00:00:00.080 As the pseudoscience of transgenderism evolves by the day, seemingly by the hour,
00:00:05.800 one Munchausen by proxy mother has offered a new category of evidence
00:00:10.000 for being born in the wrong body, vegetable preferences.
00:00:16.720 Had anxiety and would never sleep and we couldn't figure out what the problem was.
00:00:21.140 We took him to specialists and neurologists and he had brain scans trying to figure out why
00:00:27.240 he couldn't sleep. Then as he grew, he got to sleeping. But his food choices were odd. They
00:00:36.280 were always like green vegetables, raw green vegetables, which if you know kids, most kids
00:00:41.800 don't like to eat those things. And then the precocious puberty. All of those things, once we
00:00:51.100 figured out, uh, that he was transgender, when he came to us and told us, uh, that he was
00:00:58.380 transgender, when we went back and realized that the pattern of everything, um, that he had
00:01:06.200 experienced as a child, including eating green vegetables, because that boosts testosterone
00:01:11.700 were just methods of his body trying to become who he was meant to be. His brain does not match his
00:01:22.620 physiology.
00:01:27.740 The brain is part of physiology. Your brain can't not match your physiology because your brain is
00:01:36.000 physical and constitutes part of your physiology. This woman has no idea what she's talking about.
00:01:40.920 Obviously, because she thinks her daughter is a boy because she ate vegetables. It isn't funny.
00:01:46.600 It's so absurd that one is tempted to laugh until one remembers that this lunatic has done her level
00:01:53.580 best to ruin her daughter's life. I mentioned this clip, which is a public clip. This is a woman
00:02:00.360 who not only did and believes these things, but willingly admitted to it at a public forum in Louisiana
00:02:07.240 over a bill that would protect kids from people like her. I mentioned this clip, not just to make
00:02:13.540 a point about transgenderism, but to make a point about belief in general. Lots of modern people
00:02:20.800 consider traditional religion to be superstitious. They think that Christianity in particular is
00:02:27.620 preposterous. That Christianity is unfit to be the animating spirit of our nation.
00:02:33.180 Christians believe in an omnipotent God and the incarnation and the redemption. How crazy is that?
00:02:41.020 Yeah. And modern liberals believe that eating green vegetables means we ought to chop a person up
00:02:47.380 to make him look like a grotesque caricature of the opposite sex. I'm not saying that religion isn't
00:02:54.900 mysterious. But if you think Christian civilization is weird, just you wait until you experience
00:03:03.060 non-Christian civilization. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show.
00:03:14.840 Welcome back to the show. We've got a great clip out of the White House as the world falls down
00:03:22.220 around us as we might be on the brink of World War III. Karine Jean-Pierre faces the toughest question
00:03:28.640 of all. We'll get to that in just a moment. First, though,
00:03:35.060 which is transier, would you say? Spinach or bud light? Which is more likely to make you a little
00:03:43.240 bit light in the loafers? Which is more likely to push you toward the rainbow flag? Would it be spinach?
00:03:49.480 Would it be escarole? Would it be broccoli rabe? Or would it be a can of bud light? Bud light is
00:03:55.440 sick of the jokes. Bud light has had enough of the jokes about them. And Anheuser-Busch is saying,
00:04:01.920 it was just one can. This is their new, every day they have a new response. Every day you get a
00:04:08.540 letter or a commercial about horses or this or that. So here's what bud light has said now. This is
00:04:15.120 their distributor. They say, this was one single can given to one social media influencer. It was
00:04:25.220 not made for production or sale to the general public. This can is not a formal campaign or
00:04:31.240 advertisement. Leave us alone. Leave Britney alone and stop it. In reality, they say, the bud light can
00:04:37.880 was posted by a social media influencer that sparked all the conversation,
00:04:43.000 was provided by an outside agency without Anheuser-Busch's management awareness or approval.
00:04:51.340 Since that time, the lack of oversight and control over marketing decisions has been addressed and a
00:04:56.180 new VP of bud light marketing has been announced. Okay, great. So this is the biggest walk back we've
00:05:03.020 seen yet. Certainly better than when bud light doubled down on the campaign. Certainly better than
00:05:08.320 the letter from the CEO where he basically just said, I love the military. Stop boycotting us.
00:05:13.260 Certainly better than the horses commercial. Better even than the temporary suspension of this VP of
00:05:18.220 marketing. They're saying, look, this was obviously a mistake. They're insinuating this was obviously a
00:05:23.460 mistake. I don't, we didn't, it wasn't, it wasn't even a campaign. It wasn't even, it's not even what
00:05:28.480 you think it is. Just, okay. You're so close. Say you're sorry. Say you're sorry. Say it was the wrong
00:05:40.180 decision and say, and this is the crucial part, say that men and women are different. Say that men can't
00:05:48.840 really be women. Say that you oppose transgender ideology. That is the only way to fix this.
00:05:58.700 You're so close. Every day, every three days, you inch a little bit closer to doing that,
00:06:05.100 which would probably work, but you don't ever quite get that. You're so cautious. And
00:06:11.440 you think, bud light, that by being cautious and clever in your language, that you're going to be able
00:06:17.980 to straddle the fence here. You're not. Your sales numbers are just going to get worse and worse and
00:06:22.140 worse. It's not like the sales numbers declined and then they've kind of just stayed there. That
00:06:26.460 would be a problem for bud light too. They keep declining because there's no middle road on this
00:06:33.040 issue. To quote a certain speech from CPAC this year that caused a lot of consternation,
00:06:40.180 there is no conciliatory middle way on the issue of transgenderism. Some issues there,
00:06:44.620 there is a middle way. This one, there isn't one. Either men and women are different or they're not
00:06:49.680 different. Either women get their own bathrooms or they don't get their own bathrooms.
00:06:54.040 You maybe could have avoided the issue had you avoided the issue. I'm not saying that every
00:06:59.560 company in America needs to go send out a statement of metaphysics and anthropology, okay?
00:07:05.920 But you inserted yourself into the issue and you offended your whole customer base and you said
00:07:12.600 something that's manifestly wrong. And it's a, it's, it's a urgent search social issue that is
00:07:20.840 having harmful effects for lots and lots of people, really for everybody involved, especially for the
00:07:26.040 people who've fallen prey to this confusion. So now you're in it. And the only way out is going to
00:07:31.300 be through. The only way out, Bud Light, you can do it. You say, I'm sorry, we were wrong.
00:07:40.600 Transgenderism isn't real. Come out and say it. We'll drink Bud Light again. I drank like three Bud
00:07:48.200 Lights a year, but I'll drink Bud Light again. If Bud Light came out and said it, it would be better to
00:07:53.380 me than had Bud Light never waded into these waters in the first place. If Bud Light came out and said,
00:07:58.380 we're sorry, this was wrong, transgenderism's fake, men can't really become women, I would buy more Bud
00:08:05.720 Light than I did before because that would send a message to the rest of corporate America, which is
00:08:10.900 that if you come out and defend the truth and sanity and reason, we will have your back. You will have an
00:08:20.880 audience base there. It would encourage other companies. So do it, Bud Light. Do it. I'll buy a case or two.
00:08:26.420 I don't know. I'll at least talk about it. When you want to talk to your friends, you got to check
00:08:29.540 out Pure Talk. Right now, head on over to puretalk.com slash Knowles. We all know about the big
00:08:35.860 wireless cell companies out there. They lock you into these horrendous contracts, and then if you try
00:08:40.800 to get out of them early, they tack on outrageous charges, which is why I love Pure Talk Wireless, where
00:08:46.540 there are no hidden fees, no contacts, and no hassle. Pure Talk's U.S. customer service team has helped
00:08:52.640 so many people make the switch in as little as 10 minutes. They were even able to keep their own
00:08:58.100 phone number. I'm so glad that I use Pure Talk. Frankly, just the U.S.-based customer service team
00:09:03.180 would be enough for me, but you get the same networks that you're using right now. You can
00:09:08.560 get unlimited talk, text, plenty of data. The price is much, much lower. It's so simple. It's so easy.

00:09:29.040 Pure Talk. Pure Talk is simply smarter. Wireless. Speaking of middle of the road, we got all the
00:09:39.160 Republican presidential candidates. We've got three presidential candidates for the Democrat
00:09:43.680 party. Joe Biden running as the 2023 liberal establishment. Finger in the wind, whichever way
00:09:50.000 the progressives want to go, that's the way he goes. You've got Marianne Williamson, who is the
00:09:54.380 dark psychic forces, new agey candidate in the race. And then you've got RFK Jr. And RFK Jr.
00:10:01.900 is running as a Democrat from the past. Here's what RFK Jr. had to say on immigration.
00:10:09.080 He said, Francisco Oropiza Perez Torres has been arrested for the murder of five people,
00:10:16.000 including a nine-year-old boy. Torres is a Mexican, already deported four times. It is not
00:10:20.840 anti-immigrant bigotry to demand an immigration system that keeps out criminals. In fact, letting
00:10:27.160 them in stokes bigotry. As president, I will enforce a secure border and I will expand the kind
00:10:32.980 of legal immigration that made our country great. Okay. That's a perfectly reasonable position if
00:10:44.360 you're a Democrat from the 1960s. But that is not the position today of modern Democrats or modern
00:10:54.180 Republicans. People want more than just stopping illegal immigration. The Democrats want mass,
00:11:02.320 mass migration. The federal government came out yesterday, said that we're looking at 10,000
00:11:09.760 border crossers per day. So that's what, over three and a half million people per year, in addition
00:11:14.820 to the million legal immigrants who come in. Democrats want, they want even more than that.
00:11:21.120 They want to flood the country with foreign nationals. They think it redounds to their political
00:11:24.340 benefit. The Republicans say, no, we don't, we don't want any illegal immigration. A lot of
00:11:30.480 Republicans are now finally beginning to talk about restricting legal immigration too. And then you
00:11:35.620 look at public opinion surveys, the vast majority of people, including lots of Democrats, want to
00:11:40.880 drastically reduce not only illegal, but legal immigration too. According to a Harvard Harris
00:11:45.360 poll that I keep, I keep bringing up on the show because that poll, unlike a lot of polls on
00:11:51.400 immigration, asked precise questions. So it wasn't just this sort of poll, do you like immigrants or are
00:11:56.680 you a bigot? It was a poll that got into numbers and they asked, what is the ideal number of immigrants
00:12:02.780 per year? People said numbers like half a million. A half a million is very different from what we're
00:12:08.940 looking at right now. Three million, four million, five million, who knows? There's, there's,
00:12:15.820 there's no 1960s Democrat lane in this race. You've got to pick a side and conservatives and
00:12:25.440 Republicans sometimes fall into the same trap that Bobby Kennedy Jr. is falling into, which is you
00:12:30.100 think, well, let me just rewind the clock 20 years. Let me just rewind the clock in this case,
00:12:35.720 50 or 60 years. And then we're just going to freeze time there. But that's not how time works. That's not
00:12:40.520 how politics works. Ideas have consequences and power and they have a movement and history has a
00:12:46.680 movement. And so you can't just rewind the clock and then go back to where you were with exactly the
00:12:52.340 same premises. You're going to end up in very likely the same place that you are right now. So we need
00:12:57.240 to think, okay, what's the purpose of immigration? Is the purpose of immigration to do justice to the
00:13:03.100 people around the world? Or is the purpose of immigration to help our country? You're going to have
00:13:07.020 very different immigration policies. Who sets immigration policy? Is it some liberal apparatchiks
00:13:12.740 who are unaccountable to the people? Okay, then you're going to get millions and millions of
00:13:15.400 immigrants every year. Who sets immigration policy? The people? Well, if it's the people, then you want
00:13:19.640 to not only get rid of illegal, you want to drastically reduce legal as well. It is not the 1960s. You can't
00:13:25.980 freeze time. You can't freeze history. It's important for politicians to know what time it is. I applaud
00:13:32.820 Bobby Kennedy for trying to bring his party into a saner place. It's not there. It's not going there
00:13:36.920 anytime soon. So your options are where the modern progressive Democrats are or the Republicans and
00:13:45.340 the conservatives. And we need them to be clearer as well. Speaking of immigration, do you know how many
00:13:50.860 illegal aliens are waiting to flood into our country in about six days?
00:13:58.260 700,700,000. There are 700,000 foreign nationals in Mexico right now who are waiting for Title 42 to
00:14:11.920 expire on May 11th to flood into our country. This is according to, well, this is according even to
00:14:24.280 the federal government. We're looking at the number of people that would constitute the city of Boston
00:14:30.680 or my own city, the city of Nashville, waiting to flood into the country, Title 42. So that's, okay,
00:14:37.540 you're going to get 700,000 then. Then you're going to get another, what, 10,000 per day. Where does it
00:14:41.600 end? Where does it end? It ends with Democrats just replacing the American people. I know you're not
00:14:51.960 allowed to say that. I don't, I don't know what the politically correct term is because you, the
00:14:55.600 Democrats told me you can't refer to replacement theory, whatever replacement theory is. Okay,
00:15:00.860 well, what do you call it when you intentionally flood hundreds of thousands of people into the
00:15:04.580 country? And, and furthermore, what is the point of having a military? Is the point of having a
00:15:10.980 military so that we can go invade Libya and so that we can go and fight a war in Ukraine and so that we
00:15:17.960 can go into Iraq and Syria? Or is the point of having a military to protect our country? Because
00:15:22.640 if stopping 700,000 foreigners from invading our country is not a good use of the military,
00:15:28.600 I don't really know what is. Speaking of law enforcement, meant to get to this story yesterday.
00:15:35.840 It's the one that everyone on the left is talking about. That would be Jordan Neely. Jordan Neely
00:15:41.620 was a homeless guy who was arrested 40 plus times. I think it was 44 times in New York
00:15:50.400 for things like public lewdness, for assaulting a senior citizen. So for pretty serious stuff.
00:15:57.740 And then he was on the subway. He was behaving in a way that according to eyewitnesses was hostile and
00:16:02.420 erratic. And so someone intervened to protect the people on the subway. A lot of people get hurt on
00:16:09.980 the subway. I've been in the New York City subway many, many times. And I've seen people acting
00:16:13.980 violent. I've seen people threatening people. Increasingly in New York, you're seeing people
00:16:19.680 physically harming others. And New York doesn't do anything about it. The cops are largely told to
00:16:26.580 stand down. And then sometimes when the cops do arrest people, the DAs, the Soros-funded prosecutors,
00:16:31.540 let them off the hook. So you take your life in your hands now in certain parts of New York,
00:16:37.080 in certain parts of the subway system. So what happened? A few guys go in, they subdue the guy,
00:16:41.480 but Jordan Neely dies in the process. What does AOC say? AOC says, Jordan Neely was murdered.
00:16:50.520 But because Jordan was houseless and crying for food in a time when the city is raising rents and
00:16:57.260 stripping services to militarize itself, while many in power demonize the poor, the murderer gets
00:17:01.560 protected with passive headlines and no charges. It's disgusting. I don't want to sound callous in any
00:17:06.120 way here. Homeless people in New York do not want for food. That is not a thing. I am very
00:17:14.820 sympathetic to the plight of homeless people. I think that what we have done with regard to
00:17:19.800 homeless policy is awful. It's a complete abdication of duty. It's the fault, especially of the left,
00:17:25.840 but of the right as well. It's the fault of an idea that we in a political community have no
00:17:31.080 obligation to our fellow citizens and the idea that we have no right to interfere with the
00:17:37.640 behavior of fellow citizens, even when those fellow citizens are mentally ill or addicted to drugs.
00:17:44.420 The conservatives sometimes have said, well, you know, they'll figure it out.
00:17:49.580 That's the worst version of conservatives. But the left for a very long time has said, well,
00:17:53.720 you have no right to stop a man from doing drugs. You have no right to involuntarily commit a mentally
00:17:57.960 ill man. Homeless people have the right to live on the street. That's no right. That's a way to die.
00:18:02.600 That's a way to be killed in an altercation. That's a way to die of a drug overdose. That's a way to die
00:18:06.800 of exposure. So I am totally sympathetic. But all of that is prefaced to say, if you are a homeless
00:18:14.140 person in New York, you will be offered 10,000 sandwiches a day. And what happens is when you offer
00:18:22.280 homeless people sandwiches in New York, sometimes they'll say, okay, thanks. And you go, you get
00:18:27.780 them a sandwich, maybe a chat a little bit. A lot of the time they won't want it because what they
00:18:31.940 really want is money for drugs. What they really want is money for whatever else. They don't actually
00:18:39.420 want the food. So AOC is saying, oh, he was mad. He was crying out for a loaf of bread. But that's of
00:18:43.480 course not what happened. If you've been arrested 44 times, don't you think the time might come to say,
00:18:49.400 okay, buddy, we're not going to let you out this time because you can't take care of yourself.
00:18:53.680 And so you don't have the ability to exercise your liberty and we're going to get you the help
00:18:56.800 that you need. But no, that doesn't happen. And so when there's not a regular authoritative
00:19:03.120 trained force to help in these matters, people are going to protect themselves or they're not.
00:19:08.880 And some senior citizen is going to get assaulted again, or they're not. And someone's going to get
00:19:12.740 stabbed on the subway. But then these guys come in and they take care of this threat. And then the
00:19:22.240 guy sadly dies. And now we've got the next George Floyd riots. The only thing that surprised me about
00:19:28.100 this story is it's a little bit early. Wouldn't you say it's a little bit early? It's only May of
00:19:35.340 2023. The election's not until November of 2024. So the libs are going to try to create a new George
00:19:41.860 Floyd situation. And they're going to impel protests and riots. And they're going to try to intimidate
00:19:48.360 Republicans with their shock troop activists on the ground. And they're going to try to burn
00:19:53.980 buildings down. They're going to try to threaten businesses. And they're going to try to do all
00:19:57.800 the same stuff that they always do because we're headed into a presidential election year.
00:20:04.460 Just seems a little early. Can you, if they're pulling this kind of stuff now, if AOC is pulling
00:20:08.340 this game now, can you imagine, can you imagine what it's going to look like in a year? By the way,
00:20:16.380 the autopsy of Neely showed no fracture to his hyoid bone, which can, doesn't always, but it can
00:20:21.460 indicate homicide by strangulation. So they're going to have more tests to reveal how he died. But
00:20:26.300 it is ruled a homicide now. They are going to have to prosecute these guys because the mob,
00:20:32.720 which doesn't care for truth, demands it. If you, along with tens of millions of people,

00:21:51.800 I could not be happier. Congratulations. I too will be planning that transition if and when the
00:21:58.400 official reparations program goes into effect. And I might also identify as a twin. And maybe that
00:22:05.080 1.2 million, maybe that can become 2.4 million. Speaking of the police, the Nashville PD is continuing
00:22:13.960 to stonewall on the manifesto of the trans-identifying shooter who shot up a Christian elementary school.
00:22:20.740 I have been defending the Nashville PD in part because of the heroic actions of the officers,
00:22:28.800 but in part because I know that this is a politically tough case for them. And I know
00:22:35.200 that they've got the FBI breathing down their necks. Even though the FBI, the Memphis field office,
00:22:40.260 told the Daily Wire in the days after the shooting that the FBI really has no jurisdiction here.
00:22:44.680 There's no evidence that the FBI should be involved. But then all of a sudden,
00:22:47.680 we find out the FBI is involved. And there are all of these issues about releasing the manifesto
00:22:52.440 for virtually every other one of these shootings where there is a manifesto, we get to read the
00:22:56.420 manifesto. We especially get to read the manifesto if it's an angry straight white guy who is in any
00:23:02.120 way right wing. But in this case, where all signs seem to point to transgenderism being the ideological
00:23:13.180 factor in the shooting, here we don't get the manifesto. So what are they saying? They say,
00:23:22.060 due to pending litigation filed this week, the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department has been
00:23:28.380 advised by counsel to hold in abeyance the release of records related to the shooting
00:23:32.760 at the Covenant School pending orders or direction of the court. Okay. Why do they have to hold it?
00:23:42.060 What's the litigation? The litigation is from the Tennessee Firearms Association trying to get the
00:23:47.860 manifesto out. So they're saying that the Tennessee Firearms Association asserts that the police wrongly
00:23:53.980 denied public records requests. And so they want to get the manifesto out. And the Nashville PD is
00:23:59.680 trying not to release the manifesto. And then their excuse now as to why they won't release the
00:24:05.460 manifesto is that there's pending litigation about why they won't release the manifesto. So this is
00:24:09.440 obviously a purely political matter. And the political leadership that is preventing the Nashville
00:24:15.820 PD from doing the right thing should be ashamed of itself. And we should see the manifesto.
00:24:20.340 Period. Okay. Now, two stories I really want to get to from the federal government itself. One is,
00:24:29.860 you know, they're always going after, the libs are always going after Clarence Thomas. They hate
00:24:35.900 Clarence Thomas. They're saying Clarence Thomas is bought and paid for. He's bribed. He went on a
00:24:39.540 fancy vacation with some Republican guy. And therefore, he has to quit the Supreme Court. They say,
00:24:44.460 oh, Clarence Thomas, he knows people in politics. And this is a terrible conflict of interest. Okay,
00:24:51.420 well, how about this? This is a story broken by the Daily Wire and Luke Rosiak. Liberal Supreme Court
00:24:55.580 Justice Sonia Sotomayor took $3 million from Penguin Random House, her book publisher. And she refused to
00:25:04.700 recuse herself from cases involving that publisher. You know, a conservative donor took Clarence Thomas on a
00:25:11.860 vacation to his woodland resort. I don't know. What's the value of that? I don't know. Probably
00:25:17.940 not a ton of money, but whatever it is, you know. Is it $3 million? And then has Thomas been dealing
00:25:23.480 with litigation involving that donor and not recused himself? And no, of course, it's always
00:25:28.700 whatever the libs accused the conservatives of, they did it better. Now, no one cares. No one cares
00:25:33.140 about the hypocrisy. So that's not going to affect anything at all. It's just good to have this in our
00:25:37.480 quiver. This is a really great story. Great job, Aunt Luke, for uncovering this. The next time they
00:25:43.140 go after Clarence Thomas, which will probably be Monday, this is the great story to pull out and
00:25:48.200 defuse that. And speaking of the libs not being able to answer questions, Karine Jean-Pierre,
00:25:54.940 not known as the greatest White House press secretary in history. We're on the brink,
00:25:59.260 potentially, of World War III. You've got a drone attack on the Kremlin to kill Vladimir Putin.
00:26:04.260 Biden, you're seeing the U.S. involvement in Ukraine has ramped up. You're seeing the economy
00:26:09.180 collapsing. You're seeing runs on banks. You're seeing 700,000 migrants at the border. Biden's
00:26:13.040 got a lot to answer for, but he can't even answer the basic questions. Joe Biden won't even answer
00:26:17.240 how many grandchildren he has. He has very cruelly refused to acknowledge his seventh grandchild
00:26:22.880 because she was born out of wedlock and she's Hunter Biden's daughter. So we finally had a reporter
00:26:31.180 ask Karine Jean-Pierre about this. Here's what the White House said.
00:26:34.260 I wanted to ask about the trial going on in Arkansas with Hunter Biden and the child support.
00:26:39.800 Are the president and first lady monitoring that? And how come they haven't acknowledged
00:26:43.540 the seventh grandchild? I'm not going to speak to that from here.
00:26:47.180 Go ahead.
00:26:48.160 I'm not going to speak to that from here. Ask this question every day. I know it seems like a trivial
00:27:00.160 point and in the grand scheme of politics, I suppose it's not the most important issue,
00:27:07.800 but it's just so nasty what Biden's doing. It's just so cruel what this guy has done.
00:27:13.200 Imagine you're this little girl and your grandfather is the president of the United States and he refuses
00:27:20.580 to acknowledge you and he's a forgetful guy. So when people do remind him, he just refuses to
00:27:25.260 acknowledge. Imagine growing up like that. Being told not only does your father not want you and
00:27:30.540 your father is a complete degenerate Hunter Biden, but that your grandfather, who's supposed to be the
00:27:34.740 good guy, who's the president of the United States, something you could be really proud of,
00:27:37.480 even though you've got a kind of a difficult background. And then this guy says, I want
00:27:41.080 nothing to do with you. I don't even acknowledge your existence, granddaughter. That's such a cruel,
00:27:46.420 ugly thing. And it really cuts against the nice guy. Good old uncle Joe, give me an ice cream cone
00:27:50.960 to lick. Jack, I'm a normal guy. Come on. I'm likable. Good old Joe. It really cuts against that
00:27:54.900 reputation. It's a nasty, nasty thing to do. I hope they hold his feet to the fire and I hope that they
00:28:01.080 force Biden to do the right thing. Absolutely. Now, putting political pressure on the White House,
00:28:09.800 putting political pressure on Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, and really great news coming out
00:28:14.520 of St. Louis. Looks like a George Soros funded prosecutor, Kim Gardner, is going to have to step
00:28:21.180 down as St. Louis circuit attorney. Why? Because she engaged in one too many, obviously politically
00:28:29.640 motivated prosecutions. And so there's a lot of pressure on her right now to step down. She is
00:28:35.840 insisting that she's being targeted. She is insisting that all of this political pressure,
00:28:41.800 it's forcing her not to be able to do her job as a prosecutor. And it's totally unjust. But the fact
00:28:47.520 is, if she had the political capital to survive, she would. But she hasn't because she's bad at her
00:28:51.940 job. She's not serving the people that she's supposed to serve. And the Republicans finally have
00:28:56.520 enough force that we can get her out of it. Great stuff. I love it. I know that the squishes are
00:29:00.900 going to hate this. They're going to say, we shouldn't be politicizing the Justice Department
00:29:05.160 and prosecutions. Yes, we should. We need to wield all of the political power that we possibly can
00:29:11.280 right now because the libs control everything. No more Mr. Nice Guy. We've got to force these
00:29:17.820 prosecutors out of office. We've got to tax the university endowments. We've got to beef up
00:29:23.740 defamation laws so we can go after the liberal media. We've got to beef up antitrust so we can
00:29:28.400 go after big tech. We need to do everything. It's got to be a full, we've got to build our own
00:29:33.700 economy. We've got to build our own institutions. We've got to boycott Bud Light. I don't want to
00:29:37.920 hear about, listen, I don't want my companies to be involved in politics at all. Well, the libs are
00:29:43.680 going to force that. So as Oren McIntyre has put it very well, he says, the party that wants to win
00:29:48.700 is always going to beat the party that wants to be left alone. So if you've got the left in this
00:29:52.060 country, forcing the corporations to adopt their insane ideas, and then you've got the right saying,
00:29:56.440 I just don't, I don't want any kind of politics, then the corporations are just inevitably going
00:30:00.700 to move to the left. That's why this Bud Light boycott is so great. No, we've got to go further.
00:30:05.760 We've got to stop suffering from this failure of imagination. We've got to say, hey, Bud Light,
00:30:10.900 staying out of politics, that's no longer good enough. Come out and say, transgenderism is fake.
00:30:16.020 Say you're sorry for adopting it. Insinuate at the very least that it's bad for society,
00:30:20.840 especially bad for the kids who are being chopped up by Munchausen, by proxy mothers who think that
00:30:24.740 green vegetables turn you trans. Cut it out. Enough. No more Mr. Nice Guy. We need to be Mr.
00:30:30.360 Good Guy. We need to be Mr. Just Guy. We need to be Mr. Ordered Society Guy. We shouldn't just be nice
00:30:36.480 and allow very bad people and ideas to ruin our country. Now we're going to turn to some very good
00:30:42.500 people. The very good people in our mailbag. This mailbag is sponsored by PureTalk. Go to puretalk.com.
00:30:47.940 Select a plan. Enter code Knolls to get 50% off your first month. They gave me a telephone on set
00:30:53.820 today. I kind of like the idea. Can I ring, ring, ring? Give me the first voicemail.
00:30:59.400 Hey, Michael. This is Iowa Conservative. I'm 25 years old and my wife is 24. We have three kids,
00:31:05.880 four and under. My wife is currently a stay-at-home mom. And my question to you is,
00:31:10.600 is I currently work from home. I make $85 to $95 a year. I'm, you know, climbing the ladder,
00:31:17.000 getting promotions and everything. But if I do take the next promotion and keep on climbing this
00:31:23.160 ladder, it will require overnights. Not a lot of overnights, maybe like once a month or once every
00:31:28.640 other month. But it's still time away from the home and from the family. Overall, it's obviously going to
00:31:33.760 be more money, better job, better pay, everything like that. Or do I stay at home, working from home
00:31:42.160 for a few years and am around for my child's younger years? What's your take on this?
00:31:50.100 I need one extra piece of information, which is, are you saying that the difference is right now
00:31:54.440 you're working from home 100% of the time, but if you get the new job, you're going to be working
00:31:58.360 from home some of the time, but you're also going to be working overnights somewhere else some of the
00:32:02.880 time? Or is it you're working from home now and the new job would require you're in the office all
00:32:08.600 the time and sometimes you're there overnight too? The reason that matters is it's just a totally
00:32:15.420 different lifestyle between working from home and not working from home. If it were me,
00:32:21.940 you know what I would do. I would take the job. I work a lot of overnights. I travel around the
00:32:26.960 country. I'm traveling right now. And I don't love to do it. I try to minimize it. But if you're saying
00:32:32.420 it's going to be one or two nights a month and that's going to give you a substantially higher
00:32:37.060 salary and more importantly, put you on a path to make more money and have a have a bigger job down
00:32:41.800 the line, yeah, I would say that's a no brainer to me because you're making decent money. You're
00:32:47.860 making 85, 90 grand a year. That's good money. But four kids, what happened? Five kids, six kids.
00:32:54.480 I don't know how many kids you're going to get. I mean, it seems like you're on the right track. So that
00:32:57.900 money can go away pretty quickly, especially now that under Joe Biden's inflation policies,
00:33:02.080 a cup of coffee costs like $72. So I would probably do that. The only argument against it,
00:33:08.380 I would say, because I'm also pretty traditional in that I like the idea that man goes out,
00:33:12.120 brings home the bacon, you know, he doesn't need to be home all day. And I think sweet little Elise
00:33:15.780 would get sick of it if I were home all day. But the question is, if we're talking about, okay,
00:33:24.780 this new job is you're really at the office all the time. And then in addition to that overnight
00:33:28.520 as well, what is the additional cost going to be to you for childcare? Maybe you need someone to help
00:33:34.920 out with the kids during the daytime hours every now and again. Maybe you consider that. Maybe you
00:33:40.420 consider how, maybe you just consider how important your career is to you. If you were making no money,
00:33:51.360 I'd say, go get a real job. Come on. But you're making decent money. So I would, I would lean
00:33:56.900 toward take the job, but it's not a science. It's not a totally even cut thing. You've got to analyze
00:34:01.780 all of the particulars. Next one. Hi, Michael. Big fan of the show. Really appreciate all that you do.
00:34:09.760 So I just finished with a nice vegan propaganda documentary. And it led me to an interesting
00:34:17.920 thought that I think you might find pretty interesting as well. In Genesis, it talks about
00:34:25.300 before the fall of man, how there was no death in the garden. Now, if there was no death in the garden,
00:34:33.900 I'm assuming that would also mean animals. And since animals need to die in order to be eaten,
00:34:41.880 would that mean that Adam and Eve were vegans? Look forward to your thoughts. Thanks.
00:34:53.500 I don't see why they'd have to be vegans. I guess they were probably vegetarians. That is my read on
00:35:00.300 the garden. Because you don't really see anyone eating meat until after the flood. Which doesn't
00:35:06.120 suggest that it's wrong to eat meat. Just a fact of where we are in history now. But yeah,
00:35:13.920 in the Garden of Eden, I assumed they were vegetarians, but why can't they get the milk
00:35:17.700 out? There's no death, but you'd probably get like a little milk out of the cow, right? You'd
00:35:21.520 probably get cheese. You'd probably get eggs. No, there's no defense of veganism. There's zero
00:35:26.400 defense. There's some days one can be vegetarian. Fridays, it's a good day not to eat meat.
00:35:31.220 Maybe eat some fish or something. But no, that's true. And after the flood, we get meat. And now
00:35:37.960 we're making up for lost time with good ranchers. Okay, next one.
00:35:42.000 Hello, Michael. Otherwise, Nolstradamus. This is Holly McLean. Username is Mommy Answer Lady.
00:35:48.320 And I have a question that you can settle among your Nolz-It-Alls on Facebook. The question has
00:35:53.440 arisen of whether you would prefer your newly forming cult to go by Nolz-It-Alls or Creme de la
00:35:59.700 Creme. The dilemma is that you refer to all those who are members of the Daily Wire and listen to the
00:36:06.000 members block of your show as Creme de la Creme. But there are some who are joining the cult who are
00:36:12.200 not members of Daily Wire. So do you wish your loyal followers to be called Nolz-It-Alls, meaning all
00:36:19.460 who want to enter the cult, whether DW subscribers or not, or Creme de la Creme, meaning only those who are
00:36:27.120 members of Daily Wire and can hear the members block? And if the latter, should we change the
00:36:32.400 name of the Facebook group from Nolz-It-Alls to Creme de la Creme? Love the show, Michael. Nolz-It-Alls for
00:36:38.620 life. Thank you very much. Very important question. I guess if we're talking about my cult,
00:36:47.700 I would moderate, I would model it after that NXIVM cult. You remember the NXIVM one that was in
00:36:55.720 the news like four or five years ago? Because the NXIVM cult, it was a cult, but then there was a cult
00:37:01.920 within a cult. So it was NXIVM and then I forget what the inner one was. And NXIVM was just broadly
00:37:09.200 kind of weird. And then the inner cult was dungeons and whips and chains and sex stuff. So I'm not,
00:37:16.260 which I'm not suggesting or encouraging occur in this case. But I mention it because perhaps the
00:37:23.000 broader category, you know, the cult that kind of pulls people in, that could be the Nolz-It-Alls.
00:37:30.500 And then that inner circle without the weird sex stuff could be the Creme de la Creme or vice versa.
00:37:37.220 I don't know. That's not up to me. Okay. I don't take on the day-to-day managerial
00:37:42.880 responsibilities of the cult. I simply want to be the guru, you know, like that Indian guy in the
00:37:51.640 Midwest or, but, and I cannot stress this enough without the weird sex stuff. But thank you. I'm
00:37:58.700 very excited to know what you decide upon for this important matter. Okay. Next one.
00:38:04.380 Hi, Michael. I didn't grow up religious at all. I wasn't baptized and never went to church.
00:38:11.220 I'm now 25 and I want to explore religion, but I'm finding it hard. Every time I take a step into
00:38:17.680 religion, I get so overwhelmed and realize that there's so much that I don't know or that I don't
00:38:22.840 understand. I only know two people who say that they have a relationship with God and both of them
00:38:28.240 have different views and beliefs. Do you have any advice for me on how to stop feeling so overwhelmed
00:38:33.620 and any tips on how to go from a firm atheist to believing in God? Also, thank you for the work
00:38:39.260 you do. And I think listening to you has helped me realize that religion should be an important part
00:38:44.100 of society. Wonderful. I'm so pleased to hear all of that. The advice I give people now is not the
00:38:53.740 advice that I took exactly, but I'll just give it to you because I've heard it is helpful for a lot of
00:39:00.300 people, is just start by praying. I especially love to pray the rosary. I think the rosary is a
00:39:06.080 wonderful prayer. So you could begin with that. How did it work for me, though? I was in a similar
00:39:11.660 situation from you. It's sad. I mean, you were truly raised without any religion. I was raised with
00:39:15.640 some religion, but I fell away from it at age 13. And so here's what I would do if it were me. Though
00:39:22.400 I think probably for most people, praying is, that's probably the smarter and quicker way to do it.
00:39:28.780 I took a very long time here. I first became convinced that God exists, and I was convinced
00:39:33.560 that God exists by the many arguments for God's existence. Thomas Aquinas' five ways, the ontological
00:39:39.900 argument, there are all sorts of arguments for the existence of God. The arguments for the existence
00:39:43.660 of God, I think, are quite persuasive. I've never seen any good argument against the existence of
00:39:47.640 God, even including the problem of pain, theodicy, which is probably the nearest thing to an argument
00:39:54.020 against God. Okay, so God exists. Then the question is, who is God? What is God like? And of the theistic
00:40:00.640 religions, you've got Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. You've got, there are these sort of
00:40:10.120 Manichaean dualist religions of a good force and an evil force, but the arguments for God don't really
00:40:15.980 lend themselves to that. That's just nonsense. So, okay, you got Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Seems
00:40:21.180 like a good place to start. Might be to read the Bible or attend church, where the Bible is read liturgically
00:40:27.420 and within the tradition. But you go through that, and then you say, okay, God exists. God is like the God
00:40:33.380 of the Bible. Now you've got to deal with the person of Christ. Is Christ who he says he is?
00:40:38.720 I confronted that problem, I don't know, about maybe 23 years old or something. And I concluded,
00:40:45.440 yes, he is. C.S. Lewis writes beautifully about this in a modern way. Mere Christianity was a book
00:40:50.880 that was important when I was reverting. And so I say, okay, yes, Jesus is who he says he is.
00:40:55.440 And then you have to confront, okay, well, what is his church like? Is his church what the Catholic
00:41:03.060 church says it is? Is his church like any of the Protestant denominations say that it is? What's
00:41:09.500 the church like? And I reverted greatly under the influence of a lot of Protestant theologians and
00:41:15.720 speakers and writer like C.S. Lewis. So obviously, I have a great deal of respect for our Protestant
00:41:21.880 friends. But I ultimately concluded that the church is what the church says she is, that the
00:41:27.140 Catholic church is real. And so I reverted to that. That was a process that took me like
00:41:30.520 five or six years. No, I'm sorry. It took me, that was from the moment I started to think about it
00:41:37.620 again. Really, it was a process that took me about 10 years if you start at age 13. So probably the
00:41:42.920 faster way is to just pray to God and ask for grace. But if you want the process that did work for me
00:41:47.620 and is similar to the situation that you're in, that's what I would do. Okay, we've got a lot of
00:41:53.200 written mailbag. Got to get to it. Some really, really good spicy questions this week. And then
00:41:58.080 it's Fake Headline Friday. I need your help to analyze the headlines here and figure out the fake
