720 right-wing musician
00:32:48.520 who blew up Bud Light
00:32:49.620 with a machine gun.
00:32:52.160 They all loved him.
00:32:54.080 One person,
00:32:55.000 one very loud person
00:32:55.880 did not like him.
00:32:57.740 I don't know.
00:32:58.160 To me,
00:32:58.480 I like those numbers.
00:33:00.280 Not saying it means
00:33:01.060 Trump's going to win.
00:33:01.720 I'm not saying
00:33:02.120 I would bet any money
00:33:03.000 that Trump is going to win
00:33:03.840 in a general election.
00:33:04.940 We know that the Democrats
00:33:05.960 are very good at rigging things
00:33:07.240 and the people can be fickle too.
00:33:09.820 But in a fair election,
00:33:11.940 when I'm looking at
00:33:12.680 not just one poll,
00:33:13.600 which could be faked,
00:33:14.340 not just two polls,
00:33:15.120 which could be faked,
00:33:15.900 but I'm looking at
00:33:16.540 all the evidence
00:33:17.100 available to me
00:33:17.960 in a fair election,
00:33:19.880 I like the Republican chances.
00:33:21.340 The other question
00:33:21.940 about UFC here is,
00:33:23.800 what's Tucker doing there?
00:33:26.420 What's Tucker Carlson
00:33:28.680 doing there with that fight?
00:33:31.140 Is Trump floating Tucker
00:33:33.100 for VP?
00:33:35.880 Some have suggested it.
00:33:37.400 I've floated this idea
00:33:38.480 for years at this point.
00:33:40.120 Seems crazy, right?
00:33:41.180 If I were Tucker two years ago,
00:33:43.900 I probably wouldn't want this.
00:33:45.180 Why would he want it?
00:33:46.320 He's making tens of millions
00:33:47.240 of dollars a year at Fox News.
00:33:48.540 He's got a very prominent perch.
00:33:50.540 He's the most influential
00:33:51.620 conservative on television.
00:33:53.200 Why would he?
00:33:53.700 Well, but then Fox News
00:33:55.220 took that from him.
00:33:56.340 So he's still extremely influential.
00:33:58.100 He's still doing great stuff.
00:33:58.980 But he's got less to lose
00:34:01.060 in terms of money,
00:34:01.860 less to lose in terms of influence.
00:34:04.720 And the base loves him.
00:34:06.900 Who else could run with Trump
00:34:08.500 that the base loves?
00:34:12.160 None of the people
00:34:12.960 currently running for president.
00:34:14.760 None of the ones
00:34:15.340 who are on that debate stage.
00:34:17.200 The nearest who could run
00:34:18.480 with Trump would probably be Vivek.
00:34:20.220 But he's probably just too fresh
00:34:22.100 and young to be really excited.
00:34:26.200 I don't know.
00:34:26.560 I mean, maybe he could.
00:34:27.140 He's a very talented guy.
00:34:28.100 But it's not going to be Christie.
00:34:29.320 It's not going to be Nikki Haley.
00:34:30.600 It's not going to be Tim Scott.
00:34:31.800 It's not going to be
00:34:33.500 Ron DeSantis at this point.
00:34:34.900 It couldn't be Ron DeSantis
00:34:36.040 because they're both from Florida.
00:34:38.500 So constitutionally,
00:34:39.520 it wouldn't even work
00:34:40.120 if they wanted to win the election.
00:34:41.360 So who's it going to be?
00:34:43.340 Could be some of these guys
00:34:44.440 that no one really knows about.
00:34:45.300 Byron Donalds is a Republican congressman.
00:34:47.360 His name has been floated.
00:34:48.140 Could be Carrie Lake.
00:34:49.920 But she lost her race for governor.
00:34:51.580 I just don't.
00:34:53.020 Tucker, though.
00:34:53.600 He's really popular.
00:34:54.460 And he represents
00:34:55.340 the Trump wing of the party.
00:34:58.660 He represents
00:34:59.560 the Buchanan wing of the party.
00:35:01.720 He represents
00:35:02.640 the conservative wing
00:35:03.940 of the conservative movement
00:35:05.160 in a way that the other candidates
00:35:07.340 simply don't.
00:35:09.560 I don't know.
00:35:10.040 Look, maybe Trump was just out there
00:35:11.480 going to take in a nice fight
00:35:12.640 with his buddy Tucker.
00:35:13.980 Or maybe
00:35:14.640 this was a little weather balloon.
00:35:16.980 Maybe they were just floating something.
00:35:18.120 I don't know.
00:35:18.340 What do you think of the thing
00:35:19.140 that they might have been floating?
00:35:20.380 What do you think about that?
00:35:23.060 You know,
00:35:23.420 when you go into the UFC ring
00:35:24.660 and you just get your
00:35:25.360 lights knocked out,
00:35:26.760 that's sometimes
00:35:27.540 not very healthy for you
00:35:28.980 if you're the one
00:35:29.920 actually fighting
00:35:30.540 and getting concussed.
00:35:31.820 But you know what is really healthy?

00:35:59.720 Is nutrition brown?
00:36:00.680 No.

00:36:52.620 My favorite comment
00:36:53.660 on Friday
00:36:54.060 is from Matt Ray
00:36:54.800 4876
00:36:55.520 who says,
00:36:57.200 the fact that the witch
00:36:58.120 refers to women
00:36:58.900 as womb bodies
00:37:00.040 is next level insanity.
00:37:02.040 The fact that
00:37:03.600 that statement
00:37:04.300 can be uttered
00:37:05.000 with a straight face
00:37:05.860 and convey meaning
00:37:06.920 to me
00:37:07.440 and to the audience
00:37:08.180 is perhaps even
00:37:09.680 nexter leveler
00:37:10.620 insanity.
00:37:11.620 Wouldn't you say?
00:37:12.480 There are witches.
00:37:17.480 There have been witches
00:37:18.500 for all of human history.
00:37:19.260 Virtually everyone
00:37:19.860 for all of human history
00:37:20.540 everywhere has believed
00:37:21.500 that there are witches
00:37:22.460 until modern people
00:37:24.800 for the last
00:37:25.560 like 50 or so years.
00:37:26.640 Modern liberal atheists
00:37:27.580 say that there are not witches.
00:37:28.660 But everyone else
00:37:29.320 including the witches themselves
00:37:30.320 say no there are witches.
00:37:31.560 Some they'll say
00:37:31.920 no we are witches.
00:37:32.980 We do these things.
00:37:34.820 And
00:37:35.120 she doesn't refer to women.
00:37:37.940 She refers to womb bodies.
00:37:39.260 And what's really crazy
00:37:40.360 is not that some wacko
00:37:41.560 like devil worshipping witch
00:37:42.880 would use weird language
00:37:44.520 and dehumanizing language
00:37:45.860 to refer to human beings.
00:37:48.260 What's crazier
00:37:49.100 is that
00:37:49.820 HR probably uses
00:37:52.340 similar language.
00:37:53.840 What's crazy
00:37:54.440 is that the diversity
00:37:55.580 counselor
00:37:56.220 at your
00:37:56.820 public university
00:37:58.440 your very prominent
00:37:59.720 elite university
00:38:00.820 probably uses
00:38:01.380 the same language.
00:38:03.900 The witchiness
00:38:04.700 has spread
00:38:05.860 beyond the covens.
00:38:08.460 Now speaking of
00:38:09.260 expanding the base
00:38:10.680 there's another poll
00:38:12.540 this is the day
00:38:13.800 of polls
00:38:14.460 this is a poll
00:38:15.380 from CNN
00:38:15.840 shows Trump
00:38:16.840 leading Biden
00:38:17.640 not only among
00:38:19.080 independents
00:38:19.520 but among
00:38:19.920 men of color
00:38:21.560 49 to 46
00:38:24.060 so it doesn't say
00:38:26.080 that Trump
00:38:26.420 is leading Biden
00:38:27.080 among all black people
00:38:28.060 or all persons
00:38:29.840 of color
00:38:30.380 but specifically
00:38:31.840 among men of color
00:38:32.840 Trump's leading
00:38:34.960 49 to 46
00:38:35.980 some people
00:38:37.880 are skeptical
00:38:38.340 because this is
00:38:38.840 a big difference
00:38:39.560 from how the
00:38:41.440 elections have
00:38:41.960 turned out
00:38:42.280 in the past
00:38:42.840 but what the
00:38:43.580 polling shows
00:38:44.240 is that
00:38:45.440 42%
00:38:46.760 of black men
00:38:48.460 are eligible
00:38:48.980 voters
00:38:49.460 12%
00:38:51.780 of eligible
00:38:52.700 black men
00:38:53.260 voted for
00:38:53.840 Trump in 2020
00:38:54.760 87%
00:38:56.460 of black men
00:38:57.280 voted for Joe
00:38:58.140 Biden in 2020
00:38:58.980 now
00:38:59.960 those numbers
00:39:01.680 seem to have
00:39:02.140 evened out
00:39:02.660 in fact in
00:39:03.220 Trump's favor
00:39:03.780 look at
00:39:05.480 Hispanics
00:39:06.180 58% of Hispanic
00:39:07.780 men are eligible
00:39:08.340 voters
00:39:08.700 40% of Hispanic
00:39:10.000 men voted
00:39:10.380 for Trump
00:39:10.720 in 2020
00:39:11.200 57%
00:39:12.440 of Hispanic
00:39:12.920 men voted
00:39:13.300 for Biden
00:39:13.660 so I've seen
00:39:15.320 these numbers
00:39:15.760 before that
00:39:16.480 black men
00:39:17.040 and Hispanic
00:39:17.560 men are now
00:39:18.440 breaking for
00:39:19.000 Trump
00:39:19.280 in a head-to-head
00:39:20.460 I don't know
00:39:21.500 if I was very
00:39:22.220 skeptical of it
00:39:22.840 the first time
00:39:23.220 I saw the poll
00:39:23.700 I was very
00:39:24.900 skeptical the
00:39:25.360 second time
00:39:25.680 I saw the poll
00:39:26.140 but I'm
00:39:27.160 seeing this
00:39:28.080 recur again
00:39:28.640 and again
00:39:28.920 and so I
00:39:29.280 remain skeptical
00:39:30.240 the only poll
00:39:31.260 that really
00:39:31.580 matters is at
00:39:32.240 the ballot box
00:39:32.800 but also
00:39:36.580 there are
00:39:37.320 cities with
00:39:38.540 machines that
00:39:39.340 can skew
00:39:40.060 results
00:39:40.460 I'm thinking
00:39:40.800 of Pittsburgh
00:39:41.160 I'm thinking
00:39:41.660 of Milwaukee
00:39:42.160 but is it
00:39:44.240 possible
00:39:44.680 I'm not saying
00:39:45.900 the women of
00:39:46.820 color
00:39:47.040 I'm not saying
00:39:47.680 the women vote
00:39:48.320 Democrat
00:39:48.680 generally
00:39:49.260 but have the
00:39:50.900 men of color
00:39:51.680 as a swarthy
00:39:52.540 man myself
00:39:53.160 have the men
00:39:53.800 of color
00:39:54.180 begun to wake
00:39:55.700 up
00:39:55.980 perhaps
00:39:57.840 think of
00:39:58.880 think of the
00:39:59.340 misery index
00:39:59.860 right now
00:40:00.140 think of the
00:40:00.700 approval rating
00:40:01.380 that Biden
00:40:01.760 is looking at
00:40:02.360 think of the
00:40:03.060 fact that our
00:40:03.580 country is being
00:40:04.100 humiliated and
00:40:04.800 the stakes are
00:40:05.260 getting real
00:40:05.720 it's no longer
00:40:06.660 just a willy-nilly
00:40:09.400 question of
00:40:10.220 preferences
00:40:10.660 we're now on the
00:40:11.300 brink of World War
00:40:11.980 Three
00:40:12.320 is it
00:40:14.800 it's Paul look
00:40:15.480 I think it's
00:40:16.240 possible
00:40:16.580 now speaking of
00:40:17.240 support for
00:40:17.560 Trump
00:40:17.780 he just picked
00:40:18.620 up an endorsement
00:40:19.280 from his old
00:40:20.420 employee
00:40:21.340 Sarah Sanders
00:40:22.500 who's now the
00:40:23.000 governor of
00:40:23.360 Arkansas
00:40:23.680 the truth is
00:40:25.700 it's not even
00:40:26.300 a question anymore
00:40:27.400 between right
00:40:28.220 and left
00:40:28.880 it is normal
00:40:30.460 versus crazy
00:40:31.780 and the left
00:40:32.620 is doubling
00:40:33.240 down on crazy
00:40:34.480 we've got out
00:40:37.380 of control
00:40:37.940 inflation
00:40:38.640 violent crime
00:40:40.400 an open border
00:40:41.880 a rising China
00:40:43.560 Biden and the
00:40:45.220 left have failed
00:40:46.240 over and over
00:40:47.520 again and they
00:40:48.600 know it and you
00:40:49.480 know it and it
00:40:50.160 is time for a
00:40:51.200 change
00:40:51.660 that is why
00:40:56.180 tonight
00:40:56.700 I am so
00:40:58.180 proud
00:40:58.680 to endorse
00:41:00.120 my former
00:41:01.500 boss
00:41:02.060 my friend
00:41:03.440 and everybody's
00:41:05.760 favorite president
00:41:06.780 Donald J.
00:41:07.860 Trump
00:41:08.160 all right there
00:41:10.140 we go
00:41:10.400 probably only a
00:41:11.240 matter of time
00:41:11.940 Sarah had
00:41:12.540 initially said
00:41:13.300 she was going
00:41:13.720 to hold out
00:41:14.140 of the race
00:41:14.620 at least for a
00:41:15.140 little bit
00:41:15.520 and then she
00:41:16.160 comes out
00:41:16.640 and endorses
00:41:17.420 him
00:41:17.680 probably the
00:41:19.040 endorsement from
00:41:20.100 Sarah was to
00:41:20.800 counter the
00:41:21.260 endorsement for
00:41:21.860 DeSantis
00:41:22.340 of Kim
00:41:23.660 Reynolds who's
00:41:24.200 the governor
00:41:24.480 of Iowa
00:41:25.100 I love I
00:41:27.100 don't know Kim
00:41:27.580 Reynolds I
00:41:28.100 love Sarah
00:41:28.500 Sanders love
00:41:29.300 her dad Mike
00:41:29.820 Huckabee I
00:41:31.480 don't think
00:41:31.980 these politician
00:41:32.900 endorsements matter
00:41:33.940 at all I
00:41:34.820 think the point
00:41:35.480 of the politician
00:41:36.200 endorsements is
00:41:38.240 to sway public
00:41:39.340 opinion and
00:41:40.440 that's often how
00:41:41.300 it works I
00:41:43.100 think in this
00:41:43.700 race the
00:41:44.580 politician
00:41:45.020 endorsements are
00:41:45.760 following public
00:41:46.560 opinion I think
00:41:48.180 that's why the
00:41:48.620 politicians have
00:41:49.240 stayed on the
00:41:49.640 sidelines including
00:41:50.720 even politicians
00:41:51.420 who worked for
00:41:51.960 Trump in a very
00:41:52.480 public way and
00:41:54.300 then as the
00:41:55.340 election is
00:41:56.480 coming down to
00:41:57.860 the wire the
00:41:59.500 politicians are
00:42:00.180 following I don't
00:42:00.860 I don't think it
00:42:01.520 really matters I
00:42:03.440 think that people
00:42:05.080 are looking at
00:42:06.140 where the polls
00:42:07.400 are moving they're
00:42:09.100 looking at crowd
00:42:09.740 sizes they're
00:42:10.260 looking at UFC
00:42:10.920 things like UFC
00:42:13.740 and they're seeing
00:42:14.420 oh okay this is
00:42:16.740 what's happening
00:42:17.340 well let's let's
00:42:18.600 shake it out even
00:42:19.420 even Ronna McDaniel
00:42:21.200 who's the head of
00:42:21.760 the RNC she's got
00:42:23.100 to grit her teeth
00:42:23.740 and say yeah we'll
00:42:24.520 support the the
00:42:26.120 nominee even if he's
00:42:27.120 a convicted felon
00:42:27.940 part of the reason
00:42:29.180 for that is Ronna
00:42:30.160 McDaniel only has
00:42:31.060 her job because
00:42:31.680 Trump tolerates
00:42:33.000 her there's a huge
00:42:34.660 call among
00:42:35.180 Republicans to get
00:42:36.040 rid of Ronna
00:42:36.460 McDaniel but she
00:42:37.800 hasn't fallen afoul of
00:42:38.800 Trump yet I have a
00:42:40.380 little sympathy for
00:42:41.040 her in that I'm not
00:42:42.340 convinced the leader
00:42:43.160 of the RNC actually
00:42:44.260 does all that much
00:42:45.260 we blame the leader
00:42:46.400 of the RNC for
00:42:47.820 elections being won
00:42:48.860 or lost I think
00:42:49.940 they actually have a
00:42:50.680 relatively small degree
00:42:52.100 of influence in all of
00:42:53.000 that it's easy enough
00:42:53.720 to blame the person
00:42:54.400 but Ronna she also
00:42:56.460 knows where her bread
00:42:57.160 is buttered I think
00:42:58.020 a lot of Republicans
00:42:58.740 are going to figure
00:42:59.240 that out too and so
00:43:01.960 it won't it won't be a
00:43:03.780 matter of these
00:43:04.540 visionary political
00:43:05.680 governors and leaders
00:43:07.060 and influencers saying
00:43:08.180 no this is the
00:43:08.720 direction our party
00:43:09.280 must take it looks
00:43:10.720 like the result of
00:43:12.140 this barring some
00:43:13.360 extraordinary event was
00:43:14.880 baked in from the
00:43:15.660 beginning and the
00:43:17.240 people as has been
00:43:18.320 the case for seven
00:43:19.400 eight years now the
00:43:20.600 people have begun to
00:43:22.020 lead the party against
00:43:23.500 the will of the party
00:43:25.160 elites and the smart
00:43:26.040 party elites go along
00:43:27.740 with it lest they get
00:43:28.900 run over now speaking
00:43:30.800 of prominent women a
00:43:33.060 two-time Olympic gold
00:43:34.300 medalist Carly Lloyd
00:43:35.820 she's a soccer player
00:43:38.060 she has just made a
00:43:39.760 shocking declaration
00:43:41.940 she has declared that
00:43:44.740 men are better at
00:43:46.080 soccer than women
00:43:47.400 she has this this
00:43:49.620 woman has just
00:43:51.480 declared that men are
00:43:52.420 better at sports than
00:43:53.180 women can you imagine
00:43:54.000 because someone
00:43:55.120 responded to her and
00:43:55.780 said hey is it true
00:43:56.720 that you guys lost to
00:43:57.480 a bunch of 15 year old
00:43:58.300 boys you sometimes hear
00:43:59.040 this that that women's
00:44:00.420 soccer team the
00:44:01.440 professional women's
00:44:02.120 soccer team lost to a
00:44:03.480 group of 15 year old
00:44:04.240 boys and she responds
00:44:06.360 and goes yeah that's
00:44:07.480 true I know thousands
00:44:08.580 of people have already
00:44:09.120 brought that up the
00:44:09.860 boys were good we
00:44:10.800 actually lost to a
00:44:11.500 youth Bayern Munich
00:44:12.340 team in my career as
00:44:13.520 well but then we went
00:44:14.500 on to win the Olympics
00:44:15.160 and the World Cup so
00:44:16.240 yeah we we lost to
00:44:18.900 boys because we're
00:44:19.600 girls but then we beat
00:44:21.120 other girls because
00:44:22.740 we're relatively better
00:44:23.560 at soccer than other
00:44:24.240 girls she goes haha
00:44:26.360 they should beat us
00:44:27.660 they should the boys
00:44:28.860 should beat us they're
00:44:30.060 bigger stronger and
00:44:31.700 faster boys always gave
00:44:34.040 us a run for our money
00:44:34.960 and that was great prep
00:44:35.980 what a great attitude
00:44:37.140 this woman almost could
00:44:38.720 get me to like soccer
00:44:39.580 is that's the right
00:44:41.740 answer yes the boys
00:44:42.840 beat us this is not a
00:44:43.680 mark of shame this is
00:44:44.480 not something we need
00:44:45.000 to hide the boys beat
00:44:46.940 us they're boys vive la
00:44:49.500 difference this is yes
00:44:50.840 that's good that boys
00:44:51.740 beat us and we can
00:44:52.960 actually work with the
00:44:54.240 boys they can help us
00:44:54.960 train to beat the girls
00:44:55.900 because we acknowledge
00:44:56.600 reality we know that
00:44:59.060 they are better at this
00:45:00.020 than us that's good
00:45:01.260 that's that's the right
00:45:02.420 attitude to sexual
00:45:03.060 difference and you see
00:45:04.280 the feminists men and
00:45:08.040 women are totally wrong
00:45:09.460 on this where they
00:45:10.000 pretend men and women
00:45:10.620 are exactly the same
00:45:11.540 and it ends up creating
00:45:12.680 me too and rape culture
00:45:14.200 and all the terrible
00:45:15.100 pathologies that infect
00:45:16.540 the relation between the
00:45:18.100 sexes today but you even
00:45:19.440 see this among the red
00:45:23.000 pill kind of movement
00:45:24.260 which they bring up a lot
00:45:25.660 of legitimate gripes so I
00:45:26.720 don't want to knock the
00:45:27.340 red pill guys too much but
00:45:28.540 their conclusions often are
00:45:29.780 very wrong and they
00:45:31.500 discuss the difference
00:45:32.340 between men and women
00:45:33.060 with anger you know
00:45:34.020 these they're these
00:45:35.200 women are so different
00:45:35.840 than we are or or
00:45:37.760 these these men are
00:45:40.000 are barbarians or
00:45:41.660 whatever you know they
00:45:42.140 even try to behave like
00:45:43.180 barbarians sometimes but
00:45:44.220 the difference between
00:45:46.100 the sexes is something to
00:45:47.060 be celebrated it's
00:45:48.000 lovely it's delightful I
00:45:50.320 like that if the sexes
00:45:51.420 were exactly the same
00:45:52.420 that would make us all
00:45:53.260 gay guys and then and
00:45:55.180 that would be which I
00:45:56.180 guess there are a lot of
00:45:56.700 gay guys today and we
00:45:57.540 have a very confused
00:45:58.220 sexual culture today but
00:45:59.860 the fact that men and
00:46:00.700 women are different you
00:46:01.260 say oh good women
00:46:02.200 they're so different I
00:46:03.420 can't even I can't
00:46:04.180 understand them they're
00:46:05.800 they're so strange they
00:46:07.560 don't they drive me
00:46:08.400 crazy in many ways but
00:46:10.640 isn't that fun one of
00:46:11.720 the joys of life now
00:46:13.080 speaking of prominent
00:46:14.180 women there's a great
00:46:15.460 story that I'm going to
00:46:16.220 tease Iyan Hirsi Ali who
00:46:20.660 was raised Muslim who has
00:46:22.900 been the object of a lot
00:46:23.920 of radical Muslim ire she
00:46:25.700 became an atheist she was
00:46:27.280 one of the most prominent
00:46:28.100 atheists in the world for
00:46:29.660 the past 15 or so years
00:46:31.420 she is an atheist no
00:46:33.840 longer she's not a
00:46:34.760 Muslim either we'll get
00:46:35.500 to what Iyan Hirsi Ali
00:46:36.720 is maybe tomorrow the
00:46:38.480 rest of the show
00:46:38.940 continues now you do
00:46:39.740 not want to miss it
