Summary

00:00:37.700 Glenn Youngkin scored a major upset in Virginia, winning back the governor's mansion for Republicans
00:00:43.800 on a sophisticated campaign focused on education, parental rights, and a return to normal
00:00:51.000 from the public health tyranny of the past 600 days.
00:00:54.220 He ran on a culture war conservative campaign, bucking the usual Beltway GOP talking points.
00:01:03.600 And from that shocking win, establishment Republicans have learned absolutely nothing.
00:01:10.600 I'm Michael Knowles.
00:01:11.560 This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:01:12.460 Before we get to Virginia, we've got some breaking news that just came out, and it actually centers
00:01:25.280 around the Daily Wire, and it will have effects for basically everybody in this country.
00:01:30.740 The Biden administration has just formalized its vaccine mandate rule.
00:01:37.520 You remember they announced it months ago, but that was basically a press release.
00:01:40.780 We didn't know when it was going to go into effect, what the rule is going to be.
00:01:44.600 They just dropped a 490-page rule.
00:01:47.540 This will require every company with more than 100 employees to force their employees to take
00:01:54.580 the Fauci-ouchie to violate either their religious conscience possibly, their medical prunence,
00:02:01.240 their own personal medical decisions, or they're basically threatening these businesses with
00:02:06.120 putting them out of business.
00:02:08.420 The Daily Wire is suing the Biden administration.
00:02:11.520 We have just moments ago filed a lawsuit.
00:02:14.340 This has gone in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.
00:02:19.240 We are absolutely not going to comply.
00:02:22.360 I will tell you that this legal fight that we have just launched is going to be extremely
00:02:27.580 expensive.
00:02:29.860 We don't care.
00:02:31.360 We're willing to risk it.
00:02:32.400 We've built a very powerful machine here.
00:02:33.980 We've built it thanks to you.
00:02:35.640 We do need your support now.
00:02:37.940 We need your support now more than ever before.
00:02:40.220 If you want to be in the fight, if this matters to you, if you don't think that the Biden
00:02:45.820 administration should be able to use this ridiculous workaround because they basically
00:02:51.740 admitted they don't have the authority to do this.
00:02:54.520 Joe Biden said on the campaign trail he wasn't going to be pushing vaccine mandates because
00:02:58.060 it was unpopular and almost certainly unconstitutional.
00:03:01.340 So what he did was this bizarre Byzantine workaround through the Occupational Safety and Health
00:03:06.440 Administration to get private businesses to do their dirty work for them, and they know
00:03:10.360 they're probably going to lose this in court, so they just want to force you to all get
00:03:13.520 it before the courts rule against them.
00:03:15.940 This is a very, very difficult, very expensive fight.
00:03:19.000 It is thug tactics from a thug, crooked administration.
00:03:23.080 We're not going to take it lying down, but we do need your support now more than ever.
00:03:26.960 If you want to be in the fight with us, I strongly suggest you do.
00:03:32.540 This is the time to stand up, people.
00:03:34.720 Go to dailywire.com slash subscribe.
00:03:37.180 Use code DO NOT COMPLY.
00:03:39.600 Jeremy Boring has this to say about it.
00:03:42.080 Again, this is just coming out from the press release.
00:03:44.360 The Daily Wire will not comply with President Biden's tyrannical vaccine mandate.
00:03:47.980 We are suing the Biden administration to put a stop to their gross overreach.
00:03:51.760 President Biden, the federal government, social media, and the establishment media have
00:03:55.000 conspired to rob Americans of their freedoms in the name of public health.
00:03:59.000 They have broken faith with the American people through conflicting messaging,
00:04:02.420 false information, and by suppressing data and perspectives with which they disagree.
00:04:08.020 We are working with Harmeet Dillon.
00:04:10.000 You may know Harmeet Dillon.
00:04:11.480 Very, very important.
00:04:12.920 Very good lawyer in this country.
00:04:14.600 She says, quote,
00:04:15.560 The federal government lacks the legal authority to compel private employers to play the role of
00:04:21.880 vaccine or COVID police, lack the police power to force private employees to undergo medical
00:04:27.500 treatment, and may not ignore constitutional limits on its ability to regulate every aspect
00:04:33.640 of our lives.
00:04:35.180 She goes on,
00:04:35.900 The Biden administration's attempt to impose this unprecedented and unlawful federal medical
00:04:40.940 mandate on the U.S. workforce without considering the public's views is arbitrary, capricious,
00:04:46.560 unsupported by the evidence, and would produce a willfully ignorant rule.
00:04:50.640 Willful ignorance would seem to be the theme for the Biden administration.
00:04:57.280 So right now, I mean, just this rule will affect 80 million workers or more, very possibly more
00:05:06.900 than that.
00:05:07.300 The Biden administration is not even pushing a constitutionally sound rule so much as they
00:05:15.080 are attempting to intimidate you to take a shot, an experimental shot, you know, a shot
00:05:22.280 that was just developed not that long ago, even against your own judgment for a virus that
00:05:29.600 for the vast majority of people does not pose a particularly grave threat.
00:05:35.040 This is it, folks.
00:05:36.580 You know, there is an expression that I really hate, but it comes up a lot, and the squishes
00:05:43.100 always bring it up.
00:05:44.040 They say, do you really want to die on this hill?
00:05:47.080 Oh, come on.
00:05:48.040 You really want to die on this hill?
00:05:50.060 This?
00:05:50.360 Come on.
00:05:50.700 Just give the left whatever they want, and then we'll die on the next hill.
00:05:54.500 You know, if you don't stand up on a hill, eventually you'll run out of hills to fight
00:05:58.260 on, and then it's over, and then the battle's over, and the fight's over.
00:06:01.840 And so we made it very clear from the moment that the Biden administration announced they
00:06:07.080 were going to do this, that we're not going to stand for it.
00:06:10.320 We are not going to go down without a fight.
00:06:13.340 We're very fortunate that we've built a strong platform here.
00:06:17.340 We have built a strong platform with a strong voice that is posing a real threat to the
00:06:21.960 Biden administration and to the liberal ruling class more broadly, and so we're going to
00:06:27.620 use it, and it's not going to be easy.
00:06:31.020 And I understand there are going to be a lot of companies that just kind of go along with
00:06:35.480 it, and they just don't want to have to deal with it, okay?
00:06:37.180 But we really believe this is the fight.
00:06:39.840 This is the kind of thing that we built this company for, okay?
00:06:44.040 And if we don't stand up here, we're not going to stand up for anything.
00:06:47.980 So we're going to do that, and we're going to put ourselves on the line, and we are going
00:06:50.960 to lead the fight, and we are going to sue the Biden administration, and we're going to
00:06:55.440 take these jerks and crooks and bullies and thugs to court, and we're going to take it as
00:07:01.520 far as it needs to go, and we need your support.

00:07:08.340 Code DO NOT COMPLY.
00:07:10.680 Do not let this moment pass without fighting back.
00:07:15.680 Do not tell your grandkids someday, oh, where was I during that big fight when the medical
00:07:21.920 technocratic liberal tyranny finally quashed the last little bit of freedom and tradition
00:07:28.180 we had in this country?
00:07:29.220 Oh, well, I was cowering in a corner.
00:07:31.660 Don't cower in a corner.
00:07:32.660 Stand with us.
00:07:33.820 Fight it.
00:07:34.420 We appreciate your support.
00:07:36.140 Back to Virginia.
00:07:36.960 My favorite comment yesterday is from Alejandra Fernandez, who says, my three-year-old is
00:07:42.320 listening to the podcast with me, and he started yelling, no more blah, blah, blah, after he
00:07:48.320 heard Greta Thunberg say it at the climate protest, and he keeps shouting it, I'm dead.
00:07:53.520 That is very meta.
00:07:55.000 That is a very meta, sophisticated, insightful, young three-year-old boy of yours, because there
00:08:02.000 is the blah, blah, blah going on at the climate conference, and then there is literally the
00:08:07.000 blah, blah, blah that Greta and her followers were saying about the climate conference, and
00:08:11.560 then there is the blah, blah, blah that your three-year-old is mocking.
00:08:15.680 It's all a whole lot of blah, blah, blah coming from the liberal establishment, which is probably
00:08:20.760 why our society is crumbling around us.
00:08:23.180 Inflation is through the roof, and when inflation is going up, it's a good idea to start looking
00:08:27.560 at physical gold, which is why I would strongly recommend you check out Acre.
00:08:32.000 Acre lets you start investing in physical gold for as little as $30 a month. Before you call me
00:08:39.060 a liar, before you tell me, Michael, gold, physical gold costs more than $30. I know it costs more
00:08:45.360 than $30. I know in the past it's been hard to invest in physical gold with the change in your
00:08:51.140 couch cushion. Acre has this ingenious way. You subscribe to their gold bars. When your gold stash
00:08:56.060 reaches the price of their gold bars, Acre will discreetly ship the gold to your house.
00:09:01.380 They've also got a new $100 a month subscription to a five gram gold bar. You don't need to come
00:09:06.880 out of pocket all at once to acquire meaningful gold over time. Visit getacregold.com slash
00:09:13.240 Knowles and start investing in physical gold today. Make sure you go to that URL because Acre is giving
00:09:17.920 away a gold bar to qualify for the giveaway. Tweet or post why you should be the recipient and mention
00:09:22.440 at get underscore Acre. That is getacregold.com slash Knowles. Thank you, Acre Gold, for supporting
00:09:27.500 the show. Republicans can't win for losing. They can't learn anything, seems to me. Major win in
00:09:37.060 Virginia. Major, major win on a very specific issue, education, on these real culture war type issues,
00:09:46.060 the crazy racial theories being pushed in schools, the crazy sexual theories being pushed in schools.
00:09:53.760 This lunatic, Terry McAuliffe, this thug saying parents have no rights to raise their kids.
00:10:00.120 And so here's the takeaway from the House GOP. This was the House Republican Establishment Twitter
00:10:05.780 account said, quote, and this is posting an article about Glenn Youngkin's win. Americans don't want
00:10:13.720 socialism. Pass it on. That race had nothing to do with socialism. Pass it on. Pass it on.
00:10:27.500 I hate socialism. I think socialism is a wicked confederacy, a pest, a plague that seeks to steal
00:10:34.660 the very gospel itself. I don't think any Christian can subscribe even to moderate socialism. I am now
00:10:40.540 just paraphrasing multiple popes. Socialism is a really, really bad thing. Not every bad thing
00:10:48.680 is socialism. It's like a square and a rectangle. All squares are rectangles. Not all rectangles are
00:10:57.020 squares. All of socialism is bad. Not all bad things are socialism. You think Terry McAuliffe is a
00:11:06.040 socialist? Terry McAuliffe is a corrupt corporate Democrat. He's a Clinton apparatchik. He did not run
00:11:15.180 on socialism. The reason Glenn Youngkin beat him is not because of socialism. It's because of kooky
00:11:23.620 racial theories that the left was pushing. It's because of psychotic sexual theories that the left was
00:11:30.980 pushing. It's because of justice and the right to raise your kids. Socialism? No. Do you know why?
00:11:38.260 The reason the establishment GOP talks about socialism is because it's perfectly safe. It's
00:11:45.300 totally, it's just, it's economic, okay? And it's, you don't have to touch on any of those culture war
00:11:51.080 issues. No one's going to call you a racist or a sexist or a phobe or whatever for opposing socialism.
00:11:57.760 But it completely misses the point. It completely misses what time it is, which is what we can expect
00:12:04.160 from the establishment Republicans. It's pathetic though. I don't know who wrote that tweet.
00:12:10.920 Probably just some social media staffer. But this is the opinion of many in the establishment who don't
00:12:16.580 want to talk about this stuff. Say, oh, if we talk about critical race theory, gosh, maybe some people,
00:12:21.320 people might call us racist. It won't be legit. It'll be total, but they might. And they call us sexist
00:12:26.680 or phobic if we talk about the trans issue. Let's not talk about the trans bathrooms.
00:12:31.760 Let's not talk about the curricula that teach three-year-old Johnny that he can really be Jane.
00:12:36.600 Let's not talk about the curricula now in schools across the country, and especially in Virginia,
00:12:40.660 that say that white people are born evil and they're irredeemably evil and racist and bigoted.
00:12:45.800 Let's not, let's just not touch that. Even though that's like the only thing that parents care about
00:12:50.200 and the only thing that motivated this young convictory. Let's just not, can we just please talk
00:12:54.960 about socialism? No. Socialism is not the point. And it's not what we're fighting against.
00:13:01.880 Yes, the horrible economic policies are bad. Yes, there are a handful of Democrats who call
00:13:07.300 themselves socialists and who openly embrace it. But what we're fighting against is a corrupt
00:13:12.060 liberal establishment, a techno, public health, bureaucratic, crooked establishment that is pushing
00:13:21.060 insane theories on people and taking your kids away. Focus on that. They're going to try to steal
00:13:29.500 the Youngkin victory. I'm not talking about the Democrats. I'm talking about the establishment
00:13:33.200 Republicans. They're going to try to steal it and say the way that we win in 2024 is by just running
00:13:38.880 Mitt Romney 3.0, 4.0. How many times has Romney run at this point? The way that we win is just by
00:13:43.900 talking about cutting corporate taxes. That's how we're, no, it's not. That's not how Youngkin won.
00:13:47.580 That's not how we're going to win. Contrary to popular cowardice, the way you're going to win,
00:13:54.700 the way you're going to sway the suburban voters, the suburban moms, and by the way, the way you're
00:14:00.460 going to sway racial minorities, the ones that you're going to win, the way you're going to sway
00:14:04.780 ordinary people is not by talking about corporate tax cuts. It's going to be by talking about our kids
00:14:11.220 and what the left is trying to do to our kids and the racial and sexual division they're pushing in
00:14:16.700 this country and the way they're upending, not just all of our American traditions and way of life,
00:14:21.000 but our, our very understanding of nature itself. Take a lesson, take a lesson house GOP. This is
00:14:27.540 tough love. I love you. You know, we're, we're in the same team and everything, but maybe pull out a
00:14:32.300 notebook and take a lesson. Here's, here's a great article I read. This is my favorite, single favorite
00:14:36.540 article from the Youngkin victory. I drove in this morning smoking a cigar. So I wanted to, I wanted to
00:14:42.440 keep the celebration going. It's like 30 degrees here when you're driving around Nashville. I don't
00:14:47.580 care. Windows down, smoking the cigar. Headline is the Daily Wire. Hold on. I've got to, I've got to
00:14:54.000 read this in a different way. Is the Daily Wire responsible for Glenn Youngkin's win?
00:15:01.820 Well, what if we are? Is the Daily Wire? Well, there's plenty of blame and credit to go around in
00:15:10.060 any election. Many believe the election came down to one thing, a Daily Wire story. So what if,
00:15:16.060 what if it did? I wish I still had my cigar on me. That's how, that's how cool I feel. That's how cool
00:15:23.320 I think a lot of us conservatives feel. Not, not because we pulled some dirty trick, but because we
00:15:28.920 exposed a real problem. There were multiple real problems going on in Virginia, specifically in
00:15:36.320 Loudoun County. And they were really big stories that the New York Times and the Washington Post
00:15:40.800 did not want to cover about kids being victimized in schools because of transgender policies,
00:15:46.260 or at least the coverup was because of transgender policies. About the kooky racial theories about all
00:15:53.420 of it. About Terry McAuliffe saying parents have no right to their kids' education.
00:15:57.160 And this is, this is the, my favorite part at the, at the end of the article. Oh look,
00:16:02.660 they quote me in the article. That's great. Glad they did. Many, this is the final line of the,
00:16:07.520 the whole piece. Many consider it unethical for media outlets to function as an apparatus of a
00:16:13.320 political campaign. First of all, the Daily Wire does not function as a, as a, an apparatus of any
00:16:19.760 political campaign. We do something that the left-wing media don't do. We actually just go report the
00:16:24.620 stories and tell the truth. But if it is unethical for media outlets to function as an apparatus of
00:16:30.960 political campaign, has someone considered telling CNN? Oh boy, someone should tell the New York Times
00:16:36.140 and the Washington Post and ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, PBS, NPR, all of them beyond the media. How about
00:16:45.480 Facebook? How about Twitter? How about Google? Which especially during 2020 intervened in,
00:16:51.820 in, in unprecedented ways to suppress bad news for Democrats and to promote bad news, even if it was
00:16:59.900 fake news for Republicans? Yes. I think there, there is, look, I don't want Daily Wire to take all the
00:17:06.320 credit for this. Okay. Obviously Glenn Youngkin ran a really good, really sophisticated campaign.
00:17:10.480 Chris Rufo, for instance, set the stage on this education issue by, by really exposing people
00:17:16.120 to critical race theory. Uh, the native Virginian, Matt Walsh, uh, you know, went to his school board
00:17:22.600 in his state Commonwealth because he's a native Virginian. The parents are the ones, the parents
00:17:28.180 really did the yeoman's work. They're the ones who showed up to these school boards, right? We covered
00:17:31.740 that story, but it was the parents who were leading the charge. It was the parents who made it a story,
00:17:37.300 who, who refused to let these guys off the hook and the libs could not be angrier about it.
00:17:47.100 There's a lesson here. The lesson is not that we need to keep running against socialism. Yeah. Run
00:17:51.380 against socialism when socialism is on the ballot, but don't pretend that every bad thing is socialism.
00:17:56.860 We need to just keep running on tax cuts and being really nice. No, no, that's not what happened.
00:18:01.440 That's not how Youngkin won. You want the lesson for 2022? You want the lesson for 2024?
00:18:06.100 2024? Yeah. Talk about the bad economy. Yeah. Talk about the crazy COVID lockdowns. Yeah. Talk
00:18:10.760 about all of that, but focus on things that matter to people. I look, I'd like low taxes. I do. I
00:18:17.580 don't, I don't want my taxes to go up. I hate giving more money to the government, but if you told me,
00:18:22.100 okay, Michael, government's doing two things right now, they're going to raise your taxes a little bit
00:18:24.880 and they're also going to pervert your child. It's not even close. It's not, I don't, who cares about
00:18:31.740 the dollars and cents, man. We're talking about not only the person that I am most interested
00:18:38.840 in his future, but we're talking about the future of the country. Okay. Focus on the things that
00:18:46.160 matter. Grow a spine, Republicans. They don't see it. Maybe it's because there's all this horrible
00:18:55.540 blue light coming off of their screens. Well, if you want to block out that blue light,
00:18:58.560 I strongly recommend you check out blue blocks. Blue light hurts your head. Okay. I don't know
00:19:03.300 how to put it any more simply than that. I didn't really believe this a few years ago when, when a
00:19:07.080 friend of mine first informed me of this. I said, oh no, it's not a big deal, whatever. And then when
00:19:11.480 you start blocking out that blue light, your eye strain goes way down. You can find yourself having

00:20:27.160 left is wringing their hands and rending their garments or gnashing their teeth over the Yunkin
00:20:31.240 victory in Virginia. Someone, another left-wing blue check, Sahil Kapoor goes, the story of tonight,
00:20:40.600 McAuliffe is running a bit ahead of Biden among non-white voters in Virginia. He's behind a few
00:20:44.940 with white men, but he's getting clobbered by white women. White women. And then Jameel Hill
00:20:54.040 responds. She goes, white women reporting for duty. They did this in 2016. I said the white women,
00:21:00.800 they did this in 2018, especially with the Stacey Abrams. The white women didn't show up
00:21:04.660 for the Democrats. Like they're supposed to, we own those white women. They didn't show up.
00:21:08.260 Hate those white women. They're so, they're so white. Ah, evil. And white. And they're, ah,
00:21:16.680 they're just stopping progress. They're terrorists. They're insurrectionists. They're a threat to our
00:21:20.320 democracy. My response to Sahil Kapoor, Jameel Hill, all of the libs right now who are focusing all of
00:21:29.340 their ire on white suburban women. Keep it up. Oh, please keep it up. Please. Jameel, I want you to
00:21:38.880 run on this. I want all the libs to run on this in 2022 and 2024. Vote for us. We hate white women.
00:21:48.160 Vote for us or else you're a racist. Vote for us. You're an evil insurrectionist. You awful white
00:21:53.940 people. Please run on this. Please. Please. Didn't work out very well for you this time in Virginia,
00:22:01.960 did it? The racial hatred that you are ginning up didn't work out very well for you, did it?
00:22:10.600 In a blue state. So how's that going to work out in the midterms? How's that going to work out in
00:22:17.320 2020? I think that'll work out very well for us because the idiot establishment Republicans,
00:22:22.440 they're going to run the worst campaigns you can imagine. They are. They're going to run on,
00:22:26.500 mark my words, they're going to run on socialism. It's socialism. Okay. So they're going to try to
00:22:32.180 lose it basically. They're not going to really, but they're going to do everything in their power
00:22:35.560 to clutch defeat from the jaws of victory. So we're relying on you, Jameel. We're relying on you,
00:22:41.140 Democrats. Please make this about pushing vicious racial theories and insane sexual theories.
00:22:51.880 Make this about taking our kids away. Please. I beg you. It's going to make Virginia look like
00:22:57.140 child's play. And it comes down to education because we view education in this narrow way of
00:23:03.780 your reading, writing, and arithmetic in the classroom, but education is so much more.
00:23:08.180 This is why since at least the 1960s, the left has been marching on all the political offices,
00:23:13.960 marching on all the centers of political power, but they've also been really marching on the English
00:23:18.520 department, right? They've been marching on the classrooms. Why did they make such a focus
00:23:23.840 about taking over the universities and the high schools and the middle schools and the elementary
00:23:28.320 schools? Because they know that campuses and classrooms are a crystal ball. They're a crystal
00:23:34.120 ball. They tell you what your country is going to look like in 20 years, right? They focus on these
00:23:39.740 impressionable young minds because education is about making citizens. It's about giving us a certain
00:23:46.340 understanding of our freedom. So if they can control that, they're going to control the country within
00:23:50.160 a generation. That's what they have done. This is why critical race theory, the way that history is
00:23:55.860 taught, the way really that everything is taught is such a focus of theirs. Sonny Hauston, who is one of
00:24:02.840 the cackling hens on the view, Sonny Hauston came out and said the CRT thing is really tough.
00:24:10.120 The Democrats need to defend CRT and she's just sorry if white kids feel a little bad about learning
00:24:17.140 about systemic racism. Now the message is that white parents are being ignored when they complain
00:24:22.480 that their children are uncomfortable learning about racism, that their white children don't want
00:24:27.680 to be uncomfortable. Well, let me tell you something. Black kids around this country are stigmatized and
00:24:33.440 are made to feel uncomfortable every single day. And I don't think it's too much to ask white parents
00:24:39.560 to allow their children to learn about the very real history in this country that is still very
00:24:45.680 prevalent, the systemic racism that is still very prevalent in our country. What is so wrong with
00:24:51.560 learning the real history of our country? Let me take it into a, you know, and I'm sorry if little
00:24:58.040 white kids feel a little uncomfortable when they learn about it. So this is the left's line. They keep
00:25:05.460 going back and forth. They keep saying CRT isn't real or CRT is only being taught at Harvard Law
00:25:12.020 School, but it's not taught anywhere else. And then when that doesn't work, they say actually CRT is
00:25:16.520 being taught everywhere and it's really good. And CRT is just about teaching the real history of
00:25:20.600 slavery. Let me ask you something. When you went to school, assuming you're not, I know this audience
00:25:26.880 has a huge age gap, you know, so there's, or a huge age range. So there are some people who are 12
00:25:31.520 years old listening to this show. There's some people who are 82 years old. For the people who
00:25:35.240 are at the middle to older end of that age range before critical race theory came around, did you
00:25:40.980 learn about slavery? Did you learn about slavery in the classroom? I bet you did. Did you learn about
00:25:46.540 the Civil War? Did you learn about Jim Crow? Did you learn about Reconstruction? Did you learn about
00:25:51.500 civil rights? Yeah, of course you did. Of course you did. Learning about the history of slavery is not the
00:25:58.180 same as critical race theory. Critical race theory is an analytical framework developed by Marxists,
00:26:02.980 explicitly by Marxists, a derivation of critical theory, which I write about at great length in my book
00:26:08.560 Speechless, that views America as intrinsically unjust, that views white supremacy as the defining
00:26:17.640 characteristic of America that affects and pervades every aspect of life, that views even our most basic
00:26:24.540 economic system as a product of white supremacy, which is why it all needs to be ripped out root
00:26:29.720 and branch. That's critical race theory. That's very different than learning about, hey, there was
00:26:35.200 a slave trade. Actually, there was a slave trade in Africa that then Western colonists began to
00:26:40.920 participate in, and that existed in America for a certain period of time, and actually much less time
00:26:46.440 than it did virtually anywhere else in the world. And actually outside of the West,
00:26:49.240 slavery continues to exist. It predated slavery in the West, or it was at least coterminous,
00:26:57.720 and it has existed long after slavery in the West. Okay, the problem is not kids learning about
00:27:04.100 the truth about our history. It's that CRT is teaching them falsehoods about our history,
00:27:09.300 and it's teaching them falsehoods about systemic racism. You remember Ibram Kendi, the Mac Daddy
00:27:15.320 hustler of CRT today, and these racial theories. Ibram Kendi had to delete his tweet because he
00:27:22.720 realized his tweet a couple days ago undermined his entire thesis. He said there were a bunch of white
00:27:28.260 kids who lied about their race on their college applications and pretended to be black or Native
00:27:32.960 American, and they had an easier time getting into schools. And so he had to delete that because he
00:27:37.320 said, oh crap, I just totally undermined my theory. There is systemic racism. There's legal racism in this
00:27:44.620 country, but it's not the kind that Sonny Hostin thinks it is. There is legal racism in this country
00:27:50.840 against white people and Asian people when they apply to college and jobs. It's called affirmative
00:27:57.400 action. Now you might say, we support affirmative action. We support that racial discrimination to
00:28:02.760 make up for whatever grievance there was in the past. Okay, fine. Well then be honest about that view,
00:28:07.960 but don't tell me that the legal racism in this country and racial discrimination is against
00:28:14.140 black and Native American people. It's not. The legal racial discrimination is in favor of black
00:28:20.540 and Native American and other people, and it is against white people and for whatever reason, Asian
00:28:26.020 people. Okay. Now you might say, well, that's just the legal racism, but there's a broader issue of
00:28:33.620 systemic racism. This is what Ibram Kendi tried to do when he was doing damage control for his whole
00:28:37.760 theory falling apart. He said, well, but there are, there are disparities of outcomes between white
00:28:43.300 people in America and black people and Hispanic people and Asian people and Native American people.
00:28:47.920 And so the only explanation for those disparities of outcomes is that white supremacy is, is keeping,
00:28:54.940 keeping the black man and other people down. That's not, of course, that's not the only explanation.
00:29:00.440 Here's a simple, I mean, this is the most basic one that, that I think is pretty undeniable.
00:29:04.400 Fatherlessness. Fatherlessness is a big predictor of your outcomes in life. And right now, 70% plus of
00:29:13.880 black babies in America are born out of wedlock. That's, that would be one explanation. Decisions in
00:29:21.380 certain communities, culture in certain communities, that would be another one. There are other factors
00:29:28.200 too. I'm not even, look, I'm a conservative. I'm not even denying that history has an impact on the
00:29:34.080 present. I know some people try to pretend that history doesn't matter at all. Even some people
00:29:39.100 on the right, but I don't, I don't, I'm not saying that. What I am saying is this specific theory that
00:29:45.780 is being taught to kids of pervasive white supremacy and legal racism, it's just, it's just bogus.
00:29:51.520 Throw that away with the Easter bunny and the tooth fairy. Okay. That ain't real. And so we don't want
00:29:58.560 our kids learning lies in school. We want them learning the truth. We don't even want them
00:30:03.620 learning everything. You know, that that's kind of the middle ground here is let's just teach them
00:30:07.080 everything. Let's open up the curriculum. Let's just, and they can pick and they can choose. No,
00:30:11.220 we just, let's just teach them how to think, not what to think. No, you got to teach people what to
00:30:14.320 think. If you don't tell people what to think about this, civil war began in 1860. That's telling
00:30:19.620 people what to think. You got to teach them facts. Abraham Lincoln said this, he did this.
00:30:25.040 It's teaching them what to think. And only then can they know how to think about these broader
00:30:30.620 issues. And the problem right now is the left is teaching them what to think. And the things
00:30:34.420 they're teaching them what to think about are false. They're lies. And so it's perverting the way
00:30:38.740 that they come to think, how to think about the country. You know, the Daily Wire is doing everything
00:30:46.520 possible to bring you the truth every single day, especially with our recent foray into investigative
00:30:53.220 journalism. The talent of our journalists, like Luke Rosiak, who is being blamed and given credit
00:30:59.440 for the election in Virginia. This sort of stuff is really important. Okay. We watched that excellent
00:31:07.700 work, the work of journalists like Chris Ruffo affecting real change in the Virginia election,
00:31:13.140 which was a bloodbath. But investigative journalism is expensive, which is why so few media companies
00:31:17.900 do that work. This is also why we need your support. For as little as four bucks a month,

00:31:33.000 We'll be right back with a whole lot more. The left's racial grievance narrative is false.
00:31:50.520 That's why we want it out of the classroom. Not because we're afraid of our history, because it's
00:31:54.320 just patently absurd. Here's the most preposterous example of it in recent days. Colin Kaepernick,
00:32:01.800 you know, the whiny former football player who cashed in on racial grievance and made a gazillion
00:32:07.560 dollars doing it. Colin Kaepernick has a movie out that opens up on him comparing playing in the
00:32:15.800 National Football League to being a chattel slave. What they don't want you to understand
00:32:23.180 is what's being established is a power dynamic. Before they put you on the field, teams poke
00:32:31.160 pride and examine you, searching for any defect that might affect your performance. No boundary
00:32:36.920 respected. No dignity left intact.
00:32:42.680 Come on, boys. Look at that shape there. Look at this. Mr. Farmer, I got your bid. 30. James, 30 to you. 100. So, next one coming up, best one we got.
00:32:54.920 500. 500. 600. Right here. Look at this here. Come on. Who wants this? 700. There we go now. 1,000. 1,000. I'm telling you what I want here. I heard it too.
00:33:02.920 So. Okay, so you see all these football players transformed into chattel slaves in the
00:33:32.900 antebellum South. And the NFL, they're just like the slave owners. Slave auctions. Brings up a pretty
00:33:41.900 basic question. If the NFL is like an antebellum slave plantation, why has Colin Kaepernick spent the
00:33:51.600 last six, seven years begging them to take him back? If the NFL is slavery, then why has Colin Kaepernick
00:34:02.420 been begging to be a slave and whining when they don't want to enslave him? Did slaves in the
00:34:09.860 antebellum South, did they have multi-million dollar contracts? Did they spend their whole lives
00:34:15.920 training and just trying, desperate to be slaves on some plantation? I don't think so.
00:34:24.200 Now, what's funny, Colin Kaepernick opens up the movie and he's dressed like this sort of clown
00:34:31.320 version of Malcolm X, you know, like Marx observed, history repeats itself first. First is tragedy,
00:34:38.480 then is farce. We're in the farce portion of this sort of thing. What Colin Kaepernick is observing is
00:34:45.120 that for slaves and for football players, the primary thing that matters is your physical
00:34:55.300 health, right? For football players, it's a primarily physical job. There's a little mental
00:35:03.520 aspect to it too, a little bit of strategy, but it's mostly you just got to be big and strong and
00:35:07.380 fast and tough and well-coordinated. And so I guess that's true for physical laborers who were slaves.
00:35:14.160 I guess that's true for all sorts of physical laborers. And Colin Kaepernick's very offended by
00:35:19.620 this. Athletics is about physical excellence. Okay. And unfortunately, Colin Kaepernick was not
00:35:27.660 sufficiently excellent to remain in the football league for very long. Fine. Not everyone is.
00:35:34.200 Very, very few people are. If Colin Kaepernick is upset that he didn't pursue a more intellectual
00:35:39.600 field. You know, it may be he, he, he, he regrets being, uh, having a physical career. He wishes that
00:35:46.680 he were a paper pusher or something. He had a desk job. Well, okay. Then he should have spent his life
00:35:52.340 cultivating, cultivating his intellect, I guess. But he certainly, he certainly hasn't done that.
00:36:00.980 There are, there are many football players who are pretty intellectual, actually. Colin Kaepernick
00:36:04.520 is not, not one of them. And these theories are having serious ramifications for justice.
00:36:11.280 Story came out just the other day. A group of forensic anthropologists are now arguing that
00:36:17.460 trying to identify the race, the racial ancestry of skeletons is a terrible thing. And they are urging
00:36:24.820 their peers to stop doing the practice. So a forensic anthropologist is someone who looks at
00:36:31.760 a dead body, looks at skeletons, and comes to conclusions about the people that those skeletons
00:36:41.960 were, right? This is the height. This was the weight. This is the sex. This is, there's what
00:36:46.720 they looked like. And the point of forensic anthropologists is to give people, to give
00:36:51.740 investigators all of that information so that they can come to certain conclusions about how they
00:36:55.980 ended up as skeletons. But the woke forensic anthropologists say ancestry estimation contributes
00:37:03.280 to white supremacy. They say, they're, they're using critical race theory, by the way. They're
00:37:08.160 invoking critical race theory. They say that they, they need to continue to situate and contextualize
00:37:12.400 our challenge to the use of macromorphoscopic traits, you know, physical traits, as well as
00:37:19.060 introduced critiques of craniometric and dental morphological analysis, head size and teeth in
00:37:24.900 ancestry estimation. Don't you, how dare you come to racial conclusions about skeletons? What they're
00:37:34.580 upset about is that different races of people look different. Now it's a fact, right? Anyone with eyes
00:37:45.200 can tell that different races of people look different. This is important, by the way, if you're
00:37:50.120 trying to figure out who got murdered, who murdered who, you know, to come to conclusions about criminal
00:37:55.620 justice. But this is very bad because then we're suggesting that, that then the races have some
00:38:01.880 physical differences. Obviously it's absurd, but it gets to a, a real difference in, in strategy here.
00:38:11.080 We all want a flourishing just society. The left wants to get to a flourishing just society
00:38:19.920 by denying reality. The right wants to get to a flourishing and just society by dealing with
00:38:28.240 reality and grappling with reality and trying, and not denying truths, even if they're politically
00:38:32.920 incorrect and inconvenient. The left thinks the way that we're going to deal with racial problems
00:38:38.880 is by denying that they exist, is by denying that, on the one hand, denying that race exists at all.
00:38:46.840 And then on the other hand, exclusively focusing on race, but only when it's conducive to their
00:38:50.800 argument. That's not going to work. There was a, one of the forensic anthropologists, San Jose State
00:38:56.900 anthropologist Elizabeth Weiss said, quote, if forensic anthropologists abandon determining race,
00:39:02.080 then they are going to be doing victims and their families a big disservice and are basically
00:39:06.780 engaging in a dereliction of duty. Right. But what the woke people are going to say is, yeah, but it's
00:39:10.600 worth it. Yeah, it's too bad. Victims of crimes and their families are, unfortunately, they're not
00:39:15.980 going to have justice, but at least then we can keep our head in the sand and deny these problems.
00:39:21.340 I don't think that's going to help anybody. I think that's not very compassionate. I think it's going to
00:39:25.040 make problems worse. Speaking of things to pretend to be offended by, a NASCAR driver
00:39:30.740 is in a lot of trouble. There's this NASCAR driver. This NASCAR driver came out and he used a word
00:39:41.160 you're not allowed to say. Take a listen. Well, he drills my ass coming out of four for no reason.
00:39:45.600 I mean, where was he going? What was he going to do? Spin me out? He was trying to do a Harvick
00:39:49.080 is what he was trying to do. For what? For second place? To do what? He wasn't going to transfer
00:39:53.560 through with that. Just freaking retarded, man. So stupid. I don't understand these guys.
00:39:59.700 I should beat the shit out of them right now is what I should do, but that doesn't do me any good
00:40:02.860 either. And then I've already had to pay enough fines in my lifetime. I'm sure I'll get another
00:40:12.000 one. Spoken like a true NASCAR driver, really blunt, really direct. He didn't get in trouble for
00:40:18.520 saying, I'm going to go beat the S-H-I-T out of somebody. No, that's fine. Talking about how he's
00:40:24.420 going to go beat somebody up, that's totally fine. But he said a word you're not allowed to say. He
00:40:27.940 said the word retarded. That's the R word some people are now calling it. Because he was saying
00:40:35.980 this guy, he did something that was a little stupid, a little slow. He shouldn't have done that.
00:40:40.240 That was retarded and you're not allowed to say retarded anymore.
00:40:43.000 Why not? Why not? What does retarded mean? Retarded means slow. It's literally what the
00:40:51.340 word means. But we're not allowed to say that because some people are a little slower, right?
00:40:56.940 This is a fallen world. We've all got defects. We've all got problems. None of us is born
00:41:01.940 perfect. And so some people deal with that and that's a challenge in their lives.
00:41:07.880 What we're seeing play out right now is something called the euphemism treadmill. That's what the
00:41:15.360 Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker dubbed it. It's this idea that certain phrases and words will
00:41:24.460 change over time. And political correctness has really taken this to a sort of insane extreme
00:41:29.060 because the condition that they describe is undesirable or difficult or painful. And so you
00:41:35.520 just have to constantly paper over with a new euphemism. You see this especially with a mental
00:41:41.480 deficiency. So over the years, people with mental handicaps have been called simple, simpletons,
00:41:49.120 idiots. That was a clinical term. Moron, retarded, handicapped, handicapable. It's going to keep
00:41:59.280 changing. It's not going to help anybody. It's not going to fix anything to keep changing all of those
00:42:05.020 words, but it's going to keep creating all of these euphemisms so that we can ignore things.
00:42:13.860 For the left, what you say is much more important than what you do. The left around the West and in
00:42:24.740 this country as well, openly advocate killing retarded people in the womb. Iceland bragged a couple of years
00:42:32.640 ago. They said, we've eliminated Down syndrome. We've eradicated Down syndrome. They didn't find
00:42:38.600 a cure for Down syndrome. They just kill all the Down syndrome babies in the womb.
00:42:44.120 They will kill them. In this country, there are doctors who will, I guess most, if not all of the
00:42:51.340 doctors will say when you're pregnant, they'll say, okay, we're going to do a scan to see if your kid
00:42:55.780 has, and they'll use whatever euphemism. But what they're really saying is, we're going to scan to see if
00:42:59.200 your kid's retarded, and then if your kid's retarded, you can kill him if you want. This is ghastly. This
00:43:05.500 is ghastly stuff. So the conservative response to this is, one, I don't want you scanning to see if
00:43:11.760 my kid's retarded. I'm going to love my kid no matter how my kid turns out. If he's got six fingers
00:43:15.880 and 12 toes and has some mental handicap and looks, I don't care. I love my kid.
00:43:22.360 And the left, you know what the left is going to say to that? How dare you use the word retarded?
00:43:25.620 Say, you're going to kill him. What are you talking? I'm using a word to describe a reality.
00:43:29.200 And I want to love all of these people. But you're saying, no, no, don't say the word.
00:43:34.660 Don't describe the reality. But kill people that you don't like. Kill people who you find undesirable.
00:43:40.760 It's a very important lesson about political correctness. And really just for the left's
00:43:47.220 program broadly. What you say is much more important than what you do. Often what you say
00:43:52.120 is a way to excuse really evil, heinous actions. This is very offensive. This is very wrong.
00:43:59.060 Some left-wingers are waking up to this, by the way. Van Jones, who is a left-winger. He goes on
00:44:04.520 CNN all the time. I actually kind of get a kick out of Van Jones, especially because he got caught on a
00:44:08.700 hidden camera one time admitting early on in the Trump presidency, admitting that the Russia hoax was
00:44:14.300 a hoax and it was a nothing burger. And then he had to kind of walk it back because he didn't mean to
00:44:18.800 say that publicly. Van Jones just came out reacting to what happened in Virginia. And he said he fears,
00:44:26.480 hey, listen, fellow Democrats, I'm just putting this out there. I think we might be coming off
00:44:30.640 as a little annoying and a little out of touch. I think that the Democrats are coming across in
00:44:35.980 ways that we don't recognize, that are annoying and offensive and seem out of touch in ways that I
00:44:44.620 don't think show up in our feeds when we're looking at our kind of echo chamber. And I think
00:44:49.820 that this is a message here. Better late than never, Van. You're on a mission of mercy to your
00:44:55.920 fellow Democrats by telling them this because yes, they are coming off as annoying and offensive
00:45:02.080 and extremely out of touch. And in a way, it's not their fault. I mean, it is, you know, they did this.
00:45:10.740 They're responsible for their actions, but it's an easy trap to fall into. They are in their own echo
00:45:15.580 chamber. Not in the same way that we talk about political polarization and everyone, because of
00:45:20.580 social media, is only hearing from people they agree with. And no, it's because of a much bigger
00:45:24.460 social problem. The left controls everything, right? So if you're a right winger in this country,
00:45:30.560 no matter what kind of little tiny bubble you're in, and you only go to dailywire.com ever, and you
00:45:35.040 don't look at any other way, and you only talk to Republicans, even still, you will have to be
00:45:39.840 exposed to left-wing views. There's no way around it. It's like a fish in water, okay? It's just
00:45:46.300 all around. It's like the air that we breathe. Liberalism, leftism, progressivism, it's all there.
00:45:52.820 And so you look at a billboard, you see it. You look at a movie preview, you see it. You talk to
00:45:57.860 your friends and family, you see it. Okay? And you know what their arguments are. And you look on
00:46:04.340 big tech. I mean, you look at, you look in the schools, you look everywhere, you see it.
00:46:07.080 The left does not have that misfortune, but really that advantage. At a deeper level,
00:46:14.380 that advantage. Because the left has no clue what we think. And there have been social scientific
00:46:20.500 surveys to back up this idea. They have no clue what we think. They have no clue how they come across.
00:46:26.500 This is why they're always so shocked when they lose. That's why they don't really believe it when
00:46:30.500 they lose. Sometimes we don't believe it when we lose an election, like in 2020, when they changed all
00:46:35.700 the election rules right before the election. And then a bunch of ballots came in at three in the
00:46:38.760 morning. And I think we had some reason to question it. But generally when we lose, we accept it.
00:46:43.160 You know, 2012, we lost. You know, 2008, we lost. The left doesn't do that. They're still fighting the
00:46:47.380 2000 election, the 2018 gubernatorial election, the 2016 presidential election. They're still going to be
00:46:51.520 fighting this thing in Virginia. They don't, it just does not compute to them because they are almost
00:47:00.500 never exposed to what about half the country thinks. Van Jones referred to the annoying,
00:47:10.700 out of touch, offensive Democrats on, on CNN. One of them, one of the most prominent ones is his
00:47:18.660 colleague on CNN, Brian Stelter. Brian Stelter just went on a nine minute monologue about what Donald
00:47:28.920 Trump could possibly do over the next couple of years. I'm not going to subject you to all of it.
00:47:36.680 We don't have time on the show to get to get to all of this. I am going to punch in though,
00:47:41.340 right around the six and a half minute mark, okay, where he's just whipping himself up into a frenzy
00:47:45.940 of what Donald Trump is going to do if we don't stop him. Common ground erodes largely because there's
00:47:51.800 no common media ground anymore. It's as if America has been swallowed up by QAnon conspiracy theories.
00:48:01.160 Freedom of expression feels trampled, muffled. And remember, as all of this is happening,
00:48:06.760 as democracy deteriorates in 2024, Trump's enablers claim they are the ones protecting democracy.
00:48:13.800 They think, or at least they pretend, that they are upholding the Declaration of Independence.
00:48:18.160 They cloak their autocratic actions in the language of the founding fathers. They claim
00:48:23.000 to be the most patriotic Americans of them all. And this narrative is advanced 24 hours a day
00:48:28.040 by the ABC, the apps, the broadcasters, and the commentators who justify stomping all over the
00:48:34.000 Constitution as an attempt to save it. The country is on pins and needles. Landlords board up downtown
00:48:40.260 windows. Maybe looting starts. Shooting starts. I'm not saying that all of this will happen.
00:48:48.160 But I'm saying it could. We know it could happen because it has all happened before. Almost
00:48:53.620 everything I have described has already happened. It has. Brian, you're right. It has already happened
00:48:59.840 in one form or another. But I think you're getting the source of that problem a little wrong. I think
00:49:06.640 you might be engaging in what psychologists call projection. There is no neutral, you know,
00:49:13.620 middle ground media landscape anymore. There are lies that are being pervaded. They're pervading the
00:49:18.660 culture. Business owners are boarding up their windows. There's political violence in the streets.
00:49:24.820 Brian Stelter is pretending this could come from Republicans. It did come from Democrats on the media
00:49:31.160 front for the past 50 years, on the violence front for 2020, from BLM, from Antifa, not from Trump.
00:49:38.500 The so-called deadly insurrection didn't kill anybody. They pretended that the lying media said
00:49:43.820 that it killed Officer Brian Sicknick. It turned out that was a lie. New York Times and Washington
00:49:47.520 Post had to retract it. All of that violence came from the left. He doesn't see it. He says,
00:49:55.540 we're not, we can't even trust each other anymore. We delegitimize the opposition in Trump's future
00:50:00.820 America. In the rights media echo chamber growing ever more extreme, the words Democrats and
00:50:06.480 criminals are conflated constantly. So the other side loses legitimacy bit by bit by bit. The GOP
00:50:13.620 media is on board with this. They're on board with the power grab at all costs, driven by fear of a
00:50:19.320 changing country. Fear propelled by the likes of Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingram, who bring up things
00:50:24.980 like caravans right at key moments during the election. And all of this in 2022 helps the GOP regain
00:50:31.700 control of the House. Members of the January 6th edition caucus are now in control of the body
00:50:37.380 that completes the Electoral College process. Now, some Democrats fret about what's going to happen
00:50:42.600 in 2024. They worry if the insurrectionists will have the upper hand next time. But remember,
00:50:47.380 in Trump world, up is down and day is night. And Trump keeps saying the insurrection was Biden's
00:50:52.240 election. You know, in this horrible, scary future, the Republicans are going to delegitimize their
00:50:59.600 opposition and say that they have no right to participate in the democracy. And they're all
00:51:06.220 insurrectionists. And Brian, do you listen to yourself? Do you listen? He doesn't listen to
00:51:11.380 himself. Every single thing that he is accusing Republicans of doing and really predicting that
00:51:19.820 Republicans will do in the future. He himself is doing to his political opponents right now,
00:51:26.200 and he's not even aware of it. Jennifer Rubin, the former pretend conservative columnist, now she
00:51:31.040 basically admits she's a liberal columnist at the Washington Post. She tweeted out, quote,
00:51:35.520 I realize critics say Dems have gone too far left, but that does not compute. The agenda is very popular.
00:51:42.340 They simply haven't gotten over the finish line yet. Here it is. Here it is, folks.
00:51:45.940 I don't think she's being cynical here. I think she really believes this. I think the left really
00:51:53.160 believes this. Of course the agenda is popular. If something just went wrong, because the agenda
00:51:58.900 must be popular, because it is their agenda and it's progressive and they see the future and they
00:52:04.940 know the way to utopia and it's going to be great. And everyone knows it. So the only way that they can
00:52:11.280 lose an election is if something went wrong, there was a problem of understanding or interpretation,
00:52:17.580 or if there was fraud. This is why they can't concede elections. Sometimes Republicans don't
00:52:22.780 want to concede elections, especially when they upend all the rules right beforehand. But much more
00:52:28.120 often, it's the left that won't concede the elections because they can't, because they have to win.
00:52:33.820 The agenda, by definition, their agenda must be popular, no matter what the parents in Loudoun
00:52:38.400 County say. Some smart Republicans are seeing this situation for what it is. Someone down there
00:52:46.840 in Florida, like Governor Ron DeSantis, who is now embracing this popular revolt, not just against
00:52:52.420 one party, but really against kind of ruling class. He's embracing, let's go Brandon.
00:52:58.340 When you look at the Biden, the Brandon administration, in terms of what they're doing.
00:53:14.280 Do you know how that started? Like it was, and like, you know, you have the media,
00:53:20.280 their hand wringing over this. But, you know, it was at a NASCAR race and they're doing an interview
00:53:26.480 with a driver. I guess his name was Brandon. And the crowd starts chanting very colorful language
00:53:33.040 about Joe Biden. And it was obvious that that they were doing. And, you know, it is what
00:53:39.040 it is. First of all, they said way worse about Trump for four years. We know that.
00:53:44.380 But so they're chanting this. And so you have a reporter from NBC who knows that's what they're
00:53:50.420 saying. And she's trying to cover for Biden. So she says, yeah, they're chanting, let's go Brandon.
00:53:59.160 And that was a lie. And it was a lie. And so this chant, I think, has taken on a life of its own
00:54:05.220 because it exposes the dishonesty of these corporate reporters and what they do every day
00:54:12.140 to try to lie.
00:54:13.220 This is what DeSantis is getting that a lot of people don't get. Let's go Brandon is not
00:54:19.600 primarily about Joe Biden. They say F Joe Biden too, but it's not. The let's go Brandon chant is
00:54:25.380 not primarily making fun of Biden. It's making fun of the media because the media lied about the F Joe
00:54:29.700 Biden chant. And so now we're turning our ire on the media and on the whole establishment. And it's not
00:54:35.900 the socialist policies of Joe. It's not. It's about this whole blob. It's this ugly thing where Joe Biden
00:54:42.180 is a part of it, but it's much, much bigger than that. And that's why it's bringing in many more
00:54:46.160 people than just your average regular rock ribbed Republican. Learn the lessons, people. Learn the
00:54:52.900 lessons, establishment Republicans. This is a big opportunity. There is a big popular uprising right
00:54:58.060 now. Are we going to take that into 2022 and 2024 and actually do something and change the situation
00:55:03.960 in this country for the better? Or are we going to stay mired in the past? I'm Michael Knowles.
