The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1906 - Minnesota Libs Accidentally Invent Border Patrol

00:00:00.140 Liberals in Minnesota have had it with the ICE raids and Border Patrol.

00:00:04.640 So they have decided to take matters into their own hands

00:00:07.580 with a novel plan to keep the people that they don't want in their communities out.

00:00:14.120 We are literally creating a place that we know who's coming and going

00:00:18.960 in and out of our neighborhoods.

00:00:20.440 In the middle of the road at 32nd and Cedar Avenue,

00:00:23.500 a makeshift roadblock turned this intersection into a roundabout.

00:00:27.480 Cars slowed as drivers noticed, some honked, others asked questions

00:00:33.960 and one man brought food for the people standing watch.

00:00:37.780 Hi sir, thank you so much.

00:00:39.460 How did it make you feel just seeing a community checkpoint in your neighborhood?

00:00:43.520 Well, you know, it felt fine.

00:00:46.940 I don't have any trouble with folks helping out.

00:00:51.060 Wade Haynes has been standing at this corner twice a day for one reason,

00:00:55.520 to stand up against ICE activity and keep his community safe.

00:01:00.080 He chose this corner.

00:01:01.620 Others chose this intersection.

00:01:03.660 It's kind of inspiring.

00:01:04.980 I was like, wow, okay.

00:01:06.400 We've got folks out there who are kind of taking care of us, looking out for us.

00:01:09.500 That's good.

00:01:11.160 They've got people who are taking care of them, looking out for them.

00:01:15.440 Some might say policing their communities.

00:01:19.340 And the way that they're doing it is by erecting structures in the street, on the corners.

00:01:25.880 These are stopping points.

00:01:28.220 Some might call them borders, staffed by people who check to make sure that only the right people

00:01:34.720 get into the community and the people they don't want there stay out.

00:01:38.420 Many, including people on the right, have questioned President Trump's tactics in Minneapolis.

00:01:46.120 But you cannot argue with results.

00:01:49.280 And the results of the Minneapolis raids are that he got the anti-ICE liberals to invent border patrol.

00:01:57.360 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:01:58.040 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:58.880 Welcome back to the show.

00:02:20.380 More Epstein fallout.

00:02:22.360 Prince Andrew has been booted from Royal Lodge in the middle of the night into his exile.

00:02:27.720 This was ahead of schedule.

00:02:29.460 He was always probably going to lose his house.

00:02:30.900 But this is ahead of schedule because of the Epstein file drop.

00:02:35.060 A lot more claims being made by the Prime Minister of Poland about who Epstein was,

00:02:40.280 what he was doing, who he was working for.

00:02:42.000 We'll get to that in a little bit.

00:02:43.400 First, I want to tell you about Balance of Nature.

00:02:46.300 Go to balanceofnature.com.

00:02:48.760 Do you know what a phytonutrient is?

00:02:51.140 You probably don't.

00:02:52.200 And you know what?

00:02:53.260 I don't.

00:02:53.720 And that is exactly why our sponsor, Balance of Nature, makes getting them in your diet so simple.

00:02:59.880 Here is the thing that I have come to learn about phytonutrients.

00:03:03.860 They are naturally occurring plant nutrients in whole foods that give fruits and vegetables their color, taste, and smell.

00:03:10.080 And if you're eating something with vibrant color and real flavor, that's a pretty good sign that you are getting genuine phytonutrients.

00:03:18.140 Now, what Balance of Nature does is take all that produce and run it through this specialized vacuum-cold process that keeps everything stable.

00:03:25.360 Then powder it down without any binders, fillers, or flow agents.

00:03:29.240 Just the real stuff.

00:03:31.400 This stuff is great.

00:03:33.160 Strongly recommend it.

00:03:34.400 Mr. Davies swears by it.

00:03:35.880 I love Balance of Nature.

00:03:37.360 I love it.

00:03:38.700 When I am on the road, I don't always eat great, okay?

00:03:42.320 Balance of Nature gives you this little opportunity to get those nutrients that you're not getting otherwise.

00:03:47.200 Whether you've been on the fence for a long time or it's the first time you're hearing about them,

00:03:50.040 I recommend you go to balanceofnature.com, order the Whole Health System supplements as a preferred customer today.

00:03:56.440 I love this Minneapolis story.

00:03:58.220 That's so beautiful.

00:04:00.440 Trump actually trolled the Minneapolis liberals into inventing Border Patrol.

00:04:05.880 Into inventing the wall, checkpoints, cops, ice, ice, basically.

00:04:12.800 We gotta deport these ice agents. 1.00

00:04:14.320 We need our own ice to deport these ice agents. 0.99

00:04:16.680 This is what happens.

00:04:19.380 This is what always seems to happen when the hippies and the communists, who are similar, but the hippies are a little less,

00:04:26.700 they seem a little less threatening.

00:04:28.000 But utopians on the left of all stripes, when they dream up their perfect society, they say, you know, man, this society, it's no good, man.

00:04:39.080 We got markets.

00:04:40.300 We got people making money.

00:04:41.960 We got people here exploiting each other.

00:04:45.560 Got private property.

00:04:47.000 Got all that.

00:04:47.640 We don't want that, man.

00:04:49.000 What we're gonna do, we're gonna move to a commune, a farm in the middle of nowhere, man.

00:04:54.240 Imagine, it's gonna be beautiful.

00:04:55.940 Not like this city, not like this town we're living in here.

00:04:58.480 No, we're gonna all live on a farm and a commune.

00:05:01.480 And you know what?

00:05:02.500 Well, some people are gonna grow the food and some people, they're gonna bake the bread.

00:05:08.420 You know, some people, they're gonna watch the kids and some people, and it's gonna be amazing.

00:05:13.700 We're gonna have like what, like a diversity of labor? 0.80

00:05:16.700 We're gonna have what?

00:05:17.720 Like, and you know, man, the people who grow the food, they're gonna trade some of that for the services of the other.

00:05:22.720 Oh, you mean we're gonna have like a market economy?

00:05:24.660 Okay.

00:05:25.180 Yeah.

00:05:25.620 And you know, we're all gonna take care of each other, man.

00:05:27.500 You mean like you're gonna be the police?

00:05:28.840 You're gonna have a police force?

00:05:29.820 Yeah, man.

00:05:30.900 So you're just gonna, you're just gonna invent society as it always has been.

00:05:37.420 But you're gonna do it perfectly.

00:05:40.280 The problem with our society is we just didn't do it right.

00:05:43.900 Is that they invented Border Patrol.

00:05:47.140 It's so, so beautiful.

00:05:48.360 So I say take them at their word.

00:05:50.760 Yes, we do need people to keep our communities safe.

00:05:54.100 Yes, we do need checkpoints to keep the people we don't want out.

00:05:56.960 Yes, we do need to have a group of people that takes care of the community.

00:06:01.360 I think you're totally right.

00:06:04.160 Flood Minneapolis with even more ICE agents, Mr. President.

00:06:07.020 Thank you.

00:06:07.480 Speaking of Minnesota, Vice President J.D. Vance just sat down for an interview.

00:06:11.880 This, I guess, was with the Daily Mail, in which the VP was asked if he plans to apologize to the family of Alex Preddy,

00:06:22.020 the left-wing agitator who was tussling with cops who brought a gun to obstruct law enforcement who ended up getting shot.

00:06:28.200 And take notes.

00:06:29.760 Get out a pen.

00:06:30.460 Get out your pen.

00:06:31.640 Get out your little notepad.

00:06:33.020 Take notes at how the Vice President answers this question.

00:06:36.320 Should you plan to apologize to the family of Alex Preddy?

00:06:40.680 For what?

00:06:41.620 For, you know, labeling him in a sassion with ill intent.

00:06:44.640 Well, again, I just described to you what I said about Alex Preddy,

00:06:48.520 which is that he's a guy who showed up with ill intent to an ICE protest.

00:06:51.300 No, but if it is determined that his civil rights were violated by this FBI investigation, will you apologize?

00:06:57.580 So if this hypothetical leads to that hypothetical, leads to another hypothetical, will I do a thing?

00:07:03.400 And again, like I said, we're going to let the investigation.

00:07:06.900 Okay, beautiful.

00:07:07.940 Just even right from the top, right off the top there.

00:07:11.000 Are you going to apologize to Alex Preddy, to his family?

00:07:13.880 I guess not to him.

00:07:14.780 Are you going to apologize to his family?

00:07:16.860 And VP doesn't miss a beat.

00:07:18.900 This is exactly the right way to answer.

00:07:21.860 For what?

00:07:24.340 The question that he was asked, let me translate it into the generic form.

00:07:29.340 The generic form of the question is, Mr. Vice President, when you accept my bogus premise, will you do what I want?

00:07:37.820 When you accept my premise that has no basis in reality, the premise in this case being that J.D. Vance committed some injustice toward Alex Preddy by describing the situation as it was.

00:07:49.680 When you accept my bogus premise, will you do what I want you to do, namely apologize to Alex Preddy and say that your administration is terrible and say that we shouldn't have ICE deporting illegals and say that we shouldn't enforce our immigration laws?

00:08:01.120 Will you do that when you accept my bogus premise?

00:08:04.520 Will you apologize?

00:08:05.720 And the VP totally gets it.

00:08:07.820 He goes, for what?

00:08:10.120 So he puts the onus back on the guy who's making the crazy claims to try to justify his claims.

00:08:16.200 That's how you do it.

00:08:18.980 J.D. Vance is not the first vice president to do this.

00:08:21.540 There was a great example.

00:08:22.780 I couldn't find the clip of it yesterday.

00:08:24.120 I was looking for it.

00:08:25.220 There was a great example of Vice President Dick Cheney doing this many, many years ago.

00:08:30.080 I think it was to Larry King.

00:08:31.720 Larry King said, Mr. Vice President, do you intend to bomb Iran?

00:08:37.920 And his answer was perfect.

00:08:39.280 It was actually verbatim the same answer.

00:08:41.100 He says, for what?

00:08:42.220 There was no reason to think that they were going to bomb Iran, but that puts the onus back on the questioner.

00:08:49.480 Well, I don't know.

00:08:51.400 Have him describe it.

00:08:52.880 What is it?

00:08:53.840 What is it that we're really talking about here?

00:08:56.800 And he says, well, you should apologize because maybe his civil rights were violated.

00:09:03.400 You hear the journo then goes to a conditional hypothetical question, hypothetical statement.

00:09:09.860 He goes, well, if it is determined that his civil rights were violated, will you then apologize?

00:09:16.080 And J.D. has the perfect answer for that, which is, oh, if ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we'd all have a Merry Christmas.

00:09:22.340 That's basically what the VP says.

00:09:23.820 He says, if this hypothetical leads to that hypothetical leads to this hypothetical, if wishes were horses, beggars would ride, if turnips were watches, I would wear one by my side.

00:09:36.540 And if ifs and ands were pots and pans, there'd be no work for tinker's hands.

00:09:41.560 That's his answer.

00:09:42.720 That's the right answer.

00:09:44.900 For what?

00:09:46.200 You can't accept the premise.

00:09:48.320 Everything that the Trump, everything that the Trump administration has done in Minneapolis is justified.

00:09:57.240 The shooting of Renee Good justified.

00:09:59.520 It's not even close.

00:10:01.020 She hit the cop with her SUV.

00:10:04.820 The shooting of Alex Petty justified.

00:10:07.820 He showed up to obstruct law enforcement with a gun.

00:10:11.220 Even if there was some confusion on the scene, and I'm not saying that there was,

00:10:14.400 the cops were entirely justified every step of the way, given the information on the ground.

00:10:21.440 Justified, justified, justified.

00:10:23.020 And this is what most Americans voted for in November of 2024.

00:10:28.880 They voted for mass deportations.

00:10:31.400 They voted for ice raiding cities, especially sanctuary cities, which hold up big signs that say this is where all the illegals are. 0.77

00:10:39.780 This is what people voted for.

00:10:41.100 I don't want to hear any counter signaling the administration on this.

00:10:44.680 I don't want to hear the squishes say, well, you know, really, they should have done it a different way. 0.70

00:10:49.020 They should have done it a different way.

00:10:50.460 How?

00:10:51.460 Should they have had fewer law enforcement officers?

00:10:54.620 Well, no, not exactly.

00:10:55.980 Should they have not arrested the illegals? 1.00

00:10:57.920 Well, no, not exactly.

00:10:59.340 Should they have worn different color uniforms?

00:11:00.900 What do you want them to do?

00:11:01.580 Wear a pink uniform, then you'd be happy?

00:11:04.240 Enough with this cowardice.

00:11:05.520 It's so ridiculous.

00:11:07.060 You know how I know that all of the Trump administration's actions in Minneapolis are justified?

00:11:12.140 The anti-ice activists in Minneapolis are recreating ice.

00:11:18.100 They're recreating Border Patrol.

00:11:20.880 They're recreating checkpoints and cops.

00:11:23.160 That's how I know.

00:11:23.860 Everybody agrees whether they want to admit it or not.

00:11:27.540 So, very good answer from the vice president, which perhaps helps to explain why the president, Donald Trump, has just reaffirmed his endorsement, his quasi-endorsement for 2028.

00:11:39.400 We'll get to who and how he's endorsing.

00:11:42.100 First, though, I want to tell you about Brickhouse Nutrition.

00:11:44.720 Right now, go to takelean.com, enter code Knowles.

00:11:47.060 This episode is sponsored by Brickhouse Nutrition.

00:11:49.500 You've probably heard about those weight loss injections that everyone's been talking about.

00:11:53.160 President Trump calls it the fat shot.

00:11:55.240 Well, the results can be pretty incredible.

00:11:57.280 They work by helping regulate blood sugar and keeping your appetite in check.

00:12:00.520 But here's the thing.

00:12:01.380 Not everyone wants to deal with weekly injections, especially when you start hearing about some of the side effects that can come with them.

00:12:07.560 That's where Lean comes in.

00:12:09.420 It's a weight loss supplement developed by doctors, and people are seeing some really impressive results.

00:12:14.000 The ingredients in Lean are backed by research showing that they can help lower blood sugar, turn stored fat into energy, and reduce those constant cravings and hunger pangs that make dieting so hard.

00:12:23.720 One important thing to know, Lean is not just designed for someone who just wants to drop a couple pounds.

00:12:29.060 The doctors at Brickhouse Nutrition specifically formulated it for people who have been struggling to lose 10 pounds or more and are ready for something that actually works.

00:12:37.820 We have been hearing a lot of great stuff.

00:12:39.640 Multiple producers and employees at The Daily Wire have tried Lean.

00:12:42.000 They've already been so impressed with how effective Lean was in such a short period of time.

00:12:46.660 Let's get you started with 20% off and free rush shipping so that you can add Lean to your healthy diet and exercise plan.

00:12:53.180 Visit TakeLean.com.

00:12:55.100 Enter Knowles, K-N-A-W-L-E-S, for your discount.

00:12:57.740 That is promo code Knowles, K-N-A-W-L-E-S, at TakeLean.com.

00:13:02.520 Okay, folks.

00:13:04.120 Mentioned it the last couple days.

00:13:05.400 I'm really glad that everyone has, well, not everyone, but a lot of people have had the chance to order.

00:13:10.800 My best candle of the year, the Lenten candle, the Penitential Smells and Bells, makes your home smell like a 12th century monastery.

00:13:19.860 It did sell out in less than 24 hours.

00:13:22.040 Then the poor Candle Club team had to be on the phone trying to secure vessels.

00:13:25.920 They were able to secure some more materials.

00:13:29.140 This is the final batch.

00:13:30.140 The one caveat here, the original order that sold out immediately, it had a slightly colored glass.

00:13:37.340 This new order, I think it has clear glass.

00:13:39.700 Otherwise, that's it.

00:13:40.380 It's the same candle, same smell.

00:13:41.540 It's going to make your home smell like a scholastic cathedral, which is great. 1.00

00:13:45.920 This is the last batch.

00:13:47.080 When these resources are gone, when these vessels and the waxes and all that are gone, they're gone.

00:13:53.320 If you want them, order it now.

00:13:55.940 I think as of airtime, as of three minutes before airtime, we still have some candles.

00:14:01.120 I don't know if we're still going to have candles by the time you listen to this, if you're listening on Spotify or YouTube or whatever.

00:14:06.200 But go try to get it.

00:14:07.800 If you're going to want two, if you're going to want three or four, order them all right now.

00:14:12.040 You can give them always Easter gifts.

00:14:13.360 If you don't want them, probably you're just going to burn them in your house.

00:14:15.940 Get them now because there's not going to be another batch.

00:14:20.640 We've run out of stuff.

00:14:22.040 And then I don't want to get your angry emails.

00:14:24.020 Go to thecandleclub.com.

00:14:25.320 Get your Smells and Bells candle right now.

00:14:28.240 Okay.

00:14:28.900 President Trump has just reaffirmed his endorsement, his quasi-endorsement for 2028.

00:14:37.380 Who's he going with?

00:14:38.380 Is he going with J.D.?

00:14:39.720 Is he going with Marco?

00:14:42.040 Yes.

00:14:43.980 Look, J.D. is fantastic and Marco is fantastic.

00:14:47.420 How are they different?

00:14:48.940 And I do think this, it's a great question.

00:14:51.520 I think that's your most interesting question.

00:14:53.960 I would say one is slightly more diplomatic than the other.

00:14:57.840 I think they're both of very high intelligence.

00:15:00.200 I mean, they will do shows.

00:15:02.700 They will do Joe Rogan as opposed to the opponent not doing it because they couldn't handle it.

00:15:07.800 They will be able to do whatever they have to do.

00:15:12.200 I think there's a difference in style.

00:15:15.140 You can see the style yourself.

00:15:16.840 But they're both very capable.

00:15:18.400 I do think this, the combination of J.D. and Marco would be very hard to be beaten, I think.

00:15:26.400 But you never know in politics, right?

00:15:28.160 They say, in the age of Trump, you never know.

00:15:31.720 I love that point at the end.

00:15:32.900 In the age of Trump, past is not precedent necessarily, okay?

00:15:37.640 The models no longer exactly hold.

00:15:39.800 But what he's doing here is reaffirming and a quasi-endorsement.

00:15:43.800 Again, he's not saying, I am fully committed to a J.D. Rubio ticket for 2028.

00:15:50.660 He never seems to fully commit to any of those things.

00:15:54.400 He's loathe to do that in politics.

00:15:56.800 However, this is basically that.

00:15:59.240 He's saying, yeah, I'm backing J.D. for president and Rubio for vice president.

00:16:03.320 And he's done that before.

00:16:04.560 He did that for the first time.

00:16:05.960 I think it was on Air Force One.

00:16:07.520 I think this is another third or fourth time he's mentioned this.

00:16:10.760 This is going to be very frustrating to some of the more factional activists in the right,

00:16:16.180 which is always in a state of civil war, because some of the more factional type of people,

00:16:21.120 and I've noticed this especially with the wing that was formerly never Trump,

00:16:25.620 and then they opposed Trump in the primaries the next time,

00:16:28.520 and then now they seem to not like J.D.

00:16:31.600 And I guess that makes sense because J.D. is the heir to MAGA,

00:16:36.900 and some of these guys were never all that into MAGA,

00:16:39.160 and they're always looking for an alternative.

00:16:41.320 So that makes sense.

00:16:42.280 There's always going to be a little division, especially on the right.

00:16:44.060 In many ways, that's one of the strengths of the American right.

00:16:46.960 So I don't even think that's necessarily a bad thing.

00:16:49.860 We talked about this a little bit in the member block yesterday,

00:16:53.020 another reason to subscribe to Daily Wire.

00:16:55.260 You have to be a Daily Wire member to become a member of the creme de la creme.

00:16:57.980 We were doing this on Work From Home Wednesday,

00:16:59.400 where we read an essay or a poem or a book or something to get a little deeper into a topic.

00:17:04.880 The thing that makes one a conservative,

00:17:09.320 according to the British philosopher Michael Oakeshott,

00:17:12.000 we were reading the essay on being conservative,

00:17:14.060 the thing that makes one a conservative is different than what makes someone a liberal.

00:17:19.360 Liberalism is a creed.

00:17:21.520 Liberalism unites around shared specific policies

00:17:25.900 and a shared ideological creedal understanding of politics.

00:17:34.080 That's not really the case for conservatives.

00:17:37.000 Conservatives have all sorts of different views on policies.

00:17:38.900 You'll have hardcore conservatives who say,

00:17:40.680 we need to go bomb a lot of countries around the world and be a great big empire.

00:17:43.900 You'll hear people who also can sincerely claim to be conservative,

00:17:47.220 who say they never want to be involved in another war again.

00:17:50.180 You have people who say they're conservative, who hate protective tariffs.

00:17:55.020 You have people who claim to be conservative, who say that conservatives need tariffs.

00:17:59.620 They disagree on all sorts of policies.

00:18:02.380 So then, is there anything that unites them?

00:18:04.260 Yes.

00:18:05.400 What unites conservatives is a disposition to prefer the real to the imagined,

00:18:13.180 the limited to the unbounded, the practical to the utopian,

00:18:18.160 present laughter to utopian bliss, in the words of Michael Oakeshott.

00:18:22.540 And so, anyway, that's a long digression to say,

00:18:26.660 yeah, there's always going to be this rancor on the right.

00:18:28.880 There's always going to be some divisions.

00:18:30.200 There's going to be a variety.

00:18:31.060 It's the spice of life.

00:18:32.020 And what Trump points out here is,

00:18:34.540 you got two guys in J.D. and Rubio who really complement each other very well.

00:18:42.600 He says, you know, look, one of them is a little more diplomatic than the other.

00:18:46.640 No, yeah, it's the nation's top diplomat, Marco Rubio,

00:18:49.000 is in many ways more diplomatic than J.D. Isn't that great?

00:18:53.160 You got Rubio who, you know, speaks in a gentle way to just about everybody.

00:18:59.900 And then you got J.D. who's a little blunter, who's a little tougher.

00:19:04.840 Well, good, I want both of those things.

00:19:07.740 Both of them are highly intelligent, as Trump points out.

00:19:10.200 Both of them can hang, unlike Kamala Harris and Tim Walz,

00:19:12.720 who can't speak to themselves in the mirror.

00:19:14.760 However, Rubio and J.D. can easily talk to Rogan for three hours,

00:19:19.120 can really talk to anybody, and can do so intelligently.

00:19:22.840 Even physically, they kind of complement each other.

00:19:26.000 You know, Trump famously made fun of Marco Rubio

00:19:28.220 for not being as tall as Trump and some of the other guys.

00:19:31.100 And J.D. is very, very tall.

00:19:32.660 But even there, there's a nice balance.

00:19:37.240 They even look kind of good together.

00:19:39.200 And, crucially, it unites these factions.

00:19:43.960 The people who are a little bit more, I don't know, would you say,

00:19:47.260 I don't mean this as a pejorative, it's just part of the Republican coalition.

00:19:50.680 The people who are a little bit more moderate,

00:19:52.160 the people who are a little bit more establishment,

00:19:54.300 the people who are a little more opposed to Trump,

00:19:58.200 I think Rubio makes them feel more comfortable.

00:20:02.120 And the people who are a little bit more populist,

00:20:05.140 the people who are a little bit more inclined

00:20:06.940 into the new political coalition that Trump helped build,

00:20:09.520 which is what propelled the Republicans to victory,

00:20:11.440 I think they kind of feel a little more comfortable with J.D.

00:20:14.740 I think J.D. seems a little bit more,

00:20:17.240 I don't know, avant-garde or something in that way.

00:20:20.660 Wouldn't it be great if you can bring those guys together?

00:20:23.960 You know, in many ways,

00:20:25.100 it just seems like a better version of Reagan-Bush.

00:20:27.540 Reagan-Bush, which existed to pull together

00:20:29.640 two big factions of the Republican Party.

00:20:31.520 The more populist, avant-garde,

00:20:33.840 kind of, you know, hardcore wing,

00:20:35.060 and the more establishment, you know,

00:20:38.440 clubbable country club type.

00:20:39.840 You bring them both together.

00:20:41.060 Well, I think Trump sees something here that's quite real.

00:20:45.220 And more to the point,

00:20:47.340 what are the alternatives in 2028?

00:20:50.420 Who seriously could,

00:20:52.440 at the end of this decade-long era of Trump,

00:20:56.480 who seriously is going to challenge,

00:21:00.500 really, it's Vance and Rubio at this point.

00:21:03.700 Okay, all the better if we could already unite,

00:21:07.580 have some momentum.

00:21:08.480 I love it.

00:21:09.300 And Rubio's backed this up himself.

00:21:11.420 Vance has said very nice things about Rubio.

00:21:13.240 Rubio has endorsed Vance, basically.

00:21:16.140 Great, love it.

00:21:17.360 I know it's very odd to have unity on the right,

00:21:19.180 but I'll take it.

00:21:20.340 Now, that ticket, I hope, is going places.

00:21:23.500 Speaking of going places,

00:21:24.540 the MTA has gone viral

00:21:28.360 for reserving a seat on its buses in New York

00:21:32.600 for Rosa Parks.

00:21:35.120 There's a kind of an irony to this, isn't there?

00:21:37.700 Because the people who take the buses in New York

00:21:40.980 are disproportionately black.

00:21:43.220 White people who take public transit in New York,

00:21:45.000 they tend to take the subway.

00:21:45.920 The people who take the buses

00:21:46.840 tend to be disproportionately black.

00:21:48.520 And the first seat at the very front of the bus,

00:21:51.000 right now, if a black person goes to sit there, 0.96

00:21:52.560 the bus driver's going to say,

00:21:53.320 hey, hey, get to the back. 0.62

00:21:54.760 You can't sit there.

00:21:55.960 That's reserved for this poster board

00:21:59.220 or the ghost of Rosa Parks.

00:22:01.120 We'll get to that

00:22:01.600 and what that means in a moment.

00:22:03.060 First, I want to tell you about Policy Genius.

00:22:05.040 Go to policygenius.com slash Knowles.

00:22:09.400 You're a diligent person.

00:22:11.040 If you're listening to this show right now,

00:22:12.380 you're probably an intelligent,

00:22:14.060 good-looking, diligent person,

00:22:15.620 but it's something people put off.

00:22:17.780 And they put it off

00:22:18.700 because your life changes slowly

00:22:20.320 and you get married and you have a kid

00:22:21.900 and you make a little money

00:22:22.680 and you do this and that.

00:22:23.760 But at a certain point,

00:22:26.040 you have to get life insurance.

00:22:28.960 You have to take care of your family.

00:22:31.380 You have to do the responsible thing

00:22:32.940 that you want to put off

00:22:33.660 because nobody wants to think about death.

00:22:35.640 But it's going to happen, baby.

00:22:37.780 No one here gets out alive.

00:22:39.360 I mean, ultimately,

00:22:40.420 you could have eternal life,

00:22:41.540 which is a separate discussion

00:22:43.120 that we talk about a lot.

00:22:44.960 In the terrestrial realm right now,

00:22:48.320 you need to protect your family

00:22:49.620 and you've got to do it

00:22:50.120 with life insurance.

00:22:50.800 Policy Genius makes it so easy.

00:22:52.880 You don't jump around websites.

00:23:05.860 Do the responsible thing.

00:23:06.760 Plan the year

00:23:07.640 knowing that you have protected

00:23:09.520 what you have built

00:23:10.740 with Policy Genius.

00:23:11.560 You can see if you can find

00:23:12.620 20-year life insurance policies

00:23:25.320 Folks, tonight we are filming

00:23:26.520 not one,

00:23:27.800 but two episodes of Bar Fight

00:23:28.980 at Redneck Riviera in Nashville.

00:23:30.320 Doors open at 5.30

00:23:31.180 for our first show

00:23:32.280 where I face off against

00:23:33.280 Mike Nellis and Michael DeFeo.

00:23:35.680 Doors open at 7.30

00:23:36.840 for our second show

00:23:37.660 where I face off against

00:23:38.380 the viral Gen Z TikTokers 1.00

00:23:39.760 Chris Mowry

00:23:40.320 and Harry Sisson.

00:23:42.540 If you are in the area,

00:23:43.680 make sure to RSVP

00:23:45.060 at the link in the description.

00:23:47.080 See you there.

00:23:50.080 The MTA holding a chair

00:23:52.160 for Rosa Parks.

00:23:54.740 Rosa Parks who died

00:23:55.880 some time ago.

00:23:57.940 Do we have a chair?

00:23:58.400 Do we have the...

00:23:58.900 Where's the picture?

00:23:59.600 Where'd my picture go?

00:24:00.600 They took my picture away

00:24:01.480 of the MTA chair for Rosa Parks.

00:24:03.080 There we go.

00:24:03.760 There it is.

00:24:05.080 In honor of Rosa Parks

00:24:06.380 and National Transit Equity Day,

00:24:09.820 please consider keeping

00:24:10.860 this seat open.

00:24:12.280 We already mentioned

00:24:12.940 the practical irony of this.

00:24:15.060 It's just now

00:24:16.260 the buses in New York

00:24:17.940 are not exclusively

00:24:18.940 but disproportionately

00:24:19.680 for black people

00:24:20.500 and now a black person

00:24:22.220 will not be able to sit

00:24:22.960 at the front of the bus

00:24:23.660 and they'll have to go

00:24:24.960 to the back.

00:24:25.860 That's pretty funny.

00:24:27.240 But at a deeper level,

00:24:28.820 what does this mean

00:24:31.660 for New Yorkers,

00:24:34.340 for what liberals believe?

00:24:36.840 This is a religious ritual.

00:24:38.620 This is a religious ritual 0.94

00:24:40.000 that has been seen before.

00:24:42.460 If you've ever been to

00:24:43.780 or heard about a Passover Seder,

00:24:45.900 what do the Jews do?

00:24:47.380 The Jews hold a chair for Elijah 0.99

00:24:50.620 just in case Elijah wants to show up.

00:24:54.280 Christians,

00:24:55.060 we certainly are awaiting

00:24:56.300 the return of someone.

00:24:57.440 Namely, we're awaiting

00:24:58.480 the return of our Lord

00:24:59.640 in the second coming.

00:25:02.280 And liberals hold a seat on a bus

00:25:05.180 for the ghost of Rosa Parks.

00:25:06.880 Rosa Parks who,

00:25:10.420 despite her virtues, 0.98

00:25:11.800 of slightly less stature

00:25:14.040 than the prophet Elijah 0.73

00:25:15.820 or our Lord who is God,

00:25:19.020 Jesus Christ.

00:25:21.760 No surprise here.

00:25:23.660 The liberals take

00:25:24.880 the traditional liturgical calendar

00:25:27.080 where throughout the year

00:25:28.380 we have feasts,

00:25:29.000 we celebrate saints.

00:25:29.880 They get rid of that

00:25:30.700 and they replace it

00:25:31.400 with secular saints.

00:25:32.200 So we just recently celebrated

00:25:33.440 the sacred feast,

00:25:34.620 the high solemnity

00:25:36.360 of Martin Luther King,

00:25:38.280 peace be upon him.

00:25:40.520 The legend of these people

00:25:42.260 has relatively little to do

00:25:45.320 with who they actually were.

00:25:46.420 John Doyle over at the Blaze

00:25:47.840 recently had a pretty good

00:25:49.280 rundown of Rosa Parks

00:25:51.420 and the whole stunt.

00:25:52.080 Because the stunt,

00:25:53.980 not even taking away

00:25:54.920 anything from Rosa Parks,

00:25:56.260 the stunt was a stunt.

00:25:57.760 It was organized by activists.

00:26:00.660 And so it's not like

00:26:01.420 she just, you know,

00:26:02.000 her legs were tired that day

00:26:03.100 or she just walked onto the bus

00:26:04.980 and said, I'm, you know,

00:26:06.400 I've had it with this indignity

00:26:07.740 as the myth that cropped up

00:26:09.440 around her would suggest.

00:26:10.760 No, no, no.

00:26:11.120 This was planned.

00:26:11.860 This was organized.

00:26:12.520 There were multiple attempts

00:26:13.360 at it actually.

00:26:14.300 And finally she wound up

00:26:15.380 getting arrested.

00:26:17.340 And then Rosa Parks

00:26:18.320 went on to march

00:26:20.280 with Louis Farrakhan,

00:26:22.300 Nation of Islam,

00:26:23.540 at the Million Man March.

00:26:25.140 And she seemed to have

00:26:26.800 some associations

00:26:27.460 with communists.

00:26:28.380 And anyway,

00:26:28.800 she was a radical left activist,

00:26:30.080 no question about it.

00:26:31.200 But the point is

00:26:32.220 just deeper than that.

00:26:34.520 I assume most people

00:26:36.040 these days think

00:26:36.720 that black people

00:26:37.940 should be able to sit

00:26:38.540 wherever they want on a bus,

00:26:39.780 including in the chair

00:26:40.740 reserved by the poster board

00:26:41.900 of Rosa Parks.

00:26:43.240 But is this really

00:26:45.440 going to be our religion?

00:26:47.460 This isn't my religion.

00:26:49.520 Liberalism is not my religion.

00:26:52.100 I don't,

00:26:52.500 whatever virtues and vices

00:26:53.840 Martin Luther King had

00:26:55.020 or Rosa Parks had 0.82

00:26:56.120 or any of these guys,

00:26:58.180 any of the secular saints,

00:27:00.700 that's not my religion.

00:27:03.020 These are not really

00:27:03.500 the people I venerate.

00:27:05.100 Certainly don't worship them

00:27:06.180 as the Libs seem to do.

00:27:10.080 We got to get down

00:27:11.020 to first things.

00:27:12.420 Liberalism as a derivation of

00:27:15.080 and perversion of Christianity

00:27:16.900 just creates its own

00:27:18.660 replacement kind of Christianity.

00:27:19.880 But it's just going to be weaker.

00:27:21.140 That's not enough

00:27:21.660 to hold up civilization.

00:27:23.220 It's not enough even

00:27:24.140 to maintain order

00:27:24.800 on a city bus.

00:27:25.740 Okay.

00:27:27.340 Speaking of transportation,

00:27:28.580 Prince Andrew was just

00:27:30.480 ferried out of Royal Lodge

00:27:32.960 in the middle of the night.

00:27:34.660 He was taken out of Royal Lodge,

00:27:36.980 which is where he had been living

00:27:39.460 because of the Epstein scandal.

00:27:41.400 You know,

00:27:41.560 the guy ended up getting fired

00:27:43.020 by his own mother.

00:27:44.220 So he lost his royal duties.

00:27:46.200 He's no longer a working royal,

00:27:48.040 but, you know,

00:27:49.220 he doesn't exactly

00:27:50.120 have transferable skills.

00:27:51.820 So they've been trying to figure out

00:27:53.040 what to do with him.

00:27:54.480 Now in this latest Epstein batch, 0.93

00:27:56.260 it's come out

00:27:57.720 that there's a picture

00:27:58.300 of him crouching

00:27:59.320 over some young woman,

00:28:02.100 I think,

00:28:02.740 maybe a teenage girl.

00:28:04.300 She might be a woman 0.98

00:28:05.040 in her 20s or 30s

00:28:06.180 or something.

00:28:06.780 Anyway,

00:28:07.620 he's crouching over her

00:28:08.860 at a dinner.

00:28:10.060 It's weird.

00:28:11.280 He doesn't look the most sober

00:28:12.460 in that picture.

00:28:13.600 It's not good.

00:28:16.320 So he loses his status.

00:28:18.020 He's a laughing stock.

00:28:19.400 He loses everything,

00:28:22.380 practically,

00:28:22.940 in the world.

00:28:24.460 There were other scandals.

00:28:25.400 There were always other scandals,

00:28:26.700 but there are other scandals

00:28:27.500 going around being talked about

00:28:28.720 involving impropriety,

00:28:30.980 affairs,

00:28:32.780 morally unpleasant behavior.

00:28:36.340 I'd mention all of this.

00:28:38.160 I won't get into

00:28:39.240 any of those specifics,

00:28:40.540 but Prince Andrew,

00:28:41.320 that's pretty much global news.

00:28:44.220 I mention all of this,

00:28:46.080 not because it's salacious,

00:28:47.540 not because I even want

00:28:49.340 to delve all that much

00:28:50.320 into Andrew's relationship

00:28:52.140 with Epstein.

00:28:52.700 We'll get to Epstein

00:28:53.300 in just a moment.

00:28:55.400 I mention this because

00:28:56.880 it is a reminder

00:28:58.880 that virtue and sanctity

00:29:01.420 are practical concerns.

00:29:05.500 This is the real talk.

00:29:07.760 This is rubber meets the road

00:29:10.460 kind of talk,

00:29:11.200 all right?

00:29:12.920 We tend to think

00:29:14.400 in modernity

00:29:15.300 that virtue and sanctity,

00:29:18.380 look,

00:29:18.720 they're probably imaginary.

00:29:19.780 They probably don't even exist.

00:29:21.900 But if they do exist,

00:29:23.560 you know,

00:29:23.900 those are more abstract concerns.

00:29:26.840 We got to talk about

00:29:28.000 what's practical.

00:29:29.060 You know what's practical?

00:29:30.960 You hear this on the left,

00:29:31.980 you hear this on the right,

00:29:33.020 even from some of the

00:29:33.760 hustler kind of guys

00:29:34.420 on the right.

00:29:35.060 You know what's practical?

00:29:36.620 Making money

00:29:37.380 and sleeping with chicks 1.00

00:29:39.560 and getting yours

00:29:41.680 and looking out for number one

00:29:43.480 and just doing

00:29:45.440 whatever you want to do.

00:29:46.340 That's what's practical, man.

00:29:47.960 You know,

00:29:48.220 isn't that practical?

00:29:49.560 This other stuff

00:29:50.460 is really abstract.

00:29:51.420 No, no, no.

00:29:53.020 Au contraire,

00:29:53.960 mes frères.

00:29:56.740 Virtue and sanctity

00:29:57.900 are eminently practical matters.

00:30:00.360 Had Prince Andrew

00:30:01.240 not been palling around

00:30:02.840 with Jeffrey Epstein,

00:30:04.000 his life

00:30:04.640 in every practical way

00:30:06.440 would be much better today.

00:30:08.980 He would still have his house.

00:30:11.200 He would still

00:30:12.420 have his job.

00:30:14.280 He would not have been

00:30:15.260 disowned by his family.

00:30:18.520 Perhaps he would still

00:30:19.560 have his marriage intact.

00:30:23.600 He would be able

00:30:25.040 to make more money,

00:30:25.840 for goodness sakes.

00:30:27.200 His life practically

00:30:28.620 would be better

00:30:30.360 in every way.

00:30:31.780 This is not to say

00:30:33.140 that virtue and sanctity

00:30:35.420 will, you know,

00:30:36.600 go out and make you rich

00:30:37.600 and get you a private jet

00:30:38.400 or something like that.

00:30:39.040 No, no, no.

00:30:39.760 You know,

00:30:40.020 you will be hated.

00:30:41.580 If you really are pursuing

00:30:43.600 a path of sanctity,

00:30:44.760 you will face

00:30:45.480 serious adversity.

00:30:48.300 Our Lord tells us,

00:30:49.340 you know,

00:30:49.420 they're going to hate you

00:30:49.980 for my sake,

00:30:50.540 but don't worry,

00:30:51.000 they hated me first.

00:30:53.680 However,

00:30:54.240 at a real practical level,

00:30:56.300 I'm speaking even

00:30:57.400 below the level

00:30:58.540 of revealed religion.

00:30:59.880 I'm speaking even just

00:31:01.000 of like the natural law

00:31:02.260 and virtue,

00:31:03.140 morality,

00:31:03.900 the moral order.

00:31:05.340 These are practical things.

00:31:07.600 When you do bad stuff,

00:31:09.860 and sex stuff

00:31:11.260 is the most obvious

00:31:12.560 because it's so central

00:31:14.720 to what it means

00:31:15.300 to be a human,

00:31:16.000 it's such a powerful appetite.

00:31:18.860 But it's even beyond

00:31:20.160 the sex stuff.

00:31:21.300 It can be,

00:31:22.340 you know,

00:31:22.700 the pursuit of money,

00:31:23.760 it can be vainglory,

00:31:24.760 pride,

00:31:26.240 envy,

00:31:26.700 all the rest.

00:31:27.740 When you do bad stuff,

00:31:29.600 it will practically

00:31:31.720 make your life

00:31:32.480 a lot worse.

00:31:32.980 do not listen

00:31:35.360 to the materialists

00:31:36.540 and the hustlers

00:31:39.060 and the cynics.

00:31:40.580 And they,

00:31:41.380 not only are they wrong

00:31:42.760 from the eternal perspective,

00:31:44.700 they're even wrong

00:31:45.840 from the temporal perspective.

00:31:48.820 Beware,

00:31:49.420 beware,

00:31:49.980 use Prince Andrew

00:31:50.880 and others

00:31:51.520 as a warning,

00:31:53.180 as a real lesson.

00:31:54.140 Okay,

00:31:54.460 now I want to get

00:31:55.360 into Epstein.

00:31:56.640 Now I want to talk about

00:31:58.060 the latest

00:31:59.420 from Epstein

00:32:00.000 because the Polish

00:32:00.980 Prime Minister

00:32:01.400 is making a real claim

00:32:02.360 about Epstein

00:32:02.900 that has raised

00:32:04.920 some eyebrows.

00:32:06.100 I also want to get

00:32:06.900 into the Catholic school

00:32:07.640 that was just vandalized

00:32:08.460 in SoCal

00:32:08.900 that basically

00:32:09.460 no one's talking about.

00:32:10.620 All right,

00:32:11.140 folks,

00:32:11.380 I need you to do me a favor.

00:32:12.480 Right now,

00:33:22.320 My favorite comment

00:33:23.660 of the day yesterday,

00:33:24.520 you know what it was?

00:33:26.260 I don't have one.

00:33:27.860 You know why?

00:33:28.580 Because in the morning,

00:33:29.820 the producers send me

00:33:31.320 the comments

00:33:32.640 that they picked,

00:33:33.640 and they'll pick

00:33:34.280 five or seven comments

00:33:35.860 from all the many,

00:33:37.680 many comments

00:33:38.080 on YouTube

00:33:38.440 the day before.

00:33:39.340 And I looked at them today,

00:33:40.340 and I said,

00:33:40.660 these comments were terrible.

00:33:42.280 Just terrible.

00:33:42.880 They just,

00:33:43.200 not terrible.

00:33:43.740 They weren't like

00:33:44.480 offensive or wicked or evil.

00:33:47.020 They just were weak.

00:33:49.080 And so now I'm torn.

00:33:51.300 Are they weak

00:33:52.260 because of the producers?

00:33:54.120 Did they just lazily

00:33:55.120 pick random comments

00:33:56.340 that weren't that good?

00:33:57.620 Or were they weak

00:33:58.540 because of you?

00:34:00.900 You out on YouTube.

00:34:02.240 You out there.

00:34:02.640 I don't know.

00:34:03.220 I don't want to point fingers yet.

00:34:05.720 Whose fault was it?

00:34:06.980 Whatever it was,

00:34:07.820 the comments were not entertaining.

00:34:09.080 I did not like them.

00:34:09.960 Okay.

00:34:10.600 The Polish prime minister

00:34:12.040 has just come out

00:34:12.780 and allege that

00:34:14.460 Jeffrey Epstein

00:34:15.180 was probably a Russian spy.

00:34:17.800 A Russian spy.

00:34:20.120 We've heard he was Mossad.

00:34:21.820 We've heard he was CIA.

00:34:23.160 We've heard he was MI6.

00:34:24.480 The Polish prime minister

00:34:25.560 comes out and says,

00:34:26.660 no, no, no.

00:34:28.720 I think he was a Russian spy.

00:34:31.400 As Donald Tusk

00:34:32.280 told a government meeting

00:34:33.740 he was going to establish

00:34:34.400 a team to look into

00:34:35.260 the numerous mentions

00:34:36.240 of Putin

00:34:36.780 and other indications

00:34:38.060 of Russian links.

00:34:38.740 He says,

00:34:39.160 I don't need to tell you

00:34:41.620 how serious

00:34:42.240 the increasingly likely

00:34:43.200 possibility that Russian

00:34:44.180 intelligence services

00:34:44.960 co-organize this operation

00:34:46.280 is for the security

00:34:47.280 of the Polish state.

00:34:48.220 This can only mean

00:34:49.480 that they also possess

00:34:50.560 compromising materials

00:34:51.560 against many leaders

00:34:52.380 still active today.

00:34:53.320 Okay.

00:34:53.440 So he says that it's the Russians.

00:34:55.900 Now, the Poles 1.00

00:34:57.840 really hate the Russians 0.99

00:34:58.980 for good reason.

00:35:00.600 If I were Polish,

00:35:01.200 I would really hate

00:35:01.800 the Russians too.

00:35:02.600 Okay.

00:35:03.560 So he says,

00:35:04.980 well, I think it was the Russians.

00:35:05.940 And you know what?

00:35:06.600 There is some evidence

00:35:07.420 from the files

00:35:08.220 linking Epstein to Russia.

00:35:11.360 He may have been

00:35:12.260 Putin's money manager.

00:35:13.360 He at least would meet

00:35:14.060 with Putin.

00:35:15.920 Was he a Russian spy?

00:35:17.020 Now, there's other information

00:35:18.260 in the files

00:35:21.400 linking Epstein to Israel.

00:35:24.040 So this is according

00:35:25.080 to a confidential human source.

00:35:27.520 So here, you know,

00:35:28.720 maybe a little less authority

00:35:29.720 than the prime minister

00:35:30.420 of Poland.

00:35:31.180 This is just some anonymous source.

00:35:32.980 Could be true.

00:35:34.220 Could be false.

00:35:35.400 Remembered Alan Dershowitz,

00:35:37.360 the Harvard professor

00:35:38.340 who was the lawyer for Epstein,

00:35:41.020 telling Alex Acosta,

00:35:42.520 who was the U.S. attorney

00:35:43.680 who was prosecuting Epstein

00:35:45.540 in Florida

00:35:46.140 and who later was

00:35:47.380 Labor Secretary under Trump,

00:35:50.620 telling him that Epstein

00:35:51.720 belonged to both U.S.

00:35:53.700 and Allied Intelligence Services.

00:35:56.240 What are Allied

00:35:56.800 Intelligence Services?

00:35:58.100 Well, that's MI6 in the U.K.

00:36:00.420 That's Mossad.

00:36:01.240 That's others.

00:36:03.240 Alan Dershowitz

00:36:03.920 was a Harvard law professor

00:36:04.940 who the document says,

00:36:06.400 quote,

00:36:06.480 influenced many students

00:36:07.340 from wealthy families,

00:36:08.140 including Jared Kushner,

00:36:09.020 who is the son-in-law

00:36:09.660 of Donald Trump.

00:36:10.620 The document continues,

00:36:11.880 CHS shared phone calls

00:36:13.420 shared phone calls

00:36:17.220 between Dershowitz and Epstein

00:36:18.360 during which he slash she

00:36:20.180 took notes.

00:36:21.360 After these calls,

00:36:22.500 Mossad would then

00:36:23.300 call Dershowitz to debrief.

00:36:25.060 Epstein was close

00:36:25.780 to the former

00:36:26.220 prime minister of Israel,

00:36:27.380 Ehud Barak,

00:36:28.080 and trained as a spy under him.

00:36:29.940 Barak believed Netanyahu 0.96

00:36:31.380 was a criminal.

00:36:32.240 So you have the former

00:36:32.800 prime minister of Israel

00:36:33.740 who hates the current

00:36:35.100 prime minister of Israel.

00:36:36.200 So you see division

00:36:36.980 even within the Israeli government.

00:36:39.920 No longer can we even say

00:36:41.060 he worked for Israel.

00:36:41.760 It would have to be

00:36:42.100 for part of Israel.

00:36:43.460 Saudi Arabia,

00:36:44.300 Israel,

00:36:44.680 and the United Arab Emirates

00:36:45.680 are allied against Qatar,

00:36:46.840 Turkey,

00:36:47.360 Iran,

00:36:47.980 and Syria.

00:36:49.220 From one of the

00:36:49.800 confidential human sources,

00:36:51.900 Blank,

00:36:55.000 who presumably worked Blank,

00:36:56.240 it's a long clear,

00:36:56.860 asked the confidential

00:36:57.780 human source,

00:36:58.940 a lot of questions

00:36:59.700 about Epstein.

00:37:00.280 CHS became convinced

00:37:01.700 that Epstein was co-opted

00:37:02.760 as a Mossad agent.

00:37:03.860 Okay, so we've heard

00:37:05.540 a lot of that before.

00:37:07.400 It's a little less solid

00:37:08.660 if it's just this

00:37:09.420 confidential human source,

00:37:10.560 but maybe.

00:37:11.020 I mean,

00:37:11.180 there's evidence linking

00:37:11.960 Epstein to Mossad,

00:37:13.680 and evidence linking Epstein

00:37:14.860 to the CIA,

00:37:16.160 and evidence linking Epstein

00:37:17.400 to Russia,

00:37:18.600 and evidence linking Epstein

00:37:20.020 to MI6,

00:37:21.340 I guess,

00:37:21.920 and,

00:37:22.380 and,

00:37:22.960 and,

00:37:23.320 and evidence linking Epstein

00:37:24.720 to the Arabs,

00:37:25.380 and the evidence

00:37:29.580 seems to suggest

00:37:30.780 that Epstein

00:37:31.380 was a spy

00:37:32.300 in some sense

00:37:34.280 for like everyone.

00:37:37.340 And I think

00:37:37.920 this is what people

00:37:38.800 don't,

00:37:39.380 don't quite seem to get.

00:37:42.360 I,

00:37:42.940 I came out

00:37:43.480 when I saw these files,

00:37:44.600 and I said,

00:37:45.760 you know,

00:37:46.800 there's,

00:37:48.560 there's no real

00:37:49.040 big revelation here.

00:37:51.180 People say,

00:37:51.500 what do you mean

00:37:51.860 there's no revelation?

00:37:53.100 I,

00:37:53.300 I mean,

00:37:53.680 there's nothing

00:37:54.200 in the new files

00:37:55.220 that we didn't already

00:37:56.520 kind of know

00:37:57.240 or seriously suspect before.

00:37:58.580 He was working

00:37:59.000 with this government

00:37:59.780 or that government,

00:38:00.500 or he might have been

00:38:01.040 working with this government

00:38:01.700 or that government.

00:38:02.360 The only real revelation

00:38:03.600 to me

00:38:04.100 comes from that interview

00:38:05.680 with Steve Bannon,

00:38:06.640 in which Epstein

00:38:08.100 doesn't seem that smart.

00:38:10.400 Now,

00:38:10.820 you don't need to be

00:38:11.300 super smart

00:38:11.780 to be a trader

00:38:12.280 on Wall Street,

00:38:13.360 but he just doesn't,

00:38:15.380 he doesn't seem

00:38:15.960 that sophisticated

00:38:16.540 when it comes to finance

00:38:17.680 or science,

00:38:18.420 which he was

00:38:18.880 apparently interested in.

00:38:21.920 Now,

00:38:22.660 what he was probably

00:38:25.160 primarily

00:38:26.400 is an influence peddler.

00:38:28.720 And so,

00:38:29.440 even when we call him

00:38:30.240 a spy,

00:38:31.400 probably it's more likely

00:38:33.420 to call him spy-ish.

00:38:35.500 Do we think this was

00:38:36.620 Agent Epstein

00:38:37.960 reporting for duty,

00:38:39.120 you know,

00:38:39.360 trained in an underground lab?

00:38:40.800 I don't think so.

00:38:43.640 Because then it's unclear

00:38:45.100 why he was working

00:38:45.840 with these other

00:38:46.300 intelligence agencies.

00:38:48.460 Probably he was

00:38:49.420 an influence peddler

00:38:50.360 who brought a lot

00:38:51.980 of people together,

00:38:52.700 who was useful

00:38:53.580 to intelligence,

00:38:54.320 who just kind of

00:38:56.040 greased the wheels

00:38:57.300 and kept things going,

00:38:59.480 did favors.

00:39:01.320 So they're all

00:39:01.740 going to look into,

00:39:02.340 Poland hates Russia, 0.88

00:39:03.220 they're going to call,

00:39:04.160 they're going to accuse him

00:39:04.860 of just being a Russian guy.

00:39:06.500 People who hate Israel,

00:39:07.400 they're going to say

00:39:07.760 he was just Mossad.

00:39:08.560 People who hate America,

00:39:09.300 they're going to say

00:39:09.520 he was just CIA.

00:39:12.420 Probably,

00:39:13.100 he was a spy

00:39:14.060 for like,

00:39:15.380 everyone.

00:39:15.820 Okay,

00:39:17.340 speaking of criminals,

00:39:19.800 speaking of criminals,

00:39:23.060 there's this terrible scandal

00:39:25.060 in SoCal

00:39:26.700 that no one's really

00:39:27.380 talking about.

00:39:29.280 This is,

00:39:30.520 a Catholic school

00:39:31.340 in Southern California

00:39:32.120 was just attacked

00:39:33.120 and seriously vandalized.

00:39:35.260 You had,

00:39:35.840 where's the story?

00:39:37.940 Yeah,

00:39:38.480 local news,

00:39:39.180 KTLA,

00:39:41.300 a statue of the Virgin Mary

00:39:42.520 was defaced,

00:39:43.280 the tabernacle was defaced.

00:39:44.700 I mean,

00:39:44.940 this is really,

00:39:45.660 really bad.

00:39:46.620 It's a pretty traditional school,

00:39:48.000 I think.

00:39:48.440 I think they have

00:39:49.140 traditional Latin mass

00:39:50.380 and you're not reading about it

00:39:52.820 all that much.

00:39:53.640 Local news report,

00:39:54.460 you're going to hear it

00:39:54.900 on this show,

00:39:55.300 you're not hearing about it

00:39:56.000 in many places.

00:39:57.460 And it got me to thinking

00:39:58.680 that anti-Catholicism

00:40:01.260 might be the last

00:40:01.960 acceptable prejudice.

00:40:03.440 It's not that

00:40:04.760 attacks on Catholics 0.91

00:40:06.000 are the worst.

00:40:09.580 Well,

00:40:09.980 I mean,

00:40:10.500 personally,

00:40:10.880 I find it to be the worst,

00:40:12.080 you know,

00:40:12.220 and I,

00:40:13.020 but,

00:40:14.700 it's not that

00:40:15.520 they're the most prevalent.

00:40:17.580 The attacks on Catholics,

00:40:19.180 however,

00:40:20.120 are the least reported.

00:40:22.040 When there's an attack

00:40:22.960 on a synagogue,

00:40:23.480 there might be more attacks

00:40:24.220 in synagogues proportionally,

00:40:25.860 but when there's an attack

00:40:26.640 on a synagogue,

00:40:27.660 it's reported everywhere.

00:40:28.780 When there's an attack

00:40:29.280 on a mosque,

00:40:30.240 it's reported everywhere.

00:40:31.740 Attacks on Catholic churches

00:40:32.940 or schools,

00:40:33.680 you just don't really hear about.

00:40:35.120 In Canada,

00:40:36.540 in 2021,

00:40:37.420 there was a 260% rise

00:40:38.740 in anti-Catholic crimes.

00:40:40.240 It was not mentioned

00:40:41.280 in the major news outlets,

00:40:43.240 not mentioned,

00:40:44.360 CBC,

00:40:45.440 Globe,

00:40:45.880 Globe and Mail,

00:40:47.120 despite all this

00:40:47.840 general coverage.

00:40:48.740 It's not that they're

00:40:49.480 the most prevalent

00:40:50.080 per capita,

00:40:51.340 the anti-Catholic crimes,

00:40:52.580 but they do receive

00:40:53.620 proportionally

00:40:54.440 less media coverage.

00:40:55.920 Okay,

00:40:56.280 speaking of schools,

00:40:57.400 a school board member

00:40:58.140 has just freaked out

00:40:59.240 over an unacceptable slur

00:41:02.940 being used for bums.

00:41:04.300 I am personally offended

00:41:08.440 by what was presented

00:41:10.060 on so many different levels.

00:41:17.340 One thing I would like

00:41:18.560 to see updated

00:41:19.360 is the word homeless

00:41:21.500 to unhoused.

00:41:24.380 I'm not done.

00:41:33.740 I just don't want

00:41:35.720 Mr. Berman

00:41:37.440 for this to be on him.

00:41:41.560 That's the way

00:41:42.340 our state of California,

00:41:44.040 that's the language

00:41:45.120 that they use,

00:41:46.300 and that's their reporting.

00:41:47.060 That doesn't mean

00:41:47.600 that's the language

00:41:48.280 we have to use.

00:41:50.480 Those are their tiles.

00:41:51.780 What's the problem here?

00:41:59.240 First of all,

00:42:00.060 when this office holder

00:42:02.920 says,

00:42:03.720 well,

00:42:04.520 just because the state

00:42:05.500 of California

00:42:06.080 uses this language

00:42:07.060 doesn't mean that

00:42:07.800 we have to use this language.

00:42:08.700 First of all,

00:42:09.020 you kind of do.

00:42:09.820 You really should

00:42:10.500 because you're an office holder

00:42:12.260 within this government structure.

00:42:13.780 But second of all,

00:42:17.300 I've heard this before,

00:42:19.280 that the term unhoused

00:42:21.580 is to be preferred

00:42:22.360 to homeless.

00:42:24.380 In what way

00:42:25.840 is unhoused

00:42:26.960 any better?

00:42:28.600 I know there's

00:42:29.580 this euphemism treadmill

00:42:30.720 that Steven Pinker describes,

00:42:32.280 which is that,

00:42:33.020 use a word for something,

00:42:34.360 but if the something

00:42:35.400 that's being described

00:42:36.340 is defective

00:42:38.480 or unpleasant

00:42:40.780 or undesirable

00:42:42.480 as an attribute,

00:42:43.620 then whatever

00:42:44.380 the new euphemism is

00:42:45.400 just takes on

00:42:46.260 all of those

00:42:46.820 negative qualities.

00:42:48.100 Then it seems

00:42:48.840 to be offensive.

00:42:49.460 Then we have to come up

00:42:50.040 with a new term.

00:42:51.580 In this case,

00:42:52.700 though,

00:42:53.800 when we moved,

00:42:54.940 I mean,

00:42:55.120 I'm old enough

00:42:55.520 to remember

00:42:55.820 when homeless

00:42:56.340 was the politically

00:42:56.980 correct term.

00:42:58.240 The old term

00:42:59.020 was bum

00:42:59.700 or vagrant

00:43:00.900 or indigent.

00:43:02.540 And then they said,

00:43:03.600 no,

00:43:03.700 it has to be homeless,

00:43:05.240 the homeless person.

00:43:07.220 But now they say,

00:43:08.440 you can't say homeless,

00:43:09.460 you have to say unhoused.

00:43:10.600 Those are literally

00:43:11.880 synonyms.

00:43:14.680 Bum

00:43:15.000 and homeless

00:43:15.820 are also synonyms,

00:43:17.460 but they connote

00:43:18.540 different things.

00:43:19.860 They have a different

00:43:20.620 flavor to them.

00:43:22.960 They,

00:43:23.220 you know,

00:43:23.440 homeless

00:43:23.900 just describes you

00:43:25.320 as having been

00:43:26.020 deprived of something,

00:43:27.380 whereas bum 0.66

00:43:28.280 implies moral agency.

00:43:30.700 But homeless

00:43:32.140 and unhoused

00:43:34.100 are both adjectives

00:43:36.540 that both describe

00:43:37.980 a state of deprivation

00:43:39.740 with respect

00:43:41.340 to the very same thing,

00:43:42.720 namely a home.

00:43:44.160 They're identical.

00:43:47.020 So,

00:43:47.700 really,

00:43:48.380 I think what

00:43:48.960 the left means

00:43:49.760 when they say,

00:43:50.400 don't say homeless,

00:43:51.360 say unhoused.

00:43:52.640 Or don't say,

00:43:53.040 what they're really saying

00:43:53.760 is don't talk about it.

00:43:55.220 Because in five minutes,

00:43:56.580 unhoused is going to be

00:43:57.560 unacceptable too.

00:43:58.820 Okay,

00:43:59.120 there's so much more

00:44:00.180 I want to talk about,

00:44:01.480 but I don't have time

00:44:02.760 because I have to get

00:44:03.320 to Theology Thursday

00:44:04.060 with my friend,

00:44:05.960 special guest this week,

00:44:07.000 Kirk Cameron.

00:44:08.080 The rest of the show

00:44:08.700 continues now.

00:44:09.360 You do not want to miss it.

00:44:10.120 Become a member.

00:44:10.560 Use code NOLS Canada.

00:44:11.260 WL.

00:44:11.480 He has to check out

00:44:12.080 for two months free

00:44:13.060 on all annual plans.

00:44:27.460 What was it like,

00:44:28.820 Merlin,

00:44:29.440 to be alone

00:44:30.880 with God?

00:44:36.520 Is that who you think

00:44:37.580 I was alone with?

00:44:38.320 Merlin,

00:44:43.460 I knew your father.

00:44:45.020 I am yet convinced

00:44:46.020 that he was not

00:44:46.720 of this world.

00:44:50.140 All men know 0.94

00:44:51.500 of the great Taliesin.

00:44:53.500 You are my father.

00:44:54.700 Other gods should 0.94

00:44:55.460 war for my soul.

00:44:57.840 Princess Garrus,

00:44:59.360 savior of our people.

00:45:00.800 I know what the bull

00:45:04.280 God offered you.

00:45:05.920 I was offered the same.

00:45:07.920 And?

00:45:09.400 There is a new power

00:45:10.360 at work in the world.

00:45:11.500 I've seen it.

00:45:13.540 A God who sacrifices 0.88

00:45:14.880 what he loves for us.

00:45:16.280 We are each given

00:45:16.940 only one life, singer.

00:45:19.020 No.

00:45:20.160 We're given another.

00:45:20.920 I learned of Yezu the Christ.

00:45:26.280 And I have become

00:45:27.120 his follower.

00:45:28.160 He's waiting on a miracle.

00:45:29.700 And I think

00:45:30.200 you can give him one.

00:45:31.720 Trust in Yezu. 0.87

00:45:33.060 He is the only hope

00:45:34.220 for men like us.

00:45:36.000 Fate of Britain

00:45:36.560 never rests

00:45:37.240 in the hands

00:45:37.740 of the great light.

00:45:38.940 Great light,

00:45:40.160 great darkness.

00:45:41.580 Such things mattered

00:45:42.460 to me then.

00:45:44.000 What matters to you now,

00:45:45.360 mistress of lies? 1.00

00:45:46.140 You, nephew.

00:45:52.280 The sword

00:45:53.400 of a high king.

00:45:56.560 How many lives

00:45:57.720 must be lost

00:45:58.380 before you accept

00:45:59.380 the power

00:45:59.980 you were born

00:46:01.440 to wield?

00:46:04.360 Circling to the promises

00:46:05.640 of a God

00:46:06.220 who has abandoned you.

00:46:07.560 I cannot take up

00:46:08.680 that sword again.

00:46:10.320 You know
