The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1192 - ＂The Trans Card＂ Is A Weapon For Libs And Criminals

00:00:00.000 L.A.'s notoriously soft on crime, George Soros-funded district attorney George Gascon

00:00:05.640 is finally getting tough on one of his prosecutors for offending a 26-year-old child rapist

00:00:14.920 that Gascon had punished with just two years in a juvenile detention facility.

00:00:21.760 Yes, George Gascon is dropping the hammer, not on the child-abusing monster,

00:00:26.620 but on Gascon's deputy, Shea Sanna, for misgendering and deadnaming James Tubbs, 0.92

00:00:35.720 who now goes by Hannah and who was recorded in jailhouse phone calls concocting the ridiculous

00:00:42.580 transgender identity to game the system and get off easy. Ironically, of course, by calling James 0.99

00:00:50.360 Tubbs him, Sanna is not misgendering the man. He's just gendering him. By calling him James,

00:00:59.400 he isn't deadnaming Tubbs. He's naming him. That's his name. But this transgender madness that garners 1.00

00:01:07.500 so much public attention is a symbol of a larger problem. It isn't just that our perverse leaders 0.98

00:01:14.920 call men women and women men. It's that they call criminals victims. It's that they call foreigners

00:01:22.600 Americans. It's that they call falsehood truth. They call evil good. They let the very worst criminals 0.98

00:01:29.600 off the hook, and they prosecute law enforcement for prosecuting the criminals in the first place.

00:01:35.820 I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:45.080 Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment yesterday is from Armin Pagosian, who says,

00:01:50.180 I would like to apologize to the bats for blaming them for COVID. Yes, I know. This is long overdue.

00:01:58.500 And although a lot of us were skeptical of the bad batch of bat soup theory from the beginning, 0.99

00:02:02.560 I think we need a formal apology to the bats and to the pangolins. Think about how the name

00:02:08.540 pangolin was just dragged through the mud, when really the names we should have been dragging 0.98

00:02:13.100 through the mud were Wuhan Institute of Virology, Xi Jinping, Dr. Fauci, who was funding the damn 0.96

00:02:19.460 institute and the research going on there. Those poor pangolins, they had nothing to do with it. 0.99

00:02:25.240 Okay, we got to clear the air. And when you want to clear the air in your room,

00:03:46.500 This transgender issue, it's all anybody wants to talk about. In fact, I got in trouble for this 0.99

00:03:53.800 issue yesterday. I, your beloved host, whom everybody loves so, I got in trouble for this

00:04:02.700 issue. It was my publicists over at Media Matters. They were working overtime yesterday, publishing

00:04:08.060 multiple articles about the allegedly egregious things I was saying on this show, which I always

00:04:13.280 encourage. I just retweet them when they put those articles out because those articles and videos tend

00:04:18.780 to be the highlights from my show. So I thank them for going through, clipping it out, making it look

00:04:23.340 really nice. And then they put it out into the world. The big issue that they had yesterday, which was

00:04:29.520 then picked up in other media outlets as well, is that I called to ban transgenderism entirely.

00:04:36.920 I made the point that if you want, if you want women to have their own bathrooms, if you think 0.99

00:04:42.780 women ought to be able to have their own locker rooms and not have to look at gigantic gross men 1.00

00:04:48.040 while little girls are getting changed. If you want any of those things, you have to ban 1.00

00:04:55.120 transgenderism entirely. It's not enough to say, well, you have to wait until you're 12 or whatever

00:04:59.380 people are saying now. It has to be the whole thing. Because if men have the right to behave as women 0.99

00:05:05.680 and identify as women for the purposes of public life, then women can't have their own spaces. 1.00

00:05:12.040 And we as a society cannot have our own standards and norms. And we're not allowed to live according

00:05:16.740 to reality. We have to live according to the delusions of these troubled people. And I think 1.00

00:05:24.020 we the people have a right to reality. And I think women have a right to their own spaces. And so that means

00:05:29.180 you got to ban the thing entirely. And oh my goodness, what these people say.

00:05:33.260 They said that I was calling for the extermination of transgender people. 0.94

00:05:40.820 They said I was calling for a genocide against, I said, what? I must have missed that part of my show. 0.97

00:05:45.580 When did I, did I say that? I don't, one, I don't know how you could have a genocide

00:05:52.120 of transgender people. Because genocide refers to genes. It refers to genetics. It refers to biology. 0.97

00:06:01.880 And the whole point of transgenderism is that it has nothing to do with biology.

00:06:06.880 That's what the transgender activists say. They say, forget about biological sex. My gender expression

00:06:12.780 doesn't have to have anything to do with my biological sex. Okay, well, then there can't be a genocide.

00:06:17.760 That refers to genetics. But furthermore, nobody's calling to exterminate anybody. Because the other

00:06:22.960 problem with that statement is that transgender people is not a real ontological category.

00:06:31.920 It's not a legitimate category of being. There are people who think that they're the wrong sex,

00:06:39.100 but they're mistaken. They're laboring under a delusion. And so we need to correct that delusion.

00:06:44.960 People said, well, what does it mean to ban transgenderism entirely? Well, it means that 1.00

00:06:52.500 we return to the way that American society operated until approximately five minutes ago when we said

00:07:01.160 that men do not have a right to present themselves as women in public life. And women don't have a right 1.00

00:07:09.820 to present themselves as men in public life. You have some limits on that.

00:07:14.100 We have all sorts of limits on our speech and behavior. If I wanted to right now, if the spirit moved me

00:07:19.000 and I wanted to go streaking naked through the streets of Nashville, I would not be allowed to do that.

00:07:24.360 That would be against the law. It might be my expression, but I don't have a right to that kind of free

00:07:31.020 expression. There are all sorts of words that I might want to yell and scream and say that I'm not allowed to

00:07:35.800 yell and scream and say, both because of the mores and standards and norms in our culture, but also because of

00:07:42.140 the law. And transgenderism ultimately is a lie. It's a deception. It's a fraud. 1.00

00:07:52.100 Fraud is not protected by the First Amendment. Fraud is not a category protected by the principles of free

00:07:57.880 speech. You have no right to fraud. So if you're a man and you dress up like a woman and you rename 0.67

00:08:04.380 yourself Sally, you have no right to go to the gym and go into the women's locker room and say, no, I'm really 0.99

00:08:10.580 a woman. That's a fraud. And you have no right to that. So banning transgenderism, what that would mean 1.00

00:08:16.660 is telling people who are a little confused that they need to get psychological help, that they probably

00:08:22.460 need to get a little bit of spiritual help, and they need to be normal. Be normal. I think that's my main

00:08:29.560 political message these days. How far right wing is that? It's so extremist, isn't it? No, it's the

00:08:34.900 most moderate position you're going to have. Be normal. Okay? Society has a right to standards and

00:08:42.580 norms. And people don't have a right to just do whatever they want all the time. If you are a man,

00:08:49.920 you have an obligation to behave basically like a man. And if you're a woman, you have an obligation to 1.00

00:08:54.820 behave basically like a woman. And I'm not saying there aren't tomboys, and I'm not saying there 0.99

00:08:58.900 aren't foppish men, but you do not have a right to express your personality or your gender expression 0.97

00:09:05.920 in any way that you want. That's what banning transgenderism looks like. And by the way, 0.98

00:09:10.940 that's how our society operated for pretty much all of its history. All the way down to cross-dressing 0.99

00:09:17.160 laws. There were laws against men wearing dresses in public in many places around this country,

00:09:22.620 including San Francisco. That's normal. Okay? And it didn't violate the First Amendment.

00:09:28.600 And it didn't violate religious expression. It actually just upheld reality. And it forced

00:09:36.720 people to bring their vision of the world a little more closely in line with reality.

00:09:43.920 But these days, if you suggest anything of the kind, you're called a fascist, an extremist, 0.97

00:09:48.340 and a genocidal maniac murderer. And the reason they do that is because if they call you any of those 0.94

00:09:52.580 things, a Nazi, a fascist, a murderer, you're calling for genocide, it allows them to justify 0.79

00:09:57.880 violence against you and death threats and all the rest of it. So there was one person, 0.79

00:10:01.460 one of the guys at Media Matters, who goes by Ari Denner. I don't think that's his real name. But

00:10:06.080 anyway, that's what he goes by. He was going overtime about this. And I thought,

00:10:10.700 he's obviously a very confused fellow. And I have a great affection for many of the people at Media

00:10:15.600 Matters, especially my chief publicist, Jason Campbell.

00:10:18.160 And so I thought, in the spirit of open dialogue, if Mr. Denner wants to come on the show and debate

00:10:23.880 the issue, Media Matters spends so much time watching my show, they can certainly come on

00:10:28.620 if they like. We could do a long interview. It could be two hours. You know the way I conduct

00:10:32.820 these things. It's not gotchas. It's not little tiny clips here and there. And we delete the rest of

00:10:37.800 the interview. Put the whole thing up. I would be more than happy to do that. So Media Matters is

00:10:41.560 more than welcome to get in contact with my producers. I'm sure that they have the contact info.

00:10:46.340 Meanwhile, the rest of the world is following the advice that I am recommending to America.

00:10:53.800 You're seeing in Canada now, detransitioners are suing their doctors for medical malpractice. 1.00

00:11:02.720 One case in Canada, there was one case in the United States. Now we're seeing a case in Spain.

00:11:07.260 Susana Dominguez, 24 years old, filed a claim against the Galician Health Service,

00:11:11.880 a publicly funded group in Spain, that prescribed her cross-sex hormones at age 16

00:11:16.140 performed a hysterectomy, removed her womb at age 19, and she now deeply regrets it.

00:11:22.520 She says that her condition is awful. She feels that her life has been ruined. When she was 15,

00:11:28.040 she was introduced to the transgender narrative on YouTube. When she was 16, she began receiving

00:11:33.260 testosterone from this health service. At 18, they chopped off her breasts. Her family paid for that

00:11:38.740 out of pocket. And then when she was 19, her endocrinologist suggested she have her womb

00:11:43.480 removed. It took her apparently six years from when she first believed she was transgender

00:11:48.720 to realize that perhaps her mental problems, and this is where YouTube is probably going to bleep me

00:11:54.900 because you're not allowed to say true things about this issue. But okay, fine, take it for what

00:11:59.480 it's worth. If you go to dailywire.com slash Knowles, you can get the unbleeped version of this show.

00:12:03.080 Her mental health problems included depression, several suicide attempts, and she recently discovered

00:12:09.900 that she may be autistic, and there is a high correlation between autism and transgender identity.

00:12:16.780 So she now believes that these conditions interfered with her ability to make 0.83

00:12:20.880 responsible decisions. When detransitioners sue medical practitioners for transing them when they 1.00

00:12:30.800 were little, that is another great way to ban transgenderism entirely. Because what that says 1.00

00:12:37.380 to the entire culture is, you cannot indulge this. You cannot indulge the fantasies of transgenderism. 1.00

00:12:43.740 It's going to open you up to great legal liability. Just that one law, if you just passed one law that

00:12:49.040 said detransitioners have the right to sue medical professionals if they regret their transition,

00:12:53.480 that would go 80% of the way to banning transgenderism entirely, as it should. Because one of the lines 1.00

00:13:00.020 that some of the wild eccentric people yesterday said was that I was harming transgender people

00:13:06.820 by suggesting that we ban the public toleration of this delusion. The people who most stand to benefit

00:13:16.140 from society banning transgenderism entirely are these so-called transgender people, these very, 1.00

00:13:22.360 very confused people who are being encouraged in their delusions by very irresponsible people.

00:13:27.380 That will not make them feel better. It will only make them feel worse. And it will make the rest of

00:13:33.100 us feel worse because when we live in lies, things don't go very well. Lies are not conducive to human

00:13:38.720 flourishing. So you're seeing this happen already. The US, Canada, Spain. I hope it happens all around the

00:13:45.960 West, all around the world. But really, this transgender issue is pretty heavily focused just here in the

00:13:51.680 West. I hope we see all of that and we return to a more normal, flourishing society, which would be

00:13:58.880 one in which transgenderism is totally banned. Now, when you want to convey some of these ideas,

00:15:21.340 has just made a trip to the 51st state. You know what I'm talking about, Ukraine. Janet Yellen made this

00:15:29.560 unannounced visit to Ukraine yesterday and she did so to support the nation's war effort against Russia

00:15:36.220 and also to bring Mr. Zelensky a lot of money. All the reporting had said Janet Yellen showed up to

00:15:43.060 support the nation's war effort against Russia. My question was, which nations? Ukraine's effort

00:15:49.840 against Russia? Is Ukraine really a nation exactly? Or with the visits from top CIA brass

00:15:57.380 to Ukraine over in recent years, with visits from the President of the United States, with visits from

00:16:03.160 Janet Yellen, kind of seems like Ukraine is just a part of our nation or maybe that Ukraine is just a

00:16:09.620 part of our empire. And what we're seeing here play out is an imperial war between the United States

00:16:15.000 and Russia over a buffer state, which Russia invaded. Janet Yellen says that she was there to, quote,

00:16:24.600 discuss critical economic assistance and our efforts to hold Russia accountable for their illegal and 0.82

00:16:29.020 brutal war, to reaffirm U.S. support for Ukraine, and to give them $1.25 billion from a nearly $10 billion

00:16:37.980 tranche of aid to Ukraine. She says, America will stand with Ukraine as long as it takes.

00:16:45.980 I think this is much more efficient than what we've been doing recently, which is we've been sending

00:16:50.020 different aides to Ukraine, or we sent yesterday, a few days ago, we sent the President of the United

00:16:56.200 States. But I think it's much more efficient if we send the Treasury Secretary, because she's in

00:17:00.240 charge of the money. So let's just cut out the middleman. Let's get all that money going over to

00:17:04.580 Ukraine. I actually, this year, as we prepare our taxes, I think I'm going to include Vladimir

00:17:09.660 Zelenskyy as a dependent on my tax forms. If we're going to fund the war, I, at the very least, 0.94

00:17:15.140 want to get some marginal tax benefit from it. My other question is, how easy is it to fly into

00:17:23.480 Ukraine? I thought there was this bloody war. It was going to be World War III. This is the worst

00:17:29.160 war zone in the world. And yet, everybody flies in there. You've got all these world leaders.

00:17:33.780 The President of the United States, the Treasury Secretary a few days later. I don't know. It

00:17:38.900 just, that seems a little discordant to me. I'm not quite sure. Although I guess it was ever thus.

00:17:45.460 The United States, this isn't just a Biden problem. The United States, for well over 100 years,

00:17:52.140 has owned imperial territories and conducted the business of empire. And that's what we're doing

00:17:58.560 now in Ukraine. And so we can either whine about it and say, that's not how the Constitution was set

00:18:03.400 up or whatever. Or we just recognize that's exactly what it is. And we cut out all the

00:18:07.780 silly gobbledygook about all sorts of abstractions and liberalism and democracy. And we say, 0.80

00:18:13.740 that's what we're fighting. We are claiming some territory here. And we want to, we believe it's in

00:18:19.520 the American national interest for Ukraine to be on our side, not on Russia's side.

00:18:22.880 A little skeptical of that imperial expansion, but the liberals who run our country and who

00:18:28.140 effectively run the American empire, they're all in. And they've been all in for many, many decades

00:18:33.580 now. Speaking of foreign affairs, we covered yesterday this new breaking report, this new

00:18:41.420 conclusion out of the energy department that it turns out COVID very likely came from a laboratory in

00:18:48.860 Wuhan, not from the Wuhan wet market. That's what the energy department has concluded. That's what

00:18:55.280 some other agencies of the U.S. government have concluded. Just wanted to take you on a little trip down

00:19:00.680 memory lane to the media's reaction to that theory just a few years ago.

00:19:10.120 Because we don't know where the novel coronavirus came from yet, the conspiracy theories fill the void.

00:19:14.840 Chinese researchers have already determined the coronavirus is 96 percent identical at the whole

00:19:21.300 genome level to a bat coronavirus. 27 public health scientists from across the U.S. and the world

00:19:28.660 wrote this letter in the journal Lancet condemning conspiracy theories and citing scientific evidence,

00:19:35.560 including the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, that supports the theory that overwhelmingly conclude

00:19:41.880 that this coronavirus originated in wildlife. Off the top of his head comes conspiracy theories on

00:19:49.540 the Internet. And even yesterday, you saw some of his supporters, some people on the Internet

00:19:56.800 starting to suggest that it was like a bioweapon, which, of course, nobody said that. The president

00:20:02.760 ever even said that. Just said it may have come out of a lab.

00:20:06.660 Guy that didn't Tom go to Harvard? I think so. I think Tom's a Harvard

00:20:11.460 guy, very well educated. Tom Cotton, a couple of days ago, spouting a conspiracy theory that the

00:20:21.960 Chinese made this virus up. You have the lab and there you go. Tom Cotton, one of Donald Trump's 1.00

00:20:27.480 staunchest allies in the Senate, suggested that the virus might have originated in a high security

00:20:33.180 biochemical lab in China. In the 1980s, I remember when the far left trafficked in rumors about HIV

00:20:40.640 having been invented in CIA labs. The far right has now found its own virus conspiracy theory.

00:20:48.480 Here's how CNN covered it in print. It's a headline. Nearly 30 percent in the U.S. believe a coronavirus

00:20:55.460 theory that's almost certainly not true. Coronavirus almost certainly came from an animal, not a lab

00:21:00.880 leak. Top scientists argue. Lab leak COVID-19 theory is like something out of a comic book,

00:21:05.220 virologists argue. This is my favorite one. Its origin is up for debate, but it wasn't made in a lab.

00:21:11.700 And then finally, U.S. Energy Department assesses COVID-19 likely resulted from a lab leak.

00:21:19.660 There it is. Thanks to Cabot Phillips for pulling all of those headlines there.

00:21:24.360 That's how it is. That's how it goes. We should apologize to the bats. We should apologize to the

00:21:31.500 pangolins. You should, not you. If you're listening to this show, you're probably much more open-minded.

00:21:37.180 But the liberals out there should all apologize to their crazy conservative uncle and to their

00:21:42.000 intransigent conservative grandparents or whoever they were all angry at. You uneducated rubes, I can't 0.98

00:21:47.780 believe you think it's from a lab. No, the genetic makeup of the virus, it's so clear. All the experts

00:21:54.500 say it's definitely not from a lab. It's not just COVID. It's not just the lab leak theory.

00:22:01.540 This is how the news always operates. That's how the news is operating right now. Act accordingly.

00:22:08.500 Speaking of outlandish claims and foreign affairs, AMLO. AMLO is the leftist president of Mexico.

00:22:19.880 AMLO is claiming that he's got a photograph of a Mayan mythological forest sprite in the woods.

00:22:31.680 Far from the craziest thing AMLO has ever said. He says, I'm not going to read it in Spanish.

00:22:37.620 My Espanol is muy, muy mal. I'll just share the Google translation. I share two photos of our

00:22:44.860 supervision of the Mayan train works. One taken by an engineer three days ago, apparently from an

00:22:49.400 Alux. Another by Diego Prieto. They have a splendid pre-Hispanic sculpture in Ecbalam. Everything is

00:22:57.220 mystical. So he's got these two photos. One of this weird thing up in the tree with two eyes sticking out

00:23:04.760 that does look kind of weird, like a little weird Mexican elf type thing. And then the other of a 0.98

00:23:11.000 sculpture of this kind of creature. And it seems as though the Mexican president is suggesting that

00:23:16.680 such creatures exist. And I know this is an unpopular opinion here. I don't think it's that

00:23:22.040 crazy. Think about all the insane things that people believe today, that all the scientific people

00:23:29.620 believe today. They believe that the world is going to end because of the sun monster in 10 years.

00:23:34.700 They believe that men can be women. They believe in aliens. They believe in all sorts of insane

00:23:40.480 things that aren't true. But they don't believe in spiritual beings. Spiritual beings, which we know

00:23:51.200 are true. We know that they're true. I know sometimes people on the show, they start to lose it a little

00:23:57.900 bit when I mention that angels and demons exist. But of course angels and demons exist. Because we

00:24:05.420 know that spirit exists. And the way we know that spirit exists is that we are, in part, spiritual

00:24:10.140 beings. And we, even if you don't admit that you believe in the spiritual realm, you act as though you

00:24:18.360 do. You act as though matters of the spirit, joy, love, good, evil, immaterial things, intangible

00:24:28.620 things in the world. You act as though they exist from the moment you wake up to the moment you put

00:24:32.260 your head on your pillow at night. So why is it so crazy to believe that there's some weird mystical

00:24:36.560 spiritual being hanging out in a tree in Mexico? It is much more plausible that whatever was photographed

00:24:42.260 in that picture is an alux or whatever AMLO calls it, than that it is a alien or a transgender person

00:24:53.380 or climate change. The existence of all of which is far more dubious. On to even less plausible claims,

00:25:04.200 Joe Biden just wrapped up Black History Month. We've just concluded the first major month in the

00:25:11.920 liberal liturgical year. That would be Black Month. Now we're moving into Woman Month. Very soon we will 1.00

00:25:18.100 be into the first Gay Month. There is a second Gay Month that takes place later in October. But now

00:25:24.760 we're in the first one of the religious calendar of liberalism. And Joe Biden concludes it by claiming

00:25:31.880 that he was a figure in the civil rights movement.

00:25:35.680 I know most of those songs for a simple reason. As my buddy from Delaware can tell you,

00:25:42.580 when you're involved in the civil rights movement as a kid in high school, I used to go down to the

00:25:46.060 black church. I go to 730 mass. I'm a practicing Catholic. Then I go to 10 o'clock. And then we sit

00:25:51.300 and plan what we're going to do in terms of deceptive. You think I'm joking. I'm not.

00:25:55.520 You think I'm joking. I'm not. The thing is, though, he is not joking. He's just lying. And Joe Biden had

00:26:02.480 made these claims before that he was involved in the civil rights movement and that he actually grew

00:26:07.100 up in a black church. Yeah, he's a Catholic, but he would go to that black church after mass, which is

00:26:11.500 not true and also not permitted by the Catholic church. Not because the other church was black, but 0.86

00:26:18.560 because it's Protestant. If you're practicing Catholic, you're not allowed to participate in the

00:26:22.540 religious services of other religions. So not that Joe Biden is the most meticulous and observant

00:26:29.820 Catholic in the world. Far from it. But it was just obviously bogus. And in fact, he's admitted 0.53

00:26:36.000 that it was bogus. When reporters questioned in 1987 Biden's claim that he marched in the civil

00:26:42.440 rights movement, he acknowledged that he, quote, wasn't an activist. And he said that his most

00:26:48.540 significant experience with civil rights as a young man was when he worked at a mostly black swimming pool

00:26:54.500 as a college sophomore in 1962. So he's admitted that in the past. And in fact, people who worked

00:27:01.420 at and helped to run the black church that he's talking about have gone on the record to say, yeah,

00:27:06.900 Joe Biden wasn't here. He later became friends with the pastor when he was in politics, but he wasn't

00:27:11.980 here. That's just totally made up. And that's Joe Biden. Lies effortlessly. He lies so effortlessly

00:27:19.460 that I think half the time he probably isn't even aware that he's lying. Something you'll notice.

00:27:24.840 I've known a couple of pathological liars in my life. Maybe you have two people who, I'm not saying

00:27:30.300 people who tell a white lie every now and again. I'm saying people who lie as a matter of course.

00:27:37.560 People whose word you cannot trust ever. And what's really crazy about these people is

00:27:44.180 they don't even seem to know the difference between truth and lies. It's all kind of the

00:27:50.080 same for them. And that's certainly the case for Joe Biden. What it does tell you though,

00:27:54.400 is that the civil rights era is the central myth in America today. We're just talking about

00:28:04.320 mythological creatures down in Mexico. The civil rights era is the central myth more than the American 0.70

00:28:11.280 Revolution, more than the Mayflower, more than the Civil War, the civil rights era. When I say myth, 0.60

00:28:18.680 I don't mean that it didn't happen. I don't mean that it doesn't have an historical basis.

00:28:23.900 I just mean this story that we tell ourselves about our country that animates the way that we

00:28:31.860 live today. That all comes from the civil rights movement. And actually, there was a great book a few

00:28:38.060 years ago by Christopher Caldwell at the Claremont Institute called Age of Entitlement, who argues

00:28:41.840 that the civil rights laws created a parallel constitution, in many ways supplanted the old

00:28:49.160 U.S. Constitution. And when you see the way that our law works today, that seems to be a pretty

00:28:54.100 persuasive thesis. So why is Biden lying about this stuff? He knows that that is a central story for the

00:29:00.520 U.S. Now, he looks ridiculous doing that. And Democrats broadly look ridiculous. They are really, 0.99

00:29:07.420 really troubled right now. The New York Times has acknowledged that John Fetterman is having a lot

00:29:13.880 of problems. Pennsylvania Democrat senator who had a stroke right around the time of the Democrat

00:29:19.760 primary. He continued to run in the general election as a stroke victim who was barely able to speak,

00:29:25.820 who had all sorts of physical problems, who didn't show up on the campaign trail all that much,

00:29:29.700 but still showed up when he was needed. He ended up winning the election. And then just a couple of

00:29:35.220 weeks ago, he checked himself into a hospital in D.C. for clinical depression. And he has plenty of

00:29:42.160 reason to be depressed. He's got a very tough life right now. And the people around him are not allowing

00:29:45.660 him to rest and recover and recuperate. They're actually just using him to continue to advance

00:29:51.480 the Democrat agenda, even if it's not good for him personally. They won't let the poor guy go home.

00:29:55.880 Well, it's kind of weird that we've had a U.S. senator in the hospital for two weeks now.

00:30:00.400 We haven't heard any update at all. Not one. And the New York Times is saying this might be because

00:30:09.260 there are some permanent brain problems here. New York Times, quote, he has not, oh, and this is coming

00:30:14.800 from an aide to Senator Fetterman, quote, he has had to come to terms with the fact that he may have set

00:30:23.220 himself back permanently by not taking the recommended amount of rest during the campaign.

00:30:27.900 And he continues to push himself in ways that people close to him worry are detrimental.

00:30:33.140 So now you might have permanent problems with a U.S. senator in the hospital for two weeks,

00:30:38.880 not a mention of it. And they're hiding from the reporters here because they know that no matter

00:30:44.060 what the real story is, it does not reflect very well on them. No wonder Democrats want to jump ship.

00:30:51.040 Senator Joe Manchin was one of the few moderate Democrats left in the entire country.

00:30:56.200 Joe Manchin was just on Maria Bartiromo's show. He was asked about not only his political future,

00:31:02.240 but even how he would classify himself within the party. He would appear now to be

00:31:07.400 something of a trans politician. He's in one party, but he doesn't necessarily identify with that party.

00:31:14.040 The country has to be about America and coming together.

00:31:19.120 Do you still identify as a Democrat?

00:31:20.540 I'll be involved any way I can.

00:31:22.160 Do you still identify as a Democrat?

00:31:23.660 I'll be involved any way I can to help.

00:31:25.100 I identify as an American. I'm an American through and through.

00:31:28.900 Will you run for governor?

00:31:32.760 I'm going to do whatever I can to help my country come together and my state come together.

00:31:37.840 Senator, thank you. It's great to see you this morning.

00:31:40.600 Senator Joe Manchin in West Virginia.

00:31:42.480 We'll be right back.

00:31:44.560 What? Hold on. Wait, now there was some crosstalk there. So I don't think Manchin was at the top

00:31:48.720 trying to avoid the question. But Maria Bartiromo, superb journalist, just saying,

00:31:53.380 well, do you still call yourself a Democrat? He goes, I call myself an American.

00:31:58.500 And now Joe Manchin coming to the end of his Senate term says, well, are you going to,

00:32:02.660 what are you going to do in the future? Are you going to run for governor? He's already been a

00:32:05.360 governor. And he says, well, I'm going to do what I can to serve my country. I'm an American.

00:32:08.760 Kind of a weird answer. Very, very ambiguous. Chuck Todd over on NBC pushed Manchin even further.

00:32:17.400 You run for office in 2024. You're going to run as a Democrat?

00:32:22.100 Chuck, I haven't made a decision what I'm going to do in 2024. I got two years ahead of me now to

00:32:25.960 do the best I can for the state and for my country. What's on the table? Is re-election on the table?

00:32:31.160 Everything's on the table. Is running for governor on the table or no?

00:32:34.400 No, I've done that. That you've ruled out. I've done that.

00:32:37.240 So everything on the table, there's basically only one other thing, the presidency. Is that

00:32:41.140 something you would do outside the Democratic Party? The only thing I can tell you is what I

00:32:44.680 will do is whatever I can when I make my decision, what I think is the best that I can support and

00:32:49.300 represent the people of West Virginia, but also be true to this country and the constitution of this

00:32:53.380 country. That sounds like something, somebody that's looking for a way into national politics.

00:32:58.660 Well, every senator's on a national. I understand that, but you know where I'm going.

00:33:04.600 I know where you're going, and the bottom line is.

00:33:06.360 You're not telling me no. I'm telling you that I'm going to do everything I can to make sure

00:33:10.520 that when I make my decision, I make it based on what's best, what I think I can do to support

00:33:15.080 and best for my country and my state. Joe Manchin wants to be president, and he wants to be

00:33:22.320 president not necessarily as a Democrat, he might run as a Republican.

00:33:25.760 Which underscores my thesis that in 2024, I may be the last person in the country not running for

00:33:34.900 president. It would seem that everybody wants to run for president as a Republican in 2024.

00:33:40.220 I just happen to be a little too young, okay? I don't quite meet the constitutional threshold yet.

00:33:43.980 But pretty much every eligible man over the age of 35 is looking to do that right now. Why?

00:33:52.280 Because they know that the current administration is so, so weak. They know that the agenda from

00:33:57.420 that administration and from that party is so, so poisonous. They see a great opportunity,

00:34:03.340 and they know that they do not want to be associated in any way with the insane policies

00:34:08.620 of the Democrats, which basically amount to let criminals off the hook, let some of the very

00:34:14.760 worst criminals off the hook. Open up our borders. Give all your time and money and attention to

00:34:20.740 Ukraine, not any of it to Ohio and to our own citizens. Call men, women, women, men. Destroy 0.99

00:34:26.100 women's spaces and spit on American history. That's the Democrat agenda right now. Is it any wonder 1.00

00:34:32.800 that the people who want to run want to run as a Republican? Speaking of presidents, you know,

00:34:37.520 standing six foot four inches tall, Abraham Lincoln was our tallest president. Already towering over

00:34:44.580 the men of his era, a young girl once asked Lincoln why he always wore such a tall stovepipe hat that

00:34:50.400 made him look even taller. Honest Abe looked down at her, removed his hat, showing her inside, and said,

00:34:57.000 to better store all of my great Jeremy's Razors products. That's what he said. It was an important

00:35:04.180 moment in history that the left wants you to forget. But while the left cancels history,

00:35:09.600 Jeremy's Razors celebrates it. That's why we're still offering 30% off any razor during our

00:35:15.180 President's Day sale. Act fast, because the sale ends tonight. You can get the glorious, smooth six

00:35:21.900 razor for a close, comfortable shave that cuts hair below the surface, which is especially useful

00:35:35.380 chance to get 30% off woke-free shaving kits. Also, in case you missed it this past weekend,

00:35:41.300 Yes or No, the greatest interview show on the internet returned with special guest Ben Shapiro.

00:35:45.280 Currently, half the country has no accountability or ability to reason.

00:35:49.500 And it's just a coincidence, half of the people are women.

00:35:51.860 Ah, this is such a trap right here. Okay, here we go. Okay, all right, here we go. One, two, three.

00:36:15.220 If you wonder what it's like to trade places with me, you are in luck. You can be the host.

00:36:19.000 You can be the guest. You can get your friends involved when you pre-order Yes or No, the game

00:36:24.160 right now from dailywire.com slash shop. We ordered 1,000 copies of the game last year,

00:36:29.360 sold out instantly. We've ordered thousands more. They are all going to sell out too.

00:36:33.880 Pre-order right now. We do still have some copies, but you should pre-order right now if

00:36:37.740 you want to get them. Dailywire.com slash shop. And now, finally, one of my truly favorite times of

00:36:46.520 the week, not my very favorite time, but one of my favorite times, I get to hear from you live

00:36:52.540 on the air while I take your calls. Let's turn right now to Thomas in New York. Thomas, how can I

00:37:01.460 help you? Hey, Mike, it's good to talk to you. Good to talk to you. What's your question?

00:37:08.020 Um, first of all, I just want to say thank you as a fellow Catholic and traditional Latin

00:37:14.440 mass goer. It's really very enjoyable to have someone that knows politics to lean on. So thank

00:37:21.120 you very much for your show. Glad to hear it. Thank you. Um, and I did have one, I had a question

00:37:26.980 about, um, the ends of marriage that you talk about, um, for the good of the spouses and the

00:37:32.680 generation of children. Um, as a recently married man, myself with a baby born right around the time

00:37:40.940 of your second baby, um, in our pre-cana, we were always told that, uh, the generation and education

00:37:49.240 of children was the primary and secondly, and closely followed by, um, by the, the mutual support

00:37:58.100 of the spouses. And I was just interested on if that, you know, if that's your opinion or it was

00:38:04.780 just, I always just noticed that you, you always mentioned first, uh, the, the neutral support of

00:38:10.060 spouses followed by a generation of children, but isn't the generation of children, the primary end

00:38:14.880 or? Sure. Well, it's, it's the, it, it is the ultimate end. Uh, but I suppose I would, I would

00:38:21.640 probably say that the good of the spouses is the primary end in as much as that comes first. So I'm not

00:38:26.740 saying it's the primary end in that that is more important, but I am saying that it does come first.

00:38:31.840 So when one gets married, one is joining together two spouses, not everybody gets to have children.

00:38:36.960 Plenty of people suffer from infertility for some people who do suffer from infertility.

00:38:40.900 It might be some encouragement to recognize that in the Bible, many of the greatest figures in the

00:38:47.780 Bible struggle with infertility going all the way back to the book of Genesis. And, uh, even actually 0.70

00:38:55.320 all the way up to our lady when, when the angel Gabriel comes to her and says, you'll conceive a

00:38:59.520 child. And she says, how is this possible? I know not man. Even her, her bewilderment at the idea

00:39:04.040 that she will conceive a child speaks to a, a, a special, uh, relationship between, uh, our lady and

00:39:13.180 fertility, an unusual sort of relationship between our lady and fertility to put, to put it at least

00:39:18.380 mildly. So, uh, the spouses come together first and then the end of that, the purpose of marriage

00:39:24.220 is the generation and the education of children. Uh, but if, if one cannot have children naturally,

00:39:31.600 uh, then this does not negate the purpose of marriage. There is more to marriage than that.

00:39:36.700 There are wonderful fruits of marriage beyond having children. But yes, I think if your point is

00:39:41.980 that the kids are really what it's all about and the other things are of, of a kind of a secondary

00:39:50.300 or ancillary importance, uh, that, that would be true. Okay. Let's turn to Christian from Virginia.

00:39:57.740 Christian, how can I help you?

00:40:02.900 Christian, do I have you or are you gone?

00:40:07.180 Christian's gone. Okay. Goodbye, Christian. It was nice knowing you.

00:40:11.740 Uh, Mitchell from Florida. Mitchell, how can I help you?

00:40:17.200 Hi, Michael. You can hear me?

00:40:19.400 I can.

00:40:21.220 Okay, perfect. Uh, so just a little background. I'm 21 years old, so I'm a Gen Z-er. Um, and I kind of

00:40:29.200 just wanted to ask you, how do we point our people in my generation towards Christianity? Uh, because I

00:40:35.920 see it as a problem that, uh, you know, as the generations passed, we're straying farther away

00:40:40.900 from God and his word. So how do you, how would you say that we should go about pointing people

00:40:46.040 in that direction? Well, we have a real advantage right now, which is that the modern secular scientific

00:40:52.260 culture has exposed itself to be a fraud. So for, for a long time, the modern, uh, scientific,

00:41:00.460 technological, secular culture seemed like it was just winning constantly and people were getting

00:41:07.380 happier and life was getting easier and you had fewer obligations put on you by those mean old

00:41:13.160 fire and brimstone pastors. And it was great. Women could do whatever they want. Men could go do

00:41:17.340 whatever they want. We'd all make a lot of money and we could trust in the results of science and

00:41:22.620 empirical observation. And in recent years, specifically over the last three years, you've

00:41:28.200 seen this breakdown. The scientists have a worse track record than African shamans doing a rain 1.00

00:41:32.740 dance. The scientists are, have been exposed as a total fraud. And so I think people's trust in 0.88

00:41:38.200 science as an enterprise has broken down, which I think is a good thing. Uh, the supposed liberation

00:41:45.140 that came along in the 1960s in particular has broken down. People are miserable. Men and women have 0.59

00:41:51.540 become much less happy. Women have become significantly less happy in absolute terms and 1.00

00:41:58.060 relative to men. You now have, uh, young people depressed and suicidal in this country at a rate

00:42:03.940 that we've never seen before. You have one in eight women in America, between one in eight and one in 1.00

00:42:08.840 five, depending on which study you believe, uh, taking depression drugs. One in something like 23

00:42:14.200 teenagers, 12 to 19 in America taking depression drugs. So that's all fallen apart too. People want

00:42:20.520 something more. This is why I think young people, when they return to religion, tend to return to more 0.51

00:42:25.600 traditional and Orthodox forms. This is why in the Catholic church, the traditional Latin mass is so

00:42:30.340 popular among young people is because they don't want soft soap and, and guitars. And to be told

00:42:36.240 they're also wonderful. They want the truth that that's what they're, they want something solid that

00:42:41.020 they can ground themselves on. Uh, so when I, when I was a kid, I was 13, it was the rise of the new

00:42:48.040 atheists, this publishing phenomenon with Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Daniel

00:42:53.100 Dennett. And it really won me over. And, and I was persuaded by these guys whose arguments now I

00:42:58.800 consider to be pretty shallow, but they won me over for about two years. And it's because there

00:43:02.300 was this sort of perfect storm. You had scandals in the church. You had what seemed like the endless

00:43:09.380 success of technology. And now that's not the case. So I think the conditions are much more conducive

00:43:16.160 toward religion now. And we just have to speak the truth in love. You know, the tree by its fruits.
