The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 161 - Trump’s Eerie Ability To Predict The Future

00:00:00.000 Donald John Trump, the voice of one tweeting out in the wilderness as President Covfefe's

00:00:06.280 critics continue to wind up with egg on their face and his own assertions keep asserting

00:00:11.240 themselves in reality. It's time to ask, has anybody else noticed that Donald Trump has an

00:00:16.920 eerie ability to predict the future? We will explain what that's all about. Then we will try

00:00:21.420 to predict the future. In November in America, in Ireland, for the Catholic Church, a lot of

00:00:26.700 predictions going on. Prognostication will abound. Finally, some very good news on the culture

00:00:31.520 front. We'll get into that later. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:00:42.200 We have got so much to get to today. We're going to talk about President Nostradonald and his bizarre

00:00:47.720 ability to predict the future. It is actually pretty eerie, but I think I have a theory on why

00:00:53.640 that is the case. We will watch clips going all the way back to the Comedy Central roast of Donald

00:00:58.780 Trump back in 2011. Nobody plays these clips, but they're quite prescient, actually. Before we do

00:01:04.960 that, I know what you're wondering. How do I get such a lovely shave? How do I just get such smooth,

00:01:09.800 soft skin like a baby's bottom? Dollar Shave Club. Dollar Shave Club is so, so good. It is the best razor

00:01:15.640 I've ever used. I love it. I can't stop talking about it. It delivers everything you need to look,

00:01:20.680 feel, and smell your best. I've talked about these guys for a long time. Dollar Shave Club has

00:01:27.400 everything you need to get ready in the bathroom. The razor, first of all, is fabulous, but they'll

00:01:32.940 give you Dr. Carver's Shave Butter, and it's not like, you know, they have that foamy stuff that it's

00:01:37.500 like too much, or they have that little gel that's like not for, you know, real burly men. The Dr.

00:01:43.080 Carver's Shave Butter are so, so good, and they have everything you need. They have shampoo,

00:01:48.620 they have conditioner, body wash, tooth braced, hair gel, and they have that thing. It's really

00:01:56.240 useful. It's very important. In Europe, they have something called a bidet, so when you're using the

00:02:00.860 facilities and taking care of yourself, you know, everything gets clean. Well, what they offer is

00:02:05.640 something called a One Wife Charlie's. I'll let you envision what that is. Very effective. Here is a

00:02:11.200 great way to save a bunch, to try a bunch of Dollar Shave Club products right now and save a bunch of

00:02:16.340 money. Don't say I never did nothing for you. I got my wedding coming up. I'm giving you a wedding

00:02:21.160 present. For just five bucks, you can get their Daily Essential Starter Set. It comes with the body

00:02:25.500 cleanser, One Wipe Charlie's, the world famous Shave Butter, and the best razor that they offer,

00:02:32.540 the Six Blade Executive. It's the best razor I've ever used. Keep the blades coming for a few bucks more

00:02:37.960 a month. Add in shampoo, toothpaste, anything else that you need in the bathroom. Don't have to worry

00:02:42.620 about going down to the drugstore or what I usually do, letting the blades rust over for six months,

00:02:48.700 and then I'm basically just using pure rust to shave my face. Don't be that guy. Let Dollar Shave

00:02:53.640 Club make it easy. Check it all out. DollarShaveClub.com slash Covfefe. C-O-V-F-E-F-E. DollarShaveClub.com

00:02:59.860 slash Covfefe. You know, predicting the future, it's been on my mind a lot recently. I'm about to head

00:03:06.700 out to New York. I'm going to be there getting ready for my wedding. I've got my bachelor party coming up

00:03:11.520 this weekend. So if you don't see me next week or any other time in the future, you know, I'm sorry.

00:03:16.280 I had too much fun at my bachelor party. Not a bad way to go out, but I'm thinking about the future a

00:03:20.860 lot. And have you noticed this? I have actually noticed this over the past nine months. Donald

00:03:26.400 Trump has this weird ability to predict the future, or at least it seems like he's predicting the future.

00:03:32.240 And it's much more pronounced because all of his opponents have a total lack of ability to predict

00:03:38.480 the future. In fact, all of their predictions do not come true. They make these totally

00:03:43.140 insane predictions. These, we're certain it's definitely going to happen. Trump can't win.

00:03:48.860 99% sure. None of this is going to, and then none of them come true. And what Trump says,

00:03:52.880 which we all say is crazy at the time, that seems to happen. Here's just a little reminder from Nancy

00:03:57.860 Pelosi. At this news conference and on the floor, Democrats talk about this bill often in very

00:04:03.880 apocalyptic terms, but isn't really what's going on is that many people are getting a very modest tax

00:04:10.000 cut and some people are getting a tax increase while a lot of this is also going to business,

00:04:14.880 but it's not the end of the world? No, it is the end of the world. This health care,

00:04:18.720 the debate on health care is life death. This is Armageddon. This is a very big deal.

00:04:26.000 No, this is Armageddon. No, this is, no, let me just, it is the end of the world. I don't want

00:04:32.480 to. So that was Nancy Pelosi. And okay. So now we've lived through it because the trouble with

00:04:38.460 predictions, this happens in political predictions and in sports predictions is these guys that go on

00:04:43.660 TV, Nancy Pelosi gets up there in front of the cameras and they make their predictions and then 0.98

00:04:48.060 they don't come true. And then we keep listening to them for some reason. So we got, you know, Nancy

00:04:52.840 Pelosi says this is Armageddon and yet we still listen to her. We still believe her. We still

00:04:57.100 give her the floor. And it isn't just Nancy Pelosi. Paul Krugman predicted that the markets would 1.00

00:05:02.280 plunge if Trump won the election. What, how he said the markets are going to plunge. What happened?

00:05:07.240 Trump won the election. The markets rose. Why don't we do, we even handle this in sports and sports.

00:05:11.860 They say this is no, this could never happen. Then it happens and we keep listening to them the next

00:05:15.660 day. There's a Bloomberg headline from 2016. The headline was Citigroup says a Trump victory in

00:05:21.440 November could cause a global recession. What happened? Not only was there not a global recession,

00:05:27.840 but the global economy rose. In fact, the IMF gave credit to Donald Trump for that jump in the

00:05:33.880 global economy. Okay. We still read Bloomberg though. We still listen to Citigroup. Politico predicted

00:05:39.180 quote, wall street is set up for a major crash. If Donald Trump shocks the world on election day

00:05:44.700 and wins the white house, major crash, huh? Just didn't happen. And they weren't set up for a

00:05:49.500 major crash because the markets rose. Mitt Romney, Mitt Romney. So it's not just these crazy lefties.

00:05:54.780 It's Mitt Romney. Who's at least nominally a Republican. I know he invented Obamacare and he 0.98

00:05:59.380 spends most of his time criticizing the effective conservative Republican president, but you know,

00:06:04.160 he's nominally at least a Republican. He said Donald Trump's domestic policies would lead to

00:06:08.580 recession. What's happened? We've, we've had one of the greatest bull market runs in history.

00:06:13.520 That happened last year. None of the experts predicted it, but that's exactly what happened.

00:06:19.580 Six trillion dollars worth of wealth created, particularly for the 55 million Americans

00:06:24.620 with 401k plans. The, the other 25 million Americans who have IRAs, 20 million who have

00:06:31.480 company pensions, stock ownership plans, and for virtually everybody else because of tax reform.

00:06:37.940 So even if you're not among the many, many, many millions of people who have some stake in the

00:06:42.580 market. First of all, you do because the, you're in the economy, but also because of tax reform,

00:06:49.320 everybody is rising. The median household income rose pretty significantly within the last year.

00:06:58.140 That's the median household income that just reported very recently. We were told by Donald

00:07:03.160 Trump's economists and by Donald Trump himself, we'll, we, we won't see 3% economic growth anymore.

00:07:08.460 Those are the old days. Now we have the new normal. It can't happen. What happened under Donald Trump?

00:07:13.340 We got, we saw greater than 3% economic growth and it isn't just on these election predictions. 0.90

00:07:20.140 Donald Trump came out and said that MS-13, they're animals, that, that awful gang that kills children 0.99

00:07:26.540 and rapes people. Their, their motto is something like kill, rape, control. So maybe there's some other 1.00

00:07:32.640 permutation of those three, but that's their motto, right? They said, those guys are animals. And the left 0.73

00:07:36.480 said, they're not animals. They're people. How dare you? They start defending MS-13. Not one week

00:07:42.860 later, an MS-13 member named animal is sentenced to 40 years in a federal prison for murdering a 15

00:07:51.260 year old boy. This seems a little weird, doesn't it? You see the whole thing is about animal. And then

00:07:57.880 not a week later, the guy's name is animal. That's his street name. And he goes to prison for 40 years.

00:08:02.700 You saw this. Donald Trump was talking about the, during the campaign, the building the border wall

00:08:09.000 and all those awful criminals coming over from the Mexican side of the U S border. And they said,

00:08:14.860 how do you couldn't, what are you talking about? There's no crime. There's no crime. And then the

00:08:17.300 Katie Steinle incident erupted right after that. He seems to just be able to predict one step ahead,

00:08:24.240 see exactly what's happening right in the future. In 2013, Donald Trump tweeted out, quote,

00:08:30.240 Wiener is gone. Spitzer is gone. Next will be lightweight attorney general, Eric Schneiderman.

00:08:36.580 Is he a crook? He's worse than Spitzer or Wiener. So he tweets that. And I don't know, 0.93

00:08:40.520 people say, what's Schneiderman? Who cares? What are we worried about Schneiderman? Just five years

00:08:45.200 later, this happened a couple of weeks ago. Eric Schneiderman was forced to resign within hours

00:08:49.940 after allegations came out from multiple women that he abused them sexually in the throes of sex. 0.87

00:08:56.820 He got drunk and was battering them and hitting them. This is a guy, he was a full throated Me Too 0.97

00:09:01.240 supporter, right? Nobody could have expected who could have predicted this wonderful feminist, 1.00

00:09:06.060 this great Democrat politician in New York was actually beating women against their will 0.95

00:09:10.000 when he got a little too drunk in New York. Who predicted it? Donald Trump did. How on earth

00:09:16.600 does president Covfefe, the voice of one tweeting in the wilderness, how does he predict all of these

00:09:22.080 things? Go back even further. Don't even worry about 2013. 1987, Donald Trump took out a full

00:09:28.880 page ad in the New York Times. It said, there's nothing wrong with America's foreign defense policy

00:09:33.780 that a little backbone can't cure. Now, it seemed like he was taking a shot at the Reagan administration

00:09:40.200 here. And you got to say, we did win the Cold War. So I don't know if that is exactly the best way to

00:09:45.400 read that. But the statement taken on its own is true. There's nothing wrong with America's foreign

00:09:50.800 policy that a little backbone can't cure. And we look around and we see that in action.

00:09:55.300 He did this to Iran. He did this to Korea. And experts have lost their minds. When he said to

00:10:01.320 North Korea, a little rocket man is short and fat and I've got a button on my desk with nuclear 1.00

00:10:07.160 weapons and mine works. When he said that, the experts lost their mind. They said, he's belligerent. 0.82

00:10:12.240 He's bellicose. He's going to throw us into World War III. If he rips up the Iran deal,

00:10:16.780 we're going to go into World War III. It's certain to happen. I have a PhD and I wear a tie 0.96

00:10:21.360 and my glasses are horn-rimmed. You have to believe me. It's going to cause the end of the

00:10:24.980 world. Here, you just see a little bit from what the mainstream media said when he did all of those

00:10:29.480 things.

00:10:30.380 Bob Corker screaming at the top of his lungs that we are at risk of World War III.

00:10:34.220 The most important political news of the weekend and today also happens to be the most important news

00:10:40.980 in the world because it's about nothing less than World War III. And this news doesn't come

00:10:49.120 from some conspiracy theory website. This news comes from the chairman of the Senate Foreign

00:10:52.880 Relations Committee, Republican Senator Bob Corker. Senator Corker shocked Washington yesterday by

00:10:57.720 saying what virtually everyone in Washington was thinking, which is always, always the best way

00:11:04.440 to shock Washington by saying something that everyone is thinking, but not saying.

00:11:12.200 I can't, I don't even know where to begin with how wrong that is. But just to begin, just first,

00:11:18.660 nobody in Washington has ever thought anything without saying it. The most dangerous place on

00:11:24.060 planet Earth is between Washington politicians and a TV camera. None of them are having these grand

00:11:29.700 thoughts and not saying them. They're craven, they're crass, and they're publicity hounds.

00:11:33.200 So that's to begin. Most people in DC say things without thinking at all. That does happen.

00:11:39.140 People will say things without thinking about them. They won't think things without saying them.

00:11:42.580 But everybody's thinking this. Everybody's, look, everybody's saying it. Just take Lawrence O'Donnell

00:11:47.700 on his own points. Everybody's saying that we're going to have World War III. Everybody's thinking

00:11:52.660 it. All of the smart people, all the people in ties who have really strong jaws and comb their hair

00:11:57.620 the right way. And, you know, they wear ties on camera. They're all, and they go on TV sometimes.

00:12:02.300 They're all saying it, so it has to be true, except that they're all wrong. Except it turned

00:12:06.480 out they're all wrong. We will get to even more of this in one second. Before that, though,

00:12:11.200 this ties in beautifully, actually, because sometimes we need to get advice.

00:12:14.960 We need to get advice from people who actually know what they're talking about. Not people who

00:12:18.780 pretend to know what they're talking about. People who actually know what they're talking about.

00:14:08.420 those people didn't talk to Software Advice. They didn't talk to anybody who had good advice.

00:14:11.900 They just consulted their own empty brains, you know, their own, they're just rattling around in 0.80

00:14:16.560 their heads. So they got that wrong. How about, oh, let's pull it back forward to 2018. Just this 0.83

00:14:23.740 Russia investigation, all of the nonsense and the lies and the fake news and the bad predictions.

00:14:29.060 How many times have you turned into the news? You've tuned in and they've said, this is it for Trump.

00:14:34.240 Now we got him. Now, now we got him. We, Michael Flynn had lunch. He had borscht for lunch. So now we

00:14:43.440 got Trump, you know, Stormy Daniels, a porn star, a currently working porn star who has admitted to

00:14:50.940 lying publicly in official documents and has been a Democrat operative for years and tried to run for 0.98

00:14:56.980 the Senate as a Democrat and is an acknowledged and admitted public liar. Stormy Daniels says something

00:15:03.780 they got Trump. They got him. Now they've got him now. Uh, and then that, and they never have

00:15:08.520 Trump. Do you notice that they always say that we're going to get him and then it never happens.

00:15:12.580 Does it on all? And on all of this, it seems that Donald Trump has been right the whole time.

00:15:18.300 Donald Trump has been right the whole time. Obama and his bureaucratic crones have been caught

00:15:23.380 lying multiple times. Donald Trump said that Barack Obama wiretapped his campaign and I'd like to,

00:15:29.860 okay, so he said, uh, we've been wiretapped. When he tweeted it, he used quotation marks,

00:15:36.860 wiretapped. The importance of this is that it shows as Donald Trump usually does when he speaks,

00:15:43.260 he can speak using metonyms or synecdoche or many literary devices that perhaps he's unaware he's

00:15:49.420 using. But he even used that phrase because I don't think Donald Trump was alleging that Barack

00:15:54.340 Obama personally went into Trump tower and installed a little device on his actual telephone,

00:16:00.700 right? Nobody thinks that that's what Donald Trump was saying, but all of the people who want to prove

00:16:06.000 Trump wrong, even though Trump was right, they say, well, he didn't wiretap him. Right. Well,

00:16:11.240 Donald Trump also said Obama did it. Does anyone, does anyone think Donald Trump actually alleged

00:16:16.220 Barack Obama broke into Trump tower? No, he's speaking metaphorically and using metonyms.

00:16:21.560 And the Obama administration did surveil his campaign. They didn't just surveil some aids,

00:16:27.340 although they did surveil aids, but they surveilled the head of his campaign, the chairman of his

00:16:31.520 campaign. This is what we heard when this came out. This was from the FBI quote, with respect to the

00:16:35.880 president's tweets about alleged wiretapping directed at him by the prior administration,

00:16:40.800 I have no information that supports those tweets. And we have looked carefully inside the FBI.

00:16:45.660 The department of justice has asked me to share with you that the answer is the same for the

00:16:49.800 department of justice and all its components. The department has no information that supports those

00:16:55.360 tweets. That's what we heard, right? Except that's not true. We later learned that Barack Obama was

00:17:01.820 directly surveilling, Barack Obama's administration was directly surveilling the Trump campaign

00:17:06.760 chairman, Paul Manafort, and likely picked up the calls of the president himself. How about now?

00:17:12.260 Because the big story in the news is the deep state gunning for Trump. And what does this mean?

00:17:16.160 Does this mean that there's some guy with a mustache twirling his mustache around sitting

00:17:19.940 at the FBI, some regular agent who's doing his job and just trying to protect the country?

00:17:25.240 Of course not. That's not what that means. But what it does mean is there is a bureaucratic creep here.

00:17:30.020 There is political creep. We know that Barack Obama weaponized the federal government and the

00:17:34.400 bureaucracy to attack his political opponents. I'm a member of an organization that was the victim of

00:17:39.020 this. So is it really so crazy to suggest that there was a White House influence on the FBI in

00:17:46.940 these investigations? As a matter of fact, we know from the leaked Peter Strzok texts that the White 0.64

00:17:52.620 House was running the investigation, right? Now, even if that's contradicted later, we have that coming

00:17:58.620 out that the White House is influencing these investigations. We went through the timeline a bit

00:18:02.120 yesterday. The Wall Street Journal lays it out very well. The FBI claims that they didn't open up the

00:18:08.540 probe into Donald Trump and Russia collusion or whatever until July 31st, 2016. Now, that was the

00:18:15.940 claim. And Donald Trump came out and he said, BS, I don't believe it. All the smart people said,

00:18:20.520 you have to believe the FBI. Come on, you have to believe the FBI. You can't believe Donald Trump.

00:18:23.840 He's a crazy guy. So then the New York Times reports on Friday, the FBI's top secret informant, 0.99

00:18:30.700 Stephen Halper, met with Donald Trump aide Carter Page only after a July 31st launch of the probe.

00:18:37.720 See, keeps the FBI's timeline. See, it keeps the Obama administration timeline. The Washington Post

00:18:42.500 went further in their flacking. They said, nah, Halper and Page didn't meet until August 31st,

00:18:47.980 until early September. They didn't know well into that probe. Now, Carter Page says something

00:18:53.260 different. Carter Page says that he met with the FBI informant, Halper, in mid-July, early to mid-July.

00:19:00.900 And we know this actually happened because it occurred at a very public symposium

00:19:05.500 at Cambridge University in the UK. Page further says that he was invited to that symposium

00:19:10.900 at the end of May, end of May or early June. Okay. Now, I know that this is one reason, by the way,

00:19:17.620 why people aren't talking about this too extensively on the news is it's kind of hard to wrap your head

00:19:23.220 around. There are so many moving parts. When you get into nefarious politics, that's what happens.

00:19:27.480 But, uh, Halper, the FBI informant, was a central figure in that symposium that Carter Page was

00:19:34.160 invited to. The symposium was titled 2016's Race to Change the World. Another central figure at that

00:19:39.680 symposium was Sir Richard Dearlove, who spent four decades working for British intelligence MI6. He was

00:19:45.940 the chief of MI6 from 1999 to 2004. So we've got an FBI informant who worked, uh, in, for the federal

00:19:54.360 government and for the intelligence agencies for decades. We then have a British intelligence agent

00:20:00.220 who'd worked for decades. That means that Dearlove, by the way, worked with Christopher Steele, who ran

00:20:06.260 the Russia desk for MI6 and compiled the famous dossier that was funded by Hillary Clinton and by

00:20:12.300 the Democrats. Whoa, that's a lot of coincidences. So they all just coincidentally, just, hey, coincidentally,

00:20:18.820 they all invited this Trump campaign aide to this symposium before the, uh, the Russia probe allegedly

00:20:26.200 began into Donald Trump. And it's just a coincidence probably, right? That's just a, that, look, sometimes

00:20:33.040 decades-long intelligence officers from multiple countries, sometimes they just invite members of

00:20:41.460 political campaigns whom they're surveilling to, you know, to, uh, academic conferences, who knows?

00:20:46.580 And then coincidentally, two months later, they start surveilling him, right? That's just what

00:20:49.780 happens. I don't know about that. Now, does this mean for sure that, uh, Barack Obama was sitting

00:20:55.960 there saying, we're going to spy on Trump. We're going to kill him. We're going to kill him. No, 1.00

00:20:59.440 doesn't mean that for sure. We don't want to jump the gun. We want to be serious here. Does it mean

00:21:03.260 we should investigate? Yeah, I think we probably should investigate. I think that's probably a good idea

00:21:07.460 because now the left is denying it. And Scott Adams summed it up perfectly. He had a great tweet on all

00:21:12.940 of this. He tweeted out, quote, four things to understand about spy gate. That's what they're

00:21:18.000 calling it. Number one, there was no spy in the Trump campaign. Number two, the spying that did

00:21:25.600 not happen was totally justified. Number three, it would be bad for national security to identify the

00:21:33.020 spy who doesn't exist. Number four, the spy's name is Stefan. Is that a way? I don't know. Some of those

00:21:40.440 seem to share that. That's basically the argument from the left now. It's a really hard to believe.

00:21:47.160 Um, we'll see where that investigation goes. I will just say though, all the people who go on TV

00:21:53.540 with the ties and when with the sharp, you know, with my glasses, basically there's Rachel Maddow. 0.89

00:21:58.300 They go on and they give the expert opinion. They've been wrong the whole time. Not only have

00:22:02.300 they been wrong, we know that they've lied publicly. We know that they've lied on the record.

00:22:05.760 We know that people from the administration, the Obama administration have lied.

00:22:11.140 Donald Trump has a pretty good track record here. I don't know. I don't know which side I'd lean

00:22:16.260 toward if I were a gambling man, which I am. And I have the check from Ben to prove it.

00:22:19.880 Uh, I don't know. I'd probably put my bets on president Kofete and this will get back. So

00:22:24.220 we have to answer this question. How, why is it that Donald Trump, a gigantic reality TV star,

00:22:31.000 casino real estate mogul wins the presidency on his first try? How did that guy, why is he a prophet?

00:22:38.840 Why, how come that guy can predict the future, but all of the experts with PhDs can't predict the

00:22:43.340 future? It all goes back. Well, it goes back further than this, but it certainly goes back

00:22:47.660 to the 2011 comedy central roast of Donald Trump. This is sort of a long clip, but it's really

00:22:52.220 important. And people haven't dug this one up in a while. This thing is so rich with clues as to why

00:22:58.460 Trump has succeeded in politics. Here it is. I speak of the atrocities that we as a nation

00:23:04.800 must endure like the Jersey Shore. A piece of advice, my greasy friend.

00:23:16.380 You don't need to put all of that product in your hair. You just don't. Look how great my hair looks

00:23:25.080 and I don't use anything. And it looks very good. What's the difference between a wet raccoon

00:23:33.500 and Donald J. Trump's hair? A wet raccoon doesn't have $7 billion in the bank.

00:23:42.420 Very funny. Okay. Very funny. America is going through tough times and we all need to laugh. True.

00:23:57.160 I know that better days are ahead. If we believe in ourselves and the way I believe in myself,

00:24:08.580 and I really do believe in myself, then come June, if I decide to run, you'll have the great pleasure

00:24:18.000 of voting for the man that will easily go down as the greatest president in the history of the United

00:24:27.560 States. Me, Donald John Trump. God bless America and good night. Good night.

00:24:38.920 There is so much there. This was not in 2015 even. This was not before this recent run. This was in

00:24:46.240 2011. This is in 20, because he was considering running in 2012. And I actually just remembered this.

00:24:52.520 He said in some interview, might've been as part of this roast. He said at the time, he said, you know,

00:24:57.080 if I choose to run for president, I'm going to do a lot better than all you people think I'm going to

00:25:01.700 do. And we all, you know, we all laughed at him at the time that thought President Donald Trump,

00:25:05.780 that was a joke, right? It was a joke in movies. People joked about it as a punchline.

00:25:09.760 And there's so much here. There's so much political skill. And that's, I think, why he

00:25:14.100 seems like he can predict the future. You know, he's having fun. He's joking around with the

00:25:19.160 celebrities who are on the dais. There are a lot of celebrities on the dais. There's Snoop Dogg,

00:25:23.360 the family guy, guy, Seth MacFarlane, Lisa Lampanelli, a ton of people, the Jersey Shore

00:25:29.280 guy, Mike, the situation. And he's there and he's joking around and they're joking around with him

00:25:33.400 because in those days it was okay to joke around with Donald Trump. It wasn't, you know, now you're

00:25:38.380 not allowed to if you're a Hollywood celebrity. Now you have to pretend you hate him. But, you know,

00:25:42.220 until five minutes ago, all of Hollywood loved this guy. He was a king of Hollywood. So he goes out

00:25:47.660 there. He had some good lines. He had a line about Snoop Dogg. He said, Snoop Dogg is a

00:25:51.140 do-rags-to-riches story. Yeah. A line about Lisa Lampanelli. She's a comedian whose whole joke 1.00

00:25:57.320 about her is that she's not the, not the most svelte lass in the world. You know, she's not 0.92

00:26:03.220 terribly thin. And so people make fat jokes about her and she loved it. She's laughing, clapping,

00:26:08.740 you know, that was all nice. He's making jokes about the other people, how they're basic cable

00:26:14.660 hacks, you know, talentless people. And he's this big star. Also true in some ways about certain 1.00

00:26:20.740 people up there. But what we see here is he jokes about himself easily. He jokes about, you know,

00:26:26.320 people say that he can't joke about himself. Donald Trump can't take a joke. That isn't true at all.

00:26:31.360 They say Donald Trump is a narcissist, you know, like Barack Obama's a narcissist. No way. No way. 0.71

00:26:38.340 I mean, does Donald Trump have an ego? Yeah. Trump has an ego. I don't think anybody's denying that.

00:26:43.560 But is he a narcissist? No. And here's the difference. An egotist, hard charging, puts his

00:26:50.920 name on buildings, says his name a lot, gets it out there, pushes back, won't, you know,

00:26:56.680 won't take the hits. He's going to go, he's going to punch, right? If he, if he takes a joke,

00:27:01.000 he's going to give that joke right back. What the narcissist does is he takes it so personally.

00:27:07.700 With Donald Trump, I don't think it's personal. I don't think he takes, I don't think he goes home

00:27:11.260 and cries and he says, oh, he didn't like me. Or he gets really angry. He says,

00:27:14.520 though he did, they, I'm going to get him back. Oh, no, I don't think it's that at all. I think

00:27:18.900 he has a great ability to, uh, compartmentalize, to abstract himself from situations. And that's

00:27:24.860 why he has some pretty cold thinking because it can't be both, right? He can't be coldly strategic

00:27:28.820 and this angry narcissist. Barack Obama seems like a narcissist. I mean, he wrote two books about 0.98

00:27:34.560 his favorite subject by the time he was in his twenties or something like that. Uh, there were,

00:27:39.300 I think the second memoir came out in his thirties that there is a certain narcissism there. It's

00:27:44.980 the difference I suppose is that Donald Trump writes his own press releases and Barack Obama

00:27:49.680 believes his own press releases. And those are two different things. You can even see it. You see it

00:27:54.940 in the way that Donald Trump talks. So he leans into the money thing. He's always talking about how

00:27:58.980 much money he has, you know, the differences, the hair, the, the wet raccoon or whatever he says

00:28:04.240 isn't worth $7 billion, but he pushes you past the sale. When he talks, he says, if I run,

00:28:10.480 you will have the pleasure of voting for the greatest president in the history of the United

00:28:17.120 States. And what he does, this is another thing Scott Adams has mentioned, though not on this

00:28:21.920 particular point, just the category, Donald Trump pushes you past the sale. So instead of saying,

00:28:27.340 I'm going to win the presidency. Okay. If he said that, you say, no, you won't. But he says,

00:28:33.240 I will be, not only will I be the president, I will be the greatest president, not just in the

00:28:39.820 recent years, I'll be the greatest president in the history of the country. Not only that you will

00:28:44.160 have the, you will have pleasure voting for me. It will be a pleasure to vote for me. And the reason

00:28:49.180 you do this, it's the same reason Trump talks about the wall. And he says, uh, Mexico is going to

00:28:54.140 pay for the wall. He says it not because Mexico is going to pay for the wall. Who cares if Mexico 1.00

00:28:58.740 pays for the wall? It's not that expensive. What he's doing is he's establishing in your mind that

00:29:03.420 the wall will be built. The wall is going to be built. And so that's not up for debate. All that's

00:29:09.520 up for debate is who's going to pay for it. I will be the president. That's not up for debate.

00:29:13.340 All that's up for debate is, will I be the greatest president in American history or just the

00:29:18.160 greatest president in the last 20 years or something, right? That's what he's pushing. I will be the

00:29:22.660 president. The only question is, are you going to have pleasure voting for me or great pleasure

00:29:27.100 voting for me, right? He does this. It's a really strong tactic of his. And by the way, he did better

00:29:33.600 at this roast than most of the other performers because he's funnier because he's more in the

00:29:37.220 culture. The other guys were funny. I don't mean to denigrate them. I'm not, I don't want to be a

00:29:40.580 hack here. They are funny people. Seth MacFarlane's a very funny guy. Snoop Dogg actually was pretty

00:29:45.020 funny. Mike, the situation wasn't, you know, it's not his strong suit, but, uh, but a lot of them

00:29:50.700 were funny, but Trump was better. Why? Because people relate to Trump and because Trump knows

00:29:55.620 people. He talks about this. He said, one of the secrets to my success is I really know people.

00:29:59.520 I'm a people person. So I think here we have the answer to our question. Can Trump actually

00:30:05.060 predict the future as he plugged in to, you know, the cosmos and the natural order of the universe?

00:30:10.540 I don't know about that, but why does it seem like he can predict the future? It's because

00:30:15.480 he can put his finger on the pulse of the culture. He knows people. He talks to people. He's not

00:30:21.320 isolated. He doesn't live in a little bubble in DC. He doesn't just go to lunches at the Brookings

00:30:25.700 Institution and talk about how sad it is that people don't hold their champagne glass in the

00:30:30.200 right way anymore. It's why he's a good salesman. I mean, he's the greatest salesman in the modern era.

00:30:35.780 He is all sales, right? He sells everything. He sold his, he sold real estate and he made incredible

00:30:41.640 deals on real estate in New York basically by just tricking the media by, you know, it's great in

00:30:47.640 that book I just read by Conrad Black, Lord Conrad Black, Donald J. Trump, a president like no other.

00:30:53.560 We had him on the show this week, I guess, this week or last week. He talks about how when he put

00:30:58.240 the Commodore deal together, he just did it by sheer tyranny of will. He knows people. He knew how the

00:31:02.960 city would react to this, how the state, the, this company would react to this, how the media would

00:31:08.560 react to this and he just put it all together and he did it. He's totally in the culture so he can

00:31:12.460 shape the culture. This is why Andrew Breitbart was right. He's, if he's in the culture, if Donald

00:31:17.760 Trump is in the culture, it means Donald Trump is in the present. Most people are living in the past.

00:31:22.620 Most people are fighting the last war, especially in politics. People who are living in the past think

00:31:28.120 people who are living in the present are seeing the future. Most people are fighting the Mitt Romney

00:31:33.020 campaign. By the way, now people are fighting the, the 2016 race. They're trying to fight the 2016

00:31:38.320 race in 2020. 2020 is going to be different and you're going to see this all over again. You're

00:31:42.560 going to see it's going to look like Donald Trump's predicting the future again. That's not because

00:31:46.520 he's predicting the future. It's because he's living in the present. I've got to say goodbye to

00:31:49.900 Facebook and YouTube. We have a ton more to get to. You cannot miss it. Very important points. Look,

00:31:55.420 I'm going to be gone for a week on my honeymoon. So I got to give you all the good covfefe now.

00:31:59.520 Otherwise, Ben is going to just depress everybody and he's going to say like, things aren't that great.

00:32:04.000 He, he, he doesn't snort nearly as much covfefe as I do. So you're going to want, you know, at least,

00:32:08.740 at least you'll have a Clavin to say that everything is tickety boo, but we got to get

00:32:13.560 all that covfefe out right now. If you're on dailywire.com, thank you. You help us keep the

00:32:17.740 lights on. You keep covfefe in my cup and I'm going to bring this cup to the beach on my honeymoon.

00:32:22.000 And I'm going to, I'll probably get arrested for that, but I need it. I, cause you're not allowed to

00:32:26.080 drink open containers of covfefe on the beach. That's not allowed. It's against the law. You got to put it in

00:32:30.780 the appropriate FDA approved vessel for leftist tears. So what do you get? It's $10 a month,

00:32:35.880 $100 for an annual membership. You get me, you get the Andrew Klavan show. You get the Ben Shapiro show.

00:32:40.100 You get to ask questions in the mailbag, ask questions in the conversation. You should get

00:32:45.180 your questions in for this final, no, not final. I have one more before my wedding, but penultimate

00:32:51.700 free wedding mailbag. I'm probably going to be asking you questions. That's what I really need.

00:32:55.880 Uh, you will get this because none of that other stuff matters. This matters. The leftist tears

00:33:00.860 Tumblr because every time Nostradonald predicts the future, every time our great prophet, the one

00:33:08.220 tweeting out in the wilderness predicts the future, the tears are going to flow and you're going to

00:33:12.140 need this vessel. Go to dailywire.com. We'll be right back.

00:33:14.260 All right, we're back. And I'm glad, I'm kind of glad we put this one behind the paywall because

00:33:28.540 I have to criticize Bill Kristol. And I really like Bill Kristol personally. Bill Kristol was a

00:33:33.460 professor of mine for a summer in DC and I like him very much personally. He's a very nice guy.

00:33:38.740 These tweets though, these, you know, I've held off long enough. These tweets,

00:33:44.060 Bill Kristol tweeted the other day, he said, quote, one striking contrast between Reagan and Trump.

00:33:50.800 Reagan's conservatism was a youthful movement in spirit and often in fact fueled by hopefulness

00:33:56.100 for the future. Trump's conservatism is a reactionary movement of older Americans fueled 0.57

00:34:01.040 by anger and fear. You know, I've always been an old soul, I guess. I guess I've always been an old

00:34:07.840 so Kanye West maybe is very old too. Maybe Candace Owens or Charlie Kirk. Are they all old? All the,

00:34:14.160 all of the YouTube people who are, are they all really old? Is that it? I don't think so. I don't

00:34:19.880 think that's true at all. In fact, I think the oldest Trump supporter I know is Andrew Klavan and

00:34:24.720 he behaves like a younger man than I do. You know, the latest I ever stay out when I go out at night is

00:34:30.500 when I'm hanging out with Drew. The Trump movement is a youthful movement. It's energized and it's

00:34:34.760 exuberant. Donald Trump won more millennials than John McCain or Mitt Romney. Donald Trump did just

00:34:40.400 fine with the youths. You know, I, I worry, I fear without descending into psychobabble that Bill

00:34:47.520 Crystal might be projecting here. Angry, old, fearful. I don't know. Does that describe Kanye West or does

00:34:56.460 that describe President Trump's detractors? Ronald Reagan's movement was youthful. That's absolutely

00:35:01.820 true. Ronald Reagan's movement happened almost 40 years ago. Well, it really had happened over 40

00:35:07.260 years ago because it began in the sixties and seventies. Now the Ronald Reagan movement is older.

00:35:12.940 It's older, but now we need something new. Ronald Reagan solved the problems of his time. He did his

00:35:18.640 part. He kept the faith. That's what he said. When he said farewell to Americans, he said, we did it.

00:35:24.300 Let them say of us, we did it. We kept the faith. We did our part. We can't dig up the body of

00:35:28.700 Ronald Reagan and have him become the head of the Republican party and the president again.

00:35:32.660 You can't exhume poor Gipper. Gipper did a good job. Let him rest. Let him have his eternal reward.

00:35:38.520 Now we're dealing with something new. We're dealing with something new and a reactionary

00:35:42.700 movement of older Americans fueled by anger and fear oppose him. But that's, that's no legitimate

00:35:49.000 reason. The remaining anti-Trump right is living in a fantasy world. One, because it barely exists

00:35:55.280 anymore. Of all of the, the more prominent Trump critics on the right, we had, Ben was one during

00:36:01.740 the campaign. Certainly he was always the most reasonable about this. It kills me to be too

00:36:06.380 complimentary toward the big boss on the show, but he was always the most reasonable. He wore,

00:36:10.480 he put that MAGA hat on the day that Trump nominated Gorsuch, right? He wore that MAGA hat,

00:36:15.280 but even some of the holdouts, the people who, who still just really were constantly negative

00:36:20.040 toward Trump. Jonah Goldberg said the other day that he would vote for Donald Trump. That was pretty

00:36:24.780 good. And look, there's news out today that I don't even want to tell you about. I actually do.

00:36:29.900 I've tried to avoid talking about this on the show because I don't want to jinx us. I don't want to

00:36:34.180 jinx November. Bloomberg is reporting that the blue wave may be dissipating. The headline today is

00:36:40.820 Democrats prep for battle, not surfing a blue wave. Remember though, all those really smart guys in

00:36:45.680 suits with glasses on TV and they go on TV. So, you know, you have to believe them. All those guys told

00:36:51.040 us it was going to be a blue wave. Republicans were going to lose the house and the Senate and

00:36:55.300 Donald Trump was going to be kicked out of office. And what are we seeing now? We're seeing maybe

00:37:01.660 there are some cracks. Now, I don't want to tell you, don't tell anybody. I know that only the most,

00:37:06.700 you know, the, the fringiest, most extreme people of the vast right-wing conspiracy tune in here.

00:37:12.440 So I feel like I can tell you guys, but don't tell anybody else. Historically speaking,

00:37:17.600 we should lose this election in November. The Republicans should lose the house, if not the

00:37:21.200 Senate also. I don't know if that's what we see on the ground. I don't know if that's what we see

00:37:25.640 on the culture because everything's getting better. I don't tell them that because conservatives have

00:37:29.860 to go out for us to win it. So don't tell anybody, but I dare, I say I'm hopeful. Things are looking

00:37:36.220 good right now. So, you know, that's not an excuse to, uh, to go out and do battle in November,

00:37:40.700 but things are looking so good. Even Glenn Beck, who was a big, he was a big anti-Trump. He was a

00:37:48.060 Trump critic for a long time. I love Glenn Beck. Glenn Beck, this is such a beautiful day.

00:37:53.580 He came around. Here's the video. Enjoy. Here's why I'm predicting a 2020 win. When I saw yesterday,

00:38:01.580 the, how the press was all reporting the same damn story that Donald Trump was calling MS-13 gang 0.94

00:38:11.340 members, they left that out of the story, animals, and they were spinning it as if he was saying that 0.97

00:38:18.400 about all immigrants, I'd had enough. I'd have enough. Media, if you can get me, Glenn Beck, 1.00

00:38:27.760 to do this. There it is. And in case you're only listening to us on radio, I just donned a red

00:38:37.680 make America great again hat. If you can drive me to the point to where I say, you know what? I've

00:38:47.100 had enough. I'll vote for him in 2020. Gladly. I'll vote for him in 2020 and not really even on his

00:38:55.800 record, which we'll talk about here in a second, is pretty damn amazing.

00:39:00.720 Pretty damn amazing. Yes, that is. That video is pretty damn amazing. I love it. I love it.

00:39:06.360 Because where is it? The anti-Trump right is basically just gone now. It's basically over,

00:39:11.080 save for a few tweets. The remaining anti-Trump stuff on the right and, and even largely on the

00:39:16.500 left, it comes from fantasy. And this is the cultural side of things. We're gonna have to get

00:39:19.980 to this in the last five minutes here. A spell has been broken. The cultural hypnosis has cracked.

00:39:27.160 To, to, to use the phrase of Kanye West, the consciousness has shifted. Here's an example.

00:39:32.180 Kendrick Lamar. Kendrick Lamar is some popular musician. I take it. I'm using those words loosely.

00:39:38.900 He invited a white fan on stage at one of his concerts. He asked her to sing his song. Then he

00:39:44.900 decided to publicly shame her for singing the lyrics, which he wrote. Here's the clip.

00:39:50.920 What's your name? Delaney. Make some noise for Delaney right now. 1.00

00:39:59.100 Yes, Delaney. 0.97

00:40:01.280 She said, where we started at?

00:40:14.100 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,

00:40:18.300 wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:40:29.840 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:40:35.240 Will's just really cool, bro. You have to work.

00:40:37.740 You got to blink one single word.

00:40:39.660 No. Oh, I'm sorry.

00:40:41.300 Dad, do you?

00:40:42.420 You did it.

00:40:43.600 I'm so sorry.

00:40:44.560 It is painful to watch because it was obviously a setup. I mean, it's just ridiculous. Do you see 0.57

00:40:51.180 she goes, she's having fun. She thinks she's still in it, right? And then she goes, I'm sorry,

00:40:54.120 I'm sorry. I didn't know. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. So disrespectful to his fans. He put

00:40:58.220 the words in the song. It's like every third word in his songs. By the way, he won the Pulitzer

00:41:02.580 prize for literature. He won the Pulitzer prize. I just, that's, that's what happened in recent

00:41:08.660 years. That's what's happened to our culture. That's a sidebar. It's outrageous. It's ridiculous.

00:41:13.400 You look up there and you, you just feel so bad for her. He invites her on stage. He says, 0.82

00:41:17.900 sing the lyrics that I wrote. And then she sings the lyrics that he wrote. And then he calls her

00:41:23.360 a racist basically and publicly shames her. So, so wrong. Even Whoopi Goldberg agrees on this,

00:41:28.300 by the way, Whoopi Goldberg on the view. And I don't look to the view for wisdom, but Whoopi

00:41:32.720 Goldberg on the view said, that's ridiculous. It was wrong for him to do it. He shouldn't have done 0.82

00:41:35.800 it. And you know what? Most people agree with her and with that opinion. There are two explanations

00:41:42.060 that we could believe for why and how that woman sang the N word in this song. Here's one 1.00

00:41:49.380 explanation. This, this is crazy. This is my conspiracy theory. That he wrote the lyrics

00:41:53.780 and asked her to sing them. Okay. That's my crazy conspiracy theory. The other one is that

00:41:59.360 she hates black people. It's gotta be that, right? Nobody actually thinks that. Nobody thinks 1.00

00:42:04.900 this woman has animus for black people and that's why he's getting that flack. I, you know, the, 1.00

00:42:10.580 it's really, really ridiculous. We have so many, so little racial animus today that we have to 0.85

00:42:16.960 invent it. We actually can't, there's so little racial animus that we just have to make it up

00:42:21.540 out of whole cloth. It's just a fantasy. This ties in with our theme of Trump predicting everything

00:42:25.180 because the NFL has now banned kneeling for the flag and the national anthem. This was another one,

00:42:31.020 you know, people were doing it and they, they were, they were banning the flag or they were

00:42:35.100 kneeling for the flag and they were saying, because racism is so awful in America, we're going to

00:42:39.320 disrespect the American flag. So there was a lot to deal with there. There's a lie. I don't know if

00:42:43.680 I agree with this or that or that. That's crazy, but you certainly wouldn't disrespect the flag,

00:42:47.580 which gives you the right to protest, which gives you the right to self-government.

00:42:51.780 So NFL now has, has banned kneeling for the flag. By the way, it was already banned in the game

00:42:57.800 operations manual, which existed long before this hullabaloo, the game operations manual for the

00:43:03.000 NFL read, the national anthem must be played prior to every NFL game and all players must be on the

00:43:08.680 sideline for the national anthem. During the national anthem, players on the field and bench area should

00:43:14.240 stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, refrain from talking. The home

00:43:18.980 team should ensure the flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches.

00:43:22.940 We continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country.

00:43:26.500 Failure to be on the field by the start of the anthem may result in discipline such as fines,

00:43:30.940 suspensions, and forfeiture of draft choice for violations of the above, including the first

00:43:36.280 offense. It was announced today, teams will be fined by the league if players go on the field and

00:43:41.680 kneel. Now they're letting them stay in the locker room if they really want to, but if they go and

00:43:45.700 kneel, they'll be fined by the league. This isn't about the great patriotism of the NFL. I don't know

00:43:51.120 that they care at all about the country. This is about money and this is about reality. And Donald Trump

00:43:55.380 knows a lot about both of those things and brags about it a lot. You know, the kneeling thing

00:44:00.580 started a couple of years ago. It really took off last year. What happened? The NFL ratings tanked.

00:44:05.160 The 2017 audience was almost 10% down over the 2016 season. Trump brought the issue to a head.

00:44:11.640 Why? Because he's Nostradonald or because he's living in the present. He sees what's happening in

00:44:15.320 the culture. He was really strong on this issue. So now, in our last couple of minutes here, I'm going

00:44:20.220 to get to some predictions for the future that don't involve Trump or NFL players or Kendrick

00:44:24.740 Lamar or Nancy Pelosi or any of that. These are predictions that we're seeing over in Ireland.

00:44:30.380 They've been big news items. On Friday, Ireland is going to vote on a referendum to repeal the Eighth

00:44:35.800 Amendment to ban abortion. Ireland is a strong Catholic country. It's got some of the strictest 1.00

00:44:41.180 abortion laws in the world and there's a vote now to possibly ban it. Now, by the way, if you want an

00:44:46.480 abortion in Ireland, you just go to England and you get one. And that's what people do. But it's a 0.60

00:44:52.860 strong Catholic country. This is being called the end of Catholicism in that country. The polls are too

00:44:57.740 close to call. We're not really sure. There's been momentum on the side of pro-life. Hopefully, pro-life

00:45:03.540 will eke it out. But to call it the end of Catholicism is a little crazy. I was talking with our colleague

00:45:08.080 here, Paul Cardinal Bois, about this earlier. Ireland rejected its strict Catholicism a few years ago

00:45:13.700 when it voted to redefine marriage. To redefine marriage to include same-sex gay unions. And so

00:45:20.940 that's a question. Where is Ireland going? What is Ireland? Is it a Catholic country? Is it something

00:45:25.340 new? This brings us to the Pope. The big headline this week is the Pope is okay with being gay or

00:45:31.160 something. That was what the popular media were reporting. Because he told a victim of Chilean 0.65

00:45:35.660 sexual abuse, Juan Carlos Cruz, that God loves him. This was reported by the media as,

00:45:40.840 the Pope says it's totally cool to do a lot of gay stuff now. Pope loves gay sex, basically was the 1.00

00:45:45.960 headline. And it's a little more nuanced than that. They thought it was shocking that the Pope 0.99

00:45:50.820 would tell a gay man that God loves him. As though this were breaking with Catholic tradition. As though 0.86

00:45:55.840 previously the Catholic doctrine was God hates gay people. When, that has never been, that has never 0.97

00:46:02.540 once been the Catholic dogma or doctrine at all. God loves you. God loves you. If you're,

00:46:07.360 if you have any sort of assortment of proclivities in your mind, God still loves you. You know,

00:46:14.420 all man has fallen. People do many worse things than wink at the cute fella down the bar. You know, 1.00

00:46:22.740 there's a deception and fraud and all of this. God still loves you, still wants you to turn to him

00:46:26.360 and do the right thing. The culture is very confused. And so where's the prediction come in? Where's the

00:46:31.600 living in the present to seem like we're predicting the future? The Catholic church will either hold 0.91

00:46:37.160 true to its divine institution, to it, to the gospels, to the sacred tradition, or it would fade

00:46:41.920 away. That's it. It won't, it won't become some sort of Protestant church and it won't, like so many 1.00

00:46:51.320 mainline churches here, it won't say, okay, but now we're going to change this piece of 2000 year old

00:46:55.940 doctrine. No, it'll defend its doctrine and its truth, or it will disappear. Ireland will be 0.89

00:47:03.140 Ireland. It will be Catholic Ireland, the land, you know, the beautiful old Ireland, or Ireland 0.65

00:47:09.920 will cease to exist and something new will happen. But Ireland will be Ireland or it will cease to

00:47:14.840 exist. The cultural argument of all of Trump's talk about globalism and nationalism, this is what

00:47:20.340 that gets to. This is what it all is. Think of the Brexit. Britain will be Britain or there won't be

00:47:25.820 a Britain. There will be, there will just be a big blobby EU. Britain will be Britain or there

00:47:32.380 won't be a Britain. Americans will salute our flag and defend our country or they won't have a country. 0.73

00:47:37.160 We won't have a country. Trump said this on the trail. He said, we will, we, we either have a

00:47:42.940 country or we don't have a country. Irving Kristol said this in 93. Irving Kristol, Bill Kristol's father

00:47:48.240 said, conservative thought is religion, nationalism, and economic growth. The foundations of civilization,

00:47:54.300 religion, nationalism, and of course economic growth. It has to grow, it has to advance, or it'll wither

00:48:00.800 away and die. The foundations of civilization are worth conserving. Those are the sure predictions.

00:48:07.420 Those are the only sure. I'm not as good as Nostradonald, so I, those, that's all I can predict for sure.

00:48:11.820 We will defend our countries and our faiths, or we won't have any countries or faiths to defend.

00:48:17.000 That's it. I'll leave it to the other prophets who tweet out in the wilderness to predict which one

00:48:21.240 that will be. But it is up to us, and for that, I am hopeful. Okay. And I, you know, I got to,

00:48:26.980 I'm thinking about the future a lot these days, folks. Send in your questions to the mailbag.
