The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1678 - Libs Panic! Kash Patel Takes Control of The FBI

00:00:00.000 I'm at CPAC, where the president of Argentina just gave Elon Musk a chainsaw.

00:00:05.900 Meanwhile, across town, the Department of Health and Human Services

00:00:09.180 just took the first major step toward eradicating transgenderism from public life entirely. 1.00

00:00:15.560 Kash Patel was just confirmed as the FBI director,

00:00:18.580 and President Trump's National Economic Council director

00:00:20.900 just floated getting rid of the federal income tax.

00:00:25.200 So, you know, just another week in Trump's second term.

00:00:28.880 I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:00:45.780 Welcome back to the show.

00:00:53.220 April 15th is coming up.

00:00:54.960 Will the income tax disappear before you have to pay your taxes?

00:00:58.880 The hits keep on coming, man.

00:01:00.480 I'm in D.C.

00:01:02.200 I was going to fly out right after I did my speech at CPAC.

00:01:07.180 You'll have to tune in to figure out who we're eradicating this year.

00:01:10.520 Then I went over, I did an interview for PBS NewsHour,

00:01:14.220 because ever since President Trump won again,

00:01:17.240 news outlets that are traditionally quite left-leaning have been calling me up

00:01:21.780 because they want to figure out why most Americans voted for Donald Trump.

00:01:26.140 And so I was happy to speak with them.

00:01:28.820 I think I scandalized them greatly,

00:01:30.440 and many of their viewers I think were horrified to have heard from a conservative.

00:01:34.400 But then we came back, we did a backstage show also at CPAC,

00:01:38.100 and then saw some friends around D.C.

00:01:40.800 And the hits just keep on coming.

00:01:42.300 Every time I look down at my phone, there's new news.

00:01:45.620 Well, I don't even know if I can say this is the biggest,

00:01:47.860 but it's very, very big.

00:01:50.080 Yesterday, Kash Patel was confirmed by the U.S. Senate as the next FBI director.

00:01:57.360 This vote came down 51-49, so it was close.

00:02:00.340 It was along party lines.

00:02:02.220 The two squishy Republicans, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski, voted against him.

00:02:07.140 But otherwise, it was fine.

00:02:08.680 They didn't lose McConnell on the Republican side,

00:02:10.520 so no need for J.D. Vance to break the tie.

00:02:14.060 Why do I mention this?

00:02:14.900 One, it's really important to have a good FBI director,

00:02:17.400 because there have been abuses at the FBI since 2016, 2015.

00:02:21.160 Actually, it goes back a lot further than that.

00:02:23.160 It got really, really bad under Biden.

00:02:24.860 You had FBI agents spying on Catholic parishes.

00:02:29.020 You had FBI agents going down, raiding Mar-a-Lago,

00:02:32.340 the home of the former president and the then leader of the political opposition.

00:02:36.220 So really, really bad.

00:02:37.380 It's good to have a serious reformer like Kash Patel in there.

00:02:40.060 But the other great news about Patel getting through is

00:02:43.180 pretty much all of Trump's nominees got through.

00:02:47.200 Matt Gaetz was floated, and then he quickly pulled out,

00:02:51.120 and Pam Bondi was able to get through.

00:02:53.020 But pretty much all of the controversial nominees,

00:02:56.680 Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, Bobby Kennedy, Kash Patel,

00:03:01.940 they got through.

00:03:03.820 And then the less controversial candidates sailed right through,

00:03:06.440 which is a really good sign,

00:03:07.520 not just for President Trump being able to staff his administration,

00:03:10.780 but also for President Trump being able to pass legislation.

00:03:15.180 There's a lot of people who've said,

00:03:16.240 well, the executive orders, they're great, generally.

00:03:18.480 You know, I'm into them.

00:03:19.560 But the next president, if he's a Democrat,

00:03:22.660 could just rescind all of them on day one, minute one.

00:03:26.800 So you've got to encode these things into law.

00:03:29.460 And how are we going to do that?

00:03:30.580 You know, wrangling the U.S. Congress, it's like herding cats.

00:03:33.120 Well, if the nomination process, if the confirmation process is any indication,

00:03:38.440 President Trump seems to be doing a pretty good job

00:03:40.240 wrangling those Republicans on Capitol Hill.

00:03:43.640 Seems like a sign of good things to come.

00:03:45.400 Now, speaking of good things to come, good things being here,

00:03:50.180 memorandum just came out from the Department of Health and Human Services.

00:03:54.200 And this is being reported as a memorandum on transgenderism.

00:03:59.420 You know, it's a big victory against gender ideology. 0.99

00:04:01.340 But it's even deeper than that.

00:04:03.620 Because part of this people are not totally acknowledging,

00:04:07.060 it actually speaks to what human life is.

00:04:09.820 It's a major victory for the pro-life movement.

00:04:11.860 I won't read the whole memorandum.

00:04:13.380 It's guidance for federal agencies, external partners,

00:04:16.600 and the public implementing Executive Order 14168,

00:04:20.040 defending women from gender ideology extremism

00:04:22.220 and restoring biological truth to the federal government,

00:04:24.260 defining sex.

00:04:25.700 It says, there are only two sexes, female and male, 0.97

00:04:29.720 because there are only two types of gametes.

00:04:32.120 An individual human is either female or male, 0.75

00:04:34.460 based on whether the person is of the sex characterized by a reproductive system

00:04:38.420 with the biological function of producing eggs or sperm.

00:04:41.780 Now, that's good enough.

00:04:43.160 So that means there's no pansexual,

00:04:45.000 no third gender,

00:04:46.340 no 57th gender.

00:04:47.500 That's all good.

00:04:47.860 But to just say there are only two sexes, male and female,

00:04:51.060 does not necessarily eradicate transgenderism.

00:04:54.440 Because you can say,

00:04:54.940 all right, there are two sexes, male and female,

00:04:56.740 and sometimes females become males, 0.66

00:04:58.620 and sometimes males become females.

00:04:59.840 But there would still be two sexes, 1.00

00:05:01.600 according to some gender ideologues.

00:05:03.720 So HHS goes further.

00:05:05.600 They say,

00:05:05.920 The sex of a human,

00:05:08.320 female or male,

00:05:09.920 is determined genetically at conception,

00:05:13.160 fertilization,

00:05:14.200 and is observable before birth.

00:05:17.540 So this is really important.

00:05:20.640 This is saying that sex is immutable. 0.58

00:05:25.540 It is determined genetically at conception,

00:05:29.800 and it is observable before birth.

00:05:32.800 That's good right there.

00:05:34.740 Okay, we're knocking down transgenderism. 1.00

00:05:37.340 Obviously, it still exists in various parts of the law

00:05:40.760 and regulations and in Supreme Court decisions.

00:05:43.820 But here, HHS is saying,

00:05:45.400 we're not buying trans. 0.80

00:05:47.520 But what's really, really important here is,

00:05:49.780 it's determined genetically at conception.

00:05:53.940 Because HHS is acknowledging an obvious fact,

00:05:57.100 but something that is politically incorrect among the left,

00:05:59.840 which is,

00:06:01.020 life begins at conception.

00:06:02.800 Life begins at the beginning.

00:06:03.820 This has all sorts of ramifications.

00:06:06.680 This implies so much for abortion.

00:06:09.180 This implies quite a lot, actually, for IVF.

00:06:12.120 This implies a lot for abortive fashion drugs.

00:06:15.280 If life begins at conception,

00:06:16.800 if that is now the official policy

00:06:18.480 of the federal government,

00:06:20.940 there are going to be myriad conclusions

00:06:24.160 to be drawn from that.

00:06:25.620 Really, really encouraging sign.

00:06:28.580 Especially after this IVF executive order,

00:06:31.600 which a lot of people lost their minds over,

00:06:33.420 but which didn't really do all that much.

00:06:36.680 Just kind of directs the National Policy Council

00:06:38.820 to look into ways to reduce costs.

00:06:40.400 Okay, I don't want to sugarcoat it or anything.

00:06:42.760 But if the day after you get that executive order,

00:06:46.240 then you hear something from HHS,

00:06:47.760 real firm policy being put in place by the agency,

00:06:50.200 saying,

00:06:50.760 yeah, life begins at conception.

00:06:52.080 We're even going to define conception as fertilization,

00:06:54.860 not even implantation,

00:06:56.320 which means that abortive fashion drugs

00:06:58.920 that attack babies that have been conceived,

00:07:01.200 even if they haven't been implanted yet,

00:07:03.680 would appear to violate

00:07:04.980 the federal government's policy now.

00:07:08.300 Oh yeah, and also transgenderism's done in public life.

00:07:11.020 There's so much more to say.

00:07:12.300 First, though, go to showallegiance.com.

00:07:15.620 I'm so excited by this new advertiser.

00:07:17.760 Here, the Allegiance Flag Supply American Flags

00:07:23.320 are simply the best American flags out there.

00:07:28.020 Made in America.

00:07:32.880 in the future of our country.

00:07:34.740 Go get it today.

00:07:36.300 One of the first songs I ever learned,

00:07:37.860 I think the very first song I ever learned was

00:07:39.280 It's a Grand Old Flag by George M. Cohan.

00:07:42.380 He used to march around my grandpa's house,

00:07:43.920 grandma grandpa's house, singing it.

00:07:45.360 I have flown an American flag in the back of my car

00:07:48.060 in the back windshield since I got,

00:07:50.980 I think right about since I got my car after college.

00:07:54.980 I love a good American flag, okay?

00:07:57.540 And I've been in the market for a while

00:07:59.200 for a good, nice new American flag

00:08:01.520 for the front of my house.

00:08:02.840 And here comes Allegiance.

00:08:06.760 Because so many of these flags 0.93

00:08:08.100 are just kind of like cheap, foreign nonsense. 1.00

00:08:11.940 Right now, when you go to showallegiance.com,

00:08:14.320 you can save $35 off your complete flag set.

00:08:18.060 That is showallegiance.com

00:08:23.560 for Americans.

00:08:25.940 Meanwhile, back at CPAC,

00:08:28.020 Javier Millet, the president of Argentina,

00:08:30.960 just gave Elon Musk a chainsaw.

00:08:32.960 Hey, my friend!

00:08:43.080 How you doing?

00:08:44.240 How's it going?

00:08:45.060 Hey.

00:08:46.580 I have a bracelet for you.

00:08:48.520 Thanks.

00:08:48.860 Thanks.

00:08:48.920 I'm here, my friend.

00:09:06.200 Was that a blood?

00:09:08.440 How's it going?

00:09:08.520 Look at me!

00:09:09.420 That I was bad to the bone.

00:09:16.600 You get the picture.

00:09:34.840 I really like, too, Elon had his kids with him.

00:09:38.540 And it was like, ooh, wow, a chainsaw.

00:09:42.020 Probably not the best thing for the kids to play with.

00:09:44.300 I actually got to meet Elon either right before or right after this happened.

00:09:49.480 I had never met the man in person before.

00:09:51.140 Got to shake his hand.

00:09:52.560 Got to see his kids.

00:09:53.640 Very, very cool.

00:09:55.320 Really nice guy.

00:09:56.400 Very funny guy.

00:09:57.500 And Millet, obviously, has a sense of humor, too, because he gives Elon this chainsaw.

00:10:02.220 Now, there is some deeper political meaning here.

00:10:04.140 Obviously, Millet, arch-libertarian, so libertarian he's converting to Judaism.

00:10:09.620 Okay, that is a serious commitment to libertarianism.

00:10:13.140 But he is a real slasher of budgets and economic pork down in Argentina.

00:10:20.280 And he's giving this slasher to Elon Musk for doing the same thing here in the U.S. government.

00:10:27.560 It's a libertarian celebration.

00:10:29.820 But I think the deeper political problem here is I don't think Trump got elected.

00:10:36.940 I don't think Trump won the popular vote because people suddenly became libertarians.

00:10:41.760 And yet, that is what we're getting.

00:10:44.980 What we're getting is Elon Musk, an exemplar of Silicon Valley, of innovation, of upsetting the status quo.

00:10:54.720 And his ideology seems to be a libertarian just slashing, cutting spending, teaming up with, or culturally at least, teaming up with Javier Millet here.

00:11:05.220 I don't know.

00:11:06.420 I don't think that is why Trump was able to pull one in five black male voters, half of Hispanics, 40% of women under the age of 30.

00:11:16.280 I think there were all sorts of reasons why people voted for Trump.

00:11:19.720 But I think a big part of it was they want less migration.

00:11:24.100 Libertarians don't want less migration.

00:11:25.800 I don't think Elon wants less migration.

00:11:27.440 I think he wants more migration.

00:11:28.520 He just wants more legal migration.

00:11:29.920 So that, I don't know, that seems to be a little bit of a break between the base and this empowered class.

00:11:40.060 What about, I don't know, trade policy?

00:11:43.540 I'm not sure that the libertarians are all that gung-ho about the tariffs, which is really the centerpiece of President Trump's trade policy.

00:11:52.460 All I'm saying is it's a cool scene and everyone loves what Elon is doing at Doge.

00:11:58.200 I think it's magnificent.

00:11:59.100 I think he's one of the all-time great political figures of my lifetime.

00:12:03.620 But I like what Elon is doing at Doge because it's rooting out corruption.

00:12:09.460 I think libertarians are more focused on how it's rooting out waste and government spending and it's reducing the size and scope of the government and this, that, and the other thing.

00:12:17.740 I don't, my issue with it is, my issue with USAID is that it was being used to advance leftism.

00:12:22.580 I don't really care that it was spending money.

00:12:23.980 I think at some point that traditionalism or that populism or that more classical conservatism is going to clash with the libertarianism.

00:12:33.840 I don't know when it's going to happen.

00:12:35.180 Right now everyone's playing nice and everyone's really happy with the results.

00:12:37.860 But I think that will happen at some point. 0.96

00:12:40.200 Now, Elon, after receiving his chainsaw, goes on stage with Rob Schmidt from Newsmax and addresses one of the stupidest criticism I've seen made at Elon Musk. 0.54

00:12:53.800 Namely, that he is spending this time, not being paid for it, giving up his very, very valuable time to go in and reform the federal government so that he can, like, steal your social security check or something.

00:13:10.440 I'm saying right now that the reason that you want to get into social security, that you want to get into all of these different, into treasury and things like that, is that you're looking for personal information and you're trying to make more money.

00:13:19.660 I've never met anybody as rich as you that cared less about money in my life.

00:13:24.600 Every time I hear a story about you, you're sleeping on a couch of some other guy in a city that you could buy the entire thing.

00:13:31.580 I don't think you care about money, do you?

00:13:33.600 No, actually, I mean, listen, like, if I steal some social security, I can finally buy nice things.

00:13:43.240 Great answer from Elon.

00:13:49.740 I love that Elon, he pauses.

00:13:51.640 He doesn't just answer right away.

00:13:53.100 He's not like a politician where he's totally fluent and he's always got the right word ready.

00:13:59.460 He sits, kind of laughs, he shrugs, he goes, yeah, yeah.

00:14:03.840 If I steal someone's social security check, I can finally buy nice things, says the man worth $400 billion.

00:14:10.500 This is the way to respond to these kinds of attacks from the left.

00:14:15.260 You just have to kind of laugh at them.

00:14:18.360 Yeah, that's why Elon, with five or six historically successful companies, Elon Musk, the richest man in the world,

00:14:29.220 in terms of just raw dollars, not inflation adjusted, the richest man ever in the history of the world.

00:14:35.660 This guy got involved in the government to get your financial information.

00:14:43.400 This is the guy, by the way, who owned PayPal that more than 70% of American adults have used.

00:14:48.820 He got in it to steal your, like, $400 social security check.

00:14:52.720 I don't think so.

00:14:53.900 All you can do is laugh.

00:14:55.240 Now, speaking of revenue to the government, big, big news.

00:15:00.120 There's coming out of the White House, this care of Kevin Hassett, the director of President Trump's National Economic Council,

00:15:10.500 who floated the idea of getting rid of the income tax.

00:15:16.240 President Trump has spoken about replacing income tax with tariff revenue,

00:15:20.820 especially with all this waste, fraud, and abuse that we're seeing cut.

00:15:23.640 Is that a possibility?

00:15:25.560 Absolutely.

00:15:25.960 And, in fact, if you think about the China tariff revenue that we're estimating is coming in from the 10% that we just added,

00:15:33.660 plus the de minimis thing, that it's between $500 billion and $1 trillion over 10 years is our estimate.

00:15:40.940 And that's something that is outside of the reductions that markets are seeing through the negotiations up on the Hill.

00:15:46.920 And so we expect that the tariff revenue is actually going to make it much easier for Republicans to pass a bill,

00:15:51.900 and that was the president's plan all along.

00:15:53.580 That's big news.

00:15:55.300 And President Trump has talked about this on the campaign trail.

00:15:58.580 He suggested, oh, we're going to go back to the McKinley era.

00:16:01.100 Now, the McKinley era, notably, was before the federal income tax.

00:16:07.580 It was the history of the income tax in the United States goes back basically to the Civil War.

00:16:13.120 It was floated during the War of 1812, but then the war wrapped up, so it became a moot point.

00:16:17.540 We did not have a federal income tax until the Revenue Act of 1861, which was a flat tax on incomes over $800.

00:16:29.880 Now, to put that in perspective, $800 in 1861 is something like $400,000 today.

00:16:35.980 It was a flat 3% income tax.

00:16:39.480 Then, that was repealed in 1872, and then there were all sorts of different revenue-raising instruments.

00:16:47.480 But we didn't really have a federal income tax until the 16th Amendment in 1913, during the progressive era.

00:16:54.240 So, when Trump comes out here and he says, look, we're going to go back to the McKinley way of doing things.

00:17:01.020 We're going to get all of our revenue from tariffs.

00:17:03.400 And who knows?

00:17:04.020 We don't even need the income tax.

00:17:05.740 We'll so offset.

00:17:07.200 Now, again, I'm a little skeptical of being able to shift those numbers so quickly.

00:17:11.980 But that would be pretty cool, man, if I didn't have to pay an income tax anymore.

00:17:17.600 And I guess what's so amazing about this story is not even the notion that you might not have to pay an income tax anymore,

00:17:27.320 that somehow maybe they'll repeal the 16th Amendment or just not enforce an income tax.

00:17:31.780 What's so amazing is that we're even having this conversation.

00:17:35.880 Fifteen years ago, the idea that a Republican would campaign on tariffs was unthinkable.

00:17:41.700 So, today, we have the Republican president and his top economic advisors talking about using tariffs so aggressively that we don't have an income tax anymore.

00:17:54.540 It's that line from Cardinal Manning.

00:17:56.740 There were many beautiful lines from Cardinal Manning, one of which is,

00:17:59.860 there is a day to come that will reverse the confident judgments of men.

00:18:04.340 The dizzying pace of Trump's first month is so encouraging, not even just because of all the individual things he's done,

00:18:13.080 virtually all of which have been great, but because it means we can still do things.

00:18:18.000 Trump just basically closed up the border.

00:18:19.980 The illegal border crossing has just dropped to nearly zero.

00:18:23.900 We can just do things.

00:18:25.740 We can just rename the Gulf of Mexico.

00:18:28.560 We can just slap tariffs around the world.

00:18:31.780 We can maybe get rid of the income tax.

00:18:33.500 Maybe.

00:18:34.420 But we can do things.

00:18:35.960 We can still control our country.

00:18:39.140 Meanwhile, back at CPAC, J.D. Vance made a beautiful statement,

00:18:43.160 a series of beautiful statements in recent weeks.

00:18:45.620 He was asked about the Christian faith, and he made a really, really important point about the meaning of Christianity.

00:18:54.480 First is, I believe, I think the fundamental tenet of the Christian faith,

00:18:59.540 it's not just a set of good moral principles, though it is that.

00:19:02.480 I think the fundamental tenet of our faith is that the Son of God became man, he died, and he raised himself from the dead.

00:19:11.820 That is the fundamental tenet of the Christian faith, and I think so much flows from that.

00:19:16.660 And I think one lesson that flows from that is that we shouldn't fear death.

00:19:23.500 Of course, death is a very bad thing, but there are much more terrible things than just losing one's life,

00:19:31.360 and importantly, you could lose one's soul.

00:19:33.120 And I think whether it's fighting for the unborn or fighting for peace and security for our citizens,

00:19:39.880 I want us to be the kind of society where my kids can grow up to be virtuous young people,

00:19:46.200 can be good young Christians, of course, because that's what I'm trying to raise them to be,

00:19:51.220 and that's what our public policy is trying to do.

00:19:53.740 Beautiful.

00:19:56.600 This is straight out of C.S. Lewis, not just C.S. Lewis, but out of many, many Christian writers.

00:20:01.840 And it's contradicting the prevailing spirit of the age, which says,

00:20:07.120 if it says anything nice about Christianity at all, it says that Jesus was a nice moral teacher.

00:20:12.880 That's really, we should just learn some lessons, and J.D. Vance is saying,

00:20:16.400 no, no, no, no, he's really not primarily a good moral teacher.

00:20:22.200 The essential fact is that God becomes man and dwells among us and is crucified and is raised from the dead.

00:20:34.620 That's the really important part.

00:20:37.400 The parables are important.

00:20:38.920 Every word uttered by our Lord is important.

00:20:40.600 I don't mean to diminish the importance of his teachings.

00:20:42.880 But what matters is God becomes man.

00:20:47.880 God sends his only begotten Son, the second person of the Holy Trinity.

00:20:53.240 God becomes man, dwells among us, is crucified, dies and is buried, and then is resurrected on the third day.

00:21:03.040 That tells us really practical things about human nature, about our relationship to God,

00:21:08.560 about the forgiveness of sins, about life everlasting, about the meaning of life, about our purpose.

00:21:14.240 At the very least, about how we ought to view death.

00:21:18.560 Because from the political perspective, the resurrection of our Lord is the ultimate political revolution.

00:21:26.720 Inasmuch as the ultimate power that rulers have in pagan societies is the fear of death.

00:21:36.440 That they can punish and kill subjects.

00:21:40.460 And the resurrection of our Lord says, actually, death has no ultimate power on you.

00:21:46.040 That is profoundly important.

00:21:48.100 It is the fact that created our civilization, allowed our civilization to flourish.

00:21:53.260 Even if you don't believe in it, though you should, because all the evidence is for it,

00:21:58.880 but even if you don't believe in it, you have to recognize that is a crucial, pun intended, fact

00:22:04.020 about the civilization once known as Christendom.

00:22:09.220 There's so much more to say first, though.

00:23:18.200 My favorite comment yesterday is from CJ Blake, RF7MV, who says, the racist South African DJ

00:23:26.260 is using the English language because it's inferior, L-M-A-O. 1.00

00:23:29.760 That's a good point. 0.88

00:23:30.640 There was this guy who is South African, he's a black guy, and he's saying, the whites are 0.98

00:23:36.140 inferior. 0.99

00:23:36.880 They are Neanderthals. 0.97

00:23:38.220 They are subhuman, they are this, they are that. 0.91

00:23:41.500 But of course, one notices, he is speaking in English.

00:23:45.340 You know, it's not a lot of clicking or any of, it's not Swahili, it's not, I don't really

00:23:51.680 know what the indigenous language of South Africa is, but it ain't that, he's speaking

00:23:54.780 in English.

00:23:56.160 So, you know, if the white people are so inferior, why are you allowing their language to actually 0.98

00:24:02.840 form the substance of your conscience? 1.00

00:24:05.080 Crazy.

00:24:06.040 Crazy stuff.

00:24:06.680 Now, speaking of moral clarity, the State Department has officially classified a bunch

00:24:14.940 of criminal cartels, drug cartels at the southern border, as foreign terrorist organizations.

00:24:21.620 The U.S. Department of State designated six Mexican drug cartels, plus MS-13, which is a Salvadoran

00:24:30.120 criminal syndicate, plus the Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua, which recently took over Aurora,

00:24:36.680 Colorado.

00:24:37.120 So, Trump has designated them as foreign terrorist organizations.

00:24:40.800 So, this is the State Department following up on an executive order, which instructed

00:24:44.580 them to do that.

00:24:45.260 Now it's happened.

00:24:45.860 What does it mean, practically?

00:24:46.820 I think some people hear this.

00:24:49.040 They heard the executive order.

00:24:50.300 They hear this news report out of the State Department.

00:24:52.080 They think it means that we're going to be harsher in our rhetoric about the drug cartels.

00:25:00.080 It means we're going to, you know, really start to think seriously about them.

00:25:03.380 No, no, no.

00:25:04.220 That designation brings with it real power to the government to take them on.

00:25:10.380 Notably, it means that the commander-in-chief can now use the military against them.

00:25:16.440 I said, the moment that Trump announced that he was going to reclassify these drug cartels

00:25:20.860 as foreign terrorist organizations, I said, oh, so that means he's going to send in a ton 0.99

00:25:25.340 of special operators to just blow these guys' tattooed faces off in the middle of the night.

00:25:30.940 Previously, he was somewhat restricted in unleashing the full force of the U.S. military.

00:25:35.900 Now he can do really whatever he wants.

00:25:37.680 Also, now that these groups are foreign terrorist organizations, it becomes illegal for U.S. persons

00:25:44.460 to provide material support to them, which means that people who are operating in the United States,

00:25:50.800 maybe who are United States citizens, maybe who in some way have legal status,

00:25:54.700 but they're working with these organizations because those organizations control the border,

00:25:58.560 and many, many people who cross the border illegally wind up in debt to these organizations.

00:26:03.140 Well, now it means that those people are committing crimes.

00:26:05.020 Perhaps they could even be deported.

00:26:07.680 This means that the Trump administration can deny entry to people who are linked to these groups.

00:26:14.060 It makes it easier to stop them from coming here in the first place. 0.94

00:26:17.280 It means that the U.S. can coordinate international efforts to stop them.

00:26:20.860 The same way we're able to form an international coalition to take out Saddam Hussein,

00:26:25.020 we can form an international coalition to fight ISIS.

00:26:27.680 Now we can do the same thing for MS-13 or Trende Aragua or any of the other cartels,

00:26:33.360 which pose a far more direct and serious threat to the United States even than ISIS.

00:26:39.700 And then, what it also means is Trump is now free to digitally and financially attack their organizations

00:26:46.200 with far greater severity than they were able to before.

00:26:49.460 All good stuff.

00:26:50.640 This is all really, really good news.

00:26:51.960 Now, a little bit of bad news.

00:26:54.300 There's a report out on Mr. Kanye.

00:26:58.420 It says Kanye West has relapsed and is inhaling nitrous oxide, leaving his memory messed up.

00:27:05.440 Now, you might have heard, I think these reports have been published,

00:27:10.420 that Kanye has an affinity for laughing gas, for nitrous oxide.

00:27:14.300 And I think Milo Yiannopoulos, who was his campaign manager when he was running for president briefly,

00:27:19.820 I think he testified about this.

00:27:21.840 So, you know, one doesn't wish to reveal any personal sins, but this has all been reported in the press.

00:27:28.920 In any case, this is what the report says.

00:27:31.760 Kanye West is back huffing laughing gas again.

00:27:33.900 Multiple concern sources tell the Post.

00:27:36.120 This is the New York Post.

00:27:37.480 When he got back to L.A., he got dental work again, and I think that's when he relapsed,

00:27:41.460 a friend said, referencing his return to the city after six months away at the end of January.

00:27:46.040 The 47-year-old rapper and clothing designer's recently erratic behavior has worsened by using nitrous oxide,

00:27:52.140 commonly known as laughing gas, and anesthetic.

00:27:55.200 I don't want to reveal any personal sins of Kanye.

00:27:59.240 I don't want to engage in the sin of detraction.

00:28:01.660 I'm not, you know, Kanye is an eccentric figure and has been for a long time.

00:28:06.240 But there's an important lesson here.

00:28:08.340 If this report is true, there seems to be some evidence that it's true.

00:28:14.160 Political nerds, political nerds like you and me, we tend to think a lot about ideology.

00:28:21.680 God, did you see the tweet that Kanye sent?

00:28:24.720 He said in all caps that he's a Nazi.

00:28:27.220 And then he was tweeting about doing stuff with various people and different threats. 0.99

00:28:33.340 And then he was tweeting out how much he loved porn. 0.76

00:28:36.760 And then he was just tweeting out porn. 0.61

00:28:38.120 And did you see all the tweets from, wow, what does it mean?

00:28:40.800 What's the ideology?

00:28:41.780 Did he read Mein Kampf one day?

00:28:45.660 Often, behavior is just best explained by vice, by habitual vice,

00:28:53.260 which darkens the intellect and messes up our appetites.

00:28:55.940 It's kind of it.

00:28:57.600 When people come to me, when guys come to me, sometimes they write into the show.

00:29:02.300 Many times they write into the show.

00:29:03.340 They say, I have this problem.

00:29:04.860 I have a problem with women. 1.00

00:29:07.220 You know, I'm either I'm fighting with my girlfriend, I'm fighting with my wife,

00:29:09.480 or I can't attract a girl, and I go on these dates, and it's not satisfying,

00:29:14.360 and this, that, and the other way.

00:29:15.200 They complain about their relationship issues.

00:29:17.980 My first question, always, do you look at pornography?

00:29:21.540 Do you look at porn?

00:29:23.860 Now, I'm not asking, I'm not getting in your head on your grand theories of romance

00:29:27.560 and your understanding of what marriage is.

00:29:30.960 Does it match up with the traditional view and the catechism?

00:29:34.400 Let me just add one quick question.

00:29:36.060 Do you look at porn? 0.99

00:29:37.920 You do. 0.99

00:29:39.000 Okay, wow.

00:29:39.840 So you look at this obscene material that we know warps people's minds

00:29:46.120 and appetites and desires and actually messes up even their biochemistry,

00:29:51.540 and it totally shifts how you view women,

00:29:54.060 and now are you telling me you have problems with women? 0.99

00:29:55.840 Wow.

00:29:57.380 Huh, okay.

00:29:58.100 Hey, come back to me again when you stop doing that.

00:30:00.940 I think with Kanye.

00:30:03.580 Okay, he's tweeting all this crazy stuff.

00:30:05.500 Is it because he read Mein Kampf and he watched Triumph of the Will

00:30:10.960 and now he's just suddenly so taken with Hitler's arguments?

00:30:13.840 Yeah, maybe.

00:30:14.640 Or maybe he just has a drug problem or something, you know? 0.68

00:30:18.440 And actually a porn problem, speaking of.

00:30:20.160 And we know that because he admits that publicly.

00:30:22.880 Maybe it's, maybe we can fix a lot of the problems that we attribute to ideology

00:30:28.900 just by correcting our behavior and cutting out some vice and practicing virtue.

00:30:33.520 I suspect that would go a very, very long way.

00:30:37.340 And then we don't need to be nerds arguing about abstract ideology forever.

00:30:40.540 Now, speaking of vice, transgender cult members who are vegans 1.00

00:30:46.640 have been arrested and charged with murder in Maryland.

00:30:50.900 That's a plot twist, right?

00:30:52.220 Not really.

00:30:53.180 Not really.

00:30:54.800 You know, I've spoken my mind on the gender ideology for a long time,

00:31:01.580 including at CPAC, where I am right now.

00:31:03.240 And I've spoken on many topics, though.

00:31:07.740 And I've been involved in plenty of political campaigns.

00:31:10.340 And I have plenty of ideological interests that I speak on.

00:31:17.220 I rarely have an unexpressed opinion.

00:31:18.720 And the only times that I have been threatened with violence or nearly attacked or actually attacked

00:31:28.000 have been when I have criticized transgenderism or contradicted transgenderism.

00:31:34.760 First time was at UMKC, University of Missouri, Kansas City, in 2017 or 2018.

00:31:39.860 Second time was at the University of Pittsburgh recently where Antifa terrorists tried to blow up the building

00:31:49.040 and actually seriously injured a cop when I was walking on stage.

00:31:51.220 Both times it was about transgenderism.

00:31:53.500 So I'm not surprised.

00:31:54.320 These are very violent political groups.

00:31:59.700 Trans in particular.

00:32:01.980 Okay?

00:32:02.440 But the thing that's kind of funny is the vegan thing.

00:32:07.120 Though it makes sense.

00:32:07.800 Every vegan you know, I bet, just about, is in favor of abortion.

00:32:12.700 They would never harm the Delta smelt.

00:32:14.880 They won't eat an anchovy. 1.00

00:32:16.180 But they'll happily kill a human baby. 0.99

00:32:18.560 But this story is pretty crazy. 1.00

00:32:20.120 Just the broad strokes of it.

00:32:23.260 It's this cult called the Zizians. 0.99

00:32:26.540 They are linked to several deaths.

00:32:28.440 Andy Ngo, a great reporter, especially on Antifa, has a great thread on the subject.

00:32:33.140 The Zizians have been tied to the killing of a U.S. border patrol agent,

00:32:37.320 David Milland, near the Canadian border.

00:32:40.420 They've been linked to five other homicides in Vermont, Pennsylvania, California. 0.98

00:32:45.700 You know what I say to this transgender, murderous, vegan cult? 1.00

00:32:50.260 So much for the tolerant left. 0.99

00:32:52.740 You know?

00:32:54.100 You know, so much for the tolerant left.

00:32:56.780 I hate that phrase.

00:32:58.400 It's just like the laziest phrase you could possibly hear in political commentary.

00:33:02.280 Because, of course, the left is not peaceful or tolerant at all. 0.59

00:33:05.400 But these people in particular are seriously misanthropic.

00:33:09.140 And it really is always the ones you most expect.

00:33:11.600 Because when we're talking about this kind of people in particular,

00:33:14.780 they are divorced from reality.

00:33:17.980 They have a fundamental misunderstanding of the world or a willful misunderstanding of the world.

00:33:23.500 And they are misanthropic in the truest sense in that they hate their own actual human identities.

00:33:28.940 And they hate human identity, period.

00:33:30.400 And the fact that our identities are linked with our bodies and we don't have a choice over it.

00:33:34.240 We can't change it.

00:33:35.560 That is serious misanthropy.

00:33:37.300 And it is why they are angry a lot of the time.

00:33:40.500 And why they become violent and, in some cases, commit murders.

00:34:40.260 Hey, Mike.

00:34:41.460 So I just saw your fantastic debate informants in that Jubilee video where you were talking to a bunch of LGBTQ activists.

00:34:48.620 One of the things that they kept trying to do was accuse you of being poorly motivated. 0.98

00:34:52.620 And one of the guys afterwards was saying, all you do is try to get people to have emotional reactions to what you say so that you can make them look dumb. 0.94

00:35:04.340 And my whole thing is, even if that were the case, who cares? 0.87

00:35:11.080 They should still be able to win the debate if they're right.

00:35:14.700 Like, who cares how poorly motivated you are?

00:35:17.240 That should make it easier for them to take apart your arguments. 0.98

00:35:19.800 And in my opinion, the only people that complain about their opponent's tactics are losers.

00:35:26.240 And there were a lot of people complaining about your tactics that evening.

00:35:29.340 So what are your thoughts?

00:35:30.640 Would that be something that you would employ in another debate?

00:35:32.880 Thanks.

00:35:33.060 Yeah, that's a good point.

00:35:35.580 I mean, their premise is false.

00:35:38.540 I understand you're saying, well, even if the premise were true, you know, what would it matter?

00:35:41.900 But their premise is false.

00:35:43.440 They're saying that I wish ill on them or that one guy said I was just trying to push his buttons, you know.

00:35:52.260 But that is very much not what I do.

00:35:55.460 In fact, I'm kind of rare in political commentary and even on the right in that I really am not just provoking for provoking sake.

00:36:05.640 I'm happy to be convinced by nuance or subtlety or whatever.

00:36:11.100 I maintain my composure.

00:36:12.840 I don't use nasty, obscene language or anything like that.

00:36:16.280 So I don't know.

00:36:17.160 I think the reason that so many of those interlocutors maligned me and questioned my motives is because they had nothing else to say.

00:36:29.180 They couldn't answer the point, the arguments.

00:36:33.300 So they just said, well, you're a meanie or something.

00:36:37.620 But your point is quite good.

00:36:40.200 Yeah, even if I hated their guts, they should still just answer the arguments.

00:36:47.360 But of course they can't.

00:36:48.860 Next question.

00:36:49.820 Hey, Michael.

00:36:54.420 As a Catholic preparing for an upcoming marriage, I've been revisiting the Gospels to strengthen both my relationship with God and the Church.

00:37:03.180 In this pursuit, I've become curious about the non-canonical Gospels, particularly the Gospel of Thomas.

00:37:09.460 Do you believe these non-canonical works hold any value for study or spiritual growth, especially for someone seeking to deepen their faith?

00:37:18.140 Thanks for your time and all the incredible work you do.

00:37:20.240 Good question.

00:37:22.180 No, they have value as quirks of the 4th century.

00:37:28.700 They have value as evidence of what the Gnostics believed.

00:37:33.140 Not of what the Christians believed, but of what the Gnostics believed. 0.82

00:37:36.520 They have value in as much as they're weird, and that's illuminating in some ways.

00:37:43.020 But no, they don't have any value for Christians, and we know this from antiquity. 0.99

00:37:48.680 Early Christian writers discussed the Gospel of Thomas, so-called Gospel of Thomas.

00:37:53.800 But even to call it a Gospel, albeit a non-canonical Gospel, is really giving it much more credit than it deserves.

00:38:02.220 The actual Gospels are written within living memory of the events that they describe.

00:38:07.400 The so-called Gospel of Thomas is from the 4th century.

00:38:11.280 It's like centuries later.

00:38:14.380 And it depicts a person who might be named Jesus, but who is a rather different person than the actual Jesus.

00:38:24.680 You'd even have to be specific on what you mean by the Gospel of Thomas.

00:38:27.740 There are two books that purport to be Gospel of Thomas.

00:38:30.280 One is a sayings gospel, you know, just purported quotes of our Lord, which are not real.

00:38:36.540 And then the other is the infancy gospel, which involves all sorts of heretical nonsense.

00:38:41.140 So, no.

00:38:42.060 If you are seeking to deepen your Christian faith, then you should read the Christian works.

00:38:47.460 You know, the Church Fathers, the Ecumenical Councils, they did a good job at figuring out which books are legit and which books are not.

00:38:56.680 And I don't think we need to upend that with 4th century Gnostic nonsense. 1.00

00:39:01.680 Next question.

00:39:02.280 Happy Feast of St. Valentine, love Dr. Knowles.

00:39:08.660 It's the Shuckmeister, and I'm checking myself in for a little dating advice.

00:39:12.500 I've had a hard time getting past the first date.

00:39:14.740 I've been trying to date more traditional girls, especially those from the Latin Mass, and they seem the least likely to want to go on a second date.

00:39:21.520 I just do the typical date activities like dinners and outings instead of rizzing them up with my diatribes about the Fourth Laddering Council. 0.96

00:39:28.740 I feel like I'm finally in a place where I've cultivated a lot of virtue and I'm ready for something more.

00:39:33.200 But the dating pool is very, very poor right now.

00:39:35.620 I know you always say dating should be fun, and you're right, until I get ghosted or rejected.

00:39:40.200 What would you recommend in my situation?

00:39:42.440 Thanks.

00:39:42.740 Yeah, you're in a tough spot.

00:39:44.360 And folks, you know, I know the Shuckmeister. 0.93

00:39:47.400 I personally know many of the members of the Chame de la Chame, but I know the Shuckmeister because I see him at Latin Mass.

00:39:54.940 So, lovely gals there. 1.00

00:39:58.080 But one issue about dating at the Latin Mass, I've heard this for years now.

00:40:03.400 Dating at the Latin Mass is kind of like dating in Alaska.

00:40:07.700 The odds are good, but the goods are odd.

00:40:09.520 And I say this as someone who attends the Latin Mass.

00:40:11.920 I love the Latin Mass.

00:40:13.260 I love it more than almost anything in this world.

00:40:18.280 But, you know, it attracts a quirky kind of set.

00:40:21.980 So your problem, Shuckmeister, since I know you personally, I can say you're a normal kind of guy.

00:40:27.620 You know, you dress well, you speak normally, you want to take a woman out to a nice dinner. 0.93

00:40:31.900 But if you want to date at the Latin Mass, you need to show up in like a horse-drawn carriage with mules.

00:40:37.620 And you need to go take the woman to milk some cows or something and churn butter. 1.00

00:40:43.500 I don't, you know, I mean, you've got to do, it's not, you're too normal.

00:40:48.460 And that's a problem.

00:40:49.540 So I don't mean to be glib in my response to you.

00:40:51.580 I know it's tricky out there.

00:40:53.680 But what would I look at?

00:40:54.860 If I were you, I would look at, well, keep looking around the TLM, you know.

00:40:58.860 There's some nice ladies around there. 1.00

00:41:00.580 But you might also look more broadly at Catholic social groups.

00:41:05.640 There are plenty of them.

00:41:07.100 You might look at friends of friends.

00:41:09.440 I think that's really helpful.

00:41:11.400 I know it's not abstract enough for modern liberal sensibilities.

00:41:15.320 But I think like people you go to school, you've gone to school with or people that you've worked with or friends of friends or being set up on blind dates or that sort of thing.

00:41:23.160 I think that's good.

00:41:24.220 I think the personal connection is a good thing.

00:41:27.240 But I would expand that circle out a little bit.

00:41:29.220 I understand why, in principle, one would say, well, the Latin Mass is the first place to go.

00:41:33.120 It's probably the first place that I would go to look if I were single.

00:41:37.580 God forbid if I were single.

00:41:39.080 But, you know, if it's not working out, all right, expand it out a little bit.

00:41:43.900 You know, maybe look at that Catholic young adult, whatever, you know, or mid-20s meetup group or whatever.

00:41:51.760 You know, I would just expand it out a little bit.

00:41:54.880 It's okay.

00:41:55.320 And keep going on dates.

00:41:56.220 And keep being your normal self.

00:41:57.580 I'm not saying you really need to hire the mule-drawn carriage and go churn butter.

00:42:01.660 You are who you are.

00:42:02.680 You're going to be a charming guy in your own right.

00:42:04.600 Go for that.

00:42:06.440 All right.

00:42:07.000 Last one.

00:42:07.780 This is parental advice.

00:42:09.340 Hello, Mr. Knowles.

00:42:13.160 I am looking for some advice on how to effectively and yet respectfully communicate a difference of religious opinions to one's parents.

00:42:21.360 I grew up in a very non-denominational charismatic household.

00:42:25.380 My father and my uncle.

00:42:27.700 In fact, my entire family is very, very conservative and religious.

00:42:32.080 However, I have recently converted to the Anglo-Catholic Church.

00:42:35.740 Um, and I know you might not consider it to be Catholic, but coming from my background, my parents certainly find it to be much too Catholic.

00:42:44.520 They have largely accepted or at least realized that I am staunch in my decision, yet I still get videos about explain the saints, explain this aspect, make sure you don't listen too much to tradition, make sure you still allow freedom, which are true things.

00:43:01.840 But there's always just this undertone of what you're doing is a little silly or you should come back to us.

00:43:06.900 So I'm wondering how I might, uh, responsibly and effectively communicate a difference of opinion on something with my parents.

00:43:15.120 On a separate note, when is there going to be some nice, juicy, delicious Mayflower pipe tobacco?

00:43:21.040 I love cigars, but I love pipes even more.

00:43:23.780 I look forward to a response.

00:43:25.380 Thanks.

00:43:26.200 The pipe tobacco, it's not my expertise.

00:43:28.120 I have, I smoke a pipe once a year and I have for probably 20 years, but I'm just not good enough at it.

00:43:34.420 I can't, cigars are a little bit of an expertise.

00:43:38.580 So I know I can make a great cigar product, but the pipes, uh, well, you'll, we'll have to leave it.

00:43:42.940 Maybe we'll create a subsidiary with you.

00:43:45.580 As for your parents, it's kind of, kind of interesting that you've converted to Anglo-Catholicism, which is Anglicanism.

00:43:52.840 You know, it's a form of Protestantism, but it's a high church Protestantism that has a lot of trappings,

00:43:57.860 of Catholicism, and even a fair bit of Catholic theology, uh, but no Pope.

00:44:03.420 And it's just, it's interesting.

00:44:05.480 There aren't that many people who convert to Anglo-Catholic Protestantism.

00:44:09.960 Andrew Clavin is one who has done that too, and he loves his Anglo-Catholic church.

00:44:13.300 So that alone, it's quite interesting.

00:44:15.440 And it's understandable if your parents are, uh, lower church Protestants who, uh, you know,

00:44:23.360 not only don't like the liturgical aspects of what you're getting into now, but probably disagree in a lot of theological things.

00:44:28.900 You know, it's, it's perfectly understandable.

00:44:31.100 And they're your parents, and you owe them respect.

00:44:32.960 So when they ask you questions, it's a great opportunity to answer those questions.

00:44:36.160 People ask me all the time, why do you confess your sins to a priest?

00:44:40.760 Why do you believe that our Lord is really and truly present in the Eucharist?

00:44:43.440 Why do you pray to Mary?

00:44:45.060 Why do you do this, that?

00:44:46.340 What a great opportunity to tell them the scriptural basis for those practices and beliefs.

00:44:53.240 What a great opportunity to deepen your own understanding of what you believe.

00:44:56.900 What a great opportunity to maybe pull them over.

00:44:58.720 That's great.

00:44:59.300 Now, when they say, you know, don't do this, don't do that, when they start haranguing you about it,

00:45:02.700 you can say, listen, listen, mom and dad, I'm just telling you, this is biblical.

00:45:07.440 And then hopefully we'll get to pull you all the way across the Tiber, too,

00:45:10.640 so that you come all the way to Rome.

00:45:11.940 But in any case, you can say, look, this is a biblical practice.

00:45:14.760 Confession is biblical.

00:45:16.540 The Eucharist is biblical.

00:45:17.860 Look, in the writings of the church fathers, very early church fathers,

00:45:20.620 you can see the Eucharist, the belief in the true presence of Christ in the Eucharist.

00:45:25.600 You see it in Scripture, too, in John chapter 6.

00:45:27.680 And it's an opportunity to evangelize.

00:45:30.920 What more could you ask for?

00:45:31.700 Okay, no member block today because I'm still here in the imperial capital,

00:45:37.640 and I've got to get out of Dodge.

00:45:39.080 So I apologize that we've not had sufficient Membrum Segmentum this week

00:45:44.660 because of, you know, the Daily Wire shuts down for three snowflakes,

00:45:47.660 and then I fly to D.C.

00:45:49.580 But, I don't know, we need to do extra Membrum Segmentum next week.

00:45:53.480 I look forward to it.

00:45:54.260 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:45:54.880 This is The Michael Knowles Show.
