00:00:46.240 and the cops and the media are refusing to admit

00:00:51.320 Then, speaking of the liberal media,
00:00:53.720 chilly day in hell.
00:00:55.040 As CNN admits voter ID is popular with everyone,
00:00:59.120 demolishing Democrat narratives on that.
00:01:01.660 The New York Times admits it was wrong

00:01:06.580 And ABC News admits that President Trump

00:01:13.200 I'm Michael Knowles.
00:01:13.820 This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:01:33.400 Welcome back to the show.
00:01:34.560 Congress Lady Lamonica McIvor,
00:01:37.680 Democrat member of Congress,
00:01:39.720 has gone viral for asking the director of ICE
00:01:43.040 if he's going to hell.
00:01:45.660 We will get into the theology of the U.S. Congress.
00:01:48.620 First, though, I want to tell you about Armra.
00:01:51.240 Go to armra.com slash Knowles.

00:02:13.540 into health and fitness, of course,
00:02:14.840 but people very close to me are.
00:02:16.720 I'm talking about sweet little Elisa.
00:02:18.460 I'm talking even about Mr. Davies, okay?
00:02:20.780 And they love, love this stuff.
00:02:23.380 So much so that I think, all right,

00:03:05.060 Top story, awful, awful story in Canada.
00:03:09.020 Another school shooting.
00:03:10.500 School shooting in Canada
00:03:11.620 at Tumblr Ridge School in British Columbia.
00:03:15.000 As of now, nine people were killed,
00:03:17.400 plus the shooter.
00:03:18.800 And then 25 more were injured.
00:03:21.760 Six were killed at the school.
00:03:23.160 One was killed on the way to the hospital.
00:03:25.320 Two were killed at a home nearby.
00:03:27.660 According to The Guardian,
00:03:29.800 Royal Canadian Mounted Police,
00:03:32.060 Superintendent Ken Floyd said,
00:03:33.620 the suspect's motive remained unclear.
00:03:36.760 So if you're searching for information
00:03:41.100 about this story,
00:03:42.340 that's what you're going to find out.
00:03:43.560 Nine people killed.
00:03:45.040 Some of them will say 10 people killed
00:03:46.440 because they're lumping in the assassin
00:03:48.640 along with the victims.
00:03:50.940 You'll find out that some of them died here.
00:03:52.860 Some of them died there.
00:03:53.780 Some of them died elsewhere.
00:03:55.500 And you will find out that the authorities
00:03:57.740 say the motive is unclear.
00:04:01.040 What else do we know?
00:04:03.540 Well, if you look at some other news reporting here,
00:04:05.840 there was an alert that went out to people
00:04:07.440 that described the suspect
00:04:09.020 as a female in a dress with brown hair.
00:04:13.120 Probably a lot of people see where I'm going with this.
00:04:15.220 That's according to local news reports.
00:04:16.980 And yet, we turn from The Guardian to CBC.
00:04:21.220 CBC says officers believe they have identified the shooter
00:04:24.820 but said they will struggle to ever determine a motive
00:04:29.380 for what has become one of the deadliest school shootings
00:04:32.700 in Canadian history.
00:04:34.240 Okay, you should have a few things putting up red flags here
00:04:37.560 as you hear the reporting,
00:04:39.860 as you hear the statements from the authorities.
00:04:41.880 First one,
00:04:44.060 the identity,
00:04:46.740 the racial and sexual identity
00:04:48.380 is not leading the headline.
00:04:52.400 Given that,
00:04:53.520 we can conclude
00:04:54.540 that this is not a white guy.
00:04:57.100 Well, actually,
00:04:57.780 you can't quite conclude that here.
00:05:00.000 You can conclude
00:05:01.280 when the race and the sex
00:05:03.340 are not first thing in the headline.
00:05:05.780 You can conclude
00:05:06.620 it's not a straight white guy
00:05:09.220 who knows that he's a guy
00:05:10.160 right off the bat.
00:05:12.640 When the authorities or the media
00:05:14.360 either neglect to mention potential motives
00:05:17.640 or say they don't really know the potential motive,
00:05:20.120 you can bet
00:05:21.140 that the motive is one that aligns with the left
00:05:23.840 and the ideological priorities of the left.
00:05:26.860 But this actually,
00:05:27.960 this takes it a step further.
00:05:30.120 CBC,
00:05:31.020 quoting the officers,
00:05:32.920 says that they will struggle
00:05:35.020 ever
00:05:36.100 to identify the motive.
00:05:37.940 This is an awful shooting,
00:05:38.700 just happened.
00:05:41.120 By the time these statements are being made,
00:05:42.800 we're talking about hours
00:05:43.960 since the shooting.
00:05:45.700 How on earth
00:05:46.720 could the officers
00:05:48.020 come to the conclusion,
00:05:49.180 the political authorities
00:05:50.040 come to the conclusion
00:05:50.900 that they will never find the motive?
00:05:54.240 What that actually signifies
00:05:55.800 is that they already know the motive.
00:05:58.280 Or they have a pretty good hunch of it.
00:06:00.660 What is that motive?
00:06:02.160 You guessed it.
00:06:03.120 If you have two brain cells
00:06:04.040 to rub together
00:06:04.760 and you're listening to this show
00:06:06.640 and you're not an ardent leftist,
00:06:09.060 I know there are some leftists
00:06:10.060 who listen to the show.
00:06:10.780 I'm very appreciative of you all.
00:06:12.340 But if you have a little bit of common sense,
00:06:14.920 we all know the conclusion.
00:06:18.980 According to hard-to-find reports
00:06:22.200 and according to reportedly members
00:06:24.140 of the Shooter's family,
00:06:26.520 he was transgender.
00:06:29.200 A boy who identified as a girl.
00:06:31.360 This was not a female
00:06:32.160 in a dress with brown hair.
00:06:33.780 This was a male
00:06:34.760 in a dress with brown hair.
00:06:36.120 The guy's last name,
00:06:39.160 I've got to give a hat tip here
00:06:40.120 to Mario Noffal,
00:06:41.460 who pointed out
00:06:42.520 that the social media profiles
00:06:44.740 have trans colors,
00:06:46.600 trans flags,
00:06:48.040 trans pronouns.
00:06:49.620 I think the guy's last name
00:06:50.620 is Strang.
00:06:51.860 Strange.
00:06:52.680 Almost nomen est omen.
00:06:54.240 Got to give a hat tip
00:06:55.520 to Libs of TikTok here,
00:06:56.900 who points out
00:06:58.140 that a family member
00:06:58.840 has confirmed the trans thing.
00:07:03.080 It's always the ones
00:07:04.200 you most expect.
00:07:05.140 I almost don't even
00:07:06.560 want to say it anymore.
00:07:08.920 This following the pattern
00:07:10.220 that we saw
00:07:11.140 in Minnesota recently
00:07:12.680 with the attack
00:07:13.660 on the Catholic school,
00:07:15.860 this after the shooting
00:07:17.280 that we saw in Nashville
00:07:18.860 at the Presbyterian School Covenant,
00:07:22.960 trans-identifying people
00:07:24.780 going in
00:07:26.080 and assaulting normal people.
00:07:29.900 When I say it's always
00:07:31.300 the ones you most expect,
00:07:32.920 there's a real moral
00:07:34.340 invective here
00:07:35.660 because
00:07:37.020 all of those shootings
00:07:39.400 in Minneapolis,
00:07:41.360 in Nashville,
00:07:42.700 and in British Columbia,
00:07:44.500 if these reports are true,
00:07:46.160 all of those shootings
00:07:48.140 could have been prevented
00:07:49.620 and would have been prevented
00:07:51.640 until very recently
00:07:52.960 because
00:07:54.120 the people
00:07:55.920 who perpetrated the shootings
00:07:57.580 would have been
00:07:58.980 institutionalized
00:08:00.660 or placed
00:08:01.640 or placed under
00:08:01.900 very serious
00:08:03.000 protective care
00:08:03.880 because
00:08:04.660 they are
00:08:05.620 manifestly insane.
00:08:08.060 The proof
00:08:08.580 that they're insane
00:08:09.460 is that
00:08:10.380 they don't even know
00:08:11.560 what sex they are.
00:08:13.040 Furthermore,
00:08:13.860 they labor under
00:08:15.240 a delusion
00:08:15.800 that they are
00:08:16.580 the opposite sex,
00:08:17.980 a psychosexual affliction
00:08:20.040 that is
00:08:20.980 particularly
00:08:21.940 associated
00:08:22.700 with violence,
00:08:23.580 not even
00:08:24.440 just in recent years.
00:08:25.800 This isn't something
00:08:26.440 we've discovered
00:08:27.120 in the last few years
00:08:28.120 the trannies are violent.
00:08:29.820 This is actually
00:08:30.680 such a
00:08:31.720 common theme
00:08:32.860 of history
00:08:33.520 that it is
00:08:34.540 probably
00:08:35.460 the singular
00:08:36.220 the single
00:08:38.040 most
00:08:38.540 frequently used
00:08:39.960 psychotrope
00:08:41.860 in horror movies,
00:08:42.940 including in the movie
00:08:43.580 Psycho,
00:08:44.060 by the way.
00:08:45.800 And
00:08:46.160 Silence of the Lambs
00:08:47.180 drawing from
00:08:47.900 Ed Gein,
00:08:49.320 the
00:08:49.780 psychologically
00:08:53.160 depraved,
00:08:54.760 confused,
00:08:55.880 demented
00:08:56.300 shooter
00:08:57.400 having
00:08:59.060 this
00:08:59.820 particular
00:09:00.520 issue.
00:09:02.520 All
00:09:02.920 could have
00:09:03.260 been
00:09:03.420 predicted
00:09:03.900 and
00:09:05.500 stopped.
00:09:07.080 Now,
00:09:07.560 what some
00:09:07.840 people are
00:09:08.100 going to
00:09:08.340 say,
00:09:09.320 including
00:09:09.780 the
00:09:10.080 squishy
00:09:10.540 people in
00:09:10.940 the middle
00:09:11.200 and on
00:09:11.500 the left,
00:09:11.860 they say,
00:09:12.080 well,
00:09:12.180 Michael,
00:09:13.060 hold on,
00:09:13.500 look,
00:09:13.780 yes,
00:09:14.200 it's true,
00:09:14.840 a disproportionate
00:09:15.880 number of
00:09:16.340 these shootings
00:09:16.780 are carried
00:09:17.200 out by
00:09:17.700 trans-identifying
00:09:18.520 people.
00:09:19.420 Relative
00:09:19.820 to their
00:09:20.120 proportion
00:09:20.480 of the
00:09:20.720 population,
00:09:21.720 it's
00:09:22.120 an insanely
00:09:22.900 outsized
00:09:23.400 portion.
00:09:23.900 Yeah,
00:09:24.120 that's
00:09:24.500 true.
00:09:25.080 But look,
00:09:25.860 come on,
00:09:26.340 are you
00:09:26.620 saying that
00:09:27.120 all trans-identifying
00:09:29.440 people are
00:09:30.580 crazy and
00:09:31.480 should be
00:09:31.780 viewed as
00:09:32.100 potential
00:09:32.440 threats?
00:09:35.160 Yeah,
00:09:36.220 yeah,
00:09:37.160 that's what
00:09:37.540 I'm saying.
00:09:38.740 And that
00:09:39.160 is how
00:09:39.760 society
00:09:40.400 viewed these
00:09:41.580 people until
00:09:42.620 very,
00:09:43.120 very recently.
00:09:44.340 And very
00:09:46.160 recently,
00:09:46.560 we have
00:09:47.380 tried to
00:09:48.760 disabuse
00:09:49.440 ourselves of
00:09:50.120 this perfectly
00:09:50.900 just and
00:09:51.740 justified
00:09:52.120 prejudice,
00:09:53.160 and they've
00:09:54.960 killed a lot
00:09:55.460 more people.
00:09:57.360 How
00:09:57.840 could I
00:09:58.460 forget?
00:09:58.980 Not just
00:09:59.560 Nashville,
00:10:00.420 not just
00:10:00.800 Minneapolis,
00:10:01.560 not just
00:10:01.920 now in
00:10:02.240 British
00:10:02.460 Columbia,
00:10:03.200 many more
00:10:03.740 examples to
00:10:04.380 cite.
00:10:05.920 The most
00:10:06.740 prominent
00:10:07.240 political
00:10:07.780 assassination
00:10:08.360 of our
00:10:09.820 lifetimes,
00:10:10.780 the assassination
00:10:11.400 that just
00:10:12.400 took place
00:10:13.080 less than
00:10:13.840 six months
00:10:14.280 ago,
00:10:14.920 the assassination
00:10:15.500 of one of
00:10:16.120 the great
00:10:16.560 leaders of
00:10:17.100 the American
00:10:17.440 right,
00:10:18.120 Charlie Kirk,
00:10:19.140 carried out
00:10:19.660 by a guy
00:10:20.500 who I don't
00:10:21.740 think he
00:10:22.160 identified as
00:10:23.380 trans himself,
00:10:24.600 but his
00:10:25.380 furry boyfriend
00:10:26.280 certainly did.
00:10:28.840 You don't
00:10:29.700 need Sherlock
00:10:30.320 Holmes to
00:10:30.960 figure this
00:10:31.360 one out,
00:10:32.380 okay?
00:10:33.660 The people,
00:10:34.460 the particular
00:10:35.380 subset of
00:10:36.380 people who
00:10:37.280 are particularly
00:10:38.180 divorced from
00:10:39.000 reality,
00:10:39.760 who constantly
00:10:40.700 are threatening
00:10:41.460 violence against
00:10:42.520 normal people,
00:10:44.280 carry it out.
00:10:46.460 Arthur Conan
00:10:47.300 Doyle passed
00:10:48.180 over that story
00:10:49.100 because it's so
00:10:50.160 obvious to
00:10:51.220 everyone except
00:10:52.360 the media and
00:10:53.760 the authorities.
00:10:54.640 The authorities
00:10:55.180 whose job it
00:10:55.840 is to keep
00:10:56.340 us safe and
00:10:56.980 to maintain
00:10:57.400 order and
00:10:58.040 to affect
00:10:58.380 justice.
00:10:59.120 The authorities
00:10:59.560 who say
00:10:59.960 they're never
00:11:00.700 going to figure
00:11:01.160 out the
00:11:01.520 motive.
00:11:02.500 It's a
00:11:02.840 shooting just
00:11:03.360 like all the
00:11:03.860 other ones,
00:11:04.820 but we'll
00:11:05.180 never figure
00:11:05.760 out the
00:11:06.080 motive,
00:11:06.360 so stop
00:11:06.780 asking
00:11:07.060 questions and
00:11:07.840 don't even
00:11:08.460 report on
00:11:09.400 the most
00:11:09.700 salient fact
00:11:10.400 of the
00:11:10.620 entire case.
00:11:13.380 Canada,
00:11:13.940 man,
00:11:14.280 what a
00:11:14.940 warning,
00:11:15.600 what a
00:11:15.880 warning.
00:11:16.720 America's evil
00:11:17.320 top hat,
00:11:17.860 but we're
00:11:18.060 seeing those
00:11:18.420 same sorts of
00:11:18.940 things here.
00:11:19.700 Okay,
00:11:19.840 now I have
00:11:20.720 something nice
00:11:21.500 to say about
00:11:21.920 the media,
00:11:23.100 if not nice,
00:11:24.000 at least better
00:11:24.780 than what we're
00:11:25.360 seeing up in
00:11:25.840 Canada,
00:11:26.380 and that
00:11:27.240 pertains to
00:11:28.040 CNN,
00:11:29.520 the New York
00:11:29.980 Times,
00:11:30.580 and ABC
00:11:30.920 News,
00:11:31.680 all of which
00:11:32.620 are super
00:11:33.080 lib and
00:11:33.600 all of which
00:11:34.440 wittingly or
00:11:35.680 unwittingly,
00:11:36.360 accidentally or
00:11:36.980 intentionally,
00:11:37.600 just had to
00:11:38.340 tell the truth.
00:11:39.080 We'll get to
00:11:39.360 that momentarily
00:11:39.880 first.
00:11:40.580 I want to
00:11:40.980 tell you about

00:11:57.940 ingredients.
00:11:58.480 I bet you're
00:11:58.900 going to see
00:11:59.100 refined sugars,
00:11:59.800 you're going to
00:11:59.960 see Red 40,
00:12:00.560 you're going to
00:12:00.780 see seed oils,
00:12:01.440 you're going to
00:12:01.640 see words that
00:12:02.100 you can't
00:12:02.420 pronounce.
00:12:03.060 Is that
00:12:03.360 food or is
00:12:04.020 that a
00:12:04.260 science
00:12:04.480 experiment?
00:12:05.680 Big Food

00:12:10.180 The founder of

00:12:11.480 took on Big

00:12:13.360 daughter was born.
00:12:13.980 He created a

00:12:18.220 just seven real
00:12:18.940 ingredients.
00:12:19.440 It's all right on
00:12:19.900 the front of the
00:12:20.420 box, believe it
00:12:21.120 or not.
00:12:21.880 They're honey

00:13:40.140 access to each other's
00:13:41.840 social media accounts.
00:13:44.840 Do you think that I
00:13:47.660 think that couples
00:13:49.260 should have access to
00:13:50.300 each other's social
00:13:51.000 media accounts?
00:13:51.520 Wait, am I doing what
00:13:52.080 you think or are you
00:13:52.640 doing what I think?
00:13:53.400 Okay, I'll do what
00:13:54.140 you think.
00:13:58.120 No.
00:13:58.560 I mean, I think you
00:14:06.120 should, yeah.
00:14:07.880 Really?
00:14:08.940 What, do you think you
00:14:09.560 should share a bank
00:14:10.300 account?
00:14:10.840 And did you know who's
00:14:11.740 spending what money and
00:14:12.340 that kind of stuff?
00:14:13.000 Yeah, you should share a
00:14:13.820 bank account.
00:14:14.280 So is it okay if they
00:14:15.580 have access?
00:14:16.200 Should they share a text
00:14:19.840 messaging account?
00:14:20.720 Should they share a
00:14:21.200 cell phone?
00:14:22.420 No, it's like a single
00:14:23.200 thread.
00:14:23.400 Should they share
00:14:24.440 underwear?
00:14:25.500 Should they share,
00:14:27.000 what do you, there's,
00:14:27.680 you know, a little
00:14:28.260 privacy is okay.
00:14:29.300 You know what, I'll
00:14:29.800 give you.
00:14:30.820 I'm actually surprised
00:14:31.720 you.
00:14:32.020 So you, your wife has
00:14:33.120 access to your social
00:14:33.940 media accounts?
00:14:34.420 No, she doesn't.
00:14:34.920 I'll be fine with it.
00:14:35.540 She wanted it.
00:14:36.700 She doesn't.
00:14:37.280 So, all right, this is,
00:14:38.160 that's ridiculous.
00:14:38.540 You're cheating.
00:14:39.300 You're, you're, you're,
00:14:40.860 you're stating something
00:14:42.240 that you don't live out
00:14:42.940 yourself.
00:14:43.360 The one point I will
00:14:44.900 give you is women
00:14:48.380 basically shouldn't have
00:14:49.720 social media accounts.
00:14:50.960 Correct.
00:14:51.540 They can have like
00:14:52.500 lurker Twitter account.
00:14:53.640 They can have lurker
00:14:54.180 accounts are fine.
00:14:54.920 But like, if your wife is
00:14:57.200 posting selfies on
00:14:58.400 Instagram, big red flag.
00:15:01.060 You should not.
00:15:01.920 Yeah, like my wife has
00:15:03.000 access to my Instagram
00:15:04.220 because someone should
00:15:04.860 like post stuff for me.
00:15:05.860 You know, like that's
00:15:06.480 fine.
00:15:07.480 She your assistant?
00:15:08.440 What are you, she's
00:15:09.400 your social media?
00:15:10.360 I'm busy doing this
00:15:11.220 show, Michael.

00:15:15.920 marriage.
00:15:16.540 Folks, these are not
00:15:17.320 cute questions.
00:15:18.480 These are questions that

00:15:31.380 know your beloved
00:15:32.000 dailywire.com slash shop.
00:15:33.980 Okay, I'm going to say
00:15:35.180 something nice about the
00:15:35.940 media.
00:15:37.360 The media on multiple
00:15:40.620 fronts in the last
00:15:41.760 couple of days has been
00:15:43.840 forced to acknowledge
00:15:44.920 reality, beginning with
00:15:46.640 one of the most
00:15:47.520 controversial bills going
00:15:48.920 through the U.S.
00:15:49.560 Congress right now.
00:15:50.720 It's called the Save Act.
00:15:52.480 We've had, I'm trying to
00:15:53.280 think, we got to get
00:15:53.720 Mike Lee on the show
00:15:54.440 again.
00:15:54.680 We haven't had Mike Lee
00:15:55.360 on in a while.
00:15:56.240 Senator Lee, great
00:15:57.600 Republican senator, has
00:15:59.380 this bill.
00:15:59.920 It's called the Save Act.
00:16:01.320 What is the Save Act?
00:16:02.260 It's the Safeguard
00:16:03.600 American Voting
00:16:05.000 Eligibility Act.
00:16:06.260 And the Act just says you
00:16:08.200 need to prove that you're
00:16:09.120 eligible to vote if you
00:16:10.020 want to vote.
00:16:11.700 Simple, right?
00:16:12.300 This should be passed
00:16:13.060 easily.
00:16:14.340 Not only can they not get
00:16:16.100 the Democrats to vote for
00:16:17.060 it because the Democrats
00:16:17.700 want the illegals to vote
00:16:18.700 so that they can rig the
00:16:19.420 elections and steal them
00:16:20.300 from the American people.
00:16:22.720 Apparently, the Republicans
00:16:23.660 can't even get the
00:16:24.340 Republicans to vote for
00:16:25.120 this.
00:16:25.800 John Thune, who is the
00:16:27.760 majority leader, says
00:16:29.380 there aren't anywhere
00:16:30.840 close to the votes, not
00:16:32.740 even close to nuking the
00:16:34.680 filibuster, which would be
00:16:35.660 required to get the
00:16:36.940 Save Act through.
00:16:37.900 So that idea is
00:16:38.660 something, although it
00:16:39.400 continues to be put out
00:16:40.120 there, that doesn't have
00:16:41.660 a future.
00:16:42.780 Doesn't have a future.
00:16:46.000 Making Americans prove
00:16:47.980 that they can vote in
00:16:49.020 order to vote.
00:16:50.240 Safeguarding in the most
00:16:51.040 basic ways U.S.
00:16:52.540 elections doesn't have a
00:16:54.480 future.
00:16:56.000 Not just because of
00:16:57.100 Democrats.
00:16:57.680 Obviously, they don't want
00:16:58.820 to secure our elections
00:16:59.740 because of Republicans.
00:17:02.180 So, okay, you might say,
00:17:03.200 well, some of these
00:17:03.740 senators, you know, they're
00:17:04.540 representing whole states
00:17:05.520 and some of those states
00:17:06.140 are kind of purple.
00:17:06.920 And, you know, maybe it's
00:17:07.440 we got to we got to hand
00:17:08.660 it to Susan Collins and
00:17:09.660 Lisa Murkowski.
00:17:10.660 You know, maybe this is
00:17:11.400 really a controversial
00:17:12.100 issue.
00:17:12.900 You know, the Democrats
00:17:13.640 hate voter ID and maybe
00:17:14.960 it's controversial among
00:17:15.780 Republicans.
00:17:16.360 Right, right, right.
00:17:17.340 CNN, you tell me.
00:17:20.000 The racial breakdown.
00:17:21.100 Okay, what's the racial
00:17:22.080 breakdown on this?
00:17:23.000 Right, because I think a
00:17:23.760 lot of people make the
00:17:24.720 argument that people of
00:17:26.140 color, non-white Americans
00:17:27.180 have a harder time
00:17:28.180 procuring a photo ID to
00:17:29.900 vote.
00:17:30.120 But even here, take a look
00:17:31.220 here.
00:17:31.440 Favorite photo ID to vote.
00:17:32.500 85% of white people
00:17:34.280 favorite.
00:17:35.020 82% of Latino.
00:17:36.540 76% of black Americans
00:17:38.560 favorite.
00:17:39.240 So the bottom line is this.
00:17:40.880 Voter ID is not
00:17:42.380 controversial in this
00:17:43.640 country.
00:17:44.260 A photo ID to vote is not
00:17:45.660 controversial in this
00:17:46.620 country.
00:17:47.220 It is not controversial by
00:17:48.460 party and it is not
00:17:49.620 controversial by race.
00:17:50.980 The vast majority of
00:17:52.040 Americans agree with
00:17:53.040 Nicki Minaj that, in fact,
00:17:54.540 you should have a photo ID
00:17:55.840 to be able to vote.
00:17:57.120 Not controversial in the
00:18:00.260 least.
00:18:00.520 I was even surprised by
00:18:01.640 these racial polls.
00:18:03.440 And actually by the
00:18:04.700 partisan poll, too.
00:18:05.680 You see, basically every
00:18:07.140 Republican supports voter
00:18:08.280 ID.
00:18:08.980 But even, go back to the
00:18:09.860 top of the clip, 71% of
00:18:13.380 Democrats, 71% of Democrats
00:18:15.640 favor voter ID.
00:18:18.180 0% of Democrats who are in
00:18:20.540 elected office support voter
00:18:22.120 ID.
00:18:22.340 The vast majority of
00:18:24.140 Democrat voters, 71%,
00:18:26.160 favor voter ID.
00:18:27.420 95% of Republicans.
00:18:28.760 Then go back to the racial
00:18:29.720 one.
00:18:30.220 It's a little down the
00:18:30.840 clip.
00:18:31.620 You have 76% of black
00:18:34.500 people.
00:18:35.160 This is the most reliably
00:18:37.180 Democrat racial group.
00:18:39.120 The group that we are told
00:18:40.340 is specifically being
00:18:41.560 disenfranchised by voter ID.
00:18:43.380 More than three quarters of
00:18:44.920 them support voter ID.
00:18:46.280 You look at Latinos, it's
00:18:47.660 even higher.
00:18:48.320 82%.
00:18:48.980 We're told the Latinos are
00:18:49.960 being discriminated against.
00:18:51.220 Hard for them to get
00:18:52.200 voter ID.
00:18:52.900 And white people, close to
00:18:54.780 the Latinos, 85%.
00:18:56.160 Everybody supports voter ID.
00:19:00.720 Except for elected
00:19:01.680 Democrats, none of whom
00:19:02.760 support voter ID.
00:19:04.160 Why?
00:19:06.580 Because they are trying to
00:19:09.840 steal elections.
00:19:11.600 This isn't tinfoil hat stuff,
00:19:13.840 folks.
00:19:14.340 This is the only way to
00:19:15.940 explain the discrepancy between
00:19:17.700 elected Democrats, politicians,
00:19:19.960 operative activists, and
00:19:22.100 ordinary voters.
00:19:24.680 Basically, everyone in the
00:19:25.820 country supports voter ID.
00:19:27.180 The only people that don't
00:19:28.600 are the ones who
00:19:29.680 particularly work to run
00:19:33.060 and win elections.
00:19:36.520 Why could it be that they
00:19:37.940 don't favor voter ID?
00:19:40.560 And what you're going to hear
00:19:41.980 from the establishment media
00:19:43.500 is, well, actually, you know,
00:19:44.980 it's very rare for illegal
00:19:46.600 aliens to vote in elections.
00:19:47.620 It's very rare for people who
00:19:49.120 are ineligible to vote in the
00:19:50.360 elections.
00:19:51.380 Right.
00:19:52.740 Sure.
00:19:53.380 Okay.
00:19:54.000 The libs have told you a lot of
00:19:55.240 lies over the years, and I'm not
00:19:56.280 going to go through the litany of
00:19:57.380 them.
00:19:57.580 I'm not going to rehearse all of
00:19:59.220 history.
00:19:59.720 I just want to take you back a few
00:20:01.720 months.
00:20:02.500 Do you remember when the
00:20:03.300 Democrats shut the government
00:20:04.300 down?
00:20:05.240 The governments shut the
00:20:06.300 government down because they
00:20:07.920 wanted to try to juice their
00:20:10.060 numbers before some special
00:20:11.840 elections.
00:20:13.160 And the Republicans came out
00:20:14.560 and said, you're shutting the
00:20:15.300 government down in order to give
00:20:16.820 health care to illegal aliens.
00:20:18.580 And the Democrats said, no, we
00:20:20.260 are not.
00:20:21.620 Uniformly, they said, no, we are
00:20:22.800 not.
00:20:23.040 We do not give health care to
00:20:24.240 illegal aliens.
00:20:25.020 That is not true.
00:20:25.820 That's a lie.
00:20:27.540 By the end of the shutdown, the
00:20:31.080 Democrats were invading against
00:20:33.620 the Republicans because they said,
00:20:34.700 this is so awful.
00:20:36.180 Illegal aliens can't get food.
00:20:38.060 They're losing their health care.
00:20:39.600 They're losing their SNAP
00:20:40.560 benefits.
00:20:41.060 They completely contradicted
00:20:42.700 themselves over the course of
00:20:44.660 weeks.
00:20:46.600 Not of years, not even of many
00:20:49.620 months, of weeks.
00:20:52.800 They told you the illegal aliens
00:20:54.900 don't get health care and
00:20:56.620 welfare.
00:20:58.020 And then they told you we have
00:20:59.040 to reopen the government so that
00:21:00.220 the illegal aliens can get health
00:21:01.440 care and welfare again.
00:21:04.400 The Democrats tell you the
00:21:06.220 illegal aliens are not voting,
00:21:07.540 but they were fighting tooth and
00:21:08.600 nail against the vast majority of
00:21:11.000 their own voters to prevent
00:21:12.760 voter ID.
00:21:14.000 Why?
00:21:14.600 I think it might have something to
00:21:16.080 do with the fact that the illegal
00:21:17.780 aliens are voting.
00:21:18.920 The Democrats are counting on the
00:21:20.300 illegal aliens to vote.
00:21:21.640 Even beyond the illegal aliens,
00:21:23.420 there are plenty of other ineligible
00:21:25.060 voters who are not illegal aliens.
00:21:27.160 Voters who maybe are bussed in from
00:21:28.820 out of district.
00:21:29.940 Voters who maybe because of felonies
00:21:32.080 or other issues are not allowed to
00:21:33.660 vote.
00:21:34.180 Regardless, they need to minimize
00:21:37.200 ballot security measures.
00:21:39.360 The only explanation.
00:21:41.760 The only explanation for the
00:21:43.260 Democrats to fight against their own
00:21:44.300 voters on this issue is that they
00:21:47.680 want to steal elections.
00:21:50.260 If you don't get that at this point,
00:21:52.080 I don't I don't know how to help
00:21:53.200 you.
00:21:53.420 I don't know how to help you.
00:21:54.120 Now, before we move on back to
00:21:57.040 reality, back to the establishment
00:21:59.780 media just being flacks for the
00:22:02.380 Democrats, one more little brief
00:22:04.620 blip of honesty here.
00:22:05.780 This from ABC News.
00:22:06.920 You got to hand it to him.
00:22:08.840 ABC News ran this article
00:22:10.140 saying that Trump told the police
00:22:14.980 that everyone knew about Epstein,
00:22:17.860 according to an FBI document.
00:22:19.040 So this is based on the latest
00:22:21.740 tranche of Epstein files that came
00:22:23.940 out and the libs are all saying
00:22:25.980 Donald Trump's in the Epstein
00:22:26.960 files.
00:22:27.320 It's true.
00:22:28.760 Yeah, he's named.
00:22:29.640 Obviously, he's like the most
00:22:30.340 prominent person in the world
00:22:31.280 right now and has been for 10
00:22:33.120 years.
00:22:33.580 But specifically, he is named by
00:22:36.520 the FBI as having called the
00:22:39.460 cops on Epstein.
00:22:40.840 This is not coming from the
00:22:42.120 Daily Wire.
00:22:42.680 This is not coming from Fox News.
00:22:44.380 This is not coming from Breitbart
00:22:45.520 or The Blaze.
00:22:46.720 Not only was it printed in ABC,
00:22:49.400 here it runs on on television.
00:22:52.460 This morning, a new document coming
00:22:54.300 to light claims in the mid 2000s
00:22:56.200 President Trump called police
00:22:57.660 about Jeffrey Epstein.
00:22:59.260 Among the three million Epstein files
00:23:01.320 released by the Department of Justice
00:23:02.760 last month is a four-page FBI report
00:23:05.440 on an interview the Bureau conducted
00:23:07.340 in 2019 with the man believed to be
00:23:09.460 former Palm Beach police chief Michael
00:23:11.500 Ryder.
00:23:12.140 Ryder and his detectives began
00:23:13.340 investigating Epstein for human
00:23:15.040 trafficking in 2004.
00:23:16.940 According to the document, Trump called
00:23:18.540 Ryder around that time and said,
00:23:20.380 Thank goodness you're stopping him.
00:23:21.720 Everyone has known he's been doing this.
00:23:23.760 Ryder also says Trump said he threw Epstein
00:23:25.920 out of his club and he was around Epstein
00:23:28.060 once when teenagers were present
00:23:29.520 and Trump got the hell out of there.
00:23:31.480 The former police chief says Trump told him
00:23:33.300 to focus on Epstein's associate,
00:23:34.960 Ghislaine Maxwell, saying she is evil.
00:23:37.240 Did you have any suspicion that he was
00:23:39.700 molesting young women?
00:23:41.800 No, I had no idea.
00:23:43.440 I had no idea.
00:23:44.540 Trump has long denied having any knowledge
00:23:46.520 of Epstein's crimes.
00:23:47.800 But Ryder says Trump was one of the very
00:23:49.460 first people to call when people found out
00:23:51.760 that they were investigating Epstein.
00:23:53.480 Now, this is amazing spin.
00:23:56.380 Because ABC News, I guess you got to give
00:23:58.640 him credit, maybe.
00:23:59.980 They're reporting the facts, which is that
00:24:02.400 Trump was one of the first people to call
00:24:03.980 the cops on Epstein.
00:24:04.980 Many, many moons ago, when Bill Clinton's
00:24:07.140 palling around with him and Bill Gates is
00:24:08.620 palling around with him and all the elite
00:24:10.280 libs in the world are palling around with
00:24:12.220 Epstein, Trump calls the cops on the guy.
00:24:15.100 And that's not just spin coming from the
00:24:16.940 conservatives and the people who support
00:24:18.100 the White House.
00:24:18.560 That's coming from ABC News.
00:24:19.960 He was one of the first guys to call the
00:24:22.980 cops on Epstein when he heard that Epstein
00:24:24.340 was being investigated.
00:24:26.060 Proactive measure.
00:24:26.920 You got to get this guy.
00:24:27.480 You got to get Ghislaine Maxwell, his
00:24:29.160 madam.
00:24:29.920 She's a facilitator.
00:24:32.720 But ABC still has to spin it.
00:24:34.960 So they go to some random press gaggle
00:24:37.960 where they say, did you know the specifics
00:24:40.060 of these underage girls and molesting and
00:24:42.480 this and that?
00:24:43.100 And Trump says, no, no, I didn't know all
00:24:44.960 that.
00:24:45.920 Now, even here, there's not necessarily a
00:24:49.320 contradiction between, hey, I think Epstein
00:24:51.220 was up to bad stuff.
00:24:52.360 And, you know, I've seen him hanging around
00:24:53.520 with young girls.
00:24:54.560 And now that you're investigating, I just
00:24:56.440 want you to know, here's what I know.
00:24:59.420 There's not necessarily a contradiction
00:25:00.780 between that and did you know that Epstein
00:25:02.660 was molesting these girls in this place at
00:25:04.320 this time?
00:25:04.900 And so, I didn't know that.
00:25:06.540 It's not necessarily.
00:25:07.420 He obviously knew something about it, but
00:25:09.100 no one ever has really denied that.
00:25:10.980 Regardless, ABC News has to take, the
00:25:14.660 libs are pushing this story.
00:25:15.640 They say Trump, you know, was basically
00:25:17.580 like running the Epstein ring or something.
00:25:19.200 There's no evidence of this at all.
00:25:20.540 All the evidence is contrary to that.
00:25:22.040 The evidence comes out and says, oh, he
00:25:23.400 actually blew the whistle on Epstein.
00:25:24.760 He actually called the cops.
00:25:25.860 ABC News runs it.
00:25:26.900 And then they have to spin it in a
00:25:28.140 negative way.
00:25:28.580 So they say, and Trump, he actually,
00:25:32.540 he did the right thing.
00:25:34.480 He was apparently like the only guy who
00:25:36.940 did the right thing and actually blew the
00:25:38.400 whistle on Epstein.
00:25:39.500 But then later, he didn't talk about how
00:25:43.380 he blew the whistle on Epstein.
00:25:44.760 That liar, that lie, he's a liar.
00:25:47.140 He said, well, how do you turn Trump
00:25:50.300 alone blew the whistle on Epstein?
00:25:52.920 How do you turn that into a negative
00:25:53.980 story about Trump?
00:25:55.660 And ABC News manages to do it, even as
00:25:57.660 they are forced to run the story about
00:26:00.600 how Trump did the right thing.
00:26:01.680 Okay, before we go, I know I said this
00:26:03.380 would be the end of my plaudits for the
00:26:05.160 mainstream media.
00:26:06.080 One last bit I have to get to.
00:26:07.780 The New York Times vindicating your
00:26:12.880 favorite podcaster yet again.
00:26:14.400 You know how much I hate to say I told
00:26:15.600 you so.
00:26:16.220 The New York Times coming out, admitting
00:26:17.780 that they were wrong, that they have
00:26:20.920 been wrong for many years, that
00:26:23.040 marijuana is bad for you.
00:26:25.280 We'll get to that momentarily.
00:26:26.520 First, I want to tell you about
00:26:28.280 pre-born.
00:26:28.920 Go to pre-born.com slash Knowles,
00:26:30.520 Canada, W-L-E-S.
00:26:31.300 Pregnancy can arrive unexpectedly for
00:26:32.800 those facing an unplanned pregnancy.
00:26:34.640 Fear and uncertainty can feel
00:26:35.840 overwhelming.
00:26:36.400 Past decisions and abortions may carry
00:26:38.620 lingering grief that is difficult to
00:26:40.060 navigate alone.
00:26:41.220 That is where our sponsor, Pre-Born,
00:26:42.760 steps in.
00:26:43.580 These clinics offer compassionate
00:26:44.940 support without judgment, providing
00:26:46.620 honest conversations, accurate
00:26:48.280 information, and a safe space to
00:26:50.160 process difficult emotions and explore
00:26:52.260 real options.
00:26:53.500 One of the most powerful tools Pre-Born
00:26:55.100 provides is ultrasound technology.
00:26:57.300 Seeing a developing baby on screen
00:26:58.920 and hearing a heartbeat can bring
00:27:00.240 clarity and moments of confusion.
00:27:01.920 For many, that simple appointment
00:27:03.340 becomes a turning point, transforming
00:27:05.140 fear into hope and uncertainty
00:27:06.740 into confidence.
00:27:08.120 Pre-Born walks alongside women
00:27:09.580 through every stage of their journey,
00:27:11.220 offering ongoing emotional support,
00:27:12.720 practical resources, and community.
00:27:14.440 The impact is real.
00:27:15.640 Babies are born, families are formed,
00:27:17.100 and healing happens.
00:27:18.720 It often begins with something as simple
00:27:20.320 as an ultrasound.
00:27:21.040 One moment that can change everything,

00:27:45.180 Folks, the Epstein files,
00:27:46.680 the Alex Preddy shooting, stolen land,
00:27:48.280 these are a few of the topics I debated
00:27:49.920 with viral TikTok libs, Harry Sisson,
00:27:52.380 and Chris Mowry on the latest episode
00:27:53.700 of Bar Fight.

00:27:57.060 Harry!
00:27:59.480 Where's Harry?
00:28:00.740 Joe Biden was one of the most productive
00:28:02.040 presidents in modern American history.
00:28:03.880 We've got to boot him out.
00:28:04.660 I think most Americans agree with that.
00:28:06.180 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:28:07.440 Only enforce the law when I want to.
00:28:09.600 What happened to no king?
00:28:10.400 You voted for a felon.
00:28:11.360 No king, you voted for a felon.
00:28:13.800 She was breaking into the floor of the house
00:28:15.880 at a time when cops were being beaten
00:28:17.740 and your daddy pardoned the cop beaters.
00:28:23.380 Well.
00:28:24.840 These were some of the rowdiest audience members
00:28:26.780 we've ever had.
00:28:27.740 Watch the full uncensored episode
00:28:30.220 on Daily Wire Plus.
00:28:31.400 And thank you to all of our members
00:28:32.360 because it's because of you
00:28:33.480 that we can keep producing content
00:28:34.740 like Bar Fight, which I love.
00:28:35.900 I love this show.
00:28:36.880 I've wanted to launch this show
00:28:37.980 for a long time.
00:28:38.620 We finally have it.
00:28:39.280 It's kind of an expensive show to do,
00:28:40.520 but it's worth it.
00:28:41.460 It's worth it.
00:28:41.960 I love it.
00:28:42.320 That's what you want.
00:28:42.940 You want that,
00:28:43.960 the debate in person,
00:28:45.520 face-to-face,
00:28:46.260 not just mediated by computer screens,
00:28:48.480 not just, you know,
00:28:50.240 on random college campuses.
00:28:51.440 You want to bring people here.
00:28:52.520 You want to actually subject these ideas
00:28:53.960 to some rigor.
00:28:54.960 I love it.
00:28:55.500 I love it.
00:28:56.060 Go check it out
00:28:56.740 so that Bar Fight gets bigger
00:28:58.180 and better
00:28:58.940 and greater
00:28:59.940 and handsomer
00:29:00.640 and more beautiful guests.
00:29:01.880 I love it.
00:29:04.280 The New York Times.
00:29:06.240 Where is it?
00:29:07.180 Where is it?
00:29:08.200 There it is.
00:29:10.760 This is an editorial,
00:29:11.960 so it's coming out
00:29:12.320 from the full editorial board.
00:29:14.020 It is time for America to admit
00:29:15.580 that it has a marijuana problem.
00:29:17.860 It's not just time for America
00:29:20.800 to admit, by the way.
00:29:21.640 The New York Times goes on
00:29:22.520 to admit
00:29:23.880 that it's time
00:29:24.860 for the New York Times to admit,
00:29:26.460 for the liberal establishment to admit,
00:29:28.420 and for some people
00:29:31.000 even on the right.
00:29:31.840 There are plenty of people
00:29:32.500 on the right
00:29:33.020 who enjoy the old devil's lettuce.
00:29:34.700 You know what I'm talking about?
00:29:35.900 I'm talking about the Peruvian parsley.
00:29:37.360 Do you catch my drift?
00:29:39.000 I'm talking about that California cumin.
00:29:41.820 You know?
00:29:42.380 Jazz cigarettes.
00:29:43.600 I'm talking about pot!
00:29:45.060 Some people on the right,
00:29:49.060 I don't know,
00:29:49.400 it's because they like it.
00:29:50.400 They like taking a few puffs
00:29:52.020 on the left-handed cigarettes,
00:29:53.440 but it's not good.
00:29:56.360 The New York Times,
00:29:57.240 even in the New York Times,
00:29:57.940 one of the biggest promoters
00:29:59.500 of legal marijuana.
00:30:01.740 It says,
00:30:02.080 13 years ago,
00:30:02.800 no state allowed marijuana
00:30:03.740 for recreational purposes.
00:30:04.760 Today, most Americans live in a state
00:30:06.100 that allows them
00:30:07.020 to buy and smoke a joint.
00:30:08.740 President Trump has continued
00:30:09.860 this trend toward legalization
00:30:11.100 in December
00:30:11.540 by loosening federal restrictions.
00:30:12.720 You will remember
00:30:14.200 that when President Trump
00:30:15.780 was considering that,
00:30:16.620 I strongly encourage
00:30:17.600 the White House not to do it.
00:30:20.320 I love what the White House has done.
00:30:22.000 Trump's the best president
00:30:22.680 of my lifetime,
00:30:23.260 no doubt about it.
00:30:23.860 I say he doesn't get it right
00:30:24.580 100% of the time.
00:30:25.580 He gets it right like 98.7% of the time.
00:30:28.480 Somewhere,
00:30:28.880 it gets very close,
00:30:30.020 but this was a misstep,
00:30:31.220 I felt.
00:30:32.520 This editorial board
00:30:33.360 has long supported
00:30:34.180 marijuana legalization.
00:30:35.940 In 2014,
00:30:36.680 we published a six-part series
00:30:37.860 that compared the federal marijuana ban
00:30:39.620 to alcohol prohibition
00:30:40.700 and argued for repeal.
00:30:42.080 Much of what we wrote
00:30:42.960 holds up,
00:30:43.860 but not all of it does.
00:30:44.880 There's the admission.
00:30:47.000 Much of what they wrote
00:30:47.620 does not hold up,
00:30:48.200 by the way.
00:30:48.640 But they say,
00:30:49.860 actually, though,
00:30:50.720 we might have gotten it
00:30:51.820 a little wrong.
00:30:53.020 At the time,
00:30:53.560 here's the key.
00:30:54.120 At the time,
00:30:54.640 supporters of legalization
00:30:55.620 predicted that it would
00:30:56.320 bring few downsides.
00:30:57.580 In our editorials,
00:30:58.480 we described marijuana addiction
00:30:59.700 and dependence
00:31:00.180 as relatively minor problems.
00:31:01.960 Many advocates went further
00:31:03.020 and claimed that marijuana
00:31:03.800 was a harmless drug
00:31:04.620 that might even bring
00:31:05.280 net health benefits.
00:31:06.440 They said legalization
00:31:07.320 might not lead
00:31:07.960 to greater use.
00:31:08.700 Now it is clear
00:31:10.760 that many of these predictions
00:31:11.860 were wrong.
00:31:13.240 Legalization has led
00:31:14.120 to much more use.
00:31:15.240 So one of the arguments made,
00:31:16.520 especially by the libertarians
00:31:17.480 on the right,
00:31:18.240 is to say,
00:31:18.920 hey, man,
00:31:19.740 we need to legalize drugs
00:31:23.520 because if we legalize drugs,
00:31:25.860 drug use will actually go down,
00:31:28.040 man.
00:31:28.540 One second.
00:31:30.960 You say,
00:31:31.820 how does that work?
00:31:33.420 The libertarians,
00:31:34.160 they pride themselves
00:31:35.200 on being so economically literate.
00:31:37.600 They pride themselves
00:31:38.340 on being so economically rational,
00:31:40.800 and yet they don't even understand
00:31:42.060 the most basic aspects
00:31:43.220 of incentives
00:31:43.840 and disincentives.
00:31:46.380 It turns out
00:31:47.560 when you legalize something,
00:31:50.240 when you promote something,
00:31:51.700 when you subsidize something,
00:31:52.960 you get more of that thing.
00:31:54.980 When you outlaw something
00:31:56.680 and you discourage it
00:31:58.260 and you punish it,
00:31:59.320 you get less of that thing.
00:32:00.800 It does not require
00:32:01.540 a PhD in economics
00:32:03.080 or statistics,
00:32:04.940 probability,
00:32:05.960 anything.
00:32:07.360 It doesn't require
00:32:08.220 a second grade education
00:32:09.500 to know that fact.
00:32:11.400 So what did they do?
00:32:12.420 They legalized pot.
00:32:13.720 They had this ridiculous idea
00:32:15.220 that actually,
00:32:16.080 actually,
00:32:16.500 use is going to go down
00:32:17.480 because the taboo will go away
00:32:19.660 and then blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:32:21.680 And they said all these things
00:32:24.000 and they weren't true.
00:32:24.760 Actually, it's skyrocketed.
00:32:26.480 Today,
00:32:27.520 the number of U.S. residents
00:32:29.060 who consume marijuana
00:32:30.180 three days or fewer per month
00:32:33.260 has gone up from about
00:32:34.620 2.5% in the year 2000
00:32:36.640 to 11% or 12% in 2023.
00:32:42.140 It's like a 6x jump.
00:32:44.540 Four to 20 days per month,
00:32:47.180 so you're chumming,
00:32:48.040 like potentially two-thirds
00:32:48.980 of the month.
00:32:49.560 That's gone up from about
00:32:50.560 4% in 2000 to 15%,
00:32:53.280 over 3x rise in 23 years.
00:32:56.140 And then number of Americans
00:32:57.860 who are puffing
00:33:00.260 21 plus days per month.
00:33:03.040 So for all intents and purposes,
00:33:04.960 every day,
00:33:05.660 maybe multiple times a day,
00:33:07.240 has gone from 4%
00:33:08.520 in the year 2000 to,
00:33:11.060 sorry, not percentage.
00:33:11.860 These are millions of Americans,
00:33:13.300 but the multiples still hold,
00:33:15.200 obviously.
00:33:15.940 It's gone from
00:33:16.680 4 million Americans
00:33:18.200 to 17, 18 million.
00:33:23.380 Huge number.
00:33:24.060 What is that,
00:33:24.720 4x increase or more?
00:33:27.780 It's just skyrocketed.
00:33:29.540 So is that good?
00:33:30.540 Has that led to
00:33:31.220 no social problems?
00:33:32.280 No, according to
00:33:32.740 the New York Times,
00:33:33.200 this wider use has caused
00:33:34.000 a rise in addiction
00:33:34.640 and other problems.
00:33:35.960 Each year,
00:33:36.520 nearly 2.8 million people
00:33:38.220 in the U.S.
00:33:38.820 suffer from
00:33:39.300 cannabinoid
00:33:39.980 hyperamesis syndrome,
00:33:41.900 which causes severe
00:33:42.960 vomiting and stomach pain.
00:33:45.140 No, there's no side effects, man.
00:33:46.540 It just makes you
00:33:47.100 more peaceful and loving.
00:33:48.540 More people have also
00:33:49.440 ended up in hospitals
00:33:50.120 with marijuana-linked paranoia
00:33:51.900 and chronic psychotic disorders.
00:33:55.280 Bystanders have also been hurt,
00:33:56.400 including people driving
00:33:57.100 under the influence of pot,
00:33:58.140 of course.
00:33:59.580 And then,
00:34:00.760 I'm not even going to
00:34:01.780 read the rest,
00:34:02.240 because the New York Times
00:34:03.060 says, look,
00:34:03.700 we were wrong.
00:34:04.700 Everything we said was wrong.
00:34:07.220 We don't want to admit
00:34:08.120 that everything we said
00:34:08.800 was wrong,
00:34:09.200 but everything we said
00:34:09.860 was wrong.
00:34:10.920 And so we need to
00:34:11.800 rethink this,
00:34:12.720 but we shouldn't
00:34:13.760 go back to criminalizing it.
00:34:16.900 They say, look,
00:34:18.200 we want to admit
00:34:18.940 we were totally wrong,
00:34:19.940 but what's very important now
00:34:21.320 is that we learn
00:34:22.020 nothing from this.
00:34:25.600 I think we should
00:34:26.400 learn something from this.
00:34:27.240 I'm glad the New York Times
00:34:28.380 has been forced by reality
00:34:30.200 to admit that
00:34:30.860 they were totally wrong.
00:34:31.680 The liberal view
00:34:32.160 was totally wrong.
00:34:32.840 The libertarian view
00:34:33.440 was totally wrong,
00:34:34.040 because the libertarian view
00:34:34.800 is substantially a liberal view.
00:34:36.580 That's true.
00:34:37.200 Now, can we just learn
00:34:38.120 something from it, please?
00:34:40.400 Can people please prefer
00:34:41.920 something like
00:34:42.780 a nice, delicious Mayflower,
00:34:44.560 which just relaxes you,
00:34:47.200 makes you a little sharper,
00:34:48.200 a little smarter?
00:34:48.700 Can we please prefer
00:34:50.380 something like that
00:34:51.040 for our recreation
00:34:51.820 to the old
00:34:53.940 Haitian oregano?
00:34:55.480 Okay.
00:34:57.500 Now,
00:34:58.620 we turn
00:34:59.360 back to the issue
00:35:00.500 of immigration,
00:35:01.860 back to
00:35:02.660 my new favorite
00:35:03.880 member of Congress,
00:35:04.720 Representative
00:35:05.160 LaMonica,
00:35:06.580 LaMonica McIver,
00:35:08.480 a Democrat,
00:35:09.520 who just asked
00:35:10.680 the acting director
00:35:11.780 of ICE
00:35:12.500 if he's going
00:35:14.020 to hell.
00:35:15.460 We will delve
00:35:16.120 into the theological
00:35:17.100 musings of
00:35:18.220 the most reverend
00:35:21.420 LaMonica
00:35:21.980 of U.S. Congress.
00:35:23.760 Tonight,

00:35:25.420 friendly fire.

00:35:34.360 what we think,
00:35:35.060 especially about each other.
00:35:35.960 We take the biggest stories
00:35:37.100 in the headlines.
00:35:37.680 We discuss them.
00:35:38.260 We debate them.
00:35:39.120 We disagree on them
00:35:40.060 a lot of the time.
00:35:40.880 Yes,

00:35:42.220 will be open for members

00:35:50.820 My favorite comment
00:35:51.520 yesterday,
00:35:52.080 and once again,
00:35:52.700 Drummer's Workshop,
00:35:53.340 Norm's Music.
00:35:53.900 They didn't even send me
00:35:54.900 all the comments yesterday.
00:35:57.020 They knew this was
00:35:58.140 going to be the winner
00:35:58.740 and Drummer's Workshop,
00:36:00.700 Norm's Music
00:36:01.020 is probably the modal
00:36:02.560 favorite commenter
00:36:03.580 over the years.
00:36:04.280 I've just picked him
00:36:04.800 more than anyone else.
00:36:06.480 And he writes,
00:36:06.980 that meme proves,
00:36:09.780 this is the meme
00:36:10.640 of all the Democrats
00:36:11.560 in the Jungle Book
00:36:12.620 or whatever
00:36:13.660 in The Lion King.
00:36:14.880 You know,
00:36:15.080 the one that was
00:36:15.640 the meme
00:36:16.100 where it was Obama's head
00:36:17.420 on the gorilla's body
00:36:18.620 and it was supposed
00:36:19.120 to be racist
00:36:19.660 with all the Democrats.
00:36:20.300 Anyway,
00:36:21.160 it says,
00:36:21.480 that meme proves
00:36:22.140 that in 2020,
00:36:23.620 the left
00:36:24.200 was a bunch
00:36:25.300 of cheetahs.
00:36:30.080 Cheetahs.
00:36:31.060 That's very good.
00:36:31.900 Okay.
00:36:33.820 Representative
00:36:34.220 LaMonica McIver,
00:36:36.240 how do you
00:36:37.160 use your time
00:36:38.160 when you have
00:36:38.620 the opportunity
00:36:39.300 to question
00:36:40.440 the acting director
00:36:41.460 of ICE?
00:36:43.340 Let me ask you
00:36:44.400 some questions
00:36:44.920 that you may
00:36:45.920 be able to answer.
00:36:47.500 Mr. Lyons,
00:36:48.060 do you consider yourself
00:36:49.100 a religious man?
00:36:50.680 Yes, ma'am.
00:36:51.580 Oh, yes.
00:36:52.580 Okay, well,
00:36:53.060 how do you think
00:36:53.880 Judgment Day
00:36:54.520 will work for you
00:36:55.400 with so much blood
00:36:56.740 on your hands?
00:36:58.740 I'm not going
00:36:59.300 to entertain
00:36:59.640 that question.
00:37:00.360 Oh, okay,
00:37:00.660 of course not.
00:37:01.280 Do you think
00:37:01.760 you're going to hell,
00:37:02.620 Mr. Lyons?
00:37:03.260 I'm not going to.
00:37:03.920 Of course not.
00:37:05.360 How many government...
00:37:06.340 The gentlelady
00:37:07.020 will suspend.
00:37:07.900 The gentlelady
00:37:08.480 will suspend.
00:37:09.320 Chairman...
00:37:09.820 A gentlelady
00:37:10.620 will suspend.
00:37:11.280 As I said,
00:37:12.300 the issues
00:37:12.820 we're debating here
00:37:13.540 are important
00:37:14.000 to ones
00:37:14.500 that members
00:37:14.940 feel deeply about.
00:37:16.140 While vigorous
00:37:17.080 disagreement
00:37:17.720 is part
00:37:18.740 of the legislative
00:37:19.320 process,
00:37:20.120 members are reminded
00:37:20.920 that we must adhere
00:37:21.540 to established standards
00:37:22.480 of decorum
00:37:23.320 and debate.
00:37:24.380 The witnesses
00:37:24.860 are here voluntarily,
00:37:26.640 and I will continue
00:37:27.320 to remind members
00:37:28.840 that while oversight
00:37:29.920 is important,
00:37:30.960 aggressively attacking
00:37:31.800 those witnesses
00:37:32.780 personally
00:37:33.420 is inappropriate
00:37:34.520 and not in keeping
00:37:35.720 with the traditions
00:37:36.280 of our committee.
00:37:37.400 Mr. Chairman,
00:37:37.940 I'm just asking
00:37:38.420 a question.
00:37:39.720 You guys are always
00:37:40.780 talking about religion
00:37:41.880 here in the Bible.
00:37:43.000 I mean,
00:37:43.200 it's okay for me
00:37:43.720 to ask a question,
00:37:44.540 right?
00:37:45.500 This is a novel
00:37:47.220 pronunciation
00:37:47.780 of the word ask.
00:37:49.020 I know some people
00:37:49.700 make fun
00:37:50.380 because some people
00:37:52.080 pronounce the word ask
00:37:53.300 as axe.
00:37:54.720 I'm going to axe
00:37:55.360 you a question.
00:37:57.140 Miss LaMonica
00:37:58.060 goes even further.
00:37:59.080 What did she say?
00:38:01.060 How did she...
00:38:01.860 Can you just get
00:38:02.480 the last few seconds there?
00:38:03.440 How is she pronouncing
00:38:04.080 that word?
00:38:05.340 Committee.
00:38:06.080 Mr. Chairman,
00:38:06.600 I'm just asking
00:38:07.080 a question.
00:38:08.340 Accent?
00:38:08.740 Well, you guys
00:38:09.140 are always talking
00:38:09.760 about religion.
00:38:11.120 You see,
00:38:11.560 there's a subtle difference.
00:38:12.920 Anyway, I'm sorry.
00:38:13.860 I'm digressing.
00:38:14.700 I'm being drawn.
00:38:15.420 The bigger point is
00:38:16.560 this Democrat member
00:38:18.020 of Congress
00:38:18.600 is asking the acting
00:38:20.840 member of ICE
00:38:21.520 if he's going to hell.
00:38:24.360 And he gives
00:38:25.520 a perfectly fine answer,
00:38:26.480 which is,
00:38:26.900 this is totally out of order.
00:38:27.980 I'm not answering
00:38:28.440 that question.
00:38:29.380 I might have answered it
00:38:30.520 if I were in his position.
00:38:31.820 And given the answer
00:38:33.800 as I see it,
00:38:34.400 which is,
00:38:35.120 well,
00:38:35.380 I think that I will
00:38:36.180 go to heaven eventually
00:38:37.600 if I die in a state of grace,
00:38:39.920 in a relationship of grace
00:38:41.880 with God.
00:38:43.020 And I pray that I do that
00:38:44.280 and I pray for a good death
00:38:45.380 and I hope that I don't
00:38:46.520 turn away from God's grace
00:38:47.800 before my death
00:38:50.000 because then I'll go to hell.
00:38:51.240 That would be my answer.
00:38:52.260 That's really what I believe about it.
00:38:54.120 That's what Christians
00:38:54.980 traditionally have believed
00:38:56.380 about heaven and hell.
00:38:57.540 I would have given her,
00:38:58.600 in other words,
00:38:59.740 a straight answer
00:39:00.700 because
00:39:01.520 I don't think
00:39:03.860 she's asking this question,
00:39:04.880 axing or asking
00:39:05.860 or any other pronunciation
00:39:07.560 of that word,
00:39:08.320 this question seriously.
00:39:10.920 You know,
00:39:11.160 Democrats will throw
00:39:12.040 this stuff around.
00:39:13.900 You think you're going to hell?
00:39:15.240 You high and mighty
00:39:16.040 Bible-thumping religious person.
00:39:17.820 You ever think about,
00:39:18.720 you're going to go to hell.
00:39:19.480 You know that?
00:39:20.240 You guys are demons.
00:39:21.380 They invoke demons.
00:39:22.680 They evoke this imagery
00:39:23.900 of spiritual darkness.
00:39:25.240 They talk about hell.
00:39:26.380 Do they really believe in hell?
00:39:28.640 I really believe in hell.
00:39:30.380 I think hell really exists.
00:39:32.540 I think that it is possible.
00:39:34.800 I think God has given us
00:39:36.060 freedom
00:39:36.900 and sufficiently respects
00:39:38.120 our freedom
00:39:38.680 that we can choose
00:39:39.920 eternal separation from him,
00:39:41.460 which is eternal torment.
00:39:42.680 I think that's a real possibility
00:39:44.140 and I dread
00:39:45.680 the loss of heaven
00:39:46.700 and the pains of hell
00:39:47.640 and I do not want to offend
00:39:49.640 so good a God
00:39:50.360 and so I do my best
00:39:52.680 as I can.
00:39:53.500 I strive to
00:39:54.380 remain in a relationship
00:39:55.800 of grace with him
00:39:56.520 because at a very practical level,
00:39:58.580 I think that the consequences
00:39:59.520 of that are eternal.
00:40:02.020 Does Representative LaMonica
00:40:03.560 really believe that
00:40:04.280 or is this just some cheap shot
00:40:05.580 about religion?
00:40:07.140 Does Representative LaMonica
00:40:08.480 support abortion?
00:40:09.760 Just ask that question.
00:40:10.860 Does Representative LaMonica
00:40:12.100 support the wholesale slaughter
00:40:14.580 of innocent little babies?
00:40:16.380 Does she ever consider
00:40:17.820 that that kind of support
00:40:20.040 might be leading her to hell,
00:40:21.880 which might actually exist
00:40:23.560 and not just be
00:40:24.760 a fun little flourish
00:40:27.400 for political rhetoric?
00:40:29.360 I would put this
00:40:30.080 right back on people.
00:40:31.960 Notice how flippant
00:40:33.540 people are about religion,
00:40:35.040 not just on the left,
00:40:35.820 but on the right too.
00:40:37.860 They describe the demonic.
00:40:38.980 You hear descriptions
00:40:39.760 of the demonic
00:40:40.420 all over our culture.
00:40:41.420 On the right as well.
00:40:43.020 People are so flippant
00:40:43.980 about this.
00:40:44.720 They'll invoke the demonic.
00:40:46.780 They'll invoke hell,
00:40:47.820 but they won't follow
00:40:49.620 those observations,
00:40:51.380 those statements
00:40:51.860 to their logical implications.
00:40:55.780 If evil exists,
00:40:57.220 if demons exist,
00:40:58.200 if hell exists,
00:40:59.780 then God exists too, right?
00:41:01.760 If God exists,
00:41:03.500 he has a nature.
00:41:05.020 He is being actually,
00:41:07.500 but he probably desires things,
00:41:10.480 doesn't he?
00:41:10.800 Probably desires things from us.
00:41:12.740 If God exists,
00:41:13.840 there is a moral order.
00:41:15.080 There are good things
00:41:15.660 and bad things
00:41:16.320 and we probably should strive
00:41:18.140 to do the good things
00:41:19.700 and avoid the bad things
00:41:20.680 and we should probably
00:41:21.560 cooperate with God's grace
00:41:22.940 and we should probably
00:41:23.820 take seriously revelation.
00:41:25.960 We should probably
00:41:26.660 seriously consider
00:41:27.640 the implications
00:41:28.540 of the incarnation,
00:41:29.840 whether Jesus is
00:41:30.660 who he says he is,
00:41:31.680 what that means
00:41:32.200 for our lives.
00:41:35.420 People are very flippant
00:41:36.780 about religion
00:41:37.380 and rather than say,
00:41:39.320 well, that's out of bounds.
00:41:40.040 You shouldn't bring religion up
00:41:41.240 in a political hearing.
00:41:43.200 Maybe this is a great opportunity
00:41:44.580 for evangelization.
00:41:46.500 Do you believe in hell, sir?
00:41:48.160 I do.
00:41:48.900 Do you, lady?
00:41:50.080 Do you believe in hell?
00:41:51.040 Let me explain to you
00:41:51.860 what I think.
00:41:52.740 Yeah, I think that
00:41:54.380 what I am doing
00:41:55.140 in enforcing the law,
00:41:57.640 whether we're talking
00:41:58.220 about immigration law
00:41:58.860 or whatever,
00:41:59.180 whatever controversial issue
00:42:00.420 you hear from the left,
00:42:01.260 I believe that what I'm doing
00:42:02.740 is just.
00:42:03.580 I think it is good.
00:42:04.560 I think the civil authority
00:42:05.440 doesn't bear the sword in vain.
00:42:06.740 I think the civil authority
00:42:07.620 is there,
00:42:08.180 even appointed by God
00:42:09.160 for our good.
00:42:10.180 And I think that
00:42:10.980 it is in the interest
00:42:12.760 of the United States
00:42:13.580 to defend our laws
00:42:15.060 justly passed by Congress
00:42:16.340 to deport the illegal aliens
00:42:17.800 who are committing atrocities
00:42:18.980 against Americans.
00:42:20.080 I think what you're doing,
00:42:21.300 Congress lady,
00:42:21.840 is unjust.
00:42:22.500 And if you want to get
00:42:23.360 into the eternal
00:42:23.940 implications of it,
00:42:25.380 I think that you could be
00:42:26.920 leading yourself down to hell
00:42:28.240 and you should seriously
00:42:29.100 consider that.
00:42:30.240 I don't think they would know
00:42:31.380 what to do with that.
00:42:32.320 when people invoke
00:42:34.540 demonic occult imagery
00:42:36.860 on the left or the right,
00:42:39.040 maybe ask them like,
00:42:39.780 okay,
00:42:40.400 you think demons exist.
00:42:41.720 That's good.
00:42:42.520 Did you go to church on Sunday?
00:42:44.180 Did you go to church?
00:42:45.000 Did you go to confession?
00:42:46.480 Did you read your Bible?
00:42:47.280 I mean,
00:42:47.460 you don't need to be judgy.
00:42:48.720 You've got to watch out
00:42:49.600 for the plank in your own eye,
00:42:50.540 of course.
00:42:51.520 But this is a way
00:42:52.320 to actually help people.
00:42:54.600 You say,
00:42:54.960 look,
00:42:55.260 it's good that you recognize
00:42:57.100 that the devil exists,
00:42:57.920 but the devil is nothing
00:42:58.580 compared to God.
00:42:59.700 Are you doing what God
00:43:00.400 wants you to do?
00:43:00.920 You want,
00:43:02.820 look,
00:43:03.020 you brought it up,
00:43:03.720 lady.
00:43:04.040 I'm not the Bible thumper
00:43:05.140 in this.
00:43:05.680 I mean,
00:43:05.920 I'll thump it back,
00:43:06.600 I guess,
00:43:06.920 but I'm not.
00:43:07.840 You're the one
00:43:08.280 who brought it up.
00:43:09.120 So you want to take
00:43:09.900 this seriously?
00:43:10.460 Let's take it seriously.
00:43:11.860 It wasn't just LaMonica.
00:43:14.080 Representative Eric Swalwell
00:43:15.240 also grilled
00:43:16.780 the acting director of ICE.
00:43:19.680 You're supposed to protect
00:43:20.920 or will you side
00:43:23.100 with the killers
00:43:23.880 bringing terror
00:43:24.940 to our streets?
00:43:26.180 Mr. Lyons,
00:43:27.560 will you resign from ICE?
00:43:29.540 No, sir, I won't.
00:43:30.400 Why not?
00:43:31.440 Because, sir,
00:43:32.000 that child that you're
00:43:32.880 showing right there,
00:43:33.540 the men and women of ICE
00:43:34.340 took care of him
00:43:35.080 when his father abandoned him
00:43:36.420 in Moran for law enforcement.
00:43:37.660 Hellman's time has expired.
00:43:38.460 You never should have
00:43:39.020 gone to the concert.
00:43:39.100 Hellman's time has expired.
00:43:40.260 I recognize John from Mississippi.
00:43:42.280 If Eric Swalwell didn't exist,
00:43:44.020 we'd have to invent him.
00:43:45.520 Eric Swalwell comes out
00:43:46.900 and he uses this example
00:43:47.780 that the liberals
00:43:48.200 are always pushing and say,
00:43:50.040 I've had a family member
00:43:51.900 even send me this example.
00:43:53.360 They say,
00:43:53.640 you know,
00:43:54.160 ICE arrested a five-year-old kid.
00:43:56.000 Can you believe it?
00:43:56.880 ICE arrested a five-year-old kid.
00:43:58.720 I said,
00:43:58.980 oh,
00:43:59.080 that's interesting.
00:43:59.880 I wonder why they did that.
00:44:01.300 Let me Google this
00:44:01.840 for three seconds.
00:44:03.480 Oh,
00:44:04.560 ICE detained
00:44:05.940 the five-year-old kid
00:44:07.220 because his illegal alien
00:44:09.820 criminal deadbeat father
00:44:11.440 abandoned him
00:44:12.380 on a freezing cold sidewalk.
00:44:13.920 So ICE had two options.
00:44:15.480 Leave the little kid alone
00:44:17.060 in the freezing cold
00:44:18.440 on a sidewalk
00:44:19.180 or take care of the kid
00:44:21.940 while they go get
00:44:22.540 his deadbeat dirtbag father.
00:44:24.060 What do you think
00:44:26.420 I should have done?
00:44:27.700 And that's what
00:44:28.880 the acting director
00:44:30.180 says to Representative Swalwell.
00:44:31.780 Swalwell's got nothing on this.
00:44:33.700 He has absolutely nothing.
00:44:35.820 So he just comes back.
00:44:36.920 He goes,
00:44:37.080 well,
00:44:37.260 he never,
00:44:38.020 the father never should have
00:44:38.960 been arrested
00:44:39.360 in the first place.
00:44:40.120 Yes,
00:44:40.360 he should have.
00:44:41.560 According to the law
00:44:42.560 passed by
00:44:43.200 the government body
00:44:45.040 that you're a member of.
00:44:46.320 Is that really
00:44:48.400 now their argument?
00:44:49.180 We should not arrest
00:44:50.180 illegal aliens?
00:44:51.040 I guess it is.
00:44:51.780 I had this bar fight
00:44:52.660 with Harry Sisson
00:44:54.640 and Chris Mowry.
00:44:56.580 And one of the funniest moments,
00:44:58.100 the clip was going viral
00:44:58.960 on social media.
00:44:59.940 I was sitting there,
00:45:00.460 I said,
00:45:00.600 guys,
00:45:00.780 I just want to be very clear
00:45:02.040 about this.
00:45:02.560 We can debate
00:45:03.120 the morality
00:45:04.400 and potential future laws.
00:45:05.540 I just want,
00:45:06.040 right now,
00:45:07.540 should we deport the illegals?
00:45:09.440 The law says that we should.
00:45:10.940 It was passed by Congress.
00:45:12.220 Members of both parties
00:45:13.020 have voted for it.
00:45:14.900 Borders are
00:45:15.720 what delineate
00:45:16.740 a political community
00:45:18.840 and the majority
00:45:20.480 of Americans
00:45:20.940 voted for this
00:45:21.880 in 2024 specifically.
00:45:23.160 Should we deport
00:45:24.000 the illegals?
00:45:25.400 And you know
00:45:25.620 what answer I got?
00:45:26.600 Humana,
00:45:26.940 humana,
00:45:27.280 humana,
00:45:27.600 well,
00:45:27.860 well,
00:45:28.100 well,
00:45:28.320 it's actually
00:45:28.780 really nuanced.
00:45:29.620 It's actually
00:45:29.980 really complicated.
00:45:30.500 I got the Swalwell answer.
00:45:33.300 Because what they,
00:45:34.560 actually Swalwell
00:45:34.840 is in a way
00:45:35.240 more honest.
00:45:36.320 Because he basically
00:45:37.360 just comes out
00:45:37.960 and says,
00:45:38.620 no,
00:45:38.900 we shouldn't.
00:45:39.820 We should ignore
00:45:40.400 the voters.
00:45:41.340 We should ignore
00:45:41.860 the law.
00:45:42.680 We should let the criminals
00:45:43.720 just fester on the streets.
00:45:45.080 We should allow them
00:45:45.740 to bring in fentanyl
00:45:46.720 to kill 75,000 Americans
00:45:48.000 a year
00:45:48.400 and to rape Americans
00:45:49.820 and to murder Americans
00:45:50.740 and to traffic human beings
00:45:52.040 and potentially to vote
00:45:52.980 in our elections.
00:45:53.900 And we should just do that.
00:45:55.680 We should just do that.
00:45:56.860 Even though most Americans
00:45:57.780 oppose that,
00:45:59.200 that's going to help us,
00:46:00.540 the Democrat Party.
00:46:01.680 So we're going to do it.
00:46:03.520 Most Americans
00:46:04.320 think you should
00:46:05.080 show an ID to vote,
00:46:06.060 but it hurts
00:46:07.100 the Democrat Party
00:46:08.000 if you tamp down
00:46:08.820 on voter fraud,
00:46:09.460 so we're going to oppose it.
00:46:10.480 Okay.
00:46:11.440 All right.
00:46:11.900 That's fine.
00:46:13.120 So much more to say
00:46:14.280 because I want to beat up
00:46:15.300 on some Republican members
00:46:16.240 of Congress too.
00:46:18.600 But I don't have time.
00:46:19.560 Let's work from home Wednesday.
00:46:20.520 I'm so excited about this one.
00:46:22.040 I know I was a little late
00:46:23.180 in assigning the homework
00:46:24.160 this week.
00:46:25.200 We used to have woke Wednesday,
00:46:26.320 but I hated that.
00:46:26.940 It was such lazy slop.
00:46:28.920 I'm never going to get off
00:46:30.120 the producer's case about that.
00:46:31.380 So instead,
00:46:31.820 I changed it to
00:46:32.300 work from home Wednesday.
00:46:33.120 I think working from home
00:46:34.080 is fake.
00:46:35.000 And even when I've worked
00:46:37.760 from home myself,
00:46:38.380 it's mostly fake,
00:46:39.440 especially if you have kids
00:46:40.100 running around.
00:46:40.660 And anyway,
00:46:41.560 the one kind of working
00:46:42.820 from home I really like
00:46:43.760 is this day
00:46:46.100 because I get to assign
00:46:47.280 some kind of reading,
00:46:48.880 some kind of music,
00:46:49.560 something that I really like.
00:46:50.440 This is the esoterica.
00:46:51.720 This is for the
00:46:52.220 And this week,
00:46:53.680 we're going over
00:46:54.280 one of my favorite stories,
00:46:56.040 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's
00:46:57.320 Adventure of the Musgrave Ritual,
00:46:59.680 my favorite Sherlock Holmes story.
00:47:01.780 If you're not a member,
00:47:02.600 you don't get it.
00:47:03.440 And this story is profound
00:47:05.220 in what it means
00:47:05.960 to be a conservative.

00:47:16.420 What was it like, Merlin,
00:47:31.020 to be alone with God?
00:47:38.200 Is that who you think
00:47:39.220 I was alone with?
00:47:39.980 Merlin, I knew your father.
00:47:46.040 I am yet convinced
00:47:47.660 that he was not
00:47:48.380 of this world.
00:47:49.040 All men know of the great Taliesin.
00:47:55.000 You are my father.
00:47:56.300 Other gods should war for my soul.
00:47:59.500 Princess Garrus,
00:48:01.000 savior of our people.
00:48:02.460 I know what the bull god offered you.
00:48:06.580 I was offered the same.
00:48:09.600 And?
00:48:11.020 There is a new power at work
00:48:12.320 in the world.
00:48:13.140 I've seen it.
00:48:15.180 A god who sacrifices
00:48:16.520 what he loves for us.
00:48:17.920 We are each given
00:48:18.580 only one life, singer.
00:48:20.660 No.
00:48:21.840 We're given another.
00:48:22.560 I learned of Yezu the Christ.
00:48:27.920 And I have become his follower.
00:48:29.820 He's waiting on a miracle.
00:48:31.340 And I think you can give him one.
00:48:33.380 Trust in Yezu.
00:48:34.720 He is the only hope
00:48:35.840 for men like us.
00:48:37.640 Faith of Britain
00:48:38.220 never rests in the hands
00:48:39.400 of the great life.
00:48:40.660 Great light.
00:48:41.820 Great darkness.
00:48:43.260 Such things mattered to me then.
00:48:45.640 What matters to you now,
00:48:47.000 mistress of lies?
00:48:49.360 You.
00:48:50.920 Nephew.
00:48:52.560 The sword
00:48:55.060 of the high king.
00:48:58.240 How many lives
00:48:59.360 must be lost
00:49:00.020 before you accept
00:49:01.040 the power
00:49:01.640 you were born to wield?
00:49:05.980 So clinging to the promises
00:49:07.280 of a god
00:49:07.860 who has abandoned you.
00:49:09.240 I cannot take up
00:49:10.320 that sword again.
00:49:11.960 You know what you must do.
00:49:15.420 Great light.
00:49:16.340 Forgive me.
00:49:22.560 The time has come
00:49:25.520 to be reborn.
00:49:27.440 We need to talk.
00:49:34.220 Things were good at first,
00:49:35.620 but then you went soft.
00:49:37.040 I can't keep doing this.
00:49:38.380 I'm done.
00:49:39.240 Don't break up
00:49:39.800 with your berries.
00:49:40.780 Ziploc brand storage bags
00:49:41.860 keep strawberries fresh
00:49:42.880 two times longer.
00:49:44.040 For the love of food.
00:49:44.960 Ziploc.
00:49:45.580 S.C. Johnson.
00:49:46.660 Compared to stored packaging
00:49:47.420 when refrigerated.
00:49:47.980 You know what I meant
00:49:50.360 from this,
00:49:50.620 you need to talk
00:49:51.120 back to the
00:49:51.980 end of the good coming
00:49:56.360 to earth.
00:49:56.820 And you will try to
00:49:57.060 get the wrong
00:49:57.500 moment in which
00:49:57.720 you are not
00:49:57.740 soldcraft.
