The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has released another apocalyptic report about the perils of the sun monster,
00:00:45.860
which it now describes as a, quote, code red for humanity.
00:00:50.120
The news could not come at a worse time when humanity is already on the brink of extinction from the Wuhan cough.
00:00:57.560
And to mark the occasion, hundreds of the world's most prominent climate activists and COVID communicators
00:01:04.420
just flew to Martha's Vineyard, many of them on private jets,
00:01:08.460
to dance around maskless at Barack Obama's 60th birthday party.
00:01:26.340
My favorite comment yesterday, not yesterday, it was like a week ago.
00:01:37.600
That is such a good, simple observation because that's what Barack Obama is showing us.
00:01:44.280
That is what all these climate hypocrites are showing us.
00:01:49.400
And when you want to protect yourself from all those prying eyes,
00:01:51.900
I would strongly recommend you check out ExpressVPN.
00:01:54.940
I do not go online anymore without a VPN on my computer and on my phone and on any other device that I use.
00:02:01.320
I can say with full confidence that ExpressVPN is the best VPN on the market.
00:02:08.960
Lots of cheap or free VPNs make money by selling your data to advertisers.
00:02:14.860
Well, if they're going to do that, what's the point of using a VPN?
00:02:19.980
They even developed a technology, trusted server, that makes their VPN servers incapable of storing any data at all.
00:02:29.120
It's a new VPN protocol they engineered to make user speeds faster than ever.
00:02:34.760
Let's me stream videos in HD quality with zero buffering.

None of the things that these people want you to believe are among the things that they believe.
00:03:16.920
They insist that you believe something, whether it's that the sun monster is going to destroy
00:03:20.280
the world or COVID is going to kill everybody or, you know, everyone needs to triple, quadruple
00:03:26.200
And that's the only way we're going to be safe.
00:03:29.860
And the way that I know that they do not believe that is that they do not behave as though that
00:03:34.180
Barack Obama just had his 60th birthday party amid not just the global pandemic, but amid
00:03:50.040
Go back to all the restrictions unless you're Barack Obama.
00:03:56.520
He got a lot of backlash because he initially planned to invite about 500 guests and about
00:04:01.740
And then when he got the backlash, his spokesman said it would only be close friends and family.
00:04:08.300
There were hundreds and hundreds of people there because some photos leaked.
00:04:11.160
Then the photos all went back down, but the internet is forever.
00:04:14.600
So Barack Obama was just having a grand old time with everybody.
00:04:21.180
You don't see a single mask in the entire place.
00:04:24.880
Not the musicians, not the guests, certainly not Barack Obama, not the staff.
00:04:33.060
Really weird, really weird videos going around from this event.
00:04:37.960
Obviously, none of these people are worried about the woo flu.
00:04:42.300
They want you to be really worried about it, but they themselves are not worried about it.
00:04:46.600
This also shows that there are two sets of rules.
00:04:51.300
There is one set of rules for the elite, and then there is one set of rules for everybody else.
00:04:56.100
One New York Times reporter actually defended the party.
00:04:58.900
And said that the Obama's only invaded sophisticated vaccinated people.
00:05:11.900
There are the sophisticated vaccinated people, and then there's the rest.
00:05:14.920
But, but, we were also told that the virus is spreading among the vaccinated people.
00:05:22.140
We were also told that the viral load, especially of the Indian Delta variant that the vaccinated people are carrying, is similar to the viral load that unvaccinated people are carrying.
00:05:31.400
So if the idea is we've got to stop the spread, then it doesn't matter if you're vaccinated or not.
00:05:35.320
Frankly, it doesn't matter if you've even taken the negative COVID test.
00:05:44.280
Unfortunately, I was in France for my friend's wedding.
00:05:47.280
And fortunately, the new COVID rules where you've got to show your past to the Gestapo and show a proof of vaccination, that actually had not gone into effect yet.
00:05:56.440
That didn't go into effect until yesterday as I was flying back to America, the land of the free for now.
00:06:02.060
But I was on the flight and I finally realized how nobody actually believes any of this stuff with COVID and it's the scariest thing ever and we've all got a lockdown.
00:06:13.140
We all have to wear the masks because they make a big point of telling you on the airlines and in the airports that you have to wear the mask, that it doesn't matter if you're vaccinated.
00:06:23.340
It doesn't matter that you had to show a negative COVID test.
00:06:25.960
You actually had to show a negative COVID test to get on the plane back to the United States.
00:06:30.900
Remember, all of these people, none of whom have COVID, according to very recent tests, still have to wear the mask the whole time.
00:06:41.180
Okay, totally blows Obama's cover on his party.
00:06:44.900
But that's how dangerous COVID is that you cannot, you can't take it down.
00:06:49.800
No, you can't take the mask down for that until they serve you a drink or until they serve you a hamburger or until, and I kid you not,
00:07:00.360
they actually did this on the flight, they came over and served a nice, delicious, warm chocolate chip cookie.
00:07:09.520
COVID is so dangerous that we have to muzzle ourselves for a year and a half and can never take it down,
00:07:14.380
even if you're triple, quadruple vaccinated with 17 negative COVID tests.
00:07:18.740
Unless there's a warm, delicious cookie, in which case you can.
00:07:22.040
If it were that big a deal, they would just nix the cookie.
00:07:25.060
But they're not nixing the cookie because none of them believe any of this nonsense.
00:07:31.660
I've noticed something else when I was in France, which is, and this is so shameful, this is so embarrassing for me to say for my own country.
00:07:40.780
The French people are more sane about the coronavirus than we are.
00:07:47.280
The French government is just as crazy as the U.S. government, if not crazier.
00:07:55.100
The French people are just not as insane about this.
00:07:58.100
You walk into a place you don't have a mask on, it's not a big deal.
00:08:01.360
You get into a car, hey, do you need me to put the mask on?
00:08:07.780
The whole point of the vaccine is that then you do not catch the virus.
00:08:17.720
Among the French people, among the government officials, that's quite a different matter.
00:08:25.260
But it really, when you travel abroad, it really makes you, sure, you learn about some other culture,
00:08:30.400
but it really makes you see your own culture much more clearly.
00:08:35.760
When I would go to Italy sometimes as a kid, I'd think, man, I really miss America.
00:08:43.360
Oh man, you go, you travel to other places and you really see your country more clearly.
00:08:47.160
And I think when we get a clear look at our country right now, probably we're not going
00:08:52.760
Ann Applebaum, a liberal journalist, just tweeted out a few days ago in response to Tucker Carlson's
00:09:00.620
She said, in Orbán's Hungary, Victor Orbán, the right wing leader in Hungary, in Orbán's
00:09:05.840
Hungary, 90% plus of the media are controlled by the ruling party.
00:09:09.640
Businesses are physically and legally harassed if they don't tow the party line or if someone
00:09:29.520
90% of the media controlled by the ruling party.
00:09:31.640
Businesses physically and legally harassed if they don't tow the party line.
00:09:37.780
Gee, what other country does that sound like, Ann?
00:09:45.340
I've never heard of, oh, wait a second, that perfectly describes our own country.
00:09:50.020
But she can't see it or she's choosing not to see it because she is within that dominant
00:10:00.380
I'm glad that I got to see France right before the insane lockdown rules went into effect because
00:10:06.800
our leaders here, our ruling party, which our ruling class includes the Democratic Party,
00:10:13.260
the leaders of the institutions, meaning the big corporations, the mainstream media,
00:10:18.200
high education, low education, big tech, all of it, they are working in concert to force
00:10:27.020
us all to toe the line on the masks, on the vaccine, on the tests, on the everything.
00:10:33.640
Even Nancy Pelosi, who had previously, Pelosi and Joe Biden had been fairly modest about what
00:10:40.440
they said were going to be the COVID regulations when they were asked, even just a few months
00:10:48.920
They said, no, the American people, they aren't ready for that.
00:10:53.920
Now they are signaling, and it's not just the Democratic Party, it's their proxies in the
00:11:00.360
Now they are signaling that the France-style, full-on Gestapo, show-me-your-papers lockdown
00:11:09.440
It really makes you want to stop relying on these people for your livelihood.
00:11:15.660
It really makes you want to do things for yourself.
00:11:17.300
When you want to fix your car yourself, I would strongly recommend you check out Rock Auto.
00:11:21.840
RockAuto.com just makes it easier to get the auto parts that you need.
00:11:27.040
It's so much easier than walking into that store, and then you get the questions.
00:11:41.160
Yeah, okay, and what color, and what this, and what that, and the GT, and the X3, and
00:11:46.940
And then, the irony, of course, is that the person in the brick and mortar goes into the
00:12:01.160
RockAuto.com always has the lowest prices available.
00:12:04.580
They've been serving auto parts customers online for 20 years.
00:12:07.840
They do not change the prices for pros and do-it-yourselfers.
00:12:13.820
See all the parts available for your car or truck, and then write Knowles, K-O-W-L-E-S,
00:12:17.940
in their How Did You Hear About Us box, so they know that we sent you.
00:12:21.560
Nancy Pelosi, April 29th, 2021, said, in response to a question over whether or not they will mandate
00:12:28.260
vaccines for Americans, they said, we cannot require that someone be vaccinated.
00:12:42.020
It is a matter of privacy to know who is or who isn't.
00:12:46.000
I can't go to the Capitol physician and say, give me the names of people who aren't vaccinated
00:12:49.960
so I can go encourage them to, or make it known to others to encourage them to be vaccinated.
00:12:58.220
Okay, so in this case, Nancy Pelosi is speaking specifically about her House members.
00:13:09.700
Now, Nancy Pelosi, threatening to do the very thing that she said it was not possible to do.
00:13:15.620
Several House Democrats have called for the Capitol physician to institute a vaccine or test
00:13:23.460
You've previously said that members can't be compelled to get vaccinated because it's a matter
00:13:28.760
of privacy and you can't know who is and isn't vaccinated.
00:13:32.660
Do you still hold that belief and do you see some merit in a vaccine or test mandate?
00:13:40.780
What I said was that we are guided and have to be guided by the guidance of the Capitol physician.
00:13:48.420
He has made those contentions and when weighing the equities take us to a different place,
00:13:58.600
Now, in a matter of maybe days or weeks, the full approval will be given to the vaccines
00:14:05.320
and that, I think, will make a difference in terms of what we can do.
00:14:10.880
Now, it should go without saying that what Nancy Pelosi just said she said is not what she actually
00:14:17.040
said. She did not say that the Capitol physician is going to be the one to determine whether or not
00:14:24.080
she can get this information from members and demand they be vaccinated. What she said was,
00:14:28.680
it is wrong. We are not able to. It is a matter of privacy that we cannot go to the Capitol physician
00:14:33.580
and ask these sorts of things. Then she just sort of flips that around and says, yes, we can do it.
00:14:39.260
She obviously never believed what she said in the first place, namely that she couldn't force people
00:14:45.340
to get vaccinated. She was simply biding her time. She was simply exercising the political power she
00:14:52.220
felt that she could exercise at the time she could exercise it. And now she's going to exercise more.
00:14:57.300
Now, this is why, of course, none of these people have any credibility in the media, in the public
00:15:02.460
health establishment, in the elected democratic party. They don't have any credibility whatsoever.
00:15:06.920
You should not believe a word that they say. They have, I don't think they had a lot of credibility
00:15:10.580
before the COVID stuff, but during the COVID stuff, they have squandered what little they had.
00:15:15.400
They're liars. They don't like you. They want to rule over you and they do rule over you and they
00:15:21.240
will get you to comply if you do not resist. And they might get you to comply even if you do
00:15:26.360
resist. The crux here of the matter in Pelosi's new argument is the full approval to the vaccine.
00:15:32.600
Don't forget, all of these people thus far who have pressured you to get the vaccine are pressuring
00:15:39.740
you to get an experimental drug. The vaccine, the multiple experimental drugs, the Pfizer, Moderna,
00:15:45.960
Johnson and Johnson, and any of the others that are, that have been in development. The reason that
00:15:53.340
it does not, that it is an experimental drug is it does not have a full FDA approval. It has an
00:15:59.180
emergency use authorization. I'm not saying anything about the effectiveness of the vaccine,
00:16:05.700
far be it from me. I'm just pointing out that the emergency use authorization gives special liability
00:16:11.020
protections for the makers of this vaccine, for the people pushing this sort of vaccine.
00:16:15.080
And what she's saying now is, yeah, when it was an emergency use authorization,
00:16:20.060
it was tough to mandate that everyone get it. But once it's got full FDA approval,
00:16:24.760
then, then we will be able to force everyone to get it. Maxine Waters,
00:16:29.540
one of the more honest members of Congress in her, she doesn't even often hide her radicalism or her
00:16:35.180
explicit calls for violence against her political opponents. Maxine Waters is just saying flat out,
00:16:39.840
we're moving toward a vaccine mandate. Do you think that there should be a vaccine mandate?
00:16:45.740
I think we're moving toward a mandate. This is very dangerous. And I think we're finding that
00:16:52.720
people are dying and younger people are being attacked by this virus. And so I think we're
00:16:59.260
going to have to be very careful. We're going to have to be dedicated to the proposition that we're
00:17:04.400
going to get everybody vaccinated and that we're going to stop what I think could be a lot of deaths
00:17:12.220
that would take place without doing it. Well, certainly health care workers should be vaccinated.
00:17:17.200
It is unbelievable that we had health care workers that were not vaccinated. And so that is a must
00:17:24.160
in the Congress of the United States. I think we should also have the mandate that you must be
00:17:30.180
vaccinated, that you must wear the mask. We must social distance because, again, you know,
00:17:36.240
the Delta variant is a killer. Yeah. She doesn't believe that. None of these people believe any of that.
00:17:42.000
They're not behaving as if they believe that. When COVID was in the height of its surge and at the
00:17:47.600
apparent height of its virulence, all of these people supported BLM rioting in the streets,
00:17:53.260
burning down the country, rubbing shoulder to shoulder. They just don't believe it.
00:17:57.460
Angelo Cotevilla made this point. Angelo Cotevilla from the Claremont Institute made this point about
00:18:03.020
political correctness. And I mentioned it in my book, Speechless, which is that political correctness
00:18:08.240
is very often less about the substance of what they want to change. It's very, it's often less
00:18:14.340
about the specific words or the specific behaviors. And it's much more often about the imposition
00:18:20.260
itself. And that is what this is about here. That is what the mandates and Maxine Waters and Nancy
00:18:28.140
Pelosi and the rest of them, that's what they're talking about. They are showing that they have the
00:18:34.240
right to impose these things upon you. And moreover, getting back to Barack Obama's birthday party,
00:18:41.640
that they have the right to violate the rules whenever they want without consequence,
00:18:46.240
without consequence whatsoever. There was a video that went viral yesterday and I had just
00:18:52.260
left Paris. I had just left the very place that this video was taken of people sitting at outdoor
00:18:58.440
cafes, many of which I frequented last week without being harassed by anyone demanding my papers.
00:19:04.240
where the police now show up and demand to see a vaccine card.
00:19:12.860
You can see the cops walking up to, I don't know if they're tourists or
00:19:16.520
French citizens themselves, police walking through the streets and they have to produce the digital pass
00:19:24.440
on their phones. And the digital pass makes it very, very easy to enforce this sort of thing
00:19:32.700
because it's not as though you can fake a digital pass. I think that'd be probably much more
00:19:36.420
difficult depending on the enforcement measures. It's not as though you have any excuses to why
00:19:42.200
you wouldn't have your digital pass. Everyone's sitting out there on their phone. So the cop just
00:19:46.680
comes over and says, okay, show me your pass. This is why it's going to be very important that people
00:19:52.180
like Pelosi and Waters and the rest of them, the American left and a lot of the squishes on the right
00:19:57.840
two are going to be pushing for this sort of thing. The only difference, the only difference between
00:20:04.080
these two countries that is preventing the United States ruling regime from instituting this stuff
00:20:08.820
is that we have a more robust system of federalism. So in France, they don't have this idea that the
00:20:14.780
various states can push back against the federal government. The states have specific rights that
00:20:18.640
the federal government can intrude on and the people have certain rights that actually can't be
00:20:21.480
intruded on either. That does not really exist in France. Here it does. And so it will be entirely
00:20:26.680
incumbent upon the governors to hold out against this kind of stuff, to not turn over vaccine
00:20:31.800
information to the federal government, to not create digital passes like already exist in New York,
00:20:37.160
right? The liberal states are already moving toward the digital passes. The conservative states are
00:20:40.960
not. They have to hold the line on that as well. That is some dystopian stuff that's being pushed
00:20:47.960
by liberal regimes around the world. I mean, the Parisians are furious about this. There were
00:20:52.160
hundreds of thousands of people out in the streets when, when this regulation was first proposed by
00:20:57.540
the leader of France, Macron. So people, the people much more normal, but, but it doesn't really matter
00:21:04.260
because the ruling regime has the power. One way that they're going to be able to push this, by the
00:21:08.620
way, is not even through the heavy hand of government. One way that they're going to be able to push
00:21:12.620
this, that's really going to confuse conservatives, especially the kind of conservatives who have just been
00:21:16.280
carrying water for the regime for the last 20 years. The kind of just talking point right winger is that
00:21:21.980
they're going to do it through private companies. So right now, United Airlines is going to mandate
00:21:25.140
the vaccine for all employees. This is the first move for a domestic U.S. airline. They're going to
00:21:33.460
mandate that 67,000 people get the COVID vaccination. They will do this and demand it five weeks after the
00:21:44.400
vaccines are fully approved by government officials or by October 25th, whichever date comes first,
00:21:49.420
according to reports. So even if by October 25th, the vaccine is still an experimental drug without
00:21:54.360
FDA approval, United Airlines is going to force that to happen. This is the point of Donald Trump's
00:22:01.300
lawsuit against big tech. When Donald Trump says big tech is violating my first amendment rights,
00:22:06.200
all of the sophisticated people, all of the really smart, genius lawyers, they laughed at him and they
00:22:11.660
said a private entity cannot infringe on your first amendment rights. It's only the government that
00:22:17.660
can infringe on your first amendment rights. But the point of the lawsuit is that the government is
00:22:21.420
using these so-called private companies as proxies to enforce its will. And by the way, Biden admitted
00:22:27.040
that it was doing as much. That's what's going on here with the vaccination regime. The liberal
00:22:31.480
establishment is relying on quote unquote private companies to do its bidding. Now, I think the important
00:22:36.580
thing for conservatives to remember here, by the way, is that the issue is not whether or not a
00:22:43.180
company has a right to mandate a vaccine. It's not whether or not even a school district or something
00:22:49.380
has the right to mandate a vaccine. Lots of companies and private entities and school districts
00:22:54.020
already do mandate certain vaccines. So I think if conservatives make the argument that they have
00:22:58.080
no right, you know, my body, my choice or something, which is by the way, not, not something that we
00:23:01.700
believe in. We do not believe my body, my choice. We're pro-life, right? That we think that there are
00:23:05.980
other considerations here as well. What we have to focus on is the prudential question. The wisdom
00:23:13.280
of mandating this vaccine, this vaccine, which is still an experimental drug for a virus that nobody
00:23:20.700
is all that seriously concerned about, including and most especially the liberal elites who are making
00:23:27.180
the biggest ruckus about it. You know who's not a liberal elite? The people who run my pillow.
00:23:34.940
You know how much I love all of the MyPillow products. They're a great conservative patriotic
00:23:40.320

00:25:41.920
Vaccine mandates are not only coming from governments around the world, they're coming
00:25:54.940
potentially from our own government as well. But Joe Biden, I think, just undercut his case
00:25:59.280
for the vaccine mandate because according to President Joe Biden, 107% of Americans have
00:26:09.260
already been vaccinated. I said again and again, this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated.
00:26:16.640
So we have to get more people vaccinated. I said, well over, what's the number again? I remind
00:26:24.380
myself, 350 million Americans have already been vaccinated. They're doing fine.
00:26:31.580
Good news, buddy. That's great. I'm so glad we're doing 350 Americans in a country of 328 million
00:26:38.440
people are doing fine. Maybe what Joe Biden is admitting here is that there are a lot of illegal
00:26:43.660
aliens in the country. Maybe there are many more than even you and I knew about. Maybe he has secret
00:26:47.780
numbers or maybe he has absolutely no idea what he's talking about and he's flubbing the messaging,
00:26:52.460
which he has done from the beginning of this. Because by the way,
00:26:55.200
even as of five minutes ago, the argument has not been that this is a pandemic of the
00:27:00.260
unvaccinated. We've been told that the vaccinated are transmitting the virus and are carrying the
00:27:07.140
virus in similar viral loads as the unvaccinated people. But the argument has been that the
00:27:11.860
vaccinated face less severe consequences. They face a lesser risk of death. And yet we're then told
00:27:18.620
at the same time that we've all still got a mask up. We've all still got to lock ourselves down,
00:27:22.220
even if you are vaccinated. Very confusing messaging, but it's not the most confusing
00:27:26.620
messaging that the White House has put out on COVID this week because they have relied once again
00:27:32.720
on a social media influencer. This one, I had never heard of him before. I sort of hope I never hear
00:27:41.680
of him again, but I did watch this video so that you don't have to delve through all the piles and
00:27:48.640
piles of horrific viral videos around. I watched this. This is from Benny Drama. He played the role
00:27:55.700
of a White House intern filmed in the White House with members of the White House staff, including
00:27:59.940
Jen Psaki, to convince all the unvaccinated people to go get the vaccines.
00:28:05.540
One sec. Democracy's calling. See you, daddy. Bye.
00:28:08.880
Hi, my name is Cooper, and this is a day in my life as a White House intern.
00:28:18.800
Usually, I start off with a big coffee. Sorry, they're like really strict in here.
00:28:24.220
Hey, Jenny. I booked you a nail appointment, love.
00:28:29.200
Hi, White House. This is Cooper. I don't think so. Oh, doesn't matter.
00:28:34.300
This is actually the entrance to the West Wing. This is so fun, and it's really prestigious.
00:28:42.360
No. We've come a long way in our fight against this virus. We've vaccinated 160 million Americans.
00:28:49.800
Are you getting this all down? Don't worry, Queen. It's all right here.
00:28:55.560
Hey, Jen, don't forget to have fun. Spirit fingers, mama.
00:28:58.940
We need to get shots in the arms of every single American.
00:29:02.740
I'm heading to a haircut. Comment if you want me to make more of these.
00:29:05.340
I don't even know exactly what I just watched. I don't know what parts of it were supposed to be
00:29:12.100
funny or persuasive. But I do know this. According to the Democratic Party, the people who are not
00:29:20.720
getting vaccinated are conservative, right-wing, Christian, Bible-thumping Republicans in the red
00:29:27.860
states, right? That's what we're told from the liberal establishment. It turns out the group of
00:29:32.500
people least likely to be getting vaccinated are actually black Americans, who I think their
00:29:38.520
vaccination rates right now are like 28% or something like that. Black Americans overwhelmingly
00:29:43.040
vote for the Democratic Party. But because the Democrats don't want to acknowledge that it's
00:29:47.340
actually a largely a group of their own voters that are not getting vaccinated, they try to blame it
00:29:53.080
on conservative, Christian, right-wing Republicans in the red states, many of whom also don't want to
00:29:57.600
get vaccinated either. And the White House decided that the best way to persuade conservative,
00:30:06.660
right-wing, Christian, Bible-thumping voters in the red states and black voters as well is with an
00:30:14.380
officiously, flamboyantly gay, gender-bending, Zoomer or millennial TikTok influencer. That's what's
00:30:26.820
going to do it, right? That nothing, nothing those Bible-thumpers or those sort of vaccine-hesitant
00:30:33.620
black Americans love more, right? Famously, historically, nothing, nothing they all love more
00:30:37.920
than very, very officiously, sexually revolutionary, gender-bending young white liberals, right?
00:30:49.120
But no, of course not. Of course not. The video won't persuade anybody. And it doesn't matter.
00:30:54.500
They don't care because the White House doesn't actually need to persuade anybody because the
00:30:58.560
entire thing is about scoring political points and none of them are actually that worried. Because if
00:31:02.900
they were that worried, they would actually put someone on the video that might be able to persuade
00:31:07.800
either the right-wing evangelicals or the black voters in the cities, but they don't because
00:31:13.180
it's not a big deal. If they actually care, they wouldn't serve the warm cookie on the airline,
00:31:17.440
okay? They just make you wear your masks all the time because the virus is so super-duper deadly.
00:31:23.640
It's the deadliest thing in the history of the world. Or they'll say, take your mask off,
00:31:28.440
eat the cookie, it's fine. But you can't simultaneously say both things. Speaking of our representatives,
00:31:35.840
you know, I'm kind of down on our representatives these days. But there was one representative who
00:31:41.000
really came to the national attention while I was in France. And so I didn't want to miss out on
00:31:47.800
acknowledging her wonderful performance. I don't even know how to pronounce her name. Tamira
00:31:52.480
Mensah Stock. I don't, you know, I don't watch the Olympics. I don't keep up with these sports,
00:31:57.080
but I loved her. This gal won. She is a wrestler. She won. She gave her victory speech and she said
00:32:06.700
that she just loves America and she is so proud to represent it. Of course I surprise myself. It's
00:32:11.980
by the grace of God I'm able to even move my feet. Like I just leave it in his hands and I pray that
00:32:17.020
all the practice that the hell that my freaking coaches put me through pays off. And every single
00:32:22.100
time it does. And I get better and better. And it's so weird that there is no cap to the limit
00:32:26.840
that I can do. And I'm, I'm excited to see what, what I have next. Last question for you. That
00:32:32.980
American flag around your shoulders looks pretty good. How does that feel to represent your country
00:32:37.100
like this? It feels amazing. I love representing the U.S. I freaking love living there. I love it.
00:32:44.440
And I'm so happy I get to represent U.S. A. Love it. Well said. Congratulations. Enjoy that gold.
00:32:53.360
And we'll see you out there on the podium. Okay. Thank you. I'll try not to cry, but no problem.
00:32:59.160
Love her. Awesome. This is great stuff. It's very important that all the athletes do this.
00:33:06.380
If you do not love your country, if you're not happy to represent your country, then don't go to the
00:33:10.120
Olympics. The point of the Olympics is that we send our athletes to go represent the country.
00:33:14.340
As I've made abundantly clear, I don't, I don't tend to watch the Olympics, but I do care about my
00:33:19.800
country. And even those of us who don't watch all these various games and are kind of skeptical of the
00:33:25.400
whole thing, we still have a right to, as we send our athletes overseas to represent us, we have some
00:33:32.200
right to expect that our athletes will love our country. This gal obviously does. And it is important,
00:33:37.380
especially because she's a black woman. I know that conservatives don't like to play identity
00:33:41.940
politics and conservatives are now being accused of playing identity politics because she's a black
00:33:46.620
woman. It actually does matter because the prevailing narrative that we're all being told
00:33:50.660
is that black people can't love America because America was founded on oppressing black people.
00:33:56.340
That's the new 1619 narrative. And so if you're black, the only authentic reaction you can have to the
00:34:01.680
country is one of contempt and disdain and hatred. And it's just not true. There have been plenty of
00:34:06.980
black Americans who have loved their country. That's been true from the very beginning of the
00:34:10.220
country. That's true up to the present. And it is important to show that. It is very important to
00:34:15.260
show it because we are susceptible to these kinds of circumstances, to these aesthetics, to these
00:34:23.080
trends. You know, all of us really are. If we're, if we are told that all the smart people hate America,
00:34:29.500
then if we hope to be smart, we're going to be tempted to hate America. If we are told that all the
00:34:35.380
black people hate America, then if you are black, you are going to be more inclined to hate America
00:34:39.520
because you're, because you are simply living within this mental prism that that is what you
00:34:43.440
have to do if you look a certain way or if you aspire to be a certain thing or whatever. And so
00:34:47.460
it's very important to show people that the smart people can like their country too, that black people
00:34:52.440
can like their country too, that people from the coasts can like their country too, that New Yorkers
00:34:57.920
and Angelenos and Chicagoans can like their country, that people in academia can like their country too,
00:35:01.800
that people wherever, in the media, right all over the place where we are told that it is not,
00:35:09.640
that if you are a certain way, you look a certain way, you think a certain way,
00:35:13.700
got to get rid of that. Got to get rid of that. Speaking of women, there's a story out of California.
00:35:19.560
Now, a female inmate in California is now pregnant after women's prisons were forced to accept
00:35:26.060
male prisoners who claim to be women. So this has been happening for a few years now. There has been
00:35:32.380
a push for women's prisons to accept dudes. And the phrase that's often used is biological males.
00:35:38.900
They have to accept biological males. I hate this phrase. People should stop saying this phrase.
00:35:43.280
The phrase biological male is a, it's itself a creation of political correctness. It's not a
00:35:49.320
reaction against political correctness. It is a product of it because the implication of the phrase
00:35:53.780
biological males is that there's some other kind of male, you know, a psychological male or a spiritual
00:35:58.880
male or no, there's not, it's just men. It's just men and women. Okay. And there's no special caveats
00:36:03.420
or categories here. So the women's prisons now have to accept men. And this is according to a report
00:36:09.800
from the blaze, uh, that, uh, women, a liberal women's organization, the women's liberation front
00:36:14.560
has reported that at least one woman has become pregnant following California's law that lets men
00:36:19.100
enter the women's prison. Here's what the women's liberation front, a very left wing organization,
00:36:23.640
says, quote, women incarcerated in California's largest women's prison are describing the conditions
00:36:29.960
as a nightmare's worst nightmare after the introduction of new pregnancy resources in the
00:36:35.040
central California women's facility, medical clinics. The new resources are a tacit admission
00:36:39.660
by officials that women should expect to be raped when housed in prison with men where all sex is
00:36:44.220
considered non-consensual by default within the system, which brings me to compassion, compassion.
00:36:51.320
When, when I was at this wedding, I was chatting with, uh, uh, very lovely gal. She was so nice. I think
00:36:59.620
probably she represents what the majority of Americans feel politically, which is they don't have
00:37:06.060
especially strong political views. They just want to be like nice and on the good side and be nice to
00:37:11.200
people and not mean to people. And the issue of transgenderism came up and she said, well, I just,
00:37:17.080
I just think it's really, we shouldn't be mean to people. We should be nice. And my point as
00:37:21.260
conservatives often make is that I don't think it's nice to lie to people. I don't think it's nice to
00:37:25.160
encourage some people to live in delusion. I don't think that's respectful at all. I think that's
00:37:29.320
actually cruel. I don't think that the truth is cruel. I don't think that lies will set you free.
00:37:33.160
Actually, I think it's the opposite. The argument for letting men into the women's prison
00:37:37.860
is that it's compassionate. These poor men, they think that they're women, so we should let them into the
00:37:42.380
women's prison. Well, is it compassionate to the women who are now being exposed to, some of these
00:37:48.800
men could have committed sex crimes. There's no rule often barring men who have committed sex
00:37:54.800
crimes from coming in. Now this woman is pregnant. Where's the compassion? Where is all of that
00:37:59.940
compassion? Compassion can be pretty misguided. But the left is very good at using this language of
00:38:07.540
compassion and niceness. And I do think conservatives need to get better at that.
00:38:11.240
Because if conservatives can't, then it doesn't matter how strong our arguments from biology or
00:38:17.100
psychology or philosophy or theology are, people aren't going to want to associate with conservatives.
00:38:22.220
Speaking of creepy sex stuff, by the way, Andrew Cuomo. I go away for one week and it looks like
00:38:28.180
the governor of New York is on the ropes again. Not because he killed thousands of
00:38:34.000
elderly New Yorkers in nursing homes, but instead because he winked at his secretary some more.
00:38:39.060
There's a report from the New York attorney general. The report says Andy Cuomo ran his hand
00:38:44.800
across the stomach of a female state trooper assigned to his detail. She says this move left
00:38:50.360
her feeling completely violated. He did that only one month after he signed a 2019 law strengthening
00:38:57.020
protections for sexual harassment in the workplace, according to the report from the state attorney
00:39:02.560
general. You'll notice during the, I'll get back to Andrew Cuomo in a second, but I just want to
00:39:07.080
broaden it out for a bit. You'll notice that among the Me Too people and the Time's Up and all the
00:39:12.740
really strong, this is what a feminist looks like men who are left wing and all that. During the Me Too
00:39:19.280
movement, virtually every big shot who went down was a leftist feminist, stop the sexual harassment,
00:39:27.740
man, this is what a feminist looks like sort of guy. But they just don't believe it. They just didn't
00:39:33.620
believe it. I think this was a little different than having a standard and falling short of it. I think
00:39:37.920
these guys were rank hypocrites. I don't think they believe it. I think they want other people to play
00:39:42.720
by a set of rules that they don't have to play by. I think it's the same thing as Obama. I think it's the
00:39:47.040
same thing as the COVID and climate alarmists, all the climate alarmists who fly on private jets to go
00:39:53.460
talk about how important it is not to fly on private jets. I think all of that is coming out.
00:39:59.080
And unfortunately, we can point to it and we can show how little credibility they have, but they
00:40:03.660
still have the power. Maybe Andrew Cuomo will go down over this latest round of sex stuff. Maybe,
00:40:13.080
maybe not. He's a pretty tough guy. It looks like this is harder. His right-hand man, actually a right-hand
00:40:18.000
woman, his top aide was a woman. She just resigned. Right now, it looks like New York Democrats are
00:40:22.920
looking at a possible replacement for Cuomo. Look, this looks even worse than the last time
00:40:29.480
that Cuomo was allegedly on the ropes. The only thing I'll say is the guy's a fighter. The guy's
00:40:33.320
a survivor. He's got nine lives, so he might be able to survive this too. Regardless though,
00:40:38.120
his reputation is really, really tarnished. My only issue in all of this, sure, Andrew Cuomo might be a
00:40:43.280
pig. He might, he might pinch any, any lady who walks by. He might be absolutely, you know,
00:40:50.340
reprobate. But that's what, that's what we're going to take him down for. That's what we care,
00:40:55.860
that's all we care about now. This, it's so frivolous. This guy killed thousands of elderly
00:41:04.580
New Yorkers through his COVID policies, all the while bragging about how great his COVID policies
00:41:09.880
were, all the while publishing a book and winning an Emmy for how great his COVID policies were,
00:41:14.020
an Emmy for goodness sakes. Meanwhile, he's lying to federal, misleading federal investigators,
00:41:21.380
covering up the nursing home deaths, and we get him on winking at his secretary.
00:41:26.580
How frivolous, how frivolous all of this is. But it's, that's because we are not as serious a
00:41:33.620
country as we once were, because we, we can't really discuss moral issues in a sophisticated way
00:41:39.240
as, as we once did. Now the, really the only way to take someone down is through the most lurid sort
00:41:44.540
of scandals, which actually brings up an issue for Joe Biden. Because if Andrew Cuomo goes down over
00:41:50.340
the creepy sex stuff, this could theoretically pose a problem to Joe Biden. Jen Psaki was just asked this
00:41:57.640
at the White House. Joe Biden has been accused by a former staffer of sexually violating her.
00:42:04.740
And so if he's entitled to a presumption of innocence, that's all well and good. But should
00:42:09.420
there not be an investigation of Joe Biden, just as there was an investigation of Andrew Cuomo,
00:42:14.060
an investigation that turned out to be quite warranted.
00:42:17.660
In a follow-up to the report on Governor Cuomo's sexual harassment, a lot of men in politics have
00:42:23.140
been accused of sexual harassment. President Biden was accused by female secret service agents of
00:42:29.940
skinny dipping in front of them, offending them, according to former Washington Post reporter,
00:42:34.120
Ronald Kessler, who is an author as well. His former Senate aide, Tara Reid, accused him of sexual
00:42:39.860
assault. The Washington Post and the New York Times have published multiple accounts of women
00:42:44.720
who objected to the way President Biden touched them. Should there be an independent investigation
00:42:49.960
of allegations into the president as there was into Governor Cuomo?
00:42:53.760
Well, first, I would say the president has been clear and outspoken about the importance of women
00:42:58.920
being respected and having their voices heard and being allowed to tell their stories and people
00:43:04.980
treating them with respect. That has long been his policy, continues to be his policy.
00:43:10.180
That was heavily litigated during the campaign. I understand you're eager to come back to it,
00:43:15.180
but I don't have anything further other than to repeat that he has called for
00:43:21.220
So she completely punts on the question. She says, oh, yeah. I mean, look, it's an excellent
00:43:25.880
question. I'm glad the reporter asked it, because certainly if this were really about standards,
00:43:30.160
if this were about a real rule, then yes, there should be an investigation into Joe Biden.
00:43:35.040
And if Tara Reid turns out to be true, forget about even believe all women, just if the
00:43:39.520
allegation is supported, which is way more supported than anything anyone ever said about
00:43:44.160
Brett Kavanaugh. If that is shown to be likely, then it would cause a big problem for Joe Biden.
00:43:50.740
But the thing is, if Cuomo goes down, he's not going to go down because he sexually harassed his
00:43:57.740
secretary. He's going to go down because the Democrats want him out, because he's now too
00:44:01.780
weak. And he's probably too weak much more because of the COVID scandal than because of the sex scandal.
00:44:06.460
And the thing is, they don't want Joe Biden out yet. And so he's just going to survive it,
00:44:11.340
because they've got the power and you do not. Which brings me to one more creepy viral TikTok video.
00:44:17.560
These sex scandals seem very strange today because we've all gotten used to all sorts of sexual
00:44:28.060
scandals that aren't even scandalous anymore. There was a TikTok that went viral of some person on the
00:44:33.380
left describing regular old heterosexuality, you know, just a man and a woman love each other very
00:44:41.100
much and have babies as a breeding kink. I'm super straight. I'm only attracted to women who can
00:44:48.200
bear me children, babe. That's called a breeding kink. And it's not a sexuality.
00:44:54.280
So a breeding kink is this individual is making fun of people who hold a traditional sexual ethic,
00:45:02.120
who think that in the words of the great philosopher, Norm MacDonald, sex is a filthy,
00:45:06.560
shameful thing that obviously is only meant for procreation and that you should maybe get married,
00:45:11.100
before you have sex, and that when you have sex, you should be open to the possibility of life and
00:45:14.600
have children and have a really good life. And what this person is saying is, no, that's a breeding
00:45:19.520
kink. Some people have a kink for whips and chains. Some people have a kink for threesomes and some
00:45:26.340
people have a kink for breeding, but it's all just kinks, right? It's all just kind of weird quirks of
00:45:31.460
sex. And what that implies is that there's no standard. What that implies is that no sort of sexual
00:45:39.320
behavior is any better or worse than any other sort of sexual behavior, right? It's all just
00:45:44.420
relative. It's all just what you want. It's all about your desires. Now this creates a problem in
00:45:47.800
the Me Too era because their sexual standards will come in. They will be enforced in some way. And so
00:45:54.160
now people have to explain why certain sort of ugly sexual encounters are fine, but the exact same
00:46:02.380
sorts of sexual encounters when they're undertaken by different people or in different circumstances
00:46:06.200
are not fine. And it's just, it's very, very confusing. We've been told that women are totally
00:46:10.960
liberated. They ought to be able to relate to sex in exactly the same way as men. But then when women
00:46:14.740
come to regret sex, as in the case of high profile cases like Marilyn Manson or other partners and
00:46:22.600
lovers of these various men, they say, well, yes, it was consensual, but he still abused me and I
00:46:27.380
didn't like it. Men and women are different, but they're not different. And it's all very confusing
00:46:31.040
because we don't have any sort of standard. When we don't have principles, when we don't have a
00:46:38.300
standard, when we don't have a vision for society, then all we are left with is the arbitrary power
00:46:44.800
of the elites, of the capital physician, of Dr. Fauci, of the head of the UN climate change panel.
00:46:54.260
We'll get, we'll get to it a little bit more, or maybe we won't. It doesn't matter. It's the same
00:46:57.340
story, different day. The UN though is saying that the world is going to end from the sun monster.
00:47:02.540
This is really a code red. They've been saying this for decades at this point. And even beyond
00:47:06.660
the climate change issue, we've been told by the scientific geniuses since the 1970s that the
00:47:10.600
world's going to end if we don't give them all of the power. Well, that is what we are going to do
00:47:14.960
inevitably if we do not have a positive vision to push against and to, to offer as an alternative
00:47:22.640
to the arbitrary capricious rule of the genius elites who, by the way, don't even believe the
00:47:29.520
stuff that they're trying to sell us. See you tomorrow. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael
