The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 2001 - Woke Supergirl May Top Snow White Disaster

00:00:00.000 One of the strangest things about the modern economy is that everyone claims to love small

00:00:03.780 businesses, but the systems that we've built make it harder and harder for small businesses to

00:00:08.220 actually survive. Over 70 percent of small businesses need additional capital at least

00:00:12.360 once a year. Meanwhile, banks are tightening, underwriting, and approving fewer loans than

00:00:16.880 ever, even while small business revenue is at record highs. So what happens? Business owners

00:00:22.000 get trapped in limbo. But if you want bank rates without the bank delays, you need to check out

00:00:59.560 Prominent Democrats are beside themselves with sorrow as a Texas Antifa cell is sentenced to

00:01:06.220 prison for trying to murder a cop. A federal judge rules that the government can't use a

00:01:11.120 database to check citizenship in elections because it might purge voters. Wait a second,

00:01:16.340 what? Hold on, wait, what? You can't? Also, the actress playing Supergirl is on a quest

00:01:23.180 to dethrone that liberal chick from Snow White in her record of needlessly insulting 0.99

00:02:07.700 guys the democrat party is the chief threat to political stability and flourishing in the u.s

00:02:16.600 i don't mean that is just like a hack partisan this is the most important election in my lifetime

00:02:21.720 Something has actually fundamentally changed in the Democrat Party.

00:02:26.320 You see this in the Antifa sentencing in Texas and the reaction to it. 0.96

00:02:30.780 You see this especially with the wins of major Mamdani-backed candidates in New York last night. 0.78

00:02:37.020 You see this in the way that they speak about the United States. 0.84

00:02:40.060 You see this in the way that Democrat regular rank-and-file voters now prefer socialists to Democrat members of Congress.

00:02:48.480 Something has fundamentally cracked. We're now past the Rubicon of the Democrat Party,

00:02:55.640 and it constitutes a far greater threat to the long-term flourishing of the United States

00:03:00.160 than any foreign adversary, than any discrete threat overseas. We'll get to that in a moment.

00:03:05.120 First, though, some good news. We don't always get good news in politics, but here's some really

00:03:11.920 good news coming out of the judiciary. We almost never get good news out of the judiciary.

00:03:15.360 Jerry. So let's enjoy the win while we can get it. A Texas Antifa cell was just sentenced

00:03:22.560 to a lot of prison time, a cumulative 450 years in prison. But per person, you're looking at up

00:03:29.680 to 100 years in prison for a terrorist attack that they committed on an ICE facility last year.

00:03:36.020 What happened? I'm going to get with my friend Andy Ngo, who is the expert on Antifa. We're

00:03:41.780 going to do a longer interview about this. So I'll just give you the highlights here

00:03:45.140 momentarily. The DOJ announced that eight North Texas Antifa cell operatives were sentenced for

00:03:54.880 their roles in rioting, using weapons and explosives, providing material support to

00:04:00.360 terrorists, obstruction, and the attempted murder of an Alvarado police officer at the Prairieland

00:04:07.740 Detention Center last July 4th. So this was on Independence Day, symbolic in itself.

00:04:14.440 The leader of this was Benjamin Haniel Song. He was convicted of attempted murder of a law

00:04:20.320 enforcement officer. He shot a cop. He was sentenced to 100 years in prison.

00:04:25.440 There were a bunch of other people here too. You have Maricela Rueda, sentenced to 70 years in

00:04:30.300 prison, Cameron Arnold, 50 years in prison, another 50 years to Savannah Batten, Zachary

00:04:35.320 Evitz, Bradford Morris, Elizabeth Soto. Another 30 years for Daniel Rolando Sanchez Estrada.

00:04:42.580 It's a lot of names. There are others, though, in addition to the eight that were sentenced.

00:04:47.260 There are seven others who already pled guilty prior to trial, so they will be sentenced on

00:04:54.640 July 1st. Now, how is this being covered in the press? We have The Guardian here. Here we go.

00:05:01.940 a Guardian article, Texas anti-ice protesters convicted of terrorism charges. Okay, that's

00:05:08.500 simple enough. We have here from the New York Times a little more spin on it. Protesters

00:05:14.820 accused of Antifa ties sentenced to up to 100 years in ice attack. Hold on, hold on, hold on.

00:05:24.020 Protesters, people shooting a cop now is a protest. That's a legitimate form of protest,

00:05:29.620 according to the New York Times. Setting off explosives at a federal facility. That's a

00:05:33.620 protest now, according to the New York Times. Traditionally in America, we distinguish between

00:05:38.440 protests, which are peaceful, and acts of terrorism and other kinds of violence,

00:05:44.840 which are not protests. Do you remember Chris Cuomo? I was just on Chris Cuomo's show a couple

00:05:48.360 days ago. Chris Cuomo infamously joked when he was on CNN. He said, during the George Floyd riots,

00:05:55.580 He said, show me where in the Constitution it says the protests have to be peaceful.

00:06:00.500 You say, the First Amendment?

00:06:02.620 I think that's where it says it.

00:06:04.140 It says the people have a right peaceably to assemble.

00:06:07.960 You don't have a right to violently assemble.

00:06:10.680 You certainly don't have a right to shoot cops.

00:06:12.160 So the New York Times, right off the bat, legitimizing terrorism and attacks on police officers.

00:06:18.680 So they're accused, they're protesters.

00:06:20.680 That's the first one.

00:06:21.240 Then the second error here, they say they're accused of antifa ties.

00:06:23.960 No, no, no, they're not accused of antifa ties. They were convicted of crimes using evidence

00:06:29.500 that prove their antifa ties. What did they do? According to the Guardian, let's go back to the

00:06:36.180 Guardian piece for a second. Although the charge does not require prosecutors to prove a connection

00:06:42.120 to any kind of terrorist ideology. So the prosecutors, they did prove the connection

00:06:46.600 in as much as they showed the evidence and the connections between all of the defendants.

00:06:50.720 But the charge, the things that they were actually convicted on, don't require them to prove the connection.

00:06:55.920 Yeah, it just requires to prove the crime.

00:06:58.220 Only that a defendant provided support for one of a list of several crimes.

00:07:01.460 The Justice Department spun the convictions as proof that Antifa was a terrorist organization.

00:07:05.060 Hold on, hold on.

00:07:06.600 Yeah, when you go to trial and you're convicted of a crime, all you have to do is prove that you committed the crime.

00:07:12.600 There's nothing nefarious about that.

00:07:15.180 There's nothing novel about that.

00:07:16.240 That's just how the justice system works.

00:07:18.740 But here, the Guardian is skeptical.

00:07:20.500 They say, you know, come on, they're trying to spin this as proof that Antifa is a terrorist

00:07:25.340 organization.

00:07:26.200 Antifa has uniforms.

00:07:28.880 Antifa has flags.

00:07:30.660 Antifa members refer to themselves as members of Antifa.

00:07:34.260 I have personally been the target of Antifa, and two of the Antifa members were prosecuted

00:07:39.220 for it, although they didn't receive anywhere near the adjust sentence.

00:07:43.020 They received far, far too lenient sentences.

00:07:46.200 But these are card-carrying members of Antifa.

00:07:47.940 How does the Guardian spin this? They say, the defendants in the case are a collection of

00:07:52.880 activists who were loosely affiliated with one another through a local left-wing book club

00:07:59.780 and gun group. What a euphemism for the ages. No, they're not part of a terrorist organization.

00:08:07.500 They're just part of a local political book club and gun group. So they train in radical political

00:08:17.060 ideas and shooting. But it's not a terrorist organization. They're a group that meets at a

00:08:23.280 place, and they identify themselves as a member of a group, and they discuss radical political ideas

00:08:28.880 and coincidentally shooting people. But it's not like a terrorist organization or anything like

00:08:36.460 that. During the trial, prosecuted highlighted many of the zines. These are left-wing radical

00:08:42.640 political pamphlets that the group read as evidence of the conspiracy and ideology that

00:08:47.240 linked the demonstrators. So the prosecutors, can you believe they did this? The prosecutors

00:08:51.920 pointed to all of the ideological material that the terrorists shared with one another

00:08:56.900 as proof that they shared an ideology. Can you believe that? How crazy, how radical.

00:09:01.980 The evidence was met with widespread criticism from legal observers. They don't name the legal

00:09:05.500 observers. What is a legal observer, by the way? You mean a lawyer? You mean a scholar? You mean

00:09:09.440 a historian? No, no, just a legal observer, whatever that is. Widespread criticism from

00:09:14.220 unnamed people. Sources say, who said that it was, that it amounted to criminalizing freedom

00:09:20.100 of speech? Did they say that? This is an amazing defense of Antifa coming from The Guardian,

00:09:28.720 coming from the left-wing press. Because the way that the federal government is now considering

00:09:35.580 Antifa is precisely the same way they consider all other kinds of domestic terror groups. 0.51

00:09:41.920 This would be like saying, there's a prosecution of the Ku Klux Klan for lynching a black guy.

00:09:47.180 And they say, you know, these prosecutors, they were trying to suggest

00:09:50.500 that these activists and demonstrators and protesters shared an ideology.

00:09:56.500 And just because they all passed around Mein Kampf and other materials,

00:10:02.480 you know, if we're really going to prosecute them this way,

00:10:04.500 it's tantamount to prosecuting freedom of speech. Well, kind of, it's just looking at speech as it

00:10:12.680 pertains to political ideology. And you can't understand political ideology without looking

00:10:16.360 at the kinds of things people are saying and reading and writing. And you're not even only

00:10:21.080 prosecuting them for the ideology, you're prosecuting them for the crimes that they

00:10:24.540 are committing, which are nevertheless connected to the ideology. Look, it's good news. It's good

00:10:31.280 news that these people are being prosecuted. I'm glad it's finally happening. This is the

00:10:37.180 first big prosecution since President Trump issued an executive order declaring Antifa a domestic

00:10:42.220 terrorist organization, which should have been done 10, 15 years ago, but it's at least happening

00:10:47.300 now. We have prosecuted left-wing anarchists for precisely these kinds of crimes, even related to

00:10:54.500 immigration, as this one was, going back over 100 years in the United States. This was happening

00:10:58.620 during the Wilson administration. This was happening in the early 20th century. Then we

00:11:02.220 kind of lost our nerve for a little bit. But Republicans and Democrats alike in American

00:11:07.100 history have prosecuted precisely these kinds of people precisely because of how they destabilize

00:11:11.220 the country. And because there are just crimes in themselves. What's changing here, though,

00:11:17.940 is that now you have mainstream elected prominent members of the Democrat Party

00:11:22.100 who are defending the terrorists, who are defending killing cops. We'll get to Rashida

00:11:26.080 Tlaib in a second. First, though, I want to tell you about Mount Titano Media. Go to

00:11:29.860 mounttitanomedia.com. As we get closer to America's 250th anniversary, there's a simple

00:11:35.460 question on a lot of people's minds. How much of our own history do we actually remember?

00:11:40.080 Not the dates, not the trivia, the words, the speeches, the arguments, the ideas that

00:11:44.400 shaped the country in the first place. Because one of the strange realities of modern education

00:11:48.300 is that Americans are constantly told what to think about their history while spending

00:11:52.440 very little time actually reading the people who made it. This is one of the most important

00:11:55.900 things you can do. It was absolutely crucial in my own education, such as it is, is to read

00:12:01.400 speeches. Read speeches, read great quotations. Winston Churchill said this. He said,

00:12:08.140 the best thing for a guy without an education to do to start getting an education,

00:12:11.620 read a great book of quotes. And this does it. It was very influential in my political education.

00:12:16.760 And there is a great book out right now called Finding Our Words, The Words That Made America.

00:12:22.380 I actually read one of the speeches in the audio book of this, so I encourage you to get the audio book.

00:12:27.440 There's also Andrew Klavan, Spencer Klavan, Bill Whittle, who cares about any of those,

00:12:30.920 with really, really important commentary from Tracy Lee Simmons and editor Allison Ellis.

00:12:35.860 Go check it out right now.

00:12:42.360 How does very prominent Democrat congressman Rashida Tlaib react to the sentencing of terrorists who shot a cop?

00:12:51.820 she says these sentences are a travesty. It's a travesty to sentence a left-wing terrorist who

00:12:59.920 shot a cop and totally unjustified. But that's the point. Americans hate the fascist Trump regime.

00:13:07.300 So the only way they can try to cling to power is brute force. What are you talking about brute 0.73

00:13:12.860 force? This isn't the Trump White House that was doing this. This was the judiciary in our system

00:13:18.840 of checks and balances, separation of powers, exactly as the Constitution lays out. The

00:13:23.780 prosecutors presented evidence, and many of the terrorists pled guilty to the crimes of which

00:13:30.280 they were accused. Then she goes on, she goes, NSPM 7 is a grave threat to all of us, and more

00:13:37.000 BS terrorism charges like these are coming. Now, what is NSPM 7? NSPM 7 is the National Security

00:13:45.040 presidential memorandum titled Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political

00:13:48.820 Violence. The left and the right have agreed for many, many decades that we need to prosecute

00:13:54.580 domestic terrorism. There's nothing novel about that. There's nothing partisan about that.

00:13:58.120 But furthermore, these terrorists were not prosecuted for violating NSPM7. They were

00:14:07.520 prosecuted and convicted and sentenced based on longstanding crimes that they demonstrably

00:14:14.540 committed, like shooting a cop. President Trump did not issue an executive order that criminalized

00:14:22.680 shooting cops. That was already a crime. That's what they were convicted of. It's not just her.

00:14:28.480 The Texas Observer, a totally mainstream media outlet, says this can happen to you,

00:14:34.760 and if they can do it to you, they will. From Stephen Zetti in March, the convictions of the

00:14:40.880 Prairieland activists puts everyone's right to protest at risk. Today, they were sentenced to

00:14:45.700 over 50 years in prison. Now, I want to just tell you what that means. When they say everyone's

00:14:50.520 right to protest, what they mean by protest here is shoot cops. So it's true. The convictions here

00:14:58.680 that the convictions do put everyone's right to shoot cops at risk. That's true. And the left

00:15:05.420 clearly considers shooting cops a legitimate form of protest. More broadly, the left considers

00:15:10.700 political violence a legitimate form of protest. This is why they largely minimized and even

00:15:17.380 celebrated the murder of Charlie Kirk last September. They did that. They did that at all

00:15:23.380 levels of the left, from elected representatives to members of the media to the lady who sits next 0.96

00:15:30.280 you at work. Not just fringe radicals, not just members of the Antifa group, normie libs.

00:15:36.620 Mainstream media outlets, elected members of Congress defending this stuff.

00:15:41.240 These guys were all convicted of normal crimes and particularly heinous crimes,

00:15:47.420 particularly politically relevant crimes, and the mainstream left justifies it.

00:15:51.720 Something has really changed. I guess I should have a caveat here.

00:15:56.560 The Democratic Party has been moving in this direction for many decades.

00:16:01.460 So to say that something has fundamentally changed might be arguing too far.

00:16:05.540 I guess what we would have to say is not that the underlying circumstances have changed,

00:16:09.980 it's that they have just crossed the line now.

00:16:12.900 For a long time, even if they were implicitly supporting this kind of political violence,

00:16:16.800 they would always stop short of admitting it in public.

00:16:19.840 They would at the very least have public disavowals from their most prominent members

00:16:24.440 of political violence, even as they implicitly encouraged it.

00:16:29.980 But now you're getting an explicit embrace from elected members of the party.

00:16:35.680 This is the Democrats now. Look to no less a source than CNN,

00:16:40.080 the CNN pollster Harry Anton goes on, to describe how the Democrats have now shifted.

00:16:44.100 They are no longer merely implicit socialists. They are now openly embracing socialism.

00:16:49.460 socialism in the democratic party is now more popular radicalism tied to anarchism tied to and

00:16:57.740 and now openly socialism are more prominently embraced by the democrat party than elected

00:17:04.120 democrat members of congress well among democrats themselves the democratic socialists of america

00:17:11.260 have a higher net favor than the democratic party does at least those who members of congress i mean

00:17:16.620 just take a look here. Dems, Dem Socialists of America, plus 17 points. Democrats in Congress,

00:17:21.780 plus four points. No wonder that Dem Socialists are getting nominated across the political map 0.74

00:17:26.860 in different primaries, because simply put, they are more popular than the Democrats currently in

00:17:31.180 charge. How do Democrats today view socialism compared to capitalism? Match up socialism,

00:17:38.340 capitalism among Democrats. You go back 16 years ago, 2010, capitalism and socialism right there,

00:17:44.160 favorable rating 51 percent 50 percent look at it now socialism clearly in the lead among

00:17:49.760 democrats 66 percent of them view socialism favorably just 42 percent view capitalism favorably

00:17:55.040 so major major shift at least in the honesty here at least in the candor from the democrats

00:18:01.300 and uh socialism lest anyone be confused is not merely wishing to raise taxes a little it's not

00:18:08.500 merely wishing to expand the welfare state socialism is inextricable from all other forms

00:18:13.800 of leftist radicalism. Socialism is not merely a more collectivist economic policy. It is a radical,

00:18:22.400 revolutionary political ideology that always ends up with violence, with upending the political

00:18:30.680 system. Look at Rashida Tlaib, who is one of the most prominent socialist members of Congress.

00:18:36.780 Rashida Tlaib is not merely calling for raising taxes on rich people. Rashida Tlaib is lamenting

00:18:42.460 the fact that left-wing terrorists are being sentenced for shooting cops. That's what socialism

00:18:48.280 is. It's encouraging violence against America and ordinary Americans. And this is why, when you see

00:18:56.820 this shift in the mainstream Democrat Party, this is a point I have been harping on for many,

00:19:01.580 many months now, and I have been pilloried for doing so. But nevertheless, I am totally right

00:19:07.380 about this, and I will be proven right. I am being proven right day after day. Hate to say I told you

00:19:12.240 so. The chief threat that you face, you, an ordinary person, whether you are a serious,

00:19:20.580 conservative, ideological person, whether you are just a normie, regular person who likes to

00:19:26.200 have a good, normal way of life, the chief threat that you face is not from some podcaster. 1.00

00:19:33.600 Some podcasters have stupid ideologies, annoying ideologies. Some of them sound like total schizos. 1.00

00:19:38.400 I'm not denying any of that. I'm just pointing out the chief threat that you face is not from

00:19:44.840 some guy who has a microphone on the internet. The chief threat that you face is not from even

00:19:49.260 some more normal faction of the American right that has been debating some other faction of

00:19:55.960 the American right for many decades. I'm not even saying there aren't threats there. I'm just saying

00:20:00.040 the chief threat that you face is from the elected Democrats and the large constituency that elects

00:20:07.380 those Democrats who are openly calling for violence against you and for killing cops and for letting

00:20:12.700 terrorists off the hook and for bombing ICE facilities. That's the threat. That's the chief 0.56

00:20:17.520 threat that you actually face. And we can bury our heads in the sand and we can navel gaze and we can

00:20:22.640 focus on relatively lower order political issues. But these guys are winning elections. These guys

00:20:29.660 are gaining power. Look what happened in New York last night. The Mamdani-backed candidates won.

00:20:35.080 They beat these supposedly more moderate normal Democrats. 0.62

00:20:38.960 By the way, the more moderate normal Democrats were already embracing a lot of this stuff anyway. 0.94

00:20:43.460 And they got blown out of the water by the Mamdani-backed candidates like this person, 0.87

00:20:47.980 Eber Kawas, who just won a state senate primary and who says America is responsible for deserving 9-11. 0.68

00:20:55.760 um and so like and finding that like you know the system of capitalism and racism um and white

00:21:04.400 supremacy etc have all and islamophobia have all been used um you know to uh colonize lands right

00:21:12.580 to take resources from other people and so this is like a long trajectory and we're just seeing

00:21:17.080 the manifestations of that continuation right with 9-11 um and so a lot of times when people

00:21:23.400 are asking us to respond about you know attack right when if you look back like historically

00:21:29.460 right um you know a lot of us come from lands that were colonized lands where wars are being

00:21:34.100 waged right a lot of times because of u.s policy or the policies in europe and so um i find that

00:21:40.540 we can connect over that but then also that um the idea that we have to apologize for like a

00:21:46.340 terror attack that like a couple people did and then there is no apologies or reparations for

00:21:51.300 genocide and for slavery, et cetera, is something that I kind of find like reprehensible.

00:21:56.900 And notice this argument here. Notice when she says, you know, the US is responsible for 9-11.

00:22:03.480 This is not the usual kind of conspiracy theorizing that you've heard from various

00:22:09.440 fringe movements for 25 years now. She is not saying that Muslim terrorists were not responsible 1.00

00:22:15.780 for 9-11, that they didn't commit 9-11. She's not saying, you know, it was an inside job by 0.86

00:22:20.620 George W. Bush. It was a false flag. That's not what she's arguing. She's saying, yeah,

00:22:26.260 Muslim terrorists perpetrated 9-11 and killed 3,000 innocent New Yorker civilians. 1.00

00:22:34.540 And the New Yorkers deserved it. Yeah, no, the Muslim terrorists did it for sure. And they 1.00

00:22:40.760 slaughtered 3,000 innocent New Yorkers. But actually, it was the New Yorker's fault.

00:22:44.960 this is a woman who just won a political primary in New York with the endorsement of the mayor of

00:22:50.920 New York, who ordinary Democrat voters just voted for. It would be a lot better, actually,

00:23:00.920 if this woman were coming out and saying, actually, the Muslims didn't do 9-11. It was 0.84

00:23:04.120 George Bush or whatever. It was a false flag. She's not saying that. It's much worse than that.

00:23:09.800 she's saying new yorkers deserve 9-11 i'm i am justifying the muslim terrorists who i believe

00:23:18.720 did it thank you mayor of new york 25 years after 9-11 for giving me your endorsement 0.84

00:23:24.720 there is a principle at work in medicare that should bother you the people advising you on

00:23:28.660 your plan are often incentivized to recommend what pays you the most not what fits you the best

00:23:32.620 most people make this decision once and never revisit it even though plans change every single

00:23:36.540 year. Millions are locked into coverage that no longer makes sense for them. They don't even know

00:23:40.540 it. Chapter is structured differently. They're independent, the only Medicare advisors that

00:23:44.920 compare every plan nationwide. Not a selection, every plan. They look at your doctors, your

00:23:49.100 prescriptions, your priorities, and they tell you the truth. If you're on the right plan, they will

00:23:52.380 say so. If you're not, they'll help you switch. No pressure, no sales pitch. People who have found

00:24:40.780 Not just her. Another one, Daria Lisa Chevalier, another Democrat who got Mamdani's endorsement.

00:24:48.640 Here's a picture of her wearing a defund police face mask. COVID never ends. Then separately,

00:24:55.600 in some other picture, wearing a hijab. She's not wearing a hijab with the face mask. She's

00:24:59.060 wearing the hijab. I guess it's the face mask substitutes in for the hijab. It's the secular 0.99

00:25:04.520 keffiyeh. I don't know. In any case, she posts, I forgot to get napkins, so I just wiped my hand

00:25:10.040 on the American flag behind me, smiley face. Someone who's saying, I hate the symbol of

00:25:14.720 America. I disrespected the symbol of America because I don't respect America because I hate

00:25:18.360 America. She just won an election. These people should not be allowed to vote. I don't mean that

00:25:25.940 with any hyperbole or intentional provocation, it's just a fact. If you hate the country,

00:25:33.520 if you think the country deserves destruction, no coherent political philosophy would suggest

00:25:39.380 that you should be able to vote in that country, to participate in the civic life of that country,

00:25:45.100 much less be an elected official. We're not some weird parliamentary system like you have

00:25:52.220 in continental Europe where crazy fringe radical parties get one or two seats.

00:25:56.660 These are Democrats. And these particular kinds of Democrats are now more popular among the normal

00:26:03.500 mainstream Democrat party than the old school suit and tie Democrats. The mask, hijab, 0.96

00:26:12.800 burn down America Dems are more popular among the base than the suit and tie Democrats who were 0.66

00:26:20.040 already bad enough. That is the state of the American electorate right now. That is the state

00:26:26.420 of the Democrat Party. And meanwhile, we all navel gaze and we talk about things that are

00:26:31.940 largely trivial, that are largely, at the very least, I should say, secondary as political

00:26:37.720 threats. And we do so at our own peril. Okay. Now, speaking of voting, a federal judge has

00:26:44.680 just ruled that the Trump administration cannot use a database to check citizenship because

00:26:52.080 they might end up purging voters. Come again? Hold on. Wait, what? Come again. We'll get to

00:26:58.340 that in a moment. First, I want to tell you about Roe. Go to ronutrition.com. Use code Knowles.

00:27:02.880 That's R-H-O-nutrition.com, code Knowles. Modern health culture has become oddly complicated. Every

00:27:07.500 week there's a new protocol, a new supplement stack, a new morning routine that apparently

00:27:10.980 requires waking up at 4 a.m., plunging yourself into freezing water, and tracking 17 different

00:27:15.540 biomarkers before breakfast. Couldn't be me. Couldn't be me. Mr. Davies does that stuff.

00:27:21.380 Ain't going to be me. Most people don't need more complexity. They need a few simple things

00:27:26.100 they can actually do consistently. One of the many reasons that people are turning to

00:27:33.300 rose liposomal NAD+. NAD plus is one of the most important molecules in the body and plays a role

00:27:38.840 in cellular energy production and recovery.

00:27:41.420 The challenge is that NAD Plus levels

00:27:43.140 naturally decline over time,

00:27:44.520 especially when you're dealing with stress,

00:27:45.820 travel, disrupted sleep,

00:27:47.080 basically my entire life,

00:27:48.800 trying to sleep on airplanes.

00:27:50.820 What I like about Roe,

00:27:52.600 especially you think about,

00:27:53.500 you're going to be traveling

00:27:54.320 with your family this summer.

00:27:55.740 You're going to be juggling the kids.

00:27:57.060 You know, it's going to be rough.

00:27:58.780 It's going to be fun,

00:27:59.720 but it's going to be rough.

00:28:00.680 So let Roe make it simple for you.

00:28:02.700 It's a liposomal liquid,

00:28:03.720 one quick teaspoon and you're done.

00:28:05.100 If you'd like to try Roe's liposomal NAD Plus,

00:28:07.080 Go to rhonutrition.com. Use promo code Knowles for 20% off. rhonutrition.com. Promo code Knowles

00:28:13.360 for 20% off. I'm not even going to read. I'm not going to read the Daily Wire headline. I'm not

00:28:18.340 going to read the Fox News headline. I'm not. This is the Associated Press headline. This is the

00:28:24.200 regular news wire that is the most left wing of all of them. So this should be the most favorable

00:28:30.580 to the federal judge. Toughest on the Trump administration says, breaking, a federal judge

00:28:36.160 has blocked the use of a federal database to check citizenship, saying it could wrongly purge voters.

00:28:46.880 I don't think that headline is proving what they want it to prove. I don't think that headline is

00:28:52.820 proving what the judge wants it to prove. There was this case adjudicated by Judge, I kid you not,

00:28:59.000 Sparkle Suknanan. That's the judge's name. We now live in a country with Judge Sparkle.

00:29:05.520 We have judges named Sparkle. Sparkle Suknanan. I don't know where Suknanan comes from. Don't

00:29:12.460 think it came from the Mayflower. Frankly, so many of the wasps became radical libs and enablers of

00:29:19.280 radical leftists. I don't know that it would improve it. But in any case, whatever the

00:29:23.880 etymology of Suknanan and the ethnic origin, I don't think it bears any relation to Sparkle.

00:29:30.200 But we have Judge Sparkle now. Someone named Sparkle passed the bar and became a judge.

00:29:36.940 And Judge Sparkle Suknanan says that the government is not allowed to check citizenship

00:29:42.240 in databases because they might purge voters. Maybe I'm a little dumb. Maybe I'm a little 0.98

00:29:48.380 uneducated. I didn't go to law school. I certainly didn't go to the law school that Judge Sparkle

00:29:51.820 went to. Seems to me that if a citizenship database purges voters, that would be a good 0.99

00:30:01.180 thing. That would actually be one of the main purposes of a citizenship database. 0.86

00:30:06.240 And one of the main purposes of voter rolls, for that matter, is to make sure that only people who 0.59

00:30:10.240 are eligible to vote, that is, by and large, should be 100% of the time citizens, only those

00:30:18.560 people get to vote. That's the situation we're in. And all of these issues relate to one another.

00:30:27.100 Without mass migration, you would not have Mayor Mamdani. Mayor Mamdani only won. He only won that

00:30:34.020 Democrat primary because of mass migration. And you would not have mass migration without

00:30:40.200 an abuse of the law by the judiciary. You would not have Democrats rigging and stealing elections

00:30:46.840 in some cases to this degree without the mass migration muddying the waters and without the

00:30:54.340 judges coming in and stopping the government from enforcing the law. They all work together.

00:31:01.120 If you didn't have all of those things, you would not have the radicalization of the Democrat party

00:31:05.640 and you would not have elected Democrats justifying shooting cops. Now, how are we

00:31:11.680 getting all of these new citizens and voters who are not citizens? Well, according to CBS News,

00:31:19.740 just reporting now, President Trump has a plan to increase the US citizenship application fee

00:31:26.280 by $570. So there's a fee. If you want to apply to become a citizen, you have to pay a fee.

00:31:32.000 The liberal media is freaking out because Trump is going to increase the fee to apply to become

00:31:36.880 a citizen. But there's one little caveat. See if you pick it up.

00:31:40.720 Applying for American citizenship could soon get much more expensive.

00:31:44.460 The Trump administration has released a new plan that would dramatically increase application fees

00:31:49.560 in the U.S. citizenship process. For example, the fee for paper-based applications would increase

00:31:54.900 from $760 to $1,330. The fee for online applications would jump from $710 to $1,280.

00:32:04.640 That is a difference of $570.

00:32:07.860 Thank you for doing that.

00:32:08.640 And importantly, the plan would also eliminate fee waivers and fee reductions for low-income immigrants who are, again, requesting U.S. citizenship.

00:32:17.040 Now, it's important to underscore that the changes will not take effect immediately and the public will be able to weigh in during a public comment period for and against the rule in the next 60 days.

00:32:27.660 The Trump administration argues that the fee hikes are necessary to fully recover the cost

00:32:32.440 of adjudicating and processing applications. But critics say the administration is erecting

00:32:37.700 yet another barrier for legal immigrants who are trying to secure American citizenship.

00:32:42.780 Okay, so he says, this is crazy. You want to apply for US citizenship,

00:32:45.720 you have to pay $1,300? It's crazy. Hold on. No one has a right to just gain US citizenship,

00:32:52.900 to acquire U.S. citizenship, first of all. U.S. citizenship confers on it untold

00:32:58.920 financial benefits, to say nothing of legal privileges. And for that, the government asks,

00:33:07.180 it used to be $700, $800, now it's about $1,300 to apply for that.

00:33:12.600 That would be the greatest investment anyone could possibly make. Forget about buying Bitcoin in 2006.

00:33:17.700 forget about buying Tesla in 2010. $1,300 to acquire U.S. citizenship.

00:33:24.400 If you're a citizen of Uzbekki, Becky, Becky, Stan, Stan, Stan, if you're a citizen of some 1.00

00:33:29.720 African or East Asian backwater, that is the greatest investment anyone could possibly make. 1.00

00:33:35.100 The ROI is higher than anything Warren Buffett's ever gotten. And they're saying, well, it's too 1.00

00:33:39.140 high. $1,300 is too high. But then that's not even the craziest part. The craziest part is

00:33:43.960 what he says there at the end. He goes, and this policy would eliminate fee waivers for

00:33:49.840 lower income people who want to apply to become citizens. In other words, we currently have

00:33:58.880 a welfare program for foreigners to become citizens. I haven't had a cigar this morning. 0.96

00:34:12.300 I can't let, I'm doing a lot right now.

00:34:16.120 I've got a little bit of stress.

00:34:17.280 I don't want my blood pressure to get up too high. 1.00

00:34:20.760 We have a welfare program for foreigners to become citizens to get more welfare. 0.99

00:34:31.780 The purpose of immigration, the chief purpose of an immigration program in a state, 0.97

00:34:36.440 the chief purpose is to bring in people who will contribute to the country.

00:34:41.340 is when a group of citizens,

00:34:43.780 when the citizens in the body politic

00:34:45.300 say, we would like to bring these people in

00:34:48.320 because they will be good for our country.

00:34:50.220 They will help us.

00:34:52.620 There are other minor secondary matters

00:34:54.800 like political asylum

00:34:55.860 or temporary refugee status or whatever.

00:34:57.680 We're talking about citizenship here.

00:35:00.420 You say, we want you to help us.

00:35:05.400 We have now flipped that on its head

00:35:08.180 where we say, we're going to take in people

00:35:09.820 and not just even take them in

00:35:10.900 to give them residency. We're going to give them citizenship. People who we know will immediately

00:35:17.840 be a net cost to our country. We will have to, forget about criminality, we're going to have

00:35:23.280 to pay them. We're going to bring them in here so that we have the privilege of giving them more of

00:35:28.320 our money so that they can mooch off of us. But no, that's not even enough. We're going to give 0.99

00:35:33.840 them welfare just to get them here. And almost more shocking than that, the mainstream liberal

00:35:44.040 media are whining about it, that we might reduce the welfare for the foreigners to come here to 0.91

00:35:51.440 get more welfare. Boy, oh boy. Boy, oh boy. Seems to me we have, whenever you think America's 1.00

00:36:01.820 political problems we've reached like peak political dysfunction for a first world global

00:36:08.780 hegemon you don't you have take a seat take a seat and keep reading okay speaking of poor

00:36:14.540 financial decisions i need a little palate cleanser to some of these political issues

00:36:17.860 let's turn to culture there's a new supergirl movie coming out i don't even really know

00:36:23.400 what supergirl is you know i'm not the biggest cartoon comic book guy in the world but these

00:36:35.180 supergirl is is doing her level best to make this movie the biggest box office bomb since that chick 0.67

00:37:45.160 My favorite comment yesterday is from Dovey,

00:37:47.960 who says,

00:37:48.480 whoa, didn't realize how much I missed the old intro music.

00:37:52.620 Yeah, that was fun.

00:37:53.080 I actually, I couldn't see it at the open of the show yesterday.

00:37:56.440 So it kind of, and then at the end, it caught me by surprise.

00:37:58.980 Yeah, this show's been on a long time, man.

00:38:00.820 Isn't that crazy?

00:38:02.760 Isn't that crazy?

00:38:03.580 Much to Ben's consternation.

00:38:05.060 No, Ben came on the show yesterday.

00:38:06.080 We had a good time.

00:38:07.980 This show's been on for like eight or nine years now, 2,000 episodes.

00:38:12.320 And that old music, it goes hard, man.

00:38:16.500 Dun, dun, dun, ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da.

00:38:19.060 I agree.

00:38:19.500 Should we bring it back?

00:38:20.980 Is everything old new again?

00:38:22.920 Is it vintage now?

00:38:23.900 I don't know.

00:38:24.160 Maybe we'll bring it back.

00:38:24.860 Let me know in the comments

00:38:25.500 if we should bring it back.

00:38:26.580 Speaking of popular media,

00:38:28.560 Supergirl is coming out.

00:38:31.300 This is supposed to be

00:38:32.360 the big movie release of the year.

00:38:34.240 Maybe other than Toy Story,

00:38:35.260 this is supposed to be

00:38:35.660 the big, big movie release.

00:38:37.780 Here is the star of Supergirl

00:38:40.420 explaining what the movie is about.

00:38:44.480 Discussion online about

00:38:45.740 Tara's queerness in the comics.

00:38:47.640 Was that something that you explored

00:38:49.720 when you were preparing for the role?

00:38:51.600 It wasn't, but in honor of Pride Month, as I'm getting all these questions,

00:38:56.000 I don't know.

00:38:57.380 I think that what makes this film so beautiful is that it's not centered around a man.

00:39:00.780 It's not centered around love at all, if anything.

00:39:04.140 But we'll see.

00:39:05.940 I don't really know, but I don't know.

00:39:10.020 I don't know.

00:39:11.020 It's great.

00:39:11.560 She'd probably go both ways. 0.60

00:39:14.960 Now, this is almost a perfect repeat of what that girl Rachel Ziegler did

00:39:19.660 when she was, she was starring in the live action Snow White, and they insisted upon

00:39:24.400 racially diverse casting. So that's why we called it Sand Beige instead of Snow White.

00:39:29.060 But that was the least of the leftism, frankly, because she went out and went viral for saying,

00:39:35.160 you know, this Snow White movie, this isn't about love. This isn't about Prince Charming.

00:39:38.540 This is about a strong, independent woman being a girl boss. That's what audiences want to see 1.00

00:39:43.040 in Snow White. But this is almost a perfect repeat of that from this lady, Millie Alcock.

00:39:50.560 But she has a little Freudian slip here where she says, look, in honor of Pride Month,

00:39:57.180 because this is Pride Month, I just want to point out this movie has nothing to do with love.

00:40:00.480 And I love this because I was on Piers Morgan's show when I was in the UK a few weeks ago,

00:40:04.680 and I was debating pride with a more LGBT activist type. And he said, Michael,

00:40:10.800 you you're wrong when you say pride month is about promoting weird sex stuff it's not about

00:40:15.880 promoting weird sex stuff it's about promoting love it's about love that's why we have the weird

00:40:21.020 leather parades in the streets with the paddles and the freaky stuff and it's about love but then

00:40:26.080 this gal just admitted it's not she goes in honor of pride month this has nothing to do with love

00:40:30.980 this is just about sexual ideology there are no men this is a superhero movie why would you have

00:40:36.860 men in a superhero movie. This is about brute strength and battles. And why would you have men

00:40:43.200 in that? That has nothing to do with men. And why would you have love in a narrative story in a 0.78

00:40:50.840 movie and especially in a movie about salvation? What does love have to do with salvation? Now,

00:40:54.960 I recall hearing that love is actually one of the theological virtues and the greatest of them

00:41:00.040 without which we have nothing. That God himself is love. I remember hearing that. She said,

00:41:05.340 we don't need love okay so she does that bit then speaking of the battles and the man and the brute

00:41:10.300 force she's asked who who wins in a battle super girl or superman who's gonna win you versus

00:41:18.460 superman i'm gonna win but it's because he's gonna let me win because he is that's just his

00:41:25.700 character yeah yeah but you're also stronger but i'm stronger objectively objectively stronger

00:41:30.740 okay this is obviously contradictory but but there's a little bit of reality there with her

00:41:35.780 there are a little little reality peeks out in these comments she said who would win in a fight

00:41:39.640 super girl or superman super girl okay it's kind of cute she saw my character would win and it's

00:41:44.940 ironic because everyone knows that isn't the case but then she goes but i'd win because he would let

00:41:48.540 me win okay well that makes more sense yeah i guess that's true but then she goes no but i am

00:41:53.520 stronger and now you can now she's contradicting herself you can't tell but whatever she thinks

00:41:58.400 about the character. This has been the argument from all these big superhero movies and sci-fi

00:42:04.680 movies for the last 10 years. This is really what destroyed Star Wars is, and South Park parodied

00:42:12.000 this. And they had Kathleen Kennedy as Cartman, right? And say like, I know what we'll do to the

00:42:16.800 movie. We'll put a chick in it. We'll put a chick in it and make it lame and gay. And we're going 1.00

00:42:20.120 to put a chick in it. And that's how they changed all the movies to the point that in the new Star

00:42:24.060 Wars movies, you get some little girl who's fighting the new Darth Vader character. And

00:42:28.160 she's winning on strength. I mean, it doesn't, it doesn't, it's just not true. I remember asking

00:42:32.700 this of a millennial, a younger millennial, but a millennial, this was 10 years ago.

00:42:37.140 We were talking about gender equality and fighting and all this stuff. And I said, hold on,

00:42:42.620 you don't, you know that men are stronger than women, right? You know that. And he looked at me

00:42:47.720 like I was crazy. This is a guy who was somewhat conservative. He goes, no, I mean, some men are

00:42:51.820 stronger than some women. I said, hold on, that's not what I said. Men, just men are stronger than

00:42:58.000 women. Full stop. The strongest woman ever, maybe, maybe could kind of push around the weakest man 1.00

00:43:08.720 ever. Maybe, but even then, probably not. He said, no, what are you talking about? He didn't

00:43:12.960 believe that. Younger millennials and Gen Z largely believe that men and women are physically

00:43:20.020 basically indistinguishable. That's why they've embraced the transgender ideology. But it's not 1.00

00:43:25.420 true. Some would even say, well, women in many ways are stronger than men. Okay. She goes on.

00:43:30.180 She was being criticized for all of this wackiness and for potentially destroying the box office on

00:43:36.480 this movie. And what did she say? Did she say, oh yeah, my bad. I don't mean it. I'm just getting

00:43:40.180 a little over my skis. That's no, but it's going to be a fun movie for everybody. No, no, no.

00:43:44.240 She derides her critics as Christian dads of four. She saw these people forget about them.

00:43:52.200 They have these social media accounts.

00:43:53.580 It's like dad of four, Christian.

00:43:56.000 So the enemy for the superhero movie are Christian dads of four, 0.94

00:43:59.280 Christianity, obviously the biggest religion in the country,

00:44:02.240 and dads, people who have kids.

00:44:04.260 Kids, the people who go see these movies. 0.56

00:44:06.960 She says, those are the people I hate.

00:44:08.980 And she goes further.

00:44:09.760 She goes, I mean, whose opinion do you really care about?

00:44:13.560 If you're pissing off the right kind of people, you're doing okay.

00:44:16.120 The right kind of people being the audience for this movie.

00:44:18.820 I am really excited to see the box office come in for this movie.

00:44:24.000 Don't forget, Snow White, which pushed, in some ways, a tamer version of this same kind of press

00:44:29.600 tour. Snow White was a box office nuclear bomb. It was Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined. It bombed.

00:44:38.960 It got $205.6 million globally. It had a production budget of $336.5 million. That's

00:44:45.460 not counting all of the P&A, everything else that went into it after the fact. Snow White,

00:44:49.880 which we call Sandbeige, cost the studio an estimated $170 million in losses. And that

00:44:58.280 might be scratching the surface for Supergirl, which I don't intend to see. I will go see Toy

00:45:01.880 Story because my kids love Toy Story, and I hope they didn't ruin Toy Story. There was fear with

00:45:06.420 the new movies that come out of beloved older franchises. You just fear that they're going to

00:45:09.780 ruin it. But maybe I'll have a review next week. I'm hoping they don't ruin Toy Story. In any case,

00:45:13.620 supergirl ain't ain't reserving my ticket so much more to get to i have so much more to get to but
