00:00:00.000 Joe Biden's radical Supreme Court nominee, Ketanji Jackson, took to Capitol Hill yesterday
00:00:05.320 for the first day of her confirmation hearings. And Republicans kicked off the hearings by
00:00:10.320 promising to take the high road. And then most of the members of this committee remember the
00:00:15.560 confirmation hearing of Brett Kavanaugh, one of the lowest moments in the history of this committee
00:00:21.620 where Democrats on this committee sat on allegations, didn't refer them to the FBI,
00:00:28.640 didn't ask for investigations, hid them, and then leaked them against the wishes of the
00:00:34.780 complainant. And we began a circus that featured Spartacus moments, featured such nuts as Michael
00:00:47.120 Avenatti, whom CNN breathlessly for some months described as a possible Democratic presidential
00:00:54.060 candidate. That's before presumably he became a felon in recent months.
00:00:59.940 Judge Jackson, I can assure you that your hearing will feature none of that disgraceful behavior.
00:01:07.680 Senator Cruz can assure her of that, but I cannot because as I have said many times already,
00:01:15.200 Judge Ketanji Jackson groped me at a party back in the 80s. PJ was there and Squee was there.
00:01:21.960 And Judge Ketanji Jackson was there. And her manhandling of me has caused tremendous trauma
00:01:28.420 in my life. I demand to see her seventh grade yearbook. And I have exactly as much evidence
00:01:34.900 against her as Christine Ford and Julie Swetnick and Michael Avenatti had against Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
00:01:42.560 But Senate Republicans have actually unearthed some dirt on Ketanji Jackson that is significantly
00:01:48.540 more damning. Senate Republicans have evidence that Judge Jackson has a soft spot for some of the
00:01:55.360 worst child abusing criminals in the country and that she thinks the Constitution is rotten to the
00:02:02.100 core, which is a far bigger problem than any grab happy indiscretions Ketanji Jackson may or may not
00:02:08.800 have perpetrated against me as a teenager. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show.
00:02:21.560 Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment yesterday is from Colleen Santos, who says,
00:02:25.700 get you someone who looks at you the way Michael looks when saying Fauci might retire. I know that's
00:02:31.780 true. You want to talk about love in your eyes, doe eyes. That's that's the sort of spell that comes over
00:02:37.060 me when Fauci says he might retire. But there's that big caveat because he says he might retire
00:02:41.820 unless COVID keeps going on. And then he says COVID is going to keep going on, which is why you really
00:02:45.240 ought to check out my series, Fauci Unmasked, doing really, really well on Daily Wire. Head on over to
00:02:50.800 dailywire.com to do that. Ketanji Jackson probably will not be spiked as a nominee because of what she 1.00
00:02:57.380 did to me at that party in Georgetown in the 80s. That's fine. Look, OK, it's that life isn't fair.
00:03:02.760 All right. I'm not surprised that she won't be held to account for that horrible way she made me
00:03:07.320 feel back at that party with all that evidence that I have of it. But the Senate Republicans are
00:03:11.580 focusing on some other indiscretions from Justice Ketanji or Judge Ketanji Jackson, probably future
00:03:19.040 Justice Ketanji Jackson. Republican Senator Josh Hawley has discovered while going through Judge
00:03:26.480 Jackson's judicial history that she's soft on child pornography. Here are, I hope, in the next
00:03:34.400 couple of days, some of the cases from your time on the court, the district court, the federal district
00:03:40.560 court that I hope that we can talk about. Let me just run through a few of them so you know exactly
00:03:45.840 which ones I mean. United States versus Hawkins. This was a child pornography case where the defendant
00:03:51.480 distributed multiple images of child porn, possessed dozens more, including videos. The federal
00:03:57.240 sentencing guidelines recommended a sentence of 97 to 121 months in prison. Prosecutors recommended
00:04:04.360 24 months in prison. Judge Jackson gave the defendant three months in prison. As near as we can tell,
00:04:11.360 all of Judge Jackson's case is dealing with child pornography from her time on the district court in
00:04:16.320 which she had some discretion to hand down a sentence. There's some other cases in which the law,
00:04:19.980 she didn't have any discretion. The law bound the sentence that she had to give. And what concerns me,
00:04:25.820 and I've been very candid about this, is that in every case, in each of these seven, Judge Jackson
00:04:31.460 handed down a lenient sentence that was below what the federal guidelines recommended and below what
00:04:36.960 prosecutors requested. And so I think there's a lot to talk about there, and I look forward to talking about it.
00:04:42.220 This is a pretty good political attack. When I say political attack, I don't mean it's an unfair
00:04:49.820 political attack. You know, the Republicans attack the Democrats, the Democrats attack the Republicans.
00:04:53.940 When the Democrats attack Judge Kavanaugh, it was over some completely made up nonsense from two
00:04:58.820 lunatic women and their dirtbag lawyer, Michael Avenatti. When the Republicans are attacking Judge 1.00
00:05:03.440 Jackson here, it's over something real, which is that she went soft on criminals,
00:05:07.740 not just any criminals, sex criminals, not just any sex criminals, child sex criminals,
00:05:14.060 criminals who committed sex offenses against children. Now, it wasn't child rapists. It was
00:05:19.320 people who possessed and in some cases transmitted child pornography. And some people on the right,
00:05:25.440 shockingly, have opened up this whole debate over whether or not our sentencing on child pornography
00:05:31.440 is too harsh. That is besides the point, guys. The question is over Judge Jackson's record. When
00:05:39.620 there were sentencing guidelines on a particularly heinous crime, she sided toward the absolute lowest
00:05:47.700 end of the spectrum that she possibly could, especially at this moment where parents' issues
00:05:54.500 or kids' issues are the top of the heap. Just look at what got Glenn Youngkin elected in Virginia.
00:05:59.680 What was it? It wasn't cutting taxes. It wasn't immigration. It was CRT and gender theory in 0.88
00:06:06.060 schools. Just look at what's been playing in Florida, the parental rights in education bill.
00:06:10.380 Just look at these bills around the country. This is a pretty good line of attack against Judge
00:06:16.960 Jackson. But people have debates. You'll sometimes see, especially more on the libertarian side of the
00:06:23.700 right, you'll see people say, oh, sentencing for porn, even for child porn is too high. If you're
00:06:30.360 not producing the stuff, if you're not kidnapping the child, if you're not actually performing the
00:06:35.180 abuse yourself, maybe it should be lower. Okay, fine. I think that's a crazy argument, but that's the
00:06:40.940 argument to be had. There's something even, frankly, more concerning about Judge Jackson's nomination
00:06:46.140 than her weakness on crime, which is a big problem in America. Don't forget, we don't have an
00:06:52.780 over-incarceration problem in America. We have an under-incarceration problem. We're too soft
00:06:57.400 on crime. But the more concerning thing is that Judge Jackson apparently supports critical race theory.
00:07:07.000 So this same issue, the same issue of indoctrination, the same issue we saw playing out in Virginia,
00:07:12.240 we're seeing this play out in Jackson's nomination. There is an article in the Daily
00:07:17.340 Wire, you can go read it, Biden's Supreme Court pick championed advocates of critical race theory
00:07:20.900 in lectures and speeches. It's by Tim Pierce. Apparently in a lecture that Judge Jackson gave
00:07:28.140 at the University of Michigan Law School, not 20 years ago, not 10 years ago, two years ago in January
00:07:33.760 of 2020, the speech was called Black Women Leaders in the Civil Rights Movement Era and Beyond.
00:07:38.780 Judge Jackson said she took inspiration from the works of Derrick Bell. Derrick Bell is one of the
00:07:45.860 creators of critical race theory. It's Derrick Bell, Kimberly Crenshaw, a few other people
00:07:51.980 developed critical race theory. Critical race theory is an academic lens that views America as
00:07:59.340 fundamentally wrong, broken, bigoted, evil, racist. It's all a rigged system to benefit white supremacy
00:08:07.900 and to attack black people. That's what CRT says right down to our economics. Our very economic system
00:08:14.020 is rooted in white supremacy. So says critical race theory. Well, Judge Jackson says she takes a lot of 0.84
00:08:19.060 inspiration from the people who invented critical race theory. It's not just that. She said that she
00:08:24.400 supports the New York Times' 1619 Project. She referred to Nicole Hannah-Jones, the fabulist behind the
00:08:32.260 1619 Project as a, quote, acclaimed investigative journalist and lauded this project, the central
00:08:38.540 thesis of which was a complete lie. The central thesis of the 1619 Project was that the American
00:08:44.560 Revolution was fought to protect slavery. It's complete nonsense. Even left-wing academic historians
00:08:49.900 debunked it. Even the New York Times eventually had to acknowledge that it was a lie. Of course,
00:08:55.460 they run the story on page A1. They run the retraction on page Z7000. And they still spent
00:09:00.940 millions of dollars to get this put into school curricula all around the country. But Jackson
00:09:05.580 supports this kind of thing. This is more damning than going light on child porn. It is because the
00:09:13.460 libs go light on virtually every crime. Other than the guy in the horn hat walking into the Capitol on
00:09:19.100 January 6th. That's the worst crime in the history of the world. That person needs to be sent to the
00:09:23.460 Hague and go meet the guillotine. But basically every other crime, violent crimes, robbery, murder,
00:09:29.880 rape, hardcore child pornography, all other crimes you got to go really light on because we've got a
00:09:35.700 quote unquote over-incarceration problem. So that, it's upsetting, it's disconcerting for people who
00:09:42.680 respect the rule of law. But that's to be expected from a liberal judge. This is something we haven't
00:09:47.940 seen before. We have not seen even Democrat Supreme Court nominees who openly support critical race
00:09:55.000 theory, who openly support the lies of the 1619 Project, who are saying that America is evil, that the
00:10:02.060 Constitution is rotten. This is the woman that Joe Biden has selected to be the great defender and 1.00
00:10:08.260 interpreter of the Constitution on the bench. This is the most radical Supreme Court nominee perhaps we have
00:10:13.980 ever seen in American history. And she looks good and she talks good and she's got all the good
00:10:18.560 credentials. So people are pretending that this is totally normal. It's not. We have never seen
00:10:23.540 radicalism like this before. It's enough to keep you tense and keep you up at night, which is why you

00:11:32.060 It seems that everybody in Biden world is either radical or stupid. Say what you will about Ketanji
00:11:39.720 Jackson. The woman isn't stupid. She's got impeccable credentials. She presents herself 1.00
00:11:44.320 very well. She's been in a very difficult field and apparently has performed quite well in it.
00:11:52.940 She's a radical. Stupid people don't know who Derrick Bell is, right? Smart people don't know
00:11:58.740 who Derrick Bell is because they spend their time on more fruitful pursuits. But stupid leftists,
00:12:02.800 they don't know who invented critical race theory. They agree with all of the precepts of critical
00:12:06.760 race theory because it's filtered down to them. But they don't read this stuff. This woman does. 0.92
00:12:11.920 She is the radical side of Biden and the Democrats and the liberals. Then there's the other side.
00:12:18.600 And this brings us to our vice president, Kamala Harris, who has some really profound thoughts for
00:12:26.900 your Tuesday morning. The governor and I, and we were all doing a tour of the library here and
00:12:35.120 talking about the significance of the passage of time, right? The significance of the passage of
00:12:41.060 time. So when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time in terms of
00:12:46.840 what we need to do to lay these wires, what we need to do to create these jobs. And there is such
00:12:53.360 great significance to the passage of time when we think about a day in the life of our children.
00:12:59.960 Where is my bong? Where did the producers put my, I keep a bong under my desk just so that when Kamala 0.96
00:13:08.960 Harris starts speaking, I can understand what she has to say. And I look under my desk and somebody
00:13:14.320 took my bong. Now, I mean, this is a young company. There are a lot of people in their twenties here.
00:13:19.720 I'm not surprised it went missing, but now I have no idea what Kamala Harris was saying.
00:13:23.100 Right. The time, you know, man, you know, man, you ever think about time and the passage of time,
00:13:30.900 man, and the significance of the passage of time. And then what she did, it's not even that she was
00:13:35.920 talking like a stoner so much as she was talking like a student in class who's just stalling for
00:13:41.580 time because she doesn't know the answer to the question. So I'll say, you know, hey, Kamala,
00:13:47.200 what happens in chapter four of war and peace? She didn't do the reading, you know, and she'll say,
00:13:53.480 well, you know, it really got me thinking about time and the passage and the significance. And
00:13:58.820 you know, do you ever think about the significance of the past? Like she's writing an essay and she's
00:14:03.820 got a 1000 word count minimum that she's got to hit and she's only on word 700. So she just keeps 0.52
00:14:09.720 repeating the same thing. That's what Kamala Harris is doing. You got people in the administration 1.00
00:14:14.960 who are radical. You've got people in the administration who are stupid. And generally,
00:14:20.060 if you've got those two choices, you probably favor the stupid side of things because the
00:14:24.220 radicals are effective. This is what worries me about Judge Jackson's nomination. It's that she 0.99
00:14:31.420 does know what she's doing. She knows exactly what she's doing. And she's probably going to be pretty
00:14:35.820 good at remaking our law and pushing a radical leftist agenda from the bench. You see someone on the
00:14:42.360 stupid side of things, not naming names. Well, I will name names. Joe Biden. Joe Biden would be the
00:14:47.300 example of this par excellence. No one thinks Joe Biden is a genius. He's always been a doddering
00:14:53.800 simpleton. He's got air blowing in between his ears. And I think a lot of people actually voted for him
00:14:59.280 because that made them feel more comfortable. That made them fear at peace. Oh, he's not a radical.
00:15:03.240 He's just kind of a dumb guy who goes along with things. But the end result of the stupid people in
00:15:10.120 politics on the left is the radicalism. Because they don't know anything. So what does Joe Biden
00:15:16.980 do? He wakes up every day. He doesn't read Derrick Bell. He doesn't read Kimberly Crenshaw. He doesn't
00:15:20.700 know who these people are. But he licks his finger. He puts it up in the wind. He figures out which way
00:15:24.940 the wind is blowing. And then he just goes along with that. So that's how you get Joe Biden, who does
00:15:30.040 not give much thought to serious matters of politics or culture or faith or anything. And he just goes
00:15:36.280 along with whatever's popular. And because the intellectuals on the left have totally set the
00:15:40.640 agenda, because the critical race theorists on the left have totally set the agenda, he just goes
00:15:45.080 along with that. And now you've got the most radical president that we've ever had. Not because
00:15:49.300 of some intrinsic radicalism of Joe Biden, but just because he has no integrity and he doesn't have
00:15:54.420 very much intelligence and he has barely any education. And so he just goes along with what
00:15:58.480 smarter, more effective people tell him to do. And he's the president. So it works. Same thing goes
00:16:04.060 with Kamala Harris. She doesn't know anything about anything, but she also doesn't have any
00:16:08.180 integrity or principles. So she just goes along with it. This is how the passage of time is
00:16:15.200 significant because as time goes on and the left becomes more radical, then the people who just blow
00:16:20.180 in the wind become more radical as well. Now, speaking of time, some people are about to get a lot
00:16:26.820 of time behind bars, not child pornographers who go up before Judge Jackson, but the much worse
00:16:33.940 miscreants, the much more dangerous insurrectionist terrorists in America, the people who showed up to
00:16:38.360 the Capitol on January 6th. There's a guy just to show you the kind of person who is now having the
00:16:45.680 book thrown at him. There's a guy named Brady Knowlton, no relation. Brady Knowlton entered the Capitol
00:16:52.900 at 2.35 p.m. on January 6th. He did not smash a window to get into the Capitol. He did not use
00:17:00.160 a crowbar. He just walked right into the rotunda. He walked right into the rotunda as cops waved him
00:17:06.600 in. He walked by cops as he was going in and the cops kind of laughed. They said, oh, hey, don't break
00:17:11.840 anything, you know, and whatever. Have a good time. He's a 40-year-old law student. He walks into the
00:17:18.160 Capitol through the Upper West Terrace doors, walked by several cops that we've got. We've got
00:17:23.320 this on video footage. The cop said, you can go in just so long as you don't break anything. He didn't
00:17:30.180 break anything, and he left after 18 minutes. He was in there for 18 minutes. He now faces 20 years
00:17:37.420 in prison. 20 years in prison for walking into the Capitol after the cops told him it was fine
00:17:43.540 and leaving in less than 20 minutes. His law degree has been withheld from him. Airbnb has
00:17:50.040 banned him and his wife from using that, from using those accommodations. U.S. Customs and Border
00:17:55.580 Protection stripped his global entry access, so he's lost one of his privileges when he travels. He's
00:18:02.480 not on a no-fly list yet. The FBI arrested him. The DOJ charged him with obstruction of an official
00:18:08.520 proceeding, entering or remaining on restricted building or grounds, and disorderly conduct in
00:18:14.520 the Capitol building. They're accusing him of breach and unlawful entry, even though the cops waved him
00:18:21.860 in, of conspiracy planning or preparation, of maps and diagrams, materials, devices, or tools used to
00:18:29.400 breach the Capitol. And this is just one of at least 800 people charged in the Capitol insurrection coup d'etat.
00:18:37.460 Now, thankfully, Mr. Knowlton has Alan Dershowitz as his lawyer. Alan Dershowitz, one of the best
00:18:43.840 lawyers in America, Harvard law professor for a very long time, lawyer to O.J. Simpson, got O.J. Simpson
00:18:49.240 off, okay? O.J. Simpson did a lot more than Mr. Knowlton did. He was lawyer for Donald Trump,
00:18:55.860 defending the Constitution during Trump's impeachment. There are a lot of these cases. There are a lot of
00:19:01.460 these cases right now. Child pornographers get off the hook, but Midwestern dads walking into the
00:19:07.860 Capitol, as the cops wave them in, they get the book thrown at them. They get 20 years in prison.
00:19:12.920 Why? Because our ruling class is punishing political dissidents. We see this overseas all the time. 0.96
00:19:20.120 We say, China punishes political dissidents and puts them in jail on trumped up charges.
00:19:26.580 Russia punishes political dissidents and puts them in jail on trumped up charges.
00:19:32.100 Regimes in the Middle East, in Africa, yes, that's all true. They do. So do we. So do we.
00:19:39.020 We are, and I don't say, we are not doing it. The conservatives are not the ones doing it.
00:19:44.080 It's the liberals who run the government. They run the entire power structure of the United States.
00:19:49.360 Even when Republicans win one house of Congress, even when Republicans sort of kind of have a
00:19:55.240 majority on the Supreme Court, even if Republicans win the White House, the Democrats still run the
00:20:00.080 bureaucracy, the administrative government. They run the media. They run big tech. They run all of
00:20:04.160 the real power centers and they ruthlessly punish political dissidents. And they throw ordinary guys
00:20:10.960 who get waved in by cops, who walk into the people's house that his tax dollars pay for and do
00:20:16.000 nothing and then leave within 20 minutes. They throw them in prison for 20 years if they can.
00:20:23.320 This brings us to Ukraine because there's a headline out of Ukraine that is really shocking
00:20:29.720 people who think that the war in Ukraine is a totally clear cut, very simple matter.
00:20:35.680 And the story is that Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, who is heroically fighting
00:20:41.960 against the Russian invasion and standing up to Vladimir Putin and refusing to back down. So
00:20:46.640 everyone in the West loves him and they're saying he's, he's the great savior of Western freedom.
00:20:51.140 Zelensky just banned opposition parties from his country. Wait a second. That doesn't sound very
00:20:56.800 democratic. That doesn't sound very freedom. That doesn't sound, hold on. What do you mean?
00:21:02.280 President Zelensky just introduced, just banned, not even the fringe opposition parties,
00:21:06.980 but Ukraine's main opposition party as one as, as well as 10 others as part of an anti-Russia
00:21:13.180 crackdown. The four life party, the left opposition, the progressive socialist party,
00:21:18.720 the socialist party, the socialists, the union of left forces, the party of Cherie,
00:21:22.580 the opposition bloc, our state and Volodymyr Saldo bloc. They've all been banned by decree for at least
00:21:29.980 as long as martial law remains in place. This is obviously a big knock to the argument that Ukraine
00:21:39.620 is a liberal democratic country. But before you go blame Zelensky, just like I say, before you go
00:21:45.380 blame Xi Jinping or you go blame Vladimir Putin, before you go blaming Zelensky, take a look at what
00:21:51.040 we have done in the United States. You know, there's a lot of censorship. There's a lot of banning in
00:21:58.900 America. The clearest example of this is when, forget about the elections for a second. The
00:22:03.680 clearest example of this is when Harry's razors decided to attack me and try to cancel me on
00:22:08.980 Twitter. That's right. You thought I forgot. I didn't. One year ago today, some fake Twitter
00:22:13.540 account with two followers who is almost certainly a Democrat operative comes out and digs up some old
00:22:19.820 clip of me on Candace Owens' old show before she was at the Daily Wire from years prior. And it was a
00:22:28.760 clip in which she said that men are not women. And I agreed with her and they tagged Harry's and 1.00
00:22:33.240 Harry's came on my show. They were only a sponsor after that clip even aired. And, but Harry's came
00:22:38.540 out, gave into the pressure of the two person follower, fake Twitter account and said that my,
00:22:44.500 my statements were condemnable or awful, were not in line with their values and really,
00:22:49.420 really attacked anyone. Our listeners, half of America at least that believes that men
00:22:56.100 and women are different and called us terrible people and said after, after our listeners had
00:23:03.060 been buying their product for a long time and said, yeah, we hate you. Basically saying we hate you
00:23:07.040 guys. And so revenge is a dish best served cold. We have spent the, the ensuing year after this
00:23:15.540 happened with Jeremy Boring meticulously planning how to create his own rival razor company at the URL
00:23:23.120 I hate Harry's dot com. Check out the trailer. Do you remember when there were two genders and only 1.00
00:23:28.260 one and a half of them had to shave their mustaches? I'm Jeremy Boring, CEO and God King of the Daily
00:23:33.700 Wire. Harry's razors used to advertise on our shows. They're a great product and we were happy to do it.
00:23:39.940 That's before some peon who works for me went and said that boys are boys and girls are girls.
00:23:44.160 And that was just too much for Harry's. And they dropped their ads from our network because of what
00:23:49.000 they called values misalignment. Harry's razors doesn't want your business. I do. You can buy
00:23:55.000 my new razor instead. Behold, Jeremy's razors. Yes, they're real. Yes, they're fabulous.

00:25:57.880 from the ground. He's got firsthand experience to show you exactly how dishonest the media were.
00:26:03.280 Go preorder his book today at Amazon. That is Julio Rosas. Go check out the book. We'll be right
00:26:08.640 back with a lot more. Ukraine President Vladimir Zelensky has banned opposition parties from the
00:26:26.440 country, which throws a wrench into the argument that Ukraine is this pristine, perfect democracy
00:26:31.440 utopian democracy and is single-handedly fighting against autocracy all over the world. In a way,
00:26:36.800 it does. But actually, Zelensky might have his reasons, okay? They have declared martial law
00:26:42.780 there because the country is at war right now. And the country is at war. And so democracy,
00:26:48.800 perfect pristine democracy is not going to exist right now. There might not be a government. There
00:26:53.660 might not be much of a country left after this war. And so Zelensky is doing what he needs to do.
00:26:58.500 And he's showing that perfect, pristine, utopian democracy doesn't really exist all the time.
00:27:03.240 We've done the same thing here in America. We've done the same thing here. Back in, what was it,
00:27:08.060 1918 in America, there was a socialist candidate for president, Eugene Debs. He was fairly popular,
00:27:15.040 actually. And Woodrow Wilson threw him into prison. He threw him into prison because he believed that the
00:27:20.620 socialist, Eugene Debs, was so far out of the mainstream of American politics as to actually have
00:27:27.140 broken the law. And he put him in prison and would not let the man seriously compete to become
00:27:32.380 president. You don't need to go all the way back to a hundred years ago. You can go back to just a
00:27:38.160 couple of years ago. Donald Trump was never thrown in prison, but the left did their best to do it.
00:27:43.600 They tried to impeach him twice and remove him from office. Now they're using the courts to try to
00:27:47.680 arrest him, to throw him in prison for some trumped up tax charge or some financial crime or for whatever
00:27:53.120 they can. They're trying to punish their political opposition and make it such that Donald Trump
00:27:57.520 can never run for president again. They already kicked him off of social media, which is the
00:28:02.040 public square, which is how we engage in democratic politics. In a self-governing republic, speech is
00:28:08.880 politics. Politics is speech. If you take away a person's ability to speak in the public square,
00:28:13.460 where 90% of the information that moves around our country goes, then you are taking a huge,
00:28:18.880 huge chunk out of their ability to compete in democratic politics. Which is why when I point
00:28:24.780 out an inconvenient fact about Ukraine, namely that it's not really a democracy, that increasingly
00:28:31.460 it's not particularly liberal or democratic or that they're banning opposition parties. They'd already
00:28:37.360 done this in the past. They had banned opposition media. They've arrested journalists. Okay. I'm not
00:28:42.700 even saying this as a criticism. I'm not even saying this. I'm saying it to give context when we're
00:28:48.240 talking about a regime in China, who's a geopolitical foe of the United States. When we talk about the
00:28:54.520 regime in Russia, geopolitical foe of the United States. When we talk about the regime in Ukraine,
00:29:00.140 such as it is, is it on our side? Is it on Russia's side? Is it a buffer state? I think it is much more
00:29:05.420 helpful to talk about politics in terms of practical goals than it is to talk about pie in the sky,
00:29:13.240 democracy versus autocracy, freedom versus slavery, good versus evil. I'm not saying that those things
00:29:22.320 don't exist. I'm not drawing a moral equivalence between regimes on earth. I'm simply pointing out
00:29:27.060 that when we want to get into actual statecraft, actual statesmanship, how are we going to resolve
00:29:33.520 this war in Ukraine? It's not going to be terribly helpful to use these really overly simplistic
00:29:39.600 descriptions or caricatures of these various countries. They sometimes apply more clearly
00:29:48.620 and sometimes less clearly. And in this conflict, I don't think that really, that tweeting,
00:29:53.840 that changing your profile picture to blue and yellow, to putting the little flag in your Twitter,
00:29:58.100 that's not going to do anything. Even canceling Russia and pulling all the corporations out of 0.98
00:30:02.760 Russia, is that going to help? I don't think that's helped at all. Even, we've talked about this from 0.90
00:30:07.440 the beginning of the Ukraine conflict, the sort of endless expansion of NATO and the European
00:30:12.160 Union. Has that helped? Has that made the West stronger? Has that made Russia weaker? Has that made
00:30:16.500 Ukraine stronger? No, I don't think it accomplished any of those goals. What is wanted here is not 0.99
00:30:21.700 simple condemnations, hashtag slacktivism. What is wanted is wisdom. The Chinese ambassador to the
00:30:28.020 United States was just invited on CBS's Sunday show on Face the Nation. And it was one of the saddest
00:30:34.120 performances I've ever seen, not by the Chinese ambassador, but by the CBS anchor, because they
00:30:40.260 invite this guy on to describe the situation, which now involves a lot more than just America and Russia
00:30:46.440 and Europe and Ukraine. It involves China, it involves India. We're really talking about a 0.96
00:30:51.400 potentially global conflict. And every time this guy tried to make a statement, an observation about
00:30:57.720 what's going on. This anchor woman cut him off and demanded that he condemn Russia.
00:31:04.360 And we are in the opinion. Would you be concerned if Russia amassed more than 150,000 troops
00:31:10.260 at China's border? Well, that's why we want to have a good, friendly, good neighborly relations with
00:31:20.160 Russia. But you would recognize that's not good, friendly, neighborly relations, but 150,000 troops on
00:31:25.540 the border of a neighboring country and then to send those troops into that country. In those
00:31:31.080 circumstances, why can't you condemn this as an invasion? Well, let's don't be naive. Condemnation.
00:31:40.280 It sounds naive to say that's not an invasion. It doesn't solve the problem. I would be surprised
00:31:46.860 if Russia will back down by condemnation. What is urgently needed. Will they back down if your
00:31:54.880 president asks Vladimir Putin to back down? Will your president ask Vladimir Putin to back down?
00:32:00.820 We have done so. They will lie on you. And we will continue. Condemnation
00:32:04.100 only doesn't help. We need wisdom. We need wisdom. We need courage. And we need good diplomacy.
00:32:15.820 So while this babbling woman is, is running her mouth, cutting him off, he's making a very good 1.00
00:32:23.340 point. The Chinese ambassador is saying, don't be naive. I don't think that condemnation, and she
00:32:29.500 cuts him off. She won't even let him get the point out. She says, well, no, but it's, you're being
00:32:33.300 naive. No, you, no, we need to condemn. Why does it? And he says, lady, God, condemnation is not going
00:32:40.400 to solve the war in Ukraine. If condemnation were going to solve the war in Ukraine, the war in
00:32:46.440 Ukraine would be over by now because everybody's condemned Russia. Everybody's condemned Putin,
00:32:51.060 not just the nations. The, the companies, the corporations have all pulled out of Russia.
00:32:56.760 We've got major sanctions on Russia, not just ordinary sanctions. They sanctioned the central bank.
00:33:01.180 They destroyed the economy. They destroyed the Russian ruble. And yet the war keeps going on.
00:33:05.240 But the strategy of condemnation hasn't done very much of anything. That's the point the Chinese 1.00
00:33:12.060 ambassador is making. She says, well, why won't your, why won't your boss, why won't Xi Jinping
00:33:16.520 tell Putin to pull out of Ukraine? And the Chinese ambassador said, well, he's done that. Now he's
00:33:22.240 probably done that. He's done that publicly, but he doesn't really mean it privately. And he's, he's
00:33:26.220 making exactly the same point he's been making the whole time. He says, lady, your slogans are not
00:33:32.500 doing it. Maybe your slogans, maybe your condemnation, maybe you're changing your profile
00:33:37.440 picture and putting the little flag in your avatar. Maybe that makes you feel better as you watch the
00:33:43.780 carnage unfolding Ukraine, but it's not doing anything to stop the carnage. What is wanted now
00:33:50.400 is wisdom and diplomacy. Russia is winning the war. Ukraine is losing the war. It's not even close.
00:33:59.200 Western propaganda is trying to convince people that Ukraine is winning the war. And they make 1.00
00:34:04.520 up a bunch of BS stories about the ghost of Kiev and the snake Island people who told Russia to go
00:34:11.820 F themselves. And then they were all blasted away and they make up a bunch of stuff to try to win
00:34:16.340 the propaganda war. Oh, well, that's fine. There's propaganda in every war, but we shouldn't believe
00:34:20.920 our own propaganda. Okay. Because we're going to feel really good and really indignant. And we're going
00:34:26.200 to feel so wonderful about our condemnations until Ukraine doesn't exist anymore. And then we're all 1.00
00:34:30.300 going to be surprised because we believed our own hype and BS. Or here's another strategy. We could
00:34:36.820 deal with the reality on the ground. Frankly, this ties into what we were talking to yesterday and what
00:34:41.820 we've been talking to for weeks about the transgender swimmer at the NCAA championships. It's what we're
00:34:48.960 talking about with the radicalism in our schools and the way that policies have been presented around
00:34:56.720 the country. The way we've talked about COVID even. The huge chasm between the narrative and reality.
00:35:03.100 Well, if you're just dealing in the fantasy, you're not going to solve any problems in reality. So
00:35:07.400 I wish that the Chinese ambassador had been able to get more words out before that babbling lady on CBS 1.00
00:35:14.640 cut him off because I think there's actually quite a lot of wisdom in what he's saying. If you want to
00:35:20.400 stop the encroachments of Russia westward, if you want to defend the nation of Ukraine,
00:35:26.180 if you don't even care that much about Ukraine, but you want to defend American hegemony and you want
00:35:31.840 to defend the strength of the West, then start dealing in facts. Okay. And maybe you won't feel as good
00:35:37.660 about that. Maybe you won't get as many likes on Facebook and Twitter, but it will do a lot more
00:35:42.420 to actually help the situation on the ground. When you watch that man, that Chinese ambassador to the
00:35:50.180 US speaking to that woman, you can see the effects of two kinds of education, two different education 1.00
00:35:57.040 systems. The Chinese education system, which didn't start out all that great, but has been
00:36:02.420 rapidly improving because they're focused on making their country much stronger and their citizens much
00:36:07.020 smarter. And then the American education system, which fills our kids' heads with lies and fantasies
00:36:12.140 and talks about critical race theory and how little five-year-old boys can really be little
00:36:16.040 girls all day and talks about structural racism, how terrible America is. And doesn't even teach 0.96
00:36:20.520 people basic manners like let your guest finish before you interrupt him. And it's pathetic because
00:36:26.480 that Chinese ambassador seemed much smarter and much wiser and much more in command of himself
00:36:35.520 and world affairs than that news anchor did. And that's her job. She's supposed to be in 0.96
00:36:40.360 command of those things. She's a TV host and a news anchor. And yet she doesn't seem to know much
00:36:45.500 about anything. I think it comes down to an education problem. And is it any wonder?
00:36:51.160 Sometimes I wonder, do conservatives exaggerate the problems in our schools? My kid is not in school
00:36:58.500 yet. I have not been in school for some years now when I graduated college about 10 years ago. So it's
00:37:03.540 been a while since I've been in schools. Are things really as bad as we make them out to be?
00:37:07.320 And the answer is yes, because we have videos from school board meetings. Sometimes we have
00:37:12.600 videos from classrooms. There was a school board meeting in Cherokee County, Georgia,
00:37:16.820 where a mother stood up. She was irate because of the materials that were being handed out to 0.95
00:37:25.120 students in this school. And so she decided, she said, look, you all think it's fine for the kids to
00:37:31.080 be reading this obscene material. Let me just read you some of this material. And the school board
00:37:36.280 ruled her out of order for reading material that should not be heard by anyone in the audience.
00:37:43.000 One person in the committee thinks that it's the same. It does. Like the one child has learned
00:37:50.400 the appeal to me, which I look at. But her one must stay because of the 18 to play a green 0.99
00:37:56.240 actress. Then the next thing is going to be a green child. It's not a green issue. I told her now,
00:38:02.920 what was the question. For M Witchiler, she put her in his procedure. Yes, she is a lot more 0.77
00:38:16.800 tear. Susan said, fly it, Sami A Stick. Step nine, let me give the burden and care of all
00:38:23.320 There are children watching.
00:38:47.020 You can't read that stuff.
00:38:48.020 Yeah, that's the point, guys.
00:38:50.180 I'm reading the material that you are requiring our students to read, and then I'm reading
00:38:55.320 it back to you, and you're saying, don't read it back to me.
00:38:56.900 The students might be listening.
00:38:58.660 I love the absolute obliviousness from the school board.
00:39:02.960 And the mother, she can't contain herself anymore.
00:39:05.580 She says, do you hear yourselves?
00:39:07.840 Do you hear yourselves?
00:39:08.620 If material is too obscene to be read at a meeting of the school board, which is 99%
00:39:16.720 or more for adults, then the material is too obscene to be read to the kids, to the children.
00:39:26.560 And the school board members don't seem to process this.
00:39:29.800 Because the school board members aren't really making the curriculum, right?
00:39:32.400 The curriculum is being created by radicals, and it is being pushed into the schools by
00:39:38.220 activists.
00:39:39.560 And then the school board and the administrators and often even the teachers really don't know
00:39:43.720 anything about it, and they don't know how to fight back.
00:39:45.420 I bet those school board members are just as shocked as anyone to hear that that kind
00:39:51.300 of material is in the schools.
00:39:52.960 That's how effective the left has been at taking over our education system. 0.84
00:39:58.140 That's how backwards everything has gotten.
00:40:02.820 There is no neutrality here, okay?
00:40:06.760 There is no fairness.
00:40:07.900 We talk about, we see it in Ukraine right now, banning all the opposition parties.
00:40:12.580 That's not fair.
00:40:13.480 That's not liberalism.
00:40:14.460 That's not democracy.
00:40:15.360 There's no neutrality there.
00:40:16.680 You see in a lot of other worse regimes around the world, banning their opposition parties.
00:40:20.940 I think the breaking news just came through that Vladimir Putin just sentenced the main opposition
00:40:26.320 leader in Russia, who's not even all that popular, sentenced him to another nine years
00:40:29.780 in prison.
00:40:31.420 But it's not just in those really bad far away places that you see that.
00:40:34.840 You see that in America too.
00:40:36.060 You see child pornographers getting off the hook, and you see January 6th people going
00:40:41.060 to prison for 20 years.
00:40:42.320 You see BLM people throwing Molotov cocktails at federal buildings, and they get a little 1.00
00:40:46.280 slap on the wrist, if that.
00:40:48.260 Usually they just get released without any question.
00:40:52.120 And then you see conservatives being punished.
00:40:55.040 You see the Clintons, the Bidens making a boatload of money through corruption, not just
00:41:01.420 in America, but overseas as well, taking money and bribes from some of the worst people
00:41:05.300 in the world.
00:41:06.300 And then Donald Trump, without any crime that I can actually see the left point to, they
00:41:11.220 go in, they bring in the Southern District of New York, they try to get this guy, they
00:41:14.340 try to prevent.
00:41:15.380 There's not any perfect neutrality here, okay?
00:41:18.920 We are living in a real political regime that really does have limits, and the limits are
00:41:24.500 moving very, very far to the left.
00:41:26.200 And if you are outside of those limits, the ruling class is going to come for you.
00:41:33.940 At that NCAA swimming championship the other day, the one where that hulking dude beat all
00:41:39.320 the little girls and everyone had to applaud for this, that was not the end of the transgender 0.99
00:41:46.120 activism there.
00:41:47.920 It was not just one confused kid showed up and swam.
00:41:50.540 This has become a cause celeb for all of the transgender activists, both the people who
00:41:56.620 are sexually confused and their supporters. 0.82
00:41:59.920 So there was a woman who showed up, Kelly J. Keene, Posey Parker, who is a really terrific
00:42:04.920 activist, anti-trans, pro-woman activist.
00:42:09.300 And she showed up, and she asked a giant hulking man in a dress, not the swimmer on the team,
00:42:17.380 just an older man who was there, asked him not to go into the women's bathroom, not to
00:42:22.720 go into the women's locker room. 1.00
00:42:24.060 And this man treated Kelly with absolute contempt.
00:42:29.060 On the basis of the comfort and dignity of girls and women, I'm asking you, I'm telling
00:42:35.120 you, please do not use women's faces. 1.00
00:42:37.220 It makes them feel uncomfortable.
00:42:38.820 My girls and the other women I am with are very comfortable with me in the bathroom. 1.00
00:42:43.880 Right.
00:42:43.900 Well, fortunately, I'm not your daughter, and my daughter is also not your daughter.
00:42:48.360 No, that's right.
00:42:48.800 So she should stay in the room?
00:42:50.140 She would feel very uncomfortable.
00:42:52.860 No, I'm not, right.
00:42:54.140 No, you interrupted me.
00:42:55.480 Excuse me.
00:42:55.860 You interrupted me.
00:42:56.680 I'm not here for a debate.
00:42:57.260 Beth, do you mind?
00:42:57.840 Right.
00:42:58.420 I would like to, I would ask you to please call up your daughter.
00:43:01.000 I beg your pardon.
00:43:02.220 Whoa! 0.71
00:43:02.780 I am asking you, as a mother, I'm asking you of a mother, do not use female's faces. 1.00
00:43:08.560 And I'm very uncomfortable.
00:43:09.480 It makes women and girls feel very uncomfortable. 0.96
00:43:11.700 As a mother, as a mother, I am.
00:43:12.680 You are not, how dare you.
00:43:13.820 As a mother, I am very.
00:43:15.800 You're not a mother. 0.99
00:43:16.320 You'll never birth your children.
00:43:18.160 You're not a mother, Dawn.
00:43:19.440 I did a job of mom, which is a mother.
00:43:22.720 You are absolutely, you are not a mother.
00:43:25.500 You'll never, and this man is there just treating her, excuse me, hey, call off your dogs. 1.00
00:43:31.320 Hey, call off your dogs. 0.98
00:43:32.500 Treating her so contemptuously, and it's, he's bigger than her.
00:43:35.560 He's just visibly a man.
00:43:36.680 When you hear these stories, you think, oh, quit picking on the sexually confused people.
00:43:41.460 Oh, you know, come on, you mean old feminist woman, stop. 1.00
00:43:44.680 But then you look at the reality, and it's a big hulking dude putting a woman in her 0.93
00:43:49.280 place and saying, no, I don't care if you want to use the bathroom on your own. 0.94
00:43:52.200 I don't care.
00:43:53.120 I'm going to use that bathroom now.
00:43:54.780 I don't care if your daughter wants to be able to change without my prying eyes, my sexually 0.82
00:43:59.460 disturbed eyes looking at her, and me getting naked too with all of my male body parts visible.
00:44:07.120 Well, I don't, I'm going to do it.
00:44:08.660 And you call off your dogs, and you shut your mouth, and you let me do it. 0.99
00:44:13.440 That's the reality of this situation, okay?
00:44:16.560 The chasm between the narrative and the reality is pretty big.
00:44:21.640 The narrative, trans, trans women are women.
00:44:26.220 Look at that guy.
00:44:26.960 If you're listening to this clip, you can at least hear it in his voice.
00:44:29.680 Does he sound like a woman to you?
00:44:30.960 Does he look like a woman to you? 0.91
00:44:32.100 No.
00:44:32.560 He's a big dude.
00:44:33.980 He's a big dude who lived for 50 years as a man who fathered three children and who now
00:44:40.240 claims that he is a mother.
00:44:42.860 But he's not a mother.
00:44:44.340 He's a big, hulking dude.
00:44:45.740 And he's saying, I'm going to go in, and I'm going to get naked.
00:44:48.820 If I want to go to a locker room, I'm going to get naked in front of your daughter, and 1.00
00:44:52.140 you have to deal with that.
00:44:53.220 If you want to have a bathroom, you go to the bathroom by yourself, too bad.
00:44:56.280 I'm going to go into that bathroom too.
00:44:58.120 And shut up. 1.00
00:44:58.840 There's nothing.
00:44:59.580 That's the reality.
00:45:00.340 That's the sick reality of it.
00:45:04.160 Very different than the narrative.
00:45:07.760 There's an amazing contradiction that we're seeing right now.
00:45:12.460 Andrew Garfield, the actor, is demonstrating this contradiction.
00:45:16.500 He was asked if he should be allowed to play a gay character because he's not a gay guy.
00:45:20.400 So should he be allowed to play a gay character? 0.99
00:45:21.840 We've seen this controversy in recent years.
00:45:23.360 Should a non-transgender person, whatever that means, play a transgender person?
00:45:30.780 Should a non-Asian person be able to play an Asian person? 0.91
00:45:34.520 What if they're Hispanic and they look kind of Asian? 0.80
00:45:36.600 Or should they be allowed?
00:45:37.660 Oh, maybe not.
00:45:39.240 Should you be able to play anybody who has qualities that you do not have?
00:45:45.880 And this is such a funny part of this debate because the definition of being an actor is
00:45:50.640 that you pretend to be someone that you're not.
00:45:52.840 So if you tell actors they can't pretend to be people that they're not, then they can't
00:45:56.620 act anymore.
00:45:57.100 Then you've just gotten rid of acting.
00:45:58.580 Acting is living truthfully in imaginary circumstances.
00:46:03.020 But you need the imaginary circumstances part.
00:46:05.620 So Garfield says, quote, if we only allow people to be cast as exactly who they are,
00:46:10.960 it'll be the death of empathic imagination.
00:46:15.500 So the two separate conversations have to happen simultaneously, meaning, you know,
00:46:18.980 talking about whether we should have more movies with more diverse casts and also should
00:46:24.220 people be able to play people that they're not.
00:46:26.440 I'm not willing to support the death of empathic imagination.
00:46:29.620 It's what we need most as a culture and it's beautiful.
00:46:32.180 It's the only thing that's going to save us right now.
00:46:34.240 So he's defending imagination.
00:46:39.380 And the craziest, it didn't hit me until Andrew Garfield put it this way.
00:46:44.900 But what we are told is that imaginary things have to be real.
00:46:52.780 We're being told that men who think they're women, we have to pretend that they're actually 1.00
00:46:56.880 women, that people with all sorts of disordered delusions, we have to indulge those delusions. 1.00
00:47:03.440 We have to all play pretend all the time.
00:47:08.340 But real things have to be imaginary.
00:47:13.600 So we're not, you're not, the actor, the actor whose job it is to play pretend is not allowed
00:47:20.060 to play pretend.
00:47:20.700 But the person living in real life has to play pretend all the time.
00:47:26.400 The man who thinks that he's a woman or for whatever reason wants to present himself as a woman.
00:47:31.900 We all need to go along with that.
00:47:34.020 But if that same man were cast in a movie, he's not allowed to play a woman.
00:47:38.860 Unless he's pretending to be a woman in real life.
00:47:42.000 It's this complete invert, what should really happen is that imaginary things are imaginary
00:47:46.660 and real things are real.
00:47:47.580 And we've completely confused the two.
00:47:49.360 We are so far down the rabbit hole.
00:47:52.220 And we've got this real obsession with sex.
00:47:54.180 I have to get to this story before we go.
00:47:55.820 There's a Democrat activist down in Florida.
00:47:57.560 Her name is Kim Mangone, who has just put up a giant billboard with Democrat PAC money. 1.00
00:48:06.140 And all the billboard says is gay.
00:48:08.320 Gay, because you know how you're, you can't say gay in Florida.
00:48:11.380 You're not allowed to say gay.
00:48:13.680 I mean, that's not true.
00:48:14.920 There's no bill that says you can't say gay. 0.98
00:48:16.540 The bill they say says don't say gay doesn't even say the word gay in it.
00:48:20.560 But the Democrats have created this completely fictitious narrative that you're not allowed
00:48:23.900 to say gay in Florida now, thanks to Ron DeSantis.
00:48:25.720 So they spend a lot of money on this billboard and says gay.
00:48:29.220 And she writes, she goes, how many of these billboards do you want me to put up in Florida?
00:48:35.320 My answer is a lot of them.
00:48:36.840 I am 100% in favor of Democrat activists wasting their money on gay billboards that don't say 0.96
00:48:43.960 anything about candidates, that will not be popular, that are opposing a bill that is
00:48:48.700 extremely popular in Florida, and that is pushing a radical agenda that has caused America's
00:48:55.720 of all stripes and all affiliations to sway heavily to conservatives in recent years.
00:49:00.680 Go for it.
00:49:01.600 Give me the gay billboards that finally we've got some political compromise. 1.00
00:49:05.220 We agree.
00:49:06.040 Put up those gay billboards. 1.00
00:49:07.500 Tell us exactly what you believe, Democrats.
00:49:10.100 I want total clarity.
00:49:11.600 I want the Supreme Court nominees saying that they support critical race theory.
00:49:15.820 Just come out and say it.
00:49:16.920 I want Democrats all over the country saying they support hulking dudes going into little
00:49:21.460 girls' locker rooms.
00:49:22.340 Yup, come out and say it.
00:49:23.200 Just tell me the truth.
00:49:25.700 Tell me and we'll believe it.
00:49:27.860 I want Democrats coming out against curriculum transparency.
00:49:30.860 I want them telling parents to go pound sand. 0.99
00:49:32.780 And then we're going to see who wins in November.
