00:00:37.780 While Congress was certifying Donald Trump as our next president,

00:00:40.880 the liberal prime minister of America's evil top hat, Justin Trudeau, was resigning.

00:00:45.900 Spoiler alert, the two events are related.

00:00:48.940 Plus, this is unrelated, a couple Antifa terrorists who tried to blow me up in Pittsburgh

00:00:53.520 just got sentenced in federal court.

00:00:56.100 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:00:57.260 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:13.280 Welcome back to the show.

00:01:19.180 Bill Gates is turning mosquitoes into flying syringes to vaccinate people potentially against

00:01:26.840 their will and without their knowledge.

00:01:29.140 This is a story I've been trying to get to for weeks on the show, and I keep running out

00:01:35.940 of time.

00:01:36.280 So we will get to it today, I hope.

00:01:39.460 There's so much more to say.

00:01:40.440 First, though, go to helixsleep.com slash Knowles.

00:01:42.660 I had a real revelation the other day.

00:01:46.060 I was lying on my son's Helix Sleep mattress, and I was thinking about how comfortable all

00:01:52.540 the Helix Sleep mattresses are.

00:01:54.080 But I realized I have a problem, which is that in my guest room, I have a mattress that

00:02:00.320 is not a Helix Sleep mattress.

00:02:02.040 It's just there.

00:02:02.740 It's just, you know, an older mattress.

00:02:04.200 And I haven't thought about it very much because what do I care?

00:02:06.920 It's the guests.

00:02:07.380 You know, I keep the good Helix for our stuff, you know, but for the guests, I said, but

00:02:12.620 I realized that's not right.

00:02:17.080 I need to just, I just need to go all Helix, okay?

00:02:22.620 I should not be depriving my beloved family members and my guests of what is, to my mind,

00:02:28.580 the greatest mattress company in the country, and that is Helix Sleep.

00:02:33.120 Right now is actually the perfect time to upgrade your sleep because Helix is offering

00:02:36.420 an incredible deal.

00:02:37.860 Go to helixsleep.com slash Knowles, K-N-A-W-L-E-S, to get 25% off site-wide plus two free dream

00:02:43.760 pillows with any mattress purchase.

00:02:45.340 That is helixsleep.com slash Knowles for 25% off site-wide plus two free dream pillows

00:02:51.300 with any mattress purchase.

00:02:53.880 It's so good, it'll make you even more charitable and make you want to give the gift of Helix even

00:03:00.900 beyond your own bed.

00:03:02.920 helixsleep.com slash Knowles.

00:03:04.580 The arc of history is long, but it bends toward justice.

00:03:10.920 However that liberal line goes, it's happened.

00:03:15.440 Mr. Trudeau up in America's evil top hat is finally leaving office as the top politician

00:03:23.920 in Canada.

00:03:24.560 Over the holidays, I've also had a chance to reflect and have had long talks with my family

00:03:32.320 about our future.

00:03:34.340 Throughout the course of my career, any success I have personally achieved has been because

00:03:40.060 of their support and with their encouragement.

00:03:43.000 So last night over dinner, I told my kids about the decision that I'm sharing with you today.

00:03:52.580 I intend to resign as party leader, as prime minister, after the party selects its next leader

00:04:00.920 through a robust nationwide competitive process.

00:04:05.660 It's over.

00:04:07.920 For the first time since 1959, a Castro is no longer running a country in the Western Hemisphere. 1.00

00:04:17.180 That was at least my first take, but then I was corrected because apparently Xiomara Castro

00:04:23.620 is the president of Honduras.

00:04:25.300 So the Castro legacy lingers on.

00:04:27.620 I actually have one unpopular opinion about the overall excellent news that Castro is,

00:04:35.340 that was a Freudian slip, that Trudeau is stepping down.

00:04:39.240 And my unpopular opinion is this.

00:04:41.840 I think there is a chance that Justin Trudeau is in fact Pierre Trudeau's son and is in fact

00:04:49.460 not the love child of Trudeau's mother and Fidel Castro.

00:04:53.400 I think there is a chance.

00:04:54.780 I want to be very clear.

00:04:55.860 I'm not saying it is likely that Justin is Pierre Trudeau's son, but I think there is

00:05:00.320 a chance that Justin Trudeau is not the son of a Cuban dictator.

00:05:08.120 What I know for certain though, is that this awful leader of Canada is about to leave office.

00:05:14.800 And the reason he's leaving office is because Trump won.

00:05:20.040 The decision to resign on January 6th, the worst day in the history of the world, and the day

00:05:25.160 yesterday when Trump's election was certified, that's no coincidence.

00:05:30.420 It's no mere coincidence.

00:05:33.220 Trudeau is not resigning because he went down to Mar-a-Lago to beg Donald Trump for leniency

00:05:37.860 on potential tariffs and he was rebuffed.

00:05:40.620 And that's, he's resigning because he's been in office a long time.

00:05:44.600 This brand of liberalism, the, the Barack Obama, Justin Trudeau, millennial kind of liberalism

00:05:54.120 has been around for a long time now and it's over.

00:05:59.420 2016 was the beginning of the end for that brand of liberalism.

00:06:02.700 They got a reprieve in 2020.

00:06:04.040 The re-election of Donald Trump to a non-consecutive second term, coupled with Brexit, coupled with

00:06:12.120 the election of George Maloney in Italy, coupled with the victories of Viktor Orban in Hungary,

00:06:16.640 coupled with the rise of right-wing parties in France and Germany and Spain, hopefully

00:06:22.020 sooner in a more, in a stronger way in Spain.

00:06:25.260 All of that is to say, the Trudeau stuff, it's done, okay?

00:06:31.700 It's, it's signaling that that is over.

00:06:34.020 It's not that Trudeau is resigning because he got into a fight with Donald Trump, but

00:06:39.460 Trump won and Trump signifies something, a shift in global politics, certainly in the

00:06:44.660 West and Trump also propels that shift.

00:06:49.900 He's, he's also an active player in that shift and Trudeau's time is finished.

00:06:54.660 The, the whole class of Obama liberals in geopolitics, their time is over.

00:06:59.880 So Trump is wasting no time here, suggesting that while Canada undergoes this political

00:07:05.880 change, they might consider just being annexed by the United States.

00:07:09.300 Here's what Trump said on Truth Social.

00:07:12.000 Many people in Canada love being the 51st state.

00:07:15.800 The United States can no longer suffer the massive trade deficits and subsidies that Canada

00:07:19.660 needs to stay afloat.

00:07:20.700 Well, Justin Trudeau knew this and resigned.

00:07:24.420 If Canada merged with the U.S., there would be no tariffs, taxes would go way down, and

00:07:29.100 they would be totally secure from the threat of the Russian and Chinese ships that are constantly 1.00

00:07:33.220 surrounding them.

00:07:34.300 Together, what a great nation we would be.

00:07:37.300 So true.

00:07:38.880 So true. 0.99

00:07:39.480 People are going to say, oh, Trump is being silly here. 0.98

00:07:41.920 He's, he's being extreme and provocative. 0.97

00:07:44.020 Some people call the independence of Canada, Washington's biggest mistake.

00:07:50.320 Had George Washington just kept on pressing, we could have held Canada.

00:07:54.660 And Canada is effectively the 51st state.

00:07:56.800 They're totally dependent on the United States.

00:07:58.660 So just notice a theme to President Trump's transition.

00:08:04.100 Yes, we're talking about domestic issues.

00:08:05.660 Yes, we're talking about taxes and all the rest of it.

00:08:07.900 But there's a big focus here on foreign affairs and also on expansion.

00:08:14.380 Trump is talking about retaking the Panama Canal.

00:08:16.920 We certainly should retake the Panama Canal.

00:08:19.120 The Panama Canal was ours.

00:08:21.160 We're the chief people who use it.

00:08:22.740 We're the global hegemon.

00:08:23.800 We're certainly the hegemon in the hemisphere.

00:08:26.440 We gave it away for some reason, like 40 years ago, and we should take it back.

00:08:29.940 It's crazy that we don't have the Panama Canal.

00:08:32.260 The Greenland proposal, that's a good proposal.

00:08:35.380 Why does Denmark get Greenland?

00:08:36.820 Greenland doesn't even want to be ruled by Denmark.

00:08:39.800 We should have Greenland.

00:08:41.480 And then Canada is probably a little bit more of a stretch.

00:08:44.460 And you'd have to integrate a number of people who are like Justin Trudeau.

00:08:49.220 That's unpleasant.

00:08:50.620 Probably we'd have to learn a little French, un petit peu.

00:08:53.520 That would be a little tricky.

00:08:54.480 But again, why not?

00:08:57.600 The liberal mind, the liberal Westphalian UN mind

00:09:02.440 pretends that every nation of the world is exactly the same.

00:09:07.700 But we're all just nations, and we all get a seat at the United Nations.

00:09:10.720 Are you kidding me?

00:09:12.340 Canada is an appendage of the United States.

00:09:16.220 When I call Canada America's evil top hat, I am like 3% joking.

00:09:20.720 It is an ornament on the United States.

00:09:25.080 So if they're totally dependent on us anyway, I don't know.

00:09:27.460 Why don't we, I'm not saying we make them a state.

00:09:29.400 Why don't we make them like Puerto Rico or Guam or something? 0.88

00:09:31.620 Just a thought.

00:09:33.260 In every joke, there's always a little bit of truth.

00:09:35.580 And Trump tells a lot of jokes.

00:09:36.700 Now, at the same time that all this was happening up in the top hat,

00:09:42.580 in the United States, President Trump's victory in 2024 was being certified

00:09:47.680 by the U.S. Congress, specifically by the woman that he defeated, Kamala Harris.

00:09:56.020 The votes for President of the United States are as follows.

00:10:00.120 Donald J. Trump of the state of Florida has received 312 votes.

00:10:04.940 Kamala Harris of the state of California has received 226 votes.

00:10:34.940 But that's not enough.

00:10:37.400 So Trump's the president.

00:10:38.580 Okay.

00:10:39.600 She made history.

00:10:41.780 She made history.

00:10:43.740 Kamala Harris is the first woman of color to ever certify her own election laws 0.99

00:10:51.620 in a presidential election.

00:10:54.380 Look, that's something.

00:10:56.280 I think she was looking for a different mark in history,

00:10:59.020 a different glass ceiling to break.

00:11:00.760 But that's impressive.

00:11:01.480 She's not the first vice president to certify his own laws.

00:11:07.220 That's happened before.

00:11:08.380 It's happened within recent memory, Al Gore.

00:11:11.280 But she's the first Indian and black Afro-Caribbean woman 1.00

00:11:20.480 who certified her own election laws.

00:11:24.500 Okay.

00:11:25.180 Good job.

00:11:25.920 Sounds good.

00:11:26.440 No big deal.

00:11:26.860 There were no insurrections yesterday.

00:11:30.880 There were no tiny little insurrections like, you know,

00:11:33.820 when the Horn Hat guy got a private tour of the Capitol by Capitol Police.

00:11:37.380 There were no serious insurrections either,

00:11:39.580 like the many, many other leftist attacks that have included explosives

00:11:42.600 on the Capitol within the last century,

00:11:44.760 or like the BLM insurrection,

00:11:47.420 or like the time the Libs torched D.C.

00:11:49.680 when President Trump was elected the first time.

00:11:52.500 There was none of that.

00:11:54.480 And the reason is Trump won in a landslide.

00:11:58.720 He won in an electoral college landslide,

00:12:00.720 as you just heard Kamala Harris admit.

00:12:03.740 He won the popular vote.

00:12:05.380 He just won everything.

00:12:06.940 He ran ahead of the senators.

00:12:08.320 He just won.

00:12:09.740 So there was no verve.

00:12:13.300 There was no fervor for any kind of protest.

00:12:19.060 Trudeau's going to resign.

00:12:20.520 It's over for now, guys.

00:12:22.380 The left is going to lick its wounds and regroup.

00:12:24.560 And while the left is licking its wounds, 1.00

00:12:26.080 that is when we need to kick them, 1.00

00:12:27.480 because they're most vulnerable. 0.80

00:12:28.660 They're more vulnerable now than I've seen them at any point in my lifetime.

00:12:32.500 So keep up the pressure, folks.

00:12:35.520 There's so much more to say.

00:13:57.060 Now that President Trump is officially the president-elect,

00:14:02.120 there is a report out.

00:14:04.120 I don't know.

00:14:04.720 This was going around social media.

00:14:07.060 We don't have the direct words of the president.

00:14:08.940 I take everything that people report about President Trump

00:14:11.280 with a grain of salt.

00:14:12.120 However, it was reported yesterday

00:14:14.780 that President Trump is open to talking about the dreamers

00:14:19.600 when it comes to deportations and immigration.

00:14:23.400 The dreamers are the people who are brought over 0.62

00:14:26.180 to the United States as minors,

00:14:28.580 but they're illegal aliens.

00:14:30.240 They've been in the,

00:14:30.640 and so according to the reports,

00:14:32.880 again, take it with a grain of salt.

00:14:34.560 Trump is open to talking about the dreamers.

00:14:36.120 And I think that there are plenty of useful,

00:14:41.300 productive ways to talk about the dreamers.

00:14:44.500 Adios.

00:14:45.340 That's one way.

00:14:46.880 Hasta luego.

00:14:47.760 That's another way to talk about the dreamers.

00:14:50.020 Hasta la vista.

00:14:50.800 My Spanish is not great.

00:14:53.180 My Italian is better.

00:14:54.340 Little touch of French, 0.76

00:14:55.140 little touch of Latin.

00:14:56.580 But right off the top of my head,

00:14:59.320 those are three great ways to talk about the dreamers.

00:15:01.520 And that's the only way I want to talk about the dreamers right now.

00:15:03.500 There are going to be leftists who say,

00:15:07.960 that's a heartless take,

00:15:08.980 Michael.

00:15:09.460 Heartless.

00:15:10.540 These poor kids,

00:15:12.100 these poor kids who are brought over through no fault of their own.

00:15:14.720 You want to deport these kids.

00:15:17.480 The dreamer kids,

00:15:20.020 the DACA kids,

00:15:20.940 are in their mid-40s right now.

00:15:24.920 What is the dreamer?

00:15:25.960 The dreamer is a euphemism cooked up by Barack Obama and the left.

00:15:29.380 That then became law through an unconstitutional executive order,

00:15:36.680 giving amnesty to people who were brought over to the United States as minors,

00:15:43.100 who were under the age of 31 in 2012.

00:15:47.900 These are people who are maybe 43, 44 years old right now.

00:15:53.320 Should they be the first on the list to be deported?

00:15:55.780 No, of course not.

00:15:56.600 Nobody thinks that.

00:15:58.180 You're going to hear some people on the right,

00:16:00.600 conservatives,

00:16:01.260 Republicans who say,

00:16:01.980 well,

00:16:02.360 it wasn't their fault when they came here.

00:16:03.900 They've been here for so many years,

00:16:05.580 so many decades.

00:16:06.560 They don't have much connection to their country of origin.

00:16:09.540 Maybe we should let them go.

00:16:12.760 I don't want to hear a word about amnesty for DACA or dreamers, 1.00

00:16:18.060 or how I hear this from some people who have no idea what they're talking about.

00:16:21.660 They say,

00:16:22.040 the dreamers are more American than many American citizens.

00:16:26.180 What does that mean?

00:16:27.300 That only makes sense if America is not a country.

00:16:31.160 If America is an idea, 0.88

00:16:32.960 like the liberals say,

00:16:34.620 if America is just an idea,

00:16:36.260 then that makes sense.

00:16:38.100 Then someone in Timbuktu could be more American than a descendant of the pilgrims.

00:16:44.000 But if America is a country, 0.94

00:16:45.360 silly me, 0.68

00:16:45.820 I thought America was a country, 0.96

00:16:47.960 then that doesn't make any sense.

00:16:50.140 But you're going to hear that.

00:16:51.120 You're going to hear,

00:16:51.360 these people are more American than apple pie.

00:16:53.200 These people,

00:16:54.420 they're children.

00:16:55.160 They deserve to be here.

00:16:56.000 They're dreamers.

00:16:56.740 They have dreams.

00:16:57.520 You don't have dreams.

00:16:58.200 You're not allowed to have dreams,

00:16:59.080 but they have dreams.

00:16:59.880 I don't want to hear a word about that until we deport all the criminals until we secure the border until we deport the people who came over as economic migrants, 1.00

00:17:12.080 as adults until we deport tens of millions of people.

00:17:20.340 At least single millions of people.

00:17:22.720 I don't want to hear peep about we need to give amnesty to the dreamers. 0.99

00:17:27.080 Here's the problem.

00:17:28.320 What would I be willing to do?

00:17:30.680 If you were telling,

00:17:31.880 I'm not negotiating right now.

00:17:33.660 I'm just sitting down.

00:17:34.580 I'm telling you this would be my ideal policy.

00:17:36.820 We would deport the vast majority of these people. 0.73

00:17:40.760 And then you'd get to some hard cases of people who have been here since they were two months old and they're very American and they vote Republican.

00:17:48.060 They're all around great guys.

00:17:50.040 And you'd say,

00:17:51.560 all right,

00:17:51.800 you know what?

00:17:52.240 We can't grant you citizenship. 1.00

00:17:55.240 We can't grant you amnesty because that would create a perverse incentive that would exacerbate the trouble at the border.

00:18:01.900 It would give millions more people reason to break our laws. 0.55

00:18:07.660 So we can't do that.

00:18:08.480 But I'll tell you what,

00:18:09.400 we won't deport you.

00:18:10.320 We'll just continue the status quo as it's been.

00:18:13.260 And you can live here,

00:18:14.200 but we're not going to single you out to deport you,

00:18:17.580 but we're not going to create perverse incentives.

00:18:20.380 I would be willing to do that for a very,

00:18:22.860 very small number of people who were brought over as infants and yada yada.

00:18:27.760 The problem is the Democrats won't let us do that.

00:18:31.400 The Democrats won't let us do that because the minute they come back into power,

00:18:36.660 they're going to give blanket amnesty to all of these people and they're going to put them on a pathway to citizenship and they're going to give them the right to vote.

00:18:43.220 And they're going to do this because they think it's going to give them a permanent electoral majority and a very well might.

00:18:47.420 That's the problem.

00:18:49.040 I would be willing to grant a little clemency, have a little mercy, give a little grace.

00:18:55.400 I would be willing to do that.

00:18:56.420 Many conservatives would.

00:18:57.700 The Democrats won't let us do that.

00:18:59.480 And unfortunately, the Swiss Republicans aren't going to let us do it either because the Swiss Republicans are going to say,

00:19:07.340 no, no, no, America's just an idea.

00:19:09.840 No, no, no.

00:19:11.020 Illegal aliens are not multiples more likely to vote for Democrats.

00:19:15.080 No, no, no.

00:19:17.000 Cultures are not allowed to have cohesion and we're not allowed to encourage assimilation. 0.97

00:19:21.580 And no, no, no.

00:19:22.560 We have to give amnesty and citizenship to foreign nationals who are brought over here, 1.00

00:19:27.460 encouraged by cynical Democrats to give them the win.

00:19:32.500 Because those squishes are thrilled to be the court jesters in the kingdom of liberalism 1.00

00:19:37.220 and the minority partner in the American political project, which is run by liberal Democrats.

00:19:42.740 That's it.

00:19:43.340 That's why I don't want to hear it out of the Republicans.

00:19:47.360 I don't want to hear it from anyone.

00:19:49.540 Don't say the word dreamer.

00:19:50.960 First of all, don't say the word dreamer ever. 0.69

00:19:52.320 It's a ridiculous euphemism cooked up by the left to rig the immigration debate.

00:19:56.360 But don't even mention these people until you've deported millions and millions of foreign 0.99

00:20:02.660 nationals living in our country illegally.

00:20:05.160 Now, speaking of people who should not be walking around the U.S., there's good news and 0.60

00:20:11.520 bad news, and it pertains to me.

00:20:14.480 When I was at the University of Pittsburgh at a speaking event about two, not quite two

00:20:19.560 years ago now, someone tried to blow me up.

00:20:22.400 A couple tried to blow me up.

00:20:24.780 Brian DePippa and his wife.

00:20:26.560 I forget his wife's name.

00:20:28.220 Crystal Martinez DePippa.

00:20:29.760 These are two anarchists who are serious anarchists, like members of an anarchist cell.

00:20:35.620 Like this guy, Brian DePippa, was held up at airports twice because they found explosive

00:20:41.880 residue on his clothing.

00:20:43.700 And then, of course, they just let him through.

00:20:45.720 We're talking hardcore anarchists.

00:20:47.560 These guys showed up to my speaking event to blow me up.

00:20:51.100 And then when they couldn't get at me because the cops did a very good job at the University

00:20:55.460 of Pittsburgh, the protesters lit the street on fire, burned me in effigy.

00:21:00.860 And then these people threw an explosive at the building as I was walking on stage and

00:21:06.220 didn't hit me, didn't do damage to the building.

00:21:09.180 But it did very seriously injure a female police officer.

00:21:13.760 Well, these people probably wouldn't have even been brought up on charges, except that

00:21:18.940 there happened to be a federal law enforcement agent in the audience.

00:21:24.500 And what's funny is after this whole event, I was approached by federal law enforcement.

00:21:28.400 They asked to speak to me about what went down.

00:21:30.920 And I didn't speak to them because I said, you know, the FBI has just been caught spying

00:21:35.600 on Catholics, specifically traditional Catholics, has been caught going after pro-lifers, showing

00:21:41.860 up, arresting pro-lifers in front of their seven kids, has been caught setting up the

00:21:45.940 Trump administration to take down the administration and try to put Mike Flynn in jail.

00:21:50.500 I said, you know, I just don't trust federal law enforcement right now.

00:21:54.020 As a conservative, as a Catholic, as a pro-lifer, I checked three boxes.

00:21:58.260 I'm not going to speak to them.

00:21:59.220 I was skeptical.

00:21:59.840 But I have to give a great deal of credit to that federal law enforcement agent who pursued

00:22:06.440 this case, who really went to bat for us, who wanted justice for the police officer,

00:22:11.880 for the conservative students who brought me to campus, for Intercollegiate Studies Institute,

00:22:16.620 which put on this event.

00:22:18.340 And he pursued this, and charges were brought, federal charges, against these two anarchists.

00:22:23.600 So they were sentenced yesterday.

00:22:25.180 The one guy, the husband, got a meager five years in jail, and the wife got out of jail 0.70

00:22:38.400 time entirely.

00:22:39.780 She got off with probation and some community service.

00:22:44.820 These anarchists, these terrorists, left a female police officer bedridden for up to 20 0.75

00:22:51.400 hours per day with major injuries.

00:22:54.520 She couldn't sleep.

00:22:55.400 She couldn't eat.

00:22:56.520 She lost a ton of pay because she couldn't work. 0.99

00:22:58.700 She's still not back on full-time duty.

00:23:01.300 She lost probably $50,000 or more in wages, but also just couldn't move. 1.00

00:23:07.520 She'll never be the same.

00:23:08.340 She'll never do her hobbies as she previously did.

00:23:11.220 She'll probably never work in the same way that she did before.

00:23:14.740 They were obviously trying to kill us.

00:23:16.600 You don't throw an explosive at someone's face unless you mean to do serious damage.

00:23:21.820 Five years in prison?

00:23:23.880 A federal law enforcement agent does a great job really going to bat, trying to get some

00:23:29.060 justice here.

00:23:30.200 The prosecutors go pretty hard.

00:23:32.680 They're trying to get some justice here.

00:23:34.340 And then this judge basically just lets them off the hook.

00:23:38.640 There's so much more to say.

00:24:52.500 Just to wrap up on the Pittsburgh story here. 0.95

00:24:56.300 These anarchist terrorists show up to my speaking event, they throw an explosive in the face

00:25:04.400 of a cop, the cop who was standing in between the terrorists and the students and me and

00:25:11.700 the people who were just having the talk.

00:25:14.360 The explosion caused me to fall back, she said.

00:25:16.680 Her pants were on fire.

00:25:17.820 Her legs were burned.

00:25:18.760 She had hearing loss.

00:25:20.240 She needed back surgery. 0.93

00:25:21.380 She needed a fusion and a cadaver disc. 0.93

00:25:26.020 Brian DePippa is a homegrown terrorist who had every intention of hurting someone that

00:25:30.260 day, she told the federal judge.

00:25:31.380 I will never be the same.

00:25:33.620 And for that, the judge sentences this guy to a measly five years in prison and lets his

00:25:39.200 wife off the hook, three years probation, 80 hours community service. 0.97

00:25:43.800 So, the judge in this case, and this is according to reporting from, what is it, the Tribune?

00:25:55.820 The judge in this case, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune, says that the couple, with no criminal

00:26:02.240 history, seemed to be good people, quote, trying to do the right thing most of the time.

00:26:08.520 A line was crossed here.

00:26:10.100 It's clear to me, this is Judge Ranjan, I sense some regret.

00:26:16.160 Sometimes people matter more than principle.

00:26:21.680 I'm nauseated reading that take from the judge.

00:26:24.700 The couple with no criminal history, no criminal history.

00:26:27.900 These people are known members of an anarchist cell.

00:26:30.080 They were stopped at an airport twice because they had explosive residue.

00:26:33.240 At least the man had explosive residue.

00:26:34.980 No criminal history?

00:26:36.240 You mean he's never been convicted for a crime before?

00:26:38.080 He's never served serious jail time?

00:26:39.160 He's not serving serious jail time now.

00:26:40.840 He tried to kill people.

00:26:42.240 So, that doesn't prove anything. 0.96

00:26:43.940 He's obviously a hardened, long-time criminal.

00:26:47.820 As the prosecutor pointed out, these terrorists have expressed no remorse.

00:26:56.960 The female cop has accepted, or has decided to extend forgiveness and grace to the terrorists.

00:27:06.320 But as the prosecutor pointed out, he said, this is crazy.

00:27:10.440 The cop is forgiving these people.

00:27:12.440 These people have expressed no remorse.

00:27:14.420 Even the judge here has to say, a line was crossed.

00:27:17.300 It's clear to me.

00:27:17.940 I sense some regret.

00:27:19.560 You sense some regret?

00:27:21.800 What do you mean you sense some regret?

00:27:23.060 Are you pulling out your crystal ball to try to divine regret?

00:27:26.240 Either they've shown regret or they haven't.

00:27:28.160 Either they've expressed remorse or they haven't.

00:27:29.780 They haven't.

00:27:31.980 In fact, the anarchists who support them raised a bunch of money, said, free them.

00:27:37.380 Raise them money.

00:27:38.220 Let's go.

00:27:39.460 Implying that they did nothing wrong.

00:27:40.780 And this couple seems to think they've done nothing wrong.

00:27:42.540 No, but I sense, I sense some regret.

00:27:46.340 You seem to be good people.

00:27:47.380 You know, you guys are just a good, wholesome couple of anarchists who build bombs in your

00:27:52.160 free time and who sometimes get through TSA with explosives on your body.

00:27:57.060 But you're, you know, you're trying to do the good thing.

00:27:58.840 It's just sometimes people matter more than principle.

00:28:02.020 What principle are they advocating?

00:28:03.480 The principles that they hold are terrorism, anarchy, trying to kill civilians, maiming

00:28:12.160 cops for defending civilians. 0.51

00:28:14.840 Those are their principles.

00:28:16.280 I guess the judge agrees with those principles.

00:28:18.560 Look, the principles, your principles are good.

00:28:21.640 But sometimes you got to think about the people. 0.99

00:28:23.320 Okay, you crazy kids. 0.98

00:28:25.040 So I want you to write a letter. 0.97

00:28:27.960 Okay, and I want you to do a little community service.

00:28:30.340 And then, Mr. DePepa, you're going to spend three seconds in prison. 0.99

00:28:34.300 And then you can go back out and try to kill conservatives. 1.00

00:28:37.340 And you can maim cops. 0.99

00:28:39.640 And you can set off explosives when right-wingers go to university campuses and say things you

00:28:45.440 don't like.

00:28:46.460 Okay, sounds good.

00:28:49.000 Outrageous.

00:28:50.680 Kudos to federal law enforcement here, to the agents.

00:28:54.200 Thank you to the agent who went to bat.

00:28:56.180 Thank you to the prosecutors who did their best, I guess.

00:29:01.720 This judge. 0.99

00:29:03.860 Disgusting. 1.00

00:29:04.540 Disgusting. 0.99

00:29:05.680 Now, speaking of transgenderism, which was the topic of my speech at, of my talk, rather, 0.98

00:29:10.560 at U-Pittsburgh.

00:29:12.880 The ACLU and Ellen Page, now known as Elliot Page, have a message leading into 2025.

00:29:19.580 It's a message you heard in 2023, and in 2022, and in 2021, and probably in 2020.

00:29:27.000 And in 2019.

00:29:28.960 2018, I think I gave a campus tour called Men Are Not Women and Other Uncomfortable Truths.

00:29:33.000 You've heard this message a long time from the left.

00:29:37.060 Transgenderism will lead you to happiness.

00:29:38.660 My message to my younger self would just be, like, you know who you are, you know, and

00:29:46.360 please embrace that.

00:29:50.220 I feel, for me, it was, I understood my truth.

00:29:54.280 I felt it very strongly, and it was all of these external forces and noises that pushed

00:30:02.520 and pulled and made me sort of lose track of who I was.

00:30:09.980 And so, I guess, to my younger self, I'd say, you know, that discomfort and that pain you're

00:30:15.560 feeling, that is not yours.

00:30:17.360 That is theirs.

00:30:19.020 And to just keep going on the journey of embracing who you truly are, and that's what's going

00:30:25.500 to lead you to happiness.

00:30:29.200 What does that mean?

00:30:30.340 What does that mean?

00:30:31.700 Transgenderism is going to lead you to happiness.

00:30:34.260 I guess that's what, I guess she's saying if you embrace a trans identity, that's going 0.96

00:30:38.180 to make you happy.

00:30:38.980 That is demonstrably false.

00:30:40.800 There have been many studies and surveys.

00:30:43.220 We've talked about this question ad nauseum.

00:30:45.840 And it's just not true.

00:30:48.100 Identifying as trans dramatically increases your risks of anxiety, depression, suicide. 0.98

00:30:55.220 It's just, it is the surest way to be miserable.

00:30:59.580 And it's because it's a particularly extreme form of living contrary to reality.

00:31:06.680 And when you live in opposition to reality, you're going to be unhappy.

00:31:10.380 So, yeah, okay.

00:31:12.680 Moving on.

00:31:13.500 This whole thing seems passe.

00:31:17.260 And I guess that's a good thing heading into 2025.

00:31:21.620 This whole campaign from the ACLU and Ellen Page, be trans, it'll make you happy, live your

00:31:27.800 authentic self, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:31:29.940 It just seems dated.

00:31:31.420 It seems passe.

00:31:32.340 If I never have to talk about transgenderism for the rest of my life, it'll be too soon. 0.99

00:31:36.960 We've talked about it enough, haven't we?

00:31:40.520 But the left is still, they're still trying to push it a little bit.

00:31:42.920 But I think it's over.

00:31:44.180 I think most people know it's totally absurd.

00:31:47.740 It seems like something new is on the horizon.

00:31:51.080 I think we're done talking about the trannies. 1.00

00:31:52.960 Can we be done talking about, please?

00:31:54.760 Anybody?

00:31:55.400 Is anybody listening out there in politics?

00:31:57.980 I think we've had enough.

00:31:59.120 I think the weakness of this kind of a campaign proves that.

00:32:04.240 I think the 2024 election in many ways proves that.

00:32:07.000 One of the big issues, even with the bad economy and migration and foreign policy and we're on the

00:32:13.000 the brink of World War III, one of the big issues that drove centrists and people on the center

00:32:17.180 left to vote for Trump this time was that the left proved its poor judgment, the absurdity of

00:32:24.920 its ideology, by insisting that men can become women and forcing that absurdity on little children.

00:32:32.760 I think that was a big driver of people to the polls.

00:32:34.800 I think that's been true for some years now.

00:32:37.040 I think the trans thing is over. 1.00

00:32:39.740 It's passe.

00:32:40.700 Enough.

00:32:41.860 What comes next?

00:32:43.880 I was speaking to a priest friend of mine not so long ago, and he pointed out,

00:32:49.460 his father, Benedict Keeley, a wonderful English priest who works,

00:32:52.760 he's been on the show before, he works to help persecute Christians in the Middle East. 1.00

00:32:57.900 He said there have been three big questions in the life of the church.

00:33:03.360 The first one is, who is God?

00:33:06.860 You think about the debates in the early church over who Christ is,

00:33:11.060 the Aryan controversy or Marcionism or these questions of who is God, who is Christ, who

00:33:18.380 are we worshiping?

00:33:20.340 Then there's another crisis that crops up in the 16th century.

00:33:25.440 It's what is the church?

00:33:26.900 This is the question that was brought about by the Protestant Revolution.

00:33:30.280 What is the church?

00:33:31.060 Is the church just something floating in outer space?

00:33:33.780 Or is the church a tangible body with members that has a traceable history?

00:33:38.700 And what does the church mean?

00:33:40.340 And now we're in a third stage, which is, what is man?

00:33:44.700 What is God?

00:33:45.500 What is the church?

00:33:46.100 What is man?

00:33:47.700 What is a woman? 1.00

00:33:48.940 What is man?

00:33:49.620 What are we?

00:33:50.720 Even beyond the question of sex, are we merely our bodies?

00:33:54.300 Are we body and soul?

00:33:55.640 Are we merely our spirits and our bodies have nothing to do with who we are?

00:33:58.700 Are we the sort of thing that can be uploaded to a cloud or plugged into a machine?

00:34:05.180 Are we different from robots?

00:34:06.620 What is man, even beyond this question about our organic nature, is a political question.

00:34:17.200 And this has been a reckoning since the so-called Enlightenment and political modernism, which

00:34:23.020 is, is man fundamentally an individual?

00:34:26.080 Or is man, as classical thinkers believed, more of a social creature?

00:34:30.340 Is man a creation of his own?

00:34:32.920 Are we going to turn ourselves, as Yuval Harari suggests, into homo deus?

00:34:37.160 We're going to create the new form of humanity?

00:34:39.520 Or is man a creature made in the image and likeness of God?

00:34:43.820 What is man?

00:34:44.620 That's the question.

00:34:45.520 And so the first part of that, the opening salvo was, you know, what is a woman?

00:34:51.680 But now the question is deepening.

00:34:53.200 I think we've moved on past the trans stuff. 0.97

00:34:55.200 But the questions that await us are far deeper.

00:34:59.260 And will force us to rethink a lot of the comfortable conclusions we've arrived at in recent centuries.

00:35:05.300 Now, speaking of our brave new world, a story I promised I'd get to.

00:35:09.120 The Bill Gates Foundation has funded research at Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands

00:35:15.460 to turn mosquitoes into flying syringes.

00:35:18.900 To turn mosquitoes into little vaccinators who can flit around the air and vaccinate people potentially against their will

00:35:30.600 and certainly without their knowledge.

00:35:32.760 This is some pretty dystopian stuff.

00:35:36.660 But a study published late last month in the New England Journal of Medicine

00:35:41.520 has shown that they now have an effective way of using mosquitoes to inject human beings with various vaccines.

00:35:51.800 In particular, malaria.

00:35:54.800 But possibly other payloads as well in the future.

00:35:57.620 So, on the one hand, people are saying, hold on, Bill Gates is going to inject me with a vaccine?

00:36:03.100 This is the most horrifying thing imaginable.

00:36:04.700 I'm not going to be able to stop it.

00:36:05.920 I'm not going to be able to even know about it.

00:36:08.000 Dystopian.

00:36:09.360 On the other hand, though, just to keep an open mind, it might make some sense in certain places.

00:36:16.560 This is an unpopular opinion.

00:36:18.160 I'm not totally opposed to the Bill Gates weaponizing mosquitoes to inject people with vaccines.

00:36:25.620 Because, if I just look at Nigeria, 13% of deaths per year in Nigeria are from malaria.

00:36:37.180 Nigeria leads the world in malaria deaths.

00:36:41.300 Okay?

00:36:41.740 I'm talking about almost 200,000 people per year.

00:36:43.460 If the government could protect people against that, that would be a good thing.

00:36:52.000 If they could do it while allaying ethical concerns.

00:36:55.020 If they could do that in a way that wouldn't cause more harm than good.

00:36:58.380 We're not talking about the COVID vaccine here.

00:37:01.140 We're not talking about some really controversial vaccine.

00:37:04.340 We're talking about malaria.

00:37:05.900 The malaria vaccine, for instance, is not produced or even developed using cells from aborted bases.

00:37:13.820 Some vaccines are.

00:37:15.360 That was one of the big ethical concerns with the COVID vaccine.

00:37:17.760 Is that to mandate the COVID vaccine is to mandate that people cooperate with evil, even in a distant way.

00:37:23.320 Because the COVID vaccines were developed and in some cases produced using cells from aborted babies.

00:37:30.860 So, the question over a scientific advancement like this, I don't think is totally black and white.

00:37:39.680 If you are just a hardcore libertarian or individual ideologue, you would say, yeah, it is black and white.

00:37:45.200 Forget about that.

00:37:46.220 No Bill Gates.

00:37:47.100 No vaccines.

00:37:47.780 No nothing.

00:37:48.980 But, if you take politics a little bit more classically than all that, then you have to take it seriously.

00:37:58.740 The question then you have to ask yourself is not merely about procedure, but about substance.

00:38:04.440 Who is the one pushing this stuff?

00:38:06.580 Is it the government?

00:38:07.380 Is it some rogue liberal billionaire?

00:38:08.920 Oh, that probably wouldn't be that good.

00:38:10.340 Is it the legitimate public authority?

00:38:14.080 Do these people take ethics seriously?

00:38:17.920 Or do they, like our present liberal elites, not have any serious sense of ethics?

00:38:22.860 It's going to matter more.

00:38:25.800 It's going to matter less whether the government does something or doesn't do something.

00:38:29.260 It's going to matter more what kind of government we have.

00:38:31.940 What the substance of the issues is.

00:38:34.360 That's a deeper, nuanced conversation that our modern political age has no patience for.

00:39:07.700 My favorite comment yesterday is from Gavin Bailey Tanner.

00:39:10.460 It says, Michael's favorite thinkers, number one, St. Thomas Aquinas, and number two, Norm MacDonald.

00:39:15.960 I think that's true.

00:39:17.040 Yeah, that's about right.

00:39:19.100 I was going to joke and say maybe not in that order, but no, it is in that order.

00:39:22.900 Aquinas, and then Norm can vie with Dante and Aristotle for the second place.

00:39:29.240 That's true.

00:39:29.800 Speaking of viruses, they're back. 0.99

00:39:35.780 They're back, and I'm going to be back too, you dirty sheep. 0.88

00:39:39.860 India has become the first country to reinstate COVID restrictions as a new virus out of China begins to spread.

00:39:49.380 There is an alarm over a mystery illness, HMPV, which has symptoms similar to COVID.

00:40:02.360 China has seen a surge in cases right now.

00:40:04.840 And the Indian state of Karnataka is taking precautionary measures.

00:40:11.560 The virus has symptoms related to human metanomovirus.

00:40:17.820 And authorities are encouraging mask wearing in crowded locales after seeing three cases of this respiratory ailment.

00:40:24.500 So, I am calling for a complete and total ban of China until they stop poisoning the world every few years. 1.00

00:40:37.860 Okay?

00:40:38.520 I am channeling my inner Trump.

00:40:41.380 I want a complete and total shutdown of China until we figure out what the heck is going on. 0.71

00:40:52.540 Why does China keep doing this? 0.96

00:40:54.460 Why do they keep poisoning the globe like every three years?

00:40:59.440 Asia does this. 0.57

00:41:00.960 You know, wasn't Asia responsible for the Black Death, too? 0.73

00:41:03.700 This is, hmm.

00:41:05.320 Maybe I'll broaden it.

00:41:06.220 I'm calling for a complete and total shutdown of Asia until we figure out what's going on. 1.00

00:41:11.960 But we live in a globalized world where everyone travels all the time and we all trade all the time.

00:41:15.780 So, you get some benefits.

00:41:18.200 You get cheap goods from Amazon for Christmas.

00:41:21.280 The downside is the whole world gets poisoned every, like, three years.

00:41:24.920 Okay.

00:41:25.300 All right.

00:41:25.680 Well, how about that?

00:41:27.260 Now, one other story I want to get to.

00:41:30.960 I'm apropos of billionaires like Bill Gates or whatever, all these people controlling our politics.

00:41:38.700 The Washington Post cartoonist, Anne Telmeis, has just quit the paper.

00:41:45.820 She is a Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post cartoonist.

00:41:49.040 She has quit the paper because she wanted to run a cartoon attacking the owner of the paper, Jeff Bezos.

00:41:57.020 And the editors said no.

00:41:59.660 And this is what Telmeis wrote.

00:42:03.060 My job is to hold powerful people and institutions accountable.

00:42:07.380 For the first time, my editor prevented me from doing that critical job, the critical job of political cartoons.

00:42:14.240 Now, Telmeis said to NPR, I'm very used to being edited.

00:42:17.980 I've never, ever, since I've worked for the Post in 2008, been not allowed to comment on certain topics by having cartoons killed.

00:42:25.400 We have to have the freedom to say what we want to say.

00:42:28.000 We are visual opinion makers.

00:42:31.280 Okay.

00:42:32.400 The last part is true.

00:42:35.040 They are visual opinion makers.

00:42:37.480 That's true of the cartoonists.

00:42:38.600 That's true of the newspaper business broadly.

00:42:40.920 Now, the Washington Post says that her story isn't true.

00:42:43.300 The editorial page editor, David Shipley, said he respects Telmeis' contributions to the Post, but he says, not every editorial judgment is a reflection of a malign force.

00:42:54.720 He says, my decision to spike the cartoon was guided by the fact that we had just published a column on the same topic as the cartoon and had already scheduled another column, this one a satire, for publication.

00:43:06.000 My only bias was against repetition.

00:43:08.400 He's saying, I'm not shutting down the opinion.

00:43:11.160 We've already run that opinion many times.

00:43:12.740 It's just, it's redundant.

00:43:15.100 It's too much.

00:43:15.620 Even if this cartoon was spiked for insulting Jeff Bezos, that is perfectly reasonable.

00:43:26.420 It's his paper.

00:43:27.960 I think it's reasonable.

00:43:29.780 The paper has been critical of Amazon, has done all sorts of things that I'm sure Jeff Bezos wouldn't like, but he's the owner.

00:43:36.820 They work for him.

00:43:37.580 And everybody works for somebody.

00:43:40.900 When she says, we are visual opinion makers.

00:43:45.300 Yeah, right.

00:43:47.240 And the chief opinion maker is Jeff Bezos.

00:43:50.280 He owns the paper.

00:43:51.140 You work for him.

00:43:51.800 You don't like that?

00:43:52.340 Go work for someone else. 0.53

00:43:54.560 Everybody works for somebody.

00:43:57.420 I work for somebody.

00:43:58.740 You work for somebody.

00:44:00.680 The president of the United States works for somebody.

00:44:02.620 It doesn't mean that you always have to agree with that person on everything.

00:44:08.580 It doesn't mean that you always have to be in lockstep.

00:44:11.220 You know, the Washington Post, the Washington Post publishes things that irritate Jeff Bezos, that are contrary to Jeff Bezos' interests all the time.

00:44:20.700 Here at the Daily Wire, we all disagree with each other.

00:44:23.140 I say things on my show that the owners of the Daily Wire disagree with, very publicly disagree with, all the time.

00:44:30.840 And we always, we bicker about it, and we do it on camera, we do it off camera, we've done it for years, we're all friends.

00:44:36.400 That's, that's great.

00:44:38.640 But, if I said something that we're, if I said, you know, the Daily Wire is a terrible place, and it's an awful institution, and all the people involved are evil and terrible, they would have every right to say, no, don't say that.

00:44:50.060 What are you talking about?

00:44:50.620 This is our platform.

00:44:51.780 Jeff Bezos has every right to do that.

00:44:53.440 And, in fact, the deeper political point I want to make is, America has the right to do that, too.

00:45:01.980 We have the right to standards.

00:45:04.520 We have the right to norms.

00:45:06.460 We have the right to guardrails around public speech.

00:45:10.300 That's the, that's the thesis of my book, Speechless.

00:45:13.000 There's a big, thank you, I was a little late in the new year.

00:45:16.260 There, there's a, there's a big debate right now, because Elon Musk has changed the algorithm at Twitter, at X.

00:45:23.320 Elon Musk has now said, we're going to prioritize certain content over others according to standards and norms.

00:45:27.860 A lot of free speech absolutists echoing the language of liberals, they're saying, this is terrible.

00:45:34.660 In practice, it might end up being terrible.

00:45:36.720 In principle, though, he's totally right.

00:45:38.680 We have the right to standards.

00:45:41.580 We live together in society.

00:45:44.240 Politics is about society.

00:45:46.260 About the public.

00:45:47.720 We have the right to set certain norms and standards.

00:45:51.420 And if you don't like it, you can go take a hike.

00:45:53.380 That lady can leave the Washington Post. 1.00

00:45:54.900 Or people who hate America, they can go leave America.

00:45:57.640 I am so pleased, speaking of freedom, I'm so pleased to have Aaron Hawley of the Alliance Defending Freedom on the show.
