00:00:37.620 I had a great time yesterday speaking at CPAC in Washington, D.C. I flew in for the day,

00:00:43.420 I gave my speech, I flew back. Simple as. But before I could even board the plane to fly back,

00:00:50.340 I noticed that Joe Biden's presidential campaign had attacked me over my speech. I was very confused.

00:00:58.120 This year's speech was relatively quite tame compared to last year's. No calls for eradication,

00:01:05.500 not too much focus on the trans issue. What could they possibly be upset about?

00:01:11.840 And then I read the attack. They wrote, quote, top Trump advocate at CPAC echoes,

00:01:19.460 there was a typo, they didn't spell echoes correctly, but I, you know, it's the Biden campaign. So

00:01:23.560 top Trump advocate at CPAC echoes MAGA's Project 2025 plan to go after marriage equality during a second

00:01:33.520 Trump term. And then it put a colon and they wrote out what I said, sort of. They also misspelled this

00:01:41.140 and had all sorts of errors, but basically they got the gist. They said, this is what this awful

00:01:46.580 Michael says. And I said, marriage is between a man and a woman. So put their tweet aside for a

00:01:53.820 second. Here is actually what I said in video, in audio at CPAC.

00:01:59.160 They really believe that they are masters of the universe. They think they're gods who can create

00:02:05.640 the world anew through the power of their words, but they aren't. And they can't, they can't really

00:02:11.720 turn men into women. They can't really turn a couple of men or a couple of women or three men 0.59

00:02:17.960 and a billy goat for that matter into a marriage. That's just not what marriage is. No disrespect is 0.96

00:02:25.060 intended to anyone. Some people don't want to get married. Okay, there's no obligation,

00:02:32.040 but marriage has a meaning. Marriage is and always has been the union of a man and a woman

00:02:38.220 ordered toward the procreation and education of children. If you don't like that, don't blame

00:02:44.400 me. I didn't set the rules. It wasn't the mean old conservatives who did this.

00:02:50.880 We did not invent marriage. Marriage is a natural institution. It just is what it is.

00:02:59.380 The left will slander us as hateful for observing this fact. There's nothing hateful about it.

00:03:05.180 There's nothing hateful about reality. Quite the opposite, actually.

00:03:10.860 The Biden campaign was very, very upset that I articulated the view of marriage held by every

00:03:19.240 single person everywhere throughout all of history until about five minutes ago.

00:03:24.540 Not surprising. Not surprising at all, actually. I should have anticipated this.

00:03:29.460 The libs get triggered by common sense all the time. The awkward part, though, for the Biden campaign

00:03:37.180 is that I was simply paraphrasing the view that President Joe Biden himself held until very,

00:03:44.500 very recently. The Defense of Marriage Act, where we've all voted, not where I voted and others said,

00:03:49.400 look, marriage is between a man and a woman and states must respect that. Nobody's violated that law.

00:03:56.560 There's been no challenge to that law. Why do we need a constitutional amendment?

00:04:01.040 Marriage is between a man and a woman. What's the game going on here? 0.85

00:04:05.780 I did not think that anything could top the crazy reaction to last year's CPAC speech.

00:04:12.140 But this year might take the cake, as the President of the United States is now attacking me

00:04:17.540 for agreeing with him. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:04:21.480 Welcome back to the show. The libs are up in arms, not just about me. They're also up in arms about

00:04:46.400 Trump because Trump said that Russia defeated Hitler, which it did. But the libs are upset about

00:04:52.700 that because they've never cracked a history book in their entire lives. So we will talk about that

00:06:04.840 you I was taken aback by the controversy. I know that the libs believe that because five seconds ago

00:06:11.360 they said that marriage is no longer what it always has been everywhere in the world. I know that they

00:06:16.740 really believe that they did something, but still, I don't know. To me, that didn't seem like the

00:06:23.460 craziest, most outrageous part of my speech. In my speech at CPAC, I said that historically speaking,

00:06:28.880 we're not a nation of immigrants. I said that historically speaking, the notion that diversity

00:06:33.980 is our strength is rather novel and silly and ridiculous. I don't know. There were a few lines 0.95

00:06:39.400 in there that I felt, okay, the libs are really going to push back on this. But no, these guys,

00:06:45.920 the only thing they cared about is I said that the view that Christians and Muslims and conservative

00:06:55.040 Jews and pagans from antiquity through the present and pretty much that everybody has ever held about

00:07:02.760 marriage continues to be true. And it isn't different now just because some robed lawyers

00:07:10.220 on the Supreme Court said so a few years ago. Even I am surprised that articulating the view of marriage

00:07:19.820 that was held by virtually every single current prominent Democrat politician until at the earliest

00:07:28.600 2012, 2011, 2012, maybe, and then as late as 2015, that I hold that view. And then the libs say,

00:07:37.700 they're trying to take us back to the 1950s. I don't know. On this question, I'm trying to take

00:07:41.880 you back to 2014. I'm trying to take you back to Joe Biden's view, the current president's view,

00:07:46.720 not that long ago. But they really came after me, the Biden campaign. Governor Patrick Bateman over

00:07:52.260 there in California, Newsom came after me personally and tweeted out the speech. Really,

00:07:57.660 really silly stuff. Now, I had to fly in and fly out, which is fine. I'm glad to be back in the studio

00:08:03.920 today. There is, however, one great regret that I have. And that is I was scheduled to meet

00:08:12.220 the leader of El Salvador, Naib Bukele, possibly my favorite, one of my favorite world leaders today.

00:08:18.960 This is the man who took El Salvador from being the most dangerous nation in the world to being 0.80

00:08:23.040 the safest nation in the Western Hemisphere. Really strong conservative leader. He gave an

00:08:28.980 amazing speech, giving thanks to God after his recent election. This guy, I was, I don't know,

00:08:36.120 within 20 or 30 minutes of being scheduled to get to shake this guy's hand and have a few words and

00:08:40.600 just say, you are the man, Mr. Bukele. But my flight, my flight was my flight. It was the last

00:08:47.220 one out of DC to get back to Nashville. And we're talking about matters of the heart now. Never doubt

00:08:52.220 that I love you all, that I would give up on shaking the hand of this great world leader just

00:08:57.620 to be back in the studio for all of you this morning. I hope, though, that I have the opportunity

00:09:02.680 to meet Mr. Bukele at some point in the future, either when he's in the States or if I, I don't know,

00:09:07.540 if I go on a vacation to El Salvador or something like that, because this guy brought the house down.

00:09:11.980 I say this with no false modesty and true humility. There was some, there was some buzz around my

00:09:16.780 speech because it got so much play last year. By far, there's not, not even close. The most

00:09:23.140 anticipated, most exciting speaker at CPAC yesterday was the leader of El Salvador. Everyone, myself

00:09:30.440 included. I got to see a little bit of the speech before I had to head out. The guy was electric.

00:09:35.260 He was totally on fire. Here's what he had to say.

00:09:38.340 They say globalism comes to die at CPAC. I'm here to tell you that in El Salvador,

00:09:46.660 it's already dead. But if you want globalism to die here too, you must be willing to unapologetically

00:09:54.420 fight against everything and everyone that stands for it. These dark forces are already taking over

00:10:01.340 your country. You may not see it yet, but it's already happening. You don't see it as clearly

00:10:10.360 because people are designed to see linear changes, not exponential ones. We don't always recognize

00:10:17.740 how fast the problem can multiply and spiral out of control. The problem is much like the metaphor of

00:10:25.160 the boiling frog. Once the water boils, it's already too late. People fail to see these things.

00:10:33.400 It's our nature. Just like the frog, people become complacent and they don't realize how bad things are

00:10:41.320 getting until it's too late. This is a great insight. Now, if you want to hear more great

00:10:47.260 insights like this and then some insights on those insights, you got to subscribe to the Michael

00:10:50.080 Knowles YouTube channel. Smash that bell right now. Subscribe, ring it, click it, ding it, whatever

00:10:55.980 you got to do, make sure that you subscribe. Thank you very much. Naib Bukele not only says,

00:11:02.660 look at what we've done in El Salvador. His whole speech was really terrific.

00:11:05.340 He not only gives a warning to the United States, but he has this key insight. He says,

00:11:09.580 people are designed to see things in a linear way. We just expect that the way things are

00:11:17.220 is the way things are always going to be. We're not designed to see exponential changes.

00:11:24.360 He said, what you don't understand is the dark forces at work in the world, they're here. They're

00:11:30.740 already working on your country and you're not seeing it. So by the time you catch it,

00:11:35.540 it's going to be a little bit too late. Think about the 2020 election. A lot of Americans realized

00:11:41.380 that the election had been rigged only on election night when we had to wait for all these mail-in

00:11:47.300 ballots to come in or when we had to wait for all these different kinds of strange poll-watching

00:11:54.340 shenanigans and the long voter counts because of different provisional kinds of voting.

00:12:00.360 That was all in place 12 to 18 months prior. Mark Zuckerberg, to use just one example,

00:12:08.360 was donating a lot of money to left-wing organizations explicitly and directly to deny

00:12:16.020 Trump the presidency. Those left-wing organizations were going in. They were setting up drop boxes for

00:12:22.140 ballots that were far away from the county clerks. They were going in. There were ballot harvesting

00:12:28.540 organizations that were going out to the areas where conservatives weren't going to go and they

00:12:32.880 were collecting those ballots and they were doing all of this for months and months and months.

00:12:38.740 Conservatives, some knew and were warning about it, but most people just said, oh, no big deal,

00:12:43.240 whatever. We'll see. I think Trump will win the election. Biden's a terrible candidate. He's getting

00:12:46.740 three people to show up to his rallies. Trump, he's had some missteps and some people don't like his

00:12:51.060 tweets, but he's been a good president. We got peace. We got a good economy. We're in the midst of this

00:12:55.300 pandemic. I guess we didn't see that one coming, but I don't know. How bad could it really be?

00:12:59.100 And then fast forward to the election, you say, oh, okay. Well, they changed the voting rules in

00:13:02.800 all the places that counted, in some cases unconstitutionally, and they dragged this

00:13:06.720 thing out, the counting out for a week or more. And then what do you know? In the middle of the

00:13:10.640 night, they stopped the counting. And when we wake up in the morning, Joe Biden's leading all of a

00:13:14.140 sudden, even though Trump had been leading the whole time. And you think, ah, darn, maybe we should 0.95

00:13:18.920 have ballot harvested. Oh, darn, maybe we should have fought some of these ballot drop boxes. 0.98

00:13:22.660 Oh, darn, maybe we should have fought the widespread mail-ins that were illegal and 0.99

00:13:26.520 unconstitutional in some cases. It was too late. You just don't think that way in America, 0.98

00:13:31.340 that a major political party is going to rig the election in a way that we've never seen before

00:13:36.400 in the country. That's what Bukele is talking about. And it goes way beyond just the Democrats.

00:13:40.740 I mean, you think about who really rules the country now. Where are most laws made? Most laws are not

00:13:47.640 made in Congress, certainly. Most laws are made in the administrative agencies, at the federal level,

00:13:54.220 certainly, and at the state level. And a lot of us just aren't aware of that. A lot of us just,

00:13:59.520 I don't know, we think that our government works like a bill up on Capitol Hill. But it doesn't.

00:14:04.060 It doesn't work anything like that at all. Bukele is saying, you got to watch out for that. And

00:14:09.760 there's a glimmer of hope here. It's not just, oh, the dark, evil libs are out there lurking in the

00:14:13.880 shadows. I actually think the glimmer of hope is, yeah. And then I cooked them. They were trying to

00:14:20.800 cook us in El Salvador. And then I cooked them. Because you know what I did? I got elected. And

00:14:24.660 I just rounded up all the criminals who were worshiping Satan and sacrificing people and

00:14:29.180 committing the worst crimes you can possibly imagine. And then I humiliated them on a national 0.90

00:14:33.240 level. And then you're going to be shocked what happened. I arrested the criminals and crime dropped.

00:14:38.460 What I also love about the Bukele example is he shows you this isn't that complicated. 0.88

00:14:43.160 These problems are difficult. They can be hard to achieve because of political conflict. But the

00:14:49.800 principles at play here are not that complicated. Bukele gets elected. He says, okay, I want crime

00:14:54.320 to go down. I'll probably arrest the criminals. Simple as. I mean, this is what Ronald Reagan said

00:14:59.540 in his most famous speech of his early career, A Time for Choosing. He said, well, the liberals accuse us

00:15:06.940 of offering simple answers to complex problems. Well, maybe the answers are simple. Not easy,

00:15:13.620 but simple. They are simple. And then you have to have the courage to actually do it. You have to

00:15:16.340 have the courage, like Bukele, to stare some face-tattooed demon in the face who's like 0.98

00:15:21.460 actually worshiping Satan and who's committing murder and rape and just the worst crimes imaginable. 0.99

00:15:25.840 Yeah, look that guy in the face. Then you got to arrest him. Then you got to arrest everyone he 0.82

00:15:29.460 knows. Then you got to make videos humiliating him and blast that out to the whole world.

00:15:33.180 And then guess what? You fix your problem. You fix your problem. If only we could recognize simple

00:15:39.520 answers and then have courage to implement answers. Obviously, America is a little different from El 0.97

00:15:44.540 Salvador, but we do the American version of it. Not such a bad idea. Now, you heard the libs when

00:15:50.980 they were attacking me talking about the 2025 plan. What's the 2025 agenda that they're all so worried

00:16:01.720 about? Well, Project 2025 is the brainchild of Kevin Roberts, who is an excellent leader of the

00:16:10.100 Heritage Foundation, probably the most prestigious and important conservative think tank. And it involves

00:16:17.400 many, many people from all around the conservative movement. And Project 2025 is designed to make sure

00:16:25.300 that assuming a Republican administration comes into office in 2025, assuming we got to be ready if a

00:16:32.400 Republican manages to get elected in 2024, they will not have to worry about what to do, what policies to

00:16:40.260 pursue, and who to hire. That will be ready to go on day one. I've been working with all of them on one

00:16:46.460 project since soon after Joe Biden took the oath of office before any conservative presidential candidates

00:16:52.520 had even entered the race. As my friend and colleague Paul Danz before talked about briefly,

00:16:59.200 our Project 2025 has developed a comprehensive policy agenda, but even more importantly, recruiting

00:17:05.700 people, 20,000 people, to go into the next administration, hopefully to help take back this

00:17:11.620 country for you and for your audiences. We want no credit. We want the American people, if President

00:17:22.440 Trump is elected again, President Trump and his administration, to take credit for that. But it

00:17:27.660 will also be a great sign if all of this is successful, that in fact, as we know in our prayer time, but

00:17:34.480 maybe not every time when we're watching the news, that the Lord is still smiling upon America.

00:17:38.800 Love it. Kevin is excellent. He is the best leader of the Heritage Foundation that I can imagine for

00:17:46.820 this moment and certainly one of the best leaders ever in the history of that organization. And we

00:17:51.760 need this kind of thing because this was the big challenge for Trump in 2017. When he took office,

00:17:58.440 it wasn't really Trump's fault. I guess ultimately you'd say it's Trump's fault because Trump was off

00:18:04.160 putting to some people. But again, so much of that was just media spin because they hated that he

00:18:09.120 offered an alternative to the weak and impotent Republican Party that had always just kind of 0.85

00:18:14.600 been the clown, the court jester in the kingdom of liberalism. Trump was not a Mitt Romney type. He 0.65

00:18:22.760 was not a guy who was going to go in there and at the crucial moments cave and vote with the Dems.

00:18:26.540 So they maligned him as Hitler 2.0. And because they did that, people didn't want to work with Trump.

00:18:31.200 The Trump administration had a major problem getting personnel.

00:18:35.460 And when you don't have personnel, you don't have great policy because personnel is policy.

00:18:39.420 So it is estimated that in order to really turn the ship of the bureaucracy around,

00:18:46.140 because our laws are not really made by Congress anymore. They're made by all these agencies.

00:18:49.500 If you want to really start to turn that ship, we're talking about a federal bureaucracy that,

00:18:53.780 depending on how you count it, could be as large as 2 million people. You would at the very least

00:18:58.220 have to swap out 40,000 to 50,000 people. Most presidential administrations, if they're lucky,

00:19:04.000 swap out 4,000 to 5,000. So you'd have to go 10x. You just need a lot of people. You need people who

00:19:09.960 are not just warm bodies, by the way. You have to have people with a clear political vision who are

00:19:14.240 competent. So you've got to start working on that early. That's part of Project 2025. And then,

00:19:19.120 of course, the policy vision. That's the key. Trump is great. He's got the best political guts that I've

00:19:24.020 seen gut instincts of any politician in my lifetime, which is how he managed to get elected to the

00:19:29.580 highest office on earth the first time he really gave it a go to run for any office. It's very

00:19:34.460 impressive. Even if you hate Trump, you've got to be kind of impressed by that. But, you know,

00:19:38.560 the man can't do everything. And so on certain policy issues, he had one view, then he kind of

00:19:43.160 moderated his view, then someone convinced him of another kind of view. And it's difficult. The man

00:19:46.960 spent his whole career in business, in real estate, in television, in media, and all these things. 0.87

00:19:51.940 So he wasn't, you know, some dork sitting down just reading dusty old books all the time wearing 0.82

00:19:57.320 tweed and a bow tie. I like those dorks. Those dorks are some of my best friends. But he wasn't 1.00

00:20:02.280 doing that. And so he needs real top advisors. He needs people who have a very clear policy vision

00:20:07.700 who are going to be able to say, okay, Mr. President, building on what you did in your

00:20:11.220 first administration, this is the way we've got to go here and here and here on everything, on the

00:20:15.200 economy, on immigration, on family, on war, on peace, on diplomacy, on just everything,

00:20:22.520 on transportation, for goodness sakes, so that we don't get stuck with Mayor Pete over there again,

00:20:27.400 you know, calling the bridges racist and letting trains get into crashes. So

00:20:32.600 the big takeaway I would say from this is they knock Trump for saying he doesn't learn,

00:20:39.980 he can't actually get stuff done, he doesn't score victories. I think he scored some pretty big

00:20:44.160 victories. You know, the fact that the guy managed to get Roe v. Wade overruled pretty big in my book.

00:20:49.380 But if that's the knock on him, well, just recognize you've now got representatives of

00:20:55.920 basically the entire conservative movement working on getting that agenda ready on day one.

00:21:01.280 Looks like Trump is quite amenable to working with it. If somehow we managed to get the Republican

00:21:08.140 nominee into office, we could be ready to roll, baby. I would love that. There is so much to say,

00:23:18.980 Forza Jersey, who says, what's amazing is that Mid Journey has no problem showing white people 0.97

00:23:24.700 in stereotypically white roles. Yeah, yeah, it's weird, isn't it? The other AI services,

00:23:32.760 when you ask them to depict things, they depict things as they usually look. But the Google AI

00:23:38.140 service erases white people from all of life and history. It's kind of weird. It's almost like the

00:23:43.740 problem is not so much with the AI as with the Google. It's almost like Google, I'm beginning to get

00:23:49.460 the impression. Google might not like white people very much. I'm not positive, but that's what I'm 1.00

00:23:55.420 starting to think. Okay, speaking of Trump, Trump's in big trouble for making this historic claim.

00:24:02.960 You're really up against a war machine in Russia. Russia, what they do? They defeated Hitler. They

00:24:07.580 defeated Napoleon. You know, they're a war machine. Cue all the social media posts. Trump thinks

00:24:13.040 Russia defeated Hitler. They, yes, they did. They did. Correct. That's funny. I'm watching a pretty 0.64

00:24:25.740 good documentary on Netflix right now. I didn't think that sentence would leave my mouth ever

00:24:31.420 again. But there's a pretty good one on World War II from the front lines. And it's good. It's like

00:24:36.040 they gave the Peter Jackson treatment from World War I to World War II, and they colorized things.

00:24:40.780 It's really pretty interesting. And you kind of forget, even if you do read history books in

00:24:47.040 America, you kind of forget that Russia defeated Hitler and that we had a little bit to do with it,

00:24:51.540 but not that much. We defeated Japan and Britain held firm and, you know, they wouldn't give up and 1.00

00:24:57.480 they will never surrender. But Russia really defeated Hitler. And you kind of forget that now.

00:25:01.880 And especially because we're living at a time of intense anti-Russian propaganda because we're

00:25:06.580 fighting a proxy war for some reason with Russia over Ukraine. Why? Because we want to bring Ukraine 0.73

00:25:11.700 into the EU and into NATO for some reason. Again, because our genius statesmen in the Joe Biden State

00:25:17.420 Department clearly are probably less historically literate even than these Twitter users freaking

00:25:23.200 out over Trump, pointing out an obvious historical fact. But we don't know anything about history

00:25:31.020 anymore. We don't know much about anything at all. I guess, look, we don't know the definition of

00:25:36.020 marriage. I guess we don't know the definition of very much of anything. But speaking of history class,

00:25:41.020 big report out from Wall Street Journal that half of college grads are working jobs that don't use

00:25:46.640 their degrees. And I think this actually relates directly to people's historical illiteracy, their

00:25:53.480 literary illiteracy, their philosophical total ignorance these days, just even compared with 20,

00:25:59.260 30 years ago. Half of college grads are working jobs that don't use their degrees.

00:26:05.600 Good. Good. The point of a college degree is not to train you for a job. That is what trade school

00:26:13.720 is for. Some elitists look down on trade school. I don't know why they look down on trade school.

00:26:19.340 Trade school is great. Trade school trains you for a job. And everyone has to work a job at some point,

00:26:24.020 unless you're of independent means and you're really going to go live some aristocratic life.

00:26:28.220 Everyone's got to work a job, so everyone needs some kind of job training. And so you go to trade

00:26:32.500 school. And trade schools can look all sorts of different ways. You can go to trade school

00:26:35.800 to learn how to work on floors. You can go to trade school to learn how to work as an electrician.

00:26:41.520 You can go to trade school to learn as a work as a doctor or a lawyer. Those are other types of

00:26:45.320 trade schools, but that's just where you learn your profession. And these days, if you learn how to be 0.74

00:26:51.340 an electrician or a plumber or a carpenter or something like that, you'll probably make more

00:26:56.200 money than the lawyers will because we have way too many lawyers because of the degradation of 0.93

00:27:00.320 undergraduate education. The point of undergraduate education, liberal arts education, is not to learn

00:27:05.240 how to do a job. It's to learn how to think. It's to learn how to read dusty old books and learn about

00:27:10.760 your culture and cultivate your rational will and learn philosophy and learn history and

00:27:18.140 learn math, abstract mathematics, and to cultivate those things.

00:27:24.920 The actual point of undergraduate education, liberal arts education, is to prepare yourself

00:27:32.280 for leisure time. It's to prepare yourself not to work. And this, frankly, ties into Americans'

00:27:38.740 addiction to working. It's good that we have a strong work ethic in America. It's good that

00:27:43.680 we're productive and we provide for our families. And having traveled a little bit in Europe,

00:27:48.280 Americans work way, way harder than Europeans do most of the time. I think of my own ancestral 0.99

00:27:53.980 people, the Italians. Many wonderful things you can say about the Italians. They're not the most 1.00

00:27:58.200 motivated people. They like a little pisolino in the afternoon and they're a little bit slower about

00:28:04.920 it. So I do like that. That's a good thing about Americans. But Americans focus so obsessively on

00:28:10.520 their work, they don't know what to do when they're not working. And the reason they don't know what to

00:28:15.560 do when they're not working is because we have no focus in America on cultivating the inner life

00:28:20.920 and cultivating your desires for hobbies, your desires for culture. So we lose that. And it's a

00:28:31.160 political problem because when you don't have a culture that you love, when you don't have these

00:28:35.660 customs and traditions and hobbies and habits, then it's very easy for political elites to go in and

00:28:42.860 erase your culture. It's very easy for them to impose a new culture upon you. Half of college grads 0.92

00:28:49.240 aren't working jobs that use their degree, or working jobs that do not use their degrees,

00:28:52.740 that's a good start is what I call that. Should be. I mean, I guess my job sort of uses my degree

00:29:00.340 in that I talk about history and Italian literature, but it's only tangentially, okay? Only a little bit.

00:29:06.120 Speaking of people working odd jobs, Paul Ryan, former Speaker of the House of Representatives,

00:29:12.800 is accusing Donald Trump of being the establishment of the Republican Party.

00:29:18.120 And he makes half a good point. He says, I'm in the minority in my party right now.

00:29:23.820 I'm not in the establishment. I'm frankly an anti-establishment Republican. It's very funny

00:29:27.840 to think of Paul Ryan. It's like he was constructed in a lab at the Koch factories or something, you know?

00:29:33.920 K-O-C-K, not C-O-K-E. He is, you know, establishment in the sense that he'd been in Washington basically

00:29:43.040 his whole life. But he says, no, I'm now anti-establishment. I think you can safely argue,

00:29:48.460 I don't enjoy acknowledging this, that Trump is the establishment and Trump populism is the

00:29:51.800 establishment. And that Trump populism is this more isolationist strain that I think is wrong

00:29:55.860 and dangerous and I don't support. But that does represent a large swath of Republican voters.

00:29:59.680 I don't totally hate Paul Ryan. I know a lot of conservatives do. I like it. It seems like a

00:30:05.520 straight enough shooter and he is a little bit out of touch with where the political moment is.

00:30:10.560 But I think he's trying to be a straight shooter here. I just think he's totally wrong.

00:30:16.980 You cannot argue to me that Trump is part of the political establishment when the actual

00:30:24.440 political establishment is upending centuries of American political tradition to try to throw him

00:30:29.600 in prison and hope that he dies there. Okay. They're prosecuting him on four fronts so that this 0.85

00:30:36.840 man will die in prison. Never prosecuted a former president like this. Never prosecuted a leader of

00:30:43.760 the opposition like this. You can't tell me that guy's the establishment. What's confusing to Paul

00:30:51.900 Ryan here is that Trump is the leader of the Republican Party. And some people tried to challenge him for

00:30:56.760 the nomination this cycle. It was never going to go anywhere. People thought he was a joke in 2016.

00:31:03.440 Everyone was shocked when he just ran through the Republican Party and recrafted it after his own

00:31:09.420 political vision. But the reason for that is that the liberals have taken over, I think at this point

00:31:19.200 it's safe to say, every institution in society. There used to be a couple of holdouts.

00:31:25.560 You know, the military say. But the top, I mean, obviously, soldiers, sailors, marines,

00:31:32.520 you know, our military service members tend to be pretty conservative. But the top brass of the

00:31:40.820 Pentagon, they're big libs now. It's Mark Milley screaming about critical race theory and white

00:31:44.800 rage. So even that part, I think, has been remade by the liberals. There is one sector of society,

00:31:50.900 though, that remains conservative. And it's the people. The people are pretty conservative. I'm

00:31:56.900 not saying they're all rock-ribbed right-wingers. I'm just saying they're pretty conservative.

00:32:00.680 Whatever the political elites are saying, wherever they are on the political spectrum,

00:32:04.760 the people are more conservative than they are. The people don't really think a man can become a woman.

00:32:09.540 The people don't really want open borders. The people don't really think that we ought to be

00:32:13.540 risking America's sovereignty and treasure and certainly blood for Ukraine and NATO expansion 0.85

00:32:18.920 or whatever. The people are more conservative. And Trump appeals to the people. That's the

00:32:23.120 populism that Paul Ryan is talking about. But don't tell me that that therefore makes Trump

00:32:28.120 the establishment. Quite the opposite. What that represents here. I mean, Paul Ryan is on the board

00:32:33.840 of News Corp, isn't he? This guy's a major part of the political establishment. It's just he's fallen

00:32:39.620 out of favor with the voters. And the fact that there is a huge chasm now between the people and

00:32:45.700 pretty much every other institution in society tells you something about where we are. Getting

00:32:51.520 back to Bukele's point, we're designed to see things linearly, not exponentially. Regimes change

00:32:59.180 over time. And a lot of comparisons have been made about America to the fall of Rome. But the question

00:33:04.020 is, is it the fall of the Roman Republic or the Roman Empire? And Drew Clavin answered this. Drew and I

00:33:08.580 have been talking about this for years at this point. People make this mistake and they think

00:33:12.780 it's the fall of the empire. If you're going to draw the historical comparison, and I think

00:33:17.780 comparisons to the fall of Rome are overused, but the comparison would be to the fall of the

00:33:21.920 Republic. And then things start to change. And you don't even catch them changing as they are.

00:33:27.000 But a major change would be that at the fall of the Republic, the established institutions of Rome

00:33:32.740 in no way represented the people. The man who represented the people was Julius Caesar.

00:33:38.440 So that's how he was able to take power. So the fear here among the people who are all worried

00:33:48.940 is misplaced. They need to ask themselves, why is it that the people broadly are turning against every

00:33:55.860 established institution in society? If we're living in a republic of government of the people,

00:33:59.880 by the people, for the people. Why have all the institutions turned against the people's

00:34:03.320 interests? Speaking of American history and tradition, Mayflower cigars. It's all about

00:34:10.440 honoring tradition. Now I wish, I wish my friends that I could take a cigar out of this box.

00:34:16.500 This box is empty. I have, even in my personal humidor, a handful of these left because we sold

00:34:23.940 out within 24 hours. We sold out four months supply of an aggressive supply in 24 hours. And then you

00:34:29.680 all sent me angry messages because you couldn't get your cigars for Thanksgiving. You couldn't get

00:34:34.020 your cigars for Christmas. And I know, I feel you, man. But I said, we're not going to rush

00:34:38.380 the process. This is a premium product, hand-rolled. We're going to age it properly.

00:34:43.840 Well, folks, that time has almost reached us, okay? Mayflower cigars, it's all about tradition.

00:34:51.540 Many great men of history have had a cigar in hand. Washington grew tobacco. James Madison smoked

00:34:56.680 cigars until his death. Jefferson grew tobacco. General, then President U.S. Grant, was never

00:35:02.080 seen without a cigar on his lip. Chester Arthur, a personal favorite of mine, always concluded his

00:35:07.500 lavish dinners with a cigar. Need I say more, folks? Celebrate President's Day by pre-ordering

00:36:12.320 path still. I haven't moved down south yet. My dad died today. 78 years old, tongue cancer. He was

00:36:21.560 euthanized through the MAID program. There was a process to graft skin from his arm to make a new

00:36:27.600 tongue, but the wait list was like six months long. My dad started to refuse morphine appointments and

00:36:33.380 called MAID. My whole family okayed it, except for me. It was four days between the appointment and the

00:36:42.260 assisted suicide. It's 45 times quicker to kill yourself than to heal yourself here.

00:36:52.300 Okay. That's my rant. My question is really about prayer. In his late years, he apostatized

00:37:01.020 the same time that I kind of started to find faith.

00:37:04.160 And I prayed for him each of these four days that I knew he was going to die. But how do you pray for

00:37:14.200 the dead? I've taken mortality for granted my entire life and I've hit a brick wall. We had unresolved

00:37:22.940 issues and I have so many questions for him. How would you go about this? Thanks, Michael. God bless.

00:37:29.580 Really, really sorry to hear of that sad end. One hopes that your father's culpability would be,

00:37:39.680 and the culpability of your family would be somewhat reduced by the fact that the culture

00:37:43.080 is deluding so many people. It's creating such an inducement to kill yourself. As you say, 0.99

00:37:48.280 45 times faster to kill yourself than to heal yourself. And suicide, of course, contrary to natural

00:37:54.240 law, just a grave, grave evil that any government would encourage. So, so, so awful. Terribly sorry

00:38:03.780 to hear it. And I can pray for you and your father, and you can pray for your father too.

00:38:08.060 Prayer for the dead is biblical. You see it throughout the Bible, specifically in Maccabees.

00:38:14.640 It's funny, later on, certain books of the Bible were removed because they contradicted certain

00:38:19.260 doctrines. But books of the Bible had been in there from the beginning. And so it seems to me the

00:38:23.660 doctrines are pretty sound, one of which is to pray for the dead. Now, I have no idea where your

00:38:28.980 father is. You have no idea where your father is. I don't want to give you some soft soap or wishful

00:38:33.000 thinking. But I can tell you, as James tells us, that the prayers of the righteous are efficacious.

00:38:39.220 And so this is another inducement. I was thinking about this yesterday or the day before. This is

00:38:45.140 another inducement to be good, to try to avoid sinning, and to keep yourself close to Christ,

00:38:51.540 and to avail yourself of the sacraments, is not only because that's what you owe God, and not only

00:38:57.580 because it's good for you, but also it will make your prayers more efficacious. It will draw you

00:39:03.660 closer to God. So you certainly ought to do that. There's a story about St. Padre Pio. I don't know

00:39:10.400 if it's apocryphal or not, that one time he was praying, and he was asked who he was praying for.

00:39:16.440 He said, I'm praying for my great-grandfather or something like that. I'm sure I'm getting the story

00:39:19.760 wrong. I said, you can't pray for your great-grandfather. Your great-great-grandfather

00:39:23.180 died however many years before you were born. And he said, that's how we experience time.

00:39:28.740 That's not how God experiences time. And that part, of course, we know is true for a fact,

00:39:33.020 because God is outside of time and space, except when he enters into time and space.

00:39:37.860 Though even then, I guess he's also outside of time and space. So in any case, I would just pray for

00:39:44.320 your father. When I hear someone dies, I say the RIP prayer. Anyone who objects to praying for the

00:39:51.880 dead, ironically, probably has prayed for the dead quite a lot and does pray for the dead,

00:39:57.960 because RIP, if you've ever written or said RIP, that's a prayer for the dead. It's requiescat in

00:40:03.400 pace. May he rest in peace. And the prayer is, requiem eternum, requiem eternum, dona ei domine

00:40:11.860 et lux perpetua, luceat ei requiescat in pace. In nomine patris, filet spiritus sancti, amen.

00:40:19.580 Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. So

00:40:25.060 that's a good prayer to start with, and then you can just say other prayers. You can just kind of

00:40:29.460 talk to God. You know, it doesn't need to, I like form and liturgy. I think that's good,

00:40:34.620 and it aids in our prayer life. But you can also just talk to him, especially when you're this raw.

00:40:38.520 So very sorry for your loss. Next one. Dirty Mike, Mr. Reality here. On Tuesday,

00:40:44.620 you were talking about your conspiracy expansion pack for your yes or no game. And it made me think

00:40:49.320 of a conspiracy that I wanted your take on. DEI always seems to put the least qualified people in

00:40:57.640 charge, right? It doesn't seem like you just pick a random black person out of a hat. It doesn't seem 0.96

00:41:03.480 like you pick the best black person you could find. It seems like you pick the worst. That's how DEI 0.99

00:41:08.900 works. Claudine Gay, worst. Ketanji Brown Jackson, worst. Every DEI pick seems terrible. So my question 0.83

00:41:16.040 is, since the people picking these people are, as we know, extremely racist Democrats, who would 0.99

00:41:23.140 probably put black people in chains in a second, do you think they pick the worst black people they 0.99

00:41:28.780 can find on purpose to create a narrative that black people aren't good at things that will then 0.99

00:41:35.940 lead into them being relegated to the dregs of society again? Is this a big conspiracy? Thanks. 0.95

00:41:43.420 I'm not totally persuaded by that, in part because Claudine Gay was pretty bad. Obviously, 0.88

00:41:50.680 she plagiarized at least half of her academic corpus, and her academic corpus was extremely

00:41:55.440 small. It was 11 papers. 11 publications is what you should have in graduate school,

00:42:00.280 not when you're the president of Harvard. Ketanji Jackson is probably a little bit more impressive.

00:42:05.440 I believe she went to law school with Ted Cruz. And Ketanji, I mean, she doesn't seem like

00:42:13.040 the brightest bulb in the pack, but she doesn't seem dumb either. She's probably pretty intelligent

00:42:17.960 and just is totally wrong. I mean, she's pretty radical. So, I don't think they picked the very

00:42:24.220 worst. I mean, if you really wanted to pick the very worst sort of stereotype you'd think of,

00:42:28.900 if you remember the old Martin Lawrence show, Martin Lawrence had this character that he would do,

00:42:33.740 which was the most extreme caricature of a really ghetto black woman, and the character's name was 0.79

00:42:38.860 Shanene. You know, Shanene would be the version of that. And they don't, that's not Claudine Gay,

00:42:45.040 and that's not Ketanji Jackson or anybody. So, no, I don't think that's it. And there are black 1.00

00:42:51.440 people who have been promoted to the very heights of civic life who are extremely impressive,

00:42:55.180 including on the Supreme Court, most notably Clarence Thomas. But I think there you see the

00:42:58.980 problem, right? Which is Clarence Thomas is extremely impressive and obviously very intelligent

00:43:03.660 and educated and has good judgment and is conservative. So, you know, they're just trying

00:43:10.580 to ask for so many things. But the most important lens is the ideological lens. So, they have to pick

00:43:17.260 some leftist. And the people they're picking are getting less and less impressive, I think,

00:43:23.100 because they're making more ideological demands that preclude reason and right judgment. Next question.

00:43:31.980 Hi, Michael. It's the Schuckmeister. In quantum physics, there's this concept known as the

00:43:37.060 Pauli Exclusion Principle, which basically states that two electrons cannot have the same quantum

00:43:42.120 numbers at the same time. So to speak, if a 22-year-old electron has the quantum numbers of

00:43:47.580 enjoying brunch and dancing on stage, a 65-year-old electron could not. However, you've spoken about

00:43:53.460 something I'd dub the Dolly Exclusion Principle, meaning that the laws of physics and the natural

00:43:58.980 order apply to everyone except for Dolly Parton. How did you come to this breakthrough in physics, 0.98

00:44:04.060 and when can we expect you'll receive the Nobel Prize? Thanks.

00:44:07.440 I'll be waiting for the Nobel, but the breakthrough is just so clear. When did I come to it? When I

00:44:12.560 observed Dolly. I like the name, the Dolly Exclusion Principle, and it's true. 65-year-olds,

00:44:18.640 or I don't know how old Dolly is now, they don't get to dance around in short shorts and crop tops 1.00

00:44:24.520 unless they're Dolly Parton. And I don't know, I mean, again, I didn't make the rules,

00:44:29.200 but that is the case. So what you're really asking me is, how can there be exceptions and exclusions

00:44:35.080 to rules? That's a good question. I mean, we know in physics there are all sorts of exceptions

00:44:42.140 that have upended models for a very long time. I mean, it seems to me every few months now we're

00:44:50.040 reading about some new revelation about the nature of dark matter or dark energy, because we have these,

00:44:55.620 we fill in the gaps on things that we don't know that don't quite match our models, to say nothing

00:45:00.660 of like the general theory of relativity or anything like that, where the models don't totally match up

00:45:05.440 with reality. And then there's, so okay, in part that could just be our own ignorance and we'll

00:45:11.400 discover a way to perfect that. All models are wrong, but some are useful. But furthermore,

00:45:15.960 there are exceptions even to the laws of nature themselves, and those are called miracles.

00:45:20.800 It's what a miracle is. A miracle is something that in the natural course of events,

00:45:25.320 would not occur. So it's supernatural. And that happens. That's part of the created world. A lot

00:45:32.160 of the materialists don't want to acknowledge this, but then they're left scratching their heads

00:45:35.760 when miraculous things do happen. So to what do I attribute Dali's unique character? Is it our

00:45:44.620 ignorance or is it just a miracle? How should I know? Next question.

00:45:50.820 Good morning, Michael. This is Arun. As you know from a previous voicemail of mine,

00:45:54.140 I am deeply fearful of these criminal indictments against Donald Trump. The basis of that fear is

00:45:58.960 my observation that most Americans, i.e. those outside of the creme de la creme and certainly most

00:46:03.240 liberal voters, possess a dangerous combination of political apathy, ignorance, a lack of attention

00:46:08.140 span, and an enthusiasm to vote with reckless alacrity. Now, admittedly, I live in a sort of

00:46:13.360 right-wing bubble since all of my friends and family are politically conservative. And I know you

00:46:17.880 have previously assured me that most Americans would be horrified by the spectacle of a former

00:46:21.860 president and current presidential candidate behind bars on the eve of an election. But I do live in a

00:46:27.380 large liberal city, and when I go out to bars and other public places, I often make it a point to

00:46:32.280 talk to random people about politics. And while these people tend to have fairly reasonable opinions,

00:46:37.440 they nonetheless have a baseless trust in the federal justice system and almost always say

00:46:41.680 that they would not vote for Trump if he is convicted of a crime. And this is not just my anecdotal

00:46:46.040 observation. At least one recent poll showed that 55% of Americans would not vote for Trump if he

00:46:51.280 were convicted. Now, I think that Donald Trump was the greatest American president since Lincoln,

00:46:56.280 since Washington, and even since King Ashoka of ancient India. But I donated to Vivek because,

00:47:02.260 as he put it, to nominate Trump is to send him into a buzzsaw. Alas, it appears that Trump will be our

00:47:07.620 nominee, and of course he has my full support, but I still lack confidence in our fellow Americans.

00:47:12.060 My question for you is twofold. From whence do you drive your trust in the wisdom of the American

00:47:16.680 public? And should Trump be convicted in the months leading up to the election,

00:47:21.120 how do we convince the American electorate to vote for him? Thank you, as always, for your wisdom.

00:47:26.280 Great question, as always, Arun. Well, you mentioned large liberal city. That's where you're

00:47:29.840 talking to these people. So I have no doubt that that's what they believe, and they do have a

00:47:35.140 mindless trust, not only in the justice system, but in most aspects of government in these large

00:47:40.160 liberal cities. So that doesn't surprise me. I guess the reason I still have a great deal of

00:47:45.180 confidence in the American people is, one, because they're American, and Americans have

00:47:49.980 always been a little bit more conservative than, say, the French or something like that.

00:47:54.940 But two, because I have trust in people more broadly to maintain some of the common sense.

00:48:01.860 This is what Antonio Gramsci, the Italian communist theorist, bemoaned about the communist

00:48:07.020 revolutions. As he said, these radicals, they lost the common sense, and if you don't hold on to

00:48:12.100 the common sense, you're not going to have an effective revolution, because the people aren't

00:48:15.560 going to like your theories. They're going to like their stuff and their habits and their way of life

00:48:19.320 more than they like your theories. So I think we still, the American people still possess a great

00:48:25.380 deal of common sense. And then how do you convince those people to vote for him? Well, you're not

00:48:29.460 convincing the people in the big liberal cities generally. It's just a waste of time, probably.

00:48:34.780 You're convincing people in Michigan and Wisconsin and Pennsylvania and Arizona and those sorts of

00:48:42.380 places, Georgia, to vote for Trump. And how do you do it? Well, you tailor it to each state.

00:48:47.100 To use just the example of Michigan, you know, you make an appeal to the large Muslim population

00:48:53.380 in Michigan that the Democrats have encouraged to come in, and you say, hey, do you want to vote for 0.99

00:48:58.500 Joe Biden, who is like completely insane and wants to chop off kids' genitals and upend everything 0.99

00:49:04.100 that's normal? Or you want to vote for Trump, who is just kind of normal? You probably want to vote 1.00

00:49:08.800 for the normal guy, right? I think in a lot of these swing states, you need to convince people

00:49:13.060 that Trump is the more normal person. And it's weird because he's a billionaire playboy from New

00:49:16.400 York who's a TV star and a real estate mogul. And I know he doesn't seem normal for most of Joe's

00:49:22.120 career. Joe's shtick was that he was normal, but he's not normal. He's opened our country to an

00:49:27.140 invasion of over 6 million people. Joe Biden is saying that either, you know, they're going to

00:49:32.460 threaten taking your kids away from you if you don't trans them. They're going to bring the weight 1.00

00:49:36.420 of the federal government to bear on not only transgenderism, but even transing the kids.

00:49:41.660 Joe Biden is the one who's going to get us into World War III. He's not normal. And so we've talked

00:49:46.000 recently because of my favorite Twitter account, Edmund Smirk's theory of normality, about how it's

00:49:52.180 really important to hold on to normality. It's the same insight that Gramsci is pointing out.

00:49:56.200 You need to have, you need to seem like you're the normal common sense person. And can Trump do

00:50:01.000 that? Yes. Will he do that? That remains to be seen. If you want to join us for the Membrum
