00:00:37.680 Are you excited to graduate from college but worried that you might have to interact with people whose race and wealth differs from your own?

00:00:47.320 Well, if you've got this anxiety, if you wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat thinking about this,

00:00:52.120 Columbia University has the answer for you. 0.95

00:00:54.420 They are holding six multicultural segregated graduation ceremonies because I think that's the best way to show those rich white racists

00:01:07.000 is to separate them from all the other races and all the other income groups. 0.97

00:01:12.700 That is segregation for social justice.

00:01:15.460 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:01:16.080 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:16.880 Welcome back to the show.

00:01:25.340 My favorite comment yesterday from Fernando Diaz 7, who says he's pretty sure Don Lemon is not Catholic.

00:01:32.700 So why does he care about what the Pope says on marriage?

00:01:35.860 Why doesn't he speak up on what other religions have to say?

00:01:39.040 For example, Islam.

00:01:40.720 Ah, you've realized what this is all about.

00:01:43.300 You've seen what this is all really about.

00:01:46.740 When there are attacks on Christianity broadly and specifically on the Catholic Church,

00:01:52.520 it is usually not because of the actual issue at stake.

00:01:58.160 It is usually simply an attack on the church as the basis of and an avatar for the West.

00:02:08.400 So the Quran says that if people commit homosexual acts, they should be punished and harmed. 0.88

00:02:14.980 Doesn't matter. 0.93

00:02:16.200 Actually, ironically, what you'll often see is the left embracing Islamists.

00:02:22.620 It's always as part of a broader attack on the West.

00:02:27.460 This is how you could have people like Linda Sarsour holding hands with Gloria Steinem at the Women's March. 0.94

00:02:34.000 These two gals might have pretty different views of the world, but they both dislike the West. 0.97

00:02:40.360 They want to upend our culture, and so they're going to join together.

00:02:44.580 This is what you see in the process of political correctness.

00:02:47.100 On the one hand, we're told, yes, sex is totally fixed, and if you've got certain desires, you can't change them.

00:02:54.140 Born this way, that's why we have to get rid of the old definition of marriage. 1.00

00:02:57.240 Then, at the next breath, they'll say, actually, there's no such thing as sex.

00:03:00.680 Men can become women. 0.79

00:03:01.440 It doesn't matter.

00:03:02.100 But that's why, also, we need to get rid of our old ideas about sex and marriage.

00:03:07.020 Opposite ideas, but it's a purely negative campaign to attack the West.

00:03:12.940 Can't take it at face value because it's not in good faith.

00:03:16.400 You know who also do not act in good faith?

00:03:19.660 Cyber criminals, which is why you've got to check out LifeLock.

00:03:22.100 The IRS issued an urgent warning about a new scam to steal the electronic filing identification numbers from tax professionals over email.

00:03:29.580 Cyber criminals can use this information to file fraudulent tax returns.

00:03:33.520 Tax professionals should be aware of the latest phishing scams, but individuals also should take steps to protect themselves.

00:03:39.740 It's important to understand how cyber crime and identity theft are affecting our lives.

00:03:43.760 LifeLock helps detect a wide range of identity threats, like your social security number for sale on the dark web.

00:03:49.240 If they detect your information has potentially been compromised, they will send you an alert.

00:03:54.640 I used to think this kind of stuff doesn't matter.

00:03:56.840 Now, look, if you've been watching the way that technology has developed and technology companies have developed over the past couple years,

00:04:04.960 and you still don't believe cyber security is a big problem demanding your attention, I don't know if I can help you.

00:04:10.500 No one can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses,

00:04:14.180 but you can keep what's yours with LifeLock Identity Theft Protection.

00:04:27.880 Columbia really is hosting six separate graduation ceremonies to segregate students based on their race and their wealth.

00:04:38.200 Now, from what I gather this year, the graduation ceremony is going to be, the commencement ceremony is going to be online.

00:04:45.320 It's going to be on Zoom, so people are going to be paying those exorbitant fees as they have for a year,

00:04:50.900 and they're not going to be getting in-person education.

00:04:53.580 They're going to be, they've completed their Zoom year, now they're going to have a Zoom graduation.

00:04:58.960 The university is now trying to clarify what exactly is going on.

00:05:03.320 So they, they released a statement pointing out that these graduation ceremonies exist in addition to,

00:05:09.700 not instead of, university-wide commencement and individual school class days.

00:05:15.560 These events are voluntary and they're open to every student.

00:05:19.900 Now, how does that make any sense?

00:05:21.020 What do you mean they're open to every student?

00:05:22.460 They are segregated on the basis of race and income, but they're open to every student.

00:05:27.960 And I guess, legally, this has to be true.

00:05:31.320 So they'll say, yes, you know, the black student graduation is open to every student.

00:05:36.480 But do you think that if you're a white guy and you show up to the black student graduation,

00:05:42.240 that you're going to be welcomed into that event? 0.87

00:05:45.060 No, probably not.

00:05:46.660 As a legal matter, they might have to let you in.

00:05:49.060 But the whole point of the event is to exclude people of other races. 0.83

00:05:53.600 But that's not legal, so they have to have these little caveats.

00:05:56.860 I think it's the sort of way that if, if I were at college right now and I wanted to join the African-American Center

00:06:04.380 or the Latino, I don't know, the Latinx now, I guess is what it's called, or La Raza is what it used to be called.

00:06:10.960 Talk about racism.

00:06:12.360 The organization is actually called The Race.

00:06:14.220 But if I wanted to join one of these ethnic interest groups, I think legally they have to let me in. 0.95

00:06:21.820 Because we're, in this country, not, not supposed to have racial discrimination.

00:06:26.860 Certainly at publicly funded places.

00:06:30.800 But as a practical matter, you know, something tells me I'm not getting elected president of the AFAM house or chairman of La Raza.

00:06:39.900 Also, the fact that this is voluntary and it's in addition to, how does this make it any better?

00:06:47.020 I guess it may, marginally it makes it better, but it's still so degraded.

00:06:50.800 I remember this from my own graduation from college, which was not that long ago.

00:06:54.580 I graduated, I guess it was kind of long ago now, nine years ago.

00:06:58.460 I was there, you know, all the students are there and all the different dorms and residential colleges and different schools.

00:07:05.140 And I noticed some students had on these weird shawls.

00:07:10.660 And some, one was in a sort of Kente print, a sort of African type print.

00:07:14.400 And that one was the most obvious because you noticed it was black students wearing the Kente print.

00:07:19.000 Not all black students, but everyone who was wearing the print was a black student.

00:07:22.900 And, you know, some other people had different kind of shawls on.

00:07:25.020 And I thought, is that a particular, you know, honor society?

00:07:29.900 Is that a particular distinction?

00:07:31.800 Maybe if you graduated cum laude or this or that.

00:07:34.620 And then I realized, no, the shawls that you, that these people were wearing at their graduation

00:07:40.660 were not representative of any academic achievement whatsoever.

00:07:45.580 They were just representative of race. 0.97

00:07:48.560 And you think, my goodness gracious, you go to a place like Columbia, you know, you get

00:07:54.400 in, it's not an easy school to get into.

00:07:56.140 All these Ivy League schools are much, much harder to get into than they, than they are

00:07:59.820 to graduate.

00:08:00.700 Once you're in, you basically can do whatever you want.

00:08:03.140 I was told when I was interviewing for college that it would take an act of violence to be booted

00:08:08.540 out of a place like Yale or Harvard.

00:08:10.640 And I think that's probably true, but still, you know, whatever you got into it, you know,

00:08:13.440 and you made it all the way through and you've gone through all your courses and you've

00:08:16.560 done all your work and maybe you've worked a job while you've, and you, right, you've,

00:08:20.740 you've achieved something, hopefully, at least it used to stand for something.

00:08:24.880 And at your graduation day, the thing you most want to focus on, the thing you're, you're

00:08:30.640 most proud of, you're wearing it in front of you is the color of your skin.

00:08:34.340 That is so sad. 1.00

00:08:36.520 That's so pathetic. 0.99

00:08:37.500 And they, they were doing this at the universities years ago. 0.99

00:08:41.840 I mean, now, you know, nine, 10 years ago, how much crazier this has gotten now that

00:08:46.520 there are separate graduation ceremonies.

00:08:48.280 They're really, really offensive to consider the most important aspect of one's character

00:08:51.920 be to be one's race.

00:08:53.540 But this is all we hear.

00:08:54.880 There was a new breaking news headline that we now have our first Native American cabinet

00:09:02.720 secretary.

00:09:03.680 Wow.

00:09:04.500 Deb Haaland has been approved by the Senate to lead the U.S. Department of the Interior.

00:09:11.300 This is part of Joe Biden's campaign to, quote, ensure tribes have a seat at the table

00:09:15.240 at the highest levels of the federal government.

00:09:17.020 By the way, Joe, I think that ship sailed.

00:09:18.740 Okay.

00:09:19.020 I think it's a little too, little too late if we're talking about treaties with the Native 0.97

00:09:25.460 Americans.

00:09:26.320 But this is being pushed as a sort of woke moment. 0.98

00:09:29.980 We finally, isn't it about damn time that we have a Native American cabinet secretary? 0.99

00:09:36.340 Except we've already had not a Native American cabinet secretary. 0.62

00:09:39.820 We had a Native American vice president almost a hundred years ago, Charles Curtis, vice president

00:09:48.280 from 1929 to 1933, Senate majority leader before that, congressman before that, a Republican,

00:09:56.600 I would note.

00:09:58.300 This was not considered a huge breakthrough at the time.

00:10:02.380 Charles Curtis's Native American ancestry and tribal claims and physical appearance.

00:10:09.320 The guy looked like a Native American.

00:10:11.620 That was not considered particularly important.

00:10:14.940 He had his, he put his importance in what he did, in what he accomplished, in his career.

00:10:20.220 But because we've become so frivolous as a society, we no longer do that.

00:10:26.220 It's all just me, me, me.

00:10:27.580 It has nothing to do with our actions.

00:10:28.960 It's just our own, our own inner sense of virtue that we can only really trace to our most superficial

00:10:34.720 physical characteristics.

00:10:35.760 But this is part of a larger strategy of indoctrination, and it is taking place on university campuses.

00:10:42.720 It's some of the top university campuses in the country.

00:10:45.200 YAF, the Young America's Foundation, with whom I do my campus speaking tour, back when

00:10:50.600 campus speaking tours still existed.

00:10:52.100 Hopefully they're going to start again now that the psychopoliticians are letting people 0.94

00:10:56.500 go back to school.

00:10:58.400 YAF just uncovered a video.

00:11:00.560 This comes from Princeton Theological Seminary that shows just a little bit of the diversity

00:11:09.440 re-education classes that all these students are being subjected to.

00:11:14.860 Dr. Ibram X.

00:11:16.580 Kendi states, the work of anti-racism is to identify, describe, and dismantle.

00:11:23.040 Wherever you are in the continuum, the two pandemics demand that we reimagine our society,

00:11:30.960 and indeed our seminary, beyond our current structures and practices.

00:11:35.840 I also think that knowing that every member of our institution has committed themselves to

00:11:41.940 this work offers a powerful testimony to our broader seminary community that we recognize

00:11:48.720 anti-racism formation is a critical component of Christian discipleship and witness, and that

00:11:55.560 this work of doing justice is ongoing.

00:11:58.620 I think the anti-racism affirms a holistic theology, right?

00:12:04.020 It acknowledges, and when we acknowledge that this is an issue that's part of our theological

00:12:10.060 understanding, that it's part of our theology and praxis for the future of the church, what

00:12:17.240 a gift.

00:12:18.400 I'm excited that it's not a program, that it's being embedded as a way of life in our company

00:12:26.320 community understanding.

00:12:28.720 There it is. 1.00

00:12:29.700 Not just a program, not just a course, not just something you tell like, hey, don't be a jerk 0.99

00:12:33.800 to people of other races. 0.98

00:12:35.580 It is being embedded.

00:12:37.060 It is being made the sort of central fact, and this at Princeton Theological Seminary,

00:12:43.420 right?

00:12:43.580 So they're supposed to be studying religion, and what is true about it is racism is an

00:12:50.360 affront to human dignity.

00:12:51.660 You know, to hate people on the basis of their race is an affront to human dignity, and that's

00:12:54.900 why it's wrong.

00:12:56.060 It's not the center of the Christian faith.

00:13:00.880 This is not the center of religious life.

00:13:02.900 Chesterton famously said that heresy is not the promotion of vice over virtue, but it's

00:13:09.220 the promotion of one virtue to the exclusion of all the others.

00:13:11.920 That's how I feel about the anti-racism thing.

00:13:13.740 I'm not, I'm not even totally going to just dismiss it out of hand.

00:13:18.160 I do want to take the idea seriously, and I do think that there is such a thing as hatred

00:13:21.840 for people based on their race, and I do, and I do think that's wrong, and you know, 0.80

00:13:25.940 we shouldn't do that.

00:13:28.380 That makes perfect sense.

00:13:31.360 But to make that the center, to make that the idol of your religion is to lose your religion.

00:13:36.420 That's the problem.

00:13:37.260 You know, when you make idols out of these things that are good in their proper place,

00:13:41.220 then you distort our view of the world.

00:13:44.560 The state is a good thing, right?

00:13:46.260 The state gives us law and order, and that's how we all get along in society.

00:13:49.260 But when you exalt that into an idol, you get statism.

00:13:54.900 Free markets, for instance, that's a good thing as an instrument to human flourishing.

00:14:01.320 Individuality, good thing to human flourishing, but when you make an idol out of it, you get

00:14:04.220 individualism, right?

00:14:05.620 So you don't want, you want these things in their proper place.

00:14:08.540 This is part of a strategy that the left is using to upend our society, and it's taking

00:14:14.700 place largely at the universities.

00:14:18.120 And it, it doesn't have very much to do with reality.

00:14:23.660 You'll notice there's a big divergence between what we're being told, this is a white supremacist, 0.99

00:14:28.780 horrible country, all the black people are being killed, they're being hunted down, as 0.99

00:14:32.380 a famous athlete said, every time they leave their homes, and the reality of it. 0.99

00:14:37.260 We'll, we'll get into the reality of that in just one second.

00:14:40.320 But first, you know, you might wonder why I look so rested, why I feel so good in the

00:14:44.220 morning.

00:14:44.540 It's because of Bowling Branch.

00:14:47.240 Bowling Branch makes the absolute softest organic sheets on the market.

00:15:17.120 But I've gotten to do it.

00:15:17.660 And the first thing I noticed about really nice high-end hotels, it's the sheets, it's

00:15:22.540 Me, especially in my bachelor days, I would basically sleep on sandpaper, whatever the

00:15:25.780 cheapest sheets were.

00:15:52.020 Do you want to know what institutional racism really looks like?

00:15:58.020 Right?

00:15:58.240 We're always told about institutional racism.

00:16:00.860 And that's like, they mean anti-black racism specifically or anti-Mexican or anti-Indian or

00:16:07.800 whatever.

00:16:08.420 I'm referring to the Native Americans, not the other, but I guess the other Indians do. 0.98

00:16:14.200 You realize, of course, that the left controls all of the institutions, right?

00:16:17.700 Big tech, higher education, lower education, the administrative state, on and on, Hollywood,

00:16:21.600 right?

00:16:22.020 So if they control all the institutions and there is institutional racism, that would be

00:16:25.540 a problem for the left.

00:16:27.080 And we see this in the media.

00:16:28.660 Here's some institutional racism.

00:16:30.160 There was a story just came out of Rochester. 0.99

00:16:32.260 Two black teens burned a mentally ill white guy to death. 0.99

00:16:37.760 Rochester, New York. 0.99

00:16:39.200 The two black teens have been charged with assault and arson.

00:16:43.840 I'm not sure if they were charged with murder.

00:16:46.220 They snuck into the guy's home on Friday afternoon.

00:16:49.260 They sprayed him with an ignitable fluid and they set him on fire until 70% of his body

00:16:55.100 was covered in second degree burns.

00:16:56.980 Then they left him to die.

00:16:59.160 But thankfully, a man, maybe it might've been a mailman or a worker who was checking on the

00:17:04.460 gas and the electric, came into the apartment, tried to put him out, put the guy who was on

00:17:10.560 fire, put him out. 0.77

00:17:11.220 By the time 9-1-1 got there though, it was too late.

00:17:14.820 The victim fought for his life for four days in a burn trauma unit and then he died.

00:17:20.460 A police source has confirmed the original reporting, which came from Bob Lonsberry,

00:17:25.720 has confirmed that to the Daily Wire.

00:17:28.960 You probably haven't heard of this story.

00:17:30.620 If the races were reversed, this would be a national, actually an international news story

00:17:37.200 and the teens would be called white supremacists and they would certainly go to prison for life

00:17:44.900 and likely receive the death penalty. 0.53

00:17:48.780 There would be marches in the streets.

00:17:51.180 There would, if 2020 is any indication, there would be riots all over the streets.

00:17:55.980 Stores would be broken into.

00:17:57.500 People would be stealing private property in the name of social justice.

00:18:01.720 Cities would be on fire, but the races are reversed here.

00:18:06.480 So not only is none of that happening, but none of that's happening in large part.

00:18:12.500 Well, none of it would happen anyway, but one of the reasons none of it's happening is because

00:18:16.560 the media just won't cover it.

00:18:18.120 Are these kids being charged with a hate crime?

00:18:20.300 I don't know.

00:18:20.580 What is a hate crime? 0.85

00:18:21.280 Hate crime, sort of a silly phrase. 0.96

00:18:23.740 It's a silly idea.

00:18:24.720 The idea that, you know, certain crimes are hate crimes. 0.64

00:18:28.520 So presumably other crimes are love crimes.

00:18:31.080 I don't, I don't know about that.

00:18:32.300 Certain crimes are lukewarm crimes, maybe.

00:18:34.820 But the idea that you should receive a harsher sentence because of your motivations, that

00:18:39.060 somehow the jury will be able to discern with specificity all of your motivations and then

00:18:45.120 be able to meet out a just punishment based on that.

00:18:47.380 Well, you're not hearing about any of that.

00:18:50.800 It's going to be swept under the rug.

00:18:53.980 Was it racist?

00:18:55.240 I don't know.

00:18:56.300 Maybe. 0.96

00:18:57.680 Certainly psychopathic.

00:19:00.880 Why these two teenagers are going to be permitted into society ever again is beyond me.

00:19:08.480 But that's the society that we live in.

00:19:11.560 Here's another story.

00:19:12.180 This one came out of the Tennessean.

00:19:14.620 You know now I am a Tennessean here in Nashville.

00:19:17.600 So I saw this story.

00:19:19.980 Mom says woman killed in police shootout had troubled childhood.

00:19:25.020 No opportunity for change now.

00:19:29.120 Okay.

00:19:30.240 Okay.

00:19:30.820 I'm not, notice here in this headline, I'm not getting any details about what actually happened.

00:19:35.680 Here's what I know from the headline.

00:19:36.960 The police killed this woman and she had a hard childhood.

00:19:41.400 Okay.

00:19:42.000 Now, because I'm seeing all these excuses in the headline, I'm going into this and I'm

00:19:45.180 thinking this woman must have done something really bad because if you're loading up all 0.63

00:19:51.140 the excuses and clouding up all the details in the headline, you know, this is what, whatever

00:19:56.240 this woman did is really bad. 1.00

00:19:57.900 It turns out I was right.

00:19:59.400 The mother of a 31 year old woman who died Friday after an exchange of gunfire, doesn't

00:20:05.320 say who shot first, doesn't say who pulled the gun first, an exchange of gunfire with a

00:20:09.220 Nashville police officer says her daughter was wrong for pulling a gun. 0.64

00:20:14.820 Oh, oh, you don't say pulling a gun on the cop.

00:20:17.800 Well, maybe the cop was shooting at her first.

00:20:19.620 You think that was that?

00:20:21.080 Nobody thinks that's what happened, but still in the story, it's still possible that that's

00:20:25.560 what happened.

00:20:25.880 But Lisa Holbert Gooch, who took in her niece, Nika Holbert at age eight and adopted the girl 0.97

00:20:32.400 and her younger siblings said she is disturbed by the actions of the Metro Nashville police

00:20:37.020 officer who stopped Holbert.

00:20:39.240 Okay.

00:20:39.860 Well, what, what she just, she's saying, okay, yeah, the girl shouldn't have pulled a gun 1.00

00:20:43.640 and tried to shoot cops, but you know, they kind of had it coming because they had some

00:20:48.320 very disturbing actions.

00:20:50.180 Okay.

00:20:50.360 What were those actions?

00:20:51.820 Gooch questions whether officer Josh Baker followed basic traffic stop safety protocols

00:20:56.380 leading up to the deadly shooting.

00:20:58.160 While police chief John Drake said Saturday, he believes Baker handled the situation property.

00:21:02.480 She didn't have to die and he didn't have to get shot.

00:21:05.160 Gooch said in an interview, as she watched video of the deadly incident recorded on Baker's

00:21:09.460 body camera, Gooch said she was concerned for both the officer and her daughter as she saw

00:21:14.560 Holbert exiting the vehicle at the start of the traffic stop.

00:21:17.200 So, okay, now that we're saying that the problem here is that the, not that the cop did anything

00:21:23.100 wrong, but that the woman, when she was pulled over at the traffic stop, got out of her car.

00:21:28.440 Why was she out of her car?

00:21:30.160 Gooch said, I don't know.

00:21:31.300 That's a question for her.

00:21:32.220 That's not a question for the cops.

00:21:33.580 Explaining she's always understood that police don't typically allow someone to exit the

00:21:37.060 car as an officer approaches.

00:21:38.760 Holbert fled a parking lot Friday morning at the intersection of Bridge Church Pike and Ewing

00:21:42.880 Drive after shooting Baker in the torso.

00:21:45.020 Having sustained injuries from the gunfire, Holbert crashed roughly a block away before

00:21:50.240 being pronounced dead.

00:21:51.400 So, they watch the footage and then they talk more about this, the life, you know, and the

00:21:57.840 mother and this sort of how terrible it all is and how unfortunate it all is.

00:22:03.520 Gooch said she was stunned to see Baker searching Holbert's belongings without appearing to take

00:22:08.800 precautions to remain in control of the situation.

00:22:13.020 And after he determined she was not the man Baker was seeking in the first place.

00:22:17.800 Now, what was happening here?

00:22:19.940 This woman was driving a car that belonged to a man with outstanding arrest warrants on 0.91

00:22:24.200 felony drug charges.

00:22:25.440 So, the guy pulls her over.

00:22:28.360 Apparently, Holbert, this is in the article, Holbert repeatedly ignored some of Baker's commands

00:22:33.300 as he attempted to remain cordial with her.

00:22:35.160 The officer declined to stop her while she went back into the car multiple times to retrieve

00:22:38.760 various items.

00:22:39.980 It's like he let her do what she wanted to do, Gooch said.

00:22:45.440 The officer is now being accused of inappropriate behavior because he gave her the opportunity to

00:22:53.260 shoot him.

00:22:54.640 That's, that was the inappropriate, terrible thing for which this officer should be investigated 0.99

00:22:59.580 is he wasn't harsh enough with her.

00:23:03.540 Now, if he had been too harsh, there would be riots, right?

00:23:07.080 There would, if they were too harsh, you would have extortionist organizations like BLM coming

00:23:12.560 down and, and shaking down corporate America for tens of millions more in donations.

00:23:18.320 And you'd hear this, that he was a racist, but so he doesn't do that.

00:23:21.740 He's actually too lenient.

00:23:23.120 And now, this woman and the newspaper are accusing him of inappropriate behavior because

00:23:30.400 he was too lenient.

00:23:31.760 Why'd you let her shoot you? 0.73

00:23:33.980 How, how wrong of you to let her shoot you?

00:23:37.300 If the races were reversed, the story would not read that way.

00:23:43.560 That is an institutional sort of racism.

00:23:46.440 That is the sort of thing we see in our media.

00:23:50.140 And it is simply why when you hear these claims from these hucksters, people like Robin DiAngelo,

00:23:57.160 who is making untold sums of money as a race hustler, people like Ibram Kendi, when you hear

00:24:03.460 them talk about institutional racism, you want to say, yes, there is, there are institutional

00:24:08.460 racial problems.

00:24:09.900 No question.

00:24:11.060 There is affirmative action, right?

00:24:12.260 Which disadvantages certain people based on their race and gives advantages to other

00:24:16.520 people solely based on their race.

00:24:19.460 And there are, I mean, even beyond that, there are racial issues in the country.

00:24:23.720 No question about it.

00:24:24.780 Racial issues that are being inflamed by people such as DiAngelo and Kendi and by the mainstream

00:24:32.300 media, which never, ever plays fair.

00:24:35.940 But it's because in this country, the absolute worst thing you can be called is a racist.

00:24:41.360 It's, it's why the whole institutional racism thing is so important to the left.

00:24:47.700 It's why they're trying to push this indoctrination.

00:24:49.260 It's the worst thing you can possibly be called in this country.

00:24:52.280 I think that's an evidence, by the way, that it's not a white supremacist country, right?

00:24:55.920 Is that the worst thing you could be called as a white supremacist.

00:24:59.020 So it's, and the, the only race that you're allowed to smear in public that you're actually

00:25:03.280 encouraged to are white people and specifically white guys, right?

00:25:07.060 That's why there's no patriarchy. 0.99

00:25:08.080 The only group that you're able to smear is dudes.

00:25:11.480 So you've got all of this built in and it, it bleeds into other areas of public policy

00:25:17.840 as well.

00:25:18.920 Speaking of law enforcement challenges, we now have a record number of migrant kids in 1.00

00:25:23.440 custody at the Southern border.

00:25:25.540 Remember, Biden said that if you voted for Trump, we're going to get all these extra kids

00:25:31.960 in cages.

00:25:32.560 Well, that was true.

00:25:33.120 I voted for Trump and we have more kids in cages, 300% higher than previously known at

00:25:37.900 the Southern border.

00:25:38.880 But because of our bizarre racial ideology that the left is pushing, we can't actually deal

00:25:45.880 with this problem.

00:25:47.080 And it's, it's harming the people at the border.

00:25:50.020 It's harming those kids.

00:25:50.800 And it's also harming our country.

00:25:54.120 Speaking of difficult challenges and interesting fights to watch, Cardi B is slandering Candace's

00:26:02.400 family, Candace Owens.

00:26:04.000 Candace is really, really taking it in stride and really wrecking poor old Cardi B. 1.00

00:27:00.080 We'll be right back with a lot more.

00:27:01.180 CBS News reporting that over 13,000 unaccompanied minors are being held in U.S. custody for an

00:27:19.600 average of 120 hours, which is much longer than the 72 hours permitted by law.

00:27:24.900 More migrants are attempting to cross into the U.S. now than at any time in the past 20 years.

00:27:30.980 This according to the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.

00:27:36.620 Worse than it's ever been on every single front.

00:27:40.800 Whose fault is it, Jen Psaki?

00:27:42.260 Why, it's obvious.

00:27:43.440 It's Trump's fault.

00:27:44.340 There were lawyers who interviewed some children that were in facilities.

00:27:48.840 The children described sleeping on the floor, being hungry, not seeing the sun for days.

00:27:54.700 How is that acceptable for the Biden administration to keep children in those sorts of conditions,

00:27:59.400 given the fact that she said you weren't in the administration that was going to be more humane

00:28:02.840 than the previous one?

00:28:04.240 Well, let me first say this is heartbreaking.

00:28:08.060 It's a very emotional issue for a lot of people.

00:28:10.760 And it's very difficult and challenging.

00:28:13.800 And obviously, these TBP facilities are not made for kids.

00:28:17.540 So one of the reasons or a driving reason why the president has pushed to take all of the

00:28:23.740 actions that I outlined earlier when Phil asked the question is because we want to expedite

00:28:28.640 getting these kids out of these CBP facilities as quickly as possible.

00:28:33.780 And that's our goal and our objective.

00:28:35.820 And into shelters as quickly as possible.

00:28:37.640 Then into sponsored homes while their cases are being considered and adjudicated.

00:28:41.860 Uh, we are trying to work through what was a dismantled and unprepared system because of

00:28:47.960 the, the, the role of the last administration.

00:28:51.920 Hold on.

00:28:52.760 We're trying to work through what was a dismantled and unprepared system.

00:28:55.760 I thought that the criticism of the past administration was that they were too good at putting kids

00:29:02.120 in cages.

00:29:03.200 I thought the problem was that the system of border security under Trump was too good, right?

00:29:08.760 That it was so inhumane because they were just nabbing all these kids and they weren't letting

00:29:13.260 them go into the country.

00:29:14.840 They were grabbing them and imprisoning them in cages.

00:29:17.740 Remember cages that coincidentally the Obama Biden administration built.

00:29:22.360 Now you're telling me that the system wasn't good enough.

00:29:25.860 So it was a lax immigration system.

00:29:28.500 Which is it?

00:29:29.880 Doesn't matter to them.

00:29:31.620 It doesn't matter which it is.

00:29:32.700 They're going to attack Trump for opposite reasons.

00:29:35.920 Just like we were talking about it at the top of the show.

00:29:38.760 You, you see the left levying attacks on the West generally and the church specifically

00:29:44.000 for opposite reasons because they just don't care.

00:29:47.440 The arguments aren't the point.

00:29:49.440 The consequence, the effect, the attack is the point in itself.

00:29:53.860 So Jen Psaki blaming Trump, whoopsie daisy. 0.99

00:29:56.460 The, the real fault here of course is lays with the Biden administration.

00:30:00.600 You can't blame Trump anymore.

00:30:01.940 We're now several months in to the Biden administration.

00:30:04.860 And by the way, the original policy, Joe Biden bears a fair amount of responsibility for anyway.

00:30:10.480 The reporter to her credit pushes back.

00:30:12.600 I understand the idea of these facilities not being designed by children, but children

00:30:16.920 being hungry, sleeping on the floor, not being allowed outside for days at a time.

00:30:21.320 Why is that acceptable to go on even for one more day?

00:30:23.800 Why is that something that's not being outlawed right now?

00:30:26.180 How is the administration not stopping that today?

00:30:28.420 Well, Yamisha, it's not acceptable, but I think the challenge here is that there are only,

00:30:33.460 there are not that many options.

00:30:35.960 Oh, you don't say, you don't say Jen Psaki.

00:30:40.700 There are not that many options because I remember I'm thinking way back in the Trump administration.

00:30:47.980 A lot of people come to the border.

00:30:52.660 We then have to figure out what to deal with them.

00:30:55.360 What the left wanted, what they were encouraging Trump to do was just let everybody in, but the law won't let you do that.

00:31:00.920 Even if Trump wanted to, and it would be a bad idea to do that, but the law won't let you do it.

00:31:04.840 Now, these kids are often with people who are posing as their relatives, but who often aren't their relatives.

00:31:11.360 They can be coyotes, they can be just sort of random people mashed together because they know that the immigration system goes easier on people who have children with them.

00:31:21.400 So, just as the Biden administration is doing, you have to vet who are these adults who are with the minors.

00:31:28.800 Now, the adults go to facilities that are administered by the police, right, by CBP, by other agencies.

00:31:37.840 Otherwise, the children should not be going to the jails, right?

00:31:42.940 I think we all agree on the left, we don't want the children to be sitting in the jails.

00:31:46.720 So, the children would go to places administered by Health and Human Services, but that would require a separation.

00:31:52.960 And you need a separation anyway because you've got to vet who these people are because you don't know because they're entering your country illegally. 0.97

00:31:59.880 What are we going to do then?

00:32:01.140 We're going to send some people back, that's not acceptable.

00:32:03.340 We're going to let some people in the country, that's not acceptable either. 1.00

00:32:06.280 There aren't that many options.

00:32:08.940 So, now, not only has the Biden administration not made anything better, the Biden administration has made this situation much, much worse.

00:32:17.440 And what does Jen Psaki say?

00:32:18.840 She says, look, you know, it's hard.

00:32:20.460 It's tough.

00:32:22.240 And that ultimately, I think all of the Biden arguments come back to that.

00:32:26.800 He isn't doing anything more effectively or efficient than President Trump.

00:32:32.020 And he has different policy goals.

00:32:35.360 But even in some very basic instances where you have to have some kind of a border, he's not doing any of it better, but he's got better intentions.

00:32:43.440 Right.

00:32:43.640 That's what Jen Psaki was asked this a week or two ago.

00:32:46.820 She was asked, do you think that Biden has a messaging problem here down at the border?

00:32:50.820 She said, well, the past administration had a morality problem.

00:32:58.720 Okay.

00:32:59.580 But, you know, what about, like, what's actually happening?

00:33:02.700 Like, sure, I get that you feel like you're on the moral high ground and you can be very sanctimonious and you've got the purest of intentions.

00:33:10.800 But, lady, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

00:33:13.580 How come your policies in practice are so much worse?

00:33:18.440 Yeah, maybe they're worse in practice.

00:33:20.500 But in my intentions, they're really, really good.

00:33:22.720 So you've got to let us off the hook.

00:33:24.940 Not a lot of options.

00:33:26.540 I'm so glad that we can admit that.

00:33:28.260 I can't wait for the apology letters to file, flow in to President Trump down in Florida.

00:33:33.880 Speaking of options,

00:33:37.480 Elliot Page is an actress,

00:33:41.120 formerly known as Ellen Page.

00:33:42.540 I've never seen any of her movies.

00:33:45.500 Didn't really remember that she existed.

00:33:47.840 But then she got a whole bunch of publicity

00:33:49.520 because she decided that now she's a man

00:33:53.840 and her name is Elliot.

00:33:56.480 And she's now on the cover of Time Magazine. 0.69

00:34:00.880 Chalk another one up to the white supremacist patriarchy. 1.00

00:34:05.200 You had a lesbian woman who was getting roles in Hollywood, 1.00

00:34:10.160 who had gotten some attention.

00:34:12.120 And now, all of her roles, all of her attention,

00:34:16.500 going to a straight white man.

00:34:17.860 That's absolutely outrageous, isn't it?

00:34:21.360 She writes,

00:34:22.620 we know who we are.

00:34:24.720 People cling to these firm ideas about gender

00:34:27.460 because it makes people feel safe.

00:34:29.460 But if we could just celebrate all the wonderful complexities of people,

00:34:32.620 the world would be a much better place.

00:34:36.340 I agree with the back part of that.

00:34:39.160 If we could just celebrate all the wonderful complexities of people,

00:34:41.680 the world would be a much better place.

00:34:43.320 But people like Ellen Page, Elliot Page now,

00:34:46.920 and people who are pushing this transgender ideology,

00:34:50.800 refuse to deal in the complexities of people.

00:34:53.300 It is complex when a young boy

00:34:58.120 behaves in some ways that you might say are feminine. 0.98

00:35:02.700 That is a complexity of life.

00:35:04.320 It's a complexity that's always existed,

00:35:05.600 and it's true of just about everybody.

00:35:07.880 It is complex when a woman 1.00

00:35:10.080 has sexual desire for another woman. 0.83

00:35:13.200 That is a complex thing

00:35:14.240 because in the normal course of events,

00:35:15.900 a woman would have sexual desire for men. 1.00

00:35:18.880 But sometimes, because of the complexity of our world,

00:35:20.880 it's a little different.

00:35:21.500 It is a gross oversimplification of that complexity

00:35:26.540 to say that if the boy ever reaches for a pink t-shirt,

00:35:31.600 then he's really a girl. 0.99

00:35:33.520 And you've got to mutilate him and pump him full of hormones 1.00

00:35:36.180 and make him appear a little bit more like a girl.

00:35:40.360 That is not complicating our understanding of human nature.

00:35:43.920 It is simplifying it.

00:35:46.100 We know who we are, she says.

00:35:48.580 I don't think she does.

00:35:50.380 I don't think any of us do.

00:35:53.480 It comes back, though, to these heresies

00:35:55.680 that pervade modern life.

00:35:58.320 It actually comes back to the sin that caused the fall of man,

00:36:01.140 which is pride.

00:36:02.060 This idea that I know better than anybody else.

00:36:05.960 I know human nature better than Aristotle.

00:36:08.680 I know the relationship of the body to the soul

00:36:12.040 better than St. Thomas Aquinas.

00:36:13.520 I know the reality of sex better than every single person who lived before, like, 2004.

00:36:22.000 I know.

00:36:24.280 I know who I am.

00:36:25.420 And it comes back to this real error, which, unfortunately,

00:36:28.360 the reason I mention this here is because this is an error that pervades our politics.

00:36:31.780 This error that we own our bodies.

00:36:35.920 We don't own our bodies.

00:36:38.640 We did not create our bodies.

00:36:41.020 Our bodies are, to borrow a phrase from Rush Limbaugh,

00:36:44.380 on loan from God.

00:36:46.140 We don't decide when we come into this world,

00:36:50.000 and we're probably not going to decide how we go out of this world.

00:36:53.460 We are stewards of this free gift of creation.

00:36:58.660 We are stewards of ourselves.

00:37:01.500 We have been given this gift of ourself by God.

00:37:04.720 We have intellect, we have will, and we have obligations

00:37:07.340 to our creator.

00:37:10.360 Our, you don't have to go back to the Middle Ages, you know,

00:37:15.280 to see these kinds of ideas being understood in a widespread manner.

00:37:21.100 You see it in the Declaration of Independence.

00:37:23.760 Our creator endows us with certain unalienable rights,

00:37:28.100 and those are wonderful privileges.

00:37:30.240 And as part of that, there are certain obligations,

00:37:32.240 and we come together, and we form a polity for these purposes,

00:37:34.740 and we have duty to one another, and we sacrifice,

00:37:38.140 and we get these great privileges.

00:37:39.340 Hey, wonderful.

00:37:41.280 But what Elliot Page is now referring to,

00:37:44.420 I know who I am, I'm really a boy,

00:37:46.160 that is an ancient heresy.

00:37:47.920 It's called Gnostic dualism.

00:37:49.100 It's the idea that the body and the soul

00:37:51.400 have nothing to do with one another.

00:37:53.020 So my body, I look like,

00:37:55.000 Ellen Page looks exactly like a girl, 1.00

00:37:57.240 but deep down, somewhere in a non-physical space,

00:38:00.840 metaphysically, she knows that she's a boy,

00:38:03.480 and therefore she's now a boy.

00:38:06.120 What's so weird, though,

00:38:07.500 is while the left is pushing that heresy,

00:38:09.700 this idea that the physical has nothing to do with reality,

00:38:12.680 they're also pushing the opposite heresy,

00:38:15.260 materialism, the idea that we are nothing more than bags of meat

00:38:19.000 sort of walking around the streets,

00:38:20.660 and we are nothing more than the sum total of our desires,

00:38:23.140 and our desires are not rational.

00:38:24.660 They're just pistons firing in our brains,

00:38:26.400 so if it feels good, do it,

00:38:28.080 because there's no such thing as a moral order.

00:38:30.560 We're all just stuff, and we're going to die, 0.52

00:38:32.600 and we're going to turn to worm food 0.98

00:38:33.820 and take a dirt nap someday.

00:38:36.560 These are opposite heresies.

00:38:38.560 They are mutually exclusive.

00:38:40.520 The left pushes them at the same time

00:38:42.340 for the same reason that we've been talking about

00:38:44.240 from the top of the show,

00:38:45.260 because the arguments themselves do not matter to the left.

00:38:48.120 It's only the final goal,

00:38:49.680 which is the upending of society,

00:38:51.200 which until recently was grounded on the true understanding

00:38:55.440 of what human beings are,

00:38:56.740 which is body and soul,

00:38:59.320 inextricably linked in this world.

00:39:01.260 The technical term for it from old Uncle Aristotle

00:39:04.020 is hylomorphism.

00:39:06.420 There's this spiritual component to who we are,

00:39:09.200 this metaphysical component,

00:39:10.180 and there's also this physical component.

00:39:11.760 I do have a body.

00:39:12.620 I do live in space and time.

00:39:14.880 That is the only idea you're not allowed to hold,

00:39:17.640 according to the radical left these days,

00:39:20.440 because that's the only idea that's true.

00:39:25.580 Hal C, who I don't know who this is.

00:39:27.640 I think she's a YouTuber.

00:39:30.200 She is a pop singer.

00:39:32.620 I don't know.

00:39:33.360 She's someone who has a blue check mark 0.53

00:39:35.120 and is fairly prominent.

00:39:37.260 She is now changing her pronouns to she and they,

00:39:41.320 she slash they on social media bios.

00:39:44.240 And this is receiving a lot of praise.

00:39:45.960 I mentioned this one, not to talk about it too much,

00:39:47.960 only because we're now not only having,

00:39:53.380 you know, he identify as she,

00:39:55.820 we're also having objects identify as subjects.

00:40:00.580 Right?

00:40:01.140 In the actual language jargon,

00:40:05.060 we're having the accusative case

00:40:06.800 identify as the nominative case,

00:40:09.800 because you'd think if she's going to do,

00:40:12.600 okay, she's she,

00:40:13.760 that's like, okay, she does this.

00:40:15.260 It would be she and them, right?

00:40:18.600 Because it's she,

00:40:19.600 usually it would be she slash her. 1.00

00:40:22.660 But now it's she slash they. 0.98

00:40:25.480 So now even that last rule that,

00:40:27.620 you know, objects,

00:40:28.340 even that one's gone now.

00:40:29.820 Pretty soon the bios will just be blah, blah, blah.

00:40:32.660 Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:40:33.840 Because you can see it advancing in real time.

00:40:38.040 Words are losing their meaning,

00:40:39.980 which is ultimately the goal,

00:40:43.360 so that we can't reason.

00:40:46.420 Orwell writes about this beautifully in 1984.

00:40:48.720 He says that the Ingsoc regime,

00:40:50.640 the Big Brother regime,

00:40:51.880 thrives on all sorts of things,

00:40:54.080 you know, changing the language through newspeak

00:40:55.620 and the surveillance,

00:40:56.620 but especially through double think.

00:40:59.080 The idea that they will,

00:41:00.520 that the regime will force you to hold

00:41:01.920 mutually contradictory ideas in your head

00:41:04.320 at the same time.

00:41:05.160 So in your head,

00:41:07.160 you've got to hold the idea

00:41:08.220 that two plus two equals four

00:41:10.860 and two plus two equals five,

00:41:12.100 let's say,

00:41:12.500 just to pull an example out.

00:41:14.580 If you hold those ideas in your head

00:41:16.240 at the same time,

00:41:17.660 it makes you unable

00:41:19.340 and unwilling to think rationally.

00:41:22.200 If you have to hold the idea in your mind

00:41:23.820 that our true selves

00:41:25.520 have nothing to do with our bodies

00:41:26.780 and our true selves are just our bodies

00:41:29.280 and nothing more,

00:41:29.980 and you have to hold those,

00:41:30.840 your head at exactly the same time,

00:41:32.500 you can't think rationally.

00:41:35.160 And that is ultimately the goal

00:41:39.240 because what political correctness

00:41:42.240 or wokeism or cancel culture,

00:41:43.520 whatever you want to call these

00:41:44.120 left-wing ideologies

00:41:45.340 or left-wing instruments,

00:41:46.920 they are ultimately less about

00:41:49.340 the arguments they're making

00:41:51.420 than the imposition of the rules.

00:41:54.900 That's why the PC jargon changes all the time.

00:41:56.800 It doesn't really matter

00:41:57.300 what jargon you're using.

00:41:58.380 It's the imposition of it.

00:42:00.580 Can these ideologues

00:42:01.940 weaken your understanding of the world

00:42:04.760 so much

00:42:05.580 that you are vulnerable

00:42:07.080 for them to impose their will,

00:42:08.840 not their intellect,

00:42:09.640 not their arguments,

00:42:10.280 but their will on you.

00:42:13.900 Speaking of tyrants

00:42:15.280 imposing their will on you, 0.60

00:42:16.680 at least one of those tyrants

00:42:18.500 is about to face his comeuppance.

00:42:21.820 Gavin Newsom,

00:42:22.800 Mussolini,

00:42:23.680 governor of my erstwhile state,

00:42:25.720 California,

00:42:26.840 was just on The View.

00:42:29.680 Gavin Newsom is facing

00:42:30.840 a real recall challenge.

00:42:32.320 We've been reporting on this

00:42:33.200 every now and again,

00:42:34.040 you know,

00:42:34.880 he needed to get

00:42:35.420 one and a half million signatures,

00:42:36.920 or his opponents needed to get

00:42:38.060 one and a half million signatures

00:42:38.980 to recall him

00:42:39.880 and, you know,

00:42:41.620 force an election.

00:42:43.740 When he had 1.1 million,

00:42:45.200 I said,

00:42:45.420 maybe it'll happen.

00:42:46.160 They're going to invalidate

00:42:46.960 a lot of signatures.

00:42:47.720 Then we get to 1.5,

00:42:49.120 then two,

00:42:49.760 now it's over

00:42:50.440 two and a half million,

00:42:51.500 I believe.

00:42:52.880 He goes on The View

00:42:53.800 to try to burnish his PR

00:42:55.840 and his image.

00:42:57.820 Whoopi Goldberg

00:42:58.400 begins the questioning.

00:42:59.800 Now you're in the process

00:43:00.940 of being recalled

00:43:02.520 by constituents,

00:43:03.980 some constituents,

00:43:04.880 who say they have

00:43:05.940 more than two million signatures

00:43:07.480 to force a special election

00:43:09.260 against you.

00:43:09.920 Now Democrats,

00:43:10.800 including President Biden,

00:43:11.880 are standing by you.

00:43:13.500 I want to know,

00:43:14.960 as a former Californian person,

00:43:17.400 what is this really about?

00:43:19.160 Because I think you've done

00:43:20.360 a pretty damn good job

00:43:21.780 in this gigantic state

00:43:23.700 of keeping it together

00:43:25.540 in circumstances

00:43:27.040 where you didn't get

00:43:28.140 a lot of help.

00:43:28.800 So what is this really about

00:43:30.180 and are you concerned?

00:43:31.380 Hold on,

00:43:31.880 we've got to pause it there

00:43:32.540 before we get to his answer.

00:43:34.860 What?

00:43:36.040 What was that, Whoopi?

00:43:37.640 Were you,

00:43:38.140 have you,

00:43:38.860 I spent a lot of time

00:43:40.080 in California this past year

00:43:41.220 before I fled 1.00

00:43:41.960 because of the stupid policies 1.00

00:43:43.340 of that guy 1.00

00:43:44.220 in no small part.

00:43:46.860 He's one of the worst governors 0.87

00:43:48.800 in the country. 0.98

00:43:49.860 The only worst governor

00:43:50.800 would be Andy Cuomo

00:43:51.780 and that's not exactly

00:43:52.720 a high bar.

00:43:54.280 But Whoopi,

00:43:54.660 she sounds very convincing,

00:43:55.940 right?

00:43:56.120 She's just saying,

00:43:56.640 look,

00:43:56.820 you did a great job,

00:43:58.080 you know,

00:43:58.360 and you're so great,

00:43:59.540 Gavin Newsom.

00:44:00.680 Just,

00:44:01.140 just a reminder

00:44:01.760 that Whoopi Goldberg,

00:44:03.000 who I,

00:44:03.460 you know,

00:44:03.700 in terms of left-wingers,

00:44:04.660 I kind of like her.

00:44:05.900 She does this.

00:44:06.820 She just says things

00:44:07.880 that are manifestly not true,

00:44:09.340 but she says them

00:44:09.940 very confidently

00:44:10.720 and only occasionally

00:44:12.040 does she get called out for it.

00:44:13.260 She was saying this

00:44:13.980 not so long ago

00:44:14.900 when she was advocating

00:44:16.000 that Dr. Jill Biden,

00:44:18.420 who has an administrative doctorate

00:44:20.440 as a teacher,

00:44:22.580 should be the surgeon general.

00:44:23.620 I'm hoping Dr. Jill

00:44:25.620 becomes a surgeon general,

00:44:28.280 his wife.

00:44:29.200 Yeah,

00:44:29.800 Joe Biden.

00:44:30.300 Joe Biden's wife,

00:44:31.320 because she,

00:44:31.720 you know,

00:44:32.040 he would never do it,

00:44:33.140 but she,

00:44:33.440 yeah,

00:44:33.940 she's a hell of a doctor. 0.90

00:44:35.240 She's an amazing doctor.

00:44:36.520 I just like it.

00:44:37.180 She's a PhD.

00:44:38.080 Yeah.

00:44:38.380 I don't,

00:44:38.680 I don't know.

00:44:39.280 I could be wrong.

00:44:40.400 Yeah,

00:44:40.660 I think she's a teacher,

00:44:42.560 but,

00:44:43.220 you know.

00:44:44.280 But,

00:44:44.700 you know,

00:44:45.260 but,

00:44:46.160 yeah,

00:44:46.360 I mean,

00:44:46.480 she's a teacher.

00:44:47.040 It's also,

00:44:47.360 I don't think it's a PhD either.

00:44:48.400 I think it's this specific

00:44:49.980 sort of administrative doctorate,

00:44:52.540 which would,

00:44:54.320 I,

00:44:54.700 I don't know if that qualifies her

00:44:56.900 less or more to perform surgery,

00:44:58.240 but either way,

00:44:58.780 she's not qualified to do it. 1.00

00:45:00.040 But the way Whoopi does it,

00:45:01.700 see,

00:45:01.940 it's kind of convincing

00:45:02.680 because she doubles down. 1.00

00:45:03.580 She has no idea what she's talking about,

00:45:05.280 but she goes,

00:45:06.540 yeah,

00:45:06.700 I think she should be the surgeon general. 0.99

00:45:08.120 Woo.

00:45:08.420 And then all the people in the audience

00:45:09.620 at the view are like,

00:45:10.320 yeah,

00:45:10.700 she totally should.

00:45:12.080 Then,

00:45:12.320 I think it was a Joy Behar.

00:45:13.640 It's like,

00:45:14.240 Whoopi,

00:45:14.480 are you sure she's a,

00:45:16.180 oh yeah.

00:45:17.020 Oh,

00:45:17.280 she's a hell of a surgeon. 1.00

00:45:18.660 Oh my gosh.

00:45:19.440 She's a great,

00:45:20.080 she's a hell of a doctor. 0.90

00:45:21.220 Oh,

00:45:21.460 she's great.

00:45:22.660 Yeah.

00:45:24.260 Whoopi,

00:45:24.620 I think it,

00:45:25.520 I think she's a teacher.

00:45:27.540 Oh,

00:45:27.880 I could be wrong.

00:45:28.940 Well,

00:45:29.320 yeah,

00:45:29.480 you could be,

00:45:29.920 and you're wrong about Gavin Newsom too.

00:45:31.120 All of that a digression.

00:45:32.240 Gavin,

00:45:32.520 what's your answer?

00:45:34.040 Look,

00:45:34.440 I appreciate that.

00:45:35.680 As you noted correctly,

00:45:37.280 this is the sixth effort,

00:45:38.700 and I've only been in office 25 months.

00:45:41.300 Just in 25 months,

00:45:42.680 there's been six efforts

00:45:43.700 to put a recall

00:45:45.420 on the ballot

00:45:46.720 but this one appears

00:45:47.620 to have the requisite signatures.

00:45:49.340 This started before the pandemic.

00:45:51.580 If you look at the list of grievances

00:45:53.220 from the proponents of this campaign,

00:45:55.440 it goes to our values.

00:45:57.260 It's less about me.

00:45:58.660 It's more about California

00:45:59.980 and our values,

00:46:00.800 Democratic Party values,

00:46:02.460 issues related to the browning

00:46:04.240 of California,

00:46:05.040 immigration,

00:46:05.820 issues related to low carbon green growth,

00:46:08.580 our climate policies,

00:46:09.940 issues related to our advancement

00:46:11.780 to end the death penalty

00:46:14.700 or increase the minimum wage

00:46:16.260 or advance pay equity.

00:46:17.600 And so I say that quite literally.

00:46:20.180 That's what's at stake

00:46:21.420 in this election

00:46:22.800 and this recall.

00:46:23.800 Guys like me come and go.

00:46:25.100 At the end of the day,

00:46:25.980 these principles

00:46:26.720 are what we're fighting for.

00:46:28.040 I love that his defense is,

00:46:30.760 oh no, man,

00:46:31.220 they've been trying to recall me

00:46:32.220 from the beginning.

00:46:33.100 Oh yeah, man,

00:46:33.700 they've tried it like six times.

00:46:34.960 I'm such a bad governor.

00:46:36.700 They've been doing this for years.

00:46:38.500 The COVID didn't help,

00:46:39.480 you know.

00:46:40.560 But obviously,

00:46:42.440 sure,

00:46:42.720 he's a terrible governor anyway

00:46:44.000 and so they were trying

00:46:44.880 to recall him.

00:46:46.020 The campaign only took off

00:46:47.280 after COVID.

00:46:48.140 That is why people

00:46:49.300 who are not just Republicans,

00:46:50.800 Democrats,

00:46:51.200 and Independents too

00:46:51.780 are trying to recall him.

00:46:53.260 So what he's trying to do

00:46:53.920 is make this a referendum

00:46:54.720 on the Democratic Party agenda,

00:46:56.360 not on his gross incompetence.

00:46:59.400 And so he's saying,

00:47:00.460 look,

00:47:00.580 it's about the death penalty.

00:47:01.700 You know,

00:47:02.000 hey,

00:47:02.240 it's about browning California

00:47:05.020 just to making an explicit

00:47:06.180 racial play, right?

00:47:07.320 Yeah,

00:47:07.500 it's about all that.

00:47:08.280 So just,

00:47:08.740 you know,

00:47:08.860 vote for me.

00:47:09.440 He might hang on.

00:47:10.440 I mean,

00:47:10.640 he'll probably be recalled,

00:47:11.900 but he might keep his job

00:47:13.980 in the sense that

00:47:14.800 he is a crafty politician.

00:47:19.040 California is a blue state.

00:47:21.060 And I wouldn't count the guy out.

00:47:22.780 Yeah,

00:47:23.200 same thing with Cuomo.

00:47:24.800 Cuomo right now,

00:47:25.720 I've been saying it

00:47:26.280 from the beginning.

00:47:26.980 I said,

00:47:27.280 this guy,

00:47:27.800 it doesn't look good for him.

00:47:28.900 You know,

00:47:29.120 maybe he's out,

00:47:29.920 but,

00:47:30.200 but if anyone can hold on,

00:47:32.060 it's Andy Cuomo.

00:47:32.880 There's a Siena College poll

00:47:34.020 released on,

00:47:34.800 on Monday

00:47:35.560 saying that 35% of New Yorkers

00:47:38.260 want Andrew Cuomo to resign.

00:47:41.160 Just 35%.

00:47:42.960 Even after all this,

00:47:43.840 it's only 35%.

00:47:44.940 Most importantly here,

00:47:47.600 only 25% of self-identified Democrats

00:47:50.200 want Cuomo to resign.

00:47:53.020 Six in 10 Democrats

00:47:54.500 and half of all New Yorkers

00:47:56.000 think that Cuomo

00:47:56.580 should not resign.

00:47:57.720 And that's why Cuomo

00:47:58.380 is making this play.

00:47:59.380 He's saying,

00:47:59.840 I wasn't elected

00:48:00.420 by the politicians.

00:48:01.560 I was elected by you,

00:48:02.820 the people.

00:48:04.180 And that's why I,

00:48:05.320 it's not even like,

00:48:05.900 I'm just doing a generic New York.

00:48:07.180 The actual Cuomo accent

00:48:08.520 is more,

00:48:08.940 it's kind of like,

00:48:09.440 more like Al Pacino

00:48:10.940 in The Godfather 1.

00:48:12.020 It's a little bit higher,

00:48:13.540 a little softer,

00:48:14.920 but regardless of his,

00:48:17.240 the way he says it,

00:48:18.020 what he is saying is

00:48:19.380 that he's going to make

00:48:21.640 an appeal to the people,

00:48:22.420 not to the politicians.

00:48:23.400 And as I mentioned at the time

00:48:25.420 when everyone was laughing at him,

00:48:27.000 it's a good play.

00:48:28.640 In New York,

00:48:29.400 there is actually a chance

00:48:30.240 he might survive it.

00:48:31.460 A big day in New York

00:48:32.360 is St. Paddy's Day

00:48:33.340 because there are a lot

00:48:34.420 of Irish people in New York.

00:48:36.400 I actually,

00:48:37.540 despite my appearance,

00:48:38.520 am a quarter Irish.

00:48:40.480 I know I don't necessarily look at,

00:48:42.880 but I do identify that way though.

00:48:44.800 And I am actually a quarter Irish.

00:48:47.880 My culture is not your costume, folks.

00:48:50.440 When you go out

00:48:51.000 and get hammered today

00:48:51.860 and you throw on green,

00:48:53.140 you know,

00:48:53.540 green shirts and hats and stuff

00:48:55.320 and start punching each other

00:48:56.360 in the street

00:48:56.860 and just slamming beers

00:48:58.520 left and right,

00:48:59.420 I want you to know

00:48:59.980 my culture is not your costume.

00:49:03.380 Okay?

00:49:04.260 But I,

00:49:04.700 probably you're not going to hear

00:49:05.720 any complaints

00:49:06.600 about the cultural appropriation

00:49:07.940 of the Irish

00:49:08.460 because, of course,

00:49:10.140 it is a,

00:49:11.240 not just a double standard,

00:49:13.180 it's an absolutely

00:49:14.300 frivolous political strategy.

00:49:17.180 And maybe

00:49:17.820 when we notice that,

00:49:18.760 when we see everyone,

00:49:19.500 you know,

00:49:20.100 guzzling beer

00:49:20.920 and punching each other

00:49:21.740 today on St. Paddy's Day

00:49:22.680 and no one's going to talk

00:49:23.960 about cultural appropriation,

00:49:25.260 maybe we can realize

00:49:25.980 the rest of it is BS too.

00:49:27.260 It's just a weapon,

00:49:28.100 it's an instrument

00:49:28.640 to divide us

00:49:29.720 and I think

00:49:30.560 it would be worthwhile

00:49:32.040 if we could overcome

00:49:33.440 our fear

00:49:34.020 of being called racists

00:49:35.360 and thisist

00:49:35.960 and thatist

00:49:36.560 and stand up

00:49:38.180 against that kind of stuff

00:49:38.960 because it is

00:49:40.760 a vicious strategy,

00:49:42.060 it's anti-American,

00:49:43.060 but it's working.
