Former President Joe Biden has cancer, which should not come as a surprise to anyone because
00:00:04.880
he told us all in 2022. But that was before his staff and his doctor and the media apparently
00:00:12.260
lied to cover it up. Then a pro-lifeline Georgia is supposedly forcing a brain-dead woman to be
00:00:18.040
kept alive to support her pre-born baby. Is that true? What does that all mean? And speaking of
00:00:24.020
babies in bioethics, an IVF clinic was just firebombed by a radical leftist. I'm Michael

Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show. Welcome back to the show. President Trump has officially
00:00:53.840
declared Taylor Swift is no longer hot and Bruce Springsteen is a dried up prune. This is now
00:01:01.160
official national policy. This is a declaration from the White House. So be it, Nihil Obstad.

Joe Biden has cancer. Biden's press team has released this statement, quote,
00:01:52.320
last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing
00:01:59.740
increasing urinary symptoms. On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer characterized by
00:02:05.980
a Gleason score of nine, grade group five with metastasis to the bone. So the cancer is metastasized.
00:02:15.240
This is apparently a stage four cancer. Really, really bad stuff. So, you know, we all pray for
00:02:22.280
people when they're sick and suffering. So it's good to pray for Joe Biden. It's also good to have
00:02:29.360
a critical eye to see that we have been lied to politically. Why is this information coming out
00:02:36.760
now? Is it just a coincidence that as Jake Tapper's book is coming out, completing the Democrat throw of
00:02:43.680
Joe Biden under the bus? Jake Tapper's book that says that the media lied about Biden's health decline
00:02:50.060
and the White House staff lied about Biden's health decline and everybody lied about it to try to keep
00:02:54.300
him on the ticket. And now they've all realized mea culpa, mea culpa. Now you have this story about
00:02:59.520
Joe Biden's different health decline, not a cognitive health decline, but a cancer.
00:03:04.480
You don't really just discover stage four prostate cancer. A lot of guys have prostate cancer. It's a
00:03:18.080
relatively common cancer, but you don't just discover it generally, especially if you are the
00:03:25.720
president of the United States. You have access to the best doctors in the world. You are constantly
00:03:30.380
under medical scrutiny. You don't, that doesn't just happen. So when did they discover it? I have
00:03:37.780
here a news article about how Joe Biden was totally, quote, fit for duty last year after his annual
00:03:46.940
physical. Joe Biden's doctor, it was a Kevin O'Connor, said that Biden has peripheral neuropathy in his
00:03:56.260
both feet, gastroesophageal reflux. You know, he's got heartburn, allergies, and a little spinal
00:04:01.880
arthritis. They're all being treated. But otherwise, the president feels well. And this year's physical
00:04:07.560
identified no new concerns. He continues to be fit for duty. That was last year. This year, he's got
00:04:12.220
stage four prostate cancer that's metastasized to the bone. Were there any signs? There were signs.
00:04:18.660
Two years before Joe Biden's doctor said that he's totally fine and fit for duty, no worries, no cancer,
00:04:27.520
no nothing. Joe Biden told us that he had cancer. And because it was a four-lane highway that was
00:04:35.140
accessible, my mother drove us, and rather than us be able to walk. And guess what? The first frost, you
00:04:43.840
know what was happening. You had to put on your windshield wipers to get literally the oil slick
00:04:48.820
off the window. That's why I and so damn many other people I grew up have cancer. And why can't
00:04:54.780
for the longest time, Delaware had the highest cancer rate in the nation. So at the time, some of us heard
00:05:01.520
this and said, wait, Joe Biden has cancer? He just said he has cancer. And of course, the liberal media
00:05:07.400
went into overdrive. They said, no, no, no, no. I know he just told you he has cancer, but he doesn't
00:05:11.660
really have cancer. You didn't hear that. He didn't really say that. Pay no attention. These
00:05:16.580
are not the droids you're looking for. So Associated Press right here. No, I'm sorry. Is this Reuters or
00:05:21.660
the Associated Press? No, this is the Associated Press. Fact focus. Biden cancer remark causes
00:05:28.500
confusion. I'll just read you a little bit of it. Here are the facts. Claim Biden announced that he has
00:05:33.880
cancer. Right-wing accounts quickly began sharing a clip of this remark with the claim that Biden
00:05:39.000
was revealing that he had cancer. Where'd you get that crazy idea? Just because he said he had
00:05:42.600
cancer? But Andrew Bates, a White House spokesperson, confirmed on Twitter that Biden was referring to
00:05:49.640
the publicly disclosed fact that he had skin cancer removed before he became president.
00:05:57.800
Well, hold on. He said, that's why I have cancer. If you're saying he had cancer in the past,
00:06:04.580
but the cancer was removed, why would he say I have cancer? No, no, no. Listen here.
00:06:13.060
Listen here. You don't understand. Biden doesn't know what he's talking about. You didn't hear what
00:06:16.580
you thought you heard. The AP concludes, in a November 2021 memo summarizing Biden's health,
00:06:20.900
Dr. Kevin O'Connor, Biden's physician for more than a decade, acknowledged that Biden had several
00:06:25.320
localized non-melanoma skin cancers removed with Mohs surgery before he started his presidency.
00:06:30.660
Yeah. Or he just had cancer, like he told us, and like the right-wing kind of crazy conspiracy
00:06:37.420
accounts heard and reported, and now Biden's family is admitting. What's more likely? It's
00:06:44.800
always good to pray for Biden. That said, the guy's 82 years old. The male life expectancy in the United
00:06:50.120
States is 75. So he's kind of playing with the house's money at this point. Everyone's going to die
00:06:54.740
at some point. The political takeaway here, it would appear overwhelmingly likely that his doctors lied
00:07:03.900
and that his press team lied. I guess that his family lied and they all just lied. And then the
00:07:11.080
media, the Associated Press, which were they actual reporters and investigative journalists,
00:07:17.340
would hear the president admitting he has cancer and like look into that. But instead,
00:07:21.920
what does the Associated Press do? They just repeat the propagandist for the White House's
00:07:26.860
blanket denial, like Pravda, and they don't look into it any further. No, no, no. I know Joe Biden
00:07:33.340
just said he had cancer, but don't worry. His cleanup artist, propagandist, just said that isn't true.
00:07:38.440
So anyway, we're the Associated Press and democracy dies in darkness and we're the fourth estate and we're
00:07:43.660
the intrepid journalists. So we'll just print that. What a joke. What a joke. The big takeaway from all of
00:07:51.040
this. In some ways, perhaps this release is trying to do damage control over Jake Tapper's book,
00:07:58.060
which Jake Tapper's book, admitting that Biden was in decline, was trying to do damage control over
00:08:02.920
the media's complete failure to their own audience, mostly liberal audience, to report on Joe Biden's
00:08:08.600
failing health. It's damage control all the way down. And the irony of it is, the thing that they
00:08:18.040
were after, holding on to power, most likely could have best been accomplished by just keeping Joe
00:08:24.440
Biden on the ticket. Had Joe Biden remained on the ticket, if he has metastatic cancer that is,
00:08:30.080
you know, he's an elderly man, he's well past the life expectancy, Kamala Harris could have probably
00:08:35.660
been president. It's very, very possible, even likely, that Kamala Harris could have ended up
00:08:42.020
president had the Democrats not thrown Joe Biden under the bus. And they continue to throw Joe Biden
00:08:47.260
under the bus again and again and again. And this doesn't even look that bad for Joe Biden. Joe
00:08:52.260
Biden was at least honest with us, it appears. And he said, yeah, I got cancer. It's just that the
00:08:56.860
experts, the media, the established powers, they lied. I have an episode of Michael And right now
00:09:03.800
with one of the chief vaccine dissidents, the guy behind the 1998 Lancet study that caused a lot of
00:09:09.800
questioning about the MMR vaccine. I told him in the interview, I said, I'm not an anti-vaxxer.
00:09:15.360
I'm not anti-institutional. I'm not anti-expertise. I'm really not. But today, I have to be skeptical
00:09:25.660
of the expertise. I have to be skeptical of the public health authorities because they lied to me.
00:09:32.260
Because I know at least during COVID, they lied. They said one thing privately and they said another
00:09:37.260
thing publicly. And then the things they said publicly, they contradicted six months later. And
00:09:41.640
then they told us they didn't contradict themselves six months later. So me, not an anti-institutional
00:09:47.580
guy, not an anti-vaxxer, not anti-expertise. The only rational reaction that I can have to
00:09:55.920
their squandering their credibility is doubt and skepticism. This denial of Biden's health,
00:10:04.900
which now is undeniable, didn't just come from the media. It didn't, it came from the White House
00:10:11.860
physician. And these people ask us why we don't trust them. We got to talk about these things.
00:10:17.600
We also have to talk about the brain dead woman who is supposedly being forced to be kept alive to
00:10:21.300
save her baby. The pro-abortion people are up in arms. They said, this is an abuse. Stop what you're
00:10:26.760
doing. Hold there. We'll get back to my very important story. First though, I want you to go to

00:11:35.440
of Adriana Smith. Adriana Smith is a 30-year-old woman who is being described as brain dead. But April
00:11:46.440
Newkirk, who would like to pull the plug, is not allowed to pull the plug in the state of Georgia.
00:11:52.140
Supposedly because of a pro-life law. Because Adriana Smith is pregnant with a 21-week-old
00:11:59.040
baby. And the baby's grandma wants to be able to pull the plug on the daughter and kill the baby.
00:12:06.960
But the doctors, supposedly following the pro-life law, say that the grandma's not allowed to kill
00:12:13.200
the daughter and the baby. Even though the daughter is supposedly already dead. Even though she's not
00:12:17.220
really dead. Because if she were really dead, the baby would be dead too. Are you confused?
00:12:21.960
Scientifically, ethically, a lot of people are. Newkirk, the grandmother, says that she's not
00:12:28.060
allowed to take the daughter off the ventilators in order to protect her grandson. And she says it
00:12:32.980
should have been left up to the family, according to NBC. I'm not saying that we would have chose to
00:12:37.680
terminate her pregnancy. That is, kill the baby. But what I'm saying is we should have had a choice.
00:12:42.640
I'm not saying I would have killed my grandson. I'm saying I should have had the choice to kill
00:12:47.680
my grandson. I don't want to sound callous. This woman presumably is grieving the very likely death
00:12:54.520
of her daughter. So, but the reaction to any tragedy should never be the desire to kill an
00:13:03.760
innocent baby. Should have been left up to the family. I'm not saying I would have killed my
00:13:08.300
grandson, but I'd like to have been able to do it. Now, even the media are reporting, it is not
00:13:13.960
really clear that the reason this woman can't kill her daughter and her grandkid is because of a
00:13:19.560
pro-life law. That's not really clear. These are very nuanced discussions when we're talking about
00:13:27.060
brain death. And this is the deeper issue here, because the part that most people are just
00:13:31.780
accepting unquestioningly is the notion of brain death. The woman is dead. She's just sort of still
00:13:37.860
alive, but she's dead because she's brain dead, even though her heart's still pumping blood and her
00:13:43.840
lungs are still taking in oxygen and she has machines that are helping her do that. But
00:13:47.540
she's obviously alive because the baby's still alive, but she's dead. She's alive and dead.
00:13:53.280
She's Schrodinger as patient. The deeper issue here is that brain death is kind of fake.
00:14:00.120
What is death? What is death? Death, in the traditional understanding, is the moment
00:14:06.080
that the soul and the body separate. Because in the traditional understanding, human beings are both
00:14:13.880
soul and body. Now, in modernity, we like to deny the soul. What's weird is we also sometimes like to
00:14:22.160
deny the body. Sometimes we like to say we're only a body and we're not a soul. That's materialism.
00:14:28.440
And sometimes we like to say we're only a soul and not a body. So we say that's what the transgender
00:14:32.620
ideology is largely about. They say, I know my body might be entirely one way, but my true self,
00:14:38.840
that is to say my immaterial self, that is to say my soul, is a different way. And I'm really my soul.
00:14:43.240
I have nothing to do with my body. So we go back and forth. We're a little bit schizophrenic in
00:14:46.620
modernity. But death, understood traditionally, is the moment the soul and the body separate.
00:14:53.720
Death is not the moment of the obliteration of the body because there's still a body after death.
00:14:59.680
It's a cadaver. But it's understood that at death, something changes and you are no longer
00:15:05.440
quite the same you after death. I don't mean to be pedantic or tedious here, but it's a little
00:15:12.700
confusing. And clearly today, we don't exactly know what death is because we have this nebulous,
00:15:18.140
dubious concept of brain death. So in the 1960s, this notion of brain death is developed
00:15:24.340
primarily at Harvard. And because we traditionally understood the soul as leaving the body
00:15:31.300
at the moment that your heart stops beating and your lungs stop breathing, and that's the end of
00:15:36.100
it. But as technology advanced and you could keep people's blood pumping for a little while longer
00:15:41.180
and air going through their lungs, then they said, okay, well, when all brain activity ceases,
00:15:47.140
then you're dead, even if you kind of seem like you're alive. But that's a little bit unclear
00:15:52.540
because your hormones might react in a different way. You might have other bodily functions that are
00:16:01.120
not just your heart beating and your lungs pumping air after supposed brain death. And this is a really
00:16:07.120
important ethical question because people check that little box on the back of their driver's licenses
00:16:11.060
that say, I'm an organ donor. But when you're an organ donor, you are generally still kind of alive
00:16:20.440
when you're donating the organs. In fact, it is the removal of the organs that kills you.
00:16:26.860
If you're there and you've had a car accident or something, God forbid, and you're on a machine
00:16:32.000
and your heart's still pumping and your lungs still have air coming in and out of them, but you're
00:16:36.740
supposedly brain dead, then the thing that actually kills you is when they go in and take your organs.
00:16:43.220
Is that ethically acceptable? All sorts of groups have weighed in on this.
00:16:49.360
The institution that I look to for these kinds of matters, the Catholic Church, has weighed in and
00:16:54.680
said that the notion of brain death can be acceptable when it is known with certainty that
00:17:00.640
the person is dead. But it's all kind of dubious. If you go back to the original question, okay,
00:17:06.040
what is death? It's when the soul and the body separate. Well, can we be so certain that the people
00:17:13.120
who are supposedly brain dead are really dead? Seems to me the expansion of the notion of brain
00:17:19.560
death is another utilitarian perversion of the law. A utilitarian perversion to say, look,
00:17:25.780
it would be really helpful if we can harvest organs that are healthy. But the moment a person actually
00:17:32.100
dies, their organs start to decay and the organs aren't really useful anymore. So what if we can
00:17:38.040
redefine death? I mean, we can redefine marriage, we can redefine man and woman. What if we can
00:17:43.100
redefine death? And if we redefine death and move it just a little bit into the alive territory,
00:17:49.820
then we can get these organs. And it will be a good thing because it will help people who need a
00:17:53.180
kidney or who need a lung or who need a liver or something like that. So that'd be really helpful.
00:17:57.160
And all we got to do is maybe technically kill a lot of people. That creeping utilitarianism,
00:18:06.120
that bioethical, dubious kind of Faustian bargain, that explains, I think, a lot of our,
00:18:14.640
not only our scientific confusion, but our moral confusion. So much so to the point that in this
00:18:20.660
case, a grandmother can be complaining to the press because she's not allowed to kill her grandson.
00:18:27.160
Because her daughter, who's supposedly dead, isn't really dead.
00:18:32.180
As technology advances, you have to ask yourself, are we going to be able to use this in a better
00:18:38.020
way for human flourishing? Or with the amount of moral corruption that's already set in and moral
00:18:42.940
confusion, are we going to have many more of these questions? Speaking of babies and medical
00:18:49.400
technology, there's been a car bombing at an IVF facility. This is a California fertility clinic.
00:18:57.160
Someone drove up and blew up a car. Only one person died, the guy who blew up the car.
00:19:03.480
Four people were injured inside. But when I heard this story, I said, oh no, was this a radical kind
00:19:09.360
of pro-lifer? Because pro-life people, myself included, have a lot of problems with IVF and the
00:19:16.320
fertility clinics. Because virtually everything that they engage in is morally suspect, if not
00:19:23.600
outright clearly immoral. And there's a good end, which is babies, but all the steps along the way are
00:19:29.440
really bad. Like turning human beings into commodities and promoting actions that are
00:19:35.120
gravely disordered and humiliating and people shouldn't do. And purchasing eggs and renting
00:19:41.900
wombs and creating children intentionally to deprive them of their natural mothers to fulfill the
00:19:46.320
fantasies of single people and homosexuals. And it's just not sometimes implanting the wrong embryos
00:19:54.220
and then having people sue over which baby to have. Ripping babies away from their surrogate mothers,
00:19:59.600
the only mothers they've ever known. Sometimes just creating people with the wrong egg and the
00:20:04.020
wrong sperm. And now you've intentionally created a person, or rather, you've intentionally created a
00:20:09.080
person accidentally made of component parts from people who have never met each other. So you're
00:20:14.340
setting them up for a life of suffering. Yikes. All sorts of problems. Was it a pro-lifer? No.
00:20:21.740
It was actually a leftist. It was an anti-lifer. It was an anti-natalist. That is to say someone who holds
00:20:28.220
the radical ideology that we shouldn't have more kids. Usually the anti-natalists are motivated by
00:20:36.060
some kind of left-wing eschatology like climate change. You know, in order to save the rocks and
00:20:41.300
the delta smelt, we have to get rid of all the people. Sometimes anti-natalism is just driven by
00:20:47.200
selfishness, by kind of radical individualism, autonomy. But in any case, if pro-life is an idea
00:20:52.740
and a campaign on the right, the thing that blew up this IVF clinic comes from the left.
00:20:58.900
And now people are reacting to the story and they're saying, well, thank goodness
00:21:02.660
no one in the clinic was killed. I mean, it's a fertility clinic. Imagine all those babies,
00:21:08.160
all these people, they've invested their time, their hopes, their money into creating their babies.
00:21:12.860
And this monster might have blown up those babies, might have killed those babies
00:21:16.980
a little bit before the clinic and the parents will kill them themselves.
00:21:22.860
Because do you know what happens at a fertility clinic?
00:21:24.780
The vast majority of the babies who are created are killed because they're not used, because in the
00:21:34.920
fertility industry process, many, many more babies are created than will actually be implanted and
00:21:40.840
will actually be born. And then the rest of the babies, I just say the vast majority of the babies
00:21:44.780
are put into a freezer until the parents or the clinic want to just destroy them and then they
00:21:52.820
kill them. So what is my, what is the reaction? The reaction doesn't make any sense. Thank goodness
00:21:57.980
he didn't kill all of those embryos before the clinic workers could do it themselves. Thank goodness
00:22:05.020
those embryos might not have lived for another two days. Very strange. Also curious that the, on the IVF
00:22:13.540
issue, you are now seeing criticism from the left and the right and the left wing criticism is wrong
00:22:20.360
and the right wing criticism is right. But it is interesting that, that an issue that even I think
00:22:26.600
about a year ago, most everyone, maybe two years ago, most everyone would have said, oh, this is
00:22:32.240
unambiguously a good thing. What's wrong with more babies? Of course, there are all sorts of immoral
00:22:36.880
ways to create a baby, including rape, for instance. It doesn't, doesn't mean the baby is bad, but it means
00:22:41.300
that, that good ends do not justify immoral means. But now you're seeing all sorts, as people begin to
00:22:48.240
understand what IVF is, you are seeing a real movement against it. And you're seeing a right
00:22:56.340
wing movement against it, which is justified and peaceful and civil. And, but you're even seeing a
00:23:01.060
left wing movement against it from the people who hate, from the people who hate people are willing
00:23:04.780
to blow up cars to stop them. More pearls of wisdom are incoming. First though, go to jeremysrazors.com

00:23:53.320
episode of Michael and the vaccine dissident, which might be being suppressed by certain social
00:23:58.020
media algorithms. It would seem, I don't know. I'm just looking, looking at the analytics and it
00:24:03.300
seems as though certain powers that be don't want this one to get out. This is to my mind, one of the
00:24:08.640
most important episodes I've done of Michael and definitely in the top, top five. I sat down with
00:24:15.380
Dr. Andrew Wakefield for Michael and the vaccine dissident. We dive deep into the science, the
00:24:20.340
scandals and the questions the CDC doesn't want you asking, covering everything from vaccine risks
00:24:25.660
to public health cover-ups. Check out this teaser.
00:24:27.700
I started getting calls from parents saying, my child was perfectly normal. They stopped sleeping
00:24:40.640
at night. They were screaming. They were in pain. The lights went out in their eyes. It was a very
00:24:45.600
common description. Doctors say, this is just part of autism. Get over it. Put your child in a home.
00:24:54.180
What were they thinking? This is their quote. We are not going to be left with an orphan drug.
00:25:00.340
And so it was decided to avoid that. They would put it into one day old influence.

Speaking of young people, Taylor Swift is no longer hot, so declareth President Trump.
00:25:26.900
Quote, this is from Truth Social. Has anyone noticed that since I said I hate Taylor Swift,
00:25:32.620
she's no longer hot, question mark? Now, I guess here he means hot as in she's no longer popular.
00:25:40.480
But it's ambiguous and he might be insinuating that she's ugly now.
00:25:46.280
Trump has engaged in these kinds of fights before, most notably with Rosie O'Donnell.
00:25:51.280
I don't remember Trump saying he hates Taylor Swift, but he put it in quotes in all caps.
00:25:55.300
And then he also put hot in quotes in all caps.
00:26:03.020
And there are going to be squishy Republicans. I hear them now.
00:26:07.520
There are going to be boring people in the policy wonk beltway community on both sides of the aisle
00:26:13.340
who say, oh, this again. Trump was doing so well. Or the ones on the left will say,
00:26:21.620
Trump wasn't doing well, but this is even worse. So, oh, this again. But even the people on the right
00:26:26.640
who think that Trump's policy is generally good, they'll say, oh, he was doing so well.
00:26:30.520
Why does he have to engage in these kinds of tweets again? Why does he have to engage in fights
00:26:35.860
with pop stars? Oh, he did it with Bruce Springsteen, too. Bruce Springsteen just came out
00:26:47.240
In my country, they're taking sadistic pleasure in the pain that they inflict on loyal American workers.
00:26:56.780
They're rolling back historic civil rights legislation that led to a more just and plural society.
00:27:08.960
and siding with dictators against those struggling for their freedom.
00:27:18.160
This guy, he's abandoning our greatest ally, Ukraine, man.
00:27:25.500
He, this guy, this Trump, he's turning away from democracy for dictators.
00:27:35.040
So Trump responds. He goes, I see that highly overrated Bruce Springsteen goes to a foreign
00:27:40.000
country to speak badly about the president of the United States. Never liked him, never liked his
00:27:43.280
music or his radical left politics. And importantly, he's not a talented guy, just a pushy, obnoxious
00:27:47.920
jerk who fervently supported crooked Joe Biden, a mentally incompetent fool and our worst ever
00:27:53.500
president who came close to destroying our country. If I wasn't elected, it would have gone,
00:27:59.060
been gone by now. Sleepy Joe didn't have a clue as to what he was doing, but Springsteen is,
00:28:03.520
quote, dumb as a rock. Just a point. He used quotation marks here, and some people don't
00:28:08.800
understand that. New Yorkers of a certain age do that. They use quotation marks as if to boldface
00:28:13.880
something. I don't know. I know it's a quirk. People don't do it. But my, like my grandmother
00:28:17.300
wrote like this. It's anyway, that's what he's doing here. Dumb as a rock and couldn't see what was
00:28:22.080
going on. Or could he? Which is even worse. This dried out prune of a rocker, his skin is all
00:28:26.980
atrophied. Ought to keep his mouth shut until he gets back into the country. That's just standard
00:28:32.920
fare. Then we'll see how it goes for him. Okay. And, and, you know, all the, oh, all of the really
00:28:40.080
smart people who wear tweed jackets and they go on all of the television shows and they work at the
00:28:47.740
think tanks and they read all of the policy papers and they just say, Trump, what are you doing?
00:28:53.460
This again? Why? Oh, he's so, if only you took his Twitter away. That's what people say.
00:29:01.740
This is smart politics. Saying that Taylor Swift isn't hot anymore when you're the 70 something
00:29:10.080
year old president of the United States is not just not dumb politics. It's smart politics.
00:29:16.560
Going after Bruce Springsteen this way is smart politics for a different generation. When you go
00:29:22.800
after Taylor Swift, you're attracting the attention of millennials and zoomers. When you go after Bruce
00:29:27.120
Springsteen, you're attracting the attention of boomers and Gen X. This is not just not bad politics.
00:29:32.760
It's smart politics because it is accessible to everyone. The dorks who just talk about their white
00:29:42.420
papers on TV and at think tank lunches, they don't speak to everyone. Most people, even the people
00:29:49.780
who are politically sympathetic to them, have no idea what they're talking about. Trump speaks to
00:29:54.740
everyone because not only does he talk about, he does talk about policy and he does talk about trade
00:30:00.180
and he does talk about tariffs and he does talk about immigration. He does talk about foreign policy.
00:30:03.340
He also talks about Taylor Swift. Many, many more people can speak about and be interested by
00:30:12.800
a discussion about Taylor Swift than they are discussing immigration. In a democracy,
00:30:20.500
you need to talk to as many people as possible and persuade as many people as possible. There's
00:30:25.640
an irony here. Bruce Springsteen is insinuating that Trump is a threat to democracy. Democrats have
00:30:31.460
said this forever. Joe Biden's whole presidential campaign was predicated on calling Trump a threat
00:30:35.660
to democracy. Trump is the most democratic president maybe that we have ever had. Andrew
00:30:42.860
Jackson gives him a run for his money. Some of the progressives in the early 20th century give him
00:30:46.920
a run for his money. But he might, I think he probably is because he is totally fluent in the pop
00:30:54.200
culture. He is a pop culture icon and has been for decades, like 40 years at this point.
00:30:58.700
And he knows that in a democracy, this is not true in an aristocracy. This is not true in a monarchy.
00:31:04.940
This is not true in a dictatorship necessarily. But in a democracy, you need to talk to people in
00:31:12.480
ways that they understand that are accessible. You need to titillate people. You need to push their
00:31:17.160
buttons. I'm not even saying this to be condescending or to suggest this is a bad thing and these
00:31:21.880
unwashed hoi polloi. I'm interested in the Taylor Swift stuff. I'm interested in the Bruce Springsteen
00:31:26.860
stuff. It's good to talk to those people. Donald Trump is, all right, I'm willing to go all the
00:31:35.200
way. I've considered the Andrew Jackson thing. I've considered the Teddy Roosevelt and the
00:31:38.400
progressives thing. Trump is the most democratic president we've ever had. So if you don't like
00:31:44.480
that he's talking about the subjects of popular culture, don't blame him. Blame democracy.
00:31:49.500
Speaking of the public discourse, a George Washington University student, the class spokesman
00:31:56.400
at her commencement ceremony, dedicated her speech at an important moment of her life. This is a
00:32:03.880
lovely honor at one of the more important moments of her life to explaining how she is ashamed to
00:32:11.620
graduate because of the state of Israel or something. For over a year, we have watched a
00:32:19.840
genocide be committed against Palestinians. I cannot celebrate my own graduation without a heavy heart,
00:32:30.860
knowing how many students in Palestine have been forced to stop their studies,
00:32:34.740
expelled from their homes, and killed for simply remaining in the country of their ancestors.
00:32:38.980
For the rest of us, these atrocities cause us to take stock in our own complacency in the imperialist
00:32:44.680
system. I am ashamed to know my tuition is being used to fund genocide. Despite repeated calls from
00:32:51.940
students and faculty to disclose all endowments and investments by the university and divest from
00:32:57.040
the apartheid state of Israel, the administration has refused to negotiate in good faith. Instead,
00:33:04.620
they have repressed anyone with the courage to point out the blood on their hands. None of us are
00:33:08.980
free until Palestine is free. Thank you. None of us are free until Palestine is free.
00:33:16.560
I don't know what that means, and I certainly don't think it's true. I think I can be perfectly free
00:33:21.560
no matter what is going on in the Levant. I would be much more sympathetic to the Palestinian cause
00:33:29.740
if its loudest proponents were not these people. Okay, this is it. I have a pretty open mind on the
00:33:37.520
Israel-Palestine issue. I don't care that much about the state of Israel. I am broadly sympathetic
00:33:43.280
to the state of Israel. I care about the holy sites a lot. I have a lot of friends who are very
00:33:49.320
pro-Israel. It's not my top issue. I don't really care that much. I can understand some of the gripes
00:33:55.560
that come from the pro-Palestine side. But when these are the people leading the pro-Palestine
00:34:01.360
movement, how am I supposed to get on board with this? These kinds of people are wrong about
00:34:06.500
everything. That girl, I promise you, that girl giving that speech is wrong about literally
00:34:12.740
everything. So why would she be right about this issue? Furthermore, I think about the Israel-Palestine
00:34:20.920
issue. She wants us to think about it. Let's think about it. I have yet to hear anyone make a
00:34:26.020
persuasive argument that the state of Israel is not justified in going to war against Gaza and even in
00:34:32.960
continuing the war against Gaza. I sort of wish they wouldn't because I care about this more from
00:34:36.800
the American national interest. And the longer this war goes on, the more volatility is created and
00:34:41.760
the greater the risk of the United States being dragged into a war. So from the American perspective,
00:34:45.780
I would kind of like the war to wrap up. But from the Israeli perspective, can someone please
00:34:52.380
explain to me how the war is not justified? That Gaza invaded on October 7th and killed a bunch of
00:35:01.460
people and took hostages. The state of Israel responded and still has not gotten all of the hostages
00:35:09.840
back. Furthermore, the state of Israel now is looking at Gaza and saying, okay, well, Hamas in
00:35:16.300
power is an unacceptable security risk. We cannot tolerate that. So we have to do something to
00:35:21.320
change it. Furthermore, the people in Gaza, when they had a modicum of self-government, chose to elect
00:35:27.920
Hamas, which carried out the attack. So if you're the state of Israel, it seems to me that pretty much
00:35:34.700
all of the criteria of just war that we have understood from classical antiquity up through
00:35:40.820
the Middle Ages, up to the present are fulfilled here in going to war and in continuing the war.
00:35:47.300
Can someone explain to me? I have an open mind. I am easily persuadable if someone can make a good
00:35:53.740
argument. I haven't heard anyone making the argument. The only arguments I've heard are the
00:36:00.100
arguments that this lady is making and the arguments that people just don't like the state of Israel and
00:36:05.260
they want them to lose a war or something. But what is the argument? Usually what the argument
00:36:09.660
comes down to is, well, the Palestinians, it's understandable. It's understandable that they
00:36:16.860
would go in there and fly the hang gliders in and kill and rape and take a lot of hostages
00:36:21.060
because, because why? Because the Israelis shouldn't be there in the first place.
00:36:27.100
That's what it comes down to. And you heard this woman, this young girl say that during her
00:36:31.180
commencement speech. She said, I'm complicit in imperialism. It's not just the supposed genocide.
00:36:36.280
It's not any of this. It's imperialism is the problem. In other words, the Israelis shouldn't be
00:36:41.760
there in the first place. Okay. And I kind of get that, except how are you going to make that? Can
00:36:45.640
someone make that argument for me? You had a declaration from the British empire, which
00:36:52.160
controlled the area saying that you can have a homeland for Jews. Then you had a UN establishment
00:36:58.980
of the state of Israel. And then the Israelis fought a war over it in 1948.
00:37:04.980
So you, you might not like that. I don't know. You might, you might've wished the war went a
00:37:09.180
different way. You might've wished the UN didn't do that. You might've wished the Balfour
00:37:12.000
Declaration didn't take place. You might not agree with the religious or historical
00:37:15.600
premises of Zionism or anything. Sure. That's totally fine. But if you, if you actually trace
00:37:22.640
all of these things back, I, I failed to see how you could say the war, the Israelis are not
00:37:27.660
justified in going to war. And I failed to see how, if you accept the premise of modern nation
00:37:32.340
states generally, you could say that the state of Israel is not justified in existing. And you might
00:37:37.080
say, well, I don't believe in modern nation states. And okay, now we're all the way back at the
00:37:40.080
Westphalian system. Now I guess we have to have another conversation, but what is it? This is to me,
00:37:45.060
why I just can't get on board with the pro Palestine activism. Some of which crops up on
00:37:50.840
the right a little bit too, is you're basically just, you, you have to rely on the arguments that
00:37:55.380
these people are making, which are ultimately radical left arguments that undermine a lot of
00:38:00.340
the other premises that you have. You think this woman's ready for another crusade, bring back King
00:38:05.420
Baldwin to the Holy land. I don't think so. It just doesn't, doesn't hold up. So then you have to
00:38:09.400
make common cause with these people. And then what are you doing? I don't know that that's the right.

My favorite comment yesterday, or no, what was this? This would have been on Thursday because I
00:38:53.820
went down and took my family to the beach. I was on the beach for four hours and I came back looking
00:38:58.800
like I'm from the Levant. Didn't I come back a little bit Levant or Guadalajara or something? I don't
00:39:03.360
know. Got a little toasty. It's that Sicilian blood. My favorite comment in any case from Thursday
00:39:07.220
is from Maria Sanchez, SF60J, who says, coincidentally, providentially, we need to bring
00:39:13.380
back the Crusades. A lot of people are saying that. Well, we didn't get Pope Urban this time
00:39:19.380
around. We got a Pope Leo. We didn't get a Pope Urban this time, but who knows? Maybe, maybe.
00:39:23.980
Speaking of death, a lot of death in today's show. FBI Director, Kash Patel, and Deputy FBI Director,
00:39:31.880
Dan Bongino, have made a shocking, explosive claim that Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself.
00:39:40.300
You said Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide. People don't believe it.
00:39:45.940
Well, I mean, listen, they have a right to their opinion, but as someone who has worked
00:39:51.300
as a public defender, as a prosecutor, who's been in that prison system, who's been in the
00:39:55.240
Metropolitan Detention Center, who's been in segregated housing, you know a suicide when you
00:40:00.360
see one, and that's what that was. He killed himself. Again, you want me to, I've seen the
00:40:07.160
whole file. He killed himself. This is shocking, actually, because Kash Patel, everyone was so
00:40:14.020
excited for Kash Patel to go in, clean up all the corruption at the FBI. Is there any greater
00:40:17.940
symptom? Is there any greater expression of corruption at the FBI than how the Epstein case
00:40:23.580
was handled? And Dan Bongino, we love Dan. Now these guys are contradicting what everyone
00:40:31.480
believes? What am I supposed to say to this? A lot of people are saying, well, Kash, he got sucked
00:40:36.380
into the system. Dan, he sold out or whatever. Let me tell you something. I trust Dan Bongino.
00:40:43.540
I don't know Kash Patel. That's no knock on Kash Patel. I just don't know the guy. But I do know
00:40:47.340
Dan Bongino. And I trust Dan Bongino. So now this is making me rethink my priors. Because two weeks
00:40:55.440
ago, if you said, hey, Michael, Jeffrey Epstein killed himself, I'd say, ah. Now I remember I
00:41:01.780
interviewed Bill Barr around this time. Bill Barr was the attorney general. And I heard stories from
00:41:08.860
people around Bill Barr that he seemed surprised when it happened. So it didn't seem like a setup
00:41:12.920
from him at least. So hold on. What does that mean? No. On the one hand, there's no way Epstein
00:41:20.800
killed himself. On the other hand, I trust Dan Bongino. So what is it? Did Kash and Dan get duped?
00:41:29.340
Are they lying? I don't think they're lying. Or what did they not say?
00:41:35.120
Is it possible that Jeffrey Epstein did kill himself, but that he was allowed to kill himself?
00:41:44.560
Is it possible that when the cameras went out, it might just be that the cameras went out, I guess,
00:41:48.360
but when the cameras went out and the guards didn't do their checks and he was on suicide watch,
00:41:52.120
is it possible that he just had an opportunity to kill himself? Is it possible that Jeffrey Epstein was
00:41:58.980
even craftier than we realized? Even more of a political operator than we realized? Don't forget,
00:42:05.500
when Alex Acosta, the US attorney who was involved in the Epstein case, was up for labor secretary
00:42:10.060
under Trump the first time, he said, he was asked about Epstein and he said, I was told not to go
00:42:14.280
hard on Epstein because Epstein belongs to intelligence. The whole Epstein operation seems
00:42:19.320
like an intelligence operation, probably an international intelligence operation.
00:42:23.620
Is it possible that Jeffrey Epstein did in fact kill himself, but that there was nevertheless still
00:42:34.580
a conspiracy to kill Jeffrey Epstein? I don't know. That is legitimately shocking news that makes you
00:42:40.840
rethink your priors. Because unless you're just inclined to throw Patel and Dan under the bus,
00:42:46.280
which I am not, then it's making me think, okay, maybe, but even if he killed himself,
00:42:52.320
it doesn't mean that he killed himself, right? It can be the case that Jeffrey Epstein like
00:42:58.300
technically killed himself, but also Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself. Okay. Could be,
00:43:02.680
could be. I have to see if there, that kind of a statement is only going to raise more questions.

00:43:42.660
to unintelligent things, a woman has sterilized herself and is celebrating that. This TikTok has
00:43:49.160
gone a little bit viral and it was sent to us by Natalia Turiansky. It was sent to the show.
00:43:54.880
I said, Michael, take a look at what's going on in this TikTok. A woman having a party or at least
00:44:05.920
Tomorrow, I'm getting permanently sterilized by having my fallopian tubes removed.
00:44:09.980
So I decided to throw a little celebration for that and to celebrate the fact I've made
00:44:14.300
the choice to not have kids. Women tend to only be celebrated when they get engaged,
00:44:18.480
get married, or have a baby. And it's rare to see them celebrated as individuals for
00:44:22.940
their accomplishments outside of the family. So it was really important to me to make sure
00:44:26.720
that I dedicated time and space to celebrate myself and this life-changing decision that I'm
00:44:33.540
So at first, I thought this must be satire, but I don't think it is. I was looking at the
00:44:38.600
comments. I don't think it is. Notice she says, I'm having a celebration. And this is really sad.
00:44:43.040
She's the only person there, which is a symbol of the thing she's celebrating, which is cutting
00:44:49.040
herself off from other people, cutting herself off from the most basic ties. Her choice. It's not
00:44:54.880
that it just didn't work out for her. She never got married. Her family and friends died or moved
00:44:59.340
away. It's not just, oh man, this is tough suffering. Got to kiss it up. She's choosing
00:45:03.980
to isolate herself, choosing to cut herself off from the closest bonds that one can imagine in this
00:45:10.740
life. And then she puzzles at it. She says, you know, we celebrate pregnancy, but we never celebrate
00:45:19.620
intentional sterilization. Yeah. Why do you think that is? So much of a liberalism
00:45:29.280
goes down to, hey, for all of history, we've done this thing, but why don't we do the opposite of
00:45:35.920
this thing? Maybe there's a reason. You ever think that? You ever think that maybe there's a reason
00:45:44.460
why everyone everywhere has done a thing and a thing in a certain way? But the liberalism begins
00:45:53.760
from the assumption that everyone for all of history must have been wrong and deeply stupid
00:46:01.620
and that you and you alone have figured it out. You know, why, why is it? Why do you think,
00:46:09.600
why is it that everyone's always done this thing, but I'm going to do the opposite? And why, why,
00:46:13.300
why don't we do the opposite? Furthermore, who do you think she's trying to convince?
00:46:17.840
These people don't post. When relative to the people who have children versus those who have
00:46:26.780
their fallopian tubes removed, relatively few people post on TikTok about their pregnancies.
00:46:35.640
Relatively few. I know there are a lot of pregnancy TikToks, but I'm saying compared to the people who
00:46:38.820
have children, which is most people, compared to the people who don't have children and not just
00:46:45.020
don't have children, but actually intentionally sterilize themselves. Who's this lady trying to
00:46:49.680
convince? Why is she making this big celebration? This gets down to, I put this in my commencement
00:46:57.000
speech at Ave Maria, which is available at the Ave Maria YouTube channel right now. It does come down
00:47:03.100
to that vision of George Bernard Shaw. Some people see things that are and say, well, I dream things that
00:47:07.340
never were and say, why not? Which is the serpent in the garden of Eve talking, the serpent in the
00:47:11.800
garden of Eden talking to Eve. The liberals think that's really good advice. It's actually very bad
00:47:16.480
advice. And it comes back to Karl Marx in the 11th thesis on Feuerbach, who says philosophy up till now
00:47:21.380
has tried to understand the world. The point is to change it. You're not going to change the world
00:47:27.160
and you should, it would not be good if you changed the world, even if you thought you could,
00:47:32.120
because it's good to be tethered to reality. So while you're watching the Michael and,
00:47:36.620
