00:00:37.860 Prominent left-wingers have now gone from not letting conservatives speak to forcing conservatives

00:00:44.140 to say what they want us to say. Nicole Wallace on MSNBC laid out the plan.

00:00:50.140 It would be my policy that a Republican must assert the truth before they're allowed to share any other

00:00:59.780 views. And Lindsey Graham, I understand, appeared somewhere today and refused to

00:01:03.820 really go far enough in beating down the lie. I want to read you something Tom Friedman wrote,

00:01:10.820 though, about social media companies. He writes this,

00:01:13.740 Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg have to surprise us by once and for all stopping the

00:01:19.100 elevation for profit of news that divides and enrages over more authoritative, even-handed

00:01:25.840 news sources. Why? That does not seem out of reach. If we can protect against counterfeit

00:01:32.660 dollar bills, we should be able to protect against fake news that we now know has the potential to

00:01:38.400 kill people as it did two weeks ago. Fake news has the potential to kill people. Conservative,

00:01:45.260 right-wing fake news. Never mind the fake news concerning, I don't know, for instance,

00:01:49.760 the alleged slaughter of innocent black men by racist cops. You remember that fake news?

00:01:54.300 It's a complete lie. It's not backed up by any sort of reality. And that sort of fake news would

00:01:59.900 have appeared to lead to the BLM riots that we saw all summer. Killed a lot of people. A lot more

00:02:04.360 people than were killed at the Capitol Hill riot. Is that fake news going to go away? No, I don't

00:02:09.100 think so. I think what is happening here is that prominent leftists want to not only censor

00:02:14.920 conservatives, including conservative senators like Lindsey Graham, but they want to force them

00:02:19.980 to repeat their talking points. We went from censorship to the coercion of speech. We're not

00:02:26.820 even five days into the Biden administration. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show.

00:02:34.360 Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment from Friday is from Randall Jacobs, who says,

00:02:44.860 Fauci doesn't like contradicting the president, but apparently he doesn't have any problem

00:02:49.900 contradicting himself. This is true. Maybe if he were a little, uh, we're a little more concerned

00:02:56.080 about, uh, not contradicting the president, uh, then, uh, he, he'd, uh, find himself in a better

00:03:02.240 position because, uh, all of those ignorant rube conservatives that, that Fauci and the rest of the 0.64

00:03:09.080 technocratic establishment seems to look down on. They seem to have been much more correct over the

00:03:14.940 last 10 or 12 months than Fauci and the rest of those doctor dictator experts. I'm trying to remember

00:03:22.480 back to those halcyon days 10 or 11 months ago. If I really want to remember back, I'm going to have

00:03:27.960 to check out Legacy Box. Legacy Box is an effortless way to digitally preserve your home movies and

00:04:00.480 Legacy Box makes reconnecting with your past as easy as pressing play. I love them. I was in this

00:04:06.480 bad situation, unfortunately, where a dearly beloved family member who had died, I had all the photos of

00:04:12.780 her in one place and I lost them. Seriously. Luckily, I did get some more photos then finally from a

00:04:17.760 relative, sent them to Legacy Box. Now they are preserved in perpetuity. Go to legacybox.com slash

00:04:48.040 Who would have thought? The censorship regime, it's been bubbling up for a while. I actually just

00:04:55.200 finished writing a book on this topic, which is called Speechless, and it'll be out, I think,

00:05:00.040 in June. You can pre-order it now. It's about how this process of the left censoring conservatives

00:05:06.400 evolved over about 100 years. But we've only seen it really in the last, I suppose, four to six months

00:05:14.140 where big tech companies are actively not letting you share certain articles, even in private messages

00:05:19.060 if those articles are, are disadvantageous to the left, where you are not permitted to state certain

00:05:25.840 basic truths on the internet, or you will be shut down, deplatformed, censored. The president of the

00:05:31.440 United States was deplatformed by hipster Rasputin and his other buddies in Silicon Valley. So that,

00:05:36.760 that really has ramped up. But no sooner had that censorship ramped up, then the left went further.

00:05:42.500 You are now hearing an open call, not just to censor. In fact, it would be better if they

00:05:47.760 just censored us. They now want us, like little Charlie McCarthy dolls, like little marionettes

00:05:53.720 or something, to just parrot and puppet what they have to say. Before we're even permitted to speak

00:06:00.800 in the public square, we have to assert their talking points. That's what Nicole Wallace has to 1.00

00:06:06.720 say. And it's not just some radical mouthing off on MSNBC. You heard similar kind of language,

00:06:12.140 from George Stephanopoulos on ABC News, speaking with Senator Rand Paul.

00:06:17.900 Senator Paul, let me begin with a threshold question for you. This election was not stolen.

00:06:23.000 Do you accept that fact?

00:06:24.760 Well, what I would say is that the debate over whether or not there was fraud should occur.

00:06:29.000 We never had any presentation in court where we actually looked at the evidence. Most of the cases

00:06:32.900 were thrown out for lack of standing, which is a procedural way of not actually hearing the question.

00:06:37.740 There were several states in which the law was changed by the secretary of state and not the

00:06:43.460 state legislature. To me, those are clearly unconstitutional. And I think there's still

00:06:47.620 a chance that those actually do finally work their way up to the Supreme Court. Courts traditionally and

00:06:52.540 historically don't like to hear election questions. But yes, were there people who voted twice? Were there

00:06:57.160 dead people who voted? Were there illegal aliens who voted? Yes. And we should get to the bottom of it. 0.91

00:07:01.040 I'll give you an example. In my state, when we had a Democrat secretary of state,

00:07:05.560 she refused even under federal order to purge the roles of illegal voters. We got a Republican 0.99

00:07:10.320 secretary of state and he purged the roles. It does make a difference. And those things do have to

00:07:14.960 stop you there. No, no, Senator, Senator, I have to stop you because you're making too much sense

00:07:19.540 and citing too many facts. So I have to stop you. You need to say right now, you need to say the

00:07:24.700 election wasn't stolen. Say it. You need to say it before we can talk anymore. You need to say it.

00:07:29.360 Well, George, I'm, I'm just reciting. I don't know. I'm doing like a Jimmy Stewart. My Rand Paul's

00:07:35.280 not very good. Rand Paul going out there, he is citing not only examples of irregularities,

00:07:43.200 right? The secretary of state not purging the roles of ineligible voters, even under federal

00:07:48.080 order, won't do it. The election officials in other states illegally changing election laws,

00:07:54.840 obviously unconstitutional. He's citing and then saying, by the way, we haven't heard out

00:08:00.640 a lot of these claims of fraud because they were not heard by the courts because courts don't want

00:08:04.800 to interfere in the elections. Stephanopoulos doesn't want to hear that. He, he cuts off Rand Paul

00:08:10.240 because he doesn't want to engage in any of these questions. He simply wants him to parrot this

00:08:16.700 democratic line. The election wasn't stolen. No election is perfect, but there, there were 86

00:08:23.160 challenges filed by president Trump and his allies in court. All were dismissed. Every state certified

00:08:29.440 the results after this is not enough or enough count. Yeah, but after investigations and recounts,

00:08:35.540 the department of justice led by William Barr said there's no widespread evidence of fraud.

00:08:40.460 Can't you just say the words, this election was not stolen? What I would suggest is what I would

00:08:46.260 suggest is that if we want greater confidence in our elections and 75% of Republicans agree with me

00:08:51.940 is that we do need to look at election integrity and we do need to see if we can restore confidence

00:08:58.660 in the elections. Can't you just say it, Rand Paul? Notice he's just, he's talking over him,

00:09:05.000 right? Because he's using this line and we hear this line a lot from Democrats. They say,

00:09:08.240 Trump filed 7 million lawsuits and they all got thrown out. And Rand Paul says, yes,

00:09:12.800 they did get thrown out. They were thrown out generally for lack of standing, which fair enough,

00:09:19.180 but that's just a procedural measure. It's not like they were thrown out because the evidence was

00:09:23.080 always so weak. In many cases, the evidence wasn't even heard because it was determined that the Trump

00:09:29.180 team didn't have standing to even bring the lawsuit, which is an important point when you're,

00:09:33.460 when you're going to repeat that talking point. However, George Stephanopoulos doesn't care. He cuts

00:09:37.540 him off. He just keeps talking right over him. He says, say this line, the election was stolen.

00:09:42.820 We were discussing this on, finally, we had a new episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz over the weekend.

00:09:48.240 And we'd gone about a month just with Christmas and the baby and everything. It got kind of busy,

00:09:52.500 but we had a lot to go back over. And we discussed this distinction here between

00:09:56.340 a stolen election and a rigged election. It's one we've talked about at the Daily Wire a lot.

00:10:01.540 Was the election stolen? Well, like Rand Paul says, like even George Stephanopoulos says,

00:10:06.620 I, I haven't seen the evidence of that. That evidence hasn't been presented when it was presented

00:10:10.180 in court or when it was attempted to be presented in court. It didn't, didn't have standing.

00:10:14.060 However, I think it is perfectly safe to say, you're going to say, okay, I don't have evidence

00:10:18.160 of the stolen election. It's perfectly safe to say it was a rigged election. Perfectly safe to say,

00:10:23.660 as Rand Paul does, people voted who shouldn't have voted. We know that. How widespread was it? I don't

00:10:29.920 know. We should find out. We know that election officials changed the rules right before the

00:10:34.040 election. He got rid of many election integrity measures, notably same day voting, you know,

00:10:41.780 election day voting, not election season voting. No, of course, voter ID, the Democrats have been

00:10:46.400 trying to undermine that for years. The ubiquity of the widespread mail-ins, unprecedented,

00:10:52.480 unsolicited widespread mail-ins. We've never seen that sort of thing. It, it violates state

00:10:56.980 constitutions in certain places. So yeah, it certainly was rigged. It certainly undermined

00:11:01.980 election integrity. Barack Obama was voicing concerns about these sorts of things years ago

00:11:06.800 as a threat to election integrity. New York Times was, was acknowledging these as threats to election

00:11:12.640 integrity years ago. But now because a Republican says it, no, you got to shut down that speech and

00:11:18.060 you need to begin with the left's premise, nothing wrong here, no irregularities. I'm glad Rand Paul is

00:11:25.940 pushing back. I would much rather be shut up than forced to say something that I don't believe.

00:11:31.020 Okay. And, uh, I, I mentioned, this was a few weeks ago now, I said, things are about to start

00:11:36.380 happening very quickly. We, the left has unified government right now, and they are going to start

00:11:42.520 pushing things very, very quickly. And when the left has unified government, by the way, it's not

00:11:45.820 just that they have the house, the Senate and the presidency. They also have the entire establishment.

00:11:51.400 Right? So they also have technology. They also have education. They also have the media. They also

00:11:55.520 have all of these aspects of our society. And so things are going to ramp up. Things are going to

00:12:01.840 accelerate. I mean, you see this in an unprecedented action that's going on right now, the impeachment

00:12:08.060 of an ex-president, the impeachment trial of a president who's no longer the president. And Rand Paul,

00:12:13.720 I got to give him credit. This guy is on fire lately. He has an op-ed in the Hill, uh, says boycott

00:12:21.120 the sham impeachment. And this, this obviously is a sham impeachment. Uh, Paul calls, uh, the

00:12:28.000 impeachment of farce. He calls it a sham. He says, quote, the constitution says two things about

00:12:33.000 impeachment. It is a tool to remove the office holder and it must be presided over by the chief

00:12:37.960 justice of the Supreme court. Now this is important because when the president is being impeached,

00:12:42.520 the chief justice leaves the Supreme court, he goes over and he presides over this trial.

00:12:47.480 But Trump is not the president. Therefore, John Roberts should not preside over the trial.

00:12:52.320 Therefore, it's not an impeachment. This is the, it's a subtle argument, but it's an important

00:12:56.060 argument that Rand Paul's alluding to. He says, if justice Roberts is not presiding over this,

00:13:00.400 then it is not impeachment. This charade is nothing more than bitter partisanship and political

00:13:04.600 theater. We're going to hear a lot of questions about this. We actually talked about this on

00:13:07.980 verdict a little bit too with, with Senator Cruz. The question is, is not even going to be,

00:13:13.340 should Trump be impeached or should he not be impeached? The question is going to be,

00:13:15.780 is this an impeachment? The Democrats have been clear. The reason they want to impeach him

00:13:19.580 and convict him is not to remove him from office. He's already gone. It's to prevent him from running

00:13:24.440 for office again. Because even though the Democrats say that Trump is so unpopular and everyone hates

00:13:28.920 him, they're clearly terrified. He's going to run for office again. Why? Because he's unpopular?

00:13:32.600 No, I think because they know he's very popular. And the question is going to be, is this an

00:13:37.720 impeachment? If John Roberts is not presiding over this trial, it's not an impeachment. Now they

00:13:42.620 might try to vote to bar him from running for public office again anyway, but that would very

00:13:47.060 clearly violate, I don't know, the 14th amendment, many, many other legal protections. You can't just

00:13:52.300 vote and say that dude isn't allowed to run for office. That's, that's as discriminatory as it

00:13:58.640 could possibly be. So that, I think you're not going to just see the argument over whether,

00:14:03.940 over Trump and his actions here. You're going to see this meta argument. What is the impeachment?

00:14:08.740 Rand Paul making a very, very strong argument that the whole thing is BS. Now, you know what else I

00:14:14.880 find to be BS? When you go to an auto parts store and they charge you too much for a part that they

00:14:19.500 don't even have in stock. Usually what they'll do, they'll go on the internet. They'll probably go to

00:14:22.680 rockauto.com. They'll order the part and then they'll charge you twice as much. Do not deal with that.

00:14:27.760 Go straight to rockauto.com. Great company. Rockauto.com is a family business serving auto

00:14:33.040 parts customers online for 20 years, which by my calculations is basically the entire history of

00:14:38.480 online. Go to rockauto.com to shop for auto and body parts from hundreds of manufacturers. Best of

00:14:43.680 all, prices at rockauto.com are always reliably low and the same for professionals and do-it-yourselfers.

00:14:49.780 Do not pay twice as much for the same parts. The catalog is unique. It is remarkably easy to navigate.

00:14:56.240 So easy that even I can do it. And what do I know about cars? I don't know anything,

00:15:00.480 but they make it so that even I can manage it. Reliably low prices, all the parts that your car

00:15:06.400 will ever need. You got to head on over to rockauto.com. You don't want to be in a position,

00:15:12.700 this happens a lot where you go into the auto parts store and they say, hey, do you want the

00:15:16.080 doohickey or the gizmo for your, your Honda CV or XV or something? I don't know. I don't know any of

00:15:22.040 that. I got much better. Do it from your computer. Do it from your phone. Go to rockauto.com right

00:15:26.200 now. See all the parts available for your car or truck, write Knowles in there. How did you hear

00:15:29.920 about us box so that they will know that we sent you. Very simple way. Even I can do it. I can get

00:15:35.200 auto parts on rockauto. Head on over there. Let them know that we sent you. Not just Rand Paul is

00:15:41.560 standing up against this sham impeachment, even Marco Rubio. This is a second guy that Trump vanquished

00:15:48.260 in the 2016 primaries, right? No love lost between any of these guys, but Rubio came out too. He said

00:15:55.220 the impeachment is ridiculous. It's very stupid and we should move on from it right now.

00:16:02.860 First of all, I think the trial is stupid. I think it's counterproductive. We already have a flaming

00:16:07.380 fire in this country and it's like taking a bunch of gasoline and pouring it on top of the fire.

00:16:12.480 Second, and I look back at the time, for example, Richard Nixon, who had clearly committed crimes and

00:16:17.580 wrongdoing. And in hindsight, I think we would all agree that President's pardon was important for

00:16:23.060 the country to be able to move forward. And history held Richard Nixon quite accountable for what he

00:16:27.640 did as a result. In terms of the rules, I think the president is entitled to due process. I think

00:16:31.840 he's entitled to have a defense. I think he's entitled to present testimony and evidence if

00:16:37.040 necessary. And the House doesn't have much of a record of witnesses and so forth because they

00:16:41.280 frankly rammed it through very quickly. So I think obviously fairness is important no matter who it is

00:16:46.620 we're talking about, but I just want to repeat, I think this is going to be really bad for the

00:16:49.600 country. It's going to take us, not just is it going to keep us from focusing on really important

00:16:53.520 things, but it's also just going to stir it up even more and make it even harder to get things

00:16:58.080 done moving forward. A good argument from Rubio. I agree with basically everything he said.

00:17:04.380 The reason it matters that he's coming out so strongly against impeachment is because Rubio is not the

00:17:10.440 most right-wing senator, right? He's a little squishy on certain issues, especially immigration.

00:17:14.600 So the fact that we have a more moderate Republican senator coming out and saying,

00:17:21.260 this is BS, I'm not going to vote to impeach. The fact that we also have this very libertarian

00:17:26.800 senator, Rand Paul, saying this is BS, I'm not going to impeach. We already have most of the

00:17:31.940 conservative, traditional conservative senators are not going to vote to convict him rather.

00:17:37.760 It looks like Trump is in pretty good shape. Probably Schumer and the Democrats do not have the votes

00:17:43.640 to convict, even if it were possible to convict an ex-president, which is the new precedent that

00:17:53.280 they're trying to set. So why is that? I think these arguments are on the level. I think it's

00:18:00.540 legitimate. I don't think that anything that Rand Paul or Rubio have said is untrue. However,

00:18:08.020 there is some politics at play here. There's always some politics at play. First of all,

00:18:14.120 the Democrats have no argument for impeachment. I mean, you'll, you'll remember this is the second

00:18:18.740 time they've impeached Trump. This is the third time they've tried to impeach Trump. And the

00:18:24.140 arguments seem to have gotten worse and worse over time. Now, the best argument that they've got for

00:18:28.520 the impeachment, I think is Rashida Tlaib's argument, which is no argument at all. It's just a

00:18:33.180 kind of vague grievance and then playing the race card. I hope that there's an awakening in the

00:18:39.160 Senate. But I've been waiting for that awakening to happen for quite a while for Leader McConnell

00:18:44.940 and many others to finally say enough is enough and impeach and convict the forever impeached twice

00:18:53.120 President Donald Trump. What he did was pretty unprecedented. And Amy, I have to be honest,

00:18:58.780 if it was somebody that looked like me, if it was President Barack Obama, there would be no question

00:19:05.480 that he would be held accountable. He would be convicted. He'd be removed from office. He would

00:19:10.840 never, ever be able to run again. He wouldn't ever be able to get public benefits. He has truly

00:19:17.780 sent us to a dangerous path that I don't think is going to go away very easily, even after he leaves

00:19:24.740 office. You see, if, if Donald Trump were brown skin, if he were black, like Obama, he would be 0.74

00:19:35.000 impeached. But because of his white privilege or his orange privilege or whatever kind of privilege he

00:19:40.000 has, he's not going to be impeached. And as evidence for this, I'll point out that Obama was never

00:19:49.080 impeached, but Trump was twice. Huh? What? Come again? Let's, let's see. Uh, of recent presidents,

00:19:59.460 we got Trump, we got Obama, we got Bush, we got Clinton. Half of those guys were impeached and the

00:20:08.660 only ones who were impeached and one of them was impeached twice. The only guys who were impeached were

00:20:15.720 white guys. Now, at least one other of those presidents committed crimes, Barack Obama. Barack

00:20:21.680 Obama abused his power to spy on his rival, Donald Trump, the guy who got impeached twice. Barack Obama

00:20:27.360 abused his IRS to punish his political opponents. Barack Obama did a lot of nefarious things and he

00:20:35.740 never got impeached. So this racial argument that Rashida Tlaib is making would seem to me not only wrong,

00:20:44.160 but backwards. But of course, this is the, this is the joke of intersectional politics. This is the

00:20:51.660 joke of, of woke politics. Use whatever word you want. Is that what is said to be a disadvantage is

00:20:58.020 actually an advantage. You, I mean, this is what affirmative action is based on, right? Affirmative 0.59

00:21:02.760 action is based on this idea that if you are black or Hispanic, among, among other categories, if you're

00:21:07.980 black or Hispanic, you are at a disadvantage. Therefore, you should get an advantage in college admissions. 1.00

00:21:13.340 So in practice, what that means is if you're white or Asian, you are at a disadvantage. There is

00:21:18.940 structural, systemic, legal racism that is harming your chances to get into these colleges. This is

00:21:26.820 why a group of Asian students sued Harvard University. And I believe is suing Yale, or at least there's a

00:21:31.600 DOJ civil rights inquiry into Yale because Yale does the same practice. They limit the number of Asians who

00:21:36.520 can get in. Why? Because of the immense privilege of coming from a family of Vietnamese immigrants

00:21:41.720 who work really hard in some not so nice neighborhood in New York. That's the great

00:21:48.320 privilege. That's why you, you should be discriminated against when you're applying to

00:21:51.160 university. I guess, I guess that's the argument. Doesn't work quite the way that these guys say.

00:21:56.980 Rashida Tlaib, not the brightest bulb in the pack. And so the nearest thing to an argument she can, 1.00

00:22:02.200 she can summon is the race card. And it's, it's the best they've got in the whole impeachment thing.

00:22:05.640 So it's probably not going to go anywhere. The reason though, I think that these senators,

00:22:10.180 these Republican senators are so eager to say, I'm supporting Trump here is in part because the

00:22:17.040 other side has no argument. And so there's, there's no even plausible way that you can try to support

00:22:23.540 this, this impeachment trial. You know, the, they, they say it's an insurrection and Trump incited

00:22:28.900 violence. So then all the video shows Trump saying, be peaceful, don't be violent, go home,

00:22:33.300 be peaceful. So that wouldn't work. Also because Donald Trump is threatening to start a third party

00:22:38.100 and or primary, the squishy Republicans who work against him. And they know that the Trump base

00:22:44.100 is still really strong because regardless of how irregular the election was, we can at least say

00:22:49.680 with certainty at minimum 74, 75 million Americans voted for Donald Trump. And those people really

00:22:55.840 like Donald Trump. Okay. It's not like, it's not like the Romney voters. I voted for Romney in 2012.

00:23:01.400 I'm not a diehard Romney voter. You know, I, I worked for two of his primary opponents

00:23:07.500 when he got the nomination. You know, I bought the t-shirt, I voted for the guy. I, he was better,

00:23:13.420 I felt, than Obama, but then Romney lost and I never cared about Mitt Romney again. Same is not

00:23:19.420 true of Trump voters because Donald Trump offered something different. He offered a different set of

00:23:24.080 policy prescriptions. He pointed out the real weaknesses in the GOP establishment and he accomplished

00:23:30.200 quite a lot more than any Republican president in my lifetime. So his voters really like him

00:23:35.960 and they really might listen to him. He had initially proposed this idea of a third party,

00:23:41.960 of a patriot party, but I never took this very seriously. Everyone was saying, oh no, he's going

00:23:46.420 to form this new third party and then they're going to run in these elections. And I thought,

00:23:50.480 no, because it, first of all, it cuts against his real leverage here, which is that he can primary,

00:23:56.340 he can put up candidates to primary the squishy Republicans. But to do that, you have to be

00:24:00.960 within the Republican party. And I also thought organization, political organization is not the

00:24:07.420 Trump campaign's great strength. Marketing is a great strength. Communication is a great strength.

00:24:15.840 Frankly, even putting together policies is a great strength. Those are all the key Trump campaign

00:24:23.060 strengths. But in terms of the on the ground game, they were outmatched even in the 2016 Republican

00:24:28.940 primary. It's just that the strength of Trump's candidacy was such that he was able to overcome

00:24:32.860 that. So I never viewed the patriot party idea as being a formal political party. I viewed it as

00:24:39.560 more akin to the Tea Party. I remember, I'm old enough to remember when the Tea Party came about.

00:24:44.840 Tea Party wasn't a formal political party. It was a grassroots political movement.

00:24:49.540 And, you know, in those days, the big issues were fiscal because you had Obamacare, you had that

00:24:54.820 jobless stimulus under, under Obama. And so you had this, regardless of how the left wanted to

00:25:00.880 portray the Tea Party and call them Nazis and fascists and whatever they, same stuff they always

00:25:05.060 call us. It was a primarily fiscal economic movement. It stood for taxed enough already, right?

00:25:12.340 It was very focused. And, you know, the, there was a lot of imagery from the founding fathers,

00:25:16.260 but a lot of it was economic. I think an idea of a patriot party makes a lot of sense now

00:25:21.460 because I think what we've learned in the last 10 years since the Tea Party is we got to deal with

00:25:26.760 the fiscal issues, but the fiscal issues will follow from the cultural issues. It's not that

00:25:31.900 we need to take a break from the cultural issues to fix our fiscal problems. It's, it's the opposite.

00:25:36.360 You're never going to fix the fiscal problems if you don't deal with the cultural problems.

00:25:39.840 And that goes all the way down to our love of country itself. It goes all the way down to the

00:25:44.920 question of patriotism. You now have the left disrespecting the American flag,

00:25:48.560 the right embracing the American flag. That's the question. The idea of a patriot party,

00:25:53.080 especially with a guy like Trump at the helm of it, Trump who famously is hugging the American flag

00:25:57.380 and kissing it at campaign rallies, that could be a serious winning and grassroots conservative

00:26:05.340 movement. You know, speaking of the culture, Daily Wire is taking back the culture, starting with

00:26:11.220 entertainment content. Earlier this month, we released our first film, Run, Hide, Fight,

00:26:16.700 exclusively for Daily Wire members. We picked up Run, Hide, Fight after Hollywood studios turned down

00:26:21.560 the quote, distasteful subject matter because it didn't include leftist talking points. It wasn't

00:26:27.520 pro gun control and it celebrated heroic bravery instead of glorifying mass shooters. So you've got to

00:26:34.560 check them out. You've got to read the early critic reviews for this movie, which were extraordinarily

00:26:40.160 negative. However, once we released it for you guys, the audience scores exploded. So Run,

00:26:46.220 Hide, Fight right now, I think it's at like 93% audience rating. It's got over 2000 reviews

00:26:52.260 and it's got like a 0% critics rating. No, it's not zero, but it's something like 27%

00:26:57.760 critics rating. So I think it's actually gone up a little bit. You can watch it over at dailywire.com

00:27:03.180 on our mobile app or on our streaming apps at Apple TV and Roku. I kid you not when sweet little

00:27:07.520 Lisa and I are looking to like go watch a movie, especially if it hasn't come out yet. We will

00:27:11.240 look and we want that ratio. We want, we want the low critic score. We want the high audience score.

00:27:16.700 That's how you, that's how you know you got a good movie. If you're not a member of Daily Wire,

00:27:20.020 use promo code RHF to get 25% off. That is RHF for 25% off. We'll be right back with a lot more.

00:27:25.500 Speaking of Trump world and people within Trump world running for office, we've got some,

00:27:44.580 I think, excellent news that is being leaked right now. Nothing formal has been declared,

00:27:51.100 but NBC news citing quote, two people familiar with her plans are reporting that Sarah Sanders 0.77

00:27:56.620 will announce her candidacy for Arkansas governor. And that's supposed to happen today. This is a

00:28:03.720 really, really good news. As far as I'm concerned, I don't know who the other candidates are. I

00:28:07.900 obviously don't live in Arkansas, but I do know Sarah Sanders a little bit and I'm, I'm so impressed

00:28:12.500 with her. She was one of the toughest, sharpest figures from the Trump administration. She's generally

00:28:20.160 just a very nice person, a very, very serious person down to earth and, and very sober minded.

00:28:28.520 You know, I think very much the sort of person who ought to be in public life more. I was hoping

00:28:33.120 when she left the white house that she would consider running for office, I guess, probably

00:28:36.280 in Arkansas. And so assuming, assuming those reports are true, I think it's fabulous. I think

00:28:41.820 this is going to really upset the GOP establishment. Actually, in many ways, like her father upset the

00:28:47.720 you remember when Mike Huckabee was running for president, the establishment GOP did not

00:28:51.960 like that guy very much. And, and obviously Sarah Sanders is coming now out of this Trump

00:28:56.900 administration. It just reminds you, the MAGA thing is not going anywhere. Even after Trump

00:29:04.900 leaves office, the MAGA thing is not going anywhere. People like that. Don't forget that

00:29:11.280 the make America great against slogan has been around since Reagan. It was Reagan's and then

00:29:14.660 no one used it again. And then Trump said, well, that's a pretty good slogan. This idea that we've

00:29:19.980 got to get rid of some of the shallow, you know, ideological talking points, the shallow slogans and

00:29:27.240 bumper stickers and get back to first principles, get back to, to basic elements of politics, love of

00:29:34.360 country, love of our communities, love of the American people, that sort of thing. I don't think

00:29:41.780 is going anywhere and nor should it. And it's not just we conservatives who ought to be happy about

00:29:47.740 this. The left is happy about this too, in a way, in a way that the press are happy about this too,

00:29:54.920 because they've loved beating up on Trump. They've loved it so much. It is the only way they've made

00:30:02.060 money and put food on their table. It is the greatest show on earth. And now you'll notice politics is a

00:30:09.140 little more boring. Behind the scenes, radical, insane things are happening, but the mainstream

00:30:13.740 media are uncovering that. You've got to tune into conservative outlets like this one if you want to

00:30:17.840 even hear about it. But on the surface, politics is very, very boring. And the left, I think, is

00:30:23.780 missing them. Brian Stelter took this question on head on. Are they missing Trump? He says no, but I think

00:30:29.100 he protests too much. Is President Biden making the news boring again? People are always asking what the

00:30:36.680 media will do post-President Trump. This week, after Biden's inauguration, they've been asking,

00:30:42.260 are reporters going through withdrawal? Are they missing Trump's tweets? Are they lost without

00:30:47.680 outrages to cover? These headlines from Axios and other websites point out that Biden's plan is dull

00:30:54.580 by design. So is he making the news boring again? Let me answer all of those questions the way Biden

00:31:01.460 would. Come on, man. No way. The Biden White House is clearly a break from the chaos and incompetence

00:31:10.040 of Trump world. But we are living through history right now. January alone has been one of the most

00:31:15.580 tumultuous months in all of American history. The follow-ups will take many months and maybe years.

00:31:21.940 There is so much to report. And there is nothing boring about the COVID-19 crisis. Nothing boring

00:31:28.200 about this national emergency as Biden has rightly identified it. So the evidence that Brian Stelter

00:31:36.760 is citing that, that Joe Biden is not making politics boring again is that the media are still

00:31:42.780 talking about a bunch of Trump stories. All right. He says, Biden's not making politics boring again.

00:31:49.060 Look at all those awful Trump supporters. Yeah. They, those Trump supporters, you know,

00:31:53.280 they're tweeting and they're storming places and they're, yeah. So anyway, Biden's not making it

00:31:58.720 boring. And, and COVID, which, which Biden is calling a national emergency, unlike Trump,

00:32:04.280 who obviously also called it a national emergency many, many months ago. But COVID too, you remember

00:32:09.520 that thing? Remember that thing that the liberal establishment exaggerated the lethality of because

00:32:15.920 they hated Trump so much. You remember that, that virus that, uh, we shut down the entire globe for

00:32:22.180 in no small part over political considerations because we all hate Trump so much. Look, that's evidence

00:32:27.060 that Joe Biden's not making it boring again. Any, anything we're still talking about that is at all

00:32:31.760 interesting in, in national politics has to do with Trump. Even the nefarious Biden administration

00:32:40.200 policies that are, or a reaction to Trump, right? They're undoing so much of what Trump did in his

00:32:46.100 executive orders and going back to that old, awful, liberal, progressive normal that we, we rejected

00:32:54.400 in 2016 and that many people rejected in 2020. Of course they're missing him. And some people are

00:33:01.760 missing him even more than Brian Stelter. You know, Brian Stelter basically saying, no, you know,

00:33:06.320 it's like he got dumped by his girlfriend. He said, no, I don't, I never even think about her.

00:33:09.880 What are you talking about? No, not at, I don't think, I don't lay awake at night,

00:33:13.560 every night thinking about her. Well, some people miss Trump even more than Brian Stelter does.

00:33:18.060 Namely the, the majority leader of the U S Senate, Chuck Schumer, who, who made a little Freudian slip

00:33:25.280 on the floor last week. It will be a fair trial, but make no mistake. There will be a trial. And when

00:33:33.040 that trial ends, senators will have to decide if they believe Donald John, Donald John Trump,

00:33:39.880 incited the erection, insurrection against the United States. Oh, he did Chuck. He truer words

00:33:48.960 have never been spoken. Certainly have never been spoken, spoken by Chuck Schumer. If Donald Trump

00:33:55.020 incited anything, he incited that among Democrats, among the press, they had very complex ideas about

00:34:04.280 it. It was a little bit of a sadomasochistic kind of situation, but, but he did incite that among them

00:34:12.480 and among, among many other people. That is a Freudian slip where of course you say one thing,

00:34:17.360 but mean your mother. And, uh, Chuck Schumer is, is not alone in his party. They're going to drag this

00:34:23.340 out. We're going to be talking about Trump through February, through mid-February, probably.

00:34:28.900 They're going to impeach him. And you know what they're going to do once they acquit him?

00:34:31.980 They're probably just going to impeach him again. I'm not predicting that will happen.

00:34:37.280 At this point, I wouldn't be surprised. They have to do it. And it's, in a way it's sort of sad

00:34:44.740 because the reason that Trump was so interesting is not just his personality, which of course is very

00:34:52.420 eccentric and he's a TV star and he's been a pop culture figure for 40 years. So obviously that's

00:34:58.560 part of the reason we're all fascinated by him. But another reason we're fascinated by him is that

00:35:03.640 he offered something different than the status quo, which, which had been offered by, certainly by the

00:35:09.500 progressive left, by the Democrats for many decades, but even by the Republicans who were just sort of the,

00:35:15.600 the flip side to that progressive coin. They were sort of the court jesters in the kingdom of

00:35:20.120 liberalism. They all, you know, all Republicans could really offer would be to cut taxes,

00:35:24.520 but on, on the substantive cultural issues, they basically just rolled over. It was all kind of

00:35:29.940 the same. Then Trump offers something different. Now what Trump was offering, protect our borders.

00:35:35.880 Don't let grown men go into the little girl's room at the public pool, support jobs, defend a foreign 1.00

00:35:44.640 policy that, that puts America first before other countries. These kinds of things, very,

00:35:49.260 very basic, defend our constitution, right? Totally common sense. What the left is offering

00:35:55.780 is not at all common sense. It's absolutely radical. Censor half of the country, force little 0.91

00:36:04.200 girls to change with grown men, redefine bedrock social institutions, radically redistribute wealth, 0.86

00:36:11.280 institute a new racial caste system, give a lot of our money to foreign powers and give a lot of our 0.71

00:36:16.540 sovereignty over to them as well. All that sort of stuff, slaughter a million babies a year, all 0.99

00:36:20.920 that kind of stuff, completely radical stuff. But because it's been going on for so long, we're used to

00:36:27.260 it. We're used to it. And that seems like what is normal. I'll, I'll give you an example of this kind of

00:36:36.060 normalcy. Dr. Fauci, who I think now is, is the Supreme Chancellor of the United States and if not the

00:36:42.200 world, right, this was, Biden campaigned on giving Fauci more power, more power than he's already

00:36:46.940 had. And he's got a lot of power to craft our public policy and our foreign policy. Dr. Fauci

00:36:51.600 announces at a board meeting of the World Health Organization, which we've now rejoined, essentially

00:36:56.940 a Chinese front group these days. But we've rejoined, we're now back on board with the new

00:37:02.960 global order that the liberal world order. Fauci announces, quote, President Biden will be revoking

00:37:09.940 the Mexico City policy in the coming days as part of his broader commitment to protect women's health

00:37:13.960 and advance gender equality at home around, and around the world. The Mexico City policy protects

00:37:18.240 U.S. taxpayer dollars from going to kill little brown babies in third world countries. That's what 1.00

00:37:22.900 it does. The, the Mexico City policy says, we are not going to pay for abortions around the world.

00:37:32.180 Simple enough. Dr. Fauci comes out and says, no, money's coming again, guys. Go kill all those

00:37:36.700 babies. Go to every poor country on earth and go kill all those babies because we are going to get 1.00

00:37:41.400 U.S. taxpayer money. This I mentioned, it's a very sad thing as in the policy itself. But I also want

00:37:49.480 to point it out as a reminder that science in political rhetoric is nothing more than a slogan

00:37:54.920 used by demagogues. There's nothing scientific about revoking the Mexico City policy. There is no

00:38:00.940 reason that Dr. Fauci should be the spokesperson for this or that he should be celebrating this policy

00:38:05.640 change, which he, and he manifestly is celebrating, right? He's saying it's going to protect women's

00:38:10.060 health. It's going to advance gender equality. It's not going to do either of those things. It's

00:38:12.860 going to kill a bunch of babies, which obviously is harmful to health. And it's, it, it doesn't help

00:38:20.460 gender equality. I mean, the way abortion is practiced in a lot of these poor countries and

00:38:25.860 developing countries is that women are aborted at higher rates than men. Little, little girls

00:38:32.120 aborted at higher rates than little boys. But what Fauci is doing here is making an ethical

00:38:37.660 argument. He's making a moral argument. He's making a political argument. And he shouldn't

00:38:42.180 be making any of those arguments because he's, he's ethically, morally, and politically idiotic. 0.54

00:38:48.960 He's very good at, at working the levers of power. But, but as a matter of, of understanding a true

00:38:57.120 and good political philosophy, moral philosophy, he's, he's completely bankrupt. I never elected

00:39:03.480 the guy. You never elected the guy. He should not be in office. If only Trump in his, one of his final

00:39:07.880 acts could have not only fired Fauci, but exiled him to some far away island, we would all be

00:39:12.460 much the better for it. We just celebrated the anniversary of Roe v. Wade. I didn't celebrate it.

00:39:20.040 I suspect Fauci did though. I suspect Joe Biden did. Devout Catholic Joe Biden was thrilled about 0.92

00:39:26.180 the anniversary of Roe v. Wade. And at the very least, I guess we can say that the, the Biden

00:39:31.080 administration's policy on genocide is consistent across the board. The Biden administration is

00:39:37.300 willing to encourage genocide in certain places through abortion. But the Biden administration's

00:39:43.260 also, also willing, even where it can't actively encourage it, to just look the other way.

00:39:47.200 For instance, at China's genocide against the Uyghur people.

00:39:52.340 The previous administration on their way out the door declared that China's human rights abuses

00:39:58.380 against Uyghur Muslims were quote crimes against humanity and quote a genocide. Does the president

00:40:04.360 agree with that determination and will he keep it? Well, I know that our secretary of state is just

00:40:11.320 about to get confirmed or so, so Senator McConnell tells us, and I'm sure he will be reviewing. I know he

00:40:17.100 will be reviewing a number of the decisions and assessments that have made. Obviously the

00:40:21.220 president has spoken before to the, to the horrific treatment of Uyghurs, but I don't have anything more 1.00

00:40:29.060 for you on it. I can check with our national security team and see if we have a more up to date

00:40:32.860 statement. This lady is so weak as press secretary. It won't matter. It won't affect the way she does 1.00

00:40:41.760 her job because the press will never follow up on those sorts of questions. But this is pretty weak

00:40:46.340 sauce. She's done this repeatedly now, and she's only been in the job a few days where she will get

00:40:50.580 a question, a totally easy question, a question that she should have the answer to. And she'll say,

00:40:54.460 oh yeah, I don't know. Oh yeah. What do we think about that genocide that China's committing? 0.98

00:40:59.340 You know, that very important, often talked about foreign policy question. I don't know.

00:41:06.580 I don't know. Maybe I'll, I'll check. I'll check with the guys. I'll get back to you. Can you

00:41:10.500 just leave me your number? I'll text you or whatever. Text you later. I'll get back to you.

00:41:14.180 Don't call me. I'll call you. Pretty weak stuff. Now, the reason that she's got a punt on this 1.00

00:41:18.580 question, of course, is that China is committing genocide against the Uyghurs. We have photos of

00:41:23.420 it. We have photos of, of these guys being blindfolded and, and actually loaded onto box

00:41:27.620 cars, right? And Joe Biden isn't going to do nothing about it. Joe Biden wants to suck up to

00:41:35.500 China. He believes, as he said for many years, that it is good for China to rise, that a rising

00:41:41.640 China is good for the whole world. He wants to give them advantages in the national sphere

00:41:45.460 and he's not going to call them out. He's going to go very, very soft.

00:41:51.400 At this point, the press is just completely gaslighting us. The press is just completely

00:41:59.140 trolling us. Even when they ask a little question like that of Jen Psaki, they'll say, oh, what

00:42:02.600 about the, you know, the, the genocide thing? You know, you, yeah, please tell me you have

00:42:06.400 an answer for that because it's a little awkward when I have to defend Biden on this. And

00:42:10.100 she'll say, yeah, no, we got an answer. I'll get it. I'll get it to you later.

00:42:13.680 Okay. Thank you. That's good. Wow. Biden, he's so great. Meanwhile, they write their fluff pieces.

00:42:18.380 There was one piece, there were so many pieces that came out over the weekend.

00:42:21.400 There was one in the New York Times talking about how Joe Biden was wearing a Rolex at his

00:42:24.640 inauguration. And I thought, oh, maybe they're going to attack him for wearing a watch that's

00:42:29.280 too nice when he's talking about, you know, how we need to redistribute wealth and he's Joe

00:42:32.660 from Scranton. No, basically it was just an article about how handsome he is and how fun and cool

00:42:36.960 he is. It's a very, very silly article that took a lot of shots at Trump and had a completely

00:42:42.260 incoherent thesis, but they, they, they're, they're upping the gaslighting and the trolling

00:42:47.720 and making it much, much worse. They have a new theory on how we can protect ourselves from the

00:42:54.640 coronavirus. You remember initially Fauci told us masks don't work. Don't wear masks. The surgeon

00:43:01.800 general said, do not wear masks. People stop buying them. Eric Swalwell. He is me. He is you.

00:43:09.400 We are him. Eric Swalwell, former future president. He came out and said, don't wear masks.

00:43:14.660 Then all those guys changed their mind. They said, no, you have to wear masks all the time. And if

00:43:18.440 you don't, you're going to kill people. And when Fauci was asked about his change of heart, he said,

00:43:21.600 oh, well, it's because I was making a political decision. I wanted the masks for special people and

00:43:26.960 I didn't want you plebs to have the masks. So I told you not to wear them. So I lied to you, 1.00

00:43:30.460 but now listen to me now. And you got to wear it. It's very important. But then you look and

00:43:34.720 whenever Fauci's photographed in private, you know, even if he's around people, but he doesn't

00:43:38.300 think the cameras are on, he doesn't have the mask on. So very difficult to take him seriously.

00:43:42.160 Well, now he's got a new, he's got, he's got a new theory. The whole left, rather, not just Fauci,

00:43:47.960 but the entire left has this new theory. You should wear two masks. New York Times, two masks

00:43:54.280 are the new masks. Double masking is a sensible and easy way to lower your risk when you have

00:44:01.380 to spend more time around others, in a taxi, on a train or a plane or at an inauguration.

00:44:06.760 So they, we have seen time and time and time again that the masks seem to be a little less

00:44:15.380 effective than we were told they were. We've seen studies to this effect that have come out and said

00:44:20.160 the masks don't do very much. We've had major health officials, epidemiologists from Columbia

00:44:24.740 and Fauci himself come out and say, the masks don't do very much. We just know the way the

00:44:30.340 masks are implemented. We're touching our faces. People aren't wearing them right. They're,

00:44:33.820 they're not doing much. As Fauci said, they make people feel good, but they don't accomplish a lot.

00:44:38.760 So what does the New York Times do? Do they, do they, do they finally admit to us? Do they let the

00:44:43.620 masks slip to use an apt metaphor and say, okay, yeah, you got us. It was just kind of whatever.

00:44:48.840 It's BS, but we're making you do it. No. They, they look at us and they say, hey, yeah, where to?

00:44:56.120 Yeah, where to? I know. Oh yeah. We told you 15 days to slow the spread 11 months ago. Yeah. No,

00:45:00.460 just 15 more days. In the masks, they're really, maybe wear three. Put them on, wear the mask.

00:45:06.460 Say what we want you to say. Do what we want you to do. I, I made this point maybe a month or two

00:45:12.800 ago. No, I guess it was earlier than that during the virus as it was really surging and everyone was

00:45:18.280 taking it very, very seriously. I said, what they're doing to you with the masks is, is basically

00:45:23.860 saying, put this donut on your head. Right? Cause the argument with the masks was, okay, maybe they

00:45:29.620 don't work. Maybe they don't do very much, but it can't hurt. Or maybe it can hurt a little bit if

00:45:33.500 you don't wear them correctly. It actually can increase the spread, but yeah. And you wear certain

00:45:36.820 masks, but it's, it won't hurt that much. Just, just do it. Come on. It's not a big deal. It's not a big

00:45:41.300 deal. Just wear the masks. And they could make the same argument and say, look, hey,

00:45:44.860 I know that this donut, it's probably not going to do very much or whatever, but, uh, look, it will,

00:45:51.440 it'll make everyone feel better. Dr. Fauci wants you to do it. Um, Joe Biden wants you to do it.

00:45:56.740 Just put the donut on your head and then, uh, jump up, jump up and down on one, on one foot. I know,

00:46:03.220 look, it might, maybe it won't help, but just do it. Just do it. It's all about the imposition.

00:46:09.120 It's not about the thing itself. When they tell you don't wear masks and when they tell you do

00:46:14.900 wear masks and when they now tell you to wear two masks, none of that is about the masks.

00:46:20.700 It's about the imposition. It's about your submission. It's about you doing what they say

00:46:24.640 to do. When they come, come on television and they say, hey, before you make your argument,

00:46:33.220 say what we want you to say. No, I know your argument is going to address that. Say it,

00:46:36.780 use the exact words that I want you to say. Say it, say it, do it, do it. I don't think so. I

00:46:43.020 don't think I want to do that. And that wasn't even the trolliest article in the New York times

00:46:47.220 over the past few days. That, that, that honor goes to Elizabeth Diaz who writes, quote,

00:46:53.400 in Biden's Catholic faith, an ascendant liberal Christianity. That's the headline. Okay.

00:47:00.060 What's the tweet? New York time tweets this out like, like as if that wasn't enough.

00:47:04.100 Quote, President Biden is perhaps the most religiously observant commander in chief

00:47:12.120 in half a century. A different, more liberal Christianity grounds his life and his policies.

00:47:20.440 Just for those who are not, you know, religiously inclined, a different, more liberal Christianity

00:47:27.420 is a code word for a heresy. Now, what's funny about this though, look, it's a different,

00:47:32.980 more liberal Christianity. You might say, okay, well, it's one of the, it's one of the maybe more

00:47:36.460 liberal Protestant denominations and there are plenty of them. However, Joe Biden pretends to

00:47:39.960 be a Catholic. So that, that's not a different, more liberal Christianity. It's Catholicism. There's

00:47:45.480 one holy Catholic and apostolic church. That's in the creed that Joe Biden is supposed to believe in.

00:47:51.220 And the left doesn't like Catholicism. Do you remember when Amy Coney Barrett was up to be a, 0.95

00:47:56.520 not even a Supreme court judge, she was just up for her first judgeship.

00:47:58.820 And Dianne Feinstein worried out loud. She said, I think the dogma lives loudly within you.

00:48:04.680 Then when she was put up for the Supreme court, there were all these fears. Oh, she's too Catholic. 0.91

00:48:08.180 She's too devout. Uh-oh. You're an Orthodox Catholic. You can't be Orthodox. What's the 0.94

00:48:14.560 opposite of Orthodox? Heterodox. It means you're heretical. It means you don't, you contradict the 0.87

00:48:19.580 faith. Remember when president Trump during those riots, when, when the left tried to burn down one of

00:48:25.560 the most famous churches in the country. Remember Trump walked over there and held that Bible up high

00:48:29.680 and the left furious, rending their teeth, rending their garments, gnashing their teeth,

00:48:35.340 screaming, what have you to do with us? Well, now they love Christianity because Joe Biden is a

00:48:42.540 devout Catholic, the most devout Catholic. Joe Biden was denied the Eucharist at a church in North

00:48:49.300 Carolina because he is publicly and unrepentantly living in grave mortal sin. The sin of supporting

00:48:57.960 abortion materially as president, but also the sin of scandal because he's the most prominent Catholic 0.93

00:49:03.360 down in the country. And he is contradicting the faith very, very openly. They're just trolling us.

00:49:12.320 They're just trolling us. But in a way, they're, they're trying to project their hopes into the

00:49:20.660 future. They're, they're hoping that if they can say it enough, it will become true. That's the

00:49:23.900 premise of political correctness, which also is less about the words and more about the imposition,

00:49:29.700 right? Political correctness doesn't matter. Sometimes they'll say you need to call, uh, black

00:49:34.480 people, African-Americans, or you have to call them people of color, or you have to call them this,

00:49:38.060 or you have to call them that, whatever, whatever word for whatever group you want to bring up.

00:49:43.160 The, the words always change, but the imposition remains the same. Well, this is what the left

00:49:47.740 wants. They want this new Christianity. They don't want it to be Christianity. They want it to be, 0.97

00:49:51.880 uh, uh, Christianity without Christ. A, a people without sin going into a kingdom without judgment

00:50:01.020 through the ministrations of a Christ without a cross, to quote other religious thinkers. They want

00:50:06.640 that new Christianity to just be progressivism. That's the new religion. That is a totalizing 1.00

00:50:12.300 force. And they are not just going to censor you from saying what you believe. They are going to

00:50:17.680 force you to recite their creeds. They're going to coerce that speech out of you. Things are 0.73

00:50:23.340 happening very, very quickly. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show. We'll get into more
