00:02:10.740 Oopsie daisy.
00:02:11.400 I'm Michael Knowles.
00:02:12.020 This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:02:12.720 Welcome back to the show.
00:02:33.000 A heartwarming video.
00:02:34.440 A guy on a New York City subway stands up to a subway predator.
00:02:39.140 And there's actually a lot to learn about this.
00:02:41.120 There's even a lot to learn about the predator.
00:02:43.660 All these videos always end up being terribly sad.
00:02:47.380 Either someone's victimized successfully or someone stands up to the perpetrator and then the guy who stands up goes to jail for 50 years.
00:02:55.040 And in this case, this is a good one.
00:02:56.820 A successful standing up to a predator on a subway.
00:03:00.600 There's a lot to learn as to why it worked.
00:03:02.580 We'll get to that momentarily.
00:03:03.600 First, I want to tell you about Armra.

00:04:19.360 Let us begin with the most horrifying, disturbing story.
00:04:23.620 I'm going to avoid some of the really graphic details and just got to give a hat tip to Andy Ngo here.
00:04:30.520 The greatest reporter on Antifa and the far left probably in the universe.
00:04:35.840 Andy Ngo nabs the details on an Australian journalist who was charged with leading an international satanic child sex abuse material ring.
00:04:47.420 No hyperbole there at all.
00:04:51.180 I'm actually just reading from the report.
00:04:53.140 I'm reading from the charges.
00:04:55.900 An Australian journalist promoting LGBT, LMNOP stuff, leads a, not just a child sex abuse ring, a child sex abuse material ring, once known as child pornography.
00:05:10.520 And not even just child pornography, satanic child sex abuse material.
00:05:16.400 What are the deets?
00:05:17.820 The details are that these suspects, one of whom is an Australian left-wing journalist, distributed child sex and animal abuse content that specifically featured occult ritual themes.
00:05:33.280 Not just your regular atheist child sexual abuse material, no, no, no, no, specifically occult, demonic, satanic themes, which is what it always comes down to.
00:05:44.900 The journalist and queer activist is named Landon Germanotta-Mills.
00:05:51.620 He runs the underground media network news site on Substack.
00:05:55.720 And what he focuses on specifically is trying to expose racism, to expose victims, the way that our system works to punish people of certain races and sexes, even children perhaps.
00:06:14.680 That's what he focuses on, and yet, in his private life, he's running the most egregious kind of crime, the most egregious kind of oppression, I don't know, targeting the most vulnerable kind of victims that there are.
00:06:32.440 So, he's being accused of running a distribution hub for thousands of pieces of this content, as well as bestiality content.
00:06:41.880 And on top of it all, not only does he pretend to stand up for the vulnerable and the oppressed, and yet, he's one of the cruelest victimizers of the most innocent victims.
00:06:51.660 Let's even just focus in on how he's an animal rights activist.
00:06:55.480 So, he's an animal rights activist, there's a picture of him, you know, with a sign talking about how these poor animals are being denied access to water and bathing, and, you know, he's out there defending the animals.
00:07:07.060 And then, he distributes material that involves the abuse, not just of human children, but of animals.
00:07:14.680 How does that make sense?
00:07:16.440 On the one hand, he marches, he demonstrates for the protection of animals.
00:07:21.140 On the other hand, he gets off to torturing animals, and promotes their torture through pornography.
00:07:27.780 How do you make sense of that?
00:07:30.260 First of all, should go without saying at this point, it's always the ones you most expect.
00:07:35.680 This is not a man bites dog story.
00:07:38.220 Guy who has bizarre, freaky, deviant sexual obsessions, does bizarre, freaky, deviant sexual things.
00:07:46.160 That is not the stop-the-presses kind of story.
00:07:50.140 Yeah, yes, right.
00:07:53.400 When there are groups devoted to particularly aberrant, weird sex, probably it's a good idea for investigators to take a little peek into what they're doing.
00:08:03.440 Because probably more often than many people might expect, it is in fact the case that some of their freaky, deviant sexual stuff crosses the line into illegality.
00:08:13.160 Illegality, yeah, of course.
00:08:15.040 But I want to take a more dispassionate view of this.
00:08:19.920 People don't understand how it is that you could say, we need to defend, even forget about the kids part, which is obviously the most horrifying.
00:08:26.940 Just focus on the animal abuse part.
00:08:29.500 How is it that you go out and say, we need to defend animals and stop animal abuse and then promote animal abuse on your porn site?
00:08:36.880 So, we get our answer from Aristotle, actually.
00:08:42.500 What is it, we're five minutes into the show now?
00:08:44.040 That might be the earliest Aristotle has ever come up on the show, despite his being mentioned daily.
00:08:50.760 Aristotle and many other people have observed there are two kinds of virtues.
00:08:55.540 There are intellectual virtues and there are moral virtues.
00:09:01.020 So, intellectual virtues involve things that you know.
00:09:04.940 And it can involve practical wisdom, for instance.
00:09:07.860 But then there are moral virtues.
00:09:10.500 Virtues like courage, generosity.
00:09:15.120 The virtues of character, of habit, that typify the things that you do habitually.
00:09:22.380 Those two things are not the same.
00:09:24.260 One does not necessarily imply the other.
00:09:28.060 You see this especially with religion.
00:09:30.020 And this is where I think it's really relevant to a lot of us.
00:09:33.960 You can know everything about religion.
00:09:39.080 You can't know everything about God.
00:09:40.760 But you can know basically everything that a human being can know about religion.
00:09:44.020 You can have a triple PhD in theology.
00:09:47.020 And you can go to hell.
00:09:47.920 Knowing a lot about religion does not imply that you are actually doing religion properly.
00:09:56.920 You can have read every book by Hans Urs von Balthasar and St. Athanasius and everybody in between.
00:10:04.520 And you can also just sin all the time and not have repentance and not avail yourself of the sacraments and not pray.
00:10:09.020 That's entirely possible.
00:10:11.540 And it is not enough to know.
00:10:13.600 The Gnostic view of religion and politics and human nature says that all you need to do is get the secret knowledge.
00:10:19.160 This is what a lot of conspiracy theories appeal to.
00:10:21.780 And this is why conspiracy theories are particularly popular in particularly Gnostic ages.
00:10:27.020 It's because a conspiracy theory tells you you don't have to do anything.
00:10:30.880 You just have to know the secret knowledge.
00:10:33.140 And once you are initiated into the secret knowledge, then you have a special place.
00:10:37.980 In a way, you are saved from the corruption of the world.
00:10:41.060 Corruption which in some ways impels and gives rise to conspiracy theories.
00:10:45.420 And corruption which is real.
00:10:46.580 There is real corruption.
00:10:48.060 But that's not enough.
00:10:49.140 Knowing is not enough.
00:10:50.120 You actually have to do it.
00:10:53.460 And that's what's going on with this guy.
00:10:57.300 This guy, allegedly, I have to say allegedly, of course.
00:11:00.660 This guy knows that it's at least he knows it's wrong to abuse animals.
00:11:04.580 He might not know it's wrong to abuse kids, but he knows it's wrong to abuse animals.
00:11:08.200 And he does it anyway.
00:11:11.220 Because he has not cultivated those moral virtues.
00:11:15.240 And the two are really supposed to go together.
00:11:16.860 This is why when we educate kids, we're supposed to educate them not just to know they're two plus two equals four.
00:11:22.600 But also to be polite to their elders.
00:11:24.840 But also to be diligent about their work.
00:11:27.220 Also to eat in a measured way.
00:11:30.080 And not be sloppy.
00:11:31.340 And not be messy.
00:11:32.240 Not be.
00:11:32.780 Because if you want to have a functioning society.
00:11:37.100 If you want to have a functioning person.
00:11:38.360 You have to know things.
00:11:39.800 And you have to have the discipline to do the right thing.
00:11:43.020 Which is why freedom is not, as we all pretend, just choosing.
00:11:47.280 But freedom is, in fact, willing, which is based on knowing.
00:11:52.880 That's where it comes from.
00:11:54.900 You can choose the liberal version of freedom.
00:11:56.580 But you might end up like this freak journalist in Australia, doing horrible things.
00:12:01.180 And at least one hopes being held to account.
00:12:03.820 Speaking of practical virtue, I'll give you a great example of this.
00:12:06.600 There's a guy in a New York City subway who sees another guy go up to a passenger and start harassing him.
00:12:14.420 So this predator comes in the subway and says, hey, what you looking at?
00:12:17.400 Hey, what you looking at?
00:12:18.200 Who are you smiling at?
00:12:19.860 And he's harassing this guy.
00:12:20.980 And the guy on the subway is just trying to ignore him.
00:12:23.000 And then enter our hero who starts filming this.
00:12:26.780 And he goes, hey, hey, hey, why are you talking to that guy?
00:12:29.340 Why are you trying to pick on that guy?
00:12:30.600 How about you talk to me instead?
00:12:34.600 Bro, he's not worried about you.
00:12:36.020 He's smiling, living his life.
00:12:37.440 You want to bother him.
00:12:38.780 Pick on somebody that's like that.
00:12:40.120 I'm like that.
00:12:41.300 Ask me while I'm smiling at you.
00:12:43.040 Ha, ha, ha, I'm smiling at you.
00:12:44.780 Ask me that.
00:12:45.800 The fuck you want to ask somebody that's not doing shit, minding his business?
00:12:48.940 Ask me.
00:12:50.120 I'm like that.
00:12:50.880 No, no, you threaten him.
00:12:52.900 I've seen that.
00:12:53.460 I'm like that.
00:12:53.980 Ask me.
00:12:54.660 Ask me why I'm smiling at you like that.
00:12:56.600 Ask me why I'm smiling at you like that.
00:12:58.500 Oh, all right.
00:12:59.620 You pick and choose your battles.
00:13:01.560 He was minding his business, not even paying you no fucking mind.
00:13:04.000 He's a bitch.
00:13:05.340 He's a bitch.
00:13:06.020 He's a bitch.
00:13:06.900 And I hope you know that.
00:13:08.120 Okay.
00:13:08.860 Exactly.
00:13:10.860 Love it.
00:13:11.680 Give this guy the keys to the city.
00:13:13.680 I love this.
00:13:14.340 This is a beautiful video.
00:13:15.720 What is he saying to him?
00:13:17.460 We don't, obviously, he starts recording after the incident occurs.
00:13:21.580 But the alleged perpetrator here doesn't dispute the details of the incident.
00:13:26.660 What happened?
00:13:27.260 The guy comes on.
00:13:28.500 And I, man, I've ridden a lot of New York subways for a long time.
00:13:33.160 And you see this kind of guy.
00:13:34.580 Some crazy guy comes on.
00:13:36.840 Not even necessarily crazy.
00:13:38.280 Just undisciplined.
00:13:39.200 Just vicious.
00:13:40.080 Just a guy who wasn't raised right.
00:13:42.500 And he comes on.
00:13:44.300 And often, he'll put his music really loud.
00:13:48.020 Often, he'll start making a scene.
00:13:49.540 He'll be acting in ways to get negative attention.
00:13:51.640 And then the moment anyone even looks at him, that's what he wants.
00:13:55.300 He turns.
00:13:55.680 He goes, yeah, what you looking at?
00:13:56.800 Yeah.
00:13:57.080 What you looking at?
00:13:57.680 Get over here.
00:13:59.080 Yeah.
00:13:59.660 Go.
00:13:59.780 And often, there is a racial element to it.
00:14:02.040 It just is.
00:14:02.960 It's just practically, that's how it goes.
00:14:04.320 What you looking at, white boy?
00:14:05.620 What you looking at?
00:14:07.120 And the guy.
00:14:08.660 It's not always a white guy.
00:14:09.720 But he looks.
00:14:10.940 He's like, no, nothing.
00:14:11.860 Not me.
00:14:12.280 Nothing.
00:14:12.720 Yeah.
00:14:13.160 What do you have?
00:14:13.540 Come on.
00:14:14.080 He's just looking.
00:14:14.740 And the guy's just trying to pick a fight.
00:14:16.840 So in this case, someone else intervenes.
00:14:20.480 He goes, hey, hey.
00:14:21.700 What are you doing?
00:14:23.980 And in this case, the guy who's intervening is obviously black.
00:14:26.520 You can hear it from his voice.
00:14:27.440 He goes, what are you doing?
00:14:30.580 Why are you picking a fight with that guy?
00:14:33.620 How about you pick a fight with me instead?
00:14:36.380 You want to pick a fight with me?
00:14:37.640 Because that guy is just minding his own business.
00:14:40.020 And you look to that guy up.
00:14:41.560 And through your prejudice, which is accurate prejudice, you realize that guy doesn't want
00:14:45.340 to fight you.
00:14:46.640 And he will do everything he can to avoid fighting you and avoid conflict.
00:14:49.980 So you picked on him because he's an easy target.
00:14:52.060 But look at me.
00:14:53.020 I'm crazy.
00:14:53.940 I'm a crazy guy.
00:14:54.960 I'm the kind of guy who starts filming predators on subways and starts picking fights with
00:14:58.740 them.
00:14:59.660 So how about you talk to me?
00:15:01.480 You didn't like that he was smiling at you?
00:15:03.120 I'm smiling at you.
00:15:04.180 Tee hee hee hee.
00:15:05.220 Ha ha ha ha.
00:15:06.260 You're going to pick a fight with me?
00:15:08.460 Someone who you are assessing right now is obviously not averse to conflict.
00:15:12.880 I love conflict.
00:15:13.880 Go ahead.
00:15:14.340 Make my day.
00:15:15.280 You want to?
00:15:15.560 No, you don't.
00:15:16.660 You're a B-I-T-C-H is what you are.
00:15:18.700 And then I love my favorite line in there.
00:15:20.180 He goes, and I hope you know that.
00:15:22.240 I hope you know that because you're about to go viral.
00:15:25.960 But the most important line in there is not even I hope you know that or you're a B-I-T-C-H.
00:15:31.600 The most important line in there is he says, you pick your targets.
00:15:37.000 You pick your targets very carefully and you pick weak targets.
00:15:40.520 You pick a fight that you know 100% of the time you're going to win.
00:15:47.680 And sometimes, look, that works for you all the time.
00:15:50.420 Sometimes, though, other people are going to intervene.
00:15:53.120 And there are a lot of political lessons here.
00:15:55.320 And really, this one, maybe I'm going to get in trouble for this.
00:16:00.440 I actually want our side of the aisle.
00:16:03.660 I want us to learn the political lesson mostly from the perpetrator, actually.
00:16:08.160 Because the perpetrator is smart in his own way.
00:16:11.200 There's a meta-political lesson.
00:16:12.840 There's an overarching one.
00:16:14.080 How did the guy who intervened get away with this?
00:16:17.140 He only got away with it because he's black.
00:16:18.700 Had a white guy come in there and started filming a black alleged perpetrator and say,
00:16:26.140 hey, man.
00:16:27.100 Let's say he's like a southern marine white guy.
00:16:29.280 Let's say he's like Daniel Penny.
00:16:30.520 I don't know.
00:16:31.000 He's like a marine.
00:16:32.160 He's a tough guy.
00:16:33.620 He's trying to protect people.
00:16:34.860 That guy would go to jail.
00:16:36.680 Let's say he's just some like a southern white guy.
00:16:39.520 And he comes and goes, hey, man, you better knock that off.
00:16:42.100 Stop there.
00:16:42.760 Stop interviewing.
00:16:43.280 That guy would be immediately branded as a Nazi, as a neo-Confederate,
00:16:47.840 as a Klansman by all of the liberal media outlets.
00:16:51.180 The New York Times would run 150 think pieces on it in a week.
00:16:54.580 That guy's life would be ruined.
00:16:55.800 So the only way that this guy goes viral and doesn't have his life ruined and gets
00:16:59.920 some plaudits, actually, is because he himself is a black guy.
00:17:03.780 And that's just a fact of our political order.
00:17:05.540 Doesn't in any way diminish that guy's courage.
00:17:07.620 That guy's awesome.
00:17:08.400 I want him to get the keys to the city.
00:17:10.820 But it tells you something about our political order.
00:17:13.160 There are racial hierarchies within our elite society, and certain people are treated differently
00:17:20.860 than other people.
00:17:21.480 That's a fact.
00:17:22.200 The other lesson I want to take from this is from the predator himself.
00:17:27.800 Who does pick his targets carefully?
00:17:31.100 All of us in politics need to pick our targets carefully.
00:17:35.180 We need to pick battles that we know we can win.
00:17:38.520 And we need to pick weak people as our political enemies when we really want to go in and get
00:17:44.920 them.
00:17:45.060 This is advice that comes all the way from Baudelaire up through the wire, which is if
00:17:49.640 you come at the king, you best not miss.
00:17:51.280 You got to pick weak targets, and you got to pick issues that we can win on.
00:17:55.860 And you can try to drag in the less popular issues, too.
00:17:58.360 But when you go in for the political rhetorical kill, you got to pick big winning issues.
00:18:03.380 Trump is very good at that.
00:18:05.440 This is how Trump has put Democrats on the wrong side of virtually every 80-20 issue in
00:18:08.900 the country.
00:18:10.920 Much to learn about it, though.
00:18:12.560 Acknowledge political reality to begin with, and then pick weak targets.
00:18:16.920 Yeah, pick weak.
00:18:17.520 Not in an unjust way like the perpetrator's doing here, but within the confines of justice
00:18:23.080 and the constitutional order and apple pie and hot dogs on the 4th of July.
00:18:26.620 We got to pick weak targets.
00:18:28.600 We have to pummel them into the dirt.
00:18:30.460 We have to completely destroy them.
00:18:31.960 We need to gain more political power.
00:18:35.180 And that's the only way that you're going to transform the political order for the better.
00:18:38.020 Okay, speaking of identity politics and MSNBC, MSNBC has just made an unbelievable accidental
00:18:45.800 admission.
00:18:46.680 The admission is that mass migration promoted by the left constitutes ethnic cleansing.
00:18:55.100 A great replacement, you might say.
00:18:57.140 We'll get to that in a second.
00:18:57.900 First, I want to tell you about Done With Debt.

00:19:13.020 Here's something most people don't realize.
00:19:14.680 This time of year creates a unique opportunity.
00:19:17.100 As the year winds down, credit card companies and lenders are rushing to close their books.
00:19:21.180 They're settling past due accounts, writing off bad debt, cleaning up their new records
00:19:25.280 before the new year hits.
00:19:26.420 If you're carrying credit card debt or unpaid bills, creditors are often more willing to
00:19:30.820 negotiate right now.
00:19:33.000 You might actually have more leverage than you think.
00:19:35.360 That is where Done With Debt comes in.

00:19:59.240 Which a lot of people are.
00:19:59.900 It's kind of how the system's set up right now.

00:20:11.900 MSNBC.
00:20:12.400 It's now called MSNOW, but it's the same network.
00:20:15.440 MSNBC.
00:20:16.100 There's that woman, Nicole Wallace, goes out, interviews some lib, and they decry Trump's mass
00:20:22.780 deportations, and they say the mass deportations are not just unjust, not just unconstitutional,
00:20:29.200 not just racist.
00:20:30.420 Actually, the mass deportations of illegal aliens from this country constitute ethnic cleansing.
00:20:37.040 Very few of the people being rounded up are actually guilty of any crimes.
00:20:43.720 I mean, there are some, and that's where the public support is.
00:20:46.620 But the vast majority of people they're deporting have committed the civil offense of being here illegally,
00:20:51.560 and some of them not even that.
00:20:53.100 Yeah, some of them are American citizens.
00:20:54.900 I think what's really important to contextualize this in the big picture,
00:20:57.960 which is the White House is embracing ethnic cleansing.
00:21:00.920 I mean, that is what is happening here.
00:21:02.280 This is make America white again, and it's sort of by any means necessary.
00:21:07.160 It's under the auspices of immigration reform and getting the garbage out,
00:21:11.580 but it's really about targeting black and brown people and allowing white Afrikaners into the country.
00:21:16.260 I mean, that's literally, those are the priorities of this administration.
00:21:19.580 Okay.
00:21:21.500 Before we get into the specific charge that the White House is engaging in ethnic cleansing
00:21:27.060 and wants to make America white again, whatever,
00:21:29.960 let's just get to her claim.
00:21:31.600 She says it is ethnic cleansing to change the demographics of a country by kicking people out.
00:21:41.240 What, therefore, would we call it when you change the demographics of a country by bringing people in?
00:21:49.980 What phrase would we necessarily have to use for that?
00:21:53.420 It would appear that MSNBC is now embracing not only the notion of the great replacement theory,
00:22:02.220 which we're told is a horribly racist conspiracy theory.
00:22:05.620 It would appear that MSNBC is going even further and saying that the mass migration policy pushed by Democrats
00:22:12.920 constitutes an ethnic cleansing of Americans.
00:22:15.900 That is the only conclusion we can come to, according to their logic.
00:22:22.860 They say, well, when you radically change the, or even moderately, as would be the case with mass deportations,
00:22:28.540 when you in any way change the demographics of a nation through an intentional policy,
00:22:35.660 you are engaging in ethnic cleansing.
00:22:38.100 So whether you do it by kicking people out or bringing people in, that would be immaterial.
00:22:46.000 The result, the thing that constitutes the actual ethnic cleansing, would be precisely the same.
00:22:53.860 And when they tell us what they're doing, I guess we ought to believe them.
00:22:58.260 They say it is an ethnic cleansing.
00:23:03.680 Okay.
00:23:04.220 Then they say that's what the White House is engaging in.
00:23:06.340 Now, again, what the White House is doing is something that every president up until,
00:23:13.860 I was going to say up until Barack Obama, but even including much of Barack Obama's administration,
00:23:20.960 every president, maybe up until Joe Biden, you would have to say,
00:23:24.100 did and said that they were doing, which is we need to kick out people who have no right to be here
00:23:30.360 because the immigration law is one of the most basic laws in the country.
00:23:33.960 If a country can't determine who comes in, then you're not even a country.
00:23:37.520 You're not even a nation.
00:23:38.440 You don't have a border.
00:23:39.680 So that's all the White House is doing.
00:23:42.740 It involves mass deportations instead of minor deportations now
00:23:45.820 because the Democrats ushered in so many illegals.
00:23:49.820 And then they go further.
00:23:52.060 They say they want to make America white again.
00:23:55.160 Again, no evidence of that whatsoever.
00:23:57.040 The one example they're using, bringing in a small number of white Afrikaners from South Africa,
00:24:02.500 would by if they actually believed their own ideological criteria,
00:24:07.000 would be one of the clearest examples of people we should bring in.
00:24:09.720 Because what the libs always say is that we need to bring in people because they're refugees.
00:24:13.740 Now, they're not really refugees.
00:24:15.040 99 plus percent of the illegal aliens that they bring in are economic migrants.
00:24:20.400 They're not just fleeing political persecution in a place like Venezuela or Nicaragua.
00:24:25.100 They're coming here because they want to make money.
00:24:27.040 The proof of that is they don't stop in any of the many countries along the way before they get to America.
00:24:32.080 And they don't stop there because those other countries are poor and America's rich.
00:24:34.840 And they want to come here and they want to, best case scenario, make a lot of money on their own.
00:24:39.060 And more frequently, they want to just use our welfare systems.
00:24:41.720 But if you do care about refugees, then look at South Africa where they chant that they want to kill the bower,
00:24:48.240 kill the farmer, shoot to kill.
00:24:49.780 And you have these mass murders of the white farmers here because they are white.
00:24:55.080 They're as oppressed and persecuted a group seeking refuge as anyone you could pick.
00:24:59.960 The reason MSNBC doesn't like them is because they're white.
00:25:02.580 So then it comes to this racial politics.
00:25:04.400 And then it raises a further question because the Trump administration manifestly is not trying to make America white again.
00:25:13.520 However, what if they were?
00:25:16.680 America was, what, 90% white for all of our history?
00:25:20.400 And then after 1965, the Democrats had a massive shift in their immigration law.
00:25:25.860 And they specifically tried to bring in fewer white people and bring in a lot of non-white people.
00:25:30.900 And that changed the demographics of the country such that the country now is about 60% white and the numbers keep declining.
00:25:36.340 In part because we don't bring in white people, or many white people, but also largely because white people don't have kids.
00:25:42.720 So if we remain agnostic on this question of whether that is good or bad, I guess we would have to ask, why is it good?
00:25:51.500 Why does the left always celebrate when America becomes more non-white, black, brown, Asian, subcontinental, whatever?
00:26:01.120 Why do they celebrate that as a positively good thing?
00:26:04.360 But why do they say it is absolutely beyond the pale and hateful if someone were to want to make it more white?
00:26:10.240 Because what it comes down to is not a matter of ethnic cleansing, to use their phrase.
00:26:16.980 It's not even a matter of changing the demographics.
00:26:21.340 What it comes down to for these people is white, bad, non-white good.
00:26:26.240 That's what it's coming down to.
00:26:29.080 And they're admitting that.
00:26:32.140 They're admitting that now.
00:26:33.620 And so we all say that we find that ugly.
00:26:36.000 Even on the left, they kind of say that they find that ugly, even though they're advancing it.
00:26:41.740 But if that is where the political fight is right now, then it seems kind of silly to decry tribalism or to decry racial identity politics in the abstract.
00:26:52.760 Because we have it.
00:26:53.680 We just have that.
00:26:55.160 You know, in a battle, your opponent gets a say.
00:26:56.860 And the left wants that.
00:26:57.880 And the left has made that their top political priority.
00:27:00.200 And the left is now admitting to ethnic cleansing on MSNBC, okay?
00:27:04.360 I don't know how much more blunt they could be about it.
00:27:07.800 And so you can either ignore it and bury your head in the stand.
00:27:11.040 Or you could kind of ape them.
00:27:13.920 You could become a mirror image of them and engage in many of the same mistaken philosophical premises and political premises that they're engaging in.
00:27:22.700 And you could be, I don't know, become a brown shirt or a black shirt or something like that.
00:27:26.920 Or you could deal substantively with the issues of immigration and say, no, we don't want a lot of immigration because that creates political problems.
00:27:37.700 And actually, some groups are more easy to assimilate than others.
00:27:40.480 And it's a lot easier to assimilate English people than it is to assimilate Somalis.
00:27:45.880 And that is because they believe things.
00:27:49.480 The English are closer to us in belief.
00:27:51.620 The English are closer to us in their language.
00:27:56.660 Maybe that's the one thing that separates us, actually, is the English language.
00:28:00.700 The English are closer to us in their traditions and their institutions.
00:28:05.200 We come from England.
00:28:06.380 And the English are closer to us in how they look.
00:28:10.900 That's part of it.
00:28:12.280 That's true in every other country in the world.
00:28:14.140 And that's true here.
00:28:15.060 And it doesn't mean that you can't assimilate people.
00:28:16.940 Well, obviously, assimilation can be done well and can even be good.
00:28:21.940 I mean, Ruth assimilates from the Moabites into the Israelites, and she's in the genealogy of Christ.
00:28:27.440 So it can happen.
00:28:28.620 But we have to be careful about it.
00:28:29.900 And we have to acknowledge some groups are easier to assimilate than others.
00:28:33.580 Some groups are really helpful to America.
00:28:35.420 Some groups are not really helpful to America.
00:28:37.160 And we do need to make distinctions.
00:28:40.260 And everyone's already doing it, or at least the left is already doing it.
00:28:44.720 And so we can either ignore that or we can deal with it seriously.
00:28:48.100 You see this going on.
00:28:49.420 What is going on in Minneapolis right now could have been a Monty Python or Saturday Night Live sketch 20 years ago.
00:28:57.320 Instead, it is the political reality out there.
00:28:59.160 We'll get to it in a second.
00:28:59.900 First, I want to tell you about Preborn.
00:29:00.880 Go to preborn.com slash Knowles.
00:29:02.960 This Christmas season, you could help change a life.
00:29:05.580 Two lives, actually.
00:29:06.660 Picture a young woman who just found out she's pregnant.
00:29:08.800 She wasn't expecting it.
00:29:10.040 She's scared.
00:29:10.840 Maybe she doesn't have much support.
00:29:12.240 She's not sure what her options are.
00:29:14.040 That is exactly who our sponsors, Preborn Ministries, are there for.
00:29:19.040 They offer free ultrasounds and counseling to women facing these tough decisions.
00:29:23.020 Sometimes just seeing that ultrasound and talking to someone who cares makes all the difference.
00:29:26.980 If you are looking to give in a meaningful way, a way that will really have impact for generations, this is worth considering.
00:29:35.620 Think about Steve Jobs, Celine Dion, Steph Curry.
00:29:37.860 All unplanned pregnancies, maybe you were too.
00:29:40.200 Maybe someone you love was.
00:29:41.620 Life has a way of working out differently than we expect.
00:29:44.060 When a woman faces that difficult decision, Preborn is there to help.
00:29:47.800 When a woman sees her baby's ultrasound at Preborn, everything can change.
00:29:51.520 That moment gives her the courage to choose life.
00:29:53.740 When a woman sees that ultrasound, it doubles the baby's chance at life.
00:29:56.520 $28 can sponsor an ultrasound, and right now your gift is doubled to a matching grant.

00:30:28.720 Is assimilation, mass migration, I don't know, a sort of colorblind melting pot working out in Minneapolis.
00:30:36.980 Well, let's check in on this press conference from Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry.
00:30:42.200 And I can't even tell the guy's name.
00:30:45.940 You'll find out why in a second.
00:30:47.040 But a Minneapolis police officer, police chief, I can't, I really, I can't tell.
00:30:53.120 And here's why.
00:30:53.660 Okay, listen, I don't speak Star Wars, so we can end it right here.
00:31:21.260 But the reason I'm laughing is because you got this mayor, Jacob Fry, I still don't know how to pronounce his name.
00:31:28.980 But he's standing there, you know, white as the freshly driven snow.
00:31:32.800 And he's listening to this Jabba the Hutt talk.
00:31:37.160 And he's there.
00:31:39.560 And there's Jacob Fry.
00:31:42.560 And he's listening.
00:31:43.760 And he's kind of nodding along.
00:31:45.940 Yes.
00:31:46.520 Wow.
00:31:46.700 That was a very good point, Jabba.
00:31:48.840 Yes.
00:31:49.220 Wow.
00:31:49.900 That Boba Fett.
00:31:50.920 That I, yes, of course.
00:31:53.540 Buddy, you don't understand a single syllable that this guy is saying.
00:31:57.200 And you have to engage in this farce.
00:32:00.080 You have to pretend like you do.
00:32:01.580 Because you have to pretend like any of this is normal.
00:32:03.300 So what I am told that the Minneapolis policeman was saying, the Somali Minneapolis policeman, is that the Minneapolis Police Department would back the Somali migrant community over ICE.
00:32:19.320 That the Minneapolis police, it is funny too.
00:32:23.840 I mean, since we're speaking of racial politics, it is funny that this Somali crisis, this fraud crisis, this crime crisis, this terrorism crisis, the fact that they're speaking this foreign gobbledygook, that it's taking place in like the whitest place ever in the history of America.
00:32:41.600 It is like, you know, listen, I'm a little bit Sicilian.
00:32:45.220 Okay, so I'm like Rwandan compared to the native Minnesotan population, these Scandinavian northern people who are white and blonde.
00:32:57.020 And the fact that the Somali thing is happening there is hilarious.
00:33:01.760 What is less hilarious is that the Somalis, I'm sorry, that the police department is saying, hey, we will back the criminals and the fraudsters and the terror funders and the people who should not be here.
00:33:13.100 People like Ilhan Omar, who married, committed immigration fraud, married her brother, these people who should not be here, we're going to back you over federal law enforcement.
00:33:22.580 There is a word for this.
00:33:25.080 It's a word that the Democrats used for years to refer to a horn hat guy taking selfies in the Capitol.
00:33:30.820 But I think it's a little more apt here that this is an insurrection.
00:33:35.160 This is a threat to our constitutional order.
00:33:37.700 This is an assault on our democracy.
00:33:40.340 All of the things that the libs pretend that they care about is really happening in Minnesota.
00:33:45.840 And it's not that the libs have changed their principles suddenly.
00:33:48.300 It's that their faction, their specific identity groups that they consider to be on their faction are on one side of the issue, and they back their people.
00:34:00.160 That's what it's about.
00:34:01.980 It has nothing to do with principles.
00:34:03.540 It has nothing to do even with hypocrisy.
00:34:05.200 You can look at them and say, you hypocrites, hypocrisy.
00:34:07.800 It's useless.
00:34:08.800 You're wasting the precious breath in your lungs.
00:34:11.780 It doesn't matter.
00:34:12.980 That's so beside the point.
00:34:15.180 They view politics as battle between specific peoples, friends and enemies.
00:34:20.300 And they are thrilled to hear that the Somali, Minnesota guy, if they can understand the Tatooine dialect, they're thrilled to hear that they're going to oppose federal law.
00:34:37.020 Because our democracy doesn't mean a damn if it's going to oppose their specific interest groups.
00:34:42.540 Speaking of Somali fraud, Ilhan Omar goes on CNN to explain.
00:34:50.040 Jake Tapper, who at least, I don't know if he really is centrist left or slightly moderate, but he at least plays a moderate on TV.
00:34:58.040 He comes out and he says, look, I think Jake Tapper plays the moderate in part because the left makes it so hard to defend them that he's exasperated.
00:35:10.220 And he says, hey, guys, come on, give me something to work with here.
00:35:12.580 Okay.
00:35:12.900 I started my career in Democrat politics.
00:35:15.100 Now I'm supposed to be a down-the-middle news man, but you're making it so hard to please.
00:35:20.820 Hey, Ilhan, can you please give me a decent explanation as to why all the Somalis are committing fraud and funding terrorism in Minnesota?
00:35:30.900 Can you shed any light on why the fraud got so out of control in Minnesota?
00:35:36.180 I think what happened is that, you know, when you have these kind of new programs that are designed to help people, you're oftentimes relying on third parties to be able to facilitate.
00:35:53.540 And I just think that a lot of the COVID programs that were set up, they were set up so quickly that a lot of the guardrails did not get created.
00:36:03.020 I'm going to teach everyone a word today.
00:36:05.120 Maybe some of you know it.
00:36:06.920 You're a highly educated and occasionally pretentious audience.
00:36:11.780 So I, you might, but this is where I just learned this word a week or two ago.
00:36:16.960 Tergiversation.
00:36:18.880 She, Ilhan is tergiversating here, baby.
00:36:22.100 That is some high quality grade A tergiversation.
00:36:27.860 Tergiversation is speech that evades, that dances around the main point,
00:36:34.320 that does everything it can to obscure, to sound like you're saying something when you say nothing at all.
00:36:38.740 That's what Ilhan's doing here.
00:36:40.600 Hey, Ilhan, how come your constituents were defrauding all the taxpayers and funding foreign terrorists?
00:36:47.740 Well, you know, though, I think it has to do, actually, with the COVID.
00:36:54.160 What?
00:36:55.200 It was COVID?
00:36:56.180 COVID.
00:36:57.280 I think global warming, actually, is why you understand that all the Somalis had to fund the terrorists by defrauding taxpayers.
00:37:05.080 It was because of overpopulation.
00:37:07.940 I think maybe it was because of, you see, the Easter bunny, I think it was.
00:37:15.580 Okay.
00:37:16.780 Okay, that's it.
00:37:18.680 She's tergiversating because she got no answer.
00:37:22.220 Because what really happened is the Democrats completely got caught with their pants down here.
00:37:27.560 They got caught with their hijabs down.
00:37:29.300 They got caught with their burkas down.
00:37:30.960 They have imported lots and lots of people who do not contribute to America.
00:37:38.980 And I don't even believe that the only people that we should consider taking into America are those who can contribute.
00:37:45.520 That would be the strict, I don't know, libertarian or economic or kind of neoliberal view of why we should take people in.
00:37:55.080 Whenever they justify immigration, it's always, oh, they add so much to our economy.
00:37:58.280 But I don't think that's true.
00:37:59.000 I think it is a good thing for polities to take in at least a limited number of refugees.
00:38:05.140 I think that is a good thing to do because we're all children of God and because, you know, we were strangers in the land of Egypt.
00:38:11.920 And I think that can be good in a limited circumscribed way.
00:38:16.840 But they're not refugees either.
00:38:19.280 I mean, they live in bad countries.
00:38:20.420 Somalia sucks, obviously.
00:38:21.800 It's a terrible country.
00:38:22.700 But that would not be a sufficient reason to take a whole nation of people in.
00:38:27.420 It would have to be a real kind of specific oppression that, you know, wouldn't totally undermine our political order.
00:38:35.160 And here, they got nothing.
00:38:36.460 They don't contribute to the country.
00:38:38.580 They're not refugees in any meaningful sense of that term.
00:38:42.300 They are fraudsters.
00:38:44.180 They do commit a ton of crime.
00:38:45.800 They absolutely rape our welfare system.
00:38:49.600 And they don't believe the same things that we believe.
00:38:52.720 So they don't really assimilate.
00:38:54.520 They don't speak our language.
00:38:55.800 They speak Star Wars.
00:38:56.900 And they fund terrorists overseas.
00:39:00.060 There is no reason to bring them in other than to completely reshape the American political order.
00:39:07.620 Which is the polite way of saying, the way that MSNBC calls it is they call it ethnic cleansing.
00:39:14.780 That's it.
00:39:15.500 So if I were Ilhan Omar, I'd be Tujibur Satan too.
00:39:17.520 Because I would have no explanation for that.
00:39:20.520 Now, speaking of the liberal arguments for this, it's coming down to, you know, economic benefits and this and that, welfare and all this.
00:39:29.780 And this ties into a related problem, which is, have you noticed that a lot of, some people really require food stamps and welfare.
00:39:39.280 And I think it's good to have a welfare system for those people.
00:39:42.540 Some people abuse it.
00:39:43.840 And have you noticed how many very, very, very fat people take food stamps, take money from you to pay for their food?
00:39:51.600 Well, this ties in also with our yes or no game I just played with Reed Joy.
00:39:54.940 Should there be a weight limit to qualify for SNAP benefits?
00:39:57.180 What do angels look like?

00:40:01.340 All these answers and so much more in the latest yes or no with Reed Joy.

00:40:53.120 Last little bit on the Somalis.
00:40:54.420 I don't mean to beat up on the Somalis too hard.
00:40:55.820 It just gives this opening to talk about this huge issue that the voters have been voting on, now the majority of voters, for a decade.
00:41:04.000 Which is, do these migrants contribute to our economy?
00:41:12.420 Obviously, the Somalis, they're defrauding the taxpayer.
00:41:14.740 They've taken all this money.
00:41:16.900 Well, now the liberals have caught up.
00:41:18.820 They've got their response.
00:41:20.180 And their response is to say, no, they actually drive economic growth.
00:41:23.480 Here is from KSTP in Minnesota.
00:41:25.880 They say Somali Minnesotans drive economic growth.
00:41:28.840 And they actually pay $67 million in taxes annually.
00:41:35.000 They generate, see, they're really good.
00:41:36.780 The reason we need to take them is not because their country is terrible.
00:41:39.600 It's not because they're poor and oppressed.
00:41:42.860 It's not, it's because they're really helpful to us.
00:41:46.600 Are they?
00:41:48.660 The Somali population, let's just look at the key statistics.
00:41:55.020 Roughly, at least 40% have no education, are unemployed, and are on food stamps.
00:42:02.500 At least 40%.
00:42:04.000 And then when you look at the number that are in poverty, it's almost 60%.
00:42:07.760 They do not contribute to the economy.
00:42:13.500 Is there, they're net takers by a lot.
00:42:16.600 Is there any argument other than that to make for them?
00:42:19.380 Not really.
00:42:20.320 Okay, so the humanitarian argument is out.
00:42:25.400 The economic argument is out.
00:42:27.440 The argument from, what, the melting pot argument.
00:42:30.820 Well, you know, even, some of the arguments you have in here is, well, they bring great food.
00:42:34.220 The Somalis don't even have food.
00:42:35.860 They don't even have good, what is Somali food?
00:42:38.780 I like tacos.
00:42:40.000 Okay, there's an argument for Mexican immigration.
00:42:43.240 I sort of like tacos.
00:42:43.960 They're not even, it's not top 10 for me.
00:42:45.460 But whatever, tacos can be nice every once in a while.
00:42:47.780 But what's the argument for, there's none.
00:42:51.040 And they're told not to assimilate.
00:42:52.640 They're told to, they're just told to do their own thing.
00:42:56.900 Speak their own language.
00:42:57.860 Take over the police department.
00:42:59.060 Now, speaking of food stamps.
00:43:00.100 There's a foreign lady who was just interviewed by a local Fox affiliate.
00:43:06.040 A foreign lady who is, you know, I really, I never would make fun of a woman's appearance.
00:43:13.020 I certainly don't intend to.
00:43:14.340 But a foreign lady who is not the skinniest, goes on, a local Fox affiliate, is asked about
00:43:22.580 a change to food stamps that would require a work requirement.
00:43:26.700 So, and the work requirement would be 80 hours per month.
00:43:32.300 Not 80 hours per week.
00:43:33.800 I know a lot of people who work 80 hours per week.
00:43:35.940 I know people in this building who work 80 hours per week.
00:43:38.740 But not 80 hours per week, 80 hours per month.
00:43:41.820 So that's 20 hours or less per week.
00:43:47.440 That's part-time employment.
00:43:50.640 That's four hours per day, and you get your weekends off.
00:43:54.340 She says that's way too much.
00:43:56.700 I don't think it's fair that he do that, but.
00:44:00.400 And you were saying you think it's going to hurt a lot of people?
00:44:02.620 Oh, yeah, definitely.
00:44:04.480 Definitely it's going to hurt a lot of people.
00:44:06.300 Because you never know, you know what?
00:44:08.600 Especially now that we are on the holidays, and everybody wants to have a good dinner and
00:44:14.020 everything.
00:44:14.560 And if you don't give it to them, it's going to be really hard.
00:44:17.740 It's very sudden, and it will affect people.
00:44:19.940 But then it cuts to this guy, young guy, working AA, you know, obviously seems able-bodied.
00:44:27.000 It's very sudden.
00:44:27.960 It's very hard.
00:44:28.620 And so I really don't.
00:44:30.000 I don't ever make fun of people's appearances.
00:44:32.740 I don't.
00:44:33.220 But it is notable that when you look at food stamp recipients, they're not starving most
00:44:41.620 of the time.
00:44:42.080 And most of the time, they're not starving.
00:44:45.880 And so you say, well, do you really need this?
00:44:48.260 Some people really do need it.
00:44:49.760 And I'm not a libertarian.
00:44:53.420 If you've taken one thing away from this show, it's probably that I'm not a libertarian.
00:44:57.080 So I do think it is good for the government to support poor people.
00:45:01.140 Look, the way our economy is built, there's always going to be some unemployment.
00:45:04.660 There has to be some unemployment so that there can be elasticity in the job market and
00:45:08.500 people can go and switch jobs.
00:45:09.940 And so, yeah, that's already built in.
00:45:11.320 And so, therefore, I think you have a political obligation to take care of those people.
00:45:14.600 Our Lord tells us the poor will always be with us.
00:45:16.400 And that means that we do need to take care of the poor.
00:45:18.540 You don't want to crowd out private charity.
00:45:20.040 You don't want to crowd out the churches.
00:45:21.140 That's one practical worry about welfare programs.
00:45:24.160 But some modest and well-ordered welfare program, I think, is good.
00:45:29.960 But how offensive is it to Americans when some lady walks out there, a lady who's not starving,
00:45:35.260 with a foreign accent, and says, yeah, I think it's just terrible to expect people
00:45:39.700 to work 20 hours a week.
00:45:41.220 I mean, I want a good dinner.
00:45:42.860 And if you're not going to give me a good dinner, I mean, come on.
00:45:46.000 I mean, come on.
00:45:46.860 Can you imagine?
00:45:48.880 It's outrageous.
00:45:50.160 How many Americans are working a lot more than 20 hours a week who are not getting a penny
00:45:59.460 from the government?
00:46:00.040 That leads to, you know, the real fancy people on the left and on the right, Chamber of Commerce
00:46:07.760 types, they say, oh, you know, this anti-immigration, this is nativism.
00:46:12.100 This is xenophobia nativism driven by resentment from the white working class, not just the white
00:46:19.460 working class, by the way, but by the working class Broglie, perhaps.
00:46:22.400 It is a totally understandable resentment.
00:46:28.660 I personally resent it when people come to this country, usually illegally, and they come here
00:46:35.580 and they have a thick accent, and then they say, hey, if you don't give me food without even making
00:46:41.260 me work a tiny little bit ever, you're a bad person.
00:46:43.780 Yeah, I do resent that.
00:46:45.740 I resent that.
00:46:46.760 It is normal to resent.
00:46:47.980 There is something wrong with you, actually, if you don't have a little hint of anger at that.
00:46:54.940 And the rational conclusion to draw is we need to kick a lot of those people out.
00:46:59.200 Now, speaking of Trump's policies, one last bit I have to get to because it's a big news story.
00:47:04.680 You know, Trump has been targeting Venezuelan drug boats, and this has become a big problem
00:47:10.260 according to the Democrats.
00:47:11.300 They want to try Secretary of War Pete Hegseth at The Hague for war crimes.
00:47:15.020 They say he's committing war crimes because he's blowing up these narco-terrorists in Venezuela,
00:47:20.500 off the coast of Venezuela.
00:47:23.000 So this is really, really, you cannot do this.
00:47:25.720 This is not that fascist authoritarian Donald Trump.
00:47:29.080 He has changed our constitutional order.
00:47:32.680 He is now using the military to target the poor narco-terrorists.
00:47:36.940 And we need to stop him now.
00:47:40.700 Well, Trump's policy is being defended by an unlikely source.
00:47:45.000 It's the most recent Democrat president.
00:47:48.440 That would be Joe Biden, who used those exact words, actually, narco-terrorism.
00:47:53.880 Joe Biden has backed Donald Trump's policy 100%.
00:47:58.800 Every president for the past two decades, Democrat and Republican alike,
00:48:04.720 has declared war on drugs.
00:48:07.140 And each of them has lost that war and lost it miserably.
00:48:12.000 They lost because they attempted to deal with only part of the drug problem.
00:48:16.420 They lost because their initiatives were pulled apart by bureaucratic squabbling among their advisors.
00:48:22.680 They lost because they always did too little and they did it too late.
00:48:26.780 We don't oppose the president's plan.
00:48:29.160 All we want to do is strengthen it.
00:48:31.340 We don't doubt is resolve.
00:48:33.240 All we want to do is stiffen it.
00:48:35.500 The trouble is that the president's proposals are not big enough to deal with the problem.
00:48:40.640 We think we should do more to stem the flow of drugs across our borders.
00:48:44.560 And we think we should go one step further.
00:48:47.860 Let's go after the drug lords where they live.
00:48:51.880 With an international strike force.
00:48:53.980 There must be no safe haven for these narco-terrorists.
00:48:58.260 And they must know it.
00:49:00.400 We have to lock up the dealers for a long, long time.
00:49:04.400 And we have to attack the source from which the drugs come.
00:49:08.500 Beautifully said.
00:49:09.260 I thought this was AI.
00:49:10.400 It was Mays who posted this.
00:49:11.820 Got to give a big hat tip to Mays here for finding this.
00:49:15.380 I said, was it?
00:49:16.060 I look?
00:49:16.480 No, no.
00:49:16.860 That's a real quote.
00:49:17.420 We need an international strike force to hit these narco-terrorists where they live, where
00:49:25.160 they are, to stop the drugs from coming in the first place.
00:49:30.120 The closest thing that the Democrats have to a serious scandal from the Trump administration
00:49:37.580 right now.
00:49:38.420 The one they're doubling down on.
00:49:40.040 They're getting gearing up if they win the midterms for their investigations, their subpoenas.
00:49:43.880 They want to try Pete Hegseth for war crimes, for doing something that their most recent
00:49:51.880 president explicitly called for.
00:49:56.280 Joe Biden, in that televised address, by the way, speaking for the Democrat Party, not even
00:50:01.540 just some weird thought that popped into his head during an interview, giving an address
00:50:04.620 speaking for the Democrat Party, saying, I want to do exactly what Donald Trump is doing
00:50:09.360 30 years from now, 25, 26 years from now, because that was in 1989.
00:50:16.780 What changed?
00:50:19.020 What changed is not the principle.
00:50:21.380 What changed is not the issue.
00:50:22.840 What changed, it's not even the hypocrisy.
00:50:25.120 What changed is, in those days, the Democrats, at least ostensibly, were on the side of the
00:50:30.700 Americans against the foreign narco-terrorists.
00:50:33.840 And now, the Democrats are on the side of the foreign narco-terrorists.
00:50:38.540 Back in the old days, when the Democrats were in favor of mass deportations for illegal aliens
00:50:43.620 and for closing up the border and all that, they were on the side of Americans.
00:50:46.720 Now they are on the side of the foreigners, and they are against Americans.
00:50:50.540 That's it.
00:50:50.920 That's all that changed.
00:50:51.680 The issue didn't change.
00:50:53.120 The hypocrisy didn't change.
00:50:55.100 It's just they picked a different side.
00:50:56.720 They decided to pick a different team, a different faction, and now, we don't have a common enemy.
00:51:04.680 Now, in their minds, their enemy is you.
