The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1959 - What's Going On？ UFO Researchers Keep Turning Up DEAD

00:00:00.000 California Democrats face off in the first gubernatorial debate to determine who will

00:00:04.660 hammer the final nail in the coffin of the golden state.

00:00:08.380 Then the New York Times promotes Hassan Piker's calls for the murder of conservatives and

00:00:13.200 UFO researchers suspiciously keep turning up dead.

00:00:20.040 I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show.

00:00:30.000 welcome back to the show have we discovered the resting place of Noah's Ark an explosive

00:00:46.740 new report going viral all over the media that we have found Noah's Ark I am bringing on

00:00:54.360 A man who is expert in all sorts of odd, eccentric, quasi-mystical, ancient religious claims

00:01:02.700 The very great Dr. Jeremiah Johnston will be joining later in the show

00:02:27.740 Swalwell is out of the California governor race. Democrats realized he just didn't have what it

00:02:32.100 takes. It looked like they were going to throw California to Republicans. The Democrat party

00:02:35.820 couldn't handle that. So they smacked him with a constitutional challenge, then a financial

00:02:40.840 corruption scandal. Then they finally, they pulled out the big card. They pulled out the weird sex

00:02:44.880 scandal. He's out, which means that the Democrats are much more likely, almost certain to take the

00:02:50.980 California governor's race. And the remaining candidates are actually probably worse than

00:02:56.500 Swalwell. We'll get to that momentarily. So what do we have? We have Tom Steyer,

00:03:04.200 the billionaire. He was the guy who was really pushing Swalwell out. We also have Xavier Becerra,

00:03:10.840 who was the head of, wasn't it HHS over at the White House? And then we have Katie Porter,

00:03:18.600 most famous or infamous for berating her staff and pouring scalding hot mashed potatoes on her 1.00

00:03:23.860 ex-husband. Take the personal stuff aside for a second. Let's get to the issues that actually 1.00

00:03:30.540 matter. Let's start with an easy one. This is not just an 80-20 issue. This has got to be a 90 or

00:03:36.480 95 to 5 or 10 issue. Should illegal aliens who do not speak English be allowed to get commercial 1.00

00:03:46.200 truck driver licenses after the many, many occasions when these non-English speaking 1.00

00:03:53.240 commercial truck drivers have rammed into American citizens, killing them because they 0.95

00:03:59.740 can't read the road signs. This is pretty easy, right? This is a layup. Democrats, they want to

00:04:03.980 run moderate in the midterms. They want to run moderate in these gubernatorial races. So, okay,

00:04:09.040 here we go. I'm going to underhand pitch this one to Tom Steyer. Tom Steyer, certainly we shouldn't

00:04:14.960 let these homicidal foreigner truck drivers keep killing Americans, right? Mr. Steyer, 1.00

00:04:22.920 where do you draw the line on this? Should language proficiency for truckers be strictly

00:04:27.740 enforced, even if it means that some of them will probably lose their jobs? You have 60 seconds.

00:04:32.980 Look, I agree with what was said, which is we don't know the context of this stop.

00:04:38.160 But what I can say is this, racial profiling is illegal.

00:04:42.700 And in fact, picking on people based on the color of their skin in the state of California is illegal.

00:04:50.560 Okay, not feeling too hopeful for this old Democrat field here.

00:04:54.900 The question, even the way the question was framed by the moderator was, do the rights of American citizens to live and not be smushed by giant Mack trucks, do those rights trump the supposed right of non-English speaker, possible illegal aliens to get a license to drive a commercial truck when they can't read the signs on the road?

00:05:20.440 And Steyer goes, absolutely not. Absolutely not. We don't know the context. I think we do know

00:05:26.280 the context. Just a little rundown. This is certainly not exhaustive. 2017, an 18-year-old

00:05:31.600 kid was killed in Florida because one of these guys who doesn't speak or read English rammed

00:05:36.400 into him with a truck. An EMT was killed in 2022, American citizen in Wyoming. Same exact reason.

00:05:42.440 Three people were killed in Florida just this year. Same exact reason. A 31-year-old was killed

00:05:48.100 just last year in Tennessee. Same exact reason. This is not just an isolated incident, even if it

00:05:54.020 were on the principle of the thing. Obviously, you should not be able to get a license to drive

00:05:58.080 a Mack truck, a commercial license, if you can't read the signs on the road. But we don't even just

00:06:03.180 have an isolated incident to point to the dire consequences of it. We have an endless array of

00:06:08.700 incidents killing young American citizens. He says, nope, sorry. The supposed right of foreigners

00:06:17.580 to a job, not even to residency, not even to legal protections, not even to social services,

00:06:25.160 which Democrats wouldn't have granted even 15 years ago. Forget about that. No, no, no. The

00:06:30.080 right to have whatever job they want to get whatever government license they want trumps

00:06:34.980 the rights of Americans to live. And then notice how he pivots. He says, we can't have racial

00:06:40.240 profiling. First of all, first of all, this is going to be a little uncomfortable, but it's a

00:06:46.600 fact, not only is racial profiling in the broad sense not illegal, it is essential

00:06:55.840 to all manner of law enforcement. When a guy commits a crime and they call in the cops,

00:07:03.820 the cops hear it on their little walkie talkies, say, all right, we have a crime,

00:07:08.000 got committed over in Palookaville, got a crime. The very next thing they hear is a description

00:07:14.280 of the suspect. And because race is rather visible, they always say that. They always say

00:07:22.220 it's a 22-year-old black male. Suspect is a 35-year-old Hispanic male. Suspect is a 42-year-old

00:07:32.140 white male. When it's the white guys, it's maybe a little more white collar crimes just as a

00:07:37.120 likelihood statistic. We don't even need to get into that. You obviously have to take into account

00:07:44.240 physical appearance when you are trying to nab a suspect, when you are trying to ascertain the

00:07:50.220 likelihood of crimes, when you're trying to determine where limited police resources should

00:07:54.680 go. That's just a fact. I know it's uncomfortable. We deny it. We even try to deny it as a matter of

00:07:59.520 law, but that's not possible. And all of that is totally beside the point because the question is

00:08:08.400 not about race. It's about language. There are, in fact, white people in the world who don't speak

00:08:14.420 English. I know it's hard to believe. There are, in fact, Hispanics and Indians and Africans and

00:08:20.300 all sorts of people who do speak English. And so the very limited question here is,

00:08:26.000 should you stop people who don't speak English from killing American citizens?

00:08:29.860 Tom Steyer says no. And if you think so, you're a racist. So, okay, you say, all right, 0.96

00:08:34.360 this is weirdo billionaire. He tried to run for president once. He's a total joker.

00:08:37.880 look at this guy. He's wearing a suit with Nike sneakers on. I know he's not a millennial. This

00:08:45.020 is very millennial core, but this guy, his judgment's impaired. Okay, surely the other

00:08:51.200 people on the stage. We're not even getting into tough questions. We're not even getting

00:08:56.140 into questions like, I don't know, tax rates or social services or education. This is basic stuff.

00:09:04.500 Surely the other guys on stage have the right answer, right?

00:09:06.700 We turn to a much more serious candidate, Xavier Becerra.

00:09:10.620 Same question.

00:09:12.920 Should the CHP be giving English proficiency tests to truck drivers?

00:09:17.500 And if not, would you as governor push back against the Trump administration on this policy?

00:09:22.280 You have 60 seconds.

00:09:23.660 I would definitely push back on the Trump administration on, again, a reckless policy.

00:09:27.460 I would make sure that that officer understands that he cannot discriminate against any driver

00:09:32.400 without having a basis to do so, I understood a little bit of what that individual was trying to

00:09:37.500 say. I couldn't see the signs, but it certainly sounded like he was trying to describe what that

00:09:42.820 particular sign was trying to represent. And so we have to be very careful that we're not profiling

00:09:48.080 consumers in California, drivers in California. I would certainly push back on the Trump

00:09:53.520 administration for saying that you need to read English to drive. Not even just to drive,

00:10:02.380 actually to get a very special kind of license to drive for commercial purposes.

00:10:07.880 Xavier Becerra, Tom Steyer, this whole array of Democrats says American citizens have no rights

00:10:14.420 up to and including the right not to be smushed by a Mack truck. 0.98

00:10:18.860 Foreigners have all the rights. American citizens have none of the rights. 1.00

00:10:23.520 We've heard this from Democrats broadly for many, many years.

00:10:27.700 This is part of the progressive ideology, which says that America is always wrong.

00:10:33.260 America is the cause of all the evil in the world.

00:10:35.020 American citizens are therefore culpable for it.

00:10:37.200 That's why we need to fling open the borders. 0.75

00:10:38.900 Every one of these people supports open borders. 1.00

00:10:41.660 We need to always prioritize foreigners over Americans. 0.98

00:10:45.680 It's like that, it was, it's that graph, that heat graph that you saw going viral. 0.99

00:10:49.440 I think it was about a year ago, which is that leftists, liberals always prioritize people who

00:10:57.460 are far away from them, but they don't prioritize the people who are close to them. J.D. Vance

00:11:03.260 spoke to this when he discussed the ancient and deeply Christian concept of the ordo amoris,

00:11:09.460 the ordo caritatis, the idea that we are called to love everybody, but we have special responsibilities

00:11:14.500 for the people who are closest to us. You have a greater responsibility to your children,

00:11:18.040 for instance, than you do to some 35-year-old guy on the other side of the world.

00:11:23.820 That also is biblical. That also is normal, logical. We can arrive at that through natural

00:11:30.960 reason. And surely we would say elected officials have a greater responsibility to their constituents

00:11:38.140 than they do to foreigners. American politicians have a greater responsibility to their citizens 0.91

00:11:43.580 than they do to foreigners. And every one of these Democrats says, nope, it's the opposite.

00:11:51.100 A little preview of things to come, if and very likely when the Democrats win the midterms,

00:11:56.760 when they win the governorship in California, we are going to see leftism return,

00:12:04.680 basically unimpeded. It was impeded in the sense that Trump won the election with the popular vote.

00:12:11.440 Republicans have a unified government at the federal level. And so leftism took a pause for

00:12:17.160 a second, but it didn't take a step backwards. It wasn't even weakened. It was just put on pause.

00:12:25.960 And it's going to pick up right where it left off, and it's going to accelerate.

00:12:30.060 We'll get to one more question from the gubernatorial debate from Katie Porter,

00:12:34.600 one of the most terrifying people in this entire country. And then we'll get to how the New York

00:12:38.000 Times is promoting the murder of conservatives. First though, speaking of policy, I want to tell

00:14:03.920 Last question from the California governor's debate. I'm not sure I can take any more. Katie

00:14:07.660 Porter, who is accused of berating her staff, harassing her staff, sexually harassing her staff, 0.99

00:14:14.220 using horribly vulgar language to her staff, and also pouring scalding hot mashed potatoes on her

00:14:19.660 ex-husband, whom she would regularly berate. Katie Porter, how do we know you're not going 0.98

00:14:25.840 to behave like a complete maniac when you get into office. Ms. Porter, you've acknowledged 0.71

00:14:31.280 that your interactions with an aide and with a reporter captured on videos which went viral

00:14:37.240 were, in your words, a bad look and that you could have done better. What have you done to

00:14:43.440 address those concerns? And as a person who frequently speaks about being a parent on the

00:14:48.260 campaign trail, what would you tell your own kids if they ever faced a boss like that? You have 60

00:14:53.240 seconds i apologized that day to that staffer four years ago i've done nothing look even even

00:15:01.960 that diction there staffer says you know this aid you're working with this has been multiple

00:15:06.660 instances though some caught on camera not to mention your husband what would you say to your

00:15:12.040 kids obviously that relates to your husband what would you say i apologize to that staffer that

00:15:18.680 That staffer, not a human, not an aide, even the way he phrased it, someone who helps you,

00:15:25.120 you know, that you were so mean to people who help you. 0.99

00:15:26.900 That staffer, that disgusting peasant, that pig that I ground under my feet. 0.99

00:15:32.380 I apologized through gritted teeth when I had to. 1.00

00:15:36.900 But I've got a lot of mashed potatoes waiting in the kitchen, kids.

00:15:41.280 And if you cross me even once, oh, so help me.

00:15:47.300 She's learned nothing.

00:15:48.680 the Democrats have learned nothing. They took no lesson away from 2024. They took no lesson away

00:15:55.360 from the rebuke at the polls that they got when they lost the popular vote at the presidential

00:15:59.380 level for the first time in 20 years. The nearest thing to a lesson they took away is

00:16:03.600 they need to rewrite the voting rules in order to ensconce themselves in power to double and

00:16:11.660 triple down on their agenda. That's what they did in Virginia, and Virginia is the model of

00:16:15.100 this whole election. This whole election, we are told by leading Democrats, is going to be modeled

00:16:21.900 on the Spanberger model. Spanberger, who ran as a moderate in Virginia and then immediately

00:16:26.940 enacted the most radically leftist agenda that we've ever seen in that commonwealth.

00:16:31.440 What was the lesson they learned? The lesson they learned was lie to the voters, win power,

00:16:36.820 and then in Virginia, we talked about this yesterday, just disenfranchise all the Republicans.

00:16:41.220 That's what they did. They totally redrew the congressional map, such that you had a state,

00:16:46.800 a commonwealth, that voted 52-47, Democrat-Republican. You had a ballot measure that

00:16:51.780 passed 51-49. It was almost perfectly down the middle. And as a consequence of that,

00:16:56.980 they flipped the actual voting power in the state 91-9. That's the lesson.

00:17:03.260 And we're going to kill the babies. We're going to trans the kids. We're going to flood the 1.00

00:17:06.860 country with illegals. And then we're going to encourage the illegals to run you over with a 1.00

00:17:10.260 Mack truck. And we're not going to apologize for it for one second. No hugging, no learning. 0.99

00:17:17.400 This is the Seinfeld era of the Democrat Party. You see this in the liberal media as well.

00:17:23.260 The New York Times, not surprisingly, but shockingly, has just further elevated Hassan

00:17:29.740 Piker. Hassan Piker is this left-wing streamer who is truly execrable, hates America, says America

00:17:35.620 to serve 9-11, has regularly called for the murder of leading Republican politicians,

00:17:40.680 called for the murder of Tom Cotton, called for the murder of Rick Scott. So the only way to

00:17:46.540 improve things right now is to murder Rick Scott, the most amiable, clubbable Republican in the 0.73

00:17:51.700 entire US Congress. And immediately after the murder of Charlie Kirk, which is the apotheosis

00:17:59.600 of the longstanding and growing Democrat calls to kill ordinary Republicans.

00:18:05.200 In the follow-up to that, you had mainstream liberal outlets like the New York Times

00:18:12.520 publishing Hassan Piker, saying, well, we really want to hear from this guy.

00:18:17.700 What's he have to say?

00:18:18.560 There was some blowback to that, but the New York Times hasn't learned anything.

00:18:22.540 They just brought him on one of their new opinion podcasts.

00:18:24.780 Here is Hassan Piker making the principled Democrat argument for theft.

00:18:32.680 Yeah, no, I'm pro-piracy all the way.

00:18:34.780 Like, across the board, would you pirate a car?

00:18:38.460 Yes.

00:18:39.200 You know, if you could.

00:18:40.920 What would it mean to pirate a car?

00:18:42.440 It was just a classic thing back in the day.

00:18:45.520 The government-funded anti-piracy initiatives would be like, would you steal a car?

00:18:50.840 I'm like, yeah, sure.

00:18:52.100 If I could get away with it, if it was as easy as, you know, pirating IP, I would do it.

00:19:00.680 Would you dine and dash from your local diner?

00:19:03.820 Never.

00:19:04.400 Never.

00:19:05.420 Except 35%. 0.99

00:19:06.660 Mics, come on. 1.00

00:19:09.160 No, I wouldn't do that. 1.00

00:19:10.560 And if I saw somebody doing that, I'd probably pay for their meal.

00:19:14.180 Yeah.

00:19:14.880 Would you steal a book from the library?

00:19:17.740 Never.

00:19:19.500 No.

00:19:20.300 Would you steal from the Louvre?

00:19:24.860 Yes.

00:19:26.100 I would not be logistically capable of executing such a fact,

00:19:29.400 but would I cheer on every news story of people that I see doing it?

00:19:33.040 Absolutely.

00:19:34.120 Absolutely.

00:19:35.360 Yeah, I think it's cool.

00:19:37.600 Yeah, yeah.

00:19:38.420 Yeah, it's cool.

00:19:39.480 Oh, absolutely.

00:19:43.560 Yeah, it's cool.

00:19:45.940 Now, it seems like this is a contradiction.

00:19:48.660 It seems like this is hypocrisy. I'm not sure that it is. In Hassan Piker's defense,

00:19:53.900 I think he has about as coherent a left-wing ideology as ever there was.

00:20:00.780 It's the ideology of the beginning of crime and punishment by Dostoevsky.

00:20:04.080 It's the ideology of Raskolnikov, who says, I am going to totally transgress the moral order.

00:20:10.020 The book opens, spoiler alert, with the main character committing an axe murder,

00:20:13.720 just to see if he can do it, just to see if his own will really can overcome the moral order.

00:20:21.100 Because all that matters is his personal desire and self-interest. I won't spoil the end of the

00:20:26.520 book, but it turns out he's wrong. And so Hassan Piker is asked, would you steal a car? And he

00:20:32.180 says, absolutely. I would commit piracy for a car. And he's making a little joke here regarding

00:20:37.740 piracy of music online. He says, yeah, I would commit piracy against a car. But it's funny,

00:20:42.720 because piracy of music online refers to pirates, like actual pirates who would board ships and

00:20:46.920 kill people and steal all their stuff and commit all sorts of crimes. They were total outlaws.

00:20:52.820 And he says, yeah, I would do that to music. I would do that to a car.

00:20:56.980 And then the New York Times lady seems like she gets him in a contradiction, 0.63

00:21:01.400 even though she's very cheery about it. She says, well, would you steal from your local diner?

00:21:06.020 He says, oh, no, I wouldn't. Would you steal from the library? No, I wouldn't.

00:21:10.040 would you steal from a museum? A museum, which is kind of like a library.

00:21:15.020 It's a public entity that has resources that can be used by the common good.

00:21:22.340 Just the Louvre is very rich and famous, and the library is local. And he says,

00:21:26.620 I would definitely steal from the Louvre. And then even that other lady, she goes, 0.98

00:21:28.960 I would totally, I would cheer it on if people stole from the Louvre. And it seems like there's

00:21:33.060 a contradiction. Why would you steal from some people, but not other people? Why would you steal

00:21:36.440 some things, but not other things. That's inconsistent. No, it is consistent. Because

00:21:41.420 what Hassan Piker is saying is, I will do whatever I want. I will do whatever I want.

00:21:45.520 I am not beholden to any moral order. So I like my local diner. So I wouldn't steal from it. I

00:21:52.040 might even donate money to it. I like my local library, but I hate the Louvre because he hates

00:21:58.020 Western civilization, because he hates Christendom, because he hates the glories of our culture.

00:22:03.980 so i would do that i would i would steal some guy's car because i want the car and i don't

00:22:09.560 care about the guy but i like my waitress at the local diner so i wouldn't steal from her

00:22:13.860 but it's all about me me me it it reminds me a little bit of the churchill quote the famous

00:22:19.920 churchill quote which is that socialism is the philosophy of failure and the creed of

00:22:24.760 ignorance and the gospel of envy and so it is a it's a the philosophy of failure in as much as

00:22:31.960 when you haven't built something yourself, you just steal from others. 0.83

00:22:36.920 It's a creed of ignorance in that it speaks to a total ignorance of the moral order and

00:22:40.920 serious philosophy. But then it's also the gospel of envy because it's just all about taking

00:22:44.780 and greed and amassing goods for yourself. Totally inconsiderate of anything else.

00:22:54.600 Okay, on the theft point, you say, okay, well, that's bad. But there have always been thieves

00:22:58.520 and robbers and, you know, it's okay. It's just property anyway. But then it takes an even darker

00:23:03.600 turn. And this, I think, shows you, forget Hassan Piker. This shows you the greatest danger of the

00:23:10.480 Democrat Party today. They ask about murder. The answer and the response is chilling. First,

00:23:18.760 though, speaking of murder, I want to tell you about Preborn. Go to preborn.com slash Knowles.

00:23:23.260 Voices of our culture are loud. The truth is often silent. That silence has a cost. Right now,

00:23:27.720 women facing unexpected pregnancies are bombarded with pressure and fear before they ever have a

00:23:32.320 chance to pause, to breathe, or to hear the truth about life and hope. That is one of the many

00:23:36.280 reasons I stand with our sponsor, Preborn. At every Preborn Network clinic, a woman is welcomed

00:23:41.000 with compassion and given a free ultrasound. In that sacred moment, she sees what she has never

00:23:45.300 seen before, which is the life within her. Fear fades, clarity dawns, and she's offered something

00:23:49.900 the abortion industry will never give, which is the hope of Jesus Christ. This April, Preborn aims

00:23:54.640 to share that hope in 11,000 gospel conversations across their clinics. You can help make that

00:23:59.500 happen. For just $28, you can sponsor one ultrasound to a mother in need. $140 provides

00:24:04.400 five. Every dollar saves lives and strengthens truth in a world that too often denies it. To

00:24:09.620 donate, dial pound 250. Say keyword baby. That's pound 250, keyword baby. We're going to preborn.com

00:24:14.540 slash Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S. I personally support this organization. I strongly recommend that you

00:24:20.620 give whatever you can. You get a great ROI. They pay for their admin costs separately. So every

00:24:26.840 dollar you give goes to Saving Babies, preword.com slash Knowles. Okay. The New York Times asks,

00:24:33.500 you support theft and we kind of support theft too against our enemies. But what about murder?

00:24:40.340 angles wrote about the concept of social murder and brian thompson as the united healthcare ceo

00:24:51.740 was engaging in a tremendous amount of social murder the systematized forms of violence uh

00:25:00.020 the the structural violence of poverty uh the the for-profit uh paywalled uh system of of

00:25:08.900 healthcare in this country. And the consequences of that are tremendous amounts of pain, tremendous

00:25:15.840 amounts of violence, tremendous amounts of deaths. And that was a fascinating story for me because

00:25:22.820 Americans are very draconian about crime and punishment. They're very black and white on this

00:25:28.120 And yet, because of the pervasive pain that the private health care system had created for the average American, I saw so many people immediately understand why this death had taken place.

00:25:46.640 why this death had taken place, a lunatic LGBT activist, a young ideological leftist

00:25:56.140 murders a CEO in cold blood. And not just a CEO, by the way, a husband, a father, 0.93

00:26:02.280 a guy who worked his way up, made an honest living, was running a company that does good

00:26:10.220 in the world, despite what Hassan Piker has to say. And he says, yeah, it was right to murder

00:26:14.460 that guy. Because of what? Well, because really he was committing social murders. What is social 0.71

00:26:21.840 murders? He cites Engels. Engels, who was the financier of Karl Marx, Karl Marx, who was a

00:26:26.040 deadbeat. And he says it was a social murder because of poverty. Wait, wait, wait, wait,

00:26:31.620 hold on. The UnitedHealthcare CEO is the cause of poverty because of the paywalled system of

00:26:38.160 healthcare in this country. Hold on. The paywalled system of healthcare, you mean that goods cost

00:26:43.580 money? That's what he's saying. The paywalled system of healthcare says goods, finite goods,

00:26:49.620 cost money. Finite goods are finite, in other words. And that's this random healthcare company

00:26:57.480 CEO's fault? What? America is a very draconian healthcare system. We have the most generous

00:27:03.140 healthcare system in the world. We have universal healthcare. Foreigner criminal gangbangers who

00:27:08.800 show up and run over American citizens get to show up to American hospitals. They will be treated for 0.98

00:27:13.180 free, they'll receive the best healthcare in the world. Draconian. Plenty of ways to fix American

00:27:18.340 healthcare. But there is a reason everybody comes here for healthcare. Nobody goes to Cuba.

00:27:23.520 Nobody who can go to America goes to Cuba. Nobody who can go to America goes to China. 0.54

00:27:29.780 And he says, yeah, that's why murder was justified in this case. It's good to murder 0.91

00:27:35.140 a husband and a father who's committed no crime, who's done nothing wrong because I hate him. 0.99

00:27:40.380 um so hasan piker is just a total reprobate you know that's that's in part part of his shtick 0.94

00:27:48.800 he tortures his dog on camera and he talks about how 9-11 was good and he talks about how much he 0.96

00:27:53.860 hates america and he wants to kill republicans and he's kind of a shock jock and he gets he

00:27:58.420 gets clicks for that okay my issue is more with the new york times because they're just not only 0.97

00:28:03.380 are they platforming this they're nodding along and agreeing which is a lesson that i really want

00:28:09.240 conservatives to take to heart, especially as we look at the midterms in 2028.

00:28:14.580 The only difference between Antifa and the New York Times is the smile. That's the only difference.

00:28:23.260 Antifa, with their masks on, with their angry faces, they say, we're going to kill you. We're 0.99

00:28:28.440 going to steal your stuff. We're going to kill you. We're going to burn you down. If we hate you, 1.00

00:28:31.880 no moral considerations. We're going to murder you in cold blood in the street. 1.00

00:28:35.480 and the new york times says well you know uh if we hate you and we consider you an enemy even if 0.99

00:28:44.680 you've committed no crime and no no immoral action we're going to murder you in cold blood in the

00:28:49.420 street that's the difference that's the only difference this dynamic does not exist on the

00:28:56.480 right indeed charlie kirk's raise on debt in many ways the the thing that charlie kirk did better

00:29:03.280 than anybody was he managed a coalition that included people who kind of hate each other.

00:29:09.060 So he brought a big coalition together and he told them to pipe down and stop fighting each

00:29:12.580 other all the time. But he excluded the genuinely bad and toxic and wicked elements like Hassan 0.98

00:29:19.900 Piker, like the Hassan Piker equivalents on the right. New York Times doesn't do that.

00:29:24.660 The Libs don't do that. The California governor candidates don't do that. There is no limit 0.98

00:29:29.180 to radicalism on the left. No limit whatsoever. And we should look at the New York Times

00:29:36.000 with the exact same kind of contempt, trepidation, and prudential caution

00:29:43.620 that we consider Antifa. There's no difference between them.

00:29:48.340 Hassan Piker is going to become the op-ed edit over there pretty soon.

00:29:52.760 There's no difference whatsoever. Here's a perfect example. The difference between Antifa

00:29:58.280 in the New York Times is just the smile. Here we have James Tallarico going on CNN with Jake

00:30:03.780 Tapper, who's trying to play the moderate. And Tapper says, hey, Mr. Tallarico, you're running

00:30:10.920 for this Senate seat in Texas, and you've said some pretty wacky stuff. You've defended castrating

00:30:17.360 little kids and killing babies. And you've not only defended it, you've defended it in a different 0.94

00:30:22.800 way than Hassan Piker does. Hassan Piker says, I do what I want. I'm going to murder you. I'm a

00:30:27.020 pirate. I'm a criminal. Screw you. I'm going to let the streets run red in your capitalist blood. 0.99

00:30:31.780 Almost a direct quote. But you, James Tallarico, you try to justify it on the basis of a moral

00:30:38.060 order, on the basis of Christianity. In many ways, much more wicked than what Hassan Piker does. 0.82

00:30:42.520 At least Hassan Piker is honest. So, hey, do you want to walk back some of your crazy claims? You 0.74

00:30:47.240 called God non-binary. That seems a little weird. You want to walk back some of your claims?

00:30:51.180 Here's Tallarico's response. The National Republican Senate

00:30:55.380 Committee is already highlighting comments that you've made as a state representative.

00:31:01.280 For example, they're highlighting this.

00:31:05.680 God is both masculine and feminine and everything in between. 0.95

00:31:12.420 God is non-binary.

00:31:16.180 What is your response to them using that?

00:31:19.100 And explain what you were talking about.

00:31:21.220 well i understand that that comment is a little provocative i said it on the house floor

00:31:27.560 when the extremists in the republican legislature were picking on school kids who were different

00:31:33.660 but i don't think it's controversial theologically most christians would acknowledge that god is

00:31:40.260 beyond gender in fact the apostle paul in his letter to the galatians said that in christ

00:31:46.600 there is neither male nor female. And so if someone's got a problem with that statement,

00:31:51.580 they shouldn't take it up with me. They should take it up with the Apostle Paul.

00:31:54.620 I'm the Apostle Paul. I'm basically the Apostle Paul. I, James Tallarico. Because you see,

00:32:00.720 you see, he's the gay Pete Buttigieg, as I say. James Tallarico is the gay Pete Buttigieg. 0.97

00:32:05.500 And Tallarico comes out, he says, well, you see, I know it was a little bit of a provocative

00:32:09.820 statement to say that God is non-binary. But you see, that was only in response to these

00:32:14.440 radical Republican extremists who wanted to get me to stop chopping off the genitals of little kids. 0.99

00:32:21.180 So I said, look, if you let me keep chopping off the genitals of little kids, 0.99

00:32:25.260 I won't have to break out my soaring theology. But you asked for it, Republicans. And so I'm 0.99

00:32:31.580 going to make the dumbest claim you've ever heard in your life. And so what's the claim? 0.99

00:32:35.880 The claim is that God is non-binary. A crazy enough claim that even Jake Tapper had to bring

00:32:41.720 this up on CNN. This is, guys, we really want to win this Texas Senate seat for Democrats.

00:32:46.520 Please stop saying crazy stuff. Tallarico said, I'm going to keep saying crazy,

00:32:49.580 really crazy stuff. I'm St. Paul. You know who else they called crazy? St. Paul.

00:32:55.920 But what of the claim? Republicans are missing this. Conservatives are missing this.

00:33:00.820 We're all right to say that it's absurd to call God non-binary. But I don't think people

00:33:06.020 understand why. Because Tallarico is not totally wrong when he says that. He's not. Tallarico is

00:33:14.320 not totally wrong when he says God is non-binary. He's perfectly wrong, but he's not totally wrong.

00:33:19.320 By which I mean, God is male. God is a man in as much as Christ has a human nature.

00:33:29.300 Ours is not some floating ethereal religion.

00:33:33.400 God is male in as much as Christ has a human nature.

00:33:38.300 But God is beyond sex in as much as he is pure spirit.

00:33:45.380 God the Father, the Holy Spirit are not incarnate.

00:33:52.220 And so sex is something that pertains to human nature, to the body.

00:33:57.000 and therefore, if you don't have a body, you don't have sex. Now, the central mystery of

00:34:04.580 the Christian faith is that God is triune, three distinct persons in one divine unity.

00:34:11.360 And God enters into history through the incarnation, and God is a man. But he's right 1.00

00:34:18.200 to say, in as much as God is pure spirit, he transcends sex. But non-binary doesn't describe

00:34:26.660 that. In fact, it's totally the opposite. When we say in recent years, it's obviously a neologism, 0.97

00:34:34.160 it's a relatively new way to pretend to understand human nature to say, well, I'm not a man or a

00:34:39.460 woman, I'm non-binary. What that is, is in fact, the attempt to appropriate to human beings a

00:34:47.080 quality that belongs to God and to angels and to spiritual creatures that are not bodies.

00:34:53.840 That's what's going on. 0.75

00:34:55.340 That's why it's almost plausible when Tallarico says God is non-binary,

00:35:00.400 is because the very concept of non-binary gender applied to human beings

00:35:05.180 is an attempt to appropriate a quality that belongs to God and to the angels to human beings.

00:35:12.800 But human beings are not angels, and human beings certainly are not God.

00:35:17.320 We are bodies.

00:35:18.760 Our bodies are part of who and what we are. 1.00

00:35:23.860 That's why a man can't become a woman and a woman can't become a man. 0.88

00:35:26.780 And indeed, the very attempt to do so is an attempt to break beyond the limits of human nature 0.99

00:35:33.420 and to make ourselves into gods, which is the original sin.

00:35:37.520 When Eve bites the apple and Adam bites the apple, that is an attempt to become like God.

00:35:44.860 That's what the serpent is pitching.

00:35:47.580 So it's not that he's totally wrong.

00:35:49.500 There's a kind of a point to what he's saying, but it's perfectly wrong.

00:35:52.200 Indeed, it is satanically wrong, which is why James Tallarico is as close to an Antichrist figure as I think we've ever seen. 0.55

00:36:01.140 He's not an Antichrist figure in that most people don't like him, and he's not charismatic, and he's the gay Pete Buttigieg, and his shtick doesn't work all that well. 0.61

00:36:10.400 But if he were more charismatic, he would be as Antichristic a figure as ever I have seen. 0.96

00:36:16.460 Okay. I'm very excited to get to two things. UFO scientists and researchers are going missing,

00:36:27.120 turning up dead. This is taking over the internet. Lots of questions. Are the aliens

00:36:30.840 kidnapping people, murdering people? They all said they're not suicidal. And another story,

00:36:36.160 also a little mystical in nature. Have we found Noah's Ark? There's a big claim that we found

00:36:41.620 Noah's Ark on a mountain in Anatolia. And I have an expert coming on to discuss that because I was

00:36:46.340 kind of persuaded by it but i don't know i will my mind is open first though do you want a sneak

00:37:41.780 The DOJ announced the federal grand jury

00:37:43.800 indicted the SPLC after allegations

00:37:45.600 it was funneling donor money to informants

00:37:47.420 tied to the KKK, Aryan Nations, and neo-Nazi groups,

00:37:50.800 including one allegedly involved

00:37:52.480 in planning the Charlottesville rally.

00:37:54.540 Every major news organization in this country

00:37:56.380 had that story.

00:37:57.340 All of them buried it

00:37:58.140 because when the left commits a scandal this grotesque,

00:38:00.700 the media forget how to report.

00:38:02.240 Daily Wire did not forget.

00:38:03.200 We kept digging.

00:38:03.840 We kept reporting.

00:38:04.560 We kept telling the truth.

00:38:05.740 That kind of journalism only happens

00:38:16.640 Pensee, Prince Z or Pensee 413, who says, he says, and I'm going to put on my perfect

00:38:25.780 boomer voice. Democrats are just going back to their roots. After all, they did start the KKK.

00:38:32.760 You know, it's because a lot of younger conservatives have made fun of this kind

00:38:37.340 of rhetoric in recent years. You heard this a lot 20 years ago from Gen X and boomer conservatives

00:38:42.520 and say, you know, Democrats are the real racists. Democrats are the party of the KKK. 0.93

00:38:47.940 And the younger conservatives kind of made fun of this. Like, all right, man, it's like, yeah,

00:38:51.760 sure. But it's a little more complicated. It's kind of a cope. And like, I don't, you know,

00:38:55.760 but then we get the SPLC scandal where the SPLC is spending 3 million bucks funding the Klan. 0.98

00:39:01.360 And you say, man, maybe the boomers were right. Were the boomers right? 0.85

00:39:04.680 Democrats really are the real racists, I guess. Isn't that crazy? 0.95

00:39:09.280 Maybe they're literally the party of the Ku Klux Klan because they're paying for it. 0.83

00:39:12.860 Wow, I have to reexamine my priors, I guess. 0.77

00:39:15.480 Okay, before we get to Noah's Ark, this is a weird story. It involves UFOs. We'll go from

00:39:22.300 UFOs to global cataclysms. David Wilcock has died. David Wilcock was in the show Ancient Aliens,

00:39:29.360 if you ever watched that. And apparently he's billed as a UFO researcher. This in the context

00:39:35.040 of a story where all sorts of scientists supposedly working on UFOs and anti-gravity,

00:39:39.600 they're dying, they're going missing. People see some kind of conspiracy here.

00:39:42.840 So here is David Wilcock shortly before he was discovered dead.

00:39:49.080 Every day that I have on earth is a gift and a blessing, and I'm very grateful for that

00:39:53.100 because frankly people are disappearing scientists are going missing now they're saying they're

00:39:59.760 going to investigate this the president himself is saying they're going to look into this and

00:40:03.060 see if anything's going on it's a little bit scary i gotta say it's a little bit scary but

00:40:07.640 you guys knew that i might still show up even though it was last minute and i've had a really

00:40:12.360 rough week like you know that's kind of like every week but somehow we keep on making it through all

00:40:18.280 this okay shortly after that segment david wilcock was found dead in an apparent suicide and so now

00:40:27.600 lots of people saying he didn't kill himself just like epstein didn't kill himself this guy didn't

00:40:31.140 kill himself especially he's talking about all of these other ufo researchers and maybe some

00:40:36.260 scientists who aren't just working on youtube channels they're working for the government you

00:40:39.960 know they they're turning up dead and this is a big conspiracy and maybe the aliens are really

00:40:44.600 getting us. I don't think that's true. It's very sad. He seems like a nice guy. I think this guy

00:40:52.380 killed himself. I know that's going to be really unpopular. You're going to think that I'm part of

00:40:56.080 the coverup. You're going to think that maybe I'm an alien. Maybe I ripped my skin off and it turns

00:40:59.380 out I'm an alien. I think this guy killed himself. You know why I think he killed himself? Because 0.97

00:41:04.140 the reporting around this shows that Boulder counter deputies responded to a 911 mental health

00:41:09.600 crisis call and saw him shoot himself. They saw it. This guy's co-host, Corey Goode,

00:41:17.420 who's a longtime co-host on his UFO show called Cosmic Disclosure. He's already come out. The

00:41:21.900 UFO guy, the conspiracy UFO guy who worked with this guy came out and said he killed himself.

00:41:26.980 It's very sad, but he killed himself. You know why else I think he might've killed himself?

00:41:30.500 Because he claims to have telepathically communicated with aliens.

00:41:34.280 and i i think that would be evidence of a mental problem and i also don't think aliens are real

00:41:42.740 and i think in as much as they are a phenomenon it's either hallucinations or foreign governments

00:41:48.140 or our government or demons but even put that aside whatever you think about aliens

00:41:52.000 i think all the evidence says he killed himself and that's very sad and we should pray for him

00:41:58.640 uh as for the other scientists i'll try to dig into that a little bit maybe next week maybe

00:42:04.120 maybe the end of this week, but I don't, we need to, we need to have a little discipline in how we

00:42:11.640 examine evidence guys, because people are spinning a little out of control. You're even seeing

00:42:15.100 elected Republicans talking about how ET is about to land from planet Zebulon five and take over

00:42:19.840 the world. And I think this is not only kind of dumb, but also spiritually very deceptive. 0.98

00:42:27.360 And I think if we're going to be the serious party that is in power, that is actually doing 0.98

00:42:32.240 things to correct the very real tangible threats and spiritual threats coming from the left.

00:42:36.920 We need to be serious ourselves, and we don't want to be gullible, and we don't want to be

00:42:40.980 taken in by people who are a little off-kilter or who are charlatans. This guy, I think, was

00:42:47.280 probably a little more on the off-kilter side of things. We have to be serious.

00:42:53.660 I'll go back to the aliens or the demons kind of debate that's broken out online.

00:42:57.900 The crazy thing is, for a lot of people in our modern material age, the religious explanation of some of these phenomena is actually much more plausible than the physical ET alien explanation.

00:43:13.600 Every culture for all of human history has believed in spirits.

00:43:16.240 We know that there are spiritual realities.

00:43:17.780 We act as though they exist every day.

00:43:19.100 we also know the speed of light and we know that it's highly unlikely that entities from outside

00:43:27.140 of our solar system that are physical are making it to earth and hiding and they only ever managed

00:43:31.960 to be captured on really grainy footage and we need to we need to re-examine what what is rational

00:43:38.060 and irrational we're living in a very irrational age and and so we need to kind of reset our

00:43:42.160 standards here for plausibility and credibility okay i have a lot more to get to especially with

00:43:47.600 my excellent guest, one of the few regular return guests to the Michael Knowles show about a story

00:43:54.900 that I need to know about. I know I'm running late. I don't care. We're going to go late and

00:43:58.280 then we're going to get to even more stuff in the member segmentum. I'm talking about Dr.

00:44:02.420 Jeremiah Johnston. Jeremiah, thank you for making time last minute to be here.

00:44:08.520 Michael, I couldn't be happier to be with you. And that was the perfect setup because how we

00:44:12.260 evaluate evidence is essential. There's a lot of credulous people out there, a lot of

00:44:17.460 naivete. And that's why I watch Michael Knowles every single day, because you cut through all of

00:44:22.940 that. And there's a story out now that's going bonkers that we have to discuss.

00:44:28.060 This story, I'm so glad you came on. I mean, you are helping me personally by coming on,

00:44:33.500 not to mention helping the audience. Because I saw this story going viral last night. I said,

00:44:37.440 I got to cover this on the show. They've discovered Noah's Ark. And I had heard a

00:44:43.100 little bit about this, I don't know, six months or a year ago. I didn't pay attention. Now it's

00:44:46.860 going viral again on the internet, there's this construction, there's this entity, either natural

00:44:54.020 or man-made, that is on the top of a mountain in Anatolia that I guess if you kind of squint,

00:45:01.700 it sort of looks like a ship. And there's this guy out there, this researcher, who says it's

00:45:06.400 exactly the measurements of Noah's Ark described in the Bible. And we think that we haven't been

00:45:11.240 there. We think that there are passageways underneath. We think there might be timber

00:45:15.760 holding up part of the structure. And we've found it, guys. We've found Noah's Ark. And I'm there.

00:45:19.920 I'll confess. Last night, I say, well, by golly, we might have found Noah's Ark. It all checks out.

00:45:26.460 And then a man who spends a lot of time, a man who has doctor before his name,

00:45:32.600 spends a lot of time looking into these kind of things. You say it's bunk.

00:45:37.880 1,000% inaccurate. I'm sorry. And I want to be kind. I want to be pastoral

00:45:42.320 because there's a lot of wonderful Christians out there who want this to be true.

00:45:46.900 But again, I deal in the world of evidence.

00:45:49.840 I deal in the world of reality.

00:45:51.280 And as you may know, Michael, archaeology is a contact sport.

00:45:56.440 We don't get along a lot in the archaeology world.

00:45:59.000 The one thing all of us get along about is 100% certainty.

00:46:04.960 Darunabar, this geological formation in eastern Turkey, is not the spot of Noah's Ark.

00:46:14.400 And we can say that without a doubt.

00:46:17.740 It's very, very important that this site has a history that goes back to 1959.

00:46:23.640 And it's a lot of urban legends.

00:46:26.240 They use something called, if you don't mind, GPR, Ground Penetrating Radar.

00:46:30.700 Now, anyone who's been to an archaeological dig, as I have, knows that GPR is famously inaccurate in the hill country, in mountainous regions.

00:46:43.660 Now, if you and I want to go find manuscripts together in the dry sands of Egypt, now let me tell you, GPR will help with that.

00:46:50.980 So they're using something called ground-penetrating radar.

00:46:54.200 And here's the fascinating part about this ground-penetrating radar.

00:46:58.860 are. Beyond the fact that they're saying they have shafts, that could be water. There are other

00:47:03.420 mountain regions that look very similar, honestly, in eastern Turkey. And by the way, if you ever

00:47:09.060 fly into Las Vegas, there's one that kind of looks like Noah's Ark there too. These are natural

00:47:13.720 geologic formations. Second, when I say it's a contact sport, the scientific consensus is not

00:47:22.080 even close. I'm talking about conservative, moderate, myself conservative, but even liberal,

00:47:28.980 atheist, agnostic archaeologists all know that this is just to sell books. This is sensationalism

00:47:36.360 that catches fire because Christians want it to be true. One of the gentlemen, I don't want to say 1.00

00:47:41.880 his name because I don't want people to Google it because he's also found the blood of Jesus.

00:47:46.300 he's found the Ark of the Covenant. I don't want to say his name because he has no credibility.

00:47:52.740 Even his own team has turned on him. And then the final thing that I want to say is

00:47:57.660 there's no real archaeologists who are part of this, okay? That's very important to note. And

00:48:04.120 when this was carried on Fox and Friends, they said, oh, no, we don't want to do archaeology

00:48:08.120 because archaeology destroys the site. Can I just challenge someone right now? I have a nonprofit.

00:48:13.520 it. If someone out there wants to give me a half million dollars, myself and my IAA certified

00:48:19.860 archaeologist, Scott Stripling, we will go there for a couple of weeks and we will dig down for,

00:48:25.480 it costs about a half million, and we will show you Noah's Ark is not there, but no one's willing

00:48:29.700 to do that. Does that make sense? Does that help? That is a very important grounding conclusion,

00:48:36.280 Jeremiah, because you mentioned the different kind of buckets of researchers. And I say,

00:48:42.120 well, yeah, the thing is the libs and the atheists, they're always trying to debunk

00:48:47.360 Christianity. They're always trying to debunk faith. They've done it with the Shroud of Turin

00:48:53.100 for decades and decades now. And if people haven't watched our specials, I guess, on the

00:48:58.320 Shroud of Turin, different commentary elsewhere too, go check it out. Jeremiah makes an incredible

00:49:04.140 case. But I say, all right, well, hold on. If the libs agree with the moderates, agree with

00:49:10.200 the conservatives agree. And we conservatives, because we're kept out of a lot of the mainstream

00:49:15.280 institutions and because a lot of the mainstream institutions are corrupt, I think we have this

00:49:20.700 weakness, this vulnerability, totally understandable, but we sometimes follow

00:49:25.620 charlatans. We're sometimes a little too credulous. So I'm in some ways sad to hear,

00:49:32.920 but I'm glad to know the truth that, okay, this formation, which I looked at, I said,

00:49:37.240 I don't know. It looks kind of like a mountain to me. I don't know. Like, I guess if I squint and

00:49:39.960 I turn my head, maybe it looks. It's a geologic formation. Yeah. And it's literally called

00:49:44.740 Derupinar. It's a mountain that we could go to. And again, it's never been excavated. All this

00:49:50.860 is, is GPR. It's like metal detectors. And then these people do this to get headlines and they

00:49:56.100 sign books. And I'm kind of frustrated. Can I be frustrated on the Michael Knowles show for a

00:50:01.040 second? It's impossible. We try to minimize it, but it happens to me sometimes too. I'm trying,

00:50:04.860 you know, and I would have a number one New York Times bestseller if someone hadn't just

00:50:09.820 spent 18 days in heaven. It dropped me down to number three. I am tired of Christians.

00:50:16.080 We have the dumbest Christians of all time, Michael. And that should not be because it is 1.00

00:50:21.560 the most exciting time ever to be a follower of Jesus. There is more evidence that undergirds our

00:50:26.480 faith than ever before. But instead, we spend our time tracing rabbit trails, quoting people who have

00:50:33.440 no credibility. I've actually held the Bible manuscripts. I've been to the Holy Sepulchre

00:50:40.220 Church. I've seen where Jesus was resurrected. Let's major on the majors. All these individuals

00:50:45.220 that know all these details about the Noah's Ark, can they even defend the resurrection of Jesus?

00:50:51.880 Why don't you spend a little talking to me about the book of Enoch, nothing historical? Use that

00:50:56.960 time to memorize Greek and Hebrew and then see how much closer to Jesus you are. Sorry to be

00:51:01.240 frustrated, but I'm a little tired of the naivete. I'm with you. I'm with you, Jeremiah, because

00:51:07.060 you know, I think there is a feeling even among pretty earnest Christians that at some deep down

00:51:13.620 level, they're not sure. You know, they're a little fearful of new discoveries that might

00:51:18.740 disprove everything. I mean, St. Paul, James Tallarico compared himself to St. Paul just

00:51:22.480 moments ago. He did. I heard that. But St. Paul says, you know, look, if the resurrection is

00:51:26.980 false were most to be pitied among men. Like it is, it's kind of all on that. It either happened

00:51:32.400 or it didn't. So I think there are some Christians who say, I mean, I really, I really want it to

00:51:36.580 have happened. I really want the religion to be true. I really want Christ to be who he says he

00:51:39.920 is, but I don't, I just don't want too much, no poking around from those scientists. And I say

00:51:44.980 the opposite. I say, no, no, poke around. I love it. Let's go. I mean, let's not forget the church

00:51:49.020 has been a big promoter of science. They were a little tough on Galileo, mostly because he was a

00:51:53.100 jerk, really not even related so much to his science. But the church has been this great 0.99

00:51:58.160 promoter of science and discovery, founded the universities. Guys, we don't need to be afraid

00:52:02.740 of the truth here. We don't need to be afraid of facts. Absolutely. And if we're going to give our

00:52:07.140 life to this worldview, we should be skeptical about it. We should be the most skeptical about

00:52:12.800 whatever worldview we commit our life to. And what's fascinating about it, I point out in my

00:52:17.820 new book, Michael, we can point out 65 facts about the burial, the life, the death, the resurrection

00:52:23.540 of Jesus before we ever open the Bible. No other religion can't do that. Islam can't do that.

00:52:28.860 Islam ran a New York Times op-ed that the temple never existed. Again, credulous, naivete, 0.99

00:52:35.640 unbelievable. And I just want to encourage Christians who are well-meaning, who are watching. 0.62

00:52:40.520 And like this kind of, I hope my mom's not watching right now. This reminds me of the

00:52:44.680 early days of Babylon Bee, when my mom would send me Babylon Bee news and be very upset.

00:52:50.640 Exactly. And this is what Christians do. My phone has been blowing up that, 1.00

00:52:56.060 Dr. Johnston, we have finally found Noah's Ark. And no, we haven't.

00:53:01.280 Yeah. Right.

00:53:02.400 And we have not found the Ark of the Covenant either.

00:53:05.400 All right. Now, I want to talk about the Ark of the Covenant theories in a moment.

00:53:08.120 I want to keep, if you have a moment.

00:53:09.260 Let's do it.

00:53:09.680 I know Jeremiah is like, he's the busiest man. I said this to my producer, Mr. Davies, today.

00:53:14.160 I said, you know, you and I, we hustle.

00:53:16.640 We do hustle around DW.

00:53:18.080 You know, we're holding the whole company up on our shoulders.

00:53:19.880 We move.

00:53:20.400 We're all over the place.

00:53:21.360 I said, we are lazy compared to Jeremiah.

00:53:25.080 Jeremiah is everywhere doing everything all the time.

00:53:27.820 So I know you're in Washington right now.

00:53:29.580 You're hurried over from Arlington over to the studio.

00:53:32.940 I want to get to the Ark of the Covenant.

00:53:35.160 There's also one other thing.

00:53:36.140 We need to talk about that.

00:53:37.260 Oh, we got it.

00:53:37.820 There's a lot to get to.

00:53:38.840 But you, Hoi Palloi, who are well.

00:53:40.820 I love you, Hoi Palloi.

00:53:41.760 I love when you're watching on YouTube, listening on Spotify.
