It's been 90 days since the start of the war in Iran.
00:01:02.840
And now that both sides say we're on the brink of a peace deal,
00:01:11.920
Then E. Jean Carroll, the woman who accused President Trump
00:01:16.040
of raping her in a department store decades after the supposed fact,
00:01:23.940
Finally, a man is arrested for threatening to kill Erica Kirk
00:01:27.480
and an entire TPUSA lineup, and the identity of this person might surprise you.

I'm Michael Knowles, and this is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:01:54.500
I need to start paying a royalty to James Tallarico, the Democrat candidate for Senate
00:02:01.180
in Texas. James Tallarico, just an endless font of opposition research and clips. This guy,
00:02:07.700
every day, three or four new clips come out of this guy being the worst candidate for Senate
00:02:13.420
in Texas ever. There's a lot more to say. First, though, go to rhonutrition.com. Use promo code

Knowles. One of the stranger features of modern life is that people spend hours debating politics,
00:02:21.880
economics, religion, and philosophy, and then completely ignore the fact that we are also our
00:02:27.380
bodies. We are our bodies. We're our minds. We're also our bodies. And at some point, you have to
00:02:33.560
take your physical health at least somewhat seriously. That doesn't mean becoming a biohacker.
00:02:37.540
It doesn't mean you have to be a total weirdo. You don't have to turn your garage into a laboratory.
00:02:41.080
It just means paying attention to the fundamentals. That is one of the reasons that I strongly
00:02:44.660
recommend Rose Liposomal NAD+. NAD plus is a molecule involved in cellular energy production.
00:02:55.820
and natural NAD Plus levels decline as we get older, okay?
00:03:04.840
but even I, you know, I'm getting a little bit older.
00:03:10.800
in a liposomal liquid format designed to support absorption,
00:03:15.440
It's a quick daily teaspoon, no mixing powders,
00:03:17.380
no complicated protocols, no clinic appointments,
00:03:19.100
something that if you put stuff off like me is really, really easy to do.
00:03:23.600

00:03:34.640
Hey, you guys remember the Iran war? You know that war that we're in? It's not like,
00:03:38.640
I mean, it sort of is a war, but it's not a war. It's Schrodinger's war. In Schrodinger's Strait,
00:03:43.460
The war began now 90 days ago, and actually most of the time of this war has been a ceasefire.
00:03:56.200
So technically speaking, when Trump said that the hostilities are going to be about four to six weeks,
00:04:04.020
But now we're in this ceasefire where the Strait of Hormuz is closed because Iran has a blockade,
00:04:08.780
and then the U.S. has a double reverse UNO card blockade,
00:04:12.160
and then 20% of the world's oil can't really get through.
00:04:15.160
And so we've just been in this stalemate for a while.
00:04:19.540
I spoke to a senior administration official at the White House on Sunday,
00:04:25.720
that it looks like they are close to a peace deal,
00:04:28.860
but the details of that are still a little bit unclear.
00:04:35.280
They say, yeah, okay, it's part of this peace deal.
00:04:40.280
But you won't have to pay a toll, but you might still have to pay a little bit of something.
00:04:52.400
He says, it is natural that in this process, the services provided, navigation services,
00:04:58.480
in addition to the necessary measures to protect the environment of the strait of Hormuz,
00:05:06.320
the Persian Gulf, and the Sea of Oman, these require the collection of feeds.
00:05:12.600
Therefore, these should not be referred to as tolls.
00:05:17.700
Okay. Iran and Oman are responsibly working on this path.
00:05:21.560
Okay. We hope to reach a final agreement as soon as possible.
00:05:27.700
Okay. They hope to reach this agreement as soon as possible, but look, there are certain services
00:05:32.020
that are required to navigate these waters and even just to protect the environment.
00:05:37.140
That's one of the excuses. And it's starting to make me think maybe the Iranians really are
1.00
00:05:41.600
a primitive people. I didn't think the Iranians are a primitive people. They have a real country,
00:05:46.940
you know, a real civilization, a real culture. But they've arrived at something that liberals
00:05:52.460
in America arrived at many years ago, which is that when you want to charge people taxes and
00:05:57.600
fees, they don't like that usually. So you have to just call it something else.
00:06:01.180
So with Obamacare, they said, no, no, no, it's not really a tax.
00:06:05.140
I mean, it's a tax for this purpose of the law, but a penalty for this other purpose of the law.
00:06:10.780
That's how they got Obamacare through the Supreme Court.
00:06:16.000
It's an environmental fee to protect the environment.
00:06:19.240
And so Iran comes out and they say, yeah, we're going to stop charging you a fee.
00:06:25.080
This will just be a little payment to protect the environment.
00:06:30.000
Yes, directly payable to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.
00:06:33.860
It's really tricky because we don't exactly know who's in charge here in Iran.
00:06:37.420
So the government comes out and says one thing.
00:06:39.460
The foreign minister might come out and say one thing.
00:06:41.400
But then the IRGC will come out and say a totally different thing.
00:06:44.220
So I'm a little bit skeptical that we're going to get the deal.
00:06:47.260
Both sides are saying they're close to it right now.
00:06:49.160
And then, of course, you get down to this question, which is,
00:06:51.920
is the deal going to be the same or worse than the Obama deal with Iran, the JCPOA?
00:06:59.280
today because if it's the same or worse as the JCPOA, then the obvious next question is, well,
00:07:06.680
why did we go into Iran at all? If we already had some deal that we then ripped up and the
00:07:11.880
Strait of Hormuz was already opened and the Iranian regime was in place as it remains in
0.86
00:07:17.840
place today, then the question is, what will we have achieved? And this was always my fear at the
00:07:22.720
beginning of the hostilities in Iran. The reason that I argued against strikes in Iran, this go
1.00
00:07:27.760
around and why I've continued to express a little caution and skepticism of the efficacy of the
1.00
00:07:34.600
strikes is not because I don't think the Iranian regime deserves it. It's because when I consider
1.00
00:07:39.420
those two criteria of just war, reasonable probability of success and proportionality,
00:07:43.420
I just don't know that the juice is really worth the squeeze. And you might end up in a position
00:07:47.980
that's roughly the same or worse than where you started. So Marco Rubio is addressing this concern.
00:07:52.600
He was addressing this from a State Department airplane where he said, well, yeah, look,
00:07:56.260
If the deal is as bad as or worse than the Obama deal, we're not going to have a deal.
00:08:02.860
Well, look, I think our position is well stated.
00:08:05.220
The president had a very important, I think, historic call just a couple of days ago with a number of leaders from the region.
00:08:10.400
I think there's strong alignment and agreement on what a preliminary draft should look like.
00:08:14.880
I think like anything with something like this, it's going to take a couple of days to settle on even down to the disagreements over a word sentence.
00:08:27.500
If there's going to be a deal, we're going to have to work through that.
00:08:29.800
But this is, you know, it's either going to be a good deal or there isn't going to be one.
00:08:33.460
It's going to be a good deal or it's not going to be any kind of deal.
00:08:36.380
I was speaking to, as I mentioned, a senior admin official over the weekend.
00:08:41.880
It's either going to be a good deal or there's going to be no deal.
00:08:44.540
And so now you're, I hate to say I told you so.
0.98
00:08:48.160
I think my analysis of the war in Iran has been absolutely 100% precisely correct the whole time.
0.57
00:08:53.120
So now you're in this position where, okay, either you take a deal.
00:08:59.920
Trump pulls a lot of rabbits out of his hat, so maybe we can do that.
00:09:02.580
But it's going to be some kind of deal, which a lot of people aren't going to be happy with,
00:09:06.020
or ground invasion and regime change, and it's the Bush era all over again.
0.88
00:09:10.460
Seems to me those are the two options, because right now Iran has played its biggest weapon,
0.71
00:09:14.320
its toughest weapon, a much more serious weapon than a nuclear weapon,
0.96
00:09:17.640
which is closing the Strait of Hormuz and holding global energy markets,
00:09:22.760
That said, you're going to see a big fight breakout between the Warhawk people, the more neocon side, which just wants to bomb the Middle East and control the whole region, the whole world, and the people who advocate for more restrained foreign policy.
0.80
00:09:35.760
And I think here, if you've got a deal that's even slightly plausible, workable on the table, I think you've got to go for the deal.
0.75
00:09:42.680
I'm very firmly on the deal side here because I think that you're not going to topple the Iranian regime.
00:09:51.600
They will hold on for a very long time. There's no appetite for escalating the war in the United
00:09:56.080
States. There's no appetite for some kind of ground invasion or a war of regime change. There's
00:10:01.120
just no appetite for it. And this could, this digression, this move into Iran, which President
00:10:06.160
Trump sees as a little sort of side quest that he thinks is very important because Iran can't
00:10:10.160
have a nuclear weapon, but you can't have the side quest overwhelm the whole Trump agenda.
00:10:14.420
Don't forget, George W. Bush ran against nation building in 2000, and his entire presidency was
00:10:21.060
defined by nation building. Furthermore, the presidents who are most associated with American
00:10:27.000
strength, the one that comes to mind first, of course, is Ronald Reagan. Let's not forget that
00:10:31.960
Ronald Reagan, when push came to shove on foreign policy, Ronald Reagan was a lot more restrained
00:10:38.740
than a lot of the presidents who came after him. He was a lot more restrained than George H.W. Bush,
00:10:42.840
than George W. Bush, and then Barack Obama, for that matter. Truman, the guy who dropped the
00:10:48.900
nuke. He was actually relatively restrained when it came to Korea. Eisenhower, one of the men who
00:10:53.440
won World War II, was actually pretty restrained as president when it came to the war in Vietnam.
00:10:57.940
So it seems to me, look, I hope there is some kind of deal. I hope it's navigated soon because
00:11:03.900
this really, really could threaten to derail the agenda. And so I say we take the deal.
00:11:09.720
I'm on the side of restraint. And I think my analysis has been pretty good on the Iran war
0.91
00:11:14.500
thus far. Okay, speaking of irrational people, we turn from the Iranian regime to E. Jean Carroll.
00:11:19.500
This story is magnificent. The DOJ is going after E. Jean Carroll. She was one of the left-wing
00:11:29.580
accusers of President Trump. She claimed, I think it was in 2019, that President Trump raped her.
0.99
00:11:37.460
and uh when you asked her about the details on this they got a little fuzzy eugene carroll
00:11:45.060
could not remember the year that the alleged rape occurred she said it occurred in the dressing room
00:11:52.860
of a bergdorf goodman and she said that it occurred sometime in the 90s she couldn't even
00:11:59.060
remember the year best she could say was it was about 25 years prior she didn't really bring it
00:12:03.960
up until Trump was on the ropes running for president. She won an $88 million judgment,
00:12:11.080
two judgments that came to a total of $88 million in New York as New York was trying to
00:12:18.060
destroy Donald Trump, keep him from running for president again,
00:12:22.420
lob all sorts of judgments against him as he was facing indictments, potential jail time,
00:12:27.660
all of this. E. Jean Carroll then goes on CNN with Anderson Cooper. And as she's making this
0.58
00:12:33.780
claim that she was raped by the president also at the same time describes rape as sexy i feel like
00:12:38.980
a victim i was not thrown on the ground and ravished which the word rape carries so many
00:12:44.060
sexual connotations this was not this was not sexual for it just it it hurt it just what it
00:12:52.080
just you know i think most people think of rape as a i mean it is a violent assault it is not i
00:12:58.160
think most people think of rape as being sexy let's take a short break think of the fantasies
00:13:03.760
we're going to take a quick break if you can stick around we'll talk more on the other side
00:13:11.060
you're fascinating to talk to poor anderson cooper says this is the best we got
00:13:16.980
this woman who's obviously nuttier than an almond joy this is the best woman we got and this was
00:13:22.040
always a sign to me that trump having publicly lived such a colorful life he was weirdly kind
0.69
00:13:28.620
of squeaky clean because the best people, the most convincing, credible people that they could
00:13:33.860
get to go after him are this lady. Here's, by the way, here's a more recent video from this lady.
00:13:38.160
Just to show you that the Anderson Cooper video wasn't a one-off, here's a more recent video
00:13:43.080
from Eugene Carroll. I call it the Mouse House because some very distinguished mice live here.
00:13:51.360
Kahneman lives in the kitchen. Taberski lives in the bedroom. This is my shed. And on that side are
00:13:57.460
The books that most influenced me growing up, on the door are the list of my dogs, Marky, Fortuna de la Spunky, Heidi, Tits, Bloody, and Hepburn.
00:14:12.300
The streams and the rivers were dry, and it so horrified me that I came out and started painting the rocks blue to indicate that there was once a river here.
00:14:27.320
I just sort of walked over here and then did that tree
00:14:30.140
and then did that tree and then I did this tree.
00:14:35.560
E. Jean Carroll walks out in a jolly rancher red bob,
00:14:42.500
where she writes random author names all over a shed
0.96
00:14:47.240
And then she said she decided to paint the rocks
0.99
00:14:49.760
and the river to make it clear that there's water there.
00:14:54.040
So she painted the rocks blue. Then she started painting the trees blue. This is like the craziest
00:14:58.560
woman you've ever seen in your entire life. And, and on top of that, in the intervening years
0.85
00:15:05.640
between her supposed rape by Donald Trump and her campaign to go after him, call him a rapist,
00:15:11.320
as she posted on, on Facebook in 2012, she goes too many good TV shows on Sunday night.
00:15:16.060
My goodness. What do you watch? Uh, I'm a massive apprentice fan. He goes, I just love that show
00:15:23.560
by the guy who raped me. Sorry, not sure that I believe that. So why is she being indicted now?
0.98
00:15:31.260
Because she perjured herself. She perjured, allegedly. She, in a testimony, said that she
00:15:37.560
was not being funded by any left-wingers. She was lobbying this legal campaign against Trump
00:15:42.760
all by herself. Turns out that isn't true. She was being funded by this billionaire,
00:15:46.300
Reid Hoffman, the LinkedIn guy, liberal funder. So she lied. And now the DOJ is going after her
00:15:51.300
because perjury is a serious crime. All of this to say, one, Democrats, you had 10 years to do
00:15:56.600
this. You couldn't do it. You couldn't find a single credible accuser against Donald Trump.
00:16:01.200
Two, you come at the king, you best not miss. This is the political advice from the wire.
00:16:06.160
They threw everything they had at Trump. It didn't work. They look ridiculous,
00:16:10.420
really ridiculous. Like they have Jolly Rancher red bobs on and they're painting trees
1.00
00:16:13.520
blue in their backyard. And two, if you are going to go after a guy like this
00:16:20.200
and commit crimes in the process and you fail this is political advice that goes back to
00:16:25.520
ralph waldo emerson goes back to machiavelli goes back to the guy on the wire if you come
00:16:30.600
at the king you best not miss is what eugene carroll did here and what the democrats did
00:16:34.860
with the big funders like reed hoffman did and the party did by pushing her is they they didn't
00:16:39.580
just like try a tactic and it didn't work they they made a very serious claim they committed a
00:16:44.800
crime, and they nearly undermined our whole constitutional system. You're not allowed to
00:16:50.540
do that. So this is great. They're getting exactly what they deserve. And I suspect they're probably
00:16:56.080
regretting putting all of their eggs in the E. Jean Carroll basket, colored, wacky colors like
00:17:02.320
her hair and the trees and the rocks in her yard. Okay. Speaking of Democrat attacks, I want to get
00:17:06.860
to the Epstein issue, which I think you're going to see Democrats pushing more and more as we get
00:17:12.280
into the midterms, what the Epstein issue really means. There's a lot more to say first, though.

Go to expressvpn.com slash Knowles, K-N-W-L-E-S. One of the strange assumptions in modern life
00:17:21.300
is that privacy is somehow suspicious. We've reached a point where people are expected to
00:17:26.060
just hand over enormous amounts of personal data to corporations and then act as though that's
00:17:31.600
perfectly normal. Imagine if a stranger followed you around for an entire week, taking notes on
00:17:36.020
everywhere you went, everything you bought, every article you read, every question you asked,
00:17:41.280
every store you visited. Most people would find that pretty disturbing, wouldn't they? And yet,
00:17:45.120
we just hand that over not only to the government, but to private corporations every single day as
00:17:49.360
though that's totally normal. It's not normal, folks. I've used ExpressVPN for almost a decade
00:17:53.600
at this point. It's great. It protects your data. They themselves don't get to access your data.
00:17:59.980
They'll get all sorts of requests for your data. They can't even hand it over to the people who
00:18:03.760
are requesting it because of their excellent technology. It's great, and it's super easy to
00:18:08.000

00:18:25.840
Is a furry just a costume? Is it an online community? Is it something really weird and
00:18:30.020
creepy and sexual? I sat down, finally, I've wanted to do this interview for a couple of years. It's
00:18:34.760
very, very hard to secure the interview. I sat down with Nathan, a real-life furry,
00:18:54.540
If I wasn't a furry, well, I'd probably be dead.
00:19:01.300
and he said that he saw a big STD screening booth.
00:19:13.460
Would you take your head off, your fur head off,
0.98
00:19:37.360
you have to subscribe to Daily Wire Plus. The Democrats yesterday posted a response to
00:19:45.060
a kind of random story in the Washington Post talking about how the Trump administration
00:19:50.300
is pushing for the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to design a $250 bill featuring
00:19:55.260
President Trump's face. So they say, we have a new $250 bill for the 250th anniversary of America.
00:20:00.000
Let's go have Trump's head on it. It's kind of an innocuous side story. Democrats respond,
00:20:28.940
that when the Epstein issue really hit the fore
00:20:33.080
It was a Democrat scandal because virtually all of the top people that Epstein was palling
00:20:42.320
It was Bill Clinton flying all over on the Lolita Express.
00:20:44.780
It was Bill Gates that he was palling around with.
00:20:47.240
It was liberal heads of state, prime ministers, royalty, business leaders.
00:21:00.580
but this was a Democrat scandal. How did it then become a Trump scandal? Let's not forget
00:21:08.300
that Trump is the one who was prosecuting Epstein. Trump is the one who prosecuted
00:21:13.960
Ghislaine Maxwell, arrested Ghislaine Maxwell. Before that, the president who arrested Epstein
00:21:19.560
was George W. Bush. It was the Republicans who were prosecuting Epstein. It was the Democrats
00:21:26.520
almost entirely who were palling around with Epstein. How did Epstein become a Trump scandal?
00:21:33.420
The Epstein issue, I've talked about Epstein ad nauseum over 10 years now. I think there are a
00:21:38.440
lot of really interesting angles to the Epstein story. But it is simply a fact that today,
00:21:45.200
Jeffrey Epstein is a Democrat talking point. When you look on social media, it is the pro-Democrat
00:21:50.520
bots and operatives, and in this case, the formal accounts of the Democrat Party that are talking
0.58
00:21:57.320
about Jeffrey Epstein, that are trying to insinuate that Trump is a pedophile or that he
00:22:01.680
committed some crimes or that he didn't declassify Epstein information, even though
00:22:05.700
Trump's declassification of the Epstein files is the single largest declassification ever in
00:22:11.060
American history. The arrests and prosecutions in the Epstein case were brought by Republicans,
00:22:16.280
were brought by Donald Trump. How did this become a Democrat talking point? In part,
00:22:23.160
it's because the Dems really don't have much of anything. The best stuff they had to go against
00:22:26.700
Trump with was the babbling lunacy of E. Jean Carroll. They didn't have very much. And
00:22:32.320
ideologically, the Democrats are on the wrong side of the American people on virtually every issue.
00:22:36.960
And wokeism may have killed their electoral chances for a generation. So they come back to
00:22:42.160
that. I want you to hear very clearly what I'm saying. I'm not saying that there's nothing
00:22:47.160
interesting in the Epstein case. I'm not saying that we shouldn't at the very least investigate
00:22:52.280
the rumors that Alex Acosta, when he was being interviewed for a job in the first Trump
00:22:57.080
administration, didn't say that when he was prosecuting Epstein back during the Bush
00:23:02.240
administration, that Epstein belonged to intelligence. I'm not saying we shouldn't
00:23:05.500
investigate that. I'm not saying that the Epstein Island and all the connections,
00:23:10.380
the political connections. I'm not saying all of that's not weird. I'm not saying that there
00:23:15.180
isn't all sorts of evidence of lots of weird, creepy political stuff.
00:23:20.260
What I'm saying is that practically as a political matter, Epstein is just a slogan
00:23:27.760
being used against Trump right now for no reason, by the way, because whenever the Democrats bring
00:23:34.120
up this slogan, like the Democrat Party did right there, notice it's never accompanied by any
00:23:39.840
specific accusations. This happened, some left-wing guy came up when I was doing the TPUSA event with
00:23:45.680
Matt Walsh at Idaho. He said, I'm Epstein and Epstein, Epstein. I said, oh, okay, you think
00:23:49.900
that Trump did something wrong with Epstein. Okay, what is your specific accusation? What are you
00:23:54.240
accusing him of? The guy had no answer. Do you, if you're interested, as I am, if you're interested
00:24:01.340
in the Epstein story, can you think of a specific accusation to make against Trump, some specific
00:24:08.080
evidence of wrongdoing? When you say, well, we need prosecutions, who should be prosecuted and
00:24:14.540
for what? And on what basis? Because prosecutions were brought largely by Trump and in some cases
00:24:20.020
by George Bush, but against whom and for what? Can anyone answer that question? Well, we don't
00:24:26.000
have the files. Yes, you do. You have three and a half million of these files. We've talked about
00:24:29.820
this guy for 10 years. What is the accusation? They all come up short. I'm totally open. I'd
00:24:34.580
love to hear it. Tell me what the accusation is. Tell me what the prosecution is. I don't hear it.
00:24:39.740
So it is just the case that the Epstein issue, there are two things. There's the sign,
00:24:46.600
there's the slogan, there's the word Epstein, and there is the signified, what Epstein,
00:24:51.780
what that is pointing to, what the deeper meaning of that is. Those are different things.
00:24:56.940
What Epstein really means, what he was really up to, how he was palling around with all these
00:25:01.420
foreign leaders and domestic leaders. That's one issue. I'm just saying the sign, the slogan
00:25:06.860
is just a Democrat cudgel to try to beat Trump. The same thing goes for the pro-Palestine
0.83
00:25:14.400
activism, I've noticed. It is not the case that there is nothing interesting and worth talking
00:25:20.780
about and nuanced, complex discussions about the Middle East, the Holy Land, the thorniest
00:25:26.360
political issue in geopolitics. I'm not saying there's nothing interesting there.
00:25:30.240
I have a pretty moderate view. I have a pretty nuanced, complex view of Israel, Palestine, the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, counterbalanced with the real establishment of the state of Israel in 1948, with a war of conquest and independence, with UN declarations, with the Balfour Declaration.
00:25:48.760
That's all really, really interesting. I'm just pointing out that as a sign, not as a signified,
00:25:54.040
as a sign, when you see someone out there with the keffiyeh ranting and raving about
00:25:58.380
river to the sea, pro-Gaza, whatever, as a sign, that is a left-wing cudgel. That is a left-wing
00:26:06.500
talking point. It's Greta Thunberg. It is used simply as a cudgel against the West, against the
0.99
00:26:12.840
United States, against the Trump administration. The same thing goes for affordability.
00:26:18.340
There's the signified, which is that, yeah, there are actually real questions about how
00:26:22.220
Americans can afford things and how our political economy is set up.
00:26:24.860
And, you know, maybe we need to reshore some of our industrial base, and maybe we need
00:26:32.080
Republicans have been talking about that for a while.
00:26:33.660
In fact, it was Trump himself who mainstreamed that within the Republican Party within our
00:26:38.540
But the sign affordability is just some like random Democrat talking point.
00:26:43.740
That's why you're hearing it from people like AOC and Bernie Sanders and Zoran Mamdani,
00:26:46.640
who have never done anything to improve actual affordability for Americans
00:26:51.640
and have ironically only ever punished the working class
00:26:54.020
and who sneer and look down upon the actual working class
1.00
00:26:57.340
and think of them as bitter, clinging, rube idiots to be manipulated,
1.00
00:27:01.340
a kind of unwashed mass of hoi polloi that can maybe be used to garner some votes.
1.00
00:27:07.380
This is, same thing, you're seeing people right now turn against prediction markets,
00:27:14.500
There's a distinction here between that as a political issue and what it really means.
00:27:22.400
I don't think that we should be legalizing gambling and commoditizing everything and financializing everything.
00:27:29.840
But the reason that the Democrats are making that into a slogan right now is because some of the prediction markets are tied to people like Don Jr.
00:27:38.860
Because often the prediction markets aren't looking very good for the Democrats.
00:27:42.220
That's why there's a total chasm between the issues as they should be in themselves and how they are being used in politics.
00:27:53.600
And that is the caution that I'm offering to people right now.
00:27:57.560
Because politics operates on manipulation of signs and symbols and slogans.
00:28:05.540
and the Democrats are so bereft of really strong, meaty issues that they can run on
00:28:13.220
And what they're playing on is Republicans' goodwill and sense of fairness
00:28:17.180
where they say, oh yeah, we really, the Epstein issue is really serious.
00:28:26.260
the way that geopolitics is being talked about right now,
00:28:28.960
the way that affordability is being talked about right now
00:28:30.920
is really in this political environment just being used
00:28:33.800
as a cynical political cudgel, very unfairly against Republicans.
00:28:40.940
One of the real problems in modern life is people increasingly approach dating as a form
00:28:44.680
of entertainment instead of as preparation for marriage.
00:28:48.100
If you're Catholic, marriage is not just a lifestyle preference or a social arrangement.
00:28:52.280
It's a vocation, which means the stakes are a little bit higher than simply finding someone
00:28:58.640
One of the reasons Catholic Match exists, Catholic Match is the largest and most trusted
00:29:02.380
Catholic dating app, specifically focused on helping faithful Catholics build relationships
00:29:06.300
ordered towards sacramental marriage. It's really, really great. It's hard out there. It's hard dating
00:29:11.360
out there. Even if you say, look, I'm Christian, I'm religious, I want to find someone. Even that
00:29:16.200
is a little tough. Even at the traditional Latin mass, which I love, we say the odds are good,
00:29:20.040
but the goods are odd. One thing that Catholic Match seems to understand better than a lot of
0.93
00:29:23.120
mainstream dating apps is that compatibility is not just superficial chemistry. What matters is
00:29:27.960
your shared beliefs, how you approach faith, family, children, even the liturgy. I mentioned
00:29:31.700
my beloved traditional Latin mass. The purpose of marriage really, really matters. Right now,
00:29:35.860

00:29:42.740

00:29:49.720
the gift that keeps on giving. Here is how James Tallarico refers to women in Texas.
00:29:55.980
every one of our neighbors with a uterus became the property of the state one of our neighbors
0.94
00:30:03.200
with the uterus to be able to control their own body neighbors with a uterus that's a new euphemism
0.55
00:30:08.020
hadn't heard that one before neighbors with a uterus because he can't say women because talarico's
00:30:13.120
ideology embraces transgenderism so according to james talarico some women don't have a uterus
00:30:19.540
Some women don't have two X chromosomes. He has to degrade women from women, like, you know,
0.74
00:30:26.480
sugar, spice, and everything nice. Women, compositive body and soul. Women, like a real
1.00
00:30:30.540
thing, to just their sexual parts. And he's not going to walk it back. That's the weird sex stuff.
00:30:37.740
Let's move on to race. Here's James Tallarico in 2020. White skin gives me and every white
00:30:42.600
American immunity from the virus of racism. But we spread it wherever we go through our words,
00:30:49.280
our actions and our systems. We don't have to be showing symptoms like a white hood or a
00:30:53.800
Confederate flag to be contagious. Vote for me, you leprous racists, you infected, disgusting,
1.00
00:31:01.660
disease-ridden mongrels. Vote for me, you white scum, you white trash. Vote for me.
1.00
00:31:09.040
I'm one of the good whites. That is Tallarico on race. Here's Tallarico speaking to the Secretary
0.96
00:31:15.700
of war, before he was secretary of war, Pete Hegseth, about voter ID. Are you OK with voter
00:31:22.100
ID? So voter ID is currently required in the state of Texas. I opposed having to have a driver's
00:31:27.440
license to vote. How about having to send your ballot in? Should you have to prove who you are?
00:31:30.700
Because that's what Democrats are opposing. Pete, I just said I oppose voter ID. Currently,
00:31:35.400
it's a law in Texas, but I oppose that law because I think you don't need an ID. You oppose voter ID?
00:31:39.760
You don't think the most sacred obligation of our republic, you should have to prove who you are in
00:31:45.580
order to vote? So there are a lot of Texans, actually hundreds of thousands who don't have
00:31:49.280
a driver's license. So yeah, I oppose voter ID. Voter ID is a 90-10 issue. The majority of
00:31:55.880
Democrats, forget Republicans, majority of Democrats support voter ID. Tallarico comes
00:32:00.000
out. No, absolutely. I oppose voter ID. And they oppose voter ID, of course, because they're relying
00:32:04.600
on foreigners to give them elections. There's no end to this. The oppo is endless. Okay. And so
0.96
00:32:11.440
the Democrats are in this really tough position because they're pretending that Tallarico is this
00:32:15.420
great candidate. I said from the very beginning, Tallarico is Buttigieg. He's the gay Pete Buttigieg,
00:32:20.340
or he's Beto O'Rourke. He's another one of these guys where the libs say, we hate white people,
0.99
00:32:25.540
we hate men, we hate straight people, or at least nominally straight people.
1.00
00:32:30.380
We hate all of them. But you know what? We can convince those rubes, those dumb idiot voters,
1.00
00:32:35.100
that we're going to put someone who appears to be a straight white male up, and we're going to say
1.00
00:32:41.620
that makes him look really moderate, but he's going to have all the most extreme woke ideology
00:32:45.500
and that'll fool him. It's one of the defining features I think of the Dems is they have no
00:32:50.080
respect whatsoever for voters, no respect at all. Rodney Dangerfield, no respect, no respect they
00:32:55.020
give them. So they really believe this guy is the future of the Democrat party. And I think he's
00:33:01.380
pretty weak. I mean, we got to make sure that we run good campaigns to beat him. Paxton needs to
00:33:04.800
run a good campaign, but I think he's relatively weak. And so because on all of these issues,
00:33:10.080
the Dems are so out of step with the American people. Just look at voter ID, 90-10. They oppose
00:33:14.400
the vast majority of Americans. Because of that, you're going to see an increased focus
0.82
00:33:19.280
on these kind of digressions, these insinuations, these side quests that don't even really in any
00:33:26.140
way seriously implicate Republicans. If they did, they implicate the Democrats way more.
00:33:30.180
But you're going to see a big focus on that. And my big warning is just don't be a sucker for it.
0.98
00:33:33.980
Don't allow yourself to be manipulated by Democrat propaganda, or in some cases,
0.97
00:33:37.300
foreign propaganda. Now, speaking of campaign activism, really, really scary story that,
00:33:43.120
thank God, turned out okay. A guy was arrested yesterday for threatening to murder Erica Kirk
00:33:48.980
and a whole slate of speakers at TPSA. I'm not going to say this guy's name. He's from San Antonio.
00:33:56.420
Basically a white looking guy, almost combed hair. You might say, well, hold on. Is this guy,
00:34:01.960
is he on the left or on the right? There are freaks and weirdos all across the political
00:34:05.540
spectrum. And Erica has been, you know, attacked on all fronts in a horrific, just terrible way.
00:34:14.740
So where does this guy come from? What did he say? He said, death to Erica Kirk and every single
00:34:20.380
speaker there, America will live on without these scum on the earth. Then he says, every Christian
1.00
00:34:26.860
nationalist shall perish in the bombing that will take place at every single turning point rally
0.98
00:34:31.400
end event. Really horrifying. This is especially horrifying because Erica has experienced just
0.68
00:34:40.360
about the worst thing you can possibly experience. And she's gone through it all with an immense
00:34:45.220
amount of grace, a heroic amount of grace. And it's really a model for everybody, I think.
00:34:51.340
And because obviously of what happened to Charlie. However, there have been threats and even
00:34:58.000
assassination attempts against a lot of conservative speakers, TPUSA speakers,
00:35:02.500
YAF speakers, ISI speakers for years and years and years now. We have been dealing with these
00:35:06.680
kinds of threats for well over a decade. Where is this guy coming from? He's coming from the left.
00:35:15.580
All of the attacks on Erica Kirk are awful, terrible, horrifying in every single way.
00:35:21.860
But when we're trying to focus in on where the real threat lies, where the real problem lies,
00:35:27.240
is it some conspiracy theorists? Is it freaks on the right? Is it some horseshoe theory thing?
00:35:32.600
Is it Christian nationalism? Is it neo-Nazism? Is it this, is it that? Is it this, is it that?
00:35:38.040
It is undeniable that the chief, most urgent, most real political threat comes from the left.
00:35:45.940
The guy who threatened to kill Erica Kirk and this whole slate of TPSA speakers
00:35:49.860
is from the same place as the person who murdered Charlie Kirk. He's from the left. He's in vain
00:35:56.960
against the Christian nationalists here. His attack is from the left. That is where the real
00:36:02.220
threat is. That is where the real threat has always been. That is why we need to focus our
00:36:07.820
political attention and our political muscle to make sure that these people never get any political
00:36:13.340
power. Okay. Speaking of real threats, Brandon Gill, rising star in Congress, just came out
00:36:19.900
and he was warning that Islam will destroy America if we don't stop it.
00:36:24.460
why are we seeing terrorist attacks from radical islam within our own borders where did this come
0.82
00:36:31.980
from islam is largely alien to american history it certainly didn't come into the into the united
00:36:38.140
states on the mayflower it's something that we deliberately imported as a matter of immigration
1.00
00:36:44.140
policy into our country and it's going to destroy us just like it's destroying europe right now
0.99
00:36:50.060
it's our job to stand up to that to stand up for our values and to prohibit alien cultures
0.89
00:36:57.680
and alien ideologies that do not comport with our own government governing framework and that's why
00:37:03.920
i'm proud to be part of the sharia free america caucus okay so brandon gill coming out saying
00:37:09.480
islam is a major major threat what's really interesting about this because brandon gill
0.54
00:37:14.220
is one of the real rising star Republican politicians of our generation. What's interesting
1.00
00:37:20.480
is that a segment of the very online right has gone a little bit soft on Islam. It's gone a
00:37:26.520
little bit soft on Islam. The very, very online, very avant-garde kind of right has gone a little
00:37:32.700
bit soft on Islam, has suggested maybe there's some way to work with Islam, to accommodate Islam.
00:37:38.640
And in part, this is because they see Islam as anti-Islam, rather, anti-Islam activism as pro-Israel, and they really don't like Israel.
00:37:49.360
And my warning to some of these people is don't ever become so anti-Semitic that you go soft on Islam.
00:38:02.340
That was just my general historical and religious and spiritual advice.
00:38:07.440
But certainly do not do that in such a way that you go soft on Islam. That's really crazy.
0.54
00:38:16.580
That too, I think, is a little bit of an op. Getting back to what we were talking about at
00:38:19.760
the top, how these political issues shade, how they code, what they signify from one side to
00:38:26.760
the next. Yes, there are all sorts of interesting questions about the nation state of Israel and
00:38:32.440
all sorts of different ways that people try to justify it based on the theology of Christian
00:38:36.520
Zionism, this kind of more novel, niche Protestant theology, which I obviously don't believe in,
00:38:42.480
or on the nationalist ideology of Zionism, even a secular kind of nationalist ideology,
00:38:49.180
which a lot of people are nationalists these days. I, however, am very conservative and
00:38:53.120
traditional. So I think 1848 was a bad turn, actually. I think even the rise of nationalism
00:38:57.600
as a modern ideology isn't quite right politically. You can defend the state of Israel
00:39:02.400
on the basis of U.N. charters and wars of conquest and the Balfour Declaration and all
00:39:07.680
political alliances. And that, I think, is much more solid ground. But it is simply the case,
00:39:13.500
despite anyone's problems with the state of Israel. Obviously, that's a big talk on the
00:39:19.060
very online right. It is simply the case today that pro-Israel maps right wing, anti-Israel
00:39:26.920
maps left wing. Pro-Islam maps left wing. Anti-Islam maps right wing. I'm not even like
0.75
00:39:35.160
the most anti-Muslim person in the world. Certainly not. I've said for many, many years,
00:39:40.080
I can have a conversation with a Muslim in many ways much more easily than I can with a secular
00:39:44.720
liberal atheist. Much more easily. I think they have a mistaken conception of God. I think they
00:39:49.660
should not deny the crucifixion, for instance. They should not deny the incarnation as they do.
00:39:53.320
I think their conception of God is voluntarist, so it makes a God who is perfectly transcendent,
00:39:59.020
who is not identified as the Christian God is, with the logos, with the divine logic. There are
00:40:03.260
all sorts of interesting conversations to be had there. However, let's not be betraying the legacy
00:40:09.760
of Charles Martel and John of Austria and all the rest of them, you know, Battle of Poitiers,
00:40:15.220
Battle of Lepanto, Battle of Vienna. Islam really has posed a threat to the West for 1,400 years.
1.00
00:40:21.580
that dynamic has not changed. And I do think some people are getting a little bit manipulated
0.65
00:40:27.000
as happens. Okay. Speaking of dissident and alternate views on the right, I guess I should
00:40:33.080
address, I'm told, I was told this by my producers that the libertarian comedian podcaster, Dave
00:40:40.660
Smith has responded to my response, to his response to my political prediction. I think
00:40:50.060
all of this started because I said, I thought Thomas Massey was going to lose because he broke
00:40:54.660
with the GOP and the GOP was going to come after him. And then I, Dave came out. If I think if I'm
00:40:59.440
having this correctly, Dave came out and said, he thought Thomas Massey was going to win.
00:41:03.940
And he looked forward to my reaction when Thomas Massey won his primary campaign. And I said,
00:41:10.540
look, I'm not even saying anything against Massey or I just, I think he's going to lose.
00:41:14.600
And so I guess you're never going to get my reaction because I was right.
00:41:17.340
And then he responded to that response, and then I responded.
00:41:22.300
So now here is Dave Smith's response, because we invited him on one of our shows, the Bar Fight show.
00:41:30.060
He'll be the libertarian, and we'll get some left-winger.
00:41:32.240
And it's a show mostly on the Daily Wire platform, but I said, that'd be a good venue to have Dave on.
00:41:37.200
We could talk about these issues between the ideologies.
00:41:39.100
Anyway, here's Dave's response to my response to Dave's response to me.
00:41:41.960
it's, it's a little bit weird when Michael Knowles knows full well that there's like an
00:41:50.340
open invite to like, let's have a conversation, which we could both jump on tomorrow for him to
00:41:56.660
go, you know, I would maybe like to get Dave on a fight night. Cause it'd be like a cool dynamic
00:42:01.640
with the left and the right. If you're doing a video about it, man, let's just talk about this.
00:42:07.140
why is it that your side is so averse to this very simple idea of having a conversation about this
00:42:16.740
like we can do it tomorrow I literally mean this Michael you can sit in your home studio
00:42:24.020
and I can sit in my home studio and we can talk about this issue why is it like I have to fly to
00:42:30.460
D.C. for no money on 24 hours notice for no audience. This doesn't seem reasonable to me.
00:42:38.120
Maybe Dave misunderstood what the invite was. I don't know. I'm not really all that involved in
00:42:42.100
booking the shows. But we don't shoot in D.C. We shoot in Nashville. And I don't know. I thought
00:42:48.920
I was trying to I was trying to be nice. I don't know. I thought it'd be interesting. You have
00:42:53.000
this bar fight show, which does have quite an eye. It has a live audience and it has a virtual
00:42:58.300
audience. It's mostly on the Daily Wire platform, but it's a good audience between a conservative
00:43:03.640
and a libertarian and a leftist to find the nuances of all those sorts of shades of political
00:43:11.060
identity. So I don't know. No good deed goes unpunished. I don't know. He doesn't want to
00:43:15.060
come on the show. That's fine. But the reason that I even entertained responding to Dave Smith's
00:43:22.040
response, to my response, to Dave Smith's response, to my observation about Dave Smith's prediction,
00:43:27.720
The reason that I find it even worth commenting on
00:43:44.480
What are the things we're going to be debating?
00:43:57.420
are we debating? I don't know. I actually don't know what it is. Are we debating Thomas Massey?
00:44:02.860
I don't hate Thomas Massey. I just thought he was going to lose and he thought he was going to win
00:44:06.620
and I was right. I don't know what we would be debating there. Are we debating the Trump,
00:44:13.340
the Trump administration? I guess I, are we debating the war in Iran? I argued against the
00:44:18.760
war in Iran as did he. So I don't know what the, are we debating? What are we debating? I don't
00:44:25.760
know what we're debating. And I guess this is my broader question about a lot of the podcast babble
00:44:33.360
where just like the same seven people go on each other's shows all the time is what, I guess the
00:44:38.160
reason I thought it'd be good to have Dave on the show is I think it's really interesting to find
00:44:41.460
those real lanes between here's what a conservative believes about all these issues. Here's what a
00:44:45.340
libertarian believes about all these issues. Here's what a leftist believes about all these
00:44:48.160
issues. But so much of the political media now, it's just people talking in circles about what
00:45:25.520
I thought a debate show would be a good way to do that.
00:45:38.420
First though, go to hillsdale.edu slash revolution.
00:45:43.540
This is the question America's founding fathers
00:45:49.180
until Britain declared they had no right to self-rule.
00:45:51.480
So ordinary people had to make extraordinary choices and risk their lives their fortunes and their sacred honor to fight for independence against all odds
00:45:58.340
They won and in victory they built one of the most stable and lasting republics in history
00:46:02.420
Now experience the american revolution like never before thanks to our friends at hillsdale college
00:46:07.180
Revolutionary america a new documentary from hillsdale studios narrated by tom sellick
00:46:11.540
Brings the founding of our nation to life through the voices of those who lived it alongside insights from leading scholars and commentators and most importantly me
00:46:50.940
One more time, that is hillsdale.edu slash revolution.
00:47:01.180
PNWVibe says, Michael Knowles is my favorite Big Mike.
00:47:16.080
I heard you were being mean to the Mauger Professor Jacob.
00:47:19.100
Do not do this. Jacob is one of the greatest Jews to ever live, with the IQ of Albert Einstein, to the sense of humor of Adam Sandler, to the political knowledge of Ben Shapiro. He has it all. You should also give him a raise. Anyway, my question is this. What is your favorite Jewish dish to eat? I know the Arabs say hummus is theirs, but it is not, so you can say that too. Love the show. Thank you.
00:47:49.100
Wow. Really incisive question, Mr. Prime Minister. Thank you for, I didn't know you
00:47:54.340
watched the show, but I appreciate you dialing in. I'll take your thoughts on Professor Jacob
00:47:58.260
into consideration. My favorite Jewish dish. That's very simple. My favorite Jewish dish
00:48:02.680
would be pastrami and mustard on rye bread. Some Jewish food is very good. Some of it's very bad.
00:48:09.360
Some of it's very, very bad. What's the, shakshuka is very bad. I don't like that.
0.98
00:48:19.720
But some Jewish dishes are very, very delicious,
00:48:43.300
Well, I guess the basic one is just like a bagel.
00:48:46.660
Like a bagel with lox and cream cheese is probably the best.
00:48:52.720
This maps on to my very moderate view on geopolitics and the state of Israel.
00:48:58.400
I guess I have a moderate view on Jewish food, too.
00:49:11.720
So, since you've talked often about the importance of Americans having our founding myths, I'm curious as to your opinion on what Matt Walsh is doing with his analysis on civil rights figures like John Brown, MLK, and Rosa Parks.
00:49:27.360
Because I don't disagree with him on any of the facts, but a nation does need its heroes, and I'm concerned that if we tear down MLK, well, we both know who's going to replace him.
00:49:41.720
Oh, a really thoughtful question, Arun. This is a great point. Obviously,
00:49:45.880
Walsh's Real History series is doing very, very well. I encourage you all to go watch it. Go
00:49:49.840
check it out on Daily Wire. It's doing great. But you raise a really good point, which is, well,
00:49:54.500
should we really be tearing down the heroes of the left? Should we always be tearing down the
00:50:01.560
heroes of the left? Is that always prudent, even if they kind of deserve it sometimes?
00:50:06.100
is that, does that put us in a similar position as the left is in when they tear down statues
00:50:12.840
of George Washington? Could the destruction of left-wing heroes end up being a pyrrhic victory
00:50:18.460
because it causes more political turmoil than it actually improves? I think that's a really
00:50:24.200
thoughtful point. Because you think of someone like MLK, you can say lots of terrible things
00:50:28.460
about MLK. He was apparently present for the rape of a woman. He was a womanizer. All this stuff is
0.96
00:50:33.680
public. But even politically speaking, we read MLK based on one line of one speech, which is,
00:50:40.380
I have a dream that one day it won't matter if you're black or white and we'll all get along.
00:50:44.660
That's basically what 99.999% of people think MLK is. But you could also read MLK
00:50:52.420
as an identitarian who was very specifically focused on his race, on black people as such,
00:51:01.780
who was open to some communists and socialists who was pushing for the massive growth of
00:51:09.140
government who was like opposing a lot of stuff that we conservatives would support
00:51:12.960
so what do we do do we tear down mlk for his personal failings and the radical parts of his
00:51:17.380
ideology no i think probably the more prudent political path is to pull out of mlk the good
00:51:23.620
stuff that we can namely i have a dream that's that's the one and then we don't want to lie
00:51:30.560
about who MLK is. But if we're going to create a political myth, if we're going to have a sort of
00:51:38.040
demigod added to the pantheon of American great men, we want to make sure that his defining
00:51:44.140
characteristics are the good ones, the ones that we actually want people to emulate. A diplomat
00:51:49.260
friend of mine once pointed this out. He said, Michael, do you know the difference between a
00:51:52.420
flatterer and a diplomat? A flatterer lies to you to ingratiate himself to you. A diplomat
00:52:00.380
only focuses on the good things, which is not a lie. It's a little selective,
00:52:05.780
but it's much more politically effective. That's how I feel with most of the left-wing icons.
00:52:09.960
Some of them really do need to be torn down. Angela Davis is a terrorist. She needs to be
0.99
00:52:13.980
torn down. Some of the foreign idols of the left, Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, obviously those guys,
00:52:18.000
we got to displace them. But some of the more liberal figures in American history,
00:52:22.360
like Martin Luther King, let's pull out the good things. Like Franklin Roosevelt, who was a
00:52:27.480
radical leftist in so many ways almost destroyed and maybe did destroy our system of government.
00:52:31.840
Well, he also curtailed the radical predations of the socialists and the communists. Some would say
00:52:38.920
he actually preserved our capitalist system. Woodrow Wilson was a radical leftist who destroyed
00:52:44.620
our system of government in many ways. It was the architect of the administrative state,
00:52:49.220
but also he put Eugene Debs, the socialist in prison. Also, he really persecuted the,
00:52:55.800
brought the heavy hand of the law down on radical leftists in the government.
00:52:58.920
So I would say maybe you focus on the good things there.
00:53:03.420
but we also want to tell the truth in a way that is politically prudent
00:53:06.660
and actually edifying and helps build up our republic.
00:53:15.120
It's purely destructive, and it will not redound to our benefit.
00:53:21.420
Pavel spends 24 hours with the heroes of Halo Flights,
00:53:24.380
It's the helicopter ambulance team that flies into the remote wilderness of South Texas to save lives.
00:53:36.440
After a 16-hour drive, we made it to Corpus Christi, Texas.
00:53:41.040
And today we're going to spend some time with Halo Flight Team.
00:53:49.640
In translation, they fly cool helicopters and rescue people.
00:53:54.380
Today, they are going to give me some hands-on experience being a helicopter paramedic
00:53:58.940
so that I can learn how a real man supports people in need.
00:54:02.840
Colton, I know nobody loves you, but do you want me to call someone?
00:54:16.660
To meet the elite pilots and flight nurses who show up on the worst days of people's lives
00:54:20.880
and bring them home alive and to see the rest of Be A Man With Me,
