The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1946 - EASTER MIRACLE： American Airman Rescued From Iran

00:00:00.000 An American airman was shot down in Iran on Good Friday.

00:00:04.160 The message that he radioed out to call for his rescue was, quote,

00:00:09.000 God is good.

00:00:11.040 He hid out in a 7,000 foot mountain,

00:00:14.820 seven being the number of divine completion,

00:00:16.740 and he was rescued seven hours after the start of the rescue mission

00:00:20.900 before dawn on Easter Sunday.

00:00:24.740 Good Friday, he goes down, Easter Sunday, he's rescued.

00:00:28.780 And the atheists will still say that that is all meaningless.

00:00:32.600 We will get to this amazing mission, as well as to President Trump's Easter message praising Allah

00:00:38.420 and the undeniable Christian Reconquista of the popular culture.

00:00:44.040 On this very happy Easter Monday, I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:08.460 ICE and Border Patrol have arrested and removed from America

00:01:12.180 the niece and grandniece of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani.

00:01:17.760 The niece and grandniece apparently hated America, referred to America as Satan.

00:01:22.060 They've now been deported, leading to the question,

00:01:24.700 how did General Soleimani's niece and grandniece get into America?

00:02:49.600 I'll give you the brief version of this story. Details are still coming out about this amazing rescue operation in Iran.

00:02:57.740 One of the most incredible rescue missions we've ever seen in American history, if not the very most amazing.

00:03:03.780 This is a plane that was shot down in Iran on Good Friday. The pilot was found immediately. He survived. He was found.

00:03:13.200 but there was a weapons systems officer who was pretty seriously injured, but who was not found

00:03:19.440 right away. And then the clock was ticking because the Iranians put out a $60,000 bounty on his head.

00:03:25.520 $60,000 is 10 times the annual income in Iran. And so you had not just the IRGC and the Iranian

00:03:32.400 military going after this guy, but you had locals, you had tribesmen, you had ordinary people who

00:03:38.480 trying to get the 60 grand. So everyone trying to get this guy, the Americans trying to keep

00:03:42.940 the enemy forces off this guy, he hid out in a mountain in a 7,000 foot mountain. And this number

00:03:49.080 seven is important because it's the number of divine completion. It takes God seven days to

00:03:53.680 create the world, uh, seven days in a week. Uh, seven is very significant. So he's hiding out in

00:04:01.680 the Zagros mountains, climbs a 7,000 foot ridge, and he's hanging there for 36 hours with just a

00:04:07.820 handgun for defense. Whenever the Iranians start to get within a couple of miles of where he is,

00:04:16.300 apparently our drones were just zapping them. But nevertheless, that's pretty dangerous because

00:04:20.700 if you keep zapping all the people around this guy, then that means the enemy forces know where

00:04:25.200 the guy is, which is why the CIA had to run a diversion op. They ran a kind of like a fake

00:04:32.160 rescue for this guy. They planted fake intel that he had already been rescued, that he was being

00:04:38.520 driven out of Iran. And then there was this daylight operation Sunday morning involving

00:04:44.860 dozens of aircraft, MQ-9 Reaper drones. They provided the protective perimeter and they get

00:04:52.500 this guy out. And there were no U.S. casualties during his rescue. So according to a U.S. military

00:05:00.460 official familiar with the operation. The U.S. Air Force had to use multiple bombs to blow up

00:05:05.180 all the aircraft they abandoned at the airstrip. They created an airstrip just for this operation,

00:05:11.340 then blew up hundreds of millions of dollars worth of American military equipment,

00:05:16.060 all to get this one guy out, this guy who goes down on Good Friday,

00:05:20.900 radios and says, God is good, goes up 7,000 feet, rescue operation initiated,

00:05:25.700 seven hours later, Easter Sunday, he's rescued. And atheists will still say that's all just a

00:05:33.660 coincidence. The thing you have to ask yourself, what is most interesting about this story to me

00:05:38.660 is not the military prowess, though it's amazing. We have the greatest military force ever in the

00:05:43.640 history of the world. That's beyond dispute. Even our enemies would admit it. What's most

00:05:49.000 impressive to me is the significance, all those symbols that I just mentioned. And so the question

00:05:54.780 I have to ask you is, is that really significant? Is it significant that the guy was shot down on

00:06:04.520 Good Friday, the day of Christ's resurrection and rescued, sorry, the day of Christ's crucifixion

00:06:09.780 and rescued Easter Sunday, the day of Christ's resurrection? Is that significant? Does that mean

00:06:14.480 anything? Does the fact that he radioed God is good when he was basically hopeless,

00:06:21.400 does that mean anything does it mean anything what modern people even some quasi-religious

00:06:29.460 people are going to say is no not really no look it's a that's a weird coincidence isn't it

00:06:34.600 but no it the only reason it seems like it has meaning is because we impose meaning on it

00:06:40.180 these events happen and then we read into those events meaning really apply this to the rest of

00:06:48.380 history. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, two men who kind of hated each other, but they were also

00:06:53.280 kind of, they were frenemies. The second and third president of the United States,

00:07:01.300 men of the revolution, were, they died on the same day, 50 years after the revolution.

00:07:08.520 They died on the 4th of July. They died on the 4th of July, 50 years after the Declaration of

00:07:13.780 independence. They died within hours of each other. Is that significant? Does that mean anything?

00:07:19.960 Christ is born within the confines of the Roman Empire. He's known as the son of God. He is born

00:07:26.440 while the son of the divine, Caesar Augustus, is reigning on the throne. He's called the son of

00:07:32.760 the divine because when Julius Caesar died, a comet that was flying through the air was understood to

00:07:38.160 be Caesar being deified, going up to the heavens. And so Augustus was called the son of the divine,

00:07:45.980 Filius Divi. Christ is called Filius Dei, son of God. Both are known as prince of peace.

00:07:52.860 They inaugurate peaceful eras, the Pax Romana on earth and the eternal peace.

00:07:59.000 Is that just mere coincidence? I don't think so. Probably in your own life,

00:08:05.760 you've had these little weird glimpses of what seems numinous, what seems like more than

00:08:12.460 coincidence, what seems like providence. It seems like there's an order to the world.

00:08:16.620 It seems like things happen for a reason. You've probably seen that. You know, a relative dies,

00:08:22.300 and some special thing associated with that relative pops up. Everyone has these experiences.

00:08:28.980 In fact, we all act as though the world has meaning. So I guess my takeaway from this story

00:08:35.720 this amazing story that everybody's going to be talking about today,

00:08:38.740 this unbelievable rescue of this pilot, or of this weapons systems officer in Iran.

00:08:46.220 If that has meaning, which it obviously does,

00:08:50.320 that means that there is an intelligence that comes before our intelligence.

00:08:56.040 That means that there is an order to the universe that is outside of us.

00:09:01.700 That means that there is an objective truth that we should feel impelled to align ourselves with.

00:09:08.760 It means that there's something more than our own will and our own desires.

00:09:13.100 That is part of the miraculous part of the story, is what it tells us about our own lives.

00:09:20.000 Really, really magnificent stuff.

00:09:21.500 Okay, now, speaking of Iran and President Trump's operations, President Trump marked Easter by tweeting out, do I have the tweet?

00:09:28.960 Yes, here's the tweet from President Trump.

00:09:38.260 Tuesday will be power plant day and bridge day all wrapped up in one in Iran.

00:09:44.020 There will be nothing like it.

00:09:45.820 Open the effing straight, you crazy bastards, or you'll all be living in hell.

00:09:51.020 Just watch.

00:09:52.420 Praise be to Allah, President Donald J. Trump.

00:09:55.840 i love it i am wearing i'm in washington right now i'm gonna i'm gonna be at the white house

00:10:02.700 easter egg roll in a moment with my boys very exciting and i'm wearing a little political

00:10:07.680 artifact this is a tie from the first trump term and if you can if you look in really closely it's

00:10:14.460 little white houses and little twitter birds that's the and it the the tweets really define

00:10:20.400 the Trump era. And this is one for the history books. There are people on the right,

00:10:27.460 putatively on the right, even sincerely on the right, who have a big problem with this tweet.

00:10:31.360 Trump is threatening war crimes. How could he talk about Allah on Easter? He's lost it. He's

00:10:38.400 out of control. 10 years in, they still don't get it. Look at this tweet again.

00:10:46.200 Tuesday will be power plant date, meaning he's going to blow up the power plants.

00:10:50.000 He's tried not to do that so far.

00:10:51.600 He says, I only want to destroy the Iranian military, but I don't want to totally destroy

00:10:55.500 their country because I want to give them the ability to rebuild once they either replace

00:10:59.680 their regime or align their regime closer to American interests.

00:11:04.580 Then he says, look, you don't want to make a deal.

00:11:06.320 OK, Tuesday is power plant day and bridge day.

00:11:08.700 I'm going to blow up all your bridges all wrapped up in one in Iran.

00:11:11.380 There's going to be nothing like it.

00:11:13.020 And then in case you don't get what he's asking for, he tells you directly.

00:11:16.840 open the effing he says he doesn't just say effing he says the real word but this is a

00:11:21.700 family show so we don't open the effing straight you crazy bastards or you'll be living in hell

00:11:27.520 just watch praise be to Allah President Donald J. Trump so this tweet is three things

00:11:35.320 and it's the opposite of what everyone's saying it is people say this isn't funny

00:11:40.760 this isn't funny first of all stop stop it I don't care how much you hate Trump I don't care

00:11:46.120 how much you've been radicalized. It's very funny. This is very funny. This might be the

00:11:54.340 funniest tweet ever sent. Even if you hate it, even if you think it's going to bring on World

00:11:57.860 War III, come on. It's hilarious. But then what they say is, this is Trump acting emotionally.

00:12:02.900 He's a madman. He's a tyrant drunk with power. No. Again, you could say, I don't like the tweet.

00:12:09.220 I don't like the war in Iran. I don't like the threats. We've now ended the five weeks of war

00:12:13.300 in Iran. So obviously we're in week six. That's when people are starting to get concerned. Trump

00:12:17.280 said it was going to last about five weeks. Now we're in week six. They want to wrap this up.

00:12:20.740 Even if you hate the war, this tweet is not reckless. It's not impetuous. Obviously this

00:12:26.200 is a disciplined tweet. You know the proof that this is a disciplined tweet? That second to last

00:12:31.500 line, praise be to Allah. So it sounds like, I'm going to blow this up. I'm going to blow that up.

00:12:38.300 You effing dirty jerks. I'm going to blow you all up. You're going to live in hell.

00:12:41.800 praise be to Allah. The praise be to Allah is the signal that this was not written in a fit of rage.

00:12:48.480 The praise be to Allah is a dry joke. He's not actually giving praise to Allah. He's mocking

00:12:54.640 their religion. He is mocking even the kind of diction that you get out of Iran. Trump is,

00:13:00.960 in this tweet, speaking their language. When the Ayatollah, RIP, when the Ayatollah used to say,

00:13:08.240 you know, death to America, the great Satan will go down, the little Satan will be destroyed in

00:13:12.980 Israel, and the great Satan will go down, and destruction will rain down. Trump is mocking

00:13:18.960 that kind of diction. And he's telling you he's doing that by mocking their religion, basically,

00:13:24.600 saying, praise be to Allah, open the strait, or I'm going to destroy your whole country.

00:13:27.500 And then finally, the last thing that this tweet is, though we'll see how much it is,

00:13:34.260 is effective. I don't mean that the tweet is going to end the Iran war. I don't mean that

00:13:39.120 the tweet is going to open the straight-of-war moves. It might. The reason that the tweet is

00:13:43.040 effective is because you don't know if he's serious or not. That's the reason.

00:13:49.980 The reason the tweet is effective is because people, including people who are putatively on

00:13:54.400 his own side, think that he's totally lost it and he's going to start glassing Iran and nuking

00:13:59.480 civilian centers. That's why it's effective, because Trump's greatest strength in foreign

00:14:04.220 policy is unpredictability. Now, what we do know, this part is predictable, is the five weeks are up.

00:14:12.240 People are starting to get concerned, including plan trusters, including people who are not

00:14:16.720 panic-ins. They're starting to get concerned because they don't want this war to go on for

00:14:19.880 two months or three months or through the midterms or for 10 years. They want this thing to be wrapped

00:14:26.140 up. I think Trump probably wants this to be wrapped up. He clearly wants out. And so the

00:14:31.000 question is, how's he going to do it? How is he going to get Iran to the negotiating table?

00:14:35.160 He can bring people to the negotiating table, and if they cross him, he can kill them and move to

00:14:38.820 the next guy. He's doing that, but he wants this to move faster. And so now he starts speaking

00:14:43.360 their language. The tweet may or may not work to end the war, but it's very funny, it's very

00:14:52.580 disciplined and it's very effective as a negotiating matter. That part is beyond

00:14:57.220 dispute. If you have a problem with that, man, I don't know, politics just isn't for you. Okay,

00:15:01.800 speaking of tweets, Zoran Mamdani of New Yorkistan, Zoran Mamdani sent out an Easter tweet

00:15:08.980 that was a lot better than his Good Friday tweet. And it tells you a lot about the big cultural

00:15:12.860 news story, which is that everybody is getting baptized. Now, speaking of baptisms, I want to

00:15:19.220 tell you about Preborn. Go to preborn.com slash Knowles. A lot of good movements in the culture.

00:15:25.000 We're seeing a return to tradition, a return to faith, but the odds are still pretty rough

00:15:32.300 out there, okay? The truth is often silenced in our culture. That silence has a cost. Right now,

00:15:37.840 women facing unexpected pregnancies are bombarded with pressure and fear before they ever have a

00:15:42.740 chance to pause, to breathe, or to hear the truth about life and hope. That is why, one of the many

00:15:47.780 reasons why I stand with our sponsor, Preborn. At every Preborn Network clinic, a woman is welcomed

00:15:52.660 with compassion and given a free ultrasound. In that sacred moment, she sees what she's never

00:15:57.480 seen before, the life within her. Fear fades, clarity dawns, and she has offered something

00:16:02.200 the abortion industry will never give, which is the hope of Jesus Christ. This April, Preborn aims

00:16:06.800 to share that hope in 11,000 gospel conversations across their clinics. You can make that happen.

00:16:11.960 For 28 bucks, she can sponsor one ultrasound. When a woman sees her baby for the first time

00:16:15.440 an ultrasound, it increases the chance that she chooses life 80%, okay? Every dollar you give to

00:16:21.200 pre-born is going to go towards saving babies. They fundraise for their admin costs separately.

00:16:25.540 This is an amazing investment. I strongly recommend you give what you can. To donate,

00:16:29.300 I'll pound 250, say keyword baby. That's pound 250, keyword baby, or go to pre-born.com slash

00:16:33.720 knolls, pre-born.com slash knolls. Zoran Mamdani, the Muslim communist mayor of New York,

00:16:42.080 got in hot water on Friday. I don't even know if we have the Good Friday tweet. I saw it. I was

00:16:48.180 very angry about it. He tweets out. He says, today, many people mark a day of sacrifice,

00:16:55.260 and some will abstain from food. Some will abstain from speaking. Abstain from speaking?

00:17:01.600 Is that a thing on Good Friday? You don't speak? Maybe before you pray, you go to church for a

00:17:05.560 little bit. What are you talking about? I don't know. He didn't know. But it's a day of sacrifice.

00:17:09.400 and I hated that tweet

00:17:11.500 because that's not what Good Friday marks

00:17:13.380 you know what Good Friday marks

00:17:14.440 Good Friday marks the conquest

00:17:17.600 of death on the cross

00:17:19.540 by Jesus Christ

00:17:22.040 who is not a

00:17:23.600 generalization, he's not an

00:17:25.600 idea, he's not a vague

00:17:27.400 sentiment, he's a man

00:17:29.160 who also happens to be God

00:17:30.900 that's what Good Friday marks

00:17:33.080 it does not mark some vague

00:17:35.280 generality that Zoran Mamdani

00:17:37.460 can kind of ambiguous

00:17:39.260 wave his hands at. It marks a real historical event, and the most significant historical event

00:17:46.060 in the history of the world. The turning point of history, when Christ conquers death on the cross.

00:17:52.880 He is resurrected on the third day, in accordance with the scriptures, and as the sign that he has

00:17:58.740 conquered death on the cross. But the cross is the axle on which the world turns. The whole cosmos

00:18:03.320 sterns. And it's a man who does it. A man who happens to be God. So I hated the Mamdani tweet.

00:18:10.640 Some Christians said, oh, it's nice. He's kind of acknowledging the day. Not good enough. Sorry.

00:18:15.720 Say nothing at all if you're not going to say what it's really about. But anyway, Zoran got

00:18:19.120 the message because on Easter, he tweets out, happy Easter, New York. Today, millions of New

00:18:23.100 Yorkers celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the victory of hope over despair and

00:18:27.020 faith over fear. Yeah, that's more like it, Zoran. Do you remember there was that shooting at a

00:18:33.300 church. And I think, was it Muslims were attacking the church? I don't even remember. There's so

00:18:39.940 many of these incidents. But Hillary Clinton referred to the Christians there, the congregants,

00:18:44.320 as Easter worshipers. They're Easter worshipers. No, they're not worshiping Easter. They're

00:18:49.320 worshiping Jesus Christ because they're Christians. They don't want to say that name. Zoran didn't

00:18:53.740 want to say the name on Friday. Now he's saying it. Happy Easter, New York. Today, New Yorkers

00:18:59.880 celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Then he goes on. As the air warms and cherry blossoms

00:19:04.800 begin to bloom, this holy day is a sacred time to pause and reflect on a season of rebirth.

00:19:08.540 Good. Whether you spend this day singing in pews, parading down Fifth Avenue,

00:19:13.500 joining a processional guided by the bamboo trumpets of Haitian rah-rah music,

00:19:18.900 or hunting for painted eggs amidst the spring grass, I wish every New Yorker a joyous day.

00:19:22.840 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on, what did you just say?

00:19:25.580 Oh, I just said if you're parading down Fifth Avenue. No, no, no, after that. Oh, no, I said if you're painting eggs. No, no, no, before that, what was the Haitian rah-rah bamboo what? He can't help himself. He can't help himself. He has to get in some lib nonsense that no one's ever heard of.

00:19:45.680 I googled it. It's some weird thing that Haitian slaves used to do before they launched the voodoo

00:19:51.120 revolution and slaughtered all the white people on the island and became the worst country in

00:19:56.200 the world ever since, just for an absolutely cursed, awful country. Anyway, though some

00:20:03.320 Haitians are good people. Bamboo trumpets of rah-rah. Is that what you do? You remember?

00:20:08.800 You think, I've got my Easter bonnet, my bamboo, and my rah-rah to have a Haitian parade.

00:20:16.420 No, you never, you didn't do that.

00:20:17.580 Whatever, whatever, whatever.

00:20:19.300 He goes on.

00:20:20.600 Let us all embrace this holiday's spirit of hope and renewal as we build the city and the world that we deserve.

00:20:26.320 You know what I love most about that tweet?

00:20:29.680 Zoran had to send it.

00:20:31.900 He didn't want to send it.

00:20:33.680 He was forced to send it.

00:20:35.760 We know he didn't want to send it because we have his Good Friday tweet.

00:20:40.920 Good Friday, the most solemn day in the Christian liturgical calendar,

00:20:46.520 about the day that Christ sacrificed himself to redeem mankind,

00:20:50.780 he refuses to mention Jesus.

00:20:53.860 And then he changes his tune two days later.

00:20:56.700 Why?

00:20:57.860 Because of the outcry.

00:20:59.440 Because of the pressure.

00:21:00.620 because it would hurt his political prospects if he didn't mention Christ on Easter.

00:21:06.760 I don't want to be uncharitable here and read cynicism, but come on, I have the Good Friday

00:21:13.060 tweet. I'm just being rational here. He got forced into it. And you know what? That's fine.

00:21:17.620 Hypocrisy is a tribute vice pays to virtue. I'm cool with it. In fact, I'm happier about it.

00:21:22.220 Look, for Zoran Mamdani's soul, I hope that he is Christian. I hope that's good for him.

00:21:27.320 But as a political matter, I don't really care about him sending the tweet out of the goodness of his heart or his true sentiment.

00:21:35.300 I like that the political conditions are such right now that Christianity is back.

00:21:41.720 And if you want to be a successful politician, a successful public figure, it actually helps you to support Christianity.

00:21:49.280 That was true for basically all of American history.

00:21:52.460 But for the last 20 years, 25 years, that has not helped you.

00:21:57.980 In fact, people had to downplay their Christianity.

00:22:01.120 Christianity was seen as stupid and backwards and oppressive and all the opposite of what it really is.

00:22:09.040 And now we're back.

00:22:09.780 You want to know the proof positive of this?

00:22:12.660 A true Easter miracle happened yesterday.

00:22:14.880 Forget about the rescue in Iran.

00:22:16.640 Google, in the Google Doodle, referenced Easter.

00:22:20.900 Do we have the Google doodle? We do. Now, of course, there's no Christianity. There's no cross. There's no empty tomb. There's no none of it. Look, baby steps. It just said Google spelled out in little Easter eggs in little egg cups, little, you know, kind of cups. Google. Now, why should this be Easter? It's the most significant event of the Christian liturgical calendar.

00:22:44.600 Surely, you know, Google puts up little doodles almost every day for some nonsense birthday that you've never heard of.

00:22:53.740 For, you know, National Pygmy Muslim Day in Zimbabwe.

00:22:58.800 But they don't, surely they would put something up for Easter, right?

00:23:02.500 No.

00:23:03.440 The last time that Google had a doodle that referenced Easter was 26 years ago.

00:23:10.680 It was the year 2000.

00:23:12.260 It was right after Google was founded.

00:23:14.600 That was the last time, because Google is extremely left-wing and deeply anti-Christian.

00:23:21.680 So why are they putting up the Google Doodle Easter eggs now?

00:23:25.960 They would reference the craziest things on Christian holidays.

00:23:30.740 Oh, today was actually the birthday of the 24-year-old Sumerian beat poet, click-clack Abedengo.

00:23:43.020 You say, I thought it was Christmas. No, no, no. The more important thing to remember is the slam poetry of MX, they, them, Abidingo. That's what they would do like every year. And now they have to put up the Easter eggs. Why?

00:23:58.620 Why? Because the people expect it, and the people demand it.

00:24:05.700 Baptisms are up. Confirmations are up all over the country, specifically among Catholics.

00:24:13.140 But it is a part of a broader religious trend.

00:24:15.660 If you've been looking at social media, you've probably seen it, but it's backed up by data from specific parishes.

00:24:20.720 Even CNN has to admit it. We'll get to that in a second.

00:25:33.640 See representative for warranty details. Lest you think it's wish casting, we say, oh, religion's

00:25:40.020 back, Christianity's back, Catholicism in particular is back. Lest you think it's just wish casting,

00:25:43.880 I turn to CNN. There's a new and somewhat unexpected story emerging inside American

00:25:51.120 churches, not decline, but growth. According to the New York Times, Catholic dioceses across the

00:25:56.840 country are reporting a sharp increase in adult conversions, with some seeing their highest

00:26:01.620 numbers in years. In Detroit, more than 1,400 new Catholics expected this Easter, a 21-year high.

00:26:08.180 In Washington, nearly 1,800 will join, also up from last year. And it's not just happening in

00:26:13.580 one region. The Times reports this trend is showing up in large and small dioceses alike.

00:26:19.420 Meanwhile, the Washington Post takes us inside one parish in New York City, where attendance

00:26:23.620 has jumped 20% in just the last six months with services now so packed that people are turned

00:26:29.320 away at the door. And this is not limited to Catholicism. According to another New York

00:26:34.580 Times report, Orthodox Christian churches also seeing a surge with priests describing record

00:26:40.400 numbers of new converts, many of them young men. So across different traditions, a similar pattern

00:26:46.160 is emerging. Even CNN is admitting that religion is on the rise specifically among the youth.

00:26:53.620 And do you know why? Because the gods of the copybook headings come back. Do you know that

00:27:00.860 poem? I think I read it on the show before. This is by Rudyard Kipling. The poem goes,

00:27:05.800 as I pass through my incarnations in every age and race, I make my proper prostrations to the

00:27:11.980 gods of the marketplace. Peering through reverent fingers, I watch them flourish and fall. And the

00:27:16.920 gods of the copybook headings, I notice outlast them all. We are living in trees when they met

00:27:22.020 us. They showed us each in turn that water would certainly wet us as fire would certainly burn.

00:27:27.680 But we found them lacking in uplift, vision and breadth of mind. So we left them to teach the

00:27:32.240 gorillas while we followed the march of mankind. Goes on, it's a little bit longer. I'll just get

00:27:37.160 to the last little bit here. Then the gods of the market tumbled. Look at these false gods that we

00:27:42.540 followed, the gods of preference and desire and public opinion. They tumbled and their smooth

00:27:47.620 tongued wizards withdrew. And the hearts of the meanest were humbled and began to believe it was

00:27:51.580 true, that all is not gold that glitters, and two and two make four, and the gods of the copybook

00:27:56.940 headings limped up to explain it once more. As it will be true in the future, it was at the birth

00:28:03.680 of man. There are only four things certain since social progress began, that the dog returns to

00:28:09.040 his vomit and the sow returns to her mire, and the burnt fool's bandaged finger goes wobbling back

00:28:13.980 to the fire, and that after this is accomplished and the brave new world begins, when all men are

00:28:19.180 paid for existing, and no men must pay for his sins, as surely as water will wet us, as surely

00:28:24.300 as fire will burn, the gods of the copybook headings with terror and slaughter return.

00:28:28.640 What this is about, lest you need just a little English class on this, though I think most people

00:28:35.260 will get the meaning, is that those little moral maxims you used to write in your notebooks,

00:28:39.160 people used to be taught, they're not even taught that in school anymore,

00:28:42.460 those aren't just sentiment, those aren't just social constructs, those aren't just the fads

00:28:46.220 of any given age. Those are the eternal moral rules. Those are the eternal facts of life.

00:28:51.200 And we try to pretend they don't matter. And we try to reinvent the world. We try to change the

00:28:56.500 world. And it doesn't work because the reality reasserts itself in the end. And so we're talking

00:29:04.640 about the gods of the copybook headings. These are these lower gods of the kind of natural laws,

00:29:09.040 moral laws. God himself returns. Do you know why? Because man is a religious creature.

00:29:15.740 and man has a natural longing for God

00:29:19.360 and God is ultimately our only satisfaction.

00:29:22.580 God is our only satisfaction

00:29:23.980 because we're physical creatures in part.

00:29:27.760 So water satisfies us,

00:29:29.480 may flower cigars satisfy us,

00:29:31.280 candy satisfies us,

00:29:32.520 sex satisfies us.

00:29:33.860 We have these natural longings,

00:29:35.160 but we're also immaterial.

00:29:36.880 We're also souls.

00:29:37.880 We're also mind.

00:29:38.720 We're also rational cognitive power.

00:29:42.060 And because of that,

00:29:43.340 material goods can't satisfy that.

00:29:45.100 So it's this, the libs kind of view this as a curse. We desire more than we can possibly have.

00:29:52.080 Oh, isn't this the curse, the tragedy of mankind? We desire eternal life, but we die.

00:29:57.020 We desire the infinite, the eternal, but we're fixed in the finite. Oh, cursed existence.

00:30:04.000 What a tale told by an idiot full of sound and fury signifying nothing. Signifying nothing. Notice

00:30:08.660 that from Macbeth. Signifying nothing. We're talking about what, if there's meaning in the

00:30:14.020 world. There's meaning in that rescue. But the libs are totally wrong about everything, but

00:30:18.160 especially about this, because God does exist, because he has offered us eternal life. That's

00:30:23.160 the sign of Easter. You know, Christ says in the Gospels, a wicked generation seeks a sign,

00:30:28.700 and to that generation no sign will be given, none but the sign of Jonah. The sign of Jonah

00:30:32.780 is Jonah going down in the belly of the whale for three nights and being resurrected. Christ

00:30:38.060 going down, harrowing hell, being resurrected on the third day. That's the sign. You can have

00:30:41.920 eternal life. That's the sign. You can do it. There is a satisfaction. Young people in particular

00:30:50.400 are getting this right now. Older people are getting this to some degree. CNN is scratching

00:30:55.740 its head. It can't figure it out, but does at least acknowledge that it's happening.

00:31:01.060 The eternal questions remain. And there are eternal solutions, too. You just have to acknowledge

00:31:05.120 their existence. Okay. You have to acknowledge their existence and then cooperate with God's

00:31:09.260 grace to achieve them. Speaking of related shifts, really, really good news. Gen Z women

00:31:16.520 want to be trad wives. They just do. They just want to be trad wives. And the libs are very

00:31:21.440 upset about this. Here is Vice Magazine, kind of hipster lib magazine. Gen Z women are obsessed

00:31:28.220 with becoming trad wives, according to Edu Birdie. Here's how Gen Z women rank their dream lives

00:31:33.000 based on four popular role models, including trad wives. So I'll just read a little bit of it. It's

00:31:38.240 a really good article, worth reading, very satisfying. The millennials were the girl boss

00:31:44.280 era. And it's very sad because I'm a millennial. Many of my friends, many of my best friends are

00:31:49.060 millennials, even millennial women. And millennial women really screwed up their lives and they were

00:31:54.080 led into delusion by their teachers and in some cases by their parents. They were told to not

00:31:59.520 have families, to have casual sex, to go just follow a career, to ignore most of the things

00:32:07.660 that really matter. And Gen Z, they're not the girl bosses. According to Vice, while the girl

00:32:14.680 boss era might not be fully over, it's shifted a bit, especially among Gen Zers who have redefined

00:32:19.800 the meaning of success. In fact, a new study by Eduberti found that 47% of Gen Z women would

00:32:27.280 choose a stable traditional life over luxury, money, and fame. 47%, which is not a majority,

00:32:32.580 but it is a plurality. That's the largest grouping of women in that cohort. Around 23 percent still

00:32:39.060 want to be girl bosses, according to the study. They aim for independence, success, even fame,

00:32:43.900 and they will prioritize their careers over relationships or marriage. But here's the key.

00:32:49.280 Here's the part of the article most people are going to miss. Gen Z simply measures power

00:32:53.240 differently by how much you can afford to not hustle. Alex Zinko states, one of the people

00:32:58.800 interviewed here. Therefore, traditional wives and girl bosses are not so far removed from each

00:33:04.800 other these days. Their core values are often similar. So first of all, first of all, the fact

00:33:10.500 that women want to be trad wives, this is understood to be some shocking claim. My family members and

00:33:14.540 friends said, this is shocking. I can't believe this, that women want to be trad wives. Our

00:33:20.100 generation fought against that to liberate women from being trad wives. This is so weird. It's not

00:33:24.200 weird. It's not weird. This is what women naturally want. I'm not saying all women.

00:33:29.440 There are exceptions. There's the Margaret Thatcher exception. I know women like this.

00:33:35.060 I know women who are really not best suited to be trad wives, but there are very few of them.

00:33:42.180 Margaret Thatcher is the exception, not the rule. She's an exceptional woman,

00:33:45.260 but she's the exception, not the rule. Most women want to be wives and mothers.

00:33:51.880 It's just natural.

00:33:52.900 Think about this.

00:33:54.440 Think about if it were flipped.

00:33:55.640 If men were told for decades that they should really want to be stay-at-home dads,

00:34:00.640 they shouldn't want to go out to work, they shouldn't want to bring home the bacon,

00:34:04.100 they shouldn't want to go lead in public life,

00:34:06.320 they should just want to be stay-at-home dads,

00:34:08.400 Gucci-gooing their babies and feeding them their bottles and changing their diapers

00:34:11.800 and keeping home, managing the home economy even, cooking, cleaning, nurturing.

00:34:17.280 ring. When the wife comes home from work, you say, oh, honey, let me get you your pipe and

00:34:21.760 your slippers. I don't know. I'm mixing up eras. But let's say men were told that that's what they

00:34:28.360 should want, that that's what they need to want for decades. Would you be surprised if 20, 30

00:34:34.880 years later, men started to say, you know what? This really isn't for me. I don't feel like I'm

00:34:41.500 that good at this. I don't naturally want to do this kind of stuff. I'd really like to go out and

00:34:46.640 like hunt or work or bring home the bacon or like go, I want to go do something. I'm not that

00:34:52.340 nurturing. I don't totally. Would you be surprised? No, of course not. He's like, yeah, that was crazy

00:34:58.520 to try to get the man to wear an apron. Again, sometimes it happens. Just like there's the

00:35:04.140 Margaret Thatcher exception, there is the stay-at-home dad exception. Friends of mine have

00:35:08.380 done that. In rare instances, that can work. But the general rule is what we see. And

00:35:16.320 And the key part of this article, which you get there at the very end, is that this isn't even really a battle of desires so much as it is a misunderstanding of how to best attain desires.

00:35:35.240 Think about the girl boss and the trad wife.

00:35:39.640 What do they want?

00:35:41.900 Do they want totally different things?

00:35:43.520 It seems like they do.

00:35:44.360 But what do they really want?

00:35:46.320 Seems to me the girl boss wants financial security.

00:35:50.640 You go out and make some money.

00:35:51.980 She wants financial security.

00:35:54.560 So does the trad wife.

00:35:56.840 They just get it in different ways.

00:35:59.760 You know what the girl boss wants?

00:36:00.920 The one who wants to go out, be a big star, be an influencer, or even just be really good at business.

00:36:06.560 Do you know what the girl boss wants?

00:36:07.980 I think she wants to be loved.

00:36:10.700 Certainly that's what the influencer wants.

00:36:12.240 That's what the movie star wants.

00:36:13.380 that's what the the woman hooking up with three guys a week in new york while she's doing her

00:36:20.640 100 hour a week job that's what she wants she wants to be loved but she's she's trying to be

00:36:25.060 loved in a way that most of the time is a mistake the trad wife wants to be loved

00:36:29.600 what else do they want i know what the girl boss wants she wants to leave a legacy that's it i

00:36:35.880 don't want to just live in the obscurity of the home no i want to leave my mark i want to leave

00:36:41.260 a legacy. I want people to remember me. You think the trad wife doesn't want that?

00:36:47.380 What do you think the trad wife is doing? The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the

00:36:51.260 world. Ironically, the trad wife is much, much, much more likely, orders of magnitude more likely

00:36:59.560 to leave a legacy, to be remembered, to have her name echo throughout history than the girl boss.

00:37:04.680 that's that's the irony of it is and that's it's the tragedy really of of specifically the

00:37:13.340 millennial women is these women who forego marriage who forego kids who just pursue the

00:37:18.340 career who just want to be a girl boss they the things that they desire they're actually usually

00:37:25.240 giving up they're not this is what a faustian bargain you they're actually they're not even

00:37:30.360 getting the things they think they're getting in exchange for the massive sacrifice that they're

00:37:34.560 making. And they're figuring that out. Gen Z is looking to the poor millennial women saying,

00:37:41.040 shoot, it didn't work out for you. I don't want to make the same mistake. I want all the things

00:37:44.920 you want, but I actually want to get them. Okay. Speaking of liberal women, speaking of wives,

00:37:50.880 Gavin Newsom's wife, we have to, something has to be done about Gavin Newsom's wife,

00:37:56.260 the potential next first lady of the United States. Folks, Daily Wire Plus members can now

00:38:14.920 Thank you. My favorite comment yesterday is from the Drummer's Workshop Norms Music, who says,

00:38:19.400 Ketanji Jackson is a few eggs short of an Easter basket. That's a better way to put it. I said,

00:38:23.880 I was trying to speak euphemistically. I don't really want to be too harsh. I don't want to

00:38:28.840 detract too, too toughly. Is that an adverb? I'm Ketanji Jackson. So I said, she's not the

00:38:36.780 brightest bulb in the candelabra, but no, drummer's workshop, drummer's music. You're right.

00:38:42.080 She's a few eggs short of an Easter basket. No doubt about it.

00:38:46.360 Gavin Newsom's wife is getting a lot of attention. I think she was an actress.

00:38:50.700 I think so. Nice looking lady, but she's, she's made these videos over the years offering her

00:38:56.020 opinions on social issues. And the whole right has been mocking her. And I've tried to lay off.

00:39:01.040 I've tried to lay off because I said, look, this woman, she's not a Rhodes Scholar. Okay. She's

00:39:06.160 not a political genius. This is not Machiavelli or Count von Metternich. This is a nice looking

00:39:11.960 blonde lady who has made videos to support the latest thing. Her politics, such as it is,

00:39:21.660 is just liberal sentiment. It is all emotion and passion.

00:39:25.660 It has no reason to do it whatsoever. And so I'm not going to pull up the old videos of her

00:39:29.500 supporting Black Lives Matter or even trans

00:39:33.680 maybe. I don't. Those were back then. Maybe she'll learn as her husband runs for

00:39:37.640 president. She'll just learn to kind of smile, you know, keep

00:39:40.820 the old yapper a little bit more on the closed side of things.

00:39:45.400 And then we don't need to make fun of her too much. But she can't do it.

00:39:50.180 And so I'm watching, I'm seeing, okay, she's not learning.

00:39:54.280 She's not, there's a real chance that Gavin Newsom becomes the president.

00:40:01.660 Which means that this woman could become the first lady.

00:40:07.700 Trust me, I'm not a fan of Pam Bondi nor Kristi Noem.

00:40:12.500 But I need to call out that it's no surprise to me that the first two prominent people pushed out of this administration were women.

00:40:19.340 Let me explain. The conservative women that Trump handpicks, who align themselves with an agenda that controls women, restricting our rights, limiting our autonomy, and pushing us back into this straitjacket of femininity that is only in service of men.

00:40:33.700 There's a familiar pattern here. Women are brought in packaged Mar-a-Lago style and lifted up as long as they commit to wholeheartedly serve the interests of the patriarch at the top.

00:40:44.200 Now it looks like power or proximity to power with a big title, but it never comes with job

00:40:49.840 security and protection. There's no secure place inside this handpicked patriarchal body that

00:40:54.920 systemically disrespects, devalues, and discriminates against women and girls.

00:40:59.260 And this is where complicity comes in. Because when you align yourself with that value system,

00:41:03.980 with a leader who has publicly devalued women, degraded them, and been found liable of abusing

00:41:09.200 women, well, guess what? You're going to be the first to go. So while you're in a perceived

00:41:15.900 position of power in this system that regularly diminishes and devalues other women, even if you

00:41:21.580 Just stop it. Just stop it. I can't. I can't. I thought it was going to end sooner and I just

00:41:25.160 can't take it. I just can't. I can't take that tone for four or eight years. I just can't take

00:41:33.580 it. Forget the ridiculous substance. It's the condescending, know-it-all feminism,

00:41:42.560 which ironically doesn't know a damn thing about the world whatsoever. Now she's defending

00:41:49.140 Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi, who President Trump, I think, had a lot of patience with and let them

00:41:54.940 last a very long time in their jobs. Despite many calls for them to go, they were in particularly

00:41:59.700 tough jobs, but they also were the source of most of the criticism of the Trump administration

00:42:04.800 during the first year. The Epstein stumble, that was a stumble out of the AG's office. Okay. And

00:42:11.380 Trump, I think was very patient with her. The DHS operations were very, very tough to conduct,

00:42:17.260 but the, basically the biggest criticism he got, at least on, on a, an immediate matter,

00:42:22.440 not the longstanding Epstein thing, but an immediate matter was because of the handling of,

00:42:26.940 Minnesota's deportations under

00:42:29.220 Christine O. We can tell you

00:42:31.280 why they got fired, and they got fired much later

00:42:33.440 than a lot of people were calling for them to.

00:42:35.520 To say this is about women, she's

00:42:36.860 in no use of that, and the

00:42:39.260 patriarchy, and

00:42:41.440 our rights,

00:42:43.360 and we all

00:42:44.640 get to kill babies.

00:42:46.880 I can't. Give me Hillary Clinton.

00:42:49.100 Give me Hillary over that woman

00:42:51.140 any day of the week. Hillary

00:42:53.100 might be, I don't know that she's the devil,

00:42:55.360 She might be a lesser demon incarnate, but thank goodness, at least the woman's smart.

00:43:00.660 She's articulate.

00:43:01.960 She, I know what she wants in terms of policy.

00:43:06.480 She, but this woman, she's pretty.

00:43:09.280 She seems kind of nice.

00:43:10.780 And it's frankly, probably a more radical and a more leftist kind of feminism than anything

00:43:16.780 Hillary's ever offered.

00:43:18.240 Please give me Hillary.

00:43:19.740 Can I say another, this is a little tangential, but I was saying that I was lying on the couch

00:43:23.600 last night with sweet little Elise.

00:43:25.020 I have the family here in D.C.

00:43:26.900 I was lying on the couch, and an old picture came up of Hillary,

00:43:30.760 like law school Hillary, college Hillary, something like that.

00:43:34.020 And can I say something?

00:43:36.400 Because I know now, she's a woman of a certain age.

00:43:39.100 Can I say something?

00:43:41.540 Law school Hillary?

00:43:44.960 Not a bad-looking woman.

00:43:46.340 Can I say it?

00:43:47.420 Can I say it?

00:43:48.240 Look, this can be clipped out, and I don't, but law school Hillary?

00:43:52.700 look bill he has a taste and he saw something in her and this lady she's sounds nice you know

00:44:01.820 newsom's wife and she looks nice certainly and but i can't take this this would be a return to

00:44:06.900 the obama era this would be right back to obama i can't i can't please please don't do we must do

00:44:13.240 everything we can to stop newsom i don't care about his policies i mean i don't i don't it's

00:44:18.520 The biggest issue is, don't bring me back to that, please.

00:44:23.400 Frankly, make him the nominee.

00:44:26.240 That, that message from that wife, that is why men shifted so much, especially young men, shifted so much to the right in recent years.

00:44:35.980 We can't have that.

00:44:36.600 Okay, speaking of female relatives of terrible political leaders, the niece and grandniece of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani were just deported from the United States.

00:44:48.520 Follow-up question. Why were they in the United States? Now, you might say maybe they defected, maybe they were very pro-America. No, they weren't. They hate America. They were, I think Marco Rubio has sent out a tweet about this. They called America the great Satan. They celebrated attacks on Americans. They had legal status.

00:45:06.740 how

00:45:08.340 did these people

00:45:10.460 get into the country

00:45:11.880 how did these people get in

00:45:13.660 I don't know

00:45:15.400 speaking of removing women

00:45:16.580 one story I want to get to

00:45:17.440 came out at least a few days ago

00:45:19.000 but it's really worth pointing to

00:45:20.540 in Providence, Rhode Island

00:45:23.000 there is a mural that's gone up

00:45:25.360 of Irina Zarutska

00:45:26.600 you remember Irina Zarutska

00:45:27.720 she's a woman who was

00:45:30.060 savagely murdered on a train

00:45:32.660 this woman

00:45:35.920 was almost everything the Libs love. She was an immigrant. She's a single woman. She's from

00:45:43.260 Ukraine, for one. She was certainly a victim, but here's the rub. She was white, and she was a victim

00:45:52.900 of a black guy, a black guy who, after he murdered her, made a comment about how happy he was that he

00:45:59.760 killed a white woman. And so the Libs want to take the mural down. Multiple people. The mayor

00:46:06.260 wants to take the mural down. Representative David Morales had this to say. Ultimately,

00:46:11.940 we want to make sure that every community member that calls Providence home feels safe. And we can

00:46:17.720 both agree that this mural behind us does not reflect Providence's values, nor does it reflect

00:46:23.280 the creativity that we want to see in ourselves.

00:46:28.280 The mural doesn't reflect the creativity that we want.

00:46:31.200 So, okay, the main takeaway that I've seen everyone observe about this

00:46:35.140 is the Democrats hate white people.

00:46:37.740 Yes, they do.

00:46:38.940 Yeah, we got it.

00:46:40.260 The liberals hate white people.

00:46:42.720 The main takeaway I've seen from a lot of conservatives is,

00:46:44.880 can you imagine if the show were on the other foot

00:46:47.260 and the roles were reversed and the positions were, can you imagine?

00:46:50.720 The Democrats are the real racists.

00:46:52.320 Yes.

00:46:52.520 Yes, sure. Okay. The funnier aspect of this to me, it's kind of like how with the rescue story

00:46:59.800 in Iran, the thing that's most interesting to me is what it means for all of us if there is

00:47:05.040 meaning in the world. You know, it's like one level deeper. Like the whole story is so astounding

00:47:09.700 and it's just, we should give thanks to God for it. But think about it. If there's meaning in the

00:47:13.460 world, that radically changes everything about how you engage in the world, doesn't it? That

00:47:18.920 radically shifts, like your whole life, if you can actually accept that there is meaning in the

00:47:24.980 world. Well, it's the same thing here. What is, what is interesting to me about this is not that

00:47:30.620 the Democrats hate white people or they want to let criminals, especially black criminals,

00:47:34.680 off the hook. It's not that. Notice how quick the libs are to regulate art. You know, this is,

00:47:42.380 this is thing that the libs have been pushing for almost a hundred years now,

00:47:46.180 which is that art should have no limits.

00:47:49.240 Art should have no limits.

00:47:50.380 Anything can be art.

00:47:51.560 If we take a photograph of a crucifix in urine,

00:47:54.360 that's great art.

00:47:55.640 That's a real work of art.

00:47:56.860 Someone called it Piss Christ.

00:47:58.900 Horrifically blasphemous work of so-called art.

00:48:02.020 But it was defended that we can never regulate art.

00:48:05.660 You know, Marcel Duchamp puts a toilet in a museum

00:48:08.960 and he says it's art.

00:48:10.580 Someone tapes a banana to a wall, that's art.

00:48:12.460 even the most vile blasphemous sort of things oh no that's art but the only reason the libs

00:48:19.980 will tolerate blasphemous art is because uh it's art that blasphemes a god that they hate

00:48:26.260 like god himself christ but when art blasphemes a false god like the false god of race

00:48:34.660 you know but in this case uh you know saying that a black guy can commit a crime saying

00:48:40.760 a white lady could be a victim of a crime. That's a sort of blasphemy for the false religion of

00:48:45.400 liberalism. So they won't allow that. There's this slogan, which was, it's put in Latin,

00:48:52.020 but it's not an ancient Latin slogan. It's just a new slogan put into Latin.

00:48:55.100 Ars gratia artis, art for art's sake. It's the motto of MGM Studios. Art for art's sake.

00:49:02.160 Art shouldn't be for a purpose. It shouldn't have an agenda. Art is just for art. So we,

00:49:06.900 Everything can be art, you know, we never want to, except for this.

00:49:10.360 Look how quick they want to regulate art.

00:49:13.500 So where did the abstract expressionism go?

00:49:16.900 Where did the free spirit go?

00:49:21.940 I don't know, it's gone, it's gone, I don't know.

00:49:23.780 All right, good, standards are coming back to art.

00:49:26.460 Fine by me, let's put some real standards in.

00:49:28.660 Okay, speaking of art, today's Music Monday, on this Easter Monday, the rest of the show continues now.
