00:00:37.680 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.

00:00:46.680 You go, girl.

00:00:48.120 This is one small step for a man and one giant leap backward for women. 1.00

00:00:54.080 The message here in Philadelphia, in Love Park, is that trans rights are human rights.

00:01:01.320 You have worth.

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.

00:01:22.360 Diversity is just so important in our culture.

00:01:26.260 It's important for our country, for the world.

00:01:29.600 Now, say what you will about Mr. Levine.

00:01:32.260 He certainly adds diversity to the list of Women of the Year.

00:01:37.420 But his message doesn't make a lot of sense.

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. 0.93

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.

00:02:02.140 Mr. Levine may or may not be a nice guy.

00:02:05.380 He might be a friendly neighbor.

00:02:07.260 He might be a good cook.

00:02:08.900 I don't know.

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.

00:02:22.960 We call abortion health care.

00:02:24.960 We call criminals victims.

00:02:27.660 Richard Levine is one very confused man.

00:02:31.360 But what's our excuse?

00:02:32.860 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:02:33.620 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:02:38.900 Welcome back to the show.

00:02:43.480 My favorite comment yesterday is from Nosferatu and friends, who says, Biden shuts down pipeline

00:02:49.920 construction.

00:02:51.260 Biden, two years later.

00:02:53.040 Don't blame me.

00:02:53.820 That pipeline was two years away from completion.

00:02:56.180 This is a great point.

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.

00:03:10.960 That was two years away from completion.

00:03:14.040 Two years is not a long time.

00:03:16.060 And two years is priced into oil and gas prices. 0.96

00:03:19.380 And if they had just let the damn thing be built, we'd almost be finished with it by 0.97

00:03:24.400 now. 0.99

00:03:24.740 Really, really frustrating.

00:03:25.880 And then we can just sit down and rest easy.

00:03:28.340 When you want to sit down and rest easy, I would strongly recommend you check out Allform.

00:03:32.480 Right now, head on over to allform.com slash Knowles.

00:03:46.720 sofas ever.

00:04:37.440 One giant leap back toward the most ancient, bizarre, pagan, occult ideologies, transgenderism. 1.00

00:04:49.220 That is what Mr. Levine's selection as one of the women of the year suggests.

00:04:54.240 Women are having a really hard go of it. 1.00

00:04:56.440 And the worst part is women think that all of the damage that has been done to them in 1.00

00:05:03.280 society is actually some form of progress.

00:05:06.000 I saw this just the other day.

00:05:07.000 The other day was Ruth Bader Ginsburg's birthday.

00:05:10.280 The late Supreme Court Justice RBG.

00:05:13.900 There was a tweet that went viral about RBG's birthday that really epitomized, I think, feminist

00:05:21.920 delusion.

00:05:23.540 This person said, today would have been Ruth Bader Ginsburg's 89th birthday.

00:05:28.120 She spent her life empowering women.

00:05:31.160 And now we are a force to be reckoned with.

00:05:34.720 Now, you know, before that justice lady who was appointed in the 90s, before women, not 0.73

00:05:41.960 empowered.

00:05:42.740 Women could do nothing. 1.00

00:05:44.080 They were completely useless, totally oppressed. 0.97

00:05:46.460 And then after the early 1990s, after Ruth Bader Ginsburg, now they're so empowered that 0.97

00:05:54.120 men are taking all of their jobs.

00:05:56.900 And when I say women's jobs, I'm not saying the jobs in the office places that women have 1.00

00:06:01.900 come to take on over the years.

00:06:03.600 I mean, men have now taken the job of being women. 0.93

00:06:05.820 Even that is not available to women anymore because the men have taken it. 0.99

00:06:11.020 What did Ruth Bader Ginsburg do to help women? 1.00

00:06:15.560 Nothing.

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. 0.60

00:06:23.000 That was Sandra Day O'Connor appointed by Ronald Reagan. 1.00

00:06:26.460 What did Ruth Bader Ginsburg do? 1.00

00:06:28.400 She voted with the court's liberals on a bunch of cases and that's it. 1.00

00:06:32.260 And that's all she did.

00:06:33.960 The most interesting thing the woman did in her life was be friends with Antonin Scalia.

00:06:37.820 That was it.

00:06:39.140 She did not change the position of women. 1.00

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?

00:06:49.720 What did Ruth Bader Ginsburg do? 1.00

00:06:51.120 You know, I think women were a force to be reckoned with before the 90s. 0.93

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. 1.00

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. 1.00

00:07:34.280 Now, none of those things are exactly rights.

00:07:39.280 First of all, women always worked. 1.00

00:07:40.680 It's true that now women have more opportunities to go work in the widget factory like men do. 0.98

00:07:45.760 Women have the wonderful right to go do spreadsheets for some other guy and waste away their lives. 1.00

00:07:50.780 That's true.

00:07:51.260 They do have that right.

00:07:52.660 Girl power, way to go. 1.00

00:07:54.520 But what about these other rights?

00:07:56.980 The right to birth control. 0.97

00:07:58.920 Women now have the right for men to use them for sex and throw them away like they're worthless. 1.00

00:08:04.640 They have that right now. 1.00

00:08:05.820 Ha ha, that'll show you patriarchy. 0.97

00:08:07.780 Women have the right to divorce and have their husbands leave them without any consequences or accountability whatsoever. 0.95

00:08:13.900 Yeah, all right, girl power. 1.00

00:08:16.080 Women have the right to kill their children. 1.00

00:08:17.760 Yes, women, that'll empower you. 1.00

00:08:20.020 That'll make you feel good about yourself.

00:08:21.640 That will, of course, it's not a right at all.

00:08:23.840 There's no right to do that 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.

00:08:33.960 I'll be totally forthright about that.

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.

00:09:12.080 And now women aren't even allowed to be women. 1.00

00:09:14.820 Now men are allowed to be women, and the category of women is no longer said to exist.

00:09:19.440 Women lost their bathrooms. 1.00

00:09:21.560 Women lost their locker rooms. 1.00

00:09:23.500 Women lost their sports leagues. 0.94

00:09:26.660 Women have lost pretty much everything, all in the name of progress. 1.00

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.

00:09:47.860 It does not lead to human flourishing.

00:09:51.240 Obviously, it kills the baby, but it's really bad for women too. 1.00

00:09:54.660 Evan Rachel Wood showed me this.

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.

00:10:08.740 You might be shocked by that.

00:10:10.300 Turns out everyone's parents in the 1990s was right. 0.91

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 0.90

00:10:29.160 young actress to all sorts of terrible things.

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. 0.96

00:10:46.080 This, Evan Rachel Wood cites as one of the most traumatic events in her life.

00:10:54.000 But why is it traumatic?

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

00:11:02.480 up for.

00:11:03.840 Well, Evan Rachel Wood tries to square that circle. 0.88

00:11:06.300 She says, I obviously believe in a woman's right to choose, but that doesn't mean it wasn't 0.97

00:11:11.600 devastating.

00:11:12.360 And after she got the abortion, she was so depressed, she became suicidal and she actually

00:11:18.620 tried to kill herself.

00:11:20.920 I have no doubt that that's true.

00:11:23.720 I know women, I know a number of women who have had abortions and it has really, really 0.59

00:11:29.100 messed them up.

00:11:31.920 Why?

00:11:33.120 Why?

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.

00:11:40.640 Why were you devastated?

00:11:44.540 Because you killed your child.

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

00:11:56.920 you that you've done something really awful.

00:11:58.840 Now, there is redemption.

00:12:00.880 There is a way out of this, okay?

00:12:02.840 There is the possibility of salvation.

00:12:05.420 But you've got to acknowledge that what you did was wrong and she seems unwilling to do

00:12:10.800 that.

00:12:11.520 She says, I obviously believe in a woman's right to choose. 1.00

00:12:13.760 Why do you believe in that?

00:12:15.360 It made you suicidal.

00:12:16.940 Because of this so-called right, you tried to kill yourself because you exercised that

00:12:20.480 right.

00:12:20.980 Maybe it's not a right.

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

00:12:36.900 difference between men and women.

00:12:39.340 We've got to protect our communities, including the most local community, the household, which

00:12:44.280 is why you've got to check out Ring.

00:13:56.740 Do not wait.

00:13:57.620 Ring.com slash Knowles.

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

00:14:23.520 to commit these crimes.

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

00:14:33.080 things will improve.

00:14:34.140 The crime rate will go down.

00:14:35.720 We'll all live in harmony.

00:14:37.160 We'll sing Kumbaya and play in drum circles together.

00:14:39.740 So has that happened?

00:14:41.660 No.

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.

00:15:05.380 Hayes, this 62-year-old woman, is a nurse. 1.00

00:15:08.700 She's worked at a nurse for a long time.

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.

00:15:21.480 Well, how could we have predicted this?

00:15:23.240 Look, Michael, crime happens, okay?

00:15:25.520 You're not going to, you sound just as utopian as the left.

00:15:28.440 There's no way to prevent all crime.

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

00:15:44.920 trading, okay?

00:15:45.800 We're not talking about white-collar crimes here.

00:15:47.420 We're talking about violent crimes.

00:15:49.380 He was convicted of burglary, theft, selling stolen property, drug possession, auto theft,

00:15:54.740 multiple counts of domestic violence.

00:15:56.620 Well, Michael, maybe that was all in his past.

00:16:00.360 Don't you think people deserve a second chance?

00:16:03.700 I believe in second chances.

00:16:05.480 I don't believe in 20 second chances, but maybe it was a long time ago.

00:16:10.540 Maybe he paid his debt to society.

00:16:12.140 Oh, no, it was just last year.

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

00:16:25.380 to attend his court hearings.

00:16:28.540 This guy should not be allowed in society.

00:16:33.500 Forget after the 22nd offense or the 21st.

00:16:37.060 After the third offense, what do they say in baseball?

00:16:40.600 One, two, 20, two strikes, you're out.

00:16:44.000 No, three strikes, you're out. 0.85

00:16:46.000 If this guy is going to keep committing all of these offenses, at the very least, he has

00:16:50.660 to be locked away forever from society.

00:16:52.820 At the very least.

00:16:54.640 That's the most moderate punishment I could imagine.

00:16:58.280 It's not good for him.

00:17:00.000 He's out there doing horrible things to other people and to himself.

00:17:03.720 He's not living a flourishing life.

00:17:06.180 He's harming himself, his soul, probably his body.

00:17:09.620 And for what?

00:17:10.280 He's going to end up back in jail.

00:17:11.380 They're probably going to let him out.

00:17:12.100 And he's going to go throw another 60-year-old woman down the stairs. 1.00

00:17:15.580 Criminal justice.

00:17:16.140 There it is.

00:17:16.640 There's our over-incarceration problem.

00:17:19.780 There are these poor beleaguered criminals.

00:17:21.680 Our problem, we're just too tough on these guys.

00:17:24.680 He never had a chance.

00:17:25.640 No, the 62-year-old woman never had a chance because you let these animals run around society 0.99

00:17:29.580 after 22 prior convictions.

00:17:32.800 It's not just one or two incidences.

00:17:35.080 We've got a guy in Yonkers.

00:17:37.200 Guy in Yonkers, New York.

00:17:38.520 That's a town just north of New York City.

00:17:40.600 Guy in Yonkers.

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 1.00

00:18:04.260 a roundhouse right hand.

00:18:05.540 The force of the blow knocks the woman to the ground. 1.00

00:18:08.200 As she lies there, her attacker bends down and pummels her repeatedly with both hands 0.74

00:18:12.140 for the next minute.

00:18:13.340 More than 125 blows altogether.

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

00:18:27.800 police commissioner.

00:18:29.460 To beat a helpless woman is despicable. 0.95

00:18:31.260 Targeting her because of his race makes it more so.

00:18:32.880 Absolutely right.

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.

00:19:02.220 And then he just keeps committing crimes.

00:19:06.580 Why was this animal let out of prison?

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.

00:19:59.440 What does that even mean?

00:20:00.460 I saw the headline.

00:20:01.100 I said, I don't even know what that means.

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

00:20:14.560 most of the United States.

00:20:16.880 That includes 28 states.

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 0.58

00:20:30.820 girl's locker room.

00:20:32.100 But because of these laws, San Francisco is boycotting the states.

00:20:37.420 Official travel to those states is forbidden.

00:20:39.140 Now, I bet official travel to African countries that throw, or Middle Eastern countries that 1.00

00:20:45.400 throw gay guys off of rooftops, I bet that that's not officially prohibited in any of

00:20:50.360 the state laws. 0.96

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.

00:21:03.380 They can't ink these deals.

00:21:05.140 Countries cannot behave like this.

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.

00:21:20.140 But I don't believe that.

00:21:21.620 San Francisco is a city in the United States.

00:21:23.720 And if you're a city, if you're a state in the United States, you can't just boycott

00:21:27.120 the rest of the United States.

00:21:28.300 Then you don't have a country.

00:21:30.220 Okay, we've got to work together.

00:21:31.880 We have to have some things in common.

00:21:34.160 We've got to work toward the common good.

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.

00:21:44.840 Real countries don't behave like this.

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.

00:21:52.380 So is there any hope?

00:21:54.120 Is there any hope that we can have some standards that we all agree on?

00:21:56.540 I believe it's possible.

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.

00:22:18.240 They've kept the masks on flights.

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

00:22:51.340 this power.

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

00:23:02.920 doctrine.

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

00:23:12.640 on public transit.

00:23:13.360 I don't know the legal arguments for or against his point on the non-delegation doctrine, but

00:23:20.720 his first point seems absolutely clear to me.

00:23:24.520 The CDC simply does not have these rights.

00:23:28.560 And yet, that's what they're citing.

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.

00:23:45.860 He had a little bit of a faux pas.

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.

00:23:59.580 Look at the stage.

00:24:01.520 But there's been a little change in the arrangement of who's on the stage because of the first

00:24:06.040 lady's husband contracting COVID.

00:24:08.800 But look at this room and what you see.

00:24:12.820 Pardon?

00:24:13.900 Anyway.

00:24:16.100 That's right.

00:24:17.700 She's fine.

00:24:21.200 It's me.

00:24:23.280 That's not together.

00:24:24.380 The second lady, the first gentleman.

00:24:28.920 How about that?

00:24:32.660 Anyway.

00:24:34.240 Ah, the husband of the first lady.

00:24:36.940 That's you. 0.97

00:24:38.020 That's you, you old pudding head. 0.96

00:24:40.140 Huh? 0.95

00:24:40.900 Oh, right.

00:24:41.960 Who's the, who am I thinking?

00:24:43.540 Oh, the vice president.

00:24:45.020 Her husband.

00:24:47.300 I don't know what's going on.

00:24:49.720 One, is it any surprise that Vladimir Putin and our enemies around the world are attacking

00:24:53.480 that this guy doesn't know what end is up.

00:24:55.200 He doesn't even know who he is.

00:24:57.180 But two, they're going to keep using COVID.

00:24:59.940 They're going to keep doing it.

00:25:01.200 They're telling us COVID's over.

00:25:02.860 Don't worry.

00:25:03.340 We're not going to wear the mask.

00:25:04.120 We're not going to do this.

00:25:04.760 And he says, oh, we're a little social distanced here because someone who's related to someone

00:25:09.500 in the administration has COVID.

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.

00:25:20.380 Do not let them.

00:25:21.120 This is a once in a generation chance to take away the power seized by parts of the government.

00:25:27.860 Take it back for the people.

00:25:29.000 Restore our American way of life. 0.83

00:26:53.940 It is out now, specifically today, to celebrate the two-year, celebrate, to commemorate,

00:27:01.180 to bemoan the two-year anniversary of two weeks to slow the spread.

00:27:07.540 This would be a documentary series that we've worked on on Dr. Fauci.

00:27:11.960 It's called Fauci Unmasked.

00:27:13.540 It is available right now at the Daily Wire.

00:27:15.740 Your humble host leads you through the untold story of Dr. Fauci going all the way back to the 1980s,

00:27:22.080 trying to answer this question,

00:27:23.940 How Did This Guy Attain Power?

00:27:27.220 It's a three-part series.

00:27:28.200 We're going to drop episode one today.

00:27:29.780 We're going to drop episode two tomorrow.

00:27:31.180 We're going to drop episode three on Friday.

00:27:33.860 For a while, I actually thought,

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,

00:27:47.360 we're going to fire Fauci this year.

00:27:49.040 This is going to be a big campaign issue.

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.

00:27:57.980 Do not let this guy get away with it.

00:28:00.740 We are not doing it.

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.

00:28:19.280 They're waiting to do this after November.

00:28:22.340 Don't let them get away with it.

00:28:23.600 Check out the trailer.

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.

00:28:43.500 There's nothing political about that.

00:28:45.600 But who is Anthony Fauci?

00:28:47.500 People who have conspiracy theories.

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 Don't you think it's time that you step down and let someone else who has a more effective message?

00:29:10.860 Actually, no.

00:29:11.660 Go check out Fauci Unmasked.

00:29:22.240 It's available exclusively at The Daily Wire.

00:29:30.220 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.

00:29:40.240 So go get your copy today.

00:29:41.480 It is certain to sell out.

00:29:42.800 We will be right back with a lot more.

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.

00:30:03.260 And it is a story that I love.

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.

00:30:26.120 I love this.

00:30:27.640 I think this is so great.

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. 0.51

00:30:41.520 That is not what is going on here.

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. 0.97

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.

00:31:11.520 You can see all the photos.

00:31:12.820 They launched the campaign yesterday.

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.

00:31:46.240 I don't know.

00:31:46.660 We're going to dress people up like Flavor Flavor something that that's the real black experience. 1.00

00:31:51.540 And that's that's what black people have to dress like. 1.00

00:31:53.940 And the white people can dress like white people and the black people can dress like black people. 0.89

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.

00:32:33.980 They're capable of reason.

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.

00:32:42.240 Of course, that's true.

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. 1.00

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. 1.00

00:33:03.780 It's it's a very silly world that we're living in. 0.99

00:33:07.860 It's very offensive to black people. 0.98

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. 0.99

00:33:25.520 It's the same style I make for everyone else because it looks good.

00:33:28.940 I love this.

00:33:29.680 I totally love this.

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.

00:33:40.920 It would be the same sweaters.

00:33:42.420 They're saying, hey, guys, just dress nice.

00:33:45.600 Look good.

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.

00:33:58.320 Absolutely great stuff.

00:33:59.180 Well done, Ralph Lauren.

00:34:01.340 Totally, totally love it.

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.

00:34:46.120 People were furious.

00:34:47.840 And what happened?

00:34:48.720 You already know what happened.

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.

00:35:01.820 They'll say, oh, it was a hoax.

00:35:02.620 How dare you?

00:35:04.940 Are you telling me racism doesn't exist?

00:35:07.300 Pretty much, yeah.

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.

00:35:16.220 It doesn't exist.

00:35:17.220 The only legal racism is against whites and Asians in affirmative action and that sort of legal discrimination. 0.99

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. 0.98

00:35:32.040 And none of that is happening whatsoever. 0.61

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.

00:35:43.340 And guess what happened?

00:35:44.580 Guess what happened?

00:35:46.520 A student confessed to writing the message.

00:35:49.100 The student is remaining anonymous.

00:35:51.740 She is being protected because she's a minor.

00:35:55.660 But according to all of the reports, it's a black student.

00:36:00.640 We cover these shows.

00:36:02.280 We cover these incidents all the time.

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.

00:36:12.460 Why do these incidents happen?

00:36:14.320 I don't think it happens necessarily because these kids are malicious.

00:36:18.060 Maybe they are.

00:36:18.840 They might be malicious.

00:36:19.980 But more, I think they're deluded.

00:36:21.740 I think they're trying to resolve a sort of cognitive dissonance. 0.98

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. 0.98

00:36:36.840 And where, as LeBron James says, a black person can't walk outside in America without being hunted down. 0.99

00:36:40.900 So that's what they're told.

00:36:43.000 And that's what they're taught from their earliest stages.

00:36:47.140 That's what all students are taught.

00:36:49.280 And then the reality does not conform to that delusion.

00:36:53.580 And so what do they do?

00:36:56.720 Do they change their delusions and opinions?

00:37:00.360 No.

00:37:00.900 They try to change reality.

00:37:03.080 They go in and they say, oh, well, huh.

00:37:06.000 I'm not seeing.

00:37:07.000 People aren't taking racism seriously here because there isn't any of it.

00:37:10.640 So I know what I'll do.

00:37:11.800 I'll lie.

00:37:12.840 I'll write.

00:37:13.320 I'll create a hoax of a racist incident.

00:37:16.160 And, you know, it won't be honest in this case.

00:37:19.520 But that lie will get to a greater truth.

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.

00:37:57.140 The delusion says, I am a woman.

00:38:00.640 But the mirror says, I am a man.

00:38:03.380 The reality says, I am a man.

00:38:05.100 So what are you going to do?

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.

00:38:17.360 No, we're going to try to change reality.

00:38:19.420 That is the power of ideology.

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.

00:38:56.900 Then there's shelling of civilians.

00:38:58.260 Now we've got cruise missiles just flying in the Russians. 0.98

00:39:00.940 The Russians can be absolute animals in war. 0.76

00:39:05.620 You see this throughout Russian history, most recently probably in the Second World War. 0.96

00:39:11.520 You're starting to see that again in Ukraine.

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.

00:39:22.040 They were fired from Russian territory.

00:39:25.780 Why would Russia do this?

00:39:28.780 Just to inflict destruction?

00:39:30.300 Well, they could already do that.

00:39:31.720 They've already got an army inside of 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.

00:40:47.660 Not only is it imprudent, it's ineffective.

00:40:50.760 It won't do anything.

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. 1.00

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. 0.94

00:41:25.700 We won't even let Poland do that. 1.00

00:41:27.580 So we're not going to do very much.

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.

00:41:51.000 We are extremely weak in Ukraine right now.

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

00:42:04.140 actually made us any stronger.

00:42:05.400 It's only weakened our position in Ukraine.

00:42:09.080 And now what are we, now we haven't really hurt Vladimir Putin all that much.

00:42:13.080 Our gas prices are through the roof.

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

00:42:27.700 that much.

00:42:28.080 It's hurt Russians. 1.00

00:42:29.100 It's hurt Americans.

00:42:30.820 It's hurt Europeans. 1.00

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. 0.93

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 0.98

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. 0.81

00:42:53.400 And now all of a sudden, Russia doesn't need to worry about the sanctions. 0.99

00:42:55.860 It's just really stupid policy and Putin knew it and Biden was outmatched. 0.99

00:43:02.660 And that's just the way that it goes. 1.00

00:43:04.200 It's very sad, but it's true. 0.86

00:43:06.100 Russia has been doing this for years, outfoxing not just America, but specifically the American 0.95

00:43:11.940 left.

00:43:12.520 The way they've done it specifically is by funding environmental groups in Europe, in

00:43:18.960 the United States.

00:43:20.120 Why would Russia fund environmental groups?

00:43:22.800 Because it is in Russia's national interest to keep Russian oil and gas a, a preeminent product

00:43:30.940 in the world.

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

00:43:46.640 fracking and pumping out oil.

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.

00:44:06.700 And so Europe gives up its own energy.

00:44:09.500 America stops drilling.

00:44:10.960 America just focuses on the sun monster.

00:44:13.760 And Russia wins. 0.96

00:44:15.280 And now you're in a position where even Joe Biden says, well, yeah, you know, look, we are

00:44:18.980 getting a lot of our oil from Russia.

00:44:20.240 We can try to turn it off now.

00:44:21.260 Then we've got to go to Venezuela or we've got to go to Iran.

00:44:24.180 But it's going to leave us weaker.

00:44:26.960 And the American left cheers this on.

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.

00:44:43.520 You know, you know the thing.

00:44:44.860 He can't remember who he is himself.

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.

00:44:56.200 He's the guy who applauded.

00:44:57.360 He said, a rising China is good for America. 0.93

00:45:00.320 It's good for everyone.

00:45:01.200 Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah.

00:45:02.460 He was the guy who was so wrong on Russia that, that President Zelensky in Ukraine is

00:45:06.560 blaming Biden for the invasion.

00:45:08.880 And this is being covered up by the media.

00:45:10.480 But Zelensky said the fact that Biden took the sanctions off Russia's oil pipeline is the

00:45:15.480 reason that Russia invaded.

00:45:17.300 Is it any wonder that Putin is outfoxing him now?

00:45:21.920 Who could have done better?

00:45:23.540 I don't know.

00:45:24.200 The last guy in office was pretty good.

00:45:26.220 Donald Trump was able to govern for four years and Vladimir Putin did not encroach any

00:45:32.080 further into other countries.

00:45:34.220 Putin invaded Georgia under Bush.

00:45:35.740 He invaded Ukraine under Obama.

00:45:38.520 He stopped during Trump.

00:45:42.300 He just kind of held off.

00:45:43.220 And then he invades Ukraine more clearly during Joe Biden. 1.00

00:45:48.900 So Donald Trump, the total idiot, incompetent, you know, this child in charge, we're headed 1.00

00:45:53.500 for World War Three. 1.00

00:45:54.400 He did a much better job maintaining the world peace than Joe Biden does.

00:45:57.460 And now Donald Trump has another crazy idea.

00:46:00.620 He's hitting the campaign trail again.

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

00:46:15.160 president of the United States.

00:46:17.240 The deep state must and will be brought to heel.

00:46:20.940 It's already happening.

00:46:22.580 The deep state must and will be brought to heel.

00:46:27.460 Does anyone disagree with that?

00:46:30.700 What's the proposal is that people who work for the executive branch should be able to

00:46:35.820 be fired by the head of the executive branch?

00:46:38.560 I bet a lot of people listening to that rally would be surprised that that's not the case

00:46:45.060 in America.

00:46:46.280 What do you mean?

00:46:46.900 You're telling me the president of the United States, the leader of the free world, can't

00:46:50.320 fire people who work for him?

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

00:46:59.160 fire that guy?

00:47:01.300 No.

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. 1.00

00:47:29.980 The left says this, what a crazy maniac. 0.94

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.

00:47:46.260 We just take out more and more debt.

00:47:47.640 We invade more and more countries. 0.91

00:47:49.180 We outsource more and more jobs.

00:47:51.040 We lose more and more of our rights.

00:47:52.320 Why is that?

00:47:53.000 Republican, Democrat, Trump was able to impede it a little bit more, but still it just goes

00:47:57.540 on and on and on.

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

00:48:05.620 like immigration, as he did the first time.

00:48:07.640 He's running on an issue about the government.

00:48:11.200 He's saying there's a structural problem that's wrong in our government and we need to fix

00:48:15.680 that.

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.

00:48:30.520 He's suffering from terminal bowel cancer.

00:48:33.260 The evidence for this is that his face is kind of puffy.

00:48:35.860 His face is puffier than it was 20 years ago.

00:48:37.980 Apparently, if you put on weight as you age, that's a sign that you are going to die. 0.72

00:48:42.720 I guess you are going to die. 0.97

00:48:43.780 We're all going to die someday.

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.

00:48:54.460 In the past, we've seen him smile.

00:48:57.080 But in 2022, there are a few pictures of him looking happy.

00:49:00.780 His look suggests he is in pain.

00:49:02.540 And our people suggest his angry look is most likely as a result of him being in agony.

00:49:07.920 Our people are confident he is ill.

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

00:49:21.180 so happy.

00:49:22.480 That's your evidence that he's dying of cancer?

00:49:27.140 Maybe Putin's dying of cancer.

00:49:28.460 Maybe he's not.

00:49:28.980 I don't know.

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.

00:49:41.520 But that's not the case.

00:49:42.860 It sounds like happy thinking.

00:49:43.960 It sounds like wish casting to me.

00:49:47.220 And furthermore, when they say, well, he's acting irrationally because he's got this disease

00:49:54.280 or maybe he's got some psychological disease.

00:49:56.760 Who knows?

00:49:57.280 But he's acting irrationally.

00:49:59.020 That's a way to avoid strategic thinking.

00:50:03.260 Okay?

00:50:03.760 And it's why we've done so poorly on this Russia issue, especially under Democrat administrations

00:50:09.000 for 20, 30 years now. 0.99

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? 0.52

00:50:17.060 What does this look like from Putin's perspective?

00:50:19.340 What are Putin's priors?

00:50:21.280 What is he?

00:50:21.720 Because I bet he sees the world a lot differently than we do.

00:50:24.100 What motivates him?

00:50:26.020 What makes him tick?

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? 0.87

00:50:38.980 Because just calling him a madman and a crazy person and just antagonizing him without any 0.89

00:50:45.060 effect, without any purpose, that doesn't seem to be working. 0.81

00:50:48.160 That seems bad for Ukraine.

00:50:49.600 Seems bad for America.

00:50:50.860 Seems bad for Europe.

00:50:52.220 For what?

00:50:52.700 For what?

00:50:54.120 To make us feel like we don't need to do the hard work of actually engaging.

00:50:57.480 What is motivating these people?

00:51:00.760 It's a silly report, allegedly coming out of the intelligence community, but we've seen 0.89

00:51:05.120 a lot of silly reports coming out of the IC for years and years now. 0.72

00:51:08.100 The whole Russia hoax came out of the IC six years ago.

00:51:13.360 There is some good news, though.

00:51:15.060 There is some good news coming out.

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

00:51:38.600 on April 4th.

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.

00:51:50.640 Why is this happening?

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

00:51:59.440 science.

00:51:59.860 The science is exactly the same as it has always been, but the politics has changed.

00:52:04.160 The people have pushed back.

00:52:05.880 Companies such as the Daily Wire, not to toot our own horn, have sued the federal government,

00:52:10.200 have sued Biden and won.

00:52:12.400 The Democrats are looking ahead to November.

00:52:14.620 They realize this is not very popular.

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

00:52:22.860 further back than that.

00:52:24.920 They're going to retreat for a while, but I think it's a tactical retreat.

00:52:29.620 I think it's a strategic retreat because in the long run, I don't think that the government

00:52:33.960 has given up any of this power.

00:52:35.340 I don't think the quasi-governmental elites in the so-called private sector have given up

00:52:41.140 this power, I think they could bring it back unless we just say no, unless we say no to

00:52:47.120 this clown world, we call a spade a spade, we don't pretend that men are women, we don't

00:52:51.380 pretend that abortion is healthcare, we don't pretend that criminals are victims, we don't 0.84

00:52:56.000 pretend that we're living in the upside down.

00:52:58.640 We still have a country, we can still govern ourselves, we the people still have rights

00:53:02.500 if we don't let them slip through our fingers.

00:53:05.140 I'm Michael Knowles, this is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:53:06.960 See you tomorrow.

00:53:07.320 The Michael Knowles Show.

00:53:35.060 Today on The Ben Shapiro Show, stagflation may be coming according to former Clinton Treasury

00:54:04.620 Secretary Larry Summers, but Biden's going to keep spending all the money, plus the Russian

00:54:09.120 assault on Ukraine continues and we may be watching in real time the reshaping of world

00:54:13.640 financial markets.
