00:00:30.280 On this, the fourth day of the fourth month of the year of our Lord 2022,

00:00:34.700 the Washington Post is finally admitting that Hunter Biden peddled his father's influence

00:00:40.620 for big bucks all around the world.

00:00:43.220 Now, many people have suspected the Biden family's cash for favors scheme for many years now,

00:00:49.420 but we've had irrefutable evidence of it since October 14th, 2020,

00:00:55.660 when the New York Post reported on the contents of Hunter Biden's laptop hard drive,

00:01:00.480 which revealed lots of degenerate sex stuff and, more damningly,

00:01:06.140 lots of financial chicanery implicating not just Hunter, but his big guy father, too.

00:01:12.600 When that story broke two years ago, the entire liberal establishment conspired to shut it down.

00:01:19.300 I had actually forgotten until just now.

00:01:21.620 We posted a brief special on it outlining what was in the laptop, what it really meant,

00:01:26.480 and we were called conspiracy theorists and kooks and cranks and crazy people.

00:01:30.800 Turns out we were 100% correct.

00:01:32.620 You know how much I hate to say I told you so, but you can find it on my YouTube channel.

00:01:37.280 You were not allowed to post this article, at least, to social media.

00:01:41.860 You were accused of fake news if you even talked about this thing.

00:01:45.800 You could not privately message it, and the papers of record all denied it.

00:01:50.680 The Washington Post's fact checker reported, fact checker, quote unquote,

00:01:54.320 that he had, quote, not been able to verify or authenticate these emails,

00:01:59.520 said that there were fears that the emails could be part of a broader disinformation campaign by Russia.

00:02:07.460 A slew of other Washington Post op-eds called the hard drive contents unverified,

00:02:12.560 said they had never been authenticated, and called the whole report sketchy.

00:02:17.240 The rest of the establishment media did exactly the same thing.

00:02:21.180 The New York Times and all the rest of them.

00:02:24.260 Now, however, the Washington Post is running big headlines.

00:02:28.040 Inside Hunter Biden's multi-million dollar deals with a Chinese energy company.

00:02:34.480 Hunter, it turns out, made $4.8 million in retainer and consulting fees

00:02:40.320 from a dodgy Chinese energy company in just 14 months.

00:02:44.320 Because of his expertise in Chinese energy?

00:02:47.220 I don't think so.

00:02:47.900 I think more to do with his last name.

00:02:50.520 Tony Bobulinski, who's a businessman who worked with the Bidens on their business in China,

00:02:54.900 has gone on the record admitting that 10% equity was being, quote,

00:02:59.660 held by H, Hunter, for his father, the big guy.

00:03:04.680 Joe Biden has been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

00:03:07.880 We are talking about an historic degree of corruption.

00:03:13.340 And the most left-wing establishment papers of all of them are admitting it.

00:03:18.440 The question we should be asking ourselves is, why?

00:03:22.780 Why are these shameless propagandists all of a sudden turning on the Democrat president?

00:03:28.960 Is it because suddenly they've given up their decades of dishonesty?

00:03:32.880 They've become honest newsmen overnight?

00:03:35.800 Or is it because Biden's ratings are in the gutter, his presidency is a failure,

00:03:40.940 and the establishment finally wants him out?

00:03:43.120 Before conservatives celebrate the left's confession that they lied about the laptop

00:03:47.880 and rigged the presidential election two years ago,

00:03:50.960 perhaps we ought to focus on the present and ask,

00:03:53.960 what are the swamp creatures up to now?

00:03:56.740 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:03:57.480 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:04:05.120 Welcome back to the show.

00:04:06.280 My favorite comment on Friday is from Raven Queen, who says,

00:04:09.240 being able to say a string of words without really meaning anything

00:04:13.820 is an art form both Biden and Kamala have mastered.

00:04:17.460 That's true.

00:04:17.980 There are two kinds of politicians.

00:04:19.440 There are the conviction politicians who really believe something.

00:04:22.900 The things they can believe can be good or bad, doesn't matter.

00:04:25.140 They're the conviction ones.

00:04:26.240 And then there are the empty suit politicians, like Joe Biden, like Kamala Harris.

00:04:30.980 The conviction politicians, I would include Obama in that.

00:04:35.000 They know what they want.

00:04:37.080 So they're not just stringing meaningless words together.

00:04:40.000 When they say things that seem kind of slippery and oily,

00:04:44.500 they're doing it for a rhetorical purpose.

00:04:46.080 They actually want to get something done.

00:04:47.320 They want to do something.

00:04:48.780 The empty suit politicians, they just want to be something.

00:04:51.640 They just want to have a post office named after them.

00:04:53.840 They just want to get fancy honors at fancy parties, and that's it.

00:04:57.800 And sometimes the empty suit politicians are the most dangerous of them all.

00:05:02.400 At least when you're dealing with an ideologue, you know what they're after.

00:05:05.180 When it comes to the blow-in-the-wind politicians, they can be the least predictable.

00:05:11.220 Now, when you want to predictably protect your home, I would strongly recommend you check out

00:05:15.040 Ring.

00:05:15.960 Right now, go to ring.com slash Knowles.

00:05:19.200 You know about Ring's video doorbell.

00:05:20.820 It's amazing.

00:05:21.580 You can see and speak to whoever is at your door, wherever you are in the world.

00:05:25.280 You know, perhaps, about Ring's award-winning home security system, Ring Alarm.

00:05:30.740 Now you've got to go pro.

00:05:32.020 You've got to go pro because when you've got the Ring Alarm security system, yes, you're

00:05:37.020 protecting your physical home from freeze, from fire, from flood, from the bad guys.

00:05:42.260 That's great.

00:05:43.280 But when you go pro, you're not just protecting your physical home.

00:05:47.380 You're protecting your digital home as well.

00:05:49.940 You're protecting your internet usage.

00:05:52.480 You're protecting your data.

00:05:53.620 You're protecting all of that.

00:05:55.380 And as we live more and more of our lives online, it's so much more important to protect that.

00:06:00.360 CNET absolutely loves these guys.

00:06:02.820 They call the Ring Alarm Pro a giant leap for home security.

00:06:06.580 Go check it out right now.

00:06:07.940 I am so pleased to have teamed up with Ring.

00:06:10.260 I am so pleased to have gone pro.

00:06:13.020 To learn more, go to ring.com slash Knowles.

00:06:15.740 K-N-O-W-L-E-S. 1.00

00:06:16.600 That is ring.com slash Knowles.

00:06:19.360 I hate to bring down the mood.

00:06:22.160 I hate to stop the celebrations for a second because it's great.

00:06:26.660 I'm glad that the New York Post, not the New York Post, the Washington Post and the New York

00:06:31.520 Times are admitting that the New York Post was correct in its reporting on Hunter Biden's laptop.

00:06:35.960 I'm glad that they're admitting the conservatives were right two years ago.

00:06:39.220 Great.

00:06:39.800 I guess that's some validation, some affirmation.

00:06:42.460 Doesn't mean a damn thing now. 0.68

00:06:44.060 They already rigged the presidential election by denying this report.

00:06:48.120 But okay, great.

00:06:49.160 I'm glad that they're admitting that we weren't just total kooks and cranks.

00:06:52.480 But please forgive me if I'm a little skeptical that they've changed their wicked ways and now

00:07:00.220 they're honest newsmen.

00:07:01.880 I don't buy it for a second.

00:07:04.060 Conservatives are so guilty of this.

00:07:05.820 We're so often fighting the last war.

00:07:08.000 We're so often trying to relitigate the past.

00:07:11.440 We're so often so focused on battles that the left has already won that we're not paying

00:07:17.080 attention to what they're doing right now.

00:07:18.560 It's like any con artist in a shell game.

00:07:20.600 Any guy posted up on a street corner in New York City, you're following the hand that they

00:07:26.080 want you to follow.

00:07:27.100 You're not seeing what that other hand is doing over there in the corner.

00:07:29.920 Why are they turning on Biden?

00:07:32.560 Why?

00:07:33.100 Is it because they're honest?

00:07:34.000 I don't think so.

00:07:34.600 I think it's because Biden's not that useful to them anymore.

00:07:37.220 And so the knives are coming out and maybe they're looking to get someone else in there.

00:07:40.500 Back when Biden was the best bet for the left to maintain power, they all went behind

00:07:44.740 him and they rigged an election for him and they censored conservatives for telling the

00:07:48.840 truth and they changed the election rules and they did everything they could.

00:07:52.720 They did everything they could to give an advantage to Joe Biden.

00:07:56.460 Now that he's no longer the one, I don't know, maybe they're going to look somewhere else.

00:08:00.220 Maybe they're going to look at Kamala.

00:08:01.480 Maybe they're going to look at Pete Buttigieg.

00:08:03.660 These things, generally speaking, do not happen by accident.

00:08:08.600 And now, and it's not just the newspapers.

00:08:10.760 Now social media will let you post about the Hunter Biden laptop.

00:08:13.160 Now some Democrat politicians are maybe willing to start talking about it because Biden is a

00:08:21.040 failure.

00:08:21.660 They're admitting that he's corrupt and they already know that the guys is, the lights are

00:08:26.620 on, but nobody's home.

00:08:27.880 Joe Biden was just giving a speech discussing his wife and discussing Michelle Obama and

00:08:33.300 talking about when one of them was the vice president.

00:08:36.040 And I'm deeply proud of the work she's doing as first lady with joining forces initiative.

00:08:42.200 She started with Michelle Obama when she was vice president and now carries on.

00:08:47.540 And Michelle is in the who and the what and the where am I now?

00:08:51.940 It's unclear from Biden's remarks if he was calling Jill Biden, excuse me, Dr. Jill Biden,

00:08:58.540 if he was calling Dr. Jill Biden the vice president, or if he was calling Michelle Obama the president,

00:09:04.560 the vice president.

00:09:05.280 Either way, of course, neither of them were the vice president.

00:09:07.360 Or if he was just getting confused because he was the vice president and Jill was the

00:09:12.240 second lady and now she's the first lady. 1.00

00:09:14.540 His pistons are not firing the way that they're supposed to be.

00:09:18.480 He's slurring his words.

00:09:20.020 He's dropping the definite articles.

00:09:22.240 And I'm proud what she's done, joint commission on the, he's just not with it.

00:09:28.300 So he's reciting the talking points of the radical left as best he can.

00:09:35.480 He, on transgender day of visibility, Joe Biden put out a scripted, pre-recorded, highly produced

00:09:42.880 video where he was obviously reading off a teleprompter.

00:09:46.060 They could have as many takes as they wanted.

00:09:47.840 They could go into the editing room, do the best that they possibly could.

00:09:50.940 And even then, it sounded like he was half asleep.

00:09:55.360 To everyone celebrating Transgender Day of Visibility, I want you to know that your president sees you.

00:10:02.720 Jill, Kamala, Doug, our entire administration sees you for who you are, made an image of God

00:10:08.900 and deserving of dignity, respect, and support.

00:10:12.120 But we know it's hard when there are those out there who don't see you and don't respect you.

00:10:17.220 For example, the onslaught of anti-transgender state laws attacking you and your families is simply wrong.

00:10:25.340 This administration is standing up for you against all these hateful bills.

00:10:29.280 And we're committed to advancing transgender equality in the classroom, on the playing field, at work,

00:10:35.420 in our military, in our housing and health care systems, everywhere, simply everywhere,

00:10:40.560 to parents of transgender children, affirming your child's identity is one of the most powerful things

00:10:45.460 you can do to keep them safe and healthy.

00:10:47.840 To any transgender American who's struggling, please know that you're not alone.

00:10:53.580 To parents and children alike, please ask for help.

00:10:57.660 What's funny about his comments is that if you didn't know the context,

00:11:03.460 if I didn't know the context, I would say I totally agree with what he said.

00:11:07.200 He says that transgender children are made in the image of God.

00:11:10.660 Yes, of course that's true.

00:11:12.040 And affirming your child's sex is one of the most important things you can do to keep your child safe and healthy.

00:11:17.980 That's true.

00:11:18.980 The problem is that the words don't mean what Joe Biden is pretending that they mean.

00:11:23.320 When Joe Biden says affirm your child's sex, he's saying pretend that your boy is a girl.

00:11:28.220 He's actually saying you should deny your child's sex and go along with your child's delusion if your child is a boy who thinks that he's a girl.

00:11:34.920 When he says that children are made in the image of God, he's evoking a Christian understanding of sex. 0.66

00:11:40.760 Well, in the beginning, God created man.

00:11:42.520 Both male and female created he them. 0.93

00:11:45.320 So he's taking this Christian understanding and completely flipping it on its head. 0.76

00:11:50.280 And you know that because of that middle part where he says we need to affirm transgenderism.

00:11:54.620 We need transgenderism everywhere, not just in the corporations, not just in the government.

00:11:59.500 We need it in the schools.

00:12:00.420 We need it in the elementary schools.

00:12:01.660 So he's gone all the way on this.

00:12:03.540 I'm sure he didn't write a word of it.

00:12:05.120 He probably doesn't know what any of it means.

00:12:06.820 He's slurring his words.

00:12:08.340 It's doubtful that he's even more than half awake while he's reading this.

00:12:12.420 But he's articulating an extremely radical view of sex, which is not popular.

00:12:18.800 The vast majority of Americans oppose this stuff, including the majority of Democrats,

00:12:23.040 oppose peddling transgenderism in schools.

00:12:26.420 This is what I mean by the dangers of the empty suit politician.

00:12:30.340 He'll just do whatever he thinks will benefit him.

00:12:32.980 He's obviously getting pretty bad advice right now.

00:12:36.420 And he's not all with it.

00:12:38.660 It does not appear that he's the one calling the shots.

00:12:41.140 Some people believe this is evidence that Joe Biden should be booted from office using

00:12:46.260 the 25th Amendment because he's just not all there.

00:12:48.900 I actually think the conclusion should be the opposite of that.

00:12:53.160 I think it's an even darker conclusion about the state of our government.

00:12:57.540 One thing we do know is Joe Biden needs to go lie down and have a good nap, a good sleep.

00:13:03.220 And when you want a beautiful, beautiful bed to lie down on, I would strongly recommend Thuma. 0.97

00:14:37.380 The former White House physician to Barack Obama, Ronnie Jackson,

00:14:41.600 has come out and said Joe Biden's got to resign.

00:14:44.500 His cognitive decline is too much.

00:14:46.860 He says, quote,

00:14:47.660 Biden is unable to articulate the major foreign policy objectives of his administration.

00:14:51.620 Every time he tries, the White House swoops in to correct what he said.

00:14:55.420 He has no idea what's going on.

00:14:57.080 His cognitive decline is too much time to resign.

00:14:59.240 That's not my conclusion.

00:15:03.060 It's sad to say, but when I look at Joe Biden, I don't think, wow,

00:15:09.340 this is evidence that our president is so far gone that he has to resign because it's so important who the president is.

00:15:14.720 My conclusion is that it doesn't really matter who the president is,

00:15:17.960 because the government is kind of running in the same crappy way that the liberal establishment has been running it

00:15:22.520 every time they amass a sufficient amount of power.

00:15:26.580 And frankly, even when there's a Republican president, the liberal establishment, the deep state, the administrative state,

00:15:31.680 the executive agencies, the places where our laws are actually made and our government actually works,

00:15:37.180 they still were basically running the show.

00:15:39.200 And Trump would throw a wrench into the gears every so often, but they still had almost all of the power.

00:15:45.000 So yes, Joe Biden's head is made of pudding at this point.

00:15:47.620 He doesn't know which end is up.

00:15:48.740 He doesn't know what day it is, sure, but it doesn't really matter because it doesn't seem like he's the one who's really running the government.

00:15:55.200 I don't think he's writing the speeches.

00:15:56.880 I don't think he's thinking about the policies all that much.

00:16:00.360 And I don't think that he's the one actually putting them into effect.

00:16:03.540 And I'm not saying that there's some small oligarchic cabal of reptile monsters somewhere in a layer underground that's really calling the shots.

00:16:10.980 It's even more depressing than that.

00:16:12.380 The way our government is run is kind of just by this blob.

00:16:17.320 It doesn't seem like anyone is really in charge.

00:16:20.940 It's just this alphabet agency does this and that alphabet agency does that.

00:16:25.460 And then the corporations push the propaganda lines of the administration and the university is on board with that as well.

00:16:33.100 And the media are pushing their line in there.

00:16:35.060 It's all working in concert, but you can't quite put your finger on it.

00:16:38.340 It's just the blob.

00:16:39.740 It's just the liberal establishment.

00:16:41.520 It's the scariest part of all because if Joe Biden were running the government, I'd say, great, impeach him, and then we can get rid of him, and then we can do something, and we can take control.

00:16:49.480 Then we can win back the House in 2022, and then we can win the presidency in 2024.

00:16:53.900 But it's much harder than that.

00:16:55.620 How do you impeach Disney?

00:16:57.240 How do you impeach Google?

00:16:58.920 How do you impeach the FDA?

00:17:02.500 How do you?

00:17:02.860 You can't.

00:17:03.700 And it's all.

00:17:04.700 How do you impeach Yale?

00:17:06.180 It's just all working in concert.

00:17:08.960 And that's the real constitution, right?

00:17:11.120 That's the real lowercase c constitution that runs our country.

00:17:15.240 Yes, would I like to get rid of Biden?

00:17:17.200 Sure. 0.56

00:17:17.540 He is a bad president. 0.99

00:17:19.300 He is the worst president of my lifetime. 0.90

00:17:21.360 But that won't even come close to solving the problem.

00:17:23.940 Frankly, it'll probably make the problem worse because we're going to get the one person in America who's got a lower approval rating than Joe Biden.

00:17:29.980 And that would be Kamala Harris. 0.93

00:17:31.800 Kamala Harris was just asked about the Biden policy suggestion that we need regime change in Russia.

00:17:40.100 Remember, Biden went off script.

00:17:41.700 He said, we've got to kick Putin out of power.

00:17:44.500 And then the blob went into its effect and said, no, he didn't really mean that. 0.97

00:17:47.980 And then Biden, because he doesn't believe a damn thing, said, no, yeah, you're right. 0.85

00:17:50.740 I didn't really mean that. 0.97

00:17:52.460 But he still called for regime change in Russia.

00:17:55.000 Now, Kamala was asked about this, and her answer was indecipherable.

00:17:59.600 He said that Vladimir Putin should no longer be the leader of Russia.

00:18:05.060 Do you agree?

00:18:06.720 Listen, I think that you framed the point quite accurately and well, which is America's policy has been and will continue to be focused on the real issue at hand,

00:18:20.640 which is one, the needs of the Ukrainian people, which we will continue to support through humanitarian assistance, through security assistance,

00:18:29.740 but also ensuring that there's going to be serious consequence for Vladimir Putin and Russian aggression as it relates to Ukraine,

00:18:38.320 which is why our policy from the beginning has been about ensuring that there are going to be real costs exacted against Russia in the form of severe sanctions,

00:18:49.580 which we know are having a real impact and an immediate impact, not to mention the longer term impact,

00:18:56.900 which is about saying there's going to be consequence and accountability.

00:19:00.820 Did anyone listening find an answer to the straightforward yes or no question anywhere in that word salad?

00:19:10.460 Because I did not.

00:19:11.420 You know, I try to keep a bong under my desk to make it easier to decipher what Kamala Harris has to say.

00:19:16.760 I thought I could make it without a hit of that Haitian oregano this time, and I could not. 0.97

00:19:22.440 And I doubt I could understand what she meant, even if I had ripped some of that Peruvian parsley, because it doesn't mean anything.

00:19:30.520 She was just filibustering. 1.00

00:19:32.220 This is another problem with the empty suit politicians who just want to be something.

00:19:38.860 They don't have a clear policy.

00:19:41.620 Forget that she's got a flack for Joe Biden.

00:19:43.560 She doesn't have a clear policy view herself. 0.93

00:19:45.980 And so she just fills up time. 0.83

00:19:47.640 It's like when you're in school and you're assigned a five-page paper.

00:19:52.040 You've got to write a five-page paper on some topic.

00:19:55.580 If you are really engaged in the class, you're going to think, gosh, it's going to be hard not to write six or seven pages,

00:20:03.100 because I know exactly what I want to say.

00:20:05.360 How am I going to trim it down so I can fit my thesis into just five pages?

00:20:10.080 And if you're just kind of going along and you have to take the class and you're not that interested in it,

00:20:14.480 but you want to get a good grade and go to, I don't know, a good college or a good graduate school,

00:20:18.080 then you think, okay, how am I going to fill up all those words?

00:20:23.480 The conviction people think, how can I perfectly, precisely say exactly what I want to persuade people?

00:20:31.800 And the empty suit politicians think, how do I fill up my word count?

00:20:34.860 Well, that's Kamala Harris. 1.00

00:20:36.520 She's like Joe Biden, except somehow less impressive.

00:20:40.780 Isn't that amazing?

00:20:41.220 At least Joe Biden's lasted in Washington a long time.

00:20:44.480 Kamala Harris has been around for exactly five minutes.

00:20:46.840 She's extremely unpopular.

00:20:48.400 She has been able to work the levers of power behind the scenes to some degree.

00:20:53.240 But I do not want to impeach Joe Biden.

00:20:55.720 I do not want to remove him with the 25th Amendment.

00:20:57.600 I do not want that woman in charge. 1.00

00:20:58.920 And frankly, whoever's technically running the show, 0.99

00:21:01.380 the liberal blob is going to keep governing in the same crappy way. 0.53

00:21:05.700 Kamala's answer here, not particularly excellent.

00:21:10.080 There is an award for excellence that is going around.

00:21:12.440 There are all sorts of awards for excellence in our schools, in college, high school, middle

00:21:19.000 school, and elementary school.

00:21:20.160 You remember that.

00:21:20.780 But now the awards are changing a little bit.

00:21:22.740 There's an award at a Minnesota middle school, and this is not the only school that's doing

00:21:27.180 this, that offers an award for black excellence.

00:21:30.840 So I would not be eligible for this, even though I am somewhat swarthy.

00:21:35.720 I don't think I quite make it far enough down the line on the swatches to count for black 0.98

00:21:41.060 excellence.

00:21:41.840 So you're excluding most of the school.

00:21:44.560 If it's Minnesota, you're definitely excluding most of the school because it's a pretty white 1.00

00:21:48.000 state.

00:21:49.840 The libs of TikTok posted this picture and said, this is extremely racist.

00:21:53.980 And it's true. 0.56

00:21:54.460 I get why this award is offensive to white people because you're saying you're not even

00:21:58.820 eligible for this award.

00:21:59.940 So that is offensive in a way. 0.99

00:22:01.320 But it strikes me that this award is much more offensive to black people. 0.63

00:22:04.980 The award is for positive school attendance, reading academic growth on the fast test, extracurricular 0.74

00:22:14.860 participation, really basic stuff.

00:22:16.740 And the premise of this award is that it is unusual and noteworthy when black students

00:22:24.040 do something that is excellent.

00:22:26.340 The premise of this award is, hey, good job, black student.

00:22:30.000 You've done the stuff that we expect of every other student. 0.64

00:22:32.940 That strikes me as pretty offensive, much more offensive to black people than it would 0.96

00:22:37.560 be toward white people. 0.88

00:22:40.820 But that is what the left is saying.

00:22:42.760 You're seeing this argued everywhere, not just at the level of schools, but at the level

00:22:47.420 of government and the law as well.

00:22:48.860 Rashida Tlaib, the George Harrison of the squad, has just come out and said that drug laws,

00:22:54.980 anti-drug laws are an intentionally anti-black political project.

00:23:02.140 The war on drugs was designed as a project to target our black and brown communities. 0.76

00:23:08.000 And the obvious racial disparities in enforcement show us that it still is, at its core, an effort

00:23:14.200 targeting communities of color through over-policing, criminalization, and mass incarceration.

00:23:19.800 The Moore Act will increase access to federal benefits and establish a fund to redirect resources

00:23:24.580 into communities harmed by the war on drugs.

00:23:27.880 This is a good start on the road to repairing the damage, but we still have work to do.

00:23:32.320 We must be bold.

00:23:34.740 Our goal must be to end countries militarized, quote, jail first, ask questions later, approach

00:23:41.080 to addiction, and to stop trying to solve social problems with Moore criminalization.

00:23:46.260 I strongly encourage my colleagues to support the Moore Act.

00:23:49.720 This is a common sense bill.

00:23:51.520 On the one hand, this is offensive to white people because, like a lot of these racial identity 1.00

00:23:57.420 politics campaigns being pushed by the left, they're saying that non-white people should 0.99

00:24:02.540 get special treatment and should be given particular consideration, and white people 0.94

00:24:07.220 should not be given special treatment or given special consideration. 0.83

00:24:11.220 But on the other hand, it seems much more offensive to black people to say, look, when we implemented 0.98

00:24:16.900 anti-drug laws, that was clearly a campaign against black and brown people because blacks can't 1.00

00:24:23.080 help but do drugs. 0.97

00:24:24.200 What, are you gonna tell black people not to do illegal drugs? 0.99

00:24:26.500 It's impossible. 0.99

00:24:27.460 They need them.

00:24:28.040 They love them.

00:24:28.500 They can't resist.

00:24:29.380 They have no will of their own.

00:24:30.760 That's what Rashida Salib is saying strikes me as much more offensive, what has been called

00:24:35.260 the soft bigotry of low expectations.

00:24:38.260 And so it's harmful for everybody.

00:24:40.160 It's harmful for white people to have laws and a political culture in which white people 0.99

00:24:45.020 are the only people that can be disadvantaged or discriminated against or insulted. 0.89

00:24:48.840 That is actually bad for white people. 0.57

00:24:50.640 But it's bad for everybody to so reduce the expectations of other racial groups, in particular

00:24:57.520 black people, to say, of course you can't help but do crack. 1.00

00:25:00.300 So we're gonna let you do that on the street. 0.99

00:25:01.920 We're gonna let you do crack on the street and do lots of drugs and commit lots of crimes. 0.86

00:25:06.900 And we're gonna give you the special, wonderful consideration to do that without getting arrested

00:25:12.320 because of the color of your skin. 0.93

00:25:13.860 We're gonna let you live in squalor and destroy your life because of the color of your skin. 1.00

00:25:19.660 Doesn't seem particularly generous or charitable or just to me.

00:25:26.220 We're living in a time of crazy political chaos, which is why you want to put your assets in something tangible.

00:25:32.800 That's why you got to check out Birch Gold.

00:25:35.140 Text Knowles right now.

00:25:36.600 Do not wait to 989898. 0.99

00:25:39.680 When inflation is at 7%, like it is now, thanks to Joe Biden's stupid economic policies, 0.96

00:25:44.980 that paper money in your wallet is losing value fast. 0.98

00:25:48.560 And Russia's full-on invasion of Ukraine has worsened the market's decline.

00:25:53.860 Today, an ounce of gold is worth 1,900 bucks.

00:25:56.780 It was worth about 300 bucks an ounce in 2000.

00:26:00.820 I've been telling you for years that you can buy gold from Birch Gold.

00:26:04.260 It is a great hedge against inflation.

00:26:06.280 Well, did you know there's another way to hedge against inflation?

00:26:08.640 That is silver, silver and gold, silver and gold.

00:26:12.480 Silver is also considered real money.

00:26:14.500 Historically speaking, it's extremely undervalued right now.

00:26:17.820 It's an industrial metal that is in high demand for everything from electric cars to solar panels.

00:26:23.400 Demand is only going to rise.

00:26:24.980 Some analysts think there is an unusual dislocation in price that may present real opportunities

00:26:30.160 for silver to rally over the next two years.

00:26:32.620 It's never gonna be worth zero.

00:26:34.280 Right now, you can buy gold or silver, put it into a tax-sheltered account.

00:26:37.660 If you want your free info kit on how to do it, text Knowles, K-N-W-L-E-S, to 989898.

00:26:47.880 You may have heard about the leaked Disney LGBT agenda last week.

00:26:52.880 You may have heard about it on this show where we talked about it a lot.

00:26:55.260 Well, the god king of the Daily Wire, Jeremy Boring, announced a $100 million investment into DW Kids.

00:27:04.740 We are putting out kids content because you can't take your kids to Disney parks anymore.

00:27:11.360 You can't show your kids Disney content anymore because the Disney executives have said that they're gonna push radical

00:27:17.080 transgenderism, radical sexual ideologies in their content.

00:27:20.860 We've already hired the VeggieTales writers to help create our first two children's shows.

00:27:25.200 Chilla Time, about a family of homeschooled chinchillas.

00:27:28.140 Doodles with Noodles, that centers on a man and his puppet giving drawing lessons.

00:27:32.340 And because in order to change the culture, you gotta make the culture, Daily Wire is making the culture.

00:27:36.680 We need your help to do it.

00:27:43.240 We'll be right back with a lot more.

00:27:44.280 There is some good news in the racial politics front that is coming specifically out of the courts.

00:28:04.920 California, a few years ago, put forward a corporate racial diversity law.

00:28:11.180 This was signed by Gavin Newsom in just back in 2020s, only two years ago.

00:28:16.700 It required that publicly traded companies that were headquartered in California

00:28:20.900 have at least one member of their executive boards from an underrepresented community.

00:28:25.300 And the underrepresented communities include African Americans, Latinos, Asians, Native Americans,

00:28:31.560 members of the LGBT community, on and on and on.

00:28:33.700 So the underrepresented community that had to get special treatment to be represented on the board

00:28:38.540 is just anyone but white people.

00:28:41.180 That was the law. 0.57

00:28:43.100 On your boards, just add anyone who isn't a white person.

00:28:47.200 And this started with just one person.

00:28:49.580 And then by the end of 2021, after 2021, then it had to be two people.

00:28:54.520 And then it kept going up.

00:28:55.760 And it was a gradual kind of law.

00:28:58.280 A judge in LA County's Superior Court just struck this down.

00:29:03.820 The case was brought by Judicial Watch.

00:29:05.740 And the judge just struck it down.

00:29:07.900 The judge did not explain the court's ruling, but said that the rule was illegal, that you

00:29:12.860 couldn't do this sort of thing.

00:29:15.480 That's good news.

00:29:16.900 If corporations want to add members of underrepresented groups to their boards, that's a fine thing.

00:29:23.260 And that has happened naturally.

00:29:24.760 And that's fine if they want to do it.

00:29:27.740 But to rig the law, as has increasingly been done, to create a caste system based on race,

00:29:35.280 to make up for some perceived wrong in the past, either real or imagined, that is a very bad idea.

00:29:43.520 And it will not make any of the racial problems in America or any of our broader political problems better.

00:29:48.480 It will only make them worse.

00:29:50.240 That was good news.

00:29:50.820 Even better news coming out of a court in Ohio.

00:29:54.800 An appellate court just upheld a decision to award Gibson's Bakery millions and millions of dollars

00:30:01.400 after Oberlin College smeared them as racist.

00:30:05.120 I wrote about this story in my book, Speechless, Controlling Words, Controlling Minds.

00:30:09.700 Hasn't gotten a ton of play.

00:30:11.160 But there was a little bakery near the Oberlin campus.

00:30:14.320 It's called Gibson's Bakery.

00:30:15.860 Sold baked goods and some other things.

00:30:17.520 You know, it's old kind of little groceries and it's old liquor.

00:30:21.020 There was a group of black students who went into the Gibson's Bakery and in their telling of the story,

00:30:30.620 were followed around and discriminated against and asked to leave because of the color of their skin. 0.91

00:30:37.080 White supremacy, alive and well in Ohio, anti-black discrimination.

00:30:42.640 The school ran with this story. 0.95

00:30:44.700 Oberlin ran with this story.

00:30:47.260 Encouraged protests.

00:30:48.540 Encouraged boycotts.

00:30:49.700 Destroyed this business.

00:30:52.760 But the business did not discriminate against these kids based on their race.

00:30:57.200 The students were trying to steal liquor.

00:31:00.480 That's what, the business, which followed them around and then accused,

00:31:04.540 and then kicked them out of the store for trying to steal liquor.

00:31:06.440 The business was totally right.

00:31:07.640 And the kids played the race card and accused the bakery owners of racism,

00:31:13.720 which is the worst thing you can be accused of in modern America.

00:31:16.200 And then the school, using the huge weight of the school, destroyed this business.

00:31:20.540 And the owners of this business have since died.

00:31:22.660 They brought a lawsuit, but they've since died.

00:31:24.700 It ruined their lives.

00:31:25.960 It ruined their livelihood and their business.

00:31:28.540 And now this appeals court has upheld a $25 million verdict against Oberlin.

00:31:34.200 Good.

00:31:34.820 I love it.

00:31:35.580 The only way that you are going to change this hideous culture of racial grievance 0.78

00:31:42.320 is to make the elites pay. 0.82

00:31:46.180 And it's not just making the government pay.

00:31:48.160 And it's not just making the politicians pay.

00:31:50.060 It's not even just making the corporations pay.

00:31:51.780 It's making the universities pay.

00:31:53.160 It's making the press pay. 0.78

00:31:54.560 It's making the establishment media pay.

00:31:56.200 It's all of those dispersed, decentralized power centers

00:32:00.200 that allow the left to run the entire country.

00:32:03.020 They've all got to pay.

00:32:06.040 Ideally, millions and millions of dollars,

00:32:08.380 as we're seeing in this verdict out of Ohio.

00:32:11.240 Really great news.

00:32:13.460 They are not going to let up on their own.

00:32:15.300 They're actually, the liberal establishment,

00:32:17.460 is getting much more ambitious and much more aggressive.

00:32:20.780 There's a nurse at a school, middle school, in Connecticut,

00:32:25.020 who was just suspended after she revealed that one of her 11-year-old students

00:32:30.940 was being put on puberty blockers against the parents' will.

00:32:37.600 She said there was an 11-year-old student on puberty blockers

00:32:41.640 and that other students identified as non-binary,

00:32:45.120 so neither male nor female, without their parents being informed.

00:32:48.900 This woman's name is Kathleen Cataford, 77 years old,

00:32:51.240 was suspended from the Hartford Public Schools after exposing this.

00:32:54.820 Her exact words.

00:32:56.460 As a public school nurse,

00:32:57.540 I have an 11-year-old female student on puberty blockers, 0.94

00:32:59.980 a dozen identifying as non-binary,

00:33:02.320 all but two keeping this as a secret from their parents

00:33:04.600 with the help of teachers, social workers, and the school administration.

00:33:09.060 Teachers and social workers are spending 37 and a half hours a week

00:33:12.460 influencing our children,

00:33:13.900 not necessarily teaching our children what you think is being taught.

00:33:18.160 She went on to say children are introduced to this confusion in kindergarten

00:33:22.320 by the school social worker who teaches,

00:33:25.340 teaches, quote unquote,

00:33:26.580 social and emotional regulation and school expectations.

00:33:31.060 That's happening in the Hartford Public Schools.

00:33:33.480 Are you a resident of Hartford?

00:33:35.220 Are you a taxpayer in Hartford or in Connecticut?

00:33:37.520 You should probably call up your school board.

00:33:39.120 You should probably call up your members of Congress,

00:33:41.440 your state representatives, and your governor, 0.99

00:33:43.200 and say that you don't want this crap in their schools. 0.99

00:33:45.680 If it's possible to bring suit, 0.98

00:33:48.460 if you're a parent, for instance, in this district,

00:33:50.340 and it's possible to bring a lawsuit against the school district,

00:33:52.820 you most certainly should.

00:33:54.000 You should probably name specific administrators,

00:33:56.140 the principal, the superintendent. 0.99

00:33:58.260 You need to hit them where it hurts, 0.98

00:34:01.260 which is the purse, which is the budget, 0.99

00:34:03.360 which is the money, which is their power.

00:34:05.500 That's where you've got to hit them.

00:34:07.220 This woman deserves an award. 1.00

00:34:08.760 Kathleen Catterford,

00:34:09.800 give her the Michael Knowles Show Award

00:34:11.900 for professional courage.

00:34:14.320 So often, people write into the show,

00:34:16.480 they say,

00:34:16.800 Michael, how do I speak up at my office

00:34:18.700 without suffering any repercussions?

00:34:20.940 Michael, how do I speak up in the classroom

00:34:22.800 without getting a worse grade?

00:34:25.020 You can.

00:34:25.940 Everything in this life has costs,

00:34:27.840 and this woman is standing up for what is right.

00:34:31.200 In an example of something that is so clearly right,

00:34:33.680 preventing little kids from being sexually mutilated 1.00

00:34:36.360 by perverts and idiots and radicals 1.00

00:34:38.980 in their elementary and middle schools, 1.00

00:34:40.840 she's standing up for something that's totally right,

00:34:42.760 and she's going to suffer professional consequences. 0.61

00:34:45.020 She's already been suspended.

00:34:46.120 She's probably going to be fired. 1.00

00:34:47.380 Doesn't matter.

00:34:48.020 She's stood up for what's right.

00:34:49.860 I'm not saying you've got to go out there

00:34:51.060 and destroy your job. 0.65

00:34:52.640 You need to be wise as a serpent

00:34:54.080 and innocent as a dove,

00:34:55.360 but we've got to push back.

00:34:57.180 The vast majority of Americans

00:34:58.700 don't think that 11-year-olds

00:35:00.100 should be transed against their parents' will. 1.00

00:35:02.180 Okay?

00:35:02.440 The vast majority,

00:35:03.040 the majority of Democrats

00:35:03.960 don't think that that should happen.

00:35:05.500 But the sickos who are in power right now, 1.00

00:35:09.560 the corrupt, stupid people 1.00

00:35:13.180 who are in, 1.00

00:35:13.980 the really subpar people

00:35:15.720 who are running the show right now,

00:35:17.840 all do believe that.

00:35:19.440 And we still have some political power in this country,

00:35:21.800 and we've got to say,

00:35:23.340 no, look at what's happening in Florida.

00:35:24.760 Florida passes a law.

00:35:25.660 They say you can't trans the kindergartners,

00:35:27.360 and everyone's up in arms.

00:35:28.920 There's an article that just came out on NBC News.

00:35:32.100 It says, I cannot teach in Florida.

00:35:35.760 LGBTQ educators fear fallout from new school law.

00:35:42.000 Following the enactment of what critics call

00:35:43.500 the don't-say-gay law,

00:35:44.660 some LGBTQ teachers have quit the profession altogether.

00:35:49.760 Great.

00:35:50.980 That sounds like,

00:35:52.140 is that a problem or is that a solution?

00:35:53.900 That seems to me kind of more like a solution.

00:35:55.860 Because by the way,

00:35:56.380 when they say LGBTQ educators,

00:35:58.520 they're not talking about the man

00:36:00.580 who maybe he has divergent sexual desires

00:36:05.280 or even behavior,

00:36:06.180 but he just keeps it quiet.

00:36:07.500 He doesn't bring it into the classroom.

00:36:09.040 He doesn't have a rainbow flag in his classroom.

00:36:11.100 He just,

00:36:11.780 he keeps his private life actually out of the classroom,

00:36:14.240 and he teaches kids reading, writing, and arithmetic.

00:36:17.360 Or more likely, you know,

00:36:18.540 musical theater or something like that.

00:36:20.940 They're not talking about those teachers.

00:36:23.480 Those teachers wouldn't be a problem, would they?

00:36:25.900 No, teachers who aren't indoctrinating kids

00:36:28.660 into weird sex stuff, they're not the problem.

00:36:31.260 The problem for this law are the teachers

00:36:34.660 who are indoctrinating kids

00:36:36.580 into weird sex stuff of any kind.

00:36:39.620 Those are the only teachers

00:36:40.720 who are going to have an issue with the law,

00:36:41.880 and those are the teachers

00:36:42.500 who are running away from Florida,

00:36:43.840 and that's a great thing.

00:36:45.140 Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

00:36:47.380 Bye-bye.

00:36:48.400 Bye-bye.

00:36:48.780 You can't teach in Florida?

00:36:49.760 Good.

00:36:49.940 You shouldn't teach anywhere.

00:36:50.940 You should have your licenses suspended

00:36:52.700 if you're in a place that requires a teaching license.

00:36:55.040 You shouldn't be within 100 yards of children.

00:36:56.980 Good, great stuff.

00:36:58.720 Love that.

00:37:00.120 Problem, solution.

00:37:03.200 The left is really going into overdrive 0.85

00:37:05.540 on sexualizing the kids, 0.76

00:37:07.300 and they're doing this,

00:37:07.980 I don't think they're doing it 0.91

00:37:08.760 just because they're pedos or something like that.

00:37:10.700 You'll hear some more excitable conservatives say, 1.00

00:37:12.940 well, it's just because they're all pedos. 0.98

00:37:14.340 I don't think that's the case. 0.98

00:37:15.300 Maybe some of them are,

00:37:16.120 but I don't think that's actually why.

00:37:17.780 I think the reason is they realize

00:37:19.260 that sex is an extremely important drive

00:37:23.480 in human nature.

00:37:24.240 They know that education is about shaping the entire person,

00:37:28.060 and they want to create a whole generation of radicals.

00:37:31.520 So they know if we can not only shape

00:37:34.220 the way kids think about history,

00:37:36.060 shape the way kids think about literature,

00:37:38.160 but shape the way that kids think and feel

00:37:39.960 and desire sex, 0.99

00:37:41.600 why, then we've got them. 0.71

00:37:43.400 That's what this is about,

00:37:44.380 and I'm not just imagining this out of the blue.

00:37:48.440 So this is a program that has been laid out

00:37:51.940 by prominent left-wing intellectuals

00:37:53.600 for more than 100 years.

00:37:54.820 You can read about it in my book,

00:37:55.900 Speechless, Controlling Words, Controlling Minds,

00:37:57.580 which is coming out in pre-order, by the way,

00:37:59.340 or in paperback, rather, in June,

00:38:02.340 number one national bestseller.

00:38:04.120 So that's what they're pushing.

00:38:05.280 They're now pushing this not just in the classrooms,

00:38:07.260 but in the movies.

00:38:08.020 That's what the whole Daily Wire kids business is about,

00:38:10.260 is in response to not just Disney,

00:38:12.760 but corporations like Disney,

00:38:14.860 which are pushing this stuff.

00:38:16.220 Disney Pixar has just announced

00:38:19.000 that they are going to reinsert

00:38:21.780 a same-sex kiss scene

00:38:24.820 in the Buzz Lightyear movie

00:38:26.940 in response to the Florida Parental Rights

00:38:30.240 and Education Law.

00:38:31.640 They had made this movie,

00:38:33.740 Buzz Lightyear, I guess it's Toy Story 5,

00:38:36.080 and they had included, at some point,

00:38:40.280 a gay kiss scene, 0.54

00:38:41.200 and they realized, wait, 0.99

00:38:41.800 we don't need a gay kiss scene 0.99

00:38:42.960 in a movie about toys for kids.

00:38:44.660 So they took it out,

00:38:46.020 and then all of the employees at Disney

00:38:49.000 threw a big fit

00:38:50.220 because the kindergarten teachers

00:38:52.060 aren't allowed to trans the kids anymore in Florida,

00:38:54.040 and Disney didn't push back enough,

00:38:55.620 and now they've reinserted the scene.

00:38:57.660 But I don't think it goes nearly far enough.

00:38:59.760 Unless we get an extended S&M sequence

00:39:03.800 between Mr. Potato Head and the Slinky Dog,

00:39:06.740 then Pixar is simply not an ally, okay?

00:39:09.360 If you're going to do it, do it.

00:39:11.180 Or how dare you? 0.99

00:39:12.000 No lukewarm gay kisses. 1.00

00:39:13.800 We need whips and chains. 1.00

00:39:16.100 We need 50 shades of little Bo Peep in here, okay?

00:39:19.600 Otherwise, that's not nearly enough. 0.65

00:39:22.200 This is sick.

00:39:22.860 This is sick stuff

00:39:23.640 that you would intentionally

00:39:25.880 fill up a kid's movie

00:39:28.440 with radical sexual agendas.

00:39:31.720 So now, my kid can't go see Buzz Lightyear.

00:39:36.280 Frankly, not even because of one scene

00:39:38.200 of this or that,

00:39:39.200 but because we know

00:39:40.700 that there is this agenda

00:39:42.260 to radically restructure

00:39:44.520 the way that kids think about sex

00:39:46.000 because the Disney executives

00:39:47.060 admitted it on camera.

00:39:49.420 That's on one level.

00:39:51.020 And then on, frankly,

00:39:52.600 even a deeper level,

00:39:54.040 you know that the movie

00:39:54.940 is not going to be as good.

00:39:56.380 You know the movie

00:39:57.220 is not going to be as good

00:39:58.660 as the original Toy Story,

00:40:00.440 for instance,

00:40:01.040 or as lots of other movies.

00:40:02.700 The reason woke movies

00:40:03.940 are not as good as old movies

00:40:05.100 is because old movies

00:40:06.380 are dealing with

00:40:07.300 eternal questions of human nature.

00:40:09.660 Really, I don't just mean

00:40:10.660 any old movie.

00:40:11.280 I mean classic movies,

00:40:12.400 movies that have stood

00:40:12.980 the test of time

00:40:13.680 are dealing with human nature.

00:40:16.920 And woke movies

00:40:18.080 are seeking to upend human nature.

00:40:20.580 That's the woke radical program.

00:40:23.380 So classical stories

00:40:25.100 involve princes wooing princesses.

00:40:28.220 And new woke stories 0.99

00:40:29.280 involve butch, trans, lesbian princesses 1.00

00:40:33.100 who hate princes 1.00

00:40:34.420 who go out and fight ogres

00:40:38.180 or something.

00:40:38.780 Something that has nothing

00:40:39.600 to do with human nature, okay?

00:40:40.780 That's actually just a finger

00:40:42.240 in the eye

00:40:42.780 of our traditional experience

00:40:44.460 of the world.

00:40:46.480 People are noticing

00:40:47.360 that we're pushing back on this.

00:40:49.100 How is Daily Wire,

00:40:50.020 which is a big company,

00:40:50.880 we're a hundred million dollar company

00:40:52.040 or a little more than that now.

00:40:53.800 How are we going to push back

00:40:54.840 against companies

00:40:56.260 that are worth

00:40:56.620 hundreds of billions of dollars?

00:40:58.220 Well, because those companies

00:40:59.640 that are worth

00:41:00.020 hundreds of billions of dollars

00:41:01.040 are telling half of America

00:41:02.300 to pound sand.

00:41:04.000 And the Daily Wire

00:41:04.680 is willing to invest

00:41:05.680 enough money

00:41:06.500 to make good,

00:41:08.500 high quality content.

00:41:11.320 And that means that

00:41:12.760 you've got hundreds of billions

00:41:14.400 of dollars worth

00:41:15.080 of lots and lots

00:41:15.940 and lots of companies.

00:41:16.660 It's not just Disney, right?

00:41:17.600 It's Disney,

00:41:18.660 it's all the other

00:41:19.340 five or six Hollywood studios,

00:41:21.020 it's all the other

00:41:21.800 much smaller independent studios,

00:41:23.840 it's all of the TV networks

00:41:26.800 and the Netflix

00:41:27.340 and the Amazon

00:41:28.100 and all of it together

00:41:29.160 is splitting up

00:41:30.340 now less than half

00:41:31.460 of the country

00:41:32.060 which supports this stuff.

00:41:34.620 And then Daily Wire

00:41:35.720 has got this open runway

00:41:36.820 to provide just normal,

00:41:39.680 good content

00:41:40.280 that's not pedantic,

00:41:41.840 that's not didactic,

00:41:42.720 it's just offering

00:41:43.340 normal stuff

00:41:44.300 to people

00:41:44.960 who don't want their kids

00:41:45.980 to be trans

00:41:46.540 when they're four years old.

00:41:48.440 That is a great opportunity

00:41:49.960 and conservatives

00:41:50.600 need to seize it.

00:41:52.200 And I'm so thrilled

00:41:53.020 that the Daily Wire

00:41:54.000 is seizing it

00:41:54.840 and the left

00:41:56.060 is noticing.

00:41:56.980 For a long time,

00:41:59.380 the libs just ignored

00:42:00.460 what we were doing over here.

00:42:02.800 Not so much anymore.

00:42:05.980 The Daily Wire

00:42:06.700 has made it.

00:42:07.960 We have made it

00:42:09.120 because we were

00:42:09.920 the butt of a joke

00:42:10.680 on Saturday Night Live

00:42:12.520 on Saturday.

00:42:13.820 The conservative media organization

00:42:15.680 The Daily Wire

00:42:16.560 said they'll spend

00:42:17.320 $100 million

00:42:18.180 to create children's programming

00:42:20.060 to counter woke

00:42:21.320 media companies.

00:42:22.740 Programs will include

00:42:23.760 Clifford the Big Straight Dog

00:42:25.400 in canto

00:42:27.340 but in English

00:42:28.180 and one fish,

00:42:31.480 two fish,

00:42:32.020 that's how many

00:42:32.560 fish genders there are.

00:42:36.020 The reason I say

00:42:37.420 that Daily Wire

00:42:38.220 has made it

00:42:39.060 after this joke

00:42:40.140 on SNL

00:42:40.640 is not because

00:42:41.260 we are seeking

00:42:43.020 the approval

00:42:43.500 of Saturday Night Live.

00:42:44.640 Obviously,

00:42:45.120 we're not seeking

00:42:45.920 the approval

00:42:46.280 of Saturday Night Live

00:42:47.040 and we're not getting it.

00:42:48.180 They're making a joke

00:42:48.960 about us.

00:42:51.260 But the jokes

00:42:52.280 that they made

00:42:52.940 about us

00:42:53.620 were not

00:42:54.740 they were not

00:42:55.780 exactly

00:42:56.220 mean-spirited jokes.

00:42:57.800 They were jokes

00:42:58.320 about the actual controversy.

00:43:00.080 They were jokes

00:43:00.620 about the content

00:43:01.800 and the people

00:43:02.780 were laughing.

00:43:04.200 One fish,

00:43:04.880 two fish,

00:43:05.560 that's how many

00:43:06.000 fish genders there are.

00:43:07.840 The vast majority

00:43:09.080 of people

00:43:09.600 know that there

00:43:10.640 are only two genders.

00:43:12.860 The joke

00:43:13.420 is that.

00:43:15.320 In many ways,

00:43:16.860 that joke

00:43:17.520 is a joke

00:43:18.080 about the woke

00:43:19.320 companies

00:43:20.060 that have gone too far.

00:43:21.240 Yes,

00:43:21.640 they're dinging us

00:43:22.560 but it's really

00:43:24.780 about,

00:43:26.040 frankly,

00:43:26.400 I think the deeper issue,

00:43:27.380 especially on that

00:43:27.840 final punchline,

00:43:29.060 is that the woke

00:43:29.600 companies have

00:43:30.160 obviously gone too far

00:43:31.180 and there's a huge

00:43:32.360 pushback against this

00:43:33.300 from the majority

00:43:33.980 of Americans.

00:43:34.960 There's a line

00:43:35.640 that's wrongly

00:43:36.560 attributed to Gandhi

00:43:37.520 but Gandhi

00:43:38.980 didn't say it.

00:43:40.420 I think it was

00:43:40.780 actually a union

00:43:41.580 worker who said it

00:43:42.560 back in the early

00:43:43.140 20th century.

00:43:44.400 Yes,

00:43:44.640 it is actually.

00:43:45.160 Nicholas Klein,

00:43:45.900 a trade union activist,

00:43:46.920 said in 1918,

00:43:48.060 first they ignore you,

00:43:49.820 then they ridicule you,

00:43:51.440 then they attack you 0.99

00:43:52.300 and want to burn you 0.95

00:43:53.040 and then they build 0.98

00:43:53.880 monuments to you.

00:43:55.680 And he said this

00:43:56.560 to the Amalgamated

00:43:58.480 Clothing Workers

00:43:59.100 of America Convention.

00:44:00.440 You hear politicians

00:44:01.360 on both sides of the aisle

00:44:02.240 use it.

00:44:03.960 For a long time,

00:44:05.120 the Libs just ignored

00:44:06.160 what we conservatives

00:44:08.040 were doing in the culture.

00:44:10.440 And Daily Wire

00:44:11.620 has definitely taken

00:44:12.760 a leading role in this

00:44:13.440 but there are other groups

00:44:14.560 that have done this as well.

00:44:16.200 And the Libs ignored it.

00:44:18.860 Now we've moved on

00:44:19.720 to the next stage.

00:44:21.040 Which is,

00:44:22.420 they're mocking it.

00:44:24.300 They're mocking it

00:44:25.260 because they can't

00:44:26.100 ignore it anymore.

00:44:27.520 And they can't

00:44:28.120 ignore it anymore

00:44:28.740 because the blob,

00:44:31.460 those liberal institutions

00:44:32.880 of power

00:44:33.420 that govern us

00:44:34.460 from Hollywood,

00:44:35.360 from the classrooms,

00:44:36.800 from all over the place,

00:44:37.540 from big tech,

00:44:38.660 they have lost

00:44:40.080 the common sense.

00:44:41.880 I mention this

00:44:42.720 also in my book

00:44:43.320 Speechless.

00:44:44.700 One of the really

00:44:45.440 genius intellectual

00:44:47.100 figures on the left,

00:44:49.100 a man named

00:44:49.420 Antonio Gramsci,

00:44:50.360 said the reason

00:44:51.260 that left-wing,

00:44:52.600 specifically Marxist

00:44:53.720 revolutions,

00:44:54.240 weren't working

00:44:54.820 is because

00:44:56.440 in order for a revolution

00:44:58.300 to work,

00:44:58.700 you need to have

00:44:58.980 the common sense.

00:45:00.980 The reason

00:45:01.460 communist revolutions

00:45:02.480 didn't work very well

00:45:03.600 in the 19th century

00:45:04.460 is because

00:45:05.480 the proletariat

00:45:06.640 didn't want to be

00:45:07.360 freed from their chains.

00:45:08.500 The workers of the world

00:45:09.260 didn't want to come together

00:45:10.620 and unite

00:45:11.040 and overthrow

00:45:11.780 all of their traditions.

00:45:12.640 They actually liked

00:45:13.060 their traditions.

00:45:13.640 They liked their customs.

00:45:14.900 They liked all those things

00:45:15.780 much more than they liked

00:45:16.640 the kooky theories of the left.

00:45:18.700 And so Gramsci said,

00:45:19.500 no, you've got to

00:45:20.100 get into the culture.

00:45:21.700 You've got to conquer

00:45:22.740 the culture.

00:45:23.280 You've got to grab a hold

00:45:24.400 of the common sense,

00:45:25.700 which they did for a while.

00:45:26.980 And the left did a pretty good job

00:45:28.340 of making conservatives

00:45:29.580 seem super-duper fringy.

00:45:31.900 No more.

00:45:33.160 No more.

00:45:34.620 Florida is the perfect example 0.90

00:45:36.120 of this.

00:45:36.920 Terry McAuliffe running in Virginia

00:45:38.240 is the perfect example of this.

00:45:40.420 He tried a lot.

00:45:41.080 Terry McAuliffe in Virginia,

00:45:42.080 or not Terry McAuliffe,

00:45:42.940 Glenn Youngkin, rather,

00:45:43.720 who beat Terry McAuliffe.

00:45:44.860 Glenn Youngkin tried a lot

00:45:46.620 of different themes

00:45:47.200 for his campaign.

00:45:47.980 We're going to cut taxes.

00:45:48.880 We're going to deregulate.

00:45:49.780 None of that was working.

00:45:51.120 And then he said,

00:45:51.500 hey, we're not going to

00:45:52.020 trans your kids in school.

00:45:53.520 Boom, he wins,

00:45:54.380 even in a blue state.

00:45:56.140 Ron DeSantis.

00:45:57.080 The libs have tried everything

00:45:58.120 to make that guy

00:45:59.320 seem like a radical,

00:46:00.340 to make him seem

00:46:00.820 like a fringe figure.

00:46:01.900 They just expressly lied

00:46:04.160 about the law in Florida.

00:46:05.680 They called it

00:46:05.960 the Don't Say Gay Bill.

00:46:07.160 They pushed that

00:46:08.000 through all of their media organs.

00:46:09.800 Still didn't work.

00:46:10.540 The majority of Americans

00:46:11.360 still support the bill.

00:46:13.000 Well, it's the way

00:46:16.500 to understand transgenderism.

00:46:18.460 I made this argument

00:46:19.180 during my speech

00:46:19.820 at Washburn,

00:46:20.760 which if you missed it,

00:46:21.920 it was really wonderful

00:46:23.140 to be at Washburn University.

00:46:24.700 We had a capacity room.

00:46:25.680 They actually added

00:46:26.240 50 more chairs to the room

00:46:27.520 just to try to squeeze people in.

00:46:29.360 But there were 200 people

00:46:30.640 who were turned away

00:46:31.260 at the door.

00:46:31.660 It was a really,

00:46:32.220 really great event.

00:46:34.160 The thesis of my speech

00:46:35.440 was that transgenderism

00:46:36.420 needs to be rejected entirely,

00:46:38.100 and that it doesn't make

00:46:38.920 any sense on the biological level,

00:46:40.520 on the psychological level,

00:46:41.880 and on the theological level.

00:46:43.340 That transgenderism 1.00

00:46:44.340 is actually a religious movement

00:46:45.780 that draws on themes

00:46:47.520 of Gnostic dualism.

00:46:49.220 And I laid out

00:46:50.520 my argument for that.

00:46:51.700 And the libs will tell you, 1.00

00:46:52.660 you're crazy, 1.00

00:46:53.380 you're insane, 1.00

00:46:54.220 it's not a religious movement 0.99

00:46:55.800 at all.

00:46:57.520 Transgenderism, 0.70

00:46:58.140 it's not religious,

00:46:59.360 it's purely biological.

00:47:00.800 And then they post videos

00:47:01.780 like this.

00:47:03.020 Hi everyone.

00:47:04.620 I just wanted to get on here

00:47:06.300 to say happy Visibility Day

00:47:09.360 to my trans, queer,

00:47:11.180 and non-binary family.

00:47:14.360 I feel so honored

00:47:16.000 to be able to celebrate this day.

00:47:18.120 My name's Lavender Lou.

00:47:20.920 In my mid-20s,

00:47:23.040 I am currently,

00:47:24.340 you know,

00:47:25.220 posted up in some stolen

00:47:26.400 Moldova lands.

00:47:27.980 I identify as Two-Spirit

00:47:30.560 and have my relationship

00:47:31.920 with my Divine Masculine

00:47:34.060 and my Divine Feminine

00:47:35.360 are very omnipresent

00:47:36.800 every single day.

00:47:38.020 I have very much

00:47:39.480 an embodiment

00:47:40.140 of male and female energy 0.99

00:47:43.220 that doesn't sway.

00:47:45.960 To all my other trans family,

00:47:48.980 I want you to know

00:47:49.880 that I see you,

00:47:51.440 that I love you,

00:47:52.940 that this universe

00:47:53.920 is undergoing

00:47:55.080 an immense reconstruction

00:47:56.920 right now,

00:47:57.860 but that we've got this.

00:47:59.800 So take that, Christians. 0.99

00:48:01.480 Take that, you Bible thumpers. 1.00

00:48:03.460 Get your religion 0.77

00:48:04.300 out of my scientific 0.61

00:48:05.940 trans-genderism movement

00:48:07.400 in which I am a Two-Spirit

00:48:09.400 with my Divine Masculine

00:48:11.900 and my Divine Feminine energy

00:48:14.200 because the energy, man,

00:48:15.900 the energy's moving

00:48:16.680 in the universe.

00:48:17.640 This is the dawning

00:48:18.720 of the age of Aquarius

00:48:20.580 because that's science, right?

00:48:22.100 You saw that.

00:48:22.620 Did you see the Two-Spirit

00:48:23.400 under the microscope?

00:48:24.960 Did you see the Divine Masculine

00:48:27.900 through the telescope?

00:48:28.600 No, probably you didn't.

00:48:31.780 It's obviously a religious movement.

00:48:34.980 This is where conservatives

00:48:35.900 go a little wrong too

00:48:36.820 because we use this phrase,

00:48:38.580 biological male.

00:48:40.340 Practically, people do it

00:48:41.360 because if we don't bend the knee

00:48:43.020 in any way to transgenderism,

00:48:44.380 the libs can just completely

00:48:45.340 kick us out of the public square,

00:48:46.900 shut down, 0.68

00:48:47.340 for all intents and purposes,

00:48:48.160 shut down conservative outlets,

00:48:49.520 kick us off of social media.

00:48:51.000 Tactically, I get why

00:48:51.860 sometimes people use it, 0.99

00:48:53.020 but it's dumb. 0.98

00:48:53.740 It's not going to work. 0.99

00:48:54.620 It concedes the premise

00:48:55.640 of transgenderism

00:48:56.540 that you can be biologically male

00:48:58.240 but psychologically female

00:48:59.820 or something like that.

00:49:00.980 Moreover, when we try to argue

00:49:02.380 against transgenderism 1.00

00:49:03.500 from the perspective of science,

00:49:04.880 we completely lose the argument

00:49:06.300 because it is not in any way

00:49:07.720 a scientific movement.

00:49:08.700 It's a movement about

00:49:09.680 the relationship of the soul

00:49:11.080 to the body,

00:49:11.880 about two spirits

00:49:12.820 and Divine Masculine.

00:49:14.020 You know what I'm talking about, man?

00:49:15.820 So good.

00:49:16.500 Apply the rigor of theology to it.

00:49:18.340 Theology is faith-seeking understanding.

00:49:20.340 Theology isn't some

00:49:21.260 made-up fantastical nonsense.

00:49:23.340 Quite the opposite, actually.

00:49:24.600 Theology takes

00:49:25.400 made-up fantastical nonsense

00:49:27.180 and applies logic

00:49:28.520 and applies rigor to it

00:49:29.840 and says, okay,

00:49:30.660 if we're thinking,

00:49:31.380 just as in science,

00:49:32.820 there are lots of superstitions

00:49:34.000 in science,

00:49:34.700 and then you apply

00:49:35.400 rigorous examination

00:49:36.600 to discard the superstitions

00:49:38.840 about the physical world

00:49:39.940 and figure out

00:49:40.640 what's really going on,

00:49:41.660 so too that's what theology

00:49:42.740 does to the metaphysical world.

00:49:44.240 And if you don't,

00:49:44.940 if you're not willing

00:49:45.540 to use that express

00:49:46.920 kind of language,

00:49:47.780 then you're going to end up

00:49:48.640 in the gobbledy goop

00:49:49.480 of two spirits

00:49:50.460 and Divine Masculine

00:49:52.180 and the energy man.

00:49:53.800 You're going to end up

00:49:54.200 sounding like Joe Biden

00:49:55.080 and nobody wants to do that.
