The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 794 - White Rage Against The Machine

00:00:00.000 The last institution to have held out against leftist ideology has succumbed.

00:00:05.880 For decades, the left has hollowed out the media, the schools, the churches, the corporations,

00:00:11.140 and now even the U.S. military has gone woke as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff

00:00:17.500 frets about the supposed scourge of white rage.

00:00:24.400 Sure. First of all, on the issue of critical race theory, etc.,

00:00:29.980 I'll obviously have to get much smarter on whatever the theory is,

00:00:33.600 but I do think it's important, actually, for those of us in uniform to be open-minded and be widely read.

00:00:42.900 And the United States Military Academy is a university, and it is important that we train

00:00:48.080 and we understand, and I want to understand white rage, and I'm white, and I want to understand it.

00:00:54.700 So what is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building

00:00:59.660 and try to overturn the Constitution of the United States of America?

00:01:03.060 What caused that? I want to find that out.

00:01:05.360 I want to maintain an open mind here, and I do want to analyze it.

00:01:08.280 It's important that we understand that.

00:01:09.820 I've read Mao Zedong. I've read Karl Marx.

00:01:13.040 I've read Lenin. That doesn't make me a communist.

00:01:15.400 So what is wrong with understanding, having some situational understanding about the country for which we are here to defend?

00:01:23.620 Few things stir up my own swarthy rage, quite like hearing the chairman of the Joint Chiefs use phrases such as white rage.

00:01:32.740 But as parents of all races across the country stand up against critical race theory, transgenderism, other aspects of leftist ideology,

00:01:42.120 the establishment is doing its damnedest both to deny and to defend their kooky agenda.

00:01:48.920 I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:50.620 Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment from Friday is from Old Schooled, who says,

00:02:02.920 if you were trying to confiscate citizens' guns while simultaneously telling them they would need an F-15 or nukes to defend themselves against the government,

00:02:11.240 you just might be a tyrant.

00:02:13.640 Well, you're certainly proving the point of the Second Amendment, I would say.

00:02:17.760 If your main argument, as Joe Biden's is right now, for undermining your civil right to a gun is that the government's going to nuke you if you push back,

00:02:30.120 then I think really you are undercutting the idea that people should give up their guns.

00:02:35.120 It doesn't make a lot of sense. People need to be able to help themselves.

00:02:38.520 If you want to help yourself fix your car, by the way, I would strongly recommend Rock Auto.

00:02:43.380 So rockauto.com has a catalog that is so simple, I can navigate it.

00:02:48.520 It has prices that are so reliable, I don't need to worry about the gimmicks of buying on Tuesday morning or Wednesday afternoon or anything like that.

00:02:55.040 And it has every single part that you need for your car or truck. That's it.

00:03:00.700 And best of all, in my view, it's not going to pepster you with a thousand questions and degrade and humiliate you and then not have the part.

00:03:09.020 Like when you go into the brick and mortar store, you know, you go in there, they got a million questions about whether your car is the GX or the PX or the whatever, you know, P90X.

00:03:17.840 I don't know what kind of car. And then they go into the back of the store and they don't have any of the parts and then they order it online, probably from Rock Auto and they charge you twice as much.

00:03:23.920 Don't do that. Don't do that. You can skip that whole hassle.

00:03:27.340 Head on over to rockauto.com right now.

00:03:30.340 You can see all of the parts available for your car or truck.

00:03:33.340 They are available from hundreds of manufacturers.

00:03:37.240 You can check them all out. Same prices for pros and do-it-yourselfers.

00:03:40.760 And then most importantly, you can write Knolls, K-N-W-L-E-S, in their How Did You Hear About Us box so they know that we sent you. 0.99

00:03:47.740 Rockauto.com.

00:03:49.200 White rage. That's what General Milley wants to understand.

00:03:52.880 This is so pathetic, both in the conflation of critical thinking and critical theory. 0.74

00:04:00.420 They actually are even using the two terms interchangeably. 0.91

00:04:05.260 Critical thinking would be when you use your faculties of reason and apply them to many problems.

00:04:10.640 Critical theory is a very specific lens.

00:04:12.980 It's an academic ideology that seeks to debunk everything, dismantle everything, bring it all to criticize, right?

00:04:21.200 It's the ruthless criticism of all that exists, to quote Karl Marx, who General Milley seems to like to read quite a lot.

00:04:26.440 But it's just so disingenuous to me. 0.81

00:04:28.860 I don't think that Milley is, while he is maybe teaching all of these stupid books on Robin DiAngelo or Ibram Kendi, the chief of naval operations, Michael Gilday, defended the same sort of thing. 0.97

00:04:40.960 He said that we need to have all of this modern race hustling crap on the reading lists in the various military academies and for the enlisted guys and the ensigns and the sailors and everybody else. 0.95

00:04:51.120 But you think, okay, if you're reading all of that in the line of just sort of being well-read and understanding all the problems, if you want to understand why the hundreds, according to Milley, it was thousands of white insurrectionists attack the Capitol and the coup d'etat. 0.95

00:05:08.720 Okay, fine.

00:05:09.720 A little bit of a hyperbolic framing.

00:05:11.160 But if you want to understand that, how come we don't also have books on the reading list to understand the BLM terrorists who burned the country down last year? 0.92

00:05:20.460 I don't see a whole lot of reading focused on that problem.

00:05:24.200 You see a lot of the white rage.

00:05:26.500 Well, what about the black rage? 0.91

00:05:28.480 What about other kinds of rage?

00:05:29.560 And frankly, what about the ideological lens?

00:05:32.700 Because the left is obviously framing this as a racial thing.

00:05:35.480 I strongly suspect that it's not primarily a racial thing.

00:05:38.860 I strongly suspect it's ideological and these radicals are hiding behind race.

00:05:44.040 So where's that?

00:05:44.960 Where's the leftist rage?

00:05:46.900 Where's that reading list?

00:05:47.820 I don't see it.

00:05:48.640 Wouldn't that make you a better read, more situationally aware military general Milley?

00:05:53.120 No, because the, I mean, it would, but the arguments are just total bunk.

00:05:57.180 It is just a way of getting even the freaking top brass at the Pentagon to defend this woke insanity.

00:06:04.380 You've got the, you've got the Navy now reading how to be an anti-racist to, to better understand their country. 0.77

00:06:13.200 A book that proposes, quote, future discrimination against white people that, that is now on the professional reading list.

00:06:19.520 So this is very tricky.

00:06:22.600 The, the arguments they're making here, because on the one hand, they are defending critical race theory.

00:06:26.920 They're actually going out.

00:06:28.200 You've got the CNO, you've got the chairman and the joint chiefs openly defending this radical leftist ideology.

00:06:34.340 And then when you call them on it a little too hard, they switch from defending it to denying that it even exists.

00:06:41.280 Joy Reid pointed this out perfectly.

00:06:42.900 Joy Reid had Chris Ruffo on.

00:06:44.440 Chris Ruffo is the, the Manhattan Institute scholar who has really popularized much of what's going on in critical race theory.

00:06:52.000 Most people, I suspect, had never heard this term before Chris Ruffo made a big deal about it.

00:06:58.180 So Joy Reid invites him on her program and then denies that critical race theory has any effect on the world at all.

00:07:06.000 Well, I'll say two things.

00:07:06.960 First of all, it's very interesting to me that so many people are now running away from the race of the, the, the, the label of critical race theory.

00:07:14.120 But he's not a critical race theorist.

00:07:15.400 Hold on.

00:07:16.220 I'm going to quote two critical race theorists.

00:07:18.160 Barbara Appelbaum with the book, Being Good, Being White. 0.98

00:07:20.340 She says, quote, all white people are racist. 0.75

00:07:23.200 Robin DiAngelo, who's another critical whiteness studies scholar, says that, quote, all white identity is inherently racist. 0.96

00:07:30.900 So what you're doing is you're playing a series of word games.

00:07:33.460 You know that critical whiteness studies is a subfield of critical race theory.

00:07:37.020 No, it's not.

00:07:37.500 These things are all deeply interrelated.

00:07:39.600 They're not.

00:07:40.120 And I'm not going to let you play word games.

00:07:41.640 And this is, this is really, I think, the most essential thing.

00:07:44.200 Hold on.

00:07:44.900 No, no, no, no.

00:07:45.600 Let me respond at least once.

00:07:46.960 I haven't gotten a full sentence out.

00:07:48.280 Because I'm not going to let you.

00:07:49.660 But see, one of the things that I don't know, you probably never watched me on TV.

00:07:52.180 Just, you know, we didn't know who each other were, you know, not so long ago.

00:07:54.500 But I don't allow people to just make up and say lies on the show.

00:07:58.560 It's just not really right to do that and let people hear.

00:08:00.640 But hold on.

00:08:01.440 But let me at least get a full sentence in it.

00:08:03.400 Am I right or wrong?

00:08:03.640 Robin DiAngelo is not a critical race theorist.

00:08:06.020 And I want everyone to know that.

00:08:07.300 Robin DiAngelo, I don't know who the other woman is, but she's not.

00:08:10.020 Okay.

00:08:10.880 I don't know who the other woman is. 1.00

00:08:12.020 I don't know anything really about what you're saying here, Chris.

00:08:13.940 But I just want you to know critical race theory is having no effect whatsoever.

00:08:17.620 So this is the absolute gaslighting here.

00:08:20.080 And it's worth watching this entire 15-minute painful discussion.

00:08:24.320 I can't even really call it a discussion because Joy Reid wouldn't let Chris get a word in edgewise. 0.99

00:08:28.940 But her argument basically is this retreat into nominalism.

00:08:34.320 To use my friend Matt Peterson's phrase over at Claremont.

00:08:36.620 But she's retreating back into this point of, well, what really is critical race theory?

00:08:42.260 No, it's not a big deal.

00:08:43.820 Now, the left has made a big deal out of critical race theory for now going on four decades.

00:08:49.920 Increasingly so.

00:08:50.780 But now that someone actually called them out on it, all of a sudden they're denying it exists.

00:08:54.580 And they'll play these little semantic shifts where you'll place critical race theory in the broader tradition of critical theory,

00:09:02.860 which is a major topic of my book, which is out now for order, Speechless, Controlling Words, Controlling Minds.

00:09:08.280 Thank you very much to everyone who's ordered it.

00:09:09.940 For those who are waiting and wondering, the bell is gone.

00:09:12.440 The book is out.

00:09:13.140 The bell is gone.

00:09:13.940 But I appreciate those of you who have ordered it.

00:09:16.120 You get the audio book and you can also get the physical copy.

00:09:19.380 And I would recommend you get both.

00:09:20.820 If you place, as conservatives are trying to do, or as conservatives are trying to communicate to people,

00:09:26.280 CRT, within this broader history that goes back to the Frankfurt School, it goes back further to Karl Marx,

00:09:33.500 and it goes forward into intersectionality, into, as Chris mentioned there, critical whiteness studies,

00:09:39.860 which is what you're getting out of, you know, ethnic studies.

00:09:42.640 All of these, the broader school of grievance, school of resentment.

00:09:47.360 You recognize what a huge influence this has all had on our country.

00:09:52.160 It's not merely that CRT was invented in 1981 or, you know, and flourished during the 1980s at Harvard Law School

00:10:01.600 and a couple of other law schools.

00:10:03.120 The very point of CRT is that you can't limit it to just one academic field.

00:10:07.900 The thing has to branch out and pervade things.

00:10:10.160 This is why Martin Jay, who is a sympathetic scholar of critical theory,

00:10:14.340 and he's probably one of the most important ones that we've had who actually gives the story of this.

00:10:19.660 Martin Jay says, quoting other critical theorists,

00:10:24.080 that the genius of critical theory is that it's not just its own academic field.

00:10:28.940 Rather, it is a gadfly on other academic systems,

00:10:31.860 which is why there's no critical theory department at most universities.

00:10:36.500 There are literature departments, the ethnicity studies departments, history departments, many other departments,

00:10:43.000 and critical theory has pervaded all of them, and certainly in law school through CRT,

00:10:48.920 and certainly now in the broader culture, in the corporations, in the media,

00:10:54.020 and even in the military through this woke race hustling nonsense.

00:10:59.080 It permeates everything.

00:11:02.340 According to our national archives, America was built on structural racism.

00:11:08.960 So there was a little-noticed report that came out from a National Archives Task Force on Racism.

00:11:15.300 Oh my gosh.

00:11:16.600 Does every institution now have a task force on racism?

00:11:19.680 We're going to set up the Michael Knowles Show Task Force on Racism.

00:11:22.920 I guess we actually do that when we point out the left's hypocrisy on race,

00:11:25.920 but no one takes those reports all that much to heart.

00:11:29.900 So the National Archives, which hosts America's founding documents, right,

00:11:34.360 the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, says that there is structural racism

00:11:41.820 that has permeated American society, and the task force suggested major changes

00:11:49.240 to how the Constitution and other records are presented in order to provide, quote, context.

00:11:56.880 How on earth are they going to do that?

00:11:58.700 I think it's pretty simple.

00:11:59.440 You've got these documents that lay the groundwork for our country,

00:12:03.040 but we need to reframe how they are presented, right?

00:12:06.500 This is the same kind of language that comes up in the 1619 project from Nicole Hannah-Jones.

00:12:11.120 It's the same kind of language that you're getting in the academic movements like CRT,

00:12:15.860 and it's the same sort of framing now that you're getting throughout all of the institutions.

00:12:20.120 They believe that the founding fathers and other white,

00:12:24.900 historically impactful Americans are portrayed too positively.

00:12:31.020 And that's the issue.

00:12:32.500 When we're talking, it's not even so much the facts.

00:12:35.040 You think about the 1619 project.

00:12:36.480 It's based on a lie.

00:12:37.820 The central thesis is that America was founded to preserve slavery.

00:12:42.300 The American Revolution was fought to preserve slavery.

00:12:44.460 It's just not true.

00:12:45.840 But the lie is almost incidental.

00:12:49.080 It's almost a minor point compared to the broader issue,

00:12:51.080 which is, as Nicole Hannah-Jones says openly,

00:12:54.260 we want to reframe the history of the country to put slavery at the center of it.

00:12:59.000 I will say this is a minor pedantic point, but it does drive me crazy.

00:13:03.640 Whenever I see the word impactful, to me it's a red alert, 0.95

00:13:07.820 because the word impactful is a very, very silly word.

00:13:11.040 Some people defend it, but a thing cannot be full of impact,

00:13:15.640 and it cannot fill with impact.

00:13:17.720 It just isn't.

00:13:18.480 So whenever I see that, it's just a hint.

00:13:20.980 I'm not denying that it's a word in the dictionary.

00:13:23.520 I'm just saying it shouldn't be. 0.84

00:13:24.820 It's a very silly word that people shouldn't use.

00:13:26.920 And it's just a hint to me that people just are kind of mindlessly using jargon.

00:13:32.400 It's like the sort of people who use the word synergy with a straight face.

00:13:36.160 It's just these words that enter into our broader lexicon,

00:13:42.200 and people just sort of repeat that.

00:13:44.000 And I'm making sort of a joke about impactful here,

00:13:46.240 but you see this with all sorts of words like structural racism,

00:13:49.780 beep, boop, beep, beep, boop, structure, systemic, white supremacy, patriarchy,

00:13:54.900 beep, beep, beep, boop. 0.98

00:13:55.780 And no one knows what these things really mean.

00:13:58.260 No one can quite put their hands on it,

00:14:00.080 but they just repeat these canards,

00:14:02.180 because that helps to shape our mind and shape our culture.

00:14:05.260 So the task force, by the way, just for you trying to keep up,

00:14:10.420 says that structural racism in our founding documents includes,

00:14:15.220 quote, legacy descriptions that use racial slurs and harmful language to describe BIPOC communities.

00:14:23.240 BIPOC, you're not allowed to say people of color anymore.

00:14:26.260 You now have to say black and indigenous people of color,

00:14:28.640 because other people of color don't count.

00:14:30.020 And also, there are terrible terms you can't use,

00:14:33.380 include elderly, you're not allowed to use that term.

00:14:36.820 Handicapped, that's a terribly bigoted term.

00:14:38.700 You're not allowed to do it, according to the National Archives.

00:14:41.040 And illegal alien, which is as clinical a term as it gets,

00:14:45.240 you're not allowed to use that.

00:14:46.820 Presumably, you have to use terms like future American,

00:14:51.400 undocumented American,

00:14:52.860 imprecise terms that actually mean the opposite of what they purport to mean.

00:14:57.660 Now, this term racism is just a cudgel.

00:15:02.780 It's just a big hammer that the left uses to smack their political opponents without any

00:15:08.040 sense whatsoever.

00:15:10.000 And conservatives are still afraid of it.

00:15:11.940 We are still afraid of being called racist.

00:15:13.780 It's the worst thing you can be labeled as in this culture.

00:15:16.980 So we're just, even if we know it's just, it's not true, it's meaningless,

00:15:20.940 we're still very afraid to do it.

00:15:22.400 But Republican Representative Bob Good was just criticizing critical race theory,

00:15:28.180 which we are told is both really, really good and doesn't exist, right?

00:15:31.700 Those are the simultaneous arguments coming from the left.

00:15:34.420 And as he's describing this on a House of Representatives conference call,

00:15:38.400 on just a Zoom session,

00:15:40.440 Democrat Rep Don Norcross,

00:15:43.220 bereft of arguments,

00:15:44.420 unable to push back against what Representative Good is saying,

00:15:48.460 just randomly yells out racist.

00:15:50.960 You can just see this past week in Virginia's Loudoun County,

00:15:54.740 one of the largest counties in Virginia,

00:15:56.500 the Board of Education there,

00:15:57.760 rather than face parental criticism,

00:16:00.460 they shut down public comment,

00:16:01.980 they adjourned the meeting,

00:16:03.100 and they actually called the police to come in and arrest parents who had gathered

00:16:07.140 to express their grievances with government and local school officials.

00:16:11.420 I hope that you will not nationalize the culture war that started in Virginia

00:16:16.360 and bankrupt critical race theory with hard-earned taxpayer dollars.

00:16:21.140 Racist, right?

00:16:22.380 Wow, so brave.

00:16:23.560 So brave, Representative Norcross.

00:16:26.560 Gosh, that really makes me think about this subject in a new and fresh way.

00:16:30.480 Because you see,

00:16:31.260 before I was just trying to understand why these parents are rising up

00:16:34.220 against critical race theory and its various derivations in the schools

00:16:37.800 and what the motive is.

00:16:38.720 But now you've explained to me. 0.98

00:16:40.060 Racist! 0.94

00:16:41.720 Wow, gosh. 0.90

00:16:43.760 You know, back 70, 80 years ago,

00:16:47.140 in our rhetoric in the West, in the Anglosphere,

00:16:50.360 you would have phrases like,

00:16:51.960 we shall go on,

00:16:53.020 we shall fight on the beaches and in the streets,

00:16:55.440 we shall never surrender.

00:16:56.860 You had, you know, sort of Churchill's rhetoric.

00:16:58.500 But now we have the beautiful rhetoric of Norcross and the Democrats. 0.95

00:17:02.300 Racist! 1.00

00:17:03.380 You're a racist! 1.00

00:17:04.800 Okay, they can demagogue all they want. 0.99

00:17:07.760 They can try to get us to shut up about CRT and its related fields.

00:17:12.660 They can defend it and they can deny it

00:17:15.260 and they can just try to muzzle us with that word racist.

00:17:18.060 But, the fact is, we're right about this.

00:17:21.900 The parents recognize it.

00:17:23.760 I know that these elite politicians don't believe that ordinary people

00:17:27.680 ought to have a say in their children's education

00:17:29.740 and in their political communities.

00:17:30.960 But they will.

00:17:31.840 And I don't care what General Milley or the Chief of Naval Operations 0.89

00:17:34.960 or this ridiculous Democrat congressman or anyone else has to say, 0.85

00:17:38.320 or Joy Reid or anyone else has to say about it. 0.53

00:17:40.640 Because the theories, the ideological frameworks around CRT

00:17:47.480 and intersectionality and wokeness and PC,

00:17:50.220 it's all the same stuff, are having a huge effect.

00:17:53.200 There was a U.S. Olympic track and field trial on Saturday.

00:18:00.800 And one of the women athletes, Gwen Berry, was a hammer thrower.

00:18:06.180 Okay.

00:18:06.760 Speaking of using hammers to smack down our opponents,

00:18:11.000 Gwen Berry was there.

00:18:12.920 She placed third.

00:18:14.800 There were two other athletes there in the trials.

00:18:17.520 And they'd begin playing the national anthem.

00:18:20.400 So, the two good patriotic athletes stood and faced the flag with their hands on their hearts.

00:18:27.400 And this anti-American narcissist, Gwen Berry, 0.99

00:18:30.880 turned to the side, hand on her hip, to take a photo.

00:18:34.480 She's probably auditioning to be the next Nike spokesman. 1.00

00:18:37.120 And she refused to respect the flag.

00:18:40.540 Unfortunately, I guess she's still going to go to the Tokyo Olympics with the United States. 0.90

00:18:45.680 Now, if I were running the show, I would not permit that.

00:18:49.060 I would kick her off of the team because she obviously hates her country. 1.00

00:18:52.460 And therefore, we should not have her representing our country at the Olympics.

00:18:57.180 I don't care.

00:18:57.900 She may or may not be a good athlete.

00:18:59.540 I can't say that I'm familiar with her accomplishments.

00:19:02.620 But I don't care if she's the best athlete on the team. 0.55

00:19:05.020 She hates her country. 0.98

00:19:06.120 So, you don't have a right to be on the team if you hate your country.

00:19:09.000 It's a very basic thing.

00:19:10.200 The entire point of the Olympics is to go and represent the best and the strongest

00:19:14.940 and the most wonderful of our country and to put our country first.

00:19:18.040 So, she begins to play.

00:19:20.680 She then wears a t-shirt that says activist athlete. 0.75

00:19:24.500 She then tweets out a picture of it.

00:19:26.900 She says, stop playing with me.

00:19:28.460 I wish we would stop playing with this woman. 1.00

00:19:30.380 I wish she would not play on the American Olympic team. 0.99

00:19:33.600 And then she said, my purpose and my mission is bigger than sports.

00:19:37.180 I'm here to represent those who died due to systemic racism, whatever that is.

00:19:42.140 That's the important part.

00:19:43.360 That's why I'm going.

00:19:44.760 That's why I'm here today.

00:19:46.700 Goodness gracious me.

00:19:49.000 Kick this gal off the team. 1.00

00:19:51.800 This is what worries me.

00:19:53.160 If CRT and intersectionality and critical theory broadly were just confined to a handful of Marxist cranks in the academy, that would be one thing.

00:20:03.960 If it were, as Joy Reid pretends that it is, just confined to Harvard Law School, that would be fine.

00:20:10.320 It wouldn't be good, but Harvard's kind of a lost cause at this point, so we'll just let the institution rot.

00:20:17.200 But the problem is, it bleeds out.

00:20:20.180 I guess at the heart of this denial that CRT is broader than just one law school's academic theory, is this denial of the belief that ideas have consequences.

00:20:29.960 A denial of the belief that when you have an idea, even if it begins in a law school, that it then has effects throughout the broader legal system, throughout the broader university system, throughout the broader culture.

00:20:41.120 And it obviously does.

00:20:43.460 This theory that places white supremacy and bigotry and wickedness and evil at the heart of the American story, that is having an effect on our Olympic team.

00:20:54.200 And therefore, it's a problem.

00:20:56.820 Therefore, this little academic theory actually is a political problem for the community.

00:21:01.940 And AOC is coming out here.

00:21:04.700 And she's saying, ignore.

00:21:06.220 Ignore what you are seeing.

00:21:07.920 Ignore everything. 0.99

00:21:10.100 Do not believe your lying eyes.

00:21:12.020 Because you can draw direct correlation between the insanity that has been plaguing our universities through things like CRT and crime in the streets.

00:21:23.160 You can draw a direct line.

00:21:24.620 When Charles Kessler at the Claremont Institute called the 2020 Summer of Hate, called the BLM riots, the 1619 Project riots, Nicole Hannah-Jones, who started 1619, said she was honored, that she was proud for them to be called the 1619 Project riots.

00:21:42.640 She was proud that her cultural and somewhat pseudo-academic movement was having real effects in the streets.

00:21:51.740 She said, that's great.

00:21:52.920 And that's obviously what is happening through CRT and through the other movements.

00:21:57.220 They don't want to own up to it.

00:21:58.700 And now AOC is coming out and she's saying, don't believe your lying eyes.

00:22:02.960 Ben is going to be talking about the effect of all of this on the elections in 2022.

00:22:08.040 Ben seems to believe that the Democrats are in for a real bruising in a couple of years.

00:22:12.520 I guess those elections, the campaigns will really start next year.

00:22:15.320 Also, do not forget about the Clarence Thomas documentary, Created Equal, that tells his story of becoming a Supreme Court justice.

00:22:22.320 The movie did very, very well with audiences.

00:22:25.020 And then it was removed from Amazon.

00:22:27.820 Isn't that so strange?

00:22:28.680 During Black History Month, of all things.

00:22:31.280 Who knows why?

00:22:32.320 I can't imagine.

00:23:07.140 I'm sorry.

00:23:07.800 Go order, order Speechless.

00:23:08.880 Controlling Words, Controlling Words.

00:23:09.800 We're still in the top books on Amazon.

00:23:11.480 They actually are right now, I think, because the book is doing so well.

00:23:14.460 They just instituted a sale.

00:23:16.980 As of this moment doing the show, the sale is still on.

00:23:20.080 It's like 36% off.

00:23:21.880 I think that's only going to be going on for a day, maybe two days.

00:23:25.040 So go pick up a copy, especially if you've been checking out the audio book.

00:23:28.560 It's nice to be able to go back and forth.

00:23:29.820 Thank you to those who have ordered.

00:23:30.980 We'll be right back with a lot more.

00:23:32.000 There have been pretty big spikes in crime around the country.

00:23:47.540 I'm thinking of Chicago, where murders and shootings are up 50%.

00:23:50.600 I'm thinking of places like New York and Los Angeles, where crime is clearly spiking before

00:23:56.060 our very eyes.

00:23:57.060 But, you know, the left often believes that you should not care about what's going on in

00:24:02.300 practice when you could instead focus on what's going on in theory.

00:24:06.340 And in theory, AOC believes everything is fine.

00:24:09.120 And this fear of crime going through the roof.

00:24:11.520 Well, it's nothing more than Republican hysteria.

00:24:15.520 We are seeing these headlines about percentage increases.

00:24:18.940 Now, I want to say that any amount of harm is unacceptable and too much.

00:24:24.460 But I also want to make sure that this hysteria, you know, that this doesn't drive a hysteria

00:24:29.820 and that we look at these numbers in context so that we can make responsible decisions

00:24:34.680 about what to allocate in that context.

00:24:39.120 You need to look at the murders going up 50% in context.

00:24:44.020 You know, what context, lady?

00:24:45.540 If this is going on on our streets, we want to get rid of it.

00:24:48.920 And I just don't think that this line of argument is going to work for Democrats who are trying

00:24:55.520 to win over voters for 2022 and 2024.

00:24:58.320 Assuming that we can get our election system back into order, assuming that we can get some

00:25:02.860 of the safeguards against fraud back into order, those safeguards were taken away in large

00:25:07.880 part during the 2020 election and the excuse was the coronavirus lockdowns.

00:25:12.340 But now the Democrats are trying to make that permanent through a naked power grab and perversion 0.98

00:25:16.740 of our electoral system called HR1 and S1.

00:25:19.520 Thankfully, it was shot down for now.

00:25:20.800 We'll see how long that lasts.

00:25:22.360 So assuming you get all that in order, you're going to have to win over voters.

00:25:25.880 And what AOC is saying here is you're being hysterical.

00:25:30.960 If you're worried about your communities, if you're worried about the safety of your family,

00:25:34.040 you're just being hysterical.

00:25:35.720 Come on.

00:25:36.940 This is BS. 0.85

00:25:38.600 This is just the tricks and traps of white supremacy.

00:25:42.020 I don't think so.

00:25:43.560 I don't think it is.

00:25:44.300 Not just race that is causing people some problems.

00:25:48.320 It's not just this race hustling.

00:25:49.920 There's also this radical sexual politics.

00:25:52.760 It was a video just came out from a spa where a woman is going up to the manager and complaining

00:25:58.080 because the spa has a transgender policy and the spa allowed a dude to go into the women's 1.00

00:26:05.460 changing room and just strip down in front of the women. 1.00

00:26:10.220 And the women don't want to have to see this. 1.00

00:26:12.920 I don't think women and little girls should be forced to see naked grown men with all of

00:26:17.120 the various appendages.

00:26:18.540 And the staff says, sorry, there's nothing we can do.

00:26:20.780 He says he's a woman.

00:26:21.620 He's a woman.

00:26:22.760 You don't.

00:26:23.520 So it's OK.

00:26:24.420 I just want to be clear with you.

00:26:26.060 It's OK. 0.99

00:26:27.400 It's OK for a man to go into the women's section, show his penis around the other women, young 1.00

00:26:34.380 little girls under age. 1.00

00:26:36.380 Your spa, we spa, condone that.

00:26:39.360 Is that what you're saying?

00:26:41.300 Like I asked.

00:26:43.080 It's so he could stay there.

00:26:45.300 He could stay there.

00:26:48.180 But sexual orientation.

00:26:49.360 I see a it lets me know he's a man.

00:26:53.580 He's a man.

00:26:55.240 He is a man.

00:26:56.540 He is not no female. 0.92

00:26:58.100 I love this woman.

00:26:59.520 I love.

00:27:00.160 So what this woman is showing, by the way, you can hear the way she's speaking is a little

00:27:05.260 colloquial.

00:27:06.880 It's not academic.

00:27:08.540 It's not fancy.

00:27:09.980 I suspect this woman doesn't go to sort of soirees at the critical race theory organizations

00:27:16.980 movement at Harvard College.

00:27:18.940 She doesn't sound like that at all.

00:27:20.480 She's speaking much more bluntly and directly.

00:27:22.740 She also doesn't sound white, right?

00:27:24.360 We're told that the only people who oppose these radical policies are white supremacists 0.66

00:27:29.600 and whatever.

00:27:30.040 This woman doesn't sound particularly white to me.

00:27:32.340 And she's going out there and she's saying, hey, get that dude out of the women's changing 1.00

00:27:35.920 room.

00:27:36.340 And the guy behind the counter says, well, no, you understand because of the sexual orientation.

00:27:41.180 She says, what about sexual orientation?

00:27:43.160 I don't see sexual orientation. 0.95

00:27:44.600 I see a phallus.

00:27:46.020 OK, that lets me know he's a man.

00:27:48.040 But I love the way, you know, you could probably sit through about 10 hours of sexuality studies,

00:27:56.960 women, sex and gender studies at Harvard or Yale or somewhere else, and have them try 1.00

00:28:01.800 to explain to you the meaning of the deconstruction of the gender and the this and the that.

00:28:06.040 And then this woman could go up there and she'd say, OK, here's my counterpoint. 1.00

00:28:08.780 I see a phallus.

00:28:10.060 That's that's what lets me know that he's a man.

00:28:12.080 So, you know, gosh, we could have saved ourselves all that time, all that jargon to just know,

00:28:17.120 yes, that is what lets you know that he's a man.

00:28:20.260 And it's obviously wrong to force women and little girls to change, to strip naked in front

00:28:26.380 of dudes and to have to see naked dudes in their changing room. 1.00

00:28:30.000 That's obviously wrong.

00:28:31.000 And no amount of philosophizing by these kooks and cranks on the campuses is going to change

00:28:35.800 that.

00:28:36.440 So you're seeing this come up, especially at the school boards right now.

00:28:41.120 But I bet you're going to see more videos like this as this crazy sexual politics continues

00:28:46.120 apace.

00:28:46.940 I think you're going to see women finally push back. 0.98

00:28:49.380 And I don't think it's going to be the super duper elite white supremacist, whatever, you

00:28:54.640 know, what the sort of caricature of the people who run the country.

00:28:58.320 It's not going to be that.

00:29:00.000 It's going to be ordinary people of all sorts of races with just even a modicum of common 0.99

00:29:06.860 sense.

00:29:08.480 Not not just what they tell us it is.

00:29:11.940 So Chip Roy, who's a congressman down in Texas, he is venting this frustration, this

00:29:18.680 white rage. 0.64

00:29:19.920 I don't think it's just white.

00:29:20.820 I think it's there is a bit of rage going on, but I think it's rage in response to the

00:29:27.340 left's rage.

00:29:28.140 I think that the indignation that conservatives feel right now is in response to, say, BLM burning

00:29:34.960 the country down, both ideologically for many years, but also literally last year.

00:29:41.080 I think it's in response to our politicians not serving the people on many important issues,

00:29:48.100 notably on immigration.

00:29:50.260 Our country can't enforce its most basic law.

00:29:52.920 It can't even preserve its own borders as a country.

00:29:55.080 And so Chip Roy down in Texas is looking at the situation.

00:29:58.780 He's saying a lot of Texans are wondering what what the advantage is to us to be in a

00:30:04.480 union in the in this United States that won't do its most basic job and is just leaving us

00:30:10.820 open to a surge of foreign nationals pouring over every day.

00:30:15.600 Every state in the union should send resources to the state of Texas to help us secure the

00:30:20.200 border because that government, Texas is going to secure this border. 0.98

00:30:23.360 If the United States of America is failing to uphold its end of the bargain of our having

00:30:28.240 a union, and I've got people in Texas that are starting to rattle about what are we getting

00:30:32.360 out of this equation?

00:30:34.660 What are we getting out out of being a part of a union that won't secure its own border?

00:30:39.040 Because you know what?

00:30:39.900 It's our border, too, as a Texas state, and we have a duty as a state, as a sovereign people

00:30:46.020 to defend ourselves.

00:30:47.500 This is pure John Locke kind of stuff, the first duty of government to secure the people and

00:30:52.740 secure us and take care of our communities.

00:30:55.400 So what's the point?

00:30:56.980 What are we getting out of?

00:30:57.780 I mean, you are seeing this fraying of the country.

00:31:01.980 And if there is rage on the part of conservatives, it's because we're watching this whole thing

00:31:07.740 collapse around us.

00:31:09.080 We're watching now our Olympic athletes are not expected to salute the flag.

00:31:12.700 Well, why not?

00:31:13.780 Because our other athletes in the NFL are not saluting the flag.

00:31:17.300 They're actually protesting the flag.

00:31:18.580 Why else?

00:31:19.900 Because our politicians now in the Democratic Party are disrespecting the flag and protesting

00:31:25.500 the flag and encouraging the riots.

00:31:27.920 And the current, the sitting vice president of the United States was bailing out rioters

00:31:31.860 during 2020.

00:31:32.900 And Hillary Clinton, the previous Democratic nominee for president, was encouraging civil

00:31:38.780 unrest.

00:31:39.640 She said, you can't be civil with a political party that opposes what you think.

00:31:44.140 So that's an explicit call for political violence against all of your opponents.

00:31:49.740 Maxine Waters, the same thing, all of these guys.

00:31:52.800 And so conservatives that, not even just conservatives, just ordinary people are looking around and

00:31:56.720 saying, hold on, we're not conserving the border.

00:32:00.660 We're not conserving our traditions.

00:32:03.560 We're not conserving our love of country.

00:32:05.060 We're not even conserving the ladies changing room.

00:32:08.080 What are you people doing?

00:32:09.780 What are you doing?

00:32:11.520 And it's not just the Democrats.

00:32:12.900 I mean, the Democrats are the problem here.

00:32:15.240 They're the ones who are really, I think, leading the charge to disintegrate the country.

00:32:19.980 But the Republicans, at their very best, are feckless.

00:32:23.040 The very best, they're doing nothing other than occasionally cutting taxes.

00:32:27.720 I like a tax cut as much as the next guy, but that ain't going to solve the problem.

00:32:33.300 On any serious issue, any meaningful cultural issue, the Republicans have flopped.

00:32:40.220 They've caved over the past several decades.

00:32:43.680 So it's no wonder.

00:32:44.980 I do not advocate disintegration of the union, but it's no wonder that Chip Roy's constituents

00:32:49.620 are telling him, hey, what are we getting out of this?

00:32:52.900 It seems like all we're doing is give, give, give.

00:32:55.740 And we're not getting anything out of this union.

00:32:58.860 I think probably a lot of ordinary Americans are feeling that way.

00:33:02.040 Speaking of the southern border, by the way, you now have, you now have President Joe Biden,

00:33:08.400 poor old Joe Biden, just trying to keep up with the political prevailing winds.

00:33:12.500 He has now embraced the term Latinx.

00:33:16.460 You know Latinx.

00:33:17.320 This is the new term.

00:33:18.980 Originally, about four or five decades ago, you had Mexicans and Guatemalans and Salvadorans

00:33:25.460 and Hondurans and Nicaraguans.

00:33:27.260 You had people from the Latino world, from Latin America, who had their own distinct nationalities.

00:33:33.540 Then, through the machinations in no small part of groups like the Ford Foundation, of leftist groups

00:33:40.060 that saw the success of the black civil rights movement and wanted to model different racial

00:33:46.500 solidarity progressive movements after that, they created this idea of the Hispanic.

00:33:50.940 Then, Hispanic became Latino. 0.93

00:33:53.300 But, Latino, you see, is not very intersectional because the O implies that the man has a special

00:33:59.320 role here, right?

00:34:00.060 Latino is masculine. 0.99

00:34:01.940 But, it can't just be Latina.

00:34:03.620 So, they made it Latinx, which is not a Spanish word at all.

00:34:07.300 And, Spanish, of course, is a European language that came over when Christopher Columbus invented

00:34:12.000 Hispanic people by landing on the shores.

00:34:14.100 So, all of that to say, quite complicated.

00:34:17.720 A representative, Carlos Jimenez, is a Latinx representative.

00:34:25.020 He's a Republican in Florida.

00:34:26.720 And, he just eviscerated President Biden for using this silly term that has no significance

00:34:33.600 in his own community.

00:34:36.000 Can I ask you, as a fellow Hispanic American, what your thoughts are on the fact that, I found

00:34:42.200 it really demeaning, frankly, that comment there that, you know, all Hispanics are afraid of

00:34:47.500 being deported.

00:34:48.500 I also don't like the term Latinx.

00:34:50.180 I don't even know what the heck it means, to be quite honest.

00:34:52.620 What are your thoughts on that?

00:34:54.220 I didn't even know what that meant either.

00:34:56.360 So, I don't know.

00:34:58.560 I really don't know.

00:35:00.040 Look, I'm Hispanic.

00:35:02.260 I'm a legal immigrant.

00:35:03.420 I'm a citizen of the United States.

00:35:04.660 I'm a U.S. congressman.

00:35:05.800 And so, no, we are just like everybody else.

00:35:11.340 We came here looking for a better life.

00:35:15.720 My father, my mother brought me here looking for a better life, escaping socialism and communism

00:35:21.120 in Cuba.

00:35:22.600 And we're really proud to be Americans.

00:35:25.500 And so, that somehow we're different than anybody else and that we're afraid we're going to be

00:35:31.100 deported, no, that's not the case.

00:35:34.340 And so, you know, I think the president really is out of touch.

00:35:38.080 He's obviously out of touch.

00:35:39.700 He goes on to say that there is a racist undertone to the implication that Latinos are all

00:35:46.800 undocumented, that they're all illegal aliens.

00:35:49.100 Obviously, many came here legally. 1.00

00:35:50.660 And Latinx, he says, is the stupidest thing he's ever heard of, which is, quote, insulting 1.00

00:35:57.520 to our culture to try and restructure an entire language to fit your politics. 1.00

00:36:02.160 Yes, keep your wokeness out of our language, he says. 1.00

00:36:04.740 But the thing is, wokeness and language are the same thing.

00:36:10.200 The perversion of language is the primary vehicle of wokeness.

00:36:16.720 It's the primary instrument by which wokeness advances, which coincidentally is the topic

00:36:21.460 of my book, Speechless, which many of you are reading right now and I appreciate.

00:36:24.420 And those of you who haven't ordered it yet, you can order it and then you'll know exactly

00:36:27.600 what the congressman is talking about.

00:36:29.220 A lot of people just want to speak freely.

00:36:31.780 This is what so many on the right, but also kind of in the middle and also disaffected liberals

00:36:38.720 are saying.

00:36:39.700 And I'm thinking in particular about Winston Marshall, who's a musician from the band Mumford

00:36:43.900 and Sons.

00:36:44.800 I really like Mumford and Sons, actually.

00:36:46.140 I don't listen to a lot of contemporary music, but I've always enjoyed Mumford and Sons.

00:36:50.160 And you might remember a few months ago, Winston Marshall committed the unforgivable sin of

00:36:55.960 reading Andy Noe's book about Antifa and having enjoyed it.

00:37:00.120 So he said, oh, I liked this book.

00:37:02.060 This got him canceled.

00:37:03.760 And at the time, Winston attempted to placate the mob.

00:37:08.100 And I thought this was a big mistake.

00:37:09.840 He tried to say, hey, look, I'm learning and I'm sorry.

00:37:13.340 And please don't, please take me back.

00:37:15.440 Take me back.

00:37:16.200 And I, at the time, I thought of the final, one of the final scenes of Breaking Bad when,

00:37:22.160 when Hank, the cop brother-in-law is lying on the ground, the gangster standing over him

00:37:26.480 with a gun about to shoot him.

00:37:27.640 And Walter, you know, Bryan Cranston's character says, just apologize.

00:37:32.900 Just say it's okay.

00:37:33.660 Just say you want to arrest him.

00:37:34.840 And Hank turns to me and says, oh my gosh, you're the smartest guy I know, but you're 1.00

00:37:37.520 too stupid to realize he made up his mind to kill me 10 minutes ago. 1.00

00:37:40.460 That's just like the mob. 1.00

00:37:42.120 And so they did not accept his apology.

00:37:44.600 They continued to cancel him.

00:37:45.760 He's just announced he's leaving Mumford and Sons to speak freely.

00:37:48.620 I think we got to know this is the way it's always going to work out.

00:37:51.460 The choice is not between being canceled or being uncanceled.

00:37:54.360 The choice is between when that mob comes for you, keeping your dignity or losing your

00:37:59.980 dignity.

00:38:02.780 Freedom requires limits.

00:38:05.520 It's as simple as that.

00:38:06.820 I think this is the biggest lesson that people are learning right now.

00:38:10.080 You're seeing it in the arguments over the curriculum in various schools and over critical

00:38:15.240 race theory and over transgenderism and all of this stuff.

00:38:17.540 There was a Japanese soccer player, Kumi Yokoyama.

00:38:24.620 She's a soccer player on the Japanese women's national team, as well as on the Washington

00:38:29.420 Spirit, which is apparently an American soccer team.

00:38:32.780 And Kumi Yokoyama has come out and said that she is transgender.

00:38:38.300 And she posted a video about this.

00:38:40.000 It's in Japanese, so we're not going to play it.

00:38:41.680 My Japanese is a little rusty.

00:38:43.280 But she came out and said that she is trans.

00:38:45.280 She previously said she was a lesbian.

00:38:46.860 Now she's transgender, which I guess makes her a straight man. 0.78

00:38:51.000 I'm not particularly interested in these soccer teams, and I don't know anything about this

00:38:55.360 woman.

00:38:55.700 But if she is now transgender, if she is now saying that she is a man, my simple question 0.79

00:38:59.900 is this.

00:39:01.540 Is she going to be kicked off the team? 0.98

00:39:04.100 Because she's on a women's team, right? 0.99

00:39:07.740 But now she says she's a man.

00:39:09.120 But no one's asking if she's going to be kicked off of the team now.

00:39:15.180 Presumably she will not, even though she's, according to the logic of transgenderism, she 0.99

00:39:20.660 is 100% fully a man now.

00:39:23.180 She should not be allowed to play on the team.

00:39:24.800 But what this really gets to is, there are always limits to speech, to behavior, to freedom,

00:39:35.580 to the natural world.

00:39:38.100 When this leftist here's tumbler is a tumbler, it's not a book.

00:39:42.540 This is a book and this is a tumbler.

00:39:44.120 It's not.

00:39:44.400 When a thing is defined, right, when a thing is a thing, it is not other things.

00:39:50.560 It is not things.

00:39:51.540 Let me try to bring this down to earth a little bit more.

00:39:53.720 I guess we talk about this in the classroom.

00:39:55.660 If two plus two equals four, then two plus two does not equal five.

00:39:58.660 And you have to kick the idea that two plus two equals five out of the university.

00:40:03.040 You need to ban it from the classroom.

00:40:05.560 And if someone says that two plus two equals five, you need to punish that person with a

00:40:08.640 bad grade.

00:40:09.960 Now, this is illiberal and authoritarian, some people would suggest.

00:40:13.120 It's not.

00:40:13.500 It's acknowledging that if a man is a man, he is necessarily not a woman. 0.63

00:40:17.720 And by the way, I'm even granting the illogic of transgenderism here. 0.99

00:40:20.740 I'm even saying that a man can become a woman.

00:40:23.360 Let's just say, let's just go with that.

00:40:25.900 If he becomes a woman, then he's necessarily not a man and is not permitted to be on the 0.99

00:40:31.660 team if that team is a single sex team.

00:40:34.620 You have to make distinctions.

00:40:37.000 This is the whole process of language is distinguishing one thing from another.

00:40:41.800 And so it's obviously going to be exclusive.

00:40:45.200 You can't just live and let live.

00:40:47.460 Hey, man, we'll just let's just be cool and tolerate everything.

00:40:50.780 I mean, this is the great genius of someone like Herbert Marcuse, one of the most influential

00:40:54.780 critical theorists, father of the new left, who says in that infamous essay, Repressive

00:41:00.280 Tolerance, that you can't tolerate intolerance.

00:41:03.820 And all the conservatives went after him for it.

00:41:05.780 He was right.

00:41:06.800 He was totally right.

00:41:08.040 You can't tolerate intolerance.

00:41:10.760 You can't.

00:41:11.160 That would be self-undermining.

00:41:13.200 And so you've got to make these distinctions.

00:41:15.820 You've got to take on certain ideas.

00:41:16.980 You've got to kick other ideas out.

00:41:18.080 Now, speaking of just limits, we are now seeing voter laws around the country, notably in Georgia,

00:41:24.280 to try to reinstate the election integrity measures that we had until last year.

00:41:30.100 And the federal government doesn't like this.

00:41:32.420 The Biden administration, the attorney general Merrick Garland, they do not like this idea.

00:41:37.300 And so they're going to sue Georgia for trying to protect their election system.

00:41:40.440 Today, the Department of Justice is suing the state of Georgia.

00:41:46.820 Our complaint alleges that recent changes to Georgia's election laws were enacted with the purpose of denying or abridging the right of black Georgians to vote on account of their race or color in violation of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.

00:42:02.560 Several studies show that Georgia experienced record voter turnout and participation rates in the 2020 election cycle.

00:42:13.440 Approximately two-thirds of eligible voters in the state cast a ballot in the November election just over the national average.

00:42:22.640 This is cause for celebration.

00:42:25.700 But then in March of 2021, Georgia's legislature passed SB202.

00:42:30.580 Many of that law's provisions make it harder for people to vote.

00:42:36.760 The complaint alleges that the state enacted those restrictions with the purpose of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race or color.

00:42:46.800 So I want to give Merrick Garland credit here.

00:42:49.300 He's right.

00:42:49.820 The Georgia law does make it harder for certain people to vote.

00:42:53.940 Makes it harder for dead people to vote. 0.99

00:42:56.720 Makes it harder for people who don't live in Georgia to vote.

00:42:59.820 Makes it harder for political operatives to vote on behalf of other people who are in Georgia.

00:43:04.480 It does.

00:43:05.000 It actually does limit the vote to only the people who ought to be voting.

00:43:10.100 It's not about race or sex or this or that.

00:43:13.700 It's about the integrity of the election system.

00:43:16.420 This is a naked power grab here by the federal government.

00:43:19.960 And by the way, do you want to know the proof that the federal government knows

00:43:22.800 that these laws are intended to beef up election integrity?

00:43:28.240 They are admitting in their own federal election power grabs.

00:43:32.420 Here, you've got the DOJ going in and trying to fix this through lawsuits.

00:43:36.540 But the Congress is also trying to do it through the Corrupt Politicians Act, H.R. 1 and S.1.

00:43:40.460 And they admit in the law that their proposed changes are going to register a lot of ineligible voters to vote.

00:43:50.780 The reason for this is they give immunity to illegal aliens who vote illegally.

00:43:57.880 They give legal immunity to them.

00:43:59.440 So what the law first does is it registers a ton of illegal aliens.

00:44:03.880 Then the Democrats deny that the illegal aliens are being registered.

00:44:07.120 But then the Democrats put in a special provision saying that when the illegal aliens inevitably vote,

00:44:12.580 to some degree, they're going to receive legal immunity.

00:44:16.480 Okay?

00:44:16.720 They know that when you get rid of, when you have widespread mail-in ballots,

00:44:20.580 that even Obama admits is susceptible to fraud,

00:44:22.960 when you have election day turn into election season,

00:44:25.860 when you have automatic voter registration,

00:44:27.900 when you have unsecure ballot drop boxes,

00:44:31.320 when you have all these things,

00:44:32.480 then the problem of voter fraud, which exists in every election to begin with,

00:44:36.040 is going to get much worse.

00:44:38.520 And so they're trying to actually defend against that.

00:44:40.240 And Merrick Garland is now doubling down on that.

00:44:42.740 That is his, that is his hope.

00:44:45.360 By the way, before we go,

00:44:46.900 Wajahat Ali, he's a leftist blue check and journalist.

00:44:50.280 He just tweeted out, he said,

00:44:51.820 I feel America has forgotten we're in the middle of a pandemic

00:44:54.240 that's killed more than 600,000 people.

00:44:55.960 There's a deadly Delta plus strain.

00:44:57.460 And our kids are still not vaccinated.

00:44:59.320 Kids who are at statistically no risk.

00:45:01.420 Sigh.

00:45:01.880 I see packed restaurants and people inside stores and malls,

00:45:04.680 and their kids aren't wearing masks.

00:45:06.580 I feel like I'm in a horror movie.

00:45:08.860 I feel like I'm in a horror movie.

00:45:10.580 You have the left in this country

00:45:12.660 looking around at just ordinary life,

00:45:16.460 ordinary normal country going around without muzzles on your face all the time. 1.00

00:45:20.740 And they view that as a horror movie.

00:45:22.780 They're viewing our traditional way of life as an absolute horror,

00:45:26.860 and they're trying to undo it.

00:45:28.180 And it's why I think you're seeing just a touch of rage across all demographic groups.

00:45:32.660 It's just a touch of rage on the other side,

00:45:35.240 because they don't, they don't view our country as,

00:45:38.120 we do not view our country as a horror movie.

00:45:40.360 We want to preserve something.

00:45:41.540 The only horror we see are the people trying to upend the entire culture.

00:46:46.580 There's a catastrophic lack of gratitude in this country.

00:46:49.160 It's become a real epidemic, in my opinion,
