The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 958 - Democrats Are Living In A Fantasy

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, don't worry. I know things have seemed pretty bad in the past few weeks and months,

00:00:05.300 what with the record inflation, the $4 and $5 per gallon gasoline averages,

00:00:10.620 and the prospect of nuclear holocaust. But have no fear. Rest assured, 0.98

00:00:15.640 Vice President Kamala Harris has the answer.

00:00:19.020 Imagine a future. The freight trucks that deliver bread and milk to our grocery store shelves,

00:00:26.200 and the buses that take children to school and parents to work.

00:00:30.480 Imagine all the heavy-duty vehicles that keep our supply lines strong and allow our economy to grow.

00:00:38.100 Imagine that they produced zero emissions.

00:00:44.800 Well, you all imagined it. That's why we're here today.

00:00:48.800 Because we have the ability to see what can be unburdened by what has been,

00:00:54.480 and then to make the possible actually happen.

00:01:06.200 Imagine all the people living for today.

00:01:16.480 You.

00:01:16.840 Excuse me. Excuse me. I was just trying to put myself in a state in which I could understand

00:01:26.880 what Kamala Harris said.

00:01:29.280 From what I can tell, she is saying that we're going to have a fast-moving supply chain someday,

00:01:35.680 and the way we're going to get it is by completely getting rid of all our transportation infrastructure

00:01:41.220 and replacing it with, well, that part can be worked out later, maybe drum circles.

00:01:46.940 It's not going to be windmills. It's not going to be solar. Those barely produce any energy.

00:01:51.060 They're extremely inefficient.

00:01:52.840 It's not going to be nuclear. That is extremely efficient, and it produces a lot of energy,

00:01:57.360 and we know how to do it, but we're not going to do it for some reason that Kamala Harris can't quite explain.

00:02:02.780 And it's certainly not going to be oil and gas, which are relatively very efficient and abundant.

00:02:07.480 And we were just producing a lot of it a few years ago, but no more.

00:02:11.800 In the meantime, we're going to pay record prices for gas with dollars that are worth nothing,

00:02:18.640 thanks to the policies of a president who sounds like Lenin, both John and Vladimir,

00:02:23.580 and Vice President Yoko Ono.

00:02:25.820 On the bright side, we may still get our free crack pipes,

00:02:29.360 so at least there's a chance we can understand what in the hell it is that they think they're doing.

00:02:34.460 I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:02:37.480 Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment yesterday is from Maximilian M.K. Gill,

00:02:47.500 who says, it's amazing how patriotic the Democrats can be when it's not their country. That's true.

00:02:53.760 They are true Ukrainian patriots. They're Chinese patriots sometimes, but they just never seem to be

00:03:01.520 American patriots. Isn't that too bad? Because we want to protect ourselves. We want to protect our

00:03:06.980 national identity. We want to protect our personal identity, which is why you got to check out

00:04:21.060 You know, Kamala Harris isn't even the worst one. That's the crazy part. Kamala Harris, 1.00

00:04:27.760 who doesn't make any sense, who sounds like she just ripped a bong in freshman philosophy class

00:04:33.480 to solve the energy crisis. You know, man, just imagine, man. What if the color that I think is 0.52

00:04:40.740 green, you think is blue, you know? Man, just imagine. And that's the way it is. Somehow,

00:04:46.640 now, she is still more likable than a number of people in the Biden administration. Top of that

00:04:53.440 list, top of the unlikable, I just, I can't deal with it list in the Biden administration. 0.69

00:04:59.900 Top of the vapid platitude, give me a freaking break list in the Biden administration.

00:05:08.220 It's Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who recently

00:05:11.120 tried to sort of twist himself into a logical pretzel to explain how what he does at the

00:05:17.580 transportation department is intrinsically tied up with civil rights.

00:05:22.260 Now, some are asking what transportation could possibly have to do with racial justice.

00:05:29.380 Some have been asking that very pointedly. So it's all the more fitting that we're here

00:05:34.320 at this bridge, this piece of infrastructure that became a battleground in the struggle for equal

00:05:40.320 rights. This place that reminds us how transportation and civil rights have always,

00:05:46.180 always been related. From the ships that carried so many into bondage, to the ferries and wagons of

00:05:53.220 the Underground Railroad that transported so many to freedom, from the train car at issue in Plessy

00:05:59.140 versus Ferguson, to the bus where Rosa Parks decided to keep her seat. We are reminded again

00:06:05.440 and again how deep is that relationship between the physical movement of human beings and the social

00:06:11.340 movement that changed this country. Shut up. Shut up, Pete Buttigieg. You, oh, oh, I just, 0.99

00:06:20.240 he just drives me crazy. He's just that teacher's pet trying way too hard. Just, actually, when you

00:06:32.120 really think about it, I'm sort of like Martin Luther King. I, Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South

00:06:37.520 Bend, and now the head of a minor cabinet department, I'm pretty much, I'm pretty much Frederick

00:06:44.240 Douglas, actually. When you, in this paper, I will describe how, it's just, shut up. No, you're not. 0.96

00:06:50.040 You run, you run a department of the government that is supposed to keep stuff moving on the roads,

00:06:57.180 and you're failing at that, by the way. Probably the biggest, well, until a week or two ago, until

00:07:01.780 the gas prices went through the roof and inflation hit a 40-year high, you were failing more than

00:07:07.280 anyone else in the government because the biggest problem in the country was the supply chain issue.

00:07:11.480 So you, you're not doing that. You're, you're, the ports are backed up as can be. The supply chain

00:07:17.100 isn't really working. So that's fine. You're an incompetent government employee. There are plenty

00:07:21.220 of those. But now you're comparing yourself to Rosa Parks. He is trying so hard to make

00:07:27.460 transportation secretary a stepping stone to president. It is not. It is not that. Pete Buttigieg,

00:07:36.420 good grief. It's so, it's not going to happen. It's like fetch. It's like fetch in Mean Girls.

00:07:44.280 It's stop trying to make the transportation secretary thing happen, Pete Buttigieg. That

00:07:49.260 is not a stepping stone to president. I know, look, right now the Biden administration is so

00:07:54.100 deeply unpopular. Biden's approval's in the 30s. Kamala's in the 20s. Pete's is in the 30s. So

00:07:58.940 relatively, it's fairly strong compared to the others. But it's just not going to happen,

00:08:03.580 bro. This is, calm down, cool it with the ambition here. It's a complete disaster. And

00:08:08.800 by the way, the transportation secretary like doesn't matter that much. So he can go off and

00:08:14.540 make his stupid speeches and it's, it doesn't really matter. But the rest of the Biden cabinet 1.00

00:08:21.080 secretaries are a disaster too. Notably the secretary of state, Antony Blinken, who cannot

00:08:27.960 give a straight answer on what exactly we're seeing go on in Ukraine.

00:08:32.500 The International Criminal Court is opening an investigation into Russian war crimes. The U.S.

00:08:37.040 embassy said it's a war crime to attack a nuclear power plant. They tweeted that out, the U.S.

00:08:42.020 embassy in Kiev. But then the State Department told other embassies around the world to not retweet it,

00:08:48.640 which is a confusing step. Has the U.S. seen evidence that Russia is committing war crimes or not?

00:08:53.820 Jake, we've seen very credible reports of deliberate attacks on civilians, which would constitute

00:09:02.340 a war crime. We've seen very credible reports about the use of certain weapons. And what we're 0.97

00:09:09.740 doing right now is documenting all of this, putting it all together, looking at it and making sure that

00:09:15.940 as people and the appropriate organizations and institutions investigate whether war crimes have

00:09:23.000 been or are being committed, that we can support whatever they're doing. So right now, we're

00:09:30.520 looking at these reports. They're very credible and we're documenting everything.

00:09:34.800 So Putin right now is committing war crimes in Ukraine. Putin is Hitler, right? That's what we've

00:09:42.220 heard from the liberal establishment. Putin is Hitler. History has returned again. He's invading his 0.95

00:09:47.940 neighbor. He's going to invade the rest of these countries. And we've got to stop him because he's

00:09:52.500 Hitler and he's committing war crimes. But also, we shouldn't do anything. This has been the central 0.88

00:09:58.680 problem for the administration and the entire liberal establishment with this Putin war in

00:10:05.280 Ukraine. They can't decide what it is. Is he Hitler? If he's Hitler, I guess we better use the military to 0.86

00:10:11.360 stop him, right? Because he's Hitler. Well, no. He's Hitler for the purposes of pushing through some 0.83

00:10:18.140 sanctions. But he's not Hitler. He's not a big threat. And he's committing war crimes. But we're 0.77

00:10:23.620 not going to really pursue the war crimes. And what is it? The administration is just vacillating

00:10:29.660 because they don't want to make any of the hard choices. They don't want to go to war. The American

00:10:34.920 people, I don't think, want to go to war over Ukraine. And so they just go back and forth. We're

00:10:41.420 going to take the sanctions off Russia. We're going to put more sanctions on Russia. You go back and

00:10:45.080 forth and back and forth. But if you stand in the middle of the road, you're going to get hit by a

00:10:48.080 truck. Sometimes the wrong decision is actually better than indecision. Sometimes the wrong

00:10:53.020 decision can at least clarify the situation. But if you just keep going back and forth, yes,

00:10:56.860 we have clear evidence he's committing war crimes. But we're not going to do anything. We're just going

00:11:00.300 to keep committing evidence or collecting evidence. He's committing war crimes, dude. Maybe we should do 0.98

00:11:05.380 something about it unless you don't really believe that. Unless you're just stuck. Unless this

00:11:11.240 administration is just stuck. They've got no answers for anything. Kamala Harris gets asked,

00:11:15.580 what are you going to do about this very acute particular energy crisis? And she says, just

00:11:19.800 imagine, you know, just imagine and close your eyes and imagine. And that's what's going to happen.

00:11:25.240 What do you talk? Daydreams are not national policy, darling. You need to, you need to do stuff.

00:11:31.140 Hey guys, transportation, I'm basically like Rosa Parks. Okay, Rosa, fix the roads then.

00:11:36.960 Hey Martin, how about you get the trucks moving again and get the ports emptied out so that we get

00:11:41.180 our consumer goods? They can't do it. It's all this pie in the sky rhetoric about how wonderful and

00:11:45.920 great they all are, but they're not willing to actually do anything in practice. Now, when you

00:11:50.460 need to do stuff specifically to your car, I strongly recommend you check out Rock Auto.

00:11:55.700 Right now, head on over to rockauto.com, fill in Knowles in the how did you hear about us box.

00:12:01.400 Why would you spend 30% more, 50% more, 100% more for the same auto parts at the brick and mortar store

00:12:18.080 even I can do it. It's a family business, been serving auto parts customers online for 20 years.

00:12:23.900 Saves you all that time. You don't need to drive to the store. Then you get out, then they pepper you

00:12:27.940 with questions. Then they go in the back to get the part. They don't have the part. There's just

00:12:31.000 too many makes and models these days. They have to order it in. You have to wait. It's all that time.

00:12:34.500 Don't do it. Go to rockauto.com. No gimmicks, no special save 28% at 2 a.m. No, it's just always

00:12:41.800 reliably low prices. The same prices for pros and do-it-yourselfers. Rockauto.com. Head on over

00:12:53.200 write Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S in there. How did you hear about us box? So they know that we sent you.

00:12:59.500 The one change that we've seen now with regard to this war in Ukraine in terms of U.S. policy

00:13:04.920 is the United States, which has said, we're not getting involved. We don't want a no-fly zone.

00:13:09.680 We don't, we're not going to take on Russia's military. They did, however, just agree to send 0.93

00:13:14.540 NATO fighter planes to Ukraine. What more can the United States do here? If, for instance,

00:13:21.500 the Polish government, a NATO member wants to send fighter jets, does that get a green light

00:13:27.240 from the U.S., or are you afraid that that will escalate tension? No, that gets a green light.

00:13:32.840 In fact, we're talking with our Polish friends right now about what we might be able to do to

00:13:38.100 backfill their needs if, in fact, they choose to provide these fighter jets to the Ukrainians.

00:13:43.680 So, hold on. We're not going to go to war. We're not going to send our planes over there,

00:13:50.780 but we're going to have the Poles send their planes, and then we're going to backfill the

00:13:56.220 Polish planes. So, effectively, we are sending our jets there. We're just doing it in a really 0.99

00:14:03.600 inefficient way. We're having the Poles send the jets, and then we're giving the Poles some jets. 1.00

00:14:07.760 Again and again, they want to have their cake and eat it, too. They want to be too clever by half.

00:14:13.940 Well, too clever by half got us into this situation in the first place. What do the

00:14:18.220 American people want? According to one poll from Reuters, almost three-quarters of Americans

00:14:23.000 want a no-fly zone in Russia. But I don't believe that for one second. I think it's the same exact 0.95

00:14:28.980 problem that the Biden administration has, which is we like the idea of a no-fly zone.

00:14:34.780 We like, oh, good. Yeah, get those Russian airplanes out of the sky. Yeah, let's have a 1.00

00:14:38.840 no-fly zone because it's bad that people are being hurt right now. So, let's stop the people

00:14:42.960 from being hurt, and no-fly zone, and okay, we're good. I don't think most people know what a no-fly

00:14:49.340 zone is. No-fly zone is you're at war. A no-fly zone is Russia sends their airplanes up in the sky,

00:14:57.380 and we shoot those airplanes out of the sky. So, we are directly firing upon a nuclear former 0.96

00:15:02.860 superpower. We somehow managed to get through the entire Cold War, basically without any direct

00:15:08.120 action between Americans and Russians, no direct action that people acknowledged for a very long

00:15:12.380 time. And now, we're just going to shoot them out of the sky over a centuries-long territorial dispute 0.79

00:15:19.460 with Ukraine? Doesn't seem like the best idea in the world. Rubio made this point, too. Rubio said,

00:15:25.480 a no-fly zone means war. Do you want to go to war? Do you want to go to World War III? I don't think

00:15:29.860 so. And I think Zelensky, the head of Ukraine, has sort of given up on this. Actually, you know how

00:15:34.680 much I hate to say I told you so? You know it pains me to do it, but I've got to do it, unfortunately,

00:15:39.140 because I keep getting proved right on all of these things. So, I have said, for weeks now,

00:15:43.820 I said, Joe Biden caused this war. Yes, Putin is the aggressor. Yes, Putin is morally responsible

00:15:49.220 for the invasion. But Putin has wanted to invade Ukraine for a very long time. The reason he's doing

00:15:54.260 it now is because of very specific actions that Joe Biden took, and some that he didn't take,

00:15:58.820 actually, with regard to sanctions. And I said this, and I got a lot of criticism for it.

00:16:03.760 I said, look, this is just true. What is happening right now is playing out because of Joe Biden.

00:16:07.820 Well, you know who agrees with me? The Libs hero, Mr. Zelensky, Volodymyr Zelensky, the leader of

00:16:14.800 Ukraine. He just told senators in the United States that if the US had started sanctions months ago,

00:16:20.800 as conservatives wanted, as Ted Cruz was pushing, there would not have been war. He says,

00:16:26.280 you tell me 100% that there will be war in a few days' time. What are you waiting for? We will not

00:16:30.540 need your sanctions after there's a bombardment or after our state is shot at, or if we have no more

00:16:36.200 borders, we do not have an economy, or parts of our state are occupied. This is exactly what we had

00:16:44.040 been saying. Joe Biden is the one in charge of the sanctions. And the Democrats run the entire

00:16:50.260 government at this point. You had bipartisan support for sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 Russian

00:16:56.080 oil pipeline before Biden gets into office. Biden makes it a big push to get rid of those sanctions.

00:17:01.640 And what happens? He invades Ukraine. I hate how right I am. Now, look, Putin has faced some pushback

00:17:10.360 from the fighting among, from the Ukrainians against the Russian forces. He's faced some pushback from the

00:17:15.600 international community, from nation states, and from corporations. But now I think he's just finished.

00:17:21.760 Now he's done. Putin's over. And you'll know why he's over if you watched the 2022 Independent Spirit

00:17:31.100 Awards a couple of nights ago, where Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally, okay, you remember Nick Offerman

00:17:38.780 was the guy from Parks and Rec, and Megan Mullally was the saucy lady on Will and Grace. They told Putin 0.88

00:17:48.480 to F off. Done. Over. No more war. The war is over now. They said, quote, I think we speak for everyone

00:17:56.780 here when we say we were hoping for a quick and peaceful resolution. Specifically, F off and go home,

00:18:03.000 Putin. F off Putin. They said they were going to send Putin off with a Spirit Awards salute. 0.99

00:18:08.080 And then Mullally and her husband held up their middle fingers to the camera. That'll do it.

00:18:14.720 Oh, man, I bet Putin hasn't recovered from that. It's been two days. That's right. You go, girl. You 0.55

00:18:21.200 tell him. You know, well-behaved women seldom make history, okay? That'll do it. A bunch of liberal 1.00

00:18:29.120 actors whining in a room, that's going to stop it. Frankly, it's about as effective as the Biden

00:18:35.840 administration's policy has been. It's just people trying to make themselves feel better,

00:18:40.480 but without wanting to do anything that involves cost. Okay, I'm going to change my Facebook profile

00:18:46.320 picture. Now it's going to be blue and yellow. That'll show Putin. Yeah, I'm going to put the

00:18:51.960 Ukrainian flag in my Twitter handle. Yeah, that'll show Putin. Hey, I'm going to tell Putin to F off.

00:19:00.920 Yeah, that'll know. Do you know what would have showed him? If we had killed the oil pipeline

00:19:08.400 before he invaded, that would have showed him. Or if, and I'm not advocating this, if we had

00:19:14.440 sent troops in, that would have showed him. Or if we had taken a harder line on him for the entire

00:19:21.400 Biden administration, that would have shown him. F off, change your Facebook profile picture.

00:19:27.100 That doesn't show him. That doesn't show him anything. It tries to make you feel better

00:19:32.620 about the fact that we're not really doing anything in Ukraine. Well-behaved women seldom 1.00

00:19:38.900 make history. Do you know today is International Women's Day? And I was thinking about that phrase,

00:19:44.680 which is so common now. We hear this all the time. We hear this, you know, when Trump called

00:19:50.480 Hillary Clinton a nasty woman during the 2016 presidential election, then all of these feminist 1.00

00:19:56.420 ladies, they said, yeah, I'm nasty. Yeah, I'm a disgusting, filthy, nasty woman. Yeah, 1.00

00:20:01.280 that's girl power. Well-behaved women seldom make history. So I thought about that phrase. 0.99

00:20:06.960 You know, it's not true. Actually, the women who make history are usually pretty well-behaved. 1.00

00:20:15.220 I'm thinking in no particular order. Queen Victoria, Margaret Thatcher, Sandra Day O'Connor,

00:20:21.840 Mother Teresa, the Virgin Mary, that would be the clearest example, Florence Nightingale,

00:20:30.420 just on and on and on and on. Queen Elizabeth II, she's the most well-behaved woman in history,

00:20:37.700 probably. And one of the most important historical figures alive today. The will, it's, you know,

00:20:43.780 someone said in response, well, what about Hillary Clinton? Oh, you're talking about the first female 0.99

00:20:49.960 pro. Oh, right. Oops. That's right. Yeah. But what about, you know, all those feminists from the 1.00

00:20:56.420 seventies who, you know, what about Jane Fonda or something? Oh yeah, really? Yeah. Queen Victoria,

00:21:01.920 Jane Fonda. I don't, I think one was probably more significant to history than the other.

00:21:08.320 So happy International Women's Day. Be a well-behaved woman. If you are a woman,

00:21:13.180 be a well-behaved woman. You have a better chance of making history. Do not be a nasty woman. No one

00:21:17.920 wants to, to see a nasty woman. Now, speaking of men and women and all sorts of strange sexual 0.99

00:21:24.800 ideologies, this might be the story on which I have been proven right the fastest ever. This shocked

00:21:35.140 even me. Yesterday on the show, I mentioned that a lot of people think, look, with this LGBT ideology

00:21:42.720 now, people think not everything has to be gay. And I said, everything does have to be gay because 0.85

00:21:47.700 the left's ideology is one of radical liberation. And now they've liberated themselves from traditions

00:21:53.240 and from bonds of community. And now we're liberating ourselves from nature itself. So men can

00:21:58.300 be women and vice versa. Everything does in fact have to be gay. And the Florida Senate Democrat, 0.99

00:22:05.120 the Florida Senate Democrats, they said, we've just got one thing to say.

00:22:35.120 And you're right. You do. That's the only thing you have to say. Gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, 0.71

00:22:38.780 gay, gay. That's all you've got. What else are you going to say? That's the, that's the, the final 1.00

00:22:45.040 step in the emancipation and liberation from all the constrictions of our society is to emancipate

00:22:52.260 yourself from nature. So even beyond gay, it's sort of, sort of like how Alex Jones talked about how

00:22:57.720 they turned the fricking frogs gay, but they actually turned the frogs trans. That's what the studies 0.98

00:23:01.620 showed. So the frogs were hermaphrodites. Really the final step in the LGBT ideology is the tea, 1.00

00:23:07.780 is emancipating yourself from nature itself. Proven, I hate, you know, I hate to say it. It

00:23:13.640 kills me to do it. Proven right within 24 hours. That's not bad. Now I have to tell you, since I've

00:23:20.360 got a pretty good record this week, you cannot miss our movie, The Hyperions. It's premiering

00:23:24.440 this Thursday night, March 10th. We can't wait to share it with you. It's exactly what entertainment

00:23:28.920 in Hollywood is missing these days. It's not woke. It has zero underlying political message.

00:23:33.180 It's just fun. Because when it comes to entertainment, that is what really matters.

00:23:36.760 Check out the trailer.

00:23:39.080 My name is Vista Mandelbaum.

00:23:50.260 My brother and I have taken four hostages.

00:23:53.400 Everybody against the wall.

00:23:54.700 We've come for one thing.

00:23:57.000 Our Titan badges.

00:23:58.920 Is this real?

00:24:00.640 Yes, ma'am.

00:24:01.180 This is real.

00:24:01.660 Is my sign in this?

00:24:02.900 Well, I want that too.

00:24:04.480 It's the police. They want to talk to whoever's in charge.

00:24:09.280 This Titan badge can grant an individual superhuman power.

00:24:13.800 Perhaps it's time for someone else to take on the responsibility.

00:24:18.400 Meet Apollo.

00:24:24.460 I'd recommend next time using your power.

00:24:26.660 I mean, yeah, if you think so.

00:24:29.380 Calling all Hyperions.

00:24:32.120 On my way.

00:24:33.920 You're making such a mess in here.

00:24:36.480 We've got a Hyperion en route. 1.00

00:24:38.380 Not a good time to look stupid. 1.00

00:24:42.560 Shots fired! 1.00

00:24:43.340 God, come on.

00:24:44.760 Give me my gun.

00:24:46.680 Suit up for adventure.

00:24:54.820 She's trying to destroy me. 0.99

00:25:00.480 Next question.

00:25:01.520 How's the family?

00:25:02.640 The family is, um, gosh, what is it?

00:25:07.920 Marvelous.

00:25:08.360 We're going to be streaming the movie once on March 10th for all of YouTube Deceived,

00:25:19.320 so be sure to head on over to the Daily Wire YouTube channel.

00:25:22.220 Set a reminder for the live showing.

00:25:24.000 After that, you've got to be a member to get in on the action.

00:25:26.800 So head on over to dailywire.com slash subscribe

00:25:28.820 so you don't miss any more of the growing cache of content we have to offer.

00:25:33.240 We'll be right back with a lot more.

00:25:34.400 Great news out of Texas.

00:25:48.440 Speaking of the T in LGBT, 1.00

00:25:51.160 America's largest pediatric hospital is going to stop transing the kids. 1.00

00:25:56.600 So previously, this pediatric hospital,

00:25:59.380 this is the Texas Children's Hospital,

00:26:01.140 was transing the kids and chopping them up 1.00

00:26:03.640 and putting them on all sorts of creepy chemicals.

00:26:05.400 And it's just, it was horrible and a horrible abuse of children.

00:26:09.740 And then Texas Governor Greg Abbott, uh, came in there and he said,

00:26:13.420 uh, no, we're, we're going to classify transing the kids as child abuse, 1.00

00:26:17.580 which it obviously is.

00:26:19.020 And so you got to stop doing it.

00:26:20.740 And then this hospital said,

00:26:23.140 the mission of Texas Children's Hospital

00:26:25.860 is to create a healthier future for all children,

00:26:27.960 including transgender children,

00:26:29.240 within the bounds of the law.

00:26:31.160 This step was taken to safeguard our healthcare professionals

00:26:33.880 and impacted families from potential criminal legal ramifications.

00:26:38.020 Love this.

00:26:38.820 This is a great example of culture being downstream of politics.

00:26:43.800 I frankly don't think that the distinction between culture and politics is all that clear.

00:26:50.180 But, you know, there's this famous line from Andrew Breitbart,

00:26:53.280 politics is downstream of culture.

00:26:54.580 And obviously there's some truth to this because the movies and the media and,

00:26:58.640 and rituals and behaviors that are not necessarily associated with the government

00:27:03.720 can shape our political order.

00:27:06.000 But it is also true that laws will shape our culture.

00:27:10.220 When you outlaw something,

00:27:12.380 generally speaking,

00:27:13.420 you get less of it.

00:27:14.560 You discourage it.

00:27:15.700 When you subsidize something,

00:27:17.480 generally speaking,

00:27:18.500 you get more of it.

00:27:19.620 When you create other incentives for certain behaviors,

00:27:24.580 such as the promotion of radical sexual ideologies in the law,

00:27:28.060 then you get more of them.

00:27:29.600 And when you ban abusive surgeries like transing the kids, 0.99

00:27:34.180 you get less of it.

00:27:35.380 This is great stuff.

00:27:36.260 I'm very glad the hospital stopped it.

00:27:38.060 Very glad that the Texas governor pushed it this way.

00:27:41.280 You're seeing a proliferation of radical ideology throughout non-governmental institutions.

00:27:51.380 So in this hospital,

00:27:52.740 this hospital's transing the kids, 0.94

00:27:54.740 that is a radical ideology that's being pushed not exactly by the government, right?

00:28:00.360 The hospital has some connection to the government,

00:28:03.020 but it's also sort of private.

00:28:04.660 And it was pushing this ideology.

00:28:07.660 Pizza Hut is pushing another radical ideology.

00:28:10.000 Pizza Hut, through the Pizza Hut Foundation,

00:28:13.780 is pushing critical race theory.

00:28:16.160 They are presenting training pamphlets for teachers

00:28:18.300 that make statements such as,

00:28:20.340 quote,

00:28:20.620 racism exists within and beyond schools and communities of learning.

00:28:25.320 The myth of a racial hierarchy remains a dominant part of America's culture.

00:28:29.160 Acts of violence against black communities are often identified on social media

00:28:33.560 by the hashtag Black Lives Matter.

00:28:36.380 You know, all of these,

00:28:37.680 you know, this epidemic. 0.99

00:28:38.540 Black men can't even walk out their doors without being hunted down, 1.00

00:28:41.460 says LeBron James. 0.99

00:28:43.380 Pizza Hut. 1.00

00:28:44.220 Pizza Hut is pushing this crap. 1.00

00:28:46.800 Pizza Hut. 1.00

00:28:47.480 The silence of Little Caesars is deafening.

00:28:51.020 When will Little Caesars speak up against racism or whatever?

00:28:56.560 Pizza Hut.

00:28:56.820 Why is Pizza Hut doing this?

00:28:58.160 Well, because Pizza Hut has this non-profit foundation,

00:29:00.900 a non-governmental non-profit foundation,

00:29:03.100 which is pushing this radicalism.

00:29:06.920 We don't have a vote in what Pizza Hut does.

00:29:10.000 Right?

00:29:10.160 Pizza Hut is not a democratic institution.

00:29:13.700 And it's not exactly affiliated with the government.

00:29:16.080 But this is how the liberal establishment rules. 0.98

00:29:18.200 They rule through a series of NGOs and non-profit groups that push their crap that are basically 0.97

00:29:25.940 insulated from the political process for now. 0.95

00:29:28.880 And they should not be.

00:29:29.640 We should use the political process to bring them into line.

00:29:34.900 I don't care if it is the government destroying my way of life and completely upending America's

00:29:42.120 society or if it's some corporation.

00:29:45.300 Okay?

00:29:45.920 If someone is treading on me to give the image of the Gadsden flag,

00:29:50.280 it doesn't make me feel any better if the organization that is treading on me is Google.

00:29:55.520 Okay?

00:29:55.820 It doesn't make me feel any better if it's Facebook taking away my rights and my liberties

00:29:59.900 and my way of life rather than the government say.

00:30:04.460 We've got to get better about this as conservatives. 1.00

00:30:07.140 We, for a couple of decades, fell into this very stupid idea of, 0.99

00:30:10.980 well, you know, Google's a private company. 0.99

00:30:12.900 They have the right to do whatever they want.

00:30:14.300 Twitter, build your own Twitter, right?

00:30:15.980 As though that has ever worked.

00:30:18.120 If you go back to the early days of the modern conservative movement,

00:30:22.700 frankly, if you go back to some of the most libertarian figures in the conservative movement,

00:30:28.620 they were advocating not just focusing on the government and letting quote unquote private

00:30:33.580 industry do whatever they want.

00:30:35.220 They were advocating bringing private enterprise into line as well.

00:30:40.980 Barry Goldwater as, for Mr. Conservative at the early days of the conservative movement

00:30:46.480 and also extremely libertarian in that early alliance between the libertarians and the

00:30:52.280 traditional conservatives.

00:30:53.720 Barry Goldwater wrote in Conscience of a Conservative, quote,

00:30:56.200 Yeah, man, that's good stuff.

00:31:13.440 That's clear thinking.

00:31:16.160 Of course, we're not going to just let random NGOs and very powerful corporations completely

00:31:24.580 upend our society and just throw our hands in the air and say, well, they're private industry.

00:31:29.540 Well, they're private organizations.

00:31:31.000 No, we're going to fight back.

00:31:32.560 And we're going to use the political order to do it in a way that is just and fair.

00:31:36.220 But we've got to fight back.

00:31:37.600 Speaking of powerful non-governmental organizations, guess who's back in town?

00:31:45.360 The Clinton Global Initiative.

00:31:47.640 You remember that?

00:31:48.380 The Clinton Global Initiative was a slush fund for the Clinton family to collect money from all sorts of

00:31:57.040 shady figures overseas and spend it as they see fit on the global initiative.

00:32:02.920 And it was so crooked, it was so obviously crooked that Hillary shut it down in 2016

00:32:09.480 because it looked like such a clear conflict of interest that they couldn't keep it running.

00:32:16.760 One of the curious facts about the Clinton Global Initiative is that the number one donor

00:32:20.840 to the Clinton Global Initiative was Ukraine.

00:32:24.160 I'm not saying it was the government of Ukraine.

00:32:26.000 I'm saying it was Ukrainians, Ukrainians who had a lot of money.

00:32:30.120 And they gave a lot of money to the Clintons and that was that.

00:32:36.260 They probably didn't want anything in return.

00:32:38.100 This was in no way a quid pro quo.

00:32:39.580 They're just really generous and they really, for some reason, liked the Clintons and they

00:32:44.580 gave her a lot of money.

00:32:46.160 Now, why did people really give to the Clinton Global Initiative and the Clinton Foundation

00:32:49.980 for that matter?

00:32:50.960 They gave to it because they believed that Hillary Clinton was going to be the president.

00:32:56.400 And so they wanted to curry favor and they did that by just buying them outright.

00:33:02.240 And then in 2016, it looked so bad that they shut it down.

00:33:06.700 So what does it mean that they're opening it up again?

00:33:10.040 Well, one, it's pretty interesting that the Clinton Global Initiative that had such a connection

00:33:15.840 to Ukraine is relaunching now at this moment of peril for Ukraine.

00:33:20.140 It's just a strange coincidence.

00:33:21.380 But two, and this is more important, I think, what this means is not necessarily that Hillary

00:33:28.920 Clinton is running for president in 2024, but it means that the Clintons believe that people

00:33:36.880 think Hillary is running for president in 2024. 0.99

00:33:40.080 The only reason that the Clinton Global Initiative ever got money is because foreigners believed that

00:33:50.120 Hillary Clinton was going to be the president. 0.98

00:33:52.800 Okay.

00:33:54.280 People, even Americans, believed she was going to be the president and so they were purchasing favor.

00:33:59.420 Now, it may well be the case that Hillary is not going to run and she's just reopening this thing to 1.00

00:34:03.560 make a little bit of money.

00:34:04.580 But the only way that it could make money is if people think she's running. 1.00

00:34:09.120 So at the very least, the Clintons are creating the impression that she will be running in 2024 and

00:34:14.900 she probably should.

00:34:17.380 Kamala Harris is a joke.

00:34:18.580 She's almost certainly going nowhere.

00:34:21.680 You know, well-behaved women never make history. 1.00

00:34:24.320 What's the line from Kamala?

00:34:25.380 She tried to make this line her sort of catchphrase.

00:34:28.520 She said, I'm not finished.

00:34:30.020 I'm not finished.

00:34:31.060 Remember, she was in that debate with Mike Pence.

00:34:32.540 Excuse me.

00:34:33.240 I'm not finished.

00:34:34.140 Well, I think 27% approval rating.

00:34:36.320 I think you might be finished.

00:34:37.480 I think you're finished.

00:34:39.740 So she's probably out.

00:34:41.620 Joe Biden doesn't know what day it is.

00:34:44.140 And Pete Buttigieg is a joke and he's probably the most attractive of the people in the Biden

00:34:48.480 administration.

00:34:49.360 So it does leave an opening for Hillary. 1.00

00:34:51.240 Hillary is still extremely unlikable, but compared to the presidents we elect these days, 1.00

00:34:54.980 she's a spring chicken. 1.00

00:34:56.140 She's pretty young.

00:34:57.840 And now she's raising some money and we'll see where it goes.

00:35:01.520 Speaking of guys running for president, one of the people who's making, taking the clearest

00:35:06.320 steps to run is Florida governor Ron DeSantis.

00:35:09.520 Ron DeSantis just had this bill which was going to kick crazy sexual theories out of elementary

00:35:14.880 schools. 0.98

00:35:15.380 That's why those Florida Senate Democrats were chanting through the hallways, gay, gay, gay, 0.99

00:35:19.340 gay, gay, gay, gay, gay. 0.99

00:35:20.240 Ron DeSantis was just asked about this bill. 0.99

00:35:24.480 He gave what I thought was a pitch perfect answer.

00:35:30.240 Does it say that in the bill?

00:35:34.600 Does it say that in the bill?

00:35:36.240 I'm asking you to tell me what's in the bill because you are pushing false narratives.

00:35:40.960 It doesn't matter what critics say.

00:35:42.420 Hold on.

00:35:42.660 It says it bans classroom instruction on sexual identity and gender orientation.

00:35:46.600 For who?

00:35:47.940 For grades pre-K through three.

00:35:50.900 Six-year-olds, seven-year-olds.

00:35:52.900 And the idea that you wouldn't be honest about that and tell people what it actually says,

00:35:58.820 it's why people don't trust people like you because you peddle false narratives.

00:36:02.980 And so we disabuse you of those narratives.

00:36:09.080 And we're going to make sure that parents are able to send their kid to kindergarten

00:36:12.900 without having some of this stuff injected into their school curriculum.

00:36:17.680 I love that answer.

00:36:18.940 You immediately put it back on the media, which is, does it say that in the bill?

00:36:24.580 What does it say in the bill?

00:36:25.600 And this reporter used one of the cheapest tricks in the book. 0.93

00:36:28.560 And some critics are saying that it's a don't say gay pill.

00:36:33.100 Some critics. 0.81

00:36:33.740 Oh, who are the critics?

00:36:35.100 Name me the critics.

00:36:36.140 Some people say, no, you're the critic.

00:36:38.200 You're the one saying.

00:36:39.060 So, okay, you defend your proposition then.

00:36:42.340 Where does it say that in the bill?

00:36:43.700 Oh, it doesn't.

00:36:44.620 Well, in the bill it says you can't talk about sexual identity and weird, creepy sex behavior.

00:36:50.020 Right. 0.92

00:36:50.380 For five-year-olds, you creep.

00:36:53.360 Five-year-olds. 0.96

00:36:54.260 Yeah, five-year-olds shouldn't be learning about all the decadent, debauched, deviant sexual desires 0.99

00:37:02.400 that people like you in the media have in your head. 0.98

00:37:05.500 Yeah, obviously.

00:37:06.760 And so, the reason I bring this up, though, is DeSantis is getting better at this.

00:37:11.760 He was already pretty good, but he's getting much better.

00:37:14.320 He's obviously running for president.

00:37:17.060 And he's running on cultural issues.

00:37:21.480 He's not running away from cultural issues.

00:37:24.280 He's running on them.

00:37:26.600 And specifically on education, which is a smart bet because that's what got Glenn Youngkin elected

00:37:31.900 in Virginia.

00:37:32.880 This education issue is something that can really spread across partisan lines.

00:37:38.460 It can get some liberals. 0.59

00:37:39.580 It can get some independents.

00:37:40.900 People who don't want their kids being taught creepy, radical ideologies on race and sex.

00:37:46.000 Now, on the other side of that, you've got the allegedly Republican governor of Utah, Spencer

00:37:52.960 Cox, who has just vowed to veto a sports bill that would keep men out of the women's league.

00:38:01.940 So, he's going to veto a bill that would point out that transgenderism is completely kooky 1.00

00:38:07.360 and we're going to allow women to have their own sports leagues. 1.00

00:38:10.840 House Bill 11 would require student athletes participate in sports based on their sex,

00:38:17.260 not based on their delusions.

00:38:19.620 And it passed the Utah Senate on Friday, passed the state legislature in February.

00:38:26.200 And this quote unquote Republican governor of Utah, Spencer Cox, said, I just want them

00:38:31.020 to know that it's going to be okay, talking about transgender students.

00:38:34.200 We're going to work through this.

00:38:35.480 And he's, he's vowing to veto the bill.

00:38:41.520 With Republicans like this, who needs Democrats?

00:38:46.440 I don't know.

00:38:47.380 Now, look, Spencer Cox, he might cut taxes.

00:38:49.640 Great.

00:38:49.940 That's cool.

00:38:50.540 I'm glad he's cutting taxes.

00:38:52.040 He might deregulate some industry.

00:38:54.400 Okay, fine.

00:38:55.420 Whatever.

00:38:55.680 If, if you don't understand this issue, if you don't, if you are unwilling to stand up

00:39:04.520 for the fact that men and women are different, and you're, if you're unwilling to make that 0.99

00:39:09.380 claim in public life, you are completely useless. 1.00

00:39:12.420 You're worse than useless. 1.00

00:39:13.800 You should be kicked out of the Republican Party. 1.00

00:39:16.000 I don't care.

00:39:16.940 Elect a Democrat at that point.

00:39:18.460 I don't, I guess my taxes will go up a little bit.

00:39:20.300 But this is so fundamental. 1.00

00:39:24.840 And I suspect, look, either this guy's just an idiot who doesn't realize that men and women 1.00

00:39:28.320 are different, or he's a coward. 1.00

00:39:31.620 And he believes that, well, the social issues aren't going to play very well.

00:39:36.760 And never mind that Utah is basically the most conservative state in the entire country.

00:39:41.180 No, I got to back away from the social issues.

00:39:43.840 Buddy, buddy, you're living in the 90s.

00:39:46.940 You're living in the early 2000s.

00:39:48.820 You're forgetting that right now, the social issues are winners for conservatives.

00:39:54.680 Never mind that it's true.

00:39:56.200 Never mind that it's the right thing to do to keep men out of the women's locker rooms. 1.00

00:40:01.620 Talk about calling someone a conservative.

00:40:03.480 You can't even conserve the women's bathroom, the women's locker room. 1.00

00:40:06.820 But it's also a political winner for conservatives.

00:40:11.720 Speaking of romance, speaking of men and women, I got to get to a story that I care about an unreasonable amount.

00:40:22.340 It's the love triangle between Kanye and Kim Kardashian and Pete Skeet Davidson.

00:40:33.000 Kanye and Kim Kardashian were married.

00:40:36.900 They have four children together.

00:40:39.380 Then Kim wanted to dissolve the marriage. 1.00

00:40:43.300 Kanye didn't want to dissolve the marriage.

00:40:44.980 Kim started dating this guy, this not very good looking guy from Saturday Night Live who somehow has dated all of the hottest women in the world.

00:40:54.480 And Kanye is in trouble now because he made a music video in which he would appear to be attacking, physically attacking, Pete Davidson.

00:41:04.140 The cameras watch the kids, I stopped taking the credit.

00:41:07.720 Not custodial dad, I bought the house next door.

00:41:10.920 What you think the point of really being rich for?

00:41:13.740 When you give them everything, they only want more.

00:41:16.780 Bougie and a ruler, y'all need to do some chores. 1.00

00:41:19.640 Rich ass kids, this ain't your mama house. 1.00

00:41:21.840 Climb on your brother's shoulders, get that top ramen out. 0.99

00:41:25.100 God, save me from that crash. 1.00

00:41:27.120 Just so I could beat Pete Davidson's ass. 1.00

00:41:29.660 Who? 1.00

00:41:30.840 And my new big bad.

00:41:32.400 So you get the idea.

00:41:35.020 It goes on and on and he's got this little claymation figure of, of the man who took his wife from him.

00:41:40.800 And he's, you know, sort of attacking the little, the little figure.

00:41:44.420 So Kanye is in hot water here.

00:41:46.560 They say, this is wrong.

00:41:47.500 You shouldn't threaten this man.

00:41:48.660 It's terrible.

00:41:49.300 This is awful stuff.

00:41:50.260 And Kanye, for his part, he said, look, art is simply therapy.

00:41:54.600 Just like this view.

00:41:55.780 Art is protected as freedom of speech.

00:41:57.840 Art inspires and simplifies the world.

00:41:59.680 Art is not a proxy for any ill or harm.

00:42:02.800 So he's saying, look, this is just art.

00:42:04.960 Okay, I'm making art.

00:42:05.960 I'm not, this is not a direct threat.

00:42:07.240 I'm not going to go kill Pete Davidson. 0.99

00:42:08.620 Even though I said that God saved me from the crash just so I could beat Pete Davidson's derriere. 0.98

00:42:14.520 Uh, I, I don't, I don't really mean it. 0.94

00:42:17.120 It's just art.

00:42:18.440 And now a lot of libs are rallying to Pete Davidson's side.

00:42:24.520 James Gunn, who is that, uh, fairly creepy film director.

00:42:30.640 He, he said, quote, for the record, Pete Davidson is one of the nicest, sweetest guys I know.

00:42:35.680 A truly generous, tender, and funny spirit.

00:42:38.280 And he treats everyone around him with respect.

00:42:43.020 He stole a dude's wife. 0.96

00:42:45.340 He stole a dude's wife with whom that dude has four children.

00:42:49.880 That's not very nice.

00:42:51.620 That's not generous.

00:42:53.160 That's not respectful.

00:42:54.480 That's not the right thing to do.

00:42:57.720 Kim and Kanye, I don't even think they're divorced yet.

00:42:59.940 And he's stole this man's wife as this man is trying to put his family back together.

00:43:04.600 That's not a good thing to do.

00:43:05.520 This is why I care about the story so much.

00:43:08.280 I, I know I shouldn't care that much about Kanye and Kim Kardashian, but I do, I do,

00:43:13.620 because it's just wrong.

00:43:15.840 You've got this situation where you've got a reality TV star and she's married to this

00:43:22.400 sort of pop culture genius who is, I believe, bipolar.

00:43:27.900 He's got some psychological struggles that he deals with.

00:43:31.400 And, but he's, he also converted to Christianity.

00:43:35.320 He also is just somewhat more conservative than most people in his industry.

00:43:40.480 So a lot of the things that Kanye will say and do that people call totally crazy are actually

00:43:46.240 just normal behavior for a lot of Americans.

00:43:49.440 Like when he said, Hey, I like what Trump's doing.

00:43:51.100 I like, I, you know, he puts the MAGA hat on. 0.79

00:43:52.920 They say, he's gone crazy. 0.94

00:43:54.080 He's lost his mind.

00:43:55.120 Uh, you know, half the country supported the MAGA hat, buddy. 0.93

00:43:58.220 It's not, that's not evidence that you're schizophrenic or something like that.

00:44:01.740 Okay.

00:44:02.060 It's just that the left pathologizes any behavior that is in any way conservative.

00:44:06.480 They've been doing this for years.

00:44:07.500 Lionel Trilling once said many decades ago that conservatism is nothing more than a series

00:44:12.140 of irritable mental gestures.

00:44:13.820 Okay.

00:44:14.000 So that's, but, but sure, Kanye has got some problems. 0.98

00:44:17.100 He's, he's got some mental sicknesses.

00:44:21.500 Well, what happened to I, Kim, take the Kanye for my husband to have and to hold in good times

00:44:28.920 and bad and sickness and in health, unless that sickness is a mental sickness, in which

00:44:32.940 case, see you later, buddy. 0.99

00:44:34.340 Sayonara, sucker. 0.99

00:44:35.260 I'm going to go hang with the child from Saturday Night Live. 1.00

00:44:38.500 No, no, man.

00:44:40.000 That's not how you do it.

00:44:41.660 And the reason, the reason this story really strikes home for me is we've got plummeting

00:44:47.680 marriage rates.

00:44:48.520 Marriage as an institution is collapsing.

00:44:50.120 We even redefine marriage at the level of the Supreme Court.

00:44:52.760 And that's not good.

00:44:53.640 A society cannot survive without a sensible definition of the family and a strong family.

00:45:00.800 It can't do it.

00:45:01.360 The family is the bedrock political institution.

00:45:04.440 And it's just so sick to see a man steal this dude's wife.

00:45:08.520 And then the dude is trying to get his wife back because they've got four children together.

00:45:12.540 And then the woman, what did she say?

00:45:13.940 She said, she actually had a big spread in a Vogue or some popular magazine where she said,

00:45:18.980 my 40s are about me.

00:45:20.580 I don't care what other people want.

00:45:22.100 I'm just going to do what makes me feel good.

00:45:24.320 Oh, yeah, that's brave.

00:45:25.460 That's courageous.

00:45:26.520 Scar your four children. 0.75

00:45:27.640 That's a good idea.

00:45:28.460 Keep your four kids away from their daddy so that you can pursue your own interests.

00:45:33.500 Yeah, you know, well-behaved women seldom make history. 1.00

00:45:35.920 How about you just do your duty?

00:45:37.280 How about you just suck it up? 0.99

00:45:39.120 And yes, your husband is eccentric. 1.00

00:45:42.040 And maybe you're more attracted to the dirty looking guy from Saturday Night Live. 0.98

00:45:46.220 But tough, tough it out, man. 0.50

00:45:48.100 You know, it's not all about you.

00:45:49.580 Good grief.

00:45:50.580 Good grief.

00:45:51.320 Speaking of the family, more good news out of Florida.

00:45:55.020 Florida has just passed a 15-week abortion ban.

00:45:59.000 The measure prohibits women from receiving abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy.

00:46:02.620 It provides no exceptions.

00:46:04.880 You know, 15 weeks.

00:46:05.960 Sorry, that's that.

00:46:07.380 I guess it does provide an exception if the mother's life is in danger.

00:46:11.480 But it doesn't provide exceptions, you know, if the mother just says, well, you know, my mental health is in danger.

00:46:17.680 Well, my career is in danger.

00:46:19.320 No, that's not going to work.

00:46:21.180 You're not allowed to kill babies for that.

00:46:22.880 The reason that this law is passing now is in preparation for the Dobbs case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.

00:46:28.260 This is the case that could overrule Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey.

00:46:33.900 This is the same sort of bill that brought that case in the first place.

00:46:38.500 I think it's more evidence that the Republicans believe that the court very likely could overrule this.

00:46:48.220 But more importantly, it's evidence that the Republicans know that pro-life is a winner.

00:46:56.180 That the social issues are winners for them.

00:46:59.940 And this should be a warning to any Republican lawmakers or candidates who are listening to this show right now.

00:47:05.480 But you've had a couple examples of people, a few examples now, of conservatives running away from the so-called social issues.

00:47:12.600 Asa Hutchinson in Arkansas wouldn't sign on to a bill getting rid of transgenderism in sports. 0.99

00:47:19.680 Kristi Noem in South Dakota, although she ended up reversing course on that.

00:47:23.740 This guy, Spencer Cox in Utah, they're just running away from it.

00:47:26.740 Oh, we don't want the social issues.

00:47:27.860 The social issues are winners, okay?

00:47:32.260 The Democrats have nothing right now.

00:47:34.520 They've got no answers to anything.

00:47:37.280 They are, all they can do is spit out platitudes and weird rewrites of John Lennon songs.

00:47:43.680 You know, just imagine, imagine, imagine, man.

00:47:45.700 They're living in a fantasy world.

00:47:47.700 A fantasy world where babies aren't babies and men are really women.

00:47:50.540 And that fantasy world does not play well in Peoria.

00:47:54.080 Because in the real world here, things are not going well as a result of those delusions.

00:47:58.300 Run on the reality, Republicans.
