00:00:37.700 President Trump wins big on his immigration deal with Mexico.

00:00:41.900 Of course, the mainstream media won't give him any credit for that, so we will examine what is really in the deal.

00:00:47.040 Then, deadbeat parents want the government to feed their kids for them. 1.00

00:00:50.680 Pervert parents pimp their kid out to drag bars. 0.99

00:00:53.060 And the gay stopo sued Masterpiece Cake Shop owner Jack Phillips for a third time. 0.99

00:00:59.560 Then, another social media platform bans conservatives. 0.97

00:01:02.500 All that and more.

00:01:03.160 I'm Michael Knowles, and this is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:04.840 There is a lot to get to today, because I notice almost nobody is covering this Trump-Mexico deal fairly.

00:01:19.960 I notice almost no one is actually reading from the deal.

00:01:22.580 So we'll get to that first, and then we've got to get to some really inspiring stories from 10-year-old Americans

00:01:28.500 and some really profoundly disturbing stories from 10-year-old Americans, all that.

00:01:32.620 But first, let me help you.

00:01:35.360 Big Token is a new app that lets you share your data about yourself, your interests, and habits, and then get paid for it.

00:01:42.420 Because right now, you're already sharing all of your information.

00:01:45.140 All of your information is going out to big tech companies that hate you, and they all make money off of it.

00:01:50.840 You should make some money, too.

00:01:51.940 That's where Big Token comes in.

00:01:53.360 Here is how it works.

00:01:54.340 First, you download the app, you sign up for a free Big Token account.

00:01:58.760 I just did this.

00:02:00.140 You complete the actions, you earn points.

00:02:02.460 It's that simple.

00:02:03.220 I thought this was going to be more complicated.

00:02:04.800 It's not.

00:02:05.880 Actions include answering surveys, checking into locations, just where you are already, connecting your social media accounts, and more.

00:02:13.020 Then, you get a bunch of points.

00:02:14.640 You redeem those points for rewards like cash or gift cards, or if you're a nice guy, you can donate those earnings to charity.

00:02:20.520 You can choose which data you share with Big Token.

00:02:23.380 Then, you get paid for it.

00:02:25.000 It's like you're just doing what you are already doing to a lot of big tech companies, except now you get paid.

00:02:30.420 You can also get more points for referring friends and family.

00:02:33.040 Your data are always secure with Big Token.

00:02:35.240 Based on the data you choose to share, you will be placed into specific ad groups.

00:02:39.600 Brands will then buy access to those ad groups, and you will get more personalized advertising.

00:02:44.080 The best part is, I just have to remind you, you will get paid for it.

00:02:47.760 If you want to start earning money for your data, go to the App Store or Google Play, search for Big Token, B-I-G-T-O-K-E-N.

00:02:55.080 That's one word.

00:02:56.180 Download the app and sign up.

00:02:57.740 Make sure, though, this is the most important part.

00:03:00.140 You use my referral code, Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S, so that I get the credit and my show doesn't go off the air.

00:03:06.360 Again, you have to search Big Token in the App Store or Google Play.

00:03:10.180 Download the app.

00:03:10.840 Use my referral code, Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S, to sign up.

00:03:14.540 Claim your data and get paid.

00:03:18.360 Talk about good deals.

00:03:20.080 President Trump just secured a very good deal with Mexico over immigration and walking back the threat of tariffs.

00:03:26.680 This has been in the news for three weeks nonstop.

00:03:29.360 The Trump trade war, it's going to destroy the whole world.

00:03:31.920 Everything's going to hell in a handbasket.

00:03:34.360 So then, on Friday, President Trump secures the deal with Mexico.

00:03:38.760 I go to try to figure out the specifics of this deal.

00:03:42.520 None of the mainstream media articles actually cover the specifics.

00:03:46.160 I could not find the text of this deal anywhere.

00:03:48.820 Eventually, I just had to go to the White House website to read the joint statement from the United States and Mexico.

00:03:54.240 What were the headlines over this deal?

00:03:56.680 Washington Post.

00:03:58.400 The dubious art of Trump's deal with Mexico.

00:04:02.080 You see, it's dubious.

00:04:03.340 USA Today.

00:04:04.460 Donald Trump claims there's more to migrant deal with Mexico than he announced.

00:04:08.300 But offers no specifics.

00:04:10.940 What did he announce?

00:04:12.020 I don't know.

00:04:12.180 You haven't told me.

00:04:13.080 CNN.

00:04:13.900 Trump fights back against skeptics of his new Mexico deal.

00:04:17.740 Against the skeptics.

00:04:18.560 Who are the skeptics?

00:04:19.520 CNN.

00:04:20.020 That's who.

00:04:20.680 But that's the story.

00:04:21.520 Not that President Trump secures a good deal.

00:04:23.580 Not what is in the actual deal.

00:04:25.160 No, no.

00:04:25.500 It's fighting back against the skeptics.

00:04:27.400 By which they mean, of course, CNN.

00:04:30.240 What actually happened?

00:04:31.820 President Trump has been threatening tariffs on Mexico.

00:04:35.180 If Mexico does not help us to stop illegal immigration into the United States.

00:04:40.720 Got to remember, if you're going to cross the southern border into America, you've got to cross into Mexico first. 0.99

00:04:45.920 The vast majority of these illegal aliens coming into America are not Mexicans.

00:04:49.900 They come from Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, other places in Central and South America.

00:04:55.960 Then they cross into Mexico.

00:04:57.220 Then they come to America. 0.95

00:04:58.180 So President Trump said, listen, Mexico, you've got to put some security along your southern border and stop this before it becomes a problem for us.

00:05:05.840 Mexico hasn't done it because it's mostly a failed state.

00:05:08.680 And because Mexico has a huge economic incentive to continue to allow illegal immigration.

00:05:14.500 When these illegal aliens are pouring through Mexico's southern border on their way into America, this brings a lot of money to Mexico's economy.

00:05:22.660 Most of that money is going to the cartels, but then those cartels are spending all of that money within Mexico, in Mexico's economy.

00:05:31.960 We're talking about over a billion dollars at least.

00:05:34.740 So Mexico has no normal economic incentive to stop illegal immigration, and they have a lot of incentives to keep it going.

00:05:42.520 So President Trump threatens tariffs.

00:05:45.640 And everyone said this wasn't going to work.

00:05:48.500 Oh, no, the tariffs are going to hurt the American economy.

00:05:52.040 I mean, nobody takes Trump seriously.

00:05:53.600 He doesn't really mean it.

00:05:54.860 Well, President Trump has slapped tariffs on our foes and on our allies.

00:05:59.800 And so he said, listen, I'm not joking about this.

00:06:02.800 I will do it.

00:06:04.020 And it goes down to the final hour when they could be negotiating this deal.

00:06:08.740 And what happens?

00:06:10.080 Mexico agrees to beef up its immigration protection.

00:06:15.580 That's what happened.

00:06:16.760 We were told the tariffs are going to destroy the economy.

00:06:19.760 That he's not really going to get any concessions because of the tariffs.

00:06:23.060 The tariffs aren't even going to work.

00:06:24.400 And all of those critics were proven totally wrong, and President Trump's strategy totally worked.

00:06:30.420 I don't know how else to say it.

00:06:31.840 I guess it could have been a little bit better.

00:06:33.400 We'll get into how in a second.

00:06:35.760 But this is a major win.

00:06:37.320 I mean, this is a basically unqualified win for Trump and an unqualified loss for his critics who said that tariffs weren't going to work.

00:06:46.040 What is in the agreement?

00:06:47.080 The joint statement from the U.S. and Mexico reads,

00:06:50.360 Mexico will take unprecedented steps to increase enforcement to curb irregular migration to include the deployment of its National Guard throughout Mexico, giving priority to its southern border.

00:07:01.640 Mexico is also taking decisive action to dismantle human smuggling and trafficking organizations, as well as their illicit financial and transportation networks.

00:07:10.460 Additionally, the United States and Mexico commit to strengthen bilateral cooperation, including information sharing and coordinated actions to better protect and secure our common border.

00:07:22.480 Now, this last part is subject to some scrutiny from the mainstream media, because President Trump said as part of this deal, Mexico is going to buy a whole lot of new American products.

00:07:35.760 And so that's going to help with our trade deficit.

00:07:39.100 Now, there's not a lot of evidence that they're going to buy more products.

00:07:42.660 The Mexican ambassador is saying that nothing has been ironed out specifically.

00:07:46.940 So what President Trump is referring to is this line here about greater cooperation, the implication being Mexico is going to buy some more U.S. goods.

00:07:56.220 Who knows?

00:07:57.260 That part, I don't think, really matters at all.

00:08:00.280 I mean, I guess it would be nice if Mexico bought more goods.

00:08:03.280 But that's not really what this deal is about.

00:08:04.940 What this deal is about is dealing with illegal immigration.

00:08:09.280 We have a lot of trading partners.

00:08:10.740 They can buy more American goods.

00:08:12.120 What we need Mexico for is to stop the flow of illegal aliens, which now are 3,000 per day in some cases.

00:08:21.500 I mean, a lot of people coming in to the United States.

00:08:25.620 What is Mexico going to do?

00:08:26.740 They've already deployed 6,000 National Guard troops to the southern border.

00:08:31.300 That is a very tangible step in the right direction.

00:08:34.980 So what else does the deal accomplish?

00:08:38.300 They write, the United States will immediately expand the implementation of the existing migrant protection protocols across its entire southern border.

00:08:46.660 This means that those crossing the U.S. southern border to seek asylum will be rapidly returned to Mexico, where they may await the adjudication of their asylum claims.

00:08:56.800 Big win.

00:08:57.680 What this means is that the people who do get into Mexico, then they come into the United States and they ask for asylum.

00:09:05.320 We will not have to keep those people in the United States. 0.72

00:09:07.820 We will be able to send them back to Mexico, and Mexico will take them. 1.00

00:09:12.620 Now, when this first began a few months ago, when these negotiations were taking place, Mexico limited the scope of holding the asylum seekers.

00:09:22.480 So they said, okay, we'll keep some asylum seekers, but not all of them.

00:09:25.020 We're going to limit how many can come here.

00:09:26.680 Now they will accept an unlimited number of asylum seekers.

00:09:29.900 And this is very important because in the United States, if you come, you seek asylum.

00:09:34.580 What we generally do is we lose track of you, and then you just get into the United States, and then you're just here.

00:09:40.580 And you don't show up for your adjudication hearings, and you don't ever need to show up in court again because you've already gained entrance into the United States.

00:09:48.280 Sometimes with more than one of you, sometimes with a whole family unit.

00:09:52.520 Keeping them on that other side of the border is crucial to reducing the flow of illegal aliens, and this was a major win. 0.68

00:09:59.160 This is also important because it limits family units.

00:10:01.800 The people who are coming seeking asylum specifically, or who say they're seeking asylum, usually they're just economic migrants, but they say they're seeking asylum come with a lot of people.

00:10:11.060 And this creates major political problems.

00:10:14.460 Now you're not allowed to split up the parents from their children and hold the children with HHS, Health and Human Services, and hold the parents in cells.

00:10:24.260 You're also not allowed to put the children in cells.

00:10:26.280 I mean, this is the reason why in 1997 we decided that eventually you had to split up the parents and the children anyway.

00:10:32.500 So you're in a situation where you're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't, if they get into the United States and get to stay there while they seek asylum.

00:10:40.800 Now they get to go back to Mexico. 0.76

00:10:43.880 The deal could be slightly better.

00:10:45.580 So what we would really like to secure here is something called a safe third country agreement.

00:10:51.520 A safe third country agreement.

00:10:52.800 We have one of these deals with Canada, which is that when people are coming in from a third country, whichever country they arrive at first, if they come through Canada and they're going to Mexico, or if they come to the United States and they're going to Canada, that the country they arrive at first is the country where they have to seek asylum.

00:11:10.900 They can't just keep going through to get to the better country.

00:11:14.540 And this gets to the whole argument of asylum.

00:11:16.920 What the left is saying in this illegal immigration dispute is it's these desperate people who are just seeking a better life and avoiding threat of death in their own countries, in Guatemala, let's say.

00:11:27.840 And what the right is saying is, no, they're not.

00:11:30.600 They're coming for economic opportunity in the United States.

00:11:33.100 The way you know the right is correct here is if they were just fleeing the threat of immediate violence in their home countries, they wouldn't walk through 20 different countries on their way to the United States.

00:11:44.020 They wouldn't march from South America all the way up to the U.S.

00:11:47.940 They could seek asylum in any country along the way.

00:11:51.040 But they're not seeking asylum.

00:11:52.240 They're seeking economic opportunity because the U.S. is a way better place to live in than Mexico. 0.87

00:11:57.520 So what a safe third country agreement would do is say, OK, if you're going to come and you're going to enter Mexico first, then you're getting asylum in Mexico.

00:12:05.880 And you can't seek asylum in the United States.

00:12:08.560 You've got to seek asylum in Mexico. 0.83

00:12:10.100 Obviously, Mexico doesn't want to do that. 1.00

00:12:11.900 That would be slightly better.

00:12:12.900 But what we've got is quite good.

00:12:16.500 It could have been a lot worse, too.

00:12:18.340 Even the guys at National Review, which is a never-Trump publication, right?

00:12:22.300 It's been decidedly anti-Trump.

00:12:24.320 They made a huge issue in 2016 against Trump.

00:12:27.860 So many of their editors and writers have been opposed to Trump.

00:12:31.380 Even National Review said, we've got to hand it to Donald Trump on this point.

00:12:36.800 And so if it's good enough for NR and the anti-Trump forces on the right, it's good enough for me.

00:12:42.160 We'll get to the main takeaways here.

00:12:44.820 Then we'll move on to a very inspiring story.

00:12:46.820 But first, you should not have to choose between overpriced designer sunglasses and cheap shades that won't last you through the summer.

00:12:55.980 I have had both.

00:12:57.000 And now I have movement sunglasses, and movement sunglasses are the best sunglasses.

00:13:02.720 You know movement.

00:13:03.800 I've got my movement watch on.

00:13:05.260 It's the watch I get most compliments about.

00:13:07.820 Movement totally disrupted the watch industry.

00:13:10.600 Now they are doing it again with sunglasses.

00:13:12.800 These are constructed with durable acetate and lightweight materials for that perfect, reliable fit.

00:13:19.440 You don't need to choose between style and function.

00:13:21.660 With movement, you get both.

00:13:23.600 And with free shipping and returns policy, you can try on as many as you want right from your home.

00:13:28.160 I am a sunglasses aficionado.

00:13:30.140 I'm from the East Coast, from New York, and of Italian descent.

00:13:33.160 So I've been wearing sunglasses since I was two years old.

00:13:35.780 These are excellent sunglasses.

00:13:37.620 And by the way, you need to get good sunglasses.

00:13:40.200 You do.

00:13:40.800 It's something, especially during the summer, you wear them every day.

00:13:44.560 You change your shirt every day.

00:13:45.680 You change your pants every day.

00:13:46.760 You change.

00:13:47.260 But your sunglasses you wear every day.

00:13:48.880 And you've got to make sure that you look really good in them.

00:13:51.080 That's most important.

00:13:52.020 And second of all, that they work really well and they protect your eyes.

00:13:55.200 Movement sunglasses do both.

00:13:56.860 They are superb.

00:13:57.600 This is why movement has sold 2.5 million products across more than 160 countries.

00:14:23.320 The main takeaway from this Trump deal with Mexico is that the chief purpose of the negotiations

00:14:31.680 were achieved.

00:14:33.040 No matter what the mainstream media say, they were achieved.

00:14:37.200 Big win for Trump. 1.00

00:14:38.420 But for those of you who think that Trump is still an idiot, I mean, there are some people, 1.00

00:14:42.600 I think, who still think that Donald Trump is just this incompetent ignoramus, even though 0.99

00:14:47.360 he somehow keeps achieving all of his goals, even if you think that, don't forget this 0.94

00:14:52.060 deal was also achieved with the negotiating skill of Vice President Pence and Secretary

00:14:57.440 of State Mike Pompeo. 1.00

00:14:59.100 Do you really think those guys are just complete fools, nincompoops, idiots? 1.00

00:15:03.100 No. 1.00

00:15:03.640 This was, there was great skill involved in this deal.

00:15:06.720 There was great brinksmanship.

00:15:07.840 There were great threats of tariffs and it worked.

00:15:10.720 And this is what's so important because when this was announced on Friday, everyone basically

00:15:15.480 had to admit that it worked.

00:15:17.000 Then people started to try to revise history.

00:15:20.720 So the New York Times, the Huffington Post said it's not really a big deal.

00:15:23.820 It is a big deal.

00:15:24.960 And the reason it's a big deal is not even just for Mexico and illegal immigration.

00:15:29.460 It's because of what this says for China.

00:15:31.060 China is we have been engaged in a trade war with China for, and various proxy wars with

00:15:37.940 China for years and years now. 0.69

00:15:40.220 They steal our intellectual property.

00:15:41.840 They violate World Trade Organization treaties.

00:15:44.080 They illegally subsidize their steel and aluminum.

00:15:47.060 They inflate their currency.

00:15:48.940 They put spyware in our tech, which is all manufactured in China. 1.00

00:15:54.600 They are quite hostile to us.

00:15:58.320 And so what President Trump is doing is putting pressure on them through trade to make concessions,

00:16:04.240 to protect our IP, all of those goals of the United States.

00:16:08.220 And one way he's doing it is threatening tariffs.

00:16:11.240 What this is about, this is a referendum on the effectiveness of threatening tariffs as a

00:16:16.040 negotiating tool.

00:16:17.040 And what we learned from the Mexico deal is it works.

00:16:20.160 And what the left is desperately trying to convince you is that, no, it didn't really work.

00:16:24.200 Don't believe your lying eyes.

00:16:25.720 Just believe what you read in the New York Times. 0.92

00:16:27.900 It did work.

00:16:28.980 And this is going to come back again and be very important when we start talking about

00:16:33.160 China, because those tensions aren't going away anytime soon.

00:16:36.680 So enough about geopolitics.

00:16:39.100 Let's get to a genuinely uplifting story that tells you a lot about our culture.

00:16:44.120 It actually, it tells you a lot about our culture from the perspective of the story itself

00:16:47.680 and from the perspective of how people are reacting to the story.

00:16:52.160 There's a nine-year-old kid in California.

00:16:55.140 He attends West Park Elementary School.

00:16:57.620 His name is Ryan Kirkpatrick.

00:17:00.020 Ryan Kirkpatrick realized that his classmates had some school lunch debt.

00:17:07.000 So they would show up to school and their parents didn't give them any money to buy lunch at school.

00:17:13.820 And so the school still gives them the lunch, obviously, but they're just in debt.

00:17:19.000 So they had this debt and this kid, Ryan Kirkpatrick, decided to pay it off himself with his allowance money.

00:17:26.380 His classmates had $74.50 in student lunch debt.

00:17:31.680 Ryan saved his money from his allowance, gave it to pay off the debt.

00:17:35.940 And even more importantly, he did it anonymously.

00:17:39.400 This story came out, I guess, because of either the parents or because of the school.

00:17:42.980 But when Ryan himself did it, he did it anonymously.

00:17:46.380 And when asked, finally, why he did it, he said, quote,

00:17:51.040 I want them just to realize people actually think about them, the classmates,

00:17:56.260 instead of just telling them what they did because you're just bragging about stuff.

00:18:00.700 I want them to feel happy that someone cares about them.

00:18:04.260 And this is the key to the whole story because there is a major ideological difference between how people are reacting to this story.

00:18:14.460 The people on the right heard this story and they thought, this is terrific.

00:18:19.140 This is really beautiful.

00:18:20.520 It's uplifting.

00:18:21.380 It's inspiring.

00:18:22.680 What a good kid.

00:18:23.520 What a kid who was clearly raised right and who has just made wonderful decisions.

00:18:28.100 The left saw this story.

00:18:29.820 You saw the blue check marks on Twitter and you saw other people reacting and saying

00:18:33.600 that this is awful.

00:18:35.820 This is embarrassing for our country.

00:18:38.660 Depressing story.

00:18:39.940 Because in a country as rich as ours, students shouldn't have student lunch debt.

00:18:46.240 The schools should provide all the meals for the kids for free.

00:18:49.740 There should be no debt.

00:18:50.460 This is so awful.

00:18:51.440 How unjust it is.

00:18:53.660 How awful.

00:18:55.700 There were a lot of people suggesting that schools should just provide free lunches for all the,

00:18:59.400 and breakfasts for all the kids.

00:19:00.560 What our colleague Matt Walsh pointed out the other day is, if there are 50 million kids in public school in the United States,

00:19:10.640 you give them two meals a day, that's 100 million free meals per day.

00:19:14.280 There are 180 days in a school year, which means there are about 18 billion free meals per day

00:19:20.540 that the left wants us to create a new government entitlement for.

00:19:25.080 That's what they're calling for.

00:19:26.580 So you could do that.

00:19:28.700 Or parents could stop being deadbeats and feed their children. 0.82

00:19:34.000 New federal entitlement, 18 billion meals a day.

00:19:36.980 Or parents can be parents.

00:19:39.240 This story overall is incredibly inspiring.

00:19:42.020 And the reason it's inspiring is because a nine-year-old kid decided to give his allowance to charity anonymously.

00:19:49.820 That's great.

00:19:50.580 That is just a morally wonderful, unqualified, good act.

00:19:55.460 There is something wrong in the story.

00:19:58.300 The thing that's wrong is that deadbeat parents are not feeding their children.

00:20:03.080 The thing that's wrong in the story is not that the government isn't doing enough.

00:20:08.120 The government actually is doing enough.

00:20:09.900 The schools are already providing the hot lunches to the kids, regardless of whether or not they can pay.

00:20:16.080 So the government is already doing that.

00:20:17.820 They're already giving out the free lunches.

00:20:20.220 The problem with this story is that deadbeat parents aren't feeding their children.

00:20:26.640 If you can't feed your children, your children should be taken from you.

00:20:32.480 It's that simple.

00:20:33.440 If you cannot feed your children, either a family member of yours who is not a deadbeat should take your children and raise them and take care of them. 0.97

00:20:43.620 Or the state should come in and remove your children from you, you deadbeat, and give them to a family that will not starve them.

00:20:52.120 And we'll be able to give them basic food.

00:20:57.240 Feeding your children is the most basic role of a parent.

00:21:04.080 There are many things that parents do.

00:21:07.280 All parents most basically have to feed their kids.

00:21:10.800 Either you can do it, or a family member can do it, or the state can do it.

00:21:14.240 Now, you say, well, what if some parents don't make a lot of money?

00:21:19.620 Then those parents should go hungry while they feed their kids. 0.93

00:21:23.520 Well, what if some parents, I don't know, they don't have a good job, they're living in poverty?

00:21:30.760 First of all, in America, that doesn't need to happen because we have a robust social safety net.

00:21:37.440 So if you aren't making a lot of money, I have friends and family who have been in poverty,

00:21:40.940 and you can go on food stamps or other welfare programs,

00:21:44.400 and then you can use that to buy food and feed your children.

00:21:48.660 What if that's not enough, or what if you're spending it improperly,

00:21:51.500 or what if you don't qualify or something?

00:21:52.900 There's a lot of private charity, also, that will allow you to feed your children.

00:21:59.160 The way to illustrate this most clearly, I think, is that the poor in America are much, much,

00:22:06.460 much more likely to suffer from obesity than they are from starvation.

00:22:10.040 People don't starve in America.

00:22:13.120 They don't starve by necessity.

00:22:14.980 There are a lot of options in this country.

00:22:17.220 The reason that these parents are not feeding their children is not because they don't have the money.

00:22:22.120 It's not because life is so hard.

00:22:23.680 It's not because they're starving. 1.00

00:22:24.880 It's because they're stupid, freaking deadbeats. 1.00

00:22:28.840 And we're not holding them to account to do their basic function as parents. 1.00

00:22:33.760 So, in this case, obviously, the schools should give the kids food.

00:22:39.620 They shouldn't make the kids go hungry.

00:22:41.160 But it's not just that they should erase the student debt or something.

00:22:44.660 The schools should give the kids food and then call those parents and hound them and ask them,

00:22:50.520 say, hey, excuse me, this is Principal so-and-so from the school district.

00:22:53.960 Why aren't you feeding your child?

00:22:56.680 Is something wrong?

00:22:58.380 Do we need to send child protective services to your house? 0.99

00:23:00.560 Do we need to go have a little intervention here?

00:23:04.240 Why aren't you feeding your kids?

00:23:07.900 Now, another takeaway from this is that people can follow this kid's excellent example

00:23:12.660 and give to charity to make up for deadbeats.

00:23:15.200 I mean, that's what charity is for.

00:23:17.020 Charity is a wonderful thing.

00:23:18.120 Everyone should give to charity.

00:23:19.660 And it's great that this kid is learning to give to charity.

00:23:22.700 There's actually a word of caution here because I know,

00:23:26.020 I was almost hesitant to bring up this story because I know what conservatives are going to think

00:23:29.820 and really everybody in this new internet culture we have is,

00:23:33.440 wow, this kid did such a good thing and now we should reward that kid with a GoFundMe campaign.

00:23:40.140 I bet one already exists.

00:23:42.240 This is what we do now.

00:23:43.100 Anytime anyone does anything that we like,

00:23:45.260 anytime anyone does any slight act of kindness or act of charity,

00:23:48.680 we throw hundreds of thousands of dollars at them as though that's the only response.

00:23:55.660 There should not be a GoFundMe for this.

00:23:57.320 Do not make a GoFundMe.

00:23:58.540 Do not donate to a GoFundMe.

00:23:59.820 People think that money solves every problem.

00:24:02.060 Money does solve a lot of problems.

00:24:03.840 This isn't a problem.

00:24:05.920 This is just charity.

00:24:07.340 This is a good thing.

00:24:08.860 An act of charity is good.

00:24:10.340 And we should let this kid engage in an act of charity

00:24:13.820 and see how it feels and see how people react to it,

00:24:16.720 see what it means and just do it.

00:24:18.500 It's a lovely thing.

00:24:19.420 That's it.

00:24:19.900 That's all.

00:24:21.040 That's all you got.

00:24:21.920 That's lovely.

00:24:23.280 Good job, kid.

00:24:24.220 Ryan, well done.

00:24:25.060 You're an inspiration to your classmates and your countrymen.

00:24:28.460 Speaking of child abuse, we have an example of really egregious child abuse.

00:24:37.060 I guess even worse than not giving your kid lunch.

00:24:39.020 We finally have to address the case of the 10-year-old drag queen that his parents are calling him.

00:24:47.100 This is a truly horrifying story, but we have to address it because it's all over the news right now.

00:24:53.060 And it's, I think, better to confront it head-on than to put our heads in the stand any longer.

00:24:58.140 We've got that.

00:24:59.140 We've got a lot more coming up. 0.97

00:25:01.220 We've got Kirsten Gillibrand making a fool of herself. 1.00

00:25:04.000 We've got the poor Masterpiece Cake Shop guys getting targeted again.

00:25:07.380 And another social media platform, Dan's Conservatives.

00:25:10.100 But first, I've got to say goodbye to Facebook and YouTube.

00:25:13.620 Go to dailywire.com.

00:25:15.240 It's $10 a month, $100 for an annual membership.

00:25:18.140 You get me, you get the Andrew Klavan show, you get the Ben Shapiro show, you get the Matt Wells show,

00:25:21.740 you get to ask questions in the mailbag, you get another kingdom, you get the Leftist Tears Tumblr.

00:25:26.220 Why do you need to subscribe to Daily Wire?

00:25:28.900 Well, you get all that great stuff, so that's terrific.

00:25:32.040 The reason you need to subscribe is because we're all about to be kicked off of social media.

00:25:35.860 We're going to be kicked off of YouTube.

00:25:37.600 We're going to be kicked off of other social media platforms, especially as the 2020 race heats up.

00:25:42.880 It's just going to happen.

00:25:44.720 They've launched this crusade.

00:25:46.840 They were testing the waters about six months ago.

00:25:49.420 Now they have gone full steam ahead.

00:25:51.660 They're demonetizing all conservatives.

00:25:53.400 They're limiting the reach of my videos on YouTube.

00:25:56.020 We'll talk about that a little bit more later.

00:25:58.120 It's just happening.

00:25:59.080 So go subscribe right now if you want to keep the content coming.

00:26:02.240 We'll be right back with a lot more.

00:26:05.860 This story is horrifying, but we just have to talk about it.

00:26:17.620 There's an 11-year-old drag queen. 0.99

00:26:22.400 It's an 11-year-old abused child whose parents are calling him a drag queen.

00:26:27.280 His stage name is Desmond is Amazing.

00:26:31.080 I didn't want to talk about this story.

00:26:32.720 I've put off talking about it for months, or at least rather put off showing the video.

00:26:37.300 I think I've mentioned it before, but I've put off showing the video for months because

00:26:40.620 I just don't want to add to this.

00:26:43.160 But it's everywhere.

00:26:44.140 It's Pride Month.

00:26:45.120 This kid is being trotted out everywhere.

00:26:47.400 He's on all of the media outlets online.

00:26:50.360 So I think it's better to confront it head on.

00:26:52.840 11-year-old kid.

00:26:55.320 His name is Desmond. 0.98

00:26:56.480 His parents are pimping him out as a sexualized transvestite model. 0.97

00:27:02.140 And the mainstream media are totally buying it. 0.96

00:27:05.280 This from the Huffington Post.

00:27:06.940 I was born in Pride Month in the year 2007.

00:27:11.940 Gay pride means self-expression to me.

00:27:14.560 Hi, I'm Desmond is Amazing.

00:27:16.540 I'm 10 years old, and I'm a drag kid, and I live in New York City, and I'm an LGBTQ activist

00:27:23.420 and advocate.

00:27:24.440 I discovered that I wanted to drag when it was the first episode of RuPaul's Drag Race

00:27:35.100 when I was two.

00:27:36.760 Then I moved on to, like, little dresses.

00:27:40.800 Then I moved on to making outfits.

00:27:43.340 I got my inspirations from designers like Alexander McQueen, Betsy Johnson, Clums de Garçon,

00:27:49.960 Jean-Paul Gaultier, the club kids.

00:27:52.100 They're fashion and the makeup, not the bad things.

00:27:54.360 The Blitz kids of London.

00:27:57.440 And if you wanted to drag, just start off with a little wig and some lip gloss and a little, 0.98

00:28:02.080 like, t-shirt and a little skirt and some heels or sneakers, whatever.

00:28:07.300 You can be a drag queen no matter what. 1.00

00:28:09.740 I've always been able to be myself because of my supporting mom and dad.

00:28:14.660 Say hi, mom.

00:28:15.540 Hi.

00:28:16.360 That's my mom, and I love her to death.

00:28:19.340 Drag is a form of expression and being yourself and dressing however you want and looking fair. 1.00

00:28:28.860 So that is horrific.

00:28:33.700 I don't know where to begin.

00:28:35.820 He says that he got into drag.

00:28:40.800 He knew he wanted to be a drag queen when he was two years old.

00:28:43.360 And he's able to do it because his parents are so supportive.

00:28:48.860 Say hi, mom.

00:28:49.700 Love her to death.

00:28:51.940 Yeah, that's all true, I guess.

00:28:54.700 It's the parents.

00:28:56.160 Parents who should be in prison or deported.

00:28:58.640 They should not be permitted anywhere near children or anywhere near polite society.

00:29:04.440 What they have done should be a crime, and they should go to jail for that,

00:29:08.840 and they should be arrested and not permitted in free, civilized society.

00:29:13.860 The parents are trying to justify their abuse.

00:29:16.400 There is a profile on them, ironically, in a website called Fatherly.

00:29:21.820 This is the headline.

00:29:23.100 Desmond is amazing in the art of raising a child drag queen. 1.00

00:29:27.140 Andrew Naples, that's the father, jokes that his son was never in the closet

00:29:33.440 because there wasn't enough room for his fabulousness.

00:29:36.540 Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. 1.00

00:29:38.760 What a sick pervert that father is. 1.00

00:29:41.860 What a sick, twisted pervert that guy is. 1.00

00:29:46.000 But you see what he's trying to do. 1.00

00:29:48.460 Even if he's looking at this now and saying,

00:29:50.520 gosh, this is really messed up.

00:29:51.980 I've really made a mistake.

00:29:53.480 Even if he's looking at that,

00:29:54.540 what he's trying to do is take his own agency out of it.

00:29:57.560 He's saying, oh, oh, we knew.

00:30:00.160 We knew he was born this way.

00:30:02.000 We knew he was born a drag queen.

00:30:03.820 No one's born a drag queen. 0.99

00:30:05.000 You need clothing and lipstick to be a drag queen. 1.00

00:30:07.920 He wasn't born that way. 0.80

00:30:09.400 You made him that way.

00:30:10.760 He said, no, he just was.

00:30:11.760 He was never in the closet because he was just always so fabulous.

00:30:14.980 He goes on, he says,

00:30:16.080 I have a picture where I'm holding him,

00:30:18.240 and he's the length of my forearm.

00:30:20.960 He's like this big.

00:30:21.700 He's sitting there with a little smile on his face,

00:30:26.420 posing for the camera five minutes after he's born.

00:30:29.560 We should have known right then, but we didn't.

00:30:32.080 So the baby, he was posing for the camera.

00:30:34.400 No, he wasn't.

00:30:35.380 He's a newly born baby.

00:30:37.000 He's not even conscious.

00:30:39.500 Babies aren't conscious for quite a while after they're born.

00:30:41.940 He wasn't posing for the cameras. 1.00

00:30:44.140 You imagined that because you're a sick pervert, 1.00

00:30:46.180 and you're trying to justify and rationalize the horrific child abuse 1.00

00:30:50.940 that you've inflicted on your son. 0.57

00:30:54.640 He wasn't a drag queen when he was born.

00:30:57.280 He wasn't conscious.

00:30:58.640 And he wasn't naturally a drag queen.

00:31:01.580 He says that he knew he wanted to be a drag queen

00:31:03.740 when he watched RuPaul's Drag Race at age two.

00:31:05.980 First of all, he doesn't remember anything from when he was age two.

00:31:08.660 So that's a story that you've told him that he's now been convinced of.

00:31:12.060 But let's say he did remember something from age two.

00:31:14.640 You showed him a sexualized show about drag queens when he was two 1.00

00:31:21.460 because you're a pervert and a horrible parent. 1.00

00:31:25.280 And you are right now currently abusing your child. 1.00

00:31:29.320 The fatherly story goes on.

00:31:31.540 By the time Desmond was two or three,

00:31:34.200 it was clear to his parents that he was likely gay.

00:31:37.080 They had been testing him.

00:31:38.760 What?

00:31:39.780 They'd been testing him?

00:31:41.040 Exposing him to different things.

00:31:43.160 What did he like?

00:31:44.080 The Sissy Duckling, a 1999 animated film about a duckling that doesn't quite fit in.

00:31:50.320 He named one of his two fish after him.

00:31:52.660 RuPaul's Drag Race, Pride Parades, musicals.

00:31:56.220 It wasn't that he was indifferent to sports,

00:31:58.160 but that he saw them as a distraction from fashion and performance.

00:32:03.320 So Desmond really liked all of the super confusing sexualized stuff

00:32:09.380 that you put in front of him when he was three.

00:32:11.060 That's what you're saying.

00:32:11.700 Yeah, we experimented on.

00:32:13.540 We tested him, is what they said.

00:32:15.280 We put a lot of sexual content in front of him, and then he got confused.

00:32:18.500 So therefore, he was born a drag queen. 0.99

00:32:22.020 Also, so they took him to Pride Parades.

00:32:25.560 That's pretty weird.

00:32:26.800 But then they say at the end there, they say,

00:32:28.480 he really liked musicals, and he didn't really care for sports.

00:32:32.000 So therefore, we knew he was a drag queen. 0.95

00:32:34.440 Let me tell you, here's confession time.

00:32:38.160 I liked a lot of musicals as a kid.

00:32:40.020 I performed in musicals.

00:32:41.140 I saw Broadway musicals.

00:32:42.400 And this is going to be a big shocker for you.

00:32:44.560 I wasn't that good at sports.

00:32:45.920 I played Little League for eight years.

00:32:48.040 I think I hit the ball like four times.

00:32:50.220 But I leaned into pitches, so I had a very high on-base percentage.

00:32:53.200 That's a story for another time.

00:32:54.820 I was bad at sports.

00:32:56.220 I liked musicals.

00:32:57.820 I'm not a drag queen.

00:32:59.380 I'm not gay.

00:33:01.540 I'm mostly a pretty regular guy.

00:33:05.560 I wasn't posing for the cameras at five minutes after I was born,

00:33:08.880 because nobody does, because that's in your pervert imagination,

00:33:12.080 because babies aren't conscious when they're born.

00:33:15.920 All of this evidence is just a way for these parents to justify their abuse.

00:33:21.200 And then you know what they did. 0.90

00:33:22.100 These parents brought this kid to a gay bar, 0.55

00:33:24.140 and they had him dance on the bar 0.78

00:33:25.880 while a bunch of men threw dollar bills at him,

00:33:29.100 like he's a stripper.

00:33:32.660 This is all cheered on in our culture in the name of pride,

00:33:36.340 or gay rights, or LGBTQ.

00:33:38.560 Am I allowed to say Q anymore?

00:33:39.680 Q I think is now a bad word,

00:33:41.280 but it's still in the acronym, so I guess I have to say it.

00:33:44.660 This is being cheered on.

00:33:46.660 Child abuse.

00:33:47.340 Bringing a little 10-year-old kid to a drag bar

00:33:49.440 and throwing dollar bills at him

00:33:50.700 while you talk about how sexy his dance moves are.

00:33:54.140 Our moral discourse on this issue has become ridiculously shallow.

00:33:59.880 It's become so shallow.

00:34:01.920 Fortunately, we have a Democrat presidential candidate 0.76

00:34:05.160 to sum up what our entire moral discourse on this question has become.

00:34:10.540 That's it.

00:34:17.580 It's just us wearing a shirt.

00:34:19.860 Kirsten Gillibrand is wearing a rainbow shirt

00:34:21.660 at a gay bar on Pride Parade,

00:34:24.160 and the shirt says,

00:34:25.280 love is brave,

00:34:26.400 which it's not, by the way.

00:34:27.780 Love is wonderful.

00:34:28.720 Love is patient.

00:34:29.360 Love is kind.

00:34:29.940 Love is wonderful.

00:34:31.960 We could talk for many years about what love is.

00:34:35.720 It's not brave.

00:34:37.520 And she's there,

00:34:38.320 and she's kind of dancing,

00:34:39.260 moving along,

00:34:39.780 and then she just puts her hand up,

00:34:41.140 and she yells at her. 1.00

00:34:41.720 She goes,

00:34:41.880 gay rights!

00:34:43.820 Gay rights!

00:34:44.300 That's it.

00:34:44.760 That's the whole thing.

00:34:45.680 Hey, don't you think it's maybe a bad idea 0.89

00:34:47.640 to bring a 10-year-old boy to a gay bar 0.77

00:34:50.280 and have him dance on the bar

00:34:51.300 while lecherous men throw dollar bills at him?

00:34:53.860 Boom-ta, boom-ta, boom-ta. 0.99

00:34:55.400 Gay rights!

00:34:57.320 Oh, okay.

00:34:57.920 I hadn't considered that before.

00:34:59.100 What a sophisticated response

00:35:01.020 that makes me think about this issue

00:35:02.520 in a new and interesting way.

00:35:04.360 Of course not.

00:35:05.420 Let me ask you this, though.

00:35:07.720 Let's say you're the most extreme 0.96

00:35:09.360 leftist sexual revolutionary. 0.94

00:35:11.600 You say, yeah, absolutely. 0.90

00:35:13.060 We should dress up our little children.

00:35:16.160 We should, first of all,

00:35:16.960 when they're two,

00:35:17.500 show them sexualized television shows 0.72

00:35:19.300 about drag queens. 0.75

00:35:20.220 Then we should dress them up in sexualized ways. 1.00

00:35:22.300 Then we should take them to gay bars 1.00

00:35:23.380 and have lecherous men 1.00

00:35:24.120 throw dollar bills at them.

00:35:25.260 Let's say that you're all behind this.

00:35:29.600 What if it were a little girl?

00:35:32.100 What if there were a little girl

00:35:35.100 who said, I want to be a pole dancer?

00:35:37.660 And, oh, yeah, little Susie,

00:35:39.280 she knew she wanted to be a pole dancer 1.00

00:35:40.700 from age two.

00:35:41.780 We actually knew the minute she was born,

00:35:44.040 she, you know, she was born,

00:35:46.020 we were swaddling her,

00:35:47.180 and then she just jumped up 1.00

00:35:48.700 and did a bunch of spins on a pole,

00:35:50.080 and we knew she was a pole dancer 1.00

00:35:51.120 from the minute she was born.

00:35:52.520 And she loved,

00:35:53.080 we showed her a bunch of videos of strippers

00:35:55.040 when she was two years old,

00:35:56.100 and she really liked them.

00:35:57.200 So we knew she was a stripper, 1.00

00:35:59.100 from age two.

00:36:01.280 And so we brought a little girl

00:36:03.100 to a bar,

00:36:03.800 and she got up in sexualized clothing 1.00

00:36:05.400 and danced on a bar

00:36:06.540 while men threw dollar bills at her. 0.99

00:36:09.700 What would we say about that?

00:36:10.980 Would we say that's gay rights, pride?

00:36:13.520 Great.

00:36:14.160 Woo-hoo-hoo. 0.99

00:36:14.780 Yeah, that's awesome.

00:36:16.700 What are we willing to tolerate?

00:36:19.800 Obviously, the sexualization of children

00:36:22.000 is horrific and indefensible.

00:36:24.460 The left tolerates it, though,

00:36:28.460 in the name of sexual liberation.

00:36:31.300 That's what this is all about.

00:36:32.860 Sexual liberation. 0.73

00:36:33.860 You do you.

00:36:34.620 Love is love.

00:36:36.160 Be proud.

00:36:37.280 Be weird.

00:36:38.020 Be proud.

00:36:39.200 How far are we willing to go

00:36:41.580 for sexual liberation? 0.94

00:36:43.300 Are we willing to abuse children? 0.99

00:36:46.340 The left is. 0.57

00:36:47.160 Are we willing to say no?

00:36:49.940 Are we willing to stop them?

00:36:50.960 Are we willing to say,

00:36:51.700 no, you've gone too far?

00:36:52.980 Forget about the sexualization

00:36:55.640 of children for a minute.

00:36:57.300 Go to a completely different place

00:36:59.440 in this question of sexual liberation.

00:37:02.340 Right now,

00:37:03.020 the owner of Masterpiece Cake Shop,

00:37:05.580 Jack Phillips,

00:37:06.660 we've had him on the show before,

00:37:08.380 Jack Phillips is now being sued again

00:37:10.520 for a third time

00:37:11.940 for refusing to participate

00:37:13.940 in activities that violate

00:37:16.020 his religious beliefs.

00:37:17.600 He first became prominent

00:37:19.120 because these LGBTQ activists

00:37:23.100 targeted Jack Phillips

00:37:24.720 to try to get him to bake a cake,

00:37:26.980 a customized cake, 0.76

00:37:28.040 for a gay wedding, so-called. 0.67

00:37:30.020 And he said, 0.77

00:37:30.760 I can't do that

00:37:31.760 because I'm an Orthodox Christian

00:37:33.320 and I don't think there's any such thing

00:37:35.120 as a gay wedding

00:37:35.760 and it violates my religious beliefs

00:37:37.740 to use my artistic skills

00:37:39.540 to create a custom cake 0.98

00:37:40.700 to be part of your gay wedding. 0.81

00:37:43.940 If you want to just buy 0.99

00:37:45.780 one of my regular cakes,

00:37:46.840 you're more than welcome

00:37:47.560 to buy one of those

00:37:48.340 and then you can use it

00:37:49.060 at your wedding.

00:37:49.720 But they didn't actually want the cake.

00:37:51.160 They wanted to ruin his life

00:37:52.380 because Jack Phillips is a Christian.

00:37:54.020 So they said,

00:37:54.520 no, you have to make a custom cake

00:37:55.760 and if you don't,

00:37:56.320 we're going to sue you into the ground 1.00

00:37:57.380 and take away your livelihood

00:37:58.600 and your business.

00:37:59.740 So they did that.

00:38:01.460 The Colorado Civil Rights Commission

00:38:02.980 came out against him.

00:38:04.000 They tried to litigate this guy

00:38:05.200 into the dirt.

00:38:06.120 This went all the way up

00:38:06.800 to the Supreme Court

00:38:07.580 and he won.

00:38:08.580 So guess what they did?

00:38:10.000 They went after him again.

00:38:11.820 A transgender activist,

00:38:14.000 a fellow by the name

00:38:14.840 of Autumn Scardina,

00:38:16.780 then tried to get him

00:38:18.100 to bake a cake,

00:38:19.940 to get Phillips to bake a cake

00:38:21.140 to celebrate his Scardina's

00:38:23.380 gender change.

00:38:25.980 I don't know what they call it.

00:38:26.860 Transformation.

00:38:27.640 And he wanted the cake

00:38:28.440 to be blue on the outside

00:38:29.940 and pink on the inside.

00:38:31.920 Get it?

00:38:32.320 Because he's a man on the outside,

00:38:33.780 but he's a woman on the inside.

00:38:35.600 Frankly, I'm very offended

00:38:37.260 that this guy,

00:38:38.580 Autumn Scardina,

00:38:39.500 would associate blue

00:38:40.660 with masculinity

00:38:41.680 and pink with femininity. 1.00

00:38:43.520 How bigoted, 0.78

00:38:44.400 how judgmental,

00:38:45.600 how patriarchal.

00:38:47.480 You don't,

00:38:48.180 boys don't get blue,

00:38:49.460 girls don't get pink. 1.00

00:38:50.300 How dare you, sir?

00:38:51.160 That's, again,

00:38:52.080 a side note.

00:38:54.240 Jack Phillips refused

00:38:55.040 to bake the cake,

00:38:55.760 so they follow this case

00:38:58.100 all the way down.

00:38:58.960 Phillips does okay.

00:39:00.180 Now, there's a third lawsuit,

00:39:02.920 again,

00:39:03.420 by this trans activist,

00:39:05.060 Autumn Scardina.

00:39:06.860 And it's not for refusing 0.98

00:39:08.680 to bake a gay wedding cake. 0.94

00:39:10.740 It's not for refusing 0.96

00:39:11.900 to bake a trans celebration cake.

00:39:15.780 It's for refusing

00:39:17.060 to bake a birthday cake. 0.62

00:39:19.700 Ah, so this transgender activist,

00:39:21.760 now,

00:39:22.400 now he's got Phillips.

00:39:24.460 The trick here,

00:39:26.620 you might wonder,

00:39:27.300 why didn't Phillips

00:39:27.820 just bake the birthday cake?

00:39:28.880 It's because it's a birthday cake

00:39:30.580 for Satan.

00:39:32.920 This guy, Autumn Scardina,

00:39:34.100 wants Phillips to bake a cake

00:39:35.440 that would feature

00:39:36.380 an upside-down cross

00:39:37.880 in black and red frosting

00:39:40.620 and a head of Lucifer.

00:39:44.340 So, as you might imagine,

00:39:45.760 Jack Phillips declined this.

00:39:48.600 This began, by the way,

00:39:50.360 the day that the Supreme Court

00:39:52.020 ruled in favor of Jack Phillips.

00:39:53.580 This activist called him

00:39:54.760 and asked for another cake,

00:39:56.920 a three-tiered white cake

00:39:58.460 cheesecake frosting,

00:40:00.960 the topper would be

00:40:01.860 a large figure of Satan 0.83

00:40:03.220 licking a nine-inch 1.00

00:40:05.300 black sex toy. 1.00

00:40:08.280 Use your imagination. 1.00

00:40:10.120 And the sex toy 0.87

00:40:11.120 had to be a working model, 0.97

00:40:13.000 according to the request.

00:40:14.700 So this obviously

00:40:15.240 has nothing to do with the cake.

00:40:16.300 There are a lot of bakeries

00:40:17.000 around here, by the way.

00:40:17.780 You'd think Jack Phillips

00:40:18.520 is the only baker in America.

00:40:20.020 There are actually explicitly

00:40:21.420 LGBTQ bakeries,

00:40:23.460 LGBTQ-centered bakeries,

00:40:26.620 closer to the people

00:40:28.220 asking for these cakes

00:40:29.180 than Phillips,

00:40:29.880 but they target Phillips

00:40:30.880 because they want to ruin his life

00:40:32.860 because he's a Christian.

00:40:35.020 I've met this guy.

00:40:36.120 You might think,

00:40:36.800 because he's been in the news so much,

00:40:38.160 this guy Jack Phillips,

00:40:39.300 he's probably not a regular baker.

00:40:41.640 He's probably some kind of activist.

00:40:43.540 He's just,

00:40:44.500 look, they're trying to get famous on it.

00:40:46.000 He's trying to get famous on it.

00:40:47.140 It's just a political battle.

00:40:49.040 Not so.

00:40:50.280 He's actually just a nice baker.

00:40:52.640 He's just a nice guy.

00:40:53.960 I've met him.

00:40:54.620 I was actually shocked.

00:40:55.880 I thought,

00:40:56.020 oh, you actually are a baker

00:40:57.240 who is just completely

00:40:58.580 being unfairly targeted

00:40:59.640 for being a Christian.

00:41:02.180 This shows you

00:41:03.100 that the calls for

00:41:03.820 live and let live,

00:41:04.960 tolerance,

00:41:05.840 you do you, 0.63

00:41:06.820 all of that is nonsense.

00:41:09.220 This shows you

00:41:09.880 that the left,

00:41:10.480 they're not happy with tolerance.

00:41:11.820 They're not happy with acceptance.

00:41:14.160 They're not happy with toleration.

00:41:16.120 They want to break down

00:41:18.180 your beliefs.

00:41:20.320 You now no longer

00:41:21.300 are permitted

00:41:22.080 to hold orthodox Christian,

00:41:25.140 Jewish,

00:41:25.440 or Islamic views

00:41:26.220 on sexuality on YouTube.

00:41:27.680 That's not allowed anymore.

00:41:28.880 That's hate speech.

00:41:29.880 That's gone.

00:41:30.780 You're now not allowed

00:41:32.020 to refuse to bake a cake

00:41:33.560 for Satan's birthday.

00:41:34.960 That's gone.

00:41:35.700 They want to destroy

00:41:37.380 your religious beliefs.

00:41:38.620 You know,

00:41:38.820 we've been talking about this,

00:41:39.880 this debate

00:41:40.800 that's been going on

00:41:41.640 on the right.

00:41:42.500 Do we want a conservatism

00:41:43.920 that begins

00:41:46.120 with certain religious premises

00:41:47.960 certain cultural premises

00:41:49.180 like Sohrab Amari,

00:41:51.620 the writer,

00:41:52.040 was advocating

00:41:52.640 a traditional conservatism

00:41:54.560 or do we want

00:41:55.480 this kind of

00:41:55.980 classical liberalism

00:41:57.100 that says

00:41:57.700 there's no foundation

00:41:58.580 to anything.

00:41:59.140 It's just all

00:41:59.720 a neutral space.

00:42:01.020 There's no neutral space.

00:42:03.060 There's not.

00:42:03.740 This is what

00:42:04.140 neutral space gets you.

00:42:05.620 It gets you,

00:42:06.500 it gets your life ruined

00:42:08.620 and your business destroyed

00:42:09.840 because you refuse 0.99

00:42:10.680 to bake a sex birthday cake 1.00

00:42:12.320 for Satan. 1.00

00:42:12.980 That's what it comes down to.

00:42:14.460 A little news

00:42:15.040 we have to get to

00:42:15.760 before we get out of here.

00:42:17.580 Pinterest is

00:42:18.960 a new social media platform

00:42:21.600 banning conservatives.

00:42:22.680 It's not a new social media platform.

00:42:24.080 It's been around for a while.

00:42:25.520 We have now uncovered,

00:42:27.200 we now know

00:42:28.140 they are banning conservatives

00:42:30.320 and that's thanks

00:42:31.020 to James O'Keefe

00:42:31.880 at Project Veritas.

00:42:33.640 Pinterest is now blocking

00:42:34.700 for sure

00:42:35.260 Ben Shapiro,

00:42:37.240 our editor-in-chief,

00:42:38.180 so I've got to assume

00:42:39.280 they're blocking

00:42:39.720 all of the Daily Wire content.

00:42:41.360 They're blocking PJ Media,

00:42:42.600 a right-wing site.

00:42:43.700 They're blocking live action.

00:42:45.120 They're now saying live action

00:42:46.300 is pornography.

00:42:47.780 That's the pro-life site.

00:42:49.720 And this is all thanks

00:42:50.840 to James O'Keefe

00:42:51.700 talking to a big tech whistleblower

00:42:53.640 who showed him

00:42:55.040 the Slack threads,

00:42:56.840 the email threads,

00:42:58.180 showed him behind the curtain

00:42:59.260 that live action

00:43:02.400 is going after conservatives.

00:43:04.360 Here is just a little bit

00:43:05.320 of that interview.

00:43:06.800 What are we looking at here?

00:43:08.020 It seems to be

00:43:08.640 a bunch of XXX

00:43:11.060 and porn websites,

00:43:12.500 and then there appears

00:43:14.260 to be the live action website.

00:43:16.060 What are we looking at here?

00:43:17.460 You're looking at pins

00:43:18.520 with domains

00:43:20.400 that are blocked.

00:43:22.480 Any domain

00:43:23.520 on the porn block list,

00:43:25.460 you can't make a pin

00:43:26.480 like that.

00:43:27.700 And I happened

00:43:29.120 to discover this

00:43:30.200 because of a Slack thread

00:43:32.100 talking about pro-life content

00:43:34.480 and somebody happened

00:43:35.860 to notice that

00:43:37.100 liveaction.org

00:43:38.640 was blocked.

00:43:39.820 And so I was

00:43:41.480 pretty surprised

00:43:42.400 and I went to

00:43:43.580 our porn domain block list

00:43:46.080 and then sure enough

00:43:47.080 I found live action on there.

00:43:48.440 Live action is a group

00:43:49.480 founded by Lila Rose

00:43:50.920 that tries to educate people

00:43:52.400 about the pro-life movement.

00:43:54.040 Liveaction.org

00:43:54.880 was added to a porn block list.

00:43:57.760 That means that

00:43:58.340 if you try to make a pin

00:43:59.500 that links to liveaction.org,

00:44:01.880 you won't be allowed to.

00:44:03.440 A pin won't be created.

00:44:04.660 Megan works on the

00:44:05.720 trust and safety team

00:44:06.720 and on government operations

00:44:08.080 and she was the one

00:44:10.320 who added liveaction.org

00:44:12.480 to the porn domain block list.

00:44:15.160 So we're getting

00:44:15.660 a lot of good information.

00:44:16.940 The reason that

00:44:17.500 that guy's voice

00:44:18.180 is all messed up

00:44:18.920 is not because

00:44:19.500 it's James Earl Jones

00:44:20.460 is the whistleblower.

00:44:21.380 It's because he wants

00:44:23.080 to keep his identity

00:44:24.720 anonymous, obviously.

00:44:27.700 This is absurd to add.

00:44:29.660 Live action is the most

00:44:31.020 wholesome website

00:44:31.700 on the internet.

00:44:32.520 It literally just exists.

00:44:34.480 To protect babies

00:44:36.580 and stop babies 0.95

00:44:37.400 from being killed.

00:44:38.420 It is the most wholesome,

00:44:39.580 family-friendly website

00:44:40.480 on the entire internet.

00:44:43.360 You know,

00:44:43.920 if they had added

00:44:44.460 Daily Wire

00:44:45.040 as a porn website,

00:44:46.080 I mean,

00:44:46.320 I've taken some

00:44:46.920 strange photos here.

00:44:47.880 I mean,

00:44:48.080 I've taken photos

00:44:48.860 without any pants

00:44:49.680 on a couch.

00:44:50.660 I've taken photos

00:44:51.260 licking a cake

00:44:51.860 without a shirt on.

00:44:52.580 So I would understand

00:44:53.520 that a little bit more.

00:44:54.580 Live action,

00:44:55.160 there's no explanation

00:44:56.380 other than

00:44:57.080 this was a vindictive play

00:44:58.600 from a social media platform

00:44:59.920 abusing its power,

00:45:01.720 abusing the rights,

00:45:04.020 the special protections

00:45:05.080 that have been given to it

00:45:06.040 by the government.

00:45:07.660 And it is using that

00:45:09.640 because it really supports abortion

00:45:11.380 and it wants to shut up 0.79

00:45:12.680 pro-life activists

00:45:13.660 because they know

00:45:14.480 they can't win the argument,

00:45:15.520 so they have to censor them.

00:45:17.200 Now,

00:45:17.800 it's not just live action

00:45:19.540 that's being targeted here.

00:45:20.700 It's not just the narrow case

00:45:21.960 of abortion.

00:45:22.460 It's Christians generally.

00:45:25.940 It's so much more

00:45:27.720 of the people

00:45:29.860 who reject leftist orthodoxy.

00:45:32.600 Here he is.

00:45:33.540 It contains offensive terms,

00:45:36.500 porn terms,

00:45:37.720 anything that we don't want

00:45:38.900 to show up on search.

00:45:41.060 There are a lot of terms

00:45:42.280 about Christians,

00:45:43.760 Bible verses.

00:45:45.140 So we have Pinterest

00:45:46.720 open right now.

00:45:47.860 I'm going to type in

00:45:48.560 the word Muslim

00:45:50.120 and what we see happen

00:45:52.320 on the screen

00:45:52.980 is it separates it

00:45:54.000 into two words,

00:45:55.660 Muslim fashion,

00:45:56.660 Muslim quotes.

00:45:57.740 This is called autocomplete.

00:45:59.660 I'll do it again

00:46:00.500 for the word Jewish.

00:46:02.200 I'll type in the search

00:46:03.000 Jewish art,

00:46:03.740 Jewish wedding,

00:46:04.220 Jewish recipe.

00:46:04.960 But then I type in

00:46:05.540 the word Christian

00:46:06.240 and something interesting happens.

00:46:10.340 Christians being bought 1.00

00:46:11.260 from autocomplete.

00:46:12.260 Some of the other words

00:46:13.180 that are on this

00:46:13.940 severity level is

00:46:15.680 sandwich,

00:46:16.600 cocaine,

00:46:17.920 one night stand,

00:46:19.000 Paris attack,

00:46:20.020 and quote,

00:46:20.600 wetback, unquote. 0.69

00:46:22.320 And those are now

00:46:23.220 being compared

00:46:23.920 to Christian quotes.

00:46:25.660 So in autocomplete now,

00:46:27.540 you can search

00:46:28.240 Jewish,

00:46:29.360 Muslim,

00:46:29.720 but when you search

00:46:30.260 Christian,

00:46:30.860 this is being blocked

00:46:32.680 and it's being put

00:46:34.020 on the level

00:46:34.500 of cocaine

00:46:35.200 and racial slurs

00:46:36.460 and pornography, 0.98

00:46:38.680 sex searches,

00:46:40.360 Christianity,

00:46:41.040 specifically singled out.

00:46:43.420 Not religion generally,

00:46:45.120 not religious freedom,

00:46:46.280 Christianity,

00:46:47.140 anti-Christian, 0.99

00:46:48.080 anti-baby,

00:46:48.880 anti-pro-life,

00:46:49.700 anti-conservative.

00:46:50.500 That's what we're getting.

00:46:52.520 According to the documents

00:46:53.700 James O'Keefe found,

00:46:55.160 Ben was censored

00:46:56.160 in a quote,

00:46:56.820 zero tolerance movement.

00:46:58.560 Christianity blocked 1.00

00:46:59.340 from autocomplete.

00:47:00.320 Video series exposing

00:47:01.420 Planned Parenthood

00:47:02.200 was in a censor list

00:47:03.680 as a harmful conspiracy.

00:47:05.360 A harmful conspiracy

00:47:06.200 that we can watch on video. 0.99

00:47:07.820 Don't believe your lying eyes, 0.90

00:47:08.920 just believe Pinterest. 0.91

00:47:10.460 Live action

00:47:11.200 on a list of porn sites.

00:47:13.100 Content couldn't be

00:47:13.980 clicked through

00:47:14.940 by users.

00:47:17.000 The Slack channels,

00:47:18.500 this is my favorite part,

00:47:19.400 the Slack channels

00:47:20.640 on the public policy

00:47:21.940 and social impact managers

00:47:23.140 instructed employees

00:47:25.100 to quote,

00:47:25.940 monitor the platform

00:47:27.000 for white supremacist content

00:47:28.780 from individuals

00:47:30.300 like conservative commentators

00:47:32.180 Ben Shapiro

00:47:32.940 and Candace Owens.

00:47:35.620 White supremacist content 0.89

00:47:37.340 by a Jew 0.99

00:47:38.340 and a black girl. 0.99

00:47:40.220 That's the sneakiest 1.00

00:47:41.660 white supremacists. 1.00

00:47:42.760 Those are the ones you, 0.99

00:47:43.960 forget the regular 0.99

00:47:44.760 white white supremacists, 0.99

00:47:46.200 the ones you got to look out for 0.99

00:47:47.140 are the Jewish 0.99

00:47:47.620 and black ones.

00:47:48.640 This is just another platform.

00:47:50.280 How many other social media

00:47:51.200 platforms are doing this?

00:47:53.200 How much more intense

00:47:54.880 is this social media censorship

00:47:56.600 going to get

00:47:57.160 before 2020?

00:47:58.620 And what needs to happen

00:48:00.100 before conservatives

00:48:01.200 come to their senses

00:48:02.040 and start insisting

00:48:04.460 that the law

00:48:05.280 be enforced

00:48:06.440 on these companies

00:48:07.680 to break up

00:48:08.460 their outrageous

00:48:09.540 abuses of power?

00:48:10.660 All good questions.
