We just filmed the craziest episode of Bar Fight in the history of bars or fights.
00:00:08.560
How do illegal aliens go to the hospital for free? How do they do it?
00:00:11.740
They show up to the hospital and they go for free.
00:00:15.580
There's an answer to this question. Hang on. Hang on. There's an answer to this question.
00:00:18.380
How does an illegal alien go to the hospital for free?
00:00:20.980
He probably hitches a ride with Paco, his roommate, and then he shows up and he says,

for this. A Trudeau fellow in Canada, a Trudeau fellow, no less, named after a prime minister,
00:00:44.780
two prime ministers of Canada, admits that assisted suicide is mostly for killing white people.
00:00:51.300
Democrats pretend to be Christian for the midterm elections.
00:00:54.300
And Elmo goes Muslim for Lent. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show.
00:01:18.780
A priestess of some heretical denomination is going viral right now wearing a planned parenthood
00:01:27.740
stole explaining how life in the womb is sacred and how abortion is sacred too. We'll get to
00:01:34.800
some theological confusion. First though, at the level of nature, I want to tell you about balance
00:01:40.020
of nature. Go to balanceofnature.com. I'm going to tell you something and I want you to tell me the
00:01:47.200
truth. You have no idea what a phytonutrient is, right? You don't. You don't. That's fine. I wouldn't
00:01:54.020
either. It's okay. That is why our sponsor Balance of Nature is here to make getting those phytonutrients
00:02:00.280
in your diet so simple. Phytonutrients are naturally occurring plant nutrients in whole foods that
00:02:06.360
give fruits and vegetables their color, their taste, and their smell. If you are eating something with
00:02:11.240
vibrant color and real flavor, that is a pretty good sign that you are getting phytonutrients.
00:02:15.880
Now, what Balance of Nature does is take all that produce and run it through this specialized vacuum
00:02:19.960
cold process that keeps everything stable. And then they powder it down without any binders,
00:02:24.840
fillers, or flow agents. Just the real stuff. And their whole health system is essentially a value
00:02:29.200
bundle that combines fruits and veggies with their fiber and spice supplements. So you're getting
00:02:32.640
47 different ingredients along with all those naturally occurring phytonutrients. Right now,
00:02:39.120
I don't care if you've been on the fence, you've been wondering, should I go check out Balance of
00:02:41.780
Nature? Now is the time. I strongly recommend you go to balanceofnature.com, order the whole health
00:02:47.340
system supplements as a preferred customer today. Really, really sad story out of Canada. Before I get to
00:02:55.860
an expert testifying to the Canadian government about how the medical assistance in dying,
00:03:04.580
also called euthanasia, which is a euphemism, means a good death. It's actually the worst kind of death.
00:03:11.000
It's just assisted suicide. It's the government sanctioning and even encouraging people to kill
00:03:15.320
themselves. Even before the debate that's gone viral in which an expert admits that assisted suicide
00:03:21.200
is mostly about killing white people in Canada. Here's an example of that. Just so awful.
00:03:25.760
Reported in the Daily Mail, distraught family blasts Canada for a euthanizing son, 26 years old,
00:03:33.220
who suffered from seasonal depression. 26-year-old guy, basically healthy, has seasonal depression.
00:03:41.520
The government encourages this kid and, in fact, helps him to carry out suicide.
00:03:46.880
suicide. This is the slippery slope. Remember when they started talking about assisted suicide
00:03:52.600
decades ago, what did the Libs say? Oh, it's only for the people who are in extraordinary physical
00:03:58.120
pain, who are 155 years old, who are nearing the end of their lives anyway, and this is to help them
00:04:03.420
avoid pain, to take greater control over their suffering. And we said, you know what's going to
00:04:08.320
happen? First of all, it's not acceptable even in those cases. That fundamentally misunderstands the
00:04:13.720
point of life. That's going to encourage people who are elderly, who do have serious illnesses.
00:04:19.580
That's going to encourage them to fall into despair, a grave sin, to consider themselves a
00:04:25.220
burden on their families or a burden on society. So even in that case, it's really awful. But what
00:04:31.080
it's going to do is it's going to slip on down that slide, and all of a sudden, you're going to get
00:04:35.900
people with less grievous illnesses. All of a sudden, you're going to get people who are much younger
00:04:40.000
who are killing themselves and doing so with the sanction and encouragement of the state.
00:04:44.060
That's exactly what's happened here. Just a little bit from the story. This kid,
00:04:49.360
Keanu, a kid, he's not a kid, a young man. Keanu Vafan, a 26-year-old guy who had some problems.
00:04:57.880
He was blind. He had diabetes, type 1 diabetes. These are not fatal illnesses. There's serious
00:05:04.780
problems. It's tough, cross to bear, but a lot of people suffer from those ailments. He was killed.
00:05:11.800
He killed himself, and doctors helped him kill himself, and the government encouraged him to
00:05:15.520
kill himself. How did this guy, whose worst medical problems were blindness and diabetes,
00:05:21.800
how did he qualify for medical assistance in dying, which we were told is only for the most grievous
00:05:27.980
terminal illnesses? Well, according to the poor guy's mother, apparently, this guy's doctor,
00:05:37.420
Dr. Wiebe, was coaching her son on how to qualify as a track two patient, which is for the people
00:05:45.060
whose natural deaths are not deemed reasonably imminent. So the people who aren't going to die
00:05:49.840
anytime soon, but they want to kill themselves anyway, and these psycho doctors and this psycho
00:05:54.300
government of America's psycho neighbor, the evil top hat of America, Canada, are encouraging them,
00:06:01.340
encouraging them by discouraging them, by taking away their courage, by taking away their heart,
00:06:05.140
by leading them into despair. According to the mother, we believe that she was coaching him on
00:06:10.280
how to deteriorate his body and what she can possibly approve him for and what she can get away
00:06:14.880
with approving him for. Okay, so it's really, really sad, and this is a really clear example of
00:06:20.160
something that an expert on assisted suicide in Canada, who is even a Trudeau fellow. There have
00:06:25.680
been two prime minister Trudeaus in Canadian history, Pierre and Justin. Justin, who's now
00:06:31.660
hanging around with Katy Perry, and we don't have to get into that, but super lib prime ministers.
00:06:37.020
This is a Trudeau fellow explaining the real purpose of assisted suicide, which is to kill white people.
00:06:42.260
Well, promote supports and services for people with mental disorders, all the various things that
00:06:51.700
bring about socioeconomic vulnerability. Parliament has an obligation to do those two things at the
00:06:59.040
same time. Don't hold individuals' rights hostage to Parliament's failure to promote mental health
00:07:06.960
supports and services, disability supports and services. Do them both. I think that's your
00:07:11.220
responsibility is to do both at the same time, and to know, and when you're answering back to your
00:07:16.900
constituents, is to be able to tell them that these are not the drivers of MAID. People who are
00:07:22.300
getting MAID are actually very, very privileged. They're white. They're well-off. They're highly
00:07:29.260
educated. They're not in institutions. They have families. So the picture of it is one of privilege,
00:07:34.500
and so it doesn't mean we don't want to look after the people who are vulnerable. Sorry.
00:07:37.320
Yeah, thank you. I just got a couple of minutes left.
00:07:41.220
It's a stunning admission, and I know that this lady thought she was making a good point in defense
00:07:47.340
of assisted suicide, but this is a stunning and horrifying admission. She says, no, no,
00:07:52.520
I understand there's this fear that marginalized people, vulnerable people, minorities are going to
00:07:59.380
be killed through MAID, but don't worry. It's just rich white people. Don't worry. We're just killing
00:08:04.840
the white people. And who needs them? Who likes them? None of us. We want to kill them all. So
00:08:10.180
don't worry. You can rest easy at night. Oh, we would never try to kill vulnerable minorities.
00:08:17.380
No, no, no. We're killing white people and rich white people at that. Doesn't that make you feel
00:08:21.580
better? That doesn't make me feel better. We shouldn't be killing the vulnerable people or
00:08:29.980
minorities or the handicapped or the elderly for that matter. But the fact that her defense here
00:08:37.560
is to say, yeah, I know we're killing a lot of people, but don't worry. We're only killing white
00:08:41.540
people somehow makes it even more sinister because it's a confession. On the one hand, we're told this
00:08:47.540
is really good. Assisted suicide is really good. It's wonderful. It's something we should want for
00:08:54.420
everybody. But don't worry. We're not doing it to the minorities. We're just doing it to the white
00:08:57.640
people mostly. So it's kind of a confession by pointing out this one group, the only group that
00:09:04.060
not only can legally be discriminated against, but is culturally encouraged to be discriminated against.
00:09:09.280
In confessing that assisted suicide targets that really awful group that everybody hates,
00:09:16.360
it's a kind of a tacit admission, an implicit admission that assisted suicide maybe isn't great.
00:09:22.260
If you need to protect the vulnerable communities from it, then it's not a great thing in the first
00:09:28.620
place, right? What it really is, is just a way for the socialist healthcare system in Canada
00:09:32.780
to control costs and to not have to deal with people who are a nuisance.
00:09:38.040
You know, poor people, they cause problems. The reality is poor people are being killed by
00:09:43.060
assisted suicide and people who are vulnerable, who are sick, or they are being killed by assisted
00:09:48.000
suicide. But the reason that the healthcare system is encouraging them to kill themselves
00:09:55.100
is because they're a nuisance. They are kind of a nuisance, right? We have to pay for them.
00:09:59.560
They have problems. I mean, we're all kind of a nuisance sometimes, you know, because we all have
00:10:04.240
problems. And so we could either do what Christian civilization tells us to do. Christian civilization,
00:10:09.760
which says that suicide is a grave mortal sin, that homicide and suicide are grave mortal sins,
00:10:16.880
not to be permitted, to be outlawed everywhere. Christian civilization says, you know, people,
00:10:22.380
we're all a nuisance sometimes, and we're going to try to help each other, and we're going to work
00:10:26.320
through those problems. And we're not going to take what seems like the easy way out, which is
00:10:30.020
a fast track to hell. We're not going to do that. Or we can do the liberal thing,
00:10:34.860
which says that virtue and the moral order are not to be followed, at least when they conflict with
00:10:41.300
personal autonomy. And the fullest expression of personal autonomy is killing yourself.
00:10:46.500
It's how you know that the modern liberal conception of freedom is, in fact, satanic,
00:10:51.480
luciferian. But there's that ideological component, to be fair to them. And then there's
00:10:56.440
this practical component, which is these people are a nuisance, and we don't want to pay for them.
00:11:02.360
And we don't want to listen to them, and we don't want to deal with them. And just,
00:11:05.160
can you just kill yourself, please? Can you, I'll tell you what, we'll help you. Can you just kill
00:11:08.360
yourself so I don't have to listen to you anymore, and I certainly don't have to pay for you?
00:11:11.680
That's the practical argument for assisted suicide. And so when you point out that that's
00:11:16.880
extremely evil, they say, no, don't worry, we're protecting vulnerable populations from
00:11:21.360
assisted suicide. Wait, wait, wait, five seconds ago, you were telling me assisted suicide
00:11:24.300
was a good thing. Now we have to protect people from it. Which is it? We know what it is. Now,
00:11:29.880
speaking of morality, there are libs here in America who are trying to convince us that after
00:11:36.700
years and years of the left denigrating religion, mocking those Bible-clinging, bitter-clinging,
00:11:44.540
Bible-thumper, awful, regressive conservative Christians, what we're now being told is actually
00:11:52.540
the Democrats not only like Christianity, but they're the real true Christians. Quite a shift
00:11:57.860
in messaging ahead of the midterms. We'll get to that because it just took place on Stephen Colbert's
00:12:01.880
Stupid Show, which can't be canceled fast enough. First, though, I want to tell you about Leaf
00:12:06.580
Filter. Go to leaffilter.com slash Knowles. This episode is sponsored by Leaf Filter. And you know I'm
00:12:15.980
frugal. I'm frugal, right? Some have called me cheap in the past. I'm a little bit frugal,
00:12:20.680
and so I want to get the cheap thing. You buy the cheap phone charger, and then what happens? It
00:12:25.060
looks like the real phone charger, but then it breaks in two seconds, or maybe it fries your phone
00:12:29.340
or whatever. So the same thing will happen to you when you look up at your gutters. You can do the
00:12:35.420
cheap thing. You can buy the knockoffs, and it might even look the same. It's not going to work.
00:12:41.000
Leaf Filter is not just another gutter guard. Leaf Filter is a trusted name built to last with years
00:12:47.900
of relentless engineering behind it. Those hood-style knockoffs, they cannot keep up in heavy
00:12:53.240
rain. The water pours right over the edge straight to your foundation, messes up your house. In lighter
00:12:58.280
rain, leaves and debris flow right in the gap. Leaf Filter is different. It works better because it's
00:13:02.860
topped by surgical-grade stainless steel and micro-mesh so that water is channeled in while
00:13:06.980

00:13:32.620
Big update to the Democrat messaging. I don't know if the various robots and automatons that are
00:13:40.080
projecting the Democrat message ahead of the midterms, I don't know if they've all received the
00:13:43.780
update yet. But the old messaging said, Christianity bad, Bible thumpers bad, people who believe in
00:13:51.580
Christ are just a bunch of rubes, basically. All the smart people are atheists, secularists.
00:13:57.520
They move past that retrograde religion. Now the upgrade says, no, no, no. Christianity good,
00:14:02.960
actually. But conservatives, not real Christians. No, no, no. We are the real Christians.
00:14:08.600
Here is James Tallarico. He's running for Senate in Texas. He goes on Stephen Colbert's show.
00:14:16.660
Stephen Colbert made a big point to highlight this interview. In fact, Colbert claimed that CBS,
00:14:22.440
his current employer, was trying to kill the interview because he said the FCC was threatening
00:14:30.620
CBS. And CBS tried to threaten Colbert and kill the interview. And then CBS came out and said,
00:14:35.560
that's totally bogus, Stephen, that you made that up. And Colbert is not backing down from it. It's
00:14:40.680
big hullabaloo to bring a lot of attention because Colbert thinks this is a really important message
00:14:45.100
for Democrats in November. Here's the message. Well, for 50 years, the religious right,
00:14:52.880
a political movement, that is the perfect description for it. They convinced a lot of
00:14:58.840
our fellow Christians that the most important issues were abortion and gay marriage. Two issues
00:15:06.400
that aren't mentioned in the Bible, two issues that Jesus never talked about. Jesus in Matthew 25
00:15:12.780
tells us exactly how you and I and every one of our fellow believers, how we're going to be judged and
00:15:18.640
how we're going to be saved. By feeding the hungry, by healing the sick, by welcoming the stranger.
00:15:25.040
Nothing about going to church. Nothing about voting Republican. It was all about how you treat other
00:15:32.320
people. Don't, don't. I've said, I've said before, don't tell me what you believe. Show me how you treat
00:15:45.720
other people and I'll tell you what you believe. And, and I think in our, in our faith, we've got to get
00:15:53.260
back to those fundamentals. My granddad was a Baptist preacher in South Texas. Oh, I can tell.
00:15:59.920
I can tell. You got that, you got that slick tongue, that silver tongue devil, Tallarico. He
00:16:05.660
doesn't have the morality to back it up. He doesn't have the serious biblical exegesis to back it up,
00:16:11.060
but he is a silver tongue devil, isn't he? You know, listen, no guys, no, Christianity is great,
00:16:17.340
but we're the real Christians. If you were really a Christian, Jesus never said you had to vote
00:16:21.940
Republican. He said you had to vote Democrat. That's the new message. Okay. All right. I guess
00:16:27.240
hypocrisy is the tribute vice-paste to virtue, as La Roche-Foucault tells us. So if the Democrats used
00:16:34.220
to say Christianity is bad, ignore Christianity, let's make fun of the Bible, if they used to do
00:16:39.060
that, and now they're saying Christianity is good, I guess that could be an upgrade.
00:16:43.100
But I want to be really clear on this point. I want all the Democrats to assent to this,
00:16:50.020
or at least to answer the question. Is Christianity good or bad? Because right now,
00:16:56.940
the Democrat messaging is a little confused, and people like Tallarico and Colbert are trying to
00:17:00.280
shift it. But some of the Democrats make it seem like Christianity is awful, and Christianity is this
00:17:05.260
terribly oppressive religion, and it's false, and we shouldn't follow it, and the followers of Christ
00:17:10.660
are idiots, and bigots, and racists, and it's not real, and maybe God's not even real. And so I'm
00:17:16.840
getting a lot of that from the Democrats. But then I'm also hearing this Tallarico guy who says,
00:17:21.620
really, we need to truly be Christian. It's so wonderful to be Christian. Let me tell you
00:17:25.840
why I'm the most Christian guy in the world. Which is it? Because if you're going to say the
00:17:33.120
Christianity is good, and true even, and should be followed, then at least we can have a conversation.
00:17:40.620
You're saying Christianity is true, and we should believe what the Bible says,
00:17:43.940
and we should believe what Christ says, and we should do what Christ tells us to do.
00:17:47.960
Now we can have a conversation. Do you really believe that? I don't think they do. Because
00:17:51.740
Tallarico says that there's no mention of abortion in the Bible. Christ doesn't say any. He specifically
00:17:58.300
says Jesus doesn't say anything about this. Now, of course, our Lord says, let the little children
00:18:02.220
come to me, which would seem to preclude the notion that we should let the little children be
00:18:06.500
sucked up by a vacuum cleaner and shredded up by blades, right? Our Lord tells us that he doesn't
00:18:13.180
abolish a jot or tittle of the law. Well, the law says thou shalt not commit murder. So I think the
00:18:20.160
Bible's teaching and our Lord's teaching on abortion is pretty clear. It's funny that he says our Lord
00:18:24.420
doesn't say anything about marriage. Marriage is one of the very few hyper-specific things that
00:18:31.520
our Lord does speak about. First of all, his first public miracle is at the wedding at Cana.
00:18:37.320
Pretty important. And then he describes what marriage is. He says a man and a woman leave
00:18:42.060
their families and come together and become one flesh. And what God has joined, no man can separate.
00:18:47.680
So he actually quite explicitly raises marriage from a natural bond to a sacramental bond.
00:18:53.020
And it doesn't involve two fellas and it doesn't involve two chicks.
00:18:55.860
So he's wrong on the points. But let's say he weren't wrong on the points. He obviously comes
00:19:01.640
from some tradition that really emphasizes personal exegesis and personal interpretation,
00:19:08.620
private interpretation of the Bible rather than an authoritative interpretation. Okay,
00:19:11.800
well, let's just go back then. If we're going to be a little more open-minded about this,
00:19:17.440
let's see what other people had to say. Even just, this is a great reference from Church
00:19:22.560
Father's website. On abortion, on abortion specifically, we have the Didache, the first
00:19:28.420
catechism, which comes from the apostolic age, the first century. The Didache says,
00:19:33.760
the second commandment of the teaching, you shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery,
00:19:36.760
you shall not seduce boys, you shall not commit fornication, you shall not steal, you shall not
00:19:39.860
practice magic, you shall not use potions, you shall not procure an abortion, nor destroy a newborn
00:19:45.060
child. Where else do we see proscriptions against abortion? From AD 74, the letter of Barnabas,
00:19:52.160
from AD 137, the Apocalypse of Peter, from Tertullian, from, I'm skipping over people just
00:19:58.780
to names you might have heard, Hippolytus, Basil the Great, St. Jerome, St. John Chrysostom,
00:20:04.980
the Apostolic Constitutions, more even, we don't have total time to go through.
00:20:09.180
So I mentioned all of that to say, if the Democrats want to change their messaging from
00:20:15.540
we hate Christianity to we actually, we like Christianity and we're the real Christians and
00:20:18.980
you're not. That can be good for Republicans. You have to get them here though, to the point.
00:20:26.040
You have them to say, okay, so you're saying Christianity is good and we should follow what
00:20:28.340
Jesus teaches and we should, okay, great. Then let's talk about it. And they're not going to
00:20:33.120
really want to talk about that because the entire leftist project began, is by definition,
00:20:41.200
an attack on the church. That's where it begins in the French Revolution.
00:20:44.220
The notion that a Christian could support abortion or this crazy new definition of marriage or whatever
00:20:50.820
is insane. No Christian has ever seriously believed that until at most very, very recently.
00:20:57.280
And even there, I have my doubts. So that's fine. Great. But let's establish it off the front.
00:21:03.020
Is Christianity good or bad? The funny thing is you won't get to that point with most Democrats
00:21:06.340
because they'll tell you, no, it's bad. It's just this meme. There's this really smug guy meme where it
00:21:10.280
says, well, look, I think your religion is completely stupid and I don't believe any of
00:21:15.960
it. But here, let me try to use your religion. Let me tell you what your religion believes and try
00:21:20.760
to use it against you. It's this smug, disingenuous nonsense, which I think is the best descriptor of
00:21:27.000
everything James Tallarico has ever said. Now, you are seeing some people who pretend to be Christian
00:21:32.940
doing this. There's a lady who just went viral. She presents herself as a priestess,
00:21:37.220
which does not exist in Christianity. It exists in pagan cults, but it doesn't exist in Christianity.
00:21:43.240
This priestess puts a collar on to pretend to be a priest and she puts a stole on and to make the
00:21:49.680
whole thing even more satanic, she has the Planned Parenthood logo on the priestly stole.
00:21:56.720
Here is her defense of the left's highest sacrament, abortion.
00:22:02.380
In the abortion imaginary, all people of faith are against abortion.
00:22:10.640
This imaginary has colonized our minds, traumatizing many people with its toxic theology
00:22:16.840
and shaping a culture of stigma and shame that has silenced millions of women and people who have
00:22:24.040
had abortions, erasing their voices, their stories, and their witness from the public sphere.
00:22:30.060
As a child of God, I can certainly appreciate the lyrical beauty of this text as well as the
00:22:35.640
descriptions in Jeremiah and Job of their certain knowledge that God was with them in the womb.
00:22:41.940
I too feel that I am known by God in these ways. As a woman who has born two children, I can affirm that
00:22:49.720
I felt something sacred happening in my gestating body during those pregnancies. I can also attest that
00:22:57.540
I felt God's presence with me as I made the decision to end two pregnancies. And I felt no guilt, no shame, no sin.
00:23:06.800
Okay, it's horrifying, but you have to give this murderous woman, this truly sacrilegious heretic,
00:23:15.840
you have to give her some credit for honesty here. Because she's acknowledging something that most
00:23:22.680
pro-abortion Christians will not, which is, you know, something sacred was going on in my womb
00:23:28.920
when that baby was being knit in there. And you know, Jeremiah and Job, they describe being knit
00:23:35.180
in the womb. And yeah, that's all real. I totally grant that. And I felt it. I know, I personally know
00:23:40.420
it's real. But I chose to kill my kids, and I felt that that was cool too. So of course,
00:23:47.980
the difference between Christianity, real Christianity, and some woo-woo religions and
00:23:53.940
a lot of pagan cults is that Christianity is a definitive religion. Like, our Lord is a real
00:23:59.380
person who lives in real time and space and picks real people to build his church with and upon,
00:24:05.060
like St. Peter, to whom he gives the keys to the kingdom of heaven and the power to bind and to loose.
00:24:10.420
So this is definitive. This is a religion that has real authority, visible authority in the world
00:24:15.940
throughout history. During that history in which our Lord says, I will send the helper. I will send
00:24:22.580
the Holy Spirit to you. And I will be with you always, even until the end of the age, because our
00:24:26.280
Lord is the bridegroom and the church is the bride. So it's a real definitive religion. We can
00:24:30.420
definitively say Christianity outlaws abortion. Christianity has a real view of marriage,
00:24:36.200
and it doesn't change. So we can really say all that. But this woman kind of admits that.
00:24:40.420
Which is where you have to give her honesty points. What she says is,
00:24:45.620
I felt a divine thing happening when babies were being created in my womb.
00:24:49.700
But I killed them anyway. Because my autonomy trumped even the spark of the divine.
00:24:59.460
In other words, my autonomy trumps even God himself. And it's nuts when you hear it that way from a
00:25:10.660
liberal lady who's being forthright. But that is the premise of liberalism. The premise of liberalism.
00:25:17.800
Certainly today, but the seeds were there from the earliest moments of liberalism.
00:25:22.600
The premise is, nothing is more important than my autonomy.
00:25:27.000
I will make of myself the highest God. You saw this in the Biden administration.
00:25:34.600
When Biden could be a liberal and plausibly be a Christian, he was happy to do it and call himself
00:25:40.740
the most devout Catholic in the world. However, when his liberalism conflicted with his Christianity,
00:25:46.220
he always chose liberalism. And this is what liberalism tells us to do. We can believe any
00:25:52.880
wide number of things. We can engage in any wide number of behaviors we like. We can even join many
00:25:57.880
political parties. But the highest good is my autonomy. It's numero uno. I'm really number one.
00:26:06.360
I will make a God of myself. I mean, it's a fulfillment of what the serpent promises to
00:26:13.660
our first ancestors in the garden. You will be as gods. You will be like gods. Okay? Surely you will
00:26:18.940
not die. You'll be like gods. You don't have to listen to him. And that's what she's saying.
00:26:25.320
It's all the more satanic because she admits, says, yeah, Jeremiah and Job talk about that divine
00:26:31.900
spark in the womb. I felt it too. And I killed it. Press them on that. Press the Democrats. Press
00:26:40.860
the libs on that. But you're a Christian. Okay. What about when the Christianity contradicts your
00:26:47.100
liberalism? Which side do you pick? Now, speaking of religion, Elmo has decided on a very interesting
00:26:57.400
religious course as we embark from Ash Wednesday into the penitential season of Lent. Elmo's going
00:27:04.940

00:28:31.340
Elmo actually posts it on the first day of Lent, the first full day of Lent.
00:28:41.420
Ramadan Mubarak to all of Elmo's friends. Elmo loves you.
00:28:46.060
Ramadan Mubarak. Hold on. So it looks like, hold on, it went up at 1237 p.m. on February 19th.
00:28:55.700
So it's a little after. You've had one full day of Lent in Ash Wednesday. Now we're in the season
00:29:00.560
of Lent before. And I guess this weird thing this year, Ramadan, the Muslim holiday, began at the
00:29:07.020
same time as Lent. And yet, it scoured Elmo's timeline. There was no posting about Lent.
00:29:16.480
The beginning of the most important liturgical season in the church. This is it. We're looking
00:29:20.600
ahead to Easter, which is the commemoration of the resurrection. Why would Elmo, a product of the
00:29:29.620
mainstream liberal pop culture? Why would Elmo choose to celebrate the Muslim thing and not the
00:29:36.460
Christian thing? Elmo? Elmo has bought his Kalashnikov and wants you to know not to be
00:29:43.420
friends with the Jews or the Christians because they are each other's friends. Elmo wants you to
00:29:49.500
hack at their necks where they pray. Okay. All right. That's enough, Elmo. Enough, Elmo. I know he's
00:29:55.220
got the zeal of a convert. Have you ever noticed the Libs celebrate all sorts of things that most
00:30:01.340
of us have never even heard of? Like you think of this stuff Google celebrates every day. Every day,
00:30:07.320
there's some new holiday you never heard about that Google celebrates. But have you noticed that
00:30:11.940
all of the liberal celebrations are really anti-celebrations? Google is actually the perfect
00:30:17.700
place to see this because it could be Easter Sunday and you go to Google and Google has a
00:30:25.200
little cartoon, a little animation celebrating something. And they're going to be celebrating
00:30:29.000
the half birthday of some Polynesian tap dancer that no one has ever once heard of, ever.
00:30:36.700
They'll find the most obscure, bizarre thing to celebrate, but they won't celebrate Easter.
00:30:41.400
But they won't celebrate, I don't know, some other normal holiday, Thanksgiving, whatever.
00:30:46.360
It's always an anti-celebration. Elmo's going to celebrate Ramadan. Elmo was not conceived in
00:30:54.580
Dubai. Elmo was not conceived in Tehran. Elmo is a product of the civilization that succeeded
00:31:03.200
Christendom. We call it the West. Why would he celebrate the Muslim religion rather at the very
00:31:12.380
same time that there is a Christian holiday? Is it because Elmo really loves Islam? I don't think so.
00:31:19.360
I don't think Elmo is joining any jihadi groups anytime soon. It's really about Lent. He's really
00:31:27.980
celebrating about Lent. Same reason Elmo just went out and celebrated Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl.
00:31:33.360
And he said, Elmo loves Bad Bunny. You're a good bunny or whatever. And you think about Bad Bunny.
00:31:37.920
What did Bad Bunny do at the end? At the big celebratory moment, at the end of his
00:31:40.900
bit at the Super Bowl, Bad Bunny comes out and he says, God bless America.
00:31:47.360
And then he names every single country in the Western Hemisphere.
00:31:50.620
He names every country in the Western Hemisphere, weirdly, other than Greenland,
00:31:53.920
which is about to become America. And he shoves America in there, but he intentionally downplays
00:31:58.640
the importance of actual America, like the United States. So even there, even in that celebration
00:32:03.820
of America, God bless America, one of the most traditional, simple statements of patriotism we
00:32:08.480
could have. It was God bless America, by which I mean Argentina and Chile and Cuba and Colombia
00:32:16.220
and Puerto Rico, which is supposed to be part of America. And when it's convenient,
00:32:20.940
they say they're American. But when it's not convenient, they say they're not American.
00:32:23.540
And even that was an anti-celebration. Because liberalism is just perversion.
00:32:30.260
I don't know. I'm feeling a little slap-happy today. So I'll be a little more blunt.
00:32:33.260
It's just perversion. It's fighting against something. It's a revolt against good manners,
00:32:41.780
your dad, society, family, truth, justice, and ultimately against God. But it's oppositional.
00:32:49.800
That's really what it's about. It's you against the world. That's liberalism.
00:32:54.040
It's an opposition to human nature and all the things that we cherish in our society.
00:33:02.200
That's why conservatives try to conserve things and the liberals try to liberate themselves from
00:33:06.620
everything, including from our own bodies. So it makes sense that their celebrations are kind of
00:33:10.860
anti-celebrations. If I were a Muslim, I might actually be a little offended by Elmo's celebration
00:33:16.160
of Ramadan. Because it's not about Ramadan. It's about not celebrating Christianity.
00:33:24.840
Even Bad Bunny, he doesn't care about Chile or Argentina or whatever. I guess he probably
00:33:29.020
cares about Puerto Rico because he's from there. He doesn't care about half the countries he named.
00:33:33.080
His celebration of those countries was a way to oppose the United States. It's always anti.
00:33:39.100
It's always oppositional. It's kind of like how evil is the privation of the good.
00:33:42.020
Okay. Before we go, speaking of little fictional characters, we turn from Elmo to aliens.
00:33:49.640
President Trump was just asked on Air Force One about Barack Obama's declaration,
00:33:59.480
Barack Obama said that aliens are real. Have you seen any evidence of non-human visitors to Earth?
00:34:09.760
Well, he gave classified information. He's not supposed to be doing that.
00:34:14.580
Well, I don't know if they're real or not. I can tell you he gave classified information.
00:34:19.320
He made a big mistake. He took it out of classified information.
00:34:24.320
No, I don't have an opinion on it. I never talk about it. A lot of people do. A lot of people believe it.
00:34:32.780
Well, the president can declassify anything that he wants to.
00:34:39.600
What? Hold on. What? Am I going to? I've had a long-standing, sort of a bet, I guess, a long kind of abstract wager with Matt Walsh at this company.
00:34:53.900
Matt is very pro-aliens. I'm quite convinced there is no such thing as E.T.
00:34:58.300
The only aliens that we have to deal with are from Venezuela.
00:35:02.000
Did Trump just? So Obama comes out, he goes, aliens are real.
00:35:05.360
No. And Trump says he gave out classified information.
00:35:11.620
Now, the other thing that could be the classified information is when Obama said, you know, the aliens aren't at Area 51 or they're not at Roswell or whatever.
00:35:19.220
You know, he said other things in that statement.
00:35:22.600
And then Obama came out and clarified and said, well, no, I actually, I don't have any direct knowledge of aliens.
00:35:31.060
So maybe was that the classified information that we don't know?
00:35:38.940
Remember, the Biden administration, which was the third term of Obama, raided the guy's home because they said that Trump was illegally storing classified information.
00:35:47.640
Was he just trying to needle Obama, say it was classified information?
00:35:50.920
Maybe I'll get him off the hook by declassifying.
00:35:58.660
He could be doing, he could be saying aliens are real.
00:36:04.400
He could be just taunting the press and getting them to talk about that.
00:36:14.800
I am as convinced as a person can be that aliens are not real.
00:36:30.780
This has shaken my confidence as much as anything can that aliens are not real.
00:36:37.540
And yet I am still more or less 100% convinced.
00:36:43.400
And it's either a bunch of people with overactive imaginations or deception on the part of our government.
00:36:51.340
Maybe to mess with our adversaries or it's demons.

The modal commenter of the last decade on this show
00:39:03.240
Finally, finally, we get to my favorite time of the week
00:39:12.080
K-N-O-W-L-E-S, today to join my wireless company.
00:39:25.480
How are we supposed to properly court a Gen Z woman?
00:39:31.640
I was actually, I was gathering intel from Zoomers.
00:40:17.440
the guy, he can take you to the nice restaurant.
00:40:22.840
I don't think that's just particular to Zoomer women.
00:41:26.400
Zoomer guys, you take it a little too seriously.
00:41:37.160
you're going to be thrown in jail or something.
00:41:47.820
I mean, it just sounds really kind of dreadful.
00:42:53.340
I said, well, you don't have to take a girl bowling.
