The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1106 - Madonna Is Gay

00:00:00.080 Huge cultural news on this most sacred liberal festival of national coming out day.

00:00:07.680 64-year-old pop singer Madonna has come out as gay.

00:00:14.540 Here she is on TikTok, says, if I miss, I'm gay. And she throws her underwear and it misses. 0.99

00:00:19.440 And then she kind of throws her hand in the air to say that she is gay. Incredible news 0.98

00:00:25.100 that Madonna is finally accepting her true self, her most authentic identity as gay. 0.61

00:00:33.340 We just didn't know all this time, but that's her true self. Incredibly. It is incredible because

00:00:40.300 Madonna has famously dated lots and lots of men. Tony Ward, Sean Penn, Lenny Kravitz, Tupac,

00:00:49.300 Dennis Rodman, Carlos Leon, David Blaine, Vanilla Ice, Guy Ritchie, A-Rod,

00:00:55.100 Brahmin Zaibat, Timur Steffens, Ala Malik Williams. Those are just the first ones that pop up on

00:01:01.880 Google and the first result on Google, okay? She's been married twice, both times to men,

00:01:07.820 obviously. And I don't mean to broadcast the lady's secrets, but they're not secrets.

00:01:13.320 This has been her brand for over 40 years. If Madonna is a lesbian, this would appear to be a 1.00

00:01:19.340 rather recent turn of events. But the LGBT activists tell us, or at least they used to tell

00:01:25.320 us until very recently, that sexual orientation is something that you're born with, that it's

00:01:30.560 completely unchangeable. That's why we have to ban the so-called conversion therapy. Until the last few

00:01:38.160 years, when not only sexual orientation, but sex itself became something that changes constantly.

00:01:45.340 And however it changes, whenever it changes, that is your true, authentic self until tomorrow,

00:01:54.480 when it will probably change again. And then no one can ever bring up all the stuff that you said

00:01:59.240 and did, the person that you were just yesterday. National Coming Out Day is the perfect holiday 1.00

00:02:06.420 for a culture devoted to erasing its past, to denying its traditions, to maligning everything

00:02:13.240 that happened before this very moment. A culture that insists upon questioning every ancient truth

00:02:19.220 and bans you from questioning anything that happens to be in fashion among the ruling elite

00:02:24.800 right now. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:02:35.080 Welcome back to the show. I'm going to come out as a lesbian too. Many, many years now, 0.84

00:02:39.620 people have noted the similarities, the resemblance between me and Rachel Maddow. So let's do it.

00:02:45.520 It's National Coming Out Day. I am officially a lesbian. I don't think this will affect my marriage,

00:02:51.280 my relationship with my wife. My orientation will remain the same. But from now on,

00:02:56.760 in honor of National Coming Out Day, to get a little bit more attention, just like Madonna is

00:03:01.360 crying out for. I, Michael Knowles, am a lesbian. My favorite comment yesterday is from Dave M.,

00:03:08.260 who says, a friend of mine had a 37-year-old co-worker who did not return to work after his

00:03:12.780 third COVID shot. Three days later, they found him dead in his apartment, heart failure. Terrible

00:03:17.160 story. Many such cases. I have a relative who is very liberal and was, like all the liberals,

00:03:25.100 was COVID crazy and everyone has to get a thousand shots and everything. And she said,

00:03:28.600 Michael, COVID's really scary because my friend's father died about two weeks after getting the

00:03:36.580 shot. And I said, oh, are you, so you acknowledge that there are risks to the shot, that the shot is

00:03:44.840 causing heart problems and killing people? And she said, oh, no, Michael, you're crazy. What a crazy 1.00

00:03:49.300 conspiracy there is. I just mean, he had these heart problems because he had had COVID months prior.

00:03:55.020 No, no, no. The shot that he had a couple weeks before, or maybe it was even one week before.

00:03:59.320 No, that has nothing to do with it. No, it was obviously the COVID that he had six months prior.

00:04:02.860 That's what killed him. That's why you need to get the shot. People seriously think this. That's 0.98

00:04:06.660 what the whole culture told us to do. And then you have these sad stories, like you're describing

00:04:11.040 many, many such cases. We got to protect ourselves. Got to protect our homes. That's why you got to get

00:04:15.300 Ring. Right now, head on over to ring.com slash Knowles. I know what you're thinking. Ring,

00:05:17.560 slash Knowles. National Coming Out Day is not the only sacred liberal feast that we're celebrating this

00:05:23.680 week. I should have spoken more about this yesterday. I forgot. It's now, it's the most

00:05:28.440 important, it's the most important liberal sacred holiday of October 12th, 2022. That of course would be

00:05:35.980 Indigenous Peoples Day. Yes. No, that was, it was, I'm sorry, it was October 10th. Today is the 11th

00:05:44.380 National Coming Out Day. Tomorrow, I don't know what's tomorrow going to be, Transgender Awareness Day.

00:05:48.540 But yesterday was Indigenous Peoples Day, also known as Columbus Day. Columbus Day is a real holiday

00:05:55.000 that we've celebrated off and on since 1891, 1892. But certainly since the 1930s,

00:06:05.260 we've celebrated it very regularly until a bunch of liberals decided that they hate Christopher

00:06:08.940 Columbus because he discovered America and he brought Christianity and Western civilization

00:06:13.580 to the new world. And they've decided this is very, very bad. Even as they sip their Starbucks lattes and

00:06:19.560 type on their iPhones and enjoy all the privileges of being an American, they pretend that they would

00:06:24.580 rather live under the Aztec empire, having their hearts ripped out by maniacs on top of a pyramid.

00:06:29.860 So that's what they tell us. And it's not just the fringe people telling us this.

00:06:33.660 That's what Kamala Harris tells us. The vice president tweeted out yesterday,

00:06:38.340 on Indigenous Peoples Day, we pay respect to tribal nations and Indigenous history.

00:06:43.880 Today and every day, let us continue to celebrate and uplift the rich contributions

00:06:47.820 of Indigenous peoples. Their leadership has made our country stronger.

00:06:53.640 Now, of course, this doesn't really make a whole lot of sense because we are told,

00:06:59.340 on the one hand, the Indigenous peoples are so important. They've made our country stronger.

00:07:02.640 They're such an important part of our country. Also, we're really, really evil because we killed

00:07:07.100 all the Indigenous peoples. So which is it? Do they still exist and they make our country stronger?

00:07:11.940 Did we kill all of them and that's why we're so bad? Who are the Indigenous peoples that we're 1.00

00:07:15.940 talking about? Because when I think about the arrival of Columbus, 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean

00:07:21.200 blue. He arrived. And it's true that this experience of colonialism had some problems with it.

00:07:29.060 There's no question about that. Although it's worth correcting the historical record. Most of the

00:07:33.580 things that people accused Christopher Columbus of having done, he just didn't do. It was other

00:07:37.380 people. It was other Spaniards. In fact, Christopher Columbus very often was taking the side of the

00:07:42.660 Native Americans against some of the more aggressive and violent of the Spanish conquistadors and

00:07:47.920 explorers. The original crew, not the later crews, but the original crew that came with Columbus.

00:07:52.280 And actually, a lot of the crimes that he was accused of, he was accused of them by Francisco

00:07:59.000 de Bobadilla, who was his political rival and who took over his spot as governor of the West Indies.

00:08:04.160 So yes, it's true that there is essentially one document that says that Columbus did all these

00:08:12.080 terrible things. But it was written by his chief political rival. That would be like trusting an

00:08:17.020 account of Donald Trump's life written by Joe Biden. That just wouldn't make a whole lot of sense.

00:08:22.280 And in fact, he was the victim of a whole lot of calumny. But forget about that. Let's say that

00:08:28.360 Columbus did every single thing that they said that he did. All of the crimes that Columbus is accused of

00:08:33.480 in his entire life do not equal the horrors and crimes of one four-day period in 1487 at the

00:08:41.060 consecration of Tenochtitlan, when the Aztecs ritualistically slaughtered an estimated 84,000 people,

00:08:49.080 young people, women, ripped their still beating hearts out of their chests and kicked their bodies 1.00

00:08:55.000 down the side of the temple. It's a four-day period. And it wasn't just the Aztecs. Yes,

00:09:01.560 the Aztecs were particularly nasty. And yes, when the Aztec empire was overthrown, the conquered peoples 1.00

00:09:06.880 who were frequently sacrificed by the Aztecs celebrated. Of course they would have. But it

00:09:11.500 wasn't just them. It was the Carib Islanders. The Carib Islanders who gave us the word cannibal.

00:09:17.960 The word cannibal in our language comes from the Caribs because they were cannibals and they did all 1.00

00:09:23.800 sorts of crazy things. And when Christopher Columbus arrived in the New World, he met this nice group of

00:09:28.640 Indians called the Tainos and some of them had marks on their bodies. The marks were from the Caribs who 1.00

00:09:33.560 were complete savages. And it wasn't just the Caribs, by the way. Going all the way up into North America, 1.00

00:09:38.780 all the way up into upstate New York, the Iroquois practiced cannibalism. So many of the Native 1.00

00:09:44.480 American tribes practiced cannibalism. Christopher Columbus, for all his sins, the man never ate 0.73

00:09:50.160 people. Okay? And so why do we celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day? If you're comparing Christopher Columbus

00:09:56.360 and the Indigenous Peoples, qua the Indigenous Peoples, you know, them as a people, Columbus was a

00:10:03.300 zillion times better than they were. They did crazy stuff. They worshiped demons and slaughtered one

00:10:08.240 another constantly and then ate their bodies. You know, the Carib Islanders raised babies to eat, human 1.00

00:10:14.620 babies, and they considered that a particularly toothsome morsel, according to the biography by Samuel L.A.

00:10:19.620 Morrison, who's one of the most respected historians in America, in American history. So no, there's no

00:10:25.720 comparison here. I hate to put too fine a point on it, but Tony Soprano got this exactly right.

00:10:32.380 His history teacher, Mr. Cushman, is teaching your son that if Columbus was alive today, he would go on

00:10:38.720 trial for crimes against humanity like Milosevic and, you know, Europe. Your teacher said that?

00:10:45.360 It's not just my teacher. It's the truth. It's in my history book.

00:10:51.640 So you finally read a book and it's bullshit. Tony. 1.00

00:10:57.340 Look, you had to work in Columbus's shoes to see what he went through. People thought the world was

00:11:01.340 flat, for crying out loud. Then he lands on an island with a bunch of naked savages on it. I mean, 0.97

00:11:05.800 that took a lot of guts. You remember when we went to Florida, the heat, and those bugs?

00:11:10.520 Well, like it took guts to murder people and put them in chains.

00:11:13.240 He was a victim of his time.

00:11:14.880 Who cares? It's what he did.

00:11:16.400 He discovered America is what he did. He was a brave Italian explorer. And in this house,

00:11:20.760 Christopher Columbus is a hero. End of story.

00:11:23.400 End of story. Absolutely true. But that's not the end of the story for the liberals now. Robert Reich,

00:11:27.980 who is that sort of diminutive fellow who worked in the Clinton administration. He goes on cable news

00:11:31.940 sometimes, very left wing. He said, get Columbus Day out of your vocabulary.

00:11:36.000 Today is now Indigenous Peoples Day. And why? Who cares? It's just a holiday, right? Who cares? 1.00

00:11:41.820 The libs care. The libs care a lot. They focus a lot of time and energy and money on getting us all 1.00

00:11:46.200 to hate Christopher Columbus and take down the statues and to celebrate the Indigenous Peoples.

00:11:50.320 We're going to have Aztec Tenochtitlan Day or something. Why? Because it is a sign of cultural

00:11:56.160 conquest and political conquest. Because human beings need holidays and liturgy. Human beings need 0.90

00:12:05.440 order to their lives. What we celebrate, what we worship defines our culture. And previously,

00:12:14.820 we were a confident culture. We celebrated the man who brought Christianity to the new world,

00:12:19.560 the man who brought European civilization to the new world, the man who gave us our traditional

00:12:23.660 country, who started the chain of events that led to our traditional country. The libs hate all of 0.67

00:12:28.540 that. And they finally amassed enough political power that they seem pretty able to blot it out.

00:12:35.240 You Google what day is it on October 10th this year. You Google it. It's going to say Indigenous 0.97

00:12:39.440 Peoples Day. You talk to the Democrat Party. They're going to say Indigenous Peoples Day. You

00:12:43.040 talk to your teachers. They're going to say Indigenous Peoples Day. They have conquered that 1.00

00:12:47.800 holiday. It's a sign of a conquest, not of the Native Americans, not of the new world. 1.00

00:12:52.720 It's a conquest of you and your country. Did you know that over 85% of grass-fed beef sold in U.S. 0.92

00:13:37.420 madness is we're told, look, Columbus was terrible to the people that we would now call the Hispanic

00:13:43.740 people. Christopher Columbus, of course, invented the Hispanic people. Hispanic people are the 1.00

00:13:49.040 combination of Spanish people and Native Americans. But the people who have this indigenous blood 0.98

00:13:56.300 ancestry in America, they absolutely hate Columbus. And it's so offensive to celebrate Columbus Day.

00:14:02.480 And that's why we've got to celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day. Here's a poll just came out. This is a

00:14:07.460 poll from WPA Intelligence. It was on behalf of the Latino advocacy group Bienvenido, surveyed a little

00:14:18.400 under 1,100 respondents. And it asked, how do you view Christopher Columbus? The majority of the

00:14:26.460 respondents view him favorably. Of course. There's a whole country named after him down there.

00:14:34.420 Columbia, remember that country? It's named after Christopher. It's not named after the town in

00:14:38.460 Ohio. The town in Ohio is also named after Christopher Columbus. So the majority of Hispanics 0.87

00:14:42.440 view Columbus favorably. About 53 percent. Only 24 percent view him unfavorably. So his net favorables

00:14:49.580 are 29 points. It's pretty good. Meanwhile, the same polling firm asked Hispanics their view of Joe

00:14:56.380 Biden. Only 49 percent of Hispanics view Biden positively. 42 percent have a negative view of him. That gives

00:15:05.560 him a net favorable of seven points. So Christopher Columbus is much, much, much more popular among

00:15:11.240 Hispanics than Joe Biden is. But it gets better because they asked him about their views on Kamala

00:15:17.940 Harris. So only 45 percent say they have a favorable view of Kamala Harris. 41 percent view her unfavorably. 0.84

00:15:26.400 So that's a net favorable of four points. Obviously, Christopher Columbus is much, much more popular.

00:15:33.700 So what does this tell us? Forget about Columbus for a second. Forget about Hispanics. Forget about 1.00

00:15:39.300 Biden and Harris. This tells us that the cultural revolution that we are seeing,

00:15:46.580 the canceling of historical figures and traditional objects of veneration, the reordering of our language,

00:15:53.260 of our holidays, of our liturgical calendar, all this craziness is not the result of a change in

00:16:01.320 public opinion. This is not the organic bubbling up from the people whose views are changing. Get on

00:16:07.420 board, you old fogies. The kids are creating a new world. It's not that at all. This is being imposed

00:16:13.940 top down from liberal elites. Liberal elites who are pretending, they're pretending to be offended on

00:16:22.060 behalf of the Hispanic people. Well, we have to. We can't celebrate Christopher Columbus because that 1.00

00:16:26.640 would be so mean to Hispanics. The Hispanics like Christopher Columbus. They don't like you, 1.00

00:16:31.140 actually. And by you, I'm sorry. I don't mean you, the listener. I mean you, Joe Biden, and Kamala

00:16:36.100 Harris. The Hispanics are pretty clear they don't like you guys that much. They do like Christopher 1.00

00:16:41.580 Columbus. So why are you guys canceling Christopher Columbus on behalf of the Hispanics who don't like

00:16:46.800 you? Because it has nothing to do with the people. It has everything to do with imposing this from the

00:16:54.200 top down. Liberalism is not the voice of the people. And the liberals who are always attacking

00:17:03.680 the far right conservatives. And I'm talking about the liberals on the left and even the squishy ones

00:17:07.480 in the center and on the center right. The ones who are a little afraid. Well, we can't legislate

00:17:13.400 morality. We can't impose our views on others. We can't. We've got a, you know, it's got problems,

00:17:18.940 but liberalism, you know, it's the best thing we've got. At least the classical kind of liberalism or

00:17:23.040 just liberalism, you know, it just gives people freedom to voice their opinions. It doesn't.

00:17:27.680 It doesn't. That's what it pretends to do. But that is not what liberalism in practice does.

00:17:33.080 Liberalism, like all political movements, is the movement of a small, motivated political minority

00:17:40.460 imposing its views on other people. That's almost always true in politics. And there's a silver lining

00:17:46.480 to that. There's a bright side to that, which is that sometimes conservatives get a little discouraged.

00:17:51.180 We get pretty blackpilled because we'll say, well, there just aren't enough of us.

00:17:55.320 You look at the polling numbers, there just aren't enough of us who support life,

00:17:58.900 who support our traditional freedoms and civil liberties, who support the traditional American

00:18:04.900 nation, you know, apple pie and truth justice in the American way. We're just, we're not a majority

00:18:11.020 anymore. So what? So what? Who cares? Public Christianity is on the decline. Church attendance

00:18:18.000 is on the decline. Yeah. Okay. So what? Were the Bolsheviks the majority of Russians? No.

00:18:24.500 They were a distinct minority, a very, very small minority of political radicals.

00:18:30.160 And they had a great effect. Do you think the leftists here in America were a majority of America

00:18:35.140 by the time they reordered our culture? They're not a majority of America today, not even close.

00:18:40.160 No, we can do this stuff. We can defend everything we hold dear from the American border

00:18:50.260 to the American family, to our communities, to our Second Amendment rights, to our religious

00:18:56.480 protections, all the way to Christopher Columbus. We can defend these things, even if we don't have

00:19:01.300 a majority of the people or whatever. You think the libs have a majority of the people? Not even close.

00:19:06.460 Our views are much more popular than their views are. Transing the kids and killing all the babies 1.00

00:19:11.720 and opening up the borders and shipping our jobs overseas and fighting wars of adventure in the middle

00:19:17.020 of nowhere for some abstract vision of global liberalism so we can raise a pride flag in Kandahar

00:19:22.940 or whatever is just, none of that stuff is popular at all. The conservative views are much,

00:19:27.400 much more popular. So why are we losing? Because popularity is not all that matters in politics.

00:19:33.020 It's not even the most important thing that matters. We don't have the institutions. We don't

00:19:36.000 have the power. And most importantly, we don't have the guts to wield political power on the rare

00:19:39.880 occasions we get it. But please do not tell me that all hope is lost because only 45% of Americans

00:19:48.100 support our views. That's ridiculous. It just requires a little clarity and vision and courage, 0.97

00:19:53.940 without question. The liberal agenda is being imposed by elites from above. Nowhere is this clearer

00:20:02.320 right now than in Ukraine, specifically on the expedition of the president of the American

00:20:11.240 Federation of Teachers to Ukraine. Yes, Randy Weingarten, who is this crooked union boss that pulls a lot of

00:20:21.740 strings in the Democrat party. Randy Weingarten, for some reason, is in Ukraine. She's there to,

00:20:27.700 in her words, assess the damage after the Russian invasion and bombardment of Ukraine.

00:20:36.820 Why? Why? For so many people, so much of the Ukraine war does not make a lot of sense.

00:20:44.900 People are asking, why are we involved in Ukraine? Why are we sending all this money to Ukraine?

00:20:47.820 Why does this seem so important to so many of the kind of beltway type people, but it doesn't seem

00:20:54.840 important to ordinary Americans? And now you look at this, you say, why the hell is the teacher union

00:20:58.920 president in Ukraine? None of this makes sense. This doesn't make sense if you think that America

00:21:07.300 is a nation run like they told you it's run in Schoolhouse Rock. You know, I'm a bill up on Capitol

00:21:12.800 Hill, and the funding bills originate in the House, and then they go to the Senate,

00:21:16.940 and then they're signed by the president, and then that's how our government works. And if you

00:21:19.860 want to make some change in this world, just call your congressman, and that's it. It's just laid

00:21:24.920 out in the Constitution. That's not how the government actually works. Most of the laws,

00:21:30.800 the actual laws that affect our actual lives in this country, are not passed by legislators that we

00:21:36.980 elect. Most of those laws are written by unaccountable careers, bureaucrats who don't give a damn what 0.98

00:21:41.420 happens in the elections. And nowhere is this clearer than on foreign policy. Since at least

00:21:46.660 the end of World War II, the American public has not had very much to say about foreign policy.

00:21:52.740 A little bit here, a little bit there, but as a rule, and anybody in Washington will tell you this,

00:21:58.000 foreign policy is essentially run by the deep state. And there are some good arguments for this.

00:22:02.940 If the American foreign policy were entirely contingent on elections that happen in some cases every

00:22:08.440 two years, then you would have no continuity. You would have nations around the world not being

00:22:13.260 able to plan or trust in the American foreign policy. You would have major institutions, especially

00:22:21.280 major financial institutions, corporations, not being able to plan ahead. You certainly would not

00:22:27.220 be able to have the U.S. dollar be the global reserve currency, right? Because the U.S. dollar is the

00:22:33.560 global reserve currency is predicated largely on the fact that America is not a nation like they say

00:22:39.860 in Schoolhouse Rock. America is a global empire. We are the global hegemon, at least for now. And so

00:22:46.540 we run the entire world. And that's why the whole rest of the world buys into the U.S. dollar and allows

00:22:52.080 us to have the once strong economy that we had. If you understand that America is not a nation like you

00:23:00.140 were taught in fifth grade, but America is a global liberal empire that is governed by a liberal elite

00:23:07.800 managerial blob, then it makes a lot of sense that Randy Weingarten would fly to Ukraine. Because the

00:23:15.040 war in Ukraine is a war to protect the American empire. At least that's our involvement in the war. 0.93

00:23:20.440 The war from the perspective of Russia, which invaded, is to expand the Russian territory and to oppose the

00:23:26.840 expansion of NATO. The war in Ukraine, it actually is the only way that it makes sense that we're

00:23:34.240 involved in the war in Ukraine. Obviously, Russia's not bombing New York yet. Russia's not bombing Los

00:23:39.120 Angeles. But America views Kiev, America views Ukraine as part of its strategic interest. Whether

00:23:45.900 or not it is part of America's strategic interest, that is a question that remains open. But that is

00:23:53.020 the argument, at least. And so Randy Weingarten, no, she's not a congressman. She's not a U.S. senator.

00:23:57.300 She's not a governor or anything like that. She's actually more important than really any of those

00:24:01.640 people. Because Randy Weingarten is the head of one of the most powerful unions. And that union has a

00:24:09.120 lot of influence in the liberal blob establishment. And so Joe Biden is going to pay a lot more attention

00:24:14.960 to Randy Weingarten's opinion than he is to some random Democrat congressman, without question.

00:24:21.260 He's going to pay a lot more attention to the heads of certain woke liberal corporations. He's going to

00:24:24.640 pay a lot more attention to the heads in academia, to the press, to Silicon Valley. Those are the

00:24:29.900 people that wield power. And they don't just wield power within our borders. We don't have borders

00:24:32.900 anymore. They wield power over the entire American liberal empire. Now, the problem with managing this

00:24:41.620 liberal empire is you get pulled into all sorts of wars that you don't necessarily want to be

00:24:46.320 involved in, notably Ukraine, which, according to Joe Biden, is bringing us to the brink of nuclear

00:24:52.780 Armageddon. Those aren't my words. Those are his words. He mentioned this at a fundraiser. And so on

00:24:58.160 ABC News, the anchor on ABC asks John Kirby, who's the Pentagon spokesman, hey, what about Biden's crazy

00:25:04.640 comments here on nuclear Armageddon? Here's what the Pentagon says. Joining me now is White House

00:25:10.500 National Security Council spokesman John Kirby. Good morning, John. Let's start with President

00:25:16.500 Biden's comments saying we are facing the potential of a nuclear Armageddon. I know the White House has

00:25:21.940 said these are consistent with comments he has used in the past, but he's never said anything quite as

00:25:26.960 stark as this. So is the president right? Are we facing a potential nuclear Armageddon?

00:25:32.460 The president was reflecting the very high stakes that they're in in play right now, Martha, when you have

00:25:38.680 modern nuclear power and the leader of that modern nuclear power willing to use irresponsible rhetoric

00:25:44.300 the way that Mr. Putin has several times in just the last week or two, as well as the high tensions

00:25:52.000 in Ukraine over just the course of the last few days. So the president, I think, was accurately

00:25:56.680 reflecting the fact that the stakes are very high right now. So there's Kirby, who I misspoke. He's no

00:26:02.540 longer the Pentagon spokesman. Now he's the National Security Council spokesman. He doubles down. He says,

00:26:06.760 oh, the president called it a risk of nuclear Armageddon. Oh, yeah, that's what it is. He's

00:26:13.860 accurately describing the stakes and the risks. I'll tell you, I know that Trump was a really bad guy.

00:26:20.600 Trump was such a bad guy. He sent all those really mean tweets about Mika Brzezinski's face. He was just,

00:26:25.620 wasn't he just awful? I will say, though, we weren't on the brink of nuclear Armageddon under Trump.

00:26:30.860 You know, and so I think unbalance, like I could get mean tweets about Mika Brzezinski's face and

00:26:41.780 no nuclear Armageddon, or I could get that wonderful return to normalcy with good old Joe

00:26:48.500 Biden, who just wears his aviators and licks ice cream cones and falls off of bicycles,

00:26:52.000 but be ever closer to the risk of nuclear Armageddon. I think I'm going to pick the orange

00:26:57.560 guy. Call me crazy. I know I don't want to be politically incorrect, but of course that would

00:27:02.080 make sense, right? But they're all doubling down because it's true. As I've said from the beginning

00:27:07.800 in Ukraine, wars have started for a lot less. World wars have started for a lot less than what we're

00:27:12.500 seeing right now in the first major war in Europe in 70 years. And so in response to this,

00:27:17.660 are you seeing an off-ramp? Are you seeing a de-escalation? No. Vladimir Zelensky,

00:27:24.460 the president of Ukraine, is now calling on NATO to launch preemptive strikes on Russia.

00:27:30.800 What should NATO do? Eliminate the possibility of Russia using nuclear weapons.

00:27:38.600 But what is important, I once again appeal to the international community as I did before February

00:27:43.720 2014. We need preemptive strikes so that they'll know what will happen to them if they use nukes,

00:27:51.600 nukes, and not the other way around. Don't wait for Russia's nuclear strikes and then say, 0.79

00:27:56.440 oh, since you did this, take that from us. Reconsider the way you apply pressure. This

00:28:03.920 is what NATO should do. Reconsider the order in which it applies pressure on Russia.

00:28:07.520 I think I've had enough of this guy. I don't know about you. I think that we fought a Cold War

00:28:17.120 for, what was it, 60 years almost? A little bit less than that. 50 years or so? Without ever once

00:28:27.200 getting into a direct public confrontation with Russia. And we did that in such a painstaking way

00:28:34.800 because we knew that there was such a thing as mutually assured destruction. And we knew that

00:28:39.400 it's not a good idea to get into a direct public shooting war with a nuclear major power.

00:28:47.000 And we did it and it was very, very difficult to do, but it took really wise, careful statesmen

00:28:52.080 to, and we got very close to the brink sometimes. Actually, a lot of foreign policy analysts are

00:28:57.840 saying we are now as close to direct nuclear war as we have been since the Cuban Missile Crisis,

00:29:02.500 which was the closest we got in the Cold War. But thankfully there was an exit ramp there.

00:29:06.820 And then this freaking guy is telling us to launch direct strikes. The whole thing that we spent the 0.81

00:29:11.200 entire Cold War avoiding. This guy, Vladimir Zelensky says, come on, do it, do it, do it. For

00:29:16.100 what? For what? I get it. I get it that Zelensky wants to keep his country and he wants to stay in

00:29:21.520 power. I get it that it is evil to go in and invade a country and bomb all sorts of, I get it.

00:29:29.040 War is a dirty, rotten, horrible business and Ukraine's in a very dangerous part of the world 1.00

00:29:33.780 and that's been true for a very long time. I get it. People are comparing Vladimir Zelensky

00:29:37.460 to Winston Churchill. In a way, he's exactly like Winston Churchill, not only because he is

00:29:41.660 demonstrating some courage and standing up and defending his country, but because he's trying

00:29:45.240 to drag America into war. That's why. That's what makes him Winston Churchill.

00:29:49.880 Well, but whereas the United States might have some particular interest in a war that could

00:29:58.280 dominate the entire European continent, do we really think the same stakes are at play here

00:30:02.480 in Ukraine? Do we really think there's no off ramp here? What about when Joe Biden said not that long

00:30:10.120 ago that if Russia just invades the eastern part of Ukraine, it won't be a big deal? Remember that?

00:30:13.420 Just a minor incursion. Where was all this tough talk about the territorial integrity of Ukraine back

00:30:19.560 then? What about when Barack Obama said that if Putin wants to exhibit greater strength and power in

00:30:28.600 his traditional sphere of influence, that's not a big problem. What about then? What about on the more

00:30:32.320 conservative side of the aisle when you had people like, I don't know, Henry Kissinger, Daniel Patrick

00:30:37.080 Moynihan, George Kennan, all saying maybe NATO should not expect, forget those guys,

00:30:42.940 Pat Buchanan for that matter, that NATO should not be expanding eastward and should be a little

00:30:48.500 more careful about how they do that. What about those voices? Huh? But no, what are we hearing now?

00:30:54.980 I don't blame Zelensky for asking for more Western support. He's doing what he thinks he has to do in

00:31:02.060 the best interests of his country. So I don't really blame him. I do blame the liberal blob that is

00:31:06.940 completely destroying our foreign policy by indulging in this kind of stuff. It's completely insane.

00:31:12.940 It was completely insane to dangle NATO membership in front of Ukraine. It was completely insane to

00:31:19.000 dangle EU membership in front of Ukraine. It is completely insane not to try to find some kind 0.95

00:31:24.960 of off-ramp here. I was speaking yesterday with a member. He's a foreign policy expert. He worked for

00:31:33.700 the CIA. He was a major Russia guy at the CIA. He worked for Vice President Dick Cheney. He's hopped

00:31:40.920 around think tanks. Very serious guy who pointed out, look, showing American strength is a good

00:31:46.140 thing. But the way that we were able to avert catastrophe in the Cuban Missile Crisis was to

00:31:52.540 show American military strength, institute a blockade in all but name, but then also to do the

00:31:57.760 behind-the-scenes diplomacy to find an off-ramp, which they managed to do. Are you seeing that anywhere

00:32:02.360 here? Here? I'm not seeing that anywhere in the U.S. policy with regard to Russia. I'm only seeing

00:32:12.500 the military escalation, but I'm not seeing any diplomatic off-ramp. There was a guy from the

00:32:17.460 Atlantic Council, Alex Pleatsas. He worked for the Pentagon. He worked for the intelligence community.

00:32:22.940 Now he's a fellow at the Atlantic Council. He posted yesterday this long thread about how we've got to

00:32:28.260 stop complicating this matter of the war in Ukraine. He says, after the time in Ukraine that I've spent

00:32:34.840 there, I can confirm Russia is running a strategic influence campaign inside the United States

00:32:38.700 targeting GOP voters before the midterm election in an attempt to undermine support for Ukraine and

00:32:43.660 cut off weapons and support. Russian propaganda is spreading lies. Their objective is to try and sway

00:32:49.520 a new Congress to cut off support. Russia is spreading false narratives about money and weapons

00:32:53.320 leaving the country on the black market. That isn't true. If that was happening, they wouldn't be

00:32:56.600 pushing the Russians back in a counter-offensive. Russia is also spreading nonsense about Nazism in

00:33:01.500 Ukraine, of which I saw none. The Ukrainians need what they've been given and are asking for. 1.00

00:33:06.360 Those who are spreading any of those narratives mentioned above are pushing Russian propaganda

00:33:09.680 and undermining national security. Okay, what is he saying? So this guy, this Atlantic Council fellow,

00:33:15.220 is saying that the Russians, Putin, is targeting American conservatives with propaganda

00:33:22.480 to convince them to not want to fund as much of the war in Ukraine and that if the Republicans give

00:33:31.420 into this and we stop funding the war in Ukraine, we're just going to be Putin puppets and undermining 0.53

00:33:37.800 national security. That's kind of a weird part at the end, right? Undermining national security.

00:33:43.440 What is the American national security interest in Ukraine? There isn't one. There is an American

00:33:51.700 international interest in Ukraine. There's an interest to the American global empire in Ukraine,

00:33:56.740 perhaps. But there is no American national security interest in Ukraine whatsoever.

00:34:03.460 Russia could conquer all of Ukraine today. It would not change American national security. 0.60

00:34:09.740 Might be a very sad thing. Might be terrible for the state of the world. Might upset the world order.

00:34:14.120 I'm not questioning that. But national security, it's going to undermine, because of what?

00:34:18.600 Because you're going to see the Russians start firing missiles from Kiev instead of Moscow? It's

00:34:24.580 ridiculous. But okay, what about his main argument? Putin targeting the American conservatives with 0.87

00:34:32.260 his propaganda, saying that there is a Nazi problem in Ukraine, the nonsense about Nazism in Ukraine.

00:34:39.120 Okay, let's take a look at how Putin is targeting those conservatives. How about this article?

00:34:44.880 Ukraine's Nazi problem is real, even if Putin's denazification claim isn't. That's an article

00:34:50.640 from that right-wing outlet NBC News. Is that where the Republicans get all their news from,

00:34:56.720 those American conservatives? No, you know where they probably get their news from? CNN. That's

00:35:02.520 probably it, right? A far-right battalion has a key role in Ukraine's resistance. Its neo-Nazi history

00:35:07.240 has been exploited by Putin. So this is the version of Republicans' pounce for international

00:35:13.220 politics. Putin pounces. He's exploiting this. But they're admitting, this is CNN is admitting not

00:35:17.740 that long ago, after the war started, March 30th, says, yes, Ukraine has this neo-Nazi issue in the

00:35:23.260 country. Okay, that's how Putin is pressuring. That's how he's using the media to influence

00:35:29.680 conservatives is by publishing things in CNN. That doesn't make a lot of sense. The nation?

00:35:33.300 How about the nation? Nation, one of the most left-wing outlets in the country. Neo-Nazis in the far

00:35:38.200 right are on the march in Ukraine. Gosh, Putin's propaganda machine needs to get a little bit

00:35:42.640 better targeting, don't you think, if he really wants to influence those Republicans with all that

00:35:46.460 nonsense about Nazism in Ukraine? Salon, salon.com, even further left probably. Are there really neo-Nazis

00:35:53.240 fighting for Ukraine? Well, yes, but it's a long story. Okay, there we are, also from Salon. And then

00:35:57.500 here's the piece de resistance. This is my favorite one. Ukraine's got a real problem with far-right

00:36:03.700 violence. And no, Russia Today didn't write this headline. It goes on to say that

00:36:10.780 there are Nazi groups such as the C-14 group that have ties to neo-Nazis and promote national

00:36:24.820 patriotic education projects in the country. They're connected to the Azov Battalion, the national 0.93

00:36:29.240 militia. And so where is this article from? Oh, this is from the Atlantic Council. This is coming

00:36:36.500 from the same think tank that this guy is a fellow at. This guy, Alex Plitsas, who says that if you

00:36:44.140 ever suggest that Ukraine is a complicated place and you maybe bring up the prospect of Nazism having

00:36:50.900 a role in Ukraine, that you're pushing nonsense and Putin propaganda. So this guy's own think tank is

00:36:56.800 pushing Putin propaganda, according to him. But of course, it's preposterous. It's the very same

00:37:03.380 liberals who are telling us now we can't raise any questions about the nature of the war in Ukraine

00:37:08.340 and what exactly the American role should be in that war. And if we should really just keep pushing

00:37:13.080 for nuclear Armageddon and launch strikes on Moscow for Ukraine. The very same people were the ones who 0.97

00:37:18.340 were telling us not that long ago that Ukraine's got this Nazi problem. It's a terrible place. It's awful.

00:37:24.160 Remember, they impeached Trump for allegedly colluding with the Ukrainians. With the Ukrainians, 0.93

00:37:30.100 they said. But that was then. This is now. And so from the beginning, my view on the war in Ukraine

00:37:36.380 is the least popular view. It's that it's complicated. People think I'm too soft on Putin.

00:37:43.440 People think I'm too soft on the West. People think I'm too, I'm just, I just think it's a complicated

00:37:50.900 conflict. And we should approach that conflict with care and caution and nuance. Because as the

00:37:57.040 President of the United States says, we are on the verge of nuclear Armageddon. That's my view.

00:38:01.680 But we're not allowed to have that view. Since at least the end of World War II, Americans are not

00:38:06.620 really permitted to have much say over American foreign policy. And partly this is for the good

00:38:13.460 reason that if American foreign policy changed every two years, certainly we couldn't have a global

00:38:17.380 empire. Nations wouldn't really trust us. We couldn't have, our corporations would not be

00:38:22.720 able to plan ahead into the future. So there is, I understand the reasoning for why basically

00:38:27.780 the liberal establishment took foreign policy out of the realm of self-government. But we're supposed

00:38:34.340 to have a self-government, right? We're supposed to have a republic. We should at least have some say

00:38:37.900 over our foreign policy, right? Shouldn't we at least be able to ask some questions?

00:38:42.420 Before the war in Ukraine broke out, you were not allowed to tweet support of this group that is at

00:38:48.780 issue here, the Azov Battalion on Facebook. That was called promoting Nazi propaganda. Your posts would 0.59

00:38:55.180 be taken down. Then all of a sudden the war in Ukraine starts. And because Facebook is supportive

00:39:00.340 of the war in Ukraine, and because the liberal establishment is supportive of it, all of a sudden you

00:39:04.800 are allowed to post nice things about the neo-Nazi group. And maybe there's a good reason for that.

00:39:09.500 Maybe they say, well, the invasion by Russia is so serious and such a threat to the world order that 0.80

00:39:14.260 we have to, but that's not my point. My point is that again and again, the left tells us,

00:39:21.180 hey, everything we told you yesterday, yeah, forget about that. That's not real.

00:39:26.200 Yesterday, Oceania was at war with Eurasia. No, no, no, it wasn't. Oceania is at war with East Asia. 0.74

00:39:35.040 Oceania has always been at war with East Asia. It's the same issue with Madonna going lesbian. 0.94

00:39:39.740 It's the same issue. It's the same issue with everything that the libs push us. It's the 0.52

00:39:44.140 same issue with, we talked about this yesterday on the show. The Boston Children's Hospital says

00:39:49.180 that a baby in the womb knows that he's transgender, and that's why we need to trans the kids. 0.95

00:39:53.820 Day before that, they were saying that there's no such thing as a baby in the womb. It's a stupid 1.00

00:39:56.900 blob of cells. It's not human. It's not alive. It's not a person. It doesn't know anything. It can't 1.00

00:40:00.980 know anything. It's just, it's nothing. But that was then, and this is now. We're not allowed to say

00:40:05.260 what they told us yesterday. It's constantly changing. That's why they have to erase the past.

00:40:09.300 There has to be an endless present. George Floyd's death literally set the world on fire,

00:40:14.700 divided America, and gave rise to the activist group Black Lives Matter. They raised $80 million

00:40:18.460 through fundraising, but no one ever asked where the money went until now. Tomorrow,

00:40:22.960 Wednesday, October 12th, Candace Owens will reveal the truth in her new documentary,

00:40:26.400 The Greatest Lie Ever Sold, exclusively on Daily Wire+. Candace travels to Minneapolis to meet

00:40:31.400 the people who knew George Floyd and Derek Chauvin, and then follows the money to find out

00:40:35.900 just where it did and did not go. After more than two years of the leftist media ignoring

00:40:41.300 the story, the answers will shock and surprise you. The longer the media stays silent, the louder we

00:41:08.600 new documentary drops, The Greatest Lie Ever Sold, exclusively on Daily Wire+.

00:41:14.440 The conclusion of all this foreign policy talk is that for the past 70 or so years, Americans have not

00:41:27.660 been allowed to have much of a say over foreign policy. The foreign policy is just going to keep

00:41:32.140 on going on. It doesn't matter which party gets elected. It's going to basically be the same

00:41:35.100 foreign policy. So who's running it? Who's running the national security state?

00:41:39.880 Well, here's one of the people who's running the national security state, just to make you feel

00:41:43.840 extra super duper confident. This would be Joe Biden's Secretary of the Army, Christine Wormuth,

00:41:49.120 who wants to assure you that the army is not woke.

00:41:51.500 In terms of soldiers coming from marginalized communities or demographics that are not widely

00:41:59.840 represented in the army, that's part of why we've got to emphasize positive command climates and

00:42:05.860 inclusion. We get criticized, frankly, sometimes for being woke. I'm not sure what woke means. I think

00:42:13.040 woke means a lot of different things to different people. But first of all, I would say if woke means

00:42:20.140 we are not focused on war fighting, we are not focused on readiness, that doesn't reflect what

00:42:25.680 I see at installations all around the country or overseas when I go and visit. But I think we do

00:42:32.860 have a wide range of soldiers in our army, and we've got to make them all feel included. And that's why a

00:42:40.620 lot of our diversity, equity, and inclusion programs are important. They're not woke. They just have so many

00:42:47.880 diversity, equity, and inclusion programs because of the marginalized people who go into the army.

00:42:54.000 And they need to feel included. They need to feel really, really good about themselves and their

00:42:58.220 identities. And especially if they're a trans, lesbian, Zoroastrian. But we're not woke. We spend all of 0.97

00:43:07.480 our time focused on completely useless, puffy, liberal nonsense. And none of our time on winning wars 0.99

00:43:14.580 are coming up with a sensible foreign policy, which is why our global empire is in complete collapse.

00:43:20.920 That's it. That was the subtext of what she was saying. The very fact that this woman is the 0.91

00:43:26.860 secretary of the army shows you how woke the army is. No secretary of the army should know half the

00:43:33.460 words she just said. No secretary of the army should know diversity, equity, and inclusion. Those words

00:43:41.200 should not be in the secretary of the army's vocabulary. Do you know who I want for the

00:43:45.060 secretary of the army? I want the reincarnation of George Patton. I want every third word out of the

00:43:52.480 mouth of the secretary of the army to be an expletive. I want the army to bully its members to the point

00:44:01.720 of absolute breakdown. By the way, this was military training until about five minutes ago.

00:44:08.160 You break people down just so you can build them back up again and toughen them up.

00:44:14.100 The only thing I want the army to talk about is preparedness. I don't want to hear, and she's not

00:44:19.800 just the problem. I don't mean just to single her out. Look at Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs

00:44:22.940 of Staff, talking about how the army needs to waste its time reading liberal books about white rage.

00:44:29.000 I am feeling white rage listening to these people speak because these people are gutting American 1.00

00:44:34.800 national security. Forget about gutting the traditional American nation. Even if we have

00:44:40.480 a global empire, okay, that is what it is. Play the hand you're dealt, but they're screwing all that up

00:44:44.320 too. They're bringing us to the brink, to quote again the president, of nuclear Armageddon because

00:44:50.240 of their liberal delusions and fantasies and stupid priorities. Insane. The next Republican president, 1.00

00:44:59.740 if we are permitted to have another Republican president, got to watch those mail-in ballots.

00:45:04.960 But the next Republican president, next time we have any political power in this country,

00:45:08.760 you got to fire this lady. She's just a career apparatchik for the Democrats. She's just a liberal 1.00

00:45:15.040 bureaucrat careerist. Got to get rid of her. Got to get rid of Milley. Got to get rid of all these 1.00

00:45:20.840 people. We think it's a minor issue. We think, oh, who cares? So she said diversity, equity,

00:45:27.920 inclusion. It's not a big deal. It's a few training sessions. Okay, it's a few changes to

00:45:33.300 our vocabulary. Okay, we're going to have a transgender bathroom. Okay, we're going to change 1.00

00:45:38.760 Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples Day. Okay, it's this minor change, minor change, minor change.

00:45:43.480 Well, eventually your whole culture is different. And it is changed not for the better. It's changed

00:45:49.380 for the worse. Speaking of the army, though, there is one little silver lining here,

00:45:55.880 which is the Biden administration was just asked to clarify its stance on the draft.

00:46:02.620 The libs are pushing to draft women, though that remains controversial. As of now, the men

00:46:07.880 have to sign up for the draft. But what about the trans women? What about the men? They're men,

00:46:19.440 but then now they identify as women. And the Biden administration insists that they really are

00:46:23.580 women. And the Biden administration insists that these people who are totally women really need

00:46:28.540 to be allowed to serve in the military. So okay, but what about the draft? Women are not drafted at 1.00

00:46:37.560 the moment. Do the men who identify as women have to sign up for the draft? Because the answer to that 1.00

00:46:46.180 question is going to tell us what they really believe about transgenderism. And I am somewhat

00:46:52.220 relieved to say that the Biden administration knows that these people are not actually women. Biden

00:46:59.840 administration says, this is the new guidance on requirements for selective service. U.S. citizens or

00:47:04.700 immigrants who are born male and changed their gender to female are still required to register. Individuals who

00:47:11.140 are born female and changed their gender to male are not required to register. So there it is. Now,

00:47:17.080 you might say this is hypocritical. This is incoherent. Sure. But as Roche-Foucault points out, 0.95

00:47:22.140 hypocrisy is the tribute vice pays to virtue. And the Biden administration is admitting here for all

00:47:27.880 their claptrap talk about the transgender women are women. And we need all, they all, these hulking men 1.00

00:47:34.280 in leotards need to be able to swim on the girls swim team. And they need to be able to use the bathroom 1.00

00:47:38.720 in the locker rooms with the girls. But for all that crap, when it comes down to it, when it comes 0.98

00:47:43.000 down to brass tacks, they do know that these men are not actually women. They know it. They're just 0.99

00:47:51.880 deceiving everybody. And they're trying to even deceive themselves. I think also Biden is realizing

00:47:57.080 he's gone too far. He looks at the polls. And yes, the rule of the liberal establishment does not rely

00:48:03.700 entirely or even largely on public opinion. But public opinion still plays some role. The opinion

00:48:09.560 of the people still has influence over the kind of government that we're going to have, at least to

00:48:14.320 some degree. And I think Biden's looking at it. He says, man, we've gone way too far.

00:48:19.140 I'm very, very unpopular. I'm underwater on every single issue. And so now Biden

00:48:22.980 is really focusing in as we head, we're less than a month out from the midterm elections.

00:48:27.860 He's focusing in on two words. Let me start off with two words. Made in America.

00:48:38.320 Made in America.

00:48:40.260 Two words. That's right. I've just got one word for you. Madonna is a lesbian. I've just got three 0.74

00:48:48.180 words. My name is Michael Knowles, and this is the Michael Knowles Show. I've got two words,

00:48:52.260 made in America. Everyone is focusing in on Biden's senility and his inability to count or speak,

00:49:00.800 which is very funny. Biden gaffes are always very, very funny. To me, the more interesting

00:49:06.060 thing about this clip, though, is what it seems to signal about Biden's political views, or at the

00:49:14.620 very least of the political views of the administration that wrote that line. Made in

00:49:18.840 America. Hold on. Is this the same Joe Biden who said a rising China is great for everybody?

00:49:24.400 Is this the same Joe Biden of the same Democratic Party that's all in favor of shipping our jobs

00:49:28.700 overseas and not protecting American manufacturing? And regularly mocking, actually, the people who've

00:49:35.080 worked in American manufacturing and said, well, they just got to learn to code. Yeah, those people

00:49:39.400 whose jobs were shipping overseas or shipping down to Mexico, yeah, they're just dumb idiots. 1.00

00:49:44.560 You know, they should have gotten a degree in coding or journalism. They should get a blue 1.00

00:49:48.300 checkmark on Twitter. They're dumb idiots. You know, forget about made in America. Who cares? 1.00

00:49:52.540 Make everything overseas and then it'll be a little bit cheaper. And that'll somehow even out. That'll

00:49:57.140 somehow, is that the same guy? Because it sounds to me like when Joe Biden says, we've got a made in

00:50:03.900 America agenda. It sounds like he's kind of channeling the America First movement or the Make

00:50:11.740 America Great Again movement. It sounds to me like he's channeling Donald Trump. Donald Trump is the

00:50:17.860 first major politician, certainly presidential candidate in many years, who put a focus on

00:50:24.240 bringing manufacturing back to America in either party, in either party.

00:50:29.340 And now, what's most interesting to me about this clip is that Joe Biden realizes if he wants to be

00:50:36.780 more popular going into the midterm elections and going into the general in 2024, he's got to be

00:50:44.940 more like Trump. It's an admission. And it's why I tell you, do not lose heart. Do not think that all

00:50:50.860 your views, you're pro-life. You support marriage as it's been understood for all of human history.

00:50:58.800 You like your borders and your American flag and your apple pie and your hot dogs on the 4th of

00:51:03.480 July. And you like Christopher Columbus. And you don't think that 65-year-old pop singers should

00:51:07.960 just become lesbians all of a sudden. But your views, they're outdated. No one shares your views.

00:51:13.580 You're an old fogey. You're an artifact. They're just waiting for you to die. I'm just telling you, 0.99

00:51:17.600 your views are much more popular. Your views are not dead. The thing about the tradition is that

00:51:23.260 it's not some old, dusty, dead thing from the past. It's the most vibrant thing that we have

00:51:27.240 in the present because it has endured so much struggle, so many new fashions through history.

00:51:33.280 And it has endured because it is strong. And your views are strong. And it's not just me telling you

00:51:37.800 that. The President of the United States, in honest moments, the Democratic Party, in their honest

00:51:42.640 moments, they know that you're right too. And they know that those views resonate as well.

00:51:46.600 So stick by them. The rest of the show is continuing now. You do not want to miss it.

00:51:52.100 Okay, I'm bringing on the man that I'm playing at Fantasy Football this week. That would be

00:51:55.880 Jake Crane of Crane & Company. I made the huge mistake of allowing my producer Ben Davies to

00:52:01.400 choose my fantasy football team, which is why I think I'm in dead last right now. So for some reason,

00:52:07.340 I'm still making another bet on whether I'll win this week. I'm assuming I'll probably lose this one.

00:52:12.080 Last time I lost, I had to electrocute myself on camera. Who knows what we'll do this time?

00:52:17.260 Be sure to head on over there. The member block begins right now.
