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? 1.00

00:09:58.040 Maybe it was Queen Elizabeth. 0.66

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 1.00

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. 1.00

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 0.83

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. 0.95

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 0.99

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. 0.90

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, 0.84

00:21:44.900 he did something

00:21:46.120 that was deviant

00:21:46.860 and perverted. 0.56

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 0.97

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. 1.00

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 0.86

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? 0.86

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. 0.99

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, 1.00

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. 0.97

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. 0.94

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, 0.80

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. 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.98

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 1.00

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.
