The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 828 - President Kamala Harris

00:00:00.000 Just when you thought the news out of Washington could not get any worse,

00:00:03.500 I am going to send a chill down your spine with three simple words.

00:00:08.960 President Kamala Harris.

00:00:12.140 This is a real possibility.

00:00:15.060 It is not just coming from the fevered nightmares of conservatives.

00:00:19.080 It is actually being predicted by the sitting president.

00:00:23.180 I can say as much as I want from the time my two daughters were born

00:00:27.600 that you can do anything a man can do.

00:00:30.700 It's one thing for somebody to say that and keep pounding that in the head

00:00:33.540 of their five granddaughters as well.

00:00:35.620 But guess what?

00:00:37.180 Until they see it, until they watch, it becomes real then.

00:00:42.000 That's why, by the way, she happens to be in Asia for me right now,

00:00:46.220 but that's why we have a female vice president of the United States of America 1.00

00:00:50.100 who's going to be, we're going to have some presidents pretty soon.

00:00:53.400 We're going to have some presidents pretty soon.

00:00:55.820 That would be a change of pace, wouldn't it?

00:00:57.260 I think Joe Biden meant to say we're going to have female presidents pretty soon. 1.00

00:01:01.360 Pretty soon.

00:01:02.600 Does Joe Biden know something that we don't know?

00:01:05.400 That would also be a first.

00:01:07.240 Biden apparently does not know how many Americans are stranded in Afghanistan.

00:01:11.520 He doesn't know how much of our military equipment the Taliban now owns.

00:01:14.820 He doesn't know exactly who we're flying into America from the most violent country on Earth.

00:01:20.840 In fact, the only thing that we seem to know for certain right now about our politics

00:01:25.020 is that things are likely going to get much, much worse.

00:01:29.640 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:01:30.520 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:38.420 Welcome back to the show.

00:01:39.300 I saw my favorite comment yesterday from Ryan Weiss, who says,

00:01:41.840 when Michael was talking about the woman on Twitter crying about cutting her son out of her life

00:01:46.060 because he voted for Trump, my first thought was, I didn't know my mom was on Twitter.

00:01:50.520 Lol.

00:01:51.100 You know, it's funny.

00:01:52.020 I mentioned this yesterday about a woman crying as she couldn't speak to her own son anymore,

00:01:57.140 her beloved son, just because he voted for the other political party.

00:02:00.920 And I thought this has to be a joke.

00:02:03.100 This has to be a troll.

00:02:04.520 But then I had a number of people write into me saying that this described their families too.

00:02:10.300 Pretty pathetic stuff.

00:02:12.260 I just want some relief from all this crazy tension.

00:02:15.460 And when I want relief, I turn to relief band.

00:02:18.320 Do you ever find yourself nauseated?

00:02:20.540 I often feel nauseated reading the news these days.

00:02:23.380 But you can be nauseated also by, I don't know, morning sickness.

00:02:26.700 You can be nauseated by hangovers.

00:02:29.140 You can be nauseated by migraines.

00:02:31.060 I get a number of migraines.

00:02:32.840 Relief band.

00:02:33.760 That's the way to deal with it.

00:02:34.740 It's the number one FDA cleared anti-nausea wristband.

00:02:38.080 It's been clinically proven to quickly relieve and effectively prevent nausea and vomiting

00:02:42.300 from all sorts of things.

00:02:44.180 Anxiety, chemotherapy, right down to the regular old hangover.

00:02:48.140 The product is 100% drug-free, non-drowsy, and provides all natural long-lasting relief

00:02:52.300 with zero side effects for as long as needed.

00:02:54.360 Relief band.

00:02:55.620 Stimulates a nerve in your wrist.

00:02:57.400 So it stimulates this nerve that travels to the part of the brain that controls nausea.

00:03:01.140 It's incredible technology developed for use in hospitals.

00:03:03.660 If you've ever tried a cheap imitator, don't forget about that.

00:03:06.420 This is the one.

00:03:07.120 It's actually FDA cleared.

00:03:08.200 It's unbelievable stuff.

00:03:09.500 And no drugs.

00:03:10.700 Right now, Relief Band has an exclusive offer for our listeners.

00:03:26.180 Joe Biden says, pretty soon, we're going to have some presidents pretty soon.

00:03:31.300 We're going to have a...

00:03:32.600 Which would be it.

00:03:37.280 Not just having a first woman president, but just having any president at all. 0.89

00:03:40.700 Because it seems that the guy who ostensibly is in the job right now is asleep at the wheel.

00:03:45.680 It has been days and days and days since the Taliban took down Kabul, took down the Afghan

00:03:50.200 government within 11 days of us really beginning to pull out.

00:03:53.760 And the question remains, how many Americans are trapped there in Afghanistan?

00:03:58.180 Biden has given multiple press conferences.

00:04:01.440 There's supposed to be press conferences.

00:04:02.760 The problem is he doesn't answer any questions from the press.

00:04:06.320 Thank you.

00:04:06.880 How many, hey, I know you're, you're just trying to tell us all to wear the masks and stuff and get

00:04:17.960 the jab, but what about all the thousands of Americans in Afghanistan? And you know what

00:04:22.660 often will happen? So Biden is just bolting after he gives his statements. He just bolts these days

00:04:27.520 because he can't answer any of the questions. But what has happened in the past with Biden is he'll

00:04:32.780 give his statement. He doesn't want to take questions from the press. He starts to bolt and

00:04:36.620 then he'll hear a question and he'll realize, oh, this is going to make me look weak. And he'll stop

00:04:40.040 and he'll turn around. He's done this multiple times in front of the White House. He can't do that

00:04:43.940 here. Not only because he knows that this is extremely politically damaging for him,

00:04:49.460 the Afghanistan debacle, but also because he just doesn't know. No, no one seems to know

00:04:56.640 how many Americans there are in Afghanistan. Initially we were told, you know, a few thousand,

00:05:02.760 then it became more like five or seven thousand. And we were told it's as many as 10 or even 15,000,

00:05:07.800 but we're not being given the number. And now Jen Psaki spokeswoman at the White House is saying that

00:05:16.240 there are no Americans stranded in Afghanistan. Does the president have a sense that most of the

00:05:21.920 criticism is not of leaving Afghanistan? It's the way that he has ordered it to happen 1.00

00:05:28.280 by pulling the troops before getting these Americans who are now stranded. Does he have a

00:05:33.680 sense of that? First of all, I think it's irresponsible to say Americans are stranded.

00:05:37.140 They are not. We are committed to bringing Americans who want to come home, home. We are in touch with 1.00

00:05:41.740 them via phone, via text, via email, via any way that we can possibly reach Americans to get them

00:05:48.000 home if they want to return home. There are no Americans stranded is the White House's official

00:05:53.040 position on what's happening in Afghanistan. I'm just calling you out for saying that we are

00:05:57.580 stranding Americans in Afghanistan. When I said, when we have been very clear that we are not leaving

00:06:03.280 Americans who want to return home, we are going to bring them home. Now, this is a very clever trick. 1.00

00:06:08.740 It's, it's not all that clever because it's so transparent, but it's, it's at least clever in theory.

00:06:15.460 Jen Psaki is being asked a question by Peter Doocy, one of the last reporters left in America.

00:06:21.320 And the question is, what about these Americans who are stranded in Afghanistan? And Jen Psaki says,

00:06:31.120 we are not going to strand any Americans in Afghanistan. You see that he's saying in the

00:06:38.060 present tense, what about the Americans currently right now, undeniably stranded in Afghanistan?

00:06:43.820 And she says, no, no, there will not be anyone ultimately who is stranded in Afghanistan.

00:06:50.620 The question isn't about your promises, Jen Psaki. The question isn't about your predictions.

00:06:56.860 Frankly, the White House's predictions on Afghanistan have been pretty bad. They've been

00:07:00.900 completely wrong, actually. And even the president has admitted that. And the chairman of the Joint

00:07:06.560 Chiefs of Staff has admitted that. And basically everybody involved in this evacuation has admitted

00:07:13.240 that all their predictions turned out to be false. They didn't even think it was possible that it

00:07:16.700 would go this bad. So please, for a moment, spare me your assurances and your predictions about what

00:07:22.520 will happen in the future. What about the Americans stranded right now? No, we will not strand any

00:07:29.800 Americans in Afghanistan. Oh, really? Like you won't lose all of our protective equipment and have it 0.78

00:07:35.860 taken over by the Taliban? Like you won't lose the Kabul embassy? Like you won't? Like you won't? Like

00:07:42.060 you won't? Give me a break. Like you won't prevent Americans from being caught there in the first 0.99

00:07:47.240 place? Give me a break. By the way, two hours prior to Jen Psaki's preposterous statement, Politico reports

00:07:56.380 that the Pentagon confirmed another mission to rescue Americans stranded in Kabul.

00:08:03.580 That's the language from Politico. Actually, the verb, or in this case, the adjective, stranded.

00:08:09.240 Pentagon confirms latest mission to rescue Americans stranded in Kabul. Listen to how they do it. This is

00:08:16.960 in Politico. Apart from that mission, a Pentagon spokesperson, John Kirby, said at a news briefing Monday

00:08:24.960 that there had been, quote, at least one additional instance where rotary airlift was used to help

00:08:31.800 Americans get from outside the airport into the airport. He declined to elaborate further, saying,

00:08:36.580 I think I'm just going to have to leave it at that today. They used rotary airlift. What is

00:08:45.600 rotary? Well, there's only two. I guess there's three ways to get something into the air.

00:08:50.360 So there's an airplane, there's a rocket ship, and there's a helicopter. And this one's rotary.

00:08:56.640 So it's not a jet. It's not like fixed wind. Oh, it's a helicopter. Oh, you're talking about a

00:09:01.780 helicopter, but you don't want to use the word helicopter because helicopter evokes those images

00:09:06.600 out of Vietnam, out of the fall of Saigon, the worst American foreign policy debacle until now.

00:09:14.760 Oh, that's, so they're going to use all of these, as always, the left is going to use all of these

00:09:20.240 euphemisms. They're going to try to redefine all the words. They're going to try to use mealy-mouthed

00:09:24.240 jargon. They're going to try to play around with verbs and adjectives to try to pretend that Americans 0.90

00:09:30.220 are not currently stranded, like they're not being evacuated as fast as they can, though most experts

00:09:35.620 think there's not nearly enough time before the August 31st deadline to get the Americans out 1.00

00:09:41.240 of Afghanistan. Meanwhile, while we can't get the people we want out of Afghanistan, 0.99

00:09:50.140 some prominent members of the blob of the liberal establishment, the deep state,

00:09:55.560 are suggesting that we send some Americans into Afghanistan because we don't want them in our 1.00

00:10:01.340 country anymore. The former director of both the CIA and the NSA, these are two very clandestine

00:10:10.120 operations involved in spying and actually spying on Americans in some cases. Michael Hayden was sent

00:10:19.040 a tweet. The tweet was, can we send the MAGA wearing unvaxxed to Afghanistan? No use sending the plane

00:10:24.980 back empty. Hayden responds, good idea. Good idea. So one of the men to whom we gave more power to spy on

00:10:37.340 not just foreigners, not just foreigners, but also Americans than anyone has ever had in American

00:10:43.460 history just about, he is now openly calling for deporting conservatives because he doesn't like

00:10:51.380 conservatives and not even just conservatives, by the way. So he's got the MAGA wearing part,

00:10:55.420 but then he's saying unvaxxed. So if you don't want to take the experimental drug for the virus that

00:11:01.560 doesn't pose a particularly significant risk to most people, you are worthy of deportation. We

00:11:09.120 don't want you in our country. And people with an outrageous amount of power and who have had very

00:11:14.280 prominent roles in the government want to ship you over to a war zone. They want to get Afghans 1.00

00:11:20.060 out, Afghans who are largely unvetted, which we'll get to in a second. They want to get them out and 1.00

00:11:25.140 bring them into America to replace you because you, conservative, or you, person who even objects to 0.75

00:11:30.320 to being forced to take an experimental drug, you are going to go live under the Taliban. 0.61

00:11:35.720 They hate you. They don't like you. The ruling class doesn't want to come to a reconciliation,

00:11:41.520 meet in the middle, shake hands and hug. They hate your guts. They think that you are a terrorist.

00:11:46.760 They think that you are a murderer. They think that you are less than human, deplorable, irredeemable,

00:11:52.100 bitter, clinging, Bible thumping, and they want you out. You know, you know what I want in 1.00

00:11:58.460 bio-optimizers. There's a zillion reasons why you can't get enough sleep, even though you're

00:12:03.740 supposed to get seven hours a night, at least seven hours a night. One of the biggest reasons

00:12:08.580 actually might be magnesium deficiency. Magnesium is key to getting good sleep, but 75% of people are

00:12:15.080 actually magnesium deficient. So is it any wonder that so many people have sleep problems? To help fix

00:12:21.000 sleep problems and to fully enjoy the calming effects of magnesium, check out Magnesium Breakthrough

00:12:27.600 by Bio-Optimizers. It's the only organic full-spectrum magnesium supplement that includes

00:12:32.260 seven unique forms of magnesium. For instance, you got Marie. She left a five-star review. She said,

00:12:38.380 I'd give this a hundred stars if I could. Within one month of use, I went from daily struggles with

00:12:42.480 restless legs, horrible, terrible sleep, to no struggles with any of that. I know it sounds dramatic

00:12:48.280 and far-fetched, but it's true. Magnesium Breakthrough is 100% organic. It's made with

00:12:52.920 vegetarian non-GMO ingredients. Give it a try right now. Check out for yourself why so many people are

00:13:12.700 the unwashed continues apace. Now it's not just preening liberals on the coasts or people in the

00:13:20.640 academy or people even in the media, Washington establishment. It's medical doctors. Even medical

00:13:30.420 doctors now are throwing hissy fits because some people don't want to take an experimental drug

00:13:37.080 that is supposed to fight off a virus that for most people is not particularly dangerous,

00:13:43.340 but actually apparently doesn't even really prevent infection all that well. I suppose it

00:13:49.520 ostensibly prevents the more serious effects of infection, but it doesn't, according to the science,

00:13:55.880 doesn't really prevent transmission, doesn't really prevent infection. According to certain studies,

00:13:59.940 you actually have the same viral load if you're vaccinated or unvaccinated. Doctors in Florida,

00:14:05.220 the 75 of them are walking off the job to protest their unvaccinated patients and the left-wing media

00:14:13.900 are cheering them on. Just moments ago, more than 75 doctors staged a walkout to protest the number

00:14:20.460 of COVID patients coming to the hospitals who have not been vaccinated. The thing, let's bring in

00:14:26.440 Kerry Sanders because Kerry, you're in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida at this doctor's walkout.

00:14:31.580 Kerry, and I know the area very well, what Americans don't understand is for every unvaccinated person

00:14:39.760 that's filling up an ICU bed, that means with a hospital's jam, somebody with a heart attack,

00:14:45.580 and I've known somebody in this position, goes there, has trouble getting in, can't get treatment,

00:14:51.700 can't get a bed. It is a nightmare for the doctors. It is a nightmare for the nurses.

00:14:56.760 And to the doctor's point of view, it's worse yet for sick people that want help from them.

00:15:04.940 That is truly reflective of the frustration that you see behind me.

00:15:09.120 And these doctors have gathered some coming off their shifts to come out here gathering to try

00:15:14.260 to tell people, please, first of all, ignore the nonsense and the absurdities that you're hearing

00:15:19.280 people say at public meetings and recognize the value of what a vaccine will do.

00:15:25.180 It's about time. It's about time that these doctors finally summon the courage to refuse to

00:15:31.200 treat sick people. You know, I've been waiting for a long time, basically since the Hippocratic

00:15:36.240 Oath was written, that oath that the doctors take to do no harm and to do their best to do justice to

00:15:41.300 their patients. Because some people, they just don't care. They inconsiderately get sick. And then

00:15:49.580 they expect, what, the doctors are just supposed to take care of them? I just, I wish that the doctors

00:15:54.740 would take it further and also stage a walkout and refuse to treat all those fatties, you know, 1.00

00:16:00.960 all those fatties who show up. Because those fatties, they show up and they have heart problems 0.88

00:16:05.540 sometimes, you know, or they've got, sometimes they have diabetes. Sometimes they have all sorts

00:16:10.980 of vascular issues and they're taking up hospital beds from the good skinny people, you know,

00:16:17.700 or the gay guys, for instance. They, really, the doctors need to go out and protest with the gay 0.96

00:16:22.700 guys and refuse to treat them because the gay guys are statistically at a greater risk of contracting 1.00

00:16:28.680 HIV and AIDS. So if they, if they contract those, that virus and that turns into, oh, they're going

00:16:35.320 to take up a sick bed from a good, not gay guy, right? So it's just in the interest of medicine 1.00

00:16:41.320 and public health, it's about time the doctors refuse to treat AIDS patients, right? Or, or a smokers, 0.91

00:16:48.640 for instance, it's a tough one for me, big fan of cigars. But you know, in, in fairness for justice,

00:16:55.380 the doctors need to refuse to treat these smokers because what happens, smokers sometimes develop,

00:17:00.220 there is a risk they will develop on occasion or even more than on occasion, health problems,

00:17:06.000 heart disease, lung problems, mouth problems, and they'll take up hospital beds.

00:17:10.880 Oh, hold on. That's the, that's their job, right? That's the job of the doctors to treat the sick

00:17:18.580 people. But the doctors don't want to do that because the doctors don't understand what they're

00:17:23.300 doing because none of us really understands what we're doing because we have lost the philosophical

00:17:28.040 and political sophistication to discuss these matters because all that is left is fear-mongering

00:17:35.800 and contempt and disdain for our countrymen, specifically for conservatives. The only group

00:17:43.260 that you are allowed to vilify in public. Even more so, people will vilify men for being men,

00:17:51.860 you know, the patriarchy or they'll vilify white people for white, white supremacy and whiteness is 0.97

00:17:56.320 terrible. But you know, they'll, they'll, they'll also vilify women when they go along with conservatives. 1.00

00:18:01.480 I think Sarah Palin or somebody like that. They'll also vilify black guys if they go along with

00:18:05.760 conservatives like Larry Elder. We'll get to that in a second. So it's really just the conservatives

00:18:11.280 who should not receive medical treatment, who should be shipped over to live under the Taliban 1.00

00:18:17.000 and very likely be killed in a war zone. Now on the topic of the vaccine, there might be one

00:18:24.840 political benefit to this hysteria over the vaccine and this hysteria over the coronavirus more broadly.

00:18:31.480 It's, if, if it is not exposing for the left, its own hypocrisy on other political issues,

00:18:40.260 it's at least exposing it for a lot of us. There's a New York city councilman, Mark D. Levine.

00:18:46.900 He is a city councilman in New York and he wants to remind you that the new vaccination screening

00:18:53.820 program for various indoor activities requires here. Well, I'll just use his own words. New York

00:19:01.080 city's new vaccination screening program for indoor dining, et cetera, requires that you show proof of

00:19:06.560 vax and asterisks ID. If you have an ID, don't forget to bring it. If you need an ID, get the city's

00:19:17.380 ID NYC available to all, including undocumented. Here's how to get yours. And he includes the link.

00:19:24.740 Didn't realize we had George Wallace on the New York city council. Didn't realize David Duke

00:19:29.740 was able to get himself elected down in New York. ID. You, you expect New York, which has a substantial

00:19:39.500 black population. You expect that New Yorkers can get IDs to go indoors. All right. Woolworth's lunch 1.00

00:19:45.560 counter all over again, I guess. Black people can't get IDs. The Democrats have been telling me

00:19:50.640 that for years. So now you, now you can't go into a restaurant if you don't have an ID.

00:19:56.520 Pretty soon we're going to have different water fountains. If this guy has his way, right?

00:20:00.680 Or the IDs have nothing to do with race. He goes on. He explains what the ID is for.

00:20:05.720 The ID requirement is to help reduce fraud. Hold on. I'm going to have to read this again.

00:20:13.420 The ID requirement says Democrat, New York city councilman, Mark Levine is to help reduce fraud.

00:20:20.100 Venues covered by the VAX screening program are required to check ID for those 18 plus

00:20:24.180 ID for 12 plus is optional. The COVID safe app allows you to upload a picture of your ID if you

00:20:30.240 don't want to carry it. So it's, it's easy to work around. It's easy to acquire, he says. And the point

00:20:37.400 is to help reduce fraud. Gee, you don't say. So now if, if the Democrats are going to keep up this

00:20:46.580 line of argument that it is essential that you get an ID, an official New York ID, a government ID

00:20:52.600 in order to go to a restaurant, in order really to go in anywhere to any kind of recreational venue,

00:20:58.500 but it's evil and terrible to make you to get an ID to vote. What you are saying is that we need to

00:21:06.880 have higher standards for eating a sandwich than we have for protecting our democratic republic.

00:21:15.980 We need to, there is a higher standard of proof required to go have tapas on the lower east side

00:21:22.760 than to protect our constitutional order. This guy, Mark Levine, you know, you know what he sounds

00:21:29.460 like to me? He sounds like an extremist. There are a lot of extremists out there. If you turn, tune

00:21:34.740 into some British morning show, I don't even know the name of it. They're really concerned about extremist

00:21:40.380 language. Here, here is the, if you hear your kid using these kinds of words, you better intervene

00:21:46.420 quickly. They're finding these young boys on, on gaming sites and, and, um, can parents look out for

00:21:53.840 maybe language that they use young, their young sons might be using or behaviour that they might

00:21:59.900 have? Yes, they can. So there are lots of bits of language that might be red flags referring to

00:22:05.120 people as normies or as triggered. Normies is the word incel is used for people outside their community.

00:22:10.900 Triggered, based, cucked, describing being red-pilled or black-pilled, which are words they used

00:22:16.340 to describe being infiltrated into the ideology. And it's worth saying as well that they see this

00:22:21.360 as a kind of conduit to other forms of extremism. It isn't completely separate from far white, 0.89

00:22:27.020 white nationalist, white supremacist movements. They actually really see it as a slipway. So

00:22:32.300 parents might see a combination of perhaps also racism creeping in as well. The incel community is a

00:22:38.060 very racist community. This is a racist ideology. And of course, white supremacist is a deeply

00:22:43.240 misogynistic ideology. Yeah. If your son is not a cuck, if he does not want to be a cuck,

00:22:49.680 he might be an extremist white supremacist. My, my British accent is getting worse and worse

00:22:54.860 by the day. As though cuck, which is one of the oldest insults in the world. I mean, Italians actually 1.00

00:23:02.080 have different symbols. They wear it as jewelry, the little horn thing it looks like, or the little,

00:23:06.120 the, like the rock star symbol that Italians wear. That's the symbol of the cornuto, of the cuck, 0.99

00:23:10.260 the cuckold, the idea that your wife is cheating on you. You've got an unfaithful wife. This is a

00:23:14.360 very basic insult. There are many of these others as well, but if you use them, some of which are

00:23:19.740 quite dated now, actually, your kid is an extremist, no better than a terrorist. You've got to watch out

00:23:25.860 all every, all the conservatives are terrorists, all the leftists, wonderful, great people. We got to

00:23:32.420 kick one group out of society and society is only fit for the other one. You know, this is really

00:23:38.660 getting my blood flowing, my red iron rich blood because it's full of iron because of how much I

00:23:46.400 love good ranchers. Did you know that over 80% of the grass fed beef sold in the United States is

00:23:52.540 imported from overseas? Well, my friends, the good ranchers have traveled the country on a mission

00:25:59.180 right back with a lot more. Can you believe it's only been, what, it's been about seven months since

00:26:16.980 the attempted coup d'etat. Since the attempt, the well-organized attempt to take over the American 0.66

00:26:26.020 government. We were this close to tyranny, the insurrection, the worst event since the war of 1812.

00:26:37.320 We were told that, right? We were told this was directed by Trump. Trump called for the insurrection.

00:26:43.200 It was organized. It was plotted. It was a conspiracy by all the various nefarious. Charlie

00:26:48.860 Kirk was probably in. Alex Jones was involved. Jared Kushner. I don't know. All the people. They

00:26:54.900 just throw out random names that are in any way associated with the American right. It was Roger

00:27:00.180 Stone. They all, well, the FBI has come out. They've been investigating this thing. And this is

00:27:07.640 according to Reuters, not exactly a conservative news website, quote, the FBI has found scant evidence

00:27:14.620 that the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol was the result of an organized plot to overturn the

00:27:19.860 presidential election result, according to four current and former law enforcement officials.

00:27:25.720 Though federal officials have arrested more than 570 alleged participants, the FBI at this point

00:27:31.900 believes the violence was not centrally coordinated by far-right groups or prominent supporters of

00:27:35.500 then-president Donald Trump, according to the sources, who have been either directly involved in

00:27:39.600 or briefed regularly on the wide-ranging investigations. Huh. Because we have a January 6th

00:27:47.560 commission right now, you know, the big investigation, which is exclusively being run by Democrats,

00:27:53.540 Democrats in the House, plus two fake Republicans, Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, who are court

00:27:59.640 jester conservatives, whose whole point is to just sort of prop up the liberal establishment edifice.

00:28:04.540 So they're telling us we got to get to the bottom of this organized central plot coup d'etat. Well,

00:28:10.580 the FBI has been investigating too. They say, nope, it's not. It's not, quote, 90 to 95% of these are

00:28:16.240 one-off cases, said a former senior law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation.

00:28:20.440 Then you have 5% maybe of these militia groups that were closely organized, but there was no grand

00:28:24.980 scheme with Roger Stone and Alex Jones and all of these people to storm the Capitol and take

00:28:30.320 hostages. This is Reuters saying this, by the way. So brings up an important side point, but it's an

00:28:37.200 important one, how to read the news. When the news is potentially bad for a Republican and the

00:28:46.680 mainstream establishment media go easy on it, you can probably believe it. Because it's very simple.

00:28:54.340 Why? The establishment media take every chance that they can to attack Republicans. Sometimes

00:29:00.440 they'll make up negative stories out of whole cloth. So if the establishment media are going

00:29:04.780 easy on Republicans, it means that you can trust the report because it really means they can't find

00:29:09.780 anything. The same would not be true of the establishment media going after Democrats or even

00:29:15.680 some far right-wing media group. There aren't that many of them, but going after Democrats, right?

00:29:20.000 Because the incentives there are such that they want to find something. But in this case,

00:29:27.040 the media, they want to find something about the Republicans. They're reporting nicely about them,

00:29:32.820 which means they don't have it. They don't have it. It's not, and I hate to say I told you so,

00:29:41.480 but early on, during the January 6th, remember the worst event, said, oh yeah, this is bad. It's not

00:29:47.120 good. It doesn't look good. It obviously didn't accomplish very much. These poor people now are

00:29:51.000 going to rot in prison. That's, that's unfortunate. I don't, I don't like that. Wish, wish we had done

00:29:55.440 so. Frankly, I wish there had been something a little more coordinated within the political system

00:29:59.420 that could have looked into some discrepancies in Georgia or perhaps in Arizona or obviously what

00:30:05.140 happened in Pennsylvania. You know, I wish it had been more effective. But, but I said,

00:30:09.760 the idea that the horn guy is leading the insurrection is preposterous. It was laughable

00:30:17.080 at the time and it remains even more risible today. What was the, they got in, right? They got,

00:30:23.560 if this were an insurrection and they really made it in to the Capitol and then they would have formed

00:30:28.100 a new government. But if they were just some guys in horn hats dancing around and the smiley guy with

00:30:34.140 the Pelosi lectern, then they're not going to form a new government because it's not an insurrection,

00:30:37.720 which is what the FBI is, has concluded. Speaking of regime change, speaking of coup, coup d'etat,

00:30:46.440 Larry Elder, Larry, our pal, Larry Elder, looking pretty good in this recall election in California.

00:30:54.220 And we've been talking about the recall for a long time. There was this effort for years building

00:30:57.100 up now to recall Gavin Newsom because he was a terrible governor. I say with personal firsthand

00:31:01.660 experience of what a horrible governor he is. I fled the state in part because of his poor leadership.

00:31:05.980 Yep. So there were these people who were trying to replace him. You had Kevin Faulconer down there

00:31:11.500 in San Diego, I guess a good Republican, but he just didn't have the name recognition or the

00:31:15.800 fundraising ability. John Cox had already gotten beaten by Newsom. Same thing. Didn't really raise

00:31:21.620 money. Didn't have name recognition. Bruce Jenner, who's not really conservative in any meaningful

00:31:28.380 sense of the term. He said, I don't have any loyalty to the Republicans. I don't have any

00:31:32.700 loyalty to Trump. I mostly focused on the LGBT, emphasis on the T community. To say nothing of 1.00

00:31:38.860 the fact that he clearly has a tenuous relationship with reality on very basic questions. So that wasn't

00:31:46.720 going to work. That was always a distraction. Republicans didn't really support him.

00:31:49.620 And then Larry Elder came in. Larry Elder, a little more libertarian than I would like in my sort of

00:31:56.180 candidate. I mean, he's, he's much more libertarian, I think, than conservative, but he's got some strong

00:32:00.600 conservative stances. I like the guy, pretty straight shooter. He would be an extraordinarily

00:32:05.580 great improvement in California. And, and here's what's crucial. He actually has a shot.

00:32:12.060 The way I know he's got a shot is that the left is taking him really seriously. The way I know he's

00:32:19.260 really got a shot is that the left is now calling him a white supremacist. That's how you know that

00:32:25.940 you, you've got a really strong Republican candidate is when someone who has never been accused or never

00:32:33.280 been involved in, you know, racial, terrible things, when just out of the blue, he gets called a white

00:32:39.780 supremacist, even in the case of Larry Elder, if he's a black guy. So I kid you not, this is the

00:32:45.900 headline from the LA Times. Larry Elder is the black face of white supremacy. You've been warned.

00:32:55.340 He's the, he's the black face of. Don't, don't let his black skin, his upbringing in South Central 1.00

00:33:02.240 fool you. No, no, he's a white supremacist. Is it even worth trying to read this article?

00:33:09.780 I don't, I don't think so. Here's one. I won't lie, writes this person. Few things infuriate me

00:33:16.120 more than watching a black person use willful blindness and cherry picked facts to make overly 0.99

00:33:22.220 simplistic arguments that whitewash the complex problems that come along with being black in 1.00

00:33:27.780 America. Few things delight me more than watching libs rend their garments and gnash their teeth 1.00

00:33:35.200 when they face a serious challenge from a conservative, especially in this case, a black 1.00

00:33:39.800 conservative, because they'll call anyone a white supremacist. I mean, they call Trump a white

00:33:42.900 supremacist. If I, if I ever run for anything, I'm sure they'll call me a white supremacist despite

00:33:47.600 my swarthiness. They call, they call everyone a white supremacist. Hitler, neo-Nazi, they did it to

00:33:53.740 Reagan, they do it to everybody. But it's really funny when they do it to a black guy, right? Because 1.00

00:33:58.080 it's so preposterous. Good, this is good news for Larry Elder. I mean, he's, he's doing very well in

00:34:04.520 the polls. The polls are a little weird on this race because the only poll that really matters if

00:34:08.540 you're Larry Elder is whether you recall or you don't recall. Because there's the first question

00:34:14.480 on the ballot is, do you want to recall Newsom? Yes or no? The next question is, who do you want to

00:34:18.720 replace him? Larry Elder is trouncing everyone else in the, in the who do you want to replace him part

00:34:22.980 right now? So the only question that matters is yes or no. If 50% plus one voter say yes,

00:34:29.480 then he's recalled. If more voters say no, he's not recalled. But if he's recalled, Larry Elder

00:34:38.680 almost certainly will be the governor. The way you know that Larry Elder is also in a good position

00:34:42.920 right now, California regulators are trying to sink his candidacy. So not, we're not talking about the

00:34:48.460 political operatives. We're not talking about the establishment media, but I repeat myself.

00:34:52.980 We're talking about actual officials in the state of California. We think, uh-oh, yikes.

00:35:01.240 This guy's getting a little too close. So now, according to reports, California regulators have

00:35:07.080 launched an investigation into whether recall election gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder failed

00:35:11.140 to properly disclose his income sources, according to the Fair Political Practices Commission.

00:35:16.060 So this is completely bogus. It's extremely stupid. Uh, what they're going to suggest is that Larry

00:35:25.240 Elder didn't file some form that he should have filed and, or maybe he forgot to mention that he

00:35:31.000 wrote some book or something, or that, you know, he, he gave a speech or as he went on tour or something

00:35:35.520 like that. None of which would have any relationship to his recall campaign, right? This recall campaign's

00:35:43.680 only been going on for some weeks now. It's not like this guy's been running for years and years and years

00:35:47.480 trading on his political influence. But they're going to say, no, he forgot to file Form 267, so he's out.

00:35:54.420 This, this is the way that bureaucracy clamps down on the will of the people and on our democratic and

00:36:01.360 republican systems. They go, no, you missed up this technicality. You missed it. So now we're going to

00:36:07.220 have to come in and try to suppress your campaign. This is still good news for Larry Elder. It means

00:36:12.080 they're genuinely afraid of him, which means that, that Newsom may well be voted out of office.

00:36:19.060 Another terrible governor just did leave office yesterday. I think it was yesterday, right? Yeah. No,

00:36:23.140 today. Today is his last day in office. I think he's officially out today. He's no longer governor.

00:36:32.240 Andrew Cuomo, Andrew Cuomo just a couple of days ago was, was giving a press conference about the

00:36:39.740 weather. Basically he was giving a press conference about these storms and how New Yorkers can prepare

00:36:43.520 for them. He was asked a question obviously about what people really care about his resignation

00:36:47.780 and the scandals. And he snapped at the reporter. So yesterday, your personal attorney, Rita Glavin,

00:36:54.860 suggested that she had information that would call into question Charlotte Bennett's credibility.

00:36:59.100 Why do you think it's appropriate for your attorney to make those remarks without providing significant

00:37:03.220 evidence to back up the claim? Yeah. You know, I don't want to get into Albany politics,

00:37:09.380 justice, which is what has been going on for the past few months. This is about a storm briefing to save

00:37:18.500 lives of New Yorkers. But you're the law journal. If you think justice is to accept a complaint from a

00:37:28.700 person without investigation and without credibility determinations and without looking at past actions

00:37:40.180 of that person, then you don't know what the justice system is. I can make a complaint about you today.

00:37:49.780 Maybe it's true. Maybe it's not true. But that's why they do investigations.

00:37:54.180 Every day, Cuomo sounding more and more like a Corleone, more and more like a mobster.

00:38:03.260 Governor Cuomo, you're still attacking your accusers. So why do you think that's possible

00:38:07.380 to do or acceptable to do without evidence? Yeah, maybe I, maybe I make a few accusations about you.

00:38:16.760 Maybe that's my father, Kay. That's not me. Luca Brazzi came over. He's going to make you

00:38:24.020 an offer you can't refuse. He says either your signature or your brains are going to be on the

00:38:30.000 contract, Mr. Reporter. Sad end, sad end for Andrew Cuomo's political career. I mean, it's a happy end,

00:38:39.900 I guess, for all of us on the Republican side of the aisle, all of us who want good government in New

00:38:45.360 York. But it is corrupt over there. And, you know, in fairness to Cuomo, he's a pretty crooked guy,

00:38:50.320 but he's not the most crooked guy in Albany. I mean, all New York state politics is a very corrupt

00:38:57.020 endeavor. So crooked as he may be, it's that it's that whole swamp. It's that whole just disgusting

00:39:04.240 blob up there in in New York. And they took him down. And that's good. That's something worth 1.00

00:39:08.640 celebrating. Now, let's let's do Newsome now. That's the next one up, everybody. We got one down,

00:39:13.940 one to go. Did you know that over 85 percent of grass fed beef sold in U.S. grocery stores is

00:39:56.420 president, Kristi Noem. Kristi Noem is the governor in South Dakota. She made a big splash during COVID

00:40:07.960 because she didn't really lock down her state. And that was great stuff. I mean,

00:40:11.120 she showed really strong leadership. Then people began to speak about her as a potential presidential

00:40:15.480 candidate. She looks good. She talks good. She had been governing quite well. And then she started to 0.82

00:40:21.680 go a little bit squish. So a bill crossed her desk regarding whether or not men should be able to 0.82

00:40:29.120 compete in women's sports in schools. And she vetoed it. She wouldn't go along with it.

00:40:36.560 She said, it's okay. I'm happy to go along with this and kick the men out of women's sports K through 1.00

00:40:41.240 12. But I'm not willing to go along with this to kick men out of women's sports at the college level.

00:40:48.560 And the excuses that were given by her people is that, well, you know, then we might lose some NCAA

00:40:53.600 events. Well, then we might lose some money. Well, maybe, you know, I think what was implied

00:40:58.580 was some corporations don't feel so happy about this. And so she went a little bit squishy on what

00:41:03.160 I think should be a pretty simple question and a basic question of principle. Should women be allowed 0.99

00:41:08.360 to be a separate category from men? Should women be accepted as their own category with their own 0.98

00:41:16.360 bathrooms, with their own sports or not? And Kristi Noem went squish. So now she's come out and she said,

00:41:22.000 if Joe Biden illegally mandates vaccines, I will take every action available under the law to protect

00:41:29.320 South Dakotans from the federal government. Well, that's good. I'm glad that she's doing that.

00:41:33.560 But I think there's reason for skepticism because back last February, in February of 2020,

00:41:40.160 she had the opportunity to sign a bill that would prevent vaccine mandates by schools. And she refused

00:41:48.160 to do it. And she came out very strongly in favor of vaccine mandates by schools. And I get why she

00:41:53.820 did it. There's a long history in the United States of schools mandating certain vaccines. And she said,

00:41:59.300 so vaccines are good. Some vaccines obviously are good. And so I'm going to stand by those vaccine

00:42:03.220 mandates. Now she's coming out and saying, if Biden illegally mandates vaccines, I'm going to take

00:42:07.900 every action available under the law to protect South Dakotans. Well, what changed?

00:42:11.420 What changed? What changed? And will she really do it? I'm not so sure. I don't mean to cast any

00:42:18.860 aspersions, you know, at Kristi Noem or anyone else. But when we're talking about who is going to be

00:42:24.500 the Republican standard bearer in 2024, we're going to need more than pretty talk. We're going to need

00:42:31.480 a record. We're going to need concrete actions. We're going to need to know somebody because now

00:42:35.460 everyone is trying to talk like Trump. Now everyone is trying to talk nice and tough. And don't forget,

00:42:40.540 the people who become governor, senator, presidential candidates, these are very good

00:42:46.280 politicians. These are varsity level politicians who can really tell which way the wind is blowing

00:42:51.620 much better than other people can. And they're going to change the way they speak as a result.

00:42:57.740 But are they going to change their behavior? Do they have credibility? Are they going to follow

00:43:00.620 through? That I don't know. I'd almost have more respect for Kristi Noem if she came out and said,

00:43:05.620 look, some vaccines are good. I think it's totally right for schools to mandate the 0.52

00:43:10.160 pertussis vaccine, for instance, whooping cough. But this vaccine was obviously hastily

00:43:15.900 developed. It's still an experimental drug. It's to fight a virus that is not particularly

00:43:20.980 dangerous to most people. And so, and especially not particularly dangerous to kids. And so we're

00:43:26.640 not going to mandate it. She got into the specifics and explained why she would vote for

00:43:30.140 one thing but not for the other. I'm cool with that. I think that's actually a good exercise in

00:43:34.660 judgment and political leadership. But if it's just going to be pretty words, that's not going to

00:43:40.120 work in 2024. Speaking of mandates, the American Bar Association, this is the organization of lawyers,

00:43:52.940 the organization that is involved in accredited law schools, is now mandating diversity training

00:44:03.960 and affirmative action, according to reports. The American Bar Association is poised to mandate

00:44:09.240 diversity training and affirmative action at all of its accredited law schools, says one report,

00:44:14.000 a move top legal scholars say could jeopardize academic freedom and force schools to violate

00:44:18.040 federal law. They'd be violating federal law by taking race into account in things like admissions.

00:44:23.020 Schools would be required to, quote, take effective actions, to, quote, diversify their student bodies,

00:44:27.820 even when doing so risks violating a law that perforce to prohibit consideration of race

00:44:31.600 or ethnicity. Shows you how the game is stacked. Shows you how there's no neutrality. 0.60

00:44:39.400 In the law, and not just in the law, but in the organization that kind of runs the law,

00:44:45.380 the organization of the lawyers and that shapes the law schools,

00:44:50.980 they are now going to weigh in on the side of a radical leftist policy in violation of the law

00:44:59.680 in some cases. How strange. For the squishy Republicans, the squishy conservatives who believe

00:45:09.680 that somehow secular liberalism is a neutral playing ground and we've all got to stop making

00:45:13.880 substantive arguments about how we want the country to be run and we only should be making

00:45:16.980 these sort of procedural arguments. We should only be just talking about how wonderful it is to have

00:45:22.120 debate and openness. And no, we have to be able to stand for certain things. As I've said until I'm

00:45:29.500 blue in the face, we need to be able to say, no, considering race in admissions and in hiring is

00:45:37.120 wrong. Disadvantaging whites and Asians because they have the wrong color skin and advantaging, 0.93

00:45:45.120 giving an advantage to black and Hispanic applicants just because they have the right 1.00

00:45:49.100 color skin is wrong. We're not going to do it. We're going to stand against that. Not only are we 1.00

00:45:53.480 going to leave it an open question, but we're actively going to prohibit that kind of stuff.

00:45:56.940 That's what we need to do is if you don't, if you don't actually stand for certain things,

00:46:02.360 which means encouraging the good and suppressing the bad, then you're not just going to be left

00:46:08.000 in this neutral playing ground of everything's up in the air. You're going to cede the ground to the

00:46:13.940 left, which is willing to institute what it wants. The former attorney general, Eric Holder,

00:46:18.280 says people need to get out in the streets.

00:46:20.400 And raising the consciousness of people by demonstrating, by getting arrested, by doing the

00:46:25.420 things that ended segregation. If you'd asked people back in the 1950s, you think marching,

00:46:30.700 demonstrating is going to bring down a system of American apartheid? You probably would have said,

00:46:35.160 no, that's just not going to happen. And we should not lose faith right now. We shouldn't

00:46:39.020 lose faith right now. Citizens can make a change. Citizens need to be in the streets. Citizens need to be

00:46:44.520 demonstrating. Citizens need to be calling their representatives to demand the kind of change

00:46:48.780 that will make this country more representative, make our democracy more fair.

00:46:54.060 That's Barack Obama's corrupt, biased, crooked attorney general, Eric Holder, who is not talking

00:46:59.480 about segregation, who is not talking about anything involving civil rights in the mid-20th century.

00:47:06.560 He's talking about a law right now that would federalize elections, upend this constitutional

00:47:12.860 order, and give already sitting elected politicians a huge advantage to keep out anyone who wants to

00:47:17.940 challenge them. So corrupt. And he's saying, get out in the streets. Get out in the streets.

00:47:24.040 Just like so many Democrat politicians. Go get out in the streets and pressure them and threaten

00:47:28.140 them and intimidate everyone in this country into doing what you want them to do. We can't have that.

00:47:32.900 We can't have a country like that. The country seems to be disintegrating all around, not just in

00:47:36.920 Afghanistan, but here as well. And can you even imagine under the potential President Harris?
