The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1645 - UK Daughters Sacrificed To Muslim Gangs

00:00:00.000 Today, on January 6th, we remember the wise men who traveled from afar, defying an unjust government,

00:00:07.600 to support their leader, who happens to be the true leader of us all.

00:00:12.780 I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:00:30.000 Welcome back to the show. Happy Feast of the Epiphany, everyone.

00:00:37.900 January 6th, what a great day when the wise men go to our Lord.

00:00:43.500 We should make, if you ask me, we should make January 6th a national holiday, a federal holiday.

00:00:51.520 It's an important holiday in the history of our civilization, and America needs to recognize it too.

00:00:56.900 I want a federal holiday on January 6th to celebrate that glorious, glorious day.

00:01:03.240 We have a lot to get to. We're back in studio happily.

00:01:06.180 Netflix is releasing a show about Meghan Markle.

00:02:26.000 Speaking of unjust governments and the real, real clobbering way that 2025 has started out, there is a news story that has been percolating for decades in the United Kingdom that just this past few days has leapt into international headlines.

00:02:45.600 And the story is known as the grooming gangs story in the UK.

00:02:50.820 But grooming gangs is a ridiculous euphemism for what the news story actually is, which is that gangs of Pakistani men, old Pakistani men, have been raping British children for decades in an organized way, then threatening and harming the people who speak out against it. 0.82

00:03:12.280 And that story is horrifying in itself. 0.94

00:03:16.220 There is a related story, which is that in some ways, this is even the more political story.

00:03:24.100 The UK government has been complicit.

00:03:27.240 The UK government has known about this for decades.

00:03:30.860 The UK government has let this happen. 0.98

00:03:32.960 The UK government would rather have its children, its daughters raped by foreigners than risk being called racist. 0.99

00:03:41.520 That's the story. 0.99

00:03:42.280 And it's been going on for decades, and it's only just now hitting international headlines.

00:03:48.140 There's a story in the Telegraph about this, how this happened.

00:03:51.820 They focus on just one town, Oldham in northern England.

00:03:55.060 But a lot of these towns have this problem around Manchester.

00:04:00.340 There are a lot of them.

00:04:02.840 And actually, the figures that you're reading about in the papers are probably relatively conservative figures, but they're shocking.

00:04:08.440 In just in Oldham, at least 1,000 girls in this one town have been abused between 1980 and 2009. 0.99

00:04:17.700 You hear about all sorts of sex scandals, this particular kind of sex scandal, in the Catholic Church, in the Southern Baptist Convention, in Orthodox Jewish communities.

00:04:29.120 You always hear about them.

00:04:29.900 A lot of the news focus on Christian or Jewish religious groups.

00:04:35.840 You rarely read about the Muslim gangs.

00:04:39.840 And yet, if you look at these numbers, you're talking about 1,000 girls in the span of 29 years in just one tiny little town in England.

00:04:49.840 And the rates of child abuse are way, way, way higher than anything you ever read about in the news.

00:04:59.520 But the reason you haven't read about these stories until relatively recently is because this is politically incorrect.

00:05:06.940 When white people do bad things, that's got to make page one news.

00:05:10.940 When native-born citizens do bad things, that's got to be the cover story of the newspaper. 0.98

00:05:15.940 But when foreigners do it, foreigners of a different religion, they're Muslim, foreigners who aren't white, they're brown. 0.99

00:05:23.920 Oh, well, that, we have to push that all the way to the back of the paper.

00:05:26.780 Maybe we won't report on it at all.

00:05:28.720 In fact, even when these men are accused of crimes in front of the government, in front of ministers of justice, and in front of politicians, they have to pretend it's not happening.

00:05:38.900 So this has been going on for a long time.

00:05:41.000 And you don't need to just rely on my interpretation of why the government hasn't done anything.

00:05:45.940 Senior council staff, according to a report now in The Telegraph, were terrified that the abuse of children, quote, had the potential to start a race riot because it's Pakistani gangs preying on white girls.

00:05:58.960 The result, according to The Telegraph, was stasis, despite officials acknowledging in at least one case that abuse by Asian men, Asian is the euphemism in the UK for Pakistani, had gone on for years and years.

00:06:11.620 The safeguarding minister, the person whose job it is to stop this, decided to block a public inquiry.

00:06:20.020 This is Jess Phillips, decided to block a public inquiry into the Oldham Pakistani rape gangs.

00:06:26.100 Just the incidents reported by The Telegraph, this is from Judge Peter Rook's 2013 book, or 2013 sentencing of Mohammed Karar in Oxford, it's a different town, not too far.

00:06:38.860 He writes, Mohammed prepared his victim for, I can't even read this on air because this is a wholesome show, for as horrific a crime as you can possibly imagine with multiple Pakistani men. 1.00

00:06:51.900 Another case reported here, Anna, pseudonym from Bradford, was in residential care, was vulnerable at the age of 14, had made repeated reports of having been raped by these gangs.

00:07:11.600 She then married, quote unquote, her abuser in a traditional Islamic wedding, and her social worker attended the ceremony.

00:07:18.780 Had to pretend this was all okay, this was all wonderful.

00:07:21.980 The authorities then arranged for her to be fostered by her husband's parents.

00:07:26.900 This is a 14-year-old girl. 0.57

00:07:29.280 When I say the UK government was complicit in this, I mean they were actively facilitating the mass rape of young teen girls by foreign men. 0.99

00:07:41.600 In Telford, the Telegraph writes, Lucy Lowe died at age 16, along with her mother and sister, when her abuser set fire to their home in the year 2000.

00:07:54.120 This has been going on for 25 years, actually longer.

00:07:57.760 Because this girl, 16, had given birth to Azhar Ali Mahmoud's child when she was just 14, and she was pregnant when she was killed.

00:08:09.360 With another child.

00:08:13.320 The Telford inquiry, this is in the UK, found that one victim, age 12, told her mother what was going on.

00:08:21.720 The mother called the police, and, quote, there was about six or seven Asian Pakistani men who came to my house.

00:08:29.780 They threatened my mom, saying they'll petrol bomb the house if we don't drop the charges.

00:08:34.100 So the UK facilitated all of this.

00:08:38.920 This is the real-life enactment of an offhand Norm Macdonald joke.

00:08:47.020 Norm Macdonald, it's a joke he made as an aside on his old podcast, and it went right over the head of his liberal guest.

00:08:56.140 Take a listen.

00:08:56.880 Well, I can't say my friend's name, but he said his biggest fear is that ISIS or some terrorist group like that would get a hold of a dirty bomb

00:09:14.680 and explode it over a major city within the United States and kill tens of millions of people. 0.96

00:09:26.020 Because then the blowback against innocent Muslims would be absolutely terrible. 0.99

00:09:35.920 Yeah, that's true.

00:09:37.040 That's true.

00:09:38.240 All right, let's do some jokes.

00:09:41.420 That went well, Josh.

00:09:42.580 Just a crickets.

00:09:45.020 Oh, yes, that's right.

00:09:46.640 And that's exactly what the UK government said here. 0.97

00:09:50.220 Their biggest fear was that Pakistani gangs of men would rape children by the thousands for decades. 0.97

00:09:59.960 Because then the news might get out and the blowback against peaceful Pakistanis would be terrible. 0.99

00:10:08.060 That's it.

00:10:08.380 That was, in more or less their own words, that's what the UK government is admitting now.

00:10:13.740 So will the British government be held to account for this?

00:10:17.240 I hope so.

00:10:17.960 Elon is on the war path right now.

00:10:19.520 That answers my first question, which is why is this coming up now?

00:10:22.400 This is coming up now because Elon Musk is making a big deal about it, and Elon Musk has a lot of money, and Elon Musk has a bully pulpit,

00:10:28.500 and Elon Musk is one of the loudest men in the world, and he can draw attention to stories.

00:10:32.340 He can make a story that's been percolating for 30 years, 40 years, become a major political issue.

00:10:38.560 He has that power.

00:10:40.680 Most of us don't have that power.

00:10:43.280 I have a show.

00:10:44.560 I have a little bit of that power.

00:10:46.400 I don't have even an iota of the kind of platform that Elon Musk has.

00:10:50.640 So that's a real political power.

00:10:52.760 He can make issues happen, or he can rather make political debate and political consequences happen for issues that were already existing.

00:11:02.960 That's one reason.

00:11:04.080 The other reason is because Trump won, and because Trump won, we're allowed to talk about real things again.

00:11:09.040 Had Kamala won, we can't talk about real things.

00:11:11.080 We have to pretend that the border is secure.

00:11:12.980 We have to continue to let millions of people into our country. 0.99

00:11:15.300 We have to continue to let criminals commit violence on our subways and on our streets and all over the country.

00:11:21.000 We have to continue to pretend that world affairs are going fine and you don't have major wars breaking out.

00:11:25.640 We would have had to continue to live in lies because Trump won, and because he won the popular vote, people can now admit,

00:11:33.240 okay, we all agree it's normal.

00:11:35.860 It's mainstream to point out we don't want to be invaded by millions of foreigners who are committing hideous crimes against our people. 1.00

00:11:42.500 Okay, good.

00:11:43.120 Okay, great.

00:11:43.640 I'm glad we can, I don't know, I didn't know if that was politically incorrect, but now you're allowed to speak.

00:11:48.160 Those are the two reasons that this is coming up right now.

00:11:50.440 But then the other question is, why cover it up?

00:11:55.500 Why, for instance, are the UK politicians so afraid?

00:11:58.300 Why is their greatest fear the backlash against peaceful Pakistanis or whatever?

00:12:02.200 Why cover up such a broad and particularly horrific crime?

00:12:10.740 Because I have the answer and I haven't heard anyone else say it.

00:12:13.640 Because the UK, as it is currently constituted, requires multiculturalism.

00:12:20.140 The UK needs to be multicultural.

00:12:21.640 In the middle of the 20th century, liberals in America hypnotized everyone and convinced us that America is really just an idea, that America is just a multicultural melting pot, and we don't have any kind of native stock, and we don't have any traditions, and we don't have any real history or culture.

00:12:39.760 But we're just, you know, a free-floating idea, and anyone who comes here five seconds later, they can just be American.

00:12:45.160 That was not the traditional understanding of America, but in the middle of the 20th century, that's what the liberals convinced us of.

00:12:49.920 Okay, you figure it was a continent that was discovered, conquered in the 17th century, so it's at least plausible.

00:12:59.180 The UK, hold on, England, the country of the Angles, the country that has a very long history, that has a very clear people, the English peoples.

00:13:10.200 You're telling me England is just an idea now?

00:13:12.380 When did England become just an idea?

00:13:14.780 Well, sometime around the same time, because America and England are pretty similar places, and our ideas flow freely one to another.

00:13:21.420 We share the same language, just about.

00:13:24.060 So, the English say, well, no, we're a multicultural country, too.

00:13:27.700 Forget about the English, forget about the Anglos, forget about English history. 1.00

00:13:31.000 No, no, no, we're just a multicultural country.

00:13:34.720 Also, much like in the United States, in the U.S., we have had a below-replacement birth rate since 1971.

00:13:41.540 In the U.K., they've had a below-replacement birth rate since 1972, almost exactly the same time.

00:13:47.260 England needs migrants to keep their welfare state and their economy afloat. 1.00

00:13:51.420 That was the calculation they made in the middle of the 20th century, and they started, in the latter part of the 20th century, taking in huge numbers of foreigners, and now they're there, and they have to do something. 0.81

00:14:05.100 They can either deport all of them, they can deport all of these Pakistanis in northern England, good luck, or they can just pretend that England is an idea, or they can now discourage mass migration, and their country can die because no one's having any kids. 1.00

00:14:18.740 I've harped on this issue of birth rates for years at this point.

00:14:25.760 And sometimes people, even who are on the right, they say, Michael, that's a little too extreme.

00:14:30.600 You think it's a bad idea, you know, okay, I get being anti-abortion, but you think it's a bad idea even to promote contraception, and you think it's a bad idea to discourage promiscuous, or you think it's a good idea to discourage promiscuous sex, 0.88

00:14:44.560 and you think, really, to quote Norm Macdonald, sex is a filthy, shameful thing that's obviously meant for procreation, and so on and so forth.

00:14:50.540 I don't know, isn't that extreme? 0.82

00:14:51.780 Isn't that very culturally and socially conservative?

00:14:54.360 It is culturally and socially conservative.

00:14:58.540 But you can't have any of the other conservatism without that.

00:15:01.700 So many of our social problems stem from these issues.

00:15:07.320 Our country is dying because it's literally dying.

00:15:10.440 It's not just our country, it's other countries like the UK, too.

00:15:12.600 Think about this.

00:15:14.780 We murder a million babies a year through abortion in the United States. 1.00

00:15:18.640 We are told by our political elites we need to take in a million legal immigrants a year to keep our economy afloat.

00:15:25.660 That is a one-to-one trade.

00:15:29.340 If we just didn't murder our babies, there would be no political and economic argument for the necessity of abortion, to say nothing of the illegal aliens. 0.99

00:15:39.640 If the UK had a thriving national identity and were having kids and had strong foundations, they would not have any, the libs would have no political argument to say, you need to take in roving gangs of psycho Pakistanis to rape your daughters. 1.00

00:15:57.680 There would be no argument for that because they'd say, no, we actually don't need to take in all these people.

00:16:02.600 But because the cultural rot sets in all the way down to the basic unit of politics, the family, because that rot sets in, so many other political problems flow from it.

00:16:13.180 Now, moving from the UK a little bit closer to home, Greenland is calling for independence from Denmark.

00:16:21.200 President Trump is Metternich.

00:16:22.940 He is the greatest grand strategist since, I don't know, the Treaty of Augsburg or something.

00:16:28.540 You know, Trump wants to buy Greenland.

00:16:30.600 And Trump floated this idea in his first term.

00:16:34.680 He's a real estate mogul.

00:16:36.060 This makes sense.

00:16:37.060 I'm sure he'll get a really good deal.

00:16:38.280 Maybe we could flip Greenland.

00:16:39.320 Who knows?

00:16:40.200 We could, you know, make a few improvements, repaint the walls, and we could sell it to China for twice as much.

00:16:45.080 No, we wouldn't do that.

00:16:45.780 We would buy Greenland because it's a strategic territory.

00:16:50.060 And there's no reason that Denmark, which currently controls Greenland, should own it.

00:16:54.100 What does Denmark have to do with this?

00:16:55.760 We're America.

00:16:56.280 We're the global hegemon.

00:16:57.420 Greenland is closer to us anyway.

00:16:58.480 Give us Greenland.

00:16:59.120 Denmark said no.

00:17:01.920 Trump reiterated at the beginning of the second term that he wants to buy Greenland.

00:17:05.960 Denmark once again says no.

00:17:09.360 So the leader of Greenland just came out and said, you know, we don't really want to be controlled by Denmark anymore.

00:17:15.880 Here's what he says.

00:17:17.280 Here in Greenland, we need to have some growth.

00:17:19.940 We need to have some economic growth and diversify our economy.

00:17:24.160 And, of course, we welcome our strong partners, like-minded nations as first.

00:17:30.380 But if they don't invest, there's a lot of companies who also want to invest in this country.

00:17:36.300 Oh, hold on.

00:17:37.220 Wait a second here.

00:17:38.020 That sounds like a guy who just heard President Trump.

00:17:41.300 No, we don't.

00:17:41.880 You know, there are other people who want to invest in the country.

00:17:43.940 Now, just to be clear, Prime Minister Muta Igid, I'm sure I'm mispronouncing that, did say, Greenland is ours.

00:17:53.840 We are not for sale.

00:17:54.760 We'll never be for sale.

00:17:55.760 We are not.

00:17:56.800 We must not lose our struggle for freedom.

00:18:00.500 So he's officially saying we do not want to sell to Donald Trump.

00:18:04.320 But you know what that sounds like to me?

00:18:07.440 That sounds like he's negotiating, is what it sounds like.

00:18:10.580 Trump says, I want to buy Greenland.

00:18:11.920 Denmark says, no way.

00:18:13.380 Greenland says, hey, Denmark, go take a hike.

00:18:15.620 We don't want you anymore.

00:18:16.480 We want new partners.

00:18:18.700 That reads to me like a guy who is very much interested in selling his country to Donald Trump.

00:18:25.640 Now, how many people are in Greenland?

00:18:29.320 There are 57,000 people in all of Greenland.

00:18:31.680 So it wouldn't be that hard.

00:18:35.840 You know, it's not like you're taking over China or Russia or something like that.

00:18:40.160 We've tried to buy Greenland before.

00:18:41.780 The United States tried to buy it in 1867.

00:18:44.400 We also tried to buy it after World War II.

00:18:46.220 Both times we were rebuffed.

00:18:49.060 Denmark hasn't even controlled Greenland all that long.

00:18:51.120 They've only officially controlled.

00:18:52.980 They've informally or in different political constitutions have had a relationship with Greenland going back many centuries.

00:19:01.020 But they've only officially controlled it for like 200 years or so.

00:19:04.880 So I don't think it'd be all that hard.

00:19:08.120 From the practical politics point, I think it would be good for us to acquire Greenland.

00:19:12.600 We should do it.

00:19:13.080 America expands.

00:19:14.160 We've done that since the early 17th century.

00:19:17.040 We should continue to do that.

00:19:18.580 We're the global hegemon.

00:19:19.560 We need to be tough.

00:19:20.200 We need to be strong.

00:19:20.860 So I'm cool with that.

00:19:22.140 But at a deeper political level, the most interesting thing about this story for me is this line.

00:19:29.060 He says, we must not lose our long struggle for freedom.

00:19:34.780 I was a history major in college.

00:19:36.700 I read the news a lot.

00:19:37.860 I keep up on things.

00:19:38.880 I must have missed the long-enduring historic struggle for freedom in Greenland.

00:19:46.720 Did you ever read about that?

00:19:48.220 I don't.

00:19:48.740 When I think of the great crusades for freedom, Greenland doesn't really make the top of the list for me.

00:19:55.980 What crusade for freedom?

00:19:58.720 They're a territory with like five people in it.

00:20:00.680 They've basically been run by Scandinavia parts east for seven or eight hundred years.

00:20:09.300 And now they might join the new global hegemon in the United States because we're a little bit closer.

00:20:14.900 But freedom?

00:20:17.020 It actually makes you think about how ridiculous so much modern liberal talk about freedom and liberation and autonomy is.

00:20:27.020 Not every political grouping of 50,000 people needs to be fully, totally autonomous.

00:20:35.560 In fact, not every grouping of 5 million people needs to be fully, totally, politically autonomous.

00:20:40.480 There's no such thing really ultimately as total liberation from everyone else.

00:20:45.480 Total autonomy.

00:20:46.440 I don't think that would be good.

00:20:47.380 That's what the libs talk about. 1.00

00:20:48.580 They want every 12-year-old child to be totally autonomous and free from his family.

00:20:53.200 To go, I don't know, get tattoos or chop off his body parts or do whatever.

00:20:57.300 But that's a very leftist idea. 0.93

00:20:59.160 That's a very liberal idea.

00:21:00.900 The conservative idea is you want proper control within its proper sphere in proper respects.

00:21:08.920 You want what we would say is subsidiarity.

00:21:12.300 You want decisions to be made at as local a level as they can competently be made.

00:21:16.940 You want something resembling federalism like we have in the United States.

00:21:21.040 But total independence?

00:21:22.800 Should every township in the United States be totally autonomous and independent?

00:21:25.900 Of course not.

00:21:27.020 They'd all fall apart.

00:21:29.820 Should every human being be totally autonomous and individual?

00:21:32.420 No, then we'd have anarchy.

00:21:33.820 We'd all fall apart.

00:21:34.420 And really, we would just become subject to tyrannies.

00:21:37.220 Because when we're all totally divided, we are much weaker and more vulnerable.

00:21:41.940 Bring it on.

00:21:42.660 Bring on Greenland.

00:21:44.040 Bring on the 51st state.

00:21:45.540 There's so much more to say.

00:21:46.580 First, though, go to preborn.com slash Knowles.

00:21:49.860 This Sanctity of Life Month, we honor the over 66 million babies whose lives have been tragically ended through abortion since Roe v. Wade.

00:21:59.460 Since Roe v. Wade was overturned, babies' lives are actually at an even greater risk because the abortion pill now accounts for over 60% of all abortions.

00:22:09.240 It makes this tragedy available 24-7.

00:22:12.760 In the midst of this darkness, there is a light that shines.

00:22:16.440 Preborn has rescued over 300,000 babies from abortion, and every day on average, they rescue 200-plus babies.

00:22:23.680 When a woman considering abortion hears her baby's heartbeat and sees her precious baby on ultrasound, her baby's chance at life is doubled.

00:22:31.200 I personally support Preborn as an organization.

00:22:33.960 I strongly encourage you to give however much money you can.

00:22:37.400 I think this is a great group, a top, top charity to support.

00:22:42.840 Preborn shares free heartbeats and God's love for mother and child.

00:22:46.320 They need our help for just $28, which is the cost of a dinner, not even in some places.

00:22:49.980 You can sponsor an ultrasound to introduce a mother to her baby for the first time.

00:22:54.820 100% of your donation will go towards saving babies.

00:22:57.840 Will you help?

00:22:58.660 Dial pound 250, say keyword baby, that is pound 250, keyword baby, or donate securely at preborn.com slash Knowles, preborn.com slash Canada W-L-E-S.

00:23:08.860 Speaking of the Trump agenda, good news coming out of the U.S. Senate, a phrase I rarely use.

00:23:13.760 Because the Senate majority leader, John Thune, says that Pete Hegseth, the defense secretary nominee, will get through.

00:23:23.200 This is according to news reports.

00:23:26.100 Now, a spokesman for leader Thune only told CBS News, quote, two things we don't discuss publicly, whip counts and private conversations with the president.

00:23:35.840 So they're saying no comment.

00:23:37.140 We're not going to say that.

00:23:38.880 However, he's not denying it either.

00:23:42.480 And I predicted this from the beginning.

00:23:44.940 I thought Pete Hegseth would get through.

00:23:47.400 I know the libs hate him. 0.98

00:23:48.640 I know they tried to smear him early on.

00:23:50.960 I thought he would get through.

00:23:52.880 I want Pete to get through, and I thought he would get through.

00:23:55.760 Broadly, the presidents should have a great deal of power to put in their people.

00:23:59.820 The American people voted for Donald Trump, not only in the electoral college, but the majority of Americans voted for Donald Trump.

00:24:05.960 He should get his picks.

00:24:08.260 If there's some particularly egregious pick, then the senators should flex their muscles.

00:24:13.040 But generally, they should defer to the president.

00:24:16.300 But at a broader point here, why I'm so happy to hear Pete getting through, beyond just that I like him and I think he'll do a good job.

00:24:24.920 Republicans need unity right now.

00:24:27.460 There is a time to every purpose under heaven.

00:24:30.400 Sometimes Republicans should be at each other's throats.

00:24:32.640 We should be attacking each other and fine-tuning on every little point, every point of policy, every point of philosophy, every point of religion, every point of this, every point of that.

00:24:42.180 There are moments for that.

00:24:43.520 I'm as guilty of that as any.

00:24:44.760 I engage in that frequently.

00:24:47.040 There are other moments when unity is called for.

00:24:50.320 Unity is a good thing.

00:24:53.880 Unity is a transcendental.

00:24:56.960 Unity is really, really important, okay?

00:25:01.300 And right now, as we head into January 6th, the Feast of the Epiphany and also the Solemnity of the Insurrection, it's January 6th.

00:25:10.320 We're going to certify the election.

00:25:11.680 We're getting ready for January 20th when Trump gets sworn in.

00:25:14.900 We are going to have 100 days to really get things through.

00:25:19.940 And we need to be totally unified.

00:25:23.300 I do not want Republican on Republican political violence, rhetorical violence, in that period.

00:25:30.740 Republicans are going to go right back to being divided, probably on day 101.

00:25:35.360 But we need unity now.

00:25:37.800 Or we are going to squander our historic opportunity, which is unified government, totally demoralized libs,

00:25:44.800 and a president who got elected by the popular vote for the first time in 20 years for a Republican.

00:25:49.860 We have a huge opportunity.

00:25:53.160 Republicans in the Senate and in the House and in the commentariat and everywhere,

00:25:58.540 be a little more circumspect in your battles for the next 100 days.

00:26:03.960 Let's just try to get anything accomplished, given the historic mandate that we have been given.

00:26:10.720 To that point, Mike Johnson has just been re-elected Speaker of the House.

00:26:15.760 There was talk that Johnson didn't have the votes.

00:26:19.140 It was going to be a big fight for the gavel.

00:26:21.140 A lot of conservatives are irritated at Johnson.

00:26:23.300 I totally understand why conservatives are irritated at Johnson.

00:26:27.120 But he won, and he won his election on the first ballot.

00:26:31.740 Remember McCarthy?

00:26:32.500 It took him, what, 15 ballots or something to hold on to that gavel,

00:26:35.020 and then he lost it eventually because Matt Gaetz fought him.

00:26:38.580 Well, Mike Johnson won it on the first gavel.

00:26:40.680 It was close, 218 to 215.

00:26:44.800 He had one Republican defecting.

00:26:47.020 That would be Thomas Massey, who's often listed as the most conservative,

00:26:51.680 most right-wing member of the House of Representatives.

00:26:55.400 But ultimately, there were a couple others who said they might defect.

00:26:59.920 That was Ralph Norman of South Carolina, Keith Self of Texas.

00:27:02.960 But Norman himself switched their votes.

00:27:05.140 They backed Johnson.

00:27:06.840 So only Massey stood against him.

00:27:08.840 Massey voted for Tom Emmer, the majority whip.

00:27:10.780 Okay, all the Democrats voted for Hakeem Jeffries, who's their leader.

00:27:15.400 But Johnson got it.

00:27:17.220 And I don't care.

00:27:17.840 You might be irritated with Johnson on the continuing resolution over Christmas.

00:27:22.140 You might be irritated with Johnson because he's given too much money to Ukraine.

00:27:26.260 You might be irritated with Johnson for any number of reasons.

00:27:29.480 But here was my question from the beginning.

00:27:31.360 Who else?

00:27:34.520 Who else was going to be the Speaker of the House?

00:27:37.980 Who among the people who plausibly could have been elected Speaker?

00:27:42.920 I'm not saying who in Congress or who in the whole country or who in the whole world would you prefer.

00:27:47.040 I'm saying who among the people who could plausibly have been elected Speaker would be better than Mike Johnson?

00:27:56.500 Who?

00:27:56.920 Someone say Thomas Massey.

00:27:58.100 Thomas Massey was not going to get elected Speaker.

00:28:00.660 Some people said Matt Gaetz.

00:28:02.020 They should seat him and he could go.

00:28:03.380 Matt Gaetz didn't want it.

00:28:04.740 He's not going back to Congress and he couldn't get elected Speaker.

00:28:08.180 Tom Emmer.

00:28:08.800 Do you think Tom Emmer would be better?

00:28:10.140 I don't know.

00:28:10.520 Maybe.

00:28:10.960 I don't know.

00:28:12.840 It's a horrible job.

00:28:14.160 It's probably the worst job in Washington, D.C.

00:28:15.900 I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

00:28:17.740 Some people have said, you know, we should pick, I don't know, Thomas Massey or Rand Paul from the Senate should come down to be Speaker of the House.

00:28:25.820 I guess anybody could be Speaker of the House.

00:28:27.360 Or Jim Jordan.

00:28:28.340 We like Jim Jordan.

00:28:29.280 Yeah, I love Jim Jordan.

00:28:30.500 That's why I don't want him to be Speaker.

00:28:32.260 Because I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, much less someone I like.

00:28:37.100 Among the people who could do that job, who do you think would really be all that?

00:28:43.500 I don't know.

00:28:43.880 To me, Trump wanted Mike Johnson.

00:28:47.240 I say give it to him.

00:28:48.940 Give him what he needs.

00:28:50.620 Given everything that we're up against, this multi-million person bureaucracy, this deep state that has tried to destroy his administration, prevent him from getting elected multiple times, justified his assassination, tried to kick him off the ballot, tried to put him in jail, raided his home.

00:29:05.680 You know, he's up against so much.

00:29:07.220 To say nothing of our foreign adversaries, I'm only talking about our domestic adversaries now.

00:29:10.580 He's up against so much.

00:29:12.480 Give the guy what he needs to have even a chance of succeeding for the first few months.

00:29:18.520 Okay?

00:29:18.900 And then everyone can go back to the circular firing squad, which I know the Republicans are going to go back to.

00:29:24.100 In the meantime, though, the Democrats are so demoralized.

00:29:28.640 Speaking of Congress, Chuck Schumer, Democrat leader in the Senate, just goes on NBC News, one of the propaganda arms for the Democrat Party.

00:29:39.000 And NBC News ain't really having it.

00:29:43.220 The Democrats are at each other's throats now because they just lost in so humiliating a way.

00:29:47.880 So NBC News asks Schumer, hey, man, you remember when you told us that you talked to Biden all the time and Biden was totally sharp and he had his wits about him and he didn't have dementia?

00:29:59.480 And he was, hey, like, do you want to apologize for lying to us?

00:30:04.600 I want to play you a little bit of something you said last year.

00:30:08.440 Take a look.

00:30:09.880 I talk to President Biden, you know, regularly or sometimes several times in a week or usually several times in a week.

00:30:18.140 His mental acuity is great.

00:30:20.120 It's fine.

00:30:21.220 It's as good as it's been over the years.

00:30:23.000 All this right wing propaganda that his mental acuity has declined is wrong.

00:30:27.160 Leader Schumer, what do you say to Americans who feel as though you and other top Democrats misled them about President Biden's mental acuity?

00:30:38.600 Look, we didn't.

00:30:39.800 And let's let's look.

00:30:40.880 Let's look at President Biden.

00:30:43.060 He's had an amazing record.

00:30:44.460 The legislation we passed, one of the most significant groups of legislation since the new since Lyndon Johnson's Great Society, putting in 235 judges, a record.

00:30:58.600 And he's a he's a patriot.

00:31:00.680 He's a great guy.

00:31:01.940 And when he stepped down, he did it on his own because he thought it was better not only for the Democratic Party, for America.

00:31:09.240 We should all salute him.

00:31:10.520 We should all salute him.

00:31:11.420 Do you feel as we have this conversation today that President Biden could serve another four years had he stayed in the race and potentially won?

00:31:21.340 Well, I'm not going to speculate.

00:31:24.880 Oh, you were speculating a few months ago, aren't you?

00:31:28.440 I love he says, hey, Joe Biden, he's a great guy.

00:31:33.260 Yeah, that's not what the question was.

00:31:34.920 The question was, why did you lie to us?

00:31:36.620 No.

00:31:36.960 Now, listen, hold on.

00:31:39.040 Joe Biden's a patriot.

00:31:40.300 No, no, we're not accusing him of being a bad guy.

00:31:42.560 We're accusing you of being a bad guy, Joe Schumer, because you lied to us.

00:31:45.680 And he said, you talk to Biden all the time and he's so sharp and he's so great.

00:31:50.360 And then kudos to NBC, because when Schumer totally evades the question and redirects, as is his wand, she asks, she says, OK, well, you're not going to answer my direct question.

00:32:02.180 OK, do you think Biden could continue to be president after January 20th?

00:32:06.380 I'm not going to speculate.

00:32:09.140 They've got such egg on their face.

00:32:11.900 They're so humiliated.

00:32:13.460 They're so demoralized.

00:32:16.000 It's going to take them a minute to recover from this loss.

00:32:20.020 It's going to they I'm not saying that they're totally destroyed.

00:32:23.000 They're not totally destroyed.

00:32:23.980 I'm not saying that the left wing coalition is cracked up or that they're not going to come roaring back or that Trump isn't going to face challenges.

00:32:29.840 All I'm saying is.

00:32:32.580 They've lost a step.

00:32:33.960 They missed a step here.

00:32:35.100 OK, they're off footed.

00:32:36.180 And we need to pounce on that opportunity. 0.97

00:32:39.920 We need to kick them while they're down. 1.00

00:32:41.800 It's like in blackjack. 0.69

00:32:43.480 If you want to have a chance of winning in blackjack, you have to know when to hit, when to double down, when to split.

00:32:52.100 You have to know when to pull your specific moves.

00:32:56.300 If all you do is just hit, stand, hit, stand, hit, stand, you're going to lose all your money.

00:33:00.960 You have to know.

00:33:01.720 To quote other lyrics about card games, you have to know when to hold them, know when to fold them, know when to walk away, know when to run.

00:33:09.720 And now's the time to just hit them. 0.99

00:33:12.080 Just hit them, guys. 0.99

00:33:13.000 They are even Chuck Schumer on NBC. 0.75

00:33:17.220 Turns beat red, practically, because he's got no answer.

00:33:20.660 Now, speaking of absurdity on TV, I somehow stumbled across a Netflix commercial for the Meghan Markle show.

00:33:32.220 I don't know what mistakes I made over my little Christmas break here that led me.

00:33:37.520 I don't know what errors have gone on in advertising that allowed Netflix to serve me this commercial.

00:33:44.560 But this is the new show that Netflix is promoting with the American actress who became a duchess, who tried to destroy the royal family, which then booted them out of England, who seems to be detested by just about everyone in public.

00:34:01.820 This is the show that they've made with her.

00:34:05.560 Let's make a show.

00:34:09.980 Let's go.

00:34:11.140 I've always loved taking something pretty ordinary and elevating it.

00:34:19.340 Surprising people with moments that let them know I was really thinking of them.

00:34:25.240 What?

00:34:26.200 This is probably one of the most glamorous moments of my life.

00:34:29.760 It's magic.

00:34:31.360 I'm going to share some little tips and tricks.

00:34:34.740 I see what color I gravitate to, and everything goes from there.

00:34:38.300 And how you can incorporate these practices every day.

00:34:42.780 That's what you want.

00:34:43.760 You want that shape and texture.

00:34:46.500 Come on.

00:34:48.700 This is about connecting with friends.

00:34:51.700 I love that we're doing this together for the first time.

00:34:54.280 Making new friends.

00:34:56.380 That is so good.

00:34:57.640 We're family now.

00:34:58.420 I'm just learning.

00:35:01.320 Look at how much honey we have. 0.63

00:35:03.240 Do you believe in life?

00:35:05.400 We're not in the pursuit of perfection.

00:35:08.840 Woke us all up.

00:35:10.160 We're in the pursuit of joy.

00:35:12.260 Love is in the details.

00:35:13.740 I have to do it totally wrong to get it totally right.

00:35:17.760 I am, and this is, I'm not exaggerating.

00:35:22.220 I'm not just saying this for rhetorical effect.

00:35:24.280 I am physically nauseated watching that clip.

00:35:27.900 That is like a parody of what that show should be.

00:35:33.080 I had to get it totally wrong to get it totally right.

00:35:35.800 I just love, really one of my favorite things is doing small, wonderful acts of charity and kindness for people to let them know I'm thinking of them.

00:35:42.600 And, you know, I love, what?

00:35:48.860 Love, Megan.

00:35:49.680 Someone pointed out on Twitter, I forget who it was, the woman who destroyed her in-law's family, whose own family doesn't like her, whose in-laws obviously don't like her, the public doesn't like her. 1.00

00:36:00.200 She seems to be one of the more vindictive, nasty figures in public life. 1.00

00:36:07.280 What's the title of her show?

00:36:08.180 Love, Love, Megan.

00:36:09.300 Who wants to watch Megan Markle bake a pie? 1.00

00:36:13.260 Even in the commercial, what's really wrong with this is, all the little clips of her seem to attempt to show some reticence or some kind of meekness.

00:36:26.280 They want her to appear demure and modest.

00:36:31.300 And so, she, you know, has a modest little giggle or something.

00:36:34.600 But the act of making a TV show about herself is not modest.

00:36:41.020 It's not demure.

00:36:42.820 It's not, she's not reluctant to speak.

00:36:46.360 She really wants attention.

00:36:48.540 And so, this is the problem.

00:36:50.760 This is really her biggest PR problem that she thinks she can hire consultants to solve or hire Netflix to solve, but it's not going to work.

00:36:58.160 She was a pretend princess.

00:37:00.400 She was an actress.

00:37:01.500 Actresses are people who play princesses on TV. 0.97

00:37:04.680 She then became a real princess.

00:37:06.740 But she didn't like being a real princess because pretend princesses and real princesses might look the same.

00:37:15.800 They might wear the same costumes, but their lives are totally antithetical one to another.

00:37:20.160 To be a real princess is to focus your life on the service of others, is to be elegant, and to comport yourself with dignity, and to restrain your individual desires, and to deny your autonomy, and to be a public figure serving the public without any particular care for yourself.

00:37:42.180 To be a pretend princess, to be an actress, is to totally indulge your selfish desires, and do whatever you want, and be glamorous, and live for the tabloids, and beg for people's attention.

00:37:53.580 They're totally antithetical.

00:37:56.400 But now, she's stuck because she was an actress who became a real princess, who wants to be an actress again, but has to continue to pretend to be a real princess.

00:38:06.080 The job of a royal is, in many ways, to be boring.

00:38:13.180 The job of an actress is to get eyeballs. 1.00

00:38:15.920 You can't do both at once, and she's trying to split the baby. 1.00

00:38:20.520 She's a classic example of the modern woman, which is she wants to have it all. 1.00

00:38:25.480 You can't have it all.

00:38:27.160 You can have a wonderful, glorious life.

00:38:29.660 You can have all virtue.

00:38:31.200 You can have all sorts of things together.

00:38:32.680 But you can't have opposites at the same time.

00:38:37.740 You can't, to use the clearest example, devote your whole life to a career and devote your whole life to your family.

00:38:42.820 It's not going to work.

00:38:44.040 You have to pick one or try to find some balance that you'll probably find unsatisfying.

00:38:48.580 You can't.

00:38:49.940 Aristotle, once again, vindicated.

00:38:51.880 The law of non-contradiction, totally vindicated.

00:38:53.980 You can't simultaneously be things that are opposites.

00:38:58.380 This show is so awful looking.

00:39:50.560 My favorite comment yesterday is from Kenny Kos 744 who says,

00:39:55.640 So if Tesla vehicles can be remotely controlled, could this one have been driven remotely and the man found inside was already dead when it arrived at the site where it exploded?

00:40:04.000 That's a really good question.

00:40:06.480 He's referring to the Cybertruck exploding at the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas. 0.97

00:40:10.980 Really good question.

00:40:11.960 I don't know if that happened.

00:40:15.200 It's certainly possible.

00:40:16.260 I don't know if that happened.

00:40:17.500 The one thing I can tell you is if it did happen, you almost certainly will never find out about it.

00:40:23.060 I guess my argument for this is,

00:40:25.280 remember that terror attack in Las Vegas that seemed like it had been carried out by multiple shooters with machine guns,

00:40:32.540 and then we were told it was just some weird loner with a bump stock who somehow managed to spray zillions of bullets down,

00:40:38.560 and we just never really learned much of anything about it.

00:40:40.820 And that was years ago, and we're never going to learn anything about it.

00:40:43.920 I think this is a similar situation.

00:40:46.040 Hold on, a guy who's an active duty Green Beret who's on leave from Germany,

00:40:51.200 rents this car, shoots himself in the head, and then blows up the truck,

00:40:54.600 and they can identify him because he had his passport on him for some reason,

00:40:58.280 and the passport survived, and he was a Trump supporter, and hold on, what?

00:41:04.600 Yeah.

00:41:06.780 Maybe some intrepid journalist will uncover something,

00:41:09.040 but as of now, the more we learn about it, the weirder it seems,

00:41:15.120 which makes me think we're not going to get an answer.

00:41:17.700 Speaking of journalists, speaking of broadcast media,

00:41:23.040 local news is reportedly moving to delete old crime stories.

00:41:27.540 This is a story from The Guardian.

00:41:31.340 U.S. newspapers are deleting old crime stories, offering subjects a clean slate.

00:41:35.560 Why is this?

00:41:39.520 Because more than 70 million Americans, according to The Guardian,

00:41:42.980 have prior convictions or arrests.

00:41:44.760 That means roughly one in three American adults has been arrested or convicted of a crime.

00:41:50.940 And they can go on, and they can, in principle, get a job and have a life,

00:41:57.080 but for this one problem, which is that now we have the internet, and the internet is forever.

00:42:02.820 So it used to be local papers, where local papers still exist,

00:42:06.680 would report on, oh, there was a carjacking, there was a burglary, this guy gets arrested, whatever.

00:42:11.300 But in the old days, it'd be in the newspaper, it'd be out of the newspaper.

00:42:15.480 There would still be records at the library, but it'd be really hard to dig up.

00:42:18.480 Now, though, if you commit some crime when you're 18, whatever, you get in a bar fight or something,

00:42:25.220 you get arrested, when you go to apply for a job, someone's going to Google you.

00:42:29.560 And for most people, that could be the top result on Google.

00:42:34.520 Now, you can pay services to try to wipe you from the internet.

00:42:38.440 It's a little trickier, but local news is now going to say,

00:42:41.460 okay, we're going to wipe old crime stories.

00:42:44.260 I get the impetus for it.

00:42:46.240 Don't call me a bleeding heart liberal, but I actually think we need to do a better job in America

00:42:50.320 at reintegrating criminals.

00:42:52.640 Right now, we have the worst of all worlds.

00:42:54.800 We don't arrest criminals for committing crimes.

00:42:58.260 When we do arrest criminals, we don't imprison them a lot of the time,

00:43:02.040 especially if they fit certain favored demographic traits,

00:43:06.040 especially if they're in liberal cities with George Soros appointed DAs or funded DAs.

00:43:11.180 So we don't arrest them.

00:43:13.020 When we do arrest them, we don't really imprison them.

00:43:15.040 We let them back on the street.

00:43:16.240 They commit all sorts of crimes.

00:43:17.340 We don't discourage them from committing crimes in the first place by enforcing standards on the streets.

00:43:21.360 But once people have been convicted of a crime and have been to prison,

00:43:26.620 we basically never let them get over it.

00:43:30.560 One of the men I most admire back in New York killed a guy and went to prison for it.

00:43:36.540 And in prison, he was converted.

00:43:38.640 He totally turned his life around.

00:43:40.480 And he's a wonderful man and a very charitable man and goes to daily mass.

00:43:46.120 And he's incredible, an incredible figure.

00:43:47.540 It would be a pity if someone goes to the correctional facilities and they really do turn their lives around,

00:43:57.500 but they can never be reintegrated into society.

00:43:59.860 It seems to me the way to deal with that, though, is not to deny that bad things have happened.

00:44:06.080 It's not to just delete the stories.

00:44:07.920 It's not to be George Orwell's 1984 and memory hole what happened.

00:44:13.600 Ultimately, I don't think it works, and it's not really fair to employers.

00:44:17.400 Employers have a right to know about their people's background.

00:44:19.600 I think the only way is to take redemption seriously,

00:44:25.300 and the only way to take redemption seriously is to take crime seriously.

00:44:29.060 This is an important part of the gospel.

00:44:31.960 This is an important part of religion, which is before you hear the good news, you have to hear the bad news.

00:44:39.000 I'm not the first to observe it.

00:44:40.420 If you want the good news of the gospel, you need the bad news of your sin, okay?

00:44:45.560 And if you want the good news at a political level of bringing a society back and making it healthy and flourishing again,

00:44:52.260 you need the bad news, which is that we have a ton of criminals, and they do a lot of really terrible things.

00:44:58.160 And there's always crime, and there's always brokenness in this fallen world,

00:45:01.940 but we're at a particularly bad moment, okay?

00:45:06.000 You know, just to use one example, we kill over a million babies a year.

00:45:10.420 One in four women has murdered her own child. 1.00

00:45:13.380 I think there's redemption available from that.

00:45:15.560 But to get the good news, you have to first understand the bad news.

00:45:19.680 I think our country could be great again.

00:45:21.460 I really do.

00:45:21.980 I'm not a total doomer about the country.

00:45:24.480 But to get the good news of making our country great again, you need to accept the bad news.

00:45:29.300 We're doing really bad things.

00:45:30.840 We're off.

00:45:31.500 We need to fix something about our thinking and our behavior.

00:45:35.540 Now, speaking of dystopian, I have another story that I teased on Friday, and I'm still not going to get to,

00:45:40.240 but maybe I'll try to get to it tomorrow, because it's a really good story.

00:45:42.680 Bill Gates' foundation is turning mosquitoes into flying syringes to vaccinate people without their will and without their knowledge.

00:45:49.160 That is such a crazy story, but I don't have time to get to it today, so we're going to have to get it.

00:45:53.880 But it's crazy.

00:45:54.760 It's spooky.

00:45:55.900 And I have controversial thoughts on it, but we'll have to get to it tomorrow.

00:45:58.060 Because today, we are back in studio.

00:46:01.600 It is January 6th, a very holy feast, and it is also Music Monday.

00:46:07.220 So the rest of the show continues now.
