The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1904 - Zohran Mamdani Freezes 16 New Yorkers To DEATH

00:00:00.000 The warmth of collectivism inaugurated by Zoran Mamdani kills 16 homeless New Yorkers in just 0.90

00:00:06.220 one month. Jeffrey Epstein turns out to be Vladimir Putin's money manager. That's actually

00:00:11.260 kind of a new revelation of the files. We'll get into what that means. And 30-something women, 1.00

00:00:16.700 not the number 30, like the age 30, women in their 30s are now injecting themselves with fat 0.89

00:00:23.000 from corpses to make their derrieres look plumper. Did I read that? Did I read that right? Is that

00:00:28.840 really a news story? Did that really happen? Why is that happening? I'm Michael Knowles,

00:00:32.300 Michael Knowles Show. Welcome back to the show. The septum ring strikes again. A septum ring lady 0.74

00:00:56.040 has gone viral for saying that she will burn her life to the ground over the ICE protests. 0.54

00:01:04.240 Why is it always the septum ring? And what does this mean? Ordinary people who support law and

00:01:10.860 order, not just conservatives, just normal people generally, need to beware this religious, 0.92

00:01:17.560 pseudo-religious impulse among the very, very angry middle-aged white ladies. We'll get to 0.99

00:01:23.000 that momentarily. First, though, I want to tell you about Leaf Home. Go to leaffilter.com. L-E-A-F

00:02:46.940 Before we get into anything, I'm going to be speaking in Nashville on Friday. YAF and The

00:02:52.920 Daily Wire are partnering up for an America 250 rally to celebrate America as we now officially

00:02:58.740 enter into the bicesquicentennial, the 250th anniversary of America. It's going to be a great

00:03:04.640 time. There are going to be a bunch of other speakers there. And Antifa has decided to show up

00:03:09.700 to protest me. This hit my newsfeed yesterday. There's a Nashville Antifa, even in Nashville,

00:03:17.880 nowhere is sacred, I guess. This is the rally against transphobia. They're still on this.

00:03:23.320 They're still on the trans thing. They never give it up because it's the apotheosis of liberalism,

00:03:27.060 because the transgender ideology is the culmination of centuries of the liberal impulse

00:03:32.620 for radical liberation from everything, including morality, social order, religion, God,

00:03:38.800 and even the self. And they're particularly upset at me, it turns out. They write on their 615

00:03:45.660 anti-fascist page, one of the headline figures at the conference is Michael Knowles, a Daily Wire host

00:03:51.360 whose participation has drawn controversy because of his inflammatory rhetoric about trans people and

00:03:56.660 blah, blah, blah. So anyway, they're inviting all of their goons to show up and create trouble at the

00:04:02.260 YAF, Daily Wire Rally. I then looked at their website, not just their social media pages.

00:04:09.080 And I guess they're targeting me. A headline, Michael Knowles listed as a speaker for this conference.

00:04:14.400 Other guys though, Nick Freitas. Nick Freitas, who has personally armed me. I appreciate that.

00:04:20.120 Mary Margaret Olihan, Reagan, Cabot, Abby Johnson. Okay. I just, I look on the bright side of things.

00:04:28.680 I'm a glass half full kind of guy because hope is a theological virtue and actually a command that we

00:04:34.060 have to follow. And I look at this as glass half full because a little warning to our friends in

00:04:39.780 Antifa, the last time Antifa sent one of their goons to one of my speaking events, he ended up in

00:04:45.820 federal prison. He's still in federal prison. So if they want to show up again, that's fine.

00:04:51.720 Antifa thinks that it's going to intimidate us, especially in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination,

00:04:57.420 the constant threats on conservatives. The point of which is to chill ordinary speech in public life,

00:05:05.080 spook us, scare us into staying home. Not going to work. Not going to work. I take this as a

00:05:10.380 wonderful opportunity. The last time Antifa showed up, I was able to help to correct America's

00:05:16.800 under-incarceration problem. Very glad that one of their members is now wearing an orange jumpsuit.

00:05:22.300 And so I take this as an opportunity. If Antifa wants to get out of hand, even here in my hometown

00:05:28.200 of Nashville, that's fine. We will use that as another opportunity to help replenish America's 0.88

00:05:34.000 prisons with some of their lawless people. So anyway, it'll be a lot of fun. I think the event

00:05:38.320 will be streamed. If you're in Nashville, feel free to come down. Watch out for Antifa. But happily,

00:05:43.240 we have good cops here in Nashville, so I'm not too concerned. Speaking of lawlessness,

00:05:50.040 Zoran Mamdani has just made a really sad and totally predictable announcement.

00:05:56.560 You know, we in Nashville got smacked probably the hardest of any city in the country with this cold

00:06:01.280 front that just moved in, left a lot of people out of power, sent me to the hood for a few days

00:06:06.360 because my power was out. And a pal of mine put me up there in one of his Airbnbs. That's where I was

00:06:11.340 broadcasting the show from with him producing. It was very, very nice. Luckily, Nashville is mostly

00:06:16.820 back online. When the cold front made it to New York, it was not nearly as bad. There was very

00:06:21.520 little ice. It was mostly just snow. And nevertheless, 16 homeless New Yorkers died during that brief

00:06:29.140 little cold snap. Here is the new mayor of New York. A severe cold front continues to bear down on

00:06:36.680 our city. Today is our 11th consecutive day of below freezing weather. And we could very well be in the

00:06:43.800 middle of the longest period of consecutive sub 32 degree weather in our city's entire history.

00:06:50.500 Without temperatures rising above freezing, snow has hardened into blocks of ice. But the greatest

00:06:56.340 danger posed by the sustained cold is to vulnerable New Yorkers who remain exposed to the elements.

00:07:01.620 As of this morning, 16 of our fellow New Yorkers have passed away outside during this brutal stretch

00:07:07.160 of cold. In 13 of these cases, preliminary findings indicate that hypothermia played a role.

00:07:12.840 And three of these deaths appear to be overdose deaths. We await final results from the medical

00:07:17.460 examiner's office and will inform New Yorkers as we learn more. Each of these lives lost is a tragedy.

00:07:23.800 My heart was at the family of those mourning their loved ones.

00:07:26.560 Okay, so Zoran is blaming these deaths mostly on nature, though he admits a few of them are drug

00:07:32.940 deaths. However, I want to take a national view here. New York did not really get hit hard in this

00:07:38.620 cold front. Other places did, and people died in other parts of the country.

00:07:44.400 But they died because the weather came in, totally overwhelmed the systems that are not built for

00:07:50.180 cold weather. They're not built for snow and ice. And some people very sadly died in their homes

00:07:54.820 because they couldn't get power back online because of this once in a decade, once in three

00:07:58.460 or four decades cold snap. Terribly sad in a lot of places, kind of unavoidable.

00:08:05.400 Not the case in New York. New York is built for cold weather. Cold weather hits New York every

00:08:10.200 single year. New York knows how to deal with cold weather, usually when they have competent

00:08:14.360 management and government. The people who died in New York did not die because their power went out.

00:08:19.740 New York didn't lose power. They died because they were left to die on the streets. Why were

00:08:26.000 they left to die on the streets? Is this just some immutable characteristic of New York? What can we

00:08:31.340 do? Throw our arms up in the air? A longstanding problem? No, it's not. They were left to die on the

00:08:38.380 streets specifically because Zoran Mamdani, who has been in office for just one month now,

00:08:44.060 left them to die on the streets, and in fact, campaigned to leave them to die on the streets.

00:08:51.220 Don't take my word for it. Here is CBS News, local New York.

00:08:55.660 Mayor-elect Zoran Mamdani says that he will end the Adams administration's practice of removing

00:09:01.220 homeless encampments from city sidewalks. But advocates argue it will be a step backwards for

00:09:07.300 the city's quality of life. Ali Bauman questioned the mayor-elect about this tonight.

00:09:11.780 For the past three years, the NYPD has been systematically removing homeless encampments

00:09:17.580 from New York City sidewalks, a practice mayor-elect Zoran Mamdani vows to end once he takes office.

00:09:24.060 Vows to end it. This is Mamdani campaigning and then in the transition saying, we are

00:09:29.360 intentionally going to leave the homeless, who are almost entirely drug addicts and mentally ill.

00:09:35.600 We're gonna leave them on the streets. And this is supposedly going to be compassionate.

00:09:39.880 That's a change of policy from the previous administration, which just left office.

00:09:45.860 A little history of New York. In the 70s and 80s, there were a lot of bums, a lot of criminals, 1.00

00:09:50.360 a lot of homeless on the streets. Rudy Giuliani came in in the 1990s and got rid of all that.

00:09:55.840 Said, no, no, no, you homeless, you need to go to shelters or we're gonna arrest you.

00:10:00.940 But we're not gonna leave you on the streets. Rudy Giuliani reiterated this after he was mayor

00:10:04.660 of New York during the Occupy Wall Street protests. When people set up encampments all over the city,

00:10:09.560 he said, no, no, no, you can't do this. Sleeping on the street is a dysfunctional act which harms

00:10:14.820 society and the individual. In other words, letting the homeless stay on the street 0.96

00:10:21.020 is contrary to the common good. It's not just that letting the homeless stay on the street is good for

00:10:27.800 the homeless, but it's bad for the rest of the New Yorkers who don't want to see them.

00:10:30.860 That's how Mamdani's presenting it. The real argument is, no, no, no, it's actually bad for

00:10:35.620 everyone. Because, yeah, it's bad for the law-abiding New Yorkers who don't want criminals

00:10:40.260 and drug addicts and crazy people running around the streets all the time. But it's bad for the

00:10:44.160 homeless. It's bad for them because they're susceptible to crime, susceptible to being

00:10:49.700 assaulted or raped or killed, and they're also vulnerable to the elements. It's very, very dangerous

00:10:55.780 to leave them on the streets at all times of the year, especially in the winter.

00:10:59.840 Now we are seeing the fruit of that pay off. This is the warmth of collectivism. This is the

00:11:05.140 compassion that Zoran Mamdani has promised. Left 60 New Yorkers dead during a totally predictable,

00:11:11.560 not even all that bad cold front. And he even gives away the game there. He's trying to mitigate

00:11:17.040 his culpability. So he's saying, well, yeah, okay, I left 13 of them to die from the cold. They

00:11:21.720 basically froze like Jack Nicholson at the end of The Shining. And yeah, okay, I'm not going to take

00:11:25.740 responsibility for that. But yeah, you know, sure. Okay. The cold got him. But three of them just

00:11:30.480 overdosed. Like that's better? Like that's good? Well, they chose to die. They consented. They're

00:11:37.520 consenting adults. First of all, you can't consent when you're crazy or when you're addicted to all

00:11:42.120 kinds of vices or when you're underage or when there are all sorts of things that compromise our

00:11:46.420 consent. So Zoran Mamdani's whole policy is based on a misconception of freedom, what freedom really is.

00:11:53.620 He thinks freedom, like all liberals, he thinks freedom is just neutrality and choosing.

00:11:59.620 Well, some people choose not to do heroin, but some people choose to do heroin. And who are we

00:12:04.100 to say what the better choice is? It's a misconception of freedom. It's a misconception

00:12:09.500 of the common good. It's a misconception of what's good for everybody. The common good is not just the

00:12:16.200 random collection of all of the individual goods of people, some of which are contrary to each other,

00:12:20.840 in this kind of utilitarian calculation that tries to lead to the greatest utility for the greatest

00:12:25.240 number. The common good is what we all share, what is good for all of us, what is not diminished by

00:12:31.340 any individual good. And it's a misunderstanding of compassion. It is not compassionate to just

00:12:37.480 ignore people. It's funny because the left accuses the right of this. You just ignore people. You

00:12:42.740 retreat to your nice neighborhoods and your penthouses and your money, and you ignore your

00:12:46.760 common man. You don't think you're your brother's keeper. The left is, sometimes the right is guilty

00:12:51.020 of that, especially the more libertarian right. The left is just as guilty of that. Oh, just leave

00:12:56.440 people to their degradation. Leave people to their vices. Leave people to their destructive behaviors.

00:13:01.760 Be it on sexual ideologies. Be it on just license more broadly. Be it with regard to living on the

00:13:10.800 street. Just leave them. It's fine. Who are you to intervene? Who am I? I'm a reasonable person,

00:13:16.840 and I'm a member of society, and I'm a citizen. And the consequences of all three of those

00:13:22.140 misconceptions from Zoran Mamdani are that 16 people die up the street, die on the street,

00:13:28.920 whether from drugs or from exposure. That's the warmth of collectivism.

00:13:33.900 What would have been more compassionate for the homeless? Zoran Mamdani, who says all sorts of

00:13:38.880 sweet things about the homeless and leaves them to die on the street, or Rudy Giuliani,

00:13:43.120 who talks a little tougher, who seems a little bit meaner, but who protects those people?

00:13:49.260 Where's the real compassion? That's it. We're one month into Mamdani. One month in, 0.95

00:13:54.480 and you've got homeless ice cubes lining the streets of New York, some of which also have

00:14:01.900 heroin and fentanyl in their blood. Real nice, real nice. We're in for a real treat with Zoran.

00:14:08.100 Okay, speaking of Manhattan and dead people, 30-something-year-old women in Manhattan are, 1.00

00:14:15.960 according to the New York Post, injecting themselves with fat from cadavers to make

00:14:20.120 their butts look better. We'll get to that momentarily. First, I want to tell you,

00:14:24.340 speaking of looking better, actually looking better, I want to tell you about Mizzen and

00:14:27.400 Maine. Go to MizzenandMaine.com, promo code Michael, M-I-C-H-A-E-L 20. You know what's very,

00:14:33.500 very frustrating, especially if you're a man, but really everybody? Ironing. I have an ironing

00:14:39.640 board. I use it once a year at most. I don't all want to iron. That's one reason I love

00:15:05.380 lightweight, moisture wicking, wrinkle resistant, and completely machine washable. No ironing or

00:15:09.060 dry cleaning needed. The moment you put their clothes on, you feel the difference. Professional

00:15:13.920 style that is actually comfortable, whether you're at the office, traveling, or maybe hitting up a cigar

00:15:18.820 lounge. I love it. Mizzen and Maine stuff is great, especially as we're looking forward to spring.

00:15:58.280 York shooting corpse fat into their butts, I want to tell you something that I knew I would

00:16:04.920 have to tell you, which is that I told you so. Yesterday, I launched the 2026 edition of the

00:16:12.120 Smells and Bells candle. This is the official candle for Lent, the season of penitence, looking

00:16:19.800 ahead toward Easter. And what did I tell you? You know what I told you. I said, if you want the

00:16:26.140 candle, order it now, because we sell out every single year and we're going to sell out. And so

00:16:33.600 I want you to get as many as you want, as many as you're going to want, buy two, buy three, buy four,

00:16:38.240 whatever you want, get them now because they're going to be sold out. And then if they're sold

00:16:41.500 out and then you go the next day or the day after that, you're going to be very angry with me because

00:16:44.640 they're gone. The only way in which I was wrong is we actually sold out a little bit faster than I

00:16:50.800 expected. So we sold out of the whole initial stock. Every candle that we made is spoken for.

00:16:57.340 I don't want the angry emails. I planned for this. I said, okay, I know we're going to sell out the

00:17:02.860 initial stock. See if we can secure other glass and wax and all the rest of it. We are currently,

00:17:10.860 there's hope, there's hope. We are currently collecting orders as more inventory becomes

00:17:17.020 available. We had our poor candle crew on the phones for a lot of yesterday, trying to get more

00:17:24.560 ingredients and resources and all the rest. This is a first come first serve. I am not promising.

00:17:30.920 Listen to me. I am not promising that there will be an additional candle. Okay. I'm not promising that

00:17:36.560 we are collecting orders right now. We are doing our best. I already told you so. I'm sorry if you

00:17:42.160 didn't get them yesterday. A lot of you did get them yesterday. Go to the candle club.com

00:17:46.640 slash NOLS right now. If you want your smells and bells candle for the next batch, there will be

00:17:51.600 some kind of next batch. I don't know how big it will be. Supplies are limited and the storm actually

00:17:57.640 did not help the supply chains or anything. There will be some. If you, if you want a chance at

00:18:02.400 getting one, I love, I'm glad that you're very enthusiastic about it. I'm very enthusiastic about

00:18:06.380 it too. If you want a chance of getting one, you have to order it immediately and maybe you will get

00:18:10.900 it. It is the candle club.com head on over there right now. Thank you for ordering. I'm very

00:18:15.500 pleased. Do you want to make your home smell like a 12th century monastery? I love it. It's my

00:18:18.520 favorite candle. We make the candle club.com turning back to Manhattan. This is a story from the New

00:18:26.340 York post where okay. Back side from the dead, women chasing the perfect body are pumping quote 1.00

00:18:36.080 ethically sourced, ethically sourced cadaver fat into boobs and butts. We're recycling.

00:18:44.380 Their words, not mine. I'm just going to read you a little bit, just a little, couple little

00:18:48.960 sections from this article. You can read the whole thing. She recently ditched her barely there 32 A 1.00

00:18:56.040 cups for 40, 42, sorry, 32 B cup bazooms, getting a pair of Motiva breast implants and several

00:19:04.860 cc's of aloe clay in November. What is aloe clay? It's fat from dead people. Wanting a natural and

00:19:12.760 supple finish, the Pilates instructor entrusted Dr. Anna Steve of Ninstein Plastic Surgery to round

00:19:19.360 out her new embellishments with the liquid gold that's derived from the dead. It's a grim detail

00:19:24.260 Daphne often reminds herself to forget. I have chosen not to think about it, the 38-year-old chuckled,

00:19:29.500 referring to the creepiness of using fat from an anonymous cadaver source. Dr. Anna explained that

00:19:36.020 aloe clay would give me the best results and she was so right, added Daphne, gushing over the quote

00:19:41.820 unparalleled confidence she's gained since boosting her bust. Now, in case you're wondering where the

00:19:48.100 dead people fat comes from, this company insists upon very rigorous standards. The dead people have

00:19:54.680 to be at least 18 years old and they need to have had an autopsy. So it can't be from children who are 0.93

00:20:04.020 possibly not dead. That's the standard here. They are harvesting fat from bodies, but it's ethically

00:20:12.020 sourced, meaning it's not from children and the sources have been officially ruled to be dead.

00:20:20.660 So it's not from living children. Okay, last little piece from the article. It can sound jarring at first,

00:20:28.460 Stacy, 34, a married financial specialist, told the Post. But when you look at it scientifically,

00:20:35.120 cadaver donor tissue has been used in medicine for decades. Medicine. Medicine now meaning making

00:20:43.880 women's derrieres look a little plumper. The Manhattanite, who asked that her last name be withheld, 1.00

00:20:49.720 I wonder why, used the harvested human remains for a mini Brazilian butt lift, BBL. She also relied on 1.00

00:20:56.520 the borrowed goods to fill her hip dips and to revise a botched liposuction job on her inner left 1.00

00:21:02.920 thigh. It's highly regulated and ethically sourced, she raved of the donations from the dearly departed. 0.85

00:21:09.580 It's like we're recycling. They keep using this word ethically. And I'm not sure that word means

00:21:18.940 exactly what we think it means. This is really perverse. I think most people hearing the story

00:21:24.880 would say this is really messed up in that this is something's gone a little, probably a hundred

00:21:29.580 thousand things have gone wrong to lead us to the point where middle-aged, young-ish to middle-aged

00:21:35.480 women are taking fat from dead people to make themselves look a little bit better. Some of these 1.00

00:21:43.840 women, by the way, are married. So I don't know who you're trying to impress. This is more perverse 0.96

00:21:48.920 even than it seems at first glance though, because it's a fallen world. People do bad things. That's

00:21:55.040 been true always and everywhere since we got booted from the Garden of Eden. However, there's a difference

00:21:59.760 between typical vice and atypical vice. Ordinary bad stuff and like really decadent, degenerate,

00:22:09.700 especially crazy Sodom and Gomorrah type of bad stuff. The typical vice is the old feeding on the

00:22:18.880 young. That's a typical vice. The midlife crisis. The guy in his forties leaves his wife and shacks up

00:22:27.840 with a 25-year-old secretary or something. That's the typical vice. That's what Dracula is about, 0.94

00:22:33.560 right? The older guy trying to become young again by feeding, usually in a sexual way, on young women.

00:22:42.820 That's the ordinary wickedness. In this case though, it's not the old feeding on the young.

00:22:51.480 It's the young-ish, young-ish to middle-aged feeding on the dead. 0.98

00:23:00.760 Whoa, whoa, man. That is really creepy. And it's ethical. It's ethically sourced. It's kind of like

00:23:08.540 recycling. Oh, to unpack that, we would need three days. We don't have three days, so I'll fit it into

00:23:14.000 one minute. Recycling is a word that we get from environmentalism. Environmentalism, which is one

00:23:24.640 of the many replacements for traditional religion, Christianity, that has come out of liberalism,

00:23:31.260 which was a way to try to preserve Christianity without Christ. It was a way to try to keep religion 0.75

00:23:36.480 without God. And so you get all sorts of ideologies that replace religion in liberalism, be it Marxism,

00:23:44.700 be it environmentalism, be it the sexual revolution, transgenderism, whatever. There are all these kind

00:23:50.800 of partial trying to grab onto truths that become great perversions. And so in this, they say, well,

00:23:56.660 it's kind of like recycling. Now, you can say some version of recycling might be okay. In principle,

00:24:01.000 you throw out your plastic bottles in a different can. Practically, it doesn't matter because it all just

00:24:05.760 goes to East Asia, and it's all just trash, basically. But at least in theory, you could convince yourself, 1.00

00:24:10.920 okay, this might be good for the natural environment. Okay. Recycling by taking the fat from dead people

00:24:16.820 to make your rump look a little more plump, that's a little bit different, isn't it? And some would say

00:24:26.020 that it is especially unethical because it involves the desecration of dead bodies.

00:24:32.120 We kind of just generally desecrate dead bodies now in our society. When Christendom was strong,

00:24:40.740 there was a prohibition on cremation. Now, a lot of people get cremated. Maybe most people get

00:24:46.320 cremated for all we know. What is wrong about cremation? It's considered licit even by the

00:24:53.720 Catholic Church now in today's day and age, but I don't think it's good. And the reason it's not good is 1.00

00:24:59.180 symbolically it's not good because it symbolically implies a mockery of the resurrection of the body.

00:25:07.420 Christianity is distinguished from other religions in part because we believe in the resurrection of

00:25:14.200 the body. Not just the resurrection of an idea, not just the immortality of the soul, but the

00:25:19.120 resurrection of the body. We will have our bodies again, a glorified body. And so it's not that God

00:25:24.440 can't bring up all the ashes or something, give us a glorified body. But it's just that symbolically,

00:25:29.720 we're human beings. We communicate through symbols and rituals and these actions that have meaning.

00:25:35.180 Symbolically, it seems to undermine the resurrection of the body. So we treat dead bodies well.

00:25:42.080 We bury them. We put them in mausoleums. We pray over them. We have headstones where people go and

00:25:49.220 visit and say prayers and all that kind of stuff. And now we don't really do that. We have funerals.

00:25:53.060 Now we don't really have funerals. We try to get rid of dead bodies as quickly as we can.

00:25:58.420 We scatter the ashes. Maybe we have a celebration of life later on. We don't want to deal with this

00:26:03.380 fact of death. We don't want to think about the meaning of the immortality of the soul and

00:26:07.420 certainly the resurrection of the body. So we just try to forget about it. We actually pretend that we

00:26:12.040 just turn to worm food when we die. That nothing really happens. Nothing really means anything.

00:26:16.380 And so then we end up desecrating bodies. This was a major controversy during the scientific

00:26:23.260 revolution and in the renaissance because people were doing experiments on dead bodies. But you

00:26:27.300 can say, okay, there's some ethics to this because we're doing these experiments in order to improve

00:26:31.080 human life and to cure illnesses. And now we've taken this to the point that we are scraping fat

00:26:36.380 off of the dead bodies, which we treat as no different than any other kind of refuse.

00:26:41.400 We're scraping the fat off to make married 34-year-old women's butts look a little bigger 1.00

00:26:46.860 for whom? I guess their husbands, maybe for Instagram. I don't really know.

00:26:51.860 This is a level of decadence that most people would not have been able to predict.

00:26:59.280 This is Nikola Tesla. You will live to see horrors beyond your wildest imagination.

00:27:06.880 Beginning in New York, but it will not stay in New York. The errors of New York,

00:27:10.600 the errors of Russia spread throughout the world in the 20th century. The errors of New York will 0.95

00:27:14.480 spread throughout America. Get ready, get ready for your girlfriend to have dead people's fat in her 1.00

00:27:21.680 butt. Not a sentence I expected ever to say on this show. Now, speaking of death sentences,

00:27:28.300 this is a tough, tough, tough day, tough news cycle. We'll get to the current Democrat claim

00:27:34.400 that sending Haitians back to Haiti is a death sentence. First though, speaking of ethics and

00:27:43.700 bodies and protections and the sacred, I want to tell you about pre-born. Go to pre-born.com

00:27:49.240 slash Knowles, K-N-W-L-E-S. Pregnancy can arrive unexpectedly. For those facing an unplanned pregnancy,

00:27:54.260 fear and uncertainty can feel overwhelming. Past decisions and abortions may carry

00:27:58.180 lingering grief that's hard to navigate alone. That's where our sponsor, Pre-Born, steps in.

00:28:02.480 These clinics offer compassion and support without judgment, providing honest conversations,

00:28:06.480 accurate information, and a safe space to process difficult emotions and explore real options.

00:28:11.320 One of the most powerful tools Pre-Born provides is ultrasound technology. Seeing and developing

00:28:14.580 baby on screen and hearing a heartbeat can bring clarity in moments of confusion. For many,

00:28:18.880 that simple appointment becomes a turning point, transforming fear into hope and uncertainty

00:28:22.300 into confidence. Pre-Born walks alongside women through every stage of their journey,

00:28:25.620 offering ongoing emotional support, practical resources, and community. The impact is real.

00:28:30.600 Babies are born, families are formed, healing happens. One ultrasound, that one moment can change

00:28:36.160 everything. You can be a part of it for just $28. $28 covers the cost of that ultrasound.

00:28:41.280 Baby's chance at life is doubled. I personally support this organization. I strongly recommend you do as

00:28:45.780 well. All donations are tax deductible. 100% of your donation goes directly to saving babies and

00:28:51.340 building families. They fundraise for overhead separately. To donate securely,

00:28:55.060 dial pound 250, say the keyword baby, B-A-B-Y. This pound 250, say baby, or you go to

00:29:00.900 preworn.com slash Knowles, K-N-W-L-E-S, preworn.com slash Knowles. A new Democrat talking point just

00:29:07.680 dropped. This care of Congress ladies, Laura Gillen and Frederica Wilson. This is because Trump

00:29:14.600 is ending temporary protective status for 350,000 Haitians who are in the United States.

00:29:18.480 The new argument is that sending Haitians back to Haiti is a death sentence.

00:29:26.200 Sending these people back to Haiti is basically a death sentence. And that's why we were asking 0.72

00:29:32.120 the administration to open up their hearts and to extend this TPS.

00:29:36.100 Okay, why is sending Haitians to Haiti a death sentence?

00:29:41.460 I'm trying to think of the most charitable, reasonable read of this. I guess you could say

00:29:45.620 it's because Haiti has natural disasters, right? In that case, if someone is seeking refuge from a

00:29:53.040 natural disaster, then sending them back to a place that is still reeling from the consequences

00:29:58.280 of natural disaster, where they don't have food or water or shelter or whatever, I guess that would

00:30:02.460 be a kind of a death sentence. Maybe it could still be justifiable, but okay, I could understand that.

00:30:07.200 Is that the problem? I don't think there's been a recent natural disaster in Haiti.

00:30:12.820 But what specifically makes it a death sentence to send Haitians to Haiti?

00:30:18.180 They are terrorized. They are terrorized. Haitian nationals. This is cruelty. This is inhumane. 1.00

00:30:26.880 And this is a death sentence. Because we already know the consequences. Because in Haiti, there's 1.00

00:30:36.300 open warfare and rape. There's ravaging violence against women and children. There are no school

00:30:44.680 days, no work schedule. You do what the gangs want you to do.

00:30:50.420 Okay, so it's not a natural disaster. It's not an earthquake or a snowstorm. I don't think they

00:30:54.440 get a lot of snowstorms in Haiti. The reason that these Democrats are contending in unison

00:30:59.640 that sending Haitians, who have no right to be here in America, no long-term right, 0.98

00:31:04.520 back to Haiti, where they're from, the reason that that's a death sentence is because in Haiti, 0.98

00:31:10.400 there are Haitians. It's the Haitians. They say, we can't expose these Haitians to Haitians. 1.00

00:31:17.540 The Haitians will kill them. Why? Because you're getting it straight from Frederica Wilson, 0.98

00:31:23.380 Democrat Congress lady. Because Haitians rape each other. They commit a lot of violence. 1.00

00:31:31.000 There's total disorder in their community. There are a lot of gangs. They don't work.

00:31:36.080 They don't go to school. They just rape and kill each other. 0.85

00:31:41.460 Per a supposed champion of the Haitians, Frederica Wilson. She says, these Haitians, 0.93

00:31:47.900 these Haitians are bad news, man. If you send people to go live with Haitians, 1.00

00:31:53.600 they'll die. They'll get raped and assaulted and die.

00:31:59.820 Okay, so then why would you send your own constituents to live with Haitians? 1.00

00:32:07.200 I'm not weighing in on the merits here. I think there's probably a lot of truth to what Frederica

00:32:12.180 Wilson is inadvertently saying here. But I'm not weighing in. I'm not making any substantive claim

00:32:17.500 about the Haitians. I'm simply taking their premise at their word. If that is the case, 0.99

00:32:24.300 then what they are admitting here is they would never send Haitians to go live with Haitians.

00:32:29.600 It's so awful. It's a death sentence. But they would send all of their constituents to live with

00:32:34.360 Haitians. It would be terrible if Haitians were raped and assaulted and terrorized by gangs. 0.98

00:32:42.620 Therefore, Americans must be raped and assaulted and terrorized by gangs. That is the argument

00:32:48.420 that the Democrats are making explicitly right now. Seems like the Trump policy is probably a pretty

00:32:56.120 smart one. I'm all for charity. I'm all for trying to be nice to people, recognizing America does have

00:33:03.220 a global leadership role. Yeah, of course. So if there's an earthquake or something,

00:33:06.300 something beyond the control of the people, a temporary problem, maybe we try to help them out.

00:33:10.920 Maybe. If this is just how Haiti is, and it is, I mean, this is how Haiti has been for now

00:33:18.080 like 230 years. The Haitian Revolution began in what, 1791? It ended in 1804. It culminated when the

00:33:29.680 Haitians slaughtered all the remaining white people in Haiti, killed all of the French, 0.98

00:33:33.100 men, women, and children, just slaughtered them all, raped the women first, but then slaughtered 0.99

00:33:36.340 them all. It's 1804. It's 2026. They haven't fixed it yet. Haiti's only gotten worse. 1.00

00:33:45.960 So is their argument just, we need to take all the Haitians? Why would we allow any Haitians to live 1.00

00:33:52.440 with Haitians? It's a death sentence. But then if we bring them here, then we're exposing all the 1.00

00:34:00.000 Americans to the Haitians. So then why would we tolerate any of these Haitians coming to the country 1.00

00:34:05.860 if the Democrats are right about the Haitians? Why would we do that? Because their political agenda

00:34:14.520 is, at least in principle, to help everybody else in the world and always to punish Americans. 0.59

00:34:23.380 Always to punish Americans. For what? They can't quite tell you. They give you a thousand reasons, 0.99

00:34:28.500 none of which makes sense, many of which are contradictory. But that's what it's about.

00:34:34.440 The Democrats are running on this campaign. Let's punish Americans. Let's allow Americans, 1.00

00:34:38.780 not just the Haitians, let's allow Americans to be raped and assaulted and subject to gang violence 1.00

00:34:43.860 from Venezuelan criminals who come across the border, from Somalis who defraud the government 1.00

00:34:48.540 and fund terrorism overseas and create havoc and disorder in our cities. Let's always punish

00:34:54.460 Americans for the supposed benefit of everybody else in the world. And Trump is running on the

00:34:59.100 policy of, hey, let's help Americans. Let's for once put the American citizens first when it comes to

00:35:07.560 American civil law and American national policy.

00:35:10.360 I'm starting to think, look, by all systemic measures, Republicans should lose the midterms

00:35:19.280 big. It's just what happens when a party takes the White House, usually the next time the other

00:35:23.460 party takes the Congress, maybe the Senate. And that's just how it works. It's how the pendulum

00:35:27.460 swings. If that's what the Dems are running on, it's going to be hard. Who knows? We're living in

00:35:34.120 unprecedented times. We have a president who has a non-consecutive second term.

00:35:37.040 This is only the second time in American history that's happened. I don't know. Maybe this bodes

00:35:41.220 well. In any case, please, Republicans, clip this out. This should be one of many campaign ads

00:35:47.660 throughout the campaign. Trump wants to get the rapists and the gang members and the murderers

00:35:54.840 out of our country, and we want to keep them here. Okay. All right. That's a bold strategy. We'll 1.00

00:36:01.120 see how it works. Speaking of immoral behavior, a story I've wanted to get to for at least a couple

00:36:04.140 days. A Florida couple is suing an IVF company because this couple, Lily White is the freshly 0.53

00:36:11.240 driven snow, gave birth to a baby that appears to be Indian. How'd that happen? Either the wife 1.00

00:36:21.080 has something to admit to the husband, but I don't think it's that because they went to IVF,

00:36:24.440 so I don't think it's that. Or something went really wrong with IVF. We'll get to that momentarily.

00:36:29.600 First, though, our epic fantasy series, The Pendragon Cycle Rise of the Merlin,

00:36:34.240 now has its own membership tier on Daily Wire+. It is called the Pendragon Pass. Pendragon is

00:36:39.200 getting a ton of plaudits all over the place from people who love Daily Wire, from people who hate

00:36:43.760 Daily Wire, people who probably hate all conservatives. It's just so good. You get three

00:36:48.560 months of Daily Wire+, and your first month is completely free, so you get access to the seven

00:36:52.800 episode origin story of Merlin. You also get official Pendragon Cycle collector cards. You're

00:36:58.100 automatically entered to win a trip to one of my favorite cities in the world, which is Budapest,

00:37:01.900 one of the primary filming locations. It's great. You've got to go to dailywire.com, though.

00:37:05.700 Become a member right now. You will get three months of Daily Wire+, with your first month,

00:37:09.840 free. My favorite comment, truly my favorite comment yesterday, comes from Guzdez,

00:37:14.960 who says, in response to my claiming, reading some of the Epstein files, that I was totally vindicated

00:37:19.820 in my prediction. Guzdez disagrees and says, Michael, I think the conspiracy theorists

00:37:24.720 are more vindicated than MK on this one. I have to challenge your premise, because your premise

00:37:33.140 is that when it comes to Epstein, I am not a conspiracy theorist. I guess I'm not a conspiracy

00:37:39.700 theorist, generally speaking, but when it comes to Epstein, you seem to suggest that I don't think

00:37:45.760 there's a conspiracy. And I don't know, maybe I wasn't clear in my show yesterday. Maybe you missed

00:37:51.500 what I said in my show yesterday. Not only do I think Epstein was involved in a conspiracy,

00:37:57.880 I think Epstein was involved in like a billion conspiracies. I think we don't even know the

00:38:03.740 number of conspiracies he was involved in. I am many times over a conspiracy theorist when it comes

00:38:10.540 to the case of Jeffrey Epstein, because we have ample evidence of myriad conspiracies in the emails,

00:38:17.260 more so in all the emails that come out, including one of them that we'll talk about today,

00:38:21.000 which is Epstein managing money for Vladimir Putin. There is no, you seem to think there's

00:38:26.920 a contradiction here where there is none. We'll get to that in a moment. First, though,

00:38:31.440 this Florida couple. So, hold on, let me get rid of the article from the Times about the

00:38:36.440 cadaverous Brazilian butt lifts. Let's get to this strange couple. Do I have it? I don't have it.

00:38:43.500 They didn't give me my article. Okay. Well, that's very frustrating. In any case, the story is of a

00:38:50.480 Florida couple suing a fertility clinic after an embryo mix-up. Oopsie-daisy. This is the birth 0.62

00:38:57.920 of a non-Caucasian child, which is obviously biologically not theirs. In a way, maybe biologically 0.82

00:39:04.040 theirs if the woman gestated the baby, though she might have just hired a surrogate, as many people

00:39:09.060 do in this industry. And so, whoops, we got the wrong baby. And now what are they going to do?

00:39:15.100 I wish I had the details of the story. I'll flog my producers after the show for not giving me this

00:39:20.160 article. But the details almost don't matter. We actually have enough facts to come to a difficult

00:39:27.740 conclusion about this. I know a lot of people have used IVF. IVF technology has been around for decades,

00:39:33.960 though it's dramatically increased in prevalence as costs have come down a little bit, and as

00:39:40.080 restrictions on it have loosened up. I know a lot of people, they say, well, I wouldn't have my kid

00:39:45.460 if it weren't for IVF. I wouldn't have this, that, or the other thing. I wouldn't have my niece. I

00:39:51.240 wouldn't have my cousin. I know, I know.

00:39:56.240 Good ends do not justify immoral means. And I want to point out what happens here.

00:40:00.740 The couple, oopsie-daisy, they mixed up the embryos, they get the wrong baby.

00:40:05.120 The only two things that can happen now are that the couple that paid for the baby, you know,

00:40:12.080 with their own genetic material, assuming that the genetic material was from the real mother and

00:40:16.120 the real father, and there wasn't a further mix up, mixing up the sperm and the egg, either that

00:40:21.420 couple, the Indian couple, gets the baby back, and the baby is just ripped away from the only parents 0.99

00:40:29.040 the baby's ever known, as, how old is the baby now? Six months? Eight months? Who knows how long

00:40:36.080 that process could take a year, a year and a half? Either they say, oh, sorry, baby, and they rip the 0.68

00:40:40.260 baby away from the only parents, specifically the only mommy the baby's ever known, and give it back

00:40:44.280 to this other couple, which is biologically the parents of the couple, of the baby, but nevertheless,

00:40:49.320 the baby doesn't really know those parents, in which case the baby is traumatized.

00:40:53.340 Or, they say, you know what, no harm, no foul, sorry that you ended up with our baby, and,

00:41:00.380 but you know what, you just keep that baby, we'll use one of our other eggs that we paid 1.00

00:41:03.320 for, or one of our other embryos that we paid for, and you can keep that baby, and we'll

00:41:06.540 just forget all about it. In which case, the baby is intentionally deprived of his natural

00:41:11.940 mother and father, in which case the baby is also traumatized. There is no scenario in

00:41:19.300 which the baby is not traumatized. Not one. Not one. I, I saw, I posted this on X, and someone

00:41:28.060 said, oh, you know, it was Richard Hanania, who's a very liberal, uh, pseudo-ethicist, I

00:41:34.680 guess, who has very, very confused ethics on, on everything. And he said, oh, you know, it's

00:41:39.480 a newborn baby. The implication being that newborn babies can't be traumatized, six-month-olds

00:41:47.440 can't be traumatized. Babies don't have an attachment to the people they think are their

00:41:52.720 mothers or fathers. Especially the mothers, they actually don't have as much of an attachment

00:41:56.500 to the fathers. Is that the idea? You can't, oh, you can't traumatize a baby. This is what,

00:42:00.300 this is that cope that you always hear. They say, oh, kids are, kids are resilient. Oh,

00:42:04.480 kids are resilient, which is merely an excuse to traumatize children and to not feel bad about

00:42:08.960 it. So that's, that's what happens here. I know that a lot of people have used IVF

00:42:16.600 because I know that people struggle with fertility. Some reasons that are just chosen, you know,

00:42:22.940 they put off having kids too late because they want to go to brunches. Some reasons that

00:42:26.180 are natural. There's a lot of weird stuff in the environment and it's a fallen world

00:42:28.560 and some people struggle with infertility. Sweet little Elise and I struggled with it for

00:42:32.320 two years. So I actually have firsthand experience of this. I know how very difficult, it worked

00:42:37.080 that for us in the end because of other treatments that were not IVF. But I, I understand, I personally

00:42:44.100 know how difficult this is, but I want to mince words here. This entire industry is satanic.

00:42:52.100 The whole thing. It's satanic. It's completely unacceptable. And I know the rejoinder that someone,

00:42:58.440 that probably people are already typing it out. They say, well, I wouldn't have my kid if not for IVF.

00:43:03.980 And so nothing that produces my kid could possibly be wrong or immoral or evil. I would just remind

00:43:12.140 you, rape produces children. Rape produces children. If you're a pro-lifer, you don't think

00:43:20.100 that kids should be murdered just because they were raped, just because their mother was raped.

00:43:24.460 You don't think that kids are less than other kids just because they were conceived in rape and other

00:43:31.420 kids were conceived in marital love. Nevertheless, you would never use the fact of the goodness of

00:43:39.840 the existence of that child to justify rape. So we are admitting off the front, right, right at the

00:43:47.220 beginning, that there are some ways to conceive children that are immoral and that should be

00:43:53.340 against the law. If you think that rape should be illegal, you are conceding immediately that there

00:43:59.920 are some ways of producing children that are immoral and that should be against the law.

00:44:06.100 And so I have to ask you, when it comes to the IVF industry,

00:44:08.460 do you think that it is good to create a situation in which kids can be traumatized?

00:44:18.260 No, that should probably be illegal. It is illegal to traumatize kids in a whole host of ways.

00:44:23.800 Okay. And you say, well, this is just, this happens as a rare case. First of all,

00:44:27.100 it happens more often than you think. And there's a lot more litigation about this than you might

00:44:29.940 think. But second of all, just consider the case of hiring surrogates. In the case of hiring a

00:44:35.680 surrogate, a child is being gestated in the womb of a woman who is the only mother that baby has ever 0.98

00:44:42.040 known. And the moment that baby is born, brought into this world, that baby is ripped away from

00:44:48.080 that mother, whose voice the baby knows, whose feel the baby knows, being ripped away. There is

00:44:53.940 an immediate trauma. There's an immediate injustice that's taken place. In best case scenario, just with

00:44:59.620 surrogacy. Even if the baby goes to the baby's natural biological parents.

00:45:05.680 Furthermore, we would all agree that it's wrong to sell people, right? We all think slavery is

00:45:11.080 wrong and immoral. The IVF industry exists to sell people, to go and custom order people,

00:45:20.060 and then to sell them. So it reduces the most fundamental human bonds and connections

00:45:26.540 to a near commercial transaction. Furthermore, in practice, IVF results in the killing of many,

00:45:34.960 many, many babies. Because many embryos are created that are then indefinitely frozen or

00:45:40.200 destroyed. Or frozen and then eventually destroyed. So IVF practically almost always entails killing lots

00:45:48.200 of children. When you tally it all up, it massively increases the abortion, right?

00:45:53.900 The whole industry is satanic. Not merely because accidents happen, though that's quite bad.

00:46:01.700 Not merely because it involves these injustices that some people try to push to the side. But

00:46:07.800 because it commoditizes human life and it reverses the order of rights in procreation. The only person

00:46:13.960 who can be said to have rights in procreation is the right of a baby to be the product of the specific 0.94

00:46:19.320 conjugal act of his natural mother and father. When you come down to it, philosophically,

00:46:26.040 anthropologically, that's the only person who can be said to have rights. You don't have a right to

00:46:30.860 buy a kid. You don't have a right to another person's kid. You don't have a right to kill your

00:46:34.440 kids. You don't have a right to order kids from scientists who are, in fact, merchants of human

00:46:43.100 beings. It is a hard saying. I know. People don't want to hear it. But it's a fact. And all who have

00:46:49.780 ears to hear, let them hear. Okay, before we go, story I have to get to. The septum rings are back.

00:46:56.640 The septum rings are back. This septum lady had this to say regarding the ICE protests.

00:47:02.720 If you want to argue with me, I'll argue. But I got to let you know something. I'm willing to burn my

00:47:06.640 whole life to the ground. I don't care. I got nothing to lose. I don't want to be here.

00:47:20.020 And I don't believe in heaven. So with somebody else. Okay, so I mentioned this because it's

00:47:26.300 always the septum rings. That's I did a deep investigation into this. You can find it on

00:47:29.400 my YouTube channel. I suspect this is a lot of the activism you're seeing, notably from the

00:47:37.460 middle-aged white ladies. I've been a little tough on the middle-aged white ladies this show with the 1.00

00:47:40.760 cadaver fat and all the rest of it. I suspect this is a lot of it. A crisis specifically among middle-aged

00:47:48.380 white ladies who are especially likely to take psychiatric drugs, to have all sorts of emotional 1.00

00:47:53.200 problems, which are usually related to spiritual problems. What did she say? She goes, I don't give an

00:47:57.860 F. I don't want to be here. I don't want to be here. And I don't give an F. And don't mess with me

00:48:04.620 because I got nothing to lose. I think that's true. This is the consequence of a lot of errors.

00:48:13.300 Women like that need husbands. Sorry, fellas. Who's going to step up to the task? I don't see a lot of 1.00

00:48:19.880 volunteers. I get it. But women like that need husbands. Men need wives, generally speaking, unless you 1.00

00:48:26.300 have a religious vocation or some special circumstance. Generally, women need husbands 1.00

00:48:29.800 and men need wives. That's how the world works. We're coupling creatures. We're inclined to live 0.89

00:48:33.400 in an ordered society and we're coupling creatures especially. When we don't have those kinds of

00:48:38.440 supports, real supports, not just commercial, transactional, you know, this is my partner and

00:48:44.300 we're just going to try to increase each other's private benefit as much as we can. And then when we

00:48:49.000 stop privately benefiting, we're going to split up and forget about contracts and forget about promises,

00:48:52.880 certainly forget about sacred vows. We're just individuals. The consequences is people go crazy

00:48:58.140 and they feel like they have no stake in the society. This is why marriage is the fundamental

00:49:01.380 building block of society. That's why when you try to screw around with marriage and redefine marriage, 1.00

00:49:05.640 you mess up all of society because that's the fundamental political unit. And people feel like

00:49:10.280 they don't have a stake. And when they don't have a stake, they start to screw up a lot of the rest of

00:49:14.080 society down to putting themselves in dangerous situations, blocking traffic, obstructing law

00:49:19.560 enforcement, daring cops to shoot them. Because at a deep level, a lot of these people have a death

00:49:24.440 wish. Because there's a lot of nihilism that comes about when you turn away all of the obligations that

00:49:29.840 you naturally have and you try to make yourself into a god, things stop making sense. And you become

00:49:37.240 very nihilistic, as she did. Okay, before we go, I know we're running late. There's one story I have to

00:49:41.080 get to, though. It's the Epstein thing. This came out of the files. This one's going around today.

00:49:45.600 Jeffrey Epstein was the wealth manager for Vladimir Putin and Robert Mugabe. For Mugabe, too. This is

00:49:55.800 according to a confidential source. So again, you don't know if the confidential sources are always

00:49:59.640 right. But according to the FBI, he managed money for Putin and Mugabe. We know from the emails that

00:50:04.300 Epstein was meeting with Putin. So the source said Epstein was President Vladimir Putin's wealth

00:50:13.480 manager and provided the same service for former Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe. He had dirt

00:50:18.220 on a lot of other people. He had this appointment with Putin in 2011. He did a lot of weird stuff.

00:50:27.800 He might have worked for Russian intelligence. He might have worked for both Russia and Israel.

00:50:33.420 We know from some of the other sources, he might have worked with American intelligence,

00:50:36.400 possibly MI6 intelligence. This gets back to my favorite comment of the day,

00:50:39.960 which as Michael, the conspiracy theorists were right. Yeah, they were much more right than they

00:50:47.420 think they are, actually. Everyone is just focusing on the weird sex stuff. Because Epstein had all these

00:50:53.120 young women and some underage girls, girls who were teenagers. Most of the women, I think,

00:51:00.080 were not teenagers. I think most of the women were just like women in their 20s for the less perverse, 0.98

00:51:06.860 I guess, rich, influential, famous people. But some of the girls were quite young, even more

00:51:13.340 compromised. Who was Epstein? That's the question. What a lot of people want, as I said yesterday,

00:51:20.580 is not transparency. And more than that, it's justice, but it's not even ultimately justice.

00:51:28.140 I think they want to know who this guy was. What did he mean for the political order?

00:51:31.700 Was he a spy? Or was he just a rich guy with lots of connections? And so what the question really

00:51:38.640 comes down to is, how much of the Epstein operation was for his personal benefit, his personal

00:51:45.220 enrichment? And how much of it was on behalf of some other entity or other state or other states?

00:51:52.860 That's the question. And so when people say Epstein was a spy, I think they have this mistaken idea

00:51:58.540 that it was Agent Epstein reporting for duty at Langley or Tel Aviv or Moscow or wherever.

00:52:07.440 The one thing I'm quite confident of is it wasn't Agent Epstein. Because that's not really how spy work

00:52:13.360 works. Sure, there are some people who are career spies in the Foreign Service and do that. But

00:52:20.220 there's this gray area. If you have spies, if you have James Bond over here and you have Joe Blow over

00:52:27.160 here, there is a gray area of people with a lot of money or a lot of connections or a lot of power

00:52:32.220 who aid intelligence agencies, one or multiple, but who are still doing stuff privately for their own

00:52:38.960 benefit. And that would seem to be what Epstein was. He obviously had a ton of intelligence connections.

00:52:45.280 Some people are just trying to focus on one or two or this. He seems to have had intelligence

00:52:48.640 connections with like everybody, including intelligence agencies that fight each other.

00:52:53.020 So the question then becomes, how much of this was just a shyster who was trying to

00:53:01.260 improve his status in the world? And how many of this was a spy, a secret agent? How patriotic was he?

00:53:10.480 Was this about his private gain or public benefit? And the only way to answer that with anything

00:53:18.000 approaching confidence is to see what happened in that jail cell. And I know the cameras didn't work,

00:53:25.040 but then they did work. But then a minute was missing from the cameras and we don't really see

00:53:30.920 what happened. And that's what we have to know. To start to answer that question, how much was he

00:53:36.700 working for himself? How much was he working for other people? And who specifically was he working

00:53:39.920 for the most? I guess he was working for everybody, but he was one of these guys who just makes the

00:53:45.040 wheels of government and business. And those two are actually pretty related kind of move. He was a

00:53:50.380 connector. He was a lubricant, pardon the evocative imagery, but that's kind of what he was. The only 0.63

00:53:56.400 way to answer that, the only way to start to answer that is to say, who killed him? Or was it himself?

00:54:04.260 And did someone allow him to kill himself if it was himself? And that's the question.

00:54:07.980 And notice, of all the juicy stuff that was coming out about Epstein, that's the one question

00:54:14.700 ain't nobody going toward. We're not getting any additional evidence on that.

00:54:21.060 Oh, look at this videotape. But oh, actually a minute's missing. And oh, never mind. Actually,

00:54:25.000 the cameras didn't work. And actually, they did work. And actually, we're not getting that one ever,

00:54:29.360 which totally vindicates my view, based on how the government releases information,

00:54:34.780 how governments release information. Either Epstein was who the mainstream is telling you he

00:54:40.660 was, just a private guy. It was all private. It was all his own weird stuff privately.

00:54:45.240 And that was it. And he killed himself. And that's that. In which case, we know everything

00:54:47.940 we're going to know about him. Or he was something more. He was obviously something more. In which case,

00:54:55.420 take it to the bank. You are not going to find out any more about it. In which case,

00:55:00.880 we already know everything we're going to know. People find that unsatisfying.

00:55:04.780 They want their podcast host to come out and say, we're this close. We're this close to

00:55:10.000 finding out the truth. We're hot on the case. Those people, either they're stupid or they're

00:55:14.480 lying to you. We're not this close. We have a rough idea of all the potentiality of all the

00:55:21.900 things Epstein could be. We are not this close to finding out what it was. A lot of that will hinge

00:55:28.400 on the circumstances of his death, which is the biggest black hole in the entire Epstein case.

00:55:56.820 Is that who you think I was alone with?

00:56:07.540 Merlin, I knew your father. I am yet convinced that he was not of this world.

00:56:15.120 All men know of the great Taliesin.

00:56:18.540 You are my father. The gods should war for my soul.

00:56:21.780 Princess Garrus, the saviour of our people.

00:56:28.420 I know what the bull god offered you.

00:56:30.960 I was offered the same.

00:56:32.940 And?

00:56:34.440 There is a new power at work in the world. I've seen it.

00:56:38.580 A god who sacrifices what he loves for us.

00:56:41.320 We are each given only one life, Singer.

00:56:44.060 No.

00:56:45.180 And we're given another.

00:56:45.960 I learnt of Yezu the Christ. 0.54

00:56:51.340 And I have become his follower.

00:56:53.220 He's waiting on a miracle.

00:56:54.760 And I think you can give him one.

00:56:56.800 Trust in Yezu. 0.87

00:56:58.120 He is the only hope for men like us.

00:57:01.060 Fate of Britain never rests in the hands of the great light.

00:57:04.060 Great light?

00:57:05.220 Great darkness?

00:57:06.640 Such things mattered to me then.

00:57:09.100 What matters to you now, mistress of lies?

00:57:12.720 You.

00:57:14.320 Nephew.

00:57:14.800 The sword of a high king.

00:57:21.640 How many lives must be lost before you accept the power you were born to wield?

00:57:29.400 Circling to the promises of a god who has abandoned you.

00:57:32.620 I cannot take up that sword again.

00:57:35.400 You know what you must do.

00:57:38.900 Great light, forgive me.

00:57:44.800 The time has come to be reborn.

00:57:50.860 The time has come to be reborn.
