Ep. 964 - It’s A Man’s World
Summary
USA Today has named its Women of the Year, and Assistant Secretary of Health Richard Levine has made the list. This is one small step for a man and one giant leap backward for women. The message here in Philadelphia, in Love Park is that trans rights are human rights. You have worth just for who you are, no matter who you love. No matter your gender, identity, sexual orientation or anything else. And to be true to yourself, and then everything else will follow.

USA Today has just announced its Women of the Year,
00:00:41.640
and Assistant Secretary of Health Richard Levine has made the list.
00:00:48.120
This is one small step for a man and one giant leap backward for women.
00:00:54.080
The message here in Philadelphia, in Love Park, is that trans rights are human rights.
00:01:03.060
You have tremendous worth just for who you are, no matter who you love, no matter who you are,
00:01:08.840
no matter what your gender, identity, sexual orientation, or anything else.
00:01:12.960
And to be true to that, and then everything else will follow.
00:01:17.200
And it highlights something which I truly believe in, which is the value of diversity.
00:01:32.260
He certainly adds diversity to the list of Women of the Year.
00:01:39.800
His message, the whole headline of the article in USA Today, is be true to yourself.
00:01:47.740
But transgenderism does precisely the opposite of that.
00:01:51.320
It encourages people to be dishonest with themselves, to lie to themselves and to everybody else,
00:01:57.640
to pretend that reality is different than it really is.
00:02:10.180
The only thing that I do know about Richard Levine is that he is not true to himself.
00:02:17.420
Our society is now so divorced from truth that we call men women.
00:02:43.480
My favorite comment yesterday is from Nosferatu and friends, who says, Biden shuts down pipeline
00:02:53.820
That pipeline was two years away from completion.
00:02:56.880
This is one of the aspects of the whole keystone pipeline debate that is least talked about.
00:03:03.220
One of the Democrat talking points is, no, you can't blame high gas prices and rising energy
00:03:08.280
costs on us shutting down the keystone pipeline.
00:03:16.060
And two years is priced into oil and gas prices.
00:03:19.380
And if they had just let the damn thing be built, we'd almost be finished with it by
00:03:28.340

One giant leap back toward the most ancient, bizarre, pagan, occult ideologies, transgenderism.
00:04:49.220
That is what Mr. Levine's selection as one of the women of the year suggests.
00:04:56.440
And the worst part is women think that all of the damage that has been done to them in
00:05:07.000
The other day was Ruth Bader Ginsburg's birthday.
00:05:13.900
There was a tweet that went viral about RBG's birthday that really epitomized, I think, feminist
00:05:23.540
This person said, today would have been Ruth Bader Ginsburg's 89th birthday.
00:05:34.720
Now, you know, before that justice lady who was appointed in the 90s, before women, not
00:05:44.080
They were completely useless, totally oppressed.
00:05:46.460
And then after the early 1990s, after Ruth Bader Ginsburg, now they're so empowered that
00:05:56.900
And when I say women's jobs, I'm not saying the jobs in the office places that women have
00:06:03.600
I mean, men have now taken the job of being women.
00:06:05.820
Even that is not available to women anymore because the men have taken it.
00:06:15.960
You can't even say that she broke the glass ceiling.
00:06:19.700
Ruth Bader Ginsburg wasn't even the first female Supreme Court justice.
00:06:23.000
That was Sandra Day O'Connor appointed by Ronald Reagan.
00:06:28.400
She voted with the court's liberals on a bunch of cases and that's it.
00:06:33.960
The most interesting thing the woman did in her life was be friends with Antonin Scalia.
00:06:41.400
Moreover, the position of women has not improved.
00:06:44.140
I saw this tweet and some people criticized it and they said, what are you talking about?
00:06:51.120
You know, I think women were a force to be reckoned with before the 90s.
00:06:54.400
I think there have been pretty impressive women throughout history like, I don't know, Queen Elizabeth, the Virgin Mary, Joan of Arc, Marie Curie for that matter.
00:07:04.140
There have been a lot of women, right, who have done things in this world and it didn't all begin with Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
00:07:10.180
So someone said, well, no, Michael, what you don't understand is before they were applying this to Ruth Ginsburg, which didn't make sense.
00:07:17.700
But let's just say before the last 50 or so years, women didn't have lots of the rights that they now enjoy.
00:07:24.000
Rights such as, and I'm quoting one of the responses, the right to divorce, the right to work, the right to access birth control and abortion.
00:07:40.680
It's true that now women have more opportunities to go work in the widget factory like men do.
00:07:45.760
Women have the wonderful right to go do spreadsheets for some other guy and waste away their lives.
00:07:58.920
Women now have the right for men to use them for sex and throw them away like they're worthless.
00:08:07.780
Women have the right to divorce and have their husbands leave them without any consequences or accountability whatsoever.
00:08:25.960
I take social science with a grain of salt, but I will cite the statistics when they back up my opinion.
00:08:36.480
I think most social science is bogus and unreliable, but I am more than happy to cite the left's own statistics when it serves my purpose.
00:08:44.680
And on the question of female happiness, the statistics are very clear.
00:08:48.380
Since second wave feminism, since all of these rights, quote unquote, came into place that all of these feminists are quoting, women have become less happy, both relative to men and in absolute terms.
00:09:03.880
So it's not even just like everyone got less happy, men got less happy too.
00:09:07.580
Sure, but even relative to men, women got much less happy.
00:09:14.820
Now men are allowed to be women, and the category of women is no longer said to exist.
00:09:26.660
Women have lost pretty much everything, all in the name of progress.
00:09:31.060
If that's progress, if that's achievement, I think maybe you've got to check your premises.
00:09:35.360
This issue here of abortion, as some right, it's now sort of the sacrament of the left.
00:09:40.460
It's the most sacred, quote unquote, right on the left.
00:09:43.700
It's why they go so crazy every time Roe versus Wade is threatened.
00:09:51.240
Obviously, it kills the baby, but it's really bad for women too.
00:09:56.780
The actress Evan Rachel Wood is in this new documentary about Marilyn Manson.
00:10:00.960
She dated Marilyn Manson, the most famous Satanist in America.
00:10:06.060
And it turns out he's apparently not a great guy.
00:10:10.300
Turns out everyone's parents in the 1990s was right.
00:10:13.920
The really famous Satanist is kind of a weirdo and kind of cruel and kind of sadistic.
00:10:20.920
And although their romantic relationship was consensual, sort of, he still subjected this
00:10:31.180
And one of the things that she alleges he subjected her to was he would not use a condom.
00:10:39.680
He would not let her take the birth control pill.
00:10:42.720
She became pregnant and he pressured her to go get an abortion.
00:10:46.080
This, Evan Rachel Wood cites as one of the most traumatic events in her life.
00:10:55.520
I thought this was a great right to be celebrated.
00:10:58.000
I thought this was the most important, sacred constitutional right that we all need to stand
00:11:03.840
Well, Evan Rachel Wood tries to square that circle.
00:11:06.300
She says, I obviously believe in a woman's right to choose, but that doesn't mean it wasn't
00:11:12.360
And after she got the abortion, she was so depressed, she became suicidal and she actually
00:11:23.720
I know women, I know a number of women who have had abortions and it has really, really
00:11:33.700
That's the next question that Evan Rachel Wood has to ask herself.
00:11:37.820
I believe in a woman's right to choose, but I was devastated.
00:11:46.760
Because it's so obviously wrong that no amount of ideology can convince you otherwise.
00:11:52.300
No amount of ideology can suppress that nagging voice, which is your conscience, which is telling
00:12:05.420
But you've got to acknowledge that what you did was wrong and she seems unwilling to do
00:12:11.520
She says, I obviously believe in a woman's right to choose.
00:12:16.940
Because of this so-called right, you tried to kill yourself because you exercised that
00:12:21.960
Maybe you were sold a bill of goods by an ideology that has made you miserable, has made your
00:12:32.340
culture coarser, and has made your country so confused that it can no longer tell the
00:12:39.340
We've got to protect our communities, including the most local community, the household, which
00:12:55.900
There's an award-winning security system with available professional monitoring when you
00:13:01.540
Amazing system where you can easily install it yourself.
00:13:04.520
Well, you might not know that recently I've gone pro.
00:13:17.920
CNET calls Ring Alarm Pro a giant leap for home security.
00:13:22.720
After using it, you're going to see exactly what we're talking about.
00:13:26.680
Ring Alarm Pro helps protect the entire home and the Wi-Fi it runs on.
00:13:31.660
With Ring Alarm Pro, Ring combined, a home security system, and a Wi-Fi router.
00:13:36.740
So it protects your home and your network, your physical world, your virtual world.
00:13:45.180
Now it makes me feel more secure digitally as well as physically for my family when I'm
00:13:59.640
Speaking of violence, we have an update from criminal justice reform.
00:14:05.300
You know, I've been doing these sort of regular updates on criminal justice reform because
00:14:09.640
we are told the worst problem in America is over-incarceration and the criminals are the
00:14:16.160
real victims and we've got to focus on what we as a society have done to force these people
00:14:24.680
So I want to see how this is going because what we were told was if we go softer on the
00:14:29.300
criminals and we let them out of prison and we let them get away with their crimes, then
00:14:37.160
We'll sing Kumbaya and play in drum circles together.
00:14:42.060
So in one of the latest attacks, a brutal and unprovoked attack, a young man, relatively
00:14:49.600
young man, 40-year-old man, was caught on surveillance footage at a Seattle subway station
00:14:54.880
grabbing a 62-year-old woman, Kim Hayes, and throwing her down a flight of cement steps.
00:15:00.540
This was at the Chinatown International District Station.
00:15:10.840
She was going in to this hospital to work and then around noontime, so broad daylight,
00:15:16.500
right at lunch, this guy comes up, flings her down a flight of cement stairs.
00:15:25.520
You're not going to, you sound just as utopian as the left.
00:15:29.780
That's true, but I think I could have predicted this one because this guy, Alexander Jay, has
00:15:36.000
been convicted 22 times of crimes in Washington State and California, and it wasn't insider
00:15:45.800
We're not talking about white-collar crimes here.
00:15:49.380
He was convicted of burglary, theft, selling stolen property, drug possession, auto theft,
00:16:00.360
Don't you think people deserve a second chance?
00:16:05.480
I don't believe in 20 second chances, but maybe it was a long time ago.
00:16:14.100
He was just last year convicted of a residential burglary.
00:16:17.980
He's been issued more than 15 bench warrants since 2016 by Washington courts, and he failed
00:16:37.060
After the third offense, what do they say in baseball?
00:16:46.000
If this guy is going to keep committing all of these offenses, at the very least, he has
00:16:54.640
That's the most moderate punishment I could imagine.
00:17:00.000
He's out there doing horrible things to other people and to himself.
00:17:06.180
He's harming himself, his soul, probably his body.
00:17:12.100
And he's going to go throw another 60-year-old woman down the stairs.
00:17:21.680
Our problem, we're just too tough on these guys.
00:17:25.640
No, the 62-year-old woman never had a chance because you let these animals run around society
00:17:42.880
Here's the New York Times story from this attack up in Yonkers.
00:17:46.500
Man hit woman in the head 125 times because she was Asian, officials say.
00:17:52.820
67-year-old woman wearing a white face mask and dark hooded jacket and pushing a shopping cart
00:17:58.340
enters an apartment building in Yonkers, New York.
00:18:00.740
As she moves to unlock the door, a man comes up behind her and hits her in the head with
00:18:05.540
The force of the blow knocks the woman to the ground.
00:18:08.200
As she lies there, her attacker bends down and pummels her repeatedly with both hands
00:18:16.480
He then stomps on her seven times and spits on her before walking away.
00:18:22.000
This is one of the most appalling attacks I have ever seen, says John J. Muller, the Yonkers
00:18:31.260
Targeting her because of his race makes it more so.
00:18:34.020
So this guy, he was just a totally unpredictable one-off attack, right?
00:18:38.700
There was nothing we could have possibly done to stop this.
00:18:41.820
Crime happens and, oh no, he had 14 previous arrests.
00:18:45.760
Half of them on felony charges, according to the Yonkers police.
00:18:50.020
Convicted of assault in 2011, sentenced to just over three years in prison, released on
00:18:54.800
parole after two and a half because he's such a good guy.
00:18:56.760
Uh, then he was released in October, 2013, according to state prison records.
00:19:09.240
Because of compassion, because he's the real victim.
00:19:11.620
And the woman who almost got murdered by this savage, well, she's, you know, she's just kind
00:19:16.680
of part of the system, the institution, the society.
00:19:19.720
And boy, didn't that society fail this poor man?
00:19:22.460
Gosh, we got to do something about all this over-incarceration.
00:19:26.380
This leads to not just bad outcomes for the victims and for the individual, it leads to
00:19:32.500
bad outcomes for the society, for the whole community.
00:19:34.960
I think of what's one of the worst towns in America right now, San Francisco.
00:19:39.760
And the crazy part about that is in San Francisco right now, the city, which is falling into just
00:19:47.960
mayhem and drugs everywhere, human feces on the street, the cost of living is impossible
00:19:53.200
still somehow, San Francisco is boycotting the rest of the United States.
00:20:02.900
Well, there was a March 4th memo that went out from the city administrator, Carmen Chu,
00:20:07.640
that shows that San Francisco will not enter into contracts with businesses headquartered in
00:20:19.560
They won't do this because those states have what San Francisco deems to be anti-LGBT laws.
00:20:26.940
And by anti-LGBT laws, sometimes that just means they won't let dudes go into the little
00:20:32.100
But because of these laws, San Francisco is boycotting the states.
00:20:39.140
Now, I bet official travel to African countries that throw, or Middle Eastern countries that
00:20:45.400
throw gay guys off of rooftops, I bet that that's not officially prohibited in any of
00:20:51.760
But traveling to, I don't know, Georgia, traveling to, actually some, traveling to Nevada, traveling
00:20:57.580
to New Hampshire, North Carolina, Wisconsin, prohibited if you're in San Francisco.
00:21:09.800
Okay, this is, this is not, I guess this is the conclusion of radical individualism.
00:21:17.160
Because some people will say, well, San Francisco can do whatever San Francisco wants.
00:21:23.720
And if you're a city, if you're a state in the United States, you can't just boycott
00:21:35.480
That's what a republic is, is you hold things in common and you work to better those things.
00:21:40.560
You work to better the whole society by working on your common good.
00:21:46.520
But real countries know the difference between men and women.
00:21:48.800
So we are pretty far through the looking glass.
00:21:54.120
Is there any hope that we can have some standards that we all agree on?
00:21:58.840
For example, Representative Thomas Massey, great GOP representative, and 16 other House
00:22:04.340
Republicans are suing the CDC over its mask mandate on flights.
00:22:09.360
You know, the libs want to convince you that COVID is over, but it's not really over.
00:22:14.380
They've kept their emergency, national emergency authorization.
00:22:20.000
They're keeping the ability to spin this thing up just after the midterm elections.
00:22:23.720
So 17 GOP members, led by Thomas Massey, are suing the CDC, and they're making two claims.
00:22:30.180
They say, first, none of the statutes or regulations cited by the CDC for the authority to mandate
00:22:35.260
that individuals wear masks on commercial airlines, conveyances, and at transportation
00:22:39.280
hubs permit the CDC to implement or enforce this mandate.
00:22:44.740
So none of the laws that the CDC is citing as giving them this power actually gives them
00:22:51.760
And then two, Massey says, even if Congress had granted the CDC the authority to promulgate
00:22:57.600
the mask mandate, the granting of this authority would violate a principle known as the non-delegation
00:23:03.320
So he's saying, even if the CDC could cite laws, the Congress doesn't have the right
00:23:07.360
to outsource to the CDC a rule requiring you all to muzzle yourselves every time you go
00:23:13.360
I don't know the legal arguments for or against his point on the non-delegation doctrine, but
00:23:30.020
The only way that we are ever going to get back to a more coherent kind of country is if
00:23:39.240
we take this power back, they're not going to give it voluntarily.
00:23:43.760
You actually have the president of the United States right now.
00:23:47.580
He was speaking the other day and he said that the husband of the first lady has COVID.
00:23:55.240
I was going to say, look at this stage, but that's enough too.
00:24:01.520
But there's been a little change in the arrangement of who's on the stage because of the first
00:24:49.720
One, is it any surprise that Vladimir Putin and our enemies around the world are attacking
00:25:04.760
And he says, oh, we're a little social distanced here because someone who's related to someone
00:25:11.060
They are champing at the bit to use this COVID stuff again.
00:25:16.680
They're just trying to get through the midterms.
00:25:21.120
This is a once in a generation chance to take away the power seized by parts of the government.
00:25:35.560
Your national and personal identity with LifeLock.
00:25:42.480
The tax filing deadline is right around the corner.
00:25:45.640
With it brings IRS scammers looking to steal your money and your personal information.
00:25:51.160
The most common scams take place on the phone or via email.
00:25:56.380
Do not give information out or send money to anyone over the phone.
00:26:00.360
Always ask for everything in writing and only interact with websites that end with .gov.
00:26:05.940
It's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft are affecting our lives.
00:26:10.540
Every day, especially this time of year, we are putting information at risk on the internet in an instant.
00:26:17.020
A cybercriminal could steal what's yours, sometimes even harm your finances and your credit.
00:26:23.820
LifeLock helps detect a wide range of identity threats, such as your social security number for sale on the dark web.
00:26:29.080
You have access to a dedicated restoration specialist if you become a victim.

It is out now, specifically today, to celebrate the two-year, celebrate, to commemorate,

00:27:07.540
This would be a documentary series that we've worked on on Dr. Fauci.
00:27:15.740
Your humble host leads you through the untold story of Dr. Fauci going all the way back to the 1980s,
00:27:35.380
oh, they're going to get Fauci out of the news.
00:27:37.200
Ever since I launched my public health protection pledge,
00:27:40.880
ever since Fauci had a lot of members of Congress and congressional candidates coming on saying,
00:27:50.520
You'll notice all of a sudden, Fauci just disappeared.
00:27:53.200
He basically went into the witness protection program.
00:27:55.680
Democrats realized he was really hurting their numbers.
00:28:01.880
Just yesterday, Rand Paul came out and proposed an amendment to get rid of Dr. Fauci's position.
00:28:07.860
We've got Congressman Paul Gosar in the House of Representatives supporting my pledge to say that Dr. Fauci will have his salary zeroed out and that he will be investigated.
00:28:25.160
He's the highest paid employee in our federal government.
00:28:28.600
And beginning in the spring of 2020, Dr. Fauci began to set national policy that affected the way that 330 million Americans lived their lives.
00:28:38.440
For goodness sakes, I'm telling you, wear a mask, keep social distancing.
00:28:50.540
Those are people that don't particularly care for me.
00:28:53.560
In this short series, we will do what the establishment media have refused to do.
00:28:57.900
We will give you an unvarnished look at the career of the most powerful politician in America, Dr. Anthony Fauci.
00:29:06.220

Also, Daily Wire has got its first book coming out, 12 Seconds in the Dark by Sergeant Mattingly.
00:29:34.560
Tells the true story of what happened the night of the Breonna Taylor shooting.
00:29:37.620
It's available now on Amazon or anywhere you buy books.
00:29:56.540
There is a story that has nothing to do with Russia, has nothing to do with COVID, has nothing to do with crime, has nothing to do with the economy.
00:30:05.140
It's one of those rare little glimmers of light and hope in our culture.
00:30:11.100
And it's coming from Ralph Lauren, the clothing maker, the sort of Americana clothing maker.
00:30:17.700
Ralph Lauren has just unveiled a fashion line for historically black colleges and universities.
00:30:29.720
Now, some people are going to hear that and say, oh, this is going to be some woke thing.
00:30:34.860
They're going to focus on identity politics and it's black identity and it's going to be the same old woke stuff we've always heard.
00:30:43.200
The most jarring aspect, I guess, given the fact that we live in this crazy identitarian world, the most jarring aspect of Ralph Lauren's new clothing line for historically black colleges and universities is that it's no different from Ralph Lauren's clothing line for any other college and university.
00:31:03.340
And it's no different than all the other clothes that he makes.
00:31:05.220
It's a kind of traditional American, slightly preppy, really put together clothing line.
00:31:14.980
I absolutely love this because what this campaign is saying is that black people are just like other people.
00:31:26.360
They're not some different species that needs to be treated totally differently.
00:31:31.520
You could see a lesser fashion designer going in and say, OK, we're going to we're going to design clothing for black people.
00:31:38.620
And so, you know, we're going to design pants that have to be worn at your ankles and we're going to design really overpriced sneakers and we're going to design.
00:31:46.660
We're going to dress people up like Flavor Flavor something that that's the real black experience.
00:31:51.540
And that's that's what black people have to dress like.
00:31:53.940
And the white people can dress like white people and the black people can dress like black people.
00:31:57.500
And what Ralph Lauren has done is said, no, you know, I'm going to design tasteful clothing that is within the American tradition that has been worn before we all went crazy with identity politics that has been worn by white people and black people and all sorts of people.
00:32:12.840
I'm just going to design clothing according to a standard of beauty and class and dignity.
00:32:20.640
And then I'm going to say this is the clothing for black people as if to say black people are not only Americans, too, but black people are people, too.
00:32:35.000
They're capable of understanding standards of beauty.
00:32:37.140
They're capable of dressing in a way that is dignified and uplifting because, of course, they are.
00:32:43.160
And everyone knew this was the case until, what, 20, 30 years ago when the country went crazy with political correctness and multiculturalism.
00:32:51.500
And and now we're living in a world where to pander to black people, Nancy Pelosi is wearing Kente scarves.
00:32:58.220
And, you know, she's two seconds away from, you know, putting her fist in the air and doing a performance of a black panther.
00:33:03.780
It's it's a very silly world that we're living in.
00:33:10.500
It's not particularly good for standards of beauty and dignity.
00:33:14.760
It's certainly not good for the American tradition, which that kind of ideology seeks to subvert.
00:33:19.200
And Ralph Lauren comes in and he says, OK, you're ready for my wild and crazy new style for black people.
00:33:25.520
It's the same style I make for everyone else because it looks good.
00:33:30.700
You've got sweaters that have, you know, the Morehouse logo or Spelman or Tuskegee.
00:33:36.340
You could replace those letters with an H or Y and a P and have it say Harvard, Yale or Princeton.
00:33:46.760
Recognize we're we're all kind of part of this tradition here.
00:33:49.940
We've we've got a lot more in common and we should elevate ourselves, not abase ourselves, as lots of cultures have done in recent decades.
00:34:03.320
Speaking of racial issues, there is a major racial racist hate crime incident at a Catholic high school in Rochester, according to the newspapers.
00:34:16.560
You see, according to the newspapers, there was a graffiti incident at Our Lady of Mercy School for Young Women last week.
00:34:24.940
Someone graffitied the N word on a bathroom wall.
00:34:31.080
And on the back, it said this school is filled with a bunch of N words, not the words, you know, the people get out or else.
00:34:40.900
And then, man, there were protests outside of this school.
00:34:49.340
I don't even need to tell you the conclusion of this story.
00:34:52.400
Sensible people, people with two brain cells to rub together who have not been completely brainwashed by ideology, will look at that headline.
00:35:08.280
I mean, you know, the human heart is evil from its beginning.
00:35:10.800
But beyond that base level of original sin in a fallen world, yeah, racism is fake.
00:35:17.220
The only legal racism is against whites and Asians in affirmative action and that sort of legal discrimination.
00:35:23.160
But if you're telling me that this is a country run by Klansmen where lynchings are commonplace or exist at all, where crosses are burning on lawns, I'm going to tell you you're a complete lunatic.
00:35:34.280
And so when we see these alleged incidents, we just know 999,999 times out of a million, they're going to be fake.
00:35:55.660
But according to all of the reports, it's a black student.
00:36:04.160
I have a chapter of my book, Speechless, Controlling Words, Controlling Minds, number one national bestseller, dedicated to incidents such as this.
00:36:14.320
I don't think it happens necessarily because these kids are malicious.
00:36:21.740
I think they're trying to resolve a sort of cognitive dissonance.
00:36:25.620
They are told that they live in a culture that hates black people, where whitey, where the patriarchy, where the man keeps them down.
00:36:36.840
And where, as LeBron James says, a black person can't walk outside in America without being hunted down.
00:36:43.000
And that's what they're taught from their earliest stages.
00:36:49.280
And then the reality does not conform to that delusion.
00:37:07.000
People aren't taking racism seriously here because there isn't any of it.
00:37:16.160
And, you know, it won't be honest in this case.
00:37:22.640
Because I know, because of my ideology, I know that these incidents are happening all over the country.
00:37:27.760
And it's merely my misfortune that they're not happening at this school.
00:37:31.180
So I could show everybody how horrible and racist America really is.
00:37:35.700
So I'm just going to, you know, I'm going to get the ball rolling a little bit and just write this in.
00:37:39.860
And that'll show, this lie will show them the truth.
00:37:42.200
Of course it doesn't, because all of these incidents that are allegedly happening, that are forming their worldview, are hoaxes.
00:37:51.620
You see it really most clearly in our Woman of the Year, according to USA Today.
00:38:06.320
Are you going to change your disordered thinking?
00:38:08.820
Are you going to change your fantasy to bring it in line with reality?
00:38:12.400
It would seem like that's the easiest thing to do.
00:38:13.860
It's a lot cheaper and less painful than undergoing surgeries.
00:38:22.620
You see it working on young girls at a Catholic school in Rochester.
00:38:27.640
You see it working on grown men who are somehow the assistant secretary of health.
00:38:32.840
Now, speaking of violence, speaking of real violence, Russia has just fired a cruise missile into western Ukraine.
00:38:43.520
So you're seeing an escalation of the war there.
00:38:46.220
It begins with troops around the border, then an incursion into the eastern regions.
00:38:51.640
Then you see the tanks rolling in, but not a ton of shelling.
00:38:54.520
Then there's shelling, but they're trying to go after military targets.
00:38:58.260
Now we've got cruise missiles just flying in the Russians.
00:39:05.620
You see this throughout Russian history, most recently probably in the Second World War.
00:39:13.460
So Russia fires the cruise missiles in, but what's most interesting about this story
00:39:16.720
is that the cruise missiles were apparently fired, not from within Ukraine.
00:39:33.860
Why do they need to fire a cruise missile from Russian airspace?
00:39:38.580
They're doing that to put the final nail in the coffin of a no-fly zone imposed by the United States and NATO.
00:39:44.800
The point of a no-fly zone is that you've got American fighter jets flying all overhead,
00:39:50.920
and if any Russian airplane is in Ukrainian airspace, the Americans or NATO or whoever will shoot down that airplane.
00:40:00.300
There can be no incursions on Ukrainian airspace.
00:40:04.400
But Russia doesn't need to send the airplanes into Ukraine.
00:40:07.480
Russia can hit Ukraine, even western Ukraine, where this one hit, with missiles from Russia.
00:40:13.460
So as the Pentagon observes, this means that a no-fly zone over Ukraine not only is not prudent,
00:40:21.380
not only is there no appetite for it, really among the people broadly are supportive of it.
00:40:27.820
I think it's three-quarters of Americans surveyed said they want a no-fly zone.
00:40:30.740
But very few people know what a no-fly zone really means.
00:40:33.060
Very few people realize that a no-fly zone means the United States goes to war with Russia.
00:40:36.380
And so among the people in power, including leftists and including right-wing hardcore Republicans,
00:40:46.020
people are saying, no, we don't want a no-fly zone.
00:40:52.060
Russia will just start firing the cruise missiles all the way to western Ukraine from Russian airspace.
00:40:58.000
They would seem to have Ukraine outfoxed and the West outfoxed here.
00:41:05.200
There's nothing really that the West is going to do.
00:41:07.940
Zelensky in Ukraine has already given up on Ukraine joining NATO.
00:41:12.020
Presumably he's given up on Ukraine joining the European Union.
00:41:16.420
NATO has said, we're not really going to do anything here.
00:41:19.400
The United States won't even let the Poles send MiGs, send fighter jets, to Ukraine.
00:41:30.080
And now Russia is saying, even if you wanted that no-fly zone, it's just not going to happen.
00:41:33.580
This is why, from the beginning, I've said the oversimplistic view of this war,
00:41:40.340
that it's the question of strategy is one between strength and weakness.
00:41:44.280
Are we going to be strong in Ukraine or are we going to be weak in Ukraine?
00:41:47.340
It doesn't, I don't think that really holds up.
00:41:53.380
And the more strength we try to project, for instance, inviting Ukraine into NATO, for instance,
00:41:59.760
inviting Ukraine into the European Union, for instance, antagonizing Russia, it hasn't
00:42:09.080
And now what are we, now we haven't really hurt Vladimir Putin all that much.
00:42:14.800
He still is, has by far the upper hand in Ukraine and NATO looks impotent.
00:42:22.380
We have these, the way that we instituted these sanctions hasn't really even hurt Putin all
00:42:32.740
But it has, and now, by the way, we're about to do a deal with Iran because Joe Biden just
00:42:36.760
loves this idea of doing a deal with Iran and putting them on the path to a nuclear weapon.
00:42:40.720
So we're going to do the deal with Iran and, and that's going to allow Russia to skirt through
00:42:45.060
the sanctions because Russia is going to do business with Iran.
00:42:49.860
So Iran signs on the dotted line for any business Russia wants to do.
00:42:53.400
And now all of a sudden, Russia doesn't need to worry about the sanctions.
00:42:55.860
It's just really stupid policy and Putin knew it and Biden was outmatched.
00:43:06.100
Russia has been doing this for years, outfoxing not just America, but specifically the American
00:43:12.520
The way they've done it specifically is by funding environmental groups in Europe, in
00:43:22.800
Because it is in Russia's national interest to keep Russian oil and gas a, a preeminent product
00:43:31.480
They want to keep Europe and the United States hooked on Russian oil and gas.
00:43:36.100
But they're not going to be able to do that very effectively if, if Europe turns to other
00:43:41.080
sources of energy, nuclear in particular, and if America starts drilling baby drill and
00:43:49.300
So what Russia has done, and this is confirmed, not just by a lot of reporting, but by intelligence,
00:43:56.560
take it with a grain of salt, is they have funneled money into non-governmental environmentalist
00:44:02.420
organizations that have attacked those energy policies.
00:44:15.280
And now you're in a position where even Joe Biden says, well, yeah, you know, look, we are
00:44:21.260
Then we've got to go to Venezuela or we've got to go to Iran.
00:44:29.660
Is it any wonder that Joe Biden would get outflanked?
00:44:33.920
This is a guy who not only can't remember the name of his policies, not only can't remember
00:44:40.460
the name of his staff, not only can't remember the name of his God.
00:44:46.980
This is a guy who's been on the wrong side, not just of every domestic policy issue in
00:44:52.060
recent years, but of every, every single foreign policy issue.
00:45:02.460
He was the guy who was so wrong on Russia that, that President Zelensky in Ukraine is
00:45:10.480
But Zelensky said the fact that Biden took the sanctions off Russia's oil pipeline is the
00:45:17.300
Is it any wonder that Putin is outfoxing him now?
00:45:26.220
Donald Trump was able to govern for four years and Vladimir Putin did not encroach any
00:45:43.220
And then he invades Ukraine more clearly during Joe Biden.
00:45:48.900
So Donald Trump, the total idiot, incompetent, you know, this child in charge, we're headed
00:45:54.400
He did a much better job maintaining the world peace than Joe Biden does.
00:46:01.800
He's got this crazy idea at a rally that the left is pulling their hair out over.
00:46:05.900
We will pass critical reforms, making every executive branch employee fireable, fireable by the
00:46:17.240
The deep state must and will be brought to heel.
00:46:22.580
The deep state must and will be brought to heel.
00:46:30.700
What's the proposal is that people who work for the executive branch should be able to
00:46:38.560
I bet a lot of people listening to that rally would be surprised that that's not the case
00:46:46.900
You're telling me the president of the United States, the leader of the free world, can't
00:46:51.760
Even just regular old little bureaucrats who work for him, we're not talking about the
00:46:55.800
secretary of state even, we're just talking about like the guy in the mailroom, you can't
00:47:02.700
And it's hard to fire that guy because the progressives 100 years ago constructed a federal
00:47:07.820
bureaucracy that basically just runs the country on its own, largely insulated from the electoral
00:47:15.940
politics, from the will of the people, from the shifting winds in a democracy.
00:47:24.180
So Trump says, no, I think we need to bring this bureaucracy back in line.
00:47:32.560
That's how the country was run for most of our history, at least half of our history.
00:47:37.220
And it hasn't been run recently, which is why you see this phenomenon of the uniparty.
00:47:42.260
You know, whoever gets elected, for some reason, the national policy never changes.
00:47:53.000
Republican, Democrat, Trump was able to impede it a little bit more, but still it just goes
00:47:59.140
So Trump is coming in and he's running, not even on an issue like oil, not even on an issue
00:48:11.200
He's saying there's a structural problem that's wrong in our government and we need to fix
00:48:16.900
Now, speaking of the deep state, there's a report that's just come out.
00:48:20.540
It's from an anonymous former intelligence officer who now works for the Pentagon, who
00:48:24.860
is claiming that Vladimir Putin has a terminal illness.
00:48:33.260
The evidence for this is that his face is kind of puffy.
00:48:37.980
Apparently, if you put on weight as you age, that's a sign that you are going to die.
00:48:45.240
But this is the evidence that he's been enduring chemotherapy or that he's on steroids.
00:48:50.640
This is their other evidence from the anonymous former intel officer.
00:48:57.080
But in 2022, there are a few pictures of him looking happy.
00:49:02.540
And our people suggest his angry look is most likely as a result of him being in agony.
00:49:10.340
He's concerned about COVID and he keeps the staff at a distance.
00:49:13.600
The fact that the autocrat in Russia, as he is invading a sovereign nation, doesn't look
00:49:22.480
That's your evidence that he's dying of cancer?
00:49:29.420
But the evidence they're presenting is pretty weak.
00:49:31.680
To me, it sounds like some nonsense to make the West feel good, to make us feel like there's
00:49:38.620
going to be an end to this thing and we don't need to do anything about it.
00:49:47.220
And furthermore, when they say, well, he's acting irrationally because he's got this disease
00:50:03.760
And it's why we've done so poorly on this Russia issue, especially under Democrat administrations
00:50:11.620
Instead of just saying, oh, he's a crazy person.
00:50:14.380
How about you ask yourself, what does Putin want?
00:50:17.060
What does this look like from Putin's perspective?
00:50:21.720
Because I bet he sees the world a lot differently than we do.
00:50:26.840
How can we best act to protect Ukraine, to protect Eastern Europe, to protect the West
00:50:34.140
and the United States, and to avoid war and to rein in the ambitions of Putin?
00:50:38.980
Because just calling him a madman and a crazy person and just antagonizing him without any
00:50:45.060
effect, without any purpose, that doesn't seem to be working.
00:50:54.120
To make us feel like we don't need to do the hard work of actually engaging.
00:51:00.760
It's a silly report, allegedly coming out of the intelligence community, but we've seen
00:51:05.120
a lot of silly reports coming out of the IC for years and years now.
00:51:08.100
The whole Russia hoax came out of the IC six years ago.
00:51:17.000
It's actually a good way to end the show, especially on this day where we're launching
00:51:19.820
the Fauci Unmasked series, which you can go check out at the Daily Wire.
00:51:24.780
JPMorgan Chase, major, major bank, is ending its employer vaccine mandate.
00:51:30.540
They sent a memo to employees observed by Bloomberg, largest bank in the country,
00:51:34.400
said they will stop the practice of mandatory testing for workers without the vaccine starting
00:51:39.580
They will end the requirement for employees to report COVID-19 cases.
00:51:44.240
Masking will be optional for all staff, vaccinated or unvaccinated, starting immediately.
00:51:52.020
This is happening because the people have pushed back.
00:51:55.280
This is happening because the polls reflect that this is not, there is no change in the
00:51:59.860
The science is exactly the same as it has always been, but the politics has changed.
00:52:05.880
Companies such as the Daily Wire, not to toot our own horn, have sued the federal government,
00:52:16.240
Anthony Fauci has been put in the witness protection program and people want to forget
00:52:19.380
all the terrible things he did to our country over the last two years and actually even
00:52:24.920
They're going to retreat for a while, but I think it's a tactical retreat.
