Biden says George F. Floyd was a better man than Martin Luther King Jr. in terms of his impact on the world, but is it really true? Michael Knowles explains why the vice president is wrong.
00:14:53.260He was asked when he was testifying before Congress to disclose some of his, the details of his finances.
00:15:01.460And Dr. Fauci got very, very defensive.
00:15:04.280Yes or no, would you be willing to submit to Congress and the public a financial disclosure that includes your past and current investments?
00:15:12.620After all, your colleague, Dr. Walensky, and every member of Congress submits a financial disclosure that includes their investments.
00:15:23.460And Fauci just right away, he goes, he tries to, he's talking, he tries to remove that mask.
00:15:27.560He realizes that he hasn't turned the microphone.
00:15:29.500I don't understand why you're asking me that question.
00:15:31.500My financial disclosure is public knowledge and has been so for the last 37 years or so, 35 years that I've been directed.
00:15:40.680The big tech giants are doing an incredible job of keeping it from being public.
00:17:46.220Well, according to financial disclosures obtained by Open the Books, the federal government paid Fauci and his wife, who also works at NIH, $868,812 in combined income and benefits last year.
00:18:01.520In addition to their federal salaries, the Fauci household also received royalties and stipends totaling over $100,000, at least $113,298.
00:18:15.340And their investment accounts increased.
00:21:10.140It was a very simple joke, an innocuous joke, a dad joke.
00:21:14.200It's snowing, therefore, I don't know if I buy this global warming thing.
00:21:20.440I don't really buy global warming either, but not because it's snowing.
00:21:23.280We'll get to that in a little bit later.
00:21:26.060I, at the same time, sent out this tweet.
00:21:28.000I said, Knowles destroys snowflakes argument with facts and snowflakes.
00:21:34.360So I'm making a little joke about the sometimes sensationalist headlines that we here at the Daily Wire have pioneered on certain arguments and debates.
00:21:51.540The libs lost their minds over this tweet.
00:21:57.560They can't, my phone is exploding over this tweet because they took my simple overdone joke as my thesis on global warming and the scientific establishment.
00:22:15.640And so it's all of these humorless, very self-serious liberals who are responding now with all of their arguments about global warming.
00:22:25.060Now, one of the fun things to do when you make a joke about how the world's not really going to end in 10 years because of the sun monster or whatever they say is you say, look, it's snowing.
00:22:40.620Therefore, global warming is not real.
00:22:42.200And then the libs get really, really angry.
00:22:43.460And they say, no, you idiot, weather isn't climate.
00:22:47.600No, you idiot, it was really, it was really warm on Christmas Day.
00:22:51.480Someone actually responded to me, said it was really warm on Christmas Day and New Year's Day.
00:22:56.280And I responded to him and I said, yeah, but weather isn't climate.
00:23:00.360They said, but you just said, but right, but, but you just said.
00:23:03.300When the libs say weather isn't climate, what, the reason they say that is because some weather event or series of weather events has contradicted their global warming narrative.
00:23:15.260But then the minute that a weather event or a series of weather events seems to buttress their global warming narrative, let's say it's, there's a hot streak in the middle of the summer.
00:23:26.560They will point to that and they'll say, this is evidence of global warming.
00:23:30.700So it's, it's completely disingenuous when the libs do it because when weather, when weather is cold, that's, that's not, weather isn't climate.
00:23:38.720And when weather is hot, that is climate and that is evidence of global warming.
00:23:45.680So anyway, it's a little funny, silly little game.
00:23:48.040The only reason I bring this up is because, not because of global warming or, or whatever.
00:23:54.000The reasons to be skeptical of global warming is because major apocalyptic scientific predictions that have been made, even within just the last 50 years, have all turned out to be completely bogus.
00:24:02.440Namely, global cooling, which was a very serious scientific thesis in the 1970s.
00:24:07.040And it turned out to be at, at best, the opposite of true because now they're all pushing global warming.
00:24:15.440Overpopulation, Paul Ehrlich, a fetid scientist, still remains a lauded scientist on the left.
00:24:20.820He said that within 10 years of 1970, there would be mass famines because of overpopulation.
00:24:28.600We need to coerce contraception and abortion if need be.
00:24:32.300And even then, it wouldn't stop the famines, but it might mitigate it a little bit.
00:24:36.520So these policies were adopted in India, in China, sterilizing poor people, killing babies, horrific, a genocide is what resulted from this.
00:24:45.900Nevertheless, the global population doubled malnutrition at an all-time low.
00:24:48.800So the reason I'm skeptical of the doomsday predictions, the world's going to end in 12 years, is because none of that ever comes true and it's just preposterous.
00:24:55.720But the reason I bring up the story is actually nothing to do with global warming or climate change or whatever.
00:25:01.680It's that the left has no idea what we think.
00:25:05.180The left really believes that the right wing's skepticism of the global warming apocalypse amounts to, duh, it's snowing outside, no global warming.
00:25:15.800They think that a simple joke that we're making is our actual argument because they probably don't know very many conservatives, if any.
00:25:22.920And the only understanding they have of the conservative point of view is some caricature that they're given on CNN and MSNBC.
00:32:35.360This is just a complete lie that Kristi Noem and her political machine are trying to put out there to backtrack from her biggest political misstep yet.
00:32:47.520Namely, that Kristi Noem did back down when it came to defending girls sports.
00:32:51.700What happened was Kristi Noem was given a bill to defend girls sports and to prevent men from competing in girls sports by her legislature.
00:33:03.420And she said she was really excited to sign it.
00:33:53.840I want people to go from being wrong to being right.
00:33:56.060And I don't want to punish them for changing their mind in the right direction.
00:33:58.900But I really don't like being lied to.
00:34:01.700And I don't like being lied to by Democrat politicians.
00:34:04.420And I really don't like being lied to by Republican politicians.
00:34:07.320And what Kristi Noem is doing right here is lying to us and trying to pretend that history is different than it was and her record is different than it was.
00:34:15.720And that makes me even less likely to trust her.
00:34:18.960I was already skeptical of trusting her because she was wrong on a very basic issue.
00:34:22.700Namely, are men, women, and women, men.
00:34:29.560So now I have really no reason to trust her.
00:34:31.420The only reason that anyone even started talking about this woman as a potential presidential candidate is because she stood firm during COVID and didn't lock down her state.
00:34:40.280That was the reputation she got at least.
00:34:41.960But my friend John Schweppe from the American Principles Project, I think, was the first to dig up the fact that Kristi Noem actually did not originally stand firm against the lockdowns.
00:34:55.180It was the South Dakota legislature that stood firm against the lockdowns.
00:34:59.620Kristi Noem was inclined to institute certain lockdown measures in her state.
00:35:04.020But the legislators prevented her from doing that, as even she admits.
00:35:08.300We will be using appropriate enforcement measures as necessary that I do have at my disposal.
00:35:13.940But we have not run into an incidence yet where that's been necessary.
00:35:17.820I think the question was who specifically would enact that enforcement?
00:35:24.160It would be, it's in my executive order.
00:35:26.620So I would expect that if there's enforcement action to be taken, it would be mine.
00:35:30.380And the follow-up then, what's the penalty for someone in Lincoln or Minnehaha County who is over 65 who has a chronic illness or doesn't comply?
00:35:38.080We will deal with that when it is necessary.
00:35:40.460We did have a bill that came before the legislature last week that we talked about some enforcement mechanisms we wanted to give to the secretary of the Department of Health.
00:35:50.140The legislature did not support that bill.
00:35:52.940Therefore, that is not a tool that we have available to us today.
00:35:57.280A lot of people haven't heard that clip.
00:35:59.360But what she says there right at the end is crucial.
00:36:02.320She says, look, we had a bill go up before the legislature to try to give us, us, the people who want to enforce the mandates.
00:36:11.040The ability to enforce certain lockdown measures.
00:36:14.320And it was going to give the secretary of health special powers to do that.
00:36:18.340But unfortunately, the legislature shot it down.
00:36:21.440So we, she's putting herself on the side of the people who would enforce the lockdown measures.
00:36:26.360Not the people who are opposing the lockdown measures like some Republican governors have done.
00:36:29.660But she says, no, we, yeah, we, we wanted to be able to institute those lockdown measures.
00:36:44.580And her two achievements that she's touting, one, that she didn't lock down her state, and two, that she defended girls' sports, she did reluctantly.
00:36:52.420She was dragged kicking and screaming into those positions.
00:36:54.620So, she's a moderate Republican at best.
00:36:59.280And yet, she is trying to reposition herself as a conservative.
00:37:17.780Because what it means is, looking ahead to 2022 and then especially to 2024, the candidates who want to be taken seriously are going to have to adopt rather right-wing, rather conservative positions.
00:37:32.840Culturally conservative positions, not even just cut taxes and leave me alone.
00:37:39.240We're going to stop woke corporations from enforcing certain measures.
00:37:43.400We're going to keep your churches open.
00:37:46.100We're going to resist the scientific genius experts.
00:37:48.700We're going to resist the administrative government.
00:37:51.340You know, strong conservative positions, even if they don't believe it, as one wonders about Kristi Noem.
00:37:58.840Does she really believe these conservative positions she's now espousing?
00:38:01.660Whether she does or not, I don't really care.
00:38:04.620The fact that that's where the pressure is, is very good news for the Republican Party and the conservative movement.
00:38:09.700The days of the just-cut-taxes GOP are over.
00:38:14.360They're over, not because the conservatives have gone crazy and we've lost our minds and we're running into this radicalism.
00:38:21.260The reason that the GOP is leaning more into cultural issues right now is because the liberals are making our kids chant prayers to Aztec human sacrifice demons in school.
00:38:42.500The libs are actually making our children chant prayers to Aztec cannibal demons in public schools.
00:38:53.520Or at least they were until the state of California stopped doing it.
00:38:58.680Following a lawsuit from parents, the state of California has permanently removed what is called the in-lock-eck affirmation from the state curriculum.
00:39:08.260The in-lock-eck affirmation forced students to chant prayers to the Aztec demon of human sacrifice to become warriors for social justice.
00:39:24.960Reality is stranger than fiction these days.
00:39:27.280The demon that they were chanting to is Tezcatlipoca.
00:39:31.700He is the Aztec demon of human sacrifice and cannibalism, among other things.
00:39:35.740This was part of the mandatory new ethnic studies curriculum.
00:39:39.260Now it starts to make a little bit more sense.
00:39:41.820Because the ethnic studies curriculum pushes this idea that white Christians bad every other racial and religious group good.
00:39:54.600White Christians are accused in this curriculum of committing theocide, killing God or a God,
00:40:01.960against the indigenous peoples, murdering their gods and replacing them with the true God, the God of the Bible.
00:40:10.940And in fairness to the ethnic studies curriculum, that is what happened.
00:40:15.900Christian civilization came to the New World.
00:40:19.920Hernan Cortes specifically arrived and discovered the Aztec Empire.
00:40:24.240And he conquered it and he banished the demons that they were worshipping and he brought Christianity to that place.
00:40:33.720And that is one of the greatest political achievements in the history of the world.
00:40:38.660The Aztec Empire is one of the most evil political bodies that has ever existed.
00:40:43.280They would regularly sacrifice all sorts of humans by ripping out their hearts.
00:40:50.340They're still beating hearts from their chests and then kicking them down one of their pyramids, one of their pyramid-like structures.
00:40:58.120At the consecration of the Temple of Tenochtitlan, an estimated 80,000 people were sacrificed in this way in the course of four days.
00:41:06.960The Aztecs believed that the sacrifice of innocent children in particular was pleasing to the demons that they worshipped and would give them more rain for their crops.
00:41:17.540And so they would sacrifice the children.
00:41:19.280They believed that the tears of little children were particularly pleasing.
00:41:23.520And so they would make sure to torture the children in the most heinous ways that we have detailed accounts of that I'm not going to recount for you on this show because they're so horrifying you won't sleep at night.
00:41:34.320Now, that's what they did en masse by the tens of thousands to appease the demons that the liberals wanted your children to pray to because of how awful Christian civilization is.
00:42:12.980Who's to say that one God is better than any other God?
00:42:15.260Who's to say that one religion is better than any other religion?
00:42:17.680You're delving into some pretty murky territory here, Buster.
00:42:20.180What happened to the separation of church and state?
00:42:22.100What's so bad about chanting to the demon God if we're also going to teach certain principles that come from the Bible?
00:42:28.900Are you seriously telling me you're going to privilege Christianity over the demon worship in the new world?
00:42:37.600What does that imply if we are willing to do that?
00:42:40.700There's a big political fight going on in a Maryland school district.
00:42:45.760Conservative Maryland school district, Carroll County, it's divided on a question of whether or not we should kick politics out of the classroom.
00:42:56.060The policy was proposed in July of last year.
00:42:58.600It would revise an existing rule on employee political activities by saying that Carroll County public school staff, quote,
00:43:05.480should avoid discussion of political issues parties and candidates during classroom instruction unless those discussions align with the approved curriculum.
00:43:12.840And this is being pushed by conservatives to stop the left from trying to indoctrinate kids into radicalism and have them chant to Aztec demons.
00:43:37.640If you teach kids to worship the Aztec demon, you are implicitly, at least, sometimes explicitly, teaching them not to worship God.
00:43:49.540If you're teaching them that human sacrifice is good, which is implicit in praying to the Aztec demon God,
00:43:57.760then you are teaching them that stopping human sacrifice, as the God of the Bible demands, is bad.
00:44:05.920If you are teaching them that it is good to follow one heinous code of morality, then you are telling them that it is bad to follow the good, true code of morality.
00:44:22.260You can't just remain neutral on everything.
00:44:25.300This issue came up because another state legislator got in trouble for saying that we need to remain neutral on teaching communism and fascism and Nazism.
00:45:34.960It doesn't check how you use grammar or punctuation.
00:45:38.620It checks age bias, cultural bias, ethnic slurs, gender bias, gender neutral pronouns, gender specific language, racial bias, sexual orientation bias, and socioeconomic bias.
00:45:48.040So if you type in Mrs. Thatcher, referring to the Iron Lady, Mrs. Thatcher did this in Great Britain, it will suggest that you change it to Ms. Thatcher.
00:45:59.300I suspect Maggie Thatcher is rolling in her grave at the very thought.
00:46:02.220If you type in the phrase uttered by Neil Armstrong as he took the first step onto the moon, one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind, it will suggest you change it to humankind.
00:46:24.660We have to change the first words on the moon.
00:46:26.340When you switch this tool on, the spelling mistakes are underlined in red, the grammar errors are underlined in blue, and inclusiveness issues are underlined in purple.
00:46:40.020You might remember some months ago, Microsoft held a conference, and they opened the conference by engaging in the liberal liturgy of pretty much any woke trope you can find.
00:46:51.440They threw in everything but the kitchen sink.
00:46:53.440Hello, and welcome to Microsoft Ignite.
00:46:58.700We've got a big day ahead and lots in store for you.
00:47:02.980First, we want to acknowledge that the land where the Microsoft campus is situated was traditionally occupied by the Sammamish, the Duwamish, the Snoqualmie, the Suquamish, the Muckleshoot, the Snohomish, the Tulalip,
00:47:19.480and other Coast Salish peoples since time immemorial, a people that are still here, continuing to honor and bring to light their ancient heritage.
00:49:44.840Those are very powerful political interests.
00:49:46.980And it is incumbent on any serious conservative who wants to maintain something resembling the traditional American way of life to fight back against all of it.
