00:00:37.680 So yesterday we pointed out that Joe Biden is a crook. 0.98

00:00:40.880 Today, the hits just keep on coming as Biden's White House is revealed as having abused its power to pressure Facebook to censor us. 0.98

00:00:54.140 Little old me.

00:00:54.980 Can you imagine that? Little old me, whom everybody loves so.

00:00:57.900 The White House, we know the White House doesn't like us.

00:01:00.940 We know that Facebook doesn't like us.

00:01:02.480 We had a sense that Facebook was censoring and suppressing us.

00:01:05.980 Now we have the proof.

00:01:06.840 This is care of Jim Jordan, Facebook files.

00:01:09.820 This is a note from Rob Flaherty, who was Biden's White House digital director, to Facebook.

00:01:16.680 From Rob, if you were to change the algorithm so that people were more likely to see the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, any authoritative news source over DAILYWIRE, Tommy Lauren, polarizing people.

00:01:31.480 You wouldn't have a mechanism to check the material impact.

00:01:34.880 We want New York Times, we want Wall Street Journal, we want anything other than DAILYWIRE.

00:01:40.040 We hate DAILYWIRE, suppress DAILYWIRE.

00:01:41.520 This is as clear a violation of the First Amendment as it gets.

00:01:47.220 You know me, I'm very cautious about saying such and such is a First Amendment violation.

00:01:52.380 The First Amendment has all sorts of constraints put on it.

00:01:54.840 But when the White House is pressuring the company that controls the public square to censor us, specific people, that's it.

00:02:05.040 Even if it's not the government itself doing the censoring, even if the government just uses a private company, semi-private company as an instrument, that is a First Amendment violation.

00:02:13.080 This is not some low-level staffer.

00:02:14.500 They're not going to be able to kick this away and say, look over there, nothing to see here, move along, move along.

00:02:19.660 This guy, Rob Flaherty, was a senior staffer in the White House, led the Office of Digital Strategy.

00:02:28.260 When he left the White House not that long ago, June 16th of this year, Biden sent out a statement, a presidential statement, on how important this guy is.

00:02:35.600 He says, since day one, Rob has helped us meet people where they are, keeping a constant eye toward reaching new and different communities and censoring people that he doesn't like.

00:02:44.480 Under Rob's leadership, we built the largest office of digital strategy in history with it, blah, blah, blah.

00:02:49.940 I'm grateful to Rob for his service over the last three years.

00:02:53.720 The integration of the digital team into our senior White House leadership shows just how important Rob's team is for our daily engagement with the American people and suppressing conservatives' daily engagement for the American people.

00:03:03.400 This is a top advisor to the president.

00:03:06.680 Did Joe Biden not know about this?

00:03:08.700 Was this not a strategy that was agreed upon by the White House senior staff?

00:03:13.660 Was this some rogue staff?

00:03:14.700 I don't think so.

00:03:15.820 I don't think so.

00:03:16.660 So what does this do?

00:03:17.940 I'm sick and tired of discovering things and discovering how unfair the system is and how there's two tiers of justice and then nothing happens.

00:03:25.580 That drives me crazy.

00:03:26.880 Republicans are really, really good at pointing out injustices and really, really bad at doing anything to fix them.

00:03:32.360 So I'm not pointing this out to suggest that anything is actually going to be done or this guy Rob or Joe Biden or anyone's going to be held to account for it.

00:03:38.840 But the reason that this strikes me, other than explaining why our Facebook views dropped off pretty significantly all at once when Biden took office, the reason this sticks out at me is it raises an important question.

00:03:50.640 The question is not why are they censoring conservatives?

00:03:52.700 We know that because they hate us and they're lawless.

00:03:55.360 The question is not why are they breaking the law?

00:03:57.360 We know they don't really have any respect for the law and they think that the law is nothing but the caprices and arbitrary whims of however they're feeling that day.

00:04:05.760 That's how they operate.

00:04:07.000 Nothing new there.

00:04:08.020 The real question is why is this coming up now?

00:04:12.120 Why is the liberal establishment allowing this information to seep out now?

00:04:17.200 And the next question is, if one concludes that it's because the liberal establishment is slowly giving up on Joe Biden, they think Joe Biden is going to lose to the likely nominee, Donald Trump, they think that maybe they could begin to replace him.

00:04:31.060 Then the question is, who replaces Biden if he's too weakened to run?

00:04:34.840 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:04:35.460 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:04:42.120 Welcome back to the show.

00:04:45.620 Speaking of authoritative sources, a porn lady has gone viral for giving advice on marriage and why it's very important for young women to divorce their husbands. 0.80

00:04:55.780 We'll get to that brilliant advice from a porn lady. 1.00

00:05:00.040 First, though, more people trying to censor us and me specifically, but us broadly.

00:05:06.980 I had quite a semester this past semester.

00:05:09.480 You know I speak on a lot of college campuses every semester, and this year we had two really big ones.

00:05:15.080 One was at Pittsburgh where Antifa tried to blow me up.

00:05:18.060 The other one was at the University of Buffalo.

00:05:20.320 And the University of Buffalo was an earlier speech where the university, SUNY, the entire State University of New York school system, tried to shut this thing down.

00:05:28.880 Politicians tried to shut this thing down. 0.99

00:05:30.760 It didn't work.

00:05:31.440 The First Amendment demanded that I be permitted to speak and the University of Buffalo students be allowed to invite me.

00:05:36.960 But then after that, the school said, okay, Young America's Foundation, you Yaffers on campus, your club is gone. 0.98

00:05:45.800 You don't get a club anymore because you had the audacity to invite Michael Knowles, and he's a meanie, and he doesn't agree with our crazy ideologies.

00:05:53.580 So your club is gone.

00:05:55.380 Okay, hope it was a good event.

00:05:56.900 Bye.

00:05:57.200 No more conservative representation on campus.

00:05:59.140 So what happened?

00:05:59.700 Yaff sued.

00:06:00.700 Said this is a First Amendment violation.

00:06:02.400 This is completely unfair and unjust.

00:06:05.740 And looked like things were going pretty well for the conservatives until University of Buffalo tries another way to get rid of the club. 0.94

00:06:14.600 The University of Buffalo is now requiring that when clubs sign up to become officially university-registered clubs,

00:06:22.180 that they surrender their right to file a lawsuit against the university in order to maintain club status.

00:06:29.740 These guys, they just don't give up.

00:06:32.400 They're saying, okay, you're not allowed to be a conservative at Buffalo.

00:06:35.120 We're going to get rid of that club.

00:06:36.280 So you can't do that.

00:06:37.160 We're going to sue you.

00:06:37.920 Okay, we're going to pass a new rule.

00:06:38.860 You can't ever sue us.

00:06:40.600 You can't.

00:06:41.580 Okay, and we're going to pass a new rule.

00:06:43.040 You're never allowed to question the rule that says that you can't sue us when we kick you on campus for being conservative.

00:06:48.060 We're going to pass another rule about a rule about a rule about a rule that says that if you've ever owned a MAGA hat in your life, you have to be in prison.

00:06:54.820 That's, well, we'll get to that in a second.

00:06:58.040 They never give up.

00:07:00.440 They never give up.

00:07:01.420 But the libs, even if we win in court, even if we pass a law, even if we conservatives win an election, they will never give up.

00:07:08.700 I suppose that's the way politics is.

00:07:10.720 You're never totally lost in politics because you've never totally won anything.

00:07:13.780 But the libs are particularly persistent here.

00:07:17.600 They won't accept their losses, lick their wounds, and move on.

00:07:21.760 They're just going to keep pummeling ahead.

00:07:23.960 They will not allow this group back on campus, no matter what some judge says, no matter what the school rules say, no matter what the First Amendment says.

00:07:31.180 They won't give up.

00:07:34.980 They're shameless about it. 0.95

00:07:37.080 You want to see how shameless they are? 0.96

00:07:38.380 Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, one of the least reputable people in the Biden administration, which is really saying something.

00:07:46.480 He just comes out with a straight face and complains about nations around the world who are holding political prisoners.

00:07:55.040 The State Department's latest human rights report contains evidence of more than 65 countries holding political prisoners.

00:08:02.700 So many of these individuals are their country's best and brightest hope for a future that's marked by democracy and respect for human rights.

00:08:10.220 Through imprisoning political prisoners, autocrats are quashing democratic hopes and ambitions.

00:08:15.000 That's why it's important that all countries stand firmly against the detention of political prisoners, no matter where they are held, and work together to free them.

00:08:25.840 Let me share a few ways that we do this and urge other countries to join us.

00:08:31.020 We call for the release of political prisoners.

00:08:33.360 We meet with their families and colleagues.

00:08:35.320 We monitor trials.

00:08:36.520 We publish reports to share information about individuals and their cases.

00:08:40.420 Can you stop it right there?

00:08:42.000 And you know what else they do?

00:08:44.160 They lock up Midwestern grannies who had the audacity to go into the Capitol to express their support of Donald Trump. 1.00

00:08:49.380 That's how we, that's how we in the United States deal with this terrible issue of autocrats imprisoning political dissidents.

00:08:59.000 We raise awareness.

00:09:00.960 And we give speeches.

00:09:02.500 And we call out those 65 countries around the world.

00:09:05.440 And we lock up the horn hat guy for 41 months in solitary confinement because he took some pictures and got a private tour of the Capitol.

00:09:12.560 Wait, what?

00:09:13.800 Wait, hold on.

00:09:14.520 How many?

00:09:15.300 So it's some Midwestern grannies. 1.00

00:09:16.980 There's that nice Florida guy.

00:09:17.800 Remember, he was holding Nancy Pelosi's lector.

00:09:19.380 And yeah, they threw him in the can.

00:09:20.540 The horn hat guy who was welcomed around the Capitol, escorted by police.

00:09:25.640 So they threw him in the can for 41 months.

00:09:27.940 Why?

00:09:28.420 What crime did they commit?

00:09:30.360 Did they burn the country down like the BLMers? 1.00

00:09:32.380 No.

00:09:32.580 If they had done that, they would have gotten completely off the hook, not even a slap on the wrist.

00:09:36.940 Did they loot and riot and kill people like the BLM people? 1.00

00:09:42.240 No.

00:09:43.360 No, they didn't do that.

00:09:44.440 They just supported Donald Trump, for which people are still today being indicted and prosecuted.

00:09:50.920 People in Michigan, just ordinary Republicans who had questions about the 2020 election, being brought up on charges, looking at a very long time in prison.

00:10:02.320 That's how we deal with this awful scourge of political prisoners.

00:10:07.180 No one ever sees himself as the bad guy, which we'll talk about in a second.

00:11:19.160 The United States has political prisoners.

00:11:23.180 I guess basically every country in the history of the world has had some political prisoners at some point.

00:11:30.200 But they never seem to be all that honest about it.

00:11:33.660 If you go to Russia today, there's a political prisoner, the leader of the opposition.

00:11:38.840 What is that guy's name?

00:11:40.040 I forget.

00:11:40.360 He's vaguely pro-Western.

00:11:43.400 He's been locked up for quite some time.

00:11:45.480 He's a political prisoner because he's the leader of the opposition against Vladimir Putin.

00:11:52.000 Navalny.

00:11:52.500 Alexei Navalny.

00:11:53.680 But if you asked a Russian who supports the regime, if you asked a member of the regime,

00:11:58.720 why is Alexei Navalny in prison?

00:12:00.180 They'd tell you why.

00:12:01.020 Because I'm sure he committed some crime.

00:12:02.460 You can indict a ham sandwich.

00:12:03.440 If you ask a liberal today, or even some sadly naive conservatives,

00:12:08.980 does the United States have political prisoners?

00:12:10.920 They'll tell you no.

00:12:12.000 No, absolutely not. 0.95

00:12:12.800 That's something that awful, terrible dictator autocrats do. 1.00

00:12:15.280 Say, okay, well, what about the January 6th?

00:12:17.500 They'll say, oh, no, they were insurrectionists.

00:12:21.600 You point out, well, they were never charged with an insurrection.

00:12:24.760 Oh, yeah, well, they killed people.

00:12:26.260 You point out, no, they never, they didn't kill anybody.

00:12:28.020 The only person who was killed in the political violence that day was one of the Trump supporters,

00:12:31.180 killed by a trigger-happy cop.

00:12:32.300 They'll say, well, I'm sure they did something, and I'm sure they did do something.

00:12:36.260 They were charged with trespassing.

00:12:38.040 They were charged with disrupting an official proceeding.

00:12:41.040 There were crimes they were charged with.

00:12:42.940 That doesn't mean they're not political prisoners.

00:12:45.360 To have the Biden administration, which has clamped down on political dissonance and political

00:12:49.420 opposition in an unprecedented way in the United States,

00:12:54.860 I was going to say in a way that we haven't seen since Woodrow Wilson,

00:12:57.740 in a way that we haven't seen since Eugene Debs, the socialist candidate for president,

00:13:01.200 was imprisoned.

00:13:01.780 But it's worse than that.

00:13:03.320 We've never seen a former president imprisoned while he is the leader of the opposition,

00:13:07.920 while he's the chief political rival to the sitting president.

00:13:09.720 We've never seen anything like that.

00:13:12.100 Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself, guys.

00:13:15.600 Absolutely no credibility whatsoever to talk about political prisoners. 0.97

00:13:19.600 Now, speaking of bad guys, there's a porn lady. 1.00

00:13:23.900 Her name is Mia Khalifa. 0.98

00:13:26.220 Mia Khalifa is a political activist, but she's also a porn lady. 1.00

00:13:30.520 I don't know if she still does porn or if she only previously did porn, 0.92

00:13:33.960 but she has all sorts of opinions that are not very good.

00:13:38.940 And she spouts off on politics sometimes.

00:13:42.620 And she's just given her worst opinion yet.

00:13:46.220 This is her opinion on divorce.

00:13:47.580 Oh, we're comparing stats.

00:13:49.940 Baby girl doesn't know that I am Tom Brady at this game.

00:13:53.380 Married at 18, divorced at 21.

00:13:55.680 Second marriage.

00:13:56.860 Married at 25, divorced at 28.

00:13:59.420 Third engagement.

00:14:00.640 Engaged at 29, ended it at 30, but I kept the ring.

00:14:05.640 I'm still keeping Tom Brady on his toes.

00:14:09.720 We should not be afraid to leave these men.

00:14:13.480 We are not stuck with these people.

00:14:15.540 Marriage is not a sanctimonious thing.

00:14:19.700 It is paperwork.

00:14:21.280 It's something, it's a commitment you make to someone.

00:14:24.880 But if you feel like you're not getting anything from that commitment and you're trying,

00:14:30.860 you got to go.

00:14:31.780 You got to go.

00:14:32.980 You have to go.

00:14:34.080 I know it's difficult to fill out paperwork and to make appointments and to do all of these 0.97

00:14:39.720 things, but this is your f***ing life. 0.98

00:14:41.940 Do you want to be stuck with someone? 0.99

00:14:45.120 Period.

00:14:46.880 So not great advice. 0.97

00:14:49.780 Generally speaking, probably not the wisest thing to take advice on marriage from a prostitute 1.00

00:14:57.720 or even forget the prostitute for a second.

00:15:00.100 Probably best not to take advice on marriage from people who have had multiple failed marriages.

00:15:06.040 I'm not knocking her.

00:15:09.580 We live in a messed up culture.

00:15:10.940 She's made all sorts of bad decisions, but we also live in a very pornographic culture 1.00

00:15:14.000 that just seduces women into this kind of a lifestyle. 1.00

00:15:17.580 You see this especially with the democratization of porn through things like OnlyFans.

00:15:21.480 You see it in the Andrew Tate case.

00:15:23.400 This guy, Andrew Tate, whatever charges he was brought up on in Romania, I don't even really

00:15:27.580 care. 0.97

00:15:28.920 He's a pimp. 1.00

00:15:29.800 He's a pimp who brags on camera about seducing women, which in a wiser, older age, seduction 0.99

00:15:36.040 was considered not only not less severe than a physical violation like rape, but actually 0.98

00:15:42.580 more egregious.

00:15:43.660 Because while rape violates the body, rather egregious, seduction violates the soul and the

00:15:50.680 intellect.

00:15:51.360 So now we just think that's all fine because our only moral criterion for political judgment

00:15:55.700 is consent.

00:15:57.720 But no, we live in a culture that seduces these young girls into all of this nonsense in the 1.00

00:16:02.940 way that we see particularly with Andrew Tate, who says, oh yeah, I'd trick these girls into 0.94

00:16:06.260 falling in love with me, and then I'd pimp them out and have them do tricks so I'd make

00:16:09.900 a lot of money, and then I'd rip them off and put them in a house in Romania and have 0.98

00:16:13.140 film videos of themselves.

00:16:15.180 And he's bragging about it.

00:16:16.460 At least you see that kind of transparency.

00:16:18.560 To paraphrase Norm Macdonald, the more I hear about this Andrew Tate fellow, the more 1.00

00:16:22.240 he sounds like a real jerk. 1.00

00:16:23.560 But our whole culture does that. 1.00

00:16:25.420 It's not just Andrew Tate.

00:16:26.200 He's just one guy. 0.97

00:16:27.020 It's the whole culture seduces women into porn. 1.00

00:16:31.480 And so I'm really not knocking this gal, Mia Khalifa.

00:16:34.480 But this is a weird thing in society today where we take advice from people who have no credibility

00:16:46.340 on these issues.

00:16:47.840 We've just lost our sense of authority.

00:16:52.100 Even you see this in the reflexive response against authoritarianism on the left and on

00:16:58.180 the right.

00:16:58.900 We just hate all authority.

00:17:01.500 And so we just, we recoil into our own individualism.

00:17:05.680 We exalt individual conscience and judgment above all things.

00:17:09.840 This is a product of the Enlightenment and the liberal age.

00:17:12.400 It's a product that we see on the left.

00:17:14.200 It's a product that we see on the right.

00:17:15.460 But it's wrong.

00:17:16.360 There are legitimate authorities to whom we should listen.

00:17:22.920 Our parents, wise teachers, the traditions that have endured throughout the ages, the moral

00:17:29.320 law, the natural law, the church.

00:17:36.340 There is authority that we ought to recognize.

00:17:39.740 Authority is not a bad thing.

00:17:41.000 I know the A word is very nasty in our modern culture, but authority is not a bad thing. 0.81

00:17:45.200 And you can't escape it.

00:17:46.760 You're going to make a judgment somewhere.

00:17:48.780 So either you're going to follow good, wise, just, prudent, legitimate authorities, or you're

00:17:53.540 going to listen to your own extremely imperfect moral reasoning with your very imperfect faculties

00:18:01.320 of reason.

00:18:02.360 Or you're going to listen to people who have no credibility at all, like porn people on marriage

00:18:08.460 and political crooks like the Bidens on corruption and our sacred democracy and our

00:18:15.140 justice system, and so on and so forth.

00:18:17.800 You're not going to fix this problem at the very basic political level of marriage or at

00:18:21.980 the macro political level of the state by neglecting, by denying legitimate authority.

00:18:30.060 Now, speaking of people who don't have authority on lots of things, Neil deGrasse Tyson, the

00:18:34.920 popular edutainment scientist guy.

00:18:39.280 He has just come out in support of a thing that I'm not allowed to talk about on YouTube.

00:18:47.060 Transgenderism. 0.67

00:18:48.260 My point is, apparently, the XXXY chromosomes are insufficient.

00:18:55.120 Because when we wake up in the morning, we exaggerate whatever feature we want to portray the gender

00:19:06.680 of our choice.

00:19:09.660 Either the one you're assigned, the one you choose to be, whatever it is.

00:19:13.800 And so now, here, so, so now just to tie a bow on this, I say to you, somewhere I read, somewhere,

00:19:23.360 I think I read that the United States was a land where we have the pursuit of happiness.

00:19:30.260 Yes.

00:19:31.020 Suppose no matter my chromosomes, today I feel 80% female, 20% male.

00:19:36.940 I'm going to, I'm going to put on makeup.

00:19:38.640 I'm going to do that.

00:19:39.180 Tomorrow, I might feel 80% male.

00:19:41.760 I'll remove the makeup, and I'll wear a muscle shirt.

00:19:45.640 Why do you care?

00:19:48.640 What, what, what, what business is it of yours to require that I fulfill your inability to think

00:19:58.920 of gender on a spectrum?

00:20:00.960 I don't follow Neil deGrasse Tyson.

00:20:03.320 Maybe he has coherent thoughts on science.

00:20:08.380 Maybe, I don't know.

00:20:09.500 I just can't speak to it.

00:20:10.440 Maybe he does.

00:20:10.980 Maybe he doesn't.

00:20:12.080 But this guy sounds like a high school sophomore spouting off on politics for the first time

00:20:18.640 because he just, he, he just watched his first political news program ever.

00:20:23.200 This is a guy who has not spent five seconds of serious thought on any political matter.

00:20:30.300 And this is why he just moves from, from incoherent thought to disconnected, incoherent thoughts.

00:20:35.320 You know, we wake up in the morning, and maybe you feel 80% male and 20% female, you know,

00:20:40.940 and that's what, do you do that?

00:20:42.620 I don't do that.

00:20:43.400 And then you just, so what we do, man, you know, is we just like exaggerate one of those

00:20:47.800 things or another.

00:20:49.480 Your gender, which isn't real, but it's, but it's real. 0.82

00:20:51.740 It's in your, you're born, you're assigned it.

00:20:54.500 And so you exaggerate.

00:20:56.160 I don't, I don't, I, I like to think I fulfill my duty, which is implied by my nature.

00:21:01.520 I try to do that.

00:21:02.300 Sometimes I fail at my duty, but I don't, I don't accept.

00:21:05.320 What are you talking about?

00:21:07.660 Exaggerating.

00:21:08.240 And then, and why do you care?

00:21:10.520 Why do you care?

00:21:11.320 Hold on, wait, I thought we were having a conversation about the nature of sex and gender.

00:21:14.100 No, man, why do you, what's it to you, man?

00:21:16.480 We have a pursuit of happiness.

00:21:17.720 Well, that's actually not what happiness means in that particular political context.

00:21:21.280 It doesn't mean just do whatever you want.

00:21:22.420 No, man, what do you care?

00:21:23.460 Well, because I'm a citizen and I live in a society.

00:21:25.600 Well, no, and you know, man, it's like we just,

00:21:29.400 sometimes this is described as people who have credibility and authority in one realm,

00:21:37.520 creeping out of their realm of authority and credibility and speaking to things that they

00:21:40.880 don't know anything about.

00:21:41.920 Often Noam Chomsky is accused of this because he's a really interesting linguist,

00:21:46.180 an important linguist, but then he spouts off on the Vietnam War.

00:21:48.460 He doesn't know anything about Vietnam and people say, oh, you're, you're reaching too far.

00:21:51.680 You see this especially with someone like a Sam Harris who maybe possesses some kind of

00:21:55.640 expertise, but he spouts off on politics.

00:21:57.400 He doesn't know anything about it.

00:21:58.820 I think the problem goes deeper than that.

00:22:01.300 My issue is not that the scientists aren't sticking to science.

00:22:04.160 My, my issue is with science, capital S entirely.

00:22:09.000 I think the, the worldview that has come to predominate since the scientific revolution

00:22:12.960 was always going to end in this kind of incoherent nonsense,

00:22:16.920 even from otherwise potentially intelligent people.

00:22:19.960 It's not a good look.

00:22:21.000 When you want to look good, you got to check out GenuCell.

00:23:30.540 My favorite comment yesterday is from Robert Paul Gass who says,

00:23:32.980 that Sikh guy who dished out that beating is going to get a lasting lesson. 0.97

00:23:37.660 There's no way the libs are just going to let a video of that being done to a black man go viral 0.94

00:23:42.340 without punishment for the vigilante. 0.68

00:23:45.180 Maybe.

00:23:46.380 Certainly if the Sikh guy in the shop had been beating the robber with a stick, 0.89

00:23:51.840 if he had been a white man, he would already be behind bars. 0.89

00:23:55.120 He'd probably be at Guantanamo Bay being tortured. 0.93

00:23:57.060 But because he is, I think, sufficiently brown, sufficiently an immigrant, 1.00

00:24:03.020 sufficiently religiously diverse, he's got the turban on,

00:24:05.940 I think he might get away with it.

00:24:08.120 I haven't checked the hierarchy of race and religion recently,

00:24:10.980 but I think he might get away with it.

00:24:13.740 It was a very satisfying video in that we keep seeing these robbers come in

00:24:17.360 and just commit all sorts of injustices and they get away with it.

00:24:19.580 You heard the guy in the video, he said,

00:24:20.760 oh, you've got to wait until the cops get here or you're not allowed to do anything.

00:24:23.560 And that would have worked on Americans who know how the liberal establishment works. 0.99

00:24:28.920 But this immigrant guy, this Sikh guy said,

00:24:30.520 no, I think I'm going to just pick up a stick and just start caning him

00:24:33.280 until he gives me my property back.

00:24:34.880 Really, really smart stuff.

00:24:38.000 When a Neil deGrasse Tyson or any of these people who say that they're very scientific,

00:24:43.020 when they go off and blabber about nonsense,

00:24:46.780 that's not just a flaw in their character.

00:24:52.140 It's not just an expression of pride.

00:24:53.700 It's not just them going beyond their scientific expertise.

00:24:57.480 It's a problem of science because the scientific worldview says that

00:25:02.880 all we can ever really know is physical.

00:25:07.360 And it implies that reality itself is fundamentally physical.

00:25:12.980 Maybe there are other aspects of reality, illusory or otherwise,

00:25:16.780 but fundamentally what reality is about is atoms and molecules and physical stuff.

00:25:24.040 And that isn't true.

00:25:25.380 That's false.

00:25:26.580 And that view, the scientific revolution worldview,

00:25:30.200 pushes out all other more important modes of thinking.

00:25:34.920 And it's why even the really smart people in the lab coats

00:25:38.600 are pretty much always wrong about everything.

00:25:41.660 They might be right about a few particular things sometimes.

00:25:46.620 But ultimately, in the big questions, they're wrong.

00:25:49.840 You see this throughout the academy.

00:25:51.500 On exactly the same issue, Richard Dawkins,

00:25:55.340 who's, I guess, a sharp guy within his field of biology, maybe.

00:26:00.140 I don't know.

00:26:00.640 I've never been a huge Dawkins fan.

00:26:02.740 Dawkins, though, he always likes to spout off on religion,

00:26:04.760 and he never sounds all that smart doing it,

00:26:07.720 even though he's an Oxford Don type of fellow.

00:26:09.580 But now he's spatting off on transgenderism

00:26:12.460 in the opposite way that Neil deGrasse Tyson is.

00:26:16.380 Sex really is binary.

00:26:18.200 There's no question about it.

00:26:19.140 You're either male or female. 0.65

00:26:20.760 And it's absolutely clear.

00:26:22.480 You can do it on gamete size.

00:26:23.740 You can do it on chromosomes.

00:26:25.500 To me, as a biologist, distinctly weird.

00:26:28.160 People can simply declare, 0.99

00:26:30.480 I am a woman, though I have a penis. 0.99

00:26:33.380 Helen, what do you think lies behind this odd distortion of reality? 0.99

00:26:39.580 So I get a kick out of Richard Dawkins,

00:26:42.060 because though he's wrong about a lot of things,

00:26:44.040 and he's a hardcore atheist,

00:26:45.400 he's so polite and genial,

00:26:47.480 and certainly sounds much more intelligent and educated

00:26:50.720 than someone like a Neil deGrasse Tyson.

00:26:52.940 But his point is wrong, too.

00:26:55.080 His point when he says,

00:26:55.840 well, you know, biology is perfectly clear.

00:26:58.360 There are men and there are women.

00:27:00.300 There are two sexes. 0.58

00:27:01.740 It's biology is perfectly clear.

00:27:03.800 No, it isn't.

00:27:04.560 That's also wrong,

00:27:05.640 because that's also a worldview

00:27:09.020 that says that reality is fundamentally physical.

00:27:11.340 He's saying,

00:27:11.660 if we want to get to the truth of the matter of gender and sex,

00:27:13.940 we need to consult biology.

00:27:15.380 That is, we need to consult the physical world.

00:27:17.300 Biology isn't clear about anything,

00:27:18.740 because biology alone doesn't have any meaning.

00:27:21.540 If we're only consulting biology,

00:27:23.840 then male and female don't really,

00:27:26.240 nothing means anything,

00:27:27.220 because we're just talking about physical stuff.

00:27:28.900 Meaning goes deeper than biology.

00:27:34.360 When you only talk about biology,

00:27:35.820 this is how the libs and the transgenderists can say,

00:27:37.920 well, what about someone with XXY chromosomes?

00:27:40.240 What about someone with Turner syndrome

00:27:41.380 only has a 1X chromosome?

00:27:42.700 What about people with genital anomalies?

00:27:44.460 What about people with this, this, this?

00:27:45.820 And if you're only examining the physical body,

00:27:48.520 things start to get a little ambiguous and confusing.

00:27:50.880 You've got to get metaphysical.

00:27:53.140 You've got to consult philosophy.

00:27:54.780 Science is the handmaiden of philosophy,

00:27:55.960 and you've got to consult theology.

00:27:57.160 Philosophy is the handmaiden of theology.

00:28:01.860 Like, at least with Neil deGrasse Tyson, 0.99

00:28:04.060 half the country stupidly believes in what he's saying. 0.96

00:28:07.120 With Richard Dawkins, nobody believes what he's saying, 0.99

00:28:09.520 because he's a liberal of an earlier generation.

00:28:13.180 So the libs have already moved on,

00:28:14.460 and they believe all sorts of crazy things

00:28:15.800 about transgenderism.

00:28:17.460 And the conservatives don't agree with him,

00:28:20.480 because his worldview is fundamentally atheistic

00:28:22.580 and materialistic and wrong.

00:28:24.740 You can't, it's not just that these guys

00:28:28.900 are stepping out of their comfort zone.

00:28:31.420 Their whole worldview is wrong.

00:28:32.860 They just don't have authority.

00:28:35.280 They've got about as much authority on these matters

00:28:37.040 as Mia Khalifa does on marriage.

00:28:40.380 Speaking of a lack of consensus,

00:28:43.240 there is a report out from New York Times Siena College

00:28:45.900 that it might be the most shocking poll

00:28:48.900 in presidential politics that we've seen yet.

00:28:50.780 It's not about Trump or DeSantis or Vivek or even Biden.

00:28:54.200 It's about Kamala.

00:28:56.380 The strongest argument against impeaching Joe Biden

00:28:59.080 has always been Kamala Harris.

00:29:02.340 Kamala Harris, according to this poll,

00:29:05.420 is more popular among Democrats than Joe Biden.

00:29:08.480 According to this New York Times Siena College poll,

00:29:11.900 26% say they would be enthusiastic about Kamala Harris

00:29:16.280 at the top of the presidential ticket,

00:29:17.960 compared with only 20% who say they're enthusiastic

00:29:21.240 about Biden at the top of the presidential ticket.

00:29:24.060 So this, again, ties in with what we're talking about

00:29:25.480 right at the top of the show.

00:29:27.140 More and more evidence, not of Biden being a crook.

00:29:30.140 We've known that all the time. 0.88

00:29:31.320 Not of Joe Biden being a marionette held up by strings

00:29:35.080 who doesn't know what day it is.

00:29:36.460 We've known that the whole time.

00:29:37.680 It's evidence of the Democrats souring on Biden.

00:29:40.680 When you get a Maureen Dowd column in the New York Times

00:29:42.980 saying Joe Biden's a mean guy, he's cruel, he's heartless,

00:29:45.480 because he won't acknowledge his grandkid.

00:29:46.820 That's a sign of that.

00:29:48.100 When you get leaks from the White House,

00:29:50.620 damaging leaks from the White House, that's a sign of it.

00:29:52.740 When you get these polls saying,

00:29:54.340 oh, Kamala, she's actually, she's more popular. 1.00

00:29:57.500 Democrats are more enthusiastic about her.

00:29:58.880 Now, I don't believe this poll for a second, by the way.

00:30:00.780 Kamala Harris is a singularly bad retail politician. 1.00

00:30:04.740 The only reason that Democrats might think

00:30:08.260 that they're enthusiastic about her right now

00:30:09.640 is because they basically never see her.

00:30:11.480 Kamala Harris pops up once a month.

00:30:13.140 She gives some babbling, incoherent speech,

00:30:16.120 makes Neil deGrasse Tyson look like he's reciting Shakespeare.

00:30:19.180 And she cackles a little bit.

00:30:22.060 And then she goes back into the shadows.

00:30:24.620 This is just like Hillary Clinton, 1.00

00:30:26.420 who had really good poll numbers

00:30:28.420 until she hit the campaign trail 0.99

00:30:29.740 and people remember that they don't like her.

00:30:31.960 This is true of all sorts of politicians

00:30:34.500 who, when they're out of the public eye,

00:30:36.460 their approval numbers increase.

00:30:37.720 But the minute you see them again,

00:30:38.740 you forget that you don't like them.

00:30:41.140 Complete BS.

00:30:42.040 Democrats might have soured on Joe.

00:30:43.400 They might think they've got a better shot.

00:30:44.660 But in reality, Kamala Harris has a way lower chance 0.99

00:30:48.280 of being elected president than Joe Biden does in 2024.

00:30:51.680 Speaking of unpleasant women, 1.00

00:30:53.160 the gal who's playing Snow White,

00:30:55.040 or as I now call her, Sand Taupe, Sand Beige,

00:30:58.700 the Snow White who is upending

00:31:01.460 all the traditions of Snow White,

00:31:03.420 she's got another viral hit.

00:31:06.380 If I'm going to stand there 18 hours

00:31:09.060 in a dress of an iconic Disney princess,

00:31:11.380 I deserve to be paid for every hour

00:31:13.380 that it is streamed online.

00:31:15.040 So she's out there protesting with SAG-AFTRA,

00:31:18.100 the actors' union,

00:31:19.260 and she's saying,

00:31:21.100 you know, I need a better contract.

00:31:23.260 Why do I need a better contract?

00:31:24.300 Because I'm working this terrible hard job

00:31:26.020 and I'm not being paid enough for it.

00:31:27.380 Yeah, I'm the star in the new Snow White movie.

00:31:29.340 But if I've got to go out there 1.00

00:31:30.920 and wear that stupid dress, 1.00

00:31:34.020 I got to go wear that dress all day long, 1.00

00:31:36.000 I got to be on set.

00:31:37.520 And I got to dress up and play pretend.

00:31:39.380 And I have to be a little girl's dream.

00:31:41.600 And I need to make believe for my job.

00:31:44.740 And I need to receive adulation and praise

00:31:47.040 and lots of money.

00:31:48.540 If I have to do that, 0.98

00:31:50.120 damn it, I'm going to make even more money. 0.98

00:31:52.120 Boy, my life is so hard. 1.00

00:31:55.280 A person with that attitude

00:31:57.680 is incapable of happiness.

00:32:00.860 Neil deGrasse Tyson

00:32:01.760 misinterprets the meaning of the phrase

00:32:03.660 Pursuit of Happiness.

00:32:04.640 That gal, she should just give it up. 1.00

00:32:06.540 If that's going to be her attitude,

00:32:07.740 she will never achieve happiness.

00:32:10.380 Some people can be perfectly happy

00:32:14.020 in even the worst of circumstances.

00:32:15.900 And other people

00:32:16.660 can not be happy even in the best.

00:32:20.240 Think about what she's saying.

00:32:21.680 She's not saying,

00:32:22.360 I got to go, you know,

00:32:23.500 to the coal mines all day long.

00:32:25.320 She has what is considered 0.74

00:32:26.820 the most glamorous, fun, 0.93

00:32:28.640 silly, light job in the world. 0.87

00:32:30.940 She's not only in entertainment, 0.99

00:32:32.540 she's an actress. 1.00

00:32:33.400 She's not only an actress,

00:32:34.240 she's a successful actress.

00:32:35.820 She's not only a successful actress,

00:32:37.400 she's playing a Disney princess,

00:32:40.380 the most famous one of all.

00:32:43.580 And she's complaining about it.

00:32:46.940 We all do this from time to time.

00:32:48.860 Even I do it.

00:32:50.180 Where we just say,

00:32:50.840 oh, I'm just so frustrated.

00:32:53.440 I'm really angry.

00:32:54.420 Oh, my job is so hard.

00:32:55.200 You need a gut check.

00:32:58.260 You need to take that

00:32:59.400 as a warning.

00:33:01.620 Because this woman,

00:33:02.740 every time she opens her mouth,

00:33:03.760 she says something more offensive

00:33:04.740 than the last time.

00:33:06.900 But we all fall into that sometimes.

00:33:09.500 Oh, I got to take my kids

00:33:10.840 to the park today.

00:33:11.600 I hate living this wonderful dream

00:33:14.580 and spending time

00:33:15.640 with my precious children.

00:33:16.620 Oh, I've got to go do my job

00:33:18.600 that pays me well

00:33:19.300 and is generally pleasant.

00:33:20.320 I like my co-workers.

00:33:21.360 And oh, man,

00:33:21.980 I hate having to do that.

00:33:23.280 I don't fall into that.

00:33:24.440 It's very easy.

00:33:25.120 People can complain about anything,

00:33:26.340 especially on movie sets.

00:33:27.320 That's one of the weird things

00:33:28.480 about movie sets.

00:33:28.980 People complain all the time.

00:33:30.400 And so no surprise

00:33:31.220 that SAG-AFTRA is whining about it. 0.98

00:33:33.000 Do not be like that woman. 0.86

00:33:35.380 Despite the lackluster economy,

00:33:36.620 the Daily Wire is thriving.

00:33:38.360 Not only that,

00:34:23.320 we've arrived at my favorite

00:34:24.480 time of the week

00:34:25.160 when I get to hear from you

00:34:26.440 in the mailbag.

00:34:27.340 This mailbag is sponsored

00:34:28.100 by PureTalk

00:34:28.620 at puretalk.com slash Knowles

00:34:30.100 to get 55.0% off your first month.

00:34:32.960 Take it away.

00:34:33.320 Hey, Michael.

00:34:36.560 I need some help

00:34:37.780 making a life decision.

00:34:40.420 I'm 22,

00:34:41.320 and I'm originally

00:34:41.780 from Western New York,

00:34:43.200 but I dropped out of college

00:34:44.340 one and a half years ago

00:34:45.400 to move to Montana.

00:34:47.220 I've always had a desire

00:34:48.680 to start a business,

00:34:50.040 and my best friend and I

00:34:51.160 since high school

00:34:51.760 have been talking about it.

00:34:53.580 We now finally have the time,

00:34:55.160 ability, and money

00:34:56.160 to get something off the ground,

00:34:57.800 but it would obviously require

00:34:59.220 me leaving a good-paying job

00:35:00.600 and stable life in Montana.

00:35:02.180 I was already supposed

00:35:03.660 to move back last month,

00:35:04.940 but something in my gut

00:35:05.860 told me to stay here.

00:35:07.200 I can't stop second-guessing

00:35:08.380 any decision I make,

00:35:09.480 and it's led to a world

00:35:10.520 of confusion.

00:35:12.200 Did I make the right choice

00:35:13.160 in staying?

00:35:13.920 Should I move back?

00:35:15.200 Any advice would be helpful.

00:35:16.780 Thanks.

00:35:18.120 Two roads diverged

00:35:19.500 in a yellow wood,

00:35:20.380 and sorry I could not travel

00:35:21.540 both and be one traveler

00:35:22.420 long, I stood and looked

00:35:23.200 down one as far as I could

00:35:24.000 to where it bent

00:35:24.380 and the other growth,

00:35:25.080 then took the other

00:35:26.000 as just as fair

00:35:26.920 and having perhaps

00:35:27.600 the better claim

00:35:28.220 because it was grassy

00:35:29.200 and wanted wear,

00:35:29.940 though as for that,

00:35:30.460 the passing there

00:35:31.080 left them really

00:35:32.720 about the same.

00:35:33.440 And each that morning

00:35:33.960 equally lay and leaves

00:35:34.700 no step at trodden black.

00:35:35.700 Oh, I saved the first

00:35:37.200 for another day,

00:35:38.400 but knowing how way

00:35:39.020 leads on to way,

00:35:39.600 I doubted that I

00:35:40.300 should ever come back.

00:35:41.580 And I shall say this

00:35:42.180 with a sigh,

00:35:42.780 somewhere ages and ages hence,

00:35:44.240 two roads diverged

00:35:45.280 in a wood,

00:35:45.900 and I,

00:35:47.200 I took the one

00:35:47.900 less traveled by,

00:35:49.000 and that has made

00:35:50.160 all the difference.

00:35:51.980 That might not have been

00:35:52.660 totally word perfect.

00:35:53.760 I memorized that poem

00:35:54.760 in high school.

00:35:55.480 People misunderstand the poem

00:35:56.760 because they think

00:35:57.220 it's called

00:35:57.500 The Road Not Taken

00:35:58.420 or The Road Less Traveled.

00:35:59.740 But it's called

00:36:00.220 The Road Not Taken

00:36:01.020 because the two roads

00:36:04.440 both look pretty good.

00:36:06.500 They look almost

00:36:07.060 indistinguishable

00:36:07.720 in how good they look.

00:36:09.180 And it's only

00:36:09.740 ex post facto

00:36:10.700 that we say,

00:36:12.100 oh,

00:36:12.520 I took the one

00:36:13.460 less traveled.

00:36:14.280 I,

00:36:14.660 that made all the difference.

00:36:15.980 I,

00:36:16.900 because we imagine,

00:36:17.400 because you can't go down

00:36:18.140 two roads at the same time.

00:36:19.280 And I don't know for you

00:36:20.360 which one you should go down.

00:36:21.240 You say you have the ability

00:36:22.000 to start a business.

00:36:22.800 Do you?

00:36:23.140 I don't know.

00:36:24.480 You're quite young.

00:36:26.060 How much money do you have?

00:36:27.480 Where'd you get the money?

00:36:28.820 Are you frivolously

00:36:29.640 going to squander that money away?

00:36:30.780 Or is this hard-earned money

00:36:31.640 with a solid business plan

00:36:32.920 with something that's likely?

00:36:33.840 I just don't know

00:36:34.360 any of those things.

00:36:35.680 Maybe you don't know

00:36:36.420 those answers either.

00:36:38.480 Are you the kind of fellow

00:36:39.580 who's going to be an entrepreneur?

00:36:40.760 Or are you more

00:36:41.280 the kind of guy

00:36:41.820 who's going to work your job

00:36:43.000 and I don't know.

00:36:44.600 I just don't know.

00:36:46.120 Only you could tell me that.

00:36:47.260 Maybe your friends

00:36:47.820 can give you some advice on that.

00:36:51.160 In politics,

00:36:52.000 I do trust my gut very often

00:36:53.660 because I,

00:36:55.360 if anything,

00:36:56.180 I'm a little too risky.

00:36:57.400 In my professional life,

00:36:59.000 I've been in all sorts

00:36:59.660 of very risky fields.

00:37:00.800 Show business,

00:37:01.520 politics,

00:37:02.140 moved all over the place.

00:37:04.020 So,

00:37:05.020 I trust my gut

00:37:07.260 if my gut says,

00:37:08.040 hey,

00:37:08.940 you should be a little

00:37:09.800 more risk-averse here.

00:37:11.180 Is that the same for you?

00:37:12.240 I don't know.

00:37:15.880 I think of Caleb Robinson,

00:37:17.540 one of the founders

00:37:18.020 of The Daily Wire.

00:37:19.160 He gave up

00:37:19.740 a pretty decent,

00:37:20.800 high-paying job

00:37:21.380 when he had six kids

00:37:22.760 to go risk it all

00:37:24.240 to start this business.

00:37:25.060 It's paid off

00:37:25.560 very well for him.

00:37:26.680 But it's a risk.

00:37:27.680 And you're asking me

00:37:28.560 to tell you,

00:37:29.220 well,

00:37:29.340 what's,

00:37:30.700 you know,

00:37:31.120 what's the most prudent

00:37:32.140 thing to do?

00:37:33.620 I don't know.

00:37:35.080 Sometimes you gotta

00:37:35.760 know when to hold him,

00:37:37.540 know when to fold him,

00:37:39.020 know when to walk away,

00:37:40.480 when to run.

00:37:41.520 I'm really quoting

00:37:42.220 a lot of poetry here today.

00:37:44.180 You just need to be

00:37:45.480 prudent about it

00:37:46.300 and you need to recognize

00:37:47.280 that you might get down

00:37:48.580 the road that you follow

00:37:49.480 and have regrets

00:37:51.040 and not even know

00:37:53.820 what the other,

00:37:54.360 the problem is

00:37:54.780 you won't even know

00:37:55.340 what the other road

00:37:55.780 looks like

00:37:56.160 and you'll tell yourself

00:37:56.760 all sorts of stories

00:37:57.420 but you don't know

00:37:58.140 how it would have been.

00:37:59.180 And right now

00:37:59.720 you really can't,

00:38:00.880 you just,

00:38:01.240 you just have to

00:38:02.580 make all your preparation,

00:38:04.840 make all your calculations,

00:38:05.940 be as prudent as you can

00:38:06.940 and then walk down a path.

00:38:09.480 You gotta do it.

00:38:10.100 You can't just

00:38:10.680 hem and haw forever.

00:38:11.900 Next question.

00:38:13.260 Hi, Michael.

00:38:14.200 This is one of your

00:38:14.860 based listeners

00:38:15.920 and I'm based

00:38:16.500 because I'm Greek Orthodox

00:38:17.780 and because I'm Greek Orthodox

00:38:19.220 I wanted to ask you

00:38:20.320 your thoughts again

00:38:21.320 on whether or not

00:38:22.460 animals go to heaven.

00:38:23.880 I know you believe

00:38:24.540 that they don't

00:38:25.260 as a Catholic

00:38:25.840 but I would like to reference

00:38:27.620 Revelation 21.5

00:38:29.120 that says

00:38:29.880 God will make all things new

00:38:31.500 and I was wondering

00:38:32.500 if that would have

00:38:33.080 any role to play

00:38:34.040 in your belief

00:38:35.060 in whether or not

00:38:35.680 animals go to heaven.

00:38:36.740 So I hope that you

00:38:37.560 change your mind.

00:38:39.040 I'd love to hear your thoughts.

00:38:41.220 I'm sorry, my dear.

00:38:43.140 Fido does not go to heaven.

00:38:45.700 Fido does not go to heaven

00:38:46.980 because Fido does not

00:38:48.040 have a rational soul.

00:38:49.600 Fido has a soul

00:38:50.480 proper to his nature

00:38:52.100 but his nature

00:38:53.580 is not rational

00:38:55.040 and his soul

00:38:55.760 is not eternal.

00:38:56.880 There will be,

00:38:58.060 I suspect,

00:38:58.920 animals in the new creation.

00:39:00.620 There will be a new heaven

00:39:01.180 and a new earth

00:39:01.860 but it won't be Fido.

00:39:04.720 I'm sorry to say.

00:39:05.540 We love our pets

00:39:06.260 while they're here

00:39:06.880 and they provide us

00:39:08.240 all sorts of comfort.

00:39:09.700 I'm told.

00:39:10.160 I don't really like pets.

00:39:11.140 I'm a people person

00:39:11.800 as you know

00:39:12.220 but no,

00:39:13.580 they don't.

00:39:13.900 Sorry.

00:39:14.980 Sorry.

00:39:15.620 As a friend of mine

00:39:17.060 has said before,

00:39:18.820 facts don't care

00:39:19.440 about your feelings.

00:39:20.200 Facts don't care 0.96

00:39:20.700 about your Fido.

00:39:21.640 Next question.

00:39:22.960 Hi, Michael.

00:39:23.680 My sister relinquished

00:39:25.240 her parental rights

00:39:26.040 to my niece

00:39:26.600 who has extreme special needs.

00:39:28.300 She's 13 years old,

00:39:29.400 nonverbal,

00:39:30.040 she can only eat formula, 1.00

00:39:31.320 she's still in diapers

00:39:32.100 and as she gets older

00:39:33.020 she becomes more

00:39:33.800 and more immobile.

00:39:35.360 She also has violent tendencies 1.00

00:39:37.100 from time to time.

00:39:38.480 She's cognitively

00:39:39.280 around the age of two.

00:39:40.860 However,

00:39:41.420 this kid is the sweetest

00:39:42.540 and happiest kid

00:39:43.260 in the world

00:39:43.640 and I absolutely adore her.

00:39:45.700 I can't explain

00:39:46.360 how all of that works together

00:39:47.500 but you have to believe me,

00:39:48.780 she's wonderful.

00:39:50.280 My mom is her primary caregiver

00:39:51.640 but I definitely put in my hours

00:39:53.320 and when my mom

00:39:54.100 had a medical crisis

00:39:54.960 I became full-time caregiver

00:39:56.380 to both my niece

00:39:57.280 and my mom

00:39:58.020 which is incredibly tiring,

00:39:59.760 time-consuming and lonely.

00:40:01.700 My problem is

00:40:02.400 that I'm single

00:40:02.980 and I would just love

00:40:03.960 to be married.

00:40:04.860 I'm 38 years old,

00:40:06.160 I want my own kids

00:40:07.120 and I worry that

00:40:07.860 my lifestyle and my life

00:40:08.840 are not compatible

00:40:09.540 with a relationship

00:40:10.460 especially a brand new one.

00:40:12.380 I just don't have time

00:40:13.180 for finding

00:40:13.660 and maintaining

00:40:14.140 a relationship.

00:40:15.300 Also, I work

00:40:15.920 at a Catholic church

00:40:16.620 and trust me,

00:40:17.340 single men my age

00:40:18.280 who are Catholic

00:40:18.800 are of short supply.

00:40:20.180 Any advice?

00:40:22.140 Yes,

00:40:22.580 on that last point

00:40:23.440 my advice is

00:40:24.020 go to a traditional

00:40:24.720 Latin mass

00:40:25.500 and you'll find

00:40:26.280 a lot of eager young men

00:40:29.280 who are traditional

00:40:30.400 and quite orthodox

00:40:31.720 and right-minded

00:40:33.120 and they'll be

00:40:34.260 a little bit weird.

00:40:35.940 A cousin of mine

00:40:36.900 once described

00:40:37.640 dating in Alaska

00:40:38.960 said if you're a woman

00:40:40.660 you go to date in Alaska

00:40:41.640 the odds are good

00:40:42.440 but the goods are odd

00:40:43.260 and that's true

00:40:44.380 at the traditional

00:40:45.240 Latin mass as well.

00:40:46.580 You'll find great

00:40:47.540 right-minded young men

00:40:48.900 but you're going to see

00:40:49.440 a lot of bow ties

00:40:50.280 and a little bit

00:40:51.020 of awkwardness

00:40:52.380 of course

00:40:52.940 to reject

00:40:54.060 the modern culture

00:40:54.760 in that way.

00:40:55.500 The odds are good

00:40:56.020 but the goods are odd.

00:40:56.620 So anyway

00:40:57.060 that's a very practical

00:40:58.140 piece of advice

00:40:58.700 if you want to meet a man

00:40:59.680 and you're Catholic.

00:41:01.280 As for this difficulty

00:41:02.820 of balancing

00:41:03.520 your heroic

00:41:05.060 loving relationship

00:41:07.580 with your sister's

00:41:09.920 disturbed child

00:41:11.580 and your personal life

00:41:14.740 it's very hard

00:41:16.300 and obviously

00:41:17.140 your personal life

00:41:17.780 is going to take a hit.

00:41:18.680 I wouldn't

00:41:20.660 totally sacrifice that

00:41:22.800 though.

00:41:23.660 I suspect

00:41:24.460 especially if you're

00:41:25.320 in the modern culture

00:41:26.880 of course

00:41:27.480 on Tinder culture

00:41:28.480 it's going to be very hard

00:41:29.480 to explain to a man 0.66

00:41:30.500 why it's important

00:41:31.120 to care for your family

00:41:32.200 even your family

00:41:32.780 that's very

00:41:33.240 developmentally disabled

00:41:34.160 and has all these problems

00:41:35.600 and why that matters

00:41:37.060 and why you shouldn't

00:41:37.740 just abort people 0.99

00:41:38.520 who have any problems

00:41:40.880 or defects at all

00:41:41.660 but in your community

00:41:44.780 among traditional

00:41:46.860 Catholic Christian people

00:41:48.540 that part won't be

00:41:50.360 so hard to explain

00:41:51.740 you'll just have to be

00:41:53.500 a little more

00:41:54.160 conscious of it

00:41:56.020 you'll just have to be

00:41:56.860 a little bit more

00:41:57.560 intentional about

00:41:58.620 how you spend your time

00:42:00.580 the limits that you place

00:42:01.940 around caring for

00:42:03.920 this person

00:42:04.720 and also

00:42:06.480 making sure that you're

00:42:08.120 going on with your own

00:42:09.160 life as well

00:42:09.820 I don't think it's impossible

00:42:12.160 it's just often

00:42:13.060 when we have great

00:42:13.960 obligations like that

00:42:14.760 we do really heroic things

00:42:15.740 like you're doing

00:42:16.420 sometimes we just

00:42:18.380 put everything else aside

00:42:19.440 it's very easy to do that

00:42:20.600 and then we just

00:42:21.100 sleepwalk through life

00:42:22.900 and end up in a place

00:42:23.920 one day where we'll

00:42:24.680 regret having not

00:42:26.080 prioritized other things

00:42:28.280 as well

00:42:28.600 so I think you've just

00:42:29.240 got to be quite conscious

00:42:30.120 about it

00:42:30.560 quite intentional about it

00:42:32.000 and you're going to have to

00:42:34.060 make more efficient use

00:42:35.600 of your time and energy

00:42:36.540 than the ordinary person will

00:42:37.860 but you're doing it

00:42:38.380 for a very good reason

00:42:39.260 next question

00:42:40.760 hi michael

00:42:42.440 I hope you're doing well

00:42:43.440 I wanted to criticize

00:42:44.400 your coke and new coke

00:42:45.500 analogy of trump

00:42:46.360 versus desantis

00:42:47.220 provide a more suitable

00:42:48.320 analogy and then get

00:42:49.500 your thoughts on it

00:42:50.320 sticking with the soda

00:42:51.740 analogy I think trump

00:42:53.040 is like going through

00:42:53.840 the drive-thru at

00:42:54.500 mcdonald's ordering a coke

00:42:56.020 but actually getting a

00:42:56.940 sprite

00:42:57.220 in 2016 I was very

00:42:59.000 enthusiastic about his

00:43:00.120 promises of building a

00:43:01.120 much-needed border wall

00:43:02.140 making mexico pay for it

00:43:03.680 and draining the swamp

00:43:04.580 unfortunately he failed

00:43:05.980 to do all three of those

00:43:07.100 things he was only able

00:43:08.180 to build part of a wall

00:43:09.340 and we paid for it

00:43:10.560 he did not dream the

00:43:11.760 swamp by any means

00:43:12.800 in fact he elevated the

00:43:14.060 biggest swamp monster of

00:43:15.400 them all dr fauci into 0.91

00:43:17.100 power and allowed us to

00:43:18.640 stay locked down much

00:43:19.660 past the two weeks to

00:43:21.200 slow the spread

00:43:21.800 the biggest quality about

00:43:23.400 trump's presidency is the

00:43:24.720 supreme court justices

00:43:25.880 but that wasn't really

00:43:26.720 anything he personally

00:43:27.640 did any republican could

00:43:29.360 have filled those seats

00:43:30.160 so I'm happy to get the

00:43:31.520 soda at least but I

00:43:32.540 didn't get what I

00:43:33.160 wanted with desantis

00:43:34.480 he's actually

00:43:35.140 distinguishing himself

00:43:36.240 by making the promise

00:43:37.260 to actually get the

00:43:38.180 coke you ordered and

00:43:39.460 the fact that he has

00:43:40.160 a really good track

00:43:40.880 record and florida

00:43:42.240 supports that what do

00:43:43.640 you think of this thanks

00:43:44.720 again and god bless

00:43:46.400 I disagree with the

00:43:47.660 analysis on the

00:43:48.320 candidates somewhat it's

00:43:49.780 clear your you support

00:43:51.200 desantis and so what

00:43:52.700 happens is when one is

00:43:53.920 actively supporting a

00:43:55.020 candidate in a race one

00:43:57.360 looks at the rest of the

00:43:58.580 field and highlights and

00:44:01.940 exaggerates perhaps even

00:44:03.220 the defects of those

00:44:04.260 candidates and dismisses or

00:44:06.200 minimizes the the great

00:44:08.420 achievements clearest

00:44:09.900 example I think is yeah

00:44:11.220 okay he got roe v wade

00:44:12.420 overruled but you know

00:44:13.380 whatever it's just because

00:44:14.020 he picked judge anyone

00:44:14.800 would have picked those

00:44:15.380 judges I don't think

00:44:16.500 anyone would have picked

00:44:17.100 those judges I think that

00:44:18.920 George W. Bush nominated

00:44:19.940 Harriet Myers for the

00:44:20.840 supreme court okay I think

00:44:22.240 that George H.W. Bush

00:44:23.820 nominated David Souter for

00:44:25.680 the supreme court I think

00:44:27.240 even Ronald Reagan

00:44:28.540 nominated Sandra Day O'Connor

00:44:30.380 for the supreme court who was

00:44:31.300 kind of a squish in a lib I 0.58

00:44:33.180 I think that Trump's picks

00:44:35.000 were particularly good

00:44:36.200 they've got their own

00:44:36.720 problems too but they were

00:44:37.780 particularly good especially

00:44:38.720 on this issue and I think

00:44:40.600 he deserves a lot of credit

00:44:41.500 for that and it's true he

00:44:44.360 failed on some of his

00:44:45.460 promises and some of it he

00:44:46.520 didn't quite have enough

00:44:47.220 time some of it you know he

00:44:49.080 flubbed himself some of

00:44:51.420 them I think are debatable I

00:44:52.460 mean the way that he was

00:44:53.340 rearranging trade deals with

00:44:54.440 Mexico and especially with

00:44:55.440 China before the COVID

00:44:56.720 nonsense I think he deserves

00:44:59.480 more credit for in terms of

00:45:00.640 you know this country will

00:45:02.620 pay us you know whether

00:45:04.820 it's through tariffs whether

00:45:06.000 it's through renegotiating

00:45:06.860 trade deals whether you

00:45:08.220 know these are fungible

00:45:10.100 complex economic questions

00:45:11.180 but all of that to say I

00:45:12.780 think my analogy still holds

00:45:14.440 up regardless of whether

00:45:15.480 you love Trump or hate

00:45:16.840 Trump I have made clear I

00:45:19.940 have no intention of

00:45:20.700 endorsing a candidate in a

00:45:21.840 primary I like these guys I

00:45:24.080 have interacted personally

00:45:25.640 with all of the top

00:45:27.160 candidates in the race I

00:45:28.820 love Trump he's the best

00:45:29.740 president in my lifetime I

00:45:30.800 think Ron DeSantis is a

00:45:31.800 terrific governor of

00:45:32.420 Florida and Vivek is a

00:45:33.480 buddy of mine and we go

00:45:34.240 back to college together so

00:45:35.400 I and then I'm even friends

00:45:37.280 with some of the other

00:45:37.700 candidates in the race and

00:45:38.760 I'm I just it's not that I

00:45:41.260 don't have a dog in this

00:45:42.240 fight I I do in that I have

00:45:45.520 preferences of this

00:45:46.660 candidate or that candidate

00:45:47.580 or this quality of this

00:45:48.460 candidate or whatever and I

00:45:50.120 want the GOP to win so

00:45:51.380 yeah I'm all about that but

00:45:53.360 I I think I I've got a

00:45:54.620 little bit of a remove from

00:45:56.120 the people who are actively

00:45:57.500 campaigning for Trump

00:45:58.260 actively campaigning for

00:45:59.240 DeSantis or actively

00:46:00.200 campaigning for someone

00:46:00.940 else the reason this holds

00:46:02.180 up is everyone knows who

00:46:04.020 Trump is you say well I

00:46:06.480 was deceived in 2016 okay

00:46:07.720 did you vote for him in

00:46:08.460 2020 sounds like you

00:46:09.580 probably did I don't think

00:46:10.380 you voted for Biden so

00:46:11.720 you know you voted for him

00:46:12.900 in 2020 knowing that he

00:46:13.980 didn't build as much of the

00:46:14.760 wall as you hoped and he

00:46:15.740 didn't do this and he

00:46:16.440 didn't do that so we know

00:46:17.700 who he is we know and a

00:46:20.020 lot of people didn't expect

00:46:21.220 him to fulfill all the

00:46:22.140 promises that we got in

00:46:23.860 2016 some people such as

00:46:25.960 myself were shocked we got

00:46:27.000 as much as we did and yes

00:46:29.780 he he pursued some other

00:46:31.020 policy like the jailbreak

00:46:32.780 bill the crime thing let

00:46:34.080 the criminals out of

00:46:35.040 prison I thought that was

00:46:35.660 insane but all in all it

00:46:37.740 was a great presidency even

00:46:39.660 if you think all in all it

00:46:40.660 wasn't a great presidency

00:46:41.380 there's no ambiguity with

00:46:43.500 Trump we know who this guy

00:46:45.380 is we've known this guy for

00:46:46.380 40 years you I think you're

00:46:49.640 actually proving my analogy

00:46:50.780 because you're saying Trump

00:46:52.560 you're saying old coke is

00:46:54.040 actually not that good and

00:46:55.920 new coke actually tastes

00:46:57.300 better than old coke maybe

00:46:59.700 it does I don't know so

00:47:02.020 says you I've never tasted

00:47:02.840 new coke but maybe new

00:47:04.200 coke does taste better that's

00:47:05.460 what people said in the

00:47:06.080 blind taste test but I'm

00:47:07.480 telling you 10 out of 10

00:47:09.180 times every single time that

00:47:12.440 someone takes that blindfold

00:47:13.900 off even if the new coke

00:47:15.700 tastes better and you can

00:47:16.860 make a really good

00:47:17.500 rational logical argument

00:47:18.500 for why the new coke is

00:47:19.260 better people are going to

00:47:20.540 want the OG which is why

00:47:22.460 if DeSantis and he's

00:47:23.740 starting to do this

00:47:24.320 actually if DeSantis wants

00:47:25.580 to have any shot at

00:47:26.580 getting the nomination he's

00:47:27.680 got to run as something

00:47:28.740 other than the new and

00:47:29.940 improved Donald Trump

00:47:30.900 because when you put that

00:47:32.280 against the OG Donald

00:47:33.200 Trump warts and all people

00:47:35.680 are going to pick the
