Ep. 1766 - You Were Never Going To Get The Epstein Client List


Summary

After years of promises to release Jeffrey Epstein's client list, the DOJ and FBI have officially concluded that there is no Jeffrey Epstein client list and everyone should just forget about it. Which will sound strange to many who remember the Attorney General saying this, just 4 and a half months ago.

00:00:37.720 After years of promises to release the Jeffrey Epstein client list,
00:00:42.540 the Department of Justice and the FBI have officially concluded that there is no Jeffrey Epstein client list,
00:00:50.100 and everyone should just forget about it.
00:00:52.100 Which will sound strange to many of you who remember the Attorney General saying this,
00:00:56.980 just four and a half months ago.
00:00:59.020 The DOJ may be releasing the list of Jeffrey Epstein's clients?
00:01:03.600 Will that really happen?
00:01:05.360 It's sitting on my desk right now to review.
00:01:08.240 That's been a directive by President Trump.
00:01:10.940 I'm reviewing that.
00:01:11.760 I'm reviewing JFK files, MLK files.
00:01:14.880 That's all in the process of being reviewed,
00:01:16.860 because that was done at the directive of the President from all of these agencies.
00:01:20.260 So have you seen anything that you said, oh my gosh?
00:01:23.980 Not yet.
00:01:26.160 Okay.
00:01:27.020 Well, we'll check back with you.
00:01:28.720 Okay, let's check back.
00:01:30.260 The list was on her desk, but also it doesn't exist.
00:01:35.700 And Jeffrey Epstein definitely killed himself,
00:01:38.400 even though they told us the cameras on the jail cell went out.
00:01:43.960 Until they released the video footage of the cameras that were on,
00:01:48.200 which just happens to cut out and reframe right in the middle,
00:01:51.580 60 seconds, totally missing, and that's that.
00:01:54.120 So stop asking questions.
00:01:56.240 Now, if you are at all surprised by the DOJ's conclusion,
00:02:03.060 I'm sorry that I have to say something that I hate to say,
00:02:07.120 which is that I told you so.
00:02:10.200 You heard the Attorney General there referencing the JFK files
00:02:13.760 in the same breath as the Epstein client list.
00:02:16.040 I told you.
00:02:17.100 I told you.
00:02:18.620 As recently as three months ago,
00:02:20.900 when many people were similarly surprised and disappointed
00:02:24.360 by the government's failure to release anything significant
00:02:27.220 about the assassination of JFK,
00:02:31.100 in case you forgot what I had to say then,
00:02:34.200 maybe I'm a little thick.
00:02:37.840 Maybe I'm missing something.
00:02:39.660 People believe that President Kennedy was murdered by the CIA,
00:02:45.040 the mob, the Soviets, the Israelis, the Cubans, the Fed,
00:02:48.340 the deep state, LBJ, George Bush,
00:02:51.280 or some combination of those players.
00:02:54.320 They believe that our government is so evil
00:02:57.200 that it covered up the murder of a president for 60 years
00:03:01.400 and then violated a federal law mandating the release
00:03:04.860 specifically of those documents for 33 years.
00:03:08.400 But now they believe the government is just going to tell us.
00:03:14.040 Is that, that's the theory?
00:03:17.620 Okay, cool.
00:03:18.800 Great.
00:03:19.260 Sounds good.
00:03:20.080 Let me know.
00:03:21.120 Just let me know.
00:03:21.860 I haven't read through them all.
00:03:23.000 You tell me what you find in those 60,000 pages.
00:03:27.220 I can't wait to hear about the smoking gun,
00:03:29.720 which I'm sure we're going to hear about any day now,
00:03:32.540 probably right after we learn the real story about Jeffrey Epstein.
00:03:36.680 When I said that, a bunch of you yelled at me.
00:03:39.880 Okay.
00:03:40.280 And you yelled at me because you said,
00:03:41.200 Michael, you're not talking about all the cool,
00:03:45.240 spicy stuff in the JFK files.
00:03:47.080 I said, I'm not, I didn't read the JFK file.
00:03:48.540 I'm not going to read the JFK files.
00:03:50.340 There's nothing in them.
00:03:51.100 I promise you one thing.
00:03:53.000 There's nothing in them.
00:03:54.940 Because if there were, they wouldn't have released them.
00:03:58.680 Okay.
00:03:59.280 I don't, hold on.
00:04:01.120 I don't mean to make light of this story.
00:04:04.560 This is the Epstein story and the JFK story, I guess.
00:04:08.440 But this story is dark.
00:04:10.040 It's real dark.
00:04:11.280 An underage sex ring involving some of the richest,
00:04:14.540 most powerful people on earth.
00:04:17.420 I don't, I don't, I really don't want to make light of that,
00:04:19.780 but I do have to make fun of the political innocence
00:04:23.660 and naivete required to think that we were ever going to get
00:04:29.000 a different story about Epstein.
00:04:32.560 The official story is that Epstein was a rich sex freak
00:04:36.260 who killed himself and he had some famous friends,
00:04:39.020 but they have nothing to do with it.
00:04:40.700 That's the official story.
00:04:43.660 In order to believe that we were ever going to get
00:04:47.400 a different story, the full story,
00:04:49.180 the real story.
00:04:51.160 You would have to believe that our government
00:04:54.280 is shady enough to get in bed with an underage sex ring,
00:04:57.640 kingpin, blackmail artist,
00:04:59.900 and at the same time, forthright enough
00:05:02.520 to give us all the details when the people demanded it.
00:05:06.000 Oh, well, you voted.
00:05:07.180 You voted for it.
00:05:08.360 So surely we must give it to you now.
00:05:10.280 Ah, our hands are tied.
00:05:11.660 You voted.
00:05:12.060 If Jeffrey Epstein was who the government says he was,
00:05:20.340 you've got the whole story.
00:05:22.660 And if he was something else,
00:05:24.700 you got the whole story that you're ever going to get.
00:05:28.600 I'm Michael Knowles.
00:05:29.460 This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:05:49.500 Welcome back to the show.
00:05:50.600 We got a big, big story.
00:05:51.940 Well, we will get to more of the Epstein stuff,
00:05:53.780 which is so preposterous.
00:05:55.700 You have to just kind of throw your hands up
00:05:58.500 and kind of laugh.
00:05:59.840 You laugh or cry, I guess.
00:06:01.120 You laugh or cry.
00:06:02.260 But we also have another big story,
00:06:04.520 which is that Isabel Brown,
00:06:06.200 my friend Isabel Brown,
00:06:08.020 is joining The Daily Wire.
00:06:09.120 And I'm very excited about that.
00:06:10.020 And she's joining the show later on today.
00:06:12.520 I've known about this for some time.
00:06:14.840 They don't tell me everything,
00:06:15.900 but I've known about this for some time.
00:06:16.800 I've been very excited about it.
00:06:18.140 Now we can tell everybody.
00:06:19.440 Love Isabel Brown.
00:06:20.360 We will get to her momentarily first, though.
00:06:23.360 I want to tell you about Chevron.
00:06:25.240 America is built on hard work
00:06:27.480 and powered by American energy.
00:06:29.560 Chevron has spent $44 billion
00:06:31.300 with local businesses
00:06:32.720 across all 50 states since 2022,
00:06:35.540 fueling infrastructure and communities,
00:06:37.260 all while strengthening local economies.
00:06:39.900 Last year,
00:06:40.340 Chevron increased U.S. production nearly 20%,
00:06:43.360 powering communities and businesses
00:06:45.100 from the heartlands to the coast.
00:06:47.040 We're helping to fuel America's energy advantage,
00:06:49.480 building a brighter future right here at home.
00:06:52.020 Visit chevron.com slash America to discover more.
00:06:55.460 The most ridiculous part
00:06:57.300 of this Epstein conclusion.
00:07:01.040 You think there's so much.
00:07:02.600 The attorney general says,
00:07:03.500 I have his client list on my desk.
00:07:05.900 Actually, it doesn't exist.
00:07:07.480 I don't have a desk.
00:07:08.240 What are you talking about, Epstein client?
00:07:09.300 Ghislaine Maxwell's in prison
00:07:10.420 for trafficking underage girls to no one.
00:07:14.480 What are you talking about, huh?
00:07:15.520 Jeffrey Epstein, what?
00:07:16.520 These are not the droids you're looking for.
00:07:17.940 Move along, move along.
00:07:18.840 So that's pretty ridiculous.
00:07:20.720 That's not the most ridiculous part.
00:07:23.560 Epstein definitely killed himself.
00:07:24.660 That's not even the most ridiculous part.
00:07:26.060 The most ridiculous part is,
00:07:27.680 we were told,
00:07:28.240 do you remember this?
00:07:29.060 We were told
00:07:29.760 that when Epstein died
00:07:32.040 under dubious circumstances
00:07:34.200 at the Manhattan Correctional Facility,
00:07:35.580 we were told,
00:07:37.420 well, the cameras went out.
00:07:39.040 The camera,
00:07:40.520 the multiple cameras
00:07:41.480 on his cell,
00:07:42.480 they just went out.
00:07:43.200 He was on suicide watch.
00:07:44.440 It didn't,
00:07:44.780 they went out
00:07:45.280 and the guards weren't there
00:07:46.960 and they fell asleep
00:07:47.820 and I don't know,
00:07:50.120 something crazy happened
00:07:51.200 so we don't have the video footage.
00:07:53.400 And then,
00:07:54.760 the DOJ says,
00:07:56.060 we do have the video footage.
00:07:57.300 They found it.
00:07:58.120 A good,
00:07:58.420 wow,
00:07:58.800 what a lucky break.
00:07:59.460 They found the video footage.
00:08:00.720 They release hours of video footage
00:08:02.740 and it's to prove
00:08:04.860 that no one went into his jail cell.
00:08:07.320 But I just want to play you
00:08:08.100 a little clip.
00:08:09.000 This is from justice.gov.
00:08:10.720 This is from the DOJ.
00:08:12.540 Here's a little clip.
00:08:13.720 It's 1158.
00:08:14.560 Look at the timestamp.
00:08:15.360 1158,
00:08:15.920 53,
00:08:17.100 4,
00:08:17.820 5,
00:08:18.080 56,
00:08:18.520 57,
00:08:19.180 58,
00:08:19.860 59.
00:08:20.140 What?
00:08:21.560 And then it jumps
00:08:22.460 and the frame changes.
00:08:24.760 Pause it right there.
00:08:25.940 So you had,
00:08:27.160 I just pulled a little clip of it
00:08:28.400 from 11,
00:08:29.620 this is 11 p.m.,
00:08:30.980 1145
00:08:32.040 and zero seconds.
00:08:34.300 And you can just watch the seconds
00:08:36.040 click up.
00:08:37.820 And you watch it
00:08:38.840 for minute after minute after.
00:08:40.120 Go back.
00:08:40.580 Go back to the beginning of that video.
00:08:43.460 Okay,
00:08:43.880 here we go.
00:08:44.360 I'm just going to,
00:08:45.020 right at the end,
00:08:45.520 11,
00:08:46.020 11,
00:08:46.820 58
00:08:47.260 and 48 seconds,
00:08:48.660 49,
00:08:49.680 50,
00:08:50.580 51,
00:08:51.620 52.
00:08:52.140 Okay,
00:08:52.380 you see the frame here?
00:08:53.180 It's just the frame.
00:08:53.720 No one's coming in and out.
00:08:54.640 55,
00:08:55.280 56,
00:08:56.080 57,
00:08:57.120 58.
00:08:58.460 Wait,
00:08:58.940 hold on.
00:08:59.180 Then it jumps a whole minute
00:09:00.040 and the frame changes.
00:09:02.520 What happened in that minute?
00:09:06.140 And why did the frame change?
00:09:08.180 And why was this buried
00:09:09.260 right in the middle of this video
00:09:10.500 that goes on for hours?
00:09:12.800 Why would they release this?
00:09:14.480 This is the most insulting
00:09:15.520 part of it to me.
00:09:17.740 You're going to say
00:09:18.600 the client list is on your desk,
00:09:20.400 but then it doesn't exist.
00:09:21.380 Okay,
00:09:21.640 that's insulting.
00:09:22.080 You're insulting my intelligence,
00:09:23.200 but whatever,
00:09:23.740 fine.
00:09:24.620 But politics changes.
00:09:26.120 Okay,
00:09:26.460 I get it.
00:09:26.820 Whatever.
00:09:27.580 For whatever reason,
00:09:28.720 okay,
00:09:28.900 I never thought we were going
00:09:29.620 to get any info on Epstein,
00:09:30.700 so I'm not surprised.
00:09:32.720 Then you tell us
00:09:33.520 there's no video,
00:09:34.320 but actually there is a video.
00:09:35.260 We're going to release hours of it.
00:09:36.820 And then you release the video.
00:09:38.220 You say,
00:09:38.480 you see,
00:09:38.800 here's the video.
00:09:39.400 No one comes in and out.
00:09:40.960 And you jump cut a whole minute
00:09:42.740 with a timestamp
00:09:43.920 on the video
00:09:44.760 and the frame changes.
00:09:46.520 You don't even keep the frame the same.
00:09:48.480 So it's actually pretty obvious.
00:09:50.100 What happened in that minute?
00:09:55.800 Did Hillary sneak into the cell?
00:09:58.040 Maybe it was Queen Elizabeth.
00:09:59.520 I don't know.
00:10:00.440 A mother's love knows no bounds.
00:10:01.820 Maybe she came in there
00:10:03.120 to protect Prince Andrew's honor.
00:10:05.060 I don't know what it was.
00:10:08.000 But a lot can happen in one minute.
00:10:10.580 Don't you think?
00:10:11.340 In a tiny little cell,
00:10:13.180 a lot can happen in 60 seconds.
00:10:16.680 But whatever happened,
00:10:18.160 whatever happened,
00:10:18.800 here's my prediction.
00:10:20.100 Whatever happened,
00:10:21.060 you're not going to find out.
00:10:22.780 And I hate to say I told you so.
00:10:26.740 How many times have I said that today?
00:10:28.340 I hate to say I told you so.
00:10:29.680 But I can't go through
00:10:31.960 the emotional rollercoaster
00:10:33.860 of this whole thing.
00:10:35.120 It was so irritating
00:10:36.720 when the JFK files came out.
00:10:38.760 All these people said,
00:10:39.360 Michael,
00:10:39.960 why aren't you talking
00:10:41.320 about the 80,000 pages
00:10:43.100 of JFK files?
00:10:45.040 Because nothing's in it.
00:10:47.720 How you guys are like
00:10:48.720 Charlie Brown
00:10:49.500 with the freaking football?
00:10:50.780 What do you think is in that?
00:10:52.800 Oh, it's going to be
00:10:53.520 the smoking gun
00:10:54.580 that it was the
00:10:56.080 CIA, mob,
00:10:58.640 Israelis,
00:10:59.540 Russians,
00:11:00.480 Bush,
00:11:01.460 Johnson,
00:11:02.240 blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:11:03.420 You're not...
00:11:04.360 If any of that were in there,
00:11:07.680 you would not have the files.
00:11:10.140 The government delayed release
00:11:11.820 in contravention of the law
00:11:13.260 of the JFK files
00:11:14.900 for decades
00:11:15.820 and you ain't getting
00:11:18.160 anything from Epstein
00:11:19.060 because this is how
00:11:20.900 government works.
00:11:23.160 It's one of two things.
00:11:24.160 I want to be totally fair.
00:11:25.680 There is a chance
00:11:26.700 these are all just
00:11:27.380 weird coincidences.
00:11:29.420 I guess.
00:11:30.840 There is a chance
00:11:31.620 it's all just weird
00:11:32.220 coincidences.
00:11:32.940 It's all totally above board.
00:11:34.720 This man who was
00:11:37.180 at a weird,
00:11:38.460 creepy sex petto island
00:11:39.860 and was hobnobbing
00:11:41.600 with the richest,
00:11:42.160 most powerful people
00:11:42.860 on earth.
00:11:44.240 It was all just
00:11:45.320 like a weird misunderstanding.
00:11:46.680 Okay, sure.
00:11:47.720 That's one possibility.
00:11:49.940 Or,
00:11:51.380 if Alex Acosta
00:11:52.640 was right,
00:11:53.200 Alex Acosta
00:11:53.600 was the U.S. attorney
00:11:54.300 who finally prosecuted
00:11:55.560 Jeffrey Epstein
00:11:56.740 in Florida,
00:11:57.620 gave him this
00:11:58.020 really sweetheart deal
00:11:59.020 where he basically
00:11:59.720 got to hang out
00:12:00.440 at a hotel
00:12:01.200 for a while.
00:12:02.240 They called it
00:12:03.000 the Palm Beach Jail,
00:12:04.280 but it was kind of nice.
00:12:05.220 He got to leave.
00:12:05.800 It was totally fine.
00:12:07.460 When Alex Acosta
00:12:08.380 was up for labor secretary,
00:12:09.480 it was reported
00:12:09.920 by the Daily Beast
00:12:10.760 that Alex Acosta heard.
00:12:15.320 And again,
00:12:15.620 it was reported
00:12:16.060 by the Daily Beast.
00:12:16.840 You never know
00:12:17.260 if you trust the Daily Beast.
00:12:18.240 It's a left-wing rag.
00:12:19.300 But it was reported
00:12:20.760 that Alex Acosta
00:12:22.460 heard that Jeffrey Epstein
00:12:23.520 belonged to intelligence
00:12:24.400 and it was above his pay grade
00:12:25.580 and let it go.
00:12:27.160 That's what he said
00:12:27.880 when he was being vetted
00:12:28.880 for labor secretary.
00:12:31.060 So if that's true,
00:12:32.240 if this were
00:12:34.140 a blackmail ring
00:12:35.360 with support
00:12:36.480 from the U.S. government,
00:12:39.480 foreign governments,
00:12:40.980 the mob,
00:12:42.140 some cabal,
00:12:44.220 whatever,
00:12:44.840 if that's true,
00:12:47.340 you're never going
00:12:48.540 to find out.
00:12:49.180 That's how it goes.
00:12:50.480 We're talking
00:12:51.100 about the client list.
00:12:53.320 I don't think
00:12:54.560 people understand
00:12:55.600 the most important part
00:12:57.440 of the client list.
00:12:58.100 They want to pick up
00:12:58.720 the johns.
00:12:59.400 The johns are the least
00:13:00.240 important part of it.
00:13:01.420 I have much,
00:13:02.400 much more to say.
00:13:03.400 First, though,
00:13:04.540 go to expressvpn.com
00:13:05.960 slash gnolls.
00:13:07.420 You ever feel like
00:13:07.960 you're being watched
00:13:08.480 on the internet?
00:13:09.300 Unfortunately for you,
00:13:11.060 you're not just being paranoid.
00:13:12.320 You really are being monitored
00:13:13.760 every time you go online.
00:13:15.440 Your internet service provider
00:13:16.780 can see every single website
00:13:18.180 you visit.
00:13:18.920 And in the U.S.,
00:13:19.540 they're even allowed
00:13:20.240 to sell your browsing history.
00:13:22.120 Until things change,
00:13:23.280 you've got to protect yourself
00:13:24.280 if you don't want
00:13:24.880 these prying eyes
00:13:25.820 looking at everything
00:13:26.780 you're reading online.
00:13:27.480 That is why,
00:13:28.960 it's one of the reasons
00:13:29.600 why I use ExpressVPN.
00:13:31.100 I've used it for years
00:13:32.060 and years,
00:13:32.400 I don't know,
00:13:32.880 eight or nine years
00:13:33.500 maybe at this point.
00:13:34.420 It's an easy-to-use app
00:13:35.660 that encrypts
00:13:36.500 and reroutes
00:13:37.160 all internet traffic
00:13:38.340 through secure servers.
00:13:39.900 Because of ExpressVPN,
00:13:41.200 my internet provider
00:13:42.080 cannot see my browsing history.
00:13:43.620 They've got nothing to sell
00:13:44.400 because they've got nothing on me.
00:13:45.960 It also hides my IP address,
00:13:47.480 which is basically
00:13:48.100 the number that identifies you online.
00:13:50.000 So greedy data brokers
00:13:51.280 can't use it
00:13:51.980 to build a profile of me
00:13:53.140 and sell to marketers.
00:13:54.520 My data stay mine
00:13:55.780 and mine alone.
00:13:57.220 Now,
00:13:57.740 I would not call myself
00:13:58.680 a tech expert.
00:13:59.640 I would certainly not do that.
00:14:00.720 But,
00:14:01.760 I find ExpressVPN
00:14:02.860 makes me feel like
00:14:04.580 a tech expert
00:14:05.180 because it's so easy to use.
00:14:06.200 Just one button,
00:14:07.040 boom,
00:14:07.340 you're connected.
00:14:08.060 Your phone,
00:14:08.500 your tablet,
00:14:08.940 your computer.
00:14:10.080 They've got apps
00:14:10.640 for all of those devices.
00:14:12.420 It's rated the number one VPN
00:14:13.720 by CNET,
00:14:14.500 The Burge,
00:14:15.000 and tons of other tech reviewers.
00:14:17.100 If you want to start
00:14:17.540 taking your online privacy seriously,
00:14:19.220 don't wait.
00:14:20.180 Use my special link

00:14:22.380 of ExpressVPN for free
00:14:23.500 at expressvpn.com

00:14:25.160 expressvpn.com
00:14:26.160 slash K-N-O-W-L-E-S.
00:14:29.040 It's so ridiculous
00:14:30.080 that even Peter Doocy,
00:14:31.960 who is generally considered
00:14:33.160 a little bit more
00:14:33.740 of a right-wing,
00:14:34.960 conservative supporting reporter,
00:14:37.040 was in the briefing room.
00:14:37.820 He asks Press Secretary
00:14:38.760 Caroline Levitt,
00:14:40.100 what happened
00:14:41.140 to the list on the desk?
00:14:43.400 So what happened
00:14:44.220 to the Epstein client list
00:14:45.580 that the Attorney General said
00:14:47.300 she had on her desk?
00:14:49.340 Well,
00:14:49.520 I think if you go back
00:14:50.420 and look at
00:14:50.960 what the Attorney General said
00:14:52.220 in that interview,
00:14:53.100 which was on your network
00:14:54.200 on Fox News.
00:14:55.040 I've got to quote.
00:14:55.560 John Roberts said,
00:14:56.780 DOJ may be releasing
00:14:57.980 the list of Jeffrey Epstein's clients.
00:14:59.800 Will that really happen?
00:15:01.220 And she said,
00:15:02.220 it's sitting on my desk
00:15:03.060 right now to review.
00:15:04.700 Yes,
00:15:05.080 she was saying
00:15:05.740 the entirety
00:15:06.340 of all of the paperwork,
00:15:08.100 all of the paper
00:15:08.800 in relation to
00:15:09.960 Jeffrey Epstein's crimes.
00:15:11.480 That's what the Attorney General
00:15:12.500 was referring to,
00:15:13.660 and I'll let her speak for that.
00:15:15.100 But again,
00:15:15.680 when it comes to the FBI
00:15:16.760 and the Department of Justice,
00:15:18.220 they are more than committed
00:15:19.480 to ensuring
00:15:20.120 that bad people
00:15:20.980 are put behind bars.
00:15:22.580 They have an operation
00:15:23.620 going on right now
00:15:24.460 called Summer Heat,
00:15:25.780 which has our murder rate
00:15:27.680 trending in the lowest direction
00:15:29.400 in United States history.
00:15:31.060 Their emphasis
00:15:31.680 on violent crime
00:15:32.760 and locking up violent criminals
00:15:34.060 has led to the arrest
00:15:35.100 of 14,000 violent criminals.
00:15:37.540 That's a 62% increase
00:15:39.260 from the same time period
00:15:40.320 last year.
00:15:40.940 So this Attorney General
00:15:42.220 and the FBI director
00:15:43.340 are committed
00:15:44.160 to putting bad people
00:15:45.240 behind bars
00:15:46.260 where they belong.
00:15:47.040 that they promised
00:15:48.220 an exhaustive review.
00:15:49.600 That's what they did.
00:15:50.500 For any further details,
00:15:51.680 I would refer you
00:15:52.200 to the Department of Justice.
00:15:53.340 Okay.
00:15:54.180 Okay.
00:15:55.200 This is the best response
00:15:57.620 Caroline Levitt could have given.
00:15:59.720 She did a great job.
00:16:02.440 Doesn't quite get you
00:16:03.420 all the way there,
00:16:04.080 does it?
00:16:04.540 You know,
00:16:04.800 she's asked by Ducey.
00:16:06.460 Hold on.
00:16:07.780 Bondi said,
00:16:08.920 the list is on my desk.
00:16:10.260 Specifically asked
00:16:10.920 about the client list.
00:16:12.160 Said,
00:16:12.320 the list is on my desk.
00:16:14.080 And the press secretary says,
00:16:15.740 well, no,
00:16:16.080 she was referring to
00:16:16.680 all of the paperwork,
00:16:17.560 all of the files.
00:16:18.240 But that's not what Bondi said.
00:16:20.780 Bondi was asked
00:16:21.400 a very specific question
00:16:22.420 about the client list.
00:16:24.100 And she said,
00:16:24.800 the list is on my desk.
00:16:27.280 So,
00:16:27.820 and then
00:16:29.260 Caroline moves on
00:16:31.200 and says,
00:16:31.820 look,
00:16:32.080 we've done a great job
00:16:33.000 locking up criminals here.
00:16:34.260 Any more questions,
00:16:35.300 I refer you to the DOJ.
00:16:36.740 As if to say,
00:16:38.020 I'm giving you my best.
00:16:40.280 You want to talk to the DOJ,
00:16:41.600 go talk to the DOJ.
00:16:42.560 A good answer.
00:16:43.780 She's then asked further
00:16:45.100 about this.
00:16:45.860 Obviously,
00:16:46.200 it's the biggest news story
00:16:46.900 of the day.
00:16:48.120 She's asked,
00:16:49.260 well,
00:16:49.480 what about accountability
00:16:50.840 for the clients?
00:16:54.120 Caroline,
00:16:54.800 the DOJ and FBI
00:16:55.740 have now concluded
00:16:56.460 there was no
00:16:57.140 Jeffrey Epstein client list.
00:16:59.260 What do you tell MAGA supporters
00:17:00.360 who say
00:17:01.280 they want anyone involved
00:17:02.700 in Jeffrey Epstein's alleged crimes
00:17:04.380 to be held accountable?
00:17:05.360 This administration
00:17:06.100 wants anyone
00:17:06.940 who has ever committed a crime
00:17:08.280 to be held accountable.
00:17:09.080 And I would argue
00:17:10.220 this administration
00:17:10.940 has done more
00:17:11.820 to lock up bad guys
00:17:13.180 than certainly
00:17:14.060 the previous administration.
00:17:15.820 And the Trump administration
00:17:16.600 is committed to truth
00:17:18.000 and to transparency.
00:17:19.440 That's why
00:17:19.840 the attorney general
00:17:20.660 and the FBI director
00:17:21.820 pledged
00:17:22.960 at the president's direction
00:17:24.180 to do an exhaustive review
00:17:26.400 of all of the files
00:17:27.700 related to Jeffrey Epstein's crimes
00:17:29.440 and his death.
00:17:30.520 And they put out a memo
00:17:31.880 in conclusion of that review.
00:17:33.780 There was material
00:17:34.840 they did not release
00:17:35.720 because, frankly,
00:17:36.480 it was incredibly graphic
00:17:37.660 and it contained
00:17:38.460 child pornography
00:17:39.480 which is not something
00:17:40.560 that's appropriate
00:17:41.180 for public consumption.
00:17:43.260 But they committed
00:17:44.400 to an exhaustive investigation.
00:17:46.780 That's what they did
00:17:47.560 and they provided
00:17:48.280 the results of that.
00:17:49.400 That's transparency.
00:17:50.900 Okay.
00:17:51.400 So that's it.
00:17:52.260 Look, we did what we said
00:17:53.620 we were going to do.
00:17:54.220 We were going to investigate this.
00:17:55.220 We've come to our conclusion.
00:17:56.200 You might not like the conclusion
00:17:57.480 but there it is.
00:17:58.300 That's our conclusion.
00:17:59.120 We're moving on.
00:18:00.400 Okay.
00:18:02.900 I still want accountability
00:18:04.540 for the clients
00:18:05.400 but I'm not talking about
00:18:06.360 the Johns.
00:18:06.940 I mean, sure,
00:18:07.500 the rest of the Johns do
00:18:08.300 but I want to know about
00:18:10.280 who was backing Epstein.
00:18:14.480 Was he really just a rich guy
00:18:17.240 who made his own money
00:18:18.100 and funded his own weird lifestyle?
00:18:20.040 It's possible.
00:18:21.860 Or was he being backed
00:18:23.480 by intelligence agencies
00:18:24.860 as the Daily Beast
00:18:27.520 reported that then U.S. Attorney
00:18:30.040 Alex Acosta said?
00:18:31.900 And was he being backed
00:18:33.140 by the CIA
00:18:34.040 as has been speculated
00:18:36.380 or by Mossad
00:18:37.280 as has been speculated
00:18:38.260 because of the
00:18:38.700 Ghislaine Maxwell connection
00:18:39.800 or by any of the
00:18:42.800 Five Eyes agencies
00:18:43.840 or by whoever?
00:18:45.080 I don't know.
00:18:45.480 I'd like to know.
00:18:46.000 Those are the more
00:18:46.480 interesting clients.
00:18:47.960 The Johns are less interesting.
00:18:50.540 Sins of the flesh
00:18:51.360 are less interesting
00:18:52.280 than sins of fraud
00:18:53.980 and deception
00:18:55.040 and statecraft.
00:18:56.620 But all of that said,
00:18:57.740 I'm having a little fun
00:19:00.420 with the official storyline
00:19:02.280 about the Epstein saga
00:19:03.900 because it's preposterous.
00:19:05.920 But I also want to defend
00:19:09.720 the U.S. government here.
00:19:11.880 Not even just the Trump administration.
00:19:13.100 I want to defend
00:19:13.540 the U.S. government here
00:19:14.240 a little bit.
00:19:17.060 Governments do not behave
00:19:19.200 in a transparent way
00:19:20.500 and they cannot behave
00:19:21.720 in a totally transparent way.
00:19:23.440 You want some degree
00:19:24.660 of democratic accountability,
00:19:25.920 certainly.
00:19:27.060 But in order for a government
00:19:28.100 to function,
00:19:29.480 you cannot have
00:19:30.540 a direct government
00:19:31.820 of the people
00:19:32.720 with direct
00:19:34.760 democratic transparency
00:19:37.000 on every single matter.
00:19:38.280 That's not how affairs
00:19:39.100 of state are conducted.
00:19:40.320 That's not how
00:19:41.060 political alliances
00:19:42.320 are conducted.
00:19:43.140 That's not how
00:19:43.900 geopolitics is conducted.
00:19:45.440 That's not how
00:19:46.260 any institution
00:19:46.980 really is conducted.
00:19:47.980 And so you are never
00:19:49.120 going to get that.
00:19:50.180 I guess this is my
00:19:51.180 biggest takeaway
00:19:51.840 from the whole Epstein story
00:19:53.000 is the political innocence
00:19:55.420 and naivete
00:19:56.460 required to believe
00:19:58.260 that you were ever
00:19:59.080 going to get
00:19:59.820 any juicy story.
00:20:03.240 If the juicy speculation
00:20:04.600 is not true,
00:20:05.740 then obviously you're not
00:20:06.280 going to get the story.
00:20:07.000 If it is true,
00:20:07.760 you're also not going
00:20:08.320 to get the story.
00:20:10.560 The innocence,
00:20:11.520 the naivete to say,
00:20:12.200 our government's so corrupt
00:20:13.360 that they do all these
00:20:15.120 terrible things,
00:20:15.820 but they'll just tell us.
00:20:17.000 No.
00:20:17.980 And that's not even
00:20:18.740 how governments act.
00:20:19.760 You're not going to get
00:20:23.740 the truth.
00:20:23.940 If it was a spy ring,
00:20:24.980 if it was like a
00:20:25.840 state-sponsored spy ring,
00:20:26.920 you're never going to
00:20:27.480 get the truth about that
00:20:28.380 because that's not how
00:20:29.140 spy rings work.
00:20:30.220 All states spy,
00:20:31.940 and they don't tell you
00:20:33.460 that they're spying.
00:20:34.300 They don't tell you
00:20:34.800 how they spy.
00:20:35.360 That's not what
00:20:35.740 espionage is.
00:20:37.480 You're not going to,
00:20:38.000 I know that's unsatisfying,
00:20:39.560 and I know people say,
00:20:40.160 what about the justice?
00:20:42.420 What about the transparency?
00:20:43.560 I want to know
00:20:43.940 all the details.
00:20:44.480 That's not how
00:20:45.960 government works.
00:20:46.660 Sorry.
00:20:48.580 Sorry to disabuse you
00:20:50.040 of your idealistic notion.
00:20:52.920 But if you're sitting there
00:20:55.100 on your couch
00:20:55.760 holding your breath
00:20:56.880 for the real story
00:20:58.060 about JFK
00:20:59.100 or Epstein
00:21:00.100 or whatever,
00:21:01.640 you're going to be
00:21:02.840 holding your breath
00:21:03.380 a long time.
00:21:04.200 Your blood oxygen levels
00:21:05.240 are going to drop
00:21:05.700 real, real low.
00:21:07.940 Now, speaking of
00:21:08.760 weird sex stuff,
00:21:10.080 moving on from that
00:21:11.140 diatribe on Jeffrey Epstein,
00:21:12.920 the strangest political story,
00:21:14.460 one of the strangest
00:21:15.700 political stories of our time
00:21:16.640 there is
00:21:18.060 a less strange,
00:21:20.060 more quotidian,
00:21:20.940 but equally gory
00:21:21.760 and gruesome story
00:21:22.640 about a trans-identified coach
00:21:25.020 at a Gettysburg,
00:21:26.940 Pennsylvania high school
00:21:27.940 who was found,
00:21:29.500 you're going to have to
00:21:29.980 pull over your car
00:21:30.580 for this one,
00:21:31.100 take a seat
00:21:31.540 if you're standing up.
00:21:32.480 He was found
00:21:33.240 to have sent
00:21:35.180 homemade pornography
00:21:37.080 to a school board member.
00:21:38.460 Can you imagine
00:21:38.940 this guy
00:21:39.560 who is an obvious
00:21:42.200 sexual deviant
00:21:43.520 and complete pervert,
00:21:44.900 he did something
00:21:46.120 that was deviant
00:21:46.860 and perverted.
00:21:47.420 It's crazy.
00:21:48.060 It's always,
00:21:48.740 always the ones
00:21:49.700 you must expect.
00:21:51.020 This has real
00:21:51.800 political implications
00:21:52.620 because it helps
00:21:54.160 answer a question
00:21:55.060 that the libs
00:21:56.600 and the libertarians
00:21:57.440 have about
00:21:58.600 conservative social policy
00:22:00.140 right now.
00:22:00.780 This is your answer.
00:22:01.580 A question that they
00:22:02.160 pose to you all the time,
00:22:03.080 this is your answer.
00:22:04.060 Hold on,
00:22:04.860 just one second.
00:22:05.620 Hold on,
00:22:06.000 pull over your car,
00:22:06.680 sit down if you're
00:22:07.200 standing up.
00:22:07.900 Go to

00:22:11.200 Here's an uncomfortable truth.
00:22:13.220 Most big banks
00:22:14.400 in the country
00:22:15.020 are not just neutral,
00:22:16.560 they're actively
00:22:17.220 working against you.
00:22:18.960 They take the money
00:22:19.760 that you deposit
00:22:20.400 and use it to fund
00:22:21.280 agendas that oppose
00:22:22.080 faith, family,
00:22:22.780 and freedom,
00:22:23.340 gender ideology,
00:22:24.300 abortion activism,
00:22:25.100 ESG mandates,
00:22:25.760 you name it.
00:22:26.680 And you are unknowingly
00:22:27.960 helping them do it.
00:22:29.160 That is why
00:22:29.780 I was so pleased
00:22:31.460 to hear about
00:22:32.000 Old Glory Bank
00:22:33.160 went right over
00:22:34.100 to open an account
00:22:34.960 and you should
00:22:35.820 open an account too.
00:22:36.680 This is an FDIC
00:22:38.540 insured bank
00:22:39.400 built by people
00:22:40.140 who fear God,
00:22:41.080 love this country,
00:22:41.840 and still believe
00:22:42.620 in right and wrong.
00:22:44.200 They don't fund evil,
00:22:45.480 they don't cancel people
00:22:46.460 for standing up for truth,
00:22:47.540 they protect your money
00:22:48.420 and your values.
00:22:49.360 If you believe
00:22:49.840 stewardship matters,
00:22:51.240 then put your money
00:22:52.260 where your heart is.
00:22:54.660 It only takes
00:22:55.560 minutes to switch.
00:22:57.140 Stop letting your money
00:22:58.100 serve the wrong side.

00:23:06.380 It is a great bank,
00:23:07.740 super easy to use,
00:23:09.340 especially at a time
00:23:10.020 when even President Trump
00:23:10.800 is bringing up
00:23:11.240 the risk of debanking
00:23:12.160 for people
00:23:12.600 on the political right.

00:23:19.220 Redux is reporting
00:23:20.360 a trans-identified male
00:23:21.700 sports coach
00:23:22.240 who was previously
00:23:23.280 at the center
00:23:24.040 of multiple controversies
00:23:26.100 at a Gettysburg high school
00:23:27.740 has apparently,
00:23:30.600 has reportedly boasted
00:23:31.960 in some weird porn forum,
00:23:33.960 like a fetish forum
00:23:35.940 that he made
00:23:37.240 homemade pornography
00:23:38.580 and then sent it
00:23:40.720 to a member
00:23:41.200 of the school board.
00:23:42.380 And he did this,
00:23:44.100 according to the reporting,
00:23:45.180 specifically
00:23:45.680 to fulfill his,
00:23:47.600 quote,
00:23:48.020 exposure fetish,
00:23:49.600 which I have to surmise,
00:23:51.540 I have to infer,
00:23:54.480 means he gets a thrill
00:23:55.940 out of exposing himself
00:23:57.420 to people.
00:23:57.920 Now, this is going to be
00:23:59.120 really, really surprising
00:24:00.280 because in 2022,
00:24:02.960 months after this guy
00:24:04.000 began identifying
00:24:04.760 as a woman
00:24:05.340 and using facilities
00:24:06.320 for women and girls,
00:24:07.420 he reportedly stripped down
00:24:08.680 to, quote,
00:24:09.320 a bra and panties
00:24:10.440 in the girls' locker room
00:24:11.540 where the high school
00:24:14.120 soccer team was changing
00:24:15.040 and he exposed himself
00:24:16.680 to these girls.
00:24:18.320 So it's so weird.
00:24:18.940 A guy who did that,
00:24:20.040 who had a history
00:24:20.700 of doing that,
00:24:22.060 apparently,
00:24:22.860 reportedly admitted
00:24:23.800 on a weird,
00:24:25.300 creepy sex website
00:24:26.280 that he got a weird,
00:24:27.660 creepy sexual thrill
00:24:28.380 out of doing that.
00:24:30.280 Isn't that weird?
00:24:31.260 Wow.
00:24:31.940 Who could have seen
00:24:32.820 that one coming?
00:24:35.460 The libs
00:24:36.220 and some of the libertarians
00:24:37.720 have been asking
00:24:39.480 conservatives
00:24:40.000 in recent years
00:24:40.820 why we want
00:24:42.920 to ban pornography.
00:24:46.020 Either ban it outright
00:24:47.260 or heavily,
00:24:48.220 heavily regulate it
00:24:48.960 to keep it out
00:24:49.860 of the hands of children
00:24:50.660 and make it
00:24:51.360 more obviously
00:24:52.960 shameful to access
00:24:54.340 so as to discourage
00:24:55.620 people from using it.
00:24:57.160 Why do you want
00:24:57.960 to ban pornography?
00:24:59.220 Why do you,
00:24:59.620 what's it to you?
00:25:00.720 You know,
00:25:00.920 what's it matter to you
00:25:01.980 what someone does
00:25:02.820 in the privacy
00:25:03.400 of his own cell phone
00:25:04.500 or whatever?
00:25:05.660 Why,
00:25:05.960 what does it matter to you?
00:25:07.000 Why get your,
00:25:07.860 get your opinions
00:25:09.860 out of other people's bedrooms?
00:25:12.420 What's it,
00:25:13.020 how does it affect you?
00:25:16.900 Because it encourages people
00:25:18.580 to do this stuff.
00:25:20.560 That's how it affects me.
00:25:21.760 this guy,
00:25:24.760 according to the reports,
00:25:26.740 who is on a lot
00:25:27.360 of weird sex websites
00:25:28.440 as we all know.
00:25:31.440 And that,
00:25:32.220 those websites
00:25:32.760 appear to have encouraged him
00:25:34.040 in his weird sexual behaviors,
00:25:36.140 his weird sexual behaviors
00:25:37.360 that bled over
00:25:38.640 into his school
00:25:39.980 that he was working at
00:25:40.960 where he did weird sex stuff
00:25:42.460 in front of kids.
00:25:43.220 It turns out
00:25:46.820 that what people do
00:25:48.300 in their private lives
00:25:49.300 affects their public life
00:25:51.900 as well
00:25:52.360 because we're,
00:25:54.100 we're individual human beings.
00:25:55.900 We're not Dr. Jekyll
00:25:56.960 and Mr. Hyde.
00:25:58.680 We're not,
00:25:59.440 we're not multiple personality.
00:26:01.140 We're not,
00:26:01.560 we don't,
00:26:01.960 we can't just compartmentalize
00:26:03.800 our identities
00:26:04.280 and say,
00:26:04.600 okay,
00:26:04.700 well,
00:26:04.840 I'm in the evening
00:26:06.660 I'm this person,
00:26:07.740 but then in the daytime
00:26:08.940 I'm this other person
00:26:09.920 and they have nothing
00:26:10.700 to do with each other.
00:26:12.340 That's not how it works.
00:26:15.600 As we've learned
00:26:16.380 from the Epstein saga,
00:26:17.320 weird sex stuff
00:26:17.860 has a lot of political import
00:26:19.720 and consequences.
00:26:23.420 That's why.
00:26:24.540 That's why it matters
00:26:25.460 because no man
00:26:26.420 is an island
00:26:26.940 entire unto himself
00:26:27.960 because we're
00:26:30.160 the political creature
00:26:31.000 because a civilization,
00:26:34.820 a society
00:26:35.380 that is in a perpetual state
00:26:37.440 of grave mortal sin
00:26:39.080 and even if you don't want
00:26:42.080 to use religious language,
00:26:43.620 it's like weird creepy habits
00:26:45.240 that melt your brain
00:26:46.340 and make you do weird stuff,
00:26:47.840 shameful stuff.
00:26:49.060 That kind of society
00:26:50.260 is not going to flourish
00:26:51.720 because those same people
00:26:53.680 who are doing weird creepy stuff
00:26:55.020 in their supposed private time,
00:26:56.520 are going to be weird creepy people
00:26:58.320 in their public time too.
00:27:00.300 That's why we want to ban it
00:27:01.620 because it does affect us
00:27:04.680 because we're all social creatures
00:27:06.860 and because it's just manifestly
00:27:09.160 not good
00:27:09.620 and we can know those things
00:27:10.900 with our reason.
00:27:12.620 Okay.
00:27:13.920 Speaking of young people,
00:27:15.840 crazy story out of Thailand.
00:27:17.340 Really sad story,
00:27:18.160 but also really,
00:27:19.160 really crazy.
00:27:19.540 An eight-year-old boy
00:27:20.820 was found
00:27:21.980 to be raised by dogs.
00:27:25.520 This kid,
00:27:26.900 according to reporting,
00:27:28.700 according to the Mirror UK,
00:27:30.620 locals reported
00:27:31.660 seeing this kid's mother
00:27:33.100 begging for change
00:27:34.220 and food in the local area
00:27:35.520 and she apparently
00:27:38.580 took the kid to school
00:27:39.560 one time to get a grant
00:27:40.680 for his education,
00:27:41.500 but it was a grant
00:27:42.320 that she then reportedly
00:27:43.420 just blew on drugs
00:27:44.620 for herself.
00:27:45.720 So she never sent the kid
00:27:46.920 to school.
00:27:47.340 He was completely uneducated.
00:27:49.700 Families nearby
00:27:50.720 reportedly banned
00:27:52.060 their children
00:27:52.600 from interacting
00:27:53.400 with this little boy
00:27:54.440 because of his mother's behavior
00:27:55.940 and without any humans
00:27:57.660 to interact with,
00:27:58.440 the mother neglected him
00:27:59.260 because she was doing drugs.
00:28:00.840 He turned to dogs
00:28:02.080 for socialization
00:28:03.060 and ended up mimicking
00:28:04.400 their behavior
00:28:04.960 so that when he was found,
00:28:06.120 he could not speak.
00:28:07.460 He could only bark.
00:28:09.980 His only companions
00:28:11.200 were dogs
00:28:11.920 who appear to have raised him.
00:28:15.620 This is
00:28:16.540 this is related
00:28:18.340 to a story
00:28:21.940 that we just talked about,
00:28:23.640 which is why you're allowed
00:28:24.780 to have an opinion
00:28:25.760 about people's
00:28:26.940 supposedly private behavior
00:28:28.340 because we are
00:28:31.260 mimetic creatures.
00:28:33.460 So how did the kid
00:28:34.600 learn to bark?
00:28:35.780 How did the,
00:28:36.200 because we're mimetic creatures,
00:28:37.640 we just imitate each other.
00:28:39.320 So we're,
00:28:40.920 we're,
00:28:41.500 you know,
00:28:42.120 you're going to adopt
00:28:44.060 the speech patterns
00:28:45.280 of people that you talk to.
00:28:46.700 You're going to adopt
00:28:47.480 the desires even
00:28:48.540 of people you talk to.
00:28:49.880 You're going to want to wear
00:28:50.520 the same kind of clothes
00:28:51.420 that the people you admire
00:28:52.400 wear.
00:28:53.460 You know,
00:28:53.760 well,
00:28:53.880 you're going to want to buy
00:28:54.500 the nice wristwatch,
00:28:56.360 not because you know
00:28:57.020 anything about horology,
00:28:58.260 but because the guy
00:28:59.840 that you admire
00:29:00.420 wears that wristwatch.
00:29:01.420 You're going to,
00:29:01.680 we're mimetic.
00:29:02.800 And so if the creatures
00:29:03.960 that you're spending
00:29:05.040 all your time with
00:29:05.560 are dogs,
00:29:06.060 you're going to bark
00:29:06.540 like a dog.
00:29:07.060 And you can't be surprised
00:29:10.260 when the local people
00:29:11.180 don't want to have
00:29:12.500 their kids interact with you
00:29:13.440 because they know
00:29:14.040 that you're,
00:29:15.100 the kids are going
00:29:15.720 to act like you too.
00:29:16.560 And that's why you got to,
00:29:17.540 you're known by the friends
00:29:18.180 you keep.
00:29:18.540 And that's why sometimes
00:29:19.840 parents say,
00:29:20.780 don't hang out
00:29:21.380 with that family over there.
00:29:24.460 That's also why
00:29:25.460 the political upshot
00:29:26.600 of this,
00:29:27.020 the good news politically
00:29:27.980 is that's why
00:29:29.200 we're allowed
00:29:29.720 to have an opinion
00:29:30.600 about other people's behavior.
00:29:32.480 Because other people's behavior
00:29:34.340 affects us.
00:29:36.100 And if you don't
00:29:38.040 have standards and norms
00:29:39.380 to keep people in check,
00:29:41.480 if you just let them
00:29:42.220 gallivant like creeps
00:29:43.740 at a pride parade
00:29:45.020 or bark like dogs
00:29:46.180 because of parental neglect
00:29:48.280 or do any,
00:29:49.660 any matter of weird stuff,
00:29:51.080 it's going to affect everyone.
00:29:52.920 It's going to spread
00:29:53.640 like a putrid miasma
00:29:55.680 over your civilization
00:29:56.760 because people are going
00:29:57.880 to imitate it unconsciously.
00:29:59.700 That's just how
00:30:00.820 mimesis and mimetic desire works.
00:30:02.660 Now, speaking of education,
00:30:04.280 you know that guy
00:30:06.240 in New York,
00:30:08.040 the socialist Muslim
00:30:10.000 who won the Democrat primary,
00:30:13.880 he'll probably be
00:30:14.260 the next mayor of New York,
00:30:15.500 Sauron Mamdani?
00:30:17.600 Well, this guy
00:30:18.500 is a breaking news story
00:30:19.580 from Benjamin Ryan.
00:30:21.600 I think it was
00:30:21.920 the New York Times reported it.
00:30:24.640 Benjamin Ryan
00:30:25.300 was a liberal reporter.
00:30:26.960 Though a hat tip here
00:30:27.820 to Cremio,
00:30:28.460 which is a far right-wing
00:30:30.220 Twitter account,
00:30:30.880 is a story
00:30:32.620 that apparently
00:30:33.240 this guy Mamdani
00:30:34.380 pretended to be black
00:30:36.900 on his application
00:30:37.840 to Columbia University.
00:30:39.820 This guy Mamdani,
00:30:40.980 who's pretty white,
00:30:42.700 again, what is he?
00:30:43.300 He's Indian or something?
00:30:44.100 I don't know.
00:30:44.340 Whatever he is,
00:30:44.780 he's fairly light-skinned.
00:30:46.060 He certainly ain't a black guy.
00:30:47.720 He pretended to be a black guy
00:30:49.080 to get into Columbia University.
00:30:51.740 And he defended it, too,
00:30:53.020 by the way.
00:30:54.420 So here's a New York Times reporting.
00:30:56.260 Mamdani identified as,
00:30:57.220 Mamdani identified as Asian
00:31:00.660 and African-American
00:31:01.880 on college application.
00:31:04.940 Zoran Mamdani,
00:31:06.080 the Democrat running
00:31:06.800 for mayor of New York City,
00:31:07.920 was born in Uganda.
00:31:09.160 He doesn't consider himself black,
00:31:10.920 but said the application
00:31:11.820 did not allow
00:31:13.020 for the complexity
00:31:13.880 of his background.
00:31:15.720 And this is how he defended it.
00:31:17.360 He said,
00:31:17.880 most college applications
00:31:19.060 don't have a box
00:31:20.060 for Indian Ugandans.
00:31:21.600 So I checked multiple boxes
00:31:23.060 trying to capture
00:31:23.680 the fullness of my background.
00:31:25.320 Even though these boxes
00:31:26.320 are constraining,
00:31:27.500 I want my college application
00:31:28.940 to reflect who I was.
00:31:32.380 This is less credible
00:31:34.140 than the government conclusions
00:31:36.460 about Jeffrey Epstein.
00:31:37.460 No, no, you understand.
00:31:38.760 The fullness of my background
00:31:40.200 was not comprehensible
00:31:41.820 by the,
00:31:42.600 so I had to pretend
00:31:43.380 to be a black guy.
00:31:45.540 That's not why he did it.
00:31:47.240 He did it because
00:31:48.640 he wanted an advantage.
00:31:51.080 And he knows that,
00:31:52.320 at least at that time,
00:31:53.100 even still today,
00:31:54.560 even after the Supreme Court
00:31:55.620 struck down affirmative action,
00:31:56.580 but even still today,
00:31:58.540 if you say you're black
00:31:59.960 on your college application,
00:32:01.240 you get an advantage.
00:32:02.440 You get bonus points.
00:32:03.980 It's easier to get in.
00:32:05.460 That's why he did it.
00:32:07.540 Now, to me,
00:32:08.000 the biggest red flag
00:32:08.620 of this whole story
00:32:09.260 is that he went to Columbia.
00:32:12.040 Columbia University,
00:32:13.260 they produce,
00:32:14.120 of all the schools,
00:32:15.180 and they seem to produce
00:32:16.180 some of the absolute worst,
00:32:18.340 the worst of the worst.
00:32:19.600 But beyond that,
00:32:21.020 everyone's saying,
00:32:21.480 well, he's a radical Muslim.
00:32:22.680 I don't see any evidence
00:32:23.540 he's a radical Muslim.
00:32:25.340 He seems like a communist.
00:32:26.780 I think there's a lot of evidence
00:32:27.540 he's a communist.
00:32:28.180 I don't see evidence.
00:32:28.940 I think he's a regular old lefty
00:32:31.220 who,
00:32:32.600 kind of an extreme lefty,
00:32:35.000 a race lefty,
00:32:36.420 what do they call it?
00:32:36.880 Gay race communism,
00:32:38.020 you know,
00:32:38.220 like a real extreme,
00:32:39.940 woke kind of lefty.
00:32:41.080 But I don't see evidence
00:32:41.980 that he's an Islamist.
00:32:44.180 In some ways,
00:32:44.500 it would be an improvement
00:32:45.160 if he were an Islamist.
00:32:46.240 At least then I could say,
00:32:47.360 okay,
00:32:47.540 he believes in God
00:32:48.440 to some degree.
00:32:49.640 He believes in some version
00:32:52.260 of a kind of slightly,
00:32:54.280 relatively traditional morality.
00:32:56.100 And no,
00:32:56.460 it's not that.
00:32:57.280 It seems more like
00:32:58.260 he engages in
00:32:59.600 what we used to call woke,
00:33:01.340 which we now call
00:33:01.900 gay race communism.
00:33:04.920 That said,
00:33:06.300 more power to him.
00:33:08.340 That's what I say.
00:33:09.200 I know this is an unpopular view
00:33:10.400 on the Mamdani story.
00:33:12.140 More power to him.
00:33:14.400 If you believe
00:33:15.560 that the racial discrimination
00:33:18.560 that the government
00:33:19.960 has enforced
00:33:20.900 in college applications
00:33:22.200 for decades
00:33:22.860 is unjust,
00:33:24.920 then I don't see
00:33:28.100 why we would be upset
00:33:29.120 about this guy
00:33:29.780 subverting the system.
00:33:31.140 He's subverting.
00:33:31.640 He's not a black guy.
00:33:32.680 He pretended to be
00:33:33.420 a black guy.
00:33:34.840 He's subverting the system
00:33:36.260 to his own benefit.
00:33:37.060 He wasn't doing it
00:33:37.480 to public benefit.
00:33:38.080 He was doing it
00:33:38.420 to his own benefit.
00:33:39.120 But if you think
00:33:39.780 that that system's unjust,
00:33:41.820 I don't know why
00:33:42.680 we're on his case.
00:33:44.780 Shouldn't we have all
00:33:45.520 been subverting the system?
00:33:46.480 If you think it's
00:33:46.840 really, really unjust,
00:33:47.900 shouldn't we have been
00:33:48.940 subverting it if we can?
00:33:50.300 He didn't even lie.
00:33:51.560 He was born in Uganda,
00:33:52.960 so technically
00:33:53.580 he can claim to be African.
00:33:55.040 It's like Elon Musk
00:33:56.020 pretending to be
00:33:57.680 an African-American,
00:33:58.860 you know.
00:33:59.380 But I don't know
00:34:01.300 if he could do it.
00:34:04.120 I don't know.
00:34:04.520 More power to him.
00:34:05.360 Sorry.
00:34:05.720 There are plenty of reasons
00:34:06.300 to criticize this guy.
00:34:07.220 I don't think that is one of them.
00:34:08.480 Now,
00:34:09.740 speaking of working the system,
00:34:11.960 CNN has some
00:34:13.500 oddly kind words
00:34:15.220 for President Trump.
00:34:15.880 And it actually ties
00:34:16.740 into what we've all
00:34:17.500 been talking about.
00:34:18.300 The biggest compliment
00:34:19.120 I've ever seen CNN
00:34:20.460 pay to Donald Trump.
00:34:22.020 Those sweltering summer nights

00:34:52.820 Speaking about
00:34:53.240 working the system,
00:34:53.960 CNN
00:34:54.180 has just
00:34:56.380 paid Donald Trump
00:34:57.220 the greatest compliment
00:34:57.980 I've ever seen
00:34:58.620 them pay him.
00:35:00.200 They say that
00:35:00.680 with the passage
00:35:01.340 of the Big Beautiful Bill Act,
00:35:03.800 Trump's big legislative
00:35:04.820 achievement this year,
00:35:06.680 Trump has figured out
00:35:07.500 how to work the system
00:35:08.340 in his favor.
00:35:08.900 The other problems
00:35:11.600 with the bill,
00:35:12.120 just to be clear,
00:35:13.360 one of the other parts
00:35:14.840 of this that I think
00:35:15.580 might go unnoticed
00:35:17.020 is how much
00:35:19.140 this time,
00:35:20.680 this second term
00:35:22.280 for President Trump
00:35:23.020 is different
00:35:23.700 than the first term.
00:35:25.320 They have figured out
00:35:26.740 in that four years
00:35:27.540 that President Trump
00:35:28.200 was not in office
00:35:29.140 how to work the system
00:35:30.860 in their favor.
00:35:31.840 That was not something
00:35:32.520 we saw during
00:35:33.600 the chaotic first term.
00:35:35.040 And, you know,
00:35:35.420 in the last couple days
00:35:36.180 we've been talking
00:35:36.660 about this nonstop,
00:35:37.900 this idea that
00:35:38.840 oh, is the bill
00:35:40.100 on the verge of collapse?
00:35:41.900 And every time
00:35:42.620 I spoke to White House
00:35:43.420 officials,
00:35:44.000 they said they like
00:35:44.960 their odds.
00:35:45.920 They think that they
00:35:46.820 are feeling optimistic.
00:35:48.520 And when I ask why,
00:35:50.340 they just point me
00:35:51.420 to what we've seen
00:35:52.280 for the past six months,
00:35:53.280 which was anytime
00:35:54.400 President Trump
00:35:55.080 has wanted to get
00:35:55.800 something done in Congress,
00:35:57.420 even with people
00:35:58.620 opposing it,
00:35:59.480 almost every time
00:36:00.420 he has been able
00:36:00.900 to strong arm something
00:36:02.440 through the Senate,
00:36:03.600 through the House
00:36:04.180 that he wanted to get done
00:36:05.180 in terms of his agenda.
00:36:06.180 I love this.
00:36:08.700 This is a great compliment.
00:36:09.680 They probably didn't
00:36:10.540 mean this as a compliment.
00:36:12.520 And I bet there are
00:36:13.300 even a lot of people
00:36:13.860 on the right
00:36:14.340 who don't think
00:36:15.720 this is a compliment.
00:36:16.500 They'll say,
00:36:16.800 well, he's just
00:36:17.340 working the system.
00:36:19.660 Donald Trump
00:36:20.420 just figured out
00:36:21.060 how to work the system
00:36:22.280 to his advantage.
00:36:24.120 And you even have
00:36:24.660 the people on the right
00:36:25.340 who don't like
00:36:25.720 the big, beautiful bill.
00:36:26.800 I think mostly
00:36:27.460 because they misunderstand it
00:36:28.420 or misunderstand
00:36:28.960 how government works.
00:36:29.740 But they say,
00:36:30.620 oh, I don't,
00:36:31.180 he just worked the system.
00:36:32.780 I hate the system.
00:36:33.880 Ah, dastardly system.
00:36:35.920 I hate it.
00:36:38.720 I only want politicians
00:36:40.680 who know how to work
00:36:42.160 the system.
00:36:43.620 I only,
00:36:44.760 I want this to be
00:36:45.480 loud and clear.
00:36:47.220 I only,
00:36:48.100 I do not care
00:36:50.360 one iota
00:36:51.800 for a supposedly
00:36:53.200 principled politician
00:36:54.760 who has no idea
00:36:56.520 how to work the system.
00:36:57.420 That principled man
00:36:58.900 who never gets
00:37:00.200 anything done.
00:37:01.680 First of all,
00:37:02.140 I question his principles
00:37:03.320 to start.
00:37:04.900 If his principles
00:37:05.920 involve never
00:37:07.120 accomplishing anything,
00:37:08.360 I'm not that into
00:37:09.280 his principles.
00:37:12.000 If you're going to be
00:37:12.800 a politician,
00:37:13.980 learn how to work
00:37:15.220 the system.
00:37:15.780 If you're really
00:37:16.140 in any job,
00:37:17.800 in any job,
00:37:19.520 in any industry,
00:37:20.920 you need to be able
00:37:22.240 to get results.
00:37:24.560 And getting results
00:37:25.800 involves understanding
00:37:27.160 how the system works.
00:37:27.860 This goes all the way
00:37:28.700 back to
00:37:29.320 the speech I just gave
00:37:32.360 at Ave Maria University
00:37:33.300 for the commencement,
00:37:34.440 which is,
00:37:34.960 don't change the world.
00:37:36.840 You know,
00:37:36.960 everyone,
00:37:37.260 you always hear,
00:37:37.600 change the world.
00:37:38.160 Go out there
00:37:38.560 and change the world.
00:37:39.460 And you hear this
00:37:39.980 for the politicians.
00:37:40.720 Go out there
00:37:41.180 and you need to
00:37:41.940 change government.
00:37:43.220 You're not going
00:37:43.500 to change government.
00:37:44.620 Government's pretty stable.
00:37:45.500 It's been pretty stable
00:37:46.140 since Polybius.
00:37:47.220 There are basically
00:37:47.780 three kinds.
00:37:48.520 There's monarchy,
00:37:49.840 aristocracy,
00:37:50.960 and democracy.
00:37:51.900 There are bad versions
00:37:52.660 of that,
00:37:53.140 which is tyranny,
00:37:54.300 oligarchy,
00:37:54.880 and mob rule.
00:37:56.340 Some combination
00:37:57.180 thereof.
00:37:58.520 That's pretty much it.
00:38:00.820 One time,
00:38:01.440 I remember,
00:38:01.800 Norm Macdonald did a bit once
00:38:03.080 where he was talking about
00:38:04.340 the thing that husbands
00:38:06.100 and wives do together.
00:38:07.820 He was joking about people
00:38:08.980 who say they've invented
00:38:09.820 something new.
00:38:10.400 He said,
00:38:10.580 there are really only
00:38:10.980 like three things you can do.
00:38:12.100 Sometimes you think
00:38:12.620 you invented a fourth thing,
00:38:13.520 but it's really just
00:38:13.980 a combination of like
00:38:14.740 two of them.
00:38:15.360 Anyway,
00:38:15.760 that's the same thing
00:38:16.400 with government.
00:38:17.060 Okay?
00:38:18.300 You're not going to
00:38:19.080 reinvent government.
00:38:21.060 You can
00:38:21.720 wield the government
00:38:23.880 toward good ends.
00:38:24.860 I certainly want that
00:38:26.300 for my politicians,
00:38:27.120 but in order to do that,
00:38:28.680 you need to
00:38:29.400 understand how the system works
00:38:31.360 and work the system
00:38:32.940 and get good stuff.
00:38:35.100 If you want to go out there
00:38:36.200 and have a good effect
00:38:36.940 on the world,
00:38:37.860 don't go out setting out
00:38:38.980 to change the world.
00:38:39.700 You're not going to
00:38:40.020 change the world.
00:38:41.100 Understand how the world works,
00:38:43.040 work within the limits
00:38:44.360 that are imposed by the world,
00:38:45.600 and then do good things.
00:38:46.620 That's what I want.
00:38:48.240 Now,
00:38:49.520 Trump's success
00:38:50.160 is coming at a cost.
00:38:51.040 Joe Biden
00:38:51.440 is reportedly
00:38:53.300 whining about it.
00:38:55.260 Apparently,
00:38:55.620 Biden's on the speaking circuit.
00:38:56.840 Kind of ironic.
00:38:57.480 The guy couldn't speak
00:38:58.120 for four years,
00:38:58.900 and now he's on the speaking circuit
00:38:59.840 to fill up the coffers.
00:39:01.100 Guess the Hunter Biden money
00:39:01.980 ran out.
00:39:02.880 Burisma not paying
00:39:03.700 as much anymore.
00:39:05.540 I don't have time.
00:39:06.520 I don't have time
00:39:07.060 to get to this story today,
00:39:08.020 but it's a very,
00:39:08.740 very important story
00:39:09.540 of Joe Biden's
00:39:11.780 miserable retirement.
00:39:12.680 We'll get to that momentarily.
00:39:14.180 I don't know.
00:39:14.400 We'll get to it tomorrow,
00:39:15.120 I guess.
00:39:15.420 Because right now,
00:39:16.840 I want to do something
00:39:18.180 more important.
00:39:19.200 I want to bring on
00:39:20.280 my friend
00:39:21.020 and my new colleague
00:39:23.640 at The Daily Wire.
00:39:25.200 You know,
00:39:25.540 The Daily Wire launches
00:39:26.740 like one new show.
00:39:29.460 When I say new show,
00:39:30.060 we have lots of little shows.
00:39:31.020 I'm talking about
00:39:31.620 one new host
00:39:32.960 with a show
00:39:34.420 that's named
00:39:35.620 after the host.
00:39:36.880 We do that once
00:39:37.800 every like 14 years.
00:39:39.480 Okay?
00:39:39.880 We are real.
00:39:40.980 Some organizations
00:39:42.060 in the media
00:39:42.840 and in politics,
00:39:43.900 they hire a zillion people
00:39:45.340 every five seconds
00:39:46.160 and they fire a lot of people.
00:39:47.440 We don't really do that.
00:39:48.720 We're pretty slow
00:39:49.660 about the whole thing.
00:39:51.140 We have just brought on
00:39:52.080 the latest Daily Wire host.
00:39:54.340 That would be
00:39:54.900 Isabel Brown.
00:39:56.300 Isabel,
00:39:56.600 thank you for coming on the show
00:39:57.920 and joining Daily Wire.
00:39:59.440 Thanks for having me back, Michael.
00:40:00.900 I'm super excited to be here.
00:40:02.440 So,
00:40:03.720 how'd this all happen?
00:40:04.640 I want the tea.
00:40:05.660 Give me the tea.
00:40:06.360 I right now have
00:40:07.380 some fruity millennial seltzer
00:40:08.960 in my Tumblr,
00:40:10.060 but I want tea.
00:40:11.840 The deep lore
00:40:12.840 as Gen Z
00:40:13.680 would say.
00:40:14.440 You know,
00:40:14.780 it's been a long time coming
00:40:16.120 and this year
00:40:17.360 I've been really excited
00:40:18.380 about the idea
00:40:19.280 of taking my long-form content
00:40:21.200 and in particular my show
00:40:22.800 to a new level
00:40:24.180 because I've really felt
00:40:25.320 this impetus
00:40:26.380 to continue working
00:40:28.440 as hard as we can
00:40:29.640 on offense
00:40:30.260 to win the culture war
00:40:32.140 once and for all.
00:40:33.120 I think a lot of people
00:40:34.020 in the conservative movement
00:40:35.580 and on the political right
00:40:36.740 look at last November
00:40:37.800 as a resounding victory
00:40:39.240 and we can plant our flag
00:40:40.880 and say that's it
00:40:41.840 when it comes to winning
00:40:42.620 an election,
00:40:43.120 but in reality
00:40:44.400 we have so much more work
00:40:45.640 to do to change culture
00:40:47.080 from the inside out
00:40:48.200 to transform a generation
00:40:49.960 and really to create
00:40:50.880 a blueprint
00:40:51.280 for a new American dream
00:40:52.800 as young people
00:40:53.860 continue to come
00:40:54.660 into adulthood.
00:40:55.720 So I've been poking
00:40:56.760 around different opportunities
00:40:57.880 for how that might happen
00:40:59.220 and a total God thing
00:41:00.980 dropped in my lap
00:41:01.940 when two days
00:41:02.800 before I had
00:41:03.520 my beautiful new daughter
00:41:04.740 who's sleeping upstairs,
00:41:05.880 I got a phone call
00:41:07.380 from the new leadership team
00:41:08.800 over here at the Daily Wire
00:41:10.220 about joining forces
00:41:11.700 with the incredible
00:41:12.700 Daily Wire community
00:41:13.760 to take the Isabel Brown show
00:41:15.820 to a whole new audience.
00:41:17.160 So we are working
00:41:17.880 very hard behind the scenes.
00:41:19.660 I'm incredibly excited
00:41:20.740 about continuing
00:41:21.560 lots of my other advocacy
00:41:23.520 and activism work
00:41:24.660 elsewhere
00:41:25.480 and continuing
00:41:26.220 to do my independent content
00:41:27.440 on Instagram
00:41:28.020 and TikTok
00:41:28.440 and all of that,
00:41:29.320 but even more importantly,
00:41:30.800 investing everything
00:41:31.820 we've got into this show,
00:41:33.800 not just as an opportunity
00:41:35.040 to react to all
00:41:36.300 of the brokenness
00:41:37.120 and craziness of the left,
00:41:38.900 which is what we've
00:41:39.520 all successfully done
00:41:40.540 for the last several years
00:41:41.700 to change culture,
00:41:42.920 but now comes the harder part,
00:41:44.700 the boots on the ground,
00:41:45.760 building of something meaningful
00:41:47.520 that people can have hope
00:41:49.080 and optimism in again
00:41:50.440 for our future.
00:41:51.540 I'm going to spill
00:41:52.300 a little tea myself
00:41:53.100 because there have been
00:41:54.460 a lot of people
00:41:55.120 over the years
00:41:55.900 that want to come work
00:41:57.800 at Daily Wire,
00:41:58.920 which is great
00:41:59.580 and a lot of them
00:42:00.060 are terrific and everything,
00:42:00.980 but I've thought,
00:42:01.240 I don't know,
00:42:02.020 I'm not totally sure
00:42:03.440 if that's going to work.
00:42:04.120 And then there are people
00:42:05.460 that Daily Wire's
00:42:07.560 looked at maybe hiring
00:42:08.680 and I thought,
00:42:09.020 I don't know,
00:42:09.960 maybe this and that.
00:42:11.820 I have long been
00:42:13.220 very, very pro-Isabelle Brown
00:42:15.260 and I've been hoping
00:42:16.020 that this was going to happen
00:42:17.120 for a very long time.
00:42:17.940 You're a smart man.
00:42:18.420 So I'm just thrilled
00:42:19.900 that it finally happened.
00:42:20.940 I think it's great.
00:42:21.680 So before I let you go,
00:42:23.080 what's your view on things?
00:42:24.560 I mean,
00:42:24.920 is obviously
00:42:25.900 big political shift,
00:42:27.500 generational shift going on.
00:42:29.260 So what does that mean?
00:42:30.460 You say,
00:42:30.760 well,
00:42:30.920 we've got to figure out
00:42:31.420 what the new American dream is,
00:42:32.840 suggests the old conception
00:42:34.020 of the American dream
00:42:34.880 is fading away.
00:42:35.820 And every age
00:42:37.520 has new conceptions
00:42:38.540 of the country.
00:42:39.200 Nothing is new about that.
00:42:41.040 The newness
00:42:41.720 is nothing new.
00:42:42.700 So what's it look like?
00:42:43.600 I mean,
00:42:43.740 how's it changed?
00:42:44.540 I think the Daily Wire
00:42:45.260 started now.
00:42:46.480 It makes me feel
00:42:46.960 like an old man.
00:42:47.540 Now it started 10 years ago.
00:42:48.760 And I first got involved
00:42:51.420 in politics
00:42:52.100 at a serious level.
00:42:54.840 I don't know,
00:42:55.500 16, 17?
00:42:56.820 No.
00:42:58.840 Yeah,
00:42:59.260 something like that.
00:42:59.700 16, 17 years ago.
00:43:00.640 Anyway.
00:43:01.320 And it's shifted.
00:43:02.420 What the right means
00:43:03.140 has shifted.
00:43:03.680 What America understands
00:43:05.080 herself to mean
00:43:05.640 has shifted.
00:43:06.160 So where are we at now?
00:43:07.320 Where are we going?
00:43:08.500 Well, gosh,
00:43:08.980 the definition of even a woman
00:43:10.360 has shifted in that time.
00:43:11.920 So quite literally
00:43:12.560 everything is up for grabs.
00:43:14.080 But really what I'm seeing
00:43:15.500 is a generational shift
00:43:17.120 championed by Gen Z.
00:43:19.120 No offense to all
00:43:19.900 of the millennials,
00:43:20.820 yourself included,
00:43:21.920 listening to this, Michael.
00:43:23.280 But it's been fascinating
00:43:24.660 to see those of us
00:43:26.020 under the age
00:43:26.700 of about 28 or so
00:43:27.980 really pick up the torch
00:43:29.620 for what many are calling
00:43:30.700 a 1776-style
00:43:32.280 cultural revolution
00:43:33.920 to reclaim
00:43:35.000 the American dream
00:43:36.040 and the values
00:43:36.800 that built
00:43:37.200 the foundation
00:43:37.840 of Western civilization.
00:43:39.760 Now, that doesn't mean
00:43:40.480 go backwards.
00:43:41.340 And I think that's
00:43:41.900 a really important nuance here.
00:43:43.560 I think often conservatives
00:43:44.780 or the right
00:43:45.660 often yearn for the days
00:43:47.120 of the good old 1950s
00:43:49.200 when everything was picturesque
00:43:50.520 in a postcard.
00:43:51.300 And we have this sense
00:43:52.100 of nostalgia for that.
00:43:53.420 And those values
00:43:54.420 are important,
00:43:55.340 but we need to place them
00:43:56.840 in the 2020s
00:43:58.860 in a way that makes sense
00:43:59.860 going forward
00:44:00.460 into the future.
00:44:01.400 So what that looks like
00:44:02.740 is really a sense
00:44:03.500 of rebellion
00:44:04.180 led by the next generation
00:44:05.700 against the lies
00:44:06.880 of the left
00:44:07.500 that have championed
00:44:08.620 virtually every cultural
00:44:10.100 pillar in our country
00:44:11.620 throughout my lifetime,
00:44:12.880 be it the academic institutions
00:44:14.400 in our country,
00:44:15.520 the education system
00:44:16.540 across the board,
00:44:17.440 down to kindergarten
00:44:18.220 classrooms now,
00:44:19.620 the entertainment industry,
00:44:20.940 the media,
00:44:21.480 certainly politics,
00:44:22.200 and even in many aspects
00:44:23.420 the church
00:44:24.040 lying to us
00:44:25.360 about the things
00:44:26.100 that ultimately
00:44:26.740 built great civilizations.
00:44:28.340 So now you're seeing
00:44:29.400 young people
00:44:30.040 want to embrace
00:44:31.220 things like marriage.
00:44:32.480 Newsweek magazine
00:44:33.280 says 93%
00:44:34.620 of our generation
00:44:35.820 still wants to get married.
00:44:37.540 Young people are having
00:44:38.340 children earlier,
00:44:39.440 we're eating real food,
00:44:40.660 we're moving out
00:44:41.360 of big cities
00:44:42.080 and staking our own claim
00:44:43.460 on land.
00:44:44.720 Look what happened
00:44:45.260 just last week
00:44:45.960 with our inheritance
00:44:47.260 to our public lands
00:44:48.660 and how resoundingly
00:44:49.580 young people
00:44:50.340 yearn for things
00:44:51.440 like the National Park Service
00:44:52.780 and exploration
00:44:53.620 and rugged individualism,
00:44:55.720 these concepts
00:44:56.340 that have made
00:44:57.280 the United States
00:44:58.120 and Western society
00:44:59.140 at large so great,
00:45:00.380 we're reclaiming those
00:45:01.760 and putting them
00:45:02.460 into the future
00:45:03.260 in a way that we can be
00:45:04.800 really optimistic
00:45:05.460 and hopeful in again.
00:45:06.740 That's very exciting.
00:45:07.980 Also, one last thing,
00:45:09.280 not to spill in details
00:45:10.540 out of school,
00:45:11.160 I can't help but notice,
00:45:12.600 Isabel,
00:45:14.460 the Daily Wire
00:45:15.100 hires another Catholic.
00:45:16.380 It's weird at this point.
00:45:18.700 The company,
00:45:19.920 the first host,
00:45:20.840 the show that launched
00:45:22.800 the company,
00:45:23.620 so an Orthodox Jew,
00:45:25.420 the company has been run
00:45:26.480 by evangelical Protestants
00:45:29.140 basically the whole time
00:45:30.240 and they only hire Catholics.
00:45:32.480 It's unbelievable.
00:45:33.520 This is a conspiracy.
00:45:34.620 The Civil Rights Division
00:45:35.620 of the DOJ
00:45:36.300 needs to look into this
00:45:37.320 for too much
00:45:38.140 phylo-Catholic prejudice.
00:45:41.720 I don't know,
00:45:41.860 it's great.
00:45:42.360 Is it a conspiracy, Michael,
00:45:43.740 or is it indicative
00:45:44.600 of the Catholic revival
00:45:45.980 we're seeing in culture?
00:45:47.260 I don't know.
00:45:47.620 I think you're right.
00:45:48.080 If you look at anti-Catholic
00:45:49.840 19th century cartoons,
00:45:52.140 political cartoons,
00:45:52.740 it's just, you know,
00:45:53.600 the Pope of Rome
00:45:54.620 spreading his tentacles
00:45:56.060 all over America.
00:45:58.540 Guilty as charged.
00:45:59.580 That's what I say.
00:46:00.120 Okay, you're going to stick around
00:46:01.100 for Tee Hee Hee Tuesday.
