Two more leftist Democrat ladies entered the 2020 presidential contest over the weekend,
00:00:46.320
We will analyze the official Liz Warren kickoff, as well as Klobuchar's snowy global warming warning.
00:00:56.140
Then, John Kasich does yoga, Virginia politicians do minstrel shows,
00:01:01.040
and the Grammys award people for neither singing nor dancing.
00:01:04.800
Finally, the Pope pals around with the Grand Sheik in Arabia,
00:01:08.120
while Democrat Congresswoman Ilan Omar defames the Jews.
00:01:12.300
I'm Michael Knowles, and this is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:01:14.280
Really interesting religious realignment going on right now in America and throughout the world.
00:01:27.520
This story is probably the most under-reported news story.
00:01:33.340
The Pope visited the Arabian Peninsula for the first time in 2,000 years.
00:01:39.660
This is all, I think, finally a Western reckoning on scientific materialism,
00:01:46.840
on atheism, on the religion or irreligion that came out of the Enlightenment.
00:01:54.900
And so, of course, the mainstream media are not reporting on it.
00:01:58.120
But we will report on what looks to be an alliance between the Muslim world
00:02:03.240
and the religious Western world against atheism.
00:02:10.460
We have got to cover Liz Warren's, I think, seventh campaign kickoff.
00:02:14.580
How many times has she kicked off this campaign already?
00:02:20.740
But first, let's make a little money, honey, with Untuck It.
00:02:27.180
No guy looks very good in a long, bulky dress shirt when it is untucked.
00:02:37.980
Usually, with most shirts, this ends up looking sloppy.
00:02:41.000
That's because those shirts were not meant to be worn that way.
00:02:44.020
Untuck It makes shirts specifically designed to be worn untucked.
00:02:54.040
I noticed because Jeremy the God King Boring would wear them constantly.
00:02:58.200
And I was like, oh, Jeremy, man, those shirts look pretty cool.
00:03:04.040
Now, it turns out, you can get a special offer from Untuck It just for my listeners.
00:03:08.760
Go to untuckit.com or visit one of Untuck It's 50 stores across the U.S. and Canada.
00:03:13.700
I've actually, before they were a sponsor, I went into one.
00:03:18.600
Untuck It even offers free shipping and returns on all orders in the U.S.
00:03:22.300

00:03:40.920
Elizabeth Warren is officially running for president.
00:03:44.540
Again, I know she officially was doing it three months ago and then officially this.
00:03:48.660
She has another campaign kickoff and here she is kicking off her first day on the trail
00:03:57.660
Every day, there's a racist tweet, a hateful tweet, something really dark and ugly.
00:04:09.040
And what are we, as candidates, as activists, as the press, going to do about that?
00:04:25.380
Are we going to let him use those to divide us?
00:04:30.880
By the time we get to 2020, Donald Trump may not even be president.
00:04:55.160
Here she is coming out swinging, feisty Elizabeth Warren.
00:04:59.120
And she's going to fight back against Donald Trump by doing a really lame version of his
00:05:07.560
That's, wow, that's our gal, Liz Warren, a woman who, I mean, she is a lecturer, so the
00:05:14.900
fact that she's lecturing people is not surprising.
00:05:22.080
I can't imagine anybody really likes the sound of this.
00:05:30.140
For one, I don't think Donald Trump is even one one thousandth Native American.
00:05:35.340
She's trying to do that great Trump moment from the debate with Hillary Clinton.
00:05:39.500
Just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law
00:05:56.640
Says, I don't want to be in a world where Donald Trump is president.
00:06:26.780
Joe Scarborough seems to think that by the spring, all of that Native American stuff will
00:06:36.120
Because if she could have figured out a way to put this behind her, she would have done
00:06:40.220
She would have done it for the two years now that Donald Trump has been calling her Pocahontas.
00:06:44.760
And for even longer than that, that these allegations have been around, that her fraud
00:06:51.280
If she had an answer, she would have given an answer.
00:06:57.820
And so this is, by the way, why she keeps doing all of these campaign kickoffs for, okay,
00:07:02.880
she made a whole huge deal about the exploratory committee.
00:07:06.200
She's making a whole huge deal about the beer video.
00:07:12.920
She needs a fresh start because she knows that her racial fraud is going to destroy her
00:07:17.080
campaign, if it hasn't already, which obviously it has.
00:07:20.740
So she keeps saying, okay, well, we're going to do a clean break.
00:07:25.920
And then once that's taken care of, then we're going to start a new campaign.
00:07:29.700
So actually, before she even announced the first announcement, she released that genetic
00:07:35.340
She thought, okay, I'm going to release this genetic test.
00:07:37.780
It's going to show that I'm maybe one 1,024th Native American.
00:07:41.240
And then people will say that it's okay that I called myself Native American.
00:08:03.740
People made fun of her for days because she's not Ocasio-Cortez because she's just so stiff
00:08:11.920
And okay, well, that's been now the official launch of the campaign.
00:08:22.160
She also just doesn't have the qualities that make for effective candidates.
00:08:25.880
I have seen candidates, otherwise good candidates, who, like, their face didn't look great.
00:08:33.260
There may be a little bit when they spoke, their nose pinched up too much.
00:08:44.940
You're talking about a popularity contest here.
00:08:47.340
They're, of course, going to accuse Republicans and conservatives who criticize Liz Warren of
00:08:58.960
It's applying the same standard to male and female candidates.
00:09:01.940
You hear, how many times did we hear during the 2016 race that Ted Cruz was facially challenged?
00:09:09.920
This is just the sort of scrutiny that public candidates are up for, especially in a democratic
00:09:20.920
There's a more interesting candidate who is now also officially running for president.
00:09:24.960
I'm actually, I mean, I'm damning with faint praise here because most candidates are more
00:09:30.380
But Amy Klobuchar, senator from Minnesota, actually makes a much stronger case than Liz Warren.
00:09:36.800
In our nation's heartland, at a time when we must heal the heart of our democracy and
00:09:44.620
renew our commitment to the common good, I stand before you as the granddaughter of an iron
00:09:52.900
or a minor, as the daughter of a teacher and a newspaper man, as the first woman elected
00:10:00.240
to the United States Senate from the state of Minnesota to announce my candidacy for president
00:10:16.160
Before I make fun of this announcement, there's a lot to make fun of here.
00:10:28.760
She's smiling in a way that Liz Warren, Hillary Clinton, all the time they would be scowling.
00:10:34.280
The only time they weren't scowling is when they do that awkward forced laugh, that Hillary,
00:10:38.620
ha ha, oh, well, we're going to run and I'm going to, ha ha.
00:10:43.940
You know, and there's that, just that brief moment.
00:10:49.200
She gets Democrat politics, she's better on the stump, she's better with voters, and she
00:10:56.560
Liz Warren comes across as a frail college lecturer.
00:11:02.900
This lady has been running for office for a very long time.
00:11:05.940
She was a, you know, county executive or something in Minnesota.
00:11:09.400
She's taken the long way up and she's learned a thing or two on the trail.
00:11:15.640
The downside for her is she also doesn't have a great voice.
00:11:19.880
The other downside for her is that she's from true blue Minnesota.
00:11:23.520
Minnesota has voted for the Democrat in every single presidential election since 1976.
00:11:28.440
Even in 1984, when Ronald Reagan won 49 states, he won the whole country, Minnesota still managed
00:11:38.440
So she doesn't bring a whole lot with her and she doesn't have much of a reason to moderate.
00:11:43.540
She doesn't have much pushing her toward the center, which might help her in a general election.
00:11:48.920
But then she has one really awful thing going for her.
00:11:52.540
She has one really awful thing going for her that actually every other Democrat candidate
00:12:02.760
There are only three days left until Valentine's Day.
00:12:12.020
I just made my dinner reservation last night for Valentine's Day.
00:12:15.140
Only by the grace of God was I able to get a dinner reservation.
00:12:19.700
If you don't have the perfect surprise already picked out, you're cutting it really close.
00:12:28.140
They have amazing deals on vibrant and romantic Valentine's rose bouquets, arrangements, and
00:12:45.460
They come in just a really nice box so that they don't really get damaged along the way.
00:12:54.360
Roses from 1-800-Flowers are picked at their peak.
00:12:56.800
They are shipped overnight to ensure freshness and her amazement.
00:13:02.000
And $29.99 is an amazing deal for 18 romantic red roses.
00:13:10.080
When it comes to Valentine's Day, I don't settle for anything less than my rose authority.
00:13:15.440
To order Valentine bouquets, arrangements, and more starting at $29.99, like 18 romantic
00:13:20.640
red roses for $29.99, go to 1-800-Flowers.com, click the radio icon, enter promo code COVFEFE,
00:13:36.280
Okay, the one really bad issue that Amy Klobuchar has to deal with, that all of them have to
00:13:50.540
Because broadly, things are all breaking in Donald Trump's direction right now, one after
00:13:56.440
Even right down to this beautiful moment from the announcement speech, Amy Klobuchar standing
00:14:02.420
there as snow is pouring down, covering her head.
00:14:11.780
The people, the people are on our side when it comes to climate change.
00:14:18.080
Because like you and I, they believe in science.
00:14:24.140
That's why in the first 100 days of my administration, I will reinstate the clean power rules and the
00:14:32.820
gas mileage standards and put forth sweeping legislation to invest in green jobs and infrastructure.
00:14:41.460
And on, and on day one, we will rejoin the international climate agreement.
00:14:55.320
We will do all of that on day one just as soon as I dig myself out of the blizzard that
00:15:01.580
I am certainly finding my, it must be caused by global warming.
00:15:05.120
In the global warming blizzard that is coating my hair in snow, day one we will do it.
00:15:10.980
But really bad timing, I mean, in this case, really particularly bad timing because she's
00:15:26.740
I was in Raleigh, North Carolina yesterday giving a speech at the Young America's Foundation.
00:15:32.300
Environmentalism, global warming is the issue for the left.
00:15:37.140
It just seems like, okay, environmentalism is one, raising taxes is another, health care.
00:15:41.980
No, environmentalism is the whole thing because it's the religion.
00:15:45.900
The religion is the religion of global warming, and the religion is then totalizing.
00:15:54.020
So this Green New Deal is the great example of that.
00:15:57.980
The Green New Deal, for some reason, includes a jobs program, a mandatory universal basic income.
00:16:03.800
It destroys 88% of the American energy industry.
00:16:08.260
It destroys and then rebuilds every single residential and non-residential building in America.
00:16:14.320
It takes over a sixth of the U.S. economy and forces a socialist health care program that
00:16:19.520
destroys private insurance and eliminates patient choice.
00:16:25.040
What does that have to do with the Delta smelter, the polar bears?
00:16:27.560
Seemingly nothing, unless you realize that this is not about protecting the natural environment.
00:16:33.360
This is the totalizing religion of the left, and through this religious bill, they'll get everything they want.
00:16:39.280
The Green New Deal sets up a mechanism, a select committee, such that they can pass any law they want.
00:16:46.820
Without the committee, without any accountability to voters, without any campaigning, without any democratic or republican politics.
00:17:01.700
And so that's why they all have to focus on global warming.
00:17:04.400
And like every other false religion, no amount of data are going to convince them to drop it.
00:17:11.260
Like all other false religions, they can be standing.
00:17:15.120
The world's going to end at midnight on Tuesday.
00:17:17.860
They're all out there waiting for the world to end.
00:17:27.960
They say, oh, it's going to be really bad when it happens tomorrow.
00:17:32.820
So what you're hearing now, this is the left-wing response to, President Trump made the same joke about Amy Claw.
00:17:39.300
He said, oh, not a great look, and you're covered up in snow.
00:17:41.700
You look like a little snowman talking about global warming.
00:17:43.920
And they say, you idiot, weather isn't climate.
00:17:51.160
Weather, weather is when one discrete weather event happens, and climate is the totalizing religion that we believe in.
00:18:02.400
So they say one single event in the weather doesn't move the needle on global warming one way or the other.
00:18:11.560
Except they don't abide by that rule when the weather helps their position.
00:18:17.400
When there's some big flood, they say it's global warming.
00:18:20.940
When there's a heat wave, they say it's global warming.
00:18:24.740
When one year is hotter than the previous year, they say that is global warming.
00:18:28.860
When there's a heat spell in the middle of summer, that is global warming.
00:18:32.880
And now, because it's a totalizing religious system, it's unfalsifiable.
00:18:36.280
So when the weather's too cold, it's global warming.
00:18:39.440
When the weather's too hot, it's global warming.
00:18:41.120
When the weather doesn't move at all, as it didn't for a very long period of time between the late 90s and today,
00:18:47.840
when the global mean temperature doesn't increase, they say that's global warming too.
00:18:53.860
Extreme weather, moderate weather, any kind of weather is global warming.
00:19:05.060
So despite the fact that global warming predictions have not come true,
00:19:09.080
despite the fact that New York is not underwater, Florida is not underwater,
00:19:13.520
it's like Al Gore predicted, it hasn't been underwater for 10 years,
00:19:18.740
Despite all of this, they're going to stick to it.
00:19:21.540
And Amy Klobuchar on day one is going to rejoin the Paris Climate Accord.
00:19:30.140
We are leading the way on meeting the goals of the Paris Climate Accord.
00:19:36.580
And the other signatory countries to the Paris Climate Accord are not.
00:19:44.280
It's just joining in on an ideology that has nothing to do with the reality.
00:19:47.800
Even though we are already exceeding the other nations who actually joined the Paris Climate Accord,
00:20:00.500
This is the part of the campaign where everybody is really far left wing to shore up the Democrat base,
00:20:05.820
especially because there are early primaries now.
00:20:11.680
Then they'll try to moderate in the general election.
00:20:13.880
Except there's this awful confluence of now the Democrats are currently especially radical.
00:20:21.480
The Democrat Party is now today especially radical.
00:20:26.060
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez actually wiped the Green New Deal frequently asked questions sheet off of her website.
00:20:34.260
She took it off because we all made fun of it so much.
00:20:38.420
And then her strategists went around and said that Republicans had made it up.
00:20:42.920
The strategists went around and said, oh, they were hoaxes from Republicans.
00:20:52.840
And the Democrats, by the way, for that matter, can't actually back down from the policies that were included in the Green New Deal.
00:21:02.200
All of this is redounding to President Trump's benefit.
00:21:04.740
It's why Rasmussen today has President Trump's approval rating at 52%.
00:21:11.600
Everything is breaking in Donald Trump's direction right now.
00:21:15.320
This is going to cause a lot of problems for Democrats.
00:21:17.220
And we haven't even gotten to the best Democrats for President Trump's re-election yet.
00:21:23.920
But first, let's make just a little bit more money, honey.
00:21:25.940
Just, you know, just a little tiny touch with Bowling Branch.
00:21:33.600
If you want to, you know, if you want to get ready for Valentine's Day the right way.
00:21:37.460
At least what I'm going to do, I'm going to make sure my Bowling Branch sheets are on my bed.
00:21:41.220
Bowling Branch, these are the greatest sheets I've ever slept on.
00:21:44.160
Well, getting a great night's sleep is easier and more affordable than you think.
00:21:50.240
You don't, you just need to change your sheets.
00:21:51.780
And that's why you should check out Bowling Branch.
00:21:53.600
Everything they make from bedding to blankets is made from 100% organic cotton,
00:21:57.940
which means they start out super soft and they get softer over time.
00:22:01.260
If you buy really expensive, really high-end luxury sheets,
00:22:07.500
But Bowling Branch are only a couple hundred bucks
00:22:09.460
because they cut out the middleman and they go directly to you.
00:22:12.400
This is why everyone who tries Bowling Branch loves them.
00:22:17.560
Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, and Fast Company are all talking about Bowling Branch.
00:22:21.000
Even three U.S. presidents sleep on Bowling Branch sheets.
00:22:26.140
If you don't love them, send them back for a refund.
00:22:31.420
And just to get started, right now, my listeners, get ready for Valentine's Day.

00:22:59.540
Okay, everything is breaking in President Trump's direction here.
00:23:03.320
So now the Democrats have to own post-birth abortion.
00:23:06.320
They have to own destroying American energy, 88% of it.
00:23:09.660
They have to own rebuilding every single building in the entire United States of America.
00:23:13.540
They have to own a $40 trillion program where the best guess they have on how they can pay for it is to print money.
00:23:22.660
We're just going to print money at the Federal Reserve.
00:23:24.520
They have to own radical health care laws which were so disastrous to the Obama administration in 2009.
00:23:32.120
This is why all of these campaigns have come hobbling out of the gate.
00:23:36.900
Which Democrat campaign have we thought, wow, that's the one?
00:23:48.280
She's started her campaign like seven times already.
00:23:55.260
Ultimately, what this is going to be is a referendum on President Trump.
00:24:02.920
So you say, okay, here's what President Trump is doing.
00:24:05.560
President Trump, because here, what they're going to do is say President Trump is terrible on race.
00:24:14.740
And then who are the Republicans going to point to?
00:24:18.340
Do you remember that little guy over in Virginia?
00:24:24.480
The two, the Attorney General and the Governor?
00:24:28.420
They're going to talk about Donald Trump being a racist.
00:24:30.940
Elizabeth Warren, her entire career defrauded the Texas bar.
00:24:41.880
They're going to say that he's radical on policy.
00:24:45.600
The Democrats want to rebuild every building in the United States.
00:24:54.280
People's tax returns are actually looking pretty good.
00:24:56.780
The Democrats are trying to pretend they're not.
00:25:01.940
We will get to how Virginia, how the Virginia Democrats could have stopped the bleeding,
00:25:08.020
could have helped them going into 2020, but they failed.
00:25:12.140
We'll also get to the Grammys, what the Grammys say about our culture.
00:25:18.920
And we will talk about the papal visit to Abu Dhabi.
00:25:21.720
The Christian-Muslim interfaith dialogue that really does have a chance of reshaping the
00:25:30.940
way that we talk about religion all around the world.
00:25:33.120
That really does stand a chance to reshape certain religious alliances.
00:25:43.180
You keep covfefe in my cup when I've got my delicious covfefe cup.
00:25:46.380
Instead of here on the road, I've got a drink out of paper coffee cups.
00:25:59.940
If you have not yet watched Governor Northam's interview on CBS, where he doubles down on
00:26:08.360
everything and says that slavery was just indentured servitude where people showed up as if voluntarily
00:26:16.260
If you do not have your leftist tears tumbler, I'm sorry.
00:26:20.320
I'm sure you're just floating in your living room right now.
00:26:22.760
But if you do have your leftist tears tumbler, I'm sure that you were able to survive.
00:26:29.460
It's the only FDA-approved vessel to contain those salty, delicious leftist tears.
00:26:33.460
Also, if you're in Atlanta tonight, I'm going to be speaking at Emory University.
00:26:43.360
I think we're going to stream it online if you can't make it out.
00:26:59.460
So, obviously, the Democrats have this broad political problem.
00:27:04.360
They have the national political problem, which is that everything is breaking in Trump's
00:27:08.780
They have the discrete national political problem, which is that all of their candidates
00:27:16.540
Even the leaders like Beto have kind of blown themselves up with those weird, angsty blog
00:27:23.860
Even Joe Biden now, polling isn't looking great for him.
00:27:26.680
Political advisors are saying he'd be even weaker than Hillary Clinton.
00:27:31.760
Cory Booker, Senator Spartacus, not looking great.
00:27:45.860
Then they have this regional problem, which is the entire state of Virginia, entirely run
00:27:50.800
by Democrats, are all racist, rapist, infanticidal clowns.
00:27:59.180
And Ralph Northam, instead of stepping down as the governor, which I guess would elevate
00:28:03.840
an accused rapist, and then if he stepped down, I guess that would elevate another guy
00:28:07.580
who wore blackface, which is ostensibly the whole problem in the first place, because
00:28:12.660
The guy who won't step down, he went on CBS, and he made things worse.
00:28:17.200
Indentured servants from Africa, laying it on our shores in Old Point Comfort, what we
00:28:32.500
When the Africans voluntarily came to America in, I think the year was 1927, when they,
00:28:41.520
no, Governor Northam, they volunteered, hold on, I'm riffing here.
00:28:52.200
If anything, come on, go a little in the other direction.
00:28:56.100
Go a little, you know, really make clear that you do not harbor racial resentment or racial
00:29:03.480
animus or that you're not denying facts of history.
00:29:07.420
Indentured servants from Africa landed on our shore.
00:29:24.720
Some cynical Democratic strategists are really trying to spin this.
00:29:30.380
You remember CNN tried to call Ralph Northam a Republican for a while.
00:29:34.840
They just said, well, if we just call him a Republican, maybe he will be a Republican.
00:29:38.540
CNN analyst, though, Nina Turner, very left-wing woman, she is having none of it.
00:29:44.080
And I think she is expressing a lot of the frustration, even among leftist Democrats.
00:29:49.020
In recent time, until the president has really made this a race issue, whether it's about
00:29:55.600
African Americans, certainly he's doing it all over the board with immigrants.
00:30:13.980
This is about racism in the United States of America.
00:30:17.340
Congresswoman, I hear you, but on this, we're not blaming President Trump.
00:30:26.580
I am not going to let, continue to let politicians use this man as the excuse to deal with racism
00:30:33.760
It's been going on for far too long in the United States of America.
00:30:40.580
She's basically indicting America as this hopelessly awful bigoted place where black people
00:30:48.400
She is correct, however, that Democrat politicians are never held to account for their obvious
00:31:26.740
And I think the, I think left-wing identity politics groups are going to have a lot of
00:31:31.400
trouble going along with the Democrat party this year when some of their leading candidates
00:31:40.220
Senator Elizabeth Warren, she might as well be Senator Rachel Dolezal.
00:31:47.140
Senator red-faced, Governor blackface, two extremely white people pretending to be a
00:31:58.460
So at the same time that they're trying to turn out their very far left-wing progressive
00:32:02.220
base, they are turning them off with this obvious fraud.
00:32:08.940
Because he's just the man to make his state, his commonwealth rather, heal.
00:32:15.040
You think you still deserve this job when so many people are calling for you to step down?
00:32:25.760
I've been in some very difficult situations, life and death situations, taking care of sick children.
00:32:33.020
Right now, Virginia needs someone that can heal.
00:32:36.520
There's no better person to do that than a doctor.
00:32:39.620
Virginia also needs someone who is strong, who has empathy, who has courage, and who has a moral compass.
00:32:52.700
But we're in a unique opportunity now, again, the 400-year anniversary of the history, whether it be good or bad, in Virginia, to really make some impactful changes.
00:33:04.500
A lot of slavery in this country, in this state, yeah.
00:33:22.640
Your most famous medical opinion is that we should kill babies lying on the table crying after they've been born.
00:33:30.560
That's your most famous medical opinion, that you're a healer.
00:33:34.640
And then to use the phrase, I took care of the sick children.
00:33:42.640
You're not going to be having any problems with those sick children anymore.
00:33:52.500
Every single wrong thing, every single wrong move he could possibly make, he's making.
00:34:09.800
But then the guy after him is a bigger disaster.
00:34:11.580
He now has two claims of rape against him, Justin Fairfax, the lieutenant governor, two claims.
00:34:17.020
One at the 2004 Democrat National Convention, the other from the year 2000 from Duke.
00:34:25.180
They're certainly, they hold together more than the allegations against Brett Kavanaugh, but we are just hearing about them now.
00:34:38.080
He is entitled to the presumption of innocence.
00:34:41.560
However, given the political situation, it's no surprise that Virginia legislators want to impeach him.
00:34:47.760
The trouble is they just don't have the political guts to do it right now.
00:34:51.520
So the Virginia legislature pulled a possible move to impeach Justin Fairfax.
00:34:56.580
The issue with Fairfax, by the way, is not even these allegations.
00:35:04.700
The issue with Justin Fairfax is he's even more radically pro-abortion than Ralph Northam.
00:35:16.280
And he spoke the logic of his position on abortion on radio accidentally, which is killing babies after they've been born.
00:35:23.400
However, he hasn't made his whole career on supporting abortion.
00:35:28.500
He hasn't made his whole career as an abortion activist.
00:35:30.860
Justin Fairfax, the lieutenant governor of Virginia, is a major abortion activist.
00:35:35.380
He was the vice chairman of Planned Parenthood of the metropolitan D.C. area.
00:35:39.780
For years, Fairfax is a radical abortion activist.
00:35:44.600
So you've got race issues, rape issues, and late-term abortion, all very unpopular with the American people.
00:35:54.360
So every attack on Trump that they're going to make in 2020, he's a misogynist.
00:36:08.180
Does he have two somewhat credible rape allegations against him made within a week of each other?
00:36:14.380
How about if President Trump is extreme on abortion because he's so pro-life?
00:36:19.640
The American public is a little bit in the middle on abortion.
00:36:22.620
The vast majority of people don't believe in outlawing all forms of abortion immediately from the moment of conception.
00:36:29.260
But the vast, vast, vast majority of the American people oppose late-term abortion.
00:36:35.620
They're going to point right to Virginia, right to Governor Healer, Governor Blackface, infanticidal maniac Healer.
00:36:44.160
And then you have the dark horse candidate, the dark horse Democrat Party candidate.
00:36:51.700
Well, I took my first yoga class today right beside my wife.
00:36:57.040
You know, it was pretty hard, pretty challenging.
00:36:58.920
But I kind of figured out it's not about me versus the world.
00:37:02.160
It's trying to get the most out of what I've got.
00:37:09.920
And I've got to continue because change is really good.
00:37:24.180
Also, is it possible for him to say more incorrect things in that short period of time?
00:37:30.880
Is it actually possible to disagree with every single syllable a man utters as one disagrees with that stupid, oh my gosh, he's there like a little child.
00:37:41.180
He's wearing, you know, this clothing in public, this yoga clothing.
00:37:47.400
And, you know, I don't want to compete against anybody.
00:37:58.280
This is really, this is going to help him in the primary campaign, I think.
00:38:12.500
The first thing I thought when I saw this actually is it validates Matt Walsh entirely.
00:38:25.920
Uh, also, the only thing I could think when I thought of the implications of this video
00:38:33.740
are, is John Kasich going to run in the Democrat primary?
00:38:37.580
I'm not actually making a yoga joke here other than to say he is exclusively saying things
00:38:45.020
He is saying that change is really, really good.
00:38:48.420
And we need to change, like maybe our political parties.
00:38:52.120
I would not be surprised if this man jumps into the Democrat primary for president.
00:39:06.180
Does anybody, whenever anyone from wide-eyed optimists to people who genuinely want to serve
00:39:14.940
their country to those weird sociopaths who are, you know, start running for Congress at
00:39:20.760
the age of 24 and a half and immediately insist on being in Congress the earliest they possibly
00:39:29.820
Does anybody say, I want to be John Kasich when I grow up?
00:39:34.700
If you marry yourself to the spirit of the age, you will find yourself a widower in the next.
00:39:43.020
The Grammys wrap, we always talk about politics, culture, and religion.
00:39:46.880
We're actually going to follow that exact path today because there's a lot of interesting
00:39:51.920
And I'm not talking about John Kasich's movement into the Democrat Party.
00:39:55.300
I'm not talking about Amy Klobuchar's movement into the 2020 race.
00:39:59.620
I'm talking about this movement, this reaction against the Democrat Party with some weird
00:40:08.700
With some weird, you don't know, you've got identity politics people on the left criticizing
00:40:15.100
And in the Grammys, this confusion comes out clearly because our culture is very confused.
00:40:20.080
Michelle Obama opened up the night and she opened up with comments that are exactly correct.
00:40:25.020
From the Motown records I wore out on the South Side to the Who Run the World songs that fueled
00:40:49.980
Whether we like country or rap or rock, music helps us share ourselves.
00:41:00.220
I'm not the biggest fan of Michelle Obama, as we all know.
00:41:11.020
She could probably run for president and raise a lot of money at George Clooney's house.
00:41:27.680
That's why we always hear the word of the Lord.
00:41:32.180
That's why there's always, you hear the voice of God, the breath, the music tells our story.
00:41:44.020
If this is our Grammys, if this is our music award, what story are we telling?
00:41:58.900
Just to give you a glimpse of what our story is, of what our culture is, the breakout performance
00:42:05.160
of the night, trending all over Twitter, considered the most magnificent thing all night at the
00:42:10.680
Grammys, it involved neither singing nor dancing.
00:43:03.920
I know I sound like a fuddy-duddy, but I'm right, so I don't really care.
00:43:24.040
At least if it's just percussion, but there's dancing.
00:43:26.460
At least there's something artistic about that.
00:43:29.760
It was just her sitting around, lying around, humping the floor briefly.
00:43:39.560
And it was the breakout performance of the night.
00:43:46.000
And if politics is downstream of culture, as we always talk about, what sort of politics comes out of that culture?
00:43:53.220
What sort of government is a people who define themselves by that culture?
00:44:14.140
Obviously, our culture has been declining for a very long time now.
00:44:23.860
What tradition are we really talking about here?
00:44:35.360
She comes out in a crazy dress that's right-wing.
00:44:44.800
which was like a picture of a little baby in the womb
00:45:08.720
And now, some conservatives won't talk about this.
00:45:29.060
What we're talking about here is you've got this woman,
00:45:32.960
Joy Villa, wore a right-wing dress to the Grammys,
00:45:57.340
Before we go, we have to talk about the papal visit to Abu Dhabi.
00:45:59.880
I was actually supposed to go to this last week,
00:46:06.640
It was the first ever visit by a pope to the Arabian Peninsula.
00:46:10.880
For so long, there has been a movement to expel Jews and Christians from Arabia,
00:46:21.080
invited Pope Francis to come to meet with Sheikh Ahmed el-Tayyib,
00:46:28.820
and to have there was an open-air papal mass for 120,000 people.
00:46:37.720
And what Pope Francis railed against here was it wasn't against global warming
00:46:56.980
They were both railing against the radicalism that led to the atheism
00:47:01.340
that we've been dealing with for the last 300 years or so.
00:47:06.700
It was predicted, the Catholic Herald pointed this out,
00:47:09.280
this was predicted in Pope Benedict's 2006 Regensburg lecture,
00:47:14.120
the most important oration of the 21st century.
00:47:16.940
Pope Benedict, obviously considered widely a very conservative figure,
00:47:20.100
he predicted this, that the real threat to our civilization is faithless modernity.
00:47:28.680
This narrow scientism that ignores all of the grand questions.
00:47:41.520
have no place within the purview of collective reason.
00:47:51.160
one, after so much Christian persecution in the Middle East,
00:47:54.780
you have an Arab government inviting the Pope in.
00:48:03.300
But what you also have is an interesting discourse going on
00:48:08.020
between Christians and Muslims against faithlessness, against modernity.
00:48:17.960
I think the great threat to the West that will corrode us and eat us out from within
00:48:26.380
is this pathetic culture of nihilism that has created anxiety, depression,
00:48:31.360
over-prescription, suicide, epidemics all over the West.
00:48:37.260
There are some people who fear invading Muslim migrants or something in Europe.
00:48:44.000
You have an issue when you have huge populations invading countries.
00:48:47.080
But what allowed the countries to be eaten out from within?
00:48:52.020
It is cutting away the tradition on which you have built your civilization.
00:48:55.820
The very ideas that allow you to have Western science, Western philosophy, Western thought.
00:49:03.080
By cutting those off at the root, that is the great threat to our civilization.
00:49:06.980
I think it's why the mainstream media won't cover this event.
00:49:10.320
And you know I've been very harsh on the Francis pontificate
00:49:32.020
If I don't see you there, I will be back in the studio coming up soon.
00:49:46.260
The Michael Knowles Show is produced by Robert Sterling.
00:50:05.060
The Michael Knowles Show is a Daily Wire production.
00:50:09.040
Hey guys, over on the Matt Walsh Show today, we're going to talk about this very disturbing
00:50:14.140
report about the sex abuse crisis in the Southern Baptist Church.
00:50:19.800
So there's a lot to discuss there, and we'll get to that today.
00:50:22.600
Also, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, you know, she unveiled that insane Green New Deal proposal
00:50:30.000
And ever since then, she's been trying to backpedal and come up with excuses for some of the craziest
00:50:38.100
So we'll try to get to the bottom of that today as well, over on the Matt Walsh Show.
