Tipping culture has gone too far. We've all seen this building for a long time.
00:00:04.700
It happens everywhere. Any store you go to, you go to the cafe, you go to the grab and go restaurant.
00:00:12.300
Once it happened to me at a donut shop, the clerk is there and you complete your transaction. And
00:00:17.420
then he flips the iPad around and he says, Oh, just press a few buttons, plays dumb, do whatever
00:00:21.820
you want to do. That's fine. Okay. Yesterday, this reached a whole new level. I was on my way to
00:00:28.440
Cornell. I spoke at Cornell last night. It's going to be aired tonight on the YAF YouTube channel.
00:00:33.100
I'm on my way to Cornell. I'm at the airport. There's a little store called Chibo Express.
00:00:37.420
So I go in to get a drink and there is no employee in the stop. I go, I reach in, I say, I want an iced
00:00:45.880
tea. There's no iced tea. Okay. That's fine. I get a Perrier. So I take it to the self-checkout kiosk
00:00:52.600
and I scan the Perrier. And then it says to me, how much would you like to tip?
00:01:02.880
There was nobody I could have tipped. There was only the robot. The robot asked me for a tip.
00:01:09.720
18%, 20%, maybe 25%. And now I'm kicking myself because I did not tip, even though I'm fairly
00:01:19.620
certain that the robots will take over the whole country. So now that means I could have curried
00:01:26.500
good favor with our future robot overlords, but instead I did not. And so now I am waiting for those
00:01:34.500
random robot overlords to come and exact their revenge. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael
00:01:49.620
Welcome back to the show. Huge story that Stephen Crowder broke about the trans manifesto in Nashville.

That is goodranchers.com, promo code Knowles today. My least favorite part about being on the road
00:02:23.960
that I cannot eat Good Ranchers as much as I would like to. I also miss my wife and children,
00:02:29.900
but part of being with my wife and children a lot of the time is eating Good Ranchers. So
00:02:33.060
look forward to that when I get back home. Speaking of law and order, we'll get to the big story.
00:02:40.140
Obviously, we'll get to the trans manifesto in just a moment. Speaking of law and order though,
00:02:44.240
I'm here at Cornell and Cornell just a week ago saw a kid make threats against Jewish students here
00:02:52.840
and say he wants to kill all the Jewish men and do horrible things to the Jewish women.
00:02:56.740
And he's going to go start shooting people and they found him. They arrested him. He faces five
00:03:01.700
years in prison for the threats. He's a 21 year old. He faces a quarter million dollar fine.
00:03:05.800
He faces a term of supervised release of up to three years after he serves his prison sentence.
00:03:11.720
And some people might suggest amid our enthusiasm for free speech that this is not great because
00:03:19.760
it's a restriction on speech. And I might not support what you say, but I'll defend to the
00:03:24.060
death your right to say it or whatever nonsense. No, of course that is not the case. Nobody has the
00:03:28.400
right to make threats against people. Threats have never been protected speech. There are a lot of
00:03:32.360
things that have never been protected speech in America. Obscenity, libel, all sorts of other
00:03:37.380
things too. This is the subject of my book, Speechless. No? Okay. All right. On the road,
00:03:43.620
they don't have it here at Cornell. But I have no problem with the cops arresting this kid for
00:03:50.000
making threats against Jewish students. My only problem is that we don't do this more broadly.
00:03:56.280
The same should go for threats against Christian students, threats against conservatives, threats
00:04:03.120
against people who mildly criticize transgender ideology. There are a lot of people in America
00:04:07.340
who receive all sorts of threats and the cops do nothing. I've experienced this firsthand.
00:04:14.620
Matt Walsh has experienced this probably five to 10 times at least what I've experienced in terms of
00:04:20.480
people really making ghastly threats against him. He reports it to the cops. They take it very
00:04:27.560
seriously. The cops do nothing. So I'm all for prosecuting these kinds of people. But the lesson
00:04:35.340
we should learn here from Cornell is that we don't do that nearly enough. And we ought to do it in
00:04:41.360
support of all sorts of politically unpopular groups as well. Speaking of freedom of speech,
00:04:46.500
really, really sad story out of Britain. Just after I flew out of London, just the day,
00:04:52.320
I think it was the very day I flew back from London this past week, there was a massive pro-Palestine
00:04:57.600
protest in London. There were also some pro-British protesters. So while there were people waving the
00:05:03.900
Palestine flag, there were people waving the Union Jack. And the people waving the Union Jack were
00:05:08.040
British military veterans. And the cops came up and told them that they couldn't wave their flag.
00:05:14.820
They didn't say that to the pro-Palestine protesters. They said that to the British
00:05:20.720
It's not causing any sort of issues with the barriers. Have your flags just not on the
00:05:32.780
barriers. That's it. And yet when they march down with hundreds of Palestinian flags, you won't say
00:05:38.840
a word. There's way more of them than there is of us. There's way more of them than there are of us.
00:05:48.440
No, it's displaying on these barriers. I know, but he's driving a motor.
00:05:52.140
We're talking about these barriers. It's not about the motor. I'm just talking about the barriers.
00:05:55.140
And the veterans, some of them wearing their full military fatigues.
00:06:10.300
At least the younger cop or the cop on the left is saying, yeah, yeah, it's not fair.
00:06:17.260
But there's more of those guys than there are of us, so we can't put them in their place.
00:06:23.460
We're going to put you in your place because there aren't that many British military veterans
00:06:27.260
out here. Very, very sad story. That's democracy for you, I guess.
00:06:35.360
He's saying, yeah, we're overruled by the mob. And so in your own country, British veterans who
00:06:40.960
have risked your lives to defend this island nation, you don't get the right to political speech,
00:06:47.080
even the most basic political speech, which is to wave your flag and support your country.
00:06:51.880
But those guys who are foreigners, who are pledging their allegiance to a foreign,
00:06:57.180
it's not even a foreign nation. It's a foreign would-be nation, but at the very least,
00:07:01.540
it's a foreign people. They get the political rights that you risked your lives for,
00:07:06.720
the rights that you do not get yourselves. We need to pray for our nations around the West.

00:08:38.360
from that Indian guru guy. He had a documentary made about him. He's kind of a cult leader here in
00:08:44.160
America. He has an increasingly persuasive theory on democracy. Democracy basically means
00:08:54.100
government by the people, of the people, for the people. But the people are retarded.
00:09:08.040
That was the fear of our founding fathers. That was the fear of the framers of our constitution.
00:09:14.040
If you had too much democracy, it could turn into mob rule. And Polybius writes about this,
00:09:21.440
that the decay of the good forms of government, monarchy, aristocracy, and democracy would be
00:09:27.620
tyranny, oligarchy, and mob rule. When the difference being that in the good forms of
00:09:33.760
government, people are ruling for the common good. In the bad forms of government, they're ruling
00:09:36.860
merely for their self-interest. That's what we're seeing here. People ruling without any care for
00:09:43.860
the common good. Great Britain, the United Kingdom, who cares about that? No, you don't even,
00:09:49.260
we don't even let the military vets wave their flags. But whatever hordes of foreigners want
00:09:54.580
to come in and wave the flags of other peoples and other places, yeah, that's fine. Why? Because
00:09:59.900
there's more of them than there are of us. What a condemnation. Now, speaking of democracy,
00:10:07.280
there's a new poll out from New York Times and Siena College. The libs are not going to like this.
00:10:13.580
The people backing candidates, other than the front runner in the GOP primary for president,
00:10:17.980
are not going to like this. Trump is leading not only the primary challengers, but he's leading
00:10:23.800
Joe Biden, not just nationally, but in multiple states, not just any states, but swing states.
00:10:30.580
So this, according to the New York Times, where is it? Here we go. Nevada, Trump 52, Biden 41.
00:10:39.700
Georgia, Trump 49, Biden 43. Arizona, these are all crucial states. Trump 49, Biden 44. Michigan,
00:10:50.240
Trump 48, Biden 43. Pennsylvania even, Trump 48, Biden 44. Wisconsin is the one swing state listed here
00:11:01.200
where Biden is still winning, 47 to 45. So, you know, within two percentage points, statistically,
00:11:06.480
it's a dead heat. This shows what I have suspected from the beginning, which is that in a fair election,
00:11:15.180
Donald Trump has a decent chance of winning. I'm not saying it's guaranteed. I'm not saying he's going
00:11:20.380
to win by a bazillion votes. I'm not saying he's going to win by a huge margin in the Electoral College.
00:11:25.100
I'm just saying, in a fair election, Donald Trump has a decent chance of winning. In a rigged election,
00:11:33.460
he has a very weak chance of winning. And as of today, it seems to me that the election will still
00:11:40.500
be fairly rigged. Because they rigged it during 2020, they used COVID as the excuse, and they changed
00:11:46.540
the rules to favor Democrats and to leave the possibility of ballot fraud open. And Democrats are
00:11:53.160
better at stuffing the ballot box than Republicans are, and they're better at stealing elections than
00:11:57.700
Republicans are. So right now, it seems that the election might be fairly rigged. So if these numbers
00:12:03.120
are to be believed, then the libs are going to have to go even further to rig the election. And the way
00:12:09.820
that they're going to do that is that they're going to delegitimize Trump. And that has been the
00:12:14.740
strategy from the beginning. That's what all of these prosecutions are about. If they can get Trump on
00:12:19.120
federal charges, great. If they can get him on state charges, great. If they can say that he
00:12:22.620
mishandled classified documents and he's a traitor, great. If they can say that he tried to steal the
00:12:27.480
election by calling the Secretary of State of Georgia, great. If they can take away his business,
00:12:32.120
great. If they can say that he got handsy with a gossip columnist 50 years ago, they'll do that too.
00:12:36.420
It's all about delegitimizing him as a political person, saying that it's not even acceptable to
00:12:47.720
consider voting for him. And so Salon.com is following this thread here. And the argument is
00:12:56.280
far right MAGA theocrats are the most dangerous threat to America. So at a time shortly after Hamas
00:13:07.860
terrorists slaughtered over a thousand Israeli civilians, children, women, the elderly, at a time
00:13:15.640
when the terror threat is a little bit higher right now, Salon.com is countering this fact
00:13:22.140
by saying, no, no, you think Hamas is bad. You think Hezbollah is bad. No, no, no. The real threat
00:13:28.120
are the far right MAGA people. And the way you know you're, they're trying to compare them to the
00:13:32.960
Muslims is they're, they're calling them MAGA theocrats. And whatever you want to say about
00:13:37.100
Donald Trump, he's not a theocrat, right? He's a apparently lapsed Presbyterian. I don't think
00:13:46.780
anyone has ever said that Donald Trump is part of the religious right. You know, he's marching in
00:13:50.700
lockstep with Jerry Falwell or some hard right Christian conservative person. Far from it. The
00:13:59.900
knock on Trump is that he's lived a kind of playboy libertine lifestyle, even though he's, he's been
00:14:05.820
great and advanced a lot of Christian priorities. So that's why they say it's the far right MAGA
00:14:11.060
theocrats, but they can't really go after Trump on it. So they've got to go after someone else.
00:14:15.660
They previously would go after Mike Pence, but Pence is obviously long, long off the Trump train.
00:14:20.760
So now they're going against Mike Johnson. They're saying, it's the first line of the article,
00:14:26.020
even Mitch McConnell is trying to push back against Mike Johnson and the MAGA wing of the GOP.
00:14:32.220
It isn't working. And they go on and on and on about the FBI issuing a warning of terror attacks
00:14:41.620
and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But actually the real threat are these nice, meek
00:14:46.500
Christian conservatives. Does anybody believe this? Does anybody believe that nice Mike Johnson or nice,
00:14:54.400
previously Mike Pence or some just ordinary Christian conservative is the biggest terror threat in
00:15:02.300
America? No. But if the liberals can convince just enough people in just enough positions of power
00:15:12.180
that Donald Trump should not even be considered for the presidency, that judges should try to disqualify
00:15:18.760
him, that secretaries of state in the various states should take him off the ballot, that big tech
00:15:25.580
should not platform his dangerous speech, then maybe then the people won't have a chance to vote
00:15:33.200
for him. Then maybe then the people won't have sufficient information about the campaign. Then maybe then
00:15:39.760
they won't have to deal with the problem that is glaring them in the face from the polls,
00:15:44.720
the problem that they've been trying to deny for years now, which is that Trump is popular,
00:15:50.180
that people like him. They thought he couldn't possibly win in 2016. That's why they encouraged
00:15:55.700
him to be the GOP nominee, because he was going to be the easiest one to beat. And then President
00:15:59.640
Hillary was going to walk in and none of that happened. Trump won. And so they said, yikes,
00:16:04.780
we can't let this happen again. So they rigged it in 2020. And now they're trying to take him off the
00:16:08.480
ballot. If they thought the guy would just lose at the ballot box, they wouldn't be trying to
00:16:13.000
delegitimize him in this way. Now, getting to the most important story of the day, this is the scoop
00:16:19.240
of the year. And it comes from Stephen Crowder. I would say that this is the biggest scoop in three
00:16:26.920
years, five years. It's certainly up there. It's in the top three. I think probably the biggest
00:16:31.200
news scoops of the last three, four years were the New York Times, New York Times, excuse me,
00:16:37.260
they don't scoop anything. They just repeat the propaganda they hear from the Biden administration.
00:16:41.040
The biggest scoops would be the New York Post with the Hunter Biden laptop story.
00:16:46.740
I would say up there would be our own story that we broke, the Loudoun County
00:16:51.680
trans rape in the school story that I think did a lot to help get Glenn Youngkin elected governor.
00:16:58.300
And that I think blew the lid off a lot of the trans propaganda. And this story, which I guess is
00:17:04.600
related to the trans propaganda story, Stephen Crowder was able to get a leak of the manifesto
00:17:12.420
from the trans shooter who shot up that Christian school here in Nashville, Tennessee, and killed
00:17:18.960
innocent little children. And the FBI didn't want to release the manifesto because it didn't fit the
00:17:24.520
narrative. The shooters are supposed to be far right wing. They're supposed to be men,
00:17:29.860
neo-Nazi disturbed men who listened to conservative media. That's what it's got to be. And that wasn't
00:17:35.520
the case here. In the case of the Nashville shooter, she was a trans identifying leftist who
00:17:45.080
seems to have hated Christians, seems to have hated white people, seems to have hated conservatives,
00:17:51.200
seems to have bought into a left wing narrative. And here's the evidence. According to the leak,
00:18:00.440
which Daily Wire has said is genuine, we don't have confirmation confirmation, but it certainly seems
00:18:05.760
real. Some of the quotes are, kill those kids, three exclamation marks, those crackers going to
00:18:12.380
private fancy schools with those fancy khakis and sports backpacks with their daddy's Mustangs and
00:18:17.320
convertibles. This is a 28-year-old woman who wrote in her diary on February 3rd, all those things.
00:18:23.620
I wish to shoot your weak ass D-I-C-K-S with your mop yellow hair, want to kill all you little
00:18:31.420
crackers, bunch of little with your white privileges. That's another line from the diary.
00:18:38.600
I hope I have a high death count ready to die. Ha ha ha. Okay.
00:18:42.900
Okay. This person is obviously disturbed, possessed, or at the very least mentally ill.
00:18:51.960
No question. Obviously the person's mentally ill. This woman thinks she's a man. So yes,
00:18:57.240
she, there's no doubt. But beyond the obvious mental illness, just the language.
00:19:03.180
Is this right-wing language or left-wing language? When some crazy shooter shoots up a place and is
00:19:12.880
quoting Hitler or is quoting some right-wing figure or whatever, all the news are going to report this
00:19:18.460
is a far right-wing ideologue speaking in far right-wing language and it was inspired by the
00:19:23.020
far right-wing people. Well, okay. Ask yourself, reading this language, crackers, those private fancy
00:19:31.400
schools. I want to shoot you little crackers with your white privilege, white privilege. What kind
00:19:38.220
of language is this? Is this the language of a far right-winger or is this the language of a leftist?
00:19:44.220
Obviously a leftist. This is someone steeped in leftist ideology and who engages in leftist behavior.
00:19:50.080
That's why there was a coverup. That's why the FBI refused to release this. Daily Wire requested this
00:19:54.120
multiple times. We were shut down every step of the way. The FBI wanted to cover it up because
00:19:58.960
it isn't a clear example, putting even the mental illness aside, of left-wing political violence.
00:20:07.480
That's why right now after this leaked, there was an investigation that was announced
00:20:11.900
into the leaker. The first thing the authorities said was not, how do we prevent these attacks from
00:20:19.580
happening in the future? It was not what inspired this attacker. No, no, no. The question was, hey,
00:20:24.520
who let the cat out of the bag? Hey, who told that this was a left-winger? That's why. Because
00:20:32.900
this is only a partial release, but from the partial leak, we can see this is consistently
00:20:38.220
left-wing language. Not good stuff. Now, a little silver lining amid the storm cloud of a lot of

00:22:20.420
being shouted from the woke libs. It's not just the Razors. Degree, Dove, Native have all joined
00:22:27.080
in the woke culture, but we're not here to complain. We're here to complain a little bit,
00:22:31.060
but we're mostly here to create alternative quality products that match your expectations
00:22:35.000
and resonate with your values. That is why we asked the obvious question after releasing
00:22:39.040
Jeremy's Razors. What do you want from Jeremy's next? You made it clear with no need for us to call
00:22:44.900
in a specialized research team to find out what you wanted. You wanted Jeremy's deodorant. Okay,
00:22:50.540
well, we're proud once again to give you exactly what you asked for. Introducing Jeremy's deodorant,
00:22:56.920
keeping you safe from the unpleasant smell of liberalism. We stick to the ingredients you can
00:23:02.780
trust and pronounce like cocoa oil. Cocoa oil. It's coconut oil and shea butter. Ingredients that
00:23:09.080
make you smell great, but are not toxic to masculinity. With no room for aluminum,
00:23:14.460
phthalates, I think I'm pronouncing that correctly, talc or ads with unattractive models
00:23:19.240
that no one needs to see topless. We care about what goes on your body. That is why our Jeremy's
00:23:25.220
deodorant is made up of simple ingredients. No greasy surprises, no residue. It's all new. It's
00:23:30.560
available right now. Go to jeremysrazors.com to get yours today. By the way, very exciting
00:23:37.040
announcement coming this week. That's all I'm going to say for now. You know I'm a little bit
00:23:41.880
of a tease when it comes to these things. Speaking of leftist sexual pathologies,
00:23:49.860
the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, the ASRM, not to be confused with the ASMR,
00:23:58.860
which is the American Society for Medicine about Reproduction. No, that's not, that would be the
00:24:10.280
ASMR. This is the ASRM. They have redefined the term infertility. So what is, what is infertility?
00:24:18.340
It used to be pretty simple, right? You're just, you're not able to conceive the natural way.
00:24:27.720
Here's the new definition. Okay. Infertility is a disease, condition, or status characterized by any
00:24:34.360
of the following. Okay. The inability to achieve a successful pregnancy based on a patient's medical,
00:24:40.760
sexual, and reproductive history, age, physical findings, diagnostic testing, or any combination of
00:24:46.020
these factors. So far, okay. It seems generally okay. The need for medical intervention, including
00:24:53.400
but not limited to, the use of donor gametes or donor embryos in order to achieve a successful
00:24:58.040
pregnancy either as an individual or with a partner. Okay. Okay. I'm getting a little weirder.
00:25:04.560
All right. In patients having regular unprotected intercourse and without any known etiology for
00:25:10.780
either partner, suggestive impaired reproductive ability. Evaluation should be initiated at 12 months
00:25:15.440
when the female partner is under 35 years of age and at six months when the female partner is at 35
00:25:22.220
years of age or older. Okay. That part seems generally okay. So hold on. Let's go back a little
00:25:31.120
bit. What is this medical intervention? You're getting a need for donor gametes or donor embryos in order to
00:25:37.540
achieve successful pregnancy because of your status and your sexual history. Okay. Hold on. Wait.
00:25:42.740
Are you telling me that homosexuals are now considered infertile? Yes. The ASRM makes it clear.
00:25:52.360
They say, this is according to Jared Robbins, medical doctor, this revised definition reflects that all
00:25:58.440
persons, regardless of marital status, sexual orientation, or gender identity deserve equal access
00:26:05.260
to reproductive medicine. This inclusive definition helps ensure that anyone seeking to build a family
00:26:12.080
has equitable access to infertility treatment and care. There it is. So there we get it.
00:26:21.880
This gets to the very heart of the so-called gay marriage debate. I say so-called because one,
00:26:27.360
gay marriage is not real. And two, there never was a debate. What was the debate? The debate was,
00:26:32.900
what, you don't think that gay people should have the right to get married? No, that was never the
00:26:38.120
actual subject of the debate. A real debate over redefining marriage would first begin with the
00:26:43.840
question, what is marriage? Does sexual difference have something to do with marriage? I talked about
00:26:48.640
this last night at Cornell. I think it probably has something to do with marriage, doesn't it?
00:26:54.660
Okay, well, if sexual difference is intrinsic to marriage, then there's no such thing as gay marriage.
00:27:02.560
There can't be. Because by definition, two men could not get married to one another, and two women
00:27:07.720
could not get married to one another. Homosexuals cannot be said to be infertile by their nature
00:27:15.660
because two men never can produce a baby together. And two women never can produce a baby together.
00:27:23.760
For all that the libs love to talk about the need for sexual education in the public schools,
00:27:29.480
they don't seem to know the first two things about it. So why do they do this? They're doing this
00:27:35.840
in part because they've accepted the premise that men and women are exactly the same,
00:27:39.960
and they're indiscernible, and they're indistinguishable, and they're totally able to
00:27:45.780
be substituted one for the other, which is a premise not only of transgenderism, but also of
00:27:51.640
the homosexual movement and the feminist movement. But furthermore, they're doing this so that
00:27:57.300
when there is some medical right, whether through private insurance or through a government program,
00:28:02.240
to reproductive health care, that they're going to offer it to the homosexuals, and they're going to
00:28:08.020
allow homosexual couples to purchase children like commodities, like they're going out to buy a
00:28:14.400
handbag. And what they're going to do is thereby establish the domination of technology and of the
00:28:21.160
state over the origin and destiny of human life. That's what it's about. Nobody is seriously confused
00:28:28.260
by the meaning of infertility. No homosexual guy is going to the doctor saying,
00:28:36.680
Doc, me and Billy, we've been trying for 10 years now to conceive a baby. It's just not working.
00:28:43.360
You know, I mean, we've tried it a bunch of different ways, and there's no babies getting
00:28:47.100
produced. Well, let's run some tests. I don't know, Bob, why you and Billy aren't able to conceive
00:28:52.440
a child. No, everyone knows. Everyone knows that that's not how babies are made. So the left is doing
00:28:58.240
what the left always does, which is to manipulate language, to attempt to redefine reality by changing
00:29:08.840
the words. They think that they can change the meaning of the words, the thing that the words
00:29:15.960
signify. And at the very least, they think they can fool everybody and force people to fool
00:29:19.980
themselves. Nobody really is fooled. All that will happen is we'll live in lies and we'll all pretend
00:29:27.540
and we'll invert society such that, well, at this very basic level, no longer are parents there to
00:29:35.760
nurture their children, but actually the children are just there to nurture and entertain their
00:29:41.680
parents. No longer are children the product of love between a mother and a father whose love
00:29:49.980
is so real that it becomes another person. But children are just something to be bought
00:29:55.640
from scientists and the state, like a handbag or a new watch. Turning our attention out to very
00:30:03.100
fertile people, Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden has a new op-ed in USA Today. Headline is,
00:30:11.160
I fought to get sober. Political weaponization of my addiction hurts more than me. My struggles and
00:30:17.100
my mistakes have been fodder for a vile and sustained disinformation campaign against my father
00:30:22.260
and an all-out annihilation of my reputation. Hunter in USA Today. Okay. Here are the key parts.
00:30:30.820
And this tells you a lot about where the Bidens are. He says, my struggles and my mistakes have
00:30:36.760
been fodder for this vile and sustained disinformation campaign against Biden and all-out annihilation of my
00:30:42.460
reputation through high-pitched but fruitless congressional investigations. Hold on, put a pause there.
00:30:47.680
Fruitless. We got the smoking gun. We got the confirmation from you that you are the bag man
00:30:55.940
for the Biden family, that you shake down leaders around the world selling American influence,
00:31:00.120
that you get money from them and then you pay at least 10%, if not 50% of it, to the big guy.
00:31:05.000
Then we got confirmation from your uncles, from Joe's brothers, who send Joe money when they shake
00:31:11.560
down enough oligarchs. They send Joe money, sometimes that very same day, for hundreds of thousands of
00:31:16.000
dollars without any other explanation than, here's your cut, big guy. Fruitless investigations.
00:31:23.020
We know that you had these shady business deals wired to you using your father's address as the
00:31:28.840
beneficiary address. Fruitless investigations. Totally fruitless. And more recently, he writes,
00:31:34.880
criminal charges for possessing an unloaded gun for 11 days five years ago. Charges that appear to be
00:31:40.900
the first of their kind ever brought in the history of Delaware. Yeah, you were being charged for that
00:31:45.460
because the prosecutors were giving you a sweetheart deal to not charge you for any of the serious crimes.
00:31:50.540
The serious crimes of public interest go way beyond the gun charge. The serious crimes of public interest
00:31:57.060
go to racketeering. Serious crimes of public interest go to failing to register as a foreign agent.
00:32:03.100
Serious crimes of foreign interest involve your father getting bribed when he was the vice president
00:32:06.660
of the United States. These are these charges. These are trumped up charges. Yeah, because they didn't
00:32:13.680
bring any of the real charges against you. This was the way to get you off the hook, bro. Then he goes on.
00:32:18.640
And this is the key. What troubles me. Forget about me. It's not just about attacks on me, Hunter. No,
00:32:27.180
no. What troubles me is the demonization of addiction. Of human frailty. Using me as its avatar
00:32:34.120
and the devastating consequences it has for the millions struggling with addiction. Desperate for
00:32:39.820
a way out and being bombarded by the denigrating and near constant coverage of me and my addiction
00:32:45.500
on Fox News. More airtime than GOP presidential candidate Ron DeSantis gets. And in the New York
00:32:52.460
Post, an average of two stories a day over the past year. Yeah, because the New York Post broke
00:32:57.300
the story, not just of your addiction and all the weird photos and videos that you put on your
00:33:01.840
computer that you took yourself and that you left at this repair shop and it was suppressed by big tech,
00:33:07.780
but of your crimes, your financial and political crimes. This op-ed to me is so desperate. For a
00:33:16.000
man who, Hunter Biden's done a lot of desperate things, this to me seems like the most desperate
00:33:21.120
example. They got this guy, and by they I mean we, the conservatives, we've got this guy dead to
00:33:29.460
rights on corruption. This is his last ditch ever to say, hey, it's addiction. I'm suffering from a
00:33:36.120
disease. Yeah, I listen, I know addicts. Addiction is very hard. It's hard to get over addiction to
00:33:41.740
alcohol or drugs. But it's, look, we make jokes about it. You make jokes about political people.
00:33:48.900
Oh yeah, this one's a little fat. This one's a little bit of a booze hound. This one's a womanizer.
00:33:53.220
But it's, man, it's all of it. It's all of it. It's the, it's the hookers and it's the crack,
00:34:01.340
sure. And it's the, but more than that, it's the, it's the painting. You took up painting and now
00:34:08.160
you're selling your artwork for half a million dollars a piece for your doodles, your little
00:34:11.700
doodles that you do that a five-year-old could do. I'm not making fun of your art, Hunter Biden.
00:34:16.240
I'm making fun of your, of your graft. I'm making fun of your con because art collection, first of all,
00:34:21.440
is one of the most prominent and well-known avenues for money laundering that there is.
00:34:27.780
And nobody thinks that your ridiculous doodles are worth half a million dollars. It's obviously
00:34:32.000
just a way to keep the con going. Now that you've got a little more attention on you and it's hard
00:34:36.840
for you to go shake down CCP officials in China or oligarchs in Ukraine. But it's also the pitching
00:34:45.240
up 10 for the big guy. It's also the introducing Joe to your business partner. And then Joe, your
00:34:53.640
father, Wally's vice president saying to your business partner, I'm really glad you and Hunter
00:34:57.680
hooked up. Yeah, that's good. I hope you enjoyed that lunch with the president of China today.
00:35:01.340
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I hope you guys do good business together. It's your father calling into 20 plus
00:35:06.360
phone calls. It's your father sending tens of thousands of emails under pseudonyms when he's
00:35:10.780
vice president of the United States. Many of which were, were to conduct business with your business
00:35:16.000
partner and your shady overseas contacts. They got this guy dead to rights. And the best thing he can
00:35:21.320
do is say, Hey, you're mocking addicts. This is like John Fetterman. When John, anytime you criticize
00:35:28.520
John Fetterman, he says, you're mocking stroke victims, mocking stroke. First of all, man, people
00:35:34.360
were mocking John Fetterman long before his stroke. Two, if you have had a stroke and you've, you're
00:35:39.320
mentally debilitated, you should resign from the Senate. It's no knock on you. It's not to say you're
00:35:43.500
an immoral person because you've had a health problem, but you're just not up to the job and you
00:35:47.200
should resign. But three, no, one does not mock stroke victims broadly. One goes after you because
00:35:55.980
you're a kid who kid, he's a grown man, obviously now, but since he was a kid, he never really had
00:36:01.600
that serious a job. He was getting handouts from mom and dad. He had a radical political agenda.
00:36:07.820
He's not the working class hero. He presented himself as that's what people are. And whenever
00:36:13.940
people knock him for any reason, he's, oh, it's, you're just knocking me for my disability.
00:36:18.340
Same thing here with Hunter Biden, even more ridiculous from Hunter Biden. Okay. This is a
00:36:23.680
story. Got to turn our attention away from bad fathers in politics, bad father-son combos to
00:36:28.820
good father-son combos. There is a ridiculous attack right now on Mike Johnson, the new Republican
00:36:33.880
Speaker of the House. Rolling Stone, Rolling Stone, one of the truly degenerate publications out
00:36:42.040
there. Rolling Stone, which had to change its headline defaming me after the Daily Wire made
00:36:48.940
legal demands of them. And after a sitting United States Senator, Senator Mike Lee also said that I
00:36:54.740
had a good case against these guys, these types of journalists, Rolling Stone changed a defamatory
00:36:59.780
headline. So they don't have a lot of journalistic credibility. Rolling Stone attacks Republican
00:37:08.900
Speaker, Mike Johnson, for being a good father, which we'll get to in one second. First though,

00:38:29.560
My favorite comment yesterday is from the Drummer's Workshop, Norm's Music, who says,
00:38:34.020
graduating from Trump University would be cool because you can say it was your alma maga.
00:38:40.740
You know that I'm a sucker for a good pun. That's a very good pun. That's another reason to promote
00:38:46.840
the new American Academy initiative under Trump. The Libs have their alma mater,
00:38:53.460
and you will have your alma maga. Rolling Stone runs this headline. They say,
00:39:00.780
Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, admitted that he and his son monitored each other's porn intake
00:39:08.880
in a resurfaced clip from 2020. Whoa, wow, man. That's gross and weird, isn't it?
00:39:14.600
Wow, that's what kind of weird stuff is the Republican speaker into?
00:39:17.520
What the? Hold on. Well, let's just listen, because we have the clip. Here's what actually happened.
00:39:25.920
Covenant Eyes is the software that we've been using a long time in our household.
00:39:30.780
And what it is, it's accountability software. So men in a church, you know, men's Bible study groups
00:39:35.440
will do it. That's how it's presented at Promise Keepers. But they also mentioned, hey,
00:39:38.920
when your kids become teenagers, especially if you have boys, dads, they're talking to the guys at this
00:39:43.240
event, you might want to think about doing this with your sons. It scans, you obviously opt into
00:39:48.240
it, but it scans every, all the activity on your phone or your devices, your laptop, tablet, what
00:39:52.900
have you. We do all of it. And then it sends a report to your accountability partner. So my
00:39:58.780
accountability partner right now is Jack, my son, right? And so he's 17. So he and I get a report
00:40:04.440
of all the things that are on our phones or all of our devices once a week. If anything objectionable
00:40:10.080
comes up, your accountability partner gets an immediate notice. I'm proud to tell you, my son
00:40:14.720
is, he's got a clean slate. All right. But, but we get, we get a report and it says, hey, no, no
00:40:19.600
activity of concern. And it's really, really sensitive. It'll pick up almost anything. It
00:40:23.160
looks for keywords, search terms, and also images. Oh, so sorry. The actual story is good father
00:40:34.100
discourages mortal sin and sets a good example for his son and then holds himself accountable
00:40:44.300
in front of his son so that his son knows that he's not a hypocrite. Subjects himself to the
00:40:51.480
same demands, moral demands that he's making of his son and allows his son to hold him accountable
00:40:57.880
if he were to violate them. So, so the actual story is this man is a good father, not doing
00:41:06.520
weird sex stuff at all and discouraging his kids from doing weird sex stuff. And the absolute
00:41:12.660
degenerates, these people at Rolling Stone who I have to imagine have just burned out their brains
00:41:18.740
on such an extraordinarily high degree of porn consumption. They, the way they read that is
00:41:25.540
the speaker of the house, Mike Johnson admitted as though he, what, as though he regrets this or
00:41:34.140
something, as though this is some dark confession. He's encouraging this. He is promoting this at a
00:41:40.180
public forum. Admitted that he and his son monitor each other's porn intake. Quite the opposite,
00:41:45.980
actually. They monitor each other's lack of porn intake because this man is a good father by all
00:41:52.800
accounts. He's well-formed and he's raising his son in a good way. In a resurfaced cliff, a research,
00:41:59.000
like we, oh, we had to dig this one up. I'm sure Mike Johnson would talk about this on the floor of
00:42:02.700
the house. This is great. So the actual story here is that the current Republican speaker is an excellent
00:42:09.760
parent. And the, and the story is, this is weird or gross or evil in some way. Woe to those who call good
00:42:20.480
evil and evil good. Amazing. I, I, in a way I want to give Rolling Stone the benefit of the doubt. I do suspect
00:42:28.960
that on the physical level, their brains and perhaps on the medical metaphysical level, their souls
00:42:35.560
are so burned out by vice and a failure to repent and an unwillingness to repent that they just don't
00:42:44.260
get it. They don't get that. That's a good, that's, you know, these libs, they say, you should talk to
00:42:49.260
your kids about porn. You should, we should have porn in elementary school libraries. We should
00:42:53.360
encourage all sorts of weird sexual behaviors. Uh, no, that's the bad, that's the bad, creepy one.
00:42:58.380
That's the bad. If you want to be a good parent, do what Mike Johnson's doing. Speaking of our corrupt
00:43:04.220
media, before we go for years now, for years, we have heard that the war in Ukraine is the most
00:43:13.140
important battle for democracy ever. But Ukraine, which we all thought of as a kind of corrupt
00:43:19.820
oligarchy, former Soviet state, it, this is the battle. It's basically the 51st U.S. state.
00:43:27.700
All the American politicians need to start wearing Ukraine flags. Slava, Ukraini, we will win. We've
00:43:34.220
got to, if we don't defeat Putin in Ukraine, this will be the World War III because Putin's Hitler
00:43:42.000
and he's taking Czechoslovakia now. He's going to take Poland and he's going to, he's Hitler.
00:43:48.440
And then, let me just get this report out from NBC. U.S. and European officials have begun
00:43:54.860
quietly talking to Ukraine about peace negotiations with Russia. To end the war, this is according to
00:44:01.080
one senior U.S. official and one former senior U.S. official, which of course is happening.
00:44:06.260
Some of us have been saying for a while now that at a certain point, they're just going to have to
00:44:11.280
negotiate peace because Ukraine cannot defeat Russia. The United States could defeat Russia.
00:44:16.400
If we became hot, direct belligerents in the war, we could defeat Russia. Ukraine cannot. It is not
00:44:22.160
possible. But they have that American transvestite as their spokesman. Yeah, that's not going to help
00:44:27.400
them. But they have the flags, you know, on social media with the people. Right, that's not going to
00:44:33.100
help them either. It is not possible for Ukraine on its own or even with significant support from
00:44:39.920
NATO and from the United States to defeat Russia on the battlefield. It cannot happen.
00:44:44.660
So finally, American and European officials are saying, all right, Ukraine, negotiate a peace.
00:44:53.800
What was the point of the last two years? More than two years at this point. What was the point?
00:44:59.340
What was achieved? A lot of Ukrainians died. And a lot of Russians died. And you actually heard some
00:45:10.060
American politicians talk about this. They say, oh, this is great. We got to keep funding the war
00:45:13.240
in Ukraine because we're just killing off the Ruskies. And that's really good. We're just
00:45:16.400
killing them. We don't even have to kill them. We just send the weapons and Ukraine kills them. And a
00:45:20.360
lot of the Ukrainians die too, but it's okay. At least we don't have to do it.
00:45:24.120
But it's going to be the same result that it would have been two years ago. They're going
00:45:32.680
to negotiate a peace. They're going to give Russia some territory. They're going to agree not to join
00:45:36.720
NATO. They're probably going to agree not to join the European Union. They'll just probably be a buffer
00:45:44.440
state. Presumably Zelensky will have to be ousted if possible. They'll end up almost exactly where they
00:45:52.540
were three, four years ago. What happened to the great battle for democracy? Imagine how quickly the
00:46:02.360
narrative can change. We'll get to so much more. There's so much more that I want to get to. But I have
00:46:10.460
to be a tease because we're on the road. I'm here in Ithaca. Ithaca is gorgeous, by the way. Cornell was a great
00:46:17.240
deal of fun. And they're going to air that tonight, I think on the YAF YouTube channel. And then in the
00:46:22.720
meantime, I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show. See you tomorrow.
