00:00:37.680 The Michael Knowles Public Health Protection Pledge just got a major boost on Capitol Hill yesterday.

00:00:43.680 You may recall, a month or so ago, I mentioned on this show that I would not vote for any candidate for federal office in November

00:00:51.560 that did not vote to subpoena Dr. Fauci and to take away his salary.

00:00:56.300 A congressional candidate in North Carolina, Beau Hines, took my off-the-cuff remark and wrote it up as a formal pledge,

00:01:04.260 at which point dozens of congressional candidates and sitting members signed it.

00:01:09.460 Then, a couple weeks ago, Arizona Congressman Paul Gosar entered my pledge almost verbatim as a formal House resolution,

00:01:17.620 meaning that sitting members of Congress could now sign on to co-sponsor the bill.

00:01:23.560 At this point, Dr. Fauci basically evaporated into thin air.

00:01:29.920 That once ubiquitous face, that folksy little voice, that pompous scientific smirk

00:01:37.580 that had dominated every media platform for two years, just gone, overnight.

00:01:44.740 The political winds had clearly shifted against Fauci, and he went into hiding.

00:01:49.420 The only thing that was lacking was support in the Senate, which we now have thanks to Senator Rand Paul.

00:01:58.700 Senator Paul has actually gone even further than my pledge called for.

00:02:03.220 He has proposed an amendment that would not only investigate Fauci and stop paying his salary,

00:02:08.560 but would abolish his position altogether.

00:02:11.300 The Paul amendment would reorganize Fauci's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases

00:02:17.100 into three separate research institutes, each with its own director,

00:02:22.340 removing entirely the ability of one power-hungry bureaucrat

00:02:27.140 to amass the kind of unprecedented power that Fauci took for himself during the COVID lockdowns.

00:02:32.880 This is excellent news.

00:02:35.880 We need to push this over the finish line.

00:02:38.200 Do not let the liberals fool you into thinking that they are done exercising the unprecedented power

00:02:44.860 that they took during COVID.

00:02:46.720 Do not let them fool you into thinking that they are done with COVID, period.

00:02:52.480 They have calmed down now because it's an election year,

00:02:55.340 and the COVID policies are destroying them at the polls.

00:02:58.740 But they've kept the TSA mask mandate.

00:03:02.220 They've kept Biden's national emergency declaration.

00:03:06.340 They've kept the same infrastructure in place to whip it all back up again

00:03:10.700 the minute the midterms are behind them.

00:03:13.800 Do not let them do it.

00:03:15.920 As we reach the official two-year mark of 15 days to slow the spread that's happening tomorrow,

00:03:23.380 call your congressman, call your senator,

00:03:26.080 and have them do everything they can to restore our way of life

00:03:30.920 and make sure that that little power-mad twerp and his technocrat buddies

00:03:35.840 never get the chance to shut your country down again.

00:03:40.540 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:03:41.400 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:03:49.020 Welcome back to the show.

00:03:50.180 My favorite comment yesterday is from Sakuraba86,

00:03:52.880 who says, I kind of miss Fauci because I absolutely miss Fauci's voice.

00:03:58.860 You're not going to miss him for long because they're going to bring him back

00:04:02.280 the minute that it is politically convenient for them to do so,

00:04:05.520 which will be after the midterm elections.

00:04:07.680 That will happen.

00:04:09.160 Do not think that Fauci is over.

00:04:10.660 Even though Fauci is 1,000 years old,

00:04:12.940 Fauci, or if by some chance he does retire,

00:04:16.460 let's say the Republicans win the House and Fauci retires

00:04:18.840 because the Republicans are going to act on the Michael Knowles Public Health Protection Pledge.

00:04:23.940 There's just going to be another Fauci.

00:04:25.400 The issue is structural.

00:04:27.160 He's a specifically and particularly bad dude,

00:04:30.380 but there's a structural issue too,

00:04:32.280 and they're going to bring it back.

00:04:33.640 They're already setting the stage to bring it back.

00:04:35.680 Do not let them do it.

00:04:37.260 We need to act for ourselves, okay?

00:04:40.820 If we want to protect our country,

00:04:42.280 we need to act for ourselves.

00:04:43.900 If we want to fix our cars,

00:04:45.140 we need to act for ourselves,

00:04:46.640 which is why I would recommend you check out rockauto.com.

00:04:49.740 Right now, head on over to rockauto.com

00:04:51.900 and write Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S in there.

00:05:04.520 driving to the brick and mortar auto parts store.

00:05:08.980 You're going to go in.

00:05:13.040 What model?

00:05:13.660 What this?

00:05:14.120 What that?

00:05:14.560 They're going to go in the back.

00:05:15.360 They're not going to have the part.

00:05:16.140 There's too many parts to stock these days.

00:05:17.880 And so they say,

00:05:18.320 we're going to have to order the part.

00:05:19.740 Okay, we'll let you know when it's in.

00:05:21.780 It's going to take what?

00:05:23.260 Four days, five days with the supply chain,

00:05:25.100 probably two weeks.

00:05:25.980 You drive back.

00:05:26.680 That's another 15 minutes.

00:05:27.420 You drive back to the store.

00:05:28.260 It's another 15 minutes.

00:05:29.080 You go and you buy.

00:05:29.700 Don't do it.

00:05:30.540 Oh, and then by the way,

00:05:47.880 Check out all those parts available

00:05:49.180 that you'll need for your car or truck.

00:05:50.840 Write Knowles, K-N-W-L-E-S,

00:05:52.280 in their How Did You Hear About Us box,

00:05:53.820 and tell them that we sent you.

00:05:56.000 I'm not the only one who is predicting

00:05:57.800 that Fauci is coming back.

00:05:59.880 I'm not the only one who is predicting

00:06:01.840 that the COVID lockdown biomedical security state

00:06:07.240 is coming back.

00:06:07.880 Do you know who else is predicting it?

00:06:09.160 America's governor, the governor of the freest state

00:06:14.360 probably in America, Ron DeSantis.

00:06:17.220 They want people to act like,

00:06:19.320 okay, we're just gonna, we're moving on.

00:06:22.340 The minute those elections are over,

00:06:24.980 they will impose mandates.

00:06:26.580 If they feel the need to do that,

00:06:28.720 they will impose restrictions.

00:06:30.180 And so that will happen if those types of people

00:06:33.260 are allowed to be put in power.

00:06:35.400 And so, you know, my view on that is they've put Fauci

00:06:39.440 in the witness protection program

00:06:41.220 because they don't want, because he will say,

00:06:44.080 you know, no, you still should wear a mask, this,

00:06:46.420 and he's never gonna say, be normal, go back to normal.

00:06:50.760 And so they know that,

00:06:51.860 and they know that that's not what people want.

00:06:54.280 People wanna be able to make decisions for themselves,

00:06:56.640 and there's nothing wrong if on an individual basis

00:06:58.880 you make a certain calculation.

00:07:00.500 That's fine.

00:07:00.980 And we encourage you to do that,

00:07:03.020 but it's wrong to mandate people and restrict people.

00:07:06.920 And that will happen, I guarantee you,

00:07:09.800 winter of 2022, any of those folks that are there,

00:07:13.860 you are gonna see that happen.

00:07:15.820 The only way to make sure it doesn't happen

00:07:17.940 is to have a nice, big, red wave.

00:07:21.980 So we'll see.

00:07:23.280 I was so glad to hear DeSantis say this,

00:07:25.540 because I have been yelling about this for months now,

00:07:30.200 even as COVID, as they start to get rid

00:07:32.360 of some of the mask mandates,

00:07:34.380 they loosen up a little bit on the vaccine mandates.

00:07:36.940 They put, as DeSantis says, Fauci into witness protection.

00:07:39.880 I said, guys, it's a trick.

00:07:41.300 It's a trap.

00:07:42.180 I sound like Admiral Ackbar.

00:07:43.320 Don't let them get away with it.

00:07:44.720 They shut your country down for two years.

00:07:46.520 Now they're seeing the consequences of that

00:07:48.300 reflected in their polls,

00:07:49.300 and they're trying to do a Jedi mind trick.

00:07:51.040 I don't know why there are all these

00:07:51.980 Star Wars metaphors here.

00:07:53.000 They're trying to use a mind trick

00:07:54.840 to make you forget about all that

00:07:57.020 and not hate them so much

00:07:58.500 when you go to the ballot box in November.

00:08:00.160 But they're not done with it.

00:08:01.460 They're leaving all of the infrastructure in place

00:08:04.620 to exercise this kind of power again.

00:08:07.420 And then you've got Ron DeSantis,

00:08:08.960 who is one of the shrewdest politicians

00:08:11.280 on the right in the entire country right now.

00:08:13.400 And he's saying the exact same thing.

00:08:15.560 He's saying, don't let them get away with it.

00:08:17.400 They are going to bring this guy back.

00:08:19.220 They're gonna bring the whole damn thing back

00:08:20.700 because it's very helpful to them.

00:08:23.560 Particularly when they're not in an election year.

00:08:25.840 When Biden first entered office,

00:08:28.040 he was underwater.

00:08:29.420 He had a little bit of a bump,

00:08:31.460 as new presidents do.

00:08:32.860 And then he was very quickly underwater

00:08:34.500 on every issue

00:08:35.560 because his policies are disastrous.

00:08:37.620 So he was underwater on the economy.

00:08:39.320 He was underwater, obviously,

00:08:40.500 on foreign affairs

00:08:41.240 after the debacle in Afghanistan.

00:08:43.620 He was underwater on immigration.

00:08:45.300 He was underwater on a lot of the social issues.

00:08:47.420 The one issue that he was still above water on

00:08:50.220 in terms of the polls was COVID

00:08:52.060 because people just didn't know

00:08:53.600 and they trusted the experts

00:08:54.740 and we'd all been hypnotized for two years.

00:08:58.140 Finally, he was underwater even on COVID

00:09:00.380 because people saw the consequences

00:09:02.160 of these policies.

00:09:03.360 It turns out you can't just

00:09:04.860 shut down the whole economy

00:09:06.280 and then pay people to sit around

00:09:07.720 and do nothing.

00:09:08.360 That's not gonna work.

00:09:09.100 You know what that's gonna lead to?

00:09:10.340 Massive inflation.

00:09:11.500 So people start to see that massive inflation.

00:09:13.260 They say, wait a second.

00:09:14.120 This wasn't a very good idea.

00:09:15.160 They see their favorite businesses closing,

00:09:17.260 some of which perhaps they owned or worked at.

00:09:19.520 They say, hmm, maybe this wasn't a great idea.

00:09:22.320 They see the effect on their kids' education.

00:09:24.280 These kids now are not proficient in reading.

00:09:26.360 They're not proficient in math.

00:09:27.360 They don't know a damn thing.

00:09:28.680 Not that they were getting a great education

00:09:30.320 in the public schools before COVID,

00:09:31.920 but after COVID, it was even worse.

00:09:34.680 So the parents are looking at this

00:09:36.600 just saying, wait, this is a really,

00:09:37.800 this is bad.

00:09:39.140 This is a really, really bad idea.

00:09:41.700 They look at the studies

00:09:42.720 on the efficacy of masks.

00:09:43.940 They say, why the hell did we even wear these masks?

00:09:46.220 They look at the efficacy of vaccines.

00:09:47.860 They see studies on the,

00:09:49.100 not of the vaccines, of the lockdowns.

00:09:51.560 And they say, why did we even do these lockdowns?

00:09:53.540 And then, yes, they look at the efficacy of the vaccines.

00:09:55.980 They say, you told me that the vaccines

00:09:57.760 were 100% safe, 100% effective.

00:09:59.820 Now you're telling me for certain groups,

00:10:01.280 maybe it's not totally safe.

00:10:02.720 Maybe we shouldn't recommend it for certain age groups.

00:10:05.080 Maybe there are gonna be some side effects

00:10:06.640 like myocarditis or like a nerve damage

00:10:10.660 or like blood clots.

00:10:12.040 You know, it's rare, but it does happen.

00:10:14.320 And, oh, and they're not totally the 100% effective.

00:10:17.300 You need a third shot.

00:10:18.200 You need a fourth shot.

00:10:19.200 You need a fifth shot, for goodness sakes.

00:10:20.760 And they look and they say,

00:10:21.680 what have you people done to our country for two years?

00:10:24.660 And then Fauci goes into hiding.

00:10:26.340 And then the Democrats stop talking about it.

00:10:28.080 And they say, oh, go look at Ukraine.

00:10:30.060 Oh, hey, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

00:10:33.540 You're gonna see a lot more of that distraction

00:10:36.020 coming up until November.

00:10:37.380 Do not let them get away with it.

00:10:39.360 They have learned nothing.

00:10:41.240 They've learned nothing other than power grabs were.

00:10:44.160 Okay, that's what they've learned.

00:10:45.140 And they're going to go right back to that.

00:10:46.800 And DeSantis is completely right.

00:10:48.360 And Rand Paul is completely right.

00:10:49.780 And I'm completely right.

00:10:51.220 So do not let them get away with it.

00:10:53.560 They're bringing this thing back.

00:10:55.060 We have got a lot of wind in our sails

00:10:57.060 as conservatives looking forward to November.

00:11:01.920 Okay, not just on the COVID issue,

00:11:03.700 but on everything.

00:11:04.600 Every single issue makes the Democrats look terrible.

00:11:07.080 It makes the Republicans look at least relatively good

00:11:09.720 because we're not the Democrats, okay?

00:11:11.460 And nowhere is this truer.

00:11:12.680 Obviously, you see it on the economy.

00:11:14.360 You see it on gas.

00:11:15.020 You see it on the prices of goods at the grocery store.

00:11:17.120 But this is true even on the social issues.

00:11:20.380 This is true even on the allegedly controversial

00:11:24.120 social sexual issues.

00:11:27.040 In Florida, back in Florida, back with Ron DeSantis,

00:11:30.760 there is a controversial law,

00:11:34.500 according to the mainstream media.

00:11:35.740 It's the don't say gay law,

00:11:39.220 according to the mainstream media.

00:11:41.360 Except in reality, it's not controversial at all.

00:11:44.060 And it's the parental rights and education bill.

00:11:46.120 And we now have an exclusive poll here at The Daily Wire

00:11:48.340 just taking people's temperature on this law.

00:11:50.460 And this poll probably oversamples Democrats, by the way,

00:11:54.700 because we're using the breakdown

00:11:55.980 from the official count of the 2020 election.

00:11:58.320 You know, the winningest election ever for Democrats.

00:12:00.960 They got 70 bazillion votes or whatever they say.

00:12:02.820 So we certainly gave a healthy sample of Democrats in this poll.

00:12:08.880 And it shows that nearly two-thirds of Americans

00:12:10.980 support the Florida education law.

00:12:14.800 The law they're calling the don't say gay law,

00:12:17.160 which is such a ridiculous moniker.

00:12:20.060 The bill, the law rather, doesn't say gay anywhere.

00:12:23.820 And it just gives parents rights to make sure

00:12:26.420 that their six-year-olds aren't being indoctrinated

00:12:28.200 in transgenderism.

00:12:29.260 But nearly two-thirds of Americans support this law.

00:12:32.800 Survey sample was 1,000 people, 37% Democrats,

00:12:35.880 32% Republicans, 31% Independent in this survey.

00:12:41.040 The law, the parental rights and education law,

00:12:44.300 is backed by 69% of Republicans, 62% of Democrats,

00:12:48.800 and 57% of Independents.

00:12:51.740 It's supported by 63% of whites, 66% of blacks,

00:12:56.120 62% of Latinos.

00:12:57.380 Extraordinarily popular.

00:12:59.720 Even this, this most radical social issue,

00:13:02.700 is a huge winner for conservatives.

00:13:05.560 Do not back down now.

00:13:07.320 We have got all the wind at our sails.

00:13:09.760 Push forward for what is right and just

00:13:12.220 and what so happens to be popular as well.

00:13:16.200 When you want to get responses from people,

00:13:19.120 okay, on these important issues,

00:13:20.740 you can conduct really expensive surveys,

00:14:29.980 Major story, speaking of transgenderism,

00:14:34.560 speaking of these pulling-on-your-heartstrings sort of social issues,

00:14:38.900 major story out of Ukraine.

00:14:40.920 Not the shelling of civilians in Kiev,

00:14:42.920 not the fight of the Ukrainian people to stop Russian aggression.

00:14:47.740 No, no, no.

00:14:48.220 The story that Business Insider decided to focus on.

00:14:51.740 How a transgender Ukrainian man escaped Russia's invasion.

00:14:58.800 He, he, quote-unquote, says,

00:15:01.460 I painted my nails violet and wore mom's shirt to look more girly.

00:15:06.980 So that's how he, now the transgender Ukrainian man escaped the invasion.

00:15:13.060 And my first thought reading that headline,

00:15:14.700 you read it kind of quickly, you say, hold on,

00:15:16.280 why is a man escaping the invasion?

00:15:19.440 The way that it works in Ukraine right now

00:15:21.720 is that women and girls are allowed to leave.

00:15:25.900 Women and children are allowed to leave.

00:15:27.740 But the men have to stay in Ukraine

00:15:29.980 because the men are expected to fight for their country

00:15:32.700 against Russian aggression.

00:15:33.800 This is the right thing to do

00:15:35.700 and it happens to be the policy in Ukraine.

00:15:37.560 So why is a man escaping the war?

00:15:41.740 Why isn't he fighting?

00:15:43.120 Oh, right, because he's not a man.

00:15:44.500 Because when they say transgender man,

00:15:46.800 they mean a woman who is pretending to be a man.

00:15:50.800 Either because she's confused

00:15:52.640 and believes because of some fantasy

00:15:55.940 that she is actually a man

00:15:57.320 or because she just really wants to be a man

00:16:00.060 and she isn't one, but she wants to pretend.

00:16:02.240 Either way, she's being allowed to leave

00:16:06.200 because she's a man.

00:16:09.000 Or because she's a woman, rather,

00:16:10.660 and not actually a man.

00:16:12.040 Now, she says she painted her nails violent

00:16:14.200 and wore mom's shirt to look more girly.

00:16:15.740 She doesn't need to do very much to look more girly.

00:16:17.400 She's a girl.

00:16:19.260 But what is so striking about this issue,

00:16:22.820 and it just drives home everything we've said

00:16:26.480 about the transgender craze is

00:16:28.940 we are told that transgender men are men.

00:16:34.760 Transgender women are women.

00:16:36.100 There's no distinction between a transgender man and a man

00:16:38.560 or a transgender woman and a woman.

00:16:40.280 I don't know why we have that extra adjective there beforehand

00:16:42.780 because there's no difference whatsoever.

00:16:44.620 They just gave Richard Levine,

00:16:46.660 who is the Undersecretary of Health.

00:16:48.740 He's a man who believes that he's a woman.

00:16:50.520 He's the Assistant Secretary of Health in America.

00:16:53.240 Shows you the state of our country.

00:16:54.340 He just won an award from some organization

00:16:56.540 to name him one of the Women of the Year

00:16:58.220 because he's a woman.

00:16:59.280 You go, girl.

00:17:00.160 You get it, right?

00:17:02.400 So this woman is a man

00:17:04.380 until it's inconvenient to be a man.

00:17:08.580 This woman is a man

00:17:10.060 until she, pretending to be he,

00:17:13.640 is asked to fight for her country

00:17:14.800 to do one of the duties of being a man.

00:17:17.600 And then all of a sudden,

00:17:19.000 let's paint my nails and go to a slumber party

00:17:21.220 because I'm a girl.

00:17:22.360 Let's go get some Chardonnay on the weekend.

00:17:23.720 And she flees the country.

00:17:27.020 This is a problem

00:17:27.880 with the transgender movement more broadly.

00:17:31.080 And really, it's a problem

00:17:32.900 with our society at the broadest level.

00:17:35.580 We all want the privileges

00:17:37.660 that other people have.

00:17:40.180 We never want the duties

00:17:41.860 that other people have.

00:17:44.260 We always,

00:17:45.120 we want to be able to do

00:17:47.060 whatever we want,

00:17:48.760 whenever we want to do it.

00:17:50.140 That is our view of liberation.

00:17:53.500 And transgenderism at its core

00:17:55.160 is a radical liberation movement,

00:17:57.860 just like all movements from the left

00:17:59.420 are radical liberation movements.

00:18:01.360 Not just liberation from governments,

00:18:03.340 that's how they began.

00:18:04.440 Not just liberation from social convention,

00:18:06.940 that's how it continued.

00:18:08.140 But liberation from nature and biology itself.

00:18:10.740 So it's this radical liberation movement,

00:18:12.300 and we believe to be truly free,

00:18:13.420 you need to be able to do

00:18:14.560 whatever you want to do

00:18:15.480 in our culture.

00:18:17.540 But this liberation

00:18:19.300 never involves

00:18:20.240 taking on responsibilities,

00:18:23.100 taking on duty.

00:18:24.160 This is, I think this is probably

00:18:25.300 the biggest distinction

00:18:26.800 between the leftist

00:18:28.280 and liberal view of the world

00:18:29.800 and the conservative view of the world.

00:18:32.160 The liberal and leftist view of the world

00:18:34.920 looks at the world

00:18:36.820 primarily from a perspective of rights

00:18:39.040 and entitlement.

00:18:41.620 And on the more radical left end,

00:18:44.320 it's entitlement to things,

00:18:46.520 positive rights,

00:18:47.380 my entitlement to enter

00:18:49.360 into the women's bathroom

00:18:50.660 if I'm really a man,

00:18:51.480 my entitlement to some healthcare service,

00:18:53.880 my entitlement to your money

00:18:55.620 and your labor.

00:18:56.600 And on the more modest side of it,

00:18:58.760 it's my entitlement,

00:19:01.400 my right from aggression,

00:19:03.780 my right to life, liberty, and property,

00:19:05.400 the negative rights, right?

00:19:06.320 It's all just rights, rights, rights, rights, rights.

00:19:08.160 But on the conservative side,

00:19:09.280 we look and we say,

00:19:09.820 no, no, no, I'm not born

00:19:10.920 primarily with rights.

00:19:12.500 I am born primarily

00:19:14.480 with duty and obligations.

00:19:16.600 I'm born into a family.

00:19:18.400 I'm a little baby boy.

00:19:19.440 I'm born into a family.

00:19:21.180 I have obligations to my family

00:19:23.160 and to my community

00:19:24.180 and to my country.

00:19:25.220 And if you view the world that way,

00:19:26.500 then you're going to stay

00:19:27.240 and fight for your country.

00:19:29.400 But if you adopt crazy ideologies,

00:19:32.480 radical leftist ideologies

00:19:33.680 like transgenderism,

00:19:35.080 you're never going to look

00:19:35.940 at the world like that.

00:19:37.100 And so it's no surprise

00:19:38.100 that this transgender man,

00:19:40.400 also known as a confused woman,

00:19:42.340 is fleeing at the first sign of trouble.

00:19:44.600 Not so fun to be a man

00:19:45.840 when the bullets are flying, is it?

00:19:47.840 It's really fun to be a man

00:19:49.260 when you get to sit around

00:19:50.420 and smoke big cigars

00:19:51.600 and sit in the executive suite.

00:19:54.260 And right, that's really,

00:19:55.140 that's when it's fun to be a man.

00:19:56.140 When the bullets are flying

00:19:57.000 and the women and children get to leave

00:19:58.580 and the men have to stay,

00:19:59.760 then I think we'd rather paint our nails, right?

00:20:02.200 But you can't have it that way.

00:20:03.700 You can't.

00:20:04.540 The world is not only about rights

00:20:06.800 and entitlement and fun and privilege.

00:20:09.280 It's about duty and responsibility

00:20:11.380 and loyalty to virtues

00:20:13.960 that have been completely discarded

00:20:15.620 in our modern leftist culture.

00:20:17.900 Speaking of some of those virtues,

00:20:19.840 I am unreasonably interested

00:20:24.780 in the Kim Kardashian, Kanye West,

00:20:27.740 Skeet Davidson drama.

00:20:29.900 It's, I say it's unreasonable

00:20:32.080 because I don't care at all

00:20:33.520 about celebrity culture.

00:20:34.760 I've listened to like three Kanye songs

00:20:37.140 in my whole life.

00:20:38.080 I don't really know

00:20:38.840 what Pete Davidson does

00:20:39.880 and I certainly have never watched

00:20:41.620 even three minutes

00:20:42.460 of a Kardashian show.

00:20:44.380 But I'm really focused on this

00:20:46.120 because I think

00:20:47.560 as goes the Kimye marriage,

00:20:49.920 so goes our nation.

00:20:51.400 So goes our culture.

00:20:53.740 Skeet Davidson,

00:20:54.860 the guy from Saturday Night Live,

00:20:57.500 texted Kanye West over the weekend.

00:20:59.700 And then he, like a little jerk,

00:21:02.380 released the text messages

00:21:03.720 from his phone.

00:21:05.360 He says,

00:21:05.820 yo, it's Skeet.

00:21:07.380 Can you please take a second

00:21:08.340 and calm down?

00:21:08.900 It's 8 a.m.

00:21:10.200 and it don't got to be like this.

00:21:12.580 Kim is literally

00:21:13.220 the best mother I've ever met.

00:21:14.960 What she does for those kids

00:21:16.200 is amazing.

00:21:17.020 And you're so effing lucky

00:21:18.240 that she's your kid's mom.

00:21:19.360 This is so pathetic.

00:21:21.020 What a, you know,

00:21:22.080 I don't use these terms

00:21:23.120 that are very popular in culture,

00:21:24.540 like beta male and alpha male

00:21:26.880 and all,

00:21:27.220 but like this is

00:21:28.900 not alpha male kind of behavior.

00:21:31.800 Okay, if we're going to use

00:21:32.880 those terms anyway.

00:21:34.080 Not, she,

00:21:35.000 hey,

00:21:35.500 hey, your wife

00:21:36.360 that I'm shacking up with,

00:21:37.880 she,

00:21:38.380 she's a great mom.

00:21:39.540 You're so lucky

00:21:40.300 that you're actual,

00:21:42.140 you're her husband

00:21:42.820 and father of her children

00:21:44.180 and you're so lucky

00:21:45.340 and I'm going to tell you off

00:21:46.700 because I'm just this little twerp

00:21:48.020 that shimmied into her bed.

00:21:49.540 So anyway,

00:21:49.940 he goes and yells at Kanye.

00:21:52.100 Kanye responds and goes,

00:21:53.320 oh, you're using profanity.

00:21:54.460 Where are you right now?

00:21:55.680 And Skeet Davidson responds,

00:21:57.100 in bed with your wife

00:21:58.120 and then texts a picture of himself

00:22:00.360 making a peace sign

00:22:02.480 lying in Kanye's bed.

00:22:05.180 Really gross behavior.

00:22:07.300 Looks like a little demon.

00:22:08.420 You know,

00:22:08.600 he looks just like a little,

00:22:09.760 he looks,

00:22:10.340 yeah,

00:22:10.640 not good.

00:22:11.600 So Kanye responds.

00:22:14.080 He says,

00:22:14.800 happy to see you're out

00:22:15.720 the hospital and rehab.

00:22:17.840 Now,

00:22:18.540 the reason I mention

00:22:19.720 these responses

00:22:20.800 in this whole text exchange,

00:22:23.160 Kanye,

00:22:23.700 who we're told is crazy,

00:22:25.340 he's erratic,

00:22:26.420 he's behaving in a dangerous way,

00:22:28.000 he's a harm to himself

00:22:28.780 and others.

00:22:30.300 Kanye West is showing

00:22:31.400 remarkable patience here.

00:22:34.240 Some dude texts you

00:22:35.460 and yells at you.

00:22:36.360 The dude who broke up

00:22:37.580 your marriage,

00:22:38.180 who's taking your wife

00:22:39.060 away from you.

00:22:40.240 Then he says,

00:22:40.940 I'm lying in bed

00:22:41.580 with your wife.

00:22:43.240 And Kanye responds

00:22:43.960 and he says very calmly,

00:22:45.200 I'm glad to see you're

00:22:45.900 out of rehab.

00:22:47.760 He doesn't respond,

00:22:48.580 I'm going to kill you,

00:22:49.280 I'm coming over there right,

00:22:50.060 and he says,

00:22:50.420 oh,

00:22:50.620 I'm glad you're out of rehab.

00:22:52.180 That's actually showing

00:22:54.220 a great deal of self-control

00:22:55.300 and patience.

00:22:56.700 Then,

00:22:56.980 then Davidson responds

00:22:59.380 a few more times.

00:23:00.100 He's like,

00:23:00.300 you should try rehab,

00:23:01.200 wah, wah, wah.

00:23:01.900 You're ruining your legacy,

00:23:03.200 wah, wah, wah.

00:23:04.500 And then Kanye just responds,

00:23:05.720 he goes,

00:23:06.640 you're more than welcome

00:23:07.300 to come to Sunday service.

00:23:08.340 And Davidson doesn't want

00:23:11.620 to go to Sunday service.

00:23:12.400 Sunday service is Kanye's

00:23:13.420 sort of kind of Christian

00:23:15.460 musical event

00:23:16.400 that he holds on Sundays.

00:23:18.140 Pete Davidson goes,

00:23:19.060 why don't we meet

00:23:19.800 after Sunday service?

00:23:20.880 I'll be at the Beverly Hills Hotel,

00:23:22.000 we can have food

00:23:22.460 and talk privately,

00:23:23.200 one-on-one,

00:23:23.780 come on,

00:23:24.200 let's do it privately.

00:23:26.080 Kanye just says,

00:23:26.640 you want to see me?

00:23:27.220 Come to Sunday service.

00:23:28.840 And then Davidson writes

00:23:29.700 like 27 more text messages,

00:23:31.380 whining and crying.

00:23:34.640 Kanye is 100% right.

00:23:37.440 Kim and Skeet are 100% wrong.

00:23:43.040 And this matters.

00:23:44.440 I know a lot of people say,

00:23:45.220 well, who cares?

00:23:46.440 We should all care.

00:23:48.620 It's just their marriage.

00:23:50.060 That's their private business.

00:23:51.220 No, marriage is not

00:23:52.360 a private business.

00:23:53.280 Marriage is very much

00:23:54.000 a public business.

00:23:55.900 Marriage is the bedrock

00:23:57.520 political institution.

00:23:59.080 When you get married,

00:24:00.160 you do it in public.

00:24:02.040 You go out,

00:24:03.020 there's a priest,

00:24:03.940 there's at least

00:24:04.400 a justice of the peace.

00:24:05.720 There are people there.

00:24:06.740 You invite your friends

00:24:07.480 and family.

00:24:08.020 Even if you elope,

00:24:09.080 there's a witness.

00:24:09.960 There have to be,

00:24:10.700 it has to be a public act.

00:24:12.160 And when you go to get married,

00:24:14.120 you make a vow,

00:24:16.380 usually before God,

00:24:18.500 but at least before

00:24:19.420 the political community

00:24:20.280 and say,

00:24:20.680 I will stay with this person.

00:24:22.240 I'm not going anywhere.

00:24:24.760 And Kanye,

00:24:26.160 I'm sure Kanye

00:24:26.780 has made a thousand mistakes.

00:24:28.300 Kim Kardashian's probably

00:24:29.120 made a thousand mistakes.

00:24:30.040 Pete Davidson

00:24:30.420 is very clearly a mistake.

00:24:32.660 But Kanye is saying,

00:24:34.340 I want to bring

00:24:34.940 my family back together.

00:24:35.760 We've got four kids.

00:24:36.800 Don't do this to the kids.

00:24:37.760 Don't do this to our family.

00:24:38.740 Let's go bring it back together.

00:24:40.200 And Kim Kardashian says,

00:24:41.500 no,

00:24:42.000 she did a whole magazine spread.

00:24:43.440 In my 40s,

00:24:44.140 I'm just going to do

00:24:44.820 what I want to do.

00:24:45.840 I'm going to pursue me.

00:24:46.940 That's what I've got to do.

00:24:47.600 No,

00:24:47.960 she's wrong.

00:24:48.820 Kanye is right.

00:24:49.700 We are seeing here

00:24:50.340 not just a clash

00:24:51.080 of two celebrities,

00:24:52.180 three celebrities

00:24:52.760 if you include Skeet.

00:24:54.360 We are seeing a clash

00:24:55.600 of two views of the world.

00:24:57.480 And I can't believe

00:24:58.180 I'm saying this.

00:24:58.800 I wouldn't have guessed

00:24:59.320 I would say this

00:24:59.820 five or six years ago.

00:25:01.420 Kanye is representing

00:25:02.620 the conservative,

00:25:04.200 traditional view

00:25:05.160 of marriage and society.

00:25:07.580 Kim is representing

00:25:08.540 the modern,

00:25:09.880 terrible liberal view.

00:25:11.860 Kids are caught

00:25:12.380 in the middle.

00:25:13.440 Society is caught

00:25:14.120 in the middle.

00:25:15.820 Be on Team Kanye.

00:25:17.320 Do not be on Team Skeet.

00:25:19.400 Okay,

00:25:19.620 we can't afford it.

00:25:20.460 Now,

00:26:28.400 We have got

00:26:29.000 the first DW book

00:26:31.000 coming up,

00:26:31.440 the first real DW book,

00:26:33.060 12 Seconds in the Dark

00:26:34.180 by Sergeant Mattingly.

00:26:35.200 It's available now.

00:26:36.100 The book is the true story

00:26:37.020 of what really happened

00:26:37.760 the night of the

00:26:38.340 Breonna Taylor shooting.

00:26:40.080 Take a listen to this trailer.

00:26:40.980 It was very chaotic.

00:26:43.100 It was very quick.

00:26:44.760 Instantly,

00:26:45.220 I knew I was shot.

00:26:46.120 Breonna Taylor,

00:26:46.700 she was caught

00:26:47.180 in the crossfire

00:26:47.920 of those bullets.

00:26:49.100 As soon as

00:26:49.820 your brain's registering,

00:26:51.360 it's already over.

00:26:52.520 The media got so many

00:26:53.480 things wrong in this case,

00:26:54.840 saying we had

00:26:55.820 the wrong apartment.

00:26:56.700 Her name wasn't

00:26:57.280 on the warrant.

00:26:58.160 She was shot and killed

00:26:58.960 in her sleep,

00:26:59.840 in her bed.

00:27:00.700 These are lies.

00:27:01.680 This is not true.

00:27:02.880 And all the while,

00:27:03.620 you're hearing all these

00:27:04.460 outside influences

00:27:05.420 from athletes

00:27:06.840 and Oprah

00:27:07.980 and Ellen DeGeneres

00:27:09.320 and Kamala Harris

00:27:10.440 and Joe Biden.

00:27:11.440 All those people

00:27:12.160 coming and attacking you,

00:27:14.000 putting your name

00:27:14.720 on their account,

00:27:15.440 saying he should be in prison.

00:27:16.640 All these things

00:27:17.320 that they have no idea

00:27:18.120 what they're talking about.

00:27:19.240 But they have such influence.

00:27:21.160 The more we attack police

00:27:22.620 for doing their job,

00:27:24.220 the less good,

00:27:25.020 qualified police

00:27:25.740 you're going to have.

00:27:28.460 12 Seconds in the Dark,

00:27:29.960 you will find out

00:27:30.780 the truth of what

00:27:31.560 really happened

00:27:32.100 the night of

00:27:32.600 the Breonna Taylor raid.

00:27:36.240 The book is available

00:27:37.340 now on Amazon

00:28:22.380 We'll be right back

00:28:22.960 with a lot more.

00:28:35.180 Welcome back to the show.

00:28:37.000 Speaking of prominent spats

00:28:38.780 between men and women

00:28:40.280 in our public sphere,

00:28:43.020 Tulsi Gabbard and Mitt Romney

00:28:44.940 are having a bit of a tiff.

00:28:46.980 As you might expect,

00:28:49.060 Tulsi is right

00:28:50.040 and Mitt is wrong.

00:28:52.200 What is the tiff about?

00:28:53.700 It's about something

00:28:54.420 that we've talked

00:28:56.120 a lot about on this show

00:28:57.740 in the last couple of weeks.

00:29:00.240 The bio labs in Ukraine

00:29:02.640 that were funded

00:29:03.880 and in part built

00:29:05.040 by the United States

00:29:06.320 that the official story

00:29:08.020 coming out of

00:29:09.140 the United States deep state

00:29:11.140 was these labs don't exist.

00:29:13.020 Okay, they do exist,

00:29:13.960 but we're not involved.

00:29:14.840 Okay, they exist

00:29:16.060 and we fund them

00:29:16.900 and we built some of them,

00:29:18.700 but it's just

00:29:19.320 for ordinary scientific research.

00:29:21.040 Okay, it's actually run

00:29:22.160 by the military,

00:29:23.400 but the pathogens

00:29:24.240 that are being studied

00:29:25.240 aren't really dangerous.

00:29:27.300 Okay, they're actually

00:29:28.660 extremely dangerous

00:29:29.480 and we're terrified

00:29:30.020 they're falling

00:29:30.420 into Russian hands.

00:29:31.440 So that's quite

00:29:32.560 the evolution of the story.

00:29:34.020 We called it out

00:29:34.900 and the minute

00:29:36.080 that you mention any of this,

00:29:37.400 the minute that you contradict

00:29:38.520 the official narrative

00:29:39.900 coming out

00:29:40.660 of the American deep state,

00:29:42.640 you're called

00:29:43.060 a Putin stooge

00:29:44.200 or a Xi Jinping stooge

00:29:47.020 or anti-American

00:29:48.520 or a traitor

00:29:49.200 or whatever.

00:29:49.820 You're just pointing out

00:29:51.180 the facts on the ground

00:29:52.180 that even the State Department

00:29:53.500 is now admitting is true.

00:29:54.980 So Tulsi Gabbard

00:29:55.800 made the huge mistake

00:29:57.100 of talking about something

00:29:58.580 that we know exists.

00:30:00.340 Here are the undeniable facts.

00:30:03.600 There are 25 to 30

00:30:05.060 U.S. funded bio labs

00:30:06.640 in Ukraine.

00:30:08.200 According to the U.S. government,

00:30:10.140 these bio labs

00:30:10.800 are conducting research

00:30:11.840 on dangerous pathogens.

00:30:14.400 Ukraine is in an active war zone

00:30:16.800 with widespread bombing,

00:30:18.360 artillery and shelling

00:30:19.660 and these facilities,

00:30:21.960 even in the best of circumstances,

00:30:23.780 could easily be compromised

00:30:25.520 and release these deadly pathogens.

00:30:29.280 Now, like COVID,

00:30:30.900 these pathogens know no borders.

00:30:32.980 If they are inadvertently

00:30:34.300 or purposely breached

00:30:35.480 or compromised,

00:30:36.060 they will quickly spread

00:30:37.380 all throughout Europe,

00:30:39.100 the United States

00:30:39.880 and the rest of the world,

00:30:41.020 causing untold suffering

00:30:43.020 and death.

00:30:44.540 So in order to protect

00:30:45.780 the American people,

00:30:47.200 the people of Europe,

00:30:48.300 the people around the world,

00:30:49.980 these labs need to be

00:30:51.080 shut down immediately

00:30:51.920 and the pathogens

00:30:53.000 that they hold

00:30:54.560 need to be destroyed.

00:30:55.620 Did you hear anything wrong

00:30:58.300 with what she said?

00:30:59.680 I didn't.

00:31:00.400 The facts that she observed

00:31:01.840 are undeniable at this point.

00:31:03.680 We've talked about it

00:31:04.600 on this show.

00:31:04.980 We've brought the documents

00:31:05.840 from the State Department,

00:31:06.980 from the Pentagon.

00:31:08.120 The labs exist.

00:31:09.320 The labs are studying

00:31:10.200 dangerous pathogens.

00:31:11.680 Both the State Department

00:31:12.560 and the Pentagon

00:31:13.180 now admit that that's the case.

00:31:14.640 Do you disagree

00:31:15.220 with her conclusion

00:31:16.000 that we've got to secure

00:31:17.400 the labs,

00:31:18.120 that if these things break out

00:31:19.320 after two years

00:31:20.500 of a pandemic

00:31:21.740 involving a virus

00:31:23.120 that very likely came

00:31:24.300 from a lab that coincidentally

00:31:25.600 we were also funding,

00:31:26.620 the Wuhan Institute of Virology,

00:31:28.280 after dealing with

00:31:29.360 that experience for two years,

00:31:30.880 even if we hadn't dealt

00:31:31.640 with it for two years,

00:31:33.060 even if that hadn't happened,

00:31:33.980 just knowing you've got

00:31:34.980 dangerous pathogens

00:31:35.980 that can run

00:31:37.520 all the way around the world,

00:31:38.780 obviously we need

00:31:39.600 to shut down these labs.

00:31:40.920 We need to secure them.

00:31:41.860 They're in a war zone

00:31:42.600 with Russian tanks rolling in.

00:31:44.600 Could you disagree

00:31:45.320 with anything

00:31:45.860 that she just said?

00:31:48.000 Mitt Romney did.

00:31:49.660 Mitt Romney tweeted out,

00:31:51.020 quote,

00:31:51.560 Tulsi Gabbard is parroting

00:31:52.940 false Russian propaganda.

00:31:55.200 Her treasonous lies

00:31:57.040 may well cost lives.

00:32:00.560 Now, Mitt Romney

00:32:01.900 didn't have any follow-up tweets

00:32:03.280 because he's completely

00:32:04.660 full of it.

00:32:05.800 He's saying it's

00:32:06.440 false Russian propaganda

00:32:07.500 to say that the U.S.

00:32:08.460 was funding biolabs

00:32:09.480 in Ukraine.

00:32:10.400 There's nothing false about it.

00:32:12.260 It is true

00:32:13.140 that the Russians

00:32:14.080 used the true existence

00:32:16.360 of those biolabs

00:32:17.120 as propaganda.

00:32:18.240 The Chinese used it

00:32:19.160 as propaganda too.

00:32:20.040 But the very best propaganda

00:32:21.740 has a basis in fact.

00:32:23.240 And the fact is

00:32:24.020 the U.S. military

00:32:25.700 was funding these biolabs

00:32:27.280 and is still funding

00:32:28.260 these biolabs

00:32:28.860 and has been since 2005.

00:32:31.420 So that's just a fact.

00:32:33.660 It's not false propaganda.

00:32:36.220 It's a true fact.

00:32:37.940 And Mitt Romney

00:32:38.440 is calling this woman

00:32:39.340 a traitor.

00:32:40.380 An American service member,

00:32:41.720 Tulsi Gabbard,

00:32:42.420 and a former member

00:32:43.240 of Congress

00:32:43.700 calling her a traitor

00:32:45.060 and a murderer

00:32:46.140 for stating the truth.

00:32:48.060 Mitt freaking Romney

00:32:50.360 somehow on the wrong side

00:32:51.500 of almost every

00:32:52.520 political issue

00:32:53.600 he is involved in

00:32:54.660 these days.

00:32:56.640 And many in the past too.

00:32:58.000 I really don't want

00:32:59.820 to hear it

00:33:00.160 from the squishes anymore

00:33:01.100 that Mitt Romney

00:33:02.040 is some kind of good guy.

00:33:03.280 He's a good guy.

00:33:04.000 You know,

00:33:04.200 he might be a little liberal

00:33:05.120 on some issues.

00:33:06.080 But look,

00:33:06.740 he's a good guy.

00:33:07.360 He's an honorable man.

00:33:08.320 He's a liar.

00:33:09.500 He's an absolute liar.

00:33:10.720 He has no integrity whatsoever.

00:33:12.240 When he ran for Senate

00:33:13.240 against Ted Kennedy

00:33:14.060 in Boston,

00:33:14.860 that was the first time.

00:33:15.680 He ran for Senate

00:33:16.380 in Massachusetts.

00:33:17.560 Then he moved to

00:33:18.280 New Hampshire

00:33:19.160 to run for president.

00:33:20.040 Then he moved to Utah

00:33:20.760 because he lost

00:33:21.340 both of those races.

00:33:22.340 So he moved to Utah

00:33:23.100 so he could finally

00:33:23.880 become a senator.

00:33:24.780 But when he was running

00:33:25.440 for Senate

00:33:25.940 in Massachusetts,

00:33:28.400 he was going up

00:33:29.380 against Teddy Kennedy.

00:33:30.520 He was asked,

00:33:31.560 he said he was very,

00:33:32.520 very pro-choice, right?

00:33:33.600 Forget about

00:33:34.020 those little babies.

00:33:35.120 Those little babies

00:33:35.680 don't matter.

00:33:36.180 He was trying to enter

00:33:37.020 the United States Senate.

00:33:38.120 And then he was even asked

00:33:39.060 about the legacy

00:33:40.040 of Ronald Reagan.

00:33:41.040 This is the easiest layup.

00:33:42.700 This is such a gimme

00:33:43.480 for conservatives.

00:33:45.280 If conservatives

00:33:45.840 want to get a

00:33:46.360 elected in a mainstream way,

00:33:47.260 all you have to do

00:33:47.700 is say,

00:33:47.900 I like Ronald Reagan.

00:33:48.720 I'm going to be

00:33:49.060 the next Ronald Reagan.

00:33:50.020 And he couldn't even do that.

00:33:51.640 During his 1994 Senate race,

00:33:54.320 he said,

00:33:54.760 I wasn't a Republican

00:33:55.900 during the time of Reagan.

00:33:57.260 I was an independent

00:33:58.560 during the time of Reagan.

00:33:59.580 I don't want to be

00:34:00.060 anything like Reagan.

00:34:00.920 And then what?

00:34:01.320 He runs for president.

00:34:02.040 He says,

00:34:02.300 I'm the reincarnation

00:34:03.900 of Ronald Reagan.

00:34:04.740 He's just a putz.

00:34:05.920 He's just an absolute,

00:34:07.420 rudderless,

00:34:09.000 completely integrity-lacking putz.

00:34:12.500 Okay?

00:34:12.860 And he's going after

00:34:13.760 this woman,

00:34:14.580 Tulsi Gabbard,

00:34:15.420 for telling the truth.

00:34:16.460 It's disgusting kind of stuff.

00:34:17.800 And it makes you wonder,

00:34:19.240 what degree of freedom of speech

00:34:21.200 do we have in this country anymore?

00:34:22.680 What degree,

00:34:23.360 forget freedom of the press,

00:34:24.380 even just freedom,

00:34:25.680 basic freedom of speech

00:34:26.780 for a service member

00:34:28.060 and former member of Congress

00:34:29.620 to come out and say,

00:34:32.340 these biolabs exist.

00:34:33.540 This is a real threat.

00:34:34.640 It was kind of covered up

00:34:35.700 by the government.

00:34:36.320 Now they're admitting it's true.

00:34:37.360 And it really changes

00:34:38.360 the calculation

00:34:39.080 in this war in Ukraine.

00:34:40.400 And we've got to be

00:34:41.240 careful about it.

00:34:42.460 And the minute you make

00:34:43.160 that obvious,

00:34:44.300 modest,

00:34:44.800 true point,

00:34:46.040 you get this guy,

00:34:47.020 Mitt Romney,

00:34:47.460 to come after you

00:34:48.280 and say you're a traitor

00:34:49.200 and you're a liar

00:34:49.940 and you're a prudent stooge.

00:34:51.600 Disgusting.

00:34:52.480 Absolutely disgusting.

00:34:54.480 Mitt Romney is no different

00:34:55.680 than those cackling hens

00:34:56.960 on The View,

00:34:57.500 as far as I'm concerned.

00:34:58.640 And you saw The View

00:34:59.560 make the same point

00:35:00.460 just the other day.

00:35:02.120 Anna Navarro,

00:35:03.020 who's the fake Republican

00:35:04.080 on The View,

00:35:05.100 she is one of the hens.

00:35:06.560 She was on the show

00:35:08.280 and she said that people

00:35:09.400 such as Tulsi Gabbard

00:35:10.620 or Tucker Carlson

00:35:12.160 or anyone who raises

00:35:13.340 any questions

00:35:14.260 about the official narrative

00:35:15.820 coming out of the State Department

00:35:17.200 and the Pentagon

00:35:17.780 regarding United States

00:35:19.980 involvement in Ukraine,

00:35:21.100 they should be investigated

00:35:23.080 and prosecuted by the DOJ.

00:35:25.100 I think DOJ,

00:35:27.140 in the same way

00:35:27.800 that it is setting up

00:35:29.260 a task force

00:35:29.920 to investigate oligarchs,

00:35:31.380 should look into people

00:35:32.520 who are Russian propagandists

00:35:34.580 and shilling for Putin.

00:35:35.780 That's being,

00:35:36.760 if you are a foreign asset

00:35:38.080 to a dictator,

00:35:40.040 it should be investigated.

00:35:42.760 You're a foreign asset

00:35:44.300 to a dictator

00:35:45.240 if you just read documents

00:35:47.340 from the State Department website.

00:35:48.860 You're a foreign asset

00:35:50.220 to a dictator

00:35:51.220 if you point out

00:35:53.040 that it would be bad

00:35:54.240 if the Ukrainian biolabs

00:35:56.880 that we were funding

00:35:57.780 released botulism and anthrax.

00:36:00.900 You're just a foreign,

00:36:02.200 you should be prosecuted.

00:36:05.120 That's how we stand up to Putin

00:36:06.720 is we imprison political dissidents

00:36:09.980 for telling the truth.

00:36:11.760 That'll show Putin,

00:36:13.280 you see,

00:36:13.600 because Putin,

00:36:14.300 he's a really bad autocrat

00:36:15.860 and he goes after his opponents

00:36:18.820 and he'll kill them

00:36:19.900 and he'll certainly imprison

00:36:21.060 his political opponents.

00:36:22.380 And so the way

00:36:22.940 that we've got to fight that

00:36:23.960 is by imprisoning

00:36:24.980 our political opponents.

00:36:27.160 Does that make sense?

00:36:28.640 Sure, it makes sense on the view.

00:36:29.980 Doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

00:36:32.220 And that's what,

00:36:32.800 that's just the logical conclusion

00:36:34.140 of what Mitt Romney is saying.

00:36:35.400 Mitt Romney is actually,

00:36:36.880 frankly,

00:36:37.200 going further than Anna Navarro.

00:36:39.200 Anna Navarro is just saying

00:36:40.460 the DOJ should investigate

00:36:41.640 and look into this.

00:36:43.100 Mitt Romney is accusing

00:36:44.080 Tulsi Gabbard of treason.

00:36:46.160 You can hang for treason.

00:36:48.180 He's saying this woman

00:36:49.020 has committed a capital offense.

00:36:52.820 Disgusting.

00:36:54.000 Really makes you wonder.

00:36:55.600 Really makes you wonder.

00:36:56.440 I, I still think

00:36:57.980 that on the world stage

00:36:59.320 we're relatively the good guys.

00:37:02.380 Okay.

00:37:02.880 And we are fighting

00:37:03.900 relatively the bad guys.

00:37:06.360 But when Romney says stuff like this,

00:37:08.660 when, when Anna Navarro

00:37:10.420 says stuff like this,

00:37:11.380 it really does make you think.

00:37:13.580 How, how much longer are we,

00:37:15.120 are we still the good guys?

00:37:16.000 Are we the baddies?

00:37:17.240 Are we the baddies by chance?

00:37:19.520 And if we are still the good guys,

00:37:21.120 which I think

00:37:21.720 and I hope that we are,

00:37:23.020 how much longer

00:37:23.640 are we going to be able

00:37:24.120 to keep that up

00:37:24.900 with people like Navarro

00:37:26.420 and Mitt Romney?

00:37:28.740 This war is something

00:37:30.280 that the Romneys

00:37:32.400 and the Navarros of the world

00:37:33.540 are taking really lightly.

00:37:36.020 You know,

00:37:36.400 you just change

00:37:36.900 your profile picture,

00:37:37.940 put up the Ukraine flag

00:37:39.000 and just do everything

00:37:43.200 to antagonize Russia,

00:37:44.840 a nuclear former superpower

00:37:46.340 and pretend that Ukraine

00:37:48.280 is the battlefield

00:37:49.160 for freedom on earth.

00:37:50.480 It's the most Western democracy,

00:37:52.520 most pristine government

00:37:54.300 on earth.

00:37:55.040 It's so central

00:37:55.860 to the West's identity

00:37:57.380 and, and then it'll be,

00:37:59.400 and there's no cost

00:38:00.080 to anything, right?

00:38:01.760 There would be no cost

00:38:02.760 to antagonizing Russia.

00:38:03.940 Well, we right now

00:38:04.980 have the UN Secretary General

00:38:06.200 saying that for the first time,

00:38:08.040 certainly in my lifetime,

00:38:10.380 nuclear war

00:38:11.480 is a real possibility.

00:38:14.300 Further escalation of the war,

00:38:16.480 whether by accident

00:38:17.400 or design,

00:38:18.920 threatens all of humanity.

00:38:20.480 Raising the alert

00:38:22.540 of Russian nuclear forces

00:38:23.820 is a bone-chilling development.

00:38:26.620 The prospect of nuclear conflict,

00:38:29.120 once unthinkable,

00:38:31.100 is now back within

00:38:32.160 the realm of possibility.

00:38:34.580 The security and safety

00:38:35.860 of nuclear facilities

00:38:36.960 must also be preserved.

00:38:39.920 It's time to stop

00:38:41.120 the horror unleashed

00:38:42.060 on the people of Ukraine

00:38:43.260 and get on the path

00:38:44.760 of diplomacy and peace.

00:38:46.500 That is a chilling prospect,

00:38:50.560 as the UN Secretary General says.

00:38:53.020 Putin has threatened nuclear war.

00:38:54.640 Would he go through with it?

00:38:56.460 I, I don't know.

00:38:59.060 I don't know.

00:39:00.440 I'm not, I don't think

00:39:01.540 that he's going to launch Armageddon,

00:39:03.320 but would he use

00:39:04.920 a tactical nuke in Ukraine?

00:39:06.620 Maybe.

00:39:07.880 Maybe he would.

00:39:08.760 I think the chances of that

00:39:09.760 are actually relatively pretty high.

00:39:12.820 That changes the nature of warfare.

00:39:14.320 As we've said on this show,

00:39:16.200 world wars have started for less.

00:39:20.240 And it doesn't make you

00:39:21.680 team Putin

00:39:22.520 to urge a little caution here.

00:39:26.060 And to tell people

00:39:27.240 who three weeks ago

00:39:28.480 could not have pointed out

00:39:29.660 Kiev on a map

00:39:30.700 that maybe they've got to be

00:39:32.360 a little more circumspect here.

00:39:33.680 Maybe they need a little bit

00:39:34.560 more information.

00:39:35.900 And maybe they need to be able

00:39:37.240 to ascertain

00:39:38.740 what exactly is going on

00:39:39.960 in this situation

00:39:40.640 before we just call for

00:39:42.120 aggression and aggression

00:39:43.160 and aggression.

00:39:43.700 without knowing

00:39:44.520 what the next step

00:39:45.180 is going to be.

00:39:46.480 We call for

00:39:47.620 canceling Russia, right?

00:39:50.580 All the corporations

00:39:51.540 in the world

00:39:52.060 have basically canceled Russia.

00:39:53.340 The economy is destroyed.

00:39:54.720 We even went after

00:39:55.760 their central bank.

00:39:56.580 This is an unprecedented tactic

00:39:58.140 in modern warfare.

00:40:00.360 Well, what's the effect

00:40:01.140 of that going to be?

00:40:02.640 You would hope

00:40:03.880 that the effect is

00:40:04.660 Putin backs down,

00:40:05.720 he pulls out of Ukraine,

00:40:06.600 Ukraine gets to remain

00:40:07.360 a sovereign country,

00:40:08.180 and that's that.

00:40:08.700 That would be,

00:40:09.360 that's the best intention outcome.

00:40:11.360 What's the real outcome?

00:40:12.160 Putin's threatening

00:40:12.980 to nationalize businesses

00:40:14.200 and recreate the Soviet Union,

00:40:15.640 and it doesn't seem to be

00:40:16.680 hindering him in any way

00:40:17.660 on the battlefield.

00:40:18.840 If anything,

00:40:19.380 it seems to be prolonging things

00:40:20.720 on the battlefield in Ukraine.

00:40:22.700 But we had good intentions,

00:40:23.920 right?

00:40:24.080 The road to hell

00:40:24.560 is paved with good intentions.

00:40:26.920 But Mitt Romney,

00:40:27.640 he's got good intentions.

00:40:28.280 Anna Navarro,

00:40:28.840 they've got good intentions.

00:40:30.020 Tulsi Gabbard,

00:40:30.640 he's a Putin stooge.

00:40:31.360 I think Tulsi Gabbard

00:40:32.220 is exhibiting

00:40:33.040 much better judgment here

00:40:34.560 than someone like Romney

00:40:37.560 who's offering

00:40:38.440 all the preening,

00:40:39.440 all the virtue signaling,

00:40:40.400 and none of the actual solutions.

00:40:43.000 By the way,

00:40:43.580 by the way,

00:40:43.960 a lot of this

00:40:44.640 surrounds the question of NATO.

00:40:48.060 Will Ukraine join NATO?

00:40:49.940 Will Ukraine join the EU?

00:40:51.580 Before 2013, 2014,

00:40:53.680 Ukraine was a neutral country.

00:40:55.880 Then after the government

00:40:57.180 was overthrown

00:40:57.860 in 2013, 2014,

00:40:59.280 Ukraine moved much more

00:41:00.700 toward the West,

00:41:01.960 and they wanted to join

00:41:02.760 the European Union,

00:41:03.560 and they wanted to join NATO.

00:41:05.080 And Russia didn't like that very much,

00:41:06.540 and then Russia invaded Crimea.

00:41:07.800 Then Ukraine,

00:41:09.780 all the more so,

00:41:10.680 sort of naturally wanted

00:41:12.080 to join NATO and the EU.

00:41:13.580 Their country's partially invaded.

00:41:15.020 They realize that Russian aggression

00:41:16.220 is a very real threat,

00:41:17.380 but this escalates.

00:41:18.440 And the EU and NATO,

00:41:19.720 they play coy,

00:41:20.860 and they play flirtatious,

00:41:21.840 and oh,

00:41:22.080 maybe you can join us,

00:41:22.880 maybe you can join us.

00:41:23.700 And so what happens?

00:41:24.600 Vladimir Putin says,

00:41:25.320 I'm not going to accept that,

00:41:26.220 and he invades the country.

00:41:27.780 So the war is Putin's fault,

00:41:29.840 but it was mismanaged.

00:41:32.120 The hand was misplayed

00:41:33.380 by a West

00:41:34.780 that never really wanted

00:41:36.120 to accept Ukraine

00:41:36.940 in the first place,

00:41:37.640 and Zelensky just realized that.

00:41:39.120 Zelensky just realized

00:41:40.020 he got played.

00:41:41.300 He just came out the other day,

00:41:43.400 just yesterday actually,

00:41:44.340 and said,

00:41:44.840 regarding NATO,

00:41:45.560 I've cooled down

00:41:46.220 regarding this question

00:41:47.100 long ago

00:41:48.000 after we understood

00:41:48.940 that NATO is not prepared

00:41:50.280 to accept Ukraine.

00:41:52.100 He said this to ABC News

00:41:53.200 in an interview.

00:41:54.520 The alliance is afraid

00:41:55.620 of controversial things

00:41:56.580 and confrontation with Russia.

00:41:58.240 I never wanted to be a country

00:41:59.580 which is begging something

00:42:00.900 on its knees.

00:42:01.720 We are not going to be that country,

00:42:03.080 and I don't want to be that president.

00:42:04.200 So he's saying,

00:42:05.020 oh, right,

00:42:05.460 NATO never wanted us

00:42:06.300 in the first place,

00:42:07.360 which is something

00:42:08.140 that I've pointed out

00:42:09.900 for a long time.

00:42:10.640 A lot of conservatives

00:42:11.340 pointed out.

00:42:11.780 They said,

00:42:12.000 look,

00:42:12.420 NATO is not going to accept Ukraine.

00:42:14.080 They actually can't accept Ukraine,

00:42:15.540 certainly since 2014,

00:42:18.440 or certainly since

00:42:19.240 the Russian invasion of Crimea.

00:42:20.600 I'll be more specific.

00:42:22.240 Because if a foreign country

00:42:24.680 is occupying a nation

00:42:26.340 that then joins NATO,

00:42:27.380 that automatically triggers

00:42:28.780 the NATO alliance

00:42:30.080 to go into effect

00:42:30.820 and declare war

00:42:31.700 on the country

00:42:32.400 that was invading,

00:42:33.100 the country that was just admitted.

00:42:34.200 So the minute that Ukraine

00:42:35.640 joins NATO,

00:42:36.540 you get World War III

00:42:37.400 by definition.

00:42:39.840 So it couldn't happen.

00:42:41.120 It was never going to happen.

00:42:43.240 We just sort of played with,

00:42:46.540 toyed with Ukraine

00:42:47.480 and said,

00:42:47.900 oh, maybe it will.

00:42:48.880 And so they,

00:42:49.680 contrary to,

00:42:50.340 I think,

00:42:50.520 their security interests,

00:42:52.500 played really cozy

00:42:53.560 with the West.

00:42:55.060 And now they're in this major war

00:42:56.520 and it's going on

00:42:57.480 and on and on.

00:42:59.860 A little bit of knowledge,

00:43:01.420 a little bit of nuance,

00:43:02.360 a little bit of prudence

00:43:03.460 and caution

00:43:04.020 probably could have stopped

00:43:05.340 a lot of this.

00:43:06.120 Zelensky just the other day

00:43:07.220 pointed out that Joe Biden

00:43:08.560 is most directly responsible

00:43:10.700 for the Russian invasion.

00:43:12.180 After Vladimir Putin,

00:43:13.300 who bears all the responsibility,

00:43:15.180 after him,

00:43:16.240 Joe Biden

00:43:16.760 is the most responsible.

00:43:18.700 Zelensky said,

00:43:20.140 as we've mentioned on this show,

00:43:21.780 you know I hate to say

00:43:22.400 I told you so,

00:43:23.300 Zelensky said that

00:43:24.120 if Joe Biden

00:43:25.000 had not taken the sanctions

00:43:26.380 off Russia,

00:43:27.040 specifically off that

00:43:27.840 Russian pipeline,

00:43:29.020 Nord Stream 2,

00:43:29.680 to go straight to Europe,

00:43:31.080 Russia would not have invaded.

00:43:33.440 And then what happens?

00:43:35.180 Biden takes the sanctions

00:43:36.320 off Russia

00:43:37.040 and the pipeline,

00:43:38.240 Russia invades.

00:43:39.780 A little bit of caution,

00:43:42.180 a little bit of prudence,

00:43:43.140 a little bit of nuance

00:43:43.960 would have gone a long way.

00:43:47.840 And Joe Biden

00:43:48.820 is absolutely sick

00:43:50.740 of people blaming him

00:43:53.100 for high gas prices

00:43:54.460 and for inflation.

00:43:55.740 They want,

00:43:56.420 he wants

00:43:56.980 everyone to blame Putin.

00:43:58.760 The second big reason

00:44:00.460 for inflation

00:44:01.760 is Vladimir Putin.

00:44:04.780 From the moment

00:44:05.580 he put his

00:44:06.380 over 150,000 troops

00:44:08.180 on the Ukrainian border,

00:44:10.040 the price of gasoline

00:44:11.380 in January

00:44:11.980 went up 75 cents.

00:44:15.980 And Putin began

00:44:16.620 amassing troops

00:44:17.480 along the border

00:44:18.180 and guess what?

00:44:19.340 The world took notice.

00:44:21.440 And those of you

00:44:22.080 who work in the business

00:44:22.860 know that

00:44:23.380 the market anticipated.

00:44:24.960 The price went up more.

00:44:26.540 And then Putin invaded.

00:44:27.540 Make no mistake,

00:44:29.160 inflation is largely

00:44:30.000 the fault of Putin.

00:44:30.900 I love, you know,

00:44:31.960 the Republicans

00:44:32.400 saying it's Biden's

00:44:33.340 gas pipeline.

00:44:34.820 Biden said he's going

00:44:36.540 to stop the Keystone

00:44:37.380 pipeline and I did.

00:44:39.780 And that's the reason

00:44:40.740 prices went up.

00:44:41.840 Folks, let's get

00:44:42.520 something straight here.

00:44:44.020 The Keystone pipeline

00:44:45.120 was two years away

00:44:46.400 and had been 2% finished.

00:44:49.780 Give me a break.

00:44:51.220 Come on, give me a break,

00:44:52.300 give me a break.

00:44:52.620 So, Joe, with due respect,

00:44:55.000 please, would you give me

00:44:56.520 a break?

00:44:56.980 What he's saying is

00:44:57.700 that gas prices only went up

00:44:58.920 because Putin was threatening

00:44:59.820 to invade Ukraine.

00:45:00.780 Now, he's being clever here.

00:45:01.900 He's not saying it goes

00:45:03.020 from the moment

00:45:03.940 that Putin did invade Ukraine

00:45:05.140 because gas prices

00:45:05.940 were already going up

00:45:06.560 long before that.

00:45:07.260 But he's saying

00:45:07.480 before, right when Putin

00:45:09.600 was amassing the troops,

00:45:11.080 the market,

00:45:11.960 the market was pricing in

00:45:14.240 that Putin could invade Ukraine.

00:45:16.100 And that's why gas prices

00:45:17.120 went up.

00:45:18.700 Half true,

00:45:19.500 half a distraction.

00:45:22.660 Gas prices had been going up

00:45:24.340 for much longer

00:45:25.780 than Putin amassing troops

00:45:27.420 on the border.

00:45:28.480 Gas prices had been going up

00:45:29.880 for Joe Biden's

00:45:30.980 entire presidency.

00:45:33.380 They certainly spiked

00:45:35.200 because of the Putin invasion,

00:45:36.480 but they had been going up

00:45:37.300 a lot longer than that.

00:45:38.360 Inflation had been going up

00:45:39.740 a lot longer than that.

00:45:40.880 Why?

00:45:41.460 Well, you explained it, Joe.

00:45:42.720 You said that the,

00:45:43.660 Putin didn't need to invade

00:45:45.360 for the prices to go up

00:45:47.340 because the market

00:45:48.000 was pricing it in.

00:45:49.500 So why were gas prices

00:45:51.260 and other prices going up

00:45:52.400 after Biden entered office?

00:45:55.040 Because the market

00:45:56.120 was pricing it in.

00:45:57.460 Joe Biden says,

00:45:58.540 well,

00:45:59.340 the Keystone pipeline

00:46:00.580 was two years out

00:46:01.500 from being operational.

00:46:02.920 So what effect

00:46:03.900 would that have on prices?

00:46:05.640 The effect is

00:46:06.640 the market was pricing it in.

00:46:08.660 And it wasn't just

00:46:09.200 the Keystone pipeline.

00:46:10.240 Yes, Joe Biden

00:46:11.020 on his first day in office

00:46:11.700 shuts down

00:46:12.300 this major pipeline

00:46:13.560 that would have improved

00:46:15.040 the American energy sector.

00:46:16.600 But he also put an end

00:46:18.180 to new oil and gas leases.

00:46:20.860 He put a temporary halt on them.

00:46:22.660 Now he's got

00:46:23.180 an indefinite halt on them.

00:46:25.020 So what's that going to do

00:46:25.960 to energy prices in America?

00:46:27.340 They're going to go up.

00:46:28.600 But those new gas leases,

00:46:30.380 they were new.

00:46:31.340 So they hadn't,

00:46:31.860 it's not as though

00:46:32.320 there was drilling going on

00:46:33.340 and then Biden

00:46:33.820 shut them down.

00:46:35.040 Right.

00:46:35.580 But what Biden was saying

00:46:36.580 is no new oil,

00:46:37.780 no new gas.

00:46:38.360 And so the market

00:46:39.000 priced it in.

00:46:39.780 His own logic

00:46:41.380 undercuts his argument here.

00:46:44.560 Joe Biden bears responsibility

00:46:47.240 for the high gas prices.

00:46:49.560 Joe Biden bears responsibility

00:46:51.180 for inflation.

00:46:52.380 By the way,

00:46:52.720 it's not only gas

00:46:53.400 that's causing inflation.

00:46:55.040 Printing lots and lots of money

00:46:56.340 has to do with inflation too.

00:46:58.900 Joe Biden knows this.

00:47:00.380 He's trying to blame

00:47:00.920 everything on Putin.

00:47:01.820 Putin ain't my homework.

00:47:02.720 The buck stops with Putin.

00:47:03.980 It's not persuasive at all.

00:47:05.940 And so the White House

00:47:07.720 can't make a sound argument

00:47:09.280 on this economic

00:47:10.080 or political or otherwise.

00:47:11.180 So they've got to rope in

00:47:12.140 TikTokers to try to push

00:47:13.620 their propaganda for them.

00:47:15.340 Why is gas so expensive

00:47:17.060 and why is the United States

00:47:18.480 inflation rate

00:47:19.220 at a four time decade high?

00:47:21.540 I had the opportunity

00:47:22.500 to ask the White House

00:47:23.660 why gas down the street

00:47:24.820 is seven dollars

00:47:25.820 and here's what they said.

00:47:27.320 The obvious reason

00:47:28.620 we're getting out

00:47:29.400 of a two year pandemic

00:47:30.400 when use goes up,

00:47:31.780 price goes up.

00:47:33.080 But the call is predominantly

00:47:34.320 about Ukraine and Russia.

00:47:35.400 So how does that relate?

00:47:37.280 Russia is one of the top

00:47:38.560 three producers of oil

00:47:39.800 and it is actually

00:47:40.600 their number one revenue source.

00:47:43.140 Now with Putin starting

00:47:44.280 this horrific fight

00:47:45.580 between Ukraine and Russia,

00:47:47.240 nobody wants to work with him

00:47:48.400 and do an international trade.

00:47:50.260 So with people being scared

00:47:51.380 of war and limited resources,

00:47:53.600 prices are bound to go up as well.

00:47:55.340 For the people who can't pay

00:47:56.580 seven dollars for a gallon of gas,

00:47:58.680 there's an app called Gas Buddy

00:48:00.080 that shows you

00:48:00.760 the cheapest gas near you.

00:48:02.360 As well as a link in my bio

00:48:03.820 to donate to the

00:48:04.620 misplaced refugees of Ukraine.

00:48:08.280 I think it's a pretty bad look

00:48:10.040 at a time when the United States

00:48:11.940 is focusing on Russian propaganda

00:48:14.560 and Chinese propaganda

00:48:16.600 and we're banning the Russian

00:48:18.120 and the Chinese propaganda

00:48:19.440 from a lot of our airwaves.

00:48:21.160 I think it's probably a bad look

00:48:22.760 to so transparently push

00:48:26.220 our own propaganda,

00:48:28.180 the White House propaganda,

00:48:29.740 through these TikTokers.

00:48:31.360 The one good thing

00:48:33.320 you can say about it

00:48:34.200 is that we are much worse

00:48:37.280 at propaganda

00:48:37.960 than the Chinese

00:48:38.920 and the Russians are.

00:48:40.640 You know, the Soviet Union,

00:48:42.840 they were truly some of the masters

00:48:45.280 of agitprop and propaganda

00:48:46.860 in the history of the world.

00:48:48.180 China's been very good at it too.

00:48:49.860 And the best Joe Biden can muster

00:48:51.400 is some lady on TikTok,

00:48:53.800 some lady who I don't think

00:48:54.900 is particularly expert

00:48:56.060 in political economies.

00:48:57.320 And she goes out there

00:48:59.540 and says, you know, like,

00:49:00.780 and I talked to the White House today.

00:49:02.420 She doesn't even hide it.

00:49:03.440 You know, the White House

00:49:04.220 had all of us TikTokers on

00:49:05.640 and told us what talking points to push.

00:49:07.440 So those are my talking points.

00:49:09.040 And Biden's good.

00:49:10.900 So the one thing

00:49:13.460 that can make you believe

00:49:15.180 there's some hope for America

00:49:16.360 is our ruling class

00:49:18.080 is so incompetent.

00:49:19.860 Joe Biden is so incompetent

00:49:21.560 that when they push their propaganda,

00:49:23.200 it's absolutely transparent.

00:49:25.460 Speaking of economic problems,

00:49:26.580 I have to get to this story today

00:49:27.900 before we go.

00:49:29.640 Colin Kaepernick.

00:49:31.560 Colin Kaepernick,

00:49:32.940 you know, he's most famous

00:49:34.460 for disrespecting the American flag.

00:49:38.100 The next thing he's most famous for

00:49:39.760 is being okay at football,

00:49:41.320 but he's most famous

00:49:42.560 for disrespecting the American flag,

00:49:43.820 calling America a terrible, racist,

00:49:45.200 a horrible place,

00:49:46.180 disrespecting the founding fathers.

00:49:47.600 So Colin Kaepernick

00:49:48.440 is begging to play in the NFL again.

00:49:51.200 He says,

00:49:52.260 for the past five years,

00:49:53.040 I've been working out

00:49:53.580 and staying ready

00:49:54.060 in case an opportunity to play

00:49:55.540 presented itself.

00:49:56.580 I'm really grateful to my trainer

00:49:57.940 who I've been throwing to all this time,

00:49:59.700 but man,

00:50:00.040 do I miss throwing

00:50:00.960 a professional route runners.

00:50:02.320 Who's working?

00:50:03.060 I will pull up.

00:50:04.520 Now, this is really strange

00:50:05.740 because a few months ago,

00:50:08.540 Colin Kaepernick released a video

00:50:10.400 in which he said

00:50:11.860 that playing for the NFL

00:50:12.880 is like being a slave

00:50:16.180 on a plantation in the Old South.

00:50:18.560 And he compared tryouts in the NFL

00:50:20.660 to slaves going up at auction.

00:50:22.660 And then the rich white owners

00:50:24.240 come by and decide

00:50:25.080 which one of these burly black men

00:50:27.600 they want to purchase

00:50:28.660 to make money off of.

00:50:30.340 It's just like,

00:50:30.800 it's like playing.

00:50:31.800 And at the time,

00:50:33.300 I said,

00:50:34.020 it's a little weird

00:50:35.220 that Colin Kaepernick,

00:50:36.240 who has spent every minute

00:50:37.340 of the last five years

00:50:38.440 trying to get back in the NFL,

00:50:40.840 would say that working for the NFL

00:50:42.220 is like being a slave.

00:50:43.520 And now we see it again.

00:50:45.640 It would seem that argument too,

00:50:47.560 completely bogus.

00:50:50.380 Absolutely no integrity,

00:50:52.760 no sincerity at all.

00:50:54.700 We've just got a disgruntled

00:50:56.040 former employee

00:50:57.060 who's willing to tear down

00:50:59.160 the country,

00:51:00.040 the league in the country

00:51:00.980 that gave him so much

00:51:02.020 because he feels

00:51:03.060 personally jilted by it

00:51:04.760 because he didn't quite

00:51:06.060 make the cut.

00:51:08.780 That is what we're looking at here.

00:51:11.160 That is a social

00:51:13.100 and political breakdown

00:51:14.300 that one,

00:51:15.540 makes it very hard

00:51:16.180 to project American power overseas

00:51:17.640 because we've got so much

00:51:18.720 discord here at home.

00:51:20.000 A total upending

00:51:21.020 of our American way of life,

00:51:22.840 of our sense of rights,

00:51:23.700 and more importantly,

00:51:24.780 of our sense of duties.

00:51:26.720 We're also wrapped up

00:51:28.000 in our own myopia.

00:51:30.040 We're also wrapped up

00:51:31.940 not even just in our own

00:51:33.180 preferences and interests,

00:51:34.300 but in our own fantasies,

00:51:35.540 our own delusions.

00:51:36.720 We've got people running away

00:51:37.900 from their country

00:51:38.580 because they're women

00:51:40.220 who pretend to be men

00:51:41.020 who want to be women

00:51:41.640 at the first chance of danger.

00:51:43.220 Well, a man wrapped up

00:51:44.240 in himself

00:51:44.580 makes a very small package indeed.

00:51:46.340 Maybe focus on duty,

00:51:47.440 maybe focus on anything

00:51:48.660 outside of you.

00:51:49.560 You will live a better life.

00:51:50.860 We will have a better country.

00:52:45.960 Today on The Matt Walsh Show,

00:52:47.900 protesters made a scene

00:52:49.020 at my Georgia Tech speech

00:52:50.100 last night,

00:52:50.800 though further investigation

00:52:51.900 indicates that they

00:52:52.800 didn't know exactly

00:52:53.840 why they were there

00:52:54.720 or what they were mad about.

00:52:56.460 No surprise, I suppose.

00:52:57.360 Also, the White House

00:52:58.140 debriefed TikTok stars

00:52:59.720 on the Ukraine situation,

00:53:01.600 and now those influencers

00:53:02.460 are dutifully repeating

00:53:03.840 the government propaganda

00:53:04.980 assigned to them.

00:53:06.000 Plus, some parents

00:53:06.880 are upset about

00:53:07.340 the new Pixar film,

00:53:08.400 claiming that it's not

00:53:09.000 appropriate for children.

00:53:09.860 We'll take a look

00:53:10.200 at their complaints

00:53:10.780 and see if they're justified.

00:53:12.340 And an NBA player

00:53:13.200 complains that insults

00:53:15.020 and heckling from fans

00:53:16.120 is causing him

00:53:17.040 mental pain and anguish.

00:53:18.580 Now, we've heard the same thing

00:53:19.360 from a number of female athletes,

00:53:21.000 though the public reaction

00:53:22.040 is quite a bit different.

00:53:23.580 And we'll try to figure out

00:53:24.400 why that could be the case.

00:53:25.380 And what exactly

00:53:26.120 is public health equity?

00:53:28.140 Well, it's more than

00:53:28.900 a jobs program for bureaucrats,

00:53:30.740 though it's mainly that,

00:53:31.720 but it's more than that as well.

00:53:32.940 We'll discuss that

00:53:33.560 and much more today

00:53:34.340 on The Matt Walsh Show.
