The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1066 - Woke Trans Hospital Brags About Butchering Kids

00:00:00.000 Yesterday, one day after the shocking FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago, Joe Biden's Attorney General

00:00:06.720 Merrick Garland has come forward to take responsibility for the unprecedented attack

00:00:12.200 on the former president, who just so happens to be Biden's chief political rival in 2024.

00:00:19.500 Just now, the Justice Department has filed a motion in the Southern District of Florida

00:00:24.260 to unseal a search warrant and property receipt relating to a court-approved search that the FBI

00:00:31.160 conducted earlier this week. That search was of premises located in Florida belonging to the

00:00:37.720 former president. Faithful adherence to the rule of law is the bedrock principle of the Justice

00:00:43.480 Department and of our democracy. Upholding the rule of law means applying the law evenly, without fear

00:00:51.960 or favor. Under my watch, that is precisely what the Justice Department is doing. Federal law,

00:01:00.500 long-standing department rules, and our ethical obligations prevent me from providing further

00:01:06.460 details as to the basis of the search at this time. There are, however, certain points I want you to

00:01:14.500 know. First, I personally approved the decision to seek a search warrant in this matter. Let me

00:01:21.940 address recent unfounded attacks on the professionalism of the FBI and Justice Department

00:01:27.680 agents and prosecutors. I will not stand by silently when their integrity is unfairly attacked.

00:01:35.880 Merrick Garland will not stand by silently while the integrity of the FBI and DOJ leadership

00:01:42.060 is unfairly attacked. How about when it's fairly attacked? Unfair? Unfounded? Just to be clear,

00:01:50.560 we're talking about the same DOJ and FBI that conspired with the Democrats and fabricated evidence

00:01:58.780 that Trump had colluded with the Russians in order to spy on the Trump campaign. Then later launched a

00:02:05.340 years-long $32 million special counsel investigation, also based on nothing to undermine the Trump

00:02:12.580 administration after Trump entered office. And then two days ago, sent jackbooted thugs to raid the home

00:02:18.860 of the current president's predecessor and chief rival, ostensibly to enforce a law that many other

00:02:26.440 presidents and even presidential candidates, such as Hillary Clinton, more egregiously have violated without

00:02:32.560 consequence. That's the DOJ. That's the FBI that we're not allowed to criticize, according to Merrick

00:02:38.740 Garland. Merrick Garland, the jilted former federal judge who is now exacting revenge on his political enemies

00:02:45.860 because cocaine Mitch McConnell and the Republicans denied him his dream job on the Supreme Court.

00:02:52.440 How dare you attack my integrity? I'm not going to attack Merrick Garland's integrity or the integrity

00:02:59.360 of the DOJ and FBI leadership, because that would imply that they have any integrity to attack and they do

00:03:06.440 not. They have for years now revealed themselves to be political hacks whose job it is to destroy

00:03:14.680 Republicans and to let Democrat criminals such as Hillary Clinton, such as Hunter Biden, we could be 1.00

00:03:21.000 here all day if we kept listing the names, to let them off the hook for committing more serious crimes

00:03:26.700 than any of the crimes that they even accuse the Republicans of. In the case of Trump, they have

00:03:33.660 revealed themselves as the boy who cried wolf, accusing Trump of all sorts of nonsense from the fake 0.95

00:03:40.300 dossier about the alleged hooker urine tape. You remember that one? That was a doozy. To all the

00:03:45.460 other vague claims of bribes and blackmail and collusion without ever once producing the goods.

00:03:52.680 No evidence whatsoever, just all sorts of insinuation. These people, Merrick Garland in particular,

00:03:59.600 should be ashamed of what they have done to the rule of law in the United States. And as far as I'm

00:04:05.860 concerned, unless the FBI found severed heads in a freezer at Mar-a-Lago, nothing could justify this

00:04:14.000 raid, which, unlike Donald Trump, poses a genuine threat to our democracy. I'm Michael Knowles. This

00:04:20.480 is the Michael Knowles Show. Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment yesterday is from

00:04:32.200 Inaccessible Cardinal, who says, my New Year's resolution was to drop 10 pounds. I finally hit

00:04:38.040 my target this month. Granted, I gained 78 pounds over the first six months of the year. That's true.

00:04:43.920 Kind of like inflation, don't you think? Inflation goes up, goes up to 40-year record highs, and then

00:04:49.220 it comes down three cents per gallon of gas or whatever. And you say, oh, look, look at how great

00:04:54.780 this is. Zero inflation, negative inflation, which is also bad too, by the way. Biden just doesn't realize

00:04:59.020 that. Absolutely right. Great point. Congratulations on only gaining 68 pounds this

00:05:03.920 year. Good job. When we want to speak the truth, we can't necessarily do so on social media. We can't

00:05:11.320 necessarily do so in the mainstream press. We've got to just talk personally to people that we trust and

00:06:41.400 on Trump. They've got him now. Oh, they've got him now. The FBI and the DOJ, they've got him.

00:06:49.580 I mean, they've been saying that for seven years straight now. And every time they insinuate or even

00:06:57.380 explicitly claim that he's committed some terrible offense, it never actually happened. And it was

00:07:02.720 always fake. Going back to that fake dossier that they cooked up with the Democrats in the Hillary

00:07:07.780 campaign. And then what else did we have? We had the urine tape we had. Do you remember the

00:07:13.180 Ukraine phone call? The walls are closing in. We've got him now. Trump called President Zelensky

00:07:19.920 in Ukraine, who for a while was portrayed as corrupt, but now they've switched the narrative

00:07:23.560 on that. So now he's Winston Churchill. But still, he called him bad. That was bad. It's Mueller time.

00:07:30.220 You remember that stupid t-shirt? Remember the Mueller investigation? That's gonna take Trump down. 1.00

00:07:35.440 The walls are closing in. Where is, oh, nope, nothing. Nothing. We have nothing on him. Okay.

00:07:41.140 But now, what are they saying they've got now? It's so desperate. It's so pathetic.

00:07:47.340 Initially, they were going after Trump for his alleged business corruption. That's why he was 0.99

00:07:53.900 just deposed in New York by the Attorney General of New York, Letitia James. It's his business

00:07:58.400 corruption. The walls are closing in. And then they said that he violated the Presidential Records Act.

00:08:05.540 Which is this part of federal law that says that the National Archives gets to own it basically every

00:08:11.440 piece of paper in the White House. And Trump took some papers, which means he violated the law.

00:08:16.820 We're gonna send him to jail now. Except pretty much every president technically violates the

00:08:21.900 Presidential Records Act. Barack Obama technically violated it. He's kept a ton of documents, millions and

00:08:28.400 millions of documents that he was supposed to turn over to the National Archives that he's just

00:08:31.760 keeping in Chicago at his presidential library. And he said that he was gonna digitize them,

00:08:36.200 by the way. The excuse that Obama used to keep all of his documents was, well, I'm gonna digitize

00:08:40.800 them and make them public. Five years later, not a single document's been digitized. But okay,

00:08:44.860 that's Barack Obama. This goes back to LBJ violated the Presidential Records Act. Richard Nixon,

00:08:51.680 Richard Nixon, his library held onto tapes until 2010 or 2013, okay? This has never been enforced.

00:09:00.480 It's preposterous. The DOJ was apparently working with Trump to get some of these documents back.

00:09:06.960 They were aware of it. They saw the boxes of documents. They even told him to put a padlock on

00:09:10.700 the room, reportedly. And then the raid. The raid up because the walls are closed. So what are they saying

00:09:16.800 the raid is about now, when there was such huge blowback against it? They're saying it's that

00:09:21.260 Donald Trump had nuclear secrets. He stole the nuclear codes or something. That's what the

00:09:28.080 Washington Post had. FBI searched Trump's home to look for nuclear documents and other items,

00:09:34.600 sources say. Okay, so what could that possibly mean? Some people are saying it means the nuclear codes.

00:09:40.460 First of all, if my iCloud account, it makes me change my password every six months,

00:09:46.920 I should hope that the nuclear codes change every once in a while. I hope so. I have to change my

00:09:52.000 password when I log into Twitter regularly. I should hope that the codes that could lead to a

00:09:57.720 nuclear apocalypse on Earth, I hope you have to refresh those, add a few special characters and

00:10:02.500 capital letters. One would hope. But they don't really say it's the codes, though. What do they say it

00:10:07.380 is? They say, this is according to the Washington Post, now citing the former chief of the Justice

00:10:14.380 Department's counterintelligence section. If it is true that there is all this classified nuclear

00:10:20.440 information, it would suggest that the material residing unlawfully at Mar-a-Lago may have been

00:10:25.000 classified at the highest classification level. If the FBI and the DOJ believed there were top secret

00:10:31.860 materials still at Mar-a-Lago, that would lend itself to greater hair on fire motivation

00:10:36.780 to recover that material as quickly as possible. And this is why it really doesn't hold up as far

00:10:41.520 as I'm concerned. So first of all, this is all being reported in the Washington Post. The Washington

00:10:46.460 Post is profita. The Washington Post is the propaganda bullhorn for the deep state and the

00:10:53.340 establishment. It's been true going back to the 1970s and probably earlier. Second, the sources cited in

00:11:00.760 the Washington Post article are anonymous, as is frequently the case. And when the Washington Post

00:11:07.900 reports on Trump, generally you've got to take it with a grain of salt because they hate his guts.

00:11:10.860 When it's anonymous sources, you've really got to take it with a grain of salt. But then they cite

00:11:14.720 people on the record responding to the anonymous sources. They say this was the highest classification

00:11:18.660 level. Right. If Hillary Clinton had this material at her home, that would be a huge problem on her 1.00

00:11:24.780 server because she has never been the president. She was a secretary of state. And so Hillary Clinton 1.00

00:11:31.940 does not have the right to declassify whatever she wants. The president does. The president could have 1.00

00:11:36.760 the most super duper top secret material in the world. He could then take a picture of it, post it on

00:11:41.540 Twitter. That would be completely legal. That is his right because he's the president and he doesn't

00:11:46.700 work for some hack at the DOJ. He's the president. He can declassify whatever he wants. But then third

00:11:52.320 of all, and this is, I think to me, the part that really makes this whole thing fall apart.

00:11:58.600 They say this is hair on fire stuff. The sense of urgency. They had to get this back. If it's so

00:12:04.020 urgent, why'd they wait? What's it been? 18, 19 months of the Biden administration? This is so

00:12:08.420 urgent. Why weren't they kicking down the doors at Mar-a-Lago January, 2021? If this is so urgent,

00:12:13.760 why were they negotiating with Trump's lawyers? If this was so urgent, why did they see the material

00:12:17.340 and say, okay, no big deal, put a padlock on it? Just doesn't add up. And when you put that in the

00:12:24.100 context of the DOJ and the FBI repeatedly, consistently lying about Trump, fabricating

00:12:30.080 evidence in some cases to get the FISA warrant for Crossfire Hurricane to spy on his campaign.

00:12:34.540 When you look at all of the shenanigans, sometimes frequently illegal, that these agencies have

00:12:41.200 undertaken to undermine Trump. You just look at this and you say, I don't buy it, kids. I don't

00:12:46.080 buy it. This is an actual, we always hear about the assaults on our democracy. This is an actual

00:12:50.420 assault on our democracy. This is the deep state and the technocrats going after a man who at least

00:12:56.180 once, at least once has been the duly elected president of the United States. When you want to

00:14:21.500 Speaking of the fake news and the squandering of credibility by our public institutions,

00:14:27.500 I don't know whether to laugh or to scream at this headline that was posted on NPR yesterday.

00:14:37.180 NPR, liberal outlet, taxpayer subsidized liberal outlet, reporting on new COVID-19 guidance from

00:14:46.460 the CDC. Here's the guidance. I didn't even believe this was real. When I saw this infographic floating

00:14:52.200 around the internet, I said, this has to be a meme or a joke. I tracked down the source. No,

00:14:55.980 it comes from NPR. NPR, getting it from the CDC. New COVID-19 guidance from the CDC focuses on

00:15:04.320 individual decisions. Bullet point one, those exposed to the virus are no longer required to

00:15:11.480 quarantine. I'm going to skip number two for a second. You'll see why. Number three, students can

00:15:16.400 stay in class after being exposed to the virus. Okay. Number four, it's no longer recommended to

00:15:22.160 screen those without symptoms. Okay. And then number two,

00:15:26.780 unvaccinated people now have the same guidance as vaccinated people.

00:15:35.880 Unvaccinated people have...

00:15:37.500 It's been two and a half years. People lost their jobs.

00:15:52.160 Because they refused to take that stupid Fauci ouchy that the libs, including Walensky and 1.00

00:15:57.920 Fauci and Biden all lied about, lied about the efficacy, lied about the safety, lied about the 1.00

00:16:03.180 whole thing. And they said, you have to get it. And if you won't take this experimental drug,

00:16:06.560 you're going to lose your job. You're not going to get to see your dying grandmother in the hospital.

00:16:10.860 You can't go overseas. You can't travel. You can't go to school. You can't do... Nevermind.

00:16:16.080 Nevermind. Now it's all the same guidance for everybody. Oops. Oops.

00:16:24.660 I'm going to recover my composure. I'm going to just patiently resign myself to the fact that

00:16:31.660 I told you so. I didn't need to tell you. You understood this from the beginning. But so many

00:16:36.800 people from the beginning said, no, Fauci is totally right. The vaccine is so wonderful.

00:16:40.460 Everyone has to take it. Beep, boop, beep, boop. Follow the science. No, no, no. There's no

00:16:44.920 incompetence here. There are no ulterior motives. There are no liars. Beep, beep, beep, beep, boop.

00:16:48.240 No, it's really important to destroy people's lives and businesses and livelihoods and families

00:16:53.160 over this thing. Oh, whoops. Nevermind.

00:16:58.440 Just going to take that in. I'm going to say, good. I'm glad we've moved past the vaccine thing.

00:17:02.540 Every single person who lost their job, who was dismissed from the military. Oh my gosh.

00:17:09.940 There are people who had to leave the military because of this. Every single person should get

00:17:14.900 their job back. Practically speaking, I don't even know how that's possible. I don't know how you put

00:17:19.120 the pieces back together again after two and a half years. But it is total vindication. Total

00:17:28.380 vindication for those of us who were always skeptical of Dr. Fauci, who never believed the hysteria,

00:17:35.900 who were always skeptical of the claims of the technocrats. It's total vindication. 100%.

00:17:41.760 I think you should have gotten it when Dr. Fauci lied about the masks and explained that he lied.

00:17:46.560 I actually admitted that he lied about the masks. I think you should have probably understood it

00:17:50.180 when Dr. Fauci called himself the representative of science. You definitely should have gotten it

00:17:54.300 yesterday when Dr. Fauci called himself a symbol of truth, of the truth.

00:17:59.820 I think we get it now. I think we get it now. Speaking of dubious science, Boston Children's

00:18:10.240 Hospital is just putting its foot right on the accelerator of our one-way trip to Gomorrah.

00:18:18.820 They are now offering gender-affirming hysterectomies for young girls.

00:18:27.620 The slippery slope has gone, we're in warp speed on the slippery slope. It went from,

00:18:34.380 we had a society where we understood that men and women are different,

00:18:37.380 to a society where men and women kind of seen as interchangeable. You know, feminism came around, 1.00

00:18:43.660 a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle. Then to a society, especially you see this in the gay 1.00

00:18:47.680 rights movement where men and women's roles, including in romantic partnerships, are totally

00:18:53.240 blurred. A man can be a woman and a woman can be a man. Then this was taken to its fullest extreme

00:18:58.800 through transgenderism where they said, no, a woman literally can be a man and a man literally 0.69

00:19:03.200 can be a woman. Then we said, actually, if that's true, then it can't just be true for adults. It's

00:19:08.160 got to be true for kids because you're born this way. You've got the soul of a woman in the body of 1.00

00:19:13.240 a man from the moment that you're conceived, even though you're not really a person when you're

00:19:16.320 conceived, but you're only a person when the feminists want to admit that a baby's become 1.00

00:19:19.760 a baby. But that's actually a side point. I digress. We have to trans the children. It's 1.00

00:19:24.740 very important. We're going to bring transgenderism down to even elementary school. And we're going to 1.00

00:19:29.240 at the very least put them on totally reversible puberty blockers and those totally reversible

00:19:36.620 cross-sex hormones. Even though all of these drugs that then get you on the hook to big pharma for

00:19:41.100 life at a huge expense, huge profits for big pharma, even though they cause all sorts of

00:19:46.000 problems. And you're beginning to see this osteoporosis, sometimes permanent sterility in

00:19:50.600 kids. That's no big deal. Don't worry. It's totally reversible. Oh yeah. And now also we're going to

00:19:55.240 surgically remove the wombs of children to accommodate this absurd fad, this cult called transgenderism. 1.00

00:20:05.600 So says Boston Children's Hospital. Here's the advertisement. 0.98

00:20:13.500 Gender-affirming hysterectomy is very similar to most hysterectomies that occur. A hysterectomy 0.89

00:20:19.240 itself is the removal of the uterus, the cervix, which is the opening of the uterus, and the fallopian

00:20:24.460 tubes, which are attached to the sides of the uterus. Some gender-affirming hysterectomies will also 0.93

00:20:29.180 include the removal of the ovaries, but that's technically a separate procedure called a bilateral

00:20:33.460 oophrectomy. And not every gender-affirming hysterectomy includes that. And people who

00:20:38.020 are getting gender-affirming hysterectomies do not have to have their ovaries removed.

00:20:45.580 Smiley, smiley. Yeah. So what we're going to do is not everyone has to have their ovaries removed. 0.72

00:20:53.400 Okay. You've noticed this, how liberal, usually white millennial women, they end every question, 1.00

00:20:58.920 or every sentence, rather, as though it were a question. And it always kind of ends up,

00:21:03.320 and it's on a lilt, and it's really nice. It sounds nice, but you can tell there's a tension

00:21:07.140 there, because what they're talking about is totally insane and really, really scary and

00:21:11.840 vaguely threatening. So we're going to remove your fallopian tubes and maybe take out your ovaries. 1.00

00:21:18.600 But at the very least, little kids, we're going to remove your womb. 1.00

00:21:22.320 You expect, when you see this kind of evil in the country, you expect it to come with a pitchfork

00:21:30.480 and horns and maybe a kind of scary, demonic voice. Listen, kids, we're going to cut your womb 1.00

00:21:37.580 out. But it's not how it happens, actually. It's even more insidious than that. It happens in the

00:21:44.100 name of compassion and being really nice and being really polite. And that's why, little girls,

00:21:49.220 we're going to chop your womb out, because you mistakenly think you're a boy, and we're going 0.99

00:21:53.160 to affirm you in that delusion. And then you're going to regret it later on, and we're going to 0.98

00:21:57.200 have destroyed your body and your life. Obviously, this should be shut down. Anyone who is donating

00:22:04.460 any money to this hospital should stop. Look, I'm sure the hospital does great work. Otherwise,

00:22:09.420 they need to put massive pressure, cultural and social pressure, to shut down this clinic,

00:22:15.240 which is really performing true evil on little kids. And then we need political pressure to shut

00:22:21.000 this down from the level of the city and the state. It needs to be banned. The people who perform these

00:22:27.060 kinds of surgeries should be in prison. Certainly, maybe you have a kind of amnesty right now.

00:22:35.320 And you say, okay, people who were wrongly doing this, you didn't understand it. It was legal. Okay,

00:22:40.780 so we're not going to throw you in the gulags yet. But now we've passed this law. If anyone even

00:22:45.280 so much as thinks about performing the surgery afterward, you're going to prison. We're throwing

00:22:50.080 away the key. We're going to treat you so viciously in prison, it will be as though you danced around

00:22:54.900 the Capitol Rotunda in a horn hat on January 6th. That's how harsh we're going to be to you for

00:22:59.580 chopping out the wombs of little girls, you freaking psychos. It's everywhere. This ideology is 1.00

00:23:07.160 everywhere in society now. It's not just on the extreme crazy fringes of the Capitol Hill autonomous

00:23:13.140 zone in some bizarre left-wing city with a bunch of anarchists and misfits and miscreants running the

00:23:19.060 show. This is happening in our elite institutions. Boston Children's Hospital is a prestigious

00:23:23.800 institution. It's happening right here in my own town. I love Nashville. Nashville's so great. I've been

00:23:29.780 a Nashvillian now for two years or something. Love Tennessee. And you can even see it creeping in here.

00:23:35.800 I fled at liberal California to be in a normal place. And yet here, you've got the elite girls 0.85

00:23:45.360 school, Harpeth Hall, just announced even the elite school in Tennessee is going trans.

00:23:55.100 Harpeth Hall dates back to 1865. It's an all-girls school. I don't have any daughters yet. I hope at

00:24:04.080 some point to have daughters. I am. I think I might be too virile. I just keep producing men. I am just

00:24:10.120 so filled to the brim with Y chromosomes and just brute masculinity that I keep producing boys. 0.92

00:24:16.540 But at some point, I may have a girl, and I hope I do, so that I can grant people favors on her

00:24:21.320 wedding day. If I have a girl someday, if I am so blessed, I cannot send her to Harpeth Hall. I can't do it.

00:24:27.900 Because Harpeth Hall has just gone trans. Because Harpeth Hall, which was the girls' school in 0.62

00:24:34.940 Tennessee, is no longer a girls' school, even though they're pretending to be a girls' school.

00:24:39.800 Harpeth Hall produced Reese Witherspoon, Amy Grant, Minnie Pearl, lots of famous alumni.

00:24:46.200 Not alumni. Alumni would imply just boys or boys and girls. But it's alumni because it's just girls. 0.99

00:24:51.520 But now they don't produce alumni. They produce alumni. The website of the school says people

00:24:58.400 need to live honorably and think critically. Until transgenderism, I guess. And then you throw 1.00

00:25:03.140 a critical thought out the window. The school's board of trustees, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

00:25:08.600 Committee has just created this new policy at the request of the school's administration.

00:25:14.240 The policy claims that trustees, quote, have heard from experts on the topic, shared educational

00:25:19.580 articles, and consulted with other girls' schools. So here's how I know I couldn't send my daughter to 0.72

00:25:24.980 Harpeth Hall someday in Nashville. Because they don't know anything about anything. They say they've

00:25:32.520 consulted experts. But you don't need an expert to know boys and girls are different. You don't need

00:25:37.680 to be an expert to know that boys can't become little girls and girls can't become little boys. So if

00:25:41.880 the school, at the very highest levels, is so confused on this that they don't know the difference

00:25:46.020 between boys and girls, then I can't trust them to teach my daughter anything. Because they don't

00:25:50.240 know anything. They are demonstrating such a degree of ignorance and idiocy. Maybe willful 1.00

00:25:56.620 ignorance. I suspect it is. That I couldn't trust them to teach my kids the ABCs. The policy, quote,

00:26:03.860 any student who identifies as a girl may apply to our school. So they give in to the fad. 0.99

00:26:09.720 And it's not going to turn out well. I mentioned this quote yesterday on the show.

00:26:12.840 I don't know if it's from Fulton Sheen or Dean Inge. I don't know. I think the Catholics 1.00

00:26:17.320 and the Protestants fight over who gets to claim this quote. It's a brilliant quote. I love it.

00:26:21.100 Whoever said it. Whoever marries himself to the spirit of the age will find himself a widower in

00:26:27.360 the next. If you marry yourself to the spirit of the age, you will become a widow in the next because 0.97

00:26:34.580 the spirit of the age is always changing. And that's why you've got to ground yourself in eternal

00:26:38.860 truths, not in passing fads. And transgenderism is a passing fad. That's not even a prediction.

00:26:45.400 That's just an historical fact. Transgenderism has cropped up at various times throughout history

00:26:50.960 in different forms, in different kinds of transgender expressions, I guess you could say.

00:26:56.340 But it's come up as the Gnostic dualist heresy. It's come up in a way as Albigensianism,

00:27:02.380 catheterism. It's come up in various forms. And now it's coming up in this particular transgender 1.00

00:27:08.560 way. It's already beginning to pass away in some cases. There's a wonderfully encouraging

00:27:13.520 report that's come out right now. There is an infamous gender clinic in Great Britain. I've 0.80

00:27:20.120 covered it on this show. It's called the Tavistock Gender Clinic in London. They offer,

00:27:25.280 quote, gender-affirming care and puberty blockers to thousands of children. 1,000 families are now

00:27:33.600 filing a medical negligence lawsuit against the clinic. They're targeting the Gender Identity 0.98

00:27:40.220 Development Service at Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust, which they claim, rightly, recklessly doled

00:27:47.680 out puberty blockers with harmful side effects. Of course, these, quote, this is from the people who

00:27:54.500 are bringing this. The children have suffered life-changing and, in some cases, irreversible

00:27:58.860 effects of the treatment they received. We anticipate at least 1,000 clients will join this

00:28:02.720 action. Tip of the iceberg. This is just one clinic in just one part of the United Kingdom,

00:28:10.040 not even here in the United States yet. We also predicted this on the show years ago.

00:28:16.220 You are going to see, sooner rather than later, lawsuits being brought by people who, as children,

00:28:21.520 were subjected to these medical experiments who later on realized that they're extremely harmful

00:28:26.000 and they're going to sue their parents and they're going to sue the doctors and they're going to sue

00:28:28.660 the government, in some cases, if the government is providing health care. Good, we need more of that.

00:28:33.080 We need these institutions to be absolutely bankrupted. Ideally, you would see the people

00:28:38.440 who perform these kinds of mutilations and experiments have their livelihoods destroyed,

00:28:42.800 thrown in prison if possible, but at the very least, totally ostracized from public life,

00:28:48.620 at the very least, until they repent and recant and beg, beg forgiveness of what they've done

00:28:54.820 to these poor little kids. Speaking of dubious science, it's quite a story. Quite a story just

00:29:02.900 came out. This was trending on social media yesterday. The story comes from CNBC. The earth

00:29:09.960 spun faster than usual on June 29th and triggered climate anxiety. Here's how to cope. Did you suffer

00:29:20.080 any climate anxiety? Did you have, I didn't know the earth spun faster. I mean, all of my colleagues

00:29:26.400 are out of the office, either just not showing up or calling in sick. So it has felt faster to me

00:29:32.200 because sometimes when we work a lot or I have a newborn kid at home, that makes the time feel like

00:29:38.040 it's going a little faster because we have a lot to do. I don't generally feel the actual physical

00:29:42.180 earth spinning faster. It doesn't bother me too much. I've got other things in my life

00:29:47.700 to worry about than that. But some people, I guess, don't. What they worry about is climate anxiety.

00:29:54.620 Here's how you can cope, by the way. Try a news detox. Designate a time or multiple times throughout

00:30:02.340 the day when you don't consume any news. That's a good idea, at least when we're talking about CNBC,

00:30:08.120 at least when we're talking about the Washington Post. I don't think you need to take a news

00:30:12.000 detox from the Michael Knowles show because we're not selling you a bunch of ridiculous lies to freak

00:30:18.560 you out and just force you into supporting our environmentalist program by fear-mongering and

00:30:26.140 telling you the world is going to end in nine years if you don't raise taxes on certain industries and

00:30:32.140 drive a Tesla. Okay, we're not going to lie to you and manipulate you that way. So I don't think you

00:30:37.620 need to detox from us. You definitely need to detox from these extremely toxic news sources. Then,

00:30:43.180 this one's my favorite. Find a community. Talk to others about what you're feeling and consider

00:30:47.540 climate cafes. These are groups that meet up to discuss the state of the world.

00:30:55.760 Or you could just like go to church like you're supposed to because that's really what this is

00:30:59.940 about, right? Find a community that you can get together with and talk about your energy and

00:31:08.420 feelings to try to save the world. You're saying to pray. You really want to pray. That's the word

00:31:13.080 you want to use. You just don't know how to say it. So you're saying come into a community

00:31:16.580 where you pray that you won't be destroyed and the world will be saved. And you're describing a

00:31:23.500 church but in this bizarre lib way. You're taking your natural longing for God because man is a

00:31:29.680 fundamentally religious being. But you're denying God and you're denying true religion. And so you're

00:31:34.960 channeling it in all these bizarre ways. You'll feel a lot better if you just go to church. Okay?

00:31:41.120 You will. Rather than setting up coffee dates with a bunch of other liberal neurotics to talk about how

00:31:46.800 the world's going to end in five minutes. Just go to church. Okay? Take a detox from these absolute 0.72

00:31:54.340 looney tunes. Take a detox from all the fear mongering and the lies and the constant dishonesty

00:32:01.520 and deception. And just see things the way they are. All right? So you'll feel a lot better when

00:32:08.160 you tune out that Washington Post and you tune out that CNBC. And you recognize that there are

00:32:13.980 more important things in the world than the ones the libs want you all to worry about.

00:32:17.740 Did you know that over 85% of grass-fed beef sold in U.S. grocery stores is imported? That's why I buy

00:32:55.080 The corporate media not only control what they want you to know, their agenda means that the

00:33:51.700 Hey, Michael. Huge fan of the show. Also a big fan of the voice mailbag. Shout out to Pure Talk for

00:33:56.660 making this happen. My question to you today is about South Park. So I've noticed that you've made

00:34:01.720 multiple references to South Park. Not only does it appear in your book, Speechless, but also you've

00:34:08.100 brought up episodes on the show before, like the transgender episode where he competes in sports and

00:34:13.020 how ridiculous that is and how it's barely even satire. And then just a week or two ago,

00:34:17.800 you talked about how South Park picked up on the fact that Donald Trump delivered a lot of his

00:34:22.220 speeches in the cadence of a comedian and how they made a parody of that. So I have two questions.

00:34:27.760 First, do you watch South Park? And second, do you think it's okay to watch South Park? Because I

00:34:33.600 think it's hilarious. I think it's extremely witty and that it's a perfect use of satire to show us how

00:34:40.100 ridiculous our society is. But also, it's extremely vulgar. It mocks religion. It mocks Christianity. 1.00

00:34:48.440 And it has a lot of inappropriate themes, sexual innuendos, things like that. So is it okay to

00:34:54.380 engage with South Park or similar media and use it as entertainment, even if it doesn't align with

00:35:00.500 our values? Thanks. Great question. Yes, I think so. But as with anything, you've got to be a little

00:35:09.700 careful. I think Trey Parker and Matt Stone who made South Park, I think they're geniuses. I think

00:35:14.700 South Park, generally speaking, is very well done. I don't really watch it anymore. I've been watching

00:35:18.620 it since almost the first episodes, even when I was a little kid. I just don't watch a ton of TV

00:35:23.680 anymore. At most, I'll watch one episode of one show every couple of days now. But I still really

00:35:32.080 love South Park. They don't get everything right and they get some things pretty wrong. And you

00:35:36.300 mentioned on religion, they get some things really, really wrong. I remember their episode

00:35:39.420 about Mel Gibson and the Passion of the Christ movie, which was in part very, very funny that

00:35:45.220 they really missed it. They really missed the boat because as I recall, the conclusion of that episode

00:35:49.080 was, we shouldn't think about how Jesus died. We should just think about what he taught,

00:35:53.280 which is just a really ignorant, shallow understanding of Christianity. The point 0.98

00:35:57.560 actually is that he died and suffered in the Passion and on the cross and then rises again from

00:36:03.060 the dead in the resurrection and redeems man from sin, conquers sin on the cross, and then comes back up

00:36:08.900 and harrows hell and opens up the gates of heaven. And so if you miss that, it just exposes a really

00:36:15.380 shallow understanding of Christianity. But I think it's worth pointing out, Trey Parker and Matt Stone

00:36:20.340 are not atheists. What they've said, though, they mock all sorts of religions. They mock Mormonism

00:36:26.260 famously. They say that of all the crazy, wild religious claims out there, I think it was Trey 0.52

00:36:32.700 Parker made this point. He said, the craziest one I've ever heard is that this whole world that we're

00:36:37.140 living in, everything, all of creation, all our loves and fears and hopes and dreams, it's all just

00:36:41.560 cuz, just cuz, whatever. He says the craziest religion is atheism. And so though he mocks 0.74

00:36:49.740 religion and maybe they haven't exhibited the highest level understanding of religion,

00:36:54.060 I don't think they're exactly hostile to religion necessarily. And their political satire is very

00:37:01.920 often really, really great. And especially in those early seasons, really, really funny stuff.

00:37:06.160 So yeah, as with anything, you know, do I think it's okay to have a drink? I do. You should probably

00:37:12.700 not have 15 drinks and then, you know, go get in your car and go on a rampage downtown. But

00:37:18.160 enjoyed responsibly. I think South Park is really, really funny. Next question.

00:37:24.180 Hi, Michael. I'm struggling to understand God and now he decides to answer prayers. I consider the

00:37:30.120 countless times I have said a prayer for something trivial, like finding my car keys. And I believe

00:37:34.960 to have God help me in those situations. I then relate this to a real desperate problem,

00:37:40.600 such as a mother losing her children, to kidnapping, and she is trying desperately to find them. So

00:37:45.500 often those children are never found, even though the loving parents may have prayed so fervently

00:37:50.160 and lived righteously in the gospel. This contrast between the two makes me confused about prayer

00:37:55.720 completely. Why would God help me discover the major I should take in school, the girls I should date, 0.98

00:38:00.700 the friends I should find, but then so often won't help mothers and fathers find their lost

00:38:04.740 children, or won't help a child escape, for instance, from a tyrannical government or abusive

00:38:08.880 family. I believe prayer is essential in life to align ourselves to God's will. But these contrasting

00:38:14.720 situations has me completely perplexed, but I think you can help me understand. Thanks so much.

00:38:19.580 Really good question. You're asking about two distinct concepts, and I think your confusion is

00:38:25.940 coming, is because you're, you're eliding the two a little bit. When we pray, Jesus tells us how to

00:38:31.840 pray in the gospels. He says, when you pray, pray like this, our father who art in heaven,

00:38:37.140 hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. The prayer goes

00:38:41.820 on. Thy will be done is very, very important here. Then you fast forward to Jesus in the garden of

00:38:47.400 Gethsemane, where he's awaiting his passion and crucifixion. And he says, he, he prays to God the

00:38:54.540 Father. And he says, please, Father, let this cup pass from my lips. But not, not my will be done,

00:39:02.600 but thy will be done. So Christ anticipating experiencing the worst possible thing that

00:39:10.620 anyone could possibly experience, that he uniquely can experience, that we actually can't even really

00:39:16.140 experience because we're not God. And he says, but not my will be done, but thy will be done.

00:39:23.200 So when we ask things of God, and we, we, of course, we ask things of God, there are different

00:39:28.340 kinds of prayer. There's prayer where you're sort of just contemplating and adoring God and worshiping

00:39:34.140 God. There's prayer where you are petitioning God and you're asking God for certain things.

00:39:38.480 You know, when I was in that delivery room with sweet little Elise a couple of weeks ago, you know,

00:39:42.620 I was praying, please God, let this all go okay. Let this all be safe and good and everything.

00:39:47.260 And so I'm making an ask. Now, when we are making an ask of God, we are relying on God's omnipotence.

00:39:58.060 And we're making an ask of God's omnipotence. We do not have the power, and in the gospel,

00:40:05.780 when Christ says, ask and you shall receive, that does not mean that we have the power to boss God

00:40:09.760 around. If we could boss God around, God would not be God. That would be incoherent.

00:40:13.320 But frequently, when we ask things of God, we get them in a way that can be quite surprising

00:40:21.600 the first, the first few times it happens in a way that can seem miraculous and sometimes is

00:40:27.260 miraculous. But you don't always get what you want. And in those cases, what we are called upon to do

00:40:33.460 is trust not merely in God's omnipotence, but in God's omniscience, in God's all-knowing,

00:40:40.940 in God's knowing that, listen, kid, I know you're upset now. I know this can be really hard.

00:40:47.020 But where were you when I laid the foundations of the world? Where were you when I set the order

00:40:50.760 to the universe? You really think you're going to do a better job than I am at this thing?

00:40:54.780 I don't think so. A great way to think about this, and this has happened in my own life,

00:40:59.960 is where you are up for a job, and you really want to get this job, and this is your dream job,

00:41:03.620 and you think it'll make a great life. And then you don't get it, and you're really disappointed.

00:41:07.540 And you pray, and you say, why didn't I get that dream job? And then two seconds later,

00:41:10.520 you end up in some other job that's way, way better and gives you a way, way, way better life.

00:41:13.920 And you couldn't have known that. God knew that, but you couldn't have known that.

00:41:18.580 And I don't mean to suggest, by the way, that every time something you ask for that is material,

00:41:23.900 and you don't get it, that you're going to get something greater that is in the material world.

00:41:27.820 You might not. You might not get the dream job, and then you might get cancer,

00:41:32.080 and then you might suffer for six years, and then you might die. And still, you might,

00:41:37.600 you might, and I think will ultimately be edified and sanctified by that. Or certainly,

00:41:44.820 certainly you could be. Certainly that could be, and will be, the best possible world.

00:41:50.620 Some people ask, why do we have free will? If we didn't have free will, then there wouldn't

00:41:54.540 have been a fall in the garden, and then everything would be perfect. And darn it, Adam and Eve, 0.96

00:41:58.660 why'd you have to do that? How can this be the greatest of all possible worlds? How can God be 0.98

00:42:03.160 all good if we live in this fallen world? And the conclusion, it seems to me, has to be that the

00:42:08.220 fallen world, with the incarnation and with the atonement, is actually better than just Adam and

00:42:15.640 Eve gallivanting around the Garden of Eden in perpetuity. This is what Christians exclaim on 1.00

00:42:20.180 Easter when they say, oh, happy fault that one for us so great, so glorious, a redeemer. Next question.

00:42:24.740 Hello, Mr. Knowles. I am a Christian, conservative Kansan, and I voted no on the Value Them Both

00:42:31.840 Amendment. I did not vote no because I am a squish, but precisely because I am not one. 0.98

00:42:38.700 The VTB Amendment's legislative wording would have impeded abortion from being fully banned in the

00:42:44.140 future. Dobbs left it possible to regulate abortion in the states. This pro-life bill would cement 0.84

00:42:50.660 regulation into our law and therefore not allow it to be banned, and so I voted no. To be clear,

00:42:59.260 I am specifically an abolitionist. Our voting beliefs are different from the pro-life movement,

00:43:04.840 since abolitionists only vote on legislature that bans abortion from conception, is immediate and

00:43:11.600 uncompromising, and criminalizes all parties involved. Allowing exceptions for abortion is

00:43:18.520 unbiblical. If we truly want abortion to be abolished in our country, we need to treat this 1.00

00:43:24.920 crime as one by giving it criminal consequences for both the doctor and the parents, no matter the

00:43:31.600 circumstances the child was conceived in. I'm curious as to what your take is on my decision to vote no

00:43:38.320 and on the abolitionist movement as a whole. Really, really good question. The short answer is I disagree

00:43:46.900 with your stance tactically, but not in principle. So you're referencing this Kansas referendum, this

00:43:55.480 amendment that came up for a referendum that failed. And I should point out, I just read some headlines

00:44:00.220 about it on the show, and people wrote in and they said, Michael, you misrepresented what the amendment

00:44:04.180 was. And I have no doubt that I did. I was basically just reading some amendments about, some headlines

00:44:09.000 rather, about the amendment. And I think part of the reason it failed and part of the controversy around it is

00:44:15.480 because there was some confusion, especially in the press, probably intentional, about what that amendment

00:44:20.160 would do. So let's take your understanding of the amendment, that actually this could really hurt us in the long

00:44:28.100 term because it would make it impossible to get totally perfect pro-life legislation, and therefore

00:44:33.660 you voted no. I totally respect that stance. And I'll plead ignorance on the minutia of the amendment

00:44:42.480 to begin with. So I'll zoom it out from that specific Kansas amendment to the issue more broadly.

00:44:48.920 I am perfectly willing to take a 90% win and then try to get the next 10% later on.

00:44:58.100 I think that's fine. I generally fear letting the perfect get in the way of the good.

00:45:03.820 I'm perfectly willing to make incremental change. You might object and say, no, the incremental change

00:45:10.160 is actually going to reduce the likelihood that we get the perfect outcome that I want.

00:45:17.060 I don't think that's true. I think that the way politics works is through momentum.

00:45:21.380 So I think incremental change actually will help us to achieve a kind of perfect goal, in this case,

00:45:25.740 banning abortion period. But reasonable people can disagree on that. The disagreement that we're

00:45:33.420 having is merely tactical, though. I don't think it's a disagreement on the principle. Next question.

00:45:38.940 Hey, Michael. My question is in regards to childhood sports. I've got one son who is very athletic and has

00:45:47.960 shown interest in pretty much all sports, but has definitely expressed interest in playing football

00:45:53.020 one day. And given how dangerous it is, I'm just curious what your thoughts are on football and if

00:46:01.380 you plan to let your sons play if they want to, or if you plan on trying to steer them more towards

00:46:07.960 soccer or tennis or baseball, basketball, what have you. Thanks, Michael.

00:46:14.160 Just knowing the Knowles genes, probably this is an unfounded fear that I would have that they will

00:46:21.100 be football stars. But maybe it's possible. Listen, my eldest son, he's got a really good arm.

00:46:27.400 And my newborn son, he came out looking like a real bruiser. So maybe they'll be real tough kids.

00:46:33.640 I mean, my gosh, the second kid came in, he was over nine pounds. He's a big guy. So maybe they'll be

00:46:38.660 big stars. I would not guide them to soccer, which I think is an abomination.

00:46:44.160 I would probably guide them toward baseball, the real American pastime. Football is a little bit

00:46:50.280 dangerous. I agree with that. And so I would be hesitant. I would take a moment and probably

00:46:54.680 discourage them from that. I also think baseball is a better sport. But I would at least be open

00:46:59.880 to it, though I would guide them in the direction of baseball. I want to get to at least one or two

00:47:04.680 regular mailbag questions before we go. From Julia, Michael, love the show. I believe every child needs

00:47:09.740 both a mother and a father, which is why I don't support gay adoption. Sounds like you agree with this idea. 1.00

00:47:13.780 This led me to wonder if you also believe single people should be barred from adopting. Thoughts?

00:47:18.080 Thanks. Yes, absolutely. Single people should be barred from adopting. If you believe that men and 1.00

00:47:24.580 women both have something to offer humanity and children, then I don't understand how you can 1.00

00:47:29.940 support homosexual adoption or single adoption. I know that some people really want to have kids.

00:47:35.080 Homosexuals want to have kids. Single people want to have kids. It's not about you. It's about the kid, 0.96

00:47:39.340 the only people who can be said to have rights in that kind of situation. We're talking about the

00:47:43.360 upbringing of kids, are the kids. So no, there are 36 couples estimated for every one newborn baby

00:47:51.180 put up for adoption in the United States. 36 couples who want to adopt. So we should prioritize people

00:47:56.720 who are married, who are actually married, man and woman, in a real marriage to adopt those children.

00:48:02.520 No question. Last question from Kyle. Michael, when will Senator Cruz announce you as his running mate?

00:48:07.620 Great. Thanks, Kyle. There are a few issues with that. One, Senator, I'm not being coy here or

00:48:14.020 anything. I don't know if Senator Cruz is going to run for president in 2024. And then there's this

00:48:17.940 minor issue, which is that I'm constitutionally ineligible at the moment because I will not be 35

00:48:23.840 on the day of the election or the inauguration. So we're just going to have to wait. Going to have

00:48:28.880 to wait at least one more cycle. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show. See you next time.
