00:00:17.720 Very possibly the most disturbing story you've ever heard in your life occurs in Spain,
00:00:23.720 and it's coming probably to a city near you.
00:00:26.380 Then, the liberal media team up with Oxford University to try to get you to do weird sex stuff.
00:00:32.240 And, finally, speaking of, the Olympics has officially banned trans athletes from female sports.
00:00:41.660 Coincidentally, three years, almost to the day after my CPAC speech, calling for the eradication of transgenderism. 0.91
00:00:49.760 I think we did it.
00:00:50.820 I'm Michael Knowles.
00:00:51.640 This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:00:56.380 welcome back to the show i leave town you know i had a great speech last night wonderful time
00:01:19.500 in grove city college i'm not i'm not saying the speech was great i mean i think it was i think the
00:01:24.940 audience enjoyed it. But I mean, the whole event was great to be at one of the few true conservative
00:01:30.080 colleges in the country. Then this morning heading to CPAC to give, I don't know, who should we
00:01:36.420 eradicate this year? Who knows? I don't know. What headlines can we get in Rolling Stone this year?
00:01:41.160 But back in Nashville, back in my town, even the hockey team is going gay. The Nashville Predators, 0.95
00:01:50.120 the hockey team, they're going gay three months before pride. They had a pride night in March.

00:02:02.860 about cow guys. Go to cowguys.com. I love cow guys. So for me, for a very long time,
00:02:10.740 I didn't pay attention to my skin, to my, even the only thing I would use is underarm.
00:02:14.420 and what would I use? The most toxic, chemically poisonous nonsense. And Elisa would get on me
00:02:20.580 about it. She'd say, Mac, stop doing that. You got to use beef tallow on you. I said, whatever.
00:02:25.640 I'm not putting beef tallow. What are you talking about? That's not going to work. It's going to be,
00:02:28.940 I tried it and it really worked. So she's a very discerning woman. I had her try Cow Guys. Right 0.96
00:02:35.620 when Cow Guys came out, I said, you got to try Cow Guys. Let me know if this, I don't know if it's
00:02:39.800 going to be as good as my other towel. She goes, Cow Guys is great. And that is a real endorsement. 0.71
00:02:45.660 That is one, she knows what she's talking about. Me, what do I know? But she knows what she's

00:03:12.200 how to sugarcoat this. This is the most disturbing story that maybe you've ever heard in your whole
00:03:18.560 life. I'll try to speak about it in ways that it won't be too graphic. This is a family show,
00:03:26.200 but I'm not going to... I'll tell you what happened, and then we'll talk about what it
00:03:30.760 means, because there's massive political import here. The story is this woman, Noelia Castillo. 0.74
00:03:37.840 She was 25 years old, and she was killed yesterday. She was killed sort of by herself,
00:03:47.560 sort of by the state. She had what they call euthanasia, euthanasia, which means good death. 1.00
00:03:53.320 That's an ironic Orwellian term, because it actually refers to the very worst kind of death,
00:03:57.920 which is a suicide. A suicide made all the more scandalous because it is a suicide sanctioned and
00:04:03.860 actually encouraged by the state. She killed herself with the blessing and encouragement
00:04:11.160 of her government, which is supposed to be looking out for her common good, after she was left 0.97
00:04:17.100 reportedly partially paralyzed after a previous suicide attempt. She tried to jump out of a
00:04:23.220 window. It's unclear exactly how paralyzed she was. Some outlets were reporting that she was
00:04:27.620 paraplegic, but then I think she countered that and said, no, I put on my makeup. I take myself
00:04:31.540 to the bathroom, but I just want to kill myself. She previously had attempted suicide because, 0.99
00:04:37.820 and this is where it gets really, really dark. You thought it was darker, right? So
00:04:44.960 this gal was taken out of her parents' home. Her parents got divorced. I guess they fell on hard
00:04:53.140 times. They got divorced. She was taken out of her parents' home and placed in a state institution.
00:04:59.740 When she was in the state institution, three illegal migrants, I don't know if it was,
00:05:06.100 actually, I don't know if it was three. I know it was multiple. The reporting's a little nebulous
00:05:10.460 on here. It might be three. It might be more. It was definitely multiple illegal migrants
00:05:15.260 assaulted her. And this obviously traumatized her, and no one took care of her.
00:05:26.800 This is the consistent story of this girl's life. No one seems to have taken care of her at any turn.
00:05:33.780 And in as much as her family wanted to take care of her, the government wouldn't let her family
00:05:37.500 take care of her. And then the government put her into a place where she was being victimized, 1.00
00:05:41.300 And then the government didn't take care of her. And then she was so traumatized, she tried to kill herself when she was able to survive happily. She goes to the government and the government says, oh, do you want us to help you kill yourself? We can kill yourself for you. And she said, yes. Then her father said, no, please don't kill my daughter. I don't want you to kill my daughter. And they were locked in some court battle. And then the government said, nope, never mind.
00:06:05.360 According to some of the reporting, the family, the friends were not allowed to even get in there in the last days.
00:06:11.620 Again, I keep saying some reporting, some reporting, because it's very unclear and there are conflicting reports.
00:06:16.820 But there was one report that said that the girl seemed to express doubts in the final days, but did it anyway.
00:06:25.140 And one thing that is clear from everyone, everyone, every single person who has ever survived a suicide attempt, they all regret it.
00:06:35.360 they all regret it. 100% of them. If they are able to have any conscious thought at all
00:06:43.980 between pulling the trigger, jumping off the ledge, whatever it is, and oblivion,
00:06:49.320 or worse than oblivion, they regret it. So regardless, she killed herself. Here are her
00:06:59.240 words. I have no desire to do anything, not to go out, not to eat, not to do anything at all.
00:07:04.880 sleeping is very difficult for me. Furthermore, I suffer from back pain as well as leg pain.
00:07:10.560 So right off the bat, this is a girl who is depressed. If she is going to the government
00:07:17.380 for her medical care, if she's going to the government for psychiatric treatment,
00:07:21.480 you would expect the government to try to help her. But instead, what the government did
00:07:24.980 is kill her. It's the opposite of the Hippocratic Oath. I have always felt alone, she said, 0.97
00:07:31.500 because I've never felt understood. No one has ever empathized with me, and I've always struggled
00:07:36.260 with interpersonal relationships. Your heart just breaks reading every word of this.
00:07:41.040 Even before requesting euthanasia, I viewed my world as very dark.
00:07:45.300 I saw a very dark ending ahead of me. I had no goals, no objectives, nothing at all.
00:07:49.440 And I still have no goals, no objectives. And she killed herself.
00:07:55.800 Sorry, I keep saying she killed herself. Yeah, she sort of killed herself,
00:07:59.320 and the state encouraged her to do it and then helped her do it. And the state murdered her. 1.00
00:08:06.020 She killed herself, but also the state murdered her. And I'm beginning to think that we're the
00:08:12.160 baddies. You know that old sketch? Are we the baddies? It's the Nazis talking. We might be 0.83
00:08:18.620 the baddies. I don't know. We're the goodies. We're the baddies. I'm starting to think we're
00:08:22.100 the baddies. We're not the only baddies. It's not like China or Russia or Iran are better.
00:08:27.780 They're much worse in most ways.
00:08:30.400 But I'm starting to think we might be the baddies.
00:08:33.800 Just use the comparison to a communist country like China or Russia and the Soviet Union.
00:08:42.180 This is bad in a different way than that was bad.
00:08:46.740 This extreme of liberalism is bad in a different way than the extreme of communism is bad.
00:08:52.120 But weirdly, they both end up the same way, with the state killing innocent citizens.
00:09:01.120 They're bad in different ways, though.
00:09:03.100 In communism, during the purges, Lenin would just go in, starting with Lenin and then obviously accelerating with Stalin,
00:09:12.640 would just go in and just kill people, kill political enemies, kill dissidents, kill classes of people that he didn't want around anymore
00:09:21.100 because they were a political impediment to him. Just go in, kill him, sometimes torture him, 1.00
00:09:26.300 get rid of him. That's really bad, the degradation of human life under communism, 1.00
00:09:31.920 because all the human beings were just considered to be cogs in a machine, and all that mattered was
00:09:36.880 the state and the science of history, and the individuals and the souls didn't matter at all.
00:09:40.700 They were denied most of the time. That's bad. But liberalism is what led to this.
00:09:48.600 Spain's not a communist country. The communists tried to take over Spain and then Francisco
00:09:52.340 Franco beat them out. And then now they're pretty left-wing, but they're not communists.
00:09:57.560 They're liberals. We have assisted suicide, assisted suicide, euthanasia,
00:10:02.640 state-sanctioned murder and suicide combined. We have that in America. We have that in multiple
00:10:08.740 states. We see that all over Europe, the Netherlands. We see that in Canada, America's
00:10:15.140 evil top hat. There's something here. The killer is in the house and that's liberalism. How is
00:10:23.940 liberalism bad? Liberalism says that all of life is only about you. Liberalism has this false
00:10:33.140 premise that we own ourselves. You don't own yourself. It has this false idea that you create
00:10:38.800 yourself. You're a self-actualizing being. You're not. You're not. You didn't choose to come into
00:10:43.720 this world. You're not supposed to choose how to go out of this world. And many things are
00:10:48.020 beyond your control. You have free will, but you have to cooperate with reality and with God's
00:10:52.480 grace. And yet liberalism denies all of that. And liberalism also breaks down human solidarity
00:11:03.300 to the point that, you know, the ancient distinction between good government and bad
00:11:08.260 government was that good government was for the common good, bad government was for private
00:11:11.460 interest. Now, both parties in many ways deny that there's such a thing as the common good.
00:11:19.100 So the state goes in and says, you know what? You're depressed and it's going to be expensive
00:11:24.980 to treat you. And we don't want to go arrest the migrants who raped you. We're not going to, 1.00
00:11:29.220 we don't, we don't, you know, the migrants are under, they're under enough scrutiny as it is.
00:11:33.500 And actually we have some people who need some organs anyway. So, you know, let's just,
00:11:38.580 Can we kill you? How's Tuesday look? Because I got a tea time and I'm busy. Can we just kill you? 0.99
00:11:45.240 If you're old, if you're sick, if you're poor, if you're depressed, in this case, 1.00
00:11:51.760 if you have organs, because I left out maybe the most gruesome part, according to some reporting,
00:11:57.420 she was an organ donor. So according to some, again, I don't know, there'll be conflicting
00:12:02.080 news. Today it was unclear for hours whether or not she was even killed or not, or if her
00:12:06.940 execution slash suicide had been put off. But it might well be the case that her life ended because
00:12:13.680 her government took her away from her family, refused to protect her from foreign criminals,
00:12:23.840 then killed her and harvested her organs. I told you that was going to be a really dark story.
00:12:30.560 Didn't I tell you that?
00:12:31.780 I did.
00:12:35.460 Don't let it come to a country near you.
00:12:37.200 Don't let it come to a city near you.
00:12:39.060 This is coming here fast.
00:12:40.620 Don't let that happen.
00:12:41.920 Okay, now, speaking of really weird stuff being pushed by the media and the scientists
00:12:47.560 and all these sorts of unethical people, this one, a little less gruesome, but pretty freaky.
00:12:53.740 Oxford University is teaming up with the establishment media to try to get you to do really creepy sex stuff.
00:12:59.220 We will get to that momentarily. First, though, I want to tell you about Helix Sleep. Go to
00:13:05.220 helixsleep.com slash Knowles. Most people in this country are exhausted, like me, when I have to
00:13:11.680 travel all across the country day after day after day. But one thing I really look forward to is I

00:13:25.920 not just not just for the adults helix in my home for my children that's right i'm such a good father

00:14:15.580 on the road and i'm traveling all over and i'm not sleeping and i'm moving a mile a minute and
00:14:19.220 printers don't work. I have to use my iPad for today's show. Professor Jacob didn't get me my
00:14:24.420 print. It's fine. It's fine. We'll talk about it later, but I kind of like having the iPad
00:14:29.600 because I can just pull up the story. Here it is right here. New study finds, this is a really
00:14:35.160 tricky show to do today because I got to clean it up to be a family show. There's kids that watch
00:14:38.720 this show. So, okay, I'm going to clean it up with euphemisms. New study finds that stored
00:14:44.160 swimmers deteriorate across the animal kingdom. So, let me tell you how the, I think it's the
00:14:53.420 Guardian reporting this. Where is it? Yeah, the Guardian. More frequent releases may boost men's 0.99
00:15:03.980 fertility, research suggests. Need for abstinence before fertility treatment questioned as study
00:15:10.260 finds swimmers deteriorate as they stay in the body. You see what they're telling you to do.
00:15:16.840 They're either telling you to get frisky with your wife more frequently, which is good advice 1.00
00:15:23.100 if you're struggling with fertility, or what they're saying is you should take matters into
00:15:28.640 your own hands. That's what the scientists, as it were, that the scientists and the media
00:15:36.520 are telling you to do a humiliating and, I shouldn't laugh, a gross, gravely sinful
00:15:46.100 and shameful activity for health. And they do this all the time. Don't they do this all the time?
00:15:53.620 The darkest way they do this is they say that abortion is women's health. If you want to take 0.61
00:15:58.660 care of your health as a woman, you should kill your kid because that's health. They tell you 1.00
00:16:04.420 infertility processes, they'll tell you, well, you know what you really should do if your kid 0.93
00:16:10.160 has a genetic problem or Down syndrome or something, the treatment for that is to kill 1.00
00:16:15.400 your kid. So they do all that. But then it goes further. They'll go out and say, hey, 1.00
00:16:21.540 you know what you need to do? You need to do this thing that Oxford and the media are telling you
00:16:27.820 to do. Or do you remember when monkeypox was spreading in New York? You remember that one?
00:16:32.620 So monkeypox was spreading and Biden hires some satanic like BDSM guy to run the monkeypox office of the White House.
00:16:45.040 He why he may have had some expertise, but I would not be the guy I would pick to prevent monkeypox.
00:16:51.060 And then they could have done one thing.
00:16:52.720 They could have said like, hey, guys, hey, fellas, guys in, you know, San Francisco, New York, cut it out.
00:16:59.200 hey, you know what you could do? Just cut it out or even mostly cut it out and monkeypox would 1.00
00:17:05.080 cease to exist in America. They could have done that in the 80s too, 80s and 90s with the AIDS
00:17:10.460 epidemic. They could have just said like, hey guys, knock it off and probably it's all going
00:17:15.960 to be fine. But no, they have to come up with, no, actually just take these drugs because it's
00:17:21.620 really important for you to, and they do this with transgenderism. It's very important for your
00:17:25.700 health to lop off your healthy sexual organs and to pretend to be the opposite sex. But it's never 0.96
00:17:31.360 true. I've come to the conclusion, I've lived long enough, if your grandma says one thing about
00:17:38.700 health, whether it's about wearing socks in the house, whether it's about not putting too much
00:17:43.700 ice in the water, I don't know, that's kind of an Italian thing, they don't use a lot of ice,
00:17:47.220 whether it's about, I don't know, whatever it is, whether it's about not doing a certain activity
00:17:51.780 that Oxford University wants you to because you'll go blind. Whatever, if it comes down to
00:17:56.720 grandma versus an elite scientist or a mainstream journalist, grandma is always right. Grandma is
00:18:04.500 100% right. And grandma doesn't want you doing that thing that Oxford wants you to do. Have I
00:18:09.260 made my point clear? On the trans issue, I'm speaking at CPAC today. I speak at CPAC every
00:18:16.560 year, but this is three years since I gave what was otherwise a fairly moderate speech.
00:18:23.620 I thought it was fairly well and, I don't know, appropriately reasoned. But this line gets clipped
00:18:33.360 out of it where I said that for the good of society and especially for the good of the poor
00:18:38.240 people who fall in prey to this confusion, transgenderism must be eradicated from public 1.00
00:18:41.800 life entirely. The whole preposterous ideology at every level. I said that. And then Rolling 0.98
00:18:46.740 Stone and the Huffington Post and all these outlets accused me of genocide. It was really
00:18:52.140 bizarre. I don't know. My whole argument was pretty simple. I said either transgenderism 1.00
00:18:55.800 is true or it's not. If it's true, then it's true for everybody, for kids, for babies,
00:18:59.640 you can change your sex. If it's not true, then it's not true for everybody because it's 0.96
00:19:03.900 a claim about human nature. And so if it's not true, which obviously isn't, then we should
00:19:07.900 get rid of it. It's just a crazy ideology. We should get rid of it. And this was so, I was so
00:19:13.340 controversial. I was getting all sorts of threats and calumnies in the paper. And anyway, that was
00:19:19.760 2023, I guess. And I had done a speaking tour before that. That was my first campus speaking
00:19:25.320 tour, Men Are Not Women, Other Uncomfortable Truths. But that was really the moment. And then
00:19:29.600 Matt had his global blockbuster movie a year later, a year, year and a half later, whenever it was,
00:19:35.880 what is a woman, completely blew the lid off that issue. Then the Republican politicians 1.00
00:19:42.980 started passing laws. And now the Olympics has just banned trans athletes. And this is
00:19:49.640 being reported by the Associated Press, which is super duper lib. You know, they're not happy about
00:19:54.280 it, but it's breaking, breaking story. Transgender women, athletes, they still have to use the
00:20:02.780 phrase. Transgender women, which is guys. Guy athletes banned from female Olympic events. By 0.88
00:20:08.720 the new rule, that's what they have to do. Transgender women athletes are now excluded 1.00
00:20:12.660 from women's events at the Olympics after the IOC agreed to a new eligibility policy on Thursday,
00:20:18.680 which aligns with U.S. President Donald Trump's executive order on sports ahead of the LA Olympic
00:20:22.980 Games. Okay, yeah, long time coming. They're trying to blame it on Trump. They're still
00:20:28.500 trying to use these silly terms, the AP, one of the worst offenders, but that's how it goes.
00:20:34.960 The reason I mention this story is not to just go out to the glue factory with a baseball bat and 0.84
00:20:40.780 just beat the dead horse of transgenderism further until I personally turn it into Elmer's glue. 1.00
00:20:48.440 The reason that I mention it is actually the opposite. Conservatives have been talking about
00:20:54.100 this issue for a long time. Some were kind of squishy on it. Some were tougher from the
00:20:58.640 beginning. Now everybody agrees. Now even the liberal politicians. Gavin Newsom, if you catch
00:21:03.700 him in a candid moment, he knows the whole thing's totally nuts and he obviously doesn't support it.
00:21:09.200 That was a big flip and it was fast. It's fast, man. It's a blink of an eye. I know it seems like
00:21:15.920 the transgender wars were a thousand years ago. It's fast. My CPAC speech that elicited death 1.00
00:21:22.520 threats and claims of genocide, that was only three years ago. Matt's movie came out even more
00:21:30.500 recently. You know, it's been so fast. And then we won. And that should give you a little bit of
00:21:40.520 a white pill. We actually can win stuff. This is one of the problems Trump and the Republicans are
00:21:44.680 going to have in November, that he did fix a lot of stuff. He really did deport a lot of people.
00:21:52.140 He really did fix crime in a lot of cities.
00:21:54.140 He was just in Memphis talking about that.
00:21:56.200 He really did fix inflation.
00:21:58.580 And we'll see how inflation moves now
00:22:00.000 with the straight-form moves closed,
00:22:01.080 but he really did fix inflation and the economy.
00:22:04.280 The stock market really did hit record highs.
00:22:07.140 He really did do all that stuff.
00:22:09.720 He really did wind down a number of wars.
00:22:13.520 And then people forget.
00:22:15.920 You forget that three years ago,
00:22:18.140 if you said, I don't think that fellas can be chicks, 1.00
00:22:20.720 you were accused of genocide. That was fast, man. That's a win. I'll take that. Okay. But we 0.99
00:22:26.980 haven't won everything yet because my hometown hockey team, the Nashville Predators have gone
00:22:34.020 gay and worse, they've done it April, May, three months before the pride month. We'll get to that 1.00
00:22:41.000 momentarily first. I want to tell you about PragerU. Go to PragerU.com slash DW. The legacy
00:22:47.840 media hold Americans like us in contempt. Coverage on any issue from immigration to crime
00:22:52.740 accuses you, not the criminals, of being the ones really at fault. But our friends at PragerU will
00:22:57.560 not stand for that kind of nonsense. They promote American values with content they like to call
00:23:01.980 edutainment. That means they teach what matters most in new and creative ways through videos and
00:23:06.780 more. If you ever thought of supporting PragerU, now really is the time to do it. Every dollar you
00:23:11.560 give right now is triple matched for maximum impact. Time is running out. That match opportunity
00:23:16.380 ends March 31st. Some of you may know I've worked with PragerU over the years, written a lot of
00:23:20.760 their five-minute videos, been in a lot of their five-minute videos, hosted the book club at PragerU
00:23:25.860 and continue to host it. So I love it. It's just a wonderful team. They do wonderful work and they
00:23:30.500 do a really, really great job for our country. So right now, give what you can. Head on over to
00:23:35.360 PragerU.com slash DW. Support this important work before it is too late. That is PragerU.com
00:23:42.320 slash dw. Very unfortunate. I go out of town for one night and the Nashville hockey team goes gay. 1.00
00:23:51.020 Preds fans, says Bridgestone Arena, put your paws up, rainbow. We're celebrating pride in
00:23:56.100 Smashville tomorrow. It's like Smashville has a kind of funny image that it evokes when you think
00:24:03.800 about like going to the bars and getting smashed and having some drinks. When they make it a weird
00:24:07.940 sex thing, it's grosser. It's much, anyway, sorry. Rainbow, we're celebrating Pride in Smashville
00:24:14.140 tomorrow night, March 26th, with appearances by Medium Build, The Cow Gaze, Brady Riley, and more.
00:24:23.560 Okay, I won't even get into the replies. It's March. First of all, this should never happen
00:24:30.580 ever. There should be no Pride parades. There should be no Pride celebrations. If people 0.99
00:24:37.380 want to do whatever stuff. It should be kind of out of public eye. We don't need the guys in
00:24:45.600 leather whipping each other on the floats on Main Street. We don't need any of that. That should all
00:24:50.300 be illegal. And frankly, our mores and standards should be such that it shouldn't even have to be
00:24:56.740 illegal. You should be ostracized if you start bringing that stuff to Main Street.
00:25:01.260 The crazy costumes and the obscene behavior. And we don't need that. We don't need the cow gays 1.00
00:25:06.840 doing dances at the state. We don't need that. Okay. Hockey was, I thought hockey was one of the 0.99
00:25:11.940 few remaining heterosexual sports, but, but even that's even beside the point, because if you're
00:25:18.740 going to do it, aren't you supposed to do it in the month? June is supposed to be the month,
00:25:25.940 according to the libs. On the Christian calendar, June is dedicated to the sacred heart of Jesus.
00:25:31.920 On the liberal liturgical calendar, it's dedicated to weird sex stuff.
00:25:37.580 Okay, that's different religions.
00:25:39.420 I guess we don't have an establishment of religion.
00:25:41.220 But that's June.
00:25:42.400 Why?
00:25:42.640 It's March.
00:25:43.880 And you know what's crazy?
00:25:45.580 A lot of people don't know this.
00:25:46.520 There's a second gay month in October. 1.00
00:25:50.120 June is gay pride month or LGBT pride month.
00:25:53.820 October is LGBT history month.
00:25:56.520 I guess to cover all the history of the time since they set up the month, which was only,
00:26:03.960 what, 10 years ago or something? So now there's two. And I said, I said, and I hate to say I
00:26:09.160 told you so on this point. I said, it's not going to, you think it's going to stop there? No.
00:26:13.600 It started with pride day. There used to be a pride day. And then when I was a teenager,
00:26:21.600 I was in New York, a liberal state, it was pride week. It became a week and multiplied by seven. 0.58
00:26:26.520 Seven fold. Then pride month, then pride two months, sixth of a year. Now it's, now we are
00:26:35.340 officially at pride quarter because March is gay now too. And you know what they're going to do?
00:26:41.660 They're going to try to gay up every single month and every single sport, including hockey. 0.99
00:26:48.140 They still want to do that. Like we won, we won on the transgenderism thing. 1.00
00:26:53.060 We won.
00:26:54.000 Support for same-sex marriage actually is decreasing.
00:26:56.740 We won on some of the more traditional mores and social issues.
00:27:00.500 Trump won the popular vote and the Republicans won unified government.
00:27:03.320 But they're waiting.
00:27:04.420 They're just waiting.
00:27:05.920 They're waiting for you to despair or to get lazy or to give up or whatever.
00:27:10.860 They're just waiting.
00:27:12.020 They're salivating to get that power back.
00:27:14.560 They're saying, and by they, I mean the libs.
00:27:17.360 The libs, they're saying, Abigail Spanberger, she's the model in Virginia. 1.00
00:27:21.420 We're going to run as moderates.
00:27:23.080 We know woke is out. 0.98
00:27:24.300 We know the weird gay stuff. 1.00
00:27:25.600 They don't like it. 0.76
00:27:26.260 I know, but we're going to, you know what we're going to do?
00:27:28.700 We're going to run as moderates.
00:27:29.760 And then the minute we get power, we're going to implement the most radically left-wing agenda.
00:27:34.260 And the conservatives, they're all going to just be divided up among themselves.
00:27:38.600 They're going to be following a bunch of podcasters babbling and attacking each other over nothing, over nonsense.
00:27:44.940 They're going to, yeah, that's what they're going to do.
00:27:47.280 They're going to be fighting Trump on issues that are broadly popular with the public.
00:27:50.960 Ah, yes.
00:27:51.600 And then, you know what?
00:27:53.520 We'll come in. 0.98
00:27:54.400 And then every month we'll be gay. 0.95
00:27:56.340 Every month and every sport we'll be gay. 0.95
00:27:59.140 Anyway, that's it. 0.93
00:28:00.800 Don't say it and tell you so.
00:28:02.900 Bookmark that.
00:28:04.600 Now, let's turn away from things not worth celebrating toward things that are worth celebrating.
00:28:09.020 the vice president in the most recent white house cabinet meeting pointing out that there is
00:28:17.100 something that we are supposed to celebrate that's coming up it's not whatever they did
00:28:20.800 at bridgestone arena it is holy week they're fighting at a time where we are about to enter
00:28:28.180 as christians the most important week of the christian calendar the holy week that celebrates
00:28:33.760 the return of jesus christ to jerusalem and so i want to say to all of my fellow american christians
00:28:39.000 but particularly those serving in the Gulf, that I wish you all a very blessed Easter,
00:28:43.860 a very blessed Holy Week, and we continue to stand behind you and continue to support you
00:28:48.420 every step of the way. Thank you, sir. Thank you very much. So simple. So simple. Most people
00:28:55.520 aren't going to notice that. The libs are going to be upset, and they're going to whine about, 1.00
00:28:58.700 I don't know, Christian nationalism or something. They're going to say,
00:29:01.620 the vice president mentioned that it was Easter. This is unacceptable. It's a threat to the
00:29:07.500 separation of church and state. It's an establishment of religion, but it's so simple 0.86
00:29:11.800 and that's all you got to do. That's all I want. If we would just have our public officials,
00:29:19.780 especially our really top level officials, just come out and say, hey guys, we're entering into
00:29:24.920 Holy Week. This is a really important time. We do this for the liberal liturgical calendar
00:29:29.860 all year long. We anticipate, we go to the vigil celebrations for the sacred feast of Martin
00:29:37.100 Luther King or Earth Day or whatever. This is Holy Week. This is the most important time in
00:29:42.920 the Christian calendar. We go over the top to pretend to know or care anything about the Muslim 1.00
00:29:48.960 holidays. That's Ramadan, Eid Mubarak, Hussein Obama, or whatever they say. They go over the
00:29:58.220 top to talk about it for this or that. Now, both political parties, you know, are not exactly the
00:30:04.680 most philo-Semitic. The Republicans are still generally pro-Jews. The Democrats totally hate
00:30:10.620 the Jews. And then part, some, a small number of the right wing doesn't like the Jews. But even 0.98
00:30:14.680 there, they'd say, you know, hey, happy Passover, happy Hanukkah. But you're, for whatever reason,
00:30:20.180 the country that, or the religion that animated the country and actually our whole civilization,
00:30:25.280 that's the one you're not really allowed to talk about. And so I don't think we need to be over the
00:30:28.720 top. I don't want, you know, Doug Burgum walking into the cabinet meeting in a bunny suit,
00:30:34.240 Though it would be fun if it's an Easter egg roll.
00:30:35.720 Sometimes they have cabinet secretaries wear bunny suits.
00:30:38.520 But I'm not saying that.
00:30:39.640 You don't need to be over the top.
00:30:41.560 Actually, it's more powerful when you work religion into your daily life.
00:30:47.340 When it's just a little thing here or there.
00:30:49.180 It's just a little prayer before meals.
00:30:51.100 It's just crossing yourself.
00:30:52.920 It's just maybe stopping in to receive a sacrament, confession, or for a holy hour.
00:30:58.280 It's just praying for a friend.
00:31:00.220 I have a buddy who, whenever we hang up the phone,
00:31:02.300 or I see him, he's like, all right, man, God bless you. He'll just say it. He's a white guy,
00:31:06.600 but he kind of sounds, black ladies do this too. And I really like when they do it and say like, 1.00
00:31:09.620 Hey, how you doing? She'd be like, I'm blessed. You have a blessed day. I like, that's great.
00:31:14.280 Actually, that kind of thing is great. That's what we need more of. It doesn't have to be these
00:31:18.760 over the top, extravagant performances, just people in our public life bringing religion into
00:31:27.120 it. Just bringing it a little, because that's the only way you're going to, you're going to
00:31:31.820 revive religion as a culture is you, you have to see your leaders doing that and you need to see
00:31:36.780 them doing it consistently. Okay. Speaking of that cabinet meeting, there is one clip I really want
00:31:41.560 to get to from it. Also, this is from the president and Doug Burgum actually, coincidentally, where
00:31:46.180 Burgum is updating the president on Venezuela. And here's where the president's focus went.
00:31:54.280 I literally think they're going to put a statue to President Trump and I'm not being, it's
00:32:00.080 not a political statement, it's an actual thing.
00:32:02.160 I hope so, that would be a great honor.
00:32:03.160 No, because it's like they view President Trump like .
00:32:11.440 That flows to American refineries on the Gulf Coast, lowering the price of gas in America.
00:32:16.400 So it's a.
00:32:17.400 Forget that, when are they going to do the statue?
00:32:19.400 love him i love even at the end there he does that little boom it's kind of like that nicholas
00:32:34.380 cage move he just calls on the next reporter but burgum he comes out he says you know they
00:32:38.720 they're they're cooperating in venezuela we took away their leader and then we went to the vice
00:32:44.700 president we put a gun to her head and we said hey you're going to cooperate with us or we're 1.00
00:32:47.740 going to kill you. That's actually what they said. They said it wasn't literally what they said, 1.00
00:32:52.400 but that is what they said. They said, if the vice president, new leader of Venezuela does not
00:32:58.400 cooperate, it will be worse for her than it was for Maduro. Well, Maduro was arrested and is now
00:33:04.680 sitting in solitary confinement. The only thing worse is getting killed. And guess what? She's 0.98
00:33:10.060 cooperating. And so now they say, yeah, they might have a statue to you there, Mr. President. And then
00:33:15.460 I just love it. He just nails it with after Burgum is updating on this very important point that oil
00:33:20.340 is flowing from Venezuela. It's going to American refineries. This is correcting a longstanding
00:33:24.840 wrong. It's good for Americans. It's good to bring down the price of gasoline, oil. And then
00:33:29.740 Trump does the callback. He goes, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's great. But what about the statue?
00:33:39.700 It's just delightful. And there is a purpose to these things. As I've said, there is a purpose
00:33:44.980 to these things. I mentioned it at Memphis. It's the same reason that Antonin Scalia used words
00:33:49.180 like applesauce in his legal descents. It's to get eyes on it, get people listening. The media
00:33:55.380 just don't get this. The libs just don't get this. Burgum says they're going to build a statue 0.66
00:34:02.020 of you, Trump, in Venezuela. That's a wacky, crazy thing. And then Burgum gives this really
00:34:08.260 important nugget of information that's politically very advantageous to Trump and undercuts the
00:34:12.280 Democrats' narratives. And then what happens? Trump does the callback. He draws attention to
00:34:20.000 that moment. And how does he do it? He doesn't draw attention by saying, well, that's really
00:34:23.500 great. Maybe the cost of oil will decrease by a few cents. No, that's not going to get attention.
00:34:29.860 He goes, yeah, yeah. Tell me more about that statue though, huh? So then, well, blasting clip,
00:34:34.600 Trump, narcissist, egotist. He's so obsessed with himself. But guess what? Now we're all 0.99
00:34:39.280 watching that clip about how we're getting Venezuela's oil, something that Trump has wanted
00:34:43.560 to do for ages. He's wanted us to know that he is doing that for ages. It's part of what he's
00:34:50.940 trying to do in Iran, certainly to get the Strait of Hormuz open. And now we can see he does it.
00:34:58.580 I have so much more, so much more to say. Big story. Meta, the Facebook parent company,
00:35:06.080 and YouTube have just been found liable in a social media addiction case. L.A. jury found
00:35:14.140 Zuckerberg and YouTube liable in a social media addiction case. And they awarded someone $3 million
00:35:19.900 in damages. This is a woman who says that as a child, she got hooked on social media,
00:35:25.940 on Instagram and on YouTube. And this worsened her mental health. It didn't give her her mental
00:35:31.480 health problems, but it worsened her mental health. And the jurors deliberated for more than 40 hours
00:35:38.000 across nine days. And they said, yeah, the social media companies are liable. I celebrate this
00:35:44.780 verdict because these companies are too powerful and they've done sketchy things and they've harmed
00:35:48.940 conservatives and the American right, and they need to be regulated. Even though I work with
00:35:52.980 these companies, but sometimes these companies have tried to destroy our business. And anyway,
00:35:56.500 it's a complicated relationship i celebrate the verdict that's great i am a little skeptical of it
00:36:02.200 i don't really first of all i don't really trust a random assortment of los angeles jurors
00:36:08.500 and this will certainly be appealed but i don't the problem is that the tech companies made their
00:36:16.500 products too attractive this is not something like a chemical dependency like cigarette companies
00:36:21.180 not putting warning labels on or something. This is just like the shows were too interesting or
00:36:27.400 the colors were too nice. Anyway, I'm a little skeptical of this verdict. Regardless though,
00:36:31.980 it brings us back to the top of the show. I am much more inclined to live in a country
00:36:36.960 that takes seriously the harms that are being done to its people and the novel harms and the
00:36:45.800 way that actually technology and social changes, whether we're talking about social media or
00:36:50.240 whether we're talking about a bunch of migrants flooding into a country, the way that those
00:36:54.200 things are harming people from the time that they're young to the rest of their life, I much
00:37:01.240 more would rather live in that country than in the country that ignores it, that worsens the 0.90
00:37:08.360 problems, and that thinks that the best way to deal with it is actually just maybe to kill that 0.99
00:37:14.560 person and harvest them for organs. I'll take it. Look, I'll take it, even if it comes from an LA 1.00
00:37:20.420 court. Finally, finally, we're about to get to my favorite time of the week. First, I want to tell
00:37:25.740 you about Pure Talk. Go to puretalk.com slash Knowles, K-N-A-W-L-E-S. I've been working with
00:37:31.320 Pure Talk for a long time, and I wanted to work with a wireless company that shares my values.
00:37:38.080 Pure Talk is veteran-led, so helping veterans is extremely important to them. They've donated
00:37:42.260 over half a million dollars to America's Warrior Partnership, which is a fantastic organization on
00:37:47.160 the front lines of preventing veteran suicide, and Pure Talk's creating American jobs with a
00:37:51.620 U.S.-only workforce. Now, it would be a lot cheaper to send jobs overseas, like other companies do,
00:37:57.200 but they are committed to delivering the best experience possible for their customers. And
00:38:00.840 that's the thing about it. It's the best customer service, for sure. It's the best price you're
00:38:05.600 going to get. It's the best values alignment, certainly. And it's the best service. That's the
00:38:12.560 key. You are getting the same networks, the same towers, the same 5G coverage. It's one of those
00:38:18.100 big guys for a fraction of the price. I love them. It's great. I had them for years. Highly,
00:38:23.000 highly recommend. PureTalk.com slash Knowles. Switch to PureTalk today. PureTalk.com slash Knowles.
00:38:27.460 Switch to my wireless company and America's wireless company, PureTalk.

00:39:07.920 My favorite comment yesterday is from PTSBC941, who says,
00:39:14.560 when I die, grow, oh, this is about the human body composting story.
00:39:20.360 That is new in Oklahoma.
00:39:21.900 They're debating whether or not to allow human bodies to be composted.
00:39:25.040 And this person says, when I die, grow me into a pecan tree so y'all can eat my, I'm not going to finish the sentence. You can use your imagination.

00:39:44.400 greetings michael how would you explain generational wealth to a prospective lady
00:39:49.500 i live in a house built by my father who passed in 2004 due to him passing i hold my mother and
00:39:54.020 her opinions in high regard and have promised that she will die in this house rather than a 0.95
00:39:57.300 hospital bed like my father i will never put her in a home as i recently quit working one to work
00:40:01.840 in construction my siblings have all left and are going to probably let the house fall to ruin if
00:40:05.440 they were the caretaker i don't just live in my mother's basement this will be my basement this
00:40:09.320 is my house i take care of it i'm finishing building it i take care of the landscaping i
00:40:13.020 cook, I clean. This is my home. I would like to share it with somebody, but thus far, they can't
00:40:17.240 seem to get over the fact that I live in my mother's basement. Up until about 80 years ago,
00:40:20.860 we had three and maybe up to four generations in a household, but because I'm 30 years old and live
00:40:24.460 in my mother's basement, there's a huge issue when it comes to that. What is your opinion?
00:40:28.660 One, I love that you spoke very quickly to fit all of that into one minute. That is great. You
00:40:34.740 were obviously a diligent, responsible man, so I appreciate that. That clearly comes out in all
00:40:39.020 the way you cook, you clean, you work, you build the house, and you respect the rules of the
00:40:44.940 mailbag, which is under a minute. That's good. You're in a tough position, and I sympathize
00:40:50.180 with you because I love tradition, and I like old-timey stuff, and I think it's very good
00:40:54.920 if you can take care of aging parents. I think it's nice. I don't like change. I don't like
00:41:02.040 moving. I don't like new stuff. I like old stuff, and I like tradition, and I like staying where I
00:41:08.020 am. I like all those things. But the key here is you said 80 years ago. 80 years ago, it would be
00:41:18.280 normal to have four generations in a house. So why don't women get that? Because that was 80 years 1.00
00:41:23.960 ago. And because we live in the time that we live in. I'm as old timey as I get, but we live in the
00:41:29.660 time that we live in. You mentioned you have other siblings. So when you talk about generational
00:41:33.440 wealth or inheriting the house, I don't know if you have to sort this out, but do your siblings
00:41:37.440 have a claim to the house? Who say this is your house? Will they not be entitled to some of the
00:41:42.380 estate? Are you going to buy them out of the house? It's unclear to me from just what you've
00:41:47.760 described, if you would even get the house. Not to be morbid about it, but it's a little unclear
00:41:53.320 how old your mother is. If your mother is 102 and you say, I'm living with my mother and I'm not
00:42:00.460 going to let her die in a hospital bed, so I'm taking care of her for right now and some lady's 1.00
00:42:05.060 got to figure that out. That's one thing. But if your mother is 50 and she's going to live with 0.81
00:42:11.700 you for 60 years or something, you know, I don't know. But they might cure most forms of aging by
00:42:17.800 the time you get there. You know, your mother lived to 200. But at the very least, I don't know,
00:42:20.740 you can get on 75, 85. I think it's reasonable for a woman to say, well, I don't want to live 1.00
00:42:25.720 with my mother-in-law for 50 years. And you say, well, but I like the idea of multi-generational
00:42:32.500 living. That's great, but I'm not surprised that a woman would disagree. Would you want to live 1.00
00:42:39.200 with your mother-in-law? I don't think so. So I'm not one for clean, neat, pat, you know,
00:42:47.560 ideological answers. I'm a prudence guy. I like making deals. I like making things work.
00:42:57.040 On these kinds of matters, not on moral matters, but on practical matters, everything's a
00:43:01.360 negotiation. But I think it would be good if you can figure out a way to maintain the house for
00:43:05.220 your mother, maybe inherit it yourself or split it with your siblings or however that's going to
00:43:10.680 work, but not let that impede you having a family. And if you can't find a wife
00:43:18.240 in your present situation, you're going to have to figure out a new situation.
00:43:22.800 And one way that people live generationally is by inviting their parents to move in with them
00:43:28.960 when they become too old to live on their own.
00:43:32.440 It's not always just, you know,
00:43:33.640 staying in the same house that grandpa built.
00:43:36.340 It'd be good if you can keep it.
00:43:38.160 I hate all change and I never want to move.
00:43:40.900 I'm with you.
00:43:42.300 But if the good of a family is more important
00:43:47.500 than your desire for these artifacts of your tradition.
00:43:52.280 Okay, next question.
00:43:56.080 Hey, Michael, I love the show.
00:43:57.520 I had a question pertaining to alcohol.
00:43:58.960 I've been with my girlfriend for almost five years, and we are high school sweethearts.
00:44:02.240 She's a big Christian, but ever since she went to college, she has a drink or two whenever she'll hang out with friends or is at a school function, which seems to be an everyday occurrence.
00:44:11.340 I personally hate alcohol.
00:44:12.920 However, I don't really care if others drink.
00:44:14.900 In this instance, though, it feels like she has lost the innocence she used to have, and I don't want my kids growing up around alcohol because of my experience of secondhand family members and the role that it plays in their life.
00:44:24.960 I need some wisdom because I don't mind if she drinks when I'm there to monitor as a man,
00:44:28.560 but I don't want alcohol being the reasoning behind bad decisions being made.
00:44:32.000 Thanks for everything.
00:44:33.500 Well, that's the key, isn't it?
00:44:36.400 It's a good question, and I think a lot of men who have ever had a high school girlfriend
00:44:41.520 can sympathize with you, which is, you say, hold on, ever since she went to college,
00:44:47.060 things are different, and so you're focusing on the alcohol,
00:44:50.900 but it's not really the alcohol, right?
00:44:52.320 Because you say, what do you say? She has a drink or two. A drink or two is not going to do very
00:44:55.960 much. You say, well, hold on. I don't mind if she has a drink or two when I'm there,
00:44:59.880 but I don't want her making any bad decisions. I don't, you know, alcohol is a little bit of
00:45:04.060 a social lubricant. I don't want her to socialize with any fellows over there. So that's really
00:45:07.660 what the issue is about. It doesn't seem to me that there's any evidence of problem drinking,
00:45:13.380 right? I don't know. Who knows? Maybe that could develop and you could have a conversation with
00:45:17.060 But really, I think the issue is you don't like that she is at school in these situations where you are not.
00:45:25.140 And so you're trying to reduce any way in which, you know, things could get out of your control.
00:45:31.760 So you're trying to tighten that grip, but I don't think that's going to work.
00:45:34.260 One, it's not, it's not, the argument you're making about alcohol isn't persuasive.
00:45:39.380 She's not waking up and having a glass of vodka and, you know, waking up, passed out in a gutter or something like that.
00:45:44.420 she's having a drink over dinner or something. But two, the issue is deeper. That's what you
00:45:52.060 have to sort out. You can make it about alcohol or your family's experience with alcohol or whatever,
00:45:57.120 but that's only papering over the issue. And I don't think you'll persuade her anyway.
00:46:03.140 I think you got to get to the real issue. I want to get to more, but Professor Jacob tells me I
00:46:09.140 can't. I got to go. I got to go to CPAC. Okay, well, if you're at CPAC, maybe I'll see you there.
00:46:15.480 It's in Texas this year. It's not in D.C. That's kind of weird. But if you're down there, I'll
00:46:20.340 catch you there. Otherwise, I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show. There's no
00:46:24.440 membrum segmentum today. The membrum segmentum will be from the stage of CPAC, and I will see you
00:46:29.380 on Monday.
00:46:39.140 Thank you.
