The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 548 - Calling Their Bluff

00:00:00.120 As pro-lockdown leftists get shriller in their calls to lock everyone at home from coast to coast,

00:00:06.600 everyone from cops to judges to ordinary people are wising up to the simplest way to stop them.

00:00:12.500 Call their bluff.

00:00:13.820 Just weeks after premising his own lockdown order on saving just one life,

00:00:18.300 New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is promising that lots of grannies are going to die. 0.95

00:00:22.860 What a difference two months and a lot of failed policies makes.

00:00:25.780 And the gaslighting Me Too movement is now pretending they never told us to believe all women.

00:00:32.740 Do they think that we don't have Google?

00:00:34.580 All that and more. I'm Michael Knowles and this is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:00:44.680 A lot of people calling their bluff in this country and I sure do love it.

00:00:49.140 You know, I am in Los Angeles in California, which is the most outrageous, overreaching city in the most outrageous, overreaching state in the entire country.

00:01:01.500 I mean, there are parts of New York that are opening up much more quickly than Los Angeles,

00:01:05.080 even though L.A. has practically no cases of coronavirus and obviously New York and other places have a lot more.

00:01:11.220 I can't tell if L.A. is just the complete outlier or not here.

00:01:15.140 It sure does feel like it out here in California.

00:01:19.220 Around the country, a lot of citizens are just saying, nah, we're not going to put up with it.

00:01:24.300 And guess what?

00:01:25.740 The powers that be are folding like a deck of cards.

00:01:29.500 We will get into all of that.

00:01:31.140 First, though, I have got to thank our friends over at NetSuite.

00:02:41.480 I just saw my favorite video that I've seen on the internet in many, many weeks.

00:02:47.260 This comes out of Camden, New Jersey.

00:02:49.640 So the Democratic governor of New Jersey, Phil Murphy, is pushing pretty heavy, draconian lockdown measures.

00:02:58.340 Not just reasonable measures to allow people to protect their own public health, but the really onerous measures here.

00:03:07.340 And the people of Camden just don't want to hear it anymore.

00:03:10.100 So they decide they're going to start reopening.

00:03:14.520 The cops get called to the reopening.

00:03:17.240 And we're not, by the way, they're not reopening businesses like at 100% right away.

00:03:21.680 There was a gym in Camden that opened at just 20% capacity.

00:03:26.400 And they had a bunch of other extra coronavirus precautions in place.

00:03:29.860 They had fever checks at this gym.

00:03:31.700 You want to go work out, you got to get your temperature taken before you, you walk in.

00:03:35.560 So these people are being very cautious, very responsible.

00:03:38.980 Still, the cops get called to the gym to shut it down. 0.86

00:03:43.120 But one cop wasn't having it.

00:03:44.880 You know, there's a big crowd of people around at the gym.

00:03:47.220 And the cop walked up.

00:03:48.640 He said, technically, you're all in violation of the law.

00:03:52.040 But have a nice day.

00:03:53.640 We are and we're only here for everybody's safety today.

00:03:57.640 We plan for the worst, hope for the best.

00:03:59.800 And it seems like that's what we have out here today.

00:04:02.140 Yeah.

00:04:03.860 Normally, you are all in violation of the executive order.

00:04:07.660 On that note, on that note, have a good day.

00:04:12.240 Everybody be safe.

00:04:12.940 Thank you.

00:04:16.220 I love this guy.

00:04:17.900 We need to get this cop a Medal of Freedom.

00:04:21.180 This is such the right attitude.

00:04:24.060 A lot of our system of government is premised on the idea that various branches, various

00:04:29.440 departments, various levels will push back on the others and we will avoid tyranny because

00:04:34.260 everybody's got these sort of more local interests, a different understanding of different

00:04:39.600 communities.

00:04:40.060 And so you can you can push back on things.

00:04:42.280 And that's exactly what this cop did.

00:04:44.700 Absolutely terrific stuff.

00:04:46.440 You see in California, these ridiculous cops chasing a paddleboarder around in the middle

00:04:53.700 of the ocean.

00:04:54.980 Paddleboarders not near anybody and the cops are trying to chase him down on boards and

00:04:58.800 boats and things like that.

00:05:00.600 Obviously absurd.

00:05:01.820 In New Jersey, the cop walks up and goes, look, everybody's being very safe.

00:05:04.980 You've got masks on.

00:05:05.820 You're at 20%.

00:05:06.460 You're taking people's temperatures.

00:05:09.440 You couldn't possibly be more responsible.

00:05:11.040 Technically, you're in violation of this dumb law, but have a nice day.

00:05:16.340 The governor of New Jersey didn't like that much.

00:05:18.760 Murphy said, quote, I'm not concerned.

00:05:21.900 It will spiral out of control and we will take action.

00:05:25.080 If you show up at that gym again tomorrow, there's going to be a different reality than

00:05:30.120 showing up today.

00:05:31.380 These aren't just words.

00:05:33.020 We've got to enforce this.

00:05:34.500 But I also don't want to start World War III.

00:05:37.080 Okay.

00:05:37.720 All right, pal.

00:05:39.680 I think your threats are a little bit empty because what the, what this cop showed, what

00:05:45.760 those people who were protesting the lockdown showed is that, especially in a democratic

00:05:50.980 republic, the politicians can't lead people where they don't want to go.

00:05:54.280 And there's a whole lot of bluster and there's a whole lot of power grabbing going on.

00:05:58.760 But ultimately, these politicians are still in many ways accountable to the people.

00:06:04.020 Look at the phrasing that the governor uses.

00:06:06.440 It's going to be different tomorrow.

00:06:08.600 These aren't just words.

00:06:10.500 It's not that he's worried about protecting public health.

00:06:14.240 It's that he's worried about losing credibility.

00:06:16.660 And I think that's true for a lot of the overreaching politicians here.

00:06:19.900 All of their predictions have not come true.

00:06:22.440 We haven't come close to overwhelming the healthcare system.

00:06:26.240 We've, we've social distance.

00:06:28.460 We've done all these policies virtually perfectly and the prediction models haven't come true

00:06:35.460 and there's no end to them in sight.

00:06:38.160 All right.

00:06:38.800 We, the people have upheld our end of the bargain.

00:06:41.160 Remember 15 days to slow the spread.

00:06:42.780 We did it.

00:06:43.640 We did it.

00:06:44.100 We stayed at home.

00:06:44.780 We, we abided by these policies, right?

00:06:46.760 And yet day by day, it seems clearer and clearer that the policies have had very little, if any

00:06:52.660 effect at all.

00:06:53.880 And day by day, it's clearer and clearer that the timetable that we were told we had to use

00:06:59.480 these policies is being extended constantly.

00:07:02.200 We held up our end of the bargain.

00:07:03.800 The politicians and the lab coat dictators did not hold up their end of the bargain. 0.55

00:07:08.580 We, the people who predicted that, hmm, maybe this isn't going to turn out the way the doomsdayers

00:07:13.740 are saying it will.

00:07:14.400 We, the people who were a little bit skeptical about this whole thing, turned out to be right.

00:07:18.940 And the lab coat hysterics and the politicians who insisted to outsource our entire politics

00:07:25.560 to them turned out to be wrong.

00:07:27.180 And now we've had enough.

00:07:28.740 So we're going to push back.

00:07:29.960 And you know what those guys are going to do in their state capitals and in their lab coats?

00:07:34.140 They're going to do absolutely nothing about it because ultimately they don't have nearly

00:07:38.680 as much power as they want to pretend that they do.

00:07:41.080 But this is happening in New Jersey.

00:07:44.600 This is happening on the other coast in California.

00:07:47.740 Last Friday, a great town in California, Outwater, California, voted to declare itself a sanctuary

00:07:55.160 city for businesses.

00:07:57.380 You know, in California, we have a lot of sanctuary cities for illegal aliens who violate some of

00:08:01.540 our most basic laws, very just laws, very, the key aspects of our constitution, the idea

00:08:09.220 that we, the people can decide who comes and goes out of our states and out of our country.

00:08:14.060 So we have those kinds of sanctuary cities here, but apparently we're not allowed to

00:08:18.140 have sanctuary cities for people who want to be able to leave their homes and have an

00:08:21.780 economy that you're not allowed to do.

00:08:24.680 So anyway, Outwater city council votes for this.

00:08:27.620 They vote to quote, affirm the city's commitment to fundamental constitutional rights.

00:08:32.500 If we can permit city, and you know, one defense of sanctuary cities, I can't believe I'm making

00:08:38.000 a defense of sanctuary cities, but it is this aspect of the federal system that you have

00:08:42.660 the local arguing with the state, arguing at the federal, and in those disagreements and

00:08:47.360 in those power struggles, our political traditions and institutions and privileges and rights are

00:08:54.020 protected.

00:08:54.420 So I kind of get it.

00:08:57.340 I still think the sanctuary cities should be defunded.

00:09:00.340 They're still immoral.

00:09:01.940 They're still wrong.

00:09:02.760 They're still illegal.

00:09:03.780 But I understand why that tension can be helpful.

00:09:07.800 So if it can be helpful on a clear cut issue, clearly wrong issue, such as illegal immigration,

00:09:14.600 surely we can apply it to protecting our most basic constitutional rights.

00:09:19.540 The ability to leave our home, the ability to have an economy, these are rights that we

00:09:24.780 were, we were willing to go along with people in the spirit of solidarity and pandemic and

00:09:29.540 police powers, but that has draw dragged on way past its usefulness and nobody, least of

00:09:36.820 all the people enforcing it and the lab coat dictators that they're giving their politics 0.97

00:09:40.940 to can explain to us what the whole point is.

00:09:43.640 So you've got great moves from the cops in Camden, New Jersey.

00:09:47.960 You've got great moves from Atwater, California.

00:09:51.820 Even President Trump himself is calling the left's bluff.

00:09:56.640 He made this stunning announcement.

00:09:59.000 It shocked and scandalized the press corps and the left because he is showing us exactly

00:10:06.160 what we should be doing in our rebuffs against the scientific dictators and against the left.

00:10:12.960 We'll get to that in a second.

00:10:13.620 First though, I've got to thank our friends over at Honey.

00:10:17.960 I've been using Honey for longer than there's been a Michael Knowles show.

00:10:22.140 I've been using Honey for longer than there's been a Daily Wire.

00:10:25.280 You know, when you go online and you're shopping on the internet, which I guess we're all doing

00:10:29.860 all the time now, it's very difficult to search for coupon codes because you, maybe you go,

00:10:34.780 you find a coupon code, then you go back.

00:10:36.040 It doesn't work.

00:10:36.540 That's okay.

00:10:36.960 Then you got to go back.

00:10:37.680 And you can spend 20 minutes, 25 minutes trying to do this or more.

00:10:41.460 With Honey, the coupons and savings come to you.

00:10:43.520 Honey is a free online shopping tool that saves you money online.

00:10:46.440 It automatically finds the best promo codes and applies them to your cart, which makes

00:10:51.340 online shopping finally feel as easy as it's supposed to be.

00:10:55.320 I use this for everything.

00:10:56.500 I use this when I buy flowers.

00:10:57.680 I use this when I buy books.

00:10:58.800 I use this when I buy clothing.

00:11:00.440 I mean, I can't remember the last time I didn't use Honey.

00:11:05.060 And sometimes even if they can't get you a promo code, that gets you some bonus points

00:11:08.560 a little bit back.

00:11:09.340 It's just amazing.

00:11:10.240 I mean, I think the last time I saved 25 bucks, the last time I used it.

00:11:13.040 And that's a regular occurrence.

00:11:15.480 So not using Honey is literally passing up on free money.

00:11:19.280 It's free to use.

00:11:20.600 It installs in just a few seconds.

00:11:21.980 Plus, it's backed by PayPal.

00:11:23.360 So you know you can trust it.

00:11:24.300 Get Honey for free at joinhoney.com slash Knowles.

00:11:27.500 That is joinhoney.com slash Knowles.

00:11:30.940 K-N-O-W-L-E-S. 1.00

00:11:32.520 Trump himself calling the left's bluff.

00:11:36.800 And he's doing it specifically on this issue of hydroxychloroquine.

00:11:41.460 You remember hydroxychloroquine is this anti-malarial drug that has shown promise early on in treating

00:11:47.480 coronavirus.

00:11:50.000 Trump mentioned this.

00:11:51.860 And then because Trump mentioned it, the left had to come out and say hydroxychloroquine

00:11:55.560 is terrible.

00:11:56.560 And then there's some study that shows that it's not terribly effective, even though we

00:11:59.680 have so little information right now, that it's very difficult to trust these things,

00:12:04.500 especially when the lab coat modelers have been so wrong about every other aspect of this

00:12:10.200 illness.

00:12:10.980 So hydroxychloroquine, it's been around for a long time.

00:12:13.840 And President Trump mentions offhandedly in a press briefing yesterday that, as a matter

00:12:19.040 of fact, he is taking the drug himself to stave off the coronavirus.

00:12:25.380 You'd be surprised at how many people are taking it, especially the frontline workers.

00:12:29.500 Before you catch it, the frontline workers, many, many are taking it.

00:12:34.980 I happen to be taking it.

00:12:36.720 I happen to be taking it.

00:12:39.280 Hydroxychloroquine?

00:12:39.740 I'm taking it.

00:12:41.160 Hydroxychloroquine.

00:12:42.160 When?

00:12:42.600 Right now, yeah.

00:12:43.480 Yeah, when?

00:12:44.360 A couple of weeks ago, I started taking it.

00:12:46.580 Yeah, I've heard.

00:12:47.180 Because I think it's good.

00:12:48.040 I've heard a lot of good stories.

00:12:49.600 And if it's not good, I'll tell you right.

00:12:52.240 I'm not going to get hurt by it.

00:12:53.580 But it's been around for 40 years for malaria, for lupus, for other things.

00:12:58.400 I take it.

00:12:59.280 Frontline workers take it.

00:13:00.520 A lot of doctors take it.

00:13:01.760 Excuse me.

00:13:02.400 A lot of doctors take it.

00:13:03.720 I take it.

00:13:05.300 Now, I hope to not be able to take it soon because, you know, I hope they come up with

00:13:09.260 some answer.

00:13:10.300 But I think people should be allowed to.

00:13:11.900 This is exactly how to push back against the media and the overreaching leftist politicians.

00:13:19.100 Now, I'm not saying the way to do it is to take hydroxychloroquine.

00:13:22.440 I should differentiate between those things.

00:13:25.420 I'm saying the way to push back is to go directly at their claims and with responsibility and with

00:13:30.840 precaution, flout those claims, the alarmism from the left.

00:13:35.360 And in this case, the way Trump is doing it is with this particular drug, hydroxychloroquine.

00:13:39.140 But because he comes out and says, look, we obviously don't have a vaccine for this.

00:13:42.100 We might never have a vaccine.

00:13:43.500 But there is this one drug.

00:13:44.720 It seems to be somewhat effective.

00:13:47.160 Doctors are saying that it's helped to cure patients.

00:13:49.120 Some patients say it saved their lives.

00:13:50.640 They were on debt store.

00:13:51.720 They took this drug and then all of a sudden it was great.

00:13:53.560 So, you know, maybe it's a good drug.

00:13:55.520 Maybe we should try it out.

00:13:56.680 And then simply because he said that, the left said, oh, this drug, it's going to kill everybody.

00:14:00.280 It's unproven.

00:14:01.380 The drug's not unproven.

00:14:02.500 We've been using it to treat malaria for well over 40 years.

00:14:05.600 But the left doesn't care about that.

00:14:07.620 They just have to contradict whatever he's saying.

00:14:10.060 So then he, he's so stubborn.

00:14:12.640 Like he's so ready to just smack down whatever they're throwing at him.

00:14:18.820 But he says, oh yeah, I'm taking the drug.

00:14:21.140 I'm taking, you want it.

00:14:22.360 The proof of the pudding is in the tasting.

00:14:23.960 Okay.

00:14:24.680 You're, the media are trying to create this hysteria to say that the drug is killing people

00:14:30.100 left and right.

00:14:30.680 Trump's a maniac.

00:14:31.320 He's got blood on his hands.

00:14:32.220 He goes, okay, well, guess what?

00:14:34.020 I'm taking it myself and look at me.

00:14:36.160 I'm fine.

00:14:37.940 He's doing fine.

00:14:40.180 The headlines yesterday, you, you would have thought this was the craziest thing.

00:14:43.340 You would have thought Trump is, you know, going to a back alley by an, by Androxy, you

00:14:48.080 know, and then chopping it up with a credit card and blowing lines in the White House rather

00:14:51.800 than what actually happened, which is that this was obviously prescribed to him by a doctor,

00:14:56.240 not just any doctor, the White House doctor.

00:14:58.460 He's got the best scientific experts in the world around him right now.

00:15:02.680 He's got Dr. Fauci.

00:15:04.000 He's got Dr. Birx.

00:15:05.100 He's got Mike Pence in a lab coat.

00:15:06.660 He's got big experts.

00:15:08.340 Okay.

00:15:09.160 And is, is it going to kill him?

00:15:13.100 I hope not.

00:15:14.160 I don't, I don't think so though.

00:15:15.600 You know, something tells me that if it were, first of all, we would know about it.

00:15:20.500 And two, they wouldn't have prescribed it for him.

00:15:24.260 He's, I really like when Trump does this.

00:15:26.280 He's leading by example.

00:15:28.440 So Trump, you know, he's taking this drug.

00:15:31.520 I don't know whether the drug is going to be effective or not.

00:15:33.260 I don't know if it's going to harm him.

00:15:35.080 I suppose if it does, they'll probably take him off the drug.

00:15:37.160 Some people though were really scandalized by this, including the great Neil Cavuto.

00:15:40.960 I love Neil Cavuto on Fox, but he, he took a moment and said, hold on, don't, don't try

00:15:46.520 this at home, kids.

00:15:47.880 Those who took it in a vulnerable population, including those with respiratory or other conditions,

00:15:52.960 they died.

00:15:53.700 I want to stress again, they died.

00:15:56.980 If you are in a risky population here and you are taking this as a preventative treatment

00:16:02.720 to ward off the virus, or in a worst case scenario, you are dealing with the virus and you are

00:16:08.440 in this vulnerable population, it will kill you.

00:16:11.760 I cannot stress enough.

00:16:13.280 This will kill you.

00:16:15.640 So again, whatever benefits the president says this has, and certainly has had for those suffering

00:16:20.700 for malaria, dealing with lupus, this is a leap that, that should not be taken casually

00:16:25.600 by those watching at home or assuming, well, the president of the United States says it's

00:16:29.660 okay.

00:16:30.780 Sure.

00:16:31.180 It shouldn't be taken casually, but nobody should be prescribing themselves drugs in the

00:16:35.660 first place.

00:16:36.940 You know, I mean, I, I see the point that Neil Cavuto is making.

00:16:40.440 He's saying, Hey guys, don't just go out and start stuffing your faces with hydroxychloroquine.

00:16:44.540 Fair enough.

00:16:45.600 Nobody would disagree with him there, but I just don't think that's exactly what people

00:16:49.240 are doing.

00:16:49.720 The one story that, that the left-wing media was able to find on this was that woman who 0.99

00:16:54.900 fed her husband fish tank cleaner.

00:16:57.780 And the more and more you read about that story, it sounds a lot like she murdered him.

00:17:01.340 So I don't know.

00:17:02.000 I think there's an investigation going on right now.

00:17:04.120 So this just doesn't seem to be a big scourge.

00:17:06.460 Of course, talk to your doctor before you take any medication, ask your doctor for a prescription.

00:17:12.180 But I mean, that, that is the claim here, right?

00:17:16.200 The, the left is saying you, you will, well, the left and Neil Cavuto, I guess in this case

00:17:20.380 saying you will die if you take this.

00:17:22.940 And president Trump is saying, well, I guess we'll find out.

00:17:26.060 It might be, it might be a reckless thing to do, but that is the kind of fearlessness

00:17:30.540 that you're seeing from the president.

00:17:32.340 Not, not just on the medical front, but much more importantly than that on the media front,

00:17:36.940 Nancy Pelosi was none too happy about this. 0.69

00:17:40.040 Nancy Pelosi came out and not only said that it was terrible of Trump to take the hydroxychloroquine,

00:17:47.100 she also called him fat.

00:17:48.500 As far as the president is concerned, the, our, he's our president and I would rather he

00:17:55.500 not be taking something that has not been approved by the scientists, especially in his age group

00:18:02.560 and in his, shall we say, weight group had, but he's morbidly obese, they say.

00:18:08.180 So I, I, I, I think it was, it's not a good idea.

00:18:12.620 This is the most transparent concern trolling ever.

00:18:17.460 I mean, as though we're supposed to believe that the Democrats who called Donald Trump a

00:18:22.640 Nazi, fascist, racist, bigot threat to humanity on earth, he's going to, he's going to kill

00:18:30.700 us all, whether through his response to the pandemic or through global warming or, or by

00:18:36.820 simply shocking and offending everybody to death, that they're really seriously concerned

00:18:41.640 that he might have an adverse side effect from this medicine.

00:18:44.340 I don't think so.

00:18:45.400 And then right afterwards, she calls him fat.

00:18:48.720 She body shames the president. 1.00

00:18:50.340 I thought we were told we can't body shame people.

00:18:51.900 Imagine if, if a right winger said this sort of thing about a democratic politician, maybe

00:19:00.020 prominent democratic politicians that are around today, obviously won't name any names.

00:19:06.120 There would be an uproar, it'd be so offensive, it'd be terrible.

00:19:09.860 And yet for Trump, there's nothing you can't say about this guy.

00:19:12.740 There's nothing too vile and disgusting to say, say about this guy, uh, that, that you

00:19:17.860 won't get credit for.

00:19:19.180 So Democrats have very little to say on this topic.

00:19:24.000 Nothing that they've predicted has come true.

00:19:26.860 Nothing that they've enacted has done any good.

00:19:29.380 Even the lockdowns, I can't stress this point enough.

00:19:32.940 There's no evidence that the lockdowns have saved one single life.

00:19:38.720 The point of the lockdown is to spread out, flatten the curve, spread out the number of

00:19:45.120 cases so as not to overwhelm the hospital system.

00:19:47.700 We never came close to overwhelming the hospital system.

00:19:50.460 We had the Javits Center Hospital empty in New York.

00:19:52.740 We had that hospital ship empty in New York.

00:19:54.900 Okay.

00:19:55.600 Never came close.

00:19:56.560 The only other reason for the lockdowns is to buy time for a vaccine, which is nowhere in

00:20:02.620 sight.

00:20:04.020 They had some very promising vaccine in the, in the UK.

00:20:08.460 And then that, that fizzled.

00:20:09.900 It looks like it's not very promising at all.

00:20:11.800 There are lots of viruses, lots of ailments that we don't have cures for, right?

00:20:17.720 So no reason to say that we'll, we'll be able to get one.

00:20:21.100 And, and even if we were in a year or 18 months, are we really going to lock down our entire

00:20:25.940 society until then?

00:20:27.080 What would be the effect of that?

00:20:29.000 They've got nothing on it, right?

00:20:30.880 So now they start changing their tune with even just the littlest pushback.

00:20:36.040 You remember a few weeks ago, Andrew Cuomo, the great hero of coronavirus, what a great

00:20:41.760 leader.

00:20:42.500 He should be the new democratic nominee.

00:20:44.760 Nevermind that he's been the most incompetent governor in the entire country on this issue.

00:20:49.500 Nevermind that his state is doing the worst on this issue.

00:20:52.660 And yet for some reason they're saying that's evidence that, that the leader of that state

00:20:56.340 needs to be elevated and get a, get a promotion.

00:20:58.980 Nevermind that very specific policies undertaken by Andrew Cuomo have killed people.

00:21:07.460 Nevermind any of that.

00:21:09.500 Andrew Cuomo said, you know, if all that they do saves even one life, then it will have all

00:21:15.020 been worth it.

00:21:15.540 That was a few weeks ago.

00:21:16.560 Today, Andrew Cuomo is saying at a press conference, a lot of grannies are going to die. 0.99

00:21:22.760 Here he is.

00:21:23.160 They're looking for accountability and they feel that they were failed.

00:21:26.720 What's, what's the comment to that?

00:21:28.680 Yeah, the comment is this.

00:21:30.180 And I have those conversations all day long with people who have lost people, right?

00:21:34.260 We lost 139 people yesterday in hospitals.

00:21:40.300 Who is accountable for those 139 deaths?

00:21:45.580 Well, how do we get justice for those families who had 139 deaths?

00:21:50.520 What is justice?

00:21:52.440 Who can we prosecute for those deaths?

00:21:56.480 Nobody.

00:21:58.300 Nobody.

00:21:59.720 Mother Nature, God.

00:22:02.580 Where did this virus come from?

00:22:04.820 People are going to die by this virus.

00:22:08.540 That is the truth.

00:22:10.040 Older people, vulnerable people are going to die from this virus.

00:22:15.860 That is going to happen.

00:22:20.060 Okay.

00:22:20.640 Well, that's a, it's a little different tune than we were hearing a few weeks ago, isn't

00:22:25.860 it?

00:22:28.140 If everything we do saves even one life, it will be worth it.

00:22:31.880 Older people are going to die. 1.00

00:22:34.580 They're going to die.

00:22:36.440 Can't get around death.

00:22:37.680 Well, isn't that the point we were making?

00:22:39.120 Isn't the point we were making that mortality is a fact.

00:22:41.880 In epidemics, mortality is an even more urgent fact and you can't always stop that.

00:22:49.200 You can't always even slow it down and the policies that you undertake might have negative

00:22:53.400 consequences, might kill more people, might damage society, might damage their lives.

00:22:57.240 That was the point we were making and then you demagogued the issue and said that we wanted

00:23:02.180 to kill granny and we had blood on our hands and we were heartless and only you cared about 0.92

00:23:07.480 saving even one life.

00:23:08.720 And, but now you're telling us that a lot of grannies are going to die. 0.99

00:23:11.660 I also love the way he opens up the clip.

00:23:14.500 Who can be blamed for all these deaths?

00:23:18.420 What is justice?

00:23:20.340 Wow.

00:23:20.600 Really poetical stuff, Governor Cuomo.

00:23:22.980 You actually, for some of them, at least you, you can be blamed for some of those deaths

00:23:26.660 because just to quote one policy, you took sick people and put them into nursing homes

00:23:32.120 during the lockdown.

00:23:33.700 And when you take sick people and you put them into nursing homes, thousands and thousands

00:23:38.740 of people die because the virus, it's, this isn't, this isn't brain surgery.

00:23:42.560 You don't need to be the exalted Dr. Fauci, his eminence, the smartest man in the world

00:23:46.700 to realize that when you take people who are sick with a highly contagious virus and then

00:23:53.640 you put them with the most vulnerable population for that virus, then more people are going to

00:23:59.040 die.

00:23:59.320 And yet that's exactly what Andrew Cuomo did.

00:24:00.980 He's catching a lot of heat for it right now.

00:24:03.060 And so all of a sudden he's deflecting all responsibility whatsoever.

00:24:07.700 Even though a few weeks ago, he said his policies were going to have a real effect there.

00:24:12.240 You know, if they save one life, they're all worth it.

00:24:13.820 Well, what happens if they accidentally kill thousands of people?

00:24:17.120 No, we can't be held responsible.

00:24:19.800 Some people are going to die.

00:24:21.200 Yeah, right.

00:24:21.700 You probably should have listened to this podcast and many other shows, many, many other people

00:24:25.940 on the right earlier on rather than just try to vilify all of us as being callous and uncaring

00:24:32.440 about human life and ready to throw granny off a cliff because none of that happened. 0.94

00:24:38.320 Just push back on them.

00:24:40.080 They will fold.

00:24:40.980 They are folding.

00:24:41.700 I was down in San Diego last weekend, down there visiting some friends and we go out

00:24:49.180 for a little walk on the street.

00:24:51.540 There are people out milling about.

00:24:52.920 So I'm walking, just a few of us, you know, walking down a sidewalk and some woman, some

00:24:58.080 Karen, this is the, this is the new term Karen or one of these sort of women, generally, 1.00

00:25:03.500 I guess, white women who yell at everybody and tell everybody what to do and, you know, 1.00

00:25:08.200 make a big nuisance.

00:25:10.520 This woman who would fit the description of a Karen is walking down the street, walking 1.00

00:25:14.480 her dog.

00:25:15.580 I don't have a mask on.

00:25:16.720 She doesn't have a mask on.

00:25:18.740 And she starts yelling at us. 0.69

00:25:21.520 She says, what, what are you doing?

00:25:22.640 What, I, what, how am I, but what are you, what are you talking about?

00:25:26.680 Well, what, why, what are you, why are you walking?

00:25:29.280 You can't walk there.

00:25:30.740 I said, where would you like us to walk?

00:25:33.440 I don't know.

00:25:33.980 Away from me.

00:25:34.940 And she's kind of coming down.

00:25:36.080 Meanwhile, she's doing exactly the same thing that we're doing on the sidewalk.

00:25:38.920 I guess she just owns the sidewalk. 0.98

00:25:40.360 It's, it is offensive to her that anybody should be, should be out at all because, you

00:25:46.360 know, human or her fellow human beings, her fellow citizens are nothing but carriers of 1.00

00:25:50.380 this disease and pestilence.

00:25:52.080 She, she actually sort of like jumps off of the sidewalk as she's yelling at us with her 1.00

00:25:56.240 two dogs so that she doesn't get infected by us.

00:25:59.480 Now, what would have happened if she'd walked right by us in the fresh air, in the sunshine

00:26:03.060 with no mask on?

00:26:03.860 You know what would have happened?

00:26:04.820 Nothing, nothing at all would have happened.

00:26:07.040 She would have been fine.

00:26:08.560 I guess we still would have had that unpleasant interaction, but would have been absolutely

00:26:13.320 fine.

00:26:14.700 And this, this woman I saw in, in San Diego was not the only one who was doing this.

00:26:21.360 There's a, a Karen who's gotten very, very famous around the country.

00:26:24.240 We will get to her in one second. 0.90

00:27:42.680 So my Karen in San Diego was not the only Karen around.

00:27:46.880 Here is a woman walking around a beach yelling at people for not having masks on.

00:27:52.480 At the beach.

00:27:53.600 Oh my God, not one person with a mask on.

00:27:56.440 Everybody is here and nobody.

00:27:58.740 Yeah, oh my God, that's what I'm saying.

00:28:00.400 Oh my God.

00:28:01.720 Look at all those people.

00:28:03.160 There's like 20.

00:28:04.300 What the heck?

00:28:05.480 What are we doing to you people?

00:28:07.740 Hi, I'm Rebecca Brown and I'm flipping out because Governor Newsom announced that this Friday

00:28:11.740 we are no longer going to be on total lockdown.

00:28:14.860 We're opening back up.

00:28:16.160 I'm flipping out because people haven't been wearing masks and this is going to be even

00:28:20.180 more loosey-goosey than ever before.

00:28:22.540 I think it's all going to go downhill from this point on.

00:28:25.960 So I couldn't tell if this was a joke or not when I saw it.

00:28:29.660 When I initially saw this, I thought, okay, this one's got to be a parody or something of

00:28:33.800 all these people who have become so hysterical that they would want you to wear a giant mask

00:28:38.740 even when you're on the beach in the sunshine, far, far away from people.

00:28:43.540 And then I met that woman in San Diego and I realized, no, some people are really, really

00:28:47.940 hysterical about this.

00:28:49.280 The way to push back against, I talked to friends of mine, relatives of mine who have

00:28:53.860 been locked indoors this whole time.

00:28:55.680 They really have barely gone outside, even though they're not particularly vulnerable,

00:28:59.520 even though they're not really in the at-risk population.

00:29:02.440 And they've done it because of the doomsday models, because of the people in the media

00:29:08.140 and in elected office and the experts in the lab coats who've told them that they're going

00:29:12.740 to die if they walk outside.

00:29:13.940 I understand why some people feel that kind of fear.

00:29:17.540 I mean, the entire liberal apparatus has done everything they can to gin up that fear.

00:29:21.860 The best way to deflate that kind of alarmism, just act normal, keep calm and carry on.

00:29:31.260 You know, they're going to try to shut down your gym, even at 20% capacity, even with the

00:29:35.880 fever guns, even with the masks.

00:29:38.480 Just open the gym, just go to gym, just work out.

00:29:41.220 They're going to tell you that any, if you get the virus, you're going to die.

00:29:46.140 And if you take the medicine for the virus, you're going to die.

00:29:48.640 Well, maybe the president of the United States can lead the way and say, look, my doctor prescribed

00:29:53.160 me this medicine and I'm not dying.

00:29:54.840 Doesn't mean you should all go out and do this drug immediately, but it does mean that

00:29:59.340 this situation is not as deadly and dire and catastrophic as all of the so-called experts

00:30:06.680 told us was for weeks and weeks.

00:30:09.180 Just go out when you're, when you're walking by somebody on a beach, just don't, don't have

00:30:12.660 the mask on on the beach.

00:30:14.080 Be responsible, be respectful, but don't indulge the fantasies and delusions and power grabs

00:30:23.220 of people who have been wrong this entire time.

00:30:26.960 A lot more to get to, we've got to get to one of the negative effects of the virus.

00:30:30.380 We've got to get to the coronavirus class divide and we've got to get to how the left

00:30:34.520 dumped Believe All Women, because now this is getting really Orwellian. 0.62

00:30:39.500 We're being told by the New York Times that Believe All Women is a right-wing trap. 0.96

00:30:45.640 News to me, the Me Too movement is a super secret 4D chess level right-wing trap.

00:30:52.420 Oh my gosh, Kavanaugh.

00:30:54.320 Kavanaugh was actually behind it the whole time.

00:30:56.220 We just, what a great trick we played.

00:30:58.800 First though, I've got to thank you.

00:31:26.080 Do I have a second?

00:31:26.620 I do have a second.

00:31:27.940 Wow, look at this.

00:31:29.380 Look at this.

00:31:31.100 Maybe we'll do the Karen edition and get three Tumblrs.

00:31:33.380 I don't know.

00:31:33.680 That would be too crazy.

00:31:34.560 We have two Tumblrs right now, but that's for All Access.

00:31:48.880 See you there.

00:31:49.400 We'll be right back with a lot more.

00:31:50.540 Every day, the unintended negative consequences of this lockdown become clearer and clearer,

00:32:09.300 one of which is so ironic.

00:32:12.060 We're told that we need to all stay in place and not do anything until we find a vaccine,

00:32:16.120 which might be an imaginary vaccine because there are plenty of illnesses that we don't

00:32:20.320 have vaccines for.

00:32:21.740 And there's no evidence that we're ever going to get one for the coronavirus, right?

00:32:25.380 So we're all, we have to stay in place until we get the vaccine.

00:32:27.900 The vaccine is the most important thing.

00:32:29.920 Well, do you know one of the consequences of us waiting and waiting on this vaccine?

00:32:33.580 Kids aren't getting their vaccines.

00:32:37.160 Because we're waiting on an imaginary vaccine, kids are not getting the vaccines for the real

00:32:42.320 things right now.

00:32:43.740 The number of childhood vaccines administered in Michigan, this is according to a report that

00:32:48.360 was released by the CDC, has dropped by as much as 22% amid the coronavirus pandemic.

00:32:59.040 Obviously, there are a lot of other things that are going on right now too.

00:33:02.240 Things that, you know, I guess you would call elective, I guess you'd call these vaccines

00:33:07.360 elective, that normally would be taking place or not taking place.

00:33:11.500 So our, a real life healthcare apparatus that we've built up over a hundred, 200 years, that

00:33:20.320 is being neglected for the imaginary healthcare apparatus of a completely empty Javits Center

00:33:26.320 in New York and of a vaccine that doesn't exist yet.

00:33:31.140 And of the healthcare workers who are being laid off right now, they're being furloughed because

00:33:35.860 everything else has been shut down.

00:33:38.700 There's a real, real irony to that, of course, an irony that I think the left is beginning

00:33:45.380 to see, right?

00:33:47.000 Cuomo is, is now changing his tune, obviously.

00:33:50.440 And yet, even though the left can now see they were wrong about everything, they double

00:33:55.720 down.

00:33:56.140 It's, it's like that governor in New Jersey.

00:33:58.320 He says, these aren't just words.

00:34:00.300 We're going to come back tomorrow.

00:34:01.840 I'm serious.

00:34:02.540 You better not stop us tomorrow.

00:34:03.800 They feel threatened.

00:34:05.340 They feel defensive because, because everything has gone so haywire and people are no longer

00:34:10.820 listening to them.

00:34:12.020 That's fine.

00:34:12.740 I think the politicians right now are completely on the ropes.

00:34:15.620 I think we need to keep absolutely pummeling them with these facts, with these observations

00:34:19.800 about what is going on as a result of the lockdowns.

00:34:24.340 And then most importantly, we need to ignore them.

00:34:26.860 I mean, even the Marxists can get behind reopening.

00:34:32.020 Even the Bernie bros are starting to get behind reopening.

00:34:35.420 There's this sort of irony with the, the lockdown that I, I haven't heard other people talking

00:34:41.720 about, but I think it's actually exacerbating a lot of tensions going on right now, which

00:34:46.360 is that the lockdown is seriously exacerbating class divides.

00:34:51.200 You know, I, I don't usually talk in terms of these, this kind of Marxist view of the world of

00:34:56.240 the class struggle and all of that.

00:34:57.800 I don't think that's really the most important way to view the world, but the left talks about

00:35:02.080 that a lot.

00:35:03.480 And if anything has exacerbated class tensions, it is this lockdown.

00:35:08.780 I'll give you an example of this.

00:35:11.680 I've noticed as I are going to retail shops or something that the workers there more often

00:35:19.360 than not are unpleasant compared to before the lockdown, when everyone's basically perfectly

00:35:26.800 pleasant.

00:35:27.460 But since the lockdown, I've had several rude interactions with, uh, retail workers, which

00:35:35.100 doesn't make sense to me.

00:35:36.080 I'm so wonderfully pleasant.

00:35:37.380 I'm so wonderfully amiable that it certainly couldn't have been anything I've done, but

00:35:40.540 really my, my behavior has not changed.

00:35:43.160 There, there has been something that's gone on and I kind of get it.

00:35:46.000 I actually, I empathize with the, the retail workers, which is that everybody is being

00:35:51.920 told this hysteria from the left and the media that if you so much as go outside, you're going

00:35:57.480 to die, right?

00:35:58.920 You've got to work, you work from home, safer at home, stay at home.

00:36:02.020 Oh, except for you little pesky retail workers, you come on in, you sacrifice your lives so

00:36:06.500 that we can go buy our almond milk.

00:36:08.000 But all, all the really fancy people who have jobs where you can work from home, they're going

00:36:11.680 to work from home because their lives matter, but your life doesn't matter.

00:36:13.900 I get it.

00:36:14.580 I'd be irritated too.

00:36:15.680 If I were a realty worker, it doesn't matter.

00:36:18.060 Of course, that the alarmism that the left is peddling isn't true, right?

00:36:24.300 I mean, they're, you're not going to die the minute that you walk out the door, especially

00:36:29.440 if you're in a, not a particularly at risk population.

00:36:32.740 The very fact that you're being told that means that you're being told, yeah, you're

00:36:35.860 expendable grocery store worker.

00:36:37.920 You're expendable barista.

00:36:40.220 Because I got to get my latte, you know, the, those people who are working from home to

00:36:45.300 protect their lives, they need to get their latte.

00:36:47.240 So you need to go in and risk your lives.

00:36:49.440 That's not a very nice thing to tell people.

00:36:51.740 The alternative to this is what the right is saying, which is that nobody's expendable

00:36:57.960 and nobody's non-essential.

00:37:01.380 Everybody is essential in the economy.

00:37:03.180 Everybody.

00:37:03.460 Everybody, okay?

00:37:05.040 And a, a world in which we say that a huge portion of workers are non-essential or that

00:37:13.120 only the really fancy people with the fancy jobs, only they get to work from home, protect

00:37:19.700 their lives.

00:37:20.560 That's an ugly society.

00:37:22.140 That's a, that's a tense society.

00:37:23.500 That's one that, that, that views people as unimportant.

00:37:27.680 I mean, that's, ironically, that's what Andrew Cuomo was saying early on.

00:37:30.820 He says, if we save one life, well, you know, put that into practice.

00:37:35.400 If, if you really view human beings as dignified, then, you know, treat, treat them with a little

00:37:40.120 bit of dignity.

00:37:41.480 Treat everybody as essential.

00:37:43.520 Be all in it together.

00:37:44.900 I, unbelievable political times we're living in that it's actually the right who's, who's

00:37:50.100 defending the Marxists.

00:37:51.620 I don't know.

00:37:52.060 I don't know how we, how we got to this spot.

00:37:55.400 Even crazier, even more backwards.

00:37:57.420 We are now at a spot where believe all women in the Me Too movement is actually a right 0.99

00:38:02.980 wing trap.

00:38:04.700 So the, the left is in a really bad spot.

00:38:06.980 The feminist movement in a very bad spot because the feminists told us during the Brett Kavanaugh 0.94

00:38:12.580 hearings that anytime any woman makes an accusation, no matter how outlandish, no matter how uncorroborated,

00:38:19.240 no matter how much it changes, we have to believe those women.

00:38:22.960 We need to strip men of due process rights and we need to destroy their careers. 1.00

00:38:25.820 All right.

00:38:26.840 There was no evidence that Brett Kavanaugh did anything untoward to that lady, Christine

00:38:32.000 Ford.

00:38:33.420 No evidence that Christine Ford ever met Brett Kavanaugh.

00:38:35.780 She couldn't tell us when the alleged incident took place, who was there in the room, how many

00:38:39.820 people were there, where it was.

00:38:42.100 The one friend she said was around at the time said it didn't happen.

00:38:46.880 She changed her story.

00:38:48.220 She got caught in a bunch of lies, right?

00:38:49.560 She was completely uncredible. 1.00

00:38:52.020 Then there was another lady who was somehow even less credible, Julie Swetnick, who said

00:38:58.560 that Brett Kavanaugh was a gang rapist and the media, Jake Tapper, oh, they were promoting

00:39:04.820 this woman.

00:39:05.320 They were promoting all this trash.

00:39:07.660 And they said, if you didn't believe these women, then you were some, some monster.

00:39:12.200 Now, of course, Joe Biden has much more credible allegations against him.

00:39:15.320 And all of a sudden they're saying, no, we shouldn't believe that woman.

00:39:18.660 So Susan Faludi, who is a journalist writing the New York Times, she says, believe all women

00:39:24.600 is a right-wing trap.

00:39:26.180 Joe Biden has been accused of sexual assault and conservatives are having a field day.

00:39:29.480 Oh, we're having a field day.

00:39:30.760 No, we're just holding you to your own standards.

00:39:33.540 Exultant that they've caught feminists in a new hypocrisy trap. 0.84

00:39:36.420 A woman with no corroboration beyond contemporaneous accounts charges a powerful man with a decades

00:39:41.620 old crime.

00:39:42.280 Hmm, doesn't that sound mighty close to Christine Blasey Ford's complaint against Supreme Court

00:39:46.160 nominee Brett Kavanaugh?

00:39:47.460 No, it doesn't actually, because the woman who's alleging the, the crime against Joe Biden

00:39:53.260 has contemporaneous corroboration and Christine Ford didn't.

00:39:57.460 So actually it's not.

00:39:58.380 This one seems a whole lot more credible than Christine Ford, even though you're not believing

00:40:02.040 this lady because it's politically inconvenient for you. 1.00

00:40:04.920 Anyway, hmm, doesn't that sound mighty close to Christine Ford?

00:40:08.620 Yes.

00:40:08.960 This time, many liberals who've championed the Me Too movement seem skeptical.

00:40:12.660 Gotcha.

00:40:13.980 But in fact, Believe All Women does have an asterisk.

00:40:18.120 It's never been feminist boilerplate.

00:40:20.540 What we are witnessing is another instance of the right decrying what it imagines to be

00:40:24.460 the American women's movement.

00:40:26.060 Spend some mind numbing hours tracking the origins of Believe All Women on social media

00:40:30.320 sites and news databases as I did, and you'll discover how language like a virus can mutate

00:40:35.160 overnight.

00:40:36.020 All of a sudden, yesterday's quotes suffer the insertion of some foreign DNA that makes

00:40:42.260 them easy to weaponize.

00:40:44.340 In this case, that intrusion, that foreign intrusion is a word all. 0.99

00:40:49.800 All insertion was all the rage during the Kavanaugh hearing.

00:40:52.940 So they're saying, actually, the phrase was believe women, not believe all women.

00:40:56.220 It's conservatives who added the all to it, and that totally changes the meaning.

00:41:00.340 Except that isn't true.

00:41:03.240 That's the big problem.

00:41:05.680 The Women's March, tweeted out, we believe all survivors.

00:41:11.260 Kirsten Gillibrand, tweeted out, do we value women? 0.97

00:41:13.840 Do we believe women? 1.00

00:41:14.680 Do we give them the opportunity to tell their story, to be heard?

00:41:17.480 Will we ensure that they get the justice they deserve?

00:41:19.840 We must fight to be a country that answers yes every time.

00:41:24.460 Every time.

00:41:25.540 Hillary Clinton, this one, the most ironic.

00:41:28.020 Every survivor of sexual assault deserves to be heard, believed, and supported.

00:41:36.720 Every one.

00:41:37.880 Except for the ones that Hillary Clinton spent decades smearing, I guess.

00:41:41.520 But every one.

00:41:42.400 Actually, the Hillary Clinton part is important to remember here.

00:41:46.240 The left has always been hypocritical on feminism.

00:41:49.140 All the way back.

00:41:50.380 All the way back to the 90s, all the way before that.

00:41:52.920 Feminism has never been a tool to help women and treat women fairly and apply standards equally. 1.00

00:42:01.260 No.

00:42:01.660 It's just a political instrument for attacking Republicans and not attacking Democrats.

00:42:08.160 Going easy on Democrats.

00:42:10.380 We can go back in time.

00:42:11.800 We can Google this.

00:42:13.540 We can see that they're lying to us now.

00:42:16.580 Now, even the idea, by the way, that believe all women is different than believe women, what's the difference?

00:42:27.160 There's no difference at all.

00:42:28.840 If you say believe women as a categorical statement, that is exactly the same as saying believe all women. 0.53

00:42:37.120 You could say believe some women. 1.00

00:42:38.780 I guess that would be the alternative.

00:42:39.820 But obviously, none of the left ever said that.

00:42:41.940 You say believe women, believe all women.

00:42:44.020 It's exactly the same thing.

00:42:45.400 And beyond that, they actually said believe all women before.

00:42:49.860 This is not the only way the left tries to manipulate language.

00:42:52.400 Before we go, I've got to get to this.

00:42:53.840 This is my favorite story probably of the entire day.

00:42:57.760 The UN.

00:42:58.780 The UN tweets out.

00:43:00.380 They say, what you say matters.

00:43:01.920 Help create a more equal world by using gender-neutral language.

00:43:05.760 If you're unaware about someone's gender or are referring to a group, unwomen.org, hashtag generation equality.

00:43:15.200 And they have all these words that we're not allowed to say anymore and now these words that we have to say instead.

00:43:19.520 If you don't know someone's gender, use the gender-neutral language.

00:43:22.980 So you can't say mankind.

00:43:24.960 You have to say humankind.

00:43:26.740 Even though man is a gender-neutral pronoun, even though in the beginning God created man, both male and female, he created them.

00:43:34.100 You have to say humankind.

00:43:36.660 Well, hold on.

00:43:37.320 That doesn't work.

00:43:38.140 So the problem is that you've got man in here on mankind.

00:43:42.340 But you've also got man in there on humankind.

00:43:45.000 So it should be hu-person kind, right? 0.98

00:43:48.600 But wait a second.

00:43:49.820 Hu-person kind.

00:43:51.360 That still has son in it, doesn't it?

00:43:53.580 So you can't say that's sexist.

00:43:55.040 That's not equality.

00:43:56.060 So it should be hu-per-daughter. 0.96

00:43:57.660 Hu-per-daughter kind. 0.96

00:43:59.120 So, okay, I guess you can say hu-per-daughter kind. 0.97

00:44:01.040 Instead of chairman, you have to say chair.

00:44:02.540 So you have to replace a person with a piece of furniture.

00:44:05.400 That makes sense.

00:44:06.220 Instead of congressman, you have to say legislator.

00:44:09.900 It doesn't really differentiate between all the different legislatures.

00:44:12.320 Fine.

00:44:13.100 Instead of businessman, you have to say representative.

00:44:16.140 Those actually don't mean the same thing.

00:44:17.660 Representative means congressman, not businessman.

00:44:20.880 Okay?

00:44:21.360 It's all right.

00:44:21.700 I don't expect them to know a lot about language.

00:44:23.600 Instead of policeman, you got to say police officer.

00:44:25.360 Landlord, you have to say owner.

00:44:28.080 Boyfriend, girlfriend, you got to say partner.

00:44:30.140 You know, as though you're about to like open an accounting office with somebody instead

00:44:33.440 of have a love affair with them.

00:44:35.120 Salesman, you got to say salesperson.

00:44:36.420 Obviously, you got to be sales per daughter. 0.98

00:44:37.480 You know that.

00:44:38.420 Manpower is workforce.

00:44:41.160 Workforce, not manpower.

00:44:44.020 Maiden name, family name, fireman, firefighter, husband or wife, you have to say spouse.

00:44:48.720 Uh, no.

00:44:50.780 No, I don't think I'm going to do any of that.

00:44:53.580 The, what is the purpose of the United Nations?

00:44:57.980 What is the, I guess it's supposed to provide a forum to discuss international issues and

00:45:04.720 basically just give the United States a way to wrangle a bunch of countries in the world.

00:45:08.680 That's how it's supposed to work theoretically.

00:45:10.280 That's not how it really works.

00:45:11.540 The way the UN really works is we give them plush real estate in New York.

00:45:14.920 We invite the worst people on earth to come over here and criticize us.

00:45:18.720 Without any, any credibility, these are the worst people on the planet and they criticize

00:45:24.080 us.

00:45:25.660 Then the important initiatives that the UN undertakes is to try to destroy the English language

00:45:30.860 with a bunch of stupid euphemisms to push left-wing feminism. 1.00

00:45:36.840 Let's just not do it.

00:45:38.960 Obviously, we shouldn't use this kind of language.

00:45:42.040 We shouldn't fund this kind of organization.

00:45:45.220 We shouldn't pretend, okay, we shouldn't go along with this.

00:45:47.940 This has been a theme of the past, certainly the past week.

00:45:52.000 Really, we've been talking about it for the past several weeks.

00:45:54.940 We're in a different political moment now than we were in four or five years ago, okay?

00:45:59.560 The four or five years ago kind of conservative vision in America was lose nicely.

00:46:06.820 You know, be a Mitt Romney.

00:46:08.720 Make some weak argument and then lose, but lose really nicely.

00:46:14.500 You know, play your role as the court jester in the kingdom of liberalism and then lose

00:46:17.660 really nicely and that's fine.

00:46:19.360 Don't really attack anybody too hard.

00:46:20.980 Yeah, we know the media is against you, but that's life.

00:46:23.280 We know the education system is against you.

00:46:25.100 Aw, shucks.

00:46:25.680 What can you do?

00:46:26.460 We know that virtually every institution in this country is left-wing, progressive, whatever

00:46:32.620 you want.

00:46:32.980 But hey, that's just the way it is.

00:46:34.500 Can't push back.

00:46:35.300 No, I think we can.

00:46:37.160 Pretty sure we can.

00:46:38.400 That's the defining feature of the Trump era.

00:46:41.120 That's why the Trump era isn't so nice and genial is because he's actually doing something.

00:46:45.060 So let's do it.

00:46:46.400 Let's not go along with this anymore.

00:46:47.600 Let's just defund the damn thing.
