Transcript

00:00:00.000 President Trump has named his pick for treasury secretary, one of the most important roles in
00:00:04.360 the government, and it is a homosexual former Democrat donor who worked for George Soros.
00:00:12.180 Wait, what? What was that? Actually, maybe the craziest part of it all

00:02:14.200 slash K-A-N-O-W-L-E-S. All right, before I get to MSNBC, before I get to the Treasury Secretary
00:02:20.540 pick, before I get to all the news, there's a pick that really came out of left field.
00:02:26.140 President Trump has named his Surgeon General, and the woman that he's named to be Surgeon General
00:02:32.340 is a woman who is a Fox News contributor, and she is most famous for pushing masks on kids and
00:02:42.360 defending social media censorship of so-called COVID disinformation, most of which turned out
00:02:48.460 to be correct information. And the actual disinformation was coming from the public
00:02:52.960 health authorities. This woman, Jeanette Neshawatt.
00:02:58.020 And what it is now, COVID, you know, this new Delta variant hits right before school starts,
00:03:02.720 and our top priority should be getting kids back into the classroom, but doing so safely.
00:03:07.800 Here's the problem. Delta is different, and that's why the American Academy of Pediatrics
00:03:12.640 is recommending that if you're going to be in a classroom, in a crowded classroom,
00:03:16.980 then you want to protect yourself, wear a mask, because a lot of kids, for example, under the
00:03:21.400 age of 12, they can't be vaccinated. So it's important to point out, though, masking is not
00:03:26.460 the only solution. We also need to make sure that we have good ventilation, that people are washing
00:03:30.540 their hands, that they're getting tested, and that all the teachers are getting vaccinated as well.
00:03:35.240 But what's happening is this new Delta variant, it replicates more easily, and it's more contagious.
00:03:42.140 You can have up to 1,000 times more viral particles, so kids can pick it up. Even though
00:03:46.420 they may not have severe symptoms, they can spread it to another person. And when it spreads is when
00:03:52.220 the virus mutates, and that's when we get more variants like Delta and Lambda and the UK variant.
00:03:57.760 Okay, I hope that this episode of my show isn't taken down for all of the misinformation that
00:04:03.240 that woman was just spreading there. Notice she says it was the Delta variant that she was talking
00:04:08.700 about. So this is well into the whole COVID epidemic. This is well into the point when people
00:04:16.160 who had functioning faculties of reason knew that the masks didn't really do anything to stop the
00:04:22.120 spread of the virus, knew that the masks didn't really do anything to reduce the seriousness of the
00:04:28.900 virus. This was well after we knew that kids weren't really all that affected by the virus.
00:04:33.920 This is crazy stuff, advocating for masking, mandatory masking of the kids all the way into COVID.
00:04:42.200 That's just completely insane. And then what's perhaps even more egregious, she went on Fox News
00:04:48.060 and defended the big tech companies, the left-wing big tech companies, who were censoring conservatives
00:04:55.180 using the excuse of so-called COVID misinformation.
00:05:00.560 First of all, vaccines save lives. And I am so excited and I thank and I commend Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg
00:05:07.160 for taking action because this affects everyone. This affects our children. It affects adults.
00:05:12.760 I mean, just look at the recent measles outbreak, the biggest outbreak that we've had in decades
00:05:17.200 with measles. And that's no joke. Measles can cause brain inflammation and pneumonia
00:05:22.280 and ear infections and hearing loss and death. So it's about time that they are taking action.
00:05:27.440 And I hope and pray that other social media platforms will follow suit and do the same thing.
00:05:32.560 Okay. So now, so our surge in general pick is one who spreads a bunch of false information about the
00:05:40.340 most significant public health crisis of the last 20 years. And then who defends leftist companies for
00:05:46.340 censoring conservatives based on sometimes often false premises? Ooh, yikes, man, that's bad.
00:05:53.200 Now, you might say, well, look, it's the surge in general. Who cares? It's a trivial post. It is a
00:05:58.600 relatively trivial post. That's why there's a good chance President Trump was barely, if at all,
00:06:02.780 involved in this pick. You know, there are a lot of people he's got to fill up in the government.
00:06:06.560 I could see President Trump being a little bit more focused on the Treasury sector and the Secretary of
00:06:09.980 State on the Secretary of Defense than on, say, the surge in general.
00:06:13.280 But it really matters, actually, that this woman was wrong about so many things on television,
00:06:18.920 because the job of the surge in general is not to perform surgery. It's not like he's the
00:06:23.520 president's physician or she is the president's physician. The surge in general is a spokesman for
00:06:28.820 public health, the chief spokesman for public health in the country. So really, the only
00:06:34.060 qualification for being the surge in general is to have a little bit of credibility, a little ethos in
00:06:38.500 public health and to get the information right and to be able to present it in a way that is
00:06:43.620 persuasive but accurate. And this woman completely failed on those fronts during the biggest test
00:06:49.100 of our lifetime. So no knock on Trump. He's got a lot of jobs to fill up. I'm not even sure he was
00:06:54.560 involved in picking this person, but this is a huge L. Bad pick. She should be replaced. This is just
00:07:01.480 crazy. Now, getting to another unexpected pick, who I think actually could be pretty good,
00:07:05.500 we get to the Treasury Secretary. And this is one of the biggest roles in the government.
00:07:10.860 The person that President Trump has picked is Scott Besant. This guy is a billionaire. He is a
00:07:19.120 former employee of George Soros. He is openly homosexual. He is his partner is a New York City
00:07:27.660 prosecutor. Probably a lot of people did not have this on their bingo card. However, in this case,
00:07:33.900 I think Besant is probably a pretty good choice. He is pro-tariff. So he has come out there and
00:07:41.360 defended tariffs, which is the most prominent and unusual aspect of President Trump's economic
00:07:48.740 policy, but one on which he has campaigned for many years now and which might have helped push
00:07:52.560 him over the finish line, especially with some parts of American labor in 2024. He's pro-tariff,
00:07:58.580 but Wall Street also likes him. So you would expect Wall Street to hate the pro-tariff guy
00:08:05.020 because tariffs can harm some companies, especially companies that have nice cozy relationships with
00:08:11.400 the government. However, in this case, Wall Street seems to like him. He's pushing tariffs,
00:08:18.720 which means he would be willing to help any potential Trump war or trade policy, trade war,
00:08:26.040 not like not shooting guns kind of war, but any kind of trade war, any kind of more aggressive
00:08:30.880 negotiations with countries like China. All in all, I think it could be a pretty good pick because what
00:08:37.120 it tells me is Trump this time around is going to be exactly as unpredictable as Trump was the first
00:08:43.760 time around. And this was among his biggest political strengths, the unpredictability.
00:08:49.800 Trump talks like a dove on foreign policy, but then he picks John Bolton to be his national security
00:08:58.280 advisor. John Bolton, who is relatively belligerent and hawkish. Trump seems to be
00:09:06.160 very pro-tariff, but then maybe he picks some guys who Wall Street likes. Trump says he wants world peace,
00:09:13.680 then he drops the mother of all bombs in Syria. Trump threatens nuclear war with North Korea,
00:09:18.920 but then actually goes and meets with Kim Jong-un. He's unpredictable. And this story has been told
00:09:24.500 as to why Vladimir Putin did not further invade a country under Trump's watch. He invaded Georgia
00:09:30.160 under Bush's watch. He invented Crimea under Obama's watch. Under Trump, he just kind of chilled. Then he
00:09:34.340 further invaded into Ukraine on Biden's watch. Why? What is it about Trump? Trump said, if you invade
00:09:40.000 Ukraine, I'll hit Moscow with bombs. And even if Putin only thought there were a 5% chance that that was
00:09:45.400 really going to happen, you can't take that 5% risk. So this is, it's a zag for sure.
00:09:52.600 Billionaire, New York, homosexual, George Soros employee. It's weird for sure. But I think broadly,
00:09:58.280 actually, Besant is probably aligned with the Trump policy. He's obviously extremely intelligent
00:10:02.200 and accomplished. All in all, seems to me a pretty good pick. Then for attorney general,
00:10:06.440 Matt Gaetz is out. He has formally pulled out of that race. We'll get to what happens next for
00:10:11.320 Matt Gaetz in a moment. First, though, Trump installs Pam Bondi as his attorney general nominee.
00:10:17.780 And even CNN, even the legal analyst for CNN had to admit, this woman is eminently qualified.
00:10:24.200 Pam Bondi is, without a question, qualified to be attorney general. She's been a prosecutor
00:10:28.500 for 20 years in Florida. For eight of those, she was the attorney general of the state. That's a very big,
00:10:33.820 very complicated job. And that level of experience is
00:10:36.520 on par with or better than most United States attorneys general that we've seen over the past
00:10:41.720 50 years or so. On par with or better than most attorneys general that we've seen over the last
00:10:47.020 half century. I think that is right. So what does it mean? Why go through all these hoops? Why did we
00:10:53.080 go through the whole Matt Gaetz charade? There's so much more to say first, though. Go to jeremysrazors.com.

00:11:51.700 Nashville. And there's this great driver who has retired, unfortunately, but he's an older gentleman
00:11:58.440 who's worked as a lawyer. He's had a long career, and he does this kind of in his retirement. But he's
00:12:04.540 conservative and has really smart thoughts on politics. So I get into the car during the Gaetz
00:12:10.280 nomination, and he says, now I got a question here. Why is it that President Trump picked Matt Gaetz?
00:12:16.980 And I said, well, you tell me first before I give my view. He said, well, it seems to me Trump's a
00:12:22.360 pretty smart guy. He might be doing that sort of thing where you are negotiating, where you're
00:12:28.340 putting out a really provocative nominee to attract all of the attention and all of the controversy.
00:12:33.800 And that way, you can seem to concede by pulling him out, but then get through the person that you
00:12:38.860 really want. I said, you know, that was my take as well. Whether this is a conscious or unconscious
00:12:45.420 strategy, whether Trump is really gaming this all out in precision, or if he just has a good
00:12:51.340 political gut, I'm not really interested in that. What I care about is what is the effect of this?
00:12:57.300 The effect of this is Trump's AG nominee, Pam Bondi, who's eminently qualified, is going to
00:13:02.720 sail through confirmation. Would Trump's nominee have sailed through confirmation without the Gaetz
00:13:09.800 fake out? I don't know. I'm not convinced of that. It remains to be seen how hard the Democrats go
00:13:16.260 after Pete Hegsath, Tulsi Gabbard, and Bobby Kennedy, who are now the public enemies one, two, and three
00:13:22.900 for the Senate Democrats. But as of now, it seems to be working out well because Pam Bondi is certainly
00:13:28.620 going to get in. What happens next to Matt Gaetz? There's a rumor going around that Matt Gaetz is
00:13:32.380 going to serve in the next Congress. There's a rumor going around that Matt Gaetz only resigned
00:13:37.180 from this Congress. But in the next Congress, he'll be able to serve, and it will be as though
00:13:43.500 nothing happened. That is not true. Congressman Gaetz said in his resignation he does not intend to
00:13:49.300 serve in any Congress in the future. He's totally out. He is now on Cameo. Cameo is this app where you
00:13:58.200 can go on, and there are various notables and celebrities, and you can pay hundreds of dollars to
00:14:05.560 request a personalized video from them. Get it for your buddy's birthday, for a bachelor party,
00:14:10.140 get a pep talk, whatever. Matt Gaetz immediately, upon pulling out of the AG nomination process,
00:14:17.280 he joined Cameo. He initially was charging $250 a video. Now I think it's to over $500 a video,
00:14:23.080 which is good, Matt. Don't sell yourself short. I think that's very smart. If we're going to be
00:14:27.200 capitalistic here, I'm sure there's a pretty good demand for this. But the bio here says,
00:14:32.480 I served in Congress. Trump nominated me to be U.S. Attorney General. That didn't work out once I
00:14:37.040 fired the House Speaker. And that's it. So it seems to me that the pivot here is to media.
00:14:45.180 And this represents a broader shift in the way our political order works. The line between the media
00:14:52.860 and the politicians has gotten blurrier than it was. There previously was a relatively firm line
00:14:59.240 between the journalists and the politicians. Now, of course, the left never really respected
00:15:03.780 that line. And the journalists were all activists. And they were really the propaganda arm for the
00:15:08.660 politicians. They were much, much more closely enmeshed. For the conservatives, it was a little
00:15:13.820 more rigid. You had the magazines and the conservative journalist outlets. And you had the
00:15:19.260 elected politicians. Now I think people move in and out a little bit more. As journalism has come to
00:15:23.740 take on the shape of influencing. And as podcasting has overtaken cable news and traditional media,
00:15:30.740 it's a much more intimate environment. It's a much more personality-based kind of environment.
00:15:35.760 You're no longer subscribing to the Wall Street Journal. You are subscribing to the Michael Knowles
00:15:41.340 show or the Ben Shapiro show or the Matt Wall show. So it's much more personal. It bears greater
00:15:47.320 similarities to politicians. And in this case, I think Matt Gaetz is probably going to go out,
00:15:53.780 maybe make a little bit of money in the media, start a podcast. That seems to be what every
00:15:57.100 millennial white man in America is required by law to do at this point, is to have a podcast.
00:16:02.400 So he'll do that. Doesn't mean he won't ever be in elected office again. But people who are holding
00:16:06.800 out hope that he'll get some other position in the Trump administration or that he'll be in Congress
00:16:10.260 again or something, I think Gaetz is signaling he's not going to do that. Now, speaking of Congress,
00:16:16.240 Mr. McBride, Tim McBride is this Democrat from Delaware who identifies as a woman named Sarah.
00:16:24.000 Tim McBride is at the heart of a controversy right now because being the first trans-identifying member
00:16:32.380 of Congress, there's this open question, is he going to use the women's bathroom or the men's bathroom?
00:16:36.380 And it's a thorny issue, not just for the conservatives, but also for him, also for the
00:16:41.660 left. Because if Tim McBride does the right thing and does not force himself into the women's bathroom
00:16:47.500 over the objections of women, then he's admitting he's not really a woman. If he were really a woman,
00:16:52.360 he'd use the women's bathroom. And if he's not really a woman, it means that trans people,
00:16:58.080 quote unquote, are not really women, that you can't actually change your sex.
00:17:01.480 So by abstaining from, or refraining from entering into the women's bathroom,
00:17:08.860 Mr. McBride is conceding a lot. The left is conceding a lot. They're conceding that
00:17:12.520 transgenderism is a false ideology. On the flip side, if he enters into the women's bathroom,
00:17:20.400 there's going to be a huge uproar from women whose legitimate rights are being denied. Women who are now
00:17:26.260 told they can't have their own private spaces, they can't have any particular privileges or rights.
00:17:31.020 And you got Nancy Mace leading the charge. Nancy Mace, who is not a particularly conservative
00:17:35.420 Republican. So she's got some more liberal bona fides. She is a Republican and she's a victim
00:17:40.720 of rape. So she has a lot of credibility here to say, I do not want men in the bathroom when our
00:17:45.100 pants are down, when we're really vulnerable. So he's in a really tough position. And the way he is
00:17:50.360 reconciling this position, trying to get out of the spotlight here, is by lying. And few people have
00:17:58.340 caught this lie. Tim McBride is now insisting that he never intended to use the women's bathroom
00:18:07.380 on Capitol Hill. That this is all a non-traversy ginned up by those dastardly conservatives in media,
00:18:13.860 by your favorite podcast host, and by Nancy Mace on Capitol Hill. Nancy Mace, who really made this an
00:18:21.440 issue. He says, quote, everything was fine until some members of the small Republican conference
00:18:25.460 majority. I love small majority. That's a classic. It's like illegal alien, trans woman. It's a phrase
00:18:33.560 that contradicts itself. It's the small majority. No, no, it's a majority. Most people are part of the
00:18:39.700 Republican conference here. Everything was fine until some members of the small Republican conference
00:18:44.260 majority decided to get headlines and to manufacture a crisis. That's what McBride told CBS News.
00:18:51.440 He told CBS that he anticipated an effort, quote, to politicize my use of a restroom.
00:19:00.200 And he insisted that he had not intended to use the women's restrooms on Capitol Hill.
00:19:07.260 If anyone had thought to ask me about what I was planning on doing, I would have been happy to tell
00:19:12.480 them. But again, this is not an issue. This has never been an issue in this complex. So he's just
00:19:15.960 being unfairly persecuted. Why are they picking on this poor transvestite? He never even intended to
00:19:24.440 use the women's bathroom, except hold on a second here. Hold on a second. Just one day before giving
00:19:31.320 that statement to CBS News, Mr. McBride put out this statement on his social media platform. It's still up
00:19:37.180 there. I'm not here to fight about bathrooms. I'm here to fight for Delawareans and to bring down
00:19:43.160 costs facing families. Like all members, I will follow the rules as outlined by Speaker Johnson,
00:19:47.520 even if I disagree with them. Hold on. What's the rule he's talking about here? The rule is that this
00:19:52.960 guy's not allowed to use the women's bathroom. So his statement in response to that rule by the
00:19:58.820 Speaker of the House is that, okay, I won't enter into the women's bathroom, even if I disagree with
00:20:05.060 that decision. Okay, so he's saying he disagrees with it. Seems to be that he is expressing his
00:20:10.260 intention to use the women's bathroom. Otherwise, he would agree with the statement and the ruling.
00:20:14.760 But then one day later, he says, I never even intended to. It would appear as though Tim McBride's
00:20:20.460 intentions have transitioned, and they transitioned rather rapidly. So I've got some advice for Mr.
00:20:27.080 McBride here. First one is, I bet you act like a man and do the right thing and stop forcing
00:20:31.920 yourself into women's bathrooms over the objections of women who have legitimate rights,
00:20:35.700 some of whom have had the experience of being victimized by men who similarly did not respect
00:20:40.700 women's rights and private spaces. First of all, that's the first thing I would say.
00:20:45.580 The second thing I would say, though, this is a little bit of political advice to Mr. McBride
00:20:48.900 and to the people on his staff. If you are going to lie to the American people,
00:20:55.560 try to keep your story straight. That's it. I would recommend you don't lie to the American people.
00:21:02.040 But if you're going to lie to the American people on an issue when you're right at the
00:21:05.580 center of a controversy, try to keep your story straight within 24 hours. How about that?
00:21:10.600 24 hours prior. I totally disagree with this decision. It's absolutely outrageous.
00:21:15.060 Speaker Johnson won't let me force my way into a women's bathroom. 24 hours. I never even intended
00:21:20.100 to do that. Why? Why would you? You guys are just picking on me for no reason. I recommend
00:21:26.120 keep things straight. All right. That would be my broader advice. There's so much more to say.
00:21:32.680 First, though, go to PragerU.com. Is America headed in the right direction? A majority of
00:21:38.120 Zoomers support left-wing policies like open borders and socialism. If we do not reach them
00:21:42.920 and change their minds, the country we know and love will be lost forever. PragerU is the leading
00:21:47.120 nonprofit when it comes to influencing young people. Daily Wire has worked with PragerU for many,

00:22:51.980 even going to be permitted on YouTube today. Hillsdale Elementary School in New York
00:22:56.600 has implemented a gender curriculum in kindergarten. Hat tip here to libs of TikTok.
00:23:07.780 This is a school not far from where I grew up, Hastings on Hudson,
00:23:10.900 that has a gender at Hillsdale kindergarten. A short synopsis of the course and subject areas
00:23:17.520 of focus. Our gender curriculum focuses on Hillside's core value of respect and aims to
00:23:24.600 center discussions of gender identity. This is for grade level K. The vocabulary here that they list
00:23:33.780 out, cisgender, transgender, non-binary, the ASCA alignment mindsets, whatever that means,
00:23:40.440 sense of acceptance, respect, support, and inclusion for self and others in the school environment.
00:23:45.800 So this is a memo saying we will be enforcing transgender ideology in kindergarten. And the thing
00:23:54.700 is, they have to. They have to do it. When it comes to the transvestite on Capitol Hill,
00:24:05.060 the Democrats have to rally around this guy. In fact, there's a headline right here from the
00:24:08.500 Associated Press. Democrats rally behind first out transgender member of Congress to cry Republican
00:24:13.540 attacks. Here, all the way down in kindergarten, you've got this elementary school pushing to enforce
00:24:19.180 transgender ideology in kindergarten. And they have to do it. This is the part I think a lot of
00:24:23.760 conservatives even don't quite understand. Conservatives are looking at this. They're
00:24:27.840 saying, man, these Democrats just lost a landslide election in no small part because of things like
00:24:33.540 transgender ideology. Maybe not in themselves, but because they prove to most American voters that
00:24:39.000 the Democrats have lost the common sense. They can't even tell the difference between a man and a
00:24:42.780 woman. They probably don't have very good judgment. Why, after losing a landslide election,
00:24:47.860 would you double down on that issue that helped you lose? Why, after transiting the kids has been
00:24:55.300 such a big issue in this campaign, you hear people on the center left, guys like Joe Rogan, say, you
00:24:59.580 know what, man, I'm out. Okay, you're going to trans the kids. That's too much for me. Why, after all of
00:25:03.880 that, would you double down on transiting the kids in elementary school? The answer is because they
00:25:08.960 have to. They have to. If the Democrats don't let Tim McBride use the women's bathroom, or don't at least
00:25:15.320 fight to let Tim McBride use the women's bathroom, they're admitting transgenderism is fake. And if
00:25:20.120 transgenderism is fake, it's not just going to be fake for one person or two people. It's fake for
00:25:26.000 everyone. It means that human nature doesn't really work that way, and a man can't really become a
00:25:30.580 woman. And therefore, it wouldn't be helpful to anyone, including the people who identify that way.
00:25:36.360 In other words, not to put too fine a point on it, if the Democrats don't fight to let Tim McBride use
00:25:41.580 the ladies' room, then they will be admitting that for the good of society, and especially for the
00:25:46.140 good of the poor people who've fallen prey to this confusion, transgenderism must be eradicated from
00:25:49.720 public life entirely, the whole preposterous ideology at every level. Same thing is true for
00:25:54.240 the elementary schools. If the Democrats admit that it's wrong to trans the kids, if the Democrats admit
00:26:04.900 that transgenderism shouldn't be taught to kindergartners, then they're admitting that there
00:26:08.700 are at least some people for whom transgenderism isn't true. The whole point of schooling is you
00:26:13.240 teach kids true things. You pursue truth, you shape their minds and their disciplines and their habits
00:26:20.960 toward the truth, things that are conducive to their well-being. So if transgenderism is true,
00:26:27.080 why shouldn't we teach it in kindergarten? At the very least, if transgenderism is true,
00:26:31.140 and you've got a little boy in kindergarten who says that he's a little girl, you have to accept
00:26:38.900 him at his word. You have to encourage him to follow what you are claiming is his truth. And you
00:26:44.800 have to educate the students around that child about the supposed truth of transgenderism.
00:26:50.920 It has to go down to kindergarten. It has to go all the way to the ladies' room on Capitol Hill.
00:26:55.720 Because if it's not, if they admit, yeah, actually it's not, kindergartners can't be trans.
00:27:02.160 Well, I thought it was human nature. If they're not born this way, if it's not an aspect of human
00:27:06.580 nature, if it's not the way that human beings really work, then let's pull on that thread a
00:27:10.760 little bit more. If Tim McBride shouldn't use the ladies' room on Capitol Hill, maybe he shouldn't use
00:27:14.900 the ladies' room anywhere. And maybe that's because he's not a lady, and maybe that's because men can't
00:27:18.060 become ladies. And if men can't become ladies, maybe it's not a good idea to affirm people in their
00:27:22.680 delusions. We wouldn't tell an anorexic lady that she's a big fatty and go along with her starving
00:27:28.660 herself to death. Well, maybe we should just, and you pull that string, and the whole thing falls
00:27:33.620 apart. That's why they're desperately trying to defend it. But I think they're caught in a real
00:27:37.400 trap here. I think the people have gone on to this. I don't think it's going to help them in future
00:27:41.440 elections. Now, speaking of leftist institutions, where is it? I make one request of my producers today,
00:27:46.700 which is to bring me my briefcase, and they don't do it. I'm sitting here all alone,
00:27:51.240 which means I'm not going to be able to do my audition for MSNBC because my producers fell
00:27:57.660 asleep in the control room. Well, I'll at least tell you the story. Donald Trump Jr. was responding
00:28:04.440 to a tweet that said, Comcast is putting MSNBC up for sale. CNN just announced massive layoffs coming.
00:28:12.340 Maybe the new owners will figure out that lying nonstop to your audience is a lousy business model.
00:28:17.800 And so Don Jr. tweets out. He says, hey, Elon Musk, I have the funniest idea ever.
00:28:23.240 And what does Elon respond? Elon responds, how much does it cost?
00:28:30.360 Now, does this mean, is Elon seriously thinking about buying MSNBC? Actually, I think the story
00:28:36.620 here is that if Comcast is going to spin off MSNBC along with CNBC, E, Syfy, USA, Oxygen,
00:28:43.380 Golf Channel, Fandango, and Rotten Tomatoes, if they're going to spin it out into their own company,
00:28:47.360 I actually think it won't be able to go up for sale. However, if Elon buys MSNBC and
00:28:55.620 Elon and Don Jr., I don't know, they do something together on this, and you need a replacement for
00:29:02.600 Rachel Maddow, I'm just saying I know a guy. Maybe my audition would be a little bit more persuasive
00:29:09.160 if I had my lesbian glasses on right now. I do not. You can use your imagination
00:29:14.120 just putting it out there. Speaking of big shifts in communication, the Florida Surgeon General
00:29:22.120 has just come out and called to remove fluoride from the drinking water. This is going to seem
00:29:32.400 like a minor story to a lot of people. However, I think this is actually a pretty big story.
00:29:37.240 The Florida Surgeon General, Ladapo, I believe his name is, really serious guy. He was totally right
00:29:43.840 during COVID. And he is affirming that conservatives who many decades ago complained about the addition
00:29:53.360 of fluoride to the drinking water and were mocked as lunatics and freaks for doing so, that actually
00:29:59.280 maybe those guys had a point. This was actually a central plot point of Dr. Strangelove. Dr.
00:30:06.240 Strangelove. In this great Cold War movie, in which the right-wing military man was complaining,
00:30:14.680 was giving his paranoid monologue on how the communists are trying to control our precious
00:30:20.520 bodily fluids. I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination,
00:30:29.160 communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious
00:30:41.940 bodily fluids.
00:30:43.760 Oh, ha ha ha. Look at that crazy paranoid right-wing general. Tee hee hee. Well, turns out the crazy
00:30:52.700 right-wing caricature general in Dr. Strangelove appears to have been correct. That the precious
00:30:58.740 bodily fluids thing is referring to the fluoridization of water. And Dr. Ladapo says,
00:31:03.680 it is public health malpractice with the information that we have now to continue adding
00:31:08.700 fluoride to water. The reason for this is the possibility of excessive fluoride exposure causing
00:31:14.920 lower IQ levels and mental health issues among children. We now have a situation in which, what,
00:31:19.620 one in four young boys are diagnosed with some kind of learning disability. I'm not saying it's because
00:31:25.260 of the fluoride in water. I'm saying at the very least we can see a jump in learning problems among
00:31:32.480 little kids. So there's at least cause for some concern. In September, a recent federal judge in
00:31:39.580 San Francisco made a ruling against the EPA that stated that fluoride in drinking water at the current
00:31:44.020 recommended level of 0.7 milligrams per liter poses an unreasonable risk of hazard to child IQ because
00:31:49.860 there's not enough of a margin of safety between the hazard level and the exposure level added to
00:31:54.940 community drinking water. This is not just according to Dr. Ladapo. This is Dr. Ashley Malan,
00:32:01.280 assistant professor with the Department of Epidemiology at the University of Florida.
00:32:05.740 The scientific consensus now, the leading scientific experts admit that fluoride in drinking water at the
00:32:12.520 levels that we currently see it is dangerous, that we shouldn't have it. That all those cranks back in
00:32:20.940 the 1950s and 60s who complained about this, that actually they were right. And this reminds me of a
00:32:26.580 broader point. Forget about the water for a second. Forget about any particular political issue.
00:32:31.300 This reminds me of a great line from Cardinal Manning who says,
00:32:34.580 there is a day to come which will reverse the confident judgments of men. In that day,
00:32:41.000 the first shall be last and the last first. The wise in this world will be fools and the fools in
00:32:44.620 this world wise. The mad in this world will be the heirs of a better. Cardinal Manning, being a
00:32:48.980 cardinal, is speaking here eschatologically. He's speaking of ultimate religious matters. However, this is
00:32:58.200 true on smaller points along the way. This is a lesson that any basic political consultant or political
00:33:05.740 observer can learn. Opinion. Commonly accepted opinion can reverse and can reverse very quickly. This is further
00:33:15.560 proof of Fulton Sheen or sometimes it's attributed to Dean Inge's observation that if you marry the spirit of
00:33:25.620 this age, you will become a widow in the next. You're right. It's shifting. Six weeks ago, Trump was
00:33:33.940 Hitler and the people who supported him were white supremacists. Today, most Americans support Trump and
00:33:41.340 huge numbers of pretty much every single demographic in the country support Trump. Trump is now the
00:33:46.880 mainstream candidate. MAGA is now the mainstream. Two years ago, we were told the Democrats were the
00:33:54.040 party of science and the Republicans were the rubes who buried their head in the sand to oppose the
00:33:57.840 science. Now on science, everywhere from castrating little kids to poisoning our drinking water with
00:34:05.060 unsafe levels of fluoride, the Republicans are the party who are siding with science, with the latest and
00:34:12.280 most persuasive scientific discoveries. There is a day to come which will reverse the confident
00:34:17.000 judgments of men. You know, our Daily Wire Plus Black Friday sale is live. Get 50% off new annual

00:34:55.660 42-minute video explained in five minutes. Your name is now Michael Trolls. Now? Now that is my name?
00:35:01.540 You talk about now. Speaking of Dr. Strangelove, the Pentagon is now warning that North Korean troops
00:35:10.520 are expected to enter combat soon in the war between Russia and Ukraine. U.S. Defense Secretary
00:35:16.640 Lloyd Austin said over the weekend that thousands of North Korean troops currently stationed in Russia
00:35:21.960 are expected to enter combat against Ukraine soon. He said this during a visit to Fiji. He said around
00:35:29.060 10,000 North Korean soldiers are believed to be in Russia's Kursk region near the border with Ukraine,
00:35:34.320 where they are being integrated into Russian military formations because Russia's taken heavy
00:35:38.320 losses in the war. This was a surprising announcement to me. And the reason this was
00:35:41.380 a surprising announcement is because I've known for well over a month, maybe multiple months at
00:35:48.860 this point, that North Korean forces are currently fighting in the war. Perhaps I shouldn't say I know
00:35:54.260 with certainty. I've heard now for well over a month from sources who are in positions to know
00:35:59.760 that North Korean forces are already fighting in the war. The fact that the Pentagon is announcing this
00:36:07.900 as though it's news, really shocking to me. But I guess a lot of people didn't know that this was
00:36:13.700 happening. I've just heard about it a little bit through the grapevine because there are,
00:36:18.480 because Americans are fighting in this war too. And it's a reminder, I guess, for people who
00:36:25.280 have not heard this or been paying close attention, that this is already resembling a world war.
00:36:31.820 The war in Ukraine is a war between the United States and Russia. It always was. Russia's predicate
00:36:40.980 for invading Ukraine was that the US leading NATO had expanded beyond verbal agreements and promises
00:36:48.720 well into Russia's traditional sphere of influence. And that NATO is supposed to be a defensive alliance,
00:36:56.800 but it keeps expanding. And that NATO has taken actions that are actually militarily aggressive
00:37:02.200 or even preemptive, not merely defensive, not merely defending the members.
00:37:07.960 And so you might say, Vladimir Putin is a liar and an opportunist. He wants to rebuild the Soviet
00:37:11.940 Union. All of that is probably true. But it was a pretty strong predicate for going into Ukraine
00:37:17.480 because NATO had been expanding, because the US had been heavily involved in Ukrainian politics,
00:37:23.580 because the director of the CIA did arrive in Kiev two weeks after the Maidan revolution,
00:37:28.660 because Ukraine, having been a buffer state for a long time, was increasingly shifting toward the
00:37:35.660 West. And Russia didn't like that. And now the region is at war. Then you add on to that,
00:37:42.820 Joe Biden gives the okay for Ukraine to use American missiles to seriously escalate the war.
00:37:48.240 It's not as though Ukraine can just push a button and the missiles fire off.
00:37:50.900 The United States is very actively involved. The United States is the only reason Ukraine can
00:37:55.780 continue to fight because we're arming them and giving them a ton of money. So already you've got
00:38:00.560 two powers that fought a Cold War for 50 years. Those two powers are getting closer and closer to hot
00:38:10.200 combat. Then you add into that the fact that you've got North Korean troops coming in on the side of the
00:38:16.400 Russians. All of a sudden, this is beginning to resemble a world war. And you have top ranking
00:38:23.060 Ukrainian officials who are saying it already is a world war. Things can spin out of control very
00:38:28.960 quickly. And so Trump gets elected. People say, okay, good. We got the peace president back. We're
00:38:32.160 going to restore the world peace that we had in Trump's first term. Maybe two months is a long time.
00:38:37.280 And to quote Barack Obama, you should never underestimate Joe Biden's ability to screw
00:38:40.580 things up. I'm cleaning up Obama's statement. Speaking of violence, let's see why Elon and Don
00:38:47.420 Jr. have to buy MSNBC. Why it would be so funny for me to replace Rachel Maddow. The headline on MSNBC
00:38:52.940 following the trial of Laken Riley's killer, Laken Riley, that young American university student
00:38:59.660 who was murdered and nearly raped by an illegal alien and an illegal alien who found an open border,
00:39:06.560 a border that was open because the Democrats intentionally opened it. Here's the headline
00:39:11.580 from MSNBC. Laken Riley's killer never stood a chance. Laken Riley's killer never stood a chance
00:39:20.980 for all the political controversy surrounding Jose Ibarra. The outcome of this trial was never in
00:39:27.400 doubt. Now, mind you, the reason the outcome of this trial was never in doubt is because he murdered
00:39:30.920 this girl and tried to rape her. That's why. And we had such overwhelming evidence that there was no
00:39:36.040 doubt in anyone's mind. Who would you say is the victim here? The American university student who
00:39:44.140 was nearly raped and who was murdered by an illegal alien who had no right to be in this country or the
00:39:49.760 aforementioned illegal alien? Who would you say is the victim? Because the MSNBC headline portrays the
00:39:54.580 murderer as the victim, far for the course. He was found guilty on all charges. He was sentenced to life
00:40:00.420 in prison without the possibility of parole, which is fine, I guess. It seems like they could have
00:40:08.600 gone a little harsher, but okay. This girl fought for 18 minutes to stop this guy from raping her,
00:40:15.860 and then she killed him. He is a complete animal, truly a complete degenerate animal who has, to my
00:40:24.420 knowledge, expressed no remorse or repentance whatsoever, and happily will receive some modest
00:40:32.000 modicum of punishment here. But let this serve as a lesson, two lessons really. This is illegal
00:40:39.240 immigration. This guy is illegal immigration, and the media are on his side. MSNBC takes his side.
00:40:46.180 The Biden administration takes his side. That's why they opened the border for him.
00:40:49.080 The Democrats are responsible for Lake and Riley's murder and attempted rape. The Democrats are
00:40:56.180 responsible for that. That's not hyperbole. That is a fact. It's an inescapable fact. Democrats are
00:41:04.280 responsible for Lake and Riley's murder in a way that conservatives are generally not responsible
00:41:10.080 for negative and unintended consequences of our policies. And here's why.
00:41:16.660 Here is why the Democrats bear responsibility, and the Republicans don't.
00:41:23.860 Conservatives, as a rule, approach political issues from the standpoint of virtue ethics or
00:41:32.280 deontological ethics, from more traditional ethical frameworks that say that it is wrong to do something
00:41:38.240 that is evil or false or morally sus. Okay? So the Democrats do not. The Democrats take a more
00:41:47.900 consequentialist or utilitarian approach to ethics. So to bring that really down to earth,
00:41:53.980 the conservatives say it is not acceptable to commit evil actions to achieve good ends.
00:42:00.200 The leftists say the ends justify the means. As a matter of their actual, frequently, openly stated
00:42:08.860 ethical views. So for a conservative, it's perfectly possible that I could have good intentions,
00:42:15.820 I could make a correct moral calculation, but given the fallenness of this world, something goes awry
00:42:21.400 and some negative consequence happens. Someone dies, someone is injured, some bad thing happens.
00:42:25.880 I would not bear all that much responsibility for that fact. Because I am not attempting to calculate
00:42:33.480 all of the potential outcomes and recreate my own morality around the perfection of my reason and the
00:42:41.060 perfection of my will, my own omnipotence. Okay? I'm just trying to do the right thing, and sometimes
00:42:45.720 things go wrong. For the Democrats, the Democrats are actively cooperating with evil, the evil of ignoring
00:42:52.520 our immigration laws, the evil of permitting an invasion of our country, the evil of permitting
00:42:57.060 a mass poisoning of our country, the evil of letting rapists and murderers in, the evil of allowing
00:43:02.040 gangsters, in some case Satan-worshipping gangsters like MS-13, to control the southern border. They are
00:43:07.500 knowingly cooperating with that evil because they think it will achieve some good end. They think the
00:43:12.320 good end of, well, having a permanent electoral majority is really the end they're seeking, but also
00:43:16.580 the good end of allowing the poor Venezuelans to come to America and seek a better life. They're just
00:43:20.660 making that calculation. They're saying, we're going to do a little bit of evil, but it's going to
00:43:24.080 ultimately redound to the greater good. So it doesn't, first of all, but second of all, they
00:43:31.380 therefore bear responsibility for the evil that occurs, the evil like the near rape and the certain
