00:00:33.820 executive time tonight as President Trump delivers the state of the union, which some conservatives

00:00:39.300 despise, but I've come to really enjoy. We will analyze. Then Andy Millennial stops by to give

00:00:44.640 his perspective on the state of the nation, you know, as a millennial, as well as to discuss

00:00:49.480 Ariana Grande's botched Japanese tattoo. I'm Michael Knowles and this is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:00:56.120 Tonight is the state of the union, the night that libertarians despise and I sort of enjoy,

00:01:07.060 especially when Donald Trump is the one giving it. We'll get to that in a second. We'll get to why

00:01:10.220 some people on the right don't like the state of the union, but first, let's make a little money,

00:01:14.760 honey, with select quote. Oh, select quote is so good. Listen, if you have a family who depends on you,

00:02:30.920 Your premium could vary depending on your health, issuing company, and other factors.

00:02:33.720 Not available in all states. Probably my quote would not be great today because my health is not

00:02:39.920 sounding too good, but it's all right because later on we're going to be watching the State of the

00:02:43.480 Union and smoking stogies for three hours. That'll probably help my cough and my little health.

00:02:48.380 The State of the Union is a terrific experience. I have to break with some of my fellow right-wingers

00:02:55.940 and conservatives here. I really enjoy it. So some conservatives hate it. It's basically

00:03:02.380 libertarians who hate it because they feel it's too monarchical. It's too grandiose. You know,

00:03:07.800 they just want the government to leave them alone, basically disappear. They view the president

00:03:12.720 is no different from any other government office, and so they just want to ignore it. And, you know,

00:03:19.100 Antonin Scalia felt this way too. Antonin Scalia, the late great justice, refused to go. He thought

00:03:23.700 it was such a ridiculous parade. So plenty of conservatives don't like it, or at least 0.96

00:03:27.720 libertarians. I think conservatives have a good deal of reason to enjoy it though. For one,

00:03:34.380 it fulfills a requirement of the Constitution. Constitution Article 2, Section 3 says, quote,

00:03:40.280 the president shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the State of the Union

00:03:45.180 and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient. He may

00:03:51.400 on extraordinary occasions convene both houses or either of them, and in case of disagreement between

00:03:56.040 them with respect to the time of adjournment, he may adjourn them to such time as he shall think

00:03:59.460 proper. He shall receive ambassadors and other public ministers. He shall take care that the laws

00:04:03.280 he faithfully executed and shall commission all the officers of the United States. So that's the whole

00:04:08.180 block that we get the State of the Union from. And really, we only get it from that first little

00:04:12.340 line up there. I think there's a modern misconception, especially on the right, that the State of the

00:04:19.060 Union is some wholly modern invention. It was just invented by Woodrow Wilson. And that isn't true.

00:04:24.000 George Washington delivered the first State of the Union address before the White House existed.

00:04:29.060 He delivered one, and then Jefferson discontinued the practice. So the third president

00:04:33.740 discontinued it. And it's because Jefferson was a Democrat, lowercase d. He felt it was too

00:04:39.260 monarchical. He was an anti-federalist, which then led to the Jeffersonian Democrats. He thought

00:04:46.740 it was dreadful. And I think his reasoning was not so great, but we'll get to that in a second.

00:04:52.420 Then, for a very long time, for over 100 years, no one did it until Woodrow Wilson. So you've got

00:05:00.520 Jefferson good, then, or I'm sorry, George Washington gives it. That's good. Jefferson

00:05:06.200 doesn't give it. That's probably a mark in favor of the State of the Union. And then Woodrow Wilson

00:05:10.840 gives it. So that's a mark against the State of the Union. Woodrow Wilson, one of the worst presidents

00:05:14.940 in American history. But then Warren Harding, a highly underrated president, was the first president

00:05:20.440 to broadcast it on radio. So he gives it, good old Republican, limited broadcast, but nevertheless.

00:05:26.320 Then Calvin Coolidge, it's harder to find any more small government conservative than Calvin

00:05:31.800 Coolidge, Silent Cal. He gave it, and he actually was the first to broadcast the State of the Union

00:05:36.140 to the entire nation. I think he's also the only president to actually shrink the government.

00:05:41.580 So I think small government conservatives can take a little solace there. Coolidge broadcast it

00:05:46.140 from coast to coast. And then President Ronald Reagan was the first ever to delay

00:05:50.380 the State of the Union speech. So President Trump, again, following in good stead by delaying the

00:05:55.900 speech for the government shutdown. President Trump obviously has fallen, followed in President

00:06:02.340 Reagan's steps a lot of the time. The reason that the State of the Union, I think, is not only tolerable,

00:06:07.780 but actually somewhat important, is that the executive is not just the DMV. The executive is not

00:06:14.060 just the post office or the IRS. The executive is, the president in particular, as the head of the

00:06:20.920 executive branch, is representing the spirited part of government. So our framers were very brilliant

00:06:26.580 when they set up the government. This brilliant system of checks and balances, complex system

00:06:31.640 that allows a balance of power between the people and the states and the federal government,

00:06:36.960 between the judiciary and the executive and the legislature. And all of those parts of the

00:06:41.580 government reflect different aspects of human nature. They reflect the tripartite soul,

00:06:46.840 the ethos, the pathos, and the logos. The appetite, the pathos, the spirited part, the ethos, and the

00:06:53.820 logos, which is the reasonable part. And you see that reflected in the pathos. The appetite is the

00:06:58.580 Congress. It's the people who are most directly answerable to the appetites of the people and

00:07:03.540 formerly the appetites of the states. Then you have the judiciary, which is the logos. They sit in

00:07:09.480 their robes. They all went to the best law schools in the country. They're very straight-faced, except for

00:07:15.160 when they like beer and they still like beer. They don't respond to anything at the state of the

00:07:19.900 union. They're very judicious. And then you have the president, which is the spirited part of the

00:07:26.160 government. He's the one who embodies the spirit of the country. And you look to him as one single

00:07:31.680 representative. And so it seems to me to make perfect sense to have that representative of the

00:07:37.040 spirited part of the country show a little spirit. He's not just a bureaucrat. He's not just some technocrat

00:07:42.440 sitting there filling out economic tables. He's representing something a little more passionate and a

00:07:48.360 little bit more romantic in the government. The state of the union is criticized by people who lean more

00:07:54.760 democratic, lowercase d, in their views. And we should remember the founders and the framers were terrified of

00:08:01.040 democracy. Rightly so. And they were terrified of the tyranny of the majority. And also what they were

00:08:06.960 terrified of was leveling. The idea that in egalitarianism, when everybody is just exactly the

00:08:13.200 same, that levels everybody down. People who are more impressive, people who are more virtuous,

00:08:19.240 people who have more spirit. You can't level people up. That's not possible. The only way,

00:08:24.440 if you want everyone to be exactly equal, is you have to cut down the tall trees. You have to level

00:08:29.160 people down. And that is necessarily so. This is what Edmund Burke, the founder of modern conservative

00:08:36.020 thought, saw happening in the French Revolution. He wrote this in the famous tract, Reflections on

00:08:41.240 the Revolution in France. It seems to me, despite this silly democratic tendency, we should have

00:08:46.800 something to look up to. We should have something dignified. And the state of the union, imperfect as it

00:08:52.700 is, is a vessel of that dignity. The state of the union, and really just the state of the union as a

00:08:57.680 representative of the executive dealing with the legislature, it dignifies the people who hold

00:09:04.600 that office. President Trump, in some ways, does demonstrate dignity. In other ways, not so much

00:09:09.900 dignity. But the office can raise you up to that. You can improve over time. Bill Clinton is a good

00:09:15.620 example of this. Even Lyndon Johnson was able to, and he was a depraved degenerate, but he was able to

00:09:24.100 rise on occasion to a bit of dignity. And for all of us who are the people of this country,

00:09:32.840 it's good to look up to that. We are not simply automatons. We're not, I mean, this is the mistake

00:09:39.040 of libertarianism or egalitarianism or lowercase d democratic politics, taken to their extreme.

00:09:46.240 They just level everybody. They make us into little robots, consumers. There's nothing really

00:09:51.160 metaphysical. There's nothing really noble. There's not a sense of purpose or virtue. It's just a little

00:09:57.320 leveling in plain. I think it was Canning who said, all simple forms of government are bad. And I think

00:10:04.020 that's just about right. And our form of government is not simple. It's not simple at all. It's about as

00:10:08.760 complicated as it can be. It evolves. It grows through evolution, not revolution. And this example

00:10:15.580 that the executive does something a little different than the legislature, and he has an occasion to come

00:10:21.120 in and speak to the legislature. And a lot of the time, the legislature goes and fights back and

00:10:26.680 thwarts his plans. We're going to see a lot of that for the next year as Nancy Pelosi is running the 1.00

00:10:31.380 House of Representatives. I think that is just perfectly fine. And speaking of the executive

00:10:36.200 part of government, the spirited part, there is a bombshell report out that President Trump

00:10:41.620 spends his day in executive time. That's his phrase. The presidential private schedule leaked.

00:10:49.040 We don't know who leaked it. And the left is having a field day. Here's Nicole Wallace on MSNBC.

00:10:54.080 If he were your teenager, you'd call your mom friends for advice about how to get him up and out of his

00:10:58.740 bedroom in the morning, away from the television, off social media, and phone calls with his friends.

00:11:04.160 We start with that bombshell report in Axios, a White House source turning over dozens of Trump's

00:11:09.540 private schedules filled with hundreds of hours of executive time over just a few months. The leak,

00:11:15.700 either the greatest act of insubordination in modern political history or the bravest act of a White 0.99

00:11:21.140 House whistleblower. Either way, the truth bomb has been detonated. Donald Trump doesn't do much of

00:11:26.820 anything as president. The schedules, which cover nearly every working day since the midterms,

00:11:32.080 show that Trump has spent around 60 percent of his scheduled time over the last three months in

00:11:37.440 unstructured executive time.

00:11:39.920 So what she's saying is some of the best news for the left. President Trump doesn't do much of

00:11:46.260 anything as president. You can celebrate. He's not Hitler. He's not going to invade the Rhineland or

00:11:51.540 take over Poland. Oh, great. He doesn't do anything. Because what they are saying is that President Trump

00:11:56.620 is just spending 60 percent of his day lying around watching Fox News. Actually, that's some

00:12:02.340 of the most productive time he spends. We'll get to that in a second. But first, let's make money,

00:12:06.020 honey, with Candid Co. Have you ever had a problem with your teeth that you always wanted to get

00:13:18.660 slash cofefe. So executive time, 60 percent. Apparently Trump only spends 15 percent of his

00:13:25.760 day in meetings. And the left says this is just dreadful. Now, the Heritage Foundation pointed out

00:13:31.160 that President Trump has installed a conservative agenda, specifically the Heritage Conservative

00:13:36.780 Agenda, faster even than President Reagan. So the idea that he's not doing much as president is a

00:13:42.780 little weird. What this really gets to is the difference between the left and the right as they

00:13:47.040 view work. And I suppose as they view the world. Which is that for the left, if you're not in a

00:13:52.220 meeting, if you're not in a structured meeting with a lot of bureaucrats and a lot of tables and

00:13:57.180 Microsoft Excel open, then you're not doing productive work. You need more meetings and then

00:14:02.300 you have to have a meeting to set up a meeting. The trouble with meetings is that meetings are

00:14:05.720 almost never productive. Meetings, to quote my priest, Father Rutler, are the opiate of the

00:14:11.400 bureaucrat. And the left is bureaucratic. President Trump spends 60 percent of his time in

00:14:15.660 executive time. He's managed to affect a pretty conservative agenda in that amount of time. And

00:14:20.740 what is executive time? He's calling people. He's calling foreign leaders. He's tweeting. He's

00:14:25.320 taking in the news. We need unstructured time. You don't really think about the big picture

00:14:31.320 when you're in a meeting with a bunch of bureaucrats around you. You think about it when you're

00:14:35.120 driving around, when you're going, you've got an hour in between meetings. You're walking to the

00:14:39.260 airport. I don't know. That is unstructured time that really helps. The left did this to

00:14:44.020 Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan famously would end work at six o'clock. He said, if I see an executive

00:14:50.560 who can't finish his work in eight or nine hours, I see an ineffective executive. And Ronald Reagan,

00:14:57.120 another one of the great effective conservative presidents. So great job. If the left really

00:15:01.820 believes this, good. You can be at ease. He's not going to take over all of Europe. The right won't

00:15:06.680 last a thousand years because he's so lazy. For the rest of us, we know that he is working in a much

00:15:11.340 more effective way than the bureaucracy of the left. We have got to bring on, we have a lot more

00:15:16.180 to say about working, but we have first got to bring on someone who obviously doesn't work very

00:15:24.200 much by virtue of his youth and vigor. Andy Millennial. What's up? Andy, thank you so much

00:15:31.000 for coming on. It's been a while. We haven't had you on in a little while. It's been a long time,

00:15:34.600 yeah. But you've been busy. You've been collecting a lot of experiences. Yeah. Something. I don't know.

00:15:39.320 Something. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. So what's going on? What can you update us on? Well, you know,

00:15:43.760 not much. I mean, we've got this State of the Union. I think it's an urgent, urgent moment of political,

00:15:52.240 you know, something of urgency going on for the country. And, you know, I would watch it myself if I

00:15:57.740 weren't hanging with my buds. But, you know, I think I'm really hoping that an important progressive

00:16:04.280 agenda will be put forward. It's very, very important to me that we are progressive.

00:16:10.200 So what specifically do you want to see out of the State of the Union?

00:16:13.060 You know, I don't know a lot about issues, you know, or facts or anything like that. But speaking

00:16:18.200 as a millennial, just speaking as my lived experience as a millennial, you know, I think I live out my

00:16:24.320 progressivism, you know. Like, I mean, you know, like you look back in the old days and people

00:16:28.200 didn't have tattoos, you know. And now, like, I have a tattoo on every part of my body. So that's

00:16:32.540 like progress. You know, I made progress. People, you know, wouldn't wear stuff. They were afraid

00:16:37.520 to wear anything. But, you know, I have, like, piercings on my nose and, you know, I put rings

00:16:42.020 on my nose. That's progress, you know. And, like, I believe in, like, the environment, you know,

00:16:47.260 environment. So, like, I think we've got to get rid of all this, like, oil and all these cities

00:16:50.920 that are just ruining the environment and bring back the jungle, you know, so we can be 0.99

00:16:54.180 walking through the jungle with tattoos and rings on our nose. And I think that's

00:16:57.380 And that's progress. We stop speaking this language, you know. We just get rid of all 1.00

00:17:06.940 this written language. I could have gone on with that for about 10 more minutes.

00:17:13.400 That is progress. That's progress with a capital P.

00:17:16.400 You know, we can go back to sacrificing babies. The left has got it all figured out.

00:17:21.180 I think we've got it. Yeah, I think we're, I think we make the Aztecs look like children. 0.97

00:17:25.020 I think we make them look.

00:17:26.140 We're living in apocalypto at this point.

00:17:28.360 That's right. We, so, the State of the Union addresses tonight. You are, I have to tell you,

00:17:34.300 you are the most articulate millennial spokesman that I've ever met.

00:17:39.560 It is amazing, isn't it? It's amazing.

00:17:40.920 I'd say my, for a man my age, to have a grasp of language that's extensive, it can only be

00:17:46.280 attributed to hard study and, I think it just comes in through this hat, actually.

00:17:51.200 That's what it comes in through, through hard study, the legalization of shrooms, so, right.

00:17:56.200 I do, you touched on this tattoo question.

00:17:58.860 Yes.

00:17:59.100 Did you see this story about your fellow millennial, Ariana Grande? She got a tattoo for her 0.84

00:18:05.100 new song. She has a song called Seven Rings.

00:18:07.380 Yeah.

00:18:07.620 She got a tattoo, for some reason, in Japanese, and she got it, for some reason, on the palm

00:18:11.880 of her hand. But it turns out that the tattoo doesn't say Seven Rings in Japanese. It says

00:18:17.480 Barbecue Grill.

00:18:20.420 Well, I'm very supportive of barbecue, you know.

00:18:22.420 That's right. I'm into it.

00:18:23.720 I would get that tattoo myself, I think.

00:18:26.600 I might get it in English.

00:18:27.820 Like, wings on this side, ribs on the...

00:18:29.860 This is... I actually can't make a joke about this, because that is the joke. I mean, this

00:18:35.320 is the idea that these little white millennial girls are getting Japanese tattooed on their 1.00

00:18:40.300 wrist, and they think it means water, and really it means, like, you know, four-wheel

00:18:44.740 truck.

00:18:45.080 You know, what is this? You know, I was watching the Super Bowl, and the Maroon 5 guy, what's

00:18:49.680 his name, Adam Levine? He takes off his shirt, and like, every inch of his body is

00:18:53.460 tattooed, and you just think, like, you know, in about 20 years, it's going to look really,

00:18:57.260 really bad. I mean, look at Schwarzenegger, you know, the way what happens to your body

00:19:00.780 after a while, you know.

00:19:01.700 That's Mr. Universe.

00:19:02.740 Yeah, exactly.

00:19:03.240 That's one of the strongest men in the world.

00:19:04.440 You know, it is funny. I have to tell you, Alyssa Milano, though, is part of a very, very

00:19:10.080 weird... You look at her, she dresses like a little girl. Have you noticed this? 1.00

00:19:14.500 Yeah.

00:19:15.040 But she's hot, you know. I mean, she's obviously very beautiful. It's a weird little thing we're

00:19:19.580 having in our rock idols at the moment.

00:19:22.340 I don't really understand where it comes from. I have an inkling, because it's not just these

00:19:27.560 stars, it's millennials broadly are so much more tatted up than other generations. They 0.99

00:19:33.320 all have tattoos, and I mean, I have seen people on their kneecaps, they'll have giant

00:19:38.260 citrus fruit, and one kneecap and the other, and just random little designs that don't seem

00:19:42.720 to mean anything.

00:19:43.420 You know, I was kidding around when we started, but it really does seem to me that certain

00:19:47.640 things that were considered primitive, like the idea that you were primitive was not a

00:19:52.280 good thing. You were trying to be civilized, we were trying to move forward, we were trying

00:19:55.200 to move... But certain things that were considered primitive, like all these piercings and things

00:19:59.280 that you see in Native cultures, and the tattoos, they actually are coming back.

00:20:03.860 I don't think it's a good thing. I think we were actually, like that trajectory up out

00:20:08.580 of the jungle, I think is a good one. I think that's the kind of one we want to stick with 1.00

00:20:12.060 that, you know, like less killing, less beating up women, things like that.

00:20:15.580 And there used to be specific times to get a tattoo. For instance, if you're in the Marines

00:20:21.040 or you're a criminal... 0.52

00:20:22.100 And you wake up with a tattoo, but you can't remember how you got it. Yeah, that was okay.

00:20:26.300 That's actually to be encouraged, I think. Because you actually, I suppose, for our criminals

00:20:31.320 and also for our service members, for obviously very different reasons, those are two groups

00:20:36.520 where strength really matters, where a sort of, the niceties of civilization really kind

00:20:42.880 of have to go away. One, if you're trying to protect people and fight for the good guys,

00:20:46.340 and two, if you're making your way through prison.

00:20:48.360 Right.

00:20:48.880 Now, it's all of these little hipster guys who weigh 120 pounds, and they wear leggings

00:20:53.580 all day long.

00:20:54.240 It really is strange, and it is this harkening... You know, Steven Pinker is kind of, he's kind

00:20:58.900 of a liberal, I wouldn't call him like a far lefty or anything like this, but he does

00:21:02.340 like to, because he's a scientist, he does like to say things that kind of make the left

00:21:06.700 crazy, like men and women are different. I mean, all the science shows that men and

00:21:10.060 women are different. And one of the things he talked about, and he's been talking about 0.96

00:21:13.000 it for a long time, is that the world has gotten less violent as it has become more civilized.

00:21:18.740 Obviously, our wars are so horrific because we have these engines of destruction, but if

00:21:23.860 you live in an uncivilized society, a primitive society, you are more likely to get killed or

00:21:29.760 raped than you are now in this incredible, you know, world that we have. Why these kids 0.76

00:21:36.500 who have never been to war, who have never... Most of them, the way they talk, the way... 0.54

00:21:40.800 Alexandria, occasional cortex talks, you think she has never left New York. I mean, she has

00:21:45.260 never...

00:21:45.600 But only the really nice part of New York. We're not talking about the South Bronx here.

00:21:48.520 I know, she is. But they've never seemed to have been anywhere, and yet, and yet, they

00:21:52.460 are bedecked with this kind of, like, you know, stuff in their skin. And I don't mean to 0.99

00:21:57.940 just be... Just dismiss it, because, like, believe me, my generation, if we had thought

00:22:01.700 of piercing our faces, we would have done it just didn't occur to us. We were so stoned

00:22:05.640 out of our minds, you know? But so it's not like just saying, oh, this is... It's the

00:22:09.100 particular message it's sending, this message that, like, that we're going backwards, you

00:22:14.120 know?

00:22:14.300 You know where I think it comes from a little bit, too, is this postmodern nihilism? Because

00:22:19.360 the tattoos are not often significant. If... I will make an exception. If someone has a

00:22:24.660 really significant tattoo, and they want... And they have really good reasons for it,

00:22:29.160 I sort of can understand that. I was at an Apple store in Grand Central, and the guy who

00:22:34.920 was helping me out, on his ring finger, had a little mustache tattoo. And then on the

00:22:40.640 middle finger, it said, S, a word for fecal matter, cray, in cursive.

00:22:47.940 Stuff cray, like short for crazy. That's meaningless. That is not... That is the embodiment

00:22:55.540 of meaninglessness. And you see... And women, too, have these crazy tattoos where it's just 0.94

00:22:59.940 like a little squiggle, or just a random little shape, all down their body. I think it's because

00:23:05.360 we are saying nothing really matters, nothing really matters to me. Why not? I'm just a big

00:23:10.140 hunk of flesh. And there's also, in this oppression matrix that we've created, that, you know,

00:23:16.360 the intersectionality ideology, the one thing that unites all of these disparate groups that

00:23:22.180 seem to contradict one another, is that they hate big daddy Western civilization. And so,

00:23:28.200 I mean, from the time of Rousseau, certainly up to the present, you have this romantic idea of the

00:23:33.020 primitive, of the savage, of the jungle. And I think on a certainly unconscious level, when we're

00:23:37.780 talking about millennials, I think that's what that's getting at a little bit. Just, you can't

00:23:42.100 make me conform, man. Well, think about it. I think about the fact that they've made these

00:23:46.020 movies, Avatar, Pocahontas, Dances with Wolves, are all the same movie. A civilized man goes back

00:23:51.280 into a more backward culture and finds that that is where truth is. That's where, you know, 1.00

00:23:56.120 honesty and integrity are. And there's always, and the women are always treated well, because, 1.00

00:24:00.340 you know, primitive cultures, women are not treated well. And it really is interesting when

00:24:04.820 you watch, Avatar was the one that always got me, because they have everything that you would have

00:24:09.020 if you had oil, but they have it by magic. So they have lights, but they have the little plants

00:24:12.740 that light up. They can fly around. Yeah, and then they fly around in dragons and all this.

00:24:16.160 Yeah, but you need that oil if you're going to get those things off the ground, you know.

00:24:20.200 Let's make a little money, honey. And as the Catholic of the Daily Wire, I think it only 0.96

00:24:24.060 makes sense that I should sell indulgences. Valentine's Day is fast approaching. What are

00:24:28.560 you going to do? It's the age-old dilemma. If you go to your local flower shop, look, especially

00:24:32.560 you get close to the day, you're probably going to get ripped off. I think I bought dandelions

00:24:36.280 for like $400 last year. Don't do that. Sometimes they're not fresh. Chocolate, you know, you can't

00:24:41.440 eat that. You're fat. Don't make yourself fat. Then you throw out the whole box. This year, 0.78

00:24:45.420 do something original and indulgent for Valentine's, something that rings the bell.

00:26:13.980 watching it. Other than progress, what are you looking for?

00:26:16.960 Well, I mean, I think it is interesting. He's been talking about, they've been talking about

00:26:21.080 A Call for Unity, which is just a really fascinating idea to me because Donald Trump,

00:26:26.680 in many ways, erased all the attitudinal stuff, all the tweets and the insults and all those

00:26:32.360 things, the style that people love and hate. I don't want to erase that, but for the moment,

00:26:36.560 I will. Just stipulate this out of the way. Donald Trump is a very practical guy. I mean,

00:26:40.580 he wants things to work. And I've always noticed this about him, that he wants, he's a narcissist,

00:26:45.580 and so he wants to be loved, but he wants to be loved for fixing stuff. He said it again and

00:26:49.340 again. I fix things. That's what I do. And he's actually taken that approach. I mean,

00:26:54.120 nothing he's done has been ideological, except in the sense that the left has given him no room

00:26:58.780 to move, so he's only been able to move to the right. That's the only way he's been able to go.

00:27:02.360 But he's perfectly, you hear him when he negotiates, like, yeah, I'll give you the dreamers

00:27:06.080 and I'll take the wall. Give you the dreamers, let all the criminals out of prison. I don't know.

00:27:09.420 Yeah, whatever. He actually has no ideology whatsoever. I think most Americans are like that. I do not

00:27:14.960 think. I think people like us have an ideology. Most Americans just want stuff fixed.

00:27:18.240 Why isn't this working? Why can't I get to work? Why can't I do this stuff?

00:27:21.680 And so it is interesting. If it weren't for his affect, he would actually probably be a uniting

00:27:28.180 figure. As it is, he has made his personality such a big part of his presidency that I think he's in

00:27:34.600 this battle, locked in this battle with Nancy Pelosi, who I seriously think, for all she's a highly

00:27:40.420 professional politician and a real killer, I think she can't let go of the battle. I do believe,

00:27:47.480 you know, I think Trump, Trump actually, you know, he gets personal, but he'd give her a lot of what

00:27:52.700 she wants, but she can't do it. She can't because he, he can let go of the battle in so much as

00:27:58.220 people smear, Lindsey Graham called him all sorts of awful names. He called all of the other

00:28:02.480 Republicans awful names and now they're buddies. He goes down to Texas for Ted Cruz. He says,

00:28:06.640 I know he used to be lying. Now he's beautiful Ted. I love him. He doesn't, he really doesn't take it

00:28:11.200 for him or against him. And I just think it is interesting that if, if you could just look at

00:28:16.400 his policies, just look at his approach, he would be a unifying figure, but he's not, you know? And I

00:28:21.180 think, and I think that that's really interesting because I think if you, if you look, he's the

00:28:25.780 opposite of Obama who had a kind of appealing, quieter style, but did things that actually tore

00:28:31.420 the country to pieces. And were deeply ideological. And were deeply ideological. And so he's the kind of

00:28:35.740 the opposite of that. But I really do believe that he and Pelosi are in a battle royal, that none of

00:28:40.760 them, that he can move because his base will follow him, but she can't because her, her base is

00:28:46.880 actually not following her. It's following an ideology. And I love that idea. If he had a

00:28:51.260 different personality, he would be, if I had some ham, I could have a ham sandwich. If I had some

00:28:55.540 bread. Well, it'll be a lot of fun tonight. It's true. And it will be fun, except boring as hell,

00:29:00.720 I think. Yeah, I think that'll be the thing. Well, at least I, you know, I've got this little

00:29:04.240 throat, chest issue. Yeah, I noticed. So I'll be able to work through that with all those good

00:29:07.540 cigars. That's the important thing. Those cigars will cure you right up and will bury you. Andy

00:29:12.540 Millennial, good to see you. I won't shake your hand on account of, but I'll see you in a few

00:29:39.320 hours. Get subscribed. Get those questions ready. You get another kingdom. You get everything.

00:29:44.620 And you get this. You get the, oh, President Trump is going to have, what is it going to be an hour

00:29:50.640 tonight? An hour and a half of saying whatever he wants. And all those Democrats, they're going to,

00:29:55.720 it's going to be like that picture of Chuck and Nancy, the American Gothic. It's going to be that

00:29:59.540 turned up to 11. Get your Tumblr. Go to dailywire.com. We'll be right back with a lot more.

00:30:13.740 I do want to finish this thought on executive time and how we work and what work really means. I mean,

00:30:20.420 you know, the left, the left attacks Donald Trump for opposite reasons. They attack him

00:30:25.680 for being too effective and right wing and awful and terrible. And they attack him for being lazy

00:30:31.900 and not doing anything and just watching Fox News all day. And it can't be both. They've obviously

00:30:36.540 come to a conclusion and they're in search of an argument. But the way that President Trump works,

00:30:41.760 60% executive time, 15% meetings. One, I think that's a pretty good idea. And two, I think it's

00:30:48.740 pretty emblematic of our time and the way that we work these days. You know, there was a study that just

00:30:53.460 came out. About half of Americans consider themselves workaholics. 48% consider themselves

00:30:59.160 workaholics. They have on average 7.5 hours of screen time daily. This makes sense. A lot of us

00:31:06.460 are on our screens for work. And if you're not on your screen a lot for work, maybe you're on some

00:31:11.460 screen or you're obviously using screens in all your personal life. What does it mean to be a workaholic?

00:31:16.660 It's not the people who are in the coal mines for 18 hours a day. What they mean is that they worry

00:31:21.360 about work on a day that they're off. What it means is that, this is just how they described it,

00:31:25.900 they feel too busy to take a vacation ever. It means that the minute they wake up, they're on

00:31:30.920 their phone, they're checking email. They're right away logged on. 58% of respondents say that they

00:31:35.840 do that. I certainly do that. They say that these are the top three symptoms of workaholicism.

00:31:44.740 Does this mean that we're working harder all the time? No. Actually, it doesn't. But what it means is

00:31:49.720 that we're almost never not working. I mean, I say this as a man who sleeps 27 hours a day.

00:31:54.680 You know, I'm not working like grinding away at the coal mine all day long. But I am always

00:32:00.660 sort of working. It's very rare that I'm not working. And I don't think I'm the only one. I

00:32:04.540 think most people are there checking emails. In the old days, you would have business hours. And then

00:32:09.380 after business hours, you wouldn't really be bothered. Now, what's business hours? I get calls

00:32:13.900 all through the night. I make calls all through the night. I expect people to pick up on the East

00:32:17.280 Coast or on the West Coast. President Trump is emblematic of this. He's always sort of working.

00:32:23.780 So when he's watching Fox and Friends and tweeting, obviously, that's work. He's gaining information.

00:32:29.000 He's pushing his agenda. He's in one of his biggest roles. He's a spokesman. He's a communicator.

00:32:34.760 That's maybe the chief charge of the president as a political figure. And that doesn't have business

00:32:40.220 hours. The modern economy doesn't have business hours. So there are some proposals now. I just read

00:32:45.540 one of them where a few companies are giving women over 30 time off to date. You think this is

00:32:52.700 ridiculous. What a ridiculous idea. These millennials are so coddled, whatever. I actually think it's a 1.00

00:32:58.440 pretty good idea. Because what it makes us aware of is the one moral hazard of our economy, of our

00:33:06.380 work hard, free markets, capitalist American economy, which is so wonderful. The one hazard is that we

00:33:13.200 lose perspective. And we think that we're just economic creatures. We're just automatons,

00:33:18.320 consumers, whatever. But really, life is so much more than that. That's one aspect of what we do.

00:33:23.900 But we only do that to serve ourselves. We have higher aims than just buying a lot of nice stuff.

00:33:29.780 We have relationships and duties and responsibilities to our families, to our communities, and to our God.

00:33:35.360 We have a purpose in our life beyond just consuming the nicest electronics. And in this economy,

00:33:41.720 especially I've lived in New York and L.A., it's really hard for people to date because they're

00:33:46.300 working all the time. And so I think this actually, in a kind of silly way, is addressing that problem.

00:33:53.760 And more executive time is, if that's the way of the American economy, so be it. And that's good.

00:33:59.760 And we can be more effective that way. And if private solutions are coming around to trying to

00:34:05.300 get a little bit more of a balance in life and try to make you see that life is about more than just

00:34:10.680 chugging away on Excel spreadsheets or something, I think that's a good move too.

00:34:14.880 We have to get to Nancy Pelosi's Bible quote. If you didn't see this, Nancy Pelosi has been using

00:34:22.700 this quote from the Bible. Nancy Pelosi is a self-described Catholic. Of course, she has a radical 0.97

00:34:28.240 abortion agenda. But she at least says that she's a Catholic. Andrew Cuomo, who legalized infanticide

00:34:34.200 two weeks ago, he says that he's a Catholic too. Nancy Pelosi has been giving this little stump

00:34:41.560 speech for years and years where she quotes a line of the Bible. There's just one problem.

00:34:46.680 I can't find it in the Bible, but I quote it all the time. And I keep reading and reading the Bible.

00:34:51.480 I know it's there someplace. It's supposed to be in Isaiah. But I heard a bishop say,

00:34:55.540 to minister to the needs of God's creation is an act of worship. To ignore those needs is to

00:35:04.460 dishonor the God who made us. It's there somewhere in some words or another, but certainly the spirit

00:35:12.280 of it is there. It's there somewhere it's got to be. I know it's supposed to be in Isaiah. Oh,

00:35:18.220 really? Did I, Isaiah, you should take that up with him. Isaiah promised you it was going to be

00:35:22.640 there. It's supposed to be there. I mean, it's not. It isn't there or anywhere else in the Bible.

00:35:27.600 But Nancy Pelosi, the gospel according to St. Nancy of the, of Sacramento or of wherever,

00:35:35.580 she insists that it's there, but it's not. It's not there. The quote that she's using is,

00:35:42.920 the Bible tells us in the Old Testament, to minister to the needs of God's creation is an

00:35:47.120 act of worship. To ignore those needs is to dishonor the God who made us. What Nancy Pelosi

00:35:52.100 is doing is an act of worship. It is an act of self-worship. That's what she's doing. She's

00:35:57.960 saying, listen, I know that this is in the Bible. I know that this is what the Bible tells us. I mean,

00:36:02.840 it doesn't, and it's not anywhere in the Bible, but I want it to be. And so I will turn the scripture,

00:36:08.260 the word of God to what I want. This is an analogy that is used for this sometimes is looking down a

00:36:16.540 well. I have no doubt that Nancy Pelosi has read the Bible on some occasions in her life, skimmed it

00:36:20.940 at least. And what we do when we just skim the Bible for our own purposes, without any sort of

00:36:27.640 interpretive doctrine, without any sort of people teaching it to us, going through it with us,

00:36:34.540 guiding us spiritually through it. What it's like is it's like looking down a dark well,

00:36:39.700 a profound and dark well, and all you see is your own reflection in the water.

00:36:44.900 That's what Nancy Pelosi is doing. She's looking at the Bible, whatever she skimmed,

00:36:49.480 and she's seeing her own reflection. And so it couldn't possibly be the case that that quote

00:36:54.700 is not in the Bible. It has to be because Nancy said so. And what is the quote? The quote is,

00:36:59.460 to minister to the needs of creation is an act of worship. No, that would be idolatrous.

00:37:05.900 To worship the creation is idolatry. Now, we have stewardship over the earth. We have dominion

00:37:16.300 over the earth. That's our job. That's the duty that God gave to us. Worship is worship. We worship

00:37:22.780 God. We don't worship the creation. We're not supposed to worship ourselves. This is the trouble

00:37:27.800 with being lightly educated. A little learning is a dangerous thing. This is the trouble

00:37:35.300 with only reading books of quotations or only reading quotation memes on the internet. There's

00:37:40.940 that famous meme. It's a picture of Abraham Lincoln. It says, don't believe everything you

00:37:45.260 read on the internet. Abraham Lincoln, 1862. And I like books of quotations. Winston Churchill,

00:37:52.940 I believe, recommended books of quotations to people. He had some of the great quotations in

00:37:58.320 all of those modern books. Actually, speaking of Churchill, I was at a dinner with a fairly well-known

00:38:04.620 actress. And we were having dinner, left wing. And this actress said we were discussing Winston

00:38:11.000 Churchill. She said, you know, Churchill said during the Second World War that parliament was about to cut

00:38:16.860 funding to the arts. And Winston Churchill said, then what are we fighting for? Of course, he didn't

00:38:25.400 say that. I knew this immediately because I know anything about Winston Churchill. Winston Churchill did

00:38:30.660 not fight the Second World War. He didn't fight in the Boer War. He didn't escape from a prison camp in

00:38:35.700 South Africa. He didn't do all of that to preserve government funding for stupid plays that often are 1.00

00:38:42.560 terrible. And bad modern murals. I promise you he didn't do that. Because I know something about 1.00

00:38:47.900 Winston Churchill, so I just know that that isn't true. But what people do is they look down that well

00:38:53.060 at whatever profound issue they're looking at, and they only see their own reflection. I was, I forget,

00:38:59.040 I was tweeting about something the other day on the internet. And some dummy blue checkmark guy

00:39:03.800 tried to make some point, but it wasn't a very good point. And, but because he didn't seem terribly

00:39:10.560 intelligent, and he didn't seem terribly humble, he couldn't understand that his point had been

00:39:15.900 refuted. So I used a line from the Bakke by Euripides, which is, talk sense to a fool, and he 0.94

00:39:23.640 calls you foolish. It's useless to talk sense to a fool. And then he responded with a quote from Oscar 1.00

00:39:29.180 Wilde that said that quotations are a substitute for wit. And then I said, I know Oscar Wilde didn't say

00:39:35.940 that. And I looked it up, and that quotation is not true either. We have, we're in this very shallow

00:39:41.100 culture. We're in a very glib culture, where we are quoting all of these great ideas, great thinkers.

00:39:47.960 We are pretending that we are following in a long intellectual tradition, and we are not. We are

00:39:53.760 severing ourselves from that tradition, because we are not being cultured, and we're not being educated.

00:39:58.520 And what we are doing is just substituting a false fantasy of that tradition, and everyone else

00:40:05.760 who's also uneducated and uncultured thinks that that's true. What requires, what is required to

00:40:12.060 fix this is humility. We actually can't just tell the left, you guys are a bunch of idiots. 1.00

00:40:18.200 I mean, we can maybe, you know, once every so often we can say that. But what we need is a little 1.00

00:40:21.800 humility too, because even us on the right, we are not well educated. This is just a symptom of the

00:40:27.400 20th and 21st centuries. Our education systems have been destroyed. K through 12, college and

00:40:33.740 graduate school. They've been really hollowed out by ideology, by leftism, by trying to look down the

00:40:39.080 profound well of our tradition, and only seeing ourselves, only seeing the perpetual present.

00:40:45.500 This is a really big issue. I'm going to be speaking at UCLA tomorrow. I'll be giving a lecture

00:40:49.960 on a similar topic, so if you're around, go check it out. Before we go, I also have to get to the

00:40:54.660 Super Bowl. I know, I didn't watch the Super Bowl. I was on an airplane. Apparently no one else

00:41:00.120 watched it either, though, so I don't feel that bad. I suppose it happened. This was the lowest

00:41:05.940 moment of the Trump presidency. I'm sorry that I even have to watch this.

00:41:11.200 Would you let your son, Barron, play football?

00:41:14.480 It's a very tough question. It's a very good question. If he wanted to, yes. Would I steer him

00:41:20.380 that way? No, I wouldn't.

00:41:22.680 Why?

00:41:23.000 I wouldn't. And he actually plays a lot of soccer. He's liking soccer. And a lot of people,

00:41:27.600 including me, thought soccer would probably never make it in this country, but it really

00:41:31.200 is moving forward rapidly. I just don't like the reports that I see coming out having to

00:41:36.700 do with football. I mean, it's a dangerous sport. And I think it's really tough. I thought

00:41:43.320 the equipment would get better, and it has. The helmets have gotten far better, but it hasn't

00:41:48.240 solved the problem. So, you know, I hate to say it because I love to watch football.

00:41:54.520 I think the NFL is a great product, but I really think that as far as myself, well,

00:42:00.860 I've heard NFL players saying they wouldn't let their sons play football. So it's not totally

00:42:06.680 unique, but I would have a hard time with it.

00:42:08.740 I don't even disagree with much of what he said, but that soccer line, Barron plays soccer.

00:42:13.880 Mr. President, please, I, you know that I care about you, your office, your family seems

00:42:20.760 lovely. The soccer, please don't. What good is it if we secure our border, we deport illegal 1.00

00:42:27.880 alien criminals, we get our economy moving again, we make America, what good is that? 1.00

00:42:34.360 What does that avail? If American children are playing soccer, what's the point? What 0.67

00:42:40.100 then are we fighting for? To quote, not Winston Churchill, really sad. The future of football

00:42:45.160 is in question. I don't care because I don't watch football and I like baseball. And I think

00:42:49.280 baseball is a much more sophisticated sport and more enjoyable to watch. And I think football

00:42:53.560 is very boring. And it's especially boring during that Super Bowl where they scored a

00:42:57.660 combined 16 points. But we're looking at the lowest rated Super Bowl ever, low, 10-year

00:43:03.200 low. We're looking at a few reasons for this. Part of it is TV. People aren't watching linear

00:43:11.560 TV anymore. But of course, they can stream it on any device they want. Part of that is the

00:43:16.040 growing popularity of other sports like soccer. Part of it is politics. Part of it is get woke,

00:43:21.380 go broke. The NFL came in and embraced Colin Kaepernick, let all of those ingrates on the field

00:43:27.840 make a mockery of our country and make a mockery of the sport. They tolerated it. They encouraged it.

00:43:33.400 That incompetent football commissioner did it. And now look at what has happened. And now an ad that

00:43:38.580 was supposed to be run during the Super Bowl from CBS was shut down for being too political

00:43:45.220 in the other direction. Don't ask if your loyalty is crazy. Ask if your loyalty is crazy enough.

00:43:51.880 When they question you running towards danger for those who are unable or unwilling. When they laugh

00:43:57.660 at the thought of you willingly sacrificing your life for someone you may never know. Stay that way.

00:44:03.660 Some people think you're crazy being loyal, defending the Constitution, standing for the flag.

00:44:09.420 Then I guess I'm crazy. Then I guess I'm crazy. Then I guess I'm crazy. And for those who kneel,

00:44:16.500 they fail to understand that they can kneel and that they can protest, that they can despise what

00:44:22.620 I stand for, even hate the truth that I speak. But they can only do that because I am crazy enough.

00:44:32.580 Great commercial. It's from Nine Line, which I believe is a vet-owned company. In normal America, 1.00

00:44:36.960 Colin Kaepernick would be ostracized. Nike would not be allowed to advertise. And this company would

00:44:42.160 be doing great. And today it's the opposite. That spells trouble, not just for the NFL, about which

00:44:46.860 I don't care at all, but for the country. We'll have to see what happens tonight at the State of the

00:44:51.260 Union. In the meantime, I'll see you in a few hours. In the meantime, I'm Michael Knowles. This is
