The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 539 - The Cruelty Is The Point

00:00:00.000 As American psycho Gavin Newsom locked down his political opponent's beaches in one of the few

00:00:05.060 conservative counties in California, your humble correspondent broke the law to lounge in the sun.

00:00:10.860 The lockdown authoritarians don't have any arguments anymore to defend their draconian

00:00:14.920 policies, but that isn't the point. The cruelty is the point. Then Joe Biden blows it when

00:00:20.480 addressing sexual assault allegations against him, but it won't matter. Feminism dies with a tweet 1.00

00:00:25.520 and Hollywood tries to rewrite the history of one of the most important women in the history

00:00:30.020 of the conservative movement. I'm Michael Knowles, and this is the Michael Knowles Show.

00:00:41.420 I broke the law. I'm a criminal. At any moment now, the LAPD could knock down my studio door

00:00:49.440 and drag me away. Gavin Newsom's state secret police could pull me away because I violated

00:00:57.160 his beach lockdown order, and I did it gleefully. I first went to Huntington Beach, which is one of

00:01:04.180 the OC beaches. Then when we couldn't get on the beach there, I went down to Newport Beach.

00:01:08.880 Now you got to remember, Gavin Newsom, he ordered his lockdown of California. Then he said he was

00:01:14.660 going to start opening up California. Then he very specifically said that he was going to shut

00:01:19.480 down beaches in Orange County. Orange County, one of the few somewhat conservative counties

00:01:23.360 in a metro area of California. We first go to Huntington Beach. There was a big protest of this

00:01:29.040 lockdown on Friday, so we thought we'd get on the beach. They have not only the yellow tape up at all

00:01:34.640 the beach entrances, they have cops patrolling that yellow tape. Even if you wanted to break the rules

00:01:39.400 and go onto the beach, the cops would just grab you right as you tried to walk on. Not just that,

00:01:44.060 there were helicopters patrolling the beach, ordering people to go inside.

00:01:49.580 I took this video of one just on my iPhone.

00:01:55.260 Attention on the beach and the border walk. All city and state stations have been ordered

00:01:59.340 closed by the state. Please remain clear of the beach and the border walk and still further notice.

00:02:05.060 We apologize for this inconvenience. The things you do cooperate is during this difficult situation.

00:02:14.060 This is something that was extraordinarily eerie about not only what we heard out of that helicopter,

00:02:23.500 but even what we heard from some of the cops walking around and from some of the other bullhorns,

00:02:28.920 is all of these law enforcement officers tried to sound so pleasant. Oh, excuse me. Sorry. Sorry for the

00:02:36.900 inconvenience. Um, go home right now, uh, because the state has ordered law enforcement officers with

00:02:43.640 guns to kick you off of the beach. But Ray, we're really sorry. It's for your own benefit. You know,

00:02:48.560 so smiley, so kind, so nice, but the end result is the same. The governor is ordering you imprisoned in

00:02:54.860 your own homes. And if you even try to go out and take a walk in the sunshine, we'll bully you out of

00:03:00.060 there and put you back indoors. That was Huntington. You couldn't get on the beach in Huntington. It

00:03:05.500 wasn't possible. So we drove about 10 minutes down the road, down PCH and got to Newport beach,

00:03:11.180 Newport beach, a little more, uh, freedom loving down there. There were people on the beach.

00:03:17.800 So we walked onto the beach and then at a certain point, the lifeguard SUVs rolled up,

00:03:24.640 followed by the cop SUVs rolling up with the same message, ordering people off the beach. Now,

00:03:30.700 what's so interesting about this video, again, I just got it on my phone, is the lifeguards and the

00:03:35.920 cops, they order everyone off the beach and the people on Newport beach, they just don't move.

00:03:40.240 All right. It goes on. There's still some more, you know, please leave the beach. Hey everybody,

00:04:04.100 the governor leaves the beach. And as they're driving by, there's just people sitting there

00:04:07.320 in their chairs like, Oh, Hey officer, how you doing? Bye bye. That's the, the better attitude

00:04:12.320 toward it. I think Newport was a lot better than, than Huntington in terms of the people who were

00:04:16.560 going to the beach. The cops patrolled, no one really paid attention. Some people maybe left a

00:04:21.080 little bit. Then the minute the cops were gone, the people just went right on the beach. And that was

00:04:24.240 that. The beach closures have nothing to do with public health. This is the key takeaway that I saw

00:04:34.480 firsthand. The beach closures are purely punitive. They are just meant to punish you. They're just

00:04:41.740 meant to make you feel bad. Now, how do we know this? Well, for starters, there's research that just

00:04:48.240 came out of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Foundation Trust and the University of East Anglia in England,

00:04:52.980 which shows that a deficiency of vitamin D apparently makes the coronavirus far more dangerous

00:04:59.700 compared the average vitamin D levels of 20 European countries with COVID-19 mortality rates

00:05:04.820 found significant relationships between vitamin D and the number of deaths caused by this infection.

00:05:10.680 So basically stands to reason. If you go out and get a little bit of sunshine, you're going to be

00:05:14.800 healthier than if you stay cramped in this, these dank indoor spaces all the time. Obviously, if we want

00:05:21.880 to keep our vitamin D levels up, no better place to do it in Southern California than at the beach.

00:05:25.800 They don't care. They're ordering you indoors. Another reason this is ridiculous.

00:05:29.400 The beaches are huge. So one thing I saw in Huntington Beach is the huge wide beaches totally 0.53

00:05:35.240 empty. The sidewalks packed full of people. If you want people to social distance, how about you open

00:05:40.140 up the giant open spaces? If you did that, people obviously would be far further apart than they would

00:05:45.940 be otherwise. When I finally did make it down to Newport Beach, once the cops went away, I just went down

00:05:50.680 with my chairs, hung out there for a few hours. We weren't just six feet apart. We were probably 30 or 40

00:05:56.380 feet apart at that point. But it doesn't matter. Gavin Newsom, that's not the point. The point is not

00:06:04.160 to social distance. Third reason why. Fresh air is always good. Having a little fresh air is good for

00:06:08.920 the body, especially when we're talking about airborne illnesses. Either you can be cramped up,

00:06:13.120 cooped up with people and sharing the same stagnant air, or you can be out in the fresh air.

00:06:17.880 But the key giveaway that this is just political punishment is that Newsom singled out his political

00:06:27.380 opponent's county, OC. The volume of density, the volume of people and concentrated space,

00:06:35.180 particularly in a few cities, few coastal cities off and around the Orange County area,

00:06:43.460 those were the point of particular concern. So today we want to make some clarifications.

00:06:49.360 We're going to do a hard close in that part of the state, just in the Orange County area.

00:06:55.420 Yeah, just in that Orange County area. You know, just in that area that voted against me when I ran

00:06:59.740 for governor. Just in that area. You jerks. You monsters. The other areas, they're okay. But just in

00:07:07.800 that one area full of my political opponents. Pathetic stuff. What did I do at the beach? What 0.99

00:07:14.560 did I do when I was violating the law? I ate a taco and I read the Aeneid. And I caught some sunshine.

00:07:22.680 That's it. That's pretty much all anybody was doing. Reading a book, kind of listening to music,

00:07:28.700 drinking a little bit. That's it. Okay. Everyone was very far apart. All that this is about is just

00:07:37.040 politicians covering their derriere. It occurred to me while sitting on the beach. This is going to 0.99

00:07:42.340 get a lot worse before it gets any better. Not because of the virus, but because of the politics

00:07:47.760 of it. Why? There's increasing evidence that the lockdowns didn't save a single life.

00:07:53.620 Not just that they were ineffective, but that they didn't save a single life. The two,

00:07:57.460 the only two things the lockdowns can accomplish are flatten the curve so as not to overwhelm the

00:08:03.460 hospital system and flatten the curve until we can get a point, but we can get to a point where we

00:08:08.140 have a vaccine and that will save a lot of lives. However, we didn't come close to overwhelming the

00:08:14.700 hospital system, even in the places that were at the center of the epidemic. So that, that argument

00:08:20.000 off the table, we're not close to a vaccine and there's increasing evidence that the virus is

00:08:24.640 spreading much, much faster. There were many, many more people infected than we thought that there

00:08:29.240 were. And so it, it seems very unlikely, if not impossible, that we're going to get a vaccine

00:08:35.200 before this virus spreads throughout a huge portion of the population. So there's no evidence

00:08:39.960 that the lockdowns accomplished much of anything at all. There is increasing evidence that the

00:08:47.980 governors and the mayors need to convince people that the lockdowns were necessary. You're even seeing

00:08:52.800 this at the federal government, federal, state, and local. And so we need to have these, or politicians

00:09:00.120 think we need to have these punitive measures like beach closures to play on cognitive dissonance.

00:09:06.560 That's, that's the principle that's at play here. What is cognitive dissonance? It's when you're seeing

00:09:10.100 a disagreement between your behavior and what you see intellectually to be true. There's more to it

00:09:16.220 than that, but that's a simple description of it. What people are seeing, what people are reasoning

00:09:21.420 through intellectually is the lockdowns were an overreach. They increasingly do not seem to be

00:09:26.900 necessary. They increasingly seem to be making things worse, right? Because the economy has

00:09:31.280 completely crashed. People's livelihoods are being ruined. Suicide rates are going to go up. Drug, drug

00:09:35.700 overdose rates are going to go up. People are looking at it saying, wow, this is a bad policy. And even if

00:09:40.440 it made sense five weeks ago, it certainly doesn't make sense now, right? And yet the politicians have

00:09:47.060 doubled down on it to make it seem like it was necessary. And so they're, they're forcing people

00:09:52.200 back indoors. They're forcing people away from the beach. They're not letting anybody return to

00:09:56.660 anything even slightly resembling a normal life. Gavin Newsom says, it's not going to just be weeks.

00:10:01.640 It's going to be months before we reopen churches. We're going to, all the things that really matter to

00:10:06.180 you, we're not going to reopen because if we're all cooped up inside, if we're not going to walk on the

00:10:11.860 beach, even though it's perfectly fine to walk on the beach, following all the rules, you can still go to the

00:10:15.820 beach. If we stay cooped up inside, we're going to feel like this is a super serious thing. Our

00:10:22.440 behavior is going to be telling us that this is the end of the world and we have to stay indoors.

00:10:26.580 And so it will be easier to convince ourselves that the politicians were right in the first place,

00:10:31.280 but they're not. This is a complete political rear end covering right now. And all of the incentives

00:10:39.040 are going to be in place for politicians to make this worse. You know, on a very simple, shallow level,

00:10:43.880 people think that politicians want to make this easier for us. They want us to help go back to

00:10:49.120 work. They want us to be able to go outside and enjoy ourselves and enjoy the sunshine.

00:10:52.400 No, it actually will be better for the alarmist politicians. If this feels tougher on us,

00:10:59.180 because it makes it look like they were right in the first place. Uh, we will get to more on this

00:11:04.040 principle and we'll get to the Biden interview in just a moment. First though, I've got to thank our

00:11:07.360 friends over equipped. I have to thank all of our friends, our sponsors who have stuck with us,

00:11:10.700 you know, pretty crazy days we're in right now, tough times economically. We really appreciate

00:11:14.980 our sponsors who are sticking with us and allowing us to remain on the air. So we would appreciate it

00:11:19.940 if you would support them as well. One of those sponsors are very important these days is Quip,

00:11:25.840 you know, under the current circumstances, basic habits like oral hygiene can sometimes go by the

00:11:31.940 wayside. You know, you don't necessarily go to the drugstore. You don't replace the things you got

00:11:35.080 to replace. That's exactly why you need to get a great toothbrush and stick to your healthy habits.

00:11:39.860 Good health starts with good habits. Simple as that. We talk about that principle on the show

00:11:44.360 all the time. You got to get into good habits. Quip makes it easy by delivering all the oral care

00:11:48.860 essentials that you need to brush and floss better. The Quip electric toothbrush has timed sonic vibrations

00:11:54.980 with 30 second pulses to guide a dentist recommended two minute routine. And there's even a size down

00:12:00.520 version designed for kids. Uh, you pair this with Quip's anti-cavity toothpaste and mint or watermelon.

00:12:05.340 You get all the ingredients that teeth actually need and none that they don't.

00:12:09.840 Uh, Quip's is just tremendous. Go right now to getquip.com slash Michael. You will get your

00:12:14.980 first refill free. That is getquip.com slash Michael G E T Q U I P dot com slash M I C H A E L

00:12:22.620 Quip the good habits company. So Gavin Newsom, right? Covering his political derriere.

00:12:31.860 He sent this letter on March 18th to president Trump. Dear Mr. President, I write to respectfully

00:12:37.080 request you immediately deploy the USNS Mercy hospital ship to be stationed in LA through September

00:12:41.900 to help decompress our current healthcare system. As you know, California has been disproportionately

00:12:46.560 impacted by repatriation efforts. We project that roughly 56% of our population, 25.5 million people,

00:12:52.380 will be infected with the virus over an eight week period. None of his predictions came true.

00:12:56.400 Certainly not by the official count. The hospital system was not overwhelmed. California is actually

00:13:00.520 doing relatively quite well. Uh, so he was wrong. He was wrong. And as it becomes clear that he's

00:13:05.800 wrong, he's doubling down. You see this in Chicago to Chicago mayor, Lori Lightfoot saying that she's

00:13:11.320 going to throw people in jail if they don't stay in their dank apartments. Now I've directed

00:13:15.780 Superintendent Brown to order all police districts to give special attention to these parties. And this

00:13:23.140 is how it's going to be. We will shut you down. We will cite you. And if we need to, we will arrest

00:13:29.880 you and we will take you to jail period. There should be nothing unambiguous about that. Don't make us

00:13:38.640 treat you like a criminal. But if you act like a criminal and you violate the law and you refuse

00:13:45.340 to do what is necessary to save lives in the city in the middle of a pandemic, we will take you to jail

00:13:52.420 period. So this kind of talk is very offensive to an American. We don't like to hear our politicians

00:13:59.020 talk to us like this. Pretty disgraceful, not in keeping with our national tradition of respect for

00:14:05.120 our citizens, free government, self-government, right? And yet she's kind of got a point.

00:14:12.560 I mean, she's dead wrong in how she talks and what she does and pretty much everything because she's a 1.00

00:14:16.440 very crooked Chicago politician. But she does have a point here. It gets to something that we were

00:14:21.860 talking about last week in our description of freedom and what it means to be free and how we learn

00:14:28.460 to be free. There will be order. Okay. The government will impose order on us or we will

00:14:37.300 impose order on ourselves. And in the early tradition of the United States, we had a rigorous

00:14:44.740 system of self-government, very local government, strong families, strong liberal arts, the liberal

00:14:50.300 arts being the way that we make sense of our freedom and earn our freedom and discipline ourselves.

00:14:54.580 Very religious. John Adams said this. Remember, he said, our constitution is built for a moral

00:14:59.800 and religious people. It is unfit to the governance of other kinds of people. We have a free government, 1.00

00:15:06.360 but if you're going to have a free government, it doesn't mean just do what you want. Free

00:15:08.980 government means you control yourselves so that we don't have to impose it on you. And increasingly,

00:15:14.080 particularly over the last 50 or 60 years, there has been a social movement in this country,

00:15:18.500 the left, that has sought to take away those controls. So most noticeably, you see this in the realm

00:15:23.780 of sex. We saw it at the beginning with free love. It's moved on to you do you. It's going on to the

00:15:31.700 moral standard of if it feels good, do it. That now there is basically no limit to our sexual expression.

00:15:38.460 We should indulge any sexual desire that we have basically at any time. You saw then the breakdown

00:15:43.220 of marriage, which is the fundamental building block of society. You saw the rise of no-fault divorce.

00:15:48.800 You saw the rise of slightly strange, a little bit kooky living situations. You saw a social

00:15:55.960 breakdown at that level. Then this rises up to the community level. Communities don't remain quite as

00:16:03.500 strong as you have the sort of cult of the atomized individual and pursuing one's own individual

00:16:09.020 self-interest at the expense of any kind of public interest. These localities start to break down.

00:16:13.580 People move away, first of all, from them. They don't participate in their own civic civil society.

00:16:19.580 You see the voluntary associations that political observers like Alexis de Tocqueville observed in

00:16:25.180 America, you know, the Lions Club, the PTA, that kind of thing. Those start to break down as well.

00:16:29.880 Ultimately, at the end of this, I'm skipping a lot of steps, but you know, in the interest of time,

00:16:33.480 you get to what Barack Obama in 2012 described as the life of Julia. And this, this was so honest of the

00:16:40.040 left talking about their, their platform that they actually scrubbed it from the internet because it

00:16:46.120 was very spooky. And the life of Julia was this description cradle to grave of this woman's life 0.85

00:16:51.700 where she has no meaningful relationship with anybody but the federal government. No husband,

00:16:57.980 no local community, no, nothing, nothing, no family, just the government. Even when she chooses to

00:17:04.100 have a child, she doesn't get fall in love, get married, you know, have a big baptism, have a party.

00:17:08.240 No, none of that. She chooses to have a child and then the government takes care of that child for 1.00

00:17:13.180 her. And that's, that's it. As we pursue merely our own individual desires, then the power of the

00:17:22.340 government grows and they control us. Now, what's funny is Lori Lightfoot here, this leftist politician, 1.00

00:17:27.280 she's sort of complaining about this. She's pretending she's upset. The left has been hoping for this for

00:17:31.480 60 years at least. Okay. And it's up to us to fight back against that. If we want to not be

00:17:38.360 talked to by our politicians like that, if we want to have a little dignity and respect and freedom in

00:17:43.000 this country, we need to govern our own desires. Now, what Lori Lightfoot is saying is if you go out

00:17:50.200 and, you know, don't listen to every word we're saying, then you're not behaving. You're not controlling

00:17:54.280 yourself. That's not true. We don't need to control ourselves in the way the politicians want us to

00:17:59.540 control ourselves. Certainly not. But we do need to be able to control ourselves, our desires, our

00:18:05.020 actions, our behaviors, so that not only will the politicians not talk to us that way because they

00:18:11.880 have such respect for us. They're such good people out of the kindness of their heart because they

00:18:15.300 won't be allowed to because some hack two-bit would-be totalitarians wouldn't dare speak that way 0.99

00:18:22.060 to a free people. Now, speaking of two-bit tin pot would-be world leaders, we will get to Joe Biden.

00:18:30.620 He had a mostly disastrous, but it still probably won't matter, interview on MSNBC to address the

00:18:36.980 sexual assault allegations. We'll get to that in a second. First, got to thank our friends over at

00:18:40.440 LifeLock. LifeLock is very important these days. You've got to be prepared. You know people who are

00:18:47.260 prepared for every eventuality, right? And you're not one of those people, but you'd like to be.

00:18:52.320 Breaches seem like they're happening more and more these days. And with your breached information,

00:18:56.440 like your name, social security number, and more, criminals can commit identity theft. And that's

00:19:00.620 why LifeLock sees more threats, like someone taking out a payday loan in your name alerts you

00:19:05.020 to possible suspicious activity. And if you end up having an identity theft issue, you will be

00:19:10.460 talking to your dedicated identity restoration specialist just a phone call away. No one can prevent

00:19:16.620 all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses. But with breaches on the rise,

00:19:20.620 doesn't it make sense to be prepared? You're doing a lot more online these days. Make sure you're

00:19:24.400 prepared. Join LifeLock and save up to 25% off your first year. Go to lifelock.com slash Knowles.

00:19:30.080 That is lifelock.com slash Knowles, K-N-W-L-E-S. And my gift to you, you will save 25%. You just have to

00:19:38.680 go to lifelock.com slash Knowles, K-N-W-L-E-S. Joe Biden finally addresses the sexual assault

00:19:49.200 allegations from Tara Reid. Mainstream media have been doing a good job of covering up for him and

00:19:53.540 not asking him questions. Finally, he goes on Morning Joe. He talks to Mika Brzezinski and he makes

00:20:02.160 the strongest defense I've heard yet of why we should not pin these allegations on him.

00:20:09.140 I don't remember any type of complaint she may have made. It was 27 years ago. And I don't remember,

00:20:16.700 nor does anyone else that I'm aware of. And the fact is that I don't remember. I don't remember

00:20:23.120 any complaint ever having been made. The fact is, I don't remember. This is by far Joe Biden's best

00:20:28.460 defense. The one thing I believe from Joe Biden is that he doesn't remember. Absolutely. And he

00:20:35.420 doesn't remember his own name. He doesn't remember where he is at all. So he makes this argument,

00:20:39.520 which we would expect. And it was by far the highlight of the interview. Further down in the

00:20:46.460 interview, he starts to break apart. You know that Joe Biden is not great with his words. He's always

00:20:51.600 putting his foot in his mouth. He lets out a little bit too much. So Mika asks him, okay, you don't

00:20:57.560 remember this. Do you know if there is a record of this woman filing a complaint? Are you absolutely

00:21:05.740 certain that there is no record that she filed a complaint? This is a great opportunity where if

00:21:10.720 there is no complaint, Joe Biden can come out and say, yes, there is no complaint. Take that one to

00:21:15.560 the bank. This is BS. We're moving on. But he can't say that because it seems very likely that there is

00:21:21.500 a complaint. And so Joe Biden gives us this word salad, non answer of an answer. As we look, this is a

00:21:29.040 very short. I'm sorry. Go ahead, please. No, no, that's as we await for the records from the National

00:21:35.200 Archives. Are you absolutely certain? Are you absolutely positive? There is no record of any

00:21:42.040 complaint by Tara Reid against you. I am absolutely positive that no one that I'm aware of ever has been

00:21:50.540 made aware of any complaint, a formal complaint made by, or a complaint by Tara Reid against me

00:21:58.280 at the time this allegedly happened 27 years ago or until the, I announced for, well, it was, I guess

00:22:05.640 it was in April or May of this year. I'm ab, let me see if I get this right. I'm absolutely certain

00:22:12.580 that I'm certain and that there's no record of a complaint that of anyone that I talked to having a

00:22:17.940 record or, or a complaint or a complaint of anyone from the time in the ever or until May or until

00:22:26.300 April. No, I think I'm pretty, no, absolutely no aware. Those were, I guess every word that Joe Biden

00:22:36.500 used made sense, but when you put them together, they didn't mean anything and they didn't, they

00:22:40.640 didn't mean anything because he can't be certain that there isn't a complaint and very likely he thinks

00:22:45.720 that there is a complaint. So, okay, so far, basically so good. What else is he going to say?

00:22:50.480 He's going to use mealy mouthed politician language. I don't remember this. Well, there's,

00:22:54.280 I don't know. There's probably not a chance that maybe there is. Then Joe Biden goes too far

00:22:59.360 and we kind of move actually past the Tara Reid sexual assault stuff into the broader problem of

00:23:06.100 Joe Biden's public life, which is that he's held virtually every position on virtually every issue.

00:23:11.080 He doesn't really believe anything. He's corrupt. There's a lot of evidence of his own corruption. 0.98

00:23:16.840 And so to begin, Mika says, why can't we just search these records? Your records are at the

00:23:22.580 University of Delaware. Let's just open them up and give them a search. He goes, we can't search those

00:23:26.380 records because those records contain many of my speeches and publicly held positions from over the

00:23:32.500 years. And it would be unfair for those speeches and positions to be re released publicly while I'm

00:23:42.500 running for office. He basically saying it would be very unfair for people to know what I've thought

00:23:48.260 and done for my whole career, because then nobody would vote for me. Okay, please go ahead.

00:23:54.360 The first is about your university of Delaware records. Do you agree with the reporting that those

00:24:01.460 records were supposed to be revealed to the public and then they were resealed for a longer period of

00:24:06.460 time until after you leave, quote, public life? And if you agree with that, if that's what happened, why did

00:24:12.780 that happen? Because, look, the fact is that there's a lot of things that of speeches I've made, positions I've

00:24:21.280 taken, interviews that that I did overseas with people, all of those things relating to my job and the idea that

00:24:29.040 they would all be made public in the fact while I was running for public office, they could be really

00:24:34.500 taken out of context. Their papers are position papers. They are documents that existed. And that

00:24:41.020 when I, for example, when I go, when I met with Putin or when I met with whomever and all of that to be

00:24:46.920 fodder in a campaign at this time, I don't know of anybody who's done anything like that. And so the National

00:24:53.840 Archives is the only place there would be anything having to do with personnel records. There are no

00:24:59.340 personnel records in the Biden papers at the university. Stop talking. Quit while you're ahead.

00:25:09.120 Initially he says, look, I don't have any, there's no personnel records in here, so there's no reason

00:25:12.880 to open these up. I don't have any recollection of the complaint. No one else does either.

00:25:17.180 Also, we can't open them up because it's got all my positions that I've held over the years and we

00:25:22.040 don't want people to know about my positions. Also, there are conversations I've had with Vladimir Putin.

00:25:26.980 We definitely don't want people to hear that. It's like, what? Dude, now all you've done is convince me

00:25:33.080 from the beginning of that clip to the end that we definitely need to reopen those records for way more

00:25:37.820 than the Tara Reade stuff. I don't really care that much about the Tara Reade stuff. I mean, it's a good

00:25:42.680 attack on Joe Biden because of the absolute rank hypocrisy of the Me Too movement and feminists, which we will

00:25:49.120 get to in a moment because Lisa Bloom, the famous feminist lawyer has proved this perfectly, but 1.00

00:25:54.900 it's not really about the Tara Reade stuff because Joe Biden does have a point. It's been 27 years and

00:26:00.980 it's strange that these things are just coming up now. Should they be investigated? Yeah, sure. I

00:26:05.700 suppose so. They're far more credible than the Brett Kavanaugh allegations. I have a far more sympathetic

00:26:11.100 view of the accuser in this case than any of the feminists do. So surely we should at least take it 0.93

00:26:17.300 seriously, but it's not just the Tara Reade stuff. It's his whole career. And he says, no, we can't

00:26:22.920 look at that. He's actually kind of agreeing with me saying, yeah, we're not that worried about the

00:26:27.540 allegation. We're worried about my whole career. He goes on and unbelievable. You got to give it to

00:26:32.020 Joe Biden. He somehow makes a bad defense even worse when he says, forget even about my public papers.

00:26:41.400 What about all the contacts I've had with foreign governments? What about my conversations

00:26:46.080 with Barack Obama that I had about those foreign governments? Why not do it for both sets of records?

00:26:54.820 Because the material in the University of Delaware has no personnel files and it has, but it does have

00:27:02.940 a lot of confidential conversations that I had with the president about a particular issue that I had with

00:27:09.260 the heads of state of other places, that that would not be something that would be revealed

00:27:15.200 while I was in public office or while I was seeking public office. You had a lot of conversations

00:27:21.180 with president, then president Barack Obama about a particular issue. And on this issue, you also had

00:27:30.060 conversations with heads of state. What might that particular issue be? Would that particular issue be

00:27:37.860 the actual biggest scandal of your recent campaign? The issue that while you were vice president running

00:27:45.880 relations with the Ukraine, you insisted that the prosecutor who was investigating your crooked son 0.68

00:27:51.680 get fired in exchange for aid from the United States? Would it, would it be that on this issue of Ukraine and

00:28:02.000 Hunter Biden and Burisma that that clip where you said, we're going to withhold the funding? If you don't

00:28:06.800 fire this guy, I'll call Barack Obama right now. Would it be, you know, that clip was kind of floating

00:28:11.440 around. Would that be the issue maybe? Is that the issue that you don't want to come up? I don't know.

00:28:15.760 I'm just raising questions. I haven't seen the files, but it sure as hell seems to me that we should.

00:28:22.740 Biden taking a bad particular situation, which is this increasingly credible 0.95

00:28:28.000 allegation against him. Although we don't know that it is actually credible, right? Don't forget,

00:28:32.740 it still took decades for this thing to come out. Story has changed a little bit. Far more credible

00:28:37.460 than Christine Blasey Ford, but let's not get ahead of ourselves here, right? He's taking this bad

00:28:42.280 problem for his campaign and turning it into a much broader problem that reflects on his own corruption

00:28:47.000 and his own political weaknesses. And then he gets to the worst clip, the most awkward clip of the

00:28:55.480 entire interview. We'll get to that in one second. And we'll get to President Trump's wild, incredible,

00:29:02.580 brilliant response to Joe Biden's interview. But first, time is running out. When you become a

00:29:07.560 Daily Wire, Insider Plus, or All Access member, do you know what you get? You get a leftist years

00:29:11.540 tumbler. You know that, right? What if I told you that you get two leftist years tumblers, two

00:29:18.880 magnificent tumblers, and this deal ends tomorrow. Deals like this don't come around very often. I think

00:29:23.660 we've only done this this time. I think it's the first time we've ever done it. So right now,

00:29:28.060 take advantage of it. And existing members, I know that you may feel a little bit of envy. Don't

00:29:31.860 worry. We have a special offer coming up just for you. Very important thing to get these two tumblers

00:29:36.420 because as the entire modern feminist movement collapses, which it did yesterday, you're going to

00:29:43.360 need the tumblers to collect all of the tiers. Go to dailywire.com. We will be right back.

00:29:53.660 Okay, so I've got to warn you, when you listen to Joe Biden's response on this, there's going to be

00:30:03.620 a pause. Your audio has not gone out. The podcast has not stopped. It's just that awkward.

00:30:14.000 What's funny about this is that it's actually Joe Biden's best defense,

00:30:18.140 but he couldn't give it right. Classic Joe Biden. So Mika asks, if there's nothing there

00:30:24.980 in the records, why not do a search? I'm just talking about her name,

00:30:30.020 not anybody else in those records, a search for that.

00:30:40.360 Nothing classified with the president or anybody else. I'm just asking why not do a search for Tara

00:30:46.260 Reed's name in the University of Delaware records. Look, I mean, who, who, who does that search?

00:30:57.900 The University of Delaware. Uh, perhaps you set up a commission that can do it. I don't know.

00:31:05.080 Well, whatever is the fairest way to create the most transparency. Well, this is look, Mika.

00:31:14.120 She said she filed a report. She has her employment records still. She said she filed a report with the

00:31:22.720 only office that would have a report in the United States Senate at the time. If the report was ever

00:31:29.420 filed, it was filed there, period. Oh, he finally got around to it. It's there, period. It's all over,

00:31:37.200 but not before that long, awkward pause. This is Joe Biden's best defense as to why he doesn't want

00:31:43.840 to open up his sealed records at the University of Delaware. And that defense is who's going to do

00:31:47.700 the search. We're in the midst of a presidential campaign. Nobody could possibly be without some kind

00:31:53.400 of interest here, without some kind of bias. So we're, we just can't do it because nobody would

00:31:58.420 have the objectivity to do it. If the Biden campaign did the search, no one would believe it.

00:32:03.540 If the University of Delaware did the search, it might leak and still perhaps no one would believe

00:32:07.860 it. If some other political operatives were brought in, it would be too unreliable and too

00:32:15.380 dangerous and other candidates actually wouldn't do it. But Joe Biden can't get this out there. So Joe

00:32:19.760 Biden just destroys himself as always, as he always does. Just his campaign gets worse and worse and

00:32:26.880 worse all on his own. Nicole Wallace, mainstream media reporter, MSNBC decides that it's not Joe

00:32:35.580 Biden's own fault. It's not Mika Brzezinski's own fault. It's not Tara Reade's fault. You're not

00:32:40.360 technically allowed to blame Tara Reade, even though that's what the Democrats are trying to do. She's 1.00

00:32:43.720 saying that this whole ass, this whole aspect of the attack on Joe Biden is a smear campaign 1.00

00:32:48.860 being run by Republicans. I think that this is a year without campaigns, without a campaign trail, 0.99

00:32:55.520 without a campaign press corps. And the silver lining, if you will, is that voters are going to

00:33:00.260 have to watch that interview this morning and make their own judgments. There are no more arbiters.

00:33:06.540 There are no more poobahs in either party. Let me just say this too, having once been a part of the 1.00

00:33:11.020 Republican Party, the right isn't running an intellectually honest operation to get to the

00:33:15.660 bottom of whether Tara Reade was victimized. The right is running a smear campaign against Joe

00:33:20.220 Biden. It's a smear campaign being run by the right. It's being run by the right, really?

00:33:25.380 I thought it was being run by Tara Reade, who is a Democrat, who isn't just a Democrat. She's a 1.00

00:33:30.380 Democratic staffer who worked for Joe Biden.

00:33:33.780 That's what it is. And by the way, Republicans have been actually pretty laissez-faire about this

00:33:42.060 whole thing. We haven't totally embraced the Tara Reade stuff. We're pointing out the hypocrisy

00:33:46.380 of how Kavanaugh was treated versus how Biden's being treated by the media, but we're not totally

00:33:51.260 embracing it. Actually, here's my evidence. President Trump is sort of defending Joe Biden.

00:33:57.960 This is a brilliant, totally unexpected, but a brilliant move. President Trump was on Dan

00:34:02.400 Bongino's podcast just a couple of days ago, and he was asked about the Tara Reade allegations.

00:34:08.160 And you ask yourself, how's Trump going to respond? Is he going to go hard after Joe and call him a

00:34:13.120 creepy sexual assailant? Is he going to stay out of the fray? Or, this is the bizarre option, 0.78

00:34:21.600 is he going to defend Joe Biden? And actually, defending Joe Biden was politically the smartest move.

00:34:26.840 I've been falsely accused by people that I've never even seen. I've never even seen many of

00:34:32.880 these people. And some of them, I've met them, zero interest, okay, like zero. And all of a sudden,

00:34:40.240 you become a wealthy guy, you're a famous guy, then you become president. And people just,

00:34:47.620 people that you've never seen, that you've never heard of, make charges. So, you know,

00:34:53.240 I guess in a way you could say I'm, I'm sticking up for him, but the mother was very compelling,

00:34:59.120 certainly. And the girlfriend or the friends were very compelling and certainly far more compelling

00:35:04.520 than anything they had with respect to Brett Kavanaugh. This is one of the most high quality

00:35:09.320 human beings. What they did to that family and that man is a disgrace.

00:35:12.920 So Scott Adams, the Dilbert guy, gave some good analysis of this. A few other people have as well,

00:35:18.700 but Scott's is worth checking out. Trump is in a very tough spot here, right? Because if Trump goes

00:35:24.220 after Joe based on these allegations as some creepy sexual assailant, well, look, Donald Trump has been

00:35:30.540 a playboy for much of his career. And so you can always dredge up a bunch of people who were calling

00:35:36.920 him some kind of sexual assailant, none with the credibility of Tara Reid against Joe Biden,

00:35:41.880 right? You always hear this from the left. They say there's 20 accusations of sexual misconduct

00:35:46.320 against Trump, 25, 50 million accusations of sexual misconduct. The way that you know that

00:35:51.580 there aren't really 20 serious allegations of sexual misconduct against Trump is if any of

00:35:56.460 them were really credible, the mainstream media would not have shut up about it for the last four

00:36:00.940 years, but they don't have any actual credible allegations against Trump. So they trot out a porn

00:36:06.480 star that he had a completely consensual relationship with. Remember Stormy Daniels, they used that for like

00:36:10.420 a year or two years. If they had someone who actually said that guy raped me, that guy assaulted

00:36:17.380 me, then we would know her name, right? But you never hear the name. She just hear, oh, it's 20,

00:36:22.880 it's 25 women. So Trump still knows that he's not going to be treated fairly in the media.

00:36:28.100 And so he takes this really reasonable position, which is, look, we don't know if these claims are

00:36:34.040 true. Famous people, famous men do get targeted with false allegations. This has happened a lot.

00:36:41.240 We don't know if the allegations are true or not against Joe. The only thing we know

00:36:45.320 is that the left and the media are being completely hypocritical here. This is the same argument. 0.93

00:36:49.920 This is by far the best argument that conservatives could possibly make. And it leaves the left no

00:36:58.280 wiggle room, right? They've tried to put us in an impossible position. We turn it around and put them

00:37:02.400 in that position. Lisa Bloom, Gloria Allred's daughter, Lisa Bloom, one of the most famous

00:37:08.060 feminist lawyers in the country, took this, she was in this impossible position and she took it 1.00

00:37:14.660 to its logical conclusion. I think that this tweet from Lisa Bloom will be cited by sociologists

00:37:22.920 as the precise moment that feminism died. She tweets out, unbelievable. I believe you, Tara Reid.

00:37:32.140 You have people who remember you told them about this decades ago. We know he is handsy. You're not

00:37:40.680 asking for money. You've obviously struggled mightily with this. I still have to fight Trump.

00:37:45.720 So I still support Joe, but I believe you and I'm sorry. That is a stunning statement from the feminist 1.00

00:37:55.800 left. And it confirms everything we have said about them from the beginning, which is, this is not about

00:38:01.440 supporting women. This is not about the objective pursuit of truth. This is not about fighting

00:38:08.880 the oppressors and helping the oppressed or whatever language they use. This is about attacking

00:38:14.580 conservatives. This is about attacking our culture, which conservatives obviously want to conserve.

00:38:20.160 The Me Too movement has gone from believe all women in 2016 to now in 2020, believe all women and

00:38:31.540 elect their rapists. That's what she's saying. She's saying, I believe that Joe Biden is a sexual

00:38:38.880 assailant. I believe it. I believe everything you're claiming is true and I'm sorry, but I'm definitely 0.98

00:38:46.560 still going to vote for him. At least Lisa Bloom is honest. She's catching a lot of flack for this 0.59

00:38:52.740 because what she's saying is indefensible, but the whole feminist left is indefensible. 1.00

00:38:58.880 No, they just lie and they try to be hypocrites. At least, at least what Lisa Bloom is doing 0.99

00:39:04.120 is admitting what this is. Head of the Time's Up, you know, the Time's Up Me Too organization.

00:39:09.720 Head of Time's Up is defending Biden to disbelieving reads. Same thing with Deborah Messing,

00:39:13.500 the famous leftist actress. Same thing with Alyssa Milano. Some people are shocked by the double 1.00

00:39:17.760 standard. I am not. Okay. This was never about principles, not the Me Too movement, not feminism,

00:39:26.180 not any of the leftist social movements that we've seen over the last hundred years,

00:39:30.440 not any part of leftism. It's not about principles or standards. It's about you. It's about tearing you

00:39:38.600 down. It's about taking away your culture, taking away your country, taking away your traditions and 1.00

00:39:45.080 your rituals, your dialects that might pronounce rituals as rituals. You, everything that you cherish,

00:39:55.820 that you want to conserve. It's about tearing that down. It's about deconstruction, right? These are the

00:40:01.460 kind of words that you hear all the time from the left. Deconstruction, social constructs and

00:40:06.180 deconstruction, right? They want to rip it down. They don't like you. They don't like your culture.

00:40:12.540 They don't like your traditions. They don't like your history. They don't like your civilization.

00:40:15.480 They want to tear it down. If feminism will tear it down, they'll use feminism. If the hijab will 1.00

00:40:20.700 tear it down, they'll use the hijab, right? They'll use kind of Islamic identity politics. 0.99

00:40:25.560 Feminism and the hijab don't really go together. It doesn't matter. They'll use whichever one's 1.00

00:40:29.340 convenient. If gay identity politics will tear it down, they'll use that. If transgender identity 1.00

00:40:34.640 politics will tear it down, which totally undermine gay identity politics, right? The 1.00

00:40:39.460 whole idea of homosexual identity politics is we're born this way. There is such a thing as 0.80

00:40:44.160 biological sex. We're attracted to people of the same sex. Transgenderism says none of that's true.

00:40:48.880 There is no such thing as sex anyway. We can be, men can be women. Women can be men. It's 0.57

00:40:54.100 transphobic if you're not attracted to the people that I want you to be attracted to.

00:40:57.940 It doesn't matter. They'll use either one. And we're perpetually shocked that people like Linda

00:41:02.820 Sarsour, right? Islamists will hold hands with Gloria Steinem, leftist secular feminists at the 1.00

00:41:08.920 women's march. We say these two people don't have a lot in common, but yet they hold hands at the

00:41:13.180 women's march. They do have something in common. They have a common enemy and that's you and your 1.00

00:41:16.860 culture and your civilization. We're shocked that they believe Christine Blasey Ford, but not Tara

00:41:22.020 Reed. Why? It's not about any principle. Okay. It's just about tearing down the culture. It is

00:41:29.420 purely a politics of opposition. This is not even a conflict of visions for the culture. It's about

00:41:35.640 culture and it's about anti-culture and that's it. And we should be open-eyed to it and stop being

00:41:43.140 these naive little children who are perpetually shocked. And we say, yeah, but look at the

00:41:47.780 hypocrisy. They don't care about the hypocrisy. Point out the hypocrisy because it's important to 0.88

00:41:52.300 win over conservatives and moderates and independents. The left doesn't care. It was never about

00:41:57.740 principles. It was always about you. Speaking of people who are misunderstanding the political

00:42:05.460 moment, former president George W. Bush issued a whole message about how terrible the virus is.

00:42:11.320 And it's a feel good message. You know, we've got to be nice to everybody and this is a tough time,

00:42:16.460 but we'll get through it. Okay. That's fine. Most of it's unobjectionable.

00:42:20.360 Then he gets to his political advice in this moment. And this political advice was dead wrong.

00:42:26.520 Let's remember that the suffering we experience as a nation does not fall evenly. In the days to

00:42:33.800 come, it will be especially important to care in practical ways for the elderly, the ill, and the

00:42:39.880 unemployed. Finally, let us remember how small our differences are in the face of this shared

00:42:45.800 threat. In the final analysis, we are not partisan combatants. We are human beings, equally vulnerable

00:42:54.040 and equally wonderful in the sight of God. We rise or fall together and we are determined to rise.

00:43:03.360 God bless you all.

00:43:07.320 Okay. Basically an unobjectionable message, right? Except for the political advice he seems to be

00:43:15.380 giving here. He's saying by the final count, we're not just political opponents. Yeah, that's true.

00:43:19.860 Ultimately, my ultimate identity is not as a political opponent of somebody else,

00:43:24.020 but in this political moment, that is an important aspect of our character because the left doesn't

00:43:31.480 forget that they have a political agenda. But very often conservatives do forget that we have a

00:43:37.600 political agenda. The left has been telling us for 50 years, the personal is the political.

00:43:41.640 Everything is the political. And some conservatives, unfortunately, like former President Bush,

00:43:46.800 are trying to pretend that that is not the case. And a lot of the failings on the right during the

00:43:52.960 Bush era, I think, are attributable to this problem. This is a political moment. Right now,

00:43:58.780 the authoritarian hack politicians on the left are using the coronavirus as an opportunity to punish

00:44:06.500 their political opponents, to wield arbitrary political power without any reasoning left whatsoever,

00:44:13.580 and to cover their own political derriere with even more punitive measures. Okay? That is political.

00:44:21.700 And it is important for us as free citizens of this republic to use our political mechanisms at our

00:44:28.740 disposal to push back against that. This is political. It'd be really nice if we could just

00:44:33.500 kumbaya all the time. That is not how this is working at this moment. And conservatives who think that

00:44:38.500 that is the way forward, I think, are woefully misguided. Before we go, I've got to talk about

00:44:44.100 a conservative who was not ever woefully misguided. A conservative who is a real role model for people

00:44:53.260 today. And she's been in many ways written out of history. And now the left is trying to rewrite her

00:44:57.720 history when they put her back into history. That person is Phyllis Schlafly. Phyllis Schlafly. I had the

00:45:02.680 great privilege of attending a dinner with her shortly before she died. And so this was toward

00:45:08.420 the end of her life. And she gave a rousing, lucid, brilliant political speech there, as she always

00:45:15.980 did. Phyllis Schlafly, very, very prominent in the 1970s, fighting against the so-called Equal Rights 0.74

00:45:21.960 Amendment. The Equal Rights Amendment was this leftist nonsense that tried to redefine sex and gender to 0.57

00:45:29.920 say that there is no difference whatsoever between sex and what the equal right. There's actually a

00:45:34.520 new push right now to, to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. Uh, what it would do is, uh, in, in the

00:45:40.420 long run at the extreme, abolish things like same-sex schools because men and women wouldn't be treated

00:45:45.280 perfectly equally. It would abolish same-sex restrooms, which is already happening. People 1.00

00:45:50.260 mocked Phyllis Schlafly, said she was lying when she said that that would come to pass. It's already

00:45:54.360 happening, even without the ERA, said that women would be drafted. There's a big push again to do that 0.94

00:45:59.720 right now. Basically everything this woman predicted about politics has come true, even 1.00

00:46:04.500 though she did a great job slowing it down by stopping the Orwellian Equal Rights Amendment. 1.00

00:46:10.620 And so one, one of those brilliant women that has ever existed in American politics, 0.92

00:46:14.200 there's a new show, which I'm watching right now. It's generally a pretty good show,

00:46:17.900 but at crucial moments, they try to rewrite the history. I'll show you exactly how they do it.

00:46:22.740 Here's a clip. Uh, Phyllis Schlafly is debating some feminist from the ACLU, and this is a real debate.

00:46:28.040 These events are, you know, every scene in the show is based on real events, but then it gets

00:46:32.800 interpreted loosely. Here is how the TV show portrays this debate going down. I mean, the

00:46:38.880 courts would decide, as they did with a recent Washington DC case, where three children were

00:46:45.880 given to the father and the mother had to pay child support. What was the name of the case?

00:46:49.940 To say that was an advance for women. But the, the larger issue is that the ERA erodes the 0.99

00:46:55.780 institution of marriage. It's not just in divorce. Cite the case. The case? Well, I'd have to look

00:46:59.740 it up. But the point is... You don't know the name of the case? Well, there's so many cases. We don't

00:47:03.460 have time to cite them all. Just cite the one case. We don't have time to cite them all. Just name this

00:47:06.480 one case. The point is, if everything must be equal, then the logical extension of the ERA is that we

00:47:12.100 would have a gender-neutral society. You have scared the women of America into believing 1.00

00:47:14.940 something that is not based in reality. But when you argue an actual point in the real world,

00:47:19.660 in a court of law, you need to cite a case to support your arguments to cite the case.

00:47:26.960 Well, I think it was Foley versus Langham or Lancaster, something like that.

00:47:31.080 No, there is no such case. Oh, yes, there is. But you see... Did you just make up the case?

00:47:35.780 I'm not a lawyer. No. Oh, wow. What a... This Phyllis, she looks to her husband,

00:47:39.880 she doesn't know the answer. She is so dumb and deceptive because she's making up these 1.00

00:47:44.760 cases, right? Except, here's the problem. That never happened. That never, ever happened. 1.00

00:47:49.720 Didn't happen in that debate. That's a real debate. We can go back and watch the tape. You can find

00:47:53.280 the tape. The Phyllis Schlafly Eagles, actually, the organization to preserve her legacy, just did a

00:47:57.940 great video on this, comparing shot by shot throughout much of this show all of the ways that

00:48:03.100 they completely lie about history. So I go over, check that out on the Phyllis Schlafly Eagles page.

00:48:08.200 This moment did not happen, ever. Phyllis Schlafly never invented a case in this debate. She never

00:48:13.940 invented a case in any political debate. And actually, what happened in real life during

00:48:19.200 the debate is that moment that Phyllis got all flustered because the feminist got her on the 1.00

00:48:25.520 ropes. In reality, it was the exact opposite. It was this feminist who Phyllis was debating, 1.00

00:48:33.920 who was, contrary to the TV show, not confident, not particularly intelligent, not particularly good

00:48:40.200 on camera. It was she who made an obviously false claim and who got called out for it and who couldn't

00:48:46.380 answer it. Here's the reality. Many lending institutions count a woman's income only for

00:48:52.540 half of what it is if she is married and between the ages of 20 and 44 and cannot show that she has

00:48:58.440 been sterilized. Okay. That goes for banks, that goes for department stores.

00:49:04.260 Are you saying that they inquire if women are sterilized?

00:49:06.620 Absolutely.

00:49:07.280 There's any place that does that. There's any place that does that.

00:49:09.600 What I would like to...

00:49:10.580 You name one place that does that.

00:49:13.060 They do.

00:49:13.800 Just tell us to name one. Give me the name of one institution that does that.

00:49:16.780 Okay, because I'd like to continue. There's a bank in Queens. I'm not going to name the name of that.

00:49:20.500 No, you're not. I don't think there is. I've never heard of one.

00:49:23.360 Yeah, but this wouldn't be a plug. If there is any institution in this country that does that,

00:49:27.120 it then becomes a major news event, which if that is the case, I can guarantee you,

00:49:31.320 will be a front page story on even the New York Times.

00:49:33.520 Let me just lay it out. I mean, this is the trouble.

00:49:36.120 Why don't you just give us the name and address of that place?

00:49:38.560 Oh, it's exactly the opposite. It's even worse. They actually, this woman did even worse in the 1.00

00:49:44.000 moment than they're pretending that Phyllis Schlafly did because she just made up this policy at a 0.99

00:49:48.160 made up bank. She said, well, I'm not going to say the name. Why not? You're fighting for women's 1.00

00:49:51.340 rights. Why don't you name them? Isn't that the whole point of your movement? Well, no, I'm not.

00:49:54.620 I don't want to, no, I'm not going to name my boyfriend. He lives in Canada. No, I don't think,

00:49:58.820 uh-uh. No, and I don't think so. This is how they do it. This is what the left does. This is

00:50:03.280 what Hollywood does because no one, most people don't remember Phyllis Schlafly anyway, because

00:50:06.840 she's been written out of the history books. But now what people are going to remember is this TV

00:50:11.320 show. That's what they're going to remember. Or they're going to, how are they going to remember

00:50:15.160 JFK? They're going to remember Oliver Stone's movie, his anti-historical movie. This is what the

00:50:20.200 left does. We talked about, on a couple episodes ago, we talked about how all news is fake.

00:50:26.080 Now, all history is fake. By that, I mean some of it's true, but you really have to look with a

00:50:31.500 critical eye at all of these things because it's about you, okay? It's not about principle. It's not

00:50:39.900 about telling the truth. It's not about the objective pursuit of what really happened. It's

00:50:45.400 about tearing down a very particular culture, a very particular country, a very particular

00:50:48.980 civilization. And they will do that by any means necessary. And we need to be on guard

00:50:54.360 because that is being done in clear ways through political attacks that we see all the time,

00:51:00.100 through policies that governors are foisting on us every day. And it's being done in subtle

00:51:04.760 ways like the rewriting of news and the rewriting of history. But don't look for a principle.

00:51:09.600 Just look for who the intended victim is. Look for who the intended enemy is. That person,

00:51:16.160 I'm sorry to say, is you. All right, that's our show. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael

00:51:19.860 Knowles Show. I'll see you tomorrow.
