Transcript
00:00:00.000
We're officially eight hours into Pride Month, and here is what has happened so far.
00:00:05.220
The cartoon Blue's Clues is teaming up with a drag queen to indoctrinate kids into LGBT ideology.
00:00:11.620
Kellogg's Serial wants kids to choose their own gender pronouns.
00:00:15.180
And a first-grade teacher is instructing six-year-olds to pleasure themselves.
00:00:19.520
Meanwhile, the leading squish Republicans out there are giving speeches about how we have to ignore all of that.
00:00:25.540
But for them, you see, perverts in virtually every powerful institution in the country preying on your kids,
00:00:32.480
it's just a culture war distraction from the far more forward-looking task of cutting taxes like it's 1986.
00:00:39.320
On the bright side, though, there is some good news out of BLM.
00:00:42.100
There's a major new expose on Dr. Fauci's role in the pandemic, and a lot more.
00:00:47.080
I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:00:56.820
My favorite comment from Friday is from Black Metal Matters, who says,
00:01:04.580
Let's make them wear dunce caps for at least that long.
00:01:08.840
I agree with the sentiment, but it's going to be much longer than that,
00:01:12.600
because the masks are still going on, and the dunce caps are unfortunately harder to find.
00:01:21.220
You know, when you want to, you know, push back against that crazy leftist woke mob,
00:01:27.820
great way to do it, listen to The Jordan Harbinger Show.
00:01:31.300
Make sure to check out Jordan Harbinger's new show, The Jordan Harbinger Show.
00:01:36.000
Jordan's show, which Apple named as one of its best in 2018,
00:01:39.680
is aimed at making you better informed, a more critical thinker,
00:01:43.100
so that you can get a sense of how the world actually works,
00:01:46.000
and come to your own conclusions about what's happening, even inside your own brain.
00:01:50.920
Each episode is a conversation with a different, fascinating guest.
00:01:54.720
When I say there's something for everyone here, I really mean that.
00:01:56.980
In one episode, Jordan talks to a hostage negotiator from the FBI who offers techniques
00:02:01.620
on how to get people to like and trust you, which sounds extremely useful.
00:02:07.920
It's very, how to win friends and influence people.
00:02:12.080
The libs did not like that very much, as you might imagine.
00:02:22.040

00:02:31.680
It's H-A-R-B, as in boy, I-N, as in Nancy, G-E-R,
00:02:35.840
on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to your podcasts.
00:02:47.560
That's according to the Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris.
00:02:52.700
She got in a lot of trouble for tweeting this out.
00:02:55.640
She didn't say, grateful to all those who've served.
00:02:58.920
Think about all the wonderful men and women who gave their lives this solemn weekend of memorial.
00:03:03.680
No, she said, enjoy the long weekend and posted a picture of herself.
00:03:07.540
And when she did that, typically, you know, as you might expect, everyone reacted on the right.
00:03:21.220
The staffers who run that account know exactly what they're doing.
00:03:24.560
To me, it was the liberal version of the Trump Cinco de Mayo tweet.
00:03:30.080
This is one of my favorite tweets Trump ever sent out.
00:03:32.240
On Cinco de Mayo, it's him eating a taco bowl in his office.
00:03:35.200
And he said, the best taco bowls in the country are at Trump Tower.
00:03:40.400
It was a perfect tweet because it totally trolled the multiculturalists and it succeeded at doing that.
00:03:49.940
The Kamala tweet, I think, was just the liberal version of that.
00:03:53.600
But instead of trolling multiculturalists, because we're not multiculturalists, it was trolling patriots.
00:04:04.140
I don't think that either tweet, Trump's Cinco de Mayo tweet or Kamala's Memorial Day tweet,
00:04:08.800
I don't think either of those cost them one little bit of support.
00:04:15.920
But there are more serious ways the left is trolling us right now.
00:04:20.280
Even, you know, disrespect to our troops, disrespect to our country, that is par for the course now on the left.
00:04:26.480
But the radicalism is getting even creepier and it's really going after kids.
00:04:31.340
So just a quick roundup now that we're, what, eight and a half hours into Pride Month.
00:04:36.940
And boy, this is one for the, for the record books.
00:04:40.080
Blue's Clues, which is a, Blue's Clues has been on the air forever, hasn't it?
00:04:47.520
Blue's Clues, a Nickelodeon show, is teaming up with a drag queen this Pride Month to indoctrinate your kids.
00:05:24.420
This is a cartoon drag queen and singing about families.
00:05:28.300
This is going to be the key, I think, to understanding the radicalism here.
00:05:37.440
Look at these, you know, various eccentric characters in the LGBT LMNOP rainbow.
00:05:42.480
It's look at these families because having succeeded at redefining marriage, now the radical sexual revolutionary left is going to try to redefine the family.
00:05:58.080
When you, a family has a natural component as well as a social component.
00:06:03.420
The natural part, of course, is men and women are different.
00:06:05.480
They come together, the birds and the bees, you know.
00:06:07.600
They call up the stork store and they get a little baby out of it.
00:06:10.300
And then this propagates onward and you can extend outward.
00:06:13.960
There are extended families, but it comes back to that mommy and daddy who get together one night and produce cute little baby.
00:06:21.460
When you redefine the family to take away that natural component, you don't, you don't create a new kind of family.
00:06:29.380
There are all sorts of social, I have a million social relationships, but they are not the same as the family.
00:06:34.900
Much like when you redefine marriage and you completely take out the sexual difference component, which has been intrinsic to marriage since the dawn of time.
00:06:44.000
You don't, you don't just get new kinds of marriages.
00:06:46.220
You actually destroy the institution of marriage.
00:06:48.400
They're not just using cartoon drag queens here to push this.
00:06:52.380
They're actually using little kids themselves to push this ideology.
00:06:55.760
So on Blue's Clothes, on the same show, they get this little girl, I don't know, she can't be more than six or seven years old, to read out an explanation of what this new sexual revolution looks like.
00:07:15.260
Pride Month celebrates that everyone should be equal, no matter who they love.
00:07:19.860
We celebrate Pride Month because people in the LGBTQ plus community who used to be treated unfairly, now they can beat themselves openly and proudly.
00:07:33.020
These flags represent different parts of the LGBTQ plus community.
00:07:38.560
This rainbow flag is called the Gay Pride Flag.
00:07:48.940
And this flag is called the Transgender Pride Flag.
00:07:55.400
Lots of different communities celebrate Pride Month.
00:07:59.580
So this is really insidious because it's not just indoctrinating kids in this new idea.
00:08:10.800
But it's not even just indoctrinating the kids.
00:08:12.840
It's actually using the kids, exploiting the kids as mouthpieces for this very radical sexual ideology.
00:08:22.040
Kellogg's has a new cereal box that is encouraging kids to choose their own pronouns.
00:08:30.920
You've obviously got it in the corporate America.
00:08:34.500
You know, all the corporations are going to have rainbows for the next month.
00:08:38.000
And then you've got it most especially in the schools.
00:08:40.760
So right now, Dalton School, which is a very posh private school, $55,000 a year to attend.
00:08:46.480
The Dalton School has been caught teaching little kids to pleasure themselves.
00:08:52.740
So it's not even just the broader ideology of LGBT and the sexual revolution.
00:08:58.900
It's actually instructing them that it is good to pleasure themselves.
00:09:03.900
So that the director of health and wellness, Justine Ang Fonte at the Dalton School,
00:09:11.580
is now being reported by the New York Post, instructing six-year-olds during her sex ed class
00:09:22.340
There's a slight viewer discretion pushed here.
00:09:27.060
You know, I would say maybe if you've got kids watching right now,
00:09:30.740
maybe lower the volume for about 60 seconds or, you know, skip one, two on there.
00:09:37.540
I almost didn't play it, except I think it's important to hear
00:09:40.080
what is being taught in first-grade classrooms now,
00:09:45.440
Hey, how come my penis gets big sometimes and points up in the air?
00:09:52.860
Sometimes I touch my penis because it feels good.
00:09:56.100
Sometimes when I'm in my bath or when mom puts me to bed,
00:10:03.340
that probably feels good to touch the same way Keith's penis feels good when he touches it.
00:10:08.360
But have you ever noticed that older kids and grown-ups
00:10:17.040
It's okay to touch yourself and see how different body parts feel,
00:10:23.540
Well, if private parts are so special, why do you cover them up?
00:10:35.240
This, I think, is the single creepiest thing I've ever seen.
00:10:42.120
You've got these little cartoon kiddie voices talking about sex.
00:10:49.220
And as Woody Allen says, sex with someone you love, right?
00:10:59.040
but you don't always want to do that in public.
00:11:01.280
Now, this is part of the sex ed class at Dalton.
00:11:04.800
The reason I even play it is not just how shocking and creepy it is,
00:11:11.260
Because the education that's being conveyed in this video
00:11:30.140
it's not okay to do these sorts of things in public,
00:11:34.060
but it's perfectly okay to do these sorts of things in private.
00:11:43.680
The Christian teaching is it's not okay to do that in private.
00:11:45.860
Jewish understanding, as far as I know, I'm no expert,
00:11:49.660
Muslim understanding, it's not okay to do that in private.
00:11:59.320
This goes back almost 100 years to theorists like Wilhelm Reich,
00:12:06.300
who said that all the problems of the world from war to disease
00:12:11.980
He had an orgone accumulator is what he called it.
00:12:15.440
It was like an orgasm box where many very intelligent leftists
00:12:23.900
I don't want to know what they did in those boxes.
00:12:31.000
He wrote creepy essays about it that he published in the Vermont Freeman,
00:12:35.280
I actually talk about this at some length in my upcoming book,
00:12:37.160
Speechless, Controlling Words, Controlling Minds,
00:12:39.500
You get a signed first edition of Premier Collectibles.
00:12:41.200
There was a very creepy focus on the need to sexualize kids.
00:12:45.220
And the reason is, if you really believe that sexual repression
00:12:48.580
is the cause of all these problems in the world,
00:12:50.940
then you can't wait until people embrace the oppression.
00:12:53.940
You can't wait until people decide they are going to repress themselves.
00:12:56.780
You've got to get them at their very youngest point.
00:13:01.360
and you've got to indoctrinate kids in this radical sexual ideology.
00:13:06.860
But for the left, it serves a political purpose.
00:13:10.440
When we want to protect ourselves from all sorts of things,
00:13:15.200
It's very important to be able to keep an eye on your house,
00:13:18.500
what's going on inside and especially what's going on outside,
00:13:22.440
because I have my cute little four-month-old baby, all right?
00:13:24.480
So I want to make sure that he's hanging out with the right crowd, you know,
00:13:27.860
when his little baby friends roll up in the Hot Wheels.
00:13:32.460
is this the right kind of baby crowd that you want to be hanging out with?
00:13:34.740
If you want to know who's at your door, I strongly recommend you check out Ring.
00:13:38.680
To get Ring Alarm for yourself, you just, it's very simple.
00:13:44.200
It's a great way to start your Ring experience.
00:13:48.400
You can see and speak to whoever is at your door,
00:13:51.220
whether you're in your home or whether you're at the office
00:13:53.600
or whether you're on vacation on the other side of the world.
00:13:59.720
If it's, you know, the pizza delivery guy, you go open to the door.
00:14:02.180
If it's your mother-in-law, maybe you, you know, you just, you use your judgment.
00:14:06.760
It makes a great gift as well because it's super terrific technology and not very expensive.
00:14:15.180
Start protecting your home today with Ring Alarm.
00:14:16.980
Go to ring.com slash Knowles to get your Ring Alarm security kit.
00:14:29.920
So you got the left focusing on this really, really creepy sex stuff and to give them their
00:14:38.700
credit, it's not just because they're perverts.
00:14:44.740
Ginning up lust, ginning up licentiousness, lecherousness, all this sort of stuff is designed
00:14:55.320
And I know that sounds kind of conspiratorial, but it's actually a very basic principle.
00:15:01.780
Free people cultivate their higher will and their intellect so they can control all of
00:15:08.960
Unfree people, slavish people just pursue their basest desires, whether that's for drugs,
00:15:16.360
whether that's for sex, whether that's for any, any sort of base desire.
00:15:19.660
The example I often use is the heroin addict, the heroin addict who just shoots up heroin
00:15:24.180
all the time, according to the modern leftist view, seems very free because he can do whatever
00:15:28.580
he wants and he can go shoot up and that's, nobody's going to stop him.
00:15:31.400
But we all know he's a slave and this is true of all of our passions and our lusts, especially
00:15:36.440
sexual ones, because it's a very big driver of human behavior, especially for dudes.
00:15:42.420
So the left does have a vested interest in breaking down all, all these sorts of moral
00:15:51.100
And the founding fathers wrote about this, right?
00:15:52.740
They said you, you should not abuse your liberty to licentiousness is very, very focused
00:15:58.960
And the whole point of pride month, it's not even just a, it's not about gay people really
00:16:03.220
I mean, I guess that's part of it, but it's about all this sort of sexual stuff, which
00:16:07.140
actually tends to have a much broader point now.
00:16:10.740
This is religious education that people are being taught.
00:16:14.080
It's a, it's a part of the liturgical calendar.
00:16:16.280
I mean, you've got the religious, you know, the Christian liturgical calendar, you've got
00:16:20.380
months to the sacred heart of Jesus or the months to the Holy family or whatever.
00:16:25.980
And in the leftist calendar, you've got months to pride.
00:16:39.900
We're following these religious longings because man is fundamentally a religious being and all
00:16:49.060
Paul Ryan, who was the former speaker of the house, right?
00:16:52.180
He was a leader of the sort of dignified Republican party.
00:16:54.820
I know a lot of people hate, I say dignified in quotes, you know, it's, I'm the Republican
00:17:00.200
I'm the sort of, you know, the sophisticated Republican, not that kind of conservative.
00:17:03.880
A lot of people have great antipathy toward Paul Ryan.
00:17:07.740
I don't, you know, I thought he was good on entitlement reform.
00:17:14.840
He gave a big speech at the Reagan library last week in which he laid out his vision for
00:17:25.000
He seems like a nice guy, but he just totally missed the point.
00:17:31.020
You've got kid, you've got kids being steeped in this insane leftist pervy sexual ideology.
00:17:38.980
And all Paul Ryan wants to talk about is going back to the 1980s basically.
00:17:44.000
So he opens up and he says, look, the party that's following Trump, we've got to stop that.
00:17:49.180
If we, if we just have this obsession with this one guy, we're not going to move forward
00:17:52.760
as a party 2020 left Republicans powerless in Washington.
00:17:58.800
Even worse, it was horrifying to see a presidency come to such a dishonorable and disgraceful end.
00:18:06.480
So once again, we conservatives find ourselves at a crossroads.
00:18:15.840
If the conservative cause depends on the populist appeal of one personality or of second rate
00:18:27.900
Voters looking for Republican leaders want to see independence in metal.
00:18:33.180
They will not be impressed by the sight of yes men and flatterers flocking to Mar-a-Lago.
00:18:36.700
Still, we win majorities by directing our loyalty and respect to voters and by staying faithful
00:18:50.160
We can't just be focused on one guy or second rate imitators.
00:18:53.700
We've got to talk about something beyond just one guy.
00:18:57.740
Even 40 years after President Reagan's first inauguration, we all remember him with a special
00:19:07.780
He was exactly the man America needed at a crucial moment.
00:19:12.640
We appreciate him only more from a distance of time now.
00:19:16.720
To this day, whenever I'm asked to describe my own political outlook, there's no term that
00:19:22.420
fits more comfortably than Reagan conservative.
00:19:25.860
Just think how different the world would look today without this one man whose arrival in
00:19:39.500
You know, it's a measure of his impact that there are statutes of this man not just here
00:19:44.620
in Simi Valley, but also in our capital rotunda, in London, in Gdansk, Poland, in Warsaw, in Budapest,
00:19:53.240
in Berlin, near where the wall used to be, and in many other places where Reagan will
00:20:03.320
You know, we've got all these stupid Trump people.
00:20:05.400
They just, all they care about is this one man.
00:20:07.520
We've got to stop that and talk about Reagan, Reagan, Reagan, Reagan, Reagan, Reagan, Reagan,
00:20:14.060
We've got to stop following the cheap imitators of that one cult of personality, you know?
00:20:31.160
But you can't attack the Trump people for the cult of personality when every other word
00:20:41.120
He comes to the issues that we've got to talk about.
00:20:43.220
We've got six-year-olds being told to do all sorts of creepy sex stuff to themselves.
00:20:47.400
We've got other six-year-olds on kids' television shows teaming up with drag queens talking about
00:20:56.860
What's going to be the big focus here, Paul Ryan?
00:21:00.020
Oh, the biggest issue is, let me check my notes, taxes.
00:21:06.280
And then there was the first major revision of the tax code since 1986.
00:21:11.440
The previous code was what people had in mind when they talked about the swamp.
00:21:17.500
That is not what people had in mind when they talk about the swamp.
00:21:20.680
When people talk about the swamp, they talk about the gigantic national security state
00:21:24.580
and intelligence gathering state that undermined a duly elected president for four years,
00:21:30.700
That's what we're talking about with the swamp.
00:21:35.700
Paul Ryan, he goes through, he says, what did we do when we were, when I was the speaker?
00:21:40.440
And he's talking about all these little things.
00:21:43.180
We did this, you know, this, that, and the other thing.
00:21:44.700
But the most important thing we did, the greatest, most conservative thing in the whole wide world
00:21:54.320
It was a constant drag on economic productivity and entrepreneurship, driving capital and jobs
00:22:03.860
It was such a fixture that few people thought it could be reformed, and most had given up trying.
00:22:09.500
We needed to lower the rates, clear away the favors and the clutter, and sharpen America's competitive edge.
00:22:18.700
I worked at it myself for two decades in Congress, and in 2017, we got it done.
00:22:25.580
This is the main reason why, at the start of 2020, the United States was seeing such powerful and inclusive economic growth.
00:22:33.680
We saw increased revenue from a broader tax base, capital and jobs coming back to America,
00:22:38.980
the best wage growth for low-income earners in more than a decade, and unemployment at a 50-year low for every demographic.
00:22:49.080
These historic reforms were a triumph of practical conservative policy,
00:22:54.060
a model of shared prosperity and upward mobility that we've always talked about.
00:22:58.260
It was the populism of President Trump in action, tethered to conservative principles.
00:23:05.160
And we conservatives have got to be careful not to get caught up in every little cultural battle.
00:23:11.180
Sometimes these skirmishes are just creations of outraged peddlers, detached from reality, and not worth anybody's time.
00:23:23.820
I don't know. I sort of lost track there for a moment.
00:23:26.520
We need to stop. Hold on. I think in my dream fugue state, I think I heard that we need to focus on cutting taxes a little bit again.
00:23:37.760
The only policy we've all agreed on since then is cutting taxes.
00:23:41.580
During that time, the definition of marriage has fallen apart.
00:23:49.280
Antifa is threatening any conservative speaker.
00:23:51.520
You're barely allowed to wave the American flag in your workplace anymore.
00:23:54.560
But hey, at least we cut taxes, the most conservative policy imaginable.
00:23:59.760
And you know, there are, look, there are these cultural distractions, culture war distractions.
00:24:06.780
We got to focus on what really matters, which is saving a little bit more money.
00:24:11.480
Which, by the way, doesn't even end up saving you money.
00:24:15.340
And it doesn't even, look, I love tax cuts as much as the next guy.
00:24:19.220
Because if all you focus on is keeping a little bit more money and you let the entire culture go away,
00:24:23.560
then the culture is going to come back and take your money.
00:24:31.040
I can't believe this guy gave this speech at this moment.
00:24:40.220
There was a big debate in the Republican Party.
00:24:44.740
Do you only pursue slightly better trade deals or, and end up actually raising taxes if you're George H.W. Bush?
00:24:50.680
Or do you go the Pat Buchanan route and actually focus on the cultural stuff?
00:24:56.760

00:26:08.760
He's going to be talking about when the demand for racism outstrips supply.
00:26:13.320
He's going to be talking about the actress Ellie Kemper.
00:26:16.380
A lot of these woke actors and actresses, I don't even know about them.

00:26:27.660
Someday when I run for office, that will be my campaign tagline.
00:26:50.700
Paul Ryan is not the only Republican politician who doesn't know what time it is.
00:26:54.460
There's another guy who is a movie star, but he seems to want to become a politician
00:27:06.960
Matthew McConaughey appeared on the Carlos Watson show, and his big move to get into Texas
00:27:17.100
Now, we talked on the show on Friday about a new study that's out that shows that the masks
00:27:23.480
The only effect they have is political, no particular medical or scientific benefit.
00:27:27.280
I know that the censors and the fact checkers are going to hate that.
00:27:40.880
I'm not believing you're really scared of this little cotton thing.
00:27:44.420
I'm not believing you really feel that takes away your identity and your freedom.
00:27:49.620
This, the mask, is a short-term inconvenience for long-term freedom.
00:27:53.520
Now, there's no data that says it's not a good thing.
00:28:09.880
It's not that I'm scared of the little cotton thing.
00:28:14.540
I find that repulsive, but I'm not, I'm not afraid of the mask.
00:28:20.260
I'm not really believing you think this takes away your identity and your freedom.
00:28:24.760
I'm not allowed, I'm just muzzled myself everywhere now.
00:28:27.700
It takes away many of my political rights, but also it does take away my identity, covers
00:28:33.500
Aristotle says man is the political animal because we can speak.
00:28:37.440
So when you muzzle yourself up, you are depriving yourself of quite a bit of your freedom and
00:28:42.740
It's a short-term inconvenience for long-term freedom.
00:28:47.600
And from the beginning, there were the pro-mask people, even pro-mask conservatives who said,
00:28:51.060
look, if we just wear the mask for a little, we can get back to normal life.
00:28:56.180
They're going to use the masks as a symbol of how we can't get back to normal life because
00:29:02.580
When you see a mask, it doesn't assuage your anxiety.
00:29:04.820
It actually makes you feel more anxious because you think, oh my gosh, we're really in the
00:29:09.040
If we had just taken the masks off from the beginning, well, I guess I did, but a number
00:29:13.380
If we as a culture had taken the masks off from the beginning, we would be in a far, far better
00:29:20.220
So McConaughey is thinking that he might run for governor of Texas or something.
00:29:27.780
This reminds us that it is good to elect people who know things.
00:29:32.460
I know that politics has always been a sort of popularity contest.
00:29:43.240
You know, Donald Trump is like Edmund Burke compared to Matthew McConaughey.
00:29:48.140
If this is the kind of statement he's making, he doesn't know anything about politics.
00:29:55.420
But in the meantime, it's kind of, kind of gets me on the Caitlyn Jenner point in California.
00:29:59.480
Why would we elect a very liberal person who maybe would cut taxes or something?
00:30:06.060
If they're going to throw away the whole culture, if they're going to say, yeah, we should all
00:30:08.980
muzzle up ad infinitum or yes, we should embrace radical gender ideology.
00:30:12.920
Why would we do that to save a little money on taxes?
00:30:20.200
But if you're going to lose the whole culture, it just ain't worth it, folks.
00:30:22.960
Yes, we'll save 30 pieces of silver on your taxes, but you'll lose the whole thing.
00:30:28.180
Now, some politicians do have their priorities in order.
00:30:30.560
I'm speaking, of course, about my friend Ted Cruz.
00:30:33.820
Ted Cruz, along with Mike Braun and Cynthia Lummis, three Republican senators, just introduced
00:30:42.220
a bill on Friday to ban the federal government from establishing coronavirus passports.
00:30:50.980
So much of the COVID fight is at the state level because that's where a lot of the mandates
00:30:55.380
are going to be enforced and where they're really going to affect people.
00:30:58.520
But you can do some stuff at the federal level.
00:31:00.500
And Senator Cruz is leading the way here, which is ban the coronavirus passports.
00:31:10.620
It is a huge handing over of our medical data to people that I don't think deserve it.
00:31:16.360
It's all for a virus that poses relatively little threat to most people, right?
00:31:21.580
To young people have basically zero risk at all.
00:31:24.700
And people who are in at-risk groups, very unhealthy or overweight people or very old people,
00:31:31.380
But there is no reason to require this insane passport to show that you've had the hastily
00:31:38.500
developed vaccine, where we're hearing more and more stories every day about issues with
00:31:45.800
Cruz, great, doing a great job, as are Senators Braun and Lummis.
00:31:49.860
Also, Dan Crenshaw and Tom Cotton, doing great stuff.
00:31:54.000
It's so rare that anything good happens out of the Capitol that I feel we should highlight
00:31:59.200
Dan and Senator Cotton came out, and they're both military veterans, and they are teaming
00:32:04.760
up to create a whistleblower form for military members if they spot woke training efforts.
00:32:10.420
You saw the Army ad that came out last month where, you know, the woman soldier says, you
00:32:16.660
know, the reason that I'm such a great soldier is because I was raised by two lesbians, and
00:32:21.440
And that's what's going to really help me kill my enemies.
00:32:23.340
And then we compared that to the Russian Army ad, which is a dog of a job, and some
00:32:29.100
guy with a neck, you know, the size of a school bus who was just like shooting guns at his
00:32:32.740
And you think, well, one of these is more intimidating than the other one.
00:32:36.140
We were told you can never criticize the sort of woke infiltration of the military.
00:32:48.100
There is no definition of freedom or tolerance that should permit us to tolerate this kind
00:32:56.380
We're now officially nine hours into day one of pride month.
00:33:01.500
Speaking of our officials overseas, some more great stuff coming out of the house led by the
00:33:07.960
new GOP conference chair, Elise Stefanik, who, you know, I've said I'm a little skeptical
00:33:12.940
She's got a bit of a liberal voting record, but this is great stuff.
00:33:22.140
I'm probably going to mispronounce a lot of these names.
00:33:23.620
Ken Buck, Michael Guest, Daryl Issa, Brian Mast, and Pete Sessions.
00:33:27.540
I just introduced the Stars and Stripes Act of 2021.
00:33:31.740
After the Secretary of State under Biden said that embassies abroad can fly the BLM flag.
00:33:38.280
And embassies abroad are flying other flags, including the gay pride flag.
00:33:41.700
This bill comes out and says that, no, the only flags that you're allowed to fly at these
00:33:48.180
embassies are the US flag, good, the flag of the country where the embassy is located,
00:33:55.860
makes sense, the flag of a state, territory, or possession of the United States, fair enough,
00:34:03.240
So, you know, the State Department flag or whatever, one of these, or the prisoner of war
00:34:08.060
missing an action flag, which, you know, in the past, what, five or six decades has been
00:34:12.500
popularized for our servicemen who were left abroad.
00:34:27.280
There is some political significance here in that the BLM flag and the pride flag are sort
00:34:34.080
of symbols of American imperial hegemony, right?
00:34:37.620
They are flags that are associated with the imperial ambitions of America because they're
00:34:42.060
transnational ambitions that seek to gin up tensions and political movements overseas
00:34:50.180
BLM about the oppression of black people and pride about sexual oppression.
00:34:54.780
So this goes well beyond national boundaries, but we should not be flying either of those flags.
00:35:00.580
Now, speaking of BLM, some, actually some good news coming out of BLM.
00:35:06.320
The founder of the Black Lives Matter chapter in St. Paul, Minnesota.
00:35:11.140
So this is the Black Lives Matter chapter in a place that is very, very involved in the
00:35:19.260
Twin cities were kind of leading the charge after the death of George Floyd.
00:35:22.060
This guy, Rashard Turner, just posted a video last week in which he said he quit BLM after
00:35:28.500
he learned the ugly truth as an insider of that group.
00:35:33.980
That's why in 2015, I was a founder of Black Lives Matter in St. Paul.
00:35:39.160
I believe the organization stood for exactly what the name implies.
00:35:45.400
However, after a year on the inside, I learned they had little concern for rebuilding black
00:35:51.240
And they cared even less about improving the quality of education for students in Minneapolis.
00:35:57.160
That was made clear when they publicly denounced charter schools alongside the teachers' union.
00:36:03.320
I was an insider in Black Lives Matter, and I learned the ugly truth.
00:36:07.720
The moratorium on charter schools does not support rebuilding the black family, but it does
00:36:12.740
create barriers to a better education for black children.
00:36:15.620
I resigned from Black Lives Matter after a year and a half, but I didn't quit working to improve
00:36:25.160
Today, I serve as the president and executive director of Minnesota Parent Union.
00:36:30.620
We're dedicated to helping parents move their children from failing schools to successful schools.
00:36:36.620
It's hard work, and we're up against forces that don't want us to succeed.
00:36:42.580
Just look at me and the hundreds of children and families we've helped to pursue a great
00:36:48.680
education, break the chains of poverty, and lead a life of success.
00:36:54.640
I'm, you know, glad to see that he's hopped out of BLM and he's doing something productive.
00:36:59.760
He said here that he was shocked because he thought that BLM was going to be about rebuilding
00:37:08.760
They're just kind of in cahoots with these crooked political organizations like the teacher
00:37:11.880
unions who are opposing charter schools, which are one of the few opportunities for poor and
00:37:17.400
disproportionately black people to break out of bad schools and get a good education.
00:37:22.680
He should have read the BLM website before he joined up because the BLM website was very
00:37:28.280
They said they don't want to rebuild the family.
00:37:32.320
They've since taken the page down, but it was up for years.
00:37:34.600
The page said, and I'm only slightly paraphrasing, Black Lives Matter seeks to disrupt the Western
00:37:48.640
It goes right back to that drag queen at the top of the show on Blue's Clues.
00:37:53.940
They're not, they're, they're not recognizing different types of families.
00:37:58.160
They are trying to destroy the family structure itself.
00:38:01.780
The same radicals who are pushing BLM and the radical pride ideology and all of these things
00:38:10.780
The family is the basic political institution and the progressive project is about destroying
00:38:16.900
all of those intermediating political institutions that prevent them from taking full power.
00:38:21.760
Because you, you are inhibited from total liberation by your family, right?
00:38:27.700
If, if you define liberation as just doing whatever you want at any given time,
00:38:30.740
if you define it as licentiousness, then the family does stop you from doing that.
00:38:34.360
Because daddy will come in and say, nope, don't do that, son.
00:38:39.260
The local institutions, the church does that too.
00:38:42.000
Which is why the left in the name of liberation seeks to destroy all of those institutions,
00:38:51.320
That's the, the natural political institution that they can't quite get over.
00:38:55.160
So they're going to put all their guns behind it.
00:38:57.160
They're going to put all of their resources and efforts behind that sort of thing.
00:39:02.720
BLM are good, useful idiots for that or, or through the radical pride ideology.
00:39:11.120
And the, the radicals are not just in BLM, okay?
00:39:14.180
It's not just Rashard Turner's former colleagues.
00:39:17.200
They're all the way up at the top of the federal government.
00:39:19.920
Joe Biden, who's, who's great political utility right now is that he doesn't seem like a radical
00:39:25.280
because he's held relatively conservative positions in the past.
00:39:28.740
And he's an extremely old guy who talks very quietly and mumbles his words.
00:39:33.340
And he just, he doesn't seem totally extreme, but Joe Biden is nothing, right?
00:39:38.240
That, that, the trick of Joe Biden is that he doesn't believe anything.
00:39:40.880
He just wakes up, he licks his index finger, figures out which way the wind is blowing and
00:39:44.560
So now old sleepy Joe is, has changed his opinion on a lot of important political issues
00:39:50.060
to follow the radical left because he thought it would help him politically.
00:39:58.000
The Hyde Amendment prohibits taxpayer dollars from going to abortion.
00:40:01.620
And it's kind of fake because we still give taxpayer dollars to Planned Parenthood.
00:40:06.020
We just say, you can't spend this money on abortion, but money is fungible.
00:40:09.240
It's not like you take a dollar and you say, okay, this dollar is going to go here, but
00:40:13.240
You just throw in a bank account and they spend it however, however they're going to spend
00:40:16.740
Still hypocrisy is the tribute vice pays to virtue.
00:40:19.060
We've had this very firm line here for years and years.
00:40:25.560
In the 2022 budget that he is proposing, that will include taxpayer funding for abortion.
00:40:32.040
And the argument he gives is actually somewhat sound.
00:40:34.640
It's ghastly, it's evil, but it's somewhat sound.
00:40:37.160
Quote, I laid out a healthcare plan that's going to provide federally funded healthcare
00:40:40.620
for all women and women who are now denied even Medicare in their home states.
00:40:44.700
It became really clear to me that although the Hyde Amendment was designed to try to split
00:40:48.360
the difference here, you might say split the baby, to make sure women still had access,
00:40:53.240
you can't have access if everybody's covered by a federal policy.
00:40:57.000
That's why at the same time I announced the policy, I announced that I could no longer
00:41:04.000
His argument is coherent, which is something that is not often said about Joe Biden.
00:41:09.140
What he's saying is, yeah, look, when we used to have a lot of different choices, when
00:41:12.800
we used to have a lot of different places that were offering health insurance, when we used
00:41:15.660
to have a lot of intermediating institutions, when we used to have all the way down to families
00:41:19.360
taking care of you, but certainly at the local community, the church, your employer health
00:41:22.500
insurance, when we had all that, we could have the Hyde Amendment because you could just
00:41:26.500
go to somewhere else that is offering you abortion access.
00:41:31.660
But now that we've destroyed all those institutions, now that you're forced or strongly incentivized
00:41:41.420
It's a one-size-fits-all policy, so we've got to pay for the abortions.
00:41:47.540
Now, I think this was the plan all along, but we are seeing this play out in real time
00:41:54.520
And it's not just the drag queens on Blue's Clues that are pushing the radicalism.
00:42:00.280
The drag queens on Blue's Clues are a symptom of the broader establishment problem of how far
00:42:06.240
Speaking of radicals in public office, it's not just Joe Biden.
00:42:10.940
We've got the most radical guy in public office, most powerful politician in the country.
00:42:18.740
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases
00:42:32.360
There is a big new report out about his role in the origins of the coronavirus.
00:42:38.260
And I know that that report did not come out of the United States because the mainstream
00:42:43.740
media here are totally in lockstep with the left and with Dr. Fauci.
00:42:49.460
You get this report in The Australian right now.
00:42:53.640
Headline, Anthony Fauci backed virus experiments despite pandemic risks.
00:43:01.820
One, Fauci did not warn Trump administration officials when the ban on gain of function
00:43:12.520
So there had been a ban up until the very first days of the Trump administration on the
00:43:17.360
kind of research, gain of function, which just beefs up natural diseases and makes them
00:43:21.580
more transmissible, more infectious, the sort of stuff that we're seeing right now with the
00:43:26.040
When that ban ended, the guy who's supposed to serve the president did not tell them that
00:43:32.080
because he thought that it would be a good thing.
00:43:34.840
Fauci had previously argued that there are risks to gain of function research.
00:43:45.340
It's all here in this report in The Australian.
00:43:47.400
But he said the benefits outweigh the potential risks.
00:43:51.640
And Dr. Fauci was, you'll be shocked to hear this, wrong.
00:44:01.140
He has lied in the past, but it's not just that he lied this time.
00:44:10.460
Trump and all the people who called this stuff a year ago, you know, I hate to say I told
00:44:15.960
And the mainstream media are having a really tough time admitting this.
00:44:18.640
So a year ago, going back to this gain of function research, going back to the Wuhan
00:44:23.720
laboratory, a lot of people said that it is not guaranteed, but very plausible that the
00:44:31.340
virus came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which had been conducting this kind of research.
00:44:35.600
We were called conspiracy theorists and idiots and rubes and dummies and unscientific.
00:44:42.080
Not that it definitely 100% came from the lab, but that it looks increasingly likely that
00:44:47.540
John Carl on ABC News had to admit that just because Donald Trump says something does not
00:44:57.260
And yes, I think a lot of people have egg on their face.
00:44:59.680
This was an idea that was first put forward by Mike Pompeo, Secretary of State.
00:45:06.220
And look, some things may be true even if Donald Trump said them.
00:45:11.460
And there was, because Trump was saying so much else that was just out of control and
00:45:16.220
because he was, you know, making a frankly racist appeal talking about Kung flu and the China
00:45:22.960
virus, his notion that put forward that this may have, or that he said flatly that this came
00:45:36.960
But now serious people are saying it needs a serious inquiry.
00:45:45.180
This, you see, unserious people, racist, evil, terrible, racist.
00:45:50.360
Because, because we said the virus came from China.
00:45:53.760
You can say the UK variant, but you can't say the China virus.
00:45:57.540
But he says, look, all these unserious people a year ago were right and all, all the serious
00:46:08.300
But now that the serious people are saying that we were, we were right, now we have to
00:46:15.860
You think maybe John Carl is confusing who the serious people here are?
00:46:19.780
Because I, I'm sort of not convinced that the Dr. Fauci's of the world and the mainstream
00:46:28.600
media of the world and the guys who got every single step of this wrong, I'm not convinced
00:46:35.480
I think maybe it's exactly the opposite of what we have been told.
00:46:44.160
By the way, you remember last week, John Cena, the Fast and Furious guy made this groveling
00:46:49.420
apology in Mandarin for saying that Taiwan is a country.
00:46:55.120
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Fast and Furious 9 is bombing at the Chinese box
00:47:00.980
The, the receipts from it dropped 85% in the second weekend.
00:47:05.600
The lesson here, I think, is just never apologize to the leftist mob.
00:47:10.060
I was talking about this with Megyn Kelly about a month or so ago.
00:47:13.440
We were talking about all these canceled, canceled people who go out and they make groveling
00:47:18.820
I'm, you know, Chris Harrison on The Bachelor or something like that.
00:47:21.920
And it's pathetic because it reminds me of that scene in Breaking Bad where, where the
00:47:27.720
brother-in-law, the cop brother-in-law is lying there, you know, the Mexican gangster is
00:47:32.740
And, and Hank, or rather Walter White says to Hank, his brother-in-law says, just, just
00:47:38.300
a grovel, please beg, apologize, just do whatever.
00:47:41.200
And, and the brother-in-law and the granny said, oh, you're the smartest guy I know, but
00:47:44.520
you don't realize this guy made up his mind to kill me 10 minutes ago.
00:47:49.900
China made up its mind 10 minutes ago before John Cena made the apology.
00:47:53.540
The question is not, am I going to get to keep my money?
00:47:56.940
The question is, am I going to lose my, lose my dignity while I lose my career?
00:48:01.720
You're going to keep your dignity or are you going to lose your dignity?
00:48:05.280
You know, China is carrying a lot of sway these days.
00:48:09.860
Again, not just on the John Cena's of the world, not just in Hollywood, all the way up to
00:48:14.220
Joe Biden is getting in trouble because he keeps quoting Chairman Mao.
00:48:19.280
There's a saying that we use in a different context, a Chinese saying, it says, women hold
00:48:28.140
It's an absolute stupid position not to make sure they represent at least half of what we
00:48:38.080
It's not just an old Chinese saying, it's a saying from Chairman Mao, the communist revolutionary
00:48:43.040
who killed tens of millions of people in China, maybe the worst mass murderer in world history.
00:48:53.840
No, there are plenty of Maoists on the left, but because Joe Biden goes along to get along
00:49:02.980
By the way though, speaking of China, China just, they had the one child policy for a very
00:49:09.720
They would force abortions and sterilization on you.
00:49:13.120
Now it's three children because they want to avoid a population collapse and they want
00:49:18.540
I think they're seeing ahead a little bit more here.
00:49:20.520
Meanwhile, here in the United States, here in the West, we are doing our damnedest to destroy
00:49:25.500
the family through policy, through culture, through radical ideologies that we're going
00:49:31.740
to have to be talking about now for an entire month.
00:50:10.240
Supervising producers, Mathis Glover and Robert Sterling.

The NBA All-Star says that he's the victim of the underlying racism of fans.
