The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1000 - Are Libs Trying To Get Justices Killed？

00:00:00.000 The libs are trying to get the conservative Supreme Court justices killed. That's the only 1.00

00:00:05.960 explanation I can come up with as to why a left-wing group just released the home addresses

00:00:11.380 of Amy Barrett, John Roberts, Sam Alito, Brett Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas, and Neil Gorsuch.

00:00:18.560 The group, which calls itself Ruth Sentas, said, quote, our 6-3 extremist Supreme Court

00:00:25.280 routinely issues rulings that hurt women, racial minorities, LGBTQ+, and immigrant rights.

00:00:33.160 We must rise up to force accountability using a diversity of tactics. Rise up. Force accountability.

00:00:44.780 Diversity of tactics. You'll notice peaceful protesting is only one tactic. Not hard to

00:00:51.220 figure out what they mean by diversity of tactics. But this is just one radical group,

00:00:56.840 right? Just some fringe leftist terrorists that have nothing to do with actual Democrats in power,

00:01:03.100 right? No, actually. It turns out that the Democrats in power at the highest levels of power

00:01:09.300 are refusing to condemn the threats and intimidation.

00:01:13.780 These activists posted a map with the home addresses of the Supreme Court justices. Is that

00:01:19.540 the kind of thing this president wants to help your side make their point?

00:01:23.800 Look, I think the president's view is that there's a lot of passion, a lot of fear, a lot of sadness

00:01:30.500 from many, many people across this country about what they saw in that leaked document.

00:01:35.460 We obviously want people's privacy to be respected. We want people to protest peacefully if they want

00:01:40.840 to protest. That is certainly what the president's view would be.

00:01:44.540 Listen, sometimes people get passionate and they send violent mobs to scare or even attack the

00:01:51.220 families of judges, okay? It's passion, right? Even by the Libs standards, it is hard for me to

00:02:00.200 believe what I am hearing from Jen Psaki. But then Jen Psaki goes even further. She makes it clear she was 0.98

00:02:06.000 not stuttering.

00:02:07.380 He doesn't care if they're protesting outside the Supreme Court or outside someone's private residence.

00:02:12.480 I don't have an official U.S. government position on where people protest. We want it, of course,

00:02:18.420 to be peaceful. And certainly the president would want people's privacy to be respected.

00:02:23.580 But I think we shouldn't lose the point here. The reason people are protesting is because women 1.00

00:02:28.560 across the country are worried about their fundamental rights that have been law for 50 years,

00:02:33.600 their rights to make choices about their own bodies and their own health care, are at risk.

00:02:37.640 That's why people are protesting. They're unhappy. They're scared.

00:02:40.600 That's the official White House position. The official White House position on threats against

00:02:46.220 the lives and families of the Supreme Court justices at their own homes is F around and find

00:02:53.120 out. That's what she's saying. The crooks who cry crocodile tears over the horn hat guy dancing

00:02:58.880 around the Capitol rotunda on January 6th, the greatest threat to our North. These people are now 0.88

00:03:04.780 shrugging their shoulders when their own fellow partisans send angry mobs to intimidate judges'

00:03:11.400 families. They want to scare them. They want to scare all of us. They want us all to give up

00:03:19.040 and back down and hand over the country. The overruling of Roe versus Wade is the perfect moment for 1.00

00:03:26.740 reflection. It's a time when the libs and even many conservatives thought that we would be finished.

00:03:32.400 And now they're starting to realize that we're only just getting started.

00:03:37.500 I'm Michael Knowles, and this is the 1000th episode of The Michael Knowles Show.

00:04:02.400 It's being made fun of for tweeting that it's a great read.

00:04:05.400 And this is the first episode of our show. Can you believe they gave me a show? I think I'm the first

00:04:09.540 guy in history to get his own show for not writing a book. 0.99

00:04:12.900 you, you f***ing masses! 0.99

00:04:15.400 Shade! 0.99

00:04:16.400 Things didn't go as planned inside UMKC's Royal Hall.

00:04:19.400 This was a warning shot to conservatives on colleges around the country. 1.00

00:04:24.400 I came to Hollywood like a million other idiots looking for a break. Instead, one day I walked 1.00

00:04:29.400 through a door and found myself transported to a lunatic fantasy kingdom.

00:04:33.400 I have got to thank the listeners for engaging with this show, subscribing, leaving five-star reviews,

00:04:40.400 and actually bringing this show all the way up to the number one podcast in the country.

00:04:46.400 Welcome back to The Book Club. We're talking with the great Larry Elder,

00:04:51.400 Douglas Murray, His Excellency Bishop Robert Barron, Abigail Schreier.

00:04:55.400 Which is why on crucial matters, conservatives have been left speechless.

00:04:59.400 I'm Michael Knowles, this is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:05:01.400 To the queen of the east, I'd search for you again.

00:05:06.400 I've been alone, so no, but this time still.

00:05:12.400 The confines of transmissibility now going to be loosening up and broadening up.

00:05:17.400 I would like to see a dramatic diminution of the personal interaction that we see.

00:05:22.400 Whatever it takes to do that, that's what I'd like to see.

00:05:26.400 Welcome back to the show.

00:05:54.400 Thank you so much, everyone, for making it to 1,000 episodes.

00:05:59.400 This is wild.

00:06:00.400 I feel older.

00:06:02.400 I feel wiser.

00:06:05.400 I feel so grateful to all of you for sticking around for 1,000 episodes.

00:06:10.400 My favorite comment yesterday from Tanisha Rapp, who says,

00:06:13.400 Coming from someone who used to be a pro-choice woman, watching the coverage on the leak and seeing all these women just absolutely refuse to show any empathy for human life in their body makes me so sick. 0.99

00:06:25.400 Of course, I used to be one of these people, and it's baffling to me the level of craziness.

00:06:30.400 Such a great point.

00:06:31.400 When I was a teenager, I would have called myself pro-choice.

00:06:35.400 I had no problem with abortion.

00:06:36.400 I was from a very liberal place.

00:06:38.400 I barely knew any conservatives.

00:06:40.400 I thought the pro-life issue was all about just controlling women, had nothing to do with babies. 1.00

00:06:45.400 I believed all the stuff that the libs believe on this, and I had my opinion changed, in particular during a conversation with a bioethicist.

00:06:54.400 But it just happened like that.

00:06:56.400 I was having lunch, and this woman changed my views, and then I thought more deeply about the subject, and my views deepened rather quickly over time.

00:07:06.400 Then once I saw it, I couldn't unsee it.

00:07:10.400 So I know exactly the kind of phenomenon you're describing.

00:07:13.400 It's why I try not to be too harsh on the people like my guest who was on the show yesterday, who are very pro-abortion, is I think, there but for the grace of God go I.

00:07:22.400 I used to think that way.

00:07:23.400 And then once you realize that the baby's a baby, you look back and you say, how the hell can anyone not realize the baby's a baby?

00:07:30.400 How can anybody defend this kind of stuff?

00:07:33.400 You know, in celebration and gratitude for this 1,000th episode, for all of you guys, the viewers and the listeners who've made it possible, our show is having a giveaway competition.

00:10:14.400 Do we have anything else to sell, guys?

00:10:16.400 Do we have any more commercials we can read?

00:10:18.400 Okay, I guess we can get to the show now for number one.

00:10:21.400 We're going to be on episode 102,000 by the time that we get to the actual show today.

00:10:26.400 Do you know what the libs are doing to these justices is extremely frustrating, it's dispiriting, it's sad, it's dangerous.

00:10:37.400 But the silver lining is it proves something that we have been saying on this show for years.

00:10:42.400 Everything the libs accuse us of doing, they do 100 times over.

00:10:49.400 Everything.

00:10:50.400 Everything.

00:10:51.400 This was clear with the Russia hoax. 0.64

00:10:55.400 The left spent 100 years shilling for Russia in the United States.

00:11:00.400 And then during the 2016 presidential election, they said that the Republicans are shilling for Russia.

00:11:05.400 The libs spent, what, 50, 100 years in the United States undermining and upending norms and traditions and liberties and rights. 0.91

00:11:13.400 And then what do they say?

00:11:14.400 They say, you Republicans, you're trying to upend our culture and our rights and everything.

00:11:18.400 And then the libs said in 2020, or January 6th, 2021, the conservatives are posing a violent threat to America to upend our constitution.

00:11:30.400 Now what are they doing?

00:11:31.400 They're sending violent mobs to the homes of Supreme Court justices where their children sleep.

00:11:35.400 And the White House shrugs its shoulders and say, well, yeah, we don't have a position on where people protest.

00:11:40.400 Guess they probably shouldn't have tried to overrule Roe versus Wade, huh?

00:11:44.400 Sorry, Amy Barrett's children.

00:11:46.400 Yeah, I guess you're going to have to deal with some violent mobs.

00:11:49.400 F around and find out.

00:11:50.400 That's what they're saying.

00:11:51.400 And Joe Biden has the gall, the audacity to say that conservatives today, present day conservatives, are the most extreme political organization in history.

00:12:03.400 Griswold was thought to be a bad decision by Bork and my guess is the guys on the Supreme Court now.

00:12:10.400 What happens if you have state changes the law saying that that that children who are LGBTQ can't be in classrooms with other children?

00:12:21.400 Is that is that legit under the way that the decision is written?

00:12:26.400 What are the next things that are going to be attacked?

00:12:29.400 Because this mega crowd is really the most extreme political organization that's existed in American history and recent American history.

00:12:38.400 The most extreme political organization. 0.99

00:12:41.400 And he says it with a straight face because Joe Biden is a liar and he lies the same way that he breathes. 0.98

00:12:47.400 And so he's probably not even aware of what he's saying. 0.98

00:12:50.400 But the word extreme is a particular word.

00:12:54.400 I'm not even well, I am saying that the stuff that conservatives are doing generally is good and the stuff the libs are doing generally is bad.

00:13:01.400 And I'm sure Joe Biden also thinks that the stuff conservatives are doing is bad and the stuff liberals are doing is good.

00:13:08.400 But he used a different word.

00:13:10.400 He said extreme.

00:13:11.400 And on this point of extreme, there can be no debate.

00:13:14.400 The libs are the extreme ones.

00:13:16.400 And they they brag about that.

00:13:18.400 Or they usually do unless they're in an election year and they realize that's going to hurt them.

00:13:22.400 But there's no question.

00:13:23.400 It's not as though, well, you have your opinion and I have my opinion.

00:13:26.400 There actually is an objective answer to this.

00:13:28.400 The libs are the extreme ones on every single issue.

00:13:32.400 It is the libs who are pushing a view that is extreme.

00:13:36.400 That is to say radical.

00:13:37.400 That is to say fringe.

00:13:39.400 That is to say outside of the mainstream of American thought on marriage.

00:13:45.400 There was a definition of marriage for all of human history until what seven or eight years ago.

00:13:52.400 And then most conservatives or at least many conservatives still hold that opinion of marriage.

00:13:59.400 The liberals now hold a definition of marriage that is completely different.

00:14:03.400 That was completely upended by the Supreme Court.

00:14:05.400 Whatever you think of the definition of marriage or what the definition of marriage should be.

00:14:10.400 It is undeniable that the libs position is the extreme one.

00:14:14.400 That's the one that's out of sync with all of history and every civilization and the mainstream thought.

00:14:19.400 The conservatives is not on the issue of life that we're talking about now.

00:14:24.400 The conservative view is we really shouldn't have all this abortion. 0.53

00:14:28.400 By the way, the mainstream conservative view isn't even that we need to overnight get rid of all abortion everywhere throughout the country.

00:14:35.400 I might prefer that myself, but that's not the mainstream view is send it back to the states, right?

00:14:39.400 That's what that's what you see in Justice Alito's leaked opinion.

00:14:44.400 The left wing view is abortion on demand without apology until the moment of birth and in some cases actually after birth.

00:14:51.400 There was a bill that was floated in California to permit abortion after birth.

00:14:55.400 I'm not joking in the perinatal period.

00:14:57.400 The former governor of Virginia, Ralph Northam said that after birth, if a mother didn't want her baby in certain cases, they would make the baby comfortable and decide if they want to kill it or not.

00:15:06.400 Which is the radical, again, regardless of your view on life or abortion or anything like that, which is the extreme view?

00:15:14.400 It's not difficult to discern.

00:15:16.400 The Libs view is the extreme one.

00:15:18.400 On immigration, the conservative view is, hey, maybe we should reduce all of this immigration just a little tiny bit, at least illegal immigration.

00:15:25.400 That's the view that's held by the vast majority of Americans.

00:15:28.400 The Democrat view is open up the border, let in 3 million people a year, 1 million legal, 2 million illegal at least.

00:15:35.400 It's probably going to be more than that.

00:15:36.400 No human being is illegal.

00:15:38.400 Let's take down the border wall.

00:15:39.400 Let's let even more people in. 0.83

00:15:40.400 On every single issue, it is the Democrats who have the extreme view.

00:15:44.400 You might even like that extreme view.

00:15:46.400 I don't and you probably don't either.

00:15:48.400 Even if you do, there is no question the Democrats right now are the most extreme political organization in the country.

00:15:56.400 It's the exact opposite of what Joe Biden said.

00:15:58.400 It's almost by definition.

00:16:00.400 We conservatives generally are happier with the way things are in tradition, in custom, in the rule of law.

00:16:08.400 It is the radicals who want to come in and subvert that kind of thing.

00:16:11.400 We are not the aggressors in the culture war.

00:16:16.400 Now, the culture war is ratcheting up.

00:16:18.400 People are getting really, really aggressive.

00:17:41.400 We are not the aggressors in the culture war.

00:17:44.400 I have had the distinction over the past two days of being condemned,

00:17:50.400 not just by one, but by two American universities.

00:17:55.400 Isn't that amazing?

00:17:57.400 One of those universities is BU.

00:18:01.400 I spoke at BU a couple of weeks ago, a few weeks ago.

00:18:05.400 I gave a talk and the BU administration really tried to shut this thing down.

00:18:12.400 So I had a sold out crowd and then there were people who had shown up for a standby line

00:18:17.400 because there was some talk that there might be a kind of a walkout.

00:18:19.400 Then, for whatever reason, it was the police chief or the deputy police chief.

00:18:23.400 There was one guy.

00:18:24.400 Generally, the people we worked with at this event were very nice and very accommodating.

00:18:28.400 But there was this one dude, I think it was the deputy chief, who just wouldn't let people in,

00:18:32.400 wouldn't let half the audience in, wouldn't let our photographer in.

00:18:35.400 We couldn't even get photographs of the event.

00:18:37.400 Made the standby line disperse and sabotaged the event.

00:18:42.400 And then at one point, a bunch of the libs in there stood up and yelled and screamed and they sort of walked out too.

00:18:48.400 And then they wouldn't let anyone come back in.

00:18:51.400 So it was a bit of sabotage, but we at least got the speech out.

00:18:55.400 And now the BU student government has just issued a formal condemnation of me.

00:19:02.400 Said, we're disappointed and frustrated by the Boston University administration's allowance of a speaker

00:19:07.400 who is openly transphobic and actively seeks to erode and endanger the LGBTQ community.

00:19:14.400 Students expressed their concerns about safety and the BU administration continued to be silent and allowed for the event to occur.

00:19:21.400 We fully believe in freedom of speech and expression.

00:19:24.400 However, there you go, there's that however.

00:19:27.400 However, not for Michael.

00:19:28.400 However, there is a line between free speech and hate speech that must be drawn.

00:19:33.400 Okay.

00:19:34.400 Obviously written by not very well-educated undergraduates.

00:19:39.400 They accuse me of being transphobic.

00:19:43.400 A phobia is an irrational fear of something.

00:19:46.400 I don't have any fear of people who have strange sexual confusion.

00:19:52.400 I certainly don't have any irrational fear of that.

00:19:55.400 I'm simply making the observation that men are not women and boys are not girls. 0.74

00:20:00.400 And that it is wrong for a society to pretend otherwise because it's a lie and it's a delusion and it doesn't help anybody.

00:20:07.400 Not the people who are confused, not the rest of society that has to pretend and be made to lie.

00:20:13.400 We just shouldn't tolerate that because it's just not true.

00:20:15.400 Regardless of what you think about the transgender issue, my view is not the extreme one.

00:20:25.400 My view is not the radical one.

00:20:28.400 My view that men can't secretly be women is the view held by statistically all human beings everywhere throughout the entire history of the world until five seconds ago.

00:20:39.400 The view that men secretly can be women and are women and we should treat them as such.

00:20:44.400 That is the extreme view.

00:20:45.400 That is the radical view.

00:20:46.400 That is the aggressive view in the culture war.

00:20:48.400 Now, I expect this kind of thing from Boston University.

00:20:51.400 BU is a liberal school in a liberal town in a liberal state.

00:20:55.400 Okay, I'm not terribly surprised.

00:20:58.400 But it gets even crazier because we just found out a couple of days ago that another university had invited me to speak and the school itself, the school administration preemptively shut it down.

00:21:11.400 And the school was not some radical secularist school.

00:21:15.400 It's not supposed to be.

00:21:16.400 It was a Catholic school.

00:21:17.400 And they took issue with me for holding the Catholic view of sex and gender and human nature.

00:21:26.400 This school is the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota.

00:21:31.400 And the school said, this was the university and the student government.

00:21:38.400 So the university leaders and the student government said that they would not permit the student group to bring me to campus because I had made comments on transgender issues that the university had deemed were in violation of the, quote, commitment to dignity and diversity.

00:21:53.400 And what is my comment, by the way?

00:21:56.400 They're trying to insinuate that I'm really insulting or mean or cruel to people or that I'm calling for violence against people.

00:22:03.400 I haven't done anything of the sort, of course.

00:22:05.400 Of course, that's why they never cite any examples here.

00:22:08.400 They just use this vague term that I'm undermining their dignity and I'm saying phobic sort of things.

00:22:14.400 What is my view?

00:22:15.400 What is the view that is contrary to the values of the University of St. Thomas?

00:22:19.400 My view is that men and women are different and complementary.

00:22:21.400 My view is the Catholic view.

00:22:22.400 Where did I get my view?

00:22:23.400 The catechism of the Catholic Church would be one source.

00:22:26.400 If the University of St. Thomas is so shocked and offended by what I have to say, can you even imagine what will happen when they read St. Thomas?

00:22:34.400 Oh, boy, fellas, you're really in for something when you read St. Thomas Aquinas at the University of St. Thomas because his views, gosh, they're even more blunt and direct and eloquent than mine are, aren't they?

00:22:45.400 It's always bad when conservatives are not allowed to say conservative things on campus.

00:22:52.400 That's bad and sad and shows you how far the campuses have fallen.

00:22:56.400 But it is especially absurd when a Catholic is not allowed to say Catholic things at a Catholic university.

00:23:04.400 But it's obviously not a Catholic university.

00:23:07.400 They're admitting that now.

00:23:09.400 They are saying, no, there are between the two religions that we've got to pick, Catholicism and secular liberalism.

00:23:17.400 We're going to choose secular liberalism.

00:23:19.400 A man cannot serve two masters, University of St. Thomas. 0.99

00:23:22.400 I think they're circulating a petition now to bring me to speak.

00:23:26.400 I'm happy to speak.

00:23:27.400 I'd like to go, you know, since the student group invited me, that would be very nice.

00:23:30.400 But much more importantly than that, whether I speak or not, I don't really care.

00:23:35.400 Ultimately, I speak on lots of college campuses.

00:23:37.400 What is very important here is we have to expose the administration of the University of St. Thomas.

00:23:44.400 This is scandalous.

00:23:45.400 The bishops should get involved because this is a Catholic university.

00:23:48.400 The parents who are writing their tuition checks should get involved.

00:23:52.400 This is a true scandal.

00:23:54.400 If a Catholic university isn't going to teach basic facts about the difference between men and women, then what are they teaching?

00:24:02.400 They're teaching nothing but extreme radical leftism.

00:24:06.400 Now, it's dangerous for me to go to a school and say boys and girls are different.

00:24:11.400 That's apparently dangerous.

00:24:13.400 But when the libs are calling for the assassination of conservative Supreme Court justices, that's fine.

00:24:18.400 I'm not exaggerating that, by the way.

00:24:20.400 The liberal group that sent the mobs to the justices' homes, they did not explicitly call for physical violence.

00:24:28.400 They heavily insinuated it by saying we wanted diversity of tactics.

00:24:32.400 Peaceful protesting is fine, but we wanted diversity of tactics, okay?

00:24:35.400 We want you to go to their homes where their families live.

00:24:37.400 They were heavily insinuating it.

00:24:39.400 Some blue check libs came right out and said it.

00:24:41.400 There's this one guy, Simon Gwynn.

00:24:44.400 You can tell he's a good person because he has the Ukraine flag in his Twitter name.

00:24:48.400 He's calling to assassinate American Supreme Court justices, but he's got the Ukraine flag.

00:24:52.400 So he's a good guy.

00:24:53.400 He probably wore the mask, too.

00:24:54.400 So he's a good guy.

00:24:55.400 Simon Gwynn, blue check mark, he says, interesting real-life trolley problem in America right now. 0.88

00:25:00.400 If you had the chance to kill Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, the two oldest right-wing Supreme Court justices,

00:25:05.400 would you, should you do it while Biden can get his nominees to replace them confirmed?

00:25:10.400 He then goes on and he says, it's interesting as an abstract question, but becomes a real conundrum if, say,

00:25:17.400 you're terminally ill and have little to lose yourself, but know that it could save many women's lives in the future. 0.81

00:25:23.400 So he's not even saying, gosh, what, should we go out and just kill the judges? 0.96

00:25:27.400 I don't know. 0.96

00:25:28.400 I'm just asking questions.

00:25:29.400 He goes even further than that.

00:25:30.400 He says, you know, especially if you don't have that much to lose.

00:25:32.400 And these judges, they're killing women somehow that I'm not exactly explaining how. 0.99

00:25:37.400 Should you, he's saying it, should you do the thing that I'm suggesting is a good thing and kill Supreme Court judges? 0.99

00:25:46.400 Says the good man with the nice flag and the blue checkmark.

00:25:51.400 This is really, really destabilizing for a country.

00:25:56.400 The economy is already wacky, which is why when you want to make a strong investment to diversify your portfolio,

00:26:03.400 maybe you've got to check out Masterworks.

00:26:05.400 Go to masterworks.io slash MK.

00:26:08.400 Did you know that there is a lucrative trillion dollar asset class?

00:26:11.400 I'm not talking about crypto.

00:26:13.400 I'm not talking about NFTs.

00:26:14.400 This particular asset class has been around for over 275 years.

00:26:18.400 Considering that it outpaced the S&P 500 throughout the most recent 25 years, you could say it's a time-tested performer.

00:26:25.400 Since it outpaced during periods of 3% inflation or higher, you might say it has helped defend the wealth of those who knew about it and were able to invest in it.

00:26:34.400 While everyday investors are usually out of the loop on this, I'm giving you the inside scoop and priority access to this asset class.

00:26:41.400 But it's just too long to reveal in a 60-second ad read, so head on over to masterworks.io slash MK.

00:26:49.400 That's masterworks.io slash MK.

00:26:52.400 Before deciding to invest, carefully review important disclosures at masterworks.io slash CD.

00:26:57.400 This guy, Simon Gwynn, this blue checkmark on Twitter, liberal blue check, suggests that the libs should go and assassinate Sam Alito and Clarence Thomas in his thought experiment.

00:27:08.400 He's since deleted the tweet, which was allowed to stay up, by the way.

00:27:13.400 The Twitter didn't take it down.

00:27:14.400 But he's since deleted the tweet and says, okay, you know, look, I get it.

00:27:18.400 I'm catching a lot of heat for this, but that was his suggestion.

00:27:21.400 And I actually think it's a good thought experiment because it exposes the extremism of the libs, but it shows you the whole issue of abortion.

00:27:30.400 So the thought experiment that this blue check poses is, should we commit an action that is intrinsically immoral to achieve an end that we think is good?

00:27:42.400 Even though it's not really good, but we think it's good.

00:27:44.480 That's a perfect analog for abortion. 1.00

00:27:46.180 Abortion poses this question to people.

00:27:50.180 Should we commit an action that we know is immoral, namely killing a baby, to achieve an end that we think is good?

00:27:56.980 Namely, allowing women to go work at the widget factory more easily and not have to deal with children and go, I don't know, sleep around in New York City or something. 0.99

00:28:04.840 An end that is not actually good, but we are told it is good because feminists say it's very liberating for women to be able to kill their children and not have any attachments to family and to be totally autonomous individuals that just go on lots of Tinder dates every night and have fleeting, casual sexual relationships until they're too old and the men aren't interested in them anymore. 0.84

00:28:24.960 And then they just continue to work for whatever man in a position of middle management is that they have been convinced is a flourishing life.

00:28:32.780 Not to put too fine a point on it, but that is the agenda here.

00:28:38.140 That's the really bleak outlook.

00:28:40.280 And yet, the women are told, no, having a family, that's oppressive. 0.56

00:28:45.340 That's terrible.

00:28:46.020 That's going to really harm you and make you weak.

00:28:49.940 But going to work for some other man in the city, some other man who doesn't care about you and considers you expendable and going and sleeping, not with a husband who loves you, but with men who just treat you for their own pleasure and then cast you aside.

00:29:02.120 That is somehow empowering, completely backwards.

00:29:06.480 So the good that we are told is going to be achieved in the end by killing the Supreme Court justice or killing the baby, the good is not really a good.

00:29:13.700 That's totally dubious.

00:29:15.440 But the question then, even if there were a good outcome that might come from it, it still doesn't justify.

00:29:23.540 It doesn't justify committing the immoral action of killing the judges.

00:29:26.120 It doesn't justify killing the baby.

00:29:27.740 I was asked at Yale a few weeks ago with Senator Cruz, some guy came up to play a prank and get some jokes from his friends. 0.89

00:29:36.580 And he said, would you perform a certain sex act on a man if it would solve world hunger? 0.97

00:29:42.720 And this was supposed to be a big gotcha question because if you answer yes, then ha, ha, ha, you say you'll perform a sex act on a man. 0.98

00:29:50.020 And if you answer no, you're heartless. 0.98

00:29:51.640 You wouldn't solve world hunger.

00:29:52.580 But it's only a confusing question if you view ethics through the lens of consequentialism, if you think that the ends justify the means, if you view the world through this kind of left-wing utilitarian lens that makes all sorts of calculations and doesn't think that any actions are intrinsically morally good or bad.

00:30:11.460 But I'm a conservative baby.

00:30:13.020 I'm not one of these sophisters, economists, and calculators. 1.00

00:30:15.900 I'm not one of these rationalist idiots who thinks the world operates that way. 0.98

00:30:20.400 I think that actions are good and bad in and of themselves. 0.99

00:30:22.980 And that's the only thing that matters.

00:30:24.760 No, don't do the weird sex thing with the dude. 0.97

00:30:27.120 No, don't kill Sam Alito and Clarence Thomas. 1.00

00:30:29.360 No, don't kill the baby either. 0.96

00:30:31.800 Speaking of death, shocking news.

00:30:35.080 Turns out one of the COVID vaccines isn't all that safe.

00:30:39.220 I know.

00:30:39.760 Stop the presses.

00:30:41.280 I know this is shocking.

00:30:42.340 This is the sort of thing I would have been censored for saying and was censored for saying a couple of years ago.

00:30:48.980 But certainly within the, when did the vaccines come out?

00:30:52.140 It came out.

00:30:53.160 Oh, that's right.

00:30:53.960 The vaccines came out right around the time of the presidential election, coincidentally.

00:30:57.860 So whenever that happened, we said very early on, you know, I think there might be some questions with these vaccines.

00:31:02.360 We were censored for suggesting any such thing.

00:31:04.640 Well, now here's CNN.

00:31:06.560 FDA puts strict limits on Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine.

00:31:11.420 And why?

00:31:12.340 Because people have gotten blood clots.

00:31:14.180 I'm not saying everyone who takes the vaccine gets a blood clot.

00:31:16.220 I'm not saying even a lot of people who take the vaccine get a blood clot.

00:31:19.360 But enough people have gotten blood clots that the FDA is now severely limiting the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

00:31:26.480 Of the people who got the blood clots, TTS, 15% of them died.

00:31:32.340 Pretty high number.

00:31:33.180 There's another side to this too, which is that the Johnson & Johnson vaccine was pretty much the nearest to a normal vaccine that had been used.

00:31:42.140 It wasn't quite as radical as the mRNA vaccines like Pfizer and Moderna.

00:31:45.820 So there is a question here too.

00:31:48.600 Is the government just trying to force more people to get those particular vaccines?

00:31:52.180 I don't know.

00:31:52.700 Either way, 100% safe, 100% effective seems to be a little bit of a dubious claim, which some of us knew from the very beginning.

00:32:00.480 Bill Gates though.

00:32:01.540 Bill Gates who, for whatever reason, this computer nerd billionaire has become the face of vaccines.

00:32:07.360 It's Fauci, Walensky, and Bill Gates for some reason.

00:32:10.680 Isn't that weird?

00:32:11.200 I think that's a little weird.

00:32:12.480 Bill Gates speaking at the 92nd Street Y.

00:32:14.820 He's just had an epiphany two years in that, you know, actually it turns out COVID acts a little bit differently that we in the ruling class said it did.

00:32:23.720 It wasn't until early February when I was in a meeting that experts at the foundation said, there's no way, you know, this, there's been too much travel without diagnosis for us to contain this.

00:32:38.560 And then at that point, we didn't really understand the fatality rate.

00:32:43.500 You know, we didn't understand that it's a fairly low fatality rate and that it's a disease mainly of the elderly, kind of like flu is, although a bit different than that.

00:32:53.480 So that was pretty scary period where the world didn't go on alert, including the United States, nearly as fast as it needed to.

00:33:03.660 We were really surprised.

00:33:05.860 We were really shocked.

00:33:07.240 We just didn't understand that COVID didn't pose as big of a threat as we said it was.

00:33:12.920 And it mostly affected the elderly.

00:33:15.440 And we, we understood that.

00:33:18.900 That's so funny.

00:33:19.900 I'm not a billionaire.

00:33:21.420 I'm not the face of the public health response to COVID-19.

00:33:26.620 I'm, and yet I knew that, I knew that pretty much from the very beginning that COVID was not as dangerous as they were all saying it was, and that it affected mostly very elderly people.

00:33:39.380 I, you knew that.

00:33:40.740 Didn't you knew that?

00:33:41.480 I think you probably knew that.

00:33:42.340 You suspected that.

00:33:44.240 Most people I knew who were not liberal, most conservatives I knew, not all of them, but most conservatives I knew, understood that two years ago.

00:33:54.100 We got the data that came out of Italy almost right away.

00:33:58.400 We had the data in the United States.

00:34:00.120 We, we knew, we all, and you know, I think Bill Gates knew it too.

00:34:03.580 And I think Fauci knew it.

00:34:04.920 And I think Walensky probably knew it.

00:34:06.160 I don't think it's just incompetence. 1.00

00:34:07.820 I think that either they're the dumbest people on the face of the earth, which is pretty surprising. 0.99

00:34:12.700 Or they knew it, and they just decided to drag this whole thing out to take more power and to take more money. 0.99

00:34:20.600 The two years of the COVID lockdowns, the public health response, represented the largest shift in wealth from the lower classes to the upper classes in the history of the world.

00:34:32.520 The two years of the COVID response represented a major shift in power from the people and from the states to the federal government, to technocrats, and to international organizations.

00:34:45.340 Oops, and oops, we got it wrong, guys.

00:34:48.040 Wow, who could have seen it?

00:34:49.060 Who could have seen it, Buster?

00:34:50.280 I don't know.

00:34:50.620 All of us could have. 0.87

00:34:51.960 And now you have the audacity to urinate on our leg and tell us that it is raining.

00:34:56.300 Speaking of water, very important to go check out One More Wave.

00:34:59.500 Go to 1MWave.com slash Daily Wire.

00:35:03.300 I am so excited to talk about this company that is really making a difference for our nation's veterans.

00:35:07.980 That is One More Wave.

00:35:09.440 One More Wave uses surf therapy to help veterans stay active, engaged, and connected.

00:35:15.000 The founder of One More Wave, Alex West, is a retired Navy SEAL who noticed that for many veterans, especially those with adaptive needs, standard off-the-shelf surfboards and equipment were off the table.

00:35:25.360 So what did he do?

00:35:26.940 He created a team of surfboard artists and surf instructors to work with grant recipients to design the custom equipment for their experience, level, and physical needs.

00:35:36.200 From there, One More Wave connects veterans to their global network of surfing volunteers who empower them to heal through surf therapy from coast to coast.

00:35:44.160 Fresh salt air, sunshine, and the exhilaration of flying down the face of a wave keep more and more veterans coming back for more.

00:35:50.540 Since 2015, One More Wave has empowered over 500 veterans to find healing and community through surf therapy by providing custom surfing equipment and community.

00:35:59.600 They need your ongoing support.

00:36:00.740 Help fund 10 new surf therapy grants by going to 1MWave.com slash Daily Wire.

00:36:28.000 We're so excited, guys.

00:36:29.180 We're about to come up to my favorite time of the week, the mailbag when I get to hear from all of you.

00:36:32.760 But we've hit episode 1,000.

00:36:35.860 The libs think that we're reaching the end.

00:36:38.160 They think, oh, Roe versus Wade is, we're just, we're reaching the end of the conservative movement.

00:36:42.140 No.

00:36:43.120 We're only getting started, both in politics and on this show.

00:36:47.200 So we've got a lot more fun content coming up, stuff that I can't tell you all about it just yet.

00:36:52.260 But some changes to the show, some new content coming out for the next 1,000 episodes.

00:36:57.380 One piece of that, I had the opportunity to sit down recently with the smartest man in the world.

00:37:02.680 Before we get into metaphysics, the existence of God, free will, politics, culture,

00:37:07.400 I know people are going to be asking, why is the smartest man in the world living on a farm in the middle of Missouri?

00:37:12.800 I would read these books. I was living in a covered wagon. They call it a sheep wagon.

00:37:16.520 Reading Bertrand Russell and Albert Einstein.

00:37:18.240 Reading Bertrand Russell and Albert Einstein.

00:37:20.080 And it occurred to me, these two things really need to be put together.

00:37:23.960 The CTMU is the cognitive theoretic model of the universe.

00:37:26.940 This is your theory of everything.

00:37:28.280 When you take away the points, those zero-dimensional points, now all of that disappears.

00:37:32.860 They look at everything in a Cartesian theater.

00:37:35.620 Do we have free will?

00:37:36.380 And a real manifold is just a space consisting of points in which each point has a locally Euclidean neighborhood.

00:37:42.920 Can you put that into more basic terms?

00:37:45.300 What was it you need to understand about this?

00:37:47.920 Traditionally, it's understood that Satan and Lucifer are the same.

00:37:50.800 Is the devil real?

00:37:52.560 Oh, yes.

00:37:53.860 This is pretty much inescapable.

00:37:59.520 We've got a whole lot more coming up, folks.

00:38:08.380 We've got much more live interaction.

00:38:10.940 We've got much more in-depth conversation with people you probably haven't heard from.

00:38:15.100 We've got in-depth docu-series.

00:38:16.800 We've got all of it, okay?

00:38:19.260 And starting today, in honor of my 1,000th episode,

00:39:19.360 First question up from Robert.

00:39:21.160 Dear Mr. Knowles, so I'm pretty sure I know what your response will be,

00:39:25.400 but I'll ask my question anyways.

00:39:28.080 I'm dating a wonderful Catholic girl, and I'm Catholic myself.

00:39:30.960 I'm 33, and she's 21.

00:39:33.500 I was going to say, hey, nice, buddy.

00:39:36.240 But listen, my grandparents were 12 years apart.

00:39:39.720 I mean, that didn't used to be so unusual as it is now.

00:39:42.260 We haven't been dating very long, six months, but I do care a lot about her.

00:39:47.100 We are intimate with each other, and unfortunately, the contraceptive broke,

00:39:50.860 and we are waiting to see if we're pregnant or not.

00:39:54.120 I know abortion's wrong, so I don't want to put that on her or on my soul, 1.00

00:39:59.040 but I know we aren't ready, and it terrifies me a bit.

00:40:01.980 Do you have any advice or guidance to help me through this?

00:40:05.040 Also, I do plan on speaking with a priest in the near future,

00:40:08.640 but I would love to have some advice or guidance from you.

00:40:12.080 Sincerely, a terrified, possibly new father.

00:40:14.380 Okay, first thing, take a breath.

00:40:16.980 First, pause.

00:40:18.820 This is like what you would say to a medical doctor.

00:40:20.620 First, do no harm.

00:40:22.220 I know this could be very scary.

00:40:24.380 You could be freaking out.

00:40:25.840 I'm certain you are freaking out.

00:40:27.700 Don't do anything rash or crazy or anything that you're going to regret,

00:40:31.200 which you understand.

00:40:32.440 First thing, do not abort the baby.

00:40:37.120 If there is a baby, you don't even know if your girlfriend is pregnant yet. 0.98

00:40:41.800 It's actually harder to get pregnant than a lot of people think that it is.

00:40:44.680 I know in health class now, they teach you that if you even look at a girl the wrong way,

00:40:48.740 she's going to get pregnant. 1.00

00:40:49.700 That's actually not really how it works generally.

00:40:52.180 But if she is pregnant, do not abort the baby.

00:40:57.440 If you want to raise the baby, if you like this girl,

00:41:02.720 if you think that you get along well together and you could have a long-term future together,

00:41:07.160 then just get married.

00:41:09.160 Get married quickly.

00:41:10.380 It's okay.

00:41:10.900 John Lennon, I think, once made the wry comment that most babies in history have been born out

00:41:15.980 of a whiskey bottle, which is a little cynical, but there's probably some truth to that.

00:41:22.740 And there have been shotgun marriages that have turned out really great, okay? 0.87

00:41:26.540 So if you like the girl and the girl likes you and you think this could be a serious thing

00:41:31.240 and you were thinking that while you were dating her, huh, we might really end up together.

00:41:35.000 And now you're in the situation where you might have a baby, well, look, that might be an opportunity

00:41:39.500 to get married.

00:41:41.360 And you don't need to bury your head in shame about it.

00:41:43.560 You can just get married.

00:41:44.820 You could have a good life.

00:41:46.100 If you say, no, we really don't want to get married or we really don't want to raise this baby,

00:41:52.560 then give the baby up for adoption.

00:41:54.920 You can do that.

00:41:55.680 Again, you don't need to bury your head in shame about that.

00:41:57.680 Adoption can be a very beautiful thing.

00:41:59.540 There's an estimated 36 couples in the United States for every single baby put up for adoption.

00:42:04.720 So you will find a loving home for this baby if you want to do that.

00:42:09.260 Okay.

00:42:09.880 Now, putting those questions aside for a second, what should you do into the future?

00:42:14.480 You should stop doing that thing that only married people are supposed to do because, 1.00

00:42:19.980 well, I guess you've just proved it, right?

00:42:21.800 Because these sorts of things can happen and sex is for a purpose.

00:42:25.360 And yep, I know it's a fallen world and we live in a time of casual sex.

00:42:28.360 And so I'm not really passing judgments here on you, but I am passing a judgment on the action.

00:42:33.800 And you recognize that now too.

00:42:35.320 So you and your girlfriend should cut that out and then, you know, get married and, you know,

00:42:39.640 then go to town, have a good time.

00:42:42.180 And you say you want to go talk to a priest about this.

00:42:43.900 Yes, you should go to a priest, confess the sin, perhaps get some advice.

00:42:47.800 Probably the priest is more thoughtful about this than I am.

00:42:51.540 But there it is.

00:42:52.600 That's, I'm giving you a very technical answer because I know that you are in a really technical

00:42:58.780 moment where you're going to have to make certain decisions and you're going to have a lot of

00:43:02.440 cultural pressure to push you in the wrong direction.

00:43:06.680 Do not do that.

00:43:07.660 First, first things first, do no harm.

00:43:12.200 And then potentially look at this as a good opportunity.

00:43:14.840 From Michael.

00:43:16.380 Hey, Michael.

00:43:17.240 Long time listener.

00:43:18.020 Love the show.

00:43:18.380 Question regarding another recent mailbag question.

00:43:21.820 You said we should just move on and understand that the libs might have been going through

00:43:25.560 something and not let their insane COVID schtick get to us. 0.99

00:43:29.740 My question is, what are your thoughts on the people that still buy into the insanity,

00:43:34.320 even as we are well into year three?

00:43:36.160 Thanks for the amazing show.

00:43:37.440 Great question.

00:43:38.480 I was asked this a week or two ago.

00:43:40.560 They said, look, I'm just so angry at some of my friends and relatives who wouldn't see me

00:43:44.500 during COVID, who were so crazy about it.

00:43:46.900 It's hard for me to move on.

00:43:48.140 And my answer was, you just move on.

00:43:49.380 It's okay. 0.59

00:43:49.900 Look, they were neurotic.

00:43:51.100 They lost their minds.

00:43:53.160 You did not.

00:43:54.480 But look, kiss it up to God.

00:43:56.720 Suffer silently.

00:43:57.820 Move on.

00:43:58.580 If you don't want to lose your friends and family, it's okay.

00:44:00.880 Have a little grace.

00:44:02.420 What if your friends and family are still sticking with the COVID mania?

00:44:06.260 You should laugh about it.

00:44:07.900 Not in a mocking way, but as a sort of, hey, guys, you know, come on.

00:44:11.020 It's over.

00:44:11.780 All right.

00:44:12.560 You're going to be okay.

00:44:13.860 No, but what if I show up to the party and I have, and then someone sneezes?

00:44:17.920 It's going to be, there's germs.

00:44:19.300 Okay.

00:44:19.600 There are going to be germs forever.

00:44:20.920 And you know what?

00:44:21.440 You're going to get sick again at some point.

00:44:23.140 And that's okay.

00:44:24.520 That's the way the world goes.

00:44:25.880 No, well, I don't want to go.

00:44:26.800 Well, you don't need to come to my party.

00:44:28.540 You don't need to come get dinner tonight.

00:44:30.080 You don't need to come over to the house, but you're invited.

00:44:33.160 We're all going to move on with our lives.

00:44:35.360 And if you want to live again too, you're more than welcome.

00:44:38.820 But if you don't want to, I can't make you.

00:44:41.100 That would be my attitude.

00:44:43.200 Warm, loving, but don't, you can't play into this.

00:44:47.400 You really shouldn't have played into this from the beginning, but certainly not now.

00:44:50.800 Is your home's title still in your name?

00:45:21.640 From Ricky, hey Michael, with the current cultural climate being so supportive of child sacrifice

00:45:26.460 and now even major companies supporting these same disordered ideals, such as Amazon, I'm

00:45:32.860 increasingly concerned about how I, as a consumer, support these fundamentally immoral ideals

00:45:37.200 through my purchases.

00:45:38.760 Obviously, I can stop shopping through Amazon and cancel Prime membership, etc., which our family

00:45:44.540 firmly intends to do, but it's increasingly hard to know where other companies stand on

00:45:48.880 this issue to or whether they are supporting organizations like Planned Parenthood.

00:45:52.800 How do you go about vetting where you shop and learning about their political beliefs so

00:45:57.020 as not to inadvertently support abortion?

00:45:59.980 Well, you are supporting abortion.

00:46:02.140 By living in the United States, you're supporting abortion. 0.89

00:46:04.580 Your tax dollars are going to Planned Parenthood, and Planned Parenthood is butchering babies, 0.99

00:46:09.500 and it's an abortion mill. 1.00

00:46:10.440 And we have laws on the books that pretend that your dollars are not going to abortions 0.97

00:46:15.660 themselves, but money is fungible.

00:46:17.700 And so if you're funding abortionist organizations, you are funding abortion, okay?

00:46:21.680 And you're doing it not just through your tax dollars, but you're doing it through, I don't

00:46:26.820 know, your pension plans.

00:46:28.520 You're doing it through your employment.

00:46:32.100 Maybe your employer is donating some money or matching some funds or giving to some woke

00:46:36.440 corporation.

00:46:36.820 You're doing it when you go and shop at a store, and if that store is going to offer some kind

00:46:43.740 of matching funds or some kind of insurance program, they're going to buy into an insurance

00:46:47.260 program that is covering abortions.

00:46:49.340 And so you are going to have some indirect contact with evil and some indirect involvement

00:46:57.840 with evil.

00:46:59.360 It's almost unavoidable.

00:47:02.100 I guess not totally unavoidable, but it's practically almost unavoidable.

00:47:07.180 And so there is a distinction to be made with indirect association with evil and direct

00:47:14.700 evil actions.

00:47:16.460 Where does Amazon fall on that list?

00:47:19.220 I don't know.

00:47:20.440 I don't know exactly.

00:47:21.880 They said in a company meeting that they would pay for their employees to go travel out of

00:47:27.000 state to get an abortion. 0.97

00:47:27.860 That seems to be like a heightening of their contact with abortion and their involvement

00:47:33.560 with it.

00:47:34.380 But lots of companies do lots of similar things.

00:47:37.180 I remember some years ago, Starbucks said that as part of one of their charity drives,

00:47:41.240 they would match to a certain amount of money a donation that the employees made to their

00:47:45.800 favorite charity.

00:47:46.580 One of the charities was Planned Parenthood.

00:47:49.040 Does that mean we can't get coffee there anymore?

00:47:50.820 Well, I don't know.

00:47:51.580 I think if you apply that kind of a threshold, then you can't really participate at all in

00:47:56.480 the economy whatsoever.

00:47:59.920 So, you know, this is going to be an unsatisfying answer to you, but I think it's a simple answer.

00:48:05.800 It does help to buy local.

00:48:07.460 It does help to buy from people that you know that is increasingly difficult in an economy.

00:48:12.300 So I, in an economy that's now mostly digital and national and even international.

00:48:17.840 So my answer is do the best you can, but you can't be overly scrupulous about this because,

00:48:24.280 because there is so much evil, particularly on this issue of abortion, just enmeshed into

00:48:30.300 the fabric of society.

00:48:31.280 And that's why we need political action to disentangle that.

00:48:34.920 That's why your commercial action is not going to be enough.

00:48:37.460 You need more political action.

00:48:38.960 From Anonymous, Dear Mr. Knowles, what can a nobody like me, who will never have more

00:48:44.180 than a handful of followers on social media, do to help the conservative cause?

00:48:48.020 Do I just like stuff?

00:48:49.460 Do I just post and retweet?

00:48:51.180 Keep in mind, I don't anticipate ever having any followers, really.

00:48:54.780 What practical thing can a guy like me do to help?

00:48:57.000 Even if I'm largely irrelevant, I understand that large movements can be made up of people

00:49:01.540 of small stature.

00:49:02.240 Yes, I mean, every political movement that's ever mattered has been propelled by people whose

00:49:07.840 names you don't know, right?

00:49:09.780 So that, that's obviously the case.

00:49:11.880 In terms of social media, even if you don't have a lot of followers, it actually does help

00:49:15.280 to post things because the more shares that something gets on social media platforms, generally

00:49:20.780 the more momentum it can get.

00:49:21.920 It can pop up higher in the algorithm.

00:49:23.220 So that actually can be helpful.

00:49:25.600 I'm not saying don't like stuff, don't post stuff, don't share stuff.

00:49:28.820 That is helpful.

00:49:31.820 But there's a world beyond social media too.

00:49:34.440 What you could do that would probably be even more effective, much more effective than posting

00:49:38.920 or liking something in the virtual world is getting out into the physical world and going

00:49:42.640 to a meeting of your local Republican committee or your local conservative group or going out

00:49:47.840 and helping a campaign or going out if, if you're more commercially oriented and starting

00:49:54.060 a business to offer an alternative to some of the woke companies out there.

00:49:57.740 That real action in the real world could have a whole lot more effect.

00:50:01.840 Frankly, even if you just talk to people in your town, just talk to people at a coffee shop,

00:50:07.360 at a restaurant, your friends, your family, your extended family, and you speak to them

00:50:11.340 in, in real life, that could have a much more significant effect than just posting something

00:50:16.900 on social media.

00:50:17.820 When my mind has really been changed on issues, and it's been changed on really important issues,

00:50:23.280 it was changed on abortion, it was changed on the existence of God, it was changed on all sorts

00:50:28.040 of things.

00:50:29.360 Generally speaking, it was changed because of face-to-face interactions.

00:50:34.400 And then I would read some stuff and I would see some videos and I would watch interviews and I

00:50:38.260 would read books.

00:50:39.300 But the face-to-face stuff, the personal connection can make a huge difference.

00:50:42.920 From Daniel, hey Michael, you say he who pays the piper calls a tune.

00:50:46.600 I say, he who pays has the say's.

00:50:50.520 Well, your quote sounds much more eloquent.

00:50:54.600 I've been giving it some thought on how it applies to men losing the ability to be the

00:50:58.400 man of his own house.

00:50:59.840 It is much more common today that both parents are working, so if both are paying, who's doing

00:51:04.120 the saying?

00:51:05.940 Do you believe the push for women to go to work has undermined a husband's ability to

00:51:09.920 be the head of the household?

00:51:11.160 Certainly it has.

00:51:13.360 I don't think it necessarily does because even this whole idea of women working really 0.90

00:51:21.280 is a bit of revisionist history.

00:51:23.020 Women have always worked. 1.00

00:51:24.520 Women have always worked as hard or harder than men have. 1.00

00:51:28.680 But the work was not always the identical work.

00:51:32.440 When I think about the stuff that sweet little Elisa does, even forget about any of her professional

00:51:36.900 activities or professional outside of the home.

00:51:38.800 Just the stuff she does in the home, in the family, with regard to our community, with regard

00:51:43.280 to helping me.

00:51:43.880 She's the only person I trust to help write my show.

00:51:47.320 She is the only person I really trust to give me jokes and zingers.

00:51:49.980 When I think of all that, she works more than I do, at least as much as I do.

00:51:54.800 She works at least as much as I do.

00:51:56.740 But it's different work.

00:51:58.520 And the work that I do, she would hate doing and wouldn't want to do it at all.

00:52:02.700 And the work that she does, I would just not be good at whatsoever and probably not enjoy

00:52:07.200 a whole lot of it.

00:52:07.920 So what Second Wave Feminism in particular did was say, women, if you want to have any value 1.00

00:52:14.000 at all, you need to go work at the widget factory.

00:52:16.340 That's what that guest I had on yesterday, Bronte Remzik, said.

00:52:19.320 She said, you're devaluing women by suggesting that they be mothers and homemakers. 1.00

00:52:23.180 I think I'm valuing them, actually.

00:52:25.260 I think I'm saying that women have value even when they're not doing things traditionally

00:52:31.000 associated with men.

00:52:33.580 So I'm a big defender of sex roles, spousal roles, husbands doing husband things and wives 0.57

00:52:41.680 doing wife things.

00:52:43.740 And that doesn't need to be oppressive and patriarchal or whatever terms they throw at you.

00:52:48.580 It means that there's a role for men and there's a role for women and people are happier when

00:52:53.680 they do those things.

00:52:54.940 And you can support one another and you can both work and you can have respect.

00:52:58.880 And I'm not even saying that women can't work outside of the home. 1.00

00:53:01.680 But if there is a recognition that men and women are different and complement one another,

00:53:08.080 you're going to get along much better.

00:53:09.380 John Wayne made the point that America is actually a matriarchy, always has been. 0.81

00:53:12.600 That women wield so much more power than men do. 1.00

00:53:17.160 But maybe men have more nominal power and maybe men make the final decision on something

00:53:21.560 in the home or with regard to the family.

00:53:23.280 But women, the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. 1.00

00:53:26.100 Women generally run most of the home economy and women generally run most of the lives of 1.00

00:53:30.900 the men.

00:53:31.180 And so I just think that is, people were happier, society functioned a lot better when we recognized

00:53:37.660 that plain fact of the world.

00:53:39.880 On that very politically incorrect point, I'm Michael Knowles.
