The Michael Knowles Show

00:00:00.000 We've got some breaking news this morning. A new secret Nazi dog whistle has just dropped.

00:00:05.720 In recent years, the list of officially approved secret Nazi dog whistles

00:00:09.300 has grown to include cartoon frogs, the OK gesture, and milk. And now a new one has dropped.

00:00:18.120 And that new one is the time frame of six months.

00:00:22.280 Since FDR's time in office, the legislative metric in the United States has been

00:00:27.440 a hundred days, not six months. This is a racist code whistle to every white supremacist in the

00:00:35.100 country because it's how long it took out off Hitler to take Weimar Germany to a complete and

00:00:42.040 total dictatorship. That included, by the way, the military swearing an oath of allegiance,

00:00:48.600 not to the nation, but to the Fuhrer. And the military was the institution amongst many in

00:00:56.800 Germany that were the last holdouts to this. But once he was in power, they were the first

00:01:03.800 to submit. And what Donald Trump is signaling to the officer corps of the American military,

00:01:11.060 you get in line behind me, the leader, not the idea, not the Constitution, or I'm coming for you

00:01:18.460 too. This is an epically dangerous moment. Epically. Steve Schmidt hates the time frame

00:01:27.760 of six months to a year, presumably because as a member of the Lincoln Project, he prefers ages

00:01:34.740 closer to 14 years, maybe 15 years. But whatever the case against six months to a year, it's difficult

00:01:42.060 to see how this relates to the Nazis. It is not, I'm sorry to say, a particularly credible accusation.

00:01:51.660 Particularly because the same sort of people who accuse anyone to their right of being a Nazi for

00:01:57.120 the flimsiest of reasons, just a few days ago, exalted an actual Nazi from the Waffen SS because

00:02:05.100 they thought it might help Ukraine or something. It is not consistent. It doesn't make any sense,

00:02:12.300 of course. But it doesn't have to. Give these people six months to a year, and they will come

00:02:18.360 up with an entirely new set of reasons to call you a Nazi and try to push you out of society.

00:02:55.060 Knowles today. Britney Spears is dancing with knives. We will get to that very important story in just one

00:03:01.000 moment. First, though, I cannot stop laughing about the Ukraine Nazi story. I can't with Trudeau

00:03:08.880 and Zelensky and the whole MPs, and they're just applauding, and the guy apparently served with the

00:03:14.900 Waffen SS. Politico is trying to water this down. Politico has changed the story to Nazi-linked

00:03:21.900 veteran received ovation during Zelensky's Canada visit. Not Nazi-linked. Nazi. He fought with

00:03:30.980 the Nazis. It's not like his cousin's grandma's brother's friend had a pamphlet that was given

00:03:38.180 to him by some Nazi guy. He fought with the Nazis doing Nazi things, and they say, no, no, he's just

00:03:44.880 sort of Nazi-linked. You know, you, you are literally a Nazi for not transing your kids, but the literal

00:03:53.280 Nazi is only Nazi-linked, according to Politico. It's actually slightly more complicated than this.

00:04:00.060 Not in the way Politico is pretending, not in the way the Libs are pretending, but it's more

00:04:04.040 complicated because you have lots of conquered territories during the war. You've got lots of

00:04:08.860 different groups who are making different sort of arrangements with political powers, some of which

00:04:14.440 are happier than others. And so, actually, this unit that this guy was in was not totally bought into

00:04:20.560 all of the Nazi stuff, and they were fighting exclusively against the Bolsheviks. But, you know,

00:04:26.680 he's a literal Nazi, guys. Come on. Come on, man. Come on, man. Speaking of narratives, I'm in

00:04:32.200 Washington, D.C. right now. I had a speech last night at Georgetown. You can catch that speech

00:04:36.260 at the YAF YouTube channel. It was on whether or not Biden is a more evil ruler than Putin or Xi.

00:04:44.120 Also on the political theology of Denoso Cortez, but largely about how Biden is a big jerk. So,

00:04:50.100 you can go watch that speech. And in D.C., just down the road from where I am, the Washington National

00:04:55.600 Cathedral has replaced its stained glass with BLM-type propaganda. The cathedral has unveiled a set

00:05:04.600 of four new stained glass windows, just this past Saturday, dedicated to the theme of racial justice.

00:05:11.180 And those installations were to replace the previous windows, which depicted Stonewall Jackson,

00:05:21.040 which depicted Robert E. Lee, which depicted some of the great figures of the South and of the

00:05:27.260 reconciliation that took place after the Civil War. My first thought is Episcopalians are going to

00:05:34.220 Episcopalian. You know, this is what they do. It's sad to say, listen, some of my very best friends are

00:05:39.780 Episcopalian, okay? But there's that good old line, variously attributed to Dean Inge or Fulton

00:05:46.140 Sheen, which is that if you wed the spirit of the age, you'll find yourself a widow in the next. And

00:05:51.240 the Episcopalians, got to love them, but they have particularly fallen into this trap. So now

00:05:56.600 an Episcopalian service, Episcopalian public life, is just a series of political fads. It's really

00:06:06.040 not all that different from just watching a liberal newscast. And so it's no surprise that

00:06:11.640 they would get rid of these stained glass windows and replace them with the new fashions of whatever

00:06:17.880 the vision of racial justice is today. But don't forget, it's not like they were replacing stained

00:06:23.540 glass windows of the evangelists. It's not like they were replacing stained glass windows of the

00:06:28.780 saints. They were replacing stained glass windows of Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee.

00:06:36.400 Why? Why were those even the stained glass windows? Well, because after the Civil War,

00:06:42.980 those windows were put up as a sign of coming back together. This war that almost ripped the country

00:06:49.780 completely in half. It was a gracious gesture for the conquered people, the conquered people being in

00:06:57.520 the South. And this is what's so strange about this new moment and this little symbol in the

00:07:02.740 churches. The old windows honored the conquered South. The new windows honor the conquerors.

00:07:13.640 I don't mean racial conquerors. I mean ideological conquerors. The old windows, look, the North won the

00:07:19.640 war. The Union won the war. And yet they paid a little bit of homage to the South. The new windows

00:07:26.880 pay homage to progressivism, the progressive view of history. The past was really bad. The future is going

00:07:32.460 to be really good. The present is always a crisis. White people bad, black people good. Old people bad,

00:07:38.300 young people good. The new windows honor the ideological conquerors because progressivism has conquered the

00:07:47.060 country. That is the ideology that animates the whole country now. And so you would think if they wanted to

00:07:54.040 keep this in line with the old windows, they would maybe pay some homage to the conservatives or to the

00:08:00.260 normal people or to maybe Christians. Wouldn't that be nice in our national cathedral in the windows

00:08:05.360 honoring saints and honoring evangelists and honoring figures from the Bible? But no, that's not how it

00:08:12.500 works. The days of malice toward none and charity for all, the days of extending an olive branch to the

00:08:18.660 conquered. That's over. The progressives see no role for that. They see no role for grace because the

00:08:27.280 progressives have sold out the religion that animated our entire civilization, Christianity,

00:08:33.480 and they've replaced it with political stained glass windows. One thing that I really don't like when

00:08:38.800 I'm on the road. I have a good time when I'm on the road. I like meeting the students. I like giving the

00:08:42.400 speeches. I like the Q&A. One thing I don't like, though, is that I don't get to eat delicious Good

00:08:53.660 being on the road. The one thing is I don't get to eat my delicious Good Ranchers because Sweet Little

00:10:01.480 delivered. Speaking of dubious narratives, there's a new crisis, guys. Democrats have an

00:10:09.080 urgent campaign. They want to reinstate net neutrality. Do you remember net neutrality?

00:10:16.620 It's been about six years now. I still don't really know what net neutrality is.

00:10:20.520 All I was told in 2017 when Donald Trump was about to get rid of net neutrality was that this was going

00:10:27.440 to destroy the internet. We weren't going to be able to use the internet as we knew it was going to be

00:10:32.440 over. Not only that, people were going to die. This is what they told us. If some executive agency

00:10:40.940 changed some slight rule about how the ISPs were regulated. And then what happened? They got rid of

00:10:47.060 net neutrality and everything was fine. Actually, the only thing that changed was that internet speeds

00:10:53.400 increased a little bit. But everything else, it was fine. Your bill didn't really change.

00:10:57.880 Nothing changed. Well, anyway, the Democrats want to reinstate it. 27 Senate Democrats have

00:11:03.140 written a letter to the chairman of the FCC, Jessica Rosen-Worsell, urging her to reinstate

00:11:11.160 the Title II regulations on ISPs known as net neutrality. They want to defend the free and open

00:11:19.280 internet. The only thing that risks making the internet no longer free and open is when the

00:11:26.840 Democrats come in and censor everything on the internet. Otherwise, it's pretty free and open,

00:11:31.720 but the Democrats just want to be totally sure. And so they want to reinstate net neutrality.

00:11:35.260 What we can learn from this is nothing about the internet. It's nothing really about regulation

00:11:39.920 or ISPs. What we can learn from this is that the Democrats, the libs, never give up. They never give

00:11:48.220 up, not even on the teensy, tiniest, least significant things. They are always plowing ahead with their

00:11:56.500 agenda. Conservatives, I'm sorry to say, we're not always like that. Sometimes we are. We've held

00:12:02.000 the line on life on the issue of abortion. Even after Roe v. Wade in 1973, the conservatives held

00:12:07.660 firm and we kept pushing, pushing, pushing. Then eventually we got to overrule the terrible decision

00:12:14.900 in Roe v. Wade. That was great. But in a lot of issues, we just let it go. Oh, marriage. Yeah,

00:12:19.800 that's over. We lost that one. Oh, the structure of the government, the way our constitutional order

00:12:25.720 works. Oh yeah. Okay. Yeah. Well, we lost that one. It's no big deal. Oh, well, you know, porn,

00:12:30.480 ubiquitous porn on the internet. Yeah, there's nothing really we can do. Sorry. We lost that

00:12:33.500 one. Oh, well, blah, blah, blah. The Democrats never think that way. And we should emulate them.

00:12:38.860 We should notice that they just, if they take a loss, even if it's the end of the world,

00:12:44.000 catastrophic loss of net neutrality falling away, they just plow ahead. And six years later,

00:12:48.600 they remember this stupid rule from the FCC. We need to do that too. You also need to remember

00:12:53.220 to wear very, very fine undergarments, which is why you've got to check out Tommy John.

00:14:03.120 Speaking of Democrat senators, Bob Menendez is in a lot of hot water right now. Bob Menendez was caught

00:14:13.880 with money in his house, in his coat pockets, in every gold bar, his luxury cars. The guy is crooked

00:14:21.920 and they got him dead to rights. Some Democrats are calling on him to resign. Sherrod Brown of Ohio says

00:14:28.460 Senator Menendez has broken the public trust and should resign from the U.S. Senate. He is the

00:14:33.900 chairman of the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. John Fetterman also called on him

00:14:38.760 to resign, or at least some staff member of his did. And New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy called on

00:14:43.580 him to resign. These are all Democrats. The alleged facts are so serious that they compromise the ability

00:14:48.580 of Senator Menendez to effectively represent the people of our state. Therefore, I am calling for his

00:14:52.060 immediate resignation. And even Menendez's fellow New Jersey Senator Cory Booker has called on him to

00:14:57.740 resign. Cory Booker has said, I don't have his, sadly, I don't have his very meticulously written

00:15:06.360 comment here. But the thrust of it was, I love Bob. He's a good guy. I realize he's, he's not the man

00:15:15.320 that's being portrayed in the press is not the man that I know. And he's entitled to defense and he's

00:15:20.520 entitled to the resumption of innocence, but he should resign. I just, I think he should probably resign.

00:15:25.860 And he did it very, fairly gracefully, but he gently suggested that Menendez resign. And people

00:15:30.640 are making fun of Booker for this statement because he was so mealy mouthed and so, everyone knows that

00:15:35.560 Menendez is extremely corrupt. But I got to say, I actually appreciate Booker's loyalty. I think

00:15:39.720 loyalty is an important thing in politics. Booker might be trying to ride the fence a little bit here,

00:15:43.400 but I still appreciate that he's not totally beaten up on the guy. Nevertheless, Menendez is not

00:15:48.980 going to resign. He's not, he's not going to resign. He's completely shameless. He was already

00:15:54.420 brought up on these corruption charges. I guess he was really investigated by his colleagues on

00:15:58.960 the corruption charges. The, the ethics committee seemed to think that Menendez did some pretty

00:16:05.760 crooked stuff. Uh, you've, you've heard these headlines for over a decade now and he still sticks

00:16:11.520 it out and he still remained chairman of the foreign affairs committee and he still peddled

00:16:17.160 us influence shamelessly, even after he was investigated and chastised for it. So he's not

00:16:21.760 going anywhere. The only way that Menendez is going to resign is if they offer not to prosecute him

00:16:29.520 and maybe not to prosecute his wife. And frankly, he's probably going to try to keep his Senate

00:16:33.920 retirement fund. I was talking to some friends here in Washington DC. That's, that's how corrupt

00:16:41.800 this town is. And I think they're right. I think they're probably right that that's what he's

00:16:45.760 waiting for. He has nothing to lose. He's not worried about being shamed. He has no shame.

00:16:50.360 So his only chip right now is he's holding onto the Senate seat. Every day that he holds onto the

00:16:55.500 Senate seat, the more likely it is that a Republican will be able to win that seat in New Jersey.

00:16:59.780 Don't forget, New Jersey is not just a completely locked, solid blue state. It's pretty

00:17:03.880 blue, but Republicans win there with some frequency. The Chrisessons, Chris Christie was

00:17:07.760 a Republican governor in New Jersey, not that long ago. So it could happen. And Menendez,

00:17:12.000 he doesn't care if some Republican succeeds him. He doesn't really believe in anything other than

00:17:16.280 the almighty dollar. So he's going to stick this out until he gets guarantees that he's not going to

00:17:22.120 spend the rest of his life in a prison cell. And then maybe he will resign. And speaking of playing

00:17:28.020 the hand you're dealt, President Trump has just tried to blow the whistle on Pennsylvania

00:17:33.600 rigging the election. Once again, Pennsylvania, which was the most brazen in rigging the election

00:17:39.000 in 2020, because they violated their own state constitution by sending those mail-in ballots

00:17:44.820 out to everybody unsolicited. Pennsylvania now is pushing automatic voter registration.

00:17:51.600 And Trump says Pennsylvania is at it again. The radical left governor, Josh Shapiro, has just

00:17:57.680 announced a switch to automatic voter registration, a disaster for the election of Republicans, including

00:18:02.860 your favorite president, me. This is a totally unconstitutional act and must be met harshly

00:18:07.740 by Republican leadership in Washington and Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia,

00:18:13.540 Arizona, Wisconsin, and others are far more important than Ada, Sloppy Chris, Lion Mike Pence,

00:18:22.960 Nicky Birdbrain Haley, Ron, parentheses, Dead Campaign, DeSanctimonious, and others.

00:18:29.300 All right. He's just reusing old nicknames. The Ada thing I don't quite get unless it refers to,

00:18:34.920 I think it refers to Asa Hutchinson and maybe that Broadway musical. And then Sloppy Chris,

00:18:39.600 he used Sloppy for Steve Bannon. Lion Mike Pence, he obviously used Lion for Ted Cruz, Lion Ted,

00:18:45.460 L-Y-I-N apostrophe. Birdbrain, I guess, is a new one. Ron, Dead Campaign, DeSanctimonious. Those are

00:18:51.980 two nicknames there for the one guy. But anyway, so he's reusing them. Not surprising. And then he

00:18:58.200 says, start suing now. Get the lawyers right this time. The Pennsylvania Republican Party must likewise

00:19:03.140 not let this happen. It will be a disaster for our nation, which is being destroyed by these lunatics,

00:19:07.140 Marxist fascists, whose only real ability is to cheat on the elections. Now, you might dislike Trump's

00:19:14.180 rhetoric there. And you might say, look, the primary is not over yet. Things could change.

00:19:19.720 They don't seem likely to change, but it's not totally over yet. Still, though, broadly speaking,

00:19:25.580 I think Trump's point is correct. The point that we have got to focus on making sure that the libs

00:19:32.080 don't rig the election again. We have got to focus on the nitty gritty of the election rules,

00:19:36.500 the way that Democrats are changing things such that they have an advantage and we have a

00:19:41.280 disadvantage. That's got to be the focus, especially with the polls as they are, because

00:19:45.460 the polls right now are saying Donald Trump is way up on Biden nationally. He's nine points up on

00:19:50.160 Biden nationally. And even in the key states, Donald Trump is doing very well against Biden

00:19:54.200 and Trump is very likely to be the Republican nominee. So he's doing so well. Biden's doing so

00:20:01.180 poorly. OK, then how could Trump lose the election? He could lose the election, one, because things

00:20:06.620 change in the course of a year, but two, because the surveys are not always indicative of what's

00:20:12.900 going to happen when people are counting those ballots without any poll watchers and pipes bursting

00:20:16.680 in the middle of the night, which is why we've got to focus on the rules. And it's very difficult

00:20:22.020 for conservatives to focus on the rules here because conservatives need to figure out a way

00:20:27.140 to make the politically viable case against automatic voter registration.

00:20:33.160 It sounds like we hate democracy if we say, well, I don't want voters to be automatically

00:20:38.960 registered. Why not? You don't want more people to vote. You want to suppress the vote. You want.

00:20:42.880 And so it's very difficult to make the case. Now, I think the case is easy enough. Rather,

00:20:48.420 I think the argument is easy enough. The argument being that if someone is not able or inclined to

00:20:56.420 walk down the street and register to vote before an election, they probably shouldn't be voting because

00:21:01.780 they're not responsible people and they're not paying close enough attention. I think that's

00:21:05.280 simple enough, but it sounds kind of un-democratic. So how do we make that case? I think the way we

00:21:09.840 make that case is just bluntly and honestly. And we appeal to people's greater civic responsibility

00:21:19.120 than the civic responsibility of their peers. You got to talk to people and say, hey, look,

00:21:25.960 there's a lot of people in this country who don't care about our form of government and they don't

00:21:30.420 care about politics and they're not responsible citizens. And that's fine. They can go about

00:21:35.180 their lives, but they shouldn't therefore weigh in. You, citizen that I'm talking to right now,

00:21:41.380 at any stage in your life, in any part of the country, at any socioeconomic tier, you,

00:21:47.540 if you're listening to this political message right now, you're the kind of person that I do want

00:21:51.540 voting. And so to protect your right to vote, to protect your influence in the country,

00:21:55.100 we need to make sure that people who would throw their vote away are not automatically

00:22:02.000 encouraged to do it. Because when you're going to throw your vote away, when you don't know

00:22:04.540 anything about politics and justice and our form of government, that is when you are most likely to

00:22:08.860 vote for Democrats. Who doesn't love a good Columbus Day sale? I, for one, think that Columbus Day

00:22:44.640 Speaking of Trump and all of these polls, Trump right now is up five points over Biden nationally,

00:22:49.700 according to a Messenger Harris poll. This is going to increase the pressure to get Donald

00:22:56.420 Trump, to get Joe Biden rather, out of the race by the Democrats. Because we sometimes think that

00:23:04.940 the Democrats are so powerful, they control all of the institutions, the academy, the media,

00:23:09.260 the administrative government, the big tech, the corporation. They control all of the institutions,

00:23:14.360 increasingly the military. But they're not omnipotent. They're not God. I think they can

00:23:21.920 still lose elections. They lost in 2016 when we were told that was going to be impossible.

00:23:26.840 I think that can still happen. If their candidate is sufficiently bad and our candidate is sufficiently

00:23:31.940 smart, I think we can win. So you're going to see that push. And you're also going to see the push

00:23:37.220 to rig the vote, which is why we got to try to stop that. The liberals do not care about the rules.

00:23:43.700 I don't know if you follow one of the great accounts on Twitter, Cat Turd. It's an amazing

00:23:49.060 thing about American politics now that one of the more popular and insightful commentators is

00:23:54.240 someone named Cat Turd. Cat Turd was just swatted. Swatting is when someone calls in a report to the

00:24:03.580 police and says, you got to come and bring your guns and come in blazing because there's a problem

00:24:07.320 at this address. And they put the address of someone else. And then the cops show up, you know,

00:24:11.640 guns out. And it's a very dangerous situation. Here's what happened. This happened live on stream.

00:24:17.040 Cat's house has just been swatted. Someone called and pretended to be him and said that he had stabbed

00:24:23.120 someone and had a gun and was going to kill himself. Cops are absolutely everywhere. They're

00:24:29.360 all over Cat Turd Ranch. He is trying to defuse the situation. As we speak, I just got this in from

00:24:35.640 him. So no, he will not be rejoining the podcast. I'm sorry about that. But oh my gosh, keep him

00:24:41.100 and the puppies in your prayers because this is how the left operates. When you're over the target,

00:24:46.440 they've done it to several other podcasters. I knew it wasn't if, it was when. Please keep him

00:24:51.600 in your prayers. Yes, this just happened at the Cat Turd Ranch. I really expect this to happen to all

00:24:57.420 of us. We're all going to be targets of this game that the left continues to play.

00:25:03.200 That's it. That's what happens. It's not the first time. I'm going on Tim Pool's show tonight. I hope

00:25:08.040 they don't swat Tim. They've swatted Tim Pool, too. What is swatting? Swatting is not just filing a

00:25:14.960 false police report. Swatting is attempted murder. What you are doing is you're saying, hey, there's a

00:25:20.400 dangerous situation. We want highly trained fighting forces to show up with guns blazing at

00:25:26.760 this person's house because we don't like that person, because that person has political views

00:25:30.560 that we disagree with. This is what they're willing to do. We know they're willing to do it.

00:25:35.140 When I showed up to the University of Pittsburgh last semester, Antifa showed up and threw explosives

00:25:40.060 at the building. They mean business. They don't just want to play around. This is attempted

00:25:48.040 murder, and we need to change the law to reflect that, because this has happened to a number of my

00:25:53.660 friends. The conservatives don't do it to the libs, nor should we, but the libs do it to the

00:25:57.580 conservatives a lot. This is attempted murder, and the libs who call this stuff in should be charged

00:26:04.360 with attempted murder and should rot behind bars. What do we do now in this country? We take

00:26:09.040 74-year-old pro-life women who peaceably demonstrate in front of abortion clinics,

00:26:15.100 and we throw them in prison for the rest of their lives. That's what Joe Biden is doing

00:26:18.440 right now, and he's doing it to eight pro-life advocates. Meanwhile, someone tries to kill a

00:26:23.600 conservative commentator because they don't like what Cat Turd is saying about the 2024 election.

00:26:27.600 That person can try to murder Cat Turd, and that person just goes off scot-free.

00:26:33.580 The way to stop this kind of behavior is with a little bit of a heavier hand. The way to exercise

00:26:39.380 that little bit of a heavier hand is to win elections and then wield political power effectively

00:26:43.860 to defend the innocent people and to punish our enemies who are doing unjust things.

00:26:52.320 And if we're not willing to do that, if all conservatives are willing to do is just dangle

00:26:56.600 the carrot in front of people. Conservatives are pretty good about incentives, especially

00:27:00.360 economic incentives. So if all we're willing to do is dangle the carrot and we're not willing

00:27:04.860 to wield the stick, then we're not going to get very far. We also need to punish our enemies

00:27:09.820 when they are doing things that are unjust, when they're trying to murder us. Speaking of crime,

00:27:16.660 Wisconsin has just forced women to share a prison cell or a prison, broadly, with an incestuous

00:27:25.180 transvestite child rapist. This person is, his name is Mark Campbell. He began serving a 34-year

00:27:33.180 sentence in 2007 for, I mean, look, it's a family show. I'm not even going to go into the details of

00:27:39.040 his crime. It's as horrific a crime as you could possibly imagine. Then in 2013, this is six years

00:27:45.260 later, he started to identify as a woman named Nicole and he underwent hormone treatment. So it

00:27:51.980 wasn't merely cynical to get out of the men's prison and go to the women's prison. Or if it was cynical,

00:27:57.320 he really went all the way because he got the hormone treatment. He now wants the surgery

00:28:00.720 treatment to lap off things that are very dear to most men. A lot of people are going to look at

00:28:05.720 this and say, this is just cynical criminal men who either want to go into the women's prison so that

00:28:12.200 they can do weird sex stuff with them, or they want to go into the women's prison so they don't get

00:28:15.240 murdered by the men in the men's prisons. And they know it's a little bit easier. And so they're going

00:28:19.360 to pretend to have this sexual disorder where they think they're the opposite sex. I'm not convinced

00:28:24.640 that he's pretending. I mean, he's pretending to be a woman because men can't be women, but

00:28:29.200 he might really suffer from this sexual disorder. He suffers from all the other ones. I wouldn't be

00:28:36.060 surprised if he suffers from this one too. He's an incestuous child rapist. Probably a few things

00:28:41.120 have gone wrong in his view of sex and the human body. Nevertheless, though, this is very, very wrong.

00:28:48.620 There's a line from Martin Luther King. I know everyone loves quoting Martin Luther King. I find it

00:28:52.560 cliche sometimes, and I don't quote Martin Luther King quite a lot. But this time, I really like this

00:28:57.000 quote, which is often spouted off by the libs, which is that injustice anywhere is a threat to

00:29:03.760 justice everywhere. And that is simply true. This is very important. Individualists don't really like

00:29:12.620 this quote because you're saying, no, no, no. Justice is just a matter for an individual or between a

00:29:18.340 couple of people, but it doesn't have to do with the broader community. But conservatives and leftists,

00:29:24.060 oddly enough, do like this quote because we recognize that man is not an island entire unto

00:29:29.420 himself, but man is part of a political community. We're the social creature. And so if there is

00:29:33.840 injustice anywhere, it's like a poisonous gas. It's just, it spreads throughout the whole community.

00:29:42.560 This is the, this is why all of leftism is just a perversion or even an inversion of Christianity.

00:29:48.240 Christianity. But Christianity makes this observation too. The understanding of the fall

00:29:55.160 of man in Christianity is that Adam sins and then sin and death pervade the world. It doesn't just

00:30:03.940 apply to Adam. It doesn't just apply to Eve. It doesn't just apply to their immediate family. It

00:30:08.580 doesn't even just apply to the human race. It pervades the entire cosmos because injustice anywhere is a

00:30:13.900 threat to justice everywhere. It's just, everything goes wrong. This guy being in a women's prison is

00:30:22.660 unjust for everyone. It's unjust for all the women. It's unjust for this pervert criminal who's, who's

00:30:28.840 now has the, the further degradation of mutilating himself and being mutilated by supposed physicians.

00:30:35.260 It is unjust for the society because of the scandal that now people are led to believe that

00:30:41.820 men can become women and women can become men. It's a threat to all of our liberty. This was the

00:30:47.880 subject of my speech last night because liberty, contrary to what a lot of people think, is not

00:30:52.180 merely a matter of choice, choosing between good and bad and true and false and right and wrong.

00:30:56.860 Liberty is, is a matter of willing and willing is, presupposes understanding. And so this seems a

00:31:07.400 little bit abstract, but the reason that this is an important distinction is because if freedom were

00:31:14.120 merely choice, then God would not be free because God cannot choose to sin because God's very being

00:31:22.440 precludes evil. This would be true for all of us. If we are virtuous people and we tamp down all of our

00:31:28.040 vices, then we are less free to choose to do those vices. This is true for anyone who ever has any kind of

00:31:35.080 habit. Think of it in the opposite direction. If you're a heroin addict, you've developed this

00:31:40.460 habit of heroin. You are less free to stop shooting up heroin, right? So it's not, so you're obviously

00:31:48.840 not a totally free man if you're a heroin addict, contrary to what the liberals say, because your will

00:31:54.920 has been compromised and your will is compromised in part because your intellect is compromised. So

00:31:59.220 God, obviously being free, is free because he wills perfectly and understands perfectly. He's the

00:32:06.140 only, he's the only being who is perfectly free and who wills and understands perfectly. We will be

00:32:11.480 free only in as much as we align our wills and our intellects with God. This is the meaning of the

00:32:15.740 phrase in the Bible, the truth will set you free. Scandal, intellectual darkness, lies pervading society,

00:32:26.380 compromise all of our liberty because they stop us from willing good and true things and the society

00:32:35.160 crumbles. This is why you don't want to have a society that is ordered according to lies because

00:32:39.520 it screws things up for everybody. Which brings me to Britney Spears. Britney Spears is dancing around

00:32:47.980 her home with knives, with big sharp knives. And Britney, since her conservatorship has been lifted,

00:32:53.600 Britney has posted a lot of odd videos, half naked or naked dancing around on TikTok and doing things

00:33:03.540 that don't seem particularly helpful to her. She's now denied this. So you can see the video

00:33:08.960 playing around on TikTok. She's denied it though and said, I started playing in the kitchen with knives

00:33:14.240 today. Don't worry, they're not real knives. Halloween is soon with three exclamation marks every

00:33:20.720 time. But I look at those knives. They look pretty real. They don't look like plastic knives or

00:33:27.520 anything to me. Maybe they're fake. Maybe they're just really, really good fakes. But I don't know.

00:33:31.840 Britney's exhibited a ton of crazy behavior in recent years and I guess really for 15 years now.

00:33:38.900 So I have to ask myself, was it really a good idea to free Britney? There was the free Britney movement

00:33:45.680 when she was under a conservatorship. And the free Britney movement was based on this idea that

00:33:50.920 Britney has the right to liberty. Which is true. We all want liberty. Liberty is a good thing. But the

00:33:56.620 reason the free Britney movement was wrong is because the free Britney movement presupposed

00:34:02.240 a definition of liberty based on choice, not based on perfect willing and understanding.

00:34:09.540 So this is a very, very important distinction. If your will is compromised, if you're a degenerate

00:34:18.480 addict or something, then you can't be granted this kind of political liberty. And we have

00:34:26.300 programs in our justice system to limit your political liberty. Not even to limit your liberty,

00:34:32.020 to recognize that your liberty is limited and so they're going to constrain your field of operation

00:34:36.340 and politics. If you are ignorant, if you're something that's defective in your intellect,

00:34:41.960 then your liberty is going to be limited. This is why we have conservatorships. This is why we have

00:34:47.520 legal powers of attorney. This is why we have parental rights. It's because little kids

00:34:51.100 aren't in control of their will and aren't particularly educated yet. And so they don't get to vote

00:34:57.780 until the Democrats have their way and they lower the voting age to five. They don't get to,

00:35:02.240 whatever, drive a car. They don't get to participate in civic life. It seems like a little bit of an

00:35:09.320 abstract issue. Well, my definition of liberty is this and your definition of liberty is this. This

00:35:14.600 is a crucial thing. Freedom, liberty is a defining feature, perhaps the defining feature of human

00:35:23.420 nature. But the left and the right in this country, and frankly, even there's a disagreement of

00:35:28.880 this on the right, we disagree over what that means. And until we figure out what that means,

00:35:34.960 if we continue to persist in this false liberty, which is nothing more than choice,

00:35:40.200 the country is going to continue to degrade and we're going to be a whole country of Britney Spears.

00:36:21.560 My favorite comment yesterday is from TASGB5PH, who says, I'm a big lib, but this was a good

00:36:32.420 show. Well done, Michael. You get it right sometimes. Thank you. I love that comment. I love that comment

00:36:40.320 because I love it when libs tune into the show. I've had people write in. I actually met some people

00:36:46.700 last night who said, Michael, I was a huge lib, and then I started listening to the show, and now I'm

00:36:52.380 a conservative. And that does my heart so good because I don't want to just preach to the choir.

00:36:57.180 There are some conservatives in politics and the media who just want to recite the talking points

00:37:01.320 to the Amen Chorus among the already converted, but that's not what I want to do. I want to reach out

00:37:06.540 to you libs, and I want to pull you over. So that's great. I'm glad you liked the video. Okay.

00:37:11.280 Speaking of things that can kill you, beyond Britney's kitchen knives, the Wuhan Institute of

00:37:18.880 Virology says that another coronavirus outbreak is highly likely. And they would know, wouldn't they?

00:37:27.380 Study published by scientists at the Wuhan Institute in July, reportedly circulating widely on Chinese

00:37:34.020 social media, has concluded that as many as 20 species of coronavirus are highly likely to cause

00:37:41.420 an outbreak among humans. Right about on time. Yeah. Yeah, that's because you see the election is in

00:37:50.640 about 13 months. So this is right, right about on time. The study appeared in emerging microbes and

00:37:58.420 infections in July, the South China Morning Post noted. But it began making headlines in Chinese

00:38:04.180 language media as social media users discovered it and began spreading its conclusions online.

00:38:09.460 What are they saying? They're saying, quote, this is according to the study. It is almost certain

00:38:13.840 that there will be future disease emergence and is highly likely a COVID, coronavirus, disease again.

00:38:21.980 Thus, the early preparation for the animal COVIDs with risk of spillover is important for future

00:38:27.900 disease preparedness regarding the likely animal origin of SARS, MERS, and COVID-19. I don't want to sound

00:38:33.700 like a conspiracy theorist. I didn't bring my tinfoil hat with me to Washington, D.C. You remember right

00:38:40.280 before the outbreak of COVID, there was that big exercise with scientists and government officials and

00:38:47.560 NGOs where they just did a test run of what it would look like if a coronavirus spread throughout the

00:38:54.240 world and caused a mass pandemic and a shutdown of governments and economies, you know, and then it just

00:39:00.120 happened almost immediately thereafter. It would seem reasonable to conclude from such an exercise that

00:39:06.980 something was likely to happen. Well, I think that's what we're seeing here. They're telling us what's going to

00:39:14.640 happen. And you can take the most extreme view of it and say they're planning it and they're

00:39:19.400 intentionally going to release it and it's going to, it's to shut down the election. Or you could just

00:39:24.760 say, yeah, look, they're, the Wuhan Institute of Virology is just like all human institutions is kind of

00:39:32.760 weak and fallen. And when you're dealing with very dangerous things, sometimes they leak and we're just,

00:39:39.040 they're, it's a prediction rather than a promise. Either way, maybe you're somewhere in the middle

00:39:43.160 between those two polls. Either way, I think, I think COVID is going to happen again. Are the

00:39:49.700 people willing to go along with it? I have friends of mine, conservative friends who lived through

00:39:55.400 2020, 2021, 2022, who insist, oh, Michael, the people will never go along with COVID again.

00:40:04.400 What are you talking about? No, Michael, they'll, they learned their lesson. You think they learned

00:40:08.420 their lesson? No, they didn't. I have liberal friends who are wearing masks right now already.

00:40:12.500 They're not even mandated yet. Even after we were told the masks don't really work, even after we

00:40:17.780 were told that the vaccines don't really work, even after we were told that the social distancing was

00:40:21.940 completely arbitrary, they're already doing it again. People's memories are very, very short

00:40:27.380 and people just kind of follow the leader. That's why political power is so important is we're not all

00:40:34.020 just hyper individualists who, you know, form all of our own conclusions and write long treatises about,

00:40:39.480 about what we think about every aspect of society. If that were true, we wouldn't get out of bed in

00:40:44.220 the morning. People just basically follow the leader and the established powers and the established

00:40:50.320 powers over in China, China, and here in the United States and the Fauci's and the NIH's and the

00:40:56.500 public health officials in New York and Lionsgate in California and Morris Brown College in Atlanta

00:41:03.580 and Rutgers and New Jersey, they're all just starting to do COVID again and people probably

00:41:11.020 will just go along with it. Now, speaking of death, Rupert Murdoch has stepped down. I meant to get to

00:41:18.880 this story last week. I'm glad that I can get to it right now. Rupert Murdoch is 92 years old. He's not

00:41:23.680 dead. He's not dying as far as I can tell, but the very fact that he gave up his media empire

00:41:28.700 makes me think, you know, the man perhaps is not long for this world. Rupert Murdoch was chairman of

00:41:34.660 the board of Fox Corporation and News Corporation. This guy is the most important media mogul of our

00:41:40.820 entire time. He has been a rock star in shaping public opinion for seven decades. One cannot overstate

00:41:50.660 Rupert Murdoch's influence. His career began in 1952, okay, when he took over running the news, which was

00:41:58.680 a small newspaper in South Australia that was owned by his father and he's just taken over the entire

00:42:06.640 news ever since. Now he's 92. He's leaving the company to his son, Lachlan Murdoch, and we'll see

00:42:12.940 if they are able to maintain their dominance. I'm not convinced that they are. Actually, I think

00:42:17.180 Fox has kind of slipped in recent years. Many of you think that too. A lot of people have tuned out

00:42:21.760 in part because Fox has moved to the left, in part because people are just cutting cable.

00:42:26.680 The reason the Murdoch story matters is because the media landscape is changing dramatically.

00:42:37.620 And media changes don't just happen gradually. They happen pretty suddenly. You've got the age of

00:42:44.300 radio, then you got the age of TV. Doesn't mean that radio goes away, but it loses its primacy in terms of

00:42:50.760 shaping public opinion. You've got the age of TV. Then you've got the age of the internet. Then you've got

00:42:57.080 the age of streaming internet. And as these things have shifted, and you've got the age of Twitter, which is

00:43:02.800 where most people get their news now anyway. As these things have shifted, people just totally turn away.

00:43:08.080 I have, I appear on cable news with some frequency. I have never personally subscribed to cable, ever.

00:43:18.840 My parents had cable when I was a kid. Some friends have had cable. I have never in my whole life.

00:43:25.100 And I'm on cable. And I don't do, young people just don't watch that stuff.

00:43:30.380 And the reason that matters is not just because of how people are entertained, but because,

00:43:35.400 especially in a democracy, the media shapes the whole political order.

00:43:41.260 This is why it was so crucial that Elon Musk buy X, formerly known as Twitter.

00:43:48.020 Whoever controls the media, whoever controls the language, is going to control politics.

00:43:54.820 And Rupert Murdoch did a good job of giving conservatives a little bit of a shot to maybe

00:44:00.540 fight against the total domination in the media by the libs, a little tiny sliver. But now we're in a

00:44:06.340 totally new landscape. And the shifts in media are going to predict shifts in the political order.
