The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1525 - Joe Biden Claims To Be Black Woman

00:00:00.000 Joe Biden has been a lot of things over the years. He's been a moderate. He's been a radical.

00:00:04.800 He's been a hawk. He's been a dove. And now, as he faces mounting pressure to step down as his

00:00:11.280 party's 2024 presidential nominee, Biden is attempting yet another reboot, this time shedding

00:00:17.460 his image as an old white man and becoming instead a black woman. By the way, I'm proud to be, as I

00:00:24.500 said, the first vice president, the first black woman to serve with the black president. I'm proud

00:00:31.680 to be the first black woman in the Supreme Court. There's just so much that we can do because

00:00:37.500 together, there's nothing. Look, this is the United States of America.

00:00:42.400 Good for him. It's Biden's party that told us that a person can be anything he wants to be.

00:00:48.760 And if a dude can be a chick, I see no reason that white as snow Joe Biden can't be a proud

00:00:53.700 Nubian queen, darker than the blackest obsidian. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles 0.99

00:00:58.580 Show. Welcome back to the show. The New York Times is attacking Christians and telling Christians to

00:01:22.500 get out of American politics. Stop the presses. I know you've never heard that before. Actually,

00:01:27.780 there's a lot to say about the press today. The press really exposing themselves as having no

00:01:34.240 credibility, as having very little honesty in a way that I haven't seen probably in about eight years

00:01:41.060 since Trump started his campaign. We'll get to that in a moment. First, though, it's Sicilian summer.

00:01:47.660 Okay, a lot of everyone's trying to claim the summer. It's this kind of summer. It's that kind of

00:01:50.960 summer. We all know what it is. It's Sicilian summer. That's why we have this candle. And it's

00:01:54.900 back. It's sold out immediately because it has citrusy and delightful. It smells like a nice,

00:02:01.460 lovely little glass of limoncello. Well, it's back in stock. You go to thecandleclub.com.

00:02:08.740 Thecandleclub.com. Not candleclub.com. I think maybe you can go to the DW store, but go to

00:02:13.540 thecandleclub.com. Get all of the Michael Knowles candles, including creme de la creme,

00:02:19.480 old soul, wise man, the Mayflower collection, and our seasonal treat, Sicilian summer.

00:03:47.860 Biden's first week as a black woman is not going very well. Biden went viral over the weekend for

00:03:54.340 a clip at some rally. He's given some rally to try to recover from that disastrous debate.

00:03:58.700 And he makes a glaring omission in his glad handing. You see Biden, he's taking selfies with

00:04:07.540 people. There's a nice big white couple. Here's a nice big white guy with a mustache. Then there's

00:04:12.360 a black woman who smiles. Hide you. Oh, nope. He's passing right over her. Yeah, she's kind of looking.

00:04:20.040 Hmm. Nope. She's looking to the side. Wait, why did he pass over me? Just talk to that white lady. 1.00

00:04:25.640 Now he's just talking. Oh, there's another white lady. Huh? Here I am. Well, there goes my smile. 0.70

00:04:31.440 I should smile a little bit again, but he's not, he's not even looking at her. No, no.

00:04:37.800 Now Joe Biden does not recognize his fellow strong black woman. He just moves on to the white people. 0.93

00:04:44.200 And then this poor black lady, she's like, okay, all right. Well, anyway, bye. Should I vote for Trump? 1.00

00:04:49.880 I don't know. Maybe I should vote for Trump. Why do I mention it? Because Joe Biden's a horrible,

00:04:53.780 terrible racist. I don't know. Maybe that's kind of the low level, I think, take on Biden. I don't

00:05:00.340 know. I don't think it's really that. I don't think Biden hates black people or anything like

00:05:04.840 that. I just think he's losing his political touch. That's what I think. And in a way, that's

00:05:10.760 more devastating. You're going to hear all these conservatives look at that clip and say, see,

00:05:15.280 Biden's a racist, just like his old friend, the exalted Cyclops of the Ku Klux Klan, Senator

00:05:21.800 Robert Byrd, or those Democrats, the party, the KKK, whatever. Yeah. Okay, fine. I don't

00:05:27.340 think Biden hates black people. I think Biden doesn't really believe anything. And the one 0.98

00:05:32.560 skill he's had in life is he's really good at shaking hands and slapping backs and smiling

00:05:36.360 at people and kissing babies. He is a talented politician. That's how he got elected to the

00:05:41.520 Senate when he was too young constitutionally, even to serve in the Senate. And he's been in

00:05:46.640 politics for 50 years now, national politics, over 50 years. And the problem for Biden is in

00:05:53.660 order to be a politician, I said this after the debate, the main skill you have to have is to be

00:05:59.060 able to talk and Biden can no longer talk. That's what's so devastating. The other skills you need

00:06:05.640 to have, which are related to talking are get a smile for pictures and slap people on the back and

00:06:09.980 make them feel good and make sure, especially if you're a liberal politician, that you play all your

00:06:14.560 identity politics cards exactly right. You know, a woman outranks a man and a black woman outranks a 1.00

00:06:20.400 black man and certainly a white man and a homosexual outranks a heterosexual. And you got to keep that 1.00

00:06:24.860 in mind. And he doesn't, he doesn't, he's lost his touch. He's lost his political skill. And now he is

00:06:30.340 left truly with nothing, which is why the Democrat establishment is trying to run him out. So Biden to

00:06:36.340 stop the bleeding on his campaign decides that he's going to sit down for an interview. And who's he

00:06:41.260 choose to sit down with? George Stephanopoulos on ABC. George Stephanopoulos is not just a liberal

00:06:49.680 journalist. That would be bad enough. Okay, we got to help the campaign. I'm going to sit down with a

00:06:54.040 friendly journalist. George Stephanopoulos was Bill Clinton's White House communications director.

00:06:59.100 Okay, George Stephanopoulos was, for the part of his career that made him famous,

00:07:05.260 an actual propagandist for establishment Democrat politicians like Joe Biden. This is the safest

00:07:13.600 possible interview that Joe Biden can go on. And he still blew it. Stephanopoulos pushed him,

00:07:22.980 said, are you going to step down? First, Joe Biden comes out defiant, says no.

00:07:28.780 If you can be convinced that you cannot defeat Donald Trump, will you stand down?

00:07:36.920 Well, the Lord Almighty comes out and tells me that I might do that.

00:07:41.060 Well, I mean, on a more practical level, Washington Post just reported in the last hour

00:07:45.680 that Senator Mark Warner is assembling a group of senators together to try and convince you to

00:07:50.860 stand down because they don't think you can win. Well, Mark is a good man. We've never had that.

00:07:56.400 He also tried to get the nomination, too. Mark's not. Mark and I have a different perspective.

00:08:02.820 I respect him. And if Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries and Nancy Pelosi come down and say,

00:08:10.180 we're worried that if you stay in the race, we're going to lose the House and the Senate,

00:08:14.660 how will you respond? I go into detail with them. I've spoken to all of them in detail,

00:08:20.240 including Jim Clyburn, every one of them. They all said I should stay in the race.

00:08:25.140 So Biden's team is doing everything to make him look young and vigorous. They have colored him

00:08:32.000 orange. They've actually done the thing to him that they make fun of Donald Trump for doing to

00:08:36.140 himself, which is they've put a bronzer on him that makes him look orange. Next, they're going to put a

00:08:40.980 big blonde wig on him and a big fat red power tie and, I don't know, give him a golf resort or

00:08:45.580 something. They're trying to make him look a little bit like Trump. Then he's not wearing a tie. He's

00:08:49.740 wearing a blue striped shirt, and he's got the blue striped shirt unbuttoned, not quite to his navel,

00:08:54.440 like he's, I don't know, he's about to get on a yacht off the coast of Sorrento or something.

00:08:58.340 They're just trying to make him look young and vibrant. But his speech, the quality of his voice,

00:09:04.740 the slowness with which he speaks, the raspiness, the fragility, the obvious fragility through his

00:09:13.200 fame is giving him away. You can put all the bronzer on in the world. You can dress him up like he's

00:09:18.120 Leonardo DiCaprio. It's not going to do anything. It's clear that he's frail and losing it. You see

00:09:23.520 here, he says, I've spoken to them. That's the first one. No, don't worry. I've spoken to them

00:09:31.980 at length. I've spoken to them. Is that the participle? To speak? I don't think so. His

00:09:38.120 inability to talk gives him away. Then he makes the bigger gaffe of the interview, which is when

00:09:47.340 Stephanopoulos says, hey, man, okay, you want to stay in it. I get it, whatever. But

00:09:50.880 what if Trump wins? What if Trump wins because you're so old and senile? What are you going to

00:09:57.140 say after that happens? Mr. President, I've never seen a president's 36% approval get reelected?

00:10:03.100 Well, I don't believe that's my approval. That's not what our polls show.

00:10:07.060 And if you stay in and Trump is elected and everything you're warning about comes to pass,

00:10:12.400 how will you feel in January? I feel as long as I gave it my all and I did the goodest job as I know

00:10:19.360 I can do. That's what this is about. That's what this is about, man. I got to do the goodest job.

00:10:24.920 Where's my sticker? Can I have a nap now, please? Come on, Jack, I'm tired.

00:10:30.140 The word he was looking for is best. That is the superlative form of good. It's good,

00:10:37.000 better, and best. But he did goodest because he can't use words anymore. He was able to use words

00:10:44.540 in his young political career. He allegedly had some childhood stutter. It went away for 50 years

00:10:50.480 in his political career. Then it came back, but it didn't really come back. It's just senility.

00:10:54.520 That's it. If Biden can't make it through a George Stephanopoulos interview,

00:11:01.260 he can't make it through anything. This is the softest. I don't mean any disrespect to

00:11:07.580 Stephanopoulos. He pushed him here where he should have pushed him on behalf of the Democrat party,

00:11:11.720 which is trying to throw Biden out right now. But he pushed him enough. But still,

00:11:14.920 he's George Stephanopoulos, okay? He's Clinton's comms guy. He gives softball politicians to,

00:11:19.600 softball interviews, rather, to Democrat politicians, and Biden flubbed it. He didn't

00:11:25.120 hurt himself all that much in the sense that he'd already so perhaps mortally wounded himself during

00:11:31.260 that debate with Trump that there was really no way to injure himself any further. But he didn't

00:11:36.520 help himself. The point of the Stephanopoulos interview was to help Biden stop the bleeding,

00:11:41.020 turn the campaign around. It didn't happen. The point of the debate, the reason he proposed the

00:11:44.180 debate to Trump was to turn his numbers around, stop the bleeding of his support, and stop Donald

00:11:51.460 Trump's rise. Neither of those things worked. So now the Democrats have two clear examples just

00:11:57.660 from the past few weeks. They need to get this guy out, and he doesn't want to go. There's so much

00:12:02.000 more to say. First, though, go to number three, dayblinds.com slash Knowles. There is a better way to

00:13:25.300 credit for how they're now asking questions about Joe Biden. There are some Republicans,

00:13:29.900 they're going to say, wow, you know, even the New York Times, even the Washington Post are going after

00:13:34.380 Biden. Wow, maybe they're fair after all. They're not. Don't do that. You do not,

00:13:39.300 under any circumstances, have to give the establishment media credit for anything.

00:13:45.560 Because now they're all turning on Biden because they're afraid that the cat's out of the bag and

00:13:49.360 everyone realizes that the guy's brain is applesauce and he's not going to be able to beat

00:13:52.240 Trump in November. So they're trying hurriedly to replace him before their convention in August and,

00:13:57.400 you know, even before the deadline, which is coming up in a week or two, to get a nominee so

00:14:02.400 that he can appear on all the ballots in all 50 states. I want to remind you that all these

00:14:07.940 intrepid journalists, the New York Times, the Washington Post, Joe Scarborough, Joe Scarborough

00:14:12.300 now raising all sorts of questions about Biden's fitness. Four months ago, this, four months ago,

00:14:17.840 this is what Joe Scarborough had to say about Joe Biden.

00:14:20.000 But comparing that guy's mental state, I've said it for years now, he's cogent.

00:14:27.760 But I undersold him when I said he was cogent. He's far beyond cogent. In fact, I think he's better

00:14:35.100 than he's ever been intellectually, analytically, because he's been around for 50 years.

00:14:43.680 And, you know, I don't know if people know this or not. Biden used to be a hothead.

00:14:50.060 Sometimes that Irishman would get in front of the reasoning. Sometimes he would say things he 1.00

00:14:55.040 didn't want to say. This is and I don't really you know what? I don't really start your tape right

00:15:02.820 now because I'm about to tell you the truth and F you if you can't handle the truth.

00:15:08.060 This version of Biden, intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever.

00:15:18.260 Not a close second. And I've known him for years. The Brzezinski's have known him for 50 years.

00:15:23.580 If it weren't the truth, I wouldn't say it.

00:15:27.820 It wasn't the truth. I love how Joe Scarborough sets this up. He says this thing. Then he says,

00:15:34.980 hey, start your tape right now because I'm going to tell you the truth. Meaning everything I've been

00:15:39.880 telling you is a lie. But now I'm going to tell you the truth. And then, of course, he just repeats

00:15:44.540 the thing he said previously. I've known Biden for years. My third wife, her family's known Biden for

00:15:51.980 50 years, his entire political career. This is the best Biden has ever been intellectually and

00:15:59.840 analytically. So is Joe Scarborough, I don't mean just to pick on Joe Scarborough,

00:16:05.840 are the liberal media liars or simply incompetent and oblivious?

00:16:15.540 Some are one, some are the other, some are a little bit of both. Either way,

00:16:19.800 no credibility whatsoever. They have no credibility at all. Joe Scarborough in that clip

00:16:28.220 is either lying or he doesn't know anything. The left-wing media lying or they don't know

00:16:34.860 anything. Either way, no reason to believe them. They're now freaking out because unfortunately for

00:16:40.500 them, they thought they were going to be able to rig the presidential debate and rig the rules in a

00:16:45.960 way that would harm Trump and then put it on a left-wing cable network. And so you wouldn't have

00:16:50.280 to worry about an audience or the committee on presidential debates or this, that, or the other

00:16:53.620 thing. They thought they had it all in the bag and it actually ended up hurting Biden.

00:16:57.300 They thought, for instance, that not having a studio audience in for that debate would help

00:17:04.140 Biden and hurt Trump. Because Trump, Trump plays to the big crowds and they thought, okay, if we get

00:17:08.400 all the crowds and the cheering out of there, Biden will do better. The opposite happened. Biden plays

00:17:13.840 off of the energy of people. It totally killed him. They thought the commercial breaks would help

00:17:18.160 them. They thought it being on CNN would help them. They thought this, that, and the other thing didn't

00:17:20.880 work. That's why they're freaking out right now. Now, speaking of our extremely dishonest media,

00:17:25.680 House Democrats are bringing out the big guns to kill a GOP bill requiring proof of citizenship to

00:17:35.020 vote in federal elections. This, according to Axios. Axios, a center-left publication. Scoop!

00:17:41.640 Scoop! House Dem leadership bringing out the big guns against this Republican bill.

00:17:46.860 Now, why are they doing that? The liberals had told us that illegal aliens never vote. This is

00:17:54.980 not a worry at all. So if they really believed that, and then the Republicans came out and said,

00:18:01.220 there is a bill that's going to ban illegals from voting. If the Democrats really believed what they

00:18:06.160 were saying, you would imagine that they might say, okay, well, no big deal. It's not going to change

00:18:09.100 anything because the illegals aren't voting. But that's not what they're doing. The House Democratic

00:18:12.020 leadership is going to bring out the big guns. They're going to kill this bill as fast as they 0.85

00:18:15.900 can because it won't change anything at all, right? I don't think so. This is like when the

00:18:22.700 Democrats were so eager to kill Trump's wall, his big, beautiful wall. They campaigned. They said,

00:18:29.260 walls don't work. Walls don't work. Walls don't work. And that is why we're going to do everything

00:18:33.200 we can to stop Trump from building a wall. Well, I thought the walls don't work. Let him build the

00:18:37.340 biggest wall in the world. It's not going to affect your policy, right? If what you're saying is true.

00:18:40.860 Let the Republicans pass this bill. It's not going to affect a single vote for a Democrat

00:18:44.720 if what you're saying is true. DEI is not being taught in schools. Remember that one?

00:18:50.700 Republicans go after DEI, critical race theory in schools. The Democrats say this is outrageous,

00:18:57.500 critical race theory, and all the DEI-related ideologies. They are not being taught in schools.

00:19:01.980 And that is why we're going to fight tooth and nail to stop Republicans from banning it in schools.

00:19:06.100 They're not transing your kids. What are you taught? You crazy Republicans,

00:19:10.080 you're passing all sorts of rules to stop liberals from transing your kids. We're not doing that.

00:19:16.620 And that's why we're going to fight those laws tooth and nail. It's very, very important

00:19:19.700 that children have access to the life-saving transgender transitions that we are not presenting 1.00

00:19:25.600 to them. Wait, what? What is it? Which, which is it? I want to be as fair as I possibly can to the

00:19:34.700 libs. I guess they could still try to say with a straight face that no, illegal aliens are not

00:19:40.960 voting. This has nothing to do with illegal aliens voting. But you see, if you require proof of

00:19:46.260 citizenship, then other groups who support us are not going to be able to vote because they don't

00:19:51.320 have proof of citizenship. Their argument, if they are going to keep a straight face and say illegal

00:19:56.700 aliens are not voting, then their argument is our voters are so stupid and disorganized and 0.74

00:20:00.940 incompetent that they can't even prove that they're Americans when they go to vote.

00:20:05.400 Those are the only two options. Either they're trying to rig the election by getting illegal

00:20:10.300 aliens to vote illegally, or they think their own voters are so stupid and disorganized, 0.85

00:20:17.760 so many standard deviations away from the average IQ that they can't even prove that they're Americans.

00:20:23.740 Either way, it doesn't bode very well for the Democrat Party. Now, speaking of DEI,

00:20:29.820 among one of my many examples of Democrats doing this exact thing,

00:20:34.860 Gavin Newsom is coming out swinging against conservative objections to the potential Kamala

00:20:41.940 Harris pregnancy. Pregnancy? Presidency. I don't think she's pregnant. The New York Post came out and

00:20:47.180 said America may soon be subjected to the country's first DEI president, Kamala Harris. Gavin Newsom,

00:20:52.720 Governor Patrick Bateman there of California, tweets out, number one, Joe Biden is our next

00:20:58.060 president. Number two, this is straight up racist. Straight up racist. How dare you say

00:21:03.620 that Kamala Harris is a DEI president, an affirmative action pick? How dare you say that? That she's only 1.00

00:21:11.700 in her position because of her sex and the color of her skin? Except I got an NPR article from June 12,

00:21:20.320 2020. Pressure grows on Joe Biden to pick a black woman as his running mate.

00:21:26.860 Now, we've got here CBS News. This is April 27, 2020. Women of color are the core Biden challenged 1.00

00:21:33.440 to pick a black woman as running mate. Washington Post, August 10, 2020. Joe Biden pressed again

00:21:39.420 to name a black woman as his running mate. Kamala Harris was only picked to be Joe Biden's running mate 0.96

00:21:46.780 because she is a black woman, sort of a black woman. She's actually half Indian and half Jamaican, 0.97

00:21:51.420 and a lot of the Jamaican part is white. But anyway, she, according to the swatch test among 0.98

00:21:56.080 the Democrats, I guess she counts as a black woman. That's why she was picked. Don't take my word for 1.00

00:22:01.420 it. That's what the Democrats told us, Democrat politicians, Democrat activists, and the Democrat

00:22:06.040 media, including the news networks and the Washington Post and NPR and a lot of other places.

00:22:12.260 This is what Michael Anton over at Claremont Institute refers to as the celebration parallax.

00:22:18.480 The celebration parallax is when a political statement is true or false, depending upon

00:22:26.920 the perspective of the person observing it. So a leftist will get out there and say,

00:22:33.060 it is so wonderful that Joe Biden committed to picking a black woman. Doesn't matter. He didn't 0.77

00:22:37.380 say he's committed to picking Kamala Harris, just a black woman. This is so wonderful that he's committing

00:22:41.860 he will take out of the running 97% of people in America, but he's going to pick a black woman. 0.97

00:22:51.640 Is that 97%? No, I guess it would probably be 94%. In any case, he's going to pick this type of

00:22:57.440 that's so good. You say, I think it's bad that Joe Biden just immediately disqualified 94% of

00:23:02.740 Americans and he's just picking someone based on the color of her skin and her sex. He's not doing

00:23:07.800 that. What are you talking about? That's not true. It's only true if you're happy about it.

00:24:22.440 who overcame a difficult childhood to create a construction empire who is now most known not for

00:24:27.100 his construction stuff, but for his viral social media discussions, controversial discussions of

00:24:33.520 marriage, masculinity, and politics. Check out the teaser. 0.99

00:24:36.680 I grew up very poor, South Louisiana, in and out of trailer parks, 11 custody court battles,

00:24:43.640 violence, two house fires, no understanding of finance or wealth, and build the life that I want.

00:24:50.800 If you don't think you're going to go bankrupt about every four years, you're not doing shit anyway.

00:24:55.040 Obviously, you've had this great career. People don't really know you from that. People know you

00:24:58.640 from going on YouTube and other platforms and giving advice to young men. Are you married now?

00:25:02.780 I would never bring the state into my affairs. I don't chase women, Michael. I absorb them. I love

00:25:08.000 women. Let me be very clear about this. But? And in fact, I have quite the reputation for loving

00:25:13.040 them a bit too. And my wife helps, by the way. Wait, your wife helps? We got girlfriends, G. 0.88

00:25:18.720 Really? Yeah, man. I am not promoting this. I guess that, to me, that's the most interesting

00:25:23.620 thing you're saying. I am not. If it's good for you, why is it not good for some other guy?

00:25:34.840 Very controversial stuff. Some people absolutely love Justin. Some people don't quite love him that

00:25:41.200 much. In any case, you can watch our very long and thorough conversation right now over at the

00:25:55.140 Speaking of inclusion, the New York Times has just run a piece of blatant anti-Christian bigotry.

00:26:04.120 Specifically, anti-Catholic bigotry, not even so much in the text of the article, but in the picture

00:26:10.340 that they chose, they chose this picture, which is an image of Our Lady, of Mary. And instead of her

00:26:16.880 showing her immaculate heart, she's showing an American flag. And the headline is, your values

00:26:21.540 are not American values. So the image is specifically anti-Catholic. But then the text of it is just

00:26:28.860 broadly anti-Christian. It's written by some woman named Pamela Paul. And I'll just give you a little

00:26:35.980 taste of the article. Because it tells you a lot about our journalist class. Whenever a politician

00:26:42.700 cites Judeo-Christian values, this is how the piece begins, I find it's generally followed by something

00:26:48.080 unsettling. Last month brought two flagrant instances. Ryan Walters, Oklahoma's superintendent

00:26:54.160 of public instruction, said learning the Bible is necessary to having an understanding of the basis of our

00:27:00.900 legal system. Forgive me for wondering, is he referring to an eye for an eye or the stoning of

00:27:07.180 disobedient children? Okay, I'm going to pause right here. Even if you're the biggest Reddit tier

00:27:13.560 fedora tipping neckbeard atheist in the entire world, can you really dispute that the Bible is an important

00:27:22.940 book? It's an important book to understanding our law, our history, our culture. Perhaps you would say

00:27:30.400 the most important book ever written. Even if you don't believe it, even if you think it's false or

00:27:36.000 if you think it's bad, it is the book that has shaped our entire civilization. She denies this.

00:27:43.840 This writer in the New York Times seems to deny this. And then, speaking of Reddit tier neckbeard

00:27:49.680 fedora tipping atheism, says, oh, forgive me for wondering, does he think that an eye for an eye

00:27:54.600 is a great basis for our legal system or maybe the stoning of disobedient children?

00:28:00.280 So, first of all, there is a distinction understood from the Christian perspective between

00:28:06.480 the different types of laws in the Old Testament, some laws being juridical, some laws being liturgical,

00:28:14.860 some laws being moral. And the fullness of the prefigurations of Christ in the Old Testament

00:28:23.940 come about at the Incarnation. And this transforms our understanding of God and ourselves and our place

00:28:30.240 in the cosmos. And it doesn't abolish the law, not a jot or tittle, but it does fulfill the law.

00:28:36.180 And that's a conversation that this woman is not even close to being ready for.

00:28:39.760 But even just use this first one, an eye for an eye. An eye for an eye has been the basis,

00:28:48.280 not only of a legal system in Christian civilization, but I don't know, like Hammurabi's code. I don't

00:28:54.860 know, the notion that one must be punished in a way that is commensurate with the crime committed.

00:29:01.140 Yeah, that is at least a basic intuition of justice, even if it doesn't tell you the whole story,

00:29:06.060 even if there's much more to say about it. She goes on.

00:29:10.680 Their goal, these Christians, is to impose one form of religion, Christianity. And the underlying 1.00

00:29:16.020 message is that those who do not share it will have to submit. Despite what the Christian 0.97

00:29:22.020 nationalist movement would have you believe, America was not founded as a Christian nation,

00:29:25.020 nor is it one today. In a pluralistic country, neither the Bible nor Judeo-Christian values 0.88

00:29:29.000 are universal, including in the two heavily Christian southern states in which these laws

00:29:33.120 were passed. Put a pause right here. The Christian's goal is to impose Christianity, 0.99

00:29:38.000 and those who don't share that view will have to submit. We just concluded Pride Month. And during

00:29:42.280 Pride Month, a particular and dubious moral and ethical system was shoved down the throats of

00:29:49.260 everyone, including elementary school children. And Pride flags were raised in public buildings,

00:29:53.800 in schools, painted on sidewalks. And if you don't go along with it, you will be punished for that.

00:30:01.020 You'll be punished in your workplace. You'll be punished in school. Who knows? You might be

00:30:04.200 prosecuted. If you burn an American flag, you probably won't be prosecuted. If you burn a Pride 0.92

00:30:07.580 flag, see what happens when the cops come knocking on your door.

00:30:10.480 I'll get to the rest of it in just a moment, because there's so much nonsense in here. I don't

00:30:19.520 want to miss it. She says, America is not founded as a Christian nation. Again, you don't need a PhD

00:30:27.960 in American history to recognize that, well, beginning with Christopher Columbus, Christopher

00:30:33.620 Columbus came and discovered the Americas in an effort to fund a new crusade so devout a Christian was he.

00:30:40.120 Then, let's fast forward a little bit to 1620. The pilgrims who founded Plymouth Colony and were

00:30:46.320 some of the very first Americans, and in the American self-understanding, really are the people

00:30:51.560 who planted the seeds for what would become the United States of America. The pilgrims were

00:30:55.580 extreme religious zealots whose holiday is called Thanksgiving. Who were they giving thanks to?

00:31:03.000 I'll give you a hint. It was God, and it is their version, their understanding of the Christian God. 0.69

00:31:06.840 Even the founding fathers, many of whom were deists, many of whom were Enlightenment-influenced

00:31:13.080 thinkers who were far from Orthodox Christians, even they acknowledged that America is a Christian

00:31:18.220 country. John Adams, who sometimes is cited as being evidence that America is not a Christian

00:31:23.240 country because he signed the Treaty of Tripoli, which to get Muslim pirates to stop imprisoning 0.96

00:31:27.700 and enslaving American sailors in a diplomatic treaty, he said America is not a Christian country.

00:31:32.580 But, and that was a treaty actually negotiated by a Jeffersonian diplomat, but that's also a story

00:31:38.580 for another time. John Adams said explicitly, we don't need to wonder about what he thought from

00:31:44.080 the esoteric readings of a diplomatic document. He said, the general principles on which the

00:31:50.460 revolution was fought and independence was achieved are the general principles of Christianity.

00:31:54.700 John Jay, another founding father and author of The Federalist, first chief justice of the Supreme

00:31:58.860 Court, said, thank God that America is a Christian country founded by Christians. I hope we always

00:32:05.820 remain this way. I'm paraphrasing somewhat. Beyond the founding fathers, the national anthem written

00:32:10.540 in the early 19th century says this, and thus be it ever when free men shall stand between our loved

00:32:15.560 home and the war's desolation. Conquer we must when our cause it is just, and this be our motto,

00:32:19.300 in God is our trust. That wasn't written in the 20th century. That was written in the early 19th

00:32:23.940 century, before the Civil War even. It said, this be our motto in America, in our national anthem,

00:32:28.360 in God is our trust. Abraham Lincoln, Abraham Lincoln's speeches, the second inaugural Gettysburg

00:32:33.880 address, used language straight out of the King James Bible. Then, in God we trust is added to our

00:32:40.620 currency and into the Pledge of Allegiance in the 20th century, and on and on and on. I'm just giving

00:32:46.340 you a few examples to show you that threat all of American history, we have recognized that America 0.89

00:32:51.140 is, broadly speaking, a Christian country. So the first thing that strikes me, and this thing goes

00:32:56.660 on, but the first thing that strikes me about this New York Times piece is the ignorance. This woman 0.98

00:33:01.540 just has no idea what she's talking about. But the second thing that strikes me is the obliviousness.

00:33:07.300 When she says they want to make you submit to their beliefs, yeah, lady, you just finished Pride

00:33:11.500 Month. You demand that we submit to your beliefs, not just on Pride, but on all of liberalism,

00:33:16.640 even on the rejection of Christianity in American public life. That is a liberal demand, and it's 0.88

00:33:22.340 a totalitarian demand. You're demanding that we, Christians, give up our beliefs to buy into your

00:33:28.780 nonsense ideology. And you are far more authoritarian in your assistance upon that than any Christians 1.00

00:33:35.020 are in America. Then here's the kicker. While most of the Ten Commandments involve universal principles

00:33:40.520 and moral precepts can be found in the Bible, not everyone draws ethical guidelines from religion.

00:33:44.940 And when the Ten Commandments say, thou shalt have no other gods before me, the implication

00:33:48.620 is there is one true God. That is decidedly not true for all Americans, line by line. While most 0.66

00:33:54.520 of the Ten Commandments involve universal principles, what makes a universal principle? Notice she gets it 1.00

00:34:02.560 backwards. I think good evidence that a principle is universal is that it's in the Ten Commandments

00:34:09.160 because those come from God himself. She thinks it goes the other way around. Well, no, we just,

00:34:17.420 we know the universal principles, and maybe some of Christianity fits into that.

00:34:22.380 Well, okay, where do you get your universal principles from? Well, she's maybe deduced those

00:34:27.660 principles from reason. You know, okay, I believe in that. I'm a natural law guy. I believe that the

00:34:32.920 natural law is inscribed on every human heart, and that we can know universal moral truths through reason.

00:34:38.040 We can know the existence of God with certainty from human reason. How do you know your reason is

00:34:43.740 reliable? How do you know that? Why can you trust what your reason says in as much as you trust it?

00:34:53.200 The only way that that's possible is if the universe is intelligible, and if there is an

00:34:58.360 intelligence which created the universe, and if you have some of that intelligence, if, in other words,

00:35:03.220 you are made in the image and likeness of God, to trust your own reason to come to certain

00:35:09.420 conclusions about universal moral principles or whatever implies, whether you want to admit it

00:35:14.560 or not, that you believe in God. And to attack Christianity for saying, and Judaism for saying,

00:35:23.640 thou shalt have no other gods before me, the implication is that there's one true God. Well,

00:35:27.400 yeah, I mean, if there's such a thing as God at all, which there necessarily must be,

00:35:32.880 then there will be a true God, and there will be lots of false gods, because we can distinguish

00:35:38.500 between truth and falsehood. Using our reason, that's how you supposedly came to your universal

00:35:41.980 principles, lady. And she obviously believes that there is one true God for her. It's the one true

00:35:47.820 God of liberalism, which is really just the worship of the self. She's saying that. She's saying,

00:35:53.440 Christians, your God is false. My liberal God is true. And you will bow down before my liberal God, 0.97

00:35:58.260 and you will shut up and get out of public life. That's what she's saying. There's one true God that

00:36:04.100 is decidedly not true for all Americans. No, you're saying that all Americans should worship

00:36:08.580 only the self. But the problem with that is then you have a lot of different little gods,

00:36:13.800 and you're all very jealous gods, all of you individuals. And so you're going to impose

00:36:19.740 your irrational will on everybody by telling Christians to shut up in public life. Your

00:36:25.740 religious values are not American values. Forgive them, Father. They know not what they do. 1.00

00:36:32.600 The ignorance is striking because 50 to 60 or 70 years ago, a grade school child would

00:36:40.920 understand the basic aspects of American history that this New York Times journalist denies.

00:36:46.480 But it's the obliviousness. What she invades against as being authoritarian and infringing on

00:36:54.540 the religious rights of others in Christianity, she herself is imposing in a far more authoritarian and

00:37:00.140 irrational way. They just, they don't even know. Yes, the journalists lie. Yes, the journalists are

00:37:10.160 corrupt and deceptive. But they're also just so ignorant and oblivious. If you ever attempted to

00:37:17.880 give them credit, you do not have to do it. Now, speaking of anathematizing normal things,

00:37:23.460 the New Republic, a liberal journal, once prestigious liberal magazine, has come out with a new line of

00:37:30.580 attack against Trump. That's an old line of attack against Trump, but this is going to change it.

00:37:34.220 Trump, they argue, is Hitler. We'll get to that in one moment. First, though, folks, let's talk about

00:37:42.360 something every man needs in his grooming arsenal. That is a razor that actually works.

00:38:11.980 Head over to Amazon right now, grab one of their best-selling razors, and find more great Jeremy's

00:38:17.460 products. My favorite comment yesterday is from GT50093, who says, my Mexican wife just bought

00:38:23.960 our daughter a snow-white costume, and I keep accidentally referring to her as sand beige.

00:38:29.140 Thank you, Michael. Thank you very much. I thought that was one of my funnier lines, too. I'm glad.

00:38:33.340 I'm glad you appreciate it, and I hope your daughter has a nice time in the costume.

00:38:37.080 Speaking of anathematizing all these normal things, the New Republic is saying that Trump

00:38:42.800 is Hitler. This is their new cover. It's Trump with a short haircut and a Hitler mustache. Wow.

00:38:51.680 Wow. That's really making me think of Trump in a new and exciting way. American fascism. What would

00:38:56.980 it look like? Written by, it's this whole big feature, Ruth Ben-Ghiat, Rosa Brooks, Maureen

00:39:02.320 Corrigan, Federico Finkelstein, and Emmanuel Guarizoli, Francisco Goldman. I don't recognize

00:39:08.660 any of these names until I get to the third line. Jason Stanley, I think, is some goofball

00:39:12.900 from Yale who mostly just goes on liberal networks and, you know, shouts about the orange

00:39:17.360 man. And Brian Stelter, okay. And then another person I've never heard of, Kian

00:39:21.140 Tajbox. This is it. American. Trump is Hitler. American fascism. What would it look like?

00:39:29.640 And then there's this long explanation.

00:39:33.620 We chose the cover image based on a well-known 1932 Hitler campaign poster for a precise reason

00:39:38.800 that anyone transported back to 1932 Germany could very, very easily have explained away

00:39:43.200 Herr Hitler's excesses and been persuaded that his critics were going overboard. It's a whole 0.87

00:39:49.220 long explanation for why the New Republic is engaging in the lowest form of political commentary

00:39:56.400 possible. But I'll give you the short explanation of why they're doing this.

00:40:02.520 Because they want to kill him and they're fine with killing you too. That's why. And I,

00:40:10.340 unlike the New Republic, am not being irresponsible with my rhetoric or, you know, being hyperbolic or

00:40:16.680 cheap or anything like that. That's the reason to call Trump Hitler. The reason to call Trump Hitler

00:40:21.780 beyond the ease with which that kind of comparison is bandied about is because, according to the modern

00:40:30.800 liberal ideology, anything justifies, stopping Hitler rather, justifies doing anything,

00:40:39.240 including killing a baby. Do you remember if maybe five or six years ago now, Ben Shapiro spoke at the

00:40:47.100 March for Life and he was asked some question about killing baby Hitler. And he said, no, I wouldn't

00:40:51.260 kill baby Hitler because baby Hitler is a baby. You know, he hadn't done anything wrong yet and it's 0.90

00:40:55.200 wrong to murder babies. And this became a big national debate. He trended all over social media. You hear

00:40:59.760 this all the time. Jeb Bush was asked this, would you kill baby Hitler? Because according to the old,

00:41:06.320 the old view, which I think is ever ancient, ever new and remains true, Christianity. In Christianity, 0.51

00:41:12.100 there's the incarnation of absolute good in the person of Jesus Christ. And evil is merely a privation

00:41:19.680 of the good. In modern liberalism, I'm not the first to observe this. I think maybe Nick Land had

00:41:27.080 observed this. I kind of, I've been thinking about it at least for a while, but I'm sure I heard the

00:41:31.740 first part of it from someone. It's, it's so obvious. Modern liberalism does not believe in

00:41:38.540 the incarnation of absolute good. It denies the incarnation of absolute good. It actually,

00:41:43.480 modern liberalism inverts Christianity as it does at just about every turn. It's a caricature, 0.96

00:41:48.780 a parody of Christianity. So in modern liberalism, there's no incarnation of, of good. There's the

00:41:53.760 incarnation of absolute evil in the person of, of the mustachioed Austrian painter, you know,

00:41:59.600 the person of Hitler. And, and it's not that evil is the privation of the good. It's that good is 0.67

00:42:06.400 the privation of evil, that good is the distance away from evil. This is why in modern liberal

00:42:12.380 politics, everyone is just trying to be the furthest thing from a Nazi. That's the, probably

00:42:16.860 the one thing that the left and the right agrees on is that they themselves are not Nazis. The other

00:42:22.520 guy is the Nazi. No, you're the real Nazi. No, you're the real Nazi. That's, that's how it works. 0.51

00:42:27.400 So it, the worst thing that one can possibly be in public life is Hitler, is a, is a Nazi 0.80

00:42:37.420 or a racist or, you know, kind of the, the wickedness dissipates the further you get away,

00:42:43.680 but it's all, it's all variations on the same tune. Whereas in Christianity, the Christian seeks

00:42:50.380 to imitate Christ and the imitatio Christi. In modern liberalism, the, the, the imitation is,

00:42:55.040 is to be the opposite of Hitler, the opposite of a Nazi. And so in Christianity, there are, 0.77

00:43:03.880 there's a moral order that we cannot violate. You can't, you can't kill even baby Hitler in, 0.91

00:43:10.140 in Christianity, but in modern liberalism, all the ends justify the means. We have a consequentialist

00:43:15.340 view of morality. And if you've got, if you've got the specter of absolute evil incarnate, well,

00:43:20.540 you've got to do anything to stop him. The, the new Republic cover is about killing Trump. That's

00:43:24.780 what it's about. We couldn't, we couldn't out poll him this cycle. We can't rig the election. We can't

00:43:31.180 change all the rules. We can't shut the country down. We, we might not even be able to imprison him.

00:43:35.000 You got to kill the guy. That's it. Tell me the alternative, please. I'm all ears,

00:43:41.820 libs, libs. What else could this mean? Either it means that, you know, if, if Hitler were rising to

00:43:50.160 power, you shouldn't do anything you could to stop him. Or it means kill Trump and by association,

00:43:57.000 kill Trump supporters. That's what it's really about. The fact that the new Republic realized

00:44:01.920 they had to justify this extremely goofy and also dangerous cover with endless lines of gobbledygook

00:44:10.940 tells you they recognize they're, they're doing something here that is pretty dangerous. Now,

00:44:16.280 speaking of killing a governor candidate in North Carolina, uh, who is the current Lieutenant

00:44:22.400 Governor Mark Robinson has just gotten big trouble, big headlines, wild, crazy rant, because

00:44:28.120 this gubernatorial candidate said that some people need killing. You know, it was a time when we used to

00:44:34.320 meet evil on the battlefield. And guess what we did to it? We killed it. We didn't quibble about it. We

00:44:41.580 didn't argue about it. We didn't fight about it. We killed it. When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, 0.97

00:44:47.760 what did we do? We flew to Japan and we killed the Japanese army and Navy. We didn't even quibble about it. 0.99

00:44:55.740 I didn't start this fight. You did. You wanted to be left alone. You should have left me alone.

00:45:02.460 We didn't argue and capitulate and talk about, well, maybe we shouldn't fight the Nazis that hard. 0.71

00:45:07.000 No, they're bad. Kill them. 0.93

00:45:11.300 Some liberal somewhere is going to say that sounds awful. Too bad.

00:45:15.020 Get mad at me if you want to. Some folks need killing. 1.00

00:45:28.400 It's time for somebody to say it. It's not a matter of vengeance. It's not a matter of being mean or

00:45:35.260 spiteful. It's a matter of necessity. Everything he just said is true. Everything he just said is true.

00:45:44.700 I'm shocked. I should be shocked by these headlines. Mediaite left-wing outlet. Some folks need

00:45:51.340 killing. NCGOP governor nominee delivers wild rant in speech at church. What single thing did he say

00:45:59.320 that was not correct? We shouldn't have killed the Nazis? I don't know. Hey, mediaite, you got to

00:46:05.740 talk to the new republic over there. We shouldn't have at the very least fought the Japanese who 1.00

00:46:11.100 attacked us and killed our, he goes even for, he's, he's not even calling for a vengeful or,

00:46:19.520 or retributive killing. Certainly not for private killing. He's talking about killing from the civil 0.51

00:46:24.360 authority, but he's not even talking about it from the perspective of retribution. He's saying

00:46:28.340 sometimes it is a necessity to protect ourselves. You know, we have to do, that's

00:46:33.740 like the basis of government. Why do we have such a thing as law enforcement? It's to protect

00:46:40.700 the community and the common good of the community from bad people who are going to attack us.

00:46:45.880 And the left doesn't disagree. I'll prove to you that the left does not disagree that in principle,

00:46:52.000 some people need killing. The left is gleeful about killing little babies and the elderly and

00:46:58.240 the handicapped. In fact, they, they demand the ability to kill these people as some kind of a 1.00

00:47:04.400 human right. They'll say, oh, the baby, the baby who's not wanted, who's the product of an unexpected

00:47:10.240 pregnancy, that baby, it's, it is very important that that baby be killed through abortion. The mother 1.00

00:47:15.740 needs that in order to have the fullness of her liberation and her womanhood. She needs to be able 0.75

00:47:20.500 to kill her baby. Oh, the, the elderly, it's, it, they need to be put down. They need euthanasia, 1.00

00:47:27.780 a ridiculous euphemism. We, they need it. That's the humane and moral thing to do. Oh,

00:47:33.060 the handicapped people, they might suffer. It is necessary that they be killed. So that's the 1.00

00:47:38.140 difference. The conservatives believe that some people need killing and those people are Nazis and

00:47:43.320 kamikaze pilots and rapists and murderers. The libs believe that some people need killing and it's

00:47:48.360 babies and the elderly and the handicapped. Not one person disagrees that some people need killing. 1.00

00:47:53.640 The question is who? And, and, and then the question is which side of that moral debate are
