The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1451 - AOC Doesn't Know What A Crime Is In Unhinged Rant

00:00:00.000 During contentious testimony before the House Oversight Committee,

00:00:03.660 Hunter Biden's former business partner, Tony Bobulinski,

00:00:07.340 was grilled by AOC on the specific crime

00:00:10.900 that he alleges President Joe Biden committed.

00:00:14.320 And Ms. Ocasio-Cortez did not like his response.

00:00:18.040 Did you watch him steal something?

00:00:19.940 Corruption statutes, RICO and conspiracy.

00:00:22.820 What is it? What is the crime, sir?

00:00:27.000 Specifically.

00:00:27.680 You asked me to answer the question.

00:00:30.880 I answered the question.

00:00:32.140 RICO, you're obviously not familiar with.

00:00:34.220 Corruption statutes.

00:00:34.760 Excuse me, sir.

00:00:35.660 Excuse me, sir.

00:00:37.060 Excuse me, sir.

00:00:38.460 RICO is not a crime.

00:00:40.560 It is a category.

00:00:42.460 What is the crime?

00:00:43.300 It's a category of crimes that you're then charged over.

00:00:46.100 You have charges.

00:00:46.980 A long hundred.

00:00:47.920 You have charges.

00:00:49.800 Sir, please name.

00:00:50.600 You want me to name the exact statute under RICO?

00:00:52.900 Yes.

00:00:53.420 Well, it's funny.

00:00:54.260 In this committee room, everyone's not here.

00:00:56.360 All right, sir, I reclaim my time.

00:00:58.220 Lawyers.

00:01:00.020 Just for a little fact check, RICO is very much a crime.

00:01:03.880 It is.

00:01:04.780 It's a group of crimes, and they are the crimes that took down the mob.

00:01:09.160 Ironically, RICO is the crime that the Democrats are alleging Trump committed.

00:01:14.020 The whole Georgia prosecution of Donald Trump is predicated upon the belief that RICO is a crime.

00:01:21.640 Corruption, conspiracy, failure to register as a foreign agent, those are also all crimes for the record.

00:01:29.400 The whole exchange reminded me of another classic legal exchange.

00:01:34.220 I know a lot about the law and various other lawyerings.

00:01:38.720 I'm well-educated, well-versed.

00:01:40.640 I know that situations like this, real estate-wise, they're very complex.

00:01:44.580 Actually, they're pretty simple.

00:01:46.980 The forms are all standard boilerplate.

00:01:49.540 Okay.

00:01:50.060 Well, we're all hungry.

00:01:50.960 We're going to get to our hot plate soon enough.

00:01:52.360 I forgot.

00:01:52.940 Where did you go to law school again?

00:01:54.800 Well, I could ask you that very same question.

00:01:56.220 I went to Harvard.

00:01:57.340 Uh-huh.

00:01:57.800 How about you?

00:01:59.220 Where?

00:02:00.080 Yeah.

00:02:00.500 I'm pleading the fifth, sir.

00:02:01.900 I'd advise that you do that.

00:02:03.040 And I'll take that advice into cooperation, all right?

00:02:05.920 Now, let's say you and I go toe-to-toe on bird law and see who comes out the victim.

00:02:09.340 You know, I don't think I'm going to do anything close to that.

00:02:12.960 The always sunny clip is funny, you see, because Charlie is a janitor who doesn't actually know

00:02:19.380 anything about the law.

00:02:20.740 The congressional clip is less funny because AOC is a legislator who somehow appears to know

00:02:28.680 even less about the law.

00:02:30.600 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:02:31.300 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:02:33.040 Welcome back to the show.

00:02:51.620 Italian Prime Minister Georgia Maloney is suing a guy for making fake porn of her.

00:02:56.960 She's suing him for 100,000 euro.

00:02:58.420 We will get to that and what it means for the political order in just a moment.

00:03:02.380 First, though, you got to get your Smells and Bells candle over here at The Daily Wire.

00:03:06.780 Dailywire.com slash shop.

00:03:09.080 The Daily Wire obviously is going to stop selling these after Easter.

00:03:11.480 This is a Lenten-themed candle that will make your home smell like a 12th century monastery.

00:03:16.880 I love it.

00:03:17.420 I think it's our best-selling candle ever by a long shot.

00:03:19.840 Even better selling than the very famous—whoo, look at that, just explodes—even more famous

00:03:29.240 than the pumpkin spice candle, which you can get today.

00:03:32.300 We've got a nice wood wick, some nice little beautiful smells.

00:03:35.220 So we've sold a bazillion of them.

00:03:36.320 We still have some left to sell.

00:03:37.980 Head on over to dailywire.com slash shop before they are gone.

00:03:43.180 Speaking of strange legal developments, an appeals court has just stopped a Texas immigration law

00:03:53.260 from going into effect because the Supreme Court allowed the Texas immigration law to go into effect

00:04:01.720 because a lower court had stopped the immigration law from going into effect.

00:04:07.100 So where are we?

00:04:08.120 We're at this very strange place where the appeals court can overrule the Supreme Court.

00:04:14.040 How does that work?

00:04:14.960 I know a little bit more about the law than either AOC or Charlie Kelly, but not all that much more.

00:04:23.260 See if you can follow this.

00:04:25.360 The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals blocked the Texas immigration law,

00:04:29.840 saying that Texas can enforce its own borders.

00:04:32.280 The Supreme Court lifted a hold blocking that law,

00:04:37.200 arguing that it needed to be ruled on by the lower Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals first.

00:04:42.800 Then, almost immediately afterward, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals again blocked the measure,

00:04:48.160 which is called Senate Bill 4, from being put into effect, but without any explanation.

00:04:52.240 So they didn't exactly rule on it, or they didn't provide any rationale for it.

00:04:55.600 They just said we're going to block it, and then the court will hear further arguments on Wednesday.

00:04:59.420 Do you know what all of this is about, even if you don't know anything about the law?

00:05:03.740 The upshot of all of this is we never get to object to mass migration.

00:05:09.000 That's it, period.

00:05:12.760 We don't, there will always be something preventing us from in any way restricting mass migration.

00:05:20.200 We can elect Democrats, we can elect Republicans, we can pass laws, we can get court rulings.

00:05:26.800 It doesn't matter.

00:05:28.180 The mass migration will continue, period.

00:05:30.620 This is true in America. 0.93

00:05:31.400 This is true in most of Europe.

00:05:34.940 There is, as far as I can tell, pretty much one country in Europe that has stopped mass migration, that is Hungary.

00:05:41.280 And the liberal establishment in the West has done everything it can to make the leader of Hungary, who did that, Viktor Orban, a pariah,

00:05:49.300 to totally ostracize him from the leadership of the West.

00:05:55.220 They haven't been successful.

00:05:56.220 He's too strong, and Hungary is just too solid a country to put up with it. 1.00

00:06:00.520 But otherwise, you don't get to object to mass migration, period.

00:06:04.660 Why is that?

00:06:05.440 Because the political order, the liberal order right now, depends upon mass migration.

00:06:11.820 And that's that.

00:06:13.820 We have dying populations and declining populations, even well below the point of replacement, other than in Hungary, which has started to turn the population around.

00:06:24.760 Still a dying population, though.

00:06:26.740 So if the economies aren't going to falter, you need to just import mass labor.

00:06:32.380 And the liberals like the mass migration because it gives them an electoral advantage.

00:06:38.020 The businesses like mass migration.

00:06:39.860 It gives them a major labor pool to exploit.

00:06:42.220 It's just beneficial to so many powers that if the pesky little people want to stop it, that's just not good enough.

00:06:51.820 That's it.

00:06:52.880 That's how you explain it.

00:06:53.940 If you want that to change, as I certainly would like that to change, as most people throughout the West want that to change.

00:06:58.700 It's the number one campaign issue, according to many surveys, and it has been for a number of years.

00:07:03.000 If you want that to change, you've got to get a little bit more creative and start putting pressure on the different interest groups that are pushing for mass migration.

00:07:12.300 Speaking of illegal aliens, an illegal alien on the terror watch list was just arrested after shooting up a business and attacking cops.

00:07:22.520 So this is an illegal alien, not from Honduras, not from Guatemala, not from Nicaragua.

00:07:27.280 From the Middle East was arrested last week in North Carolina after opening fire at a business and then attacking cops who were trying to arrest him.

00:07:36.800 So when the cops finally arrest him, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement reaches out ICE.

00:07:43.800 They tell the Gates County Sheriff's Office that actually this guy that they just arrested who shot up the business, he's on the terrorist screening data set.

00:07:52.480 That's commonly known as the terror watch list, which raises a question.

00:07:56.540 What is the point of the terror watch list?

00:08:01.160 What's the point?

00:08:02.700 We have a terror watch list that's to watch out for these guys.

00:08:06.460 Then they sneak into the country.

00:08:08.300 They've been in the country for a while.

00:08:09.760 They shoot up a business.

00:08:11.140 They harm people.

00:08:12.180 They attack cops.

00:08:12.900 And then we say, hey, that guy, by the way, we knew he was a terrorist.

00:08:16.240 Oh, well, why didn't you do something to stop him?

00:08:19.520 And there is an answer to that.

00:08:21.100 I'm not leaving the question dangling.

00:08:22.880 The reason for that is that we have a totally open border and people come into our country all the time totally unvetted. 0.96

00:08:30.340 By design, Joe Biden insists on that.

00:08:32.620 He wants to vastly increase the number of foreign nationals from all over the place, from Latin America, from the Middle East, from Africa, from Asia, to just come in unvetted. 1.00

00:08:41.560 So given that, what is the point of the terror watch list?

00:08:44.900 If we can't actually know anything about these people, if we can't track their movements, if we're not even allowed to arrest people when they break some of the most fundamental laws of the country,

00:08:52.300 what's the, get rid of it.

00:08:53.440 There's just no reason to have it.

00:08:55.320 What, so that, so that after every major crime, we can hear, oh, actually, so-and-so was known to law enforcement.

00:09:00.880 Oh, they were known, how about law enforcement does something about it?

00:09:03.640 Oh, well, the political powers won't let law enforcement do anything about it. 1.00

00:09:06.460 Okay, so, so what?

00:09:10.920 So what?

00:09:11.500 So we can't do anything.

00:09:12.400 We can't, at a deeper level, even beyond the immigration question, we are not allowed to pass our own laws on, on, when it comes to the issues that really matter to the Democrats.

00:09:24.580 We're not allowed to pass our own laws if those laws contradict them.

00:09:27.820 We're not allowed to have our court rulings.

00:09:31.160 Some limited cases, maybe, but no, if it, if it starts to threaten things like immigration, no, you can't.

00:09:37.500 Yeah, the Supreme Court ruled too bad.

00:09:38.700 We're going to, yeah, we're going to overrule that.

00:09:41.060 We're not allowed to have our own law enforcement officers and mechanisms.

00:09:47.120 Guys on the list, get them out of the country.

00:09:48.940 No, you're not allowed to get those guys out of the country.

00:09:51.280 Maybe once they shoot up a neighborhood or a shop, then the law enforcement can say, oh, yeah, we could have told you so.

00:09:57.960 Yeah, you could have, but you didn't.

00:09:59.140 We are, we often hear in Washington, D.C. that the gears of government are grinding to a halt.

00:10:08.880 You know, there's too much friction, nothing gets done. 0.94

00:10:11.900 On the one hand, I'm perfectly happy if the members of Congress aren't able to pass that many laws because a lot of what they do is really dumb and contrary to the flourishing of the country.

00:10:22.840 But just the basic mechanics of having a society run, those are also grinding to a halt. 0.94

00:10:31.140 It's not just the new legal innovations of these members of Congress who are passing a bunch of dumb laws.

00:10:36.460 I'm talking like the really basic stuff, like you arrest the criminals, you have a border, that stuff.

00:10:41.160 That is also grinding to a halt.

00:10:43.180 How long can a country continue to operate?

00:10:46.620 Certainly a global hegemon, continue to operate, if that is the case.

00:10:52.120 Is your home's title still in your name?

00:11:22.880 Speaking of not knowing things, not knowing who's here, how we get here, how we run the government, speaking of not knowing things, there's a new study out which shows that something we thought we knew about science is not true.

00:11:38.720 Maybe not true.

00:11:40.280 Apparently, there's no dark matter, according to this study.

00:11:43.840 You ever hear of dark matter?

00:11:44.940 You might have learned about this in science class or read about it in pop science articles.

00:11:49.000 We got matter, you know, regular matter that we kind of hand, like my microphone or my leftist-tears tumbler.

00:11:53.540 But then we're told much of the universe is made up of something called dark matter.

00:11:58.220 And what is dark matter?

00:11:59.160 Well, we never really knew what it is.

00:12:00.500 But now, according to this new study that just came out of the University of Ottawa, there's no such thing as dark matter.

00:12:05.920 We don't really know anything.

00:12:09.960 Shocking study upends decades of consensus about the universe's composition.

00:12:16.120 Dark matter is a term used in cosmology to describe a type of matter that does not interact with light or the electromagnetic field, hence that it is dark.

00:12:26.120 Scientists long believed that dark matter makes up something like 25% of the universe with ordinary matter constituting less than 5%.

00:12:35.260 So most of the matter is supposedly dark matter.

00:12:37.440 And then the rest is dark energy, whatever that is.

00:12:39.900 And this is supposed to explain how galaxies and stars and planets work.

00:12:44.840 But then we find out that that's probably not real.

00:12:49.380 So why do I mention this?

00:12:51.440 Do I believe this study more than I believe the other studies?

00:12:54.140 No, not really.

00:12:55.360 I'm kind of skeptical of all scientific studies.

00:12:58.640 But that's not why.

00:13:00.480 Maybe it's true that there's no such thing as dark matter.

00:13:02.640 Maybe there is dark matter.

00:13:03.660 Maybe it's 25% of the universe.

00:13:05.240 Maybe it's 30%.

00:13:06.740 I don't know what percentage it is.

00:13:08.180 I mention the story to point out that we don't really know much of anything about science.

00:13:17.060 The common view, the common sense view in liberal modernity is that we know a lot about science, but we don't know a lot about philosophy and theology.

00:13:28.200 Meaning we know a lot about physics stuff, but we don't really know anything about metaphysics.

00:13:34.160 You know, ethics and God and the soul and morality.

00:13:40.380 With that, we don't know anything about that.

00:13:42.940 We can't really know anything.

00:13:44.860 A lot of that's up to just kind of your subjective point of view, man.

00:13:49.660 And you do you.

00:13:50.980 And we can never know anything about right.

00:13:52.960 You hear that a lot.

00:13:54.080 But they say, but science is firm, it's verifiable, it's replicable.

00:14:00.780 In this house, we believe in science.

00:14:03.360 That's what all the liberal lawn signs say.

00:14:06.020 The funny thing is, though, the irony is, it's exactly the opposite.

00:14:10.380 Totally reversed.

00:14:12.020 We know basically nothing about science.

00:14:15.020 That is, the physical world, like stuff.

00:14:20.300 We know basically nothing about that and how the universe works.

00:14:24.080 And we do know a considerable amount about metaphysics, about morality, about the soul, about the relation of the creation to its creator.

00:14:39.320 We actually can know more about that.

00:14:41.160 Why?

00:14:41.480 Not just because a very wonderful old book, the Bible, tells us about it.

00:14:47.460 That's sometimes what the science people accuse you.

00:14:49.340 They say, you're just Bible-thumping.

00:14:50.660 No, I'm not.

00:14:51.780 The reason that we know more about metaphysics than we know about physics is because physics requires really powerful microscopes and really powerful telescopes.

00:15:02.460 And the measurements of all sorts of things that we can really have no access to at all.

00:15:09.120 Whereas metaphysics is actually a little closer to us.

00:15:15.260 We can deduce conclusions about the metaphysical world using things like logic, using things like our reason, using things like our moral conscience.

00:15:29.020 And then revelation helps that as well.

00:15:32.120 And there's also strong evidence for revelation.

00:15:35.000 For some reason, the last couple of weeks, we've talked a lot about the natural law on this show and in American politics.

00:15:44.340 The natural law is a lot closer to us than planet Zebulon 7 that we're supposed to learn about with a big telescope.

00:15:52.580 We can know about it just using our own two eyes and the two brain cells that we hope we have in our head.

00:15:59.000 Maybe some of us have a few more than them.

00:16:01.700 We can be more certain of those things.

00:16:03.440 In fact, you can never really be certain of the conclusions you reach through empirical experiments because you're beginning with stuff and observations and then you're extrapolating from those observations about the physical world to come to general principles.

00:16:21.220 When we're talking about metaphysics, when we're talking about certain aspects of philosophy and theology, you actually can be certain because you're using logic.

00:16:33.800 You don't have to replicate experiments under a microscope.

00:16:38.180 It's much more given to universal conclusions.

00:16:42.000 We get totally confused about that though.

00:16:44.000 And it's why, as our civilization on the one hand seems to be so much more advanced, we have these magical little black screen portals to hell in our pocket where I can call someone on the other side of the world.

00:16:55.760 We've got fast cars.

00:16:57.840 We've got airplanes.

00:16:59.160 We've got all – it seems like we're really progressing.

00:17:01.740 And yet then on the flip side, we no longer know what a man and what a woman is.

00:17:07.240 On the flip side of that, we can no longer make an argument as to why it's wrong to commit murder.

00:17:12.840 We no longer know the purpose of government.

00:17:14.540 We no longer know what a legislature is or a judiciary system.

00:17:19.260 How is that possible?

00:17:22.840 It's because of this lie that we've told ourselves in modernity.

00:17:26.640 We know so much about science.

00:17:28.120 Yeah, well, the science changes every single day. 0.99

00:17:29.800 The one thing I know about science for certain is that whatever we think about science today will be considered extremely stupid about 50 years from now. 0.90

00:17:39.800 If we're lucky, probably 10 years from now.

00:17:41.800 And yet the enduring truths that we know about philosophy and theology, those have been pretty stable, actually.

00:17:51.640 Those haven't – anthropology, the human nature, those things haven't really changed.

00:17:55.900 Those eternal principles are pretty reliable.

00:17:59.020 Now, speaking of science experiments and human nature, there's a really gross and disturbing story out, which is perhaps worth checking out.

00:18:06.700 Nearly 171,000 American women used sperm from a sperm bank to get pregnant in 1995. 0.98

00:18:18.360 That number is higher than I would have expected.

00:18:20.560 But then fast forward 21 years.

00:18:24.600 By 2016, the number had risen to more than 440,000.

00:18:29.960 More U.S. women are waiting longer to get married. 1.00

00:18:32.680 They're waiting longer to have a child.

00:18:34.420 They're not getting married, but they still want to have a child.

00:18:37.140 So then they go to the sperm store, and they buy half a child from some creepy guy who made a few hundred dollars anonymously.

00:18:46.980 And then they create a baby with the express purpose of denying that baby his father.

00:18:51.400 There's a woman who just wrote a pretty good essay about this.

00:18:54.920 It's worth reading because it gives you a really honest glimpse into a really perverse phenomenon.

00:19:02.860 But this was her ad.

00:19:04.140 This was the ad she put out because she first looked up the sperm stores, and she said, it seems too clinical.

00:19:13.820 You know, I don't want to just have one paragraph about the father of my child.

00:19:17.480 I don't want to just hear a little audio clip of him.

00:19:19.320 I want to really – I want to know him a little bit.

00:19:21.260 I want to at least meet him once.

00:19:22.300 So she puts this ad out.

00:19:25.140 She Googles sperm donor that you know, finds a website, and she says,

00:19:29.740 seeking a donor in or near the Washington, D.C. metro area.

00:19:33.160 Artificial insemination only.

00:19:34.740 That probably weeds out a fair number of particular creeps on those websites.

00:19:38.840 We'll consider working with folks willing to travel.

00:19:41.160 Here's the rub.

00:19:41.760 I'm looking for someone who's willing to be in the kid's life from birth.

00:19:44.580 Not every day or even every week or month.

00:19:47.000 Not a co-parent, once known as a father.

00:19:49.480 But someone who can answer questions for the kid and provide a healthy explanation about why you chose to help their mom bring them into the world.

00:19:57.940 I'd love to make a new lifelong friend who shares my values and wants to stay in touch, get updates on the kiddo, and attend the occasional birthday party.

00:20:06.320 We used to call that a husband, by the way.

00:20:07.900 Now we call it a lifelong friend.

00:20:09.580 I'm hoping to find someone reliable and kind.

00:20:11.620 So, why?

00:20:14.120 Why is she going this kind of bizarre fakakta route when she could just, like, find a guy? 0.99

00:20:19.220 It says, always wanted to be a mom.

00:20:20.880 I've just found success in my career as a journalist that has never matched in my personal life.

00:20:25.680 It is my dream to become a parent.

00:20:27.800 Please help me make that happen.

00:20:29.640 This is all really, really sad, really, really disordered and harmful and really, really predictable.

00:20:39.160 There's so much more to say.

00:20:40.540 First, though, go to policygenius.com slash Knowles.

00:22:04.200 Modernity is just a giant Rube Goldberg machine.

00:22:09.180 Talking about the idolatry of science, you know the Rube Goldberg machines where there are 700 crazy steps

00:22:15.320 to accomplish a really simple task that you could have done in one or two steps?

00:22:18.700 That's modernity for you. 0.96

00:22:21.080 In the old days, when we were all just stupid and illiterate, you know, we weren't science-y, and we didn't even have iPods and stuff. 0.89

00:22:29.100 Back in those days, a man and a woman would just find each other, and they would get married, and they would do this thing, and they'd have kids, and they'd have a family, and they'd have a good life. 0.97

00:22:36.580 Today, though, we're really smart and fancy and sophisticated, so desperate, miserable women need to wait until their late 30s to put an advertisement out 1.00

00:22:48.520 begging a man to commit a mortal sin into a cup or something, and then purchase that so that they can produce a child that might know his father or probably won't know his father

00:23:02.480 so that the mother can fulfill her desire to have a child as a sort of appendage or a handbag, kind of like a little poodle. 1.00

00:23:10.460 Everything about this, so terribly perverse.

00:23:15.580 I wondered, if I were a woman, if I were in this woman's shoes, because I think she makes a really honest point here when she says,

00:23:24.220 look, I've been really successful in my career, but now I woke up one day and I realized I don't have the things that really matter.

00:23:31.360 I think that's true for a lot of women, and I think in part that's because they've been lied to from the moment they were born, 0.98

00:23:37.020 and in this age that is so influenced by feminism, they're told, you don't need a man, a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle. 1.00

00:23:44.160 You need to be strong and independent.

00:23:46.200 You don't relate to sex any differently than men do.

00:23:48.940 You need to go out and hook up with a lot of people, and you need to go to college and get a degree so you can get a job in the widget factory,

00:23:55.280 but more likely, if you're a lady, you'll probably be in marketing or PR or journalism or something. 1.00

00:24:00.200 This woman's a journalist. 0.88

00:24:01.140 Then you've got to go to the city and live on your own or with a roommate, and you need to hook up with a lot of people

00:24:07.780 and go to brunch every Sunday and just work, work, work, work, work, and don't do anything that will be edifying

00:24:13.300 and grow your family or your personal life, and then maybe freeze your eggs, and then one day you're going to find out

00:24:18.120 that you're getting a little too late to get married, so then you need to purchase some guy's sperm, 0.59

00:24:22.840 and then maybe you can have a kid to fulfill your own desires rather than having a kid as a product of your natural love

00:24:29.180 for your husband with whom you are in a lifelong union that exists for the very purpose of the generation

00:24:35.100 and education of those children, both of you in on that, and for the mutual support of the spouses,

00:24:41.060 the latter part of which you will be deprived if you do this because we live in liberal modernity.

00:24:47.220 They've been lied to, and so they get to that point, and they freak out, and they say,

00:24:51.180 I need a kid. It's getting too late. That biological clock starts ticking, and they have a kid

00:24:56.620 in the wrong way, in a way that is not conducive to the good of the child and not conducive to the

00:25:05.620 good of the woman either because she's going to have to raise a kid on her own, and it's very 1.00

00:25:08.980 difficult. Even the way she writes, she goes, yeah, look, I'm looking for someone willing to be in the

00:25:13.420 kid's life from birth, but not every day or even. I don't want to see you every day. I don't want to see

00:25:18.700 my child's father every day or week or month just like every now and again so that I can make

00:25:25.120 myself feel better about intentionally depriving a kid of his father. You can just write the kid a

00:25:29.000 letter. That's not good enough for the kid. Maybe that's good enough for you, liberal journalist

00:25:34.100 lady. That's not good enough for the kid. A kid needs mommy and daddy, full stop, and it's one thing 1.00

00:25:43.160 to say we live in a fallen world. Maybe daddy runs off. He goes to get a pack of cigarettes.

00:25:46.860 He doesn't come back. It's a fallen world. Maybe a parent dies, and yeah, we get by,

00:25:53.320 and we do the best we can in an imperfect world. But to intentionally deprive a kid of that because

00:25:59.360 you just didn't get your life together to get married, but you still want a kid, and too bad

00:26:03.580 for the little kiddo if he doesn't get his daddy. It's all right. He'll write him a birthday card

00:26:10.060 every so often. Occasionally. That's very wrong and very, very selfish. I was thinking, I started

00:26:18.880 this thought, and then I trailed off. If I were a woman and I were in this woman's, what would I do?

00:26:23.760 I'd probably go to a bar. I mean, ideally what you do is you just get married and you do all the

00:26:28.120 right virtuous things. But if I were in this woman's exact circumstances and I had the same views and

00:26:33.160 behaviors as this woman, I'd probably just like go to a bar and find a guy and go back to my apartment, 1.00

00:26:37.780 and then boom, you get a kid. And who knows? Maybe the two of you get married and maybe you

00:26:42.420 actually have a good life. To quote John Lennon, many children have been born out of a bottle of

00:26:47.900 whiskey. Maybe that's what you do. If you're going to do this already, why not do it the natural way?

00:26:53.340 Why do you get all the doctors involved or the black market sperm donors and the websites? And 0.92

00:26:58.160 why do you make it so freaking clinical? For goodness sakes, you know, Cole Porter sings,

00:27:03.220 let's do it. Let's go on a website and purchase sperm. And then you maybe get the guy to write a 1.00

00:27:12.020 birthday card to his son every few years. No, it's let's do it. Let's fall in love. It's not

00:27:16.540 that complicated. It's not that complicated. Modernity makes it complicated. Liberalism makes

00:27:21.060 it complicated. Hyper individualism that tells you to ignore everyone else and just pursue your

00:27:24.840 own interests. That kind of liberalism on the left and on the right, that kind of liberalism among

00:27:28.980 the hippies and the free lovers and that kind of liberalism among Ayn Rand and the virtue of

00:27:33.540 selfishness. All of that is what makes this so complicated. It doesn't have to be. You know,

00:27:41.340 you kind of know just naturally. We're social creatures. We're coupling creatures. Men like

00:27:45.880 women. Women like men. Sometimes we like each other so much that that love becomes another person.

00:27:51.500 We know it's best for the kid if the parents both raise him together, married forever for life.

00:27:56.100 Just do it. Just do it. We're not so much smarter than every generation that came before us.

00:28:03.160 We don't even know what dark matter is. Okay, we don't. We don't. We're not just if you kind of

00:28:09.600 follow the just prejudices of every generation before us, you're probably going to live a better life

00:28:19.300 than if you try to reinvent everything from scratch. Speaking of weird sex stuff,

00:28:25.320 Georgia Maloney, who's the prime minister of Italy, is suing a guy for creating. 0.96

00:28:59.540 Deep fake porn about her. Georgia Maloney is a lady and nice looking lady. And for nice looking 1.00

00:29:08.400 ladies in the public eye, there is a problem that is rapidly increasing, which is that computer tools 1.00

00:29:15.400 make it easy to make fake porn of the women. This has been true for years, decades perhaps even.

00:29:22.000 With Photoshop, you can kind of make it look like Georgia Maloney is naked. That's one thing. 0.99

00:29:27.080 But now with the rise of artificial intelligence, you can make elaborate, very convincing pictures,

00:29:33.580 elaborate, very convincing videos. This kind of a scandal just hit Taylor Swift. Remember a few

00:29:39.020 weeks ago or maybe a month or two ago when Taylor Swift was, through AI, seen to be doing all these

00:29:48.120 horrific things in a football stadium. It was really, really gross. I didn't watch it, by the way.

00:29:52.100 I hope you didn't watch it either. But she considered taking legal action. And Georgia Maloney

00:29:56.940 is taking legal action. She is suing the guy, the two men who did this for 100,000 euro. This is a

00:30:05.300 defamation lawsuit. But there are other ways to go after them too. One, an unlicensed commercial use of

00:30:14.740 their image. These videos have been viewed millions of times. They were shared on a US porn site and

00:30:20.620 they've been viewed millions of times. That has generated a lot of revenue. This was done by a

00:30:24.720 40-year-old man and his 73-year-old father. Allegedly, they're under investigation now. It's

00:30:31.000 unclear exactly who or if maybe both of them did it. But it's so freaking creepy. And the only way

00:30:38.500 this is going to stop is through lawfare in the short run. And then once you reimpose legal

00:30:46.560 restrictions on this, then perhaps you can beef up the cultural restrictions on it as well.

00:30:53.740 The taboo, the shame that would go along with being caught doing something. So could you imagine

00:30:59.140 you're one of these guys? First of all, it's not even like it's a 16-year-old kid. 16-year-old kid

00:31:04.060 who's not in control of his hormones and his lusts, goofing around on Photoshop. That's one

00:31:10.820 thing, I guess. A 40-year-old man and his 73-year-old father, that is so disgusting. That is 0.99

00:31:16.660 so deeply shameful. And she sues. All of these women should sue because we're in the early stages 1.00

00:31:27.040 of this technology. So we're going to see what kind of legal restrictions we're going to put on

00:31:32.600 them. In the early days of the internet, the conservatives and the liberals came together

00:31:36.860 in America, tried to put restrictions on internet porn, and liberal judges overruled it. And we

00:31:41.420 missed our chance on the Communications Decency Act and the Child Online Protection Act. Had those

00:31:45.540 two laws passed and imposed all sorts of restrictions on porn, a generation of kids who write into this

00:31:51.120 show a lot would have been much, much better off. Now, finally, 20 years later, more than 20 years

00:31:57.940 later, you're beginning to see some of those restrictions put back on with the age verification

00:32:03.400 laws, for instance, that are being passed for porn sites in a lot of different states.

00:32:06.760 This is the next step of that. We're now in what the 90s were to the internet. That is today for

00:32:12.840 artificial intelligence. And it's not going to stop with Georgia Maloney. It's not going to stop with

00:32:16.220 Taylor Swift. The creepiest part is it's going to be the girl in your math class. That is already

00:32:20.240 happening. There are already cases about this. Prosecute it as hard as you can now,

00:32:25.200 under all the existing laws, then pass some new laws. Otherwise, this is going to spin out of

00:32:30.520 control, and no woman in the world is going to be safe from what is a type of digital rape. 1.00

00:32:37.940 Now, speaking of legal maneuvers, and speaking of people taking things that don't belong to them,

00:32:45.640 President Trump is in a pickle because the Attorney General of New York, Letitia James,

00:32:50.560 is demanding almost half a billion dollars from him in some bogus civil fraud judgment.

00:32:55.920 Now, neither Trump nor anyone on earth can come up with half a billion dollars overnight.

00:33:01.720 And just even Elon Musk couldn't really do that, as I mentioned yesterday on the show.

00:33:05.160 So he's not going to be able to scrap together the money. That leaves him with two options. He could

00:33:11.020 either file Chapter 11. He could declare bankruptcy. He's done that before, and he was able to bounce back

00:33:18.400 from that. That might protect his properties, but it carries some risks. If you're running for

00:33:24.260 president, do you really want to declare bankruptcy halfway through your campaign? That's probably kind

00:33:27.920 of a PR loss. Who knows if it would work this time? So then the other option is let the Attorney

00:33:37.420 General let the Liberals take his property. And not only would that strategy serve to make him look like a

00:33:45.880 martyr, serve to make him look like he's being unjustly persecuted, which the vast majority of Americans

00:33:51.440 believe he is, including Democrats. But it would also give him the opportunity to get his properties

00:33:58.120 back. Because if this extremely brazen, partisan, hack attorney general in New York who ran on

00:34:07.040 destroying Trump. If she takes his property, she takes Trump Tower. She takes his property down by

00:34:13.440 Wall Street. If she takes that, Trump's going to appeal it. It could go up to the Supreme Court,

00:34:19.240 and the Supreme Court could say, no, we don't actually get to steal all the possessions of

00:34:24.060 vanquished political leaders. That's something they do in Banana Republics. That's something they did 0.81

00:34:29.160 in ancient Rome. We don't do that here. That's not how we run our system. Trump could then get his

00:34:36.720 property back, no harm, no foul. And maybe he gets elected president in the meantime. The risk to that

00:34:42.220 is that if Trump lets her take the property, she could go out and sell it. All that Trump would be 0.99

00:34:49.120 entitled to on appeal would be the money, half a billion dollars or whatever. But he could lose

00:34:56.540 the property. Now, would the property sell fast enough for that to happen? Probably. That would be

00:35:00.800 the gamble for Trump to take. But if you're looking at the three options here, one, come up with the

00:35:05.140 cash. That's practically impossible, as his lawyers have argued. Two, declare bankruptcy would

00:35:10.640 probably destroy his presidential campaign and might not even work legally. Or three,

00:35:19.620 let them take the property and then very possibly or even likely get that property back

00:35:24.240 on appeal. That looks to be the smart strategy. And it's the most dramatic, and President Trump has

00:35:30.020 a flair for the dramatic. So probably that's the strategy that he'll go with. Ladies and gentlemen,

00:35:34.800 I want you to behold the iconic Leftist Tears Tumblr. It's back, sending shivers down the spines,

00:36:28.380 Tears Tumblr and drink to triggering the Left. Chin-chin. My favorite comment yesterday is from 1.00

00:36:36.540 SlapMyBase3825, who says, now that the bar exam is banned in Washington state, it is safe to assume

00:36:43.440 that any random citizen from a red state is smarter than the average lawyer in Seattle. Well, it depends. 0.58

00:36:49.740 It depends how many lawyers opt not to take the bar exam. The ones who take the bar exam,

00:36:58.720 they're going to be the only reliable lawyers, certainly. So it depends. Is it going to be truly

00:37:03.920 barbarians at the gates, just like it opens up and now the most lawyers in Seattle are 0.96

00:37:10.860 dummies who are totally uneducated, don't know anything about the law? If that's the case, 0.75

00:37:16.960 they shouldn't try to become practicing lawyers in Washington. They should try to become legislators

00:37:20.380 in Washington, D.C. Not the state, but the district. Then they'll be much more successful.

00:37:25.680 You don't need to know a damn thing about the law to become a legislator in D.C. So it could be that

00:37:31.100 case. Or the practical effect might be all the good law firms hire the lawyers who can pass the bar exam.

00:37:37.780 And then you get a bunch of joker lawyers trying to hang a shingle. And that means that the rich people

00:37:44.920 get the good lawyers and the bad people and the, not the bad people, the poor people get the bad 1.00

00:37:48.280 lawyers, which is, I guess, basically what we've, we've always had. It'll just be greatly exacerbated.

00:37:54.380 And in the name of equity, you will have a complete stratification of the kind of legal counsel that

00:38:00.680 people are entitled to. Now, speaking of President Trump, you remember about a week ago,

00:38:10.040 President Trump said that he's going to support car manufacturing in America. And he's going to,

00:38:17.200 if he's elected, prevent China from stealing American car manufacturing. And he's going to

00:38:22.620 place major tariffs on that. And it's going to rebuild American manufacturing. And if he's not

00:38:27.540 elected, it's going to be a bloodbath. The libs then ran with that and said, he's a fascist. He's 0.97

00:38:32.220 going to, he's going to kill us all. He's going to, he's going to genocide all of us. He's Hitler 1.00

00:38:36.740 times a hundred. Obviously, President Trump was, was speaking figuratively there, but I got to give

00:38:43.940 a hat tip over to Breitbart and John Binder over there who points out that if you just look up the

00:38:50.080 Merriam-Webster dictionary definition of bloodbath, not, not the primary definition, but a secondary or

00:38:59.840 tertiary definition is a major economic turmoil. Specifically an economic crisis. So even we could

00:39:10.500 use it colloquially to mean that, but just even according to the popular dictionary, that is what

00:39:17.580 that means. Not that it will matter for the libs because the libs, as you know, love to change the 0.74

00:39:22.860 meaning of words all the time. I would not be surprised if Merriam-Webster dictionary erased

00:39:28.680 that definition of the word. I, I happened to write a book on this called Speechless Controlling

00:39:34.220 Words, Controlling Minds, which is available now. There you go. Thank you. That you could tell the

00:39:37.820 producers knew that that plug was coming. That's what they do because the libs understand that the

00:39:44.880 words that we use are not neutral, neutral media for communicating ideas, but that they're loaded,

00:39:55.680 they're colored, they, they shape the way that you perceive everything. So they have to change the 0.95

00:40:02.300 definitions of these words. They need to control the definitions of these words in order to win

00:40:07.360 political debates before they even actually take place. They, they win them through a sort of

00:40:12.480 inception. They just plant their own victories in your head so that you, you, you end up speechless so

00:40:18.180 that you, you cannot actually, excuse me, excuse me, where's the, do we have a bell there? Okay. I

00:40:23.220 guess the producers fell asleep. There we go. You wind up speechless because you, you are no longer

00:40:28.080 able to, thank you, to even conceive of your own side of the argument. Now, speaking of President

00:40:37.040 Trump's supposed ambitions, the latest non-troversy that came out yesterday, the latest proof that

00:40:42.980 Donald Trump is an autocrat, a dictator in waiting, is that President Trump said he likes the idea

00:40:50.520 of the royal family. I'm a big fan of the concept of the royal family and the royal family.

00:40:59.360 There it is. That was the clip. That was the clip going around all of the internet. Now,

00:41:04.640 context is important here. President Trump is speaking to Nigel Farage on GB News. Stands for

00:41:10.740 Great Britain News. And, and President Trump is very good at relating to people. And so, uh, when,

00:41:18.200 when he's speaking to a Brit, he's going to talk about things that might appeal to a Brit. When he's

00:41:25.280 speaking to Kim Jong-un of North Korea, he might speak about things that appeal to Kim Jong-un of

00:41:29.740 North Korea. Uh, he tailors his conversation in that way as, as all persuasive people do. But,

00:41:35.400 but I, I suspect what President Trump is saying is just true broadly here. He likes the idea of a royal

00:41:40.080 family. I like the idea of a royal family too. I bet most, not all of you, but most of you listening

00:41:45.680 will like the idea of a royal family because most people always and everywhere like the idea of a

00:41:52.900 royal family because that is embedded into politics. Politics is an extension of the family. The basic

00:42:02.700 political unit, as we say very often on the right, the basic political unit is the family. And then you

00:42:10.800 have the extended family. And then you have the tribe, the community. Then you have the tribe. Then you

00:42:17.160 have the state. Then you have the nation. And it kind of builds out from there. But it's, it's all just a

00:42:23.380 broadening out of the family. Patriotism is an extension of filial piety. The, the respect and reverence that

00:42:31.720 you owe to your parents. And in nations that have a royal family, even a nation like Britain, which is

00:42:40.000 sort of a monarchy, but it's obviously also a democracy. And it's just, as, as our nation was

00:42:46.580 initially intended to be, it's going to have a monarchical element in the executive. And then

00:42:50.360 it's going to have a democratic element in the legislature. And it's going to have an aristocratic

00:42:54.900 representation. It's going to have a logical aspect, which is supposed to be the judiciary.

00:42:59.940 It's got all of these things, just as St. Thomas Aquinas writes in the Summa Theologiae.

00:43:04.140 A perfect government is going to, going to touch on all of these desires and longings and needs

00:43:11.180 from within human nature. A royal family is important because it represents, it symbolizes

00:43:17.940 that bedrock aspect of politics. And it's a unifying entity. That this is why the royal family in Great

00:43:27.720 Britain takes great pains and always has not to become party political, not to become partisan.

00:43:33.760 They're supposed to be above that symbol of unity. And, uh, you know, in our hyper democratic

00:43:40.520 egalitarian age, you'll hear people say all sorts of terrible things about the royal family. That's 0.98

00:43:45.960 ridiculous. They wear their tiaras. They live in their palaces. This is awful. It's contrary to the 0.99

00:43:50.700 will of the people, tear them down, eat them, take all their stuff. This is very contrary to the 0.95

00:43:57.680 well-being of the, the actual people in these countries. The monarchy exists for the good of

00:44:05.160 the people. It's not that the people exist for the good of the monarchy. The people get a lot more out

00:44:09.700 of the royal family in Great Britain than the royal family gets out of the people. This is always an

00:44:15.140 argument that crops up, but why is it throughout history that, uh, men are drawn toward this sort

00:44:21.900 of thing, toward a, uh, some nobility toward a monarch even because the people want something

00:44:27.800 that they can all hold in common, that, that unites them, that, that dignifies them, that expresses

00:44:33.120 their own dignity and desire for dignity. When you look in the United Kingdom, would, would anyone

00:44:38.240 really want to trade places with a member of the royal family? Maybe some people would probably not

00:44:42.480 though. You, your, your choices of what you can do are greatly restricted. Your choices of where you

00:44:47.260 can live, how you can behave, how you can dress, what you, everything is greatly restricted and it's

00:44:52.140 all in, it's supposed to be in service of the people. And when the royal families step a little

00:44:57.460 too far out of line, then they get booted out or overthrown and all their stuff is taken away. 0.77

00:45:02.020 And sometimes their heads are chopped off. Frankly, even when they don't step out of line, sometimes

00:45:06.480 that, that sort of thing happens. Trump says, I kind of like that idea of just a unifying

00:45:12.100 figure. Now, before we go in the same interview with Najafaraj, President Trump makes a really

00:45:20.300 great observation about Joe Biden and his behavior. Biden likes going to the beach. You could see that

00:45:26.840 he's always in a bathing suit. It doesn't look good, but he thinks it does. And some advisor does.

00:45:31.140 He could have gone to the beach if he would have left my policies in order, having to do with the

00:45:35.960 economy, having to do with everything. So true. Preach President Trump. Joe Biden likes going to

00:45:43.180 the beach. He thinks he looks good in a bathing suit. He does not. And he could have gone to the

00:45:46.760 beach all he wanted and relaxed and he just kept Trump's policies in order. I mention it because

00:45:53.700 this guy is still funny. This guy has still got it. This guy is still quick on his feet.

00:46:01.420 There is no way the Democrats can let Biden debate him. They'll say he's an insurrectionist. He's a

00:46:09.660 fascist. We're not going to dignify him with a debate. He's a criminal. He deserves 700 years 1.00

00:46:14.500 in prison. He's bankrupt. He's going to say, they're going to say anything they can to get

00:46:18.660 Biden out of the debate because Trump is still pretty fast. He doesn't really seem to have lost a

00:46:26.260 beat. I've said before that he seems to exhibit what the writer Nassim Nicholas Taleb calls anti-fragility.

00:46:36.340 The more you pummel this guy, the tougher he gets, it seems. He's just going to keep pummeling

00:46:45.100 ahead until they take all of his property, until they put him in an orange jumpsuit, until they banish

00:46:49.580 him from St. Helena. This is very much in character with the executive. Getting back to what we were

00:46:57.980 saying about the royal family, we live in a very liberal and egalitarian age that tries to destroy

00:47:03.680 all distinctions and deny even conceptions of dignity and spiritedness. But the point of the

00:47:10.160 executive, the point of the presidency, is to be the spirited part of the government, the thematic part

00:47:14.660 of the government, to use an old dusty Greek word. The legislature is the appetitive part of the

00:47:20.100 government. The congressmen get reelected every two years. They're very accountable to the passions

00:47:24.220 of the people. The judiciary is supposed to be the purely logical part of the government that just

00:47:28.600 interprets the law and they're in their long robes and they're in their giant, their big, beautiful

00:47:33.320 temple. The presidency is the spirited part. And people know that intuitively. They desire that

00:47:40.400 naturally. And between Trump and Biden right now, there is no question. One of them represents

00:47:46.740 a spirited aspect of the United States. And the Democrats are terrified of that.
