Time Magazine has just announced its athlete of the year for 2021, Simone Biles, the gymnast who
00:00:07.380
took a spot on the U.S. Olympic team and then infamously refused to compete in a bunch of
00:00:14.180
events. Biles eventually blamed her pulling out on having the twisties, but initially she chalked
00:00:20.860
pulling out up to, quote, not having as much fun. She said, I feel like I'm also not having as much
00:00:27.180
fun. And this Olympic Games, I wanted it to be for myself, and it felt like I was still doing for
00:00:33.220
other people. And that hurts my heart, that doing what I love has been taken away from me.
00:00:39.860
Because that's what the Olympics are about. It's just you and not your country and not the sport.
00:00:43.600
It's all about you. So the woman who refused to perform an athletic event won Athlete of the Year,
00:00:49.660
specifically for refusing to compete. Six years after a man named Bruce Jenner won Woman of the
00:00:55.040
Year from Glamour Magazine. And rather than criticize these two people and our culture of
00:01:01.500
lies, I would like to look at this as an opportunity, which is why today I, Michael Knowles, am officially
00:01:08.180
throwing my hat in the ring for 2022 Pakistani Belly Dancer of the Year. I am brave. I am beautiful.
00:01:16.080
And if you don't give me the award, you are a bigot. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:01:25.040
Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment yesterday is from Glenn
00:01:31.380
Bastine, who is paraphrasing Hillary Clinton from that video crying about how she didn't win.
00:01:37.400
Quote, I would be the first female president, but we have stood on the shoulders of great men.
00:01:42.960
Yup, like your husband. Truly a great man for putting up with you for 46 years.
00:01:47.720
Because Bill has my respect, if only for that. Harsh, very harsh, but fair, I would have to say.
00:01:55.760
This, whoever wrote that comment really knows what time it is. When I want to know what time it is,
00:01:59.880
you know one of my favorite places to look? Movement watches. You know what time it is?
00:02:04.140
It's almost Christmas time. And Movement, the original watch brand to break all the rules,
00:02:09.060
is right there for you. How did Movement start? You know, Movement started because two college
00:02:14.560
dropouts who didn't want to overpay for a nice watch. They started this great company. It became
00:02:19.680
extremely popular. They brought you really, really nice watches at a really reasonable price.
00:02:25.320
They cut out the middleman. They've got a ton of other stuff even beyond the watches.
00:02:29.140
They've got hundreds of watches, blue light glasses, sunglasses, super cool jewelry. You can stuff
00:02:35.340
your stockings with all this sort of stuff. It was the best present that I've ever gotten for my
00:02:40.100
father and my stepmother. I got them Movement watches one year, and they loved it much more
00:02:45.420
than any watch I've gotten them. I have had a lot of watches. I have a lot of watches. Some are very,
00:02:50.420
very expensive. Some are not very expensive. And I love my Movement watches, especially the Revolver.
00:02:55.480
Check out the Revolver. That's a top one. And they've got a great automatic watch too. So go check
00:02:59.440
that out. Be the winner this Christmas season with a gift from Movement, mvmt.com slash Knowles. That is
00:03:04.420
mvmt.com slash Knowles and join the movement. The Time Athlete of the Year is someone who chose not
00:03:11.760
to be an athlete. Now, obviously, Simone Biles, I'm not familiar with her work at all, but I'm told
00:03:16.200
that she's a very good gymnast. But she's not being given the award because she's a good gymnast.
00:03:21.500
She's not being given the award in the years where she did gymnastics. She is being given the award
00:03:27.020
specifically, explicitly, for refusing to be an athlete. Much as Bruce Jenner was given the award
00:03:34.480
Woman of the Year, specifically because he's a man. He's not a woman. Norm Macdonald, the late,
00:03:41.940
great Norm Macdonald, had a bid on this where he said, you know, now we're told that Bruce Jenner
00:03:46.780
is stunning and brave. And, you know, he might be brave, but I don't think he's stunning.
00:03:50.680
I don't think he's beautiful. Not very many women, you know, even women, women in their 60s are like
00:03:58.040
supermodels, right? So it's just, it's a lie. It's a lie that we're being forced to believe in. These
00:04:04.660
people are being given awards to make the award a lie. Where does this come from? I think this comes
00:04:13.380
from a natural inclination in the Christian West, which is to take the side of the victim. In pagan
00:04:20.520
cultures, in non-Christian or before that, non-Jewish cultures, you don't really see a lot
00:04:26.420
of concern for the victim. You see a lot of, this is what the philosopher and sociologist Rene Girard
00:04:32.160
pointed out, that you see a lot of scapegoating. You see a lot of attacking a victim, unanimous
00:04:38.460
violence against a victim, and then you scapegoat and then the civilization can move on. You see
00:04:42.740
cultures beginning with founding murders, taking the side of the murderer, not the side of the
00:04:46.620
murdered. And then in the Jewish scriptures and then in its fulfillment in Christianity,
00:04:49.360
you see God taking the side of the victim. And we do that. And that is expressed in leftism. That's
00:04:54.680
expressed in wokeism. You always want to take the side of the person who seems weaker, the person
00:05:00.740
who seems to be the underdog. And this can be taken to a point of absurdity. Now, where because
00:05:06.720
Bruce Jenner, for instance, suffers from confusion about his sex, because he is in that way
00:05:11.520
marginalized, we need to take it to the complete other extreme and say he's the most beautiful,
00:05:17.200
stunning woman in the world. Because Simone Biles claims to have had some mental problems before
00:05:23.480
the event. And really, she just said, yeah, I don't feel like it. I'm not having fun because
00:05:27.600
she's not having a good time. We need to say she's the greatest athlete in the whole wide,
00:05:31.300
the best athlete of the year, even though she didn't really do athletics this year.
00:05:36.200
That takes things to a point of absurdity, but it does seem to be in our DNA. It reminds me of a line
00:05:41.720
from Chesterton who points out that the modern world isn't terrible because it's so bad. It's
00:05:49.360
terrible in some ways because it's too good. It's not the vices that are getting us. It's the
00:05:53.480
virtues. When you take one virtue out of context and you blow it up out of proportion and you disregard
00:05:59.140
all the other virtues, then you can end up in a bad place. And that's where we are right now.
00:06:05.260
You're seeing this, especially in the transgender issue. Look at what's going on
00:06:08.360
at UPenn. There is a transgender, quote unquote, swimmer there is a man named Will Thomas. And he
00:06:16.420
swam on the men's team and he did fine on the men's team. He was there for three seasons.
00:06:20.820
But now he is saying that he's a woman and he's competing on the women's team.
00:06:25.580
And surprise, surprise, he's breaking all the records. Wow. Amazing. Oh my gosh.
00:06:31.380
He's brand new to the team and he's breaking like all the records. Wow. He must be the greatest woman
00:06:39.340
ever. Gosh, he is the most impressive woman ever. At the Akron Zippy Invitational over the weekend,
00:06:47.420
kind of a funny name, Thomas won one race by a whopping 38 seconds over his teammate.
00:06:55.640
teammate. He's setting records for Penn. He's setting records for the meet. He's setting all
00:07:01.700
sorts of records according to OutKick. Now, what do the teammates say? This is according to a teammate
00:07:08.360
who wants to remain anonymous, obviously, for fear of blowback. She says, pretty much everyone
00:07:13.960
individually has spoken to our coaches about not liking this. Our coach just really likes winning.
00:07:18.200
He's like most coaches. I think secretly everyone knows it's the wrong thing to do.
00:07:21.940
So, this person went on and said, when the whole team is together, we have to be like,
00:07:26.980
oh my gosh, go Leah. Leah is what this guy now goes by. Leah. Oh my gosh, go Leah. That's great.
00:07:31.940
You're amazing. It's very fake, added the student. And of course, it's fake. That's the worst part of
00:07:37.780
this. I don't care about women's swimming or tennis or whatever. I don't care. Not the biggest sports
00:07:48.920
guy in the world generally. And I, you know, like, I guess I'm like sort of interested in the NBA,
00:07:54.840
but I'm really not interested in the WNBA. You know, I'm not. And I know that a lot of this argument
00:08:00.980
from the right pushing back on transgenderism is we've got to save women's sports. I don't care
00:08:06.100
about women's sports. It'd be nice. Let the women have their sports. Let them win their awards and
00:08:09.840
their scholarships. It's fine. I have no problem. I'm not against women's sports, but that's not what's so
00:08:14.600
wrong about this. Okay. The thing that's really wrong is what that teammate is saying, which is
00:08:20.400
that everyone has to lie. We're all being made to lie all the time. And we, we're not even allowed
00:08:27.040
to lie in a quiet way. We have to lie in a really enthusiastic way. We have to say, oh yes. Wow. You,
00:08:34.220
yes, Bruce Jenner, you are a beautiful woman, right? We're all, and we're all celebrating it,
00:08:38.720
right? It's all, and no, I'm more enthusiastic than anybody. Yes. And you, Will Thomas, you're
00:08:45.580
an amazing female swimmer. Wow. Great. Good, good job. You know, but no one, no one believes it.
00:08:54.440
No one believes it. The swimmer doesn't believe it. Bruce Jenner, I don't think believes it and has
00:08:59.120
said it various times. I'm not really a woman. So it's just not, it's that culture of lies. That's
00:09:04.620
really the problem. And we're seeing it and we're, we're all trying to dance around that. So even the
00:09:10.220
conservatives will say, well, he's biologically a man. He's a biological male. He's a biological,
00:09:15.440
she's a biological female. No. As if there's some, some kind of other male or female. Like you can be
00:09:22.320
a biological male, but a spiritual female, a biological female, but a, but a psychological male.
00:09:27.080
No, it's just, just boys and girls, boys and girls. And we're all, well, it's just not fair to the
00:09:33.560
female runners and swimmers. I don't, who cares? It's, it's just not right is the problem. It's
00:09:37.340
just not, it's just not true. That's the real problem. The runners and the swimmers and the
00:09:42.900
models, and that's all secondary to the, to the, it's just not true. And the truth ought to be
00:09:49.400
pursued because the truth will set you free. Now, speaking of opportunistic men, there is a story
00:09:54.900
right now of one of the worst serial killers I've ever heard about in American history.
00:10:03.560
The, that, the trial just was going on just within the last couple of weeks and you probably
00:10:08.540
haven't heard about it. This, this is Billy Chemermere. Billy Chemermere is, uh, he looks
00:10:17.140
like kind of like a middle-aged guy, middle-aged, a little bit younger. He's an immigrant from
00:10:22.640
Kenya. He became a permanent U.S. resident in 2007. Uh, Billy Chemermere was arrested in March
00:10:31.940
of 2018. Uh, after a 91 year old woman, Mary Annis Bartell said that a man forced his way into her
00:10:39.200
apartment at an independent living community for older people in, in the Dallas suburb of Plano
00:10:44.700
and tried to, and attacked her and, and tried to steal her stuff. And then the authorities looked
00:10:51.080
into this guy and he had a ton of jewelry and cash and they linked him to the murders of 18 old women,
00:11:01.520
18 women in their eighties and their nineties. He would break into their homes, murder them and
00:11:09.540
steal their jewelry and their money. We've got at least 18 here. The evidence is overwhelming
00:11:17.280
that this guy did it. There is, there is no way to look at the evidence at, at even a tenth of the
00:11:24.080
evidence and say, this guy didn't do it. But there's a mistrial because 11 jurors said it's
00:11:28.780
obviously the case. And then there's one juror who said, no, one intransigent juror, whether this was
00:11:32.240
jury nullification or this was a political activist or something, but they wouldn't do it.
00:11:36.200
So it's a mistrial. This guy, it looks like he's just going to get off the hook for murdering 18 old
00:11:40.500
women in cold blood and stealing their jewels. And probably the even greater scandal than that
00:11:47.860
is that you're not going to hear about it because this doesn't go along with the media
00:11:51.360
narrative. When you want to protect yourself, specifically your identity, you got to check

off. Potentially one of the worst serial killers in American history
00:13:04.800
may well get off the hook because of a mistrial, because of a hung jury, because one juror
00:13:10.640
seems to be holding out. Again, we don't know. We don't have totally solid reports on obviously
00:13:16.620
exactly what's going on in the jury room, but overwhelming evidence that this guy murdered
00:13:20.860
18 old women and stole their stuff, but one juror for whatever reason doesn't want to convict.
00:13:27.020
And you haven't heard about it. Whatever the jury is dealing with, whatever was going on in the
00:13:32.600
trial, you haven't heard about it. Why? Because it contradicts the media narrative. The guy who did
00:13:37.420
it was black, not white. But according to the media narrative, all black people good, all white
00:13:43.380
people bad. Black Lives Matter is the greatest, most wonderful, peaceful organization in the world,
00:13:50.440
even though they burned the country down for eight months and killed dozens of people.
00:13:53.440
But if white people do anything, anything that is in any way questionable, it's really bad.
00:13:59.920
You know, the law, it wasn't just white people, but it was, there were a lot of white people at the
00:14:03.760
Capitol Hill incident on January 6th, and that's being called the worst terrorist attack in history.
00:14:08.940
So the black and white thing, that doesn't work. He's an immigrant, but immigrants good,
00:14:13.840
native born Americans bad. So that, that doesn't work out very well at all. And so they're not going to
00:14:22.220
talk about it. They're not going to talk about this sort of thing. That is a scandal. And we need
00:14:28.300
to see, and what, what's going on with this jury? We have no idea. 18 older women, your grandmother,
00:14:34.900
think of your grandmother, murdered in cold blood for some jewels. A dozen and a half times. How would I
00:14:44.140
say that? One and a half dozen times? I don't know. 18 times we're talking about. Not a peep.
00:14:51.380
Not a peep because of the racial narratives of the left, largely, I think. And the immigrant
00:14:56.880
narratives and the broader political narratives. There's a U.S. attorney from Massachusetts,
00:15:00.220
new U.S. attorney. Her name is Rachel Rollins. A news crew just met her in the parking lot of
00:15:06.520
either her apartment complex or somewhere near the community where she lives. And she went off on a
00:15:12.760
vile racial rant. I'm going to please make sure that you're in front of my house with my children
00:15:19.540
inside. And you're going to put this on here. Yeah. So as a black woman in this moment, in this country,
00:15:26.640
you're going to put my house on the screen. No, no, no, ma'am. We're just here approaching you to ask
00:15:31.560
you a question. Get away from my family. Speak to me at my job. If I get hurt or harmed because of
00:15:38.260
this, you are on the record for that. Or my kids are killed. Who do you think you are? Get, this is
00:15:46.500
private property. Get out of here. And you know what I'll do? I'll call the police on you and make
00:15:51.060
an allegation. And we'll see how that works with you. So the rantings of a white woman get you here
00:15:56.580
and scare my children. No, no, no. Get off of our private property. And I swear to God, I'm dead
00:16:01.460
serious. I will find your name. You can ask me somewhere else. Do not have a camera in front of
00:16:06.780
my house. I can give you my name. Get her, get them out of here. This is the Boston police. I will
00:16:10.540
have you arrested. I swear to God. My children are going to be hurt. I like the Al Pacino impression
00:16:18.140
at the end. In my house where my children sleep. How dare you? And so this woman, not, not the most
00:16:25.480
eloquent of public service, our public servants, they're not sending their best anymore. U.S.
00:16:30.440
attorney. She is very angry because the media are interviewing her and they're going to her
00:16:37.660
community. And you know, this is unpleasant. It happens to all public figures. Happens to all,
00:16:42.220
she's a politician. She's a public figure. She's a U.S. attorney. But she doesn't just complain about
00:16:46.560
the media. She says, I'm black and you're white. And the person that you're referring to or who
00:16:54.420
impel these questions is white. And so that specifically is wrong. You can't, you can't ask
00:16:59.940
black people questions. How dare you? White people are bad. When white women speak, that's bad because
00:17:06.200
white women are evil and they rant and I hate white women. That's what she's implying. And I'm a black
00:17:11.000
woman and I get special privileges because I'm a black woman and I get to, I get to complain and
00:17:16.500
criticize white women on the basis of their race. This wouldn't, as a black woman, this would, how dare
00:17:22.680
you at this moment. It's so dangerous for white women. And I thought, what are, who are the public
00:17:27.000
figures who have been accosted by mobs of people and threatened with violence? You know, a lot of
00:17:31.620
public figures, but I'm talking about the real incidents that we've seen in public or even at
00:17:35.560
their homes. Who are the public figures? Tucker Carlson, a gang of leftists tried to bust down his
00:17:42.660
door at his private home where his wife and children sleep. Tucker Carlson, not a, he's not a black woman,
00:17:47.780
right? No. Uh, there's, uh, Ted Cruz, my old pal, Ted Cruz. He's been accosted in, in restaurants.
00:17:57.380
He's been accosted in public with, with his wife. He's not a black woman. He's an Hispanic man.
00:18:03.780
Uh, Elaine Chao, she's not a black woman. She's an Asian woman married to Mitch McConnell. Oh,
00:18:10.600
Mitch McConnell to Mitch McConnell. He's also not. So why is it that the narrative seems a little bit
00:18:17.320
different here is there's this special, well, it's, I think it's because Democrat politicians
00:18:23.460
have been calling for that violence to specifically, to go find conservatives, regardless of their race,
00:18:31.760
to find conservatives in public and to accost them and even to go to their homes. Like
00:18:40.420
Already, you have members of your cabinet that have been booed out of restaurants.
00:18:53.320
Who sang, no peace, no sleep. No peace, no sleep. Let's make sure we show up wherever we have to show up.
00:19:02.520
And if you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline
00:19:10.620
station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they're
00:19:22.040
Encouraging people to go mob on them in public and threaten them physically and to go to their
00:19:28.040
house where their children sleep. People don't do that to Maxine Waters. Maxine Waters hasn't had
00:19:34.420
any of these big incidents. It's all, all these other people. This woman, Rachel Rollins, she is
00:19:40.280
a disgrace. I mean, she, if the word racism has any meaning left at all, obviously she's a great
00:19:46.360
example of that. It's so, it's so disgusting. The woman should be fired. She should be disbarred and
00:19:52.840
she should be driven out of polite society. She should not be permitted to, to participate in public
00:19:57.680
life. She can go live her private life and work for a company or whatever, work for some law firm.
00:20:01.620
If anyone would hire her, I don't know why anyone would for her, for her intelligence or decorum or
00:20:08.540
talent or tact. They might hire her because she's clearly got political connections, but this is
00:20:13.580
disgusting stuff. She should have no place, no place in American public life. But it's not just her.
00:20:18.520
It's not just this U.S. attorney. Take this down way to the local level. The Fort Worth School District
00:20:23.320
has an equity committee. You know, the, you know, those, those very important equity committees,
00:20:29.820
you know, that's really important to your kid's education. So a woman who served as the committee
00:20:35.280
co-chair, they call it chair now, like she's a piece of furniture because you're not allowed to
00:20:38.820
say chairman because that's sexist or something. So anyway, she's not a piece of furniture. She's a
00:20:43.840
person. So the, the co-chairman of the Fort Worth Independent School District's racial equity committee
00:20:50.180
just doxed white parents, specifically white parents, who had sued the school district because
00:20:58.560
they didn't want the school district to force their kids to, to inject themselves with the Fauci
00:21:03.080
ouchie. So this, this woman, Norma Garcia Lopez, not, not only released the phone number and, and
00:21:09.500
addresses of four, four of these families, along with one of the parents' employers and work
00:21:14.180
addresses, uh, she left a really nasty voicemail focusing specifically on race.
00:21:21.060
F*** you, you stupid b***h, Carrie Reimer. F*** you with your white privilege, not caring about the
00:21:31.400
Yeah, not like me. I care about the well-being of others. F*** you, you F***ing this, you,
00:21:36.640
because I'm a good person, you F***ing disgusting awful, and you're a bad person,
00:21:41.000
not a good person like me. F*** you with all your privilege, you know. I enjoy the mobs of people
00:21:47.360
that are going to show up to your house because I doxed you. Yeah, F*** you with your privilege,
00:21:50.660
you white person. I hate white people. Hate them, those white people. They're the worst.
00:21:55.740
So the reason I bring it up is not because, not only because this is really bad and these people
00:22:00.560
should not be permitted in public life, uh, but to show you the madness of it all, because I think
00:22:08.020
these people really believe it. I think this lady, Norma Garcia Lopez, and I think Rachel Rollins,
00:22:12.700
I think they really believe that because one is Hispanic and one is black and they're both women,
00:22:18.380
that they are seriously put upon and that they are seriously disadvantaged and that white people
00:22:24.660
are really, they're so privileged. When, of course, these incidents show you quite, quite the opposite
00:22:30.900
is true. There's only one group of people, there's only one race of people that you are publicly
00:22:35.880
permitted to, to criticize and attack and insult and, and frankly, even encouraged to. That would
00:22:41.320
be white people. There's only one race of people, two races of people who can be legally discriminated
00:22:45.740
against in college admissions, for instance. That would be white people and Asian people.
00:22:49.820
What do the Asians do? I don't know, but they get thrown in with it. There, there is a, a, a prevailing
00:22:57.480
cultural norm that allows you to do this. And what's so crazy about it is you think that it's the
00:23:03.540
opposite. It tricks you. I mean, it is this issue of the scapegoating. When you are scapegoating,
00:23:10.000
as Rene Girard points out, when you are scapegoating, you never know that you're
00:23:14.300
scapegoating. You're not aware of it. It works like a madness on your brain, but these two women,
00:23:19.340
they think they're totally in the right. And if you've got any remove whatsoever from it, you can
00:23:23.880
see that you can see that they're not, but, but it, it, this, this kind of politics of scapegoating,
00:23:30.640
it works on your brain like a poison. And when you want to be healthy, when you don't want poison,
00:23:37.480
when you want to be really healthy, get that good blood flow in, you have to check out
00:23:40.400
Echelon. I freaking love my Echelon. I've got my Echelon bike. It's got this super cool screen.
00:23:48.560
You know, I hate working out. You know, I hate going to the gym. I'm just never going to do it.
00:23:53.000
I'm never going to take the time and I just hate it. So Echelon, you just throw your sneakers on. I
00:23:56.920
had to go find a pair of sneakers. I put them on. I say, all right, I'll try it out. We'll see. I'm
00:24:00.220
not a big workout guy. You, you can get these great classes. Some of them are live rides. Some of them,
00:24:05.180
you know, you can tune back in after they've already gone live. They've got really, really terrific
00:24:09.880
trainers that can inspire even me. And I'm pretty cynical on working out. It's terrific. It's the
00:24:14.820
affordable way to get the workout equipment, the workout community, and an instructor's
00:24:18.700
motivation right in the comfort of your own home. I love the bike, but they've got lots of
00:24:21.960
other gear too. The Echelon fitness app provides you with thousands of live and on-demand classes
00:24:26.680
with great music from your favorite artists. With Echelon, you can work at any time, day or
00:24:30.620
night and crush your fitness goals. I put the baby to bed, then I go work on my Echelon. It's
00:24:34.900
really, really cool stuff. For a limited time right now, podcast listeners get up to $800 off

00:25:03.280
terrible things and then they convince you that they're the good guys and, you know, the other
00:25:06.180
people are the bad guys. Speaking of bad guys, Joe Biden. Joe Biden was just speaking, paying tribute
00:25:12.160
to the late Senator Bob Dole. Good, good old Republican senator, first presidential candidate
00:25:18.300
I ever supported. He died at the age of 98, lived a good long life. Joe Biden was speaking.
00:25:22.820
Listen to these inspiring words that President Biden had for Bob Dole.
00:25:27.380
Our nation has certainly faced periods of division, but at the end of the day, we've always found ways
00:25:37.280
to come together. We can find that unity again. Then the message said, end of message.
00:25:47.640
He is so, so far gone. We can find, we can find that unity again. And the message and message send,
00:25:59.680
the message send, I end, end of message. First of all, whichever staffer is writing Joe Biden's
00:26:08.920
teleprompter, stop saying end of message. He's clearly not getting it. This is not the first time
00:26:13.860
this has happened. Yes, the president of the United States should know not to read the end
00:26:18.160
of message at the bottom of the teleprompter. But if he's going to keep flubbing it up and he's not
00:26:22.100
going to remember, and he's obviously barely conscious these days, come on, man, be a good
00:26:27.360
staffer. Don't, don't put that in there. He, he is really far gone. It's why I can't get so angry
00:26:32.440
with him. Joe Biden has always, he's always been kind of a doofus in American politics. I don't even
00:26:38.640
mean that angrily. I just, that's, that's been his rap. He's not the brightest bulb in the pack.
00:26:44.060
He's a back slapping, grinning politician. He doesn't have any real beliefs. He just kind
00:26:48.160
of goes with whichever way the wind is blowing. And he is a vessel of the establishment. So it
00:26:52.560
doesn't really matter. The fact that it's weekend at Biden's and they're basically just propping him
00:26:56.240
up at this point, doesn't matter. The, the liberal establishment is going to continue to rule as it
00:27:01.400
wants to. It doesn't, doesn't matter all that much that you don't have a, a, an energetic or even
00:27:07.200
really, uh, an awake president. But, but the same could be said of the younger, vibrant, fresh face,
00:27:15.560
leftist, radical politicians too. They too are tools of the establishment. I noticed this with AOC.
00:27:23.040
AOC, she's, we might not like her, but she's supposed to be the real true believer. She's
00:27:27.860
supposed to be the hard leftist fighter who, who's going to take the fight to the, even her own party
00:27:33.360
and her own liberal establishment. And that's not really what happened. She just gave a speech
00:27:36.840
on how now more than ever, we need to import a bunch of foreigners into the country.
00:27:42.360
We just lived through one, almost two years now of a pandemic that relied where our country relied
00:27:51.880
on undocumented people to survive. Okay. We're going to put it down really simple because who else
00:28:00.040
was sanitizing our buildings, who else was caring for our elders, who else was harvesting our food,
00:28:07.720
who else was stocking our shelves, except immigrant labor in the United States of America.
00:28:16.060
We will not be a country that says we will take that and yes, exploit that and not accept the basic
00:28:24.740
humanity, dignity, and equality of all people in this country, particularly our immigrant families
00:28:29.860
and communities. So this is not true. We don't need illegal aliens. They don't help America. They
00:28:35.660
don't make America better. They are a drain on America's resources. They lower the wages of lower
00:28:42.180
class Americans, which is the important issue we'll get to in one second. And they break our most basic
00:28:47.100
laws. Okay. We don't need them. Now, lest I sound too harsh, some illegal, I'll sound like Trump. Some of
00:28:53.820
them, I assume are good people. Some illegal aliens actually are very nice, amiable people. Some of
00:29:00.320
them can contribute and become good Americans and their kids can be good Americans. I have friends
00:29:04.380
who are illegal aliens or who were DACA. They were brought over when they were young. They didn't
00:29:08.660
really have any say about it. And some of them can become very patriotic. And sure, that's true. I'm not
00:29:13.680
discounting that. But we don't need illegal aliens. We don't need them at all. Do you know who needs
00:29:19.860
illegal aliens? Big business and big powerful interests in America who want to suppress the
00:29:28.200
wages of the working class, which is why it's so funny that AOC, the socialist class warrior,
00:29:34.420
is the one peddling this stuff. She is actually just peddling the agenda of the neoliberal establishment
00:29:41.320
and the chamber of commerce. That's what she's doing. So, yes, we need this. I've always had some
00:29:47.180
respect, a little bit of respect for Bernie Sanders, who is pretty anti-immigration because
00:29:52.240
immigrants, very simple. Immigration, especially illegal immigration, lowers wages for the working
00:29:58.420
class. AOC says, well, who is going to clean our bathrooms if we don't bring in Hondurans who cross
00:30:05.060
the border illegally? Who is going to pick the lima beans? I don't know. Who's going to pick the almonds
00:30:09.980
if we don't just bring in foreign nationals illegally and then let them stay here?
00:30:15.960
Americans will. That's who. Americans of different races will do that. And yes, the capitalist class,
00:30:24.460
the ruling class, will have to pay them more. You're right. That's true. And maybe that'll raise
00:30:28.060
prices in some places. You're right. I can't believe I have to make the socialist critique for AOC.
00:30:34.040
Yes, it's true. But there are Americans who will take those jobs. It's so offensive and
00:30:37.600
so false to pretend that Americans won't take hard jobs or low-paying jobs. They will. And the
00:30:43.040
wages will go up a little bit. And that's what has happened historically in the United States.
00:30:46.740
When immigration is reduced a little bit, the wages start to go up. This is why you saw real wage
00:30:52.300
growth for the first time in many, many years under Trump when immigration started to go down. There
00:30:58.040
were other factors as well, but that was a big one. So AOC goes out there as the pretend culture
00:31:03.160
warrior, pretending that she was born and raised in the Bronx when she wasn't. She was from a very
00:31:08.240
rich town, actually the town over from mine, the wealthier town over from my already nice town where
00:31:12.760
I grew up. And she goes and pretends to be Jenny from the block and pretends to be this real tough
00:31:16.700
class warrior. And she's carrying water for these plutocratic elites, just like she goes to the Met
00:31:22.080
Gala and wears a dress that says, tax the rich, eat the rich, or whatever it said. And then she,
00:31:27.680
you know, swills champagne with all of these other plutocrats. And it's just,
00:31:30.900
it's a show. It's pretend. It's all a lie. And she gets plaudits for it. Okay, that's fine.
00:31:40.100
The establishment's very good at ruling. They're very good at controlling people. They're very good
00:31:43.480
at exercising their power. And they're good at manipulating and exploiting others. That's fine.
00:31:47.120
But see it clearly. Do not, let's not pretend that AOC is some great class warrior. Not even close.
00:31:55.340
Speaking of young Democrats too, we've gotten a lesson from, we're learning a lot from young
00:31:59.660
Democrats. One of which is how to fight back the culture. There is a new poll out that shows
00:32:07.240
something that's a little sad for those of you out there who have your eye on some cute Democrat
00:32:13.240
chicky, which is that younger Democrats are much less likely to go on a date with a Republican than
00:32:23.180
vice versa. Much less likely to shop at a business or support a business that is owned by a Republican
00:32:28.880
than vice versa. Much less likely to be friends with a Republican than vice versa. And much less
00:32:34.620
likely to work for a Republican than vice versa. They don't, they don't like us. They don't want to
00:32:41.740
have a lot to do with us. And we do like them and we do want to have something to do with them.
00:32:47.980
We've got to figure out how to fix this asymmetry because the libs are using this to their
00:32:52.780
advantage. Now, if you have not signed onto our petition against Joe Biden's vaccine mandate,
00:33:00.960
you need to head on over to dailywire.com slash do not comply to add your name. We have a goal of
00:33:06.020
reaching 1 million signatures, which would provide a major boost to our legal challenge. We have nearly
00:33:12.780
800,000 signatures so far. We need your help to cross the finish line. Please head on over to
00:33:17.680
dailywire.com slash do not comply and then share our petition with all of your friends and family.
00:33:22.440
Also go buy Matt's book. He's the number one bestselling children's author and the number one
00:33:26.320
bestselling LGBTQ author in the United States. So be sure to go support him today. We will be right
00:33:33.860
Quickly, before we get to the mailbag, the main takeaway from this new Axios poll is that young
00:33:49.860
Democrat voters are much more likely to despise the other party than young Republican voters.
00:33:56.920
And this is why we lose. Part of the reason I think Republicans are willing to date and shop at
00:34:02.920
work for and be friends with Democrats is just because we have to. If you want to have friends,
00:34:07.600
if you want to work, if you want to shop, then you're going to have to because that's the Democrats
00:34:11.760
rule these things. But what's important here, I think the lesson to take away is we need to do a
00:34:18.400
much better job of stigmatizing left-wing views. The libs have done a good job at stigmatizing
00:34:24.000
perfectly ordinary common sense views. We need to do that as well. We need to be able to shift
00:34:31.420
the realm of acceptable discourse. We need to cancel. We need to learn how to cancel.
00:34:37.300
The libs do a great job at it, but we need to do that as well. And then maybe they'll like us.
00:34:42.800
Peace through strength. First question in the mailbag from John. Hey, Michael, long-time fan. I need
00:34:47.300
some of your expert relationship advice. My girlfriend of two and a half years and I are deciding whether
00:34:52.420
or not to continue our relationship because of political views. She believes my conservative values
00:34:56.940
and supportive outlets such as the Daily Wire, thank you, is giving a platform to harmful rhetoric
00:35:01.600
and spreading hatred. She strongly believes America is systematically racist, supports abortion, BLM,
00:35:10.320
transgender ideology, and hates Trump. She also wants to go into public policy to, quote, advocate for
00:35:16.360
the rights and representation of people of color, women, and the LGBTQ community. Our concern is that
00:35:23.480
since we are both so passionate in our views that our relationship won't last in the long run. As of
00:35:28.720
now, it is looking like we will have to go our separate ways. Do you think this is the right decision
00:35:32.740
or is it worth it to try to get her to at least entertain more conservative views in the future?
00:35:36.920
Thanks for your time. Keep up the great work. John, I'm going to give you some advice that might
00:35:41.880
sound a little out of character for me. Run! Run for your life! Run and don't look back, John! Whatever room
00:35:49.300
you're in right now, there should be a John-shaped hole in the wall. You should be running that fast
00:35:53.540
to get away from her. I'm not saying that you can't grow together. I'm not saying that you can't
00:36:00.500
date or even marry a woman where you have some differences. Of course, you're going to have some
00:36:05.640
differences. You're different people. But it sounds like you disagree, not just on these little
00:36:13.720
political issues or candidates, but at a really deep philosophical level. And it seems like you
00:36:20.380
both disagree intensely. It's not as though you hold your views in this very shallow way. And it
00:36:27.380
sounds like it's getting worse over time. It doesn't sound like you're growing together. It sounds like
00:36:33.040
you're growing apart. And so it's better to know that now than it would be to find that out later.
00:36:37.700
I don't, I'm kind of wondering what, like, what do you guys talk about? What do you, what do you
00:36:44.660
have? Is she just hotter than a $2 pistol? Is it, what is keeping you together now? I don't know. If
00:36:51.540
it's the sort of thing where she's just fallen under the sway of a bunch of lib dummies in college or
00:36:57.000
something, that's one thing, you know, especially if she's younger, maybe people go, but it, this
00:37:01.380
changes. If you, if you guys are a little bit older, if you're a little more set in your ways,
00:37:04.320
if you, it's, if you're kind of going in those opposite directions, then I wouldn't try to put
00:37:09.240
a bandaid on it. If you think it's a phase and you're actually coming together and getting closer,
00:37:14.700
then that's one thing, but it doesn't sound like it. And so my friend, there are other fish in the
00:37:20.300
sea from Jacob. Hey, Michael, I've been dating, there are more relationship questions. All right.
00:37:24.920
I've been dating this girl since my senior year of high school, which makes it about three years now.
00:37:28.600
And I have been ready to get married in order to live the marriage lifestyle with a girl I love for
00:37:33.400
about a year and a half now. I assume you're using that as a euphemism, which fair enough.
00:37:39.160
But you know, there's, there's, there are a lot of things to the marriage lifestyle. So I'll take
00:37:42.520
it in the broad sense. But she insists on waiting until she gets her bachelor's degree, which would
00:37:48.080
be in another year and a half. So my question is, what do I do in this situation? Keep in mind,
00:37:53.120
I'm Mormon. So if things ended between us, I could find about a hundred girls that would be ready to get
00:37:58.420
married in like four months. Sincerely, the world is ending and I don't want to spend eternity alone.
00:38:03.500
Jacob, you know, on this show, I will often say, get married and have babies and just go do it and
00:38:08.160
hurry up. Come on, you stupid millennials who just want to put off doing anything in your lives.
00:38:13.320
But in this case, I will subvert your expectations. I think, I think it's okay to let her graduate from
00:38:18.160
college first. Even if you've been dating for a long time, I think that's fine. That is a kind of
00:38:23.520
milestone in life. It is difficult to be married and in college. It's not impossible. I know people
00:38:29.900
who do it. But still, I think one more year, maybe you get engaged or something, but then
00:38:36.000
plan to get married after she graduates. I think that's reasonable. And then, you know, have a good
00:38:40.720
life and you don't have to spend eternity alone. You are right that I'm sure, especially in your
00:38:46.440
religious community, you could find a billion women who are ready to take the plunge now.
00:38:53.060
So if you want to, I mean, if you're thinking that your current girlfriend is just interchangeable
00:38:58.600
and she's just one of any number of women, then yeah, maybe you should do that. But if you value
00:39:03.680
this woman in particular, then what's a year? What's a year by the scale of eternity?
00:39:09.240
From Anonymous, howdy, Michael. I'm a huge fan of your show. I deeply admire your unique love for
00:39:14.700
the conservative tradition, especially in literature. Thank you. I'm also a Protestant,
00:39:18.280
Reformed Baptist, and I've noticed over the past couple of years that deep conviction on issues
00:39:22.520
of political nature seems to be relatively shallow in many of my Protestant circles.
00:39:27.860
While I believe it is our duty as Christians to reorder our government around an objective moral
00:39:31.980
standard when we hopefully regain political power, many of the people I've spoken to in my circles
00:39:36.480
seem to believe it's either impossible or government overreach. And I've come to realize that a lot of
00:39:42.040
strong political conviction is unique to the Catholic Church. Yeah. My question for you is simply,
00:39:46.560
why do you believe this is the case? Sincerely, the one A&M student who keeps tagging you on
00:39:50.760
Instagram. Do you? I'm sorry. You know, I'm such a boomer that I don't even know how to really use that
00:39:53.760
stuff. But I will, I'll try to look for your tags. There is a reason for this. It's not just
00:40:00.880
cultural. It's not just the Italians are more fiery or something and they tend to be Catholic.
00:40:04.520
There is, there is a deep reason why the Protestant denominations are not as inclined
00:40:12.080
to engage in politics and not always as effective politically as Catholics have been. The reason
00:40:17.580
for this is that Protestantism itself is the cause of, and in a sense a product of, the crack up of
00:40:24.900
Western Christendom. So you had something called Christendom, the West, and then it cracked up in the,
00:40:31.200
in the early 16th century. In the West, you had obviously different principalities and states and
00:40:37.520
things like that, but one church that had, that had, I think, and certainly that claimed a monopoly
00:40:45.020
on the truth and that maintained European unity, even between different ruling families and different
00:40:49.820
principalities and different, different states. And the Protestant revolution ended that. This is what
00:40:55.260
Hamlet is about. Hamlet is about, it's, well, it's why Hamlet, the character is at the University of
00:40:59.880
Wittenberg, right? This, where Protestantism really begins to take shape and take hold. This is why
00:41:05.640
he, Hamlet has all these questions about what is truth because the monopoly on truth has been cracked
00:41:11.040
by the Protestant revolution. He doesn't know what to believe. He doesn't know where the authority is.
00:41:16.460
The authority of Christendom was shattered by, by Protestantism. And so what Protestant political
00:41:25.800
activists have that's tricky for them is a numbers problem and a credibility problem. There were just
00:41:31.800
so many Protestant denominations. There were like 30,000 of them and counting. And so this leads to
00:41:37.400
a credibility problem because none of them can really credibly claim to be the one true church.
00:41:43.000
And some do, I guess, but it's because there was no apostolic line of succession like you would have in,
00:41:49.380
say, at the Catholic church. You can't, it's hard to make the argument that, you know,
00:41:53.040
the true Christianity existed from year 33 AD to, I don't know, 300 AD. And then it just disappeared
00:42:01.000
and then it popped up again in Missouri in 1852. It's just, it doesn't, it's not very credible.
00:42:05.940
And so this leads naturally to an embrace of pluralism and skepticism because all of the
00:42:11.420
Protestant denominations intrinsically need to play nice with one another. And so you have to have a much
00:42:17.540
greater tolerance of religious disagreement and a less of a confidence that you can know the truth and
00:42:22.400
that you can claim authority, which the Catholic, whatever you think of the Catholic church,
00:42:26.320
they have no problem making truth claims and they have no problem making claims from authority.
00:42:30.720
And so what this leads to is a kind of political quietism where you back away and you say, look,
00:42:35.260
let's, we just need to work on ourselves and we just need to change the culture. You know,
00:42:40.280
we just need to make better movies or something. You know, we just, but we shouldn't,
00:42:44.040
we shouldn't impose our views on anyone because our views, we are not able to make a credible claim
00:42:50.220
for the universality of those views. So that, that is going to be a problem that you're going
00:42:55.280
to have with Protestantism. And it's no, it's no coincidence that liberalism comes shortly on the
00:43:01.200
heels of Protestantism. The two, the two projects are, are intrinsically linked. And so you might
00:43:07.520
like liberalism, you might like Protestantism, you might think that those movements were good for the
00:43:12.200
West and for the world, but it is going to lead you to a position where you are politically at a,
00:43:18.140
a great disadvantage. If you want to recover something more traditional, something more
00:43:22.500
unified from John. Hey, Michael, I love the show and I find it extremely easy to agree with your
00:43:27.260
positions, but your take on suicide pods has me wondering what your idea of death with dignity
00:43:31.800
should look like for an elderly person. I work as a nurse in the ICU and see there are just so
00:43:36.280
many obstacles to maintaining your dignity in old age, dementia, fall injuries, incontinence,
00:43:40.400
to name a few. Yeah, it's ugly. It's not pleasant. Although I'm in my thirties,
00:43:44.440
I find myself thinking about what I would do if I become elderly and I see something like
00:43:48.380
dementia taking hold. Of course, my priorities are to not become a burden to my loved ones,
00:43:52.060
not to allow my memory to become tarnished and to be right with God as right as I can be.
00:43:57.460
We sometimes muse about the one last walk into the woods, which actually seems instinctive since
00:44:01.740
many mammals do this when they feel their time is nearing its end, but that could also be considered
00:44:05.780
suicide if done to hasten death in the setting of early dementia. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
00:44:10.180
Yeah. Death is not dignified. Death is not dignified. What is the first thing that happens
00:44:18.060
when you die? You soil yourself. It's like the first thing that happens, which is a good
00:44:26.700
representation and symbol of how undignified death is. Death is a punishment. Death is a punishment for
00:44:31.880
original sin. And you might not believe in original sin. You might not believe in Christianity or the Bible,
00:44:36.640
but it's just a fact. Original sin is just a description of imperfection and the fallen nature
00:44:45.300
of this world and the fact that things do go wrong and it's just not perfect. And it can be,
00:44:50.160
and death is bad. And we just know death is bad. It's just a bad thing. And so it is a punishment.
00:44:57.660
And it is a punishment that you must bear. You're not getting out of it. Not in this world.
00:45:03.540
There is the opportunity for salvation. This is what Christianity is about.
00:45:08.720
But that's in the life of the world to come. And so people want to deny death and they want to deny
00:45:15.680
sin and they want to deny suffering and pain. And so they'll say, all right, the minute my memory
00:45:20.420
starts to go, I'm out. You know, I'm going to take a long walk off a short cliff or something like that.
00:45:25.560
The minute that I start to suffer, I'm going to end things. I'm going to have a living will and I'm going to,
00:45:31.880
you know, tell you to kill me when I stop feeling great. But there's no end to that. You want to talk
00:45:37.220
about a slippery slope. That's the real slippery slope. And wherever these euthanasia, quote unquote,
00:45:40.760
where the assisted suicide laws are in place, they have expanded rapidly. And you see, especially in the
00:45:47.100
Netherlands, which is one of the leaders in this, you're seeing children being killed, assisted suicide.
00:45:52.340
Because, well, they're going to have some chronic pain. Well, they're going to be depressed. Well,
00:45:56.480
there's no end to that. You have to stop looking at suffering as the worst possible thing in the
00:46:01.480
world. It's not. There are worse things. There are many worse things in this world and the world to
00:46:05.980
come. I think you need to be as dignified as you possibly can and bear your cross and bear your
00:46:10.960
suffering with dignity and kiss it up to God, honey. That's what you got to do. From Camille, Mr. Knowles,
00:46:15.640
I heard you answer a question last week about how a young woman couldn't figure out what she would be,
00:46:20.940
what she should be doing with her life at the moment. You responded that she should just get
00:46:24.680
married and have babies. Well, because she said, she asked me not to tell her that. And
00:46:29.020
she knew that I was going to have to tell her that. Now, as someone in a similar stage of my life,
00:46:35.480
I didn't love the answer. I can't speak to her. But it's not that I'm opposed to getting married
00:46:40.280
right now. And if the right guy came along, I would be happy to spend my life with him. But that's
00:46:43.980
the problem. I haven't met anyone who seems worth it yet. So what am I supposed to do? Just settle for
00:46:48.760
someone good enough. That is extremely depressing. And I can't see myself doing that. I'm not a
00:46:52.520
feminist and I don't have some insane list of things I'm looking for. So spare me that you're
00:46:56.540
too picky lines that everyone resorts to. Sore subject, my dear, because I really don't think
00:47:01.360
that that's the case and I can't help who I'm attracted to. Okay. All right. We'll get it.
00:47:05.380
That's like a whole other discussion. Would you love to hear, I would love to hear your thoughts.
00:47:09.460
And as always, love your show and the insight. Sincerely, helping soulmates,
00:47:12.520
hoping soulmates are real and that mine is tall and wealthy. Okay. Don't we all?
00:47:15.660
So your friends might be telling you you're too picky because you are, but I'm not. I'm really not.
00:47:22.640
Well, but maybe you are though. Now, I don't mean to make light of your problem. It is a real problem
00:47:30.080
and it's a problem that we're all kind of led into and duped into because one thing I've noticed is
00:47:34.880
that many of the most successful marriages I've ever seen were from people who met when they were
00:47:38.880
younger. The high school sweethearts. And I think part of this is, and today people think that's insane
00:47:44.360
to marry your high school sweetheart. No, you've got to grow and you've got to go bang like a thousand
00:47:48.140
people and you've got to become the middle manager at your company. And then and only then can you get
00:47:53.180
into a formal partnership with someone and then have an equal, very rationalist, clinical kind of
00:47:58.340
marriage. Okay. It doesn't sound very romantic to me. Part of the reason why I think the high school
00:48:04.280
sweetheart thing works is because you have shared experience. And as we said earlier, you grow with
00:48:09.680
someone. You grow, you really feel like one flesh and this, you can have, this can happen at any
00:48:14.420
point that you get married, but you've got to work on that and you've got to sacrifice something of
00:48:19.000
yourself and your own desires. And there, I don't mean to discount being physically attracted to
00:48:25.620
someone. I mean, I think sweet little Elise is the hottest chickie in the world and I'm not,
00:48:28.560
I'm not being dishonest or flattering or anything. She really, I really think that and I have always
00:48:32.980
thought that, um, that might not be your experience. You might find someone hotter over
00:48:39.780
time. Like I'm sure Elise has found me much hotter over time. She might not have thought I was all
00:48:42.880
that good looking to begin with, you know, but over time you just fall in love with these other
00:48:47.680
aspects of people. Okay. And so my answer to you, I'm sorry to tell you, be less picky. I'm Michael
