The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1499 - Unhinged Celebrities Rant Against Trump & Children

00:00:00.000 The trial of President Trump in New York entered its final phase yesterday.

00:00:03.900 And as the courtroom prosecution made its closing arguments to the jury,

00:00:08.020 the political prosecution made its closing arguments to the public outside the courtroom.

00:00:13.880 First of all, let me say this first and foremost, we're not here today

00:00:17.200 because of what's going on over there. We're here today because you all are here.

00:00:21.300 And so we are glad that you're all here this morning. We're here primarily because of the

00:00:26.960 threat that Donald Trump poses to the United States of America and to our democracy.

00:00:32.040 We're not here. We're not here because of Trump. I mean, we're here because of Trump,

00:00:36.100 but we're not here. This is totally different. Presidential campaigns always hold random

00:00:41.380 press conferences in Tribeca. Of course, Biden's campaign is there because of Trump,

00:00:46.760 of what's going on in that courtroom. They tried to throw Trump in jail and it backfired.

00:00:50.620 So now they're doing damage control. But no one wanted to show up to defend Joe Biden because

00:00:55.440 every even semi-sensible person realizes how disgusting it is that Biden is trying to

00:01:00.740 imprison his opponent. So the only prominent lib the campaign could get who is sufficiently

00:01:06.000 stunned to defend the political persecution outside that courtroom in New York was Robert

00:01:11.640 De Niro, who gave the worst performance of his lifetime. We'll get to it. I'm Michael

00:01:15.760 Nolst. This is the Michael Nolst Show. Welcome back to the show. Alleged comedian Chelsea Handler has

00:01:40.000 attacked Harrison Butker for defending things that will make you happy and flourish. She doesn't like

00:02:50.480 PureTalk.com slash Knowles. The Biden campaign, this is the president of the United States, looking around

00:02:57.440 for anyone who can lead the rally outside of the courtroom where they are attempting to imprison

00:03:05.060 the chief political rival to the sitting president. And no one wanted to do it. Obama's not showing up.

00:03:10.940 Bill Clinton's not showing up. Jimmy Carter probably could show up. He's still not showing up.

00:03:15.040 Then they look in the media. Okay, do we have any really famous popular stars? Taylor Swift,

00:03:19.760 do you want to come? No, she's not there. So they go all the way down the list and they end up with

00:03:23.820 Robert De Niro. That's the best they got. Is a man who, he's very good at playing the one role

00:03:29.440 that he plays. I'm not taking anything away from De Niro. That one character that De Niro figured out

00:03:34.280 in the 70s, he is very good at playing that role. And he's given some fun performances over the years.

00:03:40.740 Count von Metternich, he is not. Okay, a political philosopher, he is not. So he gets out there

00:03:46.460 and here is his argument as they are attempting to imprison Trump.

00:03:51.420 Under Trump, this kind of government will perish from the earth. I don't mean to scare you. No,

00:04:00.540 no, wait. Maybe I do mean to scare you. If Trump returns to the White House, you can kiss these

00:04:05.920 freedoms goodbye that we all take for granted. And elections, forget about it. That's over.

00:04:12.840 That's done. If he gets in, I can tell you right now, he will never leave. He will never leave.

00:04:22.220 You know that. He will never leave.

00:04:26.460 If I keep saying this five or six or seven times, maybe then people will believe me, huh?

00:04:37.020 Not a very convincing performance from De Niro for two reasons. One, he didn't even memorize his lines.

00:04:43.000 The one hard skill that Robert De Niro has cultivated during his life is memorizing words

00:04:49.800 on paper that other people write for him. Here, he couldn't even do that. Supposedly,

00:04:55.000 the country is on the line. Our government will perish. But he doesn't care enough to speak from

00:05:02.200 the heart. He writes it down on paper. Yeah, I don't mean to scare you. Or maybe I do. But if Trump

00:05:11.720 is elected, forget about it. He actually put in a forget about it. Give me a break.

00:05:17.340 So that's one reason it wasn't convincing. But the main reason it wasn't convincing is

00:05:22.540 the big problem for Biden in this race. Trump has already been president.

00:05:30.240 So all the fear mongering, all the threats that if Donald Trump is elected, he'll never leave office,

00:05:37.880 the country will fall apart, the government will dissolve, we'll enter World War III, all of that

00:05:44.920 fear mongering falls flat because he was already president. We already saw what happened and none

00:05:51.660 of their scare tactics actually occurred. None of the dire warnings actually came true.

00:06:00.580 He'll never leave. Well, he left. You stole the election from him. Sorry, let me correct my language.

00:06:05.680 I want to be very precise in my language. You changed all the voting rules in the weeks and

00:06:10.660 months before the election. And you dragged out the count in rather dubious ways through the middle

00:06:16.760 of the night and for days and weeks. And you took $400 million from a left-wing billionaire and

00:06:22.020 funneled that money into left-wing organizations and then moved ballot drop boxes, in some cases

00:06:27.460 illegally. And you violated the state constitution in Pennsylvania. And you did this and you did that

00:06:32.040 to fix the election, to rig the election, to, I don't know, whatever you want to call it.

00:06:38.040 It was a real Democrat job on that election. And even still, people want the guy back in office.

00:06:47.980 And so the best you can do now is try to throw him in prison. And the further irony of all of this is

00:06:55.840 they're trying to show how clean they are and how awful Donald Trump is. And so what do they do?

00:06:59.400 They bring a guy who's most famous for playing gangsters to stand outside the classroom and say,

00:07:03.420 we got to imprison our political opponent or else things are going to be really bad.

00:07:09.140 The other huge mistake for the Biden campaign to go out there and do this

00:07:12.980 is they're proving the Trump campaign's point. Previously, the Democrats had said,

00:07:18.440 we are prosecuting Trump because he violated the law. Because it's really, really important

00:07:21.980 that when you make an in-kind contribution to your own campaign eight years ago,

00:07:26.320 that you file a specific form with the FEC. Don't forget, that is what this trial is about.

00:07:31.740 The trial is not about, did Donald Trump sleep with a porn star? The trial is not about,

00:07:35.400 is he a rotten person? The trial is about, did Donald Trump misfile documents pertaining to his

00:07:43.320 business and political campaign? That's all it is. It's a paperwork trial.

00:07:48.680 And previously, the Democrats said, this is the big threat to democracy is the paperwork trial. And so

00:07:54.900 what we need, we need to make sure that lady justice is blind and, and we prosecute everyone 1.00

00:08:00.040 evenly, even though we don't really prosecute Democrats for the same crime. But now, now the

00:08:04.500 Biden campaign is admitting, no, no, no, it's really just about how afraid we are of the prospect

00:08:09.300 that Donald Trump could be reelected. So now you're proving the point. It is a political

00:08:13.600 prosecution, of course. And De Niro got heckled mercilessly.

00:08:18.320 We're trying to be gentlemen in this world, the Democrats. You are gangsters. 0.99

00:08:23.120 Excuse me. 0.99

00:08:23.600 You are gangsters. 1.00

00:08:24.900 Everybody, you ain't got your pussy. 1.00

00:08:35.000 You ain't got your pussy, you ain't. You ain't got your pussy. You ain't got your pussy. 1.00

00:08:50.040 he's a mook he's a mook m-o-o-k i love how de niro opens it he goes listen i'm a gentleman 1.00

00:09:00.840 here you people heckling me you're not gentlemen then you hear someone in the crowd go f you de

00:09:05.380 niro and then he just goes f you i'm a gentleman f you and then i i don't know is de niro part 0.97

00:09:13.580 jewish i couldn't quite make out that guy at the end was yelling you're a traitor to italians 0.99

00:09:17.220 obviously he's italian maybe he's part jewish i don't know but you're a traitor you're a traitor 0.98

00:09:20.440 you're people i do sort of feel that way listen as a descendant of the mezzo giorno as a child of 0.97

00:09:28.460 italy okay an italian american i'll acknowledge there's some great things italian americans have

00:09:34.760 done for america we've contributed i don't know uh pizza we've contributed anton and scalia that was

00:09:42.760 pretty good we've contributed i don't know we've contributed a lot of things but we've got some

00:09:46.680 things to answer for we did bring some organized crime a certain italian american subculture that's

00:09:51.540 true we did create the conditions that led to pineapple on pizza that was that's very unfortunate

00:09:58.060 and we gave you robert de niro's big fat mouth and that's unfortunate that we we own that we're

00:10:05.560 responsible for that and that's very unfortunate uh sad performance for de niro you know he's expecting

00:10:12.240 to come in like a tough guy hero in new york big movie store and the people just made fun of him

00:10:16.740 because he's a complete shill for a very corrupt political establishment and everybody sees it now

00:10:21.280 that's why the biden campaign had to show up there in the first place what happened inside the courtroom

00:10:25.880 enough about the shenanigans outside inside the courtroom it was the final day uh so it was the

00:10:31.340 closing arguments now obviously the jury's going to deliberate and they'll decide whether to convict him

00:10:35.480 or not and they're they're going to then sentence him if he is convicted how did the trial go it was

00:10:40.900 a joke for the prosecution obviously i've got an interest in this campaign i want trump to win i want

00:10:46.560 biden to lose i think the whole prosecution has been absurd and a great stain on the american political

00:10:54.480 order but you don't just need to take my word for it you tune into cnn yesterday cnn has a former

00:11:00.660 prosecutor on this is obviously a super lib network and this former prosecutor admits

00:11:05.860 the prosecution simply failed to prove its case against trump there is reasonable doubt all over

00:11:13.520 this case where is keith schiller where is alan weisselberg how did michael cohn get away with

00:11:20.620 stealing thirty thousand dollars hold a pity party for him made four million dollars on this thought he'd be

00:11:26.300 the chief of staff he's a fixer if the plumber comes to my house to fix my leak i could be home

00:11:32.460 that doesn't mean i know how he's doing it and what it's taking to be fixed stormy daniels let's hold a pity

00:11:39.140 party for her why do we need to know whether or not the former president wore a condom or not it's simply

00:11:44.340 about did the former president know that books his records false entries for legal fees michael

00:11:51.540 was his lawyer did he intend to cover up the election or to protect his family it's ever

00:11:56.400 everywhere there is reasonable doubt all over the case that's the upshot you don't just need to hear

00:12:03.260 it from me you don't just need to hear it from some right winger or a staff member of the trump

00:12:07.960 campaign that's cnn okay it's a total joke and i've covered the trial pretty regularly and we've heard

00:12:16.860 throughout that the prosecution was focusing all this scintillating nonsense you know the the exact

00:12:23.640 nature of the encounter between trump and stormy daniels which those scintillating for the tabloids

00:12:30.040 is totally irrelevant to the case is the case is about paperwork the case is about something that

00:12:37.180 actually stormy daniels would know nothing about stormy daniels who already doesn't have credibility 1.00

00:12:42.140 because she already said made an official statement that she did not take hush money from

00:12:46.400 donald trump and she did not have an affair with donald trump and all the rest of it michael cohen

00:12:50.920 who has committed a crime that is and is admitted to committing a crime that is worse than the crime

00:12:57.900 that they're accusing trump of michael cohen wasn't even prosecuted for it the whole thing was a complete

00:13:02.460 circus and that falls on the judge judge mershon who's who's lamenting that this has become a clown show 0.97

00:13:10.940 clown show you're the one who called in the porn star give me a don't blame us for the clown show 0.99

00:13:14.780 and and really ultimately it falls on joe biden it falls on biden because if biden had wanted to shut 0.97

00:13:20.840 down this prosecution of his political opponent first ever in american history former president

00:13:25.700 current leader of the opposition he could have done it he didn't want to do it he wanted to throw

00:13:28.900 trump in jail because he thinks trump's going to beat him in november my new series it's not my new

00:13:33.760 series it's a series that's been around for a while but we got some new episodes it's michael and

00:13:37.120 it's not your typical talking point kind of conversation one of the reasons it's not is

00:13:43.100 because i don't prepare for them at all so these are unscripted they're long-form discussions into

00:13:48.280 the controversial the shocking and the supernatural some of these episodes are debates with people who

00:13:53.120 by their own merit rise to the top of of the food chain on people who engage on certain issues one of

00:13:59.260 those examples would be pearl davis who's made a name for herself in the red pill movement the men's 1.00

00:14:04.940 rights movement capital m capital r and the issues surrounding marriage uh check out this trailer

00:14:10.900 for a little bit of our debate see guys that that take you guys's advice and it sometimes you know it

00:14:18.040 ruins their life what what would men do if they begged you for advice again i'm not in the business

00:14:23.060 of telling men what to do you know but i think you kind of are well what percent of women do you think

00:14:27.580 are marriageable i think you're squirting the issue people are not going to return to marriage

00:14:31.900 until you make the institution more fair what they'll do is they'll return doesn't matter what

00:14:35.500 you say it doesn't matter what i say you guys have been preaching marriage for a decade yeah and

00:14:39.920 the rates of marriage have still been going down why because the cost is too high and the quality

00:14:45.000 of women is too low how do you fix it do you want to get married 1.00

00:14:48.100 the full episode is available now at the michael knowles show youtube channel and x channel also

00:15:32.940 court proceedings around the biden family we got some juicy tea folks bring your cups and saucers over

00:15:40.360 here because i'm about to spill some tea london roberts who is hunter biden's baby mama one of his 0.99

00:15:46.420 one of his baby's mama is it like attorney's general baby's mama baby she is set to release 0.97

00:15:53.360 a tell-all book during the week of the democrat national convention already the democrats were

00:15:58.880 slated to have a convention crazier than any since 1968 when you know protesters are attacking people

00:16:05.400 well now the the 2024 convention has gotten even crazier because of hunter's baby mama now 0.90

00:16:14.220 uh london roberts is the mother of hunter's daughter navy joan and uh you you might say

00:16:22.180 that this is just kind of personal tabloid stuff and this has no place in american politics it does

00:16:28.900 because it's actually not just about this woman it's not just about the little girl it's not even

00:16:33.580 just about hunter biden this is about joe biden because for years for four years joe biden cruelly and

00:16:42.420 callously refused to acknowledge his own granddaughter hunter biden no surprise that

00:16:47.060 he refused to acknowledge his own daughter he wouldn't pay child support he wouldn't admit

00:16:50.580 paternity at the time that he fathered this child with london roberts he was also he had abandoned his

00:16:58.020 family and had an affair with his brother's widow uh so not not really reputable stuff all very out in the

00:17:06.820 open uh hunter biden then again after abandoning his family it's not as though he were just trying

00:17:13.560 to protect his family from this one indiscretion that he no he'd already abandoned his family

00:17:17.880 and and started an affair with his brother's widow uh but and then at the same time fathered this

00:17:24.880 daughter with a former stripper london roberts and then refused to pay for it even though hunter biden

00:17:29.920 was making roughly a bazillion dollars a month because he was peddling his father's influence in the

00:17:36.420 american government overseas in places like ukraine and china he just refused to step up to it uh really

00:17:41.940 disreputable stuff but we expect that from hunter biden who you know went through some pretty bad

00:17:46.780 periods of his life like decades of his life and and was a criminal and a crackhead and all the rest of

00:17:54.460 it but his dad doesn't have that excuse his dad can't say well oh you know back in scranton i was

00:18:01.360 smoking crack and rocks with the old corn pop there and hairy legs and no he wasn't he has no excuse

00:18:06.540 about that but at the white house when he's hanging up all the little stockings for his grandkids

00:18:11.380 he leaves his granddaughter navy joan off the mantle what when he when he talks about his family says i

00:18:17.440 have six grandkids i talk to him every day i love him so much he actually has seven grandkids and i

00:18:21.620 don't think this was just forgetfulness i think this was a political calculation that took him four years

00:18:25.720 to rectify really cruel stuff imagine you're this little girl your father's a complete deadbeat

00:18:30.420 degenerate and your grandfather is the president of united states and he refuses to acknowledge you 0.91

00:18:35.980 how must that make you feel you're four years old you're starting to know things and how's that going

00:18:40.580 to make her feel when she's five and six and seven and eight to know that your grandfather is ashamed

00:18:44.580 of you and would would rather would rather try to minimize a kind of political scandal than 0.91

00:18:52.960 acknowledge his own flesh and blood what a deadbeat what a complete degenerate that man is it's awful

00:18:57.360 which is why i really look forward to this book i'm glad finally london roberts was able to

00:19:04.300 pry some money out of hunter biden's greedy little hands i'm glad finally they pried some protection

00:19:10.120 for this little girl out of the president of the united states he wasn't even extending

00:19:14.660 protection to her this is the most visible man in the world and now i'm glad that this tell

00:19:21.760 all is coming out because it tells you a lot about the character not only of maybe jones father but

00:19:26.600 of her grandfather the man sitting in the white house speaking of women and babies chelsea handler

00:19:31.640 she is a an alleged comedian i am told chelsea handler has just attacked mr giga chat himself 0.77

00:19:41.700 chief's kicker harrison butker over his remarks at benedictine college when harrison a catholic

00:19:49.120 articulated a catholic perspective on life and marriage and family and eternity to the catholic

00:19:57.200 audience this was too much for chelsea handler as you may have heard there's a man by the name of

00:20:03.260 harrison butker who's talking more than i typically like for a male he's a kicker for the kansas city

00:20:08.680 chiefs and i learned that kickers rarely get tackled so based on his misogynistic rant during a recent

00:20:14.840 commencement address i'm guessing this bible thumper thumped himself a little too hard with 0.73

00:20:19.140 his bible and gave himself cte some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world but i

00:20:24.100 would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children

00:20:28.660 you will bring into this world and embrace one of the most important titles of all homemaker first

00:20:33.400 of all harrison you're a kicker so you have one important part of your body and it's not your

00:20:37.440 brain i can tell you that my beautiful wife isabel would be the first to say that her life truly

00:20:41.120 started when she began living her vocation as a wife and as a mother isabel's dream of having a

00:20:44.500 career might not have come true but if you asked her today if she has any regrets on her decision

00:20:47.500 she would laugh out loud without hesitation and say heck no isabel please blink twice if you need 0.78

00:20:52.280 us to call for help but the real kicker is that harrison butker's mother is a renowned physicist who

00:20:57.960 has a degree in chemistry and a master's in medical physics so who paid for all those youth athletic

00:21:05.020 team fees and uniform fees and equipment fees when harrison was a kid so he could grow up to have

00:21:10.020 a career making millions of dollars for kicking things my guess is a working woman 1.00

00:21:16.040 at the beginning of the video she says this is a misogynistic speech and then she even played a clip

00:21:24.840 where harrison starts to get choked up he gets more choked up later on in the speech over how much he loves

00:21:31.700 his wife the speech at the top level was about articulating a traditionally christian view of

00:21:40.340 man and woman and family and society and life but second only to that it was a speech about how much

00:21:47.520 he loves his wife very very difficult to call a speech misogynistic that is hating women when the

00:21:53.620 speech is about how much you love your wife but then she goes on and she you know screeches and

00:21:59.140 attacks butker and then says butker's mother is very educated first of all people with advanced

00:22:04.900 degrees in the sciences don't they're not necessarily the wealthiest people in the world

00:22:09.720 i don't know mrs butker might have done very well i'm sure they have a lovely family i have no doubt

00:22:13.120 about that but you know it's not the same getting a phd in physics is not the same thing as like being

00:22:18.360 a banker on wall street uh no surprise that chelsea handler misses that subtlety but let's say mrs butker 1.00

00:22:24.040 made a lot of money and supported her family and i'm sure she did i'm sure they have a lovely family

00:22:28.080 where do you think harrison butker got his his appreciation for a strong family from

00:22:32.740 that in no way undermines butker's point if anything that buttresses butker's point

00:22:38.260 but but really you don't need to examine any of those things you don't really need to pick apart

00:22:43.260 any of the points that chelsea handler is making look at those two people you just saw them side by 1.00

00:22:49.140 side chelsea handler harrison butker who seems happier that's pretty much how i view

00:22:57.360 political ideologies that's that's how i consider uh habits in life it's to some degree even how i

00:23:06.580 consider religion you know the tree by its fruit i noticed this when i reverted i was an atheist for

00:23:12.180 10 years or so i was uh if not a liberal at least a libertarian and then i noticed that there's some

00:23:18.980 of these people in my life many of whom you know many of the people in my life are just going out

00:23:22.980 partying all the time hitting bars you know just living living that city lifestyle but some people

00:23:28.760 were christian practicing christians and they just seemed happier they seemed happier than the atheists 1.00

00:23:36.900 and the people who were living not just articulating but living a conservative religious lifestyle

00:23:44.140 a christian lifestyle especially they were just happier and and seemed more grounded than the

00:23:52.500 people who were not and that's a lot more persuasive than any tiktok video or any manifesto for that

00:23:59.620 point you know the tree by its fruit who do you want to grow up to be chelsea handler or harrison

00:24:06.340 butker or harrison butker's wife or mother for that matter that's not a difficult decision there is so much

00:25:18.020 knowles speaking of flourishing scientists say we're about to live forever

00:25:26.100 this is only the millionth time that this headline has been reported in the last 5 000 years

00:25:32.620 but this time it's super duper serious some scientists according to this story

00:25:37.120 by insider as some scientists seriously believe we could live forever by the 2030s here's what you need

00:25:44.100 to know about the longevity escape velocity theory according to these scientists they're saying

00:25:52.180 somewhere in the 2030s we might reach this extremely uh long-term life expectancy that would that

00:26:01.620 would be it would make us virtually immortal they call it longevity escape velocity at which point 0.87

00:26:07.780 our medical advancements will progress faster than we are aging and i've heard this from my

00:26:14.260 kind of lib futurist friends for decades now they say michael sometime in our lifetime we might cure death

00:26:21.740 every crazy pharaoh dictator in history has tried to do something like this but this time we're really 0.73

00:26:28.780 really close they say because we've got all these scientists who are being quoted in articles and

00:26:36.320 they say it'll happen according to one this is a longevity researcher aubre degray quote everyone

00:26:44.680 knows aging is bad everyone says it's bad but nobody does anything about it like bad weather people are

00:26:49.740 stuck in the assumption that nothing can be done even if we try we wanted to put that assumption to rest

00:26:54.120 now i want to question that assumption a little bit he's right or she's right i don't know if aubrey

00:27:01.880 is a man or a woman it's very confusing these days our science can't distinguish between men and women

00:27:07.720 but we think we're going to cure death good luck it is true that we we know that death is bad we just

00:27:16.580 have this sense that that we dread death we we don't want it it feels unnatural as i've quoted on the

00:27:22.580 show a couple times in the past two weeks my friend patrick and rodrid points out that the reason that

00:27:27.640 death feels unnatural to us is because we weren't made to die because we were made good and uh how

00:27:35.440 we understand this how i understand this at least is that we were in the garden of eden and it was

00:27:39.000 perfect and then man abused his free will and sin and death pervaded the world and we have booted out

00:27:43.380 of the garden and then we have death but but that's unnatural you know there are two two meanings to the

00:27:50.200 word normal normal meaning the way things are commonly done and normal meaning ideal standards

00:27:55.960 and norms and so there's a gap between those two things because we're spirit and body you know put

00:28:03.760 together in a hylomorphic union and because we're creatures who are made for eternity but we're pilgrims

00:28:08.800 living here in this world that's traditionally how how this distinction is understood so from the

00:28:14.940 perspective of the garden of eden death is really really bad and we still have a little bit of that

00:28:21.020 in our in our view but i'm i question the longevity escape velocity researchers when they say death is bad

00:28:30.880 period because when we get booted out of the garden of eden death is the punishment we will die that's

00:28:37.660 or mortality is is just a fact of the fallen world no one here gets out alive but from the perspective

00:28:46.380 outside the garden of eden death is not only a punishment but also a remedy because in this

00:28:53.320 fallen world that is just filled with decay and sin and death and evil i can think of no worse punishment

00:29:00.820 really than being stuck here forever not saying i want to die tomorrow i feel that you know all will

00:29:08.080 happen in god's good time but i am i i don't feel that i'm made for this world that the christian view

00:29:14.380 is is that we are not made for this world we're made for another kingdom okay we're made to uh to

00:29:21.020 work through the trials of this world and to cooperate with god's grace and enjoy him forever

00:29:26.740 serve him in this world and enjoy him forever in eternity uh the modern people the scientist people

00:29:34.760 they can't accept that so they say no we figured it out we might be able to live forever well christians

00:29:40.000 will tell you yeah we we figured it out too or rather it was told to us and we can use our reason

00:29:45.100 to make some sense of this and we can use our reason to bring us to the edge of revelation and

00:29:48.800 revelation tells us something about this you can have eternal life too the way that you can have

00:29:54.760 eternal life real eternal life is uh be baptized and uh receive the sacraments and cooperate with

00:30:01.520 god's grace and pray and that's that's how you can have eternal life they say no no that's all bunk

00:30:07.360 we just need to live here here forever wouldn't that be great just live as i don't know like a 60 year

00:30:14.700 old with a touch of arthritis watching everything decay and trying to hoard your stuff and just just live in

00:30:23.260 this fallen world forever it doesn't sound wonderful to me he he who would have his life must lose it

00:30:29.760 that's the traditional view but i'm sure all these geniuses the geniuses that crop up in every age i'm

00:30:35.920 sure that they'll they'll have some better better answer right until until that one falls apart too

00:30:41.260 speaking of wonder drugs ozempic is the drug that makes you lose a lot of weight and ozempic

00:30:49.080 has some side effects because it turns out in this fallen world there's no such thing as a free lunch

00:30:54.540 so everything has a cost and we always deny that to ourselves but it's true so even ozempic this wonder

00:31:02.660 drug it turns out that there are some side effects to it some of the reported side effects uh ozempic can

00:31:09.640 can make you according to reports a gambler and a sex fiend and possibly file for divorce from your

00:31:17.960 spouse according to professor raymond playford who's an expert in molecular medicine at the

00:31:24.540 university of west london he's the co-author of this recent study he told mail online we have some

00:31:31.420 patients suddenly filing for divorce or splitting up from what seem to be stable relationships

00:31:36.720 in changing their home situation such as moving house on short notice risky behaviors due to

00:31:43.620 impulsivity are also associated with side effects of parkinson's disease drugs so it's not just ozempic

00:31:49.360 there are other drugs that lead to risky behavior impulsive behavior sometimes promiscuity all the rest of

00:31:55.280 it but this one is particularly funny because why do they take ozempic people take ozempic to make

00:32:03.080 themselves more physically desirable so i guess if you want to look at this as the glass half full

00:32:08.900 if you take ozempic you will probably look a little bit more desirable on the dating market

00:32:14.700 which you will have to enter into after the drug makes you abandon your family and divorce your wife

00:32:20.100 does that seem worth it what's it for what is the drug for sounds like it could ruin your life it

00:32:28.600 doesn't seem like shedding a few pounds is necessarily worth becoming a gambler bacchanal

00:32:35.260 attending satyr to me to me at least it seems like we're kind of putting the cart before the horse

00:32:41.700 there but it's another reminder there is no wonder drug there is no shortcut anytime you think you found

00:32:51.500 a wonder drug or a shortcut you probably have not there is a cost to everything in life and people have

00:32:58.220 been tempted by fantasy by omnipotence for all of history but this is especially pronounced in

00:33:05.840 liberal modernity which replaces god with us we think that we can become our own god this is the

00:33:12.460 title of uval harari the the very popular left-wing intellectual and writer his book homo deus that

00:33:19.100 we're going to we've become so conscious so genius that we're now going to end homo sapiens and we're

00:33:24.100 going to create ourselves into this new godly creature homo deus that has control over everything 1.00

00:33:30.200 we're we're not going to do that and if we were to become gods we would live in a in a world of very

00:33:37.300 horrible gods indeed because we're not all good and we're not all knowing and we're not all powerful and

00:33:43.480 so the degree to which we make ourselves a little bit more powerful that can have really disastrous

00:33:49.280 consequences there is no shortcut if you are a fatty just put down the cupcake and go for a run 0.94

00:33:56.680 on the treadmill if you try to have a shortcut you might become you might lose all your family's money

00:34:01.600 and then lose your family because you divorce them not a good idea speaking of families president trump

00:34:07.460 has just called the family of missionaries who were killed in haiti perhaps you saw the story i didn't

00:34:12.800 cover it yesterday uh this young couple davy and natalie they were missionaries they went out to

00:34:20.820 help the people of haiti and because haiti is a failed state filled with some of the the worst

00:34:26.320 cannibal gangs and most awful villains anywhere on earth uh they were killed now uh the the daughter

00:34:38.260 here natalie her father is a missouri state representative this guy ben baker and so

00:34:43.740 representative baker just tweeted out that trump called him called the family to express his

00:34:49.780 condolences he writes just got off the phone with donald j trump he was just calling to give

00:34:55.460 condolences to us and to the family for davie and natalie he really does care about people he said

00:34:59.900 i couldn't believe how beautiful these two young people were they looked like models thank you mr

00:35:03.420 president it's really sweet because it's you can tell it's sincere even just in the the diction that

00:35:08.940 trump uses you know trump former head of the miss universe pageant and big showbiz guy he he talks

00:35:14.220 about look how beautiful they were they just so they could have been models you know i mean and so which

00:35:18.560 some people will say well that's not the point mr president no it's actually a sincere expression of

00:35:23.520 condolence and it was a really nice thing for trump to do personally and it's a really smart thing for

00:35:29.100 trump to do politically because it draws such a sharp contrast between trump and biden i don't

00:35:34.820 think biden has called the family yet probably he will not furthermore joe biden persecutes christians

00:35:43.620 joe biden's doj and fbi spy on christians they spy on traditional catholics who they view as extremists

00:35:49.460 and threats biden's uh federal agencies try to persecute uh catholics when biden was

00:35:58.980 part of the obama administration was he when he was vp there they started suing nuns the little

00:36:03.220 sisters of the poor but even as biden has been president himself he's tried to restrict what

00:36:08.280 catholic schools and catholic adoption agencies can do when he's not outright spying on them he's

00:36:12.400 persecuting christians he's saying if you're a christian and therefore don't believe in things like

00:36:18.340 i don't know gender ideology don't don't support things like infanticide through abortion well then you

00:36:24.180 don't have political rights anymore we're going to force you to believe in those things and to

00:36:27.520 support those things biden persecutes christians trump defends christians why were the missionaries

00:36:34.420 in haiti in the first place maybe they they were just there to spread the gospel why was it so

00:36:39.960 dangerous for them to be there well it was particularly dangerous because haiti is now a 1.00

00:36:43.340 failed state on joe biden's watch because joe biden is supposed to be the head of the global empire

00:36:49.280 the global hegemon the united states there should not be failed states if america is so good and so

00:36:56.040 powerful certainly not failed states right off our coast but there are because biden is a terrible

00:37:02.300 president and he's mishandled foreign policy so there's a failed state there that's another reason

00:37:07.880 that that these people were killed very tragically this sort of stuff didn't happen under trump we

00:37:13.680 had relative world peace under donald trump it's just a really sharp contrast so what kind of country

00:37:18.580 do you want to live in the kind of country where christians are allowed to be christian the kind of

00:37:22.400 country where the world is relatively at peace or the current country we're living in which sacrifices

00:37:26.660 religious rights for infanticide and castrating children and which has an increasingly dangerous 0.93

00:37:33.440 world that has brought us to the brink of of not only regional but global conflict multiple times in

00:37:38.660 just the three years the guy's been in office jeremy's second generation razors they're here they're

00:37:45.140 bigger they're better and they are blacker i'll try to explain that last part we brought in the

00:37:50.660 experts to help us advertise our new great second gen razors their suggestion they said more dei

00:37:55.660 so we created a new jeremy a black jeremy his premier performance was in our viral video the

00:38:03.500 second greatest commercial ever which now has seven and a half million views on youtube turns out that

00:38:07.300 dei is not actually for minorities it's it's largely for liberal white women who wish to feel virtuous 0.99

00:38:14.100 so we will let other razor companies spend money on dei initiatives and woke ideology jeremy's is only

00:38:19.880 concerned with making a great razor don't worry we are keeping black jeremy not to appease the dei 0.67

00:38:26.840 czars but because we like him and we think he's cool the second gen razors have been radically

00:38:31.420 redesigned featuring a new ergonomic handle for superior durability and sharper longer lasting blades

00:38:36.160 you can get the new sprint 3 for a quick clean shave or our new and improved precision 5 for an

00:38:42.080 exceptionally smooth and closed shave head over to jeremy's razors.com start shaving like a man

00:38:46.140 not a manifesto my favorite comment yesterday is from dr stephen h7057 who says being a libertarian

00:38:54.160 capital l you know libertarian party is like being an atheist feels good to be on a side without any

00:38:59.920 responsibilities that is true and i will tell you as a young man mentioned earlier i was a libertarian

00:39:05.420 for some years that is a broad part of the appeal one part is you don't have to stand for any

00:39:11.180 particularly controversial convictions because the essential conviction of the libertarians is just do

00:39:15.400 whatever you want so it's not it it allows you to be invited to cocktail parties uh but also it's a

00:39:23.020 it's a deceptively comforting ideology if you're a young man who wants to you know go out and chat up

00:39:31.100 the young ladies and uh hit the bars and all the rest because because it says basically that there's

00:39:37.400 no higher moral good than individual choice and autonomy which coincidentally is the first principle

00:39:46.620 of satanism do do as thou wilt shall be the entirety of the law so say the satanists and unfortunately

00:39:52.880 those who promote licentiousness speaking of foreign affairs and joe biden claire mccaskill former

00:40:00.080 democrat senator has just made a controversial but i think accurate point on the state of the biden

00:40:09.040 campaign she says the top goal for joe biden right now has to be not necessarily to fix the economy

00:40:16.040 not to secure the border not to do this not to do that the top goal has to be to get bb netanyahu to

00:40:23.520 resign as prime minister of the state of israel i think he's been trying to do all of this back channel

00:40:29.560 but um the most important goal i believe for this press this presidency right now is to get netanyahu to

00:40:38.420 resign and netanyahu is holding on to power by his fingernails because of the far right who sees

00:40:46.700 the destruction of gaza and all areas of any palestinians in israel as their goal their goal 1.00

00:40:54.860 is very extreme and that's how he is in power so if he backs up on them he cannot be in power anymore

00:41:03.000 because he doesn't have the coalition he needs so i think that biden has to continue to try to press

00:41:09.400 other people in the israeli government to move as quickly and as strongly as they can to get netanyahu

00:41:15.800 out of that position claire mccaskill is totally right never thought i would say that sentence but

00:41:23.580 it's true this i've said this from the beginning of the war in gaza this is a particularly dangerous

00:41:30.700 issue for biden not because the issue matters all that much more to americans i don't think americans

00:41:38.140 really care that much about the israel gaza conflict at all i don't think they really care that much about

00:41:42.060 the ukraine russia conflict i don't think they care too much about taiwan and china's conflict

00:41:46.480 most people care much more about their wallet about the the invasion happening at our own border

00:41:54.220 they care about domestic issues but the reason this is a top urgent priority for biden is because the

00:42:00.460 israel gaza war is an issue that splits his own supporters biden's donors the democrat establishment

00:42:08.000 broadly pro-israel biden's rank and file uh grassroots supporters if he has any at all

00:42:17.460 at least the democrats grassroots supporters absolutely hate the state of israel and are

00:42:22.500 waving palestine flags and wearing keffias for goodness sakes okay they are on diametrically opposed

00:42:28.240 sides of this issue and they are calling the other side genocidal so pretty much the worst thing you can

00:42:34.880 accuse anybody of that is what each side within the democratic party within joe biden's voter base

00:42:42.580 is doing to the other side this doesn't involve republicans this doesn't involve conservatives this is

00:42:46.820 an intra-democrat fight and that is extremely dangerous because joe biden is the leader of the

00:42:54.520 the main country in the world that matters the country that dominates the global order so if biden

00:43:00.860 wanted to end the war in gaza tomorrow he could do it because we fund the israeli military and we

00:43:06.440 we tell not only israel what to do when we want to we tell every country in the world what to do when

00:43:10.760 we want to and we can do that we don't exercise that power very often but we could we certainly

00:43:17.140 could we're the globe who's going to challenge us china is rising to some degree india is rising to 0.97

00:43:22.200 some degree russia is kind of a joke so it falls to biden so when netanyahu is just glassing parts of

00:43:30.960 gaza the the pro-palestine democrats are going to blame joe biden for that they're going to be less

00:43:36.420 likely to vote for him in november when biden then to try to stop the the the bleeding of his political

00:43:43.400 support tries to appease the keffia wearing pro-palestine people then his pro-israel supporters

00:43:49.040 and his donors and the democrat establishment are going to turn on him they say you support these

00:43:54.860 genocidal hamas supporters and the other side will say you support that genocidal netanyahu and you and 0.68

00:44:02.600 they're just tearing each other apart so biden thinks that the number one priority is end the war

00:44:08.380 in gaza and to end the war in gaza you got to get bb netanyahu out of power i hate to admit that

00:44:14.020 claire mccaskill's right because it seems so off base how on earth could biden's top priority be

00:44:19.000 an election in the state of israel but if you're a democrat right now you're seeing your party fray

00:44:24.480 apart over this issue you would probably come to that conclusion too now speaking of the israel gaza

00:44:29.920 war uh this is a story from last week but it's worth mentioning number of european countries have

00:44:34.820 now acknowledged a palestinian state just a quick little hundred years of history here palace historic

00:44:43.060 palestine was a territory that was dominated by the ottoman empire and then after world war one the

00:44:48.740 ottoman empire goes away and britain controls the land there's still no nation state here or anything

00:44:54.480 like that and then britain says that they're going to establish a national homeland for jews but they're 0.93

00:45:00.000 kind of uh loose on the details of that but we see the beginnings of this in the balfour declaration

00:45:06.340 and then you get you already had a lot of jews moving to the land and then you get more jews moving 0.95

00:45:12.000 to the land and then 1948 there's a war of independence where the israelis declared out we've

00:45:17.160 got this state the international bodies acknowledge this state and so what about the palestinians

00:45:23.080 well they're just they're it's just kind of a territory and it's very ambiguous and the borders

00:45:28.100 have shifted a lot over the years and palestinian statehood has been a cause largely championed by the

00:45:32.800 left but in the west it's been nebulous well now you've got norway ireland and spain officially

00:45:40.480 recognizing a palestinian state among uh the g20 now 10 countries you know the the big players 20 of

00:45:51.440 the big players in the global stage 10 countries argentina brazil china india indonesia mexico russia

00:45:57.580 saudi arabia south africa and turkey have acknowledged a palestinian state now nine

00:46:03.820 countries have not that includes australia canada uh france germany italy japan south korea the uk and

00:46:11.660 the united states but really that doesn't matter what matters is what the united states acknowledges

00:46:16.200 that's really i don't care what argentina says about politics in the middle east no one cares

00:46:22.300 all that matters is the united states because the united states is for now the only entity on earth

00:46:29.380 that can project military power in any really serious way and we dominate the global economy

00:46:35.700 we're the global reserve currency and we're we're still living off at least the fumes of the the post

00:46:42.000 cold war uh global scenario in which we were the last superpower remaining okay so that that's all that

00:46:50.580 matters which means the buck stops with biden an unenviable position to be in if it's an election

00:46:57.960 year and there's a very controversial war in gaza going on so the dissatisfaction with biden is getting

00:47:02.760 much much worse you're seeing this reflected in polls the majority of democrats want to replace

00:47:07.660 joe biden at the top of the ticket the majority of democrats do not want biden to be their nominee in

00:47:13.620 2024 this according to rasmussen poll of 1100 likely voters between may 20th and 22nd i asked a question

00:47:20.280 would you approve or disapprove of democrats finding another candidate to replace biden before the

00:47:27.220 election in november of of all people only 49 said that they approved but what makes it interesting is

00:47:36.640 it wasn't that most republicans want to throw biden now that's that may be what you would expect

00:47:41.940 because republicans don't like joe biden right now the reason it was 49 is 53 percent 54 sorry of

00:47:49.380 democrats approve of replacing biden only 43 percent of republicans the biggest supporters

00:47:56.380 of joe biden as the democrat nominee right now in the country are republicans because they view biden

00:48:02.140 as weak because he has signaled that he is weak because he's sending his campaign to show up outside

00:48:06.640 of the trial where they're trying to imprison his political opponent and they can't even get any

00:48:10.520 serious name to show up to talk at that they have to get robert de niro star of gangster movies from

00:48:16.100 the 70s give me a break because biden is desperately releasing oil from our some of our strategic

00:48:22.800 reserves because biden is desperately trying to buy off young yuppie liberal college grad voters by paying

00:48:29.160 off their student loans he's doing everything he can because he feels that he's weak because he is weak

00:48:34.240 so now you have a clear majority of democrats and all i'm going to tell you on this point is

00:48:39.460 it's not going to happen so many people they keep the the real political nerds who i don't know they

00:48:47.200 like it's like um the fantasy football version of presidential politics fantasy politics they say

00:48:53.200 oh what do you think is biden going to drop out in june and then they're going to replace him

00:48:59.380 with michelle obama because they're going to skip kamala but kamala is a black woman so they can't

00:49:03.920 replace her with gavin newsom who clearly wants it so they're going to give it to michelle obama 0.99

00:49:07.660 but and then and then kamala is going to go and she's going to go be governor of california or 1.00

00:49:12.680 senator she's going to run a non-profit or this it's not going to happen none of that's going to 1.00

00:49:19.320 happen look biden is very aged so who knows he you know god forbid i hope he lives as long a life as

00:49:24.880 god wants him to but you know he's quite old and in decline something could happen really happen with

00:49:30.880 his health short of that he's the nominee you're going to have to pull that guy out of the white 0.97

00:49:37.220 house on a stretcher okay he is not going anywhere the democrats are stuck with him they've made their
