The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1036 - The Left Taking L's

00:00:00.000 Big win for religious liberty yesterday at the Supreme Court.

00:00:03.880 The court ruled 6-3 in Kennedy v. Bremerton School District that the school violated coach

00:00:11.080 Joseph Kennedy's rights when it fired him for kneeling and saying a private prayer

00:00:15.960 after football games. The biggest takeaway is that religious freedom is not completely dead

00:00:22.060 in America. But the second biggest takeaway, and this has been underreported, is that liberals

00:00:29.200 have absolutely no idea what conservatives actually believe. Instantly after the decision

00:00:36.320 came out, a bunch of prominent libs on social media jumped at what they thought was going to be

00:00:42.760 conservative hypocrisy. You saw a million variations of, well, if you think conservatives should be

00:00:49.000 allowed to pray privately at school, then you probably think that Jews and Muslims should be 1.00

00:00:53.300 allowed to do that too, right? Ha ha, gotcha. To which all of the conservatives replied,

00:00:59.880 uh-huh, yep, sounds good. It wasn't the first time that we've seen this kind of thing.

00:01:04.820 We were seeing this liberal disconnect for weeks after the Carson decision from the Supreme Court.

00:01:10.200 If you think Christian students in Maine should be able to spend their education funding at Christian 1.00

00:01:16.360 schools, then maybe Jews and Muslims should be allowed to spend it at their own schools, huh? 0.94

00:01:21.600 Huh? Huh? Uh-huh. Yeah, that's great. Sounds like a great idea. Let's do it.

00:01:26.740 After the Dobbs decision, you want to ban abortion, huh? Well, maybe we should pass a law to make men 1.00

00:01:32.980 support the women that they impregnate. What do you think about that?

00:01:37.140 I think that's a great idea. Where do I sign up for that? I, cool. Let me co-sponsor that.

00:01:42.300 You don't like gay marriage, huh? Well, if you're such a defender of marriage, 1.00

00:01:47.120 what if we made it harder for straight couples to get divorced? Awesome. Mm-hmm. Right. You support 1.00

00:01:55.380 the Second Amendment, huh? So you think it's fine for black men to own guns? I do, yes. One in four 1.00

00:02:03.460 black men in America already own guns, and black rifles and black people, they're both great in my

00:02:08.380 book. The list goes on and on. It is a huge political weakness for the libs. I think it

00:02:16.580 probably explains in part why conservatives have been making such unusual gains in recent years.

00:02:23.020 If you want to defeat your opponent, the first thing that you've got to do is try to understand

00:02:29.280 your opponent. Right now, the conservatives generally understand what motivates the libs,

00:02:35.860 and the libs don't have even the foggiest notion of what motivates us. I'm Michael Knowles. This is

00:02:42.380 The Michael Knowles Show. Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment yesterday is from

00:02:52.460 Juan Estebas, who says, it's crazy how fast they went from my body, my choice to eugenics.

00:02:59.740 It is. It's crazy. It's wild. It's nuts to see. But it's not crazy in the sense that eugenics is the 0.81

00:03:08.540 logical conclusion of that. If your politics is just all about your will and just what you want

00:03:15.060 all the time, and it's not about reason or logic or morality, it's just about what you want,

00:03:19.840 then eugenics is going to be the obvious conclusion of that. That's not just true now. It's been true 0.99

00:03:24.300 throughout all of human history. When you divorce reason and logic and the moral order from politics,

00:03:30.760 things get ugly real fast. It's not even just the radical libs who have no idea what conservatives

00:03:38.360 believe. It's even the squishy conservatives, the center left, the former conservatives. David Frum,

00:03:46.020 David Frum, who was a speechwriter during the Bush administration. He was a vaguely kind of

00:03:51.200 conservative guy, and now he's a sort of center liberal guy. He tweeted out after the Kennedy case,

00:03:59.360 after the case that vindicated the football coach for praying privately after the football games.

00:04:05.840 He said, Supreme Court opens way for rousing chants of Allahu Akbar before high school sporting events.

00:04:13.340 Ha ha, you conservatives. Because David Frum's idea here is that the conservatives,

00:04:19.140 while they're celebrating the Christian being able to pray privately after the football games,

00:04:23.740 the conservatives hate Muslims. And so if the Muslims pray, we're really going to hate that, 1.00

00:04:29.480 right? Which to me is not only false, it not only rings false, it rings extremely dated. Though I

00:04:36.720 suppose it makes sense coming from Frum, because Frum came to prominence during the Bush years. And during

00:04:41.820 the Bush years, it was at least commonly believed that the Muslims, they're our real enemy,

00:04:47.420 the radical Islamic extremists. They're the real threat to civilization. I suspect today it feels 1.00

00:04:54.540 a little bit different, doesn't it? Which group do you think poses a greater threat to your way of

00:05:01.480 life and to your kids and to your rights and to your country? Do you think it's the Muslims or do you 1.00

00:05:06.740 think it's the radical leftists? I got to tell you, these days, if I'm saying, what's the most

00:05:12.640 immediate threat? Look, Islam, Muslim groups have been invading the West since the seventh century. 1.00

00:05:20.400 So I'm not saying there's no threat there. Battle of Lepanto, Battle of Vienna, Battle of Poitiers.

00:05:26.040 There, listen, this is a longstanding tradition, okay? But today, right now, in the year of our Lord,

00:05:30.940 2022, what poses the greatest threat to me? Islam or radical leftism. It's radical leftism. 0.98

00:05:37.520 No question about that. We're talking about schools. I would much sooner send my child to

00:05:42.620 a madrasa than I would send him to most woke public schools. Because whatever differences I 0.73

00:05:48.700 have with the Muslims on matters of theology, philosophy, and the like, at least the Muslims

00:05:55.440 aren't going to try to convince my son he's a little girl, okay? Whatever disagreements I have

00:06:02.140 with the Islamic world, frankly, the claims that are made by radical leftism, boys are secretly girls. 0.57

00:06:10.220 Babies aren't really babies. Everyone who built our civilization is evil. There is no God. All the

00:06:18.080 claims of the radical left are way more dangerous than whatever claims are being made by the Muslim

00:06:26.100 world. But people don't quite get that. People don't quite, they really believe, someone like

00:06:31.980 David Fromm, I guess, or the rest of these guys, they really believe that conservatives, we just

00:06:37.380 hate Muslims. And it's just not true. Is it true? Ask yourself. If you are a conservative, if you're

00:06:44.620 a center right, is that really what you think the fear is, Allahu Akbar at high schools? A Muslim or a Jew 0.99

00:06:53.060 are making a private prayer? No, I think the far greater risk to our civilization comes from

00:06:58.260 atheism. The libs are especially blind on issues of faith and morals. You saw this yesterday

00:07:04.780 on The View, you know, that forum of elevated public debate, The View. Joy Behar made the claim

00:07:13.260 that we are now living, because of decisions like the one yesterday, we are now living in a theocracy.

00:07:19.040 Don't we have separation? No, we don't anymore. I mean, Clarence Thomas needs to have a seance

00:07:25.000 and have Thomas Jefferson there and Alexander Hamilton. Hello? Yeah. Do we still have a

00:07:31.200 separation of church and state here as in the Constitution? Yeah. It's the First Amendment 0.67

00:07:36.020 guarantee, and we don't seem to have that anymore. Well, we're in a theocracy right now.

00:07:40.040 Six of the nine. That was an amazing clip from The View, because nothing they said was true,

00:07:45.560 and everything they said was false, and they managed to fit many, many false and ignorant

00:07:50.760 statements into about 20 seconds. Joy Behar says, do we still have separation of church and state?

00:07:58.420 We never had a separation of church and state. That's not real. Tuck that one away with the

00:08:03.500 boogeyman. That's never existed. Is that still in the Constitution? It is not in the Constitution.

00:08:09.160 Right now, pull up the Constitution, full text of the Constitution. Do a search for separation of

00:08:16.120 church and state. You will not find it. Yeah, it's in the First Amendment. The First Amendment has

00:08:20.700 something called the Establishment Clause, which says that there won't be a nationally established

00:08:24.840 church. The reason for that at the time of the ratification of the Constitution is that the states

00:08:30.260 had established churches. It's not a firm separation of church and state. Let's get Jefferson on the phone.

00:08:36.440 Jefferson did use that phrase one time in a private letter. Let's get Hamilton on the phone.

00:08:40.860 Hamilton was not some great defender of the separation of church and state, because it's not

00:08:44.160 possible. Joy Behar says, we're living in a theocracy now. We're not. I mean, would that it were so simple.

00:08:52.980 We are living in an extremely religious, increasingly totalitarian state. It has

00:09:00.460 very extreme moral claims. But it's not a Christian theocracy, that's for sure. 0.92

00:09:09.620 It's a different kind of religious state. All politics is, in a certain sense, theocratic,

00:09:15.420 because everyone's making claims about human nature and how we're supposed to live together

00:09:18.720 and what society should look like and what morality is. But the only difference is that now,

00:09:24.240 instead of living in a Christian theocracy or a Muslim theocracy or Jewish theocracy, 0.95

00:09:28.700 we're living in a theocracy of leftism, in a religious state of leftism. I don't know if you've seen

00:09:37.360 Rockefeller Plaza recently. In Rockefeller Plaza in New York, one of the most famous scenes in New York,

00:09:43.940 all of the American flags have been replaced by gay pride flags. I don't know if you've seen

00:09:50.380 London recently. Any photos coming out of London? All of the British flags have been replaced by

00:09:55.960 rainbow flags, pride flags. Those are moral claims. Those are religious claims. The religious claims

00:10:05.280 that men can secretly be women. That's in the new trans pride flag. The religious claim that 0.69

00:10:10.960 men and women are not meant for one another, that the purpose of our bodies and our sexuality is not

00:10:16.380 to come together men and women and produce babies, but to just have whatever sex gives us pleasure, 0.81

00:10:22.220 whatever sort of titillates us. Those are religious claims. Maybe you agree with those religious claims,

00:10:26.660 but you have to at least admit they are religious claims. And the state is elevating them. The state

00:10:32.740 is elevating them so much that we're getting rid of our old flags, the symbol of our nations,

00:10:37.460 and replacing them with the new flags of a liberal empire based on new liberal international

00:10:43.900 transnational values that are just as true in Tahiti, according to the libs as they are in our own

00:10:48.760 countries, and flags that stand for morals, a certain moral view that happens to be at odds with the

00:10:56.580 traditional views of our civilization. It's theocratic, it's extremist, it's totalitarian, just not the way

00:11:04.980 that the libs are pretending that it is. And when things are going haywire like they are right now,

00:11:09.740 you want to protect your property and your prosperity and your wealth. That's why you

00:11:14.600 got to check out Birch Gold. Right now, text Knowles to 989898. Our nation's authorities are

00:11:20.680 openly admitting to having completely missed the flashing red lights of inflation and this

00:11:26.380 administration's failed economic policy. Quote, I was wrong about the path inflation would take.

00:11:31.640 That's what Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said. There have been unanticipated and large shocks

00:11:36.740 to the economy that have boosted energy and food prices and supply bottlenecks that have affected

00:11:41.440 our economy badly that at the time I didn't fully understand. That's what the Treasury Secretary is

00:11:45.660 saying. Didn't fully understand. There you have it. Straight from the horse's mouth. I didn't fully

00:11:51.100 understand. Now, I know that you are worried about affording basic necessities in the months to come.

00:11:56.360 Food, gas, shelter. But she didn't know. She didn't know. It's not her fault. Goes without saying.

00:12:02.100 You can't trust these so-called authorities on economic policy, which is why you should invest

00:12:06.600 at least some of your money in gold and silver with Birch Gold Group. Protect your savings from

00:12:44.600 Speaking of foreigners, I've got really bad news. I'm sorry I have to report this to you. 1.00

00:12:50.520 As a result of the Dobbs decision, hundreds of thousands of babies per year will now be saved

00:12:58.740 from being murdered. That's true. And the people of the states get to choose their own abortion laws, 0.99

00:13:06.080 which is something, that's a right that they have not had since 1973. But on the flip side of that,

00:13:13.140 Pokemon-y might leave the country.

00:13:16.980 Yes. The Roe vs. Wade news is absolutely terrible. I tweeted about it. I RT'd a couple things. I

00:13:27.700 faved a couple things. It's just tough because...

00:13:30.140 What more can we even say at this point? We've said it all. It's depressing. I booked a ticket back

00:13:42.880 to Canada. Like, you know?

00:13:46.020 No, Pokemoney. Pokemoney, you're going back to Canada? No. How can you... First question,

00:13:53.060 just before we move on. Who is Pokemoney? I don't know. I saw this headline come up. I had not heard

00:13:57.580 of Pokemoney. I had heard of Pokemon, the Japanese cartoon, but I had not heard of Pokemoney. She is

00:14:04.140 a Twitch streamer. And not only is she a Twitch streamer, she is not American. She is, from my 0.98

00:14:12.880 very modest Googling, she is Moroccan and Canadian. But she's in America right now, and she's very upset

00:14:22.280 by the Dobbs decision to save the babies. And why is she upset? She can't quite articulate it.

00:14:27.280 She says, what is there to say? For someone like Pokemoney, probably there's not quite a lot to say.

00:14:31.460 And she says, I'm going back to Canada. Okay. All right. I think that's fine. Why do I care what

00:14:43.620 Pokemoney thinks? I certainly don't. Even further, why should I care what a Moroccan Canadian thinks 1.00

00:14:51.600 about my laws? Why should I care about that? And why should I care that this foreign Twitch streamer 1.00

00:15:00.660 is now going to leave my country because she's so angry that we're not going to kill quite so many 0.99

00:15:05.120 babies? Why should her opinion have any effect on me whatsoever? It does not. She has influence on

00:15:13.340 some people, but not with me. She's not the only foreigner who's weighing in on this issue.

00:15:19.480 We've got Mr. Macron, Emmanuel Macron, the leader of France, who is very upset about the Supreme Court's

00:15:27.600 decision in Dobbs for some reason. And he tweeted out, quote, abortion is a fundamental right for all

00:15:33.460 women. It must be protected. I wish to express my solidarity with the women whose liberties are

00:15:38.640 being undermined by the Supreme Court of the United States. Now, the irony, there's so many layers of

00:15:45.680 irony to Macron's statement. But the top line is, in France, abortions are only allowed for any reason

00:15:52.780 up until 14 weeks. Up until 14 weeks. The law in America, the Mississippi law that brought the Dobbs 0.99

00:16:00.600 decision to overrule Roe v. Wade to let the states make their own abortion laws, the Mississippi law

00:16:06.960 bans abortions after 15 weeks. Abortion is more restricted in France than it is in Mississippi,

00:16:18.080 which is the center point of this case. And yet Macron weighs in and goes, this is terrible what

00:16:23.440 you Americans are doing. You are getting rid. You are making your abortion laws almost as restrictive 0.74

00:16:30.520 as a fundamental right. Abortion, obviously, is not a fundamental right. But even if it were,

00:16:38.340 America would be, even in Mississippi, would be protecting that right more than Macron is.

00:16:44.500 Denmark's prime minister, Mette Fredriksson, Mette says, my heart weeps for the girl. I'm not going to

00:16:50.520 do a Danish impression. I just don't have, my Danish accent is not quite so good. My heart weeps for the

00:16:56.860 girls and women of the USA. Whenever I don't have an accent, I just do Jordan Peterson. My heart weeps

00:17:00.960 for the girls and women of the USA. Huge setback. The right to a free abortion is one of the most

00:17:04.980 fundamental rights there is. Wow, they're really escalating the rhetoric. It's not just abortion,

00:17:11.620 safe, legal, and rare. Every abortion's a tragedy, but we have to permit it for some reason. 0.99

00:17:15.540 Then it became no abortion's a right. Now it's abortion's one of the most fundamental rights there is.

00:17:21.820 Life is the most fundamental right there is. Without the right to life, no other rights can

00:17:27.940 possibly exist. Now the libs are inverting that. They're saying the right, quote unquote,

00:17:33.120 to kill your own child is one of the most fundamental rights. Does that seem coherent to 0.70

00:17:37.640 you? Not to me. She goes, we must never compromise the unrestricted right of women to decide over their 1.00

00:17:44.280 own bodies and future. You know the irony here? Layers and layers of irony. You probably are guessing it.

00:17:51.820 In Denmark, unrestricted abortion is only allowed up to 12 weeks.

00:17:58.660 The Danish laws on abortion are much more restrictive than the Mississippi law.

00:18:06.920 It's so ignorant. It's they just don't either. They don't know what our laws are,

00:18:14.960 the laws that they're weighing in on and pontificating on, or they just want to hold us

00:18:20.820 to a different standard than they're holding themselves. The one good thing here, outside of

00:18:26.520 the ignorance and presumption of Macron and this, and Fredrickson, is it shows you just how important

00:18:34.620 the Dobbs decision is. Because the Dobbs decision doesn't just affect America. Because America isn't

00:18:41.480 just a nation. America is in fact an empire. And everyone around, if you've ever traveled around

00:18:48.000 the world, especially near an American election, you will know that virtually every other country

00:18:53.960 on earth treats the American election as very important to their own countries. Treats the

00:19:00.260 American election as though they are part of an American empire, because in many ways they are.

00:19:03.900 And so when America does something like this, when America radically changes course and says,

00:19:07.800 you know, we're not, we're not going to outlaw abortion, unfortunately, just yet, but we are

00:19:12.120 going to restrict abortion and allow the people to make their own abortion restrictions.

00:19:17.460 That has reverberations outside of just the United States. That has reverberations throughout the

00:19:24.380 world. Even just in the fact that America in its foreign policy now will be more reined in in

00:19:29.520 promoting abortion, because there is no national right to an abortion. There is no constitutional right

00:19:34.600 to an abortion. Speaking of foreigners, another big win from the Supreme Court, not the U.S. Supreme 0.99

00:19:41.640 Court, but the New York Supreme Court, which just yesterday ruled that a law in New York City allowing

00:19:48.760 non-citizens to vote is unconstitutional. And it's not unconstitutional according to the U.S.

00:19:55.320 Constitution. It's unconstitutional according to the New York State Constitution. This was Judge

00:20:00.980 Ralph Porzio of the New York Supreme Court for Long Island ruled that the city violated the state

00:20:07.600 constitution, which says that every citizen is entitled to vote. But if you're not a citizen,

00:20:13.540 you are not entitled to vote. And this is a big deal. The law allowed an estimated 800,000 to 1 million

00:20:21.860 non-citizens, illegal aliens living in New York City to vote. And I should be even more precise 0.56

00:20:31.600 with my language here. It's not just that this law was aimed at allowing people who cross the border

00:20:36.600 illegally from Latin America to vote. We're talking about non-citizens who have legal status. We're 1.00

00:20:42.360 talking about non-citizens who have a green card, but they're not citizens. The law would have allowed 1.00

00:20:48.900 them to vote in the city elections. There are only 6.7 million people voting age in New York City.

00:20:57.860 So then you're going to allow another million people who are foreigners to vote. Obviously,

00:21:03.300 that is going to swing elections. And the court came in and said, no, you don't have the right

00:21:08.860 to do that. We are going to protect our elections. We are going to protect our people. We are going to

00:21:15.460 protect our sovereignty. We're going to have a real country, guys. That's been the takeaway

00:21:22.920 from the past couple of weeks. You get to practice your religion. Some woke lunatic isn't going to

00:21:29.760 tell you no. You get to exercise your Second Amendment rights. Some woke lunatic isn't going

00:21:34.120 to tell you no. We're going to protect our babies. We're not going to tolerate killing a million babies

00:21:39.200 a year, upwards of a million babies a year, just because the Libs want us to. We are going to

00:21:43.640 protect the integrity of our election. We're going to have a real country, folks. And that's really,

00:21:50.060 really great news. Now, speaking of foreigners, there is another aspect to all of this, which is

00:21:56.600 not getting a ton of play in the media, but we should mention it now so that when tragic events

00:22:03.660 come to pass, we will at least have predicted them. All of this consternation that everyone's

00:22:09.800 talking about, all of the rancorous debates in our country over the court decisions is giving up

00:22:15.060 the perfect timing to this news story. Ghislaine Maxwell is on Suicide Watch. Now, you know,

00:22:24.020 tomorrow we've got Backstage Live coming to the Ryman Auditorium, the historic Ryman Auditorium

00:22:28.780 in Nashville. If you haven't seen it in person, take a listen.

00:22:33.780 Welcome to the Daily Wire Backstage Live at the famous Ryman Auditorium.

00:22:38.680 It was amazing. We were in the presence of greatness.

00:22:41.780 The energy of having everyone on the same page was amazing.

00:22:45.180 If your family member is still waiting for Fauci to give them permission to leave their house,

00:22:50.180 it might be time to cut that off. I'm actually pretty excited to meet all of them. I love

00:22:54.240 everybody's opinion individually. I don't have a favorite. I like them all.

00:22:57.020 I had found out a way to make football players cry in high school. My high school experience

00:23:02.000 had been a lot. I'm just excited to be here and be surrounded by like-minded people and to just,

00:23:08.080 you know, feel that energy. Who should we remove from office? One politician. The most powerful

00:23:13.020 politician in the country. Dr. Fauci. What are you talking about? We're doing culture here. I'm so

00:23:18.400 thrilled to see this happening. If they say to half of the country, you can't, that half of the

00:23:22.840 country needs to say, screw you, we will.

00:23:24.600 Head on over to dailywire.com slash Knowles right now. Get 25% off your new membership today. That's

00:23:39.520 tomorrow, 8 p.m. Eastern to find out what's next. We have some pretty big stuff coming down

00:23:45.120 the pike. We'll be right back with a lot more. I'm pretty sure Hillary Clinton has already sent 1.00

00:24:01.820 her condolences on the future suicide of Ghislaine Maxwell. It's so sad that she will have killed

00:24:07.420 herself very soon. Ghislaine Maxwell, the romantic and business partner of Jeffrey Epstein, procurer

00:24:17.140 of young girls, madam for Creepy Petto Island. Ghislaine Maxwell has been placed on suicide watch.

00:24:24.620 She is therefore prohibited from reviewing legal materials prior to her sentencing for her crimes.

00:24:30.600 She is not being permitted to meet with her counsel. She will be formally moving on Monday for an

00:24:39.700 adjournment. This is according to her attorney, Bobby Sternheim. According to the attorney, this is

00:24:46.680 what's really weird. Ghislaine Maxwell is being placed on suicide watch despite not being suicidal.

00:24:54.260 It's according to the attorney and a psychologist who evaluated Maxwell backed up that assessment,

00:24:59.760 according to Reuters. So Ghislaine Maxwell says she's not suicidal. Her attorney says she's not

00:25:05.560 suicidal. A psychologist that independently came in and assessed her says she's not suicidal.

00:25:11.480 But the government says she's suicidal. And so she's going to have all these new restrictions placed on 0.84

00:25:17.800 her and hope she's okay. Hope a couple cameras don't go out. Hope those guards don't accidentally

00:25:24.760 sleep through their duty while Hillary just sneaks in the back and chokes the ever-loving life 1.00

00:25:29.640 out of her with her own bare hands and then walks out in a groucho classes or something and never is

00:25:34.680 Ghislaine heard from again. I don't know if Ghislaine Maxwell will be suicided or not. Or you know if

00:25:41.140 she's just really secretly depressed and will off herself. The only thing I would point out from a 0.51

00:25:46.580 political perspective, if someone means to do Ghislaine Maxwell harm, if, for instance, Ghislaine Maxwell

00:25:54.040 has extremely damaging blackmail on the most powerful people on earth, and she, she, almost she alone

00:26:01.000 has it, this would be a good time to offer because everyone is focused on everything else. Everyone is

00:26:08.040 focused on the repeal of, or the overturning rather, of Roe v. Wade. This is the most important Supreme

00:26:12.760 Court development on one of the most contentious social issues in 50 years. That would be a good time.

00:26:18.740 The end of the term, the fireworks from the Supreme Court, you've got the midterm elections coming up,

00:26:24.120 you've got this crazy economy at war in the Middle East. There's a lot going on in the news that could

00:26:28.840 distract people if certain influential people or institutions or corrupt politicians or whoever

00:26:36.060 want to, want to off Ghislaine Maxwell. I'm calling it now, Ghislaine Maxwell did not kill herself. 0.97

00:26:45.600 Speaking of weird sex stuff, there was a, there have been a number of protests of the Dobbs decisions,

00:26:53.820 politicians screaming, young women protesting with babies and fake blood and things like that.

00:27:00.520 Women in Dallas took a different tack. They protested the Dobbs decision by, by twerking 1.00

00:27:08.220 everywhere in public. Just a lot of twerking. It seems to all be women. Or generally sort of 1.00

00:27:20.600 androgynous people. They're all twerking on each other. My, my body, my choice. 0.98

00:27:28.640 People kind of rolling on the ground and shaking and jiggling. There, there were various screams

00:27:41.060 and cries of the sort of, you know, slut walk chants. You forget about, I don't want to be a 1.00

00:27:46.480 mother down with the patriarchy. I'm a, I'm a proud slut and a hoe and all that kind of stuff.

00:27:51.620 My only take on these protests, the ladies, if they want to twerk, I suppose they can twerk. 1.00

00:27:59.400 My only take on the protests is if you are just a normal person, right? And you don't pay a ton

00:28:04.600 of attention to politics and you, you're not a pro-life advocate going out in the street,

00:28:10.560 praying rosaries in front of Planned Parenthoods. And you're not a pro-choice activist, a pro-abortion

00:28:15.480 activist who's going out there and, and making your voice heard. If you're just a kind of ordinary

00:28:20.960 person in the middle who goes about your daily life and goes to work and takes care of your family

00:28:25.340 and you see this and you see that, is that going to convince you to join their cause?

00:28:33.500 I don't think so. I don't think it will. The, the women who are going out there and jiggling and 1.00

00:28:39.960 twerking and screaming, I think they misunderstand what ordinary people want. I don't think that ordinary

00:28:46.480 people want to be just degenerate, promiscuous, degenerates there. I guess it's a little redundant,

00:28:55.060 but I don't think that's what most people aspire to be. And even if the twerking in the protest is

00:29:00.500 ironic, they seem to believe that the conservatives are, are trying to protect babies just because we

00:29:06.360 hate women or we, or we hate sexuality or we were really, if you look at pro-life people,

00:29:13.940 you'll notice they tend to have a lot of kids. They're not, they're not sex negative. Okay.

00:29:21.400 They're pretty sex positive. They just realized that sex is supposed to exist within certain

00:29:26.040 constraints. The fact that sex is so very important to our nature, which the libs have been telling us

00:29:30.860 for so, so long. I mean, that's behind the transgender movement. That's behind the whole 1.00

00:29:33.780 rainbow movement. They're saying sex is so important that we've got to take it very seriously.

00:29:37.520 That's what the pro-lifers are saying. They're saying, yes, sex is very, very important.

00:29:40.920 And it's a very powerful force and it can go off the rails like those ladies in Dallas are showing 1.00

00:29:46.260 you. And so we've got to make sure it remains within certain confines so that it can be ordered

00:29:51.060 in the right way. And we can channel that and don't end up like them. I hope these women keep 1.00

00:29:55.560 twerking. I think every time one of these women jiggles, we get another pro-life activist. Every time 1.00

00:30:00.220 someone sees one of these people shaking around, we're going to get another Republican vote in November.

00:30:06.120 However, the libs are very upset at this idea of limiting our sexual desires and behaviors. 0.76

00:30:13.460 Business Insider, I think they've rebranded just to Insider. This is a very far left-wing

00:30:19.200 news outlet. They're very upset that Gen Z right now is going to be having less sex. Actually,

00:30:29.180 Gen Z doesn't have a lot of sex. They have very open, promiscuous views on sex, 1.00

00:30:32.280 but they have less real-life actual sex than previous generations. Headline,

00:30:37.540 Swearing Off Men and Avoiding Intimacy, Gen Z Reconsiders Sex in the Wake of a Post-Roe World. 0.99

00:30:45.400 Madeline V might be done with men altogether. A 24-year-old marketing assistant who identifies 1.00

00:30:50.660 as bisexual, Madeline, who asked that Insider only use her first name, has decided that sticking to

00:30:56.440 female partners may be the safest sexual route these days. It's not a fear of men, exactly,

00:31:01.480 that has inspired this young woman to consider swearing off an entire gender. It's the heightened 0.99

00:31:05.600 fear of unwanted pregnancy and a subsequent lack of options that has forced Madeline to proceed with

00:31:11.240 sexual caution in the wake of Friday's Supreme Court decision gutting federal abortion rights

00:31:17.380 protections. So Insider, this left-wing outlet, is writing this as though this should be horrifying to

00:31:25.320 everybody. It's just like those people at the top of the show. And this is, it's not that she fears and

00:31:32.680 hates men. It's that she doesn't want to have an unwanted pregnancy if she's not allowed to kill her 1.00

00:31:39.420 child. So now she's going to be a little more sexually cautious. Great. Good. Good. That's sort of 1.00

00:31:48.200 the point. That's good for the baby, obviously, the baby who will not be killed through abortion.

00:31:55.000 But it's good. It's good for society that we won't have this sexual chaos everywhere. 0.96

00:31:58.760 But it's good for Madeline. It's good for Madeline too. Does anybody still seriously believe years after

00:32:06.200 Me Too, years after the enough is enough movement? Does anyone seriously believe that hookup culture

00:32:14.960 is really, really good for women? The article goes on. I wish I could read the entire article for you.

00:32:20.020 They say, quoting a young woman, surprisingly enough, I've actually had dreams where I'm pregnant

00:32:24.800 and I can't find a way to take care of myself. Adeline said, correcting herself, saying the visions were

00:32:30.320 more akin to nightmares. She can't find a way to take care of herself. What about a husband? Have 1.00

00:32:39.460 you thought if you become pregnant, it's probably not going to happen because you sit on a toilet 1.00

00:32:45.120 seat. If you become pregnant, it's going to happen because you have sex with somebody. What if, 1.00

00:32:49.500 hear me out, I know this is crazy. What if you do what everyone did throughout all of human history

00:32:55.760 until about 40 years ago and marry that person? And then you don't, you don't need to worry about

00:33:01.980 just taking care of yourself. You will have a husband who will go out and make money for you

00:33:06.200 and provide food and shelter for you. And you can raise the family and you can, you can do some work

00:33:10.960 yourself as well, but you won't have to carry that whole, whole heavy load yourself. You'll have

00:33:15.860 what, something that's called a family. So family, this is an old fashioned concept. It existed,

00:33:21.680 well, as recently as, I don't know, a couple of decades ago, but a family is when people,

00:33:25.760 come together in something called a marriage and a marriage, I know we've, we've changed all the

00:33:30.240 definitions and we, nothing means anything anymore, but a marriage is when a man and a woman come

00:33:34.840 together and they love each other ideally. And then they produce a child like you're saying,

00:33:39.520 you know, well, that part would have come first, but whatever, that's okay. And you come together

00:33:43.700 and then you live together and you can even make more children and you can have a good life if you

00:33:47.600 want. Or, or you can just continue to live alone in a sort of miserable, isolated, alienated

00:33:54.980 existence, working for some other guy at a company, another guy who doesn't care about you and will

00:34:01.480 throw you under the bus the second that you're no longer profitable to him. And you, instead of

00:34:06.020 sleeping with a hundred different men, none of whom care about you at all, you can just sleep with

00:34:11.140 your husband. And instead of killing your own children, you can actually give birth to them and 0.66

00:34:15.460 raise them and have a loving, wonderful existence. I know it's radical and crazy. I'm not even,

00:34:20.980 I'm being obviously somewhat, somewhat humorous here in the way I'm describing it, but I actually

00:34:27.200 think people probably do need to hear it. I actually think that the younger generations who

00:34:32.960 have been raised in the madness of the sexual revolution and in the wake of the sexual revolution

00:34:37.480 probably don't think about these things all that much because the hookup culture is just,

00:34:42.480 it's just ubiquitous. It's just the way that things are. The idea of getting married young and

00:34:48.360 staying married and having kids and having a good life, it's, it's a foreign concept. Frankly, it was,

00:34:54.080 it was a somewhat foreign concept. Even when I was a teenager growing up in liberal places,

00:34:58.380 I can't even imagine now. Ever since the draft decision was leaked, Adeline has had to entirely

00:35:05.980 rethink whether or not she wants to start having sex, telling insider that she's terrified to make

00:35:10.460 a choice that could leave her with an unwanted child. Good. Catherine said, she's been left to 0.94

00:35:17.320 reevaluate the consequences of casual sex that have suddenly become very real.

00:35:23.140 Awesome. Great. She says, as much as I want to have fun in my twenties, what happens to me when

00:35:27.640 the fun stops? What happens to me when I might be in need of an abortion and can't access that?

00:35:33.020 What happens when the fun stops? Great question to ask yourself. In hookup culture, if you're just

00:35:37.540 hooking up, you don't just bring up that stuff right away normally, she said, but when it comes to

00:35:42.780 if you're actually going to sleep with someone, I think at this point that definitely needs to be

00:35:46.900 addressed. This is really great stuff. The hookup culture is terrible for everyone. It's very

00:35:53.240 enticing. It's very tempting. I know it seems fun at the time, but ultimately it's not fun and it makes

00:35:57.660 everybody miserable. It's also probably the primary driver of the rape culture hysteria that was going 1.00

00:36:04.860 on in recent years and the Me Too movement and all of that. None of that would have been possible

00:36:09.320 without a culture that encouraged promiscuous sex. Obviously, rape would still happen, 1.00

00:36:13.880 but the idea of a rape culture, this pervasive, endemic sort of men exploiting women and pressuring

00:36:21.020 women and Harvey Weinstein saying, come on up to my hotel suite and these drunken rendezvous that occur 1.00

00:36:26.320 all over colleges and bars where consent is very unclear and the lines that people want to engage in,

00:36:33.540 they're blurred lines. None of that would be possible without the sexual revolution and a culture 1.00

00:36:38.600 of promiscuous sex. And the consequences of that have been disastrous, especially for women. But the

00:36:44.900 main reason I want to bring up this article is not even all of that. It's to remind conservatives of a

00:36:50.880 very important truth. Namely, culture very often is downstream of politics. You know, Andrew Breitbart

00:36:59.340 had that famous line, politics is downstream of culture, which is true in as much as the movies matter and

00:37:05.920 the press matters and books matter and private civic associations matter. Yeah, that's all true.

00:37:12.220 But politics is downstream of culture is a slogan. And like all slogans, it cannot convey the whole of

00:37:20.300 reality. And if politics is downstream of culture is taken to its extreme, it's nothing more than an

00:37:28.380 excuse for conservatives and libertarians to ignore the political order and actual

00:37:34.320 government and the power that the people happily give us on occasion. Culture can be downstream of

00:37:42.220 politics too. The example that I frequently use is East and West Germany. East Germany was conquered by

00:37:50.380 the Soviet Union for the latter half of the 20th century. West Germany remained free, remained part of

00:37:57.540 the West. West Germany has very high rates of people who believe in God today. East Germany is almost entirely

00:38:06.380 atheist. Why is that? Is that because of regional variations in bratwurst and Bavarian donuts? No, it's because

00:38:15.680 East Germany was dominated by an officially atheist regime for 40 years. That's why. These women are showing you this 1.00

00:38:24.280 right now. They're saying, gosh, you know, when the law was a certain way, I engaged in this kind of

00:38:29.820 behavior in my private life. But now that the law is different, I'm going to, I'm going to behave in a

00:38:35.820 different way. This is something that we have known throughout all of history and that somehow

00:38:40.300 conservatives and libertarians forgot for the last 30 or 40 years. But the law is a teacher. The law

00:38:47.180 shapes society. Conservatives and libertarians especially are so good at understanding incentives,

00:38:52.500 but we seem to forget that when it comes to the law. When you create legal incentives for certain

00:38:59.020 behaviors, you get more of them. When you create legal disincentives for certain behaviors, you get

00:39:03.440 less of them. The incentives and disincentives created by Dobbs are absolutely magnificent and we

00:39:10.580 should double down on it, have much more pro-life legislation throughout the states. It will not only be

00:39:16.520 good for the babies, though it obviously will be. It will be good for everyone involved.

00:39:23.940 Speaking of the birds and the bees, there was a Lib Blue check, Carrie Gose. Gose? I don't know. 0.97

00:39:31.280 Haven't, haven't heard of her before. She tweeted out something that I think really typifies the

00:39:37.440 misunderstanding and misinformation going around the Dobbs case. She said,

00:39:41.120 reporters and editors, reporters and editors, it is not a fetal heartbeat. At six weeks, it is cardiac

00:39:51.280 activity, no organ has formed, in an embryo. It's not a fetal heartbeat. Stop reporting on these laws

00:40:00.900 that protect life after there is a fetal heartbeat. It's not a fetal heartbeat. It's cardiac activity in

00:40:06.740 an embryo. And cardiac, of course, is a synonym for heart. So it's a heart, it's a heart active,

00:40:13.100 it's a heartbeat. In an embryo, which is a synonym for a fetus. So it's a heartbeat in a fetus. And

00:40:20.100 by the way, fetus is just the Latin word for offspring, for child. So what's the difference?

00:40:26.060 What's amazing? This woman, she said it's not. It would be like saying, hey, hey, hey,

00:40:31.960 reporters, stop reporting on submarine sandwiches. Stop reporting on a delicious Italian sub. It's an

00:40:42.640 Italian hoagie. That's not an Italian sub. That's a Calabrese hoagie. You say, well, I know you're

00:40:52.660 using different words, but the words are referring to the same thing. And the libs have to change all

00:40:59.400 the words. This is the topic of my book, number one, national bestselling, speechless, controlling

00:41:03.840 words, controlling minds. Thank you to all of you who went out and bought it. This is the topic of

00:41:07.380 my book. The libs, because the facts run against their arguments, the only recourse they are left

00:41:14.400 with is to change the words and hope that people get confused. And sometimes a real problem for the

00:41:21.040 libs is that they believe their own euphemisms. They forget the purpose of those euphemisms, which is

00:41:27.500 to deceive people. And they end up deceiving themselves. They violate one of the most important

00:41:32.220 rules. It was the best advice my mother ever gave me when I was a young boy. And I was becoming very

00:41:36.820 cocky because I'd gotten a good grade on an exam or something. And she said, Michael, don't believe

00:41:42.760 your own press releases. That's very good advice. Don't believe your own press releases. The libs are

00:41:47.820 believing their own press releases. They are high on their own supply. And it's a political detriment to

00:41:53.160 them because they're actually not fooling anyone else. They're no longer fooling the Supreme Court.

00:41:58.620 They're no longer fooling the majority of Americans. If you look at polling, they only appear to be

00:42:03.580 fooling themselves. And the more they change the words, the more they seem to babble incoherently.

00:42:10.080 Hence, you get, well, actually, before I even get to our vice president, I do want to get to our

00:42:14.060 vice president. But before I get to her, I have to read this poem from probably the most prominent

00:42:20.080 poet in America right now. This is that young girl who spoke at Joe Biden's inauguration.

00:42:26.680 This is probably the most praised, lauded, fetid poet in America right now. She has 1.6 million

00:42:32.820 Twitter followers. Here is her take on the Dobbs decision. I have to try to not laugh while I read

00:42:40.540 this. We will not be delayed. We will not be masquerade to the tale of a hand made. We will

00:42:52.780 not let Roe v. Wade slowly fade because when we show up today, we're already standing up with the

00:43:01.420 tomorrow we made. Let's get to work. And then it's a link to some pro-abortion thing. 0.87

00:43:09.460 Not exactly Wordsworth. Not Shakespeare here, is it? One, at a grammatical level,

00:43:19.440 we will not be masquerade. This woman doesn't know what the word masquerade means. 1.00

00:43:26.320 A masquerade is a noun or a verb. You can masquerade as someone else. You cannot be masquerade.

00:43:38.040 So she doesn't know what that word is. She then misspells hand made. She spells it H-A-N-D-M-A-D-E,

00:43:43.420 not M-A-I-D. And then she rhymes made with made with the same spelling. Not very great poetry.

00:43:53.500 Then she follows it up. She says, pregnancy is a private and personal decision. It should never

00:43:58.780 require the permission of any politician. She's not a poet and she don't even know it. 1.00

00:44:06.420 But also, just the claim she's making at the top, pregnancy is a private and personal decision.

00:44:10.360 It's not. It's not. Whatever you think about abortion, you can't say it's a private

00:44:13.780 and personal matter. Pregnancy, by definition, involves another person. That's what makes it 0.84

00:44:19.640 pregnancy. It is pregnancy because it involves a baby. If it doesn't involve a baby, then it's just 0.96

00:44:26.920 you have some growth in you. You have a polyp or something. What makes it a pregnancy is the other

00:44:32.120 person. Completely incoherent. And the libs gobble this up. They don't know what it means. The poet

00:44:38.200 doesn't know what it means. They don't really have any interest in finding out what things mean. They

00:44:42.580 just go with the flow of the things that sound nice and they're not exercising their higher levels

00:44:50.380 of thinking, which is why they're getting out foxed right now. It's sort of fine by me.

00:44:54.480 Kamala Harris, our intrepid vice president, was just asked, hey, the number one issue for voters is 0.78

00:45:00.060 not abortion. It's not the Dobbs decision. It's not religious liberty. It's the economy and inflation.

00:45:06.060 What are you guys doing about inflation and recession? Now inflation is is really high.

00:45:13.440 Are you concerned about a recession? The administration said that they weren't that

00:45:18.140 worried about the about inflation. And then that changed. I think that there can be no higher

00:45:24.940 priority than what we have been clear is our highest priority, which is bringing down the costs

00:45:31.340 and the prices as much as we possibly can. And we will stay focused on that.

00:45:36.060 Kamala Harris, I think, is doing her impression of that poet. There can be no higher priority than

00:45:42.600 what is our is our priority and is the handmade and the way and the V and them. She's she's just

00:45:50.740 repeating the question. She's just repeating the she's making the first part of her statement.

00:45:58.700 There can be no higher priority than. And then she just repeat what is our highest priority? 1.00

00:46:04.660 Sort of tautological, isn't it? Isn't that a truism? Yes, it's true. There can be no higher

00:46:10.040 priority than what is their highest priority, but they can't articulate what the highest priority is.

00:46:14.980 And I think it's because they don't know. They don't have any answers. It is a failure of

00:46:20.460 understanding. It's not even this isn't just me throwing bombs, calling these people idiots.

00:46:24.380 They might be idiots. But that's that's sort of beside the point.

00:46:28.100 They simply do not get even what the question is right now. They do not get what is motivating

00:46:35.740 conservatives. They do not understand what is motivating the opposition to them. And so if

00:46:40.740 they don't get that part, they're certainly not going to be able to figure out how to solve anything

00:46:45.760 or how to beat us. And that's fine by me. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show. See you tomorrow.
