Ep. 930 -  Kamala Harris Discards White Guys


Summary

Kamala Harris and the rest of the liberal establishment believe that only one group should be considered the most vulnerable to human trafficking: straight white dudes. Does that make them the only non-vulnerable group? And why does that matter?


Transcript

00:00:00.000 During a joint address with Secretary of State Antony Blinken on human trafficking,
00:00:04.780 Kamala Harris articulated her theory of which groups should be considered the most vulnerable.
00:00:11.180 We are focused on the most vulnerable. And based on my experience, the most vulnerable
00:00:17.300 are women and girls, racial and ethnic minorities, LGBTQI plus people,
00:00:24.440 indigenous people, people with disabilities, migrants, and children in the foster care system.
00:00:33.740 When we identify who is most vulnerable, we can tailor our tactics and improve our strategy.
00:00:41.980 So according to Kamala Harris, every single person on the face of the earth is vulnerable to human
00:00:49.520 trafficking except for me. I am the only one. It's not. Straight white dudes who know that they
00:00:58.880 are dudes are, according to Kamala Harris and the rest of the liberal establishment, by the way,
00:01:04.460 the only non-vulnerable group on earth. Which got me thinking. When every power structure in the
00:01:14.480 country says that only one group is invulnerable and therefore unworthy of protection. Doesn't that
00:01:22.100 make that group the most vulnerable group? I'm ostensibly male, definitely straight,
00:01:28.680 and arguably white. And this is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:01:31.440 Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment yesterday is from Stray Dog, who says,
00:01:43.740 a few hundred years ago, Tom Hanks would be the guy wearing a funny hat while juggling to entertain
00:01:49.040 the king. A few hundred years ago. I agree with your comment, except for that few hundred years ago
00:01:55.840 point. Tom Hanks and all of Hollywood are still doing the same role that they would have been doing
00:02:02.640 200 years ago, 300 years ago, a thousand years ago. They are the jesters in the court. They serve the
00:02:10.240 power. They serve at the pleasure of the king. And when the king calls in a favor and says, hey, Tom Hanks,
00:02:17.020 make me a commercial that makes me look good. You know that that jester is going to dance. That's just
00:02:22.420 the way it works. And Biden needs it right now because among other problems, gas is going through
00:02:27.140 the roof, which is why you need to check out GetUpside. How would you feel if you could get 25

00:03:32.300 Knowles. It is not just straight white men who know that they are men who are catching the brunt of
00:03:39.800 woke politics these days, although we are being insulted and discriminated against and maligned
00:03:49.480 by all the people in power. But it's not just those white dudes. It's also black guys who have
00:03:57.300 the audacity to buck the prevailing political orthodoxies. There is an incredible video going
00:04:03.640 around of a black guy in an elevator who is standing next to a couple of white women of a
00:04:12.320 certain age, and he's not wearing his mask because he's not brainwashed. He's not hypnotized. He knows
00:04:18.680 that there's more to life than masking yourself up like a bandito to avoid a cough. And so he's in
00:04:24.540 there, and these women start screaming at him and hitting him, actually, all while yelling,
00:04:30.100 black lives matter. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. What you guys doing? Get out. What
00:04:36.680 you guys doing? Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Do the I'm not touching you.
00:04:42.800 Get out. I'm not touching you. Hit me. Did you just hit me? You just hit me. You just hit me.
00:04:49.220 Yo, this is race.
00:04:50.940 Wow.
00:04:51.460 Get out, Black Lives Matter.
00:04:52.760 Black Lives Matter.
00:04:53.480 Black Lives Matter.
00:04:54.520 Stop.
00:04:55.120 Yo, stop.
00:04:55.780 Stop recording.
00:04:56.520 I don't know you.
00:04:57.460 Yo, you need to stop.
00:04:58.760 Get out.
00:04:59.560 I'm not getting out.
00:05:00.700 I was here first.
00:05:00.960 Yes, you are.
00:05:02.120 Get out of here, you dirty, filthy black man.
00:05:05.720 Get out of here with your filthy, dirty germs.
00:05:08.880 You cannot be in here with us clean, clean white ladies.
00:05:12.060 Black Lives Matter.
00:05:13.880 Black Lives Totally Matter.
00:05:15.500 I don't know what sort of accent they have.
00:05:17.440 Some European accent.
00:05:18.900 I take it.
00:05:20.160 And the guy seems to be getting kind of a kick out of it.
00:05:22.740 He's like, hey, man, stop hitting me.
00:05:23.960 What are you?
00:05:24.380 I'm not getting out of the elevator.
00:05:25.620 Come on.
00:05:25.980 I'm just trying to get up to my floor.
00:05:28.420 They're like, no, no.
00:05:29.240 These are hitting him.
00:05:30.780 Black Lives Matter.
00:05:32.160 How do they do this?
00:05:33.180 How do they resolve this?
00:05:35.160 That they are claiming Black Lives Matter as they are literally attacking a black guy
00:05:42.480 and trying to get him off of the elevator.
00:05:46.460 It makes perfect sense.
00:05:47.820 Under wokeness, under political correctness, under cultural liberalism, call it whatever
00:05:54.500 you want, saying the right thing supplants doing the right thing.
00:06:00.520 This has always been the case.
00:06:04.360 So the actions that these women are engaging in are quite ugly, cruel, uncharitable, discriminatory
00:06:14.620 even.
00:06:15.380 But what they're saying is we are good people.
00:06:19.360 When you say BLM these days, you're just saying we are good people.
00:06:23.360 We're good.
00:06:24.180 We're not bad.
00:06:24.980 We're good.
00:06:25.340 And so they're saying we are good people even as they're doing a very bad thing.
00:06:29.780 That is how wokeism works.
00:06:32.440 This is why corporations, while they're doing all sorts of bad things on labor, while they're
00:06:38.800 doing all sorts of bad things politically, while they're doing all sorts of bad things,
00:06:41.640 even on the environment in some cases, they will say the right thing.
00:06:45.280 They'll wave the rainbow flag.
00:06:46.580 They'll post the black square on BLM day, and then they think that gets them off the
00:06:51.200 hook.
00:06:51.700 These Hollywood celebrities flying around in private jets, spewing pollution into the
00:06:56.160 atmosphere.
00:06:57.340 Well, it's fine.
00:06:58.740 They get off the hook for that because they say that they're supporting climate efforts.
00:07:04.680 They're climate fighters.
00:07:05.940 They're not climate deniers.
00:07:07.180 All of these rich white celebrities who live in extremely rich white neighborhoods and send
00:07:13.500 their kids to really rich white schools, they say black lives matter.
00:07:18.900 And so they have no racial animus.
00:07:22.200 They have no race problems.
00:07:25.200 Poor white people who are friends with black people, who live in communities with black people,
00:07:30.240 who send their kids to schools with black people, if they don't say BLM, if they don't support
00:07:35.280 anarchists and rioters in the streets, well, they're dirty, rotten racists.
00:07:40.200 Saying the right thing supplants doing the right thing.
00:07:44.780 Now, these white women, I hate to discriminate, but these white women in particular can sometimes
00:07:53.360 be guilty of this, especially on The View.
00:07:56.000 So one of the cackling hens on The View, who seems to be a member of this certain species
00:08:02.240 of upper class white women, liberal upper class white women, she articulated her extraordinarily
00:08:09.300 neurotic view that life can never go back to normal after COVID.
00:08:15.080 I think there's a prudence we've learned with the mask, the hand sanitizing, that kind of
00:08:20.360 like 9-11 with flying is always going to be here now.
00:08:23.280 There's a new normal.
00:08:24.560 In the beginning, post 9-11, people didn't want to fly.
00:08:26.940 And the security measures felt like, how do we do this?
00:08:31.140 You know, and now it's the norm.
00:08:32.640 I think some of the things we've learned in this pandemic are going to stay the same.
00:08:36.060 I may never ride a subway again without a mask.
00:08:37.920 I may never go indoors to big crowds and ever feel comfortable without a mask.
00:08:41.640 And that's up to me to do that.
00:08:44.580 Obviously, this is insane behavior and an insane way of viewing the world that you will never
00:08:50.180 see people again.
00:08:51.980 You will never go into a large group of people without covering up your face.
00:08:55.580 So you'll never see a group full of smiles again.
00:08:59.300 That's gone.
00:08:59.920 You will never share air with a group of people again.
00:09:02.800 You will never take public transportation again without wearing a secular hijab or a
00:09:07.980 keffiyeh.
00:09:09.320 That's insane behavior.
00:09:11.740 But even beyond that, she says, look, and if you want to do that, that's up to you.
00:09:15.640 I don't think that should be up to you.
00:09:18.240 Right now, the debate on the masks is over two positions.
00:09:21.140 There's the leftist position, which is every single person needs to wear at least one or
00:09:25.580 two masks.
00:09:26.540 And then there's the kind of conservative position, which is that if you want to wear a mask, do
00:09:31.920 it.
00:09:32.100 And if you don't want to wear a mask, don't.
00:09:34.860 That's kind of the squish position.
00:09:37.100 I'd like to suggest a further position, a genuinely conservative position, which is you should
00:09:42.480 not be permitted outside of very rare exceptions, very rare circumstances.
00:09:47.620 You should not be permitted to wear a mask in public.
00:09:50.720 We do not want to be a society of banditos.
00:09:53.840 That is disordered.
00:09:55.320 It's weird.
00:09:56.400 We look like we're train robbers in the Wild West.
00:09:59.600 It is not serving the medical function that we were told it would after we were told it
00:10:04.380 would not after we were told it would.
00:10:05.940 You know, obviously, it's gone back and forth quite a lot because the public health establishment
00:10:09.760 is extremely cynical and dishonest and deceptive.
00:10:14.220 But we should not permit it.
00:10:15.880 But I don't I do not want to live in a society where we're all covering up each other's faces.
00:10:22.140 If you want to move to Afghanistan, if you want to, that's fine.
00:10:24.880 Go.
00:10:25.160 I don't care if the women on The View want to move to Afghanistan.
00:10:27.860 I'm not going to stop them.
00:10:29.080 But I don't want to live in that society.
00:10:30.940 And I have some rights to decide how the society is going to function because I'm a citizen,
00:10:36.200 because I'm a member of that society.
00:10:37.500 And I think there are a whole lot of us who don't want to live in this sterile world where
00:10:41.740 we no longer view our countrymen as our brothers, as our kinsfolk, where we just view them as
00:10:46.840 walking bags of germs who are going to kill us all.
00:10:49.500 I'm not I'm out.
00:10:50.720 I don't want that.
00:10:51.520 OK.
00:10:51.780 And so in as much as I have any political power, I am going to stop.
00:10:57.240 I'm on a mission of mercy.
00:10:58.740 I'm going to stop these neurotic women on The View from driving themselves even crazier than
00:11:03.680 they already are.
00:11:04.560 OK.
00:11:05.440 Take off the stupid masks.
00:11:08.940 They're really dumb.
00:11:10.380 They're I'm not.
00:11:10.840 By the way, by the way, YouTube, by the way, Facebook, by the way, big tech, I'm not making
00:11:16.560 any medical claim here.
00:11:18.260 I'm not making any claim about the transmissibility and how it affects.
00:11:22.920 I'm not.
00:11:23.400 I'm making a political claim.
00:11:25.000 The masks are dumb.
00:11:26.240 I hate them.
00:11:27.140 They're disordered.
00:11:28.160 People should not use that.
00:11:29.420 It's degrading.
00:11:30.540 Take them off.
00:11:31.880 OK.
00:11:32.140 That's my claim.
00:11:33.180 Can't fact check me on that.
00:11:34.400 It's obviously true.
00:11:36.180 They want to lock us all in our pods.
00:11:38.980 So when it comes to reality, the left is trying to isolate us all from one another.
00:11:46.740 Socially, physically, they're going to try to put us all in our pods.
00:11:49.240 And then they want us all to reconnect in a dystopian future virtual reality.
00:11:57.120 Now, when you want to hear lots of interesting things about what happened in the past, what
00:12:01.180 might happen in the future, I would recommend you tune into the Jordan Harbinger Show.

00:13:06.260 Enjoy.
00:13:07.000 The ladies on The View think that we should all just lock ourselves in our rooms forever.
00:13:12.380 Now, this sounds kind of depressing, except there's really good news.
00:13:15.080 Because the rest of the liberal establishment, moving from the corporate press into big tech
00:13:20.500 right now, they have a way that we're all going to really enjoy ourselves.
00:13:23.680 They are going to plug us into the metaverse.
00:13:26.080 Facebook just unrolled their new product.
00:13:29.240 This is the first step toward just plugging all of our brain stems into the matrix.
00:13:34.640 This is the Facebook Horizon product that is going to revolutionize the way that we live.
00:13:40.760 Beyond our world, there's another world.
00:13:45.080 And it's right here, on my face.
00:13:49.500 Welcome.
00:13:50.700 This is Horizon.
00:13:52.160 Think of me as your guide slash self-appointed spokes avatar here to show you around.
00:13:56.700 You know, Horizon is filled with possibilities.
00:13:58.940 You can play stuff, make stuff, fly stuff.
00:14:01.300 Whoa.
00:14:02.100 Really love the stache, Stuart.
00:14:04.180 What up, Stuart?
00:14:05.400 Wait, I want a mustache.
00:14:07.780 Horizon isn't about rules or limits or pants.
00:14:11.960 Or people telling you not to fly an airplane while drinking your fresh ground, fair trade,
00:14:16.900 French press morning coffee through a curly straw.
00:14:19.060 Isn't that right, Debbie?
00:14:20.200 Mm-hmm.
00:14:22.620 It's about getting out there and trying new things.
00:14:25.960 Making your mark.
00:14:27.340 Making friends with an Australian named Mark.
00:14:29.660 Oh, actually, I'm from New Zealand.
00:14:31.560 And you can even build a world of your own, like laser tag, moon landing.
00:14:40.900 We just need to get out there, you know?
00:14:43.460 Just come on.
00:14:44.380 Facebook Horizon, it's about getting out there by locking yourself in your room and putting
00:14:48.560 on goggles so you can't even see the small world around you.
00:14:51.260 You know, you know, out there, meaning in there, meaning the opposite of out there.
00:14:58.500 The creepiest thing about this video, for those of you who were just listening and didn't
00:15:02.320 get to see it, is that no one has any legs.
00:15:06.000 They're all just floating around in their blazers.
00:15:10.100 And there's just air between their bottom of their stomach and the ground.
00:15:16.180 And that was the joke that they referenced.
00:15:18.080 They said, you don't even need to worry about pants.
00:15:19.680 I thought, why?
00:15:21.280 Why don't this?
00:15:22.720 How did they take this already creepy thing?
00:15:24.400 Why would they make it so much creepier?
00:15:26.220 And then it occurred to me, oh, it's because of all the sex stuff.
00:15:29.900 It's because if people had legs in this virtual reality world, they would all just be screwing
00:15:37.280 around the whole time.
00:15:38.560 That's it.
00:15:39.240 It actually, that's not even just my speculation.
00:15:41.980 That already happened.
00:15:43.440 In one of these beta tests on the virtual reality, some woman claimed that she was sexually
00:15:48.960 groped in the metaverse.
00:15:50.780 She obviously was not sexually groped because she was sitting in her pod alone in her room.
00:15:55.620 No one touched her body.
00:15:57.180 But they touched the representation of her body.
00:15:59.980 And so I guarantee you, this was the thinking on this.
00:16:02.800 They said, gosh, if we have legs and all the stuff between the legs and the belly, you know,
00:16:07.860 then this is going to get, this is going to go downhill real fast.
00:16:11.460 Because the whole premise of virtual reality is there are no rules.
00:16:14.680 Any of your appetites, you can satisfy.
00:16:17.200 And one of the main appetites that human beings have is the sexual appetite.
00:16:21.400 So they say, okay, we're just going to denude.
00:16:24.100 We're going to, we're going to take away the sexual aspect of man.
00:16:30.040 One of the, if not the central part of our physical nature, we're just going to take that
00:16:34.520 away.
00:16:34.780 And now you're all going to float around.
00:16:38.200 This is a regression back into childhood that you're seeing.
00:16:42.760 First of all, by unsexing people, that's a regression back into childhood.
00:16:46.560 You're going back into a prepubescent state through the decision to live in a cartoon world,
00:16:53.680 where we're going to, we're going to take ourselves out of the real world.
00:16:55.960 We're going to put ourselves back into a cartoon world with magical castles where we can dance
00:17:00.140 on the moon, where we can go on roller coasters and fly airplanes while sipping through
00:17:03.800 a sippy straw, through a curly straw.
00:17:05.880 Isn't that so wonderful?
00:17:07.280 At a time when the world needs many more adults, we don't have, our adults are not acting like
00:17:13.560 adults already.
00:17:14.940 What virtual reality is offering us is an even more radical regression into childhood.
00:17:21.920 And ultimately what this is, is an attack on the physical.
00:17:26.600 This is something that the conservatives have not understood about the way the left is operating
00:17:32.640 right now.
00:17:33.800 The left, one of the chief instruments by which the left is reordering our culture is by attacking
00:17:41.840 the physical world.
00:17:43.360 I'll give you an example of this.
00:17:44.520 The BBC right now just came out, the BBC, British Broadcasting Company.
00:17:48.880 They are censoring their own media, their own content, their own TV shows.
00:17:55.600 The Daily Telegraph just reported that an anonymous Radio 4 Extra listener had, quote, discovered
00:18:02.940 the BBC had been quietly editing repeats of shows over the past few years to keep more in
00:18:08.100 keeping with social mores.
00:18:09.960 So now, now we're finding out that the entrenched powers, they're not just censoring experience
00:18:18.000 like you see in the metaverse, in the Facebook horizon.
00:18:20.380 They're censoring art, culture, history, pretty radical claim, pretty serious accusation.
00:18:26.700 What say you, BBC?
00:18:27.500 BBC, they admitted it.
00:18:30.540 The BBC said, quote, on occasion, we edit some episodes so they are suitable for broadcast
00:18:36.540 today, including removing racially offensive language and stereotypes from decades ago as
00:18:42.580 the vast majority of our audience would expect.
00:18:45.900 You know, I hate to say, I told you so, I have seen this coming.
00:18:52.080 Many of you have as well.
00:18:53.840 For many months, if not years now, I have stopped buying digital books, digital movies.
00:19:01.800 I'll still buy them on occasion, especially when I need them very quickly.
00:19:05.320 But in terms of my collections of media, I really only buy physical now.
00:19:11.020 I buy physical books.
00:19:12.380 When I can, I try to buy physical movies, even physical photographs.
00:19:16.900 Because when, when all of your media are digital, then they are open to surreptitious editing.
00:19:25.320 You don't really own them.
00:19:26.300 Even when you, when you download a movie and you think you own that movie, you don't.
00:19:29.560 You've bought a license for that movie, but Netflix or Amazon or whoever is distributing
00:19:35.880 that movie, they can take it away whenever they want, or they can edit that movie whenever
00:19:39.000 they want.
00:19:39.540 Now, the, the big, the big misconception here is that we primarily think of the libs as trying
00:19:47.780 to change our culture by disconnecting us from the spiritual, right?
00:19:53.380 The, the libs are trying to take us out of church.
00:19:55.480 The libs are trying to stop us from praying.
00:19:57.360 No prayer in schools, no Bible in schools.
00:19:59.420 The libs are trying to mock the idea that there is a God or a transcendent moral order.
00:20:04.440 The, the libs are pushing materialism, say.
00:20:06.880 They're saying we're just flesh and blood when they're not pushing the opposite of materialism
00:20:12.080 when they say that our bodies have nothing to do with who we are with transgenderism, right?
00:20:16.260 It's an attack on the spiritual, we think.
00:20:18.540 No, not primarily.
00:20:20.800 Primarily, it's an attack on the physical.
00:20:23.940 If they can divorce us from the physical world and our natural physical connections,
00:20:31.620 then, then it's much more, more easy for them to upend our spiritual understanding too.
00:20:38.040 I know this is a little bit pie in the sky, so look at it in really tangible terms.
00:20:42.700 We come into this world, what is our dearest physical connection?
00:20:48.440 What, what is, what is the dearest physical thing about us?
00:20:51.120 It's probably our sex, right?
00:20:52.260 The physical differences between little boys and little girls.
00:20:54.980 So what does the left do?
00:20:56.080 They deny that.
00:20:57.220 And you see this in the theory of transgenderism.
00:21:00.660 What's our next nearest physical connection?
00:21:03.260 It's to mommy and daddy.
00:21:04.660 The connection between a, a little baby and his mother is the nearest physical connection
00:21:09.980 he's going to have.
00:21:10.600 So they try to divorce that.
00:21:12.020 No longer does a baby need a mommy.
00:21:14.060 Now a baby can be made in a test tube and be given to a mommy and a daddy or just a mommy
00:21:18.200 or just a daddy or two daddies or three daddies and a goat.
00:21:20.760 Doesn't matter.
00:21:21.440 They're, they're disconnecting reproduction from the natural sexual act.
00:21:26.200 Beyond that, then the nearest physical connection we have is from a little child to our families.
00:21:32.040 The left is trying to get rid of that as quickly as they possibly can.
00:21:35.480 They want the child taken away from the family earlier and earlier, not just in first
00:21:40.220 grade, but then in kindergarten, not just in kindergarten, but then in preschool, not just
00:21:43.620 in preschool, but starting when you're two or three years old, the state will fund this.
00:21:47.280 They will take, they'll pay you to take your kid away and, and instruct this child and
00:21:53.380 raise that child and educate him.
00:21:54.720 And then they'll stay in college longer and longer and longer.
00:21:58.320 And then you will be impelled to move away from your family.
00:22:02.740 Don't stay in your hometown, move away, move away.
00:22:04.800 We all do it.
00:22:05.560 So many of us do it these days.
00:22:07.640 Move to a city, move, have every, break that physical connection.
00:22:11.620 And then we will be told, don't even when you go to work, don't go to work.
00:22:15.300 You don't need to go to work anymore.
00:22:17.540 Go, you don't need to go into an office.
00:22:18.840 Just zoom in, just sit in your pod and open up your computer and communicate digitally.
00:22:26.480 Won't that be fun?
00:22:28.400 This is what the, the World Economic Forum has talked about.
00:22:32.120 This is what so many of our international elite institutions have talked about.
00:22:37.660 You hear phrases like the great reset.
00:22:39.720 You hear phrases like you, you will own nothing and you will be happy.
00:22:43.340 You won't even have ownership of your body.
00:22:45.480 You, or you won't even have that connection to your body.
00:22:48.500 Forget ownership.
00:22:49.140 You won't even have that connection.
00:22:50.640 They're trying to sever you.
00:22:52.020 James Poulos at the Claremont Institute made this great point.
00:22:54.360 He said, transgenderism, it's a little bit of a distraction.
00:22:58.260 It's a way to get into transhumanism.
00:23:00.460 Don't do it.
00:23:01.440 Grab on, have real physical connections, acknowledge physical reality, boys, girls, family, country,
00:23:08.520 culture, borders, stop denying the physical world.
00:23:14.140 You know, the next episode of Adam Carolla's comedy series, Truth Yeller, airs tomorrow.
00:23:19.540 Adam is joined by Silicon Valley actor and comedian, TJ Miller, who wears a very short
00:23:24.760 clip on time and takes no prisoners.
00:23:26.700 Check it out.
00:23:27.400 Sorry, I was, I was just jogging.
00:23:30.700 I was trying to find my dog.
00:23:33.020 But I double fisted it because, you know, it evens out as you jog the weight.
00:23:37.720 This guy looked at me and he goes, it's true.
00:23:39.680 It is true.
00:23:40.880 I'm joking, but you're serious.
00:23:42.500 This guy really does do it.
00:23:44.980 Hi.
00:23:45.500 Hey, TJ.
00:23:45.900 Thank you for having me.
00:23:46.820 Thanks for coming out.
00:23:48.120 Oh, I'm excited.
00:23:49.340 This is just a prop, though.
00:23:50.560 Do you want this?
00:23:52.180 Oh, you won't take it, huh?
00:23:53.700 Why, COVID?
00:23:54.680 You one of those guys, huh?
00:23:58.420 Won't drink a stranger's beer because of COVID?
00:24:13.180 Miller, M-I-L-L-E-R, for 25% off your membership.
00:24:17.160 Look out for the new episode with TJ Miller dropping tomorrow.
00:24:19.920 Also, Daily Wire now has our own publishing wing.
00:24:22.680 You know that.
00:24:23.060 It's DW Books.
00:24:24.340 We're very proud to be publishing two books that are actively fighting the left's monopoly
00:24:27.980 on storytelling.
00:24:29.260 The first is 12 Seconds in the Dark by Sergeant Mattingly.
00:24:32.240 The book is the true story of what really happened the night of the Breonna Taylor shooting
00:24:36.920 from the 20-year police veteran.
00:24:39.360 And the second is Fiery but Mostly Peaceful by Julio Rosas, who pulls back the curtain and
00:24:43.740 sets the record straight on the Black Lives Matter riots that broke out across the country
00:24:48.340 in 2020.
00:24:48.840 I can't wait for you to hear their stories.
00:24:50.900 Both are available for pre-order now on Amazon or anywhere you buy books online.
00:24:54.920 We'll be right back with a lot more.
00:24:56.260 This attack, this liberal attack on physical stuff, real, tangible, physical stuff, goes
00:25:15.640 really, really deep.
00:25:16.940 It's not even just about your personal life.
00:25:18.600 It's not even just about your home or your family.
00:25:20.440 It goes to the national borders.
00:25:21.880 Traditionally, we think of a nation as being the place within the nation's borders.
00:25:26.740 The nation is having something to do with the people of that nation.
00:25:30.000 What the left tells us is, no, there's no such thing.
00:25:32.400 The borders don't matter.
00:25:33.780 Borders are either fake or evil or both.
00:25:37.440 Either way, we need to ignore them.
00:25:39.360 The people of a country, that doesn't really matter.
00:25:41.860 Some guy in Timbuktu is more American than Joe Blow in Mississippi.
00:25:45.880 In Mississippi, why?
00:25:47.340 I don't know.
00:25:47.800 How is that, what does that mean?
00:25:48.980 It doesn't mean anything.
00:25:50.700 But it is, why are we now not permitted to use physical money?
00:25:56.960 You'll notice increasingly, we are discouraged from using physical money.
00:26:00.700 We're supposed to use electronic money.
00:26:02.000 Much easier for a centralized power to freeze your electronic money if it's just numbers
00:26:06.260 on a spreadsheet rather than physical money.
00:26:08.980 Even physical money, just fiat money, is less real than, say, money backed by a tangible
00:26:14.640 good, like gold, for instance.
00:26:17.580 This can go much, much, much deeper.
00:26:20.380 It's not just something that was decided over the past couple of years by the World Economic
00:26:24.420 Forum or something like that.
00:26:25.640 And this is why, all of that is to say, I really liked a comment that Jen Psaki made the
00:26:32.060 other day.
00:26:32.580 And she was pilloried for this comment by the left and by the right.
00:26:37.220 And I need to stand up and defend Jen, because I found the comment charming and actually somewhat
00:26:44.080 encouraging.
00:26:45.120 My advice to everyone out there who's frustrated, sad, angry, pissed off, feel those emotions,
00:26:50.840 go to a kickboxing class, have a margarita, do whatever you need to do this weekend, and
00:26:54.740 then wake up on Monday morning, we've got to keep fighting.
00:26:56.740 And what that means, Lindsay, is we have to keep talking to members about federal legislation.
00:27:01.440 That's essential.
00:27:02.560 That's something that can be permanent, that can make sure people's rights are protected.
00:27:06.040 But we also need to make sure people are educated in states across the country about what their
00:27:10.900 rights are, how they can vote, when they can vote, how to request an absentee ballot.
00:27:16.100 There's a lot we need to do on that front, and that's going to rely on the energy and the
00:27:20.660 anger of that activism as well.
00:27:23.500 I love this.
00:27:25.080 Of course, the second half is just blah, blah, blah, be a Democrat, help the Democrat talking
00:27:29.520 points.
00:27:29.840 Sure, that's what you expect.
00:27:30.960 That's her job.
00:27:31.540 She's a spokesman for the Democrat president.
00:27:33.160 Listen, that first part, look, you're angry, you're pissed off.
00:27:39.300 Hey, guys, go to a kickboxing class.
00:27:42.820 Go outside.
00:27:43.620 Go see your friends.
00:27:44.580 Go get a drink at the bar.
00:27:45.660 Go have a margarita.
00:27:47.180 Cool it.
00:27:48.280 There's more to life than just these specific policy battles.
00:27:52.660 There's more to life.
00:27:53.100 There's your friends.
00:27:53.860 There's your community.
00:27:55.100 There's the local bar down the street, and there's the gym on the other end of the street.
00:27:58.680 Go do that, and then you can get back to work on Monday.
00:28:01.300 Beautiful.
00:28:02.540 Thank you.
00:28:03.600 Thank you.
00:28:05.060 Great advice.
00:28:06.480 First of all, there is more to life than these specific policy battles, of course.
00:28:12.200 But second, going into our communities, actually just talking to friends, can be extraordinarily
00:28:23.180 restorative.
00:28:25.140 Jordan Peterson had a comment the other day that I thought was so good.
00:28:29.700 I don't think he's the first person to come up with this idea, but he articulated it in
00:28:34.200 a really clear way, which is that rationality is a communal endeavor.
00:28:40.940 When you are alone for long periods of time, you go crazy, inevitably.
00:28:47.500 This is also an important lesson for the radical individualists on the right.
00:28:56.780 The radical individualism says, leave me alone.
00:28:59.280 I'm going to go sit alone on my farm in Montana, my ranch in Montana.
00:29:02.880 I'm going to have a minigun ready to just blast away anybody who comes near me.
00:29:06.940 I am an individual.
00:29:08.260 I am an island.
00:29:09.380 I'm an atomized person floating in space.
00:29:12.360 No, you're crazy if you think that.
00:29:14.480 You're crazy.
00:29:15.100 I know that some right-wingers feel pushed to take that position because the left is trying
00:29:21.180 to bundle us all together in a commie collective, but you are not an individual.
00:29:26.440 And the opposite of communism or socialism is not individualism.
00:29:30.760 They're actually two sides of the same coin.
00:29:32.600 What the left has always done is broken down society into a group of atomized individuals,
00:29:38.260 broken down all those institutions, all the mediating institutions, notably the
00:29:41.740 family.
00:29:42.440 Then once you're all a bunch of individuals, they bundle you all together.
00:29:45.740 The fascists bundle you all together in a bag of sticks.
00:29:50.760 Not a bag, a bundle of sticks rather.
00:29:53.900 My fascist imagery escaped me for a second.
00:29:56.760 And the socialists bundle you all together underneath the aegis of the state.
00:30:01.880 And they just bundle you all together and they treat you as little dots, little inputs in
00:30:09.000 a spreadsheet rather than as real people with real communities, with real institutions.
00:30:14.380 And what Jen Psaki is saying is, no, come on, just go out there.
00:30:18.180 Get out there in the physical world.
00:30:19.520 See your friends.
00:30:20.020 It's a good thing.
00:30:20.560 It'll keep you much more rational.
00:30:22.320 Part of the reason people have lost their freaking minds over the past two years is because
00:30:26.080 we have isolated ourselves.
00:30:27.520 We have not been in community.
00:30:29.960 We have been sitting alone.
00:30:31.380 A lot of people have been sitting alone for two years, and that will inevitably drive you
00:30:35.860 nuts.
00:30:36.560 Now, that is the only sensible thing that Jen Psaki has said recently.
00:30:42.920 Psaki was just asked yesterday about the decision of the FDA to prevent certain states, notably
00:30:49.160 Florida, from receiving monoclonal antibodies.
00:30:52.500 This is a treatment that seemed to show a great success in dealing with COVID.
00:30:58.040 Now they've cut off Florida.
00:30:59.760 Rhonda Santis is furious about this.
00:31:02.020 Here's Psaki's response.
00:31:03.560 The FDA yesterday withdrew the EUA for some monoclonal antibody treatments because they don't
00:31:10.740 work against Omicron.
00:31:12.520 But Florida continues to push for the treatment for people in the state.
00:31:16.440 What's your response to Governor Santis?
00:31:18.760 And what's your message to the people of Florida?
00:31:20.640 Well, let's just take a step back here just to realize how crazy this is a little bit.
00:31:26.540 We've approached COVID treatments like filling a medicine cabinet.
00:31:30.880 We're not relying on one type, one brand, or treatment.
00:31:33.780 We invested in and continue to buy a variety across monoclonal antibodies, pre-exposure prevention
00:31:39.720 therapies, and oral antivirals.
00:31:41.540 We have provided 71,000 doses of antivirals to Florida, including 34,000 additional treatments
00:31:48.520 that do work against Omicron.
00:31:50.520 Just this last week, I'm sorry, of a range of those treatments, I should say, to be clear.
00:31:55.080 What the FDA is making clear is that these treatments, the ones that they are fighting
00:31:59.800 over, that the governor is fighting over, do not work against Omicron, and they have side
00:32:03.900 effects.
00:32:04.420 That is what the scientists are saying.
00:32:06.020 We have sent them 71,000 doses of treatments that are effective against Omicron.
00:32:11.920 Think about how insane this is.
00:32:14.420 The FDA, the spokesman for science, said something, and then the governor in Florida, he's disagreeing
00:32:21.940 with that.
00:32:22.440 How insane is that?
00:32:23.400 As if Ron DeSantis doesn't have health advisors in Florida, as if it's just Ron DeSantis on
00:32:30.240 some message board online, you know, passing around conspiracy theories, contradicting the
00:32:35.980 geniuses at the FDA.
00:32:37.440 No, I'm pretty sure Ron DeSantis has pretty good health advisors in Florida.
00:32:42.060 I forget the health secretary's name in Florida.
00:32:44.300 He appointed him not too long ago.
00:32:46.860 Extraordinarily impressive guy, but he had a different take on COVID and on the mandates
00:32:51.680 and on the lockdowns and on the vaccines and on the treatments than the feds did, than
00:32:57.140 the Democrat health advisors at the national level.
00:33:02.800 This is not a battle between the scientists on one hand and Ron DeSantis and the politicians
00:33:09.200 on the other.
00:33:10.460 This is two battles that overlap, a battle between the feds and the states and a battle between
00:33:17.700 the Democrats and the Republicans.
00:33:19.100 The Democrats control the federal government usually, and especially right now, Ron DeSantis
00:33:25.080 and the Republicans control the state.
00:33:29.340 Which do you think has a better record?
00:33:32.280 If you had to say right now, okay, I'm getting two different contradictory pieces of medical
00:33:38.000 advice, one from the federal government and the Democrats and Joe Biden, and one from Ron
00:33:44.540 DeSantis and the conservatives and the states.
00:33:47.720 Who do you think has a better record on COVID?
00:33:50.740 It's obviously DeSantis.
00:33:52.720 It's obviously the Republicans.
00:33:55.020 It's obviously Florida.
00:33:56.640 Way better record than Joe Biden.
00:33:59.000 All I know about the FDA and the FBI here as a representative of the broader public health
00:34:05.180 establishment of Dr. Fauci and Dr. Scarf and Rochelle Walensky and the rest of them.
00:34:10.480 They've gotten most things wrong about COVID.
00:34:16.580 I don't think that's an exaggeration.
00:34:17.840 They've gotten most things wrong, and in some cases, they've lied.
00:34:21.620 So I think I'm going to go with DeSantis.
00:34:24.360 I think I'm going to go with his health advisors.
00:34:26.700 I think I'm going to go with the states and the Republicans.
00:34:29.040 That's just the rational thing to do.
00:34:30.960 If you want to follow the science, that would be the logical conclusion.
00:34:34.480 Conclusion.
00:34:36.300 Meanwhile, the idea that the liberal health establishment is really engaging in open discourse
00:34:43.160 and following the science, that silly notion is collapsing all around us.
00:34:48.220 There was Senate testimony just the other day from Dr. Aaron Cariarty explaining how,
00:34:55.180 at least in the state of California, there is no opportunity to dissent from the politically
00:35:01.400 correct orthodoxy on these issues.
00:35:04.120 That actually, even when you think there's an opportunity to dissent, really, the entrenched
00:35:09.200 powers that be are going to go in and cut that off at the knees.
00:35:13.400 Went out to all physicians from the medical board saying, any physician in California who
00:35:20.180 writes an inappropriate exemption for masks or other COVID-related measures will have his
00:35:29.040 medical license subjected to investigation and disciplinary action.
00:35:34.400 So for a physician, just to help you to understand, this kind of threat hanging over
00:35:40.880 your head is worse than the threat of getting fired.
00:35:43.300 If I get fired from a particular healthcare organization, I can go to another healthcare
00:35:47.940 organization or go start a private practice.
00:35:50.480 If I lose my medical license, I cannot practice medicine.
00:35:55.580 Okay?
00:35:56.060 That's how serious this is.
00:35:57.320 The letter never defined what might constitute an appropriate or inappropriate mask mandate.
00:36:03.100 So I have no idea if I write a mandate for a kid with a severe anxiety disorder that's
00:36:07.480 worsened by the wearing of a mask, is that going to subject my medical license to disciplinary
00:36:12.720 action?
00:36:13.580 It has become de facto impossible to get a medical exemption for a COVID vaccine in the state of
00:36:20.900 California.
00:36:21.460 It has become de facto.
00:36:25.240 So not, maybe not according to the letter of the law, but in practice, in fact, it has
00:36:30.960 become impossible to get those exemptions.
00:36:34.920 Why?
00:36:35.640 Because the doctors are told if you give the exemption, then you're, you're very likely going
00:36:40.880 to lose your license.
00:36:41.620 And so the doctors are not going to do it.
00:36:43.040 There are plenty of good reasons not to get the vaccine.
00:36:50.420 I'm not saying that there are no good reasons to get the vaccine necessarily.
00:36:54.000 I'm saying that there are plenty of good reasons not to get the vaccine.
00:36:56.900 There are the moral considerations, namely all of the vaccines are produced, at least produced
00:37:02.460 and some are developed with, or rather they're all developed with, some are produced with
00:37:06.780 fetal stem cells, cells derived from these, these fetal stem cell lines.
00:37:12.920 And there are, there are medical reasons not to get the vaccines.
00:37:16.680 There have been a number of studies that have shown risks of side effects, including inflammation
00:37:22.420 of the heart, including nerve damage, including blood clotting and including death.
00:37:28.960 Not saying it's common, it's more pronounced risk in certain groups than other groups.
00:37:34.680 And so you could make a prudential judgment, huh?
00:37:36.520 I'm not really so much at risk from the virus.
00:37:39.100 So maybe I'm going to avoid the vaccine.
00:37:40.500 There are plenty of reasons not to do, particularly if you have some heart condition, right?
00:37:45.580 Particularly if you have moral qualms about it.
00:37:48.460 And it's almost impossible to get those exemptions.
00:37:53.940 So the liberal establishment gets to pretend that, yeah, listen, we're just, we're just following
00:37:58.700 the science, we're, we're being very open-minded, we're granting exemptions.
00:38:01.960 But by the way, if you don't go along with exactly what we're saying right this very second,
00:38:05.560 even if it contradicts what we said two seconds ago, if you don't do that right now,
00:38:09.260 we're going to destroy your life, we're going to destroy your career.
00:38:13.100 But you have choice.
00:38:14.180 It's not choice.
00:38:14.820 It's the illusion of choice.
00:38:16.600 And this is having real world effects, by the way.
00:38:18.420 These sorts of ideas are having real world effects.
00:38:21.660 There is a 31-year-old father right now who is waiting for a heart transplant over at
00:38:28.720 a Boston hospital, and he's right up toward the top of the list, and he is reportedly being
00:38:35.940 bumped off that list.
00:38:37.920 Why is he being bumped off of that list or being bumped way, way down the list?
00:38:43.340 You know, you can intuit what I'm going to say.
00:38:46.640 It's because he refuses to take the COVID vaccine.
00:38:52.260 So a man is very, very likely, very possibly, probably very likely going to die because he
00:39:00.040 refuses to take the vaccine, without which the public health establishment says he is
00:39:06.020 going to die.
00:39:08.260 And he's got a good reason to avoid the vaccine, too.
00:39:10.720 So 31-year-old father, currently at a Boston hospital, refusing to get the vaccine.
00:39:18.520 His name is D.J. Ferguson.
00:39:20.460 His family says he was the first on the list to receive a transplant at Brigham and Women's
00:39:25.580 Hospital, but he's no longer eligible because of his vaccine status.
00:39:29.100 This, according to CBS Boston.
00:39:32.400 Now, his father says, I think my boy is fighting pretty damn courageously, and he has integrity
00:39:37.340 and principles he believes in, and that makes me respect him all the more.
00:39:41.840 It's his body.
00:39:42.460 It's his choice.
00:39:43.320 Okay.
00:39:44.600 Why won't he get the vaccine?
00:39:46.060 You would think, look, you're a 31-year-old guy.
00:39:47.880 You got a couple of kids.
00:39:48.760 You got another kid on the way.
00:39:50.340 You're up on the list for the heart transplant.
00:39:52.240 Just get the vaccine, right?
00:39:53.540 What's the worst that happens?
00:39:54.520 You die?
00:39:55.100 Well, you're going to die anyway, very likely.
00:39:57.240 So I see why people would say, just go, just get it.
00:40:02.080 Now, maybe he's got some moral convictions about it.
00:40:04.000 He says, I'm not going to use, I'm not going to even engage in the remote
00:40:07.300 cooperation with evil that is entailed in taking these vaccines because of the fetal
00:40:11.280 body parts, fetal stem cells.
00:40:14.260 Maybe.
00:40:14.880 I'm not sure that that's his motivation here either.
00:40:17.060 His argument is that he's got a very serious heart condition and that the vaccines have caused
00:40:23.820 inflammation of the heart in young men, and so he could end up taking the vaccine and then
00:40:28.500 dying shortly thereafter.
00:40:29.880 And according to this report, the doctors have said as much.
00:40:32.700 The doctors have said, yeah, there's a chance.
00:40:35.160 It might not be a huge chance, but there's a chance that you get this vaccine and then
00:40:38.960 your heart just explodes, basically.
00:40:41.760 And it enlarges so much and there's no more room for it to enlarge that you could die from
00:40:47.540 the vaccine.
00:40:48.200 That's a risk.
00:40:49.920 So he's saying, well, I don't want to do that.
00:40:51.320 Let's see if I can go to a different hospital.
00:40:53.000 Let's see if there's some different rule.
00:40:54.940 And he's being caught in this madness.
00:40:57.220 The issue is more complex than some conservatives make it out to be, but obviously there are
00:41:04.500 legit reasons not to get this vaccine.
00:41:07.300 The only issue here that I push back against is the my body, my choice argument.
00:41:15.800 This guy should get, this guy should totally be allowed to stay on the list for the heart
00:41:20.420 transplant.
00:41:21.120 This guy is doing nothing wrong.
00:41:23.480 This guy has plenty of good reasons not to get the vaccine, but that's not a general
00:41:30.060 rule.
00:41:31.260 The my, my body, my choice is a leftist slogan to defend abortion.
00:41:38.080 And I'm all for conservatives throwing that slogan back in their face to own the libs because
00:41:43.180 now the libs are trying to force us all to inject ourselves with the Fauci ouchie and
00:41:46.560 they're clearly hypocrites.
00:41:48.620 But we don't actually believe it guys.
00:41:50.740 We don't, my body, my choice is not our slogan.
00:41:54.200 That's their slogan.
00:41:54.980 It's a dumb slogan.
00:41:56.000 So I don't think conservatives should be adopting that.
00:41:59.460 There are plenty of laws in our society that we conservatives support that impede some bodily
00:42:06.840 autonomy.
00:42:09.020 Laws against using drugs.
00:42:11.720 That would be the clearest example.
00:42:12.860 Unless you're willing to make, at least, unless you're willing during the most deadly drug
00:42:21.640 opioid epidemic ever in our nation's history, unless you're willing to make heroin and fentanyl
00:42:26.700 legal, then you support some drug laws.
00:42:30.360 Meaning you don't believe my body, my choice.
00:42:34.280 Unless you oppose public indecency laws and you think that people ought to be able to strut
00:42:39.400 down the sidewalk in their birthday suit, then you support some incursions into bodily
00:42:45.940 autonomy.
00:42:46.460 You don't support my body, my choice.
00:42:50.280 The leftist view and the radical individualist view is that you should be able to do whatever
00:42:55.540 you want with your body.
00:42:56.520 That's not the conservative view.
00:42:57.960 We are not anarchists.
00:42:59.580 We believe, if we believe anything at all, we believe that there is a transcendent moral
00:43:03.800 order.
00:43:04.140 We believe that tradition matters.
00:43:06.860 We believe that reverence and humility and respect matter.
00:43:11.260 And so, no, you can't just do whatever you want with your body.
00:43:14.260 This is causing a big problem right now for Trump because Trump is launching, ostensibly
00:43:19.860 launching this new social network called Truth Social.
00:43:22.720 And Truth Social has just announced that they will have content moderation.
00:43:26.640 And so, now it's being attacked as not being a total free speech platform.
00:43:32.600 Truth Social announced this according to Devin Nunes, the former congressman who's now running
00:43:37.160 Truth Social.
00:43:38.380 We want to be very family friendly.
00:43:40.160 We want this to be a very safe place and we are focused on making sure any illegal content
00:43:44.100 is not on the site.
00:43:45.800 We're going to limit sexually explicit content and posts that include violence, bullying, hate
00:43:50.240 speech, and spam.
00:43:52.540 Some more individualist types are really pushing back against this.
00:43:57.300 But this is good, actually.
00:44:01.240 This is good.
00:44:02.040 Moderation is good.
00:44:03.840 Moderation is not a vice.
00:44:05.200 Moderation is a virtue.
00:44:06.800 It's one of the four cardinal virtues, temperance.
00:44:09.440 We like moderation.
00:44:11.280 We don't want there to be all sorts of disgusting, illegal, filthy, terrible things.
00:44:17.000 You're seeing conservatives begin to recognize this in the curriculum debate because the curriculum
00:44:21.940 debate over CRT in schools and creepy LGBT LMNOP pornography in schools, the conservative
00:44:28.580 position now is not, well, hey, we should have some straight material in there, too.
00:44:33.980 Hey, let's put some straight porn in the libraries, too.
00:44:37.380 Well, okay.
00:44:37.700 I would never say we should moderate or ban anything from our curricula or our libraries,
00:44:43.340 but I'm just saying if we're going to have anti-white racism, we should have some pro-white
00:44:49.680 racism, too, right?
00:44:50.580 Is that what we're?
00:44:51.120 No, we're not saying that.
00:44:52.980 We're saying take out the bad stuff.
00:44:57.420 Take out the poison.
00:44:59.140 It is not good in our education, in our society.
00:45:02.300 There are plenty of things we don't like.
00:45:03.920 This is not an assault on free speech.
00:45:06.040 This is the defense of free speech because free speech always requires limits.
00:45:11.520 Otherwise, free speech can be abused into cacophony.
00:45:16.580 Otherwise, liberty can be abused into licentiousness, which our founding fathers told us is a really
00:45:21.100 really bad idea.
00:45:24.500 Before I go, I've got to get to this.
00:45:26.040 This is really quick.
00:45:27.480 Speaking of speech that should be censored.
00:45:29.220 Brian Stelter.
00:45:30.380 Brian Stelter at CNN 2018, he tweeted out emphatically, calling a journalist an SOB.
00:45:36.020 It was wrong when Trump was a candidate.
00:45:37.540 It's even worse now that he's president.
00:45:38.780 These threats expose journalists to threats and intimidation.
00:45:42.860 And then Joe Biden does the exact same thing, and Brian Stelter apparently gets a kick out of it,
00:45:47.400 and he's retweeting some defenses of it.
00:45:49.980 And then he says, okay, this is 2018.
00:45:52.860 It's still true.
00:45:53.580 Yeah, okay.
00:45:54.140 It's not so great.
00:45:54.840 It's still out of line.
00:45:55.740 But the context is different because it's no longer Trump.
00:45:59.600 Yeah, that's true.
00:46:00.080 I actually think Brian Stelter makes a good point here.
00:46:02.780 It is different when Democrats go after the press because Democrats and the press are on the
00:46:07.220 same side with very few exceptions.
00:46:09.460 It actually is different.
00:46:10.900 It's not just pure hypocrisy.
00:46:12.380 It is, to quote the law professor Adrian Vermeule, hierarchy.
00:46:16.540 It's two different, and we need to recognize that those are different contexts.
00:46:21.380 We need to recognize that the alliances are different and the way that we can behave in
00:46:24.740 society is different if we ever want to help to transform it and restore a good culture.
