Summary

When Joe Biden invited countless unaccompanied foreign kids into the country, and paired them up with sponsors, he set up a hotline for the kids to report issues, danger, abuse, etc. We are just learning now that 65,000 of those calls by the kids who were potentially being abused went completely unanswered.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Claudia was leaving for her pickleball tournament.
00:00:02.160 I've been visualizing my match all week.
00:00:04.700 She was so focused on visualizing that she didn't see the column behind her car on her backhand side.
00:00:10.680 Good thing Claudia's with Intact, the insurer with the largest network of auto service centers in the country.
00:00:16.400 Everything was taken care of under one roof, and she was on her way in a rental car in no time.
00:00:20.840 I made it to my tournament and lost in the first round.
00:00:24.300 But you got there on time.
00:00:26.160 Intact Insurance, your auto service ace.
00:00:28.440 Certain conditions apply.
00:00:30.000 We've been talking a lot about government scandals the past few weeks, new revelations on the Russia collusion hoax, the constantly evolving Epstein story, even stock trading shenanigans, which we'll get to momentarily.
00:00:42.320 But there is one government scandal that you likely have not heard about, and it is probably the most viscerally egregious of all of them.
00:00:50.560 When Joe Biden invited countless unaccompanied foreign kids into the country and paired them up with sponsors, he set up a hotline for the kids to report issues, danger, abuse, etc.
00:01:04.340 We are just learning now that 65,000 of those calls by the kids who were potentially being abused, who we kind of just lost, went completely unanswered.
00:01:20.340 I'm Michael Knowles.
00:01:21.100 This is the Michael Knowles Show.
00:01:40.700 Welcome back to the show.
00:01:42.400 Speaking of kids stuff, there's a new report out.
00:01:44.760 Apparently, a bunch of adults are now going to summer camp.
00:01:50.500 You thought the Disney adults were bad.
00:01:52.500 No, no.
00:01:53.080 There are now adults who sign up to go canoeing and drinking Kool-Aid and splashing around.
00:01:59.820 They go to summer camp.
00:02:00.800 We'll get to what that means.
00:02:02.040 Am I just being a curmudgeon in my reaction to that?
00:02:04.680 Maybe I am.
00:02:05.220 Maybe that's a good thing.
00:02:06.240 Before we get to anything, I want to tell you about Birch Gold.
00:02:08.080 Text Knowles, K-N-W-L-E-S, to 98-9898.
00:02:12.700 The government is doing a lot of good stuff, despite the perennial scandals of all governments.
00:02:17.680 The government is doing a lot of good stuff.
00:02:19.220 You know, Trump is making America great again, dealing very strongly with the U.S. economy, getting good trade deals.
00:02:24.680 What about your personal finances?
00:02:26.400 You need to handle that.
00:02:27.740 That is why tens of thousands of Americans are buying gold now from Birch Gold.
00:02:31.280 Here are the facts.
00:02:31.900 In the past 12 months, the value of gold has increased by 40%.
00:02:35.260 Central banks continue to bolster demand for gold by buying in record quantities.
00:02:39.320 And global instability and tension is the highest in decades.
00:02:41.940 But you can find peace of mind in gold.
00:02:44.160 Birch Gold makes it extremely easy to convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax-sheltered IRA in physical gold.
00:02:50.340 Or just buy some to store at home.
00:02:52.540 Text my name, Knowles, K-N-W-L-E-S, to 98-9898.
00:02:55.480 Birch Gold will send you a free info kit on gold.
00:02:57.640 No obligation.
00:02:58.700 Only useful information.
00:03:00.000 With an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau.
00:03:02.240 Tens of thousands of happy customers.
00:03:03.680 It is time for you to take control of your savings today.
00:03:07.020 You know I'm a little bit of a gold bug.
00:03:08.620 I've got a decent part of my portfolio in gold.
00:03:11.500 That's always a great, great thing.
00:03:13.480 But especially in recent years, I'm very happy about it.
00:03:15.780 You should go check it out.
00:03:17.220 Text the word Knowles, K-N-W-L-E-S, to 98-9898.
00:03:21.840 I do not want this scandal to disappear.
00:03:24.560 There are a lot of government scandals right now.
00:03:26.780 Some are really prominent.
00:03:28.240 We've been talking about it for years, like the Epstein scandal.
00:03:30.180 Some are old, and they're coming back again, like the Russia hoax scandal, which is a scandal reacting to another scandal.
00:03:38.280 But one of them, if you cut through the miasma of scandal, one of them seems really, really viscerally egregious, and very few people are talking about it.
00:03:48.780 Here is Congressman Eli Crane grilling someone, giving testimony on what this looks like.
00:03:57.140 So you're telling this committee that the Biden administration, while they were letting all of these unaccompanied minors into the country,
00:04:05.400 and as we've talked about today, they weren't keeping track of them, they issued these kids a hotline that they could call
00:04:13.080 if they had trouble with the sponsor family that they were put with.
00:04:18.780 And you're saying that 65,000 calls to this hotline designated to protect these kids went unanswered?
00:04:27.340 Is that what you're telling this committee?
00:04:29.100 Yes, sir.
00:04:29.820 Wow, that is unbelievable. Unbelievable.
00:04:35.120 Do you know how many staffers the administration assigned to answering these phones and helping these kids?
00:04:44.460 One.
00:04:45.720 One staffer?
00:04:48.340 Any idea how many hours a day this staffer was working?
00:04:53.500 No.
00:04:54.140 Maybe that's why there were 65,000 calls that weren't answered from these little kids, huh?
00:05:02.600 Unbelievable.
00:05:04.140 Okay, so what happened?
00:05:07.400 Joe Biden said, hey, come on over the border.
00:05:11.140 Obama said it too.
00:05:12.140 Come on over the border.
00:05:13.200 Come on.
00:05:13.740 And then some of the people who came over the border were not merely the economic migrants,
00:05:18.400 the fighting age men who come over here unvetted to get jobs or whatever.
00:05:22.320 However, some of them were kids, unaccompanied kids.
00:05:25.060 Now, we've already known for 15 years that 60 to 80 percent of women and girls who cross the border illegally are raped or sexually assaulted along the way.
00:05:32.480 We already know that.
00:05:33.100 That's before they even really make it into the country.
00:05:36.060 But then you got all these kids who come over here.
00:05:38.360 They're not with their parents.
00:05:41.300 They're with some adult that they don't really know.
00:05:43.460 They're with some criminal coyote or they're just alone.
00:05:45.940 And then the Biden administration, rather than discouraging this from happening and saying, you got to go back, you got to go to your parents, you can't, we're not going to let the illegals in.
00:05:55.900 Biden creates an incentive for more and more parents to send kids unaccompanied into the country.
00:06:00.340 And then Biden matches them up with a sponsor.
00:06:03.420 But, you know, you give a young girl to a sponsor family, you don't know what could possibly happen.
00:06:10.220 So you say, okay, we're going to set up a hotline if you have any problems with your sponsor family, if there's any abuse, if there's any neglect, if there's any, if there are any crimes being committed, you call this number.
00:06:22.000 And they did.
00:06:25.240 The kids called the number.
00:06:28.340 Well, they called the number many more times than that.
00:06:30.800 But 65,000 of the times they called the number, the calls were not answered.
00:06:37.960 Because Biden had one person working the phones for all of the countless millions of illegal aliens coming to the country.
00:06:47.800 So we don't know what happened.
00:06:49.020 I mentioned this story, not because Joe Biden is going to be held to account, not because Biden era officials are going to be held to account.
00:06:55.740 We'll get to that more in some of the other scandals, the Russia hoax scandal, all the rest.
00:06:58.920 None of these people are going to be held to account.
00:07:02.220 But I at least want to hold to account the people who voted for Biden.
00:07:06.160 And I at least want to hold to account the people who complain about Trump's immigration policy.
00:07:11.040 And I especially want to hold to account the people who preen from a moral high horse about how awful the conservative Republicans are for wanting to close the border.
00:07:20.980 Because if you supported Joe Biden's immigration policy, you are supporting the abuse, neglect, and rape of children.
00:07:32.440 Full stop.
00:07:33.240 You're not supporting this in some kind of indirect way.
00:07:37.480 Well, this thing led to another thing, led to another, to an unintended consequence, to an unforeseen event.
00:07:42.640 And then some child was abused.
00:07:44.700 You are directly responsible for the abuse, neglect, and sexual assault of children.
00:07:52.680 And the neglect of the reporting of those kinds of abuses.
00:07:56.500 Because we have known.
00:07:58.840 I remember 2008, 2009, maybe even earlier than that, there was a study from Fusion Amnesty International reported in the Huffington Post.
00:08:06.840 These are left-wing outlets that said 60, 80% of women and girls who cross the border illegally are sexually assaulted on the way.
00:08:12.320 If you encourage an intrinsically unjust, immoral migration system that neglects immigration law, that empowers coyotes, that violates national sovereignty, things that are already wrong intrinsically.
00:08:26.500 If you are doing that, you are inevitably supporting 60, 80% of those women and girls being raped along the way.
00:08:35.400 You are also, we now know, supporting the abuse and neglect and neglect of the abuse of children to the tune of 65,000 calls go unanswered.
00:08:46.040 I bring it all up to say you need to reconsider your moral priors.
00:08:50.800 Because the supposedly moral open borders policy that the left has been promoting for decades is this.
00:09:00.400 Is this.
00:09:01.880 Is empowering face-tattooed Satan-worshipping gangsters.
00:09:05.160 Is ignoring federal law.
00:09:07.620 Is undermining American democracy, our sacred democracy, which passed the laws for our immigration regime.
00:09:13.160 Is 65,000 calls from kids who are potentially being terrorized or otherwise abused going unanswered.
00:09:22.920 That's what it is.
00:09:25.280 I'm not saying that the Republican, conservative, MAGA, Trump immigration policy is perfect.
00:09:31.800 There's no such thing as a perfect policy in a fallen world, in a real political society.
00:09:35.920 But if you want to start talking about the morality of immigration, you have the Trump policy, which says close the border, don't put kids in these bad situations, don't empower some of the worst people on earth at the border, don't, don't, don't, don't.
00:09:51.100 And do follow our laws.
00:09:53.260 And you got the liberal immigration policy, it's not even close.
00:09:56.720 It's not, if you have two functioning brain cells and your mind hasn't been so darkened by sin that you think up is down and left is right.
00:10:06.240 The Trump policy is the moral one.
00:10:08.260 The liberal policy, the Biden policy is profoundly immoral in ways that should inspire your soul to absolute horror.
00:10:16.780 Okay.
00:10:18.180 Speaking of government scandals.
00:10:20.640 A less viscerally repellent scandal, but, but still a very serious one.
00:10:26.720 And actually downright amusing to watch the government officials try to squirm out of it, is that members of Congress are outperforming the top hedge funds in the country when it comes to their investment portfolios.
00:10:38.800 Isn't that a little strange?
00:10:40.460 All right.
00:10:40.700 There are plenty of very intelligent people in the House and in the Senate.
00:10:45.060 In fact, the senator who is bringing the scandal to light, Josh Hawley, very intelligent guy.
00:10:51.880 You can get some other members.
00:10:53.100 Ted Cruz, extremely intelligent guy.
00:10:55.980 There are some, but I would say on average, if you, maybe you look at the median member of Congress or even the Senate, the IQ, not the highest.
00:11:06.700 And yet, they're outperforming some of the top hedge funds.
00:11:11.240 This was a report.
00:11:12.880 Nancy Pelosi.
00:11:14.500 This is being reported by Yahoo Finance.
00:11:16.680 Nancy Pelosi outperformed nearly every hedge fund in 2024, even beating the infamous inverse Kramer stock tracker.
00:11:23.680 It's pretty amazing.
00:11:24.920 Not saying Nancy Pelosi is a dummy, but has she beaten all the biggest hedge funds?
00:11:29.220 Because they have insider information.
00:11:32.720 So Josh Hawley, great Republican senator, is pushing a bill that was initially called the Pelosi Act.
00:11:39.120 I forget what the acronym stood for, but it was something to the effect of putting egregious legislators on.
00:11:48.680 I don't know.
00:11:49.060 I'm just making up the acronym now.
00:11:50.180 But it was a way to spell out, hey, stop these lawmakers from using insider information to make a bunch of money in their stock portfolio.
00:11:57.840 Josh Hawley trying to move the ball down the field to stop this abuse from happening.
00:12:02.660 We have an opportunity here today to do something that the public has wanted us to do for decades,
00:12:10.200 and that is to ban members of Congress from profiting on information that, frankly, only members of Congress have in the buying and selling of stock.
00:12:18.760 86% of Americans say that members of Congress should not be able to buy and sell shares of stock, individual stock, while they are members of this body.
00:12:29.100 And they are absolutely correct.
00:12:30.480 And the reason is, you can see it, there was just another ethics referral in the House last week.
00:12:35.380 We've seen the former Speaker of the House make millions of dollars in profits.
00:12:39.160 We've seen members of both parties, I'm sad to say, be investigated for their stock trades.
00:12:45.420 And the reason for all of this is, is that, quite frankly, members of this body are privy to information that the normal person just is not.
00:12:51.620 Now, is that insider trading?
00:12:53.260 It is not under the laws.
00:12:55.240 Sometimes people say, well, we already have insider trading laws.
00:12:57.240 We don't need a stock ban.
00:12:58.140 Well, the information that members of Congress are privy to is technically not covered by the insider trading laws.
00:13:03.900 But nobody really believes that the information that we get isn't valuable.
00:13:08.100 It is quite valuable, which is why back during COVID, you saw members of Congress of both parties engage in a flurry of stock trading right after they were getting COVID briefings.
00:13:18.960 Were members of the public getting those briefings?
00:13:20.680 They were not.
00:13:21.420 They're not.
00:13:22.260 And so you say, well, we have laws against insider trading.
00:13:24.440 Yeah, we do.
00:13:25.240 They just don't apply to members of Congress.
00:13:26.900 And members of Congress are getting these briefings on things that the government of the United States, the world imperial government, is doing before ordinary retail investors or anyone, even the hedge funds, find out about it.
00:13:40.260 And then the individual members of Congress are calling up their investment advisors and saying, hey, hey, buy, buy, buy, sell, sell, sell.
00:13:47.520 And then you're seeing Nancy Pelosi outperform everybody else.
00:13:52.120 So Hawley says, look, this is obviously corrupt.
00:13:55.260 This is wrong.
00:13:56.000 And we shouldn't be able to do it.
00:13:57.620 Now, you would imagine Hawley's a Republican.
00:14:00.260 All the Republicans would be on his side.
00:14:02.280 Maybe all the Democrats would be on the other side.
00:14:03.980 That's actually not what happened.
00:14:06.440 Everybody was a little bit worried about this.
00:14:08.600 The best investor in Congress is Nancy Pelosi, top Democrat.
00:14:14.120 But actually, just about all the Republicans on this panel were opposed to it.
00:14:19.600 Here is Senator Jim Lankford.
00:14:21.380 Hold on.
00:14:21.900 Before we get to Senator Lankford's argument against it, I want to tell you about a great investment you can make to Good Ranchers.

00:14:32.520 You know you love firing up the grill with family and friends.
00:14:35.680 But what you might not know is that over 85% of grass-fed beef in U.S. stores is actually imported.
00:14:41.360 That means it could be from anywhere with questionable safety standards.
00:14:44.400 Hidden additives don't do it.
00:14:46.320 That's one of the reasons you should switch to Good Ranchers for all the summer grilling.
00:14:49.580 The main reason is the meat is better than any meat you're going to get anywhere else.
00:14:53.240 The second reason is the prices are better than you're going to get anywhere else.
00:14:57.140 The third reason is that these people support you and what you believe, and they support America.
00:15:01.160 The fourth reason is you don't need to worry about that imported stuff.
00:15:05.020 Every single cut beef, chicken, pork, 100% American sourced, born, raised right here on local family farms.

00:15:20.380 The other night, sweet little Alisa took some of the Wagyu burgers and turned them into—
00:15:24.920 The burgers are great on their own, but she turned them into these interesting little kebab kind of things.
00:15:28.480 You can do a lot with it.

00:15:55.720 Also, folks, speaking about really good stuff coming up, when you're sitting there eating that juicy steak, you should get ready to watch the Vatican files.
00:16:05.240 I have this great new documentary out, The Pope and the Fuhrer.
00:16:09.260 It's all about the secret Vatican archive and World War II, one of the most maligned men in history, Pope Pius XII.
00:16:19.220 We are Pope Pius XII lovers and respecters here.
00:16:22.280 He has been so, so slandered by enemies of the church, and we got the goods.
00:16:26.920 So make sure you set your clocks.
00:16:29.420 The Pope and the Fuhrer, hosted by your favorite podcaster.
00:16:32.880 Josh Hawley says members of Congress need to stop trading stocks individually while they're serving the body.
00:16:38.900 They have insider information.
00:16:39.920 It's not fair.
00:16:41.680 Republican Senator Jim Langford pushes back.
00:16:45.200 For those who know ahead of time that they're going to be joining this body, they can no longer use qualified blind trusts.
00:16:50.740 And the reason for that is, as you know, the rules on qualified blind trusts are not airtight.
00:16:55.900 They're actually very loose.
00:16:57.620 It is very difficult to police.
00:17:00.040 You don't police them in the Ethics Committee.
00:17:01.780 Well, the Ethics Committee, I thank you for mentioning that, Ethics Committee does police that.
00:17:04.600 So thanks for telling me what I don't do.
00:17:06.260 We do police that, but...
00:17:07.580 You do not police the structure of the blind trust.
00:17:10.800 We do, actually.
00:17:11.960 Every single blind trust that's actually put in has to be approved.
00:17:14.780 And they have to, and so before, you police then the buying and the selling and the communication back and forth between members?
00:17:20.020 We do police the communication between the members and the individuals of the blind trust.
00:17:23.920 That's correct.
00:17:24.820 And so you think that that's an effective way.
00:17:27.020 You're saying you think we need no changes now.
00:17:28.940 You think that effectively accounts for any sort of...
00:17:32.020 Again, this suddenly sounds like it's personal.
00:17:33.800 You're telling me what I don't do.
00:17:35.160 No, I'm just asking you a question.
00:17:36.720 Because what we've found over and over is when members of Congress have been investigated for securities violations,
00:17:43.100 they have said over and over, oh, I had a trust.
00:17:47.220 So you notice here, Jim Lankford, and he said, oh, I'm the head of the Ethics Committee, and I investigate these things.
00:17:53.280 And Hawley's saying, well, you're not doing a good job investigating them.
00:17:55.660 And so this is a Republican on Republican fight.
00:17:59.400 And Lankford is raising a serious objection, which is, well, hold on.
00:18:02.920 You already have businessmen who come in, and they have their business interests, and when they become senators, they put them into a blind trust.
00:18:12.060 So they're not actively running the business based on this information.
00:18:15.620 But what are you going to do?
00:18:16.860 You're going to tell them to give away all their money to become a U.S. senator?
00:18:18.880 And Hawley says, well, the blind trusts aren't airtight, so they can still engage in corrupt practices.
00:18:25.200 And Lankford says, well, I'm making sure they don't.
00:18:27.320 And Hawley says, well, you're not doing a good enough job.
00:18:30.360 So who's right here?
00:18:32.260 I think Lankford's objection actually is fair.
00:18:35.680 But Hawley is still right on the point, which is there is a lot of corruption in these members of Congress.
00:18:40.900 So before we get to the right solution, because I have probably the least popular solution of all, but it's the correct one, where does President Trump stand on this?
00:18:49.260 He is the richest president in American history.
00:18:53.140 He has a lot of business interests.
00:18:55.700 He entered into the government.
00:18:57.340 Is he on the pro-business side, let the members just keep running their stuff and their portfolios?
00:19:02.160 Or is he on the Hawley side that we've got to root at corruption in government?
00:19:05.940 Well, I like it conceptually.
00:19:15.540 I don't know about it, but I like it conceptually.
00:19:18.040 And, you know, Nancy Pelosi became rich by having inside information.
00:19:23.880 She made a fortune with her husband.
00:19:25.980 And I think that's disgraceful.
00:19:28.180 So in that sense, I'd like it.
00:19:29.740 But I'd have to really see the I'd have, you know, I studied these things very carefully and this just happened.
00:19:34.160 And so I'll take a look at it.
00:19:36.180 But conceptually, I like it.
00:19:38.280 And what I do think is Nancy Pelosi should be investigated because what she has the highest return of anybody practically in the history of Wall Street, save a few.
00:19:51.320 And how did that happen?
00:19:53.640 It happened by she knows exactly what's going to happen, what's going to be announced.
00:19:57.040 She buys stock and then the stock goes up after the announcement's made.
00:20:00.400 So once again, Trump demonstrating a very good political gut and a much better political gut here than most of the Republican senators, with the exception, I guess, of Josh Hawley.
00:20:11.500 Trump, he said, what do you think about this?
00:20:13.660 This corrupt politicians benefiting off Insider Information Act.
00:20:16.220 And he says, well, who is this scandal targeting?
00:20:21.440 Mostly Democrats.
00:20:22.820 Mostly Pelosi, actually.
00:20:24.460 Pelosi is the most egregious violator of this kind of ethical norm.
00:20:28.840 Okay, yeah, I'm for reforming that conceptually.
00:20:32.020 I got to look into it.
00:20:32.980 The devil's in the details.
00:20:34.580 But Trump is saying, look, I don't need to profit off of Insider Information as a member of the government.
00:20:40.780 Trump was very, very rich before 2016.
00:20:44.820 And he remained rich, even though the Democrats tried to destroy his net worth.
00:20:47.920 He remained rich after he left the White House.
00:20:50.760 And he remained rich when he reentered the White House again.
00:20:53.340 And I bet he's going to be rich when he leaves the White House.
00:20:54.980 He does not, unlike Nancy Pelosi, who spent her entire career in government.
00:20:58.740 It's not that strange that Trump is rich.
00:21:00.620 He made all of his money in the private sector.
00:21:03.600 Nancy Pelosi has been in government for her whole life.
00:21:05.500 How is Nancy Pelosi so rich?
00:21:06.980 She's been making her money based on being in the government.
00:21:12.660 So it's the right thing to do to root out the corruption.
00:21:17.640 But what is the solution here?
00:21:19.380 My solution?
00:21:20.260 Oh, man, people are going to hate this.
00:21:22.500 You're going to hate this.
00:21:23.560 I'm just warning you.
00:21:24.960 Before you get your fingers ready to write in the comments, I'm just warning you.
00:21:28.500 You're going to hate my solution, but I'm right.
00:21:31.740 The solution is we need to pay members of Congress more money.
00:21:34.700 Don't shoot me.
00:21:35.400 Don't.
00:21:35.740 Stop.
00:21:36.040 Hey, no, put the gun down.
00:21:37.720 Put the gun down.
00:21:40.320 The solution is we need to pay members of Congress more money.
00:21:43.540 That's why.
00:21:44.980 That's why they're doing this.
00:21:45.920 Because the members of Congress make, what, $174,000 a year?
00:21:49.160 That's a lot of money.
00:21:50.060 That's a lot of money.
00:21:50.920 But it's very expensive to be a congressman.
00:21:52.820 You have to maintain two residences.
00:21:55.080 You have to travel back and forth.
00:21:56.360 Now, a lot of travel expenses are covered by the government.
00:21:59.080 So it's not a big deal.
00:22:00.220 And you can use some of your campaign money.
00:22:01.620 I know.
00:22:02.220 I know all of their responses to this point.
00:22:04.500 But to Jim Langford's point, a lot of these members could, in fact, make a lot more money
00:22:12.060 in the private sector.
00:22:12.840 At least the ones that you want there.
00:22:13.880 The ones who are really good at business.
00:22:15.240 The Donald Trumps of the world could make a lot more money in the private sector.
00:22:18.840 And so if you're telling them they can't even maintain their own businesses in a blind
00:22:22.220 trust, you're just saying, well, there's just no way for me to make any money.
00:22:26.400 Why would I do this?
00:22:27.200 Why would I expose myself to all of this liability?
00:22:30.440 I'm going to stay out of the government.
00:22:31.520 Then you're going to fill the government up with AOCs.
00:22:33.120 And then your government's going to fall to pot.
00:22:36.360 Back when the Congress was founded, back when the U.S. government was founded, our present
00:22:40.520 U.S. government, 1789, Congress was paid $6 per day.
00:22:46.220 So in today's money, that's about $220 per day.
00:22:49.860 Members of Congress were paid that to go serve in Congress.
00:22:51.880 And obviously, you didn't serve all year long.
00:22:54.280 Then in 1815, they said, all right, we're going to bump the pay to an annual salary and
00:22:57.860 we're going to give people $1,500.
00:22:59.660 That is roughly $31,000 in today's money.
00:23:03.840 Not a lot of money.
00:23:05.240 So now you're saying, well, hold on, Michael.
00:23:06.800 They went from $6 a day, $220 a day in today's money, to the equivalent of $31,000 per year
00:23:13.040 in today's money, to now they're making $174,000.
00:23:16.180 So why are you telling me they need to make even more money than that?
00:23:18.920 Because back in the old days, members of Congress and U.S. senators were extremely wealthy landowners
00:23:26.300 generally.
00:23:27.800 So they were the equivalent of aristocrats in America.
00:23:32.020 America has always had a more democratic, egalitarian kind of economy, going back to colonial
00:23:36.700 times, much more so than in England or the rest of the old world.
00:23:39.940 But these guys were landed gentry, okay?
00:23:44.200 So if you want a government of rich landed gentry, where you have a much more aristocratic
00:23:50.280 form of government, which we had in this country until the 19th and especially 20th centuries,
00:23:54.560 okay, then you don't need to pay the members of Congress all that much and that's fine.
00:23:58.160 But if we're going to have an increasingly democratic kind of country, where your regular
00:24:02.820 Joe is going to become a congressman or even a U.S. senator, we need to pay them more.
00:24:07.600 Because they don't have massive fields.
00:24:11.220 They don't have giant plantations and estates, staffed sometimes by slave labor.
00:24:16.660 They don't have those things, okay?
00:24:19.020 So if you want to incentivize getting good people into Congress, you have to pay them
00:24:26.020 a very, very decent wage.
00:24:29.820 $174,000 is a lot of money.
00:24:31.460 But relative to that job is not enough.
00:24:35.620 And the proof of that is all of the corruption.
00:24:37.640 I know everyone's going to hate me for saying it, but Hawley is right.
00:24:41.980 Jim Langford's objections are reasonable.
00:24:45.040 Donald Trump is right.
00:24:47.200 And the solution to the corruption is paying Congress more money.
00:24:51.020 All right, listen.
00:24:52.440 You don't tune in here because I'm going to flatter you by giving you just absolute bottom
00:24:56.800 of the barrel, lowest common denominator, red meat.
00:24:59.980 I am giving you, gentlemen and ladies, my judgment.
00:25:03.920 And in this case, my judgment may be difficult to hear, but it's correct.
00:25:08.260 Okay, now there is something really, really pathetic, and I am feeling very judgmental over
00:25:13.180 it.
00:25:13.440 And that would be the surge of adults going to summer camp.
00:25:17.240 Before we get to that, speaking of bizarre activities that adults should not be engaged in,
00:25:22.080 I recently sat down with one of P. Diddy's escorts.
00:25:27.320 You know, often in high-profile cases and conspiracies, all we get are a few redacted
00:25:32.700 court documents and then a litany of theories from sources close to the story that never
00:25:36.960 pan out.
00:25:38.240 Sometimes, however, you sit down face-to-face with someone who is actually there, intimately
00:25:41.500 involved in all of these things.
00:25:43.760 Like in the latest episode of Michael Land, where I sit down with a former P. Diddy escort
00:25:47.220 who was named in his trial, the stories will blow you away.
00:25:50.260 Check out this teaser.
00:25:52.080 So I don't know who I'm seeing, and so I show up to the address, I go up to the door,
00:25:56.820 knock, and she opens the door.
00:25:58.360 So you say it's very performative.
00:25:59.660 She's like, okay, sit there.
00:26:00.920 She puts the towel down.
00:26:01.920 He's like, hey, just don't pour the baby oil all over me.
00:26:04.960 I see like a little slit in the room.
00:26:07.600 There were times in the sessions where I saw that demon, the demon that she talked about.
00:26:13.420 Personal demon, you know, these are the demons that are reflecting me, or Diddy.
00:26:17.700 Yeah, Diddy.
00:26:18.480 You actually did this stuff.
00:26:19.860 Your name and your picture were revealed in court.
00:26:22.280 Revealed in court, and then it started to go mainstream when 50 posted that picture.
00:26:26.040 So this guy is a sex-crazed animal.
00:26:30.660 She was under his control.
00:26:32.840 Because there's video of him beating her in a hallway.
00:26:35.220 I was supposed to be there that night.
00:26:39.020 I was supposed to.

00:26:55.400 Adults are going to summer camp.
00:27:01.060 Where is it?
00:27:02.020 Where's the...
00:27:02.580 Here we go.
00:27:03.120 CBS Mornings is reporting.
00:27:07.340 Adult summer camps see surge of interest as people seek community and nostalgia.
00:27:14.680 Summer camp isn't only for kids.
00:27:17.560 Yelp reports a nearly 350% increase in searches for adult summer camps this year as people search for community and nostalgia.
00:27:26.520 What's really cool, says one of the adult campers, is all the activities are planned for you.
00:27:34.480 At Club Getaway in Kent, Connecticut, campers 21 and older come together every weekend to meet new friends and be a kid again.
00:27:42.700 I did overnight camps when I was younger, and I remember going out on the water, going rock climbing.
00:27:49.360 Why not do that with some alcohol?
00:27:53.060 Says, I'm not even going to name these people.
00:27:55.380 It's so humiliating.
00:27:56.720 I know they're named in the CBS piece.
00:27:58.240 I'm humiliated for them.
00:27:59.460 I don't want to name them.
00:28:01.880 Open to children during the week.
00:28:04.080 Club Getaway is welcoming adults.
00:28:09.660 Oh, boy.
00:28:10.640 When I read this, I had an immediate visceral reaction of nausea.
00:28:16.080 And I called out to Elisa.
00:28:17.340 I said, girl.
00:28:18.740 She said, yeah, man.
00:28:20.140 I said, am I being too curmudgeonly?
00:28:24.200 Adults are going to summer camp.
00:28:26.180 What's that, man?
00:28:27.180 I said, she was in the other room.
00:28:28.560 I said, adults are going to summer camp.
00:28:33.140 What do you mean they're going to summer camp?
00:28:34.560 They're going to where the kids go during the week, and then adults go on the weekend.
00:28:39.320 Oh, my goodness.
00:28:41.820 That's bad, right?
00:28:42.680 That's bad.
00:28:45.140 It's okay to be repulsed by that, right?
00:28:47.240 Yeah, it's repulsive.
00:28:48.560 It is.
00:28:49.660 Why is it repulsive?
00:28:51.020 Am I just being a curmudgeon?
00:28:53.380 No.
00:28:54.900 It's repulsive because, to quote the apostle in 1 Corinthians,
00:28:59.160 When I was a child, I spoke like a child.
00:29:04.500 I thought like a child.
00:29:06.360 I reasoned like a child.
00:29:08.320 When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.
00:29:11.660 Now, this, coming from the same book, the Bible, maybe you've heard of it,
00:29:19.140 the same book that tells us that we need to be like children to enter the kingdom of heaven.
00:29:24.480 Yes.
00:29:25.140 You need to be childlike, not childish.
00:29:28.540 When you live your life in your proper station, in your proper habits, doing the things you're
00:29:34.800 supposed to do, with awe, with wonder, with humility, recognizing, being well aware of
00:29:41.180 your own limits, that's childlike.
00:29:43.840 That's good.
00:29:44.380 You need to have that.
00:29:45.120 But when you try to crawl back up into the womb, when you're a 30-year-old adult who wants
00:29:54.000 to shirk responsibilities and just stick your thumb in your mouth and pretend you're a child
00:29:58.340 again, that's childish, and that's bad.
00:30:03.320 There's the N-word here.
00:30:04.560 You know, you saw the N-word in the headline of this piece, that awful, awful N-word, nostalgia.
00:30:10.840 You don't, we don't want nostalgia.
00:30:11.980 Sometimes conservatives are a little guilty of nostalgia.
00:30:15.120 We fetishize the past as though it were this halcyon, Edenic kind of period.
00:30:19.540 The only Edenic period of the past was in the Garden of Eden.
00:30:22.060 The rest of them are fallen and they have problems.
00:30:25.320 My priest friend, Father George Rutler, says, nostalgia is history after a few drinks.
00:30:30.600 You should not be doing this.
00:30:33.100 This is an extreme version of the Disney adults.
00:30:35.880 Now, look, there are adults who can go to Disney.
00:30:38.320 You got to go with kids.
00:30:40.140 You got to go, I'm sorry.
00:30:41.040 I know, this is, this is the Tough Love episode today.
00:30:43.760 It's Thursday, we're past Tump Day, we're almost at the weekend, and I feel like I got
00:30:47.360 to give you a little Tough Love here.
00:30:49.340 Not just on congressman's salaries, but on, it's weird.
00:30:54.900 When you're an adult, it's weird for you to go alone.
00:30:58.660 You can go with your kids, you can go with your nieces and nephews, you can go with your
00:31:01.520 godchildren, you can go with your, if you're a teacher, you go with your students.
00:31:04.400 You can go do these things, but it's, they're not for you anymore.
00:31:09.820 There are other things for you.
00:31:11.640 Bars are for you.
00:31:13.680 Civic associations are for you.
00:31:16.300 HOA meetings are for you.
00:31:17.700 Those things aren't for kids.
00:31:20.400 Disney World and summer camp, that's for kids.
00:31:23.800 And the longing to get back to that, the, the, is somewhat natural.
00:31:31.660 You know, we all kind of long to be kids again when everything was in it.
00:31:34.100 But if you actually indulge that kind of longing, you're just going to die.
00:31:38.300 It just turns you, your life, your whole civilization into a sterile dead end.
00:31:45.760 Okay, this is not good.
00:31:48.580 You need to grow up.
00:31:50.180 People say that sometimes in a school that you need to grow up, mister, and just do all
00:31:55.360 these unpleasant things and stop doing fun things.
00:31:58.440 That's not what you have to grow up means.
00:32:00.700 You have to grow up means you have to recognize that a life has a scope and you begin a certain
00:32:06.840 way and then you develop a certain way and then you die.
00:32:09.180 And you, if you want to thrive in that scope, we're all heading to the same place.
00:32:13.620 You ultimately, we might be heading to different places, but in this world, we're heading to
00:32:16.780 the same place.
00:32:17.340 You need to do that which is appropriate to your station in life.
00:32:21.340 And if you, if you, if you do things that are appropriate to one station in life, but
00:32:28.020 not to another, the things that would have made you happy when they were appropriate
00:32:32.060 will make you sad.
00:32:33.780 And they'll be weird.
00:32:35.280 And they'll be out of place.
00:32:36.240 And they'll be unfulfilling.
00:32:37.440 And you need to grow, you need to grow up because growing up is good.
00:32:41.180 And in fact, the only way that you will really be happy, that you will be able to flourish
00:32:46.320 in a natural sense or even a supernatural sense is if you allow yourself to grow up.
00:32:53.280 If you try to stay stuck forever in some eternal, unchanging circumstances, this is a temptation
00:32:59.620 of liberalism and modernity, which tries to abstract us out of time and space.
00:33:03.260 If you try to just remain totally rigidly fixed and never grow up and never become anything,
00:33:09.120 you're going to be very, very unhappy.
00:33:11.120 And you're going to be divorced from reality because the reality is we live in time and
00:33:13.700 space.
00:33:14.440 And overgrown adults, overgrown children who are supposed to be adults should not be sipping
00:33:20.820 Kool-Aid at summer camp having pillow fights.
00:33:22.740 That's not, that's not for you.
00:33:25.100 Okay, speaking of kids, some really good news out of Iowa.
00:33:31.320 Abortions are down 60% since a heartbeat law took effect.
00:33:35.360 What's the heartbeat law?
00:33:36.200 Once a baby's heartbeat is detected, which is very early on in pregnancy, you can't kill
00:33:40.240 the baby.
00:33:41.180 It's good common sense stuff.
00:33:42.420 Really, you should not be able to kill the baby at any point in pregnancy, but this is
00:33:45.440 a good start.
00:33:46.980 The law goes into effect.
00:33:48.820 Now we can measure the effect of the law and the effect is abortions are down 60%.
00:33:53.660 Kim Reynolds, who's the governor of Iowa, marked one year since the heartbeat law took effect.
00:33:59.520 It calls it a powerful victory for life, credits Iowans for standing firm and passing the bill
00:34:04.680 not only once, but twice.
00:34:07.220 Just bookmark the story.
00:34:09.160 This is your answer to, we can't legislate morality.
00:34:14.120 I think we did.
00:34:15.420 I think Iowans did.
00:34:16.640 Iowans just legislated morality.
00:34:19.560 You always legislate morality whenever you legislate.
00:34:22.060 But on this issue, it's very clear.
00:34:23.820 This is life or death, abortion, as moral an issue as any.
00:34:28.240 And a year ago, there were many, many more abortions than there are today.
00:34:32.680 The only thing that changed was not just some kind of nebulous cultural change of hearts
00:34:36.960 and minds.
00:34:37.960 And what changed was they passed a law and they said, we're going to punish people if they
00:34:42.660 keep killing babies.
00:34:44.560 And guess what happened?
00:34:45.600 The number of abortions dropped 60%.
00:34:48.260 You can legislate morality.
00:34:51.780 We always legislate morality of one kind or another.
00:34:55.700 And when you legislate morality rather than immorality, you will save a lot of lives by
00:35:01.100 doing so.
00:35:01.860 Because these Republican politicians and the citizens of Iowa had the courage and moral
00:35:07.660 clarity to legislate morality in a confident way, many, many people are alive today that
00:35:15.080 would otherwise have been murdered.
00:35:17.600 You can do it.
00:35:19.040 We can do it.
00:35:20.480 Legislating morality happens.
00:35:22.420 It is effective.
00:35:24.100 It is really the only thing that we are called to do in our government if we have a self-government.
00:35:32.180 Because the only option is to legislate immorality.
00:35:35.220 Those are your choices.
00:35:36.480 But there's no neutrality in it.
00:35:37.880 The baby is going to live or die.
00:35:41.180 Your choice.
00:35:42.360 What are we going to do?
00:35:43.400 Now, there's a not so great story coming out of Iowa, but it's something that many of us
00:35:48.460 have predicted.
00:35:49.060 I've certainly predicted it on this show.
00:35:51.760 We were told DEI is dead.
00:35:54.620 Undercover footage out of the University of Iowa says, ah, not so fast.

00:36:32.020 My favorite comment yesterday, speaking of schools, is from Jim Mick, who says, my elementary
00:36:35.840 school principal was scarier than the Cincinnati police chief.
00:36:39.880 So true.
00:36:40.860 How did that lady, that Cincinnati lady, become the police chief out there talking about that
00:36:48.900 riot where a bunch of black people attacked a white guy and a white lady, a single mother
00:36:54.260 after a jazz concert, and had the single mother unconscious bleeding out of her mouth on the
00:37:00.340 ground.
00:37:00.860 And then the lady comes out there and she says, well, you know, both sides were wrong here.
00:37:05.320 And we're going to make sure that we take this very seriously.
00:37:09.300 And sure, one of the attackers was only able to clobber these people because he was out on
00:37:13.800 bond.
00:37:14.260 He was a career criminal and a convicted felon, actually.
00:37:18.000 And he was out on a $400 bond already.
00:37:20.600 And don't worry, we're doing it very seriously.
00:37:22.920 And we're going to punish everybody.
00:37:24.020 You're going to punish a single mother probably bleeding from her mouth.
00:37:25.900 How did she become a police chief?
00:37:28.080 There's actually a lot more to that story.
00:37:29.160 Maybe we'll get to it tomorrow.
00:37:29.860 For now, though, this hidden camera footage published by Fox News out of the University
00:37:37.680 of Iowa.
00:37:38.420 This is a UIowa official describing what's really going on with DEI at the school.
00:37:45.080 I want to say maybe February, March, our communications person came in and was like, hey, like we have
00:37:51.680 to redo our websites per the regents to take off diversity, equity, inclusion, anything like
00:37:57.900 that.
00:37:58.180 Any like buzzwords?
00:37:59.860 So they swept our websites.
00:38:03.600 So it's not there anymore.
00:38:05.140 So it's not there, but we are essentially finding ways to operate around it.
00:38:13.660 So that was our solution.
00:38:15.620 We were like, oh, okay, we can't use that word.
00:38:18.360 Okay.
00:38:19.280 Sipping engagement.
00:38:21.380 I think that's a lot of what we're doing.
00:38:23.380 It's like, oh, okay, we're not allowed to use this word.
00:38:26.760 Okay, we're just going to do this.
00:38:28.420 So yeah, that's why you're not going to see DEI listed on any University of Iowa website.
00:38:35.480 But there have been transitions and things that they've done.
00:38:38.620 So they're not like getting rid of certain things.
00:38:40.980 On behalf of my office, we're still going to talk about DEI.
00:38:45.080 We're still going to do all the DEI things.
00:38:46.200 It's like my assistant dean is a black woman, and I could not imagine her being like, okay,
00:38:51.000 guys, yeah, we're just not going to talk about DEI anymore.
00:38:53.280 Okay, two lessons here.
00:38:55.540 Two lessons here that correct what passed for conservatism 15 years ago.
00:38:59.880 The first one is, the lowercase c constitution matters a lot more than the capital C constitution.
00:39:08.540 You understand what I mean by that?
00:39:11.180 DEI is illegal.
00:39:12.780 The executive branch has said so.
00:39:15.200 The judicial branch has weighed in to varying degrees on aspects of DEI, like affirmative action in schools.
00:39:21.500 And so the government has weighed in and said, DEI, this racial caste system that privileges certain races over other races, not acceptable, illegal, can't do it.
00:39:33.400 And what do the universities say?
00:39:34.940 They say, oh, yes, okay, great.
00:39:36.940 We'll totally abide by that.
00:39:41.900 And so they get rid of the DEI webpages on their sites.
00:39:46.080 Even just for market reasons, because it wasn't the government acting necessarily of its own volition,
00:39:53.340 you had a popular upswell among ordinary people and voters saying, we don't want DEI.
00:39:57.900 So the schools, to protect themselves, they say, we won't have any more DEI.
00:40:01.840 And then when they're on hidden camera, when they're having private conversations or what they think are private conversations,
00:40:07.200 they say, no, no, we still have DEI.
00:40:08.720 We just don't call it that anymore.
00:40:11.700 Back 15 years ago, I remember the conservatives would just bang their heads against the wall,
00:40:15.800 because they'd say, how is our government acting this way?
00:40:17.860 How is Barack Obama acting in such a lawless way?
00:40:20.420 Our Constitution says he can't.
00:40:24.100 And Obama said, yeah, yeah, whatever.
00:40:27.140 Okay, okay, go.
00:40:29.000 Hey, go call up the Constitution and have him come, you know, fight me or something.
00:40:33.340 Oh, oh, you can't because the Constitution, the provisions of the Constitution have to be enacted by real men in time and space.
00:40:38.900 Oh, and that's me.
00:40:39.900 Oh, okay, well, whatever.
00:40:41.580 Your Constitution, a buck 50 is going to get you a cup of coffee.
00:40:44.200 Now, after Joe Biden's inflation, it would be the Constitution and like 550 will get you a cup of coffee.
00:40:49.520 But in any case, we learned that lesson.
00:40:53.080 It's great for the executive branch to weigh in.
00:40:55.120 It's great for the judiciary to weigh in.
00:40:57.480 It's great for the Constitution to say something.
00:40:58.980 But if these things are not being put into practice by the human beings who actually make up political society, it's going to come to nothing.
00:41:05.960 Now, does that mean we throw up our hands hopelessly?
00:41:10.280 No.
00:41:11.620 Because there are ways to bring the lowercase C Constitution into accord with the uppercase C Constitution.
00:41:18.000 This is the other corrective of the conservatism of 15 years ago.
00:41:20.380 As we were told, the uppercase C Constitution can never affect the lowercase C Constitution.
00:41:25.460 We were told the law can never affect the culture.
00:41:28.000 We were told that politics is just simply downstream of culture, whatever.
00:41:30.660 That obviously isn't true either.
00:41:32.080 Look at the abortion story.
00:41:33.080 So, what has to be done here to bring these rogue university administrators who are making money on the public dime into line with what the people want, what the president is ordering, what the Supreme Court is ordering, what is needed is you have to punish these people.
00:41:50.140 So, this woman certainly needs to lose her job.
00:41:52.420 I have nothing against her personally.
00:41:54.160 She might be repentant.
00:41:55.940 She might be a perfectly fine person.
00:41:57.640 We all sin and fall short of the glory of God.
00:41:59.140 She cannot remain in that position.
00:42:00.560 She has committed a massive fraud.
00:42:03.660 She needs to be fired.
00:42:04.880 Maybe her entire department needs to be fired.
00:42:06.960 I mean, you need to look in the documents and see who is collaborating with her here.
00:42:10.260 Maybe many of her colleagues at the university need to be fired and seriously punished, prosecuted if that is appropriate.
00:42:18.900 Kim Reynolds, governor of Iowa, has already filed a complaint with the university.
00:42:22.380 But you need to ruthlessly punish this stuff because we have a system right now where the government says one thing.
00:42:31.300 The people say one thing.
00:42:32.260 The president says one thing.
00:42:33.220 The Supreme Court says one thing.
00:42:34.880 But the apparatchiks in the bureaucracy who were supposed to put those decrees into effect, they don't feel any heat.
00:42:42.680 They don't feel any incentive to do so or disincentive for not doing so.
00:42:46.180 So they're just going to keep on operating.
00:42:48.880 Yeah, we're going to, they said, okay, we'll take the webpage down, but we're still doing DEI.
00:42:52.160 No, no, no.
00:42:52.540 You need to make it hurt for these people to violate the law and the will of the people and basic principles of justice.
00:42:59.620 That's what you got to do.
00:43:00.560 And then you can't, then your legal decrees and your political decrees really can shape the culture.
00:43:07.040 And this will have a self-reinforcing effect where these kinds of people, I mean, this girl should not have graduated from a university, much less worked at one.
00:43:15.640 The way she's speaking, the way she is so flippantly talking about matters of justice and the law, this girl, maybe she shouldn't have graduated from high school.
00:43:23.300 So when you get the right people back in, when you recognize the personnel as policy, when you get the right, then you have a self-reinforcing mechanism where the capital C constitution, lower C constitution reinforce each other.
00:43:37.380 Okay.
00:43:39.060 Now, I have much, much more to say.
00:43:42.540 There is a study, this is a shocking, shocking study, that it turns out you can die from a broken heart.
00:43:50.400 You ever hear that?
00:43:50.880 You ever hear like, you know, grandpa dies, grandma and grandpa have been married for 50 years, 60, 70 years, and then grandpa dies, and then five seconds later, grandma dies, which happens.
00:44:01.660 Happily, sometimes that doesn't happen.
00:44:03.380 Happily, sometimes grandma lives much longer, but sometimes, very sadly, it happens.
00:44:09.500 And we say, well, she died of a broken heart.
00:44:11.640 Or, you know, some poor mother, you know, her kid dies, and then she dies.
00:44:15.040 And so she dies of a broken heart.
00:44:16.440 Well, now there's a scientific study showing that that happened.
00:44:20.880 And the study doesn't tell you that much about human nature.
00:44:23.300 It does tell you a lot about science.
00:44:25.480 Well, we'll have to get to that tomorrow because I don't have time right now.
