00:00:37.760 Just when you think the liberal media have hit rock bottom,

00:00:42.240 just when you think they can't possibly go any lower,

00:00:46.260 they offer sympathetic interviews to murderous fentanyl-peddling cartel-running terrorists.

00:00:52.500 He says he produces fentanyl for the Sinaloa cartel.

00:00:56.980 How safe or dangerous is this area to be in? 0.81

00:01:03.300 I mean, according to the Trump administration, you are a terrorist.

00:01:07.080 I mean, the cartels have been labeled a foreign terrorist organization.

00:01:10.180 What do you make of that?

00:01:16.540 Situation's ugly, but we have to eat.

00:01:18.180 My respect to Donald Trump, if he's watching this.

00:01:21.620 My respect to Donald Trump.

00:01:25.140 According to him, he's looking out for his people.

00:01:30.980 But the problem is that the consumers are in the United States.

00:01:34.280 If there weren't any consumers, we would stop.

00:01:36.740 There is a lot of violence playing out on these streets here at the moment every day, right?

00:01:42.040 I mean, people are dying on a daily basis.

00:01:44.360 Children are afraid to go to school.

00:01:46.300 Do you have any sense of remorse over your role and your involvement in this group?

00:01:53.300 Of course.

00:01:54.940 Things are sad, but...

00:01:59.220 Well...

00:02:02.820 Things are sad.

00:02:04.900 Okay.

00:02:05.620 The most striking part of this interview is how relatively reasonable the cartel guy sounds.

00:02:11.820 He's making excuses.

00:02:13.500 He's trying to justify his actions.

00:02:14.940 But the most reasonable people on the issue of cartels, drugs, and mass migration are Trump and the people who voted for him because they want to kick them all out of our country and arrest them and stop them from doing bad things.

00:02:27.240 The second most reasonable people in this conversation are the cartel members.

00:02:33.200 Coming in at a distant third in terms of reasonableness are the liberal media who are reporting on it all.

00:02:41.220 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:02:41.880 This is the Michael Knowles Show.

00:02:44.940 This is the Michael Knowles Show.

00:03:14.940 A little note of caution to CNN.

00:03:34.820 Just a little bit of whatever wisdom I can muster.

00:03:37.600 You don't always have to take the side of the bad guy.

00:03:42.120 This is not just to CNN.

00:03:43.320 This is to the libs generally.

00:03:44.820 You don't always have to take the side of the bad guy to the exclusion of the side of the good guy.

00:03:51.740 I actually understand the impulse to feel some sympathy for the bad guy.

00:03:59.720 That comes naturally out of Christianity.

00:04:02.100 Lord, forgive them.

00:04:02.820 They know not what they do.

00:04:04.340 The understanding that when we sin, it's because we're slaves to sin.

00:04:09.420 And the more we sin, the more we become slaves.

00:04:12.140 So in a way, we can't even escape it. 0.55

00:04:14.220 Like a heroin addict.

00:04:15.120 Even if we want to escape it, we can't quite escape it.

00:04:17.060 Okay, I understand that a little bit.

00:04:20.260 The first people you should feel sorry for are the victims of this cartel-running, terrorist, drug-dealing monster.

00:04:29.020 The first people you should feel sorry for are the people that he's killed directly with guns.

00:04:35.340 The second people you should feel sorry for are the people he's killed with drugs, like fentanyl.

00:04:40.420 The third group of people you should feel sorry for are the families of the victims, of the people.

00:04:45.160 People who have died from the guns and the fentanyl.

00:04:48.300 Then there's the fourth group of people, the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, somewhere way down the list.

00:04:54.180 You can feel sorry for this guy.

00:04:56.700 And you should.

00:04:57.220 But no man is an island entire unto himself.

00:05:00.220 I get it.

00:05:01.180 We even feel bad for the bad guys.

00:05:05.560 But not first.

00:05:07.660 You know, this is something we've talked about a lot yesterday on the show.

00:05:10.440 We've talked about a number of times over the years.

00:05:14.220 Liberalism, it's not that it gets everything totally wrong.

00:05:17.240 It's just that it perverts and distorts things.

00:05:19.820 So in the traditional, classical, Christian way of viewing things,

00:05:23.340 you feel really bad for the victim and you even feel bad for the perpetrator.

00:05:27.440 Lord forgive them, they know not what they do.

00:05:29.520 With liberalism, which perverts and even inverts everything, you only feel bad for the perpetrator and you don't feel bad for the victim.

00:05:36.260 When, to use the example from yesterday, the big racial conflict that's been cropping up, when a black teenager murders a white teenager, you just give half a million dollars to the black teenager.

00:05:51.280 He has to be the victim. 0.96

00:05:52.300 The white kid has to have done something wrong just by being white. 0.99

00:05:55.600 Yeah, because he's the oppressor and the black kid's the oppressed. 1.00

00:05:59.800 That's how the libs view things. 0.99

00:06:02.000 Here are these poor, the poor cartels.

00:06:03.880 What can they do? 0.96

00:06:04.360 They have nothing else to do but murder people and deal fentanyl. 0.96

00:06:07.480 What else could they do? 0.94

00:06:08.220 How are they going to feed their families? 0.93

00:06:10.320 Do they, do they have families?

00:06:11.380 A lot of them.

00:06:11.860 I'm not so sure.

00:06:13.000 Are they nice to their families?

00:06:14.020 I'm not so sure.

00:06:15.320 Can they go farm?

00:06:16.300 Can they go, can you go work in Starbucks?

00:06:18.020 Can you go learn to code? 0.78

00:06:18.840 It seems like there are other things you can do besides murder people and deal fentanyl.

00:06:23.540 But no, no, we, it has, they have to be the victims. 0.70

00:06:27.520 And the Americans whose families are being killed by these monsters, they have to be in the wrong somehow because of American colonialism or because of their whiteness or because of whatever.

00:06:38.860 That's how the libs view things. 0.53

00:06:40.040 And so you get the worst of all worlds.

00:06:42.020 You get complete injustice and you don't get Christian charity.

00:06:46.460 You get nothing.

00:06:47.200 It's just the worst of all worlds, which is the side, of course, that the liberal media are on.

00:06:53.940 One minor usage point here.

00:06:56.160 The CNN reporter seems skeptical that the Trump admin has classified these people as terrorists.

00:07:01.620 It's a fair point there.

00:07:03.100 Terrorism specifically is when you target civilians to achieve political ends.

00:07:07.880 So a guy who murders someone on the street, even if he murders 100 people on the street, if he just wants to murder them, that's not terrorism.

00:07:16.020 Or a guy who shoots uniformed military officers, that could be very evil, but it's not terrorism.

00:07:23.080 Terrorism is a specific thing.

00:07:24.400 It's when you target civilians to achieve political ends.

00:07:27.100 The cartels are in a little bit of a murky ground.

00:07:29.900 They're obviously political entities and they do target civilians.

00:07:33.700 But they're not states.

00:07:35.160 They're not attempting some kind of coup d'etat usually.

00:07:40.120 They're not.

00:07:40.680 They operate this middle ground.

00:07:41.760 So I'm all for Trump using whatever resources are at his disposal in any way that is even slightly plausible to go after the cartels.

00:07:48.300 It's a fair enough question.

00:07:49.640 But then again, you've got to ask yourself, why are the libs hemming and hawing over this question? 1.00

00:07:55.620 You've got two issues you can deal with.

00:07:58.000 You can deal with the 75,000 Americans every year who are being murdered by fentanyl.

00:08:04.140 You can deal with the 11 to 16 million foreigners who are not supposed to be in this country, who are in our country because these cartels control the border on the one hand. 0.66

00:08:12.280 Or you can hem and haw over the precise meaning of terrorism and stay up at night tossing and turning in your bed because you don't know if some face-tattooed Satan-worshipping gangster was really drawn into the gangster life to buy a loaf of bread for his family.

00:08:29.000 Which are we going to pay?

00:08:29.680 I don't know.

00:08:30.000 For me, I'm more on the side of the Americans and the border and the 75,000 people a year dying.

00:08:35.180 Call me crazy.

00:08:36.100 I guess that's why I don't work for the liberal media.

00:08:37.420 Now, speaking of migration, Trump's Department of Homeland Security has just offered a novel solution to the aforementioned mass migration problem.

00:08:49.560 Remember, we have conservative estimates 11 to 16 million foreign nationals here illegally.

00:08:55.660 They should not be here.

00:08:57.460 DHS is offering $1,000 per illegal to just leave, to self-deport.

00:09:05.740 And they're doing it in a clever way.

00:09:07.420 Christy Noem, secretary of DHS, comes out and says,

00:09:10.500 If you're here illegally, self-deportation is the best, safest, and most cost-effective way to leave the United States and avoid arrest.

00:09:18.680 DHS is now offering illegal aliens financial travel assistance and a stipend to return to their home country through the CBP home app.

00:09:27.100 Technology has advanced so much.

00:09:28.360 We're so glued to our phones that even the illegal aliens are going to use their phones to get their Venmo payments to leave.

00:09:37.420 Migrants will get the stipend once the app shows that they're in their country of origin. 0.99

00:09:46.240 Beautiful idea.

00:09:47.000 First of all, it shows you some of the realities of illegal immigration, which is the libs tell us that these poor illegals, they have nothing.

00:09:55.000 They're totally destitute.

00:09:56.600 They barely have shirts on their backs.

00:09:59.360 They're just pleading for a bowl of porridge from this wealthy country. 0.70

00:10:02.960 And you nasty Republicans don't want to give it to them. 1.00

00:10:05.040 In reality, illegal aliens are on tons of welfare programs. 0.79

00:10:09.180 They're much more likely to be on welfare programs than native-born Americans.

00:10:13.200 The ones who are affiliated with the cartels do have a decent amount of money.

00:10:17.800 They have smartphones.

00:10:19.800 And so if they have smartphones, they can download the CBP app.

00:10:22.420 They can self-deport.

00:10:23.940 So is this a realistic plan?

00:10:25.360 $1,000 stipend.

00:10:29.880 Decent money.

00:10:30.700 These guys are really starving.

00:10:31.900 Then, you know, $1,000 is pretty good.

00:10:34.020 If they're not really starving, then you might need to increase the payout.

00:10:37.980 But there's a little stick, which is the $1,000.

00:10:39.980 And then, or sorry, there's the carrot, which is the $1,000.

00:10:42.380 And then the stick is, DHS is going to roll in, shove you on a plane, send you to a gulag

00:10:47.100 on El Salvador, and then Bukele is going to take care of you.

00:10:49.440 What would you rather have, $1,000 and a smartphone or a naive Bukele coming around with the whip 0.99

00:10:54.920 and the chains?

00:10:55.800 Probably the former sounds nicer to me.

00:10:58.220 So is this feasible?

00:11:01.760 Let's say you got 11 million illegal aliens.

00:11:04.080 That's kind of the lowest conservative number.

00:11:08.020 Then $1,000 per illegal alien.

00:11:10.400 And that's $11 trillion to deport all of the illegals. 0.98

00:11:14.760 That would be roughly 40% of US GDP in one year.

00:11:21.160 And obviously, this wouldn't happen over the course of just one year.

00:11:23.680 But you're talking about 40% of GDP.

00:11:27.200 Let's say you divvy it up over two years.

00:11:28.680 That's 20% of GDP.

00:11:29.880 But GDP might actually diminish if you start deporting millions of foreigners. 0.99

00:11:33.340 So I think it's worth it.

00:11:35.220 We waste money on a lot of stuff.

00:11:36.480 But it's $11 trillion.

00:11:40.840 It just goes to show you the scope of the problem.

00:11:45.400 When you factor in DHS officers, multiple DHS officers, vehicles, gasoline, bureaucrats,

00:11:55.640 the processing, court fees, airfare, these big planes that are flying in El Salvador.

00:12:02.260 When you factor in all of that, the cost to deport each illegal alien is certainly much 0.75

00:12:09.520 higher than $1,000.

00:12:11.300 So here, Trump is just trying to save some money.

00:12:13.200 He's just trying to be efficient.

00:12:14.360 He's giving the illegals an opportunity to do the right thing and to be compensated a

00:12:19.200 little bit for it.

00:12:20.520 It's a win-win.

00:12:21.300 That's the art of the deal. 0.98

00:12:23.460 But for the libs and the squishy Republicans who come out and say, this is ridiculous. 0.92

00:12:26.820 $11 trillion. 0.88

00:12:27.620 That's 40% of GDP.

00:12:28.780 There's no, this is completely unworkable.

00:12:30.000 Well, yeah, right, that just shows you the scope of the problem.

00:12:32.760 That just shows you the enormity of the problem that you all let happen.

00:12:37.280 Such that now, the most cost-efficient way to fix your mess is to spend 40% of GDP to bribe

00:12:45.820 these people to leave.

00:12:47.620 So don't blame Trump for that.

00:12:49.800 Trump, not only on this issue, but on many issues, is coming up with novel solutions that

00:12:54.740 neither Democrats nor Republicans have proposed in the past, which is probably why neither

00:12:58.940 the Democrats nor Republicans have solved these major issues.

00:13:02.540 But don't blame him for trying to fix your mess.

00:13:05.580 Yeah, $11 trillion is a lot of money.

00:13:07.340 You probably shouldn't have let in all those foreigners. 1.00

00:13:09.080 You probably shouldn't have rolled out the red carpet for them because of your cynical

00:13:12.080 political agenda, really private interest agenda, to disenfranchise half the country.

00:13:19.000 Not good.

00:13:20.100 I have a lot more to say.

00:13:21.440 First, though, do you want free meat for life?

00:13:23.780 Go to GoodRanchers.com, use promo code Knowles.

00:13:26.320 You've probably noticed your grocery bills lately have been a little nuts.

00:13:29.740 The meat prices are going to go crazy with all of these tariffs.

00:13:36.020 Well, luckily, GoodRanchers.com delivers 100% locally sourced American beef, chicken, pork,

00:13:55.920 The average family throws away around $500 worth of meat every year.

00:14:02.420 It's all vacuum-sealed, individually wrapped.

00:14:09.760 So make sure you get this perfectly trimmed meat.

00:14:12.520 My only confession the other day, I was cooking up GoodRanchers steaks, New York strip,

00:14:16.040 and ribeye, but Elisa usually does the grilling, actually, and she does a perfect job at it. 1.00

00:14:21.160 And I did properly grill one or two of the steaks.

00:14:25.220 I overcooked my steak.

00:14:26.900 And the meat is such high quality that I feel I must do penance for this.

00:14:48.480 American meat delivered.

00:14:50.620 Speaking of the DHS officers, there is a video going viral.

00:14:55.660 And it actually took place here in Nashville.

00:14:59.300 A DHS officer, we have the video of it.

00:15:01.520 But he apparently was on some immigration raid, and he lit a cigar after he finished arresting all of these illegals. 0.91

00:15:10.720 And he's just standing outside his car, puts a cigar in his teeth.

00:15:15.760 He starts taking a few puffs, hanging out with his buddy there.

00:15:19.140 I, too, am really disturbed by this video.

00:15:23.260 I know a lot of people were really upset and bothered by it.

00:15:25.620 I'm really disturbed because that man is here in my town, and he's not smoking a Mayflower cigar.

00:15:34.820 I didn't know he was coming to town.

00:15:36.560 I didn't know they were doing this raid.

00:15:37.620 But this brave DHS officer, risking his life doing a patriotic service for America here in my town,

00:15:47.420 and he has to smoke, presumably, an inferior quality cigar after doing this great patriotic service.

00:15:53.940 So if anyone knows this guy, don't dox him, first of all.

00:15:57.160 Don't post his data online or anything like that.

00:15:59.540 But if anyone knows who this brave officer is, message it to me privately.

00:16:04.080 We need to get that man a box of Mayflower cigars so that on the next raid, he can light up the best cigar in the United States.

00:16:12.180 Speaking of law and order, President Trump has made another big announcement on the justice front.

00:16:19.940 He is going to reopen Alcatraz, the most famous, most infamous prison probably in the United States.

00:16:28.160 He posts, quote, rebuild and open Alcatraz.

00:16:32.560 For too long, America has been plagued by vicious, violent, and repeat criminal offenders,

00:16:37.860 the dregs of society, who will never contribute anything other than misery and suffering.

00:16:42.120 When we were a more serious nation in times past, we did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals

00:16:48.260 and keep them far away from anyone they could harm.

00:16:51.620 That's the way it's supposed to be.

00:16:53.340 No longer will we tolerate these serial offenders who spread filth, bloodshed, and mayhem on our streets.

00:16:59.960 I love this guy's diction so much.

00:17:03.360 Back when Trump did the Make America Great Again hat, I said, this man has poetic diction,

00:17:09.020 and people thought I was being hyperbolic or whatever.

00:17:11.220 That's actually beautiful political writing.

00:17:13.500 They spread filth, bloodshed, and mayhem on our streets that is so much more evocative,

00:17:17.660 that is so much more politically powerful than anything that the mainstream Dems or the,

00:17:22.340 even the radical Dems, because they're not very good at the English language.

00:17:25.500 And certainly then the squish Republicans know how to do. 0.97

00:17:27.820 That really paints the picture accurately.

00:17:29.760 Anyway, he goes on.

00:17:30.400 But this is why today I am directing the Bureau of Prisons, together with the Department of Justice,

00:17:35.560 FBI, and Homeland Security, to reopen a substantially enlarged and rebuilt Alcatraz

00:17:41.520 to house America's most ruthless and violent offenders.

00:17:44.900 We will no longer be held hostage to criminals, thugs, and judges.

00:17:48.340 They're afraid to do their job and allow us to remove criminals who came into our country illegally. 1.00

00:17:52.600 The reopening of Alcatraz will serve as a symbol of law, order, and justice.

00:17:57.860 We will make America great again.

00:18:02.920 I really love this idea.

00:18:04.760 And not just because it seems so over the top and extreme.

00:18:07.640 I mean, Alcatraz is like the American Elba or St. Helena or something.

00:18:12.300 It's where we banish the most notorious criminals.

00:18:15.340 That's where Al Capone was.

00:18:16.300 Then it closed down, not for any reason other than it was just expensive.

00:18:21.760 And I guess the salt water from the sea had corroded some of the building.

00:18:26.520 But people seem to think that the criminals were able to escape from Alcatraz.

00:18:31.320 That isn't true.

00:18:32.020 Some people, they were able to escape in the sense that a handful of criminals were able to get out

00:18:35.860 and start swimming across the water.

00:18:37.440 But they all drowned or were shot along the way or apprehended when they reached the shore.

00:18:42.240 So it's a very effective prison.

00:18:44.280 You know, you'd have to put a little money in it, fix some of the salt corrosion.

00:18:47.140 But we should reopen Alcatraz for two reasons.

00:18:52.400 One, it's good to use things for what they're for.

00:18:57.660 One of the big problems we have in America and in our whole civilization right now

00:19:01.760 is we no longer use things for what they're for.

00:19:06.460 You especially see this in Europe.

00:19:08.160 Europe, which has essentially become a museum.

00:19:09.900 It used to be a civilization, now it's a museum.

00:19:12.360 But even here, how many churches in America have become coffeehouses or bookstores or whatever?

00:19:21.140 That's bad.

00:19:22.280 We don't want to do that.

00:19:23.100 How many churches in Europe have become mosques?

00:19:25.980 That's not good.

00:19:26.740 There's something that feels very wrong about that.

00:19:28.420 When you take something and transform it and use it against its original purpose.

00:19:34.720 Parks and playgrounds.

00:19:36.000 It's good to use parks and playgrounds.

00:19:37.480 Now so many of them have become dog parks.

00:19:39.740 Used to be for kids.

00:19:41.040 Now they're for dogs.

00:19:41.900 That's not good.

00:19:42.980 We built them for kids.

00:19:44.980 It's good to have kids.

00:19:45.840 It's better to have kids than to have dogs and pretend that the dogs are kids.

00:19:50.240 We pervert those things.

00:19:53.380 Marriages.

00:19:54.000 Marriages were for having children and as a secondary matter for the mutual support of the spouses.

00:19:59.380 Now marriages are for, what, splitting the rent and going on vacation and eating brunch? 0.97

00:20:05.040 We don't know what it's, and so all of these things lose their coherence.

00:20:11.180 Our whole society loses its coherence when you don't use the thing for what it's for.

00:20:14.420 So that's a long and probably needlessly philosophical way to say, I think we should use prisons to be prisons.

00:20:21.180 But then the second reason that it's good that Trump is reopening Alcatraz is it shows a rethinking of our criminal justice problem.

00:20:30.960 For decades, we have heard from the left and from libertarians on the right that America has an over-incarceration problem.

00:20:39.260 But we don't.

00:20:41.420 We have an under-incarceration problem.

00:20:43.980 We have rampant crime.

00:20:46.280 We have many people being murdered, not just by guns and knives and direct killings, but as I mentioned earlier, 75,000 Americans per year being poisoned by fentanyl, by the criminals who control our entire border and who flood our country with millions of other criminals.

00:21:02.220 We have a massive under-incarceration problem.

00:21:06.660 So what the libs and the squishes want to do is they want to close prisons. 0.99

00:21:10.340 The extreme left wants to abolish prisons altogether, as Rashida Tlaib and the rest of the squad suggested over the past five, six years.

00:21:17.600 What Trump is saying is, no, no, no.

00:21:20.180 We need more prisons.

00:21:21.800 And in fact, we are going to reopen America's most notorious prison.

00:21:26.440 We're going to make it tougher than ever.

00:21:29.320 And we're going to put more criminals in there.

00:21:32.220 When the crime rates diminish, that's when you could start talking about over-incarceration.

00:21:36.780 For right now, though, we have under-incarceration.

00:21:39.740 We need that rethinking.

00:21:43.000 A fundamental shift in how we even approach criminal justice.

00:21:46.020 It should not be, how do we get these people out?

00:21:47.420 No, it's, how do we get more people into the prisons?

00:21:50.440 And how do we make sure they stay locked away?

00:21:51.980 And how do we make sure that we surround them by sharks so they never try to swim out?

00:21:55.020 That would be justice.

00:21:58.440 I have even more pearls of wisdom for you.

00:22:00.700 But first, go to preborn.com slash Knowles.

00:22:04.700 With Mother's Day just around the corner, I want to share an amazing organization that's making a real difference for mothers in need.

00:22:09.740 And that is Preborn.

00:22:11.220 Their network of clinics provides love, support, and hope to pregnant women who are feeling scared, alone, or pressured about their pregnancy decisions.

00:22:17.820 These choices can affect not just their baby's life, but their own emotional well-being, too.

00:22:21.640 When a woman walks into a preborn clinic, she is welcomed with compassion and offered a free ultrasound so she can see and hear the little life growing inside her.

00:22:28.900 You know what? Most of the time, this powerful moment helps her choose life.

00:22:32.920 This Mother's Day, you can help both a mother in crisis and her baby.

00:22:36.880 Just $28 provides one ultrasound, or $140 covers five.

00:22:40.740 Every dollar goes directly to supporting these moms and babies.

00:22:43.320 Plus, monthly sponsors receive photos and stories of the lives they've helped save.

00:22:47.500 If you want to get involved, it's easy.

00:22:49.200 Dial pound 250, say baby, or visit preborn.com slash Knowles, K-N-W-L-E-S.

00:22:54.080 Make a difference this Mother's Day by supporting both mothers and their babies.

00:22:57.880 That is preborn.com slash Knowles.

00:22:59.540 I personally support this organization.

00:23:01.280 I encourage you to give whatever you can.

00:23:02.960 Get involved today and affect generations to come.

00:23:06.620 Speaking of bad guys and the squad in Congress,

00:23:11.560 J.D. Vance just called attention to an old video of Ilhan Omar.

00:23:14.740 This video was from 2018.

00:23:17.500 It's a little while ago now, when Ilhan Omar was first coming onto the scene in politics.

00:23:22.280 J.D. Vance just pulled this back up, and his comment on it was,

00:23:24.960 this isn't just sick, it's actually genocidal language. 0.97

00:23:28.440 What a disgrace this person is, Ilhan Omar. 0.98

00:23:31.200 What's the video? What did she say? Here it is. 0.97

00:23:34.280 I would say our country should be more fearful of white men across our country, 1.00

00:23:42.480 because they are actually causing most of the deaths within this country. 0.83

00:23:48.860 We should be profiling, monitoring, and creating policies to fight the radicalization of white men. 0.54

00:23:58.160 Okay, just a little fact check here.

00:24:01.760 The actual leading cause of death in America is heart disease.

00:24:07.120 It's not white men, it's not black men. 0.88

00:24:10.120 It's heart disease.

00:24:11.260 And it's not even causing most of the deaths, it's causing about 20% of all deaths.

00:24:15.320 So the plurality, I guess, but it's not, it ain't white men.

00:24:21.220 White men, we don't have really firm figures on this,

00:24:25.120 also because the Bureau of Justice Statistics kind of cooks the numbers a little bit. 0.78

00:24:30.000 But white men commit, at most, 46 to 47% of the murders in the country. 0.55

00:24:36.580 And the category of white men, for some reason now, includes lots of Hispanics. 0.96

00:24:40.380 So even that number is a little silly, but let's say it's, at most, 46 to 47% of the murders in the country. 0.97

00:24:48.720 White people are 60% of the population, but they commit 46 to 47% of the murders. 1.00

00:24:53.240 At least 18 to 19% of the murders in the country are committed by Hispanic men. 0.99

00:24:59.800 At least 33 to 34% of the murders are committed by black men. 0.95

00:25:04.440 Obviously, Hispanic men, much smaller proportion of the population than white men. 0.97

00:25:07.600 Black men, a much smaller proportion of the population still.

00:25:10.560 So that's nothing new.

00:25:12.100 We've known that for a long time.

00:25:13.800 Ilhan Omar is trying to flip the script here. 0.98

00:25:15.700 She's saying, well, you think that black men commit a disproportionate number of violent crimes. 1.00

00:25:23.580 But actually, I'm going to say that white men are really bad. 0.99

00:25:28.340 And it's not really based on anything. 0.99

00:25:30.460 It's based on a very, very tenuous grasp of statistics and actually just outright deception. 0.99

00:25:36.880 But what you, but I'm saying white men are bad. 0.98

00:25:41.640 Oh, what do you think about that? 0.99

00:25:44.740 Wow, golly.

00:25:46.980 That's really made me rethink the issue. 0.86

00:25:49.400 You don't like white men. 0.79

00:25:50.300 Okay. 0.66

00:25:50.780 Really here.

00:25:52.260 I fly through the statistics on this from heart disease to murder because she doesn't really care. 0.99

00:25:59.760 She doesn't really care.

00:26:00.940 There is a way to bring up statistics.

00:26:05.520 Well, she does it in a dishonest way that just isn't even close to a reflection of the real circumstances. 0.96

00:26:11.120 But there is a way to bring up statistics in a cruel and unproductive way, which is to say, you know, black men are a small percent of the population and they commit most of the crimes. 1.00

00:26:25.240 Those black men, those, you know, and you start, I don't know, you start saying racial slurs or something like that. 0.97

00:26:28.980 That's not, there's another way to say, hey, you know, black men are a relatively small number of the population and yet they disproportionately commit crimes. 0.97

00:26:37.100 And so we should try to fix that, shouldn't we? 0.93

00:26:38.740 And we should try to, when they commit those crimes, we should take that very seriously and imprison them for a long time and try to reform them.

00:26:44.080 We should try to stop them from committing crimes in the first place because it's really bad for black women and for these communities, black communities and mixed race communities. 1.00

00:26:52.580 And it's really bad for the common good.

00:26:54.140 And it's obviously bad for the victims, but it's bad for the perpetrators too because we can feel bad for the perpetrators, but only in a proper order of our sympathies with the victims being first.

00:27:03.440 And, you know, we have a responsibility to organization, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:27:06.120 That's another way to do it.

00:27:07.520 You're citing the same statistic in both cases.

00:27:10.600 What's the difference?

00:27:11.360 It's exactly what we were talking about yesterday on this whole racial question of the woman who called the kid the N-word because the kid was stealing from her toddler and then the accused Somali pedophile filmed her and harassed her and then the woman raised half a million bucks. 0.51

00:27:27.480 What's the difference on all of these racial issues?

00:27:31.500 Seems to me the difference is charity.

00:27:35.160 You can say the exact same statistic.

00:27:36.960 If you have charity or you don't have charity, totally different things.

00:27:39.580 Ilhan Omar obviously has no charity here.

00:27:42.720 Do you think she's bringing up a false statistic that white men are the leading cause of death in America because she wants to solve any problems, even an imaginary problem like the one she's making up here? 0.95

00:27:56.480 No, she just doesn't like white men. 0.94

00:27:59.020 That's what it's about. 1.00

00:27:59.780 Well, actually, you know, white men are really bad. 1.00

00:28:01.840 Okay, Ilhan, you've expressed your contempt for white men. 0.99

00:28:07.700 Can we move on now?

00:28:09.200 Can serious people start trying to conduct politics?

00:28:11.440 That'd be great.

00:28:11.920 I'd love that.

00:28:12.560 Speaking of unpleasant Democrat women, President Trump has just called out the new rising star. 1.00

00:28:19.200 Forget about Ilhan.

00:28:20.340 She's old news.

00:28:21.700 Forget about AOC.

00:28:23.240 She's passé.

00:28:24.900 Rashida Tlaib and that other one, Ayanna Pressley, they were always kind of the junior members.

00:28:30.000 The George Harrison and the Ringo Starr, respectively, of the squad.

00:28:33.940 There's a new Democrat saucy star in town.

00:28:38.000 That would be Jasmine Crockett. 0.98

00:28:39.300 And Trump is calling her out by name.

00:28:41.720 I look at the Democrats.

00:28:43.300 They're in total disarray.

00:28:44.720 They have a new person named Crockett.

00:28:47.180 I watched her speak the other day.

00:28:49.240 She's definitely a low IQ person. 1.00

00:28:52.340 And they said she's the future of the party.

00:28:54.800 I said, you have to be kidding.

00:28:56.380 I don't know what they're going to do.

00:28:58.120 He didn't even have good sense enough in that same interview to say something as simple as, yes, I will follow the Constitution.

00:29:06.220 You know, the thing that actually derived from the oath that he was supposed to take.

00:29:10.800 And he supposedly took an oath, which there's a lot of people that point out that he never put his hand on the Bible, even though he acts as if he could somehow be the Pope.

00:29:20.000 But nevertheless, that oath specifically says that you will defend the Constitution.

00:29:29.520 What?

00:29:30.140 What did you just say?

00:29:31.680 She said he.

00:29:35.160 Can you play it again?

00:29:36.560 I'm sorry.

00:29:37.480 I'm not being cute about this.

00:29:39.500 I actually am going to try to track what she said.

00:29:42.160 So first, of course, first part of the clip, Trump points out she might not have a very high IQ.

00:29:46.080 Something as simple as, yes, I will follow the Constitution.

00:29:49.860 You know, the thing that actually derived from the oath that he was supposed to take.

00:29:54.800 And he supposedly took an oath, which there's a lot of people that point out that he never put his hand on the Bible, even though he acts as if he could somehow be the Pope.

00:30:04.400 But nevertheless, that oath specifically says that he will defend.

00:30:08.080 He wants to be the Bible, and he wants to be the Pope. 0.82

00:30:11.000 And he's, I think she might have proved his point.

00:30:17.320 He took an oath.

00:30:18.760 The Constitution derives from the oath he took to defend the Constitution.

00:30:22.780 I don't think that's how derivation, anyway, anyway, enough.

00:30:26.720 No one has ever accused Jasmine Crockett of brain surgery.

00:30:32.400 Trump is doing this on purpose.

00:30:33.860 Trump is calling her out because he's really good at TV.

00:30:42.580 He's really good at show business.

00:30:44.720 He's been in it for a long time.

00:30:46.100 He was the top of the ratings in network television.

00:30:49.580 He's just very entertaining.

00:30:51.440 So he knows she makes great TV, and she's the perfect Democrat foil. 0.97

00:30:57.680 She's the hyper-real version of AOC.

00:31:05.200 It's like you took AOC, and then you concentrated her down even more.

00:31:10.240 This woman makes AOC sound like a university professor. 1.00

00:31:13.280 This, oh, wow, this is really good.

00:31:15.440 You get this Democrat who doesn't know anything, who sounds like she barely has a grasp on the English

00:31:21.580 language, who's audacious, who's offensive.

00:31:27.520 You know what we're going to do?

00:31:29.440 We're going to give her a lot of attention. 0.96

00:31:32.500 Because Trump knows the power of his words.

00:31:35.120 And so when Trump calls out a Democrat, especially if he picks a fight with a Democrat,

00:31:40.000 I mean, in fairness, she's been fighting with him before he ever knew her name.

00:31:43.040 But Trump knows that if he gives her that spotlight, that's where all the attention is going to go.

00:31:49.400 And he's going to make her a thing.

00:31:51.640 And that's very bad news for Democrats.

00:31:54.220 Because she is not likable, and she is not articulate, and she doesn't really seem to know anything at all. 0.92

00:32:03.040 Which means Republicans should be thrilled about this.

00:32:07.160 This, I am now voting, you know, we were talking about maybe the Democrats kicking out David Hogg,

00:32:12.320 one of the least likable Democrats in the country, who is now the Democrat vice chairman.

00:32:16.780 And who knows, he might lose his seat.

00:32:18.460 I want this woman to become the chairman of the DNC. 1.00

00:32:21.640 And the chairman of the DCCC, the Congressional Campaign Committee, and the Senate Committee.

00:32:26.600 And I want her to run for president. 1.00

00:32:28.420 Love that.

00:32:29.760 Love that.

00:32:30.280 Get that woman on TV all day long. 1.00

00:33:03.100 Folks, our very own Andrew Klavan has a brand new book out.

00:33:07.800 It is a must-read.

00:33:08.860 It is called The Kingdom of Cain, Finding God in the Literature of Darkness.

00:33:13.380 Only Drew could take Cain and Abel, Dostoevsky, and Hitchcock and pull out a powerful case for faith

00:33:18.580 in a fallen world.

00:33:20.180 It is sharp.

00:33:20.920 It is moving.

00:33:21.600 It is exactly what you would expect from one of the great novelists of our era

00:33:26.200 and a man who has been around since possibly before Moses, certainly before Socrates and Aristotle.

00:33:37.060 So he's got a lot of wisdom.

00:33:38.340 He's been around a long time.

00:33:39.220 Okay.

00:33:39.620 Make sure to get your copy today at store.dailywire.com.

00:33:44.940 My favorite comment yesterday is from AtDeaconCarter3459, who says,

00:33:53.760 She got 500K? 0.58

00:33:56.140 I've been saying it for free.

00:33:58.700 Okay.

00:33:59.260 No, don't.

00:34:00.180 You should not.

00:34:02.660 That's not good.

00:34:03.340 You should be polite in your language.

00:34:05.340 There are taboos that exist.

00:34:07.320 Some are more serious than others, but you have to recognize there is such a thing as to.

00:34:10.540 You don't want to call anyone that, and you certainly don't want to call a kid that, but

00:34:16.180 don't.

00:34:16.900 I did have this thought, though, yesterday.

00:34:18.100 I thought, what is an obscure racial group that I would be willing to offend for half a 1.00

00:34:24.600 million dollars?

00:34:25.140 I think the woman's now raised something like $700,000.

00:34:27.860 What group, the Albanians, maybe?

00:34:30.740 Would I be willing to offend the Albanians to get a beach house? 1.00

00:34:34.260 I don't know.

00:34:34.500 What's a good, maybe the Tibetans? 1.00

00:34:37.300 What are they going to do?

00:34:37.940 They're not going to do anything to me.

00:34:39.020 They should, would I be willing, what's a Tibetan slur?

00:34:42.300 I don't know.

00:34:43.040 I don't have any, but let me know.

00:34:44.980 If I could raise $700,000 on it, I would have to strongly consider it.

00:34:50.240 Speaking of Democrat strategy, the new Democrat narrative is launched.

00:34:55.100 You probably haven't even noticed it yet, but this is going to work its way, not just

00:34:58.860 through the Jasmine Crockett's of the world, but through the mainstream establishment Democrat

00:35:02.500 outlets, New York Times, Washington Post, all the rest.

00:35:05.500 The narrative is that President Trump is enriching himself.

00:35:12.220 He's violating the Emoluments Clause.

00:35:13.780 He's enriching himself.

00:35:14.980 He's sending his kids around the world to raise money on his political influence, and

00:35:19.520 Don Jr. is the new Hunter Biden.

00:35:21.460 That's the narrative.

00:35:23.140 Here it is in the New York Times just yesterday.

00:35:26.640 Trump's son's deals on three continents directly benefit the president.

00:35:31.420 Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump spent the last two weeks traveling the world and announcing

00:35:35.580 new ventures involving billions of dollars.

00:35:39.560 First paragraph.

00:35:41.720 A contest of sorts has played out across Europe, the United States, and the Middle East.

00:35:45.820 In recent days, as President Trump's two older sons have pursued a blitz of family money-making

00:35:49.680 ventures capitalizing on their father's name and power, each seemingly trying to outdo the

00:35:54.340 other.

00:35:55.060 It is a rush to cash in that involves billions of dollars with few precedents in American history.

00:36:00.280 All right, you get the rest of it.

00:36:01.200 I don't need to read the rest.

00:36:03.840 They're trying to turn Don Jr. into the new Hunter Biden.

00:36:08.040 And people who are shallow in their analysis are going to buy it.

00:36:12.180 That's why it's a narrative that they're willing to try out on their mainstream outlets.

00:36:16.040 But the comparison is totally preposterous.

00:36:20.300 The Trump organization has existed with business interests around the world for a very, very long

00:36:27.220 time.

00:36:27.520 In 2015, before Trump became president or ran for president, the Trump organization had properties

00:36:35.900 built or underway in, of course, lots of parts of the United States and Scotland, Canada,

00:36:43.560 Panama, Dubai, Turkey, India, Azerbaijan, Brazil, and South Korea.

00:36:49.320 That wasn't Trump cashing in after he was president, after he was elected president, even after he ran for

00:36:56.540 president.

00:36:57.660 That was Trump just being Trump, being a successful businessman.

00:37:02.380 Donald Trump Jr. has worked for the Trump organization for something like 24, 25 years.

00:37:16.260 Don Jr. worked for the Trump organization for 15 years before Trump got elected the first time.

00:37:21.600 The reason that Hunter Biden taking money from all of these corrupt governments around the world was a big

00:37:30.100 scandal is because Hunter Biden didn't have any skills.

00:37:32.800 So when Hunter Biden is paid a million dollars from the Ukrainian natural gas state-owned conglomerate,

00:37:41.180 that's a scandal because Hunter Biden doesn't know anything about natural gas.

00:37:45.920 He doesn't know anything about Ukraine.

00:37:47.140 He doesn't speak the language. 0.96

00:37:48.080 He's, he was a drug addict who took money to try so that this corrupt government in Ukraine could buy 0.87

00:37:55.240 the influence of his father was then the vice president. 0.75

00:37:57.220 That's why that was a scandal.

00:37:59.420 It, it would not have been a scandal had Hunter Biden actually been a businessman with business

00:38:05.240 deals and relationships that predated his father's entry into politics.

00:38:08.380 That wouldn't have been possible because Joe Biden has been a senator since before he was legally

00:38:12.360 allowed to be a senator.

00:38:14.840 The Trump organization is different.

00:38:18.080 The Trump organization's international interests long predated Trump's entry into politics.

00:38:24.220 So what the libs could try to argue now is, well, yeah, but it's, he, he should have divested

00:38:30.240 all of his interests or something.

00:38:31.280 First of all, how, how is Trump going to divest from Trump?

00:38:35.280 The organization is him.

00:38:36.920 It's the Trump organization.

00:38:38.580 Okay.

00:38:39.280 It's, it's built on his reputation, his charisma, his skills.

00:38:45.380 So you can't, you can't quite, it's not quite like Dick Cheney.

00:38:48.400 You know, selling his shares of Halliburton or something like that.

00:38:51.060 It's Trump.

00:38:51.820 He could, Trump could practically try to lose, or in principle, lose every interest he has

00:38:57.240 in the Trump organization.

00:38:58.160 It's still a Trump organization.

00:39:00.120 So really what the libs are arguing, I'm trying to be as sympathetic to their argument

00:39:04.160 as possible.

00:39:04.980 Really what they're arguing is we should never have a businessman as president.

00:39:08.560 Because businessmen build up business interests and a business reputation over the decades.

00:39:15.620 And often they have their family members, their children take on the family business,

00:39:18.920 and we just shouldn't have businessmen in politics.

00:39:21.820 But guess what?

00:39:23.140 The American people intentionally elected a businessman to high political office because

00:39:28.880 he was a businessman in large part.

00:39:31.000 Because we've had feckless political operatives and bureaucrats running the show for a long 1.00

00:39:35.520 time, and they've really screwed it up.

00:39:38.460 So Trump runs for office on being a businessman.

00:39:42.820 By the way, he's not the only one.

00:39:44.280 Mitt Romney ran for office on being a businessman.

00:39:46.460 The big pitch for Mitt Romney at the RNC that year was that Romney knows about business,

00:39:51.120 and we need a businessman in office to clean up the government. 0.99

00:39:54.180 Calvin Coolidge said 100 years ago that the business of America is business.

00:39:58.840 The businessman knows his business best.

00:40:00.820 So the libs can make that argument all they want. 0.97

00:40:03.720 But this comparison between Trump and Biden is just completely preposterous.

00:40:08.760 A successful business continuing to have business interests as it has for 40, 50 years is not 0.91

00:40:18.740 the same as some crook, crackhead, failed lawyer going around with a money bag when his dad is 0.58

00:40:25.240 the vice president so he can shake down foreign governments for bribes. 0.97

00:40:29.020 Those are completely different situations.

00:40:31.140 And the irony, of course, is the New York Times would not have wanted to investigate Joe Biden

00:40:36.040 or Hunter Biden for obvious corruption, and yet they go after Trump for having totally

00:40:42.560 transparent business interests that the American people knew when they elected him with the

00:40:45.820 popular vote.

00:40:47.100 Speaking of parents and their children, there's a disturbing story.

00:40:51.580 Disturbing story out of the Financial Times, the rise of single parents by choice. 1.00

00:40:59.600 Not the rise of single parents.

00:41:02.500 Single parents have been around for a long time.

00:41:05.060 Some of us, some of our best friends were raised by single parents.

00:41:11.000 Single parents by choice. 0.94

00:41:13.160 Navigating work and family brings particular pressures for those deciding to have children

00:41:17.600 alone.

00:41:18.940 First paragraph, they call it the five to midnight thing, says Annabelle Deering, senior legal

00:41:22.500 counsel at NBW, an energy company.

00:41:24.920 As she turned 39, Deering, then single, realized time was running out to have a child.

00:41:31.920 She goes on.

00:41:32.540 And she says, you know, I was busy, busy, I was working, I had my career, I played hard,

00:41:37.200 I went to a lot of brunches.

00:41:38.660 But, you know, I never felt like I had a purpose.

00:41:41.420 Then a friend suggested I have a baby.

00:41:44.160 And so she goes out and has a baby.

00:41:47.920 The number of single patients undertaking fertility treatments, including IVF and donor insemination

00:41:52.080 in the UK, rose from 305 in 1999 to 4,660 in 2022, according to the data from the Human

00:42:00.160 Fertilization and Embryology Authority.

00:42:02.440 This is not a good way to start out being a parent.

00:42:08.780 This is understandable.

00:42:10.140 Everything that article is describing, I know people.

00:42:13.800 We all know people like this because our culture has told women to prioritize career 0.98

00:42:18.980 and have promiscuous sex and don't take relationships seriously and definitely don't get married

00:42:24.440 young and maybe don't get married at all.

00:42:26.840 But then nature wins again.

00:42:32.120 Women reach a certain age. 0.82

00:42:33.080 They say, you know, the casual sex and the brunches and working in the widget factory for 0.99

00:42:37.160 Dr. McGillicuddy, it's not cutting it.

00:42:39.820 I want to have a kid.

00:42:42.540 But I don't have a boyfriend.

00:42:43.860 I don't have a husband.

00:42:45.260 Time's running out.

00:42:46.960 I'm just going to have a kid.

00:42:48.280 I'm just going to go to it.

00:42:49.400 I'm going to go to the baby store. 0.97

00:42:50.600 I'm going to purchase some guy's sperm. 1.00

00:42:54.220 And then I'm going to have a kid and I'm going to intentionally create a child with the 1.00

00:42:58.440 purpose of depriving him of his father.

00:43:00.960 This is the worst, worst possible way to start out as a parent.

00:43:07.160 Because you are beginning your journey as a parent by prioritizing your own desires over

00:43:15.360 what is best for your child.

00:43:19.440 Right at the beginning, if you start out this way, you are starting out being a parent from

00:43:26.680 a position of failure.

00:43:30.300 Doesn't mean you can't try to make the best of a bad situation, but this is the worst possible

00:43:36.220 way to start.

00:43:37.860 It is the fundamental distinction between classical and liberal society.

00:43:46.180 The classical society, we were talking about it earlier in the show.

00:43:49.420 We're talking about it with Alcatraz.

00:43:50.460 The classical society knows what things are from their natures and knows their natures

00:43:56.960 in large part by what they're for.

00:43:58.440 What is a thing for?

00:44:00.800 Show me what a thing is for.

00:44:02.020 I'll tell you what a thing is.

00:44:04.540 And liberal society says, no, no, no.

00:44:08.940 Things can be whatever I want them to be.

00:44:10.460 So the classical society, put it even more simply, classical society is ordered toward the good

00:44:18.780 of the child, the good of the family, the good of the community, the ultimate good.

00:44:23.340 It's ordered toward God.

00:44:25.420 That's true even in pagan societies to varying degrees.

00:44:29.840 Certainly in our Christian society.

00:44:31.400 It's ordered toward God.

00:44:33.320 Liberal society makes you a God, makes the individual a God.

00:44:37.360 Self-deification.

00:44:40.680 So here you say, okay, great.

00:44:42.100 Well, I don't, God can create without any human interaction at all.

00:44:48.820 God just creates things out of nothing.

00:44:50.700 Well, that's what I'm going to do.

00:44:51.700 In the ordinary course of things, if you want to create a child, you need a member of the

00:44:56.640 opposite sex.

00:44:57.660 And ideally you get married for life and then you do that thing the married couples do and 0.99

00:45:01.180 then you get a child.

00:45:02.280 But that doesn't, that means that I'm dependent on someone.

00:45:05.200 That means that I don't have full use of my autonomy.

00:45:07.560 That means that I'm not God.

00:45:09.000 So if I want to be God, or if I need, if I want to flatter myself into pretending that I'm God,

00:45:13.800 then I'm not going to go find another person and engage in the compromises and even sometimes

00:45:19.160 the suffering that goes along with living as a political animal.

00:45:24.280 No, no, no.

00:45:24.760 I'm just going to go take whatever money I've earned at the widget factory.

00:45:27.420 I'm going to spend all of it at the baby store. 0.99

00:45:29.680 I'm going to buy some guy's sperm, some pervert degenerate guy's sperm. 1.00

00:45:34.340 I'm going to buy it and then I'm going to create a kid and the kid's going to suffer 0.99

00:45:38.020 because he's, he was created never to know his father, but I might finally feel a purpose.

00:45:44.700 Maybe.

00:45:47.600 Not a good way to start.

00:45:48.900 Really bad for the kids, but I don't even just bring up the story as a, as a kind of

00:45:52.100 church lady, you know, won't somebody please think of the children.

00:45:54.260 I mean, I just won't, won't somebody think of anything at all.

00:46:00.300 It's so perfectly backwards.

00:46:04.340 Hard, hard to go right from there.

00:46:06.780 On that chipper note, today's Tee Hee Hee Tuesday.
