The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 766 - Public Health Propaganda

00:00:00.000 Public health propaganda reached new heights this past weekend when Brazilian authorities

00:00:06.320 lit up the very famous statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, lit it up in a line

00:00:15.300 that says vaccine saves. Very creepy, extremely sacrilegious, and also just not true. You know,

00:00:25.500 you know how I know this? I know this with scientific certainty. 100% of people who get

00:00:30.640 the vaccine will die. I know that YouTube's going to try to shut me down for that. It is simply a

00:00:37.100 scientific fact. 100% of people who get the vaccine will die. Now, they're probably not going to die

00:00:43.800 tomorrow. Very possibly the vaccine will extend their lives, but they will die. This substitute

00:00:49.020 religion is ridiculous, and so many people these days are beginning to tune it out. They are 1.00

00:00:55.940 realizing that the public health establishment has not only lost its credibility, has not only

00:01:01.260 misled people in so many ways, but it is also grabbing so much power that it does not deserve.

00:01:07.640 Political power and religious power as well, and many, many people are tuning it out. I'm Michael

00:01:13.600 Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show. Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment

00:01:24.700 yesterday from Benjamin Watson, who says, the CDC's changes in masking restrictions is the

00:01:29.920 equivalent to an employer shouting, you're fired, right before their employee quits. Far more about

00:01:35.560 maintaining authority and control than anything else. I think this is pretty true. I think this is

00:01:41.040 pretty fair. The public health officials were trying to hold onto power, trying to force everyone

00:01:45.980 to keep distancing, keep masking, and then people just ignored them, and governors started ignoring

00:01:50.820 them. So now, Johnny, come lately, they said, no, actually, we wanted you to disregard the masks

00:01:56.960 from the beginning. So keep listening to us about everything else. It's desperate, and it's obviously

00:02:01.860 political. People are recognizing their rights. They're protecting themselves. When you want to protect

00:02:06.820 yourself and exercise your rights, you've got to check out Armored Republic. You've heard me talk

00:02:12.340 about how important the Second Amendment is to the foundation of our country. I'm going to be getting

00:02:16.420 into it a little bit more later in the show. You might even be one of the over 5 million citizens

00:02:21.580 who purchased a firearm for the first time in 2020. If you have taken the first step of protecting

00:02:25.920 yourself with a firearm, the next step in your personal protection plan should be considering body

00:02:30.980 armor for yourself and your family. Shopping for body armor may seem like something that you never

00:02:35.760 thought you'd have to do. I mean, I never expected to be wearing body armor. You may not know where to

00:02:40.040 begin. In fact, you may not even know that you could buy body armor. That is where AR500 Armor

00:02:45.640 comes in. I really love this company. These guys have their heads on straight, and they make a

00:02:50.300 tremendous product that can protect you if things spin out of control, as maybe some of you have

00:02:54.660 noticed very well can happen. Maybe you've noticed that in recent years. Best of all, they put together

00:02:59.580 some packages specifically for listeners of The Daily Wire. So there's something for everyone at

00:03:27.160 Knowles. People are beginning to tune out. If they haven't already, they're certainly now beginning to

00:03:33.180 tune out. The public health propagandists who are taking a lot of power for themselves.

00:03:38.400 Notably, Eric Clapton. You know Eric Clapton, very famous, one of the most famous rock musicians in

00:03:43.640 the world. Eric Clapton is saying things that could get him kicked off of YouTube. Here's what he's

00:03:49.460 saying. I'm just going to report what he's saying, because if I were to say it, I could run the risk of

00:03:53.600 being kicked off of YouTube. That is how closely tied in the big tech industry is with the bureaucracy,

00:04:01.540 with the government, with the public health administration. So I'm just going to read what

00:04:05.900 Eric Clapton said and his experience of the vaccine. He said, quote, I took the first jab of

00:04:10.640 AstraZeneca and right away had severe reactions, which lasted 10 days. I recovered eventually and

00:04:16.440 was told it could be 12 weeks before the second one. About six weeks later, I was offered and took

00:04:21.020 the second AstraZeneca shot, but with a little more knowledge of the dangers. Needless to say,

00:04:25.560 the reactions were disastrous. My hands and feet were either frozen, numb, or burning,

00:04:31.120 and pretty much useless for two weeks. I feared I would never play again. This guy is one of the

00:04:36.960 most famous guitarists ever, you know, in popular music. And so that's a very big fear. He goes on,

00:04:43.220 I suffer with peripheral neuropathy and should never have gone near the needle, but the propaganda

00:04:47.680 said the vaccine was safe for everyone. So here's the issue. Okay. I am not telling any tales at a

00:04:54.100 school here. Okay. I'm not saying anything that is a conspiracy theory or anything like that.

00:04:58.560 Remember, they paused a vaccine because there were rare, rare rather, but significant side effects.

00:05:04.660 Only affected a very small number of people, but they were very, very as significant as they

00:05:09.640 possibly can be. And you're not really allowed to talk about that. Even when the public health

00:05:14.760 officials come out and say, yes, there have been these rare cases, but we're going to pause certain

00:05:18.900 vaccines, but then we're going to start them again. We, the public, and especially communicators,

00:05:23.320 are not allowed to mention this, or we're called conspiracy theorists and we're called anti-vaxxers

00:05:27.360 or something and taken off of the internet. I'm nothing of the sort and I'm not even

00:05:31.500 anti-vaccine, generally speaking. But I do think we should be able to report on these sorts of

00:05:37.780 reactions. A lot of people have heard these things anecdotally from friends or relatives or friends

00:05:42.360 of friends, or in this case, from Eric Clapton. But we're not allowed to do that because the scientific

00:05:47.800 matter of the vaccines is not really considered a scientific matter. Just like the scientific matter of the

00:05:52.960 coronavirus is not really considered a scientific matter. It's a political matter whereby public

00:05:58.200 health officials will, will lie to our faces, right? They'll say, one day they'll say, don't wear the

00:06:04.480 masks. The masks don't work. You shouldn't wear the mask, you stupid sheep. I'm paraphrasing our

00:06:10.100 exalted Dr. Fauci. Then five seconds later, he says, you have to wear the masks. And then later on,

00:06:15.280 he justifies it and says that he misled us in the first place because he thought that all of us

00:06:20.420 peasants would go out and buy up the masks and he wanted to save them for the nurses. But now that

00:06:24.760 he knows there's enough masks, he's going to tell us that we need to buy them. Okay. Presuming to

00:06:28.920 take a lot of political power. And in the case of Rio, presuming to, to take, take the place of

00:06:34.840 Christianity, to supplant Christianity in Rio for goodness sakes. And, and on a very famous statue of 0.99

00:06:41.520 Christ the Redeemer, a statute that, that says Christ saves to cover that up and say, no, vaccine

00:06:48.500 saves, which is to say the public health officials save. But there are downsides here. Okay. As with

00:06:55.360 any scientific procedure, there is a risk. Even, even now the public health officials who paused

00:07:03.420 one of the vaccines will acknowledge, yes, there are risks and you've got to make a risk calculation,

00:07:08.140 which is why I've said from the beginning, if I were older, if I were fatter, if I were in

00:07:11.760 poorer health, I would probably be much more likely to rush out and get the vaccine that I am

00:07:17.020 now as a relatively young, ostensibly healthy millennial. I'm not saying I have no risk.

00:07:21.240 Don't you let, if anything ever happens to me, if I get COVID, you know, and God forbid something

00:07:25.300 terrible happens, don't you let the libs write headlines about me that I was a COVID denier and I got

00:07:31.180 my comeuppance. I'm not denying anything. I'm just saying that people ought to take risks into account.

00:07:36.180 There are downsides to everything that we do. There's no such thing as a free lunch. The UK is

00:07:40.520 seeing this right now. The UK is now dealing with the downside of the COVID lockdowns, other than

00:07:45.300 destroying the economy and people's political rights and shutting down churches and depriving

00:07:49.360 people of, of so many of their traditions and liberties. Here's another downside. The, even the

00:07:55.320 public health officials in the UK are now worried that kids are going to get more common respiratory

00:08:00.220 infections at higher rates with more severe reactions because they've been locked down for a full year.

00:08:04.800 So in, in the United Kingdom right now, medical professionals are telling the sun, the newspaper,

00:08:10.600 that models are showing that beginning this fall, there could be between 20% and 50% more cases of

00:08:16.000 children needing to be hospitalized from respiratory synchishal, I don't know, I'm mispronouncing that,

00:08:22.220 virus, otherwise known as RSV, which usually causes mild cold-like symptoms and can be serious

00:08:27.620 for infants and, and senior citizens. From one expert, quote, there is a concern that children this year

00:08:33.860 have missed out on a normal RSV viral exposure. They would normally be exposed to this, but they

00:08:39.380 won't have been because of lockdown. Another expert said, we may get a big surge of routine

00:08:43.200 respiratory conditions this autumn and winter, as most people avoided contact last winter. It's not

00:08:48.580 just kids. Each year around 30,000 kids are hospitalized because of this virus. It could be

00:08:52.960 significantly more this year. Now I think that I'm going to be in a pretty good position. I think a lot

00:08:58.140 of you are going to be in a pretty good position because from the beginning, I've just ignored the

00:09:02.820 lockdown. I just have. I haven't, in rare cases such as on an airplane, when they make me wear the

00:09:08.800 mask, I'll basically wear the mask the whole time, but otherwise I've ignored it, you know, and I've

00:09:13.180 seen my friends and I've seen my family and I've gone out and I've flown all over God's green earth

00:09:17.940 and I feel great. And so thankfully, you know, I made it through just fine this whole year and I've

00:09:23.980 gotten to see family. I've gotten to live my life. And also now I've exposed myself to the environment

00:09:29.140 because we do have an immune system. I know that the public health professionals want to pretend

00:09:33.540 that they are the only thing keeping us from sudden death at any given moment, but there are other

00:09:38.820 things, folks. We have our immune system. We have our common sense. We have our prudence. We have our

00:09:44.120 actual redeemer in his providence. Okay. We've got all of these things and there is more to life

00:09:49.380 than not coming down with the cough. Okay. And there are prudential risk assessments that people

00:09:54.980 can make. We're not allowed to say that anymore. Actually, what we're told we have to believe

00:09:58.880 is that if you don't get this vaccine immediately, regardless of your age, regardless of your risk

00:10:04.320 level, that you are endangering, not just the public, you're endangering yourself and you will

00:10:09.960 pay the price. If the unvaccinated get vaccinated, they will protect themselves and other unvaccinated 0.98

00:10:17.080 people around them. If they do not, states with low vaccination rates may see those rates go up,

00:10:24.760 may see this progress reversed. Ultimately, those who are not vaccinated will end up paying the price.

00:10:32.820 The vaccinated will continue to be protected against severe illnesses, but others may not be

00:10:37.660 if you're not vaccinated. But given that the vaccination is convenient and free, it'll be a tragedy

00:10:44.680 if to, and a needless one to see COVID cases among those who do not get vaccinated go up.

00:10:52.180 So what, what Joe Biden has said right here, the unvaccinated will pay the price. 0.99

00:10:58.720 That's simply not true. If he wanted to be accurate, he would say the unvaccinated 1.00

00:11:02.960 may pay the price because there's a risk and uncertainty in anything that we do.

00:11:08.760 Eric Clapton is paying the price and luckily it's all okay now, right? The experts tell us

00:11:14.860 that, well, we know there are widespread mild reactions to the vaccines. We all have a friend

00:11:19.860 or relative who got the second shot and they were down for the count for a few days. But in some cases,

00:11:26.380 there are more serious reactions. We are told by the experts that they're very, very rare.

00:11:30.460 So I'm not saying don't get the vaccine, but I am saying there's always a risk in life.

00:11:34.820 And so, yeah, there's a risk to not getting the vaccine too. And people may pay the price. That's,

00:11:40.240 that's the way this world works. However, I think there's a serious reason to doubt

00:11:45.440 Joe Biden here. Okay. Namely, he's been wrong about this thing from the beginning.

00:11:51.440 When Texas decided it was going to lift its mask mandate, this would have been a couple months ago

00:11:56.540 now, Joe Biden came out and he said that this was Neanderthal thinking.

00:12:02.320 Last thing we need is the Neanderthal thinking that in the meantime, everything's fine. Take 0.93

00:12:07.700 off your mask, forget it. Yeah. That's what we're getting Neanderthal thinking. So I'm sure the cases

00:12:13.440 have skyrocketed, deaths have skyrocketed in Texas, right? Let's see the latest. Let's check in on the

00:12:17.980 science. Oh, wow. That's how about that? Texas is reporting zero deaths from the coronavirus for the

00:12:26.440 first time now in nearly 14 months. This is months now after they lifted the mask mandate. So the

00:12:32.060 issue here, someone wrote in to Ben's radio show actually, and when I was filling in and they

00:12:36.600 said, you got to talk to your friend Knowles, he's an anti-vaxxer and he's being selfish.

00:12:41.080 I'm not, I'm not an anti-vaxxer. I don't think that my reticence to rush out and get the vaccine,

00:12:46.120 I don't think it's selfish at all. I don't think the science suggests that this will in any way harm

00:12:49.700 anybody else. But the point I will make for the one in five Americans who are a little skeptical of

00:12:55.240 these vaccines and the good portion of them who say they won't get it under any circumstances,

00:12:59.760 which is a much harsher stance than I have is, it's not my fault that the public health

00:13:05.640 administrators squandered their credibility. That's not my fault. It's not my fault that they

00:13:10.080 misled people and got caught. It's not my fault that their predictions were wrong. It's not my fault

00:13:14.060 that Joe Biden's predictions were wrong. That, that ain't my fault. If they want credibility,

00:13:17.880 they have to earn it. Speaking of earning people's trust, has anyone done, done that more so than City

00:13:23.920 Journal? City Journal, a great, great outlet to go check out. If you're interested in learning more

00:14:12.340 are selected. So head on over right now. That is city-journal.org slash giveaway. I love these guys.

00:14:18.880 I've read City Journal for years. I think that for a long time they've put out tremendous stuff and

00:14:22.800 they're still putting out really, really great stuff. Some of the, some of the most important

00:14:26.280 reporting and commentary out there, head on over to City Journal today. So we're, we're hearing from

00:14:32.100 the federal government that you got to get this vaccine, get it as soon as you can, you'll pay

00:14:35.260 the price if you don't. But, but yet from the federal agencies, we're not really seeing that

00:14:39.560 being implemented. Because if, if truly we all need to get the vaccine, then that means that we've got

00:14:44.120 to have a vaccine passport or your employers have the right to ask for it. Your, your businesses that

00:14:49.040 you frequent have the right to ask for it. Everybody does. The government has the right to ask for it,

00:14:52.620 but that's not what we're seeing. The Department of Justice, according to reports, will not ask

00:14:58.720 employees to confirm their vaccination status after allowing them to go maskless indoors, following

00:15:04.440 updated guidelines from the CDC, according to a report now out from the Hill. So they were initially

00:15:11.200 suggesting that they would force employees to confirm that they had been vaccinated. This would seem

00:15:17.800 to violate some norms and traditions in this country. This would seem to open them up to

00:15:22.060 litigation. And so they're not going to do it. We heard this news yesterday. Starbucks and Walmart

00:15:26.660 are going to open up their stores to the unmasked. And the policy is if you're vaccinated, you don't 0.88

00:15:32.440 need a mask. If you are unvaccinated, you do need a mask, but they're not going to check.

00:15:36.360 So effectively what this means is everyone's going to take the mask off. And it just shows you the

00:15:41.480 conflicting propaganda we've got. On the one hand, COVID is so super duper serious that we've got to

00:15:48.160 wear masks even as we walk from the receptionist to the hostess stand to our dinner table at a

00:15:55.320 restaurant. It's so super duper dangerous that we've got to wear that mask then, but we can take

00:15:59.400 it off at the table. Well, why? Because you can't eat with a mask on. Well, so why is the restaurant

00:16:05.260 open in the first place? Well, because COVID is not that dangerous. If it were really as dangerous as

00:16:09.760 they were all saying it is, then they should just keep the restaurants closed. But they didn't do

00:16:14.020 that. So you're getting such conflicting messages here. And that's why people, I think, increasingly

00:16:18.720 are tuning them out, which is perfectly fine as far as I'm concerned. Speaking of controversial

00:16:24.160 scientific claims, we're getting a really controversial claim from the NFL as it tries to stave off lawsuits

00:16:32.980 from people who have been injured playing in the league. So get a load of this one.

00:16:39.760 This is really quite politically incorrect. The NFL, which has gone very, very woke in recent years,

00:16:47.060 which has in many ways led the country in disrespecting the American flag in the protest

00:16:52.240 of the Star Spangled Banner because of white supremacy and how they stand for Black Lives Matter.

00:16:58.200 So the NFL is reportedly trying to stave off a $1 billion brain injury settlement fund and claims made 1.00

00:17:06.000 on that fund by arguing that blacks are stupider than whites. That is one of the arguments that is 1.00

00:17:13.220 being made. So this accusation right now is being made by former Redskins. Oh, oops, am I allowed to say

00:17:18.020 that term? I know that we're, what are they called now? They're called the Washington football team.

00:17:22.240 This is the most vague, bland name ever. I'm going to stick with Redskins, I think. The former Redskins

00:17:27.660 running back, Ken Jenkins, uh, just, uh, delivered 50,000 petitions to the billion dollar funds

00:17:33.840 administrator, uh, senior U.S. district judge, Anita Brody. And, uh, Jenkins is, is highlighting

00:17:40.800 something here, which is that you've got to prove that you've had cognitive impairment in order to be

00:17:46.720 entitled for some of this settlement fund or entitled to it rather. And so you got to show that your,

00:17:53.040 your brain has dropped below the average performance here, what would be expected.

00:17:59.800 But there's a two-tiered system apparently in, in here because what the NFL is allegedly arguing 0.98

00:18:06.320 is that black people ordinarily have lower cognitive skills than white people. So there, 1.00

00:18:13.200 so on the one hand, the NFL is arguing we're black lives matter. We're so supportive. Yeah,

00:18:19.640 let's protest the flag down with white supremacy. And then out of the other side of their mouth, 0.86

00:18:23.420 they're saying, but actually, you know, blacks are dumber than whites. 1.00

00:18:26.040 Now they're saying those both at the same, do you see the conflicting message? Do you see why 1.00

00:18:30.600 this tarnishes the credibility of, and not just the credibility of public health people, but

00:18:35.060 credibility of, of allegedly woke institutions like the NFL? Uh, really ugly stuff, really bad PR for

00:18:43.480 them. Uh, obviously I haven't seen every detail of every legal document here, but this is the claim

00:18:48.660 being made by, uh, by Ken Jenkins. And, uh, one suspects that the NFL is going to want to tamp down

00:18:54.180 this publicity. So let's see, let's see if they can answer for it. Speaking of locker rooms,

00:18:59.240 Tennessee, my wonderful state, my home state of Tennessee, it's my new home, but it's my home

00:19:04.080 nonetheless. They are, uh, have now passed a law that will put schools at risk of lawsuits if they

00:19:12.240 let men into the girls' locker room or into the girls' bathrooms, any gender bending rule like 1.00

00:19:19.620 that. Tennessee governor, Bill Lee has just signed this bill that will, uh, open the schools up to

00:19:28.680 punishment if they permit transgender students, meaning men who are pretending to be women or vice 1.00

00:19:34.120 versa, use, um, locker rooms that do not reflect their quote gender at birth. So this is a phrase being 0.77

00:19:41.600 used in the reporting here, their gender at birth. Oh, this is great legislation. I'm very glad that

00:19:46.420 Tennessee is standing up for the women's room. You know, I'm glad. I didn't know that we would need

00:19:52.320 to elect rock ribbed conservatives to stand up for the ladies' room, but, but apparently we have to. 0.96

00:19:58.100 Uh, we've really got to watch our language here too, folks, because you're going to hear reporting on

00:20:04.440 this and say it refers to transgender students, singles out transgender students.

00:20:09.320 Transgenderism is not a thing. It's a social phenomenon, but it isn't real. What is contained 1.00

00:20:18.380 in the phrase transgenderism is the belief that a man can really be a woman, but that isn't true.

00:20:26.540 A man cannot really be a woman. And so transgenderism as a concept is a fantasy. Lock that away with the 1.00

00:20:32.760 Easter bunny and the tooth fairy. That isn't real. We should stop using that phrase. Another phrase I hear

00:20:37.500 from conservatives a lot is this phrase, biological males. Have you, maybe you've used it yourself. I

00:20:45.580 know it, look, it's tricky. The left lays all these linguistic traps for us and very often we fall into

00:20:50.300 those traps. Uh, but this is a very bad idea because it advances the left's purpose, a process

00:20:56.000 that I write about at great length in my upcoming book, Speechless, Controlling Words, Controlling

00:20:59.000 Minds, which is available now for pre-order. You can also pre-order the audio book. We, I just finished

00:21:03.080 recording the audio book. It's available on Audible and other places. You can pre-order that as well.

00:21:07.600 Thank you to everyone who's pre-ordered. I think there are a lot of conservatives who believe that

00:21:13.040 by being really specific, they're going to outfox the left. So the left says, I'll use Caitlyn Jenner 0.83

00:21:18.660 as an example, that Caitlyn Jenner is a trans woman and a trans woman is, refers to a man who now

00:21:25.560 pretends to be a woman. And so, but now he's a trans woman. And when conservatives don't want to go 0.76

00:21:30.780 along with that kind of jargon, they'll say, actually, you know, uh, Caitlyn Jenner is a

00:21:36.340 biological male. Uh, now they're, they think they're being very specific here, but they're

00:21:41.920 actually accepting the whole premise, the whole premise of transgenderism. Because if you use the 0.95

00:21:48.820 phrase biological male, you're implying that there's some other kind of male that you can be a,

00:21:53.220 a non-biological male, which is the whole idea of transgenderism. So I think we can't do it folks. 1.00

00:21:59.260 I know we're trying to be polite. We're trying to be specific, but if you want it to be most

00:22:04.160 specific, and by the way, if you want to be most respectful by telling people the truth instead of

00:22:09.100 lies, then you got to drop the qualifier. He's a man, baby. He's a man. I sound like Austin Powers.

00:22:15.700 It's just a man. You'll notice that political correctness often uses this formula. Actually, 0.99

00:22:21.760 the very phrase politically correct uses this formulation where you put an adverb before an

00:22:27.760 adjective to not just transform, but actually negate the adjective. What I mean by that is

00:22:32.840 you got something like correct. What does correct mean? It means true. But then you've got the phrase

00:22:36.980 politically correct and politically correct is ironic because the politically negates the correct.

00:22:43.320 Politically correct just means not true. This, this was, uh, mocked in its, in PC's early days is,

00:22:49.300 as the formulation of the adverbally, adverbially pre-modified adjectival lexical unit,

00:22:55.200 right? Cause that's the way the jargon sounds. It's this kind of silly language that, that either

00:22:59.780 obscures or more often outright negates the meaning. So don't do it. You know, we're kind

00:23:04.680 of slow on the uptake here. We like to consider ourselves pretty sturdy, conservative. We love

00:23:09.120 freedom. We're blunt here in America, but we're not. We're not actually, believe it or not, France

00:23:15.240 is doing a better job on this issue than we are. The freaking French are more conservative on this 1.00

00:23:22.380 issue than the Americans are. France is right now banning the use of gender neutral language in 0.98

00:23:30.920 schools. So there was a push a couple of weeks ago to include full stops in the middle of written

00:23:39.400 words. They'll call this midpoints, which would therefore allow both male and female forms to be 0.92

00:23:46.180 represented simultaneously. You know, France, French is a gendered language, just like

00:23:51.700 Italian and just like Spanish, like the romance languages, right? The, the, la biblioteca in

00:23:57.780 Spanish is a female word. Ends in an A, it accepts the, the article la, right? There are, there are male 1.00

00:24:07.820 words and female words. This is actually what gender referred to. It just referred to grammar until the 0.99

00:24:11.680 1960s when the use of gender as referring to sex was popularized. And that's where we got the sex

00:24:17.340 gender distinction that sent us down this crazy rabbit hole. But the French came out and they 1.00

00:24:20.820 said no. And what, what the French officials came out and said was that if you use this sort of thing,

00:24:26.840 you will actually butcher the French language. They actually saw this as a colonization by the

00:24:32.600 English, by the Americans of France, that, that wokeness, that PC is a form actually of imperialism.

00:24:39.800 How, how ironic. We're told that the whole point of wokeness and PC is to decolonize the white

00:24:45.020 supremacy. Actually, what does it do? It's actually colonizing every other culture. Now,

00:24:51.200 where can you learn all of these sorts of arcane, really behind the scenes, historical things?

00:24:59.620 You can check out a great podcast from Wondery. Wondery's new podcast miniseries,

00:25:04.820 The Vaping Fix, is a story of Silicon Valley idealism, blind ambition, and how the now infamous

00:25:11.380 e-cigarette company Juul hooked a new generation on vaping. In 2015, the founders of Juul set out to

00:25:18.820 create the iPod of e-cigarettes, a perfectly designed device that would disrupt the tobacco

00:25:24.380 industry and help traditional smokers quit. But their fruit-flavored vaping options,

00:25:30.400 high levels of nicotine, and youthful influencer endorsements led to consequences that would put

00:25:35.840 millions at risk. As plumes of vape clouds surrounded schools across the nation, parents,

00:25:41.440 politicians, and the government demanded answers. Was this Juul's plan all along, or did ambition

00:25:46.380 blind them from seeing the pitfalls of their invention? Hosted by Laura Beal and from the team

00:27:12.720 I hate to say that the French have more common sense than the Americans, but they do on this issue

00:27:18.400 of wokeness. I actually, when I was researching my upcoming book, Speechless, Controlling Words,

00:27:23.500 Controlling Minds, available now for pre-order, I noticed that even in the PC debates of the early

00:27:29.440 90s, the French said, no, we're not doing this. PC never infected France. For all their crazy, 0.85

00:27:37.420 radical, leftist, liberal inclinations, the French never really went along with PC. They're a very 1.00

00:27:42.880 politically incorrect people. And the point that the French government is making right now,

00:27:48.160 that Nathalie Elimas, the state secretary for priority education, pointing out that woke language

00:27:54.700 is a, quote, danger for our country. And the death knell for the use of French in the world 1.00

00:27:59.600 points out that, quote, with the spread of inclusive writing, inclusive writing, the English language

00:28:05.320 already quasi hegemonic across the world would certainly, and perhaps forever defeat the French 1.00

00:28:10.440 language. But the woke language is a creation of the Anglo-American culture. And when you, when you

00:28:18.500 go into other languages, notably those with gender, you're going to, you're going to impose a sort of

00:28:22.360 cultural tyranny on them. You see it with the word Latinx. You know, now it's very popular to call 0.74

00:28:27.220 Mexicans and Guatemalans and every, first of all, you've got to lump them all together. There's no 0.99

00:28:32.460 distinction anymore to be had between Guatemalans and Hondurans and Nicaraguans and Mexicans. And

00:28:40.740 there's no distinction whatsoever. They're all just the same. It used to be Hispanic. Then it was 1.00

00:28:44.560 Latino, but then Latino, that's a male term. So now it's got to be Latinx. You say, wait a second,

00:28:50.320 words don't end that way in the Spanish language. So now we're imposing English linguistic structures

00:28:56.260 on, on a foreign culture, all in the name of decolonization. Very crazy. We should learn 0.95

00:29:02.660 something from the French. Never thought I would utter that phrase. Speaking of political correctness

00:29:06.800 abroad, you got to swim across that little English channel out of France to England where the royal

00:29:12.820 family is facing a woke problem of its own. Prince Harry, you know, Prince Harry, all he wants is

00:29:20.660 privacy. All he wants is to be out of the media spotlight, which is why he just goes on as many

00:29:26.080 podcasts as he possibly can. Poor, aggrieved Harry. Harry just recently went on a show

00:29:32.500 to viciously attack his family once again in harsher terms than he has even to date and to decry what he

00:29:41.460 considers to be a genetic cycle of abuse. There's a lot of genetic pain and suffering that gets passed

00:29:49.140 on anyway. As parents, we should be doing the most of what we can to try and say, you know what? That

00:29:54.060 happened to me. I'm going to make sure that doesn't happen to you. I never saw it. I never knew about

00:29:58.200 it. And then suddenly I started to piece it all together and go, okay, so this is where he went

00:30:03.560 to school. This is what happened. I know this bit about his life. I also know that's connected to his

00:30:08.160 parents. Yeah. So that means that he's treating me the way that he was treated. Exactly. Which means

00:30:13.560 how can I change that for my own kids? And well, here I am. I've now moved my whole family to the US.

00:30:19.300 Well, that wasn't the plan. Do you know what I mean? But sometimes you've got to make decisions

00:30:23.900 and put your family first and put your mental health first. Oh my gosh, this is so embarrassing.

00:30:29.880 This man is a combat veteran. This man, this was a tough guy from a family devoted to duty and

00:30:38.180 responsibility whose whole purpose is to serve the country. And now he's whining about mental health

00:30:44.340 and the way his father was raised and his father was raised poorly too. By the way,

00:30:49.940 this guy's grandfather just died. Prince Philip, after what was it? 97 or 99 years of public service.

00:30:59.360 He finally dies after giving his life to his adopted country. And what does this ingrate do? He comes out

00:31:07.180 and he says, yeah, he was a horrible father to my father. And my father was a horrible father to me.

00:31:10.680 And I'm, I'm really wonderful. You know, I'm a good person, which is why I abandoned my family and my

00:31:15.960 country and my duty and fled to Gamora by the sea out in California. How pathetic this is. 0.97

00:31:24.840 It's, it's very unmanly and unseemly to whine. This is true for anybody. I don't care. Everybody's 0.99

00:31:32.900 got problems. Okay. One of my favorite lines is from the Tennessee Williams play Orpheus Descending,

00:31:37.940 where the, the derelict is trying to shack up with a lady and he's trying to, you know,

00:31:44.060 spend the night at her place and she won't have it. And he says, but I've got nowhere to go. And

00:31:48.860 she says, well, everybody's got a problem and that's yours. I love that line. Everybody's got a

00:31:55.720 problem and that's yours. You know, there's very popular advice, which is when you're dealing with

00:32:00.120 people, you know, just be aware they might be going through a lot. They might have a lot of inner

00:32:03.840 turmoil. So have sympathy and empathy for them. I totally agree. I think that's very important

00:32:08.600 advice. Be, don't be cruel to people. Now I sound like Elvis. Don't be cruel. Good, good advice.

00:32:17.240 You should treat every interaction with someone as though you might not get to see them again.

00:32:21.740 Very important. I know that, I know the vaccine saves and it's going to give us all immortality,

00:32:25.840 but probably that's not going to happen. So yes, be empathic, be kind to people, be charitable.

00:32:32.760 But the flip side of that is everybody's got a problem and you got yours and they got theirs.

00:32:39.720 And sometimes you got to man up and quit whining and quit blaming your parents for all of your

00:32:45.820 problems. Well, you know, but I had really terrible parents. They wouldn't even take me to the country

00:32:50.460 castle every weekend when I wanted them to. Yeah, well, you know, boo-hoo, buddy. Sorry.

00:32:55.940 Just man up for goodness sakes. I think so many of our political problems come from this problem

00:33:01.860 because the family, contrary to popular leftist propaganda, the family is in a sense private,

00:33:09.380 right? It is protected against the predations of the state, but in a sense it's public because the

00:33:14.420 family is the bedrock political institution. It's where politics begins. It's where society begins.

00:33:20.500 It's the fundamental unit of society. And as the family breaks down, as people have no respect for

00:33:27.160 their families, for their parents, they will have no respect for their broader community.

00:33:32.260 If I don't respect my own family, why am I going to respect the family of the guy two blocks down

00:33:36.200 the street? Why am I going to respect the family of the guy two states away? Why am I going to respect

00:33:41.420 my country more broadly? Patriotism is an extension of filial piety. So if we lose the latter,

00:33:47.840 we're going to lose the former. And that's what's happening. I mean, you have Harry, actually,

00:33:53.080 this is the perfect example of this. He is deriding his own country and his, or his own family rather,

00:33:57.620 and his family is the symbol of the country. They are the royal family of the UK.

00:34:03.560 But this is true at a smaller scale for all of us. And Brits are saying very stupid things these 1.00

00:34:10.220 days. They are. They are. You know, I, I love our Anglo motherland. You know, I, I love, I even like 1.00

00:34:18.280 the royal family, those German interlopers. I even like them. I do. I really like Queen Elizabeth. 1.00

00:34:24.160 But some Brits are saying really, really stupid things, such as John Oliver. It occurred to me 1.00

00:34:29.380 the other day that John Oliver is consistently vulgar. His version of a joke is just to say

00:34:36.920 some unfunny line and then yell the F word or something. And in, in, in performative outrage,

00:34:41.960 right? He does a lot of that. And with reliable ignorance, he never really knows very much about

00:34:47.160 anything, but he pretends to know a lot about it. He has very little humility and he yells and he

00:34:52.040 shrieks and he says the F word a bunch and that's supposed to pass for a joke. So in a way, the

00:34:57.580 performative outrage, the reliable ignorance, the absolute haughtiness and vulgarity. John Oliver might

00:35:06.380 be the voice of a generation. I think he really sums it all up. And now Oliver is weighing in on Israel 0.89

00:35:13.840 Palestine. A sort of hack TV comedian is finally going to clear up one of the longest standing 0.98

00:35:21.160 geopolitical religious and problems in the history of the world. All right. Solve it for me, John.

00:35:29.180 Both sides are firing rockets, but one side has one of the most advanced militaries in the world.

00:35:35.160 Both sides are suffering heartbreaking casualties, but one side is suffering them exponentially.

00:35:40.540 And it's not like the U.S. is operating from the moral high ground here. It's obviously no stranger

00:35:45.540 to drone striking weddings and saying, we were just trying to target enemy combatants.

00:35:50.400 This country has blood on its hands too. And look, if you believe Israel's actions are warranted 1.00

00:35:56.340 and proportionate this week, you're welcome to try and make that argument.

00:36:00.440 But we have got to start having this conversation honestly and falling back on convenient,

00:36:05.820 sanitized terms like real estate disputes and airstrikes on militants feels a little disingenuous

00:36:12.400 when what you're describing is forcing people from the homes they've lived in for decades

00:36:16.460 and killing civilians and children. And again, none of this frees Hamas from responsibility. 0.73

00:36:22.240 But Hamas doesn't represent all Palestinians, just as what Israel is doing right now

00:36:27.080 doesn't represent all Israelis or indeed Jewish people.

00:36:30.360 Lots is complicated here, but some things are pretty simple. One side is suffering much more.

00:36:38.940 So there is a lot of philosophical confusion here that John Oliver has and just even the point of war

00:36:46.400 and how one responds to aggressors and the distinction between terrorism and justified state

00:36:52.300 violence. We'll get into that in a second. But he's also just made a claim that is absurd on its face,

00:37:00.040 namely he says that Hamas doesn't represent the Palestinian people. But the thing is, it does. 0.91

00:37:06.280 Hamas got elected by the Palestinian Arabs. So if you believe in any way in self-government, 0.72

00:37:13.160 democracy, then Hamas very much represents the so-called Palestinians. Just like the government of 0.93

00:37:24.160 Bibi Netanyahu represents the people of Israel. It does. And so if people in Palestine don't like

00:37:34.240 the way Hamas is acting, they shouldn't have elected them. But they did elect them and now 0.99

00:37:38.240 they're facing the consequences. Also, the idea that Israel, if Hamas sends a rocket over and kills

00:37:46.660 five Israeli civilians, targeting the civilians, the idea that Israel should respond by only targeting

00:37:54.700 five, I guess, well, no one would suggest that Israel should target five Arab civilians.

00:38:01.680 But so I think there the argument falls apart already. But even the idea that Israel should 0.81

00:38:06.620 only target five Hamas operatives is insane. That's not how war works. You don't just say,

00:38:12.960 okay, we're going to, you're just going to kill one of me and I'll kill one of you and then five 1.00

00:38:16.160 and five and five and five until what? Until it goes on forever. Now, the point of war is to defeat 1.00

00:38:21.640 your enemy. That war is the extension of politics by other means, right? So unless you want there to

00:38:28.500 be a stalemate forever, which will lead to far more suffering and death and misery, then someone's

00:38:35.900 got to win. No one wants to win wars anymore though. I mean, even the way America wages wars now,

00:38:40.800 we're not permitted to win them anymore. We used to be permitted to win them. We obviously would

00:38:44.600 win them militarily. We're the greatest military force ever in the history of the world. But the

00:38:49.600 political forces here, mostly coming from the left, will not permit that sort of thing because

00:38:54.280 it's considered icky or yucky or somehow wrong to defeat an enemy, particularly when the enemy is

00:39:00.760 considered to be less powerful. But the reason that the less powerful enemy feels justified and

00:39:05.580 confident in picking on the far more powerful enemy, in this case, Hamas picking on Israel is

00:39:11.240 because they know that Israel will not be permitted to defeat them. So you've got, John Oliver is right 1.00

00:39:17.360 in saying that this is a complex situation. But his argument, what is his argument here? That the

00:39:23.120 answer is to give the Palestinian Arabs a nation state? Well, the Palestinian Arabs elected a group

00:39:29.280 that explicitly is calling for the destruction of Israel. So Israel can't tolerate that. Anybody who

00:39:33.460 thinks Israel has a right to exist, or even that it is preferable that Israel exists, can't tolerate 0.99

00:39:38.020 that sort of thing. I don't even know what his argument is, other than all these muddled 1.00

00:39:45.240 philosophical premises that representative government isn't legitimate. I guess he denied

00:39:51.220 representative government. He denied that people have the right to win war when they have war waged

00:39:56.380 upon them. And if he's supporting a so-called Palestinian nation, he's denying the right of Israel to 0.71

00:40:03.080 exist. So okay, then go out and make that argument. He's not making that argument because he doesn't

00:40:07.060 know what he's saying. He's just yelling profanity and performing his outrage. But the people who yell

00:40:12.580 a lot and who use a lot of profanity usually do so because their arguments aren't particularly sound.

00:40:17.260 Speaking of shills for Hamas, Andy Ngo, perhaps the last journalist in America, just posted a video of

00:40:25.600 some pro-Palestine hoodlums who were going around breaking into a YouTuber's family's home because

00:40:32.640 the YouTuber apparently defended Israel. And this really irritated the Palestine sympathizers.

00:40:42.140 There you go, smashing up the windows. Light goes on on the upper floor. These lunatic hoodlums

00:40:53.420 are coming in, breaking more windows, filming it too, like a bunch of dopes. Now smacking the 1.00

00:41:02.920 nice car. You hear people screaming in the house. And now they enter the house. Look at that. Look at

00:41:10.620 these criminals entering the house. Videos like this, scenes like this really, really make me happy that

00:41:18.520 I'm an American because in America we have a second amendment. If they had a second amendment in the

00:41:23.500 UK, you wouldn't see as many scenes like this because if a group of people entered my house like

00:41:28.060 this, frankly, even if they just started throwing things, they would be blown to smithereens because

00:41:33.020 people have the right to defend themselves. I guess that's a lot of what this conflict in the

00:41:38.060 Middle East is boiling down to right now too. Whether or not and how people have the right to defend 0.99

00:41:43.300 themselves and against whom. But this is the side that people are aligned with. There's so much

00:41:49.240 propaganda coming out right now, especially from the left against Israel, but really just Israel to

00:41:55.800 them as an avatar for the West generally. They consider Israel to be a sort of colony of the West

00:42:01.080 and the Middle East, which they think really should belong to Arab Muslims or something to that effect.

00:42:05.440 And the more videos like that come out and the more the details of what's really going on in this

00:42:13.640 conflict come out, I think the clearer it is. Any side that has those pro-Palestinian, pro-Hamas 0.63

00:42:21.460 hoodlums breaking into innocent people's homes and has John Oliver on it, frankly, I don't know which

00:42:26.020 one's worse. I'm just very likely not going to be on that side. We're talking a lot about bullies,

00:42:34.700 bullies in the government, bullies in the media, bullies on the global stage.

00:42:39.980 So I have assiduously avoided learning anything about Chrissy Teigen. I just, I'm very, very proud

00:42:46.420 that I don't really know anything about Chrissy Teigen. And I've told people, I don't want to know

00:42:51.260 anything. I don't think that my life would improve by knowing who Chrissy Teigen is. You know, I know

00:42:56.680 she's being canceled or something like that. And she's got, now I know she's got a line at some 0.90

00:43:02.020 department store. Then I learned she's married to John Legend. I still don't really know who

00:43:05.540 John Legend is. Apparently he's either a musician or an actor or something. So now I know that. I

00:43:09.780 wish I didn't know that. And they're both apparently, you know, huge left-wingers and

00:43:14.560 they're always calling on other people to stop being hateful and mean and they're calling for

00:43:18.540 empathy and all this stuff. And then it turns out, I'm sorry to say, I now know kind of who she is

00:43:23.060 because she has been exposed for saying vicious, horrible things to some woman. This woman named

00:43:31.100 Courtney Stodden, who apparently received all these insane messages, vicious, vile messages 1.00

00:43:36.540 from Chrissy Teigen telling her even to kill herself. And this is a woman, Courtney Stodden,

00:43:41.120 who apparently has a history of mental problems and actually attempted to commit suicide.

00:43:45.460 Here is Stodden describing the verbal abuse. 0.98

00:43:48.800 I just couldn't believe how hypocritical it was. Hypocrisy Teigen. It was just so hypocritical 0.99

00:44:01.620 of her. I think for me, like, because I experienced so much harassment and bullying from her when I was 0.75

00:44:12.760 just 16 years old, it really affected me. And I think the bottom line is I never had a chance to

00:44:19.740 forgive her. I think like I've never really, she's never given me a chance to, to forgive her. And I

00:44:28.600 guess forgiveness, right. It starts with ourselves, but it's so damaging when you have somebody like

00:44:34.800 Chrissy Teigen bullying children.

00:44:37.260 So I take it this gal was younger. She was a teenager or something when this began and the

00:44:42.540 messages were really, really vile. And so now this woman is being canceled and that's perfectly fine. 0.95

00:44:47.580 I mean, you know that my, my view on cancel culture is not, is not exactly the same view that a lot of

00:44:53.960 right-wingers are pushing. A lot of people are making the mistake on the right of saying that cancel

00:44:58.400 culture is terrible because we need to be free speech absolutists. And we need to oppose censorship

00:45:03.840 in the abstract all the time. And, and we need to never limit what people say. And I think that's

00:45:08.360 total BS. I'm all for it, man. Get, let's cancel more people. I love it. You know, in the 1950s,

00:45:14.320 we canceled communists. Awesome. We should, we should have kept doing that. I wish we continued 0.99

00:45:18.580 to do that. We canceled obscenity in this country for many, many decades, for centuries. We're still

00:45:25.980 supposed to do it on the books, but we don't do it as much. We should do that sort of thing that

00:45:29.460 compromises our freedom. So I'm all for that. And I'm all for people facing consequences,

00:45:33.440 but I, I just don't want people to have their lives ruined for saying ordinary, normal,

00:45:38.580 mainstream things, or for minor transgressions that, that even, that, or even more significant

00:45:43.780 transgressions that people repent. I'm all for canceling unrepentant people who are pushing bad 0.99

00:45:50.160 things. I think that's perfectly fine. There is obviously hypocrisy here, but I just, when I saw

00:45:55.700 the story, when I actually finally delved into who Chrissy Teigen is and what this issue is between these two

00:46:01.560 women, it, it rang so true because you see this so much from the left. The people who talk about 1.00

00:46:10.100 stopping hate and love Trump's hate, we got to stop the bullying and the meanness and the hatred and

00:46:16.240 the intolerance. They are always with, without exception, the most hateful, the most bigoted,

00:46:22.740 the least tolerant people that you ever see. And it's because of, I think these two religions, 1.00

00:46:30.360 I think it gets back right down to what we were talking about at the top of the show.

00:46:34.300 There's the religion of Christ the Redeemer with the arms outstretched, and there's the religion of 0.98

00:46:38.000 Fauci the Redeemer with, with the vaccine saves written on it. And one is, is true religion, 0.65

00:46:44.280 Christianity, and the other is the secular liberal religion of scientism. And there, one is based on

00:46:51.620 humility, one is based on pride, right? One is based on the complexity and fallenness and

00:46:57.860 brokenness of the world. And one is based on this utopian scheme that through scientific rationalism,

00:47:02.860 we're going to create the perfect world and fix human nature and cure death even, right? One,

00:47:07.320 one is based on a recognition of our mortality. One, one is based on the, the pursuit of immortality

00:47:13.480 here on earth. Those are, those are different religions. One time I got a call from a guy that I 0.87

00:47:19.060 went to college with, who I didn't really keep up with him. We weren't particularly close,

00:47:22.680 especially in later years. I, I rarely saw him. And he was big leftist and he, he got in trouble.

00:47:30.780 He committed a really bad crime, really bad, as bad as it gets. And he reached out to me.

00:47:36.640 I thought, why are you reaching out to me? I don't barely even know this guy that well. And

00:47:41.340 he said, you know, I always thought because your politics and at school, I was an atheist when I was

00:47:46.080 in college, but, but politically I was still right wing. And he said, you know, I always thought you were

00:47:49.800 a big jerk because you're politics, but I was reaching out to see if you have any advice and 1.00

00:47:53.600 just to tell you my problem. And I thought, that's strange. This, but, but then it kind of clicked 1.00

00:47:59.240 into me. In the, in the really shallow sense, conservatives, Christians, we're the most

00:48:06.120 judgmental people. We are, we will, we will look Caitlyn Jenner right in the eyes and say,

00:48:10.720 you are not a woman and I won't call you she. You can't get me to lie. I'm not going to do it.

00:48:15.200 Not going to go along, right? In the, in the very shallow sense, we're, we're extremely judgmental.

00:48:20.620 We're making judgments about the world. We're not tolerant of, of many things, but in the broader

00:48:26.500 sense, when, when the tough times come, we're by far the most tolerant people. The conservatives

00:48:35.500 and the Christians are much, much more tolerant and open-minded than the leftists. The leftists

00:48:39.980 are far crueler, far more narrow-minded here because their vision of humanity is just wrong. 0.85

00:48:45.520 They have a false anthropology. They don't seem to have a whole lot of sense of mercy for people. And

00:48:52.200 what matters to them is what they say much more than what they do. This is also a premise of

00:48:56.700 political correctness. The, the grace goes away because their, their worldview is a world without

00:49:03.680 grace, right? I mean, this is why they're so angry. This is why they're entitled. This is why they're

00:49:08.860 resentful. And I don't just mean this as personal flaws that, that everybody has to some degree.

00:49:12.760 I mean, that, that is the ideology, right? This is what, you know, BLM and knocking down the statues

00:49:17.840 and bad-maffing your own family on podcasts like Prince Harry's doing. That's the ideology.

00:49:22.760 Whereas for the conservatives, the philosophy is based primarily in our own brokenness and our

00:49:27.620 humility and our own need for grace and the grace that we've received unmerited. We, one would hope,

00:49:32.980 would give to someone else very clearly summed up in the Lord's prayer. Forgive us our sins as we

00:49:38.360 forgive those who, who trespass against us. That's what we're, that's what we're asking for here.

00:49:45.580 Those are, those are two different visions of the world. And as we, as we exalt the one, as we put,

00:49:52.340 as we put Dr. Fauci on Christ the Redeemer's head in Rio de Janeiro, we are, we are necessarily going to

00:49:59.720 lose the other. And that, that sort of propaganda is the sort of thing that would be very, very difficult

00:50:04.160 to come back from. That is a much uglier, much stupider, much less pleasant society. 1.00

00:51:05.820 The left screams in horror as a case challenging Roe heads the Supreme Court. Fauci finally admits

00:51:10.560 that he's been masking for symbolic reasons. The ties between Bill Gates and Jeffrey Epstein

00:51:14.180 come into focus after months of the media canonizing Gates. And finally, should we start

00:51:18.660 eating crickets and cockroaches instead of bacon and hamburgers? Tough question. We'll consider

00:51:23.080 that question today and much more on The Matt Walsh Show.
