00:00:00.380 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her fellow Bolsheviks have finally released the draft text of the so-called Green New Deal.
00:00:08.740 And it turns out that the Green New Deal actually is communism.
00:00:13.540 Green is the new red.
00:00:15.680 We will analyze the proposal line by line. I've got it right here.
00:00:19.620 Then another prominent Democrat wears blackface.
00:00:22.560 Is there going to be any Democrat left in America who has not worn blackface?
00:00:26.500 President Trump addresses the National Prayer Breakfast.
00:00:28.920 And finally, the mailbag. I'm Michael Knowles and this is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:00:39.200 I didn't think it was possible. I thought that I had been exaggerating about the Green New Deal.
00:00:45.040 The Green New Deal is what Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in particular, but a lot of these incoming Democrats,
00:00:50.940 these far left-wing Democrats have been focusing on. They want to make it a central campaign issue.
00:00:55.440 And I've said, oh, it's just Bolshevism. Oh, it's communism.
00:00:59.020 But I didn't know until I saw it. I have read the draft legislation.
00:01:03.380 I have read the frequently asked questions that they have released.
00:01:06.460 We will go through it line by line. It is pure communism.
00:01:11.140 We'll get to that in a second. But first, let's talk about Ali.
00:01:15.920 Oh, Ali is really, really good.
00:01:17.860 Your dog's health is as important as every other member of your family, and it starts with what you feed them.
00:01:24.040 But do you know what is in your dog's food?
00:01:26.500 Ali puts dogs first with vet-formulated recipes and fully transparent ingredients to give your dog the healthiest food possible.
00:01:32.840 Fresh meals for dogs with real ingredients that people can eat.
00:01:36.600 People can eat this food.
00:01:38.980 They beat out store-bought dog food 10 to 1 on the palatability scale.
00:01:42.240 All-natural ingredients, no preservatives, sourced from U.S. Family Farms.
00:01:46.380 Go to myoli.com and answer a few questions about your dog.
00:01:49.300 They will customize recipes for your dog.
00:01:51.360 Ship pre-portioned meals so your pup gets the perfect portion every time.
00:01:54.560 They've delivered 5 million meals and counting. Shipping is free.
00:01:57.780 The reason this is important is, according to the FDA, most dog food contains meat from the four Ds.
00:02:04.580 Diseased, dead, disabled, and dying animals.
00:02:08.180 That includes roadkill and euthanized dogs. Turn your dog into a cannibal.
00:02:12.260 It doesn't have to be this way.
00:02:14.060 We all care about our health, especially when it comes to what we eat, so why should it be any different when it comes to our pets?
00:02:18.660 Ali is listening. Our listeners are 60% off your first box, plus a free bag of treats at myoli.com
00:02:23.700 slash try slash Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S.

00:02:30.220 Go to myoli.com slash try slash Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S.

00:02:36.600 It's myoli.com slash try slash Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S.
00:02:44.180 Check it out. It's very important.
00:02:46.100 This is really important to remember this, because once the Green New Deal goes into effect,
00:02:50.700 the best we can hope for is to eat dog food.
00:02:53.400 So, I mean, all of the other food is going to be gone.
00:02:55.600 They're going to be bread lines.
00:02:56.560 So hopefully, at least the dog food will be consumable by humans.
00:03:00.500 At least we'll be able to have it.
00:03:02.240 The Green New Deal.
00:03:03.100 The Green New Deal is so left-wing that even Nancy Pelosi is against it.
00:03:10.860 This is how Nancy Pelosi, Democrat Speaker of the House, progressive hero, this is how she described it.
00:03:16.540 She was asked, what do you think about the Green New Deal?
00:03:19.360 She said, it will be one of several or maybe many suggestions that we receive.
00:03:23.720 The Green Dream, or whatever they call it, nobody knows what it is, but they're for it, right?
00:03:32.480 Nancy, stop making me laugh. I'm sick. You're going to hurt my chest.
00:03:36.480 Even Nancy Pelosi thinks that this thing is a pipe dream.
00:03:40.120 I've read the draft legislation.
00:03:42.240 I've read the frequently asked questions.
00:03:44.540 The frequently asked questions part of this, which has been released by the Green New Deal people,
00:03:49.440 it reads like a seventh grade homework assignment, not just in the language, which is also not great,
00:03:56.460 but in the idea, it's as though you said to seventh graders,
00:04:02.040 hey, all right, kids, we're going to have an imaginative learning exercise.
00:04:06.080 Dream up your perfect society.
00:04:08.700 And then they all dream up with their little crayons writing backwards.
00:04:12.120 They say, oh, and then everybody's going to do exactly what I want,
00:04:16.800 and money is going to come from the sky, and it's the gumdrop candy mountain.
00:04:23.080 I mean, this is what American communists and socialists have been talking about for 100 years.
00:04:28.080 And they actually reference that in the legislation.
00:04:32.480 Here is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortense describing what the Green New Deal means.
00:04:37.560 As you know, Congresswoman, one reason that people who are politically conservative
00:04:41.360 are skeptical of efforts to combat climate change is that it sounds to them
00:04:45.980 like it requires massive government intervention, which they just don't like.
00:04:49.860 Are you prepared to put on the table that, yes, actually, they're right.
00:04:53.500 What this requires is massive government intervention?
00:04:55.900 It does. It does. Yeah, I have no problem saying that.
00:04:59.100 She has no problem saying it's big government interference.
00:05:02.340 She has no problem saying it's a massive government spending program.
00:05:06.840 This is a difference. I mean, this is a marked difference from the progressives,
00:05:12.060 I guess, from the time of really FDR, though certainly from the time of Lyndon Johnson,
00:05:17.480 but really, I guess, FDR even.
00:05:19.500 When progressives and left-wingers want to spend a lot of your money,
00:05:23.200 they usually pretend that they're not doing it.
00:05:25.480 They'll say, no, no, it's not that big a deal.
00:05:27.400 No, it's not. It'll be covered by this and that and this and that.
00:05:30.540 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortense is saying, no, we are going to spend a ton of money.
00:05:35.360 You remember she launched her congressional career not by protesting Trump,
00:05:39.440 but by protesting Nancy Pelosi, sitting in her office about the Green New Deal.
00:05:43.920 And you're probably wondering, why is this woman who's a socialist,
00:05:48.600 that's her main issue is socialism, why is she focusing on environmentalism?
00:05:54.500 Why? It's the Green New Deal. It's for environmental regulations.
00:05:58.080 Why is it?
00:06:00.860 The answer to that question explains why conservatives remain skeptical of global warming,
00:06:06.760 why conservatives are skeptical of plans to come back global warming.
00:06:11.320 She's really exposed the environmentalist movement for what it is,
00:06:15.500 which is socialism by the back door.
00:06:17.660 So let's take a look at some of the draft legislation for the Green New Deal.
00:06:22.220 Scope of the plan for the Green New Deal and the draft legislation.
00:06:27.180 The plan for a Green New Deal shall be developed with the objective of reaching the following outcomes
00:06:32.380 within the target window of 10 years from the start of execution of the plan.
00:06:37.440 So they've got a 10-year plan.
00:06:39.580 Chairman Mao had a five-year plan, or was it Stalin?
00:06:41.940 I don't know.
00:06:42.400 One of those two had a five-year plan,
00:06:44.760 and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortense has a 10-year plan.
00:06:48.080 One, dramatically expand existing renewable power resources
00:06:52.940 and deploy new production capacity with the goal of meeting 100% of national power demand
00:07:00.420 through renewable resources.
00:07:02.980 So what she's saying is no gas, no oil, no coal, none of that.
00:07:10.240 We're going to meet within 10 years.
00:07:12.000 We're going to get rid of all of our sources of energy other than renewable.
00:07:14.480 What is renewable?
00:07:15.560 Is it the windmills that kill all those birds that produce approximately 0% of our national energy?
00:07:23.100 Is that what she's talking about?
00:07:24.600 Just to put this in perspective right now,
00:07:27.320 I think the left, they're very confused on the specifics.
00:07:30.280 They only learn broad trends, so they don't know actually how the numbers break down.
00:07:34.420 Right now, natural gas constitutes 32% of our national energy, 32%.
00:07:42.420 Coal constitutes 18% of our nation's energy supply.
00:07:47.920 Liquid natural gas and oil, 28% of our energy supply.
00:07:53.820 And then, for some reason, the Green New Deal even eliminates nuclear.
00:07:57.960 Nuclear energy doesn't add CO2 to the environment.
00:08:01.220 It doesn't create air pollution.
00:08:02.960 It's extraordinarily efficient as a form of energy.
00:08:05.620 But it's icky.
00:08:07.660 They don't like it because it's tied to, I don't know, the Cold War or something.
00:08:12.220 They think of it as, so they want to get rid of nuclear too.
00:08:15.140 Nuclear provides 10% of our energy.
00:08:17.320 So how much of our, something like 87% or something of our national energy,
00:08:23.520 she's going to get rid of within 10 years.
00:08:26.800 And somehow, you know, between 10 and 20% of our national energy,
00:08:32.140 they're going, that's going to constitute 100% of our national energy supply within 10 years.
00:08:37.300 How many jobs do you think that would destroy?
00:08:40.480 If you took away, just even, obviously it would wreck our economy.
00:08:43.400 We're talking about the energy that fuels our whole economy.
00:08:45.540 But then even just looking at the people who work in those sectors,
00:08:48.360 it would destroy 5.8 million jobs like that.
00:08:51.900 It would destroy 5.8 million jobs by government fiat.
00:08:56.540 The plan goes on.
00:08:59.080 They would upgrade every residential and industrial building
00:09:05.160 for state-of-the-art energy efficiency, comfort, and safety.
00:09:10.740 Did you upgrade every, not just industrial, every residential and industrial building?
00:09:16.820 Every building in the United States would be ripped apart
00:09:20.620 and then reconstructed as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wants it to.
00:09:25.920 Do you like your house?
00:09:26.860 If you like your house, you can't keep your house.
00:09:30.280 Beautiful old mansions, you know, the old buildings,
00:09:33.820 all the wonderful old buildings in New York, San Francisco, ripped down.
00:09:40.400 No more, none of that.
00:09:41.680 It all has to be redone according to the central plan devised in 2019
00:09:46.220 by this ridiculous, empty-headed Bolshevik who pretends that she grew up in the Bronx.
00:09:53.280 I have to get that in there because even the parts of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's political platform
00:10:00.100 that are sort of endearing, you know, she's young, she's bubbly, her upbringing,
00:10:04.160 even that largely is a farce.
00:10:08.720 The Green New Deal goes on.
00:10:10.280 Eliminating greenhouse gas emissions from repairing and improving transportation and other infrastructure.
00:10:18.140 Okay, now you might have gotten a little lost in there.
00:10:20.220 They're going to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions from transportation.
00:10:23.260 Well, that doesn't just mean trains, that means airplanes, that means your own car.
00:10:31.960 So within 10 years, your automobile is outlawed.
00:10:37.000 Air travel, outlawed.
00:10:39.740 Unless they come up with some new magic airplane that flies on dreams and gumdrops and hope,
00:10:45.760 air travel outlawed, cars that burn gas outlawed.
00:10:50.940 So I guess it would allow for electric cars.
00:10:54.460 But also, you have to ask yourself, where do you think electricity comes from?
00:11:00.020 Do you think it comes from magic?
00:11:02.020 Do you think it just comes from the air?
00:11:04.540 No.
00:11:05.220 It comes from burning coal and a lot of other...
00:11:07.720 So even the idea that we'll just fuel it on electricity is absurd.
00:11:12.640 Where are you going to get the electricity?
00:11:15.300 Where on earth does...
00:11:16.160 And then there's a further irony,
00:11:17.660 which is that all of these electric or hybrid cars, Tesla, Prius, are terrible for the environment.
00:11:23.360 Because in building those batteries, it creates far more environmental destruction than burning fossil fuels.
00:11:29.580 Unless you keep your Prius for, you know, 20 some odd years or something.
00:11:33.520 Which, I don't know if you've ever been around those cars.
00:11:35.420 They don't last that long.
00:11:36.360 And they're very, very expensive to maintain.
00:11:38.240 Okay.
00:11:39.560 Part B.
00:11:40.020 We're not even on Part B yet.
00:11:43.120 We've already destroyed the American economy.
00:11:45.380 We've already killed off almost 6 million jobs.
00:11:47.660 We've already ruined your house.
00:11:49.320 You don't get your house anymore.
00:11:50.420 We've already taken away your car.
00:11:51.940 We're not on Part B.
00:11:53.100 We'll get to Part B in a second.
00:11:54.200 But first, let's make a little money, honey.
00:11:56.220 With Purple Mattress.
00:11:57.720 This is where you can have nice dreams.
00:11:59.580 Not nightmares like our current prospective public policy.
00:12:02.980 But you have really nice dreams on Purple Mattress.
00:12:05.440 You know that I'm a proselytizer for Purple Mattress.
00:12:07.840 I love it so much.
00:12:09.680 It has saved my marriage.
00:12:11.420 I, you know, I believe I have the flu.
00:12:14.240 I got it like a couple days ago.
00:12:16.660 I really came down with all the symptoms.
00:12:18.460 And I got to tell you, I credit getting a little bit better with my Purple Mattress.
00:12:22.840 Because I lie down in my Purple Mattress.
00:12:24.800 I'm asleep instantly.
00:12:26.340 It is not a memory foam.
00:12:27.640 It's not an innerspring.
00:12:30.800 It's sort of this new technology.
00:12:33.380 Which, on top of the couple layers of memory foam,
00:12:36.200 it has this thing developed by a rocket scientist.
00:12:38.860 It's, it's both firm and soft at the same time.
00:12:40.920 How is that possible?
00:12:41.760 You just have to try it.
00:12:43.140 It, uh, it, the mattress is, it sleeps cool.
00:12:48.380 But you're not, you know, you can obviously, you control your temperature.
00:12:51.040 It's just really, really nice.
00:12:52.980 A hundred night risk-free trial.
00:12:54.220 If you're not fully satisfied, you can return your mattress for a full refund.
00:12:57.500 Backed by 10-year warranty, free shipping and returns.
00:12:59.700 You're going to love Purple.
00:13:00.660 Right now, my listeners will get a free Purple Pillow with the purchase of a mattress.
00:13:03.920 That's in addition to the great free gifts they're offering site-wide.
00:13:06.760 Text COVFEFE, C-O-V-F-E-F-E, to 474747.
00:13:09.740 This is the only way to get this free pillow.
00:13:11.700 C-O-V-F-E-F-E to 474747.
00:13:16.320 Message and data rates will apply.
00:13:18.960 Maybe they'll apply.
00:13:19.580 I don't know.
00:13:20.560 You know your cell phone better than I do.
00:13:22.820 Part B of the Green New Deal.
00:13:24.280 The plan for a Green New Deal and the draft legislation shall recognize that a national, industrial, economic mobilization of this scope and scale is an historic opportunity to virtually eliminate poverty in the United States and to make prosperity, wealth, and economic security available to everyone participating in this transformation.
00:13:48.340 This reads like the Bill of Rights of some banana republic, some tin pot dictatorship, some ridiculous utopian scheme dreamed up either by a Latin American dictator or by a freshman in college after like four too many hits on the bong.
00:14:05.860 That's what that reads.
00:14:06.760 What has happened just in the course of history, even the course of American history, when we have tried to eliminate poverty, how has that worked out?
00:14:15.220 People have tried it since the dawn of time.
00:14:18.340 Has that ever worked?
00:14:20.280 No.
00:14:20.760 To quote Ronald Reagan, we fought a war on poverty and poverty won.
00:14:24.820 The poor will always be with us, as a wise man said.
00:14:29.260 So that's, when you look down into even just part B, you say, okay, we've been talking about energy, crazy plans for renewable energy and the environment, but okay.
00:14:41.180 But now, what does this have to do with the environment?
00:14:44.060 We're going to eliminate poverty?
00:14:45.800 We're going to make prosperity, wealth, and economic security available to everyone in this transformation?
00:14:53.280 Now you get to what they're really after, which is that this Green New Deal is just a facade for socialism.
00:15:02.700 All that green, that green is just a little patina on top of the real color, which is red.
00:15:09.520 It is socialism.
00:15:10.800 And actually, this plan goes all the way to communism.
00:15:13.660 Number one, provide all members of our society, across all regions and all communities, the opportunity, training, and education to be a full participant in the transition, including through a job guarantee program to assure a living wage to every person who wants one.
00:15:32.920 So, a job guarantee program, okay, now, this is a little tricky.
00:15:37.740 Who doesn't want a job?
00:15:39.560 Bums, I guess, don't want jobs, or the retired don't want a job, or kids, little kids don't want jobs.
00:15:44.360 The job guarantee program is the great example of a government that is big enough to give you everything you want being big enough to take away everything that you have.
00:15:56.780 Because part of the job guarantee program, this has been touted in a lot of different places by proponents of the Green New Deal, is that it does away with the need to have an unemployment insurance.
00:16:08.200 You've got a job guarantee.
00:16:10.940 The government is the backstop for employment.
00:16:13.940 If you go to the Green Party's website, they have the more fully fleshed out version of the Green New Deal.
00:16:20.640 They lay this out explicitly.
00:16:22.580 That line is only implicit in this legislation, though it is implicit.
00:16:27.260 But why would you have unemployment insurance when the government is your final backstop?
00:16:32.680 Okay, maybe that sounds good, but then what does that mean?
00:16:35.140 It means that the government, just from part one of the legislation, the government is going to go in and take jobs away from almost six million Americans.
00:16:42.240 And then they're going to take away their unemployment insurance, too.
00:16:44.780 So what are they going to do?
00:16:46.020 They're going to force those people to take the job that the government wants them to take.
00:16:52.080 Guaranteed job.
00:16:52.960 Oh, isn't that great?
00:16:54.880 Hey, we're going to guarantee you a job.
00:16:57.520 You know who else guarantees a job?
00:16:59.180 China guarantees jobs for people.
00:17:01.560 You know who else guarantees jobs?
00:17:03.540 The Soviet Union guarantees you had the right to a job.
00:17:07.940 Actually, not just the right.
00:17:09.240 You needed to have the job.
00:17:10.720 You needed to have the job that the government gave you.
00:17:13.360 And it's really not a great idea if you don't take that job.
00:17:17.280 You better do a good job, too.
00:17:19.300 You better make your boss happy.
00:17:20.980 Oh, your boss can be pretty mean when you don't do a good job.
00:17:24.720 And who's your boss here?
00:17:25.800 The most powerful force ever devised.
00:17:28.840 The most powerful political force on the face of the earth.
00:17:31.360 Okay, part two.
00:17:33.960 Diversify local and regional communities with a particular focus on communities where the fossil fuel industry holds significant control over the labor market.
00:17:44.560 Diversify local and regional economies?
00:17:46.740 What does that mean?
00:17:47.420 It could mean one of two things.
00:17:49.060 You either diversify it by the people or you diversify it by the industry.
00:17:53.780 So in one case, you're moving people.
00:17:56.540 You're forcibly moving people around to different regions, different places.
00:18:00.340 This obviously has happened in every command and control economy in the world, in all of history.
00:18:05.340 Or you are diversifying the industries that are there.
00:18:09.520 So you have a command and control economy that is saying, nope, I don't want there to be this industry in Detroit.
00:18:15.660 I'm going to take that out.
00:18:16.460 I'm going to replace it with this.
00:18:17.540 Because I, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, know much better how to run industry than the people who run those industries and work in those industries and have family in different places and have different economic incentives to move different places.
00:18:30.620 I, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, I studied economics at Boston University.
00:18:37.160 And then I said I'm not the expert.
00:18:39.800 I studied international relations, but I'm not the expert.
00:18:42.100 I, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, I was a bartender for like a year or something.
00:18:47.800 And according to voter records, lived with my parents until a couple years ago.
00:18:52.000 I know much better how to run every single industry in the United States than the people who run those industries.
00:19:00.960 Okay.
00:19:02.440 We're still in part two.
00:19:04.620 This is section four of part two.
00:19:06.760 Ensure a just transition for all workers, low-income communities, communities of color, indigenous communities, rural and urban communities, and the frontline communities most affected by climate change.
00:19:19.600 What?
00:19:20.540 What does any of that mean?
00:19:22.020 First of all, first of all, just notice what they do here.
00:19:24.700 They say a just transition for all workers.
00:19:27.620 So that could be the end of it, right?
00:19:29.400 Because you've already got a guaranteed job, so everybody's a worker.
00:19:32.440 It's the workers of America unite.
00:19:33.900 Ensure a just transition for all workers.
00:19:37.880 And then it names all of these specific victim groups, so-called victim groups, intersectionality groups, low-income communities of color, indigenous communities.
00:19:47.040 Are the indigenous communities not communities of color?
00:19:49.860 And what's a community of color?
00:19:51.300 Rural and urban communities.
00:19:53.840 What other communities are there?
00:19:56.140 There's rural and there's urban, a suburban, ex-urban, I don't know.
00:19:59.220 And what is a just transition?
00:20:00.940 We're now trusting Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to give us a new definition of justice and to transition.
00:20:06.980 Listen to that language, that presumptuous language.
00:20:10.900 We're going to transition.
00:20:12.780 We're not just going to transition from one trade deal with Mexico to another.
00:20:17.660 We're not just going to transition from one sort of security pact with a country to another.
00:20:24.260 No, no.
00:20:25.500 We're going to transition everything.
00:20:29.200 Your house, your car, your job, your energy, where you live, where you can live, where you can work, what sort of job.
00:20:38.280 We're transitioning, but don't worry.
00:20:40.840 We, the people who are just saying right now that we're going to take away everything you have, every material thing that you have,
00:20:47.000 we are going to make sure that it's really just.
00:20:50.980 We clearly have a good idea of justice, don't we?
00:20:53.600 Don't we?

00:22:08.280 Equal Housing Lender.
00:22:09.900 We get into section number five here.
00:22:12.280 Protect and enforce sovereign rights and land rights of tribal nations.
00:22:18.780 What does this have to do with protecting the environment?
00:22:22.880 Sovereign tribal nations.
00:22:24.140 Yeah, tribal nations have reservations.
00:22:27.060 They're terrible places.
00:22:28.480 Those people should all come to America.
00:22:30.220 They would do much better.
00:22:31.240 They would have a much better life.
00:22:32.900 But they do exist.
00:22:34.280 Reservations do exist.
00:22:35.180 They're very, very sad places.
00:22:36.980 And I guess the Green New Deal is going to continue to allow Native American reservations.
00:22:44.000 Okay, cool, whatever.
00:22:44.980 Mitigate deeply entrenched racial, regional, and gender-based inequalities in income and
00:22:51.560 wealth, including, without limitation, ensuring that federal and other investment will be equally
00:22:57.120 distributed to historically impoverished, low-income, de-industrialized, or other marginalized communities
00:23:02.240 in such a way that builds wealth and ownership at the community level.
00:23:04.960 So this just means redistributing all of the wealth held by anybody in this country for
00:23:12.820 any reason whatsoever that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sees fit.
00:23:17.680 What this has to do with protecting the environment, we have no idea.
00:23:22.280 Mitigate deeply entrenched racial, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:23:24.740 Not even just income.
00:23:25.900 It's not even just raising taxes.
00:23:27.040 It's actual wealth confiscation that is being listed in this draft legislation.
00:23:32.780 Take money from anybody we want for any reason.
00:23:36.100 Your race, your sex.
00:23:38.020 They could say, okay, yeah, Asians have too much money.
00:23:41.840 All Asian people need to give away 25% of their wealth.
00:23:45.740 And we're going to redistribute it, which really just keep it for the government.
00:23:48.740 But we're going to redistribute it to, I don't know, black people or Hispanic people or whatever.
00:23:55.220 Because, oh, the Asians, they have too much money.
00:23:58.180 The white people have too much money.
00:24:00.960 Never mind, of course, that there is huge variation in the wealth among different races.
00:24:09.380 If we're talking about the marginalized, historically oppressed communities,
00:24:13.240 we're going to redistribute money to black people, say.
00:24:15.800 That seems to be the implication.
00:24:16.900 Do Beyonce and Jay-Z, they get a check from me because of historical discrimination?
00:24:25.940 That's what this says.
00:24:27.620 I'm going to have to, me, Michael Knowles, I'm going to have to cut a check to Beyonce Knowles,
00:24:33.220 who has, I don't know, her combined wealth with Jay-Z is what, a billion dollars?
00:24:37.080 I'm going to have to cut a check for not just my income, for my wealth because of historical discrimination.
00:24:44.680 Green New Deal.
00:24:45.260 That'll protect the environment somehow.
00:24:47.860 There will be additional measures, including basic income programs, universal health care programs,
00:24:52.580 and any others as the select committee may seem appropriate, may deem appropriate.
00:24:57.220 So now, just universal health care alone, they're saying we're going to allow the possibility of universal health care,
00:25:04.280 read socialist medicine, as the committee deems appropriate, not as the legislature deems appropriate,
00:25:10.140 not as the various states deem appropriate.
00:25:12.020 No, no, no.
00:25:12.860 This power to govern your life and death, this power to govern what doctor you go to see,
00:25:19.820 what medical insurance you're allowed to have, there won't be any more medical insurance,
00:25:22.620 the government will control it all.
00:25:24.140 You don't even get to make the decision as to whether or not that happens.
00:25:27.420 One-sixth of the American economy, the health care system, will be totally destroyed and demolished
00:25:36.800 by some committee that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sets up.
00:25:41.280 Dictator Ocasio-Cortez.
00:25:43.340 She Guevara.
00:25:44.260 And then, this is my favorite part.
00:25:48.060 The majority of financing of the plan shall be accomplished by the federal government
00:25:51.920 using a combination of the Federal Reserve and new public bank or system of regional and specialized public banks,
00:25:57.100 public venture funds, and such other vehicles or structures that the select committee deems appropriate.
00:26:02.340 And if you were confused by that, you can check in right now on the facts, the FAQs here.
00:26:11.100 They say, how are they going to pay for this program?
00:26:18.460 So, the level of investment required is massive.
00:26:22.500 Even if every billionaire and company came together and were willing to pour all their resources at their disposal,
00:26:27.220 the aggregate value of the investments could not be sufficient.
00:26:31.180 And the speed would be massive.
00:26:32.960 So, they're actually saying, no, we're not just going to tax the rich.
00:26:35.560 We're going to take away wealth from everybody.
00:26:38.840 Or, or maybe they won't.
00:26:40.400 Maybe they won't take away the wealth from everybody.
00:26:42.960 The way that they're going to do it is the same way that we funded the Second World War.
00:26:49.700 It's the same way that we funded quantitative easing, the bank bailout.
00:26:56.100 Quantitative easing is the key here.
00:26:57.680 The way that they're going to do it is by printing money.
00:27:03.080 That's what she says.
00:27:03.980 When she's talking about the Federal Reserve, and then we're going to work with them, extend credit, we're just going to print money.
00:27:09.100 Because it's going to cost $40 trillion.
00:27:10.980 So, we're just going to print money.
00:27:13.960 And then, truly, we are not caricaturing this legend.
00:27:17.440 We've gone through it line by line.
00:27:19.600 Her plan for how to pay for it, she hasn't come up with a better answer than I don't know, is we're going to invent money.
00:27:26.180 We're going to print it out of the sky.
00:27:27.820 And, by the way, just before we go to the sub-break, I have got to point out, she says here, the Green Deal has great momentum.
00:27:34.000 92% of Democrats and 64% of Republicans support the Green New Deal.
00:27:38.140 That isn't true.
00:27:40.100 She got that statistic from the Yale's Program for Climate Change Communication study, which is true.
00:27:47.260 Those numbers are true from that study.
00:27:48.780 The trouble with that study is that, I think the number is 82% of people, yes, 82% of respondents to that study had never heard of the Green New Deal before they asked the question.
00:27:59.620 So, the way they asked the question is this.
00:28:01.220 They said, quote, some members of Congress are proposing a Green New Deal.
00:28:04.700 They say the Green New Deal will produce jobs and strengthen America's economy by accelerating the transition from fossil fuels.
00:28:10.340 The deal would generate 100% of the nation's electricity from clean renewable resources within the next 10 years.
00:28:15.840 On and on and on.
00:28:16.520 So, basically, the question is, hey, do you support this really, really great legislation?
00:28:20.780 And then a lot of people say yes.
00:28:22.660 That, of course, is not at all what the Green New Deal is.
00:28:25.000 You just read what it is.
00:28:26.200 And the people who were asked had never heard of it.
00:28:28.960 It is a total lie through and through.
00:28:31.700 And it's a lie to take away every single thing you have.
00:28:35.600 Your car, your job, your money, your house, your control over your own government.
00:28:41.820 It is communism through and through.
00:28:43.820 That's all it is.
00:28:44.920 And this is being pushed by the superstar of the Democrat Party.
00:28:50.240 Speaking of the Democrat Party, in just one second we'll show you Joy Behar in blackface because, you know, why not?
00:28:56.540 But first we've got to think about Facebook and YouTube.
00:28:58.620 Make sure you come back for the mailbag because that's coming up right after this.
00:29:02.020 Ten bucks a month, hundred dollars for an annual membership.
00:29:03.760 You get me.
00:29:04.220 You get the Andrew Klavan show.
00:29:04.980 You get the Ben Shapiro show.
00:29:05.640 You get to ask questions in the mailbag.
00:29:06.540 You get the Matt Wall show.
00:29:07.640 You get to ask questions backstage.
00:29:08.660 You get another kingdom.
00:29:10.640 You get all of that.
00:29:11.220 You get the Leftist Tears Tumblr.
00:29:13.220 The Leftist Tears Tumblr is very important.
00:29:14.880 You're going to have to keep this and save all of your Leftist Tears because once they push through the Green New Deal and we're all starving, the only thing that you will be able to sustain yourself on are the Leftist Tears from how great our politics is at the moment.
00:29:31.760 It could all turn to trash if these people ever get power, but for right now it's really good.
00:29:37.520 So store up your Leftist Tears for tomorrow for a rainy day or for a dry day, I guess, and come on back in one second.
00:29:43.700 We'll be right back with the mailbag.
00:29:54.540 Now, I'm sorry.
00:29:55.580 I want to get to the mailbag as soon as possible, but I just can't do it without showing you Joy Behar in blackface.
00:30:01.760 In the New York Times, they had an op-ed piece in praise of naturally curly hair.
00:30:06.260 They say that it's making a comeback.
00:30:08.860 When did you leave?
00:30:09.580 I've always had curly hair.
00:30:10.640 Y'all late.
00:30:11.260 That it's a feminist statement.
00:30:13.680 Huh?
00:30:14.500 What are you doing?
00:30:15.820 No, I'm...
00:30:16.780 Is that you, Joy?
00:30:17.920 Oh, you know this picture...
00:30:19.960 Joy, is that you?
00:30:20.820 Joy, that is you?
00:30:21.840 Oh, my God.
00:30:22.140 Joy, are you black?
00:30:23.280 No, I know.
00:30:25.220 Joy, Joy.
00:30:28.540 I was so cute.
00:30:29.860 Joy, how cute I was.
00:30:31.080 Are you my auntie, Joy?
00:30:34.080 That is me.
00:30:36.700 Oh, my word.
00:30:37.300 What year is this?
00:30:38.140 Circa what?
00:30:38.580 I was 29.
00:30:40.000 It was a Halloween party.
00:30:41.280 I went as a beautiful African woman.
00:30:43.260 Oh, yes.
00:30:43.900 You ain't black.
00:30:44.520 But that's my hair.
00:30:46.280 That's my hair.
00:30:47.660 You can be...
00:30:48.340 Yeah, but it is...
00:30:49.460 So, the whole point of...
00:30:50.580 Why are you upset with me now?
00:30:51.860 That is me.
00:30:54.220 Did you have tanning lotion on, Joy?
00:30:55.900 A little...
00:30:56.260 I had makeup that was a little bit darker than my skin.
00:30:58.740 Uh-huh, uh-huh.
00:31:00.040 Let's go to fix it.
00:31:00.680 But that's my actual hair.
00:31:02.300 I love it, though.
00:31:03.400 Megyn Kelly was kicked off of NBC News for asking the question as to whether or not it's maybe acceptable to wear a Diana Ross costume because you really admire the singer.
00:31:18.820 And to dress up basically exactly like Joy Behar did there.
00:31:23.240 She was immediately removed from NBC News, dragged throughout the press.
00:31:28.640 Joy Behar still gets to be on The View.
00:31:32.620 Ralph Northam, Democrat governor of Indiana, he's still the governor.
00:31:36.540 Wore blackface.
00:31:37.640 Also, defends infanticide.
00:31:40.200 He's still the governor.
00:31:41.440 AG of Virginia, also wore blackface in the 80s.
00:31:44.380 He's still the AG of Virginia because being a Democrat means never having to say that you're sorry.
00:31:51.200 Now, look, do I care about people wearing racially or ethnically or culturally tinged costumes?
00:31:58.400 Well, it depends on the circumstances.
00:32:00.880 Obviously, it depends on the circumstances.
00:32:04.080 On that show, you know, they're talking about this.
00:32:08.420 You've got different races of cackling hens on the show.
00:32:12.740 No, I'm sorry, I shouldn't say that.
00:32:13.640 Different races of women on the show talking about it.
00:32:16.560 Nobody seems to really be offended by it.
00:32:19.560 They let Joy off the hook for it.
00:32:21.680 Okay.
00:32:22.600 Whatever.
00:32:23.300 That's fine.
00:32:25.460 But now we have this knee-jerk reaction.
00:32:28.140 We have a knee-jerk one rule for everything.
00:32:30.160 You can't wear a sombrero.
00:32:31.240 You can't even eat a taco bowl if you are a white person.
00:32:34.320 Okay, well, if we're going to have one rule for everybody, how come the Democrats always get to break the rule?
00:32:41.220 Basically, every single prominent Democrat in the country within the last week has admitted or is about to admit that they wore blackface in the 1980s.
00:32:49.960 If it were Republicans, they would probably be being tortured at Guantanamo Bay right now.
00:32:55.000 But Democrats, they get away with it.
00:32:56.560 I'm not a fan of universal one-rule-fits-all cultural rules based on faddish moral trends.
00:33:05.920 I'm not for that.
00:33:06.940 I prefer a little grace.
00:33:07.980 I prefer a little forgiveness, too.
00:33:10.020 But if we're going to have it, I think we have to hold Democrats to the same standards.
00:33:13.840 Let's get to the mailbag.
00:33:14.800 I need my glasses for the mailbag.
00:33:17.560 I need to, ooh, now I'm culturally appropriating Rachel Maddow again.
00:33:20.720 From Dylan, why do people on the left crave illegal immigration from Central and South America, in which most people are religious Christians, yet they think Christians are backwards?
00:33:31.820 What you're asking is the question of intersectionality.
00:33:34.800 How is it that devout, even extreme Muslims and gay rights activists can both unite together in the intersectionality pyramid of oppression to oppose Big Daddy America or something,
00:33:54.760 when in many Muslim countries you see people throwing gay people off of roofs?
00:34:00.900 Homosexuality is illegal.
00:34:03.620 How is that?
00:34:04.680 How does that jive?
00:34:05.500 It's because it has nothing to do with reality itself.
00:34:11.240 It has nothing to do with truth itself.
00:34:13.000 It has nothing to do with the beliefs of these people.
00:34:15.060 It has nothing even to do with the actions of these people.
00:34:17.680 All it has to do with is perceived oppression.
00:34:22.380 All it has to do, actually, is with opposition to the perceived oppressor.
00:34:27.360 And the perceived oppressor is the Western tradition.
00:34:32.400 That's it.
00:34:32.900 The perceived oppressor.
00:34:35.280 The perceived oppressor.
00:34:36.020 So the greatest embodiment of that today is the United States of America.
00:34:42.040 And I think where they get their racism from is they picture like an old white guy as the face of America.
00:34:48.900 If you look around America today, I don't think that's really fair to say, but that's what they see.
00:34:54.680 So they always go after the image of the perceived oppressor as the representative of the Western tradition.
00:35:01.040 And if that means importing a bunch of devout Christians into America, they'll do it because they don't care exactly about those contradictions.
00:35:09.460 They just want to attack their perceived oppressor.
00:35:12.400 From Amanda, dear Mr. Knowles, in a nutshell, what is the difference between Catholicism and Christian orthodoxy?
00:35:20.360 Can you play devil's advocate and explain why orthodoxy is better?
00:35:24.120 Kind regards, Derek and Amanda.
00:35:27.020 Catholicism is Christian orthodoxy.
00:35:29.080 I think what you're referring to is Eastern orthodoxy.
00:35:32.120 And you're asking me to be the devil's advocate by defending it.
00:35:35.160 No, that's not fair.
00:35:36.200 I view the West and the East as the two lungs of Christianity.
00:35:40.400 There are some theological differences.
00:35:43.380 One that gets a lot of plays, the Filioque, the Nicene Creed reads that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son.
00:35:54.140 The Holy Spirit is the bond of love between the Father and the Son, and the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son.
00:36:00.940 Christ will send this advocate to you.
00:36:04.020 And the Eastern Orthodox Church, as I understand it, believes that the Holy Spirit proceeds only from the Father.
00:36:10.260 And this has a lot of other theological implications.
00:36:12.380 There are relatively minor theological differences between the West and the East.
00:36:18.320 Now, I am Catholic because I believe in the institution of the Catholic Church.
00:36:23.360 I believe it's divinely instituted by Christ.
00:36:25.820 I believe in the line of succession from Peter, who he appoints to be his rock, and on which he builds his church.
00:36:32.820 And so I believe that the Catholic Church is the Catholic Church.
00:36:35.800 And I think the evidence clearly shows that.
00:36:38.780 However, the Eastern Orthodox Church has a lot going for it.
00:36:41.940 Liturgically speaking, almost in all places today, in the United States at least, the Eastern Orthodox Church has a much finer liturgy, a much more beautiful liturgy.
00:36:50.700 They sing the whole liturgy.
00:36:52.020 The liturgy is supposed to be sung.
00:36:53.940 It's much more liturgically serious.
00:36:56.520 It's a real serious event of worshiping God.
00:37:00.260 You know, in the traditional Latin Mass, that's a very serious liturgy as well.
00:37:03.960 Today, now, we have the priests facing the people, oftentimes putting on what looks to be a dying vaudeville show.
00:37:11.080 And they're just there, often giving soft soap to people.
00:37:15.120 What one theologian described as the homiletics saying, well, I might suggest that you try to be a nice person.
00:37:22.960 You know, there's not a whole lot of serious worship.
00:37:26.120 And, you know, when the priest faces away from the rest of the parish, he is leading you in prayer.
00:37:34.420 And you are all worshiping God together.
00:37:36.140 When he turns around, it makes it a little bit more of a show, a little bit more of a performance.
00:37:41.160 When the liturgy is not sung, it allows for much more personality.
00:37:45.340 And it turns the priest, oftentimes, into a two-bit actor at the very worst.
00:37:50.440 So I really, really admire the Eastern Orthodox liturgy.
00:37:55.080 I still think that the Catholic Church is the church.
00:37:57.880 But I pray for the reunion of the East and West because it would be nicer to see a full union of the two lungs of Christianity.
00:38:08.720 From Austin.
00:38:10.220 Hey, Michael, I live in an area with a lot of homeless people.
00:38:12.520 What do you think should be done in cities that struggle with large homeless populations?
00:38:16.540 Should it be something that the government helps with?
00:38:18.900 Thanks.
00:38:20.440 Bulldozers are one answer.
00:38:22.440 And I mean that.
00:38:23.200 I'm only half kidding.
00:38:24.220 We have to at least bulldoze the tent cities.
00:38:27.120 They're horrific.
00:38:28.560 They're a disgrace.
00:38:30.440 They're illegal, usually.
00:38:32.780 They are a hazard to both the people living around the tent cities and to the people living in them themselves.
00:38:39.620 There are a lot of drugs.
00:38:40.660 There's a lot of rape.
00:38:41.300 There's a lot of crime.
00:38:42.180 There's nothing compassionate about people living on the streets.
00:38:44.880 Living on the streets is a dysfunctional act that harms the individual and that harms society.
00:38:50.440 There are homeless shelters.
00:38:52.440 There are a lot of homeless shelters in a lot of places.
00:38:55.040 Some are privately run and some have been built by the government.
00:38:58.360 That's good.
00:38:59.220 If you need more of them, maybe build some more of them.
00:39:01.540 That's fine.
00:39:02.820 But very often homeless people don't want to go to those shelters because they're not allowed to do drugs there.
00:39:07.420 They're not allowed to do whatever they want there.
00:39:08.840 They're not allowed to panhandle and make a bunch of money there.
00:39:11.900 Okay.
00:39:12.580 If they're not willing to go to those shelters, then they need to be arrested and put in prison.
00:39:16.720 And that's the choice.
00:39:18.080 And Mayor Giuliani did a wonderful job in New York cleaning up that city.
00:39:23.100 And he did it by not tolerating people living on the street.
00:39:27.280 And everybody was better off because of it.
00:39:29.960 The people who were homeless or formerly homeless, often who have mental problems or drug addictions or whatever,
00:39:35.340 some of whom are just selfish bums, all of them were helped by not letting them live on the street.
00:39:41.140 And obviously the city was improved.
00:39:43.040 The economy was improved.
00:39:44.080 Businesses were more likely to come back there.
00:39:46.640 Kids were safer.
00:39:47.780 Families were safer.
00:39:48.900 It was just a much better place to live.
00:39:50.480 From Arun.
00:39:52.060 Dear Dr. Covfefe, which sport is more American, baseball or football?
00:39:55.460 Baseball.
00:39:56.360 Much more American.
00:39:57.300 America's national pastime.
00:39:59.140 It's a much more sophisticated sport.
00:40:01.660 It's a much more civilized sport.
00:40:03.640 It's just a better sport all around.
00:40:06.020 From Brendan.
00:40:06.880 Oh, Catholic one.
00:40:08.080 My friends and I were discussing same-sex marriage.
00:40:10.660 I said that I believed marriage required sexual difference due to the ability to procreate.
00:40:15.300 They said that to follow that logic then, men or women physically unable to have children would not be able to marry.
00:40:20.820 I'm stumped.
00:40:21.300 How do you respond to that?
00:40:22.180 Thank you, Brendan.
00:40:23.200 Well, marriage requires sexual difference, but not exclusively because of procreation.
00:40:29.120 There are a lot of other reasons why sexual difference matters.
00:40:31.840 Men and women are different.
00:40:32.780 They complement each other in more ways than just the physical.
00:40:35.600 Women tend to be more nurturing.
00:40:36.940 They tend to have a greater emotional sensitivity.
00:40:41.520 Men tend to have a greater ability to compartmentalize.
00:40:45.580 There is obviously a psychological and spiritual complementarity there as well.
00:40:51.380 Plenty of famous couples in history have had trouble having children.
00:40:56.060 Abraham and Sarah, a pretty good example of it, I think.
00:40:59.040 But a lot of others as well.
00:41:02.700 The ability to procreate is not the condition for marriage.
00:41:09.000 Although one, certainly in the Catholic Church, two people cannot be married if one of them is impotent.
00:41:17.400 They can't have sex.
00:41:19.240 Sex is important to marriage.
00:41:20.640 And if it's not possible for you to have sex, then that is not a marriage.
00:41:30.640 But, of course, sex that does not occur between a man and a woman is by definition impotent.
00:41:36.540 It doesn't bear any even logical possibility to produce life.
00:41:42.320 So, here's an answer for you.
00:41:43.500 From Benjamin, dear master of the inkless pen, as a Christian, I struggle with what my posture toward abortion doctors and those that have had or encouraged someone to have an abortion should be.
00:41:55.940 To me, they seem no different than hit men and those who have put a hit out on someone.
00:42:00.080 Is there a difference, Ben?
00:42:02.140 Well, there's a difference in so much as perhaps they don't understand the gravity of what they're doing.
00:42:07.580 Plenty of times we do things and we don't understand the gravity of what we're doing.
00:42:10.760 Whereas, for the hit man, it's a little harder to misunderstand the gravity of what they're doing.
00:42:15.960 That said, I know people who have murdered people.
00:42:19.880 I'm friends with people who have murdered people and turned their life around.
00:42:25.160 I guess if you live in New York, there's a good chance, you know, no, it's a stereotype.
00:42:29.160 So, I think the way that you approach these people is with patience and grace.
00:42:33.960 That's always what we do.
00:42:35.600 Firmness in the truth, but patience and grace to bring them over to your side.
00:42:40.380 From Jonathan, dear master of trollery, destructor of the libs, I am avidly pro-life.
00:42:46.840 However, I have conflicting ideas when it comes to rape or if the mother's life is in legitimate risk.
00:42:52.320 What do you think should be acceptable?
00:42:54.520 Thanks.
00:42:55.380 Came for Shapiro, Clavin, and Knowles.
00:42:57.220 Stayed for Shapiro, Clavin, and Knowles, but also listened to Walsh.
00:43:00.000 Yes, this is the great, would you allow for abortion in the case of rape or a threat to the life of the mother?
00:43:08.700 I'll give you my philosophic answer first and then my practical answer next.
00:43:14.140 It's a baby regardless of how it was conceived, whether it was conceived in a way that created a risk to the life of the mother or whether it was conceived through rape.
00:43:25.260 It's still a baby and so killing it is still killing it.
00:43:29.920 It's still ending an innocent human life.
00:43:31.880 Now, as for the life of the mother, this is greatly exaggerated.
00:43:37.180 There is, as far as I know, no medical condition that requires directly abortion.
00:43:45.900 Some treatments of medical conditions would, as a side effect, kill the baby.
00:43:50.980 That seems to me morally licit.
00:43:53.200 You're not intending to kill the baby.
00:43:54.860 You are treating a medical condition that, frankly, could kill the mother and the baby together.
00:44:01.220 As a result, you put the life of the baby at risk.
00:44:03.300 Okay, that's possible.
00:44:04.780 Now, as a practical matter, the left always exaggerates this.
00:44:09.480 They say, well, what about rape, incest, and life of the mother?
00:44:12.940 Okay.
00:44:14.820 Rape, incest, and life of the mother cause less than 1% of all abortions.
00:44:20.560 So, if you put a bill forward and you said, we're going to make abortions illegal, except
00:44:24.900 in cases of rape, incest, and life of the mother, and I could, today, end over 99% of
00:44:30.200 abortions in America, of course I would sign that bill.
00:44:33.040 I would sign it in two seconds, in a New York minute.
00:44:36.920 Then we can, once we're past that part of abortion on demand, abortion for any reason
00:44:41.540 at all, abortion because you don't want your baby to have a disability, abortion because
00:44:45.820 you don't want to rather raise a kid with a disability, abortion an hour after giving birth,
00:44:50.440 like Ralph Northam suggests.
00:44:51.520 Once we get past that part of moral idiocy, then we can talk about the question that you've
00:44:58.960 raised about rape, incest, and life of the mother.
00:45:01.100 But, as a practical matter, call their bluff, the left, on this ridiculous point.
00:45:05.680 End 99% of abortions.
00:45:07.800 Gladly.
00:45:08.500 Okay, we have a lot more to get to, but we're out of time.
00:45:11.160 So, in the meantime, I will see you on Monday.
00:45:14.120 Hopefully, then I'll be sounding better and feeling better by then.
00:45:17.420 But, in the meantime, I hope you also don't get the flu, and have a good weekend, and
00:45:21.620 I'll see you on Monday.
00:45:22.200 I'm Michael Knowles.
00:45:22.840 This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:45:23.760 The Michael Knowles Show is produced by Robert Sterling, executive producer Jeremy Boring,

00:45:47.820 The Michael Knowles Show is a Daily Wire production, copyright Daily Wire 2019.
00:45:51.800 Hey, guys, over on The Matt Wall Show today, the Virginia Democrat Party is completely self-destructing
00:45:57.160 right before our eyes, so we'll look at the latest in this whole saga.
00:46:00.120 But I also want to take a step back and remember how and why and when this all started, because
00:46:07.340 it seems to me that what we're looking at with the Democrat Party in Virginia is an example
00:46:11.280 of cosmic justice.
00:46:12.940 So, we'll talk about that.
00:46:14.000 Also, Panera Bread's experiment with socialism has failed abysmally.
00:46:17.960 And finally, CBS has a report fretting about climate change, but there are a couple problems
00:46:25.100 with the latest report on climate change, and I'm going to look at that today over on
00:46:28.700 The Matt Wall Show.
