The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1037 - Biden's Favorite Dude In A Dress Wants To Trans Your Kids

00:00:00.000 After weeks of dismal news for Democrats, from the courts, from the economy, and most of all

00:00:06.540 from public opinion polls, the American left has decided that the best way to turn their bad luck 0.72

00:00:12.240 around and salvage the midterm elections is to put a transvestite bureaucrat on television 1.00

00:00:17.940 to demand that parents trans their little kids. Gender-affirming care is life-saving,

00:00:24.680 medically necessary, age-appropriate, and a critical tool for health care providers.

00:00:32.260 As a pediatrician, when it comes to making sure kids are healthy and happy,

00:00:37.300 I know how important care that affirmed someone's true identity can be.

00:00:43.580 I feel sorry for Richard Levine, that guy. I'm not being facetious when I say that. I truly feel

00:00:50.340 sorry for him. He is obviously a tortured and extremely confused man, and he is being encouraged

00:00:56.100 by powerful people in his delusions. Until recently, I felt sorry for Mr. Levine in the same way that I

00:01:03.860 feel sorry for all sick people. Pure pity. Recently, that has begun to change. I still feel sorry for him,

00:01:13.120 but I am beginning to feel sorry for him in the way that I feel sorry for a criminal.

00:01:17.420 I feel genuine sorrow for criminals, even though they do evil things. I feel sorry for criminals

00:01:25.260 precisely because they do evil things, because they are harming themselves and others and leading bad

00:01:33.180 lives. But I also want to stop them from doing what they are doing because they are hurting other

00:01:40.440 people too. Richard Levine is now pretty clearly hurting other people. He is using his position

00:01:48.380 of authority in the federal government to encourage parents to sterilize their little kids and mutilate

00:01:54.540 their bodies and give them all sorts of irreversible injuries just so that he can validate his own

00:02:00.080 disordered sexual desires and delusions. He is encouraging innocent little kids to be permanently

00:02:06.780 disfigured into ghastly caricatures because he doesn't want to accept reality. A sane society would put this

00:02:15.100 man in counseling. An upside-down culture puts him in a dress and makes him the assistant secretary for

00:02:21.380 health. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:02:23.780 Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment yesterday is from Voyage to the Inner Mind who

00:02:36.980 says, there was an article explaining that because abortion is becoming illegal, it will decimate the

00:02:42.500 pickup hookup culture. My response, that's perfect. Another win. That's true. That's called an added

00:02:49.180 benefit. You know what that's really called? That's called culture is downstream of politics.

00:02:53.720 We all say politics is downstream of culture. There's some truth to that.

00:02:56.980 What we're seeing now is culture being downstream of politics. The court makes a decision. The Congress

00:03:02.080 passes a law. The government does something and then new and improved, perhaps, cultural behaviors

00:03:09.120 follow. Good stuff. We got to love it. We want people to do the right thing and to be able to flourish

00:04:32.040 In an upside down culture, falsehood is called truth and evil is called goodness and ugliness

00:04:40.720 is called beauty. That's what happens. And we always focus on the first two. We focus on now how

00:04:47.160 the left tells us that lies are the truth and the truth is lies. We focus on how the left inverts

00:04:54.120 the moral order and says that bad things are good things and good things are bad things.

00:04:57.520 Just as important though, and frankly, even more manifest, more obvious to our senses is that last

00:05:05.880 part. The fact that in an upside down disordered culture, the culture begins to worship ugliness,

00:05:12.160 begins to shun beautiful things and worship ugliness. And that is what is going on in our

00:05:18.220 culture right now. I actually proved the point sort of inadvertently yesterday. I was reading some

00:05:26.940 article online and a picture by Picasso popped up. It was the picture, the weeping woman from 1937.

00:05:34.120 And it's one of those sort of first thing in your mind goes to Picasso paintings where it's all weird

00:05:39.680 angles and shapes and cubes and all this kind of weird jumbly stuff. And I remembered that Picasso

00:05:46.100 was an amazing painter. He actually was an amazing, incredible painter who could paint real great works

00:05:52.280 of beauty. But he did all the really beautiful paintings very early in his life. There's one

00:05:58.220 painting in particular, it's called Science and Charity that he painted 40 years prior or something,

00:06:03.460 I think 1897, 1896, 1897. He was 15 or 16 years old and he painted this pretty beautiful painting.

00:06:11.700 And I asked this question on Twitter. I said, why would a painter who can paint a beautiful painting

00:06:17.960 choose to paint an ugly painting? Why? And it was just a modest question about the development of

00:06:25.300 American art. I'm sorry, the development of Western art broadly, though we see this in particular in

00:06:30.560 America. And the libs lost their mind. The libs lost their mind. I am still getting notifications

00:06:38.840 of angry blue check libs screaming at me, calling me a Nazi, saying that this is how I'm an idiot on 1.00

00:06:47.740 culture. This is just the worst vituperation I have seen in response to any tweet. It was a simple 1.00

00:06:54.260 question. Why would someone who can paint beautiful art paint ugly art? And they lost their minds.

00:06:58.940 And I did have a little bit of a suspicion that they might lose their minds because it's not merely

00:07:04.960 that the left has a slight preference for ugly stuff over beautiful stuff. It's not merely that

00:07:11.340 the left likes kind of weird modern art over traditional beautiful art. It's that the left

00:07:17.300 worships ugliness. They shun beautiful things and they exalt ugly things. It is a cult of ugliness.

00:07:27.820 You see this everywhere throughout the culture. You see this in left-wing fashion. Left-wing fashion is 0.95

00:07:34.280 get rid of beautiful stuff. Wear ugly, weird, disordered stuff. You see this in the way that

00:07:39.320 people treat their bodies. When you see leftists protesting, having a mostly peaceful protest,

00:07:45.280 do they usually have their hair done very nicely, put on a little bit of lipstick? No. Usually,

00:07:51.000 they're mutilated and they've got all sorts of piercings in places that they shouldn't be and all

00:07:55.800 sorts of excessive tattoos everywhere and insane hair. It's an intentional disfigurement.

00:08:02.800 It's an intentional mutilation of what could be beautiful. You see this in left-wing art,

00:08:08.000 obviously. You see this in left-wing architecture, the radical modern architecture. It's never

00:08:12.220 beautiful. It's always just weird. It's weird and ugly and disfigured. Why is that? Why is that?

00:08:20.160 It's because these things go together because goodness, truth, and beauty go together. They're

00:08:25.200 the transcendentals, okay? If you're attracted to one, if you like one and you're pursuing one,

00:08:30.220 you're probably going to pursue the other two as well. The inverse is also true. If you're living

00:08:33.880 in a life and in a culture mired in lies and an inversion of the moral order, it's also going to

00:08:41.860 be ugly too. You see it in advertising now, especially. In left-wing advertising, they've

00:08:46.940 gotten rid of all the beautiful models and they replaced them with ugly models, intentionally ugly 1.00

00:08:50.400 models. You see this throughout the culture. If you call them out for it, they call you a Nazi.

00:08:56.800 The argument for this is they say, well, the Nazis also didn't like bad art. You say, well,

00:09:05.380 okay. I mean, Stalin didn't like bad art. He was a communist. Actually, the guy who wrote the book

00:09:11.860 on this very question, who shunned the crappy modern art and liked good, beautiful traditional art, 0.79

00:09:17.460 is Max Nordau, who is not only not a Nazi, but he was a Jew. Not only was he a Jew, but he was 0.96

00:09:22.220 one of the leaders of worldwide global Zionism. So I don't think, is that guy a Nazi? No, well,

00:09:29.760 but some Nazi said, well, Hitler drank water. No, we're making a point about art here.

00:09:35.620 And the very fact that people, that the left reacts in this way, two beautiful things. They

00:09:40.460 tear down beautiful statues. They close up beautiful works of art and they replace it

00:09:47.140 with ugliness. That's not good. It's just a good signpost to know, okay, we're dealing with a

00:09:54.040 radical leftist inverted culture. You take men who might look perfectly fine as men. You dress them up

00:09:59.260 as caricatures of women, not real women, but caricatures. Think of drag queens, okay? And vice 1.00

00:10:05.080 versa. Now, speaking of stupid art, I saw the dumbest political cartoon I think I've ever seen 1.00

00:10:09.520 in my whole life in the Washington Post. This was a cartoon by Ann Telnais. And it was based on this 1.00

00:10:18.560 Supreme Court decision in Kennedy versus Bremerton school district that just came out. This is about

00:10:22.840 the coach praying privately on the field after the game and said, if you're okay with this,

00:10:29.300 that's the coach praying to God on the 50 yard line. You should be okay with this. And it was a

00:10:36.000 pentagram surrounded by candles in some sort of black mass on the high school football field.

00:10:44.240 To which I would respond, no, you shouldn't. No, those are not the same. Having a private prayer

00:10:53.680 to God is not the same as having a satanic ritual on a football field. And the reason they're not the

00:10:59.800 same is not even just procedural. It's because God and the devil are different. Those are different

00:11:06.180 things. If you pray to God, right, it does not necessarily follow that you would support

00:11:12.860 worshiping the devil. Actually, the opposite would follow because it's not merely the form of things

00:11:18.620 that matters, but it's the content of things that matters too. And actually, if we have a culture that

00:11:25.380 does worship God, then a lot of other things are going to follow. We're going to support a more

00:11:31.760 traditional moral order, more traditional behavior, more traditional standards of beauty

00:11:35.660 and decency and behavior. Those things are all going to follow. It's not merely the opposite. It's

00:11:41.500 not anything goes. You can't simultaneously have all of these things. You can't have a culture

00:11:50.040 that worships God and the devil simultaneously. You can't have a culture that says that a man is a man

00:11:54.820 and a culture that says a man is a woman simultaneously. You can't have a culture 0.96

00:11:58.460 that does opposite things simultaneously. You've got to make a decision. The question is,

00:12:03.040 what kind of culture do you want to be? You want to be the beautiful culture or do you want to be

00:12:07.300 the ugly, disordered, disfigured culture? Me, if you ask me, I want the former. But we can talk 1.00

00:12:13.120 about it. When you want to talk about it, we got to go check out Pure Talk. Right now, go to

00:13:32.700 providence, there's one last little coda to the Dobbs story, the decision that overruled Roe v. Wade

00:13:39.800 that I have to get to, I mentioned that there were some strange coincidences on the day of the

00:13:45.840 Dobbs decision. The day the decision came down to end the quote unquote constitutional right to

00:13:51.640 abortion after 49 years that will save hundreds of thousands of babies per year and give a path

00:13:57.380 to potentially abolishing abortion throughout the country. The day that that happened was the feast 0.97

00:14:03.520 of the sacred heart of Jesus. Now, if you're a Christian, you might say, wow, that's quite a

00:14:08.540 coincidence. The day that that happened, also traditionally, the feast of the nativity of

00:14:14.440 St. John the Baptist, who in the gospel leaps in his mother's womb when Christ in his mother's womb

00:14:21.240 approaches him. This is one of the clearest gospel examples of the prohibition against abortion.

00:14:29.640 Do you see the little baby, little baby John the Baptist is leaping in the mother's womb and 0.98

00:14:33.160 dancing because his savior, also a little fetus, is near him? That's quite a coincidence too.

00:14:39.980 And then I saw on CNN the night before there was a report that on the 24th, on the day of the Dobbs

00:14:45.720 decision, there was going to be a rare alignment of five planets. The stars, the planets are aligning

00:14:52.440 on this particular day. I said, wow, that's kind of a weird coincidence. And then a listener pointed this

00:14:57.280 out to me. In the article, in the article on space.com with the photo that everyone is posting

00:15:04.220 about this planet alignment, the photograph was taken by Wright Dobbs. Just a little, I'm not asking

00:15:14.860 you to follow me like a beautiful mind and I'm making all the connections here on some whiteboard

00:15:18.580 or something. Just pointing out that's quite a coincidence. That's a nice little coincidence.

00:15:24.560 My priest who wrote a book on coincidences, Father George Rutler, he pointed out that it's an evil 1.00

00:15:30.980 generation that looks for signs and wonders, but it's a stupid generation that ignores signs and 1.00

00:15:35.500 wonders. And sometimes you see these little signs, these little coincidences in your life. 1.00

00:15:40.260 And I consider them, I don't look always for the deeper meaning and what does this mean? And what

00:15:44.960 does this mean for how I should behave tomorrow? And I just look at it as a little wink of providence,

00:15:50.140 a little wink of, oh, hey, don't forget, there's an order here. There is a logic to the universe.

00:15:58.680 Things are unfolding in a way that has logic to it. So just a nice little wink. It makes you,

00:16:04.840 it gives one comfort. Not because it tells you how to predict the future. Not supposed to do that.

00:16:11.460 Not because it gives you some secret leg up on the other people who don't know how to interpret the

00:16:16.220 signs. It's not, that's not what it's about. It's just to remind you there is a God. There is an

00:16:22.940 order. There is providence. That's a good thing. That's a good, that's, that's a, that's a nice

00:16:27.540 little consolation to have in the world. Speaking of the Dobbs decision, MSNBC is still rending its

00:16:35.980 garments and gnashing its teeth over the Dobbs decision. And now they're beginning to set the

00:16:39.940 stage for attacks on the Supreme Court. You've got Joe Scarborough, who is the fake Republican,

00:16:44.240 one of the fake Republicans on MSNBC. Though these days, I don't know if he would even call

00:16:48.420 himself a Republican. He was a Republican congressman many moons ago. And now he's a

00:16:53.180 liberal commentator on MSNBC. He went so far as to say that the Dobbs decision constitutes violence.

00:17:00.200 It wasn't just the holding, taking away a fundamental right over the past 50 years.

00:17:07.160 They found the tone to be confrontational. And anyone who has followed the Supreme Court,

00:17:12.580 anyone who has read constitutional law knows that most justices, especially in landmark decisions,

00:17:20.120 bend over backwards to explain how this is not a radical move. This is, this is, we are moving

00:17:27.320 forward and we're moving in the direction that this country has been moving in and we understand their

00:17:33.360 problems, but this is what, and they'll round off some of the harsher edges. They will give something

00:17:38.960 to their opponents, uh, their, their, their legal or ideological opponents. There was none of that

00:17:44.860 there. I, I've got to say more than any Supreme Court decision I've ever read. Uh, it, it,

00:17:52.240 it was, uh, even the language, there was a violence to the reasoning. We win, you lose,

00:18:00.620 we're taking away these rights and there's nothing you can do about it.

00:18:04.660 What is Joe Scarborough talking about? Forget what he's saying about Dobbs for a second. Just

00:18:10.740 historically, I, I don't know what he's talking about. He's saying that in landmark decisions

00:18:15.400 that can reverse major other decisions, usually they're really modest and moderate and gracious

00:18:20.760 and find some middle ground. What are you talking about? Think about Brown versus Board of Education.

00:18:26.160 Brown v. Board of Education reverses Plessy v. Ferguson and, uh, says no separate but equal is,

00:18:32.340 it's not, it's not really going to work. It's not actually equal. And so we're going to get rid of

00:18:36.140 it. This is a decision that everybody supports now. Does, does Joe Scarborough believe that that

00:18:42.160 should have been a more modest decision? Well, maybe, maybe we're only going to integrate some

00:18:46.740 bathrooms. Well, maybe, listen, we're, we're going to integrate some water fountains, but not others

00:18:52.200 because we're going to be really great. No, of course, nobody would suggest that. That would be

00:18:55.440 insane. You're, if it's a landmark decision, you are making a claim. You are making a big claim and

00:19:02.720 it's going to have big effects. How about some of the bad decisions? How about some, how about

00:19:07.340 Roe v. Wade? Was Roe v. Wade, uh, was certainly a landmark decision. Was that really gracious and

00:19:12.720 soft and conciliatory to the other side? No, it resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands

00:19:17.740 of babies a year immediately and pretended that there is a constitutional right to an abortion when

00:19:21.760 there isn't one. If there's ever a violent decision, that's the one, that's the most violent

00:19:27.840 decision ever in the history of the judiciary. How about Obergefell? Obergefell, which redefines

00:19:35.200 marriage for the first time in human history away from what it had broadly always been into something

00:19:40.900 completely different. Was that a conciliatory, modest, gracious decision? Of course not.

00:19:46.080 That was a spiking the football. For goodness sakes, Anthony Kennedy in that said that at the heart of

00:19:50.520 liberty lies a right to intimacy, a right to intimacy. And then he starts waxing poetic about

00:19:57.220 how marriage really, when you really think about it, you know, isn't what people always thought it

00:20:01.460 was, but it's actually a union between two dudes and two chicks as well. Because I don't know,

00:20:06.420 because that's what Anthony Kennedy thinks. Do you think that was conciliatory? No, of course not.

00:20:10.360 Of course not. And in this case, this decision was not particularly conciliatory either because it was

00:20:17.500 saying, look, there's, there is no constitutional right to an abortion and there's no way to,

00:20:22.160 pardon the phrase, split the baby here. Okay. Either there is a constitutional right to an

00:20:26.200 abortion or there isn't, there isn't one. Therefore it's going back to the States. It's going back to 0.95

00:20:31.540 the people and you guys can deal with it. Fairly conciliatory in the sense that the people get to

00:20:36.820 make their own decisions in California. If they want to have 17th trimester abortions that I guess 0.99

00:20:41.040 can have them now, at least for the time being. But no, there's no middle ground here. And Joe

00:20:47.480 Scarborough and the rest of the liberals are just really upset that the court is not going to enshrine 0.93

00:20:52.760 some fake right to kill babies anymore. And so he calls it violent. He calls not killing babies

00:20:58.660 violent. And he is calling it violent to justify attacks on the court. It's the same reason that the

00:21:05.580 left calls language that they don't like violent. They say when a conservative shows up to a college

00:21:09.860 campus, that constitutes an act of violence. The reason they say that is to justify their own

00:21:14.120 actual acts of violence, their own physical violence on the speakers, which happens with

00:21:20.480 regularity. It's happened to me. It's happened to a great number of other conservative speakers

00:21:25.140 on college campuses. Speaking of dumb takes on the Dobbs decision, have to get to Whoopi Goldberg's. 0.96

00:21:33.300 Whoopi Goldberg on The View discussing Clarence Thomas's concurrence, which I'm sure she 0.87

00:21:39.800 hasn't read, to the majority opinion, which again, I'm sure she hasn't read, for the case that I'm

00:21:44.840 sure she doesn't understand. And why Clarence Thomas was so dumb to side with the conservatives. 0.98

00:21:50.820 Well, you better hope that they don't come for you, Clarence, and say you should not be married 1.00

00:21:55.560 to your wife who happens to be white. Because they will move back. And you better hope that nobody says, 0.90

00:22:02.680 you know, well, you're not in the Constitution. You're back to being a quarter of a person.

00:22:06.140 Because that's not going to work either. What? What does any of that mean? First of all,

00:22:13.380 she says, Clarence, Clarence, you better hope that they don't come after you next.

00:22:19.960 Who is they here? The they to whom you are referring is Clarence Thomas. Clarence Thomas

00:22:26.940 is the one who knocks, okay? Clarence Thomas is the one who issues these decisions. And no,

00:22:32.940 no one's coming after Clarence Thomas. You're going to try to get him to divorce his wife,

00:22:36.320 other than the libs, because the libs hate his wife, Ginny, because she's an effective 0.99

00:22:39.320 conservative activist. And then she says, what? Now, pretty soon, they're going to make you a

00:22:43.880 quarter of a person again. Are you, is whoopie referring to the three-fifths compromise? Not the

00:22:52.940 one-quarter of a person, but the three-fifths compromise in the Constitution that said for

00:22:57.280 purposes of representation in the federal government, enslaved portions of the population will be 0.83

00:23:01.980 counted by three-fifths. Is that, does she understand even what that was? It doesn't mean

00:23:08.900 that black people were three-fifths of a person. Actually, it was the slave states that wanted to 0.99

00:23:14.260 count the black people as whole people. And it was the free states that wanted to count black people 0.64

00:23:19.180 as no people, not because the slave states really liked the black people and the free states didn't

00:23:24.720 like the black people, but sort of the opposite in many ways, because the slave states wanted greater

00:23:29.820 representation in the federal government in part because it would enshrine slavery and the free

00:23:33.800 states didn't want that. We could go on and on. The, the, the misunderstanding of the three-fifths

00:23:39.660 compromise or in whoopie's words, the one-quarter compromise is, is one of the most irksome and

00:23:44.840 frivolous aspects of ignorance in, in our culture today. But the real issue here, I mean, one, this is

00:23:52.200 why the left attacked civics class, but, but two, American self-government is not possible. It's 0.53

00:23:59.960 nearly impossible with this level of ignorance among the elite, not even among the people broadly,

00:24:06.460 but among the elite. Whoopi Goldberg is on television, on a network public affairs show,

00:24:12.420 on a show where, where they discuss political issues almost exclusively in an ignorant way, 0.89

00:24:18.080 in a, in a destructive way. But the fact that she doesn't have any idea what she's talking about,

00:24:24.480 even about the most basic aspects of the constitution, is a real threat. Because if,

00:24:30.140 if this is the basis for our political discourse, then we're, we're not even speaking language anymore.

00:24:35.040 We're not, not only is it sort of ugly and a little bit, a little bit off kilter,

00:24:39.120 it's completely incoherent. If it's incoherent, we can't govern ourselves.

00:25:44.040 Welcome to the Daily Wire Backstage Live at the famous Ryman Auditorium.

00:25:48.900 It was amazing. We were in the presence of greatness.

00:25:51.920 The energy of having everyone on the same page was amazing.

00:25:55.300 If your family member is still waiting for Fauci to give them permission

00:26:02.240 I'm actually pretty excited to meet all of them. I love everybody's opinion individually.

00:26:05.620 I don't have a favorite. I like them all. I found out a way to make football players cry

00:26:10.560 in high school. My high school experience would have been a lot.

00:26:13.560 I'm just excited to be here and be surrounded by like-minded people

00:26:16.860 and to just, you know, feel that energy. Who should we remove from office?

00:26:21.180 One politician. The most powerful politician in the country. Dr. Fauci.

00:26:25.400 Dr. Jeff, what are you talking about? We're doing culture here. I'm so thrilled to see this happening.

00:26:29.760 If they say to half of the country, you can't, that half of the country needs to say, 0.96

00:27:10.120 Welcome back to the show. Speaking of our elite, Ghislaine Maxwell, the business associate,

00:27:28.940 paramour, and madam for Jeffrey Epstein has just been sentenced to 20 years in prison. But I got to tell

00:27:35.800 you what, something tells me she's not going to serve her entire term, her entire sentence. No,

00:27:43.400 I don't think that Ghislaine Maxwell is going to be in prison for 20 years. I think she's probably,

00:27:50.060 I think it's going to be shorter. And I don't think it's going to be shorter because of parole,

00:27:53.820 unless parole is the new nickname that we're giving to Hillary Clinton. I don't think so. 0.85

00:27:57.740 But I think that, you know, you're going to see a FedEx truck pull up. You're going to see some kind

00:28:04.320 of shadowy figure in a nice purple pantsuit with Groucho glasses on and a big thick mustache walking

00:28:12.560 in there, kind of bulging at the hips. And then the cameras are going to go out. And then the guards

00:28:18.280 are going to fall asleep. And then it's just me and you, Ghislaine. That's right. It's old hill dog

00:28:25.360 again. You thought you were through with me, Ghislaine? I don't think so. No, Hillary, no,

00:28:30.960 please. Hillary, I'll do anything. That's, no, I'm, I'm possibly joking. I'm not quite sure. But I

00:28:37.080 don't think she's going to serve her whole term. They already put her on suicide watch, even though 1.00

00:28:41.800 her attorney says she is not suicidal. Another psychologist who examined her said she is not

00:28:46.000 suicidal. That's, that's ominous that they would put her on suicide watch already. Maybe she makes it.

00:28:51.400 I don't know that she'll be assassinated or kill herself or whatever. But the entire process has

00:28:59.160 been really, really weird. All the way back to the first prosecution and investigation of Jeffrey

00:29:04.960 Epstein, where he got this ridiculous sweetheart deal down in Palm Beach because the U.S. attorney

00:29:10.040 heard from his higher ups that Epstein belonged to intelligence. That's the, that's the testimony of

00:29:17.660 Alex Acosta when he was up for labor secretary, but he had been U.S. attorney down there in Florida.

00:29:22.600 Then Epstein basically was just checking in at the, at the county jail in Palm Beach. And then he was

00:29:28.360 going about living his life perfectly fine. Then he finally, there was too much of a media storm. He does

00:29:34.000 get arrested and he winds up dead in prison because just all those cameras malfunction and the lights and

00:29:39.700 the guards and whoopsie daisy. What, what can you say? That's too bad. These people who have the

00:29:44.800 blackmail and the extremist form of blackmail on the most powerful people in the world, then all of a

00:29:53.080 sudden you get the arrest of Ghislaine Maxwell. And yet we haven't seen very much from the trial.

00:29:57.000 We haven't heard very much from the trial. And most importantly, we don't know who's in the book.

00:30:03.540 That's all I care about. I don't care if Ghislaine Maxwell serves her sentence. I don't, I don't really

00:30:08.180 care about Ghislaine Maxwell at all. I don't really care about Jeffrey Epstein at all. I want to know

00:30:12.380 about the operation. I want to know who was funding the operation. Jeffrey Epstein had a lot of money

00:30:17.620 and no one really seems able to, to explain where the money came from. Were there other backers? Were

00:30:24.340 there other private backers? Were there state backers? What does it mean that he belonged to

00:30:27.760 intelligence? That's kind of weird. And then here's what I really want to know before Ghislaine puts

00:30:32.980 on the orange jumpsuit and waits for Hillary to come and knock it. Who's in the book? Who's in the book?

00:30:39.240 Who are the clients? Who went, who was going to the island? What did they do? When did they go?

00:30:46.000 How many times were they on the airplane? That's what I want to know. And yet that's the only

00:30:50.500 information we can't seem to find. And everybody seems in on it. The federal investigators, the

00:30:57.060 prosecutors, the everybody seemed, the media for that matter. Why don't we know who is in that book?

00:31:03.520 We got her. We got her. She's in the orange jumpsuit. She's just been sentenced.

00:31:07.880 Why are they closing the book? Why is there some sweetheart deal here that keeps all of these

00:31:12.440 clients out of the media spotlight? It, it, the reason I'm making some jokes about Hillary Clinton

00:31:20.600 here. The reason that people are making those jokes and not jokes is because we don't have any trust in

00:31:26.360 the elite because this case in particular, and so many others are so obviously crooked and corrupt.

00:31:32.360 That's why, because we don't think that we can believe the federal government. We don't think

00:31:37.740 that we can believe the justice system. We don't, we don't have any respect for these shadowy elites

00:31:42.980 and not so shadowy elites, fairly public figures who were showing up to the island,

00:31:47.060 getting weird massages from the little girls. That's why. And this is what, because we don't have

00:31:53.680 respect for these institutions anymore because they've squandered their credibility.

00:31:57.820 We're all expecting Ghislaine Maxwell to, to be suicided. How many of you out there,

00:32:02.720 you're thinking right now, you're listening to this show, if Ghislaine Maxwell turned up dead tomorrow,

00:32:07.640 one, would you be surprised? Two, do you think she would have killed herself?

00:32:11.060 I bet the majority of people would say, yeah, she might turn up dead. And no, I don't think it would,

00:32:16.220 I think she would be assassinated. There was the weird death of John McAfee, the eccentric libertarian

00:32:22.620 gazillionaire behind the software bearing his own name. Remember he said, I'm not,

00:32:28.300 I'm not suicidal. I'm not going to kill myself. People are trying to kill me. I might wind up

00:32:31.680 dead in a prison. And what happened? He wound up dead in a prison. He even had a tattoo that said

00:32:35.380 whacked. Jeffrey Epstein. No one thinks that Jeffrey Epstein killed himself. Very few people do.

00:32:40.420 Did you know that over 85% of grass-fed beef sold in U.S. grocery stores is imported?

00:33:20.620 There have been weird cases. There's one case, I don't know if you've seen this, it's gotten

00:33:23.740 a little bit of reporting in the mainstream media, but it's a strange one. The case of Michael Hastings.

00:33:28.860 You ever hear about this one? This was a few years ago now. Michael Hastings was a journalist who was

00:33:34.980 working on some stories about the deep state, about the alphabet letter agencies, and the secret

00:33:42.280 workings of the federal government at home and abroad. And he began to think that he was being

00:33:46.440 tracked. And he began to think that he was being surveilled. And he began to think that people were

00:33:50.900 coming after him. And then he wound up dead of a really weird car crash. And this car crash didn't

00:33:58.380 just raise the eyebrows of the tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist kooks. It raised the eyebrows of very well

00:34:03.960 respected and credentialed national security officials. The former U.S. National Coordinator for

00:34:08.760 Security, Infrastructure Protection, and Counterterrorism, Richard Clark, said that what is

00:34:14.500 known about the crash is, quote, consistent with a car cyber attack. He was quoted as saying,

00:34:20.400 there is reason to believe that intelligence agencies for major powers, including the United

00:34:24.280 States, know how to remotely seize control of a car. So if there were a cyber attack on Hastings' car,

00:34:30.540 I'm not saying there was, I think whoever did it would probably get away with it.

00:34:34.060 That's kind of spooky stuff that the governments could do that and that people believe that they

00:34:40.180 would have done that. Now, other people around this journalist, Michael Hastings, said, well,

00:34:44.440 he was being erratic. He had other problems. I don't know. Maybe he did just kill himself.

00:34:49.280 Maybe he did. I don't know. I don't know very much about this case at all.

00:34:52.900 That's actually sort of the, whether he was assassinated or not is almost beside the point.

00:34:57.600 The, the, the more important point for all of us is the erosion of trust that we have

00:35:04.460 in our established institutions. We think that these, these institutions could do these kinds of

00:35:10.340 things. And so we, oh, Jeffrey Epstein died. Okay. Well, he didn't kill himself. Oh,

00:35:15.100 Elaine Maxwell's on suicide. Watch. Here we go. Set your clocks. Here we go. That, that speaks to a

00:35:22.660 corrupt elite, an elite that is now so mired in lies and wickedness and ugliness and all the stuff

00:35:33.060 that we don't want in society, that the society has become unrecognizable. And they wield a lot 0.91

00:35:38.100 of power. You want to talk about corrupt elites? There are two really great attorneys, really good,

00:35:44.940 top quality attorneys who just won a major victory for the second amendment at the Supreme Court.

00:35:50.520 I'm talking about the New York state rifle and pistol association, the Bruin case, the case that

00:35:56.660 said that New Yorkers do in fact have a right to keep and bear arms. So they go up there and make

00:36:01.020 the case to the Supreme court and they win. This is a landmark victory in a well-ordered, just good

00:36:08.700 society. These guys would get a promotion. The, the lawyers, Paul Clement and Aaron Murphy would have

00:36:15.960 corner offices right now, bigger, even bigger, better offices. They'd probably get a little bonus.

00:36:21.300 What actually happened? They both got fired. They both got fired from their law firm. I think they

00:36:26.100 were at Kirkland and Ellis because the firm came to them and said, Hey, yeah, you can't be defending

00:36:31.720 the second amendment. That's very politically incorrect. So, Oh, that's great. That's cool that

00:36:36.140 you're winning this case. And that's great. Wow. What a big victory for the constitution. And you're

00:36:40.940 going to go down in history because of this, but yeah, you got to pack up your desks. Here are a

00:36:44.840 couple of boxes, pack up your desks, get out of here. You're done. Which makes me think DW should

00:36:51.060 really hire these people, you know, new in-house counsel, Paul Clement. Yes. Here we go, baby. We,

00:36:56.800 we uncanceled Gina Carano. We're going to uncancel Paul. We're going to uncancel Aaron. That's right.

00:37:02.160 We're going to, we're going to have Supreme court litigators who win historic cases. We're going to

00:37:06.400 have them as our in-house counsel. I, I wish, I don't, I don't, I think probably these two lawyers

00:37:11.620 have other things going on. They'll probably just start their own practice, but it would be funny.

00:37:15.760 It would be great. I would really, really enjoy that. Speaking of losing jobs,

00:37:20.080 the Washington post abortion reporter is reporting on a proposal from Elizabeth Warren. Elizabeth Warren

00:37:29.340 is very concerned that planned parenthood employees are going to lose their jobs because now there is no

00:37:35.840 recognized constitutional right to an abortion. There never was a right to an abortion, but it's

00:37:40.920 not even recognized anymore. And so these planned parenthoods are probably going to have to close

00:37:44.500 down. Liz Warren suggests opening up planned parenthoods in national parks. You know, you're

00:37:52.360 walking through Yellowstone or something and you, you just, you know, you see a nice little old saloon

00:37:58.500 and then ye olde abortion mill right next to it in a log cabin. She says they could put up tents, 0.52

00:38:03.920 have trained personnel, be there to help people who need it. It's time to declare a national

00:38:08.520 emergency, national emergency. Not enough babies are being killed. This is an emergency.

00:38:13.940 If we, if we don't declare an emergency soon, some of them might be born. So, okay, gosh, what will we

00:38:19.000 do? Well, the states, a lot of states don't want abortion and abortion is not protected by the

00:38:24.700 constitution, obviously. And so, okay, let's take over the parks. Let's take over anything,

00:38:28.960 anything to kill the babies. This woman, you'll recall when that Supreme Court decision for Dobbs 1.00

00:38:34.080 leaked. She lost her mind, held an impromptu press conference, walking to her car with the fire of a 0.99

00:38:41.300 thousand suns burning behind her eyes. I am angry. Angry and upset? Angry and upset and determined.

00:38:48.480 The United States Congress can keep Roe versus Wade, the law of the land. They just need to do it.

00:38:54.780 I've never seen you so angry. You seem to be- This is what the Republicans have been working

00:39:00.600 toward this day for decades. They have been out there plotting, carefully cultivating these Supreme

00:39:08.080 Court justices so they could have a majority on the bench who would accomplish something that the

00:39:15.380 majority of Americans do not want. 69% of people across this country, across this country, red states

00:39:22.960 and blue states, old people and young people want Roe versus Wade to maintain it as the law of the land. 1.00

00:39:30.100 We need to kill the babies. She seems so unhinged in this video. This is an issue that is not the top 1.00

00:39:49.660 priority for the vast majority of Americans. Just 15% of Americans consider abortion to be the top

00:39:55.600 priority. And yet the Dems for some- And by the way, for that 15% of Americans, half of them are

00:40:01.980 pro-life, right? 7.5% roughly of those Americans who consider it the top priority are pro-lifers who

00:40:09.600 want to get rid of abortion around the country. So what are we talking about? 7-8% of Americans

00:40:14.420 consider killing babies and the desire to kill babies to be the top priority. And yet Liz Warren 0.99

00:40:22.140 doesn't get this animated on the economy. She doesn't get this animated on energy. She doesn't 1.00

00:40:26.460 get this animated on national security. She gets this animated only on abortion. It's demonic. 0.74

00:40:34.640 Just call it like it is. It seems demonic. I'm not saying the woman is actually possessed by demons. 0.80

00:40:40.600 I don't know. I'm not. It's beyond my pay grade. But she certainly seems like it in that video. 0.94

00:40:45.260 We have to. It's an emergency. I know. They're going to take my babies from me. I've got to get them

00:40:51.400 before they get away and live. It's really, really weird and evil and ugly. It's ugly. I'm 0.95

00:40:59.300 not saying Elizabeth Warren is an ugly woman physically. I don't think she is necessarily. 1.00

00:41:03.960 She has those high cheekbones that she pointed to to prove that she's a Native American. 0.71

00:41:07.780 She's not a physically ugly woman necessarily, but she becomes very ugly when she descends into 1.00

00:41:13.960 this craziness and radicalism. It's true of all of these protesters. I mean, it ties right back into 0.74

00:41:19.360 the point on Picasso and why the libs just lose their mind. Who cares? Who cares about Picasso?

00:41:27.160 Who cares about, forget Picasso for a second. Who cares about these questions of art history and the

00:41:32.220 development of art? I mean, I care in that I want to have a beautiful society, but I don't have steam

00:41:37.120 coming out of my ears. The libs do. The libs have steam coming out of their ears to defend things that 1.00

00:41:43.040 are really ugly and disordered. That's the scheme because they've got a nice ordered society that they

00:41:48.560 come into, a nice flourishing society. And then radicalism, leftism says, hey, we're going to

00:41:53.400 mess everything up. We're going to move everything around. Kind of like a Picasso painting. We're going

00:41:57.000 to move this eyeball over here. We're going to move this ear where the ear should be. We're going to

00:42:00.700 put it down on his kneecap and we're just going to move and jumble everything around. We're going to

00:42:05.380 engage in what Marx called the ruthless criticism of everything that exists. It's very, very ugly. It leads

00:42:12.300 to an ugly society. You see these protesters, they're covering themselves in fake blood and they've got

00:42:16.440 little baby dolls and they're screeching and screaming. You know that lady, when Trump won,

00:42:20.420 even beyond the abortion issue, when Trump won in 2016, she's there screaming, no, you know,

00:42:25.260 and their faces contort. There was a gal who showed up to one of our speeches years ago and she just 0.99

00:42:31.640 started screaming and shaking and yelling in the audience. It's very, it's an ugly thing to do. And if

00:42:38.500 you are the one doing it, or if you are on the side of the people who are doing that, maybe rethink

00:42:43.400 what you're up to. Morality and traditional moral maxims are a good guide here. Biology is a good

00:42:54.560 guide. You know, if your side is saying that men are secretly women, you're probably on the wrong side.

00:42:59.560 But beauty, beauty is a good guidepost too here. If you are on the side that consistently promotes

00:43:05.360 hideous things throughout the culture, you're probably on the wrong side.

00:43:11.280 Financing your first home can feel overwhelming, but TD can help make things a little calmer.

00:43:19.880 If you choose more frequent payments like weekly or bi-weekly, you'll gently chip away at your

00:43:25.980 principal faster, helping you pay less interest over time. Ready to hear more? Request a calming call

00:43:34.620 with TD Mortgage Direct and say hello to good advice.

00:43:43.220 Speaking of women who will never be president, unless Joe Biden's ticker goes, in a way I'm hoping 1.00

00:43:49.800 that Joe Biden sticks around. But Kamala Harris right now was asked about the various plans to 0.96

00:43:58.520 enshrine abortion after the Supreme Court gets rid of it. The White House appears to be rejecting

00:44:03.180 Elizabeth Warren's idea to take over beautiful national parks and use them as sites to make 1.00

00:44:07.500 sacrifices to Moloch and Baal. But they're trying to come up with other solutions. One question that 0.59

00:44:12.680 Kamala Harris was asked is, should federal tax dollars be used to fund the travel of people

00:44:20.580 in pro-life states to go to states where they can kill their children? In the way that private

00:44:24.900 companies right now are offering an insurance policy to pay for the travel of women who, let's say, 0.97

00:44:30.000 they live in Tennessee, but they want to kill their baby. They can fly to California and they'll 0.95

00:44:34.400 have a portion of their travel expenses covered. Kamala Harris was asked if the same could be done

00:44:39.140 with taxpayer dollars. What about the idea of financial resources, some form of voucher for

00:44:47.100 travel, child care services, other forms of support for people, for women seeking abortions in states

00:44:53.920 where it's not legal, but they just don't have the means to go elsewhere. I think you're asking a very

00:44:59.240 important point, making a very important point, which is what are the details that are going to

00:45:03.040 go into ensuring that women have the ability to actually travel without impairment. And we know

00:45:10.640 that on this issue, women who have access to resources will probably be far less impacted by 1.00

00:45:16.940 this decision than women who don't have resources. So this is something that we are looking at. 0.89

00:45:21.700 This is something that we are looking at here and we're going to look at it and we're going to,

00:45:26.220 and I'm so glad it was a really great question. I love great questions. And so it's really good

00:45:30.280 that you asked the question and we can look with our eyes at it, the thing that you asked me about.

00:45:35.100 She doesn't give an answer. She doesn't give an answer because she knows there is no federal right 0.99

00:45:41.840 to an abortion. And so there is no argument for the federal government paying people to go get an

00:45:50.420 abortion. That would appear to be over. That would appear to be a huge stretch. The libs lost this

00:45:58.380 issue. They're going to try to fight it tooth and nail. They're going to try to break the rules. 1.00

00:46:01.540 They're going to do everything they can to try to recreate some license to kill your babies. 1.00

00:46:09.640 But she's got, she's got no answer for it. Even, even a more articulate vice president or a member of 0.72

00:46:14.280 the administration would not have an answer for it either. The relatively prudent libs understand 0.97

00:46:21.680 that they have lost on this issue. Even, even Joe Biden, this was this, I'll give him credit.

00:46:27.920 Even though I don't think he deserves total credit, I will give him credit. When the Dobbs decision came

00:46:31.760 down, Joe Biden did not call for violence and take to the streets and get up in their faces and go

00:46:36.860 where their children sleep. Joe Biden said, you got to remain peaceful.

00:46:40.060 I call on everyone, no matter how deeply they care about this decision, to keep all protests

00:46:47.000 peaceful, peaceful, peaceful, peaceful. No intimidation. Violence is never acceptable.

00:46:56.380 Threats and intimidation are not speech. We must stand against violence in any form,

00:47:04.380 regardless of your rationale. I'm glad he said this. I'll give him credit for saying this.

00:47:09.420 I hope it's sincere. I don't know that it's sincere, but I'll at least give him credit for

00:47:15.600 saying it. I don't think the reason he said it is because it's sincere. I don't think Joe Biden

00:47:21.280 really has a ton of sincere beliefs. And he has used rhetoric that is extraordinarily irresponsible

00:47:26.700 throughout his entire political career. Don't forget when he was running for vice president,

00:47:32.840 he said that Mitt Romney wants to put black people back in chains. Okay. This is a guy who 0.97

00:47:38.040 called the president of the United States, a racist on TV, smeared some kid as a white supremacist with

00:47:43.940 absolutely no evidence. And then the kid was exonerated in court. This is a guy who is willing

00:47:49.580 to be fast and loose with his language. So I, this is a guy whose staff members fundraised for the BLM

00:47:56.580 rioters during the summer of love with the mostly peaceful arson and murder. Okay. This is a guy who

00:48:03.480 chose as a vice president, a woman who herself raised money for the rioters. So I, I, I just don't 0.72

00:48:09.640 think it's sincere. Some people say, well, look, Joe Biden down at the bottom of his heart, he's

00:48:14.080 actually a good guy. I don't think he's a good guy. I think he's a nasty, nasty man and a political

00:48:18.020 opportunist. And I actually think opportunism explains why he made this statement. I think this is the best 0.99

00:48:25.000 he can do right now. I think this is the absolute best Joe Biden can do. I think this plays very well

00:48:31.340 for him. I think he knows that coming out and being old, nice uncle Joe, and come on, let's be

00:48:35.520 peaceful folks. That's, that's part of why he became president. It's why part of why he got the

00:48:40.360 nomination is to be a nice and normal guy that screeching and screaming and saying, burn it down

00:48:46.000 doesn't play very well in Peoria, particularly at this political moment in this midterm election year.

00:48:50.880 So I think he's doing it out of convenience and opportunism because the left has overplayed its

00:48:56.380 hand. Before we go, there's a story that just broke from Chris Ruffo, who's done a great job

00:49:01.740 covering critical race theory and some of the ways that the libs are trying to groom our children.

00:49:07.620 There's a show coming out from Disney called Baymax. Apparently, I'm not totally familiar with it.

00:49:14.220 And in the new Baymax show, which is accessible to really, really little kids, what, four years old,

00:49:19.860 maybe even younger. In the show, the robot character is going shopping for tampons and asks

00:49:27.460 the women around him what tampons he should use. And he gets an answer from someone who looks like 1.00

00:49:33.160 a man, but is obviously not a man because he uses tampons. He's a, he's a transgender. He's a 0.98

00:49:37.740 woman pretending to be a man.

00:49:39.760 Excuse me, which of these products would you recommend?

00:49:48.740 Oh, um, well, these are the tampons I usually use.

00:49:54.180 Thank you.

00:49:54.760 I prefer pads. They're more comfortable for me.

00:49:57.300 Thank you.

00:49:57.680 I always get the ones with wings.

00:49:59.020 Thank you.

00:49:59.420 Get unscented and bleach free if you can.

00:50:01.420 Thank you.

00:50:01.800 Yo, my daughter loves these.

00:50:03.160 Thank you.

00:50:03.420 These might be easier if it's her first period.

00:50:05.800 These are really environmentally friendly.

00:50:07.620 And the way you know, not to put too fine a point on it, but the way you know that Disney

00:50:12.820 is really hitting it on the nose here is the dude with the tampons is wearing a transgender 1.00

00:50:17.700 flag shirt. This is, this is artwork that is being intentionally peddled to really, really

00:50:23.900 little kids where Disney executives have appeared on camera themselves and said they are peddling

00:50:27.960 the not so secret gay agenda, right? They're, they're actively pushing this stuff on kids. 0.98

00:50:32.620 It's, it's disordered. It's bizarre. It's wrong. It's also, is this good art to you? Do you think

00:50:40.300 this is good? Do you think good art is really pedantic and didactic and talks about menstruation 1.00

00:50:45.360 for little tiny children and has weird, creepy, uh, like marshmallow-y, freaky nightmare cartoon 0.96

00:50:51.500 robots next to transgender dude chicks? I don't know. I don't think that's good art. What would you 1.00

00:50:56.620 rather have your kid watch? This or Beauty and the Beast? This or Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs?

00:51:01.240 I'm not saying that art shouldn't take up challenging topics. Of course it should.

00:51:06.260 One of my favorite painters in history is Caravaggio. The guy is pretty hardcore, okay? He presents

00:51:11.120 very, uh, difficult topics, but in a way that is beautiful, ordered toward the good, that is edifying,

00:51:17.040 not that is creepy and contrary to reality and pretends that men are secretly actually women

00:51:21.820 and tries to groom the little kids. This, the art really matters here, folks. We can, we, we definitely

00:51:28.220 want to own the lives of facts and logic. We can totally do that. We definitely need to focus on

00:51:32.640 arguing from a real moral order that we can know something about the difference between good and

00:51:36.400 evil. If we don't know that, we can't have self-government, but it's also important to

00:51:40.100 focus on beauty, that third transcendental there. It's a good guidepost. And if we want people to be

00:51:46.040 conservative, if we want people to love their country, we need to give them a country that is

00:51:50.920 lovable, that is beautiful, a place where they want to be. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael
