00:00:00.000 A Republican Congress lady just showed a nude photo of herself in Congress. 0.89
00:00:04.660 The Republican Secretary of State and Department of Justice are using civil rights and immigration
00:00:09.740 law to fight anti-white racism. And the Republican president is laughing in the media's face
00:00:16.720 after federal law enforcement arrested a Democrat Congress lady. If you somehow have not noticed yet,
00:00:24.860 this is not your grandfather's Republican Party. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles
00:00:29.400 Show. Welcome back to the show. Hillary Clinton is back and she has advice for the future first
00:00:55.760 female president. Isn't that sort of like me giving advice to the quarterback of the Denver Broncos? 1.00
00:01:00.900 I have a lot more to say and I will say it. I will get to it. But first, I want to tell you to go to
00:01:06.040 vandycrisps.com slash Knowles. Spring is when we throw open the windows and freshen up, including
00:01:13.100 refreshing our kitchens. It is time to ditch seed oils and process snacks. Vandy crisps are just real
00:01:19.320 potato chips made the old-fashioned way. They taste better than any chip you've ever tried.
00:01:24.160 They, frankly, they taste like a different thing. They taste like what a potato chip is supposed to
00:01:30.240 taste like. In your mind, in your repressed memory of ancestral knowledge, what you know that a potato
00:01:37.560 chip should always have been, that's what a Vandy crisp is. I'm really not being hyperbolic. It's just
00:01:43.740 absolutely phenomenal. They are the first real potato chip you've ever tasted. They're made the
00:01:49.260 way they were made 100 years ago. Just three simple ingredients, heirloom potatoes, grass-fed beef
00:01:53.640 tallow, and sea salt. That is it. That grass-fed tallow, it's not just for flavor. It's packed with
00:01:58.900 nutrients that are great for your brain, your skin, and your hormones. You're not going to get that
00:02:02.600 heavy, sluggish feeling you get from regular chips. I can't recommend these highly enough.
00:02:07.000 They're just phenomenal. 100% American-made. Now is the perfect time to start snacking right.
00:02:13.040 Go to vandycrisps.com slash Knowles today. Get 25% off your order. We have to start with the
00:02:20.060 Nancy Mace story, don't we? I've looked at it from every angle, not the picture I'm saying. I've
00:02:25.740 looked at the news of the day from every angle. I think we have to begin with the naked Nancy Mace 1.00
00:02:32.520 story. Yesterday, Republican Congressman Nancy Mace, who's been on the show, tweeted out. She said,
00:02:41.000 I'm going to go there. I am going to show a nude photo of myself today in Congress to take on a
00:02:48.280 very serious issue that affects women and pertains to sexual assault and predation and all the rest of
00:02:54.160 it. So people were, they were tuned in. They were curious. People, that raised an eyebrow. And here
00:03:02.060 is what Nancy Mace showed. I speak not just as a lawmaker, but as a survivor. Starting on November
00:03:09.740 5th, 2023, I discovered my former fiance, Patrick Bryant, had filmed women without their knowledge,
00:03:16.900 without their permission, and without their consent. He appeared to catalog his tapes and footage and
00:03:23.760 images and photos in the way that he saved the files. And he stored these images, photos, and videos
00:03:30.480 for years. Exhibit one. Behind me is a screenshot from one of the videos I found of myself. The yellow
00:03:40.400 circle, this naked silhouette, is my naked body. I didn't know that I had been filmed. I didn't give
00:03:51.060 my consent. I didn't give my permission. And this particular video that Patrick Bryant recorded of me
00:03:57.920 on his secret camera, he saved for over three years without my knowledge. Okay. So the allegation
00:04:05.860 from Nancy Mace is that her, her former fiance secretly recorded her. Now you can see from the,
00:04:11.700 the camera angle, this is a camera angle into his, what looks like his living room. So it's not a camera
00:04:18.540 into his bedroom, which would be a little creepier. It's into his living room. So some people are saying,
00:04:23.840 well, it's just a security camera, but I don't know the way she's talking about it. She says there are
00:04:27.980 multiple cameras and he cataloged the videos of multiple women. So, so the way she's describing it,
00:04:34.820 it sounds like it wasn't just a routine security camera. It might've been something more nefarious.
00:04:39.760 Her ex fiance issued a statement said her allegations are absolutely baseless. And I will at the right
00:04:44.780 time do whatever is necessary and appropriate to clear my name, to prove my integrity and to restore
00:04:49.180 my reputation in the community. I'm not going to get into the specific allegation specifically
00:04:56.380 regarding Nancy Mace and her ex fiance here, because I don't know. I, no matter how this story turned
00:05:03.380 out, it wouldn't totally surprise me. It is true that men can be creeps so that it could be that.
00:05:08.700 Also it's true that hell hath no fury like a woman scorns and people have security cameras. So I don't 0.99
00:05:14.000 know. I just don't know. And presumably this will be worked out in court. I don't know that the
00:05:18.920 political point to me that is more interesting is the one that Nancy Mace is raising in Congress, 0.97
00:05:24.160 which is we need protection for people from voyeurs. And that that's obviously true because
00:05:31.300 there are cameras everywhere all over the world right now. So I totally understand that.
00:05:34.260 But then there's an even deeper philosophical point that the point that both the left and the
00:05:40.160 right seem to agree on here is that we need more privacy. And I don't really think that's true.
00:05:46.920 Virtually everyone on the left and the right seem to agree. We need more privacy. We need,
00:05:52.340 we need more individualism. We need more isolation. We need more protection from the community. I
00:05:58.140 don't know that that's true. I think in some ways we, the advent of all of this new technology
00:06:05.360 might impel people to behave better. I wonder, this might just be my Italian speaking. Okay.
00:06:10.340 You know that I'm of Italian extraction. The Italians do not have a word for privacy.
00:06:14.960 When you say the word privacy in Italian, you say, dobbiamo parlare della privacy. They have to
00:06:20.420 borrow it from English because Italians don't have any privacy. But I have found, I'll just use 1.00
00:06:26.220 myself as an example. Ever since I've had a modicum of public profile, some people complain
00:06:33.320 about that. I think that's a nice thing because I assume that I'm always being watched. I assume
00:06:38.620 people are always spying on my computer. I assume that there's always someone in public,
00:06:42.520 some lib waiting to record me doing something stupid or yelling or something like that.
00:06:47.300 I just assume that everything's public. There are cameras everywhere now, as Nancy Mace is pointing
00:06:52.060 out. And so I have found that that knowledge impels me to behave a little bit better.
00:07:00.520 There's an old line in politics, which is never send something in an email or a text that you would
00:07:04.640 not be comfortable reading on the cover of the New York Times. I find that's not necessarily a bad
00:07:10.080 thing. I find that impels me to behave better. Because ultimately, we're not isolated creatures.
00:07:16.320 Ultimately, there's no such thing as a private sin. Because we're social creatures, so everything we do
00:07:22.060 affects the community. If you go out and murder someone, that seems like a more public sin than if
00:07:26.900 you go, I don't know, get addicted to drugs or porn or some other kind of vice, I don't know, or
00:07:33.840 gluttony or wrath or whatever. But you just kind of keep it all in and it seems private. But it's not
00:07:37.820 really private because it affects who we are and we're constituent parts of the community. So I
00:07:42.980 don't know. This is just my little suggestion while we're debating this topic for this from a 30,000
00:07:48.460 foot view. Do we really need more privacy? Do we really need more individualism? Do we really need
00:07:54.160 more social alienation? Or is it the opposite? Have we all become too locked up in our own little
00:07:59.520 solipsistic boxes? So much so that we no longer have a shared agreement on what reality is. So much so
00:08:05.900 that now we try to redefine basic aspects of our human nature like our sex. I don't know. I think
00:08:11.180 maybe a little, the knowledge that we don't actually have privacy, that privacy is kind of
00:08:15.960 an illusion. Privacy and individual autonomy, the absolute highest virtues of liberalism,
00:08:22.940 but not really virtues in the real sense. I don't know. The fact that we know that we don't have
00:08:26.440 that privacy, maybe that will get us all to act a little bit better. I'm not saying Nancy Mace's
00:08:31.120 bill shouldn't pass. We need protection for people from creeps and predators and voyeurs and all the
00:08:35.120 rest of that. But just as we think about these growing technologies, I know it's very untrad and
00:08:40.720 unconservative of me. Maybe this technological fact will get us all to act a little bit better.
00:08:46.080 And I think we could, I think we could all use that. We don't need more privacy. We need more
00:08:50.980 solidarity. And you're seeing this not only in America, you're seeing this over in the UK too.
00:08:55.800 The British prime minister, who's a liberal, Keir Starmer, has just come out and said
00:09:02.660 that mass migration is not necessarily a great thing. Actually, mass migration risks turning Brits 1.00
00:09:13.480 into an island of strangers.
00:09:17.820 These rules become even more important. Without them, we risk becoming an island of strangers,
00:09:25.660 not a nation that walks forward together.
00:09:28.380 So when you have an immigration system that seems almost designed to permit abuse, that encourages
00:09:37.100 some businesses to bring in lower paid workers rather than invest in our young people, or simply
00:09:44.580 one that is sold by politicians to the British people on an entirely false premise, then you're
00:09:51.500 not championing growth. You're not championing justice, or however else people defend the status
00:09:58.460 quo. You're actually contributing to the forces that are slowly pulling our country apart.
00:10:05.660 So yes, I believe in this. I believe we need to reduce immigration significantly. 1.00
00:10:12.940 This is just the latest. This might be the clearest sign that we have had a total sea change in the
00:10:21.760 immigration conversation. Now, where is this coming from? This is coming from what's happening on the
00:10:27.700 ground in the UK. There was a study just came out from the more in common polling firm that showed
00:10:32.820 that, and this was before the prime minister's speech, 44% of Brits feel like strangers in their own
00:10:40.820 country. As well, they should. You walk around London, you think you're walking around Karachi. 1.00
00:10:45.880 No knock on the migrants. It's just, you know, they stand out. They're not exactly British. 1.00
00:10:51.460 They're certainly not English. And it's true throughout the West. You walk around Paris, 0.99
00:10:57.140 you feel odd if you're not wearing a burqa, at least a hijab. You walk around much of the United
00:11:02.880 States and you feel strange for speaking English. And there's something deeply upsetting about that.
00:11:11.200 To see your country being radically changed against your will.
00:11:16.700 And politicians are at least noticing it, even if they're not doing anything about it. And it's not
00:11:21.000 just the conservatives. Keir Starmer is a huge lib. And Keir Starmer is coming out and saying,
00:11:27.140 I think we need to radically reduce immigration or we're going to become an island of strangers. 1.00
00:11:32.160 To put this in perspective, 60 years ago, Enoch Powell, who was considered the furthest,
00:11:39.160 most far-right, quasi-fascistic right-winger in the UK, Enoch Powell gave a very famous speech,
00:11:46.120 the Rivers of Blood speech. Enoch Powell was a classicist. So the Rivers of Blood speech
00:11:50.280 referenced a line from Virgil's Aeneid, the book six of the Aeneid, the political book. And he was mocked at
00:11:57.700 the time. They called it the Rivers of Blood speech about how terrible mass migration is going to be
00:12:02.520 to the country. He was derided. He was mocked. He was pushed to the fringe. Now the liberal PM of the UK
00:12:09.500 is giving, in some ways, a clearer, blunter, more intense version of that speech. Total, total change.
00:12:20.700 Total change. And if the liberals and the centrists and the former centrists, now they're quite far on
00:12:27.260 the left, and the squish Republicans, if they don't get on board with this, they are going to be washed 0.95
00:12:32.000 away. They will be washed away in Enoch Powell's Rivers of Blood because people are sick of feeling
00:12:37.840 like strangers in their own country, and they're justified in that. They're justified in that. 0.81
00:12:43.540 You have a right as a citizen to feel like your country is your country.
00:12:48.820 Because a country is not just an economic zone, and a country is not just a geographic area that
00:12:54.700 happens to be shared by a bunch of radical individuals that have nothing to do with each
00:12:58.840 other. A country is a country, and you are entitled to your countrymen and your way of life
00:13:03.940 and your rights and your traditions. And people know that intuitively, even if they don't have
00:13:08.760 the language to express it. And if a politician's going to undermine that and not going to respond,
00:13:14.200 that politician's going to get wiped away. Hold on. Stop what you're doing. We will get back to my
00:13:18.220 point in one moment. First, though, go to shopbeam.com slash Knowles. I like to sleep,
00:13:25.380 okay? And I don't get enough sleep. Sometimes, when I was younger, I didn't get enough sleep

00:14:43.100 Marco Rubio, who is a clubbable, respectable, not exactly a bomb-throwing politician. He's a
00:14:51.420 totally mainstream Republican politician. He just called out Tim Kaine. Tim Kaine, Democrat
00:14:58.340 senator. He was Hillary Clinton's running mate. He was this close to becoming one heartbeat away from
00:15:03.360 being the second woman president. Marco Rubio called him out for anti-white racism over the matter of
00:15:12.540 white Afrikaners coming to the United States as refugees. But I'm going to ask you, what so a
00:15:18.740 well-justified fear of persecution? Yeah, they thought that their farms were being burned down
00:15:22.380 and they would be killed. I think that's a pretty good justification for wanting to come. They're
00:15:25.640 afraid for their lives. And should it be applied in an even-handed way? That's an easy question.
00:15:29.500 No, our foreign policy doesn't require even-handedness. It requires prioritizing the interest of the
00:15:34.780 United States. The statutory phrase says you are entitled to entrance as a refugee if you demonstrate a
00:15:39.560 well-justified fear of persecution. No, no, you're not entitled to allow it. So can you have a
00:15:43.760 different standard based upon the color of somebody's skin? Would that be acceptable?
00:15:46.980 Well, I'm not the one arguing that. Apparently you are, because you don't like the fact that
00:15:49.820 they're white and that's why they're coming. No, I'm just asking you to say that that would be 1.00
00:15:51.660 unacceptable. Well, no, I would say that the United States- That would seem to be a very easy thing to say.
00:15:54.880 The United States has a right to pick and choose who they allow into the United States. 0.86
00:15:57.820 Even based on the color of somebody's skin, you're saying? No, you're the one that's talking about the 1.00
00:16:00.860 color of their skin, not me. These are people whose farms were being burned down and they were killed
00:16:04.680 because of the color of their skin. Then they cut his microphone. Well, you've demonstrated enough
00:16:10.800 because you think anyone should be allowed into this country for any reason because they met a 1.00
00:16:13.820 certain criteria. Who has said that? We are going to prioritize people that come into our country 1.00
00:16:17.620 on the basis of what's in the interest of this country. Done and done. Tim Kaine, absolutely furious
00:16:24.440 here. Tim Kaine, who has slowly since 2016 morphed into Jack Nicholson's Joker. More and more each
00:16:31.740 year, the hair gets a little wilder. The eyebrows kind of go up. Hello, Batman. And there's Rubio
00:16:37.740 sitting there and he says, yeah, we're going to let these people in because they're being threatened
00:16:41.480 and their farms are being burned down and they're being raped and murdered. And we're going to do
00:16:45.340 that. You want to let everyone into this country except for these people for some reason. And I'll 1.00
00:16:48.820 tell you exactly why you don't want to let them in. You don't like them because they're white. 1.00
00:16:53.260 And that's it. It's not that Tim Kaine and the left doesn't like the Afrikaners because they have that 0.99
00:17:00.880 silly accent. They do have a silly accent. One time I heard a comedian describe the South African
00:17:07.360 accent as being like playing a London accent reverse on a record player. Hello, my name's
00:17:12.120 Johnny from London. It's not that. It's not that the liberal politicians have a problem with the
00:17:18.860 accent. It's not that they don't like farmers. They say we need to have mass migration from Latin
00:17:23.580 America controlled by the cartels bringing face tattooed Satan worshiping gangsters over here
00:17:28.360 specifically so these guys can work the farms and pick the grapes and do the jobs Americans 0.99
00:17:32.140 supposedly don't want to do. It's not a problem with the farms. They don't like them because
00:17:36.900 they're white. They'll take in everybody from around the world, no matter criminal record,
00:17:42.020 no matter the economic contribution they can make, no matter anything, as long as they're not white. 0.97
00:17:46.280 So that's what it comes down to. The Episcopalian bishop in the United States who loves to resettle 0.99
00:17:55.520 refugees said we're going to end this refugee resettlement program because we refuse to resettle
00:18:00.240 white people from South Africa because we don't like the white people. And Rubio says that's wrong.
00:18:05.400 There was a campaign. It was a while ago now. I want to say it was 2015-2016. And it was promoted by
00:18:15.800 these white identitarians on college campuses and in public places. And the whole camp, it was a
00:18:22.140 brilliant campaign. The whole campaign was putting up flyers that said it's okay to be white. 0.86
00:18:29.240 And no matter the motives, no matter some of the bad ideas of these identitarians who are putting
00:18:37.280 this up, the campaign was brilliant because the left had so overreached in overt anti-white
00:18:46.060 rhetoric and discrimination. We need to abolish whiteness. White people are oppressors and this and 1.00
00:18:51.260 that. That the simple phrase, it's okay to be white. Not it's good to be white. Not you should be 0.94
00:18:58.640 proud of being white. Not white people should have power. And I just said, it's okay. It's okay to be 0.52
00:19:04.540 white. And the left couldn't handle that. That was too much for them. And that's going to cause a 0.97
00:19:09.640 blowback. As I pointed out, you know, I hate to say I told you so, but as I pointed out for months,
00:19:16.240 really for years, I've been pointing this out. If you have, according to Pew, a system where black 1.00
00:19:21.920 people have a 70% plus racial consciousness, Asians and Hispanics have 50% plus racial consciousness,
00:19:28.160 and white people have 15% racial consciousness, and you have a left that is increasingly
00:19:32.340 discriminating against openly white people, you're going to see an increase in that racial
00:19:37.800 consciousness. And you're going to have people like Marco Rubio, who's a little swarthy himself,
00:19:43.840 a similar skin color to me, Marco Rubio from Cuba. He says, hey, we're not going to discriminate
00:19:49.380 against people because they're white. You will. You guys hate white people. We don't hate white
00:19:53.520 people. So the white people get to come in. 59 white farmers from South Africa who are being
00:19:58.120 threatened with rape and murder, they get to come into the country. And you can cry about it all 0.99
00:20:01.300 you want, Tim Kaine, but we're going to do it. Too bad. You're seeing this at a very high level in
00:20:08.740 the government. It's not just from Marco Rubio. It's not just with regard to the Afrikaners.
00:20:13.300 It's throughout the administration. Marvelous announcement last night from the DOJ Civil Rights
00:20:17.720 Division. So after the Civil Rights Act passed in the 1960s, there have been many Civil Rights
00:20:23.960 Acts throughout American history, but the big one in the 1960s, after that, you see the establishment
00:20:29.300 of an almost parallel government and parallel constitution. This was the subject of Christopher
00:20:35.820 Caldwell's book, The Age of Entitlement, which observed that with the passage of the Civil Rights
00:20:40.720 Act in the 1960s, you get a kind of parallel constitution in the form of the Civil Rights Act with
00:20:45.980 all of its various titles, Title VII, Title VI, Title IX, that have a real tension with the
00:20:51.920 constitution because the constitution enshrines freedom of association and the Civil Rights
00:20:56.040 Act undermines freedom of association. So now you've got two kind of rival bases of American law.
00:21:03.620 And so all these government departments have their own civil rights office.
00:21:08.100 Civil rights becomes another form of government. And Republicans for many decades now,
00:21:15.640 conservatives for many decades have said, that's wrong, and we shouldn't have that. And we need
00:21:19.240 to return to the constitution. And that's actually going to be the best way to protect the rights
00:21:22.820 for everybody. And forget about all these unconstitutional changes in the 1960s. And
00:21:28.260 the Republicans now, after the Trump revolution, say, no, that tactic hasn't worked.
00:21:36.560 We're not going to deny that there have been changes to our government throughout the 20th century.
00:21:40.560 We're going to use them. And so that's what you see. The DOJ Civil Rights Division comes out
00:21:45.580 and says that they've opened an investigation of the employment practices of the city of Chicago,
00:21:53.300 Illinois, to determine whether it has engaged in a pattern or practice of racial discrimination in
00:21:58.660 violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. Whenever this is brought up, it's because of some
00:22:04.040 supposed injustice against black people or Hispanic people, maybe Asian people, maybe Jewish people,
00:22:11.780 but never, never white people. Same thing with the sexual protections. There will be investigations
00:22:20.460 to see if there's been discrimination against gay people or lesbians or bisexual or trans or pans or
00:22:25.940 thank you, ma'ams, but never against normally sexually minded people.
00:22:30.200 And Trump is going in and he's saying, you know, we're going to protect,
00:22:35.100 we're going to protect every race, every background, but we're also going to protect
00:22:38.160 white people. We're going to protect everything that we're supposed to protect with the Civil 0.94
00:22:43.120 Rights Act, but we're also going to protect the people that haven't been protected. Because you
00:22:48.240 remember, I played it on the show yesterday, the mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, was bragging
00:22:52.700 about how he prefers black people and he prefers to hire black people over white people and how he views
00:22:58.820 black people as our people, white people, presumably not our people. And he says,
00:23:02.820 black people are better and they're more generous. And that's why I discriminate against whites 1.00
00:23:06.200 to hire blacks. Here's what he said. Here are his words. I want to put words in his mouth. Here's 0.72
00:23:10.420 what he said. Some detractors that will push back on me and say, you know, the only thing that
00:23:15.840 the mayor talks about is the hiring of black people. No, what I'm saying is when you hire our people,
00:23:22.400 we always look out for everybody else. We are the most generous people on the planet.
00:23:28.820 I don't know too many cultures that have play cousins. That's how generous we are. We just
00:23:36.880 make somebody a family member, right? This is how we are. And so business and economic neighborhood
00:23:44.820 development, the deputy mayor is a black woman. Department of Planning and Development is a black
00:23:51.420 woman. Infrastructure deputy mayor is a black woman. Chief operations officer is a black man.
00:23:59.860 Budget director is a black woman. Senior advisor is a black man. And I'm laying that out because when 0.99
00:24:07.940 you when you ask, how do we ensure that our people get a chance to grow their business?
00:24:15.480 So he is insinuating that he's committed a crime. What he is insinuating here, if not admitting
00:24:23.960 outright, if not just totally confessing, is that he's committed a crime, which is to discriminate
00:24:29.680 in employment on the basis of race. And in the past, the Republicans would have had one of two
00:24:37.180 answers to this. The squishes would have said, well, it's OK. You know, I mean, really, white people 0.92
00:24:40.660 have had it too good for too long. And black people really are oppressed by the evil white man. And
00:24:44.080 really, we may a culpa, may a culpa, may a maxima culpa. Please only hire black people, don't hire white 1.00
00:24:47.900 people. That would have been the squish response. And then the principled conservative response would
00:24:52.980 have been that we should not even acknowledge the excesses of the civil rights laws because they
00:25:01.100 undermine the Constitution. And we need to just get back to 1789, baby. We need to get back to the
00:25:06.320 late 18th century. That's how we're going to restore our republic. What the Trump administration is doing
00:25:12.280 is saying, hey, we're not going to have this racial grievance struggle session. We're not going to have a
00:25:17.960 new caste system where we say that certain races are better than others. And we're going to give black 1.00
00:25:22.480 people everything and Hispanic people some things and Asian people basically nothing and white people 0.99
00:25:27.840 less than nothing. And Jewish people, we're going to classify them differently depending on the day of 1.00
00:25:31.860 the week. And we're not going to have that. OK. And also, we're not going to pretend that the government
00:25:37.700 is different than it is. Sixty years ago, there was a big change to our government. There are always changes
00:25:42.320 to our government. And so you can either react according to the real political circumstances that you
00:25:48.100 live in, or you can bury your head in the sand and pretend that politics is different than it is.
00:25:53.160 Well, you know, if only this were 1776. Well, it's not, buddy. It's 2025.
00:25:58.880 And the left has succeeded at changing the political order to some degree. So we can either
00:26:04.820 let them continue to run amok, or we can allow them to be hoisted by their own petard.
00:26:09.920 That's what Trump is doing. Trump is hoisting the left with its own petard. And I am here for it.
00:26:16.460 That is a good political strategy. And it is conducive toward, it is in service of, justice.
00:26:23.780 Also, it's politically very effective.
00:26:25.720 America is built on hard work and powered by American energy. Chevron has spent $44 billion
00:26:32.840 with local businesses across all 50 states since 2022, fueling infrastructure and communities,
00:26:39.060 all while strengthening local economies. Last year, Chevron increased U.S. production nearly 20%,
00:26:44.900 powering communities and businesses from the heartlands to the coast. We're helping to fuel
00:26:49.400 America's energy advantage, building a brighter future right here at home. Visit chevron.com

00:26:59.980 out. And I think it might be, might be getting sat on by some of the old social media algorithms,
00:27:05.980 because it's very much a dissident perspective for the public authorities. Nevertheless, it's still
00:27:13.120 leaking out, still making, making some waves. That would be Michael and the vaccine dissident.
00:27:19.260 And one of the most controversial episodes we've ever done, I sat down with Dr. Andrew Wakefield.
00:27:24.620 We dive deep into the science, the scandals, the questions. The CDA doesn't, the CDC rather,
00:27:29.980 does not want you asking, covering everything from vaccine risks to public health cover-ups. Check
00:27:34.260 out this teaser. I started getting calls from parents saying, my child was perfectly normal.
00:27:46.200 They stopped sleeping at night. They were screaming. They were in pain. The lights went out in their
00:27:51.360 eyes. It was a very common description. Doctors say, this is just part of autism. Get over it. Put your
00:27:57.380 child in a home. Have another child and forget about it. What were they thinking? This is their quote.
00:28:03.020 We are not going to be left with an orphan drug. And so it was decided to avoid that.
00:28:10.380 They would put it into one-day-old influence.

00:28:26.160 Speaking of prosecutions and investigations, Representative LaMonica McIver, who is that
00:28:35.540 Democrat Congress lady who insurrected at the DHS facility and was pushing cops around, and she was 1.00
00:28:41.580 arrested for her misbehavior there. President Trump was just asked about this. He was asked what he
00:28:48.660 feels about. Is this the persecution of his political enemies? Could you imagine arresting members of the
00:28:54.920 opposite party? Of course, President Trump knows a thing or two about that, having been prosecuted on
00:28:59.840 four different fronts on totally bogus charges and having the FBI raid his home, his bedroom,
00:29:05.440 all the rest of it. In this case, a random Democrat member of Congress was arrested, allegedly for
00:29:12.600 committing crimes, caught on tape, where she was allegedly assaulting law enforcement officers,
00:29:18.620 all the sorts of things that Democrats have been making a fuss about in recent years.
00:29:23.340 President Trump was asked about this, and he gave, I thought, a pitch-perfect answer in terms of the tone.
00:29:30.500 Mr. President, I'd say that your DOJ is weaponizing with the arrest of a Congresswoman,
00:29:36.960 Democratic Congresswoman.
00:29:37.800 Oh, give me a break. Did you see her? She was out of control. 1.00
00:29:40.380 You know, those days are over. The days have woke. The days have woke. No, I didn't. The days have woke
00:29:46.220 are over. That woman, I don't, I have no idea who she is. That woman was out of control. She was shoving 1.00
00:29:52.480 federal agents. She was out of control. The days of that crap are over in this country. We're going to have
00:29:58.140 order. Mr. President, thank you very much. You campaigned. Perfect answer. Four words. Give me
00:30:04.540 a break. Give me a break. She was out of control. The days of that are over. When President Trump was
00:30:14.020 running toward the end of the campaign, many of his supporters started repeating this phrase,
00:30:18.800 daddy's home. Daddy, we want daddy to come home. And I didn't use that phrase. I felt it was a little
00:30:24.240 much. It's kind of funny. This is the embodiment of that phrase. Because the first thing I thought,
00:30:33.260 I was watching this reaction. I thought, why do I like this reaction so much? I said,
00:30:37.500 oh, because it reminds me of how I, at my absolute best fathering, how I react to my petulant toddlers.
00:30:46.220 I was explaining this to my wife, sweet little Elisa. Because sometimes the kids come in,
00:30:50.860 they're just whining, you know. Most of the time, very, very good, well-behaved,
00:30:55.960 well-mannered little boys. But sometimes they're toddlers. And they start,
00:30:59.460 Dana, why can't I do that? And they start yelling. I don't even throw any things, whatever.
00:31:06.040 And my wife, being a loving, nurturing woman, she just kind of stresses her out a little bit. You know,
00:31:11.920 you can see the stress. For me, I get happy. I get excited when I have the opportunity
00:31:18.760 to correct my toddlers in this way. It does, you know, sometimes people say it really pains me to
00:31:23.680 say no to my kids. That's true a lot of the time. But when they're behaving like little brats, 1.00
00:31:28.540 I get a thrill. I get a true delight out of saying no to my kids. Because of two things. One,
00:31:37.240 I know it will be good for them if I correct their behavior. So I think, oh, what a great opportunity to
00:31:42.020 give them a better life by correcting their behavior. But two, because I know that kids are going to
00:31:47.920 follow the leader. Everyone follows the leader. And so you have to set the right tone. And if the
00:31:54.320 tone you set is, no, boys, come on, please stop. I'm begging you. Don't. No, boys, don't. You're
00:31:58.720 killing me. This is terrible. I hate that I have to tell you no one take the toy away. Then they're
00:32:02.180 going to match that kind of energy, that attitude, that behavior. We talk a lot about mimetic desire
00:32:10.660 on this show. Rene Girard, that we're very, we imitate one another in our behaviors and in our
00:32:14.960 desires. If on the other hand, the kid comes up to you and he says, Jade, I want to go to the thing
00:32:20.780 and I want to give me another toy and I want to do them. And you lean in and you say, hey, buddy,
00:32:25.780 no, we're not going to do that. No, we're not. Do, do, do. And you start like tickling him a little.
00:32:31.400 I don't know. We're not. No, but I want to. No, we're not. And you kind of, the kid eventually is
00:32:36.080 going to match that energy. He's saying, no way, we're not doing that, buster. And the more you whine,
00:32:40.920 the less chance you're going to get it. That's what Trump is doing to the Democrats.
00:32:45.980 If Trump had come out and said, well, look, it was a very serious issue and we're obviously,
00:32:50.780 we're investigating it. But this Congress, we did, I didn't want to have to arrest her, but you know,
00:32:55.680 she was seriously guys, come on. I mean, did you see the video? I mean, seriously, I didn't want to,
00:33:01.380 but then, then it would be a big, more of a federal case than it already is. But instead he goes,
00:33:06.060 give me a break. We all know that woman was behaving like a crazy person and we're not going to put 0.90
00:33:10.880 up with that. You don't get to, sorry, little toddler. You don't get to scream in the restaurant 0.84
00:33:15.060 and sorry, Democrat Congress lady. You don't get to shove federal agents because you want to 0.99
00:33:19.040 insurrect at a DHS facility. That's good. That's very good parenting and that's very good national
00:33:26.720 leadership. And there's actually a pretty big connection between those two things. Maybe we
00:33:30.420 get confused about that because we've denigrated and neglected the role of fathers in our country
00:33:35.380 in recent decades. Well, now it's a big surprise to us when you see what good fathering looks like.
00:33:41.440 Now, speaking of the administration and correcting wrongs, there's a really great correction that the
00:33:48.600 Trump administration is engaging in right now. This is justice years overdue. Our Daily Wire Plus

00:34:25.920 Katy Perry went to space for two minutes and became an astronaut. Michael went to the beach for four hours
00:34:30.420 and became a person of color. I am loving the accomplishment speed runs. That's so true. 0.99
00:34:35.840 I went to a university for about, I don't know, 12 hours and I became a doctor. Things are moving fast,
00:34:43.760 folks. We are living in the age of chat GPT, okay? The Trump administration has just announced
00:34:48.980 the righting of a wrong. And I'm really, really pleased to see this. Long overdue. The federal
00:34:56.020 government will pay $5 million to the family of Ashley Babbitt. Ashley Babbitt, contrary to the
00:35:01.480 popular media narrative, is the only person who was killed in the political violence of January 6th.
00:35:07.060 And she was not a left-winger and she was not a Democrat Congress lady and she was not a law 1.00
00:35:11.360 enforcement officer. She was a conservative Trump supporter and she was shot by a trigger-happy cop.
00:35:17.200 The Trump admin has agreed on behalf of the federal government to pay $5 million to the family of
00:35:23.360 Ashley Babbitt to settle a lawsuit brought by Babbitt's estate. This is according to reporting
00:35:27.620 from the Washington Post. Good. Good. When libs are killed by the police, their families raise lots
00:35:40.280 and lots of money and then the government gives them lots and they are so eager to give them lots
00:35:45.200 and lots of money, even if the killings were justified. In the case of Ashley Babbitt, that was a
00:35:51.200 trigger-happy cop. This was a woman who served her country. She was in the Air Force. She followed me 0.95
00:35:57.800 on Twitter. I looked when it was reported that she was killed. I looked her up and she was a
00:36:03.680 conservative. She showed up to the Capitol that day. That's not to justify everything that happened
00:36:08.460 at the Capitol, but it's to say that woman did not deserve to be killed. And in our political order,
00:36:15.260 we bend over backwards, not just to remunerate the families of people who were killed by law
00:36:22.700 enforcement, but actually to go out of our way to reward people who actively commit crimes.
00:36:27.900 How much money, the kid who allegedly murdered Austin Metcalf, how much money did his family
00:36:32.040 raise? Six, $700,000? Because he committed a crime? Because he murdered a kid? Yeah, I think
00:36:39.440 Ashley Babbitt's family needs to be paid. I think this is good. And I think the Trump administration
00:36:43.480 is very wise to wield power for justice, but in a similar way in which the left wields power,
00:36:53.460 as opposed to the old way that Republicans would behave, which is at best refusing to wield power
00:36:58.340 at all. What's the point of electing them? Now, speaking of women in politics, Hillary Clinton 1.00
00:37:04.340 was just being interviewed for some reason, and she gave some advice to the first female president.
00:37:10.560 Here's what it is. What advice do you have for the first female president of the United States? 1.00
00:37:19.140 Well,
00:37:20.080 first of all, don't be a handmaiden to the patriarchy,
00:37:28.660 which kind of eliminates every woman on the other side of the aisle, except for very few. 1.00
00:37:38.040 Lisa Murkowski. Lisa Murkowski. Liz Cheney. Yeah, there's a few. Look, first we have to get
00:37:45.940 there, and it is, you know, obviously so much harder than it should be. So, you know, if a woman 1.00
00:37:55.820 runs who I think would be a good president, as I thought Kamala Harris would be, and as I knew I 0.79
00:38:00.620 would be, I will support that woman. Okay. Well, thanks. Anyway, moving on. Hey, lady who 0.99
00:38:11.280 lost multiple runs for the presidency, what do you think the first female president should do? 1.00
00:38:17.420 Oh, great, because then I'll be sure to tell her to do the opposite if she wants to win. 1.00
00:38:21.460 And her advice is totally to be expected. Don't be a handmaiden to the patriarchy.
00:38:26.240 And a very telling addendum there, she says, which of course excludes the entire other political
00:38:33.160 party, with the exception of Lisa Murkowski. All these Republican women, they're out because they're 1.00
00:38:37.680 handmaidens to the patriarchy. What does it mean? What does she mean to be a handmaiden to the
00:38:42.860 patriarchy? I think what she's talking about basically is opposing infanticide, thinking that
00:38:49.720 it's wrong for a mother to murder her child. That's what she's really getting at, I think.
00:38:55.340 There are other issues that are ancillary, but that's the big one. Don't be a handmaiden to the 0.90
00:39:01.320 patriarchy. Let's just take her at her own words. Why does Hillary think? Why does Hillary think 1.00
00:39:10.640 that half of women are handmaidens to the patriarchy? Is it because they're all just idiots? That's 1.00
00:39:15.580 probably what she thinks. She probably thinks, following the Western Marxist tradition, that the
00:39:20.080 women are laboring under a false consciousness, and they need to be liberated from their false 1.00
00:39:23.760 consciousness. They think they're happy, but they're not. They need to be liberated from their illusory
00:39:28.520 happiness as conservative women into the true liberated misery of left-wing women. I'm not 0.67
00:39:37.620 constructing a straw man here. I think that's actually what she believes. That's certainly what
00:39:42.140 the New York radical feminists believed in the 60s and 70s, and their successors have believed ever
00:39:47.500 since. Why is it? If Hillary's got all the answers and she's just giving them away for free, why is it 0.99
00:39:54.880 that she lost two runs for the presidency? Why is it that she lost to supposedly the worst presidential 0.84
00:40:01.800 candidate ever, Donald Trump? Why is it that Joe Biden beat her? Joe Biden supposedly didn't beat her,
00:40:07.420 but supposedly beat Donald Trump where she could not. Why is that? I guess it's that if her political
00:40:15.020 order or if her political agenda comes down to don't be a handmaid to the patriarchy, I guess it 1.00
00:40:20.260 comes down to a lot of women want to be handmaidens to the patriarchy. And maybe they're right. 0.98
00:40:29.240 Because what do we mean by patriarchy? What we mean by patriarchy is that men and women
00:40:33.060 are different. And men and women are not opposed to one another. It's not that they're in this
00:40:39.540 battle for power, as Hillary seems to view it. It's not that men and women are indiscernible
00:40:44.960 and identical, that one can be substituted for the other, but that they're different. We say
00:40:50.060 vive la différence. Hillary Clinton has gender dysphoria. That's really what this comes down to. 1.00
00:40:57.300 All this anti-patriarchy talk, all this radical feminist talk comes down to a kind of gender 1.00
00:41:03.960 dysphoria, which says that men and women are exactly the same and men can be women and women
00:41:08.400 can be men. It's a more polished, more subtle version of the same gender dysphoria that has big 0.71
00:41:16.160 husky dudes marching on into the girl's bathroom and changing room at the public pool. But it's the
00:41:21.000 same basic premise that men and women are effectively the same and men can be women and women can be men.
00:41:27.300 Voters decisively rejected that, that ideology in November. And so what the political geniuses and
00:41:39.160 the analysts are going to say is, well, what they rejected were the excesses of the gender ideology,
00:41:43.400 transgender movement. Maybe, but ideas have their own momentum. Just as feminism led, I think,
00:41:50.140 inexorably to the transgender movement. So to the rejection of the transgender movement is going to
00:41:54.980 cause people to question a lot of the LGBT movement all the way back to feminism.
00:41:59.720 It's going to question that gender ideology because sex is at very, very near to the heart of human 0.98
00:42:04.580 nature. And Hillary's view is contrary to human nature, contrary to reality. And it's a big reason 1.00
00:42:09.840 people have rejected her multiple times, rightly so. Before we go, Hillary had one other little, 1.00
00:42:15.420 little theory floated at this conference that she was speaking at. And I love it because no one's
00:42:21.120 really noticed it. Or they haven't noticed the full depth of what she was saying. Hillary Clinton
00:42:28.300 accidentally seems to have embraced the great replacement theory.
00:42:34.460 This very blatant effort to basically send a message, most exemplified by Vance and Musk and others,
00:42:42.140 that, you know, what we really need from you women are more children. And what that really means is 1.00
00:42:49.500 you should go back to doing what you were born to do, which is to produce more children. But if you had
00:42:57.420 read the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025, despite Trump saying he knew nothing about it, if you had read
00:43:04.480 it, it's all in there. It's all in there. Return to the family, the nuclear family, return to being a Christian 1.00
00:43:12.620 nation, return to, you know, producing a lot of children, which is sort of odd because the people
00:43:20.920 who produce the most children in our country are immigrants and they want to deport them. So none of
00:43:25.280 this adds up. But, you know, one of the reasons why our economy did so much better than comparable
00:43:30.900 advanced economies across the world is because we actually had a replenishment because we had a lot
00:43:36.980 of immigrants legally and undocumented who had a, you know, larger than normal by American standards
00:43:47.160 families. Did you catch that? So we've been told for years by the left that there's this crazy evil
00:43:54.640 conspiracy theory called the Great Replacement, whereby liberal political forces want to change
00:44:02.680 the demographics of the United States by encouraging mass migration and discouraging procreation.
00:44:12.000 That's the evil, crazy, supposedly bigoted, racist conspiracy theory. Never mind that the left has
00:44:17.480 explicitly embraced this theory on multiple occasions, including in the pages of the New York Times.
00:44:22.840 It gets to what Michael Anton calls the celebration parallax, which is when the left notices something,
00:44:30.320 they can celebrate it. When you notice something, it's a conspiracy theory. You could be noticing the
00:44:34.980 same thing. It just depends on what your attitude is. If you like it, then it's good and it's real and
00:44:38.480 we can celebrate it. If you dislike it, then it's not happening. It's a crazy conspiracy theory. But what
00:44:42.260 Hillary just said is the Republicans want to encourage women to have more children. And that's really bad 1.00
00:44:49.700 because we don't need American women of all backgrounds, of all races, of all, we don't need 1.00
00:44:54.700 actual American women to have children. We just are going to import immigrants from the third world. 1.00
00:45:02.680 And they're going to have more children than the American population. And that obviously is going to 0.90
00:45:09.300 change the demographics of the country. And that's a good thing. Unless you acknowledge that,
00:45:14.220 unless you say exactly what Hillary Clinton just said, in which case that's not happening. It's a
00:45:21.960 conspiracy theory and you're a bigot. Hillary Clinton, not, I would not take advice from this 1.00
00:45:26.920 woman. If you want to be the first woman president or anything else, that's, that's not whatever, 1.00
00:45:33.220 whatever currency, whatever political currency that Clinton advice used to have ain't happening
00:45:39.300 anymore. This is not, not your grandpa's Republican party or political order. Today is Woke Wednesday.
