Summary
A police officer in Columbus, Ohio shot and killed a 16-year-old girl, Micaiah Bryant, saying she was threatening two other girls with a knife. Police body cam footage shows a knife in her hand, but it is edited out of the video so no one can see it.

00:00:37.720
I think for a lot of people, the most jarring aspect of this Columbus shooting story
00:00:42.720
where the girl tries to stab the other girl and then the cop shoots the girl with the knife,
0.99
00:00:46.520
the most jarring aspect of it is how this is in any way controversial.
00:00:53.980
You see the girl with the knife inches from the other girl.
00:00:57.380
The cop waits until the very last minute, but then he blows away the threat.
00:01:05.160
How could anybody not trust what they're seeing with their own eyes?
00:01:11.740
The establishment media, the left-wing media, the mainstream media will not let you see that
00:01:22.380
Lester Holt at NBC introduced the story, said, here's what happened.
00:01:28.020
You've got to check out this footage, plays the footage, and then NBC edits the footage
00:01:35.780
Just before yesterday's verdict, a police officer shot and killed a 16-year-old black girl in
00:01:41.440
Columbus, Ohio, saying she was threatening others with a knife.
00:01:47.680
Our Kevin Tibbles has that story, and I need to caution you.
00:01:53.720
Police body cam video shows Micaiah Bryant's final moments when a Columbus, Ohio police officer
00:02:00.380
responding to a call gets out of his car and seconds later fatally shoots the 16-year-old
00:02:07.520
Authorities say Bryant was threatening two other girls with a knife.
00:02:20.920
Reardon fires his weapon four times, striking Bryant.
00:02:28.100
Body camera footage shows a knife on the ground.
00:02:31.040
No, body camera footage shows the knife in the girl's hand inches away from the other girl's
00:02:38.760
You can see the way they paused the frame so that the knife is out of frame, so you can't
00:02:44.560
see it, but they kept the audio going so you just hear the gunfire.
00:02:50.960
The video shows that the girl had the knife at the other girl's throat, but they edit it
00:03:00.920
Anyone who would see the footage, anyone who would acknowledge the footage would know
00:03:08.160
So what's the left got to do to push their narrative?
00:03:22.100
My favorite comment yesterday is from Fred, who points out, everyone's ignoring the fact
00:03:26.320
that a guy almost removed the head from that woman's shoulders with that kick.
00:03:30.120
Yeah, and people aren't paying very close attention because everyone's focusing on the
00:03:33.720
girl stabbing the other girl, but there's also a grown man kicking a woman in the head
00:03:42.080
You've got a man kicking a woman in the head.
1.00
00:03:44.620
You've got a girl stabbing another girl, and you've got a cop trying to keep the peace and
00:04:01.680
He's the, he's the only person in this situation in any way trying to bring about justice.
00:04:07.940
And so he is the bad guy, according to the left.
00:04:13.040
When things are crazy, I found it's a good idea to invest in physical gold.
00:04:17.680
It's a good, good hedge against all the craziness of this world.
00:04:21.660
If you want to invest in physical gold, a great way to do it, Acre.
00:04:24.700
Acre lets you subscribe to gold bars for as little as $30 a month.
00:04:28.260
You pay each month, and once your gold stash reaches the price of their gold bars,
00:04:31.860
they will discreetly ship Acre gold to your house.
00:04:33.980
Just recently, Acre has introduced a new $100 a month subscription to a five gram gold bar.
00:04:39.200
It's just a brilliant way to invest without coming out of pocket all at once, because you say,
00:04:42.740
well, look, gold costs a little bit of money and more than I've got in the couch cushions.
00:04:47.460
Well, that's fine if you just invest every month in this gold stash.
00:04:52.240
Once that stash hits the price of the gold bars, you get the bar discreetly.
00:05:01.400
so Acre has created a solid gold 24-karat 9mm bullet for you to buy now.
00:05:08.640
That would be a very expensive day at the range.
00:05:21.180
Make sure you go to that URL because Acre is giving away a gold bar.
00:05:24.180
To qualify for the giveaway, tweet or post why you should be the recipient
00:05:31.560
And thank you, Acre Gold, for supporting the show.
00:05:34.200
So the footage shows the girl with the knife inches away from the other girl that she's
0.93
00:05:43.660
Their excuse probably is we didn't want to show footage of the girl actually being shot.
00:05:48.840
Well, then why did you edit it so perfectly where the knife is just out of frame?
00:05:54.560
Body cam footage is not the only footage we have, by the way.
00:05:56.900
There is more footage from across the street where someone was not intervening,
00:06:03.200
But at least now we have this footage of the knife-wielding girl screaming just before she
0.72
00:06:09.600
is shot, screaming, I'm going to stab the F out of you, blank.
0.95
00:06:28.180
It's a little bit hard to hear, obviously, in the melee and the audios further away.
00:06:32.140
But she does say, I'm going to stab the F out of you, blank.
00:06:35.800
It's, but you couldn't, you couldn't script it any more clearly.
00:06:40.500
If you were, if you were making a TV show about this, you said, how do we script a totally
00:06:50.280
You would say in the moments before, I'm going to, I'm going to commit this crime.
00:06:54.400
I'm going to do, I'm going to use deadly force on you, innocent person.
1.00
00:07:01.740
We have more footage from the cops of, of girl who was attacked saying, yes, the girl
00:07:10.960
She came out with, she with a knife earlier?
1.00
00:07:22.240
And it's the woman who's wearing the really bright pink outfit that you can all see in
0.79
00:07:29.400
Doesn't, doesn't sound like a white guy cop, by the way, either.
00:07:31.700
And the woman says, yes, she was coming after me.
00:07:35.360
According to the Columbus Dispatch, a neighbor said that the, this cop saved lives.
00:07:41.660
Donovan Brinson, who's a neighbor to Makia Bryant's foster home, says, quote, and this
00:07:47.540
is being reported now by the Columbus Dispatch.
00:07:49.760
While what happened is tragic, Brinson said, it all happened so fast that he didn't see how
00:07:54.240
the officer could have had time to have done anything else.
00:07:56.640
He referenced the girl scene in both police body camera footage and on his own camera footage,
00:08:01.000
who was wearing pink, who was the second female engaged with Brian in the scuffle.
1.00
00:08:04.180
Well, Brinson said he really thinks more people might have died had police not taken action.
00:08:14.080
The one thing I want to say before we move on to the media, which is actually what I'm
00:08:17.620
interested in talking about here, is the circumstances of this are deeply, deeply sad.
00:08:31.500
He saved lives, very likely, as this neighbor says, as the Columbus Dispatch is reporting,
00:08:37.740
as the woman who was about to be stabbed is saying, right?
00:08:41.380
However, it is a very sad thing that this girl, Makia Bryant, did not have good parents.
00:08:49.600
It's a very sad thing that this girl, Makia Bryant, was put into the foster care system.
00:08:55.740
I was thinking about this story a lot, obviously.
00:08:57.100
So I'm looking at my cute little baby boy, my newborn baby, and I'm thinking, this kid,
00:09:03.040
you know, at least now, I think we're all healthy, we're all here, has these two loving
00:09:06.280
parents who are giving him every single advantage they possibly can.
00:09:12.760
I think about myself when I was a little kid, how important it was that I had loving parents
00:09:18.720
around me all the time, devoted parents who would give anything for me.
00:09:27.840
She had bad parents and she was raised in a bad culture around bad people in a bad system.
00:09:35.260
And that's not the fault of the patriarchy or the white supremacy.
00:09:40.000
It's the fault of her bad parents and her bad family around her.
00:09:45.380
And they failed her and they, they deserve, she does not deserve all the blame for her
00:09:52.040
She chose to do what she did with the knife and she faced the consequences for that.
00:09:56.780
Her family bears quite a lot of blame too, though, for putting her in this, this awful
00:10:02.480
upbringing, for not educating her correctly, for not taking care of her, for not loving her.
00:10:07.520
And I think you're going to see a lot of people who you're going to see like the second cousin
00:10:12.660
twice removed of Makia Bryant now coming in and trying to milk this situation for some
1.00
00:10:17.580
money from the state, which is even, even more degrading and pathetic.
00:10:22.280
But really they should all be looking inward at themselves and what, what they have done
00:10:26.600
Even, even, I can't believe I'm saying this, even CNN, even Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo, Tweedledee
00:10:37.520
and Tweedledum are admitting that this cop was totally justified in his actions.
00:10:45.380
People are very emotional right now, but we've got to be fair about what happens when police
00:10:51.300
And it is tragic that it's a 16 year old girl, just as it is tragic that it's a 13 year
00:10:58.620
When police are chasing people, they don't know how old they are and they don't run and
00:11:08.500
When they roll up on a scene, they see people tussling around.
00:11:11.380
Someone has a knife and their job is to protect and serve every life on that scene.
00:11:18.580
And if they see someone who is in the process of taking a life, what is that decision?
00:11:26.220
And I know that people say, well, you know, you can do this, you can do that.
00:11:38.920
So you've got to get, you know, two prongs or what have you, and it's got to connect or
00:11:43.980
They go on, actually, this, they describe it even more.
00:11:46.020
I'm impressed, though, that they even, it's not just like they're saying, yes, the use
00:11:51.980
They're acknowledging for all these armchair quarterbacks who know nothing about firearms
00:12:00.380
They work sometimes, but they're not particularly reliable.
00:12:03.720
At that distance, they would not be really reliable.
00:12:06.480
With the knife that close to the other girl's body, it would not be that reliable.
00:12:10.260
And you would be staking the likely victim's life on something that is just not that trustworthy.
00:12:19.140
Why didn't he shoot the knife out of her hand or something?
00:12:22.380
Because life is not the good, the bad, and the ugly.
00:12:25.020
Because life is not a spaghetti Western, and that's not how firearms work, and that's not
00:12:29.740
And they acknowledge that because there's really no argument here.
00:12:33.420
But some people don't want to acknowledge that.
00:12:37.500
Ilhan Omar, absolutely crass politician, shameless, at an event with a career extortionist
00:12:46.480
and race hustler, Al Sharpton, says this was an absolutely tragic killing.
00:12:54.880
Thank you, Reverend Al Sharpton, for being here and for that beautiful eulogy.
00:13:06.480
Most of us in this room, including myself, look at you as a guardian
00:13:17.120
And may Dante Wright serve as a guardian for all of us.
00:13:21.580
Joyce Beatty was going to be here and speak on our behalf as the chairwoman of our caucus.
00:13:28.880
But just like we've been visited by tragedy here in Minnesota often,
00:13:34.580
she, in Columbus, Ohio, was visited by a tragedy of a young woman whose life was taken by Columbus police.
00:13:45.020
Ilhan Omar says that Al Sharpton, he's a guardian, he's a hero.
00:13:48.720
Al Sharpton is a shakedown artist who launched his career on the Tawana Brawley hoax,
00:13:53.980
who has done nothing but try to grab power and money by exploiting divisions and tragic events,
00:14:02.900
and in some cases, contriving them out of whole cloth.
00:14:07.320
That's what a lot of politicians are going to be doing as well.
00:14:10.380
None of us knows when the end will come, but you should be prepared for that.

A lot of politicians, notably on the left, politicians generally,
00:15:30.680
are going to have no shame in exploiting genuinely sad events
00:15:40.300
And the left is much better at this than conservatives,
00:15:46.660
in a way that the right has not done maybe ever.
00:15:50.220
And in a way that the left has not done in many decades.
00:15:55.680
The Democrats in Washington are trying to turn Washington, D.C. into a state.
00:16:01.680
D.C. statehood passed the House of Representatives yesterday
00:16:10.660
It's called the Washington, D.C. Admission Act.
00:16:18.860
The entire purpose of the federal district is that the federal government
00:16:27.080
That's why you take a little land from Virginia,
00:16:33.720
It is entirely for the purpose of not keeping the federal seat of power in one state.
00:16:43.920
However, they realize that because D.C. is a Democrat area, if you make D.C. a state,
00:16:57.000
They will get an advantage in the Electoral College.
00:17:05.140
They have a very good shot of holding the presidency forever, or just nearly so.
00:17:11.400
A lot of it will come down to whether or not the filibuster is broken,
00:17:14.540
whether Joe Manchin goes squishy, how the Democrats hold Manchin,
00:17:21.040
You hear Republicans now saying, you know, this is outrageous, Democrats.
00:17:25.320
We've never tried to pack the court and steal a permanent majority in the Senate,
00:17:37.020
They know that Republicans don't wield political power even when they have it
00:17:41.220
because the Republicans are not a serious governing party.
00:17:45.880
And they know that they will wield political power when they have it.
00:17:50.420
And so they're going to do it, and they're going to get even more power.
00:17:55.040
But it's unconstitutional to make D.C. a state this way.
00:18:02.260
They just don't care because Democrats are playing to win
00:18:09.820
that is more than just changing the marginal tax rate.
00:18:21.140
Republicans are this weird hodgepodge of traditional conservatives,
00:18:25.900
libertarians, who very often disagree with one another,
00:18:28.900
neocons, who are basically just war hawk liberals.
00:18:34.520
You know, on domestic policy, they're kind of indistinguishable from center Democrats,
00:18:40.240
but they also want to take over countries in the Middle East.
00:18:49.280
No one can agree on anything other than cut taxes a little bit.
00:18:52.560
So that's what they do when they have political power.
0.56
00:18:54.700
And then Democrats get power and they make big, big wins.
00:19:02.600
Conservatives don't even know how we feel about something like masks, right?
00:19:06.460
So you've got a Republican president, Republicans holding the Senate.
00:19:12.480
And the left, the Democrats, are still able to upend the whole culture,
00:19:17.540
lock down the whole country over the woo flu,
0.99
00:19:24.520
With few exceptions, they kind of just go along with it.
00:19:29.880
She was speaking at a government proceeding about the mask itself.
00:19:41.460
which some squish Republicans went along with.
0.90
00:19:44.100
And then there is the proper understanding of the masks.
00:19:47.460
What the left said was the masks, they're, look, just common sense.
00:19:55.300
And that's going to ease us all back into society.
00:19:58.940
When you walk around and you see everyone covering up their face
00:20:01.620
like a bunch of banditos, like secular burkas,
1.00
00:20:08.560
The proper view of the masks was this was always a symbol
00:20:14.200
to keep everybody even more ready to give away their power
00:20:18.560
to the government and to the experts in particular,
00:20:24.220
Oh gosh, we've never been in this situation before.
00:20:32.600
God, give the power away to Dr. Fauci, everybody.
00:20:36.320
And so the psychological effect of that is really insane.
00:20:41.440
A woman has gone viral for pointing this out and demanding,
1.00
00:20:50.940
Every adult in the state of Georgia that wants that vaccine is eligible to get it right now.
00:20:54.400
And every one of us knows that young children are not affected by this virus.
00:21:01.060
But as the adults, what have we done with that blessing?
00:21:04.100
We've shoved it to the side and we've said, we don't care.
00:21:06.260
You're still going to wear a mask on your face every day.
00:21:09.500
You still can't play together on the playground like normal children, seven and eight year olds.
00:21:15.040
We're still going to force you to carry a burden that was never yours to carry shame on us.
00:21:29.140
We chose you to make decisions that would be in our children's best interest
00:21:32.520
and forcing five, six, seven, eight and nine year old little children
00:21:36.740
to cover their noses and their mouths where they breathe for seven hours a day,
00:21:41.780
every day for the last nine months for a virus that you know doesn't affect them.
00:21:58.020
What, what can she run for where I can vote for it?
1.00
00:22:01.300
She gets it more than certainly the experts and the experts know how to use the masks
00:22:06.120
to wield political power, but she gets it much better than any of the conservatives who went along
1.00
00:22:21.680
If I were to come onto this show and say that as a scientific matter, the masks are really a bad idea.
00:22:31.960
Now I'm just speaking hypothetically here, right?
00:22:33.540
Big tech would take down this show because big tech follows the science and the experts.
00:22:40.220
And how dare you, Michael, use your political judgment to, to describe a scientific matter?
00:22:55.860
Let's have a little experiment on the show today.
00:22:58.320
I have here from the National Institutes of Health, a peer reviewed scientific study
00:23:06.880
This was published online, November 22nd of 2020.
00:23:12.440
This was published in the journal itself, January, 2021.
00:23:16.060
This is, uh, from Baruch Vine Shelboim, who had been, uh, affiliated.
00:23:26.580
He was a fellow, I believe at Stanford university.
00:23:30.260
He has published the headline face masks in the COVID-19 era, a health hypothesis.
00:23:36.260
I'm just, I'm just reading from the peer reviewed scientific study on NIH.
00:23:39.900
If you take me down for this big tech, I think the, I think the mask has fallen off.
00:23:47.800
Many countries across the globe utilized medical and non-medical face masks as non-pharmaceutical
00:23:51.460
intervention for reducing the transmission and infectivity of coronavirus disease 2019.
00:23:57.300
Although scientific evidence supporting face masks efficacy is lacking, adverse physiological,
00:24:02.500
psychological, and health effects are established.
00:24:09.900
The current article reviews the scientific evidences with respect to safety and efficacy
00:24:14.280
of wearing face masks, describing the physiological and psychological effects and the potential
00:24:21.180
It is not clear, however, what the scientific and clinical basis for wearing face masks as
00:24:28.220
protective strategy, given the fact that face masks restrict breathing, causing hypoxemia
00:24:34.260
hypoxemia and hypercapnia and increase the risk for respiratory complications, self-contamination
00:24:39.900
and exacerbation of existing chronic conditions.
00:24:45.260
Data from hospitalized patients with COVID-19 and general public indicate that the majority
00:24:49.880
of deaths were among older and chronically ill individuals, supporting the possibility that
00:24:54.220
the virus may exacerbate existing conditions, but rarely causes death by itself.
00:24:58.820
Here we go, here we go, say goodbye because they're about to take me off.
00:25:03.080
I'm just quoting from the peer-reviewed scientific study.
00:25:05.880
Wearing face masks has adverse physiological and psychological effects.
00:25:11.200
Long-term consequences of wearing face masks on health are detrimental.
00:25:22.400
Now, you know, I don't think our politics should be based primarily on the science.
00:25:29.120
I think it should be based primarily on the politics and the philosophy and the eternal
00:25:35.540
And I don't think that we should outsource our government to egghead experts.
1.00
00:25:39.440
However, even by that premise of the left, that every time we get, we find one scientific
00:25:46.040
paper in the journal, especially the NIH putting it out there, then we need to do whatever
00:25:53.160
Follow the science and take off the stupid face masks.
00:25:57.520
One issue with the face masks is that it makes people, it makes them really itchy if they've

00:27:02.140
If I'm still permitted to broadcast after simply reading a peer-reviewed scientific study questioning,
00:27:11.700
actually contradicting the efficacy and safety of face masks, if big tech will still allow
00:27:18.440
me to speak after I've simply read a peer-reviewed study that is posted on the NIH, I still probably
00:27:27.760
will not be able to promote my book, Speechless, Controlling Words, Controlling Minds, available
00:27:39.060
This book raises a lot of questions for the left that I haven't really seen raised in popular
00:27:50.560
You know, the left only takes down certain books.
00:27:53.020
They specifically take down books that question the gender ideology, like my friend Ryan Anderson's
00:27:57.300
book, When Harry Became Sally, but other books as well.
00:28:00.620
And I thought this book might fall into that category.
00:28:05.500
Well, just heard from my publisher that YouTube, Google Ads, is not permitting the publisher to
00:28:15.520
The ad was rejected for, quote, election advertising in the United States, which is very strange because
00:28:21.960
the election, I guess in question, took place six months ago, right?
00:28:28.560
Because it talks about certain political issues, Google Ads will not allow the publisher to
00:28:38.980
The book is not even due to be published for two months.
00:28:42.100
We're almost exactly two months out from publication and they are already pushing the
00:28:47.920
This is why, by the way, we're selling the book through basically every channel we possibly
00:28:53.720
And, you know, most books in the United States, most books in the world are sold on Amazon.
00:28:57.540
But we know that if Amazon just clicks a button, then it goes away.
00:29:03.100
It's also on Premier Collectibles for an autographed first edition copy.
00:29:06.540
It's also on all sorts of other places because I do fear that you're going to see a big push
00:29:14.420
to take it down and the thing about it is if the book were to get banned, you'd see a very
00:29:22.580
That happens generally when things get canceled.
00:29:24.900
But the reason the left cancels is because in the long run it works.
00:29:28.960
The reason that they go for this sort of thing is, yeah, you see a short spike in popularity
00:29:32.740
for a few days, but in the long run, because they have the positions of influence and because
00:29:40.320
they have the willingness to wield political power, they will get their way in the long
00:29:45.960
And this is coincidentally, actually the thesis of the book, which tells me that they're going
00:29:54.560
All of that, not just a plug, but actually a news story.
00:29:57.520
And I suspect that you're going to, you're going to see more of this as we get, as we
00:30:02.080
Does that count as a plug if it's part of the news?
00:30:08.020
Democrats want to tightly control this narrative.
00:30:14.680
And so Jen Psaki the other day at the White House was asked a question, you know, Joe Biden
00:30:19.500
throws out accusations of racism left and right.
00:30:22.400
He called the sitting president, Donald Trump, a racist on the debate stage.
00:30:27.320
If you could even call that a debate during the 2020 election, he regularly, he started
00:30:32.960
his campaign on the false premise that Donald Trump called white supremacists, very fine
00:30:38.860
He, he loves throwing, he like all leftists loves throwing around the term racism.
00:30:43.960
So a reporter threw it back at Jen Psaki and said, you know, a lot of the policies that
0.77
00:30:49.500
are now being called racist, mass incarceration, that sort of thing were created by Joe Biden.
00:30:54.680
So does Joe Biden want to apologize for his own racism, according to his own premises?
00:31:01.220
President Biden yesterday, uh, responding to George, the George Floyd, Floyd case verdict,
00:31:06.520
uh, said, uh, that George Floyd's death, quote, ripped the blinders off for the whole
00:31:10.680
world to see the systemic racism in the United States.
00:31:13.120
Um, but he's an architect of multiple federal laws in the 1980s and 90s, uh, that disproportionately
00:31:19.780
jailed black people and contributed to what many people see as systemic racism.
00:31:24.280
Uh, the activist, Colonel West said that Biden was, quote, one of the core architects of mass
00:31:29.260
incarceration and that, quote, I think Biden is going to have to take responsibility and
00:31:33.820
acknowledge the contribution he made to mass incarceration.
00:31:36.620
Uh, to what extent does President Biden, uh, acknowledge his own role in, uh, systemic
00:31:41.920
racism and how does that inform his current policy positions?
00:31:45.260
Well, I would say that, um, the president's, one of the president's core objectives is addressing
00:31:50.000
racial injustice in this country, not just through his rhetoric, but through his actions.
00:31:54.140
Does he believe it's important to accept his own culpability?
00:32:02.400
The question was, Joe Biden says that, and the left broadly says that all these sorts
00:32:10.040
Joe Biden hurls the term racism around left and right.
00:32:13.660
Joe Biden created many of the policies that are now called racist.
00:32:25.380
The question is if all these things really were racist and Joe Biden created them, does he
00:32:31.100
regret, does he take responsibility for his own past racism?
00:32:34.700
According to your own definition, she says, I've answered your question.
00:32:42.440
NBC doesn't need to apologize for editing that video.
00:32:46.240
The left doesn't need to apologize for any of this.
00:32:48.540
Google doesn't, doesn't, they don't need to explain why they're not going to let the
00:32:56.440
Amazon doesn't need to explain why it took down Ryan Anderson's book.
00:33:03.520
They just don't need to because they've got the power and they're willing to wield the
00:33:07.680
Very few politicians are willing to speak up against these sorts of things.
00:33:13.240
Ted Cruz, uh, yesterday held up an anti-Asian hate crime bill.
00:33:24.500
Senator Cruz held up the Democrat Asian hate crime bill that was making its way through
00:33:31.700
the legislature because he wanted to expand it.
00:33:34.880
He said, okay, you're passing this bill, which is, doesn't have a lot of teeth to it.
00:33:38.900
It's just kind of a PR thing for you Democrats.
00:33:41.640
Well, if you really want to stop anti-Asian policies, then you need to expand the bill
00:33:47.100
to prohibit colleges from discriminating against Asians in their application process.
00:33:54.300
Right now in this country, by the law, this has been approved by the Supreme Court even,
00:33:59.980
colleges can discriminate against Asians and whites in favor of blacks and Hispanics in
00:34:08.880
So he says, okay, you, you, you want a bill that's brings justice to Asians, stop the discrimination
00:34:19.560
Frankly, I, I just wish Republicans would go even further and say, by the way, you want
00:34:22.820
to stop the, stop the discrimination against the white kids too.
00:34:27.520
If we're, if we're really going to talk about racial justice, stop discriminating against
00:34:31.720
Asians and whites in favor of blacks and Hispanics because we're all for racial justice
00:34:40.620
But at the very least, if you're in doing the Asian discrimination bill, at least get
0.93
00:34:46.560
rid of the most conspicuous anti-Asian discrimination in the country.
00:34:52.580
They don't want to talk about it and they don't need to answer for it because they've
00:34:56.780
got the political power and they're willing to wield that political power.
00:35:01.060
And Republicans don't have the political power.
00:35:03.300
And even when we do, we're not willing to use it.
00:35:05.200

What is your view on limiting legal immigration?
00:36:13.580
There are multiple cities in the United States where there are more immigrants than natural
0.99
00:36:18.060
In these cases, assimilation does not seem possible.
00:36:21.200
I strongly favor drastically limiting legal immigration.
1.00
00:36:27.840
This is not some brand new view that's on the fringes of the right.
00:36:31.720
Bill Buckley was debating this sort of thing on his firing line program in the 1990s.
00:36:40.540
Conservatives have long, real conservatives have long favored dramatically reducing not
00:36:47.220
And it's not because we hate the Mexicans or we, I mean, first of all, it is a little
0.99
00:36:50.340
strange that we have this current immigration policy that gives total deference toward Latin
00:36:55.200
America to the exclusion of people elsewhere in the world.
00:36:58.460
But even beyond that, to your point, it is very unlikely, if not impossible, to assimilate
00:37:07.300
these kinds of people in these numbers right now with the current political atmosphere
00:37:15.340
We're taking in two to three million people a year in this country.
00:37:18.700
It's hard because you don't know exactly how many illegal aliens are coming in, but millions
00:37:23.460
and millions of people, far more than any other country in the world, next highest, it would
00:37:27.720
And then in terms of immigration numbers, the rest of the countries aren't even close.
00:37:33.440
Over the last 60 years, the movement of people into the United States has been the largest
00:37:38.960
mass movement of people in the history of the world.
00:37:44.200
I think we, what, we have something like 51 million immigrants in the United States right
00:37:48.560
Record highs in terms of a percentage of immigrants to the native-born population.
00:37:54.200
I'm not, I am not saying we should always forever stop immigration totally.
0.95
00:38:04.400
I don't think that acknowledges the changing circumstances of politics.
00:38:07.900
Likewise, I don't think that, oh, the more the merrier.
00:38:10.920
We want, we want the highest levels of immigration ever.
00:38:20.240
You know, it's not just the idea and it's not just the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Shenandoah
00:38:30.160
And we got a lot of people in this country and they all look different.
00:38:33.940
They've come here different ways and they've got different family stories.
00:38:36.340
But there is a real distinction between people who are born in this country and people who
00:38:41.960
And if you want to preserve anything like your traditional culture, then you've got to be
0.98
00:38:47.380
So yes, dramatically lower legal immigration, totally.
00:38:54.140
From Brad, dear Michael, in regard to the recent UFO confirmation by the Pentagon, what
00:38:58.320
would the discovery of intelligent life on other planets mean for the Christian faith?
00:39:01.720
As Christians, how should we react or think about this possibility?
00:39:10.540
C.S. Lewis wrote about this and said, you know, basically it doesn't change anything.
00:39:14.360
So he's totally open to the prospect of life on other planets and what it would mean for
00:39:25.160
I don't, I don't think it would change anything.
00:39:27.360
I don't know what, what would it change if there was, there was some other kind of life
00:39:33.280
I also will tell you, I know that we're talking about the UFOs and everything.
00:39:36.760
I suspect that these UFOs, like previous UFOs, are just military technology, maybe from a
00:39:45.020
But I don't, I don't see any reason to believe that it's ET or some really hyper-intelligent
00:39:54.700
I'm not convinced that there are aliens in the universe.
00:39:57.700
I don't, I know people get, they say, but it's the universe is so big.
00:40:04.020
That doesn't, we don't, we don't know anything about the scientific origins of life.
00:40:14.180
Well, but we know about the micro evolution on the islands in the Pacific.
00:40:17.940
Okay, fine, but no one has any materialist scientific theory of how you go from not life
00:40:26.860
to life that, that is in any way persuasive or credible.
00:40:30.340
So I just, you know, it doesn't particularly interest me and I don't think it would have
00:40:36.620
much to say or much effect on my theology or my understanding of religion, but it'd be
00:40:43.780
great if we could, you know, wouldn't that be cool if we could, if we could have even
00:40:47.060
more saved souls throughout the universe, even if they look kind of creepy and wrinkly
00:40:51.580
From Chris, my question is about religion and friends.
00:40:55.000
Everyone at the Daily Wire is a different denomination, Catholic or Jewish.
00:40:58.260
Have you all had a serious debate on these religious differences or does the Daily Wire
00:41:02.000
team keep religion separate from the workplace?
0.54
00:41:09.180
It's basically all we talk about, you know, we'll occasionally talk about politics, but
00:41:13.220
you know, ultimately all human conflict is theological, as Cardinal Manning said.
00:41:18.280
And if you are a devotee of the Breitbart doctrine, you know, politics is downstream of
00:41:23.420
Certainly we could acknowledge that culture is downstream of religion.
00:41:26.460
Cult and culture come from the same root word and that's why what a culture worships
00:41:30.460
So that's ultimately all we really do want to talk about.
00:41:32.940
And I mean, we're respectful about it relative.
00:41:36.840
I mean, I'll still, you know, I'll call Jeremy a heretic and he'll call me a papist Pelagian
0.96
00:41:40.820
heretic and, you know, we'll do that, that sort of thing a bit.
00:41:43.260
But yeah, that, that is, that is mostly, I would say when we're having a real serious
00:41:47.860
conversation, that's mostly what we're talking about is ethnic, ethics and morality and of
00:41:52.740
From Jacob, my question is, should we bring the gladi, bring back the gladiator games?
00:41:58.560
Why can't two consulting and consenting adults fight to the death?
00:42:04.820
I assume your question is tongue in cheek, but maybe not.
00:42:14.540
We live in a culture now where we are told that the highest, maybe the only moral question
00:42:24.880
If two people consent to do something, then it's good.
00:42:31.560
There's no reason why we would ever impede that.
00:42:35.240
If a, if an adult wants to mutilate his body, he's consenting.
00:42:41.520
If an adult wants to do a bunch of heroin, he's consenting to that.
00:42:49.080
Now, of course, in order to believe this very shallow view, you have to conflate liberty
00:42:55.100
You have to believe that freedom is really just pursuing your basest appetites, your lusts,
00:43:00.580
Instead of actually tamping down those appetites and developing and cultivating your higher will
00:43:06.260
and disciplining that will and your intellect, which is what the founding fathers and every
00:43:11.040
wise person in thrall of human history has, has understood liberty to be.
00:43:14.840
But we have that degraded view of liberty, which leads to a degraded view of consent,
00:43:21.200
But no, we should not watch people kill, actually kill each other in a ring.
00:43:36.840
We frown on cockfights because we say, oh, it's wrong to let the chickens, little chickens
0.99
00:43:46.640
So it's wrong to put the dogs in that situation where a poor little dog is going to die.
00:43:50.840
But I bet there are a great many people in this country, in our society, who would say,
00:43:54.300
well, the problem with the cockfight and the pit bull fight is they can't really consent,
00:44:01.560
So if they want to go out and kill each other or do any other degrading act to one another,
00:44:05.720
But it's not totally fine, even if people pretend that they have consented.
00:44:11.300
Given the premise that big tech is a private company, yeah, or private companies, and they
00:44:16.320
can do what they want, should public entities like municipalities and schools and universities
00:44:20.220
be allowed to use, say, Facebook as their only source for announcements?
00:44:23.960
It seems to be a legal point that public entities cannot use a private media medium to provide
00:44:29.260
info for the general public, especially if some of that public can be banned and not have
00:44:39.220
You've got a smoother plug-in for my book than even I have done.
00:44:44.740
Does he get, he, like, I don't think that bell should count for my count.
00:44:52.740
What you're hitting on and what you're implying here is that these private companies, gosh,
00:45:03.560
This was actually why the Trump administration was not permitted to block people on Twitter
00:45:10.060
is because the president would be using his platform to cut certain people off from
00:45:16.900
this information, even though it's a private company, even though it's a private account,
00:45:22.740
The distinction that was very fashionable in the 1980s and 90s in sort of shallow conservatism
00:45:30.160
was there's the public sector and the private sector and public sector bad, private sector
00:45:40.600
Even if the companies are big, woke, multinational corporations that are destroying your country
00:45:45.340
and exert more control over your life than the government does, that good, we love that
00:45:50.520
good, shill for big corporations, government, even when the government is citizens using
00:45:57.260
their legitimate political power and wielding it in a way to craft their own society, bad.
00:46:05.140
You hear the term a lot among sort of neoliberals, which is public-private partnership.
00:46:12.780
The government outsources a lot of their work to private companies, semi-private companies,
00:46:17.320
and then the companies make a bunch of money from the government and, you know, things are
00:46:24.760
I'm a little skeptical of that because also the public is more than the government.
00:46:32.420
Our public square, which is the way that we communicate and in a republic, that is politics,
00:46:41.360
Because in a republic, speech is politics and politics is speech.
00:46:44.700
We just persuade each other and try to govern ourselves.
00:46:46.480
So if you control the public sphere, you control the politics.
00:46:55.440
Google, especially Google, Facebook, and to a lesser degree, Twitter, but Twitter has
00:47:01.000
so many people of influence in the media that it exerts a disproportionate influence with
00:47:11.300
And any conservatism, capital C with a trademark over the M, that suggests that we have no right
00:47:20.060
to regulate the people who are dominating our politics, doesn't seem very conservative
00:47:27.120
From Matthew, Michael, speaking of standards, what is your take on the metric system?
00:47:31.860
I'm a proponent of our English system in general, but as an engineering professor, I find the metric
00:47:35.880
system has merit, especially when it comes to calculations.
00:47:44.460
I hate it for the same reason that you as a scientist probably would like it, which is
00:48:02.620
I, first of all, do not, if the argument is that it's really good for certain scientific
00:48:11.600
I don't mind if certain scientific disciplines defer to the metric system.
00:48:15.260
I don't like the idea that because it's useful for certain scientific material measurements,
00:48:20.680
that therefore all the rest of society must adopt it.
00:48:23.820
To me, that seems to be a symptom of the problem of all of society exporting all of our political
00:48:30.540
power to scientists, so I don't like that idea either.
00:48:38.020
You might say, in a way, I sort of like diversity, meaning I like that cultures have their own unique
00:48:45.160
I like that the English system is different than the metric system.
00:48:49.360
And it's funny because the English don't even use the English system anymore, but we do
00:48:54.840
I don't want the whole world to look exactly the same.
00:48:59.040
I want us to recognize that there are eternal truths.
00:49:11.180
But that doesn't mean that I want the whole world to be governed in exactly the same way and
00:49:15.180
behave in exactly the same way and look exactly the same way.
00:49:18.240
I might be the last guy in the world calling for diversity, but it's a very specific kind
00:49:28.780
From Sarah, seeing LeBron James dox and basically call for violence against the Columbus police
00:49:34.100
Does the officer have a similar legal argument to sue LeBron James as CNN's new boss, Nick
00:49:39.600
He was that kid who was smirking at the Indian who was bashing a drum in his face.
00:49:43.320
LeBron is a public figure and told his 20 million followers that this guy was a horrible
00:49:50.620
No, I don't because the cops are also public figures.
00:49:53.500
Obviously, they're not as famous or wealthy as LeBron James is, but they are in very public
00:50:00.560
roles and they serve the public and they're part of the government.
00:50:04.840
But I am hopeful that now that the real footage got out, in part thanks to the body camera
00:50:10.120
stuff, because that's permeated even that force field of the mainstream media, even CNN's
00:50:16.440
I am hopeful that this cop is not going to have his life ruined, but it is a warning
00:50:20.480
sign for lots of other people in that public position.
00:50:24.760
And I think it's going to discourage a lot of cops.
00:50:27.540
And I think you're going to see more crime and a lot of bad things going on in the cities.
00:50:32.640
I think you're going to see people moving out of the cities because this kind of bad
00:50:39.760
And if you don't have justice, you're not going to have peace.
00:50:42.720
And so people are going to flee that, I think, for safer, safer grounds.
