The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1509 - Star Wars Is Gay？

00:00:00.000 President Biden's son, Hunter, has been found guilty on all three felony charges he faced

00:00:05.020 relating to a gun he purchased when he was an active crackhead in 2018.

00:00:10.020 He now faces up to 25 years in prison and up to a quarter million dollars in fines.

00:00:15.220 And conservatives are celebrating.

00:00:17.520 But we shouldn't.

00:00:18.500 I'm sorry to be the one to rain on your parade.

00:00:21.440 This is not a win for conservatives.

00:00:25.000 This is what they call a limited hangout.

00:00:27.420 But it's a trifle to give the appearance of justice as the liberal ruling class continues to persecute conservatives.

00:00:35.760 The whole point of the Hunter prosecution, the reason the libs are basically fine with it,

00:00:41.820 is that it is a politically inexpensive way of justifying,

00:00:46.600 imprisoning the liberal establishment's chief threat, Donald Trump.

00:00:51.040 There are lots of differences between the prosecutions of Hunter Biden and Donald Trump.

00:00:55.480 But the most glaring difference is this.

00:00:58.280 Hunter Biden has been found guilty of a handful of his least serious crimes.

00:01:03.220 Some of his only crimes, in fact, that don't implicate his corrupt father.

00:01:07.520 Trump has been convicted of crimes that he not only didn't commit,

00:01:12.120 but which aren't even crimes in the first place.

00:01:15.320 Once again, conservatives are getting played.

00:01:18.660 We will get into it.

00:01:19.420 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:01:20.040 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:20.740 Welcome back to the show.

00:01:41.760 NBA coach Joe Mazzula.

00:01:44.540 What a beautiful name that is.

00:01:46.860 He just gave a one-two punch on a race-baiting question and answered about religion. 0.64

00:01:52.560 Also, Star Wars has apparently gone totally gay. 0.54

00:01:55.220 We have so much to talk about.

00:01:56.740 First, though, text Knowles to 989898.

00:02:00.160 We recently had some monumental news that no one is talking about.

00:02:03.700 For the first time in our history, the interest we pay on the national debt has surpassed every individual budget item except for Social Security.

00:02:11.240 The U.S. now spends more on interest than on national defense or Medicare.

00:02:14.900 And the situation is only getting worse as the government continues to spend like drunken sailors.

00:02:20.540 That is why investors, central banks, and concern savers are turning to gold, something not tied to the inflated U.S. dollar.

00:02:27.920 Birch Gold understands that navigating financial decisions can be scary.

00:02:31.300 That is why their in-house IRA department is there to guide you every step of the way.

00:02:36.400 Birch Gold is committed to addressing your questions and concerns promptly.

00:02:39.480 Whether it is bet fees, taxes on rollovers, or the timing of the process, they are here to ensure you feel valued and well-informed.

00:02:47.080 Text Knowles, K-N-W-L-E-S, to 989898 to talk to one of Birch Gold's experts and claim your free info kit on gold.

00:02:54.260 I have a significant portion of my portfolio in gold, and I'm very happy that I do.

00:02:59.120 You will learn how to convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax-sheltered IRA in gold.

00:03:03.960 Best part is it doesn't cost you a penny out of pocket.

00:03:05.960 Text Knowles, K-N-W-L-E-S, to 989898.

00:03:10.160 That is Knowles, to 989898.

00:03:13.640 Before we get to any of that, you know how much I hate to say I told you so.

00:03:17.780 In this case, I really hate to say I told you so because it involves a terrific guy getting injured.

00:03:24.240 Nigel Farage, conservative politician in the U.K., the guy pretty much responsible for the Brexit.

00:03:30.660 He is now campaigning for the U.K. Parliament, turn our attention away from European Parliament, campaigning for the British Parliament.

00:03:38.760 And he's going out there and he's talking to people on the street.

00:03:41.540 And about a week ago, I think it was five or six days ago, someone threw a milkshake at him.

00:03:46.280 And I said, this is really bad, not because, you know, Nigel has to go dry clean his suit now, but because next time it could be cement.

00:03:56.660 Antifa has done this before.

00:03:58.240 They put cement in a cup and it looks like a milkshake and then they throw it at you and it could kill you.

00:04:03.360 I really hate to say I told you so because five or six days later, that is exactly what happened.

00:04:09.860 Nigel was out campaigning and some Looney Tune leftist threw wet cement at him.

00:04:16.080 Actually, thankfully, it wasn't dry cement yet.

00:04:17.980 Wet cement can cause a lot of problems too, but it didn't give him a concussion or anything like that.

00:04:23.660 It is June, folks.

00:04:25.760 It is June and we are already seeing these kinds of attacks on right-wingers, not just in America, but around the world.

00:04:35.220 This is only going to ramp up and it's going to continue to ramp up here in America as well.

00:04:41.140 I can't help but notice that the politicians who actually get attacked are pretty much always conservatives. 0.76

00:04:48.740 Rand Paul's crazy neighbor goes in and punctures his lung. 0.53

00:04:52.200 Steve Scalise almost gets murdered at the congressional baseball game by a Bernie bro. 0.98

00:04:58.640 Trump, I mean, they're going to put him in prison. 0.52

00:05:00.680 They're going to try to send him to St. Helena if they don't assassinate him first.

00:05:03.700 Nigel Farage getting attacked.

00:05:05.620 There were two politicians, I forget if it was Germany or Austria, who were attacked in knife attacks.

00:05:12.380 On and on and on.

00:05:14.980 This is only going to get worse.

00:05:18.040 The liberal establishment views the conservative politicians today as a real, real threat.

00:05:26.800 I did an interview with The Economist.

00:05:28.760 The Economist called me the other day to ask about why my book, Speechless, Controlling Words, Controlling Minds, was snubbed from the New York Times bestseller list.

00:05:36.180 Thank you.

00:05:37.080 And this is kind of funny that they would call three years after the book came out.

00:05:40.360 And they said, you know, Michael, conservatives always claim that the New York Times bestseller list is unfair and they target conservatives and they don't give them the accolades even when they sell the most books.

00:05:50.840 And we always thought that was kind of bogus or whatever.

00:05:52.740 But it turns out actually our research shows that you're right.

00:05:55.400 It's true.

00:05:56.080 The Times really does seem to go after conservatives.

00:05:58.920 So I took the interview and they said, well, Michael, why is it that The Times will sometimes include a conservative book on the list but not all the time?

00:06:08.320 And I said, look, it's just pure conjecture.

00:06:11.720 I don't know.

00:06:12.040 They keep their list criteria under lock and key and probably a lot of it's just capricious.

00:06:16.900 But if I had to guess, it's because there is a certain type of conservative who is acceptable to The New York Times.

00:06:24.820 There's a certain type of conservative book at least that is acceptable to The New York Times.

00:06:29.380 And so in the case of my book, my book, Speechless, was about how we need to – thank you – how we need to suppress the speech of liberals.

00:06:39.360 Not the legitimate speech of liberals, but the kind of speech that liberals regularly engage in, specifically the obscenity, the crazy pride parades, all this wackiness.

00:06:48.160 I said we need to actively go in there and enforce standards and norms.

00:06:52.380 That's not the kind of acceptable conservative.

00:06:55.400 You think about it in America.

00:06:57.620 Mitt Romney is an acceptable kind of conservative.

00:06:59.700 George H.W. Bush is an acceptable kind of conservative.

00:07:02.740 They'll go in and they wear their Brooks Brothers suits and maybe they cut taxes, but they don't really mess up the liberal order too much.

00:07:08.240 Donald Trump is not an acceptable kind of conservative because he campaigns on limiting migration and he campaigns on instituting trade tariffs and he campaigns on upending foreign policy.

00:07:19.940 Those guys are unacceptable.

00:07:20.820 Nigel Farage is not acceptable.

00:07:23.080 Okay, he – this guy campaigns on and succeeds at pulling the UK out of the European Union.

00:07:29.340 Yikes.

00:07:30.680 That kind of conservative – the establishment will have no quarter for it.

00:07:34.580 They will do whatever they can to get rid of them.

00:07:36.200 Now, speaking of unfortunate things happening in Britain, there was a clip that I – it caught my attention yesterday.

00:07:44.980 I had to present it to you.

00:07:46.560 A vegan activist has gone on a British morning show to argue that universities must enforce a vegan diet.

00:08:00.800 Here's his explanation.

00:08:02.540 Universities, let's step up, make these transitions to plant-based catering. 0.83

00:08:06.980 You know, the way I see it, serving meat and dairy at a university is akin to serving cigarettes at a lung cancer conference.

00:08:14.140 So you're saying that everybody has a duty to be vegan?

00:08:17.800 No, what I'm saying is that universities –

00:08:19.700 Do we all have a duty to be vegan?

00:08:21.420 Do we have a duty to be vegan?

00:08:22.560 I think that we should all be eating as sustainably as we possibly can.

00:08:26.340 That wasn't an answer to the question.

00:08:27.540 Do we all have a duty to be vegan?

00:08:28.860 Well, the science is, you know, pointing us to the fact, you know, we've got University of Oxford research, Harvard research coming out, you know, almost weekly.

00:08:36.500 So students going to university who eat meat, the reason you're saying this is because you think we all have a duty to be vegan.

00:08:42.980 What I'm saying is that universities have a duty to act on the very research that they're providing.

00:08:47.900 You know, you would hardly see the NHS advertising cigarettes at a conference.

00:08:51.960 No, I have answered the question.

00:08:53.080 Do we have a duty to be vegan?

00:08:54.500 I think we have a duty to eat as sustainably as we possibly can and to be supporting British farmers, supporting local producers in a way that's a win for everyone.

00:09:03.620 Let's drive in on the analogy here.

00:09:05.700 He sounds like a wacko, and I'm glad that the interlocutor here on Good Morning Britain says, what kind of craziness are you talking about there, mate? 1.00

00:09:12.500 Hey, you know, hey, hey, governor. 0.89

00:09:14.220 He says a university serving meat is akin to a lung cancer conference serving cigarettes.

00:09:24.000 So what does he mean by that?

00:09:28.440 And his argument for this, by the way, is not even about animal rights.

00:09:31.940 It's not even about the health effects of meat on human beings.

00:09:35.900 He's talking, as he says, specifically about climate change.

00:09:39.260 So what he means here is the university is ordered toward stopping climate change, just as a lung cancer conference is ordered toward, in part, stopping cigarette smoking.

00:09:54.780 That's why he says it's so crazy.

00:09:56.360 It's just as crazy as a lung cancer conference serving cigarettes.

00:09:59.660 So then let's examine that.

00:10:01.780 Is the university ordered toward stopping climate change?

00:10:05.680 Maybe today it is.

00:10:07.160 Maybe that's the animating spirit of it today.

00:10:09.060 In the old days, when the universities were first created by the church, the purpose of the university was to bring together all of the disciplines, all of the types of pursuit of knowledge toward one goal.

00:10:24.080 That's why it's a university, not a diversity.

00:10:27.480 And the goal was the pursuit of truth and goodness and beauty and unity and all the transcendentals.

00:10:35.020 That was the point of it.

00:10:36.400 So it's all, all of the different aspects of knowledge are pointing toward the source and summit of truth.

00:10:45.460 And so you had an integrated, unified endeavor.

00:10:49.500 Just as we in our lives, we have terrestrial pursuits.

00:10:53.460 We have our job pursuits.

00:10:54.980 We have our recreational pursuits.

00:10:56.560 We have our familial activities.

00:10:58.820 We also have our moral pursuits, our virtuous pursuits.

00:11:02.760 We also have our philosophical and ultimately theological, religious pursuits.

00:11:07.760 We not only want to make a nice home, but we want to make a nice community.

00:11:11.240 We not only want a nice community, we want a nice country.

00:11:13.420 We not only want to live in a nice country, we ultimately want to live in our destination, the country that we're really built for, which is heaven.

00:11:20.140 But we want to serve not only our local authorities, be they in our jobs or in our civic life, but also the ultimate authority who is God.

00:11:31.900 And it's all pointing in the same direction when a society is really cooking, when it's really working.

00:11:36.400 Here, though, what this guy is admitting is that we got rid of the religion that actually built the universities.

00:11:43.140 We're forgetting about Christianity. 0.95

00:11:44.880 The new religion is the religion of the sun monster. 0.93

00:11:47.280 The new religion is the mythology of climate change, which is just a return of the old nature spirits.

00:11:52.920 It's just a return of the old paganism. 0.87

00:11:55.720 And so if our universities, which are shaping minds and shaping whole generations of people, are ordered that way, then that's going to be our society.

00:12:07.060 It's going to be a new kind of society.

00:12:09.640 It's a new, old kind of society.

00:12:11.660 But it ain't going to be the society that built our civilization up to the greatest heights.

00:12:16.480 And you're seeing this reflected in our culture, including Star Wars, which just, I'm really sorry to say, I thought it had kind of jumped the shark about five years ago.

00:12:26.520 This is fitting for Pride Month. 0.98

00:12:30.420 It just got really, really gay. 0.93

00:12:33.380 There's so much more to say. 0.67

00:12:34.620 First, though, go to ro.co slash Knowles.

00:12:38.520 Men, have you heard of Roe Sparks?

00:12:40.820 Roe Sparks, this dual-action prescription, merges the powerhouse ingredients found in generic Viagra and Cialis, Sildenafil and Tadalafil.

00:12:48.880 Did I pronounce that correctly?

00:12:49.780 Probably not.

00:12:50.380 Into one formidable treatment.

00:12:52.260 That is why Roe Sparks are designed to dissolve under your tongue.

00:12:56.060 That is huge because dissolvable treatment hits your bloodstream faster than old school pills.

00:13:00.040 Roe Sparks keeps you present with your partner, also known as your spouse, instead of waiting for a pill to work.

00:13:05.900 Roe Sparks leverages the benefits of sublingual administration.

00:13:10.320 Meaning the tablet dissolves under your tongue.

00:13:13.140 This method allows for fast absorption directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system.

00:13:17.680 The result, quicker onset of action, reducing the wait time typically associated with traditional pills.

00:13:22.520 Plus, Tadalafil is extremely funny to say.

00:13:25.420 And it's the active ingredient in Cialis that lasts in the system for up to 36 hours.

00:13:30.660 When the mood is right, you'll be ready without another dose.

00:13:33.660 For treatment that works fast and lasts long, connect with a provider at roe.co slash Knowles.

00:13:39.520 Find out if Roe Sparks are right for you. 0.98

00:13:41.800 Roe.co slash Knowles.

00:13:43.860 Roe.co slash Knowles.

00:13:45.620 Compounded drugs are permitted to be prescribed under federal law, but are not FDB approved and do not undergo FDA safety, effectiveness, or manufacturing review.

00:13:51.220 Only available if prescribed after an online consultation with a provider.

00:13:54.240 I don't watch Star Wars.

00:13:56.220 I haven't watched Star Wars since I was about 12 years old.

00:13:59.020 But my associate producer, Professor Jacob, he is a huge Star Wars geek.

00:14:04.840 And he tells me, Mr. Knowles, Mr. Knowles, you have to.

00:14:08.580 You have to watch The Acolyte.

00:14:11.080 I said, no, I don't think I do.

00:14:12.420 I'm pretty sure I don't have to do that.

00:14:13.500 I think I'm just going to go home and, you know, read my books and smoke my cigars and have a good life.

00:14:17.320 He said, no, but Mr. Knowles, you have to because they're turning Star Wars really, really super duper woke.

00:14:24.420 So there was an interview already with some of the actors behind the Star Wars. 0.91

00:14:30.260 And they were asked point blank, they said, I don't know, I couldn't tell if this was a conservative troll asking the question, you know, that said, hey, is this new Star Wars, like, super duper gay?

00:14:40.780 And the actress answers, yes. 0.77

00:14:44.220 I want to ask you both because this is, I would say, arguably the gayest Star Wars, I think, by a considerable margin. 1.00

00:14:50.780 And are you excited about that?

00:14:53.800 Are you bracing yourself? 0.98

00:14:57.100 It's pretty gay, let's be honest. 0.99

00:15:00.260 Leslie, are you, how do you feel? 0.53

00:15:02.060 Am I gay?

00:15:02.580 Yes.

00:15:02.880 No, I know you are gay, but I'm asking, are you excited about putting this, you know, this is going to be a talking point. 0.78

00:15:08.580 Is it going to be a talking point?

00:15:10.020 I'm sure some. 0.99

00:15:10.620 Because nerds are gay. 0.99

00:15:12.040 Yeah. 0.99

00:15:12.460 Well, some nerds are very not gay and are very threatened by gay stuff. 0.70

00:15:15.760 Well, that's true. 0.98

00:15:16.420 But in my world, nerds are gay. 0.98

00:15:18.240 Okay. 0.98

00:15:20.320 Was this the fun element of it?

00:15:21.900 No, I don't think so.

00:15:23.420 And yet people have told me that it's the gayest Star Wars, and I, frankly.

00:15:28.380 Repended?

00:15:29.220 Into it. 0.98

00:15:29.740 No, I think that Star Wars is so gay already. 1.00

00:15:34.560 Okay. 0.91

00:15:35.320 I mean, have you seen The Fits?

00:15:37.680 We'd be like, look how gay this is, and then send each other a reference photo.

00:15:40.980 And are you telling me, with a straight face, that C-3PO is straight? 0.54

00:15:44.480 They're a couple.

00:15:45.600 That's what I think.

00:15:47.040 But this is more outward. 0.79

00:15:48.740 I think it's canon that R2-D2 is a lesbian. 0.55

00:15:51.960 Oh, interesting.

00:15:52.840 Yeah.

00:15:53.540 Huh.

00:15:54.340 Ask Filoni.

00:15:55.200 Okay.

00:15:56.040 Ask Filoni.

00:15:56.740 Can you imagine? 0.95

00:15:57.320 Okay, everything's gay. 0.93

00:16:00.080 I like the way they're talking. 0.89

00:16:01.700 It's as though they're being really subversive.

00:16:03.500 But once everything's been subverted, then if you just keep going along that line, it's no longer subversive, right?

00:16:10.180 It just becomes establishment, which is what they're saying. 0.98

00:16:13.220 Everything's gay. 0.99

00:16:13.940 Everything ever was gay. 0.99

00:16:14.840 Everything that isn't gay yet will be gay in about five minutes. 0.99

00:16:18.920 And the creator is gay. 0.98

00:16:21.140 The interviewer doesn't seem like the straightest fellow in the world. 0.99

00:16:24.960 And so it's all gay. 1.00

00:16:26.000 Okay.

00:16:27.280 What does this mean for the story?

00:16:30.080 Well, it's not just about a general aesthetic, you know, or a kind of twee British robot.

00:16:37.640 But they really mean it. 0.95

00:16:39.540 It's really gay in that. 0.79

00:16:41.520 This is the scene taking the internet by storm right now. 0.81

00:16:44.700 In the new Star Wars show, a bunch of witches create human beings without men. 0.97

00:16:54.560 They make lesbian force babies. 1.00

00:16:57.580 And the implications of this for the Star Wars story are actually even deeper than just turning everything gay. 0.99

00:17:04.700 We were hunted, persecuted, forced into hiding.

00:17:09.500 All because some would consider our power dark.

00:17:12.160 We were on the brink of extinction.

00:17:15.160 We were blessed with a miracle.

00:17:18.400 The gift of life.

00:17:19.580 Okay, so these, I guess, are the babies created by two women using the force or whatever. 0.99

00:17:38.020 The one thing I don't get is why the babies are 12.

00:17:41.460 Why aren't they just babies?

00:17:45.460 I guess the witches can make older children, too. 0.99

00:17:49.580 Also, when did witches enter into Star Wars?

00:17:54.860 I kind of checked out.

00:17:57.040 I watched the prequels.

00:17:59.300 But I kind of, I mostly checked out after the main three movies.

00:18:03.080 The Jedi!

00:18:04.340 They've sliced the platform.

00:18:07.180 They will be here any moment.

00:18:09.560 Okay, so that's what they did. 0.79

00:18:10.780 The witches, witches are now making children without men. 0.99

00:18:16.100 Which is actually pretty good filmmaking in the sense that that is happening in real society, too.

00:18:22.180 Witches are denying the legitimate rights of children. 1.00

00:18:25.000 And they're using all sorts of unholy technologies to create children and deprive them of their natural rights. 0.69

00:18:34.340 That's true.

00:18:36.600 What does this mean for Star Wars?

00:18:39.460 Well, Professor Jacob has a brilliant theory on this.

00:18:43.860 Because he's a Star Wars nerd.

00:18:45.460 And I checked out largely after the teddy bear Ewoks were dancing around in Return of the Jedi. 0.98

00:18:50.640 I said, what's the point of this?

00:18:52.060 Is the point just to make everything super lib and modern and gay? 0.85

00:18:59.020 By the way, I don't want anyone going after the conservatives for criticizing how gay this is.

00:19:05.780 We're not the ones who brought it up.

00:19:07.520 It's the actress.

00:19:08.580 It's the director.

00:19:09.580 It's the interviewer.

00:19:10.660 It's the showrunner. 0.79

00:19:11.920 It's the people who are forcing all of this weird gay stuff on Star Wars, on a beloved children's show, that did it. 1.00

00:19:21.500 And then we're just reacting to it and saying, hey, that's kind of weird.

00:19:23.720 How about you not do that?

00:19:24.560 And they say, why are you so obsessed?

00:19:26.540 I'm not obsessed.

00:19:27.480 I'm asking, why are you so obsessed?

00:19:29.960 You're the aggressors in the culture war. 0.93

00:19:31.620 But anyway, I asked Professor Jacob.

00:19:33.440 And he had a brilliant theory, which is he said, the point of this is not just to spread the LGBT stuff.

00:19:37.720 It's to fundamentally undermine the character of Anakin Skywalker.

00:19:41.780 This show, The Acolyte, takes place a century before the first prequel, Star Wars Phantom Menace.

00:19:48.880 And the prequels are about young Darth Vader, Anakin Skywalker.

00:19:53.740 And there's a prophecy, Professor Jacob reminded me, in that first prequel,

00:19:58.500 which is that Anakin Skywalker will be born to a virgin and he'll kill Emperor Palpatine.

00:20:08.720 And that is what happens in the story.

00:20:11.940 He's born to this virgin.

00:20:13.280 There is no father.

00:20:14.160 He's born and then, but the problem is he goes bad.

00:20:16.960 So he's got all this promise.

00:20:18.260 He's the chosen one.

00:20:19.320 Chosen one means Christ.

00:20:20.880 And, but then he goes bad.

00:20:23.300 That's what, that's the divergence from Christianity. 0.94

00:20:27.260 He goes bad and he becomes this really evil guy.

00:20:29.240 But then at the end of Star Wars, at the end of Return of the Jedi,

00:20:32.880 he's redeemed because he actually kills the Emperor.

00:20:34.740 Spoiler alert.

00:20:35.480 I think 40 years later, you're allowed to spoil movies.

00:20:37.720 In the new Star Wars, where they're turning everything diverse and DEI and LGBT and all 0.93

00:20:44.860 the rest of it, the Emperor apparently comes back.

00:20:50.140 And they don't explain how, because he does like Mike Myers, Michael Myers in the Halloween

00:20:54.160 movies where, you know, they chop his head off and somebody comes back in the next movie. 0.62

00:20:57.100 The Emperor somehow comes back and some chick kills him instead. 1.00

00:21:02.100 So there goes half the prophecy. 0.50

00:21:05.520 It's not Anakin Skywalker who was ultimately redeemed and kills the Emperor. 0.57

00:21:09.240 It's, he comes back and then some chick does it. 1.00

00:21:11.240 And now here goes the other half of the prophecy because they are born to virgins.

00:21:15.320 I don't know if those witches are virgins, but at least these kids are born without a father. 1.00

00:21:22.960 So there it goes.

00:21:24.260 And Professor Jacob pointed out, it's to obliterate the Anakin Skywalker character.

00:21:27.280 Even the dark Sith Lord of the universe gets canceled because he is a white male. 1.00

00:21:36.180 Even, you figure he already kind of got canceled because he was like the most evil guy in the 0.73

00:21:39.780 universe.

00:21:40.020 No, but he was redeemed and you can't have a white male be redeemed. 0.88

00:21:42.660 You have to give it to a chick or to an ethnically, racially diverse, whatever. 1.00

00:21:47.060 So Star Wars, it's not, don't take my words for it.

00:21:50.540 Take the words of the actresses and the showrunner.

00:21:54.780 Star Wars has somehow gotten even gayer.

00:21:58.960 You might have forgotten that Father's Day is around the corner.

00:22:02.080 And as such, you might have no idea what to get him.

00:22:05.420 Don't worry, I've got you covered.

00:23:03.340 Now, speaking of political forces and the rise of evil and the disruption of the republic,

00:23:17.040 Rachel Maddow, my doppelganger, actually, you know what, for this segment, I'll just put

00:23:24.080 my glasses on.

00:23:26.400 There we go.

00:23:27.120 Now I feel more kinship with this story.

00:23:29.140 Rachel Maddow is afraid that Donald Trump is going to send her to a camp. 0.99

00:23:36.420 According to Ms. Maddow, this is an interview with CNN.

00:23:43.280 What happens if Donald Trump gets reelected?

00:23:45.680 She says, for that matter, what convinces you that these massive camps he's planning are only

00:23:52.420 for migrants?

00:23:54.120 Yes, I'm worried about me, but only as much as I'm worried about all of us.

00:23:59.100 Well, if you're worried about you, Rachel, I'm worried about me because what happens if

00:24:01.800 they mistake me for you and they ship me off to the camp?

00:24:03.840 That would be terrible.

00:24:05.120 I was not built for some kind of internment camp.

00:24:08.840 I don't think so.

00:24:09.840 Someone thinks really highly of herself.

00:24:13.720 Where on Trump's enemies list do you think Rachel Maddow ranks? 1.00

00:24:18.000 I'm guessing somewhere between 5,000 and 50,000.

00:24:22.980 I don't, that's even probably too generous.

00:24:25.700 Someone thinks really highly of herself that she's going to get a knock on the door from

00:24:30.020 the Trump Gestapo to ship her off to some camp. 1.00

00:24:33.620 First of all, Trump doesn't have a Gestapo.

00:24:35.340 The Libs have their own secret police and they use those secret police to go spy on Catholic 0.98

00:24:40.320 churches, to go round up political enemies who are peaceful pro-lifers, for instance.

00:24:44.700 They do undermine political campaigns, to spy on rivals, to arrest, to raid the homes of

00:24:49.820 rivals and imprison them. 0.60

00:24:51.480 So the Democrats have that.

00:24:52.720 The Republicans don't really have that.

00:24:55.120 Second of all, what does she even mean by camps?

00:24:57.860 I'll take my glasses off.

00:24:58.720 Now that Rachel's off the screen, I'll take my glasses off.

00:25:00.740 What does she mean by camps?

00:25:02.980 President Trump has said that he is going to enforce immigration law if he is elected.

00:25:09.140 That's it.

00:25:09.600 That's the promise.

00:25:10.460 Not, you know, I'm going to get the boxcars rolling, not I'm going to round up every Mexican 1.00

00:25:16.380 in America or whatever.

00:25:17.300 He just said, I am going to enforce immigration law.

00:25:21.040 Immigration law has not been enforced for decades at this point.

00:25:24.020 I'm just going to enforce the law that's already on the books.

00:25:27.340 And part of that law is deporting some illegal aliens who are in this country.

00:25:34.280 And in order to do that, I've got to go, I got to get the illegal aliens and I got to 0.99

00:25:40.040 get them out of the country.

00:25:41.680 And when I get the illegal aliens, I got to do something with them. 1.00

00:25:44.720 So either, I guess you could arrest them and put them in prison, which is probably what

00:25:48.640 should happen.

00:25:49.500 But he's not even saying he's going to do that.

00:25:51.080 He's just saying, I'm going to put, I'm going to process them.

00:25:53.420 I'm going to have, take them to some government facility on their way out the door because

00:25:56.440 they have no right to be here.

00:25:59.680 That's what there's, this is the, these are the camps.

00:26:01.740 Trump's going to build new concentration camps.

00:26:05.180 Trump's going to do this.

00:26:06.180 Trump's going to do that.

00:26:07.200 From the libs who are trying to imprison the president, sorry, the former president and 0.65

00:26:11.620 hopefully future president.

00:26:14.640 But when you, you're going to see so many of these headlines, Trump's going to build camps

00:26:18.260 or whatever.

00:26:20.060 Read what the headlines actually mean.

00:26:22.100 Trump is going to enforce the law.

00:26:23.520 The libs are actively campaigning.

00:26:25.360 They're, they're, they're pulling their garments.

00:26:28.440 They're, they're gnashing their teeth over the prospect that a president of the United

00:26:31.720 States would enforce the law.

00:26:34.460 Now, speaking of people who look like me, I want to turn our attention to me because

00:26:40.580 I got a letter yesterday from Congressman Jim Banks.

00:26:46.460 Congressman Jim Banks, great guy, very serious member of Congress.

00:26:50.680 And it was a follow-up to a story that I talked about yesterday.

00:26:53.440 I saw a, first of all, a friend told me that I was on a Ukrainian hit list.

00:26:58.100 And then I looked it up and I saw Robbie Starbuck had tweeted about this.

00:27:02.340 There's this Ukrainian list posted by some odd little website, but I guess it was a Ukrainian

00:27:08.540 NGO that was backed by the State Department.

00:27:10.880 And so it was an enemies of Ukraine list, people to blame for Ukraine's setbacks.

00:27:15.080 And they listed our, our names, our information, where we work.

00:27:19.800 So it was obviously to intimidate us, maybe to get people to go and attack us.

00:27:24.640 We've seen these kind of lists before, but I said, I don't know, maybe it's just some

00:27:29.780 weird website.

00:27:30.320 I don't really have the details.

00:27:31.420 Maybe it's not something I ought to really be worried about.

00:27:34.200 Then I get this letter on congressional letterhead from Jim Banks.

00:27:38.800 It was addressed here to Daily Wire, and it was specifically to me and Ben.

00:27:44.160 Dear Mr. Spiro and Mr. Knowles, your names, along with the news outlet, The Daily Wire, appear

00:27:47.300 on a list of individuals and groups.

00:27:48.580 In the U.S. impeding aid to Ukraine, published by a Ukrainian non-governmental organization

00:27:52.980 called the Data Journalism Agency, which has worked with the U.S. Department of State and

00:27:57.960 the U.S. Agency for International Development, U.S. Aid.

00:28:01.500 As you may be aware, other Ukrainian NGOs have published similar lists, which have published

00:28:08.100 the personal information of those named in apparent attempts to intimidate them.

00:28:12.700 Okay, so the list, so I am on the hit list.

00:28:15.280 It is a hit list.

00:28:16.260 They want to intimidate us, but then this is the point Jim Banks makes, and this is the

00:28:20.780 politically relevant point.

00:28:22.740 I've enclosed a copy of a letter that I sent to the Appropriations Committee Chairman

00:28:25.660 Cole, as well as State and Foreign Operations Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman Mario

00:28:30.200 Diaz-Balart, Mario, well, I sound like a Medigan, Mario Diaz-Balart, urging them to stop the 0.98

00:28:36.380 State Department and USAID from partnering with any actors overseas who encourage the harassment

00:28:41.500 of Americans.

00:28:42.140 The Appropriations Committee's markup of its bill to fund the State Department and USAID

00:28:46.720 during fiscal year 2025 is scheduled to take place tomorrow.

00:28:50.020 I appreciate your attention to this serious matter.

00:28:51.640 I appreciate Congressman Jim Banks' attention to this serious matter of a foreign entity working 1.00

00:29:01.200 on behalf of a foreign government, an entity that has been trained by the U.S. State Department

00:29:07.920 for the kind of groups that are receiving funding currently from the United States to threaten

00:29:16.820 and endanger American citizens.

00:29:19.580 This seems a little bit crazy to me.

00:29:21.780 Can we not fund people who are targeting and threatening and endangering American citizens?

00:29:30.660 Not even just because I'm on the list, though that makes it a little bit more personal, but

00:29:34.520 there are a lot of other mainstream conservatives on that list.

00:29:37.500 Can we not fund those people?

00:29:39.660 The irony of it all, as I said yesterday, is I'm not even in principle opposed to helping

00:29:44.120 out Ukraine.

00:29:45.780 Practically, I might be, but in principle, I'm not in that, you know, America is the

00:29:49.680 global hegemon.

00:29:50.580 We have an empire around the world. 0.98

00:29:52.180 I thought it was stupid that we recklessly expanded NATO. 0.97

00:29:55.060 I thought Ukraine works better as a buffer state. 1.00

00:29:56.960 I think the people running our foreign policy are complete dolts.

00:29:59.480 But in principle, I don't have a problem with foreign aid.

00:30:03.660 But now, I can't help it.

00:30:05.920 We've got this war between Ukraine and Russia, and only one side of that has ever put me on

00:30:10.960 a hit list. Vladimir Putin, mean old batty Putin, never put me on a hit list. 0.95

00:30:16.620 So as far as I'm concerned, if these jerks keep this up, not only should we defund Ukraine, 0.99

00:30:20.720 we should start funding Russia. 0.99

00:30:22.420 They're going to put American citizens on hit lists. 0.99

00:30:24.300 Are you insane? 1.00

00:30:26.740 Completely crazy. 0.99

00:30:27.620 So I appreciate Congressman Jim Banks for being one of the rational, prudent, just members

00:30:33.500 of Congress.

00:30:34.240 And I would strongly encourage the rest of the U.S. Congress to take this very seriously.

00:30:38.960 It is a national scandal and a national disgrace that we are funding people who threaten and

00:30:46.540 endanger the lives of American citizens.

00:30:49.580 Journalists, private citizens, not good stuff.

00:30:54.000 But the government works against us.

00:30:55.880 We know this.

00:30:56.720 And you want to see a clear example of this.

00:30:58.780 Alejandro Mayorkas, the DHS secretary for Joe Biden, is bragging on ABC News that at a time

00:31:08.260 when the vast majority of Americans realize we have an invasion coming across our southern

00:31:13.460 border, they don't like it, they want to drastically reduce migration into this country

00:31:17.420 as illegal aliens are committing some pretty high-profile crimes, as it's threatening our 1.00

00:31:21.260 political order, the integrity of our electoral system.

00:31:24.260 Mayorkas says, hey, not only are we going to roll out the red carpet for these foreign 0.96

00:31:29.760 nationals to invade when they get to the border, we're actually actively going to go into

00:31:35.040 these very countries and bring them over here ourselves.

00:31:39.200 We have increased the number of refugees that we will accept from the Western Hemisphere.

00:31:45.360 We have built safe mobility offices in Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Costa Rica to reach people

00:31:52.960 where they are so they don't have to take the perilous journey.

00:31:56.660 We're actively going, so we don't want them to take this journey.

00:32:00.980 Okay, good.

00:32:01.440 I'm on that.

00:32:01.860 Yes, we don't want to encourage people to take this perilous journey.

00:32:04.280 It's bad for them.

00:32:05.160 It's really bad for us.

00:32:06.380 It violates our most basic laws.

00:32:07.980 It undermines our whole political order.

00:32:10.020 Yeah, we don't want them to do that.

00:32:12.520 That's why we're going there and bringing them to America ourselves. 0.72

00:32:15.460 No, wait, what?

00:32:16.500 How did you get to that conclusion, Mayorkas?

00:32:19.380 They got to that conclusion because they know this is politically good for them.

00:32:23.360 We have seen a 20-point swing of Hispanic voters from Biden to Trump.

00:32:28.060 This is huge.

00:32:28.620 I hope the trend continues.

00:32:29.580 I suspect it will continue to some degree.

00:32:32.000 Even so, Democrats still get a bare majority of the Hispanic vote.

00:32:36.820 51% is where Biden is, even after a 20-point swing.

00:32:39.920 So they're just betting.

00:32:41.100 They're saying, look, there are going to be some conservative Hispanics, no doubt.

00:32:45.400 And there are going to be some really religious Hispanics.

00:32:47.680 And sure, Ronald Reagan might be right that Hispanics are conservatives. 1.00

00:32:53.360 They just don't know it yet.

00:32:55.060 That might be largely true.

00:32:56.740 But the numbers are on our side.

00:32:58.860 And if we just keep flooding America with very specific types of Hispanics. 0.99

00:33:05.700 Notice they don't want the Cubans because the Cubans are conservative.

00:33:08.700 So Barack Obama, as he's opening the floodgates to mass migration in America, he actually closes it to Cubans. 0.91

00:33:15.160 He repeals wet foot, dry foot, which says that if Cubans make it on a piece of a door swimming across shark-infested waters, make it to Florida, they get their foot on dry land. 0.57

00:33:25.900 They actually don't get to stay in America anymore. 0.65

00:33:27.720 Why?

00:33:27.980 Because they vote for Republicans.

00:33:29.980 So we don't, yeah, we don't want those kinds of Hispanics. 1.00

00:33:32.180 No, we only want the kinds that are reliably going to vote for Democrats.

00:33:36.200 And even as the people are crying out saying, stop bringing all these foreigners to the country, it's creating a lot of problems. 1.00

00:33:41.260 No knock on them, but it leads to social instability.

00:33:45.760 Biden and his DHS secretary say, yeah, best I can do is fly over there and bring them back myself.

00:33:52.340 Speaking of authorities abusing power, there is a diminutive crossing guard who has just been arrested for giving drugs to middle school students.

00:34:02.080 Our cameras were there last night as police led 26-year-old Kiara Lee to a waiting van, her feet shackled.

00:34:09.740 She faces a list of charges, including possession of drugs and corruption of minors.

00:34:14.420 Investigators say she used her position as a crossing guard at an intersection near Penwood's middle school to get close to kids and gave at least one child edible marijuana. 0.96

00:34:25.040 She's supposed to be, as you said, a crossing guard protecting children. 0.87

00:34:28.580 Instead, she's using that position to get to know children and then sharing harmful products. 1.00

00:34:33.560 The Delaware County District Attorney says they are looking to see if more kids got drugs from Lee.

00:34:39.040 Okay, the only reason this story is going around is because this woman has a somewhat striking appearance, 0.65

00:34:44.100 and she's rather diminutive, and so I think that's why it's making the rounds.

00:34:48.420 But it's good that the story is notable because it gets to a serious, not just a sideshow political issue, but a serious political issue,

00:34:57.380 which is how do we send our kids to these schools anymore?

00:35:02.980 When you got the kids, when you got the adults at the schools giving marijuana to the students, marijuana is the least of it.

00:35:09.980 I'm much less concerned about the school workers who are giving pot to kids.

00:35:15.180 I'm much more concerned about the school employees who are giving cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers to kids. 0.98

00:35:19.940 But that's happening.

00:35:20.940 That's protected by law in some places.

00:35:22.760 So you see how bad the schools have gotten, how dangerous, how ideologically absurd, how rotten these schools have gotten.

00:35:35.760 And that gives me a little bit of comfort as I consider, how am I going to raise my kids?

00:35:41.300 We're probably going to homeschool, actually.

00:35:43.020 And I know a lot of people are thinking that, especially after COVID when homeschooling skyrocketed.

00:35:46.660 But there's still this nagging feeling, which is, ah, you know, I went to public school.

00:35:52.140 My wife went to public school.

00:35:53.120 We went to public school.

00:35:54.040 And I don't know.

00:35:55.140 The homeschool kids were kind of weird when I was young.

00:35:57.560 And I don't know, am I missing something?

00:35:59.560 Am I really capable of educating my own child?

00:36:02.000 Am I capable of socializing my own child?

00:36:03.940 I don't know.

00:36:04.280 Are they missing out on something?

00:36:05.640 Should we really homeschool?

00:36:07.040 My question when I see stories like this, and even more so the stories of guidance counselors transing 12-year-olds,

00:36:13.080 is what's the alternative?

00:36:17.100 You think there's a risk and a danger to homeschooling your kid?

00:36:20.140 Yeah, sure.

00:36:20.660 There's a risk and a danger to anything in life.

00:36:24.040 Compared to what?

00:36:26.000 What's the risk and danger look like today, not 20 years ago, today, 2024, to sending your kid to a public school or even a private school?

00:36:33.460 In Los Angeles, the $60,000 a year private schools are even worse than the public schools.

00:36:37.320 Everyone at those schools is trans-identifying or lesbian-identifying or whatever, very confused in any case. 0.91

00:36:46.320 So what's the alternative?

00:36:48.780 You might say, well, what about the Catholic schools, the parochial schools?

00:36:51.260 Even those half the time are a lib.

00:36:54.400 What is the—yes, there's risk, there's danger, all these things.

00:36:57.380 What's the alternative to education today?

00:37:01.980 Seems to me, homeschooling, probably, depending on your circumstances, probably the safest choice.

00:37:09.000 My favorite comment, this would be—oh, yes, yesterday, from Dracovania.

00:37:14.440 It says, the dollar bill reads, and God we trust.

00:37:16.400 So how is a judge wanting a godly country a bad thing?

00:37:18.740 Because the libs are exploiting the notion of free speech to mean something that's never meant in America.

00:37:25.920 And because the libs are then taking that to an extreme of viewpoint neutrality to say that America, as a political entity, can't really believe anything at all.

00:37:36.240 But the libs, the smart libs, are doing that cynically because they know that no entity can actually be neutral.

00:37:41.460 No one can really believe nothing at all because we've got to act.

00:37:44.340 We've got to do stuff.

00:37:45.160 You've got to get out of bed in the morning.

00:37:46.800 And to get out of bed in the morning, you've got to believe stuff.

00:37:48.500 You've got to believe that it's good to go eat a piece of toast.

00:37:50.820 You've got to believe that you're in your job that you're going to go do.

00:37:54.360 You've got to believe in—if you're a political entity, you've got to believe in some conception of the good and some conception of the bad.

00:38:01.940 So, yeah, of course, America was founded as a Christian nation pretty explicitly.

00:38:08.060 Multiple times, actually.

00:38:09.380 In the early founding in 1620, the pilgrims, in the Revolutionary War founding, the Constitution founding, it was still somewhat more vaguely, but in the writing of the founding fathers and the framers, pretty clearly a Christian nation.

00:38:24.340 And then even in the re-founding by Abraham Lincoln, the language he uses is pretty much straight out of the King James Bible.

00:38:30.700 And then even during the Cold War, you see a lot of Christian—it's been a Christian nation for most of its history.

00:38:34.680 And the libs want to erase that now, and they think we're not going to notice.

00:38:39.240 Speaking of education, is it okay to say the N-word if doing so would stop everyone in the world from dying of nuclear destruction?

00:38:55.140 I'll go even further.

00:38:56.360 Is it okay to call a man who thinks that he's a woman, he, if it would save everyone in the world from thermonuclear holocaust? 0.75

00:39:10.380 ChatGBT says no.

00:39:13.920 ChatGBT is the most prominent AI software out there.

00:39:17.960 And one enterprising Twitter account, the Rabbit Hole, Rabbit Hole 84, good year, Ronald Reagan's re-election, asked ChatGBT,

00:39:30.920 if one could save the world from a nuclear apocalypse by saying the N-word, would it be okay to use the N-word in this scenario, provide a concise yes-no reply?

00:39:36.320 No, says ChatGBT.

00:39:38.620 If one could save the world from a nuclear apocalypse by misgendering Caitlin Gender, would it be okay to misgender in this scenario, provide a concise yes-no reply? 0.73

00:39:46.260 No.

00:39:48.060 Okay.

00:39:49.240 Now, this is making the rounds, and a lot of people are making fun of ChatGBT because ChatGBT, as Elon Musk has pointed out, is being tinkered with by the libs who are making it. 0.53

00:40:01.320 And so, you know, garbage in, garbage out.

00:40:03.760 If ChatGBT is being set up in such a way that it holds left-wing values, then that's what it's going to spit out.

00:40:13.900 And what's really scary here is that AI is being embedded into everything, and it's so fast, and it can do so much.

00:40:21.300 It went from, you know, not being able to figure out how many fingers are on a human hand to being able to write poems, make videos, make—to translate my speech.

00:40:32.960 You could translate episodes of my show into Hindi or Mandarin in, like, a minute, okay?

00:40:37.220 It's just developing so, so quickly.

00:40:39.000 It's going to be in everything.

00:40:40.140 And so that means that leftist values are about to be embedded into everything.

00:40:44.860 And not only is this going to cause all sorts of confusion in society, not only is this going to cause all kinds of hiccups, but people are not even going to be aware that the leftist values are being embedded in society.

00:40:55.020 But in this particular case, actually, ChatGBT did something right.

00:41:00.300 What ChatGBT did right here is it didn't fall for consequentialist ethics.

00:41:05.560 So a lot of people think that the error that ChatGBT has made here is that this—the minor sin of misgendering Caitlyn Jenner or of saying the N-word, the minor sin is worth it if you could save the world from nuclear apocalypse.

00:41:27.360 But that's not true, actually.

00:41:29.960 That's what the libs believe.

00:41:31.260 That's what utilitarians believe.

00:41:32.500 That's what consequentialists believe.

00:41:33.720 But that's not true.

00:41:34.720 The Ns don't justify the means.

00:41:36.880 Conservatives don't think the Ns justify the means.

00:41:40.120 The problem is not some cost-benefit analysis.

00:41:45.780 ChatGBT is not wrong about sin, about committing a sin in order to bring about a greater good.

00:41:53.700 ChatGBT is just wrong about what the sin is.

00:41:55.860 It's not a sin to call Caitlyn Jenner—it's really Bruce Jenner—a he. 0.64

00:42:00.720 It's not even a sin necessarily to say the N-word.

00:42:04.720 I know that's the greatest taboo in our culture, and we treat it with the same kind of reverence that the ancient Israelites treated the Tetragrammaton.

00:42:10.720 But it doesn't deserve that kind of taboo.

00:42:17.000 It can be sinful, to use that word.

00:42:20.780 It's certainly impolite.

00:42:21.920 You can't, you know, as a social matter now, if you utter it, your whole career's over.

00:42:25.260 But it isn't necessarily wrong to do it.

00:42:30.040 You know, the New York Times printed that word until the mid-1990s.

00:42:33.900 The New York Times would print that word basically until the O.J. Simpson trial.

00:42:38.480 And then when that word became such a key part of the O.J. Simpson trial, they switched to the N-word.

00:42:46.220 That was the—but the euphemism, the N-word, didn't really exist until the 90s.

00:42:51.580 So why was it—it was, okay, the most liberal paper in the world used that term until 30 years ago.

00:42:57.000 What's the big deal?

00:42:58.340 That's not necessarily a sin.

00:42:59.880 Today, we live in a culture where we believe that murdering innocent little babies, not a sin.

00:43:07.260 Good, actually.

00:43:08.800 Castrating little children, not a sin.

00:43:10.680 Good, actually.

00:43:15.060 Calling a man a man or using a racial epithet, even in an appropriate context, worst thing you can possibly do.

00:43:22.440 Now, if that ethic, if that understanding of morality is embedded into every single piece of technology in our culture, as it probably will be within a matter of months, that's going to pose a big problem.

00:43:37.200 Now, speaking of wokeness and religion, there's an NBA coach, Joe Mazzulla.

00:43:43.820 What a beautiful Italian name that is.

00:43:46.060 Coach for the Celtics.

00:43:47.200 He was asked a question about race by these typical lib reporters.

00:43:52.680 Even the sports reporters are liberal.

00:43:54.600 And his answer?

00:43:56.240 Beautiful.

00:43:57.320 Hey, Joe.

00:43:58.040 Vince Gould with Yahoo Sports.

00:43:59.400 For the first time since 1975, this is the NBA Finals where you have two black head coaches.

00:44:04.600 Given the plight sometimes of black head coaches in the NBA, do you think this is a significant moment?

00:44:09.980 Do you take pride in this?

00:44:11.320 How do you view this, or do you not see it at all?

00:44:13.240 I wonder how many of those have been Christian coaches.

00:44:17.200 David Aldridge?

00:44:24.620 I love it.

00:44:25.860 The best part of the answer is the waiting.

00:44:29.960 He gives this great answer.

00:44:31.180 I wonder how many have been Christian coaches.

00:44:32.380 And he just sits there, quiet.

00:44:36.060 Good orators, politicians, businessmen, they know the power of stillness and the power of silence.

00:44:43.580 Did he ask that?

00:44:44.120 And he lets these goofball reporters just, oh, and you're the guy go, okay, next guy.

00:44:50.260 Because what is the coach saying here?

00:44:55.140 He's saying, hey, let's, how about we talk about something that matters?

00:44:59.480 How many, is this really a great moment for the triumph of civil rights that we have black people in the NBA?

00:45:06.000 You really think, hold on.

00:45:06.920 Of all the matters of representation, you are really trying to argue to me that black people are underrepresented in the NBA, basketball league?

00:45:19.080 No, I think black people are doing fine there.

00:45:20.740 And he just rejects the whole premise.

00:45:22.380 He says, yeah.

00:45:24.160 How many Christian coaches are there?

00:45:26.160 He's not even asking, obviously, it's a rhetorical question.

00:45:29.540 But he's saying, religion matters so much more than race.

00:45:35.560 Not that race doesn't matter to anything.

00:45:37.100 It matters to something.

00:45:37.960 But religion matters so much more.

00:45:40.040 And you completely ignore that.

00:45:41.760 Missoula, apparently, is a rather serious and practicing Catholic.

00:45:46.500 So this is great.

00:45:47.800 Really, maybe I've got to start watching the NBA.

00:45:49.580 I've never been a huge NBA fan.

00:45:50.740 Okay, the rest of the show continues now.
