The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1664 - Tulsi, Patel, & RFK Jr. Confirmation RECAP In 5 Mins

00:00:00.000 Tulsi, Kash Patel, and Bobby Kennedy all face down hostile senators in their confirmation hearings.

00:00:05.680 Kash actually dropped a hard R. Things got very feisty.

00:00:08.800 President Trump weighs in on the deadly plane crash over the Potomac. 0.88

00:00:12.260 And because it is a day that ends in Y, a transvestite is caught trying to murder prominent Republicans. 0.98

00:00:19.100 I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:00:30.000 Welcome back to the show. We got a new Michael and dropping long form interview.

00:00:44.160 This one's going to be saucy, okay? This is going to cause people to react.

00:00:50.880 For better or worse, there's going to be rending of garments, gnashing of teeth.

00:00:54.980 We will have a trailer for that Michael and later in the show.

00:00:57.400 So if you want to see it, if you want to see all that stuff, you got to go to the Michael Knowles YouTube channel, smash, and subscribe.

00:01:03.960 Click that button, and then you will get all of the notifications, like videos about Kash Patel's hard R.

00:01:11.520 This was hardcore. Kash Patel is up for the FBI director.

00:01:17.760 Kash Patel is Indian of birth. I think he's, I forget the name.

00:01:22.880 The region of India that begins with a G. India is a very big place.

00:01:27.400 But as a result, he has faced sometimes a little bit of discrimination, at the very least, untoward comments.

00:01:34.140 And he did not hesitate to mention some of those comments during his Senate confirmation hearing.

00:01:40.260 Fortunately, Senator, yes. I want to get into those details of my family here.

00:01:44.000 Let's get into a few of them. Tell me about it.

00:01:47.160 Well, if you look at the record from January 6th, where I testified before that committee, because of my personal information being released by Congress, I was subjected to a direct and significant threat on my life.

00:02:03.240 And I put that information in the record. I had to move in that threat.

00:02:08.980 Go ahead.

00:02:09.480 I was called a detestable and I apologize if I don't get it all right, but it's in the record.

00:02:16.100 A detestable who had no right being in this country.

00:02:21.760 You should go back to where you came from. 1.00

00:02:24.440 You belong with your terrorist home friends. 0.99

00:02:28.720 That's what was sent to me.

00:02:30.680 That's just a piece of it.

00:02:32.440 But that's nothing compared to what the men and women in law enforcement face every day.

00:02:36.820 And that's why they have my support.

00:02:39.220 All right. We dipped the word, but I don't know why we did.

00:02:42.920 I mean, it's in the congressional record.

00:02:44.400 He said that he's been called a sand, N-I-double-G-E-R.

00:02:47.940 Why bring this up at the hearing?

00:02:50.360 He's bringing this up because this is going to be a tight vote.

00:02:53.680 There are a lot of Democrats, even some Republicans, who don't want Cash Patel to have this job for reasons that we'll get to momentarily.

00:02:59.420 And so he's going to play every card.

00:03:00.800 In this case, he's going to play the race card.

00:03:02.160 And I don't see why he shouldn't.

00:03:03.340 This reminds me of Clarence Thomas, who had been dragged through the mud by Joe Biden, in fact, during his Supreme Court confirmation hearing.

00:03:11.380 And then he finally put to rest all of the attacks on him when he sat before the Senate committee.

00:03:16.600 And he said, this is a high-tech lynching for uppity blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves. 0.88

00:03:21.420 And it's a message that if you don't kowtow to an old order, you'll be lynched. 0.98

00:03:25.480 You'll be digitally lynched rather than hung from a tree.

00:03:28.900 And the minute that Clarence Thomas said that, you can see Biden's head went straight down.

00:03:33.700 He said, uh-oh, I don't want any part of this.

00:03:35.820 And the vote went just fine for Justice Thomas.

00:03:38.860 So I think that's what Cash Patel is doing here.

00:03:40.620 And I think, okay, great.

00:03:42.800 He is drawing attention to a legitimate wrong from Congress, which is that Congress doxed him.

00:03:48.600 And then he had to move.

00:03:51.640 He was getting so much hatred after the Senate and congressional Democrats were ginning up all this hate against Cash Patel.

00:03:58.320 And just to drive the point home, he was called a sand, N-I-double-G-E-R. 1.00

00:04:03.100 All right.

00:04:04.100 Does that make a Democrat senator 5% more likely to vote for him?

00:04:08.240 Does that make a squish Republican senator 5% more likely to vote for him?

00:04:11.580 Great.

00:04:12.700 Great.

00:04:13.560 These hearings can be won or lost on the margins.

00:04:15.780 So I think he's throwing everything, including the kitchen sink.

00:04:19.220 That's great.

00:04:20.280 Now, the great assist yesterday during Patel's hearing came from Senator John Kennedy.

00:04:25.920 My publisher, my editor, some years ago, sent me a quiz to see if you could identify who said a given quote,

00:04:34.360 Senator John Kennedy or Foghorn Leghorn.

00:04:37.040 And I did not do that well on it.

00:04:38.820 Okay.

00:04:39.720 Senator Kennedy, he's got away with words.

00:04:42.240 And he set up Cash Patel so beautifully on the chief argument against Patel's nomination,

00:04:49.060 namely that Patel is a, quote, unquote, conspiracy theorist.

00:04:53.180 It sounds to me like we need to get some new conspiracy theories because all the old ones turned out to be true.

00:05:01.460 Facts matter, Senator.

00:05:03.040 Yeah.

00:05:04.140 I mean, conspiracy theorists are up something like 37 and nothing.

00:05:08.220 And you can tell Patel just wants to let Kennedy do it.

00:05:13.860 He doesn't want to say anything that could in any way seem like he's agreeing that conspiracy theories are true.

00:05:19.820 But it's obviously the case.

00:05:21.440 We were told, in fact, this conspiracy theory the New York Times and the CIA just admitted was true.

00:05:26.620 We were told that the COVID didn't leak from a laboratory in Wuhan.

00:05:30.920 We were told that it came from a bad batch of bat soup, maybe a nasty little pangolin over at a wet market. 1.00

00:05:36.200 And that wasn't true.

00:05:36.940 It obviously leaked from a lab.

00:05:38.340 The CIA agrees with that now, the New York Times.

00:05:40.180 So Kennedy's right.

00:05:41.380 I think it's about 37 to nothing.

00:05:43.140 The conspiracy theories are winning.

00:05:45.340 And I remember I was interviewing some years ago a very, very senior member of the Trump administration, the first Trump administration.

00:05:54.080 And we were chatting about the interview beforehand.

00:05:56.000 And I said, you know, I would like to hit this person, that person, and this person.

00:06:01.340 Are you comfortable if I raise these questions?

00:06:03.980 I don't want to put you in a bad spot.

00:06:05.320 And the person I was interviewing, very, very senior member of the administration, said, oh, I certainly think you should raise those questions.

00:06:12.580 I might not be able to answer, but you should definitely raise it.

00:06:15.020 So that was the impression I got here from Kennedy.

00:06:17.800 Kennedy was giving a big assist to Kash Patel.

00:06:19.820 I thought he did very, very well.

00:06:22.540 Now, Bobby Kennedy also showed up yesterday for his second day of confirmation hearings.

00:06:27.080 And he was locked and loaded.

00:06:29.020 He was a little bit scrappier yesterday, more inclined to fight, as we saw when he went after Bernie Sanders.

00:06:35.440 I'm going to make America healthier than other countries in the world right now.

00:06:39.940 Will you guarantee do what every other major country does?

00:06:43.640 It's a simple question.

00:06:44.500 And by the way, Bernie, you know, the problem of corruption is not just in the federal agencies.

00:06:51.920 It's in Congress, too.

00:06:54.000 Almost all the members of this panel are accepting, including yourself, are accepting millions of dollars from the pharmaceutical industry.

00:07:01.020 Oh, no, no, no, no.

00:07:02.180 And protecting their interests.

00:07:03.820 Oh, I thought that that would come.

00:07:06.360 No, no, no, no.

00:07:07.480 I ran for president like you.

00:07:09.460 I got millions and millions of contributions.

00:07:13.500 They did not come from the executives, not one nickel of PAC money from the pharmaceutical industry.

00:07:19.180 They came from workers. 1.00

00:07:20.000 In 2020, you were the single largest receiver of pharmaceutical money.

00:07:27.600 Because I had four contributions from workers all over this country.

00:07:30.640 Workers, not a nickel from corporate PACs.

00:07:34.000 Bernie, you were the single largest except for pharmaceutical dollars.

00:07:37.480 No, from workers in the industry.

00:07:39.780 1.5 million.

00:07:41.140 Yeah, out of 200 million.

00:07:43.360 All right, but.

00:07:44.720 All right, so Bernie actually had the best response that he could have had to this attack from Bobby Kennedy.

00:07:50.200 I got to give it to him.

00:07:51.600 Bernie's a shrewd politician.

00:07:53.160 So he said, no, I didn't get PAC money.

00:07:55.220 It wasn't from the executives.

00:07:56.640 I wasn't being bought off by lobbyists.

00:07:58.400 It was the workers in the pharmaceutical industry.

00:08:01.480 Now, that doesn't make it all that much better.

00:08:03.200 Obviously, Bernie Sanders is doing something that appeals to the workers in the pharmaceutical industry.

00:08:07.800 The pharmaceutical industry that needs reform, that most people agree needs reform.

00:08:12.340 So I guess it's a little better as a matter of optics that it's not just rich uncle penny bags from the C-suite at Big Pharma.

00:08:18.900 But still, I thought, even with Bernie's good response, I thought this was one of the best attacks from Bobby Kennedy.

00:08:27.500 He has struggled a little bit in these confirmation hearings.

00:08:30.400 But all in, I think he'll probably get through.

00:08:34.120 Which brings us to arguably the most controversial nominee that President Trump has put up.

00:08:40.220 Did you know that over 85% of grass-fed beef sold in U.S. grocery stores is imported?

00:08:45.540 That's why I buy all my meat from GoodRanchers.com instead.

00:09:18.640 Tulsi Gabbard, baby, here we go.

00:09:21.720 She made her debut yesterday at the confirmation hearings.

00:09:26.060 Eloquent, good-looking, intelligent, great record of service.

00:09:30.520 So, of course, the Democrats hate her guts.

00:09:32.400 Former Democrat, ran for president as a Democrat, was a Democrat congressman. 0.94

00:09:37.260 The Democrats hate her.

00:09:38.840 And some Republicans are skeptical of her, too.

00:09:41.560 Because she does not tow the old uniparty line for decades now in Washington.

00:09:47.300 There has more or less been a consensus on foreign policy.

00:09:51.300 Not always on domestic policy, but on foreign policy.

00:09:54.180 The old line in 2009, 2010 was,

00:09:57.120 they told me that if I voted for John McCain, we'd get another war in the Middle East.

00:10:00.020 And that's exactly what happened.

00:10:01.200 I voted for John McCain, we got another war in the Middle East.

00:10:03.580 The two parties have pursued the same policy.

00:10:08.720 And in part, this makes sense because nations and empires need to have grand strategy that doesn't change every four years.

00:10:13.940 But sometimes the American people put in a change agent.

00:10:17.280 And that's what they've done with Trump.

00:10:19.100 And Trump has followed that mandate from the American people.

00:10:22.260 He's nominated Tulsi Gabbard to be the top spy.

00:10:25.000 Here's why she says she wants the job. 1.00

00:10:26.220 The American people elected Donald Trump as their president not once but twice.

00:10:31.760 And yet the FBI and intelligence agencies were politicized by his opponents to undermine his presidency

00:10:36.940 and falsely portray him as a puppet of Putin.

00:10:41.100 Title I of FISA was used illegally to obtain a warrant to spy on Trump campaign advisor Carter Page

00:10:47.360 using a Clinton campaign-funded false dossier as their so-called evidence.

00:10:51.880 Biden campaign advisor Tony Blinken was the impetus for the 51 former senior intelligence officials

00:10:59.840 lettered dismissing Hunter Biden's laptop as disinformation specifically to help Biden win the election.

00:11:07.740 Former DNI James Clapper lied to this committee in 2013 denying the existence of programs

00:11:14.240 that facilitated the mass collection of millions of Americans' phone and Internet records,

00:11:19.320 yet was never held accountable.

00:11:20.480 Under John Brennan's leadership, the CIA abused its power to spy on Congress,

00:11:25.540 to dodge oversight, lied about doing it until he was caught,

00:11:29.660 and yet has never been held responsible.

00:11:33.120 Under Biden, the FBI abused its power for political reasons to try to surveil Catholics

00:11:37.660 who attend traditional Latin mass, labeling them as quote-unquote radical traditionalist Catholics.

00:11:44.900 Love her.

00:11:45.880 Greatest confirmation hearing for a DNI in my lifetime.

00:11:48.800 Since the DNI position has existed.

00:11:51.300 Really good stuff.

00:11:53.160 This is exactly what we need.

00:11:54.920 Of all the corruption in the government, the corruption in the intelligence community over

00:11:58.680 the last 10 years has been perhaps the most egregious.

00:12:02.560 You have the intel agencies and the DOJ conspiring with the Democrats to cook up a bunch of nonsense

00:12:09.860 on Trump to prevent him from being elected the first time.

00:12:12.220 Then you got the deep state and the intel agencies conspiring to try to undermine Trump's entire administration.

00:12:18.840 Then you got the deep state and all the intel agencies conspiring to suggest that Trump is some threat to national security in 2020.

00:12:26.760 They just keep doing it.

00:12:27.980 They've said this about Tulsi.

00:12:28.860 They've said Tulsi's a Russian asset.

00:12:30.580 Does Tulsi Gabbard sound like a KGB stooge to you?

00:12:33.660 She sounds really intelligent to me.

00:12:35.240 She sounds like she's identifying real problems, real problems that have been festering for decades.

00:12:42.760 The DOJ, FBI, CIA spying on people.

00:12:47.200 In the case, that last example she mentioned, spying on my churches, okay?

00:12:51.020 The traditional Latin mass, the mass of the ages that existed from roughly 600 A.D. as the major form of the Roman right all the way to after the Second Vatican Council and still exists in a lot of places.

00:13:06.280 Yeah.

00:13:08.340 Yeah, that bothers me a lot.

00:13:11.420 And so, no, I don't want some regular uniparty apparatchik.

00:13:14.440 I want Tulsi. 0.52

00:13:16.240 And the squish Democrats, or rather the hardcore Democrats are going to hate her. 1.00

00:13:20.100 The squish Republicans better tread very, very carefully. 0.99

00:13:24.460 The American people voted for change, specifically on the IC.

00:13:28.940 Vote against Tulsi at your own peril.

00:13:31.480 This is a big issue for people.

00:13:33.260 And if some Republican senators don't get the message, they're going to be left behind. 0.95

00:13:37.240 Now, in part, Tulsi was called a Russian stooge because she raised a point about the Middle East that is a point that I've made on this show for many, many years.

00:13:47.060 Namely, that while all the neocons and the establishment foreign policy folks have been clamoring for regime change in Syria, actually, that old Bashar Assad wasn't so bad.

00:13:57.260 And sometimes the devil you know is better than the devil you don't.

00:14:00.300 Here is Tulsi defending her record.

00:14:01.780 I shed no tears for the fall of the Assad regime.

00:14:07.080 But today we have an Islamist extremist who is now in charge of Syria, as I said, who danced on the streets to celebrate the 9-11 attack, who ruled over Idlib with an Islamist extremist governance, and who has already begun to persecute and kill and arrest religious minorities like Christians in Syria. 0.51

00:14:29.980 Why that should be acceptable to anyone is beyond me.

00:14:33.380 It shouldn't be.

00:14:33.920 It is certainly not in our own sense.

00:14:35.660 I appreciate it.

00:14:36.560 Okay, I understand.

00:14:37.680 That's too much common sense, Ms. Gabbard.

00:14:39.460 Please stop mentioning common sense.

00:14:41.580 Why does the Uniparty, why does the foreign policy establishment hate Iran so much, and why have they been so obsessed with getting rid of Bashar Assad?

00:14:49.780 Because we have alliances in the Middle East.

00:14:52.560 And because it's good for Turkey, our longstanding NATO ally, if Assad goes down.

00:14:57.940 Okay, I get why Turkey wanted Assad to go down.

00:15:01.200 It's good for the state of Israel for Assad to go down, because Assad was a puppet of Iran. 0.87

00:15:05.460 Iran is the chief enemy of the state of Israel. 0.93

00:15:07.820 I get why Israel wants Assad to go down.

00:15:10.120 It's good for Saudi Arabia. 0.99

00:15:12.220 These are all three longstanding allies of the United States.

00:15:14.780 I get why Saudi Arabia wants Assad to go down, because Saudi Arabia's chief opponent is also Iran.

00:15:23.480 But why do we care so much?

00:15:25.700 That's the question.

00:15:26.380 Is it really, for all of Bashar Assad's sins, the guy actually did protect religious minorities, much more so than these radical Islamists are going to.

00:15:35.060 He protected Christians a lot more than these radical Islamists are going to.

00:15:39.340 Tulsi's raising that question.

00:15:40.540 That's a common sense question.

00:15:41.480 That's going to appeal to a lot of American people.

00:15:43.100 It's going to make the foreign policy establishment in the Beltway, it's going to make their head explode.

00:15:47.760 But these are basic questions.

00:15:49.200 Sometimes people get so lost in grand strategy, so lost.

00:15:54.320 It's like Dr. Strangelove, you know.

00:15:56.560 They can explain in all sorts of abstract theories why it's great to have some psycho Islamist take over a major country in the Middle East. 0.99

00:16:04.840 But I think we need to inject a little more common sense again.

00:16:08.760 I think that's exactly what Tulsi's DNI appointment is about.

00:16:12.360 Now, Trump himself came out and spoke yesterday, took over the press conference, and he wasted no time blaming the policies of the past administration for that plane crash over the Potomac.

00:16:24.360 I want to point out that various articles that appeared prior to my entering office, and here's one.

00:16:35.760 The FAA's diversity push includes focus on hiring people with severe intellectual and psychiatric disabilities.

00:16:44.920 That is amazing.

00:16:46.500 And then it says, FAA says people with severe disabilities are most underrepresented segment of the workforce, and they want them in, and they want them, they can be air traffic controllers.

00:16:58.900 I don't think so.

00:17:00.220 This was on January 14th, so that was a week before I entered office.

00:17:06.960 They put a big push to put diversity into the FAA's program.

00:17:11.900 And then another article, the Federal Aviation Administration, this was before I got to office, recently, second term.

00:17:24.000 The FAA is actively recruiting workers who suffer severe intellectual disabilities, psychiatric problems, and other mental and physical conditions under a diversity and inclusion hiring initiative spelled out on the agency's website.

00:17:40.100 Can you imagine?

00:17:41.000 Can you imagine that?

00:17:42.640 And this is what Trump is so good at.

00:17:45.320 I mentioned this yesterday.

00:17:46.440 He can really paint a picture.

00:17:48.040 But this is shocking even to me.

00:17:49.400 I follow news very closely, obviously, got my nose in politics.

00:17:53.260 The FAA made a point intentionally to hire people who were mentally retarded or insane, according to that news report that the president just read. 0.97

00:18:04.520 We're not talking about diversity like you hire a couple more black guys or you get a lady in the air traffic control room. 0.97

00:18:09.980 Severe intellectual disabilities?

00:18:15.540 What?

00:18:15.940 I think most Americans, even many Democrats are going to hear that.

00:18:19.120 They're going to say, you've got to be kidding me.

00:18:20.920 And then, not to put too fine a point on it, Trump said that Pete Buttigieg, Joe Biden's transportation secretary, is largely responsible.

00:18:30.220 The FAA, which is overseen by Secretary Pete Buttigieg, a real winner.

00:18:38.640 That guy's a real winner.

00:18:39.720 Do you know how badly everything's run since he's run this Department of Transportation?

00:18:43.420 He's a disaster.

00:18:46.300 He was a disaster as a mayor. 0.97

00:18:48.640 He ran his city into the ground and he's a disaster now. 1.00

00:18:52.880 He's just got a good line of bullshit. 0.99

00:18:55.780 The Department of Transportation, his government agency charged with regulating civil aviation. 0.99

00:19:02.400 Well, he runs it, 45,000 people, and he's run it right into the ground with his diversity. 1.00

00:19:07.840 You might like this.

00:19:10.260 You might like Trump coming out day after a major tragedy and blaming Buttigieg and the policies of the past administration.

00:19:16.680 You might like that.

00:19:17.800 You might not like that.

00:19:19.500 You might, and I suspect there are a lot of people in this category, pretend not to like that but secretly like that.

00:19:24.980 The one thing you cannot do is deny that that is a big part of why he got elected.

00:19:32.740 That guy, the guy who tells the emperor that he has no clothes, that guy got elected by most Americans.

00:19:41.280 Most people would say, oh, we can't talk about it.

00:19:43.680 Oh, I don't know.

00:19:44.240 We can't.

00:19:44.680 Correlation is not causation.

00:19:46.080 I mean, the FAA did try to hire severely intellectually incapacitated people. 0.97

00:19:51.620 But, you know, we can't necessarily, and Trump comes out there, he says, hey, the past administration made it a point to hire retarded people and lunatics to run this agency. 0.98

00:19:59.840 No wonder there are problems, and Buttigieg is a complete disaster. 0.99

00:20:03.400 I know.

00:20:04.100 You might say, well, that's nasty.

00:20:05.800 He shouldn't do that.

00:20:06.480 It's not statesmanlike.

00:20:07.440 It's not presidential.

00:20:09.660 Please don't tell me that isn't a big part of why people elected President Trump.

00:20:14.800 Please.

00:20:15.160 And part of the reason they were inclined to elect him for things like that is because the government has been run so incompetently, with such corruption, so dishonestly, for so long.

00:20:26.700 My next Michael And is going to irritate a lot of people.

00:20:30.580 I think a lot of people are going to like it, but it's going to irritate a lot of people.

00:20:33.540 Probably the biggest, not the biggest one of these interviews I ever did, but the one that caused the most controversy, was when I sat down with Nala Ray, who was the most prominent porn performer in the entire world.

00:20:45.480 And then she decided to quit porn and become a Christian and totally change her life. 0.97

00:20:50.660 And I sat down with her right after she made that decision, and a lot of people did not believe her.

00:20:55.920 They had a lot of follow-up questions with her.

00:20:57.300 Well, Nala Ray returns.

00:21:00.320 This time, she is joined by her husband to address the rumors, to address certain lies, to answer certain criticisms.

00:21:06.600 Check out this teaser.

00:21:08.540 Really shook the internet the first time you came on.

00:21:10.800 I got in so much trouble for talking to you.

00:21:12.920 I know you haven't.

00:21:14.140 I appreciate that.

00:21:15.260 They say very nasty things about you.

00:21:17.040 Oh, yeah.

00:21:17.420 Oh, we know. 1.00

00:21:18.040 You are a lying, deceiving prostitute. 1.00

00:21:19.860 You said that you lied about everything. 1.00

00:21:22.580 People were tagging me on social media, and they said, see, Michael, here's proof that she lied to you.

00:21:27.740 Everything I've said on podcasts is complete clickbait.

00:21:31.140 Why do you think people want you to be lying?

00:21:34.180 That happened to her. 0.94

00:21:35.420 I can't believe that it's real.

00:21:37.040 Because then that means I can change my ways and still get saved.

00:21:41.020 She was brought up in the church.

00:21:42.480 Is this mental illness?

00:21:43.740 People have criticized you because they say, you made all this money.

00:21:47.000 Where's the penance they say you should give all your money away?

00:21:48.860 Watch the episode.

00:21:58.820 It's coming out tomorrow on the Michael Knowles YouTube channel.

00:22:01.500 Watch the uncensored ad-free version and subscribe and watch on Daily Wire Plus.

00:22:07.200 My favorite comment yesterday is from the Denver's Workshop, Norm's Music, who says,

00:22:10.780 Elizabeth Warren's voice makes RFK sound like Pavarotti.

00:22:16.880 Hey, Bella, goza. 1.00

00:22:18.420 No, you're not.

00:22:19.320 I'll sole.

00:22:20.240 I agree with you.

00:22:21.200 Her voice just does something to my inner ear and to my soul that is deeply painful.

00:22:27.540 I totally agree with you.

00:22:29.480 Okay.

00:22:29.740 Speaking of the deadly crash over the Potomac, we're getting a little bit more information.

00:22:34.340 Now, Forbes is reporting that the air tower had been understaffed.

00:22:38.940 So, Forbes is reporting former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg called Trump's claim

00:22:42.860 that the FAA was made unsafe by DEI hiring practices despicable.

00:22:47.120 Notice he doesn't say it's false.

00:22:49.100 He just says it's despicable.

00:22:50.920 And criticized him for what he called his move to, quote, fire and suspend some of the

00:22:54.520 key personnel who helped keep our skies safe.

00:22:57.340 But Forbes goes on and says, the air traffic controller who's handling the helicopters near

00:23:01.640 the airport Wednesday night was also directing commercial planes in takeoff and landing, jobs

00:23:07.120 that are usually assigned to two separate people, according to an internal preliminary Federal

00:23:11.660 Aviation Administration safety report seen by the Times.

00:23:14.820 The tower at the airport has been understaffed for years, the Times reported.

00:23:21.360 So, if we're playing the blame game, Buttigieg says it's Trump's fault.

00:23:24.840 Trump says it's Buttigieg's fault.

00:23:26.160 Well, here's some good evidence that it was Buttigieg and Biden's fault if the tower at

00:23:31.040 the airport has been understaffed for years.

00:23:35.840 So, what are the other theories?

00:23:37.600 There's some theories now that possibly the helicopter flew into the plane intentionally.

00:23:44.020 Again, I haven't seen a lot of evidence for this.

00:23:46.200 The helicopter was flying about 100 feet above where he was supposed to be flying.

00:23:50.960 There are all sorts of rumors coming out.

00:23:52.800 I'm trying to be a little circumspect here and trying to be cautious.

00:23:56.820 But in this case, you're going to hear a lot of people screeching about how Trump blamed

00:24:00.980 Buttigieg and Biden.

00:24:02.240 You're not going to see a lot of people screeching about how Buttigieg did the exact same thing

00:24:05.600 to Trump.

00:24:06.940 And this is it.

00:24:07.680 You know, the left does this all the time.

00:24:09.640 It gets us back to the Kash Patel hearing.

00:24:11.400 The left plays the race card all the time.

00:24:12.960 But then when we play the race card, we start to hem and haw and clutch our pearls.

00:24:17.320 Why?

00:24:17.620 They would do it to us if it's going to get our guy through and there's nothing intrinsically

00:24:20.980 immoral about it.

00:24:21.720 Let's go for it.

00:24:24.800 Donald Trump is pointing out that the policies at the FAA in recent years have been absolutely

00:24:29.020 disastrous.

00:24:30.100 You know the left would be saying that about Trump if the roles were reversed here.

00:24:34.740 Why not?

00:24:35.240 Why not point it out?

00:24:36.900 A lot of the reason Trump got elected is because he is willing to get in the muck and the dirt

00:24:41.520 and fight in a way that Democrats fight, that Republicans traditionally have not been willing

00:24:45.360 to fight.

00:24:46.800 You're seeing this right now with tariffs.

00:24:49.100 President Trump posts to Truth Social last night.

00:24:52.420 He says, the idea that BRICS countries, BRICS are Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South

00:24:58.200 Africa.

00:24:59.280 The idea that the BRICS countries are trying to move away from the US dollar, which we stand

00:25:03.860 by and watch, is over.

00:25:05.520 We are going to require commitment from these seemingly hostile countries that they will

00:25:09.180 neither create a new BRICS currency nor back any other currency to replace the mighty

00:25:12.880 U.S. dollar, or they will face 100% tariffs.

00:25:17.740 There will be no trade with the United States and should expect to say goodbye to selling 0.54

00:25:21.060 into this wonderful U.S. economy. 0.95

00:25:22.840 They can go find another sucker nation. 1.00

00:25:24.840 There is no chance that BRICS will replace the U.S. dollar in international trade or anywhere 0.99

00:25:29.060 else.

00:25:29.440 And any country that tries should say hello to tariffs and goodbye to America.

00:25:34.160 Okay, this is not just Trump shooting from the hip or being reflexive or reactionary.

00:25:39.280 This is a really important part of U.S. grand strategy.

00:25:43.080 Okay, there have been threats for years that the BRICS countries are going to create a currency

00:25:46.520 that could weaken the U.S. dollar.

00:25:48.320 That would be very, very bad for us for a whole host of reasons.

00:25:51.840 How we borrow money, how the whole U.S. economy functions.

00:25:54.820 So Trump is saying, you're not going to get that.

00:25:57.560 And if you try, we're going to place 100% tariffs, which helps you to understand why Trump

00:26:03.760 came so hard on Colombia when Colombia refused the flight of illegal aliens, the criminals 1.00

00:26:08.680 that we shipped out of our country back to Colombia.

00:26:11.680 Colombia said, we're not going to accept the airplanes.

00:26:13.700 And Trump said, okay, well, you're going to get a 25% tariff on all your goods.

00:26:17.300 It's going to jump to 50% next week if you don't shape up.

00:26:19.800 And we're going to place some economic sanctions on you.

00:26:22.000 We're going to freeze your visas and your passports. 1.00

00:26:24.260 We're going to come down with the hammer, okay?

00:26:26.600 And what did Colombia do?

00:26:27.740 An hour later, Colombia caved, and the president of Colombia sent the presidential jet to pick

00:26:32.500 up the criminals.

00:26:33.180 That's good.

00:26:33.560 That's the art of the deal.

00:26:34.600 But what was that about?

00:26:35.800 A lot of people at the time said, man, Trump is really coming down hard without much reason.

00:26:40.600 Well, I think probably coming down hard with the tariffs on Colombia is really more about

00:26:45.640 this.

00:26:46.400 It's about Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, the more important economies.

00:26:51.840 This, he had to punish Colombia to prove he would do it. 0.86

00:26:57.360 It's kind of like dropping the nuclear bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

00:27:02.600 Why drop the bomb?

00:27:03.800 In part, to end the war.

00:27:05.140 Also, to let the Soviet Union know that we have the bomb. 0.77

00:27:07.900 And you better watch out.

00:27:09.260 I think that's what the tariffs in Colombia was largely about.

00:27:14.080 So now, you're one of these BRICS nations.

00:27:16.000 You got to be thinking, look, maybe he's bluffing.

00:27:18.280 Maybe there's only a 10% chance he really follows through.

00:27:21.200 But can I take that chance?

00:27:23.020 You're already seeing.

00:27:23.880 A lot of people doubted that Trump would really wield tariffs for his foreign policy.

00:27:27.800 He's already done it in spades.

00:27:29.960 Now, a lot of people on the left are not taking this lying down.

00:27:33.620 And because it's a day that ends in Y, a transvestite has been arrested for trying to murder 1.00

00:27:37.720 top Republicans.

00:27:38.500 I found this because there was a story in local news that said Franklin County residents

00:27:45.060 react to Massachusetts woman arrested in D.C. 0.59

00:27:48.400 But then here's the first paragraph.

00:27:50.640 It's a little bit weird.

00:27:51.640 South Deerfield, Mass., a woman who lived in South Deerfield, was arrested on Monday in

00:27:55.800 Washington, D.C. after police say he was threatening to kill some of Trump's cabinet members.

00:28:01.780 Wait, what?

00:28:03.100 A woman? 0.80

00:28:03.700 Then he, okay, well, you see at the end why you got the disagreement between the noun and

00:28:09.620 the pronoun.

00:28:10.780 It says, this story previously identified the defendant as Ryan Michael English, the name

00:28:15.500 used in charging documents.

00:28:17.000 But in a memo Wednesday, English's attorney clarified that her client uses the name Riley

00:28:23.380 Jane.

00:28:24.480 Okay. 0.96

00:28:24.860 So a transvestite fella, a transgender, you know, someone who thinks he's really is the 1.00

00:28:31.820 opposite sex, has behaved in a crazy way. 0.99

00:28:35.800 Wow.

00:28:36.620 Stop the presses.

00:28:38.380 Man bites dog.

00:28:39.600 Pull over your car.

00:28:40.740 Wow. 0.99

00:28:42.200 A lunatic who is confused about the most basic aspects of human nature is behaving in a lunatic 1.00

00:28:48.000 way. 1.00

00:28:48.640 Boy, boy golly.

00:28:50.840 Shocking.

00:28:51.960 The only people who are shocked by this are the media.

00:28:53.880 The only people who are shocked by this are the Democrat operatives.

00:28:58.460 It's the left.

00:28:59.840 No one, no one else with any common sense is shocked by this.

00:29:03.740 And this guy apparently wanted to kill Pete Hegseth over at the Pentagon, wanted to kill

00:29:09.640 Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House, wanted to kill Scott Bessent, the Treasury Secretary.

00:29:14.220 It's always the ones you most expect.

00:29:16.840 And when the Democrats were in charge, they wouldn't follow common sense. 0.96

00:29:20.720 In fact, they would try to hire the people who were crazy or who had intellectual deficiencies 0.90

00:29:25.360 that would compromise their ability to do their job.

00:29:27.420 Under the Trump administration, we got to find a place for everyone in society, people

00:29:31.460 who have mental problems, people who are a little bit slower, people who are a little 0.98

00:29:34.880 bit crazy. 0.82

00:29:35.400 But you don't want them in charge of really important jobs, and you don't want them to

00:29:39.920 be free to come down and try to murder the sitting cabinet.

00:29:42.940 That's just, we're just not going to do that.

00:29:44.680 Now, speaking of Pete Hegseth, Pete Hegseth just posted for the first time yesterday a

00:29:50.320 video from the Pentagon, from his office, explaining what is going on specifically with the crash

00:29:57.580 over the Potomac that involved a military helicopter.

00:29:59.460 All right, update this morning.

00:30:02.220 Just got off the phone with the SELCOM commander and the chairman, the Joint Chiefs, talking

00:30:06.720 about our efforts at Guantanamo Bay.

00:30:08.640 That is ongoing.

00:30:10.180 We're leaning forward on supporting the president's directive to make sure that we have a location

00:30:15.140 for violent criminal illegals as they are deported out of the country. 0.51

00:30:20.940 No one's going to wait on the Defense Department, and we're working that in real time.

00:30:24.540 But I also wanted to give an update on the tragedy that happened last night here in Washington,

00:30:28.800 D.C., and provide a little bit more information as we are actively working to investigate and

00:30:35.500 understand what occurred and why.

00:30:38.460 At about 8.48 last night, a UH-60 assigned to the U.S. Army Aviation Brigade in the Military

00:30:46.000 District of Washington, Fort Belvoir, Virginia, collided tragically with a civilian airliner.

00:30:51.860 Um, the unit involved, the Army unit involved with Bravo Company 12th Aviation Battalion at

00:30:57.820 Fort Belvoir.

00:30:59.460 Uh, it was an annual proficiency training flight, uh, and when we look at the crew, and we're

00:31:04.260 not, all, not all can have been notified, so we're going to withhold ranks and names at

00:31:08.800 this point, we do know, um, on our side who was involved.

00:31:13.700 Trump vindicated once again on one of the biggest charges against him with his appointees,

00:31:18.040 one of the biggest knocks on him.

00:31:19.580 I heard it even from people on the right, too.

00:31:21.080 They say, oh, Trump's just filling up his whole administration with the lineup of Fox

00:31:25.240 News.

00:31:26.380 Can he find anyone else who isn't on TV?

00:31:28.980 Why is he, why is he putting all these media figures in the administration?

00:31:33.220 You know, it turns out there is an advantage to having good communicators in government,

00:31:38.440 especially at a time when people don't trust the government in both parties, especially at

00:31:42.360 a time when a guy gets elected president in part because the institutions of government

00:31:46.880 have lost people's trust.

00:31:48.780 Maybe it's smart to have a charismatic, good communicator who's got a lot of TV experience

00:31:54.180 who can, who can speak directly to the American people.

00:31:57.500 Maybe that's, maybe that's a good hiring decision.

00:32:00.800 You know, personnel is policy.

00:32:02.300 And Trump always talks about he has the best people.

00:32:05.220 This administration, the second administration, seems to be even better than the first.

00:32:09.660 There were some clunkers in the first administration.

00:32:11.760 This time around, though, this is good stuff.

00:32:14.560 It is very important when all sorts of theories are flying, what happened with this military

00:32:18.060 helicopter, all sorts of other crazy stories that we didn't even really get a chance to

00:32:21.100 talk about of Haitian asylum seekers who are being shipped out of the country and they're

00:32:26.200 taking a stop over at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba first and then we're sending them back.

00:32:29.860 When there's all of this misinformation out there, it's very helpful to have people who

00:32:34.820 know their way around a camera and a microphone who can cut through the extremely dishonest

00:32:39.180 media to speak to the American people.

00:32:41.740 You know, new and streaming right now on Daily Wire Plus is the making of Am I Racist?

00:33:09.940 Finally, finally, we've arrived at my favorite time of the week when I get to hear from you

00:33:13.600 in the mailbag.

00:33:21.400 Hello, Michael.

00:33:23.340 Joel here.

00:33:25.060 So many times I've gone to send you a message and found out moments later that you actually

00:33:31.080 addressed the exact point I was going to ask about.

00:33:34.260 But for once, I think I finally have something that I don't think you've fully discussed.

00:33:40.060 President Biden clearly has the constitutional authority to grant pardons, and I appreciate

00:33:46.640 that.

00:33:47.300 But it seems he has taken it a bit further than any other president previously have with blanket

00:33:54.820 pardons and pardons for things that haven't even happened yet, not to mention pardoning

00:34:01.460 his own son for all the decades worth of time.

00:34:05.220 What do you think can be done?

00:34:07.960 What do you think should be done to curb or somehow decrease the power of the ability

00:34:16.440 of the president to just issue blanket pardons to everybody who agrees with him upon leaving

00:34:22.200 office?

00:34:22.820 Or should we do anything about it?

00:34:24.720 Should we just allow it to stand?

00:34:26.220 And if so, I guess what should Trump's strategy be in relation to this?

00:34:30.720 Should he just turn around and tit for tat, do the same thing four years from now when he's

00:34:34.720 on his way out the door and just set the precedent that that's what every president will do from

00:34:38.980 now on?

00:34:39.780 Just curious what your thoughts are on that.

00:34:41.780 Love the show.

00:34:42.700 Thanks for taking my question.

00:34:44.220 Excellent question.

00:34:45.160 No, I do think we have to circumscribe the pardon power.

00:34:47.660 I am for a robust pardon power.

00:34:49.440 I'm for a robust executive.

00:34:51.000 But as you point out, when Jerry Ford pardoned Richard Nixon, it was for a specific action.

00:34:57.100 It didn't require Nixon to admit guilt, but it was for a specific thing.

00:35:00.620 It was for the Watergate scandal.

00:35:01.820 When Jimmy Carter pardoned the draft dodgers from Vietnam, he was pardoning people in a 0.97

00:35:07.440 blanket way, all sorts of people that he wasn't specifying.

00:35:10.780 But it was at least for a specific thing.

00:35:14.200 In this case, Joe Biden just said, well, I'm going to pardon my kid for anything that he

00:35:19.120 might have done at the federal level over the last 10 years.

00:35:22.160 And then we started at 10 years before because that's when Hunter Biden started working for

00:35:26.240 Burisma, the crooked Ukraine oil and natural gas company that was paying bribes to the Biden

00:35:31.400 family for U.S. policy in Ukraine.

00:35:33.880 So we do know what the pardons were for, but Biden wouldn't specify.

00:35:37.820 It was any crime he may or may not have committed over the last 10 years.

00:35:40.880 And then on the way out, he extended that to much of the rest of his family.

00:35:44.100 That's crazy.

00:35:44.720 I think a very simple way to circumscribe the pardon power is just for a court or for the

00:35:49.600 legislature to say the president can pardon whoever he wants at the federal level, but

00:35:53.700 it's got to be for a crime.

00:35:55.300 You can't just pardon him for anything.

00:35:57.320 He might have jaywalked.

00:35:58.800 He might have committed a federal felony of jaywalking.

00:36:01.600 I don't think that's a felony.

00:36:02.820 And so he's off the hook.

00:36:04.480 You know, it's got to be for a specific crime because otherwise you establish this awful precedent

00:36:09.060 of the president just having to preemptively pardon everyone around him as if political

00:36:14.240 retribution is going to be the norm, make us more like a banana republic, which the Democrats 0.79

00:36:18.780 started.

00:36:19.360 I mean, they made that deal, but hopefully the country doesn't accept it.

00:36:23.000 Next question.

00:36:23.480 Hey, Michael, I have a question about standing up for your values.

00:36:28.940 I'm a city cop in the South, and I recently refused to complete an online work training

00:36:33.020 called Valuing Diversity.

00:36:35.000 The course said that using fake transgender pronouns was correct and appropriate and directed 1.00

00:36:39.300 officers to celebrate, encourage, and value the beliefs of others, stressing that tolerance

00:36:43.680 alone wasn't good enough.

00:36:45.480 I expressed concern that the course was biased and that parts of it weren't factually true.

00:36:49.600 For this, I was taken off street duty and grilled by Internal Affairs, who told me to

00:36:53.360 sign off on the class or they'd take my badge and gun.

00:36:55.980 I was able to come to an agreement that I'd keep my job and help rewrite the course to

00:36:59.600 be more neutral, but only after being punished and having my livelihood threatened.

00:37:03.660 What is your advice for people like me, who are in serious professions like police or military,

00:37:08.140 who are ordered to compromise their values or lie as a matter of policy?

00:37:11.700 Thanks for your time.

00:37:12.640 Love the show.

00:37:13.460 God bless.

00:37:13.920 This is always a matter of prudence.

00:37:16.380 You know, I think a lot of people want a really clear ideological answer here, which is, well,

00:37:21.280 when it's these five things that they're requiring of you, then, you know, if they make you put

00:37:24.840 your pronouns in your email, then you got to quit.

00:37:27.480 But if they only make you put your pronouns on a name tag at a conference, then you don't

00:37:31.980 have to quit.

00:37:32.600 This is just a matter of prudence, I think.

00:37:34.920 You don't want to do anything that is intrinsically evil or immoral.

00:37:37.900 But if it's just having to put up with some nonsense, everyone has to put up with some

00:37:41.800 nonsense at work.

00:37:42.800 I work at a very conservative company, and I was employee number five, and I've helped

00:37:46.820 build the culture at this very company.

00:37:49.000 And there are still things about the way the company, that any company is run, that you

00:37:52.460 don't always love to do.

00:37:53.740 You don't always say, maybe you want to take lunch at this time, or maybe you don't want

00:37:56.920 to have to work in this way, or maybe, you know, that's just life.

00:38:00.340 So I just think you have to make a practical and a prudential calculation.

00:38:05.280 Is the juice worth the squeeze anymore?

00:38:08.840 Next question.

00:38:10.580 Hello, Mayflower Mike.

00:38:11.840 Bryson was taken here, and I need some advice on how to handle a situation at work.

00:38:16.200 I'm a public school teacher.

00:38:17.780 Yes, a based public school teacher.

00:38:20.100 I recently found out that a trans-identifying student will be joining my class roster who

00:38:24.740 goes by pronouns and a name that are different than who this child truly is.

00:38:29.220 My question is how to best handle this within my professional capacity as a teacher.

00:38:33.620 I know I'm not legally required to call the student by her preferred pronouns or nickname,

00:38:38.980 but I need help knowing if I should hold firm and call her by her birth name and correct

00:38:42.820 pronouns at the risk of creating drama or call the student by her preferred name.

00:38:48.120 In the past, I've called students by their preferred name and justified it as a nickname

00:38:52.480 while avoiding pronouns altogether.

00:38:54.660 But I feel like that is still going against my beliefs.

00:38:57.600 Any help would be appreciated.

00:38:59.080 Thanks.

00:38:59.360 Yeah, I think that would be lying.

00:39:01.660 I don't think you should lie.

00:39:02.820 I think that would be a line in the sand where I wouldn't pretend.

00:39:06.620 It's really evil to the kid, even if the kid thinks that he or she wants to be trans. 0.63

00:39:11.300 It's just abusive to the kid, and I think you will regret that someday.

00:39:15.200 And it's also just dishonest.

00:39:16.620 It's a lie.

00:39:17.220 So for me, I couldn't do it.

00:39:19.660 Next question.

00:39:21.300 Hi, Michael.

00:39:22.000 I love your show.

00:39:22.840 You had mentioned that Bill Maher is ethnically Jewish, and so his taking Jesus' name in vain

00:39:31.140 is significant.

00:39:32.840 He was actually raised Catholic.

00:39:35.940 I believe his mother was Jewish before she converted to Catholicism in order to marry his

00:39:41.840 father, apparently under some duress.

00:39:45.700 But he was raised Catholic and was baptized Catholic.

00:39:49.040 So he is, in fact, a lapsed Catholic, and we should pray for him.

00:39:53.260 That's great to know.

00:39:54.400 We got to get Bill Maher back, man.

00:39:56.040 I didn't realize that.

00:39:57.560 Someone wrote in after I mentioned Bill Maher that he's a Catholic.

00:40:00.700 All right, let's go, baby.

00:40:01.820 We got to get Bill Maher on the show.

00:40:03.880 We got to get him.

00:40:04.560 We got to rosary pill him.

00:40:05.800 Let's go.

00:40:06.060 I'm into it, man.

00:40:06.900 Okay, let's see.

00:40:08.260 There was one more voice mailbag I wanted to do, but I don't think it was pulled, so

00:40:11.700 we'll have to try to get it next week.

00:40:13.360 A written mailbag question from Mark.

00:40:16.400 Dear Mr. Knowles, I'm in a bit of a conundrum.

00:40:18.500 I'm a mid-20s devout Catholic.

00:40:20.420 There you go, male.

00:40:21.040 Well, and I've been courting an early 20s woman for the past six months who happens 1.00

00:40:25.440 to be LDS, Mormon.

00:40:27.540 Both our families are fond of one another, and everything's been going great.

00:40:31.080 Recently, we talked about making our relationship official and what we both want to come out

00:40:35.080 of it.

00:40:35.300 We both agree that we're dating to get married, want to have several kids, and agree on key

00:40:38.880 political beliefs and values.

00:40:40.340 When it comes to our fates, I obviously do not have any interest in converting, but she

00:40:43.840 thankfully is open to conversion.

00:40:45.500 Nice.

00:40:46.280 In talking about faiths, she confessed that she isn't just LDS.

00:40:50.320 She comes from FLDS.

00:40:53.100 Yes, polygamists.

00:40:55.320 It really brought into context when I had dinner with her family, and she refers to women other 0.99

00:41:00.200 than her mother as a mother.

00:41:02.640 She has expressed to me that even if she converts and we have a Catholic wedding, she still wants

00:41:07.380 me to have at least one more wife so she can have a sister wife and so we can have a big 1.00

00:41:10.680 family.

00:41:11.260 Wow.

00:41:11.700 That was after talking her down from four, the four wives that her father has. 0.92

00:41:17.620 I care for her deeply and believe she and I can have a great future together.

00:41:21.940 However, polygamy is obviously not acceptable in the Catholic Church.

00:41:24.480 Please help.

00:41:25.720 Is this a dear penthouse letter?

00:41:27.240 I don't know.

00:41:27.800 There are probably a lot of guys who would like to hear this from their fiancé or girlfriend.

00:41:32.920 But yes, of course, you can't do that.

00:41:34.720 If you're going to be Catholic and raise the kids Catholic, then you can't have sister wives. 0.99

00:41:40.220 You could do that if you're LDS.

00:41:41.340 You could do that if you're Muslim, but probably not Catholic. 0.84

00:41:45.660 So I guess I would ask her, say, hey, that's really nice that you're offering me a harem. 0.68

00:41:52.060 Lots of ladies. 1.00

00:41:53.760 And I kind of get it.

00:41:54.320 If she was raised that way, then it's quite normal for her and she probably does want

00:41:57.260 companionship.

00:41:58.200 But you say, look, if you're going to convert to Catholicism, that means more than just like

00:42:03.800 going to church on Sunday.

00:42:05.320 That means you are going to live your whole life in accordance with this religion.

00:42:09.780 You know, even on Tuesday afternoon, even on Friday morning, not just on Sunday morning.

00:42:14.840 And so part of the religion is you can't have more than one wife.

00:42:19.180 So, you know, thanks for the offer.

00:42:21.900 I appreciate it.

00:42:23.200 But that's not going to work.

00:42:24.900 Okay.

00:42:25.700 That's our show.

00:42:26.320 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:42:26.860 This is the Michael Knowles Show.
