00:02:12.160 back at people who oppose his client's massacre of her children by calling the critics' comments

00:02:17.400 evil. I, for one, consider the infanticide to be the more evil aspect of the whole affair,

00:02:23.460 but we will get into it. And then the first ever midterm Republican National Convention

00:02:28.400 kicks off in Dallas. As new polling suggests, Republicans are headed for a slaughter in the

00:02:34.420 elections. Don't like that? Hate those numbers? Got to turn things around over the next month

00:02:38.940 and a half. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:02:53.460 One of those big races that could flip James Tallarico, Democrat in Texas,

00:03:04.380 he is spending this month before the elections doubling down on his love of Islam

00:03:10.300 and his belief that God is, quote, non-binary.

00:03:13.340 We'll get to how they're running. 0.88

00:03:15.400 The fact that he could run this way and still be leading, not good news.

00:03:19.140 so we got to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps and get moving in the right direction. Well,

00:03:25.160 when you want to pull yourself up by your bootstraps and get moving, I strongly recommend

00:04:53.180 briefly. Don Lemon show, after CNN, Don Lemon, total wacko, hosts Gavin Newsom on his show. 0.65

00:05:00.640 Gavin Newsom takes shots at Republicans and starts bragging that he expanded Medicaid in his state.

00:05:08.020 what they will say on fox news is why is gavin newsom out here in south carolina his state is

00:05:14.180 in shambles and he's not serving the people of south carolina well i mean i mean serving the

00:05:18.280 people of california excuse me i think they deserve more than a seven dollar 25 cent minimum

00:05:22.260 wage here i think they deserve more than a governor refuses to expand medicaid we not only

00:05:26.580 expanded medicaid but we have we've only stayed in america providing universal health care regardless

00:05:31.240 of pre-existing condition ability to pay and your immigration status i know how offensive that is

00:05:35.440 to people. And I get how controversial that is. We delivered that. Okay. So Newsom says we expanded

00:05:41.680 Medicaid. We expanded all of our state government-run healthcare systems to immigrants and

00:05:48.680 specifically to illegal aliens. So to everybody. How has that worked out? New report. Got to give

00:05:55.560 a hat tip here to Chris Rufo over at City Journal. Chris Rufo and Madeline Rowley.

00:06:00.580 headline how did this nigerian chief make millions from medicaid an actual nigerian chief i'll just

00:06:09.000 read you a little bit from the article it's too good you need to read the whole thing last december

00:06:13.220 chief nathan agbatui arrived in a motorcade outside the grand entrance of a newly built palace

00:06:20.240 in abateti nigeria a videographer shouted praises in igbo calling him quote half man half god

00:06:29.560 and commending him for building a palace free of charge

00:06:32.960 for the Abateti community.

00:06:37.160 Agbatui is hailed on social media as a philanthropist

00:06:41.560 who's built roads and housing.

00:06:43.760 He sponsors medical clinics.

00:06:45.320 He's given food to the needy in Abateti.

00:06:48.960 And it turns out that this chief, this Nigerian chief,

00:06:52.880 is the CEO of the California Home Health Agency. 0.98

00:06:57.760 Now, that's kind of weird. 0.79

00:06:59.560 He's a Nigerian chief, but he's the CEO of an American company, and not just any American

00:07:04.340 company.

00:07:05.060 He's the CEO of an American company that is funded by the U.S. taxpayer.

00:07:10.620 The California Home Health Agency supposedly provides in-home medical care and a range

00:07:17.640 of specialty treatments.

00:07:19.600 Now, starting way back in the olden days of 2018, the California Home Health Agency made

00:07:26.480 less than $2 million for Medicaid.

00:07:29.300 But after 2021, over the ensuing three years, the company raked in more than $34 million.

00:07:37.080 That's a pretty big increase. I guess his business was booming. So they make all this money. They've

00:07:44.280 got all sorts of properties in California, but also this guy is the chief in Nigeria,

00:07:49.840 and he's building all this stuff in Nigeria. Among other things, he's building golden statues of

00:07:56.640 himself in Nigeria with all of this wealth that he's made in California from his taxpayer-funded

00:08:02.420 company. So our friends over at City Journal decided to go check out the company. They drove,

00:08:09.560 I'm reading straight from the article, drove to California Home Health Agency's location in a

00:08:13.600 strip mall in Riverside. The blinds were shut tight as they knocked on the door. After a while,

00:08:19.940 a woman answered, but the woman didn't invite them in. The woman didn't offer them any medical

00:08:24.240 services. The woman just said they had to call Chief Nathan Agbatui. Okay, so the journalists

00:08:35.120 here, Chris Ruffo and Madeline Rowley, they showed this woman who was at the California Health

00:08:40.900 Cut, the totally legit health company, showed a picture of Chief Agbatui standing in front of the

00:08:46.360 golden statues that he had erected of himself and his wife in Nigeria. And she said, yeah, that's

00:08:51.080 him. That's Nathan Agbatui. That's the guy who's supposedly the CEO of this company in California.

00:08:56.180 So what did they do? They drove to Chief, not Mr. He's Chief Agbatui's gigantic mansion,

00:09:03.040 but the gates to the mansion were closed. That's very unfortunate. So they called him.

00:09:07.740 They asked if they could talk. Chief Agbatui brushed them off. He said he didn't have time.

00:09:11.720 He's really busy. He's busy not running the healthcare company, which had the blinds closed.

00:09:16.840 He's busy presumably erecting more golden statues of himself in Nigeria.

00:09:20.360 But he said that he didn't do anything wrong, and he worked really, really hard, and this

00:09:25.740 was definitely not fraud.

00:09:27.680 Now, we know that Medicaid has been one of the most fertile grounds for fraud in the 1.00

00:09:33.200 United States, specifically fraud from immigrants. 1.00

00:09:36.340 The Somalis in Minnesota and in Ohio, Ohio, which is a Republican state, and in California 1.00

00:09:42.660 and elsewhere.

00:09:43.460 There is, according to the City Journal, an expert estimate that up to 40% of all spending on the California health program is lost to fraud.

00:09:55.960 This is the cherry on top of the sundae of this kind of corruption and fraud. 0.94

00:10:02.460 Because it's not just some Somalis running the Leering Center, not the Learning Center, it's the Leering Center. 1.00

00:10:09.340 it's not just some people doing scammy kind of healthcare companies. It's a literal Nigerian 0.96

00:10:16.640 prince. In the old days, for some of you kids out there who weren't around in the early days of the

00:10:21.540 internet, you'd get these emails and they would purportedly be from a Nigerian prince. And it

00:10:25.720 wasn't really a Nigerian prince. It was just some scammer who was trying to get your credit card 0.98

00:10:28.940 and bank information. In this case, it's actually a Nigerian prince. Our system is so rife with 0.74

00:10:38.100 fraud, specifically in the Democrat states run by people like Gavin Newsom, who's bragging about 1.00

00:10:42.960 opening up his healthcare system to all of these people, that the actual Nigerian princes are

00:10:49.080 getting in on it too. This is an amazing, amazing issue. One, it shows you one of the perils of any

00:10:56.140 rich empire. We are a really rich empire. We have prioritized shortcuts and little cheat codes to

00:11:04.800 material prosperity over the underlying important structural institutional things that make a great

00:11:11.220 country. We have mortgaged the future of our own citizens and our own citizens' families and our

00:11:17.000 own citizens' well-being to tick the GDP up a little bit and to open up our borders and have

00:11:21.840 this global empire. And it's beginning to bite us. The empire strikes back. That's what we're

00:11:26.100 beginning to see here. This is a really good issue. And as we look ahead to the midterms,

00:11:31.480 We'll get to the RNC in just a second.

00:11:33.320 The polling is horrific for Republicans right now.

00:11:35.720 As we look ahead to the midterms, this is the kind of issue that Republicans really can run on.

00:11:42.480 This is the kind of issue that denied the Democrats the popular vote in 2024 for the first time in 20 years.

00:11:48.120 This is the kind of issue that really irritates ordinary people.

00:11:52.400 A little bit on the left, certainly on the right, and in the center. 1.00

00:11:55.460 you have foreigners, very wealthy foreigners, coming in and stealing from you and your families 1.00

00:12:03.240 and your kids. This is the kind of issue we can run. We can't really run on the Iran war. That's 1.00

00:12:07.320 a tough issue. It's a wedge issue on the right. You're not going to win over any moderate or

00:12:11.400 liberal votes that way. It's hard to run on that. You can't really run on, you can run on some

00:12:16.700 aspects of the economy, but not all aspects of the economy, in part because of the downstream 0.90

00:12:20.420 effects of the Iran war, in part because it's very difficult to totally turn around the horrific

00:12:25.420 economy under Joe Biden. So that's going to be a little tough thing to run on. You can't really

00:12:29.020 run even against the federal government because the Republicans control the federal government

00:12:32.280 now. And we've only had a year and a half thus far, but nevertheless, we're the party in power.

00:12:36.900 That's why the party in power historically loses the midterms. There aren't that many issues we

00:12:41.140 can run on. We can run on some of the social issues because the Democrats won't back down

00:12:46.160 from castrating little kids, won't back down from radical LGBT ideology, won't back down from 0.98

00:12:51.940 killing the babies, whether we're talking about in the womb or outside of the womb in that 0.98

00:12:54.920 Lindsey Clancy case, won't back down from political violence as we now mark today. Today is the day 0.95

00:13:00.080 actually, the anniversary of Charlie Kirk's assassination. I'm going to be out in Utah later

00:13:03.920 for a memorial event for him at the university where he was murdered. So the Democrats, you can

00:13:10.260 still hit them on the social policies. You can still hit them on some of that stuff. The other

00:13:16.080 thing you can hit them on, the big winning issue, is mass migration and the fraud that goes along

00:13:21.080 with it. But we're going to have to hammer that because right now, the GOP is getting

00:13:26.060 pummeled in the polls. We'll get to the latest poll out of Decision Desk HQ. First, I want to

00:13:30.640 tell you about Cowboy Colostrum. Go to cowboycolostrum.com slash Knowles, K-N-A-W-L-E-S.

00:13:35.380 September is when everybody gets back into a routine. The kids go back to school, travel

00:13:38.820 picks up, schedules get busier, and almost immediately, someone in the house starts

00:13:42.760 sniffling, right? Doesn't that always happen? So, right now is a great time to pay a little

00:13:48.640 bit more attention to the habits that help you feel your best. One way to do it is to add cowboy

00:13:53.060 colostrum. Colostrum supports gut health, and cowboy uses true first-day whole bovine colostrum

00:13:58.260 from 100% American grass-fed cows. It's not stripped down. There are no artificial fillers

00:14:03.880 or artificial flavors. You don't want to cut it with fillers. You want the good stuff.

00:14:09.800 I got colostrum pilled by Sweet Little Alisa and Mr. Davies. Sweet Little Alisa knows everything

00:14:15.280 about health and looking good and feeling good. And Mr. Davies, I got to give the guy, he's pretty

00:14:19.500 athletic. He's kind of a gigajad. Cowboy Colostrum makes it super easy. The new cookies and cream

00:14:23.820 flavor tastes great. Coffee, smoothie, milk, whatever you want. Point is, when everyone else's

00:14:30.400 routine starts falling apart, this is one very easy habit to keep. Try that new cookies and

00:14:34.600 cream flavor for yourself. For a limited time, our listeners get up to 25% off their entire order.

00:14:51.240 New poll out. Brutal. The top line takeaway is that right now, of all of the competitive races,

00:15:00.760 we got competitive Senate races in Maine, in Texas, we have competitive races in Ohio, we have,

00:15:08.300 Right now, Iowa is the only competitive state that Trump won in which the GOP is currently

00:15:18.120 leading, this according to Decision Desk HQ.

00:15:22.140 So if you look at Iowa, in 2024, the presidential margin was R plus 13.3.

00:15:29.200 Trump ran away with this in 2024.

00:15:31.940 Right now, the Senate poll average is R plus 1.3.

00:15:37.800 It's an order of magnitude lower.

00:15:40.040 The Republicans are still leading, only by a little bit.

00:15:42.960 But we're leading by an order of magnitude less than we were previously.

00:15:48.280 There's still a 41% chance the Democrats win in Iowa.

00:15:52.440 How about Texas?

00:15:54.300 You got that open Texas Senate seat.

00:15:58.420 Trump won Texas, R plus 13.7 in 2024.

00:16:01.940 Right now, the Democrat is leading.

00:16:04.440 And we'll get to James Tallarico in Texas in just a second.

00:16:06.840 right now there's a 53% chance that Democrats win in Texas. How about John Husted, the Republican

00:16:14.960 running in Ohio? Ohio was 11.2 plus for Republicans in 2024. Right now, Democrats leading, it's D plus

00:16:23.080 5.9, 54% chance Democrats win. On and on down the list, this is really not good. This is really,

00:16:32.920 really bad stuff. So there are two ways to read this, and you're going to see the spin doctors

00:16:36.840 pulling it a couple different ways. The chief way that you're going to see this being spun,

00:16:41.780 and maybe it's fair. I don't know. I'm just telling you these are the two ways to read

00:16:45.880 this information. The main way that you're going to see people interpreting these charts

00:16:50.720 is that Trump's lost his touch. Trump lost the base. Trump lost the MAGA coalition.

00:16:58.040 They're upset about whatever. They're upset about the Iran war. They're upset about

00:17:01.380 some industrial policy. They're in subset, whatever they're upset about.

00:17:05.860 Trump has lost his coalition, and he's no longer popular, and that's why the Republicans are losing

00:17:11.000 right now. I'm not really persuaded by that. I'm not really persuaded by that because

00:17:17.140 the other interpretation of this is that Trump is basically the only popular Republican in the

00:17:24.360 country. And the reason that I, look, I like a lot of other Republicans, including Republicans

00:17:29.580 who are running right now.

00:17:30.540 I'm personal friends

00:17:31.240 with a lot of these Republicans.

00:17:32.520 I'm a Republican for a very long time.

00:17:34.560 I basically came out of the womb

00:17:35.600 with parted hair, smoking a cigar.

00:17:37.780 So I am not knocking the GOP

00:17:40.380 contra to Trump.

00:17:42.720 I'm just observing the phenomenon.

00:17:45.860 Trump galvanizes voters.

00:17:48.140 Trump inspires loyalty.

00:17:49.860 People love him.

00:17:50.800 When Trump said in 2016, 2015,

00:17:52.580 whenever it was, 0.96

00:17:53.140 when he said that he could shoot somebody 0.91

00:17:54.500 on Fifth Avenue in broad daylight

00:17:55.980 and not lose a single one of his supporters,

00:17:57.440 he was probably right.

00:18:00.100 So the other way to read this, which I think is more historically in line with how the party that is in power fares in the first midterm election, is that if Trump's not on the ballot, Republicans are going to drag.

00:18:12.080 Now, I think Trump knows this, which is part of the reason why Trump is holding a historic midterm Republican national convention.

00:18:20.120 We hold national conventions during presidential election years.

00:18:22.500 We don't hold them in the midterms.

00:18:23.840 Right now in Dallas, there's an RNC going on.

00:18:27.100 I was scheduled to go to that RNC, but I'm going to be flying out for the event in Utah.

00:18:31.800 So it's right around the same time.

00:18:33.600 But Trump knows that, I think.

00:18:35.040 So Trump understands that he needs to inject himself into this.

00:18:40.320 Now, there might be lingering discontent over some aspects of the economy, over housing prices,

00:18:45.200 which are largely based on interest rates that the federal government doesn't really have any control over

00:18:49.020 because that's controlled by the Federal Reserve.

00:18:50.740 In any case, on top of the Iran war, on top of all the rest of it.

00:18:54.220 So Trump, I think, is doing his best.

00:18:56.320 J.D. Vance is hitting the campaign trail really, really hard. I think the administration is going

00:18:59.900 out there to try to make this into a national election. But these are really, really worrisome

00:19:06.620 numbers. Now, you could say another glass half full read on this is that August is always the

00:19:11.020 worst month in polling for Republicans in the midterm election because it's still kind of

00:19:15.000 silly season. People haven't really focused in. The polls should narrow. I hope that's true.

00:19:18.300 We're now into September, though. It's not August anymore. We're into September and things are

00:19:23.760 are heating up, those, those gaps should be closing. Republicans should be taking the lead

00:19:28.000 again. It's not looking good. It's really, really not looking good. And you know, I'm not, I'm,

00:19:34.940 I'm trying to call it like it is because the only way to fix the problem is to acknowledge the

00:19:38.580 problem. On top of that, you are seeing Iran messing with us as much as they possibly can. 0.99

00:19:45.940 And you're going to see that increase through the midterm elections. So for, for a while there, 0.96

00:19:49.920 even as the Iran war has dragged on. 0.88

00:19:52.120 One of the amazing accomplishments

00:19:53.940 of the Trump administration,

00:19:55.840 a lot of credit goes to the president,

00:19:57.180 a lot of credit goes to the treasury secretary,

00:19:58.720 Scott Besson.

00:19:59.720 They've managed to keep oil pretty low.

00:20:02.040 Oil's been around, what,

00:20:03.860 Brent crude's been about $75 a barrel.

00:20:06.220 Pretty good, considering that 20%

00:20:07.940 of the world's oil supply is theoretically choked off

00:20:10.060 and we're in a major war in the Middle East. 1.00

00:20:12.720 That's pretty impressive. 0.96

00:20:13.840 A lot of people, a lot of investors

00:20:15.560 who were betting that oil was gonna go through the roof,

00:20:18.220 they've lost a lot of money.

00:20:19.360 because of how well the administration has managed the oil issue.

00:20:22.640 Well, oil is now back above $100 a barrel.

00:20:24.660 President Trump was just asked about this yesterday on the tarmac.

00:20:27.980 Mr. President, you've been saying for weeks that oil and gas prices are going to come down.

00:20:31.940 Oil is now back above $100 a barrel.

00:20:34.640 How do you explain this to Americans who are wondering when prices are going to come down?

00:20:37.540 Well, I think it's very easy to explain to America. 0.68

00:20:39.620 All you have to do is say, will you let Iran have a nuclear weapon?

00:20:43.740 And the answer is no.

00:20:45.340 And they're doing very poorly.

00:20:46.780 Their country is in shambles right now.

00:20:49.360 They are, as you probably have seen, the numbers, 300 percent inflation.

00:20:54.360 Their money is valueless. They're not paying their soldiers.

00:20:57.800 We control the strait and lots of other things.

00:21:01.000 So for a little while, I would say this.

00:21:04.340 Shortly, but right after the election, because they'd like to have it that way,

00:21:08.620 but right after the election, oil prices are going to be tumbling downward.

00:21:13.220 They're going to be tumbling down, and we'll get them down.

00:21:15.480 I think for gasoline, we'll get them below $2 a gallon.

00:21:19.360 but not until after the midterm. I think it's going to take a little bit longer than the midterm.

00:21:23.560 Okay. Really, really fascinating comment from President Trump. It seems like he's just saying,

00:21:29.780 oh, things are going to get better soon. Don't worry. It seems like it's a throwaway comment.

00:21:33.940 I think there's a lot more meaning here because he doesn't say, oh, don't worry,

00:21:38.220 they're going to get better tomorrow. Oh, don't worry. He's not just trying to massage the markets

00:21:42.420 and manipulate the markets such that the price of oil comes down. What he's saying is, no,

00:21:47.140 I think they're going to get better after the midterms. They're going to come tumbling down.

00:21:52.180 Why? Why after the midterms? Well, because there are two dynamics at play here. One is

00:21:56.940 Iran is obviously going to do everything in its power to put the screws to Trump before the

00:22:05.080 midterms. Guys, we're on September 10th right now. This is going to get a lot worse. Iran is going to

00:22:10.900 play a lot more cards before the elections because they have to. They have to. That is 1.00

00:22:16.100 the only rational thing for them to do. They need to bring maximum pain to President Trump.

00:22:20.780 The way to bring maximum pain to President Trump is to mess up his party's chance of

00:22:25.440 keeping the House and the Senate. Because if the Republicans lose the House,

00:22:30.560 which they very likely will, then you're going to get zillions of investigations, subpoenas.

00:22:35.680 You're going to get an attempt to impeach President Trump again.

00:22:38.660 If Republicans lose the Senate, I don't think he would be convicted in an impeachment trial,

00:22:44.260 but you never know for certain. And if the Democrats control the Senate, there's really

00:22:47.440 a chance that Trump gets convicted in the impeachment trial. So they're going to do

00:22:50.800 everything they can. In any case, regardless of what happens, even if the Democrats just take the

00:22:55.140 House, it's going to really impede the rest of President Trump's agenda. So that's what they're

00:22:59.560 going to try to do. Now, what President Trump has to do in his interest is to try to downplay

00:23:04.280 the importance of the Iran war up through the midterms. And he's got to try to massage all

00:23:08.540 of the markets so they don't go totally crazy as Iran keeps pulling shenanigans. And I have to 0.99

00:23:13.100 imagine what's in President Trump's mind is that he's going to bring the hammer down on Iran after

00:23:17.160 the midterm. So when he comes out and says, I think they're going to come tumbling down very

00:23:20.800 shortly after the midterms, I think what he's saying is I don't want to escalate the Iran war 0.99

00:23:24.600 before the midterms because that will create too much chaos and disruption and too much insecurity 0.87

00:23:30.080 for volatility before the election. But afterward, it's game on because I'm not going to have to face

00:23:36.160 another election. Well, Trump personally will not have to face another election, but the Republicans

00:23:39.540 are not going to have to face another real election for two years after that, so it's probably going

00:23:43.200 to be game on. So that is the game that Trump and the Iranians are playing right now, but it's only 1.00

00:23:48.780 going to get worse. It has to get worse before the midterms, and so the Republicans need to figure a 1.00

00:23:53.300 way to pivot off of that. When the war started, it was pitched as a major issue, which is we need

00:24:01.840 to stop Iran's nuclear program, which if you just ask that question, do we need to stop Iran from

00:24:05.980 getting a nuclear weapon. The vast majority of GOP voters would say yes. The vast majority of

00:24:09.680 voters would say yes. So that's how it was pitched. But it was pitched procedurally as

00:24:14.080 just a little digression. It's going to be a quick little thing. We'll get out of there pretty

00:24:17.820 quickly, and it won't have downstream effects. Now, I worried before the war, as the bombs were

00:24:24.280 falling and continued to afterward, that, you know, to quote Machiavelli, wars start at the

00:24:29.540 will of any man, but they don't end at the will of any man. And so things can quickly spiral out

00:24:33.500 of control and they're very difficult to manage and bring to a close. That is what has happened.

00:24:38.720 So it's totally in the Republican interest to just downplay the significance of the Iran war.

00:24:43.940 But you are seeing cascading effects. Yes, in the economy, but even more importantly,

00:24:49.080 in terms of perception. So what does this mean for all of us? There is and remains a

00:24:57.060 right-wing movement happening in the United States. I think the right still has a decent

00:25:01.900 amount of energy to it. And you're seeing that writ large. You're seeing that in the United

00:25:06.940 Kingdom, and you're seeing that throughout Europe. Big win for the right in, not in America, not in

00:25:13.480 the UK, in Germany. And this win for the right is being screamed about by all of the usual suspects

00:25:22.060 as the rise of the far right, the Nazi elements in Europe. We'll see if that's true, because 0.90

00:25:27.000 there's some details in there that make it a little suspect. Then we'll get to Mr. Tallarico's

00:25:32.420 Islamophilia. First, though, I want to tell you about preborn. Go to preborn.com slash Knowles,

00:25:36.980 K-N-O-W-L-E-S. 15 weeks. That's how far along Alba was when she finally saw her baby on an

00:25:41.800 ultrasound. Remarkable part is that Alba had spent years believing this moment was impossible.

00:25:47.320 Doctors had told her she could not become pregnant. Her husband's diagnosis seemed to confirm it.

00:25:51.740 So when the impossible actually happened, Alba wasn't celebrating. She was frightened. She had

00:25:56.340 not planned for this child because she had been told that there could never be a child. Then she

00:26:01.220 walked into a pre-born network clinic. The ultrasound came on. Alba and her husband saw

00:26:05.220 their 15-week-old baby. They heard the heartbeat. Suddenly, this was not an abstract problem to

00:26:09.120 solve. This was their child. I speak from experience. It's very powerful when you see

00:26:12.960 your kid on an ultrasound. Alba chose life. Today, that supposedly impossible baby has a name,

00:26:18.100 Laura. She is healthy. She's thriving. And she's here because at exactly the moment Alba needed

00:26:22.640 hope someone made that ultrasound possible. You can do that for another mother. Just $28

00:26:26.840 helps provide one life-saving ultrasound. $140 helps rescue five babies. I personally support

00:26:32.240 this organization. I encourage you to give what you can. Dial pound 250, say keyword baby. B-A-B-Y.

00:26:37.140 That is pound 250, keyword baby. Or go to preborn.com slash Knowles, K-N-A-W-L-E-S. That is

00:26:41.580 preborn.com slash Knowles. If you're a business owner, would you consider a larger donation to

00:26:45.760 claim a write-off? A donation of $1,000, $2,000, $10,000, $15,000. We'll sponsor an ultrasound

00:26:50.620 machine for a needy clinic, helping to save countless babies' lives for years to come.

00:26:54.220 It's all tax deductible and will reach eternity. Get involved today.

00:26:58.980 The Alternative for Deutschland, the Alternative for Germany party, has just won a major parliamentary

00:27:06.740 election. So this is in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt. The far-right, that's how it's

00:27:13.880 always reported, the far-right German AFD party just won a major parliamentary election victory.

00:27:19.220 They basically doubled their results from the last election.

00:27:23.320 I think they won, what, 44% or so of the votes there.

00:27:27.440 Almost had an outright majority in this legislative body, in this German state.

00:27:32.780 This is big news.

00:27:34.540 The liberal Germans and the liberal Europeans are totally mourning.

00:27:38.680 There's a German journalist, a journalist for the weekly paper, Junge Freiheit, who posted a picture.

00:27:45.340 there's not a lot of independent verification, but posted a picture outside of Deutsche Bank's

00:27:49.660 building of pride flags at half mast. So first of all, you say, why are you flying pride flags

00:27:56.280 at all outside of a bank? But second of all, why are you flying them at half mast? Oh, because

00:28:00.160 the far right party just won. But there's a real irony here. And it's a question that we have to

00:28:05.440 grapple with when we consider whether or not Alternative for Deutschland is really the far

00:28:08.700 right, return of the Nazi party. They're flying the gay pride flags at half mast because AFD won.

00:28:15.940 The head of AFD is a lesbian. I don't know if you follow international politics that closely, 1.00

00:28:22.860 but you heard me correctly. The liberals in Europe are gnashing their teeth and rending

00:28:28.880 their garments because the far right wing AFD party has won. And this is the end of gay rights. 0.70

00:28:35.520 And the head of the far right party is a lesbian. Furthermore, she's not just a lesbian. 0.98

00:28:43.840 Even more shocking, she's a libertarian. And the libertarian, I'm not a libertarian. 0.78

00:28:50.400 I love my libertarian friends. The libertarians have played an important role in the American

00:28:55.320 right. But libertarians are not far right. Libertarianism is a species of liberalism.

00:29:02.460 it's the kind of liberalism that says that we need to just remain individuals and have nobody

00:29:08.860 bother us. We need to maximize individual autonomy and keep all of our money and stop

00:29:13.780 being bothered by people. The progressive form of liberalism says, same basic premise about human

00:29:19.140 nature, says we're just individuals. Forget about family. Forget about all these other structures,

00:29:24.120 all these unchosen loyalties and commitments that we have. We are individuals. Politics is

00:29:28.620 chiefly a matter of protecting individual rights and growing individual autonomy. But rather than

00:29:33.160 focusing that on keeping our money, we're going to focus that on doing a bunch of weird sex stuff.

00:29:37.020 That's how the left-wing version of liberalism proceeds, unlike the right-wing version of 0.50

00:29:41.700 liberalism, which says, let me just keep all of my money. And then various forms of the left-wing

00:29:45.900 version of liberalism say, okay, we're broken down. We're individuals. We're not mediated by

00:29:50.020 different institutions, such as the family and civic associations and all that. So now that we're

00:29:53.820 all individuals, we're going to bundle ourselves up into a collective, which is where you get

00:29:57.240 different statist forms of ideology like fascism or communism, socialism, Nazism for that matter. 0.72

00:30:05.160 So in any case, it's a hard sell that this is a death knell for homosexuals or whatever in Europe 0.95

00:30:13.840 when the far right party is run by a lesbian libertarian. Also though, we just have to stop 0.94

00:30:20.360 calling the AFD the far right party. Libertarians are not far right. Lesbians are certainly not far

00:30:25.880 right. And however you want to look at it, the AFD is the right in Germany. It just is. 0.99

00:30:34.340 Fringe parties don't win 44% of the votes. Okay. It just, that is the right. It would be like in

00:30:41.980 America calling MAGA the far right. It can't, MAGA can't be the far right when it has been

00:30:49.160 the right for a dozen years and when it won the popular vote, practically speaking in 2024.

00:30:54.620 You can't, you wouldn't call that the far right.

00:30:56.260 You would say that's the far right and the center right and the center and even like

00:31:01.100 a little sliver of the left because they took the popular vote away from the Democrats.

00:31:07.220 That just is the right.

00:31:08.680 That's where we are.

00:31:10.300 And it's done very well.

00:31:11.880 So there is still this bubbling discontent throughout the West, not just the US, but

00:31:16.280 the UK and continental Europe as well.

00:31:18.380 But the discontent is really coming down to the sense that we're losing our national

00:31:23.820 identity. We're losing our sovereignty. We're losing our traditions. We're losing, in other

00:31:27.920 words, our way of life. That's why the immigration issue is so important here. That's why the social 0.99

00:31:33.580 issues are so important here. There is a relation between those two things. The idea that some

00:31:38.160 teacher is going to show your kid gay porn in kindergarten and the fact that a bunch of Muslims 1.00

00:31:43.180 in Europe and other people, including Muslims in America, are flooding into this country, 0.99

00:31:46.900 they're related issues because they all come down to the sense of losing our identity, 1.00

00:31:50.460 our community and our way of life this is why to tie it back to an issue we were talking about

00:31:55.580 earlier in the week this is why when the trump administration comes out and says according to

00:32:02.100 the new york times we're going to reform this welfare program to incentivize uh married stay

00:32:07.580 at home mothers in addition to the program already incentivizing single parents and subsidizing

00:32:14.160 corporate daycare when when the trump administration comes out and says there's an existing program 1.00

00:32:18.140 that's going to just change the incentives

00:32:20.120 of the already existing program,

00:32:21.500 not going to add a single penny to federal spending,

00:32:23.360 but we're going to change the incentives a little bit

00:32:25.340 to protect a more traditional way of life,

00:32:27.920 to encourage a more traditional way of life.

00:32:29.640 That is why I know that the ideologues,

00:32:32.180 the libertarians, certain strains of neoconservative,

00:32:34.860 I know that they start to freak out here.

00:32:36.940 And they say, no, this violates my understanding

00:32:39.680 of 20th century libertarianism,

00:32:42.460 which I've retconned onto the American founding and whatever.

00:32:44.720 You know, they get really abstract in their ideology,

00:32:47.540 that is not what is motivating people right now, nor should it. I don't think that's what

00:32:51.660 conservatism is about. I don't think that's what the American project and the American

00:32:55.540 revolution is about. I think that the idea that the American revolution was this largely

00:33:00.240 ideological endeavor, that conservatism is this ideological movement. I think that is a retconning.

00:33:04.900 I think it's totally wrong. I think that is shown to be false by history and by the great

00:33:11.260 thinkers in conservative philosophy. But regardless, that ain't motivating people.

00:33:16.740 Okay? And one of the big failings of the left, part of the reason they lost some of their mojo

00:33:21.480 is because they got too abstract. They lost the common sense. This is a phenomenon that even the

00:33:26.780 great leftist thinker Antonio Gramsci figured out. He said, you can't have a successful political

00:33:31.820 revolution if you lose the common sense. You have to talk to people's real wants, their real desires.

00:33:36.600 The left would say, who cares if it works in practice? Does it work in theory?

00:33:39.600 We cannot make the same mistake. We need to show to voters that we are going to make their real

00:33:47.220 lives materially better. And you can't separate really the material from the spiritual in the

00:33:53.580 sense that you can't separate the physical from the metaphysical. We need to reassure voters that

00:33:58.480 we are going to protect their way of life and their communities and their traditions and their

00:34:03.600 homes. That's what we, that's something we can offer to voters that the left cannot because the

00:34:09.340 left wants to destroy all of those things explicitly. That's something we can offer to

00:34:12.900 voters. We're not going to sell them democracy in Iran. We're not going to sell them even grand

00:34:20.880 strategy, American geopolitical grand strategy. It's important to do grand strategy, but you're

00:34:26.020 not going to sell that to voters. You have to convince them that you are going to protect their

00:34:30.040 way of life. I think the Trump administration has done a good job of helping out the American way

00:34:34.180 of life. A whole lot of fronts closed the border, deported, what was it, like 2 million plus

00:34:38.240 people. We've now got the foreign-born percentage of the population going in the opposite direction.

00:34:43.700 We're prosecuting people for discriminating based on leftist racial theories. We're forcing 0.90

00:34:49.760 hospitals that trans the kids to spend millions of dollars opening clinics for detransitioners, 1.00

00:34:56.140 shut down those projects, or overturned a revue way. There's a lot of good stuff. 0.99

00:34:59.480 But that's where the focus has to be. It cannot be on ideology. It has to be on something tangible.

00:35:05.660 That is what is motivating the right throughout the entire West.

00:35:09.580 Meanwhile, you have left-wing politicians here who are completely upending our way of life 0.77

00:35:16.640 and who are, in fact, embracing Islam. 0.94

00:35:19.380 The silver lining for the Republicans looking at terrible poll numbers right now

00:35:23.460 is that the Democrats are just doing such unpopular things.

00:35:28.900 The candidate quality is just so bad.

00:35:32.180 James Tallarico doubling down on his Islamophilia in the lead up to the midterms.

00:35:38.240 I'm always so thrilled when I get invited to the Diwali Festival.

00:35:43.700 I think I've gone two years in a row now and also have gotten a chance to speak at some of our local mosques.

00:35:50.900 And I find such wisdom and comfort and inspiration from faith traditions all over the world.

00:35:57.460 And I find that they're all kind of equal pathways to truth.

00:36:02.180 You know, that's how I think, you know, I always think of all of the world's faith traditions as like a circle with, you know, that divine mystery of the universe in the middle.

00:36:10.640 And we all have different names for that mystery, right?

00:36:14.000 Whether it's God or Yahweh or Allah or Jesus, Nirvana, the Great Spirit, whatever you call it.

00:36:21.020 This is all, you know, different pathways to the same kind of fundamental terms of reality.

00:36:26.900 So yeah, it's, it's something I, I, I'm, it's, it's, it's how I, um, how I try to stay grounded

00:36:33.260 and stay rooted. Whoa. That's, I try to stay grounded by saying that all religions are exactly

00:36:37.900 the same and nothing, differences don't matter. And you know, it's all whatever man passed the

00:36:42.240 bong. This is crazy because it almost sounds like something that if you squint can kind of make

00:36:48.660 sense. James Tallarico has already said he's learned more about his faith from Islam than he

00:36:53.480 has from Christians. That was the big red flag. It was one of the big red flags. But here, notice, 0.63

00:36:59.980 had he said that he has learned a lot from different faith traditions, that would be one

00:37:04.920 thing. I would say that. I would say I spent time in Varanasi, India. I think it's the oldest

00:37:10.100 continually inhabited city in the world. Super duper Hindu, like crazy, wild, spiritual stuff 1.00

00:37:17.900 going on in Varanasi, very contrary to my religious views. And I have learned things. 1.00

00:37:23.480 about religion. I have learned things from that experience. I haven't converted to Hinduism,

00:37:30.020 but that experience has actually taught me something. I've traveled around in Muslim

00:37:33.140 countries. That has taught me something about religion. I can learn things from other faith

00:37:37.480 traditions, certainly. And I can appreciate different aspects, actually. If he had said

00:37:41.960 that all kinds of religions are in some ways a kind of a path to some aspects of divine truth,

00:37:49.220 I could even probably get behind that. Yeah, I think that's true. I think there is certain truth

00:37:56.780 to natural paganism. And there are certain truths that Islam kind of touches on. 0.78

00:38:03.520 There's certainly plenty of truths that Judaism touches on. Judaism being closer to Christianity

00:38:11.040 than, say, Islam, which is an offshoot of Christian heresy. But even Islam, and then 0.97

00:38:17.140 let's go further. Let's go beyond the monotheistic views of religion, even Hinduism or something like 0.52

00:38:22.140 that, or Buddhism maybe. But you can start, okay, I can learn. That's not what he said.

00:38:27.620 He said all religions are an equal pathway to God. What? That is a complete repudiation of

00:38:38.220 Christianity. Because Christianity says, in the words of Christ, I am the way and the truth and

00:38:43.340 life. No one gets to the Father except through me. Christianity is an exclusive religion. It

00:38:49.320 makes exclusive claims. You cannot simultaneously believe in Christianity and believe that all 1.00

00:38:56.580 religions are an equal pathway to God. That is not possible. If you believe the latter, 0.98

00:39:02.460 you do not believe the former. That is extreme stuff. He says, yeah, we have all these different

00:39:10.760 names for God. Notice the one name he doesn't mention. Some would call him God or the great

00:39:15.640 spirit or Nirvana. What? Notice the one name he doesn't, he doesn't mention Jesus, but he's

00:39:21.400 reputedly Christian. This is pretty dark, man. Because it means, it's not that he's running a 1.00

00:39:28.860 campaign for everyone. It's not that he's running a campaign that embraces all religions. He's

00:39:33.060 running a campaign that embraces all religions except Christianity. It's an antichrist campaign. 0.96

00:39:39.180 There's no other way to put it.

00:39:40.160 I don't think I'm being hyperbolic at all.

00:39:41.340 I'm just hearing his own words.

00:39:43.360 And let me give you,

00:39:44.640 this is kind of a little bit of a doomer show today.

00:39:46.580 I don't, maybe there'll be some hope at the end.

00:39:49.360 It gets even darker politically

00:39:51.460 because that might be electorally viable.

00:39:57.260 Isn't that totally nuts?

00:39:58.180 Could you imagine 10, 15 years ago,

00:39:59.760 you told someone that a guy is going to run

00:40:01.640 for Senate in Texas on God is non-binary,

00:40:04.800 on all religions are equal pathways to God,

00:40:10.280 on promoting abortion in the name of the Blessed Virgin Mary. 0.85

00:40:13.560 Can you even imagine such a thing?

00:40:14.980 That that guy is going to be running for Senate in Texas

00:40:17.400 and he's going to be winning.

00:40:19.740 You could not have possibly imagined that.

00:40:22.620 But there have been changes, not just changes to ideology.

00:40:26.440 There have been major demographic changes in Texas. 0.99

00:40:29.240 Why is this guy sucking up the Muslims? 0.98

00:40:30.960 Because the number of Muslims in Texas has doubled. 0.98

00:40:33.580 the percentage of Muslims in Texas, has doubled in about 10 years. 1.00

00:40:37.660 Shows no signs of slowing down. 0.99

00:40:39.360 And by the way, the Muslims have kids, unlike the Westerners and many of the Christians. 1.00

00:40:46.800 That's the issue.

00:40:48.840 It's actually even scarier that he's got this sort of vile heresy that he's promoting.

00:40:54.160 But it gets even scarier because you think that might be viable, if not this year, soon enough, 0.70

00:40:59.260 if we don't get serious about deportations and closing off the border and assimilation

00:41:05.680 and a sense of national identity and sovereignty, if we don't do that, that might be electorally

00:41:11.760 viable. Are you noticing your car insurance rate creep up even without tickets or claims?

00:42:37.920 speaking of the muslims it's not just people on the left who are apparently turning to islam

00:42:42.540 it's right-wing figures too, including Milo Yiannopoulos. Milo, who is one of the real stars

00:42:49.640 of the internet right and one of the big figures who came out of the early Trump era and the early

00:42:55.440 MAGA era. Milo has since turned on Trump and he says he hates the Trump administration. And then

00:43:01.180 it turned out he was apparently an illegal alien in America because he's British, but he's an

00:43:06.400 illegal alien in America. And so he got deported, recently got deported. He's back in the UK. He's

00:43:11.360 not in the UK for five minutes before he starts posting quotes from the Quran and a picture of

00:43:15.860 himself dressed like a Muslim in a mosque. To which I have to say, when in Rome, do as the 0.97

00:43:21.420 Romans do. He assimilated to that British culture very, very quickly. We'll get to what

00:43:28.040 is underneath the Milo Muslim turn. First though, my favorite comment yesterday 0.70

00:43:33.440 is from the drummer's workshop, Norm's Music. He always has some of the very best comments.

00:43:39.020 We can't pick him every single day. He writes, it was nice that the women of The View served on

00:43:43.040 the jury. Yes. Is it better? Is it better that we could take the women who are on The View and take

00:43:48.440 them off of television and put them on juries? I don't know. Would that be better for the country? 0.99

00:43:53.980 Well, it doesn't matter because it's all the same now, I guess. Joy Behar deciding the fate of

00:43:59.560 criminals and the establishment of justice. Milo appears to have gone Muslim. He posted this 0.84

00:44:04.960 picture of himself wearing a skull cap sunglasses in a mosque sitting down and it's the prophet

00:44:11.440 and which then it's got some muslim thing maybe like peace be upon him said that's got some 0.91

00:44:16.300 arabic in the kind of you know sword script it says the best of you in the time of ignorance

00:44:20.900 jahiliya are the best of you in islam if they gain understanding this is apparently from

00:44:26.820 Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim. Okay. Look, look, I hope Milo's not really becoming a Muslim. And

00:44:38.380 I know everybody's dunking on Milo now and he's taking a kind of weird political turn and he

00:44:41.920 turned on Trump and all this stuff. However, it seems to me you've got to appreciate the Oscar

00:44:50.220 wildness of Milo's character. Even if you personally hate Milo, I don't know, some people

00:44:54.820 get more of a kick out of Milo than others. But the man is this Oscar Wilde character. He lived

00:45:00.640 this flamboyantly, ostentatiously homosexual lifestyle, but then he seemed to have a religious

00:45:05.640 conversion to Catholicism that a lot of people now are saying was not legitimate or is false or 0.65

00:45:10.860 whatever. But I don't know. I had good reason to believe he was sincere about a lot of that.

00:45:15.460 But in any case, then he gets deported, and now he's taking all these pictures in a mosque. And I

00:45:19.120 I think, of course, Milo is one of the great internet stars. He just understands the new

00:45:25.000 media very, very well, better than most people. And so if I'm viewing this as just the next season

00:45:29.980 of the Milo show, it's pretty funny, man. I don't know. It's pretty, I hope it's spiritually very

00:45:37.000 dangerous because if, if he is sincere in converting to Islam, that, that would be very 1.00

00:45:42.080 bad and we should pray for him and he should not do that. If he's just kind of trolling as he is 1.00

00:45:46.700 want to do now and then. It's really funny, though it is spiritually dangerous. You know,

00:45:51.120 you don't want to be making too many jokes about God and the devil and angels and demons and stuff.

00:45:58.500 You know, you don't want to play around with that stuff. But just as a pure entertainment thing,

00:46:04.080 this guy gets deported, like five seconds later, he's got a new character arc out that is pretty

00:46:09.720 entertaining. It only further entrenches the Oscar wildness of his character. So I hope all

00:46:17.300 the best for Milo. I hope, you know, it doesn't, okay, we've had our fun, you know, let's not

00:46:22.260 stray into false religion. But there is something funny about the turn. Okay. Also, before we go,

00:46:31.400 Lindsay Clancy's lawyer. Lindsay Clancy's lawyer is, you want to talk about reality TV stars,

00:46:35.720 This guy can't get enough of the airtime.

00:46:38.000 Lindsey Clancy's lawyer has just come out.

00:46:40.080 He's still swinging.

00:46:41.220 He asked President Trump for a pardon for Lindsey Clancy,

00:46:43.480 which Trump can't give because Lindsey Clancy faces state charges, not federal charges.

00:46:47.000 I hope the lawyer knows that.

00:46:48.140 Now he's coming out.

00:46:49.140 He's saying that the people who criticize Lindsey Clancy,

00:46:53.800 the people who think that she should be found guilty for viciously murdering her three children,

00:46:58.880 that actually it's the comments of those critics that are really evil.

00:47:05.620 Does she talk about Cora and Dawson and Callan?

00:47:08.500 All the time, as Dr. Zizel said,

00:47:11.180 she has bad days and she has worse days.

00:47:14.160 What did she say about the kids? 0.99

00:47:16.220 I want my babies.

00:47:19.300 I want my babies, constantly.

00:47:22.600 Because that was not the Lindsay

00:47:27.340 that is now living amongst us.

00:47:31.000 The woman who's living amongst us

00:47:32.560 is the person who was the labor and delivery nurse

00:47:35.640 for eight years that everybody loved.

00:47:38.160 Neighbors, friends, cops, firefighters, teachers,

00:47:42.540 everybody loved her.

00:47:44.380 She was an incredible person, amazing mother.

00:47:47.760 And I know that I'll get all the trolls will say,

00:47:49.800 oh yeah, she's an amazing mother 0.93

00:47:51.000 and make all sorts of evil comments about.

00:47:53.680 The point is, she was and is a wonderful person.

00:47:57.560 The person that committed this atrocious act

00:48:01.480 was as a result of postpartum psychosis combined with the medications that she was provided.

00:48:08.980 Now, people, some of you, some of you listening right now,

00:48:11.760 you might be tempted to make those evil comments

00:48:14.160 to suggest that Lindsay Clancy should face consequences for murdering her three kids. 0.99

00:48:20.060 You evil people.

00:48:22.460 That's the real, you know, in the whole Lindsay Clancy saga,

00:48:25.840 that's the real evil in all of it, wouldn't you say? 0.99

00:48:28.120 The comments that you're making about how it's wrong to kill your kids. 0.74

00:48:31.480 it's a norm bit. I don't know. It's a Norm McDonald bit. I can't, I'm not going to, 0.96

00:48:36.440 I guess I'll do, you know, well, you know what I actually, I think the evil is actually it's not,

00:48:40.860 I don't think that the most evil part is the comments on Twitter. I think it is the murdering

00:48:45.560 your children. That would be, you can imagine he would have done it better, obviously, but that's 0.99

00:48:49.880 yeah, I think this lawyer is good. I mean, it's his job to do this. And what he is doing now is

00:48:56.540 demonstrating when he asked for the pardon, for instance, he's either demonstrating extreme

00:48:59.900 ignorance, like disqualifying should be disbarred level ignorance of the law, or more likely, I

00:49:05.820 think, he's just being deceitful. And he's trying to create a media firestorm. And he's trying to

00:49:09.540 gin up even more public sympathy from lunatic women to support Lindsay Clancy who murdered her 0.98

00:49:15.200 kids. But in all of this, we can dunk on Lindsay Clancy all day and hope for justice and dunk on 0.93

00:49:21.860 the lawyer. But he said something very, very interesting that I think is widespread. As

00:49:26.000 widespread of spiritual confusion as what James Tallarico said. You know, all religions are 0.99

00:49:30.640 equal paths to God. It's just not possible because contradictory claims cannot simultaneously be true.

00:49:37.060 What he says there is the person who is sitting with us today is not the person who murdered her

00:49:44.660 kids. It's a different person. And therefore, you can't hold this person today accountable

00:49:49.980 for the terrible things that that other person who looks and sounds like Lindsay Clancy and

00:49:54.340 who's also named Lindsay Clancy, did. But that's not how people work. That's not actually how

00:50:00.780 people work. First of all, he claims that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis. There's not

00:50:05.520 really evidence of that. She was never diagnosed with postpartum depression. She wasn't on all of

00:50:10.200 the drugs that people say that she was on at the time. She clearly planned out the murders for a 0.93

00:50:13.940 long time. She says she heard a voice. It was the only time she ever heard a voice. She methodically

00:50:18.700 sent her husband out of the home. I don't buy it. I don't buy it for a second. But furthermore,

00:50:24.340 her. She is that person. You are the same person that you were when you committed your worst action

00:50:32.540 that you ever did. I hope you didn't murder your kids, but we've all done really bad things. 0.94

00:50:36.980 You are that person. Now, there is a truth of religion that comes to us specifically from 0.72

00:50:44.540 Christianity, which is that you are made into a new creation. The old man of sin dies, and you

00:50:50.600 are reborn in the baptismal waters and you become a new creation. That is true. That is a spiritual

00:50:56.580 truth that pertains to your eternal salvation wrought for you and won for you by Christ.

00:51:01.980 That does not therefore negate the temporal consequences of your actions. It does not

00:51:08.160 negate the physical reality of your body. It does not negate time in history. You don't just get off

00:51:14.800 the hook for it. This is indeed, I mean, in the ancient Christian practice of confession,

00:51:20.380 you receive eternal forgiveness from God for your sins. From eternity into time, you are forgiven.

00:51:28.060 But you still have to do penance, and you still have, you receive graces, but you still have those

00:51:34.180 inclinations to sin that you have to work out, because nothing imperfect enters into heaven.

00:51:38.800 It's that dual understanding. You can't just take one part of that out of context from the other.

00:51:42.940 she did it she really did kill her kids and that's why we feel that she deserves consequences but we

00:51:50.420 don't do it you know in a really colloquial way we we sometimes say you know we judge other people

00:51:55.460 by their actions but we judge ourselves by our intentions we judge other people by their worst

00:52:01.500 moments we judge ourselves by our best aspirations for how we could behave and that's true there all

00:52:05.580 of that is at play that's true but this is a widespread spiritual confusion the idea that i'm

00:52:10.700 not the person who did the bad things. The idea that I'm not the same as my own body. That was

00:52:16.040 the transgender ideology. But it's not true. That's a false anthropology. And what he's doing

00:52:19.980 is so insidious because he's playing on these false spiritual intuitions that people have,

00:52:25.960 these false spiritual ideologies. It's so manipulative. And it might get her off the

00:52:31.740 hook. We'll find out. Okay. There's no member on that chipper note. There's no member block today

00:52:35.020 because I got to fly to Utah. So I assume TPUSA is going to be broadcasting this memorial from

00:52:40.120 the Utah Valley campus.

00:52:42.780 So you can tune into that on TPUSA.

00:52:44.960 I will be back, though.

00:52:45.960 I'll be flying back for late tonight.

00:52:47.180 And I will be back in the studio tomorrow.

00:52:48.900 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:52:49.420 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:52:50.280 See you then.

00:53:01.780 Every significant movement in history

00:53:03.380 has started with protesting. 1.00

00:53:04.500 You're a traitor! 1.00

00:53:05.280 Uncle Tom! 1.00

00:53:06.040 This is our generation's civil rights.

00:53:07.780 I have no idea what the protest is about.

00:53:09.760 Bingo!

00:53:10.120 Given the current climate,

00:53:11.620 we should have figured as polarizing as Clay Saunders

00:53:14.420 could even be allowed on Kansas City.

00:53:15.620 Ah, can you hear me okay?

00:53:16.620 Saunders is a close personal friend of Chancellor Friedman.

00:53:19.120 This is a decision I cannot find. 1.00

00:53:20.920 Islam will conquer the West. 1.00

00:53:23.620 As-salamu alaykum. 1.00

00:53:27.120 Are we paying attention? 1.00

00:53:29.620 They've taken over the building.

00:53:30.620 They're downstairs and they've blocked the doors.

00:53:34.120 I seek forgiveness from Allah the Almighty.

00:53:37.120 We cannot run and hide.

00:53:40.120 Mohammed is the messenger of God.

00:53:43.120 There is no God but Allah. 0.99

00:53:46.120 What do you say? 1.00

00:53:47.120 We turn those SOBs into a fine red mist. 0.99

00:53:52.120 As we move, one man will cover while the other guys go. 1.00

00:53:56.120 They call that leap project.

00:53:57.120 Stretch your mouth and listen.
