The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 670 - Just A Little Prick

00:00:00.160 Dr. Fauci, our exalted leader, the ruler of the world, has gotten the coronavirus vaccine.

00:00:09.140 And our nation are saying, if Dr. Fauci gets the vaccine, I'm going to get the vaccine.

00:00:13.320 So tell us a little bit of why it's important.

00:00:15.940 Well, for me, it's important for two reasons.

00:00:18.540 One is that I'm an attending physician here on the staff at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center.

00:00:24.660 And so I do see patients. But as important or more important is as a symbol to the rest of the country that I feel extreme confidence in the safety and the efficacy of this vaccine.

00:00:36.420 And I want to encourage everyone who has the opportunity to get vaccinated so that we could have a veil of protection over this country that would end this pandemic.

00:00:46.640 OK, so just a little prick. And Dr. Fauci is going to be absolutely fine, immune to the coronavirus.

00:00:53.440 That's the good news. The bad news, though, and Fauci has this bad news.

00:00:57.880 There is a new strain of coronavirus, and that strain is very likely already in the United States.

00:01:05.360 When you see something that is pretty prevalent in a place like the UK, there are also mutations that we're seeing in South Africa.

00:01:15.080 And given the travel throughout the world, I would not be surprised if it's already here.

00:01:20.600 When we start to look for it, we're going to find it. Certainly, it's not yet the prevalent one the way it seems to have assumed that prevalent nature in the UK.

00:01:30.240 But we're going to be looking for it right now. And I'm sure sooner or later, we're going to run into it and find it.

00:01:35.660 Now, Dr. Fauci says probably as of now, the vaccine covers this new strain, too.

00:01:41.540 But, you know, we've got to be careful. We've got to keep wearing the masks.

00:01:44.720 We've got to lock down. We can't really travel very much.

00:01:48.520 Just 15 more days, folks. Just 15 more days.

00:01:52.520 I'm going to have a long, gray beard, and I'm going to be telling you, just 15 more days.

00:01:56.860 I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:58.900 Welcome back to the show.

00:02:08.000 My favorite comment yesterday from Top10Guy1, who says,

00:02:11.660 Joe Biden probably approves of this stimulus, this COVID relief bill.

00:02:16.180 $600 was enough to buy a house and three cars back in his day.

00:02:19.780 That makes sense.

00:02:21.680 Back in the old days, where the world was just full of corn pops and malarkey, $600.

00:02:27.340 By golly, that would get, that would get you through your whole life.

00:02:31.180 But now, of course, there's been inflation since the 1530s.

00:02:34.940 And so it doesn't get you quite as far.

00:02:37.480 And President Trump's not so happy about this COVID relief bill because of that.

00:02:41.880 Because people are not prepared to shut down the country for 11 months and not be allowed to work

00:02:50.320 and still have your bills coming in and all this sorts of madness.

00:02:54.640 People are not prepared.

00:02:55.460 You, however, should be prepared.

00:02:57.840 And that's why you've got to get ReadyWise.

00:04:13.860 You thought that this whole epidemic was getting better.

00:04:20.300 Oh no, it's getting worse, much, much worse.

00:04:25.540 And according to our allegedly optimistic, normal, sunny, President-elect Joe Biden,

00:04:35.720 America's darkest days are ahead.

00:04:38.540 But even with the changes in approach I'm going to put in place in late January,

00:04:45.580 people are still going to be getting sick and dying from COVID.

00:04:49.340 One thing I promise you about my leadership during this crisis,

00:04:53.780 I'm going to tell it to you straight.

00:04:55.900 I'm going to tell you the truth.

00:04:58.000 And here's the simple truth.

00:04:59.640 Our darkest days in the battle against COVID are ahead of us, not behind us.

00:05:07.100 So we need to prepare ourselves to steel our spines.

00:05:11.020 As frustrating as to hear, it's going to take patience, persistence, and determination to beat this virus.

00:05:20.000 There'll be no time to waste in taking the steps we need to turn this crisis around.

00:05:25.080 Darker days are only ahead if this schmuck makes it into the White House.

00:05:29.580 It has absolutely nothing to do with the virus.

00:05:32.100 We know that these cynics, these politicians, these sociopaths who have forced the lockdown on us,

00:05:38.240 they don't believe their own warnings.

00:05:40.360 When you catch them off camera, they're not wearing masks.

00:05:42.640 They're seeing their family.

00:05:43.680 They're going to Thanksgiving holiday at their houses so they can winterize them,

00:05:48.360 their second homes.

00:05:49.440 They're going to the French laundry to eat Michelin rated dinners without masks on sitting next to each other.

00:05:55.280 And they're laughing at the rest of us.

00:05:56.860 All of the gullible liberals who are going along with these ridiculous kind of precautions.

00:06:01.980 That's what's really going on.

00:06:04.200 If dark days lie ahead, it's because of these political scoundrels, not because of anything with the virus.

00:06:09.860 And this is something that drives me so crazy about the media coverage of Trump.

00:06:16.120 What do you hear?

00:06:16.560 Donald Trump could give the most wonderful, hopeful, sunny speech in the world.

00:06:20.860 And actually, he did give one of those in South Dakota at Mount Rushmore.

00:06:25.340 And the media said it was dark and divisive.

00:06:28.800 Trump, he's pessimistic.

00:06:30.760 He's dark.

00:06:31.660 He's angry.

00:06:32.920 No, President Trump is the sunniest politician of my lifetime.

00:06:37.220 Probably the only sunnier politician in recent memory was Ronald Reagan,

00:06:40.640 who would say America's best days lie ahead.

00:06:43.760 And then you have Joe Biden, who says America's darkest days lie ahead.

00:06:48.960 Everyone says Trump is fear-mongering.

00:06:50.920 Trump isn't fear-mongering at all.

00:06:53.300 Trump says we're going to find solutions.

00:06:55.100 Don't live in fear of the virus.

00:06:56.680 Joe Biden is the one fear-mongering.

00:06:59.460 And he's doing it for a couple of reasons.

00:07:01.880 One, because if he gets to the White House, he will institute some draconian policies for

00:07:08.100 some short period of time.

00:07:09.260 And then he'll claim credit for having cured the virus.

00:07:12.540 Even though he doesn't deserve any credit for that, because we already got the cure before

00:07:16.220 Joe Biden.

00:07:17.760 He can't, we have, frankly, we got it before even the election, but they announced it a

00:07:21.660 week after the election.

00:07:22.520 We already know all of this, but he would claim credit for it.

00:07:28.720 And two, because it's a way to amass more power.

00:07:33.740 And that's what these politicians have been pulling the whole time.

00:07:36.240 So if America's darkest days lie ahead, how are we going to get through those dark days?

00:07:40.780 A lot of people have been out of work at this point, what, 11 months?

00:07:43.980 Congress sent them $1,200.

00:07:46.320 Maybe people got $1,200 earlier.

00:07:48.840 Doesn't get you very far.

00:07:49.860 Well, now we've got a wonderful, major, important stimulus, COVID relief plan.

00:07:57.100 Congress is going to send some of you $600 for being out of work 11 months.

00:08:04.460 And Nancy Pelosi says this is very significant.

00:08:07.500 We also have in the legislation direct payments, which were not in the Republican bill, to America's

00:08:16.020 working families.

00:08:16.920 I would like them bigger, but they are significant and they will be going out soon.

00:08:25.580 Very significant.

00:08:27.740 Now, look, Pelosi, she wishes it could have been bigger.

00:08:30.840 How big is this relief bill going to be?

00:08:32.420 It's going to be like a trillion dollars and another trillion some odd dollars added on

00:08:36.480 with all sorts of foreign aid and all sorts of payoffs to political cronies.

00:08:40.160 But, you know, unfortunately, all Congress could find was $600 measly dollars for the inconvenience

00:08:48.340 of destroying your livelihoods for the past year.

00:08:53.880 Significant.

00:08:54.620 Is $600 significant?

00:08:56.000 I don't think so.

00:08:57.240 When we're talking about keeping you out of work for an entire year.

00:09:01.300 Nancy Pelosi wouldn't think so, too, if it were politically convenient for her to say what

00:09:06.280 she really thought, because I remember two years ago, do you remember this two years ago?

00:09:10.260 President Trump passes this tax bill, this tax reform bill, and Nancy Pelosi comes out

00:09:16.120 and says this bill is terrible.

00:09:18.880 You know, it gives tax breaks to zillionaires and corporations.

00:09:24.160 And that wasn't true.

00:09:25.320 The tax bill also gave about $1,000 in relief to individuals.

00:09:30.800 And, you know, Nancy Pelosi, $1,000.

00:09:32.560 Who needs $1,000?

00:09:33.860 That ain't nothing but crumbs.

00:09:36.280 The, in terms of the bonus that corporate America received versus the crumbs that they

00:09:44.040 are giving to workers to kind of put the schmooze on is so pathetic.

00:09:49.400 It's so pathetic.

00:09:51.100 It is pathetic.

00:09:52.420 I hate to say that I agree with Nancy Pelosi two years ago, but I do agree with Nancy Pelosi

00:09:57.000 two years ago.

00:09:57.840 By the way, at the time, in terms of a tax bill, that's a pretty good break.

00:10:01.520 But we are now in this unprecedented moment where these politicians, for their own political

00:10:09.440 ends, can't forget it was an election year, decided to shut down the country, destroy people's

00:10:15.000 lives.

00:10:15.180 Because even before the coronavirus gave them the excuse to do this, you had prominent

00:10:20.220 left-wingers, guys like Bill Maher, who said, we need a recession.

00:10:23.120 We need a recession.

00:10:24.140 I know it'll hurt some people, but we need it because that's the only way that we can

00:10:27.320 get Trump out.

00:10:28.580 So, and, and frankly, the left did more than give us a recession.

00:10:32.080 The left shut down the country for a year.

00:10:36.660 And then the way they're going to make it up to us is $600.

00:10:41.940 No, I can't tell you how many letters I've seen, tweets, posts, all over the place from

00:10:49.100 people who say, I lost my savings.

00:10:51.280 I lost my business.

00:10:53.340 My family is really struggling.

00:10:56.080 And you can take your $600 and shove it.

00:10:58.960 I don't want it.

00:11:00.700 It's just not enough.

00:11:02.100 I would, I would much rather, and I think a lot of people feel this way, not getting

00:11:06.640 the $600 right now, even if, even if a lot of people need it, and I know a lot of people

00:11:12.120 who need it, better to knock at the $600 than to go along with this outrageous, offensive

00:11:19.400 bill that is going to indebt generations after us, first of all, because of these ridiculous

00:11:25.820 spending projects.

00:11:26.720 And that is frankly, such a slap in the face.

00:11:30.700 These, these elite politicians in DC, members of both parties, more the Democrats, but some

00:11:36.560 Republicans too, saying, oh, the, oh, the, the plebeians, they're, they're, they're complaining

00:11:41.420 again, give them $600, $600.

00:11:44.080 What does that come out?

00:11:44.700 It comes out to about six bucks a day since they shut down the country.

00:11:48.460 That's adding it onto the 1200 that we got early on.

00:11:51.820 Six bucks a day, not worth it, not going to make a difference.

00:11:54.800 They need to veto this bill.

00:11:56.560 Very fortunately, President Trump has intimated that he will veto this bill.

00:12:01.900 He's just going to stop it right in its tracks.

00:12:04.820 When you want to stop bad things in their tracks, then you need to check out Axon Taser.

00:13:12.440 President Trump comes out yesterday over the protests of his advisors,

00:13:18.620 over the protests of Republican leadership in the Congress.

00:13:22.520 Republican leadership in the Senate.

00:13:25.420 And he says, this bill is outrageous and not good enough for me.

00:13:31.280 I'm also asking Congress to immediately get rid of the wasteful and unnecessary items

00:13:37.940 from this legislation and to send me a suitable bill or else the next administration will have

00:13:45.120 to deliver a COVID relief package.

00:13:47.440 And maybe that administration will be me and we will get it done.

00:13:52.540 Thank you very much.

00:13:55.520 So President Trump goes in and I love that he's not giving up hope, by the way.

00:14:01.380 Absolutely love that.

00:14:03.200 He goes in and he describes what is going on in this COVID relief bill.

00:14:07.780 The $900 billion package provides hardworking taxpayers with only $600 each in relief payments

00:14:17.000 and not enough money is given to small businesses and in particular restaurants whose owners have

00:14:24.600 suffered so grievously they were only given a deduction, but two years is not acceptable, it's not enough.

00:14:33.080 Congress found plenty of money for foreign countries, lobbyists, and special interests

00:14:37.420 while sending the bare minimum to the American people who need it.

00:14:42.500 It wasn't their fault.

00:14:44.080 It was China's fault, not their fault.

00:14:47.260 I am asking Congress to amend this bill and increase the ridiculously low $600 to $2,000 or $4,000 for a couple.

00:14:59.660 Love that.

00:15:00.940 Absolutely.

00:15:01.740 My man, let's do it.

00:15:03.260 What you're going to hear from a lot of left-wingers now is, wait a second, I thought Republicans

00:15:08.600 were concerned about spending too much money.

00:15:11.180 We don't want to spend money on your stupid investments, which are really just payoffs,

00:15:16.900 to the liberal institutions.

00:15:18.020 We don't want to spend a bunch of money to study shrimp running on treadmills. 0.88

00:15:21.580 We don't want to spend a bunch of money on all of that nonsense.

00:15:23.700 But we do want to spend money when you are insisting that Americans not work for a year.

00:15:30.080 So he says, this is not going to work.

00:15:33.260 I am demanding that you increase this number from $600 to $2,000.

00:15:37.140 All of his advisors around him were saying, no, come on, that's not how it's done.

00:15:41.900 You should have said this earlier when the Republicans were negotiating.

00:15:45.280 I don't care about the Republican leadership in the House and in the Senate.

00:15:50.000 What have they done for us lately?

00:15:52.160 The one good thing I'll say about Republican leadership in the Senate, they've given us

00:15:55.460 a lot of judges.

00:15:56.440 Not that it's mattered a whole lot, but it's something.

00:15:59.160 But for the rest, I don't care.

00:16:00.340 Good.

00:16:00.580 Send them back.

00:16:02.180 As President Trump says, this could be the problem for the future administration, but

00:16:07.760 he is not going to put his name on this trash.

00:16:09.620 And then he comes in and says that the next administration might be him.

00:16:15.800 I love that.

00:16:17.200 Thank you.

00:16:17.800 Some fight, some spine.

00:16:19.900 He doesn't have to give this thing up until January 20th.

00:16:23.320 Maybe there will be some deus ex crackina that comes in before then.

00:16:28.220 You know, just that crackin we were promised.

00:16:29.960 Maybe something happens.

00:16:31.320 But even if not, Trump is going to keep on fighting.

00:16:33.840 He's going to keep acting as the President of the United States until the very end.

00:16:37.100 I do hope the next administration is his because Joe Biden is a liar and a crook.

00:16:46.460 Joe Biden is going out from the office of the President-elect and he's giving his sort

00:16:53.980 of silly press conferences to these fawning reporters.

00:16:56.580 And then occasionally you'll get a reporter who doesn't just give him everything he wants.

00:16:59.660 Peter Doocy from Fox News asks Joe Biden if the allegations against his son Hunter,

00:17:07.920 are Russian disinformation.

00:17:11.100 And Joe Biden, oh, he laughs and laughs.

00:17:14.240 Though, of course, those allegations, they're completely ridiculous.

00:17:17.740 It's all Vladimir Putin.

00:17:20.900 Merry Christmas, everybody.

00:17:22.600 Thank you.

00:17:23.160 Mr. President, do you still think that the stories from the fall about your son Hunter

00:17:31.800 were Russian disinformation as near as him, like you said?

00:17:36.140 Yes, yes, yes.

00:17:37.520 God love you, man.

00:17:38.660 You're a one-horse pony.

00:17:40.740 I tell you.

00:17:41.560 Thank you.

00:17:42.600 Thank you.

00:17:43.860 I promise you my Justice Department will be totally on its own making its judgments about

00:17:49.000 how they should proceed.

00:17:50.100 Thank you.

00:17:50.500 First question.

00:17:54.260 What is a one-horse pony?

00:17:57.180 Is that, is there any relation between the one-horse pony, presumably a pony that only

00:18:04.140 rides on one horse, and a dog-faced pony soldier? 0.70

00:18:08.640 Usually, a dog-faced pony soldier could get on a one-trick pony, but I've never heard

00:18:15.200 of a one-horse pony before.

00:18:16.380 I guess Joe got a little confused.

00:18:17.900 How strange, huh?

00:18:19.120 Also, also, the Hunter Biden allegations, which big tech and the mainstream media spent weeks

00:18:28.180 actively suppressing in, in a, an unprecedented way on big tech, they wouldn't even let you

00:18:33.380 message the New York Post article discussing those allegations out.

00:18:37.400 Then later on, they said, oh, look at these allegations.

00:18:39.420 Gosh, what could those be?

00:18:41.460 Those allegations cannot be Russian disinformation because Hunter Biden already confirmed the

00:18:49.080 allegations.

00:18:49.640 He already confirmed that there is an investigation into his finances at the federal level.

00:18:56.660 He can, the, the investigation into his finances has been going on before Bill Barr even got

00:19:00.760 to the DOJ.

00:19:01.620 It, this is another great example where the Biden family needs to get on the same page with regard

00:19:09.680 to their lies because Hunter Biden comes out, says, I never talked to my dad about my, or no,

00:19:17.820 I'm sorry, Joe Biden comes out first.

00:19:19.080 He says, I never talked to Hunter about Hunter's business dealings.

00:19:23.140 Then Hunter goes and gives an interview to a magazine and later to television and said, yeah,

00:19:28.820 I talked to my dad about the business dealings and he said, I better know what I'm doing.

00:19:32.440 And then you can actually, on the TV interview, you see Hunter Biden realized that he wasn't

00:19:36.440 supposed to say that.

00:19:37.000 He goes, I mean, but yeah, but I didn't, we didn't talk.

00:19:39.260 There was no conversation, no conversation.

00:19:41.620 And then thankfully the interviewer actually said, hold on, you just told me there was a

00:19:44.900 conversation.

00:19:45.300 He goes, yeah, well, okay.

00:19:45.980 That was it though, but that was the only conversation.

00:19:47.760 So they're not on the same page.

00:19:49.160 Now we know Joe Biden absolutely 100% knew about Hunter Biden's business dealings.

00:19:57.120 Well, same thing here.

00:19:58.140 Hunter Biden's acknowledging the investigation.

00:20:02.460 Joe Biden probably should too.

00:20:05.400 Joe Biden has been lying for his entire political career.

00:20:08.720 He dropped out of the 1988 race because he lied and plagiarized.

00:20:11.960 He's been lying about really serious things for a long time.

00:20:15.320 Another one of these projections, they always say Trump's the big liar.

00:20:18.280 Trump's, Trump doesn't lie about it.

00:20:19.800 Trump exaggerates his crowd sizes the way that New Yorkers talk.

00:20:23.340 Okay.

00:20:23.560 The way that every single person that I know in New York, they get, sometimes they get a

00:20:27.620 little, they like to embellish their stories a little bit, but it's not a lie.

00:20:32.620 Joe Biden saying, yeah, my son Hunter's crimes are Russian disinformation.

00:20:38.340 That's a lie.

00:20:39.060 That lie matters.

00:20:40.560 That's the liberal establishment for you.

00:20:42.240 When we turn to the woke left, I have to tell you, I got to give them a little bit of credit

00:20:46.400 because the woke left, while they are radical and they would destroy the country, they usually

00:20:50.580 don't lie quite.

00:20:52.780 They say a lot of things that aren't true, but they're earnest.

00:20:54.920 They're sincere about them and they don't lie about themselves.

00:20:57.500 You remember early on when BLM was destroying our country and burning down cities this summer, 0.98

00:21:04.000 conservatives came out and said, you know, these people are Marxists.

00:21:06.740 Because BLM is an evil Marxist organization.

00:21:10.220 It's explicitly Marxist actually.

00:21:12.620 And the liberal establishment said, how, that's racist.

00:21:14.680 That's a lie.

00:21:15.440 How dare you?

00:21:16.180 They're not Marxist.

00:21:17.120 Well, then we got a video of the founder of BLM and she comes in and she says, I'm a trained

00:21:21.100 Marxist.

00:21:22.380 That founder of BLM, Patrice Cullors, just came out to clear up the record.

00:21:31.020 Am I a Marxist?

00:21:33.520 Take a listen.

00:21:34.000 We're going to talk about something that I have been accused of over the last several

00:21:41.220 months.

00:21:42.260 It's been intense at times.

00:21:44.380 It's been hilarious at times, but I feel like I need to set the record straight.

00:21:49.720 Am I a Marxist?

00:21:50.760 I've seen a lot of y'all's comments.

00:21:54.000 In fact, I got them right here.

00:21:57.020 Do not fall for their trick.

00:21:58.720 They're pushing a communist agenda.

00:22:00.860 Sorry, this is really funny.

00:22:04.000 Now, she's laughing.

00:22:06.420 She's mocking this idea.

00:22:07.640 So as you're watching this video, you say, oh, I guess she's not a Marxist or she's at

00:22:11.480 least going to deny that she's a Marxist, right? 0.82

00:22:13.580 Because you see the comment.

00:22:16.280 Don't be fooled.

00:22:16.860 They're pushing a communist agenda.

00:22:18.100 Communist.

00:22:18.620 What would give you the sense that I, the founder of Black Lives Matter, I'm a communist.

00:22:24.280 But then she admits she's a communist.

00:22:25.740 I'm a Marxist.

00:22:27.580 I'm a lot of things.

00:22:29.080 I do believe in Marxism.

00:22:30.680 It's a philosophy that I learned really early on in my organizing career.

00:22:35.040 We were taught to learn about the systems that were criticizing capitalism.

00:22:40.580 We were taught to understand why there were philosophies that were criticizing capitalism.

00:22:48.020 I'm working on making sure that people don't suffer.

00:22:52.440 I'm working to make sure people don't go hungry.

00:22:55.900 And these comments that I've received have been incredibly hurtful.

00:23:00.400 It means that so many people who have listened to people like me inside Black Lives Matter

00:23:06.600 and across other social justice organizations aren't really taking our work very seriously.

00:23:13.020 But I do believe that we can get to a place where there's a socioeconomic system

00:23:18.240 that doesn't oppress some groups of people and only uplifts a few.

00:23:23.520 We can't allow for fear to dictate how we understand what's possible.

00:23:30.420 Did you see that subtle shit?

00:23:31.760 She goes, ha ha ha, I can't believe you're calling me a communist.

00:23:34.000 I mean, yeah, I'm a communist and I support communism and I want there to be a communist

00:23:38.940 system and we shouldn't be afraid of that, right?

00:23:42.080 So it goes from we're being told this is all a lie to being told people are just fear-mongering

00:23:46.740 about this.

00:23:47.240 Actually, communism is great.

00:23:48.640 Communism, not great.

00:23:50.120 Bloodiest ideology ever there was by my count in Soviet Union, in China, all over the third 0.92

00:23:57.600 world.

00:23:59.340 That's what we're being told.

00:24:00.440 Under communism, you understand everybody is equal, but some people are more equal.

00:24:04.000 than others.

00:24:05.420 And we're seeing that play out right now in the socialist supporting squad.

00:24:09.980 There is some members of the squad, these radicals in the Democratic Party who want some

00:24:16.180 certain privileges, particularly when it comes to the vaccine.

00:24:20.480 Now, you can get a special privilege if you become a Daily Wire insider or above member.

00:24:44.680 By the way, you're getting Candace Owens, who's coming to Daily Wire.

00:24:47.240 You can get Apollo 11.

00:24:52.180 Get 20% off with code WATCH.

00:24:54.520 We'll be right back with a lot more.

00:24:55.680 There should be no special privileges for anybody.

00:25:11.120 Everybody has got to get exactly the same sort of stuff.

00:25:15.640 That is what we are told by these socialist supporting radicals in the Democratic Party.

00:25:23.340 And yet, those same most vocal socialists are the ones who want special privileges for

00:25:29.980 themselves, namely Ayanna Pressley, who is known as the Ringo of the squad.

00:25:34.840 She's sort of the least important member of the squad.

00:25:36.920 She's, you know, at least AOC puts on a good show or even Ilhan Omar is sort of cartoonishly

00:25:42.380 wicked and evil giggling about Al Qaeda.

00:25:45.460 Ayanna Pressley just hasn't been able to shine quite as well as the other ones. 1.00

00:25:49.380 Because Ayanna Pressley is coming out now to get the coronavirus vaccine, even though she's 1.00

00:25:56.940 young, seems relatively healthy.

00:25:59.240 She's coming out and getting it before a lot of older people do, even before a lot of healthcare 0.98

00:26:04.800 workers do.

00:26:06.680 And she's advocating a totally new arrangement, a list of priorities for who gets the vaccine,

00:26:13.000 including not just people like herself, but also criminals.

00:26:19.360 Yes, I did have the vaccine administered yesterday in order to maintain the continuity of government,

00:26:26.120 but also because, you know, I live with, like millions of Americans, two pre-existing conditions

00:26:32.640 and doing my part, both to keep myself safe so that I can continue to do my job to fight

00:26:39.820 for my district and the American people, keeping my family safe, but also stopping the spread

00:26:45.160 of this virus, which has raged out of control, which has everything to do with the willful

00:26:49.920 criminality of Donald Trump.

00:26:51.880 And I'm going to continue to fight for our most vulnerable communities who have been

00:26:55.740 disproportionately impacted by the virus, for our healthcare workers, for our essential

00:27:00.720 workers, for incarcerated men and women to be prioritized in the distribution of the vaccine.

00:27:06.840 Wait a second.

00:27:07.760 What?

00:27:08.140 Hold on.

00:27:09.320 I totally expect these political hacks like Ayanna Pressley to come out and say, look, 1.00

00:27:14.700 it's very important for the continuity of government that I, some random congressman,

00:27:21.480 more or less unimportant to the function of government, that I receive this vaccine before

00:27:27.860 anyone else does.

00:27:28.480 I wish I didn't have to, but I have to.

00:27:31.240 I'm so integral to the functioning of the government.

00:27:34.880 You could get rid of half the members of Congress, wouldn't change a thing about the

00:27:38.900 way the government works, but I have to get, okay, you expect that.

00:27:42.420 But then at the end, she says, yeah, we need to give it to people, you know, who've been

00:27:45.480 marginalized, who need the vaccine more than others and to incarcerated men and women.

00:27:51.640 And that's what you need.

00:27:52.920 Hold on.

00:27:55.340 Incarcerated men and women, I guess that's the euphemism for criminals.

00:27:57.760 Criminals get the vaccine before my grandma does. 0.96

00:28:00.500 Are you out of your mind?

00:28:02.180 Have you lost your, I don't know that she had the mind to lose in the first place, but

00:28:06.600 certainly if she ever had one, it is gone.

00:28:10.320 No, criminals don't get prioritized for the vaccine.

00:28:14.580 We've taken our understanding of criminal justice and completely flipped it on its head.

00:28:21.740 You see this most notably on the left here where they cry and they wail and they gnash

00:28:25.960 their teeth and they rend their garments whenever some triple murderer, rapist, serial killer

00:28:30.860 gets his just desserts in the execution chamber.

00:28:33.760 But they clamor, they, they rally, they cheer in support of slaughtering a million innocent

00:28:39.560 babies a year.

00:28:40.780 That's, that's not just a little moral confusion.

00:28:43.540 That's an exact inversion of a, of a serious moral framework.

00:28:48.920 And that's what we're seeing here.

00:28:50.220 I'm not saying you need to torture the criminals.

00:28:53.380 I'm not saying you need to be cruel to the criminals.

00:28:56.560 I'm not saying you need to deprive the criminals of the vaccine, but they don't get first dibs.

00:29:01.660 Are you crazy?

00:29:03.300 Yes, this woman is crazy. 1.00

00:29:06.020 And I should point out selfish and cynical because she's taking this vaccine before other

00:29:11.500 people would get it.

00:29:12.200 Now, because every once in a while, twice a day, a stopped clock is correct.

00:29:20.560 Maybe it's actually a chilly day in hell.

00:29:23.220 I don't know.

00:29:24.640 Ilhan Omar, sort of the most villainous member of the squad, said something correct. 1.00

00:29:32.480 She said something actually pretty wise.

00:29:34.940 She was asked, is seemingly our entire top political leadership getting the vaccine ahead

00:29:40.940 of others because of their age or because of their importance, right?

00:29:44.840 They feel that they're very important.

00:29:46.020 So AOC got the vaccine before elderly people who need it.

00:29:49.800 This woman, Ayanna Pressley, got the vaccine before elderly people who need it. 0.90

00:29:54.600 Ilhan Omar came out and smacked it down and said, I'm not going to get the vaccine before

00:30:01.100 other people.

00:30:01.680 This is wrong.

00:30:02.420 I'm going to wait in line.

00:30:04.260 And as people who are at greater risk of dying from the virus, get it after that.

00:30:09.380 I'll get it because I'm young.

00:30:10.720 I'm healthy and the overall survival rate, according to recent studies, is 99.7%.

00:30:16.540 So that's pretty good.

00:30:17.400 And if you're young and healthy, you have statistically almost zero chance of dying from this thing.

00:30:23.960 That's pretty sensible.

00:30:25.800 I can't believe I'm saying this, but Ilhan Omar has been proving herself this week to be

00:30:31.100 one of the most sensible members of the House Democratic Caucus.

00:30:37.660 Very, very sad and scary thing.

00:30:39.980 Now, how did Ayanna Pressley justify getting this virus or getting this vaccine rather before 1.00

00:30:45.600 elderly people who need it?

00:30:47.440 Well, she said, look, I have pre-existing conditions.

00:30:51.060 She never says what the pre-existing conditions are.

00:30:53.020 She never says how severe it is.

00:30:54.580 She never says what her risk of dying from this vaccine would be.

00:30:57.740 She never explains why her conditions make her more important than elderly people who have 0.99

00:31:02.420 more serious conditions.

00:31:03.800 She says, look, I'm a victim.

00:31:05.640 I don't need to explain to you how I'm a victim.

00:31:07.160 I'm just, I'm a huge, look, the incarcerated men and women, incarcerated Americans with a

00:31:12.860 hyphen in the middle, you know, also known as criminals.

00:31:15.440 They are victims of the system, you know, and oppression and everything.

00:31:19.740 And so they need to get special privileges.

00:31:22.120 If you can claim victimhood in any way, no matter how dubious your claims, you can then demand

00:31:30.800 special privileges.

00:31:32.000 You see this very clearly in a video that went viral over the past few days of a woman

00:31:36.720 with blue hair, which is, I'm not saying 100% of the time it means you've got a certain

00:31:41.980 political view.

00:31:42.880 It's just a kind of way, it's a symbol, okay?

00:31:47.820 It's a, it's a way to guess.

00:31:49.560 It's a way of placing, placing bets.

00:31:51.880 This blue haired lady comes out and she says that a fat people or a victim group, you've got 0.86

00:31:57.140 to stop being fat phobic and we've got to totally reorient society to make fat people

00:32:03.640 feel better about themselves.

00:32:05.380 If you want to be a great ally to fat people, here are some things you can do.

00:32:10.420 When you go to the doctor, encourage them to do the following things.

00:32:13.780 Eliminate any weight or BMI cutoff policies.

00:32:16.920 Stop using the BMI completely because it is ineffective and racist.

00:32:21.420 Get medical equipment that will actually work for fat patients like blood pressure cuffs

00:32:25.380 that fit and won't give a false high reading because they're too tight.

00:32:29.000 Set up their office in a way that makes it usable for fat people, like putting chairs without

00:32:33.200 arms in every room.

00:32:34.640 When you go to a clothing store, tell them to expand their size range.

00:32:38.840 It does not matter what their size range currently is.

00:32:42.060 Tell them to expand it.

00:32:43.600 If you work in education, get in touch with the health and PE departments.

00:32:47.840 Ask them if they have anything in their curriculum that involves students weighing themselves,

00:32:51.540 counting calories, or using the BMI in any capacity.

00:32:55.100 If they do, educate them on how all of these practices lead to eating disorders and ask them

00:32:59.320 to stop.

00:33:00.980 That's a lot of things to do.

00:33:02.960 What would be the purpose of that?

00:33:04.340 Oh, to be an ally to fat people.

00:33:08.780 To be an ally.

00:33:09.640 And what does it mean to be an ally?

00:33:10.620 It means to support people, to, to help them out, to be compassionate.

00:33:14.720 But you'll notice the way that the left has defined compassion means indulging whatever desires or

00:33:25.160 appetites, pun actually not intended, but sort of passions or desires or appetites that people

00:33:32.460 have at any time.

00:33:34.920 That's considered compassion and a little tough love or a little reference to objective reality or a little

00:33:42.100 suggestion that maybe people live a healthier lifestyle or even, as this woman says, the, the body mass index,

00:33:49.780 the, the medical sort of table that tells you if you're maybe a little unhealthy or maybe healthy or maybe this is how you should change your lifestyle.

00:33:58.600 That is considered offensive and an attack on someone and not compassionate, not being an ally.

00:34:05.240 And the opposite is true.

00:34:07.420 If you, you know, people come in all shapes and sizes, not everyone's going to be like a real thin model, nor really should they be.

00:34:13.300 But it is better to be healthy than to be unhealthy.

00:34:16.960 And if you've got compassion for someone who's like 500 pounds, then you might say, hey, maybe, you know, work out a little bit or maybe stop eating, you know, 20 meals a day or maybe get into better shape.

00:34:28.240 I'm an ally to you because I want you to live longer, because I want you to have a better quality of life, because I want you to flourish and I want you to thrive.

00:34:34.920 But now we're not allowed to say that.

00:34:36.120 You see this applied in gender theory to gender ideology, which is if you've got a man who has this sort of either very, very rare psychological condition where he's a man and he thinks he's a woman or he has this kind of social contagion, which is, has been spreading a lot of confusion that, you know, maybe there's something going on in his life.

00:34:56.160 And I don't know, he feels that if he pretends to be a woman, that'll make him feel better or something.

00:35:00.220 The left tells you it's compassionate to lie to them and say, yes, you really are a woman and we're going to let you go change in the little girl's room at the public pool. 0.89

00:35:08.600 And that's going to be really compassionate.

00:35:10.280 That's not compassionate.

00:35:11.240 Lies are never, ever compassionate. 1.00

00:35:14.420 The truth is compassionate.

00:35:15.820 The truth will set you free.

00:35:17.160 This is a new standard.

00:35:18.720 The standard completely flips the old standard.

00:35:21.000 The old standard is the truth will set you free.

00:35:22.720 The new standard is only lies will set you free.

00:35:26.120 I mean, really at the heart of, of all of these kinds of radical ideologies is the idea of a liberation.

00:35:32.260 There's the oppressive past, the oppressive superstructure, the oppressive patriarchy, the oppressive white supremacy, the oppressive thin supremacy, I don't know, whatever.

00:35:39.900 And you've got to be liberated from that.

00:35:42.080 And the way to be liberated is by lying.

00:35:43.840 And actually getting back to, to Marxism, uh, this is, this is almost explicitly the claim here, which is you've got a certain human nature right now.

00:35:51.920 And that's true, but we need to lie about human nature in order to transform human nature.

00:35:56.140 Then we'll have a new human nature and then everything will be tickety-boo.

00:35:59.300 And that's just not how it happens.

00:36:02.440 And nothing, nothing whatsoever is, uh, immune to this.

00:36:09.400 You know, talk about redefining standards.

00:36:12.200 The World Health Organization has redefined the term herd immunity.

00:36:20.800 So in 2019, you can read the definition of herd immunity was one of virus spreads or whatever illness spreads throughout a population.

00:36:28.780 And then enough of them have gotten it that they develop an immunity and then therefore it's not going to spread as quickly.

00:36:33.640 2020, the World Health Organization changed that definition to saying that it's when enough of the population gets a vaccine.

00:36:42.200 Now, that, uh, the word Orwellian is overused, so I, I don't, I don't want to use it.

00:36:50.880 But sometimes when the shoe fits, the shoe fits.

00:36:53.540 This is, this is what they do.

00:36:55.960 This is what the left does, is redefines everything.

00:36:59.100 There's this line in 1984 where, uh, Winston is speaking and he says, you know, every record has been altered.

00:37:07.120 Every history has been rewritten.

00:37:08.680 Nothing exists except the eternal present in which the party is always right.

00:37:13.580 Well, that's what's happening.

00:37:14.920 And the, the part of the left and even part of the squishy right has this pretense, this fantasy they live under, that there's the political realm and then there's science.

00:37:24.580 You know, and science is the special thing outside of politics.

00:37:27.780 And so forget, we shouldn't make things political.

00:37:29.560 We should just defer to science and that'll tell us how to live our lives.

00:37:32.740 And, and the simple fact of the matter is that demagogues and almost exclusively demagogues rely on science to push their political agenda.

00:37:42.480 Because it's a way of, of implying that your position is beyond the realm of debate and that everybody has to go along with it.

00:37:50.560 And the left takes a scientific view of history and politics and the right doesn't want to engage in difficult questions.

00:37:56.300 So they want to defer to science too.

00:37:57.740 And they don't like being called uneducated and they don't like being called idiots.

00:38:00.660 So they'll defer to that as well.

00:38:02.160 But I think what the World Health Organization is showing you here is that even science exists within a context.

00:38:07.820 Why did our understanding of modern science even arise?

00:38:11.180 Why did it arise here in the West when it did and it didn't arise elsewhere in the world at other times?

00:38:17.620 Because of Christianity, basically. 0.89

00:38:21.080 But because of Christianity, which gave us the university system during the Middle Ages, which allowed modern science to flourish.

00:38:28.680 Because of the Christian understanding of God, who is logic, right? 0.82

00:38:33.840 As opposed to say Allah, the God of Islam, who is pure will, right? 0.93

00:38:37.920 Who is not bound in any way by logic.

00:38:39.760 Well, if, if you worship a God who is logic, then, then logic and a sort of detachment, objective reality are going to play a far greater role in your culture, in the, in the way that you understand yourself, in the way that you understand the world.

00:38:54.300 And even, even, even science will bend the knee to the dominant cultural narrative.

00:39:03.420 You saw this, the New England Journal of Medicine just did this a couple of weeks ago, where they said we, a number of doctors there said we should no longer have sex on birth certificates.

00:39:13.460 Because that's oppressive somehow.

00:39:15.880 So now science is denied, an actual scientific medical journal is denying biological sex.

00:39:24.420 Redefining standards.

00:39:25.580 This is something Trump really, really understood.

00:39:28.200 It's why he said, my campaign is basically out here to, to oppose political correctness in 2015.

00:39:33.640 Because that is the new standard.

00:39:35.200 It goes by other names, wokeism, whatever.

00:39:36.960 But political correctness is kind of what we're talking about.

00:39:39.240 And this affects not just science, not just politics.

00:39:42.040 It affects even our buildings.

00:39:43.300 And President Trump has just issued an executive order that is so beautiful.

00:39:49.280 People think this is a trivial issue because it regards beauty, regards architecture, it regards buildings.

00:39:56.080 Actually, this executive order might be the most significant legacy of the entire Trump administration.

00:40:03.100 Forget the judges, forget the tax cuts.

00:40:05.980 This could be the, the long, longest lasting.

00:40:08.840 His buildings last a long time.

00:40:10.040 President Trump signs this new executive order prohibiting new federal buildings from being built in anything other than neoclassical, Georgian, federal, Greek revival, Beaux-Arts, or Art Deco styles.

00:40:25.040 Thank you, thank you, thank you so much.

00:40:29.600 If you have been to Washington, D.C., you know that there, there are two Washington, D.C.s.

00:40:36.660 There's the Washington, D.C. of the big, beautiful, the monuments, some of the monuments.

00:40:43.260 Now, I guess the more recent monuments are pretty ugly.

00:40:45.140 But the older monuments, the older buildings are grand.

00:40:48.820 They're stately.

00:40:49.540 They're beautiful.

00:40:50.480 And then there's the hideous, brutalist, modern D.C. of these ugly office buildings filled with people who are doing ugly work for a government that does ugly things.

00:41:03.800 Those are the two different kinds of D.C.

00:41:06.060 Maybe you see this most notably in courthouses.

00:41:08.600 You have the old courthouses, which are stately, columns, ornamentation, high ceilings.

00:41:17.280 And you have new courthouses, which are hideous, which are small, which are ugly.

00:41:22.760 And these reflect different views of the law.

00:41:26.340 In the one view, the law is eternal, at least long enduring.

00:41:31.600 The law is grander than all of us.

00:41:34.340 It's bigger than men. 0.78

00:41:35.500 We are dwarfs standing before the law.

00:41:40.240 It looks in a way like a temple because in a way it is a temple.

00:41:45.020 It is a, there is a religious significance to the law, to justice, right?

00:41:50.840 That's the old version.

00:41:52.280 The new version, this small little place, it's like any other office.

00:41:55.400 It's kind of just reminds us of our homes, maybe our apartment building, our office building.

00:42:00.560 And we're going to kind of do whatever we want here.

00:42:03.120 This is just about us.

00:42:05.500 And, and you can look, the country was in many ways more serious about the law, more

00:42:14.020 serious about philosophy back when we had those kinds of beautiful buildings.

00:42:20.980 Beyond that, and this is where I think some of the extremist small government people kind

00:42:27.800 of lose me, is there is such a thing as the public, public spaces, and you want them to

00:42:33.660 be beautiful.

00:42:35.060 Goodness, truth, and beauty.

00:42:36.220 That's what you want.

00:42:37.640 That's what you're after, right?

00:42:39.260 And if you live in an ugly place, you're going to have an, an often an ugly life.

00:42:43.320 You're going to, it's going to affect the way you think.

00:42:44.840 It's going to affect the way you feel about yourself.

00:42:46.360 It's going to affect the way you feel about your country.

00:42:48.000 That's why they built all these beautiful buildings in the first place.

00:42:50.640 That's why great civilizations have great buildings.

00:42:54.280 And President Trump is saying, I don't want these ugly things anymore.

00:42:58.100 I want, he initially called this the make federal buildings beautiful again, executive

00:43:02.280 order.

00:43:02.640 He proposed it in February.

00:43:04.140 He's retitled it in the actual executive order, promoting beautiful federal civic architecture.

00:43:10.940 And this executive order, you know, if it's not repealed will, could be very significant

00:43:17.080 because these buildings endure a long time.

00:43:18.460 Now, some people criticize the executive orders.

00:43:20.540 They say, well, look, Biden can just repeal the executive orders.

00:43:23.280 Trump needs to pass laws.

00:43:25.740 I kind of disagree with this, actually.

00:43:28.020 It's good to pass laws, I guess.

00:43:29.480 But the fact is our legislators in the Congress don't really write most of our laws.

00:43:35.440 They barely write any of our laws.

00:43:37.000 Our laws effectively are written by bureaucrats in the executive agencies with very little oversight.

00:43:43.120 And therefore, if that's where the laws are written, then the best way to rein those in,

00:43:49.440 the best way to try to effect some political change is through executive order, right?

00:43:54.540 Because you're directing the agencies and the agency is the ones writing the laws.

00:43:57.560 Maybe that's not the way the Constitution set it up, but that is practically the way things

00:44:02.140 are working.

00:44:02.760 Speaking of new federal buildings, by the way, we're about to get to unfortunate federal buildings.

00:44:08.100 The Smithsonian's Women's History Museum Act and the National Museum of the American Latino Act

00:44:17.320 were just folded into the massive legislation that was put into the Coronavirus Relief and

00:44:23.240 Government Funding Package.

00:44:24.500 This is one of the many reasons that this stupid bill should be shot down.

00:44:28.140 We should not have a Women's History Museum or a National Museum of the American Latino,

00:44:35.120 Latino, not because women and Latinos don't deserve recognition for things they've done, 1.00

00:44:41.220 but because to separate the Women's History Museum and the Latino History Museum from the

00:44:48.000 American History Museum is to imply that women and Latinos are not American. 0.99

00:44:52.300 And that's exactly what the leftist cynics who are pushing for these stupid buildings

00:44:57.960 are trying to imply.

00:44:59.740 They're trying to say, yeah, this America has excluded all of you.

00:45:02.260 You have nothing to do with America. 0.81

00:45:03.340 We're all very different.

00:45:04.060 We all need to remain divided so that we on the left can conquer you.

00:45:07.740 Mike Lee, senator from Utah, totally gets this and explained the problem with this legislation

00:45:13.680 as he was invading against it.

00:45:17.040 For that reason, the Smithsonian Institution is more than just another line item in our federal budget.

00:45:24.200 It's one of the great cultural triumphs of our republic.

00:45:27.460 From the moment of our founding, the United States has faced an almost unique problem in history.

00:45:35.980 How do we turn our huge nation's cultural, religious, ethnic, and regional differences from a potential weakness into a real strength?

00:45:46.040 The way our nation has always achieved this is by creating institutions that unite Americans around shared interests and the mystic cords of collective memory.

00:45:57.520 The Constitution, the Constitution, the Senate itself, our free enterprise economy, our armed forces and public schools, federalism, localism, the First Amendment, and even March Madness all fit this bill.

00:46:13.640 They have the power to harness our individual and community differences to the common good of the whole nation.

00:46:20.180 Totally right. He gets it. This is an extraordinarily insightful take.

00:46:26.060 It is simply a fact that human beings are tribal.

00:46:29.980 It is simply a fact that a challenge in the United States is that you've got lots of different tribes. 1.00

00:46:36.100 First, among the colonies between different religious groups, and also different ethnic groups from within Northern Europe,

00:46:43.200 then different ethnic groups from including Southern Europe, some of whom didn't like one another.

00:46:47.440 The Italians and the Irish didn't like each other very much.

00:46:49.340 Then different ethnic groups from all over the world, and this persistent issue of slavery, which became rather racialized during, especially during the 19th century.

00:46:59.640 And so you've got these different tribal groups.

00:47:02.600 How do you all get along?

00:47:03.880 Common religion? We don't really have a common religion.

00:47:05.880 Broadly, we have broadly the common religion of Christianity, but there are some exceptions to that.

00:47:10.700 We've got common language, sort of, not as much anymore.

00:47:13.900 We don't have common race. We don't have common sexual desire, I guess, would be a new differentiator today.

00:47:20.800 So how do you all come together?

00:47:22.260 Well, what Lee was doing there was referring to a line of, I think, Abraham Lincoln, right?

00:47:27.520 The mystic chords of memory.

00:47:28.740 This idea that we all have to come together to agree on the idea of our country, the traditions of our country, the history of our country.

00:47:37.400 We need to hold that up. We need to support that. We need to believe in that sort of thing.

00:47:42.180 And unfortunately, on the left, they want to divide that up.

00:47:50.020 Either you will come together as Americans and say, we all support this country.

00:47:55.080 You know, you won't protest the American flag. You won't burn the American flag.

00:47:57.540 You'll say, well, we, at the very least, the one thing that unites us is that we're Americans.

00:48:02.340 You've got the mystic chords of memory, to use the old phrase.

00:48:06.160 You've got Trump's phrase that we all bleed the same red blood of patriots.

00:48:09.800 Either you will have that or you won't have a country because of human nature, because of the unique history of this country.

00:48:17.920 Very, very bad idea to continue to push these divisive sort of buildings and ideas.

00:48:23.220 I'll give you an example of one of the clear ways that we're all sort of finally divided up.

00:48:36.620 Very few people believe that this vaccine is safe.

00:48:41.820 Just 49% of Americans.

00:48:44.540 Most people do not believe that this vaccine is safe.

00:48:48.220 Why is that?

00:48:49.300 Is it because of the science?

00:48:50.400 Is it because of the way that this was rolled out?

00:48:55.660 Perhaps.

00:48:56.140 I think it's because we don't quite trust the country anymore.

00:48:59.380 We don't have faith in our institutions.

00:49:01.440 We'll have to leave it there for today.

00:49:03.040 We'll get more into that tomorrow.

00:49:05.260 Do we want a country?

00:49:06.220 Do we want to have a country?

00:49:07.080 Do we want to be together as a country?

00:49:09.060 Or do we not?

00:49:10.900 Well, we're going into a new year.

00:49:12.300 Are America's brightest days ahead or are our darkest days ahead?

00:49:16.440 I suppose that's up to us.
