The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1832 - New Evidence： LA Fires May Have Been Left-Wing Terrorism

00:00:00.000 As authorities begin to take a closer look at left-wing terrorism, which Democrats have spent

00:00:04.360 years telling us does not exist, the sheer scope of it is shocking, even to those of us who've seen

00:00:09.940 it firsthand. Now, even events that we had previously attributed to nature seem connected,

00:00:16.440 with an arrest yesterday making us ask, were the LA fires left-wing terrorism too?

00:00:23.080 I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:00:30.000 Welcome back to the show. It's a jean jacket Thursday, everybody. Do you know why it's a

00:00:49.240 jean jacket? I just got this cool jean jacket because it's a Mayflower jean jacket. I was just

00:00:55.600 given this. This is a very sweet gift that I got. It's very cool. And I don't care. I know some

00:01:00.000 people are going to, they're going to be shocked. This is going to rock their world. This is going

00:01:05.020 to be, they might start yelling. Well, I promise you won't be yelling and screaming as much as the

00:01:09.680 Democrat leading candidate for governor of California, Katie Porter. We got the goods.

00:01:14.560 I'm Katie Porter freaking out over being asked a question. First though, I want to tell you about

00:01:18.540 Pure Talk. Go to puretalk.com slash Knowles. When was the last time you bragged about your wireless

00:01:23.040 company? Like, hey, hey, Johnny, did you know my wireless company gave away a thousand American

00:01:28.340 flags to deserving veterans and forgave a million dollars in veteran debt? Did you know my wireless

00:01:31.700 company raised almost half a million dollars to prevent veteran suicide? When was the last time 0.68

00:01:34.840 you bragged like that? Well, it was probably pretty recent if your wireless company is Pure Talk.

00:01:40.180 There's a lot to brag about with Pure Talk. And you especially can brag about the coverage that

00:01:44.660 you get a 5G network that is insanely fast, dependable, and secure. But the thing that I really

00:01:49.920 like to brag about, I've had Pure Talk for years now. Yes, you're getting that top 5G coverage.

00:01:55.420 But you know me, I'm a cheapskate. You're saving a lot of money, a lot of money. You get unlimited

00:01:59.180 talk, unlimited text, 15 gigs of high-speed data, which is more than I suspect you're ever going to

00:02:05.520 need, for $35 a month with a mobile hotspot. Because they sometimes charge for the mobile hotspot.

00:02:11.560 That's where they get you. I know you're thinking, you're like, no, but that's plus the this fee

00:02:15.440 into that fee. And that's actually $100 a month. It's nuts. It's $35 a month. Switch to my wireless

00:02:19.480 company, Pure Talk. If you need another reason, something you can brag about, Pure Talk is the

00:02:23.040 only wireless company that gives you a free one-year membership to Daily Wire. Plus, when you

00:02:27.080 go to puretalk.com slash Knowles, choose a qualifying plan at puretalk.com slash Knowles. Relish your free

00:02:31.700 one-year membership to Daily Wire. Plus, Pure Talk Wireless worth bragging about. You can't get this

00:02:37.480 jean jacket yet. What do we think? In the comments, let me know. Can I pull it off? Am I like Fonzie? Should I put a

00:02:41.840 cigarette behind my ear? Go, you know, roll dice behind the high school gym? Okay. There are more

00:02:47.600 serious issues to talk about, like left-wing terror. Now, obviously, in recent weeks, we've been talking

00:02:53.800 a lot about left-wing terror. The left has been covering up the left-wing terror, pretending it

00:02:57.440 does not exist. And yet, we're seeing incidents after incidents. We're also seeing the left broadly

00:03:03.140 defend political violence. But when you apply a little bit of scrutiny, when you take that closer eye,

00:03:08.740 you see that even events that had previously been considered politically neutral or even that had

00:03:14.220 been attributed to nature might have this tie-in. Remember the LA fires, the fires that burned down

00:03:21.520 one of America's major cities? The left blamed it on climate change, of course. They blame every,

00:03:27.960 they stub their toe in the morning, they say it's climate change. But even the right had blamed it on

00:03:33.260 political mismanagement. And there was a lot of political mismanagement. Gavin Newsom was warned by

00:03:37.140 Donald Trump years ago that he wasn't taking proper efforts to clean up the wildlife, to clean up the

00:03:46.220 grass. He wasn't maintaining the environment of California enough. He was mismanaging the water.

00:03:54.820 He was allowing water to run off into the Pacific to save the precious Delta smelt. Meanwhile, the 0.81

00:04:00.740 reservoirs, fire hydrants were not being supplied with water that would be necessary in the case of

00:04:07.040 forest fires, which were frequent in California. So anyway, that's where the blame was. Now the FBI

00:04:12.160 is upending both of those narratives and saying, no, no, no. The fires were started intentionally

00:04:18.060 by an apparent left winger. So here are the facts. I don't want to get too ahead of our skis here,

00:04:23.600 but the facts are the Palisades fire burned up 23,400 acres. The Palisades fire burned down almost

00:04:32.340 6,800 structures, many, many homes, a dozen people died. They're now saying, according to a report from

00:04:41.960 the DC reporter, they're now saying that this guy, this random guy started the fires.

00:04:49.160 Uh, this guy, if you look him up, he was living in Los Angeles, not employed. He, his income was

00:04:57.280 something like $2 or something. He donated $1 to Joe Biden because you know, political donations are

00:05:02.960 made public. So again, that's being reported right now. It's, it's unclear. This is all, all breaking.

00:05:08.660 This guy, uh, allegedly looked up a bunch of stuff about, about, uh, fires. He allegedly generated AI

00:05:18.560 images of cities burning and he searched this question. Can you be at fault for a fire if your

00:05:23.420 cigarette starts it? Now the, the search makes you think, well, it could have been that this guy was

00:05:29.060 just up in the Hollywood Hills and he was smoking and he accidentally lit the fire and then he was

00:05:32.440 trying to cover his tracks. That happened one time. I actually, one time I was visiting LA early,

00:05:38.120 early on, I was smoking a cigar up by the Hollywood sign and people were screaming at me and I thought

00:05:42.240 they were just anti-smoking fanatics, but no, they realized, uh, that my ash could set the entire city

00:05:47.660 ablaze. I didn't know that at the time. So anyway, I understood that maybe this guy just had the bad

00:05:52.540 luck and the negligence to do that. No, no, no. If you look at the images, he clearly, he clearly

00:05:59.360 thought about this more consciously. It looks like he was a fire bug. Looks like he was, well, pretty

00:06:04.660 clearly he was on the left. If he was a Joe Biden donor. Now those two events might not be connected.

00:06:11.380 The, the arson searches and the fact that he donated to Democrats, it might, it could be the

00:06:16.200 case that his politics had nothing to do with the arson, but yet again, we're seeing left-wing people

00:06:25.360 introducing lots of disorder into society. Obviously in the case of Antifa or an assassin or, uh, any of

00:06:32.620 these groups that ransacked the crisis pregnancy centers, uh, you know, they're the, the link

00:06:37.380 between the ideology and the political violence and disorders is very tight. In this case, I don't

00:06:44.420 mean, they might be looser, but, but again, how many incidents that the mass migration, the illegal

00:06:51.800 immigration, the gangs in our cities, that's all pretty closely related to left-wing ideology.

00:06:58.140 Even if it's not direct, even if the trend de Aragua gangster is, is not, you know, a leftist

00:07:03.800 with a coexist bumper sticker on his car, he is introduced into the community because of the

00:07:08.700 left. There's the left introducing the disorder, all the weird sex stuff. It might not be consciously

00:07:13.700 ideological, but all the weird sex stuff is being promoted in our communities because of left-wing

00:07:19.800 ideology. This guy, this weirdo fire bug, I don't, if the facts that are being reported are accurate,

00:07:28.520 then the LA fire is started because of, um, a disturbed leftist. And at a certain point,

00:07:36.060 you just have to ask how much more of this are we going to tolerate? Because the, uh, the argument

00:07:43.280 in recent weeks from the classically liberal right has been, we just need more debate. We need more

00:07:50.400 openness. We need less censorship. We need more. We just need to double and triple down on liberalism,

00:07:55.940 albeit of the classical variety. And my argument has been, no, no, no, we need to circumscribe.

00:08:00.860 We need to suppress certain evil behaviors and disordered ideologies. We need to actually

00:08:08.600 discourage those things because leftism is creating a lot of problems and we need to stop

00:08:14.820 promoting it. We need to stop treating it neutrally or with a laissez-faire hand. We need to suppress

00:08:20.500 certain aberrant behaviors, like for example, the weird gender sex stuff and certain evil ideologies 0.98

00:08:27.140 like anarchism, like communism, the ideologies associated with Antifa. We need to actively suppress

00:08:32.480 them. We did that for much of American history. Then we stopped. Then we, I don't know,

00:08:36.780 but then we started to worship at the idol of the invisible hand. But how many more times?

00:08:42.880 How much more are we going to deal with? Now, Gavin Newsom, some of the Democrats are trying to

00:08:46.920 distance themselves. Gavin Newsom tweets out, today's arrest of a 29-year-old Florida resident,

00:08:51.880 Jonathan Rindernacht, marks an important step toward uncovering how the horrific Palisades fire began

00:08:57.180 and bringing closure to the thousands of Californians whose lives were upended.

00:09:01.020 You see this? You see this little sleight of hand here? He's a 29-year-old Florida resident.

00:09:05.060 Technically, that's true. What Gavin Newsom is not pointing out here is he was a California

00:09:11.280 resident when he allegedly started the fires. What he's not pointing out is he fled to Florida

00:09:17.200 after he committed his crime. He's trying to make him look like a Florida resident because

00:09:22.860 Newsom's foil has been Ron DeSantis in Florida. Remember they had that debate? It was the undercard

00:09:28.580 debate in the 2016 presidential election. There's the Florida way, that's the Republican way for the

00:09:33.760 country, in the states, and there's the Democrat way, the California way. It's like, oh, he's a

00:09:38.180 Florida resident trying to insinuate that the guy's a Republican because Florida has switched from being

00:09:42.740 a swing state into being a pretty solidly Republican state. But that isn't true. When the guy allegedly lit

00:09:48.120 the fires, he was a Californian. He was one of Gavin Newsom's own constituents, which just adds another

00:09:54.960 layer to the political negligence of Gavin Newsom. He didn't deal with the brush. He didn't deal with

00:09:59.900 the water. And he didn't deal with the homeless who do start a lot of fires. And he didn't deal

00:10:04.460 with this lunatic. Failure after failure after failure. But they're doing nothing to fix it. 0.99

00:10:15.740 They're doing absolutely nothing to fix it. And you're seeing this not just at the level of the

00:10:21.860 office holders. You're seeing this throughout the left, the thinkers such as they are, the communicators,

00:10:28.180 the streamers. You're just seeing this penchant for disorder and this creepy kind of violence all the way

00:10:34.540 down to Hassan Piker. We'll get to him in one second. First, I want to tell you about Rabbit Air. Go to

00:10:40.020 rabbitair.com. I love my Rabbit Air. I should say I love my Rabbit Airs. I have one Rabbit A3 that's in

00:10:48.080 my, where did I put it? I might have put it in my kid's room. And then I have another Rabbit A3 that is in my 0.72

00:10:53.240 family room. And that's even got a Mayflower logo on it. And it's phenomenal because it's specifically

00:10:57.920 made. It's so good. It's so strong to even clear out cigar smoke, which if you don't have an air

00:11:03.640 purifier, it really screws up your house. But if you do have it, it's fabulous. But because of that,

00:11:08.260 because of how strong it is, it's just so great. Even if you don't smoke, if you never smoke inside,

00:11:13.020 it's so good. I've been using mine for years in the office here. And it's sleek. It's quiet.

00:11:20.420 You can set the timers and everything on the apps. It's got negative ions. It works. Especially if

00:11:25.920 you have little kids, you have pets, you have, you have to get it. Rabbit Air's award-winning

00:11:30.340 A3 purifier is six-stage filtration, advanced deodorization, tackles anything you want.

00:11:35.180 The cigar smoke, the odors, the pollutants. It has dual hive-activated carbon filters that boost

00:11:40.560 efficiency by 26%. It upgrades the single-layer design with two offset layers, more carbon surface

00:11:45.760 area, better air contact, stronger odor removal. It's just unbelievable. Especially for the

00:11:49.960 cigar guys, but for everybody else as well. Right now, you need to upgrade your space.

00:11:54.580 You go to rabbitair.com or call them 24-7 to speak to a Rabbit Air consultant. I could not

00:12:00.200 endorse this product more than I do. It is magnificent. Speaking of violent leftists,

00:12:06.740 Hassan Piker. Do you know him? He's a, what is he? He's like 30-something streamer. He's a leftist.

00:12:12.680 He is pretty popular. He just got in trouble, not for something he said ideologically, but because

00:12:19.240 he apparently put a shock collar on his dog and then hours into one of his streams, the dog decided

00:12:26.740 to move and stretch his legs a little and he shocked the poor little dog underneath his desk.

00:12:30.980 I hate this country so much.

00:12:38.880 You can be on a mountain in the middle of Norway and get better internet than Los Angeles, California.

00:12:45.980 And this is just like a moment of anger. This is a moment of anger for like something that is just so

00:12:55.920 routine, so silly, such a first world problem, but it is emblematic of all of America's much more

00:13:02.920 consequential violence. Okay. It's the same reason as to why America, Kaya, please just go, just stop. 0.93

00:13:13.220 Jesus Christ. What are you doing? You're being such a baby.

00:13:24.120 It's just, you're making her stressed. I, I, I, she just literally is, is so incredibly spoiled from

00:13:34.400 my mom. Okay. So for those of you who are only listening, he, the dog gets up to just move around

00:13:41.120 a little bit. I guess the dog is used as a prop on his show. And then he reaches on his desk

00:13:45.440 somewhere. And as he reaches, he does something and then dog yelps and people have concluded the

00:13:50.620 sleuths online have concluded. He's got a shock collar and he's torturing the poor dog for trying

00:13:54.500 to get up during his hours and hours of blabbing. This guy, he, I've said it for years. This guy is

00:14:01.480 the left. He is the young left in that way. I'm very grateful for him. He checks every single box.

00:14:07.120 Callous as can be prone to violence, hates America. As he opens, he opened those first

00:14:14.740 line of the video because I hate this country so much. This country is so terrible. It's the

00:14:17.980 worst ever. And what's funny is he says, I can't even get good internet in Los Angeles.

00:14:21.640 That's to which I would say, uh, you know, my internet's pretty good in Tennessee. I don't know.

00:14:25.080 Maybe that's more of a LA problem. Of course his answer is we need to make all of America like LA.

00:14:30.100 Well, now you're, I don't know. You're in the city that isn't functioning very well. My city's

00:14:34.620 working really great. Anyway, people are horrified by this. They're not horrified by all the other

00:14:39.660 things he's ever said. They're horrified that he would shock his little dog. They're wondering,

00:14:43.580 could he possibly do this? He's supposed to be this compassionate, sympathetic, left winger,

00:14:48.320 bleeding heart. Could, is it possible that he would shock a dog? I remember after Charlie was

00:14:54.640 assassinated, a clip of his started going viral again in which he said that he wanted the streets to

00:14:59.900 run red and be soaked in the blood of capitalists. I think he would shock a dog. Yeah. I think if

00:15:08.400 you want the wholesale slaughter of half the country and you call for that publicly and you

00:15:15.540 don't back down and you don't regret it, I think you would be willing to shock a little doggy. Yeah.

00:15:22.180 I think you would. Now, some people don't actually. It's kind of funny because people often point out

00:15:25.580 that Hitler really loved dogs. And so sometimes there are, and there are, I don't just mean to

00:15:30.840 point to Hitler. I mean like the whole animal welfare, PETA, environmentalist left. These are

00:15:39.000 people who almost to a man support slaughtering babies and abortion. But if you don't put your

00:15:44.640 little poodle in a stroller on the street, so it's little paws. Don't have to step on the curb.

00:15:49.780 You know, you're a genocidal maniac. You're just awful. So these are, yes, there are people who 1.00

00:15:55.880 have really screwed up priorities and they love animals and hate people. I always say I'm a people

00:16:02.080 person. But I wouldn't want to, I don't care for dogs. I don't care for cats. I don't really care

00:16:05.700 for pets. I'm a people person. I don't want to torture them. I wouldn't put a shot collar on them

00:16:11.960 and zap them every time they don't act like props in the back of my show. And then what does he do?

00:16:19.320 He immediately plays the victim, right? He zaps the poor little dog for getting up,

00:16:24.180 allegedly. And then he says, why'd you make me do that? Man, this is like a caricature out of a

00:16:30.420 Lifetime movie. This is every Lifetime movie, right? The big evil guy comes in, like viciously

00:16:36.460 beats a woman. And then what does the abuser say? Why'd you make me do that? You just make me so angry.

00:16:42.320 This is awful. I just, I hate, I hate how angry I am. And the reason I mentioned this is not merely

00:16:49.820 to beat up on his son, Piker, who deserves it. And he obviously should be excluded from polite

00:16:54.940 society, not for the dog thing, but for all the comments about the people and he should not be

00:16:58.720 platformed and all the rest of it. But he says something really interesting. He says, ah, so angry.

00:17:06.160 I'm so angry. And it's just these little things, but it's emblematic of, I was like, yes,

00:17:10.880 it is emblematic because it's emblematic of everything that's wrong with this country that 0.99

00:17:14.300 sucks. I think, no, no, no, you're all, you're so close. Your anger is emblematic of the left's 0.95

00:17:20.800 broader resentment, pride, envy, and wrath and all the other deadly sins too. But your anger,

00:17:29.940 it's not that you are angry because the dog getting up and stretching his legs is emblematic

00:17:36.540 of all of the evils of this terrible country where the internet supposedly doesn't work.

00:17:41.340 It's that your anger is emblematic of a character flaw on the left, but it is representative.

00:17:47.160 I don't have to recite the statistics, but they've been coming out over the past three weeks. The left

00:17:52.540 is overwhelmingly much, much more likely to support political violence than the right is.

00:17:57.880 Shockingly so. Eight times more among very, very liberal people compared to very conservative

00:18:03.760 people. 30% almost of young liberals say political violence can be justified. They celebrated the

00:18:07.880 murder of Charlie. Yeah. This is who they are. What do they say? They say, I want the streets to

00:18:13.220 run red in the blood of my enemies. Stephen Bonnell, another lib streamer, he comes out, he says,

00:18:18.760 Republicans need to fear for their lives. They need to think they're going to be murdered when they

00:18:21.860 go to events. We need more of that. So yeah, this is who they are. And so what are you going to

00:18:27.700 do? I guess the lesson we can learn from Hassan Piker here is maybe we need a little shock collar.

00:18:33.820 You know, what's the just use of the shock collar? The just use of the shock collar is to train a dog

00:18:39.140 who is misbehaving and get the dog to behave. What Hassan Piker has done that's wrong here is not use

00:18:44.840 a shock collar. It's that he is punishing the dog for perfectly reasonable behaviors. The dog should be

00:18:52.360 allowed to get up and move around. He's a dog. He doesn't need to be a prop in your show.

00:18:55.120 If the dog were biting the neighbor, then you'd use the shock collar.

00:18:59.360 If the dog were running away, if the dog were shooting people, if the dog were threatening

00:19:04.440 political violence against an entire community, then you should shock the dog. That's what we need

00:19:09.100 to do. Not through the use of private violence, but through the use of state power. These guys

00:19:15.080 aren't getting any better. The assassination of Charlie was not this come to Jesus moment.

00:19:22.520 Literally, I wish it were a come to Jesus moment for them. For a lot of other people, it is. But

00:19:25.740 for the left, it's not. They're doubling down. They're saying, yeah, we are going to commit

00:19:32.340 violence. And yeah, these guys did have it coming. Yeah, it's actually a good thing.

00:19:36.640 Many of them were celebrating. And so if they're not going to get any better, you have to create

00:19:41.560 incentives for them to get better and you need to punish them when they don't.

00:19:45.540 And so in the case of someone like Hassan Piker, he should be excluded. He should be de-platformed.

00:19:50.200 And conservatives who have any say in this should de-platform him. He should be kicked off Twitter.

00:19:56.300 I don't know if he is on Twitter. He should be kicked off of Twitter. He should be kicked off

00:19:59.780 of YouTube for the things that he has said. I know that the free speech absolutists aren't going to

00:20:05.740 like that, but there are limits to free speech in the First Amendment, in the American political

00:20:10.960 tradition, precisely because those limits are necessary to defend the free marketplace of ideas.

00:20:16.840 And if you go out and you say, I want the streets to run red in the blood of conservatives simply for

00:20:23.480 having their opinions, having a particular political view, you need to be excluded from the free

00:20:28.500 marketplace of ideas. So we'll see. We got to put the shock collar on Hassan. Okay. Not literally.

00:20:35.520 He would do it literally probably to all of us and worse, but we need to put a political shock

00:20:39.720 collar on the left or it's going to get worse. It's going to get a lot worse. And don't say you

00:20:44.980 weren't warned. Okay. Speaking of deranged California Democrats, Katie Porter, man. She's 0.99

00:22:36.700 Trump is Putin's bitch. You are anti-American. No, no, no, no, no, no. Let me talk. Most of the 1.00

00:22:41.940 are asylum seekers or are they economic? Wait, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, let's see what you just said.

00:22:46.580 I want to help you get laid. Not me. Are you pro incel? No. Well, welcome to Bar Fight. I'm

00:22:57.960 Michael Knowles. I'm joined tonight by two guests. Wow, real sophisticated answer. I know. You would

00:23:03.760 know him from CNN if anyone ever watched Adam Mockler. Well, dude, you got to answer my questions

00:23:08.300 a little better. Just because you're wrong about something doesn't mean it's not. That's convenient.

00:23:11.920 You know what? You should get out of my country. They want more deportations. I'm also joined

00:23:16.260 one of the most reasonable people ever to appear on Jubilee. That would be Cecilia Wray. 0.91

00:23:25.680 You can watch now the Michael Knowles YouTube channel and Daily Wire Plus. Katie Porter,

00:23:32.080 Democrat member of Congress running for governor of California. She sits down with CBS News. This is a

00:23:37.780 broadcast news network. Generally liberal. I think they do a good job. I think they've been

00:23:42.700 fair, especially recently, but they're a liberal network. She couldn't handle a question from a

00:23:51.180 journalist at an historically liberal news network.

00:23:55.460 What do you say to the 40 percent of California voters who you'll need in order to win who voted

00:24:01.760 for Trump? How would I need them in order to win, man? Well, unless you think you're going to get

00:24:06.320 60 percent of the vote. You think you'll get 60 percent. Everybody who did not vote for Trump

00:24:10.500 will vote for you. That's what you're saying. In a general election? Yes. If it is me versus a

00:24:14.440 Republican, I think that I will win the people who did not vote for Trump. What if it's you versus

00:24:17.880 another Democrat? I don't intend that to be the case. So how do you not intend that to be the case?

00:24:22.200 Are you going to ask them not to run? No, I'm saying I'm going to build the support. I have

00:24:26.000 the support already in terms of name recognition. And so I'm going to do the very best I can to make

00:24:29.500 sure that we get through this primary in a really strong position. But let me be clear with you.

00:24:32.560 I represented Orange County. I represented a purple area. I have stood on my own two feet and won

00:24:36.660 Republican votes before. That's not something every candidate in this race can say. If you're from a 0.94

00:24:40.440 deep blue area, if you're from L.A. or you're from Oakland, you don't have an experience.

00:24:43.940 You just said you don't need those Trump voters. You asked me if I needed them to win.

00:24:47.380 I feel like this isn't necessarily argumentative. What is your question?

00:24:49.940 The question is the same thing I asked everybody, that this is being called

00:24:53.800 the empowering voters to stop Trump's power grab. Every other candidate has answered this

00:24:57.680 question. This is not. I said I support it. So the question is, what do you say to the 40% 0.99

00:25:02.720 of voters who voted for Trump? Oh, I'm happy to say that. It's the do you need them to win

00:25:06.580 part that I don't understand. I'm happy to answer the question as you haven't written and I'll answer

00:25:09.640 it. And we've also asked the other candidates, do you think you need any of those 40% of California

00:25:13.680 voters to win? And you're saying, no, you don't. No, I'm saying I'm going to try to win every vote I

00:25:16.820 can. And what I'm saying to you is that. Well, to those voters. Okay. So you, I don't want to

00:25:21.620 keep doing this. I'm going to call it. Thank you. Okay. Pause it. Pause it. Okay. So crazy behavior

00:25:29.500 from her. First of all, she clearly was prepped for certain questions, right? She says, well,

00:25:35.080 ask the question as it's written and maybe I'll answer it. You ask the question as it's written,

00:25:38.680 which the journalist did. That makes me wonder, I don't know this definitively.

00:25:42.240 Did Katie Porter's team demand the questions ahead of time? Meaning, well, I'm not even going

00:25:46.980 to go into a CBS news interview without knowing the questions ahead of time. And then if the

00:25:50.940 reporter deviated from the question by a word or two, or maybe not even just ask the question as

00:25:55.000 it was with a followup, she says, I got to get out of here. But Katie Porter is mocking this question.

00:26:01.080 And she's so frustrated by this question. This is a very good question. She says, okay,

00:26:03.660 it's a 60, 40 state. What are you going to do about the 40%? Are you going to try to win any of them 0.73

00:26:07.700 over? She goes, I don't need them to win. 60% are Democrats. But the point is, you can't just

00:26:13.840 rely on all of those people showing up. Any political campaign is going to try to get support

00:26:21.160 from the other side. There's always Democrats for Reagan, Democrats for Bush, Democrats for Trump.

00:26:26.180 Yeah, there's always that stuff. And on top of that, there is a possibility that there will be

00:26:33.060 another Democrat in the race. So if there's another Democrat in the race, now you're really going to

00:26:36.300 need some Republican support. It's not like there are only 3% Republicans in California.

00:26:39.820 There are a lot of Republicans. It's a Democrat state, but there are a lot of Republicans.

00:26:43.580 And Katie Porter says, I don't need them. I don't need them, but I'm really good at winning

00:26:48.120 their votes, but I don't want to win their votes. So it's totally reasonable for the journalist to

00:26:51.440 say, well, hold on, just what is your strategy? And even at the slightest pushback from a liberal news

00:26:58.700 network, this woman says, I'm out of here. I'm done. I don't want to do this anymore. 0.66

00:27:02.560 Why? Because the Democrats are so unfamiliar with being challenged in any way.

00:27:10.340 For Republicans, we can go on the conservative news networks, and sometimes we get pushback.

00:27:15.700 For the libs, they generally don't go on the conservative news networks, and they're used

00:27:18.940 to getting softballs from all of the other liberal outlets, the newspapers and the websites and the

00:27:23.380 podcasts and the TV networks. She's so prickly about it. She can't take the heat. This is one way in

00:27:31.240 which being protected by a liberal network, not a TV network, but a political network, being protected

00:27:40.120 by this fortress of institutional liberalism can actually weaken you. Because when there are some

00:27:45.960 chinks in the armor there, when some of the walls of the fort start coming down, when Republicans win 0.77

00:27:50.940 the popular vote and the Congress and the Senate and have the Supreme Court and then start to wield

00:27:54.920 power in a way that makes the liberal institutions come along a little bit more in big tech and in the

00:28:00.940 media, then they're totally vulnerable. How's this woman going to be governor of California? 1.00

00:28:06.680 She can't handle a question from a friendly news network. Keep going.

00:28:10.540 You're not going to do the interview with us.

00:28:12.280 Nope, not like this. I'm not. Not with seven follow-ups to every single question you ask.

00:28:15.420 Every other candidate has answered.

00:28:16.740 I don't care. I don't care. I want to have a pleasant, positive conversation, which you asked me

00:28:20.620 about every issue on this list.

00:28:22.180 I want to have a pleasant conversation. I'm running for governor because I want to have

00:28:26.860 a pleasant time. Why won't you let me have a nice time? You didn't even offer me an iced tea.

00:28:32.740 You're running for, you know, you're running for governor. You're in politics, right? You know,

00:28:37.780 you're not, this is not a day at the spa, but she thinks it is. The entitlement from this woman is 0.99

00:28:45.340 magnificent. But between her and Jay Jones, we'll try to get to him a little bit later.

00:28:51.740 He's the AG candidate in Virginia who fantasized about murdering a Republican and the Republican's

00:28:56.440 kids. Yeah. Between these two, man, Democrats are going to have a rough, a rough couple of years,

00:29:02.480 aren't they? If these two are the face of the party and they're going to have a rough couple 1.00

00:29:06.080 of years because these two are not outliers. That's what the past three weeks have shown us.

00:29:11.440 It's not just some fringe lunatic who supports political violence. It's the presumptive AG,

00:29:17.800 attorney general, top law enforcement official in California, in Virginia. It's not just some

00:29:23.940 crazy snowflake on a college campus with crazy hair who's entitled and bratty and can't answer 1.00

00:29:29.860 a question and screams at people. It's the presumptive governor of the state of California. 0.91

00:29:34.660 This is the Democrat party. This is so brutal to them because it's accurate. Keep going.

00:29:41.440 ...on this list. And if every question, you're going to make up a follow-up question,

00:29:45.040 then we're never going to get there. And we're just going to circle around.

00:29:48.060 I am investigating reporters. I've never had to do this before. Ever.

00:29:50.620 You've never had to have a conversation? No, she's never has.

00:29:54.340 Okay, but every other candidate has done this.

00:29:56.020 What part of, I'm me, I'm running for governor because I'm a leader. So I am going to make...

00:30:00.840 So you're not going to answer questions from reporters? Okay, why don't we go through?

00:30:03.940 I will continue to ask follow-up questions because that's my job as a journalist.

00:30:06.600 But I will go through and ask me. If you don't want to answer, you don't want to answer.

00:30:10.160 So nearly every legislator... I don't want to have an unhappy experience with you.

00:30:14.440 Put a pause.

00:30:17.600 I'm not going to... If there are follow-up questions...

00:30:20.280 Lady, look, I don't know this investigative reporter. 0.99

00:30:23.600 CBS, I find, is relatively fair compared to the other networks.

00:30:27.460 But it's a liberal network, okay?

00:30:30.960 And even a hint of fairness, and in this case, very serious professionalism.

00:30:37.480 The reporter says, hey, you know, that's my job.

00:30:40.420 What do you think that we're doing here?

00:30:42.900 My... I'm...

00:30:44.020 Oh, you thought I'm just a shell and a propagandist for you.

00:30:46.560 I can't do that.

00:30:47.960 I can't... I have to ask you at least some mild questions.

00:30:52.600 And what does Katie Porter say?

00:30:53.880 I don't want to have an unhappy experience.

00:30:58.020 I don't...

00:30:59.460 This is like the grown-up Greta Thunberg speech at the UN.

00:31:02.760 You have stolen my dreams.

00:31:05.300 You, how dare you? 1.00

00:31:07.680 This is it.

00:31:08.400 This is the...

00:31:10.580 I don't want to have an unhappy experience.

00:31:13.520 I want a pleasant experience.

00:31:16.140 Why are you...

00:31:17.180 And it's a shock of betrayal, is what it is.

00:31:20.620 This is where I sympathize with Katie Porter. 0.72

00:31:22.080 Katie Porter was raised in a political environment in which mainstream media journalists don't ask them questions.

00:31:31.780 And if they ask them questions, it's what flavor ice cream do you like?

00:31:34.820 And they don't ask follow-ups.

00:31:35.760 And now, because the political environment has changed, and because Republicans have won a unified government, but not just that, because Republicans have, basically for the first time in my lifetime, actually wielded political power to bring real pressure on the left.

00:31:52.520 Not just in government, but in the cultural institutions.

00:31:56.020 Trump has actually put pressure on big tech and on the media, and he's revoked press passes, and he's going after some of his political enemies who have broken the law.

00:32:06.420 Because they're getting a little bit tough, and they're dealing not just in wishy-washy procedural norms of liberalism, but actual substantive goods.

00:32:17.300 Katie Porter's got to answer a question. 0.99

00:32:18.880 She says, that's not what I signed up for.

00:32:22.020 I signed up... 0.87

00:32:23.220 If you sign up to be a Republican politician, you're signing up to be murdered by the left.

00:32:27.080 If you sign up to be a Democrat politician, you're signing up for a pleasant experience.

00:32:32.800 Today is the Daily Wire Plus series premiere of USS Cole Al-Qaeda strike before 9-11.

00:32:53.920 My favorite comment yesterday is from already dead 6539, who says the illegal immigrants have been dividing America more than any other time since the Civil War. 1.00

00:33:04.020 Yes and no.

00:33:05.280 The illegal aliens are the immediate cause, I guess, of the division, but they're not really the problem. 0.99

00:33:13.480 They're a problem.

00:33:15.020 I don't mean to downplay the issue of foreign nationals en masse coming into a country and not assimilating, 1.00

00:33:20.280 but they're a symptom of a bigger problem because they were let in by somebody.

00:33:25.540 And the group that is really causing the division is not some Venezuelan peasant.

00:33:29.480 And it's not even the cartel member.

00:33:31.400 It's not even the cartel member.

00:33:34.200 It's the American leftist who lets them in, who so hates his country, who so neglects the common good and only cares about private interest, 0.69

00:33:42.380 that he would let those people in.

00:33:43.980 That's the problem.

00:33:44.860 That's much more conscious.

00:33:46.020 That's a much more grievous sin.

00:33:47.340 Okay.

00:33:49.200 Close me out on Katie Porter.

00:33:51.440 I don't want this all on camera.

00:33:53.400 I don't want to have an unhappy experience with you either.

00:33:55.280 I would love to continue to ask these questions so that we can show our viewers what every candidate feels about every one of these issues that they care about.

00:34:01.820 And redistricting is a massive issue.

00:34:03.160 We're going to do an entire story just on the responses to that question.

00:34:06.060 And if I ask everybody the same follow-up question.

00:34:07.960 This is amazing.

00:34:08.660 She has, like a kindergarten teacher,

00:34:10.240 I don't want to have an unhappy experience with you either, Sally.

00:34:14.100 But you can't take all your clothes off in the middle of class and start, you know, throwing toys at the wall.

00:34:20.200 You have to behave.

00:34:21.740 You have to, you can't, that's not acceptable.

00:34:24.940 Oh, I just don't want to, I just want to do it.

00:34:27.080 Now, we're getting some corroborating evidence here.

00:34:30.080 The New York Post is reporting that Katie Porter's ex-husband, this is according to court documents,

00:34:37.180 Katie Porter's ex-husband says that she once scalded him with a pot of boiling potatoes.

00:34:43.980 I think she's got a little bit of a temper issue. 1.00

00:34:46.080 There's another video going around now.

00:34:47.700 She's setting up a shot for some kind of meeting or TV news hit.

00:34:50.780 And this is how she treats her staff. 1.00

00:34:54.440 State could lose.

00:34:56.900 Get out of my shot.

00:34:59.260 I wanted to tell you that that's actually incorrect.

00:35:01.640 It's not that it's electric vehicles.

00:35:03.860 It's that if we don't need the commitments, I do the Paris climate report.

00:35:07.800 Okay, it does.

00:35:08.840 Okay, you also were in my shot before that.

00:35:12.360 Stay out of my shot.

00:35:15.580 This makes Bill O'Reilly look like a Rastafarian man. 1.00

00:35:18.900 You remember Bill O'Reilly?

00:35:19.480 I'm like, F it, we'll do it live!

00:35:21.460 That makes him seem like Bob Marley, man.

00:35:23.560 Just, you know, it's all good, man.

00:35:25.100 It's one love.

00:35:25.760 It's all good.

00:35:27.640 Screaming.

00:35:28.060 And why was the staff member in the shot, by the way?

00:35:29.640 To correct something Katie Porter had said.

00:35:31.560 Trying to help Katie Porter.

00:35:33.240 Just goes off.

00:35:34.560 Can you imagine speaking to someone like that?

00:35:36.440 This, it's, you know, look, this is a real test of character.

00:35:39.160 And it's cliche.

00:35:40.480 I'm certainly not the first to say it.

00:35:42.420 You can tell just about everything about a person's character by how they treat waiters.

00:35:47.580 You can tell, you know, wait, 20 seconds.

00:35:53.120 You can, an extension of that is you can tell everything about a person's character by how they treat their staff and their colleagues.

00:36:00.560 And you, you can just tell.

00:36:03.000 You need, you need 10 seconds of data and you can tell what kind of person this is.

00:36:07.280 But then the, the pièce de résistance, and then we'll move on, is when Katie Porter apparently defended pedophilia on C-SPAN. 0.93

00:36:18.960 You know, this allegation of groomer and pedophile, it is alleging that a person is criminal somehow and engaged in criminal acts merely because of, of their identity.

00:36:29.720 Um, their sexual orientation, their gender identity.

00:36:33.760 Pedophilia is a sexual orientation and gender identity, according to Katie Porter.

00:36:37.180 And we, we can't be so mean to them.

00:36:41.700 LGBTQP, I guess.

00:36:44.940 Once again, the reason this is so devastating to Democrats is not because she's some freak. 0.99

00:36:50.660 She is a freak. 0.99

00:36:51.520 But she's not unrepresentative of the rest of the freaks on the left. 0.97

00:36:58.060 The left believes that.

00:36:59.440 The logical conclusion of the LGBT ideology about innate sexual desires and the impossibility of merely mental crimes. 0.98

00:37:07.860 You know, whatever you do in your own mind, it can't possibly be sinful or aberrant in any way.

00:37:13.680 Love is love.

00:37:14.820 Desires are natural.

00:37:16.180 And the consequence of all of that is, well, yeah, if someone has some aberrant desire, even one as horrifying as pedophilia, you couldn't, uh, cast dispersions on that in itself.

00:37:28.760 That's a person's identity.

00:37:30.360 Maybe they can't act on it, but, but I don't know, in some cases, maybe they can.

00:37:34.100 Some of these California Democrats, let's never forget Scott Wiener.

00:37:37.040 When he was state senator in California, his big political accomplishments were, uh, reducing punishments for pederasts, for grown men who, uh, molest teen boys, and, uh, also for reducing the punishment for knowingly giving someone HIV.

00:37:50.500 So, you know, these guys do have really, really freaky, consequential sexual, uh, legislation, but it's also just in the ideology.

00:37:59.900 That's the logical conclusion.

00:38:01.040 The, the side that's, that's eight times as likely as the other side to support political violence is probably going to be a little mean to the staff.

00:38:08.920 Yeah, that's true.

00:38:10.640 The side that believes that elections are only legitimate when they win.

00:38:14.680 Yeah, they're going to act a little entitled to journalists when journalists ask anything at all.

00:38:20.980 This is who they are.

00:38:22.520 Katie Porter is who they are.

00:38:24.140 We've seen that.

00:38:24.960 We've seen that really clearly over the last three weeks.

00:38:26.960 Why are they becoming so particularly irate now?

00:38:31.840 They're lashing out because they're losing.

00:38:34.160 They lost the government.

00:38:35.380 They don't have a, they don't have a foothold really in the federal government.

00:38:38.640 They're the minority even in the House of Representatives.

00:38:40.200 So from that, that standpoint, they could shut down the government temporarily, but otherwise they can't do anything.

00:38:45.800 And they've lost 10% of the youth vote between 2020 and 2024.

00:38:49.200 And they're losing black men and they're losing women, even young women, women under 40, and they're losing Hispanics.

00:38:54.100 And they're losing, man, this is really bad for them. 0.85

00:38:56.820 And they're not going to go down without a fight.

00:38:59.380 And when I say they're not going to go down without a fight, I don't mean that they're going to campaign harder. 0.99

00:39:03.420 I mean, they're going to try to kill you. 0.97

00:39:06.100 And there's going to be more leftist violence. 0.96

00:39:08.160 And they're going to defend Antifa.

00:39:09.540 And they're going to say that the streets should run red with the blood of their enemies.

00:39:12.020 They won't even disavow the attorney general candidate who calls for all of those things explicitly.

00:39:19.120 Here's Tim Kaine, the former future second female president of the United States.

00:39:23.300 Tim Kaine, running away from reporters, asked about Jay Jones in Virginia.

00:39:27.480 Senator, do you still support Jay Jones?

00:39:30.740 I do.

00:39:31.160 You do?

00:39:31.640 What do you, do you think you should drop out of this race after those comments?

00:39:34.680 No, I just, I just answered your question.

00:39:37.780 Do you have concerns about what you saw?

00:39:40.080 The comments are completely indefensible.

00:39:44.180 I've known Jay Jones for 25 years, and those comments are very much out of character for him.

00:39:49.180 So if I put the comments, which are clearly beyond the pale, against knowing this guy for 25 years, I'm still a supporter of Jay Jones.

00:39:57.580 What do you think about Republicans today?

00:39:59.640 Oh, brutal.

00:40:01.340 You almost feel bad for Tim Kaine.

00:40:03.040 I don't, but you almost do.

00:40:05.360 Because he's walking, he's trying to avoid the question.

00:40:07.320 I don't want to answer the question, don't want to answer.

00:40:08.860 And then what happens?

00:40:10.480 It's just, he realizes it's just so bad.

00:40:13.060 And he turns, he says, the comments are indefensible.

00:40:15.240 I don't support murdering Republicans and their kids.

00:40:18.780 But I do support it because I won't withdraw my endorsement of Jay Jones.

00:40:23.220 I support Jay Jones.

00:40:24.780 You see this?

00:40:25.740 So it's just words.

00:40:27.200 Some Democrats, many Democrats won't even say that there's anything wrong with his words. 0.99

00:40:32.320 Because many Democrats explicitly support political violence and agree with Jay Jones that you and your kids should be murdered.

00:40:38.320 Some who have a little bit more political sense and maybe a conscience, but at least political sense. 0.52

00:40:44.200 They say, well, these comments are completely indefensible, but I'm still going to support Jay Jones.

00:40:50.080 So practically speaking, they're still supporting that.

00:40:54.360 I've known him for 25 years.

00:40:56.220 Those comments are out of character.

00:40:58.740 No, maybe they're in character because he said it apparently repeatedly.

00:41:02.680 So there's no denying that is his character.

00:41:04.640 And you have a choice.

00:41:06.240 Are you going to support that?

00:41:07.420 Are you going to follow your party in this direction?

00:41:09.180 Or are you going to stand up for what's right? 0.97

00:41:11.320 And Tim Kaine, he says, yeah, nope, I'm with the guy who wants to murder the Republicans and their kids.

00:41:18.160 Nancy Pelosi, CNN, same thing.

00:41:19.620 A scandal over text messages in which he, the Democrat, said that the GOP speaker of the House of Delegates should get two bullets to the head for how he paid tribute to a former moderate Democratic lawmaker who died.

00:41:36.520 He has apologized.

00:41:38.260 Should he get out of the race?

00:41:41.180 Well, that's up to the people, the leaders in Virginia.

00:41:45.460 They have said he has apologized.

00:41:47.800 What I understand is they say that on balance, he's the better person to be attorney general.

00:41:53.220 But that's up to them.

00:41:54.680 But I wish there would be enough fuss of all the times that people have said they were going to put a bullet in my head right in public. 0.99

00:42:00.660 Ah, so he said he wants to murder a Republican opponent and his children.

00:42:08.960 And this is coming out after a leftist actually did murder the most prominent civil debater in the entire country.

00:42:15.580 And after my party justified, minimized, and even celebrated it.

00:42:20.820 But he's still not a Republican, at least, so I have to support him.

00:42:26.900 That's what she's saying. 0.98

00:42:27.780 Better to have a Democrat who would murder half the country and their kids. 1.00

00:42:31.060 Than any Republican. 0.96

00:42:34.340 Well, he's the better candidate in the race.

00:42:36.780 Has he the better candidate?

00:42:37.520 Because he's got a D next to his name.

00:42:39.620 So I support him.

00:42:41.160 That's up to the people of Virginia.

00:42:42.600 First of all, kind of, sort of, not really.

00:42:45.000 You get donations from outside the state.

00:42:46.980 Many of Nancy Pelosi's colleagues who are not from Virginia are endorsing in this race.

00:42:52.320 Cory Booker up in the Senate is endorsing Virginia.

00:42:54.200 Is Virginia the same state as New Jersey?

00:42:55.800 I don't think so.

00:42:57.700 Yeah.

00:42:58.180 And anyway, I just want to talk about me.

00:43:02.040 Why are we talking about the real left-wing violence against Republicans that is actually happening when we could talk about imaginary right-wing violence against me?

00:43:10.380 Seriously?

00:43:13.900 Yeah, but that's what they always do.

00:43:15.120 This is the Seth Moulton response.

00:43:17.100 Yeah, I know. 0.80

00:43:18.100 With your eyes, you're seeing all these leftists murdering Republicans and talking about how they want to murder Republicans and celebrating the murder of Republicans.

00:43:24.000 But really, secretly, super-duper secretly, most of the political violence is from the right.

00:43:32.160 Can you show your dad on that?

00:43:33.340 No, no thanks.

00:43:34.120 No, we're good.

00:43:34.920 But just trust me.

00:43:36.120 Trust me, bro.

00:43:37.800 I want to talk about me.

00:43:39.280 I want to...

00:43:39.940 Final point on this.

00:43:41.660 CNN's Erin Burnett has just come out and not merely defended Jay Jones or Tim Kaine or Nancy Pelosi.

00:43:50.240 It's come out on CNN and defended Antifa.

00:43:55.100 And Trump's Secretary of Homeland Security actually took that further.

00:43:58.300 This network of Antifa is just as sophisticated as MS-13, as TDA, as ISIS, as Hezbollah, as Hamas, as all of them.

00:44:09.440 They are just as dangerous.

00:44:13.120 That's pretty incredible, right?

00:44:14.260 Hamas has just been engaged in a two-year war that we just announced the first stage of a peace plan to a few moments ago. 0.58

00:44:20.320 And ISIS?

00:44:21.760 These are incredible things to say.

00:44:23.620 And obviously, I'm not going to sit here and defend anybody who considers themselves part of an Antifa movement such that it is.

00:44:31.580 But...

00:44:31.960 Such that it is is the operative part of that sentence.

00:44:33.920 Antifa is far from a major sophisticated terror organization like Hezbollah, Hamas, or ISIS.

00:44:39.620 In fact, it's not even like far-right groups like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, which have had national leaders, unlike Antifa.

00:44:46.480 There is no organized hierarchy to the group.

00:44:48.680 And according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies, compared to right-wing extremists, Antifa-linked violence is rare and limited.

00:44:55.980 Yeah, according to Antifa.com, Antifa doesn't commit any crimes.

00:45:01.460 Yeah, so actually, it's not a big deal, first of all, to her point.

00:45:05.760 She says, Antifa, oh, Antifa, you can't compare Antifa to Hamas and Hezbollah and ISIS.

00:45:10.360 Yeah, I guess you're right.

00:45:11.040 That's true.

00:45:12.860 Antifa is a much greater danger to Americans than Hamas and Hezbollah and ISIS. 0.96

00:45:18.180 A much greater danger.

00:45:19.560 It's not even close.

00:45:21.500 Because Hamas and Hezbollah and ISIS, all very bad guys. 0.97

00:45:25.320 We are civilization.

00:45:26.080 We've been fighting jihadis for a long time, about 1,400 years now.

00:45:29.220 But generally speaking, when they threaten Americans, it's in the Middle East. 0.80

00:45:34.700 They threaten us here on the homeland sometimes, no doubt about it. 1.00

00:45:37.100 But not a lot.

00:45:39.860 Antifa is here.

00:45:40.920 And while ISIS threatens the United States, as any geopolitical adversary might, Antifa threatens our whole political order.

00:45:51.600 Antifa threatens to bring about not merely a war against the United States nations to fight wars, but a civil war.

00:45:57.980 Antifa, they don't, they're barely even an organization.

00:46:02.520 They don't, there's no unity to Antifa.

00:46:04.040 I mean, yeah, they have uniforms and flags and a common name and a common set of beliefs.

00:46:09.460 And they meet up in cells, often in bookshops, and they carry out fairly sophisticated acts of terror regularly.

00:46:16.180 But they're not like a real thing.

00:46:19.580 Like the Proud Boys, you know when like Gavin McGinnis would hang out with dudes and tell jokes and wave American flags?

00:46:25.560 That was a much greater threat to America than the Antifa militants who constantly set off bombs, shoot people, threaten to murder us, and are defended by CNN.

00:46:38.560 Frankly, this has been going on even since before Antifa became a cohesive brand identity, which was after the Second World War.

00:46:44.340 But going back to 1919, 1920, you had anarchist and communist bombings in America from the radical left against immigration restrictionists and law enforcement and business leaders sound familiar?

00:46:56.760 All the way up through the 60s, 70s, 80s, all the way up to the present.

00:47:01.340 Defending Antifa.

00:47:02.500 So this is the problem.

00:47:03.780 This is the point I made yesterday on the show.

00:47:06.120 I wish we could kumbaya, man.

00:47:08.480 I, you know, I'm all for civil discussion.

00:47:10.540 I love it.

00:47:10.740 I just went on Adam Friedland's show.

00:47:12.360 He's a left winger, a very funny guy.

00:47:13.640 I had a great time on his show.

00:47:15.000 We had a, we, we had a good time.

00:47:16.420 It's on his YouTube channel somewhere.

00:47:18.580 I'm all for hanging out with the libs and trying to talk it out and being tough, but not, you know, being civilized.

00:47:24.440 I'm all for it.

00:47:25.180 I wish we could do that.

00:47:26.200 We can.

00:47:27.000 You can in certain isolated instances.

00:47:28.760 This guy can go on this guy's show.

00:47:29.960 We can have this debate with this person.

00:47:31.200 But for the political order, if you, if you have very prominent voices and institutions, as in the case of CNN, defending domestic terrorism, defending the murder of half the country.

00:47:46.220 If you have the top law enforcement official in Virginia doing that with the entire Democratic Party behind him, he doesn't lose a single endorsement.

00:47:51.100 When you have that kind of situation, there's no kumbaya.

00:47:54.500 There's no possibility.

00:47:55.340 Your opponent has a say.

00:47:57.360 And so there are two options.

00:47:58.680 There's more private violence, which is what the left is giving us, and which is, generally speaking, unjust.

00:48:03.860 Or there's state violence.

00:48:04.960 And the state violence is the civil authority coming in and arresting the bad guys and suppressing them.

00:48:09.440 And in some cases, the civil institutions, deplatforming people and circumscribing what can be said and argued in a just and prudent way.

00:48:19.180 Those are your options.

00:48:21.480 There's so much more I want to get to.

00:48:23.900 The United States is deporting people to Eswatini.

00:48:27.240 But I can't get to that today.

00:48:29.600 Eswatini is your tease until tomorrow. 1.00

00:48:31.440 Because I have a great guest coming out on the member blog.
