Summary
Ronnie Jackson, a former White House physician, is sounding the alarm on President Joe Biden s health. He tweets: I've seen what it takes physically and mentally to do the job. I can tell you right now that the way Biden is hiding from the public is a major red flag. Something's not right.

Former White House physician Ronnie Jackson is sounding the alarm on President Joe Biden's health.
00:00:45.940
I served as White House physician under three presidents.
00:00:48.880
I've seen what it takes physically and mentally to do the job.
00:00:51.980
I can tell you right now that the way Biden is hiding from the public is a major red flag.
00:00:59.980
But in fact, as far as the liberal establishment is concerned,
00:01:04.040
Joe Biden's decline is actually better than all right.
00:01:19.960
My favorite comment yesterday from Stefan Teisler or Teisler, who says,
00:01:25.820
My sincerest thanks to Harry's Razors for inspiring me to grow a beard.
1.00
00:01:30.100
Yes, I think Harry's is doing that for a lot of people.

Razor situation, you can check out yesterday's show.

00:02:47.900
Frankly, though, you're not going to want to return it.
00:02:59.120
We do not know what is going on with Joe Biden, and it's always a little irksome, I think,
00:03:05.480
when doctors diagnose patients from their armchairs rather than actually meeting with them.
00:03:12.160
And, you know, Ronnie Jackson is in politics too, so okay.
00:03:16.360
However, we don't need the former White House physician to tell us what we can all see plainly
00:03:26.680
He would appear to be obviously in decline, and for the liberal establishment, that's perfectly
00:03:35.700
My interest in the Joe Biden is falling apart story is, you know, not so much any personal
00:03:45.280
It's really what it means politically, which is that for a government, for a political party
00:03:52.560
that favors administrative rule, that favors rule by technocrats and bureaucrats and lab
0.51
00:03:59.800
coats like the exalted Dr. Fauci, it's actually a pretty helpful advantage to have a president
00:04:07.020
who is willing to defer to all of the experts and the technocrats.
00:04:11.640
This is something that the left has been pushing for now for over a hundred years, which is
00:04:16.860
taking political decisions away from the people and the people's representatives, members of
00:04:23.000
Congress, senators, even the president, taking those decisions away from them and the constitutional
00:04:33.480
So you had a ton of Democratic candidates, John Ossoff, now a senator in Georgia, and Joe Biden
00:04:41.040
himself saying, I believe we should follow the science.
00:04:50.460
So when you have the politicians just following blindly whatever the experts say to do, that
00:04:59.000
But what it gives the left is the end of debate, because if you have a robust system of constitutional
00:05:04.740
government where we're debating eternal questions and how we can pursue justice in the country
00:05:10.440
and, you know, what the ends of government are going to be when you have that system, then
00:05:16.440
But when you say, no, we're going to nix all of that, we're going to have scientific government
00:05:27.900
Dr. Fauci is allowed to contradict himself day by day and hour by hour.
00:05:33.080
But none of us can ever question the exalted Dr. Fauci at any given point in time, even
00:05:38.400
if we hold views that two days from now, Dr. Fauci is going to hold.
00:05:42.720
It is still not our right, according to the prevailing liberal orthodoxy, to question him.
00:05:49.780
Jen Psaki was asked about, about President Biden's fall.
00:05:56.120
Just checking on the president, he fell going up the steps to Air Force One on Friday.
00:06:16.880
There's, of course, a doctor who travels with the president, any president of the United
00:06:20.560
But I'm not aware of it needing actual extensive medical attention.
00:06:30.660
Well, I'm not trying to be, there's a doctor who travels with him.
00:06:33.920
He was walking around, as you all saw, by the end of the day.
00:06:36.440
So I'm just trying to be completely transparent.
00:06:39.220
He's absolutely fine, as he was on Friday, was this weekend.
00:06:44.880
Look, I'm just trying to be totally transparent, and that's why I'm going to refuse to answer
00:06:49.300
The tell here, of course, is that they say, did Biden see a doctor?
00:07:01.740
Oh, well, you know, there is a doctor that travels.
00:07:20.540
All steps are exactly as tricky as all the other steps, and they're tricky for different
00:07:26.620
And it is a perfectly legitimate question to know about the health of our president.
00:07:38.440
Joe Biden never needs to leave Camp David because the real people running our country
00:07:47.540
There was a video that was, it almost gave me a permanent cringe on my face.
00:07:53.700
You know when you're little and your mother says, don't cross your eyes or they're going
00:07:57.580
The cringe was, almost got permanently stuck to my face when I watched a video from the
00:08:03.340
Try Guys about their favorite man in the country.
00:08:06.580
Guys, he's like going to jump on in like one minute.
00:08:10.560
I have the participant window open and I get to allow him to enter?
00:08:14.400
It's weird, I'm going to be smiling because I'm just excited to see him.
00:08:46.360
Is that, that's the minute China sees that video, Xi Jinping should be like, you know,
00:08:52.100
now, now is the time launch, launch the tanks because America ain't putting up a fight anymore.
00:09:00.980
That is really, really embarrassing stuff though in defense of these guys, I guess it's a comedy
00:09:08.480
I think basically they're the voice of a generation and not only in the sort of less than masculine
00:09:15.640
mannerisms and, but also in the, in the worship of, of these technocrats.
00:09:21.720
I mean, it's not just the, the try guys, uh, Simon and Schuster is publishing a biography
00:09:33.840
There have been biographies written about less important people, but it's not, it's not an
00:09:42.140
Simon and Schuster is really releasing Dr. Fauci, how a boy from Brooklyn became America's
0.85
00:09:48.500
doctor by Kate Messner, illustrated by Alexandra Bay.
00:09:54.540
Most, uh, important biographies don't have illustrators to them, but a children's book
00:10:00.220
is the absolute perfect genre for a Dr. Fauci biography for two reasons.
00:10:07.740
One, Fauci's career would not stand up to the scrutiny of an adult biography.
00:10:13.480
Fauci's last year would not stand up to the scrutiny of an adult biography.
00:10:17.120
How many, how many things has Dr. Fauci gotten wrong just about this pandemic?
00:10:25.440
How many times has Dr. Fauci misled the people intentionally by his own admission during this
00:10:35.660
You remember early on, we don't even need to play the clips anymore.
00:10:41.980
Masks do not do anything other than step one or two droplets.
00:10:50.200
And then about five seconds later, he goes, of course you should wear a mask, but I told
00:10:57.940
He, uh, Rand Paul said that he issues a lot of noble lies, you know, that, that Fauci believes
00:11:07.620
And so he's going to tell you things that he knows are not true sometimes because that's
00:11:12.260
going to result in the behavior that he thinks broadly speaking would be better for society.
00:11:20.380
And so he, uh, you can't trust any particular thing that he says, but you have to trust his,
00:11:29.960
So you can craft that narrative and also because the left has a longstanding interest
00:11:36.300
in indoctrinating children into specifically here, the cult of public health administration
00:11:41.720
and more broadly into the cult of administrative government, where we give up our rights and
00:11:50.080
That's why they've taken such an interest in education.
00:11:52.360
I detail this in particular in my book, which is coming out soon, unless it gets canceled
00:11:56.980
first, speechless, controlling words, controlling minds available for pre-order.
00:12:00.520
Now the left knows that if you can get at, at the children early enough, it's much easier
00:12:10.380
And that's why you're now seeing all sorts of crazy left-wing theories, including this
00:12:14.840
new gender fad, not just in colleges, not just in high schools or middle schools, all
0.99
00:12:21.680
We've got some disturbing updates on that coming, coming later on.
00:12:28.960
So we think of, you know, this is Trump versus Biden.
00:12:33.060
It's, it was Trump versus the liberal establishment, which includes all the bureaucrats and the schools
00:12:40.100
and big tech and corporate America, which is buying into this in many ways, even worse
00:12:45.580
It's, it's really not a battle between these two men or even two ideologies exactly, or two,
00:12:53.060
It's a battle between two very different visions of American government.
00:12:59.780
There's some fighting on the right right now too, about exactly what vision are we crafting,
00:13:05.860
And so the, the play here for the Dr. Fauci kid biographies is to indoctrinate students,
00:13:13.080
not into one particular candidate over another, but into a vision of American government that
00:13:17.840
is at odds with the traditional conservative vision.
00:13:23.220
You know, I, I would put my money on the left being very effective in these campaigns.
00:13:26.920
And when I am putting my money on stuff, I head on over to my bookie.

So you've got this giant liberal establishment that is really, they've gained a lot of power
00:14:43.320
by taking positions of, of influence. And now they're exerting that influence. Who can
00:14:47.620
Republicans put up against that establishment? President Trump is a good person to ask about
00:14:52.900
this. President Trump appeared on my friend, Lisa Booth show. It's called the truth with Lisa
00:14:57.420
Booth. What a great title. And he was asked about the future of the GOP. President Trump had
00:15:03.220
a very, very interesting answer. Ron DeSantis is doing a really good job in Florida. And
00:15:09.060
I think Josh Hawley has shown some real courage in going after big tech. You know, they go after
00:15:16.020
him. Josh is terrific. And you know, somebody that's been really terrific is Ted Cruz over the
00:15:21.440
last, you know, he, he and I had it out for a while. Actually, we were very close even during the
00:15:27.040
campaign. And then it got nasty. The press would say, when's the nasty it's going to start? I said,
00:15:31.620
don't worry, it'll start. And then it got very, very, you know, rather violent and vicious.
00:15:37.000
But then it simmered down and he's been great. And Rand Paul has been great. A lot of people,
00:15:45.080
I mean, really a lot of people have been terrific. Sarah Huckabee is going to do great in Arkansas.
00:15:52.280
Notice in his answer, he's, he's not saying, yeah, there are some Republicans, but you know,
00:15:57.320
really me, I'm the future of the GOP. He is actually giving credit to allies of his and
00:16:05.860
former opponents of his. His compliment of Cruz here, I think is really telling because if Trump
00:16:13.000
did not have to compliment Cruz, I don't know that he would. As he says, they had a very tough
00:16:18.040
primary battle in 2016, but he's saying, no, I think he's, he's actually just calling it like he's
00:16:23.240
easy. He's saying, yeah, Ron DeSantis, he's doing good stuff in Florida and Hawley is doing some pretty
00:16:27.360
good stuff in the Senate and Cruz is doing, doing really great stuff. And he, he's giving the
00:16:32.860
spotlight over a little bit to Republicans that he sees as being in the mold of, of where he thinks
00:16:39.860
the Republican party should go. And in that MAGA movement that reinvigorated so, so many Republicans
00:16:46.260
and even brought over a lot of people who previously would not have called themselves Republicans.
00:16:50.600
So is Trump going to run in 2024? That's the question. He's being really nice to these people
00:16:55.680
now. So it seems maybe he's actually going to help them out, but, but ultimately he's going to
00:17:00.760
have to make this decision. Is he going to seek reelection? Trump gives some hints here that he may
00:17:06.180
not. If you don't end up running in 2024, which I know a lot of people want you to, we all want you
00:17:11.800
to, you know, if it's not you, who is it? So some of the names, I guess I just mentioned, uh,
00:17:16.500
perhaps, and, uh, and others and others, I mean, you know, there's a, there's a pretty deep bench.
00:17:22.740
Uh, we'll get them. I'll make that decision sometime later, but, but there's a pretty
00:17:26.560
deep bench. If you look at the polls, uh, but they love the job that I've done. We had a 97%
00:17:32.500
approval, the CPAC, a 97% approval on policies and different things. So he's leaving the door open
00:17:39.800
here, but that's a giant statement for president Trump to say, yeah, the Republicans have a very
00:17:47.080
deep bench. If president Trump were trying to set himself up to run in 2024, he would seem to me would
00:17:54.960
say, yeah, they got nobody. I'm their only chance. They have nobody else could do the job that we did.
00:18:00.740
He gets in there. He says, look, I did a good job. People really like what I did, but he's going way
00:18:07.020
further than, than I can certainly than I would have ever imagined president Trump to go and way
00:18:11.760
further than a lot of Republicans would go if they were considering running saying there is a very deep
00:18:17.300
bench. He said, he's not saying a deep bench of bad candidates. He's saying a deep bench of good
00:18:22.040
candidates like DeSantis, like Cruz, like Hawley. I don't know if Hollywood, I guess he probably wants
00:18:29.140
to run for president. Certainly DeSantis and Cruz are in a, are in a pretty good position. I think
00:18:33.320
that's impressive stuff makes me think, you know, sort of sadly, I guess that president Trump may
00:18:40.020
not run, but he obviously still wants to be a player. He wants to direct the party, wants to
00:18:43.800
direct the conservative movement. Speaking of deep benches, we now have a very, very deep bench of
00:18:50.300
people who want to enter our country illegally. And they're all lining up at the border in record
0.96
00:18:55.820
numbers and criminals are making an absolute fortune off of them. Traffickers are bringing in,
00:19:03.200
men, women, and children across the border. It is now being reported that, that these traffickers
00:19:09.480
are making $14 million a day. Actually, they were making $14 million a day in February and the
00:19:19.600
situation has only gotten worse. So they're very likely making even more money than that. Former
00:19:25.300
Tucson border patrol chief Roy Villarreal is pointing out, he just recently gave an interview,
00:19:32.540
he pointed out. Trafficking is a multi-billion dollar industry, billion with a B, and it's,
0.82
00:19:38.900
it's not letting up anytime soon. Someone that's paid up front out of life savings. Someone that is
00:19:44.040
paid once they arrive in the United States and essentially they're indentured servitudes and
00:19:49.040
they're working off this debt for prolonged periods of times. So I mentioned his description here,
00:19:55.180
just very brief description that these people, they save up, it's their life savings. They give it to
00:19:58.960
these terrible criminals. The criminals will send them through. I just recently, I was in DC last
00:20:04.980
night. We did an interview with Senator Cruz on verdict where he was describing some of,
00:20:09.300
some of the violent, vicious tactics, the child abuse that these, these traffickers commit.
00:20:16.080
I mean, really heinous stuff. You can listen to the episode for, I won't, I won't get into it here.
00:20:20.080
Uh, and, and they do it to extort more money out of these desperate people. That is a situation that
00:20:27.840
is being encouraged by Joe Biden. It's a situation being encouraged by the Democrats because the
00:20:33.460
Democrats know that the more people that they can cram into this country illegally, the better chance
0.99
00:20:38.480
they have of winning elections because down the line, either through amnesty or through the birthright
00:20:43.320
citizenship of their children, statistically, they're very likely to get more voters that way.
00:20:48.420
And if HR one, which Scott Walker calls the crooked politicians act, if that is pushed through the
00:20:55.980
house and Senate, then, uh, you could have millions of illegal voters voting even before the amnesty.
00:21:01.900
Uh, that's what they're willing to do to, to encourage this horrific system.
00:21:08.280
All, all of which now is, is giving more and more power to some of the worst criminal elements in
00:21:14.860
society. Somehow though, I'm sure this will be blamed on white supremacy. You know, it has to
00:21:20.020
be blamed on white supremacy because everything is blamed on white supremacy these days. Uh, the,
00:21:25.820
the, that horrible shooting in Atlanta at the massage parlor, uh, that was blamed on white supremacy.
00:21:30.820
The anti-Asian attacks more broadly being blamed on white supremacy. There was some hit piece about me.
00:21:37.220
There's always some hit piece about me, but from one of the media matters or one of, one of the
00:21:41.280
leftist, uh, attack groups saying that if you ever make a joke, any kind of joke about the Wu flu,
00:21:48.440
you know, you call it Kung Flui or Lung Pao Sicken or, or, uh, any of those sorts of chop flui was the
0.82
00:21:53.820
one or, uh, you know, any of the other, uh, I'm sorry that many of the very funny terms are escaping my,
00:21:59.300
my memory right now, uh, but that that is perpetuating anti white or anti-Asian bigotry and white
00:22:05.320
supremacy. And the thing is the numbers just, just don't show that. Uh, Ryan Jerdusky has a great,
00:22:13.720
great piece on this in the Washington Examiner. According to the Justice Department, uh, 27.5%
00:22:20.280
of all violent crimes against Asian Americans in 2018 were committed, not by white people. They
00:22:26.340
were committed by black people over 50,000 incidents in a single year, uh, and a disproportionate
00:22:32.800
to the percentage of, uh, uh, black people in the country. White criminals and Asian criminals each
0.99
00:22:39.120
accounted for 24.1% of all attacks on Asians that year. Uh, and, uh, so therefore Asian attackers
0.99
00:22:48.040
and white attackers are underrepresented in a violent crime, uh, relative to the, their proportion of the
00:22:55.860
population. In 2019, Asians made up 6.2% of the population, but commit, uh, committed just 1%
00:23:02.480
of the violent crime and, uh, white people, 62% of the population, but commit 50% of violent crime.
00:23:08.720
So it's, it's not to say that there's any, any one group is committing all the violent crime against
00:23:12.900
Asians. But when you're talking specifically about this issue of anti-Asian crime, it is very clear
00:23:18.300
the issue ain't white supremacy. And, and the, the idea of white supremacy is being pushed, uh,
00:23:24.660
simply to have a, uh, a scapegoat, simply to have an explanation that would jive with political
00:23:30.000
correctness, even though it has nothing to do with it. There was a gal who took to TikTok as all of
00:23:35.340
our brilliant philosophers do these days. And, uh, she, she made this point that I'm, I am sure is
00:23:41.120
being taught in corporate America and the schools, which is that even non-white people, when they
0.98
00:23:46.980
commit crimes can be doing so because of whiteness. Just a reminder that whiteness can still be the
0.83
00:23:53.260
culprit, even if a hate crime is committed by another minority. White supremacy has many
00:23:59.180
mouthpieces. Don't underestimate that. White supremacy has many mouthpieces, including all
00:24:04.320
the racial minorities attacking other racial minorities because they don't realize that deep
00:24:12.480
secretly their motivation is their, how white they are underneath their actual race and motivations
00:24:20.180
or something like that. Uh, doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but it's just the end of argument,
00:24:26.400
right? There, that gal is, is not making an argument and I don't blame her. I'm sure she was
00:24:30.440
indoctrinated into this, uh, through much of our culture. This idea that no matter what the facts are,
00:24:38.460
you have to blame whiteness or the patriarchy and it's unfalsifiable. And there is no debate because
00:24:47.360
there is no, there is not one piece of evidence that you could ever present to someone espousing
00:24:52.520
that argument that would change their mind about it. The argument that whiteness and patriarchy or
00:24:59.340
whatever the cause of all the problems, that is not the conclusion of people who have been thinking
00:25:04.140
about this issue. That's the premise. That's, that's the hammer. And therefore every other problem
00:25:11.420
in society looks a whole lot like a nail. Speaking of weapons, uh, you should check out Ben talking
00:25:19.680
about gun control, uh, today. He'll be talking about calls for, for gun control, a mass shoot,
00:25:25.060

00:26:34.380
The Biden administration is trying to downplay the crisis at the border at which many members of
00:26:42.880
that administration spent years haranguing Trump for. Now they called Trump's policies human rights
00:26:48.520
violations, all that sort of thing. And then what does Biden do? He actually makes those policies
00:26:53.640
much, much worse and broadens them out to a much, much wider scale. So the only way that they can get
00:27:00.080
around this is by using euphemisms. They're trying to redefine reality by redefining the words. That's
00:27:06.660
why when Jen Psaki slipped up the other day and called this a crisis, it was a big problem. Jen Psaki
1.00
00:27:12.580
is trying to refer to this in the most measured terms she can. She's saying that there are children
00:27:16.900
presenting at the border. Now that the public is seeing some of the images because the congressional
00:27:24.020
delegation provided some photos and descriptions about what they witnessed. Children who are
00:27:30.360
frightened and crying, overcrowded conditions. Now that the public has seen that, is that not
00:27:36.560
a crisis? And what conditions or situation, what metrics would have to be in place for the
00:27:43.520
administration to call it that? Well, children presenting at our border who are fleeing violence,
00:27:50.860
who are fleeing prosecution, who are fleeing terrible situations, is not a crisis.
00:27:57.000
Okay, hold on. The verb presenting here is pretty strange. What does that mean? They're
00:28:04.440
presenting at the border? No, they're being smuggled across the border by vicious criminals that the
00:28:11.340
Biden administration is empowering, and they're often being abused along the way. But fine, let's
00:28:17.200
mealy mouth language aside, she's saying, that is a very sad, terrible, awful thing.
00:28:25.340
And therefore, it's not a crisis. First of all, where did I hear that this was a crisis? Jen,
00:28:30.520
can you remind me where I heard that this might be a crisis at the border?
00:28:33.700
There have been expectations set outside of, unrelated to any vaccine doses or request for them,
00:28:40.840
that they would be partners in dealing with the crisis on the border.
00:28:43.920
Oh, right. It was Jen Psaki. We got to circle back to what Jen said yesterday because she admitted
0.60
00:28:51.940
that it was a crisis. Now she realized, oh, I can't admit that it's a crisis because that really
00:28:55.580
makes us look bad. So I'm going to say, hey, you know, if something's really sad, then that's not a
00:29:01.420
crisis. It doesn't make any sense. Would you say this? Let's say there was some genocide.
00:29:06.260
You say that, how dare you call the genocide a crisis? It's a very sad thing and it's a
00:29:14.180
humanitarian issue. Yeah, well, I guess that's all true. It's also a crisis. One does not negate
00:29:20.980
the other, but they're not making arguments. It's like the TikTok girl. That TikTok girl talking about
00:29:29.380
whiteness is going to be a spokesman for the Democratic Party soon enough or somebody espousing
00:29:34.480
the same ideas because they're not making arguments. They're just redefining words or,
00:29:41.760
and I'm sorry, they're not mutually exclusive, presuming their own conclusions, right? This is,
00:29:48.720
this is what begging the question means. It's when you assume as a, as the starting point,
00:29:53.440
the conclusion of your own argument. So when people say, hold on, you know,
00:29:57.940
disproportionately these crimes against Asian people are not being committed by white people,
00:30:02.260
but you're blaming it on white supremacy. So therefore you have to be wrong about that. If,
00:30:08.360
if disproportionately the people attacking Asians are not white people, then it, it follows that
00:30:14.620
white supremacy can't be the root cause here. And what that TikTok gal said is, it is. Yeah,
00:30:22.240
it, people, maybe they don't know it, but deep down, deep, deep down, it always, it always
00:30:27.880
is white supremacy. That's not an argument. That's just, it's like a cudgel. That's just,
00:30:34.760
just like a robot could say that just on and on and on. You would, you could never make any sense
00:30:39.440
of it because they are going to cling to that, to that belief, regardless of the evidence. This sort
00:30:45.380
of thing is, is especially true in the area of, of sex. The way that the left is presuming their own
00:30:51.020
absolutely incoherent conclusions and they won't hear anything about it. There was a, a journalist,
00:30:56.640
Kate Sozin, who I had never heard of, but she came out and tweeted a couple of days ago. She said,
00:31:03.120
it is totally okay to have debate and disagree, but there you go. There's that, but that, but,
00:31:10.760
you know, that, but is going to negate whatever she just said. And it does. It's totally okay to have
00:31:15.520
debate and disagree, but folks in media, the term biological males is a serious anti-trans slur.
00:31:22.980
You should not use it without noting that. Biological males is an anti-trans slur.
00:31:32.740
This is what's happening. I think this is why, you know, Harry's Razors came out and publicly attacked
1.00
00:31:38.360
me and this show and our listeners by saying that if, if you question the current transgender
00:31:46.540
ideology, that you're a condemnable, inexcusable, these are views totally beyond the pale.
00:31:54.600
And I think the reason that so many people have reacted to that and why even we had to come out
00:32:00.440
and say, look, if you can cancel an ad campaign, it's fine. It doesn't bother us at all. But when you
00:32:04.940
come out and attack us for holding perfectly mainstream views and you attack our listeners,
00:32:11.700
then we have to speak up. And I think the reason people reacted so much, I, there were even some
00:32:15.700
people who wrote in and said, I don't even listen to Michael Knowles, but are you kidding me, folks?
00:32:19.520
We got, I got to cancel my subscription. It's because they see that the, the window of acceptable
00:32:26.000
speech is being shrunk down basically to nothing. Where now, if you use the phrase biological male,
00:32:32.480
you're going to be accused of bigotry. I actually, in a way, agree with this woman's advice to not
00:32:42.100
use the phrase biological male, but I agree obviously for very different reasons. I don't
0.99
00:32:45.960
like it when conservatives use the phrase biological male. I think it's giving away the whole debate
00:32:50.220
to the left. I think it is a way of, of ceding ground to the politically correct radicals. And I
00:32:56.500
think conservatives have done that for a, for a very long time, often for fine motives or maybe
00:33:01.040
because they're being clever in their arguments. But ultimately the effect of that, as I detail in
00:33:05.800
Speechless in my upcoming book, is that we just lose ground constantly. There, there is no biological
00:33:12.500
male as distinct from any other kind of male. There's boys and girls, men and women. When we say
00:33:20.420
there's a biological male, we're implying that someone can be a biological male, but psychologically
00:33:25.740
a woman. No, not possible. A biological male, but spiritually a woman. No, it's not possible.
0.95
00:33:32.680
There are ancient heresies that posit this understanding of human nature, but they're just
00:33:38.600
not true. There is, it is not possible that you're to, or it is not true rather that your body and your
00:33:46.920
soul or spirit or whatever you want to call it are totally separate. They're not. Human beings are a
00:33:53.920
unity of body and soul. The technical term for this is the, is hylomorphism. Okay. And it's,
00:34:00.180
it means we're not, when the libs say that we're just meat puppets, you know, we're all just matter
00:34:03.940
wherever all our hopes and dreams and loves are just, they're just kind of pistons, pistons firing
00:34:07.660
off. And it's really just a chemical illusion and delusion. They're wrong. And when people say that
00:34:13.940
our bodies have nothing to do with who we really are and that, you know, I can be a guy, but deep down
00:34:19.300
on some metaphysical level, I'm actually a woman. They're wrong too. The, the true view of human
00:34:25.240
nature is that we are body and soul inextricably linked here on earth. It's not bigoted to say that.
00:34:34.760
Aristotle is not a bigot. St. Thomas Aquinas, not a bigot. The, the greatest philosophers and people
00:34:41.780
who have thought about these questions, not bigots for saying that, and neither are you for saying it.
00:34:47.880
But this crazy ideology is really taking over. There is now a man who just won a woman's beauty
1.00
00:34:55.160
pageant, not just a biological male, a man, because that's what he is. Cataluna Enriquez made history by
00:35:05.400
becoming the first out transgender woman ever to win the Miss Silver State USA beauty pageant,
00:35:12.480
which is Nevada's largest preliminary competition. Chalk another one up to the patriarchy.
0.99
00:35:16.440
That guy beat all those ladies and took their crown and took their tiara.
0.65
00:35:23.100
That's progress for you folks. Now, because Mr. Enriquez won the beauty pageant, he will go on to
00:35:30.480
compete in the Miss Nevada USA pageant. If he wins that, he'll compete for Miss USA. And if he wins that,
00:35:35.920
he'll compete for Miss Universe. This is just wrong. It's, I don't know how else to put it.
00:35:43.520
I hope this guy has a good life. I hope he figures out the problems that are, are plaguing
00:35:50.180
him. But the solution to his problems is not to pretend that human nature is other than it is.
00:35:58.040
And the solution to his problems is not to take tiaras away from women competing in beauty pageants.
00:36:03.860
And the solution to the problems of men who want to, who identify as women, who want to compete in
0.78
00:36:11.420
women's sports is not to take away the scholarships from the women and to take away the trophies from
0.99
00:36:16.120
the women. It's to tell the truth. The underlying premise here is that lies are compassionate and that
00:36:24.260
the truth is cruel. And if we, if we tell these men who think that they're women, there aren't very
00:36:29.100
many of them. And I think really it's just this ideology is being pushed more by cynical political
00:36:33.080
opportunists than by people who actually suffer from this themselves. But what they're saying is
00:36:38.060
if we tell these men the truth about their nature, then that will be an act of great cruelty.
00:36:45.880
And so we can't do that. And we need to totally reorder society and take things away from women
1.00
00:36:50.860
and pretend that the world is other than it is so that we can lie to these men because that will be
00:36:58.660
compassionate. Lies are not compassionate and the truth is not cruel. The truth will set you free.
00:37:03.680
This is now being pushed on children. There was, this is the most disturbing commercial I've ever
00:37:08.660
seen. I have a little series on my YouTube channel of woke commercials where we try to guess what product
00:37:14.980
the woke commercials are selling. This one I wouldn't, I wouldn't do as a separate woke commercial
00:37:19.840
breakout video. It's too disturbing for that, but we do have to cover it because the issue really
00:37:25.640
matters. This is a commercial from Pantene, the shampoo company, now defending, mainstreaming the
00:37:34.900
sexual abuse of children in a commercial in which two lesbian women dress a boy up, a little boy up
0.62
00:37:44.140
as a little girl and insist that the boy really is a girl. Take a listen.
00:37:49.840
So you've got this woman blow drying the little boy's now long hair. It's how you are seen.
00:38:01.100
Sawyer is an old soul. She is our spunky and creative kiddo. Sawyer also happens to be a transgender
00:38:11.820
girl. So says this woman. I remember the first time she was out in the community wearing the clothing
0.95
00:38:18.140
she wanted in her hair and she kind of was herself. And that was the first day where I saw her.
00:38:23.680
Pause it right there. Pause it right there. First of all, I don't know how these lesbian women came to
1.00
00:38:29.840
have custody of this girl. Something tells me they didn't make her the old fashioned way. I'm sorry.
00:38:34.460
See how confusing this is. I don't know how these lesbian women came to have custody of this boy that
1.00
00:38:40.960
they are now dressing up as a girl and insisting is a girl. And I am certain that they did not make
0.97
00:38:46.520
him the old fashioned way. This raises other political and social questions. But what this
00:38:53.820
woman just said is so awful. This woman said, yeah, I took my little boy out and dressed him up as a
00:38:59.380
girl. And, and, and that's when she was herself. When we pretended that the little boy was a little
00:39:07.960
girl, that's finally when she was herself. And then here's the kicker. And that was the first day
00:39:14.300
where I saw her, where I, so this woman is saying that this child, however, she came to be raising this
00:39:22.280
child. This woman didn't, didn't see the child when the little boy was still dressing like a little
0.96
00:39:29.840
boy. Only when the little boy allowed this woman to dress him up as a little girl, only then did this
00:39:37.740
woman see the child and accept the child. Keep going. She has always been super gender creative.
1.00
00:39:46.800
Pause. Gender creative. She has always been super gender creative. So obviously that's a term that
1.00
00:39:51.720
doesn't mean anything. Just, I suppose it could mean confused. But what do we mean always? From,
00:39:57.800
from the time that the little boy was a very little baby? When the little boy didn't have agency? When
00:40:03.480
the little boy was so suggestible to all the, all the influences around him? Was that him being gender
0.91
00:40:11.780
creative? Or was that these women with a very radical view of sexuality imposing that view on this
0.97
00:40:21.440
young boy? Keep going. It's been a big part of her transition. Once she told us that she identified
00:40:28.460
as a girl, she immediately wanted to grow her hair out. It made me feel good and confident and it made
0.95
00:40:35.740
my insides match my outsides. All right. I can't take any more. Pause it there. If you want to watch
00:40:42.100
the rest of the commercial, you can though. I wouldn't recommend it. So they've got this, this little boy
00:40:46.680
and they've put this little boy on camera and said, okay, that's what you're going to say. We've got
00:40:50.680
the whole studio set up here. Talk about how now your insides are matching your outsides.
00:40:56.140
Right? This is, this is not an organic moment. You don't set up a film shoot organically. That's
00:41:02.880
not how these things are edited or cut. This is a obvious, not just contrived in the sense that
00:41:06.800
parents and educators are contriving, you know, and indoctrinating views onto children,
00:41:13.020
but, but even the whole film set here. And what is so crazy, politically, the reason I mentioned
00:41:19.900
this is because it's all to sell shampoo. It's all to sell shampoo. If this is what capitalism is,
00:41:29.520
I'm out, I'm out, get me out of there. Okay. But of course this is not, frankly,
00:41:33.320
the word capitalism is kind of silly. So it's a word that was popularized by Karl Marx,
00:41:37.240
but I think this should show conservatives who are waking up to these questions now
00:41:42.000
that there are immoral things that can happen in the free marketplace, that free markets are
00:41:50.940
wonderful. I love free markets. Free markets are a means to an end, which is a good society,
00:41:56.740
right? That's what societies are always pursuing the good, human flourishing. And those markets can
00:42:01.740
be perverted and lead society down perverse ends. These women, what they are doing and how they are
1.00
00:42:06.840
abusing this child should be criminal. This should not be legal. They should be in prison for this in
00:42:11.720
a just society and, and Pantene Pro-V or whatever the, you know, whatever the product is should not
00:42:17.840
only be ashamed of itself, should not only be boycotted, this sort of thing should not be
00:42:21.780
permitted. I think a lot of conservatives are waking up now to say, oh, right. We, we love markets
00:42:27.860
in their proper place, but we need guardrails on society or the society that we talk about. Oh,
00:42:34.360
we love free markets. We love big businesses. It's going to eat itself. It's going to undermine
00:42:38.300
itself. Capitalism, corporate America is going to become the biggest vessel for radical wokeism,
00:42:45.560
radical leftism that is going to totally subvert the culture unless we conserve something beyond
00:42:51.540
low tax rates. Really, really spooky stuff. Speaking of weird sex stuff,
00:43:00.640
I have to get to the most important story of our, of our day. Teen Vogue. I have assiduously avoided
00:43:09.780
reading about the Teen Vogue saga, editors being fired and claims of racism and this-ism and that-ism,
00:43:18.580
but it actually shows us something about the cancel culture and these, these kind of drastically
00:43:25.620
political visions that the left and right are putting forward. So Alexei McCammond was ultimately
00:43:30.960
forced out over a series of anti-Asian tweets that she published almost 10 years ago when
00:43:40.640
McCammond was 17 years old. So now she's 26, 27 running Teen Vogue and these tweets come out of
00:43:51.260
some things she tweeted when she was a teenager and now she's losing her job because of that.
00:43:56.300
I don't know what the tweets were, if they were jokes or whatever. Certainly, I don't think that
00:44:00.960
adults should be going around, you know, flagellating themselves for things they did when they were
00:44:06.380
teens and frankly, even in their early 20s, you know, when people are young and doing stupid things.
00:44:10.040
I just don't think that a decade later that should, that should cost you your job.
00:44:14.920
But she left. She goes, my past tweets have overshadowed the work I've done to highlight the people and
00:44:19.360
issues that I care about, issues that Teen Vogue has worked tirelessly to share with the world.
00:44:24.160
And so Condé Nast and I have parted ways. That's the first part of the story. Then Christine Davitt,
00:44:30.300
who is Teen Vogue's social media manager, she was celebrating this. It seems that Davitt was one of
00:44:36.100
the forces sort of pushing this idea that the editor should resign. So Davitt is now in some hot water
00:44:43.840
of her own over tweets and social media posts. Davitt, who calls herself a, quote, queer, fat,
00:44:51.300
philipinks, femme in Brooklyn. I don't know. I know what like three of those words mean.
00:45:00.280
Brooklyn. I know what Brooklyn is. So that's how she describes herself in her Instagram bio.
00:45:05.220
She has some old posts up in which she used the N-word, the word that you are not allowed to say.
00:45:14.180
It's like the only word now in the English language that you are not permitted to say.
00:45:18.440
She said it. This is according to a report from Fox News that the New York Post cited.
00:45:24.600
She referred at least twice to a friend who would appear to be white as the N-word in 2009.
00:45:30.360
2009, 12 years ago. And the next year she used that word in a joke tweet. So now she's got to go
00:45:39.860
too. She's got to go too. Everyone has got to go too. Now, before I defend any of these people,
00:45:47.960
which I am not really doing or I'm doing so very reluctantly, I just want to point out
00:45:51.980
Teen Vogue is absolute degenerate filth that should be canceled. Speaking of things that should not be
1.00
00:45:58.680
permitted into the hands of children. Teen Vogue right up there. Just some really, really helpful
00:46:06.420
journalism that Teen Vogue has published. We have a guide to sodomy. How to's, tips, and more. How to
00:46:13.840
do it the right way. The right way. One could say many things about that. Certainly, however,
00:46:22.720
whatever your views on sex. I think we ought to all be able to agree. This should not be in the
0.82
00:46:28.940
hands of like 12-year-old girls or 13-year-old girls. That's probably like a bad, right? That's
00:46:33.680
not a good thing. If you, if you need a, to show an ID to go buy a Playboy, probably you should have
00:46:38.420
to show an ID to buy this trash. Another article, how to get an abortion if you're a teen. It can be
1.00
00:46:44.860
tricky. It should be tricky. It should be very, it should be illegal actually. And publications that
00:46:54.140
give people advice on how to do that should just not be permitted. It's not an abridgment of the
00:46:59.660
First Amendment to say that you need an ID to buy a Playboy. It's not an abridgment of the First
00:47:04.080
Amendment to say that you need an ID to buy Teen Vogue. And frankly, I think you should, maybe the age
00:47:09.260
limit there should be what, like 72, 73, something like that. In any case, I think it's trash. I'm in
00:47:14.700
no way defending Teen Vogue. However, with regard to what these girls are alleged to have done,
1.00
00:47:22.280
I think it would be better if we lived in a culture where people did not lose their livelihoods
00:47:27.700
and careers for, for jokes they made when they were teenagers. I think that would be better.
00:47:32.180
Who has never said or done anything that they regret? Anybody? You ever tell a joke ever in your
00:47:43.920
whole life that if it were printed on the cover of the New York Times might not reflect well on you,
00:47:50.840
especially in 2021? Yeah, you ever do that? Anybody? Oh, everybody? Oh, 100%. Exactly every single
00:47:58.140
person has done that. Ever tell a joke that maybe might be considered in bad taste? Really? Oh,
00:48:05.080
every single person? There's no end to this sort of thing. And the political point here is that
00:48:12.980
revolutions tend to eat their own. That's what they do. They are like the devil in this way. I was just
00:48:21.660
recently rereading Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis, which is this book, you know, written by one demon to
00:48:28.040
his nephew demon about how to tempt people and bring them to the devil. And something that you
00:48:32.840
begin to realize as the letters progress is that when they talk about love, the love that we have for
00:48:40.660
one another in the true sense of that word, love is willing the good of the other. I love my wife
00:48:48.200
in a different way than I love a delicious hoagie. I love a delicious hoagie in the sense that I want
00:48:54.160
to consume the hoagie. And this is the way that demons desire and love. It's a desire to consume,
00:49:04.020
not a desire to will the good of the other, but a desire to consume, to eat, to destroy.
00:49:10.560
That's how this cancel culture is going to end up. That's how political correctness ends up.
00:49:14.960
The whole point of political correctness is destruction. It's not about building anything
00:49:20.480
else up. It goes all the way back to a line from Karl Marx where he said that radicals must embark
00:49:25.860
on the ruthless criticism of all that exists. Critical theory developed largely out of these
00:49:31.840
schools of thought. Now we talk about a lot about critical race theory. What's the theory? The theory
00:49:36.580
is to criticize. You can criticize anything. You can tear anything down. The late philosopher Roger
00:49:40.700
Scruton said, it's much easier. It's a point that many people have made. It's much easier to tear
00:49:45.360
things down than to build them up. And the job of radicals is to tear, tear, tear down. And the job
00:49:51.080
of conservatives is to preserve things and to try to build those things up again. That's what we are
00:49:58.340
trying to do here. And our ability to do that is being taken from us. The idea that we can debate and
00:50:06.540
persuade our fellow citizens. That idea is being constricted and decisions are being exported to
00:50:13.500
other people because of theories that make an idol out of administrative government, theories that
00:50:18.560
make an idol out of eggheads, theories that make an idol out of economics for that matter, and out of
00:50:23.380
the marketplace. In a way, sort of the flip side of the coin that you see with socialists. We can't do
00:50:29.400
that. We need all of these things in their right place. And we need to be pursuing the good, justice,
00:50:36.480
the end of government, as Madison told us. Otherwise, we're just going to lose the whole thing.

I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show. See you tomorrow.
00:51:10.620
Today on The Ben Shapiro Show, another mass shooting rocks Colorado.
00:51:40.700
Joe Biden continues to lock kids in cages while keeping the border open.
00:51:44.000
And Democrats aren't done yet. They're calling for an end to the filibuster.
00:51:47.060
That's today on The Ben Shapiro Show. Give it a listen.
