The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 668 - Hierarchy And Hypocrisy

00:00:00.000 We have a vaccine for the coronavirus, and now all we need to do is figure out

00:00:05.440 who gets the vaccine. It should be pretty easy, right? Because we know that older people are 1.00

00:00:12.600 more vulnerable to the virus. Younger people basically don't have much risk of death for

00:00:17.320 the virus. So you just give it to them based on age. No. The New York Times has a different idea

00:00:22.300 in an article titled, The Elderly Versus Essential Workers, Who Should Get the Coronavirus Vaccine

00:00:27.620 First. The New York Times' brilliant idea, backed up by public health experts, is to give it to

00:00:35.580 non-white people rather than white people because the white people don't deserve the vaccine. I kid 0.96

00:00:42.220 you not. This from Mark Lipsitch, an infectious disease epidemiologist at Harvard, says teachers

00:00:50.840 should not be considered essential workers if the goal of the committee is to reduce health

00:00:56.740 inequities. Quote, teachers have middle class salaries, are very often white, and they have

00:01:03.680 college degrees. You know, they should be treated good and everything, but you know, not like other

00:01:08.020 other workers. You know, they're white. They don't, they don't deserve to live. Next one from, what's 1.00

00:01:14.920 this guy's name? From Harold Schmidt, an expert in ethics, ethics and health policy at the University

00:01:21.620 of Pennsylvania, says that it is reasonable to put essential workers ahead of older adults

00:01:26.040 because, not because the workers are essential, not because the jobs they're doing are so essential,

00:01:31.360 which is a morally dubious question at best, but because, quote, older populations are whiter.

00:01:40.040 Society is structured in a way that enables them to live longer. Instead of giving additional health

00:01:45.600 benefits to those who already had more of them, we can start to level the playing field a bit.

00:01:51.860 So, how do we determine who gets the coronavirus vaccine? We need to kill all the white people. 1.00

00:01:58.380 According to the left, the time for unity and healing involves killing off disfavored races, 1.00

00:02:05.740 and the craziest part of it is, it's not just the New York Times that thinks that. It's not just

00:02:10.840 radical leftists in the media. That is the argument coming straight out of the CDC.

00:02:16.380 Welcome to the New American Cast System. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show.

00:02:26.940 Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment from Friday from Jimmy Hartman,

00:02:30.720 who says, this is the proper response to eternal lockdowns. One, don't close your business. Two,

00:02:37.320 don't wear a mask. Three, don't pay the fine. Four, do not live in fear. Completely right. The only

00:02:44.740 qualifier I'll put on that is, if you have to live in fear at all, it will be in fear of the government 1.00

00:02:50.880 forcing these stupid things on you. Because 99.7% chance you're going to be fine if you get the 1.00

00:02:58.700 coronavirus, but you have a much lower chance of being okay if the government comes after you

00:03:04.080 for not submitting to their capricious rules. Rand Paul had a great medical, scientific,

00:03:10.220 and political discussion of these masks over the weekend. You know, we will, we will remember back

00:03:16.240 to those halcyon days of 10 or 11 months ago before we all had to cover up our faces in public

00:03:23.320 and rarely go into public because we're locked up in our homes. 15 days to slow the spread,

00:03:28.200 the longest 15 days of my entire life. Can you even remember all that way back?

00:03:33.920 Well, if you want to remember those wonderful memories, you should get a legacy box. Legacy

00:03:38.300 box is an effortless way to have your aging tapes, films, and photos digitally preserved in a modern

00:03:44.380 format so that they are safe for generations. So many of us have these irreplaceable moments

00:03:50.000 on tapes and film reels that we can no longer watch. Your home movies have become like a time

00:03:56.580 capsule. Legacy box can help you open it, restore all those important moments, keep them organized

00:04:01.620 and safe for the future because they will deteriorate if you keep them on those old

00:04:04.940 media. I tell you this, it's very sad to me. A beloved family member who died, I just had all

00:04:12.960 the physical photos. I lost them. And this was before I had legacy box. So the first thing I did

00:04:17.120 when legacy, when I learned about legacy box, I sent them in, mailed them in. I got my physical

00:04:21.700 media back. I got them digitized. I can have those memories forever. Right now, legacy box is offering

00:04:25.880 50% off so you can have everything preserved at once for a fraction of the regular price.

00:04:31.480 Once you have these digital versions, you can relax knowing that they will be secure for

00:04:35.580 generations. It's last minute, I know, but you can still get the most meaningful gift

00:04:39.180 for Christmas. Head on over right now, legacybox.com slash Knowles. Take advantage of this limited time

00:04:44.960 offer, 50% off. Then use their kit, send it in whenever you're ready, legacybox.com slash Knowles,

00:04:51.260 K-N-A-W-L-E-S, save 50% while supplies last. I'm looking at my hands and my arm. I don't know if

00:05:01.600 I'm entitled to get the coronavirus vaccine. I think I'm technically white. I, because of my 1.00

00:05:07.720 Southern Italian ancestry, Sicilian, I'm a little swarthier, you know, maybe this will bump me a 0.99

00:05:13.340 little further up the line to get the vaccine because the vaccine now is not going to be given

00:05:18.260 out based on your age. It's not going to be given out based on your risk factors for catching this

00:05:24.020 virus. It's not even going to be given out based on your professional risk factors. It's going to

00:05:28.760 be given out whether you're in a favored race or a disfavored race. And according to the New York

00:05:35.600 Times, if you're white, according to these public health experts at Harvard, at all of these elite 0.98

00:05:41.000 institutions, if you're white, you don't deserve the vaccine. And the premise here is that you're all, 0.98

00:05:45.840 we're all going to die from coronavirus. It's so super duper dangerous that you got to lock

00:05:49.620 yourself in your room. We have to wait for the vaccine. So what they are saying, the experts and

00:05:54.040 the media, they're saying that if you're white, you deserve to die. You don't, you don't be, because 1.00

00:06:00.380 of historical injustice, that's the catch all phrase, you don't deserve to have this life-saving

00:06:07.000 vaccine. I have questions about how deadly the virus really is. We were told initially that,

00:06:14.460 you know, this was extraordinarily deadly. Then we have studies that show 99.7% survival rate. So

00:06:18.960 got questions about that. Got some questions about the vaccine. But nonetheless, according to

00:06:22.340 their premise, that is the new American caste system. And the CDC is backing it up. According

00:06:27.940 to the Daily Mail, the CDC has, quote, advised states to consider ethnic minorities as a critical

00:06:33.680 and vulnerable group in their vaccine distribution plans. This is already in effect. Half of the nation

00:06:39.180 states have, have plans that prioritize black, Hispanic, and indigenous residents over white

00:06:44.680 people in some way as the vaccine rolls out. According to the Daily Mail's analysis, 25 states

00:06:51.120 have committed to focus on racial and ethnic communities. But only, obviously, not all,

00:06:56.940 everyone has a race, everyone has an ethnicity. So only some favored racial and ethnic communities

00:07:01.880 as they decide which groups should be prioritized in receiving a coronavirus vaccine dose. This is

00:07:07.940 absolutely disgusting. This is against the law. This is criminal. The people who are putting this into

00:07:13.060 effect should be brought up on charges for it. It's absolutely outrageous. They won't be because

00:07:19.000 no matter how much you hear the left talk about color blindness, racial justice, racial equality,

00:07:25.620 they don't want that at all. What they want is a sort of what you would call inverted racism. It's

00:07:32.900 just racism. It's just bigotry that disfavors white people and Asian people who now, by the way, for

00:07:39.120 many institutions are being counted as white people. I don't know how they, they had that 1.00

00:07:44.640 unfavorable title foist upon them, but that's where we stand. And they would favor other races.

00:07:50.500 Now, this is so disgusting. This is so vile and anti-American that the CDC is walking this back.

00:07:58.460 So after the hubbub over all of this, they said that, okay, now Americans over 75 should be able

00:08:06.280 to get the vaccine along with the essential frontline workers and the favored races,

00:08:10.600 which is an improvement, I suppose, but it's still not enough. We know that people who are 65 to 75

00:08:15.440 are at a higher risk than frontline workers generally. But if you're 65 to 75 and you're white,

00:08:22.860 then you're, you're not permitted to get it. According to these reports, according to the CDC,

00:08:28.000 does not fully address the issue. Now, it's very easy to say that this is hypocrisy,

00:08:34.960 right? And I think most of the conservative criticism of these disgusting policies is that 0.67

00:08:39.540 it's hypocrisy. It's actually not hypocrisy. To use a phrase from the great Harvard law professor, 0.70

00:08:45.020 Adrian Vermeule, when the left does all these kinds of crazy things, it's not hypocrisy. It's hierarchy.

00:08:52.980 The left, you know, we always talk about, well, the tolerant left or well, you know, the race blind 1.00

00:08:57.700 left or whatever. When I listen to leftists today, they don't really talk about tolerance all the

00:09:04.380 time, at least not in the way we understand it. They're not really talking about racial equality

00:09:07.740 in the way that conservatives would talk about it. They are actively coming out and saying, no,

00:09:11.940 we need to prioritize certain favored groups over other favored groups. We don't want equality.

00:09:18.580 We don't want fairness. We want a kind of reverse caste system for the alleged historical injustices.

00:09:28.500 That's, that isn't hypocrisy. To, to give the devils their due, to give the leftists their due,

00:09:34.900 they are explicitly saying, yeah, white people have had too many advantages. So now we're going to 0.90

00:09:41.940 that you've got this vaccine that we're all telling you is very, very important to get.

00:09:45.460 Well, you're not getting it too bad. That's because of your race. Now the CDC is walking 0.57

00:09:51.540 this back because it's just too far, even for, for where the country is right now. But all it is

00:09:56.740 doing is testing the limits of ideology, right? All it's doing is seeing how far can we push

00:10:04.180 our racial grievance sort of politics. I was over the weekend, I was at TP USA. It was,

00:10:09.860 I think the largest, not just the largest conservative gathering in America. There

00:10:13.720 were about 1,600, 2,000 students there in the room. This is the largest gathering on earth right

00:10:18.940 now. They are standing athwart these lockdowns and yelling stop. But we were, we were discussing

00:10:26.260 kind of the, how far this sort of thing is going to go. And it's, they're, they're going to keep

00:10:33.620 pushing and pushing this idea until someone says, stop. You always hear about questions of reparations

00:10:39.300 or racial justice or whatever. How can we finally correct the wrongs of the past? First of all,

00:10:45.620 you can never write the wrongs of the past because they go all the way back to the Garden

00:10:48.220 of Eden. But second of all, let's just say you could, let's say we have a reparations program

00:10:53.080 and you could figure out exactly who deserves to get the money and exactly who deserves to pay the

00:10:57.440 money, which is virtually impossible, but just for the sake of argument, let's go with it. And

00:11:02.520 you, you could arrange this and then that will correct the, the racial injustices. Okay,

00:11:06.840 fine. Give me a number. Give me a number. What's the amount of money? I'll pay it.

00:11:13.560 Assuming I can pay if we can solve, that solves all the problems once and for all. Great. Give

00:11:17.480 me a number. I'll write a check and give me a date. Give me an end date. Cause I want to know

00:11:22.360 if we're going to correct the injustice by forcing certain groups to pay more and other groups to do,

00:11:27.300 to have fewer rights and whatever. Okay, fine. Give me the end date and the amount of money and then

00:11:32.600 we'll solve it and then we can move on and we'll all be happy, right? There is no end date.

00:11:36.060 There is no amount of money. It's a lie. It's a total lie to create a new hierarchy.

00:11:44.280 Conservatives don't want there to be a racial hierarchy, right? We want to say, yes, we're all

00:11:48.760 Americans. We're all going to, the left is, has a different idea. Now I'm not too worried about the

00:11:56.980 vaccine thing because I don't intend to get the vaccine because I'm a young, healthy person and I

00:12:00.880 don't see any reason that I should. I think most of the experts feel this way too. The only people I

00:12:07.460 think who believe in these kinds of the necessity of these lockdowns and canceling Christmas and

00:12:12.520 canceling Thanksgiving and, and not seeing your family. I think the only people who believe that

00:12:17.320 are gullible liberals. The experts themselves are flouting their own rules. We saw it with Pelosi.

00:12:25.180 We saw it with Fauci. We saw it with Gavin Newsom. We saw it with Cuomo. We saw it with the other

00:12:31.620 Cuomo. We saw it with everyone in our public health sector on the political side and on the scientific

00:12:37.520 side. And now I'm sorry to say it's even come down to Dr. Scarf, Dr. Deborah Birx. She was considered the

00:12:47.060 slightly better version of Anthony Fauci. Turns out Dr. Scarf has been flouting her own rules. I 0.98

00:12:55.320 thought she was the one public health expert that we could maybe rely on. You know, I was,

00:13:00.420 thought she was the one who was really just dedicated to serious thought, not to these kinds

00:13:05.840 of political games. Unfortunately, that's not, not the case. Not, not much of a pure thinker. If you want

00:13:11.580 to be a thinker though, you got to check out Thinker. In our fast paced world, you know, it's very

00:13:15.140 difficult to make reading a priority. At least it used to be. At thinker.org, they summarize the key

00:13:21.540 ideas from new and noteworthy nonfiction. They give you access to an entire library of great books

00:13:27.560 in bite-sized form. You can read or listen to hundreds of titles in a matter of minutes from

00:13:32.780 old classics like Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People to recent bestsellers

00:13:37.280 like Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life. Thinker offers a huge variety of titles from across a ton of

00:13:43.500 different categories. Current affairs, politics, business, education, history, relationships.

00:13:48.140 You'll even find titles from our very own Ben Shapiro, Right Side of History, or Matt Walsh,

00:13:53.740 The Unholy Trinity. But it doesn't just stop there. Maybe they'll have my book with words when it comes

00:13:59.660 out, which won't be too long from now. It's very tough, you know, in, in this time to make, uh, the,

00:14:05.460 the free time to read, but you really have to. One, because you want to challenge your

00:14:09.980 preconceptions. Two, because you want to expand your horizons. And three, this is most important

00:14:14.220 because you want to sound smart at cocktail parties. Go to Thinker, T-H-I-N-K-R.org. No E,

00:14:20.120 no time for that. Start a free trial and download the app today. Let them know that you heard about

00:14:25.080 them on The Michael Knowles Show. That is Thinker.org. So right before Thanksgiving, Dr. Scarf warned

00:14:34.380 Americans to be vigilant. Limit celebrations to your immediate household. Then the day after

00:14:44.060 Thanksgiving, do you know what Dr. Scarf did? She went to her home on Fenwick Island in Delaware

00:14:51.560 and she didn't go alone. She was accompanied by three generations of the Scarf family.

00:14:57.580 Uh, it was Dr. Birx, uh, her husband, uh, daughter, son-in-law, two grandchildren, all present.

00:15:09.180 There are lockdown rules for thee, but not for me. That is how all of these guys have been treating it.

00:15:17.220 And when Dr. Scarf was called out for this, she responded, I can't, this is the perfect response.

00:15:22.400 She goes, I did not go to Delaware for the purpose of celebrating Thanksgiving.

00:15:27.580 Yeah. You went for the purpose of celebrating the day after Thanksgiving as if Thanksgiving day,

00:15:33.140 that's the only day that the virus is dangerous because the virus, not only can it discern between

00:15:37.940 political ideologies, not only does it know not to infect people at BLM rallies, but definitely to

00:15:43.680 infect people at anti-lockdown conservative rallies. Not only does it know not to affect people at left

00:15:49.440 wing riots, but definitely to infect people at churches. But moreover, it knows Thanksgiving day.

00:15:56.260 That's when we're going to infect everybody. But day after Thanksgiving, look, the, the virus,

00:16:00.400 just like all of us, it's full, it's stuffed. It doesn't, it doesn't need anymore. That was the

00:16:04.960 first part of her excuse. The second part, this was perfect. I didn't even know this was a verb.

00:16:10.860 She said she had to go up there. She had to go to her house to winterize the property.

00:16:17.740 You know, I mean, you, we all need to go winterize our vacation homes, don't we? What are you going

00:16:25.700 to, you're going to allow your, your vacation home to be summarized during the winter? Oh my gosh.

00:16:30.980 Could you imagine how humiliating that would be? Wouldn't you feel the fool if you had summarized 0.99

00:16:36.460 your home in winter and you can't go winterize your vacation home alone? No, no, no. What? You're 0.97

00:16:42.640 going to go winterize your home and then not have an elaborate feast with your family? No, please.

00:16:48.000 This is, this is a civilized country. I don't care if we're in the middle of a pandemic. Can't ask,

00:16:53.140 we can ask people to give up their jobs and their loved ones, funerals and all of their holidays and

00:16:58.380 their livelihoods and their life savings. We can, they can give that up, but they can't give up

00:17:02.540 winterizing their second home. Pretty pathetic stuff. I wish she had just come out and said, 0.98

00:17:08.440 sorry, whoops, you caught me. I obviously, I'm not worried about the virus. None of us are worried

00:17:16.740 about the virus. We wash our hands or whatever, but you know, it's an epidemic. It's going to spread

00:17:21.540 anyway. It's fine. Live your life. Don't imprison yourself for more than a year. We're not doing it.

00:17:28.680 You shouldn't do it either. No, because this is all about power. And you're, you're seeing this on

00:17:35.660 the vaccine. It occurred to me, conservatives are all being shamed, yelled at, you know,

00:17:41.020 you need to wear the mask. You need to lock down. You can't see your friends. You can't see your

00:17:44.940 family. You need to get the vaccine. But then the minute conservatives do get the vaccine, 0.91

00:17:49.700 we're told you shouldn't get the vaccine because of these new crazy racial hierarchies. And actually

00:17:53.760 it's, it goes even beyond race. It goes to ideology. If you really look into it, Marco Rubio down in

00:18:01.560 Florida gets the vaccine, takes a big picture of it. This is part of a public health campaign.

00:18:07.080 Members of Congress have been cleared to have the vaccine as a matter of both national security

00:18:11.360 because they're, you know, elected officials, but also to encourage other people who are skeptical

00:18:16.940 of the vaccine to go get it. It's all going to be fine, right? So Rubio does this. He follows the

00:18:21.940 rules and goes and does this and he's being criticized. Dr. Jeremy Faust, who's some blue check

00:18:27.200 mark on Twitter. He says, I'm an ER doctor. And despite trying, I have not been able to get the

00:18:33.920 vaccine. Oh, that's too bad. Yeah. I guess, I guess the ER doctor should get it before the

00:18:39.220 Senator. Maybe, I don't know. I see there's an argument there, I guess. Anna Navarro, that fake

00:18:43.400 Republican who goes on television on all the left-wing channels, she tweets out, she was more

00:18:47.680 scathing. She says, young, healthy Senator who spoke at rallies packed with thousands without masks,

00:18:52.220 who supports Trump, who's downplayed COVID and mocked those who wear masks is the first to get the

00:18:57.140 vaccine while most medical workers, elderly and infirm Americans wait. Congratulations on your

00:19:02.360 privilege, Marco Rubio. Now me, I don't intend to get the vaccine, not because I've had, I've had

00:19:08.340 other vaccines, but I just, I'm probably not going to get this one because I don't think I need it

00:19:11.600 because statistically I have a very low risk of dying from this virus. It's possible that I could,

00:19:16.620 but everything about life involves risk. I could walk out right now and get hit by a car. And so I just,

00:19:21.500 I don't really, I don't, I don't get flu shots either. I'm just not too worried when I'm,

00:19:24.800 when I'm more elderly and frail. I will get them now. I don't, I'm pleased to know though,

00:19:29.560 that I will be lauded for my great nobility, that I'm leaving more vaccines for the people 1.00

00:19:34.700 who need them much more than I do. I'm so, I'm so happy that my choice, my very likely choice not

00:19:40.020 to get the vaccine will be perceived as virtuous, but, but of course it won't, right? It's just any,

00:19:45.640 anything conservatives do with regard to this virus, whether you lock down, whether you go out,

00:19:50.960 whether you get the vaccine, whether you don't get the vaccine, anything you do will be called

00:19:55.500 wrong and evil and terrible. And you're a murderer. And there's a double standard. 0.99

00:20:01.080 It would appear for millennial politicians, because at the same time Rubio is posting his

00:20:05.060 little picture, AOC is posting video after video of her getting the vaccine, talking about the vaccine.

00:20:11.600 There she is. She's got her shoulder exposed, doctor pushing in the syringe, AOC. 0.99

00:20:21.860 Well, I assume she's smiling. I can't tell because she's wearing that mask.

00:20:24.500 All right. That's it. That's it. Hooray. She's being applauded. That's so wonderful.

00:20:36.360 Not good when Rubio does it, but great when she does it. This is also not hypocrisy. This is not

00:20:42.880 hypocrisy. This is hierarchy. You actually, you heard the CDC and the New York Times say it,

00:20:47.000 that we need to prioritize members of certain races. So you can say, okay, AOC is a, I don't

00:20:54.780 know the proper term now. Is it Hispanic? Is it Latino? I saw someone's because it's Latinx. I

00:20:59.660 don't know. Whatever it is, she's a member of this particular race that is supposed to get the 1.00

00:21:03.180 vaccine before everyone else. And Rubio is a white guy, right? Well, no, I guess Rubio is a Hispanic 0.78

00:21:08.420 guy. But then if you read further into the left sort of perverse views on race, you'll remember

00:21:13.300 Hannah Nicole Jones, the 1619 Project lady who came out just a couple of months ago and said,

00:21:19.480 there's a difference between being physically one race and politically that race. This was in

00:21:25.720 response when Joe Biden said, if you're not voting for me, you ain't black. And she defended him.

00:21:29.560 She came out and she said, look, there's a difference between being physically black,

00:21:33.980 like Clarence Thomas, and politically black, like Malcolm X, right? According to these people,

00:21:40.820 I'm just using their own words. This is not my fevered interpretation of what they're saying.

00:21:45.320 According to these people, Marco Rubio, he really isn't Hispanic. Clarence Thomas, he really isn't

00:21:52.400 black. They might look that way, but they're not really because they're conservative. And if you don't 1.00

00:21:59.540 go along with the leftist agenda, you are not really that race. All of these sort of shortcuts, 0.95

00:22:06.520 you know, they focus on race a lot, but whether it's sex or sexual desire or whatever, they're,

00:22:12.100 they're always kind of circling back around to this ideology. That is not necessarily hypocrisy

00:22:19.580 because they are open about it. It's just hierarchy. What this is all about is power.

00:22:27.420 What this is all about to use Rand Paul's words. He just gave this yesterday at TPUSA. I didn't,

00:22:33.880 I actually didn't run into him there, but we probably missed each other by a couple hours.

00:22:39.360 He had a great line, which is that these lockdowns and these masks are not about medicine.

00:22:43.880 They're not about ideology. They're not about science. The way the vaccine is going to be

00:22:48.140 rolled out, what it's all about is submission. It'd be one thing if we were told you have to

00:22:54.940 give up your liberty, you have to give up your freedom, we're going to save your life. But what if

00:22:58.300 you have to give up all your freedoms and they're wrong on the science? Every one of the mandates,

00:23:02.460 and you look in country after country, state after state, you look at when the mask mandates went

00:23:06.620 in, the incidents went up exponentially after the mandates. Restaurants, nobody can eat in a

00:23:12.560 restaurant. There's no science behind any of that. Middle seat missing on the airplane.

00:23:16.280 You really think you're like 12 inches from the other guy instead of six inches. It really makes

00:23:20.560 a difference. None of it really makes any sense. And there's no epidemiological evidence. You know,

00:23:25.620 it's like, wash your hands, stand six feet apart. There's no evidence that that slowed down the,

00:23:30.140 the, the, I think that the trajectory of the virus has been, it hasn't been altered at all by any of

00:23:37.180 these things. Hasn't been altered at all. If only somebody had been saying that from the beginning.

00:23:43.520 Oh yeah. Well, it's not just me. It's all the conservatives have been saying this

00:23:46.320 from the very beginning. Now, Rand Paul, not just an expert on politics, U.S. Senator,

00:23:52.880 he's also an expert scientist, right? He is a medical doctor. He practices medicine. He understands

00:24:00.240 science. He will be written off. He's not a real expert. He's not a real doctor. He's not a real

00:24:05.820 politician. He's not, because he's on the wrong side of it. But the point he's making is absolutely

00:24:11.760 true. This is capricious. This has nothing to do with science. The way that the CDC is talking about,

00:24:19.500 I mean, it's so offensive to people of all races, I think, to say only this special race gets the

00:24:26.400 virus, it gets the vaccine. And this special race, this unspecial race rather, does not get the 0.87

00:24:31.500 vaccine. It's so offensive to everybody. Regardless of that, which race gets it and whatever,

00:24:40.080 we all have to acknowledge that's not scientific. It's being gussied up in the language of science.

00:24:45.000 They say, well, certain races, because they work certain jobs more likely, or they live in certain 0.96

00:24:49.740 neighborhoods more likely, or they have certain income more likely. Therefore, they're at greater

00:24:54.240 risk. And therefore, we need to use race as a shortcut to get the vaccine. They're gussying it up in the

00:24:59.340 language of science, which the left always does. You see this most notably on, on environmentalism,

00:25:04.840 because they'll say for a hundred years, the left has wanted what? Universal socialized healthcare.

00:25:10.020 They've wanted massive wealth redistribution. They've wanted a much more government control.

00:25:14.800 They wanted a big expansion of the bureaucracy. They wanted to give up some national sovereignty

00:25:17.760 to transnational institutions. And so in the seventies, they said, we have to do all these

00:25:21.460 things because of overpopulation. And it turned out overpopulation was complete BS. They said,

00:25:26.460 there are going to be famines if we don't do this. Inevitable. It's going to happen. World

00:25:29.640 population doubles. We're all fatter than ever. Then they said, it's global cooling. We're heading to

00:25:33.520 a new ice age. So we got to do all the stuff we want. And then global cooling turned out to be

00:25:37.300 bunk. And they said, no, it's actually, it's global warming. And so, but we still need all

00:25:40.940 the exact same solutions that coincidentally we've wanted politically for a hundred years.

00:25:44.680 Then global warming stops for a little while. So they say, okay, no, it's, it's climate change,

00:25:49.200 you know, cause it was sunny yesterday and now it's foggy. So you, anyway, you still got to give

00:25:54.220 us the exact same answers. Okay. You can gussy anything up in this silly jargon and pretend that

00:26:01.460 it's scientific and therefore outside the realm of debate, but it ain't, it's all politics.

00:26:07.300 You want to see the, the great abasement of, of science is we've now got Dr. Fauci. Now he's

00:26:13.780 not only playing the politician, he's also playing an entertainer on television. You know,

00:26:18.600 when I think of people that I could see this, this Christmas, I, I know that we're not supposed

00:26:25.720 to see anybody, but you know, who's going to come knocking on my door? Could be a delivery

00:26:28.420 man. Could be my mother-in-law. The worst one that it could be, Dr. Fauci. Uh, he was one,

00:26:33.900 he, I would not answer the door if Dr. Fauci rang my bell. That's why I'm so glad that we have ring,

00:26:40.240 ring it. You know, it's doorbell season. Okay. It's the busiest time of the year at your front

00:26:44.260 door. You're going to want to know who's at your house. You're going to want to keep an eye on the

00:26:47.560 hustle and bustle, no matter where you are right from your phone. This weekend I flew out. I was in

00:26:52.420 Georgia. I was in Florida. I was all over the place. If somebody stops, why I'm going to want to know

00:26:57.260 who's at that door. Sweet little Alisa is a very good shot, you know, because she just keeps blasting and 1.00

00:27:02.640 blasting and blasting. But look, I don't, I don't want to have to fix my door or anything like that.

00:27:05.900 I want my sweet little Alisa to be able to see who's outside the door, uh, before she opens the 1.00

00:27:12.020 door. This holiday season, it's not just the best time to have a ring. It is the best time to give it

00:27:17.960 to. It's a little secret. I hope none of the friends I've given it to are listening right now.

00:27:22.560 The reason I give a ring out as a housewarming gift to my friends, not just because it's terrific,

00:27:27.200 not just because it makes you feel like you're living in the future. It's because it's not that

00:27:31.660 expensive, but it seems very expensive. Great time to give the gift for a limited time. Go to

00:27:43.620 K-N-O-W-L-E-S. Now we've got to take a quick break. You know that we've got a lot of fun stuff 1.00

00:27:50.960 coming up in this new year. One thing we've got is the historical docu-series Apollo 11,

00:28:15.700 existing content. Go to Daily Wire.com. We'll be right back with a lot more.

00:28:18.980 You want to see what a farce the scientific establishment has become now that they've

00:28:35.620 beclowned themselves getting into the scientific racism or the sort of getting into these kind

00:28:42.820 of caste system developments. But we've got the exalted Dr. Fauci, our most powerful politician

00:28:49.420 in the country and therefore the world, going on television and doing a little soft shoot,

00:28:53.460 playing the entertainer and joking about Santa Claus to allay all the fears that they've all instilled

00:28:58.620 in the children. I'm in Elmo's back for something else that I think is on a lot of kids' minds.

00:29:04.020 Elmo's friend has a question about Santa Claus. How did Santa get the vaccine and is it safe

00:29:13.740 for him to go in the house? How can Santa Claus safely give out presents with COVID-19 spreading

00:29:23.760 everywhere? How can he do it? Will Santa still be able to visit me in coronavirus this season?

00:29:32.500 What if he can't go to anyone's house or near his reindeer?

00:29:40.440 Well, I have to say I took care of that for you because I was worried that you'd all be upset.

00:29:46.040 So what I did a little while ago, I took a trip up there to the North Pole. I went there and I vaccinated

00:29:52.760 Santa Claus myself. I measured his level of immunity and he is good to go. He can come down the chimney.

00:30:00.440 He can leave the presents. He can leave and you have nothing to worry about. Santa Claus is good to

00:30:07.700 go. It's going to be so sad when Santa Claus has complications from this thing and then Dr. Fauci

00:30:13.660 will have killed jolly old St. Nicholas. That will be so, that'll be like the worst thing Fauci ever

00:30:18.780 did, but probably that won't happen, right? Probably Santa Claus will be totally fine. He'll have the

00:30:22.980 vaccine. That'll, that'll be all good. Except I was just told by Dr. Fauci that even after you get the

00:30:33.200 vaccine, you are not supposed to travel. You are still supposed to wear the mask all the time.

00:30:40.200 You are not allowed to go out and live your life. So one day Fauci, no, maybe it's just,

00:30:46.300 maybe it's just hierarchy. Maybe I have to play by a certain set of rules,

00:30:49.680 but jolly old St. Nicholas does not. This is very silly stuff. And it shows you by the way, 0.92

00:30:57.740 how unserious it all is. When Fauci and Birx and Cuomo and Pelosi and Newsom and the one in Chicago,

00:31:05.560 what's her name? Lori Lightfoot and the one in DC, what's her name? I don't even remember the mayor of

00:31:10.180 DC and the one in New York, de Blasio and all these different people. When they violate their own

00:31:17.080 rules, you can tell they're being unserious about the, the lockdown measures. But when they make

00:31:24.720 little jokes about it like this, you can tell they're being unserious too. They go on, oh yeah,

00:31:28.660 no, we said all, you have to get the vaccine, but hey, Santa Claus will be fine. Don't worry, kids.

00:31:32.880 Just, just do whatever we say. We want to allay your fears. Also, by the way, what they are doing to

00:31:40.400 children right now with this virus is abusive. They are robbing children of much of their

00:31:46.160 childhood, right? They're robbing them of some of the most, what could be the most joyous years of

00:31:51.520 their life, right? You just get to go outside and play, be in school, see your friends. That's gone

00:31:55.820 because of this ridiculous political exercise. But also they're really terrifying, these kids. 0.97

00:32:02.780 See, rates of anxiety are already going up in children now for the past couple of years

00:32:06.980 because of their parents' neuroses. And now these children are terrified because of a virus

00:32:11.620 where it is statistically impossible to kill them. The odds of a child dying from coronavirus

00:32:18.360 are so infinitesimally small that these children should be more afraid of the boogeyman hiding in

00:32:24.780 their closet. And yet they are afraid. And of course they are afraid because of these fear-mongering

00:32:31.600 cynics and scoundrels in the public health establishment and in the media and in elective

00:32:38.220 office who are using this virus as an opportunity for social engineering. They said it, the New York

00:32:46.340 Times said it in their ridiculous racist article and the CDC and their ridiculous racist guidelines. 0.95

00:32:53.560 They're saying this is really an opportunity to, you know, fix some inequities, fix some historical 0.98

00:32:59.780 injustices. What does that mean? Oh, you mean it's not, you're going to exploit a pandemic to push your

00:33:07.080 own perverse racial policies. Very, very, and you know, by the way, there are actual problems in the

00:33:14.720 country. I know because we've turned this particular pandemic into the worst crisis that America's ever

00:33:21.920 faced that we've forgotten we have other problems. Right now in San Francisco, many multiples,

00:33:29.480 more people are dying from drug overdoses than are dying from coronavirus. 621 people have died in

00:33:37.400 San Francisco from drug overdoses this year compared to 173 people who've died from coronavirus. And by

00:33:43.000 the way, we know that the coronavirus numbers are inflated, that that's not some wild, crazy theory.

00:33:47.580 We know it because the county coroners and health officials have pointed out that people who are dying

00:33:52.840 from gunshots are being counted as COVID deaths. We don't know the extent of the overcounting,

00:33:57.740 but there certainly is overcounting going on because any person who dies with the coronavirus

00:34:02.860 is said to have died from the coronavirus. We don't know. It could be a very small number. It

00:34:06.820 could be a huge number, but here's what we do know. Regardless of what, how reliable that number is,

00:34:13.320 many multiples more people are dying from drugs in, in San Francisco. That's considered fine.

00:34:19.660 According to the new standards, we should legalize all drugs. It's a personal choice. It's a matter of

00:34:24.360 personal freedom. You have a right, darn it, a natural right to kill yourself with drugs. 1.00

00:34:30.240 I don't think that's true, but that is the new standard we're living under. And even many 0.99

00:34:36.500 conservatives go along with that. I know so many conservatives who say, ah, the war on drugs failed.

00:34:42.240 I don't even know what that statement means. We put a lot of drug dealers in prison. Doesn't sound

00:34:46.100 like that failed to me. It sounds like it worked pretty well. Well, people still do drugs. Yeah,

00:34:50.980 of course they do. People are still going to, we have laws against murder. People are still going

00:34:54.220 to commit murders. The point is you want to punish these things and try to control these things.

00:34:59.980 But that, that system has been flipped, including on murder, by the way, LA. And this is shocking,

00:35:05.340 even to me, I know how left-wing LA gets, but the LA district attorney already was a huge liberal

00:35:14.220 criminal. And that LADA lost to an even more radical person. George Gascon, I don't even know

00:35:22.920 how to pronounce his name, who is running on a platform and who won on a platform, basically of

00:35:28.660 springing some of the worst prisoners from the clink. So he recently was approached, well, he was giving

00:35:35.520 a little talk. He was approached by the mother of Joshua Rodriguez, who was kidnapped, tortured,

00:35:41.060 and murdered in 2015. And recently, special circumstances were filed on the accused killers.

00:35:49.280 Those will be dropped under Gascon's new policy, which will take life without parole off the table.

00:35:56.780 So the killers will not seriously be punished for what they did. And this mother walks up to this new 0.99

00:36:02.480 DA and starts pleading with him, yelling at him. Listen to the arrogance, listen to the contempt

00:36:08.120 in this jerk's voice. I apologize. It's unfortunate that we have people that do not have enough 1.00

00:36:14.140 education to keep their mouth shut for a moment so we can talk. But anyway. My son could never speak

00:36:20.240 again because he was murdered. He was kidnapped, tortured, and murdered. My son matters.

00:36:28.800 My son killed my son. Tortured him. And what are you going to do about it? Nothing. 0.99

00:36:37.500 You're going to hear nothing about the law? There's nothing about it.

00:36:40.700 What about the law? You're supposed to enforce it, not write it.

00:36:46.820 Yeah, you're going to come back and look at his record. Enforce it.

00:36:50.140 He's just walking away. He's just, he doesn't need to hear this. What does he care?

00:36:57.060 This guy, Gascon, is cartoonishly villainous. Can you imagine a grieving mother saying, 0.90

00:37:03.160 these people murdered my son and you're going to let them get off the hook basically,

00:37:08.380 or you're going to let them have a much less severe punishment. And he turns to her

00:37:13.180 with pure disdain. And he says, I'm sorry that some people are not educated enough

00:37:19.280 to keep, to no one to keep their mouth shut so that I can talk. This guy is particularly

00:37:25.520 visibly villainous. This is how every single one of these establishment elites thinks about

00:37:34.060 the rest of their countrymen. They might not say it. They might have slightly better political

00:37:39.260 sense than to say that, but that is what they think. They think, why are these little

00:37:45.660 plebeians? Why are they? Oh, your murdered son. Oh, what you think you should be, the killers 1.00

00:37:52.400 should be punished. You just don't have as brilliant and broad a mind as I have to understand that

00:37:58.960 actually the killers, they're victims of a system. And you just don't, you're too, you're too close.

00:38:04.900 You're too emotional. You frivolous woman. You're not educated like me. You, I don't care about your 1.00

00:38:12.400 pleading. That's what they think. That's what they've thought about us from the beginning,

00:38:15.460 by the way, with this lockdown, isn't it? We say, you know, our family members are dying alone for

00:38:21.660 absolutely no reason. We're not allowed to have funerals. We haven't been able to see them. We

00:38:25.120 can't live. You've taken our livelihoods from us. You've taken our life savings from us. You won't give

00:38:28.900 us any, even any sort of stimulus, not any significant stimulus to stay afloat. We're losing

00:38:34.240 everything over here. And what do the public health experts say? They basically say, gosh,

00:38:39.100 some people are not educated enough to know when to keep their mouth shuts and let Dr. Fauci talk or

00:38:43.960 Dr. Scarf talk, even though we don't believe what we're saying. We don't believe it for us,

00:38:48.380 but we believe it for you. You all need to stay locked down and lose your livelihoods

00:38:52.420 so that, you know, we're going to commute on Zoom. We're going to go to our beach houses.

00:38:55.940 No big deal. That's a hierarchy. Dr. Scarf and Dr. Fauci and Pelosi and Gavin Newsom at the French

00:39:05.080 Laundry and Cuomo and all these guys, they get to do things that the rest of Americans don't get to do

00:39:11.220 because they're in a special privileged class. And according to the left, there ought to be special

00:39:16.980 privileged classes. And if you're a member of a special privileged class, you get the, you get to go to

00:39:21.520 the beach house and you get to have Thanksgiving and you get the vaccine first and that's it because

00:39:26.940 you deserve it. And you, you know, they'll just pay lip service to historical injustice, oppression.

00:39:33.560 Uh, I don't know, whatever the buzzword is, that's intersectionality. That's, and that's why

00:39:38.620 there's really no argument there. It's because they're in the class and you're not in the class.

00:39:43.740 Give you a really great example of this. Uh, I think it was a week ago or so the proud boys,

00:39:50.180 you know, the proud boys, they're sort of a raucous group on the right. Uh, and there,

00:39:55.180 there have been members of the proud boys, by the way, who are pretty extreme. So I'm not,

00:39:58.360 I'm not saying all totally defensible. I think that the leader of the proud boys has been unfairly

00:40:04.080 targeted as a white supremacist. And my evidence that he's unfairly targeted as a white supremacist

00:40:09.180 is that he's a black Hispanic guy, but he's not, no, he's not though, actually, according to the left,

00:40:15.060 even though he is black and Hispanic, his name's Enrique Tarrio. Uh, he's, he, he's not really

00:40:20.860 because he's politically conservative and he likes the American flag. And so he's not, he's a white,

00:40:27.320 he's a neo-Nazi basically. He's a white supremacist. Doesn't look like one, but according to them, 0.99

00:40:31.940 he is one. So the proud boys were having some march or rally or something and they, they ripped a BLM 0.81

00:40:37.400 sign off of, or a flag off of a church. Shouldn't do that. That's a crime. Can't steal people's property.

00:40:43.120 Very bad thing to do. Then they burned the BLM flag. This is being investigated as a hate crime.

00:40:51.140 How many, to put this in perspective, how many American flags do you think were ripped off of

00:40:56.440 buildings during the BLM riots and the Antifa riots over the summer? How many American flags do

00:41:02.440 you think were stolen from people, maybe set on fire? I think a good number. And the reason I say 0.98

00:41:06.540 this is because BLM and Antifa were burning buildings down in this summer. So I suspect maybe

00:41:12.840 there was an American flag somewhere around there. No big deal. Actually, when BLM and Antifa burned

00:41:18.000 down buildings, that is completely defended by the establishment. But when these guys get,

00:41:25.780 get a little rowdy, they take the flag, they shouldn't have taken the flag. Then they burn

00:41:30.000 that. That is being investigated as a hate crime. Now, I think it's wrong to steal. I don't think we

00:41:35.880 should steal people's flags. However, if you go out and buy your own BLM flag and then douse it in 0.56

00:41:41.100 gasoline and set it on fire, that is a good thing because BLM is a Marxist organization 0.92

00:41:45.960 that hates this country. It is an evil organization and absolutely it should not be tolerated in a 0.94

00:41:52.380 civilized society. It is explicitly Marxist. And it comes out, it explicitly says it wants to destroy

00:41:58.940 the nuclear family. What that has to do with racial justice, I'm not quite sure.

00:42:05.920 And Tario comes out and he says, the burning of this banner wasn't about race, religion,

00:42:11.160 or political ideology. It was about a racist movement that has terrorized the citizens of

00:42:15.920 this country, BLM. I will not stand by and watch them burn another city. Now, he was being a little 0.81

00:42:20.680 loose with his language here. I agree it wasn't about race. Mr. Tario is the same race as the people

00:42:27.680 of BLM putatively are, right? He's a black guy, black and Hispanic. It wasn't about religion. In a way, 0.67

00:42:33.940 it is about religion, right? Because the conservatives tend to be Christian and BLM is 0.98

00:42:37.900 Marxist, therefore materialist, atheistic. And it is about political ideology. BLM is not a race. It's

00:42:45.300 not a racial movement primarily. It's a, it's a political and ideological movement. But this is a

00:42:51.920 hierarchy. You can burn, if you, if you burn the American flag, you will hear people on the left and

00:42:58.760 sort of squishies on the right, tell you that's wonderful. Oh, it's so, it's so important.

00:43:03.300 Thomas Jefferson won, he wrote the declaration so you can burn the flag. It's a great, I'll defend 1.00

00:43:09.620 to the death your right to burn the flag. The minute someone burns a rainbow flag, someone burns a BLM 0.86

00:43:14.140 flag, someone probably even burns an Antifa flag, all of a sudden you're going to make a federal case

00:43:19.620 out of it. It's all about overthrowing the old standards, all about smashing the patriarchy.

00:43:24.640 There was a gal who, this video went viral. I don't know how, I don't know why. I don't think

00:43:35.640 it is being facetious. I don't think it's irony or satire. I think this is the new standard. I can't

00:43:42.760 even describe it. Take a listen. Well, I have this thing, call it a little quirk, if you will. I have

00:43:48.140 hair in my armpit. I have it there for a few reasons. One, lazy. Two, f*** the patriarchy. And

00:43:55.140 three, your response to them tells me everything I need to know about you. Okay, and for those who

00:44:02.940 just listened to that and didn't see it on the internet, this girl has shaved about two-thirds 1.00

00:44:08.160 of her head and then she has a lot of hair in the back of her head and she's got these thick 1.00

00:44:11.260 mutton chops and has armpit hair and, you know, is, has, has made some interesting fashion choices.

00:44:20.320 She would appear to be on the left. I don't think she's right wing. I think this is her standard. 1.00

00:44:28.220 Smash the patriarchy. And what does that really get to? It gets to this left wing view of the country

00:44:33.020 that is totally full of resentment. Everything in the past is bad. Every tradition is bad and it is

00:44:42.280 oppressive and it stops us from being liberated, right? And this is, you see this with all of these 1.00

00:44:47.680 stories, with the way they want to upend the, on the left, they want to upend the economy, the way they

00:44:52.020 want to institute these racist policies on the vaccine, the way that they want to reorder our

00:44:59.500 political system, the way they want to reorder all of these things. It's because the past is bad

00:45:04.280 and the new system is going to be liberating and much better. Now let's go along with that for a

00:45:12.420 second. Let's say, seriously, I don't, I don't, obviously don't believe anything she said, but

00:45:15.800 let's say that all those things are true. If that is liberation, I don't want it.

00:45:24.220 Does that girl seem like she's doing well? It's not even just that girl. She's an extreme example.

00:45:32.160 When you go to your Thanksgiving holiday and your sort of blue haired feminist cousin-in-law 1.00

00:45:38.440 or something comes up to you and, and starts yelling at you about liberation and your politics

00:45:43.840 and Trump or whatever, you know, when you talk to these people, do they really seem like they've

00:45:51.000 figured it out? Like they're in a good place. Like they're happy, they're thriving, they're

00:45:54.620 flourishing. No, I don't think so. That is not the look of a stable, grounded, centered person.

00:46:03.360 And yet there are a great many people who are, who don't look or sound or shriek like that,

00:46:09.220 who nevertheless believe those kinds of arguments. You know, look, they'll get married,

00:46:16.440 they'll settle down, they'll basically live by the kind of conventional rules. And yet they will

00:46:20.200 still buy into this ridiculous notion that the past and traditions are all terrible and

00:46:24.920 oppressive and, you know, leftism is really liberating. They'll, they'll buy into it.

00:46:28.980 They're being inundated with it by the public health establishment, by the mainstream media,

00:46:32.300 by the entertainment media, by higher education, lower education, big tech, everything.

00:46:36.660 So they buy into it. It's completely incoherent, but they buy into it. If the country has come

00:46:44.620 that far apart, how are we supposed to come back together? When I was at TPUSA over the weekend,

00:46:51.680 I did Charlie Kirk's podcast, which should be coming out sometime this week. And one topic he

00:46:56.800 brought up is the idea of a national divorce, that we no longer have anything in common with anything

00:47:03.820 whatsoever. You know, America does not, you know, most people speak English, but it's not

00:47:09.000 the only language that people speak in America. So we don't have that. We don't have a common

00:47:13.820 religion. It was always Christianity broadly, but there were all the little intersection or

00:47:17.780 intersectional, uh, all these denominational battles, you know, between certainly the Protestants

00:47:22.640 and the Catholics and within the Protestants. So there was kind of more broad, tolerant understanding

00:47:26.720 of religion in terms of race. We've always, I mean, obviously a lot of white people came in

00:47:31.440 that early on, but there, there always were mixed races in America. You had Indians brought 0.99

00:47:36.780 in, uh, from the earliest days into alliances with the pilgrims. You had African slaves brought 0.98

00:47:41.840 over. You then had free Africans who were in some ways integrated into the society and

00:47:46.380 in some ways kept out of the society. You had immigrants coming in from all over Europe.

00:47:50.120 Then later on you had immigrants from Asia. And so you've always had those quite, you don't 1.00

00:47:53.380 have a common race really in America. You don't have a lot of common things. And yet if you're

00:47:59.080 all patriots, if you all love your country, if you can all broadly agree, not even on what

00:48:05.260 your country stands for necessarily, you know, you, you need to get to some of that, but even

00:48:09.760 just, if you can all agree your country is good and you like it and you want it to succeed

00:48:15.580 and continue, if you can agree on that, you can have a country. But we can't agree on that

00:48:21.320 now. I think that the flag issue, the flag, maybe hypocrisy, maybe hierarchy shows you

00:48:27.160 this. The left is, is desecrating, disrespecting, in some cases outright burning the American

00:48:33.020 flag right now. That is a level of extremism we had not seen in this country. For a long

00:48:41.480 time what the left would say is, look, I defend the right to burn the flag, but it's a condemnable

00:48:44.980 act. RBG said this. She said, I think it's foolish and stupid and incoherent to burn the

00:48:48.900 flag. Now you've got people cheering on Colin Kaepernick. Now you've got people pointing to 1.00

00:48:55.900 the flag as basically just a symbol of the Republican party or conservatives or MAGA or

00:48:59.580 Trump. And that's true. That's basically what it's become. The left has other flags,

00:49:04.460 the LM, the rainbow flag, the Antifa flag, right? They've got all these other symbols

00:49:09.780 for them. If you don't have even that common grounding, it's like any, divorce is an apt

00:49:17.340 metaphor, I think, because let's say you and your wife are fighting. If you're trying to

00:49:21.740 fix your marriage, you're not going to fix your marriage by saying, I was right about

00:49:23.940 this and you didn't get this right and you did this to me and I did this to you and figure

00:49:26.460 out exactly who was right. The way you're going to fix your marriage is you have to

00:49:30.460 love one another. That's the first part of it. And right now it would seem the left does

00:49:34.200 not love the conservatives. And frankly, conservatives aren't feeling particularly warm about leftists

00:49:41.420 at this point because of all the madness that you see going on and all the castigating 0.99

00:49:47.500 us as bitter clinging bigots and fools and Nazis and all that sort of thing. Well, right 0.99

00:49:51.280 now, according to Rasmussen, 56% of Americans see Joe Biden as the legitimately elected president.

00:50:00.020 Only 56% actually might be as low as 52%, depending on how you word the question.

00:50:05.240 That is a shocking, whatever you think about the election, just that number is shocking.

00:50:10.120 Only 56% of Americans can even agree. And look, I think it's the left's fault. I think they

00:50:15.920 undertook such outrageous irregularities in the election. In some places they actually did cheat.

00:50:22.760 And because of that, no one has faith in the process anymore. How do you have a country after

00:50:28.580 that? Well, as the country sort of falls apart, then it becomes a raw power grab and you're going

00:50:33.800 to see much stronger claims for hierarchy. And the ideological hierarchy has already kicked into

00:50:41.160 effect. I hope we can stay on the air. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show. See you

00:51:43.320 about politics. I think there are enough of those already out there. We talk about culture because

00:51:48.100 culture drives politics and it drives everything else. So my main focuses are life, family, faith.

00:51:55.780 Those are fundamental and that's what this show is about. I hope you'll give it a listen.
