The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1573 - New Haitian Video Explains Cats & VooDoo

00:00:00.160 Republicans are Nazis. 1.00

00:00:01.660 You cannot separate yourselves from the bad white people. 1.00

00:00:06.200 Growing up in the 90s, I never thought much about race. 0.96

00:00:09.060 Sure, you noticed, but never really

00:00:10.760 seemed to matter that much, at least not to me.

00:00:13.180 Being a white, straight, cisgender man,

00:00:15.120 it's the top of the pile.

00:00:16.360 I'm on the top of the pile.

00:00:17.280 That's me.

00:00:18.360 Am I racist?

00:00:19.720 I would really appreciate it if you left.

00:00:21.240 I'm trying to learn.

00:00:21.920 I'm on this journey.

00:00:22.480 Can you please leave?

00:00:24.440 I'm going to sort this out.

00:00:25.680 I need to go deeper undercover.

00:00:27.400 If I want to be an ally, I need to look like one.

00:00:30.000 What is racism?

00:00:37.080 Martin Luther King said not to judge people by the-

00:00:39.400 Martin Luther King said a lot of stuff.

00:00:41.400 Is America inherently racist?

00:00:43.160 What the hell is that?

00:00:44.000 The word inherent is challenging there. 0.99

00:00:46.560 America is racist to its bones. 0.96

00:00:48.520 All of the- 0.98

00:00:49.120 So inherently.

00:00:49.960 Yeah.

00:00:50.960 The entire system has to burn.

00:00:52.360 And I'm not going to even use save this country.

00:00:53.840 This country is not worth saving.

00:00:55.320 This country is a piece of-

00:00:58.640 Oh, sorry. 0.76

00:01:00.000 They gon' say I'm racist.

00:01:02.080 Joining us now is Matt, certified DEI expert.

00:01:06.080 Here's my certification.

00:01:07.080 Where are you guys in your anti-racist journeys?

00:01:09.520 So I'll look around the room and point to who we believe is the most racist person in the room.

00:01:17.080 We want to rename the George Washington Monument to the George Floyd Monument.

00:01:21.160 Would you mind signing it?

00:01:22.160 You will?

00:01:23.160 What do you think about this issue of heteronormativity and how it intersects with the broader structures of racism in society?

00:01:30.160 Oh.

00:01:31.160 They gon' say I'm racist.

00:01:32.240 They gon' say I'm racist. 0.99

00:01:33.240 What's up with white people? 0.98

00:01:34.240 What are you doing to decenter your whiteness? 0.98

00:01:37.240 Who's making it the center?

00:01:38.240 Why are they doing that?

00:01:39.240 What you're doing is you're stretching out of your whiteness. 0.71

00:01:43.240 This is more for you in this field.

00:01:44.240 Yeah.

00:01:45.240 Yeah.

00:01:46.240 White folks. 0.76

00:01:47.240 White. 1.00

00:01:48.240 Trash. 1.00

00:01:49.240 White supremacy. 1.00

00:01:50.240 White woman. 1.00

00:01:51.240 White boy. 0.99

00:01:52.240 White entitlement. 0.95

00:01:53.240 White. 0.92

00:01:54.240 Centering.

00:01:55.240 White. 0.81

00:01:56.240 Silence. 0.94

00:01:57.240 Is there a black person around here? 0.96

00:01:58.240 There's a black person right here.

00:01:59.240 Does he not exist? 0.96

00:02:00.240 They gon' say I'm racist.

00:02:01.240 But they call everybody racist.

00:02:02.240 Hi, Robin.

00:02:03.240 Hi.

00:02:04.240 And what's your name?

00:02:05.240 I'm Matt.

00:02:06.240 Matt.

00:02:07.240 Hi, Matt.

00:02:08.240 Thanks to nature.

00:02:09.240 I just had to ask who you are because you have to be careful.

00:02:11.240 Never be too careful.

00:02:12.240 In theaters now.

00:02:14.240 It's rated PG-13.

00:02:16.240 Buy tickets now.

00:02:21.240 Do Haitians eat cats? 0.98

00:02:23.240 That is the question that has implausibly come to dominate our political discourse in

00:02:28.240 the final weeks of the 2024 presidential election.

00:02:31.240 Liberal politicians and journalists, such as David Muir, say that they do not.

00:02:37.240 Haitians, however, say that they do. 0.51

00:02:39.240 Like this second generation Haitian American in a video reposted by Elon Musk. 0.95

00:02:44.240 My father immigrated from Haiti to the United States in the late 60s as a teenager.

00:02:51.240 And I want to talk about these recent comments about the Haitians in Springfield, Ohio.

00:02:55.240 He wasn't eating people's pets and he didn't practice voodoo.

00:02:59.240 But he did say that most of the island, the majority of the island does practice voodoo.

00:03:05.240 The reason they eat cats is for two reasons.

00:03:08.240 Number one is survival.

00:03:10.240 This is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere.

00:03:13.240 You can't just go to a food bank like you can here or just go to McDonald's and get some free or cheap food.

00:03:20.240 Unless, of course, there's a Christian missionary there. 0.99

00:03:23.240 People in the United States have a really hard time imagining that type of thing, but it is true. 0.91

00:03:29.240 Second, they do do animal sacrifices for their religion, voodoo. 0.90

00:03:34.240 They make these animal sacrifices to these gods for different reasons.

00:03:38.240 You can do your own research on this.

00:03:40.240 Do I think voodoo is a demonic religion?

00:03:42.240 Yes, I do.

00:03:43.240 That doesn't mean, obviously, that doesn't mean that you hate these people.

00:03:47.240 These people need prayer.

00:03:49.240 But you can't just take over all these people from another country and expect it to work. 1.00

00:03:54.240 Not to mention it doesn't fix the problems of that country.

00:03:58.240 And there's more people left in Haiti that we can bring over.

00:04:01.240 It's not racist to acknowledge that this is a problem.

00:04:04.240 The political nerd class hated that President Trump brought up Haitians eating cats at the presidential debate.

00:04:11.240 I disagree.

00:04:13.240 I disagree with their revulsion.

00:04:16.240 This is one of Trump's greatest political skills.

00:04:19.240 He can translate complex, frequently dry policy issues into vivid images.

00:04:25.240 He did the same thing on the same issue, actually, and was met with the same response by the Beltway types in 2015 when he called illegal border crossers murderers and rapists.

00:04:36.240 The libs engage in the same semiotic process when they describe illegal aliens as dreamers. 0.91

00:04:42.240 And Trump is saying the reality of illegal immigration is a nightmare.

00:04:47.240 Figuratively, Trump's picture of unvetted migrants as cat-eating criminals gets closer to the truth of mass migration than the happy-go-lucky dreamer picture painted by Democrats.

00:04:58.240 It's no surprise to me, then, that it might well be literally true as well.

00:05:04.240 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:05:05.240 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:05:07.240 Lots of moving pieces right now.

00:05:26.240 Bobby Kennedy Jr., who was the third-party candidate, potentially a spoiler, who then dropped out and endorsed Trump and said, if you're in a swing state, vote for Trump, but if you're in a red or blue state, vote for me.

00:05:36.240 He's just come out and said, don't vote for him in a red or blue state.

00:05:40.240 We want all the votes that we can get for Trump.

00:05:42.240 And then Trump has just made a big announcement about whether or not there will be a third presidential debate.

00:05:48.240 There's so much more to say.

00:05:49.240 First, though, go to jeremysrazors.com.

00:05:51.240 In a world gone mad, the Precision 5 from Jeremy's Razors stands as a beacon of sanity.

00:05:57.240 You can trust me on this.

00:05:58.240 I think I'm the only person at this entire company who still shaves. 1.00

00:06:01.240 Five blades of superior engineering offer a shave as unshakable as your belief that this nation's best days still lie ahead.

00:06:08.240 Experience an exceptionally smooth, remarkably close shave and a testament to the fact that merit still matters.

00:06:14.240 Stop giving your money to woke corporations that hate you.

00:06:16.240 Get Jeremy's Razors Precision 5 instead.

00:06:21.240 I think I need to be cut in on Jeremy's Razors.

00:06:24.240 Another great reason to go buy Jeremy's Razors right now is that I'm the face of Jeremy's Razors.

00:06:29.240 You can see my silky smooth cheeks on Amazon.

00:06:33.240 I think now we sell it at Walmart.

00:06:35.240 This is, and of course, you can always get it at jeremysrazors.com.

00:06:40.240 This is the Precision 5.

00:06:41.240 This is their new razor.

00:06:42.240 It is excellent.

00:06:44.240 Really, really good stuff.

00:06:45.240 Strongly recommend you don't give your money to razor companies that want to teach your little daughter to shave her face.

00:06:50.240 Go to jeremysrazors.com, walmart.com, or Amazon Prime.

00:06:54.240 Do the Haitians eat cats and dogs?

00:06:56.240 Not all Haitians. 0.99

00:06:58.240 That lady is second generation Haitian American. 1.00

00:07:00.240 She obviously doesn't eat cats and dogs, and she doesn't practice voodoo, and she's Christian.

00:07:04.240 But do some of these people, unvetted from a failed state where there is rampant cannibalism and ubiquitous voodoo, do these people eat cats and dogs?

00:07:15.240 TikTok has weighed in.

00:07:16.240 One of the top trends on TikTok right now, I am reliably informed by my Zoomer associates, is this remix of President Trump's debate comments.

00:07:27.240 They're eating the dogs.

00:07:42.240 Love it.

00:07:43.240 Totally love this.

00:07:45.240 And I was discussing this yesterday with my friend Jack Posobiec on his show, and he raised

00:07:51.440 the question. He said, this trend going around TikTok, all the Zoomers dancing around to eat 1.00

00:07:56.320 the dogs, eat the cats, is this good for Trump? Is this pro-Trump or is this anti-Trump?

00:08:01.520 And that's the wrong question. This is the kind of question that you'll hear in elementary poetry

00:08:08.880 classes. What does the poem mean? People don't really read a lot of poetry anymore. I like

00:08:13.880 poetry, but they'll look at a poem and they'll say, okay, what's the hidden meaning? But that's

00:08:19.260 not what poetry does. The reason that good poets write poetry is to convey meaning in a way that

00:08:26.840 it cannot be conveyed in an essay or in a book or in a tweet. It's just a different way of communicating,

00:08:37.460 and it reaches the body in different ways. It plays on your senses in different ways than,

00:08:42.200 say, an essay would. It's not, with poetry, with images, with music, you're not, it's not just an

00:08:48.200 elaborate or ornamented way of dressing up some meaning that could easily be written in a few

00:08:54.500 bullet points on a napkin. It conveys its meaning in the best way that it can. That's why the poem

00:09:01.880 has to be a poem and the poem isn't going to be an essay or a tweet or something. The same thing here

00:09:06.840 with the dogs and the cats and the dogs and the cats. What does it mean? Is it pro-Trump or anti-Trump?

00:09:10.720 It's just a meme, man. It's just a meme. People don't scroll through memes so that they can

00:09:17.640 decipher the hidden secret meaning. The memes just kind of delight you. And I think that's

00:09:22.560 the experience people are having. The Zoomers who are dancing to this and the many, many, 0.98

00:09:26.620 many more people who are watching these reels and these little TikToks. You watch it and you kind of

00:09:32.960 laugh. It's just kind of funny. It's delightful. You have a sensory experience of surprise,

00:09:38.520 of humor, of delight. And then you associate those things with Trump. Trump is the medium of

00:09:48.760 those experiences. That's how it works. It's not playing on a totally rational level. Music doesn't

00:09:54.560 play on a totally rational level. Plato wrote about this in The Republic. This is why he said we got to

00:09:57.960 be careful about what music we listen to because it bypasses the reason. It goes straight into the

00:10:03.060 soul. And frankly, I strongly suspect this is what inclined Trump to bring it up during the debate at

00:10:09.720 all. The nerd class cringed. They didn't want him to talk about the cats and the dogs. If he was going

00:10:14.080 to talk about mass migration, they want him to use dry, boring statistics and Excel spreadsheets.

00:10:18.720 That doesn't reach people. That's not how Trump—I talked about this on the show yesterday. That's not

00:10:24.220 how Trump made the immigration issue such an important issue in 2015 and 2016. He didn't cite a bunch of

00:10:30.040 lame numbers. He talked about murderers and rapists crossing the border. He painted a picture for you.

00:10:36.600 And it worked. That is the moment of the debate that's probably gone the most viral.

00:10:41.120 And what's the consequence of that? If there is a downstream political effect, it's going to be

00:10:46.500 people realizing that Trump is not, you know, Hitler 2.0. He's just kind of—he's like a funny guy,

00:10:51.520 you know? Hitler wasn't that funny, I don't think. I don't know. I'm not totally familiar with

00:10:55.380 Hitler, but I don't—he didn't—he was always screaming and banging the lectern. Trump is a 0.55

00:10:59.620 funny guy. And when you're laughing at a joke that someone tells you, it's hard to think that

00:11:04.400 that person is, you know, Hitler 2.0 and is going to overturn the whole country. So it takes the wind 0.97

00:11:11.540 out of the sails of the Democrats' argument that this man poses an existential, unique threat to the

00:11:16.380 republic. And it gets you talking about migration. Wait, why are we talking about Haitians eating cats 1.00

00:11:20.860 dogs? Oh, because Kamala Harris and Joe Biden flooded 300,000 of them into a small town that

00:11:25.280 didn't ask for these migrants to be placed there, where they're wreaking havoc in this town, where 1.00

00:11:31.080 they're crashing cars into school buses and buildings, where it looks like some animals are

00:11:36.320 going missing, that they shouldn't be going missing. And now all of a sudden we're talking

00:11:39.060 about mass migration again, which is bad for Kamala. It's good for Trump. What is the underlying 0.66

00:11:43.720 reality here? Well, despite the politicians saying, well, we haven't seen any credible reports.

00:11:49.720 Yeah, you haven't investigated very much either, have you? We don't consider the people who have

00:11:55.320 brought these suggestions to be all that credible. Okay, well, we've heard from people

00:11:59.820 in and around Springfield who have said that the Haitian migrants are creating a lot of social

00:12:05.340 problems there. You don't need to look very forward. This stuff is on video. Here's just one man

00:12:10.820 talking about what the Haitian migration in Springfield has meant for the community.

00:12:15.920 You know, the homeless problem. I don't know of a single homeless Haitian in this town

00:12:20.580 because they all got vouchers. But I can show you a whole bunch of people that have been displaced

00:12:25.760 because I'm that guy. Rob, you know, for 25 years I've worked with the homeless in this community.

00:12:31.840 You know, a lot of people don't know because I'm not the guy out there blowing the horn

00:12:35.100 because it ain't about me. It's the Jesus in me that goes out there and does it.

00:12:39.060 Trust me, there's days I'm tired, but I'll get into homeless camps that nobody in a suit

00:12:44.900 and tie will walk into. None. They trust me because I've never let them down.

00:12:50.540 You know, and guys, if you don't think it's here right now, in October, we are getting ready

00:12:57.400 to hit a wall here. There is not any relief for the homeless. The homeless people in this community

00:13:05.880 are not the people you think they are.

00:13:10.540 This is amazing testimony. I encourage you to watch the whole thing. For those of you who are

00:13:14.720 just listening, this is a guy with a big white beard, backwards baseball cap, wearing overalls.

00:13:20.720 He's got an American flag sticking out. This is a patriotic guy. And he's calling attention to this

00:13:26.380 problem that was foisted on us intentionally and consistently by Democrats, up to and including

00:13:32.280 the one who's currently running for president, Kamala Harris. And he's complaining about this

00:13:36.940 issue. It's not an idle complaint. It's a productive complaint. He's saying, we need to

00:13:41.420 do something about this. And he's doing it from the perspective of the homeless in town. So the

00:13:47.820 libs will tell you, oh, we're the defenders of the poor and the downtrodden and the homeless.

00:13:51.320 And he says, no, I work with the homeless. I go out there all the time. Some days I don't want to

00:13:54.660 do it, but I do it. I'm impelled by charity because the man is obviously Christian to go out there 0.99

00:13:59.720 and do it. He says, the people who are being hurt by mass migration, it's not the billionaire class.

00:14:05.200 It's not rich uncle penny bags. It's people who don't have very much. It's homeless people. Homeless

00:14:12.560 Americans are being hurt. People who are on the street, people who are addicted to drugs,

00:14:18.140 veterans who are dealing with psychological problems after they serve their country,

00:14:22.020 the lower middle class, the poor, the working poor, they're the ones being hurt by this.

00:14:27.800 It's an amazing testimony because it reflects this political realignment.

00:14:34.780 You've got the Republicans and the conservatives speaking for the people that the Democrats pretend

00:14:41.120 that they speak for. They're showing, no, you want to pretend that we just have to help these poor

00:14:48.300 Haitians and we need to fly them into our country and ship them into this small town. And we need to 1.00

00:14:54.460 take care of them. He says, I don't see any Haitian homeless people around here because you Democrats

00:14:59.700 give the Haitians vouchers to go have nice housing. What about for the Americans? You're going to give 0.98

00:15:05.860 the Americans nice housing? What about the veterans who are on the streets? What about the people who

00:15:09.400 are addicted to drugs and dying from drug addiction because you left the border open and you let poison

00:15:14.020 pour into this country like fentanyl? What about them? You don't seem to give a damn about them,

00:15:18.160 but you'll fly foreigners in from all over the world and you'll treat them much,

00:15:22.800 much better than you treat your own citizens. That is a powerful message. And we are only

00:15:28.780 talking about that today. Even the establishment media has had to talk about it a little bit.

00:15:32.720 We're talking about that because Donald Trump mentioned cats and dogs during a presidential

00:15:37.400 debate. Pretty good political rhetoric, if you ask me. There's so much more to say. First, though,

00:16:31.480 Face Off with Brett Cooper. Check out this teaser.

00:16:34.280 All right, Brett, what do you have? Five and a half hours. I said seven. It's technically

00:16:39.040 6.8 hours. I put seven in the prompter, but it's actually 6.8. What was in the prompter?

00:16:44.600 It's seven, but it's not true. I rounded up just to make it easier. So I didn't think you'd get that

00:16:48.300 close. You thought, oh, no, no, there's no chance that someone would guess seven over the answer of

00:16:55.980 6.8 in a game where you have to get closest without going over. You just didn't. It was feisty. It was

00:17:10.200 intense. It was sexy. I laughed. I cried. Tragedy and comedy all in the Face Off with my friend Brett.

00:17:18.260 So go check that out on the Michael Knowles YouTube channel coming to you very shortly.

00:17:24.200 What are the problems of mass migration? Well, you know, the dogs and the cats, sure.

00:17:30.800 The housing problems, when you import this many people, that's going to drive up the cost of 1.00

00:17:34.420 housing. There are going to be labor problems that come about as a result of that. It's going to drive

00:17:38.360 down wages for some people. It's going to make the labor market much more difficult to navigate for

00:17:42.440 some people, for some Americans. Also, it's going to undermine your sovereignty. Also, it's going to

00:17:49.860 undermine the integrity of your elections. Now, the minute I say that, I know that the Democrat

00:17:56.820 activists who watch my show every single day and who subscribe to The Daily Wire to do it,

00:18:01.280 they're going to start writing their headlines. Michael Knowles spreads misinformation, false

00:18:06.760 news, fake news about illegal aliens voting in elections. It does not happen. This is not real.

00:18:13.980 It's a calumny. OK, well, I'm not the one who said it first, at least. What do you what do you

00:18:19.580 make of this news report aired on a CBS affiliate? An undocumented woman from North Alabama has pleaded 0.91

00:18:26.600 guilty to voting and passport fraud. The Department of Justice says 42 year old Angelica Marina

00:18:32.540 Francisco obtained the identity of a U.S. citizen back in 2011. She used the false identity to get a

00:18:38.520 passport and vote in the 2016 and 2020 primary and general elections. The DOJ says the penalty for

00:18:45.440 aggravated identity theft is two years in prison. The maximum penalty for false statements in an

00:18:50.780 application for a passport using the passport and a false claim of citizenship for voting is a total of

00:18:56.800 25 years in prison. That's one woman in Alabama, not exactly a swing state, one person who's been

00:19:05.020 prosecuted. Now, there are many more examples of this that are reported. This is just the latest one.

00:19:10.540 But you know what the libs are going to say? They're going to say, oh, you know, this is just a

00:19:13.280 one off. Well, we don't really investigate this sort of thing. By definition, this is a very difficult

00:19:18.720 crime to pin down. It's it's an act of deception that half of our country and most of our political

00:19:29.120 class is intentionally obscuring. The reason that the libs are importing these foreigners into our 1.00

00:19:35.280 country is to rig elections in the long run. Many of them have said that openly. So it's hard to figure

00:19:42.500 it out. But just look at her behavior. This wasn't just a woman who accidentally showed up to a polling 1.00

00:19:47.840 place one day who just didn't know that foreigners are not allowed to vote. She obtained false documents.

00:19:54.500 Now, you might say, well, she obtained the false documents potentially just to get a job. Yeah,

00:19:59.160 maybe. And why'd she go vote? If you are illegally in this country and you you need to get a false 0.99

00:20:06.840 document to get a job, which is not true. Many times you can just get the job without a false

00:20:11.160 document. But let's say that's why. Why would you imperil your freedom, your ability to skirt the law

00:20:19.680 even by going to vote? And then if you're voting, why would you specifically vote in these presidential

00:20:27.540 election years, these significant years, 2016 and 2020? Do you think someone maybe suggested that she

00:20:35.320 do that? Do you think she was guided to do that? Democrats have some of the best get out the vote 0.95

00:20:40.000 operations in history. Democrats are really good at shenanigans and rigging elections. You think maybe

00:20:47.340 there were one or two other people involved in this who planted the seed in her head? Maybe you

00:20:51.720 helped her to do it. That's going on in Alabama. What's going on in the swing states where Democrats

00:20:59.840 are investing virtually all of their resources in turning out votes, whether or not those votes are

00:21:07.580 coming from eligible voters or not? But it's not happening. Okay, this person did it. Okay, that person

00:21:14.580 did. Okay, it happened once or twice. But hey, come on, don't believe your lying eyes. Now, the biggest

00:21:20.700 problem with mass migration is that it changes the constitution of the country. I'm not saying the

00:21:27.140 capital C constitution. I'm not talking about the piece of parchment, we the people, in order to form a

00:21:31.780 more perfect union. I'm talking about the lowercase c constitution, how the country actually works.

00:21:37.200 In terms of your day-to-day life, you probably don't refer to the constitution very much. The laws

00:21:45.340 that actually govern you are fairly removed. The customs, the behaviors, the workplace regulations,

00:21:51.380 all the things that actually govern your life, they're pretty removed from the constitution.

00:21:56.740 And as the country increasingly has a population that was not raised here, doesn't have parents from

00:22:04.100 here, doesn't have that generational knowledge of the country or that reverence for, say, the founding

00:22:09.380 era or the era of the Mayflower, which is a great cigar brand, by the way. People who probably couldn't

00:22:16.880 pass a civics class, that's going to change things. And it's not even just the migrants. I don't want to 1.00

00:22:20.420 blame the migrants for everything. As that tightly knit, well-oiled machine of the state becomes less 1.00

00:22:31.500 clear, more ambiguous, filled with different people and multiculturalism. And even the native-born

00:22:36.120 population starts to lose its ability to, and its familiarity with the constitution. There's a

00:22:43.620 survey just came out, comes out every so often, the Annenberg constitution day civics survey.

00:22:50.020 This is to celebrate constitution day on September 17th, showed that a third of Americans cannot 0.95

00:22:55.960 correctly name all three branches of government. This is being reported as a positive too. They're saying,

00:23:01.200 look, almost two-thirds of Americans can name all three branches of government. This is the basic

00:23:06.380 structure of our government. A third of people in this country can't name the executive, the

00:23:14.900 legislature, and the judiciary. Now, how about as you get a little further into the constitution?

00:23:21.900 The First Amendment. Almost three-quarters of Americans know that that involves free speech.

00:23:26.700 So a quarter of Americans don't know that the First Amendment involves free speech.

00:23:29.380 But the First Amendment doesn't just involve free speech. It also protects freedom of religion

00:23:35.360 in as much as it does not establish a national church. Only 39% of respondents knew that.

00:23:44.340 Only 29% knew that it involves a free press. No surprise, we don't really have a free press in

00:23:49.520 America anymore. So the fact that some dusty old piece of parchment says we should doesn't really

00:23:54.720 impress anyone. 27% knew that it involves the right to assembly. 11% knew that the First Amendment

00:24:02.980 protects the right to petition the government. The right to redress grievances. 11%.

00:24:09.220 The vast majority, 9 in 10 Americans don't know that.

00:24:12.580 How about on the structure of government? The Supreme Court, these respondents were asked what they

00:24:21.020 think about the Supreme Court. 69% supported a mandatory retirement age. 68% are in favor of term

00:24:26.560 limits. This is some of the gutting of the court that the Democrats have been pushing. If those sorts of

00:24:32.140 things went into effect, that would be another aspect of the so-called court reform that these

00:24:40.640 respondents wanted was an ethics reform, a new code of ethics imposed by the legislature or the

00:24:46.320 executive that would fundamentally disfigure the separation of powers, the balance of power within

00:24:54.100 our government. The vast majority of Americans support that kind of stuff. In the long run,

00:25:01.580 the uppercase C Constitution is not going to save us. It can protect us for a little while when people

00:25:07.520 get more vicious and more ignorant. It can protect us for a little bit because there are still

00:25:10.860 institutions of power and power. The law still has force within a functioning government. The law is a

00:25:16.560 tutor after all. But in the long run, that piece of paper is not going to matter at all.

00:25:22.240 If the lowercase C Constitution is not strong, is not coherent, is not virtuous, is not fastidious,

00:25:31.840 is not responsible, any number of adjectives. If the lowercase C Constitution is not strong,

00:25:40.260 you can have all the pieces of parchment in the world. It will not protect you.

00:25:43.940 There's so much more to say. First, though, go to roe.co slash Knowles. Gentlemen, have you heard of

00:25:50.460 Roe Sparks? This dual action prescription merges the powerhouse ingredients found in generic Viagra,

00:25:57.200 Cialis, Sildenafil, and Tadalafil into one formidable treatment. It's not merely about

00:26:54.860 with a provider. My favorite comment yesterday is from Reinforce. Oh, Reinforce. That's good.

00:27:01.300 Says, inflation now from 2020 to today is worse than inflation from 2008 to 2020. That's an amazing

00:27:09.840 number. I talked about inflation yesterday on the show. 12-year period of inflation. Immediately after a

00:27:17.780 major economic crisis, lots of tumult in the country, ton of spending on foreign wars,

00:27:22.540 racking up a lot of national debt. Even during that tumultuous time, 12 years,

00:27:28.540 that does not get us close to the inflation that we have seen just under the Biden-Harris

00:27:36.060 administration. That is radical, dangerous stuff. I thought when we left Los Angeles, we moved here

00:27:42.540 to Tennessee. One of the pitches was, hey, guys, you'll all get a 13% raise. Not because Jeremy was

00:27:48.400 going to pay us anymore, but because the cost of living. Well, not even, forget about the cost of

00:27:53.980 living, because there's no state income tax. To say nothing of the cost of living would be more than

00:27:58.220 a 13% raise. That gets totally wiped out in just three and a half years, wherever you live.

00:28:05.740 The cost of goods and services, your household expenses, have probably gone up something like 22%,

00:28:11.240 maybe more, depending on where you live in the last three and a half years.

00:28:17.460 How much longer is that going to go on? And can people really vote for more of that?

00:28:22.600 Now, speaking of threats to our country, the Washington Post has identified a new threat

00:28:27.940 to America. And yes, it does involve Donald Trump. Of course it does. The threat that the

00:28:34.640 Washington Post identified is that Donald Trump is upset that he was shot in the head.

00:28:42.700 That's the threat. The threat is not that Trump was shot.

00:28:47.060 The threat is that Donald Trump is making a little bit of a deal out of having been shot.

00:28:54.140 That's a big threat. Trump said during the debate, I probably took a bullet to the head because of the

00:29:01.500 things that they say about me. Now, this was after the Libs had called him a threat to democracy.

00:29:08.200 He said, a threat to democracy? Are you kidding me? I took a bullet for democracy. I probably took a

00:29:11.720 bullet to the head because of the things that they say about me. And that's obviously true. 0.97

00:29:16.060 Biden launched his presidential campaign on Trump posing an existential threat to democracy.

00:29:20.060 The Libs have been calling this guy Hitler 2.0 for 10 years now, almost. 0.91

00:29:25.020 That justifies assassinating Trump. If someone is Hitler, which in our modern mythology and our common

00:29:31.400 parlance means the incarnation of absolute evil, if someone poses an existential threat to your

00:29:35.680 country, that justifies assassinating that person. That justifies exceeding the bounds of the law and

00:29:45.760 even the Constitution. What Trump said was 100% right. Here's what the Washington Post says about it.

00:29:53.860 Trump said this at the ABC debate, referring to the bullet or bullet fragment that authorities said

00:29:59.120 grazed his right ear. Listen to this. This guy gets shot in the head. And the only reason that it

00:30:03.220 didn't blow the back of his skull off is because he turned at the very last minute, totally unexpectedly,

00:30:08.500 20 degrees. And the FBI has stated with full certainty, he was shot with a bullet. And these people

00:30:15.700 say, yeah, he was grazed by a bullet or bullet fragment. It grazed his ear.

00:30:21.300 Whatever little respect you have for the establishment media, including the Washington Post,

00:30:28.920 one of the most prestigious outlets, it is not little enough. You do not hold this institution

00:30:37.520 in nearly enough contempt. They go on. Researchers who study political violence said these words,

00:30:43.580 images, and emotions have the dual effect of mobilizing Trump supporters to vote for him

00:30:48.220 and delegitimizing the outcome in case he loses. They also said Trump's emphasis on the shooting

00:30:54.340 could inspire some of his supporters to resort to violence in his defense. But I'm going to pause

00:30:58.260 here. I don't think Trump has emphasized the shooting nearly enough. I want Trump to be talking

00:31:04.760 about this shooting every single day. The man was nearly assassinated weeks ago after the Democrats

00:31:11.760 justified assassinating him, after they tried to throw him in prison multiple times, they're still doing

00:31:15.620 that. After they tried to impeach him on nonsense charges twice, after they weaponized the government

00:31:21.880 against Donald Trump for his entire presidency and before his presidency when they spied on him during

00:31:27.640 his campaign. And the Washington Post has the temerity to say Trump's emphasis on the shooting

00:31:35.220 could inspire, in theory, his supporters to resort to violence. That Trump's opponents have been

00:31:41.100 resorting to violence for almost a decade now. They burned half the country down during 2020.

00:31:47.200 And then some guy in Pennsylvania decided to take the Democrats seriously and go try to blow the

00:31:52.700 guy's head off. But you see, the real threat is that if Trump mentions that he got shot in the head,

00:32:00.520 then in the future, a conservative, a Trump supporter might shoot somebody, maybe hypothetically

00:32:07.940 in the future. This is the real life, earnest instantiation of the Norm MacDonald bit where he

00:32:15.160 said, my biggest fear is that a Muslim terrorist would get a dirty bomb and set it off in Manhattan, 1.00

00:32:20.780 killing tens of millions of people. Because then the backlash against peaceful Muslims would be terrible. 1.00

00:32:25.320 And when he said that, his guest on the show kind of took it seriously. Yeah, yeah, you're right.

00:32:30.600 Well, that joke is now the reality of the Washington Post. They go on. Just one more

00:32:34.480 little bit here. It is creating a permission structure for at least some people to want to

00:32:40.400 take matters into their own hands, said Matt Dalek, a George Washington University professor

00:32:45.080 who studies the conservative movement and is working on a book about presidential assassination

00:32:49.460 attempts and political violence in the 20th century. It operates, this is the line,

00:32:53.980 this is the piece de resistance. It operates similarly to the big lie about the 2020 election

00:33:00.420 being stolen and therein lies the danger to the country. So Trump's saying, hey, they shot me in

00:33:05.180 the head. Not even that. Hey, I was shot in the head. This joker, Matt Dalek from George Washington

00:33:13.720 University says that's akin to the big lie. But hold on, it's not a big lie. Trump did get shot in the

00:33:19.540 head. We all saw it on TV. And the Secret Service and the FBI have all said that that happened and

00:33:25.940 we all saw it. So hold on, if the libs are saying that a thing that we all know with 100% certainty

00:33:33.400 happened is like the big lie, it's kind of making me think that the other things they call a big lie

00:33:38.800 maybe are not lies. Maybe they're the truth too. Oh, this is Donald Trump has to stop telling people

00:33:44.480 that he almost had his head completely blown off. He has to stop talking about how he took a bullet

00:33:49.380 through the ear. Because, because what? Why don't you want us talking about that? It's pretty big news.

00:33:58.540 It's the biggest political news since 9-11, frankly. Why don't you want us talking about that?

00:34:04.680 Washington Post, liberal professors, kind of weird. Kind of weird, I would say.

00:34:11.060 Now, we do have some political news about the rest of the race. Bobby Kennedy Jr. has come out. He's

00:34:20.240 changed his view on how his supporters should play their hand from now until November. You know,

00:34:28.160 previously he said, if you're in a red or blue state where it's not going to matter, vote for me.

00:34:33.660 Now I'll get some delegates or I'll get some electors potentially. And who knows, maybe if it's a

00:34:40.460 contested election, it'll be thrown to the house and then maybe they'll pick me to be president. So

00:34:43.700 yeah, vote for me where it doesn't matter. But in the swing states, vote for Trump. He's changed that

00:34:47.980 view. He says, no, forget about that. Just vote for Trump.

00:34:51.240 Hey, everybody. A lot of people are asking me if they live in a red state or a blue state,

00:34:55.980 should they still be voting for me? What about swing states? The answer is easy. No. No matter what

00:35:02.880 state you live in, you should be voting for Donald Trump. And let me tell you why. That's the only way

00:35:08.120 that we can get me and everything I stand for into Washington, D.C. and fulfill the mission that

00:35:14.080 motivated my campaign. A disputed election result would be a disaster for our divided nation.

00:35:20.200 President Trump needs to win in a landslide, both in the Electoral College and in the popular vote.

00:35:25.860 He can't do that unless my supporters join him.

00:35:29.360 Okay. Good stuff. This is the right thing to do. You don't want there to be any question in the

00:35:38.420 minds of RFK Jr. supporters about who to vote for. And furthermore, you don't want to give fodder to

00:35:43.720 the Democrats who, if they do manage to lose the electoral vote, but win the popular vote, because

00:35:49.300 just New York and California alone would probably give them the popular vote. You don't want them to

00:35:53.220 do as they frequently do, try to change the rules willy-nilly and say, no, no, no. But if the

00:35:58.440 presidential election were conducted in some totally different way, then we would have won.

00:36:03.760 Which is a dubious claim anyway, because if the election were conducted by popular vote,

00:36:08.100 then the Republicans and Trump would campaign in New York and they would campaign in

00:36:12.340 California. They would campaign, they would win a lot of those popular, they probably would win the

00:36:16.480 popular vote. It's just a different, it would just be a different way to campaign. It'd be a

00:36:19.980 totally different race. So good stuff from Bobby Kennedy. Trump, for his part, has just come out.

00:36:25.460 It just broke yesterday, late afternoon. And he said, there will be no third debate. Why? Because

00:36:33.240 he says, this is on True Social, when a prize fighter loses a fight, the first words out of

00:36:36.840 his mouth are, I want a rematch. Polls clearly show that I won the debate against comrade Kamala Harris,

00:36:41.440 the Democrats' radical left candidate, on Tuesday night. And she immediately called for a second

00:36:45.180 debate. She and Crooked Joe have destroyed our country with millions of criminals and mentally 1.00

00:36:48.360 deranged people pouring into the USA, totally unchecked and unvetted, with inflation bankrupting our

00:36:52.980 middle class. Everyone knows this. It was discussed in great detail at the first debate with Joe and

00:36:57.360 the second debate with comrade Harris. She was a no-show at the Fox debate. She refused to do NBC 0.74

00:37:01.800 and CBS. Kamala should focus on what she should have done during the last almost four-year period. 0.97

00:37:06.720 There will be no third debate. That's that. I was in favor of another debate because I think Trump is

00:37:14.460 pretty good at it. I think Kamala is relatively bad at it. She's better than Biden because she has a pulse, 1.00

00:37:21.060 but she's not very good. She didn't provide substance. But Trump is claiming the win here.

00:37:26.840 And he's claiming it as a clean win. The pundits didn't think it was a win for Trump.

00:37:31.960 The political nerds didn't think it was a win for Trump. But then in the days that followed,

00:37:36.740 everyone from Fox News to the New York Times, to the liberal New York Times said actually

00:37:40.180 undecided voters, the people who are being, who are the target audience for these debates,

00:37:44.600 they're not convinced by Kamala. I have confidence in Trump that he would absolutely crush it

00:37:51.180 vis-a-vis Kamala at a third debate. But maybe it's a negotiation tactic. Maybe he's bluffing. But

00:37:58.400 as of now, he said what he said. The debate's over. No more inflection points. It must mean

00:38:04.460 that the Trump camp thinks the polls are trending in their direction and the momentum is on their side

00:38:10.240 and they're on a path to victory. Did you know that over 85% of grass-fed beef sold in U.S.

00:39:21.400 of Daily Wire Plus Insider. Take it away. Hey, Michael. So I've been a conservative my entire life,

00:39:28.840 but I'm actually wanting some advice on how to avoid the slippery slope of becoming a liberal

00:39:34.880 feminist because I kind of feel like the Republican Party is constantly attacking women like me. 0.99

00:39:41.240 So I'm in my early 30s. I'm single. This is not by choice. This is certainly not how I envisioned my

00:39:47.380 life, but here I am. I'm just trying to make the best of it. I've had a very successful career that

00:39:53.240 honestly I'm very proud of, but I am so tired of conservative media putting down women like me 0.99

00:39:58.620 because I didn't ask for this. I'm tired of my family and friends asking me when I'm gonna get

00:40:04.160 a man, when I'm gonna get married, because all it's doing is putting salt in the wound, and now I find

00:40:10.320 myself owning this feminist narrative to defend myself and honestly make myself feel better. And

00:40:16.340 now I'm even tempted to vote for RFK Jr. just because J.D. Vance's comments really hurt me.

00:40:21.460 So how do I avoid the slippery slope I'm on?

00:40:25.080 Totally fair. Many such cases, if it's any consolation, a lot of people are in your shoes.

00:40:31.600 And I agree with your point that the Republicans and the conservatives should not be mocking women

00:40:39.260 who find themselves in their 30s or 40s or whatever and life got away from them and they

00:40:46.020 believed a bunch of nonsense that they were taught from the minute they were in kindergarten

00:40:50.460 all the way up to present, that they should put off getting married, put off having kids,

00:40:54.040 just focus on a career, and then they come to regret that. That's a big social problem. And as you say,

00:41:00.100 a lot of women who are in this position, I know many of them actually, will say, 1.00

00:41:04.040 I didn't ask for this. Even liberal women. I know a lot of conservative women who have that feeling, 1.00

00:41:09.220 but a lot of liberal women too, will say, huh, this isn't so great. Wow, I actually, hmm. 0.99

00:41:13.540 They won't quite go so far as to say that the conservatives were right, you know, in pointing

00:41:17.800 this out. But they'll say, well, you know, I kind of regret this. And so you got to speak to people

00:41:24.880 where they are. Recognize this is a complex social problem that's been building for many, many decades,

00:41:30.360 especially beginning around the 1960s, though it has seeds earlier than that, with the explosion of

00:41:38.800 marriage in America because the libs changed the laws around divorce and they changed the culture 0.96

00:41:45.600 and the laws around weird sex stuff. And it resulted in a lot more babies being killed, a lot more

00:41:51.020 marriages ending in divorce, and many fewer marriages taking place anyway. I'm going to be speaking at the

00:41:57.060 Faith, Family, and Freedom event tonight in Texas. And I'll be talking about this very issue,

00:42:02.800 actually, because family's right there in the middle of it. So I agree. You know, with the JD

00:42:06.300 thing, I think it's been blown way out of proportion by the media. So if all you heard was some clip on

00:42:10.240 TV and you hear this constant drumbeat that JD Vance hates childless cat ladies or something, 1.00

00:42:15.480 you know, I guess you could believe that. But JD is not talking about women who have been

00:42:19.880 damaged by our liberal culture. He's talking about a type, you know, a kind of a caricature

00:42:24.400 of not your type, of the women who insist this is a good thing, who lead other women to a place that

00:42:34.980 involves a lot of unhappiness. So, you know, I get it. I mean, you know, today would JD have changed

00:42:42.220 the joke he told on some podcast or whatever? Like maybe, I guess he would have. But I just don't,

00:42:47.320 I don't think the way that's being presented by the establishment media for the purposes of this

00:42:51.400 election campaign are really reflective of what he believes or even has really said. You know,

00:42:56.900 no one is more pro-family and trying to, you know, change this awful liberal culture

00:43:01.720 than, than JD Vance in the Senate. So I'm with you. I feel you. The way politics is the art of

00:43:08.880 inclusion. And I think there are a lot of people right now who have been failed by liberal policies

00:43:13.600 and by liberal culture. And they're, they're ripe for the taking. If, if you can first convey to people

00:43:18.620 that you like them, you don't hate them. You know, you like them, you care about them. You want

00:43:24.100 them to have good lives and you want us all to have good lives. And that involves, uh, uh, reorienting

00:43:30.060 our politics toward the common good and into a place that is grounded in objective reality and

00:43:36.000 therefore will be more conducive to flourishing. I agree. Next one. Hey, Michael, uh, I've watched your

00:43:42.880 show for quite some time and have recently been converting to Catholicism because, well, I won't 0.97

00:43:49.160 get into that, but, um, one thing that I find difficult is forgiving myself, I guess. I've, um,

00:44:01.320 attempted suicide many times in the past and, um, just thinking about the way that affected the

00:44:09.000 people that care about me. And I just, I find it difficult to forgive myself. And lately I act as

00:44:19.020 though I don't deserve to exist. I spat in God's face and I guess I don't know how to overcome this.

00:44:27.980 Thanks. Sorry to hear of your troubles. Uh, the, the practical advice, especially you mentioned

00:44:35.160 when you're, uh, converting to Catholicism is, uh, confess your sins and trust in God's mercy.

00:44:42.500 It's about it.

00:44:45.520 It's simple, but it's not simplistic. You know, it's, that's how it works. You say, uh, you have

00:44:50.920 trouble forgiving yourself. You're falling into one of two errors that, that, uh, attend, uh, guilt and

00:44:57.920 shame, which is what some people fall into the error. Many people fall into the error of just

00:45:03.540 dulling their natural sense of shame and guilt at their own sins. And they say, oh no, I shouldn't

00:45:09.000 feel shameful, any shame or any guilt about that. No conscience. Shut up. I don't know. That's fine.

00:45:14.000 I can go do all those things. That's no big deal. And that, that kind of hardens you over time.

00:45:18.760 Uh, but then the flip side of that is a guilt and shame that, uh, will not accept God's, uh, mercy.

00:45:26.760 But you say, cause you say you spit in God's face. Yeah, you, yeah, you do. So do I, so do my

00:45:36.300 producers. So, so do all of us. We do that all the time. We, cause we sin and to sin is to spit

00:45:45.080 in God's face. You know, when you confess, you will say, you know, um, I detest my sins above all

00:45:51.240 things because I dread the loss of heaven and the pains of hell. That's part of it. But most of all,

00:45:56.140 because they offend you, God, who are all good and deserving of all my love, but I don't give you

00:45:59.640 all my love. I think about myself very selfish all the time. And, uh, even the way you're speaking

00:46:04.720 now, you're saying it's, you know, I can't forgive myself. That's well, that, that is in itself is

00:46:08.420 selfish. You talk about, you've attempted this extraordinarily selfish act of suicide and that

00:46:14.540 that's hurt people around you. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. You've done very selfish, bad things

00:46:19.960 and God will forgive you. Isn't that great? You've done very, very bad things that nearly

00:46:27.100 killed you, but you survived. Isn't that great? Isn't that great? You know, the reaction to that

00:46:35.000 is, wow, you're right. I have done really horrible things. I, to bring up a little Shakespeare, I could

00:46:42.780 accuse myself of such things would be better. My mother had never born me, but even with all of that,

00:46:47.520 God will forgive me. If I am truly repentant, I'm really penitent. I confess my sins. God will

00:46:54.700 just forgive me. And I survived. You could have died. You could be dead right now, but you're not,

00:46:58.540 you're alive. That's a wonderful thing. You thank God for that. But don't, don't fall into the error

00:47:05.280 of, of recognizing the, the sin, you know, you're convicted of your sin and you're recognizing that

00:47:11.960 awful selfishness and then just turning it, translating it into another kind of selfishness.

00:47:17.520 You've been given a great gift. So just all you have to do is say thanks. Basically it's good.

00:47:26.020 Many of the greatest saints have done a lot of bad selfish things. It's not, it's not that they're

00:47:34.100 just made of better stuff, that the saints are made of better stuff than you and me. It's, it's God.

00:47:39.840 They got, they accept God's grace. It's not, they didn't, they didn't earn it, you know? So that's

00:47:46.180 good. It's good. You're in a, you can see more clearly the effect of sin. And as a result, you can

00:47:54.720 see more clearly the abundance of God's grace. That, that in itself is, that is a special kind of grace.

00:47:59.420 So you confess, you confess your sins. It has a psychological effect. It has a spiritual effect

00:48:04.260 too. And you rely on God's mercy. That's all we can do. Next question.

00:48:09.260 Hi, Michael. I'm preparing to propose to my girlfriend of 10 months. We've talked about

00:48:15.320 getting married in the past, so she knows it's coming, just not when or how. I designed her

00:48:20.160 engagement ring myself and I'm having it fabricated right now. I want to have the ring engraved on the

00:48:24.760 inside. Since our marriage is going to be founded on Christ, it seems only fitting that this engraving

00:48:29.680 should be a verse from Holy scripture rather than just our names and the year that we were married.

00:48:34.380 I'm having trouble deciding what verse to pick. I'm currently leaning towards John 13, 34, where

00:48:40.160 our Lord says, as I have loved you, so you must love one another. I believe this reiterates the

00:48:46.060 fact that the love we feel for each other is exemplary of the love that Christ has for us,

00:48:50.560 his church. That being said, I still haven't decided and wonder if you have any suggestions.

00:48:55.680 Looking forward to your thoughts. Sincerely, one of your confessional Lutheran listeners.

00:49:00.020 You want to hear a confession? This is a confession that will also speak to my

00:49:03.600 self-centeredness at some times. When I got my wedding ring and I ordered it online and it said,

00:49:11.400 would you like it to be engraved? And I said, oh yeah, sure. But then, I don't know, I thought of

00:49:15.340 it like my class ring or like, I don't know. And so I just put my name in it, like in case I lost it

00:49:20.880 or something. Someone would return it to its owner. And I mentioned this to sweet little Alise at one

00:49:24.780 point. She goes, Mag, you put your name in your wedding? What about my name? Mag, are you kidding me?

00:49:29.760 You know, I said, oh, right. I probably should have done it. But I like the idea of a reference

00:49:34.140 to scripture. That's good. The other thing you could do is, this is a little bit more

00:49:38.760 traditional, but I really like this tradition. You could do JMJ. That's good. You could do this

00:49:44.120 even, I saw, I met someone the other day who embroiders a shirt. Some people put their initials

00:49:47.980 on their dress shirts and he puts JMJ. His initials are not JMJ. Looks like initials, but it's the

00:49:53.000 initials of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. I really like that. Very simple. And that's, you know,

00:49:58.000 it's, it's, uh, recalling the Holy family. It's, you know, it's tying your marriage to the Holy

00:50:04.360 family. And of course, to our Lord. And marriage is a symbol of Christ's love for his church. And

00:50:07.900 that pretty simple. So I like that. But the verse of scripture is good too. Just don't put your own

00:50:11.880 name in it because you will, your wife will be angry with you. Is your home's title still in your
