00:00:37.660 Great news.
00:00:38.800 The establishment media have debunked a lie about Donald Trump seven years after inventing and peddling that lie.
00:00:48.160 Better late than never, I guess.
00:00:49.700 Seven years ago, President Trump condemned neo-Nazis and white supremacists after a march in Charlottesville, Virginia.
00:00:57.480 You had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people on both sides.
00:01:06.540 You had people in that group.
00:01:07.980 Excuse me.
00:01:08.720 Excuse me.
00:01:09.300 I saw the same pictures as you did.
00:01:11.740 You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name.
00:01:24.640 George Washington was a slave owner.
00:01:27.100 Was George Washington a slave owner?
00:01:29.480 So will George Washington now lose his status?
00:01:32.540 Are we going to take down, excuse me, are we going to take down, are we going to take down statues to George Washington?
00:01:39.100 How about Thomas Jefferson?
00:01:40.820 What do you think of Thomas Jefferson?
00:01:42.280 You like him?
00:01:43.480 Okay, good.
00:01:44.360 Are we going to take down the statue?
00:01:45.840 Because he was a major slave owner.
00:01:47.700 Now are we going to take down his statue?
00:01:49.840 So you know what?
00:01:50.880 It's fine.
00:01:51.760 You're changing history.
00:01:52.980 You're changing culture.
00:01:54.040 And you had people, and I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally.
00:02:01.060 But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists.
00:02:07.060 Five years ago, Joe Biden launched his presidential campaign, aired the very first ad of his presidential campaign on the lie concocted and propagated by the mainstream media that Trump called neo-Nazis very fine people.
00:02:21.400 We saw Klansmen and white supremacists and neo-Nazis come out in the open.
00:02:28.320 Their crazed faces, illuminated by torches, veins bulging and burying the fangs of racism, chanting the same anti-Semitic bile heard across Europe in the 30s.
00:02:40.780 And they were met by a courageous group of Americans in a violent clash in Syria.
00:02:50.440 And a brave young woman lost her life.
00:02:52.980 And that's when we heard the words of the president of the United States that stunned the world and shocked the conscience of this nation.
00:03:01.280 He said there were, quote, some very fine people on both sides.
00:03:05.760 Very fine, you're calling Nazis very fine.
00:03:12.600 Well, now, seven years after the media lied about what Trump said and five years after the media gave Biden a pass for lying about what Trump said,
00:03:20.220 at least one establishment media outlet, Snopes, is admitting that it was all, in fact, a lie.
00:03:25.360 Headline, no Trump did not call neo-Nazis and white supremacists very fine people.
00:03:30.960 Claim, on August 15th, 2017, then-President Donald Trump called neo-Nazis and white supremacists to attend the United Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
00:03:37.620 Very fine people.
00:03:39.080 Rating, false.
00:03:41.940 False.
00:03:42.580 Okay, that's it.
00:03:44.160 Not even half true, half false.
00:03:46.160 Nope, just false.
00:03:47.300 Because it was false.
00:03:48.560 Great news.
00:03:49.640 And a great sign that the media will also eventually admit that Trump did not commit felony business fraud,
00:03:56.120 did not criminally mishandle classified documents,
00:03:59.080 did not defraud the U.S. and violate the rights of citizens,
00:04:02.040 and did not commit racketeering like Al Capone.
00:04:05.040 Just be sure to check back for those admissions sometime around the year 2033.
00:04:09.880 I'm Michael Knowles.
00:04:10.560 This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:04:11.360 Thank you.
00:04:26.120 Welcome back to the show.
00:04:31.260 A man has gone viral on TikTok after a woman, just a random woman, filmed him on an airplane,
00:04:39.740 possibly cheating on his wife.
00:04:44.860 Is everyone a villain in this story?
00:04:47.400 We'll get to that important story in just a second.
00:04:49.260 First, though, the Candle Club has sold out of Sicilian Sunrise.
00:04:54.020 I'm sorry to tell you that.
00:04:55.560 I'm not really sorry.
00:04:56.520 I mean, it was a good candle.
00:04:57.680 I like that we're selling all of them.
00:04:58.800 I like that it's popular, and you're going to have your home smell like a zesty little Mezzogiorno sea breeze.
00:05:03.980 That means that if you want the other candles, you've got to get them now before they sell out.
00:05:07.920 That would include Old Soul.
00:05:10.120 That would include the Wise Man candle, which is a riff on the Lenten candle, smells and bells,
00:05:14.720 makes your home smell like a 12th century monastery.
00:05:16.940 That would mean the Mayflower line of candles in those beautiful glass jars.
00:05:20.240 And that would mean special, just for you, the Creme de la Creme candle.
00:05:26.880 Look at this beautiful thing.
00:05:28.940 Mmm, smells like a creamy little delight.
00:05:31.500 Here we are.
00:05:33.180 Light it up.
00:05:34.240 Have my studio smelling delicious.
00:05:37.680 Go add to the health and vibrancy of your home.
00:05:42.340 There's so much more to say.
00:05:43.840 First, though, go to lumen.me.
00:05:46.600 Use code Knowles.
00:05:47.840 It is difficult to prioritize your health, especially if you're not sure where to start.
00:05:52.360 Like me, I haven't worked out since either the Obama or Bush administration.
00:05:57.180 But it's not just about making a decision.
00:05:59.240 Your Creme would be healthier.
00:06:00.280 It's about making a commitment to a better quality of life.
00:06:03.440 Lumen is the world's first handheld metabolic coach.
00:06:05.820 It's a device that measures your metabolism through your breath.

00:06:13.260 whether you're burning mostly fats or carbs.
00:06:15.120 What sets lumen apart is its ability to understand you on a personal level.
00:06:19.320 I like it.
00:06:19.780 It's super high-tech.
00:06:20.880 So truly, for me, I need it to be really, really efficient and powerful, but also extremely easy to use.
00:06:28.180 And with lumen, you just blow into it.
00:06:30.020 I can then pull up my app.
00:06:31.260 I get all of that metabolic information.
00:06:33.340 It is incredibly valuable.
00:06:34.560 It's incredibly quick.
00:06:35.780 It's incredibly easy to use.

00:06:50.940 Thank you, Lumen, for sponsoring this episode.
00:06:53.020 In case the libs can't persuade people not to vote for Trump, you know, they can't make up a bunch of nonsense like the very fine people hoax.
00:07:01.040 And in case the libs can't imprison Trump before the presidential election, the libs are now threatening violence if he wins.
00:07:08.880 This through the person of Maxine Waters.
00:07:10.800 You'll remember Maxine Waters, Democrat Congress lady, famously, infamously in the early days of the Trump administration, encouraged her supporters to go harass Trump supporters in public.
00:07:22.940 And you see them, you push back on them.
00:07:25.520 You tell them they're not welcome.
00:07:27.060 You go, what, you go over to their houses.
00:07:28.500 You go over to their offices.
00:07:29.820 You go see them in public and push back on them.
00:07:32.160 So this woman's no stranger to calling for violence against conservatives.
00:07:36.800 She's doing it again.
00:07:37.460 How concerned are you, Congresswoman, about your safety if Donald Trump is reelected?
00:07:44.420 Well, I'm very concerned not only about my safety and not only about the safety of members of Congress.
00:07:50.800 I'm concerned about the safety of so many people in this country, particularly people of color.
00:07:56.920 Donald Trump has said that if he does not win, it's going to be fraud.
00:08:05.600 And because it's going to be fraud, there's going to be blood in the streets.
00:08:10.100 He threatens about a civil war and he threatens there is going to be violence.
00:08:14.560 So I say all of this talk is motivational with many of those who are racist, who are sitting at home listening to him.
00:08:22.260 And they're taking him up on his threats even before the elections take place.
00:08:27.700 Having the attack of the insurrection that took place on the House of Representatives, in Congress, on the Capitol, on the Capitol grounds that we could be in for more killings like that.
00:08:41.300 More killings like what?
00:08:43.080 Because you notice the way she's talking, she's making it seem as though the leftists are the victims.
00:08:48.880 Oh, it's we are going to be in trouble.
00:08:51.260 We, the Democrat members of Congress, we, the liberal people of color, we, the victims of the violent, awful MAGA movement.
00:09:00.560 But then she says, you're going to see more killings like you saw on January 6th.
00:09:06.280 Who was killed on January 6th?
00:09:08.600 One person was killed on January 6th in the political violence, and that would be Ashley Babbitt, a Trump supporter who was killed by a trigger-happy cop.
00:09:15.220 So, what is she really threatening here?
00:09:23.060 She's saying Donald Trump is the one threatening the leftists.
00:09:25.480 Really, it seems to me, she is threatening the conservatives.
00:09:28.200 If Trump wins, there's going to be violence.
00:09:30.440 When there has been political violence over the last five years, ten years even, who's been committing the violence?
00:09:39.300 It's the left.
00:09:40.040 Frankly, you go back a hundred years, when there's been political violence going back a hundred years,
00:09:43.520 has it been Republican on Democrat, or has it been Democrat on Republican?
00:09:48.080 Has it been right on left, or has it been left on right?
00:09:50.760 The Weather Underground, was that, that was a far right organization that was blowing up buildings, killing people?
00:09:56.320 Was that, the Black Panthers, that was a far right organization?
00:10:00.160 The Antifa, that's a far right organization.
00:10:02.940 Antifa tried to blow me up when I was in Pittsburgh.
00:10:04.660 It's all, not a hundred percent, but it's almost always the left.
00:10:11.020 And here, even as she's trying to frame it as a fear that she has that the right wing is going to attack her,
00:10:17.140 she accidentally admits where the violence is coming from.
00:10:20.140 You're going to see more killings like you saw on January 6th.
00:10:22.400 Okay, well, if we're going to see more killings like we saw on January 6th,
00:10:24.900 then we're going to see killings of right-wingers who are protesting the left-wing political establishment.
00:10:30.380 That's what we're going to see.
00:10:31.960 And ultimately, I suspect that's what she means.
00:10:34.120 BLM, that's a far right organization?
00:10:35.820 I don't think so.
00:10:37.180 It's not just happening in America.
00:10:38.560 There's a leftist politician in France who has just called to eradicate right-wing populists.
00:10:45.900 It occurs to me only now there are no subtitles there, so I'll loosely translate.
00:11:03.860 I have pretty bad French.
00:11:05.620 What she says is, if we could eradicate them, and you might have even heard it, eradicate.
00:11:10.440 Hey, if we can eradicate them, that would be great.
00:11:13.500 And then she recognizes, oh, shoot, I shouldn't have said that.
00:11:16.720 So she says, no, no, that's not a good word.
00:11:19.840 But if we could drastically reduce the score, if we could drastically reduce the victories of the far right, that would be wonderful.
00:11:29.840 So she recognizes, oh, yikes, I shouldn't have said that.
00:11:32.260 But she said what she said, if we could eradicate them.
00:11:35.380 Now, I have a little experience with the word eradicate because I gave a speech at CPAC a couple years ago in which I chose my words pretty carefully, and I was accused of genocide by the left.
00:11:46.100 But what did I say at CPAC?
00:11:47.460 At CPAC, I said, for the good of society and especially the good of these trans-identifying people, transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely, the whole ideology at every level.
00:11:59.440 So I was very clear, I pointed it out multiple times, I was talking about the eradication of an ideology, the eradication of a condition, like you would eradicate poverty or cancer or Nazism or jihadism or communism.
00:12:14.820 I made it quite clear I was not talking about the eradication of people.
00:12:20.860 This woman does exactly the opposite.
00:12:24.040 She says we need to eradicate them.
00:12:27.200 Them.
00:12:27.620 Now, when I spoke, I feel quite precisely, I was accused by Rolling Stone and the Huffington Post and the whole liberal establishment of calling for genocide.
00:12:37.260 This woman, you probably didn't even see a headline about this because this is the ordinary course of action.
00:12:43.680 And you see it again and again, prominent left-wing figures.
00:12:48.140 I remember Oprah got in trouble for saying this some years ago.
00:12:50.560 She said, you know, these people who oppose progress, they just need to die.
00:12:53.860 You know, we just got to, maybe we'll just wait for them to die naturally, but we got to just look forward to them dying so that we can have our country.
00:13:01.180 We don't need them in it because they're dead.
00:13:03.880 You hear this kind of language all the time.
00:13:07.160 They want to kill us.
00:13:09.840 I hate to say it, makes me kind of sad to say it, but they want to kill us.
00:13:13.720 Okay, and when they accuse us of wanting to kill them, that is projection.
00:13:18.840 That's like when a cheating husband suspects his wife of cheating on him without any evidence.
00:13:25.920 Why does he suspect his wife of cheating on him?
00:13:27.680 Because he has a guilty conscience, because he's projecting.
00:13:30.420 That's what the libs do.
00:13:32.040 There's going to be more political violence if Trump wins.
00:13:35.180 Why do you say that?
00:13:36.200 The Trump movement has engaged in virtually no political violence ever.
00:13:41.720 The left has been engaged in political violence almost without pause.
00:13:46.380 I mean, just BLM alone was eight months of burning the country down with the support, the vocal, rhetorical, and financial support of prominent leftists,
00:13:57.680 including the current vice president and president of the United States, at least staffers to the president of the United States.
00:14:02.460 It was eight months, dozens of people murdered, businesses burned to the ground, homes burned to the ground.
00:14:10.220 They're like the cheating husband who accuses the wife of cheating on him.
00:14:14.600 All of this talk, oh, the right wants to engage in political violence.
00:14:18.000 That is pure projection.
00:14:20.660 There's so much more to say.
00:14:21.680 First, though, go to puretalk.com slash Knowles.
00:14:24.860 I was walking the other day around a little bit of a touristy site in Nashville.
00:14:29.380 Someone comes up to me and says, Michael, love the show, daily listener.
00:14:32.960 I got to know, is Pure Talk really that good?
00:14:35.720 That was the question.
00:14:36.480 I said, I can assure you, I can promise you with 100% certainty, Pure Talk is even better than you think it is.
00:14:43.200 For years, people have been switching their wireless service to Pure Talk to save money.
00:14:47.220 $20 a month for unlimited talk, unlimited text, tons of data.
00:14:51.780 It's a no-brainer.
00:14:52.440 Over the last few weeks, Pure Talk has reported a surge of new customers signing up to help them support a charity that is near and dear to their and our hearts, America's Warrior Partnership.
00:15:02.480 Many of my own listeners have chosen to step away from Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile to switch to Pure Talk and help this great charity get to do business with a company that shares your values.
00:15:12.820 That is why Pure Talk has decided to extend their support for AWP through Independence Day.
00:15:16.840 From now through July 4th weekend, Pure Talk will match every dollar donated.
00:15:21.480 Switch your cell phone service to America's most dependable 5G network with Pure Talk.
00:15:26.460 Go to puretalk.com slash Knowles to start saving on wireless today.
00:15:30.140 That is puretalk.com slash K-N-A-W-L-E-S.
00:15:34.200 Speaking of cheating husbands, a man has gone viral, and I guess his paramour, his mistress, has gone viral too.
00:15:42.440 After a woman on an airplane, who was sitting two rows ahead of them, starts filming a little bit herself, but she's really trying to just film the guy and the woman behind her.
00:15:56.840 You can see I'm blurring out the guy's face and the mistress's face because this seems pretty disordered.
00:16:05.360 We'll get into what's going on here in a second.
00:16:07.780 The woman writes in the comment of her video,
00:16:10.920 If this man is your husband flying United Airlines flight such and such from Houston to New York, he's probably going to be staying with Katie tonight.
00:16:19.460 I shouldn't have said the name.
00:16:20.720 Him and Katie met, him and Katie, so, you know, it should be he.
00:16:25.740 It should be in the nominative, not the accusative, but obviously this woman who's filming this has a couple of screws loose.
00:16:30.880 Him and Katie met at the airport bar and haven't left each other's side since then.
00:16:34.320 He convinced her to change her seat so she could sit next to him and they could drink.
00:16:37.980 I don't know his name, but know hers because he keeps saying it.
00:16:41.440 He's also said his eight-year-old daughter danced for the Astros opening night.
00:16:45.060 He's from this town in Texas, says he's a surfer, got a new surfboard, supposedly president of the company he works for and flying to New York for business.
00:16:52.200 I wouldn't have known he was married if he hadn't been wearing his wedding ring.
00:16:54.820 Excuse me, rubbing my eye.
00:16:55.800 I didn't know what else to do to self-record.
00:16:57.440 Ha ha.
00:16:58.440 Ha ha face.
00:16:59.600 Do your thing, TikTok.
00:17:00.620 Hashtag find the wife.
00:17:02.480 Then, this woman posts a follow-up video update.
00:17:05.580 They were making out and ended up in the bathroom together.
00:17:10.400 What a psycho this woman is.
00:17:12.480 Put aside the guy and the mistress.
00:17:13.960 We'll get to him in a second.
00:17:14.940 What a complete psycho this woman is on the airplane.
00:17:19.320 Would it ever occur to you, first of all, to mind people's business this much?
00:17:24.220 Would it ever, you're sitting on an airplane.
00:17:25.760 I don't care if someone starts jumping up and doing jumping jacks in the aisle.
00:17:30.360 I'm pretty much going to ignore them, and I'm going to sit there, and I'm going to have my drink, and I'm going to read my book or do my work, and maybe I'll eat some peanuts.
00:17:40.080 What kind of a woman involved, what kind of a gossipy, wicked woman involves herself so much in other people's private affairs?
00:17:49.300 Affairs, I guess, pun unintended there.
00:17:51.980 Whatever this man has done to harm the institution of marriage, this woman is doing much more.
00:18:01.260 This is really totally inexcusable.
00:18:04.260 What could this possibly accomplish?
00:18:06.620 First of all, maybe the guy's cheating on his wife.
00:18:09.380 Maybe he's not.
00:18:09.880 I don't know.
00:18:11.520 Maybe the guy's, maybe, I guess he's married, is wearing a wedding ring.
00:18:16.660 Maybe he's a widower.
00:18:19.100 Maybe his wife just died.
00:18:20.580 Maybe that's not likely.
00:18:21.500 Maybe it is.
00:18:22.300 He's still wearing the wedding ring.
00:18:23.480 Maybe he's divorced.
00:18:26.580 I don't support divorce, but maybe that's the situation.
00:18:30.700 Maybe this is some weird role-playing fantasy that a man and his wife have on an airplane.
00:18:34.900 I don't know.
00:18:35.500 People do weird stuff.
00:18:38.680 But how on earth could you involve yourself in another man's marriage this way?
00:18:42.220 And then to go on and say, find that wife.
00:18:45.780 Find that wife, what?
00:18:46.460 So you can humiliate a jilted woman?
00:18:48.140 Oh, that's a good.
00:18:49.120 Hey, here's info about his daughter, his underage daughter.
00:18:52.300 And here's what he looks like.
00:18:53.700 And let's make him go famous.
00:18:54.680 And let's totally humiliate his wife.
00:18:57.520 Girl power.
00:18:58.480 Why?
00:18:59.060 So that this woman can feel virtuous or get some more clicks, get some more likes on TikTok.
00:19:05.720 It's just so wrong.
00:19:06.900 You know, I had this long debate with Pearl Davis of the kind of red pill community.
00:19:14.940 I guess she's sort of in the red pill community.
00:19:16.760 I don't know.
00:19:17.120 You know, her shtick is she just attacks women all the time.
00:19:20.060 And, but I said, look, I think marriage is indissoluble.
00:19:25.480 I think what God has joined, no man can separate.
00:19:27.960 So she said, well, no, you need prenups.
00:19:30.060 Men shouldn't get married.
00:19:31.360 They, you know, divorce is acceptable.
00:19:33.380 And if a woman cheats, divorce is acceptable.
00:19:36.400 And she kind of mocked me for saying that, no, I really don't think there's any excuse for divorce.
00:19:42.680 And she mocked me as being too soft on women or something.
00:19:46.140 But I'll defend the men just as much as I'll defend the women.
00:19:50.420 And because really I'm not defending a man or a woman.
00:19:52.320 I'm defending the institution of marriage, which is a natural institution.
00:19:54.900 And in my view, a sacramental institution.
00:19:58.160 And it's the building block of society.
00:20:00.780 So this doesn't, let's say this guy is a cheater.
00:20:02.720 Maybe he's a cheater.
00:20:03.760 Maybe he's an adulterer.
00:20:05.600 That's awful.
00:20:06.280 It's terribly sinful.
00:20:07.700 He, he should make it up to his wife if he possibly can.
00:20:11.080 He should go to confession.
00:20:11.940 He should work on himself.
00:20:12.840 He should remove himself from the near occasion of sin.
00:20:15.700 He should, you know, I'm not excusing any of it.
00:20:17.240 It's just really awful to cut at, cut at the fidelity, which lies, you know, at the heart of a marriage.
00:20:24.580 But it's a marriage.
00:20:26.680 It's the building block of society.
00:20:28.000 If we're not going to respect that, we're not going to respect, respect any of our political institutions.
00:20:34.680 There's going to just be total instability.
00:20:38.340 This woman, I guess what's so offensive about this video to me is this woman is pretending as though she is defending marriage.
00:20:47.380 She's not, she's, she is trying to destroy this guy's marriage and humiliate his wife so that she, some individual woman, some prideful individual woman can get more clicks on TikTok.
00:21:01.680 Not good.
00:21:02.560 Got to defend marriage.
00:21:03.600 We got to consistently defend marriage.
00:21:05.460 This ain't it, man.
00:21:06.540 Now, speaking of romances that are fascinating the public, Bill Belichick, former coach for the New England Patriots, has been caught on camera.
00:21:17.200 I'm not telling tales out of school.
00:21:18.620 This has been widely reported.
00:21:19.940 He was caught on camera leaving someone's home, and people were making jokes about this at the Tom Brady roast.
00:21:24.100 We now know he was leaving the home of a 24-year-old former cheerleader who apparently is his girlfriend.
00:21:32.320 Bill Belichick is 72 years old.
00:21:34.920 The cheerleader, 24 years old.
00:21:37.760 I know there are going to be, there's going to be some portion of guys in the audience whose response to this story will be nice.
00:21:46.980 Yeah, Bill.
00:21:47.940 But there are going to be a lot of people who are kind of laughing about this, who are either disgusted by this, or find it very funny and ridiculous, or find it both disgusting and ridiculous, and will laugh but also recoil at the story.
00:22:02.380 Now, this gal, I also won't say her name.
00:22:05.740 It's reported, I guess, she previously dated a 64-year-old, so, you know, she has a type.
00:22:11.460 She has a type, and who knows how she developed that type, and probably not the most normally ordered thing, but okay, fine.
00:22:19.920 I don't even want to talk about Belichick or his girlfriend, or I don't mean any shade to Bill Belichick.
00:22:24.820 He's a very talented coach.
00:22:26.540 The reason the story interests me is because it shows you the inescapability of the moral order.
00:22:34.620 This guy has everything.
00:22:36.360 He is one of the winningest coaches in the history of sports.
00:22:41.040 He's rich.
00:22:42.020 He's famous.
00:22:43.080 He's a cool guy.
00:22:44.120 He's got all these accomplishments, and now he's the butt of jokes.
00:22:47.500 And he's the butt of jokes specifically because he's doing something that in his own mind makes him really cool.
00:22:54.540 He's the butt of jokes because he's getting so much pleasure.
00:22:58.760 He's the butt of jokes because he's indulging himself so much.
00:23:01.220 It's not even like he got caught doing something that is broadly considered, you know, I don't know, disgusting or degrading.
00:23:12.480 He got caught doing something that's so indulgent, that's so decadent, that it diminishes him, and it makes him look ridiculous.
00:23:20.520 There's no way for a 72-year-old guy to be dating a 24-year-old girl.
00:23:24.260 No matter how cool that guy is or accomplished or whatever, there's no way.
00:23:27.720 You see those two out on a dinner date, and you're going to laugh.
00:23:30.940 You're going to feel sorry for both parties involved.
00:23:34.180 People are still making fun of him.
00:23:36.800 You can have it all.
00:23:37.440 You can have money.
00:23:37.960 You can have fame.
00:23:38.440 You can have accomplishments.
00:23:39.720 You can't escape the moral order.
00:23:42.540 It's going to be there.
00:23:43.940 People think, oh, well, now that I've made X amount of money, I can get away with this.
00:23:47.600 Now that I'm this famous, I can get away with that.
00:23:49.500 You can't.
00:23:50.360 You can't.
00:23:50.800 The moral order is there whether you want to acknowledge it or not.
00:23:55.260 Now, speaking of disorder that then became ordered romantic relationships, you've got
00:24:02.520 to check out my sit-down on Mike Land with Lex and Nick Rennick.
00:24:07.800 Check out the teaser.
00:24:08.800 You identified as a man on hormones.
00:24:12.160 You, Nick, identified as a homosexual.
00:24:14.920 So you got...
00:24:16.300 Gay married.
00:24:16.800 Yeah, because we truly didn't think that the way that we were living was wrong.
00:24:22.720 You came out as a lesbian, not as a transgender.
00:24:24.680 Originally, at first, yes.
00:24:26.180 My own mother looked me in the eye and said, if I would have known that you were going to
00:24:29.680 be my child, I would have aborted you.
00:24:31.860 I go over to my mom and she's pouring her glass of wine and I say it.
00:24:35.620 I finally get it out of my mouth.
00:24:37.400 And she says, that's why you're a freak.
00:24:39.800 It was like my innocence was ripped away.
00:24:43.400 All this confusion came in.
00:24:45.220 I feel for every teen boy that is struggling with all of these emotions and feelings and
00:24:51.440 desires.
00:24:52.100 So I fell on my face and I just cried out to God and I said, make me sexually attracted
00:24:56.340 to a man.
00:24:57.120 You both acknowledge the desire is real, so do you still have the desires?
00:25:00.020 Watch the episode now on the Michael Knowles YouTube channel.
00:25:10.720 Be sure to watch the uncensored versions on Spotify and ad-free on Daily Wire+.
00:25:16.160 A lot of this LGBT stuff spreads through social media as a kind of social contagion.
00:25:23.640 That's why the LGBT identification among Zoomers has reached 30% right now.
00:25:28.680 That's why it tripled within five years.
00:25:32.240 It's either, you know, there's chemicals in the water turning the frogs gay, which actually
00:25:35.700 there are those two, or it's a social contagion.
00:25:38.240 So this then calls our attention to a study.
00:25:41.200 A new study just came out on how young people are processing information online because it's
00:25:45.600 different from the way that older people, boomers, Gen X, maybe even millennials are processing
00:25:51.380 information online.
00:25:52.820 There's a report on this in Business Insider.
00:25:54.800 It's based on a study done by Jigsaw, which is a subsidiary company of Google.
00:25:59.980 Here is what the CEO of Jigsaw said.
00:26:02.280 Within a week of actual research, we threw out the term information literacy.
00:26:07.440 So this idea of how do you know to process information?
00:26:12.760 How do you sift between what kind of information is valuable and valid and what is false and worthless?
00:26:18.320 They use that term information literacy.
00:26:21.560 Well, the term doesn't even really apply to Zoomers.
00:26:25.120 Why?
00:26:26.500 Because, according to Jigsaw, Zoomers are not on a linear journey to evaluate the veracity
00:26:33.000 of anything.
00:26:33.900 Instead, they're engaged in information sensibility, a socially informed practice that relies on
00:26:42.460 folk heuristics of credibility, you know, rules of thumb, interpretive principles to figure
00:26:47.940 out credibility.
00:26:49.580 So lots of science-y jargon to get at what?
00:26:53.840 What are they trying to say?
00:26:55.400 What Jigsaw is discovering is that Zoomers are taking in information and determining its
00:27:02.900 credibility based on the comments.
00:27:06.160 They're going to jump straight to the comments section, and they're going to see what people
00:27:11.720 are saying.
00:27:12.220 Because in the comments section, we have what is sometimes referred to as weaponized autism.
00:27:17.660 You have people with extreme skill or technical expertise or just a lot of time on their hands
00:27:26.600 and a nerdy kind of instinct to go look up all this information.
00:27:29.540 And so if there is something false in an article, it'll be debunked in the comments section right
00:27:34.180 away, and we expect the algorithm to bump up those comments that are so incisive.
00:27:38.980 We expect to see those at the top.
00:27:40.480 And so Zoomers, according to Jigsaw, they're going to read the headline.
00:27:44.560 They're not going to read all or even most of the article.
00:27:48.220 They're not going to then go look in an encyclopedia to verify the information that they read in
00:27:54.100 the article.
00:27:54.440 No, they're going to jump to the comments.
00:27:55.640 They're going to outsource the fact-checking and the verification to random people on the internet.
00:28:02.120 And they're going to trust that the random people on the internet are going to do the
00:28:06.060 fact-checking for them, and it's going to be pretty reliable.
00:28:08.040 Okay.
00:28:09.040 Why is that?
00:28:11.600 According to this study, the old guard is like, yeah, but you have to care ultimately about
00:28:19.720 the truth.
00:28:20.500 The Gen Z take is, you can tell me your truth and what you think is important.
00:28:25.400 You don't, what about the truth?
00:28:26.400 You just tell me your truth.
00:28:27.420 And that's why we're going to farm it out to all these different individuals.
00:28:30.400 And the study seems to be lamenting the fact that Zoomers think this way.
00:28:34.000 I don't know why they're lamenting that.
00:28:35.340 This is how Zoomers have been taught.
00:28:36.920 Zoomers from preschool have been taught that there's no such thing as the truth.
00:28:41.440 There's only your truth and there's my truth.
00:28:43.060 And truth is kind of whatever you want it to be, man.
00:28:44.880 They've been taught that reason is unreliable.
00:28:46.820 They've been taught to defer not to tradition, which is what I think is a sensible thing to do
00:28:51.720 when we recognize we all have a relatively small portion of reason in our brains.
00:28:55.160 No, no, no.
00:28:56.200 They've been taught to defer then to the irrational will, whatever you want.
00:29:00.640 If today you want to be a woman, if tomorrow you want to be a dinosaur, well, you just are
00:29:04.100 that thing.
00:29:04.720 And everyone has to acquiesce to the tyranny of your will.
00:29:09.260 And that's going to supplant the truth.
00:29:11.860 That's going to become your truth because you're going to club people in the head if they
00:29:14.680 don't go along with your supposed truth.
00:29:17.080 So this is how Zoomers have been taught.
00:29:18.820 And now Zoomers are thinking and acting in a way that is in accord with what they've been
00:29:22.920 taught since they were in diapers.
00:29:24.620 Yeah, there's no surprise there.
00:29:26.220 And furthermore, this folk heuristic of credibility, namely listening to what the people you trust
00:29:34.060 say about it, is not the worst idea.
00:29:37.660 That's actually a pretty smart heuristic.
00:29:40.260 Like, one, you don't have time to go through all the scientific and philosophical papers
00:29:46.900 to analyze and examine every single article you read.
00:29:50.900 But two, we know that the so-called, you know, credible establishment news sources are
00:29:56.120 totally full of it.
00:29:57.060 And they push lies, like the lie that Donald Trump called Nazis fine people in Charlottesville.
00:30:01.120 And they push them for seven years before they ever even admit, okay, maybe we lied about
00:30:04.540 that.
00:30:04.760 So the fact that Zoomers don't believe the established credible sources, like the mainstream
00:30:10.680 media, like what, the guys in the scientific lab coats, like Dr. Fauci, who told us if you
00:30:14.960 take the vaccine for COVID, you're not going to catch COVID.
00:30:18.100 Actually, whoops, you'll catch it, but you won't spread it.
00:30:21.280 Actually, whoops, you will spread it, but you know, it'll be a little better or whatever.
00:30:24.780 Anyway, stop asking me questions.
00:30:26.020 Put on your mask.
00:30:26.860 Yeah, they don't trust the scientific authorities.
00:30:28.700 Sure, because they've tarnished their own credibility.
00:30:32.620 So now they're going to trust the people that they follow, the influencers and their friends
00:30:39.540 and their networks, to do some of that work for them.
00:30:42.360 And frankly, that would be a pretty good idea, except for one other fact, this also from
00:30:50.520 a viral video on social media yesterday.
00:30:54.400 The comments that you're seeing at the top of the comment section probably look different
00:31:00.440 from the comments at the top of the section that other people are seeing.
00:31:04.160 I opened the comments of this video and kind of as I expected, everyone was saying, oh,
00:31:09.020 that's really rude.
00:31:09.760 It's the disregard of her time.
00:31:11.040 I don't like him.
00:31:12.980 Did he communicate with you?
00:31:14.200 If not, then that's a red flag.
00:31:15.460 Okay, fair enough.
00:31:17.200 You know, I send this video to my boyfriend who was sat next to me.
00:31:20.960 And then I said to my boyfriend, lol, look at the comments.
00:31:24.220 Bear in mind, these comments were coming up at the top of the list.
00:31:26.960 So as soon as you open the comments, these are the ones that came up for me.
00:31:29.360 Tell me why my boyfriend opens the comments on his phone.
00:31:34.260 Again, it's the first list of comments that come up.
00:31:36.800 It's the same time on the same video.
00:31:40.240 Or you get your own hobby instead of waiting around for him.
00:31:43.160 Like, God forbid, he has a good time.
00:31:45.400 He meant before 3am.
00:31:46.480 He's ahead of schedule.
00:31:49.420 No wonder we're all so divided when you can look at the same comments on the same video
00:31:54.060 and it'll change them based on who you are.
00:31:56.580 And I presume based on like other activity in the app.
00:31:58.660 Okay, so the girl looks at it and all the comments say the guy's bad and the girl's right.
00:32:04.020 The guy looks at it and all the comments say the guy's right and the girl's wrong.
00:32:08.380 We're getting different top comments.
00:32:10.520 Right, right.
00:32:12.320 She's lamenting.
00:32:13.260 She's saying because we don't have any common public space anymore, we're all divided and
00:32:18.140 this is a big problem.
00:32:19.060 I agree.
00:32:20.460 I agree.
00:32:20.960 That is a big problem.
00:32:24.440 However, this is also smart business.
00:32:26.840 If you're the one making these apps and these platforms, yeah, you want to serve people comments
00:32:32.820 that they're going to enjoy, that they're going to like seeing, that are going to go along with
00:32:38.340 what they believe.
00:32:39.080 So, we think of this as brave new world.
00:32:42.820 We're all locked in our own little echo chambers.
00:32:44.740 We have no idea how to talk to each other anymore.
00:32:46.480 We're living in totally disparate realities.
00:32:48.600 Okay, yeah, there's some truth to that.
00:32:50.680 But this also reinforces some old wisdom, which is be careful who you surround yourself with.
00:32:59.100 That's really what it reinforces, right?
00:33:03.900 If you surround yourself in real life with druggies and losers and people who are ne'er-do-wells
00:33:14.720 who are harming themselves, well, you're probably going to engage in that behavior too.
00:33:19.140 If, however, you surround yourself with people who are diligent, who are virtuous, who are pious
00:33:25.680 perhaps, who are trying to better themselves, then they're probably going to pull you up a little
00:33:30.780 bit.
00:33:31.000 You're probably going to engage in those behaviors too because we're mimetic and we imitate each
00:33:34.740 other's behaviors and speech and desires.
00:33:37.320 So, we know that's true in real life.
00:33:39.520 There's a common saying that you're the average of the five people you spend the most time with.
00:33:44.400 That's going to dictate your behavior and your speech and your desire even where you want
00:33:49.500 to go in life.
00:33:50.500 So, why wouldn't that be true online?
00:33:52.040 If we're spending now an increasing amount of time online on these apps, doom scrolling
00:33:56.360 in the comment section, wouldn't the same principle hold true?
00:34:01.960 You're the average of the people you spend the most time with.
00:34:04.620 So, if you're following people who are not credible, who are provocative or dishonest or
00:34:12.140 treacherous or whatever, you might end up that way too.
00:34:15.840 You got to be very careful who you follow on social media.
00:34:19.120 Now, is this ideal?
00:34:23.060 No, this is not ideal.
00:34:24.340 For me, when I want to figure out if something is true or false, do you know what I do?
00:34:28.680 It's not that I go to the old encyclopedia.
00:34:31.320 Sometimes I'll go to an encyclopedia.
00:34:33.200 Often I will go to, if it's an ethical question, a philosophical question, certainly a religious
00:34:38.180 question, I'll just Google such and such question, Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiae.
00:34:43.120 Or maybe if it's a philosophical question, I'll say such and such question, Aristotle.
00:34:48.020 Or such and such question, I don't know.
00:34:51.780 Dante.
00:34:52.820 Maybe St. Augustine.
00:34:54.160 I don't know.
00:34:54.680 You know, I'll pull up some whoever.
00:34:56.980 If it's an historical question, I'll go to trusted historians.
00:35:00.840 But that's the same principle, isn't it?
00:35:05.140 I'm just surrounding myself with a small group of people.
00:35:08.260 I'm not going to follow everyone.
00:35:09.280 I don't know every figure in intellectual history.
00:35:11.660 I don't.
00:35:12.280 No one does.
00:35:12.980 And I certainly don't because I'm relatively poorly educated.
00:35:16.460 So I don't know.
00:35:17.360 Ain't no one got time for that.
00:35:18.460 I've got to make videos reacting to TikToks, you know?
00:35:20.460 So I surround myself with the five people that I think are credible.
00:35:25.840 And then I look to them for guidance, much as we all do on social media.
00:35:31.180 It's good to do that.
00:35:31.860 Just make sure you're cultivating a circle that's going to lead you in the right direction
00:35:34.740 and not going to lead you down a bad path where you don't even know, where you're not
00:35:41.720 even aware of who is putting the ideas in your head and the desires in your heart that
00:35:48.300 are increasingly present there.
00:35:49.640 Now, speaking of techno-dystopias, there is a new video going around based on a proposal
00:35:57.940 by a scientist, Hashem al-Ghali, which seeks to totally upend prisons, redo prisons as we
00:36:06.280 know them.
00:36:07.720 The new concept is that we shouldn't lock people up for years, dozens of years at a
00:36:12.460 time.
00:36:13.460 But actually, we can just kind of plug them into the matrix for a few minutes, rejigger
00:36:18.220 their brains, and then let them out two minutes after they've been sentenced.
00:36:21.460 First, the prisoner is given a choice, either spending tens of years in a prison cell or
00:36:27.560 seeking fast-track rehabilitation through artificial memory implantation.
00:36:31.560 If the prisoner chooses to undergo fast-track rehabilitation, the Cognify device is used.
00:36:37.860 Next, the prisoner undergoes high-resolution brain scanning to create a detailed map of their
00:36:42.820 neural pathways.
00:36:43.680 This brain map helps guide the Cognify device to target specific brain regions responsible
00:36:49.640 for memory, reasoning, and logical thinking, such as the hippocampus, prefrontal cortex,
00:36:55.560 amygdala, parietal lobe, and anterior cingulate cortex.
00:37:00.360 Once the target brain regions are identified, Cognify is then placed around the head of the
00:37:04.760 prisoner.
00:37:05.760 The intensity and the type of artificial memories is then adjusted, depending on the crime.
00:37:11.320 Inside the criminal's mind, time would pass differently, slower than in real life, making
00:37:16.380 them experience years' worth of artificial memories in just a few minutes.
00:37:21.040 Synthetic memories are customized, depending on the crime committed and the unique brain
00:37:25.620 structure and psychological profile of the individual.
00:37:30.860 What?
00:37:32.700 No thank you.
00:37:33.880 No thanks.
00:37:34.440 That's fine.
00:37:35.940 Some people would take this.
00:37:37.280 In fact, I bet most people, in principle, if this technology really could work, would
00:37:42.340 take this.
00:37:42.820 You say, oh, I would either spend 30 years in prison, or I spend three minutes in prison.
00:37:46.960 But I guess it sort of feels like 30 years in prison, but then I'll still have the rest
00:37:49.940 of my life.
00:37:50.880 And yeah, I've got some fake memories in there, and maybe it's rejiggered my, well, the point
00:37:54.820 of it would be to rejigger my desires and remake my personality.
00:37:59.180 So part of the proposal here is you would send reports to the family of the criminals so
00:38:05.040 that they would know, okay, this is the new personality that you're, but you know, you
00:38:08.360 go to prison, you come out of prison with a new personality.
00:38:10.880 So you're just going to shorten that time span, and then you get the rest of your life.
00:38:15.660 This is, of course, an assault on the incarnation, lowercase i incarnation.
00:38:22.160 It's an assault, not the capital I incarnation of our Lord, though that's related to it, but
00:38:26.420 it's an assault on the fact that we're incarnate beings.
00:38:30.020 It's an assault on history.
00:38:31.580 It's an assault on contingent reality.
00:38:33.400 It's an assault on time.
00:38:36.060 But it's important that this is an assault on the body.
00:38:40.280 You know, you don't, no, you don't really need to go turn big rocks into small rocks.
00:38:43.080 You don't really need to spend every night, 365 days a year for 30 years in that prison
00:38:48.100 cell.
00:38:48.440 No, you don't really need to do anything with your body.
00:38:50.060 We'll just kind of flash some pictures in front of your eyeballs, and then you'll think
00:38:53.660 that you did all that.
00:38:55.260 That's the matrix, right?
00:38:56.140 It says your body doesn't matter.
00:38:57.300 Your body can be used for whatever purpose.
00:38:59.180 Your true self is not your body.
00:39:00.540 It's an assault on the incarnation, which, according to Pius' tradition, is the impulse
00:39:06.240 that caused Satan's rebellion.
00:39:08.240 Satan, an angel, pure light, the most beautiful angel, pure intellect, rather, doesn't want
00:39:14.120 to have to degrade himself to be below an animal, or a creature, rather, that is part
00:39:21.620 animal and part spirit, because that's where man is.
00:39:23.940 We share some characteristics with the beasts, but we share some characteristics with the
00:39:27.900 angels, because we're body and we're soul, mind.
00:39:31.460 And so, Satan, according to Pius' tradition, seeing the future of the incarnation that our
00:39:35.920 Lord, the second person of the Trinity, would take on flesh, this was too much.
00:39:39.720 He can't worship and end up being below a creature that he thinks should be below him.
00:39:46.680 The body is the problem, so much so that Tertullian, the early Christian writer, says that the flesh
00:39:51.680 is the very hinge of salvation.
00:39:54.580 That's what this is an assault on.
00:39:56.800 That's what transhumanism is largely about, overcoming the body, which is to say overcoming
00:40:01.820 the contingent, decaying, corruptible aspects of this world.
00:40:07.040 It's downright Pelagian.
00:40:09.760 The whole transhumanist project is to say, we will save ourselves.
00:40:13.780 It's a new version of the Tower of Babel.
00:40:16.640 This time, though, it's going to be like the weird cyborg pod building of Babel, and probably
00:40:22.280 even more ghastly than the first one.
00:40:24.920 My friends, tomorrow night, we are hosting a special live Daily Wire backstage of the
00:40:29.960 presidential debate.
00:40:30.900 Daily Wire Plus will simulcast the entire debate.
00:40:33.100 We're providing commentary you won't find anywhere else, because we won't be on those other channels.
00:40:37.800 So, of course, our commentary is going to be where we are.
00:40:41.020 You'll hear from Ben Shapiro, eh, Matt Walsh, whatever, Andrew Klavan, okay, Jeremy Boring, eh,
00:40:47.340 and, of course, yours truly.
00:40:50.220 Ooh, that's going to be nice.
00:40:51.440 Offering real-time analysis starts at 8.30 p.m. Eastern with a pre-show to set the stage
00:40:55.900 and highlight what matters in this debate.
00:40:57.340 After the debate, stick around for our exclusive post-show.
00:41:01.160 Do not miss Daily Wire backstage, live on Daily Wire Plus tomorrow night, starting at 8.30 p.m. Eastern,
00:41:05.420 dailywire.com.
00:41:09.220 My favorite comment yesterday is from Aaron Dennis, 1111, who says,
00:41:14.680 Assange is not a hero or a villain.
00:41:17.020 He's just a person who did what he thought was right.
00:41:18.920 I don't know if it was or not.
00:41:20.880 That is the least satisfying and most accurate description I have heard of the release of Julian Assange.
00:41:30.020 Many people who are celebrating Assange's release today would have been furious about it 20 years ago and vice versa.
00:41:40.620 It's a complex issue, as I tried to point out on my show yesterday.
00:41:44.440 But nuance, complexity, ambiguity, shades of gray, they don't play very well in talking point politics.
00:41:53.520 No siree.
00:41:55.060 Okay, speaking of our brave new world, this is a story I've been meaning to get to for some days now.
00:41:59.640 And I have to get to because I want to spike the football on it a little bit.
00:42:03.700 Vegan fake meat has been linked to early death.
00:42:08.460 You know I hate to say I told you so, but sometimes I told you so.
00:42:13.380 Researchers from the University of Sao Paulo and Imperial College London have assessed diets of more than 118,000 Brits,
00:42:19.700 ages 40 to 69, they found that a plant-based eating plan does promote overall heart health, okay?
00:42:28.320 However, that is only when the diet features fresh foods.
00:42:35.400 You know, the plant-based foods and your veggies and your fruits and your whole grains and beans and whatever.
00:42:43.380 Beans which are good for your heart, but there's a problem with that.
00:42:45.940 We don't need to get into it.
00:42:46.860 Researchers found that for every 10% increase in plant-based foods, the risk of death from heart disease fell by 20%.
00:42:55.640 So that's good.
00:42:56.340 However, here's the wrinkle.
00:42:59.300 When the increase in plant-based foods came from the ultra-processed foods that are like the vegan fake meat,
00:43:04.940 all the weird pre-packaged stuff you see in the vegan aisle,
00:43:09.100 then the risk of heart disease not only didn't decrease, it actually increased 12%.
00:43:13.800 Love this.
00:43:17.800 I don't love that people are dying of heart disease, but I love this because I've always been skeptical of the fake meat.
00:43:24.800 No, you know, actually, you know what we're going to do in the future?
00:43:27.440 We're not going to have to kill animals because we're just going to have Bill Gates develop some disgusting-looking,
00:43:33.620 soggy meat, fake meat product in a laboratory somewhere, and then we're all going to eat that.
00:43:37.780 It's going to be great.
00:43:38.400 I thought, no, the reason I don't think that's a great idea, the reason that if you offered me, same price, same convenience,
00:43:46.800 you offered me something fresh from a farm or something that was super-duper ultra-processed,
00:43:50.780 the reason I would always take the thing fresh from the farm is a simple question.
00:43:56.780 Who's a better engineer, you or God?
00:43:58.800 Who do you think has better engineered the human body and the things that go into and out of the human body?
00:44:07.960 You or God?
00:44:09.620 Or if you're an atheist, then, you know, I don't know, the impersonal forces of nature that developed, you know,
00:44:14.440 totally randomly over zillions of years, whatever you want to say, whatever fake substitute you have for God,
00:44:19.920 let's just, let's say it's that, even if you believe in that thing, even according to pure materialism,
00:44:28.840 pure natural impersonal evolutionary forces, surely that would be a better engineer than Bill Gates in a lab coat
00:44:35.920 making you disgusting vegan meat, right?
00:44:38.680 Right.
00:44:39.580 And now, now, it seems that that's the case.
00:44:44.220 Either from, you know, from all eternity, your body has been made for these things,
00:44:48.480 these kinds of things, you know, plants and whatever, bacon, or I don't know, you know, kind of more natural foods.
00:44:54.920 Or, your body for zillions of years has evolved in this very specific way in accordance with this kind of nature.
00:45:02.760 And so, but either way, that's going to be way more precise than what some human beings take into their own hands
00:45:07.840 when they think that they can be gods and rewrite all of creation.
00:45:10.800 Now, speaking of death, I want to turn to a political death.
00:45:14.400 Not a biological death, but a political death.
00:45:16.520 Jamal Bowman has been booted out of Congress pretty dramatically.
00:45:23.240 It wasn't particularly close.
00:45:25.800 Jamal Bowman is a huge lib.
00:45:28.480 He behaves in a rather uncivilized way.
00:45:32.980 Jamal Bowman, you might recall, once accused me of being a Nazi hellbent on keeping only white men alive and in power.
00:45:41.060 He did this as a sitting member of Congress.
00:45:44.580 He soon will not be a sitting member of Congress.
00:45:46.200 But he did this because I said boys and girls are different, you know, and we shouldn't pretend otherwise.
00:45:50.520 And so, he called me a Nazi hellbent on keeping only white men alive and in power.
00:45:56.200 I'm not sure where he got that from.
00:45:57.520 Someone pointed out, I'm not even all that white.
00:45:59.680 You know, the children of the Mezzogiorno have always been a little bit of a racially liminal people.
00:46:03.880 But even if I, you know, didn't get tan in the summer, where he got that idea from, I don't know.
00:46:10.680 There's a little extra irony to Jamal Bowman's political demise, which is that, look, he was going to lose.
00:46:17.860 He's been cratering for a while now because he's rather eccentric and disreputable and people don't want to be represented by him.
00:46:28.160 But because he took a really strong stance against Israel, that also attracted the pro-Israel constituencies and AIPAC, the pro-Israel lobby, which spent a lot of money to boot this guy out of Congress.
00:46:40.440 So, I just, I am kind of tickled that a guy who would use Nazi as a term of derision and attack me as a Nazi, it's like the worst thing you'd call someone, would be booted out of Congress in some part thanks to the pro-Israel lobby.
00:46:57.640 That's kind of, there's something kind of funny about that, isn't it?
00:46:59.620 Okay.
00:46:59.960 Well, anyway, I don't want to spike the football too much, but Jamal, we hardly knew y'all, but you're out of Congress now.
00:47:07.080 Okay.
00:47:08.820 Yes, that, I know correlation is not causation, but you call me a Nazi and attack me, you get kicked out of Congress very quickly thereafter.
00:47:19.440 I don't know, they just seem, there's, I'm not saying there's a connection there, but that's interesting.
00:47:24.780 Also, some really good news, have to mention it before we get into the member of segmentum, I have a special guest too.
00:47:29.860 My friend, Lauren Boebert, member of Congress in Colorado, was, you know, the Democrats were going after her.
00:47:37.940 She was one of their top targets in her district.
00:47:39.900 She changed districts.
00:47:42.500 And so, some people said, oh, this is a political Hail Mary.
00:47:44.940 I don't know if this is going to work.
00:47:46.000 I don't know if the new district is going to want her.
00:47:47.480 Anyway, she won easily in her district.
00:47:49.940 So, now we have a very reliable conservative vote there.
00:47:54.120 Very excited.
00:47:55.220 Congratulations to Lauren.
00:47:57.520 Congratulations to the conservatives and the Republicans.
00:48:01.080 You get a particularly bad guy out of Congress.
00:48:04.540 You get a strong conservative, remains in Congress, even after Democrats were trying to take her out.
00:48:10.560 Makes me feel pretty good going into the debate on Thursday, going into the Republican National Convention, and going into the elections in November.
00:48:17.440 The rest of the show continues now.
