The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 856 - Fauci Cancels Christmas... Maybe

00:00:00.000 An illegal alien just followed a U.S. Senator, Democrat Kirsten Sinema, 0.75

00:00:04.480 into a public bathroom to harass her about an upcoming vote 0.99

00:00:07.480 and to demand amnesty and a pathway to citizenship.

00:00:12.980 We can get you out of office if you don't support what you promised us.

00:00:17.400 We need 7 million citizenship for 7 million. 0.91

00:00:20.360 We need the double-backed plan right now.

00:00:25.660 My name is Blanca.

00:00:27.040 I was brought here to the United States when I was 3 years old.

00:00:30.780 And in 2010, my grandparents both got deported because of SB 1070.

00:00:35.660 And I'm here because I definitely believe that we need a pathway to citizenship.

00:00:40.400 My grandfather passed away 2 weeks ago,

00:00:42.920 and I was not able to go to Mexico and visit him

00:00:45.860 because there is no pathway to citizenship.

00:00:48.260 And if we have the opportunity to pass it right now,

00:00:50.900 then we need to do it because there's millions of undocumented people

00:00:53.820 just like me who share the same story or even worse things that happened to them

00:00:58.440 because of SB 1070 and because of anti-immigrant legislation.

00:01:03.280 In a serious country, this woman would be deported before she could say, 1.00

00:01:08.960 hola, muchacho.

00:01:10.220 But because we are not a serious country at the moment, she won't be.

00:01:14.260 In fact, she's being applauded by a lot of the American left.

00:01:17.240 She is not worried at all.

00:01:19.700 She is so unconcerned about being held to account for the serious crime

00:01:25.160 that she is currently committing that she is flaunting it

00:01:28.520 right in front of one of the nation's supposedly most powerful lawmakers.

00:01:32.880 And it isn't just illegal aliens.

00:01:34.680 It's the media.

00:01:35.680 It's the entrenched interests.

00:01:37.520 It's the exalted Dr. Fauci flaunting their expanding and illegitimate power

00:01:42.780 and laughing because there's nothing you can do about it.

00:01:46.700 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:01:47.400 It's The Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:49.700 Welcome back to the show.

00:01:57.060 My favorite comment Friday is from Old Schooled.

00:01:59.100 Man, Old Schooled gets the top comment like two out of every five days.

00:02:04.560 That is very impressive.

00:02:05.740 He writes, quote,

00:02:06.880 For the first time in history, the ineffectiveness of a medical treatment

00:02:09.820 is being blamed on people who haven't even taken it.

00:02:13.100 That's true.

00:02:13.860 Basically, every single problem is being blamed on just about one group of people

00:02:18.760 and all of the other people are getting away with whatever they want to get away with.

00:02:24.340 It's enough to keep you up at night.

00:02:26.240 Though when I want to sleep easy at night, you know what I do?

00:02:28.900 I put my head on MyPillow.

00:02:30.480 You know how much I love MyPillow.

00:02:31.940 One, because it's a patriotic company.

00:03:46.980 This woman, this illegal alien lady, who doesn't sound like a three-year-old. 1.00

00:03:53.540 I don't know about you.

00:03:54.040 She says, I was brought here when I was three, and she's still got quite a bit of an accent, so she hasn't learned a ton of English, perhaps.

00:03:59.020 Maybe she's learned the English, but she hasn't assimilated quite so much during all that time since she's been three years old.

00:04:04.740 She is now complaining that she's not allowed to come and go as she pleases.

00:04:09.660 She's in this country illegally. 0.99

00:04:10.740 She's not allowed to come and go as she pleases because if she leaves, people might realize at the border that she's a foreign national and has no right to be in this country, and so they might not let her back in. 0.99

00:04:19.920 But she wants to stay in, so she doesn't get to go on vacation.

00:04:23.000 She doesn't get to leave the country.

00:04:24.120 She doesn't get to go see her family outside of the country.

00:04:27.800 Right, your family's outside of the country because that's where you guys are citizens.

00:04:32.200 And then some people broke the law and came here illegally, and now you're complaining about this.

00:04:37.100 Further, further, do you hear what she says at the beginning?

00:04:40.860 She and her friends say, we put you in office.

00:04:43.660 We got you elected, and we're going to get you kicked out of office, admitting that illegal aliens are affecting our elections. 1.00

00:04:51.380 She's saying, I am an illegal alien.

00:04:53.140 I put you into office.

00:04:55.000 Why is that?

00:04:55.760 In part, it's because some illegal aliens are voting.

00:04:57.740 We know that for sure.

00:04:58.640 We know that they're affecting the election in other ways.

00:05:00.900 They're going door to door.

00:05:01.780 They're canvassing.

00:05:02.520 They're interfering in the election process.

00:05:04.160 I don't want to hear a word about how someone's colluding with the Russians, which isn't even happening, or Ukrainian interference or Russian interference or whatever,

00:05:13.240 when we have millions and millions and millions of foreign nationals influencing our elections right here in the United States.

00:05:21.940 What happened to our democracy?

00:05:23.560 Isn't the bedrock principle of our democracy that the citizens get to conduct their own elections?

00:05:27.020 No, not in this country.

00:05:30.680 In this country.

00:05:31.540 This woman is so, feels so easy that she's going to go walk up to a top lawmaker in the United States and say, ha ha, I'm breaking the law. 1.00

00:05:42.120 Ha ha ha.

00:05:42.760 Hey, make it easier to break the law.

00:05:44.640 It shows you also how they've shifted the Overton window here on the left.

00:05:47.800 Initially, what people would call for in this case is deport.

00:05:51.240 Deport her and deport all of the other people who are breaking the law by being in this country. 1.00

00:05:55.200 Then the argument moved to, look, let them stay.

00:05:58.100 Don't deport all of them.

00:05:59.060 Deport the really bad ones, but let the other ones stay.

00:06:01.040 And they'll keep their heads down and it's fine.

00:06:02.400 And because we acknowledge birthright citizenship in this country and we are fairly confident in that for the past, at least recent decades, then that's fine.

00:06:11.220 Now we've moved it all the way over to give them amnesty or they'll harass senators in the bathroom. 1.00

00:06:18.640 Does it seem like the right thing to do?

00:06:20.500 Compassionate, just?

00:06:21.340 I don't think so.

00:06:23.020 It's not just the illegal aliens. 0.72

00:06:24.740 I mean, this woman should be deported, you know, by the end of this program. 1.00

00:06:28.240 But it's not just the illegal aliens.

00:06:30.220 And it's not just the people encouraging illegal immigration.

00:06:32.480 It's the whole liberal apparatus.

00:06:34.900 This kind of hubris you're seeing, probably most clearly, with Dr. Fauci.

00:06:39.000 Okay, Dr. Fauci has gotten everything wrong.

00:06:42.120 What he hasn't gotten wrong, he's just lied about.

00:06:44.540 And Dr. Fauci went on Hugh Hewitt's radio program.

00:06:48.460 So Hugh Hewitt, a conservative, but still sort of center-right conservative lawyer and radio host, gets Fauci to come on this show.

00:06:58.100 And Hugh Hewitt, you got to give him credit, he reads him the Riot Act.

00:07:01.000 The controversy over the use or non-use of ivermectin, and there was no study yet completed.

00:07:08.680 Dr. Collins told me it's not done yet.

00:07:11.280 The no discussion of natural immunity, which exists and ought to be out there.

00:07:18.460 The discussion of herd immunity, which is switched back and forth.

00:07:22.460 The mass discussion at the beginning, don't wear masks, the noble lie, and then wear masks.

00:07:28.520 Now equity issues in the FDA panel's scientific discussion.

00:07:33.520 I've lost confidence in the CDC and the FDA.

00:07:37.380 And I actually believe a lot of Americans, a significant part of America, now have lost confidence in you, Dr. Fauci.

00:07:45.000 Is there a point where you will say, I do more harm than good because people don't listen to me anymore, and step aside?

00:07:54.300 No. Absolutely, unequivocally no.

00:07:58.100 No. No, you sheep.

00:08:00.520 I mean, he's going down the list.

00:08:01.500 I actually truncated the Hugh Hewitt clip.

00:08:03.680 He goes on and on about all of the flubs that Fauci has made.

00:08:07.120 And Fauci just goes, nope, there is nothing that you can accuse me of doing that would get me to step down.

00:08:15.380 They asked Joe Biden this some months ago.

00:08:17.280 Is there anything that Dr. Fauci could do that would lead to your firing him?

00:08:23.700 And he says, no.

00:08:25.220 No, there's not.

00:08:26.840 He's the most powerful politician in Washington.

00:08:28.660 He's the top paid employee of the federal government, Dr. Fauci.

00:08:32.960 And that's that.

00:08:34.100 He is in power.

00:08:34.960 He can lie to you.

00:08:36.100 He can mislead you.

00:08:37.440 He can deceive you.

00:08:38.560 He can just plain get stuff wrong.

00:08:40.480 He will not give up his power.

00:08:43.440 And what are you going to do about it?

00:08:44.720 There's nothing.

00:08:45.600 There's nothing you can do about it.

00:08:47.560 Joe Biden doesn't want to fire him.

00:08:49.000 But frankly, he probably couldn't even if he did want to fire him.

00:08:52.620 That is how entrenched this guy is.

00:08:55.100 And Fauci is using that power.

00:08:57.160 It's not like he just has the power and he's just going to sit on it.

00:09:00.260 Kind of like Republicans.

00:09:01.460 When Republicans get elected to office, they say, okay, we've got all this power now and we're not going to use it.

00:09:06.060 Fauci is using it.

00:09:07.700 He used it to lock us all down, to shutter a bunch of businesses, to shutter a bunch of churches, and to cancel holidays.

00:09:14.280 You'll remember last year he said, don't go to Thanksgiving.

00:09:16.860 Don't go to Christmas.

00:09:18.320 Don't go to this.

00:09:19.160 Don't go to that.

00:09:19.580 Well, now we are, what, a year, well over a year and a half later.

00:09:22.260 And Dr. Fauci has asked, again, this is pulling into the back part of 2021, the anchor says, Dr. Fauci, please, please, Dr. Fauci, can we just have Christmas this year?

00:09:39.320 Here's Dr. Fauci's answer.

00:09:41.060 We can gather for Christmas or it's just too soon to tell?

00:09:44.240 You know, Margaret, it's just too soon to tell.

00:09:46.660 We've just got to concentrate on continuing to get those numbers down and not try to jump ahead by weeks or months and say what we're going to do at a particular time.

00:09:56.900 It's just too soon to tell if you can have Christmas.

00:10:01.120 He's like the Grinch.

00:10:02.620 He is the Grinch.

00:10:04.000 He is.

00:10:04.800 Now, obviously, I haven't paid attention to what this guy, I mean, I've paid attention in that I cover it on the show, but I haven't listened to this guy's advice at all, period, not once from the very beginning of the epidemic.

00:10:15.580 And I feel much better for it.

00:10:17.280 And I think my life is greatly improved compared to those of my friends because I have tuned out Dr. Fauci.

00:10:24.920 I will probably be dinged for spreading misinformation or something or something like that because I say don't listen to Dr. Fauci.

00:10:34.320 But I want to be very clear here.

00:10:36.280 I am not saying don't listen to Dr. Fauci because he doesn't know about the science.

00:10:40.980 I think his record on the science speaks for itself and it's not particularly flattering.

00:10:45.580 But I'm making a political point here.

00:10:49.260 This twerp has no credibility.

00:10:52.340 I don't think he has all that much legitimate authority.

00:10:56.000 And it is beyond his job description to cancel Christmas.

00:11:02.200 He doesn't have that right.

00:11:03.700 And if you go along with that, if you are allowing some twerp bureaucrat to cancel one of the most important feast days of the year for your family, for your culture, and for your God, then your priorities are way out of order.

00:11:19.840 However, you should just tune this guy out in general, as far as I'm concerned, but specifically when it comes to Christmas.

00:11:28.620 I guarantee you Dr. Fauci will not be coming out and saying, hey, BLM rioters, the next time that there's some probably hoax, but even if it's a legitimate event that causes some at least performance of grievance.

00:11:39.980 I guarantee you Dr. Fauci will not be coming out and saying, no BLM rallies, stay home.

00:11:44.980 No, he won't say that at all.

00:11:46.060 The public health establishment didn't say that in 2020.

00:11:48.460 The liturgy of the looting is permitted to occur.

00:11:50.640 The BLM riots are permitted to occur.

00:11:52.720 Just not Christmas.

00:11:54.600 And that's not hypocrisy.

00:11:57.320 It is a double standard.

00:11:58.840 It's a hierarchy.

00:11:59.980 It's the culture being led by these freaks telling you, the Dr. Fauci's of the world saying it's very important to go loot the Nike store.

00:12:08.240 That we have to permit.

00:12:09.800 But celebrating Christmas with your family, no can do.

00:12:13.080 Sorry, follow the science.

00:12:15.140 If you want to protect life, not just your life, not just our way of life, but the many, many babies per year who are killed senselessly, needlessly through abortion, I recommend you check out 40 Days for Life.

00:13:28.660 Go get this book.

00:13:29.780 Do not be stumped when this topic comes up.

00:13:32.300 There's another major racial incident.

00:13:35.840 You know, look, it's a racist country.

00:13:37.460 It's an evil racist country and slavery is the original sin and we've never gotten over it.

00:13:44.740 There's no redemption in this view of American history and of the world.

00:13:49.220 And so because it's such a terrible racist evil country, there's a new report out that the Ku Klux Klan is on the loose in Georgia,

00:13:57.580 terrifying a black neighborhood, going mailbox to mailbox, leaving threats to burn down these people's homes and to kill them. 0.99

00:14:09.840 And, oh, it's a hoax perpetrated by a black woman. 0.99

00:14:13.920 Oops.

00:14:15.240 Wow.

00:14:15.700 Because I, I thought, I sure thought, because, you know, I listen to the mainstream media.

00:14:20.080 And so I just assumed that the Ku Klux Klan in 2021 is running roughshod over all of America, terrorizing black people.

00:14:29.840 But it turns out it's just another hoax, just like all of the other ones.

00:14:32.640 A 30-year-old woman, Teresha Lucas, who lives in the Atlanta suburb of Douglasville, 1.00

00:14:39.500 has just been caught and charged with eight counts of making terroristic threats

00:14:43.980 after leaving violent, hateful notes in which she claimed to be a white member of the Ku Klux Klan.

00:14:50.440 The letter uses the N-word.

00:14:53.100 It talks about the KKK, about lynching people, killing kids, killing families, and setting a house on fire,

00:14:58.880 according to one concerned father, rightly concerned, who received one of these notes.

00:15:04.320 The notes threatened to burn their houses down and kill them and said that they don't belong in the neighborhood.

00:15:09.660 But it was all fake, and it's a black woman doing this herself. 0.96

00:15:14.020 There are two kinds of people who are in the Ku Klux Klan in 2021.

00:15:20.440 There are two hoax artists like this woman and FBI agents. 1.00

00:15:25.860 That's the membership, okay, at the annual Ku Klux Klan conference, the retreat.

00:15:31.960 I don't know where they hold the retreat.

00:15:33.020 I guess they probably hold it in this neighborhood in Georgia.

00:15:35.600 You have a bunch of hoax artists who are trying to gin up grievance for their own political ends,

00:15:42.920 and a bunch of federal agents.

00:15:45.280 And I think that's it.

00:15:46.420 And maybe there's like one guy.

00:15:48.140 There's like Jimbo, who never got the message.

00:15:50.440 That the Ku Klux Klan hasn't been a thing in decades.

00:15:54.500 That's it.

00:15:55.220 That's the whole thing.

00:15:56.720 So why?

00:15:57.760 Why is this woman writing all these hateful, vicious things about her own race, about her own neighbors? 0.99

00:16:04.900 Why is she doing that? 1.00

00:16:06.820 This is a painful thing, isn't it?

00:16:09.840 No, it's not.

00:16:10.580 It's pleasurable.

00:16:11.660 This is pleasurable.

00:16:12.500 This is like the leather and the whips and the chains and, you know, this is a sadomasochistic society.

00:16:20.060 It is pleasurable for people in our perverse culture to be able to claim pain and victimhood.

00:16:27.560 It gives them pleasure, and it gives them social currency, and it gives them political advantage, which is why people do it.

00:16:33.600 They do it as best.

00:16:34.320 Everyone does it.

00:16:35.040 If you've got some weird sex thing, you claim that as victimhood.

00:16:39.360 If you can in any way claim to be a racial minority, that will give you victimhood. 1.00

00:16:43.260 If you can claim to be a woman, not just if you are a woman, but if you can claim to be a woman, that will give you some kind of social currency.

00:16:51.660 Women are considered to be a minority.

00:16:54.500 They're the only majority of the population that gets to be claimed as a minority.

00:16:59.160 That is what carries in this culture, and it's a religious view, right?

00:17:07.640 Because you know what you're going to hear from people when you point out, okay, you know, all these hoaxes.

00:17:11.880 I chronicle a ton of them in my book, Speechless, just right down the list, specifically on campus, all of these racial hoaxes. 0.78

00:17:18.440 Almost every time you see a big high-profile case of a noose or an N-word or whatever or a swastika, almost always it's a hoax, okay? 0.81

00:17:29.400 Why?

00:17:31.080 Why?

00:17:31.580 Because there's no actual Ku Klux Klan out there.

00:17:35.400 There are no actual skinheads marching through the street.

00:17:37.640 There's none of it's real, and yet the religious premise here is that racism and white supremacy pervades America.

00:17:44.700 And so when that isn't the case, you just have to make it up.

00:17:47.500 You have to.

00:17:48.280 It's a noble lie.

00:17:49.120 You heard Hugh Hewitt referring to the noble lie of Dr. Fauci.

00:17:51.800 The noble lie of Dr. Fauci, you know, in his mind was, I think that the masks will stop the spread of the virus,

00:17:59.680 but I don't want people to go buy up all the masks and for there to be a shortage, so I'm going to say that the masks don't work.

00:18:05.580 That was his noble lie at the beginning of the epidemic.

00:18:08.700 Here, too, the noble lie is the Ku Klux Klan writing all these letters. 0.75

00:18:13.100 Because even if it's false, it gets to a greater truth.

00:18:16.740 Now, it doesn't.

00:18:17.720 It just gets to the kooky, bizarre racial and religious premises of the left.

00:18:23.760 But for the left, white supremacy explains everything.

00:18:26.560 You heard this from Ayanna Pressley.

00:18:28.500 She is one of the minor members of the squad.

00:18:32.620 You know, the John and Paul of the squad are AOC and Ilhan Omar.

00:18:37.900 They're kind of the leading act.

00:18:39.880 And then probably Ayanna Pressley, I guess you would say Rashida Tlaib is George Harrison. 0.91

00:18:46.800 She's a little more out there.

00:18:47.600 And then Ayanna Pressley, she's the Ringo, okay?

00:18:50.600 But those are the four of them.

00:18:51.760 So Ayanna Pressley just comes out. 1.00

00:18:52.920 And she is attacking pro-life laws. 0.98

00:18:55.600 And she's very upset that babies are going to survive in Texas. 0.99

00:18:58.700 And she says that pro-life laws, I kid you not, pro-life laws are rooted in and an expression of white supremacy.

00:19:06.620 The year 2021 has been the most devastating for abortion rights in American history.

00:19:11.620 In the midst of an ongoing global pandemic that robbed us of more than 690,000 lives

00:19:16.940 and disproportionately impacted our most vulnerable and black and brown communities,

00:19:21.320 anti-abortion legislators in 47 states focused on legislating hurt and harm

00:19:26.920 to push this critical health care out of reach.

00:19:30.360 These misguided bans will not actually prevent all abortions.

00:19:34.640 They simply put safe and necessary abortion care out of reach for our most vulnerable,

00:19:39.760 specifically our lowest-income sisters, our queer, trans, and non-binary siblings,

00:19:44.840 black, Latinx, AAPI, immigrants, disabled, and indigenous folks.

00:19:50.580 And none of this is happenstance.

00:19:53.300 It is precise.

00:19:54.860 Like the roots of the anti-abortion movement, these bans are rooted in patriarchy and white supremacy.

00:20:00.480 They perpetuate cycles of poverty and economic inequality and exacerbate many of our starkest health disparities.

00:20:06.320 Enough.

00:20:07.060 So virtually everything she said there is not true, but I want to focus for a second on what she says.

00:20:11.280 The roots of the anti-abortion movement are in patriarchy and white supremacy.

00:20:17.640 The opposite is true.

00:20:21.980 The pro-abortion movement is rooted in white supremacy.

00:20:27.120 Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, the eugenics movement more broadly,

00:20:31.840 was aimed at reducing the number of black people in America and killing the black babies that are conceived through abortion. 0.98

00:20:38.920 And this is not some wacky conspiracy theory.

00:20:41.020 You can read it in her writings.

00:20:42.100 They're finally now at Planned Parenthood starting to take down Margaret Sanger's picture and name from buildings

00:20:47.080 because it's a little politically awkward that you've got this anti-black eugenicist as the face of the organization.

00:20:53.480 But that is the effect of it.

00:20:55.100 Black people are killed disproportionately through abortion.

00:20:57.680 In New York City today, it is more dangerous.

00:21:00.360 The most dangerous place in New York City for a black person is in his mother's womb. 1.00

00:21:03.680 The majority of black babies conceived in New York are killed through abortion.

00:21:06.520 This, I don't think, the mythical white supremacist out there who's running rampant in some neighborhood in Georgia,

00:21:14.540 even though he appears to be a 30-year-old black woman, you know,

00:21:17.280 the white supremacists would probably be perfectly fine with that, wouldn't they?

00:21:22.240 With black babies being killed because then there are fewer black babies and they have less share of the population.

00:21:26.800 It would seem to me that the people who don't want to kill all those black babies, 1.00

00:21:32.000 they're the ones who have far greater care for black people.

00:21:34.540 But let's go even further than that.

00:21:38.380 In Africa, abortion barely exists.

00:21:42.220 In Africa itself, this is according to the Guttmacher Institute, which is a pro-abortion think tank.

00:21:48.960 93% of women of reproductive age in Africa live in countries with restrictive abortion laws.

00:21:55.080 Okay, even in countries that do allow abortion, it's very limited.

00:21:59.660 There are very few women who can actually get it. 1.00

00:22:01.160 10 out of 54 countries in Africa ban abortion outright.

00:22:06.100 All but four countries place very heavy restrictions on it.

00:22:10.220 Abortion is the colonialism.

00:22:12.740 Abortion is the white supremacy.

00:22:14.580 Abortion is the awful export that we are now trying to force on Africa. 1.00

00:22:19.480 How are you going to tell me that pro-life laws are white supremacy when practically the entire continent of Africa itself has pro-life laws?

00:22:29.000 Now, you might tell me, well, that's just a product of colonialism.

00:22:32.460 That's embedded white supremacy.

00:22:35.440 Well, who came up with the pro-abortion movement?

00:22:37.200 First of all, abortion, I guess, and eugenics is the kind of natural pagan state of mankind. 0.96

00:22:41.760 It was practiced in ancient Sparta.

00:22:43.260 It's practiced in a lot of pagan civilizations.

00:22:44.980 But do you see how this is unfalsifiable?

00:22:49.340 Any evil that you want to point to in the world can be blamed on white supremacy.

00:22:56.480 Well, what if it's only black people doing it and not white people? 0.72

00:23:01.140 Well, that's because of their ingrained white supremacy. 0.93

00:23:03.940 There's no way out of this sort of thing.

00:23:07.100 I also like here that Ayanna Pressley is admitting that abortion is in no small part about sacrificing babies at the altar of money. 0.99

00:23:17.020 She's saying it's really hard to get ahead economically if you have a baby.

00:23:20.460 And that's why we need to let women kill their babies. 1.00

00:23:22.320 You're saying we need to have women, and black women specifically, kill their babies so that they can make a little bit more money? 1.00

00:23:28.960 That's the way you're going to frame your argument?

00:23:30.640 It doesn't sound particularly moral to me.

00:23:33.200 It sounds like the strange ravings of some kook religion. 1.00

00:25:08.060 Also, you've got to tune in to Ben Shapiro's show, Is a New Civil War Coming?

00:25:13.080 He's going to answer that question.

00:25:14.880 He'll at least ask that question.

00:25:16.240 Go check it out.

00:25:17.300 We'll be right back with a lot more.

00:25:18.340 During the Trump administration, there was an expression that became one of the slogans on the left.

00:25:36.240 And it's that the cruelty is the point.

00:25:39.020 And they were referring specifically to Trump's border policies, which weren't materially all that different from Obama's or even Clinton's border policies.

00:25:48.260 And they're certainly not different than Biden's border policies, which are pretty, pretty brutal right now.

00:25:53.920 You know, kids in cages, that sort of thing.

00:25:56.200 He said the cruelty is the point.

00:25:58.180 The only difference was that Trump was trying in some way to slow the number of foreign nationals pouring into the country.

00:26:06.280 And Joe Biden's really not doing that at all.

00:26:08.160 But you're still getting the kids in cages.

00:26:09.360 You're still getting all these kind of cruel actions.

00:26:13.520 I don't think that was the case with Trump.

00:26:15.800 I think with Trump, the point was to enforce the law and get people to follow the law.

00:26:20.800 But the head of Planned Parenthood, this woman, Alexis Johnson, has just come out.

00:26:25.000 And she at the women, there was another women's march. 0.94

00:26:28.320 No one really paid any attention to it.

00:26:29.900 And the women's march is now basically just a pro-abortion march.

00:26:32.900 So she comes out and she embraces a version of this slogan, but in a positive way as she sees it.

00:26:41.960 She says that the entire point of the women's march and the pro-abortion movement and the left broadly is to turn pain into purpose.

00:26:51.260 Look, y'all, this moment is dark.

00:26:55.000 It is dark, but that is why we are here.

00:26:59.020 Movements exist because of darkness.

00:27:01.980 And it is our job to imagine the light even when we can't see it.

00:27:07.540 It is our job.

00:27:09.200 It is our job to turn pain into purpose, to turn pain into promise, and to turn pain into power.

00:27:17.640 Turn pain into purpose, turn pain into promise, turn pain into power.

00:27:21.220 That is what they're doing.

00:27:22.340 And for people who are confused about the border policies, for people who are confused about the immigration policies, and then the illegal aliens going in and harassing female senators in the bathroom and going out in the street and burning things down and looting and rioting.

00:27:39.220 And the left apparently being perfectly okay with this.

00:27:42.220 The left, in some cases, even encouraging it.

00:27:44.960 Kamala Harris, sitting vice president, who is bailing out the rioters.

00:27:49.220 If you're confused as to why a black woman would pretend to be a white man in the Ku Klux Klan to terrorize her neighbors, it's because you do not understand the principle that this head of Planned Parenthood just espoused. 0.69

00:28:05.240 Pain into purpose, pain into purpose, pain into promise, pain into power.

00:28:13.740 And if the pain does not exist, if the country is basically just fine and people aren't being oppressed and having their rights taken away and, you know, in great mortal fear all the time, if they're not in that moment, you're going to have to create the pain.

00:28:30.500 And you're going to make the pain and then you're going to exploit the pain for purpose, for promise, and to seize power.

00:28:37.840 That's what's going to happen.

00:28:39.400 And a lot of what we've seen on immigration, certainly on the racial stuff, but notably on the coronavirus lockdowns, has to do with that.

00:28:50.200 The coronavirus for the vast, vast, vast majority of people is a cough.

00:28:55.660 We all know people who have had, many of us have had coronavirus already and it was to varying degrees unpleasant to you didn't even know you had it.

00:29:04.840 Okay, and for some people in specific risk groups, it was really, really bad.

00:29:10.200 But for the vast majority of people, it was totally fine.

00:29:13.580 Certainly would not seem to warrant locking down the entire world for 15 days that turned into coming up on two years.

00:29:21.100 So why did they do it?

00:29:23.760 Pain, do you get it?

00:29:25.560 Pain into purpose, pain into promise, pain into power.

00:29:28.280 And they've taken a lot of power and they're not going to be giving that power back any time soon.

00:29:32.920 This is part of a broader left strategy.

00:29:34.580 I'll give you an example of this from Georgia.

00:29:36.600 There's a state representative there, Donna McLeod, a Democrat, and she is a state rep in Georgia.

00:29:44.380 She told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that she really doesn't like the idea of there being a statue to Clarence Thomas.

00:29:50.560 They were thinking of knocking down a bunch of Confederate statues in Georgia and then what are you going to replace them with?

00:29:55.480 Well, someone suggested how about you replace it with Clarence Thomas, right?

00:29:59.840 He's black, so he's not an evil white man.

00:30:01.660 He's a black guy, even though the left says that the very black Clarence Thomas is a white guy.

00:30:05.560 But, you know, white guys, they're the most evil people in the history of the world.

00:30:08.440 So, okay, he's a black guy and he's a very accomplished jurist and a very accomplished man and a wonderful judge on the Supreme Court.

00:30:16.760 So, good, let's put a statue up to him.

00:30:18.920 Certainly, that'd be better than Jefferson Davis or something, right?

00:30:21.640 And this woman says no. 0.94

00:30:24.040 She says, I'd rather them keep a Confederate monument than have a statue of Clarence Thomas.

00:30:31.240 That's how much I don't like the idea.

00:30:32.740 And I don't think that she's in the minority of Democrats on this topic.

00:30:39.140 I think this shows you something that a lot of squish Republicans didn't understand.

00:30:43.780 When the left started going after Robert E. Lee, for instance, a lot of the squish Republicans said, oh, who cares?

00:30:51.780 Who cares?

00:30:52.380 It's just Robert E. Lee.

00:30:53.220 He's a traitor.

00:30:55.100 He's a Democrat.

00:30:57.540 That'll show them.

00:30:58.380 Yeah, they don't even realize they're taking down the statue of a Democrat.

00:31:01.400 Yeah, tear down that statue.

00:31:04.020 Yeah, I like that they're tearing that down, actually.

00:31:06.540 Yeah, this is a total win for me, even though it's only Democrats pushing for it and that we're giving them exactly what they want.

00:31:10.620 Yeah, this is a huge win.

00:31:12.660 But it's not.

00:31:13.680 It's not.

00:31:14.460 First of all, that wasn't the tack that Abraham Lincoln, I think, would have taken, right?

00:31:17.960 Now let's turn on charity for all.

00:31:19.440 Bring the country together.

00:31:20.520 The South is part of the country.

00:31:21.780 We're now going to have a country again after the Civil War.

00:31:23.640 However, but furthermore, tearing down those statues never had anything to do with Robert E. Lee, never had anything to do with Stonewall Jackson, never had anything to do with Andrew Jackson, if you want to go back a little earlier, never had anything to do with Thomas Jefferson earlier than that, or George Washington, or anyone else that they're tearing down.

00:31:42.540 Or Christopher Columbus, for that matter.

00:31:43.780 It had everything to do with you, okay?

00:31:49.000 When the libs tear down statues of old dead white guys, they are tearing down statues of you, not even just you white guys out there. 0.53

00:31:59.600 Every single person alive today who is in any way a conservative, they are tearing down the statues of you.

00:32:07.760 And they would rather keep up a statue of Jefferson Davis than have a statue of you.

00:32:11.460 Even if you're a black guy, even if you're a modern person, even if you didn't own slaves or whatever, the act of tearing down historical figures is not about primarily canceling Christopher Columbus.

00:32:23.220 It's about canceling half of the country and keeping you out of political power and keeping you out of influence and making sure that you have absolutely no say in how we run this country together, in how your communities are run, or frankly, even in how you run your lives.

00:32:39.520 Which is why you no longer even have the right to celebrate Christmas, according to some people in the government.

00:32:44.180 You're seeing this to a slightly greater extent, even, in Australia right now.

00:32:49.920 There's a video going around, viral, of some cop.

00:32:53.060 You know, Australia's under very serious COVID lockdowns.

00:32:56.220 A cop shows up wearing one of these dinky little masks, and she walks up to a person's private residence, and she begins to explain why it's very, very wrong and awful and illegal that this person even suggested that maybe they might go out and protest the lockdowns.

00:33:17.360 Is there a reason why you're recording me today?

00:33:19.360 Yes, for my protection.

00:33:21.400 You think I'm going to assault you or something?

00:33:23.260 No, so I don't understand why you're here.

00:33:29.780 I haven't even spoken to you, and you think I'm going to do something to you?

00:33:33.740 Well, we have seen a lot of police violence in recent times towards the public.

00:33:38.900 There is a growing mistrust, as you can understand.

00:33:45.120 We don't have to worry about that.

00:33:46.240 I'm not here to do anything like that.

00:33:48.080 All right, cool.

00:33:48.860 We're here to have a chat to you because we have instructions that you've been posting some things on social media.

00:33:53.860 I understand.

00:33:55.120 And that you...

00:33:58.820 Have you got a protest?

00:33:59.580 Protest on Tuesday.

00:34:01.840 There's no protest on Tuesday.

00:34:04.420 There isn't.

00:34:05.460 Okay, that's fine.

00:34:06.420 But what I'm here is to remind you to ensure that you need to stay at home in relation to COVID and stay-at-home orders.

00:34:14.120 And if there is or is not a protest on Tuesday, regardless, you still can't leave and go to a protest of any sort.

00:34:22.160 I understand.

00:34:23.080 Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, anything like that.

00:34:26.360 I just want to talk to you about something.

00:34:29.140 Yeah.

00:34:29.780 Yeah.

00:34:30.080 I don't know what accent I'm doing.

00:34:31.360 Yeah, yeah.

00:34:32.020 I just want to talk to you about something.

00:34:33.720 Yeah.

00:34:34.100 It's like a mixture of East London and South African. 0.53

00:34:36.720 Yeah, yeah.

00:34:37.020 Well, I saw what you posted on there, on the Twitter, and you said you might protest the government.

00:34:44.120 No, no, you cannot do that.

00:34:46.100 I was spying on your social media, and I saw you protested the government, and you cannot do this wrong.

00:34:52.140 And you see how concerned this cop is.

00:34:54.380 No, look, it's just for you.

00:34:56.020 Yeah, you just, you can't do that.

00:34:57.940 Yeah.

00:34:58.740 All right, I'm going to cut it out with this accent. 1.00

00:35:00.540 I sound like some just East London soccer hooligan.

00:35:03.800 Again, this sort of thing, it is coming here already.

00:35:08.840 It already kind of is here in the United States, though.

00:35:10.860 It's not quite as widespread as it is in Australia.

00:35:15.760 What's most interesting about this clip to me is that you've got an ostensibly conservative woman 0.99

00:35:21.460 using some of the same rhetoric here about cops as you might hear from BLM.

00:35:26.700 There have been a lot of incidents with the cops.

00:35:28.340 The cops are encroaching on our rights.

00:35:29.640 There have been some violent incidents, like when the cops start spraying you with rubber bullets.

00:35:32.860 And so I'm filming you for my protection.

00:35:36.700 You hear that same thing from BLM here in the United States, that the cops are out, you know,

00:35:41.240 racists, and they're all going to just try to hunt down innocent black guys.

00:35:45.580 Now, I point this out because the institutions in the West broadly are crumbling.

00:35:52.160 People don't have faith in them anymore.

00:35:53.500 Hugh Hewitt said that at the top.

00:35:54.420 I don't have faith in the CDC.

00:35:55.520 I don't have faith in the FDA.

00:35:57.020 Neither side has faith in our elections.

00:35:58.820 In 2016, all the Dems said that Hillary actually won.

00:36:01.940 In 2020, all the Republicans said that Trump actually won.

00:36:05.300 BLM says that the cops are not to be trusted and are overstepping their bounds.

00:36:09.780 The conservatives now are saying the very same thing.

00:36:12.000 Now, so this poses a big problem for the establishment.

00:36:15.320 But I want to be careful here.

00:36:17.040 I'm not saying that both sides are making equally valid claims.

00:36:20.880 When BLM says that there's an epidemic of cops going out, racist cops trying to kill innocent

00:36:26.480 black people, it's just not true. 1.00

00:36:28.320 It just isn't happening.

00:36:29.540 It's not backed up by any evidence or any statistics whatsoever.

00:36:32.800 Actually, very, very, very, very few black men, innocent black men are killed by the cops 0.71

00:36:38.200 every year, infinitesimally few.

00:36:39.980 And even unarmed black men, which doesn't mean unjust shootings, are very, very low numbers.

00:36:45.440 Okay, so those claims are false, whereas the claims that cops are shutting down businesses,

00:36:52.420 the claims that cops are keeping people locked in, the claims that cops are showing up to

00:36:56.200 churches and shutting them down, that is happening.

00:36:58.540 And that did happen for a lot of 2020, and it's still happening, and it's happening notably

00:37:02.040 in Australia, okay?

00:37:03.260 So those are different things.

00:37:05.000 The claims that Trump cheated in 2016 because he colluded with the Russians or whatever.

00:37:10.080 There was a multi-million dollar investigation of this.

00:37:12.280 It just wasn't true.

00:37:13.100 It was completely false, okay?

00:37:14.900 The claims that there were shenanigans in the 2020 election are obviously true.

00:37:18.780 Forget even for a second the audits, which have raised, I've talked about it on the show,

00:37:22.620 have raised some serious concerns about the integrity of the election.

00:37:26.020 But even just the way that all the election integrity measures were taken away, so many

00:37:30.320 of them before 2020, that in Pennsylvania, the way the election was conducted was in violation

00:37:35.660 of the state constitution.

00:37:38.160 The use of ubiquitous, unsolicited, widespread mail-in ballots, the use of ballot drop boxes,

00:37:43.900 all of these raised questions.

00:37:46.080 And so I don't, I'm not saying, well, both sides are making these claims.

00:37:49.220 I'm saying one side is making much more serious and justifiable claims than the other one.

00:37:54.360 But neither side has trust in the institutions anymore, which is really bad news for the ruling

00:38:02.160 class.

00:38:03.780 Look what they're doing now through their proxy of social media.

00:38:06.660 Big tech is technically, I guess in some ways it's technically the private sector, even

00:38:11.540 though Google and the government are very hard to separate and lots of Google was funded

00:38:15.500 by the government and they work in cahoots with one another.

00:38:17.780 So it's a little bit blurry, public and private there.

00:38:20.620 But in any case, the ruling establishment uses big tech as its enforcement arm.

00:38:27.420 Twitter is now not just censoring news reports that are damaging to Democrats.

00:38:31.420 Twitter is now not just censoring conservatives they don't like, up to and including the

00:38:35.760 sitting president of the United States, Donald Trump, in January.

00:38:40.940 Twitter is censoring obituaries.

00:38:43.480 There was an obituary going around over the weekend of a woman, Jessie Berg Wilson.

00:38:49.660 The obituary went up and referred to this woman who did not want to get the COVID vaccine. 0.96

00:38:55.620 She did get the COVID vaccine.

00:38:56.780 She was finally pressured to buy her job, buy her community, and then she died.

00:39:01.400 And she died of, according to the obituary, COVID-19 vaccine induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia,

00:39:09.400 V-I-T-T, surrounded by her family.

00:39:11.900 She was 37 years young.

00:39:14.880 She was a mother and had no underlying health conditions.

00:39:17.920 This according to the obituary.

00:39:20.540 So the obituary makes very clear they blame this on the vaccine.

00:39:24.100 We know the FDA and the CDC have admitted that the vaccines have caused blood clots and similar

00:39:30.060 conditions, specifically in younger women, and have led to death in some cases.

00:39:34.700 So none of this is some kooky, unsubstantiated misinformation.

00:39:38.860 The CDC has admitted as much.

00:39:41.720 And yet, this obituary that was going around over the weekend stopped going around for a

00:39:46.340 while because Twitter censored it.

00:39:48.480 You could not reply to the tweet.

00:39:49.820 You could not like the tweet, which would share it to some degree.

00:39:54.080 And you could not retweet it without adding a comment.

00:39:57.580 And then when you looked at the obituary, it said, this obituary is misleading.

00:40:01.740 Imagine what the family thinks, saying that the obituary is misleading.

00:40:07.240 I don't know what happened to this woman. 1.00

00:40:09.880 I have no reason to not believe the account because even the CDC has admitted that similar

00:40:15.140 incidents have taken place.

00:40:16.600 That's why they paused the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

00:40:18.220 It's because the Johnson & Johnson vaccine caused conditions just like this one in women,

00:40:22.620 just like this one.

00:40:24.060 Okay, so I have no reason not to believe it.

00:40:25.700 But here's the one thing I do know, whether it's true or not, if the article were an obituary

00:40:31.320 for someone who said, this person really didn't want the vaccine, and then this person died

00:40:36.500 of COVID, and her dying words were, I wish I took the COVID vaccine, you can be damn sure

00:40:42.140 it wouldn't be censored.

00:40:42.980 It would be promoted.

00:40:43.820 It would be trending news.

00:40:44.920 It would be pushed by the propaganda wing of the ruling class.

00:40:50.760 But because the ruling class hasn't a leg to stand on on so many of their claims, and

00:40:56.400 no one trusts them, even the people who are inclined to trust them don't, they've got to

00:41:00.980 clamp down, censor, censor, censor, even censoring some poor young mother's obituary. 0.98

00:41:06.400 Young mother was bullied into taking the vaccine when she felt that she did not need to, and

00:41:11.820 that she was in overall good health, and she was willing to take the risk of contracting

00:41:15.960 the virus rather than taking the experimental vaccine.

00:41:22.100 The ruling establishment is really, really turning up the dial on the propaganda to a way

00:41:29.940 that would be really funny if it weren't so sad.

00:41:34.500 You may have noticed at some public events recently, there has been an uncouth chant.

00:41:40.620 This is sporting events, concerts, and what people are chanting is F. Joe Biden, and they

00:41:47.960 chant this a lot at all these sorts of events, and it seems to happen out of nowhere, and you've

00:41:53.000 been hearing it for weeks now.

00:41:54.660 So, NBC shows up, NBC Sports shows up to a NASCAR race, all right?

00:41:59.980 NASCAR, probably not filled with the highest percentage of Biden supporters of any event

00:42:05.240 in the country, and they're interviewing one of the drivers, and in the background, you

00:42:10.000 can hear this chant cropping up, as it has in a lot of places, and the reporter refuses to

00:42:17.840 ignore the chant, but also refuses to acknowledge the chant.

00:42:21.700 Instead, the reporter chooses to rewrite the chant.

00:42:27.160 Thank you to all of our partners.

00:42:29.740 Oh my God, it was such an unbelievable moment.

00:42:33.680 Brandon, you also told me, you can hear the chants from the crowd.

00:42:40.480 Let's go, Brandon.

00:42:41.880 You told me you were going to kind of hang back those stages and just watch and learn what

00:42:47.620 you learned that helped you there in those closing laps.

00:42:49.920 Oh my God, it was learning how each line didn't stay to one.

00:42:56.600 Everything shifted top to bottom.

00:42:59.380 Do you think they were saying, let's go, Brandon?

00:43:03.300 I, look, I don't have the best hearing, okay?

00:43:06.080 But I didn't hear let's.

00:43:09.240 I mean, because I agree.

00:43:10.580 I believe that Brandon should go-go himself.

00:43:13.160 I agree.

00:43:14.520 I, I, whatever they were chanting, I think I agree with that.

00:43:18.000 So if it's, let's go, Brandon, sure, Brandon, go-go yourself, go-go yourself, Brandon.

00:43:22.220 But I don't think that's exactly what they were saying.

00:43:25.140 And what's so offensive about it is that I, I, I don't think this woman's hearing is clogged

00:43:31.240 any more than ours is.

00:43:32.040 She heard what they said and she rewrote it and she's looking at all of you.

00:43:36.840 You can't see her on camera, but she is effectively looking at all of you and saying,

00:43:40.500 hey, that thing you just heard, you didn't really hear it.

00:43:43.580 That thing that you're hearing right now behind me, that undeniable loud thing that a crowd

00:43:48.700 of people is screaming.

00:43:50.140 Yeah, they're not really doing that.

00:43:52.460 No, no.

00:43:53.380 You know what they're saying?

00:43:54.060 They're saying, let's go, Brandon.

00:43:55.700 Yeah, that's right.

00:43:57.040 That's the ticket.

00:43:57.960 Let's go, Brandon.

00:44:01.560 If the press are lying to you about this, what else are they lying to you about?

00:44:07.660 This is like that thing.

00:44:08.840 Drew Klavan points this out a lot.

00:44:09.900 You open up the newspaper and you say, oh, Syria.

00:44:12.300 Okay.

00:44:12.640 And this is what's happening in Syria.

00:44:13.760 Okay.

00:44:14.020 That's fine.

00:44:14.380 I believe that.

00:44:15.160 And oh, hey, um, taxes.

00:44:17.120 Yeah.

00:44:17.300 Okay.

00:44:17.460 This is what's happening in taxes.

00:44:18.820 Okay.

00:44:19.040 I believe that.

00:44:19.660 And oh, hey, the Yankees.

00:44:21.000 And wait a second, that's not happening with the Yankees.

00:44:23.220 No, it's not.

00:44:24.180 Whatever this reporter's writing isn't true.

00:44:25.800 And I know that because I follow the Yankees.

00:44:28.040 Okay.

00:44:28.460 Well, time to, oh, healthcare policy.

00:44:29.880 Okay.

00:44:30.160 That's what's going on in healthcare.

00:44:31.060 So, you know, on the one thing you know about, you know, the press is lying, but then you go ahead

00:44:35.660 and you believe them on all the other topics that you don't know anything about.

00:44:39.140 Why?

00:44:39.500 There's no reason to believe they're any more trustworthy there than they are here.

00:44:43.140 If they're going to lie to you about what someone is chanting directly behind their heads,

00:44:47.520 that you can see, you can see their mouths moving for goodness sakes.

00:44:50.080 They're going to lie to you about anything that serves their political advantage.

00:44:55.620 So what do we do about this?

00:44:57.840 There's a county in North Carolina who's taking matters into their own hands.

00:45:02.380 County in North Carolina is insisting that its local school board institute a policy that would

00:45:09.080 discipline or fire teachers if they assert that the founding fathers were no good, terrible,

00:45:14.800 awful people.

00:45:15.540 And if they make statements undermining the constitution, and if they assert that racism

00:45:19.000 is this perpetual problem in America that's never going to get any better, they would be

00:45:22.800 fined or possibly fired.

00:45:26.080 Awesome.

00:45:27.100 Oh, man, that's great.

00:45:28.780 There are going to be three reactions here.

00:45:30.200 There's going to be the left reaction, which is, this is terrible, and their heads are going

00:45:32.940 to explode, and they're going to say, not only should they not be fired for this, but they

00:45:36.220 should be required to teach that America's evil and the constitution's terrible, right?

00:45:39.000 That's the left one reaction.

00:45:40.180 Then there's the squish libertarian reaction, which is, well, actually, you know, this threatens

00:45:44.200 academic freedom, and the teachers should be allowed to teach whatever they want about

00:45:46.780 the founding fathers, and actually, the eighth grade classroom is a free marketplace of ideas

00:45:50.680 and whatever, right?

00:45:51.320 So that's the squish version.

00:45:52.940 And then there's the conservative answer, which is, oh, yeah, teachers shouldn't teach

00:45:56.860 false things.

00:45:58.140 If they teach bad, false things, they should lose their jobs because they're not fulfilling

00:46:02.620 the basic job requirement of being a teacher.

00:46:04.980 That is, providing students with an edifying, liberal education.

00:46:10.740 Liberal meaning making sense of your freedom, learning true things, mastering your worst

00:46:14.960 impulses, and being ready to be a free citizen.

00:46:19.180 So I guess the devil's in the details here, but the Johnson County Board of Commissioners

00:46:23.200 is going to withhold almost eight million bucks until the policy is accepted by the school

00:46:27.200 board.

00:46:28.720 North Carolina schools are denying that they're teaching critical race theory and all this stuff,

00:46:32.400 but they are.

00:46:33.060 They're just calling it a different name.

00:46:35.100 So what's the actual policy?

00:46:36.520 The actual policy says, no student or staff member shall be subjected to the notion that

00:46:40.220 racism is a permanent component of American life.

00:46:42.880 Good.

00:46:43.400 Glad.

00:46:43.900 You're right.

00:46:44.500 Absolutely.

00:46:45.000 If a teacher violates that, should be fired.

00:46:46.880 Number two, all people deserve full credit and recognition for their struggles and accomplishments

00:46:51.100 throughout United States history.

00:46:52.960 And if you don't give people the credit that they deserve, and if you only talk about the

00:46:56.240 negative things and you don't talk about any of the positive things, you're going to

00:46:58.560 lose your job.

00:46:59.080 Great.

00:46:59.360 Love that.

00:46:59.780 Awesome.

00:47:00.140 The United States foundational documents shall not be undermined.

00:47:02.800 Of course, this is the basic, this is the basic idea of public education is you've

00:47:07.100 got to give, you've got to educate people to be citizens, to keep the country going.

00:47:11.320 That's the whole point of it.

00:47:12.100 So yeah, duh.

00:47:13.280 Obviously they should be fired for that. 0.97

00:47:15.040 No employee of Johnson, Johnston County schools will make any attempt to discredit the

00:47:18.920 efforts made by all people using foundational documents for reform.

00:47:23.100 Good.

00:47:23.680 No fictional accounts or narratives shall be used to invalidate actual objective historical

00:47:27.380 events.

00:47:28.380 Good.

00:47:28.940 Yes.

00:47:29.280 Obviously the left is going to spin this and they're going to say, you want these teachers

00:47:32.700 to teach fabulous fables and, and sort of nonsense and fairy tales about a founding.

00:47:37.500 No, they're saying no fictional accounts, no fake, only real history.

00:47:41.620 Good.

00:47:42.120 All people who contributed to American society will be recognized and presented as reformists,

00:47:46.340 innovators and heroes to our culture.

00:47:47.680 Good.

00:47:48.320 Fine.

00:47:48.600 But that's the most controversial one.

00:47:49.780 But yeah, that's the idea.

00:47:50.800 People have contributed in a way to American culture that we now defend as part and parcel of

00:47:55.860 citizenship and the way that we look on ourselves based on real historical fact, they will be

00:48:00.380 presented in that light.

00:48:01.280 Yeah.

00:48:01.500 Duh.

00:48:01.900 Makes sense.

00:48:02.680 And failure to comply will result in disciplinary action up to and including dismissal.

00:48:06.740 That's right, baby.

00:48:08.280 That's right.

00:48:08.900 That's what we've got to do.

00:48:10.800 Time to say no.

00:48:11.800 I know that Republicans only, conservatives only ever like saying yes.

00:48:14.740 Yes.

00:48:14.980 We'll be inclusive.

00:48:15.680 Yes.

00:48:16.100 We'll bring everybody in.

00:48:17.200 You'll never face any consequences.

00:48:18.780 You'll never be deported.

00:48:19.780 We're for open everything.

00:48:21.000 We just, it's got to be legal and it's got to be in a certain way, but we want everybody

00:48:24.960 to, you can harass senators in the bathroom, but you got to do it legally.

00:48:27.760 Okay.

00:48:28.020 Right.

00:48:28.300 And we know we want to open up the curriculum and we want everyone to pursue their own individual

00:48:32.140 autonomy however they want.

00:48:33.160 No, no, no.

00:48:36.240 Liberty requires limits and that entails saying no.

00:48:41.440 And that entails a little bit of cancel culture, which exists everywhere in every single society.

00:48:45.880 And instead of only canceling the good stuff, instead of only canceling the stuff along left-wing

00:48:51.060 ideological lines, instead of only canceling George Washington, I think we got to start

00:48:55.460 canceling the libs.
