This news cycle, man, this news cycle just keeps going faster and faster. I was about to report to
00:00:07.440
you that Dr. Fauci has a new book coming up. This book was going to be called Expect the Unexpected,
00:00:13.080
10 Lessons on Truth, Service, and the Way Forward. This was going to be his version of the Cuomo
00:00:18.100
COVID book that you released during the thing. So I was going to report on it. I was going to
00:00:22.600
give some thoughts. And then no sooner was that announced than the Dr. Fauci email leak comes out.
00:00:28.200
And now you can't even find the book on Amazon or Barnes and Noble or any of the major booksellers.
00:00:33.340
Before I had the chance to report on it, it got pulled. A lesson, I think, to these guys who got
00:00:39.220
a lot of credit for leading in COVID and it turned out they were wrong about everything. A lesson,
00:00:43.400
wait to write the book. Write the book a little bit later or it's not going to turn out very well
00:00:47.740
for you. But there's actually even stranger science fiction than Dr. Fauci's. UFOs, racial health crises,
00:00:55.560
and a Texas valedictorian's viral insistence that babies are not babies. Maybe the unborn
00:01:02.100
babies are aliens too. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:01:12.940
Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment yesterday from Ross Studwell, who says,
00:01:18.760
Michael, you should call your show The I Told You Show. But it's a good idea. I mean,
00:01:27.140
I think we're going to have to rename the show The I Told You Show because this week and last week,
00:01:32.600
I guess the week before that, we have been proven time and time again. And you know how much it pains
00:01:38.800
me to say this, to have been totally right from the very beginning. And it has been proven that the
00:01:46.400
experts and the geniuses were totally wrong. And they called us conspiracy theorists and lunatics
00:01:51.860
and idiots. And it turns out we were right. And it turns out we're actually right about things even
00:01:55.840
beyond the coronavirus. It's hard. So much winning. But the problem is that's not so much winning
00:02:01.420
because, yeah, you're right about everything. You're smarter than these lunatics. You know,
00:02:05.560
you're getting these things more correct, but they've got all the political power. Well,
00:02:09.100
when you want to defend yourself, one thing I would strongly recommend you check out Armored
00:02:13.760
Republic. You know how important the Second Amendment is to the foundation of our country
00:02:18.020
and how preparing yourself with body armor is increasingly important. It's not just enough
00:02:23.520
to go on the offense. You got to also have some defense too. Our friends at AR500 Armor have made
00:02:29.120
buying body armor easy, approachable, and affordable. What if you are unsure of what type of armor you are
00:02:35.420
needing or just need some pointers based on your needs? They have you covered. They have their
00:02:40.440
Independence Day sale going on right now so you can have your order in before the 4th of July.
00:02:45.820
These sales are up to 50% off select products. So get them while they last. They have rifle rated
00:02:51.060
bundles starting as low as $99. Very important to protect yourself. When you're going to protect
00:02:56.660
yourself, you're going to have a firearm and you're going to be able to, you know, go on the
00:03:03.280
offense against an intruder, say. You also want to protect yourself. That is the other side of this.
00:03:07.720
Best of all, they have put together some packages specifically for listeners of The Daily Wire
00:03:12.280
for everyone. Go check it out at AR500Armor.com. AR500Armor.com slash Knowles. Use code Knowles,
00:03:19.500
K-N-A-W-L-E-S at checkout for 20% off. I hate to say I told you so. It pains me. It hurts me.
00:03:26.640
But I will. Not just on COVID. Obviously, we were all completely right about that and the Fauci's of
00:03:32.680
the world were completely wrong. But even on the UFOs, you remember everybody was going absolutely
00:03:38.820
UFO crazy. The aliens exist. I had many debates with Matt Walsh about this. Matt, very pro-alien.
00:03:46.080
I somewhat anti-alien. And I said, whatever these UFOs are, I don't think that it's ET. I don't think
00:03:53.120
it's Martians. And people said, Michael, you're crazy. And I said, you know, I think very likely
00:03:57.960
it's our own technology. If it's not our own technology, very likely it's the technology of
00:04:03.380
a foreign government. Or there may be some other explanation. It might be something of an illusion
00:04:08.060
or something like that. But I think the least likely possibility is that it's ET.
00:04:13.940
Well, we got the intelligence report out. We got the UFO report from the Pentagon.
00:04:18.880
Now, again, you're going to have to take this somewhat with a grain of salt because we're beginning
00:04:22.640
with the premise here that the government does not always tell you the truth. When I pointed out that
00:04:27.560
this might just be our own technology, people responded to me and said, Michael, the federal
00:04:31.780
government officials say it's not our own technology. And I said, right. And they would
00:04:34.580
never lie to you, right? What have we been doing in the past 18 months? The past five years or so?
00:04:41.040
The federal government would never lie about like Russian interference in the election or Ukrainian
00:04:46.140
corruption in the United States or the coronavirus or maybe some other things having to do with 2020.
00:04:53.100
They would never lie about that, right? No. But taking this with a grain of salt,
00:04:57.340
here is what the intelligence report says. They first off deny that it's our stuff flying in the
00:05:03.760
sky. But then they say that they have no evidence to believe this is aliens. I suspect if they did
00:05:12.040
have evidence that it was aliens, they might try to leak that or continue to stoke that because it
00:05:16.800
would be very sensationalist. It would keep the public enraptured. It would get people more supportive
00:05:21.500
of spending money on space force or on defense spending. But they write, quote,
00:05:26.500
intelligence officials believe at least some of the aerial phenomena could be experimental
00:05:30.620
technology from a rival power, most likely Russia or China. Called it, totally called it. I said it
00:05:35.460
from the beginning. The people who were first observing these phenomena said it wasn't Russia or China.
00:05:39.760
The other genius observers about this says it wasn't Russia or China. I said, I bet it's Russia or China.
00:05:44.720
Looks as though I'm right. In as much as we can trust the report, looks as though we were right here.
00:05:49.120
Our senior official briefed on the intelligence said without hesitation, the US officials knew it
00:05:52.840
was not American technology. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, maybe it's a fake out to Russia or China.
00:05:57.460
But he said there is worry among intelligence officials that China or Russia could be experimenting
00:06:01.460
with hypersonic technology. Why do we believe this? Well, there is actually a lot of evidence.
00:06:05.700
Russia has been investing heavily in hypersonics, believing that that technology offers the ability to
00:06:11.160
evade American missile defense technology. Obviously it would. Is it just Russia? No,
00:06:15.840
China also has developed hypersonic weaponry and included it in military parades. So it's not even
00:06:22.260
like we need to rely on the report to know that China's building this. China has publicly displayed
00:06:26.240
this kind of technology. The report concludes, if the phenomenon were Chinese or Russian aircraft,
00:06:32.800
officials said it would suggest the two powers hypersonic research has far outpaced American
00:06:37.760
military development. Well, of course that's the case because Russia and China are investing their
00:06:41.740
money and focusing on winning wars in the United States is making glossy cartoon commercials about
00:06:46.840
soldiers who have lesbian mothers who spent their youth growing up at pride parades. So yeah, where
00:06:51.760
you put your resources, that's where you're going to get the payoff. There's no woker military
00:06:56.280
establishment right now and bureaucracy than that of the United States. But in terms of this
00:07:00.980
hypersonic technology, China and Russia may have a leg up. The things that they are doing,
00:07:06.580
says the report, where they're spending money, you can't help but be concerned about China's
00:07:11.200
ability to challenge us, as I said, in certain places. And then former officials go on, they say,
00:07:17.220
I don't want to talk about this in detail because it poses a national security threat to acknowledge
00:07:20.540
that. But there are places where China is frankly doing a better job. Right. That's a big problem.
00:07:28.200
One of the arguments in favor of this being aliens is they said, well, the aircraft are going faster
00:07:33.980
than the speed of sound. Right. We know how to do that. Yes, there are some aspects of these aircraft
00:07:40.480
that we don't understand at all. That seems really quite far ahead of our technology. But the hypersonic
00:07:46.540
thing, we do understand. United Airlines just bought a bunch of supersonic jets. The Concorde flew
00:07:54.960
for years and years and years, decades and decades ago. They actually stopped flying at what, at the end of
00:07:58.780
the 90s or the early 2000s. So yeah, we know how to do this stuff. And the idea that there would be
00:08:04.240
some advances in that sort of technology over the past three decades is not really surprising.
00:08:11.880
If it were aliens, it might actually make us feel better. Because if it is, as these reports suggest,
00:08:17.960
and as common sense suggests, if it is the case that it's Russia and China messing around with new
00:08:22.980
technology, that seems to put us in a far worse position. Even crazier than the belief in
00:08:28.700
extraterrestrial life to me is the denial of terrestrial life. What I mean by that is we are
00:08:37.900
so eager to believe in little green men flying to us from Saturn, but we are so at the same time
00:08:45.800
insistent on denying that babies are babies. Right. We can't think about how gullible we are. Think
00:08:51.680
about how stupid we are. I'm not talking about not talking about us. Okay. I'm not talking about you and
00:08:56.180
me who were more correct than Dr. Fauci. I'm talking about the radicals who refuse to acknowledge that
00:09:02.900
a baby is a baby. You know, if we went out to some distant star and found some distant planet and there
00:09:10.060
were a little rover that found one little microscopic sort of vaguely resembles life, this would be an
00:09:18.420
earth shattering event. We would be so shocked and amazed, but you can see a baby on an ultrasound in
00:09:24.320
the womb, moving his little hands and he's got all his little body parts. And we deny that that is a
00:09:28.800
human as a valedictorian girl in Texas just did. And she went viral for it. I hesitated to play this
00:09:36.020
video because I feel bad for 18 year olds who get too much attention because 18 year olds are idiots.
00:09:41.640
Just sort of by definition, they just don't know. Even if they're intelligent, they don't really know
00:09:46.920
anything, especially these days where the educational system has been so rotted out. So I don't want to
00:09:51.500
put a spotlight on this girl who is blabbing incoherently and begging for the right to murder
00:09:59.200
her own child. However, it's already gone viral. I won't use her name, but take a listen to this
00:10:04.080
ghastly speech. Starting in September, there will be a ban on abortions after six weeks of pregnancy
00:10:10.900
pregnancy, regardless of whether the pregnancy was a result of rape or incest. Six weeks.
00:10:18.100
That's all women get. And so before they realize, most of them don't realize that they're pregnant
00:10:23.240
by six weeks. So before they have a chance to decide if they are emotionally, physically, and
00:10:29.740
financially stable enough to carry out a full-term pregnancy, before they have the chance to decide
00:10:37.240
if they can take on the responsibility of bringing another human being into the world,
00:10:41.300
that decision is made for them by a stranger. A decision that will affect the rest of their lives
00:10:47.980
is made by a stranger. I am terrified that if my contraceptives fail, I am terrified that if I am raped,
00:10:57.100
then my hopes and aspirations and dreams and efforts for my future will no longer matter.
00:11:04.520
I hope that you can feel how gut-wrenching that is.
00:11:09.100
Yes, we can all feel how gut-wrenching that is. Now, speaking of guts and gut-wrenching,
00:11:14.560
think about applying that same logic to the little baby. Imagine if a life-changing decision were made
00:11:21.400
for you by someone else. You mean like by an abortionist or by a child's mother who would kill him in the
00:11:26.280
womb? Yeah, imagine that. That'd be pretty bad. People are, they're not prioritizing my life,
00:11:33.860
right? What about someone else's life, right? I don't, look, plenty of 18-year-olds have stupid
00:11:40.480
ideas about the world. I had plenty of stupid ideas, including on this point. I think I was actually
00:11:44.060
in favor of legal abortion when I was 18. I'm trying to think when I changed my mind. I was probably
00:11:48.240
20 or something. I mean, I, you know, at this point, I probably would have said I was pro-abortion.
00:11:52.400
So I feel for her and it's too bad that she blew it this way. I mean, it's too bad that she made such
00:11:58.000
a mess of things instead of just saying, thank you. It's an honor to be valedictorian. Have a good
00:12:01.480
life. People are saying the speech was courageous. It was not courageous. I mean, she lied about what
00:12:08.740
speech she was going to give. Apparently, there had been some discussions about whether or not she
00:12:11.760
was going to address this issue. And it's really sad for her because she has dedicated now her
00:12:17.800
achievement to the alleged right of mothers to murder their children in the womb. That is not
00:12:25.780
something that history is going to look kindly on. We talk about the right side of history sometimes,
00:12:31.320
you know, that's a left-wing line. Well, if there is such a right side of history, you know,
00:12:36.400
certainly on the right side of justice, people are not going to look at this very kindly.
00:12:41.620
It shows you though the level of indoctrination. I mean, this was even true when I was a teenager,
00:12:49.040
just the way the culture, not even just the educational institutions, the culture,
00:12:52.920
the Hollywood, the mainstream media, certainly the educational apparatus, they all sort of
00:13:00.800
brainwash you with this idea that you can't possibly speak out against it. What is courageous
00:13:06.300
about going out and saying something that will only receive one plaudits by the entire system?
00:13:11.100
That's not speaking truth to power. That's speaking power to truth. But it might take
00:13:15.660
that girl a little bit longer to realize that. With everything sort of crumbling all around us,
00:13:21.580
it's probably a good idea to invest in something physical, something tangible, something with value,
00:13:25.980
something like Acre Gold. Acre lets you subscribe to gold bars for as little as $30 a month. You pay
00:13:32.280
each month. Once your gold stash reaches the price of their gold bars, they will discreetly ship
00:13:36.300
Acre Gold to your house. Acre has a new $100 a month subscription to a five gram gold bar.
00:13:40.780
Acre ships your gold directly and discreetly to your door. But the big takeaway here is that you
00:13:45.480
don't need to come out of pocket all at once to acquire meaningful gold over time, okay? I know
00:13:50.520
that gold costs more than $30. They've got this great system where you can really start to invest.
00:13:56.940
I've always enjoyed investing in precious metals. It's also a good hedge when the economy and the
00:14:01.780
political system is looking a little bit kooky. Visit getacregold.com slash Knowles right now. Start

00:14:21.120
Thank you, Acre Gold, for supporting the show. The valedictorian girl in Texas
00:14:25.180
believes that her most cherished right is the fictional constitutional right to murder her baby.
00:14:34.100
Women who have that alleged right forced upon them recognize that that is not the case.
00:14:40.760
The AP, the Associated Press recently spoke with the Uyghur exiles from China. The Uyghurs are this
00:14:46.560
ethnic minority and religious minority in China. They're not treated very well by the Chinese
00:14:51.100
government. A lot of people are not treated well by the Chinese government. One of the more ghastly
00:14:56.680
policies of the Chinese government is that of sterilization, forced sterilization and forced
00:15:03.620
abortion. In particular, when there was the one child policy, but also among populations that China
00:15:10.180
is trying to kill off like the Uyghurs. Even today, where Chinese citizens are allowed to have two to
00:15:16.060
three babies. If you have more than that, the authorities will come in, kick down your door
00:15:22.860
and kill your kid in your womb. So this is from one of these Uyghur women said, I was six and a half
00:15:29.140
months pregnant. The police came, one Uyghur and two Chinese. They put me and eight other pregnant
00:15:33.720
women in cars and took us to the hospital. This is a woman who's now fled and she's living in Istanbul.
00:15:38.820
They first gave me a pill and said to take it. So I did. I didn't know what it was. Half an hour later,
00:15:43.700
they put a needle in my belly. And sometime after that, I lost my child. This is heart-wrenching
00:15:47.960
stuff, especially for anybody who's ever had a kid. You learn very quickly that the baby that
00:15:54.920
you're holding in your hands is the same baby that was in the mother's belly. And when you have a
00:16:00.780
child, when you're about to have a child and you desire that child and you don't have any desire to
00:16:05.880
kill that child, you think of that child as a baby. We never talk about the royal fetus when Kate
00:16:10.900
Middleton is pregnant, right? We always talk about the royal baby. Well, does the baby becomes a baby
00:16:15.300
because he is desired by his parents? No, the baby either is a baby or he's not a baby. And the desire
00:16:21.060
of his parents to keep him or kill him has nothing to do with that. It has absolutely no bearing
00:16:24.920
on the question. This woman obviously wanted her baby and the baby was killed by these Chinese
00:16:30.520
authorities. Look at the birth rate. Birth rates are important things to look at because we talk about
00:16:36.980
ways to save the civilization, save our country. Well, if you stop having kids, then it doesn't
00:16:42.040
matter how many brilliant polemics or political philosophies you come up with. If there's not
00:16:47.240
going to be any people, then you're not going to have a country. The birth rate across the Xinjiang
00:16:51.360
region, which is the region where the Uyghurs are, fell by nearly half in the two years between
00:16:57.040
2017 and 2019. I guess that's three years, 2017, 2018, 2019. The most intense drops occurred in places
00:17:05.020
where the Uyghurs and other minorities are located. Throughout the counties that are populated by a
00:17:12.020
majority of these minorities, majority minority, the birth rate dropped on average by 43.7% from
00:17:19.760
2017 to 2018. The birth rate in counties populated by 90% or more indigenous people dropped by 56.5% on
00:17:30.100
average in the same year. If that is not a genocide, I don't know what is. But very sad for the Uyghur
00:17:39.160
people. Obviously, it's a horrific thing being done by the Chinese government. The reason I bring it up
00:17:43.480
is that the mechanism there, the mechanism of that genocide is the exact same thing that leftists in
00:17:53.340
America are claiming to be a sacred right. There is no difference in the act. What the CCP is doing to
00:18:00.320
the Uyghurs and what this valedictorian in Texas is begging for and pleading for as her most cherished
00:18:06.440
right, it's the exact same thing. The only difference is consent, right? The Uyghurs are not
00:18:14.500
consenting to this and the leftists in America, I guess, sort of are, even though their free will is
00:18:19.260
obviously compromised by vice and madness. There are other things in the world beyond consent.
00:18:27.260
Consent is important, but there's also good and evil, right and wrong, true and false. If you are
00:18:35.760
braying about what's being done to the Uyghurs by the Chinese government and you're clamoring for your
00:18:41.440
right to kill your child for abortion, something has gone wrong. You're not seeing the situation for
00:18:47.260
what it is. Now, this issue in China is not just a question of abortion, human rights, or whatever
00:18:52.760
the new term is to describe the universal aspect here. There's also a racial aspect, which is that
00:18:58.020
the Chinese government, the Han Chinese, are attacking this other ethnic group in China, the Uyghurs.
00:19:07.680
Obviously, racial issues are very often a dividing line in governments, and especially in the United
00:19:12.360
States. That's sort of the main dividing line in America. It's the real weak spot that America's
00:19:16.680
enemies over the years, notably the Soviet Union, but others, have tried to hit upon because it
00:19:23.120
creates tension in the country. So one big racial question that's up right now is whether or not
00:19:29.440
we will have reparations for slavery. You've heard this for the first time in a major presidential race.
00:19:36.500
A huge number of the candidates are saying they support reparations for slavery. And even Joe Biden
00:19:41.460
has supported a commission to talk about whether or not we should have reparations. So Don Lemon,
00:19:45.720
half of Tweedledee Tweedledum on CNN, Don Lemon brings up this question of reparations.
00:19:52.700
And Columbia professor John McWhorter, who is a liberal, but he's a little more reasonable as far
00:19:57.400
as liberals go, he goes on the show and he says, Don, whether or not you want reparations or not,
00:20:04.280
I'm a little wary of the idea that we should think of that as a microcosm for what should happen for
00:20:10.640
black America because not because I'm against reparations, but because reparations for black
00:20:16.100
America already happened starting in the late 60s. Affirmative action was reparations. People
00:20:22.460
didn't use that word, but that's precisely what it was. The Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 that
00:20:28.980
forced banks to invest in inner cities. Nobody makes a movie about that, but that was reparations.
00:20:35.720
So affirmative action didn't help to turn black America upside down. Then why do we fight red tooth,
00:20:42.800
claw and nail whenever anybody threatens it? It created a huge black middle class and it created
00:20:49.620
black success of all kinds that wouldn't have happened without it. I think affirmative action
00:20:54.380
was a great thing, but I do think that it was a reparation. I love this argument. I love the
00:21:00.060
angle he's taking here because he's saying, look, some kind of reparation is perhaps justified.
00:21:05.780
And this was the opinion of basically everybody after the civil war, right? This 40 acres and a mule,
00:21:10.700
that was going to be the promise because you can't just say to a huge number of people, okay,
00:21:16.640
you've got your freedom now, but you don't have any property and you don't really have many
00:21:21.780
political rights and you've got people who are really opposed to you having political rights and
00:21:26.020
okay, so it'll work out fine, right? No, it probably won't. Now, should we have reparations
00:21:31.360
hundreds of years later? I think that argument's a little weaker, but to me, the cleverer argument is
00:21:37.480
we've already had them. And of course we have. If affirmative action, if the racially focused
00:21:44.860
welfare programs of the last 60 years in this country are not a reparation, then what the hell are
00:21:51.140
they? What's the point of them? If they're not a reparation, get rid of them. If we're going to,
00:21:55.160
if we're going to do something else now, then we absolutely need to scrap all of those programs.
00:22:01.580
If it's not a reparation, why do black students get preferential treatment when they apply to
00:22:05.140
college? Why are, why are white students and Asian students put at a disadvantage? They have to
00:22:11.440
score higher on the SAT. They have to get better grades. They have to do better than the black students
00:22:15.180
to get into the same colleges. That's a reparation. Well, okay. If it's a reparation,
00:22:18.800
then we've, we've already got it. But what this shows you, and this, I think is the brilliance of
00:22:25.420
McCorder's argument here. He hasn't even come to this conclusion explicitly, but I think it's,
00:22:29.820
it's implied. The, one of the arguments against reparations is what do you think is going to
00:22:34.920
happen? We're going to, okay, $10 billion. There you go. That's the reparations. We're good now.
00:22:40.080
It's all good. No more racial grievance. Of course not. It's never going to end. There's no end point
00:22:45.480
to that. And the proof of this is we've already tried it and there was no end point to it.
00:22:52.500
Now, the, the left tries to lump everything in with these problems. The left actually views
00:22:58.460
many aspects of our society, notably the criminal justice system, as just an extension of slavery
00:23:04.080
and Jim Crow. AOC made this point. AOC believes that, that the prisons are basically sort of modern
00:23:09.220
day slavery. And she thinks that it ought to be a very important goal of justice to reduce the
00:23:14.460
prison population. If we want to reduce violent crime, if we want to reduce the number of people
00:23:19.500
in our jails, the answer is to stop building more of them. The answer is to make sure that we actually
00:23:25.140
build more hospitals. We pay organizers. We get people mental health care and overall health care,
00:23:30.940
employment, et cetera. It's to support communities, not throw them away.
00:23:34.300
So AOC wants to reduce the total prison population. There is crime all over this country. The
00:23:46.840
cities are being burned down left and right. Do you believe that we need fewer people in prison
00:23:54.980
or more people in prison? It seems to me we need more people. We talk about, we have mass incarceration,
00:24:01.120
not mass enough. Crime's going through the roof. Well, no, Michael, it's a terrible system where
00:24:07.500
people are going to jail for having dime bags of marijuana. First of all, that's not true.
00:24:11.580
People are going to jail because they get plea deals from much more significant charges.
00:24:15.340
But even beyond that, as long as you've got Antifa and BLM terrorizing the streets, as long as you've
00:24:21.040
got crime spiking in the cities, why on earth would we want fewer people in prison? If you want less
00:24:28.280
crime, you've got to put more criminals in the clink. Now, this is just common sense. Here's
00:24:33.360
another piece of common sense. RockAuto. RockAuto.com is so much easier than walking into that store
00:24:39.580
and having a clerk humiliate you because you don't know all the details of your car.
00:24:43.820
Is your Honda, Michael, is your Honda the GT3C7? Or I guess if the clerk were talking to AOC,
00:24:50.800
they would say, AOC, is your Tesla the super duper stocked up one or just the one that prevents you
00:24:55.280
from fixing a wayless roof. There are lots of questions that you could be asked. And you're
00:25:00.360
not going to have the answers. They're going to go in the back. They're not going to have the part.
00:25:02.680
They're going to come and order the part online and charge you twice as much. Don't do that.
00:25:08.400
RockAuto.com, family business, always offers the lowest prices possible rather than changing prices
00:25:13.920
based on what the market will bear like the airlines do. Why would you spend up to twice as much
00:25:18.200
for the same parts? They're a family business serving auto parts customers online for 20 years.
00:25:22.960
You've got the same prices for pros like me and do-it-yourselfers like you.
00:25:27.520
Head on over right now to that very easy to navigate catalog, RockAuto.com.
00:25:31.520
See all the parts available for your car or truck and then write Knowles in their
00:25:34.640
how did you hear about us box so they know that we sent you. AOC, very focused on justice.
00:25:41.840
We need to let the criminals out of prison, she says. This would be justice.
00:25:45.520
AOC does not seem so interested in justice for her own family. So she tweeted out just a couple
00:25:53.560
days ago. She goes, just over a week ago, my abuela fell ill. I went to Puerto Rico to see her,
00:26:00.720
my first time in a year plus because of COVID. This is her home. Hurricane Maria relief hasn't
00:26:06.280
arrived. Trump blocked money for Puerto Rico. People are forced to flee ancestral homes and
00:26:12.780
developers are taking them. So most of this is not true. She says that Hurricane Maria relief hasn't
00:26:19.460
arrived. That's not true. We did send relief. Trump blocked money for Puerto Rico. No, he didn't.
00:26:23.260
That's not true. What happened is they sent money and then the corrupt Puerto Rican officials took
00:26:26.800
the money and stole it. But that's not even my big problem with this tweet. Here's my problem.
00:26:30.740
I'm looking at abuela's house. I don't know if it's an apartment or a house. There's roof problems.
00:26:35.800
She's living in squalor. I would estimate that to fix that roof costs, I don't know, like $1,000 or
00:26:44.620
something like that, right? Because it's a very small roof. But let's say it's more, let's say it's
00:26:48.920
$10,000 to fix that roof. AOC is a wealthy woman. She's a famous wealthy politician. She drives a Tesla.
00:26:58.720
She can't fix abuela's roof. That's very wicked. That's an evil thing to let your abuela.
00:27:07.960
Why do we have to use the term abuela, by the way? Does AOC not speak English? The term is
00:27:11.620
grandmother. I don't say, you know, I was visiting my nonna the other day. You know, yes, we went and
00:27:16.640
we had a lovely Christmas dinner. I just left my uncle's house and then I drove over to my nonna's
00:27:23.040
house. No, we don't do that because we're Americans and we speak English here. So she's going to let
00:27:28.400
her abuela live in squalor. AOC drives a Tesla. I drive a Honda. I was thinking about buying a nicer
00:27:36.000
car, but the nicer car I was going to buy would have been about $10,000 more than the Honda was.
00:27:42.340
So I got $10,000 lying around because I didn't go buy the, I wasn't even going to buy a Tesla. I was
00:27:47.040
just going to buy like a slightly fancier car. So I got, I got that 10 grand lying around. I would like
00:27:51.700
to fix abuela's roof. I know multiple other people here who would like to fix abuela's roof. So AOC
00:27:56.440
doesn't want to do it. Just please, someone send us abuela's address so that we can fix it. But of
00:28:00.880
course, AOC, she doesn't want to do that. She actually realized too, and she got caught in this.
00:28:04.900
She goes, oh no, abuela's fine. I said, well, it doesn't look fine. It looks like she's living in
00:28:07.880
squalor. No, no, it's just, we just need, Trump needs to do it. Trump, huh? That guy's not,
00:28:12.960
that guy's not going to be president again until August. If recent reports are to be believed. I'm joking.
00:28:18.080
I'm joking. I'm joking. So AOC laments this horrible situation for her abuela. She then
00:28:28.500
laments being a first generation immigrant. She tweeted out, she said, I'm a first generation.
00:28:33.800
How dare you speak to me this way? The problem with that statement is AOC is not a first generation
00:28:40.300
immigrant. Actually, Jeremy pointed this out to me. AOC responded this way to Matt Walsh on Twitter.
00:28:45.840
And then Jeremy pointed out to me, she said, AOC is not a first generation immigrant. Her father
00:28:50.040
was born in America and her mother was born in an American territory. AOC has been an American
00:28:56.200
citizen without any question of her being a first generation immigrant. Words have meaning.
00:29:05.320
If we are to have self-government, words need to have meaning. I write about this in my upcoming
00:29:09.680
book, Speechless, Controlling Words, Controlling Minds, available now for pre-order.
00:29:12.540
The Connecticut legislature is testing the meaning of words. The Connecticut legislature
00:29:20.640
has passed a bill that declares racism a public health crisis. Now the bill needs to be signed by
00:29:28.200
the Democrat governor. Racism, a public health crisis. The bill writes, it is hereby declared
00:29:34.200
the policy of the state of Connecticut to recognize that racism is a public health crisis. There is
00:29:38.520
established a truth and reconciliation commission like South Africa to examine racial disparities in
00:29:44.280
public health. The commission shall study institutional racism in the state's laws and
00:29:48.920
regulations impacting public health. So if you can, this is what's always been so dangerous about
00:29:55.420
the public health tyranny of the last year and a half. More than any other government agency
00:30:00.420
or government system, public health has basically limitless power because the people who run it are
00:30:09.100
politicians that are by design unaccountable to the people, but they can claim that their preferred
00:30:16.080
policies are backed up by science. So there's no arguing with it or debating it. And so now what
00:30:21.360
they're going to try to do is call everything that they want a public health crisis. And then once they
00:30:27.540
do that, there will be no one to stop them. Okay. I see the political utility in this. I see the
00:30:34.600
political utility in trying to spin and trying to make words mean things that they don't mean.
00:30:38.340
Every politician does that to some degree or another. If we cannot agree on the most basic
00:30:44.240
meaning of words, we will not have a country, a self-government that relies upon the idea that
00:30:50.300
there is an objective reality. We have words that can describe that reality and we basically agree on
00:30:55.540
what the reality is and what the words that refer to the reality mean. If we don't have that, we lose
00:31:01.620
our government. Speaking of words losing their meaning, Princeton. Princeton University, considered
00:31:08.880
one of the top universities in the country, is removing the Latin and Greek requirement from its
00:31:14.880
classics major. So you can major in classics, classics, right, written in Latin and Greek,
00:31:20.500
but you don't need to read Latin and Greek. It's pretty strange. How are you going to read
00:31:26.900
the classics? Usually you have to read some books at least to get a degree. Well, this is being
00:31:31.560
reported by Ben Zysloft at Campus Reform, who also writes for the Daily Wire. The university has
00:31:37.460
changed that classics requirement and added a track in race and identity. Race and identity, which is just a
00:31:46.240
silly ideological derivation of critical theory, and it's basically just a really easy track for stupid
00:31:53.380
students to follow. When they added these critical theory sort of disciplines, and critical race
00:31:58.580
theory is a derivation of that, it not only poisoned the American mind in the American university, but
00:32:04.020
part of the reason it spread is because it's easy. You don't have to be very smart to get these kinds
00:32:08.100
of majors. And so for students who were not doing very well, it just gave them an easy out so they
00:32:12.920
could still graduate from university. What are we going to do about this sort of thing?
00:32:20.040
Are we just going to say, well, academic freedom? Well, Princeton, you know, it's a private institution
00:32:24.760
sort of, and so they can do whatever they want. I don't think so. The Texas GOP showing exactly what
00:32:29.420
we ought to do. The Dallas Mavericks run by that guy, Mark Cuban, that anti-American guy, Mark Cuban,
00:32:36.800
who sucks up to China all the time. Mark Cuban decided he's not going to play the Star-Spangled
00:32:42.160
Banner on the court before the game. Okay. That's his right, isn't it? He's a private
00:32:46.240
organization and he, no. Texas GOP came out, they passed the Star-Spangled Banner Act. Star-Spangled
00:32:51.360
Banner Protection Act, I think is what it's called. And it requires that the anthem be played before
00:32:55.920
professional sports games in Texas, lest the teams give up their funding from the state. I love that.
00:33:02.160
I love that. But Michael, it's a regulation on business. It's not small government. Right. I don't
00:33:05.580
like small government. I like limited government. I don't like small government. But it's a use of the
00:33:09.480
political arm of that. Yes, that's good. I like it. When the people give us political power,
00:33:13.800
I think we should use that political power. Use it justly, but we should use it. Yeah. I think
00:33:17.680
that's good. But Michael, who cares? It's just the Star-Spangled Banner. Well, who cares? The left
00:33:22.360
cares a lot. Maybe the left cares because the left realized that culture matters. Maybe actually the
00:33:27.340
same conservatives who are arguing that we shouldn't use the government to do this are the
00:33:31.180
conservatives who say that politics is downstream of culture and we got to focus on culture. Well, true,
00:33:34.940
the politics influences culture as well. Texas GOP showing the way forward here. Great stuff. I love
00:33:40.160
this. And I love that Mark Cuban is going to have to stand for the Star-Spangled Banner. He'll at least
00:33:46.660
have to play the Star-Spangled Banner. Cry more, Mark. I know he'd rather play the national anthem of
00:33:51.720
China. Well, tough, tough, buddy. You're just going to have to deal with that and stand up for the red,
00:33:57.580
white, and blue. Ben today will be talking about his escape from New York. Not his personally,
00:34:03.120
but the sort of conservative movement to get out of New York because the place is falling apart.
00:34:08.920
When it comes to exposing the left for the illogical propagandists that they are,
00:34:13.500
Ben is probably the second best man for the job. No, I'm only sort of telling the truth. No,
00:34:20.660
I'm kidding. I'm kidding. He's really, he's tops. If you want to hear from him, you're in for a real

at Apple, Spotify, or whatever your platform of choice may be. We'll be right back with the mailbag.
00:35:00.660
Welcome back to the mailbag. First question from Marie. Hey, Michael, I've recently had
00:35:15.000
conversations with people about waiting until marriage to have sex. Other than the Bible tells
00:35:19.440
me so, why do you, if you do, think that it's better to wait? A lot of people like to argue
00:35:24.540
like, that like cars, you should try it before you buy it, which seems like a valid point at face
00:35:31.660
value. But I know there's more to it. Would love to hear your thoughts. Sincerely, minivan in the
00:35:37.020
peeps, Lambo on the streets. Whoa, baby. Oh my gosh, because it's a family show. Cut that out.
00:35:44.160
Um, oh, minivan to my peeps. That's, that's still, it's still very lurid. Uh, yes, the analogy is true
00:35:53.060
if you consider yourself an object to be ridden. Do you? Or if you consider yourself a human being,
00:35:59.880
then it's, I guess it doesn't hold as true. It's the same thing as the, you know, well, you know,
00:36:04.020
you got, why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free? Like, yes, that, that argument does
00:36:09.200
make a pretty good point. And, uh, also one does not want to compare oneself to a cow because you're
00:36:14.420
a human being. You have dignity. Uh, very few people I've noticed in our pop culture, uh, wait
00:36:20.280
until marriage. You know, I was an atheist for 10 years and sure behaved like one. So I'm speaking,
00:36:25.040
I guess a little bit from experience here. Uh, the people I know who waited until marriage to have sex
00:36:29.840
seem happier with their decision than the people who did not. Just speaking anecdotally,
00:36:36.560
just from people I know, but there's a line in, in Glenn Gary, Glenn Ross, a terrific play by,
00:36:42.640
uh, uh, gosh, what's his name? It's one of the great playwrights, David Mamet.
00:36:47.120
In Glenn Gary, Glenn Ross, the Al Pacino character, Ricky Roma says,
00:36:51.680
you'll regret the things you don't do. Hooah. He doesn't have the hooah. You regret the things you
00:36:58.120
don't do. And a lot of people believe this. A liberal friend of mine said this the other day.
00:37:01.380
In my experience, that's not true. In my experience, you regret the things you do do
00:37:06.820
that you shouldn't have done. I don't regret many things that I didn't do. I've done a lot of things,
00:37:12.640
I guess. But I, I certainly have many regrets about things that I did do. I shouldn't have said
00:37:19.340
this. I shouldn't have acted in this way. I shouldn't have ignored this thing. I shouldn't
00:37:22.720
have this or that and the other thing. We, we do have regrets about these things that we do.
00:37:27.880
I think that your inclination here is that it's a good thing to wait until marriage. And that's
00:37:36.280
something very special. And it's, it's something that you won't be able to get back. You can,
00:37:40.140
you know, you move on, but plenty of people get married if they, you know, had sex before marriage,
00:37:43.800
probably the vast majority of people. Uh, but you can never get that back. So I would hold on to that
00:37:49.140
thing. That's, that's quite valuable. And I think that men will appreciate that. And I think that
00:37:53.940
you will appreciate that. And I think that if, if your guy also hasn't had sex before marriage,
00:37:58.740
if you, if somehow that works out, then, uh, you'll have something really special because
00:38:02.400
you'll share that together. From Victor. Hey, Mr. Knowles. I was listening to one of your all
00:38:07.760
accesses the other day, and I heard that you don't believe in the apparitions of Medjugorje.
00:38:11.940
This is a Marian apparition that some Catholics believe in. They believe that Mary appeared at this
00:38:18.040
place, Medjugorje. Um, and then some people are skeptical of that. I know many people who have gone and
00:38:22.980
had special experiences. My old priest and my father, for example, my family's always believed
00:38:26.780
in it. I never really questioned it. You're someone that I really respect because of your
00:38:30.720
intelligence. And so I was wondering why you didn't believe in it. Also, what are your thoughts
00:38:34.060
on Garaband, Garanda Badal? I don't actually know how to pronounce this, but it's a Spanish apparition
00:38:39.640
site or alleged apparition site. Sincerely, Victor. Uh, without going too in the weeds here,
00:38:44.780
I believe that there have been miraculous apparitions, right? I, but notably there was the,
00:38:52.040
the apparitions at Fatima, which I believe in, uh, about a hundred years or so ago. Uh, I believe
00:38:57.920
that these, I believe in the apparition of Our Lady of Guadalupe, which happened to Juan Diego here
00:39:02.300
in the Americas. And I see the, the tilma of this miraculous image. And I, I, I believe that. I believe
00:39:09.540
in lots of these things, but I'm not superstitious. You know, I don't just believe in anything without
00:39:15.800
any bit of evidence. Um, I think sometimes people are confused. They think that religious people are
00:39:21.220
the most superstitious people on earth. I think actually we're the least superstitious because we
00:39:24.780
do apply rigor to these things, you know, reason and faith working together. So when it comes to
00:39:31.240
Medjugorje, I just noticed that unlike at Fatima, the alleged seers at Medjugorje did not dedicate
00:39:37.080
themselves to the church, did not become nuns or brothers or priests. Uh, they enriched themselves and
00:39:43.260
they bought really fancy homes and they, uh, appear to have made very narrow partisan, uh,
00:39:53.400
perhaps self-serving political claims as though they, this were, were mentioned by the, the, uh,
00:39:59.920
Our Lady by the, the Blessed Virgin who was referred to as Gospa in Medjugorje apparition. Uh, in some
00:40:06.180
cases, things that they're saying that the Gospa told them seem to contradict or at least not be
00:40:11.760
present in any sort of Christian tradition ever. Uh, so it just seems a little difficult to believe
00:40:20.220
to me. And, and the, the length of time that this has gone on, the financial considerations here,
00:40:24.820
the collaboration with the, at that time ruling communist party in the area, I just, I just don't
00:40:29.960
buy it. I'm not saying it's not possible. I do not buy it. As for, uh, Garanda Badal, I, I, I don't
00:40:35.280
know, but it seems more worthy of belief to me. And the position of the church is, uh, is open on
00:40:41.540
this, right? I mean, the church has not said that this is worthy of belief. They've, the Pope Francis
00:40:45.380
recently opened some questions about Medjugorje, but we'll have to find out. As for me, I'm pretty
00:40:49.800
skeptical. From Jillian. Hey, so I saw your show last week and was thinking about the mailbag question
00:40:55.660
with the man whose wife got an abortion due to rape. I'm right now in a situation like that. Oh,
00:41:00.440
it's terribly sore to hear that. I was at a party about two months ago, didn't make the best
00:41:04.140
decisions and had some things happen non-consensually to me. Oh gosh, awful. Uh, it's making me a little
00:41:09.880
less sure in my decision to get an abortion. I have one scheduled for next week. I wouldn't
00:41:15.560
normally get an abortion because I wouldn't consensually make the decision to have sex
00:41:18.780
before marriage. I feel like if I have this kid, I'm giving up my chances of finding a good man,
00:41:23.780
given that I had my virginity stolen and had a kid consequently. I feel hopeless. Thank you for any
00:41:28.760
advice that you would give. I'm terribly sorry that you find yourself in this situation where you had
00:41:33.920
this terrible experience. Do not get the abortion. Listen to me. Listen very closely. Do not get the
00:41:42.780
abortion. You will regret it for the rest of your life. You will regret it every single day. Do not
00:41:48.080
do it. It seems like the easy way out because you think if you get the abortion, then it's as if you,
00:41:53.440
you never had this horrible experience. You never had a child, but it doesn't erase that. It just
00:41:59.800
adds another evil to this evil that was perpetrated on you. And you won't be able to convince yourself
00:42:08.400
otherwise. You won't be able to rationalize it. What you can do if you don't feel able to raise the
00:42:16.880
child is give the baby up for adoption. There were 32 couples in the United States. The number changes a
00:42:22.040
little bit. It's something like 32 couples in the United States for every baby that is put up for
00:42:26.000
adoption. Do not, do not do this. You will, both for the, I mean, do not do this because the act
00:42:36.040
itself would be intrinsically evil and, you know, would be terrible for the baby. But for you, just for
00:42:42.840
you, do not, you will, I know multiple people who have had multiple abortions for that matter.
00:42:49.000
And it really wrecks them. Do not do this. I wish you the best of luck. I can pray for you.
00:43:00.680
But do not let the sort of fear and anxiety and shame or whatever lead you to commit something
00:43:06.520
that will only increase your fear and your anxiety and your shame. You're afraid that some man isn't
00:43:11.360
going to like you now because you had this horrible thing happen to you and, you know, then you had a
00:43:15.660
baby and either raised it or gave it up for adoption. First, I don't think a man is going to
00:43:20.780
think that way and not, not a good man anyway. But if you're worried about the opinion of the man,
00:43:26.660
well, what about the opinion of the man if you go ahead and have the abortion? Do not do it. Do not,
00:43:31.540
do not do it. Feel free to reach out again. Happy to answer more questions. From Camille,
00:43:37.880
dear Michael, I'm a single woman in my mid twenties and I want to ask your opinion on dating apps.
00:43:42.220
Personally, I hate the apps. I'm a Christian and do genuinely believe God has a plan and someone for
00:43:49.960
me. But do I have to be on the apps to find them or will God make it happen? Or is being on dating
00:43:56.820
apps a God helps those who help themselves situation? Sincerely, dating mishap. Man,
00:44:03.420
that's a new signature. It's getting, getting much better. I never was on the apps. Just missed it.
00:44:10.020
Sweet little Elise and I got back together before the apps came out or before they were really
00:44:14.900
popular. And so I never had to deal with that. Some people use the apps just to hook up. I guess
00:44:21.220
a lot of people do that. Some people use the apps to find their spouses. I've been to multiple weddings
00:44:26.640
of people who met on the dating apps. If you don't like the dating apps, I don't think you need to be
00:44:32.820
on them, but you do need to meet men elsewhere. You do need to meet guys at the church or at
00:44:37.840
the bar or at work or at some social circle or friend of a friend or set up on a blind date. So
00:44:44.580
you got to do that. I suppose now the culture is such that people do generally meet on the apps.
00:44:49.160
But yeah, I don't think I would have enjoyed being on the apps. There's something very,
00:44:53.520
you're really putting yourself out there. I mean, it's just like everybody is putting out a
00:44:56.960
classified ad. And so there's something kind of clinical about that. There's something that I don't,
00:45:02.600
I don't particularly care for. But, but, you know, people can meet and have, have great
00:45:06.560
relationships and marriages out of it. So I don't think the apps are evil in themselves,
00:45:11.000
but there are other options. The thing is you can't use your aversion for the apps as an excuse
00:45:16.040
not to date at all. You just need to, if you're not going to use the apps, you need to make sure that
00:45:19.380
you say, hey friend, set me up on a date with somebody. Hey, you know, local group that I'm a member
00:45:26.920
of. Let's hang out more often. Let's go to the, this dinner. Let's go to this bar. Let's go to this,
00:45:32.100
let's go to that, the other thing. From Michael. Oh, Princeps Gloriosissime Knowles.
00:45:40.480
In today's episode, you spoke of January 6th in reference to the relatively small scale riot that
00:45:45.980
took place earlier this year. Might I suggest that we conservatives stop using the term January 6th
00:45:51.400
to reference that event? I believe that in using that language to talk about that day,
00:45:55.920
we are feeding the leftist attempt to cement in our minds their comparison to September 11th.
00:46:00.200
By having us use that date as a reference point, they are controlling words and controlling minds.
00:46:04.880
Instead, shouldn't we refer to it as the acts of destruction at the Capitol in January or something
00:46:11.000
else appropriately creative? What are your thoughts? Thanks for all that you do. Fellow Sicilian American
00:46:16.700
Catholic New Yorker named Michael. Wow. What a guy. You're totally right. I've sometimes used it,
00:46:23.080
I hope I haven't used it too often in an earnest way. I sometimes will say in January 6th,
00:46:27.360
you know, on the insurrection. But I think you're right. We should not refer to January 6th. There's
00:46:32.220
no comparison between January 6th. There's no comparison between the Capitol riot and September
00:46:38.140
11th. There's no comparison between the Capitol riot and Pearl Harbor. There's no comparison between
00:46:42.180
the Capitol riot and the BLM riots of 2020. The BLM riots were much, much, much worse. And the focus on
00:46:49.220
the Capitol riot is a distraction in a way for the left to get rid of their culpability. I also love
00:46:57.100
your reference, which is to my upcoming book, Speechless, Controlling Words, Controlling Minds,
00:47:01.100
available now for pre-order. I think you're totally right. It's a very good part. If I could
00:47:06.540
expand the book in a new edition, I would include that. From Daniel. Hi, Michael. There's a strong
00:47:11.940
proponent of a justice-centered conception of self-government, such as that which is found in
00:47:16.460
Federalist 51 when Madison said, justice is the end of government. You've often stated that we
00:47:20.840
shouldn't be afraid of using the power of government to regulate or even ban things that undermine the
00:47:24.120
proper end of government. As a result, you've come under fire by many libertarian-leading neocons
00:47:28.500
for seeming to be a proponent of, in their view, Catholic theocracy. If your preferred policies were
00:47:32.860
to reach their logical end states, what would you say to these people? Would you really prefer
00:47:38.240
that our constitution were chiseled in two stone tablets on Mount Sinai as opposed to being written
00:47:41.920
in the Pennsylvania State House? Thanks and love the show, Daniel. No, it's not that I wish that our
00:47:46.020
constitution were totally different than it is and were a theocracy. I just wish people would read
00:47:52.280
the constitution, read the Federalist, and read American history because my view, which is now
00:47:57.680
being derided by the libertarians and the neocons as theocratic and authoritarian, my view is frankly
00:48:06.520
more liberal than the view of the founding fathers. During the founding, at the time of ratification,
00:48:13.620
the definition of a felony was that you would hang. You would hang for it, right? I'm not saying that
00:48:20.520
we need to go that extreme in criminal justice. At the time of the founding, there were state-established
00:48:25.520
churches. Different states actually had their own church establishments. I'm not going that far and
00:48:31.400
saying we need to have these specific church establishments because frankly, I don't like the
00:48:34.380
ones they had. But what I am pointing out, and this is one of the things I talk about in my upcoming book,
00:48:39.920
Speechless Controlling Words, Controlling Minds, is that this sort of thing exists. The church always
00:48:47.900
has some relationship to the state. Religion always has some relationship to government. And our politics
00:48:53.460
is such that either we're going to use the power or our opponents are going to use the power. And I would
00:49:00.560
just assume we use the power when the people give it to us. I want to try a little experiment before
00:49:03.700
we go. Speechless. Speechless. I just wanted to see. I just wanted to break it before the weekend.

Hey everybody, this is Andrew Klavan, host of The Andrew Klavan Show. You know,
00:50:18.600
some people are depressed because the republic is collapsing, the end of days is approaching,
00:50:23.020
and the moon's turned to blood. But on The Andrew Klavan Show, that's where the fun just gets started.
