The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1050 - AOC, The Instagram Martyr

00:00:00.000 Yesterday, 17 House Democrats pretended they were living in the late 1960s as they pretended to be

00:00:07.300 dragged away in handcuffs from a pro-abortion rally outside the Supreme Court, which they

00:00:13.020 attended so they could pretend to defend legal abortion after the court overruled Roe v. Wade

00:00:18.620 and returned the issue to the legislature. I feel like I'm doing slam poetry or something.

00:00:23.100 There's a lot of ends in there. In reality, they were not handcuffed. You can tell because both

00:00:29.080 Ilhan Omar and AOC briefly pulled their arms out of the pretend handcuff pose to make a black power

00:00:36.920 fist for the cameras for some reason before they put their hands back and returned to the charade. 0.88

00:00:44.040 Even more bizarre than the mime show that they put on was the fact that they were at the Supreme Court

00:00:50.780 at all, since the Supreme Court has nothing to do with whether or not there will be legal abortion

00:00:57.980 in America or to what degree there will be legal abortion. In the Dobbs case, the court said that

00:01:04.800 the issue is for lawmakers to decide. Lawmakers, you know, like AOC and Ilhan Omar, if they wanted to

00:01:14.540 enshrine legal abortion, these 17 House Democrats could propose a law and pass it. And the Supreme

00:01:20.460 Court would not do a damn thing to stop them. They don't do that because they don't have the votes 0.99

00:01:26.660 and they don't have the votes because this issue is a loser for Democrats. So instead,

00:01:32.480 they LARP. They play pretend. The cameras eat it up. The media eat it up. The only people who are not

00:01:40.180 buying it are the American voters. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:44.060 Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment yesterday is from Frank S., who says,

00:01:56.460 not sure why the D.C. mayor is so upset. She should be thrilled about the best doctors, 0.93

00:02:02.160 lawyers, and engineers being bused into her city. Yes, it doesn't make sense because the libs constantly

00:02:07.680 say that unlimited illegal immigration is a net positive for our country and diversity is our

00:02:14.400 strength. And these are the most wonderful people in the world. And we should all be so glad to have

00:02:18.720 them in our country, completely unvetted. And yet the libs who say that never seem to want the

00:02:25.080 immigrants in their neighborhoods or in their cities or in their communities. They only want them 1.00

00:02:31.920 in the red states and in the conservative places and in the Republican states. It's so weird because

00:02:38.280 the unvetted millions of illegal aliens are our strength and they're so wonderful for strengthening 1.00

00:02:44.480 America. And it's so great. Bring that strength over to D.C. All of a sudden, they don't want it.

00:02:49.620 Kind of tells you what they really believe. Kind of tells you the whole thing is just a big trick

00:02:54.760 for Republicans. When you want to protect yourself from people that you don't necessarily want in your

00:04:08.520 who the Democrats are fooling at this point are the squish Republicans in Washington, D.C. 0.94

00:04:14.580 I am convinced of that. You look at the approval ratings right now among actual American voters,

00:04:20.000 Democrats are in the absolute doldrums. It's pathetic. You can see through it. The fake 1.00

00:04:26.560 handcuffs from AOC and Ilhan Omar. The ginned up outrage. The lame excuses for why the economy and

00:04:35.740 the rest of the society under Democrats is collapsing. The American voters see through that. The only people

00:04:41.300 who get fooled are the House Republicans. This was so pathetic. This was so pathetic. Last night, 1.00

00:04:46.000 there was a vote in the House of Representatives. The vote was to enshrine the radical new definition

00:04:53.100 of marriage that the Supreme Court foisted on us in 2015 with Obergefell. For all of human history

00:04:59.560 until roughly seven years ago, it was understood that marriage is between a man and a woman,

00:05:08.180 man and at least one woman, maybe more than one woman in certain cultures. But at the very least,

00:05:14.060 that sexual difference, boys and girls, men and women coming together for the purpose broadly of

00:05:21.000 procreation, family building, educating children, that that was essential to marriage. And then starting 1.00

00:05:27.720 about seven years ago, the Libs said, no, actually that essential quality of marriage, that has nothing

00:05:33.880 to do with marriage. Marriage is just a union between any two people. And it's a contract just like 0.72

00:05:40.480 any other contract, but it's not like any other contract. And that's why we've got to redefine

00:05:44.740 it. And anyway, that's the new definition. What's the new definition? We can't quite tell you, but

00:05:48.060 just go with us. That's what they told us. That's what the Supreme Court told us.

00:05:52.500 And the Libs pushed it and the conservatives broadly resisted.

00:05:57.360 Last night in the House of Representatives, the Democrats brought up a vote on enshrining

00:06:02.140 this new definition of marriage, this radical definition of marriage, of the fundamental political unit

00:06:07.360 into law. And 47 House Republicans voted for it. 47 House Republicans did not vote to get the

00:06:18.320 government out of marriage, which I think is an impossibility, but it's still a broadly popular

00:06:22.560 position on the right. They didn't do that. They went much further than that. 47 House Republicans

00:06:27.920 did not vote to accept the results of the Obergefell case from the Supreme Court.

00:06:33.840 That's not what this vote was about. They did a lot more than that. They voted affirmatively to

00:06:39.900 radically redefine marriage, family, the fundamental unit of society. And they voted to do it for no

00:06:48.000 reason whatsoever. The Obergefell case is not in any way at risk. The Supreme Court made that extremely

00:06:53.520 clear in their Dobbs decision. Justice Thomas is the only judge on the court who has expressed a

00:06:59.440 willingness to revisit the Obergefell decision. None of the other judges, none of the other

00:07:03.160 conservative judges said that they would do that. They wouldn't sign on to the concurrence from

00:07:07.560 Thomas. There is no risk whatsoever at the moment or in the foreseeable future to that definition of

00:07:15.180 marriage. The Democrats only brought this issue up as a wedge issue to trap Republicans. And these 47

00:07:23.880 useless squishes took the bait, hook, line, and sinker. It is so pathetic. What are their names? I'm going to 1.00

00:07:31.940 read their names out here. Drives me so crazy. It's so frustrating that these people, they can't win for

00:07:37.700 freaking losing, these Republicans. They take the bait every time. They can't be counted on to conserve 0.94

00:07:43.140 anything at all. If you can't conserve the fundamental basic political unit, if you can't conserve the

00:07:48.840 difference between men and women, you can't conserve anything. So good, they're going to vote with us on tax 0.98

00:07:52.740 cuts. Maybe sometimes. Cool. Great. A lot of good that does. Here they are. These are their names.

00:07:57.500 Kelly Armstrong, Don Bacon, Cliff Bentz, Ken Calvert, Kat Kamek. That's disappointing. I like Kat Kamek,

00:08:03.720 but it's very disappointing what she did. Mike Carey, Liz Cheney, of course, John Curtis, Rodney Davis,

00:08:10.200 Mario Diaz-Balart, Tom Emmer, Brian Fitzpatrick, Andrew Garbarino, Mike Garcia, Carlos Guimenez,

00:08:16.680 Tony Gonzalez, Anthony Gonzalez, Ashley Hinson, Daryl Issa, Chris Jacobs, David Joyce,

00:08:22.000 John Katko, Adam Kinzinger, of course, Nancy Mace, Nicole Maliotakis, Brian Mast, Peter Mejier,

00:08:30.200 Dan Muser, Marianette Miller-Meeks, Blake Moore, Dan Newhouse, Jay Obernolte, Burgess Owens. Burgess

00:08:35.900 Owens, come on. In Utah? Utah, they're going to vote to completely redefine marriage? Scott Perry,

00:08:42.800 Tom Rice, Maria Elvira Salazar, Mike Simpson, Elise. Oh, the rest of these squishes are lucky 1.00

00:08:49.040 because my page cut out on my print. You're lucky. I know Elise Stefanik is the next one.

00:08:54.320 Okay, five or six Republicans are lucky that I don't get to read their names on air because this

00:09:00.380 didn't print correctly. Don't worry. Maybe I'll read it tomorrow. I'm just so frustrated with these

00:09:06.460 guys. One, if you don't have the moral clarity on this issue, or at least the political clarity to

00:09:17.320 know, huh, this really matters. I know a lot of Republicans want to say, oh, who cares? It's not

00:09:21.280 a big deal. You know who cares? The Democrats care. The Democrats have been putting a lot of time and

00:09:25.540 energy and focus into this issue for a long time. And they care because they know that it matters.

00:09:30.520 Because if you can redefine men and women, then you can do anything. You can take any amount of

00:09:34.880 political power. A lot of conservatives will say, well, look, I don't care about the marriage issue.

00:09:39.820 I just want to stop this crazy transgender stuff. But what those conservatives don't realize is 1.00

00:09:46.160 the transgender stuff is the marriage issue. The marriage issue leads inevitably to the transgender 0.98

00:09:53.400 stuff. Because what the redefinition of marriage says is that men and women are exactly the same.

00:09:59.380 That there is no significant difference between men and women. That's the only way that the union of a

00:10:07.040 man and a woman that we call marriage can be the exact same as the union of a man and a man. Or the

00:10:13.640 union of a woman and a woman. The only way they can be exactly the same, and we use the same word to 0.95

00:10:18.120 refer to all of them, is if men and women are exactly the same. Which is the essential premise of

00:10:23.560 transgenderism. That men and women are fundamentally the same. That's why a man can secretly be a woman and a 0.96

00:10:28.800 woman can secretly be a man. That's so frustrating that these people don't get it. But they don't 1.00

00:10:37.420 conserve anything and they don't even know how to play Washington games. The Democrats are pushing

00:10:41.440 this right now. Not because it's an urgent issue. Obergefell's not going anywhere. They're pushing

00:10:47.980 it right now because they're losing on every urgent issue before the country. So they're just trying to

00:10:53.040 find wedge votes. And they know that the Republicans are split pretty much 50-50 on this. I took my very

00:10:59.800 scientific poll on Twitter the other day. And it reflected what people who have been looking at the

00:11:05.280 numbers would expect from the GOP. The GOP is split here. And the Democrats don't want Republican

00:11:10.760 unity going into the midterms. And so these squishes here, they very easily could have said this is a

00:11:17.000 ridiculous vote. It's a show vote. You Democrats are just putting us up to it. We're not going to 0.97

00:11:22.520 take the bait. This is not an urgent issue. The Republicans could have held firm. But these ones

00:11:26.760 can't because they care much more about what the New York Times says about them than what their own 0.98

00:11:30.440 base says about them or what reality says about them or conserving a damn thing. It's just so pathetic. 1.00

00:11:36.960 The only silver lining in this confusion and disappointment regarding the public view of 0.99

00:11:42.640 marriage is Bennifer. That's the only silver lining, okay, when we're talking about marriage. Yes,

00:11:48.880 I meant to get to it yesterday. I'm so glad I could get to it today. After what, 15 years? 18 years?

00:11:56.440 Two-thirds of my life maybe? Ben Affleck and what's her name? Jennifer Lopez. Jennifer Lopez Affleck. 0.99

00:12:05.340 They finally tied the knot. So many years, 20 years after G. Lee took the silver screen by storm,

00:12:13.680 Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have gotten married. When you want to protect yourself,

00:13:32.380 us box so they know that we sent you. I actually do kind of care about the Jennifer Lopez Ben Affleck

00:13:39.200 story. I don't, I assume, I don't know anything really about these people's personal lives. I assume

00:13:44.280 they've all been married a hundred times. I'm not totally sure that the, the Bennifer marriage that

00:13:48.800 just took place is the most licit marriage in the world. I think it took place in the Elvis

00:13:52.340 chapel in Vegas somewhere and they, these guys may have been married before and anyway, whatever.

00:13:57.180 The, the aspect of the story that I find somewhat heartwarming and actually important for the public

00:14:02.660 to pay attention to is they got back together. Those kids finally worked it out. These guys were both

00:14:09.940 extremely famous, extremely successful. They were, I don't think they were married. They were engaged.

00:14:16.680 They were dating and then they broke it off and they went with all sorts of other people and I'm sure

00:14:21.680 that they gorged themselves on the pleasures of single life. And even after all of that,

00:14:29.980 they wound up back together. They realized that something more valuable than just going and

00:14:35.420 screwing around for your whole life and being single and just living for yourself, something more

00:14:39.820 valuable than that. Ben Affleck is a wealthy, famous man. He could, he could be dating or marry a 22 year

00:14:47.520 old of his choice right now. That's just the way Hollywood works. And he didn't. They, they said the

00:14:53.160 thing that's most valuable is, is that old thing to get that old thing back again. Someone with whom

00:15:00.340 you have shared experience, someone that you've lived with for a little bit to kind of come back.

00:15:05.820 I don't know the particulars of Bennifer, but I do know that's an important lesson for a lot of people,

00:15:10.280 especially in our culture, which is a swipe right culture, where you're told that if,

00:15:13.740 if you're dating someone in high school, it would be preposterous to think that you could ever marry

00:15:18.500 that person. Oh, that's crazy. That's what they did in the old days before we had Tinder. Now,

00:15:23.580 oh no, you have to break up. You for sure have to break up for college and you've got to date a

00:15:27.860 hundred thousand people. And I don't even want to use the word date. You should just be in a hookup 0.89

00:15:31.280 culture and you go out and you, you go sleep with somebody. And then maybe you introduce yourself to

00:15:36.940 that person the next morning when you wake up, possibly you go get breakfast, but you don't,

00:15:41.200 you don't really live for anybody else. You certainly don't make any decisions that would

00:15:45.400 affect your life for anyone else. You don't make decisions about where you're going to live or your

00:15:49.240 job, your career, your school. You don't do any of that for anybody else. You live entirely for

00:15:54.180 yourself and for your career and the widget factory you're going to work at. And then if a spouse fits

00:15:59.840 into that picture, that's fine. But maybe you're just going to live in a studio apartment forever

00:16:04.140 and just keep swiping right, right, right, and going on meaningless dates and have casual sex.

00:16:08.440 And then at the end you will have, I don't know, gotten the promotion at work or something.

00:16:13.980 That's what our modern culture tells everybody to do. And it's really right. You want to talk

00:16:20.000 about radical redefinitions of marriage and the relationship between men and women. That's a

00:16:23.820 radical redefinition. And what are the fruits of that? People are getting married much later,

00:16:29.240 if at all. They're having many fewer children, if they have any at all. And they're freaking

00:16:33.900 miserable. People are miserable. They're depressed. Antidepressant use is through the roof. 0.99

00:16:39.320 The average life expectancy in America is declining because of deaths of despair, because

00:16:43.660 of suicide, because of drug overdoses. Is this entirely about the collapse of the American family

00:16:50.580 and the decline in marriage and the bizarre way that we approach sex and human relationships?

00:16:54.540 It's probably not entirely that, but I bet it's a lot of that because that's the central aspect

00:16:59.500 of human life, without which all the money in the world means absolutely nothing.

00:17:06.500 Take that lesson from Bennifer. And if Bennifer is an imperfect vessel for that message, learn the

00:17:12.260 lesson anyway. And also, when are we going to get the Geely reboot? I am here for the Geely reboot.

00:17:18.380 It's been way too long. Bring it on. Speaking of heartwarming stories, this story about the hero in the

00:17:27.320 mall in Indiana just gets better and better. So there was a potential mass shooter in this mall in

00:17:34.720 Indiana. And he did sadly manage to kill three people and he injured some other people. But he only

00:17:41.300 killed three people and he only injured, I think, five or so other people because he was taken out, not by

00:17:47.800 the police, not by gun control laws, but by a good guy with a gun, a young good guy with a gun who was only

00:17:55.000 carrying a gun because of the constitutional carry laws in Indiana. So that's what we knew about this

00:18:01.240 story. Now it gets even better. 22 years old, guy's name is Elisha Dickon, and he's walking around the

00:18:10.720 mall with his girlfriend. She spots the bad guy with the gun. She says, I see a long rifle over there.

00:18:17.000 So he tells her, get down, do not get up. He gets behind some kind of edifice, a pole or something to

00:18:25.460 that effect to give him a little bit more balance and a little bit of cover. And he fires off 10

00:18:30.580 rounds from his Glock. So he empties the magazine on the Glock. He hits the guy. Some reports are

00:18:36.740 saying he hit the guy. Some reports are saying he hit the guy with all of the bullets. I can't imagine

00:18:42.460 that's the case. Some are saying he hit him multiple times. Some are saying he only hit him

00:18:47.000 once. All it takes is one hit. The craziest part here is this kid, this 22-year-old with a Glock,

00:18:55.140 with a pistol in a combat situation, hit the bad guy from 40 yards away. 40 yards away.

00:19:03.020 If any of you have any experience with firearms or maybe you go to the range,

00:19:08.960 you know that is not an easy thing to do. It's not an easy thing to do in the most peaceful,

00:19:14.460 tranquil conditions of a gun range, much less in a combat situation. Apparently,

00:19:20.220 while the kid was firing, he made sure that it was clear behind the bad guy so he wasn't going to

00:19:25.820 accidentally pop off a good guy. And he was waving for the civilians in the mall to get behind him and

00:19:32.180 to exit. This kid handled himself perfectly. And he took some amazing shots. He has no training

00:19:40.060 with the police. He has no training with the military. He learned how to shoot from his grandpa.

00:19:47.240 The reason this story really matters, other than it's amazing and they should make an action movie

00:19:51.340 out of it or something, is everybody did everything right here. Because by the way,

00:19:57.540 the girlfriend then, who the hero boyfriend saved, she's apparently a nurse. She goes and immediately

00:20:03.460 starts tending to people and caring for people. And then we only know about this because she

00:20:07.540 called her grandmother. The grandmother would talk to the reporters and the grandmother said, 0.95

00:20:11.520 you know, look, this is amazing. We're so proud of the guy. We're so proud of my granddaughter.

00:20:15.720 But it's going to be hard for this guy because taking a human life, even if it's a guilty life,

00:20:21.120 even if it's a potential mass killer, that's a hard thing to do. So please pray for him.

00:20:25.300 Please pray for everyone involved. And I read this story and I say, wow,

00:20:29.640 everybody did everything right. Other than the mass shooter, obviously. Everybody did everything

00:20:34.620 right. The kid who killed the shooter, the girlfriend who tended to the injured people,

00:20:40.680 and the grandmother who said, just pray. Please pray. I'm praying. You should pray too. Prayers are

00:20:44.800 efficacious. Everyone did everything right. My biggest takeaway from this story

00:20:49.300 is that not that these people got lucky, not what a miracle it was, though in a way,

00:20:56.280 it certainly does seem miraculous. But what doesn't seem, the part that actually makes it

00:21:00.440 seem not like a miracle is that kid was prepared. It's not just that he was carrying his gun around,

00:21:06.660 not just that he was flaunting his rights. That kid had earned the right to keep and bear arms.

00:21:12.700 That kid was exercising his right responsibly. That kid had trained. That kid knew how to use it.

00:21:19.400 Same thing is true of guns as is true of other features of life. It's not the size necessarily

00:21:26.200 that matters. It's how you use it. Okay. You can tell that with a gun. He just had a little Glock on

00:21:31.740 him, but he knew how to use it. He was very well trained. He was being a very responsible citizen.

00:21:35.980 This girl was being a very responsible citizen. That's a lesson that we should all learn. Okay.

00:21:43.640 If we want our rights, because this story completely undercuts the Libs arguments for gun control,

00:21:50.000 completely undercuts the narrative that they've been pushing very hard for a couple of months now,

00:21:56.620 but they've been pushing it for years, actually. If we want our rights, we need to know how to use

00:22:04.360 them. If we want to be a free people and we want to have self-government, we need to be capable of

00:22:08.540 that. This is why we go back to this John Adams quote a lot, but one of the implications of the

00:22:14.600 John Adams quote, when he says, the constitution is built for a moral and religious people. It's

00:22:19.000 unfit to the government of any other kind of people. Similar quotes from other founding fathers

00:22:23.000 about how if we don't practice our liberty, if we don't practice the virtues, if we are not worthy

00:22:30.460 of our liberty, we will lose it. We will lose the ability for self-government. That's just a fact.

00:22:35.380 That's how it goes. If people are not virtuous, if people are not living up to their liberty, if they

00:22:39.640 trade their liberty for licentiousness, then they're going to have a master. They're going to be in need 0.99

00:22:45.940 of a master. They're going to deserve a master. They're not going to have their rights. This is a

00:22:50.500 really, really great story, and it backs up a poll that just came out. There's a poll from the

00:22:54.660 Convention of States Action and Trafalgar Group that surveyed Americans of all political

00:22:59.900 persuasions and asked, who do you trust more in a mass shooting situation? The feds, local police,

00:23:10.340 or armed civilians? The poll was taken, I believe, before this shooting happened or before the news

00:23:16.580 reports of the shooting happened. Who do you think won? Well, let me ask you. You're in a mass

00:23:23.180 shooting situation. What would make you feel better? You've got local police nearby. You've got

00:23:27.700 the feds showing up at some point, or you've got a good guy who's trained a civilian with a gun.

00:23:33.080 What would make you feel better? It's easy, and the majority of people surveyed gave the same answer.

00:23:39.600 The good civilian with the gun. When you want to protect yourself from all these people in high

00:23:46.300 positions of authority who don't deserve that authority, who are not exercising it with prudence

00:24:16.560 I was right about what would happen with inflation. Those are the words of Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.

00:24:21.300 She said, quote, there have been unanticipated and large shocks to the economy that have boosted

00:24:25.500 energy and food prices and supply bottlenecks that have affected our economy badly that at the time

00:26:15.660 more. Who do you trust in a mass shooting? 41.8% of respondents say armed citizens. 25.1%

00:26:36.940 of respondents say the local police. 10.3% of respondents say federal agents. Then a fifth of

00:26:46.180 the people choose none of the above. Some people are surprised by this answer. What do you mean? You

00:26:50.600 trust some wild American with a gun rather than the police? Yes, of course. First of all, the libs 0.82

00:26:55.820 have been telling us for years now that the police are evil, racist Nazis who just go hunting innocent 1.00

00:27:01.660 black men for sport. The police are so unspeakably evil. That's why we need to give them a monopoly on 1.00

00:27:08.480 the weapons. Does that make sense? No, of course not. If anything, the anti-cop argument is going to

00:27:13.340 increase one's faith in the Second Amendment and one's reliance on the Second Amendment. But there's

00:27:18.140 an even more basic reason here, which is the principle of subsidiarity. It is good as a matter of

00:27:25.600 government to have the broadest number of decisions that can be responsibly made, the greatest amount

00:27:33.300 of power that can be responsibly exercised at the most local level possible. And then certain things

00:27:39.540 that the local level can't accomplish, you go up to a higher level, you go from the township to the

00:27:43.840 state maybe, or the county, and to the state, and to the federal government. And when we want to

00:27:50.720 protect ourselves, we can't merely rely on, I don't know, the FBI jumping out of a helicopter and

00:27:57.600 saving us at our mall shooting in Indiana. And we can't even just rely on the state police, and we

00:28:03.700 can't even rely on the county police, and we can't necessarily even just rely on the local police.

00:28:09.000 We need to be able to protect ourselves because self-defense is a natural right. And this is one of

00:28:15.920 the reasons why our constitution recognizes the right to keep and bear arms. The geniuses and the

00:28:21.720 pundit class who are shocked by this, who want to take away all your guns, they don't understand this

00:28:26.680 very basic principle that at least a plurality of Americans do understand. Why would you trust the

00:28:33.840 feds? Why would you, especially after what we've lived through for the past three years, COVID,

00:28:40.940 the complete destruction of our economy, even going back a little bit further, the usurpation of power

00:28:47.780 from a duly elected president, the intentional undermining of a major presidential candidate,

00:28:53.360 spying on that candidate, trying to undermine his presidential administration while he's there.

00:28:58.720 Why would we trust the feds? What the feds do, this is an amazing tactic, and the Democrats have

00:29:05.580 really perfected it. The Democrats will go in and screw everything up beyond your wildest imagination,

00:29:11.940 and then they'll pull back a little bit from their agenda of utter destruction, and they'll

00:29:19.520 loosen up a little bit, and things will get slightly better, and then they'll take credit for things

00:29:23.760 getting slightly better. That's what Joe Biden's just doing. Gas prices are through the roof and

00:29:29.860 driving lots of, well, the cost of really everything up. The gas prices are up in many ways directly

00:29:38.020 because of Joe Biden, because of his stupid energy policy, because he killed the oil pipelines, 0.99

00:29:43.440 because he killed new oil and gas leases, because he took the sanctions off Putin and gave Putin a 0.99

00:29:47.800 new oil pipeline, which directly caused the invasion of Ukraine, according to the president of

00:29:51.920 Ukraine, because Biden literally invited Putin to invade Ukraine. Biden said, if Putin just invades in a

00:29:59.540 minor incursion, that's okay, we won't do anything about that. Because of all of these, and many

00:30:04.020 other actions as well, energy has gone way, way up. Now Biden is bragging because gas prices have

00:30:14.120 declined somewhat from what we've seen in recent weeks. And the way that he's bragging about it is

00:30:20.140 even a head scratcher. He says, I've been releasing about one million barrels of oil a day from the Strategic

00:30:26.680 Petroleum Reserve and rallied our global partners to release a combined 240 million barrels of oil

00:30:31.680 onto the market. Our actions are working and prices are coming down. Classic Democrats.

00:30:37.920 The Strategic Petroleum Reserve is there in case our nation goes to war. Well, I guess we are at war

00:30:44.580 right now with Russia through Ukraine. We just haven't declared the war. We have all sorts of 0.71

00:30:49.600 wars of empire that are undeclared that we just engage in willy-nilly and that probably the American,

00:30:54.640 majority of the American people oppose. But we're not in a major existential war right now.

00:31:00.900 The homeland is not being invaded. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve is there for emergencies.

00:31:07.440 This is not an emergency, exactly. The reason that Joe Biden is releasing a million barrels of oil a day,

00:31:12.820 notably just until the end of October, is so that the Democrats can help stop the bleeding in the

00:31:18.020 midterm elections. Don't forget, when Joe Biden announced this in, what was it, April or May,

00:31:22.200 that they were going to release a million barrels of oil a day? He said, we're only going to do it

00:31:25.460 for six months. That is, we're only going to do it up until the midterm election. So it was so

00:31:30.160 nakedly political, even in the moment, he's going to deplete our strategic reserves of energy

00:31:34.600 so that he can, the gas prices can come down a very little bit.

00:31:39.820 What if he had dealt with the underlying problems? What if he had allowed American oil producers to

00:31:46.240 produce more oil rather than begging these other countries to produce more oil? What if he had done,

00:31:51.160 and so he screws up everything, and then he backs off a little tiny bit, and prices come down, what,

00:31:56.700 like 10 cents or something? And then he says, look, it's a big victory. Prices for gas today at the pump

00:32:02.980 are twice what they were on the day that Joe Biden took office. They have gone up 100 percent,

00:32:11.260 and Joe Biden is bragging about that. That's some great victory.

00:32:14.160 This is why the Republicans broadly are winning. If you look at what's happening right now at the

00:32:20.440 state level, it's unbelievable. In Kentucky, Republicans have just gained a voter advantage,

00:32:27.060 a voter registration advantage for the first time ever. Not okay, we've rebounded. It was bad

00:32:34.940 during the Bush years, and then it, I don't know, or let's say it was, you know, the Democrats made big

00:32:42.220 gains during the Obama years, but then now we're coming. No, this is the first time ever that there

00:32:47.240 are more registered Republicans in Kentucky than registered Democrats. Now, Republicans have won a

00:32:51.940 lot of elections in Kentucky, but as a matter of registered voters, the Democrats had the advantage.

00:32:57.780 There are lots of reasons for this. The charitable view is that Democrats are just much more focused

00:33:03.140 on on-the-ground community organizing kind of political action, and so they tend to register more

00:33:08.420 voters. The negative view of this is that Democrats cheat and keep a lot of dead people on the rolls

00:33:13.940 and buy a lot of voter registrations, but anyway, we'll try to be charitable on the show.

00:33:18.720 Either way, it ain't working anymore. You've now got more registered Republicans in Kentucky

00:33:23.180 than Democrats. The field is wide open for Republicans. This is why you are seeing a number

00:33:28.260 of people who might be interested in being president on the Republican side beginning to suggest that they

00:33:34.380 will run in 2024. You've seen Mike Pence make, I think, pretty unsubtle intimations this way.

00:33:44.680 Now you see it from Nikki Haley. Nikki Haley just tweeted out, this was in response to the Iran deal,

00:33:51.280 the potential reviving of the Iran nuclear deal. Nikki Haley says, if this president signs any sort of

00:33:59.700 deal, I'll make you a promise, I'll make you a promise. The next president will shred it on her 1.00

00:34:04.300 first day in office. Get it? So Nikki is as clear as I can see saying, I am going to run for president

00:34:16.040 in 2024. Now maybe it was just a throwaway line to gauge interest, but I don't know. It seems clear

00:34:22.700 to me that Nikki Haley would like to be president. She's already been governor of a state of South Carolina. 1.00

00:34:27.380 She was a very popular UN ambassador under Donald Trump. And I guess this is the real issue for her.

00:34:34.700 It's one of her great strengths. Now it's become her weakness. Nikki Haley had threaded the needle

00:34:40.340 pretty much perfectly during the Trump years. While lots of Republicans were completely destroyed by

00:34:47.860 Trump. Well, they were really destroyed by themselves and their own reaction to Trump.

00:34:51.240 Nikki Haley had done a very good job. She was a relatively moderate governor of South Carolina, 0.92

00:34:55.660 but she came into Trump's orbit. Trump named her the UN ambassador and she did a very effective job

00:35:02.800 as UN ambassador. And when she left the White House, she did so on good terms. A lot of people

00:35:07.300 who left the White House in prominent roles did so on very bad terms, but Trump really seemed to like

00:35:11.460 her and gave her a nice big press conference when she left. And she had managed to play both sides and

00:35:18.560 mollify both sides pretty well. She, but she, she made one mistake, which is she gave an interview 1.00

00:35:23.880 to Politico after January 6th, where she really attacked Trump. And this did not sit well in Trump

00:35:30.720 world. And then she tried to walk it back. So after that, she said, look, my words were misinterpreted.

00:35:36.860 And of course, look, I don't put it past Politico to, to paint a Republican in the worst possible light.

00:35:41.720 But whatever Nikki said to Politico, she then said, no, come on, this is being misconstrued.

00:35:49.320 And she said, I will not run for president if Donald Trump runs. But it seems like Donald Trump's

00:35:54.440 going to run. He's saying that he's almost certainly going to run. And now Nikki is suggesting that she

00:35:58.560 might run anyway. So she's got this problem, this political problem, which is she, she has to pick a

00:36:05.240 lane. I think at this point she has to pick a lane. And she has a good play for the moderate lane of the 1.00

00:36:11.620 Republican Party. She's probably the leading moderate candidate in the Republican Party. 0.99

00:36:16.400 But the problem for that is it's not a moderate year, probably. If the election were held today,

00:36:20.620 the moderate candidate almost certainly would not win. Now she could make a play for a Trump

00:36:26.240 friendly candidate. But if she's a Trump friendly candidate, then she, she can't be president because 1.00

00:36:31.660 Trump is almost certainly going to run. Unless she's betting that Trump is only pretending that he's

00:36:36.720 going to run, but he's not actually going to run, in which case she could be trying to make a play

00:36:39.900 for Trump to tap her as his successor. Or some other strategy. But all of these strategies are

00:36:47.740 mutually exclusive. She's going to have to make a play for what kind of candidate she is going to be 1.00

00:36:55.140 in 2024, if she is going to run. And it's not just Nikki Haley that's dealing with this problem. Ron

00:36:59.420 DeSantis is dealing with this problem. He, I think, knows what kind of candidate he's going to be. He is

00:37:04.940 running as the Trump successor, the heir apparent. The problem is Trump might not want an heir apparent

00:37:09.960 just yet. People who are still interested in wielding power don't always like it when there

00:37:16.220 are heirs. Sometimes they're a little tough on their heirs. They try to kick them out of the

00:37:21.460 political scene. At the moment, Nikki Haley doesn't seem to have a clear lane. And this is true of a lot

00:37:29.300 of Republicans. So at the moment, I know a lot of people have their preferred candidates. A lot of people

00:37:33.760 probably like Nikki Haley. A lot of people like Ron DeSantis. A lot of people like Ted Cruz. A lot

00:37:38.000 of people like, I don't know, any of the other candidates too. But right now, Trump is the

00:37:43.420 dominant figure in the field. And because he's an agent of chaos, until he settles down into what

00:37:50.620 he's going to do, which is probably going to be very late in the game, the entire field is going to

00:37:55.900 remain unsettled. Speaking of the United Nations, Prince Harry just showed up to the United Nations.

00:38:01.960 Prince Harry. I don't even know if he goes by Prince anymore. The artist formerly known as Prince

00:38:09.460 Harry has left the United Kingdom because he married that awful woman. And now they live in 0.95

00:38:14.400 America together because she didn't want to be a princess. She just wanted to play one on TV. 0.97

00:38:18.460 And so he's come to America. He's lived here for five minutes and he's decided to take to the UN

00:38:22.200 to scold America for not killing as many babies anymore.

00:38:25.700 This has been a painful year in a painful decade. We're living through a pandemic that continues to

00:38:33.280 ravage communities in every corner of the globe. Climate change wreaking havoc on our planet with

00:38:40.780 the most vulnerable suffering most of all. The few weaponizing lies and disinformation at the expense

00:38:48.160 of the many. And from the horrific war in Ukraine to the rolling back of constitutional rights here in

00:38:54.880 the United States, we are witnessing a global assault on democracy and freedom, the cause of

00:39:01.840 Mandela's life.

00:39:03.660 So Prince Harry, I think, is referring to the Dobbs decision here. I think so. When he's saying a rolling

00:39:09.500 back of constitutional rights, what could he be talking about? He's not talking about the Second

00:39:14.160 Amendment rights. I mean, there was a court decision that just increased that constitutional right.

00:39:20.120 He's not talking about religious liberty. There were two court decisions that just increased those

00:39:25.160 constitutional rights. I'm not sure that Harry agrees with either of those, but you couldn't say

00:39:28.320 that that was a rolling back of constitutional rights. The only one where you could pretend it was

00:39:32.240 a rolling back of constitutional rights was the abortion case because it said, no, there's not

00:39:37.640 actually a constitutional right to abortion. So Harry shows up and it's so ugly and he shills at the

00:39:43.180 United Nations for killing more babies in the United States, a country he's lived in for two 0.94

00:39:48.440 seconds. And not only is this a case of an immigrant coming to America in search of a better life,

00:39:54.200 this is a man who was a representative of his nation. His family embodies the nation. He's from

00:40:03.340 the royal family and he was senior royal. And he has the temerity to come here and lecture us.

00:40:10.880 Now, what's really funny, a lot of news organizations played the Harry speech at the UN as though he was

00:40:16.740 speaking to the General Assembly. This is a world shaping speech. If you look at the other camera angle,

00:40:22.840 if you look at the camera angle into the room, nobody was there. How many people are in that room?

00:40:28.680 50? Maybe? It's so sparse, the number of people who are in that room. So nobody cares what Prince

00:40:37.500 Harry has to say. Nobody is really showing up for this. It doesn't matter. But he is a good tool for

00:40:44.860 the liberal establishment. And so they air him and try to make him seem more influential than he is.

00:40:48.800 What bugs me most about this is not just the silly environmentalism. It's not even the shilling for

00:40:57.060 the abortion industry and the moral arguments for killing lots of babies. Those are unpleasant too.

00:41:07.320 It's the disloyalty that I find so tasteful, so distasteful rather, with Prince Harry. He's so

00:41:13.540 disloyal. He throws his family under the bus as his grandfather is dying, as his grandmother,

00:41:20.320 one of the greatest women in public life of the last century. This woman is 96 years old and he

00:41:26.320 just roils the family and he's disloyal. He throws all this dirt on his own family and he moves to

00:41:30.940 America. And then the second he moves to America, he's disloyal to America and just starts spewing all

00:41:36.140 this bile at the country that was nice enough to take him in. Though I wouldn't say we took him in all

00:41:41.560 that willingly. I certainly don't. I'm not glad that he's here. Listen, maybe we should ship him to

00:41:47.040 Washington, D.C. If we're going to ship the Guatemalans and the Nicaraguans and the Salvadorans 0.99

00:41:52.540 who come across the border illegally, let's ship this limey too. You libs like him so much, you deal 0.98

00:41:57.820 with him. They'll kick him back. They'll deport him in two seconds. Speaking of disloyalty, I just read

00:42:03.760 the saddest article I may have ever read in my life. This is in the New Yorker. And it ties into all these

00:42:10.640 discussions on marriage and human nature and sex and sex politics. A hookup app for the emotionally

00:42:18.680 mature. Modern romance can feel cold and alienating. Filled by encouraging open-mindedness and respect

00:42:26.800 suggests a way forward. It's written by a woman, Emily Witt. I'll just read you the first paragraph.

00:42:33.040 This thing goes on forever and it just gets more depressing the more you read. It says,

00:42:36.760 In the late summer of 2020, when much of normal social life was suspended,

00:42:41.360 a relationship that I had been in for several years abruptly collapsed. I was 39 and scared

00:42:46.720 by the idea that I would not be reproducing the kind of heteronormative nuclear family I had grown

00:42:51.040 up in. I wandered the sidewalks of my Brooklyn neighborhood where discarded masks littered the

00:42:55.300 gutters with a sense of having been exiled from my own life. My apartment with its cat and its plants

00:43:01.560 still existed but was no longer my home. I could get a glass of cold Prosecco at my favorite bar

00:43:08.820 but the people I used to see there seemed to have vanished. It did not take long to understand that

00:43:15.340 there would be no ladder back to the world I had known and that the portal to whatever it was that

00:43:19.780 came next was probably going to appear on my phone. This is when I downloaded a dating app called

00:43:25.140 Field. Field describes itself as technology for, quote, open-minded singles and couples who want to

00:43:30.400 explore their sexuality. You find out later on that Field started out as a threesome app. It was an app

00:43:37.140 for people who wanted to have threesomes. It was called Thrinder, I think, and then there was a cease and

00:43:40.600 desist from Tinder, the other dating app, and so they had to change the name to Field. And the headline here

00:43:47.100 is a hookup app for the emotionally mature. And what you find out during the reading of the article is these

00:43:53.320 are the most emotionally and spiritually and personally immature people ever. This first paragraph,

00:44:02.120 it almost reads like satire, like a satire of what it means to live in Brooklyn these days as a millennial.

00:44:10.160 The way, even just the way she talks, she doesn't say my husband left me. She doesn't say my love affair

00:44:15.640 collapsed. She says my relationship, the relationship that I had been in abruptly collapsed. And so I

00:44:24.340 went back to my plant and my cats, and I went to the place where I would get my Prosecco in the

00:44:31.080 neighborhood. But the people that I was waiting to see, they weren't there as much anymore. And she's

00:44:36.060 blaming this on COVID, but it's so much sadder than that because COVID has nothing to do with this.

00:44:41.340 That's called getting older. That's called life. As you get older, not everything stays the same.

00:44:52.960 In fact, almost nothing stays the same. So you go to the bar and fewer and fewer of your friends are

00:44:57.840 there. And you say, hey, let's go get a drink tonight. And fewer and fewer people can do it

00:45:01.660 because people go off and they get married, or they move for a job, or they move on with their lives.

00:45:07.900 And disproportionately, it's people in New York, often in Brooklyn, actually, like this woman.

00:45:13.160 But disproportionately, it's these sorts of people, people who are doing the kind of coastal,

00:45:18.080 cosmopolitan, elite jobs who don't grow up. The rest of America tends to grow up. And they go,

00:45:25.220 and they get married, and they get a job, and they have kids, and they just, they kind of grow up.

00:45:29.400 These people don't. And they get very sad because their life is changing. And so if they were

00:45:35.740 emotionally mature, what they would do is they would try to improve their lives, and edify

00:45:40.500 themselves, and have more stable relationships, and maybe have that relationship move somewhere

00:45:45.420 toward marriage. Or they could, not, marriage isn't for everybody. Maybe they say, I'm owing

00:45:49.880 to be single, but I'm going to consecrate myself in single life. I'm going to do something

00:45:53.000 for God, hopefully. Certainly something bigger than myself. I'm not just going to live for my cat

00:45:59.980 in my Prosecco anymore, in my New Yorker articles. But a lot of people can't do that. And so what

00:46:06.160 does this woman do? She does the opposite. She goes to the threesome app. And she describes having 0.99

00:46:09.800 a threesome. She goes, and she meets this couple at a bar, and they go, and they have a threesome.

00:46:13.120 And it's so sad because she says, you know, the sheets felt nice in their apartment, and they made

00:46:18.040 me a nice dinner, and then that was it. But I realized, you know, I felt like kind of an imposter,

00:46:23.780 and it doesn't, it didn't do it for me. But she never comes to the right conclusions. She never

00:46:28.880 says, okay, I should go get married. Because we've, we've lost so much of our understanding

00:46:34.320 of what marriage is, of what life is about, of what growing up means. We don't grow up anymore.

00:46:41.340 Sometimes you'll hear people say, it brings us right back to those squish Republicans who voted 0.99

00:46:45.300 for the Democrats' redefinition of marriage earlier. They'll say, well, you know, listen,

00:46:49.900 what marriage has lost so much of its meaning in recent years. You know, you've got divorce,

00:46:54.180 rampant divorce, galore, no-fault divorce. You've got this whole culture of selfishness. So

00:47:00.100 why shouldn't the gays get married? You say, oh, you're, you know, you're raising some interesting 1.00

00:47:04.480 points, but you're coming to the opposite conclusion. One, the answer as to why the gays 1.00

00:47:10.820 can't get married is not because we don't like gay people, or we don't want them to be happy or 1.00

00:47:14.260 anything. It's because it's ontologically impossible. Because marriage involves sexual 0.52

00:47:19.240 difference. And so if you don't have sexual difference, you can't get married. By definition,

00:47:23.220 you can try to redefine it. You can try to say, well, no, marriage is different now. But it is a

00:47:28.340 thing. Marriage is a thing. And no matter what we say, no matter what the Democrats and 47 Republicans

00:47:32.560 say, that's not going to change. Because the structure of reality isn't going to change.

00:47:36.720 I can call this Tumblr a microphone. It isn't a microphone. It is a Tumblr. It is what it is.

00:47:42.560 But furthermore, to this point, the people who raise these objections have a good point.

00:47:47.740 We have weakened marriage. We have lost sense of what marriage is. We've lost sense of what the

00:47:51.820 purpose of marriage is. We've lost sense of what the purpose of our own lives and our relationship

00:47:56.640 to our sexuality and the relationship to our fellow human beings and our relationship to our

00:48:01.820 political community is. Because marriage is a political institution. That's why you do it in 1.00

00:48:07.100 public. That's why you take vows before God, but before the public as well. That's why you sign the

00:48:11.140 register. When states had established churches, then you would do it in the church, and that satisfied

00:48:15.640 the state. When the state stopped establishing churches, you would register with the state as well.

00:48:19.340 That's been true in every society for all of human history. People say we've weakened marriage.

00:48:23.700 You're right. That's the problem. The solution is not to further confuse marriage or to further

00:48:29.640 abolish marriage. The solution is to strengthen marriage. You're right. It's really sad that people

00:48:35.440 are living this way. Don't take my word for it. They are sad. They are the ones who are taking more and

00:48:40.060 more depression pills. They are the ones who are not living as long because of deaths of despair.

00:48:44.220 They are the ones who are reporting to social scientists, decreasing levels of happiness.

00:48:50.180 You're right, and I think it has to do with alienation. I think you're right. I think it has

00:48:54.060 to do with a lack of community. I think you're right. I think it has to do with the collapse of

00:48:58.220 the essential community institution. The solution is not to blow that up completely. The solution is to

00:49:06.100 try to take it back and build it back and to have a more coherent culture. If not, even the

00:49:12.120 conservatives can be counted on to get that, who can? I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles

00:50:08.400 Today on The Matt Walsh Show, top HHS official Rachel Levine appears on TV yet again this week to push

00:50:13.900 castration and sterilization on kids. But instead of being a high-ranking federal official,

00:50:18.780 Levine should be in prison. We'll talk about why. Also, 47 Republicans get on board with the federal

00:50:24.240 government redefining marriage. Many people on the right have changed their minds on the marriage

00:50:28.780 issue in recent years, but why? What compelling argument convinced them? We'll try to figure that

00:50:33.640 out. And the heroic squad led by AOC are arrested and frog-marched in front of cameras with invisible

00:50:39.080 handcuffs. A harrowing scene indeed. Plus, CNN discovers something known as summer and blames it

00:50:44.960 on climate change. All of that and more today on The Matt Walsh Show.
