The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1504 - Amazon Tribe Gets Addicted To Social Media And P＊＊N

00:00:00.000 After allowing an average of 2 million illegal border crossings per year

00:00:04.800 since he's been president, Joe Biden has finally caved to political pressure

00:00:09.080 and agreed to restrict the invasion across our southern border.

00:00:12.540 As NBC News is now reporting, quote,

00:00:17.380 Joe Biden, on Tuesday, signed an executive order that will temporarily shut down asylum requests

00:00:23.820 once the average number of daily encounters tops 2,500 between official ports of entry.

00:00:29.380 According to a senior administration official.

00:00:32.600 So still not ideal, 2,500.

00:00:37.020 I guess 2,500 is better than the 5,000 or 6,000 illegal crossings that we're seeing every day now.

00:00:43.880 So I guess that's a win, sort of.

00:00:47.460 Really though, the big win here for conservatives is not the slightly diminished

00:00:53.100 yet still historic invasion of our country.

00:00:56.180 The win here is Biden's implicit admission that President Trump was right to urge Republicans 1.00

00:01:05.300 to reject his stupid immigration bill back in February. 0.99

00:01:09.860 Do you remember this? 1.00

00:01:12.740 Politics moves so fast, things get memory hold so quickly.

00:01:15.960 Do you remember back in February when the uniparty establishment tried to con conservatives

00:01:23.240 into thinking that we needed a new sweeping immigration reform bill to shut down the invasion?

00:01:29.560 That's what Biden told us.

00:01:30.640 That's what the Democrats told us.

00:01:31.760 That's what the squishes in the GOP told us.

00:01:33.540 And some of us, I hate to say I told you so, pointed out that their argument didn't make sense.

00:01:40.460 It was incoherent because the only reason we had the invasion in the first place

00:01:43.920 is that Biden refused to enforce the laws that were already on the books.

00:01:48.660 So if he wasn't enforcing those laws, which already existed,

00:01:52.040 there was no reason to believe that a new law would suddenly get him to turn away the migrants.

00:01:56.400 The whole thing was a scam, which is why President Trump lobbied Congress to kill that bill.

00:02:03.320 Well, it's hard to believe because I think it probably would mean the end of their career.

00:02:07.300 This is a Democrat trap. 1.00

00:02:09.840 It's a trap for Republicans that would be so stupid, so foolish to sign a bill like this. 1.00

00:02:14.940 This bill can't be signed. 1.00

00:02:16.040 And it's not only that, it's massive amounts of money going out of town, as we say,

00:02:22.020 going out of town, billions and billions and billions of dollars.

00:02:25.460 And it's so bad on the border.

00:02:27.760 I've never seen anything like it. 0.99

00:02:28.900 Actually, it's one of the worst, one of the dumbest bills I've ever seen. 0.99

00:02:32.680 It was a trap. 0.99

00:02:34.200 It was a trap, as Biden himself just admitted.

00:02:37.180 Biden back then said, we need this bill to shut down the border.

00:02:41.300 I can't shut down the border without this bill.

00:02:43.760 Then Trump said, that's BS.

00:02:46.240 And then Biden admitted, okay, yeah, you're right, it was BS.

00:02:48.600 I can shut it down now.

00:02:50.100 I'm not going to totally shut it down, but I'm going to curtail it by, say, 50%.

00:02:54.640 So for those keeping score at home, President Trump once again vindicated.

00:03:00.400 The conservatives, some of us in this studio and audience right now, once again vindicated.

00:03:07.980 The libs and the squishes once again shown to be naive at best, more likely just dishonest. 0.98

00:03:14.180 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:03:14.980 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:03:34.800 Welcome back to the show.

00:03:36.920 Coming up in just a moment, we have an interview with a pro-life advocate who is being sent to prison for a very long time for peacefully advocating the end of infanticide.

00:03:51.200 Meanwhile, the rapists and the marauders and the murderers go free. 0.57

00:03:54.800 But if you're a peaceful pro-lifer, you're going to get the book thrown at you.

00:03:57.940 We will get into more of our corruption that we're seeing in the justice system.

00:04:01.900 There's so much more to say.

00:04:03.660 First, though, go to expressvpn.com slash Knowles.

00:04:07.460 Do you know what big tech and big government have in common?

00:04:10.100 They're both big.

00:04:11.040 Well, they have other things in common, too, like how they want to silence any dissenting voices into submission.

00:04:17.300 Let's say that you are a gun owner.

00:04:19.160 You like to exercise your constitutional rights.

00:04:21.240 You want to talk on social media about the right to bear arms.

00:04:24.700 Well, chances are your post will be flagged by a content moderator, and you might end up on some kind of government watch list.

00:04:31.440 To fight back against having your voice censored, you've got to check out ExpressVPN.

00:04:36.320 I love ExpressVPN.

00:04:37.480 I'm a total Luddite.

00:04:38.400 I'm not great with technology, and yet even I can use it.

00:04:41.620 And I trust them to keep my internet activity safe and private.

00:04:47.020 The problem with these tech companies is not only do they want to censor you, they also want to track what you do online, and then they can match your activity to your true identity using your device's unique IP address.

00:04:58.820 When you use ExpressVPN, that does not happen at all.

00:05:02.020 Stop letting big tech censor and track you.

00:05:18.820 I'm glad that the conservatives held the line on that bill.

00:05:22.080 The squishes were pushing it so hard they were falling for the Biden-Democrat line hook line and sinker, even though it made no sense whatsoever.

00:05:28.960 As though we didn't have laws against illegal immigration already.

00:05:32.820 Biden said, oh no, one more law that I can ignore.

00:05:35.340 Then we can shut it down.

00:05:36.760 Senator John Kennedy, Senator Foghorn Leghorn himself, one of the most delightful figures in Washington, setting the record straight.

00:05:45.360 It then said, well, we know there's a crisis at the border, but we don't have any authority to fix it.

00:05:51.260 That didn't work either. 1.00

00:05:53.580 Because the American people aren't so deep stupid. 1.00

00:05:57.480 So now he has decided to tell you that he has been born again. 1.00

00:06:04.100 He has had an epiphany.

00:06:05.700 He is now a border hawk.

00:06:10.060 And that's what he wants you to report. 0.99

00:06:14.860 Look, you can cut the hypocrisy with a knife.

00:06:20.520 This is the most, one of the most cynical things that I have ever seen a politician attempt to do five months before an election. 0.94

00:06:30.960 It's so obviously cynical.

00:06:35.320 Because cynical meaning without any regard for the truth.

00:06:39.080 Biden was just arguing vociferously that they needed this legislation passed in order to do what he's now admitting he can do with the stroke of a pen.

00:06:46.080 Furthermore, he was arguing that we need these poor unwashed masses, these oppressed people to come pour into our country. 0.82

00:06:54.860 It makes our country so much better when we have virtually unlimited immigration. 0.99

00:06:58.800 Not so long ago.

00:07:00.060 Now we're being told, no, actually, we need to cut the immigration dramatically.

00:07:03.940 They're still not going to cut it all that much, 2,500 a day.

00:07:07.760 That's an insane number of people.

00:07:09.300 But the argument and the supposed principle changes every single day.

00:07:15.860 Why?

00:07:16.200 Because we're five months out from an election, as Senator Kennedy points out.

00:07:19.640 And Biden knows that the migration issue is killing him.

00:07:22.740 Because the vast majority of Americans want to drastically reduce the number of migrants who come into our country.

00:07:26.940 Because over the last 60, 70 years, the movement of people into the United States has been the largest movement of people ever in recorded history.

00:07:36.160 So he's going to change his argument today.

00:07:38.320 He's going to change his argument tomorrow.

00:07:40.420 And he's going to change his argument the next day without any regard for the truth about how our government works, about what migration does for America, and about what the American people want.

00:07:53.760 We are getting lots of moral victories.

00:07:56.700 This is a moral victory.

00:07:57.740 Yeah, we were right.

00:07:58.980 I mean, we still have just a huge number of migrants pouring across our border, even with the supposed restrictions.

00:08:03.440 But we were proven right.

00:08:05.060 This is a moral victory.

00:08:06.780 That's great.

00:08:07.400 I like a good moral victory.

00:08:09.060 What we're not getting is lots of political victories.

00:08:12.040 They are prosecuting, convicting, and probably imprisoning our political leaders.

00:08:17.740 They're certainly imprisoning people around our political leader.

00:08:20.180 And they seem poised to do it to the former president and current Republican Party nominee, which is Trump's latest pithy, blunt fundraising and campaign appeal.

00:08:31.600 The man is a political prisoner.

00:08:33.420 I am the political prisoner of a failing nation.

00:08:36.900 But I will soon be free on November 5th, the most important day in the history of our country.

00:08:44.060 And we will together make America great again.

00:08:48.240 Thank you.

00:08:49.420 Simple.

00:08:49.980 What was that?

00:08:50.440 Ten seconds?

00:08:51.100 That could be the entire campaign.

00:08:52.740 He claims that he's a political prisoner.

00:08:55.900 So I'm going to say, well, Mr. Trump, you're not in an orange jumpsuit yet.

00:08:59.740 Yeah, sure.

00:09:00.360 Even the fact that the liberal justice system was able to keep Donald Trump off the campaign trail and in a New York courtroom for weeks.

00:09:11.500 The fact that they can keep him focused on this, the fact that they can – it's backfiring in the sense that he's raising tens and tens of millions of dollars on this injustice and public opinion is swaying decisively in his direction.

00:09:25.420 But the fact that they can keep him occupied with this nonsense when he should be campaigning for president makes him a political prisoner already.

00:09:34.300 But that's not even the most provocative phrase he uses in that pitch.

00:09:38.180 The most provocative phrase is he says, I'm a political prisoner of a failing nation.

00:09:43.660 A failing nation.

00:09:45.020 And we all feel that our nation is failing.

00:09:47.400 And it's not just failing because we have a crummy president right now or a feckless Congress or corrupt bureaucrats.

00:09:55.400 That's part of it.

00:09:56.740 But I think we feel that America is failing on a deeper level.

00:10:01.280 Yeah, we have bad economic policies.

00:10:04.020 Yeah, the president's fumbling foreign policy.

00:10:07.060 At a deeper level, okay, yeah, the border isn't secure.

00:10:11.040 We don't – a nation doesn't have a border.

00:10:12.880 A nation isn't a nation.

00:10:13.880 We've got this invasion.

00:10:15.360 But then at a deeper level still, the fact that our nation for the first time ever in 234 years is prosecuting a former president, a current major party nominee,

00:10:28.400 is the symptom that we are failing at a central, at a – in an essential level.

00:10:38.260 So what do we do about that?

00:10:40.100 That is not going to be fixed simply by replacing the president or replacing some senator or replacing some member of Congress.

00:10:49.860 The institutions of the government are failing.

00:10:52.480 Don't shoot the messenger here.

00:10:55.240 I'm sure the libs are going to say, Michael Knowles and the conservatives stoking more fears about the fragility of our institutions.

00:11:06.620 Well, they probably don't know words that are that big. 0.62

00:11:09.140 But they'll say like, Michael Knowles say dumb bad thing or whatever.

00:11:11.960 But it's not just the conservatives who are doing this.

00:11:15.640 The liberals have expressed their disillusionment with and distrust in our institutions for decades at this point.

00:11:23.940 The 2000 election, Bush v. Gore.

00:11:28.200 The liberals, many, many liberals, refused to accept the results of that election.

00:11:32.060 Stacey Abrams, they pretend that she's still the governor of Georgia even though she lost that race.

00:11:35.860 Hillary Clinton, they pretend that she really secretly won the 2016 election.

00:11:39.460 They've been doing this for years to a far greater extent and for much longer than the Republicans have.

00:11:47.000 And the Republicans now don't really have faith in our institutions because all the election rules, not all of them, but many of them were changed in the lead up to 2020 to advantage Democrats in contravention, not only of laws, but of state constitutions even in the case of Pennsylvania.

00:12:03.740 And because our justice system now has been proven to have illegally spied on President Trump's campaign and then to have illegally undermined his administration and now to be prosecuting him in a total break with American political tradition and without any real crime having been committed.

00:12:23.020 The other day, I was asked to go on the Piers Morgan show, great, great, very fun clip.

00:12:28.980 You can catch it over at Piers' YouTube channel.

00:12:31.560 And I went on and it was a panel to debate the Trump prosecution and the conviction.

00:12:37.920 And I asked a simple question to the liberal who was brought on television to defend this supposedly totally above board verdict.

00:12:47.360 And I said, hey, simple question, what crime did Trump commit?

00:12:51.940 And she couldn't say.

00:12:53.120 And then actually a Democrat lawyer who is a Democrat, hates Trump, but he's honest and he's a lawyer.

00:12:59.920 He said, yeah, yeah, the prosecution doesn't really have much here.

00:13:04.220 You know, it's so we all know it.

00:13:05.900 OK, anyone with, you know, even a modicum of common sense and familiarity with the law and our political tradition, they know that this is failing.

00:13:14.980 This is banana republic stuff.

00:13:16.800 And if the Democrats agree on that and the Republicans agree on that and the corrosion and corruption continues apace, at a certain point, your country's failed.

00:13:30.820 It's not just failing anymore.

00:13:32.560 It's failed.

00:13:33.500 There's so much more to say.

00:13:34.660 First, though, go to hallow.com slash Knowles.

00:14:51.220 You want to see one of the clearest signs of America failing.

00:14:55.740 You want to see one of the clearest signs of how corrupt our system has gotten.

00:14:59.240 There's a woman, Paulette Harlow.

00:15:03.420 She is a 75-year-old woman.

00:15:05.400 She is in relatively poor health.

00:15:08.760 She prayed at an abortion clinic and an abortion mill, a place where very evil people murder babies and get paid to do so. 0.99

00:15:18.260 She went there, and she prayed, and she peacefully demonstrated at the infanticide factory. 0.65

00:15:26.920 And for that, a judge, Colleen Kolar-Cotelli, has sentenced this woman to two years in prison.

00:15:36.020 Now, bad enough.

00:15:37.080 75-year-old woman in poor health, two years in prison could well be a life sentence.

00:15:42.340 Then, Kolar-Cotelli, when this poor victim's mother, or this poor victim's husband, rather, begged for mercy and said,

00:15:57.040 hey, my wife might die in prison here, die alone in prisons for the horrific crime of defending unborn babies. 1.00

00:16:04.620 The judge decided to taunt the woman and her husband. 1.00

00:16:08.460 The judge said that she hoped that Harlow would, quote, make an effort to remain alive.

00:16:16.860 Then the cherry on top, the judge said she hoped that Harlow would make an effort to remain alive because trying to remain alive is, quote, a tenet of her religion.

00:16:27.920 So this woman, I assume is Catholic.

00:16:32.220 I could be some kind of broader type of Christian, but I assume Catholic.

00:16:35.860 And it's true, you know, despair is a sin, suicide is a sin, giving up is a sin, sure.

00:16:43.460 So this judge, this very, very evil judge, says, hey, you woman who prayed at an abortion mill while people were murdering babies, 0.99

00:16:54.360 I'm going to sentence you to die in prison. 0.98

00:16:57.780 And that'll be fine, though, won't it? 0.99

00:17:00.420 Because, you know, you can just pray about it.

00:17:03.100 You're a Catholic.

00:17:03.920 It's okay.

00:17:04.760 Kiss it up.

00:17:05.940 It'll be sanctifying.

00:17:07.620 That's what you get, Catholics. 1.00

00:17:09.460 That's what you get, Christians. 1.00

00:17:11.400 That's what you get for praying to stop the murder of a million babies a year. 1.00

00:17:17.580 You're going to die in prison. 0.56

00:17:20.420 If you murder babies in America, you will get a parade. 1.00

00:17:25.100 You get a big march, a woman's march. 1.00

00:17:26.960 You'll be called brave, and you'll be lauded, and you will be celebrated. 0.97

00:17:32.460 If you object to murdering babies, you will die in prison. 0.89

00:17:37.780 And if you object to murdering babies on religious grounds, because God doesn't look favorably upon infanticide, then you'll be mocked and taunted while you're sent to die in prison. 0.94

00:17:53.300 This is real dark stuff.

00:17:57.440 It's like that classic comedic scene, you know, the two Nazis, you know, kind of Mitchell and Webb, right? 0.89

00:18:05.360 The two Nazis talking to each other, and one of them says, excuse me, mate, are we the baddies?

00:18:10.220 Are we the baddies?

00:18:12.320 This is real bad stuff.

00:18:13.460 This woman, Judge Colleen Colar-Cotelli, is enthralled to real spiritual darkness.

00:18:23.600 It probably would never occur to most people, one, to send a woman to die in prison for praying to stop infanticide, but then to taunt that woman and say, yeah, I hope you stay alive.

00:18:38.760 Yeah, because that's what you Christians are supposed to do, aren't you? 1.00

00:18:42.060 Good luck, Christians. 0.99

00:18:43.280 Yeah, yeah, uh-huh.

00:18:45.980 Get your orange jumpsuit on.

00:18:47.540 That is really demonic stuff.

00:18:51.260 So one should pray, obviously, for the conversion of Judge Collar-Cotelli, but also one needs to take very seriously Trump's declaration that he's a political prisoner in a failing nation.

00:19:05.020 People sometimes say that Trump is hyperbolic.

00:19:07.400 He's provocative.

00:19:09.060 I don't think he exaggerated one little bit.

00:19:12.860 I don't know how anyone could.

00:19:16.360 We have an intentional invasion across our borders that the president lies and says he can't do anything to control, and then he pretends that he'll do something about it and admits that he can do something about it if he wanted to.

00:19:31.640 Meanwhile, he and his party are prosecuting his chief rival trying to throw him in prison before the election.

00:19:39.860 Meanwhile, anyone who objects even to the most heinous acts of this corrupt regime, the wholesale slaughter of innocent little babies, gets thrown in prison and mocked specifically for being Christian. 0.82

00:19:50.840 That's real bad, guys, and I don't want to sound like I'm a tanky here or something.

00:19:57.100 I don't want to sound like I'm just, you know, throwing stones at my own country.

00:20:01.940 I love my country.

00:20:02.680 I'm a patriot.

00:20:03.280 I suspect you all are, too.

00:20:05.580 But you're not going to fix a problem if you don't acknowledge that the problem exists.

00:20:10.060 The state of America is as bad as I have ever seen it.

00:20:15.020 And I was not alive in the late 1960s when we were assassinating presidential candidates.

00:20:20.220 But we seem to be approaching levels of civil unrest and perfidy and just ugliness that are rare in history.

00:20:40.000 That means that this election is going to be consequential.

00:20:43.280 Whatever happens, the election is going to be consequential.

00:20:45.860 We are in uncharted territory.

00:20:48.180 When Trump sends out a fundraising email saying that his conviction is crossing the Rubicon, yeah, sometimes comparisons to ancient Rome are overused.

00:20:58.320 But how do you go back?

00:21:01.440 How do you go back?

00:21:02.080 What's the path back?

00:21:03.040 It's not just going to be even electing one guy.

00:21:05.160 That is the beginning of the beginning of the beginning.

00:21:07.440 The rot runs so deep.

00:22:20.900 Speaking of alternative forms of government, this is an unfortunate story.

00:22:25.820 It's kind of funny, though it's also kind of sad.

00:22:28.400 There's a remote tribe in the Amazon jungle.

00:22:31.700 They have been connected to the internet now.

00:22:34.300 This is thanks to Elon Musk's Starlink, and it's thanks directly to an activist who hooked up this tribe with Starlink.

00:22:44.600 And immediately, the tribe got hooked on social media and porn, and everything in their tribe fell apart.

00:22:50.780 According to The Post, this 2,000-member tribe, the Marubo tribe, lives along the Itui River, deep in the Amazon jungle.

00:23:00.480 They were connected to the web last September when 20 antennas were donated to them by an American entrepreneur.

00:23:06.980 And now the elders are alarmed because the youths and just the people broadly are hooked on social media platforms and pornography.

00:23:16.440 When it arrived, according to Tsai Namama Marubo, an elder there, when it arrived, everyone was happy.

00:23:26.600 Now things have gotten worse.

00:23:28.820 Young people have gotten lazy because of the internet. 0.96

00:23:31.640 They're learning the ways of white people. 0.99

00:23:33.900 I want to put a pause here.

00:23:35.520 This tribe elder is right, but this tribe elder is not telling the whole story.

00:23:41.240 This is a problem. 1.00

00:23:42.580 The tribe is learning the ways of white people, and now they're all hooked on porn, and they're lazy, and they're decadent. 1.00

00:23:49.140 The tribe is learning the worst ways of white people. 1.00

00:23:52.640 White people have a lot to offer. 0.99

00:23:54.160 White people have done a lot of great stuff throughout history.

00:23:56.660 White people have discovered all the stuff in the modern world. 1.00

00:24:00.600 White people have given us great music, great art, great culture.

00:24:05.160 White people have largely spread the religion, the true religion, the religion that animated our civilization. 1.00

00:24:14.140 Not just white people that spread it, of course, but white people have done a great job as missionaries around the world, bringing spiritual light to all the corners of the world.

00:24:23.380 White people have done a lot of great stuff. 0.80

00:24:26.740 White people have also done some bad stuff, okay? 1.00

00:24:29.800 It's a fallen world. 0.99

00:24:30.980 Everyone has virtues and vices.

00:24:32.720 And unfortunately here, what we're seeing at this tribe in the Amazon is that the white people are not bringing all the good stuff, all the really great music and the great art and the religion.

00:24:44.640 We're the missionaries.

00:24:46.320 No, no, no. 0.99

00:24:46.920 White people are bringing the absolute worst stuff about white culture, which is liberalism, modern individualism, the internet for the purpose of what? 1.00

00:24:57.380 Of porn and self-adulation through social media. 1.00

00:25:01.000 That's the problem. 1.00

00:25:01.640 The problem is not the white people. 0.77

00:25:03.120 The problem is not even cultural dialogue and going out and reaching.

00:25:08.240 It's that we used to bring people Christianity. 0.73

00:25:10.380 Now we bring them pornography. 0.98

00:25:11.740 That's bad. 1.00

00:25:13.020 Yeah, no wonder white people are getting a bad rap. 0.96

00:25:15.720 We used to evangelize. 0.89

00:25:17.540 Now we proselytize progressivism.

00:25:19.600 That's it. 0.99

00:25:20.140 That's the bad version of white people. 1.00

00:25:21.940 But it goes on. 0.97

00:25:22.700 Here's the key, I think, to this story.

00:25:24.420 The Marubo, unlike other pagan tribes, the Marubo are a chaste tribe. 0.99

00:25:31.100 They frown upon kissing in public, even.

00:25:35.780 Now, all these standards of decorum have been upended.

00:25:41.240 The young Marubo men have been sharing the porn videos to each other.

00:25:44.740 They have demonstrated already more aggressive sexual behavior than the Marubo had seen before.

00:25:51.100 We're worried, says one tribal leader.

00:25:54.420 We're worried young people are going to want to try it.

00:25:56.580 All of these decadent, disgusting things that they've been seeing on screen.

00:26:01.160 Another father, Kaipa Marubo, is worried about his kids playing first-person shooter video games, saying,

00:26:06.720 I'm worried that they're suddenly going to want to mimic them.

00:26:10.020 And so this is a vindication of all the scolds in the 90s.

00:26:16.020 You know, all the scolds that got made fun of and were called hysterical in the 90s for warning that violent video games weren't going to encourage acts of violence.

00:26:24.980 And all the libertines said, no, that never happens, man.

00:26:28.060 Come on, quit blaming violent video games for increasingly violent behavior.

00:26:33.280 Stop blaming all the porn for all of the increasingly weird sex stuff that people are engaging in in the real physical world. 0.99

00:26:41.240 The Marubo understand human nature a lot better than those white liberals. 0.93

00:26:46.380 Because what the Marubo recognize is that human beings are mimetic. 0.60

00:26:51.400 We imitate each other.

00:26:53.160 That's how we cultivate our personalities.

00:26:56.140 That's how we learn how to be human.

00:26:58.060 You imitate your mommy and daddy.

00:26:59.980 And then you imitate your family, your extended family, your older brothers.

00:27:03.660 Then you imitate your friends and family and your community.

00:27:06.240 This is why there's a common expression that you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.

00:27:12.320 Because we're mimetic.

00:27:13.280 This is the theory advanced by René Girard, who I've mentioned on this show before, the French sociologist who has this thesis, an obviously true thesis as far as I'm concerned, that so much of our character, not only what we do and how we talk, but even our desires are products of imitating the desires of others.

00:27:33.700 You want the Rolex watch, not because you know anything about watchmaking, but because people who you admire and respect and want to be like, like the Rolex watch.

00:27:42.880 And so you mimic even their desires.

00:27:45.300 That's true.

00:27:45.940 The Marubo recognize this. 0.94

00:27:47.280 So if you have a culture, not to sound like 90s church lady, but if you want a culture that's not violent and crazed and full of lust and, you know, decadent sex stuff, then you got to, you got to tamp down the porn and the violent video games. 0.88

00:28:03.660 It's just, that's just a fact.

00:28:05.940 It shouldn't even be that controversial.

00:28:07.320 If the Marubo can get it, the white libs in America should get it too. 1.00

00:28:10.880 Speaking of natural reactions and violence and sex stuff, actually, there's a Spanish father who has gone viral. 0.97

00:28:19.700 This guy's name is Alberto Pugilato.

00:28:23.980 Alberto showed up to a comedy show and started beating the daylights out of a comedian named Jaime Caravaca.

00:28:32.400 Here's the video.

00:28:35.580 You know, get over it.

00:28:37.320 Get over it, says the comedian.

00:28:39.220 He says, hey, there's no need.

00:28:40.440 Hey, hey, hey, you got to go back.

00:28:42.160 Then the dad turns to the man.

00:28:44.800 It looks like security guards were walking up to him.

00:28:47.000 He says, hold on.

00:28:48.540 He's talking to the comedian.

00:28:49.220 He says, what were you saying? 0.99

00:28:50.100 You said my son was going to do a disgusting sex act when he's three months old. 1.00

00:28:55.400 Garbage. 1.00

00:28:56.020 Now what? 1.00

00:28:56.540 Tell me.

00:28:57.040 The comedian cowering in the back.

00:28:58.360 Tell that to my face right now.

00:28:59.440 Tell me right now.

00:29:02.440 Then he says to the guy, looks like a bodyguard.

00:29:04.220 He says, hey, excuse me.

00:29:05.020 I'm sorry.

00:29:05.580 I'm sorry.

00:29:06.020 And I beg your pardon.

00:29:07.320 I beg your pardon.

00:29:09.660 But I'm a father defending his children.

00:29:11.040 I love the guys in the audience and it looks like the bodyguard.

00:29:14.440 He says, okay, yeah, all right.

00:29:15.740 You're cooking.

00:29:16.280 You can cook.

00:29:17.180 He says, this man made sexualizing comments about my three-month-old son.

00:29:20.060 That has consequences, doesn't it?

00:29:21.500 Then he gets one last smack at him before he leaves.

00:29:29.720 What's the backstory here?

00:29:31.660 Backstory is, this father is a right-wing activist and commentator.

00:29:36.740 And he posted a picture with his kid, three-month-old kid, said pride and joy. 0.96

00:29:39.360 And then this degenerate leftist comedian, quote-unquote, said nothing and no one can prevent the possibility that he is gay. 0.98

00:29:47.600 And when he grows up and he gets tired of, and then he starts describing particularly gross sex acts, that he will go on and continue to live that lifestyle. 0.98

00:29:59.980 I'm cleaning up some of the language here. 1.00

00:30:01.380 And so this father, he says, you're going to regret those comments.

00:30:07.100 And he shows up and he gives him a stern talking to him a couple smacks.

00:30:13.740 The free speech absolutists, which was the position that the conservatives, quote-unquote, had adopted five, six years ago, they would say, well, no, you can never, ever get angry at anyone for anything they say.

00:30:25.840 And you should never try to shut down speech.

00:30:27.800 And what that comedian said is free speech.

00:30:29.620 And certainly a father shouldn't give a smack to a guy who says that about his three-month-old son.

00:30:35.600 My take on it, it's very good to control your emotions.

00:30:40.120 Vigilante justice is very bad.

00:30:42.100 We leave justice to the justice system.

00:30:46.620 I don't think a reasonable jury, I don't think any member of a reasonable jury, if that Spanish father were brought up on charges, not one member would vote to convict if they were reasonable.

00:30:59.620 I think society would be a little bit better if people were a little bit more polite, if people recognized that there are standards and taboos, and you don't say certain things.

00:31:09.300 And if a so-called comedian made those kind of comments about my little kids, I'd probably be pretty inclined to have the same reaction.

00:31:19.920 And before the libs accuse me of defending violence here, I'm observing a fact of political society and a fact of speech.

00:31:34.020 Because this already exists.

00:31:38.060 If you, in America today, go out and say, for instance, transgenderism is wrong, and it's wrong for everyone, and so for the good of society, and especially for the good of the poor people who've fallen prey to this confusion, the ideology must be eradicated from public life entirely. 0.96

00:31:53.720 If you were just hypothetically to say something like that, people would try to kill you. 0.98

00:31:59.000 Leftists would actively, they would threaten to kill you, and they would try to kill you. 1.00

00:32:03.040 Okay? 1.00

00:32:03.760 Take my word for it, folks.

00:32:06.600 And that would happen if you're a public person, that would happen if you're a private person, that would happen if you set it at your office or your school or at a cafe in the middle of nowhere.

00:32:16.720 Because societies have standards and taboos and norms, and they enforce those.

00:32:22.400 Just naturally, that always happens.

00:32:24.140 The problem with our society today is that this natural phenomenon still exists.

00:32:32.200 It's just that if you go out and you make disgusting, sick comments that probably merit a hard drive check for that so-called comedian about a three-month-old kid, well, you'll be protected.

00:32:44.260 The courts will be on your side.

00:32:46.720 But if you go out there and you say, hey, men and women are different, actually, the courts will be against you.

00:32:52.580 They'll try to prosecute you if they can.

00:32:54.980 But even if we're not that far along in America yet, if libs harass you, they threaten you, they attack you, they will be let off the hook most of the time.

00:33:07.880 The problem isn't that we don't actually have taboos that we enforce here.

00:33:12.640 It's that we protect all the most disgusting and depraved things.

00:33:16.720 Rather than what we used to do, which was protect good things.

00:33:21.280 And what we used to do, which was have a culture that exalted honor and virtue.

00:33:28.880 Now it's totally the opposite.

00:33:31.080 A lot of lessons to be taken out of Spain.

00:33:34.060 Speaking of weird sex stuff, there's a guy named Scott Wiener.

00:33:38.480 Scott Wiener is a state senator in California.

00:33:41.480 Scott Wiener wants to replace Nancy Pelosi.

00:33:43.340 Nancy Pelosi has been in Congress since, I believe, the Articles of Confederation.

00:33:48.020 She has been the Democrat leader there since at least the time of President Cleveland, maybe further back to President Garfield.

00:33:57.660 And so Democrats are recognizing, you know, old father time comes for us all.

00:34:03.280 And at a certain point, she's going to leave Congress.

00:34:05.340 So this guy, Scott Wiener, wants to replace her.

00:34:08.060 If you've heard that name, Scott Wiener before, you might have heard it on this show.

00:34:13.060 It's because Scott Wiener is the state senator best known for vociferously advocating that there be a reduction in punishments for grown men who sexually abuse underage boys.

00:34:27.900 That was a big campaign for Scott Wiener, is he said, the law in California is too harsh on grown men who sexually abuse underage boys.

00:34:38.700 And we need to make sure that those men receive lighter punishments.

00:34:42.820 I am not joking.

00:34:44.360 Look it up.

00:34:46.260 That guy wants to replace Nancy Pelosi, which is a reminder in politics. 1.00

00:34:51.700 I don't particularly care for Nancy Pelosi. 0.79

00:34:54.280 I think she's pretty terrible.

00:34:55.480 But things can always get worse.

00:35:00.080 And in a political order that is failing to the degree that ours is failing, you can bet on things getting worse.

00:35:09.100 You might think Biden is bad.

00:35:11.080 Just wait until you see the libs who follow Biden.

00:35:13.580 You think that Pelosi is bad.

00:35:15.160 Just wait until you see that.

00:35:16.080 Well, you just saw that one of the libs who's trying to replace Pelosi.

00:35:19.500 That's not a defense of Pelosi or Biden.

00:35:21.400 They're really awful too.

00:35:22.400 And we got to beat them.

00:35:23.340 But if you just look at the trajectory of the American political order, it's going in a bad direction.

00:35:30.200 It is a vindication, not only of Trump and the conservatives and all that.

00:35:35.780 It's a vindication of that old line that I learned from a priest friend of mine about the difference between a conservative optimist and a conservative pessimist.

00:35:43.240 The conservative pessimist says things can't get any worse.

00:35:45.920 The conservative optimist says, oh, yes, they can.

00:35:48.500 My favorite comment yesterday is from Beatrix Kiddo 5, who says, Jim Jones, I got 900 people to drink the Kool-Aid.

00:35:58.140 Dr. Fauci, amateur.

00:36:00.160 Oh, you're a huge amateur.

00:36:02.280 Okay.

00:36:03.060 Speaking of injustice and death, Denny Green is a Virginia-based minister.

00:36:11.220 He was arrested in early March of 2021, three years ago, at a Mount Juliet abortion mill right here in my state of Tennessee.

00:36:21.880 And he was there singing and praying in the hallway outside the doors of this abortion mill.

00:36:29.260 And for this grave crime, he's facing 10 and a half years in prison.

00:36:36.900 Denny, thank you for coming on the show.

00:36:39.180 Hi, Michael.

00:36:39.760 Thank you.

00:36:40.540 What happened?

00:36:41.140 Well, myself, along with a number of other Christians, met in Mount Juliet to try to save babies one day at that particular TeraFem abortion clinic. 0.93

00:36:53.900 We gathered in the hallway outside of the clinic, prayed and sang as some of the ladies were reaching out to women who were coming to seek services of the abortion clinic with hopes of changing their minds, offering them help so they wouldn't have to go through with that. 0.93

00:37:09.640 And after about two hours, we were arrested.

00:37:13.820 Everything was peaceful.

00:37:15.200 We worked with the police.

00:37:16.600 We walked out.

00:37:17.800 We didn't resist.

00:37:20.180 And ultimately, we were charged with violating the FACE Act, which was enacted during the Clinton administration in 94, basically to put to death any protests, as they would say, like this.

00:37:35.600 And that wasn't enough for Merrick Garland and his crew.

00:37:40.040 They looked back to the 1800s and found a law that was enacted to protect African-Americans against discrimination and having their civil rights violated.

00:37:51.220 And they charged us with violating a violation of civil rights.

00:37:56.580 So that added not just our half or six months possible sentence with FACE, another 10 years possible sentence.

00:38:05.840 I could have told you almost exactly what they would have charged you with before you even said it.

00:38:11.540 I'm not surprised at all.

00:38:13.560 This FACE Act, a lot of people don't know about it.

00:38:17.060 The FACE Act was pushed by Bill Clinton, and it was to protect abortion mills from anyone objecting to them slaughtering babies. 0.71

00:38:25.180 That's what it was about.

00:38:25.820 It was about shutting down peaceful protests.

00:38:27.380 And it got held up in the legislative process because it was just so obviously evil.

00:38:33.760 I mean, it's just such an evil law.

00:38:35.720 So the way that they tried to save face on it was they said, okay, and we're also going to protect houses of worship from protests.

00:38:43.640 But the FACE Act is never used to prosecute protests at houses of worship.

00:38:49.060 There's all sorts of vandalism, all sorts of evil stuff that the libs inflict on churches. 0.93

00:38:54.040 And that stuff almost never gets prosecuted.

00:38:55.840 And the FACE Act is never used as the justification for that kind of prosecution.

00:39:01.080 Its only use is to protect the abortion mills from people praying and singing outside of them and putting people such as yourself in prison.

00:39:09.840 Then the Civil Rights Act, or I'm sorry, the older civil rights laws that are being applied by the federal government, because now FACE Act, it's a federal crime.

00:39:18.960 It's so disingenuous because in modern society, the justification for any great political movement has to be civil rights and the protection of civil rights.

00:39:31.820 But of course, what about the civil rights of a little baby not to be murdered?

00:39:37.560 That seems to have gone out the wayside.

00:39:39.840 So now you're looking at over a decade in prison.

00:39:41.540 What are the odds that that you have to serve it?

00:39:47.360 Well, honestly, that's all in the hands of the judge in the early July.

00:39:53.520 We just have the example of the sentencing in a D.C. case.

00:39:58.520 The situation with their case was different from ours, so it's not identical.

00:40:04.460 But those defendants received anywhere from 21 months to like 57 months, I believe.

00:40:11.760 But they were held from the moment they were arrested all the way through to the trial.

00:40:17.200 So we really don't know.

00:40:19.280 We're just trusting the father.

00:40:21.560 What happens, happens.

00:40:22.900 But it's up to the judge.

00:40:24.400 When you decided to go and peacefully protest at the abortion mill, did you know this might happen?

00:40:31.820 Well, nobody did.

00:40:32.700 This has never happened before.

00:40:34.500 We knew there was a possibility of a face charge.

00:40:37.720 But, I mean, they pulled this other civil rights issue up out of thin air.

00:40:42.180 This is all new.

00:40:43.040 Nobody expected this.

00:40:45.620 And how are you and your family and your fellow demonstrators holding up?

00:40:52.780 Well, as for me, I'm blessed.

00:40:55.400 The scripture says, you know, those who live godly, Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution.

00:41:00.940 And it's nothing we want, but God's grace is sufficient.

00:41:05.280 And as far as I know, with the other defendants, they're friends of mine, they're also like that.

00:41:10.000 Of course, we don't want to go to prison.

00:41:11.340 We have families.

00:41:12.760 But we're trusting the father through it all.

00:41:15.740 Ultimately, he would receive the most glory wherever he has us for the moment.

00:41:18.720 What do you make, given these kinds of, now it seems, common prosecutions of nice, ordinary people who are just quietly or at least modestly and peacefully objecting to infanticide?

00:41:35.200 All of these prosecutions, people going to prison.

00:41:37.540 What do you make of President Trump's observation that we're living in a failing nation?

00:41:44.080 Well, I mean, that's obviously true.

00:41:46.420 And we've been going down this road for a long time.

00:41:51.980 We're just really running off the cliff.

00:41:53.560 And those things that God calls an abomination are now accepted as a civil right and as justified and good and wholesome.

00:42:05.500 So, yeah, we're in a bad state.

00:42:07.980 And, you know, the Bible says judgment begins in the house of the Lord.

00:42:12.740 You know, if things happen like this, those who stand up against evil, if hard times are going to have to come to them first, it seems that way right now.

00:42:23.560 Then I guess it's the road we're going to have to walk.

00:42:27.180 But hopefully with all the press and with all the attention that these crazy, absurd sentences or potential sentences will bring in the way they're persecuting the church, who stand against wickedness, hopefully it will waken people up and some people start speaking out and standing against it.

00:42:45.000 I know that the politicians, even Trump, has spoken about our case on his campaign trail.

00:42:49.620 So, hopefully, if he gets elected, he won't forget what he said during his campaigning if we're sitting in prison.

00:43:00.440 When will you find out?

00:43:01.900 I mean, when is the sentencing?

00:43:04.160 July 2nd and 3rd.

00:43:06.460 July 2nd.

00:43:07.000 So, it's really coming up.

00:43:09.020 Speaking of President Trump, there's a nice little coincidence there, which is that the president's sentencing is right around that time as well.

00:43:16.280 And then four days after that, you're going to have the Republican National Convention with or without a nominee, I guess, depending on if they put the nominee in an orange jumpsuit.

00:43:25.160 So, looking ahead at this, not just as a personal and legal issue, but as a political issue, are you hopeful?

00:43:36.600 I mean, I know you're hopeful in the theological sense.

00:43:38.940 You know, it's a theological virtue.

00:43:40.560 But are you hopeful that the country is going to, this is going to wake people up?

00:43:45.360 Or do you think that, no, that the libs are going to ramp up this persecution and things are going to get a lot worse before they get better?

00:43:54.380 Okay, yeah, I think the latter.

00:43:56.160 I can see where they're ramping up the persecution because that's what they're doing.

00:44:00.960 You know, they've been, the feds have been bringing charges against people who had been arrested years ago that whose court cases had already been settled.

00:44:10.860 They were, they were gone and then digging those cases up to bring federal charges against them.

00:44:15.880 Now they're on a, they're seeing that it's working, at least at this point, they're getting convictions.

00:44:21.400 So, I think they're enjoying their time right now.

00:44:25.360 But whether things will turn around in the future, I mean, if I don't speak theologically, just what I see around me, I see things growing worse.

00:44:33.840 I look at, you know, how are college students being taught right now in the universities, you know, our future leaders and the worldviews people have.

00:44:40.300 And what I see when I minister at the abortion clinics, harder and harder hearts than I used to, say, in the 90s.

00:44:47.840 But I'm hopeful that if the church acts like the church and becomes salt and light as we should be, that also will identify.

00:44:57.480 And hopefully, hopefully, you know, we always want to see revival.

00:45:01.740 But things may get tough.

00:45:03.520 I mean, hey, they got tough in Russia and China and Cuba.

00:45:06.180 We're not necessarily exempt from hard times.

00:45:09.120 Yeah, that's true. 0.96

00:45:09.620 And the Christian view of history, of course, is a little different maybe than the secular view of history where they say it's just one damn thing after another.

00:45:17.140 The Christian view of history is that we know the beginning.

00:45:20.540 We know the pivot of history, the incarnation, the crucifixion, the resurrection.

00:45:23.960 And we know the end of history.

00:45:25.380 We actually know how the story ends.

00:45:26.520 And it ultimately ends, you know, in a happy way.

00:45:29.900 Though, there's a lot of suffering in the meantime.

00:45:35.260 And it seems that our persecutors on the other side of the political aisle are going to ramp that up as quickly as they can.

00:45:44.820 Denny, best of luck to you.

00:45:46.320 We will pray for you, of course.
