00:00:30.540 Israel and the Palestinian territories

00:00:32.300 are going up in flames

00:00:34.040 after years of relative peace

00:00:36.640 during the Trump administration,

00:00:38.040 but do not worry.

00:00:39.380 Because President Biden has things under control.

00:00:42.140 He has sent his spokesman out

00:00:44.060 to kindly and politely tell people

00:00:47.260 to please de-escalate.

00:00:49.740 Since last week,

00:00:51.040 he has directed his team to engage intensively

00:00:53.800 with senior Israeli and Palestinian officials

00:00:56.240 as well as leaders throughout the Middle East.

00:00:58.840 His team is communicating a clear

00:01:01.100 and consistent message

00:01:02.320 in support of de-escalation,

00:01:04.560 and that is our primary focus.

00:01:06.940 That's good.

00:01:07.760 That's what does it.

00:01:08.580 That's what brings peace to the Middle East

00:01:10.020 is a clear and consistent message

00:01:12.180 from the team of the president

00:01:14.080 to de-escalate,

00:01:15.600 even though the president's own messaging

00:01:17.400 on his support for Israel's enemies

00:01:19.760 has been a little bit inconsistent,

00:01:21.860 which has probably led us

00:01:23.340 to this very, very moment.

00:01:26.000 Probably not going to be able

00:01:27.020 to breathe easy

00:01:27.640 in that part of the world

00:01:28.400 for a few years.

00:01:29.080 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:01:29.700 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:38.440 Welcome back to the show.

00:01:39.580 My favorite comment yesterday

00:01:40.560 is from Lisa Gentile

00:01:42.060 is being heavily censored.

00:01:43.500 That's the name.

00:01:44.280 The comment is,

00:01:45.980 giving immoral people

00:01:47.280 the liberty to act immorally

00:01:49.720 makes the world a worse place.

00:01:51.800 Yes, of course that's true.

00:01:52.640 It's not even liberty.

00:01:54.400 The idea,

00:01:55.040 this is just what the libs

00:01:56.040 and the squishes say liberty is,

00:01:57.700 where they say that,

00:01:59.040 you know,

00:01:59.440 if you don't allow transvestites

00:02:01.620 to jiggle in front of babies

00:02:03.100 and toddlers,

00:02:04.020 you know,

00:02:04.200 that's depriving Americans

00:02:06.260 of their liberty.

00:02:07.360 You think,

00:02:07.720 I don't think James Madison

00:02:09.060 quite had that in mind

00:02:10.680 when he was,

00:02:11.860 when he was writing

00:02:12.580 the Constitution.

00:02:13.280 I'm not sure that's exactly

00:02:14.340 what Thomas Jefferson

00:02:15.200 was thinking about

00:02:15.940 in the Declaration of Independence.

00:02:18.700 People,

00:02:19.080 they need to just relax

00:02:20.760 a little bit,

00:02:22.000 to have a little bit

00:02:23.000 of prudence

00:02:23.760 and see the world

00:02:25.280 a little bit more clearly.

00:02:26.140 One great way to relax,

00:02:27.640 check out First Leaf.

00:03:29.000 What is going on in Israel?

00:03:31.780 I don't know.

00:03:32.260 How much time do we have?

00:03:33.180 We could be here

00:03:34.000 for a very long time.

00:03:35.480 A lot of news outlets

00:03:36.880 are going really, really,

00:03:38.720 really in-depth

00:03:39.740 on exactly what started

00:03:41.560 the conflict,

00:03:42.200 and the left-wing outlets

00:03:43.360 are saying the Israelis

00:03:44.380 started this,

00:03:45.260 and the right-wing outlets

00:03:46.680 are saying it was

00:03:47.440 the Palestinian Arabs

00:03:48.800 and it was because of this

00:03:50.320 and it was because of that,

00:03:51.120 and you could spend

00:03:52.080 a whole lot of time

00:03:52.980 going back through

00:03:53.740 the millennia

00:03:54.420 to find the origin

00:03:56.640 of this particular conflict.

00:03:58.760 For our purposes,

00:04:01.280 what is relevant today

00:04:02.760 is the timing.

00:04:04.700 Why is this breaking out

00:04:05.840 right now?

00:04:06.720 Why were things relatively cool

00:04:08.380 under the Trump administration,

00:04:09.600 but now they've gotten

00:04:10.300 a lot hotter

00:04:10.940 under the Biden administration?

00:04:12.940 It's because of two

00:04:13.920 competing approaches

00:04:15.060 to the Middle East.

00:04:16.780 When John Kerry

00:04:18.420 was Secretary of State

00:04:19.540 before he was gallivanting

00:04:20.940 all over the world

00:04:21.560 trying to stop the sun monster,

00:04:23.240 John Kerry said

00:04:24.320 that there is no way

00:04:26.160 to bring peace

00:04:27.300 to the Middle East

00:04:28.000 without first solving

00:04:29.600 the Palestinian problem.

00:04:31.400 What is the Palestinian problem?

00:04:32.700 Well, you've got this country,

00:04:34.180 Israel,

00:04:34.660 which was created in 1948,

00:04:35.940 and you've got Arabs

00:04:37.600 that are in the region,

00:04:39.000 and then you've got

00:04:39.920 national borders

00:04:41.000 being set all around,

00:04:42.240 and then you've got

00:04:43.620 this group of people

00:04:44.680 that the other countries

00:04:45.720 don't want

00:04:46.380 and that are holding out hope

00:04:48.040 that they can get rid

00:04:48.780 of Israel entirely,

00:04:49.640 and this has created violence,

00:04:52.280 and violence has ebbed

00:04:54.180 and flowed over the years.

00:04:55.860 Why?

00:04:56.680 Again,

00:04:57.420 there is no reason

00:04:58.880 to go any more in depth

00:05:00.820 on that.

00:05:01.740 That way lies madness.

00:05:03.620 The thing that matters

00:05:04.600 for us right now

00:05:05.520 is why were things

00:05:06.760 relatively peaceful

00:05:07.540 under Trump,

00:05:08.300 and why are they

00:05:09.580 getting more violent

00:05:10.500 under Biden?

00:05:11.480 Because Donald Trump

00:05:12.540 sent a clear message.

00:05:13.520 He said the United States

00:05:14.340 is not going to tolerate

00:05:15.240 attacks on the existence

00:05:17.080 of Israel.

00:05:18.120 We're not going to give money

00:05:19.860 to people who hate us

00:05:21.880 in the region,

00:05:22.400 and we're not going

00:05:23.800 to side with Iran.

00:05:26.100 Why is this?

00:05:27.040 Well, very famously,

00:05:28.000 I remember seeing them

00:05:28.780 when I was 11 years old.

00:05:31.520 The images on September 11th

00:05:33.140 of Palestinian Arabs

00:05:34.580 dancing in the streets.

00:05:35.940 If you want the support

00:05:37.060 of the United States,

00:05:37.880 it's not a good idea

00:05:39.120 to dance in the streets

00:05:40.060 in celebration

00:05:40.660 when the World Trade Center

00:05:43.220 is attacked.

00:05:44.140 So,

00:05:45.380 there,

00:05:45.840 but even beyond

00:05:47.260 the Palestinian Arabs,

00:05:48.420 there are lots of places

00:05:50.000 in this region

00:05:50.540 that don't like us very much,

00:05:51.780 notably Iran.

00:05:53.100 The Democrats' strategy

00:05:54.920 on the Middle East

00:05:55.720 was suck up to Iran

00:05:57.560 and suck up

00:05:59.300 to the Palestinian Arabs.

00:06:00.960 And if you focus

00:06:01.720 on the Palestinian issue,

00:06:03.120 that will solve

00:06:04.000 the Middle East.

00:06:05.540 The right took

00:06:06.200 a completely different approach.

00:06:07.840 Donald Trump said,

00:06:08.480 John Kerry,

00:06:09.080 you're wrong.

00:06:09.680 You don't need to solve

00:06:10.460 this Palestinian issue.

00:06:11.500 You're not going to solve

00:06:12.120 this Palestinian issue.

00:06:13.160 So,

00:06:13.420 we're going to go directly

00:06:14.120 to the actual nation states

00:06:15.740 in the Middle East

00:06:16.300 because don't forget,

00:06:17.280 Palestine is not a country.

00:06:18.860 It's that country

00:06:19.540 east of Wakanda

00:06:20.420 and left of Narnia,

00:06:21.520 right?

00:06:21.720 It's not,

00:06:22.580 there is no nation state

00:06:24.060 there called Palestine.

00:06:25.100 So,

00:06:25.420 go to the other places

00:06:26.320 and you'll get peace deals.

00:06:27.260 This is what happened.

00:06:28.860 And Iran

00:06:29.420 is a big issue here.

00:06:31.440 The Obama administration,

00:06:32.680 Biden want to send

00:06:33.360 pallets of cash to Iran.

00:06:35.200 The Trump administration

00:06:36.480 kills Iran's top general,

00:06:38.480 right?

00:06:39.840 Different friends,

00:06:40.840 different allies,

00:06:41.720 different approach

00:06:42.160 to the Middle East.

00:06:42.780 Which one worked out better?

00:06:44.700 We,

00:06:44.960 we have the data.

00:06:46.240 We've got the evidence.

00:06:47.960 Things were much more stable,

00:06:49.980 much more peaceful

00:06:50.680 under Trump.

00:06:51.540 But that is not stopping

00:06:52.740 Democrats

00:06:53.360 from going back

00:06:54.260 to the same old

00:06:55.180 failed strategy.

00:06:57.400 Bernie Sanders tweets out,

00:06:58.780 the United States

00:06:59.420 must call for an immediate

00:07:00.400 ceasefire and an end

00:07:01.500 to provocative

00:07:02.120 and illegal settlement activity.

00:07:04.360 And we must also

00:07:05.380 recommit to working

00:07:06.400 with Israelis

00:07:07.060 and Palestinians

00:07:07.860 to finally end

00:07:09.180 this conflict.

00:07:10.540 I think most people

00:07:11.660 are going to,

00:07:14.740 first of all,

00:07:15.380 they're going to read

00:07:15.740 this tweet and say

00:07:16.200 that Bernie Sanders

00:07:16.800 is blaming Israel here,

00:07:18.380 right?

00:07:19.240 Okay.

00:07:20.760 But they're going to,

00:07:21.620 they're going to read

00:07:22.040 this tweet and they're

00:07:22.540 going to say,

00:07:23.300 what do I care?

00:07:26.020 What do I care as an

00:07:27.280 American about Israel

00:07:28.340 and Palestine

00:07:29.160 and the Middle East?

00:07:30.120 Why do we have to be

00:07:30.900 there at all?

00:07:31.480 What is the point of this?

00:07:32.300 Why is our foreign policy

00:07:33.440 dominated by this one

00:07:35.140 region of the world?

00:07:36.400 And they have a good point.

00:07:38.020 The American foreign policy

00:07:39.500 should be pretty simple.

00:07:40.660 Do what is in the interest

00:07:41.720 of the United States,

00:07:42.680 right?

00:07:43.820 Seems simple enough.

00:07:45.400 Now,

00:07:45.920 this gets complicated

00:07:47.020 because we are involved

00:07:49.400 in lots of world affairs

00:07:50.600 and we have alliances

00:07:52.440 and we are dependent

00:07:53.680 on certain places

00:07:54.560 and we,

00:07:56.240 it matters to us

00:07:57.080 if one power gets too big

00:07:58.560 and we want to suppress

00:07:59.300 other powers.

00:07:59.840 So I'm not saying

00:08:00.660 it's as simple as

00:08:01.640 put your head in the sand

00:08:02.460 and hope that everything

00:08:03.080 is okay in the Middle East.

00:08:04.460 But if our foreign policy

00:08:06.740 is to do what is in the

00:08:07.920 interest of the United States,

00:08:09.060 then it would seem very much

00:08:10.280 to be in our interest

00:08:11.160 to keep things

00:08:12.260 relatively stable over there

00:08:13.660 without having to send troops,

00:08:14.900 without having to really

00:08:15.600 get involved in any wars.

00:08:16.760 When wars break out,

00:08:17.860 people have to start

00:08:18.500 taking sides,

00:08:19.420 people have to start

00:08:20.020 getting involved.

00:08:20.760 And the fact is,

00:08:21.740 the simple fact is

00:08:22.780 that the policy

00:08:23.900 of legitimizing

00:08:25.500 the Palestinian nation state

00:08:27.620 led to more violence,

00:08:29.980 dragged America

00:08:30.620 into this issue

00:08:31.440 much, much further.

00:08:32.500 And the policy

00:08:33.320 of basically ignoring

00:08:34.680 the Palestinian,

00:08:36.100 Palestinian claims

00:08:37.120 for a nation state

00:08:38.160 and just going directly

00:08:39.160 to our other friends

00:08:40.340 and allies

00:08:40.800 in the Middle East,

00:08:42.060 going to other Arab states

00:08:43.960 in the region

00:08:44.440 and saying,

00:08:44.940 hey, make peace,

00:08:46.240 don't be a jerk,

00:08:47.240 keep things calm,

00:08:48.080 we're going to be back

00:08:48.580 over here on the other side

00:08:49.440 of the Atlantic.

00:08:49.940 That seemed to work out

00:08:51.500 pretty well.

00:08:52.860 So perhaps we should

00:08:53.680 do more of that.

00:08:55.060 But of course,

00:08:56.120 Joe Biden,

00:08:57.400 the liberal establishment,

00:08:59.380 the broad sort of

00:09:00.400 liberal imperialist

00:09:01.960 foreign policy types,

00:09:03.840 they don't want that.

00:09:05.540 They don't seem

00:09:06.100 to want that at all.

00:09:07.480 Big, big takeaway

00:09:08.400 from what's going on

00:09:09.440 in Israel right now,

00:09:10.840 very important to be able

00:09:11.900 to defend yourself.

00:09:12.960 It is pretty amazing

00:09:13.880 to watch you're seeing

00:09:14.600 rockets going into Israel

00:09:15.780 and then Israel

00:09:16.380 just popping them off,

00:09:17.840 just doesn't,

00:09:18.340 doesn't matter.

00:09:19.060 Israel's Iron Dome

00:09:21.020 strategy is pretty amazing.

00:09:23.200 It's just,

00:09:23.720 they're a very well-defended country.

00:09:27.540 Now,

00:09:28.420 nations are not

00:09:29.340 the only entities

00:09:30.460 that have the right

00:09:31.000 to defend themselves.

00:09:31.720 Individuals have the right

00:09:32.460 to defend themselves

00:09:33.200 as well.

00:09:34.320 Senator Cruz

00:09:34.800 made this point yesterday.

00:09:36.660 Senator Cruz

00:09:37.100 was in a hearing

00:09:37.700 on gun control

00:09:38.680 and the libs

00:09:41.120 were making

00:09:41.680 such disingenuous arguments

00:09:43.980 about how,

00:09:44.860 look,

00:09:45.080 we don't want

00:09:45.420 to take your guns.

00:09:46.200 We just,

00:09:46.960 what we want to do

00:09:47.720 is track your guns.

00:09:49.380 We want to know

00:09:49.960 where they are,

00:09:50.800 but we're not going

00:09:51.240 to take them,

00:09:52.380 but we want to know

00:09:52.920 exactly what guns you have,

00:09:53.920 but we're not going

00:09:54.480 to come take them

00:09:54.980 and we need to know

00:09:55.520 exactly where you have them,

00:09:56.420 but we're definitely

00:09:57.160 not going to go

00:09:57.800 steal your guns.

00:09:58.540 And Senator Cruz

00:09:59.860 knocked that argument down.

00:10:02.160 Democrats don't want

00:10:03.160 to address

00:10:03.700 the consistent,

00:10:04.860 proven,

00:10:05.380 empirical failure

00:10:06.300 of gun control laws.

00:10:07.920 They don't work

00:10:08.840 and they make crime worse,

00:10:11.160 but they also want

00:10:12.720 to scapegoat

00:10:13.380 law-abiding citizens.

00:10:15.100 The hobbyists

00:10:15.680 who make homemade guns

00:10:17.820 who are not committing crimes,

00:10:19.420 they want to scapegoat them.

00:10:21.900 But the real issue

00:10:23.200 is in something

00:10:23.800 Chairman Blumenthal

00:10:24.560 made several references to.

00:10:26.920 He referred to these guns

00:10:28.460 as untraceable

00:10:29.620 and that term

00:10:31.320 was meant to be ominous.

00:10:34.680 That's what this is all about.

00:10:36.600 The Democrats

00:10:37.400 on this committee

00:10:38.200 want to trace

00:10:40.700 every firearm in America.

00:10:43.480 They want a registry

00:10:44.400 of every firearm in America.

00:10:46.380 They want a government list

00:10:47.620 of what guns they are,

00:10:50.220 there are,

00:10:50.940 who owns them,

00:10:51.880 how many they own them,

00:10:52.980 and inevitably

00:10:53.720 when you see countries

00:10:54.940 enact registries

00:10:56.460 of firearms,

00:10:57.420 the next step

00:10:58.400 is confiscation.

00:10:59.540 And numerous Democrats

00:11:00.400 on this committee

00:11:01.220 have advocated

00:11:02.360 for confiscating firearms.

00:11:04.480 Of course.

00:11:05.380 This is obviously true.

00:11:06.800 If you believe

00:11:07.720 that Democrats

00:11:08.320 want to trace your guns,

00:11:09.560 they want to know

00:11:09.920 exactly how many you have,

00:11:10.940 they want to know

00:11:11.280 exactly where you keep them,

00:11:12.300 but they're not interested

00:11:13.620 in taking them,

00:11:14.540 then I have got a bridge

00:11:15.860 in Brooklyn to sell you.

00:11:17.400 So Senator Cruz

00:11:18.180 hits that point.

00:11:18.780 He also hit an important point

00:11:19.920 at the top of that,

00:11:20.640 I don't know if you caught it,

00:11:21.600 which is,

00:11:22.680 he addressed this issue

00:11:23.680 of the ghost guns.

00:11:24.600 You're going to hear

00:11:24.960 a lot about this

00:11:25.880 on leftist media.

00:11:27.320 They're going to say

00:11:27.840 that there's this issue

00:11:28.520 of ghost guns.

00:11:29.320 What are ghost guns?

00:11:29.940 It's guns that people

00:11:30.540 make themselves.

00:11:31.900 And the ghost guns,

00:11:32.840 they're a really big problem.

00:11:33.580 We've got to stop

00:11:34.040 the ghost guns.

00:11:34.760 There is zero evidence

00:11:38.400 that ghost guns

00:11:39.720 are involved in crimes.

00:11:42.220 Ever.

00:11:43.800 There's who,

00:11:44.620 for people,

00:11:45.720 I suppose,

00:11:46.640 who do not,

00:11:48.080 who are not involved

00:11:48.740 in firearms,

00:11:49.580 who do not know people

00:11:51.020 who are firearms hobbyists,

00:11:53.360 the people who make ghost guns

00:11:55.340 are kind of nerdy gun types

00:11:58.460 who are just really interested

00:11:59.580 in this,

00:12:00.140 who,

00:12:00.440 in my experience,

00:12:01.640 and I think the data

00:12:02.380 bear this out

00:12:03.020 are the most law-abiding people

00:12:05.840 in the country

00:12:06.400 on the issue of guns.

00:12:07.620 They know exactly

00:12:08.280 what the rules are.

00:12:09.040 They follow them meticulously.

00:12:10.480 They're very responsible

00:12:11.380 with their firearms.

00:12:13.000 And Cruz is saying

00:12:13.900 this is a completely fake issue

00:12:15.640 that Democrats are pushing

00:12:17.200 because they want

00:12:18.220 to take away your guns.

00:12:19.660 I have to,

00:12:20.160 I have to give

00:12:20.640 Senator Cruz credit.

00:12:21.500 I don't just say this

00:12:22.480 because we co-host

00:12:23.720 a podcast together,

00:12:25.640 the Verdict podcast.

00:12:26.980 We're going to have

00:12:27.280 some new episodes

00:12:27.700 of that coming out soon.

00:12:28.500 I don't just say this

00:12:29.500 because he's a friend of mine.

00:12:30.400 And he destroyed

00:12:32.880 the libs yesterday.

00:12:34.240 I don't know how else

00:12:35.340 to put it.

00:12:35.840 There were,

00:12:36.100 there were two hearings.

00:12:37.080 There was the gun hearing,

00:12:38.240 but then he also had

00:12:39.200 to go in to talk

00:12:40.080 about S1 or HR1.

00:12:42.460 It's the Corrupt Politicians Act,

00:12:43.920 that huge election power,

00:12:45.840 power grab

00:12:46.440 that the Democrats

00:12:47.080 are pushing right now.

00:12:47.860 So he's,

00:12:48.360 he's going in between

00:12:49.400 both of these hearings

00:12:50.600 and just knocking down

00:12:52.540 their arguments.

00:12:54.300 It's very,

00:12:55.120 very important

00:12:55.660 because the Democrats

00:12:56.700 have a lot of power

00:12:57.640 right now.

00:12:58.020 It's the only power

00:12:58.760 that we have

00:12:59.560 as this legislation

00:13:00.640 goes through

00:13:01.300 is to expose

00:13:03.220 every aspect.

00:13:04.440 I think the Democrats

00:13:04.980 want to pass this stuff

00:13:05.840 without anybody seeing

00:13:06.720 what's really in it.

00:13:08.000 And Senator Cruz

00:13:08.840 is spelling it all out

00:13:10.360 right in front of them

00:13:11.640 for the TV cameras

00:13:13.200 to put a lot

00:13:14.400 of political pressure

00:13:15.120 because this is all

00:13:15.840 going to come down

00:13:16.380 to two senators,

00:13:17.880 Joe Manchin

00:13:18.500 and Kyrsten Sinema,

00:13:20.160 the two somewhat

00:13:21.240 moderate Democrats

00:13:22.240 who will decide

00:13:23.400 whether or not

00:13:23.980 to get rid of

00:13:24.440 the filibuster,

00:13:25.020 who will then,

00:13:26.260 that decision

00:13:27.300 will then decide

00:13:27.980 whether or not

00:13:29.140 we're going to have

00:13:30.200 a radically different

00:13:31.480 political order.

00:13:32.880 If you want

00:13:33.960 to protect yourself

00:13:34.860 from all these sorts

00:13:37.020 of things

00:13:37.520 and most notably

00:13:38.460 from people

00:13:38.920 who are at your front door,

00:13:39.840 you got to check out Ring.

00:13:40.740 So much is going on

00:13:43.480 Obviously,

00:13:44.020 this has increased

00:13:44.900 for me.

00:13:45.620 If someone's stopping by,

00:13:46.840 if something's going on

00:13:48.040 outdoors,

00:14:35.620 K-N-W-L-E-S.

00:14:38.020 Senator Cruz

00:14:38.920 knocked down

00:14:39.660 a lot of the gun arguments

00:14:40.580 at the gun hearing.

00:14:41.300 He then goes

00:14:41.900 across the street,

00:14:43.120 shows up to the

00:14:44.340 Corrupt Politicians Act hearing.

00:14:46.200 This is a major,

00:14:47.720 major power grab here

00:14:49.040 and the way it's being pushed

00:14:51.180 is it's a way

00:14:52.060 to protect

00:14:53.260 minority voters

00:14:55.040 against the evil

00:14:56.500 Jim Crow

00:14:58.040 racist

00:14:59.720 regulations

00:15:01.620 such as requiring

00:15:02.920 an ID to vote.

00:15:04.960 Voter ID.

00:15:05.700 That's good.

00:15:05.980 That's what this law

00:15:07.220 would do

00:15:07.680 is say

00:15:08.280 states are not

00:15:09.820 not allowed

00:15:10.500 to have voter ID laws.

00:15:12.080 They're going to say

00:15:12.520 states are not allowed

00:15:13.760 to ban murderers

00:15:15.140 from voting.

00:15:16.040 States are not allowed

00:15:16.720 to ban

00:15:17.240 child rapists

00:15:18.700 from voting.

00:15:19.920 States are not.

00:15:20.360 There's so much

00:15:21.340 in this law

00:15:22.020 and Senator Cruz

00:15:23.620 hit on

00:15:24.040 I think the part

00:15:25.020 that politicians

00:15:26.360 are most excited about.

00:15:28.000 The law

00:15:28.580 would give

00:15:29.360 politicians

00:15:30.100 a lot of money.

00:15:32.080 You know

00:15:32.200 as the American people

00:15:33.140 think of needy populations

00:15:34.840 in need

00:15:35.920 of assistance

00:15:36.820 I have yet

00:15:38.720 to encounter

00:15:39.420 a single constituent

00:15:41.200 in Texas

00:15:41.900 or in any of our states

00:15:43.120 that considers

00:15:44.300 politicians

00:15:45.040 anywhere near

00:15:45.720 the top of the list.

00:15:47.260 This bill

00:15:47.960 in addition to being

00:15:48.760 the Corrupt Politicians Act

00:15:50.100 is also the

00:15:51.100 Welfare for Politicians Act

00:15:52.660 because this bill

00:15:54.240 creates a matching

00:15:55.560 program for politicians

00:15:56.800 not just an even

00:15:58.320 matching program

00:15:59.100 a six to one

00:16:00.600 matching program

00:16:02.400 of federal funds

00:16:03.560 flooding into

00:16:05.260 federal elections.

00:16:06.540 Your constituents

00:16:07.320 in every one

00:16:08.600 of your states

00:16:09.380 I'd venture

00:16:10.080 do not want

00:16:11.400 to give

00:16:11.940 your campaigns

00:16:12.940 or my campaigns

00:16:14.260 millions of dollars

00:16:16.060 of federal money.

00:16:17.140 we don't need

00:16:18.580 welfare for politicians

00:16:19.900 and I urge you

00:16:20.660 to support

00:16:21.200 Senator Blunt's amendment.

00:16:23.500 That matching funds

00:16:24.200 is pretty amazing

00:16:24.860 it's six to one

00:16:25.900 so it's six to one

00:16:27.440 of donations

00:16:28.180 under a certain

00:16:29.080 amount of money

00:16:29.540 so six to one

00:16:30.160 of small dollar donations.

00:16:31.700 Senator Cruz

00:16:32.180 did the math

00:16:32.860 yesterday

00:16:33.660 and it turns out

00:16:34.700 he would be

00:16:35.060 the number one

00:16:35.660 recipient in the Senate

00:16:37.060 or in that room rather

00:16:38.420 and he would receive

00:16:40.520 24 million dollars

00:16:41.520 from the government

00:16:42.100 but all these guys

00:16:43.660 would receive millions

00:16:44.580 and millions of dollars.

00:16:46.440 Does that seem

00:16:47.480 like the sort of law

00:16:48.480 that is above board?

00:16:51.020 A law where the senators

00:16:52.140 are legislating

00:16:52.980 that they get

00:16:53.580 millions and millions

00:16:55.020 of dollars

00:16:55.760 of your taxpayer money?

00:16:57.180 I don't think so.

00:16:58.000 He also went out

00:16:58.800 and called the bill

00:16:59.320 Jim Crow 2.0

00:17:00.420 and that's getting

00:17:00.860 a lot of play

00:17:01.580 because they're saying

00:17:02.540 they're looking at it

00:17:03.400 through a racial lens

00:17:04.300 but what was Jim Crow?

00:17:07.160 Yes, Jim Crow

00:17:07.920 had a racial component

00:17:09.040 obviously

00:17:09.580 but the purpose

00:17:10.660 of Jim Crow

00:17:11.160 was not just to be

00:17:11.940 a meanie to people

00:17:12.900 of a different race.

00:17:13.600 The purpose of Jim Crow

00:17:14.860 was to keep Democrats

00:17:16.620 in power.

00:17:18.720 Democrats are the party

00:17:19.700 of Jim Crow.

00:17:20.860 The point of it

00:17:21.440 was to make sure

00:17:22.240 that there was no threat

00:17:23.060 to democratic political rule

00:17:24.300 and that is the point

00:17:25.280 of the Corrupt Politicians Act

00:17:27.200 and one other way

00:17:29.140 they're doing it

00:17:29.540 it's not just that

00:17:30.080 they're taking money

00:17:30.820 it's not just that

00:17:32.020 they're from taxpayers

00:17:32.820 it's not just that

00:17:33.800 they're enfranchising people

00:17:34.860 who should not vote

00:17:35.700 it's not just that

00:17:36.500 they're taking away

00:17:37.120 voter ID measures

00:17:38.360 it's that they're also

00:17:40.340 registering millions

00:17:42.120 of illegal aliens

00:17:43.540 to vote

00:17:43.920 if this law passes

00:17:45.360 millions and millions

00:17:47.060 of illegal aliens

00:17:48.240 will be registered

00:17:49.460 to vote

00:17:49.960 and the Democrats

00:17:50.980 are going to tell you

00:17:51.800 that that is not the case

00:17:53.140 but there's a little

00:17:54.620 hidden provision

00:17:55.320 in that law

00:17:56.040 that proves

00:17:56.980 that that is exactly

00:17:57.920 what they're doing

00:17:58.480 and they know

00:17:59.120 that that's what they're doing.

00:17:59.940 I believe it is the intent

00:18:02.180 of this bill

00:18:03.000 to register to vote

00:18:04.420 millions of illegal aliens

00:18:06.060 for the purpose of

00:18:07.980 diluting the vote

00:18:09.160 of American citizens

00:18:10.280 and making it harder

00:18:11.480 for the people

00:18:12.920 to vote Democrats

00:18:14.080 out of office.

00:18:14.940 This bill right now

00:18:16.140 automatically registers

00:18:17.620 to vote anyone

00:18:18.840 who interacts

00:18:19.640 with the government.

00:18:20.860 So if you get

00:18:21.400 a welfare check

00:18:22.180 if you get

00:18:22.820 an unemployment check

00:18:23.880 if you get

00:18:24.740 a driver's license

00:18:25.720 you attend

00:18:26.640 a public college

00:18:27.360 or university

00:18:28.060 you're automatically

00:18:28.960 registered to vote.

00:18:30.820 Millions of illegal immigrants

00:18:32.380 fall into those categories.

00:18:34.320 If Democratic senators

00:18:35.340 vote as I think

00:18:36.340 most people expect

00:18:37.300 against this amendment

00:18:38.360 it makes clear

00:18:39.940 that their objective

00:18:40.840 is just what

00:18:41.540 any ordinary person

00:18:42.660 reading the bill

00:18:43.260 would think

00:18:43.640 their objective is

00:18:44.660 which is

00:18:45.520 to register millions

00:18:46.840 of illegal immigrants

00:18:47.820 to vote illegally

00:18:48.760 because they believe

00:18:50.180 it benefits them

00:18:51.280 in a political

00:18:52.100 and partisan manner.

00:18:53.440 It obviously

00:18:54.560 does benefit

00:18:55.360 the Democrats

00:18:56.000 in an illegal

00:18:56.640 and partisan manner

00:18:57.460 if illegal aliens

00:18:58.800 get registered to vote.

00:18:59.740 There are just a lot

00:19:00.280 of polls on this

00:19:01.100 that illegal aliens

00:19:03.840 and particularly

00:19:04.500 immigrants from

00:19:05.620 Latin America

00:19:06.400 vote overwhelmingly

00:19:07.840 and identify overwhelmingly

00:19:09.180 with the Democrats.

00:19:10.100 That's just the way it is.

00:19:11.060 I know Ronald Reagan

00:19:11.860 said that Hispanics

00:19:13.840 are Republicans

00:19:14.480 they just don't know it yet.

00:19:16.000 Well we're still waiting.

00:19:17.080 You know that was what

00:19:17.560 1982 that he said that

00:19:18.860 and we're still waiting on it.

00:19:20.340 It hasn't happened.

00:19:21.480 Democrats know this

00:19:22.280 and they're trying

00:19:22.660 to exploit this.

00:19:23.960 In the bill

00:19:24.880 the Democrats

00:19:27.700 would give amnesty

00:19:29.160 to illegal aliens

00:19:31.260 for voting.

00:19:33.300 So the illegal aliens

00:19:34.860 who do vote

00:19:35.640 would not be held

00:19:36.940 legally accountable

00:19:37.920 for voting illegally.

00:19:40.800 Which is an admission

00:19:41.980 that the law

00:19:43.040 will register to vote

00:19:44.160 millions of illegal aliens.

00:19:45.440 If the law is not going

00:19:46.300 to register millions

00:19:47.040 of illegal aliens

00:19:47.780 then good.

00:19:48.220 You don't need to worry

00:19:48.740 about giving them amnesty

00:19:49.620 when they vote.

00:19:51.420 But they know

00:19:52.500 what the effect

00:19:53.380 of this is going to be

00:19:54.160 and they don't want

00:19:54.640 to hold their own

00:19:55.460 illegal voters

00:19:56.260 accountable for doing

00:19:57.380 their bidding.

00:19:58.240 So they're going to

00:19:59.040 let them off the hook

00:19:59.960 as well.

00:20:01.540 And then finally

00:20:02.280 finally in our

00:20:03.760 fangirling here

00:20:05.000 of Ted Cruz.

00:20:06.460 I'm not

00:20:06.700 no one can ever tell him

00:20:08.740 that I was this nice

00:20:09.760 to him on the show.

00:20:10.920 But he did it.

00:20:11.760 He was so great yesterday.

00:20:13.040 He was like the only

00:20:13.960 senator actually

00:20:15.260 senatoring.

00:20:16.860 There's a lot of

00:20:18.000 senators go out there

00:20:18.980 and they what do they

00:20:19.580 shake hands

00:20:20.240 and they smile

00:20:20.940 and they pat people

00:20:21.500 on the back.

00:20:21.840 But Senator Cruz

00:20:22.900 was actually

00:20:23.500 senatoring yesterday

00:20:24.480 introducing lots

00:20:25.500 of amendments

00:20:25.920 knocking down

00:20:26.760 the arguments

00:20:27.260 in this bill

00:20:27.760 getting it all

00:20:28.480 out there in public

00:20:29.280 and he ripped up

00:20:31.280 the Democrats

00:20:31.980 ridiculous lie

00:20:34.080 that they're not

00:20:34.960 for defunding

00:20:35.700 the police.

00:20:36.400 You know you and I

00:20:37.120 are old enough

00:20:37.560 to remember

00:20:38.040 the past year

00:20:39.240 more than a year

00:20:39.920 when Democrats

00:20:40.680 have been shouting

00:20:41.340 from the rooftops

00:20:42.040 that they want

00:20:42.400 to defund the police.

00:20:43.620 Well now

00:20:44.080 they're trying

00:20:44.660 to run away

00:20:45.220 from that position

00:20:46.000 and because the

00:20:47.140 the left controls

00:20:48.000 the media

00:20:48.400 and controls

00:20:48.860 the institutions

00:20:50.420 of communication

00:20:51.040 and also now

00:20:51.820 controls the government

00:20:52.500 they think

00:20:53.440 that they're going

00:20:54.040 to be able

00:20:54.340 to get away

00:20:54.860 with it.

00:20:55.680 Cruz says

00:20:56.300 no.

00:20:58.000 Before you leave

00:20:59.060 Senator Cruz

00:20:59.980 I might just

00:21:00.600 take this occasion

00:21:01.360 to correct a couple

00:21:02.320 of the misrepresentations

00:21:03.600 in what you just said.

00:21:05.840 First of all

00:21:06.460 so far as I know

00:21:07.400 no member

00:21:08.080 of this committee

00:21:08.760 and members

00:21:11.960 of the Senate

00:21:12.980 on this side

00:21:14.220 of the aisle

00:21:14.640 are in favor

00:21:15.440 of defunding

00:21:17.080 the police

00:21:17.800 that is

00:21:18.260 a massive

00:21:19.240 distortion.

00:21:20.700 You just said

00:21:21.120 a moment ago

00:21:21.780 that no Democrat

00:21:23.240 favors abolishing

00:21:24.440 the police.

00:21:25.880 If that were

00:21:26.800 the case

00:21:27.400 why did every

00:21:28.340 single Democrat

00:21:29.080 vote to confirm

00:21:30.160 Vanita Gupta

00:21:30.940 a nominee

00:21:32.060 for the number

00:21:32.620 three position

00:21:33.260 at the Department

00:21:33.800 of Justice

00:21:34.320 who said

00:21:34.980 last year

00:21:35.920 in writing

00:21:36.860 in written testimony

00:21:38.480 before this Senate

00:21:39.460 advocated abolishing

00:21:41.400 the police

00:21:41.820 and she was

00:21:42.240 confirmed by one vote

00:21:43.180 every single Democrat

00:21:44.440 was the necessary vote

00:21:45.920 to confirm

00:21:46.980 a radical

00:21:47.820 who advocated

00:21:49.200 abolishing the police

00:21:50.280 and just this week

00:21:52.040 we're taking up

00:21:52.800 Kristen Clark

00:21:53.460 another radical

00:21:54.340 who has

00:21:55.420 last year

00:21:56.860 in testimony

00:21:57.540 before the Senate

00:21:58.400 advocated abolishing

00:21:59.560 the police.

00:22:00.120 If you don't support

00:22:01.060 abolishing the police

00:22:02.620 why do you keep

00:22:03.300 voting for nominees

00:22:04.160 who advocate

00:22:05.180 abolishing the police?

00:22:06.660 So totally knocks it out.

00:22:08.220 I mean you'd also

00:22:08.900 just have to play clips

00:22:10.140 of every

00:22:12.140 virtually every

00:22:13.100 prominent Democrat

00:22:13.820 politician

00:22:14.460 either

00:22:15.520 implying that they

00:22:17.200 would go along

00:22:18.160 with this

00:22:18.420 defund the police

00:22:19.140 nonsense

00:22:19.460 or that they

00:22:20.160 actually want

00:22:20.980 to defund the police

00:22:21.740 and why do the

00:22:22.420 Democrats want

00:22:23.000 to defund the police?

00:22:25.240 Rather why do

00:22:26.040 the leftist activists

00:22:27.120 want to defund the police?

00:22:28.260 Because the police

00:22:28.740 are the physical

00:22:29.240 representation of

00:22:30.160 our system of justice

00:22:31.080 here and the left

00:22:32.400 wants to totally

00:22:33.300 upend our system

00:22:34.200 of justice.

00:22:34.700 They want to

00:22:34.940 totally revolutionize it

00:22:36.040 so that they can

00:22:37.480 implement their own

00:22:38.780 perverse standards.

00:22:40.040 A process that I

00:22:40.980 described at length

00:22:41.780 in my upcoming book

00:22:42.460 Speechless,

00:22:42.860 Controlling Words,

00:22:43.900 Controlling Minds

00:22:44.420 which is available

00:22:44.980 now for pre-order.

00:22:45.820 Pre-order is doing

00:22:46.320 great so you can

00:22:47.140 pre-order it on

00:22:47.720 Amazon but you can

00:22:48.820 also pre-order a

00:22:49.760 signed first edition

00:22:50.860 copy.

00:22:51.240 The book is at the

00:22:51.900 printer now.

00:22:52.800 It is out of my

00:22:53.420 hands.

00:22:53.860 No more edits will

00:22:54.680 be made and it

00:22:55.760 will be in your

00:22:56.340 hands very soon but

00:22:57.200 only if you pre-order.

00:22:59.840 The defund the police

00:23:02.160 line has gained a lot

00:23:04.840 of traction.

00:23:07.000 You've got to give

00:23:07.860 Colin Kaepernick

00:23:08.560 credit.

00:23:08.900 You do because

00:23:10.900 what started with

00:23:13.140 some jerk

00:23:14.880 football player

00:23:16.760 disrespecting our

00:23:18.100 country and

00:23:18.660 disrespecting the

00:23:19.380 flag is now

00:23:21.440 ending up in

00:23:22.940 legislation.

00:23:24.500 It's ending up

00:23:24.980 being parroted by

00:23:25.720 very prominent

00:23:26.420 politicians even if

00:23:27.460 at this moment they

00:23:28.540 want to run away

00:23:29.100 from it because crime

00:23:29.920 is spiking.

00:23:31.340 This has become

00:23:32.560 mainstream.

00:23:34.020 The calls to

00:23:34.820 defund the police

00:23:35.460 have become

00:23:35.800 mainstream and a

00:23:37.260 lot of it goes

00:23:37.680 back to Colin

00:23:38.320 Kaepernick taking

00:23:39.160 that knee

00:23:39.700 disrespecting the

00:23:40.640 star-spangled banner.

00:23:42.020 Well Colin Kaepernick

00:23:42.900 is back in the news

00:23:43.680 because of what we

00:23:46.520 are told is a grave

00:23:47.820 injustice.

00:23:49.620 Tim Tebow a

00:23:51.640 football player

00:23:53.060 former football

00:23:54.080 player former and

00:23:54.800 future football

00:23:55.360 player is back in

00:23:56.880 the NFL after many

00:23:58.940 years away but

00:24:00.440 Colin Kaepernick just

00:24:02.380 can't catch a break.

00:24:03.600 He's being

00:24:03.960 persecuted for his

00:24:05.840 skin color.

00:24:06.720 He's being

00:24:07.100 persecuted for

00:24:08.880 the systemic

00:24:10.660 historical oppression.

00:24:11.920 He's being

00:24:12.180 he's actually being

00:24:12.900 persecuted because

00:24:13.520 he's a big jerk and

00:24:14.420 people don't like him

00:24:15.120 very much because he

00:24:16.080 says things that are

00:24:17.060 very offensive and

00:24:18.700 wrong.

00:24:21.400 But this this story I

00:24:23.180 think shows you the

00:24:24.640 Tebow Colin Kaepernick

00:24:26.160 issue shows you the

00:24:27.560 big divide in America

00:24:28.600 and why we're really

00:24:29.360 talking past one

00:24:30.440 another and why

00:24:31.560 there's there's

00:24:32.340 unfortunately very

00:24:33.960 little hope of

00:24:34.880 coming together until

00:24:35.980 we can all get on the

00:24:36.780 same page about what

00:24:37.680 we even believe in

00:24:38.860 this world about our

00:24:39.540 place in this world and

00:24:40.700 our place in this

00:24:41.320 country and who we are

00:24:42.560 ourselves.

00:24:44.560 the markets I know that

00:24:45.600 some industries are built

00:24:48.060 built to lead.

00:24:50.120 If you want exposure to

00:24:51.060 what's really shaping our

00:24:52.260 world think beyond

00:24:53.440 trends.

00:24:54.420 Think defense,

00:24:55.300 healthcare,

00:24:56.000 telecom,

00:24:57.320 gold,

00:24:57.880 crypto.

00:25:21.220 Ben is going to be

00:25:22.280 talking about how Joe

00:25:23.160 Biden is Jimmy Carter's

00:25:25.360 revenge.

00:25:26.240 He is.

00:25:27.080 It is weird.

00:25:27.880 We got the gas shortages.

00:25:29.120 We got problems in the

00:25:29.860 Middle East.

00:25:30.700 So you can go check that

00:25:31.400 out on Ben's show.

00:25:32.820 Also you may have

00:25:33.680 noticed that today our

00:25:36.180 country is feeling less

00:25:37.360 free.

00:25:38.680 There's lockdowns.

00:25:39.800 There's cancel culture.

00:25:40.820 There's all this kind of

00:25:41.620 stuff.

00:25:41.980 Well I'm not the only one

00:25:43.280 with a book out.

00:25:44.580 Ben also has a book

00:25:45.380 coming out not so long

00:25:47.160 after my book.

00:25:47.880 So go check that out.

00:25:48.520 The book is called The

00:25:49.000 Authoritarian Moment.

00:25:50.100 That's actually going to be

00:25:50.600 my campaign slogan when I

00:25:51.760 run.

00:25:52.300 Knowles 2024 The

00:25:53.440 Authoritarian Moment.

00:25:54.540 Go check out Ben's book

00:25:55.700 as well.

00:25:56.300 We'll be right back with a

00:25:57.100 lot more.

00:26:08.240 Tim Tebow gets to play in

00:26:11.500 the NFL again.

00:26:12.960 Colin Kaepernick does not.

00:26:15.620 Tim Tebow is signed now

00:26:17.440 with the Jaguars after

00:26:18.520 being away from the NFL.

00:26:19.920 I guess he's been away

00:26:21.040 from playing in the

00:26:22.400 regular season for nine

00:26:23.860 years now but he was

00:26:25.100 briefly back in the NFL

00:26:26.500 or something six years

00:26:27.660 ago.

00:26:28.160 I don't know.

00:26:28.540 You can tell I'm not the

00:26:29.220 biggest football fan which

00:26:30.900 I think perhaps gives me a

00:26:32.000 little more perspective on

00:26:32.920 this thing because there's

00:26:35.820 an image that's going

00:26:36.540 around the internet.

00:26:37.200 It's Colin Kaepernick

00:26:38.240 taking a knee and it's

00:26:39.940 Tim Tebow taking a knee.

00:26:41.300 They both did the same

00:26:42.740 thing on the field.

00:26:45.040 So how come one of them

00:26:46.660 gets to play again and one

00:26:47.900 of them is not in the

00:26:48.820 NFL?

00:26:50.100 Well people will argue

00:26:50.980 well Kaepernick's not that

00:26:52.000 good at QB and then people

00:26:53.680 will argue Tim Tebow is not

00:26:54.980 that good but actually Tim

00:26:55.800 Tebow is going to play

00:26:56.380 a different position now

00:26:58.040 and maybe Colin Kaepernick

00:26:59.040 couldn't do that.

00:27:00.320 The left is arguing that

00:27:02.740 Tebow and Kaepernick are

00:27:05.020 doing the same thing.

00:27:05.720 They're both taking a knee

00:27:06.580 on the field and the

00:27:07.180 only reason that Kaepernick

00:27:08.320 is not allowed back in is

00:27:10.240 because he's black and

00:27:11.700 Tebow's white.

00:27:13.980 The right is pointing out

00:27:15.380 that yes physically Tebow

00:27:18.600 and Kaepernick do the same

00:27:19.860 thing on the field but the

00:27:22.320 meaning of what they're

00:27:23.120 doing is totally different.

00:27:25.200 Tim Tebow is taking a knee

00:27:26.940 in gratitude to God.

00:27:28.960 That is that and it's this

00:27:30.540 is not ambiguous.

00:27:31.340 He's been very open about

00:27:32.280 this.

00:27:32.420 That is the meaning of his of

00:27:35.400 this symbol of what he's

00:27:36.420 doing.

00:27:37.320 Kaepernick is taking a knee to

00:27:39.000 disrespect the star spangled

00:27:41.360 banner which is the flag which

00:27:43.700 is the symbol of the whole

00:27:44.700 country and he pretended for a

00:27:46.380 little bit that he was just

00:27:47.180 protesting police brutality or

00:27:48.720 whatever that is.

00:27:49.880 But he's not because then when

00:27:51.860 he became the face of Nike

00:27:53.280 sneakers he was able to nix a

00:27:55.680 product that was going to come

00:27:56.780 out with the Betsy Ross flag.

00:27:57.940 So not just the current

00:27:59.460 American flag but the

00:28:00.440 revolutionary American flag.

00:28:02.220 I don't think police brutality

00:28:03.820 was a big issue in 1776 but

00:28:06.580 obviously the object of Colin

00:28:08.540 Kaepernick's protest is not

00:28:09.800 just the cops you know they

00:28:11.500 beat up what was that guy's

00:28:13.180 name Rodney King 30 years ago.

00:28:14.860 It's not just that.

00:28:16.760 It's he's protesting the cops as

00:28:19.480 a symbol of the justice system

00:28:20.640 as a symbol of the country and

00:28:22.340 his real issues with the

00:28:23.500 country which he says is

00:28:24.300 systemically racist and

00:28:26.320 intrinsically unjust.

00:28:27.940 And that's why he wants a

00:28:29.380 revolution.

00:28:31.500 People like the guy who's

00:28:33.740 humble and respectful and

00:28:35.320 gives thanks to God.

00:28:36.460 People don't like the jerk

00:28:38.000 spoiled brat pinko who hates

00:28:41.860 his own country and and

00:28:44.400 therefore his countrymen.

00:28:46.160 This is not complicated.

00:28:48.160 These are totally different

00:28:49.100 things.

00:28:49.920 But in the left's confusion

00:28:52.280 over what this symbol means

00:28:53.460 you see the source of so much

00:28:55.280 of their confusion.

00:28:56.240 What the left is seeing here is

00:28:57.720 only the physical.

00:28:59.520 The left thinks that the

00:29:00.820 physical predominates

00:29:02.000 everything.

00:29:02.940 So it's skin color most

00:29:04.300 notably right skin color is

00:29:05.600 the reason that it's how we

00:29:08.340 can explain everything in the

00:29:09.840 entire world.

00:29:10.400 It's just based on skin color

00:29:11.340 and white supremacy or sex.

00:29:14.380 You know women are oppressed

00:29:15.520 because of their physicality

00:29:17.160 because of their bodies or the

00:29:19.300 transgender issue which is

00:29:20.700 that the physical is so

00:29:22.240 important that even if someone

00:29:24.740 believes on the deep

00:29:25.760 metaphysical level that they're

00:29:27.640 a woman and they think that

00:29:29.120 their their real body has no

00:29:31.100 nothing to do with who they

00:29:32.140 really are right.

00:29:33.200 So in that sense you have the

00:29:33.880 denial of the physical but you

00:29:35.940 you actually can become the

00:29:37.680 other sex just by mutilating

00:29:39.420 yourself and getting some

00:29:40.220 surgeries or putting on a dress

00:29:41.320 or some lipstick and stilettos.

00:29:42.920 That if you if you do change the

00:29:45.820 physical then there is no

00:29:46.680 question that that is who you

00:29:49.900 really are.

00:29:51.520 And you see that all this

00:29:53.040 physical stuff in Kaepernick but

00:29:55.020 you see the metaphysical you see

00:29:56.420 the spiritual in Tebow where he's

00:29:57.780 down there and he's thanking God.

00:30:00.900 He's that this is a spiritual turn

00:30:03.180 that has a physical representation.

00:30:05.720 If we want to destroy our country

00:30:07.860 we can only focus on skin color

00:30:12.560 and sex and resentment and pride

00:30:15.240 the deadly sins vices and the

00:30:20.160 physical world to the exclusion of

00:30:21.480 the spiritual.

00:30:22.060 If we want to have a country we can

00:30:24.500 get rid of the resentment we can

00:30:27.180 get rid of the pride and we can

00:30:28.480 embrace humility and gratitude

00:30:30.300 gratitude to God ultimately but

00:30:32.340 gratitude to our forefathers who

00:30:34.560 gave us this country gratitude to

00:30:35.940 the country itself gratitude to our

00:30:37.280 countrymen whom we live with.

00:30:39.600 That's the way forward and that's

00:30:41.120 that's why people like Tebow

00:30:42.640 enough to put him back in the NFL

00:30:44.000 and even though I have no

00:30:45.640 intention of ever watching him

00:30:46.600 play I am pleased to see that

00:30:49.060 there's people are at least

00:30:50.580 keeping that little bit of

00:30:52.060 common sense.

00:30:54.980 Speaking of being out of a job

00:30:56.320 Liz Cheney is about to lose her

00:30:58.360 job.

00:30:59.260 Liz Cheney is now going to be

00:31:00.660 recalled as the leader of the

00:31:02.720 House Republican Conference so it's

00:31:04.260 not the top position in House

00:31:05.440 leadership in the GOP but it's

00:31:07.220 that's still leadership and

00:31:08.840 finally the actual Republican

00:31:10.420 leader Kevin McCarthy has pulled

00:31:12.380 his support from her she's about to

00:31:14.040 get recalled and so she took to the

00:31:16.100 floor to whine about it.

00:31:18.340 Today we face a threat America has

00:31:20.780 never seen before.

00:31:22.500 A former president who provoked a

00:31:25.240 violent attack on this capital in an

00:31:28.080 effort to steal the election has

00:31:30.360 resumed his aggressive effort to

00:31:32.480 convince Americans that the election

00:31:34.440 was stolen from him.

00:31:36.320 He risks inciting further violence.

00:31:39.040 I am a conservative Republican and

00:31:41.840 the most conservative of conservative

00:31:43.960 principles is reverence for the rule

00:31:46.680 of law.

00:31:47.580 The election is over.

00:31:49.860 That is the rule of law.

00:31:52.060 That is our constitutional process.

00:31:54.860 This is not about policy.

00:31:56.860 This is not about partisanship.

00:31:58.500 This is about our duty as Americans.

00:32:02.320 Remaining silent and ignoring the lie

00:32:05.380 emboldens the liar.

00:32:07.520 I will not participate in that.

00:32:10.120 I will not sit back and watch in silence

00:32:13.000 while others lead our party down a path

00:32:15.900 that abandons the rule of law and joins the

00:32:18.880 former president's crusade to undermine our

00:32:21.780 democracy.

00:32:23.320 Saint Liz making her final stand

00:32:26.140 beginning with a lie.

00:32:27.800 She's saying that President Trump incited

00:32:29.760 a violent insurrection.

00:32:32.020 You can play the clips from the day.

00:32:34.000 President Trump very clear.

00:32:35.120 Be peaceful.

00:32:35.900 Be peaceful.

00:32:36.660 Don't be violent.

00:32:37.580 Be peaceful.

00:32:38.440 As for the insurrection, what did the

00:32:39.960 insurrection amount to?

00:32:41.100 It killed Capitol Police officers.

00:32:42.840 No, it didn't.

00:32:44.140 It didn't.

00:32:44.580 That was a lie.

00:32:45.280 That was a lie pushed by the

00:32:46.320 mainstream media.

00:32:47.340 Well, people did die that day.

00:32:48.780 That's true.

00:32:49.260 One of the Trump supporters died.

00:32:50.520 Was killed by Capitol Police.

00:32:51.780 That's it.

00:32:52.520 That's who died in the political violence.

00:32:54.460 Well, they almost took over the government.

00:32:56.900 No, they didn't.

00:32:57.560 They didn't almost take over the government.

00:32:59.500 Some guy stole Pelosi's podium and another

00:33:01.760 guy in a horn helmet danced around on a

00:33:03.480 desk.

00:33:04.680 But there was never any moment at which the

00:33:09.340 government was almost taken over.

00:33:10.740 Am I saying that it's good to go and

00:33:12.540 riot in the Capitol?

00:33:13.320 No.

00:33:13.840 People should be held responsible, of

00:33:15.340 course.

00:33:16.760 But Liz Cheney's claim here, this, we've

00:33:18.840 never seen anything like this.

00:33:20.260 The violent insurrection is just so disingenuous.

00:33:26.040 It's so, I don't even want to accuse her of being

00:33:27.960 disingenuous here.

00:33:28.800 Maybe she's just totally ignorant, but it's just

00:33:30.600 wrong.

00:33:31.620 Leftists burned the country to the ground for eight

00:33:33.640 months in 2020.

00:33:34.740 They burned down government buildings, threatening the

00:33:37.340 rule of law.

00:33:38.200 They're openly calling to defund the police and abolish

00:33:41.100 the police, threatening the rule of law.

00:33:43.040 They burned down private businesses.

00:33:44.680 They threatened individuals.

00:33:45.680 You've got Joe Biden and Maxine Waters putting their thumb on

00:33:50.440 the scales of justice, threatening the judiciary.

00:33:53.580 Maxine Waters threatening more riots.

00:33:55.500 If, if the judiciary doesn't give these, the mob what the

00:33:58.100 mob wants, I just don't want to hear it.

00:34:00.760 I did so preposterous.

00:34:03.160 And Liz Cheney saying, I'm a conservative, I'm a conservative

00:34:06.540 conservative.

00:34:07.020 I'm the most conservative of conservative, conservative

00:34:09.640 Republicans.

00:34:10.820 And yet, I, I didn't vote for the Republican president.

00:34:15.420 I tried to impeach him a couple of times.

00:34:16.980 Probably didn't vote for him the first time either.

00:34:18.540 And I, I pretty much only talked to left-wing news outlets and I

00:34:22.020 back up left-wing talking points and I constantly throw my own party

00:34:24.980 under the bus.

00:34:25.400 But I'm very conservative, don't you see?

00:34:28.720 I think the final nail in Liz's political coffin, she just won a

00:34:34.440 not-so-coveted endorsement.

00:34:36.640 She got the endorsement of, I kid you not, OJ Simpson.

00:34:41.300 Now, there's a clip.

00:34:42.420 OJ Simpson has actually a very funny Twitter feed where he posts

00:34:45.500 videos of himself.

00:34:46.560 I'm not going to play it.

00:34:48.320 And the reason that I'm not going to play OJ Simpson's commentary

00:34:50.820 on my show is that OJ Simpson is a double murderer who got away

00:34:54.540 with his crime and I just can't bring myself to, to give this guy

00:34:58.400 airtime and, and listen to him and look at him on TV.

00:35:01.600 However, it is a telling circumstance that OJ Simpson is endorsing

00:35:07.560 Liz Cheney here.

00:35:08.240 The rule of law.

00:35:09.740 Liz Cheney standing up for the rule of law and, and defended by, um,

00:35:13.500 oh, the most infamous murderer alive in our country right now.

00:35:16.420 Yes, the rule of law.

00:35:17.740 He endorsed Cheney.

00:35:18.900 He said, it seems that the big truth and honesty seems to be the

00:35:24.340 enemy of many of these Republican politicians.

00:35:27.080 And Liz Cheney stands up for the truth.

00:35:29.100 That's got her a lot of heat.

00:35:30.640 She may lose her position in the party.

00:35:32.160 She may even lose her career as a politician, but that is something

00:35:34.640 to be admired.

00:35:36.040 Standing up for the truth.

00:35:37.120 That's something I know her father wouldn't have done.

00:35:39.280 So he doesn't, OJ doesn't like Dick Cheney.

00:35:42.460 Uh, but right now I'm kind of a fan of Liz Cheney.

00:35:45.780 This, this liberal talking point that you're hearing repeated,

00:35:49.280 not just by double murderers such as OJ Simpson, but you're hearing it

00:35:52.540 from all the left-wing talking heads and you're hearing it from Liz Cheney

00:35:55.380 herself is so grating.

00:35:59.560 I can't, I hate it.

00:36:00.860 I hate it.

00:36:01.720 Which is that Liz Cheney and the Lincoln project and George Bush,

00:36:08.420 that's true conservatism.

00:36:11.240 You hear this people who come generally speaking from the liberal wing of the

00:36:15.560 Republican party, that they're the true conservatives.

00:36:17.860 I once had a waiter friend of mine who we were pals, but he was extremely left

00:36:23.220 wing and would get very fired up.

00:36:24.960 And he went, he was very angry with me for supporting Trump.

00:36:27.180 And he said, no, Michael, look, I support true conservatism.

00:36:30.240 You know, guys like John McCain, let me tell you about true conservatism.

00:36:34.500 And what it means to them, true conservatism for these people is basically just

00:36:40.900 refers to feckless and basically liberal people.

00:36:43.380 And the way that they express themselves is that you'll hear it all the time from

00:36:48.240 concerned trolls on the left who will say, look, I, I really want there to be a

00:36:54.120 strong Republican party.

00:36:55.340 Look, I, I actually, look, I don't agree.

00:36:57.640 Okay.

00:36:57.920 I'm not saying I'm a conservative.

00:36:59.040 I don't agree, but I think it's very healthy for our country to have a strong

00:37:04.360 conservative movement, but just not any of the guys who are effective.

00:37:08.980 Yeah, no, but you know, Trump or Reagan, well, now they like Reagan because Reagan's

00:37:14.720 dead.

00:37:14.980 But when Reagan was around, they called him a Nazi and a white supremacist and all this

00:37:18.380 stuff that they called Trump.

00:37:19.400 You know, look, I, I support, I want, no, you don't want there to be a strong conservative

00:37:24.320 movement.

00:37:24.680 You don't want there to be a strong Republican party because you think they're wrong and

00:37:27.880 you want to beat them.

00:37:28.560 And that's fine.

00:37:29.740 We do this on, on the right too.

00:37:32.300 We will, we will do this.

00:37:33.020 We'll say, look, I think there should be a strong liberal, liberal faction in this, in this

00:37:37.700 country, but what the left is doing right now, that's not liberal.

00:37:40.680 We do it all the time.

00:37:41.340 You know, the, the libs say that's not true conservatism.

00:37:45.320 And then the conservatives say that's not true liberalism, but how about we stop pretending

00:37:50.200 that we are the experts on our opponent's ideology and philosophy?

00:37:54.320 How about we do that?

00:37:56.120 This talk, you hear this talking point from a lot of people on the right.

00:37:58.680 And I think it's kind of disingenuous.

00:38:00.180 The idea of the, the left there, they betrayed liberalism.

00:38:03.460 They're actually, we're the real liberals and we're the real conservatives and all the

00:38:06.720 good stuff that anyone ever likes.

00:38:07.860 Well, that's us and all the bad stuff.

00:38:09.340 That's the other guy.

00:38:09.940 No, I, I think that there's a strong argument to be made that the hard left is following

00:38:15.440 liberalism to its logical conclusion.

00:38:17.460 Maybe there were some perversions along the way and that's fine.

00:38:19.680 That's an interesting conversation, but they're, they're liberals, they're libs, they're,

00:38:26.760 they're leftists, we're conservatives.

00:38:28.400 They don't get to define what conservatism is because they don't have our best interests

00:38:31.340 at heart and they don't really know what they're talking about.

00:38:33.180 And frankly, the same can be said of the other side too.

00:38:35.080 I actually go into this argument at, at pretty great length in my upcoming book, Speechless,

00:38:38.500 Controlling Words, Controlling Minds, which is available now, by the way, for, for pre-order.

00:38:43.460 Real conservatism.

00:38:46.600 I was, I was just watching The View.

00:38:48.140 I wasn't really watching The View, but I was watching a clip from The View and, and Megan

00:38:51.920 McCain was interviewing Stacey Abrams and she showed us, Stacey Abrams did, actually Megan

00:38:58.000 a little bit too, but Stacey Abrams showed us what real liberalism looks like.

00:39:02.600 U.S. economy only added 266,000 jobs last month, which was far less than the more than

00:39:09.380 one million that was expected.

00:39:10.940 It was so bad that there were reporters on air that had to double check the number to

00:39:14.820 make sure they had actually read it correctly.

00:39:16.580 Not to mention that the fact that all of the jobs went to men.

00:39:20.020 Is this a clear indication that throwing money at this problem isn't working?

00:39:23.740 Actually, I would say a different way.

00:39:26.800 We know this is a complicated challenge, a pandemic that's affected the economy for women

00:39:31.680 in devastating ways.

00:39:33.640 And the notion that recovery would happen overnight is just, it's unfounded.

00:39:38.420 Instead, what we're seeing are the combination of being able to survive the pandemic and start

00:39:43.000 to build towards recovery.

00:39:44.080 And I think that's why the American Jobs Plan and the American Families Plan are both so incredibly

00:39:48.820 important because it recognizes that the economy of care, which employs so many women, has got

00:39:54.420 to be seen as an essential part of how we rebuild our economy and that it is insufficient

00:39:58.580 for us to simply focus on the more traditional masculine areas of the economy, recognizing that we

00:40:04.840 have to have women in every area, but that in particular women have been hardest hit and

00:40:09.140 therefore we need intentional engagement and intervention to rebuild it back more solidly.

00:40:13.400 This is real radicalism.

00:40:16.920 Notice what she says, the traditionally masculine areas of the economy.

00:40:21.960 So I guess not childbirth, not tending a home, not raising a family.

00:40:27.280 We're not focusing on that, right?

00:40:28.660 No, that's not what Stacey means.

00:40:29.820 Stacey says we need women in every single segment of the economy.

00:40:34.140 We need women, firefighters.

00:40:36.660 We need women, special forces.

00:40:38.760 We need women all throughout the entire economy.

00:40:44.560 Do you really believe that?

00:40:46.760 Notice even Megan is accepting the liberal premise here, even in the question.

00:40:52.300 I'm sure a lot of conservatives would do it, but Megan is showing it here.

00:40:55.280 She goes, this is outrageous.

00:40:56.580 There aren't a lot of jobs and all the jobs are going to men.

00:40:59.800 So here's a, here's a real conservative point.

00:41:02.040 What if women don't need to work in the same way that men need to work?

00:41:09.080 What if men and women's relation to the economy and to society and to the family and to themselves

00:41:13.880 is different?

00:41:16.380 You're not really allowed to say that.

00:41:20.640 Megan McCain asks this question of Stacey Abrams.

00:41:25.720 Why is it, you know, how do we fix this economy where all the jobs are going to men?

00:41:29.960 Now you'll hear a lot of conservatives, actually you heard Trump do this.

00:41:32.900 Trump would say, look, we're so happy.

00:41:35.600 Black unemployment is at all time lows.

00:41:37.140 You say, that's awesome.

00:41:38.080 And Hispanic unemployment is at all time lows.

00:41:40.040 Oh, great.

00:41:40.460 That's cool.

00:41:41.060 And women's unemployment is at all time lows.

00:41:43.000 And you say, wait, hold on a second.

00:41:44.360 First of all, women have always been employed.

00:41:46.840 Women have always done a lot of things.

00:41:48.120 Raising a family is actually harder work than what men do.

00:41:51.020 It's different.

00:41:51.640 And I don't mean to diminish what we men do.

00:41:53.960 Look, I go out to the salt mines every day and I talk about politics and own the lips.

00:41:58.840 I'm not diminishing the value of that work, but I am just saying, I've seen sweet little

00:42:02.400 Elisa do it.

00:42:03.240 The woman hasn't slept in four months because she's up feeding the child and we've only got

00:42:06.800 one so far.

00:42:07.620 Imagine when you've got multiple kids.

00:42:09.000 Imagine when you're tending a home.

00:42:10.160 Imagine when you're doing all that sort of stuff in the home economy to say nothing of

00:42:14.380 what one does outside into the community more broadly.

00:42:16.820 And that's even without taking into consideration formal employment in a job.

00:42:23.280 Do we really believe as conservatives that, that women should need to work outside the home,

00:42:28.480 that they need to, that it's, that it's a positive good and it's bad if they're not

00:42:31.360 working outside the home?

00:42:32.340 I don't believe that.

00:42:34.420 For goodness sakes, Betty Friedan, one of the most famous feminists in American history,

00:42:38.680 didn't even believe that.

00:42:40.140 There's a very famous exchange where Betty Friedan was talking with Simone de Beauvoir,

00:42:44.120 both very prominent feminists.

00:42:46.160 Beauvoir, I guess, a little more radical than Friedan.

00:42:49.420 And Friedan said, look, if women want to work outside the home, that's fine.

00:42:52.240 But if they want to stay in the home, that's fine too.

00:42:53.660 And Beauvoir said, nope, no way.

00:42:56.780 Can't, you can't give them that choice because if women have that choice, they'll stay home.

00:43:02.520 They'll want to stay home.

00:43:03.240 They'll want to, I can't tell you how many letters I get to this show in the mailbag

00:43:06.160 saying, hey, Michael, I'm in my third master's degree or whatever.

00:43:09.480 And I'm, you know, I've got to go get this job.

00:43:12.080 And my boyfriend, you know, he might move, but should I follow him?

00:43:15.260 I really just want to raise a family and get married.

00:43:17.260 But my whole society is telling me I've got to go work for some other guy at the widget

00:43:20.560 factory in middle management until I'm 40.

00:43:22.500 And then maybe I can have a kid.

00:43:23.720 And you just think, stop listening to these idiots in the popular culture and in, in the

00:43:30.060 academy and who are cultural revolutionaries who are trying to ruin your life.

00:43:34.700 Don't do it.

00:43:35.940 It's perfectly natural.

00:43:37.040 If you want to stay home, raise a family, have children, tend to home.

00:43:40.680 That's good.

00:43:41.420 It's a good thing.

00:43:43.220 Imagine sweet little Elise has been gone for the past few days.

00:43:45.620 I'm living in squalor.

00:43:47.400 I'm living like a pig in slop right now in my home because, because men and women are

00:43:53.800 different.

00:43:54.140 All right.

00:43:54.460 Enough of that.

00:43:55.280 Speaking of women who are excellent, not just, you know, not, not just in the terms of the

00:44:01.900 natural feminine, you know, virtues and women who, a woman who works from her home, but also

00:44:07.680 a woman who has a lot of political power.

00:44:10.180 The queen of England, queen of England read the queen's speech yesterday.

00:44:14.040 And she really, I think, upset the libs because she sort of came out in support of voter ID.

00:44:23.980 Legislation will be introduced to ensure the integrity of elections.

00:44:29.200 My ministers will promote the strength and integrity of the union.

00:44:33.940 Okay.

00:44:34.520 So she's reading, the thing is, she's not just reading her own words as though this were some

00:44:38.740 creed de cour that we need voter ID.

00:44:40.040 She's reading the policies of the conservative, relatively conservative government that that's

00:44:44.660 there.

00:44:44.940 But of course, it's common sense.

00:44:45.980 Everyone supports voter ID.

00:44:47.160 Majorities of every demographic support voter ID.

00:44:49.300 But the libs want to tell you it's Jim Crow 2.0, completely ridiculous.

00:44:53.040 And then when they can't defend that assertion, they'll go out and say that conservatives, they're

00:44:57.300 not just racist, bigot, terrible people.

00:44:59.600 They're traitors.

00:45:01.000 President Biden said there's a mini revolution going on in the Republican.

00:45:03.940 I mean, it's a mini civil war going on in the Republican party.

00:45:06.560 Chuck, the civil war is over and the conservatives have lost and they've lost it.

00:45:11.080 They've lost a tribalist and they've lost a tribalist who want to promote a big lie.

00:45:14.920 So what?

00:45:15.440 And so we got to break down.

00:45:17.060 What is the big lie?

00:45:18.040 Because we talk about the big lie all the time.

00:45:19.500 But what is fundamentally the big lie?

00:45:20.900 The big lie is promoting something that undermines democracy, that actually says that the will

00:45:26.860 of the American people is is sort of throughout the will of the American people and is fomenting

00:45:31.880 sort of, you know, attacks on our government.

00:45:34.360 Right now, we're at sort of national, our greatest national security threats are actually

00:45:38.020 from this, this fomenting of these lies.

00:45:41.160 So there becomes something, there's something bigger at stake here than just just partisanship.

00:45:45.900 You know, with all this talk about civil war, I think back, you know, Ulysses S.

00:45:49.640 Grant at the start of the civil war said there are but two parties now, traitors and patriots.

00:45:54.080 I'm afraid, Chuck, that we're increasingly coming back to that time.

00:45:58.180 I fear, Cornell, that myself.

00:46:01.500 So ridiculous.

00:46:03.100 If you didn't see this clip, the man who is speaking for most of that is a grown man wearing

00:46:07.940 a pinstripe suit with peak collar and a purple shirt with a white collar and a very loud

00:46:12.580 tie.

00:46:13.720 And he's asking to be taken seriously on a news program.

00:46:16.540 And he is being taken seriously by Chuck Todd on NBC when he says that the GOP, they're

00:46:21.220 the party of traitors because of the big lie and the will of the people.

00:46:24.040 All I will say on this is obviously, look, the election is what the election is.

00:46:27.660 Joe Biden is the president of the United States.

00:46:29.280 There's no denying that.

00:46:32.400 For Republicans who have concerns about voter integrity, it is not unreasonable to have

00:46:39.540 questions about a process that involved the upending of major election integrity laws that

00:46:46.820 involved the expansion of things like drop boxes or even election day itself that did not

00:46:53.560 have the traditional safeguards.

00:46:55.840 And that in some cases, in the case of Pennsylvania notably, involved violating the state constitution

00:47:01.060 on, on election law.

00:47:03.100 It's not unreasonable to have questions about that.

00:47:04.900 You're not a traitor if you have questions about that.

00:47:07.180 If anything, the people who, who keep pushing the big lie of the big lie or whatever, you

00:47:11.300 know, the lie of the big lie and the Nazis and the traitors and, you know, all this kind

00:47:14.340 of ridiculous rhetoric from the left.

00:47:15.860 If anything, their insane protestations of this make me very skeptical that, that they're,

00:47:24.360 they're particularly concerned about our democracy and voter ID and anything like that.

00:47:30.000 The erosion of faith in our institutions is what is at the heart of this.

00:47:34.600 This is why people keep questioning the elections.

00:47:36.680 This is not something that Republicans started.

00:47:38.440 This has been going on for a long time.

00:47:40.100 Don't forget the Republican, the Democrats rather wouldn't accept the results of the 2000

00:47:43.440 election, the Democrats wouldn't accept the results of the 2016 election.

00:47:47.720 And there were far fewer questions in those elections.

00:47:49.920 It was those years, 2000 and 2016 were far less unusual than, than 2020 in, in large part

00:47:57.140 because of the virus and the lockdowns and the upending of our economy and the changing

00:47:59.960 of a lot of these laws.

00:48:01.080 So this broader, forget about 2020 for a second, the broader problem of not having faith in the

00:48:07.220 institutions, that's a real threat here.

00:48:09.980 And when you look at other countries that descend into absolute chaos, I'm thinking of our

00:48:13.440 friends over in the Middle East right now, you do fear that a lot of this is because people

00:48:17.500 do not have respect for the rule of law, do not have respect for national borders, do

00:48:21.180 not have respect for the country itself.

00:48:23.600 And you see those problems festering here and they are being encouraged almost exclusively

00:48:28.640 by the left.

00:48:30.780 Is there anything we can do about that?

00:48:32.680 Or are we just going to descend into the norm for, for the rest of the world, which doesn't

00:48:37.980 look so pretty?
