00:00:30.600 It is Inauguration Day, I'm sorry to say,

00:00:34.720 and I'm sorry for a number of reasons,

00:00:36.820 not the least of which is,

00:00:38.520 certainly now we're going to see a lot of violence 0.91

00:00:41.720 from those insurrectionist, terroristic Republicans

00:00:46.140 who just a few weeks ago

00:00:47.820 committed an unprecedented, shocking, historic,

00:00:52.200 coup d'etat-type act of violence at the Capitol.

00:00:55.820 I can only imagine that

00:00:57.220 as a matter of unprecedented,

00:00:59.540 historic, unprecedented violence,

00:01:01.380 we're going to see that kind of awful,

00:01:03.100 terrible stuff today at the inauguration.

00:01:05.860 Not everyone gathered here in Washington today

00:01:08.060 came to celebrate President Trump's inauguration.

00:01:10.740 Protesters lined part of the parade route,

00:01:12.700 and in some parts of the Capitol,

00:01:14.280 there were confrontations with police.

00:01:16.520 The anger reaching a boiling point in the nation's Capitol

00:01:21.800 after President Trump took the oath of office.

00:01:25.240 Police in riot gear facing off against the protesters

00:01:28.500 just six blocks from the inaugural parade.

00:01:32.780 Unleashing pepper spray,

00:01:34.780 concussion grenades,

00:01:35.960 all to disperse the crowd.

00:01:38.580 Burning cars and smashed windows,

00:01:41.040 a small group of protesters dressed in black,

00:01:44.180 their faces covered,

00:01:45.200 armed with hammers and bricks.

00:01:48.920 Facing off with thousands of officers on site,

00:01:52.160 many in riot gear,

00:01:53.360 confronting them with flashbang grenades

00:01:55.400 and pepper spray.

00:01:57.360 Before the swearing-in ceremony even began,

00:02:00.480 protesters tried to block checkpoint entrances.

00:02:03.820 During President Trump's speech,

00:02:05.780 several demonstrators were escorted out of the area.

00:02:09.300 Several officers injured during the protest today,

00:02:12.240 and more than 100 people arrested.

00:02:14.360 More than 100 people arrested

00:02:16.120 for things like setting cars on fire,

00:02:18.480 setting stores on fire,

00:02:20.280 assaulting countless people.

00:02:22.100 That was the last one.

00:02:23.200 That wasn't this one.

00:02:24.220 That's so weird.

00:02:24.880 That was at the inauguration of President Trump.

00:02:27.420 And we're not talking about that today

00:02:29.100 because no one cares about political violence

00:02:31.580 or lawlessness

00:02:32.760 or any other insanity

00:02:34.840 when it comes from the left

00:02:36.440 because that's just the status quo.

00:02:39.300 And if Joe Biden's inauguration means anything,

00:02:42.760 it means a return to normalcy,

00:02:45.860 a return to decadent, degraded normalcy.

00:02:49.820 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:02:50.520 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:02:58.480 Welcome back to the show.

00:03:00.780 My favorite comment from last week

00:03:03.320 was from Joe Mann.

00:03:05.100 Who was referring to the Daily Wire movie

00:03:07.120 which just came out?

00:03:08.080 He said,

00:03:08.640 without even watching,

00:03:09.560 you already know that Run, Hide, Fight is good

00:03:11.520 since the audience gave it a 98

00:03:13.320 and the leftist critics gave it a 17

00:03:15.620 on Rotten Tomatoes.

00:03:16.740 That is true.

00:03:17.260 That is one of the keys to it.

00:03:18.760 The left sort of critical Hollywood establishment

00:03:21.800 is furious about this movie,

00:03:23.760 but the audience seemed to really like it.

00:03:25.500 So thanks everyone for coming out,

00:03:27.140 hanging out with us.

00:03:27.760 I guess that might've been the last time

00:03:30.140 that we were all hanging out together

00:03:31.600 because I took a couple of days off.

00:03:35.100 You know, I am genuinely very, very sad

00:03:40.160 about President Trump's leaving office,

00:03:44.060 you know, and there are a number of reasons

00:03:46.060 of this for this,

00:03:48.040 but I, one of it is I really want to be prepared.

00:03:51.200 You always want to be prepared

00:03:52.380 for the worst things that can happen.

00:03:53.900 And, but luckily I am prepared

00:03:55.820 and that's because I have a ReadyWise.

00:04:24.860 Well, it's, it'll be fine.

00:04:25.820 I'll be all right.

00:04:26.580 Then 2020 happened, you know,

00:05:01.920 You know how much I love them.

00:05:05.180 I am genuinely very, very sad

00:05:07.700 that President Trump is leaving office.

00:05:10.760 It's been so fun.

00:05:12.280 It has been the most fun political experience

00:05:14.400 of my life that I've ever lived through.

00:05:17.220 Conservatives, I think, have accomplished

00:05:18.640 more certainly than we've accomplished in my life

00:05:20.560 and probably for many decades before that.

00:05:24.560 So I am genuinely very sad on Inauguration Day.

00:05:28.680 However, I'm not that sad generally

00:05:30.520 because the reason I've been out the past couple days

00:05:32.440 is I just had a kid.

00:05:34.100 I wish, thank you to everybody

00:05:36.200 for sending in the well wishes.

00:05:40.080 My son has now already mastered

00:05:42.940 expressions of bemused dismay

00:05:45.740 and droll self-satisfaction.

00:05:48.000 I posted some of these photos over the weekend.

00:05:50.060 That means that he now has mastered

00:05:52.380 the entire breadth of conservative emotions.

00:05:56.520 That's pretty much it.

00:05:57.640 That's pretty much all you can get to.

00:05:59.460 So we're all very excited about that.

00:06:01.700 It is helping to temper our sadness

00:06:04.120 that President Covfefe is leaving office,

00:06:07.080 which is a genuinely sad thing.

00:06:09.140 We can now say we have at least one new conservative American

00:06:13.800 future voter for good things on this earth

00:06:19.580 and in this country.

00:06:21.200 One new conservative American

00:06:23.160 soon to be joined by,

00:06:25.580 I'm afraid to say,

00:06:27.840 11 million new overwhelmingly left-wing Americans.

00:06:33.600 So you see, one thing I was really happy about

00:06:35.380 with the birth of my son is that,

00:06:38.880 well, there were obviously many, many things

00:06:40.400 I was very happy about,

00:06:41.500 but not the least of which was,

00:06:43.140 he is not a Biden baby.

00:06:45.840 You see, he was due on the 18th for a first child.

00:06:49.120 It's typical for the kid to come later than the due date.

00:06:51.640 I thought, no, Biden becomes president on the 20th.

00:06:54.820 This is going to be a Biden baby.

00:06:56.160 He's going to miss out on all the fun.

00:06:58.160 But he got in on time.

00:06:59.800 So he got in two days before the Biden presidency.

00:07:02.480 And we're very excited for that.

00:07:04.520 But all the more reason that I haven't slept in a few days

00:07:08.000 if I fall asleep at the desk today,

00:07:09.980 that's, you know, perfectly fine.

00:07:11.340 Just have someone come in and poke me. 1.00

00:07:14.160 Because we're going to fall asleep, unfortunately.

00:07:16.640 Not today.

00:07:18.360 We're going to fall asleep for the next four years.

00:07:20.820 And it's not going to be because

00:07:22.100 everything is perfectly fine and hunky-dory.

00:07:25.680 It's because it's going to go back

00:07:27.480 to the radical status quo

00:07:29.500 that we had in effect before Trump came into office.

00:07:32.880 Before Trump came into office,

00:07:35.240 things were happening very, very quickly.

00:07:38.020 I mean, just to give you a quick example.

00:07:40.220 We went from, on the issue of same-sex marriage.

00:07:44.200 Whatever your views on same-sex marriage,

00:07:45.520 that's actually not my point right now.

00:07:47.700 You had one definition, more or less, of marriage

00:07:50.280 for all of human history.

00:07:51.540 Then with Obergefell, at the insistence of Obama,

00:07:55.140 you had a fundamental redefinition of marriage.

00:07:57.420 And then a year after that,

00:07:59.840 you had the apparently fundamental right

00:08:02.840 for men to go use the women's bathroom 1.00

00:08:04.600 and for men to go and to use the girls' changing room 0.95

00:08:08.780 at the public pool.

00:08:09.960 That's how quickly this sort of thing can accelerate.

00:08:13.460 When Barack Obama ran for president in 2008,

00:08:15.680 he opposed gay marriage in very strong terms.

00:08:19.660 Hillary Clinton too, right? 0.53

00:08:20.880 They said this was marriage is a sacred union

00:08:23.520 between a man and a woman,

00:08:24.520 and they have no intent on overturning it.

00:08:27.620 Then Obama in 2012,

00:08:29.000 it wasn't until right around the second term

00:08:31.000 that he changes his view on that.

00:08:33.640 Within a couple of years,

00:08:35.580 you now have this sort of fundamental right

00:08:37.320 to transgenderism

00:08:38.500 and all of these kind of radical sexual ideologies.

00:08:42.300 The acceleration was really, really quick.

00:08:44.280 We went from Barack Obama saying

00:08:46.420 that it would be unconstitutional

00:08:48.100 to give that executive amnesty

00:08:49.520 just to the dreamers, right?

00:08:51.180 And the dreamers, actually,

00:08:52.200 they're now as old as 44 years old,

00:08:53.840 but at least the image of the dreamers

00:08:55.460 is that they're supposed to be like six years old

00:08:57.140 and they're really cute

00:08:57.900 and, you know, their parents brought them over

00:08:59.460 and it's not their fault

00:09:00.220 and we've got to give them amnesty.

00:09:02.500 We went from Barack Obama saying

00:09:04.520 that would be unconstitutional

00:09:06.240 to it's so in effect

00:09:11.540 that even Donald Trump can't overturn it.

00:09:15.040 He tried, courts shut it down.

00:09:16.720 Now we're at the place where Joe Biden says

00:09:19.500 we're going to give amnesty to 11 million people,

00:09:21.480 path to citizenship future Democratic voters.

00:09:24.940 And that is just a fact, by the way.

00:09:26.940 I'm hoping that somehow these voters

00:09:30.260 will become conservative Republicans.

00:09:31.980 I hope Reagan is right when he says

00:09:33.260 that a lot of these voters are Republicans.

00:09:35.180 They just don't know it yet.

00:09:36.280 But the public opinion polls

00:09:38.180 don't really bear it out.

00:09:39.160 It would seem that recent immigrants

00:09:42.880 from Latin America

00:09:44.160 identify with the Democratic Party overwhelmingly.

00:09:47.820 You're talking about 80% plus

00:09:50.860 and which is, of course,

00:09:52.480 the reason why Democrats are so keen

00:09:54.200 on pushing for amnesty.

00:09:56.960 That's a radical policy, right?

00:09:58.940 But we don't feel like it's radical

00:10:01.160 because we're like the frog in the hot water.

00:10:04.500 As things continue to heat up and heat up

00:10:06.620 and get more radical and more radical,

00:10:08.460 we're just not paying attention to it.

00:10:10.360 And there is the full force

00:10:12.480 of the media, higher education,

00:10:15.600 lower education for that matter,

00:10:16.820 big tech, especially now big tech.

00:10:19.000 We'll get to that in a second.

00:10:20.460 The bureaucracy, everybody is pushing for it.

00:10:24.000 And so ordinary Americans

00:10:26.000 who maybe don't have institutional power

00:10:28.020 and certainly have zero institutional power

00:10:30.140 now that Trump is leaving,

00:10:31.180 they're going to look up and say,

00:10:32.160 wait a second, what?

00:10:32.900 What is happening?

00:10:33.640 You're going to legalize 11 million people

00:10:35.840 and then you're going to upend the voting system

00:10:37.720 or you're going to keep the upended voting system

00:10:39.900 that we had in 2020.

00:10:42.000 This doesn't look good, guys.

00:10:44.140 And there's not going to be very much to do about it

00:10:46.200 because the entire weight of the establishment

00:10:48.200 is behind it.

00:10:50.780 The way we know about this 11 million

00:10:52.720 illegal alien policy, by the way,

00:10:54.500 is because it's being reported on

00:10:56.220 by the mainstream media.

00:10:57.740 And this brings me to one point

00:11:00.080 that I think people sometimes forget

00:11:01.940 when we've got a Republican administration

00:11:03.680 and then we have a Democratic administration.

00:11:06.540 We beat up on the media all the time, right?

00:11:08.440 We say these reports are unfounded, 0.99

00:11:10.200 they're ridiculous, 0.99

00:11:11.040 it's the fake news, 1.00

00:11:11.840 don't believe it.

00:11:12.560 So why should I believe a report

00:11:14.820 from whether it's the New York Times

00:11:16.400 or NBC or whoever

00:11:17.440 that says that Biden's going to legalize 11 million

00:11:20.260 or that's what's being talked about?

00:11:23.680 When the media report on a Democratic policy,

00:11:28.560 that is a fundamentally different thing

00:11:31.400 than when the media report

00:11:33.080 on a Republican policy.

00:11:34.720 And the reason for that is

00:11:36.220 that the media are the Democrats

00:11:38.720 and the Democrats are the media.

00:11:40.500 Whereas when it comes to the Republicans,

00:11:43.180 they are adversaries, right?

00:11:45.320 The Republicans hate the media,

00:11:46.460 the media hate the Republicans.

00:11:48.380 So the media are always looking

00:11:50.220 to try to antagonize the Republicans

00:11:53.500 and they don't have particularly good sources.

00:11:55.800 Whereas with the Democrats, they do.

00:11:57.340 And so when something like this is being leaked,

00:11:59.520 you know it's being leaked by the administration.

00:12:01.620 You know they're floating it out there

00:12:02.700 to see what the reaction is.

00:12:04.120 And you know, they know that they're going

00:12:05.800 to get good press coverage.

00:12:07.540 So it is going to be more reliable.

00:12:09.560 You're actually going to have to change

00:12:10.920 how you look at the media

00:12:12.900 from where you have been looking at them

00:12:14.860 for the past four years.

00:12:17.140 And the other evidence of radicalism,

00:12:20.680 you don't even need to look

00:12:21.420 to the New York Times for.

00:12:22.520 You don't even need to look to NBC

00:12:25.120 or Washington Post

00:12:26.020 because some of these nominees

00:12:27.860 are already coming up.

00:12:29.340 And they are really, really radical.

00:12:32.360 And they're radical on matters of education.

00:12:35.680 And they're radical on matters of public health.

00:12:39.120 Certainly public health has become

00:12:40.420 the big issue of 2020.

00:12:43.580 And Joe Biden has an historic public health nominee,

00:12:47.960 which we'll get to.

00:12:48.720 We'll probably get censored if we even talk about it.

00:12:50.360 But we're going to have to talk about it anyway.

00:12:52.300 And they are radical specifically

00:12:54.100 on this issue of immigration.

00:12:56.860 And maybe the most surprising thing

00:13:00.020 you're going to see,

00:13:00.640 even just in the next few weeks,

00:13:01.880 is not that you can believe the media

00:13:03.740 a little bit more

00:13:04.320 when they report on Democrat policies

00:13:05.920 because the media are basically

00:13:07.760 the press secretaries.

00:13:09.940 One of the most shocking things

00:13:11.280 is that heretofore,

00:13:13.540 squishy Republicans

00:13:14.380 are going to seem to grow a backbone.

00:13:16.100 They're going to seem to grow a spine.

00:13:17.860 Even guys like,

00:13:19.360 I can't believe I'm saying this,

00:13:21.000 guys like Mitt Romney

00:13:22.140 are about to seem

00:13:24.040 like strong, tough conservatives

00:13:26.820 who want to defend the country

00:13:28.080 and don't want amnesty.

00:13:29.400 Not only are you going to see it,

00:13:30.800 you're already seeing it.

00:13:34.700 A huge, huge surprise.

00:13:38.100 You know, I'm often surprised

00:13:40.040 when I go to the auto parts store

00:13:41.480 and they charge me a lot of money

00:13:42.840 and they ask me a lot of questions

00:13:43.780 about things I don't know anything about.

00:13:45.340 I don't do that.

00:13:46.020 You go to rockauto.com,

00:13:47.160 it's much, much easier,

00:13:48.680 much, much better family-owned business.

00:13:50.400 Rockauto.com is so much easier

00:13:52.580 than walking into a store

00:13:53.800 and someone demanding quick answers

00:13:55.580 to questions like, for instance,

00:13:57.420 is your Odyssey an LX or an EX?

00:13:59.660 I don't know what kind of EX my Odyssey is.

00:14:01.620 Why are you asking me that?

00:14:03.140 Then, they usually won't have the part

00:14:05.200 in the store,

00:14:05.700 so they'll go into the back.

00:14:06.740 They'll probably go to rockauto.com,

00:14:08.020 order the part,

00:14:08.700 then charge you twice as much.

00:14:10.180 You don't need to do that.

00:14:11.920 You can access rockauto.com

00:14:13.560 at your desk and in your pocket.

00:14:15.520 Best of all,

00:14:17.580 are always reliably low.

00:14:19.380 They are the same for professionals

00:14:20.720 and do-it-yourselfers.

00:14:22.200 Why would you want to spend

00:14:23.140 up to twice as much

00:14:24.000 for the same parts?

00:14:47.760 which, as far as I can tell,

00:14:48.700 is like the whole history

00:14:49.500 of the internet.

00:14:50.280 Write in Knowles

00:14:51.040 in the How Did You Hear About Us box

00:14:58.500 Mitt Romney.

00:15:00.020 Mitt Romney,

00:15:01.920 the most liberal Republican

00:15:03.540 in the Senate,

00:15:05.100 certainly in the top three,

00:15:07.800 just came out to grill

00:15:09.280 the Joe Biden

00:15:11.420 Department of Homeland Security nominee.

00:15:15.480 He came out because DHS

00:15:17.420 is going to be dealing

00:15:18.440 with caravans of people

00:15:19.680 that are coming up

00:15:20.480 to the southern border.

00:15:23.600 He's going to be dealing

00:15:24.160 with a lot of immigration issues.

00:15:25.700 And Mitt wants to know,

00:15:26.800 I can't believe I'm saying this,

00:15:27.740 he wants to know

00:15:28.580 if they're going to turn

00:15:30.420 those immigrants away 1.00

00:15:31.720 or if they're going

00:15:32.500 to flat the law.

00:15:33.960 What is your intention

00:15:35.100 with regards to that caravan

00:15:37.340 that is coming to our border?

00:15:39.980 Is your intention

00:15:40.760 to allow them

00:15:41.460 just to come into the country? 0.51

00:15:42.760 Will they be stopped?

00:15:43.820 What's the plan?

00:15:46.540 Senator,

00:15:47.400 we are a nation

00:15:50.800 of immigrants

00:15:52.080 and we are also

00:15:53.680 and we are also

00:15:53.700 a nation of laws

00:15:55.580 and I intend

00:15:57.100 to apply the law

00:15:59.020 in the execution

00:16:00.200 of my responsibilities

00:16:01.780 as the Secretary

00:16:02.660 of Homeland Security

00:16:03.640 should I have that privilege.

00:16:05.260 I understand that.

00:16:06.480 And what does that mean

00:16:07.660 in this regard?

00:16:09.000 Does that mean

00:16:09.340 that they will be interdicted

00:16:10.500 and rejected

00:16:11.380 from coming into the country,

00:16:12.800 evaluated one by one?

00:16:14.160 What's the plan?

00:16:15.740 Senator,

00:16:16.580 when people present themselves

00:16:18.240 at our border,

00:16:19.540 we apply the laws

00:16:21.120 of our nation

00:16:21.700 to determine

00:16:22.380 whether they qualify

00:16:23.820 for relief

00:16:24.640 under our humanitarian laws

00:16:26.380 or whether they don't?

00:16:32.700 Kind of uncertain there.

00:16:35.280 Gee, you don't say, huh, Mitt?

00:16:37.020 I actually got to tell you,

00:16:38.480 I appreciated

00:16:39.120 this grilling that he gave him.

00:16:40.660 The nominee is Alejandro Mayorkas.

00:16:43.720 He's obviously going to give

00:16:45.120 all of these people amnesty

00:16:46.180 because his boss, Joe Biden,

00:16:47.780 is saying,

00:16:48.540 I want to give amnesty

00:16:49.260 to 11 million people.

00:16:50.740 And now Mitt Romney

00:16:51.500 is coming in

00:16:52.000 and you're probably

00:16:52.440 very confused.

00:16:53.320 You're saying,

00:16:53.620 why is Mitt,

00:16:54.600 the squishiest of the squishes

00:16:55.920 in the Senate,

00:16:57.080 why is he trying to

00:16:58.260 fight against illegal immigration?

00:17:01.060 A couple of reasons.

00:17:02.500 One, this is,

00:17:03.460 this is like the top level reason,

00:17:05.400 you know,

00:17:05.800 the most obvious

00:17:06.880 is maybe Mitt is thinking

00:17:08.340 about running

00:17:08.840 for president again.

00:17:10.480 I think very few people

00:17:11.760 would expect him to win

00:17:14.080 and probably few people

00:17:15.480 even would expect him to run,

00:17:16.800 but the guy has run

00:17:17.540 for president

00:17:18.080 on a number of occasions.

00:17:19.400 He got the nomination

00:17:20.260 one time.

00:17:22.200 After the Trump era,

00:17:23.420 things are going to change.

00:17:24.540 Maybe Romney thinks

00:17:25.320 there's going to be a way

00:17:26.200 for him to recapture

00:17:27.940 the kind of squishy

00:17:28.760 moderate route or something.

00:17:30.140 So maybe that's it.

00:17:31.180 But I think it's actually

00:17:31.900 deeper than that.

00:17:33.520 I think the reason

00:17:34.380 that Romney is doing

00:17:36.100 this sort of thing

00:17:36.900 is because

00:17:38.340 there's no longer

00:17:39.960 a Republican president.

00:17:41.500 So Romney,

00:17:42.820 it's not just this,

00:17:43.680 this grilling here.

00:17:45.380 Romney is actually

00:17:46.160 having a moment.

00:17:47.740 So you'll recall

00:17:48.360 during the reporting

00:17:49.380 from the Capitol Hill riot,

00:17:51.740 there was a report out

00:17:53.060 that Mitt Romney

00:17:53.980 turned to Ted Cruz

00:17:55.460 and said,

00:17:56.120 are you happy with this, Ted?

00:17:57.440 Are you happy with

00:17:57.960 what you've done?

00:17:58.360 Something like that.

00:17:58.940 Different versions of this

00:17:59.840 going around the internet.

00:18:00.520 Is it true or not?

00:18:01.060 I have no idea.

00:18:01.840 But this was being reported

00:18:03.100 in real time.

00:18:04.220 And it obviously fits

00:18:05.380 with Romney's character

00:18:06.540 as a squishy guy

00:18:08.320 who didn't want

00:18:09.600 Trump to be president,

00:18:10.420 wanted Biden to be president,

00:18:11.420 wanted to move on.

00:18:12.060 But now CNN is reporting,

00:18:15.180 CNN Manu Raju is reporting

00:18:16.780 that Mitt Romney told him

00:18:19.160 that Cruz and Hawley

00:18:21.100 should not be punished

00:18:22.140 in any way

00:18:22.840 for objecting

00:18:24.480 to the electoral certification

00:18:26.220 on January 6th.

00:18:27.840 So the Democrats want,

00:18:29.460 want Cruz and Hawley

00:18:30.740 to be booted out of the Senate

00:18:32.080 or at least censured

00:18:33.460 for raising objections

00:18:35.020 to the electoral vote

00:18:35.920 because of the irregularities,

00:18:38.120 let's call them,

00:18:38.780 in the 2020 election.

00:18:40.100 Romney just came out

00:18:43.020 and said,

00:18:43.340 I don't do a very good Mitt Romney,

00:18:45.120 but he just came out

00:18:46.200 and said,

00:18:46.660 I think they raised,

00:18:47.600 they raised questions

00:18:48.640 which are legitimate

00:18:49.740 within the Senate.

00:18:50.840 Not something I supported,

00:18:52.680 but I think,

00:18:53.760 I think they're entitled

00:18:54.960 to raise those points.

00:18:56.880 It's a very bad

00:18:57.680 Mitt Romney impression.

00:18:58.580 It's sort,

00:18:58.760 if you want to do a Mitt Romney,

00:18:59.620 it's sort of like

00:18:59.980 you have to do a Reagan,

00:19:00.960 but then make it lamer.

00:19:02.580 And I don't know,

00:19:03.560 I haven't,

00:19:03.940 haven't succeeded at it

00:19:04.840 and probably never will.

00:19:05.840 The point he's making though

00:19:07.260 is very good

00:19:08.160 because I agree with that.

00:19:08.980 I can't believe I'm saying

00:19:09.760 I agree with Mitt Romney,

00:19:10.920 especially on an issue like this.

00:19:12.280 He's saying,

00:19:12.720 of course,

00:19:13.220 Cruz and Hawley

00:19:13.760 had the right

00:19:14.220 to raise those objections.

00:19:15.540 They are legitimate objections

00:19:16.880 and we're not going to kick

00:19:17.620 a senator out

00:19:18.340 for pursuing a legal process.

00:19:20.740 Excuse me, sir.

00:19:21.980 What has happened to Mitt Romney?

00:19:23.560 What have you done?

00:19:24.480 Who are you, imposter? 1.00

00:19:25.980 And what have you done

00:19:26.760 with Senator Romney?

00:19:29.000 On the one hand,

00:19:29.940 great.

00:19:30.260 I'm glad that he's having this moment.

00:19:32.160 I'm glad he's being

00:19:32.920 more conservative.

00:19:33.760 I'm glad he's going to grill people.

00:19:35.180 It's probably not going to do very much,

00:19:36.260 but okay, wonderful.

00:19:37.020 On the other hand,

00:19:39.600 this is frustrating

00:19:40.880 because of course Mitt Romney is good now.

00:19:44.640 Of course he's saying the right things now

00:19:46.720 and doing the right things now

00:19:48.760 and behaving in the right way now

00:19:50.000 because he's about to be in the minority.

00:19:53.660 And Mitt Romney

00:19:54.480 and Republicans like Mitt Romney

00:19:56.280 were built in some factory

00:19:59.300 at establishment GOP headquarters

00:20:01.380 to be in the minority.

00:20:03.240 They're meant to lose with dignity.

00:20:06.560 They're meant to put up a big fight

00:20:08.300 and put up a big show

00:20:09.560 but not actually do anything.

00:20:11.300 You know when it would have mattered?

00:20:12.600 It would have mattered

00:20:13.160 under the Trump administration.

00:20:14.840 That's when it would have mattered

00:20:15.780 to put up a big fight.

00:20:17.160 And there are lots of people

00:20:18.020 up to and including the president

00:20:19.360 perhaps could have done more.

00:20:20.540 Best president of my lifetime,

00:20:21.680 but sure,

00:20:22.200 there were missed opportunities

00:20:23.220 and some unforced errors

00:20:25.380 and lots of problems.

00:20:27.540 Okay, fine.

00:20:28.780 Where were you?

00:20:29.660 Where were all of the real

00:20:31.060 tough sounding conservatives

00:20:32.860 when it mattered,

00:20:34.480 when it could have mattered?

00:20:36.540 You were all fighting

00:20:37.760 the Republican presidential administration.

00:20:40.740 And now that it's nice and safe

00:20:42.280 and you don't need to risk anything

00:20:43.620 and you know that nothing you say

00:20:45.100 is going to matter,

00:20:46.260 then you can mouth off

00:20:47.620 and say,

00:20:48.940 oh good,

00:20:49.340 I'm going to be a big tough guy now

00:20:50.600 and I'm going to support the conservatives

00:20:52.100 and I,

00:20:52.700 yeah,

00:20:52.840 I hate illegal immigration 0.99

00:20:54.040 and yeah,

00:20:54.440 I totally support Cruz and Hawley.

00:20:56.260 Okay, fine.

00:20:57.540 I mean,

00:20:57.720 I'll take that over nothing.

00:20:59.300 I take that over Romney

00:21:00.300 completely defecting to the Democrats,

00:21:02.260 but it's weak sauce guys.

00:21:06.320 When,

00:21:06.860 when Hillary got the nomination 1.00

00:21:09.680 and Trump got the nomination in 2016,

00:21:12.120 the conservative humorist,

00:21:14.540 P.J. O'Rourke,

00:21:15.300 who I've always really enjoyed

00:21:16.520 P.J. O'Rourke's writing,

00:21:18.120 he came out

00:21:18.740 and he,

00:21:19.060 he endorsed Hillary Clinton

00:21:20.720 and he said,

00:21:21.760 I endorse Hillary Clinton

00:21:23.060 and all of her evil works 1.00

00:21:25.480 and all of her empty promises.

00:21:26.520 He said,

00:21:28.280 she's really,

00:21:29.040 really bad, 0.97

00:21:29.780 but she's bad 0.99

00:21:30.700 within normal boundaries.

00:21:32.840 And it was a,

00:21:33.240 it was actually

00:21:33.940 a brilliant column

00:21:34.820 because it explained

00:21:36.200 what a lot of people thought.

00:21:37.160 They said,

00:21:37.320 oh,

00:21:37.380 I hate Hillary, 1.00

00:21:38.380 but Hillary's normal, 1.00

00:21:39.980 you know,

00:21:40.160 and Trump is not normal.

00:21:41.740 So,

00:21:42.440 I,

00:21:42.980 I prefer the devil I know

00:21:44.320 to the devil that I don't.

00:21:46.820 We're going back into normal

00:21:48.540 and Mitt Romney

00:21:49.900 mouthing off

00:21:50.540 when it doesn't matter,

00:21:51.280 that's normal

00:21:51.880 and pretending to care

00:21:53.920 about illegal immigration

00:21:54.860 for a lot of Republicans

00:21:55.960 when they don't really care

00:21:57.140 and they're actually

00:21:57.620 secretly sort of supportive of it.

00:21:59.560 That's normal

00:22:00.340 and not caring about abortion,

00:22:02.640 but like raising a big ruckus

00:22:03.820 about abortion,

00:22:04.420 but then not being able

00:22:05.100 to do anything about it.

00:22:06.120 That's normal

00:22:06.920 and the radicalism

00:22:08.920 that we're about to see

00:22:09.620 at the border

00:22:10.180 and in education

00:22:11.220 and in health policy,

00:22:12.480 you know,

00:22:12.780 all of that is actually normal

00:22:14.580 within the boundaries

00:22:17.360 of our politics.

00:22:18.480 The problem is

00:22:18.940 our politics

00:22:19.800 has gotten so completely insane

00:22:21.380 that in 2016,

00:22:24.440 people voted for this guy

00:22:25.240 named Donald Trump

00:22:25.920 who was a complete outsider

00:22:29.080 to the elective office

00:22:30.940 and national political scene,

00:22:32.400 but he talked like a normal person

00:22:34.920 and his views

00:22:35.620 were ordinary views.

00:22:37.640 Totally common sense.

00:22:39.480 Yeah,

00:22:39.720 secure the border.

00:22:41.840 Yeah,

00:22:42.400 defend America.

00:22:43.720 Put America

00:22:44.240 before other countries

00:22:45.220 when you're crafting

00:22:45.880 a national policy.

00:22:47.020 Yeah,

00:22:47.160 make sure American workers

00:22:48.320 get a decent,

00:22:49.420 get a decent wage.

00:22:51.380 Over slave labor

00:22:52.520 in China.

00:22:54.920 Right?

00:22:55.200 That,

00:22:55.580 that,

00:22:56.180 that Donald Trump

00:22:57.720 would appeal

00:22:58.200 to ordinary people,

00:22:59.720 this like eccentric

00:23:00.600 New York billionaire,

00:23:01.680 shows you 0.92

00:23:02.440 how crazy

00:23:04.020 the political scene

00:23:04.800 has gotten.

00:23:05.440 But now we're back

00:23:06.440 to normal

00:23:07.340 and normal

00:23:08.600 is really,

00:23:09.720 really radical.

00:23:11.240 we've got radical nominees.

00:23:14.260 We,

00:23:14.360 we talked a little bit

00:23:15.540 last week

00:23:16.120 about this radical

00:23:17.000 floated nominee

00:23:18.620 for the Department

00:23:19.940 of Justice's

00:23:21.100 Civil Rights Division.

00:23:22.460 This is an enormous,

00:23:23.380 this,

00:23:23.940 after the Civil Rights Act,

00:23:25.140 these sort of

00:23:25.440 civil rights offices

00:23:26.220 took on enormous power

00:23:28.240 and influence.

00:23:29.620 The,

00:23:30.280 the DOJ

00:23:31.140 Civil Rights Division

00:23:32.920 has a lot of power

00:23:34.180 in this country

00:23:34.760 and the person

00:23:35.840 that Joe Biden

00:23:36.900 is reportedly

00:23:37.460 going to nominate

00:23:38.160 for it

00:23:38.600 has written

00:23:40.780 the craziest,

00:23:42.200 kookiest, 0.99

00:23:42.600 most radical, 0.54

00:23:44.180 racist sort of things,

00:23:46.100 some of which

00:23:46.840 have come back

00:23:47.520 from her days

00:23:48.080 at Harvard.

00:23:48.880 She had these theories

00:23:49.760 that melanin

00:23:51.200 is what gives people

00:23:52.080 mental,

00:23:52.900 physical,

00:23:53.400 and spiritual power

00:23:54.680 and it's why

00:23:55.380 black people 1.00

00:23:55.960 are mentally, 1.00

00:23:56.880 spiritually,

00:23:57.400 and physically superior 0.64

00:23:58.420 to white people 0.84

00:23:59.620 and white people

00:24:00.340 a part of the way

00:24:01.580 the brain functions

00:24:02.540 involves melanin

00:24:03.660 and that's why

00:24:04.180 white people 1.00

00:24:04.940 are dumb 1.00

00:24:06.000 or something 1.00

00:24:06.500 and black people 0.95

00:24:07.520 are really smart. 0.91

00:24:08.160 All this kind

00:24:08.600 of racialist nonsense 0.90

00:24:09.460 that you'd seen 0.97

00:24:10.100 out of the radical left

00:24:11.120 in the 70s

00:24:12.740 and 80s.

00:24:13.320 I'm thinking of

00:24:14.060 wacky professors

00:24:15.180 like Leonard Jeffries

00:24:16.320 who talks about

00:24:17.480 how black people 0.94

00:24:18.760 are the sun people

00:24:19.500 and white people

00:24:20.040 are the ice people. 0.97

00:24:20.900 I'm thinking of guys

00:24:21.560 today like Nick Cannon.

00:24:22.760 You remember the actor

00:24:23.360 Nick Cannon

00:24:23.860 got in trouble

00:24:24.680 because he said

00:24:25.120 melanin is what

00:24:26.320 gives people their power

00:24:27.520 and white people 1.00

00:24:28.700 are like savages. 1.00

00:24:29.740 Well,

00:24:30.680 the,

00:24:30.960 the Biden nominee

00:24:33.000 or reported nominee

00:24:34.560 for this very powerful

00:24:35.880 post at the DOJ,

00:24:36.940 it's civil rights,

00:24:37.580 held these theories

00:24:39.740 at one time

00:24:40.420 and may well hold

00:24:41.160 those theories today.

00:24:42.140 That's completely insane,

00:24:43.860 right?

00:24:44.140 But it's insane

00:24:44.960 within normal boundaries

00:24:46.020 because of how wacky

00:24:48.440 our boundaries have gotten

00:24:49.200 and it's not just

00:24:50.120 at the DOJ.

00:24:51.080 It's also

00:24:52.060 at the education department.

00:24:54.020 It's also

00:24:54.960 at health

00:24:56.240 and human services

00:24:56.980 which is the

00:24:57.880 perhaps wackiest

00:24:58.940 one of all.

00:24:59.960 Before we get to that,

00:25:01.100 last Thursday

00:25:01.780 was a very big day

00:25:03.440 for the Daily Wire.

00:25:04.240 We made our entrance

00:25:05.460 into entertainment content

00:25:06.960 with our first feature film

00:25:08.160 Run, Hide, Fight.

00:25:10.420 Run, Hide, Fight.

00:25:11.020 It was really terrific.

00:25:12.060 I got to screen the movie

00:25:13.020 when we were considering

00:25:13.860 acquiring it.

00:25:15.380 I thought,

00:25:15.820 wow, man,

00:25:16.300 this is pretty cool.

00:25:17.220 What a great way

00:25:17.880 to open up

00:25:18.600 our,

00:25:19.280 our entertainment portion

00:25:20.940 of the Daily Wire.

00:25:21.840 We'll have a new movie

00:25:22.560 right in the new year.

00:25:24.260 This was a movie

00:25:24.860 that,

00:25:25.160 that did well

00:25:25.880 at Venice Film Festival

00:25:26.980 but it wasn't

00:25:28.280 totally politically correct.

00:25:29.460 It's not a conservative

00:25:30.120 propaganda movie

00:25:30.940 by any means.

00:25:31.620 It just has

00:25:32.080 conservative values in it.

00:25:33.320 It was,

00:25:34.620 it broke a few

00:25:35.460 politically correct rules

00:25:37.160 and so it couldn't

00:25:38.420 get distribution.

00:25:39.180 We thought,

00:25:39.460 all right,

00:25:39.580 we'll distribute it.

00:25:40.360 If you missed it,

00:25:41.320 head on over to Daily Wire

00:25:42.400 where you can stream it

00:25:43.860 on demand

00:25:44.380 from our website,

00:25:45.220 mobile or streaming apps

00:25:46.000 on Apple TV and Roku.

00:25:47.280 If you were not a member yet,

00:25:48.540 what are you doing?

00:25:49.740 Use promo code RHF.

00:25:52.000 For those of you

00:25:52.940 who were a little slow

00:25:54.340 this morning

00:25:54.760 because maybe you haven't

00:25:55.340 slept in a few days

00:25:56.100 like me,

00:25:56.880 that is,

00:25:57.200 that stands for

00:25:57.580 Run, Hide, Fight.

00:25:58.740 You will get 25% off.

00:26:00.800 That is RHF

00:26:01.800 for 25% off.

00:26:04.060 Head on over to

00:26:04.540 dailywire.com.

00:26:05.240 We'll be right back

00:26:05.820 with a lot more.

00:26:18.880 So Joe Biden's

00:26:20.580 reported nominee

00:26:22.100 for this very important post

00:26:23.340 in the DOJ

00:26:23.960 holds a ton of

00:26:24.860 extremely racist, 0.99

00:26:26.540 ugly views. 0.98

00:26:27.260 similar views

00:26:29.700 being held apparently

00:26:30.620 by Joe Biden's

00:26:32.260 choice

00:26:33.620 for deputy

00:26:34.340 education secretary.

00:26:36.800 So Joe Biden

00:26:38.300 announced that

00:26:39.100 he wanted to pick

00:26:40.160 the San Diego

00:26:41.360 Unified School District

00:26:42.280 superintendent,

00:26:42.980 Cindy Martin,

00:26:44.380 for deputy

00:26:45.300 secretary of education.

00:26:48.640 Deputy secretary

00:26:49.660 of education.

00:26:50.420 What,

00:26:50.660 what does the

00:26:51.360 education department

00:26:51.960 even do?

00:26:52.680 I guess not all,

00:26:53.900 they don't,

00:26:54.460 they're not empowered

00:26:55.140 to do all that much

00:26:56.280 by the law

00:26:57.900 or,

00:26:58.720 you know,

00:26:58.900 this obviously

00:26:59.340 doesn't appear

00:26:59.820 anywhere in the

00:27:00.240 constitution.

00:27:01.360 But they do have

00:27:02.400 quite a lot of power

00:27:03.440 to craft the direction

00:27:04.860 of curriculum

00:27:05.340 in the United States.

00:27:06.080 One way they do this

00:27:06.980 is through things

00:27:07.680 like dear colleague

00:27:08.580 letters,

00:27:10.020 basically strong

00:27:12.920 recommendations

00:27:13.540 from the federal

00:27:14.900 government

00:27:15.320 that,

00:27:16.340 you know,

00:27:16.860 if you want to keep

00:27:17.360 getting your money,

00:27:18.060 if you want to keep

00:27:18.640 getting all these goodies

00:27:19.900 from the federal government,

00:27:20.800 you have to do

00:27:21.600 what we want you to do

00:27:22.640 on various sort of

00:27:23.920 social engineering

00:27:24.620 policies.

00:27:25.740 The famous

00:27:26.600 dear colleague letter

00:27:27.360 from the Obama

00:27:28.380 administration

00:27:28.820 had to do with

00:27:29.440 transgender ideology.

00:27:31.260 Well,

00:27:31.460 here,

00:27:31.840 this person

00:27:32.320 who Biden wants

00:27:33.040 for deputy

00:27:33.540 education secretary

00:27:34.520 holds very racist

00:27:37.080 views. 0.96

00:27:37.560 She's a white lady, 1.00

00:27:38.380 but she holds

00:27:38.920 these very sort of,

00:27:40.760 what do you call it?

00:27:42.980 I guess, 0.65

00:27:43.480 black racialist views,

00:27:45.020 the same kinds of things

00:27:45.980 that we have just

00:27:47.660 been talking about.

00:27:48.520 So she believes

00:27:49.520 that schools,

00:27:50.980 quote,

00:27:51.220 spirit murder, 0.98

00:27:53.620 black children, 0.99

00:27:55.240 and that white teachers 0.94

00:27:56.480 should,

00:27:56.880 should undergo,

00:27:58.120 quote,

00:27:58.260 anti-racist therapy,

00:28:00.680 anti-racist therapy.

00:28:02.840 So you've got now

00:28:04.240 the announced

00:28:05.820 Biden pick

00:28:07.320 for deputy

00:28:09.020 education secretary

00:28:09.960 calling for

00:28:11.500 the reprogramming 0.95

00:28:13.860 only of white teachers 0.57

00:28:16.360 who are not

00:28:18.160 anti-racist enough,

00:28:19.800 meaning they

00:28:20.620 they could be

00:28:21.580 not racist,

00:28:22.360 but that's not enough.

00:28:22.980 You've got to be

00:28:23.360 anti-racist,

00:28:24.220 meaning you've got

00:28:24.800 to be racist.

00:28:26.680 The teachers

00:28:27.640 are,

00:28:28.620 are not

00:28:29.300 focused enough

00:28:30.780 on how terrible

00:28:31.960 the scourge 0.96

00:28:32.680 of white supremacy

00:28:33.600 is and how schools

00:28:34.840 quote,

00:28:35.180 spirit murder 1.00

00:28:35.900 black children, 1.00

00:28:36.520 whatever that means. 0.98

00:28:37.380 And so they've got

00:28:38.560 to go to

00:28:39.020 re-education camps.

00:28:40.860 That's not even

00:28:41.680 just being reported.

00:28:42.680 That has been

00:28:43.360 announced.

00:28:45.680 Moving over

00:28:46.460 to the Department

00:28:47.440 of Health

00:28:48.040 and Human Services.

00:28:48.680 I've got to be

00:28:49.520 very,

00:28:50.040 very careful

00:28:50.580 with this one

00:28:51.040 because I think

00:28:52.180 we could all

00:28:52.580 be censored

00:28:53.060 for this

00:28:53.420 and there are

00:28:55.220 major calls

00:28:55.740 right now

00:28:56.060 for conservatives

00:28:56.540 to be censored.

00:28:57.120 So I'm just

00:28:57.420 going to present

00:28:57.900 the facts.

00:28:59.260 Okay,

00:28:59.580 and you tell me

00:29:00.260 if something

00:29:00.900 seems a little

00:29:01.420 strange.

00:29:02.920 Joe Biden

00:29:03.700 has selected

00:29:05.240 the Pennsylvania

00:29:06.480 Health Secretary,

00:29:07.580 Dr. Rachel Levine,

00:29:09.640 to be Assistant

00:29:11.380 Secretary of Health

00:29:12.580 and Human Services.

00:29:14.420 Dr. Rachel Levine,

00:29:16.300 that was not

00:29:17.340 his given

00:29:18.660 name when he

00:29:19.180 was born,

00:29:20.300 Dr. Rachel Levine

00:29:21.480 is a man

00:29:22.380 who thinks

00:29:23.260 that he's a woman.

00:29:27.180 He's being

00:29:27.880 nominated

00:29:28.320 to be the

00:29:28.820 Assistant Secretary

00:29:29.560 of Health

00:29:30.540 and Human Services.

00:29:34.020 A man

00:29:34.860 who is

00:29:37.340 under the impression

00:29:38.340 that he is a woman

00:29:39.000 in some deep

00:29:40.140 metaphysical way,

00:29:41.300 that his true

00:29:42.160 identity as a woman

00:29:43.020 even though

00:29:43.380 all of the

00:29:44.100 characteristics

00:29:44.580 that he has

00:29:45.100 are man,

00:29:46.820 manly,

00:29:47.420 masculine.

00:29:49.260 He is now

00:29:50.320 to be the

00:29:51.020 Assistant Secretary

00:29:52.240 of Health

00:29:53.560 and Human Services.

00:29:58.120 Does that seem

00:29:59.040 a little strange

00:29:59.780 to you?

00:30:00.420 That seems

00:30:01.240 a little strange

00:30:01.880 to me.

00:30:02.360 I don't,

00:30:03.580 I don't want

00:30:04.040 to step out

00:30:04.720 of line.

00:30:05.380 I don't want

00:30:05.980 to,

00:30:07.260 seems a little

00:30:07.920 strange,

00:30:08.300 doesn't it?

00:30:09.620 But it doesn't.

00:30:11.000 But it doesn't.

00:30:12.220 It only seems

00:30:13.180 strange

00:30:13.620 to people

00:30:14.440 with even

00:30:15.100 a modicum

00:30:15.800 of common

00:30:16.200 sense left

00:30:16.740 because

00:30:18.320 we are

00:30:20.020 back into

00:30:21.900 the normal

00:30:22.560 scope

00:30:23.200 of this

00:30:24.240 liberal

00:30:24.800 political

00:30:25.280 regime

00:30:25.780 and the

00:30:26.680 normal

00:30:27.300 kinds of

00:30:28.260 politics

00:30:28.720 that we

00:30:29.020 see here.

00:30:31.480 That's not

00:30:32.220 normal

00:30:32.660 compared to

00:30:33.480 objective

00:30:34.900 standards.

00:30:36.140 That's not

00:30:36.780 normal

00:30:37.160 compared to

00:30:38.160 historical

00:30:38.680 norms.

00:30:40.440 You know,

00:30:41.180 moving back

00:30:42.020 decades and

00:30:42.700 decades.

00:30:43.740 But it is

00:30:44.440 normal today.

00:30:46.320 And what is

00:30:47.140 also about to

00:30:47.740 be normal,

00:30:48.180 I mean,

00:30:48.400 I'm joking a

00:30:49.460 little bit as

00:30:49.820 I'm tiptoeing

00:30:50.680 around this

00:30:51.140 issue.

00:30:51.380 Gosh,

00:30:51.640 what's strange

00:30:52.300 about this?

00:30:52.860 That a man

00:30:53.240 in a dress

00:30:53.740 who believes

00:30:54.500 himself to

00:30:54.840 be a woman

00:30:55.140 is the

00:30:55.500 assistant

00:30:56.000 health

00:30:56.220 secretary.

00:30:57.220 I'm sort

00:30:57.880 of joking

00:30:58.460 as I tiptoe

00:30:59.040 around it,

00:30:59.580 but there's

00:30:59.840 a lot of

00:31:00.220 truth to it,

00:31:00.760 which is that

00:31:01.240 we are now

00:31:02.140 at a place

00:31:02.660 where if you

00:31:03.380 come out

00:31:03.840 and say a

00:31:04.340 man is not 0.89

00:31:04.940 a woman 0.57

00:31:05.320 and a woman

00:31:06.360 is not a man

00:31:07.000 and a man

00:31:07.380 can't magically

00:31:08.080 become a woman

00:31:08.760 by wishing it

00:31:09.420 so and putting

00:31:09.900 a dress on,

00:31:11.520 you will face

00:31:12.600 professional

00:31:13.120 consequences for

00:31:14.160 it.

00:31:14.500 You will face

00:31:15.020 social consequences

00:31:15.900 for it.

00:31:16.540 You can

00:31:17.220 currently be

00:31:18.140 kicked off

00:31:18.500 of social

00:31:18.860 media if

00:31:20.000 you do it

00:31:20.400 in a specific

00:31:20.920 way,

00:31:21.320 which I hope

00:31:21.840 my elaborate

00:31:22.480 choreography here

00:31:23.580 has allowed

00:31:24.340 me to walk

00:31:25.180 around.

00:31:27.000 But you

00:31:27.460 cannot say

00:31:28.480 that.

00:31:28.820 You feel

00:31:29.640 as though

00:31:30.100 you're the

00:31:30.680 last sane 0.76

00:31:31.400 person on

00:31:31.940 earth when

00:31:32.200 you scream

00:31:32.640 into the

00:31:32.900 wind and

00:31:33.220 say a man

00:31:34.060 is not a

00:31:34.500 woman and

00:31:34.820 a woman 0.57

00:31:35.060 is not a

00:31:35.500 man and

00:31:35.860 there's

00:31:36.060 actually such

00:31:36.720 a thing

00:31:36.940 as sexual

00:31:37.360 difference.

00:31:37.840 But

00:31:39.240 that's

00:31:41.460 over

00:31:41.760 because now

00:31:43.200 we're headed

00:31:43.680 back into

00:31:44.740 the Biden

00:31:45.080 administration,

00:31:45.840 which is

00:31:46.100 it's the

00:31:46.520 same thing

00:31:46.940 as the

00:31:47.160 Obama

00:31:47.420 administration,

00:31:48.320 which is

00:31:48.980 just kind

00:31:49.360 of the

00:31:49.560 same thing

00:31:50.100 as the

00:31:50.440 establishment

00:31:51.080 left.

00:31:53.060 By the way,

00:31:53.920 what you're

00:31:54.180 going to hear

00:31:54.600 specifically with

00:31:55.540 regard to

00:31:55.940 Rachel Levine's

00:31:56.700 appointment,

00:31:57.580 you're going

00:31:57.960 to hear

00:31:58.360 that,

00:31:59.200 oh no,

00:31:59.460 this has

00:31:59.700 nothing to

00:32:00.120 do with

00:32:01.120 him being

00:32:01.680 a

00:32:02.040 transgender

00:32:02.500 person.

00:32:03.800 This is

00:32:04.140 just because

00:32:04.620 he's so

00:32:05.100 qualified and

00:32:05.960 he's just

00:32:06.320 the best

00:32:06.660 pick for

00:32:06.940 the job.

00:32:07.260 I don't

00:32:09.220 think that

00:32:10.040 that is

00:32:10.320 very likely

00:32:10.740 to be

00:32:10.980 true.

00:32:11.240 Here's

00:32:11.400 why.

00:32:12.080 There is

00:32:12.420 a quote

00:32:14.240 from Robin

00:32:14.800 Gonzalez

00:32:15.200 of the

00:32:15.540 Victory

00:32:15.840 Institute,

00:32:17.200 which I

00:32:17.640 suppose is

00:32:18.140 an LGBTQ

00:32:19.100 sort of

00:32:20.000 lobby.

00:32:20.720 He says,

00:32:21.320 quote,

00:32:21.660 I think

00:32:22.840 there is

00:32:23.220 a value

00:32:23.780 in giving

00:32:24.200 visibility

00:32:24.800 to doctors

00:32:25.800 like Dr.

00:32:26.700 Levine who

00:32:27.180 are kind

00:32:27.560 of unique

00:32:27.900 in their

00:32:28.180 field,

00:32:28.800 not just

00:32:29.700 because of

00:32:30.240 their demographics

00:32:30.920 and who

00:32:31.600 they are,

00:32:32.100 but also

00:32:32.520 because of

00:32:32.920 their expertise.

00:32:33.500 We also

00:32:35.220 know that

00:32:35.720 when people

00:32:36.140 know LGBTQ

00:32:36.920 people,

00:32:37.640 it makes

00:32:37.980 them more

00:32:38.380 open to

00:32:38.840 supporting our

00:32:39.620 equality.

00:32:41.540 So he

00:32:42.240 made three

00:32:43.020 arguments here.

00:32:44.360 He gave

00:32:45.100 three reasons

00:32:45.840 as to why

00:32:46.400 Rachel Levine

00:32:47.080 should get

00:32:47.680 this job.

00:32:49.080 It's good

00:32:49.540 to give

00:32:49.900 visibility to

00:32:50.820 doctors like

00:32:51.640 Dr.

00:32:52.140 Levine.

00:32:52.740 Visibility.

00:32:53.340 What does

00:32:53.600 that mean?

00:32:54.280 It means

00:32:54.680 because he's

00:32:56.200 a man who

00:32:56.500 thinks he's

00:32:56.740 a woman.

00:32:58.620 Not just

00:32:59.320 because of

00:32:59.620 their demographics,

00:33:00.380 but also because

00:33:00.980 of their

00:33:01.340 expertise.

00:33:02.560 Okay,

00:33:02.860 so he's

00:33:03.060 saying it's

00:33:03.320 not just

00:33:03.660 because he's

00:33:04.520 transgender,

00:33:06.460 it's because 0.76

00:33:06.880 he is

00:33:08.200 really expert

00:33:09.240 at something.

00:33:10.540 What we

00:33:11.080 don't know.

00:33:11.500 He doesn't

00:33:11.820 specify how

00:33:13.680 that expertise

00:33:14.240 is completely

00:33:14.960 unique and

00:33:15.960 has nothing

00:33:16.700 to do with

00:33:17.100 the gender

00:33:17.640 thing,

00:33:18.640 but he's

00:33:19.140 so much

00:33:19.700 more expert

00:33:20.160 than anyone

00:33:20.720 else in the

00:33:21.040 field.

00:33:21.260 He doesn't

00:33:21.640 explain that.

00:33:22.560 And then the

00:33:22.880 third one is

00:33:23.520 it's good

00:33:24.700 when people

00:33:25.480 see LGBTQ

00:33:26.240 people.

00:33:26.860 And here you

00:33:27.280 see the

00:33:27.500 LGBTQ is when 0.99

00:33:28.380 you lump 0.78

00:33:28.760 in everybody.

00:33:29.820 So a man,

00:33:31.880 who comes

00:33:32.220 out and

00:33:32.460 says,

00:33:32.700 hey,

00:33:32.740 I'm a

00:33:32.960 guy,

00:33:33.340 I'm

00:33:33.660 attracted

00:33:34.120 to other

00:33:34.460 men.

00:33:34.920 That is

00:33:35.420 now supposed

00:33:35.980 to be

00:33:36.320 considered

00:33:36.780 part and

00:33:38.840 parcel of

00:33:39.220 the same

00:33:39.520 thing as

00:33:39.880 a man who

00:33:40.260 says,

00:33:40.500 I am a

00:33:40.960 woman.

00:33:42.260 Right?

00:33:42.640 They're

00:33:42.780 obviously

00:33:43.040 not the

00:33:43.480 same thing

00:33:43.800 and they

00:33:44.000 actually

00:33:44.320 contradict

00:33:44.940 one another.

00:33:45.720 But one

00:33:46.220 is a

00:33:46.740 statement

00:33:47.000 of sexual

00:33:47.680 desire,

00:33:48.700 which anybody

00:33:49.440 can understand

00:33:50.180 and say,

00:33:51.320 yeah,

00:33:51.520 people have

00:33:52.180 sexual

00:33:52.440 desires.

00:33:53.240 You're not

00:33:53.740 pretending

00:33:54.200 that biology

00:33:56.060 and reality

00:33:56.640 is different

00:33:57.060 than it is.

00:33:57.440 You're just

00:33:57.620 saying,

00:33:58.040 I'm a

00:33:58.240 man,

00:33:58.500 I have

00:33:58.660 this sort

00:34:01.880 the way

00:34:02.020 it is.

00:34:02.800 Completely

00:34:03.200 different

00:34:03.600 than a

00:34:04.420 man saying,

00:34:05.120 hi,

00:34:05.760 because you

00:34:07.380 might be

00:34:07.840 confused looking

00:34:08.740 at me and

00:34:09.240 all my

00:34:09.480 physical traits,

00:34:10.060 I want you

00:34:10.380 to know

00:34:10.640 objective

00:34:11.820 reality is

00:34:12.540 not true.

00:34:13.160 You

00:34:13.260 shouldn't

00:34:13.520 believe

00:34:13.760 your

00:34:13.880 lying 1.00

00:34:14.100 eyes.

00:34:14.480 I,

00:34:14.820 who am

00:34:15.000 a man,

00:34:15.360 actually

00:34:15.680 am

00:34:15.840 a woman.

00:34:16.960 Totally

00:34:17.320 different

00:34:17.620 things.

00:34:18.160 And of

00:34:18.400 course,

00:34:18.720 we've

00:34:19.040 talked about

00:34:19.380 this on

00:34:19.600 this show

00:34:19.860 before,

00:34:20.700 but if

00:34:21.360 you're going

00:34:22.400 to promote

00:34:24.360 LGBTQ

00:34:26.240 altogether,

00:34:27.700 you're going

00:34:28.080 to run

00:34:28.320 into a

00:34:28.620 problem,

00:34:28.980 which is

00:34:29.200 that the

00:34:30.260 kind of

00:34:30.580 modern

00:34:31.060 concept

00:34:32.260 of

00:34:32.420 homosexuality 0.87

00:34:33.180 is based

00:34:33.580 on this

00:34:33.880 idea that

00:34:34.300 there are

00:34:34.700 men and

00:34:35.540 there are

00:34:35.880 women. 0.81

00:34:36.600 And homosexuals 1.00

00:34:37.360 are men who 0.99

00:34:37.860 are attracted

00:34:38.280 to other

00:34:38.620 men and

00:34:39.120 women who 0.99

00:34:39.440 are attracted

00:34:39.780 to other

00:34:40.080 women. 0.81

00:34:40.920 And you're,

00:34:41.780 you know,

00:34:42.040 it goes along

00:34:42.880 with mottos

00:34:43.560 like,

00:34:43.920 we're born

00:34:44.180 this way,

00:34:44.820 you know,

00:34:45.140 and you

00:34:46.000 can't change

00:34:46.760 who you are

00:34:47.200 and sexual

00:34:47.540 orientation

00:34:47.920 is not

00:34:48.560 changeable.

00:34:49.380 Okay,

00:34:49.740 fine,

00:34:50.220 totally,

00:34:50.580 got it.

00:34:51.720 You cannot

00:34:52.280 then also

00:34:52.920 say that

00:34:53.380 there is

00:34:53.840 no such

00:34:54.240 thing as

00:34:54.600 sex and

00:34:55.260 that all

00:34:55.580 of these

00:34:55.820 things are

00:34:56.340 changeable.

00:34:57.300 And not

00:34:57.780 only is

00:34:58.120 sexual desire

00:34:58.700 changeable,

00:34:59.360 but my

00:35:00.500 sex itself

00:35:01.060 is changeable.

00:35:01.700 So I can

00:35:02.040 become a

00:35:02.380 man,

00:35:02.760 I can be

00:35:03.260 a man

00:35:03.500 and pretend

00:35:04.240 that I'm

00:35:04.560 a woman 0.57

00:35:04.860 and then

00:35:05.640 really become

00:35:06.440 a woman.

00:35:07.580 Can't have

00:35:08.180 all of those

00:35:08.760 things at

00:35:09.900 once.

00:35:11.320 But you

00:35:11.840 can these

00:35:12.420 days.

00:35:13.280 You can.

00:35:13.960 I actually,

00:35:14.580 I actually

00:35:15.280 explain how

00:35:16.340 this,

00:35:17.200 this ideology

00:35:19.580 has arisen

00:35:20.180 in my

00:35:21.400 upcoming book.

00:35:22.940 I've never

00:35:23.320 plugged a book

00:35:23.820 on this show

00:35:24.240 that had any

00:35:24.660 words in it,

00:35:25.580 but I can

00:35:26.100 do this now

00:35:26.620 because in

00:35:27.300 addition to

00:35:27.840 this kind

00:35:28.180 of crazy

00:35:28.660 48 hours

00:35:29.380 I've had

00:35:29.760 with my

00:35:31.140 wife going

00:35:31.520 into labor

00:35:31.920 and then

00:35:32.380 the kid

00:35:32.840 coming and

00:35:33.320 it was a

00:35:33.520 very long

00:35:33.980 labor and

00:35:34.600 so we

00:35:34.800 were at

00:35:34.940 the hospital

00:35:35.220 all the

00:35:35.440 time,

00:35:36.420 by an

00:35:36.880 act of

00:35:37.580 either

00:35:37.960 cosmic

00:35:38.540 poetry

00:35:39.020 or cosmic

00:35:39.900 sadism,

00:35:41.240 my baby

00:35:41.920 and my

00:35:42.440 book were

00:35:43.160 both due

00:35:43.880 on the

00:35:44.320 same day.

00:35:44.860 I had to

00:35:45.140 get this

00:35:45.380 manuscript

00:35:45.760 into the

00:35:46.180 publisher.

00:35:46.640 It's got

00:35:46.860 a lot of

00:35:47.120 words and

00:35:47.440 it turns

00:35:47.680 out it's

00:35:47.900 harder to

00:35:48.180 write books

00:35:48.480 with words.

00:35:49.180 But the

00:35:49.900 book is

00:35:50.320 available for

00:35:51.140 pre-order

00:35:51.500 now.

00:35:51.740 It's called

00:35:51.880 Speechless,

00:35:52.760 Controlling

00:35:53.120 Words,

00:35:53.620 Controlling

00:35:53.920 Minds.

00:35:54.880 And it's

00:35:55.580 a history

00:35:55.980 of political

00:35:56.420 correctness

00:35:56.920 which I

00:35:57.260 think has

00:35:57.540 been

00:35:57.720 completely

00:35:58.180 misunderstood

00:35:58.660 for decades

00:35:59.360 and it's

00:35:59.940 why we've

00:36:00.260 completely

00:36:00.560 lost and

00:36:01.440 it's why

00:36:01.780 now the

00:36:02.140 realm of

00:36:02.480 normal

00:36:03.000 politics is

00:36:04.160 so radically

00:36:05.460 left wing

00:36:06.080 because we

00:36:06.620 haven't fought

00:36:07.400 back against

00:36:07.920 that.

00:36:08.480 But what

00:36:08.760 political

00:36:09.180 correctness

00:36:09.720 does

00:36:10.300 fundamentally

00:36:11.320 is it

00:36:12.380 replaces

00:36:12.860 traditional

00:36:13.580 moral codes

00:36:14.540 with new

00:36:15.400 speech codes.

00:36:17.200 That's the

00:36:17.980 main shift

00:36:18.820 that happens

00:36:19.400 with political

00:36:20.000 correctness

00:36:20.600 and political

00:36:21.760 correctness

00:36:22.160 thereby attempts

00:36:23.140 to redefine

00:36:23.900 reality.

00:36:25.600 But it's

00:36:26.140 a purely

00:36:27.000 negative

00:36:27.740 mission.

00:36:29.760 And what I

00:36:30.060 mean by that

00:36:30.600 is the

00:36:33.000 radical left,

00:36:34.020 I don't think

00:36:34.400 the radical left

00:36:34.920 particularly cares 0.98

00:36:35.720 about homosexuals

00:36:36.540 and I don't

00:36:36.780 think they

00:36:37.020 particularly care

00:36:37.760 about people

00:36:38.140 who are

00:36:38.380 confused about

00:36:38.880 their sex. 0.75

00:36:39.460 I think they

00:36:39.900 are using

00:36:40.440 these groups

00:36:41.140 as a means

00:36:42.380 of destroying

00:36:43.120 the old

00:36:43.560 order.

00:36:44.040 So if you

00:36:44.320 can destroy

00:36:44.700 the old

00:36:44.980 order with

00:36:45.300 one argument

00:36:45.760 use that.

00:36:46.300 If you

00:36:46.400 can destroy

00:36:46.700 the old

00:36:46.960 order with

00:36:47.800 the opposite

00:36:48.640 argument

00:36:48.980 you'll use

00:36:49.440 that.

00:36:49.700 But either

00:36:50.040 way what

00:36:50.920 you're trying

00:36:51.580 to do is

00:36:52.300 destroy the

00:36:53.020 old set of

00:36:53.780 standards.

00:36:55.040 And this

00:36:55.680 is why

00:36:56.240 the tactics

00:36:58.920 have changed

00:36:59.480 over the

00:36:59.900 years.

00:37:00.800 A lot of

00:37:01.720 it comes

00:37:02.000 back to

00:37:02.480 a line

00:37:02.900 from Karl

00:37:03.280 Marx

00:37:03.600 actually

00:37:03.920 which is

00:37:04.380 that Marx

00:37:05.580 set out

00:37:06.000 to exert

00:37:07.660 the ruthless

00:37:08.880 criticism

00:37:09.560 of all that

00:37:10.380 exists.

00:37:11.460 From that

00:37:11.900 you get

00:37:12.140 familiar terms

00:37:12.700 like critical

00:37:13.100 theory

00:37:13.400 from these

00:37:14.400 kind of

00:37:14.660 western

00:37:15.040 Marxists

00:37:15.540 who later

00:37:15.920 on came

00:37:16.400 and applied

00:37:17.220 Marx more

00:37:18.320 to cultural

00:37:18.880 matters

00:37:19.240 and kind

00:37:19.940 of melded

00:37:20.340 them with

00:37:20.580 Freud

00:37:20.820 and anyway

00:37:21.620 you can

00:37:22.240 go read

00:37:22.460 the book

00:37:22.660 to understand

00:37:23.120 a little

00:37:24.300 tiny bit

00:37:24.840 of this

00:37:25.160 but it

00:37:26.840 is purely

00:37:28.520 negative

00:37:29.640 and it's

00:37:30.220 going to

00:37:30.860 accelerate

00:37:31.320 and you're

00:37:32.320 already

00:37:32.680 seeing it

00:37:33.640 accelerate

00:37:34.060 in real

00:37:34.960 time.

00:37:36.080 All of

00:37:36.740 these kind

00:37:37.020 of radical

00:37:37.400 picks from

00:37:37.840 the Biden

00:37:38.140 administration

00:37:38.640 and it has

00:37:39.620 cultural effects

00:37:40.220 too.

00:37:40.440 I just saw

00:37:40.780 this on

00:37:42.000 this question

00:37:42.840 of gender

00:37:43.220 ideology

00:37:43.660 one of the 0.97

00:37:44.120 silliest 0.91

00:37:44.460 headlines

00:37:44.780 I've seen

00:37:45.080 in a long

00:37:45.380 time

00:37:45.580 in the

00:37:46.580 New York

00:37:46.800 Post

00:37:47.020 23 year

00:37:48.600 old topples

00:37:49.560 king with

00:37:50.880 a gender

00:37:51.420 neutral card

00:37:52.480 deck

00:37:52.880 and it's

00:37:54.660 this gal 0.65

00:37:55.100 here you know

00:37:55.720 and she's

00:37:56.160 got this

00:37:56.580 new deck

00:37:57.000 of cards

00:37:57.280 and she

00:37:57.520 was very

00:37:57.960 upset

00:37:58.380 that in

00:37:59.800 a traditional

00:38:00.320 deck of

00:38:00.760 cards

00:38:01.100 when you're

00:38:03.300 most games

00:38:03.860 I guess

00:38:04.120 when you're

00:38:04.340 playing

00:38:04.640 the king

00:38:05.960 is more

00:38:06.860 valuable

00:38:07.260 than the

00:38:07.620 queen 0.69

00:38:07.840 we cannot

00:38:09.820 have this

00:38:10.380 this is

00:38:11.740 very terrible

00:38:12.380 right because

00:38:13.120 that's

00:38:14.200 patriarchal

00:38:14.760 or something

00:38:15.420 so this

00:38:16.680 girl she

00:38:17.080 got a

00:38:18.060 news article

00:38:19.060 out of

00:38:19.340 this

00:38:19.520 in a

00:38:20.500 major

00:38:20.760 publication

00:38:21.300 she just 0.65

00:38:23.060 made a

00:38:23.420 deck of

00:38:23.720 cards

00:38:24.120 and replaced

00:38:25.860 jack queen

00:38:26.500 king with

00:38:27.400 bronze

00:38:28.400 silver

00:38:28.940 gold

00:38:29.520 who's the

00:38:31.300 ace

00:38:31.520 I don't

00:38:31.780 know

00:38:32.120 that's

00:38:34.420 what she

00:38:34.680 did

00:38:34.980 topples

00:38:36.400 the king

00:38:36.860 now

00:38:38.800 faith

00:38:39.960 more

00:38:40.360 drew's

00:38:41.120 daughter

00:38:41.320 faith

00:38:41.680 made this

00:38:43.040 very good

00:38:43.620 point

00:38:44.000 the other

00:38:44.680 day when

00:38:44.960 this article

00:38:45.380 came out

00:38:45.760 which is

00:38:46.160 if you

00:38:47.400 topple the

00:38:47.980 king

00:38:48.400 don't you

00:38:49.440 topple the

00:38:50.040 queen 0.69

00:38:50.420 too

00:38:50.780 when this

00:38:53.180 gal made

00:38:53.780 her new

00:38:54.060 deck of

00:38:54.400 cards

00:38:54.800 seems like

00:38:55.440 such a

00:38:55.720 frivolous

00:38:56.040 story but

00:38:56.420 it actually

00:38:56.860 matters to

00:38:58.000 the culture

00:38:58.480 because we're

00:38:59.660 mimicking this

00:39:01.260 or rather she

00:39:01.880 is mimicking

00:39:02.320 the culture

00:39:02.800 and she is

00:39:04.040 mimicking the

00:39:04.500 political regime

00:39:05.180 we're doing

00:39:05.580 this on so

00:39:06.220 many issues

00:39:07.040 when you get

00:39:08.560 rid of

00:39:09.040 if you want

00:39:10.260 to topple the

00:39:10.760 king and you

00:39:11.700 think you're

00:39:12.060 going to do

00:39:12.400 that by

00:39:12.780 getting rid

00:39:13.280 of any

00:39:13.780 sort of

00:39:14.140 gendered

00:39:14.860 cards

00:39:15.260 you're also

00:39:16.580 toppling the

00:39:17.280 queen 0.69

00:39:17.500 there is no

00:39:18.260 queen in 0.94

00:39:19.440 this gal's 1.00

00:39:20.220 deck of

00:39:20.520 cards

00:39:20.860 modern gender

00:39:23.060 ideologues

00:39:23.680 you'll notice

00:39:24.020 it went very

00:39:24.520 quickly from

00:39:25.260 you just see

00:39:26.100 the acceleration

00:39:26.720 it went very

00:39:27.180 quickly from

00:39:27.760 boys can become

00:39:29.260 girls and girls

00:39:29.740 can become

00:39:30.100 boys to

00:39:30.800 something called

00:39:32.020 non-binary or

00:39:33.260 gender queer

00:39:34.240 or non-gendered

00:39:35.980 or whatever

00:39:36.320 they're like 50

00:39:36.920 different versions

00:39:37.660 of this

00:39:38.020 not people saying

00:39:40.320 I'm one sex

00:39:41.080 or the other

00:39:41.460 but saying

00:39:41.760 there is no

00:39:42.420 sex

00:39:42.880 there's no

00:39:43.360 such thing

00:39:43.760 as sex

00:39:44.120 I'm neither

00:39:44.660 and what that

00:39:45.860 does to use

00:39:46.860 popular term

00:39:48.320 from the left

00:39:48.980 is it erases

00:39:51.040 women 1.00

00:39:51.840 there are no

00:39:53.540 women 1.00

00:39:53.760 now you might

00:39:54.200 say well at

00:39:54.640 least the women 0.99

00:39:55.120 aren't ranked

00:39:56.500 lower in the deck

00:39:57.340 of cards than

00:39:57.940 the men

00:39:58.320 okay fine

00:39:59.280 but if that's a

00:40:01.060 victory it's a

00:40:01.680 pyrrhic victory

00:40:02.280 because there are

00:40:02.840 no women left 1.00

00:40:03.580 anymore

00:40:03.920 because the

00:40:06.420 minute that you

00:40:06.980 assert that there

00:40:07.700 are women that 0.99

00:40:08.320 there's such a

00:40:08.720 thing as men

00:40:09.060 and women

00:40:09.340 well if those

00:40:10.820 are distinct

00:40:11.340 categories that

00:40:12.120 means there are

00:40:12.620 differences

00:40:13.160 and there are

00:40:14.620 going to be some

00:40:15.040 things that men

00:40:15.620 are better at

00:40:16.300 and there are

00:40:16.680 going to be some

00:40:17.040 things that women 1.00

00:40:17.560 are better at

00:40:18.140 I've been in the

00:40:19.680 delivery ward of a

00:40:20.700 hospital for two

00:40:21.500 days I understand

00:40:22.780 there are some

00:40:23.300 things that women 1.00

00:40:23.840 are better at

00:40:24.420 I understand that

00:40:26.200 very well

00:40:26.880 there are going to

00:40:28.260 be some ways in

00:40:29.000 which men are

00:40:29.520 stronger

00:40:29.900 there are going to

00:40:30.500 be some ways in

00:40:31.060 which women are 1.00

00:40:31.700 stronger

00:40:32.100 there are going

00:40:33.340 it won't be

00:40:34.500 identical

00:40:35.180 this was. People would have laughed at you if you had made this point.

00:40:43.400 Any time from the beginning of civilization, even earlier than that, to about five or ten years ago,

00:40:50.420 people would have laughed at you if you made the statement, men and women are different,

00:40:55.040 as though it were some grand epiphany. Now, that is politically incorrect speech,

00:41:00.520 and they're probably going to censor people who try to say that sort of thing.

00:41:03.020 So, that's the new normal. We've been talking about the new normal with the masks and the

00:41:08.320 lockdowns. Well, that's part of it. But the new normal is much broader, much more radical than

00:41:13.980 any of that sort of thing. And all this on the day, we have to say farewell to the Trumps.

00:41:21.560 Melania Trump came out. She gave a farewell address first. It was very sad to see this. I love Melania

00:41:27.400 Trump. She is the most elegant first lady we've ever had. She makes everyone's heart go pitter 1.00

00:41:33.260 patter. My wife will send me videos of Melania speaking and just say, like, oh, Michael, oh,

00:41:37.900 my gosh. My heart's melting. You know, she just walks out. She's so composed, so beautiful.

00:41:44.000 She said something that I think it's worth thinking about as we enter the Biden administration,

00:41:51.500 not because it's any groundbreaking statement, not because it's even objectively true, but because

00:41:55.660 it describes the current political situation. Melania Trump says, be passionate in everything

00:42:01.240 you do. In the midst of hardship, we have seen the best of America shine true. Students have made

00:42:09.300 cards and delivered groceries to our senior citizens. Teachers have worked twice as hard to keep our

00:42:17.240 children learning. Families have come together to provide meals, supplies, comfort, and friendship

00:42:25.560 to those in need. Be passionate in everything you do, but always remember that violence is never the

00:42:34.540 answer and will never be justified. Okay. Objectively, what she's saying is not true.

00:42:42.400 Right. Even, she says, violence is never the answer. Well, violence was the answer in war,

00:42:49.780 wasn't it? When, when war is declared on us, certainly we would all say the answer to that

00:42:54.280 is violence, not just to roll over, right? Was violence the answer in World War II? That seems to

00:42:59.560 be the only historical reference point that anybody has. Everyone's always comparing everyone else to

00:43:03.280 the Nazis or whatever, but okay, let's use it. Was violence the answer in World War II? Probably it was, 0.98

00:43:08.940 right? You know, someone is, some madman is trying to conquer the whole world and violence is the

00:43:13.300 answer to that. It's never justified. No, it is justified. St. Thomas Aquinas and many, many other

00:43:18.940 thinkers have discussed when it is justified. I think what Melania is saying here is that

00:43:22.660 unjust violence is not justified. You know, sort of vigilantism or riots everywhere or looting or

00:43:31.100 whatever. Of course, that, that's not justified. That's not justified at all. And probably this is a

00:43:35.980 reference to the Capitol Hill riot. Sure. It should also be a reference to BLM. Fair enough. And then

00:43:40.620 she says, be passionate in everything you do. Well, there's some places where you, you know,

00:43:44.120 little detachment is fine too, but I, I don't mean to nitpick the first lady's speech because I think

00:43:49.960 there's actually some real wisdom in here. What we have had, if nothing else for the past four years

00:43:57.140 is passion. It's why an unusual coalition of voters came together and sent Trump to Washington in the

00:44:04.440 first place. It's why people have had so much fun over the last four years is we had passion. And it

00:44:11.000 seemed like for the first time in my life, we had passion from the, the White House. Obama in a way,

00:44:19.920 you know, had a little bit of passion, but Obama was speeding things up in a little bit of way,

00:44:24.840 but it was all still the same kind of liberal establishment. And maybe Clinton, Bill Clinton

00:44:32.040 advanced that a little more slowly and Bush a little more slowly and Obama a little more quickly,

00:44:36.580 but it was all the same thing. It was all the exact same thing. It's all the same kind of platitudes

00:44:40.960 and the same kind of dull bureaucratic technocratic language. And then Trump comes in like a wrecking

00:44:45.540 ball. And that really fired a lot of us up. And we thought that was, oh, there's actually some hope

00:44:51.000 that we can avoid this kind of bizarre, insane, ugly, anti-American technocratic malaise. 0.66

00:44:57.720 And we got that with Trump. And now Trump's leaving. It's very sad. Trump giving his farewell

00:45:03.680 address, wishing Joe Biden well.

00:45:07.200 My fellow Americans, four years ago, we launched a great national effort to rebuild our country,

00:45:14.600 to renew its spirit, and to restore the allegiance of this government to its citizens.

00:45:20.280 In short, we embarked on a mission to make America great again for all Americans. As I conclude my

00:45:29.680 term as the 45th president of the United States, I stand before you truly proud of what we have

00:45:36.420 achieved together. We did what we came here to do, and so much more. This week, we inaugurate a

00:45:47.020 new administration and pray for its success in keeping America safe and prosperous. We extend

00:45:55.280 our best wishes, and we also want them to have luck, a very important word.

00:46:02.160 So he's going out on a sort of nice, gracious note. Okay, Biden's coming in. We've accomplished

00:46:07.860 all we wanted to and much, much more. There's some things, obviously, the Trump administration

00:46:11.100 didn't accomplish. But I will say, without a doubt, he's the favorite president of my lifetime.

00:46:18.000 And he talked about the same sort of thing we've been talking about all day, that this doesn't

00:46:23.280 neatly cut across into our politics. The Trump administration was unique in our normal political

00:46:31.280 regime. He says it's not about left or right. It's about doing good for the American people.

00:46:35.360 Together with millions of hardworking patriots across this land, we built the greatest political

00:46:41.820 movement in the history of our country. We also built the greatest economy in the history of the

00:46:48.060 world. It was about America first, because we all wanted to make America great again. We restored the

00:46:55.520 principle that a nation exists to serve its citizens. Our agenda was not about right or left. It wasn't about

00:47:03.800 Republican or Democrat, but about the good of a nation. And that means the whole nation.

00:47:11.080 With the support and prayers of the American people, we achieved more than anyone thought

00:47:16.380 possible. Nobody thought we could even come close. You know, I usually don't like this rhetoric of

00:47:22.360 it's not about left. It's not about right. It's not red America, blue America, right? Obama said similar

00:47:26.960 things. But the reason I don't love that, even the country over party or whatever these other

00:47:32.040 slogans is because you join a political party to help your country. The idea is this party is going

00:47:36.300 to help the country more. So I'm going to join that and support it. So I think it's a little

00:47:39.260 bit of a false dichotomy. And the Trump administration has been generally very right

00:47:42.680 wing with some exceptions, but it is worth pointing out. He was a little different. He wasn't the usual

00:47:47.660 Republican. He cracked that status quo for a little bit. And part of cracking it was he won. He got a lot

00:47:55.960 of things accomplished, at least the first time. And we had a pretty strange 2020, pretty strange

00:48:00.540 November of 2020. And that's, that's the end of the term. Farewell to the best president of my

00:48:07.280 lifetime. I hope President Trump stays around as a voice in politics. Very sorry to see Joe Biden

00:48:14.400 inaugurated today, but hey, thank, thanks for the memories. And we've got a lot, a lot to look forward

00:48:21.180 to. I got a new kid. We got things to be happy about. I will look forward to seeing you all

00:48:25.440 tomorrow. In the meantime, I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show. See you then.
