The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1346 - Libs Melt Down as Biden Begs for MAGA Border Wall

00:00:00.000 Hey, you remember when Joe Biden and his entire administration said that they would never,

00:00:05.040 ever build another foot of border wall because walls don't work?

00:00:10.820 There will not be another foot of wall constructed in my administration.

00:00:15.780 We have talked about the border wall here in general as a way that it's been used to close

00:00:24.200 the border, and we feel that it is a policy that doesn't work.

00:00:27.500 I stand by the decision of this administration to cease construction of the wall.

00:00:34.500 Walls don't work.

00:00:36.100 We won't build them.

00:00:37.720 Very clear declarations.

00:00:40.040 Just as clear, in fact, as the Biden administration's declaration yesterday, that there is an urgent

00:00:49.120 need to build more wall.

00:00:50.520 According to a notice of determination just sent out by Biden's DHS Secretary Alejandro

00:00:57.080 Mayorkas, quote, there is presently an acute and immediate need to construct physical barriers

00:01:03.980 and roads in the vicinity of the border of the United States in order to prevent unlawful

00:01:08.860 entries into the United States.

00:01:10.920 It turns out walls and fences do, in fact, work, which, of course, has always been the

00:01:20.160 case.

00:01:21.100 The Democrat argument never even made sense.

00:01:23.920 Democrats claimed that the border wall built under Trump was cruel.

00:01:27.760 But if the border wall were cruel, that would imply that it worked, that it actually accomplished

00:01:34.340 something, and the thing it accomplished was cruel.

00:01:37.140 But they simultaneously argued that it didn't work, that it didn't stop people from coming

00:01:41.660 in, which would mean that walls and fences are not cruel because they don't do anything.

00:01:48.260 They're not good or bad.

00:01:49.120 They just don't do anything.

00:01:49.860 But they do work, and they'll work this time, too.

00:01:54.840 They will work to stop illegal immigrants. 1.00

00:01:57.980 For Democrats, that's a bad thing.

00:01:59.920 But they will also work to stop Joe Biden's crumbling approval numbers, which for Democrats

00:02:05.500 is a necessary thing if they want to hold on to power.

00:02:09.700 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:02:10.400 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:02:19.860 Welcome back to the show.

00:02:31.640 A New York University professor has just suggested that we ought to teach mating dynamics to young

00:02:38.560 men who are so hooked on porn and AI sex robots that they don't know how to speak to women.

00:02:44.240 We'll get to that.

00:02:45.720 Not terrible suggestion in a moment.

00:02:47.700 First, though, speaking of establishing proper boundaries, protesters just swarmed Vivek

00:02:53.500 Ramaswamy while he was on the campaign trail.

00:02:56.300 And Vivek, in characteristic form, answers all of their questions before one of them rammed

00:03:03.320 into him with a car.

00:03:04.780 Do you think Ukraine should be free?

00:03:06.880 Ukraine should be a sovereign nation.

00:03:08.860 Absolutely.

00:03:09.520 So how is the U.S. going to negotiate a path to peace that allows Ukraine to come out 1.00

00:03:17.580 with its sovereignty intact?

00:03:19.340 Well, what does that sovereignty look like to you?

00:03:20.880 A hard commitment that NATO will not admit Ukraine.

00:03:22.440 What does that sovereignty look like to you?

00:03:23.740 A hard commitment that NATO.

00:03:24.580 What does that sovereignty look like to you?

00:03:26.040 I'm answering the question.

00:03:28.040 Whenever you're, tell me when you're done and then I'll answer the question.

00:03:30.320 Yeah, answer the question.

00:03:32.200 NATO will not admit Ukraine to NATO and should not admit Ukraine to NATO.

00:03:35.920 Because we made a commitment in 1990, and I believe in standing by our commitments, that

00:03:41.760 NATO would not expand one inch, not one inch past East Germany.

00:03:45.180 James Baker told Gordon Johnson.

00:03:46.540 It was a commitment that it would not expand its territories.

00:03:49.120 What I want to say is I'm very glad that young people are engaged and passionate about

00:03:56.640 these issues.

00:03:57.340 So the fact of the matter is, I believe it's a same of our commitments, but the job of

00:04:00.940 the U.S. presidents to look after U.S. interests and have a reasonable path to peace.

00:04:05.080 That ginger punk is getting my blood boiling because Vivek is, of any presidential candidate 1.00

00:04:12.620 in the race, Vivek is the most gracious about answering people's questions, debating openly,

00:04:17.720 and he's trying to answer the question.

00:04:19.440 And this kid won't stop speaking and is just mouthing off to his better.

00:04:23.960 It's just so outrageous.

00:04:26.280 That NYU professor wants to teach mating dynamics.

00:04:29.220 We need to teach respect.

00:04:30.960 We need to teach civility.

00:04:32.820 We need to teach punks having some proper attitude toward their betters and people who

00:04:38.660 are graciously answering questions.

00:04:39.960 But anyway, that's a, that's a minor point.

00:04:42.040 Vivek graciously answers the questions.

00:04:44.000 And then one of these punks gets in his car, flips off Vivek and rams his car into Vivek's

00:04:52.360 car.

00:04:52.600 And you can tell it's a liberal car that, that did the ramming because there are all

00:04:58.220 these sorts of silly bumper stickers all over it and, and hits the back of Vivek's car.

00:05:02.260 Vivek's fine.

00:05:02.800 Uh, the person who did this needs to go to prison for a long time.

00:05:10.780 Look, it's great that maybe Vivek's got a little whiplash or something.

00:05:14.160 I don't even know if he was in the car at the time, but he's okay.

00:05:17.760 This is political violence.

00:05:19.780 This, this, this is along the spectrum of assassination.

00:05:24.560 Okay.

00:05:24.960 This, this is establishing the principle that if, if you pose a question to a presidential

00:05:31.920 candidate and the presidential candidate even answers you and you don't like that answer

00:05:35.300 that you can commit violence against that person.

00:05:37.760 Vivek's got two small kids.

00:05:39.340 What if those two kids were in the car?

00:05:41.860 A grown man can handle being hit in the back of a car at a relatively low speed.

00:05:47.540 What if it were a little kid?

00:05:48.500 What if he weren't in his seat, right?

00:05:49.520 What if any of these things, something could have gone really, really wrong here.

00:05:53.000 And according to the news reports this morning, the protesters got off the hook.

00:05:58.160 Oh, they said it was an accident.

00:05:59.440 No big deal.

00:06:00.460 That protester should rot in prison for years.

00:06:04.120 That is not, not only an attempt at committing violence against a presidential candidate.

00:06:08.940 That is violence.

00:06:10.560 That's serious violence.

00:06:11.640 And someone could have gotten seriously hurt if not killed.

00:06:15.420 But our liberal ruling class doesn't care about that. 1.00

00:06:18.520 Our liberal ruling class encouraged protesters just like those punks and even more violent

00:06:23.980 than those punks to burn the country down for eight months and to loot and to steal and

00:06:30.880 to assault and to murder people.

00:06:32.820 Dozens of people were killed in the BLM riots that were encouraged by our liberal establishment where

00:06:39.540 the rioters were bailed out of jail by the vice president of the United States, the current

00:06:45.800 vice president, Kamala Harris, by staff members for the president of the United States, Joe Biden.

00:06:50.280 This is not an example of, wow, look how far things have gotten.

00:06:56.200 Someone hit Vivek's car.

00:06:57.500 We got to pull back a little.

00:06:58.700 This is a promise of things to come if the conservatives continue to pull well in this

00:07:03.200 election.

00:07:03.700 It's going to get a lot worse than this if the liberals feel that they're going to lose

00:07:07.280 their grip on power.

00:07:09.100 We got to talk about that.

00:08:16.340 Speaking of public office and death, John Kirby, who is the spokesman for the NSC, he previously

00:08:25.740 was a spokesman at the Pentagon.

00:08:27.380 Now he's just in another sort of version of that role at the National Security Council.

00:08:31.620 John Kirby was asked about Senator Tommy Tuberville's hold on top brass military confirmations because

00:08:40.420 the military is now insisting on paying service members to travel out of state to kill their

00:08:46.660 children.

00:08:47.240 And Senator Tuberville says, this is completely insane.

00:08:50.160 This is not what the American people want.

00:08:51.740 This is contrary to our values.

00:08:54.200 And so we're going to hold up the confirmations of the very tippy top brass at the Pentagon

00:08:58.260 until you guys get rid of this new and completely insane policy.

00:09:02.340 So the Pentagon is at a standstill in terms of its promotions.

00:09:07.220 Reporter asks John Kirby, hey, is the Pentagon going to cave to the senator and the desires

00:09:12.480 of the people and the civilian political order?

00:09:14.340 Here is John Kirby's response.

00:09:16.860 Isn't keeping that abortion policy in place an effect of superseding national security?

00:09:22.600 How?

00:09:23.320 I'm not sure I understand.

00:09:25.040 You want to get the nominations through, right?

00:09:28.440 You take back the policy.

00:09:29.560 Oh, so you, so the suggestion is that we should just turn our backs.

00:09:33.740 No, I get it.

00:09:34.400 I didn't say it was yours.

00:09:35.200 But the suggestion is we should just turn our backs on one in five of every, every person

00:09:39.860 in the United States military, let alone their family members, just so we can get these officers

00:09:44.680 confirmed.

00:09:45.360 That's the suggestion that I think you're-

00:09:47.620 Put a pause here, please.

00:09:50.360 One in five members of the U.S. military is regularly killing her children?

00:09:57.380 One in-

00:09:57.940 I don't believe that statistic.

00:09:59.300 I don't think one in five members of the U.S. military at any given time is murdering her

00:10:05.620 children.

00:10:06.100 Does Kirby mean that one in five members of the military is a woman and that a woman essentially 0.94

00:10:12.000 needs the right, quote unquote, to kill her children? 1.00

00:10:15.040 What the hell is he talking about?

00:10:16.840 And that just would be an egregious violation of the covenant that we make, the military makes,

00:10:23.140 the people that sign up and volunteer.

00:10:24.540 Covenant to murder children.

00:10:25.720 Remember this.

00:10:26.540 They're volunteers.

00:10:27.960 There's not conscription.

00:10:28.880 There's no draft.

00:10:30.380 People volunteer for this.

00:10:31.900 And when they volunteer for that duty, they have every right to expect that they're going

00:10:34.960 to get the health care they need.

00:10:36.040 And let me tell you something else.

00:10:37.080 A healthy force is a ready force.

00:10:38.980 So don't talk to me about national security being impaired.

00:10:42.700 The one impairing national security is Senator Chubberville.

00:10:46.780 Okay, Senator Chubberville, who doesn't understand that if our military servicemen and women cannot

00:10:53.620 slaughter American children willy-nilly whenever they want, regardless of state laws, then we're 0.50

00:10:59.060 not going to be ready to go fight proxy wars for Ukraine or whatever we're doing now.

00:11:05.400 That's crazy.

00:11:07.100 That's crazy.

00:11:07.920 That is crazy.

00:11:09.820 The purpose of the United States military is to kill our enemies.

00:11:15.500 The purpose of the United States military is not to kill our own children.

00:11:19.820 If top brass at the Pentagon is confused on this matter, then the top brass at the Pentagon

00:11:29.260 needs to go.

00:11:31.320 And at the very least, they're not going to get their promotions, and they're not going

00:11:35.140 to get their confirmations.

00:11:36.440 I generally like John Kirby.

00:11:38.460 He's fine.

00:11:39.500 He's got an impossible job flacking for this awful administration that has very evil priorities

00:11:45.220 at the top of their list.

00:11:46.300 So I have a bit of pity for him, but this answer was egregious, absolutely egregious.

00:11:53.440 He talks about the sacred covenant that we've made with our service members.

00:11:59.740 Get those words out of your mouth.

00:12:02.120 Get those words out of your blasphemous, sacrilegious mouth.

00:12:05.620 Sacred covenant to murder children?

00:12:07.900 That's a sacred covenant with Moloch.

00:12:09.400 That's a sacred covenant with the Baals. 0.96

00:12:11.800 It's a sacred covenant with Baphomet, the devil himself. 0.93

00:12:16.300 It's not a sacred covenant with God.

00:12:17.920 There's nothing sacred about it.

00:12:21.060 Senator Chubberville is a hero.

00:12:22.760 I am so, so pleased that that man is standing up for what is right.

00:12:27.040 What is most basically right, which is that our government should not be, our U.S. military

00:12:34.140 should not be going out of its way to undermine the laws passed by the duly elected representatives

00:12:41.360 of the people of many of these states to protect children from being slaughtered by psychos.

00:12:47.720 Are we the baddies?

00:12:49.000 When did we become the baddies?

00:12:50.300 I don't want to be the baddies.

00:12:51.740 And in as much as top military brass are the baddies, they got to go.

00:12:55.400 I'm now beginning to think not only should we hold up their promotions, we should just fire them.

00:13:01.880 Anyone, anyone who in any way is associated with this egregious policy should be fired,

00:13:09.660 should just be released from the military.

00:13:11.300 Get them out of there.

00:13:12.300 I don't want them anywhere near our military.

00:13:14.500 They're very confused about the purpose of the military, which is to kill the enemy,

00:13:19.220 not to kill the sweet little innocent babies here in America.

00:13:23.040 Quite the opposite.

00:13:24.200 And Kirby's got to go too.

00:13:25.640 Kirby's got to go too.

00:13:26.500 What a disgusting display from him.

00:13:27.980 Speaking of disordered sexual dynamics, a professor at NYU has just suggested a new course for

00:13:37.700 students, which is the teaching of mating dynamics.

00:13:42.800 We used to call this the birds and the bees.

00:13:44.960 You know, you would teach it to like 11-year-olds.

00:13:47.220 But now, because of the stunted development and perpetual adolescence of American people, 0.99

00:13:53.840 now you've got to teach this to 22-year-olds.

00:13:57.020 Now you've got to do probably 25-year-olds.

00:13:58.500 This guy's a business school professor.

00:14:00.440 And I think he's right.

00:14:01.820 I think he's mostly right.

00:14:03.240 Here's his argument.

00:14:04.480 We're developing these digital analogs of life that create low-entry, low-risk relationships.

00:14:11.780 And you think, well, that's not necessarily a bad thing.

00:14:14.040 But it is because it leads to depression.

00:14:16.240 Life is about the victory of taking risks, enduring rejection,

00:14:20.760 and quite frankly, pursuing someone and developing the skills and deciding to put on a clean

00:14:26.660 shirt and maybe shower more often and maybe hit the gym every once in a while and maybe

00:14:31.460 text when you're not sure how this person feels about you and figure out a way to interact

00:14:36.600 with someone around the nuance and develop the skills around human sexuality such that

00:14:41.800 you can develop a relationship.

00:14:43.120 And I think every teenager in high school should have a course as part of health on mating dynamics 0.93

00:14:50.840 where they teach, especially young men, that approaching a woman and expressing romantic

00:14:55.440 interests while making her feel safe is a skill.

00:14:59.140 And there's nothing wrong with that.

00:15:00.940 And at the end game, a relationship, a partner, a romantic partner is one of the keys to a happy life.

00:15:08.240 Like, this guy is almost totally right.

00:15:14.720 This guy is, it's not just 50% right, he is 70% right.

00:15:19.500 The only thing I disagree with him on is the phrase mating dynamics.

00:15:24.880 Is that makes us sound like animals.

00:15:28.460 Makes us sound like gorillas.

00:15:30.680 Makes us sound like horses.

00:15:32.800 I don't know, we got that in it.

00:15:33.760 And here we are.

00:15:34.860 We have the NYU student approaching the young girl at a coffee shop.

00:15:40.980 Let's see what kind of weird depraved stuff he does that's really, really embarrassing to both of them.

00:15:47.280 Yes.

00:15:47.760 That's what you would see today in a nature documentary on young people's mating dynamics.

00:15:52.940 And people do need to learn it.

00:15:54.000 But what we call that in a more human sense is courtship.

00:15:58.280 What we call that in a human sense is romance.

00:16:00.200 So what we call that in a human sense is being normal and being a red-blooded man talking to a lady. 0.67

00:16:06.200 It's not just mating dynamics. 0.85

00:16:08.380 It's not just, because we're not just beasts.

00:16:11.500 We're human beings.

00:16:12.620 And so there's more to it.

00:16:13.740 But his broader point is right.

00:16:14.900 When he says having a good romantic partner is a key to a happy life, let's take that up to the human level again.

00:16:24.020 Having a spouse is an important aspect of a happy life.

00:16:27.240 Not everybody gets married.

00:16:28.780 Marriage is not for every single person.

00:16:31.200 Some people have a consecrated single life.

00:16:34.920 Some people are called to religious life, priesthood, to some kind of religious order.

00:16:41.000 But for most people, marriage is what you're called to.

00:16:44.200 And marriage is higher than just a romantic, committed relationship.

00:16:47.820 And I'm not being pedantic here, and I'm not splitting hairs.

00:16:50.660 The reason that distinction is important is because if we continue to approach the relationship between the sexes as nothing more than animals grunting, trying to get what they want, then we're going to maintain this dysfunction that we're in.

00:17:07.160 We have to recognize that we're human beings, and we're called to a higher sort of mating dynamic between men and women, both of whom are made in the image and likeness of God.

00:17:17.240 The reason that he thinks this needs to be taught now, though, is clear enough.

00:17:21.680 It's because of ubiquitous online porn and because of the apparent advent of these AI sex chatbots, which is something, mercifully, I don't know anything about.

00:17:34.580 I didn't even believe this was really a thing until I read a news story on it.

00:17:37.680 I brought it up on the show, I think, last week.

00:17:39.300 And it's at once extremely sad and pathetic, and I have a deep well of pity for anyone who is using these tools.

00:17:49.260 But I get how it could be tempting.

00:17:53.280 I do.

00:17:54.000 All the other commentary on these AI weird chatbot things is how pathetic it is, and these guys are just big losers and they're incels. 0.51

00:18:00.520 And sure, maybe all that's true.

00:18:02.260 But I get how it's tempting.

00:18:03.800 I get how it's tempting.

00:18:04.500 These chatbots, according to at least the articles I've read about them, they develop to tailor their language specifically to your desires, to your tastes, to preferences that you might not even know that you have.

00:18:20.160 The deck is really stacked against you.

00:18:22.460 The deck is really stacked against young men.

00:18:24.420 How are young men supposed to acclimate and become accultured in a normal way, in a good, flourishing way, in a world that plies them with ubiquitous porn, that plies them with the Me Too movement BS that says if you ever smile at a girl and she doesn't like you, she can accuse you of rape.

00:18:43.420 That plies you with all of these weird chat robots and things to distract you and take your attention away.

00:18:51.720 And that plies you with the lies of the hookup culture, that when you do actually meet a girl, you can never pursue her in a normal way.

00:19:00.420 You've just got to get completely blackout drunk or do some drugs or something and then have a hookup and then hope she doesn't regret it because then you'll be expelled from school and possibly go to prison for rape.

00:19:09.960 That's tough.

00:19:13.380 This is where I have some sympathy for the red pill guys.

00:19:16.240 Because then, by the way, if you do get married, the legal deck is stacked against you where you have a regime of no-fault divorce where the woman could take your money and your kids at any given time.

00:19:26.500 And that's very scary.

00:19:28.220 I think there are ways to greatly mitigate that risk.

00:19:31.300 This is where I differ from the red pill guys, which is they observe that divorce rates are sometimes in the 40s, not quite 50%, but a little under that.

00:19:41.460 And that might be true.

00:19:42.920 But among Catholics, it's at least 10 points lower than that.

00:19:46.180 Among traditional Catholics, it's virtually nil.

00:19:50.200 I suspect those numbers hold true for other seriously-minded religious communities.

00:19:55.540 Orthodox Jews, for instance.

00:19:56.780 I don't think the Hasids are divorcing at a 50% rate.

00:20:01.120 Far from it, of course.

00:20:03.880 There are things that you can do.

00:20:05.480 There are ways that you can live your life that will mitigate these risks and that will be more conducive to human flourishing.

00:20:10.940 That's what this professor is talking about.

00:20:12.560 And this guy is right.

00:20:13.640 He's at a top school, NYU, Stern School of Business.

00:20:17.060 And he's absolutely right.

00:20:19.620 But what does it profit a man to learn how to make a bunch of money or be a management consultant or make widgets at the widget factory if he loses his soul and loses the prospect of having a wife and a family and a good life?

00:20:32.020 It doesn't look good.

00:22:35.800 My favorite comment yesterday is from CoolPapaJMagic, who often has,

00:22:38.600 he probably has been read on this show more than any other commenter on YouTube.

00:22:42.720 CoolPapaJMagic says,

00:22:43.700 This title just makes me think of Jesse Lee Peterson.

00:22:47.740 That's true.

00:22:48.460 The title yesterday was about lesbians. 1.00

00:22:51.340 And lesbian is my friend Jesse Lee Peterson's absolute favorite word.

00:22:55.980 There's a great clip.

00:22:56.700 I can't find it anymore.

00:22:57.720 I think it was scrubbed from the internet of him explaining Black Lives Matter to Piers Morgan on his old British talk show.

00:23:04.040 And Jesse says, I'm only slightly paraphrasing.

00:23:08.500 I think he said, Black Lives Matter is an agitated Marxist organization founded by a bunch of black lesbians. 0.94

00:23:13.340 But he says like lesbians because he gets a kick out of the word.

00:23:17.140 So anyway, yes, the title was in no small part a nod to Jesse.

00:23:22.980 Speaking of all these dynamics, speaking of breakups, there's a poll out of Reuters Ipsos that shows most Americans do not support arming Ukraine.

00:23:37.840 Only 41% of Americans support arming Ukraine.

00:23:43.200 Very different from what we had been told about the beliefs of the American people even six months ago, even among Republicans.

00:23:49.840 The conservatives have always been a little skeptical about America's role in this war in Ukraine.

00:23:56.340 But we were told the vast majority of Americans support arming Ukraine, support Ukraine.

00:24:03.020 They think Zelensky is Winston Churchill.

00:24:04.940 This is the fight of our generation.

00:24:07.400 Don't be Neville Chamberlain.

00:24:09.140 We've got to go out there and send all our money to Ukraine.

00:24:12.640 Even Republicans, we were told.

00:24:15.140 Polls don't seem to reflect that.

00:24:16.260 This poll was conducted Tuesday and Wednesday.

00:24:20.120 41% of respondents said the U.S. should provide weapons to Ukraine.

00:24:24.720 That's down from 65% back in June.

00:24:28.300 Democrats who are more likely to support arming Ukraine, their support dropped from 81% down all the way to 52%.

00:24:36.040 So just a bare, barely a majority of Democrats support arming Ukraine.

00:24:41.340 And among Republicans, support dropped from 56%.

00:24:44.160 So previously you had a majority down to only 35%.

00:24:48.200 And then, this is crucial, independents who previously favored supporting Ukraine even more than the Republicans did.

00:24:54.260 This was 57%.

00:24:55.280 They dropped down to 44%.

00:24:57.560 Why?

00:24:58.100 What is this about?

00:24:58.740 I actually think I get both sides of the argument with Ukraine.

00:25:04.220 People feel very passionately about the Ukraine issue.

00:25:07.060 I don't feel that passionately about the Ukraine issue.

00:25:09.020 And I think that I can see both sides relatively clearly.

00:25:12.160 The pro-arm Ukraine side is America is an empire.

00:25:15.820 We benefit from being an empire and a global hegemon.

00:25:18.580 We need to project strength at all times.

00:25:20.720 And that involves pushing back the Russians and degrading their military. 0.72

00:25:26.620 And we're going to do that not because we really even want Ukraine to be a territory of ours.

00:25:31.300 We just want to throw our weight around in the world and make sure that people keep doing what we say that we want them to do.

00:25:37.940 Okay.

00:25:38.400 That's fine.

00:25:39.500 The anti-arm Ukraine argument is that we are on the brink of World War III.

00:25:43.940 And that the United States actually did in some ways provoke Russia in Ukraine because the United States funded the Maidan revolution in 2014.

00:25:53.140 And we had the leader of the CIA land in Kiev something like two weeks after the Maidan revolution.

00:25:58.320 And we have said for years that we would not be expanding NATO eastward because NATO is a purely defensive alliance, not an aggressive alliance.

00:26:05.940 Even though NATO has taken offensive, aggressive actions on a number of times in the past.

00:26:10.980 And we have moved east and we're now right up on the border of the former Soviet Union on Russia.

00:26:16.900 And we're now meddling a little bit more in the breadbasket of Europe.

00:26:21.420 And we have Joe Biden on camera saying that he was throwing his weight around and got a Russian, a Ukrainian prosecutor fired because they were investigating the bribes that were being sent to the Biden family by Ukraine.

00:26:32.160 So anyway, I get that side of the argument too.

00:26:35.980 Both sides have some weight to them.

00:26:38.460 The way that the American people feel about this now, I think, is more a function of time than ideology.

00:26:45.840 Had this been the middle of the 20th century, we'd be throwing our weight around in Ukraine. 0.97

00:26:50.260 No problem.

00:26:51.280 No big deal.

00:26:52.040 It wouldn't even be a second thought.

00:26:54.100 We can't do that now.

00:26:56.900 Because liberalism has eroded our national unity and our self-confidence and our sense of purpose.

00:27:03.500 And to some degree, even our ability to project power around the world.

00:27:07.820 That's why.

00:27:08.460 Back in the middle of the 20th century, there was broad agreement about who we were, what we were about, what America means, truth, justice, and the American way.

00:27:16.080 We're a Christian nation.

00:27:17.180 We're the good guys.

00:27:18.240 Those godless commies are the evil guys.

00:27:20.140 We're going to stop them at every turn.

00:27:22.180 There was agreement about that.

00:27:24.720 Moral, religious, political.

00:27:26.840 We were generally together.

00:27:28.740 Now we're not.

00:27:29.480 Now the United States is basically nothing more, at least in the minds of many people, including our rulers, we're basically nothing more than an economic zone of disconnected individuals.

00:27:43.360 Yeah, we don't need borders.

00:27:44.520 Anybody can be an American.

00:27:45.840 Anybody can come.

00:27:46.500 Anybody is an American, for that matter.

00:27:48.720 What do we care about?

00:27:49.640 We care about making money.

00:27:50.860 And we care about GDP ticking up a little.

00:27:52.940 We need to open the borders because we need GDP to tick up a little bit.

00:27:55.900 Because we don't have kids anymore, because we don't have families, because we abolish the family.

00:27:59.820 We don't need a firm definition of family that's existed for all of history because individuals want to do whatever they want.

00:28:05.360 And individuals have the right to define whatever they want.

00:28:07.880 Individuals can not only define the nation.

00:28:10.520 They can not only define their own sense of purpose.

00:28:13.060 They can define marriage.

00:28:14.460 They can define what it means to be a man.

00:28:15.960 They can define what it means to be a woman. 0.99

00:28:17.400 And who are you to stop them?

00:28:18.560 We're all just individuals, man.

00:28:20.340 Okay, fine.

00:28:21.140 That's the argument.

00:28:22.880 Great nations can maintain empires.

00:28:25.460 Economic zones of disconnected individuals cannot.

00:28:31.240 That's why we're flopping in Ukraine.

00:28:34.300 We're flopping in and about Ukraine.

00:28:37.980 That's why these poll numbers are going down.

00:28:40.800 Because great nations need a sense of purpose.

00:28:45.080 They need unity.

00:28:46.600 They need borders.

00:28:47.980 They need a distinction between citizen and foreigner. 0.62

00:28:51.020 They need a coherent religion.

00:28:53.900 They need good, proper objects of worship.

00:28:57.300 They at least need clear objects of worship.

00:28:59.380 Even if it's an evil empire, they at least need to know what they're worshiping.

00:29:02.980 And it's got to be more than just hedonistic pleasure in the almighty dollar.

00:29:06.760 And really, truly great nations need to worship the true God, which we've done.

00:29:12.540 We've done that in our past.

00:29:13.860 And we don't do that now.

00:29:15.260 And so we're just extremely confused.

00:29:17.980 And we feel very disconnected.

00:29:19.460 And we feel like nothing more than alienated individuals just kind of pursuing our own economic interest as economic man.

00:29:30.060 Okay, well, that kind of a country is not going to maintain an empire far-flung overseas on the border of Russia.

00:29:36.120 It's not going to work.

00:29:37.460 The people are not going to desire that.

00:29:39.520 So the only way that it's going to continue is if the permanent government, the State Department, deep state types, just keep waging the war in Ukraine and just keep sending money over there, even if the Congress doesn't want to send money.

00:29:50.380 Jim Jordan, who's up for speaker right now, he said Ukraine aid is not on his priority list.

00:29:58.080 So what's going to happen?

00:29:59.320 Maybe the U.S. deep state just keeps sending money over there by doing what they did six months ago and pretending that the cost of the arms that we'd already sent was actually lower than we thought of.

00:30:09.640 So we say, okay, the cost of the arms was actually lower, which means we've just discovered $6 billion that was already appropriated, so we're going to just send more weapons over there.

00:30:17.080 They can pull those tricks for a little bit.

00:30:18.780 Maybe they can pull it for a long time, but then the distinction between the ruling class and the ruled is going to grow even more.

00:30:26.200 Speaking of strange statistics, here's one.

00:30:28.680 I guess I'm going to have to just tease this one because we've got to get to the mailbag.

00:30:33.600 But this is a weird one.

00:30:35.560 Gen Z, the Zoomers, my beloved Zoomers, are drinking much less. 0.99

00:30:40.820 And the way it's being reported, here's how it's being reported in the Wall Street Journal.

00:30:44.480 When did rock concerts become tame?

00:30:46.900 Thank alcohol-free Gen Z. 1.00

00:30:50.320 Conspicuous teetotaling is now prevalent at hot acts.

00:30:53.480 See, this is why you should all really be sober, says a 24-year-old at one of these concerts.

00:30:57.080 So there's this idea that Zoomers are sober, unlike millennials who are boozehounds and Gen X and boomers. 1.00

00:31:06.760 The Zoomers, they're sober.

00:31:08.660 And that is not true.

00:31:09.740 This is all being erroneously reported.

00:31:11.680 It's true that the Zoomers are drinking less, which could be good. 1.00

00:31:15.520 It could be a good thing, maybe, if the kind of drinking that was going on were abusive or excessive.

00:31:22.480 But the problem is the Zoomers, they're not sober. 0.97

00:31:25.700 They're just trading one vice for another vice and for a worse vice.

00:31:28.760 They're not alcoholics.

00:31:30.560 They're potheads, which we'll have to get to on Monday, I guess.

00:31:34.700 Maybe sometime next week.

00:31:35.900 I don't know when we'll get to it.

00:31:37.040 Who doesn't love a good Columbus Day sale?

00:31:38.520 It's Columbus Day.

00:31:39.240 That's Monday.

00:31:39.680 That's a big day.

00:32:17.240 Take it away.

00:32:18.680 Hey there, Michael.

00:32:19.340 I've been thinking about the Red Pill's view on marriage, and while I certainly don't agree that we should discontinue marriages and just totally further destroy the institution of marriage,

00:32:30.140 I do see some value in what they say in regards to the fact that there needs to be some pressure put on society at large, and especially women, to reject feminism.

00:32:42.000 And women traditionally have always valued the benefits of marriage more so than men, I would say.

00:32:48.040 Because, you know, in a way, I think women benefit more from marriage than men, or at least on a kind of surface-level analysis, that's the case.

00:33:00.640 So I think that there needs to be a kind of a consequence for the whole feminist movement, and we can't just say, oh, let's go back to the 1950s, and, you know, that's not going to put enough pressure on anyone to actually move and make a decision.

00:33:16.280 So as a purely political matter, I do see some value in what the Red Pill community says with their issues with marriage.

00:33:22.940 And that's it.

00:33:23.720 Of course, I do value marriage in and of itself.

00:33:26.820 But anyway, thank you.

00:33:30.160 Okay, I think I appreciate your feelings, but I think you're contradicting yourself here.

00:33:37.220 You're saying, I appreciate marriage.

00:33:39.460 I value marriage in and of itself.

00:33:41.660 Okay, well, then that's the end of discussion.

00:33:43.180 Then the Red Pill guys are wrong about it, because they're saying don't get married.

00:33:46.320 But you're saying marriage is a good thing in itself. 0.80

00:33:50.220 And I agree with that.

00:33:51.580 Marriage is a symbol of the love that Christ has for his church.

00:33:55.900 Marriage is essential to human nature in that human beings are not only the social creature, the political creature, but also a coupling creature.

00:34:05.340 And the sexes are complementary.

00:34:06.720 And the way that the species propagates itself is through marriage, through the union of one man and one woman in holy matrimony forever.

00:34:18.260 Till death do they part.

00:34:20.060 So it's good.

00:34:21.160 But the error that I think you're falling into, that the Red Pill guys fall into, is the same error that they accuse everyone else of falling into.

00:34:30.020 They're saying, you don't understand how terrible the political situation is.

00:34:34.960 You don't understand how terrible divorce law is.

00:34:37.560 You don't understand how terrible the family courts are.

00:34:39.940 You don't understand how terrible the reality of marriage is for so many men.

00:34:44.920 And that's a political problem.

00:34:46.160 It's not just a personal problem.

00:34:47.140 It's not just solved by finding the right woman.

00:34:49.200 It's not just solved by the right behavior.

00:34:50.660 It's a political problem with terrible incentives and terrible laws.

00:34:54.240 Okay, I agree.

00:34:55.600 So the answer has to be political.

00:34:57.520 But then they go right back to the same kind of quasi-libertarian, just act individually man and ignore the political issues kind of nonsense that got us into this mess in the first place.

00:35:10.300 They say, and that's why you just personally shouldn't get married.

00:35:13.020 No, the conclusion from there is a political problem is bring a political solution.

00:35:17.280 Outlaw no-fault divorce.

00:35:18.720 Change the way the family courts are run.

00:35:20.900 Change the way that marriage is understood.

00:35:23.700 Re-redefine marriage.

00:35:25.380 We had the Supreme Court redefine marriage in this preposterous way not that long ago.

00:35:29.360 Well, okay, let's go back and define it properly.

00:35:32.200 Yeah, those are all political solutions.

00:35:33.480 That doesn't mean that at the personal level you're going to fix that problem, that political problem, by just you not getting married and not having a great life.

00:35:41.020 You also say that women benefit more from marriage.

00:35:43.040 I'm not convinced of that.

00:35:44.640 I'm not convinced of that at all.

00:35:45.940 I've benefited tremendously from my marriage.

00:35:47.840 I'd be in a gutter somewhere, probably, if not for sweet little Elise. 1.00

00:35:50.820 I'd certainly be much more miserable than I am.

00:35:53.800 I'm brimming with joy every day.

00:35:56.080 I've got my beautiful children.

00:35:57.520 I've got my beautiful family.

00:35:58.980 I come home.

00:35:59.580 I get a nice dinner.

00:36:00.340 I get to delight in my wife and my children.

00:36:04.920 Women benefit from marriage, too, but we both benefit from marriage. 0.99

00:36:08.040 It's a benefit to both of us.

00:36:08.900 That's why you say that it's a good in and of itself.

00:36:11.680 Yeah, sure.

00:36:12.680 So let's not be squishy, lib, cucks, and back away and say, oh, I'm not getting married.

00:36:22.360 Until they solve the political problem.

00:36:23.900 No, solve the political problem and also comport yourself and your personal life in a way that is virtuous and conducive to your flourishing.

00:36:29.800 And take steps to mitigate the risks that are imposed upon you by the political problem.

00:36:34.680 You're never going to be totally safe in any political environment.

00:36:37.500 It's a fallen world.

00:36:38.220 So take the steps such as practicing a religion that doesn't even recognize the reality of divorce. 0.95

00:36:46.620 You know, take the steps in your behavior, your religious life, your culture, the community that you're in to protect yourself and then live a flourishing life.

00:36:56.200 Next question.

00:36:56.720 Hey, Dirty Mike, Mr. Reality here.

00:37:00.360 I wanted to get your take on a thought I had regarding Trump's fraud trial in New York.

00:37:04.400 I think we can both agree the trial itself is a fraud.

00:37:06.960 It is unfair.

00:37:07.920 My question is, do you think there is a semblance of justice in the trial, given that it is unfair?

00:37:13.160 Let me explain.

00:37:14.220 While Trump was president, he pushed COVID lockdowns.

00:37:16.720 He put Fauci up again and again to push lockdowns.

00:37:19.520 He slammed Brian Kemp for reopening his state too soon.

00:37:22.100 He called wearing a mask patriotic, etc.

00:37:24.220 Regardless of who actually did the locking down, Trump or state governors, Trump clearly supported and encouraged the lockdowns.

00:37:30.980 In other words, Trump was an unaccountable figure who used his power to unfairly strip Americans of their livelihoods, businesses, and even their homes when they could no longer afford to pay for them because they couldn't work.

00:37:42.060 If justice is, as Aristotle said, giving each their due, and as the Bible says, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

00:37:47.160 Do you think it is justice that now Trump himself is being targeted by an unaccountable figure using his power to unfairly strip Trump of his livelihood, his businesses, and potentially his home?

00:37:56.620 Thanks.

00:37:56.880 Mr. Reality, did you throw your back out stretching that much?

00:38:01.540 I don't know.

00:38:02.720 I share the disappointment with how the lockdowns went down and that President Trump—I'm not convinced any Republican would have done better as president, including certain state governors who opened their states earlier.

00:38:15.300 The pressure on a state governor versus the pressure on the president of the United States is not even remotely comparable.

00:38:19.940 But it's unfortunate.

00:38:21.640 Yeah, it's too bad that Trump elevated Fauci.

00:38:23.360 It's bad stuff.

00:38:24.780 Naughty, naughty.

00:38:25.620 It's bad.

00:38:26.420 I'm not defending that in any way.

00:38:29.400 With any politician, you take the good with the bad.

00:38:31.720 I also didn't like the First Step Act, that Trump had a jailbreak bill.

00:38:34.680 I thought that was unfortunate.

00:38:37.240 So that was the wrong decision.

00:38:39.080 There's no doubt about that.

00:38:41.100 Does that mean, then, that a man should be stripped of his businesses on preposterous and unjust grounds?

00:38:46.260 I don't think so.

00:38:47.760 I don't think so.

00:38:48.400 I mean, many people will fall into that line of thinking because they just don't like Trump and they want to see him destroyed.

00:38:58.540 All of the Democrats and many Republicans are going to feel that way.

00:39:03.440 And there's nothing unnatural about that exactly.

00:39:06.740 That's how democracies tend to work.

00:39:08.800 There's a reason why in ancient Athens, this sort of archetypal democracy in practice, when leaders would fall, they would be ostracized.

00:39:18.740 Even when their vassals and when their lieutenants would fail and fall out of favor, they would be ostracized from the city.

00:39:27.240 That's been true throughout history, true in antiquity, true in the Middle Ages. 0.61

00:39:32.600 It's true now.

00:39:33.980 They could, except now we have to hide it a little bit more.

00:39:37.840 The political order doesn't want to be so transparent in its use of power.

00:39:43.000 So now they're going to use all these little courts to take away Trump's business, to try to throw Trump in prison, to arrest Trump's lawyers, to arrest the lieutenants.

00:39:51.700 I mean, it's the same kind of thing.

00:39:52.800 But instead of just saying, okay, you're banished for 10 years to some Greek island, they're going to say, okay, you've committed an evil crime and you're going to prison.

00:40:00.320 Which is much crueler, it's much harsher in supposedly enlightened modernity than you saw in supposedly backward antiquity. 0.89

00:40:08.720 But no, I don't think that would be just.

00:40:10.400 I do think it is the ordinary operation of democracy, though, taken to its extreme.

00:40:14.060 Next question.

00:40:14.900 Did you know that over 85% of grass-fed beef sold in U.S. grocery stores is imported?

00:40:19.760 That's why I buy all my meat from GoodRanchers.com instead.

00:40:52.840 Hi, Michael.

00:40:53.920 It's the Shugmeister. 0.96

00:40:54.880 Peter, what's your opinion on the Synod on Synodality coming up this October?

00:40:59.400 Still a little unsure of the purpose of it.

00:41:01.500 Something, something, listening more.

00:41:03.100 I understand that more feedback, especially to our local diocese, is probably a good thing.

00:41:07.480 But I'm wondering if some of the bishops from Germany who seem to be in leadership positions

00:41:12.400 for this Synod are going to take this opportunity to reinterpret certain doctrine and dogma that

00:41:17.600 the Catholic Church has held for thousands of years.

00:41:19.580 What should we as Catholics do if there's a schism in the Church?

00:41:23.380 Love the show.

00:41:24.200 Thanks.

00:41:24.880 Thank you.

00:41:25.380 There's a great quote by Hilaire Belloc.

00:41:26.880 I've quoted it often.

00:41:28.680 I have to take it as a matter of faith that the Catholic Church is divinely instituted.

00:41:32.980 But for those who doubt its divine institution, one evidence of that would be that no other

00:41:38.960 institution conducted with such knavish imbecility would have lasted a fortnight. 0.83

00:41:44.820 We ought to pray for the Church.

00:41:46.200 I do not see the Synod on Synodality as improving the situation very much in the near term.

00:41:57.500 But we pray for the Church, and we trust that the Holy Spirit and our Lord will never abandon

00:42:02.320 the Church.

00:42:04.080 Next question.

00:42:04.780 Hey, Dirty Mike.

00:42:06.680 Mr. Reality here.

00:42:07.620 I had a question for you about Trump's poll numbers, specifically from that ABC poll that

00:42:12.420 you talked about on your show on Monday.

00:42:13.800 The ABC polling has a history of being wildly wrong, specifically in 2016.

00:42:18.960 A few weeks before the election, they had Hillary Clinton up double digits over Trump, and we

00:42:23.420 know how that turned out.

00:42:24.900 So my question for you is, given that the mainstream media clearly wants Trump to be

00:42:28.260 the nominee, either for their ratings or because they think he'll be easier for Biden to beat,

00:42:34.900 and given their history of faking polls, which we all know is true, my question is,

00:42:39.860 do you think it could be an effort by the mainstream media to help Trump get elected to make fake

00:42:44.760 polls showing that he is electable?

00:42:47.440 Ben's talked about the underlying numbers on some of these polls that show him winning huge

00:42:51.880 support from black voters, which is unheard of in Republican circles, for example.

00:42:57.580 Do you think the polls could be fake to take out the DeSantis argument, or do you think they're

00:43:01.600 real this time?

00:43:02.440 Thanks.

00:43:02.860 And if you do think they're real, why?

00:43:04.200 Thanks.

00:43:04.880 A poll or two can be fake.

00:43:07.160 The ABC Washington Post poll maybe is off.

00:43:09.860 Is that intentional?

00:43:11.060 Are they incompetent?

00:43:12.120 Is it some combination of the two?

00:43:13.420 Maybe.

00:43:15.020 It's very difficult for all the polls to be this far off.

00:43:21.480 Because it's not just, it's not even like Trump and Hillary, where the polls have Hillary

00:43:25.360 up by a significant but, you know, still not 50-point margin.

00:43:33.940 And the issue with these polls is Trump is so far up in every single one of them everywhere.

00:43:40.540 I mean, even Iowa, the DeSantis campaign is betting its campaign right now.

00:43:43.740 They've moved a huge portion of their campaign staff to Iowa.

00:43:46.820 This is going to be it, which maybe we'll get to it next week.

00:43:49.740 I'm not convinced it's the best strategy, though it might be the only strategy they've

00:43:52.400 got right now.

00:43:52.920 But even in Iowa, Trump is up 49 points.

00:43:56.740 Even among committed delegates, he's up something like two to one.

00:44:00.080 So I would be, I'm as skeptical of the polls as anybody.

00:44:03.900 I just think in this race, you've got to show me any evidence that Trump is not up and up

00:44:13.300 by a lot.

00:44:13.780 And every single indicator would suggest that he is, including the odd historical fact that

00:44:20.360 he's running as a kind of incumbent.

00:44:22.640 So, look, I could be proven wrong.

00:44:26.180 Or something could change in the race that hasn't happened yet.

00:44:29.160 You know, I don't know.

00:44:29.820 Someone could, God forbid, knock off Trump.

00:44:31.940 Or somebody could, Trump could end up in prison.

00:44:34.860 And that would probably only raise his numbers.

00:44:36.460 But maybe it could hurt his numbers.

00:44:37.580 But something could change, and I could be proven wrong.

00:44:40.340 But I just think right now, the followers of other candidates and the promoters of other

00:44:47.580 candidates are grasping at straws for any excuse to believe that Trump is not the frontrunner.

00:44:54.280 But to make that argument, you've got to have some evidence.

00:44:59.340 You say, well, OK, the polls are all wrong, but this piece of evidence suggests, you know,

00:45:04.060 but there just isn't one.

00:45:05.280 Just every single piece of evidence, for better or worse.

00:45:08.700 Maybe you hate Trump.

00:45:09.420 Maybe you love Trump.

00:45:10.080 Maybe you don't even really care about Trump.

00:45:11.420 But for better or worse, it seems like a healthy dose of copium to suggest that all

00:45:17.980 the polls are off by 50 points.

00:45:19.640 OK, we've got more mailbag to get to.

00:45:22.200 We have fake headline Friday to get to.

00:45:23.860 You need to help me.

00:45:24.820 And don't, you can't, you know, you don't say number five or that one or this because

00:45:30.340 the chat, it's delayed.

00:45:31.720 And so you've got to type out the whole headline.

00:45:33.840 But I need your help.
