00:01:53.220 The Denver mayor, Mike Johnston, has suggested that he will use Denver police to stop federal

00:02:01.000 agents from enforcing immigration law.

00:02:03.860 He was asked what would happen when the feds come in to enforce the law and deport the illegal

00:02:08.640 aliens, many of whom are violent criminals who are here, obviously, by definition, illegally. 0.64

00:02:14.240 And he says, look, we're going to have Denver police waiting for them.

00:02:17.780 We're going to have Denver police stationed along, and then I'm going to encourage our

00:02:21.020 ordinary citizens to get out in the street and resist.

00:02:24.480 So the man is threatening more or less civil war if the federal government does what the

00:02:31.240 voters ask the federal government to do, which is pretty basic.

00:02:33.440 It's enforced the immigration laws. 0.56

00:02:34.800 Now, he's walked that back a little bit.

00:02:39.100 He realized that wasn't such a good look to threaten a literal insurrection after the

00:02:44.360 Democrats have been running on the perils of insurrection for years now.

00:02:47.540 So instead, he says, look, I am willing to go to jail if the federal government tries to

00:02:53.540 deport illegal aliens.

00:02:55.340 I would certainly protest it, and I would expect other residents would do the same.

00:02:59.040 Trump's new boarder czar, Tom Homan, has said that he is willing to arrest leaders like

00:03:05.760 yourself for standing in the way of these policies that they want to enact.

00:03:11.260 Would you be willing to go to jail for these things?

00:03:13.540 Yeah, I'm not afraid of that.

00:03:15.020 No, I'm not afraid of jail.

00:03:16.140 OK, so challenge made against the Trump administration.

00:03:19.680 What does Tom Homan, the deportation czar, have to say about the Denver mayor's threat

00:03:28.500 that he's willing to go to jail?

00:03:31.140 Yeah, absolutely breaking law.

00:03:32.580 All he has to do is look at Arizona versus U.S.

00:03:34.700 You'll see these breaking law.

00:03:36.100 But look, me and the Denver mayor, we agree on one thing.

00:03:38.980 He's willing to go to jail.

00:03:40.620 I'm willing to put him in jail because there's a statue.

00:03:43.960 It's Title 8 United States Code 1324, Triple I.

00:03:47.660 And what it says is, it's a felony if you knowingly harbor and conceal illegal alien

00:03:52.220 from immigration authorities.

00:03:53.960 It's also a felony to impede a federal law enforcement officer.

00:03:56.760 So if we don't want to help, that's fine.

00:03:58.480 He can get the hell out of the way.

00:03:59.700 But we're going to go do the job.

00:04:01.320 President Trump has a mandate for American people.

00:04:03.560 We've got to secure this country.

00:04:04.880 We've got to save American lives.

00:04:06.560 And I find it shocking that any mayor of a city would say, and President Trump's been

00:04:10.580 clear, we want to concentrate on public safety threats and national security threats.

00:04:13.960 I find it hard to believe that any mayor or governor would say they don't want public

00:04:17.340 safety threats removed from their neighborhoods.

00:04:19.420 I mean, I mean, I don't know what the hell is going on in Denver, but we're going to go

00:04:22.400 and we're going to fix it.

00:04:23.140 If you don't want to fix it, if you don't want to protect his communities, President Trump

00:04:26.500 and ICE will.

00:04:28.060 I love this guy.

00:04:29.020 Can we just make this guy the permanent deportation czar?

00:04:32.900 He says, look, we agree on one thing.

00:04:34.740 He's willing to go to jail.

00:04:35.720 I'm willing to send him to jail.

00:04:37.100 All right.

00:04:37.500 I guess that's good.

00:04:38.640 Is that called bipartisanship?

00:04:41.380 Is that called working across the aisle?

00:04:43.100 I think it is.

00:04:43.660 It's very simple.

00:04:44.300 Ronald Reagan said it well, and unfortunately, he wasn't able to fully live up to the potential

00:04:51.440 of this observation, in part because he had a Democrat Congress, in part because the illegal

00:04:56.100 immigration problem wasn't as pronounced as it is now.

00:04:58.480 But he had a simple observation.

00:05:00.220 Illegal immigration is illegal. 0.99

00:05:02.000 It's simple as that.

00:05:02.880 And if some two-bit mayor of some ever-increasingly failing city like Denver is going to try to

00:05:10.280 impede federal immigration authorities who have been given a massive mandate by the American

00:05:15.280 people, okay, good luck.

00:05:17.220 Send him to jail.

00:05:18.020 The libs have been threatening to send our top politicians to jail over nothing in recent years.

00:05:24.020 I think it's perfectly fine for the top immigration enforcement agents in the country to threaten

00:05:30.800 jail against two-bit Democrats who are actually breaking federal law.

00:05:36.940 Now, President Trump, of course, is moving full steam ahead.

00:05:41.000 And speaking of the Democrats trying to put him into jail, those efforts seem to have failed

00:05:46.080 for now.

00:05:47.360 The judge here has agreed to dismiss President Trump's 2020 election interference case.

00:05:52.600 This is news as of yesterday.

00:05:55.960 Jack Smith, you know, is a special prosecutor going after Trump on behalf of Joe Biden.

00:06:00.860 He, on Monday, filed a motion to dismiss that case as well as the classified documents case

00:06:07.280 ahead of President Trump's inauguration.

00:06:10.520 Why is that?

00:06:11.200 Why are the federal prosecutors and judges dropping two major federal cases against Trump?

00:06:16.940 Because of the DOJ's presidential immunity policy.

00:06:20.320 So you can't prosecute sitting presidents.

00:06:25.080 For all of American history, that has extended to past presidents, presidents who had already

00:06:30.880 served, who might be looking at another term in the future.

00:06:33.340 We just don't jail our presidents in this country.

00:06:36.000 We didn't until the Democrats tried to.

00:06:37.620 And now, because there is actual presidential immunity on the books, Jack Smith and the Dems

00:06:45.540 have to stop trying to imprison Trump for now, for now.

00:06:49.580 This is a reminder.

00:06:51.160 The only reason Trump is not going to jail is because he won.

00:06:55.960 The liberal media are even underscoring this.

00:06:59.440 They're saying it's only because of presidential immunity, not because the charges lacked merit.

00:07:03.080 However, the Democrats would currently be fighting to put this man in jail had he lost.

00:07:07.920 And they will continue to try to put him in jail after he leaves office.

00:07:12.780 I think conservatives, we want to have a normal country.

00:07:16.700 And so we get a little complacent.

00:07:18.040 Okay, woo, we were saved.

00:07:19.420 We almost had that horrid woman and all these crazy liberal policies packing the Supreme Court, 1.00

00:07:25.180 getting rid of the filibuster, imprisoning our political opponents.

00:07:28.960 But that didn't happen.

00:07:30.060 Okay, good.

00:07:31.180 Let's let bygones be bygones.

00:07:34.280 I hope that we can get to a place in the culture where we have justice restored,

00:07:38.280 where we don't need to worry about presidential candidates and former presidents being imprisoned.

00:07:43.400 But we're not there yet.

00:07:44.600 They want to put Trump in jail still.

00:07:47.000 The only thing that stopped them is the mandate from the American people.

00:07:49.600 So we need to reset our norms and our laws and our regulations to make sure that the Democrats cannot do what they obviously want to do when they have the chance.

00:07:59.080 Now, speaking of battles, a top NATO official is warning businesses to prepare for a wartime situation.

00:08:06.320 This is not even some low-level NATO staffer.

00:08:10.060 This is the chairman of NATO's military committee.

00:08:12.100 This is Dutch Admiral Rob Bauer, who says,

00:08:15.140 we're seeing that with the growing number of sabotage acts in Europe has seen that with the energy supply.

00:08:20.960 We thought we had a deal with Gazprom.

00:08:23.340 Gazprom, the Russian energy company.

00:08:25.180 We actually had a deal with Mr. Putin.

00:08:27.280 Same goes for Chinese-owned infrastructure and goods.

00:08:29.960 We actually have a deal with Xi Jinping.

00:08:32.940 We thought, the way we told ourselves in our liberal, globalist kind of language is,

00:08:37.740 Europe, the West, America has a deal, this kind of deal with China.

00:08:42.600 Or Europe has this kind of energy deal with Russia.

00:08:44.820 But no, it turns out the people who run those countries actually still have a say over how those countries are run.

00:08:51.500 It turns out that hard power politics still matter.

00:08:55.420 It turns out that America, that the world, rather, is not just run by technocrats.

00:08:59.540 That's imperfectly rational sorts of rules that don't have any human input into them.

00:09:04.300 No.

00:09:05.700 If Europe is at war with Russia, Russia is going to use Europe's energy dependence on Russia against Europe. 0.55

00:09:12.180 If China goes to war with the United States,

00:09:15.240 China is going to use America's dependence on Chinese manufacturing against the United States. 0.84

00:09:20.940 Bauer here noted Western dependencies on supplies from China.

00:09:24.340 60% of all rare earth materials are produced, and 90% of them are processed in China.

00:09:29.960 That's huge.

00:09:31.100 Said the chemical ingredients for sedatives, antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, and low blood pressure medicines also come from China.

00:09:37.920 So what's his conclusion?

00:09:40.280 He says, we are naive if we think the Communist Party will never use that power.

00:09:45.040 Yes, you're right.

00:09:46.420 I think a lot of people in the West were naive when the liberals in the West were cheering China's ascendants in the World Trade Organization.

00:09:54.380 When liberals in the West were, on the left and the right, frankly, you know, and the Democrats and the Republicans,

00:10:00.060 when they were cheering that the world was becoming flat, that China was growing.

00:10:04.040 They said a rising tide will lift all ships.

00:10:06.040 It's good.

00:10:06.400 It doesn't matter.

00:10:06.780 We don't need to manufacture anything here in America.

00:10:08.940 Let's have all those poor people with slave labor in China manufacture all of our goods, and then we'll get them for cheaper because we won't have to pay fair wages, 1.00

00:10:17.180 and then our GDP might tick up, and we'll be a much stronger country.

00:10:20.620 Don't worry.

00:10:21.400 They'll never use that for a strategic advantage against us.

00:10:24.160 Well, now, this is a NATO official saying business leaders in Europe and America need to realize that the commercial decisions they make have strategic consequences for the security of their nation.

00:10:35.400 Very true.

00:10:36.080 Furthermore, he says businesses need to be prepared for a wartime scenario and adjust their production and distribution lines accordingly.

00:10:43.380 As well, it may be the military that wins battles.

00:10:46.120 It's the economies that win wars.

00:10:48.500 This is good advice generally.

00:10:50.680 I think we all saw how clear this was in COVID when our supply chains got screwed up, and all of a sudden we didn't have anything anymore.

00:11:00.740 So it's a really, really important lesson.

00:11:03.300 One, it's also a final admission that globalism is a failed ideology.

00:11:09.840 Liberal globalism, the notion that national identities don't matter, national loyalties don't matter.

00:11:16.280 We're all just citizens of the world.

00:11:17.900 The notion that polities serve economies rather than the other way around.

00:11:22.780 The notion that it doesn't matter where our goods are manufactured.

00:11:25.620 The notion that we're all just one, kumbaya, that has failed.

00:11:30.820 And this is an admission that this failed.

00:11:32.580 Because the minute any kind of conflict breaks out, which is a recurrent and ineradicable theme in human life,

00:11:40.540 the minute that breaks out, those nations are going to reassert themselves.

00:11:44.480 Those national loyalties are going to reassert themselves.

00:11:46.680 And the dependencies that we have on other nations are going to become a big strategic problem.

00:11:52.280 Did you know that over 85% of grass-fed beef sold in U.S. grocery stores is imported?

00:12:30.520 Speaking of the military, big report out of the Times of London.

00:12:35.640 Donald Trump to kick transgender troops out of the U.S. military.

00:12:41.560 What does the Times of London know?

00:12:43.440 President Trump's spokesman, Caroline Leavitt, has said that this is just a rumor.

00:12:47.500 This has not come from President Trump himself.

00:12:49.940 No decision has been made on any of this transgender military policy.

00:12:54.660 So it's, you know, there's no reason to be reporting on this.

00:12:58.160 However, since someone floated the rumor, I think it's worth pointing out, this obviously should happen.

00:13:06.200 It is completely insane that we allow people with obvious, deep mental illness and impaired faculties of reason to serve in our military. 0.99

00:13:15.220 That does not help military readiness.

00:13:18.660 That does not make America stronger.

00:13:20.620 That does not make us more prepared to fight wars.

00:13:24.060 That makes us much, much weaker.

00:13:27.440 I don't know who would really dispute that.

00:13:29.980 I don't think the people who are advocating for so-called transgender inclusion in the military are even seriously making the argument that that makes our country stronger.

00:13:40.320 The argument they're making is that it's a matter of justice and rights and human dignity that we allow men who think that they're women to serve in the military.

00:13:47.780 But it doesn't make us stronger.

00:13:50.080 It imperils women who have to bunk with these guys because the guys, not even necessarily through any fault of their own, they just have mental illness and defective faculties of reason and sometimes disordered desires and sexual fetishes.

00:14:03.640 But regardless, they're just not perceiving the world accurately.

00:14:06.100 If you don't know what sex you are, you've got a problem of perception that imperils women, that imperils our military readiness. 1.00

00:14:15.520 It's just not good for America.

00:14:17.380 It's not even good for the guys who think that they're women.

00:14:20.280 It's bad for them too because it's bad to affirm people in delusions.

00:14:23.340 That's not conducive to their flourishing.

00:14:25.160 If you want to flourish, you have to live in accord with reality.

00:14:28.760 And if you really want to flourish, if you want to have happiness, then we can go back to the wisdom of good old Uncle Aristotle who reminded us that happiness consists in a rational activity of the soul that is done with excellence in accord with virtue.

00:14:44.480 Key word here, rational activity of the soul.

00:14:47.760 It's got to be connected to reality.

00:14:49.500 It has to be reasonable.

00:14:50.960 Transgenderism is not reasonable. 1.00

00:14:52.860 Another reminder just from history.

00:14:54.560 So-called transgender people, that is to say mentally ill men, were banned from the military for a very good reason, for their own safety and for military fitness, until 2016. 1.00

00:15:05.920 Until the very, very tail end of Barack Obama's second term, everyone, liberals and conservatives, agreed that obviously these guys should not be permitted in the military.

00:15:15.340 They need psychiatric help, but they should not be imperiling military fitness in the United States.

00:15:23.320 Everyone agreed with that.

00:15:24.220 Then President Trump comes into office the following year and reverses the so-called trans inclusion.

00:15:31.680 Then the libs come back and they push the transgenderism in the military again. 0.97

00:15:36.340 This is a very live issue.

00:15:38.080 It's still controversial.

00:15:39.940 I actually don't even think it's all that controversial, meaning I think most Americans would agree you shouldn't have deeply mentally ill men with disordered perceptions and desires serving in our military. 0.67

00:15:51.520 That doesn't benefit anyone.

00:15:52.700 So the official line from the Trump camp is, and from the transition, is that there is no decision to kick transgender troops out of the military.

00:16:00.920 However, they should.

00:16:02.700 You know, not out of cruelty to people who are confused, but just it's not good for anyone.

00:16:08.000 And the wisdom of the ages, including every liberal president, up to and including virtually all of Barack Obama's two terms, plus the wisdom of the conservatives tells us this is not a good thing to have in the military, so got to get rid of it.

00:16:22.240 Now, speaking of weird sex stuff, I have just read the most disturbing story I've read in many weeks, and it's a really excellent piece of journalism that I encourage all of you to read.

00:16:32.200 And this is going to be the most shocking part.

00:16:33.620 It was in the New York Times.

00:16:34.680 Now, actually, it was in the New York Times magazine, which has a little bit more serious journalism to it, but this was really, really good.

00:16:41.360 Credit where credit's due.

00:16:42.640 Headline.

00:16:44.020 An IVF mix-up, a shocking discovery, and an unbearable choice.

00:16:47.420 Two couples in California discovered they were raising each other's genetic children.

00:16:51.280 Should they switch the girls? 1.00

00:16:53.200 By Susan Dominus.

00:16:54.560 Really encourage you to go read this.

00:16:56.100 I'll give you the CliffsNotes.

00:16:59.800 There's a couple.

00:17:01.120 They went through in vitro fertilization.

00:17:03.160 That is to say, they went to the baby store.

00:17:05.280 They procured this procedure.

00:17:07.400 They had scientists create human embryos, create bait persons in a Petri dish.

00:17:13.860 Then, typically, most of those persons are frozen away or killed, just destroyed.

00:17:18.840 But one of them implanted and took, and they gave birth to this baby.

00:17:23.840 And immediately, the father says, wait a second.

00:17:26.340 That baby doesn't look like me.

00:17:28.080 It doesn't look like either of us.

00:17:29.100 That baby actually looks part Asian.

00:17:31.900 Neither of the parents were Asian.

00:17:33.320 So he had these fears.

00:17:34.340 Oh, yikes.

00:17:34.840 What if the IVF clinic made a mistake?

00:17:37.420 The wife didn't want to hear about it. 1.00

00:17:39.140 She seemed to have some fears, too.

00:17:40.420 Finally, some friends of theirs, a couple months in, say, hey, man, that ain't your kid.

00:17:46.160 You know, I'm a little worried that maybe you should get a test.

00:17:48.780 They get a test.

00:17:49.480 They find out, yeah, it's not their kid.

00:17:51.340 This mother carried the baby to term. 0.66

00:17:53.100 It's not even like it was a mix-up at the hospital.

00:17:57.520 This woman carried this child, but it wasn't their genetic child.

00:18:02.620 They call the IVF doctor.

00:18:05.940 First, they call a lawyer.

00:18:06.980 Then they call the IVF doctor.

00:18:08.420 They say, hey, we think this happened.

00:18:09.880 They find out it happened to another couple.

00:18:11.600 Now, at this point, they say, where's our kid?

00:18:13.600 Was our kid destroyed in the lab?

00:18:15.980 They frequently, IVF companies, destroy human embryos, kill babies.

00:18:21.000 Was our kid destroyed?

00:18:21.900 Was our kid lost?

00:18:22.840 That happens.

00:18:23.400 Was our kid given to someone else on the other side of the world?

00:18:25.780 Where's their kid?

00:18:26.200 They find out there is a match.

00:18:29.340 Their child was given to another couple, and the child is 10 minutes down the street.

00:18:34.280 But you've got to remember, these two women here have brought these babies to term for nine months.

00:18:41.820 These mothers are the only mothers these children have ever known.

00:18:44.460 They've swaddled them.

00:18:45.380 They've cuddled with them.

00:18:46.280 They've fed them.

00:18:46.980 They've nursed them.

00:18:47.600 They've done all the things, but they're not really their babies.

00:18:49.800 So, they find out, okay, these are the wrong kids.

00:18:58.600 I'll get into the actual writing of this piece now.

00:19:01.120 Ten minutes later, a babysitter arrived to watch May, watch the baby, while Alexander and Daphna, the parents, took Olivia, their five-year-old daughter, to see Frozen 2, a long-promised outing.

00:19:10.460 In the theater, they sat on either side of her, tears running down their cheeks in the dark, trying to understand what this news meant for their family.

00:19:17.140 If the clinic had given them another couple's embryo, what did that suggest about the fate of their own embryos?

00:19:21.680 If they tried to find out and inform the clinic of their error, could they end up losing May?

00:19:25.520 Even if they did nothing, could they lose May to her genetic parents, who might already be desperately trying to find her?

00:19:30.440 So, the couples finally meet up.

00:19:31.900 They're crying.

00:19:32.560 They're sobbing.

00:19:33.280 They're absolutely miserable.

00:19:34.920 They decide to switch the babies.

00:19:36.580 But then, what about the five-year-old sibling?

00:19:39.000 Daphna explained to her five-year-old daughter, Olivia, that there was another baby who was a part of their family, and that she was gaining a sister after a bit of a mix-up.

00:19:46.560 Daphna said nothing about the switch, but Olivia was quick to figure it out.

00:19:49.900 Wait, did this mean they were losing May?

00:19:53.620 The father responded, no, no, he assured her, we'll always have her.

00:19:56.660 But Daphna groaned internally, that wasn't true, it'd be an awful promise to break.

00:20:00.640 At the same time, she knew that in that moment, it seemed like the only possible answer, to lie to her.

00:20:04.720 Not say, yeah, actually, you're losing your sister that you've come to love over these past 11 months.

00:20:10.220 Olivia, Alexander told Olivia not to be scared, but Olivia started shutting down.

00:20:13.860 She made a small whimpering noise. 0.98

00:20:15.160 Yeah, she was losing her sister.

00:20:16.600 She asked again, were they going to give her sister away?

00:20:19.220 As Daphna tried to comfort Olivia, she burned with anger at the clinic.

00:20:22.140 Somewhere along the way, a mistake had been made.

00:20:24.040 That's true.

00:20:24.700 And there's plenty of reason to blame the clinic, but it's not only to blame the clinic.

00:20:29.280 Because this couple chose to do this.

00:20:31.620 They chose to do this thing.

00:20:32.660 For all the right reasons, for all the good intentions, for all the pain of infertility,

00:20:35.700 they chose to do this thing that led them to this point.

00:20:38.300 And here's the kicker.

00:20:40.640 They hired a lawyer, and the lawyer said that he had personally encountered upwards of 10 cases of switched embryos in IVF.

00:20:48.900 He had personally represented 1,000 plaintiffs accusing clinics of misconduct or negligence,

00:20:54.440 usually involving loss, damage, and killing of embryos.

00:20:57.320 And this lawyer believes that the public becomes aware of only a fraction of the errors that occur in fertility clinic labs.

00:21:04.100 What happens to this couple, these two couples?

00:21:07.160 What does this mean for how we think about IVF?

00:21:09.540 There's so much more to say.

00:21:10.940 First, though, go to puretalk.com slash Knowles.

00:21:13.700 Have you ever thought about what charities and causes the brands you give your hard-earned money to support?

00:21:18.180 Pure Talk, my cell phone company, supports veterans.

00:21:21.200 I think that's a pretty good cause.

00:21:22.500 As a veteran-led company, it is their passion project.

00:21:24.940 That is why Pure Talk has alleviated $10 million in veteran debt.

00:21:28.880 That's why they donate tens of thousands of dollars every month to help prevent veteran suicide.

00:21:32.840 It's why they just donated $50,000 to Microworks, providing scholarships to veterans learning the trades after active duty.

00:21:39.400 Now, is that not a company that you can get behind?

00:21:42.280 I think it is.

00:21:43.000 Time to jump ship from Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile.

00:21:45.600 There is a better option.

00:21:46.620 Pure Talk gives you the same great coverage, America's most dependable 5G network, for half the cost.

00:21:51.220 You will also be helping our vets.

00:22:24.120 Because Carl has his own cigar made by La Roar.

00:22:26.620 Really, really great smoke.

00:22:27.600 I had one yesterday.

00:22:28.660 We're selling that with Mayflower.

00:22:37.460 Go check out my interview with Carl Malone down in Ruston, Louisiana at his Legends Cigar Lounge.

00:22:43.240 Crazy story from New York Times Magazine.

00:22:48.100 Two couples, their kids, they go through IVF.

00:22:52.640 They accidentally implant the wrong kids.

00:22:54.760 They're raising the wrong kids.

00:22:55.920 They find out they have the wrong kids.

00:22:57.520 Now they have to decide, do we give up our kid that we've been raising for 11 months?

00:23:00.300 Do we tell our other daughter that she's going to lose her sister?

00:23:03.880 Sorry, bye.

00:23:04.880 Whoopsie-daisy.

00:23:05.880 Oops.

00:23:06.780 You know, a little mistake.

00:23:07.980 Or do we keep the kids? 0.64

00:23:09.280 It's kind of like kidnapping.

00:23:10.220 What about the rights of people to their own genetic children?

00:23:12.500 What happens?

00:23:14.520 What happens?

00:23:17.460 The story concludes with these people's lives ruined, basically.

00:23:24.780 They have an impossible choice.

00:23:27.120 They have to either give away the kid that they've gestated and have been raising and has become part of their family.

00:23:32.840 Just give the kid away. 0.79

00:23:33.700 Whoops, never mind.

00:23:36.020 To take their genetic child.

00:23:37.720 Or they have to abandon their genetic child, their actual progeny, their biological progeny, and just let that kid be raised by someone else without any influence over how that kid's going to be raised.

00:23:50.820 Impossible choice.

00:23:51.940 Neither of those are good options.

00:23:53.040 So, for now, what they say they're doing is they're just going to raise the kid together.

00:23:57.140 So, the resolution to this is they're going to live in a weird kind of platonic polycule.

00:24:02.140 And that's, we'll see how long that lasts.

00:24:05.260 This has been tried before because these kinds of errors.

00:24:07.760 There's IVF companies implanting the wrong embryos, sometimes creating the wrong embryos from the sperm from one father and the egg from a mother that don't know each other.

00:24:17.400 Oopsie-daisy.

00:24:18.160 Whoops.

00:24:18.740 You know, it happens in corporations.

00:24:20.240 It happens in commerce sometimes.

00:24:22.240 People just make mistakes.

00:24:23.460 And usually you make a mistake and it means that the hem of your dress is a little bit off.

00:24:27.880 But in this case, you make a mistake and a human being was created that you never intended to create who now doesn't really have a claim to any parents.

00:24:35.440 But oops, you know, that's business, isn't it?

00:24:37.480 That's just how it works in corporations. 0.84

00:24:39.020 There's going to be some margin of error.

00:24:40.200 You want to be efficient.

00:24:41.160 You want to reduce the error.

00:24:42.000 But sometimes it happens.

00:24:43.280 And in this case, you give babies away to the wrong parents or you create babies who don't really have a claim to parents or who do have a claim to parents that won't be recognized by society.

00:24:54.220 In case anyone's missed the point, IVF is simply morally unacceptable.

00:25:00.560 It's simple as that.

00:25:02.080 I get why people do IVF.

00:25:03.820 I know many people listening to this show right now have done IVF.

00:25:07.020 I sympathize as to why you did it.

00:25:09.740 I, my wife and I experienced infertility for two years.

00:25:12.180 I know it's just awful.

00:25:13.860 I know.

00:25:14.660 I see how tempting it is.

00:25:15.880 I was tempted myself.

00:25:16.740 It's simply morally unacceptable.

00:25:20.380 And it's morally unacceptable for some of the reasons that people hear that it leads to the killing of many babies because it leads to the destruction or permanent freezing of embryos.

00:25:30.040 Indefinite freezing of embryos.

00:25:31.360 Nothing's permanent.

00:25:32.020 They'll be killed eventually.

00:25:33.320 Most likely.

00:25:33.800 But also because it commoditizes human life and it establishes the domination of science and technology over the origin and destiny of human life.

00:25:44.460 Because it denies the legitimate rights of children to be the product of a specific conjugal act of his parents.

00:25:50.140 His mother and father were bound together in a permanent union.

00:25:52.900 And because it exerts an undue demand over the future destiny of individual human beings and of humanity writ large.

00:26:07.520 It's just morally unacceptable.

00:26:09.900 There is no moral case for it.

00:26:12.020 The only person who can be said to have rights in reproduction are children who have the rights to their parents to be the specific conjugal act of their parents in holy matrimony. 0.65

00:26:22.400 Or even unholy, even in civil matrimony. 0.93

00:26:24.480 But that's the right.

00:26:25.540 No one has a right to a child.

00:26:27.700 Children are not commodities.

00:26:28.920 Children are not accessories.

00:26:29.900 Children do not exist to fulfill our desires and to be conveniences for us.

00:26:38.500 It's not how it works.

00:26:41.180 And the only argument I've ever heard that is somewhat compelling for IVF, I've heard one.

00:26:48.360 And some of you are probably yelling that argument right now.

00:26:51.200 The argument is, I only have my kid because of IVF.

00:26:54.700 So screw you.

00:26:56.020 That's the argument.

00:26:56.840 I've heard it many times.

00:26:58.280 I only have my kid.

00:26:59.520 I only have my grandkid because of IVF. 0.99

00:27:01.020 So screw you, ma'am. 1.00

00:27:03.160 I get it.

00:27:04.340 I get it.

00:27:05.560 I understand that emotional appeal.

00:27:07.480 But that's what it is.

00:27:08.580 It's not an argument.

00:27:11.780 Anything that gives us kids is good.

00:27:13.560 You don't really believe that.

00:27:14.640 You think cheating on your spouse is good?

00:27:18.040 You can make a kid by cheating on your spouse.

00:27:19.880 You think that's a good thing?

00:27:20.820 That means that cheating on your spouse is a positively good moral act?

00:27:24.240 No.

00:27:25.700 You can conceive a child in rape.

00:27:27.360 Does that justify rape?

00:27:28.400 The children who are conceived in any circumstance are good.

00:27:31.780 It is good to have children.

00:27:34.080 That doesn't justify extramarital sex. 0.61

00:27:36.460 That doesn't justify rape.

00:27:37.620 That doesn't justify having an Ottoman-style harem, as one of my favorite Twitter accounts pointed out.

00:27:43.840 It doesn't, of course not.

00:27:46.460 Obviously, there are immoral means to have children. 1.00

00:27:51.100 And this is one of them.

00:27:52.280 The costs are simply too high.

00:27:57.460 The moral compromises and immoral actions that you have to engage in to do this are too great.

00:28:05.200 And the attack on the family, and specifically the attack on the rights of kids, is too great.

00:28:12.280 I don't think the New York Times writers understood how persuasive this piece is against IVF.

00:28:19.120 They probably didn't, because their intellects have been darkened.

00:28:22.000 That's one evidence of that, is that they work for the New York Times.

00:28:24.900 Read this piece.

00:28:25.720 Read this article.

00:28:26.400 And IVF makes up a shocking discovery and an unbearable choice.

00:28:28.740 Recognize that these sorts of accidents have been going on for decades.

00:28:33.200 Read this piece and tell me what the moral and legal argument for IVF is.

00:28:37.500 I don't see it.

00:28:38.700 Now, speaking of credibility issues, Jon Stewart has just come out to mock, not the conservatives,

00:28:45.780 as he usually does, but he's mocking Joe and Mika, mourning Joe and Mika on MSNBC,

00:28:51.660 because of their obsequious display at Mar-a-Lago.

00:28:56.560 He goes off.

00:28:57.540 Joe and Mika going down there might be one of my favorites, when they had to come out and go.

00:29:03.520 And so we did.

00:29:04.980 Like, they spent the year going, this man will destroy all that you hold dear.

00:29:12.880 He is a Hitler-Mussolini cocktail mix. 0.87

00:29:19.720 And we must also, literally one week later, they're like, so we go.

00:29:24.360 We have lunch, light lunch.

00:29:27.540 I get the watercress salad.

00:29:30.140 And you know Joey.

00:29:31.400 He loves shrimp fra diablo.

00:29:33.840 So he and the Mar-a-Lago shrimp fra diablo is delicious.

00:29:38.080 I thought that was one of the more remarkable.

00:29:42.660 But it shows the performative nature of so much of all of this, which is, again, when you talk about credibility, like, yeh.

00:29:54.260 Okay, so this attack, this line of attack by Jon Stewart is notable because it's the exact same line of attack he's been making for decades.

00:30:02.720 I used to watch The Daily Show in its early days.

00:30:05.520 I used to watch The Daily Show on Comedy Central before Jon Stewart was the host of it, back when it was Craig Kilbord.

00:30:11.040 And this was his attack.

00:30:12.380 The show never had very high ratings, but it did very well among journalists and the political class.

00:30:18.860 So it had an outsized influence.

00:30:21.060 And one of the infamous moments from Jon Stewart was when he went on the CNN show Crossfire, and he just harangued Tucker Carlson.

00:30:30.240 He just brutally attacked Tucker Carlson and said, you don't have any credibility.

00:30:34.840 This is all performance.

00:30:36.540 This isn't real debate.

00:30:37.340 He made fun of Tucker for wearing a bow tie.

00:30:39.420 The show was canceled shortly thereafter, and Tucker left CNN shortly thereafter.

00:30:43.720 It was a brutal, vicious attack.

00:30:45.360 And it was this attack.

00:30:46.840 It was this exact attack that he's making right now.

00:30:49.000 What is notable about it is he used to make that attack primarily against right-wingers.

00:30:54.840 He is now making that attack against left-wingers.

00:30:57.640 It's the same attack.

00:30:59.060 But what he is identifying is a credibility issue that is flip sides.

00:31:03.020 He would attack the media broadly, but he would focus more on the right.

00:31:08.660 Here, the media that has the credibility issue, it's the left-wing media.

00:31:13.900 And that's a funny little bit he did.

00:31:16.400 You know, Trump is Hitler.

00:31:17.820 Trump's going to destroy our whole country.

00:31:20.440 Ooh, he won?

00:31:21.660 Yikes, we better go suck up at Mar-a-Lago. 0.99

00:31:24.420 All right, we had a lovely lunch.

00:31:25.660 It was fun.

00:31:26.220 Oh, you know Trump.

00:31:27.080 You know him.

00:31:29.260 It's a recognition of a realignment.

00:31:33.020 It's the same sort of thing that we've been talking about for years at this point.

00:31:36.100 It's a realignment of American labor moving more right-wing.

00:31:38.940 It's a realignment of the media.

00:31:43.120 It's really a total reordering of the media, which we'll get to in one moment,

00:31:48.440 because the establishment media are losing a lot of their power and their influence.

00:31:52.420 But it's a realignment even of the anti-establishment comedians.

00:31:57.600 The establishment is incontrovertibly left-wing now.

00:32:02.120 And so the people who look ridiculous in the eyes of even leftist comedians like Jon Stewart are on the left.

00:32:07.580 Now, on the future of media, we're going to have a little bit of an inception kind of incident right here on this show,

00:32:14.360 because I recently went on Don Jr.'s show, and he broke some news on his own show.

00:32:20.660 But I was there for it, and the show aired last night.

00:32:22.740 So now on my show, I'm going to air Don Jr.'s show, specifically a segment in which I talked to Don Jr.

00:32:29.720 about a suggestion that I had made for the White House briefing room.

00:32:33.560 Namely, I suggested that the next press secretary, to really reset the relationship between the citizen and the press,

00:32:40.720 the Republican Party and the press too, should rip up that seating chart 1.00

00:32:44.300 and kick out some of the old establishment outlets that have a credibility problem and an influence problem,

00:32:50.100 and put in some of the new media outlets that have more credibility and more eyeballs on them.

00:32:54.480 And Mr. Trump, Don Jr., broke this little bit of news.

00:32:59.380 So we're going to break some news here, because I literally had this conversation.

00:33:02.900 I was flying back.

00:33:04.360 I was on the plane, I guess, with my father either.

00:33:07.760 I think it was coming back from the SpaceX launch with Elon last week.

00:33:11.940 And I was sitting there, and we were talking about the podcast world and some of our friends and Rogan and guys like you

00:33:18.780 and, you know, me to a lesser extent, you know, I wouldn't be able to get a seat.

00:33:22.320 That would be nepotism or whatever the hell, you know, I'd be indicted again.

00:33:27.200 I'd have to do more congressional testimony, so I'll pass.

00:33:29.800 But we actually had this conversation about, like, we had the conversation about opening up

00:33:33.740 the press room to a lot of these independent journalists.

00:33:37.120 Like, you know, why should—if The New York Times has lied, they've been adverse to everything,

00:33:41.100 they're functioning as the marketing arm of the Democrat Party,

00:33:45.040 like, why not open it up to people who have larger viewerships, stronger followings?

00:33:52.100 Like, it's not like the New York—I mean, how much money are they losing a year?

00:33:54.780 The Washington Post, what, lost $70 to $45 to $70 million?

00:33:58.700 You know, it doesn't seem like they're a great success.

00:34:01.000 So we've had that conversation.

00:34:02.680 You're like, that's a great idea, Don.

00:34:03.860 I was like, I think we should do this, and so that may be in the works.

00:34:07.280 Let's see.

00:34:07.620 That's going to blow up some heads, so, you know, we'll see.

00:34:09.960 Love this.

00:34:10.740 This is a great idea.

00:34:12.240 Good stuff on Don Jr., getting this in his father's ear.

00:34:16.160 Great stuff from President Trump, who apparently is quite open to it.

00:34:20.220 This is massive because Trump has a mandate.

00:34:24.960 It is—the election of—the re-election of Trump was, in many ways,

00:34:29.120 a big middle finger by the American people to the political class.

00:34:32.100 Unified government, they want big changes.

00:34:37.380 And one way to do this that not a lot of people are totally aware of is,

00:34:41.840 you have to reset the relationship with the press,

00:34:44.120 which acts as the medium through which we view our government

00:34:48.520 and interact with our government.

00:34:49.920 And now is the time.

00:34:51.000 I mean, they are down.

00:34:51.980 They are weak.

00:34:53.020 They are losing—they're hemorrhaging viewership.

00:34:55.060 CNN is in huge trouble.

00:34:56.440 MSNBC is on the chopping block.

00:34:58.500 New York Times, Washington Post admit that podcasters are eating their lunch.

00:35:01.440 So this is it.

00:35:02.340 They are down, and we need to kick them while they're down. 1.00

00:35:04.320 We need to kick them really, really hard while they're down 0.84

00:35:06.480 and reset the relationship in a way that, by the way, is just

00:35:09.980 because the whole point of the White House briefing room

00:35:12.520 is to allow the White House to communicate with the American people,

00:35:15.720 to allow the American people to have their questions answered by the White House.

00:35:19.180 So how about the people that act as those media,

00:35:22.940 how about those people be the ones that have credibility

00:35:25.160 and that actually have the attention of the American people?

00:35:28.160 It makes perfect sense.

00:35:29.780 Great stuff.

00:35:30.300 I can't wait to see it.

00:36:12.260 Today, my favorite comment yesterday is from Rachel Atkins, 2882.

00:36:16.980 Says, I would trust Dr. Ben Carson for Surgeon General.

00:36:19.260 I agree.

00:36:20.600 I agree.

00:36:21.260 That'd be nice.

00:36:21.920 I like that.

00:36:22.340 Trust Dr. Ben Carson in most roles.

00:36:24.520 But Surgeon General, he'd be great.

00:36:27.420 Now, speaking of the White House,

00:36:29.480 I've got some delicious, delicious news for you.

00:36:33.020 This by way of Politico.

00:36:34.480 So, Harris is telling her advisors and allies

00:36:41.140 to keep her political options open.

00:36:45.560 Here it is.

00:36:48.440 Kamala Harris has been lying low since her defeat 0.86

00:36:52.080 in the presidential race,

00:36:53.700 unwinding with family and senior aides in Hawaii

00:36:55.520 before heading back to the nation's capital.

00:36:57.380 But privately, the vice president has been instructing advisors

00:37:00.760 and allies to keep her options open,

00:37:03.640 whether for a possible 2028 presidential run

00:37:06.040 or even a run for governor of her home state of California 0.70

00:37:08.000 in two years.

00:37:09.400 As Harris has repeated in phone calls,

00:37:11.560 I am staying in the fight.

00:37:14.880 I won't read the rest of the article.

00:37:16.860 You can read it too.

00:37:17.460 Man, I'm telling you to read the New York Times today.

00:37:19.020 I'm telling you to read Politico today.

00:37:20.380 But this one, you're going to want to read.

00:37:22.000 This reminds me of my friend

00:37:23.300 who subscribed to MSNBC on election night

00:37:25.900 just to watch their meltdowns.

00:37:28.140 Well, I feel this way with Politico today.

00:37:30.760 You tell him that the lady

00:37:33.260 who's never managed to win a presidential primary vote

00:37:36.360 while running for president ever once in her life,

00:37:38.500 who's run for president once

00:37:40.940 and then got the nomination

00:37:42.180 during the time that she didn't run for president,

00:37:44.700 who lost in a massive landslide,

00:37:47.820 who allowed the Republican to win the popular vote

00:37:49.960 for the first time in 20 years,

00:37:51.540 the Republican who we'd all been told

00:37:53.800 was Hitler reincarnate,

00:37:55.280 who was running for an implausible,

00:37:56.720 non-consecutive second term.

00:37:58.000 That woman wants to run again in 2028. 1.00

00:38:01.980 I strongly encourage this.

00:38:05.740 I might donate to the Kamala primary campaign.

00:38:08.820 Let me know, Kamala.

00:38:10.200 Let me know where the pack is,

00:38:11.380 where to send the money.

00:38:12.200 I'll buy the merch.

00:38:13.020 It's cool.

00:38:13.720 Let me know.

00:38:14.420 This is great.

00:38:16.580 Please.

00:38:18.280 Now, you know that Gavin Newsom wants to run.

00:38:21.020 You know that Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania wants to run.

00:38:23.180 You know that Gretchen Whitmer, I think, wants to run. 1.00

00:38:25.220 And you know that Mayor Pete, Mayor Pete Buttigieg wants to run.

00:38:28.380 There's going to be a lot of competition.

00:38:30.040 But whatever we can do to get Kamala across the finish line

00:38:33.820 for the nomination in 2028, 2032, 2036, definitely 2040,

00:38:39.260 let's do it.

00:38:39.960 Let's get it done.

00:38:42.120 Speaking of women in politics,

00:38:43.660 a little story about a friend of mine up in Canada,

00:38:46.160 America's evil top hat.

00:38:47.260 Kamala's from Canada,

00:38:48.340 and so is my friend Lauren Southern,

00:38:50.240 who was just hauled before Canadian Parliament

00:38:53.940 because Lauren Southern had a contract 0.99

00:38:58.200 with this company, Tenant Media.

00:39:00.220 And Tenant Media was apparently taking money

00:39:02.760 from the Russians,

00:39:03.420 and they paid some right-wing influencers.

00:39:07.020 I didn't get a single ruble,

00:39:08.340 I'm sorry to report.

00:39:09.300 But this was blown up in the establishment media

00:39:12.840 as the Russians buying the 2024 election,

00:39:17.300 as the Russians exerting their influence in the West.

00:39:21.020 So Lauren was hauled before Canadian Parliament. 1.00

00:39:24.880 Here is her opening statement.

00:39:27.040 Honorable Chair, esteemed members of this committee,

00:39:29.780 I would like to thank you for so enthusiastically

00:39:31.840 inviting me to speak today.

00:39:33.480 My name is Lauren Southern.

00:39:34.700 I am a filmmaker, a YouTuber, and a proud Canadian.

00:39:37.420 In late 2023, I was contracted to make weekly videos

00:39:41.000 by a startup company called Tenant Media.

00:39:43.520 Some in the media, and even witnesses to this committee,

00:39:45.800 have attempted to paint a picture of Tenant

00:39:47.360 as a hugely influential player

00:39:49.100 in the political media landscape.

00:39:51.000 This, frankly, is just not true.

00:39:53.260 A previous witness to this committee,

00:39:55.240 who went unchallenged,

00:39:56.980 stated that Tenant Media controlled a network

00:39:58.820 of over 16 million subscribers.

00:40:01.400 This is not true.

00:40:02.520 On their largest platform, YouTube,

00:40:04.280 Tenant had barely over 300,000 subscribers.

00:40:07.420 I believe the 16 million figure

00:40:09.160 referred to the total number of subscribers

00:40:10.900 among all of the personalities

00:40:12.340 who had videos contracted or licensed by Tenant.

00:40:16.240 Subscriber base is that,

00:40:17.580 given all of the facts,

00:40:18.540 Tenant had absolutely no control over.

00:40:21.180 To claim that Tenant controlled those subscribers

00:40:22.960 would be like claiming that a TV network

00:40:24.800 had influence over the United States presidency

00:40:27.060 because they air reruns of The Apprentice.

00:40:29.680 I love that analogy.

00:40:32.840 She goes on,

00:40:33.500 the whole testimony is really worth watching

00:40:36.180 because she really manhandles 1.00

00:40:37.780 the liberal Canadian MPs.

00:40:40.120 But it's an important point

00:40:41.300 because you know they're going to resurrect this story.

00:40:43.700 They tried it at the end of the election.

00:40:45.300 It didn't quite work.

00:40:46.600 But the media, dishonest as they are,

00:40:49.740 they got the story not just a little bit wrong,

00:40:52.060 but they got it perfectly wrong.

00:40:53.400 They said that the Russians

00:40:54.600 had been paying off these right-wing influencers,

00:40:57.440 and they had this massive influence,

00:40:58.920 16 million followers and zillions of views.

00:41:01.680 And what's ironic about this is

00:41:03.500 the story of Tenant media is the opposite.

00:41:07.740 The Russians dumped 10 million or more, 1.00

00:41:09.920 I mean, I think maybe it was $16 million,

00:41:11.480 something like that,

00:41:12.320 into right-wing media in America.

00:41:16.260 And they got basically nothing for it.

00:41:18.800 As Lauren says there, they licensed videos.

00:41:21.660 So videos that were already made,

00:41:23.540 they licensed them to put them on their channels.

00:41:25.580 So it had no influence over that whatsoever.

00:41:29.140 They just paid for videos that already existed.

00:41:31.020 In some cases, they contracted weekly videos,

00:41:33.280 but they did it through this intermediary.

00:41:34.980 So it wasn't in any way clear

00:41:36.840 that this was coming for the Russians.

00:41:38.520 The videos had usually had nothing to do

00:41:40.440 with anything that might even pertain to the Russians.

00:41:43.600 And in terms of their own actual reach,

00:41:46.920 they got at best, what was it?

00:41:48.580 300,000 YouTube subscribers, which is nothing.

00:41:51.520 I say this as someone who has a moderately-sized YouTube channel,

00:41:56.600 but a moderately-sized YouTube channel

00:41:57.720 is still millions of YouTube subscribers.

00:42:01.100 The real story, if a real journalist wanted to write

00:42:04.300 the interesting story of Tenant media,

00:42:07.020 the interesting story would be

00:42:08.100 that the Russians were totally incompetent, 0.99

00:42:10.440 and they blew a ton of money,

00:42:12.220 and they got no return on their investment.

00:42:14.660 So anyway, good performance, as usual,

00:42:17.580 from Lauren Southern.

00:42:18.560 Speaking of leftist ignorance before we go,

00:42:21.280 I can't let CNN off the hook.

00:42:23.680 A Democrat strategist went on CNN some days ago

00:42:26.640 and demonstrated why we want to kick people like them

00:42:32.860 out of the White House briefing room.

00:42:34.180 It's not just because they're ideological.

00:42:37.200 It's not just because they oppose us.

00:42:38.260 It's because they don't really know anything,

00:42:40.960 and they don't have any credibility.

00:42:42.440 Here, a Democrat strategist

00:42:43.880 describes U.S. troops using AK-47s.

00:42:47.360 I agree.

00:42:48.460 You don't want 19-year-old boys with AKs 1.00

00:42:50.400 in the middle of whatever protests are going on,

00:42:52.420 because no matter what happens,

00:42:53.460 you're going to see a protest from whether

00:42:54.740 and you put a U.S. Army person

00:42:56.540 or a young man or a young woman

00:42:57.960 in an impossible situation,

00:42:59.620 and it could only end badly.

00:43:01.080 It could only end badly.

00:43:02.560 We're giving them these AK-47s.

00:43:04.980 Now, for those of you who do not know,

00:43:08.140 we do not outfit our troops with AK-47s.

00:43:11.200 The Soviets used AK-47s during the Cold War,

00:43:15.840 and then the AK-47s ended up in Afghanistan.

00:43:18.620 That's why you see guys like Osama bin Laden 1.00

00:43:20.100 with AK-47s.

00:43:20.880 We don't do that.

00:43:21.520 We use M-16s.

00:43:22.740 We use a lot of other guns, too.

00:43:24.300 But this is kind of military guns 101.

00:43:27.760 If you don't know that,

00:43:28.660 you probably don't know much else

00:43:30.380 about the military or about firearms

00:43:32.180 or really about much of anything.

00:43:34.000 And they wonder why people do not trust the media.

00:43:39.900 Final point to end on.

00:43:41.420 I mentioned it as it was occurring some days ago,

00:43:44.460 but I want to play a little clip of this.

00:43:47.100 The Senate races are all over.

00:43:49.680 Bob Casey in Pennsylvania has finally given up.

00:43:51.920 Here's his concession.

00:43:53.520 I just called Dave McCormick to congratulate him

00:43:56.100 on his election to represent Pennsylvania

00:43:58.440 in the United States Senate.

00:44:00.280 As the first count of ballots is completed,

00:44:02.520 Pennsylvanians can move forward with the knowledge

00:44:05.420 that their voices were heard,

00:44:07.660 whether their vote was the first to be counted or the last.

00:44:11.200 This race was one of the closest in our Commonwealth's history,

00:44:14.560 decided by less than a quarter of a point.

00:44:17.360 I'm grateful to the thousands of people

00:44:19.460 who worked to make sure that every eligible vote cast

00:44:22.580 could be counted,

00:44:24.260 including election officials in all 67 counties.

00:44:28.260 When a Pennsylvanian takes the time to cast a legal vote,

00:44:31.680 often waiting in long lines

00:44:33.700 and taking time away from their work and family,

00:44:37.180 they deserve to know that their vote will count.

00:44:41.140 That's democracy.

00:44:43.200 I'm proud of the work we've done since Election Day

00:44:45.780 to enfranchise voters across the state.

00:44:48.560 This guy is just a caricature of a politician.

00:44:52.660 The way he talks,

00:44:53.800 you can sense the brimming fury here.

00:44:58.120 This guy has been trying to overturn the results

00:44:59.860 of this election for weeks at this point,

00:45:01.780 and he finally stopped.

00:45:03.240 I'm glad he stopped trying to overturn

00:45:04.540 the results of the election.

00:45:05.840 The only reason this is happening

00:45:07.000 is because the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania

00:45:08.640 ordered multiple counties

00:45:10.760 to stop openly violating the law,

00:45:13.700 and the Supreme Court had to do this multiple times.

00:45:16.040 That's the only reason we go,

00:45:17.080 no, every vote's been cast.

00:45:18.360 I'm happy that finally our people's voices were heard.

00:45:22.440 It's such tripe.

00:45:24.480 It's so ridiculous.

00:45:26.280 This guy, Bob Casey,

00:45:27.700 did everything in his power to overturn the election.

00:45:30.140 It didn't work.

00:45:31.120 The Democrats are going to try even harder next time.

00:45:33.060 You cannot let up the fight.

00:45:34.340 They're dropping the cases against Trump now.

00:45:36.240 They're going to pick him up after he leaves office.

00:45:38.400 They're going to try to imprison the next guy.

00:45:40.180 They are not giving up.

00:45:41.080 We need structural change on how Democrats can rig elections

00:45:45.320 and on how they can go after political opponents.

00:45:48.560 We need structural, durable change

00:45:50.720 to make sure that this little blip,

00:45:52.880 this reprieve that we've been given,

00:45:55.480 can endure.

00:45:56.800 All right, now,

00:45:57.800 I've got my friend Eric Metaxas coming on the show
