00:00:37.720 A Satanist is arrested in Kansas City after a Catholic hero stymies his stupid black mass. 0.98

00:00:44.600 The U.K. is instituting a two-tier system of justice that punishes white men more harshly than everyone else for the exact same crimes.

00:00:53.020 And global trade as we know it might come to an end in two days.

00:00:57.480 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:00:58.160 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:14.160 Welcome back to the show.

00:01:19.540 We have got my friend Lila Rose coming on the show to talk about even better news.

00:01:26.160 It seems like the Trump administration, it's just W after W after W.

00:01:29.420 There's even better news coming out of education than you have probably read about all throughout the United States.

00:01:36.120 We'll get to that in a little bit.

00:01:37.880 First, I'm told, you know that I've sold more Smells and Bells candles than maybe any candle maker ever has in the history of wax.

00:01:45.720 Well, my friend Mr. Walsh is apparently trying to beat my candle making here by selling his goat candle.

00:01:57.220 So, I don't know why you would want your home to smell like a goat.

00:02:01.440 I have the Smells and Bells candle.

00:02:03.200 It makes your home smell a lot better.

00:02:04.520 So, head on over.

00:02:05.820 There you go.

00:02:06.680 Look at that.

00:02:07.080 It's kind of nice, huh?

00:02:08.340 Head on over to thecandleclub.com slash Michael today.

00:02:11.720 That was spooky.

00:02:22.940 There's so much more to say.

00:02:24.120 First, though, go to showallegiance.com.

00:02:27.260 Enter promo code Knowles.

00:02:28.360 I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America that was made right here in America by the good folks at Allegiance Flag Supply.

00:02:37.940 Okay, that's the first thought that crosses my mind when I see this beautiful, hand-sewn American flag flying, not just in one spot.

00:02:47.380 You know, I've told you this.

00:02:48.060 I've flown for many years at a flag in the back of my car, in my windshield.

00:02:52.220 But then I also have an allegiance flag for the front of my house.

00:02:55.420 I also have an allegiance flag in my office.

00:02:58.000 I also have an allegiance flag in my studio.

00:02:59.960 I love these flags.

00:03:00.780 Okay, man, there's no better way to celebrate America's golden age than by getting a beautiful, hand-sewn flag from America to represent America.

00:03:10.520 Really important, okay, because the American flag has been discouraged in recent years, all right, and other flags have risen to take their place.

00:03:18.780 Well, not anymore.

00:03:39.080 Showallegiance.com.

00:03:40.440 Code Knowles at checkout for American flags made the American way.

00:03:45.500 That was a really great transition, by the way, to this story, which is about Catholics just totally destroying Satanists in Kansas City. 0.75

00:03:55.040 So, for weeks now, we've had Satanists bragging about how they're going to hold a black mass. 0.85

00:04:03.080 And a black mass is this satanic mockery of the Holy Mass, which the Holy Mass we've had for 2,000 years. 1.00

00:04:10.180 And they said they're going to do it, and they're going to do it at the Kansas City State House.

00:04:14.520 And they're going to stand.

00:04:15.500 This is, you know, public property, and it's their exercise of their First Amendment.

00:04:19.440 And it really tests the limits of liberalism, of this idea that free speech means, you know, the supposed right to mock God on public property.

00:04:34.640 The notion that the American Republic is predicated on a totally secular, downright atheistic understanding of the world, all of which is anti-historical.

00:04:46.440 It's not true.

00:04:47.200 But this is what the libs have been pushing.

00:04:50.000 So, these big jerks show up, and they start to hold their black mass. 1.00

00:04:55.020 Now, the rub with the black mass is, in order to do it, they need something that they do not possess, namely, the consecrated host. 0.99

00:05:06.860 So, in a holy mass, you have the blessed sacrament at the center of the mass, the communion wafer, which the priest consecrates, and it becomes the body, blood, soul, and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ.

00:05:18.640 So, the Satanists in the black mass steal the Eucharist and then desecrate it. 0.95

00:05:26.660 That's the centerpiece of the satanic black mass. 1.00

00:05:29.040 So, the rumor was that they had stolen a consecrated host.

00:05:34.620 Now, the consecrated host is not their property.

00:05:39.060 The consecrated host is something that the Catholic Church possesses.

00:05:42.680 You're not allowed to just go up and take one and go do whatever you wish with it.

00:05:45.780 So, the question at hand is, did they actually get the consecrated host?

00:05:52.300 Did they steal the host from the Catholic Church?

00:05:54.900 And they said, according to the reporting, the Satanists admitted under oath that they did not steal a consecrated host.

00:06:03.380 But Satanists would never lie, right?

00:06:05.120 Like, you'd never, you know, there's no chance that people who worship the devil would ever lie.

00:06:09.160 So, in any case, whether it were merely symbolic or whether they actually did the thing that Satanists do, which is to steal a consecrated host and desecrate it.

00:06:17.480 In any case, Catholics were rather upset about this.

00:06:19.920 And as this wacko decides that he's going to throw the host on the ground, which, if it's consecrated, we believe is the body, blood, soul, and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ. 0.90

00:06:30.240 And which the Satanist seems to believe as well, because that the actual force of desecrating the host comes from its consecration, comes from the fact that he is actually stomping on God.

00:06:41.380 As he does this, a Catholic hero in Kansas City dives on it and eats the host. 0.97

00:06:47.980 That is, receives the Eucharist so that the Satanists couldn't desecrate it.

00:06:52.240 Silence, God.

00:06:53.520 There he is.

00:06:58.740 He starts, as he starts stomping on it, this guy dives down.

00:07:01.400 It's kind of hard to see on the camera angle.

00:07:02.700 Here we go, someone.

00:07:04.080 Grab one.

00:07:05.500 Grab one.

00:07:07.560 And then they start.

00:07:09.420 Assault.

00:07:10.360 This guy.

00:07:11.560 So, the Satanist then starts, he screams assault and then starts assaulting the guy.

00:07:17.420 So, it sounds like he's saying, I'm being assaulted.

00:07:20.240 But, he yells assault almost as an imperative.

00:07:24.360 Hey, let's assault this guy. 1.00

00:07:25.780 Which, again, makes me believe this was a consecrated host.

00:07:29.660 This is something that is very, very valuable to Christians, to people who fear God, and to people who hate God.

00:07:39.200 But this is something that clearly has real value.

00:07:41.140 And then the cops intervene.

00:07:42.280 And then these weirdos get arrested, which is great.

00:07:47.300 I think, as far as I'm concerned, pretty much all the Satanists could be arrested.

00:07:50.600 I wouldn't bat an eyelash about it.

00:07:54.580 What is this about?

00:07:56.600 Why are they doing this?

00:07:59.060 Why are they doing this?

00:08:00.220 Why are the Catholics so offended?

00:08:01.940 Why is this a national news story?

00:08:03.560 Because it gets to a real question about what America is.

00:08:10.680 Are we this totally secular place, founded in a notion of liberty that means that we can do whatever we please, whenever we want to do it, no matter how disordered, no matter how antisocial, no matter how downright evil.

00:08:23.660 Or is America a Christian country that actually does have limits? 0.82

00:08:29.980 We have physical limits, like the border around our country.

00:08:32.740 We have limits to speech that have always existed from the very founding of our country, from before the founding era, going back into the 17th century when the first settlers got here.

00:08:42.360 Are there rules of decorum?

00:08:44.480 Are certain views privileged and certain views less privileged in the public square?

00:08:50.400 You know, you can have a Christian display in the public square.

00:08:52.600 Maybe you don't have the Satanist display.

00:08:55.620 What is it?

00:08:56.420 I know the modern libs would say that latter view is absolutely horrible, antithetical to America.

00:09:00.340 But just as a matter of history, the latter view is the one that is correct. 0.99

00:09:05.460 We're a Christian country.

00:09:06.980 Just go back and read the writings of virtually any of the men who built our country, from the Mayflower, which is a great cigar company, all the way up through the late 18th century, all the way up through modern times.

00:09:18.720 It was in the mid-20th century that we added one nation under God to our Pledge of Allegiance.

00:09:26.460 We have God in our money.

00:09:27.760 We've had our God in our money for a long time.

00:09:29.220 We've had in God we trust in our national anthem for almost 200 years now.

00:09:35.500 It's a Christian country, and we don't do this. 1.00

00:09:39.860 We don't tolerate this stuff.

00:09:41.580 Notice also, just one little observation on this.

00:09:45.080 One last little observation.

00:09:47.980 These guys always attack Catholicism.

00:09:50.540 It's the Black Mass. 0.60

00:09:54.040 It's a mockery of the Catholic Mass.

00:09:56.140 It's not a mockery of some Methodist service.

00:10:00.300 It's not a mockery of the electric guitar service, of a non-denominational church.

00:10:06.920 They're always mocking the Catholics. 0.74

00:10:10.240 Even in Hollywood movies, the depictions of religion, when you see depictions of Christianity, it's always the confessional with a priest, even though America isn't particularly Catholic.

00:10:18.220 Just notice, to me, this is a good argument for God and God's church.

00:10:27.480 I know the secularists are going to be looking at this display, and they're going to say, what a bunch of wackos.

00:10:32.360 The atheists are going to look at this and say, two groups of lunatics fighting over their imaginary friend.

00:10:38.140 That's what they think when they see people wrestling over a consecrated host on the steps of the Kansas City Capitol.

00:10:44.300 But I was an atheist for a long time.

00:10:47.400 I was a secularist for a while, too.

00:10:49.000 But especially now, as we're having deeper conversations about our polity, about our society, about the eternal things, as the fashionable new atheism of the 2000s fades away, and we're really starting to talk about the eternal questions again in a serious way.

00:11:01.320 Maybe ask yourself if there is some legitimate reason that these groups are coming to blows over something that you think is a cracker.

00:11:14.760 Maybe when the Satanists and the Christians agree on the significance of something, maybe they have a point. 1.00

00:11:25.960 Maybe it's worth paying attention.

00:11:27.560 We are seeing increasingly brazen attacks on God from the left.

00:11:31.760 Georgia State Representative, Darshan Kendrick, just explicitly attacked God while protesting a pro-life bill.

00:11:42.960 So this woman, I think it's a woman, I don't know the gender of the name, Darshan, D-A-R apostrophe S-H-U-N, but I think it looks like a woman, says, America and Georgia are not a theocracy.

00:11:58.600 I think she means theocracy.

00:12:00.080 There's a small, she added a small little H in there.

00:12:02.180 And then says, your God is not everyone's God.

00:12:06.680 Okay.

00:12:08.520 Yes, he is, first of all.

00:12:10.240 But second of all, the liberals don't understand the meaning of the word theocracy.

00:12:16.400 A theocracy is government by clerics, by religious clerics. 0.62

00:12:20.400 That's not what America is.

00:12:21.780 That's not what anybody wants America to be.

00:12:24.600 However, there's a huge gap.

00:12:27.500 There's a lot of room between theocracy and atheist government.

00:12:33.340 Okay.

00:12:34.300 There's a huge gap because in the middle, there are people who are not clerics, who can run the government, who nevertheless have religious views.

00:12:40.680 And they could have Christian views.

00:12:41.820 They could have Jewish views.

00:12:43.120 They could have Muslim views.

00:12:44.340 They could have Zoroastrian views.

00:12:46.000 But they recognize that religion is what human conflict ultimately comes down to, and that informs their view of the law, which necessarily is the case. 0.94

00:12:53.860 That's true even for the atheists who hate God.

00:12:55.940 Now, their moral views have to come from somewhere.

00:12:59.620 So they don't know what theocracy is.

00:13:01.420 But then furthermore, they also don't know what is meant by God because they think that you can have a society just in a vacuum.

00:13:11.920 So you take God out of it, and then we're all just neutral.

00:13:14.360 But that's not really how it works.

00:13:15.440 There are really just three options.

00:13:16.680 The options are a society based on the idea that there is God, that there is one God, Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and the Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

00:13:29.560 Well, I don't need to recite the whole Nicene Creed, but one God who Christians believe are three persons in one divine unity.

00:13:39.060 That's one idea.

00:13:40.340 Then there is paganism, the notion that there are many gods, the sun god, the sea god, the earth god, the whatever god.

00:13:48.760 And then there is atheism, the notion that there is no god.

00:13:53.140 And where does everything come from?

00:13:54.380 Where does meaning come from?

00:13:55.300 Where does morality come from?

00:13:56.240 Why do we have a law?

00:13:57.000 What is human?

00:13:57.580 We don't know.

00:13:59.960 But those are the only options, and you have to pick one of them.

00:14:04.940 So in America, as an historical matter, we've been a Christian country.

00:14:09.340 We're a country based on the notion that there is one God, and we are made in the image of God.

00:14:15.980 And that creates a kind of society.

00:14:19.400 There are plenty of other polities that are pagan societies.

00:14:22.480 We're not that.

00:14:24.280 The libs want to turn us into the third version, which is that there's no God.

00:14:28.140 But they want to pretend.

00:14:29.820 I don't even mind so much that they're offering this as an alternative.

00:14:33.700 They say, we hate Christian society.

00:14:35.380 We want to become an atheist society.

00:14:37.720 Though in practice, they really want to be a pagan society because they want to sacrifice babies to the climate gods and all that kind of stuff.

00:14:43.080 But they're not aware of that.

00:14:44.060 So I wouldn't even mind it so much if they just came out and said, yeah, we want an atheist society.

00:14:49.500 But it's alternately the ignorance and the deceit that we're just going to have a neutral society, that the atheist society is just totally neutral for everyone.

00:14:59.720 That's not it.

00:15:00.280 There are three options.

00:15:01.040 You get to pick one.

00:15:02.120 Which society do you want to live in?

00:15:03.640 The Christian society, the pagan society, or the atheist society?

00:15:07.600 I think you want to live in the Christian one. 0.99

00:15:11.700 And as I've said for some years now, if you think Christian nationalism is bad, just wait until you see unchristian nationalism. 0.96

00:15:17.900 There's so much more to say.

00:15:19.060 First, though, go to CozyEarth.com.

00:15:38.180 I was thinking, actually, just this morning how much I adore my bedding.

00:15:43.360 And now, for me, I would just get one set of sheets, and then I'd be good forever, like in my bachelor days.

00:15:48.460 Did I have multiple sets of sheets?

00:15:49.800 I don't think so.

00:15:50.400 But sweet little Elisa, you know, she likes to change them every now and again, launder them. 0.99

00:15:54.900 And that means that you need to stock up on your Cozy Earth.

00:15:58.620 That means that I need to stock up on even more Cozy Earth than I already have, and I have a lot of it.

00:16:42.040 Really toxic stuff coming from the Democrats.

00:16:44.740 Defending black masses, making fun of God as an elected official. 0.94

00:16:49.940 It's just not, that's not going to play in Peoria.

00:16:53.280 You don't need to take my word for it.

00:16:54.620 Even Gavin Newsom, who is one of the leading contenders for the Democrat nomination for president next cycle.

00:17:01.780 He says the Democrat brand is toxic.

00:17:05.640 These guys are crushing us.

00:17:07.740 The Democratic brand is toxic right now.

00:17:09.980 We had a high watermark two weeks ago, and that was a CNN poll at 29% favorability.

00:17:14.800 It's dropped in the NBC poll down to 27%.

00:17:18.240 It's one thing to make noise, but you also have to make sense.

00:17:21.240 And I think with this podcast and having the opportunity to dialogue with people I disagree with, it's an opportunity to try to find common ground and not take cheap shots.

00:17:29.000 I'm not looking to put a spoke in the wheel of their, or at least a crowbar in the spokes of their wheel to trip them up, to your point.

00:17:34.580 And I think it's important, Democrats, we tend to be a little more judgmental than we should be.

00:17:40.260 This notion of cancel culture, you've been living it, you've been on the receiving end of it for years and years and years.

00:17:45.160 That's real, and Democrats need to own up to that.

00:17:48.140 Okay, so this is the clearest sign yet of something that I at least was calling some weeks ago.

00:17:54.080 I think a number of other people figured it out too.

00:17:57.940 Newsom is having his sister soldier moment.

00:17:59.860 He's having his big pivot here.

00:18:01.240 He's disavowing the far left of his party, and he's going to position himself as the centrist for the presidential cycle.

00:18:07.680 That's kind of funny because Newsom has been on the bleeding edge of the left side of his party for decades at this point.

00:18:14.060 He was officiating so-called gay weddings in 2004 when that was explicitly outlawed by federal law.

00:18:21.680 Newsom has, well, he allowed one of his cities to burn to the ground because of his extreme policies.

00:18:28.880 He used the word latinx when even members of the Democrat Party were making fun of it.

00:18:36.480 He's pro-transgenderism, all this kind of stuff.

00:18:40.500 So why the pivot?

00:18:42.500 Because he sees which way the winds are blowing.

00:18:45.180 If you want to know how to run a government, don't ask Gavin Newsom.

00:18:48.740 But if you want to know how to win an election, the guy's actually got some insight.

00:18:53.680 And he survived that recall election in California, even after it was clear what a bad governor he was.

00:18:57.740 He knows a thing or two.

00:18:58.700 He's a meticulous politician, and he's making a pivot now.

00:19:03.080 His podcast is a big part of that.

00:19:04.580 And even looking at his podcast, at the setup of it, I realized just how meticulous he is.

00:19:09.180 Because his podcast, in its aesthetic, is directly copying the first successful politician podcast ever, a podcast that coincidentally I co-hosted for years, Verdict with Ted Cruz.

00:19:23.740 With Verdict, when we set up that podcast, we made sure we had a certain kind of leather chair, that the seats were a certain distance apart.

00:19:32.080 There was no table.

00:19:33.140 There was no desk.

00:19:33.880 It was not formal.

00:19:35.300 It was this way.

00:19:35.960 It was that way.

00:19:36.420 We spent a long time crafting the aesthetic of that podcast.

00:19:40.640 Gavin Newsom took it.

00:19:41.900 Now that kind of aesthetic has become more common.

00:19:44.700 But Gavin Newsom took it.

00:19:46.220 And I know exactly how it happened.

00:19:47.800 Newsom said, okay, I need to be more relatable.

00:19:50.920 I need to be more likable.

00:19:52.320 I need to reach people in a more intimate way, which is the reason for a politician to do a podcast in the first place.

00:19:58.040 And so what's the most successful version of that?

00:20:00.100 The most successful version of that kind of podcast is Verdict with Ted Cruz.

00:20:03.840 So I'm going to copy that.

00:20:05.360 I'm going to reach across the aisle.

00:20:07.460 I'm going to try to have people on from the popular, successful political movement, which is MAGA.

00:20:12.380 That's why he had Charlie Kirk on as the first guest, followed shortly by Steve Bannon.

00:20:16.300 Not even just regular Republicans, but people who are close to Trump, who have their finger on the pulse of MAGA.

00:20:23.840 That's what I'm going to do, and it's going to work for me.

00:20:25.700 And we'll see.

00:20:26.660 It might work.

00:20:28.140 But there is a civil war right now in the Democrat Party.

00:20:30.440 So Newsom has carved out that lane.

00:20:33.600 I'm going to be the centrist guy.

00:20:36.080 On the other side, you have people like Tim Walz who come out and they say, well, in Tim Walz's case, he was doing a political rally with Beto O'Rourke.

00:20:46.560 No better way to set yourself up to win an election than to campaign with a guy who is absolutely expert at losing elections that he's supposed to win.

00:20:57.140 He goes out there in Tim Walz's thesis is the reason the Democrats lost is not because they've gone too far to the left, not because they've gone too far to the extremes.

00:21:04.200 No, no, it's because they're not woke enough.

00:21:08.240 Our strength is our diversity.

00:21:10.680 We've been talking about this for years as a country of immigrants, and we let them define the issue on immigration.

00:21:17.420 We let them define the issue on D&I, D&I, and we let them define what woke is.

00:21:24.560 We got ourselves in this mess because we weren't bold enough to stand up and say, you damn right were proud of these policies.

00:21:30.840 We're going to put them in and we're going to execute them.

00:21:34.200 Okay, so he says that the Democrats let the Republicans define the issue on immigration, define the issue on D&I, define the issue on all of these woke policy.

00:21:49.360 What is wokeness?

00:21:51.200 I just don't think that's true.

00:21:54.560 The reason people turned against mass migration is not because Republicans define the issue.

00:21:59.460 It's because they recognize that there are now 11 to 16 million foreigners in their country, and that's a conservative number.

00:22:06.020 And they heard Joe Biden and the Democrats welcome them in, encourage them to come to the border.

00:22:11.940 And they've seen that those migrants, many of whom have face tattoos and worship Satan and commit murders and rapes, they realize that they're not good for the country. 0.99

00:22:21.040 That's not Republicans' fault because they just defined an issue.

00:22:23.220 You know, words, words, words.

00:22:24.320 That's all it really comes down to.

00:22:26.240 It's the underlying realities of Democrat policies that turned people against the Democrats.

00:22:32.880 The Republicans defined DEI.

00:22:34.560 No, you did.

00:22:35.200 The definition of DEI that you put forward is diversity, equity, and inclusion.

00:22:39.780 And what that means is racial and sexual discrimination, notably against white men, but against other people to lesser degrees as well.

00:22:47.460 Well, and Americans don't like that.

00:22:51.060 Americans voted for meritocracy or a colorblind society or any of the other ways that President Trump campaigned on it.

00:22:59.380 You can like that.

00:23:00.280 You can hate that.

00:23:01.020 You can think there are problems with that.

00:23:02.080 But that's what the American people voted for.

00:23:03.540 It's not because Republicans define the issue.

00:23:05.380 Republicans define the issue on wokeness.

00:23:07.160 No, you're the ones who forced the big husky dudes into the girls' changing room. 0.99

00:23:11.900 We didn't define that issue.

00:23:13.200 It was just a reality that people turned against.

00:23:15.160 And so what does Tim Walls say?

00:23:18.400 Based on his mistaken premise that the Democrats just let Republicans hypnotize people with their rhetoric and propaganda, he's taking the Howard Dean approach.

00:23:28.120 When Howard Dean took over the DNC in the mid-2000s, he said, we're not going to pivot.

00:23:32.160 We've been losing elections.

00:23:33.240 We're not going to pivot to the center.

00:23:34.380 We're going to move further to the left.

00:23:35.620 And it actually did work for the Democrats because Bush became unpopular, because the Iraq War became unpopular.

00:23:40.000 I don't know that that's going to work here.

00:23:43.060 We'll see.

00:23:43.640 I guess if there's a recession, if wars get worse, not better, in Ukraine and Gaza, if Trump's policies fail, then in fairness to Tim Walls, this might work.

00:23:58.880 But I'm pretty skeptical.

00:24:01.440 I'm pretty skeptical.

00:24:02.760 The American people voted against specific issues, notably wokeness, DEI, and open borders.

00:24:13.020 It's going to be really hard to change that.

00:24:14.300 However, I might be probably the only person on the American right who is giving any credence to what Tim Walls is saying here.

00:24:21.340 The circumstances are somewhat similar.

00:24:22.800 You had Bush winning the popular vote as a Republican in 2004.

00:24:26.520 That was the last time that happened until Trump, 2024.

00:24:30.400 And Republicans looked really, really popular.

00:24:32.600 And then within two years, we were getting completely blown out of the water, in part because of a pivot from the Democrats to the far left.

00:24:38.980 That's what Tim Walls is proposing here.

00:24:40.980 And that's going to be – that's the debate.

00:24:42.600 The debate is Tim Walls versus Gavin Newsom.

00:24:45.840 Two old white guys.

00:24:47.940 Not very diverse, equitable, and inclusive, but there you have it.

00:24:51.220 There's so much more to say.

00:25:58.300 You know, my favorite comment on Friday is from TeenyMcLean3930, who says,

00:26:03.580 Michael, are you going to react to the new Tom McDonald song that you are in?

00:26:07.520 Oh, I suppose I should, shouldn't I?

00:26:09.960 If you haven't caught the new Tom McDonald song, your boy does in fact make an appearance.

00:26:15.000 More importantly, my ukulele finally makes an appearance.

00:26:19.560 And in it, I do a strum that was popularized by George Formby, and it looks really, really silly.

00:26:24.040 So anyway, you can go check.

00:26:26.140 Maybe I should react to it.

00:26:27.180 I don't know.

00:26:27.720 I can at least critique the beautiful ukulele playing in it.

00:26:31.200 Now, turning from the Democrats to Trump, the latest freakout du jour, NBC News,

00:26:40.360 sounding the alarm, Trump won't rule out seeking a third term in the White House.

00:26:47.300 Tells NBC News, quote, there are methods for doing so.

00:26:51.600 I'll just read a little bit from the article.

00:26:54.400 Washington, President Trump did not rule out the possibility of seeking a third term in the White

00:26:58.300 House, which is prohibited by the Constitution under the 22nd Amendment, saying in an exclusive

00:27:03.720 interview with NBC News that there were methods for doing so and clarifying that he was not joking.

00:27:08.780 A lot of people want me to do it, Trump said in a Sunday morning phone call with NBC News

00:27:12.440 referring to his allies.

00:27:13.800 But I mean, I basically tell them we have a long way to go.

00:27:16.260 You know, it's very early in the administration.

00:27:18.280 I'm focused on the current, Trump said.

00:27:21.740 When asked whether he wanted another term, the president responded, I like working.

00:27:26.400 I'm not joking.

00:27:27.840 But I'm not.

00:27:29.140 It is far too early to think about it.

00:27:32.300 I love Trump so much.

00:27:33.500 I love that this big breaking news, this exclusive interview, is that Trump just picks up the

00:27:37.700 phone in the wee small hours.

00:27:39.020 And he's like, all right, I'm just going to call NBC, make them freak out this week.

00:27:41.860 I'm going to set the news cycle for the week right now.

00:27:44.160 Yeah, you know, third term, that'd be wacky, huh?

00:27:47.400 No, I'm not joking.

00:27:49.360 Why not?

00:27:49.820 I like working.

00:27:50.820 What is this about?

00:27:52.320 Is Trump going to abolish the 22nd Amendment?

00:27:57.200 Probably not.

00:27:58.160 Though it's worth pointing out that Ronald Reagan advocated for that.

00:28:01.000 There are many very serious principled conservatives who think that term limits are a bad idea for

00:28:06.500 the presidency.

00:28:07.480 But is that what Trump's going to do?

00:28:08.760 I would be surprised.

00:28:09.720 First, this is about Trump not being a lame duck.

00:28:13.660 This is about the central tactic of Trump in politics, which is unpredictability, which is

00:28:22.460 seeming like a madman, so that when you tell Vladimir Putin that if he invades Ukraine, you're

00:28:26.520 going to bomb the Kremlin, Putin thinks 95% chance you don't do it, but 5% chance maybe

00:28:31.740 you will do it, and you can't take that chance, which is why Putin doesn't invade further into

00:28:35.320 Ukraine when Trump is president.

00:28:37.100 That's what this is about.

00:28:37.980 This is about the Democrats right now are looking at Trump.

00:28:42.480 They're saying, this guy's a lame duck.

00:28:43.520 He's term limited out.

00:28:44.480 He can't possibly run again.

00:28:46.160 And then Trump calls in the wee small, it wakes up some reporters at NBC News, says, yeah, what if I ran

00:28:51.100 for a third term, huh?

00:28:53.120 You can't do that.

00:28:54.160 I don't know.

00:28:54.460 Maybe I can.

00:28:55.080 I don't know.

00:28:55.400 We'll see.

00:28:55.820 Anyway, bye.

00:28:57.520 That's what this is about.

00:29:00.040 And it works.

00:29:01.560 It kind of works.

00:29:02.160 Because 95% chance Trump would not challenge the 22nd Amendment, 95% chance Trump has served

00:29:11.360 long enough and would maybe like to have a little bit of a retirement at the end of his

00:29:15.020 life.

00:29:15.440 But like, I don't know, 5% chance, maybe.

00:29:19.300 And so the libs are on their toes and Trump remains an active president, even in a term that

00:29:25.800 from day one should have been a lame duck term.

00:29:28.480 It is just masterful political work.

00:29:30.780 Then, even better trolling from Trump, President Trump was asked in the Oval Office the question

00:29:37.540 that defines our decade, the question that most people should be sick of talking about

00:29:42.400 at this point, but it still gets under the skin of Democrats.

00:29:46.120 He was asked, what is a woman?

00:29:48.900 And he gave a better answer than I have heard from virtually any, even conservative.

00:29:56.680 Since Democrats seem to struggle answering this question, I wanted to ask you, what is a

00:30:00.760 woman, and why is it important that we understand the difference between men and women? 1.00

00:30:04.400 It's sort of easy to answer for me, because a woman is somebody that can have a baby under 1.00

00:30:09.680 certain circumstances.

00:30:11.640 She has a quality.

00:30:13.400 A woman is a person who is much smarter than a man I've always been.

00:30:20.160 It doesn't give a man even a chance of success. 0.95

00:30:23.500 And a woman is a person that in many cases has been treated very badly, because I think that

00:30:28.040 what happens with this crazy, this crazy issue of men being able to play in women's sports is just

00:30:35.580 ridiculous and very unfair to women and very demeaning to women. 1.00

00:30:39.680 And that's got to be about a 94 percent.

00:30:42.040 I read today it was a 94 percent issue.

00:30:44.280 And I watched the other day, I watched a congressman, a well-known Democrat congressman,

00:30:49.280 fighting for the fact that men should be allowed to compete, essentially, in women's sports.

00:30:56.180 This is a beautiful answer, and it's much better than the answer conservatives give.

00:31:01.860 Well, the liberals say a woman is whatever. 1.00

00:31:04.340 A woman is the sort of person who says that he or she is a woman.

00:31:07.600 If you call yourself a woman, you're a woman.

00:31:09.260 That's obviously ridiculous.

00:31:10.540 But then the conservative response is, no, no, no.

00:31:12.820 A woman is someone with two X chromosomes. 1.00

00:31:16.580 A woman is an adult female human being. 0.58

00:31:21.460 Boom.

00:31:21.860 But that's not even sufficient.

00:31:24.200 Trump's answer is much better than the usual conservative answer.

00:31:27.700 Because Trump's answer is, a woman, first thing out of his mouth,

00:31:30.960 a woman is a person who can bear a child under certain circumstances.

00:31:36.380 Even that under certain circumstances is so beautiful.

00:31:38.780 His answer is a natural law answer.

00:31:41.620 He's saying, not that a woman can be reduced to her biology,

00:31:45.980 but that a woman is at least her biology, 1.00

00:31:49.120 and also her telos, also her purpose.

00:31:53.820 Also, she's the kind of person who can have a child under certain circumstances.

00:31:59.500 So Trump is even acknowledging there are plenty of women who are infertile,

00:32:02.680 whether because of some makeup that has been,

00:32:07.000 some aspect of their physical makeup that has been part of them since birth,

00:32:09.940 or because of some accident down the road,

00:32:11.680 or because they get a little older, or whatever.

00:32:13.520 But he's saying, in principle, a woman is the sort of person who can bear a child.

00:32:21.800 And then what's the second answer?

00:32:23.180 He goes, a woman's the sort of person who's a lot smarter than men, that's for sure. 1.00

00:32:27.360 Now, that answer, this is going to confuse some people who don't understand

00:32:30.980 pizzazz, panache, riz.

00:32:36.880 Also, who don't understand the kind of little jokes that go on between the sexes.

00:32:41.180 Also, someone who doesn't understand chivalry.

00:32:43.440 Trump is not giving a feminist answer.

00:32:44.960 The feminist would say, women are much smarter than men. 1.00

00:32:47.540 Trump's saying, oh, women, oh, they're so much smarter than men. 1.00

00:32:50.500 That's a chivalrous answer.

00:32:53.320 It's not that women are actually smarter than men.

00:32:56.660 In fact, if you look at, I don't know, the one study,

00:32:59.060 I think it was Larry Summers had this study when he was at Harvard,

00:33:02.020 shows that women and men have basically the same median IQ,

00:33:05.820 but the smartest people on earth are men.

00:33:08.800 Also, the stupidest people on earth are men, 0.99

00:33:10.720 because the bell curve distribution for men is wider than the bell curve distribution for women.

00:33:15.040 But even beyond that, a woman, what Trump is demonstrating with that answer is,

00:33:20.520 a woman is the sort of person who is taken care of by men, 1.00

00:33:25.360 who is treated gently by men, chivalrously even.

00:33:29.860 And a woman is the sort of person who's been treated very unfairly 0.62

00:33:33.680 by liberalism, by leveling feminism,

00:33:37.280 by this ideology that says that by embracing transgenderism,

00:33:42.700 there is not even such a category as woman. 0.98

00:33:44.680 That is a robust answer.

00:33:48.000 And it is why.

00:33:49.000 It is why I've said this for years, and I'm totally right,

00:33:52.360 and my critics are totally wrong.

00:33:54.300 And Trump's critics are totally wrong.

00:33:56.020 When they say, Trump is stupid, Trump is unsophisticated,

00:33:59.200 Trump doesn't understand political philosophy, Trump doesn't.

00:34:01.480 I say, I don't know.

00:34:02.000 I don't know if he's ever read books on gender theory.

00:34:05.720 I don't know if he's ever read books on anthropology.

00:34:07.980 I don't know how deeply he's studied into human nature or the natural law.

00:34:11.180 But he just gave a better answer than basically any conservative has when asked that question.

00:34:17.300 Because to say that a woman is just two X chromosomes or an adult female human being

00:34:22.340 is to make one of the same errors that the liberals make,

00:34:26.700 which led them to force transgenderism in the first place, 1.00

00:34:29.320 which is to say, to reduce human nature to some partial aspect of what it is.

00:34:34.260 No, no.

00:34:36.380 A woman is at least her body, but she's also what she does. 1.00

00:34:39.400 She's also her T-laws. 0.99

00:34:40.740 She's also, she's everything from her chromosomes 0.99

00:34:45.140 to the kind of person who wears beautiful dresses and bakes pies.

00:34:49.620 You know, it's all of those things.

00:34:52.240 Guy gets it, man.

00:34:53.500 The guy's got a greater depth of conservatism

00:34:55.400 than many people who sit in dusty think tanks all day and read books.

00:34:58.200 There's so much more to say.

00:34:59.700 First, though, go to hometitlelock.com.

00:35:01.700 Use promo code Knowles250.

00:35:03.940 Did you know that scammers can steal your home right out from under you?

00:35:08.300 The FBI calls this house stealing.

00:35:10.160 It's a growing real estate scam targeting American homeowners.

00:35:13.380 Here's how it works.

00:35:14.340 Criminals forge your signature on one document, 1.00

00:35:17.000 use a fake notary stamp,

00:35:18.700 pay a small fee,

00:35:19.480 and file it with your local recorder's office.

00:35:21.880 Just like that, your home title has been transferred out of your name.

00:35:24.840 Then, they can take out loans using your equity as collateral

00:35:27.840 or even sell the property behind your back.

00:35:30.780 You won't even know that it's happening to you

00:35:32.700 until you start getting the collection or foreclosure notices.

00:35:36.540 So, let me ask you,

00:35:38.080 when was the last time you checked your home title?

00:35:41.340 If the answer was, like me,

00:35:44.300 when I first heard of home title lock,

00:35:46.240 if the answer is never,

00:35:47.780 then you need to go get a hold on this, okay?

00:35:50.720 That's what the scammers are counting on.

00:35:53.220 That is why I trust home title lock.

00:35:56.180 Someone very, very close to me, actually,

00:35:57.960 was scammed by a fraudster,

00:36:00.620 took this person's home equity.

00:36:03.380 It's a horrible, horrible thing.

00:36:04.920 I mean, Dante puts these kinds of fraudsters

00:36:06.360 in the lowest circle of hell, okay?

00:36:08.760 So, protect yourself from them.

00:36:10.280 Their million-dollar triple lock protection

00:36:12.060 keeps your home and equity safe.

00:36:15.720 What you get is immediate 24-7 monitoring of your property,

00:36:18.320 urgent alerts if there are any changes,

00:36:19.760 and a fraud should happen.

00:36:21.780 Their U.S.-based restoration team

00:36:23.120 will spend up to a million bucks to fix the fraud.

00:36:24.860 Right now, you can go to hometitlelock.com.

00:36:46.800 Code Knolls250.

00:36:48.520 Okay.

00:36:49.840 Little warning.

00:36:50.740 I'm not sure if you're totally aware of it.

00:36:53.100 Global trade as we know it might end in two days.

00:36:57.880 It's April 2nd.

00:36:59.040 Not April 1st.

00:37:00.220 I think Trump was thinking about doing it on April 1st.

00:37:01.800 He said,

00:37:02.040 but I don't want anyone to be confused

00:37:03.120 and think it's April Fool's Day

00:37:04.240 and not be unsure of what we're going to do here.

00:37:07.020 The fact is, though,

00:37:08.300 everyone is unsure of what Trump is going to do here

00:37:10.460 because Trump is promising to implement major tariffs,

00:37:16.940 major tariffs on our global trading partners.

00:37:20.880 And according to reporting, widespread reporting,

00:37:25.180 no one really knows what he's going to do.

00:37:27.800 In fact, this article from the Daily Mail,

00:37:29.800 those tasked with implementing his agenda

00:37:32.100 admit they're uncertain.

00:37:33.260 Behind closed doors,

00:37:34.100 top administration officials are deeply concerned

00:37:36.100 with many quietly admitting

00:37:37.340 they are unsure what the president is actually going to do.

00:37:39.880 No one knows what the F is going on.

00:37:41.460 One White House ally close to Trump's inner circle

00:37:44.380 told Politico,

00:37:46.120 the president has signaled

00:37:47.040 that more than $1 trillion in trade could be affected,

00:37:51.320 but with less than a week to go,

00:37:52.760 even though it's basic details,

00:37:53.880 including which countries will be hit,

00:37:55.800 at what rates,

00:37:57.240 and for which goods,

00:37:58.720 remain undecided or constantly shifting.

00:38:01.920 You know, I'm skeptical of media reports,

00:38:04.060 especially about the Trump administration.

00:38:05.360 This one, I totally believe.

00:38:08.720 I totally believe it

00:38:09.620 because I was at the White House

00:38:11.020 four days ago or something, five days ago,

00:38:14.380 and I spoke with the secretary of the treasury.

00:38:17.940 You can catch our interview

00:38:18.880 on the Michael Knowles YouTube channel

00:38:20.800 and elsewhere, Daily Wire Plus, X.

00:38:24.860 I asked the treasury secretary,

00:38:27.720 I said, what is the top priority for the tariffs?

00:38:32.320 Is it raising revenue?

00:38:33.800 Is it creating manufacturing jobs? 0.96

00:38:35.940 Or is it to be a negotiating tool

00:38:38.100 to lower trade barriers with our partners?

00:38:41.220 Any of which might be good,

00:38:42.500 but which are in conflict with each other,

00:38:44.180 so which is it?

00:38:45.000 And the treasury secretary gave me

00:38:46.200 a very intelligent, clever answer,

00:38:49.140 which didn't really answer the question.

00:38:51.040 He restated the question,

00:38:52.860 and then he said,

00:38:54.360 we'll find out on April 2nd.

00:38:56.060 You know, it's the president's decision to make.

00:38:57.520 We will find out on April 2nd.

00:38:58.780 So I totally believe it.

00:39:01.580 I pay very close attention

00:39:03.000 to the Trump administration.

00:39:04.120 I don't know.

00:39:04.560 I don't know what he's going to do

00:39:05.520 because I don't even really know

00:39:07.460 what his top priority for the tariffs are.

00:39:10.120 He's floated all of the different

00:39:11.940 desirable outcomes

00:39:14.860 that could come from tariffs,

00:39:15.840 but he hasn't honed in on one in particular.

00:39:19.800 So I totally believe this report.

00:39:21.740 Now, the Libs are reporting this,

00:39:23.240 and they're saying,

00:39:23.620 this is chaos.

00:39:24.220 This is terrible.

00:39:24.920 This is a horrible idea.

00:39:25.820 Yeah, see, this is why Trump shouldn't be president.

00:39:27.620 I'm just marveling at the guy's

00:39:30.380 consistency on his chief political strength,

00:39:35.040 which is unpredictability.

00:39:37.700 There are top administration officials today

00:39:40.960 who do not know what Trump is going to do

00:39:43.620 in two days

00:39:44.160 that could affect $1 trillion worth of trade.

00:39:49.020 You could look at that and say,

00:39:50.080 that's a sign of chaos.

00:39:50.840 That's crazy.

00:39:51.480 That's a terrible idea.

00:39:52.340 Or you could look at it

00:39:53.340 as Trump has bragged for years now.

00:39:55.820 As a sign of political strength,

00:39:57.860 this guy has everyone on their toes.

00:40:01.260 Now, if I had to guess,

00:40:02.820 if I were a gambling man,

00:40:05.180 and I were gambling not with a trillion dollars

00:40:06.780 worth of trade,

00:40:07.360 but with a little bit of my own money,

00:40:09.240 I think this is part of a negotiation

00:40:12.220 to reduce trade barriers overseas.

00:40:16.060 That would be my guess.

00:40:17.740 But I don't know for sure.

00:40:18.880 I guess we'll have to see.

00:40:19.600 Now, speaking of Trump and global trade,

00:40:21.880 President Trump did just address

00:40:23.320 the Hootie bombing boys chat.

00:40:24.920 But that's a little bit of a tease.

00:40:27.200 We might have to get to that later

00:40:28.180 because my friend Lila Rose is coming on.

00:40:30.600 First, though,

00:40:32.380 America's on the comeback.

00:40:33.760 The fight for truth is far from over,

00:40:35.260 while the left tries desperately

00:40:37.180 to keep its grip on media education

00:40:38.860 and the court's daily wire

00:40:39.920 is leading the charge for free speech,

00:41:09.840 As we see all these sorts of changes,

00:41:13.560 tectonic shifts in politics,

00:41:15.420 all the way down to affecting

00:41:16.920 a trillion dollars of global trade.

00:41:18.360 On the domestic front,

00:41:20.240 we've seen big changes to education.

00:41:22.160 You know, I just sat down with

00:41:23.120 Linda McMahon, the Secretary of Education.

00:41:25.420 You're seeing maybe the dismantling

00:41:27.540 of the Department of Education

00:41:28.740 below the federal level.

00:41:31.380 At the state level,

00:41:32.520 well, actually,

00:41:33.020 the dismantling of the Department of Education,

00:41:34.300 the whole purpose of that

00:41:35.060 is to shift education back to the states.

00:41:37.400 At the state level,

00:41:38.380 you are seeing lots of good,

00:41:41.120 positive action being taken.

00:41:42.640 It's not just getting rid of

00:41:44.440 bad Democrat regulations.

00:41:45.980 It's not just trying to dig through

00:41:48.420 all the bureaucracy

00:41:49.220 and the ugly curricula

00:41:50.600 that poison kids' minds.

00:41:52.000 But it's actually

00:41:52.660 now implementing

00:41:54.920 good things

00:41:56.280 that will actually edify

00:41:57.520 students.

00:41:59.360 Being led, in part,

00:42:00.700 by my friend Lila Rose.

00:42:01.660 You know Lila.

00:42:02.420 She is the head of live action,

00:42:04.060 one of the most prominent

00:42:05.080 pro-life voices in America,

00:42:06.900 and

00:42:07.640 is the driving force

00:42:09.300 behind the

00:42:09.820 Baby Olivia

00:42:11.240 prenatal education bill,

00:42:13.640 which puts pro-life content

00:42:16.140 into public schools.

00:42:18.160 It's already in my state of Tennessee,

00:42:19.900 it's already in North Dakota,

00:42:20.820 and it just passed

00:42:21.700 into its third state

00:42:22.760 of Idaho.

00:42:24.820 Lila,

00:42:25.140 thank you for coming on the show.

00:42:27.280 Thanks for having me, Michael.

00:42:28.480 Good to see you.

00:42:29.360 So, Lila,

00:42:30.160 it's always wonderful to see you.

00:42:32.820 The libs are going to say

00:42:34.200 that this is an outrageous incursion.

00:42:37.860 This probably violates

00:42:39.380 the separation of church and state,

00:42:40.860 because all you pro-lifers

00:42:42.320 are crazy religious people, 1.00

00:42:43.940 and

00:42:44.540 they're going to say

00:42:45.680 that this is putting

00:42:46.560 propaganda in schools

00:42:47.840 to push

00:42:48.960 a particular view

00:42:50.120 of sex

00:42:51.120 and sexual education, 1.00

00:42:52.660 and

00:42:53.740 it's unconstitutional.

00:42:55.620 What's your response?

00:42:57.340 I mean,

00:42:58.240 they have all said this,

00:42:59.500 and it's wild

00:43:00.460 because

00:43:00.860 Baby Olivia

00:43:01.880 is this

00:43:02.720 medically accurate,

00:43:03.960 so it's created

00:43:04.620 with scientists,

00:43:05.800 with OBGYNs,

00:43:06.940 with medical doctors.

00:43:08.220 It's this medically accurate,

00:43:09.640 lifelike,

00:43:10.180 so it's been animated

00:43:11.160 by world-class animators.

00:43:12.680 Depiction of life

00:43:13.860 from the beginning,

00:43:14.820 you know,

00:43:15.060 from fertilization,

00:43:16.000 that's when science says

00:43:16.900 a human,

00:43:17.640 new individual human

00:43:18.580 comes into existence

00:43:19.500 until birth.

00:43:20.600 So,

00:43:20.940 when you see,

00:43:21.780 we've seen the backlash

00:43:22.760 over the last year,

00:43:23.660 people so upset

00:43:25.000 on the left

00:43:25.980 that there's now going to be

00:43:27.200 science-based education

00:43:29.640 about human development

00:43:30.740 for young people,

00:43:32.040 which is what they deserve

00:43:32.840 in science class,

00:43:33.860 biology class,

00:43:34.520 sex ed class,

00:43:35.300 and they're upset about it.

00:43:36.780 It really makes you wonder

00:43:38.120 who's on the side

00:43:38.800 of science now.

00:43:40.280 Clearly not the far left

00:43:41.700 when it comes to anything

00:43:42.680 that shows the humanity

00:43:43.580 of the baby.

00:43:44.200 And it was so crazy,

00:43:45.020 Michael,

00:43:45.200 because there's this

00:43:45.760 one particular reporter,

00:43:47.060 and I think it was

00:43:47.580 in your great state

00:43:48.220 of Tennessee,

00:43:49.020 who was really mad

00:43:50.140 about baby Olivia

00:43:51.360 being put in the public schools

00:43:52.540 and education

00:43:53.460 of human development

00:43:54.680 being put in the public schools.

00:43:56.100 And they said,

00:43:56.880 this is humanizing

00:43:58.060 the baby.

00:43:59.420 This is to humanizing

00:44:01.000 of the fetus

00:44:02.480 or whatever.

00:44:03.280 And it's like,

00:44:03.720 well, yeah,

00:44:04.240 they're human.

00:44:05.240 I think this is how

00:44:06.980 we all started our life

00:44:08.160 as humans

00:44:08.940 in our mother's womb.

00:44:10.320 So we're excited.

00:44:11.520 It's a new dawn

00:44:12.560 for science-based education

00:44:15.220 for young people.

00:44:16.180 And I think there's

00:44:16.860 no better way

00:44:17.480 to show the beauty

00:44:18.600 of the baby in the womb

00:44:19.780 than actually getting

00:44:20.820 to look at

00:44:21.580 what this baby looks like

00:44:22.700 as they're developing.

00:44:23.680 There's something very funny,

00:44:24.720 obviously,

00:44:25.080 about the reporter saying,

00:44:26.220 hey,

00:44:26.460 the more you show us

00:44:28.160 what is happening

00:44:29.500 biologically in the womb,

00:44:31.440 the more the baby

00:44:32.760 appears to be humanized.

00:44:34.140 And you say,

00:44:34.540 well, hey, correct.

00:44:35.380 It's a human.

00:44:36.600 Yes, that's why.

00:44:38.040 But even beyond

00:44:39.120 the science angle,

00:44:40.580 which is always,

00:44:41.080 that's always the low ground

00:44:42.140 that the libs want to talk about,

00:44:43.540 though their scientific theories

00:44:44.920 are pretty crazy,

00:44:45.640 like the sun monster

00:44:46.420 destroying the world

00:44:47.260 and, you know,

00:44:48.320 boys becoming girls

00:44:49.320 or whatever.

00:44:50.000 They still,

00:44:50.660 they ground all of their arguments

00:44:51.980 in science.

00:44:52.660 And they say,

00:44:53.300 we need to get your morality

00:44:55.260 out of the classroom.

00:44:56.680 We need to get your religious 1.00

00:44:58.640 kind of propaganda

00:44:59.520 out of the classroom.

00:45:00.400 And I guess my answer

00:45:01.720 to that is,

00:45:02.920 why?

00:45:04.380 You know,

00:45:04.760 I took sex ed class

00:45:06.220 in my New York public school

00:45:07.860 and I was told

00:45:09.260 that we should use condoms.

00:45:11.860 I was told

00:45:12.680 that people should

00:45:14.080 embrace various

00:45:15.840 aberrant sexual behaviors.

00:45:18.440 That's a moral teaching.

00:45:20.260 It's an immoral teaching,

00:45:21.040 I guess,

00:45:21.340 but it's teaching

00:45:22.760 about morality,

00:45:24.020 about ethics.

00:45:25.100 It has a religious underpinning,

00:45:26.820 albeit one that is irreligious

00:45:28.160 or comes from a false religion.

00:45:29.580 So all of that stuff

00:45:31.160 is already in schools.

00:45:33.740 What's the problem

00:45:34.560 with coming in

00:45:35.240 and saying,

00:45:35.600 okay,

00:45:35.780 well,

00:45:35.940 if you're already

00:45:36.360 teaching morality,

00:45:37.200 you're already teaching ethics,

00:45:38.220 you already have

00:45:38.780 a religious foundation,

00:45:40.080 we're just going to teach

00:45:41.360 a more accurate one,

00:45:42.700 a truer one

00:45:43.800 that's more conducive

00:45:44.600 to human flourishing.

00:45:46.420 What are they going to say

00:45:47.240 to that?

00:45:48.560 Yeah,

00:45:48.960 I mean,

00:45:49.280 listen,

00:45:49.580 it's an incoherent ideology

00:45:51.420 that the culture of death,

00:45:53.040 the kind of pro-abortion,

00:45:54.940 pro-sexual experimentation,

00:45:57.280 sex doesn't belong in marriage. 0.98

00:45:59.300 As long as there's consent,

00:46:00.780 have as much sex

00:46:01.580 or whatever kind of sex you want.

00:46:03.340 That's not a really

00:46:04.880 very coherent worldview,

00:46:06.280 but it is a worldview

00:46:07.160 and it does have

00:46:08.040 its own moral code,

00:46:09.240 which violates the truth

00:46:11.620 about how human beings

00:46:12.980 should live together

00:46:13.720 in harmony together

00:46:14.820 in a society.

00:46:15.820 We know that

00:46:16.500 when it comes to sex,

00:46:17.980 the best order for sex

00:46:19.340 is in a loving marriage

00:46:20.940 where two people

00:46:21.600 are committed

00:46:22.020 to each other for life.

00:46:22.880 But this baby Olivia legislation,

00:46:24.900 they're not even doing that.

00:46:26.040 This isn't even,

00:46:26.580 you know,

00:46:27.020 promoting chastity overtly

00:46:28.680 or any kind of

00:46:29.260 specific moral code.

00:46:30.140 It's literally,

00:46:30.820 Michael,

00:46:31.020 all it is

00:46:31.720 is watching content

00:46:33.660 that shows

00:46:34.560 medically accurate

00:46:35.400 depictions of human life

00:46:36.640 and learning about

00:46:37.700 the markers

00:46:38.280 of human development.

00:46:39.360 That is all that

00:46:40.200 this legislation

00:46:40.900 and other bills

00:46:41.860 like it do.

00:46:42.980 It doesn't even go

00:46:43.980 that extra step

00:46:44.720 of inferring now,

00:46:45.960 oh,

00:46:46.160 it's a human life

00:46:46.940 so it has human rights.

00:46:48.040 We shouldn't kill babies.

00:46:49.020 Like,

00:46:49.160 that's not even part

00:46:49.880 of the overt education.

00:46:51.160 It's just,

00:46:51.460 this is a human life.

00:46:52.360 And that is what is

00:46:54.120 causing so much outrage

00:46:55.780 by some folks on the left.

00:46:57.540 Although I will say

00:46:58.500 I am encouraged

00:46:59.400 this bill

00:46:59.800 that just passed in Idaho

00:47:00.840 that is based on baby Olivia. 0.91

00:47:02.960 There was,

00:47:04.220 there were Democrats

00:47:04.780 that voted for it.

00:47:05.960 So there are some

00:47:06.880 sane people left,

00:47:08.060 you know,

00:47:08.440 on both sides

00:47:09.680 of the aisle here.

00:47:10.440 But yeah,

00:47:11.060 I mean,

00:47:11.300 the reality is

00:47:12.260 the moral order

00:47:13.120 which shows that,

00:47:14.600 you know,

00:47:15.220 human beings are different

00:47:16.340 than the rest

00:47:16.820 of the animal kingdom.

00:47:18.240 Sex has a particular purpose. 0.87

00:47:19.480 That's procreation and unity.

00:47:21.400 It brings two people

00:47:22.100 together.

00:47:22.520 All of this is,

00:47:23.320 it's true.

00:47:24.660 And yeah,

00:47:25.000 I agree.

00:47:25.380 That should absolutely

00:47:26.360 be taught in,

00:47:27.380 in the public school system.

00:47:28.620 I mean,

00:47:28.800 it's,

00:47:29.020 it's the truth.

00:47:29.960 You know,

00:47:30.500 what's so fascinating

00:47:31.780 to me about the

00:47:33.200 left-wing pushback

00:47:34.620 on this legislation,

00:47:35.460 which as you say,

00:47:36.760 is so modest.

00:47:38.060 I mean,

00:47:38.340 it's such,

00:47:39.280 it's just saying,

00:47:39.780 hey,

00:47:40.660 while you're talking

00:47:41.760 about pregnancy,

00:47:42.520 we're going to show you

00:47:43.480 what it really looks like.

00:47:44.820 That's all it says.

00:47:45.660 That's all.

00:47:45.860 But the left-wing pushback,

00:47:48.080 it seems to me,

00:47:50.100 belies a lack of confidence

00:47:53.880 in a central dogma

00:47:55.760 of modernity and liberalism,

00:47:57.520 which is the distinction

00:47:58.520 between is and ought.

00:48:00.520 You know,

00:48:00.720 the notion that

00:48:02.020 we cannot possibly

00:48:03.680 observe things

00:48:04.860 in the world

00:48:05.460 and then come to

00:48:06.460 moral conclusions about them

00:48:08.000 for how we ought to behave.

00:48:10.380 You know,

00:48:10.720 there are two human beings.

00:48:11.960 They ought to live in society.

00:48:13.740 They ought to get married.

00:48:14.740 They ought to have children.

00:48:15.740 That's just something

00:48:16.560 that comes from

00:48:17.160 their human nature.

00:48:18.060 Modernity says,

00:48:18.760 nah, nah,

00:48:19.280 we're all just kind of

00:48:20.080 big bags of stuff

00:48:21.020 and you can't ever

00:48:21.740 come to any conclusions.

00:48:22.760 Just do whatever you want, man.

00:48:24.120 You know,

00:48:24.280 if it feels good,

00:48:24.960 do it and don't yuck my yum.

00:48:26.380 And that's been

00:48:26.960 a central dogma

00:48:28.060 of liberalism.

00:48:28.780 But of course,

00:48:29.700 they don't really believe it

00:48:31.240 because they have

00:48:31.680 all sorts of

00:48:32.380 moral prescriptions.

00:48:33.880 And I think the way

00:48:35.220 that they come to

00:48:35.820 their false moral prescriptions

00:48:36.960 is by lying about

00:48:39.160 how things really are.

00:48:40.760 So the moral prescriptions

00:48:41.800 that if a woman 1.00

00:48:42.840 becomes pregnant 0.95

00:48:43.620 but she, you know,

00:48:44.660 doesn't want to take care

00:48:45.420 of her baby,

00:48:45.820 she should just murder her baby. 0.98

00:48:47.140 The way that they

00:48:48.120 persuade people of that,

00:48:49.820 which is so wrong

00:48:50.980 and immoral,

00:48:51.800 is by lying and saying,

00:48:52.920 oh, it's not really a baby.

00:48:54.100 It's a clump of cells.

00:48:55.240 It's sort of like a parasite.

00:48:56.680 It's no big deal.

00:48:57.440 You're not really

00:48:57.820 killing anything.

00:48:58.520 So it's all lies

00:48:59.520 about what is

00:49:00.280 in order to come

00:49:00.820 to a wrong,

00:49:01.860 ought conclusion.

00:49:04.200 If you're so afraid

00:49:06.360 that seeing the true nature

00:49:09.560 of things is going to

00:49:10.860 dissuade people 0.70

00:49:12.360 from following

00:49:12.900 your prescriptions,

00:49:14.280 maybe that means

00:49:15.380 your prescriptions are wrong.

00:49:17.660 Well, it's like no kid

00:49:19.100 is born supporting abortion, 0.86

00:49:20.800 right?

00:49:21.280 Every,

00:49:21.700 if you ask any child

00:49:22.880 about a pregnancy,

00:49:23.980 like they have a little sibling

00:49:25.100 coming to the world

00:49:25.920 and, you know,

00:49:26.340 I have three kids,

00:49:27.080 I know you have three,

00:49:28.040 and they're so excited,

00:49:29.500 the older children,

00:49:30.760 that mama is pregnant 1.00

00:49:31.880 and there's going to be a baby.

00:49:32.840 I mean, any child,

00:49:33.960 you ask them about

00:49:34.780 the idea of pregnancy

00:49:36.420 or you tell them

00:49:37.420 about the idea of pregnancy,

00:49:38.920 they are so,

00:49:39.480 it's like Christmas morning

00:49:40.620 for them.

00:49:41.460 So this idea that

00:49:42.620 as a child gets older,

00:49:44.400 they need to become

00:49:45.520 more pro-abortion 0.90

00:49:46.500 because the left is like,

00:49:47.740 well, we got to do something

00:49:48.700 with these kids

00:49:49.360 that are also naturally pro-life

00:49:51.500 and excited about life.

00:49:52.880 We have to sort of

00:49:53.800 derange their thinking.

00:49:55.260 In order to do that,

00:49:56.480 they need to put these

00:49:58.340 overt political ideologies

00:49:59.580 in the classroom,

00:50:00.860 and that's what effectively

00:50:01.820 has been happening.

00:50:02.920 I mean, that is the current

00:50:04.180 state of sexual education.

00:50:05.540 Planned Parenthood rules.

00:50:06.900 The biggest pro-abortion group 0.96

00:50:08.520 in the country right now,

00:50:10.460 they rule sex education

00:50:12.320 in the classroom.

00:50:13.280 So keep that context in mind here

00:50:14.940 when we have baby Olivia

00:50:15.860 legislation going through.

00:50:17.240 Planned Parenthood

00:50:17.620 is in most classrooms today

00:50:18.740 that are public schools,

00:50:20.440 and they're pushing

00:50:21.440 this post-modern,

00:50:23.460 woke ideology

00:50:24.220 around sex and life

00:50:25.480 that is brainwashing 0.97

00:50:26.580 a generation of students.

00:50:27.560 So this is one effort

00:50:29.040 to push back against

00:50:30.040 that craziness.

00:50:31.080 Well, I think it's beautiful.

00:50:32.700 I think the success here

00:50:33.860 is beautiful.

00:50:34.320 The baby Olivia project itself

00:50:36.420 is really quite beautiful

00:50:37.440 to show people

00:50:38.020 what's going on in the womb,

00:50:39.380 a campaign of live action

00:50:41.760 that I strongly encourage you all

00:50:42.900 to go and check out.

00:50:44.120 But three states,

00:50:45.540 I say,

00:50:46.640 that's a very good start,

00:50:47.620 and I look forward

00:50:48.220 to the other 47 following soon.

00:50:49.920 Who knows?

00:50:50.360 If we get Canada and Greenland,

00:50:51.700 then another 49.

00:50:52.460 There's 19 states

00:50:56.080 considering this year,

00:50:57.100 so hopefully we'll end

00:50:58.400 strong this year.

00:50:59.340 We'll see where it all lands,

00:51:00.380 but there's some Democrats

00:51:02.080 we've got to persuade,

00:51:02.980 but thankfully there have been

00:51:03.760 a few that are persuadable,

00:51:04.940 so we'll see where it lands.

00:51:06.040 I love it.

00:51:07.000 Lila Rose,

00:51:07.700 go check out all of

00:51:08.500 Lila Rose's shows and speeches

00:51:09.900 and go to live action

00:51:11.100 and give your money

00:51:11.840 to live action

00:51:12.460 and support all of this

00:51:13.600 so that we get it in all,

00:51:15.540 by the time Trump is done,

00:51:16.940 I don't know,

00:51:17.220 59, 65 states.

00:51:19.080 Let's do it.

00:51:19.200 We'll see what we got.

00:51:20.040 Thank you, Lila.

00:51:21.100 Thank you to all of you.

00:51:22.400 Thank you, Michael.

00:51:22.540 It's wonderful to be

00:51:24.080 Now, we will be going

00:51:24.920 to the Membrum Segmentum

00:51:26.020 because I've been traveling

00:51:27.560 and it's been a huge hassle

00:51:28.820 and I've had to miss

00:51:30.100 one or two Membrum Segmenta.

00:51:32.960 However,
