00:00:37.700 The woke chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley, is calling former President Trump a Nazi who attempted a coup.

00:00:44.940 President Trump, for his part, is insulting General Milley and also insisting, quote,

00:00:51.380 I'm not into coups.

00:00:52.660 At the same time, there is potentially consequential evidence of voter fraud in Georgia just coming out.

00:01:00.280 And with all of that going on, is it any wonder that huge swaths of America want to succeed?

00:01:06.820 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:01:07.680 It's The Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:08.500 Welcome back to the show.

00:01:16.380 My favorite comment yesterday, quote,

00:01:20.060 So when Joe Rogan states his opinion on the vaccine, it's don't listen to him, he's not a doctor.

00:01:25.760 But when a teenage singer in 10-inch heels tells everyone to take the vaccine,

00:01:29.780 everyone needs to listen to her immediately and go get vaccinated. 0.86

00:01:32.460 Now you're getting it.

00:01:33.580 Now you understand.

00:01:34.960 That's how the science and the expertise works.

00:01:38.580 If you ally with some scientists and the liberal blob, that's all good and your word is as good as the gospel.

00:01:45.940 If you ally with other scientists and the dissidents, the people on the right, the conservatives,

00:01:52.000 then you are endangering public health and you need to be cast into the outer darkness where there is wailing and gnashing of teeth.

00:01:58.120 Do you know where there isn't wailing and gnashing of teeth?

00:02:00.080 On my Helix mattress because it's so comfy.

00:02:02.240 When I am on the road, one thing that I truly miss is my Helix mattress because Helix makes a mattress designed for you.

00:02:10.180 You're a very special person, okay?

00:02:12.100 You don't just need the one-size-fits-all mattress.

00:02:14.380 You want to know exactly how soft.

00:02:16.380 What's your weight?

00:02:17.100 What's your size?

00:02:17.900 What do you want?

00:02:18.920 Well, Helix knows that everyone's unique.

00:03:11.320 Very serious allegations of voter fraud in Georgia.

00:03:14.520 This coming from Tucker Carlson who uncovered what's going on.

00:03:18.380 Here are just the facts.

00:03:19.620 We don't know very much more about this right now, but here's what we do know.

00:03:22.980 At least 36 batches of mail-in ballots from the election were double-counted in Fulton County, where all of us were saying there were irregularities.

00:03:32.800 And the blob told us that there were no irregularities in Fulton County, and how dare you suggest otherwise.

00:03:37.920 And if you do, you're an insurrectionist, Nazi, coup-engaging, secessionist, or whatever, and you'd be banned from social media if you said it.

00:03:45.500 We said it anyway.

00:03:46.240 We had to dance around the new rules because the censors really didn't want this stuff coming out.

00:03:51.740 Well, now we know there were at least 36 batches of mail-ins that were double-counted.

00:03:56.560 That's a total of more than 4,000 votes.

00:03:58.440 By the way, keep in mind, Biden won in Georgia by fewer than 13,000 votes.

00:04:03.940 So 4,000 votes really matters here.

00:04:06.140 4,000 votes from that batch that was double-counted.

00:04:09.120 Those numbers come from a group called Voter GA, Voter Georgia, which had to sue to even get access to the ballots to see what was going on.

00:04:17.600 The final tally from the double-counts that we know about amounts to more than 3,300 votes for Joe Biden and 865 votes for Donald Trump.

00:04:27.120 Even the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, which is left-leaning, agrees with this in theory.

00:04:35.060 There's an elections expert.

00:04:36.860 His name is Mark Davis.

00:04:38.120 He analyzed data from the post office because don't forget there's widespread use of mail-in votes.

00:04:43.420 He found that 35,000 Georgia voters had moved out of their county of residence more than a month prior to election day, making them ineligible to vote.

00:04:53.500 So according to that election expert, 35,000 of those votes not eligible.

00:04:57.520 To remind you, 13,000 votes decided the election in Georgia.

00:05:02.100 Are we allowed to say this?

00:05:03.420 Are we allowed to point this at Tucker's said it?

00:05:04.900 He said it on television.

00:05:05.760 So I'm hoping that gives us a little, but probably not.

00:05:08.840 I think the rules are actually tighter on social media than they are in certain areas of TV.

00:05:12.860 But if you suggest those hate facts, if you suggest those dangerous, evil, terrible truths, then you will be smeared as a Nazi and a vile, bigot insurrectionist, which is what the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is doing, Mark Milley.

00:05:30.560 There's a great meme of General Milley going around where he's got pink Megan Rapinoe hair.

00:05:36.040 And instead of all of his medals and ribbons, he's just got the rainbow flag, even BLM. 0.53

00:05:42.820 It's him like, I don't know why people think that the army's gone woke.

00:05:45.640 Listen up, soldier.

00:05:48.560 Did you just misgender me?

00:05:50.300 So anyway, Milley is really, really going far left.

00:05:53.360 And according to a new book, he said of the Capitol riot, he said, quote,

00:05:58.220 These guys are Nazis. 0.59

00:05:59.660 They're boogaloo boys. 1.00

00:06:00.940 They're proud boys.

00:06:02.520 These are the same people we fought in World War II.

00:06:06.860 Yeah, that's it.

00:06:07.880 The horn guy.

00:06:09.860 The horn guy dancing on Pelosi's desk.

00:06:12.860 The smiley guy with the lectern.

00:06:14.760 They're basically Adolf Eichmann, right?

00:06:17.660 They're Himmler, I think, is, I don't think so.

00:06:22.660 I don't think horn guy is Dr. Mengele or Goebbels or Hitler or anyone else.

00:06:27.580 I think General Milley is just a hysterical little lib.

00:06:35.660 I don't know how else to put it.

00:06:36.980 I know he's a big, tough military guy, but he's really, really pathetic.

00:06:42.220 Really pathetic.

00:06:42.820 As President Trump said, President Trump, you know, he doesn't have Twitter now,

00:06:46.160 so he can't tweet, but he sends out these press statements that just are tweets.

00:06:52.320 But there's no character limits, so sometimes they go on longer.

00:06:54.740 But they just are his tweets.

00:06:56.140 And then journalists will post some of them on Twitter, so it's a way for him to get around the van.

00:07:00.740 I have to read this one at length.

00:07:02.460 This statement from President Trump just, it pulled on my heartstrings because it reminded me how much Jack Dorsey took from us.

00:07:11.700 How much I miss this man.

00:07:13.100 His response to General Milley.

00:07:14.940 Despite massive voter fraud and irregularities in the 2020 presidential election scam that we are now seeing play out in very big and important states,

00:07:22.380 I never threatened or spoke to anyone a coup of our government.

00:07:25.860 So ridiculous.

00:07:27.260 Sorry to inform you, but an election is my form of coup.

00:07:30.320 And it's one of the great lines.

00:07:32.380 And if I was going to do a coup, one of the last people I would want to do it with is General Mark Milley.

00:07:39.080 Why is that, Mr. President?

00:07:40.780 He got his job only because the world's most overrated general, James Mattis, could not stand him, had no respect for him, and would not recommend him.

00:07:49.900 To me, so hold on, wait a second.

00:07:51.680 You're telling me that Mattis didn't like this guy.

00:07:53.580 So you appointed him to a position, Mr. President?

00:07:55.740 Yes, he says, to me, the fact that Mattis didn't like him, just like Obama didn't like him and actually fired Milley, was a good thing, not a bad thing.

00:08:03.800 I often act counter to people's advice who I don't respect.

00:08:06.880 So now he's taking the opportunity to go after Milley and his apparent opponent, Jim Mattis, at the same time.

00:08:12.800 In any respect, I lost respect for Milley when we walked together to St. John's Church, which was still smoldering from a radical left fire set the day before.

00:08:20.040 Side by side, a walk that has now been proven to be totally appropriate.

00:08:22.420 That's true.

00:08:23.100 People said that it was awful and violent.

00:08:24.680 They cleared the place of peaceful protesters, and that just isn't true.

00:08:28.820 Even the mainstream media had to admit that now.

00:08:30.700 And the following day, Milley choked like a dog in front of the fake news when they told him they thought he should have been walking with the president, which turned out to be incorrect.

00:08:37.880 He apologized profusely, making it a big story instead of saying, I am proud to walk with and protect the president of the United States.

00:08:43.360 Had he said that, it would have all been over, no big deal.

00:08:45.460 But I saw at that moment he had no courage or skill, certainly not the type of person I would be talking coup with.

00:08:50.720 So, I think it's probably ill-advised for President Trump to keep bringing up this hypothetical of what he would do if he were going to perpetrate a coup d'etat.

00:09:00.580 But it's very funny.

00:09:01.800 It's very Trumpy.

00:09:02.440 And the points he's making here about Milley's lack of political courage, that is just obviously true.

00:09:06.940 Whatever courage Milley has had on the battlefield, in the arena of politics, the guy licks his finger, puts it in the air, figures out which way the wind blows.

00:09:13.460 And when it blows left, he goes with it.

00:09:16.640 Then, then the greatest line of this entire not tweet.

00:09:21.500 He's not the type of person I would be talking coup with.

00:09:23.620 I'm not into coups.

00:09:25.580 I'm not into coups.

00:09:26.840 In fact, around the same time, Milley, in a conversation, was an advocate of changing all the names of our military forts and bases.

00:09:31.640 He was going on that he's woke, he's left, he's terrible, and he's destroying the country.

00:09:35.540 Really good, really good tweet from President Trump.

00:09:38.040 And really good point.

00:09:38.840 I mean, it's funny and it's entertaining.

00:09:40.620 And this is something, by the way, when people go after President Trump for the tweets, you should know that Antonin Scalia, as urbane and educated and serious an American statesman as ever we've had in recent memory, he pursued the same strategy.

00:09:58.800 Trump tweets with wild language and audacious statements and crazy capitalization because it gets your attention and then you read them.

00:10:08.120 If he had issued a bland press statement, none of us would be reading it today, including me.

00:10:13.360 Scalia did the same thing with his dissents.

00:10:15.560 When he would lose a case and he felt it was a really bad decision, he would write a dissent that was often very funny.

00:10:23.500 He would use words like applesauce and argalbarble.

00:10:26.260 He would use statements when they redefined marriage and pretended that there's a constitutional right to intimacy.

00:10:32.180 Scalia made fun of that and in it he said, marriage restricts rather than expands the right to intimacy.

00:10:38.860 Ask the nearest hippie.

00:10:40.660 That's a kind of Trumpy statement.

00:10:42.660 It's one that catches your attention.

00:10:43.800 It catches the attention of law students.

00:10:44.940 I'm glad that Trump did that because what's going on in our federal government right now is radical.

00:10:52.620 It's woke.

00:10:53.240 It's insane.

00:10:53.900 It's upending our traditional standards.

00:10:55.420 But people aren't paying too much attention to it.

00:10:57.860 Senator Cruz often refers to this as boring but radical.

00:11:02.120 But it's kind of boring.

00:11:03.220 It's just the chairman of the Joint Chiefs.

00:11:05.060 He's just going to get the critical race theory into the reading list or the chief naval operations or the heads of the various departments.

00:11:13.160 They're just going to push radical policies and no one's going to say boo.

00:11:17.080 And Joe Biden's so boring that he doesn't attract a lot of attention.

00:11:20.880 The DHS secretary right now, Mayorkas, is issuing a directive to the Cubans who are protesting against the communist regime.

00:11:28.020 This is Mayorkas. 0.58

00:11:29.300 This is the Biden administration.

00:11:30.520 They've actually told people to surge to the border at various times.

00:11:34.520 Now he's saying to the Cubans, don't come.

00:11:36.620 Allow me to be clear.

00:11:39.860 If you take to the sea, you will not come to the United States.

00:11:45.720 The time is never right to attempt migration by sea.

00:11:49.980 To those who risk their lives doing so, this risk is not worth taking.

00:11:56.560 Again, I repeat, do not risk your life attempting to enter the United States illegally.

00:12:03.600 Finally, you will not come to the United States. 0.92

00:12:07.820 By the way, the policy for decades in the United States with regard to Cuban illegal immigration was called wet foot, dry foot.

00:12:14.320 If you got one foot onto American soil, you were given asylum.

00:12:19.280 You would not have to be returned to Cuba.

00:12:21.280 And it's a great, great policy, especially because Cubans vote for Republicans.

00:12:24.420 So I really, really love that policy.

00:12:26.640 Barack Obama reversed that because he was sympathetic toward Cuba's communist government.

00:12:30.920 And now Mayorkas is doubling down.

00:12:33.600 What the administration is saying, sometimes explicitly, sometimes implicitly, is,

00:12:37.240 Hey, Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Mexico, flood over. 0.99

00:12:41.060 Come over to our country. 1.00

00:12:43.220 Cross the border illegally in record numbers.

00:12:45.620 Oh, Cubans? 1.00

00:12:47.080 The one Hispanic group that votes Republican?

00:12:49.800 The one Hispanic group that is not statistically very likely to vote for Democrats?

00:12:54.200 Yeah, don't come.

00:12:55.140 Don't come.

00:12:55.660 You stay there.

00:12:56.480 Stay in your communist oppression.

00:12:58.900 The whole situation just makes you want some relief.

00:13:03.920 It's nauseating to think about what's going on.

00:13:06.980 And when I'm feeling nauseated, I reach for relief band.

00:13:10.180 There are lots of reasons that people can feel nauseated.

00:13:12.840 Some of them are pretty serious.

00:13:14.960 Chemotherapy, for instance, or morning sickness, or migraines.

00:13:18.400 I get a lot of migraines.

00:13:19.640 Anxiety.

00:13:20.720 Some people, it's just a plain old hangover.

00:13:23.380 And whatever the cause of your nausea, you've got to try out relief band.

00:14:17.100 The official policy of the Biden administration with regard to communist Cuba is the refugees

00:14:23.560 can't come here.

00:14:25.160 Refugees from all over Latin America come to the United States.

00:14:28.500 Refugees from all over the Middle East come to the United States.

00:14:31.840 Refugees from huge swaths of Africa come to the United States.

00:14:37.800 Refugees from Cuba, too bad. 1.00

00:14:40.380 Gotta keep living under communism.

00:14:41.620 They actually can't even call it communism.

00:14:43.120 Jen Psaki was just asked about what's going on.

00:14:46.220 She squirmed. 1.00

00:14:47.120 She couldn't utter the word communism.

00:14:49.860 Do you think that people are leaving Cuba because they don't like communism?

00:14:53.620 I think we've been pretty clear that we think people are leaving Cuba or not leaving Cuba or

00:14:58.440 protesting in the streets all as well because they are opposed to the oppression, to the mismanagement

00:15:04.620 of the government in the country.

00:15:06.400 And we certainly support their rights to protest.

00:15:08.260 We support their efforts to speak out against their treatment in Cuba.

00:15:12.660 I will say separately, an important question is also what happens when people are seeking

00:15:17.820 protection or what happens when they are attempting to flee.

00:15:22.960 In the past, as I noted, we've had several humanitarian programs, such as family reunification

00:15:28.320 parole programs for both Haiti and Cuba.

00:15:30.840 Those were policies or processes that were in place prior to the Trump administration.

00:15:36.260 Those have not been turned back on, as Secretary Mayorkas said yesterday.

00:15:42.120 That was a lot of words to say yes.

00:15:45.860 Wasn't that because the question was, do you think people are fleeing communism?

00:15:49.520 The answer is yes.

00:15:51.260 That's what the Cubans are saying it is.

00:15:53.540 That's what serious observers are saying it is in the United States.

00:15:56.680 But the government, our own government can't say yes.

00:15:59.620 She said, I think we've been pretty clear.

00:16:00.960 So, blah, blah, blah, blah, you see, and the thing, and the fact, and you know, and the

00:16:06.300 but, and the heat.

00:16:07.140 Well, that's not very clear.

00:16:08.940 Not very clear at all.

00:16:12.200 If the ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we'd all have a Merry Christmas because Jen Psaki's 1.00

00:16:16.820 statement contained a lot of them.

00:16:18.360 And she can't call out communism because not only is the United States government broadly

00:16:24.260 sympathetic to the Castro communist regime, as Barack Obama proved when he tried to normalize

00:16:29.900 relations without any concessions whatsoever.

00:16:32.200 And when he downplayed communism in Havana, but also because the American left is broadly

00:16:38.220 sympathetic to communism.

00:16:39.600 That's, that's not an, that's not an overstatement.

00:16:42.980 It's not hyperbolic.

00:16:44.640 Now, whenever you invoke communism, this is one of the major ideological developments of

00:16:50.060 the past century and a half.

00:16:52.160 It was very, had played a very significant role in the politics of the last century.

00:16:55.960 Whenever you mention communism, you're told, oh, that's the Red Scare.

00:17:00.940 Oh, you're worried about a phantom.

00:17:02.380 Oh, you're worried.

00:17:02.880 It's just imaginary.

00:17:04.400 Communism is one of the most consequential political movements that has ever existed.

00:17:08.280 The communist empire in the Soviet Union still existed 30 years ago.

00:17:12.760 It was still up.

00:17:13.580 It was still moving.

00:17:14.140 There's still communist governments on earth.

00:17:16.240 And the American left has always been very sympathetic to it.

00:17:19.040 In some cases, they openly defended it.

00:17:21.600 But in some cases, they deceived our own government and got into very high positions of power in

00:17:27.020 the government.

00:17:27.440 I'm thinking of Alger Hiss.

00:17:28.580 I'm thinking of Harry Dexter White.

00:17:29.820 I'm thinking of many, many other communists in the government to advocate for communism.

00:17:35.520 And we're not, we're not even going to mention it now.

00:17:39.160 But BLM is an explicitly Marxist organization.

00:17:43.160 Huge numbers of leftist professors who are forming the minds of the next generation of Americans

00:17:48.340 are openly Marxists.

00:17:50.540 And this is why, by the way.

00:17:52.180 So BLM, that's what's going on in the streets right now.

00:17:54.220 That is the terrorist wing of the Democratic Party.

00:17:57.020 BLM is openly defending the Cuban regime. 0.95

00:17:59.540 BLM sent out a statement, quote,

00:18:01.340 I'm going to truncate it.

00:18:02.720 It was a very, very long statement, but it wasn't as funny as Trump.

00:18:05.000 So I'll just read the highlights.

00:18:07.220 Black Lives Matter condemns the U.S. federal government's inhumane treatment of Cubans.

00:18:11.080 Pause right there.

00:18:13.020 The Cubans living in the United States seem to be thriving.

00:18:17.140 You know, they've got, I don't know if you've been to Miami recently.

00:18:19.300 They're living their best life, okay?

00:18:20.880 They're doing a lot better than the Cubans are doing in Cuba, 1.00

00:18:24.140 where the Cuban government actually is oppressing them.

00:18:27.580 BLM urges the United States to immediately lift the economic embargo.

00:18:30.700 The people of Cuba are being punished by the U.S. government

00:18:32.700 because the country has maintained its commitment to sovereignty and self-determination.

00:18:36.560 U.S. leaders have tried to crush this revolution for decades, right?

00:18:39.320 The communist regime in Cuba, which is now 60 years old, is still called the revolution.

00:18:44.280 This is why the communist leaders like Fidel Castro still wear military fatigues

00:18:48.240 because they're obviously just the dictatorship, the corrupt government there,

00:18:53.420 but they have to pretend that they're still revolutionaries

00:18:55.340 because the revolution is always perpetual on the left.

00:18:58.460 Now we look to President Biden to end the embargo, something Barack Obama called for in 2016.

00:19:01.800 This embargo is a blatant violation of human rights, and it must come to an end.

00:19:07.280 The Cuban protesters don't agree with BLM.

00:19:10.000 The Cuban protesters wave as their chief symbol of protest, the American flag.

00:19:16.440 They sew it onto their blue jeans.

00:19:19.560 They put American flag stickers onto their bicycles.

00:19:22.580 I saw it myself.

00:19:23.860 That is the protest symbol in Cuba.

00:19:26.480 In the United States, leftists chill for the communist regime in Cuba,

00:19:32.260 and they burn the American flag, and they disrespect the American flag.

00:19:35.480 Not just the fringe radicals, not just the BLM terrorists in the streets, 0.88

00:19:38.960 but professional football players, elected Democrats, all the way up.

00:19:45.200 They disrespect the American flag.

00:19:47.120 That's the difference.

00:19:48.700 That's the difference.

00:19:49.460 Is it any wonder, then, that huge swaths of the country want to secede?

00:19:54.960 They do.

00:19:56.280 We talked about this yesterday, the civil war.

00:19:58.380 Because you're getting a lot of civil war rhetoric from Joe Biden.

00:20:02.320 Joe Biden keeps invoking the civil war.

00:20:04.740 You're not getting a lot of civil war rhetoric from Republican leaders or conservative leaders.

00:20:11.140 I don't think the conservatives and the Republicans are that eager to wage a civil war or anything like that.

00:20:18.340 But, according to a new poll, there are a lot of Republicans, especially in the South,

00:20:23.060 who favor secession.

00:20:24.960 And, by the way, there are a lot of Democrats who favor secession, especially in the Pacific Northwest.

00:20:30.200 A poll conducted by YouGov, in conjunction with Bright Line Watch, asked this question.

00:20:36.480 Would you support or oppose your state seceding from the United States

00:20:39.880 to join a new union with a list of some new states in the union?

00:20:43.860 It varies, obviously, by state.

00:20:45.720 37% overall want to dissolve the union.

00:20:50.040 37% of Americans, period, want to dissolve the United States.

00:20:54.980 Not a good sign.

00:20:56.900 Republicans and independents in the South, so independents as well, not just Republicans,

00:21:01.960 were favorable to secession.

00:21:04.500 66% of the Republicans in the South, 50% of the independents.

00:21:07.980 But then, even of the Democrats, it's almost the same number.

00:21:11.820 47% of Democrats in Pacific states said that they want to break off.

00:21:16.720 And huge portions of independents in the heartland and the mountain states also want to form their own country.

00:21:20.680 Why? Why do they want to do this?

00:21:21.800 Because, as a matter of culture, and increasingly as a matter of official policy,

00:21:29.340 we are living in different countries.

00:21:32.420 There is a major disagreement about what the country is.

00:21:35.040 This is one of the aspects that I cover in my book, Speechless.

00:21:37.200 In the 1970s, when the second wave feminists came in and they said the personal is the political, 0.99

00:21:42.180 they upended all of the settled norms and standards and rituals and traditions of our culture.

00:21:48.120 So everything was up for political debate.

00:21:50.020 This is why now we have political debates over our running shoes and our chicken sandwiches.

00:21:53.880 So, and what a man is.

00:21:55.740 We can't even agree what a man is or what a woman is. 0.98

00:21:57.820 So because we have all of these debates right now, we have radically different views.

00:22:04.040 In order to have a country, you need to have some things in common.

00:22:07.500 And so that can be any number of things.

00:22:08.940 That can be religion.

00:22:10.660 Well, we increasingly don't have that.

00:22:12.240 It can be race.

00:22:13.220 Many countries in the world have a common race, but the United States does not. 0.60

00:22:17.140 This was the joke yesterday when the economist was shocked that the Italian soccer team was made up of Italians.

00:22:23.000 No one is shocked that the Nigerian soccer team is made up of Nigerians, but the Italians, it's not allowed to be made up of Italians. 0.91

00:22:29.520 But in the United States, we obviously don't have a common race.

00:22:32.000 It can be a common language.

00:22:33.020 Increasingly, we don't even have a common language, right?

00:22:35.980 A lot of people notably will speak Spanish and will not be encouraged to assimilate and learn English.

00:22:41.380 But even the people who speak English don't speak a common language because some people call Bruce Jenner, Bruce Jenner and call him he.

00:22:48.860 And some people call Bruce Jenner, Caitlyn Jenner and call him her.

00:22:52.440 And so even the people who are speaking English are not speaking the same language.

00:22:57.700 And we have different national symbols.

00:23:00.160 The conservatives have the American flag, the stars and stripes, and the leftists have the rainbow flag and the BLM flag. 0.63

00:23:05.320 And those are the different symbols of different countries.

00:23:07.000 So it's no wonder that people want us to see.

00:23:08.580 They're seeing this secession happening before their very eyes.

00:23:11.880 The only question is if one is going to acknowledge it.

00:23:14.240 And the only way that we're going to survive as a country with these kinds of troubling numbers is not maximizing everyone's individual choice to believe whatever they want and define their own concept of existence.

00:23:24.340 It is to insist upon a unified standard and get everybody on the same page on certain fundamental matters.

00:23:32.320 At the very least, who's a man and who's a woman? 0.98

00:23:38.180 Who is a man? 0.59

00:23:39.620 Who is a woman? 1.00

00:23:40.320 That is a question that really is very troubling these days.

00:23:42.880 And the emojis are not making this any easier.

00:23:47.480 Emoji is releasing new, you know, the little pictures of people that you put in text messages.

00:23:51.520 So they're releasing new emojis, including a pregnant man.

00:23:57.120 So it's a man with a mustache with a big belly. 0.63

00:24:01.080 And he's kind of holding his belly.

00:24:02.500 And I was trying to think, is there any way to see the glass half full here to find a silver lining in this storm cloud of sexual confusion?

00:24:08.020 And I thought, yes, I finally have an emoji to represent how I feel after I eat a delicious hoagie.

00:24:17.220 So I've never had that emoji before.

00:24:19.920 You know, maybe I'll do a smiley face or a sleepy face.

00:24:22.540 But no, it's a man rubbing his belly with a smile on his face.

00:24:27.980 That is my, I now can express myself.

00:24:30.880 I'm pleased.

00:24:31.680 Some people are going to be confused, though, and believe that it suggests that a man can become pregnant when, in fact, a man cannot become pregnant.

00:24:39.020 But our emojis, don't forget, they're not just little pictures.

00:24:42.120 They are part of our language.

00:24:44.940 They are how we communicate.

00:24:46.460 And the younger you are, the more likely you are to be adept at communicating in this way like the ancient Egyptians with hieroglyphics.

00:24:54.240 You'll understand more what the meaning of the emojis is, the various ironies, and things like that.

00:25:00.720 So people are making fun of the pregnant man now.

00:25:03.040 But as language persists, this will just come to be considered normal.

00:25:07.780 Mark my words.

00:25:09.980 Big tech is going to insist on that.

00:25:11.300 Because right now, by the way, if you question it, if you say, you know, Bruce Jenner is a man or something,

00:25:15.960 you are at grave risk of being booted from social media, from communications platforms.

00:25:21.220 And so you will be silenced.

00:25:23.200 You won't be able to communicate at all.

00:25:25.220 And the Biden administration wants to ramp this up.

00:25:27.820 So Joe Biden's surgeon general right now is calling on big tech to impose even greater penalties on people who post misinformation about COVID-19 and about the vaccine.

00:25:43.300 They want to slow the spread of misinformation, and they want to punish information that is false, inaccurate, or misleading according to the best available evidence.

00:25:50.540 And there's the problem.

00:25:51.100 There is the problem about the best available evidence.

00:25:53.880 Because if you had asked me when the vaccines were first announced, hey, should young people who are at statistically very, very little risk of dying of COVID, should they take the vaccine?

00:26:06.000 I would have said no, because the vaccines almost certainly pose some risk.

00:26:11.480 I mean, they do pose a risk because we didn't really know very much about them.

00:26:14.280 And I think it could be dangerous to young people.

00:26:16.160 And the young people don't face a great danger from the virus.

00:26:18.280 So no, they shouldn't.

00:26:19.020 They shouldn't get the vaccine.

00:26:19.920 And unless they're absolutely impelled to do it.

00:26:23.620 But then it's a political reason.

00:26:24.560 It's not a scientific or medical reason to get the vaccine.

00:26:26.900 And according to the best available evidence at that time, that was misinformation.

00:26:31.260 Because we were told by all the genius experts the vaccines are 100% safe.

00:26:36.020 There is no risk whatsoever for anybody.

00:26:38.880 And then what did we find out?

00:26:41.080 The FDA and the CDC are saying the Johnson & Johnson vaccine causes blood clots in some cases in women.

00:26:46.800 The Johnson & Johnson vaccine, we are told by the actual public health professionals now.

00:26:52.160 And the agencies is causing rare side effects, a nervous system side effect in men and women.

00:27:00.480 We're told that the mRNA vaccines are causing myocarditis in young people, where this would be very rare to experience otherwise.

00:27:08.880 So I would have been right.

00:27:11.960 But because I was telling the truth in the face of the genius experts, that would have been called misinformation.

00:27:20.260 This is how the regime operates.

00:27:23.140 The information changes, but the imposition does not.

00:27:25.840 And people want you to get that vaccine.

00:27:28.100 In California now, I think we actually predicted this on this show.

00:27:31.540 I don't remember the exact circumstance, but I do remember talking about this in the hypothetical.

00:27:35.760 In California now, they are so desperate to get people to take the vaccine that they are offering them marijuana, the sin spinach, the devil's lettuce, joints for jabs in Long Beach, California.

00:27:51.140 People who are age 21 and older, who get vaccinated at a pop-up clinic, will receive a token redeemable for one pre-arrolled joint, quote, to encourage equitable distribution of the COVID vaccine.

00:28:06.180 Coronavirus is a respiratory infection.

00:28:09.260 It causes people to cough.

00:28:13.020 It makes it difficult to breathe.

00:28:15.260 And in very extreme cases, you need to be intubated.

00:28:18.140 And so to convince you to get the vaccine to allegedly protect your lungs, they are going to give you a drug that rips up your lungs.

00:28:27.100 That is the logic of our genius public health professionals.

00:28:32.900 Because, by the way, everyone wants the vaccine, right?

00:28:35.200 Because, by the way, COVID is so dangerous.

00:28:36.960 It's so dangerous that no one wants the vaccine.

00:28:40.640 The vaccine, which is so wonderful that nobody wants it, they've actually got to bribe potheads with drugs to get it. 0.62

00:28:47.500 Makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?

00:28:48.860 Speaking of dubious medical science, up in America's Hat, our neighbors up there in Canada, the Toronto Police Department is refusing to confirm the biological sex of an alleged child sex offender.

00:29:05.840 The Daily Wire reached out for comment to this police department.

00:29:09.280 And the police department said that the information is, quote, irrelevant.

00:29:12.820 And instead, they just discussed this sex abuser's gender identity and preferred pronouns.

00:29:23.100 The authorities, in Canada, but, you know, it's America's Hat.

00:29:26.300 It's on its way here.

00:29:27.840 The authorities are now saying that sex is irrelevant to a sex crime case.

00:29:34.600 It's irrelevant.

00:29:35.140 It doesn't matter.

00:29:35.680 And this guy is obviously a dude.

00:29:37.340 He goes by Ruby E.B.

00:29:38.940 He's a 33-year-old.

00:29:40.180 He has sexually abused others in the past.

00:29:41.800 You can see a picture of him.

00:29:42.600 He's obviously a dude.

00:29:44.060 But the woke PD up in Toronto will not acknowledge that because that might be offensive to the child molester.

00:29:51.300 And we can't do that.

00:29:51.940 But really, it would just be offensive to the liberal regime, which is trying to redefine all of reality up to and including nature.

00:29:57.780 This is going to cause a political realignment, some rethinking.

00:30:03.960 Historically speaking, conservatives are the group that supports the military and the police.

00:30:09.840 Back the blue, you know, support our troops, right?

00:30:12.020 That sort of thing.

00:30:13.520 Those organizations, the PDs and the military, were some of the last holdouts against infiltration by the left, which had at that point taken over virtually every other institution.

00:30:22.600 And now that's broken down.

00:30:25.420 The BLM riots of 2020, the exploitation of George Floyd dying, was in no small part a move to infiltrate the police departments, to defund, to abolish, and really just to infiltrate and to exercise some influence over it. 0.74

00:30:42.860 So a lot of police just quit.

00:30:43.960 A lot of conservative police officers just quit.

00:30:46.220 That was the point.

00:30:47.580 The woke army ad that we covered on this show, where we were told that the way to prepare to fight a war is to have two lesbian parents that take you to pride parades. 0.85

00:30:54.400 The woke CIA ad where we were told the way to defeat our enemies is by being a woke, intersectional, Latinist, feminist, whatever, you know. 1.00

00:31:02.580 Those were not accidents.

00:31:04.040 The reason that those ads are put out there is to discourage conservatives from joining and remaining in those institutions and to encourage leftists to go into them.

00:31:12.320 And they're working.

00:31:13.740 And they're working.

00:31:14.240 So now conservatives are going to be looking at some of the enforcement arms of the dominant liberal regime.

00:31:20.180 And they're probably not going to be quite as supportive.

00:31:22.680 Because if back the blue means that you've got to refuse to acknowledge the sex of a child molester, if back the blue means, if support our troops means that you've got to support critical race theory being taught in our military by woke generals who call conservatives Nazis,

00:31:40.220 then I suppose we can't really do that anymore.

00:31:42.200 I think what we really have to do is go back in and retake those institutions and defend those institutions and re-embrace some old sturdy standards.

00:31:52.500 You know, Candace does this sort of thing very well. 1.00

00:31:54.880 That woman does not mince words. 1.00

00:32:20.520 Thank you to those who have reviewed it, who have bought the book, made it a number one national bestseller.

00:32:25.040 Such a great bestseller that the New York Times decided to snub it.

00:32:28.620 We appreciate that.

00:32:29.180 Once you order that book, then you've got to order The Authoritarian Moment by Ben, if for no other reason than because that will be my campaign slogan in 2028.

00:32:37.360 Go check that out right now.

00:32:39.100 We'll be right back with The Mailbag.

00:32:51.800 My favorite time of the week, The Mailbag.

00:32:54.720 First question from Camille.

00:32:56.180 Hey Michael, I recently found out that men and women both value sense of humor when looking for a partner, but the way each sex defines that is different.

00:33:05.960 Women define it as someone who can make them laugh, while men define it as someone who will laugh at their jokes. 0.99

00:33:12.900 I have also heard that men wouldn't want to date someone funnier than them.

00:33:18.360 Now, I'm not saying I'm a comedian, but I humbly will say that I'm quite funny.

00:33:21.740 Do you believe the aforementioned statements, and do you think a woman should tone it down when dating a man, at least early on? 0.80

00:33:28.920 There is something to be said about playing the game when it comes to dating and not revealing too much of yourself.

00:33:33.840 But what about being yourself when looking for a long-term partner, since that is what will create a deep and real relationship?

00:33:39.840 Thanks.

00:33:40.320 Sincerely, funny how?

00:33:41.980 Like I amuse you?

00:33:43.700 It's a great name to sign off with, Camille.

00:33:45.580 So, this is generally true.

00:33:49.960 Men generally do not care if women are funny.

00:33:52.460 Men generally value a sense of humor in women more.

00:33:56.240 Christopher Hitchens wrote an infamous essay about this called Why Women Aren't Funny. 0.75

00:34:00.780 It was in Vanity Fair.

00:34:02.140 He said there were three carve-outs of women who, he said, generally they're not funny, but they can be funny if they are.

00:34:08.580 His words, not mine.

00:34:09.820 Hefty or dykey or Jewish or some combination of those things. 1.00

00:34:13.920 And people were very offended when he wrote this.

00:34:16.340 But then you say, hey, no, some women are funny, like Ellen DeGeno, or like Roseanne Bajo, or like Sarah Silver. 0.73

00:34:22.660 Oh, okay.

00:34:23.400 And so, it generally falls into that category.

00:34:26.000 However, I actually do value funny women. 1.00

00:34:29.180 I do.

00:34:30.040 I will say this.

00:34:31.800 I know this is not particularly conservative or traditional of me.

00:34:37.200 I really value how funny Sweet Little Lillies is.

00:34:40.600 She's genuinely funny.

00:34:41.920 Maybe it's because we grew up in New York, you know, you get a certain milieu.

00:34:47.580 Sometimes you get people who are a little bit funnier in those kind of places.

00:34:51.160 She is.

00:34:51.600 She's genuinely funny.

00:34:52.580 And she will come out with a quip, like a really quick line.

00:34:57.120 And I love it.

00:34:57.900 And I actually, I seriously value that.

00:35:00.740 But it is, generally speaking, men don't really care about that as much because they find women beautiful.

00:35:06.200 And women are just not physically attracted to men in the same way that men are physically attracted to women.

00:35:11.740 So, men have to be funny in order to attract women, which is one of the reasons that things have developed that way. 0.97

00:35:17.840 But if you're a funny woman, and, you know, especially if you fall into one of the carve-outs that Christopher Hitchens permitted, then, you know, more power to you.

00:35:25.060 I think it's great.

00:35:26.140 From Benjamin.

00:35:26.740 Hey, Mr. Knowles, listening to your show, I notice you talk about a lot of negative and even dark topics such as the decline of the West, abortion, the redefinition of marriage, etc.

00:35:37.360 Yet, you do it with a smile on your face.

00:35:39.820 What is the source of your optimism?

00:35:41.400 Kind regards.

00:35:42.160 My optimism is not optimism.

00:35:45.060 Optimism is just a feeling.

00:35:46.380 It's just an emotion.

00:35:48.020 And so I don't rely on that.

00:35:50.500 I think it's just the flip side of pessimism.

00:35:53.120 I have hope, which is not just a feeling.

00:35:56.420 It is a fact.

00:35:57.300 It is a theological virtue.

00:35:59.380 And my hope is this, that my Savior lives.

00:36:03.000 And I know how the story ends.

00:36:04.600 You hear from the left that they have this faith in progress and utopia, right?

00:36:10.300 The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.

00:36:14.680 So I don't believe that.

00:36:15.880 I don't think things are getting better and better and better.

00:36:17.820 Quite to the contrary, I think things generally are getting worse and worse and worse.

00:36:21.420 But I do think there is a happy ending.

00:36:23.560 So I think this actually allows you to be a little bit sunnier than progressives.

00:36:28.560 Progressives have convinced themselves that things are going to be really good in the long run.

00:36:32.160 But because they've convinced themselves that they're going to get better the whole time,

00:36:36.740 then when things get worse, they get extremely angry and they yell and they scream.

00:36:40.000 And it's like the woman screaming no when Trump won the election because it just wasn't supposed to happen,

00:36:44.020 according to their worldview.

00:36:45.400 Whereas for me, I just assume that things are going to get worse and worse and worse and worse

00:36:49.480 until the good Lord comes to take us all up.

00:36:52.440 And so when things do get a little better temporarily, I'm pleasantly surprised.

00:36:56.200 But when things continue to get worse, I'm also somewhat pleased because I was right.

00:37:00.640 And because I know that ultimately things turn out very well if one keeps the faith.

00:37:07.680 Which is, by the way, that is a demand, you know.

00:37:10.880 When one is just morose and depressed and, you know,

00:37:14.300 obviously there's such a thing as clinical depression and these are just things that one cannot necessarily overcome

00:37:21.500 with just a smile on your face.

00:37:22.920 But there is also the social conditioning of being morose and negative and upset and depressed all the time.

00:37:29.280 And that's bad. I mean, that's a sin.

00:37:30.860 You're actually not permitted to do that.

00:37:32.440 You need courage. You need hope. It is a virtue.

00:37:35.360 And so do it. And then things will turn out just fine.

00:37:37.900 From Cambrai,

00:37:39.360 My friend and I bought a pig from the local fair.

00:37:42.560 When I went to transfer the money from my savings account to my checking account to pay for the pig,

00:37:46.740 my bank would not allow the transfer to go through

00:37:48.980 because the memo line pig could be seen as offensive to some people.

00:37:52.920 Like ugly people, right?

00:37:54.360 Who one would call pigs.

00:37:55.940 To people on the receiving end of Donald Trump's mean tweets.

00:37:59.540 Even my bank is holding my money hostage until I conform to the language they think is correct.

00:38:04.120 How are we supposed to deal with companies as they continue to make their policies more and more extreme?

00:38:10.960 Sincerely, they're baking me angry.

00:38:13.920 I really like this new trend among the listeners to sign off,

00:38:16.940 like in these advice columns with these very silly names.

00:38:19.940 And yes, that is the way that language works.

00:38:25.220 And the way politics works is that our political opponents are much better at this,

00:38:29.640 but everyone tries to manipulate language to give them an advantage.

00:38:33.360 One hopes you manipulate language within the bounds of reality and truth,

00:38:36.420 and what the left does is they manipulate language to invert reality and invert truth.

00:38:39.720 The lesson to me from this is not that the bank is doing something wrong and this is crazy and this is canceled.

00:38:48.040 Pigs are being canceled.

00:38:50.120 The lesson for me is we need institutional power.

00:38:55.340 The lesson is the left has institutional power to redefine all the words

00:39:00.260 and to say that some words are off limits and some words are not.

00:39:02.900 And so we can whine about that, but we actually just need to get institutional power

00:39:07.640 and we need to wield it and we need to set the standards ourselves.

00:39:10.560 And the left did the hard work of amassing that power and wielding it,

00:39:15.560 and we need to do that too.

00:39:16.620 From Jessica.

00:39:17.600 Hello there, swarthy Catholic sultan. 0.97

00:39:20.800 Hello there, Jessica.

00:39:22.360 Wow, what a saucy title you've given me.

00:39:25.300 It seems like every generation is weary of their successors,

00:39:29.680 claiming that they will be the worst generation yet.

00:39:31.560 I'm a young millennial, but definitely feel like Gen Z is going to run the country and world into the ground. 0.99

00:39:37.500 I mean, have you seen what they find funny on TikTok and other social media?

00:39:41.040 It's quite concerning.

00:39:42.640 Maybe I'm overly cynical, but what are your thoughts on the next generation

00:39:45.500 and the validity of intergenerational skepticism?

00:39:47.720 Sincerely, get off my lawn.

00:39:48.920 I'll tell you, Jessica, I have a different view.

00:39:51.680 I'm really pleased about the Zoomers. 0.83

00:39:53.700 I think the Zoomers, the generation that comes after the Millennials, 1.00

00:39:57.340 give me a great deal of hope.

00:39:58.480 I think in many ways they're much more conservative than the Millennials.

00:40:01.780 The Millennials are kind of the Obama generation, 0.99

00:40:03.660 so it's just that shallow, lame, kind of bland liberalism.

00:40:08.500 And so the Zoomers have more radical views at the moment, 0.83

00:40:12.040 also because they're just younger, and younger people tend to have kookier views.

00:40:15.440 But I think they see through a lot of the lies and platitudes and canards of the dominant liberal regime.

00:40:20.440 And I think actually the Zoomers have quite a lot to teach millennials about politics. 1.00

00:40:26.040 I'm not saying things are necessarily improving.

00:40:29.040 And I think, obviously, since the 1960s, we've just been in a free fall as a matter of culture and politics.

00:40:34.460 But I do have a glimmer.

00:40:36.300 To risk looking on the bright side, I do see a glimmer of hope in the next generation.

00:40:41.080 From Peter.

00:40:41.460 Hey, Michael.

00:40:42.360 I'm a 27-year-old survivor of blood cancer.

00:40:44.760 Prior to my cancer experience, I did not consider myself to be religious.

00:40:48.100 However, throughout my experience battling the disease, I found myself praying.

00:40:51.860 When I was first diagnosed at 23, I was politically on the left, or so I thought.

00:40:55.260 By default, living in a blue state.

00:40:57.200 Years later, I consider myself a conservative with a much deeper sense of faith.

00:41:01.180 I truly think that facing my mortality pushed me in this direction.

00:41:04.580 It's made me think that so many Americans, particularly on the left,

00:41:07.500 turn away from God because of their lack of awareness of their own mortality.

00:41:10.320 Do you believe this could be true?

00:41:12.080 I feel like people used to be more aware of their mortality, more familiar with death,

00:41:15.160 which in turn made them more familiar with God.

00:41:16.940 Perhaps there are atheists in the world who would truly be able to face 1.00

00:41:20.220 what seems like certain death without asking for God's grace.

00:41:22.700 But this was not my experience.

00:41:24.760 P.S. Speechless is fascinating and deeply important.

00:41:26.620 Thank you for all you do. Thanks.

00:41:27.800 Hey, well, thank you very much. I'm glad you enjoyed the book.

00:41:30.260 Yes, the recognition of mortality will make one more aware of God.

00:41:36.320 Not just because you get scared of the dark and you want some comfort.

00:41:42.660 I don't think that's how it works at all.

00:41:44.380 I agree with C.S. Lewis that if you look for truth, you might find comfort in the end.

00:41:48.480 But if you look for comfort, you'll find neither truth nor comfort,

00:41:51.180 only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin and in the end despair.

00:41:54.420 However, most people, when they ignore mortality, are just ignoring reality.

00:42:02.500 I mean, everyone who ignores mortality is just ignoring reality.

00:42:05.180 Mortality is a fact. It's a truth.

00:42:07.200 And so when you encounter that truth,

00:42:09.800 you begin to ask other questions about the nature of truth and the nature of reality.

00:42:16.200 One of which is, how does this world exist?

00:42:18.320 How is it that all of these contingent beings, such as myself in this world, exist?

00:42:25.400 Must there be some necessary being rather than a contingent being?

00:42:29.720 This would be one argument for the existence of God.

00:42:31.540 How is it that caused beings, such as myself,

00:42:35.040 I did not cause myself to come into existence.

00:42:37.180 How do all of these caused beings make sense if there's not an uncaused cause?

00:42:42.200 That would be another argument for the existence of God.

00:42:44.240 How is it the case that if some things are better than other things,

00:42:48.820 right, as we all know that there are,

00:42:50.560 that there is not some ultimate good.

00:42:52.820 There is necessarily some ultimate.

00:42:54.000 That would be another argument for the existence of God.

00:42:56.200 There are many more arguments for the existence of God

00:42:58.280 that I think the experience of mortality will give you.

00:43:01.580 There's a famous line from Dr. Johnson who says,

00:43:04.260 Depend upon it, sir.

00:43:05.600 When a man is to be hanged in a fortnight,

00:43:07.860 it concentrates his mind wonderfully.

00:43:10.060 The fact is, hanging does concentrate the mind.

00:43:12.340 And the recognition of your own mortality or the mortality of others can,

00:43:16.780 it's not that it will scare you into running away from the hard truth

00:43:19.620 that there is no God or whatever.

00:43:20.920 It's that it will show you a truth.

00:43:22.480 And the implication of that is, I think, that quite clearly that there is God.

00:43:26.280 From Peter.

00:43:27.840 Hey, Michael.

00:43:28.760 I've heard an argument from woke Christians 0.99

00:43:30.740 who claim that non-binary genders are actually biblical.

00:43:33.660 This seems clearly false because in Genesis,

00:43:36.420 God created mankind as male and female, right?

00:43:39.260 But they argue that the description of God's creation of clear dualities

00:43:41.940 was only meant to represent the ends of vast overlapping spectrums.

00:43:46.080 For example, we have night and day, but also dawn, dusk, and twilight.

00:43:50.200 And sky and sea creatures, but also water, fowl, and amphibians.

00:43:54.940 That makes sense to me.

00:43:56.360 But they claim this nuance also applies to the duality of male and female.

00:44:00.840 How do you respond to this?

00:44:02.140 Thanks.

00:44:02.520 Well, it's a very clever argument to obscure the plain fact of, for instance, the book of Genesis.

00:44:11.020 But then I would fast forward to the gospel according to St. Matthew when Christ explains what marriage is.

00:44:16.580 And when he explains what marriage is, he says,

00:44:18.660 God created, I'm paraphrasing obviously, but God creates marriage such that a man and a woman will leave their parents 0.86

00:44:25.780 and cleave to one another, and what God has joined, let no man rip asunder.

00:44:30.960 He doesn't say that, well, for one, he doesn't say that men and men will join together

00:44:35.860 and this will be identical to marriage, right?

00:44:37.860 That this is actually, actually marriage involves no sexual difference whatsoever.

00:44:41.000 He certainly doesn't say that.

00:44:41.840 But likewise, he doesn't say that half men, trans, pan, whatever, will join with a half goat, amphibian, whatever,

00:44:49.920 you know, and then they'll, no, it's, he's quite clear.

00:44:52.580 He's reaffirming what you see in Genesis.

00:44:55.900 And so I think he doesn't mince his words.

00:45:00.080 I don't, I think it would be very difficult to, you know,

00:45:02.680 even if one tried to take some preposterous, ahistorical, you know, delusional reading of Genesis.

00:45:09.480 Uh, there's also all those other books of the Bible.

00:45:13.060 So I, I just don't think that's, that's really very effective.

00:45:16.420 Final question.

00:45:17.200 Jason, hey, Michael, I was raised Protestant, but entered the Roman Catholic Church on Pentecost of this year.

00:45:21.300 I do not know many fellow Catholics, particularly any young women, if you get me.

00:45:25.140 Okay.

00:45:25.980 My question is, how can I meet a grounded, practicing Catholic woman in a world so caught up in sin and vice?

00:45:30.840 I admit I'm picky and I have zero interest in scouting bars in other places for women. 1.00

00:45:34.240 And I certainly don't want the accompanying temptations.

00:45:36.680 Maybe I should try tending a traditional Latin mass.

00:45:38.600 It's a tough day for that, pal.

00:45:40.440 P.S.

00:45:40.800 Please say a prayer for me and my brother Copps.

00:45:42.240 We're doing our best, even in this tumultuous moment.

00:45:44.020 Very respectfully, Jason.

00:45:45.600 Story we didn't get to.

00:45:46.500 I'll have to get to it next week.

00:45:48.220 The Pope today has made it very difficult to go to a Latin mass.

00:45:53.180 He's reversed the order of Pope Benedict, which reauthorized the use of the traditional Latin mass,

00:45:59.040 which brought many, many young Catholics, including myself, back into the church.

00:46:02.880 It was a very key factor in those reversions and conversions.

00:46:06.600 And I guess the Pope didn't like that very much.

00:46:08.360 So you should go attend a Latin mass while you still can.

00:46:12.040 There are lots of cute, cute young women there, and you'll find a good gal. 1.00

00:46:15.320 So hurry up.

00:46:16.640 I'd go while you can.

00:46:17.860 Hurry up, everybody.

00:46:18.620 Time's running out.
