00:00:00.000 A popular kids show, quite possibly the most popular kids show in the world,
00:00:03.680 is apparently trying to turn your child into a tutu-wearing, mama-denying, gender-bending 0.90
00:00:08.600 dancer, as evidenced by this recently viral clip.
00:00:13.080 Thing that we know about you, you love to get up and dance.
00:00:19.800 How about you break out those moves for your two biggest fans?
00:00:30.000 If you're not sure what to choose, think about all the things you like to do.
00:00:38.120 Just be you.
00:00:40.040 Just be me?
00:00:41.480 Yep.
00:00:42.240 When you're trying to decide, think about all the things you like to do.
00:00:49.400 Just be you.
00:00:51.320 Just be me!
00:00:53.460 I believe that clip was dug up by the Twitter account End Wokeness.
00:00:57.420 I'm not sure I will ever forgive End Wokeness for digging that up. 0.86
00:01:00.520 Why shouldn't kids' shows depict little boys wearing tutus and dancing for the pleasure
00:01:07.320 of homosexual men who have somehow gained custody of them, huh? 0.52
00:01:09.980 Come on, man, it's 2023.
00:01:12.600 Sure, until the mid to late 20th century, anyone who ever considered creating a scene like that,
00:01:19.080 even for adults, would have been ostracized from polite society and likely prosecuted.
00:01:23.900 But it's 2023.
00:01:25.860 Standards have changed.
00:01:27.180 Get with the program.
00:01:28.720 This is just what kids are watching these days.
00:01:32.040 This is what kids are watching these days.
00:01:35.340 When I say Cocomelon is popular, I mean it's the third biggest channel on YouTube ever.
00:01:42.980 I mean 169 million subscribers on YouTube.
00:01:46.920 It's the second most viewed channel on YouTube.
00:01:50.080 I'm talking 172 billion views.
00:01:53.900 Billion with a B.
00:01:54.780 This channel has distribution deals with Netflix, Roku, and Hulu.
00:02:00.080 It's been able to rack up all of those views, according to a New York Times profile, through
00:02:05.080 a single-minded strategy to keep kids' attention.
00:02:08.740 Liberal friends of mine who let their kids watch Cocomelon have described it as crack for
00:02:13.540 kids.
00:02:13.920 I have not put Cocomelon on for my kids for a few reasons.
00:02:19.660 One, because I love them.
00:02:21.540 Two, because the show has always struck me as extremely annoying.
00:02:26.500 And three, because I just assume that anything modern and popular and praised by the libs is poison.
00:02:33.000 Now we have proof.
00:02:35.440 That's why we launched our own kids' platform, BentKey.
00:02:38.220 If you're already a Daily Wire member, then you've already got it.
00:02:41.380 And if you're not, and you have kids, I strongly recommend that you get it now.
00:02:44.760 But even if you don't, at the very least, I strongly recommend that you do not put your kids in front of Cocomelon.
00:02:50.260 When the indoctrination is subtle, it's easy to blame the content producers.
00:02:54.700 When the leftist indoctrination is this overt, if we keep putting it on for our kids, then we have no one to blame but ourselves.
00:03:03.340 I'm Michael Knowles.
00:03:04.040 This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:03:20.260 Welcome back to the show.
00:03:26.040 A new scientific study just dropped shows that you are destroying the world by breathing.
00:03:32.740 So you know the solution.
00:03:34.440 That's just what the scientists say.
00:03:36.340 You know what you have to do.
00:03:37.880 You know what else is destroying the world, according to these people?
00:03:39.940 When cows flatulate.
00:03:42.880 So they want you to give up all your meat, of course, and they want you to eat grass or something and become a bunny rabbit.
00:03:48.000 But I don't recommend that.

00:05:10.600 I can already hear the objection to my criticism of Cocomelon.
00:05:14.240 They're going to say, the libs, of course.
00:05:16.560 They're going to say, Michael, what's wrong with a kid being himself?
00:05:21.840 What's wrong with a nice, supportive, loving family encouraging a kid to be himself?
00:05:26.960 Just be yourself.
00:05:30.240 I guess what's wrong is the assumption that that makes about human nature,
00:05:34.600 which is that there's this true self at the core of an onion,
00:05:40.600 and we just need to peel away the layers of society and norms and standards and practice
00:05:46.500 and morality and tradition and ritual.
00:05:49.480 We need to peel away all those layers, and then we will get to the true core of the self.
00:05:53.680 And the true core for that little boy is wearing tutus and dancing for a couple of homosexuals. 0.99
00:05:58.780 That's the true, that's his real identity.
00:06:02.740 Once you peel away the layers of oppression in society, that's not actually how human nature works.
00:06:08.640 It's not actually how identity works.
00:06:10.320 This is so insidious because what really lies at the core of human behavior,
00:06:18.220 certain things are genetic predispositions, certain things are just woven into the fabric of human nature,
00:06:23.580 but a lot of human behavior, and especially human desire, comes from imitation.
00:06:30.760 We imitate the people around us.
00:06:34.060 We're like chimpanzees in this way.
00:06:35.440 We mimic people.
00:06:37.580 We are mimetic creatures.
00:06:41.120 The baby learns to talk by copying his mommy and daddy.
00:06:44.980 One hopes he has a mommy and daddy.
00:06:46.980 The baby learns to talk.
00:06:48.260 The parents are speaking, and then the baby says,
00:06:50.740 Mama, dada.
00:06:52.700 Mama, mama. 0.61
00:06:54.020 Mama, mama. 0.61
00:06:55.020 And then you say other words, you know.
00:06:57.100 Applesauce.
00:06:57.940 Applesauce.
00:06:58.480 And they learn to copy you.
00:07:00.520 If you've ever been around children, if you've ever had children of your own especially,
00:07:04.100 you'll know that kids are like little sponges.
00:07:05.920 Every word you say, they're going to start copying.
00:07:08.020 Every little behavior that you do, even every unconscious behavior,
00:07:12.020 you move your eyebrow in a certain way, you walk in a certain way, they're going to copy that.
00:07:16.240 We are mimetic, and we are mimetic when it comes to our desires as well.
00:07:21.320 I mentioned this on the show yesterday in a different context.
00:07:23.900 The reason people want the Rolex watch is not because they know anything about how the watch works.
00:07:28.080 It's not because they know anything really about the history of the company or the mechanics of watch gears.
00:07:35.920 It's because other people want the Rolex watch.
00:07:39.560 Other people who they admire and respect like the Rolex watch, so they want it too.
00:07:43.580 The reason you want your neighbor's wife is not because she's Helen of Troy. 0.63
00:07:46.320 It's not because she's the hottest woman ever.
00:07:47.840 It's because your neighbor wants her. 0.94
00:07:49.780 And so our desire, not only do we mimic the speech and behavior of others, we even mimic their desires.
00:07:58.320 So the way that a kid becomes his true self is not just by, is not, certainly not by peeling away the layers of learned behavior.
00:08:07.020 It's by acculturating him.
00:08:10.540 The way he becomes his true self is by educating him.
00:08:13.220 It's by how he's raised.
00:08:14.360 So if a kid is raised by a lumberjack and his traditional wife in the mountains of who knows where, somewhere in the western United States,
00:08:27.920 and they've got really traditional values, and the dad goes out and chops wood, and the mom churns butter, and I don't know,
00:08:34.320 I'm probably getting into some kind of fairy tale fable of a traditional life.
00:08:37.980 But that kid is going to be more likely to go chop wood, or if it's a girl, more likely to churn butter. 0.99
00:08:44.240 And if a child is raised by a couple of homosexual men who purchased the child from scientists and impoverished women in the third world through IVF and surrogacy, 0.91
00:08:56.600 then that kid is more likely to mimic their behavior.
00:08:59.240 And if a kid is raised to be told that it is oppressive for a boy to play with G.I. Joe,
00:09:05.400 and it's wonderful and liberating for a boy to wear a tutu and dance for the pleasure of his father's, quote-unquote,
00:09:10.380 then he's going to do that, too.
00:09:11.640 And if a kid is raised watching that absolutely degenerate cartoon,
00:09:16.580 then the kid is more likely to mimic those behaviors as well.
00:09:20.800 We think of this in a really visceral way, and we say, you are what you eat.
00:09:24.780 If you eat a lot of bad food, you're going to feel bad.
00:09:28.400 If you're just eating fast food all the time, you're going to get overweight and bloated,
00:09:31.980 and you're just going to feel lethargic and bad.
00:09:34.600 Well, the same is true. 0.65
00:09:36.040 It's especially true when it comes to our minds and our souls.
00:09:39.160 The more bad stuff we take in, the worse we're going to feel.
00:09:42.900 The more it's going to twist our desires and our sense of identity,
00:09:46.060 and ultimately our soul is what we're really talking about.
00:09:48.840 And this is quite clear when we talk about porn on the Internet.
00:09:54.260 That's probably clearest when we talk about porn.
00:09:56.260 It's even worse than Cocomelon.
00:09:58.720 And we had Arden Young, a young journalist on,
00:10:02.100 who had conducted an investigation through sound investigations of Pornhub a couple of weeks ago.
00:10:06.620 Well, she's got more to her investigation now.
00:10:08.660 She went undercover and spoke to not just the senior writers at the parent company of Pornhub,
00:10:16.060 which is who she nabbed previously, 0.89
00:10:18.560 but now she's speaking to a technical product manager at this company.
00:10:22.020 The company was called MindGeek,
00:10:24.600 but of course the company is just so disreputable,
00:10:26.860 so despicable,
00:10:27.720 that they have to keep changing their name
00:10:29.440 because, like the euphemism treadmill,
00:10:33.640 bad connotations just glom on naturally to whatever this company is called.
00:10:37.800 So it used to be called,
00:10:38.640 the company itself is called Pornhub,
00:10:40.940 and there are other related porn sites.
00:10:42.920 The parent company was called MindGeek.
00:10:45.200 Now I think it's called A-Lo,
00:10:46.640 but here we have Mike Farley,
00:10:48.960 technical product manager at MindGeek,
00:10:51.060 according to his social media.
00:10:52.540 And unlike the previous senior staff at Pornhub's parent company that Arden interviewed,
00:10:58.860 this guy is not totally gung-ho on the product.
00:11:02.020 He actually expresses some real reservations about it.
00:11:05.480 So many people portray porn as like liberating.
00:11:10.180 Liberating?
00:11:11.540 I don't know.
00:11:12.520 I think it's just the easy way out.
00:11:14.220 I just think you're taking the easy way out.
00:11:18.280 And like,
00:11:18.840 I don't think anybody like watches porn and then like feels good about themselves.
00:11:22.980 It's not really something that you're just like,
00:11:25.660 yeah,
00:11:25.960 I'm the man.
00:11:27.340 Like it's not,
00:11:29.100 it's like,
00:11:30.000 it's like ecstasy to like,
00:11:31.960 what the f*** am I doing?
00:11:33.460 It's like an addiction.
00:11:35.620 Well,
00:11:36.020 I definitely think porn addiction is going to be.
00:11:38.580 That's for sure.
00:11:40.500 But yeah,
00:11:41.080 I don't know.
00:11:41.840 I don't think it's like a positive thing in general.
00:11:44.220 Even like Jordan Peterson,
00:11:45.500 I know that he says like,
00:11:47.580 there's not many studies on it.
00:11:51.820 There's not a lot of like,
00:11:53.000 we don't really know the implications.
00:11:56.140 You've seen like thousands of the hottest girls on earth naked, right? 1.00
00:12:01.520 Like in your brain,
00:12:02.400 like your brain thinks you've seen them in person.
00:12:04.560 Like there's no difference, right?
00:12:06.120 Like visually you saw it.
00:12:07.460 And I think like that,
00:12:10.480 there's no way that that's like,
00:12:12.120 I can't be normal.
00:12:13.420 I can't be healthy.
00:12:14.020 I like this guy.
00:12:16.740 I guess maybe the reason he's got a more normal and reasonable perspective on this
00:12:20.980 is he's not one of the writers.
00:12:22.980 Unlike those other two guys who said,
00:12:24.300 yeah,
00:12:24.540 we're trying to slip in all sorts of weird,
00:12:27.800 especially deviant stuff into the so-called straight porn.
00:12:31.180 And then that way we're going to convert the customer to a new product.
00:12:35.680 Those guys truly just seem like demons.
00:12:40.900 This guy doesn't seem like a demon.
00:12:42.720 He's working for a very,
00:12:44.140 very evil company,
00:12:45.400 but he's the technical product manager.
00:12:48.040 He strikes me as just a normal tech guy,
00:12:49.800 right?
00:12:50.440 And I guess he,
00:12:51.420 maybe he didn't get a job at Boeing or something.
00:12:54.680 He didn't,
00:12:55.120 he didn't get a job at NASA.
00:12:56.280 So,
00:12:56.460 okay,
00:12:56.540 he's going to take the job at the porn company,
00:12:57.820 but at least he gets it.
00:12:59.760 Everything that guy just said is totally true,
00:13:01.860 which leads me to an important rule for life.
00:13:07.900 He mentioned Jordan Peterson.
00:13:08.800 I've got it.
00:13:09.300 I've got a rule for life.
00:13:10.760 This is the 13th rule for life.
00:13:12.200 We'll get to it in one second.
00:13:12.940 First though,
00:13:13.740 when you want access to a good technological platform that can help you have a good relation
00:13:19.380 with the opposite sex,
00:13:20.060 you ought to check out Hire Bond.
00:13:21.500 Right now,
00:13:21.880 go to hirebond.com.
00:13:23.180 If you are single,
00:13:24.200 you've probably seen or heard about all the insane dating apps out there.
00:13:27.600 But what if I told you there was a dating app that actually cared about your morals,
00:13:31.580 your biblical values?
00:13:33.200 Hire Bond is the new Christian dating app built to be safer,
00:13:36.600 less stressful,
00:13:37.340 and more Christ-centered.
00:13:39.600 Hire Bond is completely different than anything else out there.
00:13:42.360 There's no addictive swiping.
00:13:43.940 The focus is truly on quality over quantity.
00:13:46.520 It is designed to form lasting marriages.
00:13:48.640 Hire Bond is veteran-owned by a husband and wife looking to change the way Christian singles 1.00
00:13:52.920 meet online.
00:13:54.060 It's no secret that left-wing media and big tech are against companies like Hire Bond.
00:13:58.660 In fact,
00:13:59.060 one of the major tech companies is preventing Hire Bond from running ads on their platform.
00:14:03.620 Their ad team took a screenshot of Hire Bond's website,
00:14:06.680 highlighted the parts that said Christian in yellow,
00:14:09.620 and said,
00:14:10.280 this is why we're not going to run your ads.
00:14:13.160 It's almost unbelievable,
00:14:14.800 except we see these kinds of things so often now.
00:14:17.340 Our society,
00:14:18.300 our country,

00:14:31.680 New rule for life just dropped,
00:14:33.060 brought to you by the technical product manager at MindGeek,
00:14:37.000 Pornhub's parent company,
00:14:37.940 Mike Farley.
00:14:38.740 And the rule is this.
00:14:42.340 Don't let your behavior stop you from acknowledging the truth.
00:14:47.480 Don't become a captive to your own bad behavior.
00:14:51.740 This guy,
00:14:52.920 unlike the other staff at Pornhub who Arden interviewed undercover,
00:14:58.360 this guy is clearly struggling with the immorality of his job.
00:15:01.640 This guy clearly recognizes something is wrong with this company,
00:15:05.460 with our modern culture.
00:15:06.780 He listens to Jordan Peterson,
00:15:07.900 for goodness sake,
00:15:08.460 okay?
00:15:08.780 He's obviously in some way on the right track,
00:15:11.540 but he still works for this big porn company.
00:15:13.260 He's helping to promote something that's very evil,
00:15:14.860 and that according to his own admission is not healthy for people.
00:15:18.820 So what's he going to do?
00:15:19.900 What a lot of people do,
00:15:21.100 this to some degree describes all of us.
00:15:25.340 We know that there's a right thing to do,
00:15:27.240 but we do the wrong thing.
00:15:30.640 What do we do in that circumstance?
00:15:33.440 Well,
00:15:33.660 we only have two options.
00:15:35.320 We can either admit that what we're doing is wrong
00:15:39.220 and feel some degree of shame
00:15:41.780 and either live in that shame as hypocrites
00:15:45.140 or try to better ourselves
00:15:46.780 and try to improve even though we're going to stumble,
00:15:48.960 or we can deny the truth that we know
00:15:51.720 in favor of the behavior.
00:15:54.340 And most people,
00:15:55.560 I think,
00:15:56.100 most people here,
00:15:57.960 maybe not here,
00:15:59.020 not in the creme de la creme Michael Knowles show audience,
00:16:01.160 but most people in general will do the latter.
00:16:03.680 If they're doing a behavior that they come to realize
00:16:07.400 is wrong or immoral,
00:16:09.600 not healthy,
00:16:10.920 they will deny the truth
00:16:14.060 that they have reasonably arrived at
00:16:16.280 in order to justify the behavior.
00:16:18.920 And in part,
00:16:19.740 some of the reason they'll do that is they'll say,
00:16:20.820 well,
00:16:22.100 if I acknowledge,
00:16:23.380 I,
00:16:24.560 someone working for a porn company,
00:16:26.720 if I acknowledge that porn is bad,
00:16:30.020 then I would be a hypocrite
00:16:31.620 or I'd have to quit my job
00:16:33.800 and I can't quit my job.
00:16:34.860 I got a mortgage payment,
00:16:35.940 you know,
00:16:36.320 and I can look,
00:16:36.840 it's a complicated world.
00:16:38.460 It's not black and white.
00:16:39.520 There's all sorts of shades of gray in the middle.
00:16:41.220 Come on,
00:16:41.840 man.
00:16:42.760 I look,
00:16:43.360 it's maybe it's not the hell,
00:16:44.480 but I,
00:16:44.940 Hey,
00:16:45.300 anyway,
00:16:45.620 all that moral philosophies
00:16:47.340 and that's above my pay grade.
00:16:48.700 I'm just going to go out and get my bag,
00:16:50.820 you know,
00:16:51.120 make some money
00:16:51.860 and we'll worry about that.
00:16:53.600 And it's not that bad,
00:16:54.460 right?
00:16:54.980 That's,
00:16:55.300 that's what most people do.
00:16:56.740 And who am I to lecture people on this?
00:16:59.600 I am working at a porn company.
00:17:01.620 And I can't be that bad.
00:17:03.180 Therefore,
00:17:03.660 no,
00:17:04.320 the good thing to do though,
00:17:06.100 the right thing to do is when your reason has arrived at something,
00:17:09.080 at a conclusion,
00:17:09.760 that's obviously true.
00:17:10.700 And your behavior doesn't jibe with that.
00:17:15.400 Even if you can't change the behavior yet,
00:17:17.720 even if you're just so habituated to this behavior that you,
00:17:21.000 you can't,
00:17:21.660 you feel totally powerless to change it.
00:17:23.520 At least acknowledge the truth.
00:17:26.080 Don't deny the truth to justify your own bad behavior.
00:17:28.580 At least acknowledge the truth.
00:17:29.560 And simply by acknowledging the truth,
00:17:32.060 you will begin to start to turn those wheels to,
00:17:36.780 of your desire to start to maybe kind of make a change in your behavior.
00:17:42.300 That guy could probably do it.
00:17:44.520 For most of these guys,
00:17:46.300 you feel,
00:17:47.180 you feel kind of bad for them that they're getting caught on camera and they're
00:17:50.020 going to lose their jobs.
00:17:50.980 And for,
00:17:51.180 but you don't really feel that bad for them because they're doing terrible
00:17:53.200 things.
00:17:53.660 And for this guy though,
00:17:55.500 I'm glad he's going to lose his job because he wants to lose his job on some
00:17:59.100 degree,
00:17:59.780 on some level rather.
00:18:01.340 He,
00:18:01.600 he wants to,
00:18:02.180 he knows it's bad.
00:18:03.000 He knows it's not healthy.
00:18:04.240 He's a tech guy.
00:18:05.020 I'm sure he can get another job somewhere else.
00:18:08.180 He could do it.
00:18:09.160 Good.
00:18:09.500 I hope he loses his job.
00:18:10.340 It'd be good for him.
00:18:11.720 I don't hope he loses his job because I think he's a bad guy.
00:18:13.780 I think he's kind of a good guy.
00:18:16.500 Glad he got caught.
00:18:17.740 Now you are seeing a principle,
00:18:21.040 a version of this principle applied in the presidential race.
00:18:25.660 There are a lot of people who hate Donald Trump.
00:18:27.420 Shocking to hear.
00:18:28.040 I know there are a lot of people,
00:18:30.100 even in the Republican party,
00:18:31.240 you hate Donald Trump.
00:18:31.880 There are a lot of people who worked for Donald Trump who hate Donald Trump.
00:18:34.620 And still when Colorado Supreme court came out and said,
00:18:38.600 Trump cannot appear on the ballot because we are going to,
00:18:42.000 in an unprecedented way,
00:18:43.060 radically reinterpret a civil war era,
00:18:46.160 a provision of the constitution designed to stop Confederate generals from
00:18:50.440 taking over the government.
00:18:52.140 And we're going to interpret that to say that the mean orange man from New 0.62
00:18:54.620 York can't be president again.
00:18:57.180 Even Bill Barr,
00:18:58.140 former Trump attorney general who has been a huge Trump critic came out and
00:19:02.180 said it's totally bogus.
00:19:03.780 As you know,
00:19:04.300 I strongly oppose Donald Trump for the Republican nomination,
00:19:07.820 but I think that this case is legally wrong and untenable.
00:19:12.520 And I think this kind of action of stretching the law,
00:19:16.560 taking these hyper-aggressive positions to try to knock Trump out of the race are
00:19:22.400 counterproductive.
00:19:23.300 They backfire.
00:19:24.120 As you know,
00:19:25.740 he feeds on grievance,
00:19:28.720 just like a fire feeds on oxygen.
00:19:30.720 And this is going to end up as a grievance that helps them.
00:19:34.000 To deprive somebody of the right to hold public office requires due process.
00:19:40.000 It requires an adjudication of two core issues.
00:19:43.320 One,
00:19:43.620 was there an insurrection?
00:19:45.800 Did the public disturbance rise to the level of an insurrection?
00:19:49.900 And second,
00:19:51.000 what was the role of the individual in there?
00:19:53.860 Was it engagement?
00:19:55.320 Did they do something to break their oath of office?
00:19:57.700 Those are complicated facts.
00:20:01.040 And this was denied due process.
00:20:03.940 It was a five-day hearing.
00:20:06.920 There was no jury.
00:20:08.200 It was before the judge.
00:20:09.820 I think if they take it up,
00:20:10.880 they're going to slap it down very quickly.
00:20:12.500 And I hope they do take it up quickly and slap it down,
00:20:15.100 because otherwise he could be left off the ballot in this primary.
00:20:19.820 So Barr,
00:20:20.780 absolutely,
00:20:21.440 totally right here.
00:20:21.980 Barr's not the only one.
00:20:22.780 John Bolton,
00:20:23.360 former national security advisor to Donald Trump.
00:20:25.420 Bolton has been a huge Trump critic of late.
00:20:28.460 He's certainly not going to support Trump in 2024.
00:20:32.200 John Bolton,
00:20:32.860 same thing,
00:20:33.400 very serious lawyer,
00:20:36.180 educated man,
00:20:37.160 Washington operator.
00:20:38.160 He says this Colorado ruling,
00:20:39.920 completely nuts.
00:20:41.220 I think it's completely misplaced.
00:20:42.820 I think this Colorado Supreme Court decision is badly wrong for multiple reasons.
00:20:48.160 Number one,
00:20:48.860 the 14th Amendment provides that Congress can pass legislation to carry its provisions into effect,
00:20:55.680 which Congress has done on many aspects.
00:20:58.160 It has not put anything with respect to Section 3 on the books since just after the Civil War.
00:21:04.200 Second,
00:21:05.360 the idea that 50 different state courts can decide a question involving the highest elective office in the executive branch interpreting the federal constitution as to what constitutes an insurrection against the federal government is incoherent.
00:21:24.000 And I think undoubtedly the Supreme Court's going to have to clear that up.
00:21:27.920 I'd be willing to bet a small amount of money here that the Supreme Court,
00:21:32.040 if it gets to the merits of this,
00:21:33.860 if it has to,
00:21:35.060 will reverse.
00:21:36.040 There's no other logical way you can apply this,
00:21:39.860 and it would sow chaos in elections as far as the eye could see.
00:21:43.780 Colorado Supreme Court has done something that I didn't think possible.
00:21:48.580 The Colorado Supreme Court has gotten Bill Barr and John Bolton to support Donald Trump again.
00:21:53.580 Not to support him.
00:21:54.460 They still don't like him.
00:21:55.160 They don't want to be president again.
00:21:57.100 But to be on his side of this argument.
00:21:59.000 I think the Colorado Supreme Court has united the Republican Party here.
00:22:02.500 No Republican,
00:22:03.960 other than the most absurd
00:22:05.800 shill for the Democrats,
00:22:08.900 you know,
00:22:09.320 court jester conservative types like Liz Cheney.
00:22:11.640 I haven't even heard her opine on this.
00:22:13.040 Nobody seriously can argue this is a coherent decision.
00:22:19.080 We've got to protect ourselves.
00:22:20.120 You've got to protect our country.

00:23:39.000 is indoctrinating your kids with radical left-wing propaganda.
00:23:41.880 You may have heard me say that earlier in this show.
00:23:43.420 It's only getting worse.
00:23:44.300 The New York Times attacked our Bent Key show,
00:23:46.600 Chip Chela for having a, quote,
00:23:47.960 weirdly present father who teaches, quote,
00:23:49.820 lessons about dead white people.
00:23:51.440 Those dead white people include
00:23:52.680 George Washington, Neil Armstrong,
00:23:54.140 and Benjamin Franklin.
00:23:56.100 Coco Mellon, obviously,
00:23:57.340 it's got a bazillion views on YouTube.
00:23:59.260 They're introducing multiple dads
00:24:02.360 and encouraging their kid to wear tutus
00:24:04.160 and dance around for them.
00:24:05.740 Peppa Pig, Blue's Clues, Muppet Babies,
00:24:07.740 and more continue to aggressively push
00:24:09.780 radical leftist propaganda onto our children.

00:24:57.260 Bill Barr and John Bolton
00:24:59.720 don't like Trump,
00:25:02.340 but they're coming to his defense.
00:25:03.640 What are the candidates doing
00:25:04.960 in the 2024 presidential primary?
00:25:07.020 Vivek Ramaswamy has just pledged
00:25:09.020 that if this decision is not reversed,
00:25:11.120 he will pull his name off the ballot
00:25:12.820 in Colorado as well.
00:25:13.940 They have just tried to bar President Trump
00:25:16.800 from the Colorado ballot
00:25:18.060 using an unconstitutional maneuver
00:25:19.820 that is a bastardization
00:25:21.120 of the 14th Amendment
00:25:22.560 to our U.S. Constitution.
00:25:24.500 This was a provision,
00:25:25.440 Section 3,
00:25:25.960 that was designed
00:25:26.520 to bar Confederate members.
00:25:28.440 People switched to the Confederacy
00:25:29.840 from actually being able to serve.
00:25:32.100 That's very different
00:25:33.060 than what's at issue here,
00:25:34.200 to say the least.
00:25:35.100 This is a hollowed-out husk
00:25:37.380 of what the country was built on.
00:25:39.280 The basic principle
00:25:40.220 that we the people
00:25:41.160 select our leadership,
00:25:42.440 not the unelected elite class
00:25:44.960 in the back of palace halls.
00:25:46.680 That's old world Europe, 1.00
00:25:48.100 not the United States.
00:25:49.620 That's why I'm making a pledge today
00:25:51.540 that I will withdraw,
00:25:53.980 I pledge to withdraw
00:25:55.320 from the Colorado GOP primary ballot
00:25:58.440 unless and until Trump's name
00:26:00.600 is restored.
00:26:01.300 And I demand that Ron DeSantis
00:26:04.000 and Chris Christie
00:26:05.200 and Nikki Haley
00:26:05.960 do the same thing,
00:26:07.160 or else these Republicans
00:26:08.320 are simply complicit
00:26:09.840 in this unconstitutional attack
00:26:12.360 on the way we conduct
00:26:13.960 our constitutional republic.
00:26:16.600 Very clever political maneuver
00:26:18.960 because it puts the other GOP candidates
00:26:22.300 on defense.
00:26:23.500 And I don't think this is just
00:26:25.040 a cynical ploy.
00:26:25.860 I think it's an admirable thing to do.
00:26:28.480 I think that we cannot allow
00:26:31.280 the Democrats
00:26:31.900 to decide who the GOP nominee is.
00:26:36.240 I think we cannot allow
00:26:38.120 elected and appointed officials
00:26:41.120 in the states who are big libs
00:26:43.600 to so subvert our sacred democracy
00:26:47.540 that we hear so much about
00:26:48.580 that they prevent people
00:26:50.340 from voting for the popular candidate
00:26:52.180 for president.
00:26:53.920 I think it's admirable.
00:26:55.840 It would send a strong message.
00:26:56.960 I've heard some conservatives say
00:26:58.080 that it would be completely
00:26:59.540 self-undermining
00:27:01.300 for the other GOP candidates
00:27:03.300 to pull off the ballot
00:27:04.060 in the Colorado primary.
00:27:05.280 I don't understand that.
00:27:06.740 I think it would be
00:27:07.240 a very strong statement
00:27:09.240 of Republican unity
00:27:10.820 to say,
00:27:12.400 first of all,
00:27:12.780 Colorado is not going to choose
00:27:13.780 the GOP nominee.
00:27:14.980 Colorado primary is not
00:27:16.120 for a very long time.
00:27:17.160 It's not going to be decisive.
00:27:18.420 And it sends a statement to say,
00:27:19.820 this is a bogus process.
00:27:22.700 This is a banana republic 0.61
00:27:23.920 kind of maneuver here.
00:27:24.920 And we are not going to dignify it
00:27:26.860 with our presence on the ballots.
00:27:29.500 Won't matter.
00:27:30.220 Now, a lot of the candidates
00:27:31.080 don't want to do that
00:27:32.220 because they want as many delegates
00:27:34.080 as they can possibly get
00:27:34.900 to try to make some kind
00:27:35.720 of challenge to Trump,
00:27:36.540 which seems totally implausible
00:27:38.080 at this point.
00:27:39.340 Trump continues to totally
00:27:40.840 dominate the field everywhere,
00:27:42.620 throughout the entire country,
00:27:43.560 in every state.
00:27:44.580 So it's not a huge cost
00:27:47.020 to the candidates,
00:27:47.900 other than it's an acknowledgement
00:27:49.360 that Trump is the presumptive nominee.
00:27:51.240 A lot of them don't want
00:27:52.040 to make that acknowledgement.
00:27:53.660 But I think it would be
00:27:54.420 a very strong political maneuver
00:27:56.080 for Republicans to do this,
00:27:57.620 to pull off of the ballot
00:27:58.760 and to say, no.
00:28:02.280 Yes, we're going to lose
00:28:03.200 some delegates, I guess.
00:28:05.080 It's relatively low cost
00:28:06.340 because it's Colorado.
00:28:07.140 But more importantly,
00:28:07.800 we're going to send a message.
00:28:09.000 This election process
00:28:10.160 is being rigged by the Democrats.
00:28:12.560 This is a fake election process.
00:28:14.820 You guys are rigging it
00:28:16.500 in such a way
00:28:17.120 that the popular candidate
00:28:18.380 will not be able to garner
00:28:19.780 the votes of the people
00:28:21.000 who want to vote for him.
00:28:21.960 This is bogus.
00:28:23.360 We will not go along with it.
00:28:26.020 And I think the Republicans
00:28:27.420 who leave their names on the ballot
00:28:28.740 are going to be sending
00:28:30.080 the opposite message.
00:28:31.020 They're going to say, well,
00:28:31.940 you know, too bad for you, Trump.
00:28:33.960 Hey, Democrats,
00:28:34.600 please let me stick around.
00:28:35.600 I'll be nice.
00:28:37.020 It's very strong,
00:28:38.040 very strong move.
00:28:38.760 Now, Ron DeSantis
00:28:40.720 gives a good argument
00:28:41.700 in the opposite direction.
00:28:43.680 Fellow GOP 2024
00:28:44.920 presidential candidate
00:28:45.940 Vivek Ramaswamy
00:28:46.780 saying he will remove himself
00:28:48.380 from the Colorado ballot
00:28:49.700 unless Trump's eligibility
00:28:51.340 is restored.
00:28:52.500 Would you do the same?
00:28:53.960 No, I think that's just
00:28:54.880 playing into the left.
00:28:56.300 I think the case
00:28:57.380 will get overturned
00:28:58.200 by the Supreme Court,
00:28:59.300 but I've qualified
00:29:00.280 for all the ballots.
00:29:01.440 I'm competing in all the states
00:29:02.900 and I'm going to accumulate
00:29:04.100 the delegates necessary.
00:29:05.440 That's the whole name
00:29:06.100 of the game in this situation.
00:29:07.320 But I do anticipate
00:29:08.520 that that decision
00:29:09.700 was political
00:29:10.600 and will get reversed.
00:29:11.500 So that last part there,
00:29:13.200 DeSantis is 100% right.
00:29:16.540 If I were a gambling man,
00:29:18.480 which I'm not,
00:29:19.260 but if I were a gambling man,
00:29:20.480 I would put money
00:29:21.200 on the Supreme Court
00:29:22.000 overruling this decision.
00:29:23.140 It's just preposterous.
00:29:24.340 It's a preposterous decision.
00:29:26.320 So what DeSantis is saying
00:29:27.760 is hold on.
00:29:28.360 I'm not going to pull my name
00:29:30.120 off the ballot in Colorado
00:29:31.160 and then this decision
00:29:32.460 gets reversed
00:29:32.900 by the Supreme Court
00:29:33.740 and then Trump's on the ballot
00:29:34.760 and I'm not.
00:29:35.320 I'm not going to do that.
00:29:36.160 That's crazy.
00:29:36.780 Why would I ever do that?
00:29:39.280 Fair enough reasoning.
00:29:40.440 I think the reasoning there
00:29:41.440 is tight.
00:29:44.340 But DeSantis' stance
00:29:45.920 looks bad politically.
00:29:47.720 Even the way he's saying it
00:29:48.700 looks bad.
00:29:49.680 He looks defensive.
00:29:51.020 He looks irritated.
00:29:52.360 He looks peeved.
00:29:53.180 He goes, no, I'm not.
00:29:53.860 Come on.
00:29:54.540 No, I'm not doing that.
00:29:56.240 I'm going to be,
00:29:56.780 I've qualified for the ballots.
00:29:57.880 I'm going to be on the ballots.
00:29:58.940 No.
00:29:59.780 And it's going to get overturned anyway.
00:30:01.040 It's not that big a deal.
00:30:01.820 Come on, move along, move along.
00:30:03.180 It doesn't look good.
00:30:03.900 It is a big deal.
00:30:05.260 Even if it does get overturned,
00:30:06.440 and I agree,
00:30:06.860 it probably will be overturned.
00:30:08.000 It's a big deal
00:30:08.820 that the Democrats
00:30:09.700 are using
00:30:10.520 their political power,
00:30:12.260 their power in elected
00:30:13.600 and appointed office
00:30:14.660 to totally subvert
00:30:16.740 our democracy,
00:30:17.640 which they purport
00:30:18.260 to love so much,
00:30:19.800 to prohibit people
00:30:21.620 from voting on a ballot
00:30:23.060 for the popular candidate
00:30:24.860 who happens to be
00:30:25.880 a former president,
00:30:26.680 who happens to be
00:30:27.480 the frontrunner
00:30:28.100 in the GOP field
00:30:28.840 by a country mile.
00:30:29.740 That's a big deal.
00:30:31.260 We haven't seen that
00:30:32.060 ever, actually.
00:30:34.020 But they're going to reinterpret
00:30:35.280 a post-Civil War provision
00:30:37.880 of the Constitution
00:30:38.680 intended to stop Confederates
00:30:40.060 from taking over the government
00:30:41.080 150 years later
00:30:42.900 to stop the mean orange man
00:30:44.820 from being on the ballot.
00:30:45.600 That's a big deal, okay?
00:30:47.660 And to downplay that,
00:30:48.900 to undermine it,
00:30:49.500 it looks like you're fine
00:30:50.320 with this rigging.
00:30:52.020 It looks like you're fine
00:30:52.820 with this fraudulent
00:30:53.860 electoral system.
00:30:55.480 And this has been a problem
00:30:58.560 with the DeSantis campaign
00:30:59.680 from day one,
00:31:00.600 which is that
00:31:01.740 the guy is super smart.
00:31:03.320 The guy is super effective.
00:31:04.800 The guy is very admirable
00:31:06.420 in so many ways.
00:31:07.940 But he just doesn't seem
00:31:11.700 to have the pizzazz
00:31:13.900 on the campaign trail
00:31:15.000 to communicate that.
00:31:16.820 He has what George Will
00:31:18.140 once referred to
00:31:19.040 as the charisma of competence.
00:31:22.540 He is.
00:31:23.360 He's very competent in office.
00:31:24.800 But you also need
00:31:25.760 the charisma of charisma
00:31:26.780 when you're on the trail.
00:31:27.820 And you also need
00:31:28.520 to be able to speak
00:31:29.220 to broader political movements
00:31:31.800 and issues.
00:31:32.560 It's not just nuts and bolts wonkery.
00:31:34.520 It's not just going in there
00:31:36.380 and unclogging the pipes
00:31:37.740 if you're a plumber.
00:31:38.980 There needs to be
00:31:39.820 a broader political vision
00:31:41.120 if you're going to lead
00:31:41.820 a broader political movement.
00:31:43.460 And Vivek is seizing
00:31:44.360 on that right now.
00:31:45.640 I'm not suggesting
00:31:46.400 it's going to boost his numbers
00:31:47.580 above DeSantis
00:31:48.200 or anything like that.
00:31:49.320 But I just think Vivek
00:31:51.500 understands the significance
00:31:52.760 of that moment.
00:31:53.540 And he is capitalizing on it
00:31:55.320 much more than DeSantis is.
00:31:57.820 Even if his reasoning
00:31:58.860 on the court process
00:32:01.340 and how the ballot
00:32:03.200 is ultimately going to look
00:32:04.120 is totally sound.
00:32:06.780 Now, you know one thing
00:32:08.860 that unites Vivek
00:32:10.260 and Ron DeSantis?
00:32:13.560 There's a few things.
00:32:14.680 They're Republicans.
00:32:15.540 They're guys.
00:32:16.260 They're running for president.
00:32:17.320 They're both graduates
00:32:18.300 of Harvard University.
00:32:20.400 Vivek, a Harvard undergrad.
00:32:21.900 Actually, they're both
00:32:23.420 graduates of Yale, too.
00:32:24.780 Vivek was Harvard undergrad
00:32:26.060 and Yale law school.
00:32:27.880 And Ron DeSantis
00:32:29.060 was Yale undergrad
00:32:30.340 and Harvard law school.
00:32:31.460 It's kind of weird.
00:32:32.380 And so they both, I guess,
00:32:34.240 will have a bit of shame
00:32:35.400 at the president
00:32:37.420 of one of their institutions,
00:32:40.980 Harvard, under fire
00:32:43.000 because their president,
00:32:45.200 Claudine Gay,
00:32:46.160 defended calls for genocide
00:32:50.220 against the Jews 0.99
00:32:51.000 is requiring a little bit
00:32:52.220 of context, you know.
00:32:53.420 I'm not quite sure
00:32:54.560 if it's harassment.
00:32:55.480 And also then she was caught
00:32:56.880 plagiarizing, I guess,
00:32:58.620 basically everything
00:32:59.300 she's ever written,
00:33:00.500 including thank you notes
00:33:01.460 for Christmas gifts.
00:33:02.320 You know, she's just
00:33:02.960 plagiarized everything.
00:33:04.960 And now we found out
00:33:07.040 that the Harvard president
00:33:08.020 once created a, quote,
00:33:11.540 task force on visual culture
00:33:14.120 and signage
00:33:14.660 to make white men 0.52
00:33:15.580 less visible at Harvard.
00:33:16.860 We found this out
00:33:17.360 thanks to Chris Rufo,
00:33:18.720 who is on a jihad
00:33:20.880 against Claudine Gay
00:33:22.100 and might still
00:33:23.180 end up getting her fired. 1.00
00:33:25.580 He pointed out
00:33:26.460 that after the George Floyd riots,
00:33:28.300 during the George Floyd riots,
00:33:30.080 Gay commissioned 1.00
00:33:30.880 this task force
00:33:31.920 that released a series
00:33:32.900 of recommendations
00:33:33.540 for engaging with the,
00:33:35.460 quote, historical reckoning
00:33:36.700 with racial injustice.
00:33:38.320 And the recommendations
00:33:39.320 included a mandate
00:33:40.060 to change, quote,
00:33:41.120 spaces whose visual culture
00:33:43.140 is dominated
00:33:44.440 by homogenous portraiture
00:33:46.720 of white men.
00:33:47.720 Homogenous. 0.95
00:33:48.120 You know, all those white guys 0.97
00:33:48.820 look the same.
00:33:50.380 You know, you know how
00:33:50.900 all those black guys
00:33:51.560 look the same?
00:33:52.080 Oh, hold on.
00:33:52.480 You're not allowed to say that.
00:33:53.420 Oh, man, that'd be,
00:33:54.240 you'd be totally canceled
00:33:55.240 if you said that.
00:33:55.980 But now you know,
00:33:56.400 those white guys,
00:33:57.020 they're all just,
00:33:57.520 you know,
00:33:57.740 just stupid, evil white guys.
00:33:59.140 I hate them.
00:33:59.840 They're the worst, aren't they?
00:34:01.360 I hate those white guys.
00:34:03.060 Well, anyway,
00:34:03.600 that's what the Harvard
00:34:04.200 president thinks.
00:34:04.800 She said we need to get rid
00:34:05.700 of all these pictures
00:34:06.340 of white men.
00:34:07.920 She said that administrators 0.97
00:34:09.220 needed to refresh
00:34:10.400 the walls of Annenberg Hall
00:34:12.180 because it, quote,
00:34:14.180 prominently displayed
00:34:15.200 a series of 23 portraits,
00:34:16.800 none of which depict women
00:34:18.260 and all but three of which
00:34:19.820 depict white men.
00:34:20.700 And we hate these white men.
00:34:22.500 It doesn't say
00:34:23.000 who the white men are.
00:34:24.820 So they usually leave out
00:34:25.920 who the white men are
00:34:26.620 because they're some
00:34:27.120 of the most accomplished
00:34:27.840 people ever in history.
00:34:28.860 That's why they have
00:34:29.240 their portraits on the wall.
00:34:30.400 But they don't want
00:34:31.000 to get into that.
00:34:31.600 They just say,
00:34:32.000 we hate whitey. 0.99
00:34:32.840 We hate the white guys.
00:34:33.740 Get rid of them.
00:34:34.820 We need to refresh things
00:34:35.960 because of these stale,
00:34:36.940 disgusting, awful white men. 0.72
00:34:38.380 This woman is awful. 1.00
00:34:39.800 This woman, Claudine Gay,
00:34:42.240 this president of Harvard,
00:34:43.680 is just cartoonishly awful.
00:34:46.180 She goes before Congress.
00:34:47.540 First of all,
00:34:48.460 there's the pogrom on Israel,
00:34:50.520 probably the largest pogrom ever,
00:34:53.160 certainly in recent history.
00:34:55.260 And Hamas runs in, 0.93
00:34:58.940 totally unexpected attack.
00:35:01.900 And her first response
00:35:03.560 is silence.
00:35:05.940 Her first response is,
00:35:06.840 while the Harvard students
00:35:07.780 are defending Hamas, 0.60
00:35:10.640 is silence.
00:35:11.460 Then, because of that,
00:35:12.740 she and the UPenn president
00:35:14.560 get dragged before Congress.
00:35:16.400 And she and the pen lady
00:35:17.420 both say that,
00:35:18.700 well, you know,
00:35:19.240 calls for genocide
00:35:20.100 against the Jews. 0.59
00:35:21.160 It doesn't necessarily
00:35:22.100 constitute harassment.
00:35:23.440 You know,
00:35:23.660 when you really think about it,
00:35:25.120 and this and that,
00:35:25.620 and this and that.
00:35:26.660 So the pen lady gets fired 1.00
00:35:27.920 because she's white. 1.00
00:35:29.300 And we hate white people.
00:35:31.080 Remember,
00:35:31.460 white people are evil. 0.96
00:35:32.120 They're terrible.
00:35:32.460 So she gets fired instantly.
00:35:34.000 Claudine Gay, though, 0.68
00:35:34.800 is not white.
00:35:35.540 She also hates white people,
00:35:37.180 apparently.
00:35:38.040 She wants to refresh society
00:35:39.840 by getting rid of the white people. 0.92
00:35:41.180 So she gets to stay in office 0.55
00:35:42.700 because if you fire her, 1.00
00:35:43.960 she would be,
00:35:45.240 you would be racist, rather.
00:35:48.420 But then we found,
00:35:49.840 on top of that,
00:35:50.620 thanks to Chris Rufo
00:35:51.300 and Aaron Saberiam,
00:35:52.080 the journalist,
00:35:52.840 that this woman
00:35:54.040 has plagiarized everything
00:35:55.440 from her doctoral dissertation
00:35:57.440 in school
00:35:58.060 to, I think she has a total
00:35:59.580 of 11 academic publications.
00:36:01.680 Actual scholars
00:36:04.060 have 11 academic publications
00:36:06.000 before they leave
00:36:06.760 graduate school.
00:36:08.220 Okay, but Claudine Gay, 0.99
00:36:09.380 who is manifestly
00:36:10.520 not an actual scholar,
00:36:12.400 has 11 total
00:36:13.560 in her entire career.
00:36:14.700 And she plagiarized those, 0.95
00:36:16.180 including the acknowledgements
00:36:18.220 in her academic publications,
00:36:20.480 such as they are.
00:36:22.140 So then they get her on that,
00:36:24.360 but they still don't want
00:36:25.080 to fire her 0.79
00:36:25.720 because it'd be racist
00:36:26.960 to fire her.
00:36:28.020 Go fire another Karen 0.98
00:36:29.040 at another Ivy League school,
00:36:30.080 but you can't fire Claudine Gay.
00:36:31.680 And now we find out
00:36:33.040 that she undertook
00:36:34.220 an active campaign
00:36:35.200 to get rid of the white guys 0.95
00:36:36.140 on campus.
00:36:37.320 Is it any wonder then,
00:36:39.600 the numbers are in,
00:36:40.480 numbers don't lie,
00:36:42.360 that Harvard's
00:36:43.280 early admission applications
00:36:44.840 have dropped
00:36:45.820 to a four-year low.
00:36:48.540 Harvard's early admission apps
00:36:49.920 are down 17%.
00:36:52.760 Now,
00:36:54.140 when you want to go
00:36:55.620 to an institution
00:36:56.680 known as a university
00:36:58.000 that will
00:36:59.380 actually teach you
00:37:00.860 true things,

00:38:13.320 My favorite comment yesterday
00:38:14.220 is from Razzle07,
00:38:15.680 who says,
00:38:17.200 Colorado citizens
00:38:17.880 should mask up
00:38:18.780 cases of Trump
00:38:19.740 derangement syndrome
00:38:20.460 or surging.
00:38:21.080 They are.
00:38:22.360 They are.
00:38:22.880 And you're going to need
00:38:23.420 to stay way more
00:38:24.500 than six feet away
00:38:25.280 from people.
00:38:25.980 It's extremely contagious.
00:38:30.320 Harvard having
00:38:31.160 real-time recruiting students.
00:38:33.540 It's weird, isn't it?
00:38:34.520 Harvard's supposed to be
00:38:35.660 one of,
00:38:37.100 if not the most
00:38:37.800 prestigious universities
00:38:38.640 in the country.
00:38:40.340 Four-year low,
00:38:41.320 17% down
00:38:42.360 on early admissions.
00:38:44.240 What's that about?
00:38:45.400 It can't be about
00:38:46.300 the plagiarism scandal,
00:38:47.660 actually,
00:38:48.300 because the deadline
00:38:50.080 for early action
00:38:51.220 was November 1st
00:38:52.620 and the plagiarism scandal
00:38:55.580 didn't break
00:38:56.020 until a couple weeks ago.
00:38:57.900 It can't be
00:38:59.200 even the congressional testimony.
00:39:01.460 The congressional testimony
00:39:02.400 was after
00:39:03.180 the deadline.
00:39:07.520 What it was, though,
00:39:08.680 I think,
00:39:09.160 was related to
00:39:10.520 the October 7th pogrom,
00:39:12.780 because
00:39:13.420 after that
00:39:15.760 attack,
00:39:17.200 you had all of the
00:39:18.740 Harvard groups,
00:39:19.980 something like two dozen
00:39:20.780 Harvard student groups,
00:39:22.200 voicing support for the
00:39:23.120 Palestine Liberation Movement
00:39:24.220 and for Hamas,
00:39:25.520 and that just doesn't look good.
00:39:26.800 It created a real wedge
00:39:28.260 in the Democrat Party.
00:39:29.680 The wedge being
00:39:30.720 that
00:39:31.660 elite Democrats,
00:39:33.340 older Democrats,
00:39:34.320 support Israel.
00:39:36.100 Younger Democrats,
00:39:37.360 activist Democrats,
00:39:38.500 support
00:39:38.960 Palestine Liberation.
00:39:40.640 There's not a lot of room
00:39:43.580 for reconciliation there.
00:39:44.760 That is a proper
00:39:45.640 wedge.
00:39:47.840 And
00:39:48.040 those
00:39:49.960 scandals,
00:39:51.400 especially now,
00:39:52.160 imagine if the
00:39:52.880 early application deadline
00:39:53.880 were later,
00:39:54.520 probably the drop
00:39:55.760 would be even more
00:39:56.320 significant.
00:39:57.340 Those scandals are
00:39:58.300 actually hurting
00:39:59.380 the university.
00:40:00.740 17% down
00:40:01.820 is
00:40:02.600 rough.
00:40:04.880 So what do we do?
00:40:06.400 I think we follow
00:40:07.020 Chris Ruffo's lead.
00:40:07.980 Chris Ruffo
00:40:08.700 is a very,
00:40:10.600 very effective
00:40:11.600 Gramscian 0.97
00:40:14.160 political activist.
00:40:15.820 Meaning,
00:40:16.600 he's a very smart guy.
00:40:18.560 He's a good think tank
00:40:19.300 scholar.
00:40:19.940 He's a good journalist.
00:40:20.800 But what he's really,
00:40:21.980 really good at
00:40:22.460 is
00:40:23.860 emulating
00:40:25.700 the tactics
00:40:26.600 of the political left,
00:40:28.700 the radicals,
00:40:29.520 Antonio Gramsci,
00:40:30.540 Herbert Marcuse,
00:40:31.460 the new left
00:40:32.040 of the 1960s.
00:40:32.900 He can emulate
00:40:33.920 their tactics
00:40:34.660 in a just way
00:40:36.720 for the principles
00:40:37.860 of the right.
00:40:38.480 And he's better
00:40:39.180 at doing that
00:40:39.740 than just about anybody.
00:40:40.940 There are very few
00:40:41.440 people who come 0.70
00:40:42.420 even close to
00:40:42.920 Chris Ruffo.
00:40:43.660 And that's what
00:40:44.120 he's doing here.
00:40:44.780 He's trying to get
00:40:45.460 the Harvard president.
00:40:46.460 And this is the kind
00:40:47.340 of specificity
00:40:48.040 that we need.
00:40:49.520 Okay?
00:40:50.120 We're not going to
00:40:50.860 take down every
00:40:51.360 university in the
00:40:52.000 United States.
00:40:52.680 The universities
00:40:53.200 are the epicenter
00:40:54.040 of leftist power.
00:40:55.240 The universities
00:40:55.780 are where
00:40:57.160 radical leftism
00:40:58.160 really came alive
00:40:59.640 in the 1960s.
00:41:01.380 They provide
00:41:02.720 the sinecures
00:41:03.440 for the radical
00:41:04.020 leftist activists.
00:41:04.960 The downstream
00:41:05.580 effects of that
00:41:06.240 are massive
00:41:07.200 because all
00:41:08.340 of the political
00:41:08.800 elites go to
00:41:09.420 these schools.
00:41:10.260 So it's huge.
00:41:11.520 And if we could
00:41:12.060 gut those universities,
00:41:13.900 they would be
00:41:14.260 the biggest power
00:41:15.020 grab by conservatives
00:41:15.840 in generations.
00:41:17.660 But we're not
00:41:18.160 going to get rid
00:41:18.840 of all of them
00:41:19.260 right away.
00:41:19.960 We're not going
00:41:20.780 to retake
00:41:21.520 those universities
00:41:22.080 right away.
00:41:23.500 We're not even
00:41:24.220 going to knock
00:41:25.680 the Ivy League
00:41:26.240 right away.
00:41:28.080 But we might
00:41:28.800 get Harvard.
00:41:29.940 We might just
00:41:31.060 get Harvard.
00:41:32.480 If we can just
00:41:33.640 persuade
00:41:34.320 enough students
00:41:35.860 not to apply
00:41:36.980 to Harvard
00:41:37.300 and maybe
00:41:38.280 they go to
00:41:38.620 Yale,
00:41:39.000 maybe they go
00:41:39.400 to Stanford,
00:41:40.180 maybe I get
00:41:40.720 kind of a kick
00:41:41.480 out of it even
00:41:41.880 though Yale
00:41:42.700 is extremely
00:41:43.200 left-wing too
00:41:43.920 and probably
00:41:44.580 wants to rescind
00:41:45.340 my degree
00:41:45.840 every day
00:41:46.380 of the week,
00:41:47.260 I kind of
00:41:48.160 get a kick
00:41:48.500 out of it
00:41:48.820 because I've
00:41:49.100 rooted against
00:41:49.540 Harvard for a
00:41:50.020 long time and
00:41:50.380 now actually
00:41:50.920 Harvard might
00:41:51.360 go down.
00:41:52.900 But forget
00:41:53.300 about all
00:41:54.780 those schools
00:41:55.240 are extremely
00:41:56.420 left-wing.
00:41:57.660 Stanford,
00:41:58.440 Yale,
00:41:58.860 Princeton,
00:41:59.800 Cornell,
00:42:00.240 all of them.
00:42:00.820 But if you
00:42:02.820 can get the
00:42:04.000 students to
00:42:04.620 go from
00:42:04.980 Harvard to
00:42:05.480 the peer
00:42:05.840 schools,
00:42:06.360 you can
00:42:06.760 really weaken
00:42:07.380 Harvard.
00:42:07.760 And then you
00:42:08.140 keep pushing
00:42:09.440 on the
00:42:10.040 president scandal
00:42:10.740 and you get
00:42:11.280 the president
00:42:11.800 to resign
00:42:12.300 in disgrace.
00:42:13.060 That further
00:42:13.960 hits the
00:42:14.320 Harvard
00:42:14.520 reputation.
00:42:15.400 And then
00:42:15.720 you point
00:42:16.040 out to
00:42:16.260 the donors
00:42:16.680 that you
00:42:17.160 got two
00:42:17.500 dozen
00:42:17.760 Harvard
00:42:18.000 student
00:42:18.320 groups
00:42:18.600 marching
00:42:18.920 for Hamas.
00:42:19.640 That's
00:42:19.980 really going
00:42:20.800 to hurt
00:42:21.080 the donors.
00:42:22.160 That's
00:42:22.400 really going
00:42:23.140 to hurt
00:42:23.320 the donations
00:42:23.800 coming into
00:42:24.220 Harvard.
00:42:24.620 And then
00:42:24.900 you've
00:42:25.000 got a
00:42:25.220 three-pronged
00:42:25.860 attack that
00:42:26.600 seriously
00:42:27.360 weakens
00:42:28.000 what is
00:42:28.920 the symbol
00:42:30.320 of
00:42:31.080 prestigious
00:42:31.700 elite
00:42:32.200 education
00:42:32.740 in the
00:42:33.120 United
00:42:33.340 States,
00:42:33.880 a stronghold
00:42:34.680 of the
00:42:34.940 left,
00:42:35.280 and that's
00:42:35.840 a political
00:42:36.180 win.
00:42:37.820 You're not
00:42:38.360 going to
00:42:38.560 take down
00:42:38.880 every woke
00:42:39.340 corporation
00:42:39.840 at a time.
00:42:40.440 You're going
00:42:40.600 to take
00:42:40.820 down Bud
00:42:41.200 Light,
00:42:41.480 if that.
00:42:42.320 Okay,
00:42:42.520 that's your
00:42:42.920 chance.
00:42:43.920 You get
00:42:44.300 one of
00:42:44.700 them.
00:42:46.260 Even
00:42:46.580 Target,
00:42:47.020 we tried
00:42:47.260 to take
00:42:47.500 down
00:42:47.640 Target,
00:42:47.900 it didn't
00:42:48.020 really
00:42:48.160 work.
00:42:48.520 We did
00:42:48.900 take down
00:42:49.320 Bud Light.
00:42:49.780 Got to
00:42:50.000 keep up
00:42:50.320 the pressure
00:42:50.740 on Bud
00:42:51.080 Light,
00:42:51.400 too.
00:42:52.860 Bud
00:42:53.020 Light's
00:42:53.240 not the
00:42:53.500 only company
00:42:54.000 that's
00:42:54.240 embraced
00:42:54.760 the radical
00:42:55.240 LGBT
00:43:00.320 that gave
00:43:00.760 us the
00:43:01.020 biggest
00:43:01.260 opening.
00:43:01.720 We took
00:43:01.980 them down
00:43:02.320 and we
00:43:03.020 took a
00:43:03.480 scalp,
00:43:04.080 a corporate
00:43:04.480 scalp.
00:43:05.120 That's
00:43:05.520 what we
00:43:05.680 got to
00:43:05.880 do here
00:43:06.120 with
00:43:06.260 Harvard.
00:43:06.860 Keep
00:43:07.120 it up.
00:43:09.000 Speaking
00:43:09.380 of science
00:43:10.000 and scholarship,
00:43:10.940 peer-reviewed
00:43:11.320 study,
00:43:11.580 I teased
00:43:11.840 it yesterday.
00:43:13.820 This comes
00:43:14.540 from the
00:43:14.860 Public Library
00:43:15.340 of Science,
00:43:16.340 Sciences
00:43:16.780 Journal,
00:43:17.220 PLOS,
00:43:19.160 investigated
00:43:19.880 greenhouse gas
00:43:21.340 emissions of
00:43:21.860 methane and
00:43:22.280 nitrous oxide
00:43:22.780 in human
00:43:23.120 breath,
00:43:23.480 which allegedly
00:43:24.240 contribute to
00:43:24.920 global warming.
00:43:26.320 So what's
00:43:27.040 the conclusion
00:43:27.500 that we would
00:43:27.860 draw from
00:43:28.160 this paper?
00:43:30.320 Global
00:43:30.840 warming is
00:43:31.360 really bad,
00:43:31.880 threatens to
00:43:32.280 kill us
00:43:32.560 all.
00:43:34.880 Your
00:43:35.400 breathing
00:43:36.000 contributes
00:43:36.900 to global
00:43:37.500 warming.
00:43:39.280 Therefore,
00:43:40.880 you got to
00:43:42.260 stop breathing.
00:43:43.800 That's the
00:43:44.420 only reasonable
00:43:44.980 conclusion you
00:43:45.560 can draw if
00:43:45.920 you accept
00:43:46.240 those two
00:43:46.580 premises.
00:43:47.840 And this
00:43:48.460 was always
00:43:48.960 the end
00:43:49.300 of it.
00:43:50.720 The end
00:43:51.640 of the
00:43:52.040 climate
00:43:52.340 religion,
00:43:53.180 the cult,
00:43:54.060 has always
00:43:54.920 been anti-human.
00:43:57.220 Isn't it
00:43:57.860 coincidental
00:43:59.440 how everything
00:44:00.900 we hear,
00:44:02.620 every piece
00:44:03.520 of practical
00:44:04.120 advice that
00:44:04.580 we get from
00:44:05.000 the climate
00:44:05.360 religion people
00:44:06.100 always reduces
00:44:10.260 humanity,
00:44:11.360 always diminishes
00:44:12.380 humanity,
00:44:13.400 always says,
00:44:14.260 hey, you got to
00:44:14.580 have fewer
00:44:14.940 children.
00:44:15.980 Having children
00:44:16.540 is bad for
00:44:17.120 the world.
00:44:17.700 Hey, you got to
00:44:18.300 eat less.
00:44:19.440 When you eat,
00:44:20.380 it's bad for
00:44:21.800 the environment.
00:44:22.220 Hey, you have to
00:44:23.020 have less culture.
00:44:24.580 No meat.
00:44:26.160 No moving
00:44:27.640 around.
00:44:28.640 No building
00:44:29.240 things.
00:44:29.900 You can't
00:44:30.220 build things.
00:44:30.820 That's bad for
00:44:31.280 the environment.
00:44:31.880 You have to
00:44:32.520 have less
00:44:33.840 culture.
00:44:34.180 You need to
00:44:34.440 live in
00:44:34.640 smaller spaces.
00:44:36.080 No nice
00:44:36.600 big houses.
00:44:37.160 You got to
00:44:37.420 live in
00:44:37.680 little tiny
00:44:38.140 cages like
00:44:38.720 rats.
00:44:39.320 Yeah.
00:44:40.060 Otherwise,
00:44:40.680 the world
00:44:41.000 is going to
00:44:41.420 end.
00:44:42.660 Yeah, you
00:44:43.060 can't have
00:44:45.020 electricity.
00:44:46.120 You can't
00:44:46.680 fuel things.
00:44:47.560 You can't
00:44:47.960 build and
00:44:48.640 dig and
00:44:49.160 grow and
00:44:49.900 create.
00:44:50.580 All of
00:44:50.960 that's over.
00:44:51.660 Oh, and
00:44:51.960 by the way,
00:44:52.480 now you got to
00:44:52.980 kill yourself.
00:44:54.520 You have to
00:44:55.080 kill yourself
00:44:55.640 because otherwise
00:44:56.220 you're going to
00:44:56.760 die.
00:44:58.280 It reminds me of
00:44:59.400 one of those
00:44:59.900 early South Park
00:45:00.600 episodes where
00:45:02.200 the crazy hunter
00:45:03.200 Jimbo, he says,
00:45:04.340 listen, boys,
00:45:05.460 we got to go
00:45:06.920 kill all these
00:45:07.500 deer.
00:45:07.880 We got to use
00:45:08.280 bazookas and
00:45:09.360 all sorts of
00:45:09.900 crazy guns and
00:45:10.440 we have to kill
00:45:11.020 them because we
00:45:11.740 got to thin out
00:45:12.220 the herd or
00:45:12.700 else they'll
00:45:13.020 die.
00:45:14.640 And there
00:45:14.900 actually is a
00:45:15.340 good argument
00:45:15.700 for thinning
00:45:16.080 out the herd
00:45:16.520 when it
00:45:17.040 pertains to
00:45:17.700 animals, not
00:45:18.140 to human
00:45:18.460 beings.
00:45:19.400 But this
00:45:20.860 argument was
00:45:21.420 being made
00:45:22.660 in a
00:45:22.860 satirical
00:45:23.220 way because
00:45:24.160 at a very
00:45:25.460 literal level,
00:45:26.360 it doesn't
00:45:27.220 make any
00:45:27.500 sense, right?
00:45:27.900 You've got to
00:45:28.400 die or else
00:45:30.300 you're going to
00:45:30.620 die.
00:45:32.340 That's the
00:45:32.980 straight-faced
00:45:33.600 argument that
00:45:34.560 the libs are
00:45:34.960 making.
00:45:35.340 Stop breathing
00:45:36.320 or else you
00:45:36.940 will die. 0.61
00:45:37.540 And of course
00:45:37.960 that is the
00:45:38.360 case.
00:45:39.400 All pagan 1.00
00:45:40.020 religion ultimately
00:45:40.940 comes down to
00:45:41.520 this.
00:45:41.820 All pagan 1.00
00:45:42.400 religion ultimately
00:45:43.940 comes down to
00:45:44.920 human sacrifice
00:45:46.180 because all pagan
00:45:46.900 religion ultimately
00:45:47.600 leads to demons
00:45:48.100 and demons hate
00:45:48.660 you and want to
00:45:49.000 kill you. 0.99
00:45:49.300 Listen, not
00:45:50.300 everyone's ready
00:45:50.780 to hear that
00:45:51.260 story even
00:45:52.080 though wise
00:45:55.020 people have
00:45:55.400 understood that
00:45:55.880 since the dawn
00:45:56.300 of time virtually
00:45:56.880 everywhere on
00:45:57.400 earth.
00:45:57.660 So it's not,
00:45:58.200 you know, it
00:45:59.020 sounds absurd
00:46:00.780 by today's
00:46:01.600 modern scientific
00:46:02.400 standards, but we
00:46:03.240 live in absurd
00:46:03.920 times.
00:46:05.160 So it's no
00:46:05.920 surprise.
00:46:07.260 We live in
00:46:07.680 times where the
00:46:08.160 brilliant people in
00:46:08.800 the white lab
00:46:09.220 coats who
00:46:10.060 supposedly know all
00:46:10.880 the mysteries of
00:46:11.380 the universe are
00:46:11.900 the ones who
00:46:12.240 tell us that the
00:46:13.220 way to save the
00:46:13.820 world is for you
00:46:14.500 to stop breathing.
00:46:15.400 Okay?
00:46:15.920 We live in times
00:46:17.000 when the geniuses
00:46:17.760 in the white lab
00:46:18.280 coats tell you
00:46:18.900 that the way to
00:46:19.660 stop catching an
00:46:20.460 airborne illness
00:46:20.960 is to put a
00:46:21.440 hanky on your
00:46:21.940 face and stand
00:46:22.460 six feet away.
00:46:23.220 All right?
00:46:23.380 We live in times
00:46:24.760 when the geniuses
00:46:25.440 in the white lab
00:46:25.940 coats say that if
00:46:26.980 your little boy
00:46:27.900 puts on a tutu
00:46:28.700 ever because you
00:46:29.480 encouraged him to,
00:46:30.640 then you've got to
00:46:31.220 castrate him and
00:46:32.000 chop his genitals 0.99
00:46:32.620 off.
00:46:33.080 Okay?
00:46:33.340 And you've got to
00:46:34.100 take an experimental
00:46:35.400 shot that is going
00:46:36.820 to stop you from
00:46:37.560 catching a virus and
00:46:38.840 spreading a virus.
00:46:39.600 And actually it
00:46:39.980 doesn't do either of
00:46:40.600 those things, but
00:46:41.060 get ten more shots
00:46:41.880 because it'll work
00:46:42.640 next time, we
00:46:43.140 promise you.
00:46:43.680 Okay?
00:46:43.780 We live in an age
00:46:44.980 of absurdity.
00:46:48.900 And maybe the
00:46:50.320 gods of the
00:46:50.720 copybook headings
00:46:51.340 were right.
00:46:51.760 Maybe there isn't
00:46:53.620 all that much new
00:46:54.360 under the sun,
00:46:55.920 including the sun
00:46:56.660 religion.
00:46:57.660 Maybe that's the
00:46:58.580 same old sun
00:46:59.140 religion that has
00:47:01.020 been used to
00:47:03.240 sacrifice human
00:47:04.240 beings and
00:47:05.380 diminish us for
00:47:07.340 all of history.
00:47:08.380 The rest of the
00:47:09.020 show continues.
