00:00:37.700 I've got some really disturbing news.
00:00:39.560 This by way of Vice News, which is reporting that neo-Nazis are apparently hijacking the left-wing anti-Israel protests.
00:00:49.140 You see, many pro-Palestine groups on the left, groups such as Black Lives Matter,
00:00:54.080 are excusing and even celebrating Hamas terrorists for slaughtering Israeli civilians,
00:00:59.960 which is totally fine according to the liberal media.
00:01:03.040 But now, the neo-Nazis are doing precisely the same thing, which is evil and must be stopped.
00:01:09.980 Hundreds of thousands of liberals have been rallying in cities around the world
00:01:13.340 in support of the Palestine Liberation Movement and against the state of Israel.
00:01:18.060 That includes liberals, that includes Islamists, that includes all sorts of people
00:01:23.960 that are totally great according to the press.
00:01:26.980 But some neo-Nazis have joined them, which is very bad.
00:01:32.160 Even though the neo-Nazis are doing precisely the same thing with the same rhetoric
00:01:38.020 to advance the same objectives,
00:01:40.040 it is bad when they do it because they're white and on the far right 0.56
00:01:45.100 instead of brown and in the mainstream left.
00:01:48.600 I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:01:50.180 Welcome back to the show.
00:02:10.500 Elon Musk says that George Soros fundamentally hates humanity.
00:02:14.720 I'm sure he'll soon be called an anti-Semite
00:02:16.360 because anytime you criticize the most prominent left-wing funder in the world,
00:02:21.300 people tell you that you just hate the Jews or something like that.
00:02:25.340 Anyway, we'll get to that in just a moment.
00:02:26.660 First, though, this word hijacking is really being used in an interesting way here.
00:02:32.720 Neo-Nazis and the far right are trying to hijack the pro-Palestine.
00:02:35.680 What is the point of the pro-Palestine protests?
00:02:39.160 The main mantra that you hear is,
00:02:41.620 from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,
00:02:43.660 which means abolishing the state of Israel,
00:02:45.160 which plenty of people around the world want to do,
00:02:48.020 including the neo-Nazis.
00:02:50.000 There are plenty of other people who also want to do that,
00:02:52.160 and they're different groups, but they have the same objectives.
00:02:54.480 So how is it hijacking?
00:02:56.460 If a group comes in and says,
00:02:59.800 hey, you guys over there, you distinct group,
00:03:02.800 we support what you believe,
00:03:05.640 we are going to join with you in the actions that you're currently performing,
00:03:09.360 and we hope for the very same objectives that you hope for.
00:03:12.920 How is that hijacking?
00:03:14.020 Hijacking is when you go in and you turn a political movement towards some other ends. 0.94
00:03:19.660 You subvert a political movement.
00:03:20.940 Here, though, it's just the same thing.
00:03:22.700 The only difference is that when the brown people do it, 1.00
00:03:25.100 Vice News says it's good,
00:03:26.220 and when the white skinheads do it, 0.58
00:03:27.960 Vice News says it's bad.
00:03:30.200 Now, if you call me crazy,
00:03:31.280 call me some sort of wild egalitarian.
00:03:34.560 But I think that an action ought to be judged on its intrinsic value,
00:03:39.740 rather than the shade of the people who are performing such an action.
00:03:44.120 But on the issue to the Israel-Palestine conflict,
00:03:46.800 what is the solution?
00:03:48.080 The answer is,
00:03:49.800 there isn't one,
00:03:50.920 as Hamas has made clear.
00:03:52.860 Israel is a country with no place in our land. 1.00
00:03:59.280 We must remove that country because it constitutes a security,
00:04:02.220 military, and political catastrophe to the Arab and Islamic nation.
00:04:06.580 We are not ashamed to say this with full force.
00:04:08.940 We must teach Israel a lesson, 0.92
00:04:10.840 and we will do this again.
00:04:12.480 The Al-Aqsa flood is just the first time.
00:04:14.400 There will be a second, a third, a fourth.
00:04:15.620 That's referring to the attack on October 7th.
00:04:17.760 Because we have the determination, the resolve.
00:04:20.160 Will we have to pay a price?
00:04:21.560 Yes, and we are ready to pay it.
00:04:24.200 We are called a nation of martyrs,
00:04:25.680 and we are proud to sacrifice martyrs.
00:04:28.380 We did not want to harm civilians,
00:04:30.700 but there were complications on the ground.
00:04:35.940 The occupation must come to an end.
00:04:37.400 Occupation where?
00:04:38.100 In the Gaza Strip?
00:04:38.820 No, I'm talking about all the Palestinian lands.
00:04:42.480 Does that mean the annihilation of Israel?
00:04:44.060 Yes, of course.
00:04:45.560 The existence of Israel is illogical. 0.99
00:04:47.640 The existence of Israel is what causes all that pain, blood, and tears. 1.00
00:04:51.700 It is Israel, not us. 0.91
00:04:52.820 We are the victims of the occupation period.
00:04:55.420 Therefore, nobody should blame us for the things we do.
00:04:58.360 On October 7th, everything that we do is justified.
00:05:05.020 Okay.
00:05:06.580 Whatever one thinks of the Israel-Palestine conflict,
00:05:09.760 which actually is a complex conflict that has gone on in its present form for 100 years
00:05:14.780 and has gone on in other forms for millennia at this point,
00:05:18.480 whatever one thinks of the conflict,
00:05:20.700 the last part of what he said there is not true ever under any circumstances.
00:05:25.320 The notion that anything we do is justified because of our political claim,
00:05:30.460 that is not true.
00:05:31.420 To the contrary, there is something called just war.
00:05:36.240 And there are two chief considerations, even within just war,
00:05:41.140 which is, is your action just when it comes to going to war?
00:05:46.120 And is your action just when you are already in war?
00:05:49.560 And we've gone over on this show, I won't rehash it here,
00:05:52.040 we've gone over some of what makes a war justified,
00:05:54.900 going all through the ages from great thinkers,
00:05:58.000 including Cicero all the way up through St. Thomas Aquinas
00:06:00.740 and others all the way up to the present.
00:06:05.140 That last part that he just said there is not true.
00:06:08.020 There are in fact rules to war because there is such a thing as the moral law.
00:06:12.700 And there are moral considerations in war just as there are in peace.
00:06:17.340 What this does mean is that the war is almost certainly intractable
00:06:20.960 because the demands here cannot really be resolved.
00:06:25.040 The pro-Palestine movement says that Israel's establishment in 1948
00:06:30.120 constituted an unjust act of imperialism,
00:06:33.340 that the British gave the Jews this land that they had no right to give them. 0.81
00:06:38.480 And as a result of this,
00:06:39.920 Palestinian Arabs were kicked out of their land into other places.
00:06:44.780 And so they will just simply not accept the existence of the state of Israel.
00:06:49.300 Israel's argument is that God gave us this land millennia ago
00:06:52.980 and obviously different religious groups have different views of what that covenant means.
00:06:58.480 Christians have a different view. 0.91
00:06:59.440 Catholics and Orthodox have a different view even than say evangelical Protestants.
00:07:03.560 And obviously Jews have a different view and Muslims have a different view.
00:07:05.980 So that's the theological argument.
00:07:07.980 And then the more recent legal argument from the state of Israel
00:07:11.980 is that the Balfour Declaration grants the premise
00:07:15.720 that the Jews can establish a state in Israel.
00:07:17.360 And in 1948, the UN says it can happen.
00:07:19.960 And then an even more recent argument from a military and political perspective
00:07:23.980 is that Israel will say, we fought a war and it's ours.
00:07:27.060 Law of conquest.
00:07:28.180 Okay, well, then the response to that is going to be,
00:07:31.260 okay, well, we're going to keep making war on you just like Hamas has said here. 0.74
00:07:34.360 We're going to just keep doing October 7th.
00:07:36.900 We're going to keep attacking children.
00:07:38.620 We're going to keep attacking women. 1.00
00:07:40.460 We're going to keep attacking civilians. 0.97
00:07:42.000 And there's going to be no end to it, which is very, very sad.
00:07:45.220 It's a sad fact.
00:07:46.120 I think there are some utopians out there
00:07:48.220 who believe that there's going to be a once and for all answer
00:07:50.800 to the Israel-Palestine conflict.
00:07:53.480 I just don't think it's going to happen.
00:07:55.680 I guess Israel could annex Gaza, formally annex Gaza.
00:07:59.760 I don't think that the Arab states in the region are going to take kindly to that.
00:08:02.640 I don't think the West Bank is going to take kindly to that.
00:08:04.500 I think it's probably going to expand the war.
00:08:06.680 They could glass Gaza. 0.94
00:08:08.760 Same thing.
00:08:09.640 They could try to send the Gazans to Egypt. 0.88
00:08:11.480 I don't know that that's going to work.
00:08:14.160 Conversely, Hamas could go in and say we're going to kill all the Jews
00:08:16.940 or rout them out of the land of Israel. 0.92
00:08:19.180 I don't think that's going to go over all that well either.
00:08:21.380 So it seems relatively intractable now,
00:08:24.180 which is why, for the American audience,
00:08:27.740 my perspective has always been and remains,
00:08:31.080 the chief U.S. interest in this war is to contain the war.
00:08:36.460 There's no reasoning with the head of Hamas.
00:08:38.280 Okay, there's no reasoning with we celebrate our women and our children martyrs
00:08:43.740 to die so that we can abolish the state of Israel. 0.92
00:08:46.860 There's no arguing with we love death more than the Israelis love life.
00:08:50.080 Okay, and there's not going to be any way.
00:08:52.800 What's going to happen?
00:08:53.540 The state of Israel is just going to say,
00:08:54.520 okay, never mind then.
00:08:55.380 We're gone.
00:08:55.880 Well, we're going to leave.
00:08:57.300 We've been here for 75 years, but okay, we're done now.
00:09:01.060 You're right, Hamas. 0.95
00:09:01.880 You convinced us.
00:09:02.680 No, there's not.
00:09:03.360 So the only interest for the United States, or the chief interest, I should say,
00:09:08.820 is contain the war.
00:09:10.780 We've got to talk about these things.
00:09:11.760 And when you want to talk, you've got to check out Pure Talk.
00:09:14.600 Right now, go to puretalk.com slash Knowles.
00:09:17.320 Pure Talk announced that they would alleviate $10 million in veteran debt by Veterans Day.

00:09:24.100 Pure Talk is 74% to that goal with two weeks to go.
00:09:27.580 Now, just think about this.
00:09:29.120 We have a 100% volunteer military, men and women who raise their hands to sacrifice for this country.
00:09:34.600 And when they're done serving, they come back to a tight job market
00:09:37.120 and an outrageous cost of living expenses.
00:09:39.560 That is why I am so happy a private company like Pure Talk has jumped in to help.

00:10:05.120 Let's rally together, show our unwavering support of our veterans.
00:10:08.420 puretalk.com slash Knowles, switch to Pure Talk today.
00:10:10.580 It's the right move and it's the American way. 0.76
00:10:14.220 Speaking of containing threats, there's a new poll out
00:10:17.260 that looks at the race, not just Biden versus Trump,
00:10:21.340 not just Trump versus the Republican primary candidates,
00:10:23.620 but Biden versus Trump versus RFK Jr.
00:10:27.420 And according to this poll, forget about who wins and who pulls votes from whom.
00:10:32.200 According to this poll, this is Quinnipiac, which is a very serious poll.
00:10:36.920 RFK Jr. is currently polling at 22% against Biden and Trump.
00:10:44.780 So according to this poll, if it's just Biden versus Trump, Biden wins by one point.
00:10:49.920 If it's Biden, Trump, and RFK Jr., Biden wins by three points.
00:10:55.580 So this contradicts earlier polls.
00:10:57.060 I have long said I think RFK takes more votes from Biden than he does from Trump.
00:11:02.240 And most polls have backed that up and I still stand by that prediction.
00:11:06.300 This poll contradicts that though, albeit very slightly,
00:11:08.980 and says no, RFK actually takes slightly more votes from Trump.
00:11:13.160 I don't totally buy that, but could be the case.
00:11:15.560 The crazier part about it is that RFK Jr. is at 22%.
00:11:19.480 So you got Biden at 39, Trump at 36, RFK Jr. at 22.
00:11:23.380 22 in that kind of a race when the other two major party frontrunners are in the 30s and
00:11:29.200 you're in the 20s, that's crazy.
00:11:31.700 That's really good.
00:11:33.540 And then what happens when you add Cornel West into the race?
00:11:35.600 Again, Quinnipiac is predicting that Biden always wins.
00:11:38.960 But then it goes down a little bit again.
00:11:40.820 Biden is up one point.
00:11:42.580 It's Biden 36, Trump 35.
00:11:44.120 So statistically even, RFK Jr. loses a little bit at 19%.
00:11:48.640 And then Cornel West is at 6%.
00:11:50.900 So according to this, the combination of Cornel West and RFK Jr. is better for Trump than just RFK Jr. himself.
00:11:58.460 Again, these are pretty slim margins.
00:12:00.900 So forget about that for a second.
00:12:03.480 How does RFK Jr. poll at 22%?
00:12:06.060 Some would say it's because he was right about COVID.
00:12:10.580 Or at least he was more right about COVID than Anthony Fauci or Joe Biden or maybe even Donald Trump for that matter.
00:12:16.720 Maybe.
00:12:17.260 But I don't think that the RFK Jr. support is primarily about COVID.
00:12:20.860 One, because he's polling well among Democrats.
00:12:25.380 I think he said, what, 20% among Democrats.
00:12:27.380 But also, if the chief issue in this race were COVID and the handling of COVID, Ron DeSantis would be the Republican nominee, not Donald Trump.
00:12:37.340 But right now, Trump is destroying DeSantis.
00:12:39.560 According to this very same poll, Trump is at 64%.
00:12:42.620 Ron DeSantis is at 15%.
00:12:44.900 So, Trump is at more than 4x what DeSantis is.
00:12:51.420 And then DeSantis is at roughly 2x what the next highest polling Republican, Nikki Haley, is at, which is 8%.
00:12:57.360 So, you got Trump with a 49-point lead.
00:13:01.760 Ron DeSantis can claim, maybe it's his greatest achievement, it's certainly up there, that he was the best governor in America on COVID.
00:13:11.460 And yet he's losing.
00:13:12.320 So, what's the RFK Jr. thing about?
00:13:13.600 I think the RFK Jr. 22% surge in the polls is about a longing for a bygone era.
00:13:21.980 I think it's not because RFK Jr. is the most normal guy in the world, but his last name's Kennedy.
00:13:27.540 And he's more moderate, at least on some issues, than Joe Biden.
00:13:32.000 He's more moderate on immigration.
00:13:34.300 He's a little more moderate on abortion.
00:13:36.760 He's a little more moderate on a few issues.
00:13:39.800 Joe Biden doesn't really believe anything.
00:13:41.280 So, to say more moderate or more radical would imply that he has beliefs, and he doesn't.
00:13:45.740 Joe Biden licks his fingers, figures out which way the wind is blowing, and then goes with that.
00:13:48.880 And because the Democratic Party is so much more radical now, and because RFK Jr., I think, actually does have some beliefs, he seems more moderate.
00:13:56.800 And people just think, ah, back in the 60s and 70s, man, politics was a little more normal.
00:14:01.580 It was crazy then, too.
00:14:02.780 You know, we were, like, assassinating presidential candidates, and there was a cultural revolution, and bombing federal buildings.
00:14:07.340 But, you know, though, all in all, it was more normal than it is now.
00:14:11.240 That's the longing that we're seeing.
00:14:13.360 And he represents that because of his last name.
00:14:16.760 And Trump and Biden, for a lot of Americans, represent the modern craziness.
00:14:24.360 Now, of course, nostalgia is history after a few drinks.
00:14:27.520 So, as I've just alluded to, the 1960s weren't all that hot.
00:14:31.180 There were major protests, a ton of what is euphemistically called civil unrest, which just means political violence, the assassination of major political figures.
00:14:40.260 So, it wasn't all that great.
00:14:41.520 Age of Aquarius, a bunch of weird hippies cropping up, doing drugs, destroying the family, all sorts of stuff.
00:14:47.920 But, people are nostalgic.
00:14:50.440 And so, how far can RFK Jr. ride that nostalgia?
00:14:55.340 Further and further, depending on how much the political order falls into chaos, which doesn't show any signs of letting up doing that.
00:15:02.960 Now, speaking of longing, one of the biggest Halloween costumes this year, I am told.
00:15:08.440 I was traveling on Halloween, but I was getting updates.
00:15:11.280 And I'm told that one of the big Halloween costumes was Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift.
00:15:16.320 And, in fact, Travis Kelsey was talking about this with his brother, Jason Kelsey.
00:15:22.500 Apparently, they have a podcast because every white man, every white millennial man in the country, if not in the world, has a natural right to a podcast.
00:15:30.860 I don't know how that came to be, but just looking at the results here, I'm not sure that I know a single white millennial man who does not have at least one podcast.
00:15:43.300 So, I guess the Kelsey brothers have one.
00:15:45.540 And they were talking about how odd it is that people were dressing up as this previously relatively unknown football player and Taylor Swift.
00:15:53.960 There were so many people that dressed up like Travis and Taylor and me and Kylie and Mom.
00:16:02.080 Like, it was probably the most…
00:16:04.080 It was a Kelsey Halloween.
00:16:06.000 Yeah, that was a major amount of Kelsey outfits. 0.94
00:16:08.960 It was a New Heights.
00:16:09.680 It was a Kelsey.
00:16:10.540 It was pretty creepy watching that many people be us, but it was awesome.
00:16:16.700 It's kind of cute.
00:16:18.140 I don't know that much about Taylor Swift.
00:16:20.420 I certainly don't know anything about Travis Kelsey.
00:16:22.180 Kelsey, it's kind of nice.
00:16:24.640 I don't mind it.
00:16:26.260 It seems sort of relatively wholesome.
00:16:28.860 America seems obsessed with Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift, just as America is obsessed with all of Taylor Swift's boyfriends, which shows a problem for Taylor Swift and her career.
00:16:41.320 And the problem is this.
00:16:43.620 Taylor Swift cannot get married and move on with her life without radically changing her career.
00:16:52.180 People love when Taylor Swift gets a new boyfriend. 0.58
00:16:58.680 But she needs to keep getting a new boyfriend in order to do that. 1.00
00:17:02.100 All of Taylor Swift's songs are just about her ex-boyfriends.
00:17:06.500 So she needs a steady supply of ex-boyfriends if she's going to have a steady supply of songs. 0.99
00:17:10.080 And the songs are popular and they've made her into a billionaire.
00:17:12.260 But the minute that she gets a serious boyfriend and then gets married and she's off the market, what's she going to write about?
00:17:18.840 What's she going to sing about? 0.77
00:17:19.900 What are the celebrity tabloid people going to follow?
00:17:24.060 Where's the surprise?
00:17:24.860 It's like a sitcom.
00:17:25.780 This is the problem for sitcoms.
00:17:27.160 In a sitcom, you've got the two characters who are love interests.
00:17:30.360 And the question is always, will they or won't they?
00:17:33.360 And then the moment that they get together, the show is terrible.
00:17:37.060 You want them to get together.
00:17:38.580 You want to believe that there is true love and marriage and a happy ending.
00:17:43.760 But the problem with a sitcom is it's got to go on.
00:17:46.140 So that can't be the ending.
00:17:47.560 And then the minute that you, the viewer, get what you want in a sitcom,
00:17:50.880 the moment that Niles and Daphne finally get together, the show goes stale.
00:17:56.860 Because there's nothing left.
00:17:58.000 There's no more anticipation.
00:17:59.280 Now it's just a marriage.
00:18:00.280 People don't want to watch a marriage. 0.99
00:18:01.900 So what is she going to do?
00:18:02.880 This is a big problem, I think, with our culture.
00:18:05.700 Is we don't want to move on.
00:18:08.780 We want to remain perpetually adolescent for our whole lives.
00:18:11.840 I think it's a big part of why Taylor Swift's music remains so popular.
00:18:15.980 I think it's a big part of why the sitcom has been the defining genre of the past 30 years.
00:18:21.620 I think it's a big reason why people don't get married.
00:18:24.800 And put marriage aside for a second.
00:18:26.800 Why they don't grow up.
00:18:29.040 Why you have people in their 30s and 40s using terms like adulting.
00:18:33.440 Because they're so proud that they paid a bill for once.
00:18:36.740 But life is not a sitcom.
00:18:39.540 Life is a drama.
00:18:41.860 Life is a drama.
00:18:43.000 And you've got to lean in and grow and not be perpetually a child.
00:18:47.680 Now, one thing that people have done, because they don't want to have babies anymore, they don't want to adopt, if they are not able to conceive on their own, they don't want to do this, they don't want to do that.
00:18:59.380 But so people, they treat dogs as children.
00:19:03.960 And that's not good.
00:19:04.700 It's good to treat your dog as a dog.
00:19:06.460 It's not good to treat your dog as a child.
00:19:08.860 But when you do treat your dog as a dog, you want to give him the very best food.
00:19:12.380 Which is why you've got to check out Rough Greens.

00:19:21.560 And his dog is loving it.
00:19:23.880 Well, the dog isn't loving it because dogs don't have rational souls and they're incapable of love.
00:19:28.880 But I am sure that the dog finds the Rough Greens appetizing.

00:20:34.300 My favorite comment yesterday is from Bill Burkett, 7166, who says,
00:20:39.860 It's gotten a little hard to watch the show with half of it cut out.
00:20:44.780 All right, listen, man.
00:20:46.460 I feel you.
00:20:48.040 There have been some cuts on the YouTube show.
00:20:50.420 I mean, I just do my show, is the thing.
00:20:53.000 Because I'm not going to allow the jerks at big tech to censor me from saying what I'm going to say.
00:20:59.260 They can shut my whole show down.
00:21:00.840 So we have to clip out the parts that are not allowed on certain platforms.
00:21:05.900 I think you know which ones I'm talking about.
00:21:07.760 But the full show is available.
00:21:09.940 It's available on X, formerly known as Twitter.
00:21:12.540 It's available on DailyWire.com for free for everybody with ads.
00:21:17.600 It's available without ads on DailyWire.com for DW Plus members.
00:21:22.680 It's available on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify.
00:21:26.000 I don't know what more I can do for you.
00:21:28.280 Unless you want me to go in and change the largest company in the world, which has a liberal bent.
00:21:33.300 I don't know.
00:21:33.540 I'm doing my best for you.
00:21:34.700 But if you want to watch that full show without ads in the best way possible,
00:21:39.700 hear all the things that big tech doesn't want you to hear,
00:21:42.340 you've got to go to DailyWire Plus and become a member.
00:21:44.960 However, speaking of human relationships, Elon Musk has just said that George Soros hates humanity.
00:21:55.540 Soros, I don't know.
00:21:56.760 I mean, he had a very difficult upbringing.
00:22:01.560 And in my opinion, he fundamentally hates humanity.
00:22:06.780 That's my opinion.
00:22:08.320 Really?
00:22:08.920 Yeah.
00:22:09.140 I mean, well, he's doing things that erode the fabric of civilization, you know, getting DAs elected who refuse to prosecute crime.
00:22:17.520 That's part of the problem in San Francisco and L.A. and a bunch of other cities.
00:22:22.020 So why would you do that?
00:22:24.060 As is often the case, Elon Musk, spot on here.
00:22:26.880 This is the irony with humanists and humanitarians.
00:22:32.040 The humanists and the humanitarians, they suggest that they are exalting mankind.
00:22:41.920 That they are perfecting humanity.
00:22:44.420 And all they want is for humanity to live up to its full potential.
00:22:49.280 And the way they're going to do that is by getting rid of all those stupid things we believed in the past.
00:22:53.520 We're going to get rid of religion. 1.00
00:22:55.000 That only holds us back and makes us fight each other.
00:22:57.600 And it's not very inclusive.
00:22:59.780 And it's not diverse and equitable or whatever the modern jargon is.
00:23:04.560 We're going to get rid of all the traditions.
00:23:07.060 We're going to get rid of all the normal bonds and relationships.
00:23:10.000 We're not up in the whole world.
00:23:10.880 We're going to be revolutionary.
00:23:12.280 But the irony is that the humanists and the humanitarians end up degrading human beings.
00:23:19.980 When you have God in your perspective and all the things that go along with God, religion, civilization, inspiration, when you have that, mankind becomes most perfectly himself.
00:23:36.080 Because man is made in the image and likeness of God.
00:23:39.560 So when your society is oriented toward God, you become more perfectly who you really are.
00:23:45.080 When you take God out of the equation and you say, we're going to be humanists, we're going to only focus on humanity.
00:23:52.400 We're not going to focus on all those other moral or religious considerations and rights and obligations.
00:23:56.980 We're just going to focus on human beings.
00:23:58.780 Humans are the greatest thing of all.
00:24:00.100 We're going to turn humans into gods.
00:24:01.580 We're going to write a book like Yuval Harari wrote called Homo Deus.
00:24:06.080 Ironically, what you do is you degrade humans.
00:24:08.200 Because you're forgetting what humans are supposed to be.
00:24:11.040 You're forgetting in whose image the humans are made.
00:24:14.100 And so you make humans like animals.
00:24:16.620 You make humans like computers.
00:24:18.140 We start talking about humans like machines.
00:24:20.240 Or we start talking about humans as no different from irrational beasts.
00:24:23.560 We're just flesh.
00:24:24.620 We're just hormones and synapses and pistons firing.
00:24:28.580 We pretend that we have rational thought, but we don't really.
00:24:32.080 We know that that's just an illusion.
00:24:34.180 You're just a cog.
00:24:35.300 You're just a machine.
00:24:36.120 You're like a computer.
00:24:37.040 We're going to hack you.
00:24:38.320 You're going to have a hackable.
00:24:39.980 We're going to biohack your body. 0.99
00:24:42.280 And we're going to transform you.
00:24:43.260 We're going to upgrade the software, whatever stupid language they use. 1.00
00:24:46.340 So ultimately, they degrade humanity.
00:24:48.480 This has always been the case.
00:24:50.580 It's always, even George Soros, he's a tragic figure to me.
00:24:54.060 Because the thing I think of first when I think of George Soros is Esperanto.
00:24:57.980 To me, Esperanto explains George Soros.
00:25:00.440 This is a man who grew up, his father was one of the leaders of creating Esperanto and promoting it.
00:25:07.120 This failed universal second language. 0.94
00:25:10.980 It's a language that was just concocted.
00:25:13.100 It's a contrivance.
00:25:14.520 And it was supposed to be the second language.
00:25:17.080 For all the people who speak all these different languages, that's how they would all converse with one another.
00:25:20.660 And we'd all come together kumbaya.
00:25:22.000 And the irony is there already was a universal second language for thousands of years in the West.
00:25:27.780 And that language is Latin.
00:25:29.080 And it was precisely at the time that all these new modern hip liberal people said,
00:25:33.080 we've got to get Latin out of life. 1.00
00:25:35.280 We've got to, Latin's a dead language.
00:25:37.500 We've got to forget that.
00:25:38.420 And all of a sudden, it was exactly at that time that they said,
00:25:41.680 hey, wait, we need a universal second language.
00:25:43.120 So they contrive this thing Esperanto, which is just inhuman.
00:25:46.980 In fact, if you try to teach little kids to speak Esperanto,
00:25:50.320 they will naturally make it more complicated.
00:25:53.120 Because life isn't so simple.
00:25:54.820 And we, human beings, are just not that good at playing God.
00:25:59.060 We're not, we actually can't create the universe better than it was already created.
00:26:02.920 And George Soros, it was a childhood speaker of Esperanto, and he is a big promoter of it.
00:26:09.360 Just as he's a big promoter of all of these human contrivances to remake the world after our own image.
00:26:14.660 Not going to work very well.
00:26:16.340 Very, very degrading.
00:26:17.680 Speaking of humanitarians, Democrat Representative Jason Crow is voting against Republican Speaker Mike Johnson's
00:26:27.820 Israel support bill because it, quote, politicizes Israel.
00:26:34.680 I'm not going to support this bill.
00:26:36.260 It's a horrible, horrible bill.
00:26:38.580 It's horrible for Israel because it actually doesn't have any humanitarian aid funding.
00:26:44.140 So like I've long said, there's no sole military solution to this.
00:26:48.200 We have to couple humanitarian aid and protection of civilians with the military response.
00:26:52.680 And if we don't do that, neither one of those will be a success.
00:26:55.240 So there has to be humanitarian funding, but they have politicized this effort to support
00:27:01.280 Israel in a way that is unacceptable. 1.00
00:27:03.740 It sets a precedent that these national security supplementals will be subject to politics in
00:27:08.440 a way that we never have subjected in the politics before.
00:27:11.540 And I'm just not going to stand for it.
00:27:13.200 I'm going to stand up and say there's a bipartisan way of doing this in a way that we have always
00:27:17.160 done in the past.
00:27:18.160 And we're not going to allow this to be politicized.
00:27:20.780 The Republicans have apparently politicized support for Israel.
00:27:27.320 What does that mean?
00:27:28.680 What on earth does that mean?
00:27:31.640 How do you politicize a congressionally ratified military aid package to a foreign government?
00:27:40.020 Was that, that wasn't political before?
00:27:42.280 What was it?
00:27:42.900 That was just kind of cultural, man.
00:27:45.260 You know, it was just artistic and spiritual.
00:27:47.620 It was personal.
00:27:48.240 It wasn't political when our duly elected representatives vote to spend taxpayer money on a military aid
00:27:54.900 package to support a foreign nation in a war.
00:27:57.720 That's not political.
00:27:58.520 Give me a break.
00:27:59.560 What is, that, that is one of the phrases that drives me craziest in modern politics is
00:28:04.640 when people accuse their opponents of politicizing something.
00:28:09.280 What does that mean?
00:28:10.600 Political means public.
00:28:11.940 That's all it means.
00:28:12.680 If, if, if an issue is of public interest, it is by definition a political matter.
00:28:19.620 This one is just extremely ridiculous because we're talking about international diplomacy and
00:28:25.900 foreign aid.
00:28:27.100 Well, that was previously, it was not a political matter.
00:28:29.420 I guess what he means is they're making it party political.
00:28:32.280 They're making it partisan.
00:28:34.100 But, Mike Johnson's not making it party political.
00:28:37.280 He's saying, hey, we're going to vote to give the Israeli government money.
00:28:40.220 You guys want in?
00:28:41.680 And, and a lot of Democrats are saying no right now because it's a wedge issue for the
00:28:44.620 Democrats because the Democrat donors support the state of Israel and the Democrat base
00:28:48.460 hates the state of Israel.
00:28:50.040 So, either way, the Democrat representatives are damned if they do and damned if they don't.
00:28:54.880 People just decry politicization when they want to delegitimize one's political opponents.
00:29:02.540 When they say that's out, your opinion is outside the scope of politics.
00:29:06.840 And, of course, they do that often because they can't win a political debate, including
00:29:12.260 in our nation's deliberative body.
00:29:14.740 You know, my new interview series, Michael And, takes a deep dive into the world of extraordinary
00:29:19.520 people with gripping testimonies.
00:29:21.220 It's from an exorcist, detailing what exorcism is really like, to the January 6th, excuse
00:29:27.000 me, January 6th, the worst day in the history of this or any republic, QAnon shaman, as he's 1.00
00:29:33.700 called, describing his solitary confinement just days after his release.
00:29:37.340 Each episode reveals something that you may not have considered before.
00:29:40.480 In this latest installment, I sat down with a former witch who warns that ridding oneself 0.95
00:29:45.900 of occult practices might mean the difference between life and death.
00:29:49.720 Witchcraft, in general, is control and manipulation. 0.80
00:29:54.580 It's something that you do to get something in return.
00:29:57.500 Do witches worship the moon? 1.00
00:30:00.220 Especially during Halloween, that they believe that it opens up in the spiritual realm.
00:30:05.380 This was just accepted as commonplace.
00:30:07.600 What are the nuts and bolts of it like?
00:30:09.240 A demon came and the main witch, she just got possessed and she started to speak. 0.83
00:30:16.260 Someone in your family is going to die in one week.
00:30:19.240 My dad committed suicide and he was hanging there.
00:30:21.820 This episode is now available on the Michael Knowles Show YouTube channel, or you can listen
00:30:34.100 to the Michael Knowles Show podcast on your preferred podcast platform.
00:30:37.900 And now, finally, finally, we've arrived at my favorite time of the week when I get to
00:30:41.600 hear from you in the mailbag.
00:30:42.820 This mailbag is brought to you by Pure Talk.
00:30:45.600 Go to puretalk.com slash Knowles today.
00:30:48.080 I'm going to pull it up here on my travel iPad.
00:30:54.200 Take it away.
00:30:56.080 Hey, Michael.
00:30:56.500 I'm a long-time listener.
00:30:57.760 I've been listening since my sophomore year of high school.
00:31:00.760 Currently a freshman in college.
00:31:03.040 And I have not missed a single episode since I started watching.
00:31:07.360 Pretty big achievement, in my opinion.
00:31:09.160 Right.
00:31:09.360 So I'm in a little bit of an interesting situation.
00:31:12.860 Just for preface, I'm a male who has tracks into females as well as males, too.
00:31:19.700 And I have a really good friend of mine, best friend I could ever ask for.
00:31:22.820 We started off kind of just as, like, normal, see you later type people.
00:31:26.320 And then shortly after, I didn't, you know, take this the way it was at the time, but developed
00:31:35.420 some, you know, feelings.
00:31:37.340 And as far as I know, I know him pretty well.
00:31:41.320 As far as I know, you know, he's a straight male.
00:31:45.840 Very questionable straight male.
00:31:47.080 But, you know, and it's just rough, you know, like, since we're so close, we basically tell
00:31:55.720 each other everything.
00:31:56.500 It's just rough hearing him, you know, talk about this particular girl now who he feels
00:32:02.260 strongly for.
00:32:03.900 It's just really hard, you know, not being able to, you know, tell him how I feel.
00:32:08.660 And I just really wanted some advice on it.
00:32:12.800 Thanks.
00:32:13.680 That's a tough one, pal.
00:32:17.080 What I would recommend is, don't tell him how you feel.
00:32:22.640 Because, look, you're obviously struggling with this.
00:32:25.760 You are attracted to women, but you're also dealing with some feelings of same-sex attraction.
00:32:30.740 And this is complicating your friendship.
00:32:34.620 It might be the case, I sometimes wonder.
00:32:37.140 I'm not saying that there's no deeper or more fundamental basis of same-sex attraction.
00:32:43.440 But the fact that it appears to be so widespread now, I do wonder if that is partly due to a
00:32:51.720 confusion over friendship.
00:32:53.500 Because men are, when men become friends now, it's called gay.
00:33:01.940 If you have a friendship that's any deeper than, hey, bro, let's go watch some strippers dance on the
00:33:10.600 sidelines at a football game while we eat chicken wings and drink beer, you know, if there's anything
00:33:14.380 deeper going on, then people will mock you and say, what, you talk about your deep thoughts and
00:33:19.020 feelings?
00:33:19.440 What are you, a fanook, you know? 0.99
00:33:20.980 Come on.
00:33:21.700 Why do you seem like a gay guy? 0.99
00:33:23.160 And then that's promoted in the culture, too.
00:33:25.320 So I think there's a real confusion about friendship.
00:33:27.620 And I think friendship is extraordinarily important for men.
00:33:32.200 One might call it the highest form of relationship.
00:33:36.100 That's what some of the ancient Greeks did.
00:33:37.480 They were a little light in the loafers themselves in certain practices.
00:33:40.420 But I wonder if that's a little bit of the issue here.
00:33:44.160 It's just the broader confusion about friendship in this day and age.
00:33:47.600 You mentioned that he's a questionable guy.
00:33:49.220 So maybe you're insinuating that he might have similar feelings that you do, which is
00:33:53.980 that he's attracted to women, but maybe he could go the other way.
00:33:57.680 I don't know.
00:33:58.100 Some people say that bisexuality, so-called, does not exist.
00:34:02.120 I just don't know.
00:34:04.220 I mean, you're saying it does exist, so I take your word for it.
00:34:07.060 And I don't know how that comes about, other than that it's, you know, disordered.
00:34:14.180 And you seem to have some trepidation even explaining this.
00:34:17.220 So I would follow your gut there, and I would follow traditional teaching.
00:34:21.260 And you've got a little bit of an easier time than people who are strictly attracted
00:34:26.980 to people of the same sex.
00:34:28.380 That's really hard for them, because what are you going to do?
00:34:33.820 You could get married and just sort of, you know, grit your teeth and bear it, close your
00:34:38.180 eyes and think of England.
00:34:38.800 Or you could be celibate, though perhaps not everyone is called to a vocation like that.
00:34:46.120 But that's a bit tougher.
00:34:47.320 Whereas you say, well, I am attracted to women. 0.98
00:34:49.780 I would pursue that then.
00:34:51.000 I think that's probably the right thing to do.
00:34:53.240 And if you're going to be married and have a, you know, sexual life, then I think I would,
00:34:59.960 if I were you, and you say, well, I like women and I like men, well, I'd just as soon go for women then. 0.98
00:35:04.340 And you say, well, I like my buddy.
00:35:06.940 I really, really like my buddy.
00:35:08.240 Well, okay, then I would really, really love your buddy as a friend.
00:35:11.920 I don't know that that would be improved in any way if you told your buddy, you know,
00:35:16.720 you like him as more than a friend.
00:35:19.220 I, you know, it's not, well, you listen to my show and you are writing in with this question
00:35:26.780 in such a sincere and earnest way that I think, you know, that might be a hard lesson for people
00:35:36.480 who say, but I've got this deeply held desire or something, but, you know, this is a fallen world.
00:35:42.200 And so our desires can become disordered.
00:35:44.780 And in this case, I would use your reason to follow the right way of doing things.
00:35:51.720 And then you can have both.
00:35:52.900 And you can have a wife and you can have your friend and you don't need to confuse the two
00:35:57.960 and cross the lines and potentially blow up both possibilities.
00:36:01.520 Next question.
00:36:02.660 Hi, Michael.
00:36:03.120 This is Kyle.
00:36:04.180 Big time fan of the show.
00:36:06.220 First time voice mailbag.
00:36:08.640 Really appreciate you keeping me up to date on the news.
00:36:11.020 One news story in particular was the one about seed oils.
00:36:15.060 While I thought I ate clean, I didn't realize how ubiquitous seed oils really were.
00:36:19.500 I had to even cut out my favorite brand of olives.
00:36:21.300 That being said, my question to you is what type of political solution is there for seed
00:36:27.440 oils and, you know, broader scale obesity, given that, you know, the seed oils have influenced
00:36:32.660 or greatly, like, greatly pushed up obesity rates.
00:36:36.500 And that's affected, you know, military recruitment, laziness, et cetera, et cetera.
00:36:40.000 You know, do you ever see, you know, maybe a major politician, say, a Ron DeSantis,
00:36:43.700 this Vivek, whatever, ever coming out against seed oils or, you know, reforming those industries?
00:36:51.020 What type of political solutions do you see?
00:36:53.200 Thanks for all you do.
00:36:55.200 It's funny you mentioned Vivek.
00:36:56.700 I could see him bringing up seed oils because he's the more eccentric, edgy candidate in the
00:37:03.460 GOP primary.
00:37:04.680 So I don't see Trump bringing it up.
00:37:07.140 I don't, DeSantis is in some ways a little more online and a little edgier than Trump.
00:37:12.280 But I don't, I think he's still too mainstream and established as a sitting governor to do that.
00:37:17.860 But I could totally see Vivek bringing up the seed oil thing.
00:37:21.900 Uh, and it's, the seed oil thing is the first big diet fad as an adult that I bought into.
00:37:31.860 I used to be really skeptical of it.
00:37:33.500 And then sweet little Elisa totally seed oil pilled me. 0.97
00:37:37.440 And I, I buy it.
00:37:38.340 And I, I, my son, sunburns are not as bad anymore.
00:37:40.500 So, you know, there's that.
00:37:41.980 Uh, but the answer is, the answer to the seed oil problem is spend a lot more money on food. 0.95
00:37:46.760 That's it.
00:37:48.180 That's why the seed oils are in everything because they're super cheap.
00:37:51.900 And right now we have very high inflation and we've got in particular inflation among food.
00:37:58.840 So what's the answer?
00:38:00.660 If you're doing well, you know, if my blank book sells some extra copies this Christmas,
00:38:05.920 then I have no problem.
00:38:07.060 We can, sweet little Elisa can go buy the most expensive seed oil stuff in the world 1.00
00:38:10.220 and we'll get fewer sunburns.
00:38:13.180 But for a lot of people who are hurting in this economy, it's just an issue of money.
00:38:18.360 So you could try to regulate it.
00:38:19.900 I suppose I'm not opposed to just and prudent regulation by the proper authorities, you know,
00:38:25.340 most local as can be, if possible.
00:38:29.040 I'm fine with that.
00:38:30.920 But it's not really going to solve the problem because the problem is really a financial one.
00:38:33.860 That's what started the seed oil trend in the first place.
00:38:35.900 Next question.
00:38:36.420 Hey, Dirty Mike, Mr. Reality here.
00:38:38.700 I wanted to ask you to elaborate on your thoughts from Tuesday's show regarding Israel bombing
00:38:42.600 part of a church campus, not on that specific church, but rather on whether churches in
00:38:46.860 general should be safe havens for terrorists to plan acts of evil.
00:38:50.420 Throughout Eastern Roman history, tyrants would often try to take refuge in churches to
00:38:53.940 escape justice, only to be dragged out to face that justice.
00:38:57.420 In the modern era, terrorists use churches and other religious buildings, as well as hospitals,
00:39:01.340 schools, and so on, as places to conduct evil and relative safety.
00:39:04.560 There seem to be three options for a nation being victimized by these evildoers.
00:39:08.660 One, ignore them and let them carry out their evil.
00:39:11.200 Two, sacrifice the lives of their own soldiers to try to preserve the building.
00:39:14.940 Or three, bomb the building to destroy the evil.
00:39:17.540 I agree that it is sad when historical artifacts, especially churches, are destroyed in war,
00:39:21.720 but it seems wrong to suggest a nation victimized by terrorists should sacrifice more of its
00:39:26.100 citizens' lives to avoid damaging buildings that the terrorists are profaning.
00:39:29.920 Do you think churches should be off-limits?
00:39:31.800 That a victimized nation should sacrifice its own blood to avoid damaging churches?
00:39:35.760 Or do you have a different perspective I haven't suggested?
00:39:38.180 Thanks.
00:39:38.960 The issue with the church in St. Porphyrios is not as you describe it.
00:39:45.600 I guess is why I would call out that particular bombing.
00:39:49.300 No one is alleging that St. Porphyrios' church in Gaza was housing Islamic militants or that
00:39:55.740 Hamas had built tunnels underneath this church.
00:39:58.880 In fact, the Israeli airstrike was apparently, or I guess, I think that was, yes, that was
00:40:03.680 an Israeli airstrike.
00:40:04.580 It's sometimes confusing because sometimes the airstrikes or the rockets or the bombs come
00:40:09.100 from the Palestinian side and then they blame Israel and Israel blames the Palestinians
00:40:13.600 and then you find out later in the fog of war what really happened.
00:40:15.920 But in that case, it looked like it was the state of Israel sent a missile next to the
00:40:21.560 church because near the church, that's where the terrorists were hiding and it destroyed
00:40:27.300 part of the church because of that.
00:40:29.800 And so I don't begrudge the state of Israel defending itself and killing terrorists and
00:40:35.920 obliterating Hamas.
00:40:36.960 Obviously not.
00:40:37.940 But in that particular case, it's a real shame because the church was built by crusaders in 0.99
00:40:45.720 the 11th through 12th century and it dates back, parts of it date back, all the way to
00:40:48.960 antiquity.
00:40:50.420 So it's just a real loss for part of the church to be destroyed.
00:40:54.240 And I'm not suggesting that we need to make idols out of historical buildings, especially
00:41:01.960 churches.
00:41:02.600 But we can be a little careful.
00:41:06.160 You know, even at the height of the Second World War, the Nazis, the Axis and the Allies
00:41:10.800 decided not to destroy Paris.
00:41:12.660 They could have destroyed Paris, but they didn't destroy Paris.
00:41:15.600 That was good.
00:41:17.040 And so I just think that there are rules to war and there are special considerations to be
00:41:23.580 made in war.
00:41:24.220 And war is a bloody killing thing, to quote General Patton.
00:41:28.560 You know, there's no way of getting out of it in a really nice way.
00:41:32.360 But combatants can observe certain niceties and accommodations for how to keep living and
00:41:39.520 how to maintain culture after the war.
00:41:41.820 So that was an issue there.
00:41:43.380 I don't think the state of Israel intentionally tried to blow up a church or anything like that.
00:41:47.580 But one can go in and obliterate and kill the enemy while having some constraint and cultural
00:41:54.820 consideration.
00:41:55.360 And at the height of that, one should have consideration for churches.
00:41:59.740 All right.
00:42:00.380 Next question.
00:42:01.600 Hey, Michael.
00:42:02.420 Really big fan here.
00:42:03.900 I have a quick question for you.
00:42:06.020 You're always posting videos on YouTube reacting to fatphobic or TikTokers complaining about fatphobia.
00:42:13.540 And you encourage physical fitness and stuff like that.
00:42:17.240 Two-part question.
00:42:18.580 One, do you work out?
00:42:19.960 And second, if the answer is no, when are you going to start slamming some protein and
00:42:25.280 lifting some heavy circles?
00:42:27.040 Thanks.
00:42:28.580 Yeah, that voice sounds strikingly familiar to me.
00:42:32.460 Sounds a lot like the voice of one Professor Jacob.
00:42:38.000 Hmm?
00:42:39.740 Well, Professor Jacob over there thinks just because he's lifted a few weights, he's Mr. Beefcake.
00:42:44.080 Gets to push us all around, huh?
00:42:45.940 Gets to bully us and tell us to go hit the gym, huh?
00:42:48.260 Huh?
00:42:49.140 Yeah?
00:42:50.620 Hmm?
00:42:51.500 All right.
00:42:51.940 That's our show.
00:42:52.400 I'm Michael Knowles.
00:42:52.900 This is the Michael Knowles Show.
00:42:54.120 See you next week.
