00:00:35.700 Good Ranchers, American meat delivered.
00:00:37.700 It's Black History Month, and you know what that means?
00:00:40.640 Nothing.
00:00:41.860 It doesn't mean anything to anyone.
00:00:45.240 Conservative black people don't care about it because they're excluded from any recognition by the liberals who established and run the whole thing. 0.77
00:00:52.700 Leftist black people don't care because, to them, every month should be Black History Month. 0.94
00:00:58.860 Conservative white people don't care because we don't have any racial consciousness.
00:01:03.000 And liberal white people don't care because they don't respect or have any actual interest in black people other than to instrumentalize them for their own political purposes.
00:01:12.160 Which is how you end up with awkward scenes like the one that just transpired in Target's Black History Month display.
00:01:20.340 So, I want to give my kids this little magnet learning activity since Black History coming up from Target.
00:01:27.200 I don't know who's in charge of Target, but these need to be pulled off the shelves, like, immediately.
00:01:32.140 So, I teach you his history.
00:01:33.640 I studied history.
00:01:34.420 Got my major in social studies.
00:01:36.120 And I noticed some discrepancies, like, as soon as I opened this.
00:01:40.020 Like I said, these need to be pulled off the shelf.
00:01:42.720 For starters, this is not Carter G. Woodson.
00:01:45.380 So, this is W.E.B. Du Bois.
00:01:47.980 Peep the stash.
00:01:49.320 Peep the stash.
00:01:50.440 They got the name wrong.
00:01:52.280 This is not W.E.B. Du Bois.
00:01:54.380 This is Booker T. Washington.
00:01:56.620 Peep the little fancy bow tie.
00:01:58.740 Peep the fancy little bow tie.
00:02:02.000 And then this is not Booker T. Washington.
00:02:04.700 This is Carter Woodson.
00:02:08.000 You can see clearly, clearly the similarities.
00:02:11.360 I get it.
00:02:12.600 Mistakes happen.
00:02:13.600 But this needs to be corrected ASAP.
00:02:17.880 Of course, they misidentified Booker T. Washington, the most conservative and inspirational of the civil rights reformers.
00:02:24.680 Of course, they're going to write him out in favor of the socialist W.E.B. Du Bois.
00:02:29.040 But they don't recognize Du Bois either.
00:02:31.160 The libs who put this thing together don't recognize any of them.
00:02:35.600 To the libs, black people all look the same. 1.00
00:02:38.300 Because to the libs, black people are all the same. 1.00
00:02:42.060 And that's worth celebrating, apparently.
00:02:45.540 I'm Michael Knowles.
00:02:46.240 This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:02:47.140 Welcome back to the show.
00:03:07.200 Now that the Apple goggles thing is out, a bunch of people are walking around like dummies with the mask on.
00:03:14.580 Actually, some are driving with the Apple mask on.
00:03:17.720 We'll get to the brave new world in one second.
00:03:19.800 First, though, I don't want to move off of black guys too quickly. 1.00
00:03:23.500 Because a very prominent black guy by the name of Killer Mike just went on Bill Maher's show.
00:03:31.100 Bill Maher begged him to endorse Joe Biden.
00:03:34.560 Here is Killer Mike's answer.
00:03:36.420 What are your feelings on the election coming up?
00:03:38.840 I mean, Biden and Trump.
00:03:40.380 Are you as depressed about that as most people, as a choice?
00:03:43.140 My feeling is pick your policy, not your person.
00:03:47.240 Find out.
00:03:49.100 This is not the Dallas Cowboys versus your favorite team.
00:03:54.440 This is the policies that will affect our generations for the next 20, 30, 40 years to come.
00:04:00.260 So close your eyes.
00:04:01.640 Listen to the policies that are being pushed.
00:04:03.480 So that means you're for.
00:04:06.180 That means I'm for black people and happy black history.
00:04:10.640 But you're not saying one candidate over the other?
00:04:14.120 Hey, man, my n***y ain't going to get me in no trouble tonight.
00:04:19.560 But you can't get yourself to say vote for Biden over Trump?
00:04:24.220 You want me to list it now.
00:04:25.780 I'm just saying.
00:04:26.800 Can he get himself to apologize for the crime bill?
00:04:29.600 Can he get himself to get his head out of his ass and say black people, you are black regardless.
00:04:34.240 I need you to tell me what I need to do.
00:04:36.180 Can he pick a coalition of former people who are affected by drug law, street gangs, recidivism
00:04:41.420 and crime and say, I need you as a board to advise me how to fix federal prisons.
00:04:45.160 If he can do that, absolutely I can.
00:04:47.000 So my challenge is out there.
00:04:49.000 All right, Killer Mike.
00:04:50.620 There's my fellow Killer Mike.
00:04:52.740 When Killer Mike and I are together, we are killers, Mike, kind of like attorneys general.
00:04:57.920 But of course, Killer Mike and I disagree on substantively almost everything he just said
00:05:02.740 right there.
00:05:04.540 He and I don't like Biden.
00:05:06.180 We agree on that.
00:05:07.660 We're not endorsing Biden.
00:05:08.960 We're not going to vote for Biden.
00:05:10.540 But the reasons why not are totally the opposite.
00:05:13.900 Killer Mike here brings up the Joe Biden crime bill.
00:05:17.020 As far as I'm concerned, that's the one decent thing the man has done in his entire political
00:05:20.260 career.
00:05:21.000 It's good to put criminals in prison.
00:05:23.320 President Trump passed the First Step Act, which was something of a jailbreak bill.
00:05:27.080 And at the time, I was quite critical of that bill.
00:05:29.420 But the people who supported that bill said, well, maybe it can pry off some Democrat voters
00:05:34.500 and that will weaken them politically.
00:05:36.260 And it's a small price to pay politically.
00:05:38.200 I felt it still wasn't worth it.
00:05:40.420 I didn't think the juice was worth the squeeze.
00:05:41.880 But maybe there's a chance that in an election of Trump versus Biden, when the Democrats haven't
00:05:51.720 changed all the rules and it's not widespread mail-in voting based on COVID, and after three
00:05:56.320 years of Biden completely destroying the economy and opening up our borders and dropping to
00:06:01.080 the lowest approval rating of any president in modern history at this time in an election
00:06:04.120 year, maybe there's a chance that Trump actually is able to pry off some of those traditionally
00:06:10.980 Democrat voters, especially black guys.
00:06:14.760 Snoop Dogg just came out.
00:06:16.240 He was asked to criticize Trump.
00:06:17.980 Snoop, diggity-doo-dogg, apparently said that he has nothing but love and respect for Donald
00:06:22.840 Trump.
00:06:23.120 And I think it's because Trump pardoned one of his friends.
00:06:26.060 I don't know the exact details of it.
00:06:28.300 But whatever the reason, this is a reminder of something about Donald Trump that I think
00:06:36.600 unsettles a lot of political nerds and ideologues.
00:06:41.440 Namely, he assembles kind of a weird coalition.
00:06:45.440 Namely, Donald Trump shakes things up.
00:06:47.600 Namely, Donald Trump speaks about issues in some ways that traditional conservatives really
00:06:52.200 like, like when he talks about protecting American industry, and when he talks about rebuilding
00:06:57.580 the American family, and when he talks about law and order.
00:06:59.640 I think conservatives like that a lot.
00:07:01.080 And he talks about issues in ways that conservatives don't like, like when he's trying to let criminals
00:07:08.220 out of prison.
00:07:09.320 But regardless of what you think about Trump, he assembles an unconventional political coalition.
00:07:15.760 And politics is the art of inclusion.
00:07:21.240 Politics is the art of the possible.
00:07:23.720 To quote Otto von Bismarck, it is the art of the second best.
00:07:27.020 Politics exists in real life.
00:07:29.120 To quote cocaine Mitch McConnell, the winners go make laws and the losers go home.
00:07:33.720 This is why it drives me crazy when some abstract writer in the Beltway area attacks an ordinary
00:07:45.040 conservative who's actually doing something in public life because that actual conservative
00:07:51.340 in public life isn't following the five-point manifesto that so-and-so wrote in National Review
00:07:58.400 or whatever, well, these conservatives, you know, they're compromising on their principles,
00:08:06.020 says the random Beltway apparatchik who's writing in the suburbs of Virginia without ever putting
00:08:14.560 any skin in the game, without having anything really on the line.
00:08:18.740 In real life politics, you've got to assemble enough people to win elections.
00:08:24.520 You've got to advance a policy agenda that will be popular, that will be implemented,
00:08:31.100 and that will get you reelected.
00:08:33.140 And so none of this to defend certain bills and policy proposals from Trump or any other
00:08:39.840 conservative that are improper or inappropriate.
00:08:45.100 But it is to say all Republicans have to do is pry away like four to five percent of the black vote
00:08:51.360 and the Democrats lose.
00:08:52.580 And the Democrats lose basically every election.
00:08:55.820 And is that going to happen?
00:08:57.000 I've been burned one too many times on thinking that this is the moment that the Republicans
00:09:02.140 finally win over a huge portion of the black vote.
00:09:04.460 But I don't know, maybe, maybe.
00:09:06.580 We've never had an election like this.
00:09:08.040 We've never had an election where an American original, Donald Trump,
00:09:11.900 is running for a non-consecutive second term against the historically least popular president,
00:09:17.420 maybe in American history, at a time when there is a political shift that's been rumbling for at least
00:09:23.800 a decade now.
00:09:25.960 I'm just saying maybe.
00:09:26.860 I'm just saying maybe it could happen.

00:10:47.220 Speaking of questionable laws, this stupid border bill has been presented to the U.S. Senate.
00:10:53.280 You know, I don't even want to call it a border bill.
00:10:56.220 What's the, what, I guess in as much as the bill pertains to the southern border, it opens
00:11:01.300 up the border more.
00:11:02.420 So in that way, it's a border, it's not a border security bill.
00:11:05.540 It's just a border, it's an open border bill.
00:11:07.580 And we're, we're now getting even more details about this stupid bill that poor Senator Jim
00:11:13.860 Lankford, the Republican from Oklahoma is taking the fall for, but it was a bill that
00:11:17.720 was negotiated obviously by Senate leadership by Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer.
00:11:21.840 And it's complete trash.
00:11:23.980 It's so totally unacceptable that even, I give a lot of grace to Cocaine Mitch.
00:11:29.500 I think he's a pretty effective political leader, even if he's not a rock-ribbed conservative.
00:11:33.320 But this is just pure garbage.
00:11:36.380 Per Senator Tom Cotton, here's what this border security bill will do.
00:11:40.660 It'll give the Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas the right for the first time ever to grant
00:11:47.560 asylum claims, to grant American citizenship, ultimately, to illegal aliens at the border
00:11:54.940 without review by immigration courts.
00:11:57.540 So you give the guy who very well might be impeached for the terrible job he's done as
00:12:04.540 the Secretary of Homeland Security, you're going to give that guy unilateral power to make
00:12:10.340 new American citizens.
00:12:11.280 That's not great.
00:12:12.620 The bill would codify catch and release.
00:12:15.680 So the Border Patrol arrests these guys, and then just as a matter of law, they would release
00:12:20.680 them into the country, never to be heard from again.
00:12:22.700 This would be under the so-called alternatives to detention for any alien that says that they
00:12:28.100 intend to apply for asylum or another protection.
00:12:32.300 So not hard to see how this is going to play out.
00:12:35.140 The illegal aliens who give their life savings to the drug cartels, they're going to go up to 1.00
00:12:40.240 them, and they're going to say, okay, here's all my money.
00:12:43.240 And the coyotes and the cartels are going to say, okay, here's what you say.
00:12:46.980 Yo quiero asylum when you get to the Border Patrol age.
00:12:49.980 And then they're just going to let you out into the country.
00:12:51.800 This is the Border Security Bill.
00:12:53.780 The bill would give immediate work permits to everyone who says that he wants asylum as
00:13:00.660 long as he passes an initial screening by liberal bureaucrats.
00:13:03.920 You think they're going to pass?
00:13:04.680 I think they probably will.
00:13:05.960 So, okay, instantly you get work permits.
00:13:07.560 That'll be great for American labor, by the way, right?
00:13:09.980 That'll be really good for the working class.
00:13:11.620 So glad to see the Democrats fighting for the little guy again by depressing their wages
00:13:15.180 to nothing.
00:13:15.920 The bill would grant 50,000 extra green cards per year.
00:13:19.280 This is a time when the United States has over 3 million foreigners coming in, immigrating
00:13:24.580 into our country every year.
00:13:26.300 More than that.
00:13:27.160 I guess it's more like 4 million plus, 4.5 million, because you've got 1 million legal immigrants,
00:13:32.660 and then you've got another, what, 3 million illegal immigrants?
00:13:36.400 And this is the time when the liberals say, okay, you know what we need?
00:13:41.280 You know how we're going to solve this problem?
00:13:42.800 We're going to have more legal immigration.
00:13:44.320 No, the problem is you have too many people coming into the country, man. 1.00
00:13:46.760 We got 320, 330 million people.
00:13:49.320 4 million newcomers a year is just too much, especially when this has been going on for 0.71
00:13:53.600 60 years, especially when we intentionally don't assimilate anyone.
00:13:56.740 It's just too much.
00:13:57.760 No knock on the Guatemalans.
00:13:59.060 I like them very much as a people, but we can't take the whole country.
00:14:02.460 We can't take all of Venezuela.
00:14:03.980 We can't take all of Ecuador.
00:14:05.980 We can't take all of Nicaragua.
00:14:07.200 We can't take all of Honduras. 1.00
00:14:07.940 It's just too much, man.
00:14:08.920 We got too many people coming in.
00:14:10.560 We need to cut it out.
00:14:12.020 We need to greatly reduce the number of green cards we have in this country, especially 0.99
00:14:16.720 because virtually all, I mean, the vast, vast majority of new immigrants are coming from
00:14:22.200 the same parts of the world.
00:14:23.240 How does that aid in the supposed diversity aims of the mass migration?
00:14:27.900 It doesn't aid at all.
00:14:29.260 You know what it aids?
00:14:30.000 It aids at giving Democrats a permanent majority, which is what this whole bill is about.
00:14:34.240 The bill would guarantee new government-funded lawyers for illegal aliens.
00:14:38.180 That's good.
00:14:38.640 I was afraid they wouldn't have top legal counsel.
00:14:41.120 The bill would not limit Biden and Mayorkas' abuse of immigration parole.
00:14:46.480 This would allow them, therefore, to continue using parole as a way to let people off the
00:14:51.900 hook issue work permits to any illegal alien who can claim an urgent humanitarian reason.
00:14:58.360 And then, here we go.
00:14:59.580 This is the cherry on top of this garbage sundae.
00:15:03.300 The border bill would send billions of dollars of foreign aid all over the world in ways that
00:15:09.940 would not help us.
00:15:10.960 For instance, billions of dollars of non-military humanitarian, quote-unquote, aid to Gaza without
00:15:17.620 any safeguards.
00:15:18.520 So I'm all for sending humanitarian aid to whomever deserves it.
00:15:22.620 But you really think you're going to send aid to Gaza?
00:15:24.720 That's going to go straight to the poor Palestinians who are being oppressed.
00:15:28.280 But not a chance.
00:15:29.060 It's going to be taken by Hamas, which is the government of Gaza.
00:15:34.040 And it's going to do what?
00:15:35.840 Theoretically, we're backing Israel in the war between Gaza and Hamas.
00:15:38.820 So then we're going to fund Israel some more.
00:15:40.220 So you know what we're going to do?
00:15:40.960 We're just going to fund everybody and blow everything up with no strategic end in sight.
00:15:44.660 And we're going to squeeze that into the border bill for some reason.
00:15:47.620 The border will, which doesn't close the border, it opens it.
00:15:50.680 It is so, it shouldn't astound me anymore because my expectations of the Republican Party should
00:15:57.300 be below the ground at this point.
00:16:00.680 But if you sent me to Washington, D.C. and you said, Michael, write the worst possible bill
00:16:09.880 on an urgent policy matter that you possibly can.
00:16:13.480 I would struggle to come up with this bill.
00:16:16.500 That's how bad it is.
00:16:18.520 I don't know what Jim Lankford was thinking.
00:16:20.880 Jim Lankford's always been a perfectly amiable Republican senator.
00:16:24.000 The fact that Mitch McConnell got him to take the fall for this thing, absolutely pathetic.
00:16:28.840 And they thought they were going to get this thing through.
00:16:31.400 Two weeks ago, one week ago for that matter, they really thought they were going to ram this thing through.
00:16:36.000 Complete trash.
00:16:37.480 Now, thankfully, even if there's a little confusion in the Senate, and look, there are great senators.
00:16:41.900 Tom Cotton's come out against this.
00:16:43.920 Mike Lee in Utah has been very forceful against this.
00:16:46.740 Senator Cruz.
00:16:47.500 I mean, all the good guys in the Senate have come out strongly against this thing.
00:16:51.260 But in the House, the House GOP leadership has said this is dead on arrival.
00:16:56.100 This is a joint statement from Speaker Johnson and Steve Scalise and the rest of House leadership.
00:17:01.840 They say, any consideration of this Senate bill in its current form is a waste of time.
00:17:06.540 It is dead on arrival in the House.
00:17:09.200 We encourage the U.S. Senate to reject it.
00:17:12.160 Which I bring up because, one, that's really, really good.
00:17:15.620 If the House kills it, it's dead.
00:17:17.220 Thankfully, the Republicans control the House.
00:17:19.260 Barely, but we control the House, unlike in the Senate.
00:17:21.800 But, two, does this mean Matt Gaetz is vindicated?
00:17:27.860 Remember, Matt Gaetz puts on a big show, pulls a big stunt, and throws out Kevin McCarthy, the leader of the House, the Speaker of the House.
00:17:36.840 And he did that because he said, McCarthy has betrayed conservatives, and he's lied to us, and he's a squish, and we don't want him anymore. 0.97
00:17:43.060 And when Matt Gaetz threw him out, all of the establishment types, including self-styled conservatives, freaked out.
00:17:54.040 They whined.
00:17:54.800 They complained.
00:17:55.760 I didn't even have that much of a grudge against Kevin McCarthy.
00:17:59.960 I thought he was a little bit squishy, but compared to the previous speakers in recent memory, he was the most conservative of any of them.
00:18:06.200 I suppose I'm damning, perhaps, with faint praise.
00:18:08.460 But I didn't hate the guy.
00:18:10.820 I wouldn't have rallied to throw him out, but I also didn't think he was the most conservative guy either.
00:18:17.300 And I thought, okay, Matt Gaetz has this opportunity.
00:18:19.240 He's going to throw him out.
00:18:20.000 We'll see what happens.
00:18:20.820 And all the establishment types, they whined.
00:18:22.820 They cried, oh, no, we're losing the great speaker.
00:18:25.620 This is going to throw the House into chaos.
00:18:27.380 What did that chaos get us?
00:18:28.480 That chaos got us a strong conservative speaker in Mike Johnson, and it killed this stupid bill.
00:18:34.860 This bill, it's not as though this would just be, ah, we've got to take our medicine.
00:18:40.820 We conservatives, this bill would have radically expanded immigration and would have given Democrats a generational electoral advantage.
00:18:51.820 Is Matt Gaetz vindicated here?
00:18:53.600 I think Matt Gaetz might be a little bit vindicated, okay?
00:18:56.200 Because while the GOP establishment whined and cried and moaned about tossing out McCarthy, whom I still think is fine.
00:19:04.600 Maybe McCarthy would have killed the bill, too.
00:19:06.020 I don't know.
00:19:06.520 But I know for a fact Johnson would kill the bill.
00:19:10.160 Seems to be working out just fine.
00:19:11.560 Now, speaking of illegal aliens, everyone, everyone other than Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell, apparently, in the country knows that this immigration situation is just horrible, including CNN.
00:19:24.060 CNN just ran a segment on the chaos in New York City right now where illegal aliens are going around robbing people, mugging people, assaulting people, dragging people from the back of mopeds, just absolutely terrorizing the city.
00:19:36.960 And even the libs on CNN are saying, this looks really bad.
00:19:42.420 Within that group, this hardworking, you know, throngs of people in search of hope and a better life, there is this one percenter, you know, criminal element that looks at a different opportunity here.
00:19:53.960 But these individuals, I went over their rap sheets yesterday, multiple charges, grand larceny, robbery, attempted robbery, grand larceny, grand larceny.
00:20:03.080 This particular crew operated on mopeds and scooters.
00:20:06.200 They were doing organized retail theft.
00:20:09.040 They were doing snatches on the street, iPhones, iPads, clothing, so on and so forth.
00:20:13.800 One of them that they are still seeking has 10 charges on one day because he's part of a pattern that's been going on.
00:20:20.840 And I'm looking at the dates that their arrest started, which is probably close to when they got here.
00:20:25.900 They've only been here a couple of months.
00:20:27.820 So what the detectives are telling me is they have crews here that operate in New York, do all their stealing, then go to Florida to spend the money and then come back.
00:20:36.420 And I'm like, well, why don't they just stay and steal in Florida?
00:20:38.460 And they said, because there you go to jail.
00:20:40.400 Oh, wow.
00:20:42.860 Not only calling attention to the problem, but pointing out it's a political problem.
00:20:47.760 It's not even just about where the migrants are going.
00:20:50.500 Plenty of migrants go to Florida, too.
00:20:52.580 It says, no, in New York, you get off the hook when you commit a crime because New York is run by Democrats.
00:20:58.400 Florida, you go to jail.
00:21:03.320 The layers of honesty from CNN, I'm not sure that I've ever seen from them.
00:21:08.460 You're seeing this out of the New York City mayor, too, though.
00:21:10.580 Remember, the New York City mayor came out and he said that illegal immigration was going to destroy New York City.
00:21:16.260 He then had an appointment scheduled to meet with the Biden White House about this.
00:21:20.600 And just before that meeting, all of a sudden, investigators start poking around into corruption allegations against the New York City mayor.
00:21:27.120 Kind of funny how that works, isn't it?
00:21:29.620 Everybody knows this is a disaster.
00:21:31.540 Joe Biden knows this is a disaster for him.
00:21:34.740 But what are they going to do about it?
00:21:37.400 What can they do?
00:21:38.100 The best thing they can do, they're not going to stop the migration. 0.67
00:21:41.380 They're not going to stop it because it is the Democrats' long-term strategy.
00:21:44.740 It just might hurt them in the short term.
00:21:46.000 So the only thing they can do is put together some awful bill to trick Republicans into signing on to it so that the Democrats can blame Republicans or share some of the blame with Republicans for the migration situation, which is entirely the Democrats' fault. 0.56
00:22:01.280 And these doofuses in Washington, D.C. and the Republican Party want to take the bait.
00:22:07.020 They're begging, please, conservatives, let's go along with this.
00:22:11.020 We don't want the Democrats to bear all the blame for maybe the most important political issue to Americans and to people throughout the West for the last decade.
00:22:20.580 The issue that prompted Brexit, that prompted the election of leaders in Europe from Hungary to Italy, almost to Spain, to Sweden, to Germany.
00:22:29.140 No, no.
00:22:29.680 No, hey, let's just give up our advantage.
00:22:32.320 What a bunch of dummies. 0.99
00:22:35.880 Good grief.
00:22:36.460 I'm glad that the conservatives seem to be holding the line here.
00:22:39.420 But don't—when CNN tells you what this is all about, you should believe them, okay?
00:22:47.140 When CNN admits, oh, man, this is looking bad, you should believe them.
00:22:50.800 Now, what can we do for our country?
00:22:52.560 Well, we certainly should pray for our country.

00:24:47.880 Speaking of New York,
00:24:49.060 A New York court has just ruled that a father cannot stop his eight-year-old child from being transed.
00:24:58.140 This interview, Kerov lives with TikTok.
00:25:01.640 At about age two to three, he was going to a therapist by the name of Andrea Binner.
00:25:07.620 And Andrea Binner is in Buffalo, and she's a self-proclaimed transgender therapist that specializes in adolescence.
00:25:17.620 And she does gender-affirming therapy.
00:25:20.980 Now, Andrea Binner never kept any notes at all on any therapy sessions that she had with my child.
00:25:29.580 It came out that not only did she not follow the WPATH standards for transgender care,
00:25:34.280 but my son never, and still hasn't, had any formal diagnosis of gender dysphoria using the DSM-5 criteria.
00:25:42.420 Now, what Binner did afterwards was at about four years old, she referred my son to a endocrinologist at the University of Rochester Pediatric Division by the name of Dr. Tran.
00:25:57.120 Dr. Tran had two phone calls totaling 45 minutes with the mother only.
00:26:03.640 They never spoke to my child.
00:26:05.820 They never met my child.
00:26:07.100 Yet, over those two 45-minute phone calls, they came to this conclusion that my son has gender dysphoria,
00:26:15.840 and they recommended the potential for puberty blockers around the age nine.
00:26:20.960 A horrific story.
00:26:23.400 Poor guy.
00:26:24.300 Your heart breaks for him.
00:26:25.160 Your heart really breaks for the kid who never had a chance because his psycho mom wanted to trans him from the age, 0.74
00:26:31.400 it seems, of three or four, and then psycho doctors, doctors, these quacks, encouraged her to do that to him. 0.74
00:26:40.420 Which is why we need to come to a conclusion on this issue.
00:26:47.960 Liberalism, pluralistic society, the open society, all these platitudes that the left pushes and that the right believes in as well, often.
00:26:57.640 The right, which is afraid of authoritarianism, oh no, we can't be too harsh, we can't be too forceful, we gotta watch out for big government or whatever.
00:27:07.600 The right buys into this stuff too.
00:27:10.640 Well, all of those platitudes lead to this.
00:27:14.980 The liberal society, you know, a liberal, as Robert Frost said, is one who can't take his own side in an argument.
00:27:20.020 The open society, the plural, well, who knows, maybe, maybe transgenderism is real, you know, who's gonna say?
00:27:27.440 Who's gonna say?
00:27:31.480 Either we're gonna say, or they're gonna say.
00:27:35.700 I got in trouble for my CPAC speech, the anniversary was just coming up, who knows what I'll talk about this year at CPAC.
00:27:40.460 But I was not making a call to arms exactly, I was observing a simple fact.
00:27:48.960 Either we will eradicate transgender ideology totally from society, from public level, from public life at every level. 0.99
00:27:56.560 Or we will embrace transgender ideology in public life and private life at every level.
00:28:04.200 There's no middle ground.
00:28:05.540 If we accept the premise of transgenderism, if we believe that a man, that any man can become a woman, 0.84
00:28:14.640 then when parents get divorced and the sane dad goes somewhere and the insane mom takes the kid,
00:28:22.540 and the insane mom meets up with an insane physician, then that kid's gonna get transed. 1.00
00:28:29.000 There's a very good chance that's gonna happen.
00:28:30.740 Because we have accepted as a matter of public policy that a man can become a woman or a man can be born in the wrong body.
00:28:38.660 And if you can be born in the wrong body, then a little kid can be trans too. 0.95
00:28:41.820 And if a little kid can be trans, then it is so important as a matter of compassion and charity
00:28:46.380 that we allow that kid to live his truth and to be freed from the shackles of his false body
00:28:52.900 and whatever other new age, weirdo, occult nonsense these people talk about.
00:28:58.360 But that is the inevitable consequence of accepting at any level the transgender ideology. 1.00
00:29:06.140 So if you're listening to this and you're a moderate on this issue, you're a centrist,
00:29:12.280 you're an open-minded leftist, and there are a number of leftists who listen to this show.
00:29:17.840 And you say, look, Michael, I just disagree.
00:29:20.300 I think a person can be born in the wrong body.
00:29:24.740 Look, I think something, not everyone, I'm not saying I want to do it with the kids,
00:29:28.140 but I think that if you want to change your gender, you ought to be able to change your gender.
00:29:32.440 Okay, well, all I'm telling you is that if that's your opinion
00:29:37.800 and you support establishing that opinion as a matter of policy,
00:29:44.680 then you are transing that kid.
00:29:46.720 You might not want to be, you might want to limit it somewhere,
00:29:50.120 but there's no way to limit an ontological principle,
00:29:54.620 a basic anthropological principle such as transgenderism.
00:29:57.960 There's no way to limit it.
00:29:59.000 So, okay, you want to do that?
00:30:00.640 I guess that's your prerogative as a citizen in this country
00:30:03.060 where you get to just establish whatever you want.
00:30:06.760 But don't kid yourself.
00:30:08.680 The moment you say, well, maybe Bruce Jenner's really Caitlyn now,
00:30:11.900 you are helping to trans that four-year-old kid.
00:30:14.400 So if you can live with that, you can live with that.
00:30:16.120 I certainly cannot.
00:30:17.740 Now, speaking of our brave new world,
00:30:19.800 have you seen the people wearing these dumb Apple things?
00:30:24.260 Apples come out with goggles, and they're goggles.
00:30:27.980 You put them on your head, and I think there's audio associated with it,
00:30:31.720 and it covers up half your face, and they cost $3,500 plus $200 for a battery pack.
00:30:36.240 But here's the promise, is if you spend a lot of money,
00:30:39.880 and you put these dumb-looking goggles on your face, you get to live inside a cell phone.
00:30:45.300 Do you ever think in your modern life, you think, you know, I just don't look at enough screens.
00:30:50.420 I wish I could spend more time.
00:30:52.620 I wish my phone were more immersive, and I didn't have to look at, you know,
00:30:56.380 this beautiful earth and sky that God gave to us to live in real life in our flesh.
00:31:02.780 I wish I could just ignore all that so I could be on my cell phone more.
00:31:06.000 Well, then, have I got the product for you.
00:31:07.940 It's the Apple Vision Pro.
00:31:09.200 Some guy just got pulled over for driving.
00:31:12.940 It was a Tesla, so I guess it was a self-driving car.
00:31:15.200 But he was driving with his Apple goggles on, and the video starts out all sort of nice.
00:31:21.380 He's not touching the steering wheel.
00:31:24.480 It looks like he's casting a magic spell of sorts because he's typing onto the air.
00:31:31.720 So it actually kind of looks like he's Jordan Peterson, you know,
00:31:34.420 like he's doing one of these things with his hands, you know, man.
00:31:37.060 But he's not, but without any of the wisdom, you know, without any of the insightful observations.
00:31:42.560 And then it immediately cuts to the guy gets pulled over by a police officer.
00:31:48.640 C.S. Lewis observed in The Great Divorce that the people who are in hell want to be there.
00:31:58.580 Hell is a place that you choose.
00:32:01.600 Hell is where you go by your own desire because you do not turn your desire and behavior toward God.
00:32:07.640 You turn it in the other direction, and you get what you want.
00:32:10.380 Now, that's the amazing thing about freedom, whether we follow it in a proper way or we abuse it,
00:32:17.680 is you tend to get what you want.
00:32:21.720 If you told not just George Orwell, but Aldous Huxley in the early to mid-20th century,
00:32:29.720 if you said, hey, in the future, people are going to be so addicted to screens and to constant titillation
00:32:38.400 and to just buzzes and alarms and a ton of porn, by the way,
00:32:43.100 that at a certain point, they're going to block out their own vision.
00:32:47.080 They're going to choose to put these goggles on and blur out the real world
00:32:51.200 so that they can watch sports and porn all day, even while they're driving.
00:32:59.280 Huxley would believe you.
00:33:00.360 George Orwell would think that that would be imposed by a tyrannical totalitarian government.
00:33:04.880 Huxley was smarter, though,
00:33:06.260 because while George Orwell in 1984 believes that our loss of freedom
00:33:13.820 is going to come through the heavy hand of the state,
00:33:15.760 Aldous Huxley in Brave New World recognizes,
00:33:18.220 no, it's going to be the carrot, not the stick.
00:33:20.740 He recognizes, no, it's going to be the enticement.
00:33:23.580 It's going to be the temptation to all sorts of low pleasures and to all sorts of vices.
00:33:29.800 That's what's going to get us.
00:33:30.620 It's going to be drugs and sex and promiscuity and just physical pleasure.
00:33:36.460 And that's what's going to happen.
00:33:37.800 I can think of no product that I would less enjoy than the Apple Vision Pro.
00:33:45.760 But a lot of people are going to buy this thing.
00:33:48.860 It's expensive, so that is naturally going to limit who can buy it.
00:33:52.180 But a lot of people are going to desire this thing, that's for sure.
00:33:55.360 They're going to live in virtual reality,
00:33:57.140 which they have convinced themselves is more beautiful and interesting
00:34:02.060 than reality reality.
00:34:04.540 But it's not.
00:34:05.300 And by the way, this is in part why we have the transgender issues,
00:34:08.040 because people just no longer value the physical world.
00:34:10.900 They only value the virtual and digital world,
00:34:13.440 in which a man can really become a woman because their bodies don't matter. 1.00
00:34:17.960 But I still prefer the physical world.
00:34:20.720 And I would encourage you not to plug you,
00:34:22.580 not to voluntarily plug yourself into the matrix
00:34:24.660 where you can watch football and pornography all day long.
00:34:28.200 Speaking of our changing political order,
00:34:33.100 sad news coming out of the UK.
00:34:34.340 This is news about which most Americans will not care,
00:34:39.040 but I do care, actually.
00:34:41.100 His Majesty King Charles III has been diagnosed with cancer.
00:34:45.820 King Charles just became king.
00:34:49.080 His mother reigned for 70 years.
00:34:51.360 And then he ascended to the throne when she died.
00:34:54.000 And he was just crowned, what, a year or two ago?
00:34:56.360 And he went in for a routine kind of prostate procedure,
00:35:03.120 which men of a certain age virtually all undergo.
00:35:07.380 And while they were in there,
00:35:08.680 they found that he had some kind of cancer,
00:35:10.020 non-prostate cancer, some other kind of cancer.
00:35:12.680 The Buckingham Palace has not been totally clear about what cancer that is.
00:35:17.360 And I just think we ought to pray for King Charles.
00:35:20.340 I know we broke away from those limeys back in 1776. 1.00
00:35:23.640 I know some Catholics don't really like the Windsors because they're Protestant.
00:35:31.080 Okay, sure.
00:35:32.260 But some conservatives don't like King Charles
00:35:35.540 because they say he's a world economic forum environmentalist stooge or whatever.
00:35:41.920 Has he divorced his wife?
00:35:43.400 I know.
00:35:43.840 I know all the litany of charges against King Charles.
00:35:47.240 Nevertheless, that man is, I think by his inclination, but certainly by his office,
00:35:58.240 one of the most traditionalist and conservative people left on the face of the earth.
00:36:04.940 Even King Charles' environmentalism is very, very conservative.
00:36:08.820 Because he's not an environmentalist in the way that your lesbian cousin is an environmentalist. 0.99
00:36:13.400 You know, your lesbian vegan cousin with silly colored hair who shows up to Thanksgiving 1.00
00:36:17.680 and yells at you for eating turkey.
00:36:19.240 That's not the kind of environmentalist King Charles is.
00:36:21.900 King Charles is the kind of environmentalist who wants to protect the woodlands on his property
00:36:26.620 so he can continue to hunt foxes.
00:36:28.580 And that's extremely conservative.
00:36:30.880 King Charles is the kind of environmentalist who believes we need to protect the world,
00:36:35.280 the natural world, so that we can continue to enjoy it.
00:36:38.380 Because it's beautiful and old and traditional.
00:36:42.680 He's the kind of environmentalist who likes the environment because he opposes
00:36:46.380 rampant liberal capitalism and industrialization.
00:36:50.280 That's very conservative.
00:36:51.660 That's very, very traditional.
00:36:54.180 The British crown is one of the few remaining even quasi-conservative institutions in the world.
00:37:01.520 And so anyway, that's my long rant and diatribe to pray for King Charles.
00:37:07.020 Because even though we Americans, we think we don't, you know, who cares about the British crown?
00:37:13.400 Even plenty of people in the UK say, oh, whatever, get rid of the crown.
00:37:17.260 You will miss that institution if it ever goes away.
00:37:22.060 You will miss it because there will be a lot of dignity that will disappear.
00:37:27.660 There will be unlearned knowledge that just kind of gets passed down through the generations.
00:37:37.120 It's a matter of heredity.
00:37:38.360 It will disappear.
00:37:39.340 And you will miss it when it's gone.

00:38:48.340 My favorite comment yesterday comes from the drummer's workshop, Norm's Music, who says,
00:38:51.460 I have a feeling that that Bronx judge attended a lot more parties than Brett Kavanaugh.
00:38:55.820 Very true.
00:38:57.180 The libs went after Justice Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings because when he was 16,
00:39:01.660 he went to a beer party or something in high school.
00:39:04.460 Meanwhile, you've got that Bronx family judge who's on the threesome app trying to pick up 0.95
00:39:07.980 the lady whose case she's adjudicating.
00:39:10.760 Yeah.
00:39:11.200 I don't know.
00:39:11.800 Whatever the libs accuse us of, it seems that they're guilty of it 10 times over.
00:39:16.000 Now, speaking of leaders and heads of state, President Trump is reportedly considering
00:39:22.920 two people in particular to be his vice president.
00:39:27.000 He made these comments.
00:39:28.320 He's been a little tight-lipped about who he's considering, but he said he's considering
00:39:31.620 on the short list, Tim Scott, senator from South Carolina, and Kristi Noem, governor of
00:39:36.740 South Dakota.
00:39:37.980 And I like Tim Scott very much.
00:39:39.900 I don't know Kristi Noem, but she was a fine governor. 1.00
00:39:42.720 She made a few errors, but all in all, she was better than average for sure.
00:39:48.100 The idea here, I think, would be that these people would balance the ticket.
00:39:53.300 Trump is white.
00:39:55.820 Tim Scott is black.
00:39:57.500 Trump is a dude.
00:39:59.080 Kristi Noem is a woman.
00:40:00.780 Trump comes from the right wing of the Republican Party.
00:40:03.700 It's a little complicated, but basically he comes from the right wing of the party, the
00:40:07.520 Reagan side of the party, the Goldwater side of the party.
00:40:10.100 And Scott and Noem come from the more liberal side, the more Bush side of the party, the
00:40:17.280 more whatever.
00:40:18.420 That's a little unfair to Noem.
00:40:19.660 She was a little more rock-ribbed, but still, broadly speaking, a little more amenable to
00:40:26.020 the corporate chamber of commerce interest of the Republican Party.
00:40:29.320 Okay, fine.
00:40:31.840 Fine, I guess.
00:40:33.020 I don't know, though, because Trump is a youthful man in his gait, but chronologically, he's
00:40:41.640 a little long in the tooth.
00:40:43.120 So a vice president matters more for a Republican who's 70 or 80 than it would for a Republican
00:40:49.840 who's 40 or 50.
00:40:51.840 And though I like Tim Scott a lot and Kristi Noem seems fine, I would feel more comfortable
00:40:57.820 with a more conservative vice president.
00:40:59.980 So if President Trump wants to balance out the ticket, either with a racial minority
00:41:04.380 or with a woman, to me, there's a very clear answer.
00:41:08.460 The clear person who should be the vice president for Trump, if that's what he's going for, is
00:41:14.660 Marsha Blackburn in Tennessee, my own senator here.
00:41:18.160 The reason being, she's a rock-ribbed conservative, but she's very clubbable. 1.00
00:41:23.840 She's amenable to a broad array of people.
00:41:26.040 She's not scary.
00:41:27.000 She's not stupid.
00:41:27.720 She's obviously a very bright woman.
00:41:29.880 She's very dignified.
00:41:31.180 She comports herself with a great class.
00:41:33.900 And she's a conservative.
00:41:35.340 Now, you might say, well, Michael, Trump's already going to win Tennessee.
00:41:37.800 Yeah, sure.
00:41:38.240 He's also going to win South Carolina and South Dakota.
00:41:40.200 He doesn't need any help to win those states.
00:41:42.280 So it's not as, I'm skeptical that a vice president ever totally can bring a state over,
00:41:46.860 but in as much as a VP can, they're not going to do it.
00:41:50.440 So if that's already baked in and you want someone to balance the ticket, why wouldn't
00:41:55.300 you go for the very conservative, very loyal to Trump choice of Marsha Blackburn?
00:42:01.200 I think she would be a great option.
00:42:03.700 Now, there are other options.
00:42:04.500 If he doesn't care to have a woman or he doesn't care to have a racial minority, J.D.
00:42:08.080 Vance in Ohio, I think, could be a very good choice.
00:42:10.460 There are a number of other people.
00:42:11.440 I'm not limiting.
00:42:11.940 I'm just saying, given what we know about Trump's calculations from his own statements
00:42:17.120 on who he's considering, though I like Tim Scott a lot and Kristi Noem seems just fine.
00:42:23.480 If it were me, if President Trump were to call me tomorrow and said, Michael, what do
00:42:27.760 you think, buddy?
00:42:28.460 What's your choice?
00:42:29.520 It seems to me that the way Trump is thinking, Marsha Blackburn would be a perfect choice.
00:42:35.100 Now, speaking of Republican politicians, there is a great new bill being put forward by a
00:42:43.520 House Republican that every House Republican should get behind.
00:42:48.800 The Republicans in the House, they're doing a good job right now.
00:42:51.440 They're killing that dumb immigration bill. 0.68
00:42:52.840 And now they are proposing the FACE Act repeal.
00:42:56.540 This is coming by way of Congressman Chip Roy.
00:42:59.920 And I think it's absolutely great.
00:43:01.780 And every Republican should back Chip Roy's plan.
00:43:04.620 The FACE Act was a law signed by Bill Clinton in 1994.
00:43:10.000 It's the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act.
00:43:13.580 It was a way to protect abortion clinics from criticism.
00:43:17.620 Because in the 90s, the libs claimed that the poor beleaguered abortionists, the poor baby
00:43:23.460 murderers were being threatened too much.
00:43:25.320 And so we had to figure out a way to stop people from threatening them.
00:43:29.320 But it wasn't really just about threats.
00:43:30.700 The FACE Act very quickly became weaponized to stop conservatives from peaceful protests,
00:43:35.600 peaceful demonstrations.
00:43:36.640 You're seeing pro-lifers being prosecuted and sent to prison for more than a decade for
00:43:40.980 this sort of thing right now.
00:43:42.800 And it was controversial at the time.
00:43:45.040 So the liberals gave the conservatives a bone.
00:43:47.760 And they said, okay, well, in the FACE Act, we'll also stop people from intimidating
00:43:51.300 churchgoers.
00:43:53.420 We'll stop people from vandalizing churches.
00:43:55.520 Joe Biden has not prosecuted one of these cases, a FACE Act case against someone attacking
00:44:02.500 a church.
00:44:03.180 That just doesn't happen.
00:44:04.300 It was bogus.
00:44:05.320 It was a total distraction.
00:44:07.820 This act is about the Protecting Baby Murderers from Criticism Act.
00:44:12.820 That's what you could call it.
00:44:13.940 And so Chip Roy, very wisely and very courageously, just came out and said, let's repeal this stupid
00:44:19.520 thing.
00:44:20.100 And I absolutely think it's a great idea.
00:44:22.600 And I rarely get on my soapbox on this show and say, call your congressman.
00:44:27.860 But when it comes to the FACE Act repeal, call your congressman.
00:44:31.580 Tag your congressman.
00:44:32.480 If you're watching this on YouTube, tag your congressman on YouTube.
00:44:34.740 If you're watching this on Twitter, on X, tag your congressman.
00:44:38.900 If you're watching this on Daily Wire Plus, send this link around.
00:44:43.360 This is a great bill.
00:44:44.680 Every Republican should get behind this.
00:44:46.640 And it's an urgent matter because people are being prosecuted under this stupid law,
00:44:50.980 this FACE Act right now.
00:44:53.020 And good people are going to prison for having the courage to stand up for the most defenseless
00:44:57.660 among us.
00:44:59.700 Call your congressman.
00:45:00.440 Now, speaking of women's issues, there is breaking news.
00:45:07.020 This is real tabloid stuff.
00:45:08.700 Ghislaine Maxwell, the paramour and business partner of Jeffrey Epstein, is apparently going
00:45:14.440 to write a tell-all book about her experience with Jeffrey and on the island.
00:45:20.320 Here is the talk TV exclusive from Ghislaine Maxwell in prison.
00:45:25.240 No, he didn't.
00:45:27.200 I don't believe he did.
00:45:29.880 I believe that he was murdered.
00:45:34.340 I was shocked.
00:45:36.040 And I wondered, how has it happened?
00:45:38.200 So she goes, it's not a very long clip, actually.
00:45:42.920 She's asked, do you think Jeffrey Epstein killed himself?
00:45:45.440 She says, no.
00:45:46.480 Epstein didn't kill himself.
00:45:47.460 I think he was murdered.
00:45:48.800 I don't know how it happened.
00:45:49.920 But I'm going to tell my story.
00:45:54.380 The reason I didn't play the rest of the clip is it's her complaining about prison food. 1.00
00:45:58.640 You know, it's her complaining about the way that she's been treated in prison. 1.00
00:46:01.100 It's just, it's nothing.
00:46:03.680 And it's a sign that you're not going to get anything out of this book.
00:46:08.020 Look, if it comes out, I guess I'll probably read it.
00:46:10.680 Or I'll skim it at least.
00:46:11.700 First, you're not learning anything about Epstein.
00:46:15.820 Every time there's a drip, ah, new information.
00:46:21.740 We're about to unseal the client list right before Christmas.
00:46:24.660 I made my predictions for 2024.
00:46:26.340 I said, you're not going to learn anything new about Epstein, really.
00:46:29.020 Nothing substantively new.
00:46:31.020 And then 24 hours later, breaking news.
00:46:34.380 We're going to unseal the Epstein client list.
00:46:36.820 I thought, oh, maybe I'm wrong.
00:46:37.900 No, I'm not wrong.
00:46:39.120 You know what it's going to be.
00:46:39.940 We're going to find out the same stuff we already knew.
00:46:43.160 Oh, Bill Clinton flew on the airplane.
00:46:44.700 Okay.
00:46:45.280 Alan Dershowitz was Epstein's lawyer.
00:46:47.200 Yeah, we knew that.
00:46:48.960 Epstein was a member of Mar-a-Lago.
00:46:50.660 Uh-huh.
00:46:52.260 Sure.
00:46:53.060 What new information are we going to get?
00:46:54.940 Nothing.
00:46:55.440 And do you know why?
00:46:56.420 Because Alex Acosta, the U.S. attorney who prosecuted Jeffrey Epstein,
00:47:01.440 said that he heard from higher-ups that Jeffrey Epstein belongs to intelligence.
00:47:07.460 And we know that his, Ghislaine Maxwell's father was connected to Israeli intelligence
00:47:13.980 and British intelligence and maybe Russian intelligence.
00:47:16.880 And we know that Jeffrey Epstein apparently had some relationship with American intelligence.
00:47:21.380 And they're not going to let us find out anything.
00:47:23.680 So we can keep seeing the headlines.
00:47:25.140 Oh, big tell-all.
00:47:25.920 Here we go.
00:47:26.500 Yeah, okay.
00:47:26.840 We will learn the truth about Jeffrey Epstein only when the intelligence agencies want us
00:47:34.020 to know about it.
00:47:35.160 And I would not hold my breath for that.
