The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1438 - The FBI Arrests Blaze Reporter Over “January Sixth” Reporting

00:00:00.000 A conservative journalist has been arrested by the FBI for reporting on January 6th.

00:00:06.580 The journalist is Steve Baker of The Blaze, and not only was he arrested,

00:00:11.640 he was perp-walked, even after turning himself in to authorities.

00:00:15.480 The FBI's actions are particularly strange, since according to Steve Baker,

00:00:19.940 his lawyers were assured by the government that it would be an in-and-out affair,

00:00:24.600 and that they had no intention of detaining him.

00:00:27.060 According to Mr. Baker, the FBI went so far as to tell him to arrive in shorts and sandals.

00:00:32.580 That's how casual it was all going to be.

00:00:35.040 But since we all know how the FBI has been corrupted to target conservatives in recent years,

00:00:40.600 Steve had the good sense to distrust the feds and to wear a suit and tie,

00:00:44.960 which was wise since the feds instead gave him the personal humiliation treatment.

00:00:51.980 None of this should be a surprise to conservatives who might remember

00:00:55.520 how the FBI spied on Fox News' James Rosen during the Obama administration,

00:00:59.960 even going so far as to describe James as a criminal co-conspirator,

00:01:05.300 despite never charging him with a crime.

00:01:07.160 Or how the Obama administration spied on Cheryl Atkinson of CBS,

00:01:11.940 allegedly, as she was reporting on the Fast and Furious scandal.

00:01:16.240 The irony of it all is that despite the Libs' constant bleeding over threats to the free press

00:01:21.940 and all the serious attacks on the press in recent memory

00:01:25.700 have been against conservative journalists

00:01:28.260 who dared to shed light on the misdeeds of the liberal establishment.

00:01:32.520 Just as all actual threats to the Constitution in recent years,

00:01:35.800 in recent decades actually,

00:01:37.400 have been attacks by that same liberal establishment,

00:01:39.920 which understands better than conservatives

00:01:42.400 that the true lowercase c Constitution that governs us

00:01:46.120 is rather different from the capital C Constitution

00:01:49.260 we all learned about in school.

00:01:51.820 According to the capital C Constitution,

00:01:54.280 we have a free press.

00:01:56.080 Under our actual Constitution,

00:01:58.500 conservative journalists who contradict the party line

00:02:01.000 get perp-walked for doing their job.

00:02:03.580 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:02:25.480 A Democrat state senator in Kentucky, Karen Berg, 0.67

00:02:35.420 Rather than restrict the child sex dolls, 0.87

00:03:49.060 You want to talk about our real constitution,

00:03:51.720 the lowercase c constitution

00:03:52.940 that makes up how we actually live our lives?

00:03:56.280 Google is finally responding to the outcry

00:04:00.020 after its new AI tool, Google Gemini,

00:04:02.340 erased white people from history.

00:04:04.160 Remember that?

00:04:05.260 There were other AI bots,

00:04:06.960 but the Google AI bot, Gemini,

00:04:10.880 uniquely decided to write white people,

00:04:14.040 and specifically white men,

00:04:15.280 out of history, out of professions,

00:04:16.920 out of everything, out of life.

00:04:19.360 And people made fun of this. 0.90

00:04:21.100 Elon Musk said it was completely ridiculous.

00:04:23.220 He called a lot of attention to it.

00:04:24.620 And Google scrambled.

00:04:26.060 They sort of took part of it offline.

00:04:28.260 They said, okay, we've got to work to fix this now.

00:04:30.420 According to Bloomberg,

00:04:32.180 who have sources familiar with the matter,

00:04:35.340 Google is desperately implementing technical fixes

00:04:38.640 in Gemini to reduce racial and gender bias

00:04:41.880 against white people and men in its outputs,

00:04:44.860 but failed to fully anticipate

00:04:46.800 how the image generator could misfire in certain contexts.

00:04:50.740 This is so fake.

00:04:52.460 This is such a lie from Google

00:04:55.080 and whatever sources here are speaking to Bloomberg.

00:04:57.780 Nothing about Google Gemini was a misfire.

00:05:00.480 Nothing about Google Gemini was a mistake.

00:05:02.700 None of this should have taken anyone by surprise.

00:05:07.600 This is what Google Gemini was built to do.

00:05:10.940 The head of Google Gemini is this guy,

00:05:12.880 Jack Krautschek.

00:05:14.680 I can't, I'm not pronouncing his name correctly,

00:05:16.280 but it's some Eastern European pronunciation.

00:05:18.180 This guy is the Gemini Experiences,

00:05:20.280 Senior Director of Product Management.

00:05:21.760 Here's just a little, little handful of this guy's tweets

00:05:27.320 compiled by leftism4u.

00:05:29.660 And even Elon, I think, posted one of these.

00:05:33.480 Jack Krautschek, the guy from Gemini.

00:05:36.960 White privilege is effing real. 0.98

00:05:38.760 Don't be an a-hole and act guilty about it. 0.98

00:05:40.480 Do your part in recognizing bias at all levels of egregious.

00:05:45.180 Now you might say, okay, Michael,

00:05:46.220 are you just pulling tweets from 10, 15 years ago?

00:05:49.540 Maybe this doesn't represent what this guy thinks right now.

00:05:51.760 No, this is from 2018.

00:05:53.780 Here's another one.

00:05:55.560 It's been a few hours,

00:05:56.500 and it still feels like today's inauguration speech

00:05:58.080 will go down as one of the greatest ever.

00:06:01.100 Acknowledging systemic racism,

00:06:03.760 reiterating the American ideal as a dream for the world,

00:06:06.360 but we've got to work on it.

00:06:07.340 America's back.

00:06:08.120 Okay, that was 2020.

00:06:09.020 That was just four years ago.

00:06:12.220 This is America where racism is the number one value

00:06:14.740 our populace seeks to uphold above all.

00:06:17.780 I don't mind paying more taxes

00:06:19.460 and investing in overcoming systemic racism.

00:06:22.760 At one point, he says,

00:06:24.440 Jesus only cares about white kids. 0.99

00:06:26.500 I'm pretty sure that's in the Bible.

00:06:27.700 Let's confirm with Jeff Sessions.

00:06:29.520 So alternately, blasphemous,

00:06:31.740 and I guess he's really just making a point

00:06:33.460 about conservatives like Jeff Sessions.

00:06:35.580 He goes,

00:06:35.860 I've experienced none of these things

00:06:37.540 being a white man in America.

00:06:39.200 We obviously have egregious racism in this country,

00:06:41.780 blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:06:42.440 Then Elon pulled one.

00:06:45.400 This is from October 21st, 2020.

00:06:47.600 This is the head of the Google AI.

00:06:50.120 I've been crying in intermittent bursts

00:06:52.400 for the past 24 hours since casting my ballot.

00:06:55.620 Feeling in that Biden-Harris line felt cathartic.

00:06:58.240 Okay.

00:06:58.420 I mentioned this line on Thursday or Friday,

00:07:02.640 maybe both last week.

00:07:04.040 And you know, I hate to say I told you so.

00:07:05.880 It wasn't that I pulled out my Nolstradamus crystal ball,

00:07:08.140 but it just was proven correct within three days,

00:07:11.420 which is,

00:07:12.160 personnel is policy.

00:07:15.400 We, especially conservatives,

00:07:17.340 we have too much trust and confidence in documents.

00:07:21.760 We have too much trust and confidence

00:07:24.560 in the way things used to be,

00:07:26.420 in the way institutions used to be run,

00:07:28.540 according to the bylaws and all the little statutes.

00:07:31.760 And all of that,

00:07:34.220 without people to actually implement them correctly,

00:07:38.220 all of that's worth nothing.

00:07:40.720 Okay.

00:07:40.940 The real constitution that governs us

00:07:42.980 is the way that we all act and behave,

00:07:45.820 the way the laws are actually applied and enforced.

00:07:47.800 And that comes down to people. 0.96

00:07:49.420 When Google hires a bunch of crazy leftists, 0.98

00:07:52.620 the inevitable result of that 0.98

00:07:54.600 will be crazy leftism in the product.

00:07:57.420 Period.

00:07:58.200 Punto y basta.

00:07:59.000 End of discussion.

00:08:00.520 So you hire this wacky guy,

00:08:02.060 and then you get this wacky bot 0.99

00:08:03.520 that hates white people and hates men 1.00

00:08:05.140 and probably hates America. 1.00

00:08:06.520 And then Google says,

00:08:07.300 oh no, we've got to fix this.

00:08:08.260 You shouldn't have to fix anything.

00:08:11.420 The bot is doing exactly what it was designed to do.

00:08:13.640 You want to fix it? 0.88

00:08:14.580 Fire all these people. 0.98

00:08:15.560 But you're not going to do that, 0.81

00:08:16.580 so the thing's not going to get fixed.

00:08:17.960 So why are we even pretending?

00:08:19.800 You want to talk about

00:08:20.780 things doing what they were designed to do

00:08:23.960 and radical leftism.

00:08:26.020 Do you know how much money

00:08:26.820 Transheiser Bush lost in that boycott

00:08:29.200 over Dylan Mulvaney

00:08:30.540 and the embrace of transgenderism?

00:08:32.340 The numbers are in.

00:08:33.540 It's been almost exactly one year.

00:08:35.960 Transheiser Bush lost $1.4 billion

00:08:37.940 over the Dylan Mulvaney sponsorship.

00:08:40.840 That is according to the parent company, obviously,

00:08:44.240 but it was driven primarily by Bud Light.

00:08:48.180 According to the latest report,

00:08:50.880 the fourth quarter Transheiser Bush report,

00:08:53.720 revenue declined by 17.3%

00:08:56.200 with sales to retailers down by 12.1%,

00:08:59.460 primarily due to the volume decline of Bud Light.

00:09:02.220 Sales to wholesalers, STWs,

00:09:04.440 declined by 16.1%

00:09:06.440 as shipments lagged stronger depletions in December.

00:09:09.520 Okay, so they got absolutely destroyed

00:09:13.540 over a billion,

00:09:14.400 almost a billion and a half dollars

00:09:15.980 in revenue declining

00:09:18.720 because conservatives said,

00:09:20.480 no, we're not going to buy your pro-trans beer.

00:09:23.060 This is a bridge too far.

00:09:24.040 You're insulting your customer base.

00:09:25.720 You're upending basic norms.

00:09:27.320 You're denying biological reality

00:09:30.060 and the natural law.

00:09:30.920 No thanks, we're out.

00:09:32.020 We'll go drink Modelo or something.

00:09:34.780 That's good.

00:09:36.100 And now you're hearing some conservative voices

00:09:38.620 who have received huge payouts

00:09:40.420 from Transheiser Bush

00:09:41.420 trying to say that we need to end the boycott.

00:09:44.540 I'm fine in principle

00:09:46.640 with ending the boycott at some point.

00:09:49.360 The point of a boycott,

00:09:50.920 the point of all political action

00:09:52.040 is to cause some political consequence to take place.

00:09:56.540 So the only way that you're going to incentivize

00:10:01.220 that political consequence that you want

00:10:02.800 is to have a stick and a carrot.

00:10:04.940 The stick is we're going to stop buying your product.

00:10:07.480 The carrot is we might start buying your product again

00:10:09.380 if you get back in line.

00:10:11.260 So you need both of those things.

00:10:13.080 And that's why in principle,

00:10:14.020 I have no problem ending the boycott.

00:10:15.260 Once they apologize,

00:10:17.880 they have to apologize.

00:10:19.260 And I know that there are a number

00:10:20.200 of very prominent conservatives,

00:10:21.340 some people who even helped to lead

00:10:23.260 the boycott of Transheiser Bush,

00:10:24.720 they've come out and said,

00:10:25.560 okay, go buy Transheiser Bush again

00:10:26.900 because they all got fat paychecks,

00:10:28.920 bribes from Transheiser Bush 0.59

00:10:30.680 to get all of the conservatives

00:10:32.300 to end the boycott.

00:10:33.320 Well, I'm glad that they got their bag.

00:10:35.340 I'm glad that they're counting fat stacks

00:10:37.140 from the Transheiser Bush Corporation,

00:10:39.280 but that's not going to work for us.

00:10:42.340 It doesn't work for me.

00:10:43.240 I didn't get paid off by Transheiser Bush. 0.98

00:10:44.860 I frankly, it depends.

00:10:45.980 I don't know.

00:10:46.180 They offer me $100 million or something.

00:10:47.960 Maybe I'd consider, you know,

00:10:49.080 having a sip or two of Bud Light

00:10:50.260 every now and again.

00:10:51.140 But even then, I don't know that I would,

00:10:53.400 I wouldn't be inclined to take it in principle

00:10:55.620 because they didn't admit any wrongdoing really.

00:10:59.060 They need to admit they were wrong.

00:11:01.800 Okay, and certainly if they're just going to bribe

00:11:03.660 a handful of conservative celebrities

00:11:05.020 and then leave the rest of us out to dry,

00:11:06.420 we have absolutely no incentive whatsoever

00:11:08.300 to go back and embrace Transheiser Bush and Bud Light.

00:11:13.380 Uh-uh, ain't going to happen.

00:11:15.000 They need to come out and apologize and say,

00:11:16.940 we are sorry that we embraced transgenderism.

00:11:21.560 We won't do it again.

00:11:23.280 It was wrong of us to do.

00:11:25.800 You know, frankly, what I want them to do?

00:11:27.040 I want Bud Light to post my 2023 CPAC speech.

00:11:32.380 I want, that's where I would like this to go.

00:11:34.320 I want this to be so clear.

00:11:36.520 They say for the good of society,

00:11:38.380 especially for the good of the poor people

00:11:39.860 who've fallen prey to this confusion, 0.98

00:11:41.200 transgenderism must be eradicated 1.00

00:11:42.700 from public life entirely. 0.99

00:11:43.860 The whole preposterous ideology at every level.

00:11:45.760 That's what I want.

00:11:46.600 At that point, I'll buy Bud Light again, okay?

00:11:50.060 But if all you're going to do is bribe a handful

00:11:52.300 of already wealthy, famous conservatives,

00:11:55.420 uh-uh, ain't going to work.

00:11:57.140 What's the point of that?

00:11:58.080 We've shown that the boycott can work.

00:12:01.580 So take it all the way.

00:12:03.160 Don't, you know, don't cave at 97%

00:12:06.180 towards your political goal. 0.97

00:12:07.780 Be crazy. 0.89

00:12:08.520 Speaking of boycotts,

00:12:10.080 we have a new couple of companies

00:12:11.440 we need to boycott.

00:12:13.940 Very, very sad story.

00:12:15.460 The two biggest pharmacy retailers

00:12:17.900 in the United States, CVS and Walgreens,

00:12:21.740 have just announced that they will start

00:12:23.000 selling the abortion pill.

00:12:24.200 I'm not talking about the birth control pill.

00:12:26.920 I'm not talking about contraception.

00:12:28.360 I'm not even talking about Plan B,

00:12:30.300 which is an abortifacient drug.

00:12:32.320 I'm talking about mifepristone.

00:12:36.160 I'm talking about the abortion drug 0.51

00:12:39.640 that is now used in most abortions

00:12:42.420 in the United States,

00:12:43.400 where women ingest poison 1.00

00:12:44.980 and it poisons the baby

00:12:46.120 and it causes them to,

00:12:48.640 it causes the baby to die

00:12:50.140 and then they miscarry

00:12:52.600 and they don't have to raise a baby

00:12:55.220 or give the baby up for adoption

00:12:57.940 or anything else. 1.00

00:13:01.440 Just kills the baby. 0.99

00:13:03.020 Okay, why are they doing this? 0.99

00:13:05.060 They're doing this because the culture

00:13:06.160 has moved radically pro-abortion.

00:13:08.340 What are we going to do about it?

00:13:09.560 Well, I don't know.

00:13:10.400 It's going to be very tough

00:13:11.340 because between CVS and Walgreens,

00:13:13.880 you're talking about 19,000 retail locations.

00:13:17.500 They're the two biggest ones in the country.

00:13:19.340 So it doesn't mean that there are no alternatives.

00:13:21.260 There are alternatives.

00:13:22.740 But conservatives will have to be very specific

00:13:26.260 about the alternatives they use.

00:13:27.700 So there's Walmart.

00:13:28.840 Walmart's not selling the abortion drug.

00:13:30.680 Rite Aid, not selling the abortion drug.

00:13:32.420 Kroger, major grocery store.

00:13:35.000 Albertson's, major grocery store.

00:13:36.480 Amerisource Bergen.

00:13:37.680 Publix, another major grocery store.

00:13:39.800 McKesson and Costco.

00:13:41.740 Costco, another major store.

00:13:43.700 If you add up all of those retailers together,

00:13:46.660 you get about 16,000 stores.

00:13:48.640 16,000 stores is still less than,

00:13:52.280 though it's getting closer to,

00:13:54.900 just the two chains, CVS and Walgreens.

00:13:58.760 Now, CVS and Walgreens are not introducing

00:14:01.480 the abortion drug in every one of their stores.

00:14:03.420 They're doing it just in select locations.

00:14:05.280 So they know this is controversial.

00:14:07.240 They know people might not like this.

00:14:08.820 There is still a decent chance

00:14:10.240 that they could reverse this policy.

00:14:12.680 The only way for that to happen

00:14:14.580 is for there to be a concerted,

00:14:17.780 pro-life, conservative boycott

00:14:19.940 of CVS and Walgreens.

00:14:21.980 Very, very difficult.

00:14:23.280 It's easy to launch a successful boycott

00:14:25.780 when we're talking about this, 0.96

00:14:27.760 the most ridiculous issue in the entire country, 0.97

00:14:30.760 the notion that a man can become a woman. 0.96

00:14:32.260 That brings a lot of people together. 0.98

00:14:34.460 And then you've got this most ridiculous caricature 0.96

00:14:37.620 of a political activist, Dylan Mulvaney, 0.97

00:14:39.700 who's the face of the thing.

00:14:40.520 And then you've got a huge mismatch

00:14:42.380 of product and sponsorship.

00:14:44.960 You've got this,

00:14:45.600 does it get any more incongruous than Bud Light,

00:14:49.540 which is a beer for construction workers and frat boys,

00:14:53.200 and then Dylan Mulvaney,

00:14:54.580 who's prancing around pretending to be a chick? 1.00

00:14:56.900 No, of course.

00:14:57.600 So that was the perfect boycott.

00:15:00.020 That's why it was a natural boycott.

00:15:01.260 That was an inevitable boycott.

00:15:03.200 This one, much less so,

00:15:04.420 much harder to boycott a pharmacy,

00:15:06.780 much less two pharmacies,

00:15:07.920 much less the two biggest pharmacies in the country.

00:15:10.040 People just get their drugs at these places.

00:15:12.240 There aren't a ton of options everywhere.

00:15:13.720 In any case, though,

00:15:15.220 if conservatives are able to launch

00:15:19.020 an even somewhat successful boycott of CVS and Walgreens,

00:15:22.860 and just, you go to the other places,

00:15:23.880 you go to Walmart, you go to Rite Aid,

00:15:25.120 you go to Kroger, you go to Publix,

00:15:27.460 you go to wherever.

00:15:27.960 However, this issue is far more important,

00:15:32.580 because here we're not just talking about some beer company embracing sexual deviancy.

00:15:37.760 Here we're talking about major drug retailers killing kids

00:15:41.400 and becoming complicit in the majority of infanticide cases in the United States.

00:15:47.600 That's a much bigger deal.

00:15:49.660 There is so much more to say.

00:16:55.740 Speaking of weird sex stuff, weirdest, creepiest clip that went over the internet all weekend.

00:17:03.080 I'm not, there was a lot of weird sex stuff that went around the internet. 0.98

00:17:05.940 There's that young blonde actress lady who was jiggling her breasts, you know, 1.00

00:17:09.480 and I'm not even covering, I don't really know what to cover on that story from Saturday Night Live.

00:17:13.480 That, no, that, perfectly wholesome compared to some of the other clips that went around.

00:17:20.380 Notably, this clip from Senator Karen Berg of Kentucky.

00:17:24.680 She's a Democrat, you'll be shocked to hear. 0.99

00:17:26.380 She is suggesting that perhaps we ought to allow pedophiles to buy child sex dolls. 0.99

00:17:35.720 I was completely unfamiliar with child sex dolls. 0.98

00:17:39.720 So I had, of course, to Google it last night.

00:17:42.540 I was a little scared to put it in my search engine, but I did.

00:17:45.660 And apparently, there is research on the subject.

00:17:49.960 Not much, not much.

00:17:51.740 But there are what they call MEPS, minor attracted persons.

00:17:58.360 And the limited amount of research that's done on these dolls, guys,

00:18:04.380 suggests that they actually, for people who are attracted to minors,

00:18:12.360 that these dolls actually decrease their proclivity to go out and attack children.

00:18:23.940 You can see the rest of the panel.

00:18:25.280 But it actually gives them a release that makes them less likely to go outside of their home.

00:18:33.120 Okay, she goes on.

00:18:34.100 She ends up saying, look, guys, this is conclusive.

00:18:36.360 It's kind of funny that she would, initially, she opens up, she goes,

00:18:39.020 look, all these scientific studies, they're not perfect.

00:18:42.940 There are very few data points to even reference here.

00:18:46.360 And it's kind of dodgy science.

00:18:48.180 They say, but this is conclusive. 0.98

00:18:49.340 And that's why we need to create child sex dolls for pedos. 1.00

00:18:53.180 And the crazy part about this clip is everyone is cringing in this room. 0.99

00:18:58.660 Everyone in the Kentucky State Senate, they're saying, oh, lady, what are you? 0.76

00:19:02.420 Oh, this is so disgusting. 0.90

00:19:04.320 This is so awful. 0.98

00:19:05.460 But what that woman is articulating is a common misunderstanding of how desire works. 1.00

00:19:13.320 Child sex dolls for pedos are repulsive and intrinsically evil. 1.00

00:19:17.960 It is intrinsically evil for the pedos to do to the child sex dolls whatever they're going to do. 0.99

00:19:23.860 Even if this woman wants to make some consequentialist argument that actually it will reduce predation on actual children if the pedos get to, 1.00

00:19:32.640 it's just still intrinsically disgusting and evil for the pedos to do whatever they're going to do to the child sex dolls. 0.98

00:19:40.180 But this is how many people think of desire. 0.95

00:19:42.040 Probably this is how most people think of desire these days because we live in the wake of Sigmund Freud.

00:19:46.000 And we live at a time when we are told that if you have any desire whatsoever, it's going to build up inside you like a steam engine.

00:19:56.400 And that's why every so often, if you don't want to go crazy and explode, you've got to just blow off a little steam.

00:20:03.360 That's what she's saying.

00:20:04.160 She's saying these pedos, they're born this way. 0.83

00:20:06.880 There's nothing they can do about their desires.

00:20:09.060 That's building up and building up.

00:20:10.460 And so they've got to blow off a little steam.

00:20:11.660 And better they blow off the steam with the doll than with an actual child.

00:20:15.760 The problem is that's not how desire works at all.

00:20:18.980 That idea, which is associated with and comes from Freud, develops because of the technology of the time.

00:20:27.580 Very often, we map our understanding of human nature and the human psyche onto the technology of the time.

00:20:34.060 So today, we talk about the brain like it's a computer because the computer is the chief technology of our time.

00:20:39.560 So we talk about uploading our consciousness.

00:20:42.200 We talk about downloading information.

00:20:44.420 We talk about how we just got to process information faster, just like a computer.

00:20:48.440 But 100 years ago, 130, 40 years ago, the chief technology was the steam engine.

00:20:54.020 And so we talk about how you've just got these desires building up in your mind, and you've got to just blow off a little steam or else you're liable to explode.

00:21:00.820 But it isn't true.

00:21:03.480 Actually, the ancients were much wiser than Freud and the modern people.

00:21:09.380 And our civilization, as it had always understood desire, was much more correct than the people over the last hundred or so years.

00:21:18.600 Desire is a matter of habit.

00:21:21.460 Maybe people are born with certain inclinations.

00:21:23.740 I'm not denying that.

00:21:24.940 Even for the pedos.

00:21:25.840 I don't know, probably something just went terribly wrong in their lives.

00:21:30.180 And there are huge associations with kids who were abused, later developing these kinds of extremely disordered desires.

00:21:37.780 But I don't know, maybe let's just take this woman at a word and say there's some kind of innate inclination here or something like that.

00:21:44.140 Even if that were the case, desire either deepens or begins to turn as a matter of habit.

00:21:53.820 So the more you indulge a disordered desire, a perverse desire, the more disordered, the more perverse, the more intense it's going to become.

00:22:01.440 And the less you indulge it and the more you cultivate other desires, the more virtuous and orderly your desire is going to become.

00:22:08.160 It's like habits.

00:22:10.220 It's not like a steam engine.

00:22:11.740 It's more like a fire.

00:22:12.860 If you feed the fire, if you keep throwing wood into the fire, the fire is going to get bigger and bigger and bigger.

00:22:18.600 It's like a wolf.

00:22:20.740 You feed the wolf, the wolf is going to get used to that food.

00:22:24.680 The wolf is going to get hungrier and bigger and stronger.

00:22:27.140 Whatever cliche metaphor you want for this.

00:22:31.440 Desire is habit.

00:22:32.540 And desires actually can change.

00:22:33.540 You're not allowed to say that anymore because the libs call that conversion therapy. 1.00

00:22:37.140 It's kind of funny.

00:22:37.720 They say you can't ever change your sexual desires in any way, but you can change your sex.

00:22:42.260 You can go from being a boy to a girl, but you can't go from being like a kind of a pervy guy to a less pervy guy.

00:22:47.740 That's impossible.

00:22:49.200 But of course our desires do change, even beyond sex stuff.

00:22:52.300 Our desires for food.

00:22:54.020 If you eat a lot of sweets, you're going to want to eat a lot more sweets.

00:22:56.640 If you give up sweets for a month or two, you're probably not going to be as desirous of sweets anymore.

00:23:00.820 Maybe you'll eat some healthier foods.

00:23:02.280 This is true of habits.

00:23:02.960 It's true of exercise.

00:23:03.920 It's true of work ethic.

00:23:04.680 It's true of everything.

00:23:05.880 That's just true of human nature.

00:23:08.420 The more we stick with this steam engine kind of view of human nature, the more pervy the country is going to get. 0.69

00:23:16.920 We're going to get a country of people living under Senator Karen Berg who are doing weirder and weirder things for sex dolls. 1.00

00:23:24.500 And eventually the dolls aren't going to do it because there's no substitute for the real thing. 0.64

00:23:27.700 There is so much more to say.

00:23:29.240 First though, go to foodforthepoor.org slash knolls.

00:24:32.020 That is foodforthepoor.org slash knolls.

00:24:35.900 Speaking of liberal women speaking at public forum, there was a purple-haired mother who just showed up to a public hearing to describe how the issue of transgenderism is very, very dear to her because she has not one but two trans children.

00:24:55.980 I have been a resident of Kansas for the last 20 years.

00:25:00.520 I have four children, two girls, two boys.

00:25:04.700 My oldest is my transgender daughter, and my youngest is an 11-year-old transgender boy.

00:25:12.080 Both of my boys, both of my children have been diagnosed with gender dysphoria, and both are currently receiving gender-affirming care.

00:25:20.140 Through this care, my husband and my consent has always been required.

00:25:24.460 They have asked my children what they envision their bodies looking like as an adult, and never once did they mention surgery to my children.

00:25:38.400 We are well aware of what is going on with our children.

00:25:43.800 It is not the government's job to decide on the best medical care for citizens.

00:25:48.860 What are the odds that a woman who has green and purple hair would have transgender children? 0.94

00:26:10.060 I think the odds are 100%, actually.

00:26:12.700 I think it's approaching 100%.

00:26:15.840 Some conservatives, and even psychologists, Jordan Peterson pointed out, he said the statistical odds that you would have not one but two,

00:26:24.480 that anyone would have not one but two transgender children, are something like one in nine million.

00:26:29.580 But even that isn't true.

00:26:31.360 Even that isn't true.

00:26:32.320 Jordan's point is a very good one, but even that is overstating the odds.

00:26:36.240 The odds that you would have any transgender children are zero because that isn't real. 1.00

00:26:42.520 Because there's no such thing as a transgender child. 1.00

00:26:44.820 Because there's no such thing as a transgender person. 1.00

00:26:46.680 Because transgenderism is a false anthropology. 1.00

00:26:49.360 Because a boy can't really be a girl. 0.99

00:26:51.340 Because our identity has at least something to do with our body.

00:26:55.200 We're not just free-floating spirits who are imprisoned in some awful shell of a body that's disconnected to our identity.

00:27:02.060 That's not actually how it works.

00:27:03.440 So the odds of that are zero, of having even one transgender child.

00:27:08.900 The odds of having two are also zero. 0.98

00:27:11.940 And the odds of an obviously insane liberal woman abusing her children in this way are very high. 1.00

00:27:21.000 Very, very high. 0.93

00:27:22.820 I was wondering, when I first saw it, I said, maybe I'm being closed-minded here.

00:27:27.520 Is it possible that transgenderism is a heritable trait? 0.99

00:27:32.980 It's inherited through, say, the epigenetics of the purple hair dye.

00:27:36.660 Is that how it works?

00:27:38.440 Must be.

00:27:39.680 Must be.

00:27:40.220 That's the only explanation for why all these green and purple-haired ladies all of a sudden have developed transgender children. 1.00

00:27:48.200 Because 20 years ago, this never happened.

00:27:51.580 What's weird is there were always witches.

00:27:54.500 There were always, sorry, let me rephrase that.

00:27:56.540 There were always very liberal women out there. 1.00

00:27:59.320 Very left-wing, angry, liberal women. 1.00

00:28:03.140 And yet, they would mess up their kids in all sorts of ways.

00:28:06.780 But they didn't have transgender kids.

00:28:09.420 No one really had transgender children because that was not a social phenomenon.

00:28:14.220 There were always people who were a little bit confused about their sex.

00:28:16.680 And there have been eunuchs in all sorts of societies and all sorts of deviances.

00:28:20.580 But the explosion of transgenderism, specifically among the youth, the fact that one in five Zoomers identify as LGBT.

00:28:30.420 We're obviously not even taking polls yet.

00:28:31.900 Of the next generation, Generation Alpha.

00:28:34.220 The fact that in a matter of just a few years, transgender identity would explode 300% among young people.

00:28:42.560 But not among older people.

00:28:43.620 It would seem to suggest that this is a little bit more of an ideological fad and a social phenomenon.

00:28:48.680 And guess who's driving it?

00:28:49.840 Do you think the people driving it are going to be the traditional family out in Palookaville with eight children who homeschool, who go to church on Sunday, who all eat dinner together?

00:29:00.660 No, I think the incidence of transgender identity in those families is probably exactly 0%.

00:29:06.380 And yet, when you look at the liberal families, especially on the coasts, but even in the middle of the country like that woman, with the mothers who have the crazy colored hair, who believe all sorts of BS, who have the little sign in the front yard.

00:29:18.080 In this house, we believe in science.

00:29:19.520 And we also believe boys can be girls.

00:29:21.140 And we also believe in blah, blah, blah. 0.97

00:29:23.060 The sun monster is going to kill us all. 0.55

00:29:24.220 Or whatever they say they believe in. 0.98

00:29:25.420 It's weird because in those families, in the divorced families, in the extremely sexually deviant families, it's weird that the incidence of transgenderism is so much higher. 0.97

00:29:36.040 What are the odds?

00:29:38.220 What are the odds?

00:29:39.080 I guess we need to follow the science.

00:29:40.620 We need to investigate somehow.

00:29:41.940 You want to talk about weird, creepy investigations?

00:29:44.740 NBC News has just conducted an investigation into, well, I guess tying in all of these stories into fake AI underage pornography.

00:29:58.640 So I guess the last three or four stories we've been talking about.

00:30:00.720 NBC News just did an investigation.

00:30:03.040 And what they discovered is that fake nude photos with the faces of underage celebrities are at the top of many search engine results.

00:30:15.700 These images feature the faces of well-known child celebrities under the age of 18 onto an adult naked body.

00:30:25.000 Two of the top 10 image results for the term fake nudes on Microsoft's Bing, who searches on Bing?

00:30:32.340 I don't know.

00:30:32.640 I don't know if people really searched on Bing.

00:30:33.940 But it's not even just Google.

00:30:34.860 It's Bing, too.

00:30:35.920 Were sexually explicit deepfakes of female celebrities from between the ages of 12 and 15, according to a review conducted by NBC News.

00:30:43.880 What does this tell us?

00:30:44.880 First of all, they're so shocked.

00:30:46.460 NBC is so shocked that after encouraging a culture that says do whatever you want sexually, it's fine.

00:30:52.140 If it's on the internet, it's no big deal.

00:30:53.660 If it's just simulated, there's no problem. 0.99

00:30:55.600 Why not give the pedos child sex dolls? 1.00

00:30:57.400 Yeah, it's totally fine. 0.99

00:30:58.340 A culture that says that children actually can consent not only to sexual behavior but to permanent sexual changes like castrating themselves, like undergoing surgery and hormone therapy, quote-unquote, and pretending to be the opposite sex, shortening their lifespans.

00:31:10.340 In that kind of culture where all the ingredients for this degeneracy are baked in and affirmed as positive goods, what do you know the consequences of all that occur?

00:31:24.500 What does this tell us?

00:31:25.840 This tells us that we have limits necessarily in law, and some people, if they are indulged, are going to push things to the limits.

00:31:37.380 What is the limit?

00:31:38.240 The legal limit for nudity and all this kind of stuff is the age of 18.

00:31:43.880 Why is it 18?

00:31:44.560 Well, there's some good reasons as to why they picked 18, but to some degree, it's just arbitrary.

00:31:49.360 It could be 19.

00:31:50.440 It could be 20.

00:31:51.700 It could be 17.

00:31:52.980 It could be 16.

00:31:54.740 The age of consent has varied historically and does vary by country and even municipality.

00:32:00.780 So they picked 18.

00:32:03.200 And the one thing I can promise you is, whatever point they pick, there are going to be people who try to push it past the extreme.

00:32:10.600 They're going to try to push it past that point.

00:32:12.560 And what the liberals tell us is, this is an argument to get rid of all limits.

00:32:16.040 We need to just liberate ourselves from all limits.

00:32:17.880 I mean, even going on the weird, like, young people sex stuff, even going back to the 1960s, you can find articles in newspapers written by Bernie Sanders, who was a relatively coherent leftist.

00:32:28.680 But this is a very prominent left-wing politician writing about how we need to get over all of our taboos over children doing sexual things.

00:32:35.540 We need to get over it, man.

00:32:36.440 We just need liberation, you know?

00:32:37.900 Otherwise, people are going to get complexes.

00:32:39.220 What's funny, in these essays that Senator Sanders wrote, which were totally exemplary of the left-wing point of view on sex and liberation and even the age of consent, he said, you know, man, if we keep these taboos on young people doing weird sex stuff, that's going to give them a complex.

00:32:56.740 It's going to give them a neurosis.

00:32:57.860 It's – he's speaking in the language of Freud.

00:32:59.800 He's speaking in the language of the steam engine.

00:33:01.380 He's saying, we just got to blow off a little steam, man.

00:33:03.940 But it's just not true because at that point, there is no end to the depravity.

00:33:10.180 It just goes on and on and on.

00:33:11.380 It's going to get weirder and weirder and weirder, especially as new technology like AI allows people to create these images out of thin air.

00:33:19.620 The more perverse, the better in many of their minds.

00:33:24.320 There's no limit to that.

00:33:25.080 So it has to – there has to be some limit.

00:33:27.760 And the question for conservatives now is, are we going to follow the liberals down the ever-loosening line of just saying, well, okay, maybe we can get a little more liberal here, a little more liberal there, a little – we can lower the age.

00:33:43.480 We can allow children to make certain sexual decisions.

00:33:46.160 Oh, we can allow certain behaviors.

00:33:48.280 Oh, we can act – we can change this definition of an institution.

00:33:51.220 Oh, we can – all right, look.

00:33:52.820 Look, I don't really believe in transgenderism, but you can't do it until you're 18, okay? 1.00

00:33:57.640 You can't go under the transition until you're 18.

00:33:59.800 Okay, you can't go under the transition until you're 16.

00:34:02.000 Okay, you can't go under the transition until you're 12.

00:34:03.800 Okay, you can't – there's just no end to it.

00:34:06.280 So my point is, rather than following the liberals down this rabbit hole, why not just draw the firm limits much earlier and say, certainly at the very least, no one can do this stuff until 18.

00:34:17.880 But really, look, transgenderism is fake, so no one should do it because it's bad for everyone. 1.00

00:34:22.520 Why not even when it comes to something like pornography? 0.94

00:34:25.840 I recognize there's political prudence here.

00:34:27.720 There's always been some licentiousness and lust.

00:34:31.760 I don't think that the natural law and the human law are identical.

00:34:34.680 We talked about this last week on the show.

00:34:36.640 St. Thomas Aquinas even makes a very good prudential argument that not everything that is immoral needs to be outlawed because not everyone is equally virtuous in society.

00:34:46.300 And the point of the law is to encourage virtue and discourage vice, but you've got to do it gradually.

00:34:50.720 You've got to kind of meet people where you are, or where they are, rather.

00:34:53.460 You don't want them to just totally break like a child under a parent who's too strict.

00:34:57.160 So, okay, maybe you tolerate certain seediness.

00:35:01.000 But we used to do – in society, we used to tolerate this kind of seediness in the red light district.

00:35:05.720 And we would prosecute it sometimes when it got a little too out of control.

00:35:09.620 We wouldn't encourage it.

00:35:11.000 My friend Jonathan Pagiot makes this point.

00:35:12.960 He says, there have always been things that are off-center and a little weird and kind of bad, actually.

00:35:18.560 But they used to be on the margins.

00:35:20.460 We would put the gargoyles on the facade of the cathedral.

00:35:24.360 You wouldn't put it at the altar.

00:35:26.540 Okay, you'd put the – in the medieval manuscripts, you'd put the little weird elf guys with like seven different appendages making a weird smile.

00:35:33.720 You'd put that in the marginalia.

00:35:36.060 Put that on the very edge of the page.

00:35:37.680 You wouldn't put that right in the center.

00:35:39.160 What our society has done is put this stuff right in the center.

00:35:43.120 And as we do that, as we continue to affirm that it's all just fine, you're going to get more and more of this creepy stuff.

00:35:49.740 And you're going to get more and more politicians like the Kentucky State Senator Karen Byrd. 1.00

00:35:53.400 And you're going to get more and more purple-haired mothers with three and four and five trans kids. 1.00

00:35:57.680 Everyone's going to have a trans kid by the time these people are done. 0.99

00:36:10.500 Talking about limits in law, a new euphemism has just dropped.

00:36:15.260 The White House has a new term for illegal aliens.

00:36:17.280 We'll get to that in one second.

00:36:18.700 First, though, one year ago, Hershey's announced that a man would be leading their Women's Day campaign.

00:36:47.840 My favorite comment on Friday is from Sammy Hager.

00:36:51.380 Not Sammy Hager.

00:36:52.220 Sammy Hager 12, who says, quote,

00:36:55.040 They're jiggling in a way that's not quite a waltz, Michael Knowles.

00:36:58.500 I like that quote.

00:36:59.820 I want that to be on one of my Goodreads quotes, you know, the quotables page.

00:37:04.000 They're jiggling in a way that's not quite a waltz.

00:37:06.940 I think that's a very apt description of those white girls with the Stanley Cups at the gas station. 1.00

00:37:40.920 New euphemism dropped.

00:37:44.900 The Biden White House has a new term for illegal aliens.

00:37:47.780 You know, they've had a lot of terms, the libs.

00:37:50.620 They've had illegal immigrants, undocumented Americans, future Americans, dreamers. 0.98

00:37:57.960 Dreamers was a good one.

00:37:59.580 But no, we got a new one.

00:38:00.640 The new one is newcomers.

00:38:05.200 They're newcomers.

00:38:07.360 Wow.

00:38:08.640 Wow, that sounds nice, doesn't it?

00:38:11.540 The millions and millions of not even just Latin American, but Chinese, Middle Eastern, all sorts of people unvetted crossing our border, many of whom have very bad intentions. 0.98

00:38:23.180 All of them working with criminal cartels, just like truly psychopathic, worst people on earth kind of cartels.

00:38:29.640 They're just newcomers, according to talking points from the White House.

00:38:34.260 So, this goes back to 2023, when Alejandro Mayorkas, the secretary of DHS, issued a memo that said they would not use the term illegal alien when speaking of these people.

00:38:49.480 They used the term non-citizen, because that speaks to the importance of respecting the dignity of the individual.

00:38:56.560 Now, I don't see why illegal alien doesn't respect the dignity of the individual.

00:38:59.780 It's just a clinical term.

00:39:03.500 They're not here legally.

00:39:04.600 They're here illegally. 0.99

00:39:05.780 That's an important distinction.

00:39:06.720 That's actually the crucial distinction for the enforcement of the law, which is this guy's job.

00:39:12.080 And they're aliens.

00:39:13.000 They're foreigners. 1.00

00:39:13.760 They're not American citizens. 0.97

00:39:15.800 So, but he says, no, that's because it's a crime.

00:39:18.480 Because what they're doing is a crime, and people don't want to be criminals.

00:39:21.660 They know that's a bad thing.

00:39:22.620 That's a shameful thing.

00:39:23.360 But rather than just stopping the same shameful thing, because the liberals want these criminals to come into the country, they have to just pretend it's not shameful.

00:39:31.320 They have to pretend it's not criminal.

00:39:32.320 So, they call them non-citizens.

00:39:33.540 Then earlier this month, they changed it.

00:39:36.480 In the talking points, they said they were going to provide critical funding for shelter and critical services for newcomers in our cities and states.

00:39:43.900 Not just the Californians who moved to Tennessee.

00:39:45.640 No, we're talking about the Venezuelans who illegally moved to California and really more like Texas and a lot of other conservative states.

00:39:53.700 All right.

00:39:54.080 Well, now we get that word again.

00:39:57.560 In the talking points on the bill to preserve catch and release, the bill also includes $1.4 billion for cities and states who are providing critical services to newcomers and would expedite work permits for people who are in the country and qualify.

00:40:09.860 I did write a book about this called Speechless Controlling Words, Controlling Minds.

00:40:12.840 And you should have been set up.

00:40:15.720 These producers should have been set up from the moment I started this segment.

00:40:18.260 But they didn't.

00:40:18.800 They were sleepy back there.

00:40:20.220 It's a Monday morning.

00:40:21.160 They were out a little bit too late on Sunday night.

00:40:23.720 In any case, this is the point of the book, Speechless, is that the libs, because they can't win the debate, they have to rig the debate from the outset.

00:40:35.100 They do this sometimes with elections, but they certainly do it with the public debates.

00:40:39.400 They knew they couldn't win the debate on something like same-sex marriage because it doesn't make any sense.

00:40:45.700 The argument to preserve what marriage has always meant everywhere for all of human history was not a hateful argument.

00:40:51.240 It's not because we hate guys who are a little light in the loafers or we hate lesbians because we hate Subarus or I don't know what they think we hate.

00:40:57.480 We don't hate anybody.

00:40:58.500 We love everybody.

00:40:59.620 All right.

00:40:59.900 But we also love reality, and the term same-sex marriage is like saying a square circle.

00:41:07.680 There just can't be a square circle.

00:41:10.180 A circle in its very nature is not a square, and marriage in its very nature involves both sexes because marriage is the union of a man and a woman that is ordered toward the procreation and education of children.

00:41:21.640 No knock.

00:41:22.800 You can have the most effeminate-looking dude who really pulls off a pair of stiletto heels, but that guy is never going to be able to conceive a child with another man because they're both dudes, and that's just not how it works.

00:41:34.280 Okay?

00:41:34.740 So they knew that.

00:41:36.560 They knew there was no argument for it.

00:41:37.980 That's why even all the big Democrats were opposed to same-sex marriage, including Joe Biden, including Barack Obama, including Hillary Clinton, including all the currently biggest Democrat names.

00:41:47.100 So what'd they do?

00:41:48.680 They just changed the term.

00:41:49.860 They said we need marriage equality.

00:41:51.920 Oh, well, everybody loves equality.

00:41:53.780 Oh, we're talking about equality?

00:41:54.940 Oh, yeah, well, I'm not for inequality.

00:41:56.200 I'm for equality.

00:41:56.940 So, yeah.

00:41:57.980 We need to talk about who has the right to get married.

00:42:00.880 Oh, I want everyone to have rights.

00:42:02.040 Okay, well, we ought to all have rights.

00:42:03.580 So, yeah, let's go for it.

00:42:06.680 And then even then, it didn't totally persuade people, so the Supreme Court liberals just had to come down and contradict public opinion and common sense and the natural law, and that basically did the trick.

00:42:17.100 But it took them a long time, and they could never win the debate.

00:42:21.020 Same thing with immigration.

00:42:22.800 Most Americans oppose mass migration, legal and illegal.

00:42:26.280 When you actually get down to the numbers and you poll people on how many immigrants they think should come into the country, most Americans want far fewer immigrants to come into the country than we currently have.

00:42:35.000 And certainly, they oppose illegal immigration.

00:42:37.560 So, they know they can't win the debate.

00:42:39.540 Should illegal immigrants be here? 1.00

00:42:40.900 Should illegal aliens be in the country? 1.00

00:42:42.360 No, just by definition, they should.

00:42:43.920 Okay, well, we can either ditch our policy or we can just change the terms.

00:42:47.580 Okay, let's change the term.

00:42:48.440 But the problem is, as the Harvard professor Steven Pinker points out, the euphemism treadmill.

00:42:53.800 When you just change words, when you change terms, ultimately, that doesn't really change the reality.

00:43:01.320 So, the reality seeps through, and people begin to recognize the reality again.

00:43:05.180 So, you've got to change the word again.

00:43:07.160 That's why you've got to go from, well, not just illegal immigrant to undocumented immigrant, undocumented American future, American dreamer, newcomer.

00:43:15.640 You've got to do it because people then just, even when they're dazzled for a few moments by the new term, they then begin to associate it with the realities of that, which is lawlessness, which is a spike in crime in certain places, which is the loss of American sovereignty, which is all these sorts of problems.

00:43:30.300 So, they have to keep changing it.

00:43:32.560 So, they're going to change it again.

00:43:34.180 What are we going to do?

00:43:34.820 I mean, for goodness sakes, the place that we saw this new term was in talking points on a bill to preserve catch and release.

00:43:41.640 Catch and release is where the government just basically rolls out the red carpet for the invasion of our country.

00:43:46.780 What can we do about it?

00:43:47.840 We talk about the capital C constitution, lowercase c constitution.

00:43:50.280 We talk about the importance of our sacred democracy.

00:43:52.960 How is it that most Americans oppose this stuff, and yet, no matter which party we elect, we have to have more mass migration? 0.96

00:43:59.480 How's that?

00:43:59.900 The only explanation of that is that our actual constitution is different from the one on parchment.

00:44:07.540 That the actual way our government works is different from, I'm a bill up on Capitol Hill.

00:44:13.120 Speaking of illegal aliens, really awful story. 1.00

00:44:16.560 A previously deported illegal alien shot three cops who were serving him a warrant for animal cruelty.

00:44:23.520 This happened last week.

00:44:24.520 We're just getting to it now.

00:44:25.780 This is Stephen Claude Radigan, 48, opened fire on cops from Metro Police on Valentine's Day when they were serving him an outstanding arrest warrant at his home related to a 2023 incident that was involving animal cruelty.

00:44:38.600 They weren't even trying to arrest him because he's an illegal alien, they were doing it because he was torturing animals.

00:44:43.500 DOJ says he was captured by a security camera beating one of his dogs several times in the face.

00:44:48.400 Now, probably if you showed this story to most people, they would say, okay, deport this guy, even the liberals.

00:44:57.660 And look, the cops came and they finally arrested him.

00:45:00.100 That's good.

00:45:00.440 We generally don't arrest illegal aliens who are in our country, even the ones who commit crimes.

00:45:03.860 We often let those people who commit violent crimes just out that same day because of left-wing funded DAs who have been installed in our cities.

00:45:10.760 But this one, okay, they arrest him and this makes some news and they probably will deport this guy.

00:45:14.660 You know why?

00:45:16.220 Because we now have a human face on it.

00:45:18.840 And because people really like dogs.

00:45:21.300 I don't really care for dogs that much, but people really like dogs, especially liberals.

00:45:24.060 They go crazy for dogs.

00:45:25.100 They think that dogs are babies now.

00:45:26.400 They put their dogs in little strollers, you know.

00:45:28.280 They're probably going to start sending their dogs to college.

00:45:30.340 So that works.

00:45:32.540 If you put a human face on this, the libs are very good about this, putting a human face on things.

00:45:37.220 And then because they control the media, they can blast that narrative out everywhere.

00:45:42.420 We need to do the same thing.

00:45:44.060 Illegal immigrants, even the libs do a good job about this with the illegal immigrants. 1.00

00:45:47.340 They say, oh, these poor people, these poor asylum seekers, these dreamers coming over seeking asylum.

00:45:55.240 How dare you?

00:45:56.300 You want to send them back, these poor sweet doe-eyed little babes? 1.00

00:45:59.420 First of all, it's basically all fighting-age men who were just coming here to make some money.

00:46:04.280 And they're working with the criminal cartels to get here.

00:46:06.580 So these are some of the last guys you want in your country, all right?

00:46:10.560 Frankly, the only ones that I think it would probably be good to get into the country are the Cuban ones because they're right-wing generally. 1.00

00:46:17.680 And they're fleeing an actual communist regime, and they make good cigars.

00:46:21.920 So those are the – and we're going to have any kind of illegal immigration.

00:46:24.380 That's the one I want.

00:46:25.220 And that's the one that the liberals canceled.

00:46:26.860 That's the one that under Obama, they said, no, no more Cubans.

00:46:29.100 Send them back.

00:46:29.820 We're going to repeal the wet foot, dry foot policy.

00:46:31.440 Because they knew that the Cubans are generally a little bit more conservative, more likely to vote Republican.

00:46:35.840 And they're landing in Florida, which is an important state for Democrats to try to win back.

00:46:39.980 So it's just all completely preposterous.

00:46:43.160 But what do we do about it?

00:46:44.580 We've got to put that same human face on it, the human face of the people who are murdered, who are raped, who are attacked, the human face of even of the guy who's torturing his dog.

00:46:57.560 Now, speaking of things from Latin America, I have a story I really want to get to.

00:47:02.620 It's going to be the most controversial story that I've covered in months probably.

00:47:05.760 This is a story that some of you are not prepared to hear.

00:47:10.460 So I'm just going to tease this, and maybe we'll get to it tomorrow.

00:47:15.600 Marijuana, the old sin spinach, the devil's lettuce.

00:47:18.900 You know what I'm talking about?

00:47:19.700 The Peruvian parsley, the old California cumin.

00:47:22.360 You know what I mean?

00:47:23.060 That Haitian oregano. 0.52

00:47:24.720 Pot is not good for you.

00:47:27.700 There's a study that shows that pot, weed, ganja, the old, I don't know, I've run out of.

00:47:35.760 Euphemisms.

00:47:37.100 That it increases the risk of heart attack and stroke.

00:47:42.000 I'm glad I'm teasing this.

00:47:45.100 Because the potheads who are listening right now, they're going to need a day to come down to calm, get over their fury at the suggestion,

00:47:53.640 which so many Marijuana users don't want to admit, which is that maybe this thing isn't just totally great.

00:48:00.660 Maybe there is a cost to this mind-altering herb that I light on fire and inhale into my lungs.

00:48:07.340 Maybe.

00:48:07.700 So, listen, I'm not sure everyone's ready for that.

00:48:10.820 We're going to get to that story tomorrow.

00:48:12.000 For right now, it's Music Monday.

00:48:13.260 The rest of the show continues now.
