00:00:37.800 Joe Biden is appointing more judges to the federal bench, and you knew they would be bad.
00:00:43.640 But did you ever think they would be this bad?
00:00:47.600 Judge on the far end, tell me what Article 5 of the Constitution does.
00:00:56.980 Article 5 is not coming to mind at the moment.
00:01:03.860 Okay.
00:01:04.300 How about Article 2?
00:01:09.140 Neither is Article 2.
00:01:11.640 Okay.
00:01:16.720 Do you know what purposivism is?
00:01:19.300 In my 12 years as an assistant attorney general and my nine years serving as a judge, I was not faced with that precise question.
00:01:34.940 Senator Kennedy was not grilling these judicial nominees on some arcane, obscure aspects of federal law.
00:01:44.820 He was asking them about some of the most basic provisions of the fundamental American legal document.
00:01:54.120 This wasn't, what does U.S. Code Section 27, Line 52?
00:02:00.200 It was, what's Article 5 of the Constitution do?
00:02:05.160 They didn't know.
00:02:06.060 And conservatives are now shocked and appalled, but we should not be.
00:02:11.580 These libs don't need to know. 1.00
00:02:13.600 These judge nominees don't need to know.
00:02:15.940 Biden and his minions did not nominate these judges because they're experts on the Constitution.
00:02:22.060 He didn't nominate them because they love the Constitution.
00:02:24.500 They keep a pocket Constitution on them every day, and they want to do everything they can to uphold it.
00:02:30.280 But it's the opposite.
00:02:32.800 Biden nominated these judges to continue the liberal project of upending our entire political order.
00:02:39.920 If anything, their blithe ignorance of the Constitution is likely a mark in their favor.
00:02:46.400 When you look at it from the perspective of the people who are putting them up for these jobs.
00:02:50.240 I'm Michael Knowles.
00:02:50.920 This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:02:51.680 Welcome back to the show.
00:03:00.280 My favorite comment yesterday is from Master Kiyahi, who is reacting to that attack on Dave Chappelle,
00:03:06.940 where those transgender protesters were throwing eggs at him.
00:03:11.180 Master Kiyahi says, privilege is being able to throw eggs in this economy.
00:03:15.540 So true.
00:03:16.320 Privilege is being able even to eat eggs.
00:03:18.280 Forget about wasting the eggs.
00:03:19.320 Even to just buy a dozen eggs, that's a real privilege.

00:04:42.140 Speaking of unimpressive Biden representatives, Hunter Biden, you know, has dipped his toe into the art world.
00:04:52.280 Hunter Biden's previous career was selling his father's influence in the American government
00:04:57.620 to make oodles and oodles of money in Ukraine and China and from all sorts of nefarious and corrupt people
00:05:04.340 who wanted to buy more influence in the American government.
00:05:08.260 Hunter, I think, referred to this in one of those disclosures that came out from the laptop
00:05:12.380 or some other conversation as the fact that he makes basically a bajillion dollars a year.
00:05:18.700 So that's how he previously made his money.
00:05:20.580 But then when it all came to light, it was much harder for Hunter Biden to continue the Biden family corruption.
00:05:26.740 So he said, okay, the way I'm going to start making money now is by painting.
00:05:29.900 Hunter Biden, I don't think, had ever picked up a paintbrush in his life until about five minutes ago.
00:05:34.920 And his painting is just a bunch of ridiculous doodles on a canvas that we were then told could sell for half a million dollars each. 0.93
00:05:44.560 This, another example, obviously, of corruption. 1.00
00:05:47.560 Nobody thinks that Hunter Biden's stupid doodles are high art. 1.00
00:05:51.160 Nobody thinks they're worth $50, much less $500,000. 1.00
00:05:56.740 But the art dealer selling Hunter Biden's work is insisting, no, this is not just corruption.
00:06:02.260 This is not just a way for people to pass half a million dollars into the Biden family without having to go through political disclosures.
00:06:09.580 This is not just another way to buy influence with the Bidens.
00:06:12.160 No, no, Hunter Biden's a great artist.
00:06:13.860 Hunter's dealer, George Berge, the owner of the eponymous art gallery in New York, praised Hunter Biden's artwork, said,
00:06:24.340 Hunter Biden will become one of the most consequential artists in this century because the world needs his art now more than ever.
00:06:34.240 In a world that beats us down, we need art in our lives that reminds of the unrelenting divinity within each of us.
00:06:45.180 And if you'll excuse me, I will get right back to the show.
00:06:47.200 I just need to...
00:06:47.720 Sorry.
00:06:51.900 Sorry.
00:06:52.580 Okay.
00:06:53.440 Now that I've emptied out my gut and stomach here from that absolutely nauseating and disingenuous praise of Hunter Biden,
00:07:03.600 and now we can go on with the show.
00:07:05.640 Why is he saying this?
00:07:06.400 Well, he wants to have a straight face.
00:07:08.600 He wants to say, no, this isn't corrupt at all.
00:07:10.740 This isn't ridiculous.
00:07:12.600 Hunter's doodles deserve half a million bucks.
00:07:15.360 Pay up.
00:07:15.900 Let's go.
00:07:16.500 Nothing wrong about this.
00:07:18.380 But I think the other reason that the art dealer and Hunter and the whole Biden family can get away with this
00:07:23.760 is we don't have any power to stop it.
00:07:29.220 I read a statement like that.
00:07:31.080 I see judicial nominees put up who don't know the very first thing about the Constitution.
00:07:39.220 And I think, man, they're just rubbing our faces in it now, aren't they?
00:07:42.740 They're just lording their power over us.
00:07:45.120 And they're saying, oh, yeah.
00:07:46.700 Yeah, we're going to pack the court full of people who have never looked at the law ever. 0.99
00:07:50.820 A bunch of just completely ignorant people who will do what we want them to do. 0.98
00:07:56.180 And you can't do anything about it. 0.99
00:07:57.400 Oh, oh, you don't like that we've had some corrupt practices?
00:08:02.680 Okay, well, now the way we're going to make money is by selling my, my derelict son's scribbles on a canvas.
00:08:12.260 What are you?
00:08:13.000 No, no, he's a great artist.
00:08:14.500 That guy, he's basically Michelangelo.
00:08:16.860 What are you going to do about it, conservatives?
00:08:19.000 Nothing.
00:08:19.540 That's what they're going to do.
00:08:20.340 Speaking of art, and speaking of one way conservatives have pushed back in the culture we played yesterday,
00:08:27.400 James O'Keefe's excellent expose of an executive at Pfizer confiding in someone that he thought he was on a romantic date with,
00:08:35.960 that don't tell the public, but Pfizer is secretly performing gain-of-function research
00:08:40.880 to beef up viruses to work on new pharmaceuticals.
00:08:44.340 And the date says, what, Pfizer's working on gain-of-function research?
00:08:49.840 And the exec says, yeah, I mean, we don't tell the public that, but we are working on that.
00:08:53.220 And then, just yesterday, James O'Keefe releases the footage of when he walks out like Chris Hansen,
00:08:59.920 comes in, sits down, and he says, hey, hey, I think I'm going to have a seat over here.
00:09:03.540 Do you work for Pfizer?
00:09:05.200 Did you, we've got you on camera admitting to, and things go awry.
00:09:09.380 Hey there. Is this seat taken?
00:09:13.000 You work for Pfizer. My question for you is, why does Pfizer want to hide from the public
00:09:17.440 the fact that they're mutating the COVID viruses?
00:09:21.080 Is this real life? I'm literally a liar. 0.91
00:09:23.760 I was trying to impress a person on a date by lying. 0.89
00:09:27.680 This is absurd.
00:09:28.480 Please, please, please don't touch me.
00:09:29.360 Well, this is not, by the way, don't tell anybody.
00:09:32.340 This is someone who's just working at a company to literally help the public. 0.99
00:09:37.060 You f***ed up. You really did. 0.99
00:09:39.700 Please leave the cops as soon as possible.
00:09:41.280 Can you please unlock your door?
00:09:44.280 No, no, don't let them leave.
00:09:45.480 Please unlock the door.
00:09:46.920 Give me, why is my door here?
00:09:48.280 Stop.
00:09:50.260 Please unlock, please unlock the door.
00:09:53.200 Please unlock the door.
00:09:55.800 Unlock the door.
00:10:00.080 We're trying to get, unlock the door, unlock the door.
00:10:07.060 That is the director of worldwide R&D, specifically on MRNA strategic planning.
00:10:17.160 Those are the people who are behind the Fauci ouchie that has now gone into the arms of five
00:10:25.940 and a half billion people worldwide.
00:10:27.840 This lunatic who's out on what he thinks is this date. 0.96
00:10:31.500 And then he just loses and starts getting violent, running around. 0.95
00:10:35.280 Oh, my gosh, is this real life?
00:10:36.880 Oh, my gosh.
00:10:37.680 And then what's his excuse?
00:10:39.480 This is my favorite part.
00:10:41.940 The minute James O'Keefe says, hey, we just got you on camera admitting that Pfizer's doing
00:10:45.420 gain-of-function research. 0.58
00:10:46.420 He goes, I'm a liar.
00:10:49.760 That's his excuse. 0.99
00:10:50.640 I'm a liar.
00:10:51.300 I was lying.
00:10:52.940 And that's always what these guys do.
00:10:55.340 This was just a modern-day version of To Catch a Predator,
00:10:58.400 the Chris Hansen show that would get pedophiles.
00:11:01.000 This is just that, hey, why don't you, what are you doing here?
00:11:04.380 Why don't you have a seat over there?
00:11:05.260 What are you doing here?
00:11:06.720 And instantly, what happens?
00:11:08.020 All the time, the guys on the To Catch a Predator show who want to sleep with underage girls,
00:11:12.980 they say, oh, I wasn't doing anything. 0.93
00:11:14.300 No, I didn't want, I didn't come here to have sex.
00:11:16.020 I didn't, no, not at all.
00:11:16.780 I was just, I was just lying in the chat.
00:11:19.020 Oh, no, all those logs you have of me talking to this girl about how I was going to come over
00:11:22.880 and drive 12 hours and sleep with, I was just lying.
00:11:25.460 It's the same excuse from the Pfizer exec.
00:11:27.560 No, I was just lying.
00:11:28.280 Well, the problem with that excuse is, if you are a liar, if your best defense is that 0.97
00:11:34.420 you are a liar, then obviously, I can't believe you now. 0.97
00:11:38.320 And it's not just this Pfizer exec, this was Fauci's excuse. 0.98
00:11:43.800 Do you remember, Fauci initially said, when COVID broke out, and the liberals at that time
00:11:48.940 were downplaying it before they started overplaying it, Fauci said, there's no reason to wear a mask.
00:11:54.280 There is no reason when the virus is spreading around for you to wear a mask out in public.
00:11:59.140 Do not wear a mask.
00:12:00.320 And then five seconds later, he says, you have to wear a mask everywhere, all the time.
00:12:05.080 Wear like three of them.
00:12:07.200 What changed?
00:12:08.380 Fauci admitted how he changed his mind or changed his rhetoric because he didn't change his mind.
00:12:14.620 He said, oh, yeah, when I told you you didn't need to wear a mask, I thought there'd be a
00:12:17.840 shortage and I wanted to save them for my friends.
00:12:19.860 But then I found out there wasn't a shortage, so I told you to wear them.
00:12:22.460 So Fauci's excuse was the same excuse as the Pfizer exec was the same excuse as the
00:12:28.880 pedos on To Catch a Predator. 0.99
00:12:31.080 I'm a liar. 1.00
00:12:32.160 I'm a liar. 1.00
00:12:32.980 Don't believe anything we say.
00:12:34.300 Okay.
00:12:35.280 All right, guys.
00:12:36.740 If that's what you want, I'll take your word for it. 0.99
00:12:40.300 I have no doubt that you guys are big liars. 0.98
00:12:45.000 Speaking of virality and social media, big news. 0.98
00:12:50.180 I meant to get to it yesterday.
00:12:50.860 We didn't have time.
00:12:52.460 President Covfefe, El Donaldo himself, is back on Facebook.
00:12:59.620 Meta, which is the parent company now for Facebook and Instagram and all the rest of it,
00:13:05.000 they've announced, quote, we are bringing Mr. Trump back in the coming weeks with certain
00:13:09.500 guardrails applicable to any public figures suspended for certain violations during times
00:13:14.000 of civil unrest.
00:13:15.400 The penalties and potential restrictions that we've put in place are a deterrent.
00:13:19.420 Trump could face another suspension if he keeps breaking the rules.
00:13:25.060 Why are they letting Trump back?
00:13:27.360 It's been years at this point.
00:13:30.180 It's been two years.
00:13:31.280 Why does he get to come back now?
00:13:34.520 Elon put him back on Twitter, even though Trump isn't using his Twitter yet, probably because
00:13:39.680 he has contractual obligations with Truth Social.
00:13:42.780 But Elon put him back on.
00:13:44.900 So maybe that puts a little pressure on Facebook.
00:13:47.820 Trump is now a declared candidate for the presidency.
00:13:50.140 I think that probably puts a little pressure on Facebook.
00:13:53.320 But probably the biggest factor here is that the January 6th narrative fell apart.
00:14:01.200 The reason that Trump was banned from social media, the reason that these oligarchs in Silicon
00:14:06.200 Valley who work with but not totally through the government, they're this awful, blobby, public-private
00:14:13.900 kind of partnership that does the bidding of the government, the government's dirty work
00:14:17.540 that they can't do for itself, but also is completely unaccountable to the people.
00:14:22.340 The whole argument for banning Trump was that this guy led a violent insurrection, a near
00:14:30.760 coup d'etat on January 6th.
00:14:32.980 And that didn't happen.
00:14:36.040 We know, because we've had two years of investigations into this, they told us Trump incited the insurrection.
00:14:44.260 Well, we have the video.
00:14:45.000 Trump says, be peaceful, be peaceful, don't be violent, go home.
00:14:48.940 Okay, there goes that one.
00:14:50.520 Well, nevertheless, the followers of Donald Trump, they were so violent, they killed people.
00:14:57.640 They killed police officers.
00:14:58.900 That's not true.
00:14:59.480 The only person who was killed in political violence on January 6th was Ashley Babbitt.
00:15:04.480 She was a Trump supporter in the Capitol shot by a trigger-happy cop.
00:15:08.500 Well, what about Officer Brian Sicknick?
00:15:10.280 Officer Brian Sicknick died of natural causes after the January 6th riot.
00:15:16.380 He did not die in any violence on January 6th, nor did any other cop.
00:15:22.180 Well, nevertheless, even if they didn't kill anybody, even if they weren't particularly violent,
00:15:27.960 and even if Donald Trump never incited anything, they were still leading an insurrection.
00:15:33.700 Okay, then how come none of them were charged with insurrection?
00:15:37.440 How come they were charged with trespassing?
00:15:40.760 I mean, the prosecutors threw the book at these people.
00:15:43.200 They threw them in solitary confinement for long periods of time.
00:15:46.320 But they couldn't get a charge of insurrection because it didn't happen.
00:15:51.900 So the whole thing just fell apart.
00:15:55.900 The whole thing fell apart.
00:15:58.560 So now they let Trump back on.
00:16:00.660 I think there is one ulterior motive here, beyond that the libs couldn't quite withstand the pressure
00:16:06.060 of still with a straight face saying that Trump couldn't be on Facebook.
00:16:09.200 I think the other ulterior motive is the libs want a bloody GOP primary.
00:16:14.600 And the thinking, back when they were trying to keep Trump off the ballot in certain places,
00:16:20.720 back when they were trying to throw Trump in prison, I guess they're still trying to do that,
00:16:23.380 back when they were keeping him totally ostracized from social media,
00:16:26.560 the prevailing view was that Donald Trump, if he ran for president in 2024,
00:16:31.140 would clear the Republican field.
00:16:32.860 So there would be no challengers.
00:16:34.300 He would be the nominee automatically.
00:16:36.040 And so the libs were throwing everything they had at him.
00:16:39.640 That no longer appears to be the case.
00:16:41.860 Ron DeSantis, among others, seems to be building a pretty strong campaign for president.
00:16:48.060 It's still Trump's race to lose.
00:16:49.600 Trump is still way up in the polls.
00:16:50.960 But DeSantis is posing a real challenge to Trump right now.
00:16:56.020 Other people are saying they'll run too.
00:16:57.400 Mike Pence is saying he's very interested in running.
00:16:59.960 Nikki Haley says she's very interested in running.
00:17:02.600 Tim Scott says he's very interested in running.
00:17:04.420 So it just, no matter what you think of those people or Trump,
00:17:07.680 Trump did not clear the field.
00:17:09.100 And so now the libs strategy has to switch.
00:17:10.920 And they're going to want a more bloody GOP primary,
00:17:13.140 which means they're probably going to be much more interested
00:17:16.300 in allowing Donald Trump to be on platforms such as Facebook.
00:17:20.480 In fact, you saw a similar principle just a couple of days ago
00:17:24.200 with the Azov Battalion in Ukraine.
00:17:27.980 For years, the Azov Battalion, which is filled with neo-Nazis in Ukraine,
00:17:31.760 was banned from Facebook.
00:17:33.260 Why?
00:17:33.660 Because it's filled with neo-Nazis.
00:17:36.060 But now Facebook is on the side of Ukraine fighting against Russia.
00:17:41.560 And so the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
00:17:43.360 And the Azov Battalion is one of the most powerful regiments
00:17:45.680 in the Ukrainian military.
00:17:48.020 And so Facebook says, okay, never mind.
00:17:49.620 They're not Nazis anymore.
00:17:50.900 Or even if they are, they're like the good Nazis. 0.84
00:17:52.980 Okay, we're going to let them back on Facebook.
00:17:55.340 Why?
00:17:55.880 So that they can attack Russia. 0.97
00:17:58.660 Almost certainly there's a similar principle operating here
00:18:01.100 with the social media companies allowing Trump back on.
00:18:04.720 But we're not quite there yet.
00:18:08.240 We're not at a 2024 nominee yet.
00:18:10.740 We're not even totally into the primary yet.
00:18:13.100 First, what has to be decided is who's going to lead the Republican Party,
00:18:16.240 meaning the party apparatus, meaning the RNC, the National Committee.
00:18:20.300 There's a fight right now between Ronna McDaniel, who has run it for about a dozen years now, 1.00
00:18:26.680 and Harmeet Dillon.
00:18:28.560 Harmeet Dillon has been on the show.
00:18:29.920 I don't think Ronna, I think we invited Ronna on, but Ronna hasn't come on yet.
00:18:33.560 Harmeet Dillon is challenging Ronna, saying enough's enough.
00:18:36.600 Ronna's been there long enough.
00:18:37.920 Now I'm going to take over the RNC.
00:18:40.680 Trump has endorsed McDaniel.
00:18:43.760 Now, finally, Ron DeSantis has weighed in as another rising star in the GOP.
00:18:49.400 He endorses Harmeet Dillon.
00:18:53.500 Right now, the RNC is meeting in Dana Point, California.
00:18:57.100 And there are some questions of who should lead the RNC,
00:19:01.080 and whether it should be Ronna for a fourth term or go a different direction with Harmeet Dillon.
00:19:06.420 What are your thoughts on this?
00:19:07.580 Well, we've had three substandard election cycles in a row, 18, 20, and 22.
00:19:13.820 And I would say of all three of those, 22 was probably the worst,
00:19:17.820 given the political environment of a very unpopular president in Biden.
00:19:22.920 Huge majorities of the people think the country's going in the wrong direction.
00:19:27.040 That is an environment that's tailor-made to make big gains in the House,
00:19:31.440 in the Senate, and statehouses all across the country.
00:19:35.280 And yet that didn't happen.
00:19:36.820 And in fact, we even lost ground in the U.S. Senate.
00:19:39.320 And so, you know, I think we need a change.
00:19:42.380 I think we need to get some new blood in the RNC.
00:19:45.500 I like what Harmeet Dillon has said about getting the RNC out of D.C.
00:19:50.460 Why would you want to have your headquarters in the most Democrat city in America?
00:19:56.700 It's more Democrat than San Francisco is.
00:20:00.640 Notice, Ron DeSantis, he's a very adept politician.
00:20:03.920 He's asked about the RNC, where do you stand on the race?
00:20:07.000 And he gives something of an answer.
00:20:10.160 He says, well, Ronna's not getting it done.
00:20:12.600 We need fresh blood.
00:20:15.280 And I like Harmeet Dillon's idea about getting the committee out of D.C.
00:20:19.400 So it's not quite, it's not a full, explicit endorsement of Harmeet Dillon.
00:20:26.620 But practically speaking, it is.
00:20:29.260 And why is it?
00:20:30.560 I suspect, well, one, it might be just that Ron DeSantis sincerely believes that
00:20:34.720 all of the things that he's saying.
00:20:36.760 But in politics, there's always another layer, too.
00:20:38.900 And I think the other layer here is, Ronna McDaniel is a Trump person.
00:20:43.260 Ronna McDaniel is very closely tied to Trump, ran the RNC during Trump's presidency.
00:20:47.080 Trump has endorsed Ronna McDaniel.
00:20:50.060 And so what does Ron DeSantis get if he endorses Ronna McDaniel?
00:20:55.680 Nothing.
00:20:56.960 The big dog in the fight has already endorsed her.
00:20:59.520 So that puts DeSantis in a position of being number two.
00:21:03.080 What does Ron DeSantis get if he endorses Harmeet Dillon and Harmeet Dillon wins?
00:21:06.760 Now, not only does Ron DeSantis have a friend running the National Committee, but Ron DeSantis
00:21:16.080 has also racked up a W against Trump, which has been the narrative that's taken place since
00:21:20.580 the midterms.
00:21:21.520 The narrative since the midterms is Trump, he just couldn't pull us over the finish line.
00:21:26.400 Trump, he had an unimpressive performance.
00:21:28.120 I'm not saying this is a fair assessment.
00:21:29.840 I'm just telling you this is the narrative that has taken hold.
00:21:32.160 And then when you compare that to the incredible success in Florida, undeniable success, DeSantis
00:21:38.220 and the Republicans in Florida did a great job turning out the vote and getting themselves
00:21:42.100 elected and reelected.
00:21:44.160 That is being considered a W for DeSantis and an L for Trump.
00:21:49.440 And so if Harmeet Dillon can beat Ronna McDaniel in the RNC leadership race, that's going to look
00:21:55.480 like another victory for DeSantis over President Trump.
00:21:59.140 Is this going to matter for the nomination?
00:22:02.320 Maybe not, but the race to the nomination is every single day.
00:22:07.060 And if you win enough days, you win the nomination.
00:22:10.020 That fight picking up right now.
00:22:11.960 But we're not fighting each other.
00:22:14.120 We are not ultimately fighting each other.
00:22:16.720 Some people prefer Trump.
00:22:18.060 Some people prefer DeSantis.
00:22:19.300 Some people prefer Ted Cruz.
00:22:20.620 Some people prefer Nikki Haley. 0.82
00:22:22.320 So we're not, but ultimately we're fighting the libs.
00:22:26.420 Ultimately, we conservatives have a lot more that unites us than we have that divides us.
00:22:32.960 Especially when you look at how crazy the libs have gotten.
00:22:36.120 And I sometimes forget it because increasingly I spend my time around conservatives.
00:22:39.900 I come from a liberal place.
00:22:40.920 I've lived in liberal cities.
00:22:42.140 I've got liberal friends going back many, many years.
00:22:44.720 But I do spend a lot of time with conservatives.
00:22:46.620 I sometimes forget how crazy things get.
00:22:48.580 And then I read the Associated Press trying to ban the word the.
00:22:52.140 Before I get to that, this week I told you how we all got one step closer to the crunch
00:22:58.620 in our breakfast cereal coming from bugs, not whole grains.
00:23:02.360 The EU officially enacted a statute allowing food producers to incorporate cricket powder
00:23:06.680 into its flour-based products.
00:23:08.480 Not because it tastes better, but because the political elites have deemed that eating
00:23:12.140 ze bugs is better for the environment.
00:23:14.060 So, right down to the food you eat.
00:23:16.040 The world wants to make you woke.
00:23:17.480 But not Dennis Prager.
00:23:20.240 Dennis wants to make you wise.
00:23:21.600 And the founder of PragerU is going to do just that with a never-before-seen series
00:23:25.860 exclusively on Daily Wire Plus called The Master's Program with Dennis Prager.
00:23:30.260 What The Master's Program aims to do is take 40 years of wisdom and experience from one
00:23:35.140 of the most influential conservative thinkers in America today and distill it all down to
00:23:39.040 its essence.
00:23:40.000 He covers topics such as the consequences of secularism, such as is human nature basically
00:23:46.080 good.
00:23:46.660 It is as thought-provoking as it is illuminating the first two episodes of PragerU Master's Program.
00:23:51.180 are available to stream right now exclusively on Daily Wire Plus.
00:23:54.500 So head on over to DailyWirePlus.com, become a member and watch PragerU Master's Program and
00:23:59.300 more.
00:24:00.100 That is DailyWirePlus.com today.
00:24:02.740 The word the is canceled, according to the Associated Press.
00:24:12.000 The AP, which through its style book that sets the tone for a lot of journalism and public
00:24:17.880 writing, has become more and more woke in recent years.
00:24:21.180 The AP says, quote, we recommend avoiding general and often dehumanizing the labels, such as the
00:24:30.820 poor, the mentally ill, the French, the disabled, the college educated. 0.97
00:24:38.400 Instead, use wording such as people with mental illnesses and use these descriptions only when
00:24:46.040 clearly relevant.
00:24:48.740 As a style point, this is bad writing style because a general rule in writing is it is better to use
00:24:57.480 fewer words than more words.
00:24:59.680 Cut out unnecessary words, close up space, and generally speaking, your prose will improve.
00:25:05.080 Political correctness tells you to use lots of extra needless words to use euphemisms instead of
00:25:11.160 clear language and confuse everybody.
00:25:14.080 But clear writing says, be succinct, be concise, be precise.
00:25:18.140 The AP also doesn't follow its own advice.
00:25:20.820 Ezra Levant over at The Rebel pointed out that the AP has regularly referred to the unvaccinated,
00:25:26.660 probably because it wants to dehumanize the unvaccinated. 0.86
00:25:30.740 But you're not allowed to use those labels for anybody else.
00:25:33.340 And everyone's covering this as an example of political correctness run amok, which in part it is.
00:25:38.220 But there is something deeper going on here behind the move to take away these group categories,
00:25:43.500 the poor, the disabled, the college educated.
00:25:46.500 And it's something that infects, it's a mind virus that has infected the left particularly,
00:25:53.480 but it has infected the right as well, which is that this is a consequence of liberalism.
00:25:58.320 This is an attack on group identity per se.
00:26:02.980 This is a logical extreme of the liberal idea that we are all fundamentally individuals,
00:26:13.460 not members of a group.
00:26:17.140 I know that a lot of conservatives and self-described conservatives,
00:26:20.480 particularly of the last 50 years, have grounded their political views in individualism.
00:26:25.740 But that is not a conservative idea.
00:26:27.340 That is a liberal idea.
00:26:29.980 You could say, well, it's more of a classical liberal idea.
00:26:33.620 Some people would say it's actually much more of a modern liberal idea.
00:26:37.200 The classical enlightenment liberals who talk about the sovereignty of the individual
00:26:40.480 or the modern progressive liberals who talk about how we have ownership of our body.
00:26:45.260 And if we want to chop off our body parts, that's all right.
00:26:47.020 Because we're individuals.
00:26:48.260 We can't be defined by our social mores or our laws or our customs or even our families.
00:26:54.720 No, by golly, we can't be defined even by our biological sex.
00:26:58.300 No, siree, we're individuals.
00:27:00.260 Well, all that obsession with individualism, that is a lib thing.
00:27:04.420 The conservatives believe with the ancients, with Aristotle, with Christianity,
00:27:10.340 with the greatest thinkers of all time, that man is not fundamentally individual,
00:27:14.920 but man is a social animal.
00:27:17.040 Man is a political animal.
00:27:18.360 That we find our identity in society with other people.
00:27:22.000 That we find our identity in our families, in our communities, in our duties,
00:27:30.320 in our obligations, in our role in the world.
00:27:34.000 The French, the college educated, the disabled suggests that people can be categorized in groups.
00:27:46.840 Obviously, that's true.
00:27:48.180 Obviously, there are distinctions between groups of all types of groups.
00:27:53.780 The liberals don't want to admit that.
00:27:55.780 They don't want to admit that there are such things as group characteristics, group behaviors, group dynamics.
00:28:04.520 But obviously, there are.
00:28:06.460 And you see it reflected.
00:28:07.460 I mean, this is the entire point of my book, Speechless, Controlling Words, Controlling Minds,
00:28:10.560 which is available now, number one national bestseller.
00:28:12.680 Where is it, guys?
00:28:13.300 Get on the stick.
00:28:13.960 Okay, fine.
00:28:14.600 Good grief.
00:28:15.600 We got producers sleeping over here today.
00:28:17.160 And this is the whole point of my book, Speechless, is that the way that the libs win the culture, 0.54
00:28:24.540 most effectively and most consistently, is not by passing big laws and not by having big flamboyant campaigns.
00:28:30.520 It's by subtly changing our language to make us accept their incorrect premises before we even begin a debate.
00:28:36.400 So if we say, okay, we're not going to use the the anymore to refer to people, we are accepting the premise that people are fundamentally individuals,
00:28:44.520 that groups have no shared characteristics, that groups are not a real and politically illuminating category.
00:28:54.400 But of course, that is not the case.
00:28:55.820 Speaking of journalism, great story right now out of BuzzFeed that has really proven old Nolstradamus more and more correct every day this week,
00:29:08.820 which is that we started off talking about how AI passed a business school test, business school exam.
00:29:18.440 And that was the big headline, an AI chatbot passed a Wharton business school exam.
00:29:24.060 Wharton is probably the best business school in the country.
00:29:26.380 And I said, you know, it's not just going to be business school.
00:29:28.480 You're going to see this for lawyers.
00:29:29.640 You're going to see this for doctors.
00:29:30.480 What happened?
00:29:31.000 The very next day, headline, the AI chatbot passes or gets very close to passing bar exams and medical licensing exams.
00:29:39.200 Okay, and I said, the takeaway from this is that the elites are going to tell you that automation and artificial intelligence and technology,
00:29:47.080 that's going to get rid of lots of jobs. 1.00
00:29:50.140 It's going to render whole segments of the population useless.
00:29:53.760 The way that someone like Yuval Harari and others associated with the World Economic Forum describe this is they'll say,
00:29:59.820 oh, these useless people, these blue collar workers, these unskilled workers, 1.00
00:30:03.540 we're just going to apply them with drugs and video games, make them go away because technology is going to make them irrelevant. 0.97
00:30:08.200 And I said, that's not true.
00:30:09.900 In some limited cases, that might be true.
00:30:12.220 But the real people that technology will render jobless, it's actually white collar workers. 0.94
00:30:18.340 It's actually managers who would go to business school.
00:30:21.160 It's actually accountants.
00:30:22.140 It's actually some lawyers, some doctors for certain basic programs.
00:30:26.700 And now we're finding out that the people who need to go learn to code or go get another job,
00:30:30.720 it's going to be journalists because BuzzFeed has just announced that it will start using artificial intelligence,
00:30:38.200 intelligence, to create content.
00:30:41.840 Not just to curate its page and algorithms, but actually to create the articles that you look at on BuzzFeed.
00:30:48.320 Our industry will expand beyond AI-powered curation feeds to AI-powered creation content.
00:30:56.680 AI opens up a new era of creativity where creative humans like us play a key role,
00:31:00.780 providing the ideas, cultural currency, inspired prompts, IP, and formats that come to life using the newest technologies.
00:31:06.000 The coming industrial revolution.
00:31:10.500 We sometimes hear this from the World Economic Forum types.
00:31:12.520 Klaus Schwab, he'll say, we are in the fourth industrial revolution. 0.66
00:31:17.360 And this is supposed to make all of us unskilled, useless people.
00:31:23.080 The regular, the hoi polloi who don't france around the Alps at Davos. 0.82
00:31:26.640 This is going to make us all irrelevant.
00:31:28.700 If there is a coming industrial revolution that throws people out, it's going to affect the white-collar people.
00:31:38.120 And they're going to have to learn to code or learn something else.
00:31:42.440 We have now arrived at my absolute favorite time of the week.
00:31:45.160 That is the mailbag sponsored by Pure Talk.

00:31:52.300 Nostradamus, my knowledgeable lord of all things conservative, Italian, and or cigar-related.
00:31:59.440 I have a question about role models.
00:32:01.620 Does the type of person people look up to matter even if they speak on subjects like traditional masculinity?
00:32:07.400 One example I thought of was Andrew Tate and Jordan B. Peterson.
00:32:11.080 Both speak up for men, relationships, and mentality.
00:32:14.080 However, Tate is surrounded by a number of women, materialism, and is more aggressive. 0.87
00:32:18.060 While Peterson is a family man, psychologist, and is very careful in his delivery.
00:32:23.800 So does the type of person that people look up to matter even if they preach positive messages?
00:32:29.320 I'd love to hear your stance on this.
00:32:31.680 Now I'm going to put speechless, controlling words, controlling minds in my shopping cart.
00:32:35.360 I hope I get a bell.
00:32:38.480 Are we going to get a bell?
00:32:39.840 Hello?
00:32:40.660 Hello, everybody.
00:32:41.620 There we go.
00:32:42.180 Okay, good.
00:32:42.740 I'm glad to hear that.
00:32:43.980 Great question.
00:32:44.700 Yes, role models matter.
00:32:49.300 Role models matter because human culture comes from imitation.
00:32:54.980 This is one of those rare points on which the ancients and the moderns, the philosophers and the scientists,
00:33:03.400 the wise people and the atheists all agree.
00:33:08.240 See what I did there?
00:33:09.000 Plato, René Girard, Richard Dawkins all agree human culture comes from imitation, a process called mimesis.
00:33:21.520 The little baby learns to smile because the little baby is feeding and looks up at mommy,
00:33:26.720 and mommy looks down at the baby, and mommy smiles, and then the little baby mimics that smile.
00:33:31.140 This is how we learn to speak.
00:33:34.040 This is how we learn to think.
00:33:35.920 This is how we are educated and learn to behave.
00:33:38.900 This is how we develop personalities.
00:33:41.580 This is how we see people, see things that we admire, and we try to imitate parts of that.
00:33:47.120 And ultimately, if we want to have a good, holy, virtuous life, we want to imitate the highest good, goodness himself.
00:33:56.880 Christianity sees this not even in only an abstract God far away from time and space, but in the incarnation.
00:34:05.200 And so Christians strive to imitate Christ. 0.96
00:34:07.700 Human beings are not just disembodied heads floating around in the ether.
00:34:12.700 Human beings are souls and bodies, hyalomorphic beings moving around in time and space, real beings.
00:34:22.340 And so it's not enough to just listen to a little snippet and say, oh, that Andrew Tate fellow,
00:34:29.060 he said something that was almost broadly true about this one narrow topic.
00:34:33.760 No, when we have role models, those are models to imitate.
00:34:37.100 And we imitate people not just in certain ideas that they espouse, but in the way that they live their lives.
00:34:41.820 Next question.
00:34:43.820 Good morning, Michael Knowles.
00:34:44.840 My name is Nicholas.
00:34:45.660 I just wanted to see if this terminology correlated with your perception as well.
00:34:49.800 It seems like the center left and the center right are distinguishable by the central left having much more of a grounded foundation in their ideology,
00:35:04.620 and certainly the way that their voting habits,
00:35:08.080 because even if they're presented with a strong argument on the right,
00:35:13.220 they're much more likely, much more often to remain stable in their central leftist perspectives.
00:35:22.200 A central rightist perspective, if they're given, in their interpretation, a strong argument from the left,
00:35:31.720 a way that they immediately wouldn't be able to ideologically combat at the time,
00:35:38.900 they're much more easily swayed to then politically vote on the left rather than remaining stable in their right ideology.
00:35:49.500 I just wanted to see if you concurred.
00:35:51.580 Thank you so very much.
00:35:52.340 Have a good morning.
00:35:53.460 Really good question.
00:35:55.000 I'll try to break it down this way.
00:35:56.260 We think of politics as left versus right.
00:36:00.820 But you raise the issue of these people in the center, the center left and the center right,
00:36:07.260 and then we just tend to put those people in the categories of either left or either right.
00:36:11.820 That's why you refer to them as center left or center right.
00:36:14.080 But the people who are center left or center right, I suspect, have much more in common with one another,
00:36:20.440 certainly than they would with people on the right, the conservatives,
00:36:25.160 and perhaps even a little bit more in common than they would with people on the left.
00:36:29.800 Though the center left and the center right are closer to the left than either is to the right.
00:36:35.960 You can think of the people on the right as the conservatives.
00:36:40.620 You can think of the people in the center, center left and center right, as the liberals.
00:36:44.740 And I think you can think of the people on the left as some shade of commie, 0.66
00:36:49.680 Marxists, or some more radical leftist ideology.
00:36:57.720 The commies and the liberals share a lot because communism, Marxism,
00:37:03.920 all those shades of socialism come out of liberalism.
00:37:07.280 So they've got a fair bit in common.
00:37:10.160 The conservatives, the real conservatives, reject not only communism,
00:37:14.740 but liberalism, not just in certain policies,
00:37:17.620 but they actually reject the premises of liberalism.
00:37:20.220 They reject some of the high-flying nonsense that comes out of the Enlightenment.
00:37:25.080 They say, no, actually, society is not fundamentally secular.
00:37:28.360 There's no such thing as a neutral ground.
00:37:29.900 Man is not fundamentally an individual.
00:37:32.460 Tradition is an important thing.
00:37:34.040 We shouldn't rely on our unfettered reason.
00:37:36.200 We shouldn't recreate the world anew.
00:37:37.640 We don't want to constantly have revolutions.
00:37:40.440 So that's kind of a different thing.
00:37:42.580 The center-left is always going to be more influenced by the left than the center-right is by the right.
00:37:51.800 And the center-right is always going to be more influenced by even the center-left than they are by the right.
00:37:58.140 The outliers, I suspect, in all of this are the conservatives.
00:38:03.200 We talk about how the conservatives are the silent majority of Americans.
00:38:06.860 I don't know that that's the case.
00:38:08.020 I do think that a lot of people do have common sense.
00:38:10.400 That's something really working for the conservatives.
00:38:12.580 And I do think that the actual commies and pinkos are a relatively fringe margin. 0.82
00:38:17.620 The Antifa weirdos who chop off their body parts and dye their hair all crazy colors. 0.89
00:38:22.520 That is fringe.
00:38:23.340 There's more conservatives than that group.
00:38:25.520 But because that group has a lot in common, even with the liberals,
00:38:29.460 and because the center-right is actually part of the liberals,
00:38:33.760 overall, they can wield a ton of influence on society.
00:38:39.320 That is why they squish.
00:38:41.280 Because the squishes share the fundamental principles of the left, not of the right. 0.62
00:38:46.480 We call them center-right because they agree with us on some issues.
00:38:48.980 But they're, at the foundational level, we're pretty far apart.
00:38:53.640 Next question.
00:38:54.160 Hey, Michael.
00:38:55.880 I've got a question about family planning.
00:38:58.380 So my husband and I have three small children,
00:39:00.620 and we're really not ready now or possibly ever to have a fourth.
00:39:05.600 Just financially speaking, the dynamics of our family, et cetera.
00:39:09.300 So we're looking into our options.
00:39:11.180 And I've kind of come to the conclusion that the birth control pill is not quite biblical.
00:39:16.420 I mean, it seems like once the sperm and egg come together,
00:39:18.660 life is already starting to happen.
00:39:19.880 And now you're preventing it from implanting.
00:39:22.060 So I went off of that months and months and months ago.
00:39:25.820 But, I mean, I feel like I'm rolling the dice every month here.
00:39:29.360 So love to look into vasectomies.
00:39:32.180 But I was wondering what your thoughts are on that.
00:39:34.340 You know, are vasectomies fair game?
00:39:35.860 Since technically you're not even letting a sperm meet an egg in that instance.
00:39:41.120 You know, yeah.
00:39:42.980 Well, just love your thoughts, Michael.
00:39:44.000 Thanks.
00:39:44.700 Well, certain forms of contraception do not merely prevent the implantation of a sperm and an egg
00:39:51.320 that have come together to create a new person, but just prevent ovulation.
00:39:55.640 That's probably the dominant form of contraception anyway. 0.99
00:39:58.220 In the dominant forms of contraception, whether you're talking about from the men or from the ladies,
00:40:03.080 it's the contraception prevents this sperm and the egg from meeting. 0.77
00:40:06.960 So your bioethical concern here that the primary problem with contraception as opposed to forms of abortion and abortifacient drugs
00:40:15.660 is that you're preventing a fertilized egg from implanting.
00:40:20.280 That's not quite it.
00:40:21.240 It often starts earlier.
00:40:22.400 It's still wrong.
00:40:23.320 But it's not wrong because you're ending a human life.
00:40:26.700 It's wrong because you're supposed to be open to life.
00:40:29.920 Three kids, that's great.
00:40:33.260 I can't wait till I get three kids, God willing.
00:40:35.640 But come on, keep going.
00:40:37.740 Why stop?
00:40:38.740 Three?
00:40:39.560 The only real envy that I feel is, I was talking to another friend of mine who feels the same way,
00:40:47.100 is for people who have just a billion kids.
00:40:50.200 Because it's great.
00:40:51.020 It seems great.
00:40:51.760 Yeah, you don't sleep.
00:40:52.700 Yeah, it's definitely harder on the wife. 1.00
00:40:54.460 But then, you know, you look someday and you got all these kids and all these grandkids and it seems really, really nice.
00:40:58.940 So be open to life.
00:41:00.160 You say it's expensive.
00:41:00.980 It is expensive.
00:41:01.800 I'm not downplaying that.
00:41:03.700 But in terms of investments, in terms of any way you can use your money, a kid seems like a pretty good investment.
00:41:11.700 It seems more important than probably anything else you're spending your money on.
00:41:16.020 Beyond food to keep you alive and shelter to keep you warm.
00:41:20.060 Those are pretty necessary.
00:41:21.600 The rest of it is not better than another kid.
00:41:25.240 And then in terms of the vasectomies, there's a reason that men don't go bragging about their vasectomies.
00:41:31.920 There's a reason that men don't have vasectomy parties, unless there's some weird libs in Brooklyn or something. 0.97
00:41:36.240 It's because men feel that it's kind of emasculating.
00:41:39.960 Men feel that it's kind of, if not shameful, then something they don't want to write home about.
00:41:44.580 And I think for good reason.
00:41:46.820 You know, it's not quite the same as just castrating a guy, but it kind of looks the same.
00:41:50.580 And it makes a man feel that he's lost something of his potency.
00:41:56.480 And so, I wouldn't do it.
00:41:58.620 I think it's wrong.
00:42:00.040 Just don't do it.
00:42:00.940 I know a lot of people have done it.
00:42:02.100 A lot of people have, probably most people today, practice some form of contraception.
00:42:06.260 But, I don't know, come on.
00:42:08.300 You've got a limited time on this earth.
00:42:09.700 Be fruitful and multiply.
00:42:10.940 Kids are great.
00:42:12.860 Have more kids.
00:42:13.860 Next question.
00:42:15.240 Hi, Michael.
00:42:16.140 It's Elise again.
00:42:17.100 I have a question for you regarding yoga.
00:42:20.300 I have noticed that a lot of the parishes in my diocese are now offering a rosary yoga class.
00:42:28.920 And it's kind of popping up everywhere.
00:42:32.320 My parish isn't doing it.
00:42:33.860 But I wondered if you had any suggestions about if I should say anything.
00:42:39.160 I feel like as a Catholic, this is a really disturbing trend.
00:42:43.200 I'm not sure if other areas are noticing this.
00:42:46.580 But I'm not really sure what I can do as someone who's not a member of those parishes or if I should do anything.
00:42:55.940 But maybe just speak to the people that have brought this up to me.
00:42:59.780 So, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
00:43:02.160 And thank you so much.
00:43:03.800 Are those churches that you're talking about, are those parishes also hosting Catholic hages to Mecca? 0.71
00:43:10.540 Are they also, are those parishes hosting the Catholic jihad?
00:43:14.740 Are they hosting the carrot, the Catholic, rather, sacrifice of goat demons to the Greek and Roman gods? 0.56
00:43:24.120 Are they also doing that?
00:43:25.000 Why?
00:43:26.220 These things don't go together.
00:43:27.640 However, yoga is a Hindu ritual.
00:43:32.340 It's a Hindu religious ritual.
00:43:35.240 It is not Christian. 1.00
00:43:37.600 It is not monotheistic.
00:43:39.960 It is not at all compatible with Christianity. 0.96
00:43:43.180 I know a lot of Christians go to yoga classes.
00:43:45.880 And they say, well, I just, I like it because it stretches my body out and it makes me feel good.
00:43:49.500 And okay, that's what, you can do Pilates.
00:43:51.140 You can go stretching.
00:43:52.380 You can go to a gym.
00:43:53.680 Not suggesting that.
00:43:55.100 But yoga is not purely a physical exercise.
00:43:58.440 Yoga is a spiritual ritual.
00:44:00.460 It's a religious ritual.
00:44:01.460 That's why you do the om's and you salute the sun and you do all, and depending on how hippy-dippy your yoga teacher gets, you engage in explicit religious rituals.
00:44:14.000 So, if you're going to engage in religious rituals and you really love yoga and it's your favorite thing, then just admit that you're not interested in practicing Christianity.
00:44:26.580 You are interested in practicing another religion, probably Hinduism or Buddhism, and then you're going to go do that.
00:44:31.840 At least be honest with yourself.
00:44:34.100 But don't pretend that this sort of syncretic religious practice is Catholic.
00:44:41.200 It's not.
00:44:42.020 They're just not.
00:44:42.580 It would be just as crazy as saying, I'm going to go on a Catholic jihad. 0.63
00:44:46.780 I guess we had some of those.
00:44:47.980 It was called the Crusades.
00:44:48.960 But it's different than jihad.
00:44:50.120 Okay, it's just different.
00:44:51.260 You wouldn't say, I'm a Catholic Muslim.
00:44:53.380 I'm a Catholic Buddhist.
00:44:58.040 You're not.
00:44:59.240 That violates the law of non-contradiction.
00:45:01.980 Those religions make mutually exclusive claims, and you've got to pick one. 1.00
00:45:06.860 You certainly don't want to be lukewarm.
00:45:09.140 If you are Christian, you might have read what our Lord tells us about being lukewarm in the scriptures. 1.00
00:45:15.660 Not great.
00:45:16.960 All right, let's take one on paper before we get to the member block.
00:45:20.500 From Christine.
00:45:21.260 Dear Michael Knowles, do you have any suggestions on where a young woman can meet a nice Christian conservative man?
00:45:28.480 I tend not to frequent bars very often.
00:45:31.240 That's probably good.
00:45:32.200 Instead, I prefer to attend church, the gun range, and the grocery store.
00:45:34.980 Be still my beating heart.
00:45:36.060 I'm off the market, but you sound great.
00:45:38.140 I'm 30 years old.
00:45:39.000 I feel like an old maid.
00:45:40.020 You're not an old maid.
00:45:40.920 I unfortunately work from home.
00:45:42.280 I frequent the office as much as possible, but unfortunately, not many of my colleagues like to work in person.
00:45:46.720 It's frustrating.
00:45:47.480 Thank you for all that you do.
00:45:49.420 It's not a huge problem.
00:45:50.580 In the old days, if you weren't married by 30, that was a huge issue socially.
00:45:55.940 These days, if you get married before 35, you're like a child bride. 0.93
00:45:59.700 The culture has changed in very strange ways.
00:46:02.000 But I sympathize with your problem.
00:46:03.840 It's hard to meet people, especially these days as we're increasingly living in virtual reality in the metaverse,
00:46:08.200 and we don't actually meet people in public.
00:46:10.200 So I would be a little more intentional about it.
00:46:13.580 I'm not totally opposed to the dating apps.
00:46:16.080 I've never been on them.
00:46:17.040 I kind of missed that era.
00:46:18.400 But I'm not totally opposed to it in principle.
00:46:21.820 I know people who have met their spouses on dating apps, and that's kind of the way people date these days.
00:46:26.700 So I'd consider that at least.
00:46:28.600 And then you could do it the old-fashioned way, which is to have your friends and family set you up.
00:46:35.040 Maybe ask your co-workers to set you up.
00:46:37.080 And it can be a little embarrassing to say, hey, Sheila, you know any good guys?
00:46:42.260 You know anyone that I could, hey, Cousin Jim, do you have any buddies that you think I should go on a date with?
00:46:48.060 You know, I wouldn't just wait around forever for a man to come in riding on a white horse, knight in shining armor, and sweep you off your feet.
00:46:55.740 If ever that were the norm, it certainly isn't today.
00:46:58.840 So you'll have to be a little bit more intentional.
00:47:00.720 But I wouldn't lose hope.
00:47:03.000 Certainly by the standards of our culture, you're doing just fine.
00:47:06.080 You still have plenty of time.
00:47:07.300 You just have to get a little more intentional about it.
00:47:08.940 Okay, the rest of the show continues now.
00:47:11.500 We've got a lot.
00:47:12.240 It's Fake Headline Friday.
00:47:13.160 I need your help in sussing out which are the four real headlines, which is the fake headline.
00:47:19.200 And also, a buddy of mine is coming on the show very briefly to talk about his new movie that's coming out.
00:47:26.280 Because Greg Perot is the star of the new Left Behind movie.
00:47:31.820 And Greg Perot, he's got a lot of great credits.
00:47:35.000 So I'll wait until the member block.
00:47:36.920 But head on over.
00:47:37.520 The movie premieres this weekend.
00:47:39.680 It's going to be a huge smash.
