Google's new artificial intelligence bot, Gemini, steadfastly refuses to generate images of white guys. So what do they do with a picture of a person eating a sandwich on white bread? No, no white guy. They give us an Asian woman, an Asian man, a black guy, an ethnically ambiguous woman, and then an Indian guy.

00:00:35.700 Good Ranchers, American meat delivered.
00:00:37.680 I don't know about you, but I'm beginning to get the impression that Google does not particularly like white people.
00:00:44.220 I'm getting that impression because Google's new artificial intelligence bot, Gemini, steadfastly refuses to generate images of white guys.
00:00:54.140 Our own Frank Fleming set out to test the limits of Google's anti-white guy bias, so he started out by asking for an image of a pope.
00:01:03.440 Since every pope in history has been a man who was white or at most slightly swarthy, that would seem like a good place to start, right? 1.00
00:01:11.880 Well, he looks to get the image of a pope, and he gets an Indian woman wearing the white succhetto and the pectoral cross and all the rest, and then a black guy also dressed in more of the gold stylings of the pope. 0.54
00:01:28.860 And one could imagine, I can think of at least one black guy who I'd like to be pope, but we haven't had a black pope yet.
00:01:34.620 That's kind of strange.
00:01:35.660 Okay, next, Frank asks for a medieval knight.
00:01:40.600 Medieval knights, they were all white guys. 0.81
00:01:42.900 So instead, no, he got an Asian woman, a, I think, kind of Hispanic woman, a black guy, and then what looks to be a Mongol cavalier shooting an arrow. 0.66
00:01:56.880 Okay, no white guy.
00:01:59.520 None of those people were medieval knights, and the one group that was medieval knights, not there.
00:02:05.120 Okay, next one he asks for is, he tried to trick it.
00:02:08.160 He said, a person eating a sandwich on white bread, and it is true, white men are more inclined toward white bread than most. 0.66
00:02:17.360 The white women only eat wheat bread now, and other people, I guess other people eat white bread too. 0.99
00:02:22.380 As we see here, we have a kind of vaguely, I don't know, Hispanic-looking woman, and then a black guy, and then an ethnically ambiguous woman, and then an Indian guy.
00:02:31.660 Okay, no more white guys there.
00:02:32.840 How about someone bad at dancing? 0.97
00:02:34.940 That should give us a white guy, right? 0.95
00:02:36.260 Nope.
00:02:37.020 Instead, we get an Indian woman, a black guy, a kind of, I don't know, Hispanic, I guess, woman, and then another kind of black guy.
00:02:46.120 Okay, so no, even though you might associate being bad at dancing with, nope, no white guys.
00:02:52.000 Okay, country music fans.
00:02:53.980 Surely Google has to give us a white guy for, no, they don't. 0.69
00:02:56.740 They give us some kind of generally brown woman, maybe South Asian woman, and then a black guy, and then a Hispanic lady, and then a Native American man or woman.
00:03:06.420 I can't quite tell because of the long hair.
00:03:08.020 No white guys, even though, what is this, at least 75% of country music fans have to be white guys.
00:03:14.520 No, not a single one.
00:03:16.040 How about Vikings?
00:03:18.600 Frank did this, not me.
00:03:19.860 Don't blame me.
00:03:20.780 It's Frank Fleming is where you should direct your complaints. 0.94
00:03:24.280 Vikings is pretty much all black guys. 0.97
00:03:28.740 It's one black guy, then another black guy who kind of looks like the shaman from the Capitol, except a black guy.
00:03:37.000 And then a black woman with dreadlocks, and then an Asian man for a Viking, not, I actually have a little Viking DNA in me, and I am much darker than any of the Vikings.
00:03:49.560 And then finally, finally, Frank tricked them.
00:03:53.560 He asked for a picture of a guy that looks like his name would be Seamus, and even then, there's only one white guy.
00:04:04.400 Even then, it's still generated a black guy. 0.99
00:04:06.820 Not one black guy in the history of mankind has ever been named Seamus, and then a South Asian guy, maybe Pakistani or Indian, and then a redhead freckled lady.
00:04:18.700 Looks a little bit like Carrot Top, but I think it's still a lady. 1.00
00:04:20.980 And then finally, one dude.
00:04:22.500 So there you go.
00:04:23.520 One of four Seamuses is a white guy. 0.64
00:04:27.180 That's something. 0.98
00:04:28.580 Still, though, we are left with the unfortunate fact that the most powerful company in the history of the world, which controls basically the entire internet, hates white people. 0.99
00:04:36.660 That is, it hates most Americans, and it especially hates men. 0.96
00:04:40.180 Now, if we were talking about elected politicians doing this, I would say, all right, let's just throw them out of office. 0.97
00:04:47.180 These don't seem like very nice people, but we're not.
00:04:49.980 We're talking about unelected and unaccountable oligarchs who have a near monopoly on communication. 0.97
00:04:56.860 Not mighty white.
00:04:58.160 I'm Michael Knowles.
00:04:58.960 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:05:25.080 The COVID vaccine isn't as safe as they told us.
00:05:28.540 We all already knew that, but now we have the largest COVID vax study yet, and surprise, surprise, there are higher-than-expected increases in heart and brain issues.
00:05:39.920 Higher-than-expected among whom?
00:05:41.760 I don't know.
00:05:42.040 I think those of us with two brain cells to rub together expected this kind of thing.
00:05:46.200 The genius elites and experts did not.
00:05:50.400 Much more to say.

00:06:50.140 That is Knowles, K-N-W-L-E-S, to 989898.
00:06:55.680 Speaking of erasure, Letitia James in New York, the attorney general, is threatening to take away Donald Trump's properties if Trump doesn't pay the $354 million civil fraud fine that he was just handed down by a New York judge.
00:07:14.820 So if you didn't follow this case, fair enough.
00:07:17.960 All these cases kind of blur together because they're all just cynical and legally baseless attempts to destroy the leader of the opposition in America because the current president of the United States is a cadaver in fears that he would lose to anybody.
00:07:31.020 In this case, it was a civil fraud case brought against Trump because Trump allegedly inflated the value of his properties to get all sorts of sweetheart deals.
00:07:39.460 Now, first of all, he didn't.
00:07:41.200 As part of these legal proceedings, you've had the liberals making completely insane claims like the claim that Mar-a-Lago, this property in some of the nicest land in all of America that stretches from water to water, giant property, beautiful property in Palm Beach, generates $25 million per year.
00:08:01.520 That's just in services and fees that people pay to use it.
00:08:05.280 That's not taking into account the value of the land and the buildings and all of it itself.
00:08:08.820 They valued that at $17 million, completely insane.
00:08:11.640 That's an order of magnitude lower than it should be, at least.
00:08:15.720 They're saying that because Trump disagrees with the value that they're arbitrarily placing on his properties, that he's got to pay $350 million in a civil fraud fine.
00:08:25.840 Now, the issue is Trump has had lots of money in his life, billions of dollars, most people would assume.
00:08:34.400 That has been whittled away as the liberals have tried to take all of his money and take away his businesses and hurt his brand.
00:08:40.780 But even so, even if he still had billions of dollars, billionaires don't have that much liquid cash.
00:08:46.200 So, to force him to pay $350 million in some civil fraud fine already would force him to liquidate some assets and maybe sell some properties.
00:08:55.760 But what Letitia James is saying here is if he doesn't pay this totally bogus fine, she's going to just take his properties from him. 0.98
00:09:02.760 And a lot of people are saying, this is crazy.
00:09:04.420 This has never happened before.
00:09:05.340 This is unprecedented.
00:09:06.020 Sure, it's unprecedented in American politics to seize the property of the vanquished politicians or of the opposition leader who might be elected again.
00:09:16.500 That's true.
00:09:17.060 But it's not unheard of in politics.
00:09:18.660 This is actually the norm.
00:09:20.380 This is how politics has worked, especially in unstable polities.
00:09:25.200 This is what happened in medieval Florence when Dante was exiled.
00:09:29.560 Dante, my favorite poet.
00:09:31.280 When he was exiled, he was a politician as well as a poet.
00:09:34.100 But he gets booted out because a different faction won political power in Florence.
00:09:39.080 What did they do?
00:09:39.760 They didn't just boot him out.
00:09:41.000 They didn't even just threaten to kill him.
00:09:42.320 They took all his property.
00:09:44.200 That wasn't novel to medieval Italy.
00:09:46.800 It is a novel to modern New York.
00:09:49.080 This was true in ancient Rome, especially in the late Roman Republic as Rome was transitioning from a republic into an empire.
00:09:56.480 What would accompany banishment and exile very often was the confiscation of property.
00:10:00.900 They're just going to take all your stuff.
00:10:02.240 And you might ask, well, what's the legal basis for this?
00:10:05.220 What's the legal basis is you're the bad guy, and they've got the power, and they're going to hurt you, and you should be happy they're not killing you.
00:10:12.540 I'm sure they're contemplating that as well, especially if Donald Trump continues to rise in the polls and Biden continues to diminish in the polls.
00:10:19.940 What you're seeing here is just the raw exercise of power.
00:10:24.360 And as polities become less and less stable, then the guardrails cease to hold quite as well.
00:10:31.820 We're in uncharted territory here.
00:10:33.500 We are now doing banana republic stuff.
00:10:35.980 We are now prosecuting the leader of the opposition.
00:10:38.100 We're now trying to put a former president in prison.
00:10:39.820 That's not the sort of thing that we generally do in America.
00:10:43.000 Okay, well, as the guardrails fail, as the political tradition in America ceases to indicate the political future, expect more of this stuff.
00:10:53.340 It's not brand new.
00:10:54.280 It's very, very old.
00:10:56.580 Political enemies get crushed.
00:10:59.060 That's what the left has planned.
00:11:01.780 They're not going to stop at property, by the way.
00:11:04.340 Put Trump aside for a second.
00:11:05.480 In Illinois, Democrats are seeking to change the definition of abused children to include minors whose parents object to the kids receiving puberty blockers.
00:11:19.460 So parents who don't want to sterilize, castrate their children, that now is grounds for a claim of child abuse.
00:11:29.200 Parents who don't want to give the kids cross-sex hormones. 0.81
00:11:33.020 Parents who don't generally want to trans the kids.
00:11:35.480 And even parents who don't support abortion.
00:11:39.580 What?
00:11:40.180 What does that even? 0.84
00:11:40.960 I understand this transgender issue has driven the leftists totally crazy. 0.91
00:11:45.000 What does abortion have to do with it? 0.99
00:11:46.520 What does abortion have to do with it? 0.99
00:11:48.480 This isn't about one issue. 0.98
00:11:50.240 This isn't about the supposed right to chop your genitals off or whatever. 0.99
00:11:54.040 This is about punishing conservatives. 0.98
00:11:58.200 It's not about the good of the child.
00:12:00.220 It's about banishing conservatives from public life.
00:12:03.160 When I gave my CPAC speech a year ago and got in all sorts of trouble for saying that transgenderism isn't true and because it's false, it doesn't help anybody. 0.56
00:12:11.680 And because it doesn't help anybody and because it's false, we should not indulge it in public life.
00:12:15.800 We should eradicate the whole ideology from public life.
00:12:18.080 I got in big trouble for that.
00:12:19.300 By the way, I'm going to be speaking at CPAC today in Washington, D.C.
00:12:22.600 Tune in.
00:12:23.260 Should be a lot of fun if you're in Washington.
00:12:25.380 If you're around CPAC, I look forward to seeing you there.
00:12:28.420 But what I said was, when it comes down to basic matters, basic declarations of truth and falsehood, fundamental questions of human nature, you can't simultaneously enshrine mutually contradictory views.
00:12:45.980 You can't violate Aristotle's law of non-contradiction.
00:12:49.200 If a man can really be a woman and a man can use the women's bathroom, then that means that men and women are not actually distinct and women don't get to have their own bathrooms. 0.54
00:12:58.400 You got to pick one.
00:12:59.080 You can't simultaneously have both.
00:13:01.420 So if it's child abuse not to trans your kids, then they're going to take your kids away. 0.99
00:13:07.540 I think it's child abuse to trans your kids, and parents who want to chop their kids' genitals off should probably lose custody of their children. 0.99
00:13:16.560 One of those views is going to win because we're talking about something so basic, so fundamental. 0.97
00:13:22.760 Their goal is to punish you for being a conservative, for holding normal views.
00:13:29.820 And if we don't have the courage to stand up for those normal views and actually enforce those views in public, say, no, actually, parents, not only are you not going to trans my kids, we're not going to let you trans your kids either because that's wrong. 0.84
00:13:43.480 If we don't stand up and say, no, we actually can know what's true, we can know what's right, and we're going to enforce it, and we're going to punish things that are wrong.
00:13:51.280 If we don't do that, then they will.
00:13:53.560 And the problem is what they're going to do is punish the truth, and they're going to punish things that are good, and they're going to exalt things that are false and evil.
00:13:59.820 Like transgenderism and infanticide through abortion. 1.00
00:14:02.420 That's what they're explicitly doing that in Illinois right now.
00:14:06.540 Are we going to stand up and have the courage of our convictions, or are we just going to try to be neutral and go along to get along and get washed away with the tide?
00:14:14.500 There is so much more to say.
00:14:16.000 First, though, go to preborn.com slash Knowles.
00:14:19.200 The miracle of life is a gift that everyone deserves because each life is precious.
00:14:25.040 That is why we've partnered with Preborn's network of clinics.
00:14:27.240 When a mother hears her baby's heartbeat, she could be twice as likely to choose life.
00:14:32.000 Preborn has rescued over 280,000 unborn babies, and every day their clinics rescue 200 unborn babies.
00:14:38.600 I met someone, and I got pregnant, and I wasn't ready.
00:14:43.480 When I was at the clinic, after they told me how far along I was and that the baby had a heartbeat,
00:14:49.880 I cried, and they gave me a minute by myself in the room.
00:14:55.100 I broke down, and I prayed to God.
00:14:57.420 I asked the Lord to, when I walk out of those doors, to just give me the strength to be able to go through the pregnancy.
00:15:04.960 Made my decision at that time.
00:15:06.520 Treasure I chose because I know that she was a gift from God, and she's just going to be a treasure.
00:15:11.820 I'm super grateful that I'm able to go down this journey with my daughter, and I'm just super glad that I didn't have an abortion.
00:15:21.380 One ultrasound is just $28.
00:15:23.620 The cost of a dinner, or you can sponsor five ultrasounds for $140, helping to rescue five unborn babies' lives.
00:15:29.480 Any amount will help.
00:15:30.520 All gifts are tax deductible.
00:15:31.980 100% of your donation will go to Saving Babies.
00:15:34.740 I really, really support this organization.
00:15:36.740 I strongly recommend you give whatever you can to donate.
00:15:40.160 Securely dial pound 250, say the keyword baby.

00:16:02.580 Speaking of home life, just sort of the silliest article I've seen in a very long time.
00:16:09.460 This is from Vice Magazine.
00:16:10.620 It says, the people buying houses with their friends.
00:16:14.980 And it's this phenomenon, they're saying, of people not, you know, usually you would buy your home with your spouse.
00:16:20.660 But they're saying, no, people aren't buying homes with their spouses right now.
00:16:23.580 People are buying homes with their friends.
00:16:25.660 And why are they doing it?
00:16:26.820 I have no doubt that this trend is actually happening, but I think Vice is wrong about what's actually driving it.
00:16:32.240 They're saying, a decade ago, this might have seemed like a far-fetched idea, but as a result of the terrible situations faced by so many renters, a new trend has emerged.
00:16:43.360 In lieu of waiting for the love of their life to come along and chip in, young people are turning to their friends and they're buying houses.
00:16:48.720 They're totally wrong.
00:16:49.880 They're wrong in the way that leftists are almost always wrong.
00:16:52.460 They're wrong in the way that Marxists are wrong.
00:16:54.260 They think that everything's about money.
00:16:55.880 They think it's all about the economy.
00:16:57.540 So they say, because we've got a weird economy and bad financial regulations on renters, people are going to start buying homes with their friends.
00:17:05.820 It has nothing to do with the economy.
00:17:07.160 It has nothing to do with money.
00:17:08.260 It has everything to do with the fact that we legally destroyed the definition of marriage seven, eight years ago, whenever that was, the Obergefell decision.
00:17:17.320 That's what it is.
00:17:19.080 And some of us at the time said, this is not going to expand rights or freedoms for anybody.
00:17:24.240 It's just going to destroy marriage.
00:17:25.780 It's not expanding marriage because marriage is a union of a man and a wife ordered toward the procreation and education of children.
00:17:33.820 And so if you try to change that definition to take away sexual difference and you try to change that definition to take away the logical possibility of children, you're not going to expand marriage.
00:17:42.560 You're just going to destroy it.
00:17:44.200 You're not going to have more people getting married. 0.98
00:17:45.520 You're going to have fewer people getting married. 0.96
00:17:46.780 You're going to have marriage mattering less in society.
00:17:49.740 And that's no good because it's the fundamental political building block.
00:17:52.200 And we've been proven right at every single step of the way.
00:17:55.220 No surprise.
00:17:55.980 You know, I hate to say I told you so.
00:17:57.440 But this is just another example of that.
00:18:00.840 Alan Keyes, we played him, the great conservative candidate who should have won.
00:18:05.560 Alan Keyes said this in a debate with Barack Obama 20 years ago.
00:18:10.300 He said, marriage will either be what it is and always has been or it just won't be relevant.
00:18:19.120 And that's what you're seeing now.
00:18:20.840 It's just not relevant.
00:18:21.880 It used to be you'd get married, then you would buy a home.
00:18:24.200 But now since marriage doesn't really matter to people, people no longer really know what marriage is.
00:18:29.280 It doesn't really mean anything in our law.
00:18:32.300 Why wouldn't you just go buy a home with your buddy or two of your buddies or three of your buddies?
00:18:35.980 What's the difference?
00:18:36.820 If marriage has ceased to be a union of a husband and a wife for the good of the spouses and the sake of the education and procreation of children,
00:18:44.640 if it can just be two fellas or two women, then why can't it be three fellas or three women? 0.94
00:18:50.200 If you take kids out of the picture in principle, then why can't it be five people?
00:18:55.020 Why can't it be a town?
00:18:56.580 What's the difference between marriage and your book club? 0.93
00:18:59.320 What's the difference between marriage and your county?
00:19:02.320 There's really no difference in principle.
00:19:05.080 There's an arbitrary limit of two people for now.
00:19:07.280 They're already trying to change that too.
00:19:09.640 So now you're going to get what?
00:19:10.700 You're going to get boarding houses. 0.91
00:19:11.840 You're going to get the long house.
00:19:12.940 That's going to be, we're going to all, I don't know, we're going to live in a wigwam or something with, is that what they're called? 0.99
00:19:18.460 A teepee, I don't know, we're going to live, we're going to live like some kinds of tribes that had very different views about things than our civilization traditionally has. 1.00
00:19:28.360 And we're going to lose all of the benefits that have come along with our civilization.
00:19:32.840 And it's going to be worse, actually, because a lot of those tribes just had not, they had not heard the gospel.
00:19:39.760 They had not had civilization reach them.
00:19:41.440 We're the ones giving up civilization, giving up basic things that we once knew we're choosing to forget.
00:19:47.820 Now, speaking of saving money, bad news for the Trump campaign.
00:19:52.700 The Trump campaign is currently spending more money than it is raising.
00:19:56.100 And the reason, of course, is that Trump is just being clobbered by these legal fees.
00:19:59.640 So Trump's campaign, spent more than it raised in January, puts pressure on outside groups that are already footing the bill for his legal troubles.
00:20:08.020 Trump's campaign raised $8.8 million.
00:20:11.120 The campaign spent $11.4 million.
00:20:14.000 That's according to recent FEC filings.
00:20:16.460 The campaign started the month with $30.4 million in cash on hand.
00:20:21.340 The biggest expense so far was almost $5 million that it spent on advertising in January, which covered Iowa and New Hampshire.
00:20:28.180 So what you're going to see as a result of this is more pressure from grassroots Republicans to get Haley out of the race.
00:20:34.860 I've said I like Nikki Haley personally, and she has every right to continue running if she wants to. 0.81
00:20:40.120 There's really no path to victory for her unless a lightning bolt hits Donald Trump. 0.83
00:20:43.420 Maybe that's what some Republicans are waiting on.
00:20:45.880 But if she still has money in the campaign coffers, she can stay in it. 0.99
00:20:48.860 And what you're going to hear from the grassroots Republicans, though, is, hey, we're donating to Trump.
00:20:55.280 We're donating to Trump in larger numbers than we're donating to you, Nikki Haley.
00:20:58.820 There's no path to victory here.
00:21:00.360 And so every dollar that is spent in the Iowa primary, every dollar that's spent—or the Iowa caucuses in the New Hampshire primary, in South Carolina,
00:21:08.180 every dollar that's spent there is a dollar being wasted because it's not going to change the outcome of the nomination, and it's going to be a dollar that you can't spend against Joe Biden.
00:21:17.500 And I totally understand that.
00:21:19.040 But the problem for those grassroots Republican donors and voters is they are not Haley's core constituency.
00:21:27.560 They are not the people who are funding Nikki Haley's campaign.
00:21:30.340 Nikki Haley's campaign, quite publicly, is being funded by larger donors, by Wall Street and by the Koch Network.
00:21:38.820 This is how Haley was able to stay in the race. 0.98
00:21:40.380 This is how Haley was able to edge Ron DeSantis out when the two of them were fighting for number two. 1.00
00:21:45.040 So not only has Haley raised a lot of money from the more established GOP donor class, but she continues to raise money.
00:21:53.600 There's a report out of the Wall Street Journal, just came out, showed that last month Haley raised almost $10 million in contributions,
00:22:00.580 and a Haley super PAC took in almost $6 million more in individual donations.
00:22:05.760 But this was thanks almost entirely to donations of $100,000 or more.
00:22:09.760 So Nikki Haley is not raising money from mom and pop on the campaign trail writing $50 to $300 checks. 1.00
00:22:17.420 Nikki Haley is raising money from Wall Street, from big financial institutions, from big entrenched establishment interests.
00:22:24.400 Okay, venture capital and business leaders were among the biggest donors to Haley's campaign.
00:22:30.720 So these new figures are making a lot of people scratch their heads, which is why are people still donating to Haley's campaign?
00:22:39.760 One, I think, is that they just really hate Donald Trump.
00:22:43.380 There are a lot of people who have voted Republican, who are more from the Mitt Romney side of the Republican Party, 0.79
00:22:48.060 more from the George Bush side, more from the John McCain side, who just freaking hate this guy.
00:22:52.760 And so $100,000 to them is nothing, and they're just going to write the check and keep her in it for a while.
00:22:59.360 Part of it is they think that Donald Trump is elderly.
00:23:02.220 I think he's a young, vibrant man, but they think he's elderly, and they think there's a chance that time takes him.
00:23:08.440 Some think that there's a chance that the law will take him.
00:23:11.240 Not the real law, but the law weaponized by the Democrats.
00:23:14.260 They think that the Democrats will succeed at pushing him out.
00:23:16.600 But there's another aspect here that few people are talking about, that Trump actually himself is talking about,
00:23:23.840 which is there's a major incentive, not just for establishment Republicans to donate to Haley,
00:23:30.580 but for Democrats to donate to Haley right now. 0.96
00:23:33.520 Because by pumping up Haley, they're able to take some of their best shots at Trump.
00:23:38.600 Speaking of ladies, Lady Ballers is the hilarious story, if I do say so myself, 1.00
00:23:43.080 of a group of losers who can't win against other men,
00:23:45.160 and they decide to identify as women and join a women's basketball league. 0.97
00:23:48.260 It's absurd, and it's happening right now in the world.
00:23:51.380 Here's a quick look at what is being called, listen, not by me, just by our publicists,
00:23:55.960 the most triggering movie of the decade.
00:23:57.420 Leftists are losing it over Lady Ballers. 1.00
00:24:01.760 Nothing's changed. 0.88
00:24:02.980 This movie is a straight-up and intentional transphobic hate crime.
00:24:07.380 What?
00:24:08.120 I see you.
00:24:09.340 The Lady Ballers movie needs to be banned.
00:24:12.300 I'll cancel you.
00:24:13.580 Go and get the blinds, please.
00:24:14.900 Toad 11.
00:24:16.160 The most toxic BS you've ever seen. 1.00
00:24:19.580 You're a monster. 1.00
00:24:20.860 Yeah. 1.00
00:24:21.540 Next-level hate speech propaganda.
00:24:23.780 That's it? That's the pitch?
00:24:24.720 Watch the most triggering comedy of the decade.
00:24:27.420 Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo. 0.73

00:24:35.260 Watch Lady Ballers, the movie that Hollywood didn't make, so we did, exclusively on Daily Wire Plus.
00:24:44.140 Nikki Haley will get out of this race when she's out of money. 1.00
00:24:47.540 A friend of mine who's very familiar with presidential campaigns pointed this out.
00:24:51.180 He said, every presidential campaign ends for the same reason, because you run out of money.
00:24:56.100 Nikki Haley is not running out of money. She's getting money. Where's that? Where's that money
00:24:59.140 coming from? Here's Trump's view. Why do you think she's staying in the race?
00:25:04.280 I don't think she knows how to get out, actually. I really don't. She did terribly in New Hampshire.
00:25:10.660 She got the only vote she got behind her. What do they think? Well, they're trying to hurt me
00:25:15.020 because of the general election. So the Democrats are giving her money and she's playing into the
00:25:19.240 game. And I think she just can't get she just can't get herself to get out. She's doing poorly
00:25:24.780 in the polls. Look, if she was doing well, I'd understand it. But she's doing very poorly. She
00:25:28.840 lost in record numbers in Iowa, record numbers in New Hampshire, Nevada. No name beat. No name. We
00:25:37.300 had no name. Two important parts to Trump's reaction here. The first is that it's Democrats. I don't
00:25:47.020 know. I haven't examined Nikki Haley's donors. Some of them are public. Some of them are not public.
00:25:50.940 Some of them we know are just anti-Trump Republicans. But yeah, I have no doubt that
00:25:56.620 some of them are Democrats. It's very smart. Right now, the Democrat nominee is deeply unpopular
00:26:02.680 and he's a national embarrassment. So if you want to attack Trump, where are you going to get the
00:26:08.600 most bang for your buck? Are you going to get the most bang for your buck by putting that money into
00:26:13.280 Joe Biden's coffers? Joe Biden, who's got an historically low approval rating, who can't form a
00:26:18.540 coherent sentence? You think your dollar is going to go very far there? I don't think so.
00:26:22.780 Put Trump and Biden next to each other. Trump's going to eat his lunch. Or while there is still
00:26:28.480 at least technically a Republican primary, do you put your money in Nikki Haley, who has a 1.00
00:26:33.020 constituency among centrist Republicans and among some independents and among center-left people,
00:26:40.300 and allow her to take the shots? She's much more attractive than Joe Biden. She's much more with it 1.00
00:26:44.900 than Joe Biden. She's much more competent than Joe Biden. She has been close to Trump. She served
00:26:51.060 in the Trump administration. She's a very talented politician. She's much younger. Yeah, of course.
00:26:57.180 So if I were a Democrat donor, yeah, I probably would do that. I'm not saying they are, but I
00:27:01.300 wouldn't be surprised if they were. The second important thing that Trump says here, though,
00:27:04.360 is he says, Nikki Haley is not getting out because she doesn't know how to get out. 0.97
00:27:08.980 But that, once again, I think undercuts one of the criticisms of Trump that is unfair, 0.88
00:27:17.240 which is that Trump, he's just a petty narcissist. He can't see anything from anyone else's point of 0.59
00:27:22.160 view. It's all just about personal adulation for him. He's not a sophisticated thinker. He's a big
00:27:27.020 dumber. That's a very thoughtful political perspective. And it's not a passionate or emotional 1.00
00:27:34.380 perspective. It's a very detached perspective. He's clearly seeing things from her point of view,
00:27:38.140 and he's saying, yeah, if I were her, I would not have an off-ramp. She needs an off-ramp to get
00:27:43.180 out of the race because she's gone this far. She's the last person standing other than the big guy
00:27:48.880 who's going to get the nomination. But she hasn't won a state. She's going to get crushed in her home 0.85
00:27:54.560 state. What's the end here? She needs some way to get out of this race in a dignified way. 1.00
00:28:00.680 But each day that goes on, it gets tougher and tougher, and she's got to dig in her heels.
00:28:03.960 So Trump doesn't have an answer for her, and he's probably just going to keep trying to clobber
00:28:08.420 her. But he can at least empathize, or at least really sympathize, say, okay, I get why she can't
00:28:13.720 get out now. This is true in all conflicts, in personal conflicts, office conflicts, international
00:28:23.540 conflicts. You've got to give your opponent a way out. It's going to ease the transition.
00:28:33.920 You can't expect them to just willingly humiliate themselves. Then you just need a total victory.
00:28:42.400 Now, for some of the never-Trumpers, Nikki Haley is much too conservative. For some of the real
00:28:47.700 never-Trump malcontents, Nikki Haley, oh, she worked for the mean orange man. He sent her to 1.00
00:28:54.280 the U.N. She, oh, she's not going to do. They need someone much, much more liberal. They need 1.00
00:28:59.440 Liz Cheney.
00:29:01.760 You still haven't ruled out a presidential run of your own in 2024, as far as I know. Are you still
00:29:06.460 considering it, or would you rule it out?
00:29:08.400 I haven't made any decisions about it yet. I'm going to do whatever is necessary to defeat Donald
00:29:12.580 Trump. But if it came down to you not running, and it's Biden versus Trump, you would support Biden?
00:29:18.840 I'm not going to make any announcements or endorsements this morning, but the most important
00:29:23.460 thing is to defeat Donald Trump, and I'll do whatever it takes to do that.
00:29:28.660 Okay. Are you ready for Liz Mentum? Are you ready? Are you ready to subscribe to the Michael
00:29:34.920 Mills YouTube channel? I was told by Mr. Davies, my producer, you've got to subscribe. Ring that bell
00:29:40.560 bell. Before I continue with my beautiful and mellifluous commentary, ring that bell.
00:29:46.300 Subscribe to the Michael Knowles YouTube channel. Appreciate it.
00:29:50.260 Liz Cheney. Will she or won't she? Who cares? It doesn't really matter.
00:29:56.320 She's the only person who really is taking this seriously at all. Even Jake Tapper there is having
00:30:02.500 trouble feigning interest. What Liz Cheney doesn't realize is that the Democrats no longer have any use 1.00
00:30:09.380 for her. Liz Cheney was useful to the Democrats when she was in Congress and Nancy Pelosi could use 0.92
00:30:16.120 her to pretend that there was even one or two Republicans on the January 6th committee. That was 0.95
00:30:24.620 useful. It was useful when she hadn't been booted out of her state Republican party. It was useful when
00:30:29.680 she actually held office. Now she's just kind of a Democrat. At least when she was in Congress, 1.00
00:30:35.000 she could say, I voted with the Republicans 90 some odd percent of the time, which is true.
00:30:39.060 She would vote with the Republicans when her vote didn't matter, when the Republican
00:30:42.800 cause was going to win anyway. On the crucial matters, that's when she would side with the
00:30:48.200 Democrats. When it came down to, okay, are you going to support the leader of your party or not
00:30:52.640 support the leader of your party? Are you going to show that this January 6th committee is just a,
00:30:57.860 sorry, January 6th committee is just a kangaroo court? Are you going to show that it's purely
00:31:02.540 Democrats? No, no, no. Then she would side with the Democrats to give the facade of a bipartisan 0.72
00:31:07.660 support, but she's useless to them now. And she's so clearly a Democrat. I mean, she says the most 0.87
00:31:14.480 important thing is to defeat Donald Trump. It's the most important thing. You've got, you have an
00:31:20.800 invasion led by Donald, by, by Joe Biden rather at the Southern border, 6 million illegal aliens pouring
00:31:26.180 into the country in just three years on top of 3 million legal immigrants. But the most important 0.85
00:31:31.680 thing is stopping the mean orange man who governed as a, basically a moderate Republican. You've got
00:31:36.560 hundreds of thousands, what is it, 700, 800,000 babies being slaughtered per year. The most important
00:31:42.220 thing is to defeat the guy who stopped that or who took the largest step we've seen in my lifetime
00:31:48.740 at stopping that and reelect the guy who encourages it. We got Democrats threatening to take your kids
00:31:57.700 away if you don't chop off their genitals and trans them, but we got to elect the guy, we got to stop 1.00
00:32:02.380 the guy who opposes that and reelect the guy who supports that. What lady, what is your North Star? 1.00
00:32:06.920 What, what are you, what principles are you defending at this point? None whatsoever. I mean, it's just the
00:32:12.140 principle of, of being clubbable among the DC elite, but they're going to throw her out because they 1.00
00:32:15.920 don't really have any use for her. The way, you know, I'm right about this other than, you know,
00:32:21.180 the fact that I said it, I think somewhat persuasively is another anti-Trump Republican
00:32:26.200 figure. Bill Barr knows what his priorities are. He's still got his head screwed on straight. Bill
00:32:31.200 Barr, former attorney general for Trump, who I think was a very good attorney general for Trump,
00:32:36.160 but he turned on Trump a little bit at the end of the administration, got out of there. He's been
00:32:39.280 critical of Trump in public since then. He's campaigned very hard against Trump. He didn't want
00:32:43.740 Trump to be the nominee in 2024. And yet he was asked the same question. Would you vote for Biden
00:32:50.160 over Trump? He goes, voting for Trump is playing Russian roulette with the country. Voting for Biden
00:32:55.440 is outright national suicide. So Barr isn't endorsing anyone right now, but the guy, he's a smart guy.
00:33:01.520 He's a reasonable person. And he says, look, I don't like Trump. I think he's wild. I don't think
00:33:06.560 it's good that he's a nominee, but Biden's the bad guy here. Let's not, let's not pretend that
00:33:12.380 Biden's the good guy. Let's not pretend that these two guys are equivalent. Trump is a risk.
00:33:17.600 Biden is national suicide. Okay. And so, so if even Bill Barr, who has been one of the leading 0.98
00:33:23.800 Trump critics for the last year can get on board, if even Ron DeSantis, who was the leading anti-Trump
00:33:29.860 candidate for most of the primary can get on board, pretty much everyone's going to get on board.
00:33:34.800 And there are going to be a handful of malcontents, you know, Liz Cheney, Bill Kristol,
00:33:39.880 I don't know, whoever these people, but you could probably count them on one hand.
00:33:44.260 The party is coalescing around Trump. You might hate Trump. You might feel indifferent. I don't
00:33:49.560 think anyone feels indifferently toward Trump, but maybe you do, but it's just a fact.
00:33:54.140 It is coalescing as many people expected that it would. Now, speaking of lots of people doing
00:34:00.380 things, lots of people were just studied in the largest COVID vaccine study yet. And you're going to
00:34:07.800 be shocked to find out, turns out that the COVID vaccine is more dangerous than we were told by
00:34:14.160 all the experts. Now we know, I have to go back through history. Our attention spans are so short
00:34:19.080 these days that you might've forgotten that initially we were told, if you get the vaccine,
00:34:25.480 you will not contract the coronavirus. Listen here, you sheep. If you listen to your sweet Supreme
00:34:33.800 leader, Ayatollah, Dr. Fauci, and you get your shot, it's going to be totally safe and totally
00:34:40.940 effective. And then what happened? Women started dying of blood clots from the shot. So they said,
00:34:44.760 all right, well, maybe it's not like totally safe. All right, we'll put a pause on that shot,
00:34:47.960 but all the other ones, they're totally safe. And then, you know, there was myocarditis and
00:34:51.780 pericarditis and Guillain-Barre syndrome and all these other side effects. They said, well,
00:34:57.140 you know what? You got to crack a few eggs to make an omelet. Anyway, don't worry. Maybe you'll die,
00:35:02.680 but you'll, it's still, the vaccine is totally effective. You won't get the virus. We were told
00:35:08.920 this by all of the leading figures. And then what happened? People got the virus. So then they
00:35:13.260 changed their story and they said, no, no, what are you talking about? We never said that you
00:35:16.120 wouldn't get the virus. What are you, why are you listening to? Delete all those videos. Then they
00:35:21.080 said, no, no, you'll get the virus. It just won't, you won't transmit it to other people.
00:35:25.080 And then what we find out, we find out you get the, not only do you get the virus,
00:35:27.920 but you would transmit it to other people, even with the vaccine. They said, okay, well,
00:35:31.000 whoops. Anyway, forget about that. No, you must've misheard me. What I was saying was you get the
00:35:36.200 vaccine and maybe you die of a blood clot or myocarditis or pericarditis or whatever.
00:35:40.080 And you'll definitely, you're probably going to get COVID and you, maybe you'll transmit it to others,
00:35:44.220 but, but it won't be as bad. And there's really no way of measuring that. So they mostly got away
00:35:49.700 with that one. But now we're finding out the side effects were, were even worse than we previously
00:35:54.460 suspected. They looked at medical issues among a hundred million people who got the COVID vax,
00:36:01.100 the Fauci ouchie. And this was the global vaccine data networks, COVID vaccine safety study. And
00:36:07.860 they were looking specifically at MR, MRNA vaxes from Pfizer, BioNTech and Moderna reported by
00:36:15.000 Bloomberg. So not exactly a right-wing outlet. They found a higher risk of myocarditis. They found an
00:36:20.920 increased type of a risk of a type of blood clot in the brain in people who got the viral vector
00:36:26.160 vaccines, such as the AstraZeneca vaccine, just not, not good stuff. And the trouble is
00:36:32.360 if you saw that news story, you saw it in passing on some right-wing site. If you heard about that,
00:36:40.280 that study, you heard about it on this show, maybe, maybe one or two others. I don't know,
00:36:44.800 probably, probably just this show and it won't matter. This is the trouble. When, when the libs
00:36:52.300 lie to us and they foist a lie on us and they force us to do things, it takes a lot of courage. It
00:37:00.580 takes a lot of political vision, takes some intellectual heft to realize that they're lying
00:37:07.940 to you. And it takes a lot of political courage to say no to them. And I'm not tooting our own horns.
00:37:13.160 I know a lot of, a lot of people out there, you know, did have that vision and they did have that
00:37:17.660 political courage. And, and whereas a lot of other people in our politics did not, just saying it
00:37:22.560 takes a lot of courage and they can threaten you and kick you out of school and they can threaten
00:37:26.180 to take your job and they can threaten to take your kids away from you for goodness sakes. And they can,
00:37:30.040 they can really make life hard for you. And all the, all the while you're thinking, well, I'll be
00:37:35.760 vindicated and that will be really great. When I am vindicated, then everyone will admit I was right.
00:37:39.860 And the thing is that time basically never comes because they'll either gaslight you and tell you
00:37:45.700 they never told you the things they told you, or they'll, they'll downplay it and say, oh, well,
00:37:51.300 no, no big deal. What's some study? It's not a big deal. Or they'll just ignore it, which is really
00:37:55.560 what will happen, which, which is why it requires even more courage. And it even, it requires even more
00:38:01.000 of the virtue of resignation to know that you will have to stand up against bad powers, you know,
00:38:07.560 principalities and powers and spiritual wickedness in high places. You will have to have the intellectual
00:38:11.160 chops to do it. You'll have to have the guts just as important, frankly, more important to actually
00:38:15.840 withstand them and know that you will never get credit for it. You will never, ever. Part of the
00:38:21.340 reason one hates to say one told you so is because one usually doesn't even get the credit for it.
00:38:27.280 Now, one thing you can get is the official Michael Knowles smells and bells candle available now at
00:38:35.260 dailywire.com slash shop. This is a top-selling candle. You probably got the pumpkin spice candle back in
00:38:43.380 the fall. Maybe you got the him candle. That's a really nice one. Well, the smells and bells, perfect
00:38:49.140 little accompaniment to your penitential season of Lent. Go head over to dailywire.com slash shop
00:38:56.280 today. My favorite comment yesterday is from Brendan, 7799, who says,
00:39:02.060 A good man, though a slave, is free. But a wicked man, though a king, is a slave. For he serves not
00:39:07.220 one man alone, but what is worse, as many masters as he has vices. Saint Augustine. I love that quote.
00:39:14.840 Funny you mention it. I just picked up City of God yesterday. I'm not sure that I've ever read all of
00:39:20.960 City of God. And so I have decided to take it all in as quick a sitting as I possibly can.
00:39:27.940 And it's been many years since I picked it up. And I hope to find many more good quotes just like
00:39:33.280 that. I'm going to prop this Lenten candle up even higher. Look at this. Lovely smells and bells candle.
00:39:40.720 Now, speaking of dangerous governments, Russia has just arrested a U.S. citizen for donating $50
00:39:46.980 to a charity that helps Ukraine. You did not mishear me. I did not say this person donated $50 million,
00:39:54.500 $50,000, $50, $50, to a charity that happens to help Ukraine. This woman's name is Ksenia Karolina.
00:40:07.080 And she donated $51.80 to Razom. That's a New York-based charity that, in part, sends assistance
00:40:13.880 to Ukraine. And she was arrested by the FSB, which is the successor group to the KGB.
00:40:18.880 She's 33 years old. She's a dual citizen, Russian and American. She had gone back to visit her family,
00:40:26.840 whereupon she was arrested. Obviously, deeply unjust. The woman, frankly, might not have even 0.95
00:40:35.660 known that the charity was giving money to Ukraine. It's $50. It's nothing. She was arrested on treason.
00:40:40.840 And the reason this happened is not because of the $50. The reason this happened is because the
00:40:46.580 United States is effectively at war with Russia. And the United States is effectively at war with
00:40:50.520 Russia because Ukraine can't defend itself against Ukrainian aggression. So we are the belligerent. 0.87
00:40:55.880 This is not some state secret here. We know that. We managed to avoid a direct conflict with Russia
00:41:00.820 for the entirety of the Cold War. And now we seem to be closer than ever for some reason.
00:41:06.060 And we're doing it because of, I think, a completely botched and stupid American foreign 1.00
00:41:11.740 policy vis-a-vis Ukraine for the past 30 years. But in any case, this is a ramping up of that war. 0.98
00:41:18.020 We are at war with Russia. And when we're at war with a country, it's usually not good to go on 0.62
00:41:23.180 tourist trips there because that country is more inclined to use you for leverage. And that's
00:41:29.020 exactly what's going on here. The woman's been arrested to force the United States to make 1.00
00:41:34.660 concessions. It is just not safe to travel as an American to Russia right now.
00:41:40.100 And I'd like to see Russia at some point. Glad they didn't abduct Tucker, but I wouldn't go right now. 0.88
00:41:47.420 This is an escalation of the war. Frankly, the fact that she only gave 50 bucks is part of the charm
00:41:56.880 for Vladimir Putin and Russia because it's an acknowledgement. Yeah, we're arresting this person
00:42:02.840 because this person is an American. And America, if you don't want us to keep up these sorts of
00:42:09.600 tricks, then end the war in Ukraine. We'll see how Biden responds. Speaking of traveling,
00:42:16.280 Tony Bobulinski. What a name. Do you recognize that name? Probably you do not. This is a story I
00:42:21.860 meant to get to last week. I do want to get to it now because it has a lot to do with the 2024 election.
00:42:26.580 Tony Bobulinski has just explained the Joe Biden shakedown enterprise to House investigators.
00:42:37.680 Bobulinski here testified that he was working on business with Hunter Biden and, quote,
00:42:44.380 the only reason any of these international business transactions took place with tens of millions of
00:42:49.240 dollars flowing directly to the Biden family was because Joe Biden was in high office. Quote,
00:42:54.180 the Biden family business was Joe Biden, period. Other key players have made this point clear as
00:42:59.860 well. Hunter Biden himself adamantly stated it in a variety of communications, as did another Biden
00:43:04.360 family business associate, Devin Archer. He was Hunter's business partner in his testimony last
00:43:08.620 year. Foreign nationals on the other side of the transactions, including from China, Ukraine,
00:43:12.880 and Romania, have also explained how and why these transactions took place. Once again, I would call that
00:43:17.400 extensive evidence. And then he goes on. He just totally brings the receipts here.
00:43:22.480 This was in closed-door testimony. That's why we just have the written testimony. We don't have
00:43:27.080 any videos of it. But I encourage you to go check it out. This whole opening statement is really,
00:43:31.660 really good. And then he takes questions from the members of Congress. We got him. Ladies and
00:43:38.420 gentlemen, we got him. We got all the goods. We got all the evidence. Okay, no one really denies this.
00:43:44.320 In a way, that's almost worse for the Republicans. Because it's all out there. They know. Maybe the
00:43:54.660 average Democrat voter doesn't know because they've never heard the name Tony Bobulinski,
00:43:58.280 because they've never heard the name Devin Archer, because they've probably never heard the name
00:44:00.900 Hunter Biden, frankly. Or if they have, they just ignore it. But the establishment knows. And it's not
00:44:07.160 enough to weaken Joe Biden to the point that they're going to take him out of the race.
00:44:09.840 So he's in it. And he's going to run pretty nakedly as a corrupt politician. And they're
00:44:18.260 going to do it. They're going to run him that way because there's no one else really to replace him.
00:44:22.740 He's not willing to give up the grip on power. And they will do anything to stop the mean orange man.
00:44:29.660 And they will do anything to stop the people who support the mean orange man.
00:44:32.920 And increasingly, you're going to see the Republican Party coalesce around the mean orange man.
00:44:36.580 So that means they're going to do anything to stop you. And what they're going to do is they're
00:44:40.200 going to be willing to prosecute you on trumped up nonsense. They're going to be willing to try to
00:44:45.040 take away your property. They're going to be willing to try to take away your kids. They are playing for
00:44:48.560 keeps here. And there's not even really the facade of fairness or legality anymore. These are very
00:44:54.880 corrupt people, very nakedly corrupt people. And we should fight them, and we should beat them, 1.00
00:45:01.560 and we should give it all we got. But we should go in with eyes wide open. This is unprecedented.
00:45:07.920 They like to say that Donald Trump is unprecedented. He's the shaking up of norms.
00:45:11.160 This is the unprecedented stuff. And we ought to proceed knowing that fact. Now, speaking of
00:45:17.040 proceeding with things, doctors are proceeding with illegal IVF sales in Alabama. You remember,
00:45:24.480 I mentioned on the show yesterday, there's a wonderful story out of Alabama. The Alabama Supreme Court
00:45:29.340 pointed out that human beings are human beings from the moment of conception, because conception just
00:45:36.820 means the beginning. And there are human beings in the womb, and there are human beings even outside
00:45:42.040 of the womb, because we used to not even have these embryos outside of the womb. But because of the
00:45:47.260 advance of technology, there's a new industry, and it's the IVF and surrogacy industry that treats
00:45:51.300 babies as commodities to buy and sell on an open market. And the judge in the case said, look,
00:45:57.020 just by the sheer language of the Alabama Supreme Court, this is unconstitutional. We need to treat
00:46:03.880 these people as people. They're people. They're human beings, unique human beings. So that bans the
00:46:10.120 surrogacy industry in Alabama. Well, the rules aren't given up that easy. There's a headline,
00:46:16.740 so upset. Doctors and patients fearfully proceed with IVF after Alabama court rules that embryos are
00:46:22.720 children. What else are they? What are the customers in the IVF industry purchasing if
00:46:27.800 they're not purchasing children? Trust me, the customers in the IVF industry, in the surrogacy
00:46:33.080 industry, know better than anybody that the embryo is a child. That's what they're buying. That's the
00:46:37.180 product. So they know it. They're not upset that the court ruled that the embryos are children.
00:46:41.740 They already know that. They're upset that they ruled that you can't buy children, and you can't
00:46:45.080 treat children like commodities and objects to be used as mere instruments for your own
00:46:49.200 satisfaction. That's what's going on. And so these crooks, these very, very immoral businessmen,
00:47:00.120 I won't even call them doctors. They're immoral businessmen selling people. They're going to 1.00
00:47:03.880 proceed anyway. Okay, well, I hope that they're prosecuted under the law in accordance with the
00:47:07.640 laws of Alabama and the Alabama Supreme Court and the Alabama state constitution. But what this really
00:47:14.320 proves to me is that these liberals don't take conservative rulings seriously. They don't take
00:47:19.360 the law very seriously because they know that the law is just words on paper, and the law is only going
00:47:25.020 to be as strong as the conviction and power of the people who are going to enforce it. And they don't
00:47:30.900 think they're going to have to be held to account. The question for us is, can we hold them to account?
