00:00:26.120 31st 2025. TD ready for you. Super Tuesday has come and gone. Many of you voted. I voted. And if you

00:00:35.400 are in a normal state like I am here in Tennessee, when you went to vote, you showed your ID to prove

00:00:41.940 that you were in fact eligible to vote. If you're a normal voter in a normal state, basic election

00:00:49.080 integrity measures like that, like signing your name, like verifying your address, like showing

00:00:55.340 your ID, make you feel better about the election because they help to make sure that your vote

00:01:01.240 actually counts. Which is why Joe Biden's Attorney General Merrick Garland is dead set on getting rid

00:01:09.200 of them. The right to vote is still under attack. And that is why the Justice Department is fighting

00:01:17.140 back. That is why one of the first things I did when I came into office was to double the size of the

00:01:22.880 voting section of the Civil Rights Division. That is why we are challenging efforts by states and

00:01:29.520 jurisdictions to implement discriminatory, burdensome, and unnecessary restrictions on access to the

00:01:36.360 ballot, including those related to mail-in voting, the use of drop boxes, and voter ID requirements.

00:01:43.780 That is why we are working to block the adoption of discriminatory redistricting plans

00:01:50.420 that dilute the vote of black voters and other voters of color.

00:01:56.980 What dilutes the votes of everyone is when ineligible people go in to vote and cancel out

00:02:03.640 your vote, the vote of actual eligible voters. But of course, Merrick Garland sees things a little

00:02:09.180 bit differently. Or even if he doesn't see things differently, he's saying things quite differently.

00:02:12.640 And why is that? Why is the Biden administration declaring war on election integrity now?

00:02:18.980 They're doing it because this is plan C. Plan A for 2024 was to be more popular, to be more popular

00:02:29.480 than the Republicans. And every indication suggests that plan A failed. So plan B was to get Trump kicked

00:02:39.100 off the ballot. Trump can't get elected if no one can vote for him, right? Well, unfortunately for Joe

00:02:45.120 Biden and Merrick Garland and the Democrats, plan B failed too. The Supreme Court unanimously shot that

00:02:51.240 one down last week. So that leaves Democrats with no other option than plan C. Cheat. I'm Michael

00:02:59.120 Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show.

00:03:19.280 Welcome back to the show. The first over-the-counter contraception pills are headed to stores

00:03:27.080 and the libs are so excited about this. I'm not so excited about that. I think reasonable people

00:03:33.220 are not so excited. We'll get to that in just a moment though. First though, speaking of things

00:03:37.260 that you ought to pick up in stores, you got to get your Smells and Bells candle at the Daily Wire

00:03:42.320 shop. Dailywire.com slash shop. Get yours before they're gone. We have sold so many candles. It is

00:03:47.400 now the best-selling candle in Daily Wire history. It's the best-selling one. I don't want to

00:03:52.920 use my torch here to just explode my studio. There you go. Look at that nice wood wick.

00:03:58.800 Smells like a 12th century monastery. Absolutely love it. A best-selling candle ever. I love that

00:04:03.380 the Lenten special candle is the best-selling candle ever in the Daily Wire history by a long

00:04:08.600 shot. So anyway, get yours today. Big night for President Trump. He won basically every single

00:04:15.180 state. There was one exception to that. Nikki Haley won Vermont. Otherwise, Trump won everything. 0.94

00:04:21.340 Here is President Covfefe's victory.

00:04:24.660 Well, thank you very much. They call it Super Tuesday for a reason. This is a big one.

00:04:32.620 And they tell me, the pundits and otherwise, that there's never been one like this. There's never

00:04:37.680 been anything so conclusive. This was an amazing night, an amazing day. It's been an incredible

00:04:45.340 period of time in our country's history. It's been sad in so many ways. But I think it's going

00:04:51.320 to be inspiring because we're going to do something that, frankly, nobody's been able to do for a long

00:04:57.200 time. Very exciting for President Trump. Nikki can say that she got a victory. She got a victory in

00:05:07.420 Vermont. But other than that, the writing's on the wall. As of this moment, as we are recording this show,

00:05:13.080 Nikki Haley has not dropped out of the race. But she is going to. Every outlet is reporting that she

00:05:19.420 is set to make a speech sometime this morning. So I've instructed the producers. I've said,

00:05:24.340 hey, producers, go out there, find Nikki Haley's speech. If it happens, pipe it in live. Otherwise,

00:05:31.380 we'll get to it tomorrow. There won't be any news breaking. We all know it's going to happen.

00:05:35.980 If not now, it'll be tomorrow. If not tomorrow, it'll be the next day. But it is going to happen.

00:05:40.140 What will be interesting about the speech will be Nikki's

00:05:44.660 reasoning for how she can get out. Because Trump made this point a couple of weeks ago. He said,

00:05:52.600 Nikki Haley has put herself in a tough spot where she can't figure out how to wind down the campaign 0.99

00:05:59.800 because there was never a path to victory. So the campaign was always, well, we're going to go

00:06:04.920 despite impossible odds. We're not getting out of this race. I'm going nowhere. We're in it for

00:06:11.560 the long haul. Now, every campaign ends for the same reason. That's that the campaign's run out of

00:06:17.160 money. So the Koch network decided to pull their money from Nikki's campaign weeks ago. It's just

00:06:23.240 been a matter of time ever since then. So is her argument that, okay, now the voters have made their

00:06:31.740 decision clear. And so she's going to endorse the Republican nominee. Well, she just came out and

00:06:37.600 said she might not endorse the Republican nominee despite the pledge to endorse the eventual nominee,

00:06:42.500 which was the way that she got into the debates in the first place. Is she going to say, I'm not going

00:06:47.680 to endorse the Republican nominee? Okay, well, what's she going to do then? She's going to throw away her 0.91

00:06:51.900 vote. She's going to endorse Joe Biden. I can't imagine that. So I just, it'll be very,

00:06:56.720 very interesting to see what the reasoning there is. But in any case, you know, I know a lot of

00:07:02.260 people are not happy with Nikki Haley for sticking in the race this long, but I think it's pretty

00:07:06.060 impressive. The woman was considered a super duper long shot candidate when she first announced her 1.00

00:07:12.580 candidacy. Everyone thought that the stronger candidates would be people like DeSantis, certainly,

00:07:19.140 even Vivek. Some suggested Chris Chrissy and Chris Assange, Mike Pence. There were others on there.

00:07:26.140 People put Nikki Haley pretty low on the list and she made it to the number two spot. So, 0.99

00:07:31.180 you know, good for her, but all things must come to an end in this life and some sooner than others.

00:07:36.060 And it looks like Nikki's campaign is headed in that direction. So Trump

00:07:40.900 has now effectively secured the nomination, but not officially secured the nomination. There are still

00:07:49.320 more, more votes to go. The Super Tuesday contests awarded more than one third of the Republican

00:07:58.520 delegates, which means that they awarded more than 70% of the number of delegates that you need to

00:08:04.140 secure the nomination. In his speech, you heard a part of it there. I don't even think he mentioned

00:08:07.700 Nikki Haley. So it is over. Turning to the Democrat side of the presidential contest,

00:08:13.980 Joe Biden did fine because he's the incumbent and he theoretically should be running unopposed.

00:08:20.060 But there was another Democrat candidate who did shockingly well last night in the primaries.

00:08:25.460 And that candidate was uncommitted. Uncommitted did really well. Uncommitted scored 14.6% of the vote

00:08:35.740 in the Minnesota Democrat primary. Uncommitted scored 10.5% of the vote in North Carolina. Uncommitted scored

00:08:45.740 11.2% in Massachusetts. Joe Biden lost a huge number of votes when he was, for all intents and purposes,

00:08:57.480 the only candidate in the race. Not good news if you are Joe Biden. Joe Biden has lost control

00:09:06.780 of the narrative. Joe Biden has lost public support. That would be bad enough for Democrats,

00:09:14.160 except Democrats face this double whammy of a problem, which is that Joe Biden still has control

00:09:20.160 of the Democrat Party. So if it were merely that Joe Biden, he had been doing well, he was leader

00:09:27.080 of his party, but then he's lost control. So, okay, the Democrats are going to come in and replace him

00:09:31.760 with Gavin Newsom or with Kamala Harris, could you imagine? Or with Susan Rice or somebody else.

00:09:37.120 That would be one thing, but they can't do that. Joe Biden is firmly holding onto power. He's not

00:09:41.940 going to step down. He's not going to ask Michelle Obama, for goodness sakes, or Gavin Newsom or someone

00:09:47.540 to replace him. So he is in it. They are going to have to drag this guy dead out of the White House

00:09:52.680 if they want him out of there. But he just keeps losing support, so much so that Democrats are going

00:09:58.420 to the polls in a contest that is basically unopposed to vote for anyone else but him.

00:10:05.500 Okay, really, really bad news. And you're seeing that bad news reflected in the general election

00:10:10.340 polls because right now, Trump is way up. We'll get to that in one second. First, though,

00:10:13.960 did you know that over 85% of grass-fed beef sold in U.S. grocery stores is imported?

00:10:51.160 delivered. New York Times-Siena poll has Trump up five points over Biden. Eight months left until

00:10:58.360 November, until the election. Joe Biden has 43% support. That is significantly behind Trump's 48%

00:11:08.200 support in a national survey of registered voters. So the only option left for the Democrats is to

00:11:16.760 cheat. Joe Biden's not going to get more popular than Trump. I guess they can wait for the prosecutions,

00:11:23.760 and then you'll get the headlines about all the criminal convictions. And Donald Trump, he's been found

00:11:28.280 guilty of 10 million crimes, and he's going to be sentenced to 10 bazillion years in prison. And then

00:11:34.340 once he's served his sentence, they're going to exhume his body, chop his head off, and drag it 1.00

00:11:38.300 through the street. Ah, yes, the great enemy of the people. Okay, the Democrats and the squishes think 0.99

00:11:43.800 that that's really going to sway public opinion to Biden. I think it'll probably have the opposite

00:11:46.920 effect. I think it's just so ridiculous. If they were only hitting Trump with one or two or three 0.98

00:11:52.200 criminal charges, it's one thing. But they're hitting him with, what, 91 criminal charges or something

00:11:56.340 like that, trying to sentence him to 700 years in prison. That looks absurd, even to a low-information

00:12:03.940 voter who might be inclined to side with the Democrats. So they can wait for the prosecutions.

00:12:07.900 I don't think it's going to really help Biden's popularity. And by the way, for a senile old man

00:12:13.260 who is clearly in a precipitous decline, eight months is a lifetime. Think about just with your

00:12:20.740 own grandparents or your parents if you've dealt with the decline of age in your family. You know

00:12:27.740 when the decline starts happening, a month or two can be a really long time, much less six months,

00:12:34.340 much less eight months. So the odds that Biden gets more popular, very, very slim. The odds that

00:12:42.860 they're able to kick Trump off the ballot, now zero. The odds that they're able to put Trump in prison,

00:12:48.160 pretty slim. And if they did, I think it would help his popularity and he could still run from prison.

00:12:53.380 So they can't make him less popular. Everyone knows everything about Trump. There's no scandal.

00:12:59.320 There's good luck finding the new scandal about Donald Trump. I think we've heard them all.

00:13:03.320 Most of them aren't real. And the ones that are real, people don't really care.

00:13:07.220 There's no way to disqualify him. So the only option left is to cheat.

00:13:12.180 So they're going to go after voter integrity measures. They're going to go after voter ID.

00:13:16.000 They're going to try to spread out those ballot drop boxes so that you can't really keep an eye on

00:13:21.120 them. They're going to try to drag out the voter count just like they did in 2020. They're going

00:13:25.180 to use all sorts of shady Democrat money like the Zuck Bucks that went in to move those ballot drop

00:13:30.880 boxes away from the county clerk offices. In some cases, it was illegal. They're going to try everything.

00:13:36.280 It's going to be spaghetti at the wall because the plan A and the plan B just did not work.

00:13:41.860 Now, there's another wild card in the race, and that would be Bobby Kennedy Jr. So Bobby

00:13:47.700 Kennedy Jr., his father ran for president and was assassinated while running. His uncle was the

00:13:52.720 president, was assassinated while president. Joe Biden, I think, still won't give this guy

00:13:56.860 Secret Service protection. That's not a good look either. But Bobby Kennedy was running in the

00:14:01.120 Democrat primary, but he's got some appeal to conservatives. He's one, he's an old-timey kind

00:14:07.460 of Democrat. You know, a 1960s kind of Democrat. He's still a big liberal, but the country's moved

00:14:13.780 so far to the left that some conservatives now are happy with 1960s liberalism. Not me, but some

00:14:19.320 people on the right are. And because Bobby Kennedy was right during COVID. So because Bobby Kennedy has

00:14:24.420 this strong focus on vaccines, and for decades now he's said that vaccines are not particularly safe

00:14:32.400 during COVID. He was so skeptical of big pharma and the medical industry that he turned out to be

00:14:40.540 proven true in his skepticism, proven correct in his skepticism. So a lot of right-wingers like him

00:14:45.440 for that. Anyway, he was gone nowhere in the Democrat primary. He was polling 20%, but that seemed to be

00:14:50.080 the ceiling. And the party, because the Democrat party has much more control over its nomination

00:14:55.180 process, they weren't going to let him go anywhere. You saw how unfairly they treated Bernie Sanders back

00:15:00.320 in 2016. It was going to be that times 20 with Bobby Kennedy. So then Kennedy decides to run as an

00:15:05.580 independent candidate because he was pulling a lot of right-wing voters anyway. Now, however, the

00:15:11.360 reports are that Bobby Kennedy is looking to be the libertarian nominee for president. So according to

00:15:16.660 Ron Nielsen, who was the campaign manager for the 2012 and 2016 Libertarian Party presidential nominee,

00:15:25.020 he says there's a lot of buzz going on. There's a lot of interest in Bobby Kennedy. If he were

00:15:30.300 to say that he were to accept the nomination of the Libertarian Party, that would probably change a

00:15:35.320 lot of heads. There are people within the liberty movement that would like to help him. And okay,

00:15:40.520 that's what the Libertarian Party says. What does Kennedy say? Well, according to a source in

00:15:44.260 Kennedy's orbit, quote, there is a willingness of people in the liberty movement to consider Bobby

00:15:51.200 for sure. This was a campaign source speaking on the condition of anonymity. He is a rogue punk rocker of

00:15:58.380 the political system. So it seems as though Kennedy is at least open to the prospect of being the

00:16:02.900 Libertarian nominee. Why would he do it? You know, the Libertarian nominee for president is never going

00:16:09.600 to win the presidency. At least if Bobby Kennedy is running this independent campaign without a

00:16:14.360 political party behind him, it seems as though maybe he's got a chance. This is unheard of. He's

00:16:18.440 shaking things up. But if he's just going to become the Libertarian Party nominee, it seems like he's

00:16:22.580 just, he's marginalizing himself, right? Well, Kennedy wants to appear on the ballots around the

00:16:27.100 country. And in order to appear on the ballots around the country, you need to have some party

00:16:30.320 support. You need to have some kind of operation, a national apparatus. He currently lacks that.

00:16:36.960 So I think it makes perfect sense for him to do that. The Libertarian Party is one vehicle for him

00:16:43.900 to do that. He's not going to run as the Green Party candidate. He's not going to run as some other

00:16:46.700 party candidate. So I guess it's a natural fit. And he is kind of a Libertarian. The 1960s liberals are

00:16:54.380 kind of Libertarians today. I mean, Libertarians are a very broad group. And, you know, I mean no

00:17:00.660 disrespect. They're the kind of internet lolbertarians who are basically just neoconservatives who like

00:17:09.860 to do drugs. And then there are the more hardcore, principled Libertarians who, you know, have mini

00:17:15.820 guns on their ranches and, you know, are willing to start firing anytime even a county-level government

00:17:22.860 agent pops up anywhere on the horizon. So it's a big tent, I guess you would say, for the Libertarians.

00:17:29.000 But it's a natural fit. And Bobby Kennedy is not going to be president anyway. So might as well get

00:17:33.600 as many votes as he can, as far as I'm concerned. But again, still a losing proposition. I like it

00:17:38.980 because I think he'll pull more votes from Biden than he will from Trump. That's been my contention

00:17:43.020 the whole time. And the polls seem to have proven me to be correct, much as I hate to say I told you so.

00:17:47.640 So, okay, happy to do it. Good for the Libertarians, good for Bobby Kennedy, but most especially good for 0.84

00:17:54.960 the conservatives and Trump. Fine by me. Speaking of libertinism, the first over-the-counter

00:18:01.580 contraception pill is headed to stores. This announcement came yesterday. This is from the

00:18:07.240 manufacturer Perigo and says that the drug called Opil is in transit to major retailers and pharmacies,

00:18:14.060 which will make it much easier to get birth control pills. Now, some people are going to like

00:18:20.620 this. The Libertarians are going to like this, probably. The liberals are really going to like

00:18:25.020 this. Even some self-styled conservatives are going to like this. They're going to say, oh, well,

00:18:29.680 why do we need a prescription for this kind of pill? A lot of people use it. They're just cutting

00:18:34.340 back the red tape. Might as well let people buy it across the counter. Okay.

00:18:37.800 My question is, what good does this do? What is the good that can come of this?

00:18:49.540 Well, now people have access to contraception. People have access to contraception. Any adult who

00:18:55.780 wants contraception can get it right now. You go to your doctor, they write you a prescription,

00:18:59.620 you get the birth control pill. So what does this change? Well, now you don't have to go to your

00:19:06.440 doctor. Okay. So I guess the positive development that will come about with over-the-counter

00:19:13.540 contraception is that women will go to the doctor less frequently. Is that a good thing? I don't know 0.85

00:19:17.080 if that's a good thing. I should go to the doctor more than I do. Isn't that okay? What's really

00:19:22.200 going to happen here? The only real change that's going to happen is that it's going to be easier for

00:19:28.140 minors to have promiscuous sex. It's going to be easier for teenagers who can't get their parents

00:19:33.780 permission to go to the doctor to get the contraception to just go into the drugstore

00:19:37.360 and buy it over-the-counter. Because it's available, according to the news reports,

00:19:40.880 it's available to everyone. There's no age limit on it. So that's really what this is about. The

00:19:45.340 only social change that will come about as a result of over-the-counter contraception 0.67

00:19:49.980 is that minors will have an easier time having promiscuous sex. Is that good? Is that a good thing? 0.95

00:19:59.180 I don't think that's a good thing. Probably reasonable people don't think that's a good

00:20:03.500 thing. But then on the list of national priorities, that's what we're focusing on.

00:20:09.920 You have the American people crying out. They're saying, hey, could you please fix the economy

00:20:17.180 and maybe close up the border, stop all the drugs and crime and stuff, maybe arrest the violent

00:20:24.000 criminals on the street? Can you just do anything like the basic aspects of government? Can you do

00:20:30.900 those? And then the liberals come in and they say, hmm, yeah, sorry, best I can do is more promiscuous 0.98

00:20:36.640 sex for teenagers. This is, sorry, that's the best I can do. But you can get it at any drugstore you 1.00

00:20:42.280 want now. Is that, oh, also you can get the abortion pill at the two largest pharmacies in America.

00:20:47.520 So now you can, you can have a underage sex and kill babies. That's the best I can do. But the 1.00

00:20:53.920 border is going to be open. The economy is going to be terrible and crime is going to go through

00:20:57.820 the roof. Sorry. That's, that's the deal. Democrats 2024. Hmm. Doesn't, doesn't seem very persuasive.

00:21:07.020 And I don't think it is persuasive, which is why this Democrats election strategy is going to have

00:21:10.380 to be to cheat. There is much more to say. First though, go to luxblocks.com. Use promo code

00:21:17.860 Michael 25. You know, we're very selective about our endorsements around here at the Daily Wire. Okay.

00:21:24.060 We have to do thorough research or get a really fun, cool toy. And then that's good enough for me.

00:21:29.660 This product is really, really great. I love Lux Blocks. It is not just their innovative design,

00:21:35.120 but the story of their creators, Heather and Mike, they've invested their savings into this

00:21:40.100 venture and their vision for a better future. Lux Blocks is made right here in America.

00:21:45.820 This was not just a business decision, but a commitment to imparting their values into every

00:21:49.960 block. They wanted to create something that positively empowered kids to think,

00:21:54.220 create and dream big. I absolutely love it. The boys love it. Anytime I get a sponsor that's a toy,

00:22:00.680 being a father is a really great thing, but these are great because they're cool. They're simple enough

00:22:05.020 to play with that your kids can do it. But there is a little thought that comes into it actually,

00:22:09.400 and you got to figure out exactly where you're going to pair it with this, how the colors are

00:22:33.680 This sex stuff is becoming a big issue. It might be the big issue for the Democrats in 2024. 1.00

00:22:42.320 Sometimes people accuse me of spending too much. I'll say three times a week, maybe, I don't know,

00:22:46.900 four times a week. I'll mention some weird sex political story. I'm not the one who writes the

00:22:53.580 news stories. I'm not the one who creates the news. And it's not the conservatives who are creating

00:22:58.760 these news stories. It's the libs pushing for the abortion pill in the drugstores. It's the libs

00:23:04.560 pushing for the underage contraception over the counter. It's the libs pushing for all this stuff. 1.00

00:23:11.300 And then the moment we react, it's the libs who are pretending men can be women and allowing men to 0.87

00:23:15.540 go into the women's bathroom. It's the libs who are changing the definition of marriage. It's the 1.00

00:23:18.500 libs who are doing all this stuff. And then the minute conservatives say, hey, maybe should we not?

00:23:23.180 Hey, do you think, then they say, why are you so obsessed with sex?

00:23:26.280 We're not the ones doing it. And here's the latest proof of this.

00:23:30.080 The guest list for the State of the Union has come out. It's actually trickling out because

00:23:34.620 the individual members of Congress and the senators are each entitled to invite one guest.

00:23:42.860 And so those are beginning to trickle out now. The president gets to invite more people. The

00:23:46.800 first lady gets to invite more people. So between the president and the first lady, they get something 0.75

00:23:51.040 like 25 to 50 guests or something like that. And the first lady has decided to invite Kate Cox 0.82

00:24:01.680 as one of her guests. Kate Cox is a woman who sued the government for the right to murder her child

00:24:09.020 through abortion, to violate the pro-life laws and to kill her child. So Jill Biden, you know, 0.84

00:24:15.600 the wife of that devout Catholic Joe Biden, she decided that she was going to make one of her

00:24:20.520 guests, maybe the most prominent one, a woman only known for murdering her child and for suing 0.64

00:24:29.640 to murder her child. Senator Patty Murray, Democrat Senator from Washington, she's inviting Kayla Smith. 1.00

00:24:38.140 Kayla Smith is a central Washington resident, and she is known for also murdering her child. That's 1.00

00:24:46.280 what she's known for. She wanted to murder her child through abortion. And the laws in Idaho, her state, 1.00

00:24:53.720 her then state of residence, said, no, you can't murder your kids. And so she made a big deal about 0.86

00:25:01.660 this. And then she went to Seattle and killed her kid in Seattle. And now she lives in Washington, 0.99

00:25:05.740 where Patty Murray is the senator. Okay. So that's, that's kind of odd. We're just inviting

00:25:11.200 abortionists to, okay. And then Senator Tim Kaine, the man who was almost one heartbeat away from

00:25:18.300 becoming the second woman president, Senator Tim Kaine has invited Elizabeth Carr. Elizabeth Carr is the

00:25:24.560 first person to be born via in vitro fertilization. So now you're seeing a broadening out, not just of

00:25:29.740 abortion or contraception or, but a broadening out of this sexual revolution to include the

00:25:37.260 commodity, commodification of human beings through IVF. And so I, the first person born via IVF, I think

00:25:45.220 was born in the late seventies. I think it was 1978, but obviously this was an extremely experimental

00:25:50.620 technology back then. It slowly began to gain traction in the 1980s. Into the 1990s, it starts to take off,

00:25:57.280 but, but only recently has become a major, major political issue because in particular, because

00:26:04.660 of the redefinition of marriage and the loosening of what remained of the sexual mores to the point

00:26:11.760 that now IVF is not merely used by couples who are having trouble conceiving naturally. So they go to

00:26:18.020 the doctor and they go through this novel technological treatment, but now it's also two dudes who just

00:26:24.480 as a matter of nature can't conceive a child together. They will go, they'll go shopping in

00:26:30.280 a catalog. They'll find a woman, they'll purchase her eggs. Then they'll find another poor woman. 1.00

00:26:35.120 They'll rent her womb for a little bit. Then they'll hire a doctor. They'll hire a scientist. 1.00

00:26:40.720 And then they'll purchase a child made to order in a laboratory. And then the child will gestate

00:26:46.860 using the egg of the mother that he will never meet. The child will be intentionally deprived of that

00:26:51.500 mother. And then growing in the womb of this woman that has been paid just to be a rented vessel to 1.00

00:26:59.180 grow a child. The only mother that that child has ever known, that child will be ripped immediately

00:27:04.300 from that mother's arms and then sold to the men who ordered the child from the baby store. 0.81

00:27:11.880 And I was thinking about this last night because it's a longstanding common joke when you're talking

00:27:19.140 to, you know, like a little kid. I do this with my kids sometimes and the kids are really acting up,

00:27:23.560 you know, or they're crying and say, you know, if you keep whining, I'm going to return you to the

00:27:27.000 baby store. Don't make, I'm going to have to call and get a refund from the baby store. Ha ha,

00:27:32.280 tee hee hee. But that joke, which was an absurdity for all of human history until five minutes ago,

00:27:37.280 is now a reality. It's a reality in that there are now baby stores, which is

00:27:42.260 at the very heart of the problems with the IVF and surrogacy industry is you turn people away from

00:27:48.700 being proper subjects with, with human rights, with, you know, a place in society into being

00:27:55.860 objects to be bought and sold on an open market. That's one of the big problems with, with the IVF

00:28:00.900 and surrogacy industry. But, but not only do you, do you have that happening? Not only do you have the

00:28:05.740 existence of the baby store, but, but now in some cases you can sort of return the baby to the baby

00:28:12.300 store. There was a famous case. I talked about it on the show just a few months ago of two guys who

00:28:18.340 ordered a baby and then the, they rented the woman's womb. They bought the egg. They went to 0.97

00:28:25.060 the woman's womb. And then the woman had to have a certain medical treatments. I think she came down

00:28:29.780 with cancer. And so the baby was damaged. You know, the baby was injured as the baby was growing. And

00:28:37.120 so the, the guys said, okay, we'll kill the baby. We don't, we don't want a baby who's going to have 0.99

00:28:41.300 any abnormalities. We don't want a baby who's going to have any kind of mental disabilities or physical

00:28:47.100 disabilities. So kill it. And the woman said, I don't want to kill the baby. And the men said, 1.00

00:28:50.720 well, it's our baby. You know, you're just the womb. We're just renting your womb. That's our, 0.95

00:28:53.880 that baby's our property. And if we want to kill that baby, we're going to kill that baby. 1.00

00:28:56.880 Uh, major, major problem. Uh, you, you've seen cases of lawsuits where the, the couple of guys 1.00

00:29:03.160 will go to the baby store, the IVF factory, and they'll say, okay, we want a boy, you know,

00:29:07.620 or we want a girl. I guess it would be, usually guys want guys, you know, a little, a little boy

00:29:12.060 to play catch with or something. And so they go, they order the boy and then they end up getting

00:29:15.540 a girl, but they don't want a girl. So they say, okay, kill it. We don't want it. Return it to the 1.00

00:29:18.940 baby store. So anyway, all of this to say, uh, really terrible situation for human dignity and bioethics.

00:29:26.880 And Tim Kaine has decided to make that his cause, his cause celeb. It's just all weird

00:29:33.780 sex stuff that cuts against the natural law and the rights of individuals and against human dignity. 0.69

00:29:42.060 Now there's a kind of a fun announcement that I get to make here amid all this terrible news,

00:29:47.780 which is that I will also be attending the state of the union. I'm, I'm really honored to say I was

00:29:54.400 invited by, uh, my Congressman, Congressman Andy Ogles. I will be his guest at the state of the

00:29:59.020 union. And it's always an honor to, to go, you know, you're there in this joint session, uh, with

00:30:04.940 the president of the United States and the Supreme court, joint chiefs of staff, the house of

00:30:09.480 representatives, the Senate, all the rest. Uh, but it's a, it's a special honor this year to attend

00:30:14.440 the state of the union, because I think I am possibly the only guest who has been invited to the

00:30:21.200 state of the union, uh, not for having an abortion, not for promoting abortion, not for promoting any

00:30:28.480 of these, uh, attacks on, uh, human dignity and the natural law. So what a real honor. There are

00:30:35.300 some other people who have been invited. I'm skipping over a number of guests here, uh, but, but some

00:30:39.320 aren't even going like in this case, Alexei Navalny's widow, the Russian opposition leader who was just

00:30:45.800 killed by Putin. His widow, uh, was invited. She can't make it. So the Democrats really, they'll,

00:30:51.860 they'll invite lots of other people. And the, the other members of Congress and the senators

00:30:55.540 will invite various guests. Some will be family members of theirs. Some will be donors of theirs.

00:31:00.140 Some will be guests to make a political point. Um, a huge number of them on the Democrat side are

00:31:09.740 leaning into this issue. They want this to be the issue for 2024 vote for us in 2024. We'll help you

00:31:17.260 kill your kids. We'll let you buy kids on the open market. We vote for us. Okay. Uh, I don't think 1.00

00:31:23.160 that's a really great campaign theme that, you know, far be it for me to advise the Democrat party.

00:31:27.800 But in any case, I will very much look forward to being there, not only to witness some history

00:31:33.040 happen tomorrow, but also to provide a little bit of a philosophical counterbalance, a political

00:31:40.100 counterbalance to some really, really heinous guest decision. Is your home's title still in your name

00:32:14.780 beyond the United States on this issue of abortion. France has just voted to make abortion a constitutional

00:32:22.340 right. France has become the first country in the world to explicitly include a right to

00:32:29.760 abortion in its constitution. How do they do this? French constitution works a little bit different

00:32:35.480 from ours. The France's revolution was a little different from ours. The American revolution was

00:32:40.380 much more conservative. The French revolution was extremely radical and bloody. And so France has a

00:32:46.360 constitutional council and France's parliamentarians have voted to revise the country's 1958 constitution

00:32:54.000 to enshrine abortion as a matter of women's freedom. So this has been building for a while. In a 2001

00:33:02.660 ruling, France's constitutional council based its approval of abortion on the notion of liberty enshrined

00:33:11.080 in the 1789 declaration of the rights of man. So this is the document that expresses the view of the French

00:33:19.700 revolution. And it's technically part of the constitution. And that to me is the key to the

00:33:25.980 whole thing. Since the French revolution, since 1789, you have seen bloody, bloody radicalism in France

00:33:36.300 and spilling out throughout Europe. And this new abortion law is just the latest bloodshedding

00:33:42.160 from that revolution. How many babies will be killed because of this can't even be estimated.

00:33:50.160 But this is part of the revolution, you know. I mean, I won't sing the French national anthem in

00:33:57.880 French because my French isn't very good. But it's right there in the lyrics. Her bloody standard has 0.97

00:34:03.780 been raised. Do you hear in the countryside the roar of those ferocious soldiers? They come right into

00:34:10.080 your arms, to tear the throats of your sons. This is the lyrics of the French national anthem.

00:34:18.440 Allons vente la patrie. I said I wouldn't do it, but there you have it. But the lyrics are very,

00:34:23.780 very bloody because the French revolution, which overthrew the church and the throne,

00:34:29.460 which you can never really overthrow the church, but it overturned the altar at least.

00:34:34.020 You know, it's where we have the origins of the modern terms right and left. The right and the

00:34:42.400 left first described where people were sitting in the National Assembly. And on the right, you had the

00:34:47.300 conservatives who were the monarchists and the Catholics. And on the left, you had the leftists.

00:34:53.620 You had the revolutionaries. You had the people who were secular, atheistic, and leveling and

00:34:59.300 egalitarian and all the rest of it. And unfortunately, they won. And that bloodiness has 1.00

00:35:04.060 been written in from the beginning. And you know what else is crazy? Even with this horrific turn

00:35:12.200 of events in France, France still broadly has a more conservative abortion policy than the United

00:35:18.660 States. The United States doesn't have any guaranteed right to an abortion any longer in 0.79

00:35:23.000 the Constitution. Though liberal jurists pretended that we did until, what, two years ago? They

00:35:28.560 pretended that we did for almost 50 years because of the Rev. Wade decision. So actually, I guess we

00:35:33.160 were ahead of the curve, even vis-a-vis revolutionary France. But furthermore, in certain states in the

00:35:41.500 country, you could have an abortion until the moment of birth or after birth, I guess in the case of

00:35:47.120 Virginia, according to Democrat Governor Ralph Northam. The baby comes out, you don't want the baby.

00:35:50.920 You can make him comfortable and then wait to see if you want to kill him or not. 0.52

00:35:53.280 In France, the limit used to be 12 weeks. And then they raised it some years ago to be 14 weeks.

00:36:00.380 But there's still a clear limit on when you can have an abortion. So we read this news in France.

00:36:04.680 We say, oh my goodness gracious, this is so bloody. This is so horrific. This is so evil. And then you

00:36:08.500 look at the policy in the United States. You say, well, our own policy has been just as bad. And

00:36:14.900 practically speaking, a lot of the country is much worse. Really causes an American to take a look in

00:36:19.940 the mirror. Speaking of actions overseas, Russia has been in the headlines for weeks thanks to the

00:36:26.600 actions of Vladimir Putin. To comprehend Putin's motivations, we must examine the historical context

00:36:31.860 that shaped his behaviors. In the new season of what we saw in Empire of Terror, host Bill Whittle

00:36:36.300 unmasks communism by taking a close look at the history of the Soviet Union. With the use of deep 0.74

00:36:40.960 cut photographs in film, journal entries, and other primary sources, this tale of terror offers a

00:36:46.260 compelling presentation of the horrors that plagued the Soviet Union and the viciousness of its leaders. 0.94

00:36:51.180 Modern day Russia has been centuries in the making. This series will give you a better 0.95

00:36:55.120 understanding of its history, as well as the communism that threatens our homeland. Watch episode

00:37:20.540 No, you won't. Because lowercase g, lowercase k, Mr. God King Jeremy Boring demanded that I not

00:37:28.040 shave for a couple days for a secret project. We've done the secret project. I have shaven. I'm baby face

00:37:35.260 again. I am very grateful to all of you. I say all of you. There were probably three of you who said

00:37:41.760 that my whiskers in any way looked good. Some of you thought it looked kind of rugged, you know,

00:37:46.140 but most of you thought it looked filthy and disgusting, and I looked like I shouldn't be

00:37:50.980 allowed near an elementary school. So it's gone now. I feel much better. Thank you very much.

00:37:56.180 Speaking of leftism and foreign affairs, the feminist and queer theorist Judith Butler,

00:38:05.740 probably the most famous living feminist, certainly one of the most famous living feminists, 1.00

00:38:10.860 has just weighed in and gone viral for weighing in on the Israel-Palestine conflict for some reason.

00:38:17.540 We can have different views about Hamas as a political party. We can have different views

00:38:26.080 about armed resistance. But I think it is more honest and historically correct to say that the

00:38:36.960 uprising of October 7th was an act of armed resistance. It is not a terrorist attack, and it's

00:38:44.100 not an anti-Semitic attack. I would be very foolish if I then decided that the only violence in the

00:38:53.340 scene was the violence done to Israeli people. The violence done to Palestinians has been happening 0.95

00:38:59.600 for decades. This was an uprising that comes out, that comes from a state of subjugation and against

00:39:09.120 a violent state apparatus. Okay, let us be clear. Okay, let us be clear here. This is an uprising.

00:39:18.620 I guess it's the same stuff we would hear in revolutionary France. Judith Butler, I guess,

00:39:26.060 is Jewish. I just saw her lower third there said, Judith Butler, a member of Jewish Voices for Peace.

00:39:33.780 And Judith Butler would not be the only Jew who has come out in defense of the Palestine 0.78

00:39:39.900 liberation movement. Norman Finkelstein, very famously, the academic, has favored that movement.

00:39:46.860 And there are plenty of others. I mean, there's the longstanding trope of the self-hating Jew,

00:39:53.400 and Jews in particular in America tend to be pretty liberal. So actually, a lot of the loudest 0.99

00:39:58.520 pro-Palestine voices ironically tend to be Jews, and then the conservative Jews and the more religious

00:40:04.320 Jews really don't like them or that opinion, and they all kind of duke it out. The reason I bring 1.00

00:40:10.620 this up is not even really to focus on the Israel-Palestine conflict. Certainly, it's not to focus on

00:40:17.700 queer theory or feminism. It's to turn to a little rule of thumb in politics. And the rule of thumb is 1.00

00:40:25.480 when you lack knowledge about some political issue. And when we're talking about Israel-Palestine,

00:40:33.760 I mean, the one thing Judith Butler said that is certainly true is this conflict goes on for a

00:40:38.500 long time. I guess that's, in that regard, I guess she's right. But everything else, she's a little

00:40:45.180 kooky. But it goes on for a long time. Most people don't know a damn thing about it. And most of the

00:40:50.720 people who present themselves as experts on this conflict probably know less than even your average

00:40:54.660 person about the issue. But a good rule of thumb in politics is if a person is wrong about everything,

00:41:04.080 if you know that a person is wrong about feminism, you know that a person is wrong about queer theory,

00:41:08.860 you know that a person is wrong about American history, you know that a person is wrong about

00:41:13.020 academia, you know that a person is wrong about religion and philosophy and ethics and the relation

00:41:20.060 of man to man and man to state and everything else, and then you come across this person's

00:41:26.780 opinion on an issue that you don't know anything about, it's probably a pretty safe bet that the

00:41:35.360 person is wrong about that too. I remember when I was a young conservative, I was a little bit

00:41:40.940 more libertarian in my teenage years, I know. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. But I would

00:41:46.700 think, you know, the Republicans, they're right about so much, and the Democrats are right about

00:41:51.160 so much, but I don't know, these Republicans, they just need to get hip with the times, you know, and

00:41:55.960 you know, just get rid of drug laws or something. I don't know, whatever the libertarian obsession

00:42:00.860 du jour was. The Republicans, they need to back off this marriage stuff. The Republicans, they need to 0.98

00:42:05.080 back off this pro-life stuff. The Republicans, they need to back off social issues. I don't know,

00:42:08.320 whatever, whatever I thought. Something you learn over time is, if all these people,

00:42:16.700 throughout the country, for a long period of time, but even if we're just looking at present

00:42:23.540 day, if all these people agree on all of these issues, and then this other group of people, they

00:42:30.520 all broadly agree on this other set of issues, what is more likely that the two groups of people

00:42:39.620 have arrived at a basically coherent kind of set of beliefs deriving from a basically kind of

00:42:45.820 coherent set of first principles? Or that you just figured out why they're totally wrong,

00:42:51.980 and you're going to rejumble all of those political alliances? Because, you know, the Republicans and

00:42:56.900 the Democrats, they just don't really understand that actually, on marriage, they should be flipped,

00:43:00.620 or on drugs, they should be flipped, or on this or that or the other. What is more likely?

00:43:05.880 That all the people, all the really smart people, even some of the dumb people, 0.90

00:43:09.160 all of them are just totally wrong, and you alone are right, or that maybe you just haven't thought 0.77

00:43:14.940 through this issue. And if you did think through it enough, you would probably come to the conclusion

00:43:18.600 that your compatriots did. This is a rule of thumb. It's an informal, logical fallacy. I'm not

00:43:24.880 saying this is a totally slam-dunk way of thinking. But we need rules of thumb. You know,

00:43:29.940 we need little quick, we can't write a 20-page research paper for every decision we want to

00:43:33.820 make throughout the day. When you notice that AOC and Judith Butler and BLM and all the libs and all

00:43:45.000 these on your, and your purple-haired lesbian cousin who hates America and, you know, thinks that she's 0.98

00:43:51.140 a man or whatever. When they're all on this one side of this issue, this issue that maybe you don't 0.96

00:43:56.620 even care that much about, and you don't really know anything about, and it doesn't seem to affect you

00:43:59.420 that. It seems to me, at least, a pretty good bet that the other side is the preferable one,

00:44:07.960 if you have to get involved in the issue at all. Now, speaking of threats and foreign policy,

00:44:13.160 there is a new bill that is up in the House of Representatives. I think this is a brilliant bill,

00:44:19.060 very important bill. It's called the Lakin-Riley Act. The Lakin-Riley Act is a bill that would require

00:44:26.340 the Secretary of Homeland Security to take into custody illegal aliens who have been charged in

00:44:32.280 the United States with theft. Why theft? Who's Lakin-Riley? Lakin-Riley is that university student

00:44:39.700 who was murdered, allegedly, by an illegal alien. Why theft here? You could see why, and say,

00:44:47.880 okay, they have to take into custody illegal aliens who murder people. I'm not even sure that those guys

00:44:52.140 always get sent to prison. But why theft? Well, it's because this guy, the man who allegedly

00:44:59.200 murdered Lakin-Riley, illegal alien arrested after entering the country illegally in September of 2022.

00:45:06.760 Fast forward to 2023, the guy gets arrested in Queens, New York, for endangering a five-year-old son.

00:45:15.100 Five-year-old son was arrested, or the five-year-old son, rather, was riding on the back of a moped

00:45:20.140 head without a helmet. That's not good. That's according to the New York Post. Then, about a

00:45:25.960 month after this arrest in New York, he and his brother were accused of stealing from a Walmart

00:45:31.200 in Athens, Georgia. So you're noticing a pattern here. He just keeps getting arrested, keeps getting

00:45:35.580 released. When he gets arrested for shoplifting, he's given a little citation for misdemeanor

00:45:41.400 shoplifting, and he's let go. And then, allegedly, he murders this poor girl. So what's urgent about

00:45:50.280 this act is we need to stop these criminal aliens from killing innocent Americans. We need to stop 1.00

00:45:55.180 the invasion of foreigners across our border that Joe Biden is encouraging. But what's really brilliant 1.00

00:45:59.880 about this act is, one, who could disagree with this? An illegal alien gets charged with a crime, and 0.96

00:46:05.840 they have to be taken into custody. They have to be arrested. I'm not even saying deported, just they

00:46:10.280 have to be arrested. What Democrat can say, no, no, we support the right of illegal aliens to 0.98

00:46:16.540 shoplift? No, no, Democrat. I don't care how crazy you are. You can't really say that with a straight

00:46:21.400 face. And then, the second thing that's brilliant about this is it's called the Lake and Riley Act,

00:46:26.320 and it puts a face to it. The Democrats are really, really good at putting faces to problems. Look at

00:46:31.420 Tim Kaine. Tim Kaine is inviting the first person born via IVF. So we think, well, that's good. That's 0.87

00:46:36.780 good that that person exists. Never mind all the people who have been blotted out, who have been

00:46:41.680 killed with the encouragement of Democrats through abortion. You don't see those. But in this case of 0.61

00:46:46.260 this one person through IVF, we say, that's good that that person exists. You don't see the face of

00:46:50.020 the babies who were then aborted because of the IVF and surrogacy industry. You don't see the face of

00:46:54.160 the babies who were intentionally deprived of their mothers or their fathers because of the IVF and

00:46:58.500 surrogacy industry. You don't see the people being bought and sold. You just see the really,

00:47:02.020 the nicest aspect of the thing. And then, when it comes to illegal immigration, what happens?

00:47:09.140 I mean, even more at the State of the Union, you don't see the faces of the babies who are being

00:47:12.040 killed. It's just the mothers who got to have their rights. And, oh, we're putting that person 0.99

00:47:15.960 there in the gallery to highlight them during the speech. Okay. Case of illegal aliens, though, 0.99

00:47:20.980 we never see the faces of the victims of the illegal aliens. We're all, in a way, victims of the 0.95

00:47:26.440 illegal aliens because they're violating our most basic laws and undermining our right to 1.00

00:47:29.520 self-government. But you don't see the victims of the people who are killed. You just see the

00:47:34.900 dreamers, the poor, helpless foreigners. Give us your unwashed masses. No. What this act does is 1.00

00:47:41.860 says, no, there are real victims here. They need to have even some basic modicum of justice. And we

00:47:47.320 dare you, Democrats, to vote against it. The rest of the show continues now. You don't want to miss it.
