00:00:44.840
Dave, we've been friends for a long time. Long time. Now, I've got a series of very
00:00:50.960
probing questions here. Okay. And here's what's going to happen. I'll read a question,
00:00:55.580
then you'll read a question. We will both answer the way that we think the other person
00:01:00.300
will answer. Okay. Brilliant. Our markers here are our two drinks. You have the margarita. Yes.
00:01:05.520
I have the martini with the blue cheese olives. And there's real alcohol in them. There is. And
00:01:09.480
it's early in the morning here. Tennessee time. Just to let the audience in. It's 11 o'clock in the
00:01:14.900
morning right now. Yeah. But you know what? It's 5 o'clock somewhere. Okay. All right. Let's see what
00:01:18.640
happens. Here we go. First question. Ben Shapiro will eventually try marijuana. I will make it. Oh,
00:01:27.680
wait. This is what you're going to say, too. Yes. Yeah, yeah.
00:01:39.020
You are right. I don't think he will eventually try the Peruvian parsley.
00:01:43.020
He will try it. And that's because I'm eventually just going to put it in some sort of kosher meal.
00:01:52.620
Yeah. Yeah. So he will accidentally try it. I don't think he will voluntarily smoke weed. But I think
00:01:58.600
at some conservative event that we do, I will bring the hummus. And I will have put in a little
00:02:06.620
bit of marijuana. Yeah. And Stone Ben Shapiro will speak at normal pacing pace. He'll be like, Ben,
00:02:12.940
you can still slow down a little, but this is much better. Man, the weed's not working. Yeah,
00:02:16.540
yeah, yeah. That's, yes. I like that. There's also the question of, he could get a contact high. I have
00:02:22.260
no idea what Clayton's smoking on that show. Yeah. I think he's beyond. Yeah. He's beyond contact. He's
00:02:25.580
beyond. You're right. His defenses. Yeah. So we were totally right about each other. Yeah. We were right
00:02:31.140
about each other. So we should probably drink. If I know the rules, which I don't. Yeah. And in
00:02:38.660
honor of Shapiro and the weed. All right. Kamala Harris will become president before 2024.
00:02:49.900
So it's not before 2022. It's not before the midterms. It's not before the midterms,
00:02:54.060
but before the end of this Joe Biden term is over.
00:03:01.140
Yeah. That old bastard isn't making it. Come on. What are we doing here? However. Yeah.
00:03:06.720
I'm going to have to correct you. I don't think. You think he's going to make it. I think he's
00:03:12.960
got whatever is keeping him alive right now, whether it is drugs or marionette strings. He, I think he is
00:03:19.120
too prideful to not serve out one full term. I don't think he's going to make it even five seconds
00:03:25.580
longer than that. Right. But I think he's going to make it the full term. Do you think that right at the
00:03:29.500
end, they take him out back like old yellow? Like that's what she's, that's what she's going to do.
00:03:33.800
Joe, Joe, there's something out there. Have you been to the backyard at the White House? Yeah.
00:03:38.440
Think of the flowers. No, the rabbits. Yeah. Think of the rabbits. The rabbits.
00:03:41.000
The rabbits. The rabbits. Okay. Well, so. Wow. I'm shocked. You got to drink.
00:03:44.520
I'm shocked, Noles. But you know, in solidarity with you, I suppose I'll drink too.
00:03:50.340
To old Joe. May he last. The thinking of the rabbits, George. The difference there,
00:03:57.480
by the way, is that I just think he will completely break down. That he won't.
00:04:00.560
In the next three years. You think he can, they can drug, I mean, think what a state we're
00:04:04.660
in in America. That your honest assessment is that they can drug him or use strings.
00:04:10.480
He almost. What about just a weekend at Bernie's kind of thing? Well, they'll just have Pelosi
00:04:13.420
and Kamala. That's basically what happened at that fake state of the union that happened
00:04:17.560
a while ago. I mean, that, he barely made it through that. Yeah. But the guy, you know, he's
00:04:22.680
got piss and vinegar running through his veins. All right. That guy, I think he wants to make it.
00:04:26.540
Yeah. All right. All right. Donald Trump's presidency was a net good for the Republican
00:04:32.620
Party. Ooh, that's a tough one. I'm going to say that. Yes. I actually want to put it
00:04:41.880
even further off. We agreed. We agreed. Despite the shambles that the party is in, despite the
00:04:48.440
split, despite the revolution that's coming and the gulags that we're going to, we both
00:04:53.460
still think it was a net good. I don't say despite. I say because of it. Because of it.
00:04:57.460
Bring it on, baby. Right. You're always a little ahead of it. Yes. If it's going to happen,
00:05:01.060
bring it on. Yes. Absolutely. Well, since we agreed. We should probably drink. Cheers.
00:05:05.460
You know, to the. Breakfast of champions. Ooh, that's salty. That's salty.
00:05:12.900
Okay. Okay. Go. Reset. Dave, next prompt is to you. Cigars are just pretentious cigarettes.
00:05:24.020
Hmm. Wow. Well. Well, your answer is obvious. Yeah. Your answer is obvious. And I think your
00:05:30.520
answer, too. I could be wrong. You know what? I think the answer is no for me on that. I've
00:05:36.320
hung out with you people. Yeah. That's still what I call you guys. You people. But I've
00:05:40.740
had you and, uh, Klavan and some of the other people at my house. Prager. Prager. Cigar
00:05:45.980
guy. And you guys all smoke your cigars. Yes. Maybe I smoke something else at the same
00:05:51.280
time. Yes. Who knows? But are you doing it out of pretentiousness, out of some sort of
00:05:55.420
higher than that? Or are you doing it because you enjoy it? It's not pretentious if it's not
00:05:59.860
pretend. And the other thing is, you know, I love cigars. Did you just come up with
00:06:03.760
that? Oh, right on the spot. That was incredible. As always. Yeah. I, I, I've
00:06:08.400
smoked cigarettes a handful of times. But I, I don't really smoke cigarettes. I don't
00:06:11.320
really. Actually, I'm trying to remember the last time we had dinner. Yeah. Right
00:06:14.260
before I fled and. Yes, I remember when you lied to me about. When I lied to you and
00:06:18.160
then I didn't look back and turn into a pillar of salt. Yeah. It was me smoking a
00:06:22.380
stogie. Yeah. You not smoking a stogie. Klavan smoking a stogie. Prager smoking a
00:06:27.020
stogie. Adam Carolla. Cigarettes. Ripping cigs. Yeah. And that. What does that
00:06:31.180
prove? So, you know, well, Adam, much more a man of the people, I would
00:06:34.740
say. Yeah. Much, but, however, I don't think, I don't think it's a
00:06:37.140
pretentious thing. I think it's just a matter of taste. It's just a matter of
00:06:40.100
taste. Yeah. You like that taste. That's right. And that smell. And you know what
00:06:43.800
they say. And other people don't like it. Yes. But you like pushing it on
00:06:46.900
them. Degustibus non disputandum est. Nothing pretentious about that Latin
00:06:52.520
phrase at all. There's no accounting for taste. There's no accounting for taste.
00:06:55.180
Whatever. All right. Next question? Yes. We should drink, though, right? Yes,
00:06:59.000
yes, yeah, probably. We don't have cigars here? Mm-mm. Mm. All right. A lot of
00:07:06.600
vitamins and things. Yes. Mm. Drink. What? That's the prompt. Just drink? Just drink?
00:07:18.800
Well, you got to figure out what the other person is going to say to that. You
00:07:22.840
understand. So the prompt is drink. This is getting very bad. So will you agree with
00:07:26.000
that or will you not agree with that? Yeah. I would say yeah. All right. Wow. We got
00:07:31.860
that right. We got that one right. Okay. All right. We're going deep. We're going
00:07:37.560
deep. That was the easiest one to answer. All right. Caitlyn Jenner is the most
00:07:43.800
likely candidate to win in the recall of Gavin Newsom. So we have to be
00:07:48.520
percent. Are we saying including Newsom? Ah, see. This is the truth. You are a true
00:07:52.760
political pundit, Michael. Yeah, I. Because the average person may not know. It doesn't
00:07:56.460
mean that Newsom is just disappearing because of the recall. Right. He gets to run again.
00:08:00.060
Yeah. It's just triggering a new election. So is it. That's a wonderful technical point
00:08:03.400
you're making. But let's just say among the. Among the non. Well, let's just say among
00:08:08.320
the non-Nusoms. The non-Nusom kids. Yeah. That's true. Because they're going to be a lot. He's Caitlyn
00:08:11.580
number one out of the non-Nusoms. Okay. So I'll answer for what you think and you answer
00:08:15.420
what I think. Yeah. It's got to be, right? Yeah. Right. So there's no question. Kate,
00:08:23.020
well, it creates this problem. Do I say he? Do I say she? I leave that to your personal
00:08:27.480
choice. To my personal pronoun choices. Yeah. However, whether he or she, Caitlyn has hired
00:08:32.820
a very expensive team of very prominent Republican consultants. Yeah. Raising a lot of money, has
00:08:38.920
been taking this very seriously. I was hoping there might be a different candidate for governor
00:08:44.860
of California. A sort of likable person with a high profile and broadly conservative views.
00:08:51.620
More conservative by the day, you might say. Are you talking about Randy Quaid? Because
00:08:54.740
he said he's considering it. Randy Quaid. Yeah. That's the one. Yeah. That's the one. I see
00:08:59.060
what you're doing there. But I just was wondering. There's still time before the election.
00:09:04.460
Knowles, as I told Candace, the idea that at 3 a.m. my phone would ring and they'd say,
00:09:09.520
Governor Rubin, there's been an earthquake in San Bernardino. Yeah. Like, what do you want me to do
00:09:15.420
about it? Like, call back. I was at the clubs all night. Right. Like, it's just like, what do you
00:09:19.320
want me to do? What do you want me to do? But that really is the problem with politics. Anyone who's
00:09:22.900
sane and decent and wants to live a good life, why would you ever want to do it? You have to be
00:09:27.580
basically a psycho. You'd have to be crazy. But you could say, like, Gavin Newsom obviously is
00:09:32.280
American psycho. He is Patrick. Yeah. No, he really is. You know what? You could pick up and
00:09:35.300
you say, I am the earthquake. I am the storm, baby. I'm in a revolution. I just don't want to take a
00:09:41.220
call. Like, no matter what could they possibly, what do you want me to do? Yeah. You'd have to
00:09:46.400
go, like, take a photo op or something over, you know, the earth that's open. That's true. But did
00:09:51.100
you hear that Randy Quaid is considering running for real? I did see this. So imagine if it's now 1989,
00:09:56.680
right, 1990, and they said to you, in 30 years, not only will Donald Trump have been president and
00:10:04.840
will already be out, but in 30 years, Bruce Jenner as a woman and Randy Quaid, the cousin
00:10:11.440
from the Christmas vacation, will be running for governor of California. To take over after a
00:10:17.400
couple of other people from Arnold Schwarzenegger. What a world, man. What a world. Yep, that's true.
00:10:23.340
So I hope, I'm hoping after a few more drinks, we, I can return to this question for you, but
00:10:29.840
you're right. In the meantime, it's Jenner versus Quaid. Yes. All right. Masks will be mandated
00:10:36.740
permanently on airplanes. Now, again, we got to be a little careful here. Mandated all of the time,
00:10:43.040
mandated maybe just for flu season, but some kind of mask mandate. Okay.
00:10:48.560
Totally. I have to say those in that we've answered a lot of these the same. You've become
00:10:55.640
quite astute in your political. You know, I, I, I've just learned from the, and I'll drink to that.
00:11:00.980
I'll drink to that. Um, yeah, that one's honestly pretty depressing, but, uh, you know, I think you
00:11:06.120
and I are pretty eye to eye on this, which is that the masks, the lockdowns, none of this has anything
00:11:10.240
to do with COVID anymore. No. It has nothing to do with keeping people safe. It is a bunch of like
00:11:14.680
psychopath authoritarians who don't understand anything about science trying to control our
00:11:19.500
lives. Like it has nothing to do with anything beyond that. It's the secular keffia. Yeah. Yeah.
00:11:23.920
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. In the Middle East, they've got the head skull. And this is the version of that
00:11:27.760
for secular libs. Yeah. I know. I have to say it's nice being here in Nashville where nobody's
00:11:32.660
wearing a mask. Oh, no. We actually, you know how we greet people here? We lick the nearest door.
00:11:37.120
Yeah. We do. We do. Just for our freedom. I was wondering what you were doing out there.
00:11:41.700
Yeah. All right. Let's see what we got here. Ooh, this is good. This is good. The trial of
00:11:49.620
Derek Chauvin was a fair trial. Okay. We have to be very technical about that. The trial.
00:11:55.400
The trial of Derek Chauvin. The trial. The fair trial. And this is what the other person
00:11:59.640
would say. Yeah. Oh, don't move. Make a move yet. I don't want you to tip me off here, but
00:12:04.700
I want to think this through. What would Michael Knowles say? Wow. We agreed again.
00:12:12.620
I know. So what's your thought process on this?
00:12:15.940
You know, when the mob goes into a restaurant in New York and they say, hey, it's a real nice
00:12:20.440
restaurant you got here. Sure would be a shame if something happened to it. Why do you have
00:12:24.940
a legitimate fear of the mob? Because they're intimidating and they're making threats to you,
00:12:29.180
but also because they've carried out these acts of violence in the past and gotten away
00:12:33.320
with it. That is exactly what BLM did. That is exactly what the elected politicians like
00:12:41.060
Waters and Kamala Harris did, right? Waters calls for violence. Kamala Harris bails out
00:12:46.620
the rioters. And they did the civil suit before the trial. So they already gave the family 27
00:12:51.260
million bucks. Right. This, we already knew. Waters at the time said, if they don't get the
00:12:55.580
murder conviction, burn down the country. Yeah. And we were told, oh, the jury, no, don't
00:13:00.820
worry. It's okay. They didn't hear about it. But even the judge who said, he said, I'm not
00:13:04.640
going to declare a mistrial. Yeah. But Maxine Waters just gave you a great appeal. So he's
00:13:09.100
admitting, he's like, I should declare a mistrial, but I'm just not. Obviously it was not fair.
00:13:12.860
Yeah. I don't even have much to add to that. Like that sort of pressure. And I was thinking
00:13:16.100
about it this way. Like if you were a juror on that and you had any fear, a legitimate fear,
00:13:21.780
even 2% that you might be leaked, you know, once, once this thing's over that your address,
00:13:26.220
your name, you might be docs. Like, and especially now in an internet world where you can't keep,
00:13:29.960
it's like, it would be within your complete rational self-interest to go for the guilty
00:13:34.860
verdict. And that's how twisted justice has become. Imagine the courage required,
00:13:38.860
because it's not even just you. Yeah. It's your family. It's your loved ones. Yeah,
00:13:42.660
absolutely. Yeah. Well, we did it. Cheers. You're drinking my drink. All right. All right.
00:13:47.620
In the spirit of freedom from COVID, you know, I feel. That tastes a little COVID-y. Well,
00:13:52.440
it does. Yeah. That's, that is the vaccine actually. That was the vaccine. That'll kill
00:13:56.500
the Germans. That was it right there. All right. No, I'm up. It's my question. Oh, sorry. Hold on.
00:13:59.960
Real nice. Okay. You want to, I actually didn't, it said, I think I saw the word custodian maybe. Okay.
00:14:04.140
Well, close. Yeah. Criminal justice reform is needed in America. Well, now this is a very broad question.
00:14:12.280
That's broad. That's broad. Yeah. Okay. All right. But I'm going to take it at its broadest.
00:14:16.240
Broadest. Oh, I see what you're doing once again. And it's broadest. Okay.
00:14:19.440
I'll touch this one. So at the broadest, I know you're, yeah. I know you're going to do that.
00:14:22.780
No question. Yeah. Like, at- We need more death penalty. We do. We need more. We have an
00:14:27.700
under-incarceration problem in this country. Too many lawyers. We have, we have, first of all,
00:14:31.580
too many lawyers. Yeah. And we have BLM and Antifa. Yeah. Torched the country last year. And then at the,
00:14:40.080
that was one side of their mouth. The other side of their mouths, they complain about over-incarceration. Right.
00:14:44.240
Right. While none of them got arrested. None of them got arrested. Yeah. Kamala Harris actually
00:14:47.240
funded some of them getting out of jail. The funny part about that, you know this from LA,
00:14:50.900
where still, like pretty much where the Daily Wire offices were, it's still all boarded up and it
00:14:55.520
looks like- No, you're kidding me. Yeah. No. But the best part of the board, the boards are that they
00:15:00.040
all say, you know, peace, love, tolerance, whatever, BLM, love everybody. But it's, it really,
00:15:06.020
you'd mentioned the mafia before. It's a mafia game. They're, they're boarding up their businesses
00:15:09.360
saying, we're writing this stuff because we know if we don't write this stuff, you're going to burn
00:15:14.580
down our business. It's the worst kind of mafia tactic. Yes. Because it's too, the mafia tactic
00:15:19.480
that you like is when you walk into the restaurant and they're like, you know, I'm going to- Pay up.
00:15:23.540
Yeah. That, that, there's at least a subtlety to it or at least, you know, you're going to get a free
00:15:26.860
meal. But this is like, here, full on burn it down. In, in Brentwood. So one of the nicest
00:15:31.840
neighborhoods in, in LA, I saw all these boards up. This was during the height of it, in July and August.
00:15:36.860
And they, I kid you not, it said, they, they had receipts printed on there of the donations they
00:15:43.840
had made to Act Blue and BLM. Think how psychotic that is. There were, there were some that said
00:15:47.680
minority owned business. Yeah. Like the lamb's blood, like go, go kill Whitey, but don't please.
00:15:53.080
And by the way, these were not, a lot of them were not minority owned businesses. Right. But
00:15:56.000
because they said, please, please go burn the other guy. Don't, don't take me. We need criminals.
00:16:01.060
I'm good. I bow forever. We took an interesting twist on that one. They, it was very,
00:16:06.100
yeah. I like it knows. I would put these people in jail. Yeah. That's, that's the justice reform I
00:16:11.900
like. All right. Critical race theory should be federally banned from all public schools and
00:16:17.620
universities. I think we can both just drink on this one. Yeah, let's. You really? Yeah. I think
00:16:24.240
we got that one easy enough. Yeah. It's just poison. You know, some people don't get it because they
00:16:29.560
say, oh, what's the big deal? Just, you know, they'll have this class in critical race theory,
00:16:34.120
but then this one won't be. There is a thought that stops thought. Yeah. That is the only thought
00:16:40.380
that ought to be stopped. Critical race theory actually says, not only, you know, you're horrible
00:16:44.740
because of your race or you're great because of your race. It also says there's no such thing
00:16:48.640
as objective truth. Yeah. It also says like the hard work is white supremacist. Yeah. Being on time
00:16:55.680
is white supremacist. Like it's here to destroy everything. Like, so I don't think it's a real jump
00:17:02.380
to say that it's a thought cancer is what I would say. Yeah. It's here to destroy the ability to talk
00:17:07.940
about other ideas. So the idea that you would teach that at a college, well, that might explain why all
00:17:13.000
the colleges are crumbling. Right. Right. But I think we can both agree that Asians should be banned
00:17:17.100
from Harvard. Oh, obviously. That goes without saying. Yeah. I mean, we need more spots for, you know,
00:17:20.920
for us. Yeah. White people. For the, for, yeah, that's what I mean. By us. Yeah. Do I count? I don't know if I count.
00:17:27.700
I'm a little lumpy. No, no, no. Since you left LA, you're a little paler. I have gotten, that is true. I know.
00:17:33.120
We've got to check in with Ibram Kendi to see how much privilege I have in my swarthy skin. Yes.
00:17:39.840
Roe v. Wade. Ooh, this is actually a pretty good one for Dave Rubin. Roe v. Wade should be overturned.
00:17:45.840
I've spent my life trying to avoid this question. Yes. Now, you know that, now that's a, that question is actually
00:17:51.660
leaves open a few different interpretive possibilities. But I mean, you know my answer, but. Right. So, okay.
00:17:56.920
So, your answer obviously is this. Yes. What do you think my answer is?
00:18:00.960
That Roe v. Wade, that the court case that took this issue away from the states, that's certainly
00:18:06.260
the dominant reading of it, should be overturned. I'm going to out you, I think, right now. I don't
00:18:13.140
know if you've talked about this publicly. You haven't told me any of this privately. I think
00:18:18.240
you believe that Roe v. Wade should be overturned. Even if you don't agree with all pro-life laws,
00:18:24.720
or I think on the court case, you would agree. Michael, as you know, I've made a begrudging
00:18:30.100
pro-choice 12-week argument in Don't Burn This Book, New York Times bestselling Don't Burn
00:18:35.640
This Book. Great book, by the way. Great book. That being said, and I think maybe I've discussed
00:18:42.540
this once on some random podcast because someone flat out asked me, the defense of the idea that
00:18:48.060
it should be a federal law doesn't really make any sense to me. And of course, you should
00:18:52.400
kick it back to the states, and the states should decide. And really, if liberals could
00:18:56.300
stand on any principle that would make sense, well, then if the idea is, okay, well, now
00:19:00.440
these 12, let's say, southern-ish states are going to ban abortion, if you really want abortion
00:19:05.540
access, well, then you can still do non-profits to get people to cross state lines and all that
00:19:09.800
stuff. I know you wouldn't be thrilled with that. I don't love the idea. I'm not sitting here
00:19:14.000
like, I love abortion. But you're just talking about what should the court be doing, what
00:19:17.520
should the federal government be doing. And what freedom is and federalism and everything
00:19:19.980
else. So you were quite astute on that one. Cheers to that, my friend. You were quite
00:19:24.040
astute. Yes. All right. Well, because there's a difference between your own personal beliefs
00:19:27.640
and personal morality and what the legal system can do. Yeah. What the Constitution sets up.
00:19:31.740
Yeah. Oh, fabulous. This is great. Good one. Whoever put that question in there. Yeah,
00:19:35.060
that is a good one. You pay these people out of your pocket, right? I do, yeah. Whoever put that
00:19:38.520
question in should be. Yeah. And by the way, am I ever going to be paid? Does anybody have the answer
00:19:42.340
to that? We'll find out. Conversations and not wielding political power is what's going
00:19:52.060
to save America. That's a good one, too. They're good. They're good. Conversations. Well, okay,
00:19:57.380
hold on. So I think you know my- I can move on this one very quickly. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. But
00:20:01.440
what does Dave think? Dave five or six years ago versus Dave now. I don't, they might be different
00:20:12.180
answers. Dave five or six years ago, I think all about the conversations, you know, but to
00:20:19.180
the exclusion of wielding political power, Dave of locals fame, Dave of political activism,
00:20:37.180
You are correct. I don't think conversations can do it alone. But I would say that it's
00:20:44.180
not purely political power. And you kind of hit that there. I believe we just have to
00:20:47.900
build stuff. Yeah. And the stuff that they're building will crumble. That's why the idea that
00:20:52.460
the government is going to save YouTube or Twitter, it's like let it fail. Yeah, right.
00:20:56.580
Let it fail because they bring in programmers that are based on diversity as opposed to skill,
00:21:02.180
while people like me build things like locals. So I think it's more about building than wielding
00:21:06.180
political power, per se. But in the strict sense of the question, you still have to wield
00:21:11.180
some power. That's, by the way, why I never called myself a pure libertarian.
00:21:14.180
Right. And that's a, there's that constant hate.
00:21:16.180
This is good. Yeah, yeah. This is good. Well, now, you know, somebody,
00:21:19.180
they're going to call us fascists because of that answer. So, you know, Chin Chin as a
00:21:31.180
Okay. Oh, this is, oh man, this is such a real point. Alex Jones is more accurate than CNN.
00:21:43.180
So, okay. That's good. That's good. I'm not even going to wait. Yeah. Alex Jones is more accurate than CNN.
00:21:50.180
Yeah. No doubt. There's no doubt. The frogs are gay. They're trans, actually. He was cautious about the frogs. He was.
00:21:58.180
What was the deal with the frogs? So he thought if you lick the frog, what was the deal?
00:22:02.180
No, hold on. There was no licking frogs. There was no licking frogs. That's something else.
00:22:05.180
What he's referring to. But there is a toad you can lick that you'll trip.
00:22:07.180
Yes. That's going to be our next game, actually. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:22:10.180
So the thing about the frogs. Yeah. Because we all made fun of. The genderless frogs that. There was a study. Yeah.
00:22:17.180
And by Yale and the EPA in Connecticut of these waters that had chemicals in them. Yeah.
00:22:22.180
The frogs were being disproportionately turned, not gay, but hermaphroditic. Yeah. So they were developing both sex organs.
00:22:28.180
So Alex Jones was actually the most responsible journalist in America. He sort of brought it back to the more modest claim of, they're turning the frigging frogs gay.
00:22:37.180
Yeah. But really, he should have said, they're turning the frigging frogs trans.
00:22:40.180
Right, right, right. But even he knew he could only touch it so much. I would say the reason my answer is yes is that, first off, everything CNN says is basically a lie.
00:22:50.180
Yes. Virtually everything they say all the time is a lie. You can drink to that. And I would also say that Jones, and this is really true, I have never watched, if you took all the clips I've ever watched of him, maybe, maybe it's five minutes, but I've seen like the screaming stuff.
00:23:06.180
Yeah, yeah. But he sort of has been directionally right, let's say, when it comes to, is there a giant sort of globalist operation that's sort of taking over the world that now we're seeing through COVID and lockdowns and everything else? It's like.
00:23:20.180
So he was directionally right about something very big.
00:23:22.180
He did a bit once, I thought it was one of those crazy things he ever said. He said a lot of things that are pretty kooky.
00:23:28.180
He comes out and he says, they're, they're the globalist, the globalist chai comms are making, they're making human monkey hybrids so that they can do their experiments and extend their lives.
00:23:36.180
And I was just like, okay, here we go. Yeah, the human monkey, let me just go to CNN.com, human monkey, oh my gosh, he's right.
00:23:43.180
Oh no, they're actually doing that and admitting that.
00:23:47.180
Yes. That's it. Like that was a headline like three weeks ago.
00:24:01.180
Some type of universal healthcare should be provided for all American citizens.
00:24:13.180
Interesting in the, in the, wait, wait, first off, we're not, we're not in the center position.
00:24:26.180
Well, you first, because I think that's the bigger shock here.
00:24:34.180
Like, am I saying that we should have like Cuban style, you know, totally, I've driven by Havana
00:24:39.180
Hospital, okay, people don't, everyone can go in there, but they don't have any medicine
00:24:44.180
It's like Hotel California, and you can never leave.
00:24:48.180
But, of course, we should have some, you know, if you go to an emergency room, but you don't
00:24:51.180
have money, you, they should take care of you, as, as we do in America.
00:24:55.180
I knew you were going to say it, and that's why I said yes, that, that, that's what even,
00:25:01.180
It's what we've had forever, which is that if there is something really wrong with you, because
00:25:05.180
of the Hippocratic Oath, they are not going to turn you away at a hospital.
00:25:09.180
Yeah, this was like such the lie in 2006, 2007, when that was a really hot issue.
00:25:14.180
People are dying on the streets, and I was like, I don't know, I walk around a lot of
00:25:18.180
Well, you also left L.A., there's people just dropping.
00:25:21.180
Between homelessness and COVID, they're just, they can't breathe, and you know.
00:25:37.180
Today, our Second Amendment rights are under greater threat than our First Amendment rights.
00:25:54.180
I'm actually, I'm actually going to say no as well.
00:26:04.180
So the reason I think the answer is no is that the people that have guns are not going to give up those guns very easily.
00:26:13.180
Took me a while to get there, but that is the beauty of the gun.
00:26:17.180
The First Amendment stuff, we know people are giving it up all the time.
00:26:21.180
Not necessarily because it's the government right now, but between big tech and people silencing themselves.
00:26:24.180
Like, the true spirit of the First Amendment has been completely trampled on.
00:26:29.180
That being said, they obviously are coming for guns, but I think there's a more functional, like, guns are a literal thing that people will not give away.
00:26:38.180
I love the buyback, too, which is like, it's not a buyback if I didn't buy it from you.
00:26:48.180
Hey, grandma, I'm here for the mandatory buyback of your VCR.
00:26:58.180
The gun, the Second Amendment protects the Second Amendment.
00:27:03.180
That's part of the beauty of the Second Amendment.
00:27:06.180
But between the government outright saying you can't, don't forget, it's not just free speech.
00:27:13.180
So the government says, yeah, BLM can assemble and steal Puma shoes.
00:27:17.180
But conservatives who want to protest that, you can't assemble.
00:27:22.180
And then you've got the blob, the corporate blob, which is working in cahoots with the government.
00:27:27.180
It's a little blurry, but they're the ones who are really silent.
00:27:48.180
So this would be, I'd be answering whether you did or not.
00:28:05.180
Because I'm skeptical, you know, of the system.
00:28:18.180
You with your Instas and your Snappies and your, huh?
00:28:24.180
Now, I'm going to get you on a technicality here, my friend.
00:28:43.180
You know, when I started hearing about it, I posted my little Bitcoin address somewhere,
00:28:47.180
and people started donating, and it kept coming in, coming in, coming in.
00:28:52.180
You know, there was a time I was playing with one of the producers.
00:29:03.180
And he said, okay, I don't have cash, but I'll give you some Bitcoin.
00:29:11.180
So I'm probably a millionaire, and it's, I don't understand.
00:29:21.180
So the, well, we should drink to my financial success.
00:29:31.180
If I move to Nashville, I'm going to basically buy the town.
00:29:37.180
Climate change is an existential threat to the human race.
00:29:50.180
It's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, and even if it was, we'll get off this rock.
00:30:05.180
There's nothing to Bruce Willis at the end of Armageddon.
00:30:12.180
And Armageddon, by the way, is a Christmas movie.
00:30:23.180
I guess it's Christian-ish, but it's, they don't, I don't know if they, you know, but.
00:30:26.180
Yes, that was, Bruce Willis is an actor who's been in several movies.
00:30:34.180
Religious revival, specifically Christianity, is the only way to bring the country back together.
00:30:46.180
Yeah, this is, this is interesting and there's some technical stuff here.
00:31:13.180
So, yes, because how do you bring a country together?
00:31:21.180
Yeah, which we're not even allowed to say that.
00:31:26.180
You can bring a country together on race, right?
00:31:29.180
There are plenty of countries that are racial countries.
00:31:34.180
Well, let's let, you know, if Ibrahim Kendi and the rest of that, you know.
00:31:39.180
Then we certainly won't bring a country together.
00:31:41.180
You can bring a country together on a shared, I guess you'd call it civic religion.
00:31:46.180
You know, the admiration for the founders, obviously they're pulling the statues down.
00:31:53.180
It can work for a certain period of time, I would say that.
00:31:57.180
But if you want to bring together, well, especially if you think it's all true, then, you know,
00:32:03.180
But also, if you want to bring together a country where neither Jew nor Greek nor slave nor free,
00:32:08.180
but all are one in Christ Jesus, and you have a country of humility and charity and love of one another
00:32:14.180
coming from the very religion that formed your civilization, that's probably a good bet.
00:32:21.180
So I would say the answer is basically, you're drinking to your own answer.
00:32:26.180
You're like, I really enjoyed what I said there and I'm going to drink.
00:32:32.180
I would say the answer is yes to that because I think the secular stuff can work for a while,
00:32:40.180
And then the second we get into weird times, such as what we're in right now, once secularism
00:32:44.180
has run rampant where you can't say boys are different than girls and all the rest of it,
00:32:48.180
that the only thing that can unify at that point is something true that is before us.
00:32:55.180
Something that my parents believed, that their parents believed, that their parents believed,
00:33:00.180
And we can whittle away whether specifically that should be Christianity or Judaism or Judeo-Christian.
00:33:06.180
All of that stuff is sort of secondary, obviously, you know, what's Tom Cruise, that whole thing.
00:33:15.180
But in essence, if you don't have that, and I think that that's what's happened with the left,
00:33:22.180
And that's not, that doesn't have nothing to do with the fact that they are completely a-religious.
00:33:28.180
It's an odd position for me to argue from, as you know, but I've...
00:33:40.180
I'm going to get kicked off YouTube for this one.
00:33:45.180
That's how we could, we could both get kicked off right now.
00:33:49.180
In 2020, Joe Biden won more legal votes than any president in American history.
00:33:56.180
Due to YouTube rules, make your guess, but do not verbally confirm if the other person guessed correctly.
00:34:08.180
It's a good thing I bring my lawyer with me to these shows.
00:34:16.180
In 2020, Joe Biden won more legal votes than any president in American history.
00:34:26.180
So we make the guess of what we think the other person thinks.
00:34:29.180
But we cannot verbally confirm whether or not that guess was right.
00:35:08.180
We can probably tell this by the amount of cell service around here.
00:35:30.180
And those vaccine passports don't seem all that difficult to produce.
00:35:34.180
I mean, they are really saying you can't leave the country.
00:35:35.180
Some people are saying you shouldn't leave the state.
00:35:42.180
In many ways, the vax people are the anti-vaxxers because they seem to think that they can get
00:35:43.180
the vaccine that still everyone else has to get the vaccination.
00:35:48.180
And whatever Biden said about maybe on the 4th March, it's going to get the vaccine.
00:36:07.180
I personally don't think that a relatively young, healthy person should get a vaccine
00:36:16.180
That was rushed out when you know that if you get sick, you have a 99.7% chance of recovering
00:36:24.180
Just in the last two weeks, my sister and her two kids got it.
00:36:31.180
My brother-in-law, who lives in the same house as my sister, did not get it.
00:36:36.180
Should we have destroyed the world because of this?
00:36:39.180
Especially when you're talking about the kids shooting up rates of anxiety, stress,
00:36:45.180
I can't believe I invited a science denier to come on this.
00:36:56.180
To heresy and to killing all the germs, you know?
00:37:06.180
The Star Wars prequels are better than the new Star Wars trilogy.
00:37:35.180
Allow me as a professional on this one to handle this.
00:37:37.180
The prequels are excellent and they are getting better like fine wine.
00:37:41.180
They tell an incredible story about the accumulation of power.
00:37:45.180
And how political leaders use a crisis to accumulate that power.
00:37:49.180
And that how once you have that power, you take out the other side.
00:37:52.180
That almost has nothing to do with, you know, Luke and Obi-Wan and Yoda and everybody else.
00:38:07.180
So everyone always goes to Jar Jar is the worst part.
00:38:11.180
What got me about the prequels is the midochlorians.
00:38:35.180
I could go on my 80-year rant that Rian Johnson, who did the middle one, he hates Star Wars.
00:38:37.180
They actually brought in a guy that hates Star Wars.
00:38:41.180
Peter Cushing did a great job, I felt, in the new ones, but...
00:38:51.180
2021, a degree from Yale is basically worthless.
00:39:07.180
I would say you're very likely not gonna leave there with an education.
00:39:12.180
You're very likely not gonna leave there loving your country or knowing much about your country.
00:39:17.180
You're probably gonna leave confused about, like, what sex you even are.
00:39:32.180
You know, I started a tech company in the midst of all this.
00:39:33.180
If someone came to me with a Harvard resume or a Yale resume, I would be like, why would
00:39:39.180
Yeah, I want a kid, basically, who learned how to do stuff and do it right and everything
00:39:56.180
I don't know how your baking skills are, but I suspect I could get your answer.
00:40:00.180
As I answer for you, I'll think about my answer.
00:40:13.180
If the cake were, you know, Michael's famous cake recipe, and Michael makes these cakes
00:40:17.180
all the time, and then Dave says, hey, Michael, I booted...
00:40:32.180
If the question were, as happened to that poor baker in Colorado.
00:40:35.180
If you called me and you said, hey, Michael, I need you to bake me a cake that is not...
00:40:45.180
I want there to be bed sheets crumpled everywhere.
00:40:57.180
I couldn't participate in the artistic act of depicting this thing.
00:41:02.180
Which is contrary to the Catholic definition of marriage.
00:41:05.180
But would I sell you the Michael Knowles special cake?
00:41:14.180
I would say my answer is I would not bake the cake because I don't like to bake.
00:42:05.180
At a dinner party, when someone says, I will stay in Los Angeles, do you believe them?
00:42:18.180
I have nothing to add to this other than you're a bastard.
00:42:32.180
You haven't been burned the way I've been burned.
00:42:42.180
Speechless, controlling words, controlling minds, will sell more copies than Don't Burn
00:42:49.180
This Book, Thinking for Yourself, in the Age of Unreason.
00:43:01.180
I think relative to the cultural phenomenon and despite your old dead friends and putting
00:43:39.180
For my first book to be like, this is my final definitive why I left the left kind of thing.
00:43:48.180
Where you're gonna get your core conservatives and then move out from that.
00:43:53.180
But just it's like a technical like who buys books kind of thing.
00:44:27.180
And your wife, the way you guys have done this whole thing with the kid and everything.
00:44:31.180
She never watches any of these sorts of things.
00:44:39.180
But this would be a statement that you would agree with, right?
00:44:43.180
So this could be you saying this statement too.
00:44:45.180
So it's being gay has helped your career and my career.
00:45:10.180
In that you're not gay, I think I have to say no.
00:45:20.180
You know, this is a typical closed minded conservative.
00:45:37.180
