00:00:30.320 A Vanderbilt undergraduate made history over the past few days

00:00:35.120 because she became the first woman to play a snap in a Power 5 college football game.

00:00:43.460 Absolutely historic.

00:00:45.520 Someday all the historians are going to remember this very important moment in history.

00:00:51.000 Here is the undergraduate describing what the accomplishment means.

00:00:55.040 I mean, I just want to tell like all the girls out there that you can do anything you set your mind to.

00:00:59.720 Like, you really can.

00:01:01.000 And if you have that mentality all the way through, like, you can do big things.

00:01:05.220 So.

00:01:06.340 Well, Sarah, you paved a new path today and it was amazing to witness.

00:01:09.600 Congratulations.

00:01:10.360 Thank you.

00:01:10.840 You can do anything.

00:01:12.760 You might not succeed and you might not win.

00:01:14.560 And Vanderbilt actually lost the game 41 to nothing.

00:01:17.160 But you can do anything is what our liberal culture tells us.

00:01:20.300 In fact, though, reality gets a say as well.

00:01:23.680 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:01:24.460 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:33.360 Welcome back to the show.

00:01:35.060 My favorite comment from yesterday from Cardi O, who says,

00:01:38.940 I heard the real reason Joe Biden broke his foot was during a victory celebration for his supporters when he tripped over one of their headstones.

00:01:46.540 It could be.

00:01:47.340 It could be.

00:01:48.020 I don't think we're getting the whole story here about this dog situation.

00:01:52.280 Who knows?

00:01:52.640 The media very often lie to us.

00:01:54.920 There's a lot more evidence coming out about this election.

00:01:57.260 Actually, there was a hearing in Arizona yesterday that no one in the mainstream media want to cover.

00:02:01.760 So we will get to that.

00:02:04.280 There are a lot of a lot of things being hidden this this time of year around election season and around holiday season.

00:02:10.920 You know, it's the busiest time of year at your door and you're going to want to know who is at your door.

00:02:15.260 That is why you need to get ring.

00:02:18.420 So important right now.

00:02:19.700 You've got delivery men coming over.

00:02:21.620 You've got friends and family coming over.

00:02:23.620 You've got your mother-in-law coming over.

00:02:25.120 You're probably going to want to know who's at your door.

00:02:27.220 Ring has everything you need to keep an eye on your home this holiday season and throughout the year.

00:02:33.120 See and speak to whoever is at your door from anywhere with video doorbells.

00:02:43.000 You help protect your whole home with Ring Alarm, a powerful, affordable whole home security system that you can easily install yourself.

00:02:50.920 I got to tell you, I'm very happy that when someone comes to my door, I can see who that person is,

00:02:56.000 particularly when I, you know, go on the road to sweet little Elisa's home alone.

00:03:00.020 She's a good shot, but good that she can see who is there.

00:03:03.540 For a limited time, go to ring.com slash Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S.

00:03:07.840 You will get special holiday offers.

00:03:10.460 You're going to want to do that right now.

00:03:12.380 Ring.com slash Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S. 0.99

00:03:17.120 So this, I don't mean to disparage the gal who kicked the football or, I mean, even though they

00:03:23.080 lost 41 to nothing, I don't want to disparage the gal.

00:03:26.320 I want to disparage the idea that men and women are exactly the same.

00:03:30.900 You'll recall I've given dozens and dozens, more than that, of speeches on college campuses.

00:03:35.540 The only time I was ever attacked was when I made the controversial statement at the University

00:03:39.580 of Missouri, Kansas City that men are not women.

00:03:42.960 This idea is coming under attack by the gender ideology, the transgender movement. 1.00

00:03:48.400 It's coming under attack by feminists who obviously disagree with the transgender movement. 1.00

00:03:52.700 They think that men and women are distinct categories, but that women also can, in effect,

00:03:58.120 do anything that men can do.

00:03:59.160 Exactly the same.

00:04:00.220 There's no difference between the sexes. 0.98

00:04:01.640 That just isn't true.

00:04:02.720 We've seen this in sports again and again.

00:04:04.600 Sometimes you hear a call for men to be able to play women's sports, which is very sad because

00:04:08.860 then the men win and the women are disenfranchised.

00:04:11.360 There are lawsuits now going up to the Supreme Court on this point.

00:04:14.900 And you also hear the idea that women can beat men in men's sports.

00:04:17.900 This can't happen.

00:04:18.980 Just to give you one of the most famous examples of this, there was the battle of the sexes 0.82

00:04:23.780 in the 1990s.

00:04:25.580 This was when Venus and Serena Williams, because they're very good women's tennis players, 0.97

00:04:30.300 suggested that they could beat any man ranked, I think it was outside of the top 200 in the

00:04:35.560 world.

00:04:35.840 So a gentleman by the name of Carsten Brosh, who was ranked just outside the top 200, decided

00:04:42.620 that he would take them up on this challenge.

00:04:45.000 Carsten Brosh decided to warm up for his game with the Williams sisters by playing a round

00:04:51.160 of golf, drinking a couple of beers, and smoking many, many cigarettes.

00:04:57.000 He then showed up for this game and beat Serena Williams six to one. 0.53

00:05:01.080 Then, because Venus was there as well, he decided to play head to head, or back to back rather,

00:05:07.160 go up against Venus.

00:05:08.720 He was a little more tuckered out in that game.

00:05:10.240 He still beat her six to two.

00:05:13.260 Not to say men are better than women.

00:05:16.160 Men are better than women at men's tennis, that's for sure. 1.00

00:05:18.580 Yes, they're better than women at athletics generally, because physically men are stronger.

00:05:23.760 Doesn't mean that men are categorically better than women.

00:05:26.280 It means that men and women are different. 0.94

00:05:28.220 They have different strengths.

00:05:30.520 They do things differently.

00:05:31.660 To compare men and women as this perfect match is actually more akin to comparing apples and oranges.

00:05:38.460 But our liberal culture, just about every aspect of our liberal culture, wants to deny

00:05:43.860 those differences to men and women.

00:05:45.620 And that's sad for women especially. 0.99

00:05:48.340 It's also sad for men.

00:05:49.880 And it's sad for all of us because it denies the truth.

00:05:53.400 Now, there are a lot of euphemisms we hear.

00:05:55.020 Women is considered politically incorrect because it has the word man in it. 1.00

00:05:59.040 So some women like to, the feminist types want to spell it W-I-M-M-I-N. 1.00

00:06:05.380 You've heard of the idea of woe person.

00:06:08.600 But of course, son is still very sexist and politically incorrect.

00:06:12.100 So you'd really have to rename it Whopper Daughter.

00:06:13.940 There are other terms that have come up.

00:06:17.700 The new one, this might be the strangest of all from Healthline magazine, calls women vulva owners.

00:06:28.420 The headline here is, do vulva owners like sex?

00:06:33.440 Is the wrong question.

00:06:34.980 Here is what you should ask instead.

00:06:36.620 This is written by a, I guess, a vulva owner herself, Jennifer Littner, who writes,

00:06:43.280 what's the short answer?

00:06:44.000 It depends on the person.

00:06:45.440 Some like sex and some don't, just like some owners of male genitalia like sex and some don't.

00:06:53.260 Okay.

00:06:54.580 I'm not going to get into this.

00:06:56.160 This is a family show, so I'm not going to get into all of this.

00:06:59.420 When I first saw the headline, I thought it said, do vulva owners like sex?

00:07:03.340 Which is, that's a euphemism for the upper middle class.

00:07:06.140 And I thought, I think they do.

00:07:07.340 I'm pretty sure they do.

00:07:08.660 Vulva owners tend to have kids.

00:07:09.940 But in any case, the phrase they're using is vulva owners.

00:07:13.320 So if you own women's genitalia, then you like sex. 0.98

00:07:20.360 Something that's very revealing about this new euphemism, though,

00:07:23.380 is not just that it misunderstands women. 0.92

00:07:25.180 I mean, truly, how objectifying is it?

00:07:27.360 You are, in that case, treating women as only material.

00:07:32.120 They don't have a spiritual component.

00:07:33.500 They don't have a soul.

00:07:34.400 They're just their flesh.

00:07:36.080 And then you are objectifying women by saying that you own them.

00:07:39.240 You own this piece of them.

00:07:41.080 But it also misunderstands humanity.

00:07:44.240 Because I guess if you wanted to be politically correct,

00:07:46.640 couldn't you say persons with vulvas or something?

00:07:50.300 You know, just, you've heard this kind of language used,

00:07:53.280 especially by the transgender movement.

00:07:54.520 But no, they're saying owner.

00:07:56.400 And it reveals two things that are really wrong.

00:07:59.500 One, that people are just viewing themselves as meat puppets,

00:08:03.140 you know, as we're just, we can just be boiled down to our flesh.

00:08:05.880 But also that we own ourselves, that we possess ourselves in a way

00:08:14.320 that we would possess a Leftist Tears Tumblr,

00:08:16.480 or we would possess note cards, or we would possess a microphone.

00:08:19.900 It's a point of view, a vision of the human person

00:08:24.220 from a consumerist or materialist perspective.

00:08:30.200 And it's really, really wrong.

00:08:32.400 Liberals, and even some, I guess some libertarians,

00:08:34.520 tend to have this idea that we own our bodies,

00:08:38.520 and we can do whatever we want with our bodies,

00:08:40.340 and we can do whatever we want.

00:08:41.820 There's no moral order that we have to answer to,

00:08:43.440 and we have no responsibility to use our liberty toward justice.

00:08:46.940 That idea is kind of gone in the liberal

00:08:50.920 and even libertarian vision of things.

00:08:52.700 The conservative view is very different, though.

00:08:54.720 In the conservative view, I don't own my body.

00:08:57.760 I don't have the right to do whatever I want at all times

00:09:00.520 as long as I don't scare the horses in the street or hurt somebody.

00:09:03.840 I have a responsibility to the moral order.

00:09:07.060 I have responsibilities to my fellow citizens.

00:09:10.240 I have responsibilities to my family.

00:09:11.660 I have responsibilities to my country.

00:09:13.060 And so I'm not just free to do whatever I want with my body,

00:09:15.500 which is why you rarely see conservatives mutilating themselves

00:09:19.080 or disrespecting their bodies.

00:09:21.740 And when they do disrespect their bodies, they feel shame for it.

00:09:25.760 That's, I mean, this is a very stupid headline,

00:09:27.800 and people should make fun of the article.

00:09:29.060 But it actually does reveal a big difference

00:09:32.140 in the way that the left and the right view themselves

00:09:36.820 and view society.

00:09:38.600 It's totally objectifying.

00:09:40.380 And you can see another aspect of this disagreement spell out

00:09:46.120 in a viral video yesterday.

00:09:48.180 There was a video.

00:09:48.840 It was trending all over the internet yesterday,

00:09:50.820 and it had to do with twerking.

00:09:52.840 Now, you know what twerking is?

00:09:53.900 It's when you, in a sort of cartoonish way,

00:09:57.500 caricature the physical aspects of sex,

00:10:02.520 and this is passed off for dancing now.

00:10:05.500 And so it's very grotesque.

00:10:07.540 I mean, I'm not saying I'm horrified or offended by it.

00:10:10.520 It's just grotesque because it's not something

00:10:14.580 one would like to see.

00:10:15.500 It's not particularly beautiful, not graceful,

00:10:17.840 not edifying, and not dignified.

00:10:20.140 And there was a business owner who came in,

00:10:24.040 and he's a black business owner,

00:10:26.120 and he was calling out the black community generally.

00:10:29.140 And he said when people come in,

00:10:30.940 and maybe they drink too much and they start twerking,

00:10:33.080 this is degraded behavior,

00:10:35.180 and he's not going to tolerate it.

00:10:37.660 I invested a lot of money into buying this building,

00:10:40.840 into developing this concept,

00:10:42.480 so black people can have somewhere nice to go to, okay?

00:10:45.320 Somewhere where we can feel good about ourselves as a...

00:10:47.900 Come on! 0.61

00:10:48.880 Stop the music, please.

00:10:51.220 Somewhere where our people can feel good about ourselves

00:10:53.580 as a culture, okay?

00:10:55.160 No, no, real talk.

00:10:56.640 And so all this twerking and s***,

00:10:58.260 take it to prime, take it to pink, 0.57

00:10:59.920 don't bring it here because we're a restaurant.

00:11:02.160 And so beyond that, 75% of my customers are ladies.

00:11:05.540 And I want men to show respect for themselves

00:11:07.260 for how they carry themselves here.

00:11:08.780 So how can I tell the men to respect themselves?

00:11:10.900 And you guys are talking on glass here.

00:11:12.360 If you want to do it,

00:11:13.080 you can f*** out my restaurant. 0.99

00:11:14.400 Because I did it for our people,

00:11:15.600 and I did it for our culture.

00:11:16.840 So don't do it.

00:11:17.380 Now, don't do it again.

00:11:18.340 I don't want to hear it.

00:11:19.000 If you don't like me,

00:11:19.720 get out because I don't need your money.

00:11:21.340 I need to provide something for my people.

00:11:23.560 And don't do it again.

00:11:24.780 Thank you.

00:11:26.980 That guy's absolutely right.

00:11:28.540 He lost his temper,

00:11:29.840 and he said a word he probably shouldn't have.

00:11:31.420 He kind of undercut his point a little bit

00:11:32.880 because he said,

00:11:33.500 be respectful of people,

00:11:34.520 be respectful of women.

00:11:35.500 Then he, you know,

00:11:36.700 gets a little carried away.

00:11:37.920 But the point he's making is totally right.

00:11:41.020 Do not do that.

00:11:43.360 And this is a big divide here.

00:11:45.300 You've got basically the entire left

00:11:47.220 on the side of,

00:11:48.360 yeah, twerk.

00:11:49.340 Twerking is empowering.

00:11:50.840 Degrade your body.

00:11:51.960 Treat yourself as just a physical meat puppet.

00:11:55.360 Do whatever you,

00:11:56.020 pursue your appetites.

00:11:57.260 Do whatever.

00:11:57.520 That's empowering, right?

00:11:58.540 The left tells you that.

00:12:00.000 Even the libertarian right

00:12:01.540 often tells you that.

00:12:03.160 You'll hear people on the libertarian right

00:12:04.880 say that sort of degraded behaviors

00:12:08.320 or drag queen story hour

00:12:09.980 are actually blessings of liberty

00:12:12.300 to invoke a phrase from our founding fathers,

00:12:14.700 all of whom would have been horrified at twerking

00:12:17.000 and would have almost certainly applauded

00:12:19.780 that business owner for saying what he said.

00:12:21.420 You see that kind of is one side of the divide.

00:12:27.680 Then you have conservatives on the other saying,

00:12:29.760 no, just don't do that.

00:12:31.200 We need to have standards.

00:12:32.420 And I think this is something

00:12:33.660 that conservatives have gotten wrong,

00:12:35.900 particularly in the realm of political correctness

00:12:39.120 for a long time.

00:12:40.040 But it's something they've gotten wrong

00:12:41.420 at trying to fight the left

00:12:42.560 since the cultural revolutions of the 1960s

00:12:44.700 all the way up to the present,

00:12:45.960 which is that the right has taken the bait.

00:12:50.100 The left came in

00:12:50.960 and upended all of the old standards.

00:12:53.040 Conservatives used to have standards.

00:12:54.460 I know we like to pretend

00:12:55.500 that we didn't in the past,

00:12:56.880 but Joe McCarthy was not a liberal, okay?

00:12:59.020 The House Un-American Activities Committee

00:13:02.000 was not liberal.

00:13:04.120 The Hays Code that governed Hollywood

00:13:06.360 and did in a way censor Hollywood,

00:13:09.820 but it gave us some of the greatest movies ever made,

00:13:11.960 that was conservative.

00:13:14.600 That wasn't liberal.

00:13:16.280 And what I think the left

00:13:18.060 has convinced conservatives of

00:13:19.700 in the past 50 years

00:13:20.800 is that actually we shouldn't have any standards.

00:13:23.360 That if you're a real conservative,

00:13:24.640 then you want people to do whatever they want.

00:13:27.420 You're for pure freedom

00:13:28.560 and a very degraded understanding

00:13:30.040 of what that freedom is.

00:13:31.320 Yeah, twerking, that's totally conservative.

00:13:33.620 Yeah, vulgarity and obscenity everywhere

00:13:35.580 and all sorts of disordered relationships.

00:13:40.300 That's totally conservative.

00:13:41.620 It's not.

00:13:42.260 It's not a blessing of liberty.

00:13:44.500 It's not conducive to human flourishing.

00:13:47.400 Every society has standards.

00:13:48.980 We should have standards too.

00:13:50.260 I totally applaud that restaurant owner

00:13:52.440 for doing his part

00:13:54.640 to try to fix the culture a little bit

00:13:56.680 and actually having some confidence

00:13:58.480 to articulate a standard.

00:14:00.420 And I think a lot of conservatives

00:14:01.340 should pay attention to what he's saying.

00:14:03.100 But we still keep making this argument.

00:14:05.000 We even make it

00:14:05.880 when we talk about the very fraught issue

00:14:08.440 of censorship and free speech.

00:14:11.720 And I got to tell you,

00:14:12.960 a lot of what conservatives

00:14:14.620 have been saying on this topic

00:14:16.440 I think has been sort of dishonest.

00:14:18.780 I think they've been,

00:14:20.080 you might say they've been blowing smoke

00:14:21.680 for many years.

00:14:22.580 And you know that I've been blowing smoke

00:14:23.680 for many years,

00:14:24.220 but I'm not talking about nonsense.

00:14:26.340 I'm talking about actual smoke from cigars,

00:14:28.020 which I love very much.

00:14:28.940 I have been a fan of cigars

00:14:30.740 since I was 15 years old.

00:14:32.580 They are one of the great pleasures of my life.

00:14:36.700 I, as people always worry

00:14:38.480 that I, if I have too many cigars,

00:14:39.840 I say I've taken more out of cigars

00:14:41.060 than cigars have taken out of me,

00:14:42.660 as many other great cigar smokers have said.

00:14:44.700 So people ask me all the time,

00:14:46.700 Michael, what are your cigar recommendations?

00:14:48.500 And I always throw out a few answers.

00:14:50.360 Well, now Thompson Cigars

00:14:51.760 has solved this problem.

00:14:54.260 Thompson Cigars has created

00:14:55.940 the official Knolls Cigar Sampler Pack.

00:14:59.800 I had to undergo the very difficult,

00:15:02.300 strenuous task of sampling

00:15:03.860 all of these wonderful cigars.

00:15:05.840 I did it a number of weeks ago,

00:15:08.160 and I picked out my five favorites.

00:15:10.140 Some of these are old favorites of mine.

00:15:11.280 Some of these are new.

00:15:12.120 This includes the Manowar Armada Toro.

00:15:14.440 That cigar alone I've seen on retail

00:15:15.820 for 40 bucks a stick.

00:15:16.920 It is a magnificent cigar.

00:15:17.920 The Davidoff Nicaragua Box Press Robusto,

00:15:20.900 very, very high-end cigar.

00:15:22.280 The Illusione Rothschild San Andres,

00:15:24.640 the La Historia by E.P. Carrillo El Senador,

00:15:27.540 and one of my sentimental old favorites,

00:15:29.880 the Oliva Series O Perfecto.

00:15:32.000 These are all extremely highly rated cigars.

00:15:34.900 Thompson, with over a century in the business,

00:15:37.040 really knows their stuff.

00:15:37.980 They got the best prices on the planet.

00:15:39.860 Right now, they've got the sampler on sale

00:15:42.000 for less than $40.

00:15:44.340 $40.

00:15:45.380 One of those cigars would be $40

00:15:46.920 in a retail shop.

00:15:48.360 I've never seen a sale like this.

00:15:49.720 Right now, you can also get extra savings.

00:15:52.800 Thompson's offering listeners 15% off

00:15:54.640 orders over $75,

00:15:56.140 20% off orders over $99.

00:15:58.400 You should go get 10 of these samplers.

00:15:59.980 Seriously, I'm going to go order these samplers

00:16:01.600 because this price can't be beat.

00:16:03.360 Go to ThompsonCigar.com.

00:16:12.240 Let me know what you think about those cigars.

00:16:13.820 And tweet me what you think about them too.

00:16:15.140 We've been making this mistake on the right

00:16:20.140 with regard to how we approach

00:16:23.100 the new standards of the left.

00:16:24.820 We used to have ballroom dancing.

00:16:26.360 Now we have twerking.

00:16:29.180 The conservative perspective would be

00:16:31.000 that the waltzing is better than the twerking.

00:16:33.440 The more hands-up, laissez-faire perspective

00:16:37.500 that conservatives have been deceived into embracing

00:16:40.920 is that, oh, who cares?

00:16:42.580 You do you.

00:16:43.020 One guy wants to ballroom dance.

00:16:44.780 One guy wants to twerk.

00:16:45.620 It's kind of the same thing.

00:16:47.320 You can just do whatever you want.

00:16:48.780 No, I don't think so.

00:16:50.080 Jonathan Turley, who I like very much,

00:16:52.120 but Jonathan Turley kind of espoused this perspective

00:16:55.140 in a recent column that he wrote.

00:16:57.880 He was describing the censorship of free speech

00:17:02.620 and specifically CNN's embrace

00:17:06.040 of the censorship on social media.

00:17:09.620 So he describes Oliver Darcy,

00:17:12.420 who at CNN wants all Trump's tweets

00:17:14.820 to be labeled as disinformation

00:17:16.880 and basically wants them to be taken off of the internet.

00:17:21.280 He says,

00:17:21.980 what is chilling about Darcy's writings

00:17:24.280 is that they reflect the view of many now in Congress

00:17:26.160 and in the Democratic Party.

00:17:27.340 Indeed, they reflect many in the Biden campaign.

00:17:29.100 Once a party that fought for free speech,

00:17:31.980 it has become the party demanding internet censorship

00:17:34.740 and hate speech laws.

00:17:37.220 President-elect Joe Biden has called for speech controls

00:17:41.560 and recently appointed a transition head

00:17:43.320 for agency media issues

00:17:44.800 that is one of the most pronounced

00:17:46.060 anti-free speech figures in the United States.

00:17:49.280 It is a trend that now seems to find support in the media

00:17:52.080 and this is a bad thing and we need free speech.

00:17:53.840 It's basically what you're saying.

00:17:55.720 Yes, I want to be very careful with how I describe this

00:17:58.340 because this is a trap laid out for us

00:18:00.700 by the censors and by political correctness.

00:18:02.900 And I don't want to fall for that trap

00:18:04.580 and I don't want to fall for the other trap either.

00:18:07.300 Free speech is a very good thing.

00:18:10.300 Free speech has a shape.

00:18:14.060 Free speech looks like something.

00:18:15.300 Free speech is not infinite.

00:18:16.660 In the finite world,

00:18:17.880 there are no infinite things in our political institutions.

00:18:21.240 From the very beginning of this country,

00:18:23.160 there have been whole swaths of speech

00:18:24.920 that have not been allowed.

00:18:26.580 Sedition, fraud, fighting words, obscenity,

00:18:30.600 lots of other aspects too.

00:18:32.900 That was the old standard.

00:18:38.160 Now, the left wants to replace that standard

00:18:40.820 with a new standard

00:18:41.560 and maybe permit certain types of speech.

00:18:44.560 Fraud, we're having a national debate about that right now

00:18:47.780 with regard to the election.

00:18:48.920 Obscenity, they certainly want to permit. 0.95

00:18:50.380 They want to remove those issues.

00:18:53.620 Fighting words, they actually want to redefine

00:18:56.320 certain types of fighting as speech, right?

00:18:58.280 They want to define arson and rioting for BLM

00:19:01.440 as protected speech.

00:19:03.080 But then they want to redefine

00:19:04.500 certain types of conservative speech as violence.

00:19:06.200 So they want to redo that prohibition as well.

00:19:09.820 They want to,

00:19:10.640 it's not that they want to,

00:19:12.520 for the first time,

00:19:13.440 install restrictions on free speech.

00:19:15.720 It's that they want to change the restrictions

00:19:17.880 that we have had from the very beginning.

00:19:19.640 For conservatives to be coherent here,

00:19:24.180 we need to stop espousing a view

00:19:26.900 that has never existed anywhere

00:19:29.180 in any society in human history,

00:19:30.740 that all speech can be permitted all the time.

00:19:33.420 No one really believes that.

00:19:35.680 What we want to defend

00:19:37.000 is the traditional American understanding of free speech,

00:19:40.360 which is extraordinarily broad

00:19:42.460 and is a very good thing

00:19:44.580 and has led to a lot of human flourishing

00:19:46.400 and has led to a lot of open debate

00:19:47.580 into a lot of good ideas.

00:19:49.140 Even the most famous defenders

00:19:51.260 of free speech in history,

00:19:52.760 I'm thinking of guys like John Locke and John Milton.

00:19:54.960 John Milton wrote Areopagitica.

00:19:56.860 Areopagitica is his, 0.85

00:19:58.740 maybe the most famous defense

00:19:59.940 in the English language of free speech.

00:20:01.640 And even there, Milton says

00:20:02.960 that we can't give Catholics free speech. 0.88

00:20:06.240 It's amazing because talking about how we needed these,

00:20:08.780 the answer to a bad speech is more speech

00:20:10.660 and we know all these ideas,

00:20:11.580 but not for the Catholics 0.99

00:20:12.320 because he understood,

00:20:13.700 I actually kind of defend him as a Catholic.

00:20:15.760 He understood that to permit

00:20:17.140 that kind of religious conflict

00:20:18.420 at that time in England

00:20:19.320 would have led to even more bloodshed and madness

00:20:22.640 in the religious wars

00:20:25.460 that had been roiling up in that country

00:20:27.940 for a long time.

00:20:29.900 John Locke in the letter on toleration

00:20:31.900 says that we should not tolerate atheists. 0.59

00:20:35.680 We should not give them the sort of freedoms

00:20:37.420 that we have ourselves.

00:20:39.300 So that's a letter on toleration from John Locke

00:20:41.160 who's probably the best known liberal

00:20:42.400 in all of history.

00:20:44.380 So there, everyone, everyone,

00:20:46.200 no serious thinker or statesman

00:20:48.800 or society ever,

00:20:50.720 not one society,

00:20:52.020 has had this idea of totally open free speech.

00:20:54.340 You know, getting back to what that football player

00:20:56.500 said at the top of the show,

00:20:57.560 that vulva owner at the top of the show said,

00:20:59.520 she said, you can do anything.

00:21:00.620 No, there are limits actually on the world.

00:21:02.700 And what we're really debating

00:21:04.020 is what those limits are going to be.

00:21:05.600 Are we going to have a society

00:21:08.900 that is defined by,

00:21:11.680 that views itself as purely material

00:21:13.920 and that twerks all the time

00:21:15.320 and that runs roughshod

00:21:17.660 and starts burning cities

00:21:18.660 when they don't get their political way?

00:21:19.860 Or are we going to have

00:21:20.400 a more traditional society?

00:21:22.240 Which one?

00:21:22.660 That's a much more difficult

00:21:24.640 and nuanced conversation.

00:21:26.780 That's the one that serious conservatives

00:21:28.120 need to have.

00:21:28.620 Because by the way,

00:21:29.100 the old one that we were having

00:21:30.080 of just sort of yelling

00:21:31.320 and tilting at windmills

00:21:32.180 and screaming at the wind

00:21:32.880 and saying, we need free speech,

00:21:33.840 that wasn't working.

00:21:35.660 That hasn't worked ever

00:21:36.800 because it's divorced from reality

00:21:38.760 and that's why that argument

00:21:40.560 has been easy for the left to knock down

00:21:42.280 and it's why they've increased

00:21:43.520 their censorship on us.

00:21:45.280 And that just will not paint

00:21:46.920 a pretty picture of our country.

00:21:48.800 But if you do want

00:21:49.520 a painted pretty picture,

00:21:50.740 you got to go to Paint Your Life.

00:22:01.220 I had the heads of the Daily Wire

00:22:03.380 over to my place,

00:22:05.000 my new house in Nashville

00:22:06.000 over the weekend

00:22:06.840 and I had a Paint Your Life painting

00:22:08.680 of my mother

00:22:09.200 that was just sitting.

00:22:10.180 I haven't hung it up yet.

00:22:11.000 We just moved in.

00:22:12.420 And I said, isn't this amazing?

00:22:14.920 This is from our sponsor,

00:22:15.800 Paint Your Life.

00:22:16.320 And they said, what?

00:22:17.400 I said, yeah, it's from Paint Your Life.

00:22:18.520 They said, I thought

00:22:19.020 that was a photograph.

00:22:20.380 It's not a photograph.

00:22:21.120 It's a hand-done oil painting.

00:22:22.600 It's just unbelievable quality.

00:22:24.620 With Paint Your Life's

00:22:25.340 compilation portraits, by the way,

00:22:26.580 you can bring together

00:22:27.760 family members

00:22:28.500 who maybe never were

00:22:29.760 photographed together.

00:22:30.760 Maybe they never even

00:22:31.340 got a chance to meet

00:22:32.040 because these are artists.

00:22:33.160 So they'll work

00:22:33.720 from what they've got

00:22:35.720 work of art

00:22:36.240 and they'll work with you

00:22:37.000 the whole step of the way.

00:22:38.020 I must have worked

00:22:38.560 with this poor artist

00:22:39.300 back and forth so many times.

00:22:40.800 Do I like this background?

00:23:14.540 are redefining

00:23:16.780 all of the old standards.

00:23:18.400 They're redefining

00:23:19.000 a lot of the old terms.

00:23:19.900 There's one L.A. health official,

00:23:22.440 the L.A. County health officer,

00:23:23.940 Dr. Muntu Davis,

00:23:25.280 who is now redefining

00:23:27.920 the act of not wearing a mask.

00:23:31.360 You know those filthy cloth masks

00:23:33.140 that epidemiologists

00:23:34.880 that we have cited on this show

00:23:36.020 say don't do very much,

00:23:37.260 particularly one at Columbia University

00:23:38.440 say don't really stop the spread

00:23:40.060 all that much.

00:23:42.460 Those filthy cloth masks,

00:23:43.820 if you don't wear them,

00:23:44.600 according to this L.A. County

00:23:45.400 health official,

00:23:46.040 you are a domestic terrorist. 0.91

00:23:49.220 Act of domestic terrorism

00:23:51.520 to not wear that.

00:23:52.980 Now, there was,

00:23:54.300 this is unbelievable,

00:23:55.280 an L.A. County official,

00:23:56.840 L.A. official just yesterday,

00:24:00.120 votes to shut down outdoor dining

00:24:03.560 because L.A. wants to lock down again

00:24:06.580 and I'm very glad I got out

00:24:07.860 of that terribly run place.

00:24:10.680 Immediately then,

00:24:11.480 this person goes,

00:24:12.540 says we're not going to have

00:24:13.340 any more outdoor dining,

00:24:14.120 immediately goes to Santa Monica

00:24:15.600 and has a meal outdoors at a restaurant.

00:24:18.620 Doesn't matter at all.

00:24:19.900 No,

00:24:21.900 they probably don't even feel

00:24:24.220 that there was hypocrisy there

00:24:25.540 because there is one set of rules

00:24:27.380 for all the plebes like you and me

00:24:30.380 and then there's one set of rules for them,

00:24:32.280 people who are within that ruling edifice,

00:24:35.040 that establishment,

00:24:36.180 that blob.

00:24:37.220 Those bureaucrats get to make whatever rules they want 1.00

00:24:40.960 and they don't have to follow them.

00:24:42.540 This has been true of all of the most ardent defenders

00:24:47.220 of the mask rules and the lockdowns,

00:24:48.900 Nancy Pelosi,

00:24:50.260 Gavin Newsom,

00:24:51.440 the list goes on and on.

00:24:54.540 The Cuomo family,

00:24:56.460 Bill de Blasio in New York,

00:24:57.640 they don't follow their rules

00:25:00.320 because they don't believe them.

00:25:01.640 Dr. Fauci,

00:25:02.580 Dr. Fauci's another one.

00:25:03.560 You all have to wear masks

00:25:04.300 and every time he thinks the camera's not on him,

00:25:06.440 you look,

00:25:06.720 he's not wearing a mask.

00:25:09.360 Because it doesn't matter.

00:25:10.800 It doesn't matter.

00:25:11.660 First of all,

00:25:12.280 even by their own logic,

00:25:13.440 it doesn't matter if one or two people

00:25:14.580 don't wear masks.

00:25:15.220 As long as everyone else does,

00:25:16.580 then we're okay

00:25:17.300 and they just happen to want to be the people

00:25:18.980 who don't have to wear it.

00:25:20.220 But even beyond that,

00:25:21.760 it's hard to believe

00:25:22.540 that they believe what they're saying.

00:25:24.220 Fauci told us in the beginning

00:25:25.100 you'd have to be crazy to wear a mask.

00:25:26.560 Stop it.

00:25:27.180 Don't buy masks.

00:25:27.940 Don't wear them.

00:25:28.760 Then he tells you,

00:25:29.460 you have to wear masks.

00:25:30.700 Well, what changed?

00:25:31.760 Did the science change?

00:25:32.900 Dr. Fauci has been a top epidemiologist

00:25:35.380 for 40 years.

00:25:38.140 He's been in his job for 40 years.

00:25:42.000 Only now has he looked into

00:25:43.740 the efficacy of cloth masks?

00:25:46.660 No, I don't think,

00:25:47.500 I think it's capricious

00:25:48.300 and we're told

00:25:48.820 we have to listen to whatever they say

00:25:51.120 even when they contradict themselves

00:25:52.320 day after day.

00:25:53.600 And we are going to get more of that

00:25:55.340 if the Democrats take the Senate.

00:25:57.840 We'll get to the presidential race

00:25:59.140 in just one second.

00:26:00.160 But a lot of attention

00:26:01.060 is on these Georgia Senate races

00:26:02.360 because if the Republicans lose in Georgia,

00:26:04.060 we lose the Senate.

00:26:04.960 If we lose the Senate,

00:26:06.320 then the left is already promising us

00:26:08.780 that they'll kill the filibuster,

00:26:10.880 they'll add Puerto Rico as a state,

00:26:12.740 which would kill the Republican Party

00:26:14.160 at the presidential level,

00:26:15.400 that they'll pack the court.

00:26:16.680 I mean, they could kick Republicans

00:26:19.380 out of power

00:26:19.900 for a very, very long time,

00:26:21.040 all of our lifetimes

00:26:21.860 and maybe a generation after that

00:26:23.200 or more even for that matter.

00:26:26.020 There's a battle going on now

00:26:27.280 between two views of government,

00:26:28.480 one in which the government

00:26:29.420 is accountable to the people

00:26:30.940 and that's the conservative view

00:26:33.140 and then another view

00:26:34.220 in which the government

00:26:35.000 is not accountable to the people.

00:26:36.340 Actually, the people

00:26:37.400 are messing up the government

00:26:38.760 and so we've got to take

00:26:39.660 the political decisions

00:26:40.660 away from the people

00:26:41.460 and put it into the hands

00:26:42.660 of the experts.

00:26:43.940 And we've seen how brilliant

00:26:45.160 those experts are

00:26:46.060 over the past seven or eight months.

00:26:47.200 But that is the explicit view

00:26:49.660 of the left.

00:26:51.600 John Ossoff,

00:26:53.000 the flunky House candidate

00:26:54.400 who Hollywood poured

00:26:55.380 a ton of money into

00:26:56.060 and he went nowhere,

00:26:56.940 but now he's challenging

00:26:58.080 the Republicans in Georgia.

00:27:00.040 He might win the Senate seat.

00:27:01.420 John Ossoff came out

00:27:03.160 and he put it

00:27:04.140 in exactly those words.

00:27:05.060 He said,

00:27:05.300 we have to listen to the experts.

00:27:07.360 I think we should follow

00:27:08.420 the expertise

00:27:09.040 of public health experts

00:27:10.200 like those at the CDC,

00:27:11.580 which is based here in Georgia.

00:27:13.020 And if that is the consensus

00:27:14.580 of the public health community,

00:27:16.380 we need to take that advice

00:27:17.520 very seriously.

00:27:18.980 And politicians need 0.94

00:27:19.960 to recognize the limits

00:27:21.220 of our own knowledge

00:27:22.660 and wisdom.

00:27:24.020 Epidemiologists

00:27:24.540 who dedicate their careers

00:27:26.440 and their training

00:27:27.280 to studying the spread

00:27:28.700 of infectious disease

00:27:29.760 are qualified to advise us

00:27:31.440 on the correct

00:27:32.400 mitigation procedures.

00:27:34.040 And the problem

00:27:34.560 we've had all year

00:27:35.620 is that politicians

00:27:36.840 have been suppressing

00:27:37.880 and ignoring

00:27:38.700 public health advice.

00:27:39.840 It's time to trust

00:27:40.820 the experts,

00:27:41.980 listen to public health

00:27:43.120 professionals

00:27:43.680 in a public health crisis.

00:27:44.720 So if they said,

00:27:45.700 shut things down temporarily,

00:27:47.180 you'd be all for it.

00:27:50.060 If the CDC

00:27:51.260 and its leadership

00:27:52.540 gave a strong indication

00:27:54.860 that those kinds

00:27:55.980 of stronger mitigation measures

00:27:57.640 are necessary

00:27:58.220 to save lives

00:27:59.120 and contain the spread

00:27:59.980 of the virus,

00:28:00.740 it would be malpractice

00:28:02.160 for politicians

00:28:03.120 to ignore that advice.

00:28:05.180 It would be malpractice

00:28:07.320 for politicians

00:28:08.720 to ignore the advice

00:28:11.260 of the experts.

00:28:13.900 We have to listen.

00:28:15.100 Now, we've been listening

00:28:15.740 to the experts

00:28:16.240 and the experts

00:28:16.940 have been wrong

00:28:17.420 about everything, right?

00:28:18.200 They haven't done anything right.

00:28:19.020 They haven't gotten

00:28:19.300 any predictions right

00:28:20.040 and they haven't handled

00:28:21.820 the virus particularly well.

00:28:23.740 But he's actually espousing

00:28:25.460 a view of government here,

00:28:26.880 which is that

00:28:28.040 our system requires us

00:28:32.020 to listen to the experts.

00:28:35.740 It doesn't, though.

00:28:37.140 That's the opposite.

00:28:38.020 There are basically

00:28:39.880 two types of government

00:28:41.620 that we've had

00:28:42.100 in the United States.

00:28:42.720 We've had the constitutional order

00:28:44.260 and we've had

00:28:44.880 the progressive order.

00:28:46.360 And at the early part

00:28:47.860 of the 20th century,

00:28:48.780 the progressives,

00:28:49.380 Woodrow Wilson in particular,

00:28:50.800 came out and said,

00:28:51.540 look, this old constitutional order

00:28:52.760 is outdated.

00:28:53.500 You can't govern people like this.

00:28:54.920 So we've actually got to

00:28:56.460 go in and install these experts

00:28:59.920 because they know much better

00:29:01.420 than all of us.

00:29:03.080 It's so perverse.

00:29:04.960 It's so wrong.

00:29:06.260 It's so anti-constitutional

00:29:08.060 to say that.

00:29:09.500 But that's their view.

00:29:11.680 I'll give John Ossoff credit.

00:29:12.820 At least he's not hiding it.

00:29:14.680 This is what you are going to get

00:29:16.880 if the Democrats win in Georgia.

00:29:20.580 Probably you're going to get

00:29:21.460 a whole lot more of it

00:29:22.280 if Joe Biden does ascend

00:29:23.360 to the presidency.

00:29:23.900 But you are guaranteed

00:29:25.280 to get that as your government

00:29:27.160 if Biden ascends to the presidency

00:29:28.600 and the Democrats win in Georgia

00:29:30.800 in those runoff races.

00:29:32.100 We will get into

00:29:33.120 in just a little bit

00:29:34.320 what those races are looking like,

00:29:36.960 including the presidential race,

00:29:38.100 because the Trump campaign

00:29:38.880 keeps showing more irregularities,

00:29:41.420 more statistical impossibilities,

00:29:42.960 more evidence of fraud.

00:29:44.080 And it just doesn't seem to matter.

00:29:45.940 The courts don't seem to be caring

00:29:47.860 and time is running out,

00:29:49.540 as President Trump said yesterday.

00:29:52.140 This is very, very bad news.

00:29:55.820 It makes a lot of us

00:29:56.800 look at the risk around our country,

00:29:59.080 has a lot of us taking stock

00:30:00.840 of what we can do

00:30:02.480 if we do lose these races,

00:30:03.900 if there's any sort of insurance policy

00:30:05.180 that we can have

00:30:06.240 to still defend our government.

00:30:08.100 And at a personal level,

00:30:09.120 we should also have

00:30:09.820 a very good insurance policy.

00:31:59.140 Head on over there,

00:32:00.040 dailywire.com.

00:32:00.620 We'll be right back

00:32:01.180 with a lot more.

00:32:14.380 Lots of doom and gloom,

00:32:15.700 but there is a little bit

00:32:16.600 of a silver lining

00:32:17.360 to the storm cloud,

00:32:18.300 which is we open the show

00:32:20.420 discussing how many people

00:32:23.600 think that men can become women 0.99

00:32:25.360 and women are Volvo owners 0.99

00:32:27.460 and not Volvo owners

00:32:28.760 and how there's no difference

00:32:31.140 between the sexes.

00:32:32.200 Where do people learn

00:32:33.360 that kind of nonsense?

00:32:35.280 Very often they learn that

00:32:36.280 in public school.

00:32:37.340 Kids in a Brooklyn preschool,

00:32:39.500 public preschool,

00:32:40.560 are being taught that children

00:32:43.500 can choose their own sex.

00:32:45.440 I mean, really sick and crazy stuff.

00:32:47.360 So the silver lining

00:32:48.400 to this lockdown

00:32:49.500 is that public school enrollment

00:32:53.000 is down across the country.

00:32:55.960 And that's a very good thing.

00:32:56.820 A lot of people are presenting

00:32:57.600 this as a very bad thing

00:32:58.660 because students are not

00:33:00.300 learning their trigonometry

00:33:01.320 or students are not learning

00:33:02.320 their history or whatever.

00:33:04.520 True, that's bad.

00:33:05.360 We want them to be learning

00:33:06.080 good things,

00:33:06.720 but it's also true

00:33:07.740 that they're not learning

00:33:08.460 gender theory.

00:33:09.200 They're not learning

00:33:09.660 critical race theory.

00:33:10.680 They're not learning

00:33:11.180 the 1619 Project,

00:33:12.660 that anti-historical trash

00:33:14.020 that tries to teach people

00:33:15.060 to hate their own country.

00:33:16.640 They're not learning that too.

00:33:17.520 That's a good thing.

00:33:18.320 It probably comes out

00:33:19.140 in the wash then.

00:33:19.800 Maybe it's actually

00:33:20.440 a net benefit

00:33:21.500 that public school enrollment

00:33:22.900 is down.

00:33:23.800 Massachusetts public schools

00:33:25.440 have seen 37,000 fewer students.

00:33:28.240 That's a 4% decline

00:33:29.340 in enrollment.

00:33:30.280 North Carolina,

00:33:31.080 5% decline in enrollment

00:33:33.260 at the start of the academic year

00:33:35.140 compared to previous years.

00:33:37.000 Now, since then,

00:33:38.120 North Carolina's bounced

00:33:39.120 back a little bit,

00:33:39.740 still down 4% though.

00:33:41.440 Massachusetts specifically,

00:33:43.360 it doesn't go evenly

00:33:44.940 across the ages.

00:33:46.180 So the older students

00:33:47.520 tend to show up

00:33:48.660 for the online class,

00:33:49.940 but for pre-kindergarten,

00:33:51.960 which I didn't even,

00:33:53.180 I wasn't even in.

00:33:54.760 I guess that was the thing

00:33:55.680 when I was a kid,

00:33:56.260 but I did not do

00:33:57.080 a preschool or anything.

00:33:58.680 Now everyone seems

00:33:59.520 to do preschool

00:34:00.100 from the time

00:34:00.600 they're two years old

00:34:01.300 because the state

00:34:02.220 and the establishment

00:34:03.600 wants more time

00:34:04.480 to brainwash your kids.

00:34:06.840 Enrollment for pre-k

00:34:07.720 is down 30%

00:34:08.940 over previous years

00:34:10.100 and enrollment

00:34:10.940 for kindergarten

00:34:11.660 is down 12%.

00:34:13.080 And that's probably

00:34:14.860 a very, very good thing.

00:34:17.320 Kids hopefully

00:34:17.920 are spending more time

00:34:18.540 with their families

00:34:19.120 and they're not being brainwashed

00:34:20.640 at a young age.

00:34:21.340 I would feel better

00:34:23.580 putting an older student,

00:34:26.480 16, 17, 18,

00:34:28.420 into a radical environment

00:34:30.500 than I would

00:34:31.080 putting a six-year-old

00:34:32.320 or a five-year-old

00:34:33.200 or certainly a three-year-old

00:34:34.180 in a radical environment.

00:34:35.440 Why?

00:34:35.880 Because even though

00:34:36.420 16 and 17 and 18-year-olds

00:34:37.860 don't know very much,

00:34:39.660 they certainly know much less

00:34:40.600 than they think they do.

00:34:41.420 I say this as a former

00:34:42.500 16-year-old.

00:34:44.980 At least they have

00:34:45.840 some formation.

00:34:46.700 They have some

00:34:47.520 somewhat developed

00:34:48.940 rational faculties.

00:34:50.240 Three-year-olds,

00:34:50.680 five-year-olds,

00:34:51.560 six-year-olds,

00:34:51.920 they don't.

00:34:53.580 And so they are putty

00:34:54.580 in your hands

00:34:55.400 and they will believe

00:34:56.060 whatever nonsense

00:34:56.660 you teach them.

00:34:57.520 That's a very good thing

00:34:58.380 and I think conservatives,

00:34:59.980 if we want to make

00:35:01.500 lemonade out of lemons here,

00:35:03.280 we should seize

00:35:04.280 on this opportunity

00:35:05.120 to push homeschooling,

00:35:07.020 push school choice,

00:35:08.280 push private schools,

00:35:09.420 in particular push

00:35:10.140 good parochial schools

00:35:11.260 and really try to crack

00:35:14.680 the public schools.

00:35:15.580 Right now,

00:35:15.920 one of the reasons

00:35:16.400 public schools

00:35:16.940 have been slow to open

00:35:18.060 is because the teacher unions

00:35:19.220 want to keep getting paid

00:35:20.420 to do nothing.

00:35:21.240 Teacher unions,

00:35:21.740 one of the big problems

00:35:22.660 in this country.

00:35:24.020 I mean,

00:35:24.500 I'm a product of public school

00:35:26.220 and my best public school teachers

00:35:28.660 hated the union

00:35:29.540 because the union

00:35:30.820 would protect bad teachers

00:35:32.020 and did not reward

00:35:33.720 good teachers on performance.

00:35:34.940 So the really good teachers,

00:35:36.020 I found,

00:35:36.680 hated the teacher unions.

00:35:38.780 Well,

00:35:39.220 this is a good opportunity

00:35:40.160 to tear that apart.

00:35:42.640 There is a lot of discontent

00:35:45.460 brewing in the country.

00:35:47.260 President Trump's election

00:35:48.660 was not the cause

00:35:49.480 of that discontent.

00:35:50.760 It was an effect

00:35:52.640 of that discontent.

00:35:54.200 And what you'll hear

00:35:54.980 from a lot of liberals,

00:35:56.200 especially the kind of

00:35:57.380 neoliberal,

00:35:59.360 you know,

00:35:59.980 Clinton Democrats,

00:36:01.240 I guess Joe Biden

00:36:01.880 represents this view

00:36:02.680 in as much as he believes anything.

00:36:04.440 What they're going to tell you is,

00:36:05.780 look,

00:36:05.920 everybody's so rich

00:36:06.740 and so don't complain

00:36:08.740 about the cultural decay.

00:36:09.720 And oh,

00:36:11.500 you lost your job,

00:36:12.500 factory worker.

00:36:13.340 And oh,

00:36:13.640 you lost your job,

00:36:14.900 person in West Virginia.

00:36:16.540 Okay,

00:36:17.180 well,

00:36:17.400 but on the aggregate,

00:36:18.260 the GDP is up.

00:36:19.180 And that's okay.

00:36:19.640 We'll give you a little more money.

00:36:20.740 We'll give you cheaper electronics

00:36:21.740 that we import from China.

00:36:23.200 Sorry,

00:36:23.460 we took your job,

00:36:24.080 by the way.

00:36:24.820 And so just stop complaining.

00:36:27.300 You've got so much stuff.

00:36:29.060 Don't complain.

00:36:29.800 And you look around,

00:36:30.280 you say,

00:36:30.520 well,

00:36:31.240 I don't know.

00:36:32.960 Marriage rates are way, 0.76

00:36:34.300 way down.

00:36:34.780 They're at historic lows.

00:36:37.200 People are overdosing.

00:36:39.520 at high rates.

00:36:40.400 They're committing suicide

00:36:41.100 at high rates.

00:36:42.800 Happiness,

00:36:43.360 such as it can be measured,

00:36:44.400 is way,

00:36:44.780 way down.

00:36:45.540 Something's wrong,

00:36:47.020 guys.

00:36:47.380 And they'll say,

00:36:47.740 no,

00:36:48.260 never mind.

00:36:49.300 Go back to your apartment,

00:36:50.280 work from home,

00:36:50.860 get on the Zoom call,

00:36:52.320 watch your Netflix,

00:36:53.300 and be happy.

00:36:56.080 The left has not grappled

00:36:57.320 with this fact.

00:36:59.000 The woke left

00:36:59.700 actually has,

00:37:00.860 believe it or not.

00:37:01.100 I want to give some credit

00:37:01.880 to the woke left

00:37:03.060 over,

00:37:03.840 say,

00:37:04.280 the kind of Biden-type left.

00:37:06.640 Because the woke left

00:37:07.980 and the conservatives

00:37:09.240 who use terms like,

00:37:10.260 like red-pilled,

00:37:12.040 right,

00:37:12.460 or,

00:37:12.740 or based even.

00:37:14.080 Here is,

00:37:14.640 you'll,

00:37:15.060 if you,

00:37:15.400 if you chat with the youths

00:37:16.600 every now and again,

00:37:17.260 you'll hear the term based.

00:37:18.600 What does based mean?

00:37:19.940 Well,

00:37:20.560 woke and red-pill

00:37:21.600 are describing basically

00:37:22.780 the same phenomenon,

00:37:23.660 which is waking up

00:37:24.280 out of a dream.

00:37:25.240 Red-pill describing it

00:37:26.120 from the movie The Matrix

00:37:26.980 and woke

00:37:27.840 actually just describing

00:37:29.120 waking up.

00:37:30.260 Even the idea of based,

00:37:31.600 what does based refer to?

00:37:32.740 It's always a sort of

00:37:34.920 a fool's errand

00:37:35.440 to try to give

00:37:36.840 a folk etymology of slang,

00:37:38.760 but I think what based

00:37:40.180 is getting at

00:37:40.940 is the base,

00:37:42.040 the fundament,

00:37:43.180 things that are basic

00:37:44.220 that we,

00:37:45.480 in our convoluted ideology,

00:37:47.160 have ignored

00:37:47.680 because we've been living

00:37:48.500 in the clouds

00:37:49.160 and this ethereal abstract realm

00:37:51.380 where we concoct

00:37:52.560 a theoretical society

00:37:53.620 that doesn't have much

00:37:54.400 to do with reality.

00:37:55.540 And what based is describing

00:37:57.280 is something like,

00:37:57.940 no,

00:37:58.720 get yourself out of the clouds,

00:38:00.820 get back into reality

00:38:02.040 and see what's actually

00:38:02.980 going on in this world.

00:38:04.500 All of those groups

00:38:05.600 are describing this

00:38:07.160 and it's just the kind of

00:38:08.780 abstract idiots 0.73

00:38:10.540 in the middle

00:38:11.080 who don't really see

00:38:12.020 what's going on.

00:38:12.940 Michael Steele,

00:38:13.720 who is a liberal Republican,

00:38:15.040 former head of the

00:38:15.740 Republican National Committee,

00:38:17.200 goes on all the liberal

00:38:18.060 shows all the time.

00:38:19.280 He actually,

00:38:20.040 to his credit,

00:38:20.680 made this point

00:38:21.640 as he's attacking

00:38:22.900 Donald Trump on MSNBC.

00:38:24.680 He said,

00:38:25.000 you know,

00:38:25.120 it's not Trump's fault.

00:38:26.900 A lot of people

00:38:27.640 are angry in this country.

00:38:29.660 It was beneath the surface.

00:38:30.820 It has been there

00:38:31.580 for a long time.

00:38:32.620 This overwhelming sense

00:38:35.540 of mistrust

00:38:36.560 of our institutions

00:38:38.160 and our executive

00:38:41.340 and political leadership.

00:38:44.980 It's been there.

00:38:46.380 We've seen it.

00:38:47.280 It manifests itself

00:38:48.320 during my watch

00:38:49.220 at the RNC.

00:38:50.320 It was in place

00:38:51.100 during the Bush years.

00:38:52.680 It goes back

00:38:53.340 to Newt Gingrich's

00:38:54.860 uprising

00:38:55.440 in the House

00:38:57.060 of Representatives

00:38:57.820 back in 1994

00:38:59.980 and even before that.

00:39:02.580 So what Donald Trump

00:39:04.220 was able to do

00:39:05.040 was to give it legitimacy,

00:39:07.420 to give it voice,

00:39:08.480 to give it actual voice

00:39:10.000 in the body

00:39:10.920 of the president,

00:39:12.540 in the body

00:39:13.380 of the presidency.

00:39:15.040 And I think

00:39:15.480 we have to understand

00:39:16.580 that this is so,

00:39:18.860 so much less

00:39:19.800 the work of the Mad King

00:39:21.340 than the Mad King

00:39:22.780 actually reflecting

00:39:24.000 his mad people.

00:39:26.480 And by that I mean

00:39:27.720 angry, frustrated,

00:39:29.760 suffering victimhood

00:39:31.340 and all of that.

00:39:32.500 I'm glad he clarified there

00:39:33.960 because when you see

00:39:34.620 the headline,

00:39:35.200 Michael Steele says

00:39:36.080 the Mad King

00:39:36.700 reflects his mad people.

00:39:37.900 You think of the other

00:39:38.860 sense of that word,

00:39:39.780 the more precise sense,

00:39:40.640 which is when you're mad,

00:39:41.360 it means you're crazy. 0.54

00:39:42.400 You're insane.

00:39:43.320 But he clarifies.

00:39:44.200 He says,

00:39:44.420 I'm not saying they're insane.

00:39:46.080 I'm saying they're angry.

00:39:47.400 They're frustrated.

00:39:48.460 They're upset.

00:39:48.840 They have legitimately

00:39:49.600 been victimized.

00:39:51.400 Michael Steele comes

00:39:52.140 from a much more liberal

00:39:53.220 wing of the Republican Party.

00:39:54.960 He endorsed Joe Biden

00:39:55.900 for goodness sakes.

00:39:57.280 But he recognizes

00:39:58.320 that that's real

00:39:58.940 and it's not from Trump.

00:40:00.540 It's not even just

00:40:01.500 from the Obama era.

00:40:02.660 It's not even just

00:40:03.320 from the Bush era.

00:40:04.200 It goes back to Newt Gingrich

00:40:05.340 and actually it goes back

00:40:07.060 further than that.

00:40:08.520 Why?

00:40:09.680 Why is everybody so mad?

00:40:12.300 Is it because they're mad?

00:40:13.740 Are they angry

00:40:14.580 because they're insane?

00:40:16.340 Or do they have

00:40:17.240 a legitimate grievance?

00:40:19.900 I strongly suspect

00:40:21.960 they have legitimate grievances.

00:40:24.160 You know,

00:40:24.440 H.L. Mencken said

00:40:25.700 democracy is the theory

00:40:27.380 that the common people

00:40:28.160 know what they want

00:40:28.840 and that they deserve

00:40:29.540 to get it good and hard.

00:40:31.080 The idea that

00:40:31.860 our elected officials,

00:40:33.240 if they're elected legitimately,

00:40:34.940 our elected officials

00:40:35.880 actually reflect who we are.

00:40:37.500 You always complain

00:40:37.980 about politicians.

00:40:38.700 Well, the politicians

00:40:39.220 are a reflection

00:40:39.880 of the demos,

00:40:41.840 you know,

00:40:42.020 of the people

00:40:42.860 in a democracy,

00:40:45.720 assuming that the democracy

00:40:47.380 is functioning properly.

00:40:49.360 Nicole Wallace

00:40:49.940 on MSNBC

00:40:50.620 during the same interview

00:40:51.620 refuses to give

00:40:53.480 Michael Steele this point

00:40:54.620 and specifically

00:40:55.180 on the case

00:40:56.060 of election fraud

00:40:57.860 or an illegitimate election

00:41:00.280 in 2020.

00:41:01.440 She says it's crazy

00:41:02.940 and Republicans

00:41:03.520 have no legitimate reason

00:41:05.340 to be upset.

00:41:06.780 The reality is

00:41:07.700 there was no fraud.

00:41:08.620 There are no ongoing appeals.

00:41:10.160 Republicans are saying

00:41:11.340 gobbledygook.

00:41:12.360 None of that is real.

00:41:13.680 It's just a man 0.99

00:41:14.820 who cannot come to grips

00:41:16.320 with the fact

00:41:17.020 that he lost decisively.

00:41:18.600 I understand the how.

00:41:20.920 What I don't understand

00:41:21.760 is the why

00:41:22.360 because this isn't just,

00:41:23.720 you know,

00:41:24.280 an anti-elite worldview,

00:41:27.000 stick it to the mainstream media.

00:41:29.500 They're out to get us.

00:41:30.460 This is a lie.

00:41:31.760 It is a lie.

00:41:32.960 And I don't understand

00:41:34.220 why Roy Blunt

00:41:36.520 goes along with the lie.

00:41:38.060 I don't understand

00:41:38.840 why Asa Hutchinson says,

00:41:41.080 ah, we've got to let this play out.

00:41:42.760 There's nothing to play out.

00:41:44.640 Judges appointed

00:41:45.400 by Democratic

00:41:46.020 and Republican presidents

00:41:47.900 have thrown every lawsuit out.

00:41:50.380 Kelly Loeffler said

00:41:51.960 that we have to let

00:41:53.140 the investigation finish.

00:41:55.120 There is no investigation.

00:41:56.600 There was no fraud,

00:41:57.660 no widespread fraud,

00:41:58.880 no foreign conspiracy.

00:42:00.060 There was no fraud.

00:42:01.280 The recounts

00:42:02.060 have turned up votes

00:42:03.180 that are by and large

00:42:05.460 exactly in line

00:42:06.580 with the vote on Election Day.

00:42:08.020 So I understand the how

00:42:10.180 and I understand

00:42:10.900 that longstanding

00:42:11.960 institutional distrust.

00:42:13.760 I don't understand the why.

00:42:15.040 Why are Republicans

00:42:16.280 willing to sell their soul

00:42:18.260 for a big lie?

00:42:19.700 I don't understand.

00:42:20.820 I don't understand.

00:42:21.540 There's a lot

00:42:22.340 that Nicole Wallace

00:42:23.260 does not understand.

00:42:24.740 She says,

00:42:25.100 there's no fraud.

00:42:25.820 There's no fraud.

00:42:26.380 Well, just repeating

00:42:27.240 that silly phrase

00:42:28.640 is not going to make it so.

00:42:30.540 They shut down

00:42:31.260 the counting of the votes

00:42:32.300 on election night.

00:42:33.120 There was no reason for that

00:42:34.200 if everything was above board.

00:42:35.660 They refused,

00:42:36.640 especially in Philadelphia,

00:42:38.360 they refused

00:42:38.960 to allow Republican poll watchers

00:42:41.540 in even after

00:42:42.200 there was a court order.

00:42:43.080 If there was no fraud,

00:42:44.180 there was no reason

00:42:44.720 to do any of that.

00:42:45.740 They invented in Georgia 1.00

00:42:47.020 some wild story

00:42:48.940 about a pipe bursting

00:42:49.860 and that's why

00:42:50.220 they had to send

00:42:50.620 all the poll counters home.

00:42:51.720 Not true.

00:42:52.420 That turns out

00:42:52.960 to have been a complete lie.

00:42:54.520 They said they were going

00:42:55.060 to stop counting at 1030.

00:42:56.220 They sent the poll watchers home 0.83

00:42:57.180 and they kept counting

00:42:57.660 until past one in the morning.

00:43:00.000 If there was no fraud,

00:43:00.840 there's no reason

00:43:01.820 to worry about that.

00:43:03.780 There were whole thumb drives,

00:43:05.760 you know,

00:43:05.880 little drives of votes

00:43:06.780 that went missing,

00:43:07.520 batches and batches,

00:43:08.380 thousands and thousands

00:43:09.220 that showed up

00:43:10.320 that had first gone missing.

00:43:13.440 If there was no fraud,

00:43:14.500 it's very difficult

00:43:15.160 to explain

00:43:15.760 all of those votes

00:43:16.760 going missing.

00:43:17.820 There were whole batches

00:43:19.580 of votes that came in

00:43:20.500 with statistical improbabilities,

00:43:22.260 impossibilities for Joe Biden,

00:43:23.720 99.4% for Biden

00:43:25.100 in some drops.

00:43:27.140 If there was no fraud,

00:43:27.980 very difficult to explain that.

00:43:29.400 Now, is that enough fraud

00:43:30.500 to swing the election?

00:43:31.480 I don't know.

00:43:32.400 The Trump team

00:43:32.920 has not apparently

00:43:33.820 made that case yet

00:43:34.740 in a way

00:43:35.640 that has convinced any judges.

00:43:37.720 But don't sit there

00:43:38.660 and tell me

00:43:39.100 that there's no evidence

00:43:40.740 of fraud.

00:43:41.280 That's completely ridiculous.

00:43:43.080 The question is,

00:43:43.940 is it enough

00:43:44.300 to swing the election?

00:43:45.120 And even if it were,

00:43:46.020 would the judges

00:43:46.880 actually swing that election?

00:43:49.760 I love it when the left,

00:43:51.020 which by and large

00:43:52.020 does not believe

00:43:52.660 in the existence

00:43:53.360 of the soul,

00:43:54.660 by and large,

00:43:55.600 they don't believe

00:43:55.980 in the existence

00:43:56.500 of the spiritual component

00:43:57.480 of man.

00:43:57.840 They think we're all

00:43:58.300 just vulva owners 0.90

00:43:59.360 and owners of other appendages,

00:44:01.440 right?

00:44:01.680 That we're not even

00:44:02.400 spiritual creatures.

00:44:03.220 They say,

00:44:03.560 you're selling your soul.

00:44:05.160 You've gone over

00:44:05.880 to the devil.

00:44:06.440 People who don't believe

00:44:07.060 in the devil,

00:44:08.320 people who don't believe

00:44:08.960 in the soul,

00:44:10.120 tell us that.

00:44:11.520 They don't understand

00:44:12.540 what they're saying

00:44:13.200 and they certainly

00:44:14.280 don't understand

00:44:14.840 what they don't understand.

00:44:15.780 There was a hearing

00:44:16.360 yesterday in Arizona

00:44:17.400 on this question

00:44:19.300 of fraud.

00:44:20.340 Matt Brainard,

00:44:21.240 who's former data chief

00:44:22.220 and strategist

00:44:22.880 for the Trump campaign,

00:44:24.200 presented his case

00:44:25.340 for what he viewed

00:44:27.880 to be major anomalies

00:44:30.260 in the vote counting.

00:44:31.860 Take a listen.

00:44:32.280 I would say

00:44:33.900 there's two levels

00:44:35.820 of confidence I have.

00:44:37.400 The first level

00:44:38.400 of confidence is very.

00:44:40.060 And I'm very confident

00:44:41.260 that we get very close

00:44:42.700 to that number

00:44:43.360 when we take

00:44:45.700 the residency issues

00:44:47.580 and then apply it

00:44:48.760 to the other counties

00:44:49.780 for which we weren't

00:44:50.540 able to obtain data.

00:44:53.000 The second level

00:44:53.840 of confidence

00:44:54.340 is where you take

00:44:55.980 a number of projection.

00:44:58.000 We go back out

00:44:58.680 to low activity analysis

00:45:00.160 and NCO analysis,

00:45:01.920 which I'm not going

00:45:02.560 to get in the weeds,

00:45:03.020 but these are basically

00:45:03.680 people telling us

00:45:04.500 that they had votes,

00:45:06.880 that they didn't cast votes

00:45:08.420 that were cast in their name.

00:45:09.680 If you're comfortable

00:45:10.820 projecting these numbers

00:45:12.220 to the population

00:45:13.580 that we were trying

00:45:14.300 to reach via phone

00:45:15.080 that we just couldn't,

00:45:16.460 I think then you reach

00:45:17.300 another level of certainty

00:45:18.260 that you're able

00:45:18.800 to bridge that gap.

00:45:21.180 So I think that the,

00:45:22.760 I have a high degree

00:45:24.120 of confidence

00:45:24.620 that the number of ballots

00:45:25.680 that were cast

00:45:26.340 that should not have been cast,

00:45:27.520 illegal ballots,

00:45:28.720 surpasses the margin

00:45:29.940 of victory

00:45:30.400 as it stands right now.

00:45:31.920 And there's the line.

00:45:32.980 He's confident,

00:45:34.240 his former data chief

00:45:35.340 is confident

00:45:35.940 that the number

00:45:36.540 of illegal ballots

00:45:37.420 surpasses the margin

00:45:38.660 of victory for Joe Biden.

00:45:40.200 Does that mean

00:45:41.000 that Joe Biden won?

00:45:42.460 I don't know.

00:45:43.180 We do need to be able

00:45:44.340 to prove that,

00:45:45.080 you know,

00:45:45.460 and unfortunately,

00:45:47.420 judges are not accepting 0.97

00:45:48.740 these sorts of arguments

00:45:49.760 right now.

00:45:50.880 And time is running out

00:45:52.460 for President Trump

00:45:53.220 to prove that.

00:45:55.200 Now,

00:45:55.820 people who continue,

00:45:57.820 such as myself,

00:45:59.000 who refuse to concede

00:46:00.600 this election

00:46:01.120 and who discourage

00:46:02.260 President Trump

00:46:02.820 from conceding the election yet

00:46:04.000 and who say the process

00:46:05.060 needs to play out,

00:46:06.980 those people who haven't

00:46:08.400 given in to the left yet

00:46:09.520 are being castigated

00:46:11.220 as fanciful,

00:46:12.760 as liars,

00:46:13.740 as irresponsible,

00:46:14.960 as not putting

00:46:16.120 the country first.

00:46:17.520 Give me a break.

00:46:18.560 Give me a break.

00:46:19.740 Nothing about permitting

00:46:22.200 large evidence of corruption

00:46:25.240 to go away in the shadows

00:46:28.100 and not be discussed.

00:46:29.960 Nothing about that

00:46:30.520 is good for the country.

00:46:32.120 Nothing about ignoring

00:46:33.000 our constitutional

00:46:33.920 and legal processes

00:46:34.960 because the media

00:46:36.980 want Joe Biden

00:46:37.980 to be called

00:46:38.400 the president-elect today

00:46:39.680 before the electors vote.

00:46:41.160 Nothing about that

00:46:42.040 is good for the country.

00:46:43.920 And if there are

00:46:44.380 political consequences

00:46:45.520 for having a spine,

00:46:47.200 so be it.

00:46:47.840 That's actually the point

00:46:48.380 Rudy Giuliani made yesterday

00:46:49.540 during the hearing.

00:46:50.740 He said,

00:46:51.300 yeah,

00:46:51.440 there might be

00:46:51.900 some political consequences.

00:46:53.560 This is worth consequences.

00:46:55.900 And I'm going to ask you

00:46:57.080 to fight.

00:46:58.560 And I'm going to ask you

00:46:59.440 to try to implore

00:47:00.420 the other members

00:47:01.280 of your legislature

00:47:02.080 to stand up to this.

00:47:03.860 Do not be bullied.

00:47:05.200 Do not be frightened.

00:47:06.780 Your political career

00:47:07.980 is worth losing

00:47:09.680 if you can save

00:47:10.960 the right to vote in America.

00:47:12.520 In fact,

00:47:12.880 I may get you a...

00:47:13.700 In fact,

00:47:22.140 I can get you a chapter

00:47:23.220 in Profiles in Courage

00:47:25.060 if you do that.

00:47:27.440 Because at times

00:47:28.320 in our history,

00:47:28.940 certain men and women

00:47:29.600 have stepped forward

00:47:30.380 and lost their political career

00:47:33.140 to give us the rights

00:47:34.320 that we have.

00:47:35.720 That's absolutely right.

00:47:38.000 That's not to say

00:47:38.940 that people should have

00:47:39.680 false hope

00:47:40.400 or that people should

00:47:41.440 act imprudently.

00:47:42.780 Or, you know,

00:47:43.080 some people say

00:47:43.880 they're not going to vote

00:47:45.460 in the Georgia Senate races

00:47:47.160 or they're going to vote

00:47:48.000 right in a candidate

00:47:49.420 or something

00:47:49.920 because they're so angry.

00:47:51.040 I don't think

00:47:51.720 you should be angry.

00:47:52.460 I don't think

00:47:52.660 you should be rash.

00:47:53.360 I don't think

00:47:53.660 you should be imprudent.

00:47:54.540 I don't think

00:47:54.820 you should punch your nose

00:47:55.600 to spite your face.

00:47:57.940 Some people are suggesting,

00:47:59.220 well, if the Georgia race

00:47:59.940 was stolen

00:48:00.380 and they'll steal it again.

00:48:01.360 Okay, well,

00:48:01.920 that's not an excuse

00:48:02.800 not to try.

00:48:04.000 It's not an excuse

00:48:04.580 not to fight.

00:48:06.320 Likewise, however,

00:48:07.300 the seriousness

00:48:08.520 of the Georgia Senate race,

00:48:10.960 races,

00:48:11.920 is not an argument

00:48:13.620 for giving up,

00:48:16.020 giving in,

00:48:16.660 going weak-kneed

00:48:17.380 before we have to.

00:48:19.340 The electors

00:48:20.220 are going to vote

00:48:20.680 on the 14th.

00:48:21.500 That's the constitutional process.

00:48:23.060 We'll see how this turns out then.

00:48:24.360 It's two weeks away.

00:48:25.420 What can happen in two weeks?

00:48:27.020 Are things looking good

00:48:28.040 for the Trump team?

00:48:29.180 No, they're not.

00:48:30.440 Is it very likely

00:48:31.820 that the electors

00:48:32.760 will give it to Biden

00:48:34.640 and that Biden

00:48:35.160 will be sworn in in January?

00:48:36.480 I suppose it is.

00:48:38.180 Okay.

00:48:38.800 We can look at the world

00:48:39.900 with clear eyes.

00:48:41.660 We can look at,

00:48:42.400 with reality

00:48:43.160 and we can still have courage

00:48:44.660 and we can still refuse

00:48:46.120 to bend the knee

00:48:46.740 before we have to

00:48:47.600 at the very least.

00:48:49.160 We can still stand up

00:48:50.420 for the legal

00:48:51.180 and constitutional processes.

00:48:53.400 A lot of people out here

00:48:54.400 want to convince you

00:48:56.320 that reality

00:48:56.960 is not the way that it is

00:48:58.260 and that political fights

00:49:02.480 are different than they are

00:49:03.480 and that men are women

00:49:04.320 and women are men.

00:49:05.600 Don't do that.

00:49:06.440 Take a look at reality.

00:49:07.700 There's nothing scary.

00:49:08.560 There's nothing wrong.

00:49:09.300 There's nothing vile

00:49:10.820 or evil about,

00:49:11.760 about living according

00:49:13.080 to reality

00:49:13.680 and exercising courage,

00:49:14.920 which is not just a virtue.

00:49:15.840 It's the prerequisite

00:49:16.960 for all of the other virtues.

00:50:30.780 Did you know that over 85%

00:50:32.300 of grass-fed beef

00:50:33.140 sold in U.S. grocery stores

00:50:34.500 is imported?

00:50:35.900 That's why I buy all my meat

00:50:37.320 from GoodRanchers.com instead.

00:50:39.540 Good Ranchers products

00:50:40.320 are 100% born, raised,

00:50:41.980 and harvested right here in the USA

00:50:43.600 from local family farms.

00:50:45.140 Plus, there's no antibiotics ever,

00:50:47.320 no added hormones,

00:50:48.240 and no seed oils.
