00:00:00.000 Folks, very excited to say I will be at the Zeal for America 250 rally this June 13th.
00:00:05.040 I will be there with His Eminence Raymond Cardinal Burke for a powerful day of prayer
00:00:10.820 and conversation as we mark America's 250th birthday.
00:00:14.340 If you are within driving distance of La Crosse, Wisconsin, I strongly encourage you to be
00:00:19.140 there in person.
00:00:20.420 If you can't make it, we will also be offering a live stream so you can still take part.
00:00:24.340 Go to catholicvote.org to get your tickets or to sign up to watch.
00:00:54.340 The crew is here to give you a trip home that goes just as planned.
00:00:58.060 KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, when you travel, travel well.
00:01:02.140 The Trump administration has announced an historic campaign
00:01:04.960 to denaturalize immigrants who currently have U.S. citizenship.
00:01:09.540 I want to make sure you heard that correctly, that you understand what that means.
00:01:13.860 In the immigration debate, for most of my life, there were two positions you could hold.
00:01:17.540 You could want more legal immigration, but less illegal immigration.
00:01:21.040 or you could want more legal immigration and more illegal immigration.
00:01:26.420 Those were the two positions.
00:01:27.760 Then Trump came around and changed the conversation.
00:01:30.460 After 2016, there was a third option.
00:01:32.920 You could want less illegal immigration and less legal immigration.
00:01:37.640 That was a great improvement.
00:01:39.320 What we're talking about here is something much further, a fourth option. 0.99
00:01:44.600 You can now want to revoke the citizenship of immigrants who have already obtained it.
00:01:50.200 And the Trump administration is actually pursuing that option. 0.92
00:01:53.680 And this is exactly what I voted for.
00:01:56.200 We will get into the specifics of how it will play out. 1.00
00:01:58.440 Then, nerdy girls in Silicon Valley are turning to prostitution as AI takes their jobs.
00:02:03.820 And speaking of prostitution, Hunter Biden attempts a rebrand.
00:02:07.360 I'm Michael Knowles.
00:02:08.060 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:02:43.840 young women leadership summit we will get to what that should tell us about the political order
00:02:49.880 and the very robust future of TPUSA.
00:02:53.520 First, I want to tell you about Halo.
00:02:55.360 Go to halo.com slash Knowles.
00:02:58.380 It's very, very important as we all prepare for vacation season.
00:03:03.260 The kids are at a school.
00:03:05.020 We've still got all of our work responsibilities.
00:03:07.000 It's very, very important to pay attention to our prayer life.
00:03:09.940 It's very easy to lose that prayer life.
00:03:11.720 But we pay a lot of attention to politics, culture, work, family responsibilities,
00:03:15.700 the endless stream of information coming at us every day.
00:03:17.900 The question is, how much time do we devote to our spiritual lives?
00:03:22.220 Hallow makes it easy.
00:03:23.940 Hallow just helps you do the thing you already want to do.
00:03:26.640 Hallow is the world's largest Catholic prayer app.
00:03:29.220 It's become a practical tool for people who want to build a more consistent prayer routine.
00:03:33.600 I love it.
00:03:34.200 I've had Hallow for how long now?
00:03:36.020 Oh, my goodness.
00:03:36.580 I remember the first time I heard about Hallow even was, I don't know, five, six years ago.
00:03:40.520 They said, this could be the biggest app ever.
00:03:42.020 And I said, yeah, well, it's a good app, but it's prayer.
00:03:44.740 I don't know.
00:03:45.400 Then it just dominates the app store.
00:03:47.240 One thing Halo understands is that most people are not struggling because they don't want to pray.
00:03:51.700 They're struggling because life is busy.
00:03:53.420 The app makes it easier to incorporate prayer into daily life through guided prayers,
00:03:56.440 scripture, meditations, rosary, sleep content, catechesis,
00:03:59.220 and challenges led by Catholic voices people already know and trust.
00:04:03.300 I find when my prayer life is in order, life goes a lot better.
00:04:07.420 And I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing.
00:04:08.560 And when my prayer life starts to fall out of order, life gets a little tougher.

00:04:20.680 This is so, so great. I love it. And already the naysayers and the whiners and the complainers,
00:04:28.740 they're going to say, well, they're not denaturalizing enough citizens. Well, yeah,
00:04:35.860 look, well, I know that Biden was letting in 3 million illegals per year on top of all the
00:04:39.740 legal immigrants. And I know that Trump closed down the border and stopped those illegals,
00:04:43.300 3 million illegals per year from coming in. And I know he deported about 2 million illegals on top
00:04:48.480 of that. And I know he's denaturalizing US citizens who are immigrants because they defrauded the
00:04:57.300 government on their immigration applications. But it's not enough. Yeah, okay, man, whatever.
00:05:01.980 It's like just such a massive shift from even two years ago. Are you kidding me? And a massive
00:05:07.960 shift from the last, I don't know, 60 years of immigration policy. Here is the vice president
00:05:13.140 explaining the policy. Yeah, well, absolutely. And that's one of the angles that we're looking
00:05:19.060 at is the people who committed immigration fraud against our system. And how do we denaturalize
00:05:23.360 those people and send them back to where they came from? There's also, as you know, Will, 0.71
00:05:27.680 under the Biden administration, there was a big blurring of the lines between illegal and legal
00:05:32.300 immigration. The Biden administration would often take people who are coming in on fraudulent asylum
00:05:37.760 claims, fraudulent refugee claims, and basically wave the magic wand of amnesty and say, we're not
00:05:43.160 going to enforce the immigration laws against those people. The first thing, and maybe the most
00:05:47.900 important thing that we did in the Trump administration is that we stopped that from
00:05:51.200 happening. But then you still have a lot of people who benefited from that Biden administration
00:05:56.220 amnesty program. We're trying to unwind as much of that as possible. We've already had some success,
00:06:01.200 by the way, Will, despite the fact that left-wing radicals in the justice system, the court system,
00:06:06.780 have tried to stop us, we have been able to denaturalize and actually unwind that temporary
00:06:12.620 protected status. The good news is that we're stopping the fraud that's happening against the
00:06:17.020 American taxpayer. The bad news is that my own children will never be able to attend school at
00:06:21.920 the Quality Leering Center. Great little singer there at the end. Unfortunately, Mike, we were
00:06:28.960 just applying for the Somali Quality Leering Center in Minnesota, and we haven't heard back
00:06:34.240 from them yet. This is really great news. It's really great for the vice president, 1.00
00:06:39.700 the vice president who was put in charge of the fraud task force from the White House.
00:06:44.680 And it's always dangerous for vice presidents because the White House will often put them
00:06:49.260 in charge of things that they don't want to deal with and then not give them the resources to do
00:06:53.200 anything with it. So the perfect example of this is Kamala Harris under Biden. Biden said, hey, 0.94
00:06:58.600 I'm going to put you in charge of the border. You're going to have to fix the border. But
00:07:02.740 Kamala Harris was totally incompetent, totally incapable of doing that. And the White House 1.00
00:07:07.120 didn't actually want her to close the border anyway. The White House wanted open borders 0.80
00:07:10.600 under Joe Biden. So in this case, they said, okay, we're going to put J.D. Vance, we're going
00:07:14.300 to put the VP in charge of fraud. And you say, well, hold on, can the VP do that? Will the White
00:07:21.060 House back the VP in doing that? And the VP's scoring big wins here, scoring major wins,
00:07:26.640 unwinding a lot of that fraud. First of all, exposing a ton of the fraud,
00:07:29.980 working with the conservative journalists, including our own Luke Rosiak,
00:07:35.900 Daily Wire's own Luke Rosiak, who exposed a lot of that fraud in Ohio to put a spotlight on that.
00:07:40.740 And then unwinding a lot of that, unwinding a lot of the red tape and protections that
00:07:44.840 Joe Biden had put into place. And now we're seeing actually denaturalizing U.S. citizens
00:07:50.600 who are caught up in the fraud. So according to CBS, the Trump admin is seeking to revoke
00:07:56.640 the citizenship of 17 U.S. citizens accused of immigration fraud. This is, according to CBS,
00:08:03.060 an unprecedented denaturalization campaign. I know a lot of people are going to say,
00:08:07.300 17? Only 17? I want to do 17 million. Forget about 17. Yeah, sure. But we haven't really
00:08:15.580 seen this before. New York Times, CBS, all reporting this is unprecedented. This is obviously
00:08:20.920 a test run for a broader campaign. It's completely shifting the momentum on the
00:08:26.180 immigration debate. It's expanding the Overton window of how we can even speak about immigration
00:08:30.360 for all the people throwing popcorn from the sidelines and say, how many people have you
00:08:34.280 ever denaturalized? How many immigrants and illegal immigrants and fraudsters on temporary 0.99
00:08:40.000 visas, how many of those people have you gotten out of the country? None. This is very,
00:08:44.160 very impressive stuff. So federal law, according to CBS, has long allowed the government to try
00:08:50.300 to denaturalize foreign-born US citizens who have committed fraud. But the process has been
00:08:56.060 historically lengthy, complex, seldom exercised, requiring officials to persuade a lot of judges.
00:09:03.500 So sure, the federal government had this power. They basically never used it, though. Trump is
00:09:06.880 putting this into overdrive. The Trump admin has sought to vastly escalate denaturalization efforts
00:09:13.860 as part of its larger crackdown on illegal and legal immigration. I love this. I'm all for this. 0.99
00:09:20.260 This was not even a view you could express on immigration for most of my life.
00:09:24.600 But the problem with immigration is not just that people filled out the wrong paperwork.
00:09:28.560 The problem with immigration is not just that they need to make sure they do it the right way.
00:09:33.600 The problem with mass migration is that it frays social solidarity, 0.66
00:09:37.500 radically changes the demographics of a country, destabilizes the political order,
00:09:42.900 and undermines sovereignty. That's the problem with mass migration. It's not even a problem 0.71
00:09:46.140 with the migrants themselves. It's fun to beat up on the Somalis, and the Somalis have committed a 1.00
00:09:50.040 lot of crimes. It's fun to beat up on those Venezuelan gangsters, and they've committed a 1.00
00:09:53.580 lot of crimes too. But it's not even anything against Somalis as such or Venezuelans as such. 0.96
00:09:58.920 It's just we have the highest foreign-born percentage of population ever, and you can't 0.51
00:10:03.200 sustain that. It's just not supportable by political order. So Trump is cracking down 0.99
00:10:07.900 on all of it. Some of these 17 citizens targeted in the denaturalization campaign
00:10:13.060 were convicted of violent or serious crimes, including sex offenses against children.
00:10:18.840 Others were convicted of fraud crimes or accused of committing immigration fraud.
00:10:22.060 So the political benefit of this, too, is you're now going to put Democrats in the position of 0.97
00:10:26.920 defending chomos and pedophiles. That's what you're going to do. And you're putting Dems 0.99
00:10:31.180 in that position, and they'll do it, by the way. They will do it. They're going to try to avoid
00:10:34.700 the specifics, but then the conservatives can just smack them with the specifics and say,
00:10:38.520 look, we're on the side of Americans who voted with the popular vote to get rid of a lot of the
00:10:44.380 illegal aliens and the foreign-born people broadly. And you, Democrats, are spending all of your 0.99
00:10:50.800 political effort to defend CHOMOs. So good luck. This is what I voted for. Love it. Love to see 0.80
00:10:57.320 it. Can't wait for this largest unprecedented denaturalization campaign to accelerate much,
00:11:03.140 much further. Speaking of body counts, headline out of Forbes, the nerdy escorts cashing in on
00:11:10.720 Silicon Valley's AI boom. It turns out that hookers who have an above average IQ, at least 1.00
00:11:19.420 above the average for hookers who have a little more book learning than most prostitutes are 1.00
00:11:24.340 making bank in Silicon Valley, selling their courtesan wiles to tech oligarchs. I'll just 1.00
00:11:31.700 read you a little bit from this story. It's worth reading the whole thing. In 2024, Maida Marek,
00:11:39.660 which is an online pseudonym, was a recent college graduate working an entry-level finance job
00:11:44.600 when she started doing the mental math that is fast becoming a rite of passage in such industry.
00:11:50.300 What happens when AI can do this better than I can?
00:11:55.060 I was just talking to a guy who said his kid graduated with a data science degree from a very good school, and he can't get a job.
00:12:02.440 He can't get a job because those sectors, actually a lot of sectors, are undergoing this massive revolution because AI is just gobbling up all of their jobs.
00:12:12.160 So she says, all right, hold on.
00:12:13.340 I'm a college graduate.
00:12:15.000 I've spent all my money on university education.
00:12:17.140 I've got this finance job.
00:12:18.580 But within a matter of weeks, perhaps, AI is going to take my job. So what can I do?
00:12:25.160 Merrick took inventory. She was intelligent and naturally supportive. She was good at talking to
00:12:30.080 people. She likes futurist rabbit holes, AI, biohacking, cryptocurrency, the sort of topics
00:12:34.860 that can turn dinner into a three-hour debate. So she decided to turn that toolkit into a new career
00:12:39.980 and became an escort. Man, however bad you think the economy is or is about to become,
00:12:50.160 however unstable you think our political order is or is about to become, it's so much worse than
00:12:55.740 that. You have got college graduates who might have hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt,
00:13:01.520 who have learned technically difficult skills. You have them becoming hookers because that's 0.99
00:13:07.340 the best career option for them, at least in their own minds. It's going to be very easy to 0.98
00:13:12.820 make fun of this woman or women like her. It's going to be very easy to make jokes.
00:13:18.920 She is responding to market pressure. She is responding to market pressure to provide what 0.98
00:13:25.740 AI cannot. That is real. Her observation, her entry-level job that AI is about to do her job
00:13:33.080 better than she can, if it can already, that is real. She's right about that. Her realization
00:13:40.260 that she needs to be able to do something that AI cannot do is real. She's not just making that up.
00:13:48.100 And what has she realized that she can offer that AI cannot? Her body. She said, well,
00:13:56.080 the one thing that AI does not have that I do have is a body. So I am going to sell my body.
00:14:03.080 That is not a totally irrational conclusion to draw. It's still the wrong conclusion,
00:14:09.060 but it's not totally irrational. She's getting at something that's true. 0.86
00:14:14.680 She's just taking it down the totally wrong path. It is true that human beings have something to
00:14:20.540 offer that AI does not. And it's not our ability to crunch numbers, and it's not our ability to
00:14:25.740 do research necessarily. It's not our ability to be a lawyer or an accountant or anything like that.
00:14:33.080 But what we have to offer is not just our body.
00:14:36.420 It's our humanity.
00:14:38.960 And for materialists, this is kind of hard to grasp, that humanity is more than the body.
00:14:47.620 For materialists, we're just big blobs of flesh.
00:14:50.500 We're just meat puppets with pistons firing in our heads and blood going through our veins.
00:14:55.000 But there's more to that.
00:14:56.320 A human being is a compositive body and soul.
00:14:59.880 And so the body is very important to that.
00:15:01.560 A lot of people have forgotten that in recent years. That's what the transgender phenomenon
00:15:04.400 was about. But what does that mean? What can we offer that AI cannot? Are we all just doomed to
00:15:11.360 become hookers? And for those of us who aren't runway supermodels, does that mean we're just 0.86
00:15:17.760 totally up a creek without a paddle? No. I was having a debate with a big proponent of AI.
00:15:24.560 and I observed that there is something that I can do that AI cannot do. And it's not that thing
00:15:33.600 that this lady is doing in a bed with the Silicon Valley guy. The thing that I can do that AI cannot
00:15:38.280 do is I can write a poem. AI can't write a poem. This has become a big debate among people who are
00:15:44.920 looking at the future of AI. AI actually can't write a poem. The reason that AI cannot write
00:15:50.260 a poem is that in order to write poetry, you need two things, and they're connected.
00:15:57.820 Really, you just need one thing. In order to write poetry, you need to be able to come up
00:16:01.660 with fresh metaphors. Most of the language that we use is just dead metaphors. The words that we
00:16:07.640 use in our everyday conversation began as poetry, much more evocative kinds of language. Today,
00:16:14.300 I'll use one that people use often.
00:16:18.440 Say, he was hoisted with his own petard.
00:16:20.600 Most people will use that expression.
00:16:22.840 I guess it's a little bit of a fancy expression, but people will use it.
00:16:25.780 Many other such expressions.
00:16:27.160 They'll say, so-and-so was hoisted with his own petard.
00:16:29.360 But when people use that expression, it's not a fresh metaphor.
00:16:32.120 They're using it as a dead metaphor.
00:16:33.200 They don't know what a petard is.
00:16:34.300 They just know that that's an expression that means that he undermined himself.
00:16:39.820 That the thing that he was doing that he thought was going to help him actually ended up hurting him.
00:16:44.300 but that is a metaphor. We, human beings, can come up with new metaphors. The reason that we
00:16:49.900 can come up with new metaphors is in part because we have senses. We have sensory experience. So we
00:16:55.780 can take in visual information from the world, colors through our eyes, smells through our nose,
00:17:00.780 textures through our fingers. We can take in that sensory information. We can combine them
00:17:06.340 in our intellect, and we can come up with a fresh metaphor, and that's what poetry is.
00:17:10.660 And an AI can't do that because the language that AI is built upon, it's all dead metaphors.
00:17:16.700 It's all metaphors that have already been used before. And AI doesn't have senses.
00:17:21.180 So AI can't really see, can't really smell, can't really touch. That's what we can do.
00:17:27.020 And so this is kind of the question. It reminds me of the Pope's encyclical,
00:17:30.640 Magnifico Humanitas, which is technology is going to progress. We are going to go somewhere.
00:17:37.820 We're not going to be Luddites and just stop technology.
00:17:40.480 The question is, are we going to build the Tower of Babel, or are we going to build the
00:17:43.900 walls of Jerusalem?
00:17:45.340 Are we going to pursue technology in a way that degrades humanity and has us worshiping 0.99
00:17:50.180 dumb idols like robots?
00:17:51.740 Or are we going to pursue technology in a way that recognizes the dignity of humanity, 0.98
00:17:58.680 that puts God at the center of it and recognizes that God himself becomes incarnate as a man?
00:18:04.940 Which is it? 0.89
00:18:06.340 Are we going to become prostitutes or poets? That's the question. Unfortunately, 0.99
00:18:10.120 many people will choose the former, but you don't have to. You do have to respond to AI.
00:18:14.600 You do have to respond to the fact that a lot of what you do in the economy is no longer necessary.
00:18:20.460 But does that mean that we're going to degrade ourselves merely to the level of flesh?
00:18:24.500 Or are we going to recognize our composite, hylomorphic nature? And I'm not saying you
00:18:29.800 have to be a poet. Most people are terrible poets. But are you going to do something
00:18:32.920 that is uniquely human, that the robot cannot do.
00:18:38.040 Speaking of prostitution, we got to get to Hunter Biden.

00:21:13.000 Hunter Biden is attempting a rebrand. Have you noticed this? He's popping up all over X. He's
00:21:18.000 popping up on podcasts. Hunter Biden, who was the symbol of just left-wing corruption,
00:21:25.240 nepo baby, international criminal oligarch, he is now trying to rebrand as some kind of populist. 0.68
00:21:34.460 Here's an exemplary tweet. He says, WTF timeline are we on? Someone called me the MAGA whisperer. 1.00
00:21:41.700 Did someone call you that? Who called you that? I didn't call you that. Someone called me the
00:21:45.360 MAGA whisperer and I'll gladly take the title. Left, right, Democrat or Republican, we all want
00:21:51.580 the same things. Put a pause. I don't think we do. I don't think we do. I think I want babies to live
00:21:58.340 and you want to kill them. I think I want to preserve marriage as it actually is. I think 0.99
00:22:03.320 you want to redefine it. I think I want to let kids be kids. I think you want to chop their genitals
00:22:07.720 off. I think I want to defend our borders. I think you want to flood the country with foreign 1.00
00:22:11.960 nationals, I don't think we want the same things. This is a popular line, I guess. 1.00
00:22:19.040 We all want the same things, do we? When the left says that, look, we all want the same things.
00:22:24.420 Notice, they're just assuming we're going to just go along with everything they want.
00:22:28.460 We all want the same things. Forget about your views on abortion or marriage or immigration or
00:22:36.320 patriotism or national sovereignty or law and order. Forget about your views on all these
00:22:40.740 substantive matters. We all kind of want the same things. What does that even mean? He explains.
00:22:44.160 He says, we're being divided on purpose by the Epstein elite oligarch class because as long as 0.67
00:22:52.240 we're at each other's throats, they get fat and rich off our misery. The second we figure out,
00:22:56.620 we agree on more than we disagree. They're done. They. Love your neighbor. Be yourself. Radical
00:23:02.280 honesty. Hold on. Love your neighbor, I agree with. Be yourself. I don't agree with that.
00:23:05.820 Hunter Biden should not be himself. Hunter Biden should be good. Hunter Biden was himself
00:23:11.780 for a long time on Skid Row and with all the hookers and taking the money from Ukraine and 0.88
00:23:16.920 taking the money reportedly, allegedly from China and doing all the crack. That was him being himself. 0.87
00:23:22.960 He shouldn't be himself. He should be godly. He should be like Christ. He should endeavor
00:23:27.980 to imitate our Lord. He should not endeavor to just be himself. So I totally disagree with that.
00:23:32.740 radical honesty. What do we mean by radical honesty? You should be truthful. You should
00:23:37.880 live in accord with reality, but you should also have tact. You should also feel some shame for
00:23:46.860 the sins that you commit. No Fs given, no Fs taken. No, I think you should give an F. I think
00:23:52.720 if Hunter Biden gave an F when he was tempted to do the crack and take all the money for his
00:23:59.020 personal enrichment, to pass 10% up to the big guy while the big guy was vice president or
00:24:04.660 president. I think massive corruption in the White House. I think it'd be better if he gave
00:24:08.440 some more Fs. Everything else is just noise, but still F Jake Brick Tamlin Tapper on any time. I
00:24:14.740 guess he doesn't like Jake Tapper. Okay. The line here that is just, it's just too much. I just
00:24:20.440 can't. He's an entertaining character to some degree, Hunter Biden. It's sad because what is
00:24:26.540 entertaining about him is the misery he's made of his life and the crimes that he's committed,
00:24:30.280 including at our expense. But the line that's too much is the Epstein oligarch class. This has
00:24:37.080 become the populist slogan, especially among the left. Even though Epstein started out as a
00:24:44.420 Democrat political scandal, the libs have tried to twist it into a conservative or Trump scandal. 1.00
00:24:49.020 Epstein oligarch class. The phrase has officially jumped the shark.
00:24:53.000 hunter biden was paid by literal oligarchs to sell out american influence and then hunter biden took
00:25:04.840 the money from the actual oligarchs like ukrainian oligarchs he took the money to commit sex crimes
00:25:11.300 which is the most lurid centerpiece of the epstein story hunter biden is the poster child
00:25:19.440 for the Epstein elite oligarch class. Everything he's ever gotten in his life is because his last
00:25:24.560 name is Biden, because he was trading on his father's political influence because his father
00:25:28.520 was in the Senate starting in 1972. Hunter Biden has admitted this, by the way. He said this on
00:25:34.780 camera. He said, yeah, well, look, I can never divorce myself for my name. Yeah, that's probably
00:25:38.120 why I got a lot of what I got in life. And then dealt with actual oligarchs to take money to 0.98
00:25:43.540 commit sex crimes. If Hunter Biden is not the Epstein elite oligarch class, there is no such
00:25:49.720 thing. And now he's trying to rebrand on this pseudo-populism. It's just so tedious.
00:25:59.540 And this kind of phrase, this is what the left is really testing out right now. And I think
00:26:05.740 some of our international adversaries are trying to push this. I don't want to sound like a lib
00:26:10.640 in 2016. But no, even in 2016, the conservatives never denied that our foreign adversaries wanted
00:26:15.700 to mess up American politics, tried to influence American politics. And the way they do it, by the
00:26:20.160 way, is not just creating scandals, not generally, not just creating problems. It's by exploiting
00:26:25.060 divisions that already exist. So when the Soviet Union was messing around in the civil rights 0.86
00:26:29.760 movement, it's not that they invented racial tension in the 60s and 70s. There was racial 0.76
00:26:33.320 tension in America. They just exploited it. They just exacerbated it. So you're seeing this 0.78
00:26:37.420 combination of the left with our international adversaries trying to make this thing happen,
00:26:42.700 Epstein elite oligarch. And they make as their leader for this campaign against the Epstein
00:26:49.000 elite oligarch class, Hunter Biden, who's the face of the whole thing. Totally, totally ridiculous. 0.97
00:26:54.160 Now, speaking of horseshoe theory, there is a professor, a former professor in New York City, 0.94
00:27:02.180 who wants to bring down the U.S. empire. 0.53
00:27:07.040 Cade in a Palestinian keffiyeh arguing that we need to take down the American empire.
00:27:13.000 And her comments have some resonance on the right. 0.66
00:27:17.640 But what this shows us is that there is a danger.
00:27:21.240 I like being based is awesome.
00:27:22.480 Being right wing is awesome.
00:27:23.480 I was born, you know, I popped out of the womb with parted hair, smoking a cigar.
00:27:26.820 I'm definitely a man of the right.
00:27:28.960 But there is a fear.
00:27:31.640 There's an irony that sometimes if you go too far right, you do end up being the most left wing of
00:27:38.700 the libs. And we'll see how that is in a second. First, though, I want to tell you about Rho.
00:27:42.760 Go to Rho, R-H-O, nutrition.com, promo code Knowles for 20% off. There are two ways to think about
00:27:49.100 health. One approach is to wait until something goes wrong. The other is to ask, what are the
00:27:52.940 people who take performance seriously already doing? Well, I talked to Mr. Davies, who's a
00:27:58.980 little bit of a giga chat, a deck athlete, okay? And one of the great things you can do
00:28:04.420 is turn to Rho's liposomal NAD+. NAD plus is one of the most important molecules in the body
00:28:10.960 involved in cellular energy production and recovery. The challenge is that NAD plus levels
00:28:16.160 naturally decline over time, especially when you're dealing with stress, travel, lack of sleep,
00:28:20.900 or just the wear and tear of everyday life. One thing I love about Rho is how simple they make it.
00:28:25.460 It's a liposomal liquid, one quick teaspoon, no powders, no capsules, no complicated routines.
00:28:30.080 Very, very simple, even when you're disorganized and busy, as some of us are.
00:28:33.620 It is also interesting to see who's using Rho.
00:28:36.280 It's the pro athletes.
00:28:37.280 It's the medical professionals.
00:28:38.420 It's people whose performance genuinely matters, and they trust that formula.
00:28:42.200 If you would like to try Rho's Liposomal Entity Plus, go to rhonutrition.com.

00:28:51.620 So New York City College professor who hates the United States and apropos of modern,
00:28:59.020 like current day political controversies, also really hates the state of Israel.
00:29:04.620 And she's very pro-Iran and she's pro-Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
00:29:09.140 She has called to take down the US empire by any means necessary.
00:29:15.160 Do we have a video or just a picture of her?
00:29:18.620 Just a picture.
00:29:19.480 Okay, you can see the keffi. Her name's Corinna Mullen. And she was once arrested for leading 0.73
00:29:26.140 anti-Israel protests that caused $3 million in damage to the City College of New York.
00:29:32.340 She lauded Iran's phenomenal military for beating up on the US. And then here's the key line. 0.75
00:29:38.160 She says, this is having a huge toll on the capacity of the US empire to impose its will.
00:29:43.500 We need to bring the empire down by any means necessary. What I find interesting about this
00:29:48.540 is not that there's some radical New York left-wing professor who wears the caffia who
00:29:53.040 hates America. Obviously, that's not a man-bites-dog story. What's interesting, though,
00:29:57.380 is that her comments will have some resonance on the American right. And the reason, by the way,
00:30:03.000 is that the American empire has pushed a lot of nonsense. USAID was funding things like
00:30:08.600 transgender ballets in the Philippines. The flag of the American empire is like that pride flag. 0.97
00:30:17.360 We're putting it up on our embassies around the world. Some on the right, myself included,
00:30:21.840 have referred to the global American empire, or gay, because it pushes these decadent liberal
00:30:28.120 values, which are really annoying and which we should not do. However, no conservative,
00:30:36.220 no right-winger really of any kind can seriously demand the end of the American empire.
00:30:44.960 as long as the conservatives and right-wingers are American. That doesn't really make a lot of
00:30:49.680 sense. No true conservative or American right-winger can root for our adversaries to beat us
00:30:57.720 in a war, even if in the war we're the ones pushing liberalism or secularism or what have
00:31:05.500 you, all these problems that are attendant to liberalism. And even if our adversaries seem more
00:31:10.900 based by some measure, whether it's the Iranians or the Russians or the Chinese.
00:31:16.240 The reason for this is not just our patriotism. I hope you're all patriots. But the reason for this
00:31:21.020 is when we side with countries on the basis of ideology, if we are, I've been tempted by this
00:31:31.740 myself. If we were to look at Putin's Russia and say, you know what? They're pretty based.
00:31:35.940 They're building cathedrals and we're building abortion centers. Happily, we're actually closing
00:31:40.420 abortion centers right now, but we have built a lot of abortion centers. When we look at a foreign 1.00
00:31:44.400 adversary and we say, or any foreign country, and we say, you know, ideologically, I have more in
00:31:49.660 common with them than I do with my own governing elites. Therefore, I want them to win. I don't
00:31:55.780 want us to win. When we say that, ironically, we become the most liberal of the liberals.
00:32:04.440 We out-lib the libs.
00:32:06.980 Maybe you learned this in school.
00:32:09.120 Thomas Jefferson, when he was president, he was running against the Federalists.
00:32:13.320 And the Federalists wanted more government power, and the Jeffersonian Republicans wanted less government power.
00:32:19.740 But then Jefferson does something ironic.
00:32:21.760 He out-Federalists the Federalists because he makes the Louisiana Purchase on dubious constitutional authority to double the size of the United States.
00:32:30.220 What an irony.
00:32:32.000 Jefferson, out-federalists the federalists.
00:32:34.360 Well, the really based conservatives who look around at a place like Russia and say they're building cathedrals.
00:32:39.420 They look at a place like China. 0.83
00:32:40.440 They say they're keeping weird gay stuff out of movies. 0.93
00:32:42.240 They look at a place like Iran. 0.96
00:32:43.420 They say they don't really have quarter for feminism there. 1.00
00:32:46.380 Based. 1.00
00:32:46.900 That's awesome.
00:32:48.220 Ironically, when we allow our ideology to have us feel more affinity for our adversaries than we do for our own country, we are outliving the most liberal Americans.
00:32:59.020 because liberalism is based on ideology, based on abstraction, based upon a notion
00:33:06.960 that what really unites us and forms political communities is something in the realm of ideas
00:33:14.420 and in the forms floating above the practicality of a political community. And that's just not true.
00:33:19.500 That ain't how Russia views it. That ain't how China views it. That ain't how Iran views it.
00:33:24.320 We have to be on our own side. There's that famous Robert Frost line. It says,
00:33:27.640 a liberal is one who cannot take his own side in a quarrel. And the irony is, again, I'm not
00:33:34.980 exempting myself from it. I felt this temptation myself. The irony is, when we say America's
00:33:41.520 liberal and Russia, China, Iran, whoever else, they're a conservative society by their own
00:33:47.800 standards. Therefore, I'm kind of on their side. We are not taking our own side in a quarrel.
00:33:54.320 We are abstracting politics above the political community into the realm of ideas.
00:33:58.340 We're being like huge libs.
00:34:00.560 We're outgaying the global American empire.
00:34:03.980 It's a real challenge because we cannot, we have to be aware that we ourselves are in
00:34:11.200 many ways the products of this liberal society.
00:34:13.660 And sometimes our own priors can lead us to very, very strange places.
00:34:18.880 If you find yourself agreeing with the radical left-wing New York City professor wearing
00:34:22.680 the keffiyeh, you've taken a wrong turn. Speaking of the libs, a lady on BBC, Sarah Wakefield,
00:34:28.420 the head of the Green Party in the UK, has just perfectly epitomized liberal millennials. 0.95
00:34:34.060 You'll get to the way that their minds work, the way that their politics functions.
00:34:38.080 Fathers are difficult to shop for, mostly because they've spent their entire lives pretending to
00:34:41.740 want nothing. Do not be fooled. What your father actually wants is to be right about the news and
00:34:46.820 have someone to argue with about it. DailyWire Plus handles both. Right now, annual memberships
00:34:50.980 are 45% off with code DAD45. The Michael Knowles Show, plus all those other podcasts, no one cares
00:34:55.940 about, the documentaries, the movies, all of it, dailywireplus.com, code DAD45. He will never admit
00:35:02.540 he loves it. My favorite comment yesterday is from Todd Stern, 67, who said, I just found out my
00:35:09.280 uncle, a lifelong Republican, just voted Democrat in the California election. This would never have
00:35:14.820 happened if he were still alive. So true, so true. Probably many such cases. On BBC,
00:35:21.380 while I was in the UK, while I was actually booked to be on BBC, Sarah Wakefield, the UK's
00:35:25.700 Green Party candidate, just had a debate with the right-wing reform party's Rob Kenyon. And she has
00:35:33.260 gone viral for her inability to understand what the conservative is saying. The idea of blaming
00:35:40.680 our housing crisis on immigration is absolutely wild to me, actually.
00:35:46.740 That says more about you, because you've got an extra 10, 20 million people come in the 0.96
00:35:50.400 country all the last...
00:35:51.140 Do you think that if we...
00:35:54.540 So do you not think an extra 10 million people is going to have an effect on housing in the
00:35:57.640 UK?
00:35:57.680 Do you think that if we lock down our borders, we're going to solve the housing crisis?
00:36:01.180 Is that going to solve it?
00:36:01.940 The thing is, the more people you have in the country, the more houses you're going to
00:36:04.740 need.
00:36:05.020 I know it might sound...
00:36:05.860 He's really good at explaining things later, isn't he?
00:36:08.540 He is really good at explaining things.
00:36:10.200 I love this setup, not even for the substance of what's being said, which is simple enough.
00:36:15.480 We have a housing crisis in this country. We have a housing crisis. We got price of housing
00:36:19.660 is going really high up. And then the conservative says, well, yeah, because you flooded the country
00:36:24.500 with foreigners. And then that breaks her brain. And she doesn't really say much of anything. 0.94
00:36:32.100 She just does that look, that look of the liberal millennial women that, 0.64
00:36:36.860 Uh-huh. Like this kind of goofy, mocking, condescending. And he's very calm. He says, 1.00
00:36:45.920 well, no, here's how supply and demand work. When you have a limited number of goods,
00:36:52.360 like houses, and you're not scaling houses, one new house for every new migrant that comes into 1.00
00:36:57.680 your country. When you have this limited number of goods, and then you flood the country with 1.00
00:37:02.980 demand for that good, the cost of the good increases. Pretty simple. You don't need a PhD
00:37:09.880 in economics for that one. And she doesn't have a response to this. So she tries to deflect. 0.98
00:37:14.420 So you're saying that if we just stopped mass migration, all of our problems would go away.
00:37:20.100 He says, I'm not saying that. I've never said that. I just said that when you flood the country
00:37:24.340 with migrants, the cost of housing goes up. And she just does this face.
00:37:32.980 this epitomizes millennial liberalism. This woman's only political power is not understanding 1.00
00:37:44.140 things. That is indeed the only political power of the millennial liberals broadly. 1.00
00:37:52.380 The women epitomize it more, or exemplify it more, but the men to some degree too. 0.98
00:37:57.640 It's like that meme that goes around social media.
00:38:01.020 So much of discourse is liberals pretending not to understand things,
00:38:06.580 thus making true discourse impossible.
00:38:09.480 That's what this is. 0.95
00:38:11.880 She's so desperate to defend mass migration, 0.99
00:38:14.800 which she likes for whatever reason, 0.99
00:38:16.760 because she thinks it'll give her an electoral majority, 1.00
00:38:19.140 because she's a masochist, because she hates her own country, 1.00
00:38:21.520 for whatever reason. 1.00
00:38:23.720 Because she thinks that she has more of a responsibility
00:38:25.400 to people she's never met on the other side of the world than she does to her own people.
00:38:31.240 Whether it's for the C.S. Lewis point in Screwtape, when the demon is writing in Screwtape
00:38:36.400 and says, hey, you're patient that you're working on to try to send him to perdition.
00:38:41.080 He's going to have some feelings of love, but it's okay. Just make sure that he directs his
00:38:45.920 feelings of love away from the people immediately around him, away from his family and his friends
00:38:50.480 and his neighbors. Make sure he just directs that love to an abstract sort of person on the other
00:38:56.540 side of the world that he's never met. That way, he can be awful and terrible to all the people
00:39:01.940 that are around him. So his hatred and contempt will be wholly real, but his love will remain
00:39:07.200 abstract and for the most part fictional and illusory. That's liberal millennials. So for
00:39:14.680 whatever reason, she can't, she really wants the mass migration. And so she can't grant the basic
00:39:20.260 economic premise. And the best they have is, oh, you think that we shouldn't chop off the genitals 1.00
00:39:27.640 of children? That's it. That's what the libs did to us for years here. You think that Somali 1.00
00:39:33.140 fraudsters are committing fraud in Minnesota and Ohio? You really, yeah, I really think that, 1.00
00:39:38.600 because that's what all the evidence shows. You think that boys can't become girls?
00:39:45.940 Yeah, I think that. I think that might be coming to an end and there will be some kind of new
00:39:54.640 leftism that replaces it. Whatever Gen Z leftism is, probably it will be more militant and more 0.91
00:40:00.080 full of conviction. But the millennials, I think in many ways, what defines the millennials as a
00:40:04.260 political community on the left and even maybe on the right is a lack of conviction. We were raised
00:40:10.700 in this fetid stew of subjectivism and relativism. We were told that we can't ever really know
00:40:16.340 anything for certain. We were told that we have to be really nice and we just all need to be
00:40:23.200 smiley, smiley and not offend anyone. We were raised as a generation shaped by political
00:40:27.920 correctness that then flowered into wokeness. And so we can't ever have a direct sort of debate,
00:40:36.020 generationally. Obviously, individuals within the generation can. But we can't do that. So it's all
00:40:39.900 just based on consensus. It's all just based on, it's not that you try to prove that your opponent
00:40:46.180 is wrong. It's that you try to prove that your opponent is weird. And that's what she's doing.
00:40:51.200 And she's making herself look rather weird herself. Speaking of mental deficiencies, 0.98
00:40:55.140 My favorite headline, my actual favorite headline of the last two weeks from SciPost says,
00:41:01.400 mental health might be emerging as a source of political identity. Study finds. This is perfect.
00:41:08.600 This is talk about political correctness. This is perfect euphemism writing. Mental health might
00:41:12.940 be emerging as a source of political identity. What does that mean? Just close your eyes and
00:41:19.160 think about what that means. That is a fancy way of saying that the libs are crazy. That's what 0.99
00:41:24.160 that means. Mental health, let's just open up the article. It's an analysis of the 2022
00:41:31.220 Cooperative Election Study data found that mental health is emerging as a source of political
00:41:35.440 identity, particularly among Gen Z and more liberal Americans. Meaning the people who got
00:41:41.700 there and say, you know, look, I'm on SSRIs. I have anxiety. I have depression. I have even,
00:41:50.820 the one that the right participates in is autism. The right likes to claim autism,
00:41:54.600 even though it's just people who are a little quirky a lot of the time. They say, I'm so
00:41:57.960 autistic. So even we use this clinical language of mental health, but it's mostly the libs,
00:42:04.060 as the study even finds. It's emerging as a political identity. No, you're just saying
00:42:10.240 that you're a little crazy. And what's amazing is that the recognition, the self-awareness that 0.98
00:42:15.420 you're a little bit crazy, it leaves you two options. You can either say, I'm crazy and that's 0.82
00:42:20.840 not good. I should fix my craziness. Or you can double down on it and say, I'm crazy and I demand 0.82
00:42:28.880 my rights. I'm crazy and I'm going to get even crazier and you're going to cater to my craziness. 0.91
00:42:35.640 And that's what the left has argued for five years now, at least. 0.63
00:42:39.420 i'm not going to fix the problem you see it i mean not to beat a dead horse but you the perfect 0.81
00:42:46.260 example of this is the transgender ideology where you say hey i think i'm the opposite sex i can 0.96
00:42:51.160 either correct myself you know i can either i realize that that's a little bit weird and so 0.81
00:42:56.520 i can either try to persuade myself of reality or i'm gonna double down and i'm gonna and you're
00:43:02.560 all going to cater to me. It's beautiful. I want to frame it. Tell this to your normie voter. Tell
00:43:11.100 this to your median voter. See, there is a one-to-one correlation of craziness to voting
00:43:16.740 for the left. Who are you going to vote for in the election? Okay, speaking of mentally ill leftists,
00:43:21.700 this is a story from a couple of days ago, but I want to make sure we get to it. TPSA had the 0.77
00:43:26.040 Young Women Leadership Summit, which they've had for many, many years now. It's a very successful
00:43:30.260 event. It continues to be very, very successful. And there were protesters outside. Here are the
00:43:34.580 protesters. We've got a Palestine flag. We've got a bunch of hippies, dirty looking people.
00:43:52.100 Screaming random nonsense. Looks like any liberal protest that you've seen on these college 1.00
00:43:56.780 campuses for years and years and years. The same sort of people who threatened TPUSA speakers and
00:44:01.700 who ultimately killed Charlie Kirk. Okay. Furthermore, there weren't just the dirty
00:44:06.960 hippies waving their little signs. Antifa showed up. So actual left-wing militants who train as 0.99
00:44:12.520 terrorists. So you can see them. Cops have to take some of these guys down to the ground.
00:44:20.100 The Antifa are getting very, very violent. We know we've seen Antifa at a lot of our events.
00:44:25.860 Obviously, at my event at Pittsburgh a few years ago, they burned me an effigy and threw an
00:44:29.460 explosive at the building. Seriously injured a cop. And then the most distasteful of all,
00:44:34.720 you have a guy dressed up as Charlie Kirk with a mask on because he's a coward,
00:44:39.560 dressed up as Charlie Kirk outside of an event that is being hosted by Charlie's widow, Erica, 0.97
00:44:46.120 mocking Charlie's assassination by a trans furry leftist. He's dancing around in the Charlie Kirk 0.70
00:44:52.960 mask. And then he ends up lying on the floor as if he's been shot. So amid all of this just
00:44:59.280 absolutely revolting display, you have this magnificent speech by Erica.
00:45:04.580 There will be a day 10 to 15 years from now when my children will look back on this season of life
00:45:13.280 that us three are going through. And they won't remember it fully because they're so young.
00:45:22.960 But they will see everything.
00:45:25.920 They will see how this world talked about their father, their mother, even themselves.
00:45:33.740 They will be able to read every headline, every accusation, every lie.
00:45:41.540 My prayer is their focus isn't on all that noise, but rather on how their mother showed up and how she handled it.
00:45:52.960 Here, here, here, absolutely beautiful, spot on. Also why, from the beginning of all of this,
00:45:59.680 from the moment Charlie was killed, I made a point, which is that I consider Erica to be a
00:46:05.540 national hero in all of this. And some people, even people who really like Erica, they've said,
00:46:10.140 oh, Michael, you're overstating it. She's gone through an immense grief. She's suffered something
00:46:13.880 very, very difficult. But why would you say she's a national hero? She's not a national hero because
00:46:18.740 her husband was killed. She's a national hero because of how she's responded to that,
00:46:23.720 as well as the awful attacks, some of which have come from the right, obviously. Maybe the loudest
00:46:29.380 ones have come from the right, but the most consistent ones have come from the left.
00:46:32.640 And the way that she's responded to it has showed an immense, almost unfathomable amount of grace.
00:46:39.000 And she has tuned out a lot of the noise. Very important, very important lesson to follow.
00:46:44.420 and she is focused on what is good and what matters.
00:46:47.500 She's kept the religion at the center of her life
00:46:49.260 and she's proceeded with a great deal of magnanimity
00:46:52.840 and grace from Charlie's funeral,
00:46:55.740 which many of us were at,
00:46:57.000 all the way on through the present.
00:47:01.900 On this matter of the attacks,
00:47:03.740 which have come from all sorts of places,
00:47:05.660 it's important to look at what's going on
00:47:07.760 outside of that venue
00:47:09.140 for the Young Women's Leadership Summit
00:47:10.500 because what this reminds us of 1.00
00:47:12.960 is something that I suspected from the very beginning, and I think I was proven right.
00:47:17.620 In the real world, look at what side the attacks are coming from. In the real world,
00:47:23.440 in the physical world, in the world beyond social media. Yes, there are attacks that have come from
00:47:30.100 the right. We've talked about them, and we try not to focus on them too much.
00:47:35.960 There are attacks coming from the right and from maybe foreign bots pretending to be from the right,
00:47:40.760 which is absolutely rife on social media.
00:47:43.700 Those are all terrible.
00:47:44.900 They should all stop, of course.
00:47:46.300 No one's really seemed to be able to stop them.
00:47:48.280 But nevertheless, yeah, yeah, that's all awful
00:47:50.560 in the social media space.
00:47:53.140 But don't get psyoped here.
00:47:55.060 Don't get distracted.
00:47:56.060 Don't think there's any confusion or any equivalence
00:47:58.360 between the left and the right.
00:47:59.880 In the real world, the people who are showing up,
00:48:04.180 who are getting violent, who are disturbing the events,
00:48:07.260 who are mocking Charlie and who are mocking his death in front of his widow, those people are
00:48:13.320 uniformly from the left. That's where the political threat really lies. And so how do we respond to
00:48:18.360 this? Well, I'd be happy to regulate much of social media and try to get some of the foreign 1.00
00:48:22.940 interference out. And I'm all for speech standards and all the rest. Obviously, I wrote a whole book 0.99
00:48:26.180 about that. But in the real world, what do we do? We should exclude the extremely violent left from
00:48:33.340 the public square, the ones on the left who have really embraced political violence and threats
00:48:37.720 and all that. We should arrest and seriously imprison Antifa, people who are actually
00:48:43.840 threatening us in the real world. We need to focus on what is good. We need to persuade people of
00:48:50.480 the absolute perfidy of our political enemies. We need to continue to win. We need to continue to
00:48:54.780 show up. We need to continue to hold power and we need to advance our agenda. That's what we need
00:48:58.740 to do. That takes a great deal of courage, takes a great deal of magnanimity. No one has exemplified
00:49:04.740 that better than Erica. And despite the best efforts of the violent, disgusting left, 0.97
00:49:10.380 the Young Women's Leadership Summit went off without a hitch. Okay, speaking of violence, 0.95
00:49:14.860 there are new details in the Carmelo Anthony case. You know, Carmelo Anthony was this young
00:49:21.100 black guy who just murdered in cold blood, murdered this guy, Austin Metcalf. Allegedly,
00:49:26.200 I have to say allegedly because he hasn't been convicted yet.
00:49:28.160 Austin Metcalf at a track meet, high school track meet.
00:49:30.180 A lot of new details emerging.
00:49:31.400 We don't have time to get to them all today,
00:49:32.840 but the story is somehow even worse than we all originally thought.
00:49:36.480 On that chipper note, today's TEE Tuesday.
