The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1446 - Republicans Call Hunter Biden's Bluff In Epic Fashion

00:00:00.000 Do you remember back in December when House Republicans tried to get Hunter Biden to testify

00:00:05.280 about his family's extreme political corruption? And Hunter refused on the basis that that

00:00:12.040 testimony was going to be behind closed doors. It wasn't going to be public.

00:00:16.540 Here is what Hunter said at the time. These same committee chairmen have engaged in

00:00:22.400 unprecedented political interference in what would have already been a five-year investigation of me.

00:00:30.000 Yet, here I am, Mr. Chairman, taking up your offer when you said we can bring these people

00:00:39.200 in for depositions or committee hearings, whichever they choose. Well, I've chosen. I am here

00:00:47.320 to testify at a public hearing today to answer any of the committee's legitimate questions.

00:00:55.920 Americans do not want an open process where Americans can see their tactics, expose their 0.97

00:01:04.540 baseless inquiry, or hear what I have to say. What are they afraid of? I'm here. I'm ready.

00:01:16.920 He is ready. Okay. You hear him? He'll testify, but ain't going to be in private. Uh-uh. No closed

00:01:34.440 door testimony. It had to be public until House Republicans invited him to testify in public,

00:01:40.880 at which point he refused. Here's a letter. This is from Hunter Biden's lawyer. I probably pity Hunter

00:01:47.900 Biden's lawyer more than I pity any other man in America. Can you imagine a worse job for a less

00:01:56.460 reputable fellow? Dear Chairman Comer, I received your March 6th letter inviting Hunter Biden to join

00:02:03.480 a panel of other witnesses at a hearing that you were attempting to arrange on March 20th. To begin,

00:02:10.300 even if that hearing was a legitimate exercise of constitutional authority, neither Mr. Biden nor I

00:02:15.260 can attend. Because of a court hearing the very next day in California. The scheduling conflict is

00:02:21.440 the least of the issues, however. So I like, it opens up, it says, hey, you're only giving me two weeks

00:02:26.840 to figure out if I can come testify at the public hearing that I asked for, that I said I would be more

00:02:31.440 than happy to testify at, uh, yeah, two weeks. We can't arrange that. Uh, but then at least the lawyer

00:02:36.100 acknowledges. He says, but look, the scheduling conflict is the least of the worries. Uh, we just

00:02:40.700 don't want to testify because we're extremely corrupt and you called our bluff. Hunter can't

00:02:46.460 testify. Can't testify in private. He can't testify in public. He can't testify in his own private

00:02:53.380 journal because the Hunter Biden scandals are not really about Hunter Biden. We've already heard the

00:02:59.920 testimony. We have the journal, we have his texts, we have his emails, we have his videos,

00:03:04.380 we have everything on his laptop. None of us cares all that much about Hunter Biden's transgressions.

00:03:11.000 We do care about his father's corruption, which we already know about. We know about it. We know

00:03:16.340 about Biden's corruption and Biden knows that we know about Biden's corruption. And we know that Biden

00:03:20.940 knows that we know about Biden's corruption. It's all kind of out there in the open already.

00:03:26.100 These guys are gangsters. That's that. They go around the world shaking down rich oligarchs,

00:03:34.600 selling American influence. They've done it for years, stonewalling, demanding hearings,

00:03:39.760 then saying they're not going to show up to the hearings and they're going to shake their hand

00:03:43.660 underneath their chin. If you tell them otherwise, these guys are gangsters. And when it comes to the

00:03:48.460 2024 election, they're going to act like it. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show.

00:03:56.100 Welcome back to the show. The House of Representatives has passed a bill banning TikTok. I mentioned

00:04:17.560 yesterday on the show that I aspire to be an influencer. I just have to become a chick and hot 0.98

00:04:24.040 and younger. And then I, too, could be a TikTok influencer. Well, that dream is gone

00:04:29.340 because the House seems dead set on banning the Chinese app from America. We will get to what

00:04:36.660 that means. First, though, a platform where I still do have some influence. YouTube. Make sure you ring

00:04:42.200 that bell. Subscribe to the Michael Knowles YouTube channel. Smash it. Click it. Ding it. Dong it. Whatever

00:04:49.000 you got to do. Democrats are admitting that this election is going to be cynical. There's not going

00:04:59.780 to be an uplifting, elevating sort of debate, civil discourse. There's not going to be good faith

00:05:07.940 promises made and kept. It's going to be a cynical play. Chris Murphy, who is the Democrat senator from

00:05:14.700 Connecticut, he just admitted on Twitter that Democrats pretty much can only win this election

00:05:22.680 on envy. These are his words. I don't want to put words in his mouth. This is what Senator Murphy

00:05:27.660 said. He said, quote, a new study showing that four out of five Democratic candidates don't talk about

00:05:33.140 billionaire and corporate power. Democrats cannot win if we just talk about programs. We need to tell a

00:05:41.720 story about how the concentration and wealth and power is ruining America. So Murphy is an old school

00:05:52.480 dem. He wants to talk about the millionaires and the billionaires. He sounds like Bernie Sanders, but

00:05:59.660 a little bit more urbane in New England, I guess. Same story, though. We're going to win by convincing

00:06:08.220 the poor people to go eat the rich people. That's a little old school Democrat party. The more modern

00:06:15.680 Democrats focus their envy more on identity politics. So, you know, getting black people to 0.79

00:06:22.860 hate white people or getting women to hate men or getting sexual deviance to hate normal people or

00:06:29.120 whatever it is. They're trying to make the envy a little bit more about cultural matters and identity

00:06:37.240 matters. Murphy goes back to the tried and true strategy of getting the poor to hate the rich

00:06:42.680 and convincing the poor that if they hate the rich, that's going to make the poor richer somehow.

00:06:47.680 In any case, it's always about envy. And envy is a sin. It's one of the deadly sins, actually.

00:06:57.720 But this is what the liberals always go to. I don't think I'm being hyperbolic or needlessly

00:07:02.800 provocative to say that the Democrats appeal to sin. They have parades for the deadliest of the

00:07:11.100 seven deadly sins, pride. But all of the other ones, too. Sloth. You shouldn't have to work. You

00:07:18.540 should just be entitled to fruits of other people's labor. Or envy, obviously. Or lust. I mean, we see

00:07:26.800 that everywhere. Or gluttony, even. You know, let's go body positivity, baby. Stuff your face. No limits. 0.91

00:07:33.220 This is the kind of thing they appeal to. And I'm not saying Republicans are always paragons of virtue.

00:07:40.160 But at least they talk like it some of the time. And hypocrisy is the tribute that vice pays to

00:07:46.400 virtue. This is what this is coming down to. And I guess the Democrats have been here for a long time.

00:07:53.300 But they have to appeal to the base passions when they've got nothing else. He says it's not enough

00:07:58.880 to just talk about programs. Yeah, because your programs are terrible. No one likes them. They

00:08:04.000 don't work. If your programs worked, then that would tell the story. This is the language he uses. He

00:08:08.660 doesn't want to say, appeal to envy, soak the rich. So he says, we need to tell a story. Yeah,

00:08:13.260 duh. Whenever you speak, you're telling a story. What story are you telling? You're telling a story

00:08:17.260 that appeals to envy and low passions. Why? Because the story about your programs and the story about

00:08:23.060 your accomplishments is not very impressive. It's impressive in as much as it's shocking what

00:08:28.620 a terrible job you've done. So you can't tell a story on the border. You can't really tell a story

00:08:32.900 on the economy. The Democrats try. But people know when they go to the grocery store that their

00:08:38.540 carton of milk is now like $10 billion an ounce. I don't know the exact milk prices. My wife does the 1.00

00:08:43.860 shopping. But everyone knows. If you even look at your household budget, basic stuff that you want to

00:08:49.480 buy now, three years into the Biden administration, is much more expensive. People are experiencing

00:08:53.620 hard times, no matter what the GDP numbers say, no matter what the liberal economists say on TV.

00:08:59.240 They can't tell that story. They can't tell a story about global affairs. America's back. Maybe

00:09:04.080 we're leading the world. No, we've got the outbreak of the first major war in Europe since

00:09:08.720 World War II. You've got the outbreak of a serious war in the Middle East. And you've got a 0.66

00:09:13.480 foreign invasion, which lumps back into immigration. So they don't have that kind of

00:09:17.920 positive story. It's not enough for them to talk about programs true. They've got to appeal

00:09:22.060 to envy and sin and other low passions if they even want to have a chance. Now, what is the

00:09:30.260 alternative here? Could they possibly, even if they can't talk about Biden's policy achievements,

00:09:38.560 of which there are none, could they at least talk about how Biden is a great inspirational leader?

00:09:44.360 I mean, Barack Obama was terrible when it comes to policy. The country became much more miserable

00:09:49.180 under his watch, but his personality still appealed to a lot of people. Didn't exactly appeal to me,

00:09:55.460 probably didn't appeal to you, but it did appeal to a lot of Americans. He was taken, and especially

00:09:59.640 because he's the first black president, he was taken to be a symbol of inspiration, even if he

00:10:05.260 personally wasn't all that inspirational. What about Biden? Is Biden a symbol of inspiration? I don't

00:10:10.820 think so. You recall there was that special counsel investigation into Biden because Biden,

00:10:20.640 everything they accused Trump of doing, Biden has just done in a worse way. But the special counsel

00:10:26.160 did not prosecute Joe Biden for doing a more egregious version of some of the crimes they're

00:10:31.960 accusing Trump of doing. And the reason that the special counsel didn't prosecute him,

00:10:36.480 it would seem, is that Joe Biden is really senile. And the special counsel came out and said it would

00:10:42.400 be fruitless to prosecute this guy. He's going to seem like a doddering, somewhat sympathetic,

00:10:47.300 declining old man. So now we have the transcript, thanks to the House Republicans.

00:10:55.260 I now understand why Hunter Biden doesn't exactly want to testify before these people,

00:10:59.220 because they're coming to get answers. And unfortunately, this is just absolutely brutal.

00:11:07.500 This transcript of the interview totally buttresses the account of the special counsel.

00:11:16.540 Here are just a few of the things that Joe Biden asked. He asked, when did I announce for president

00:11:22.840 in 2019? When did I announce? He obviously doesn't remember when he announced for president. He said,

00:11:29.580 if it was 2013, when did I stop being vice president? When did I stop? Joe Biden gets elected

00:11:36.320 vice president in 2008. He's there until 2016. So we're talking about smack dab in the middle

00:11:41.980 of this administration. It was 2013. When did I stop being vice president? In 2009, am I still vice

00:11:48.080 president? Trump gets elected in November of 2017? Huh? No, it's 2016. Even that, it's not even that

00:11:55.860 he's just mistaking one year for another, which would be bad enough. But we don't hold elections

00:12:01.680 on odd-numbered years, generally, for the president, right? Four-year terms, we tend to hold them

00:12:06.820 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020. Remember, that was when Biden got elected. Really, really brutal. On the same

00:12:13.820 day, twice, Biden struggled to find the words for fax machine. You see where there's a printer? This

00:12:21.780 is what he said. You see where there's a printer and there's a, what do they call it? The machine

00:12:26.920 that, and then the White House counsel had to tell him the phrase fax machine. So bad. There's a lot

00:12:35.920 more to this, but we've got, we've got this coming out. The specificity is what is so brutal. The fact

00:12:44.020 that not only are we hearing abstract stories about Biden kind of losing it, we're seeing it. We're

00:12:50.660 seeing it on camera. We're seeing it when the special counsel transcripts are being released.

00:12:53.840 We will see it as the House continues to investigate Biden and his administration, which is why they've got

00:13:00.520 the stonewall and they've got nothing to offer other than to point at the Republicans and say,

00:13:03.940 look at how terrible they are. Trump is a fascist and the Republicans, uh, go eat them. The

00:13:10.800 Republicans, they're, they're the cause of your problems. Republicans don't have political power

00:13:14.100 right now, man. We don't, we're out other than the House where we try to hold investigations and

00:13:19.160 the Democrats won't speak. Is your home's title still in your name? With one forged document,

00:13:55.360 Democrat governor, Kathy Hochul has come to a, a novel perspective on the crisis at the Southern border.

00:14:02.640 And that perspective is that despite the DHS department being run by Alejandro Mayorkas Democrat,

00:14:09.420 despite the white house, which is ultimately in control of this being run by Joe Biden now for

00:14:14.120 three years, despite many liberal activists and politicians, including the president, encouraging the

00:14:20.620 invasion across the Southern border and grounding it in, in radical ideological statements, such as

00:14:26.820 no person is illegal, such as this is not our land, such as these foreign nationals are future 1.00

00:14:35.540 undocumented Americans. Despite all of that, Kathy Hochul says the crisis at the border

00:14:40.000 is the Republicans fault. We are a nation of immigrants. I'm sitting here because

00:14:45.200 my grandparents were teenagers in Ireland leaving great poverty. Grandpa started as a migrant farm 0.96

00:14:56.420 worker himself in South Dakota in the wheat fields. The Republicans in Congress and in the Senate

00:15:02.280 said no because Donald Trump called them up one night, the night before they should have voted on this

00:15:08.880 to send 2000 more agents or border patrol people to the border. I need some on the northern border.

00:15:15.140 By the way, we border Canada money for states like New York that would have helped us a lot

00:15:20.580 and just have a different path to citizenship and look at the asylum and whether it's too loose right

00:15:26.140 now, the way it's being used and probably abused. So I blame the Republicans. Now the mess was

00:15:32.460 bipartisan before that Democrats and Republicans have not successfully found a way to have a path to

00:15:37.440 legal citizenship because the employers want this. Does anyone really believe this? I don't think so.

00:15:43.320 I don't think Kathy Hochul believes it. I don't think the ladies at The View even believe it. And I

00:15:48.180 certainly don't think that the average American voter believes it. They have seen Joe Biden going and

00:15:55.920 sending in federal agents to remove border wall. Some of the border wall that Trump built, some of the border wall

00:16:04.560 that Texas built. Not only not helping to stop the invasion, but actually encouraging it. 0.67

00:16:12.520 They've heard Joe Biden calling for these people to come to America. They've seen the reports of the flights,

00:16:19.140 Joe Biden flying these people all around. And furthermore, they know that we don't need some new

00:16:25.540 immigration law. It's not as though all of a sudden, six months ago, the Democrats said,

00:16:32.480 oh my goodness, we have, for the first time ever, we have people trying to enter our country illegally. 0.78

00:16:36.920 We ought to pass an immigration law. Oh, by golly, how do we make it this long? Centuries in this 0.96

00:16:42.860 country without any immigration laws. Darn, we really need to pass one. Why won't you Republicans

00:16:46.660 help us pass one? We have immigration laws. The Democrats won't enforce them. 0.99

00:16:54.080 We got the laws. There's a lot of money. There's a lot of laws. The Democrats are intentionally not

00:17:00.060 enforcing them. Alejandro Mayorkas is being impeached because he refuses to enforce the laws that are

00:17:06.040 already on the books to do his job. What's one more law going to do? Nothing. There is no reason to

00:17:14.520 believe that if the Republicans pass some new immigration law, magically, all of a sudden,

00:17:19.260 that's the one the Democrats are going to enforce. That was a trap the whole time.

00:17:24.000 And the Republicans didn't take the bait, I'm very pleased to say. Some of the squishes did want to

00:17:29.180 take the bait, but Trump and other conservatives called the Republican members of Congress and said,

00:17:37.120 hey, don't take the bait. This is a total loser. And then the Democrats, once you take the bait

00:17:41.140 on this bogus immigration law, which one, would be terrible. It would actually increase the number 1.00

00:17:47.140 of migrants of foreign nations surging to the border to update 8,500 a day before they really

00:17:51.900 lift a finger to stop it. And it would provide all sorts of things that Kathy Hochul wants, a pathway 0.94

00:17:57.420 to future citizenship for these poor beleaguered economic migrants who are violating our basic 1.00

00:18:04.760 laws. The moment the Republicans took that bait, then the Republicans credibly, or the Democrats

00:18:09.500 credibly could say, oh yeah, it's Republicans' fault too. That's what she's so desperate is. She's 0.71

00:18:14.900 saying, well, it's both parties' fault, and now it's the Republicans' fault that we're not enforcing

00:18:19.620 the laws that are already on the books. They're going to blame us anyway, but they would have had a lot

00:18:24.300 more credibility to do so had Republicans followed the squishes and the libs, and had they not followed

00:18:32.320 Trump and the conservatives and said, no thanks. So they're going to try to blame us for Biden's

00:18:40.420 immigration crisis. They're also now apparently going to try to blame us for COVID and for the

00:18:47.000 COVID lockdowns that they primarily pushed. Joy Reid, liberal talking head who makes it on all sorts of

00:18:55.240 conservative shows because she's among the wackiest on cable TV. Joy Reid comes out, and she says, 0.99

00:19:00.180 Donald Trump, during COVID, that guy was stacking dead bodies. Which era do you want to relive?

00:19:06.940 The chaotic, frankly, insane four years of crazy tweets, migrant kids ripped from their parents' arms, 0.96

00:19:13.480 random fights with our allies, and a million bodies in the ground due to COVID? The bodies stacked up in

00:19:19.360 refrigerated trucks because the hospitals ran out of room, the states fighting over ventilators,

00:19:24.760 the old people dying by themselves and saying their goodbyes on iPads, the economy literally 0.96

00:19:31.620 collapsing and all of us stuck in our homes for a year, kids having to graduate from high school

00:19:37.300 and college on Zoom, or the Biden era, where the president is old, yes, and set in his ways and

00:19:44.080 some of his policies infuriating. Trump didn't want to deal with a public health catastrophe.

00:19:48.440 He didn't want to take the blame or get bad press. So instead, he spent months pushing crack science,

00:19:55.280 taking advice from snake oil salesmen instead of public health experts. He mainstreamed the

00:20:00.740 anti-vax movement, which is going so strong today that we are facing measles outbreaks among

00:20:07.160 unvaccinated children. This is the most scattershot, internally inconsistent attack on Donald Trump

00:20:15.820 I have seen yet, which is really saying something. There's so much more to say. First, though, go to

00:21:56.460 coronavirus? I don't think Trump, for all of his sins, I don't think Trump was over there in the lab

00:22:02.340 in Wuhan, you know, stirring up Petri dishes. She's saying we shouldn't go back to Trump because if you

00:22:10.320 go back to Trump, we'll get COVID again. I mean, in a way that's possibly true since the practical

00:22:15.260 effect of COVID was changing all the election laws so that the Democrats could rig it in their own

00:22:19.220 favor. So I don't know, maybe they will do a COVID again. But in any case, I don't think you can blame

00:22:22.720 Trump for the virus. And then she accuses him of doing too much to address COVID. The whole economy

00:22:34.260 collapsed. We shut down the whole economy. It's true. It is true. The government under Trump did

00:22:38.680 shut down large parts of the economy. That's unfortunate. I mean, in some ways, it was largely,

00:22:45.440 it was driven by the Democrats pressuring him to do that. And the libs and people like,

00:22:49.380 yours truly, Dr. Fauci. But then in the next breath, she accuses him of not doing enough

00:22:57.220 to address COVID. So which is it? He created COVID. Then he overreacted by taking the virus

00:23:05.260 too seriously and making sure that people do too much to protect themselves, so much so that he

00:23:10.940 locked down the whole country. But then he actually didn't do anything at all. And he didn't lock down

00:23:14.420 the country and he didn't tell people to protect themselves. And he pushed quack science. Also, by the

00:23:18.600 way, we're talking about something that happened over three years ago. Almost, I guess, almost exactly

00:23:27.940 three years ago now. Yeah, almost middle of March was when we heard 15 days to slow the spread. And

00:23:34.680 that kept going. This is the best they've got? A three-year-old story that is, even in their own

00:23:42.440 attacks, totally inconsistent and contradictory. What do they argue? Do they want to say that Trump

00:23:48.520 was too hard during COVID? Do they want to say he was too lenient? They don't know because

00:23:51.620 their voters can't even agree on that. And people also don't really remember the details because it

00:23:57.340 was so long ago. This was the DeSantis campaign. The DeSantis campaign was predicated on how good

00:24:03.880 DeSantis was during COVID and how he was relatively better than Trump. And it went nowhere. And it went

00:24:09.700 nowhere because people want to know what you've done for me lately. Because people in politics tend to

00:24:16.040 have short attention spans. But in this case, the Biden campaign can't even say,

00:24:21.380 we did such a great job during COVID. Because they were doing the same stuff Trump was doing

00:24:25.420 in a lot of cases. The worst aspects of Trump's COVID policy were being pushed by the Democrats.

00:24:32.060 And that actually helped to increase the popularity of Republican governors who said no to the Democrats,

00:24:38.080 like Ron DeSantis. But even Ron DeSantis doesn't get helped by it too much because it was three years

00:24:42.540 ago and no one cares anymore. This is the best they got. That is a terrifying fact for the Democrats.

00:24:51.000 But then I think, I put myself in Joy Reid's shoes. I put myself in the Biden family's shoes. I put

00:24:54.820 myself in the White House strategist's shoes. What else are they going to run on?

00:25:00.600 Trump's a criminal? Oh, shoot, we're criminals.

00:25:02.340 There's a border crisis? Well, the border was a lot better under Trump. Well, the economy? Well,

00:25:10.980 the economy was a lot better under Trump too. Until COVID, which we said was a really big deal

00:25:15.820 and we made you shut the country down over. What are we left with? Pretty soon, Joe Biden is going

00:25:22.440 to be arguing about how things were so much better when he was in the Senate in 1973. They're going to

00:25:26.400 just have to keep going back and back and back and back because everything they've done lately

00:25:30.460 has been so disastrous. What's the theme of the Biden campaign? Tell me the theme. I don't think

00:25:38.200 I'm being unnecessarily harsh here. I don't think I'm being, I'm just being a Republican hack or

00:25:44.840 something. I can't point to the theme. That Biden's theme in 2020 was Trump's a racist. Remember the

00:25:51.520 first campaign ad for Biden was Trump called Nazis good people in Charlottesville, which didn't happen

00:25:57.000 obviously. But that was it. Trump's a racist. Is that, are they going to run on that again? I guess

00:26:03.180 that's what Kara Swisher, the liberal journalist said should happen on CNN. Call Trump a racist and 1.00

00:26:08.100 a fascist and a rapist. But none of that's really working, I don't think, because the poll numbers,

00:26:13.600 which have been relatively reliable, at least in the Republican primary, show that the more they do

00:26:17.680 that, the higher Trump's numbers go. So what do they got? Let me know. Actually, don't let me know.

00:26:22.800 Let Joe Biden know. He's the one who's asking for it. Speaking of the Republican presidential nomination,

00:26:27.440 Trump officially has clinched the nomination. I feel like I have said that some version of that

00:26:33.720 statement about a dozen times on the show, but it's because there just continue to be more official

00:26:41.320 markers that he's the, so one would be when the other candidates in the primary no longer have a

00:26:47.960 mathematical path to victory. It's okay. Trump's the nominee. Then you'd say when they drop out of

00:26:53.160 the race, you say, okay, Trump now doesn't have any challengers. So he's officially the nominee.

00:26:56.780 Well, now he's not formally the nominee until they go to the party convention, but he has clinched

00:27:03.180 the GOP nomination after winning four more primaries because he now has the requisite delegates

00:27:09.540 to win. You need 1,215 delegates to win the nomination after the primaries in Georgia,

00:27:18.900 Mississippi, Hawaii, and Washington. Trump has 1,241. He's the guy. Even if Marianne Williamson

00:27:26.900 switches parties, runs in the Republican primary, even if any of the other candidates unsuspend their

00:27:31.280 campaigns, it's over. The only way to stop Trump from being the nominee is for a lightning bolt to come

00:27:35.620 out of the Democrats or out of the sky to kill him before the nomination. God forbid.

00:27:40.540 Say what you will about Trump. He does not face the same problem Biden does.

00:27:45.760 Biden has no campaign theme. Trump has one. Trump's campaign theme is American greatness.

00:27:53.020 That's it. There are different kinds of Republican campaign themes over the years. One is shrink the

00:28:01.060 government, get the government off my back. Another one is go bomb the Middle East. You know, 1.00

00:28:06.880 let's spread democracy all around the world. Another one is we're going to be compassionate

00:28:12.220 conservatives, a kinder, gentler conservatism. There have been a lot of different themes.

00:28:18.220 Trump's is American greatness. We're going to make America great again. There's an irony here,

00:28:23.700 which is that perhaps the most consistent and hysterical critic of Donald Trump from within

00:28:31.600 formerly influential Republican circles is probably Bill Kristol, former chief of staff to Dan Quayle,

00:28:38.540 the vice president for George Bush and former editor of the Weekly Standard and one of the leaders of

00:28:43.740 the Never Trump movement. But Bill Kristol, not so long ago, called for this theme, American greatness.

00:28:51.240 There have been a lot of Republicans who have recognized this is a strong theme.

00:28:54.800 Get the government off my back might appeal to some people on certain issues in practical ways.

00:29:01.320 It's not a winning campaign message. You don't win campaigns by saying you won't do things.

00:29:06.960 That's not how it works. You don't win campaigns. You don't inspire people by saying,

00:29:12.600 if you elect me, I won't do anything. I'll sit on my hands. He who governs least governs best.

00:29:20.000 That might work for certain libertarian think tank policy wonks. It's not going to resonate for people.

00:29:28.880 Bombing the Middle East, that's not going to resonate for people these days either, I don't think.

00:29:33.900 Compassionate conservatism, we're going to be more like the squishes. I don't think that's going to resonate. 1.00

00:29:37.800 But American greatness, make America great again, that appeals to a lot of people.

00:29:42.480 And that has been Trump's theme. There have been other Republicans who have used that.

00:29:46.020 Ronald Reagan would be one of them, make America great again.

00:29:48.260 I think Nixon actually used that theme even before Reagan.

00:29:53.200 That's a strong theme. Compared to what's Biden's slogan?

00:29:56.660 Come on, Jack, we're going to have some ice cream, Jack.

00:30:02.540 Or make America great again. Which one are you voting for?

00:30:05.360 How are we going to make America great again?

00:30:08.000 Well, one way the House Republicans are doing it is by banning TikTok.

00:30:12.000 Obviously, this will have to go to the Senate, and then will have to be signed by the President.

00:30:16.100 So a lot of hurdles left. But the House has approved this bill, the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act,

00:30:24.440 which calls for China to divest TikTok, or for the app to just be banned in the United States.

00:30:31.760 This bill has become very controversial, even among Republicans, even among conservative Republicans.

00:30:36.640 So on the one hand, you've got Thomas Massey, who's very conservative and quite libertarian.

00:30:44.420 But he's not one of the libertarians on the Internet.

00:30:47.000 He's one of the guys who's so libertarian that he's actually kind of conservative again.

00:30:51.040 Anyway, I like Massey, but he totally opposes it.

00:30:53.720 Meanwhile, it was introduced by Mike Gallagher, and other Republicans obviously support it, from the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party.

00:31:06.460 What do I think about this? I mentioned yesterday on the show.

00:31:09.280 I think the ban TikTok bill is really a battle between the libertarians and the nationalists.

00:31:16.240 The libertarians say, don't regulate my Internet. Don't regulate anything.

00:31:19.120 You know, you're just, if you regulate this application and this website, then you're probably going to use that to regulate other things.

00:31:25.240 And you're going to go after X, and you're going to go after all the Republicans.

00:31:28.880 Don't get your government hands out of my Internet.

00:31:31.640 And they've got something of a point.

00:31:33.260 The nationalists are going to say, hey, libertarians, shut up.

00:31:36.100 What do you mean I can't even stop a foreign adversary? 0.99

00:31:38.320 The Chinese Communist Party is using TikTok to melt the brains of my children. 0.98

00:31:42.180 They're specifically targeting kids.

00:31:43.680 Uh-uh, I don't think so.

00:31:44.640 We're going to assert our political liberty to kick these guys out of America.

00:31:51.160 So which is it?

00:31:52.720 How do we figure out who's right?

00:31:53.760 Because they actually both have a point.

00:31:55.000 I think the entire debate should revolve around two questions.

00:31:59.800 Does this actually involve national security?

00:32:04.620 Is China actually using TikTok to melt the brains of American citizens and specifically young people?

00:32:10.940 If so, we should take that seriously.

00:32:12.400 And I think there's a lot of evidence they are.

00:32:13.640 That's the first question.

00:32:14.900 Second one, is TikTok good for America?

00:32:19.760 Is it good?

00:32:21.140 Do we benefit from TikTok?

00:32:23.420 I don't know.

00:32:23.940 I'm on TikTok even though I'm not a hot young Zoomer girl. 1.00

00:32:26.960 You know, but I think I still have an account somewhere.

00:32:28.880 I don't run it, but someone runs it.

00:32:30.680 I don't know.

00:32:31.100 I guess we get our message out there.

00:32:33.980 Is it good for America?

00:32:35.680 If it's not, then what are we even arguing about?

00:32:39.700 It's not good.

00:32:40.440 But why do we keep allowing, because of some idol that we've made out of choice, why do we keep allowing so many bad things to fester in America?

00:32:50.380 Well, you know, look, heroin might not be good for you, but I'll defend to the death your right to shoot it up.

00:32:56.240 Why?

00:32:57.220 I won't.

00:32:58.420 I'm not going to defend that at all.

00:33:00.760 Stop it.

00:33:01.520 Ban it.

00:33:02.360 Ban it, baby. 0.99

00:33:04.420 Which is it?

00:33:05.220 The Republicans have to answer those two questions.

00:33:07.920 Depending on the answers to those questions, you can make a reasonable argument for one or the other.

00:33:12.420 Now, speaking of these tech platforms, very scary study out of UChicago.

00:33:18.460 Meta, which is the parent company for Facebook, has these headsets where you get trapped in virtual reality.

00:33:25.680 Meta has decided to push the product out into the public before it's totally clear that you won't get hacked and have your brain, you know, poked and prodded and deceived by all sorts of bad actors.

00:33:46.560 So this study out of Chicago shows that inception attacks on meta VR headsets can trap users in a fake virtual reality environment.

00:33:57.260 That is, like, the scariest thing I've ever heard.

00:33:59.640 Now, what does that really mean?

00:34:02.160 The reality is slightly less scary.

00:34:04.380 It's not like you're just totally locked in there forever and you try to raise your hands to take the goggles off and you can't.

00:34:08.660 It's not quite like that.

00:34:09.680 But you can be really deceived.

00:34:13.020 Researchers have exposed this potential security vulnerability.

00:34:16.240 It's the inception attack, which allows an attacker to spy on and control a user's VR environment.

00:34:22.740 And what's really scary is only a third of the study participants noticed the glitch when their session was hijacked.

00:34:29.640 So they can hack in without the user knowing, control the user's VR environment, steal information, and manipulate interactions between users.

00:34:40.680 They could trap the user inside a single malicious VR application that masquerades as the full system.

00:34:45.940 So, I'm a Luddite, but from my limited understanding here, it would seem that you think that you're using the whole system.

00:34:53.120 You think that you're seeing your environment and interacting with all of it.

00:34:55.540 But actually, you're just being trapped in a rabbit hole that's totally being controlled by the hacker.

00:35:02.500 However, I'm not at all surprised to read this.

00:35:07.580 It makes me even less inclined to put on the goggles, but I never wanted to put the goggles on in the first place.

00:35:13.920 Because, as my friend Spencer Clavin pointed out, the pitch of the virtual reality goggles is,

00:35:18.420 Hey, would you rather live in the world that God gave you?

00:35:22.360 You know, the big, beautiful world with birds and fish and sunshine and people and music.

00:35:27.280 Would you rather live in that world?

00:35:28.940 Or would you rather live in a dystopian hellscape that Mark Zuckerberg made for you?

00:35:34.480 Who do you think makes a better world?

00:35:36.060 God or some weirdo geek in Silicon Valley?

00:35:40.620 For me, I would take the real world.

00:35:43.180 But this pushes us even more towards something that we have got to grab a hold of,

00:35:48.960 or we're going to lose our very sense of our own humanity, which is we are incarnate creatures.

00:35:55.800 We should prefer the real world to virtual reality.

00:35:58.940 The more and more that we live in virtual reality, the more we're going to lose sense of our identity.

00:36:03.360 We're going to lose sense of our sexual identity.

00:36:05.540 We're going to be more inclined to believe that a man can secretly be a woman because the body won't matter as much. 0.75

00:36:14.460 We're going to be less connected to our political communities because it's just the people around us aren't really going to matter.

00:36:22.980 We can be talking to someone on the other side of the world, or we could be talking to a totally invented person, a fake character,

00:36:28.780 whether through AI or just the creation of some hacker.

00:36:31.400 We're going to be disconnected from our political community.

00:36:33.640 We're going to be disconnected from reality because we're going to spend our time plugged into the matrix,

00:36:37.600 you know, imagining that we can fly around.

00:36:39.460 Meanwhile, what?

00:36:40.180 Meanwhile, we're just going to be living like we're in that movie, like we're in a virtual reality.

00:36:47.260 Yeah, sure, it's bad if some really malicious hacker comes in and controls your environment and manipulates you.

00:36:53.500 But that's all the virtual reality has been from the beginning.

00:36:57.080 Just replace the particularly malicious hacker with Mark Zuckerberg, and that's pretty much the thing.

00:37:02.000 That's not a bug of the system.

00:37:04.160 That is the system's feature.

00:38:25.240 My favorite comment yesterday is from BobLolma67, who says,

00:38:30.040 Whoopi is turning into the antidote to Oprah's,

00:38:34.280 you get a house, you get a house, you get a house.

00:38:36.440 Hers is, you go to jail, you go to jail, you go to jail.

00:38:39.860 Exactly.

00:38:40.500 And I actually didn't pick the comment for this reason,

00:38:42.260 but it ties in exactly with what we're talking about today.

00:38:44.680 The Democrats can't offer even the handouts anymore.

00:38:49.780 They can't even offer the freebie programs.

00:38:52.760 They've got to do the opposite.

00:38:54.560 They've just got to stoke resentment.

00:38:56.680 Because they don't really have anything to offer,

00:38:58.840 nothing that the voters are all that interested in.

00:39:00.780 So their only option is to go in the other direction.

00:39:03.040 Just say, all right, well, here comes the stick, baby.

00:39:05.860 Forget about the carrot.

00:39:06.800 Here comes the stick.

00:39:07.580 Speaking of weird stuff on the internet,

00:39:13.200 before I even get to the headline,

00:39:18.200 what percentage of Gen Z girls would you say identify as LGBT, L-M-N-O-P? 1.00

00:39:27.280 Historically, for my lifetime,

00:39:29.540 which doesn't involve all that much history,

00:39:31.480 but we're talking about, what, 30 years now,

00:39:33.000 the rate of people who identified as a little light in the loafers.

00:39:38.120 You know, a little bit sweet.

00:39:40.160 You know what I'm talking about?

00:39:41.040 A little bit of sugar in the tank there.

00:39:42.600 Do you catch my drift?

00:39:43.460 I'm talking about homosexuals. 1.00

00:39:45.420 The percentage of people was like 2% or something,

00:39:48.140 2% to 3%, and that had been pretty consistent.

00:39:51.260 And then as it became popular on the political left,

00:39:54.680 the numbers increased.

00:39:55.540 30% of Zoomer girls identify as LGBT,

00:40:04.160 according to a new Gallup survey.

00:40:08.980 Another way of putting that, I guess,

00:40:10.720 is a large number of young women really want attention 1.00

00:40:16.480 and to feel special.

00:40:18.520 That's shocking, breaking.

00:40:21.280 Young women want attention and think they're really quirky. 1.00

00:40:24.920 Wow.

00:40:25.820 Man, stop the presses.

00:40:27.340 I've never heard that before.

00:40:28.900 It's kind of silly, though,

00:40:29.660 because women will desire attention 1.00

00:40:32.840 in all sorts of different ways

00:40:34.700 as society changes and cultural norms change.

00:40:38.740 Today, the cultural norms are such

00:40:40.520 that there's a lot of currency

00:40:41.680 if you can claim some kind of sexual deviancy.

00:40:44.860 And so the women do that. 1.00

00:40:47.300 Another reason for this, I suspect,

00:40:48.820 is that for a lot of these women, 1.00

00:40:51.720 because we have this particularly strange

00:40:54.820 strange identity politics system,

00:40:57.200 according to which white women 1.00

00:40:58.520 are among the worst people on earth,

00:41:00.160 they need something to give them a struggle.

00:41:02.740 You know, if you're an affluent white liberal female, 1.00

00:41:07.600 there's a joke.

00:41:09.040 I think it was Michael Malice came up with it.

00:41:10.500 The affluent white female liberals are called awfuls. 1.00

00:41:15.180 You know, they're just awful.

00:41:16.120 Tucker Carlson said that liberal white women 1.00

00:41:18.280 are his least favorite group in the world.

00:41:19.800 There's a slur to refer to these women as Karens. 0.98

00:41:23.120 And so the young white women, 0.54

00:41:25.020 they don't want to become Karens.

00:41:26.160 They need a struggle.

00:41:27.440 But they don't have any actual struggle.

00:41:29.180 So they say, OK, well, I'm half a lesbian or something.

00:41:32.020 Not even full lesbians. 0.99

00:41:33.860 They'll say, I'm non-binary.

00:41:35.440 I'm not.

00:41:35.840 I'm anything.

00:41:36.360 I talked to a gal.

00:41:37.540 Obviously, I'm not coming from the studio right now.

00:41:39.260 If you're watching, you'll say,

00:41:40.020 I'm in a hotel room somewhere.

00:41:41.260 I'm in Wisconsin.

00:41:43.320 I gave a speech last night at UW-Madison.

00:41:45.720 It's up online.

00:41:47.280 Had some really feisty questions.

00:41:49.160 You can check that out on X or on YouTube.

00:41:51.740 And then I sat down afterward with a guy who thinks he's a woman

00:41:54.840 and with a girl who thinks that she's multiple people.

00:41:57.860 She said, I'm non-binary.

00:41:59.220 I go by they and them.

00:42:00.860 And I said, oh, really?

00:42:01.820 When did this set in?

00:42:03.140 And without spoiling the interview too much,

00:42:05.240 she said, oh, you know, right around puberty,

00:42:07.100 when I felt a little awkward, you know,

00:42:09.540 when I was becoming a teenager.

00:42:11.020 I said, oh, like every woman ever.

00:42:13.060 Oh, okay, wow, you're just like every woman ever. 1.00

00:42:15.640 But your reaction to that was to, like many women,

00:42:19.760 just kind of go along with whatever the ideological fad is.

00:42:22.400 And in this case, it would be LGBT-ism. 0.92

00:42:25.700 According to this survey,

00:42:28.540 the percentage of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender,

00:42:32.580 and queer adults in the U.S.

00:42:33.700 has reached an all-time high of 7.6% in 2023.

00:42:38.280 And almost 30% of Gen Z identifies that way.

00:42:41.700 Most of them is bisexual. 0.63

00:42:43.220 So, again, I think proving my point,

00:42:45.100 they're just like fun girls in college, you know?

00:42:47.260 Hi, 30% of Gen Z girls identify as, like, really wild, you know? 1.00

00:42:51.580 Okay.

00:42:52.580 How do you explain this?

00:42:53.900 Three options.

00:42:56.060 Either Alex Jones is right,

00:42:58.820 and there is something in the water

00:42:59.960 turning the frickin' Zoomer girls gay, 1.00

00:43:02.740 which I guess is true.

00:43:03.840 There's something in the water

00:43:04.520 turning the frogs trans. 0.99

00:43:05.820 Alex Jones was actually right about that.

00:43:07.080 So, maybe, okay.

00:43:08.060 That's one option,

00:43:08.680 that there's something in the water.

00:43:10.540 The second option is

00:43:11.860 that there were always

00:43:13.080 30% of women who were bisexual or whatever,

00:43:16.640 but they were just oppressed

00:43:17.800 by society.

00:43:19.540 You see,

00:43:19.900 7.6% of people

00:43:21.880 were always into weird sex stuff,

00:43:24.180 but you see,

00:43:25.420 for millennia,

00:43:26.640 the repression of the patriarchy

00:43:29.120 kept them down,

00:43:30.320 and now they're finally coming out

00:43:32.100 to explore their true selves.

00:43:33.920 Okay, that's one option.

00:43:35.220 Or,

00:43:37.180 sexual desires and identities

00:43:39.060 are obviously subject to social influence,

00:43:42.780 and that is going to express itself

00:43:45.240 in different ways,

00:43:46.520 and if we just stopped glamorizing

00:43:48.840 this weird sex stuff,

00:43:50.440 it would greatly diminish.

00:43:53.520 That's the one you're not allowed to say,

00:43:55.280 but that's obviously the answer.

00:43:57.100 Is there a fourth option?

00:43:59.900 I don't see a fourth option.

00:44:01.700 So, unless you think that,

00:44:02.980 you know,

00:44:03.240 the pharmaceutical companies

00:44:04.540 are poisoning the water

00:44:05.420 and making us all gay, 0.88

00:44:07.580 if you think that's the primary driver of this,

00:44:10.220 or you think that just all of a sudden,

00:44:12.320 it took, you know,

00:44:13.160 millennia of human history,

00:44:14.240 but all of a sudden,

00:44:14.940 we've just discovered

00:44:15.600 that 30% of women are bisexual

00:44:18.500 or they-thems,

00:44:19.900 and there's no such thing

00:44:20.680 as men or women or whatever,

00:44:21.860 or sexual desire and identity

00:44:24.700 is obviously subject to social influence,

00:44:26.240 and the LGBT identity,

00:44:28.880 though it might have some basis

00:44:30.440 in a persistent identity

00:44:32.760 across human life

00:44:34.460 for all of history,

00:44:35.720 actually is more of a social contagion,

00:44:39.500 and that's it.

00:44:40.700 And if you grow up

00:44:41.540 in the middle of rural Tennessee,

00:44:43.540 you're much less likely

00:44:44.700 to identify as a they-them 1.00

00:44:46.560 than if you go to some,

00:44:48.320 you know,

00:44:48.780 ritzy liberal private school

00:44:51.020 in the Bay Area,

00:44:52.660 which do you think it is?

00:44:54.520 Speaking of this particular issue,

00:44:58.000 the young people

00:44:58.660 who are increasingly identifying

00:44:59.860 with these sexual identities

00:45:02.140 that are not conducive

00:45:03.060 to their flourishing

00:45:03.700 because they're divorced from reality,

00:45:05.600 the really sad story

00:45:06.420 is a gal who identified

00:45:07.860 as like a they-them type identity,

00:45:11.620 Nex Benedict,

00:45:12.680 I don't know what her real name is,

00:45:14.300 and she died.

00:45:16.700 And how did she die?

00:45:17.580 Initially,

00:45:18.040 the way this was reported

00:45:18.940 some weeks ago

00:45:19.900 is that this was a transgender

00:45:22.520 or non-binary teenager

00:45:24.280 who was beaten to death

00:45:25.620 because of the bullying

00:45:27.140 instigated by all of the transphobes.

00:45:30.460 So I think this was insinuating

00:45:31.660 that I, Matt,

00:45:34.920 you know,

00:45:35.320 other people who have spoken

00:45:36.520 on this issue

00:45:37.120 had something to do with it.

00:45:38.300 But the real ire

00:45:39.340 was pointed at

00:45:40.720 Libs of TikTok,

00:45:42.540 Kaya Rejcik. 0.75

00:45:44.000 Now,

00:45:44.320 it was where the headlines

00:45:45.480 really came from.

00:45:46.360 Libs of TikTok

00:45:47.020 by pointing out

00:45:48.640 that men can't really be women 0.97

00:45:49.700 and highlighting

00:45:50.620 all of the craziest

00:45:52.780 examples of the trans ideology,

00:45:55.940 but just in the Libs' own words.

00:45:57.300 It's not like she was

00:45:57.820 putting words in their mouths.

00:45:58.660 She just retweets them, basically.

00:46:00.900 By doing this,

00:46:01.780 she was responsible

00:46:02.520 for the bullying

00:46:03.240 that led this girl

00:46:03.960 to be beaten to death.

00:46:05.180 Well,

00:46:05.680 the actual story's out now.

00:46:07.320 The autopsy's out,

00:46:08.120 and the girl

00:46:09.220 was not beaten to death.

00:46:11.060 She died of a drug overdose.

00:46:12.280 And it's very sad,

00:46:12.980 and this happens a lot

00:46:14.680 with people who engage

00:46:16.820 in these identities

00:46:18.100 leads to anxiety

00:46:20.080 and depression,

00:46:20.640 suicidality.

00:46:21.800 The Libs tell us

00:46:22.600 the reason for that

00:46:23.160 is society won't accept them,

00:46:24.520 but that doesn't seem

00:46:26.020 to be borne out

00:46:26.560 by the data.

00:46:27.240 Actually,

00:46:27.600 it seems that the

00:46:28.300 gender-affirming treatment

00:46:29.980 only makes the situation,

00:46:31.260 either doesn't make

00:46:32.040 the situation better

00:46:32.640 or, in some cases,

00:46:33.660 makes the situation worse.

00:46:34.620 There's that data set

00:46:35.340 out of the UK

00:46:35.860 that shows that.

00:46:37.180 The reason is reality.

00:46:39.060 You know,

00:46:39.200 I had an exchange

00:46:40.060 with a fellow

00:46:40.840 wearing a dress

00:46:41.660 last night

00:46:42.760 at UW-Madison,

00:46:43.920 and I said,

00:46:45.880 look, pal,

00:46:46.880 you know,

00:46:47.200 you might hate me

00:46:48.220 and think I'm your enemy,

00:46:49.120 but I'm telling you the truth,

00:46:50.300 and I think it's disrespectful

00:46:51.740 to lie to you,

00:46:52.740 and it's not going to help you,

00:46:53.780 and it's,

00:46:54.840 common sense tells us that,

00:46:56.000 logic tells us that,

00:46:56.820 and the statistics

00:46:57.760 tell us that.

00:46:59.360 And so that's what we have here.

00:47:00.920 There's a political lesson

00:47:01.900 that comes out of this, too,

00:47:03.260 which we don't have time for.

00:47:05.280 You know I'm a tease

00:47:05.780 on this show.

00:47:06.240 We'll get to the political lesson

00:47:07.300 tomorrow that actually has nothing

00:47:08.420 to do with the sexual revolution,

00:47:09.940 but it's an important lesson

00:47:11.040 to learn.

00:47:11.560 So wait on the edge of your seat

00:47:13.760 with bated breath.

00:47:15.260 No member block today

00:47:16.040 because I'm on the road

00:47:16.620 flying back.

00:47:17.200 I'll see you tomorrow.

00:47:18.260 In the meantime,
