The Michael Knowles Show

00:00:00.000 Today, we are joined by the former host of Zonation on PJTV, the current host of The Zoloft,

00:00:07.000 the current drummer for 20-pound sledge and author of Pulitzer Prize-winning political treatise

00:00:12.520 Weapon of Ass Destruction, the one and only Zoe Rachel. We will analyze why the left can't take

00:00:18.600 a joke. Then, Ariel Davidson and Jacob Airy join the panel of deplorables. We'll discuss the

00:00:24.480 convenient changes to hysterical global warming predictions, the Google Memo guy's admiration

00:00:29.920 for KKK titles, and Jimmy Kimmel's latest humorless political rant, his latest one, not the one from

00:00:35.300 yesterday, the new one. And finally, all of your questions will be answered in the mailbag. I'm

00:00:39.840 Michael Knowles, and this is The Michael Knowles Show. Before we get into it with Zoe, we have to

00:00:51.620 just set all of this up. Yesterday, we played Kimmel, and Kimmel was whining about some political

00:00:57.020 nonsense. So he's back at it again today. This is his latest threat to pound the Fox and Friends

00:01:03.700 co-host, Brian Kilmeade. Let's show it.

00:01:06.600 This has been a show.

00:01:10.520 He follows me on Twitter. He asked me to write a blurb for his book, which I did. He calls my agent

00:01:16.620 looking for projects. He's dying to be a member of the Hollywood elite. The only reason he's not a

00:01:22.000 member of the Hollywood elite is because nobody will hire him to be one. And, you know, the reason

00:01:26.100 I'm talking about this is because my son had an open-heart surgery and has to have two more, and because

00:01:31.280 of that, I learned that there are kids with no insurance in the same situation. I don't get anything out of

00:01:35.700 this. Brian, you phony little creep. Oh, I'll pound you when I see you. That is my blurb.

00:01:45.400 What did I watch? What am I watching? I thought this was supposed to be a comedy show. It is funny,

00:01:49.840 I guess. It's funny to laugh at him rather than with Jimmy Kimmel. We are so lucky to have Zoe

00:01:56.180 Rachel here today. Zoe, first question. Why has the left lost its sense of humor?

00:02:01.440 You know, there was a time when they were funny, huh? I mean, there was... Sort of, maybe, right?

00:02:08.580 Well, no. I mean, there was a time when we had TV shows. You know, it sucks when you find out that

00:02:13.340 these people that you thought were so funny. You know, when we were kids, you know, we sneak

00:02:16.220 downstairs, you know, in the basement or something, and we watch their shows. These guys are hilarious,

00:02:19.980 and then you get older and you find out what their views are, and it's such a disappointment. It's a real

00:02:24.780 letdown. Yeah, it's like, why is the host of the man show with the juggies who just, like,

00:02:29.740 shotguns beers on camera? Why is he lecturing me about health care policy? And that's another

00:02:34.060 thing. They're supposed to be like, oh, well, I guess that's their idea of being pro-women while

00:02:38.160 they have these chauvinistic shows. But yeah, they have lost their sense of humor, you know,

00:02:43.480 whatever that was, and why that is, you know, I think possibly it's because they want to be seen

00:02:50.240 as something deeper than comedians, all the while hiding behind being a comedian. Because when they get

00:02:56.300 called out for trying to make their, you know, their deep political statement, and it backlashes

00:03:01.580 on, it's like, well, I'm just a comedian. You guys should have a sense of humor. It's the Jon Stewart

00:03:04.900 thing, right? I'm an entertainer. Clown knows on, clown knows off. You want to have your cake and

00:03:09.180 eat it too. That's it. That's it. But you know what's weird? Because at first I thought the reason

00:03:13.980 they're losing their minds and they're not making jokes anymore is because they hate Trump. Trump's been

00:03:18.780 the big change. But they were kind of funny under Bush. There was Jon Stewart. There was Colbert.

00:03:23.860 They were both pretty funny. So what, what is it about Trump? It's not just any Republican,

00:03:27.920 right? Well, I guess Trump is funny without even trying because it's with Trump, you know,

00:03:33.140 he, he doesn't, it's not like he really says much. It's not like he says anything really deep,

00:03:37.000 you know, not, not trying to come down on Trump, but it's not saying that he's not able to. It's

00:03:41.480 just, he just does it, you know, and it, and it causes them to start biting or, you know,

00:03:45.900 you know, chomping and stuff like that to try to get under his skin, but it's having,

00:03:50.040 it's backfiring and it's causing them to get under their own skin as their head goes up their own.

00:03:54.980 Nevermind. Yeah. I'm, there's a lot going on anatomically. The, you're right though. Well,

00:04:00.300 you make the point about Trump's just not taking it, but he's also, he is funny himself. Yeah. So

00:04:06.480 he'll set, you know, in that debate, you remember that debate with Megyn Kelly and she says, you've

00:04:11.140 said this about women and you've said this and this and this about women. And he just leans in and he

00:04:15.100 says, only Rosie O'Donnell. And that is this great punchline. And I don't know, maybe it's,

00:04:20.560 they're not used to a guy and he's, he's one of them, right? He is a Hollywood elite. He's been a

00:04:25.980 celebrity forever. Right. He was sort of a Democrat. And so he's funny and they can't take it. They

00:04:32.080 don't know how to react when someone can throw it back just as well as they can throw it. But it's

00:04:37.060 amazing too. I mean, you've been, you've been around Hollywood a very long time. The way that

00:04:41.600 Kimmel talks about, he says, Brian Kilmeade wants to be in the Hollywood elite. He wants to be,

00:04:46.560 but he's a loser because he's not in the Hollywood elite. Well, the, the, the funny thing you said

00:04:50.540 was that they won't hire him. It was like, I didn't know that you got hired to be, it's like,

00:04:53.860 is that like on an application or a job description? I'm here for the job to be a Hollywood elite. I

00:04:58.460 didn't know that's how it worked on monster.com. I said, like, yeah, the ideal job would be a

00:05:03.160 Hollywood elite. Uh, my qualifications, uh, I'm divorced multiple times and I do a lot of drugs.

00:05:08.040 Will that get me in? I don't know. That, that, that would look good on a resume for Hollywood

00:05:11.780 elite. And it's, you know, I just, you know, they won't admit that, Hey, maybe he's just not

00:05:15.580 willing to do the brown nosing that they did to get to where they are, you know, and, uh, just,

00:05:19.980 you know, really kissing the behinds of the right people to get to where they are.

00:05:23.080 And it is. So you've been in Hollywood a long time and you basically are, you were at the forefront

00:05:28.320 of conservative new media, right? You're, you get to, you're, you're doing videos on like

00:05:33.360 MySpace. You're completely cutting edge in conservative commentary. And then Breitbart

00:05:39.760 discovered you, Andrew Breitbart, some of the other people, Bill Whittle, all those guys

00:05:44.400 discover you. I guess so, man. You know, cause, uh, MySpace, well, that's going back. Uh, that's

00:05:49.040 in the time machine right there. Uh, you were doing, you were doing videos on like telegraphs,

00:05:53.320 you know, you were doing, yeah, no, but you were right at the beginning of this conservative

00:05:57.760 internet culture. That's where you are. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I was doing MySpace. That was

00:06:01.620 like 2007 and, uh, you know, started to take off a bit. And then some, I didn't even know

00:06:06.140 about YouTube. That's how under a rock I was. And, um, somebody said, you should put this

00:06:09.960 stuff up on YouTube. And when I did, they started going viral and, uh, you know, I got

00:06:13.640 contacted by some people. Long story short, I ended up on PJ TV, you know, so I was, I

00:06:17.940 was, uh, I guess one of those, uh, lonely people in front of my brick wall, you know, doing

00:06:22.640 this, uh, you know, uh, rant from a conservative angle. And, um, it was well received at the

00:06:28.760 time. And it, those guys, Andrew Breitbart, you know, was kind of at the forefront of

00:06:33.680 all of that, but PJ TV, Roger Simon, Bill Whittle, all, all those guys were doing something

00:06:39.280 completely new. The conservatives had been shut out of the media, shut out of the mainstream

00:06:44.100 comedy, politics, entertainment culture. And then this internet exuberance happens and you

00:06:52.240 break through. How is it different today than it was in 2007?

00:06:55.000 Well, it's different today because I guess, uh, you know, the, the, as, as I call them

00:06:59.220 the liberal internet overlords, you know, who, who basically facilitated these platforms,

00:07:04.080 you know, for us to do the, you're talking about YouTube, like YouTube. Yeah, man, you

00:07:07.860 know, it, uh, when they realized that our voice was that, you know, potent, um, what change

00:07:14.880 was is that they started putting limits on it. And I, you know, I'm not trying to toot my

00:07:20.000 own horn here, but I kind of been saying for a while, it's like, I don't think we should

00:07:22.820 be dependent on their platforms that much as much, you know, or as much as we

00:07:27.200 are. I think we need to create something competitive where we can have our own. So

00:07:30.840 in case, you know, they decide to, you know, drop the curtain on us, you know, we

00:07:34.140 have, uh, you know, some recourse and, uh, right now, you know, we're feeling the

00:07:38.940 effects of that.

00:07:39.700 Yeah. And you know, I, we have all the time on, uh, Ali Stuckey, Roman Millennial, Fleckus

00:07:44.080 Talks, all these big right wing YouTubers, Crowder, Nakei Jared, and their, their revenues

00:07:50.220 are being cut by 60, 70%. Our revenues have been cut dramatically. The, so they're clearly

00:07:55.500 going after that. The, the funny thing I was struck with, I was looking at some of your

00:07:59.920 early videos today. This is a video from 2010 from Zonation. Man, this is weird. Illegal

00:08:07.680 immigrants and their so-called sympathizers believe they're being mistreated by our American

00:08:11.980 government. But wait, isn't it the government of the country you left the one that mistreats

00:08:16.420 you? Yeah, I believe it is. Why don't you protest that government? The government of your country

00:08:21.800 of origin treats its citizens like crap and you take it out on us. And a lot of what that

00:08:26.920 is, is catharsis. Your life sucks. And trust me, you don't have to be poor for your life

00:08:31.540 to suck. But your life sucks. And this is an event for you to vent your frustration and

00:08:35.680 look for any excuse to whine about how much your butt hurts and drag as many people as

00:08:39.740 you can into your misery.

00:08:53.120 You got these angry protesters running around with their hoodies on and look like a

00:08:56.840 bunch of little unabombers acting a straight fool because they reckon if they throw enough

00:09:00.860 of a hissy fit, they'll get their way.

00:09:03.920 That video was made seven years ago. That could have been made seven hours ago. That is describing

00:09:10.280 exactly what is the main story in the news right now. Does anything change? Does anything

00:09:16.380 ever change in politics?

00:09:17.780 No. No, it doesn't. And that's the thing, man. This has been going on since God knows

00:09:22.660 when and it just, it gets recycled and we know how, you know, liberals love recycling and

00:09:28.020 that's exactly what's happening. It's just recycled over and over again.

00:09:30.680 This is the first time that I think I'd be willing to recycle is to pull back some of these

00:09:34.460 videos that so, so where's it going to head? Where's it? I mean, right now you're, you're

00:09:39.040 drummer for 20 pounds sledge. You, you're still putting out videos, even though YouTube's

00:09:43.100 trying to just squeeze them and crush them as much as they can. Where does it head? The conservative

00:09:48.480 movement, the conservative and the entertainment movement, you know, these satirical videos

00:09:54.360 that come out, what's the future look like for it? Or are we going to be just totally

00:09:59.380 squeezed out and have to come up with our own platform?

00:10:02.720 Well, I think, uh, it's definitely going to have, there, it's going to take another platform.

00:10:07.080 It's going to take being independent, you know, with our work. Um, and it's going to take

00:10:12.340 that support, man. It's, it's, um, you know, the idea of, uh, I'm, I'm looking at what the

00:10:18.140 liberals have done. You know, this is what they do and this is what they still do to promote their

00:10:22.260 ideology. They're in everything and they're in everything. And conservatives really have to learn

00:10:26.940 how to compete in that arena. Uh, support is, you know, we're, we're so big on defense,

00:10:32.440 you know, we want, you know, we're pro defense. Well, you're going to need a defense mechanism

00:10:36.520 in the cultural arena too. Not just in the military war, right? Exactly. If you want to

00:10:42.580 sustain political conservative representation, well, you're going to have to have cultural

00:10:47.360 representation to be underneath that to, you know, for them to consent, you know, if we're,

00:10:52.320 you know, governed by our consent, we're going to have to have a culture that consents to that,

00:10:55.260 but we don't have that. And what is your Christian, you obviously play Christian music. You,

00:11:00.340 Christianity is in a lot of your videos. What is conservatism to you?

00:11:06.520 Conservatism to me is, is, um, you have to understand that you can't have your freedom

00:11:12.020 at the forced expense of somebody else. When you recognize what the constitution is and what,

00:11:18.020 and what laws it recognizes, but not what laws it creates that, that, uh, uh, facilitates the

00:11:23.480 rights of man, but the laws that it recognizes given by our creator. When you recognize that and

00:11:28.220 say that, okay, there is a balance of freedom here. You're free to do this. Now I know that a lot of

00:11:33.360 libertarians, like really appreciate this. Yeah, that's right. But no, it's conservatism

00:11:37.940 because you have this set of freedom that goes against this set of freedom and it has to balance.

00:11:42.780 So, so, so say for instance, like, uh, uh, libertarians going to get mad at me, but I have

00:11:46.840 to, I have to give this example. Like, uh, they'll say, uh, you know, what a woman does with her body

00:11:51.640 should be her business. Yeah. Right. This is, you know, and the government shouldn't have any say,

00:11:55.220 but here's the thing that woman's right to do that is affecting someone else's right.

00:12:00.660 What I thought the baby was just like a little scab or something. It was like a little piece

00:12:04.400 of tissue that is attached to the woman. Yeah. But you know, even a lot of libertarians will say

00:12:08.720 that, look, I personally, I'm not pro abortion, but what a person does. But the thing is, you can't

00:12:13.820 say that without, the only reason why you would say that is recognizing the personhood of the kids.

00:12:18.040 Whenever I hear that, this is what I hear. I hear, well, I would never kill my beautiful little

00:12:22.880 precious child, but I would love all of those poor people to get rid of theirs. So I don't need to pay

00:12:26.700 for their welfare. That's what I hear every time they say that argument, because you have to ask,

00:12:30.460 well, why wouldn't you do it? Why wouldn't you get that abortion? Exactly. And then when you,

00:12:35.120 once you go down that road, if you feel like you're entitled to kill the kid, you're going to feel

00:12:39.040 entitled for somebody else to pay for it. So it's a self-eating snake and it doesn't really follow

00:12:43.420 to the conclusion. That's why I say you have a conservative interpretation of the constitution

00:12:46.660 that recognizes this balance of rights. And that creator too. Exactly. You know, and it's,

00:12:52.200 this isn't a man-made ordinance. You have to have the acknowledgement that we're endowed with

00:12:58.160 this, or this is an inherent right that's put there by our creator. So I totally buy it. Let's

00:13:03.540 get some other views on what conservatism is. We have Ariel Davidson coming to us from Skype,

00:13:09.460 from the Hoover Institution and the Daily Wire's very own Jacob Aries joining on the couch.

00:13:15.880 You are so lucky, Jacob. You get to sit next to royalty like this in studio. Ariel's coming to us

00:13:21.240 from the Hoover Institution. What do you think? Does Zoe make the right point? I want these two

00:13:26.500 questions. One, why is the left so unfunny? And what is conservatism to you?

00:13:33.140 Well, why is the left so unfunny? Well, I think they've, I think it really comes down to the fact

00:13:38.460 that victimhood is now the most celebrated virtue on the left end of the spectrum. So they've prioritized

00:13:44.420 not offending anyone as the ultimate good. Um, but in the same token, being a person who is offended

00:13:50.400 is also seen as an ultimate good. And so comedy is inherently, I think, politically incorrect. Um,

00:13:56.480 and so there is going to, they're definitely going to butt heads in terms of what comedy's objectives

00:14:00.960 are and what the left's ultimate objectives are. Um, you know, if we look back at comedians like John

00:14:06.160 Cleese, Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, all of these gentlemen won't perform on college campuses anymore.

00:14:10.960 Um, they, they explicitly won't because they think that college campuses have become too conservative

00:14:17.040 and not too conservative in the sense that everyone's voting Republican. They're too

00:14:20.800 conservative in the sense of what's allowable and what's not allowable. Um, conservatism to me in

00:14:26.720 general, I, you know, I think that we go back to, you know, the founding fathers and their principles.

00:14:31.900 We go back to, um, Aristotelian views and John Locke. I look at conservatism from the mindset of you

00:14:38.920 are, your rights do not come from the government. They come from God. Um, and they are inherent to

00:14:44.120 you and they're not something gifted by daddy government. And this is something that, you know,

00:14:48.920 when we talk about freedom of speech, freedom of religion, um, the right to bear arms, these are

00:14:54.280 not gifts that the government bequeaths upon us. These are things that we inherently have as human

00:14:58.920 beings. Uh, the right to life being a huge one that we just talked about. So conservatism to me is

00:15:04.660 really, you know, government is a social compact agreement that we enter into as individuals. Uh,

00:15:10.220 we, we give up a little bit of power over ourselves, but in general, you know, I think

00:15:15.280 restoring the power of the individual is what should be the objective of the conservative movement

00:15:20.120 moving forward. Absolutely. And I think that's why those two questions are pretty related. What is

00:15:25.680 conservatism and why has the left lost its sense of humor? I think there is in comedy, there's an

00:15:32.440 ultimately, uh, conservative base to it. Even though a lot of comedians are left-wing,

00:15:38.680 they'll vote for Democrats, though some of the greatest do not. The greatest comedian of the

00:15:42.520 20th century, Bob Hope was a Republican. The greatest living comedian right now is Nora McDonald

00:15:48.200 avoids political classification, but the guy's at least not a liberal Democrat. So Ron White,

00:15:54.080 I love Ron White. He's great. Yeah. I mean, there are wonderful. Yeah. And I, the reason I think

00:15:58.740 is that the conservative view of the world is non-ideological. It kind of accepts the world

00:16:03.720 for what it is. It accepts the tragic, tragic fact of life. It affects, it accepts our fallen

00:16:10.580 nature as people. And then it makes jokes about that. It, it subverts your expectation to have a

00:16:15.640 comedic, uh, ending, but with people who are utopian or with people who are constantly idealistic or

00:16:24.240 deeply ideological, there's no, you can't make a joke about that. They delve so far into the absurd,

00:16:30.220 so far away from what we know is our lived experience of the world that you can't laugh

00:16:35.160 at it. There's no standard against which to laugh. Well, if you think there's also this belief that

00:16:40.460 you're making a joke about something that you're inherently degrading it. And the left has sort of

00:16:44.780 ascribed to this idea of universal values that everything is equal, just different. And so if you're

00:16:50.040 inherently making fun of something or poking fun at it, you're degrading it. And thereby saying

00:16:54.720 one culture of belief system practice is better than the other. And that's a big no-no

00:16:59.520 in terms of leftist logic. So I think it kind of circles back to this idea of universal values,

00:17:04.780 which is a very popular notion on the left and actually within sort of the neoconservative

00:17:09.440 limit as well, I'd say too. But that's a standard liberals don't stick to though.

00:17:13.040 You know, they, they, you know, as the saying goes, uh, if liberals didn't have, uh,

00:17:17.760 uh, double standards, they wouldn't have any standards at all. And as far as conservatives

00:17:22.380 go, you know, I don't think we're as opportunistic or opportunistic as people try to make us out

00:17:27.300 to be and looking to try to, because if we were, we would have a smorgasbord of parody

00:17:33.820 and lampooning for, because they, that's what they give us all day long. They give us stuff

00:17:38.280 to joke about all day long. And it's almost tragic that there isn't like something to just

00:17:43.100 constantly, uh, uh, we should have just like an army, a legion of, of people, you know,

00:17:49.080 making fun of these people and you're on the front lines because you're, you're doing a great

00:17:53.060 job of it. It's what we need more. You see, you're too unique for your own good, man.

00:17:56.880 You know, but we need more of this, you know, this, you know, usually I'll, I only bring on

00:18:03.820 the all female panels of these beautiful women to come on every single day, but it's nice every

00:18:08.140 once in a while to get some guys on to finally give me a compliment. I really appreciate it.

00:18:11.680 Yeah, you got it, brother.

00:18:13.680 We need to get to the very important news. This actually is great news today. According to courts,

00:18:21.820 as of April, 2017, the IPCC, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's carbon budget for keeping

00:18:29.080 temperature rise below 1.5 degrees centigrade was approximately 160 billion metric tons of carbon

00:18:36.180 dioxide. Now, a new study published in Nature Geoscience seems to have changed the game.

00:18:41.960 It suggests that the 1.5 degrees centigrade carbon budget may now be closer to 800 billion metric tons

00:18:49.500 that would buy the world as much as 20 years at current emissions levels. All of that summed up

00:18:55.980 means that the Paris Climate Accord was sold to us that we must sign it now. If we wait even one

00:19:04.000 single minute, the entire world will explode. Now is the time. We're the ones we've been waiting

00:19:08.380 for. Then Trump says no. He says, sorry, too bad. And now they say, well, okay, we have a little bit

00:19:13.840 more time, but you really have to do it now. Now is the time. Forget what we said before. This is the

00:19:18.800 real one. Jacob, that is pretty convenient. Everybody says that we have to sign onto that accord and now

00:19:27.000 they seem to move the needle. Is that what they're doing? Is this just absolutely moving goalposts,

00:19:32.680 completely cynical, or are they really just confused about the science?

00:19:36.460 I honestly think they're just moving goalposts. Every time they set something up, it either

00:19:41.860 doesn't happen or it's an anecdotal event. And so they move it back every so often. They do this

00:19:49.560 every five years. I was reading somewhere that I believe it was in the Guardian. They said,

00:19:54.900 we really need to talk about global warming because of this new science. I think Leonardo DiCaprio

00:19:59.720 donated $20 million to fund some research. And it's like, what a waste of money. Give us a good

00:20:06.520 movie you could use that $20 million for. But I guarantee you, 20 years down the road, when your

00:20:12.280 show enters its 20th season, the three of us will have this conversation. You'll be asking,

00:20:16.640 are they going to move the goalposts again? And I'll just repeat this over and over again.

00:20:20.640 Well, I guess the rapture is going to happen on Monday, as the Christian numerologists predict.

00:20:24.120 But if not for that, yeah, I don't think global warming would be the thing to take us down.

00:20:28.960 Ariel, from this same article, from the same report, they say that the range of prediction

00:20:34.900 on how much carbon dioxide will be the threshold is between negative 200 billion tons and positive

00:20:43.560 1,000 billion tons. That is a pretty wide range. Isn't that the point? Aren't they undergirding

00:20:51.120 their own point that perhaps the chaotic systems and complex systems like the climate

00:20:57.960 are not predictable 100 or 200 or 500 years in the future?

00:21:02.840 Absolutely. I think what it comes down to is that this study is pretty validating for climate

00:21:08.060 skeptics. And when I say climate skeptics, I'm not saying that people don't think the environment

00:21:13.620 goes through some sort of cyclical changes. I agree with that. That's a given. But I do think we

00:21:18.740 need to take a hard look at the science that's being used. And clearly, you know, if this study

00:21:23.380 is coming out and it's questioning the sort of level or pace of warming that the Earth is going

00:21:28.380 through, then maybe we should be sitting down and pausing, especially if we're making tremendous

00:21:32.400 decisions about our own economy and the global economy in general, based off of these scientific

00:21:37.120 studies.

00:21:37.660 Wait, but hold on. You're telling me that just because all the models are constantly getting

00:21:42.240 it wrong and they're constantly changing, we shouldn't destroy the entire global economy for them?

00:21:46.720 No, we probably need to sit down and think long and hard about it. And that's something

00:21:51.480 that's not really done because people sort of, you know, they say, if you at all are questioning

00:21:55.440 the science, if you at all are questioning the science, then you are an idiot, you're a bigot,

00:22:01.880 you're closed minded, you're willing to destroy the Earth. No, I just want to have a frank and

00:22:06.500 honest conversation about, you know, what kind of regulations are we putting in place? And are they

00:22:11.040 actually going to be effective at what we're trying to do? And furthermore, what is it that we're

00:22:15.100 trying to do? Right? I mean, what, what is the impact of mankind on the climate? Do we

00:22:19.820 really know? Is that something that is quantifiable?

00:22:22.100 But Ariel, you certainly would agree that if you don't get down on your knees and worship

00:22:25.860 the science, then you are a sinner damned to hell, right?

00:22:30.020 Yes.

00:22:30.800 Okay. Well, it's that. All right. I'm glad we're going to have a reasonable discussion.

00:22:33.560 So I can atone for, you know, I can, I can ask for forgiveness.

00:22:36.240 You better get to that atoning, my dear. So how long before the left changes its model again?

00:22:41.840 Would you say like 15 minutes or a day or two? I think that's a good measure right there, man.

00:22:46.300 That's a good measure. And it all sounds like 800 billion metric tons of crap.

00:22:52.200 It's heavy, man. It's like, there's 800 metric billion metric tons of crap holding us together

00:22:57.720 right now. And, you know, and I like watching the science channel, you know, and I, I, I dig,

00:23:03.160 you know, you want to talk about people who contradict themselves, you know, Oh, the Bible

00:23:06.000 contradicts it. No, the science channel contradicts itself. Now their whole thing is that they want

00:23:10.220 to colonize Mars. Right. But they say that Mars has gone through global warming. And I'm

00:23:15.640 like, how is like, are we so evil that we caused global warming on Mars before we even started

00:23:21.760 colonizing it? We are worse than I thought. It's almost like that person's, Oh, I gained

00:23:27.540 10 pounds. Just thinking about pies. I do. Did we cause global warming? They're just thinking

00:23:32.220 about terraforming. Yeah. No, Mars gained 800 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide. Just us

00:23:38.080 thinking about it. Yeah, absolutely. Right. Well, I know you all want to hear the most

00:23:43.020 important news, which is Google memo writer, James Damore's comments about the KKK. You want

00:23:48.180 more Ariel. You want more Jacob Berry. Maybe you definitely want more Zoe Rachel, but you

00:23:53.680 can't get it unless you go to dailywire.com right now. You got to go. We thank you all of the

00:23:58.440 current subscribers and you can go over and watch the rest of the show. But if you're on Facebook

00:24:02.440 and YouTube, you're on the fence. You say, I don't know if I want to subscribe. It's $10 a

00:24:07.200 month or $100 a year. I guess it's not that much, but what do I get? Well, you get me.

00:24:11.140 Okay. You get the Andrew Klavan show. Yeah. You get the Ben Shapiro show. Fine.

00:24:17.560 This, this is what you get. The leftist tears tumbler. This is the most beautiful vessel for

00:24:25.800 leftist tears in the entire country. We have a Jimmy Kimmel vintage right now that we're offering

00:24:31.100 in this. You can serve Jimmy Kimmel's tears, hot or cold, always salty and delicious. And

00:24:36.780 it's indestructible. It's made out of crushed up Steven Crowder mugs. So we've, we've boiled

00:24:42.380 them down to their essence. Good luck trying to destroy this thing. Go over there right

00:24:47.360 now. Dailywire.com. We'll be right back. The engineer fired for anti-diversity Google memo.

00:25:04.680 His name is James Damore has now sparked outrage by branding KKK titles. Cool. He said, quote,

00:25:11.660 the KKK is horrible and I don't support them in any way, but, buts negate sentences, but can we admit

00:25:18.460 that their internal title names are cool? E.g. Grand Wizard. He also said, you know, you've moralized

00:25:25.020 an issue when you can't criticize its heroes or acknowledge any positive aspect of its villains.

00:25:31.100 And finally, he said, quote, if you make the actual KKK, the only place where you can acknowledge the

00:25:36.640 coolness of Dungeons and Dragons terms, then you'll just push people into the KKK. So

00:25:41.620 which is less cool, the KKK or Dungeons and Dragons? Oh man. Uh, can we throw in a third

00:25:48.040 category of KKK playing Dungeons and Dragons? Oh yeah. That would be, that would be a level of

00:25:53.580 the Grand Wizard playing with the Grand Wizard. Absolutely. I actually don't know which I know

00:25:58.180 less about the KKK or Dungeons and Dragons, but I don't think either. I think, you know,

00:26:02.760 learning about Dungeons and Dragons, you'll learn all you need to know about the KKK and which,

00:26:06.420 which is important, you know, and if I may, you know, on a sobering note, let's make a distinction

00:26:10.100 about, you know, cause people want to say the KKK or some, you know, radical Christian

00:26:13.880 organization. It's like, look, you don't have an organization that has titles like Grand Wizard,

00:26:18.700 Exalted Cyclops, Quorum of Centaurs, uh, you know, that have these pagan names that you will not find

00:26:26.380 in the Bible. It's not a Christian organization. It's a, it's a fraternity that's built, that has

00:26:30.740 its hierarchy built more on paganism. That's like, like the alt-right or the Nazi party.

00:26:35.340 Right. It has nothing to do with us. And two, in terms of nicknames for the KKK, they already have

00:26:40.740 the best and most appropriate nickname for themselves, the Invisible Empire. The Democrats

00:26:46.720 are the Invisible Empire. They're the ones who created the KKK and you don't, and it's like,

00:26:50.860 it's amazing that people don't see what they do. You know, it's like, you don't see the man behind

00:26:55.760 the curtain. And just like the Democrats, you know, who have founded the KKK, if they don't

00:27:00.040 like what you're doing, they'll make you invisible. That's why conservatives are disappearing.

00:27:04.420 It is true. They share all of the same premises, the importance of identity politics, the need of

00:27:10.720 creating more racial, uh, disarmament in the country. And they were founded as the terrorist

00:27:15.440 wing of the democratic party. And also, uh, they're, they're, uh, how they despise the Jews.

00:27:19.640 Same thing. Democrats today, they despise Jews. Well, everybody hates the Jews. So I think you would

00:27:23.840 admit throughout all of history from the beginning of time to the present, it's make me mad. Sometimes

00:27:29.100 secular Jews, I do. I actually think it's because they're God's people. Everybody hates them. That's

00:27:35.000 like the Bible tells us that's going to happen. Jacob is James Damore serious or is his comment

00:27:42.000 esoteric and perhaps ironic, merely trying to provoke a reaction from the left. I think he's just trying

00:27:47.540 to get his 15 minutes of fame back. Honestly, I went to 16 or 17. Yeah. Fair enough. I honestly

00:27:53.460 think whenever he first came on conservatives radars, I was like, guys, this guy's a leftist. I

00:27:58.500 mean, I guess a liberal, maybe not a full-on leftist, but if you read the whole memo, like he really

00:28:03.460 goes after religious people. And so I honestly think this is just another him just trying to do

00:28:10.020 something just to stir up. So he'll be in the news again. I, I think like you said, it's just esoteric,

00:28:14.660 just trying to gin up more controversy.

00:28:16.540 Mm-hmm. Ariel, is it, is Jacob right? Is it just these 15 minutes of fame or is he,

00:28:23.580 is he trying to make a point? Does he have any point that we should be able to say that

00:28:28.040 some aspect of a terrorist organization is interesting or admirable or something like

00:28:33.900 that? Or is he just an attention whore? I mean, I really think this goes back to what we've talked

00:28:39.160 about on a few prior shows and what we talked about before, basically looking at if you're saying,

00:28:43.360 if you say anything radical or, you know, crazy or stupid, you'll get enough attention. And all

00:28:50.240 publicity seems to be good publicity now, because then you'll trend on Twitter and you'll have people

00:28:54.480 talking about you and blogging about you and putting out puff pieces about you. And you know

00:28:59.220 what, honestly, I thought it was a really stupid comment. Um, and I think that I agree with Jacob

00:29:04.400 a hundred percent that it was really just a cry for attention. Um, but I think given sort of the

00:29:09.640 controversy around the Google memo, that aside, it was just a very, it was very poorly sort of

00:29:15.600 associated with what he had done in the past. Right. So he's already got the microscope on him.

00:29:20.660 And this was just, I think a very, very stupid move personally. If I were like, if I were in charge

00:29:25.760 of his PR, I would just be like, I don't know what you're doing. Especially for those of us who

00:29:29.700 defended his completely innocuous memo. Now the guy goes out and he to probably just to get

00:29:36.440 attention is making comments that could be interpreted as, as, uh, agilatory at the KKK.

00:29:42.040 Yeah. It damages his credibility. Right. And so now people are going to go look at that memo and

00:29:46.220 say, wait a minute, he, he might be a bigot. You know, he might have these views that are,

00:29:50.520 you know, not combat compatible as a free society. So, you know, I think he undoes a lot of the,

00:29:56.800 and unfortunately he undoes some of the credit he gained from the past of, of, of writing that very

00:30:01.740 well thought out memo. So meanwhile, you have actual bigots and, and people like Democrat

00:30:09.140 Valerie Plame, who just today tweeted out an anti-Jewish tweet, a clearly anti-Semitic tweet

00:30:14.380 on Rosh Hashanah. On, on Rosh. Yeah, that's right. On Rosh Hashanah. Happy new year.

00:30:18.440 Happy new year. But people are talking about James Damore much more than that. They're saying

00:30:23.120 when the Klan hits your eye, like a big pizza pie, that's Damore. A funny line. Good job,

00:30:27.340 Twitter, whoever came up with it. But do you, we should talk about that a little bit. Valerie

00:30:31.760 Plame, of course, was the Democrat contrivance. That was a non-traversy, non-scandal during the

00:30:37.140 Bush administration. Ariel, do you have any reaction to it? I did. I had a few reactions,

00:30:43.100 but I'll try, I'll try to keep it short. You know, I thought what was interesting is that she's

00:30:46.840 been a contributor on various major news networks like CNN, I believe, and others. And many have

00:30:51.940 pointed this out though, that, you know, they're all worried about having Sean Spicer be a contributor.

00:30:56.100 Never mind that this woman posted a clearly anti-Semitic article suggesting that Jews should

00:31:02.340 announce on television before they give any opinion or foreign policy expertise, they should

00:31:07.100 announce that they're Jews, just so everyone knows where their loyalties might lie. This is the content

00:31:12.180 of the article, okay? But we all know how that's worked out in the past when Jews are forced to

00:31:16.080 wear badges or... Yeah, it's totally fine, right? It ends up, I haven't finished the book. I'm reading

00:31:21.280 a book about it now, but I hope it turns out all right. Yeah, no. So she is,

00:31:25.860 I mean, it was remarkable. And the best part about it was her defense was, I'm not anti-Semitic,

00:31:30.300 but you have to admit that there are many war hawks, neocons who are Jews. And I'm thinking,

00:31:35.320 okay. Then she goes on to explain further and she says, oh, you know, I didn't read the article

00:31:40.060 thoroughly enough and I wasn't sure of this platform. Please woman, you have literally

00:31:44.800 tweeted articles from this website and from this exact author many times in the past.

00:31:50.240 So pleading ignorance, do not fall for it. She is, you know, and she's also been an anti-Israel

00:31:55.300 activist from like as long as I can remember. She was part of the Plowshares echo chamber of Ben

00:32:01.980 Rhodes and pushing the Iran deal. So, you know, I tweeted this on Twitter earlier today, but, you

00:32:07.240 know, and nothing makes the Iran deal sweeter than a little anti-Semitism, right? She basically said

00:32:12.880 what Mel Gibson got in trouble for saying, a drunken Mel Gibson slurring his words and saying all sorts

00:32:18.860 of crazy things, said Jews started all the wars in the world. And then this woman completely soberly

00:32:23.460 said the same thing. And I bet that she won't be kicked out of Hollywood for a decade.

00:32:27.860 Oh no, she doubled down on it. And then people started right and left accepting her apology.

00:32:32.860 I'm like, are you kidding me? This woman is, she's pleading ignorance and do not fall for it.

00:32:37.240 She is lying. She knows exactly what she tweeted and she tried to defend it. So.

00:32:41.220 And it's not just her. Chelsea Handler, just a couple of days ago, said on her Netflix show,

00:32:48.320 she said that Stacey, Stacey Dash, Sheriff David Clark and Ben Carson are black white supremacists.

00:32:54.940 Where's the outrage? Where's the outrage machine? I mean, this is clearly a very racist statement that

00:33:00.760 that she made. And there's radio silence. Stacey Dash called her out on it on her new article for

00:33:06.800 Young Cons. But outside of that, silence. So would you also identify as a black white supremacist?

00:33:12.540 Well, I'm going to have to say no on that. And I got to send it to Chelsea Handler herself.

00:33:23.120 Only a white supremacist would assume, I tweeted this out, would assume to have the authority

00:33:29.360 to tell a black person what their disposition is supposed to be. That's the irony, right?

00:33:35.600 Who do you think you is? There's this total irony in the form of what they're saying. The very form

00:33:42.500 throws back their assertion onto themselves. Absolutely right. All right. Ariel, Jacob,

00:33:48.280 thank you for being here. Zoman, so good to have you in. Thank you so much. We now, unfortunately,

00:33:53.340 have to kick out the whole panel to talk about the mailbag. So now we have the first mailbag question

00:34:05.680 from Joe. Hey, Sir Knowles, just wondering about some relationship advice. I'm a constitutional

00:34:12.120 conservative. My girlfriend is left-wing in between Bernie and Marx. What do I do? To quote Don Corleone,

00:34:18.860 you're going to act like a man. What's the matter with you? That you, listen, I've pretty much

00:34:25.320 exclusively dated Democrats in my life because I'm from New York and went to a liberal college and I

00:34:29.880 live in LA. You know, listen, man, the conservative view of the world is the more correct view of the

00:34:35.420 world, much more so than some socialist like Bernie Sanders or Karl Marx. I'm not sure who's further

00:34:40.600 left. So just hang around there, act like a normal person, explain some things to her, like some very

00:34:48.300 basic economic and political principles and historical examples. And she'll come along.

00:34:53.720 If she's a semi, even close to reasonable person, you'll bring her right along. Not a big deal.

00:34:58.300 From Brian, dear Michael, master of trolls, Knowles, as an avid reader of Milton Friedman and Thomas Sowell

00:35:06.900 on free market economics, I often find myself in a position to defend this point of view against these

00:35:12.460 postmodern neo-Marxists saying that Marxism is the greatest economic philosophy of all time.

00:35:17.480 Then when I plead against Marxism cases like the Gulag archipelago, the Gulag and the Soviet Union,

00:35:22.520 and even newer examples about socialism doesn't work like Venezuela, they always reply, well, that's

00:35:27.340 not real Marxism. How can you combat this argument? This argument that, but that's not real Marxism.

00:35:32.740 You hear it all the time. You say, look, all of these terrible things have happened because of

00:35:37.040 communism. Everywhere communism has been tried. It's destroyed lives. It's brought more misery than

00:35:41.360 anything else in modernity. But they say that isn't real Marxism. This is an informal logical fallacy

00:35:47.820 called the no true Scotsman argument. And the no true Scotsman argument goes like this. No Scotsman

00:35:53.600 would ever have sugar in his porridge. And you say, well, my uncle is a Scotsman and has sugar in his

00:35:59.580 porridge. He says, well, no true Scotsman would do it. So you basically, you move the goalposts,

00:36:04.820 you change the classification to, you change your premise to suit your conclusion. So it isn't,

00:36:11.220 it isn't logically valid. And, and obviously in other historical contexts, they wouldn't make

00:36:17.960 the same distinction. Well, that isn't true capitalism. Well, that isn't true Americanism.

00:36:22.220 So just throw it back in their face. It's total bunk. From Gary, Michael, I just wanted you to know

00:36:28.600 that after watching your episode with Joy Villa and Kaya Jones, I upgraded my monthly subscription to

00:36:34.080 annual, something I was considering for a while, but your show brought the decision home. No question,

00:36:38.540 just an acknowledgement. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. And you lucky duck, you're going

00:36:42.700 to get that leftist here's Tumblr. That's great. Thank you. I appreciate the kind words. From John,

00:36:47.580 dear almighty troll King Knowles, as someone who has written a book with no words, do you have a

00:36:53.080 favorite word or phrase? Is there a word or phrase you find amusing to say, use a lot in conversation,

00:36:58.720 or that has special meaning to you? If not, is there a phrase or quote that you live by?

00:37:03.560 Churchill gave a line about this. He said, it's a good for an uneducated man to read books of

00:37:09.980 quotations. And I read that quote. And then I read a bunch of books of quotations. I do love reading

00:37:15.340 quotes and pull out. So I'll, uh, off the top of my head, there are two, there are two that I live by.

00:37:22.020 One is from Alexander Pope in his essay on man. He says, all nature is, but art unknown to thee,

00:37:28.840 all chance direction, which thou canst not see. I love that quote. I think it's really beautiful and

00:37:35.080 explains a semiotic view of the world and coincidences. And then of course, the word that

00:37:40.140 I live by every second of the day is covfefe. Covfefe. C-O-V-F-E-F-E. Next question from Monica.

00:37:49.180 Dear Michael, God help us Knowles. Why is it the English hate us, but seem obsessively interested

00:37:55.060 in us? Best Monica. Why do the English hate us, but seem so interested in us? Uh, it's because

00:38:00.920 the, uh, instead of the Queen's English, they would be speaking the Fuhrer's German. If it weren't for

00:38:06.080 us, they hate us because they ain't us. From Patrick. How has the price of a lap dance managed

00:38:12.480 to defy economics and inflation over the past decade? I am going to ignore the obvious pun

00:38:20.100 between lap dance and inflation and move right onto the question. That, that is interesting. I guess,

00:38:26.100 uh, I, uh, if the, if costs of lap dances haven't increased, it probably, probably the answer is

00:38:31.640 internet pornography, right? One presumes there's the same supply of strippers and therefore lap dances

00:38:39.180 that there ever was. It's probably keeping up with population growth, but the demand is probably

00:38:44.660 much lower now because 20 years ago or 30 years ago, if you wanted to engage in some just debaucherous

00:38:50.800 carousing and lust, you would have to go to your local dive and pay a lady to dance on you. But now

00:38:57.720 you can just close the blinds and from the comfort of your own room, uh, engage in, I think a $10

00:39:03.140 billion industry, which is internet pornography. So sad for the dancers and probably, probably sad for

00:39:09.020 our culture too, because porn industry is growing immensely. From Derek, how would America be

00:39:14.740 different if the founding fathers had not been Christian? Uh, it's, it's an impossible hypothetical

00:39:20.900 because it, uh, Christianity, it's an impossible in the situation because of the development of America,

00:39:27.820 but also in the development of the West. The only way that that would have happened is if we hadn't

00:39:32.600 turned away the Muslim invaders at Lepanto or tours and, uh, and the West had developed entirely

00:39:39.500 differently. So one can't really imagine, but it is worth considering the, uh, providential founding

00:39:46.040 of the country. Um, I am, despite my, uh, Sicilian complexion, part of my family is English. And I think

00:39:52.980 four of my ancestors came over on the Mayflower, signed the Mayflower complex. And so I've read a lot

00:39:58.040 about the Mayflower and, you know, they're, they were headed over toward New York. They were headed

00:40:02.300 over toward Manhattan. They get blown off course by hundreds of miles, but they don't even go up to

00:40:07.140 the next best Harbor up in Boston Harbor. They end up in this little strange place called Plymouth.

00:40:12.020 And then out of the woods immediately emerge the only two people in the hemisphere who speak English,

00:40:17.800 uh, Squanto and Samoset. And they find these perfectly tilled fields ready for agriculture.

00:40:24.260 They find stores of corn, but they don't find a lot of people because a plague had wiped them all out

00:40:29.820 three years earlier. All of the, there are some cases where Occam's razor would say the, the more

00:40:36.020 likely answer is Providence rather than some random chance. And so there's been this Christian, uh,

00:40:43.860 character of the nation since then. Uh, John Winthrop obviously gave the famous speech, a city upon a

00:40:49.440 hill, a model of Christian charity. And the founding fathers were, uh, deeply religious.

00:40:54.940 Some were deistic, some were more traditionally Christian. And they said that this constitution

00:40:59.520 is only fit for a moral and religious people. So I have no idea what the country would look like.

00:41:04.080 It wouldn't be the country would be utterly different. It would be a totally alternate universe.

00:41:10.720 Next question from Rachel. Hello, Michael. I'm enjoying your show so far. Thank you. And I think

00:41:16.440 it's a great addition to the daily wire. Thank you again. Seeing as guns trigger leftists so much pun,

00:41:21.140 not intended. Yeah. Right. I'd like to know, do you own a firearm? And if you could have the firearm

00:41:25.480 of your choice, what would it be? This would be ignoring your state's laws. For example, if it is

00:41:30.180 not legal to have an AR 15. Thanks, Rachel. Funny you bring up the AR 15 and the gun control laws.

00:41:35.940 I did not have a gun. I didn't own a gun. I didn't especially care. It's fun to go shoot clay

00:41:40.600 pigeons or something, but I could rent or borrow some friends. But then California passed gunpocalypse.

00:41:46.440 And they were going to ban the AR 15. They said in three months, the AR 15 is going to be banned.

00:41:51.840 So I thought, well, if I ever want an AR 15, I have to buy it right now. What did I do? I immediately

00:41:57.140 went out with a number of the daily wire people, God King Jeremy Boring and the production King,

00:42:04.220 Jonathan Hay. And we went down and went AR 15 shopping. So I do sometimes wonder if the Democrats

00:42:10.560 own huge stock in these gun companies, because we're so reactive to it. The minute they try to

00:42:17.180 ban something, it's the best thing that could possibly happen for sales. So yeah, I do have an

00:42:22.080 AR 15. It's not even my favorite gun. I prefer shooting shotguns and clay pigeons and stuff.

00:42:26.840 Marshall and I went shooting a little while ago, but keep banning a man and we're just going to keep

00:42:30.960 buying them. Next question from Brendan. Dear Mr. The Only Good Knowles in the world. Thank you.

00:42:37.200 As a young lad getting more and more into politics, I have a question. What are different subjects to

00:42:41.980 look into when getting into politics, economics, government crap, and all that other stuff? His

00:42:47.140 words, not mine. Thanks, Brendan. Yeah, you should look at all that crap, Brendan. You should look at

00:42:52.520 obviously history, economics, political philosophy, all of that. But you should ground all of your

00:42:59.700 political thinking in the foundational texts of the West. So you should ground it all in

00:43:07.340 Plato, Aristotle. You should read a lot of the classics. You should read the modern classics

00:43:12.080 like Machiavelli's Discourses on Livy and The Prince. And then as far as I'm concerned, for even

00:43:19.120 more modern political texts, you ought to read Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France

00:43:23.760 and all of his other writing as well. Russell Kirk is good to read everything Bill Buckley wrote,

00:43:28.860 conscience of a conservative, all of that stuff. But I would, as a conservative, I would ground your

00:43:33.140 political learning in the classics and in history because you'll figure out what has worked over time

00:43:39.280 and you will avoid what the left does. The left compares every single news cycle, anything that

00:43:46.220 possibly happens to the Third Reich or the fall of Rome. And it's because those are the only two

00:43:50.000 things they know about. They're the only two things they've ever studied. So you should study more

00:43:53.760 and then you'll have more historical knowledge to pull upon. From David. Question. The Dennis Rodman

00:44:01.500 solution. That's the title. We sent him in with a firearm that breaks down into facial piercings.

00:44:07.420 Get him close. Assemble the firearm and become an international hero overnight. How do you see this

00:44:12.460 plan working out? Excuse me. I'm sorry. Just one second. Tango jump shot. Tango jump shot. They're onto us.

00:44:18.300 They're onto us. I'll have to think about it. I don't have an answer on that. From James.

00:44:24.140 Dear King of Trolls. As a history alumnus of Yale, could you please help me with my history essay

00:44:29.700 about how enlightenment values influenced the American Revolution? If you answer this,

00:44:34.920 I'll be able to cite the Michael Knowles show in my bibliography. You should also cite reasons to vote

00:44:38.760 for Democrats. That has an extensive bibliography that might aid you. The real answer is it would be

00:44:44.340 easier to write about how enlightenment values did not influence the American Revolution. All of the

00:44:49.240 American revolutionaries, all of the ones that we saw write the Federalist Papers and Craft Our

00:44:54.580 Constitution and the Declaration were enlightenment thinkers themselves, American enlightenment thinkers.

00:44:59.760 So in the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson is channeling John Locke and the natural

00:45:05.660 rights to life, liberty, and property or the pursuit of happiness. You see Benjamin Franklin visited

00:45:11.640 Europe a lot of times was engaged in these debates that come out of the enlightenment. He brought those

00:45:17.360 ideas back to Philadelphia and obviously the Federalist Papers and the Constitution express this

00:45:23.860 as well, not simply the Declaration of Independence. So the real answer is everything. It would be far

00:45:30.280 easier to point to even the writings of Thomas Paine that come later and thankfully only affected it a

00:45:35.980 little bit and not entirely because he was quite radical. It would be much easier to point to aspects

00:45:41.740 of the enlightenment that did not influence the American Revolution than how they were influential on

00:45:48.440 the revolution. Final question. This is the last one from Teresa. Hey, Mr. Hillary is my distant cousin

00:45:55.760 Knowles. You make me relive that trauma. Now I need a moment. What is your favorite musical and or

00:46:02.640 Broadway show? My favorite musical, my favorite Broadway show is the first one that I ever performed

00:46:07.540 in as a little eight-year-old boy and it is unsurprisingly Guys and Dolls. What's not to like?

00:46:12.660 You get cool guys like Sky Masterson and Nathan played by Marlon Brando and Frank Sinatra in the movie.

00:46:18.520 You get all those cute chickadees. It's a show about men and women. I enjoy women. It's a show about

00:46:23.740 gambling. Sometimes I like gambling. It's a show about Christianity. I really like Christianity. It's got it all.

00:46:28.920 It's set in New York. It's set at a great time. I love it. I think it's a masterfully done show

00:46:33.200 that really sums up that era of American Broadway musicals. All right, that's it. We got to get out

00:46:38.680 of here. Thank you for watching. Tune back on Monday. Happy Rosh Hashanah to those who celebrate.

00:46:44.560 I'm definitely celebrating because I am not going to have to be in this office tomorrow. So we'll see

00:46:50.900 you then. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show. We'll talk to you next week.

00:46:58.920 We'll see you next week.
