00:01:16.860 midterm elections start to look surprisingly good for Republicans. But threats loom as Secretary

00:01:22.260 of State, sorry, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth hits up Capitol Hill for more funding as the Iran

00:01:45.620 this is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:57.560 welcome back to the show little technical difficulty there at the top of the show

00:02:10.680 i don't know exactly what happened but i'm very very confident it is professor jacob's fault

00:02:16.360 we have a great guest coming on at the very end of the show my favorite mma fighter a close friend

00:02:22.860 of the creme de la creme Michael Knoll Show community. First though, just on some basic

00:02:27.360 political news, big win for conservatives, big win for MAGA, big win for President Trump last

00:02:33.380 night in Arizona. Andy Biggs won the Arizona governor primary. This was a primary that

00:02:39.140 included Congressman David Schweikert and businessman Scott Neely, along with Ken Maselli.

00:02:47.660 There were a number of people running for this spot. And Andy Biggs is the guy who won it.

00:02:52.600 Andy Biggs had the endorsement of two very important conservatives, one being Donald Trump,

00:02:56.940 the other being Charlie Kirk. Charlie was a big proponent of Andy, obviously, before he was

00:03:03.100 killed. And so this was a big win for the MAGA, conservative, populist side of the movement.

00:03:10.100 It's also really important because Arizona is one of five states that Trump won in 2024,

00:03:16.240 where a Democrat governor is on the ballot in 2026.

00:03:21.820 So this is a real opportunity for conservatives.

00:03:24.240 And one of the arguments against Andy Biggs in the primary

00:03:27.020 was that he was too Trumpy, he was too conservative.

00:03:29.820 You know, Arizona isn't like that.

00:03:31.860 Arizona is the state of John McCain.

00:03:33.540 Arizona is more the state of maverick, moderate Republicans.

00:03:37.260 And so this is bad.

00:03:38.320 The fact that Andy Biggs was, you know, supporting Trump

00:03:42.920 even during 2020, even after the worst day in the history of our Constitution, January 6th.

00:03:48.660 You know, that was really the attack line used on him in the primary. It didn't work.

00:03:51.920 The Republican Party belongs to Donald Trump. That is true nationally. That's apparently true

00:03:57.960 in Arizona. So the Trump-backed candidate wins. That's a good look for Trump in the midterms.

00:04:02.540 And also, it's very important, the fact that Trump recently won that state while it has a

00:04:08.980 Democrat governor. While that Democrat governor was on the ballot in the midterms, it's really

00:04:12.260 a good sign for the GOP and for these midterm elections. Everything should be working against

00:04:20.260 the GOP right now. Historically, the GOP should get clobbered in the midterms. The fact that you

00:04:26.240 have this war that's pretty unpopular, the Iran war, which we'll get to in a second,

00:04:30.140 should really clobber the GOP. The fact that there's some economic instability should really

00:04:34.180 clobber the GOP, on and on and on and on and on. The best thing the GOP has going for it though

00:04:40.120 is the Democrats because people really, really don't like the Democrats. They actually trust

00:04:45.160 the GOP more than the Democrats. I think a lot of it with the Democrats, people are going to think

00:04:49.960 I'm beating a dead horse, but I'm really not here. A lot of it goes back to the Dems going all in on

00:04:55.580 woke, especially transing the kids. You might say that's a minor issue that affects relatively few

00:05:00.800 people, but it just, it so exposed the Democrats' error in judgment, they have not recovered from

00:05:05.560 it. They are doing everything they can right now to change their image. They're doing everything

00:05:11.900 they can to run away from woke. Zoran Mamdani is doing that. You've got AOC saying she's not

00:05:17.460 really a leftist. She's a working class person. It isn't working though. So good news for Trump, 0.98

00:05:23.680 good news for the GOP. Now, there's some bad news for President Trump and the administration,

00:05:26.980 which is that the Iran war, which we were all hoping was going to wrap up in four to five weeks,

00:05:32.020 is now approaching the end of its fifth month and with no end in sight. Looking into its sixth

00:05:36.900 month, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth was on Capitol Hill because the administration needs

00:05:41.580 more money. The war has cost about $37, $38 billion thus far. They'll need some more money

00:05:47.380 to prosecute the war. And Pete Hegseth met some really strong headwinds on Capitol Hill.

00:05:52.720 The Democrats accused the administration of starting a needless war.

00:05:57.020 Here's his response.

00:05:58.800 And crushed from the beginning, militarily.

00:06:01.040 Their capabilities are nowhere near ours.

00:06:03.480 I would take issue with your characterization that we started this war.

00:06:08.380 Iran started this war 47 years ago, and they've killed thousands of Americans, including our brothers on the battlefield in Iraq.

00:06:14.280 With all respect, Mr. Secretary, let me just ask.

00:06:21.680 Okay, so Chris Van Hollen doesn't have a great response to this, which is the kind of GOP line.

00:06:30.460 We didn't start the war.

00:06:31.700 Iran started the war 47 years ago. 1.00

00:06:33.700 And it's true enough. 0.91

00:06:34.700 Iran overthrew, the Mullahs overthrew the CIA-backed regime, the U.S.-backed regime, the Shah, and then immediately took a bunch of Americans hostage. 0.52

00:06:43.620 They killed hundreds of Americans in the Beirut barracks bombings.

00:06:46.320 They killed hundreds, if not thousands, of Americans during the war on terror.

00:06:50.760 And so, and they were developing a nuclear weapon, which the United States, as the hegemon said,

00:06:55.480 they can't do. Okay, fine. Fair enough. I agree in principle. I don't think that line of argument,

00:07:03.020 though, is going to work if this war really takes a negative turn. If you start to see a lot of

00:07:09.800 American casualties, if you start to see really awful images on the TV, if it drags on past six

00:07:16.080 months, maybe a year, maybe two years. I don't think that line is really going to work because

00:07:20.780 there was a new start of the conflict, which began about five months ago, that was after a

00:07:29.360 discrete conflict to destroy the nuclear facilities a year prior. So it is a vulnerability

00:07:34.740 for the administration, and nobody's going to benefit by pretending otherwise. I mean, this was

00:07:39.220 why I said, had I been on the NSC, nobody invited me, but had I been on the NSC,

00:07:42.820 I would have made the arguments against the war, against the latest war. 0.99

00:07:47.500 Not because Iran doesn't deserve it.

00:07:49.400 Not because Pete is wrong when he says Iran's been waging a kind of war on us for 47 years. 0.86

00:07:53.900 Just because I felt the most likely scenario was going to be a quagmire like this one. 0.72

00:07:59.960 So because this has dragged down a little longer, the military needs a little bit more funding.

00:08:06.660 The Dems on Capitol Hill don't want to give it to him.

00:08:08.820 Here's what the Secretary of War says.

00:08:09.900 american men and women as opposed to ukrainian men and women is a higher priority for the united

00:08:17.180 states senate so five supplementals that went to ukraine as good as that cause may be why is that

00:08:23.300 righteous to do but funding troops in harm's way right now uh given the threat and what they're

00:08:30.260 undertaking this is a partisan exercise and it's hypocrisy and i appreciate you pointing it out

00:08:35.620 Real quick, Madam Secretary, question for you.

00:08:39.780 When the Russia-Ukraine war started, we saw, obviously, cost go up around the world.

00:08:45.960 Okay, so this is a really good line of argument here from Pete.

00:08:50.300 Pete, you know, he's a smart cookie, that one.

00:08:53.140 And he points out, okay, you Democrats on the panel, you don't want to fund the American troops who are in the Persian Gulf right now.

00:08:59.920 Okay, why did you give five supplementals to Ukraine?

00:09:02.700 because you think that the war in Iran is a quagmire.

00:09:10.340 You don't think the Ukraine war is a quagmire

00:09:12.380 because you think the war in Iran is a war of choice

00:09:16.960 that doesn't speak toward direct interests.

00:09:19.980 Hold on, you think that's true,

00:09:22.500 but that's not true of Ukraine?

00:09:23.860 I think America has a lot more strategic interests

00:09:26.300 involved in Iran,

00:09:28.400 is much more directly involved in Iran

00:09:30.260 than it is in Ukraine.

00:09:31.060 And so he is weakening a lot of the Dem arguments, but nevertheless, Iran is the vulnerability for the administration.

00:09:40.400 I don't envy the administration because they had this impossible choice, which was the vast majority of Americans do not want to allow Iran to get a nuclear weapon, and the vast majority of Americans don't want war with Iran, and those two things were in conflict.

00:09:54.080 I don't envy the administration, but this was always going to be the most complex thing the administration was getting into.

00:10:04.580 It was very, very high risk.

00:10:06.000 Had it really worked out quickly, it would have been a stroke of grand strategic genius.

00:10:09.920 But it's the highest risk move of the administration because it does risk the entire Trump legacy.

00:10:16.560 So they have to get out of it.

00:10:18.240 And it's the wisdom of Machiavelli in his Florentine Histories when he points out wars begin at the will of any man, but they don't end at the will of any man.

00:10:28.420 In war, your opponent gets a say.

00:10:31.200 So the Republicans in the midterms are looking really, really good.

00:10:34.960 They have to keep the Iran war issue at bay.

00:10:37.760 That doesn't necessarily mean ending it.

00:10:39.400 That doesn't mean surrendering.

00:10:40.440 That doesn't mean, but it just means you have to keep that issue at bay as a top priority.

00:10:44.080 Okay, speaking of never-ending inconveniences, I want to talk about modern therapy because there's a really important article in the Wall Street Journal about the horrible damage that therapists are doing to their patients and how the therapists are destroying families.

00:11:03.560 And the article doesn't get into this, but I think the conclusion, if you have any familiarity,

00:11:09.780 if you have any historical context with what psychology is, the conclusion we have to come

00:11:14.660 to is the psychologists are doing this damage because the psychologists don't even understand

00:11:19.320 what psychology is. So we'll get to that momentarily. First, I want to tell you about

00:11:36.520 But that division has never made much sense to me.

00:11:39.760 The reality is that every investment strategy reflects certain assumptions about the world.

00:11:44.060 Every dollar is ultimately supporting something, which raises a reasonable question.

00:11:47.760 Should your investments reflect your values?

00:12:17.400 These are really, really great guys, and they have a keen sense of something that we've been

00:12:22.340 talking about on the show for a long time, which is that you've got to be an integral whole.

00:13:03.880 Distributors, LLC. Really, really good article in the Wall Street Journal. Are therapists to blame

00:13:10.120 for the rise of adults cutting off their parents? Many moms and dads believe that their adult

00:13:14.440 children are getting bad advice, and a growing number of researchers agree everything becomes

00:13:18.520 trauma, we hear. This is from Elizabeth Bernstein. Really, really good article. I'll just give you

00:13:23.140 the top line of it. Shoshana Rubley was shocked by her therapist's advice given in her second

00:13:29.840 session. So she signs up with this shrink, gives him 300 bucks, and the shrink says, hey,

00:13:36.860 you need to cut off your parents. But the counselor was recommended by someone she knew

00:13:41.860 and had impressive credentials, so she did as she was told. She cut off all ties with her mother.

00:13:48.320 The article asks, is it really good therapy to break your mother's heart?

00:13:51.420 listen to these statistics one in four americans is estranged from or has cut ties with a close

00:14:01.200 relative at any given time so i either had the ties cut by the other guy or has has actively

00:14:07.200 cut ties with a relative one in four americans ten percent one in ten americans is estranged

00:14:15.260 from a parent or a child. Can you imagine? Well, statistically, maybe you can imagine.

00:14:21.840 This is according to research by Carl Pillemer, a family sociologist and professor of human

00:14:26.760 development at Cornell. He thinks one of the driving factors here, the reason why these

00:14:31.900 numbers are increasing, is because of tensions over politics and social issues continuing to

00:14:36.860 rise. I've seen this firsthand. I've seen it up close. Among some 7,000 estranged parents surveyed

00:14:43.960 April, a third of them believe their adult child's therapist had influenced or recommended the

00:14:49.840 decision to end the relationship. So is that good therapy? In some cases, you have the parents'

00:15:00.160 money going to the children who use the money to pay the therapist to tell the kid to cut off

00:15:07.820 ties with the parent. Is that really good therapy? Is that good for the human person? Is that good

00:15:12.920 psychiatry and psychology. What are the negative consequences? The journal mentions a few.

00:15:18.880 For one, there is no scientific evidence that separating from a close relative is inherently

00:15:25.980 beneficial. So right off the bat, hey, hey, yeah, stop talking to your mom or stop talking to your

00:15:33.020 kid or whatever it is, says the therapist. There is no scientific evidence that that

00:15:38.200 is beneficial at all. There is long-term damage, broken relationships with siblings,

00:15:45.600 grandchildren, parents as they age. That is unexpected. As Christine Droney, who's a

00:15:51.080 clinical social worker in Pennsylvania, says, you can have somebody die during the estrangement.

00:15:55.720 And there are lifelong consequences. So your stupid shrink tells you to stop talking to your 1.00

00:16:00.780 mom or your dad. Then your mom or your dad dies during your selfish and idiotic estrangement. 1.00

00:16:06.440 And then you come to regret that later in life, and you can blame the psychologist, but the psychologist has moved on to another patient. 1.00

00:16:15.580 What are some other negative consequences?

00:16:19.260 The Cornell research, or Pillimer, shows that while people who start a cutoff often feel a temporary sense of relief, they also experience, quote, significantly higher rates of chronic unhappiness and depression over time.

00:16:30.320 This is the Exeter cost.

00:16:31.640 So, not only is there no scientific—I shouldn't laugh, this is very sad.

00:16:36.440 Not only is there no scientific evidence that cutting off your family, for whatever reason, makes you happier, there is evidence that it makes you less happy.

00:16:47.940 Just a couple more points here.

00:16:52.840 Very often, when you cut off a family member, you are cutting off your best source of support.

00:16:59.840 So yeah, you go to the shrink.

00:17:01.060 As long as you're paying the shrink's bills, the shrink will hear you out and tell you you're right about everything and nothing's your fault.

00:17:05.140 and you should cut off your family.

00:17:07.420 But when you stop paying the bills to the shrink,

00:17:10.200 you don't have any support network

00:17:11.620 because you've just cut off your support network.

00:17:13.740 And so the last point that the article details,

00:17:16.500 this person, Shoshana Rubley,

00:17:18.760 cut off her mom because shrink told her to

00:17:20.940 during the second appointment.

00:17:22.840 The estrangement lasted 10 years

00:17:24.640 despite the poor mother consistently reaching out,

00:17:27.960 trying to restart a relationship.

00:17:30.500 During that time, the patient, Rubley, fell in love,

00:17:33.420 got married, lost two grandparents, had other family members cut her off because she was so

00:17:39.020 awful to her own mother. She goes, it was really hard. There were all these unintended consequences.

00:17:44.300 Now, Rubley has children of her own, realized that she was wrong, realized that all parents

00:17:49.360 make mistakes, reestablishes a relationship with her mother. And the mother says, was thrilled to

00:17:54.880 hear from her. It was a real trial, but I always figured someday she would realize she'd made a

00:17:58.120 mistake. Okay. So is it, I guess, a happy ending to that story? For a lot of families, there are

00:18:04.080 not. Now, what the article doesn't get to and what a lot of the political commentary on this

00:18:08.400 will not get to is the problem is not just that some psychologists have gone wrong or that some

00:18:14.900 shrinks are making mistakes. The problem is that psychologists are just fundamentally not equipped

00:18:21.440 to do psychology. First question you should ask yourself, if you have a friend or family member,

00:18:27.140 maybe it's you personally, who've gone to a shrink for like 30 years and you're not getting any

00:18:31.440 better. You should say, huh, I guess the shrink probably isn't very helpful. I guess the psychologist

00:18:36.440 doesn't know very much about psychology. Very often people will still keep going to the shrink.

00:18:39.720 Maybe they just treat the psychologist as a drug dealer, which a lot of people do.

00:18:42.860 They'll even use like telemedicine to just beam into a drug dealer in some other state,

00:18:47.100 get Prozac or whatever they want. But if you're not actually improving, you should ask yourself

00:18:53.240 why that is. And it comes down to the first question, which is what is psychology? Psychology

00:18:58.680 refers to the psyche, which is the soul, breath, spirit, soul. That's what that means. So,

00:19:05.900 psychology is the study of the soul. I would be willing to bet that most clinical psychologists

00:19:15.760 working today do not believe that the soul exists. What is the soul? The soul is immaterial,

00:19:22.360 just as your body is material. The soul is the substantial form of the human person.

00:19:27.440 Your body is the matter. That's the material aspect of the human person. The soul is a

00:19:31.500 substantial form. It's what makes you, you. It's why you are not merely a bag of carbon molecules

00:19:38.540 and water. You are Johnny or Sally or whatever. That's because of your soul. You don't need to be

00:19:44.980 even particularly religious to recognize that the soul is just what integrates all of the matter

00:19:50.380 of your person. It is what makes you what you are. Okay. Psychologists, especially in an age

00:19:57.840 of scientific materialism, probably don't even think the soul exists. Even the ones who do

00:20:02.620 are not really expert in matters of the soul because matters of the soul go deeper than what

00:20:09.760 passes for psychology today. It involves questions of religion. It involves questions of morality,

00:20:16.380 of ethics, of anthropology. Who are we? Where do we come from? Ultimately, it gets down to God.

00:20:22.500 Psychologists, if they are any good at dealing with matters of the soul, it's accidental,

00:20:29.980 actually. It's not even necessarily part of their training. If they happen to have a decent

00:20:35.580 understanding of the soul, it's because they are accidentally Christian, because they are 0.97

00:20:40.960 accidentally steeped in philosophy. None of that actually comes from the psychological 0.66

00:20:45.300 profession. This is true of so much of modern society is just scientists are not really

00:20:54.960 qualified for the work they're doing because it involves ethics and philosophy and all the rest

00:20:58.700 of it. However, there's one more point on this I want to make. It's a very practical point,

00:21:03.140 getting out of the heady field of the psyche and religion and morality and everything.

00:21:07.400 Just a really practical point. I'm glad the Wall Street Journal ran this article. I'm glad people

00:21:11.900 are more skeptical of psychologists, especially when they give bad advice. But let's take this a

00:21:17.160 step further. If cutting off your mom or your dad does not actually make you happy, if it actually

00:21:24.060 is much more likely to make you unhappy, what conclusions can we draw? What conclusions can we

00:21:30.840 draw about general family estrangement and how everything the modern world tells us about it is

00:21:36.020 not true and how we shouldn't cut off our family members? What conclusions should we draw when it

00:21:41.320 comes to marriage and divorce, which is the most immediate, urgent question of family.

00:21:48.060 Because we live at a time when we're told that divorce can be a good thing. Sometimes people

00:21:53.000 need to be divorced. Even if you have kids, look, a kid is going to do better if mommy and daddy are

00:21:57.600 happy, and they're going to be happy when they're separated. They're not going to be happy when

00:22:00.660 they're together. They don't make each other happy. So they're going to go off, and they're

00:22:03.920 going to be separated, and they're going to get stepmommy and stepdaddy. But don't worry. I know

00:22:07.460 it's going to be a little bit of an adjustment for the kid, but he's going to spend some time

00:22:13.280 at both houses. But you know what? Mommy and daddy are going to be happy. So then the kid's

00:22:18.260 going to be happy. That premise alone is ridiculous. At the very least, we should say 0.99

00:22:24.020 a very dubious premise. But the crazy part is, even the first part of the argument,

00:22:31.840 Even the first, the major premise is not true.

00:22:36.640 Divorce doesn't even make the parents happy.

00:22:39.300 It's really a Faustian bargain.

00:22:40.660 Because you say, well, my kid might be a little unhappy for a while,

00:22:43.460 but I will personally be happy.

00:22:44.600 But you personally will not be happy.

00:22:46.080 In fact, there are studies on this.

00:22:47.520 There was a study out of UChicago from 2002.

00:22:49.960 It was going around social media.

00:22:50.900 I think Jake Kozlowski pointed this out,

00:22:53.080 and some AI sort of tech guy.

00:22:55.880 Two-thirds of unhappily married people who did not divorce

00:22:59.440 ended up calling their marriage happy five years later.

00:23:01.840 two-thirds of people who were unhappily married who wanted to get divorced

00:23:07.880 two-thirds of them who did not divorce in five years said they had a happy marriage

00:23:14.020 you want to hear it get really crazy four out of five very unhappy people people who really

00:23:21.900 really wanted to get divorced four out of five of them who did not get divorced

00:23:26.720 said they had a happy marriage five years later.

00:23:31.300 It was, in fact, the least happy people in their marriages

00:23:34.520 among this cohort who ended up, 1.00

00:23:38.320 they were more likely, the most likely,

00:23:41.080 to call themselves happily married five years later.

00:23:45.620 What about the divorced people?

00:23:46.960 What about the people who actually did get divorced?

00:23:50.100 They were no happier after the divorce.

00:23:52.200 so our our our modern science especially social sciences especially psychology

00:24:00.980 appear to be totally wrong about people they're they're good about dentistry modern science is

00:24:10.520 really good about dentistry it's good about electronics it's good about computing it's

00:24:13.460 good about transportation it's like very impressive on those things but when it comes 0.98

00:24:16.960 to people, how people actually work, modern science totally sucks. It gets everything wrong. 0.94

00:24:24.040 And even it's gotten things so wrong that some modern scientists are beginning to question

00:24:29.320 what has been orthodoxy for a long time when it comes to marriage, when it comes to

00:24:33.280 relationships, when it comes to family, parents, siblings, whatever. Why is that?

00:24:39.380 It is because engineers are actually good at engineering, and it's because mechanics are good at mechanics, and astrophysicists are good at physics and the sky and jet propulsion.

00:24:57.340 They're actually good at that stuff. But psychologists really have no competence at

00:25:04.920 the thing that they're ostensibly doing, which is understanding the psyche, the soul.

00:25:11.400 They neglect the soul outright. A lot of modern anthropologists don't really understand human

00:25:17.380 nature because they're writing off so much of human nature at the beginning, the immaterial

00:25:20.000 part, the soulful part, the moral part. You can't do that. You just don't understand what man is.

00:25:24.800 If you reduce man to some mere bag of chemicals or something, you are not dealing with man.

00:25:29.960 Okay, speaking of nature, I want to get to the bizarro world, unethical, deceived, scientific futurists like Brian Johnson, who is cloning himself so he can harvest organs from the baby.

00:25:46.340 I want to get to that in a moment.

00:25:47.960 First, I want to talk about bringing balance back to nature with balance of nature.

00:25:51.520 Go to balanceofnature.com, use promo code Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S.

00:25:55.800 Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably seen another headline this summer

00:25:58.940 about food recalls or news making people side-eye the produce aisle, you know what I'm talking

00:26:04.000 about, maybe putting down the next taco.

00:26:07.600 One day they're telling you to eat more fruits and vegetables.

00:26:10.360 The next day you're standing in the grocery store thinking, is this spinach or is this

00:26:15.300 a major life decision?

00:26:17.180 The nice thing about Balance of Nature is that it cuts through a lot of that noise.

00:26:21.480 Their whole health system is made from 47 real fruits,

00:26:23.960 vegetables, spices, and fiber,

00:26:25.560 making it an incredibly simple way

00:26:26.900 to work more whole food ingredients

00:26:28.780 into your daily routine.

00:26:30.160 No complicated meal plans, no trendy diets,

00:26:32.360 just a habit that is easy to stick with.

00:26:34.640 A lot of people struggle with bodily things

00:26:37.220 when they're traveling, when they're out of their routine.

00:26:39.040 Well, that is where the fiber and spice blend comes in,

00:26:42.320 works very, very well.

00:26:43.920 It's just great.

00:26:44.820 Everyone loves Balance of Nature here at The Daily Wire.

00:26:47.060 So go to balanceofnature.com today,

00:26:48.980 subscribe to the whole health system

00:26:55.180 That's balanceofnature.com, promo code Knowles. Do you know Brian Johnson? He's this guy,

00:27:01.200 he goes viral all the time on social media. He's some kind of entrepreneur, some tech futurist type,

00:27:06.180 and he's a biohacker. So he wants to live forever. He wants to, at the very least,

00:27:10.160 live as long as he possibly can. And it was kind of funny. I mean, you feel bad about it, but

00:27:13.700 he, his whole life, his raison d'etre is to be healthy and live a long time and not get sick.

00:27:21.060 And he recently revealed that despite primping and pruning and preening and despite precisely

00:27:28.580 calculating every aspect of his entire life, he's come down with some disease where his stomach is

00:27:34.200 basically eating itself. I forget the name of the specific complication, but anyway, so it didn't,

00:27:38.960 it didn't work. Meanwhile, I'm over here, I'm smoking cigars, I'm eating cheesesteaks. I don't

00:27:42.640 want to jinx anything. I don't want to, but a lot of us out here, we don't really think about our

00:27:46.200 health that much. And we feel good most of the time. God willing, we live a long life. Anyway,

00:27:50.960 Brian Johnson is now taking this to such an extreme. He claims to have cloned himself.

00:27:56.900 Here's his own words. I just cloned myself as a newborn with this clone. I can

00:28:00.700 become my own blood boy, test therapies on the clone, grow organs for transplantation,

00:28:07.380 develop new treatments, inject young cells. This baby Brian lives in a Petri dish for now,

00:28:12.640 This may be scary to some people, a dystopian future,

00:28:14.880 but for others, they will see it

00:28:15.880 as the inevitable future of health.

00:28:17.840 Clinical trials are already using this technology

00:28:19.880 to restore dopamine neurons for Parkinson's,

00:28:22.720 heart health, and eyesight.

00:28:23.940 The process involves a blood draw.

00:28:27.060 My cells were extracted.

00:28:28.560 Yamanaka factors applied.

00:28:29.820 I don't know what a Yamanaka is.

00:28:31.920 I think they make good pianos and guitars, 1.00

00:28:33.800 but I don't know Yamanaka. 1.00

00:28:35.100 Reset epigenetic age,

00:28:36.440 restoring them to an embryonic-like state.

00:28:38.460 So I'm making my own baby version.

00:28:40.220 It goes on and on and on.

00:28:41.120 We don't have time to get to all of it.

00:28:42.640 but he says it's going to reverse aging

00:28:44.240 and we're going to live forever.

00:28:46.180 He really thinks he's going to live forever.

00:28:48.900 And the way he's going to do it

00:28:50.360 is by creating a baby version of himself 0.55

00:28:52.400 and like a vampire, 1.00

00:28:53.860 sucking the blood out of it, 1.00

00:28:55.020 cutting up, 0.99

00:28:55.620 harvesting all of the organs

00:28:56.620 and sacrificing the baby's life,

00:28:59.040 the baby,

00:28:59.640 which is a kind of a copy of him

00:29:00.960 for himself.

00:29:03.080 This, again,

00:29:03.940 I'm not a scientific expert.

00:29:05.600 I'm not a biohacker.

00:29:06.580 I don't have a PhD.

00:29:07.580 This seems like a bad idea.

00:29:09.500 Doesn't this seem like a bad idea?

00:29:10.600 it seems like a bad idea to create babies a clone of yourself which again we use this word clone

00:29:18.060 but maybe a more biological way to think about it a more basic way that doesn't sound like a

00:29:25.080 sci-fi movie is to just say he made a twin of himself a creature that is genetically the same

00:29:32.820 as him. It'd be like an identical twin. He made the twin, and now he's going to harvest his twin's

00:29:40.760 blood and chop him up and do scientific experiments on him and take his organs.

00:29:46.100 Doesn't that, I don't know, why is it that when we say I'm going to harvest the organs of my twin, 0.91

00:29:50.700 I'm going to keep my twin as a kind of a slave so that I can suck his blood and live a little 0.97

00:29:54.980 longer. Why does that sound worse than saying I'm going to do it to a clone? Well, because of the 0.98

00:29:59.700 same problem we have in psychology, which is people don't really ask themselves what a clone

00:30:03.300 is. What does he think a clone is? What we like to think is that a clone is just something for us.

00:30:14.520 A clone is not really a human being, in other words. A twin is really a human being. A clone

00:30:19.000 is not really a human being. A twin and a clone are exactly the same thing. But we just say,

00:30:23.240 no, no, the difference is I don't have any rights to this other person when it's a human being,

00:30:28.400 but I do have rights to a clone. It's like the difference between

00:30:33.560 marriage and prostitution. Well, there are multiple differences between marriage and

00:30:39.500 prostitution. But let's just say in the marital act, the act that defines what a marriage is,

00:30:45.800 doing that with your wife and doing that with a prostitute physically look like the same thing. 0.88

00:30:54.880 The difference is when you do that act with your wife, 0.79

00:30:57.520 you feel, you recognize that you have obligations to your wife. 0.98

00:31:00.720 When you do that act with a prostitute, 0.89

00:31:02.340 the whole point is you have no obligations to this person. 0.96

00:31:04.720 This person is really only here for your pleasure.

00:31:07.520 This person is not even really a person.

00:31:10.480 We're at least going to pretend that this is not really a person.

00:31:12.780 This is just a commodity to be bought and sold.

00:31:14.980 That's the idea.

00:31:16.500 But if that is wrong,

00:31:19.180 one of the reasons the prostitution probably should be illegal,

00:31:22.640 If that is wrong, how much more so, how much wronger would it be to make a baby that is genetically the same, make a twin of yourself and then harvest it for blood and organs?

00:31:34.620 this is this is the theme of modernity this is this is where a lot of the dystopian

00:31:41.540 science fiction novels and and movies come from is at least at a deep level a recognition

00:31:49.520 that the scientists are not qualified for the work that they're doing

00:31:54.620 and so what is the response to that even many conservatives will say well the response to this

00:32:00.700 misunderstanding and dearth of education is, we just need more people to study STEM.

00:32:05.540 You know, we need more people to study engineering and the hard sciences and this, that.

00:32:10.500 Yeah, no, actually. 0.87

00:32:12.040 I mean, yeah, we need that too because we don't want to lose a technology war with China.

00:32:16.340 But the answer to this problem is really not to do that at all.

00:32:21.820 The answer to this problem is to study the humanities, to seriously study the humanities,

00:32:26.680 to immerse ourselves in literature.

00:32:28.920 a lot of people are reading the odyssey now which is very good news uh to immerse ourselves in

00:32:34.040 philosophy to take religion very seriously that's the answer because uh scientific advancement

00:32:42.320 with a kind of moral philosophical religious decay is like the worst of all possible worlds

00:32:50.600 that is the tower of babel pope leo was actually warning about this in his recent encyclical

00:32:55.260 magnifica humanitas. That is the worst of all worlds. We're so afraid that we're going to fall 0.87

00:33:00.800 behind scientifically. We're so afraid that we're going to lose the AI race with China or whatever.

00:33:05.560 Yeah, that would be really bad if we lost the AI race with China. But the nightmare scenario,

00:33:10.380 the worst possible scenario for all of us, the Tower of Babel, end of the world kind of scenario

00:33:17.420 is when you have a lot of scientific progress with a lot of moral, anthropological, religious 0.77

00:33:24.140 decay. Well, that's what you currently have in psychology, in AI, actually, in all throughout

00:33:32.840 bioethics. You don't want to do that. Speaking of the corruption of the academy, one of our pals,

00:33:37.540 Brandon Gill, rising star freshman in Congress, he just nailed the head of the Smithsonian.

00:33:45.560 I talked about this on the show last week. The White House Domestic Policy Council just released

00:33:50.360 a very, very important report, which I encourage all of you to go read, on the corruption of the

00:33:56.780 Smithsonian Institution, specifically the National Museum of American History, which exists to

00:34:01.480 celebrate America, talk about our history, make sense of our founding and our development as a

00:34:06.300 country. And what it has done in recent years, explicitly, the White House brings all the

00:34:10.940 receipts, is it tries to remove a lot of American history, remove exhibits on the Founding Fathers

00:34:16.780 and the Mayflower and the Pilgrims

00:34:18.120 and all the rest of it

00:34:18.980 on the Second Continental Congress.

00:34:21.140 And to remove all of that,

00:34:22.600 and then when it does talk about any of those things,

00:34:24.600 to paint it in as negative a light as possible.

00:34:27.520 So the Smithsonian Institution got so woke,

00:34:30.600 it even jumped on the bandwagon

00:34:31.820 during BLM against whiteness.

00:34:34.400 And it's just every awful left-wing meme

00:34:37.860 you can imagine was being promoted

00:34:40.140 by the Smithsonian Institution.

00:34:43.440 So Brandon Gill was just grilling

00:34:45.220 the head of the Smithsonian.

00:34:46.780 totally nails her. Excuse me, sir? Is it important to be polite? Yes, sir. It's also interesting

00:34:55.240 because the same mass action toolkit that your organization has been promoting references

00:35:00.800 politeness as a defining characteristic of white supremacy culture. Ma'am, are you a white

00:35:07.880 supremacist? No, sir. You're not. Can you help me square why your organization says that being

00:35:16.140 polite as part of being a white supremacist? I'm not exactly familiar with that passage of

00:35:23.680 the Mass Action Toolkit, which is not the one that we developed. I can show you the passage

00:35:27.040 right here. Oh, I love it. This, by the way, just to circle us all the way back to the top of the

00:35:34.500 show, this is why Republicans who should be getting clobbered in the midterm polls are not,

00:35:41.380 and in some cases might even be a little bit up this is why it is hard the kids don't remember

00:35:47.880 man even the adults don't remember how insane the left got by 2022 2023 i mean we go back to it a

00:35:58.680 lot but they were chopping off kids genitals they really did that and and if you didn't

00:36:07.620 applaud that, you were the bad guy. You could be punished at your job and in school.

00:36:16.260 This Smithsonian Institution was publishing, here we have it,

00:36:20.600 Aspects and Assumptions of Whiteness, White Culture in the United States.

00:36:24.720 The United States, which was a 90% white country until like 30 seconds ago. Let's not forget, 0.78

00:36:31.060 just when you look at the demographics of America, until recent decades, America was a 90% white

00:36:35.540 country from its founding until like 37 seconds ago. But the Smithsonian Institution, which is

00:36:41.920 in charge of curating our understanding of American history, they invade not only against

00:36:49.320 white culture, but then they are ironically very offensive to non-white people because they say,

00:36:55.340 yeah, rugged individualism, that's an aspect of white culture, self-reliance, independence,

00:37:00.960 autonomy, achievement. That's white. Being a totally helpless, dumb little lamb, that's not 0.92

00:37:11.740 white. Okay. But white people, we're the ones who are family structure, having a family, that's 1.00

00:37:17.260 white. If you're just a deadbeat cad, derelict dad, promiscuous, then you're not white. But 0.99

00:37:25.660 you're, if you have a family, you're white. Smithsonian. Emphasis on the scientific method.

00:37:31.020 It really ties the whole show together today. Objective, rational, linear thinking. That's

00:37:37.280 white. And being a complete dumb idiot, that's not white, according to the Smithsonian. 1.00

00:37:45.320 And though, as we've discussed today, there are problems with an over-reliance on the scientific 1.00

00:37:50.420 method. There is the one area where the Smithsonian and I agree. On and on and on,

00:37:53.540 showing up for things on time that's white being irresponsible is not white thinking about your 0.98

00:37:58.660 future is white um being irresponsible being reckless that's not white on and on and on okay

00:38:04.400 so brandon gill is so good at this it's not it's not inevitable that we could nail the left on this

00:38:10.640 he's he is very good at actually doing it but this was a good exchange because one it was so subtle

00:38:18.460 do you think it's important to be polite okay because your institution says that being polite

00:38:23.240 is an aspect of white supremacy so you're a white supremacist oh no you're not and then the head of

00:38:29.220 the smithsonian says well you know i just wasn't that familiar with that part of the toolkit

00:38:33.160 it's important to nail people on this not to beat a dead horse not not to score cheap points

00:38:41.660 But right now, today, the left is trying to argue that Trump's attempts at reform of the

00:38:50.120 Smithsonian are illegitimate, awful, beyond the pale, erasing history, what have you.

00:38:58.880 Don't forget, Whoopi Goldberg was making that claim on The View to J.D. Vance, the vice

00:39:03.180 president.

00:39:04.400 Trump's erasing history. 0.99

00:39:05.800 She's taking issues specifically with the Trump administration's attempt to reform the

00:39:09.260 Smithsonian.

00:39:09.620 So it's very, very important.

00:39:11.080 for Republicans to talk to the Smithsonian and say, hey, do you guys still believe that

00:39:18.680 politeness is white supremacy? See, you have to remind people of this stuff

00:39:22.620 in order to defend the actual political good of Trump de-wokifying the Smithsonian,

00:39:28.180 but also to remind people, to not let the left get away with it, to remind people of just how

00:39:33.520 hideous the left had become, how completely indefensible the left had become.

00:39:38.780 so much so recognized by so many people that the republicans are polling basically dead even in

00:39:44.700 midterm elections they should lose in a landslide want to see your rewards go further now at shell

00:40:19.320 Speaking of education,

00:40:20.200 I really do want to get to the head

00:40:21.100 of the California Teacher Union,

00:40:22.560 who is giving you a little peek

00:40:24.760 into what public school teachers

00:40:25.900 are teaching your kids in a lot of places.

00:40:28.280 I don't have time just yet

00:40:30.380 because I have to get to my favorite comment yesterday.

00:40:32.140 this is from jay who says guess michael had to change the thumbnail because of the eu rules on

00:40:38.140 sports broadcasting okay okay so yesterday i don't we do the show there are a number of stories we

00:40:45.320 were hitting on one of which was aoc so someone tags me on social media says michael this thumbnail

00:40:50.080 is pretty crazy i said what what is it and i hadn't seen it i look at it and i don't i actually

00:40:56.860 don't know someone in the editing department someone someone in production had used a picture

00:41:02.240 of AOC that I'd never seen before that really focused on some of her whoever took the picture

00:41:10.940 was not confused about the difference between men and women let's put it that way and it was a little

00:41:14.960 it was a little much okay and I actually gave the instruction I said you know guys look I know I

00:41:20.760 know the YouTube algorithm and everything but uh let's can we tone this down please can we

00:41:25.820 so yeah i i was that was quite a thumbnail that was a journey i'm glad someone caught it before

00:41:34.180 before i did okay uh the head of the california teacher union

00:41:38.640 who also works for the main teacher union in america the american federation of teachers

00:41:45.520 uh this guy wearing a solidarity shirt for may day is is going viral once again

00:41:51.680 for, this is thanks to Corey DeAngelis, the education reformer,

00:41:56.740 for calling on his members to get out in the streets and stop the fascist Trump regime.

00:42:03.820 To fight back against this fascist regime, we need to be in the streets, wisely using our wallets,

00:42:11.460 battling in the courts, and winning at the ballot box, the center of our democracy.

00:42:16.380 so solidarity is the lesson plan is what his shirt says head of the california federation

00:42:23.480 of teachers also vice president of of randy weingarten's american federation of teachers

00:42:27.900 no surprise that the left-wing teachers are pushing this stuff but we like to put it out

00:42:35.020 of our heads we like to put it out of our heads because it's really annoying to think about what

00:42:41.320 we can do about our kids education it's very painful to think that our kids are being

00:42:44.740 seriously abused intellectually, if not physically, but they're being intellectually abused.

00:42:50.880 They're being poorly formed. We pretend in modernity that education is just cramming your

00:42:56.340 head full of facts. It's not. Education is the formation of the soul. The purpose of education,

00:43:02.100 the highest form of education, which is a liberal education, liberal arts education,

00:43:06.060 the point of that, as the word liberal would imply, is to help us to make sense of our freedom.

00:43:10.380 It's the education befitting a free man. And they're not getting that. They're getting the

00:43:14.200 opposite. They're being turned into slaves and automatons for a very evil ideology. And so it's

00:43:19.160 very painful for us to recognize that fact. We say, oh, it's not that bad. It's not that big a

00:43:22.340 deal. Oh, you know, kids are resilient. You always hear that for kids are resilient. But no, it is

00:43:28.140 that bad. However bad you think the public education unions have gotten, it's like a billion

00:43:34.260 times worse. So what do we do with that? We have two choices as far as I can tell. We can either

00:43:42.740 exclude, sorry, we can either surrender public education. So we can say, you know what, I'm not

00:43:48.180 sending my kid to that school. And you got the rich people who say, I'm going to send my kid to

00:43:51.220 private school. And you've got the both rich and poor people who say, I don't even want to send my

00:43:58.680 kid to private school. In some cases, the private schools are worse than the public schools. Places

00:44:03.080 like LA, the $60,000 a year private schools are worse than the public schools when it comes to

00:44:07.900 radical ideology. So then you get a mixture of socioeconomic classes saying, I'm going to

00:44:11.560 homeschool. That's one thing you can do. There's some benefit to that, I guess.

00:44:17.600 Depending on where you are, there can be a big benefit. You can do that, or you can try to take

00:44:24.880 control of your public education system. And maybe you have to do both. If you live in an area where

00:44:29.140 the public schools are really bad, then maybe you're going to send your kid to private school,

00:44:33.120 and maybe you're going to homeschool or whatever. But that doesn't mean you should take your foot

00:44:38.340 off the gas when it comes to driving the ball down the field on public school. Because this is

00:44:44.600 totally unacceptable. Even if your kid is one of the lucky ones who gets homeschooled or goes to

00:44:49.340 a good private school, you're going to live in a country full of people who were educated by this

00:44:54.860 guy. Solidarity is the lesson plan. Mayday. Trump is fascist. We need to overthrow the American

00:45:00.800 system of government. I mean, you're going to live in a country educated by those people.

00:45:03.740 so you can't you can't have that which means just at a basic level you have two choices you can

00:45:09.360 either surrender which is what i think most establishment conservatives have done or you can

00:45:14.140 get a little tough you can get a little what would be called authoritarian now again it's not really

00:45:18.720 authoritarian it's really just what william f buckley jr was calling for and got in man at yale

00:45:22.920 but you need to exclude teachers based on their views you need to let's be totally blunt with it

00:45:29.300 in terms of how it would be implemented it might be different but let's be totally blunt with what

00:45:32.660 we're talking about. You need viewpoint discrimination, as it has come to be called.

00:45:37.920 This is novel idea in American jurisprudence. It starts to come up in the middle to late 20th

00:45:43.680 century. It only really hits its stride in the 80s and 90s, this idea that you can't have

00:45:47.760 viewpoint discrimination. You can't discriminate based on someone's ideology or whatever.

00:45:51.660 But of course you have to. Of course you have to do that, especially in education.

00:45:55.620 You need to discriminate on behalf of the truth against falsehood. And so people who hold false

00:46:00.260 and pernicious ideologies need to be excluded. 0.99

00:46:02.680 You need to fire commie teachers for being commies. 0.63

00:46:05.960 You need to, you have to do that. 0.99

00:46:07.480 You need to fire the pro-trans teachers

00:46:10.240 for not understanding human nature.

00:46:12.520 You need to do that.

00:46:14.120 And a lot of conservatives just don't,

00:46:16.340 they feel that's illiberal or authoritarian or fascist

00:46:19.040 or whatever. 0.99

00:46:19.460 They probably agree with this lunatic teacher union guy.

00:46:22.700 And so they don't want to do it.

00:46:24.980 But then the only alternative,

00:46:26.580 let's just be honest with ourselves.

00:46:27.860 The only alternative is you surrender public education.

00:46:31.020 And if you surrender public education, you surrender your country.

00:46:33.200 Because a classroom is like a crystal ball.

00:46:35.180 It will show you what your country will be in 20 years.

00:46:37.740 So be honest about that.

00:46:38.520 If you want to be the kind of conservative who just wants to lose but be considered a sort of nice guy while it happens, okay.

00:46:45.240 But know what you're doing.

00:46:47.540 Or you can get – I'm not saying it's easy, but it is relatively simple.

00:46:51.180 You need to get tougher, and you need to be able to say we can make distinctions between right and wrong and good and bad.

00:46:55.120 We need to empower.

00:46:56.900 we not only empower the state,

00:46:58.620 the state is already empowered.

00:46:59.740 We need to, when we have electoral power,

00:47:02.820 when we have public office,

00:47:04.860 we need to use that office.

00:47:06.720 We need to use those,

00:47:08.140 the judge benches that we have.

00:47:11.540 We need to use all the branches of government

00:47:13.340 to promote certain ideas

00:47:16.200 and minimize other ideas,

00:47:19.740 especially in education.

00:47:21.840 That is a prerequisite of education.

00:47:24.900 Okay, so there is some

00:47:26.020 good news though for the youngins on the horizon I can't quite get to right now because I'll just

00:47:31.420 tease it a little bit. New home prices are going down for the first time since 1974. New home 0.88

00:47:37.040 prices are lower than the prices of existing homes. That's like a tiny little sliver of good

00:47:44.080 news in an otherwise bleak economic outlook for young people. So we'll get to that momentarily

00:47:47.620 first though, because we want to toughen ourselves up for this difficult culture that we're fighting
