The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1137 - Kanye Headlines The Craziest Broadcast In History

00:00:00.000 Some things happened yesterday. Some things were said.

00:00:06.320 On the bright side, though, at least Donald Trump is no longer the most controversial

00:00:11.160 candidate in the race. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:00:22.200 Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment yesterday is from Top10Guy1,

00:00:25.680 who says, amazing how it has turned into 15 jabs to flatten the curve. That's true.

00:00:31.800 So close. It's probably the case that we'll be done after 15, though, right? There's no way

00:00:36.820 Lucy's going to pick up that football again, right? I'm sure. Just one more. Just take one

00:00:41.820 more. Folks, you would have known early on, two years ago, that so much of the crazy COVID guidance

00:00:48.500 was ridiculous if you had been able to talk about it. But unfortunately, a lot of the big tech

00:00:54.960 companies clamped down. Love the establishment media. We're obviously pushing the COVID narrative.

00:01:00.160 That's why we need to be able to talk to one another. When you want to talk to your friends

00:01:02.840 and family, you got to check out Pure Talk. Right now, go to puretalk.com, enter code Knowles.

00:02:10.260 I was sort of scrolling through, and oh, yes, I saw the Alex Jones interview heard round the world.

00:02:18.640 I had a lot of work that I was supposed to do yesterday, could not do any of it because I,

00:02:23.520 like so many people, was glued to my screen. I didn't even at first know where to find this

00:02:28.800 Alex Jones show. I just was blowing up all over social media. Kanye West is on Alex Jones saying all

00:02:35.180 sorts of crazy things, and so I found the link, I think, on Rumble or something. Kanye in his own

00:02:41.540 words. I see good things about Hitler also. I love everyone, and Jewish people are not going to tell 1.00

00:02:48.060 me, you can love us, and you can love what we're doing to you with the contracts, and you can love

00:02:57.160 what we're, you know, what we're pushing with the pornography. But this guy that invented highways,

00:03:04.040 invented the very microphone that I use as a musician, you can't say out loud that this person

00:03:08.900 ever did anything good, and I'm done with that. I'm done with the classifications. Every human being

00:03:15.520 has something of value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler. How about that one? 0.95

00:03:21.580 Ari Emanuel, how you like that one? Hey, Ron, you going to do anything to fix Chicago?

00:03:25.740 Even like our truth, the fact that African Americans were in America before the pilgrims, 0.76

00:03:32.700 that truth is hidden, that we are actually the Native Americans, or some of us are Native.

00:03:38.680 So a couple of fact checks here. Black people were not in America before the pilgrims,

00:03:48.440 and they are not the Native Americans, the real Native Americans. And also, you do not,

00:03:54.960 in fact, have to hand it to Hitler. You never actually have to hand it to Hitler. And this, 0.72

00:04:04.000 for those who are just listening right now and can't see it, Kanye is wearing this full kind of

00:04:10.040 gimp suit, head mask thing, so you can't see his face. Throughout the interview, Alex Jones keeps saying,

00:04:17.740 is this really even Kanye that I'm talking to? It's an amazing thing to watch Alex Jones be made

00:04:23.920 uncomfortable in an interview because he comes out and he says, well, listen, people are calling you

00:04:29.760 a Nazi, but you're not a Nazi. And Kanye says, well, so that was very, very jarring. It's why everyone

00:04:39.340 tuned in, in the first place. But then, Kanye complicates his declaration of love for the Nazis

00:04:48.020 by declaring love for all sorts of other people.

00:04:51.100 I love the Zionists. I love the people that, that blocked my bank account because God runs the 1.00

00:04:58.880 world and uses everyone. I do love Hitler. I do love the Zionists. I love everyone. I love Jewish 1.00

00:05:06.040 people. I love Jewish people. We're talking about Stanley Kubrick. But Jesus is King, and I love

00:05:12.140 everyone. This is love speech, Ari. This is love speech in Jesus' name, the real King of Israel,

00:05:22.100 Jesus Christ. This is love speech. I love Jewish people. I love supermodels. I love everyone

00:05:32.380 accordingly from all the way from the Balenciagas to the Hitlers. Let me tell you a story. Hold on,

00:05:39.600 sir. Okay. To Ari Emanuel, to Jamie Dimon, to the people who, I love all of those.

00:05:45.600 You love Mao Zedong? Absolutely. Mao Roth. Well, clarify that. You're saying you're like

00:05:50.140 Christlike. You love everybody. Yeah. No matter, you love Jim Jones. You love Jeffrey Dahmer.

00:05:55.340 Absolutely. Okay, well, let's clarify. So you would assume that when someone says,

00:06:01.300 I love Hitler and I love the Nazis, that would be followed by, and I hate the Jews. But Kanye follows it 0.97

00:06:07.800 here by, I love the Jews. I love the Zionists. I love supermodels. I love Mao Zedong. I love Ari 0.77

00:06:13.460 Emanuel. I love Stalin. I love Lamp. I don't know. I love all of these things. But then he goes on and

00:06:22.500 does seem to have a special sort of ire for the Jews. And this is what led into another episode of this

00:06:29.180 three-hour-long interview that went viral as well, when Kanye pulled out an aquarium net and a bottle

00:06:38.780 of Yoohoo to do a sort of carrot-top prop comedy routine about the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin

00:06:47.520 Net and Yoohoo.

00:06:50.620 Net and Yoohoo. What we did is we brought Net and Yoohoo with us.

00:07:00.020 I'm in the twilight zone right now.

00:07:02.720 Net and Yoohoo, what do you have to say? What do you have to say to Alex Jones right now,

00:07:08.060 Nick Fuentes and Ye?

00:07:10.760 It was bad. It was bad for Trump to meet with Nick and Ye. Okay.

00:07:17.000 I had no idea your voice was going to sound like that, Net and Yoohoo.

00:07:23.880 So you don't like Benjamin Net and Yoohoo?

00:07:27.660 You get it? It's a net and Yoohoo. And he's sitting there with Nick Fuentes, who is working

00:07:34.920 on his campaign and who was at that Trump dinner and caused all the big stir. And then, however,

00:07:41.320 the interview took another turn and specifically on the whole Net and Yoohoo bit, he takes it in this

00:07:47.620 very personal direction. If I say something that's provocative towards the Mossad, is that

00:07:54.280 misogynistic? Hold on, let's hear from Net. Hey, I'm the head of the Mossad. I'm gonna kill you and

00:08:03.100 take your children away from you. Thanks a lot, Netting. Back to you, Alex. Please turn your 1.00

00:08:08.520 microphone around, sir. Man, I'm definitely overwhelmed here right now. Infowars.com,

00:08:15.740 tomorrow's news today. Listen, all I'm trying to get through here is, I believe every group

00:08:21.060 should be able to- I switched his name to Netting. I dropped the Yahoo so we didn't have to. I was

00:08:26.400 tired of picking up the Yahoo and the Netting. So for now, he's just Netting. I know some people

00:08:31.900 call him BB. I know some of you call him Yahoo, but we're gonna call him Netting. What you want,

00:08:39.860 Netting? Hey, yay, right after this, I'm gonna say you're crazy. I'm gonna take your family away 0.99

00:08:44.400 from you. We're not done with you yet. You cannot cause free thought. We have to control the history

00:08:50.080 books. We have to control the banks. And we have to go and kill people. Also, we're in the

00:08:54.640 So, at this point in the interview, if you're still watching, you're starting to think, okay,

00:09:04.720 something's gone even more off the rails here than at other times in Ye's public career. And then

00:09:12.300 he takes it all the way personal. So it starts out with Hitler and the Jews. Then it goes,

00:09:18.680 I love everybody. I love LAMP. I love the Jews. It's not just that I love Hitler. I 0.96

00:09:24.620 love the Jews. But really, I don't like Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel. But really,

00:09:29.020 this is all about this personal stuff, my family, my kids, my life. And then he kind of ditches the

00:09:36.880 BB Netanyahu thing and just gets right into his personal family problems.

00:09:43.100 My security is the fact that I didn't load up pornography last night. And I said,

00:09:48.140 this addiction is gonna have to flee from me. This addiction, since I was five years old,

00:09:53.060 that has destroyed my mom and my dad's family, that destroyed my family. When I take full

00:09:59.480 accountability for the destruction of my marriage, I'll point at the liberals and say,

00:10:05.480 you took my wife from me. You know what took my wife from me? The fact that I was married to this 0.88

00:10:09.620 beautiful person, but I felt like it wasn't enough. I felt like I still needed to look at pornography.

00:10:15.080 In some way, I'd say to her, well, stop making these images. Stop breaking the internet. That original term

00:10:20.260 comes from my ex-wife actually having a nude photo that I didn't know about that someone 1.00

00:10:25.960 used her and put it on a magazine. But there's somewhere where she's like, well,

00:10:29.620 if my husband is looking at this, I still want to be like the girls that are doing this. And this

00:10:34.600 becomes people reliving the traumas, pushing the addiction.

00:10:38.140 So this was the most amazing part of the interview, and nobody's talking about it. Because he says,

00:10:44.760 look, I blame the liberals for breaking up my family, but it wasn't the liberals, it was me.

00:10:49.240 But Kanye doesn't blame the liberals. He blames the Jews in other places, or the Zionists,

00:10:53.440 or the whoever, for breaking up his family. Or Benjamin Netanyahu is gonna come and take his

00:10:57.080 family. But then in this moment, probably the most lucid moment of the interview, he says,

00:11:01.320 but it wasn't them, meaning the liberals, or elsewhere he said it's the Jews. It was me.

00:11:08.460 It was me, because I looked at pornography, and I did it, and so I lost my family.

00:11:14.060 There are three defining struggles in Kanye West's public career that we've seen.

00:11:20.880 The first one is mental disorder, meaning his mind just gets disordered. And he's talking about

00:11:27.680 how black people were here before the Native Americans or something, right? Among all the 1.00

00:11:32.020 other things he said, he just said things that are just so manifestly incoherent and obviously not

00:11:38.540 true. Then there's performance art. Kanye West has always been this wild performance artist.

00:11:45.780 George Bush doesn't like black people. Taylor Swift, I'm gonna take your award from you, 0.75

00:11:49.320 and I'll let you finish, but Beyonce had the better album. You gotta give this album

00:11:53.020 to Beyonce. Then he goes a step further. He says slavery was a choice, right? One of the most 0.51

00:11:59.040 shocking and offensive things you can possibly say. Then he took it up another level when he put

00:12:03.500 the MAGA hat on, wearing that MAGA hat, which this was after the media had called Trump the devil

00:12:10.720 for however long. He says, that's the most offensive, provocative thing I can possibly do.

00:12:14.800 You tell me I can't do it, that's what I'm going to do. And then he took it to its absolute perfect

00:12:19.280 extreme by saying, I like Hitler. I like Hitler is the most shocking and offensive thing you can

00:12:23.860 possibly say in our culture. Hitler is synonymous with the devil in our language. It's why he didn't 0.81

00:12:30.660 get the same reaction when he says, I love Mao, I love Stalin. People can get away with saying,

00:12:33.800 I love Mao, I love Stalin. Well, you can hand it to them. You can wear a shake of our shirt, whatever.

00:12:38.740 In our language, Hitler is synonymous with the devil. In fact, worse than the devil, 0.96

00:12:43.120 because Hitler was incarnate. The devil's just a spirit. Hitler was incarnate. And so you see, 0.80

00:12:48.480 even taking aside, maybe Kanye hates the Jews, maybe Kanye's a Nazi, whatever. You just see that 0.94

00:12:53.420 as the extreme manifestation of that kind of performance art. And then the third one,

00:12:58.060 which no one's talking about, is this guy just lost his whole family. And if you've ever known

00:13:02.440 someone who's gone through a divorce, they go kind of crazy most of the time. And especially if they've

00:13:07.040 already got these sort of underlying mental issues and these underlying artistic issues where you were

00:13:13.760 naturally drawn to these extremes, when something like that happens, people can just break. And so

00:13:18.820 it's why I'm not going to make fun of Kanye West. It's why I'm not even going to really

00:13:23.180 engage too seriously in any of the claims he's making, whether it's about Hitler or the black

00:13:30.200 Native Americans or Bibi Netanyahu. I mean, when he was laughing manically with the yoohoo in one hand

00:13:36.340 and the net in another, I just think it's a really cheap shot to make fun of somebody or to castigate

00:13:44.200 somebody too seriously. And he was just kicked off of Twitter because he posted a star of David

00:13:50.400 with a swastika in the middle. And people are assuming this is just another declaration of his

00:13:54.820 love for the Nazis. It's actually not. That's a symbol of what's called the Raylism movement. 0.93

00:13:59.680 The Raylian movement was this movement from the 1970s founded by a guy named Claude Vorhillon.

00:14:08.560 And I'll see if I, yeah, here, so the symbol is this little pendant that they would wear of the

00:14:13.340 star of David with the swastika in the middle. But it's this idea, it's this kind of crazy cult

00:14:18.220 that believes that there are all these aliens and that you get abducted by aliens and that the word

00:14:27.220 Elohim, you know, the word for God is a plural term, which means those who came from the sky

00:14:32.700 and they would wear these sort of extraterrestrial symbols. So anyway, it's just obviously all the

00:14:37.880 symbol of disorder. And what should one do? One should pray for Kanye, probably not, you know,

00:14:45.800 probably not take this stuff all that seriously. I don't think he should be going on like TV

00:14:51.040 to be pontificating on these views. He's always had those three problems, even the personal issues

00:14:58.580 in his life because he's cycled through so many advisors constantly. I personally am friends with

00:15:04.060 like three of Kanye's advisors going back 10 years and I don't know Kanye West. I've never met Kanye

00:15:08.340 West. And so you think there are all these personal relationships. He lashed out in that interview

00:15:12.980 against Dave Chappelle for doing a comedy bit about him. Dave Chappelle was defending Kanye in the

00:15:16.940 comedy bit. You know, it's just, if any one of these issues were going off at a particular time,

00:15:24.020 it would be dangerous. But you've got the mental disorder and you've got the performance art and

00:15:29.500 you've got the personal life all kind of crashing around. And so I say, probably should pray for the

00:15:35.620 guy. That's what I would do. And I would protect yourself and I would protect your assets and what

00:15:40.320 you've got. And one great way to do that is with Birch Gold. Right now, text Knowles to 989898.

00:15:45.700 Will the lack of a red wave during the midterms lead to more reckless spending by a more emboldened

00:15:52.580 Biden administration? Higher taxes, deeper inflation. If you are unsure of how the next

00:15:57.480 two years will unfold, or if you are pretty sure because you see things going in a bad direction,

00:16:03.120 talk to Birch Gold Group about protecting your savings with gold. Birch Gold makes it easy to

00:16:08.140 convert your IRA or 401k into an IRA and precious metals so you can own gold and silver in a tax

00:16:14.060 sheltered account. Here is what you need to do. Text Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S, to 989898 to claim

00:16:21.000 your free info kit on gold. Then talk to one of their precious metals specialists. They will hold

00:16:26.660 your hand through the entire process. With an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau,

00:16:31.280 thousands of happy customers, and almost 20 years of experience converting IRAs and 401ks into precious

00:16:45.400 protect yourself with gold today. That is Knowles to 989898.

00:16:49.640 Speaking of Balenciaga, didn't that the Kardashians and Kanye had a deal with Balenciaga? And Kanye,

00:16:57.140 actually, I think that mask he was wearing on The Alex Jones Show was from Balenciaga,

00:17:01.400 oddly enough, even though we've been talking about this a few times now over the past couple of weeks.

00:17:05.380 There's this weird Balenciaga scandal where they posted ads that were evocative of child pornography

00:17:10.840 and S&M and Satanism and all this kind of weird stuff. So it gets even weirder. One of my associate

00:17:19.340 producers called my attention to this. There's another Balenciaga child photo ad where it's a

00:17:26.620 kid wearing a Balenciaga kind of suit in what's obviously a little kid's room. But then in the back,

00:17:32.220 there's a little doll of a devil. There's that little weird S&M doll in the front. The shoes kind

00:17:40.600 of look like two little red devils looking out at you. But then this part is really, really strange.

00:17:45.020 There is caution tape. But instead of saying caution, it says Balenciaga. But instead of saying

00:17:52.360 Balenciaga, B-A-L-E-N-C-I-A-G, it says B-A-L-E-N. That is Baal. That is one of the most prominent 1.00

00:18:06.320 demons ever worshipped going back to antiquity. That's not just an accident. Someone had that

00:18:12.380 tape made up or someone at least went on the computer and made it look that way. But probably

00:18:15.440 it's a practical prop. This on top of the fact that when you type Balenciaga, Latin to English,

00:18:22.260 into Google Translate, it translates that to do what you want, which is the first commandment of

00:18:28.060 the Satanists. Again, very strange because those words don't mean anything in Latin.

00:18:31.620 And it just comes up as gibberish until you add that final aga and then it says do what you want.

00:18:37.460 And then when you type in Balenciaga into Google Translate, B-A-A-L, it all of a sudden capitalizes

00:18:45.280 the B and says Bal is the king. And now you're seeing Bal referenced directly. Because one thing

00:18:50.140 that people have said is, well, Michael, Balenciaga is just a guy's last name. You say, well,

00:18:55.100 yeah, sure. So then why are we getting all these strange renderings when you type it in specifically

00:19:01.160 into Google Translate? Yeah, it's just a guy's last name. I'm not saying the company was founded

00:19:05.580 as an homage to Bal or something like that. But why are you getting all this satanic imagery?

00:19:11.480 And then why is the tape spelled B-A-A-L? Why is Bal right there? Obviously, there's something

00:19:17.020 going on. I don't know, right? I don't have an answer for that. But as we've said from the beginning

00:19:24.120 here, one strange occurrence, maybe that's a fluke. Two strange occurrences, maybe that's

00:19:31.680 a coincidence. Three, four, five, six. That's a pattern that you cannot deny. And then the fact

00:19:43.360 that there is this Kardashian-Kanye very close relationship to Balenciaga while this whole

00:19:48.440 thing is blowing up is also completely bizarre. That alone is completely bizarre. Kim Kardashian

00:19:54.100 is the face of Balenciaga. Kanye West continues to wear Balenciaga clothing.

00:19:59.940 What is it? I don't know. I don't know. I'm just pointing out really strange coincidences.

00:20:03.940 Speaking of products, by the way, we read ads for Jeremy's Razors. Not Harry's Razors,

00:20:10.060 obviously. We read the ads for Jeremy's Razors. And a lot of people love the commercial,

00:20:15.440 Jeremy getting out with the supermodels and the McLaren and everything. It's flamethrowers.

00:20:19.560 It's a very cool commercial. A lot of people, though, especially new Daily Wire members,

00:20:22.840 don't know the story of Jeremy's Razors. Jeremy's Razors, it was entirely made to save my career

00:20:32.940 because people don't even know the background. The background was I was on a show, I was on the air,

00:20:40.480 and I made this claim that men and women are different. This is a claim that now there's a

00:20:45.360 whole movie about it, actually. But at the time, some trollish type account, maybe it was a Democrat

00:20:52.440 operative, maybe not, came out and started tagging my sponsors and said, Michael said this horrible

00:20:59.420 thing. This is terrible. He said men and women are different. You need to cancel your ads from his

00:21:04.020 show. And Harry's Razors led a campaign to boycott my show, to pull the ads from my show,

00:21:10.860 to say there was a values misalignment, essentially saying Michael Knowles and his listeners are the

00:21:15.860 worst people on earth. We don't want their business, and you really shouldn't do business with them

00:21:20.460 either. And so there was a potential run on my show. And when there's a run on your show and you

00:21:26.040 lose all your advertisers, you lose the show. You cannot float that for very long. And so this was

00:21:31.960 an actual concerted effort to take out my show. And Jeremy and the Daily Wire came in and said,

00:21:37.660 uh-uh, we're not tolerating that. And they fought behind the scenes very hard. And they said,

00:21:41.640 don't you dare pull your ads. Well, forget Harry's, stupid Harry's. But to the rest of 1.00

00:21:45.280 the advertisers, don't you dare pull your ads. Don't you dare do this, especially publicly.

00:21:49.100 This is outrageous. We're going to stand behind not just me, but any conservative. Because look,

00:21:56.440 I said the most basic thing you possibly can. Men and women are different. So if they're going to 0.99

00:21:59.460 kill my show for that, they're going to go after all of us. And then because Jeremy,

00:22:03.580 he's just got something wrong in his head. I don't know. Maybe he was born under a weird star.

00:22:09.040 Something in this man's head. He's like a dog with a bone. Jeremy decided to dedicate the next year 0.99

00:22:14.580 to creating an actual razor company to go and destroy Harry's. It was just a vindictive joke.

00:22:25.240 And they did that. And then coincidentally, it became this great razor company. Well,

00:22:29.120 right now, if you go to jeremysrazors.com, you can get a wonderful bundle. It's all of this to say,

00:22:34.580 you should go over there to jeremysrazors.com and buy the bundle, not just for yourself,

00:22:38.400 but for your friends. It makes a great Christmas present. And it's just such a way to show,

00:22:43.000 yeah, man, stand up for the conservatives, stand up for people who have common sense,

00:22:47.340 stand up against these insane bullies who are trying to silence you for saying perfectly ordinary

00:22:54.620 things. That's how you do it. I like to think that my blank book was a little fun stocking stuffer 0.84

00:22:59.780 to stick it to the man, you know, reasons to vote for Democrats. Well, this is a much fuller version

00:23:05.660 of that because it's saying, no, we're going to build our own companies even if we have to,

00:23:09.500 but we need your support to do it. So please, please head on over and do that. And while you're

00:24:33.020 advertisers have. But then there are some products that I don't know. I don't know that I can quite get

00:24:36.480 behind. Tampax. Well, I've never, I haven't used Tampax myself. You know, I can't say that I was a

00:24:43.380 regular customer. But Tampax has a very strange advertising campaign. They launched this a couple

00:24:50.520 of weeks ago. Meant to get to it. Fits in right now in the Christmas shopping season. Tampax tweeted

00:24:56.900 out, you're in their DMs. We're in them. We are not the same.

00:25:06.740 Ugh. What? Did I read that correctly? So it's, obviously, it's a, it's like a sex joke, you know,

00:25:13.820 about, about the, about women and about what women use Tampax for. My first reaction was,

00:25:21.520 why are Tampax tweeting? Why do Tampax have to tweet? Because all brands have to tweet now.

00:25:27.720 And all brands market themselves on this kind of edginess. Right? They, you have to tweet to sell

00:25:35.460 the product. And the way to get attention on social media, as I think we've all seen in the last 24

00:25:40.420 hours, is to consistently go and say the edgiest things that you possibly can. And this is not a

00:25:46.960 great long-term strategy. The entire culture is incentivizing us to do that ever more and more.

00:25:54.400 But as a long-term strategy, that's, it's not really smart. I talked about this on the Matt

00:25:58.800 Fradd show the other day. Matt Fradd said, Michael, you're a Catholic, but you're also a conservative

00:26:04.940 talking head. And so does, does your Catholic obligation to be charitable and not to, you know,

00:26:10.880 constantly go out and detract from everybody, does that conflict with your role as a, as a

00:26:15.920 professional owner of the libs? And I thought, you know, maybe sometimes, I hope it doesn't,

00:26:20.100 but I'm sure we all misstep sometimes. But I generally try not to. Because if you,

00:26:26.640 if you stake your career or your brand or your professional life on just constantly being more

00:26:35.760 and more offensive, more and more shocking, more and more edgy, not only are you probably going to

00:26:41.700 flame out as happens to basically everyone who attempts this strategy. But it's also going to

00:26:47.000 lead you into saying things that you probably don't really believe, that you probably don't

00:26:54.920 really think are totally true. You'll, you'll just be incentivized to do that for shock value,

00:27:00.760 which is not a good way to live. And it will end up depriving you of your integrity and, and of,

00:27:06.020 you know, in, in the name of breaking through these strictures and the censorship, you're going

00:27:11.300 to end up saying things that you don't think are true in the first place. Speaking of weird sex stuff,

00:27:16.420 headline, weird sex stuff and dishonesty, headline out of the BBC, trans woman jailed for sex with 14 0.99

00:27:25.720 year old girl. What does that headline actually mean? I'm going to translate that headline 0.85

00:27:33.380 from woke, politically correct dishonesty into English. Man arrested, man jailed for raping

00:27:42.240 child. That's what that really means. But trans woman jailed for sex with 14 year old girl. What 1.00

00:27:49.540 do we call it when 25 year olds have sex with 14 year olds? Do we call that, we just call that sex? 0.97

00:27:56.100 No, we usually call that rape. That would be statutory rape everywhere in the United States or Britain or 0.97

00:28:01.520 anywhere in the civilized world. And then what do we call a trans woman in reality? We call that a man, 0.97

00:28:07.380 but it shows you the power of, of language, which is a real hobby horse of mine, but you've got to

00:28:13.660 constantly come back to it because you, you think because you are conscious and you read the news and

00:28:21.840 you know what's up and you, you get all of your information from different sources. You don't only

00:28:25.760 believe CNN, you think that you can catch the deception, but you, you can't, none of us can

00:28:31.740 all the time because so much of the leftist deception is built into the very language that we

00:28:38.440 use. When you use the phrase trans woman, or if you refer to a guy who thinks he's a woman as she,

00:28:45.340 or even if you refer to a guy who thinks that he's a woman with a woman's name,

00:28:49.700 you are consciously or unconsciously accepting the premises.

00:28:56.660 A woman has a right to go into the woman's bathroom. She has a right to go into the woman's 1.00

00:29:03.300 bathroom. Caitlin has the right to go into the woman's bathroom. When you accept terms like gay 0.92

00:29:09.040 marriage, which even people who oppose gay marriage often will use the term gay marriage,

00:29:13.900 you're accepting the premise that gay marriage is just a, it's a type of marriage.

00:29:19.540 You know, you can have American marriage or an Indian marriage or a gay marriage, but it's, 0.60

00:29:23.020 it's not the whole, the whole point of the debate is that gay marriage is a contradiction in terms and

00:29:28.640 it's completely different. Intrinsically, it cannot be the same thing as marriage. We do this

00:29:34.260 constantly. The undocumented workers, undocumented Americans, undocumented Americans are just a type 1.00

00:29:40.000 of American, except they're not. They're foreign nationals. They're, they're not Americans. 1.00

00:29:44.300 justice-involved youth. That's one of my favorite academic euphemisms for, for criminal children,

00:29:51.480 you know, criminal minors, or justice-involved person is used to refer to adults. Whatever

00:29:56.180 justice-involved persons are, they are not involved with justice. They're criminals. They're involved

00:30:01.160 with injustice, actually. It's a total deception. So you've got to be aware of, even if you're reading

00:30:07.140 this and you say, wait, something's clearly gone wrong here. It's not a, you've got to translate it in

00:30:10.880 your head and say it in your head in order to really appreciate this. Trans woman jailed for 0.99

00:30:15.200 sex with a 14-year-old girl. No, no, no. Grown man rapes child. That's what it is. It's going to 1.00

00:30:20.560 give, it'll give even you a different and more accurate picture. Speaking of deception, by the way,

00:30:26.660 huge news story. The liver king has been exposed as a fraud. Do you know who the liver king is? I

00:30:35.000 didn't either. Brett Cooper actually turned me on to him. He's some social media phenomenon where he's a

00:30:39.220 super jacked guy who never has a shirt on and he's always just eating organs of giant animals. He'll

00:30:47.000 sit there. I saw one video. He said, why would you chew gum when you could eat lung? And he pulls off

00:30:52.960 part of a cow lung and starts chewing on it. The whole idea was, I don't really do anything special.

00:30:57.920 I just eat all these totally primal kinds of foods. And that's how I got super jacked. And the guy was

00:31:03.640 obviously on steroids. And it just came out that he's on steroids. And here's his apology.

00:31:09.420 Primals, I'm making this video to apologize. Because I f***ed up. Because I'm embarrassed and

00:31:17.960 ashamed. Because I lied. And I misled a lot of people. I've stated that this is a complicated

00:31:27.520 topic. At least to me it is. Because before social media, I was rich and anonymous. And

00:31:33.980 after social media, I'm still rich, but no longer anonymous. And I never expected this

00:31:39.380 kind of exposure in the public eye. It's been tricky as f*** to navigate. Well, clearly I 0.88

00:31:49.100 did it wrong. And I'm here now to set the record straight. Yes, I've done steroids. And yes,

00:31:59.380 I'm on steroids, monitored and managed by a trained hormone clinician.

00:32:05.060 Wow, shocking. None of us could ever see this. No, you can. You can if you're not taken by this

00:32:13.460 constant push that is accelerated by social media and by our pop culture and our celebrity culture

00:32:19.900 to just be more and more outrageous, more and more shocking. One maxim that I often come back to on

00:32:26.060 this show is, hey, be normal. Just be normal. It's good to be normal. We're talking about at the top

00:32:32.720 of the show, you don't have to hand it to Hitler. You don't, actually. You don't.

00:32:37.460 But people are titillated by really shocking statements and shocking images. And it gets

00:32:45.180 people to think, wow, maybe this thing that I know is not possible or not true or completely

00:32:51.320 out of left field, maybe it really is true. Usually it's not. Usually things are just a lot more

00:32:59.460 normal than all of that. Generally speaking, you can just trust your faculties of reason and your

00:33:05.760 moral conscience and the traditions in which you have been raised. Generally speaking, those are

00:33:10.460 going to be much better guides to your own life than some person making some insane sort of claim,

00:33:21.940 whether it be about the Second World War or about how to get really jacked eating cow lung or something.

00:33:28.760 If it seems too wild, crazy, singular to be true, it probably is. This is in part why we are

00:33:41.780 conservatives, because we understand that the old tried and true stuff has a much better track record

00:33:47.560 than the modern flights of fancy, titillating though they may be. Last Friday, we launched a new series.

00:33:53.960 Speaking of the great traditions and the things that have endured through all of time,

00:33:58.180 we launched a great, great new biblical series with Dr. Jordan B. Peterson. The series is called

00:34:03.060 Exodus. In it, Jordan sits down with other scholars to read the book of Exodus and to discuss what it

00:34:08.040 means and why it remains significant thousands of years after it was written. Dennis Prager,

00:34:12.700 Jonathan Peugeot, many, many other people in there. Episodes one, two, and three are available

00:34:16.040 to stream right now. You have got to check out this episode. Here's the trailer.

00:34:20.100 The Hebrews created history as we know it.

00:34:26.980 You don't get away with anything. And so you might think you can bend the fabric of reality and that

00:34:31.960 you can treat people instrumentally and that you can bow to the tyrant and violate your conscience

00:34:36.200 without cost. You will pay the piper. It's going to call you out of that slavery into freedom,

00:34:41.400 even if that pulls you into the desert.

00:34:46.680 And we're going to see that there's something else going on here that is far more cosmic and deeper than

00:34:52.800 what you can imagine. The highest ethical spirit to which we're beholden

00:34:59.080 is presented precisely as that spirit that allies itself with the cause of freedom against tyranny.

00:35:07.160 Yes, exactly. I want villains to get punished.

00:35:09.760 But do you want the villains to learn before they have to pay the ultimate price?

00:35:13.160 That's such a Christian question.

00:35:14.500 You have to be a member to watch. So head on over to dailywire.com slash subscribe

00:35:23.060 to become a member and watch Exodus today. And we have finally arrived at my absolutely

00:35:29.260 favorite time of the week when I get to hear from all of you in the mailbag. This mailbag is

00:35:35.260 sponsored by pure talk at pure talk.com. Select a plan, enter code NOLS and get 50% off your first

00:35:40.060 month. First question. Hi, Michael Arun here. I am an astrophysicist,

00:35:46.220 which I mentioned for context because you recently piqued my curiosity when you mentioned that behind

00:35:51.580 the heliocentrism debate within the Catholic Church during the 17th century were deeper and more

00:35:57.280 profound philosophical and theological issues. I was wondering if you could talk from your perspective

00:36:02.280 as a Catholic Christian about what those philosophical issues are, and maybe also about

00:36:09.260 what are the philosophical and perhaps even metaphysical implications of the Einsteinian

00:36:14.700 view of the universe in which there is no preferred center to the universe. Thank you as always for

00:36:20.800 your wisdom. Arun, very, very good question. Yes, you can see how misrepresented the Catholic

00:36:30.800 Church's position on science has been when you look at the history of these sorts of controversies.

00:36:35.980 One, the most prominent scientists ever have been, not only Catholic, but in many cases have been

00:36:42.640 Catholic priests. Fr. George Lemaitre is the person who first theorized the Big Bang, Catholic priest.

00:36:50.500 Gregor Mendel, Catholic priest, the discoverer of Mendelian inheritance and genetics.

00:36:57.240 Copernicus was maybe a Catholic priest, though that's a little bit unclear. He was at least a Catholic

00:37:03.000 canon and many, many others. But if you look at, say, when Copernicus puts forward the idea that the

00:37:11.640 earth revolves around the sun, he was not really persecuted for it. Galileo puts forward this idea,

00:37:18.440 and he was persecuted for it, but not exactly for suggesting the idea. It was more for being just a

00:37:23.520 huge jerk all the time. And so when Copernicus's book comes out on the celestial spheres, there was a 0.99

00:37:31.800 preface added to the book that said that this is meant to facilitate calculations, but it's not

00:37:37.300 necessarily meant to be taken literally. Galileo comes out and not only proposes his view as a

00:37:42.760 literal view, but he also antagonizes the Pope and members of the clergy in the book. And he has

00:37:50.020 simplicius in this dialogue, meaning simpleton, though it's a reference to an interpreter and a

00:37:57.220 commentator on Aristotle. But it's obviously meant to suggest that this person is a simpleton,

00:38:02.860 and that represents the Pope's view. So he just was kind of a jerk, and he didn't play his cards 1.00

00:38:09.160 really straight either. The reason I bring up the word literal is because the word literal is very 1.00

00:38:15.440 confusing, especially in our day and age, because literal is supposed to mean not figurative or not

00:38:20.040 symbolic. But literal refers to letters, which are signs, and in our day and age are symbols as well.

00:38:27.820 So what does it even mean to be literal? If you tell me, you mentioned Einstein's view of the

00:38:34.060 universe. When you tell me that there is no center to the universe, or we're in this kind of static,

00:38:38.840 you know, infinite sort of universe, or any, really any modern scientific depiction of the

00:38:43.260 universe that you want, and you tell me that the Earth is on this little ball circling this other

00:38:47.680 little ball in a galaxy, in a galaxy cluster, in another galaxy cluster, in a galaxy super cluster,

00:38:54.220 I don't know what that means. If you tell me that man is the center of the universe,

00:39:01.700 I do know what that means. And furthermore, when you say man is the center of the universe,

00:39:07.300 that more accurately describes man's actual position in the world. Because man is the nexus

00:39:13.280 of the physical world and the metaphysical world through his rational soul. Man is the only being in

00:39:18.600 this world that that can be said of. Animals are bodies, and they have a soul proper to their

00:39:25.060 nature, but they don't have a rational soul. That's why we don't put them on trial. When a cat

00:39:28.660 scratches a human being, we don't prosecute the cat. Ideas are meaningful, and they have consequences

00:39:36.680 in the world, but they don't have bodies. Angels and demons, which I happen to believe exist,

00:39:40.840 as have most people throughout all of human history, but some doubt it today. But angels and demons

00:39:45.400 are real. They have metaphysical reality, but they don't have bodies. Only in man do you see that nexus

00:39:52.240 perfectly in the incarnation and in the blessed sacrament. So that representation more accurately

00:40:00.680 describes what is really going on in reality. Even if in order to make calculations, we accept the

00:40:08.380 premise that the earth revolves around the sun and the sun is in the galaxy or whatever.

00:40:13.080 That's fine, but that is a representation too. That's just a picture in your head so that you can

00:40:18.820 make models and make certain calculations. This is a point that is really driven home by Owen Barfield,

00:40:25.720 who you'll hear a lot of us on Daily Wire bring up this writer a lot. He's the guy who was instrumental

00:40:30.780 in converting C.S. Lewis to Christianity. Really, really brilliant philosopher. And he just points out

00:40:36.700 that in the world, what we take in about the world around us is necessarily just representations.

00:40:47.400 I'm not really seeing the camera as the camera. I'm taking in the information that the camera

00:40:54.020 has in itself. And then I am perceiving that. And then I am creating a concept of that in my mind.

00:40:59.760 And we hope that that accords as well as it can to reality. But it is a distinct thing. And what modern

00:41:05.460 science does is it separates the representations. It separates the phenomena from what the phenomena

00:41:13.660 really mean. And it creates a sort of idolatry out of that. So that's why we think of the human body

00:41:18.260 now as just a bag of chemicals. We don't think of it as a meaningful thing with a soul because that's

00:41:24.280 the way science has to treat the body. We think of, therefore, the cosmos in that same way. But there

00:41:30.820 is more to the cosmos than just the physical world. There's the metaphysical world as well. We all know

00:41:35.040 that. We have to know that. We have to accept that. That's the only way that we can talk. That's the

00:41:39.200 only way that our ideas can have meaning. That's the only way we can have hopes and joys and loves

00:41:42.660 and all the rest of the things that we can't quite touch. So that's a long-winded version of that view.

00:41:51.080 And it's why it's kind of like that bell curve, you know, for IQ. It's like the really dumb guy 1.00

00:41:57.460 would say, man's the center of the universe. And then the guy in the middle would say, well, 0.99

00:42:02.720 actually, you know, the earth is in the galaxy and in the supercluster. And then you get to the

00:42:08.180 top of the bell curve and it's just the sort of Jedi Knight saying, actually, man really is the

00:42:13.920 center of the universe. That's, I think, what's going on when we talk about our representations of

00:42:18.340 science. All right. Next question. Hey there, Mr. Michael. This is Stanley again. Thank you for

00:42:23.740 taking my original question on your pronunciation of words like divisive versus divisive. I was

00:42:29.440 listening to your show and Ben also brought it up on his show, the Canadian new laws that we're going

00:42:35.720 to try to help with assisted suicide. Now, I think the reason the Canadians are actually doing this, 0.90

00:42:41.480 as well as other European countries with socialized medicine, is because of their social programs.

00:42:47.480 It's obviously much cheaper to just do away with them than it is to treat them for a fatal illness.

00:42:53.420 You might remember several years ago, I think back in 2018, there was a little boy named Alfie Evans,

00:43:00.160 and he died and he may have died anyway, but he died because the British government would not allow

00:43:06.360 his parents to seek treatment for him, even outside of the country. Even the Vatican was going to send a

00:43:11.860 jet to help him. Now, I think, honestly, at the core of all of this is Satan. He hates the family,

00:43:17.680 and he does everything he can to circumvent it, from gender confusion, to making husbands and wives

00:43:24.800 think that they're a drag on each other, to pornography and all sorts of things. Anyway,

00:43:29.720 that's my perspective. What do you think?

00:43:31.460 That's a great question. Sometimes people ask questions like that at speaking events that I

00:43:38.900 go to. You know, they'll get up and they'll say, hey, Michael, and give a dissertation on their view

00:43:42.580 of the world and say, what do you think of that? I agree, actually. I agree with that. That's a very

00:43:47.420 good one. And especially on your first point when you say, do you think that Canada now is pushing

00:43:52.960 assisted suicide because it will save them money because they've got these sort of socialist

00:43:57.780 programs? And the answer is, of course, yes. This is one of the great hazards to socialized

00:44:03.140 medicine, to all sorts of socialist programs and giving all of your political power away and

00:44:08.020 upending all sorts of traditions. Because you just get perverse incentives. And conservatives

00:44:15.740 understand that incentives motivate people's behavior. So if the government is going to create

00:44:24.000 an incentive for granny maybe to leave this planet a little sooner, then you're going to see more of 1.00

00:44:32.060 that behavior, okay? And we know that because part of the debate over socialized medicine and

00:44:37.580 Obamacare and all the rest of it was that people spend a huge proportion of the money that they will

00:44:45.420 spend over their whole lives on healthcare in the final 18 months of their life, right? It's not as

00:44:50.820 though you spend the same amount every year on healthcare. It's that you spend basically nothing

00:44:54.200 on healthcare for most of your life. And then a little bit more as you get older. And then at

00:44:57.480 the very end, you spend a ton of money. So if you're some technocrat with a green visor crunching the

00:45:02.320 numbers and you say, wow, if we want to save, who knows, 50% on our medical expenses in the

00:45:07.480 government, if we just kill granny 18 months sooner, you're going to get that behavior. That's a huge 1.00

00:45:12.540 moral hazard. Next question.

00:45:14.020 Hey, Michael, it's Camille. Um, I have another dating question for you. So I recently had an ex,

00:45:23.540 let's call it a situationship because we weren't fully dating, um, reach out to me asking me to

00:45:30.240 set him up with one of my friends. I was shocked, livid and fuming at this request, but I wanted to

00:45:38.500 call in and see what your thoughts were. He was kind of a jerk to me and things didn't end super 0.97

00:45:44.740 well. And it's been a long time, but I never thought we were friends. And I think it's absolutely 0.99

00:45:49.960 insane that he asked me to do this. We'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks.

00:45:54.300 Camille, I want you to, I want you to take out your phone right now. I'll give you. Okay. You got it.

00:46:01.240 You pulled over, you took out your phone. I want you to go to your contacts. Actually,

00:46:05.580 it's probably easier. Just go to your texts. Okay. Pull up this guy's number and go to,

00:46:11.620 to, to, go to information about, and then delete the number. Camille, what is wrong with you?

00:46:17.420 Good grief. You've written into the show before about your relationship problems.

00:46:23.060 Don't, what are you doing? Why, why do you talk to this guy? Not only, I'm sorry,

00:46:27.840 before you delete the number, block the number and then delete the number out of your phone so that

00:46:32.600 you don't text him. Yeah, of course, this guy's a total jerk loser. You don't need to speak to him 1.00

00:46:38.980 ever again. Even when you say, I didn't even think we were friends after we broke up. Well,

00:46:42.480 if you're not friends, then delete the number and block it, Camille. Good grief. Ah, Camille,

00:46:48.460 I just want to shake, I just want to reach for the camera and shake you. Of course, stop it. Stop

00:46:52.660 talking to these jerks. All right, next question. Hey, Michael, I'm just wondering what your view on 1.00

00:46:57.520 recycling is because a friend of mine, a conservative friend of mine recently made fun of me and was

00:47:03.220 calling me liberal because I was recycling and I like to recycle. So I guess I'm just wondering

00:47:08.160 if you think it actually does something and it can actually help our planet or if it's another,

00:47:13.460 I don't know, fake narrative that liberals push. Also, I got to let you know that I am a religious

00:47:18.800 Jew, but I will still choose your show over Ben's any day. Thanks so much, Michael.

00:47:24.040 Now we're talking. All right. Thank you. Clearly have marvelous taste. That's so clear. I could tell

00:47:30.880 from the inside of your question and the final part just confirms it for me. The problem with

00:47:39.240 recycling is that it's a good thing to do in theory and it doesn't really do very much in practice.

00:47:47.040 A very, very tiny proportion of the things that we put in the recycling bin actually end up being

00:47:51.720 recycled in any way. And this is in part because it involves not just Americans going and doing

00:47:56.640 their part, but then we ship it overseas to third world countries and they're supposed to deal with 1.00

00:48:01.240 our trash for us. And then often that doesn't really happen. And so it's a good thing to do

00:48:05.780 in theory. I know that there is a conservative perspective that says, who cares about the planet?

00:48:12.140 I'm just going to throw my refuse into the ocean and burn tires all day long. And that's my right

00:48:18.600 as an American. I don't think that's true. I think it's very conservative to conserve things

00:48:22.360 and to be a good steward of your environment, to be moderate in that regard. The problem with

00:48:27.040 recycling is just, it doesn't really work. So it ends up being a kind of meaningless ritual.

00:48:31.620 So do it, don't do it. It's not really going to have much of an effect in the world. But I think

00:48:36.860 your instinct to be a good steward of your created environment, I think is a good one and a

00:48:42.420 conservative one. The rest of the show continues now because of the most fascinating broadcast ever

00:48:48.400 in the history of television yesterday and us taking some time to go through Kanye. I didn't

00:48:53.540 get to a few stories I wanted to get to. We have to get to them though, because politically they matter

00:48:57.780 a lot. So make sure you head on over to the member block. We also have fake headlines. I need

00:49:03.220 your help in discerning which headlines are real. So if you are not a member, click the link in that
