The Supreme Court has ruled that no state may bar President Trump from running for re-election. Liberals are fuming. And it's because the ruling was made by a 5-2 vote, and not by Clarence Thomas or Samuel Alito.

00:00:00.000 The Supreme Court has just ruled in favor of President Trump and against the state of Colorado,
00:00:05.500 which had tried to boot the former president and current GOP frontrunner from its ballots. 0.96
00:00:11.220 But the decision is not just limited to Colorado. Despite the best attempts of several Democrat-run
00:00:16.880 states, no state may bar President Trump from running for a second term.
00:00:22.840 Now, on the one hand, this is great news. But on the other hand,
00:00:28.680 duh, yeah, of course states can't do that. That is patently unconstitutional, 0.84
00:00:35.140 as everyone with an even semi-functioning brain and a shred of honesty has known all along.
00:00:42.940 Liberal commentators and politicians, who tend to lack both of those things,
00:00:46.880 are fuming over the Supreme Court ruling. Liberal jurists, on the other hand,
00:00:52.420 are generally not. And the reason, and this is something you might not hear in the liberal press,
00:00:59.120 is that the Supreme Court ruling was unanimous. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:02:57.700 and it's great in particular because of its unanimity. So the libs are furious. They hate
00:03:04.640 Clarence Thomas. They hate him especially because he's black. They hate him because he's the oldest
00:03:08.360 conservative on the court now, but especially because he's black, because he's not supposed
00:03:12.400 to be conservative. He's supposed to be liberal because he's black, but he's conservative, and
00:03:15.800 that drives him crazy. They go after Thomas. They go after Alito. They really hate Alito.
00:03:20.820 Kavanaugh, of course, because he drinks beer. But the thing about this ruling is that Elena Kagan
00:03:25.960 and Sonia Sotomayor and the other one, Ketanji Jackson, also supported this ruling. So all nine
00:03:33.180 justices agree that individual states may not bar candidates from ballot access by invoking Section
00:03:42.720 3 of the 14th Amendment, which says that if you've ever engaged in an insurrection, that you can't run
00:03:50.840 for re-election. Now, that was where the unanimity was. The court then split on some of the reasoning as
00:03:58.460 to why that was. So the majority of the court, the five justice majority, in an unsigned opinion,
00:04:04.520 says that Congress must act to give Section 3 force. So this has been a debate. This provision
00:04:13.300 of the 14th Amendment, which was ratified after the Civil War to prevent the Confederates from taking
00:04:18.940 over the country after this very bloody Civil War, the question is, who enforces this provision of the
00:04:26.360 14th Amendment? Is it self-enforcing? What does that even mean? Is it enforced by the states? Is it
00:04:32.640 clarified by Congress? Who does it? And so according to the court majority, the Constitution makes
00:04:39.580 Congress, rather than the states, responsible for enforcing Section 3 against federal office
00:04:44.000 holders and candidates. The four other justices, the liberals, or I guess the liberals plus
00:04:50.420 John Roberts. I don't know. It's an unsigned opinion. And John Roberts is sort of a lib in
00:04:56.180 himself. But regardless, they say, no, we're just going to keep this kind of ambiguous. But in any
00:05:05.060 case, Trump gets to be back on the ballot in Colorado, which means he's also going to be back
00:05:08.720 on the ballot in Maine, which means he's just going to be on the ballot. And the libs can whine and cry 0.87
00:05:13.020 about this. Duh. This is very, very obvious. It's why all the judges who have very different
00:05:19.260 interpretive principles, who have very different legal perspectives, they all agree. Colorado
00:05:26.260 Secretary of State hit the hardest. She goes on MSNBC to whine about the ruling. 0.51
00:05:31.340 My larger reaction is disappointment. I do believe that states should be able under our Constitution
00:05:37.680 to bar oath-breaking insurrectionists. And ultimately, this decision leaves open or leaves
00:05:44.100 open the door for Congress to act to pass authorizing legislation. But we know that Congress
00:05:50.800 is a nearly non-functioning body. So ultimately, it will be up to the American voters to save our
00:05:57.880 democracy in November. This was a unanimous decision. If you're just listening to that woman,
00:06:05.860 you are missing 90% of what she just did on TV, because it's the eyes that give it away. It's the
00:06:14.500 eyes that reveal the crazy. And those eyes, I don't think she blinked once during her monologue here.
00:06:21.740 And I don't know, her face barely moved. Her mouth moved a lot, but not one other muscle in her face
00:06:27.300 seemed to move. And she said, and so what's going to happen now? I can't even do an impression of this.
00:06:31.420 My face is too expressive. But she's got the crazy eyes just deadlocked on you,
00:06:35.800 reading deep into your soul. And she says, and that's why the voters now must protect democracy. 0.99
00:06:42.900 Yes, I suppose that's true. That's democracy. You, lady, are the one who tried to undermine the 1.00
00:06:51.320 democracy by preventing people from having the opportunity to vote for the most popular candidate
00:06:55.720 in the race. And now that you got shot down, not just by the court's conservatives, but by the
00:07:00.580 courts, liberals too, all of them, every single justice. Now you come out and say, that's why I
00:07:05.140 defend democracy. But of course, these people don't defend democracy. They quite fear democracy.
00:07:11.320 That's why they're trying to prevent people even from having the option to vote for the conservative.
00:07:17.860 Keith Olbermann, formerly of MSNBC, now I don't know what he does. I think he just screams on street
00:07:22.760 corners. Keith Olbermann tweeted out, the Supreme Court has betrayed democracy.
00:07:28.920 Secondly, its members, including Jackson, Kagan, and Sotomayor have proved themselves inept at
00:07:33.580 reading comprehension. Any collectively, and collectively, the court has shown itself to be
00:07:39.580 corrupt and illegitimate. It must be dissolved. Okay, so I guess this is my question. You know I'm
00:07:44.280 not a huge fan of Ketanji Jackson or Sonia Sotomayor or Kagan for that matter, even though Scalia was
00:07:48.840 sort of friends with Kagan. And half the time, I don't even really like John Roberts or even Gorsuch.
00:07:54.960 Let's not forget Gorsuch enshrined transgenderism into our civil rights laws. So listen, I'm saying
00:08:00.540 we have disagreements with a lot of the justices. And yet, who do you think is more likely to have
00:08:08.180 a grounded and sensible view of legal interpretation? Every single justice on the Supreme Court
00:08:16.780 or some angry former MSNBC host sports guy? Who do you think? This reminds me of during the Bush 0.69
00:08:26.740 administration, when Sean Penn would go off on his political rants and rallies on George W. Bush. I
00:08:34.260 thought, you know, Sean Penn doesn't know anything. He's a pretty good actor, but he has basically no
00:08:39.880 education whatsoever. And his career is to be guided entirely by emotion and to be a gullible fool in
00:08:47.620 the words of Wynn Handman, one of the great acting teachers in the 20th century. So him or George
00:08:55.300 Bush, whether you like George Bush or you don't really like George Bush, he's actually a pretty
00:08:58.440 educated guy. He's got a fairly sophisticated worldview. Who is more likely to be correct here?
00:09:03.700 Something tells me it is not the Sean Penns and the Keith Olbermans of the world. But then there's a
00:09:07.800 young man, Harry Sisson, who is either a college student or he's just graduated from college. And
00:09:13.340 he's a Democrat operative. He's paid by the Democrats to tweet things and post things on
00:09:19.660 the internet. He's a paid political influencer. And this guy tweets out, insurrection sympathizer
00:09:26.540 Clarence Thomas ruled that insurrectionist Donald Trump can remain on the ballot in 2024.
00:09:33.560 That should be the headline. But of course, the more impressive headline would be
00:09:39.500 Ketanji Jackson, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan agree with the insurrectionist Clarence Thomas,
00:09:48.000 right-wing, terrible, awful man. Isn't that great? That would be the crazier thing, right? All the
00:09:53.180 supposedly sensible left-wing liberal jurists agree with this maniac right-wing legal dunce in the
00:10:03.180 description of the liberals. How weird is that? But no, I'm sure a 12-year-old, I don't know,
00:10:10.440 he was born like three minutes ago, and he's almost certainly never read a book in his life
00:10:14.240 cover to cover. I'm sure that guy understands constitutional law better than every single
00:10:18.400 justice of the Supreme Court. CNN, for its part, has actually had a more sensible reaction
00:10:23.900 to the court's decision. Dana Bash on CNN has suggested, OK, guys, look, maybe we lost here,
00:10:33.160 so maybe we need to rethink our strategy moving toward November.
00:10:38.560 Unfortunately for America, the court isn't necessarily wrong that this is the way the
00:10:45.580 framers wanted it to be. They wanted Congress, the people who are closest to their constituents,
00:10:51.740 constituents to be able to make the rules of the laws.
00:10:55.660 OK, in principle, that's true. That doesn't have a ton of bearing on this particular provision of
00:11:01.120 the 14th Amendment, because the 14th Amendment doesn't come about until after the Civil War.
00:11:05.480 So even here, this is some of the most sensible liberal commentary I've heard on this decision,
00:11:09.960 but even here, the CNN lady is talking about the framers of the Constitution. No, we're actually
00:11:15.260 talking about something that occurred 170 years after the framing of the Constitution.
00:11:19.600 So, no, that doesn't even make sense. In principle, it's true that the framers of the Constitution
00:11:25.320 wanted to give the American people, through their elected representatives, the ability to craft a lot
00:11:30.060 of the laws. Not all of the laws. Some of them are going to be circumscribed by the Constitution,
00:11:34.080 but broadly, they have a lot, a great deal of ability to create the laws that will govern themselves.
00:11:40.880 So what about in this case? Well, we get back to the central question of the case after the
00:11:48.120 unanimous decision, which is, how is this insurrection provision of the 14th Amendment
00:11:54.800 to be enforced? Is it going to be enforced by itself automatically? Just some random guy in the
00:12:00.760 street says, okay, the 14th Amendment is enforcing itself now, and therefore, we kick a candidate off
00:12:07.700 the ballot? No, probably not. So then is it up to the secretaries of state in the various states? Is it up
00:12:12.060 to the state legislatures? No. The majority, the unsigned majority of the Supreme Court in this
00:12:18.700 decision says, Congress has to do something here. And that's probably the best option available to
00:12:24.360 the Democrats. I think it looks bad if they try to kick Trump off the ballot. I think it makes them
00:12:28.180 look weak. I think it's an admission that they know right now, if it's a fair and square election,
00:12:32.660 Trump is going to win it. So I think they should probably drop it altogether. But if they're going to
00:12:36.720 pursue it, the best they can hope for, you've got a, what, a two-member majority for the Republicans
00:12:43.260 in the House. Just try to pry off a few of those squish Republicans. It would be difficult, maybe 1.00
00:12:48.480 impossible, but there's still a chance. Never underestimate the squishiness of Republicans.
00:12:52.960 Go for that. That's your best option. If they keep pursuing these wild-eyed state secretaries of 1.00
00:12:59.640 state to come out and just unilaterally boot major party candidates off the ballot, it's not going to 0.91
00:13:07.020 work. They're going to end up just like so many of Trump's enemies have over the last eight years.
00:13:11.340 They're going to end up like Wile E. Coyote when the Acme anvil falls on their head and the roadrunner
00:13:16.120 goes off, one hopes, to the White House in November. There is so much more to say. First,

00:14:24.200 Turning to Trump. Trump has just won two more primaries. Today is Super Tuesday, right?
00:14:31.580 I am voting today in Tennessee. This is very exciting, though we know what the outcome of
00:14:37.420 this is going to be because we just saw the two most recent primaries. In Idaho, Trump won by a lot.
00:14:45.120 They called it for Trump. He won by considerable margins. And then in Missouri, he won by 100%.
00:14:51.300 How does that work? So in Idaho, the final score was 84.6% to 13.5%, according to the Associated Press.
00:14:59.300 That was with 77% of the votes in. I don't think we're going to need to wait with bated breath until
00:15:03.940 100% of the votes come in. And then in Missouri, it's a caucus system. It's not a primary system.
00:15:08.640 So in terms of the local caucuses, Trump appears to have won all of them.
00:15:12.120 No surprise there at all. Nikki Haley has won a primary. She just won her first primary. And
00:15:19.700 you might think that's good for Nikki Haley. I actually think this is the one primary
00:15:25.660 that Nikki Haley could have won that it will not help her to have won. And that is
00:15:31.380 the Washington, D.C. primary. Haley ran away with the Washington, D.C. primary. 0.91
00:15:37.240 She won it 63 to 33. She got almost twice as many votes as Trump did.
00:15:45.080 Not a great look because the knock on Nikki Haley's campaign is that she's the establishment 1.00
00:15:50.940 candidate. She's the beltway candidate. She's opposing the voice of the people, the actual 0.95
00:15:58.340 Republican Party rank and file voters who want Trump. She's stymieing that at the behest of big 1.00
00:16:03.540 donors in the D.C. establishment. And Nikki has done a good job in her political career of straddling 0.99
00:16:09.860 both sides and of succeeding in Trump world as U.N. ambassador and as succeeding as a moderate and
00:16:15.540 a centrist as governor of South Carolina and as a candidate in this race. You don't want to be the
00:16:23.180 candidate of D.C. D.C. is deeply unpopular. And the kind of people who live in D.C., especially the
00:16:31.080 Republicans who live and vote in D.C. are profoundly out of touch with the Republican Party. I guess
00:16:37.720 put Nikki and Trump aside for a second. It just goes to show you the chasm that exists between the
00:16:45.140 official national Republican Party and the actual Republican voters. The party is centered in D.C.
00:16:55.420 National political life is centered in Washington, D.C. That's where the people with the fancy degrees
00:17:00.440 from Georgetown and Harvard and Yale and the guys who work at the big corporations, who work in the
00:17:07.160 big lobbying firms. That's where they all go. That's where a great many of them go. And they run the party
00:17:14.900 and they go into the RNC building, but they don't. They're so deeply out of touch with the rest of the
00:17:23.080 actual party. So what matters? Is it the RNC committee? I don't think so. I think you could
00:17:28.660 dissolve the RNC tomorrow and basically nothing would change about American politics. The same is
00:17:34.540 not totally true of the D.C. I think the elite Democrats are probably a little bit more in touch
00:17:41.340 with their base. Maybe not totally. You know, the elite Democrats, for instance, still support Israel.
00:17:46.360 The base seems pretty fanatically pro-Palestine at this point. There's certain issues where there's
00:17:53.160 a split between the elite. But generally, there's not a lot of diversity in the party anymore. They
00:18:00.140 ran out the blue dogs many years ago. And so it's all just progressives. And some are a little bit
00:18:05.740 more progressive than others. The Republican Party, it's the Libertarians. It's the Traditionalists.
00:18:11.580 There's still some neocons, a lot of them in Washington, D.C. The Chamber of Commerce types.
00:18:17.160 There's just a lot, okay? There's a lot of diversity there. And the kind of Republican
00:18:24.580 that most people are, that most conservatives are, is just not represented in D.C. So frankly,
00:18:30.860 I think it's just a PR win for Trump. He can say, yeah, there you go. Nikki Haley's Washington,
00:18:35.420 D.C.'s candidate, and I'm the candidate of every actual state in the country.
00:18:39.220 I don't know if there was any way to avoid that. I mean, in a way, the die was cast. Nikki decided
00:18:44.740 she could have run a number of different ways in this race, but she decided she was going to run
00:18:48.700 as truly the not-Trump candidate. And it's why she was able to beat out DeSantis and Christie and all
00:18:54.360 the other people who ran. But as a consequence of that, the party's with Trump. And so she will be
00:19:02.920 further marginalized as the candidate of the establishment. Fair or not, that's what's going to happen.
00:19:09.220 Now, speaking of the future of Nikki Haley's race and political career, Nikki was just asked,
00:19:16.960 now as this primary gets more and more bruising, if she feels impelled to honor her pledge to support
00:19:24.340 the eventual nominee of the Republican Party, the pledge that she took in order to participate in
00:19:29.820 the GOP debates. Here's what she says.
00:19:32.100 You did sign a pledge, an RNC pledge, to support the eventual nominee. Do you still feel bound by
00:19:40.300 that pledge? I have always said that I have serious concerns about Donald Trump. I have even
00:19:45.500 more concerns about Joe Biden. So is that a no? Are you bound by the RNC pledge?
00:19:49.880 The RNC pledge, I mean, at the time of the debate, we had to take it to where would you support the
00:19:55.200 nominee? And you had to, in order to get on that debate stage, you said, yes, the RNC is now not
00:20:00.360 the same RNC. Now it's so you're no longer bound by that pledge. No, I think I'll make what decision
00:20:05.740 I want to make. But that's not something I'm thinking about. And I think that while y'all think
00:20:10.280 about that, I'm looking at the fact that we had thousands of people in Virginia. We're headed to
00:20:15.220 North Carolina. We're going to continue to go to Vermont and Maine and all these states to go and show
00:20:19.880 people that there is a path forward. And so I don't look at what ifs. I look at how do we continue
00:20:26.780 the conversation? What? Come again? Hold on. Can I get that logic one more time? I really like Nikki,
00:20:36.540 and she has every right to stay in this race as long as she wants. And I get why she doesn't want 0.99
00:20:41.340 to support Trump. But are we talking about the ship of Theseus here? What do you say? She says,
00:20:46.200 well, look, we had to take a pledge to get on the debate stage. And so I took the pledge,
00:20:51.760 but I'm not going to honor it anymore. Hold on. So you're telling me that you lied. You're telling
00:20:55.560 me that you just, you totally disconnected your words from what they were supposed to signify.
00:21:02.000 Now, is that what you're saying? And I think Nikki realized that's not a good lie. She said,
00:21:06.040 yeah, I lied to get on the debate stage, but now I don't feel bound by, because I don't need to get
00:21:10.260 on the debate stage anymore. So I don't feel bound by what I said. That's not going to play.
00:21:13.620 So then she said, well, no, that was back with the old RNC, but now we have a new RNC. It's a
00:21:17.920 totally different RNC. What? What is that? How's that? Because there's a new chairman of the RNC
00:21:25.780 that no longer is it the same RNC? It's like the ship of Theseus. You have a ship and you replace
00:21:32.740 all the parts of the ship. Is it still the same ship? In this case, you didn't even replace all
00:21:36.140 the parts of the RNC. You just swapped out one staff member. Ronna McDaniel is stepping down. 0.98
00:21:42.040 There's going to be a new one. It's the same organization. It's the same. It's the same
00:21:46.620 federal tax entity. It's the same. Come on. Are you kidding me? The reason this is a bad move
00:21:53.120 for Nikki, if I were advising Nikki, I would tell her, just say, you'll support the eventual nominee.
00:21:57.780 Just say, even if you hate the guy, even if you don't want to just say, you'll do it because
00:22:04.020 your claim in the race is I'm the dignified candidate. I'm the principled candidate. I'm the
00:22:10.500 one who's not going to just say and do anything to win and to get ahead. I'm not just a power hungry
00:22:15.380 narcissist like they accuse Trump of being. But then when they pull this stuff, it makes them
00:22:21.740 look like the sort of thing they're accusing Trump of being. Because at least with Trump,
00:22:25.300 Trump was asked, will you sign this pledge to support the eventual nominee? He said, no,
00:22:29.160 if it's not me, I probably won't support the person. And he caught all this flack. You don't
00:22:32.620 care about the party. You don't care about conservatives winning. You're a narcissist. It's
00:22:35.380 all about you. He says, I don't care. I'm not going to go to the debates anyway. I'm winning and
00:22:38.600 I'm not going to lie. So no, I don't, I'm not going to support some other candidate. I'm going
00:22:41.940 to support me. He got all this flack. And so all the other candidates signed the pledge. And then
00:22:46.700 what? Then the moment that it gets hot, they all say, well, I actually don't know if I'm going to
00:22:49.980 support the nominee. Chris Christie said that. No, Nikki's saying that it's just a bad look. I don't
00:22:54.220 know who's advising her on this, but it's not a good look. The one thing you've got going here is you
00:23:00.280 say, I am the principled, reasonable candidate. Unlike that unprincipled Donald Trump, you know,
00:23:05.440 that's the campaign line. But then the minute you say, I'm not going to honor my word. You make
00:23:10.000 yourself look less principled than Trump. Not a good look. Not a good look. Okay. There is so much

00:25:43.900 Speaking of women's issues, there's a shocking new survey out that conservatives are lauding.
00:25:52.400 They're celebrating. I think it's very pathetic, but they're celebrating.
00:25:56.760 Most scientists agree that sex is binary.
00:26:00.840 Most? What do you mean most? If it's anything less than 100% is a scandal. What are you talking
00:26:11.660 about most? A poll that was out of the United Kingdom found that 58% of scientist respondents
00:26:20.180 believe that sex is binary, with the caveat that excludes rare cases involving intersex individuals,
00:26:26.460 which intersex refers to genital abnormalities, where there's some ambiguity at birth, but you can
00:26:32.660 still pretty easily classify them usually into one sex or the other. But in any case, even putting
00:26:37.940 that category aside, only 58% of scientists say sex is binary. This is such a classic example of 1.00
00:26:46.020 conservatives just losing and happily losing because the headlines are all saying,
00:26:52.660 most scientists agree with us. It's barely a majority. Barely a majority of scientists say
00:27:00.120 that boys and girls are different. Are you kidding me? And then it gets worse. 29% of these scientists
00:27:07.100 agree with the statement that sex is not binary. 29% would say sex is not binary. 13% did not share a
00:27:15.140 view or preferred not to say. 13% of scientists can't tell you boys and girls are different,
00:27:18.960 or they refuse to because they don't want to lose their jobs. 60, oh, this is awful. 64% of scientists
00:27:25.660 said they believe gender is fluid. 22% said it's binary. 14% did not provide an answer. This survey
00:27:34.320 is not a referendum on sex and gender as it is being reported in the liberal and the conservative
00:27:40.580 outlets. This survey is a referendum on the scientists, okay? We know the answer. If you don't
00:27:48.460 know the answer, the boys and girls are different, you don't know anything. You don't know anything.
00:27:53.100 It's not possible really to have a conversation with you. You worry that you need to go back,
00:27:59.360 not to kindergarten, you need to go back to daycare. You need to go back to your mother's arms and have, 0.75
00:28:06.420 and she clearly messed something up on the way to your maturity and education because you don't know 0.99
00:28:12.420 anything. Just as I can't speak to someone who doesn't speak the English language,
00:28:15.440 just as I can't discuss mathematical concepts with someone who doesn't understand the axioms
00:28:22.040 of mathematics, doesn't understand that A plus B equals B plus A, doesn't understand like 2 plus 2
00:28:26.640 equals 4. I can't really talk to you about calculus or integration or trigonometry. So too,
00:28:32.920 I can't discuss any public matter with you if you can't understand the basic concept that boys and
00:28:40.400 girls are different, okay? This survey is a referendum on the scientists. I do not leave
00:28:48.480 the survey more confident in my view that men and women are different. I don't leave the survey less
00:28:53.300 confident in my view that men and women are different. I leave the survey with only one
00:28:56.640 conclusion, and that is I am much less confident in scientists. So now when the scientists tell me,
00:29:02.960 get this shot, it'll stop you from getting a virus. I just am going to be very skeptical of that. Or
00:29:08.280 get this shot, sorry, get this shot, it's going to stop you from transmitting a virus, you sheep. 0.84
00:29:13.760 I'm going to be very skeptical of that view. When the scientists tell me that, you know,
00:29:17.680 they switch this every three weeks, they say coffee's good for you, coffee's bad for you,
00:29:20.640 eggs are good for you, eggs are bad for you. When they tell me, I'm going to be skeptical of all of
00:29:23.720 that. These people don't seem to know very much of anything. They don't know the difference
00:29:27.600 between men and women. Do you know who does know the difference between men and women? 0.56
00:29:31.880 The Holy Father, Pope Francis. And Pope Francis receives a lot of criticism from the public
00:29:37.100 because he says things and is reported to have said things that sometimes seem a little strange.
00:29:44.100 And often the Vatican chalks this up to errors of a translation where the Holy Father was misinterpreted.
00:29:51.460 And one can have all sorts of interesting discussions and debates about that sort of ambiguity.
00:29:56.700 On the question of gender ideology, Pope Francis has no ambiguity whatsoever. In fact,
00:30:01.920 he says that trans ideology is the ugliest danger facing the world today. He just said this again.
00:30:09.800 He said it many times, so I'm not really surprised, but he just said it a couple days ago.
00:30:14.780 He says, it is very important that there is this meeting, this meeting between men and women,
00:30:20.380 because today the ugliest danger is gender ideology, which cancels out differences.
00:30:26.700 He said that through extreme ideologies like transgenderism, the left is pushing to, 0.98
00:30:32.220 quote, make everything the same. Quote, erasing differences is erasing humanity.
00:30:39.580 Man and woman, however, are in a fruitful tension. He made these comments to members of the French
00:30:46.180 organization, academic organization, research and anthropology vocation of vocations Institute.
00:30:52.000 Very, very true. And it's true in all of these different ways. Men and women, there is a little 0.85
00:30:57.600 tension. Often it's a kind of a nice, you know, romantic tension. And then, you know, you date and
00:31:04.500 get married and have lots of children. It's good. You know, there's a men, vive la différence.
00:31:09.680 What the libs want to do is just erase all of that in the name of a false kind of equality, 0.85
00:31:14.100 in the name of a false kind of unity, a unity where they break everything down and mash it together in
00:31:20.500 an unnatural way. We like unity is good. We want unity is where strength is. But we want the unity
00:31:27.320 of men and women to be in their complementarity, not in their interchangeability. When men and women
00:31:33.100 become interchangeable, they don't get stronger. They get a lot weaker. They're mutilated. They're
00:31:36.540 castrated. They're often left sterile. They're often left with shorter life expectancies. They're
00:31:43.420 left far more confused. And they're left alienated from reality. But even on this, he goes beyond
00:31:48.960 gender. He says here, erasing differences is erasing humanity. This is true of geographic 0.98
00:31:54.800 differences. This is true of national differences. It's true of racial differences. You're not really
00:31:59.580 allowed to say these things anymore. And you're not allowed to say it because some people
00:32:03.940 go too far in the other direction and they make an ideology out of gender and sex, or they make an
00:32:09.800 ideology out of race. You don't want to do that either. The libs want to deny all difference, 0.76
00:32:16.060 national difference, racial difference, sexual difference, all sorts of difference. Some ideologues
00:32:22.100 swing totally in the other direction and they make an idol out of sex. You see this a little bit with
00:32:29.120 the kind of red pill community. They make sexual difference, the singular ultimate difference in 0.99
00:32:38.480 all of life, the most important thing to focus on. Or you see this with people who sincerely have
00:32:44.380 hangups on race when they make race. Race isn't everything. It's not nothing, but it's not everything
00:32:49.580 too. What you want is these distinctions and differences to be understood in accordance with
00:32:55.980 reality in as much as they correspond to reality and within their proper place. I guess it's sort of
00:33:02.340 the difference would be between the attitude of men and women are so different. And men and women are so 0.83
00:33:12.120 different. How about that? No. Different peoples of the world are so different. And different peoples 0.93
00:33:18.640 of the world are so different. How charming. Isn't that so wonderful? Don't you love to travel and
00:33:22.560 experience all these different cultures? I suppose that would be the difference. Because there's an 0.92
00:33:29.040 ultimate harmony and unity here, specifically in the religion for which Pope Francis is the supreme
00:33:36.680 pontiff and the vicar of Christ on earth. And that would be that there is neither Jew nor Greek nor 0.92
00:33:41.900 slave nor bond nor male nor female, but all are one in Christ Jesus. All are one in Christ Jesus.
00:33:46.360 All are not one in terms of the flesh. All are not one in terms of geography. All are not one in terms of
00:33:51.800 your genitalia and your biology. There, those differences remain. And there's a higher unity
00:33:58.480 that comes about through the complementary working of those people with their legitimate
00:34:04.240 natural distinctions left intact. Good stuff from Pope Francis. Speaking of dangers, this is a story I've
00:34:12.220 been teasing for a little bit, and we have to get to it. You know what I'm talking about. I'm talking
00:34:17.940 about those jazz cigarettes. You know what I mean? I'm talking about the old Bob Marley cabbage. You
00:34:22.980 know what I'm getting at over here? I'm talking, I'm out. I'm out of all of my euphemisms. A new study
00:34:29.820 has found that marijuana use is linked to a higher risk of a dangerous cardiovascular event. Even
00:34:38.700 puffing on that devil's lettuce as little as once a month can increase a person's risk for stroke or
00:34:45.160 heart attack, according to a study published Wednesday in the Journal of the American Heart
00:34:50.340 Association that was funded by the NIH. So despite the corruption that we've seen during COVID at the
00:34:55.860 NIH, still they put out a lot of pretty decent research, especially in less politically charged
00:35:01.260 areas. And these days, perhaps marijuana is a more politically charged area. I suppose less so than
00:35:07.480 COVID. Another risk associated with the Mary Jane, whether consumed by smoking, eating, or vaping,
00:35:14.760 is coronary heart disease, according to the study. Now, you know, it's not my thing.
00:35:24.260 I've dabbled. I've tried it. Like Bill Clinton, maybe in college, you know, maybe every now and
00:35:30.040 again. Never, never really was my thing. I prefer cigars and booze. Can't get that all into. It seems
00:35:38.040 to me that pot, even though I know plenty of right-wingers who get into it a little bit,
00:35:41.820 it's coded left. It's the sort of thing that libs do. And nicotine, be it zin or cigars and scotch and
00:35:50.240 things like that, that's what conservatives do. And it's, I don't think, I think there's probably
00:35:55.160 some explanation to that. It's not totally arbitrary, but anyway, that's, I get a little
00:35:59.860 bit more into that. I like, I don't know, I like the stimulant, the sharpness brought on by nicotine,
00:36:05.320 the relaxation of the cigar, even the social lubricant of the alcohol, all in moderation,
00:36:11.980 of course. Whereas with pot, I've found when I've tried it, I just get kind of dumb and slow and
00:36:16.980 quiet, which I don't really like any of those things. But also, apparently now, according to
00:36:21.820 this study, pot is dangerous for you. Why do I mention this? There are dangers posed by tobacco.
00:36:26.660 I'm not denying that. Obviously, dangers posed by booze. I'm not denying that.
00:36:30.240 Marijuana, though, uniquely, seems to be defended as a miracle drug. The people who get really into
00:36:38.140 pot, they say that there's no downside to it. It must be the only substance on earth that has
00:36:44.060 no downside whatsoever. Why? The potheads tell you it's not addictive. They tell you that right
00:36:48.580 after they wake and bake and they smoke five times a day. They tell you it's not at all addictive.
00:36:52.300 They tell you, oh, it doesn't cause any problems to your lungs or to your brain or to your heart.
00:36:57.720 No, it cures everything, actually, believe it or not. I just think, what are the odds
00:37:05.880 that this random hippie plant is the one substance that you can inhale into your lungs that has four
00:37:13.280 times the tar of cigarettes and it doesn't harm you? It just doesn't because it's the Jerry Garcia
00:37:19.820 stuff. It's cool, happy, hippie, grateful dead stuff, so it doesn't hurt. No, of course,
00:37:24.900 it's a drug. It's just a drug. So I'm not saying one should never use any substances. And obviously,
00:37:32.040 I like a cigar every now and again. I like a glass of scotch or wine every now and again.
00:37:37.060 But be honest about what it is. It's a drug. And so if you're using a drug like marijuana,
00:37:41.660 as some of my pothead friends have done, they're just smoking it throughout the day or they're taking
00:37:46.200 hits on their vapes or they're starting to use it when they're 13 or 14 or maybe even younger,
00:37:51.600 you think, hey, guys, don't paper over this. And you say, no, man, I'm having a kind of a
00:37:56.900 spiritual experience. No, you're taking a drug and you're taking a drug that is particularly
00:38:01.380 dangerous in certain regards and it's less dangerous in other regards. And stop trying
00:38:05.800 to elevate this to a spiritual or medicinal sort of experience. It's not. You're taking a drug and
00:38:14.280 certain drugs have certain uses. Some are worse than others. But like, you know, come on, guys.
00:38:20.620 Come on, you potheads. Get over it. And we'll get to another danger in a second. First, though,
00:38:26.600 this Thursday night, you should join the Daily Wire backstage as Ben Shapiro,
00:38:31.800 Matt Walsh, Andrew Klavan, the God King himself, and Jeremy Boring watch and react to the 2024 State
00:38:40.520 of the Union live on Daily Wire Plus. I will not be hanging with them. This will be the first
00:38:45.740 Daily Wire Plus backstage that I have not been a part of. I'm going to try to figure out a way to
00:38:53.360 be a part of it in a little way. I'm the only member of the cast of backstage that has been
00:38:58.120 at every single backstage, at least remote, usually in person. But the reason I won't be there is I
00:39:03.620 will be attending the State of the Union. I was very happily I was invited to be the guest of
00:39:07.720 Congressman Andy Ogles. And I look forward to attending the speech to see if the president
00:39:13.080 actually does fall asleep while he is up there on the floor of the U.S. Congress. So maybe I'll try
00:39:19.220 to pipe in if it's possible. But everyone will be breaking down the State of the Union as it happens
00:39:22.920 and, of course, answering your questions. Watch it live Thursday night, 8.30 p.m. Eastern on the
00:39:27.040 Daily Wire app and dailywire.com. My favorite comment from yesterday is from Undeserted Rose,
00:39:35.520 who says, you got a misinformation flag. Oh, I did. My episode got a misinformation flag. She goes,
00:39:40.440 nice. Thanks for talking about the blaze journalist. This is important. Well, we'll see
00:39:45.060 what happens. I mean, now that they're just openly arresting conservative journalists for talking
00:39:48.840 about the insurrection on the Capitol. I mean, I'm going to be at the Capitol on Thursday. So
00:39:53.680 listen, folks, if they drag me off in handcuffs for making too many jokes about the horn hat guy or
00:40:00.160 whatever, please, I'll miss you. It's been a lot of fun. Please sneak me in a nail file and maybe
00:40:06.740 some cigarettes or something that I can trade in the federal gulag. Did you know that over 85%

00:40:52.500 Who cares? I care a little bit in that we're in this proxy war with Russia right now and I don't
00:41:00.220 want it to escalate and I don't want it to become a world war. But Sweden is joining NATO, which means
00:41:05.080 that it is giving up a 200-year tradition of neutrality. All the libs on the left and the right
00:41:15.540 are celebrating this. That's good, baby. Join the good side, the NATO side, not the awful Putin-Russia
00:41:21.240 side. This is good stuff. NATO, pretty soon NATO's going to conquer the whole world, right? Probably
00:41:25.760 not. We're not going to conquer the whole world. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization wouldn't make
00:41:29.820 sense conquering the whole world. But NATO has expanded pretty significantly. And NATO, which is
00:41:34.720 supposed to be a defensive organization, has undertaken aggressive wars, notably in Iraq and in Libya.
00:41:40.920 Russia. We've probably had a little mission drift in NATO, which was a Cold War organization to oppose
00:41:48.660 the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact. Why is Sweden doing this? They're doing this now. They've wanted
00:41:54.740 it for a little while. And Hungary's parliament just gave the approval last week, overcoming the final
00:42:00.400 hurdle. And they say it's a big step. We must take that seriously. But it's a natural step that we are
00:42:05.980 taking. Sweden is now leaving 200 years of neutrality and non-alignment behind us.
00:42:14.180 I wish them well. I hope it works out for them. I'm skeptical that it will.
00:42:20.740 Neutrality, when it comes to statecraft, when it comes to geopolitics, can be a really great thing.
00:42:28.480 It can be very helpful. Because not all states are created equal. Neutrality, buffer states, can be
00:42:37.060 very, very helpful. You just saw this in Ukraine. Okay. We like to think in very clear moral terms.
00:42:48.480 And on questions of morality, it's good to think in clear moral terms. Clarity is charity. But on
00:42:53.980 questions of geo-strategic alliances, it doesn't always come down to a bare question of morality.
00:43:00.560 Sometimes it comes down to political prudence. And in modernity, we like to think that all nations
00:43:05.700 are exactly the same. This is one of the premises of our modern era, specifically beginning in the
00:43:11.040 middle of the 20th century, is we pretend. We go to the United Nations, and we pretend that some
00:43:15.220 country that no one's ever heard of is somehow on par with the United States or Russia or France or
00:43:20.280 England. And it's not. These tiny little countries with absolutely no power whatsoever are not the
00:43:25.620 same kind of entity that, say, the United States, the global hedge fund. It's just different. But we
00:43:29.980 all pretend because we're living at the apotheosis of the Westphalian system, of the nation-state system,
00:43:35.880 where we're all just separate and sort of equal nation-states, at least in theory, certainly not in
00:43:41.100 practice. But that will leave these weaker states open to a lot of danger. So in the case of Ukraine,
00:43:51.480 you have got a territory that has been disputed and conquered for a thousand years. Ukraine has
00:43:59.220 been conquered by so many people that even the Poles, who themselves have been conquered many,
00:44:03.980 many times, even the Poles were able to conquer Ukraine. Okay? So after the Cold War,
00:44:09.280 after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Ukraine found itself in a nice political situation,
00:44:14.800 a relatively nice one, historically speaking, which is that it was a buffer state between the West,
00:44:22.400 which was on the rise, and the former Soviet Union, now the Russian Federation.
00:44:27.760 And so what Ukraine did for a long time was just kind of play off both sides. Obviously, Ukraine has 0.86
00:44:33.720 deep economic and cultural and national ties, ethnic ties to Russia. But they're also playing with the
00:44:41.940 West a little bit, and they're a nice little buffer state, and that benefits them.
00:44:46.220 The moment that Ukraine's present troubles really began was when that buffer state decided to start 0.99
00:44:51.960 moving a little more decisively in the Western direction. And so when it moved a little more
00:44:56.220 decisively in the Western direction, and you had a coup called the Maidan Revolution, which was funded by
00:45:01.800 the United States government, and you had the head of the CIA landing in Kiev two weeks after the
00:45:06.520 Maidan Revolution, probably not great optics, all of a sudden, what happens? You get Russia starting 0.89
00:45:12.540 to get a little bit more aggressive on that eastern flank in there. And then eventually, you get Russia 0.60
00:45:16.560 just invading the east of Ukraine. And now you've got the United States and the Western powers broadly
00:45:22.360 funding the war. Ostensibly, it's just Ukraine fighting Russia, but it's really the West, led by the
00:45:28.020 United States, fighting Russia. This is something that we were able to avoid for the entirety of the 0.79
00:45:31.700 Cold War, a direct confrontation, and now we seem to be stepping closer and closer to it.
00:45:36.240 Not a great idea. Maybe had Ukraine just remained a buffer state and didn't say, 0.63
00:45:39.960 I want to join the EU and didn't say, I want to join NATO, maybe Russia would have become, 0.62
00:45:45.060 would have been a little bit less aggressive responding to a color revolution, a coup. And maybe,
00:45:50.220 I'm not saying this is ideal, maybe the Ukrainians deeply in their heart really do yearn to join 1.00
00:45:54.160 Europe. But maybe that's not the most prudent thing for them to do. Maybe these alliances
00:45:59.340 are not without limits. Maybe actually everything in politics has limits. And when we try to surpass
00:46:05.560 all limits, that's when situations get very, very dangerous. You want to see how dangerous this
00:46:10.120 situation is here in the war with Russia. Germany just accidentally admitted that British and French
00:46:16.420 troops are fighting in Ukraine. So Germany admitted this accidentally to cover their own hide. 0.52
00:46:21.860 They say what is being done in the way of target control and accompanying target control on the
00:46:26.860 part of the British and the French can't be done in Germany. Everyone who has dealt with this system
00:46:32.300 knows that. And he goes on, says, I will not support any decision that would somehow involve
00:46:40.140 German soldiers in a military operation related to Russia's terrible war against Ukraine. So how do you
00:46:46.980 read in between the lines from the German leader here? They're saying, look, Ukraine wants us to
00:46:53.060 give them more weapons systems, but we're not going to give them those weapons systems in the way that
00:46:57.980 the British and the French are, because doing so would force German soldiers to be operating in
00:47:03.740 Ukraine. And I'm not going to do that. The implication obviously is that British and French soldiers
00:47:07.060 are in Ukraine. So is it accidental or is he just throwing the Brits and the French under the bus here
00:47:12.100 to cover his own hide? Either way, what he's saying here is that the West is much more involved in the
00:47:22.480 war against Russia than the public believes. So then the question is, is NATO, is the West led by the U.S.
00:47:29.500 interested in and willing to control Eastern Europe? Do we really want to do that? All of those 0.99
00:47:36.960 states, all the Baltics, all the states bordering Russia, do we really want to do that? Or do we
00:47:45.380 want to, because here's the flip side, and it's a very good argument, do we really want to let all
00:47:50.100 those states fall under Russia control? Do we really want Vladimir Putin, who said that the collapse of
00:47:54.700 the Soviet Union was the greatest geopolitical tragedy of the 20th century, do we really want him, 1.00
00:47:58.760 he clearly has expansionist ambitions, do we want him to conquer those states? Do we want it to fall to
00:48:02.820 a new Russian empire? No, we probably don't want that either. So then what's the alternative? 1.00
00:48:08.000 The alternative is buffer states. My friend Yoram Hazoni, the very excellent Israeli philosopher,
00:48:13.800 makes this argument well. He's made this argument with regard to Jordan. He's made this argument
00:48:18.740 all over the world because Yoram is a philosopher of nationalism. He points out, you know, being a
00:48:26.660 buffer state, having some neutrality, which everyone seems so keen to give up today,
00:48:30.600 can serve the interests of the people. It can serve a national interest, and it can actually
00:48:35.240 conduce toward world peace and world order, perhaps more so than everyone picking a side,
00:48:43.200 and then what? Then going to war. Now, as the world order frays further and further,
00:48:52.360 we have a president who doesn't really know what his name is. So what are we going to do about that?
00:48:56.700 The Republicans are mocking this. I mean, I'm going to be at the State of the Union on Thursday,
00:49:01.180 so I suppose I'll tell you how he does, if he does manage to show up. And we'll see,
00:49:04.860 maybe it'll be a seven-minute State of the Union. We'll all be out of there by 8.30 or something.
00:49:08.860 But in the meantime, the liberals have clearly had it with Biden. I love this headline from
00:49:15.840 The Atlantic. They say, other presidents have retired in March of their re-election year.
00:49:21.540 It's so sad. It's so sad because they don't want to make an enemy of Biden because Biden is the head
00:49:27.340 of their party. But they know that Biden is just so weak. And right now, in an even remotely fair
00:49:32.140 election, Trump would beat Biden, probably decisively. And they know that he's just not
00:49:37.200 up to the job. But they can't say, Biden needs to get out of there, and I support Gavin Newsom or
00:49:41.560 whatever. They certainly don't want to say, I support Kamala Harris. She's probably less capable 0.90
00:49:44.900 even than a senile Joe Biden. And even an active Joe Biden wasn't all that capable. But what do
00:49:50.400 they do? They say, you know, actually, Mr. President, actually, there's a long history of
00:49:56.600 presidents retiring right now. Please retire. Please, please, please, Mr. President, please retire.
00:50:01.220 Now, we have to retire this portion of the show right now, but it's Tuesday. It's time for the
