The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1556 - DNC Day 1 Summarized In 5 Mins

00:00:00.000 day one of the democrat national convention is in the books and this was a dnc day one for the books

00:00:06.980 because the convention opened with a call literally to give away the country we're gonna

00:00:14.400 jump right into the land acknowledgement um uh the democratic national committee wishes to

00:00:20.600 acknowledge that we gather together to state our values on lands that have been stewarded through

00:00:25.640 many centuries by the ancestors and descendants of tribal nations who have been here since time

00:00:32.800 immemorial we honor the communities native to this continent and recognize that our country was built

00:00:39.720 on indigenous homelands we pay our respects to the millions of indigenous people throughout history

00:00:45.940 who have protected our lands waters and animals while we meet in chicago we also recognize and

00:00:53.360 honor the traditional homelands of the anishinaabe also known as the council of the three fires

00:00:59.000 ojibwe ottawa and potawatomi nations we acknowledge the many other tribes who consider this area

00:01:06.720 their traditional homeland including the miamiya ho-chunk menominee sack and fox peoria 1.00

00:01:15.060 kasaki kas kas kas kia wea kickapoo and maskatan mas mas kotan uh democrat uh let's see and i believe that is

00:01:28.720 that is our land acknowledgement madzigirads nakbago thank you that's the first line of the democrat

00:01:36.620 national platform in 2024 that's not just some weird breakaway group that's the first line of the whole

00:01:42.600 platform says america isn't really ours it belongs to a bunch of tribes the names of which democrats

00:01:50.720 can't even pronounce as the democrat nominee for president declared explicitly back in 2019

00:01:58.300 america is stolen land first let me just say as a i i strongly um believe and and take very seriously

00:02:08.840 that that that we must acknowledge that the government of the united states stole land

00:02:17.000 took land from the tribes and that there must be a restoration of that ownership for those lands that

00:02:26.480 were possessed by the tribes so that is a value i hold very dearly and very strongly

00:02:32.320 there must be a restoration of the lands that were taking that's giving away the whole country

00:02:38.400 there were there were some people here and then we came in and then through actually through different

00:02:46.120 trade deals and treaties and things but sometimes through acts of war we got the land she's saying

00:02:51.000 we got to give all the land back that's giving away the country now for what it's worth i think kamala

00:02:55.980 does as she says uh hold this value very dearly and very strongly this is the ideology behind open

00:03:03.460 borders the cynical political calculation behind mass migration and open borders is that it gives

00:03:09.040 democrats more votes but the ideological justification is that we have no right to this land so therefore

00:03:16.080 we have no right to keep anyone out of this land day one page one sentence one of the dnc

00:03:23.700 says we have a moral obligation to give away america and the convention did not get any better from

00:03:31.820 there i'm michael knowles this is the michael knowles show

00:03:33.780 luke skywalker did a really cringe video for the dnc which got me thinking the democrats supposedly run

00:03:59.680 all of hollywood they've got all these celebs at their beck and call how is it that the the biggest

00:04:04.540 star they can get to push their propaganda is a guy whose only notable film role originated in the

00:04:11.160 1970s how is he's probably the least cool person associated with the star wars franchise that's the

00:04:19.340 best guy they can get i don't know it shows you something about the enthusiasm there's so much more

00:05:54.180 from day one of the convention i was here pretty late into the night watching joe biden's speech

00:05:59.900 uh here are the highlights the dnc at least for day one was trying to position itself as the pro

00:06:08.820 worker convention the dems want to be the pro worker party but this is really tricky because

00:06:14.620 the head of the teamsters probably the most famous and important union boss in america sean o'brien

00:06:20.800 spoke at the rnc so for the first time ever you had a union boss speaking at the republican national

00:06:28.160 committee this is i i think the final chef's kiss on on on a movement that the republicans have made in

00:06:36.220 recent years from being the party of the billionaires and wall street and rich uncle pennybags

00:06:40.780 to being the party of the working class and trump has talked about it for a long time and then i think

00:06:46.220 the appearance by the head of the teamsters shows yeah this has really happened think about your

00:06:50.320 friends who are your friends who support the democrats who are your friends who support trump

00:06:54.640 it for ordinary normal working men and women of america

00:06:59.700 the ones i know at least even if they used to be democrats for most of their life they've moved

00:07:05.960 more in the trump direction the kinds of people who support the democrats are the kinds of people

00:07:10.540 who do land acknowledgements for the indigenous tribes of the middle of america it's it's people who

00:07:16.500 hang around ivy league faculty lounges it's people who work in corporate jobs it's very high level

00:07:23.260 corporate jobs it's people who are living in the cities it's the the republicans have basically pulled

00:07:28.600 it off they're the party of workers and so the dems had to try to counter this so they got some two-bit

00:07:33.800 second-tier union boss to show up sean fain he's president of the united automobile workers his speech

00:07:40.880 fell totally flat that's the difference between kamala harris and donald trump the scab 1.00

00:07:47.200 trump is pushing divide and conquer tactics of the rich it's the oldest trick in the book

00:07:57.740 they want to blame the frustrations of working class people they want to take those frustrations

00:08:04.080 they want to blame it on race they want to blame it on the lgbtq plus people they want to blame it on

00:08:10.320 some destitute and desperate person at the border they do that because they want working class people 1.00

00:08:17.300 to be divided and to focus and keep the focus off the one true enemy corporate greed

00:08:23.540 okay i thought the whole speech was a flop with this guy at one point he ripped his shirt off it's

00:08:30.840 really weird but but this was the even even in a weak speech the weakest point because his charges

00:08:37.700 the gop they're talking about things like you know the dems going in and transing your kids in schools

00:08:43.300 they're talking about things like the open border and the mass migration crisis they're talking about

00:08:48.200 that to divide the working class but we know better we working class we're going to be divided 0.82

00:08:53.320 this falls flat because the biggest political issue for the working class is mass migration

00:09:00.740 this flood of millions and millions tens of millions over even just relatively recent years of of foreign

00:09:08.780 nationals illegally into our country is a major labor problem that's suppresses wages that raises the cost 1.00

00:09:15.940 of housing that's a major working class problem and trump wants to curtail that problem which means

00:09:22.520 he's defending the interests of the working class and kamala wants to blow that problem open she's the 0.84

00:09:26.820 borders are she's the reason that we have historically high mass migration and illegal mass migration at 0.99

00:09:31.860 that so so he can say they're trying to distract us from the working class issues by pointing to the border

00:09:38.560 yeah that's the working class issue man what's what's the second most urgent working class issue

00:09:44.480 the second most urgent working class issue is the shipping of american jobs overseas in the name of

00:09:49.560 globalization and free trade well this wasn't always the case for for my lifetime this wasn't

00:09:55.920 always the case in the last half century but the republicans are now the party that is skeptical

00:09:59.620 of globalization that is skeptical of pure free trade the democrats are the party of outsourcing the

00:10:05.420 democrats are the party of of throwing away american manufacturing the democrats are the party of not

00:10:10.400 protecting any american industries so on the two biggest working class american labor issues it's not

00:10:16.860 just smooth words from donald trump it's not just talking the talk rather than walking the walk the republicans

00:10:23.840 are legitimately appealing to and advancing labor interests the democrats are undermining labor interests no

00:10:33.300 matter what lip service they pay to it that is why the most prominent labor union head in america spoke at the rnc

00:10:42.360 and this two-bit jump spoke at the dnc then we saw democrat rising star star superstar aoc shows up

00:10:52.060 on day one to really inject some energy and prepare the audience for joe biden and kamala harris

00:11:00.500 i see a leader who understands i see a leader with a real commitment to a better future for working

00:11:10.300 families

00:11:11.300 and chicago we have to help her win because we know that donald trump would sell this country for a dollar

00:11:23.700 if it meant lining his own pockets and greasing the palms of his wall street friends and i for one am tired

00:11:33.500 about of hearing about how a two-bit union buster thinks of himself as more of a patriot than the woman 0.94

00:11:40.900 who fights every single day to lift working people out from under the boots of greed traveling on our way of life

00:11:50.800 the truth is done

00:11:54.600 you cannot love this country if you only fight for the wealthy and big business

00:12:02.360 can i get an amen i say can i say oh see i wrote your hands in the air it was a

00:12:08.880 a little bit over the top i actually thought she did a pretty good job 0.86

00:12:12.960 for a democrat convention she kind of got the job done

00:12:16.560 but the substance of her argument was really silly

00:12:20.360 so notice she knew what the job was too she was there to prepare the audience for joe biden who's who's

00:12:26.600 going to speak shortly after her but she knew this is really about kamala harris joe biden's old news

00:12:30.580 we're preparing everyone for kamala harris so we're going to really hype up kamala

00:12:34.060 but we're going to lean in on labor issues that's what all of day one was about i'll be curious to

00:12:38.820 see if the rest of the dnc is about this the fact that the democrats feel they so have to beef up

00:12:44.660 their their labor bona fides makes me think they're they're quite nervous they're afraid that trump is

00:12:49.560 actually going to take the working class vote and and so they have to remind everyone that aoc was a

00:12:54.280 waitress and she was a bartender and she loves the working class and even though the democrats are 0.71

00:12:59.400 willing to sell out the working class through mass migration and globalization listen we still have

00:13:03.120 aoc to give a rousing speech this donald trump he can't love his country he would sell the country

00:13:08.100 out for a dollar no one really believes this because donald trump was one of the most famously

00:13:14.940 wealthy people in america before he got into politics donald trump has lost money over the course

00:13:21.500 of his political career trump could be much richer today he would not have to pay zillions of dollars

00:13:29.060 in legal fees he would not have constant legal threats on his properties he would not have people

00:13:33.300 trying to bankrupt him had he not gotten into politics president trump no matter what you think

00:13:39.320 of the guy no matter what you think of his rhetoric or whatever trump got into politics in a way that

00:13:47.780 advances the common good if he were simply out for self-interest he'd just keep running his golf

00:13:52.680 courses in his resorts and and appearing in his reality tv shows he donald trump is one of the few

00:14:00.080 people who starts flying in in air force one and it's a downgrade for his mode of transportation

00:14:05.360 president trump is one of the few people who moves into the white house and it's a downgrade in his

00:14:09.160 standard of living say whatever you want about him you can't say he's in this for selfish or

00:14:13.400 materialistic motives he's lost material wealth doing this someone like aoc didn't really have

00:14:19.340 any money aoc has made a lot of money in politics kamala harris she she didn't have a successful 1.00

00:14:25.340 private sector career she's made her money in politics joe biden certainly didn't have any private

00:14:30.700 sector careers worked his whole life for the government and he's made millions and millions

00:14:33.800 of dollars doing it these are people who are sucking off the government teat who are turning the common 0.65

00:14:38.160 good for their own private interest but joe biden had his son gallivanting all around the world

00:14:42.720 selling out american influence to lie the biden family's pockets ironically i think her speech

00:14:48.140 was still somewhat effective because she delivered it relatively well but everything she is accusing

00:14:52.620 trump of not only does not apply to trump but it applies perfectly to all the prominent democrats

00:14:56.800 at the dnc now speaking of the common good speaking of putting putting private interests second

00:15:04.700 and putting the the good of america first i just had the great privilege of sitting down with

00:15:09.700 captain sam brown uh captain brown was uh injured uh while he was defending his country and defending

00:15:17.580 his men and now he's running for senate take a listen if you don't mind going back in time

00:15:22.680 what happened we were providing security for a convoy that was delivering turbines to a dam to help power

00:15:30.120 southern afghanistan there's not a warning when your life is about to go up in flames i had three

00:15:36.400 sensations my truck got blown in the air and so i felt this sinking feeling into my seat the blast over

00:15:42.220 pressure made everything go silent and in a moment i suddenly realized who i was i threw my arms in the

00:15:48.560 air um in a moment of desperation that was true conviction that i needed god and i screamed jesus save

00:15:57.140 me and i had these three final thoughts how long is it going to take to burn to death what's the

00:16:01.580 transition from this life to the next going to be like and i made the decision to give up the will

00:16:05.780 to live the miracle then came

00:16:07.960 watch the full episode now at the michael knowles youtube channel do not forget to subscribe to the

00:16:18.240 ad-free version on daily wire plus okay final moments of the dnc day one joe biden's about to come out

00:16:25.260 he is introduced this was a real head scratcher he's introduced by his daughter who to my knowledge

00:16:32.860 has not made a single public appearance during his entire presidency he's introduced by ashley biden

00:16:39.960 joe biden is the og girl dad 0.98

00:16:45.180 he told me i could be anything and i could do anything as a child i would sit on the leather

00:16:56.660 chair in his office doing my homework and he would sit next to me doing his work drafting the violence

00:17:04.340 against women act

00:17:06.340 and he wasn't just a girl dad i could see and he wasn't just a girl dad i could see that he valued and trusted

00:17:22.540 women 1.00

00:17:23.340 how he listened to his mother how he believed in his sister

00:17:31.820 and most of all how he respected my mother's career

00:17:36.840 dad was always there doing everything he could to be a true partner to her

00:17:47.300 okay this was a weird choice because if you know the name ashley biden the way that you know the name

00:17:56.940 ashley biden is because parts of ashley biden's diary leaked and and his it has been confirmed

00:18:02.220 that what leaked was ashley biden's diary and in it she says that joe would take showers with her

00:18:08.500 when she was a little girl and that this was probably inappropriate and it was creepy and it was weird

00:18:14.000 that this the joe her grown father would would take showers with ashley that's what when you hear the

00:18:20.560 name ashley biden that's all you think of fair or not it's in her own handwriting if biden has

00:18:25.960 avoided until now uh bringing this to people's minds why would you choose the final moment really

00:18:32.880 of your political career your your final main stage moment of your political career why would

00:18:38.120 you do and the answer is because the the alternative was hunter biden is the only other

00:18:42.240 kid who could could have introduced him so you probably don't want the crackhead international

00:18:45.820 criminal woman abuser deadbeat dad to come out and introduce you and talk about what a great

00:18:52.200 family man you are so so yeah it was just i understand why they chose ashley biden but if

00:18:57.060 if it were me if i were if i were setting the stage i probably would have just avoided the kid

00:19:01.600 introduction altogether and had jill do the introduction in any case joe biden came out

00:19:06.960 finally after after what sounded like a eulogy from ashley biden was really sad comes out you know

00:19:13.340 oh my dad i'll always remember when he took us fishing or whatever you know it's it actually

00:19:18.460 sounded like like all of these thousands of people were just attending a funeral for joe biden who

00:19:23.900 wasn't quite dead yet and then biden came out and didn't really do anything to undercut that perception

00:19:30.800 so you hear those chants thank you joe thank you joe and when biden came out and said oh joe yeah we

00:19:46.600 love joe whatever he seemed so happy they gave him a nice standing ovation his countenance seemed

00:19:52.500 to drop a little bit when they started chanting thank you joe thank you joe because they were

00:19:57.840 thanking him for dropping out that's that's offensive and and even biden in his enfeebled state

00:20:06.200 seemed to understand that thank you joe thank you so much for dropping out you're such a bad president

00:20:13.040 and so obviously unable to be president thank you so much for not continuing to run and dashing all

00:20:21.500 of our hopes that was the valedictory to biden's political career and if one is at all inclined to

00:20:27.060 feel bad for the guy it might be for that for that reason his greatest accomplishment is quitting

00:20:33.240 that whole the whole speech he gave it was all the usual you know trump called nazis fine people

00:20:38.440 total lie everything's great under my reign it's it's not things are terrible that's one of the

00:20:43.540 reasons why he couldn't run for re-election successfully he didn't really point to any

00:20:49.400 achievements from the rest of his political career he didn't really point to any actual achievements

00:20:54.400 this guy has been in politics since 1970 he's been in national politics since 1972 he was elected to

00:21:00.060 the senate before he was constitutionally eligible to serve he's been in public life for 56 years

00:21:05.520 54 years at the national level and what does he have to show for it nothing he's accomplished

00:21:16.160 nothing the the one law that that he might claim some credit for which toughened up on crime in the

00:21:24.020 1990s is a law he has to run away from because the democrats are now pro-crime he had nothing you're in

00:21:32.000 national politics for more than half a century for the majority of your rather lengthy life

00:21:39.100 and you have nothing no accomplishment to point to one one almost feels sorry for him the only person

00:21:48.020 i feel a little bit sorrier for is mark hamill another relatively unsympathetic figure who came out

00:21:52.820 and and posted this hype video at the top of the dnc mark hamill here with the head of the dnc mr jamie

00:21:59.960 harrison well listen mark you got an important election coming up in november yes you got a

00:22:05.760 message for everybody out there well in the movies i fought against make-believe evil but we're at a

00:22:13.820 time in our history we were fighting against real evil so i beg you please don't go to the orange side

00:22:20.960 oh man this is i'm not even gonna really comment on the video itself lest my face be stuck in a

00:22:34.600 permanent cringe but it is weird that mark hamill is the best guy they can get they trot mark hamill

00:22:40.860 out at the white house they trot mark hamill out at their white guys for kamala virtual rally they

00:22:47.580 trot mark hamill out at day one of the dnc these guys are supposed to control hollywood how is it

00:22:52.720 that this this c-lister is the ab is the best guy they can get to push their agenda well in part i 0.95

00:22:59.720 think it's because no one is really and certainly no one's enthusiastic about biden's administration

00:23:04.300 and relatively few people are enthusiastic about kamala's campaign i think this is why gavin

00:23:11.900 newsom wasn't all that interested in taking over this cycle from like gretchen whitmer the governor 1.00

00:23:16.480 of michigan didn't really want to take the nomination whatever the media are saying kamala's 0.94

00:23:22.100 looking great she's up in the polls everyone's so excited they're raising a lot of money i did not

00:23:27.380 get the impression that democrats feel confident about their chances in 2024 there's so much more

00:24:55.760 line of attack in the 2024 cycle and especially around this time of year tim walls asks if you

00:25:02.640 remember the good old days when politics didn't dominate everything some of us who have less hair and

00:25:09.120 are old enough can remember when you could go to thanksgiving watch a stealer's game with your

00:25:16.560 relatives and not complain about politics the whole time not be on each other's neck because you shared

00:25:25.220 a commitment to democracy a commitment to personal freedom a commitment to public education a commitment

00:25:31.260 to infrastructure we don't call each other names we don't do it and we don't use the leech fortunate

00:25:41.820 amongst us as punch lines for our jokes because they're our neighbors they're our neighbors and so

00:25:46.700 you're getting an opportunity to see the best side of american for the young people here they maybe

00:25:52.480 haven't seen a campaign like this because of covid because of things that's happening this is a chance

00:25:57.860 to bring out that joy turn the page and look to the future okay i think this is a potent and

00:26:04.780 persuasive line the only problem with it coming from tim waltz is that it's completely disingenuous

00:26:10.980 which side has ruined thanksgiving he says you remember when you could go to thanksgiving not

00:26:20.320 bicker about politics which side bickers about politics at thanksgiving i am about as right-wing

00:26:27.440 as they get in american public life i am somewhat well known for being involved in politics

00:26:34.340 i have never once started any political fight at thanksgiving i don't bring up politics at the

00:26:47.760 holidays i try not to raise controversial issues and it's not just me have you ever seen a conservative

00:26:55.960 put out a commercial or a brochure or some pamphlet saying here's how you scold your left-wing

00:27:02.080 relatives at thanksgiving you've never seen that you've never seen that once probably you've seen

00:27:08.120 jokes about that because conservatives would never do such a thing however from the left you always hear

00:27:13.740 this in all the left-wing media outlets every year here's how you can lecture your right-wing trump

00:27:21.340 supporting uncle at thanksgiving you remember during the obama administration they had pajama

00:27:25.480 boy come out they said here's how you can scold your right-wing relatives and and get them to

00:27:31.460 support obamacare it's always the left who's pushing the divisive politics at the holidays it's

00:27:37.320 the left that ruined thanksgiving i don't want to talk politics of things i talk politics every day of my

00:27:41.100 life i understand that some of my relatives in fact many of my relatives are maybe a little bit

00:27:46.740 confused about politics it's okay many americans are a little bit confused about politics that's all

00:27:52.020 right they can tune into my show if they want we can talk about that later on we can go to an election

00:27:57.860 party and talk about that that's not what i go to thanksgiving for but that is what the left goes to

00:28:04.440 thanksgiving for or they won't go at all have you ever heard of a conservative saying i'm not going

00:28:09.620 to go to thanksgiving or christmas because my blue-haired half lesbian niece is you know has too many 1.00

00:28:15.580 piercings or something you've never heard that it's never the conservatives however have you ever

00:28:21.640 heard of a left-wing purple-haired lesbian half lesbian niece with too many piercings saying i won't

00:28:28.240 go to thanksgiving because uncle johnny the right-wing troglodyte is there yes you've heard that many

00:28:32.380 times so so i i like the sentiment that tim walls is suggesting but wouldn't it be great if we could

00:28:40.380 all just get along and recognize that family is more important than you know some political bickering

00:28:44.280 let's all go and slice some turkey together yeah his side won't let us do that it ain't the trumpers

00:28:50.920 it ain't the conservatives you know in in disagreements in war the other side has a say

00:29:00.080 so we talk about the the culture war so i mean it's the left is the aggressor in the culture war

00:29:05.560 conservatives just want things to remain basically as they are and a little bit normal it's the left that

00:29:10.480 wants to change the definition of marriage which is impossible to do ultimately it's the left who

00:29:16.420 wants to put big dudes into the girls bathroom it's the left that wants to put pornography in 1.00

00:29:21.320 elementary schools it's the left that wants to murder all the babies and change the laws to make 0.99

00:29:26.900 it easier to murder the babies it's the left that's doing that they're the aggressors so we i don't know 0.66

00:29:33.180 what to tell you you know i'd i'd be happy to chill out for a holiday or two they won't tim walls won't

00:29:40.080 let us do that now speaking of holidays speaking of holy days and holy things a great story a great

00:29:49.140 new study has come out this is from italy's institute of crystallography of the national research council

00:29:56.800 scientists have just conducted a study on the shroud of turin for those of you who don't know what the

00:30:03.060 shroud of turin is the shroud of turin is the purported burial cloth of our lord of jesus and

00:30:10.860 the the the burial cloth appeared for the first time in public around the 14th century so skeptics have

00:30:19.440 said for a long time this is a medieval forgery this is not really from antiquity this is not really the

00:30:23.740 cloth that uh christ was wrapped in after he was taken down from the cross it you read in the bible

00:30:29.200 that that joseph of arimathea who had this big tomb uh wrapped jesus in this cloth and he was he was

00:30:35.940 buried and entombed and then he's he's resurrected so skeptics don't know how to explain this this

00:30:44.440 shroud what's odd about the shroud though is there is this faint image of a man on there but it it doesn't

00:30:50.140 appear to be paint doesn't there does appear to be maybe a little bit of blood but it's not all

00:30:54.380 blood what what's even stranger is the image that's on the shroud appears to be a photographic

00:31:01.600 negative of the image of a man some somewhere between five foot seven and six feet tall a man who

00:31:09.660 appears to have been tortured a man who appears to have a crown of thorns on his head a man who

00:31:12.980 appears to have been crucified but it's a it's a photographic negative as if it were produced by a

00:31:18.280 spurt of light rather than paints or anything like that and and no one's known what this is if if it

00:31:23.680 is i mean as it is uh something akin to a photographic negative no one can really understand how that

00:31:29.120 would have appeared even if it were a medieval forgery in the from the 14th century well we

00:31:32.980 didn't have photography back then how what is this thing so in the 1980s there was a study that used

00:31:40.440 radiocarbon dating to test when the shroud was made and in the 1980s scientists concluded oh it's from

00:31:47.400 the middle ages so it can't be the burial cloth of christ because it's not from antiquity this is a

00:31:52.620 medieval forgery and that's what most people know about the shroud of terrain if they know anything

00:31:55.780 at all however there were always some questions about those studies what part of the shroud were

00:32:03.240 they testing was there any contamination or was the radiocarbon dating precise well now there's a new

00:32:08.300 study that appears to be a little bit more precise the study measured the aging the natural aging of

00:32:15.900 flax cellulose in the shroud and converted it to time since manufacture so that it studied eight

00:32:23.140 small samples of the fabric of the shroud of turin put them under an x-ray uncovered little details

00:32:29.480 about the linens and the cellulose's structure and patterns because the cellulose is made up of

00:32:35.380 sugar molecules that that break down over time so you can reverse engineer this and figure out

00:32:40.060 how old the garment is and the study discovered that the shroud the material of the shroud has

00:32:50.340 measurements that are analogous with samples whose dating according to historical records goes back

00:32:56.100 to the first century it's analogous to samples that they have from 55 to 74 a.d so almost precisely

00:33:06.420 at the crucifixion now uh the the team also compared the shroud of turin with linen samples from the

00:33:17.300 middle ages from the 13th and 14th century when according to the 1988 study the the shroud was

00:33:22.940 supposedly forged however the samples didn't match they were totally different so it couldn't have been

00:33:30.280 from the 13th or 14th century has to have been from the first century has to have been well pretty much

00:33:34.660 from exactly the moment that our lord was crucified so why was the 1988 study wrong well according to

00:33:40.900 lead author of this study dr liberato de caro he said that the fabric samples are usually subject to

00:33:47.560 all kinds of contamination which cannot be completely removed from the dated specimen so for instance if

00:33:53.460 the cleaning procedure of the sample is not thoroughly performed the carbon 14 dating is not reliable

00:33:58.440 so the numbers are just this is just a much more precise mode of dating and it it turns out from

00:34:07.620 the latest scientific study the shroud of turin appears to be the sort of shroud that could have been the

00:34:14.980 shroud of jesus i mentioned this whole story because i really like the shroud of turin but because

00:34:22.360 this is this is really scandalous for people if you talk to a normie on the street some agnostics 1.00

00:34:28.380 some atheists you say hey what do you think about the shroud of turin which is the the the image of

00:34:33.340 which is totally inexplicable from contemporary uh technological advancements you know at at the time

00:34:41.060 that it was uh seems to have been made and uh which which dates back to antiquity and which purports to

00:34:47.500 to be the the barely burial shroud of christ they would laugh at you they'd say oh that's ridiculous

00:34:52.300 it was just made up whenever whenever it first appeared on the public scene it was just made up

00:34:55.840 you know it's all fake these relics they're all fake the whole thing it's all just like total

00:34:58.800 nonsense superstition legends but then you show them this study you say no it it it's from antiquity

00:35:06.260 whatever it is it's from antiquity and the images of photographing negative and we don't how do you

00:35:13.540 explain it that's scandalous to people it's scandalous even to some religious people there

00:35:19.900 there are some people who would call themselves christians who say i don't believe in that

00:35:22.660 shroud of turin that's crazy i don't believe in something like the tilma of our lady of guadalupe

00:35:27.200 this was a marian apparition in america this this was a miraculous image appeared on a cloth that was

00:35:33.640 worn by a peasant 500 years ago this cloth should have broken down within 30 40 years it's still 0.98

00:35:38.700 intact anarchists in the early 20th century to try to blow this thing up they blew up the church

00:35:44.140 they didn't destroy this delicate shroud in fact there was a crucifix that was bent around it as if

00:35:48.760 to protect it the the image that miraculously appeared no one really knows what what the image

00:35:53.420 is is made of and if there was a microscopic analysis done on the eyes so there's this image

00:36:00.420 of our lady it's this image of of mary and uh it's an image the the microscopic study looked in

00:36:07.680 at the lens of the eye in the image and found out that the lens of the eye contours exactly as a

00:36:12.720 human eye and there's actually an image in the lens of the eye which is the reflection of of the room

00:36:17.000 apparently when the shroud was when the when the tilma was shown things like the shroud of turin

00:36:22.320 things like the tilma of our lady of guadalupe are really scandalous to people and even to religious

00:36:26.980 people because they say no no religion's an abstract thing it's not about this cloth it's not about this

00:36:32.480 thing that happened at this date it reminds me of first corinthians it says for both the jews

00:36:37.240 require signs and the greeks seeked after wisdom but we preach christ crucified unto the jews indeed 0.83

00:36:43.180 a stumbling block and unto the gentiles foolishness but unto them that are called both jews and greeks 0.99

00:36:48.440 christ the power of god and the wisdom of god for the foolishness of god is is wiser than men and the

00:36:55.020 weakness of god is stronger than men when you when you read a study like this and you say oh wow this

00:37:02.420 actually might be the the miraculous burial shroud of christ in fact that seems to be the most logical

00:37:07.380 conclusion of what this is or the the tilma this might just seems to just be a miraculous image

00:37:11.980 because no one else can really explain it any other way that seems to be the simplest explanation for

00:37:16.620 it and the most persuasive then you start to think oh yikes it might all be true the claims that god

00:37:23.460 makes in the bible the claims that the church makes the the guidelines that god has set down

00:37:29.980 that the church promotes do this don't do this god saying i want to be worshipped in this way and

00:37:37.440 you want to live in this way golly that that might all be true that is uh scandalous to people that's

00:37:45.300 that's scary to some people that religion might not just be something floating around in your head

00:37:49.860 a matter of personal preference it might be there might be a right answer and there might be a right

00:37:54.060 way for you to live and you might be called upon to use your reason which is a distinguishing feature

00:38:00.780 that that reveals us to be made in the image and likeness of god you might be required to use your reason

00:38:07.680 to open your heart to faith and revelation and live in the right way so that you can know your god and

00:38:14.100 you can flourish and you might actually be convinced of that or or brought along the path to being

00:38:22.080 convinced of that by things like a really old shroud yikes maybe it's all real if you have not already

00:38:29.920 secured your tickets for the september 13th premiere of the daily wire's first theatrical film

00:38:34.260 am i racist do it today we're hearing that some theaters are not showing the film yet can you imagine

00:38:40.020 every ticket sold helps us get it into more theaters across the country go to miracist.com

00:38:44.400 buy your advanced tickets today my favorite comment from rosemary kelly 3078 vasectomies that's one way

00:38:52.720 to reduce the number of future democrat voters that's true that's very true uh however though it is

00:39:02.040 funny that the dems have a vasectomy booth a vasectomy van just sitting outside the convention it's 0.75

00:39:08.560 but you know it's bad intrinsically is the thing it's bad to gild yourself it's bad to cut off

00:39:14.020 a future progeny sometimes you'll even hear right-wingers usually jokingly say well you know

00:39:19.460 abortions abortion's bad but if it's going to limit the number of future democrats you know they're just

00:39:24.440 killing themselves and i think yeah right that's it's kind of funny in a dark way but we don't want

00:39:28.980 them to do it's intrinsically bad it's intrinsically bad to kill babies it's intrinsically bad to castrate

00:39:34.380 yourself it's intrinsically bad to cut yourself off from the possibility of life that'll kill

00:39:38.180 your country in the long run it's currently happening to us now uh yeah it's it's fun it's

00:39:42.540 funny to think of the dems these like loser cuck dems just sort of bent over you know hobbling out 1.00

00:39:48.820 of the vasectomy van i know i i laugh at it too but it's it's bad actually we don't want that for

00:39:55.180 them we want them to flourish and live in the right way because if you get more people more and more

00:39:59.220 people living in a way that's vicious and self-interested and and uh bad then you're gonna have a worse

00:40:05.400 country and if you get more people who are living in a way that's that's conducive to flourishing

00:40:08.960 and allows them to be happier and you know not just taking drugs and doing all sorts of nasty

00:40:14.440 things all the time then you're gonna have a better country because we're a political animal and no man

00:40:18.220 is an island so i want the democrats to live a good life and they shouldn't shouldn't uh castrate

00:40:24.220 themselves or kill their kids certainly not at national conventions speaking of abstractions

00:40:29.940 and our democracy kamala harris has a really rousing message for all of us from the campaign trail

00:40:37.780 on the nature of democracy we know there's a duality to the nature of democracy on the one hand

00:40:46.600 incredible strength when it is intact what it does for its people to protect and defend their rights

00:40:57.760 their liberty and their freedom incredibly strong and incredibly fragile

00:41:05.620 there's a duality you know man when you really think about it kamala is the kid doing the book

00:41:16.060 report and she didn't crack the spine of the book and she always sounds that way bart simpson getting 1.00

00:41:22.840 called on by principal skinner doesn't know a thing about the subject libya is a land of

00:41:27.720 contradictions democracy there's a duality to democracy it's incredibly strong yet incredibly

00:41:34.840 fragile that isn't possible because there's this thing called the law of non-contradiction

00:41:42.380 where mutually exclusive and contradictory statements cannot simultaneously be true

00:41:50.280 now there is a kernel of truth in what kamala is saying she says when everyone is doing the right

00:41:56.960 thing and everyone's really strong then democracy is really strong that's true that is true this is

00:42:04.600 why the founding fathers said that the constitution is built for a moral and religious people you know

00:42:09.100 this is why ben franklin famously said we've given you a republic if you can keep it because

00:42:13.920 a republic uh a republic uh calls for virtue in a way that that other forms of regime which are

00:42:24.400 perfectly legitimate uh do not it calls for civic virtue and so when the people are virtuous and

00:42:32.200 industrious and religious and doing the things they ought to do then the republic really can flourish it

00:42:39.060 can it can be a really beautiful thing it is fragile in the sense that republics do not uh cultivate virtue

00:42:48.620 necessarily in the way that other regimes do and so when that virtue dissipates then the republic turns

00:42:55.240 into mob rule which is what the founders and the framers feared so in in that sense it's it is

00:43:01.640 pretty weak but it's not simultaneously strong and weak it's just a particular form of of regime that

00:43:10.740 even the people who gave us this system feared might not last very long and historically doesn't last

00:43:15.720 very long and leads to uh demagogic sophists like kamala harris who go out and say you know man when you

00:43:25.520 think about venn diagrams and the duality of democracy in the microscopic world man you know you think

00:43:31.220 about school buses who doesn't love a school bus this this would be exhibit a in the case against

00:43:39.260 the uh the virtue of uh of democracy because kamala does not show us the duality of democracy she really 1.00

00:43:47.120 only shows us the negative side so what is going to happen well uh you know all i could do is really

00:43:56.600 pose a prediction i could pose a hypothesis here is what kamala has to say about hypothesis

00:44:01.400 um there is this wonderful word that has a great meaning and it's called hypothesis

00:44:07.060 which means that you have an idea and then it is well accepted it will be tested

00:44:16.560 and then you will learn whether it was correct or not but there will be no pride associated with

00:44:23.060 the hypothesis because after all it was a hypothesis right and then you will reconvene

00:44:29.280 and then create a new hypothesis right oh man first of all that's not that's that's also not what

00:44:37.140 hypothesis means and it's a something that's well accepted and it's actually not it's not a hypothesis

00:44:45.140 does not need to be well accepted very often it is not well accepted it's just tested and and she's

00:44:50.920 explaining this to people in a way that is at once it's simultaneously uh totally devoid of substance

00:45:01.840 but also extremely condescending which i was going to say it that seems ironic but no often people who

00:45:09.280 are really condescending are people who are who are ignorant and uh so they i don't know that she's 0.64

00:45:15.600 trying to buttress her her lack of knowledge about really anything and some kind of you know she's 1.00

00:45:22.940 she's slowing down her speech and she's kind of laughing a little bit at how you know okay so let's

00:45:28.920 hypothesis high means not low po is a river in italy the that's like that's the that's a definite

00:45:36.980 article a is the indefinite article the is the the and cis which is a non-trans individual hypothesis

00:45:43.780 you know okay okay yellow school buses okay

00:45:47.940 we have forgotten something and the democrats in particular have forgotten something

00:45:57.080 which is that it is good to have presidents who are educated and intelligent

00:46:04.000 we think in our highly ideological age that ideology is all that matters

00:46:11.440 this person is on my side this person checks the boxes on the candidate questionnaire okay that's

00:46:18.020 great put him in office but that's a highly mechanistic view it's a mechanical and and almost

00:46:28.880 computational view of of a political candidate we're not we're not just installing ai into the

00:46:36.140 white house we're not just installing some new software into these offices we're electing people

00:46:42.920 who are supposed to exercise judgment okay and they they are supposed to have cultivated their judgment

00:46:50.880 through education which requires at least some modicum of intelligence and ideally a higher than

00:46:56.800 average degree of intelligence it's not just about ideology i would vote for a right-wing dolt

00:47:05.720 over a left-wing genius but i would prefer not to vote for a right-wing dolt i'd prefer to vote for an 0.60

00:47:11.820 intelligent right-winger and and the reason is that you you can't predict all of the exigencies and

00:47:18.900 uh you know unforeseen events that will occur when when someone is in office and so you're electing someone

00:47:25.360 not just for how they check off a a policy list on a on a questionnaire but for their judgment

00:47:30.560 and people who prattle on without any meaning about venn diagrams and hypothesis and yellow school buses

00:47:43.260 people who for whom the the height of conversation and thought is sixth grade homeroom

00:47:49.540 probably aren't quite there and if our country is run for long enough by people who have who have not

00:47:58.580 really taken the time to cultivate their intelligence and their judgment their knowledge

00:48:02.980 uh the country is not going to remain on top for very long the rest of the show continues now you do

00:48:09.540 not want to miss it we have a former trump doj lawyer who uh you know is being persecuted by the left

00:48:17.680 that's no surprise but who who uh isn't even receiving publicity for it you know this is this is i think

00:48:24.240 probably the worst part of the democrats law fair other than just how intrinsically damaging it is

00:48:30.820 for the republic but the worst part is they're they're so good at it and they're they're uh

00:48:36.560 implementing it so broadly that half the time we don't even know the right-wingers who are being

00:48:41.660 persecuted who are being silenced who are who are being crushed under the heel of the state to

00:48:46.480 intimidate other right-wingers to stop people from ever supporting trump so anyway we're gonna be
