The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 760 - Mr. Mom

00:00:00.000 For all the moms out there, Dr. Fauci has a special present for your special day.

00:00:07.860 If you are good little girls and you do every single thing that he says,

00:00:12.520 maybe, just maybe, you can celebrate Mother's Day next year.

00:00:17.900 Give everyone a sense of what the country is going to look like next Mother's Day.

00:00:21.440 Well, George, I hope that next Mother's Day we're going to see a dramatic difference than what we're seeing right now.

00:00:27.220 I believe that we will be about as close to back to normal as we can.

00:00:32.360 And there's some conditions to that, George.

00:00:35.180 We've got to make sure that we get the overwhelming proportion of the population vaccinated.

00:00:40.860 When that happens, the virus doesn't really have any place to go.

00:00:44.500 There aren't a lot of vulnerable people around.

00:00:47.160 And where there are not a lot of vulnerable people around, you're not going to see a surge.

00:00:51.060 You're not going to see the kinds of numbers we see now.

00:00:53.700 So, next Mother's Day, something, what, 14 months after 15 days to slow the spread,

00:01:00.680 will be, not normal, will be close to, as close to normal as possible.

00:01:06.760 If you all get the shot, but if you don't, you're locking down for another two years, you sheep.

00:01:12.740 Happy Mother's Day.

00:01:13.680 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:01:14.320 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:15.160 My only real pang of, I would say, almost despair in politics is that if I were ever

00:01:30.740 to run for some office, if I were ever to find myself in some position of political influence,

00:01:37.660 probably Dr. Fauci will already be out of his job.

00:01:41.420 Because I would love nothing more, if I found myself in a position of political power, I

00:01:45.960 would love nothing more than to fire Dr. Fauci, banish him to St. Helena, and never more hear

00:01:52.220 from him again.

00:01:53.260 Frankly, though, even if, let's say that I run for something and I win something in, I

00:01:56.840 don't know, 20 years, 30 years.

00:01:59.900 On second thought, Dr. Fauci probably still will be in his job.

00:02:02.820 I don't know when that bargain with the devil runs up.

00:02:05.020 I know he's been in office since, what, the Truman administration or something like that.

00:02:08.920 So, a fair chance, I suppose, that he is there.

00:02:11.280 Speaking of politicians, my favorite comment on Friday comes from Extreme Taco Cannon, who says,

00:02:18.240 Caitlyn Jenner can't win.

00:02:20.540 California needs Cox at a time like this.

00:02:24.400 And this is a very good point.

00:02:25.980 John Cox is a good, is a good gubernatorial candidate.

00:02:28.900 Put up a, you know, put up a fight in 2018.

00:02:31.620 And, and this year, I think, is really making a strong play.

00:02:34.080 So, yes, perhaps California does need Cox at a time like this.

00:02:39.360 At these very difficult times when everything is so fraught, one way to give us a little bit of peace of mind, having some physical gold.

00:02:47.640 If you want to invest in physical gold, go check out Acre.

00:02:50.580 Acre lets you subscribe to gold bars for as little as $30 a month.

00:03:32.800 No, actually, maybe you've never killed a werewolf, okay?

00:03:55.220 Now, everywhere, motherhood is being devalued, not just in the medical community, which is

00:04:04.960 now trying to erase women entirely, but even in the popular culture. 1.00

00:04:09.400 Put aside for a second the transgender issue that says that men and women are exactly the 0.99

00:04:14.680 same and men are the best women around are just men. 1.00

00:04:19.080 Even in the popular culture, motherhood itself is so devalued.

00:04:22.620 There was a clip from somebody named Tiffany Haddish.

00:04:25.800 The name vaguely rings a bell, though I have no idea what this person does.

00:04:29.300 Tiffany Haddish was being interviewed on some show and was asked about Mother's Day.

00:04:34.980 And she said, you know, I might be a mother.

00:04:37.140 I might have some kids running around.

00:04:38.600 I don't know.

00:04:39.560 Here goes something everybody don't know I'm a tick.

00:04:41.480 When I was 21, I was really hard up with money and I gave up a bunch of eggs.

00:04:45.260 So who knows?

00:04:45.840 I might got some kids out here on the street.

00:04:48.060 There might be some Tiffany Haddish's.

00:04:49.680 I doubt it though because I never got the bonus.

00:04:51.400 It's a man somewhere to cry out somewhere.

00:04:54.940 Ha ha ha ha ha.

00:04:55.840 Isn't that funny?

00:04:56.980 Maybe I've got some kids running around because I decided that for some pieces of silver,

00:05:03.580 I would consign my children to never knowing their mother.

00:05:07.360 This is not adoption, by the way.

00:05:08.880 It's not as though I found myself in a tricky situation and I felt that I couldn't raise

00:05:12.660 the child, but I didn't want to kill the child.

00:05:15.020 So I gave it up for adoption.

00:05:16.160 That's a wonderful selfless act.

00:05:17.440 This is, I wanted some bucks so that I could entertain myself.

00:05:21.220 So I sold my eggs so that children might be created who will never have the opportunity

00:05:28.420 to know their mother.

00:05:29.460 Ha ha ha.

00:05:29.980 Isn't that funny?

00:05:31.240 Or, or maybe they're just in a freezer somewhere.

00:05:34.980 Maybe they have been fertilized, but you know, because of all these other kooky ways that

00:05:39.360 people have children now, uh, they, they have these fertilized embryos and we just turn

00:05:43.600 them into souls on ice.

00:05:44.660 Ha ha ha ha.

00:05:45.300 Isn't that funny?

00:05:46.240 Oh, you're so funny.

00:05:47.140 Tiffany Haddish.

00:05:48.000 What a, what a great culture we're living in.

00:05:50.520 Oh my goodness gracious. 0.97

00:05:52.520 What this does, forget about what it does for the kids.

00:05:56.840 That's cruel and selfish enough already.

00:05:59.440 But what it says then is that motherhood is just, you're just a womb or you're just some

00:06:06.280 eggs.

00:06:07.220 Consider what's happening right now.

00:06:08.700 There's a process that is very popular among wealthy people where if wealthy people either

00:06:14.480 can't conceive on their own or if there are biological reasons why they can't in our culture,

00:06:20.480 they will purchase the eggs from one woman and then rent out another woman's womb and then 0.99

00:06:28.420 create a designer baby for their own pleasure and gratification. 0.67

00:06:31.960 Pretty backwards, isn't it?

00:06:34.600 Isn't the idea that you love someone else and so in this act of love, you create another

00:06:40.260 person and this person is an actual physical representation of your love.

00:06:43.700 That's a selfless act.

00:06:45.500 But today what we're doing is exactly the opposite of that.

00:06:51.940 And I guess the worst part of it, I mean, you know, what's actually going on is pretty

00:06:56.360 bad.

00:06:57.240 But what's even more shocking to me is how people don't see it for what it is.

00:07:01.760 How people are just giggling about it.

00:07:03.100 Oh, tee hee hee. 0.88

00:07:04.160 Yeah, I sold my children for money.

00:07:06.700 That's what this woman's saying. 1.00

00:07:08.420 Yeah, and they're not going to know their mother, you know, but I got some money.

00:07:13.860 So isn't that great?

00:07:14.760 Ha ha ha, ha ha ha.

00:07:16.560 Meanwhile, in PBS, PBS NewsHour has a piece out on Mother's Day, or I suppose a couple

00:07:23.340 days before Mother's Day, but it was obviously for Mother's Day, to really, to celebrate women

00:07:28.180 by saying, quote, it's time to recognize the damage of childbirth, doctors and mothers

00:07:34.340 say.

00:07:35.680 Now, when you think about childbirth, I'm sure you were celebrating your mother this weekend.

00:07:40.660 When you're thinking about childbirth, do you think of damage and harm and injury, or do

00:07:46.800 you think of giving life?

00:07:49.420 The exact opposite of injury and harm.

00:07:53.260 Probably it would be the latter.

00:07:54.880 And here's how I can prove it.

00:07:56.340 There is a logical flaw in this argument from PBS.

00:08:01.040 It's time to recognize the damage of childbirth, doctors and mothers say.

00:08:05.000 First paragraph.

00:08:05.740 Generations of women have quietly endured the messy business of giving birth, even after reading 1.00

00:08:11.920 stacks of pregnancy books, faithfully following their healthcare provider's advice, and successfully

00:08:16.160 delivering a healthy baby.

00:08:17.940 Women often enter motherhood with what suddenly feels like a broken body. 1.00

00:08:22.060 I didn't even need to read the whole paragraph.

00:08:24.740 Do you see the logical flaws in the first sentence?

00:08:29.640 Generations of women have endured the messy business of childbirth. 1.00

00:08:32.980 I'm not saying that childbirth isn't messy, but I'm saying if your argument here is that

00:08:36.360 childbirth damages, that it harms, that it causes injury, you can't begin your argument

00:08:42.600 with generations of women. 0.91

00:08:43.940 It's just like how Ronald Reagan made the observation that everyone who is in favor of abortion has already

00:08:51.400 been born.

00:08:52.360 Or you'll notice there are people, usually on the left, who are worried about the population

00:08:57.060 bomb.

00:08:57.460 They always talk about overpopulation.

00:09:00.420 And notice their solution is never to take themselves out of the population.

00:09:04.060 Their solution is always to take other people out of the population. 0.97

00:09:07.260 Because you can't make that argument and say childbirth is bad.

00:09:10.540 Childbirth is terrible.

00:09:12.120 Say generations of women. 1.00

00:09:15.340 Yes.

00:09:15.700 Is there pain associated with childbirth?

00:09:17.360 Yes, there is.

00:09:18.000 There is pain and sacrifice involved in anything that is giving of yourself that is productive

00:09:23.320 in this world.

00:09:24.100 But nobody wants to give of themselves anymore because we all want to get something for nothing

00:09:28.300 about me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me.

00:09:31.820 This is part of a cultural revolution.

00:09:34.420 Think about in the past.

00:09:37.320 I'm not saying that long ago.

00:09:38.420 I'm saying like 30, 40 years ago.

00:09:39.980 If you said, I want to just pursue my own pleasure and do whatever is good for me and

00:09:47.240 not care about anybody else, that would be considered bad.

00:09:52.340 That would be considered vicious. 0.56

00:09:53.800 That would be considered dishonorable.

00:09:55.560 Today, this is considered a virtue.

00:09:57.420 This is a good thing, right?

00:09:58.560 We've made pride the ultimate virtue, for goodness sakes.

00:10:00.660 Meanwhile, in the past, 40 years ago or so, if you said things like honor, virtue, selflessness,

00:10:14.240 sanctification, these sorts of words, they would have meant something.

00:10:17.920 They would have been something that we all aspire to.

00:10:19.440 Today, those words, if you say them to most people on the street, they will look at you

00:10:24.060 like you've got three heads.

00:10:25.320 They don't make a lot of sense.

00:10:26.480 It is part of a cultural revolution to upend the traditional basis of our culture, the traditional 0.59

00:10:32.660 practices of our culture.

00:10:33.880 Just up in our neighbor to the north, America's hat over the past week, that pastor, that Polish 1.00

00:10:40.280 pastor up there, whose name is Artur Pawlowski, leave it to the Poles to always be defending

00:10:45.800 freedom and Western Christendom.

00:10:50.180 Pawlowski was arrested in the middle of a street by a SWAT team in Canada.

00:10:55.760 For inciting people to go to church.

00:11:00.720 See, and that looks like a fairly busy road.

00:11:06.360 There are the cops, hands behind his head.

00:11:08.800 He's on his knees.

00:11:12.460 He's wearing a suit to go preach to his congregation.

00:11:16.940 Hello, friends.

00:11:17.920 This is Pastor Artur Pawlowski.

00:11:19.060 If you're watching this video, that means they have successfully arrested me and I am in jail.

00:11:25.640 If you would like to support me, if you would like to support Rebel News and the legal team

00:11:31.360 that is trying their best to get me out of this trouble, please go to safeartur.com.

00:11:37.440 Please donate, please help, help me, help my family, help my wife and my children to get me out of this horrible, illegal situation.

00:11:48.840 Please go to safeartur.com and get me out of this.

00:11:52.340 So this is the pastor.

00:11:54.600 We played him on the show a month or so ago, whenever, whenever he had his first stand against these people.

00:11:58.780 And he wouldn't let the, the public health police come into his congregation.

00:12:03.620 And he called them Gestapo and he called them Nazis and communists.

00:12:08.020 And, you know, the polls know a thing or two about, about this topic.

00:12:13.080 This is Canada.

00:12:14.020 It's not the United States yet.

00:12:15.340 But it's going to create a very strange situation here because if the cops ever start doing that in America, God forbid.

00:12:22.940 Is the right going to back the blue?

00:12:25.660 I'm not going to back the blue if the blue is, is arresting pastors.

00:12:29.740 I don't think they would do that in America.

00:12:31.900 I don't think they would want to do that in America.

00:12:34.500 But could it come down to that?

00:12:36.920 What those cops are, they are behaving like Gestapo.

00:12:39.300 That's, how else do you describe it?

00:12:41.060 To arrest someone for, for holding a church service.

00:12:45.780 They don't arrest other people for holding other gatherings.

00:12:49.560 This is specific.

00:12:51.280 The church is closed and the marijuana dispensaries remain open in California during the lockdown.

00:12:56.140 This is not about a uniform standard.

00:12:58.920 It's about creating a new ranking of priorities and an, and an upending of the culture.

00:13:04.940 And if we don't stand up against it now, it's, it's not like that's some video out of, you know, 19, 1930s Europe or, or Russia.

00:13:14.600 That's happening right now, right up to the north, just last week.

00:13:18.720 Sort of thing makes a, makes a man just want to relax, forget about all this stuff.

00:13:24.280 Have a good time.

00:13:25.720 One great way to do that is with Redneck Riviera Whiskey.

00:13:29.600 If you believe in standing for the national anthem or supporting our military and first responders, or if you want to celebrate a job well done, check out Redneck Riviera Whiskey.

00:13:39.800 That is your whiskey, sourced from America's heartland, blended and bottled in Kentucky.

00:13:45.280 Redneck Riviera Whiskey is the smoothest whiskey available.

00:13:49.140 From the glass to the cork and the whiskey inside, it is 100% made in America.

00:13:53.200 The brand is also 100% owned by John Rich, my pal John Rich, the country singer.

00:13:57.300 This is not just another celebrity endorsement where, you know, some company has, has the booze and then the celebrity comes in, smiles for a photo and then doesn't know anything about it.

00:14:05.820 John is intimately involved.

00:14:06.980 I was at his house the other day and he's got very nice selection of booze.

00:14:10.680 So I tried the Redneck Riviera Whiskey and it was my favorite thing.

00:14:13.980 That's all I was drinking all night.

00:14:15.380 Go check it out.

00:14:16.060 For more information or to find a store near you, visit redneckriviera.com.

00:14:20.260 That is redneckriviera.com.

00:14:22.600 Drink American. 0.97

00:14:23.620 Redneck Riviera is a distilled spirit with 40% ABV.

00:14:26.040 Redneck Spirits Group is responsible for this ad and is located at 10917 Old Herod's Woods Circle, Louisville, Kentucky, 40223.

00:14:34.440 So you've got the police force in Canada arresting a pastor for holding a church service because he is violating the state-established church of secular progressivism.

00:14:46.600 He's violating the true priests of Canada who are the public health experts.

00:14:50.680 And we've got the same thing here, folks.

00:14:52.580 It's not quite as far down the line as it is in Canada, but we've got the same sort of thing here, the same kind of rules on the books, the same kind of punishments, albeit to a lesser degree.

00:15:03.440 Meanwhile, in the digital realm, the liberal establishment is quashing any and all dissent.

00:15:08.820 You saw this just last week when President Trump lost his Twitter account again.

00:15:15.560 This, I felt, was really when big tech crossed the Rubicon in January 7th, January 8th, when the big tech companies deplatformed the duly elected sitting president of the United States.

00:15:27.000 That's what they did.

00:15:27.640 And you think, well, if the oligarch, nerd, weirdo, hipster Rasputin types in Silicon Valley can censor the sitting president of the United States, they control 90% of the flow of information.

00:15:42.200 They control our public square.

00:15:43.580 So if they censor him, that's it.

00:15:45.520 That's, that is a political action.

00:15:47.840 It's not just a private company or a cultural action.

00:15:50.080 That's a political action.

00:15:52.120 Well, what won't they do?

00:15:54.360 Certainly they're going to censor all of us.

00:15:55.720 So President Trump tried to work his way around this by setting up a blog on his website and then creating a little share button so you can share it to the various social media companies and then creating a Twitter account for the blog.

00:16:08.400 But they took that down right away too.

00:16:10.600 They're not going to let him come back.

00:16:12.340 We talked about this last week when Facebook outsourced its decision to the oversight board.

00:16:18.020 So Facebook censors President Trump.

00:16:20.380 Facebook has a quasi-independent oversight board.

00:16:23.580 It's independent mostly of corporate interference, but politically it's very far left wing.

00:16:28.660 So the oversight board is then supposed to rule on whether or not you can keep Trump banned.

00:16:32.460 First of all, if you ban him for the last part of his presidency, then who really cares if you let him back on two years later?

00:16:38.480 But even so, the oversight board decided to punt that question back to corporate.

00:16:43.020 Because no one really wants to take responsibility for censoring Trump.

00:16:46.520 They all want to censor Trump, but no one wants to take responsibility for it because it is such an obvious and outrageous political power grab.

00:16:54.220 And what this reminds us, and it should especially remind right-wingers this, is we can't just privatize everything.

00:17:01.500 You can't just privatize your politics.

00:17:03.980 The reason that Facebook even has to make these content decisions about censorship and what's beyond the pale, and we have to all acknowledge, look, there are some things that you're just not allowed to say.

00:17:16.100 This has been true from the beginning of the country.

00:17:17.800 This has always been true in the United States. 0.66

00:17:19.600 And it's been true in every country in the history of the world.

00:17:22.980 You can't engage in things like fraud.

00:17:25.180 You can't engage in things like sedition to greater or lesser degrees.

00:17:30.760 You can't engage in things like direct threats.

00:17:32.780 You can't, for a long time in this country, you couldn't engage in obscenity.

00:17:35.880 So there are always things that are off limits.

00:17:38.120 If the politics is not going to make that decision, then the private companies, semi-private companies are.

00:17:44.860 Facebook is going to do it.

00:17:46.040 So the response to this for conservatives is we need to set these sorts of standards through our politics.

00:17:51.580 Or else the left is going to set the standards for us.

00:17:54.860 Instead of hauling off perverts and communists with our police like we did in the 1950s, you know, busting up, I don't know, porn theaters in New York or busting up communist rings in Washington, D.C.

00:18:11.400 Now what we're seeing is police busting up churches.

00:18:15.040 It's going to happen.

00:18:16.200 We are going to have standards.

00:18:17.440 So what standards are they going to be?

00:18:18.980 Who's going to set it?

00:18:21.580 What are we conserving and how are we going to do it?

00:18:25.000 Rahm Emanuel, a former mayor, former mayor of Chicago, former political operative for the Clintons, for Obama, White House chief of staff, you know, a real machine politician type guy.

00:18:38.220 Rahm Emanuel took to the Sunday shows this weekend to lament the fact that the GOP is no longer a conservative party.

00:18:46.880 I'm sure he was so, so sad about this.

00:18:48.780 Jane has said the word, you know, conservative agenda. 0.96

00:18:53.360 First of all, this is not a conservative party.

00:18:55.420 You want to look at a conservative party, pick up John Boehner's book, pick up former President Bush's book.

00:18:59.980 That's conservative.

00:19:00.880 This is a reactionary party built on both resentment and race.

00:19:05.780 That is where the party's going.

00:19:06.700 Pause.

00:19:08.400 I do not want to hear about the politics of resentment and race from the party of Black Lives Matter.

00:19:18.760 I don't want to hear any accusations that the GOP is now focused on race and resentment from Democrats who actively encouraged race rioters last year that burned down the country.

00:19:34.800 And they're still doing, they're still encouraging this sort of thing.

00:19:38.580 So that, like so much of what Rahm Emanuel says, completely disingenuous.

00:19:43.340 It's what the left often does.

00:19:44.880 He is projecting onto his opponents that which he does himself.

00:19:48.060 Okay, fair enough.

00:19:49.120 But then listen to his point about what true conservatism is.

00:19:53.700 When you think of true conservatism, what names pop to mind?

00:19:58.000 What do I know?

00:20:01.460 Maybe Edmund Burke, maybe John Adams, maybe Ronald Reagan.

00:20:07.540 It's a little complicated, but maybe Ronald Reagan.

00:20:10.040 Maybe, gosh, I don't know.

00:20:12.620 A lot of people who are very conservative in American history.

00:20:16.500 Does John Boehner come to mind?

00:20:18.980 Does George W. Bush come to mind?

00:20:21.820 These guys are famously not that conservative. 0.98

00:20:25.120 John Boehner would call the more conservative members of his party lunatics, wackos. 0.92

00:20:33.340 He called Ted Cruz the Lucifer himself or something like that. 0.86

00:20:37.360 George W. Bush comes from the most famous liberal Republican family in the country.

00:20:42.820 Even more famous than the Romneys.

00:20:44.980 When Bush ran for president, he positioned himself as a compassionate conservative.

00:20:49.660 As if to say, regular conservatives are not compassionate.

00:20:53.180 Regular conservatives are cruel and heartless and inhumane.

00:20:56.640 But I'm a compassionate conservative.

00:20:58.120 Just like his father, who was part of the liberal wing of the Republican Party.

00:21:01.800 That's why he was part of Reagan's ticket.

00:21:04.340 Reagan was the conservative.

00:21:05.720 Bush was the liberal.

00:21:07.260 They come together and unify the party.

00:21:09.060 When Bush became president, he said, we're going to create a kinder, gentler nation.

00:21:12.840 Nancy Reagan said, kinder and gentler than whom?

00:21:15.720 You're calling us unkind and ungentle.

00:21:18.280 But you hear this.

00:21:20.860 First of all, people like Rahm Emanuel were viciously attacking Boehner and Bush while they

00:21:25.660 were in office because they'll attack any Republican.

00:21:27.900 But now they're saying these are the good Republicans.

00:21:29.880 And this is why you got to tune out what John Boehner is saying right now.

00:21:33.820 This is why you got to tune out what George Bush is saying right now.

00:21:36.660 Because these are the liberals' favorite conservatives.

00:21:40.760 What someone like Rahm Emanuel is saying here is they're doing the conservatism in the right

00:21:45.820 way, which is to put up a little bit of a fight, but ultimately to fail so that we can

00:21:51.160 not only succeed as leftists, but the fake conservatives will legitimize our regime.

00:21:57.820 They're the court jester conservatives.

00:22:00.340 They come into the kingdom of liberalism.

00:22:02.680 They do their little dance, but they don't really threaten the way that the rule is carried

00:22:07.600 out here.

00:22:08.640 Emanuel goes on. 0.76

00:22:09.980 The other piece of this is you talk about an agenda.

00:22:13.080 In 2020, there was no platform.

00:22:15.060 There's no agenda.

00:22:15.820 It's about Donald Trump.

00:22:17.200 You know, parties exist for two reasons.

00:22:19.360 Set out a set of policy principles.

00:22:21.360 They didn't have that in 2020.

00:22:22.460 They still don't have that.

00:22:23.600 Number two, to win elections.

00:22:25.480 It took 90 years to find a president that could both lose the White House, the House, and the

00:22:29.260 Senate.

00:22:29.680 And Donald Trump did that.

00:22:30.920 This is about Donald Trump and his grievances.

00:22:34.540 And the other piece of this that makes no sense to me, you have an election.

00:22:39.180 There are three things that both parties have.

00:22:41.720 The Republicans have redistricting.

00:22:43.220 They have basically restricting voter access.

00:22:47.280 And they are going to also have the ability in this area to cut off any part of history

00:22:54.960 they have.

00:22:57.320 I don't even know what he's, what point is he trying to make at the end?

00:23:00.220 They're going to try to, the Republicans are cutting off their history.

00:23:04.080 They want to deny their history.

00:23:05.860 This from the party of the KKK, this from the Democratic Party. 0.85

00:23:09.980 How are Republicans denying their history?

00:23:11.560 If anything, Republicans are returning to their history.

00:23:14.420 The embrace of protection and trade, the embrace of tariffs to some small degree, is not

00:23:20.440 an abdication of the conservative agenda or the Republican agenda.

00:23:24.480 That's a return to it.

00:23:25.380 The Republican Party was founded on tariffs.

00:23:27.300 Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican president, said, show me a tariff, I'll show you the greatest

00:23:30.700 nation on earth.

00:23:32.440 So even on his point of the agenda, he's just completely wrong.

00:23:36.540 The Republicans did have a real agenda in 2016 and 2020.

00:23:39.660 It was the first time they've articulated a serious agenda in my lifetime.

00:23:43.140 It was just not an agenda that the left approved of.

00:23:48.320 For most of my lifetime, I'm thinking McCain, I'm thinking Romney, I'm thinking Bush.

00:23:52.680 The Republican agenda was basically indistinguishable from the Democrat agenda on things like immigration,

00:23:59.020 on things like trade, on things like the welfare state.

00:24:04.320 I mean, you're kind of, the Republicans want to shrink it a little, but they didn't end up

00:24:07.760 shrinking it.

00:24:08.300 Bush actually grew it, right?

00:24:09.820 McCain actually preserved it.

00:24:11.540 Romney actually grew it when he was governor of Massachusetts.

00:24:14.060 They basically all agreed on everything.

00:24:15.900 Then Trump comes along and he says, yeah, we need to reduce immigration.

00:24:19.360 Immigration is a big problem. 1.00

00:24:20.660 We need to actually reduce it.

00:24:22.300 Yeah, on trade, we're getting ripped off.

00:24:23.680 We have to be more skeptical of these international free trade regimes.

00:24:26.980 He offered an alternative vision.

00:24:30.420 And what the Democrats said, they're trying to pretend that that's not a different vision.

00:24:34.080 But what the Democrats are really saying here is, hold on, wait a second.

00:24:36.980 That actually threatens us.

00:24:38.540 The Trump and Trump supporters views on immigration, on trade, on manufacturing, on national identity,

00:24:46.460 that actually threatens what we want to do.

00:24:49.520 So we need to complete, completely delegitimize that.

00:24:52.360 We need to change various election rules before the 2020 election.

00:24:56.080 I won't even respond directly to what Rahm Emanuel said on that point.

00:24:59.760 Because I don't think YouTube will let me.

00:25:01.600 But they're saying we need to fundamentally overhaul elections now in H.R.1 and S.1,

00:25:07.560 the Corrupt Politicians Act being considered by Congress, which would federalize the elections.

00:25:13.220 They seem really scared.

00:25:14.320 They don't seem very confident, do they?

00:25:17.260 Not because there's no Republican agenda, but because for the first time in decades,

00:25:21.160 there was a substantive Republican agenda.

00:25:23.620 So many people don't know about this stuff.

00:25:25.640 They don't, they just weren't educated into it when they were very, very young.

00:25:29.060 Well, one way that we can fix that for the next generation is Tuttle Twins. 0.99

00:25:32.860 How do you explain economics to a seven-year-old?

00:25:35.600 Should your preteen care about the government?

00:25:38.280 Schools today are not teaching the principles of freedom.

00:25:40.880 History is watered down, key principles omitted altogether,

00:25:43.660 and time and attention are given to things of lesser importance.

00:25:47.380 Woke socialist ideas are creeping into our classrooms and curricula across the country.

00:25:51.680 So our friends over at Tuttle Twins are doing something about it.

00:25:55.240 They have created the Tuttle Twins Show, an animated show that teaches kids principles of freedom,

00:25:59.560 like free market economics, limited government, and free speech.

00:26:02.640 Tuttle Twins just opened an investment round to the public at www.tuttletwins.tv,

00:26:07.780 where anyone can invest in the show and help bring it to life.

00:27:32.540 We'll be right back with a lot more.

00:27:45.900 Democrat Rahm Emanuel says the GOP, it's just not conservative anymore.

00:27:49.920 That's what he says on the Sunday shows.

00:27:51.800 And he's a Democrat, so you should believe him.

00:27:54.780 And he says that we should all listen,

00:27:56.920 all we Republicans should listen to Bush and listen to Boehner, right?

00:28:02.280 That would be good.

00:28:03.440 Because Rahm Emanuel, famous Democrat operative,

00:28:06.520 he has our best interests at heart.

00:28:08.160 It reminds me of this thing.

00:28:09.460 Both parties do it, but it's so saccharine and obviously disingenuous.

00:28:15.240 I would say probably most Republicans have said this at various times.

00:28:17.740 I've probably said it too.

00:28:18.660 Well, they'll say, hey, look, I think there should be a healthy Democrat party.

00:28:24.120 It's just not this one.

00:28:25.980 Look, I know I'm a Republican, but we need a healthy two-party system.

00:28:31.080 We need a healthy Democratic party.

00:28:32.580 And that's why the Democrats need to accept all of my advice

00:28:36.460 for how to make their party stronger.

00:28:38.800 Because look, I really have their best interests at heart.

00:28:41.220 I just think we need a healthy two-party.

00:28:42.700 It's like, no, you don't.

00:28:43.660 You think that the Democrats should be abolished. 0.96

00:28:45.780 You think they're a horrible party who have a horrible vision for our country 0.75

00:28:50.240 and it would be better if none of them showed up to vote

00:28:52.720 or ran for office or whatever and Republicans ran everything.

00:28:56.280 Of course, that's what you think.

00:28:57.300 And vice versa when the Democrats, look, guys, I know I'm a Democrat,

00:29:02.300 but I just think Republicans, you should really listen to John Boehner.

00:29:05.860 That would be great for you.

00:29:08.120 I'm not so sure, Rom.

00:29:09.880 You're not really convincing me. 0.97

00:29:11.600 So, so saccharine and ridiculous. 0.99

00:29:13.180 So it's bad enough when it comes from Democrats. 0.98

00:29:15.040 But then what the Democrats are really saying is listen to our guys.

00:29:20.040 Listen to the Republicans who accomplish nothing other than legitimize the Democratic rule.

00:29:27.640 Guys like Representative Adam Kinzinger, who is a Republican, at least nominally,

00:29:34.420 who spends most of his time going on liberal news outlets and attacking the GOP

00:29:39.220 and specifically attacking the conservatives within the GOP.

00:29:42.220 So Adam Kinzinger goes on the CBS Sunday show and he says the GOP, it's a sinking ship.

00:29:48.920 It's incredible.

00:29:50.660 So Liz Cheney is saying exactly what Kevin McCarthy said the day of the insurrection.

00:29:57.440 She's just consistently been saying it.

00:29:59.960 And a few weeks later, Kevin McCarthy changed to attacking other people.

00:30:04.920 And so I think what the reality is, is as a party, we have to have an internal look

00:30:09.340 and a full accounting as to what led to January 6th.

00:30:12.540 I mean, right now it's basically the Titanic.

00:30:14.480 We're like, you know, in the middle of this slow sink, we have a band playing on the deck

00:30:20.080 and telling everybody it's fine.

00:30:22.020 And meanwhile, as I've said, you know, Donald Trump's running around trying to find women's

00:30:25.460 clothing and get on the first lifeboat.

00:30:27.320 And I think there's a few of us that are just saying, guys, this is not good, not just for

00:30:30.700 the future of the party, but this is not good for the future of this country.

00:30:34.460 We're four months after January 6th, an insurrection, something that was unthinkable in this country.

00:30:40.200 And the message from the people that want to get rid of Liz Cheney is to say, it's just 0.93

00:30:46.160 time to focus on the future and move on.

00:30:48.280 Like this was 10 years ago and we've been obsessed about it since. 0.99

00:30:52.720 January, where to begin with this, this ridiculous person. 0.97

00:30:57.380 January 6th was an insurrection, something unthinkable in this country. 0.98

00:31:02.960 I don't think it was unthinkable.

00:31:04.560 And do you know why I don't think an insurrection was unthinkable in this country?

00:31:08.740 Because the left had been pursuing one for eight months before.

00:31:13.800 No, well, they, on January 6th, the Trumper insurrectionists attacked a government building. 1.00

00:31:19.140 Oh, a government, you mean like the multiple government buildings that BLM burned to the

00:31:22.760 ground during 2020?

00:31:25.160 Well, and they were threatening civilians, were they?

00:31:29.120 I guess they were threatening members of the house.

00:31:31.720 That's the claim, at least, going after, going after citizens.

00:31:37.020 You mean like the many, many citizens from coast to coast that BLM threatened, burned down

00:31:42.220 their homes, burned down their businesses and killed in 2020 like that?

00:31:46.820 Unthinkable.

00:31:48.340 Well, what happened?

00:31:50.320 Because with BLM, dozens of people were killed and countless cities were burned to the ground.

00:31:55.340 But on January 6th, some guy in a horn helmet danced around on the house floor.

00:32:02.300 So what, I'm not excusing that.

00:32:05.140 I think it's bad to dance around government buildings in a horn helmet.

00:32:10.260 I'm really, I'm not.

00:32:10.980 I don't think it's good.

00:32:11.780 I think, frankly, I think they should be punished for it.

00:32:15.000 But they're not comparable.

00:32:16.040 Not only is January 6th not the worst insurrection, worst, most terrible thing, worse than Pearl 0.98

00:32:21.460 Harbor, worse than 9-11.

00:32:23.080 It's not, it's not just that it's, it's that you can't, you can't even compare it to the

00:32:26.780 BLM stuff. 1.00

00:32:27.560 You can't even compare it to what Antifa does regularly.

00:32:30.900 The, what the left has done is so much worse.

00:32:33.380 But Adam Kinzinger doesn't want to talk about that.

00:32:36.320 Because Adam Kinzinger exists, his whole raison d'etre as a, as a conservative, as a Republican,

00:32:42.820 is to attack the GOP and defend the left.

00:32:46.420 He's one of the guys who voted for the impeachment.

00:32:49.820 The one area that I agree with him here is I do think we should have an investigation into

00:32:54.500 what happened on January 6th.

00:32:56.180 Because what we were told in the days right after January 6th is that Republican Trump

00:33:02.600 supporters, they planted bombs, they planted bombs outside the Capitol and at the party

00:33:07.680 headquarters.

00:33:08.520 And they killed people.

00:33:09.720 And they threw fire extinguishers at cops and killed cops.

00:33:13.300 And they, they were violent and they were, they were not only trying to kill people but

00:33:17.320 actually succeeded in killing people.

00:33:18.640 And then what did we learn?

00:33:20.400 What did we learn?

00:33:23.240 The officer who sadly died, died of an unrelated stroke days later.

00:33:28.480 We learned that the only person actually killed in the political violence of that day

00:33:32.780 was a Trump supporter killed by Capitol Police.

00:33:35.780 You hear so much about police brutality when it fits the left-wing narrative.

00:33:41.940 You don't hear about it when it, when it doesn't fit their narrative, when it contradicts

00:33:44.740 their narrative.

00:33:45.380 And what about those bombs?

00:33:47.060 No, we remember there were bombs planted outside the Capitol by, by Trump supporters.

00:33:52.300 And yet we've never heard anything about it.

00:33:54.260 We don't know who planted them.

00:33:55.600 That's it.

00:33:55.940 Just, we don't know.

00:33:58.080 So yeah, I think there should be an investigation.

00:33:59.880 Because the more, the more that there has been an investigation, it has disproved the leftist

00:34:05.100 narrative on it and it has defended the, the conservative line, Adam Kinzinger.

00:34:13.660 But he's defending Liz Cheney.

00:34:14.840 We talked about Liz Cheney last week.

00:34:16.260 I won't get into her too much more.

00:34:17.880 But the, the Liz Cheney battle is kind of a battle for the soul of the Republican party.

00:34:22.520 That's why it matters.

00:34:23.360 No one, no one really cares about the leader of the GOP house conference per se.

00:34:28.300 The, the reason that this battle matters is because it's a fight between the squishes 0.99

00:34:32.120 and the conservatives for the future of the party.

00:34:34.440 And it's gotten complicated because while Liz Cheney represents the neo-conservative wing 0.91

00:34:38.440 of the party, the, basically the liberal imperialist wing of the party, the person that the conservatives

00:34:44.220 put up is this woman, Elise Stefanik, who's actually more liberal than Liz Cheney. 1.00

00:34:47.720 So that, that makes it a little bit difficult.

00:34:50.940 But Kinzinger is going out and defending Cheney because what Cheney and Kinzinger have been spending

00:34:55.080 their last years doing is just going on these left-wing shows and talking to left-wing

00:34:59.380 outlets and writing for left-wing outlets and defending the libs against the conservatives.

00:35:04.180 So Jim Clyburn, a Democrat, has now come out and said that getting, the Republicans getting

00:35:12.060 rid of Liz Cheney is quote, cancel culture. 1.00

00:35:16.200 That's exactly what it's about.

00:35:18.300 You know, I don't agree with Liz on much politically, but you know, that's how we grow as a country. 0.67

00:35:26.600 This whole thing that everybody ought to be marching in lockstep, that is what leads people

00:35:33.400 to destruction.

00:35:34.960 People ought to have a diversity of thought.

00:35:37.700 Diversity is very, very important.

00:35:40.020 We want to limit it to gender and sometimes to race.

00:35:43.860 It is also about thought.

00:35:46.700 And I want to see a strong Republican Party.

00:35:49.480 My parents were Republicans and I would love to see this party honor them.

00:35:53.880 But this party, Republican Party today, is showing so much dishonor to the people who made it

00:36:00.360 possible.

00:36:01.380 The people who died from Abraham Lincoln, kept this party alive on the basis of anti-slavery,

00:36:07.900 which itself was a big lie.

00:36:11.160 And now they're perpetuating it.

00:36:13.860 Now they talk a lot about cancel culture.

00:36:17.640 This is the classic cancel culture.

00:36:21.380 They are perpetrating that which they argue that they're against.

00:36:26.700 Wow, guys, I'm even better than I thought I was.

00:36:30.400 I hate to brag on the show here, but I did not realize when I, when I threw the Clyburn

00:36:36.860 clip in here, I did not realize that he was going to be proving my point about how disingenuous

00:36:43.240 it is when people from other parties talk about how they want your party to be really

00:36:46.320 strong.

00:36:46.840 He just did.

00:36:47.500 He just did my riff.

00:36:48.640 He just, now listen, I'm not a, I don't agree with Liz Cheney, okay?

00:36:54.380 I don't, I think you actually do agree with Liz Cheney on a lot of things, but that's beside

00:36:57.660 the point.

00:36:58.040 I don't agree with Liz Cheney, but I'm just saying, I support a strong Republican Party.

00:37:03.060 No, you don't.

00:37:03.980 You want to see the Republican Party washed away to the sea, never to be heard from again.

00:37:08.800 And you're pretending that you want a strong Republican Party so that you can sound reasonable

00:37:13.500 and moderate, but you don't.

00:37:15.340 You're a partisan Democrat who fights tooth and nail against the Republicans every single

00:37:20.740 chance you get.

00:37:21.560 He then contradicts him.

00:37:22.440 He even did the thing of, and they're bringing shame to people like Abraham Lincoln.

00:37:28.220 The way you know, he actually gave a little bit of a tell in how disingenuous his argument

00:37:32.700 is here because he goes, they're bringing great shame to people like Abraham Lincoln.

00:37:36.340 Follow the, follow the logic.

00:37:37.340 Abraham Lincoln, who founded the Republican Party on anti-slavery, which itself was a lie.

00:37:44.220 Wait, hold on.

00:37:44.780 Wait, where am I?

00:37:47.460 Because you just said the reason that these current Republicans are bad is because they're

00:37:53.720 breaking with the great history of the Republican Party, which was founded on anti-slavery.

00:38:02.080 But, oh, wait a second.

00:38:03.040 I just said the Republican Party was founded on anti-slavery.

00:38:05.180 But that was a lie.

00:38:08.340 Oh, oh, okay.

00:38:09.380 So if it was a lie, so then the, then the new Republicans aren't that bad because they're

00:38:13.100 not betraying the old party because the party was always terrible.

00:38:15.880 Well, no, I'm just, and he ties himself into knots.

00:38:19.640 My big argument against Liz Cheney is that people like Jim Clyburn really like her, or

00:38:23.760 at least are pretending to like her right now because they know that she in a position

00:38:27.940 of leadership weakens the Republican Party.

00:38:29.540 Now, the problem for us right now is that the alternative is possibly worse, at least

00:38:33.000 Stefanik.

00:38:33.680 Can't we just put up a conservative?

00:38:35.700 Can't we put, can't we at least, here are the two things I want.

00:38:40.320 Vaguely conservative, at least, and doesn't spend all of his time attacking his own party.

00:38:47.380 That's, those are the two things I want for someone who is in Republican leadership.

00:38:51.040 So Liz Cheney, actually, she's sort of, you know, moderately conservative. 0.87

00:38:54.960 She's not a total lib, moderately conservative, but she spends all her time attacking the party. 0.94

00:38:58.820 Okay, well, she's got to go then.

00:39:00.500 And Elise Stefanik does not spend her time attacking the party, but she's significantly 0.99

00:39:04.860 more liberal than Liz Cheney. 0.91

00:39:07.180 So can't we, can't you just get like a conservative up there?

00:39:10.420 Like any conservative who doesn't hate his own party, I guess that's too much to ask.

00:39:15.840 This is cancel culture.

00:39:17.140 I guess to Jim's main point here, he's saying this is cancel culture.

00:39:19.960 It's not cancel culture to hold people accountable and to show people consequences for the things

00:39:25.980 they say.

00:39:26.560 When the left uses those kinds of words and says, you know, cancel culture is really about

00:39:30.380 accountability.

00:39:31.000 It's really about consequences.

00:39:32.340 I agree with them.

00:39:33.460 And as far as it goes, yes, people should be held accountable for things they do.

00:39:36.920 People should face consequences.

00:39:38.500 One of the big problems in our culture today is that people don't really face consequences

00:39:41.580 or rather only conservatives face consequences. 0.99

00:39:45.200 Getting back to Kinzinger's stupid point about the worst, most terrible insurrection in history. 0.99

00:39:52.660 A guy who says he, I guess he's sort of conservative, dances around with horns and all of those people 0.99

00:39:59.380 are going to go to prison for a long time.

00:40:02.160 BLM burns down the country. 1.00

00:40:04.320 Very few of them face consequences.

00:40:06.620 That's the problem.

00:40:08.160 Cancel culture is a specific phenomenon.

00:40:09.940 It is when ordinary people are ostracized and face professional and personal reprisals

00:40:18.600 for saying perfectly ordinary and good things, for waving the American flag, for saying,

00:40:25.020 I support cops over criminals.

00:40:28.580 And they get, that's cancel culture.

00:40:31.380 I am, it does not therefore follow that no one should ever be held accountable for anything.

00:40:34.880 When the left says, well, you, you conservatives had cancel culture in the fifties when you

00:40:39.840 put communists in jail.

00:40:41.360 Yes, we did.

00:40:42.140 And it was awesome.

00:40:43.060 It was great.

00:40:43.900 Bring it back, baby.

00:40:45.360 When you've got people working to completely undermine our country and upend our way of life

00:40:50.460 as the card carrying communists were in the 1950s, they were working on behalf of a foreign

00:40:56.200 government, our enemy in the cold war.

00:40:58.100 It is totally right to punish them for that.

00:41:00.800 That's great.

00:41:01.900 Bill Buckley had a great line about this.

00:41:03.260 He's saying, I'll try to do it in my perfect Buckley.

00:41:06.040 He goes, you know, I'm, I'm not saying that, uh, communists ought to be thrown in prison,

00:41:12.060 but I'm not saying that they have any right not to be thrown in prison either.

00:41:16.040 Totally right.

00:41:16.760 I absolutely agree with that.

00:41:18.400 Yes.

00:41:18.780 Because communists waving the, the hammer and sickle are different than Americans waving

00:41:23.560 the star spangled banner.

00:41:25.800 The substance matters too.

00:41:27.780 This, this question of symbolism is, is really important here. 0.99

00:41:31.980 We're getting so dumb. 0.94

00:41:32.800 There was a judge in Maryland, Maryland district court judge on Wednesday, banned court employees 0.97

00:41:38.540 from wearing apparel that have thin blue line designs because the, you know, the thin blue

00:41:44.220 line is, it's the American flag with the blue through it.

00:41:47.500 And it says, yeah, I support the cops over the criminals.

00:41:49.580 And, uh, you know, the more we see videos of people in Canada, you know, cops in Canada

00:41:53.080 arresting pastors, I think the less likely we were going to be to just reflexively support

00:41:57.680 the blue.

00:41:58.040 But here in America, yes, we support the cops over the criminals.

00:42:01.040 The left supports the criminals over the cops.

00:42:02.820 The right supports the cops over the criminals.

00:42:04.520 The reason I don't like the thin blue line symbol too much is it's actually a violation

00:42:08.440 of flag code.

00:42:09.320 It's a transformation of the American flag in a way that I think is actually somewhat

00:42:12.700 disrespectful.

00:42:13.440 But I, I support the idea.

00:42:15.200 The judge says, no, no thin blue line stuff.

00:42:18.660 No, we support the cops.

00:42:20.020 Back the blue stuff.

00:42:20.700 Now, I don't know.

00:42:24.560 Do you think that if an employee at the court wore a button that said Black Lives Matter,

00:42:30.080 do you think that would be prohibited?

00:42:32.420 I don't know.

00:42:33.160 Maybe it would.

00:42:34.840 But we, we know that in other places, there have been plenty of news stories about other

00:42:38.640 corporations, about other organizations where you can wear the BLM stuff, but you can't

00:42:45.500 wear the back of the blue stuff.

00:42:46.640 Where you can wear the BLM or even Antifa, or even Che Guevara's face on a t-shirt, but

00:42:52.520 you can't wear a MAGA hat.

00:42:54.980 Only some of the symbols are being banned because those symbols are reflect, are reflections

00:42:59.800 on our standards and our standards are changing and conservatives don't have any language with

00:43:04.960 which to describe this.

00:43:06.140 They don't have it yet because we've been left speechless, controlling words, controlling

00:43:09.060 minds.

00:43:09.380 It's the title of my book, which is available now for pre-order.

00:43:12.640 If you want a way out of this, I strongly recommend taking a look at the book.

00:43:16.640 Give you a great example on, on the substance of these politics, right?

00:43:22.440 So Democrats have earmarked millions of dollars in this upcoming spending bill for all of their

00:43:28.860 pet projects.

00:43:29.960 Millions and millions of dollars.

00:43:31.520 Here's just a list of, of some of them.

00:43:33.800 Million bucks for a cultural placemaking initiative designed to celebrate the history and culture

00:43:40.500 of black Los Angeles by representative Karen Bass of California, an actual communist, a

00:43:46.720 woman who actually worked for communist organizations for a very long time and visited communist places

00:43:52.200 and defended them.

00:43:53.460 I'm not, I'm not being hyperbolic at all.

00:43:55.160 When you call Karen Bass a communist, the project is described as an innovative 1.3 mile

00:44:00.320 public private streetscape improvement to celebrate black culture.

00:44:02.800 It's so, it's so cliche at this point that I won't, I don't, I will say it.

00:44:10.020 Imagine if you had a million dollar project to celebrate white culture. 0.84

00:44:13.760 Imagine what would that do?

00:44:15.220 It'd be, oh my gosh, the international headlines, the riots that that that would provoke.

00:44:21.980 But what about the Hispanics? 0.97

00:44:23.260 They don't get a million bucks to celebrate their culture.

00:44:25.260 What about the Asians? 0.74

00:44:26.020 They don't get to celebrate their culture.

00:44:27.220 What about the Italians?

00:44:28.060 The most persecuted minority ever in the history of America.

00:44:31.640 What about that?

00:44:33.980 No, no, no, no.

00:44:35.120 Okay.

00:44:35.420 Million dollars for, to celebrate black culture.

00:44:38.680 In Wisconsin, Democrat rep Mark Poken is asking for a million bucks for a 55,000 square

00:44:43.820 foot space for black enterprise, art, history, performance, and culture.

00:44:47.800 Okay.

00:44:47.960 So another specifically racialist, black, artistic thing.

00:44:54.900 Illinois rep Sherry Bustos asking for three quarters of a million dollars to create a youth

00:44:59.080 equity center to help children address the necessary social determinants of health to

00:45:04.280 be successful.

00:45:04.760 I don't even know what that means.

00:45:05.780 I assume this is just a complete slush fund.

00:45:08.240 Rep Hakeem Jeffries, who's, who's, I believe it's his uncle, Professor Jeffries, who I talk

00:45:14.500 about in my upcoming book, Speechless Controlling Words, Controlling Minds, available now for pre-order.

00:45:18.600 Jeffries had this, that was a little bit late on the ding, but that's okay.

00:45:21.600 That's all right.

00:45:22.120 I still remember.

00:45:22.760 It's an important one.

00:45:23.420 Jeffries had this idea that there were sun people and ice people and that the black people 0.98

00:45:28.660 are the sun people and they're good and they have melanin and the whites are savages. 0.96

00:45:33.040 They're ice people. 0.98

00:45:34.140 Nick Cannon, the actor, carried this ridiculous ideology into the 21st century recently and 0.96

00:45:40.580 sort of got a slap on the wrist for it.

00:45:42.040 So Jeffries is his nephew, his relative.

00:45:45.120 He's requesting three quarters of a million bucks for a program for, quote, inclusion and

00:45:50.240 health, healthy discussions around difficult issues such as racism, gender discrimination,

00:45:54.540 cultural bias.

00:45:55.040 So again, just a slush fund for nonsense.

00:45:57.080 Donald Payne Jr. earmarks over a million dollars for the Center for Child and Human Development

00:46:02.480 for blah, blah, blah, meaningless jargon.

00:46:06.020 Rep Barbara Lee asking for a million bucks to provide culturally relevant medical services

00:46:11.680 to the black community.

00:46:12.640 What does that mean, culturally relevant?

00:46:14.260 I don't know.

00:46:14.680 Sounds a little suspect to me.

00:46:16.680 Same thing, another million bucks, another half million bucks, another half million bucks,

00:46:20.980 another quarter million bucks.

00:46:22.920 The list goes on.

00:46:24.740 What's the Republican response to this?

00:46:26.840 The Republican response to these slush fund projects is, wow, look at all this crazy wasteful

00:46:33.900 spending.

00:46:35.200 Wow.

00:46:35.720 If you elect us, we won't spend any of that money for, for our priorities.

00:46:41.480 Wow.

00:46:42.100 We'll, and actually they probably will.

00:46:43.460 They'll just, they'll just give lip service to opposing it.

00:46:47.420 Wow.

00:46:47.840 Look how kooky this is.

00:46:48.920 That's all the Republican responses.

00:46:50.780 The Republican response should be elect us. 0.80

00:46:54.020 And you see all that money that the Democrats are going to spend on their nonsense.

00:46:57.860 We're going to take all of that money and we're going to spend it on good things.

00:47:02.640 But what about the debt and deficit?

00:47:03.960 Yeah, we have to deal with that.

00:47:05.160 I agree.

00:47:05.700 But politics is downstream of culture to quote Andrew Breitbart and to quote a lot of the

00:47:10.020 people who would oppose this sort of a plan.

00:47:12.040 We need to take the money that is going to be spent.

00:47:16.060 There's no, you're not going to reduce the spending.

00:47:18.260 It's just not going to happen.

00:47:19.440 Not in our current culture.

00:47:21.220 If Ronald Reagan couldn't do it, you can't do it either.

00:47:25.140 Take the money that is already going to be spent because money is power, right?

00:47:30.780 Money is political power.

00:47:32.020 Take that and put it into good things.

00:47:33.860 Put it into the 1776 commission.

00:47:35.760 Put it into the 1620 center for American history celebrating the pilgrims.

00:47:42.480 Put it into the George Washington center for justice and liberty and true equality under

00:47:48.760 the law.

00:47:49.620 Wow, wouldn't that be great?

00:47:51.320 We need to flex political power, which means spending money because that's where the political 0.99

00:47:58.580 power is expressed on good things.

00:48:01.340 I'm not saying you oppose the black cultural center with a white cultural center.

00:48:08.660 That's not what I'm saying.

00:48:09.560 I'm saying you oppose the black cultural center with the George Washington mural for how great 1.00

00:48:16.240 America and Christianity and our traditional culture is.

00:48:20.880 Do that.

00:48:22.000 That will help.

00:48:22.980 That will actually change the culture.

00:48:26.620 And then you're doing it through politics because politics and culture can't be totally

00:48:30.960 neatly separated.

00:48:33.320 Of course, that that is a way forward.

00:48:37.520 Unfortunately, our guys basically share the same worldviews as the left.

00:48:41.680 That's just how it works.

00:48:42.500 Caitlyn Jenner.

00:48:43.000 I got to get to Caitlyn Jenner.

00:48:44.580 Caitlyn Jenner just came out for a path to citizenship. 0.70

00:48:47.900 California's labor force includes 1.75 million undocumented immigrants.

00:48:53.440 Should they have a path to citizenship? 0.67

00:48:56.620 I would hope so.

00:49:00.040 I am for legal immigration.

00:49:03.200 OK, what's been happening on the border was honestly one of the reasons I decided to run

00:49:10.720 for governor.

00:49:11.880 I was watching people dying come across the river, kids in cages, whatever you want to

00:49:19.460 call them.

00:49:20.020 They should have a chance at citizenship.

00:49:21.840 Absolutely.

00:49:22.520 Yeah.

00:49:23.020 Yeah, they should.

00:49:23.540 Why, why are Republicans going to vote for this guy?

00:49:29.560 Not only is he supporting amnesty for illegal aliens, the issue, right? 0.50

00:49:35.600 There are many issues that you call the issue.

00:49:37.480 This is a very, very important one.

00:49:40.340 Would give Democrats a huge electoral advantage, maybe a lock.

00:49:44.140 It's such a, such an injustice.

00:49:46.300 It's such a violation of the law.

00:49:48.080 It's so encourages more illegal immigration.

00:49:50.480 And not only that, but he's parroting the left's talking point on kids in cages.

00:49:55.780 The, the left wing argument, Trump threw the kids in the cages.

00:49:59.740 It's so unjust to detain illegal aliens.

00:50:02.820 He's using the same point.

00:50:03.860 So why would anyone support him?

00:50:08.780 Well, because, you know, that would so own the libs if we showed the Democrats that they're 0.98

00:50:12.780 the real transphobes or whatever.

00:50:15.400 Oh, if we adopted all of their views.

00:50:19.720 Caitlyn Jenner already, already has adopted the left wing, the left's view on very important

00:50:25.100 issues.

00:50:25.680 So what would be the point in electing him?

00:50:28.280 We need to offer an alternative folks, but are we going to be able to do that?

00:50:34.240 Or is our politics just ossified into the Democrats and then the sort of fake Republicans

00:50:41.220 who sort of just exist to prop up the Democrats.

00:50:44.080 And really it's all governed by Dr. Fauci, who will let you get back to normal maybe next

00:50:47.840 year, but probably not even then.
