Summary
Joe Biden has a plan that could save you $80 a month at the pump, if you don t have to buy a new car. It involves buying an electric car, and you don't even have to go out to buy it.

I know you're hurting at the pump. Gas prices have hit all-time highs, and Joe Biden is refusing to
00:00:07.080
allow the oil companies to produce more to ease those prices. I know, but have no fear.
00:00:14.180
Joe has a solution. This solution will allow you to save up to $80 per month at the pump,
00:00:22.000
and all you've got to do is buy a new electric car.
00:00:25.400
Under my plan, which is before the Congress now, we can take advantage of the next generation of
00:00:31.140
electric vehicles that a typical driver will save about $80 a month from not having to pay
00:00:38.000
gas at the pump. Now, $80 a month is pretty good. You have to buy a new car. Sure, that's expensive,
00:00:44.860
but $80 a month, that's pretty good. So if you bought, say, a Tesla Model X, it's a pretty prominent
00:00:52.100
new electric car, that costs $106,190 to buy, which is expensive. But when you factor in the
00:01:01.980
savings of $80 per month, then that car will actually pay for itself in 1,328 months or roughly
00:01:09.540
111 years. So you drive the car for 111 years, and then you're fine. Then you're good. Thank you,
00:01:15.340
Joe Biden. You could get a less expensive model if you would prefer. You don't want to go all the way
00:01:20.520
for the Model X. Okay, you could get a Tesla Model 3. That costs $45,190. That means that as long as
00:01:29.140
you drive that car for 47 years, you will really see some real savings at the pump. And let's say,
00:01:36.620
forget about Tesla. Look, Michael, Tesla, that's a high-end company. There's got to be a cheaper
00:01:41.060
electric car. There is. There's the absolute cheapest electric car that you could go out and
00:01:45.540
buy. That's the Nissan Leaf. That costs $28,425, which means you can start saving money after just
00:01:53.900
30 short years. This is great. You're fine. Stop blaming Joe Biden. Unless you want to keep your car,
00:02:00.840
unless you want to keep driving your car and not go out and buy a new car, in which case,
00:02:06.160
tough luck. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:02:15.540
Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment yesterday is from OceanRider68,
00:02:21.260
who says, this is apropos of my speech last night, all Justice Clarence Thomas has to do
00:02:26.800
is declare himself a woman, and he would be the first black female Supreme Court justice.
00:02:32.700
This would effectively negate the qualifications for the Supreme Court of the current nominee. That is
00:02:38.120
true. Joe Biden nominated Ketanji Jackson because she's a black woman to be the first female
00:02:45.300
justice. Clarence is frankly a sort of ambiguous name anyway. That would be really delightful. I
00:02:52.740
hope that he does that. That would get my blood flowing. That would make me feel happy and
00:02:59.680
satisfied. You know what else makes me feel happy and satisfied? Good Ranchers. Right now,
00:03:03.700
go to goodranchers.com slash Knowles. Do you know what I had for dinner? Unfortunately,
00:03:09.060
I've been on the road this week. Do you know what I had for dinner last week? I had delicious
00:03:12.340
burgers from Good Ranchers. I love all their stuff from Good Ranchers, but the burgers are my absolute
00:03:17.420
favorite. Do you know what kind of burgers I had? Wagyu burgers. That's right. High and juicy,
00:03:23.300
delicious. Sometimes I grill it. This was made in the pan even more. I just love these guys. And then
00:03:28.800
I did actually, right before I flew out here, we had Good Ranchers New York strip steaks, which were
00:03:33.440
marvelous. They were absolutely marvelous. The quality of this meat is through the roof. And then the
00:03:39.880
prices are shocking. The prices are so inexpensive, especially with inflation now driving our food
00:03:45.120
costs up through the roof. And then all of their meat comes from America. Unlike the stuff you're
00:03:50.420
getting in the grocery store, sometimes 85% of that meat is not actually made in America, even if it
00:03:55.120
says it is. On every single aspect of your meat consumption, Good Ranchers is giving you exactly what
00:04:03.480
you want. They're just phenomenal. You can get a $30 discount right now on prime steaks and better than
00:04:08.480
organic chicken. The chicken's delicious. Go to goodranchers.com slash Knowles. Save on the

00:04:35.300
delivered. We've got a schizophrenic energy policy right now coming out of the White House.
00:04:42.400
We've got always a glib and ridiculous energy policy. Go buy a Tesla. That's what you're hearing
00:04:48.360
from Biden. That's what you're hearing from Pete Buttigieg. But we're also getting an incoherent
00:04:53.260
energy policy beyond the sort of flippant remarks about going out and getting a Model X.
00:04:59.460
Joe Biden has decided on a policy that actually could temporarily reduce prices at the pump.
00:05:07.000
That policy will be to release 1 million barrels of oil per day from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum
00:05:13.500
Reserve. We've had the Strategic Petroleum Reserve since the 1970s. After there were gas shortages,
00:05:18.840
we decided to stock up on gas. So we could release that gas. That would reduce the price at the pump.
00:05:26.060
American consumption of oil is 20 million barrels of oil per day. So if you release
00:05:32.600
1 million barrels of oil per day, okay, that's 5% of our oil. That should do something.
00:05:40.080
How much oil do we have in the Petroleum Reserve? We have 593.6 million barrels there. So Biden has said
00:05:48.440
that he'll do this for up to 180 days. That would put a serious dent in the U.S. Strategic Petroleum
00:05:53.860
Reserve. But hey, it's there for a reason. So maybe that's what we're going to do. Okay. I'm not
00:05:58.120
completely knocking the policy. But you do have to wonder, why doesn't Biden just let U.S. oil
00:06:05.280
producers produce more oil? This is an artificial problem. It's not as though the U.S. oil producers
00:06:10.460
are at maximum capacity right now. And there's just nothing we can do. And it's Putin's fault that we
00:06:16.080
can't get any more oil out. And it's Iran's fault. And it's Saudi Arabia's fault. It's not. That's not
00:06:20.160
true. It's Joe Biden's fault that we're not making any more oil. It's because the moment Joe Biden
00:06:25.940
came into office, he cut it off. He said, no, we're not going to build more pipelines to ship
00:06:31.380
the oil. No, we're not going to have new oil and gas leases. We're going to temporarily suspend
00:06:36.560
them. He did that right after he took office. And then more recently, he said that that suspension
00:06:40.680
is going to be indefinite. So this is an artificial problem created by Joe Biden. And now it's killing
00:06:46.980
Biden in the polls. So he's trying to sort of reverse course. He's even making public statements
00:06:51.820
castigating the oil companies for not making more oil, the same oil that he said they can't make more
00:06:57.840
of. Biden just said, quote, they can put those profits to productive use by producing more oils,
00:07:05.420
restarting idle wells, or producing on sites they are already leasing. Biden did admit that it takes
00:07:12.300
months, not days, to ramp up production. But he said after he does this strategic release in the
00:07:18.900
meantime, he wants these oil and gas companies to start producing more oil. And the Democrat line on
00:07:24.160
this is that these oil and gas companies, they're sitting on these really, really productive oil
00:07:29.260
leases. They just don't want to do anything with it. They've got 9,000 oil permissions that they can
00:07:35.780
start drilling and they just don't want to. These greedy, selfish oil companies, they want more
00:07:41.120
for some reason, even though those 9,000 would be productive. How stupid do you need to be to notice
00:07:46.460
that oil right now is at all time highs and the oil companies, for some reason, just don't want to
00:07:52.740
make money? No, that's not what's going on. It's that the leases that they currently have are not going
00:07:58.880
to be cost effective. They're not going to be productive. They're not going to be profitable.
00:08:02.500
Another problem here is that sometimes on some of these oil leases, they don't have any way to
00:08:08.860
transport the oil once they pump it out of the ground. And in part, this is because Joe Biden
00:08:13.260
is killing oil pipelines. He's okaying oil pipelines for Vladimir Putin. That's what started
00:08:18.900
the war in Ukraine. That's even according to the Ukraine president, Vladimir Zelensky. He said,
00:08:23.960
if you had not taken the sanctions off of Vladimir Putin's Nord Stream 2 oil pipeline,
00:08:28.040
we wouldn't have the war in Ukraine. So he gives pipelines to Putin, but Biden won't let
00:08:32.420
Americans have the pipelines, which is in part why some of these oil leases are not going to work
00:08:36.960
out. But that's even besides the point. If Joe Biden's opinion right now is that the oil and gas
00:08:43.840
companies need to produce more, then okay, give them new leases. But that's not. He's arguing
00:08:48.200
two contradictory points at the same time. Because the issue with the new oil and gas leases is not
00:08:56.940
that it's inefficient or that the oil companies are sitting on old ones. Joe Biden's argument for
00:09:03.680
not giving the oil companies permission to pump more oil is that it will harm the environment.
00:09:08.900
It's not some sort of economic efficiency issue here. It's an environmental issue.
00:09:14.820
The argument was, we do not want more oil on the old leases, on the new leases, anywhere. We want
00:09:21.840
to move to clean energy. We want to power our country on unicorn tears and rainbows. That was the
00:09:28.200
argument. So now he's trying to have it both ways. Oil companies, every gallon you pump out of the
00:09:35.480
ground is destroying the earth. And so we're going to stop you from doing it. But also, what the hell's
00:09:39.640
wrong with you? You got record profits. Pump more out of the earth. But we're not going to give you
00:09:43.640
the tools to actually pump it out of the earth. Well, now we're going to release it from the
00:09:47.200
petroleum reserve. Well, guess what? When you burn oil from the petroleum reserve,
00:09:50.660
it's just as bad for the environment as when you pump more oil. So it's just like so much else of
00:09:57.260
the Biden administration. This is completely incoherent. They want to have their cake and
00:10:01.960
eat it too. And the effect of that, the practical effect of that is meaninglessness. The practical
00:10:09.140
effect of that is they're not doing anything productive at all. Totally incoherent.
00:10:12.660
And speaking of incoherence in the Biden administration, our vice president, our vice
00:10:18.860
president Kamala Harris has just attempted to explain economics, economics specifically with
00:10:26.020
regard to Jamaica. Please tell me if you can decipher this. We also recognize just as it has
00:10:32.540
been in the United States for Jamaica, one of the issues that has been presented as an issue that is
00:10:38.080
economic in the way of its impact has been the pandemic. So to that end, we are announcing today
00:10:44.280
also that we will assist Jamaica in COVID recovery by assisting in terms of the recovery efforts
00:10:52.900
in Jamaica that have been essential to, I believe, what is necessary to strengthen not only the issue of
00:11:00.240
public health, but also the economy. Ben, Ben, why did you not pack the bong in the travel kit so that
00:11:10.420
I could understand what the vice president had to say? Why? This is so unprofessional. I have a Kamala
00:11:17.300
bong in my desk for a reason, because when she comes out and she says things like the economic recovery
00:11:23.960
is designed for the recovery of in Jamaica and especially for the economy and we must do what
00:11:33.300
we've been doing and the time to do what we do is now to be doing. I have the bong so that I can try
00:11:39.940
to understand what the vice president is saying, but now I can't. Frankly, I probably couldn't even with
00:11:45.680
the bong. I am not in the studio right now. I am just outside of a college campus. I was speaking at
00:11:52.300
Washburn University last night. This was for Trans Visibility Day. The thrust of my speech was
00:11:58.780
why conservatives need to completely stop tolerating transgenderism in all of its forms everywhere
00:12:04.120
for everyone. This excited some of the leftists on campus. There was a massive protest before my
00:12:10.920
speech and it wasn't just protests from the Washburn community. It was protests from surrounding
00:12:17.160
schools. There was actually a professor at the University of Kansas who encouraged her students to come
00:12:21.780
protest to me. You want to talk about incoherence? We'll get to what was said at this protest in just
00:12:28.360
a second. First, though, it's very important to listen to the people that we talk to. It's very
00:12:36.780
important to have respectful and civil dialogue. There was a lot of shouting at this protest last night.
00:12:44.580
Now, when you want the productive kind of shouting, I would recommend you check out

00:13:51.760
Jennifer Raff, a professor at the University of Kansas, encouraged her students to show up to my speech
00:14:00.900
last night at Washburn University, not to listen to the speech, not to go in. She didn't encourage that at all,
00:14:06.200
but to protest me outside of the speech. She said, hey, Jayhawks, let's show our support for our neighbors
00:14:13.140
at Washburn today at 4.30, hashtag ending this transphobic madness. This is a professor, an associate professor
00:14:20.580
of anthropology at the University of Kansas, extremely unprofessional. Can you imagine what her students must think?
00:14:26.660
Certainly her conservative students or her Republican students, but I suspect the vast majority of her
00:14:31.940
students. Because the transgender issue is not just a left versus right, Republican versus Democrat kind
00:14:37.900
of issue. More than half the country knows that men aren't women. I suspect the vast, vast majority of
00:14:45.580
the country knows that men and women are different. This transgenderism issue is an issue that is believed
00:14:52.540
by, I would estimate, 10 to 20 or 30 percent of the country at most. I'm being as charitable as I can.
00:15:02.000
But it's an issue that's believed by 100 percent of the ruling class. So you have this huge disparity
00:15:06.580
here. And this professor is basically saying, if you believe that boys and girls are different,
00:15:11.820
then you're a terrible, awful person and we are going to protest you. I, your professor, am going to go
00:15:16.860
protest you. It was a massive protest before my speech. And then the speech went off without a
00:15:24.120
hitch. I actually ended up speaking to the organizer of one of the protests, who was a confused young
00:15:29.520
lady, but perfectly polite. There were something, I think the room last night held about 350 people.
00:15:36.360
That was the only downside of the speech because there were, I think, a couple hundred people who
00:15:40.100
were outside who ended up streaming the speech on their phones outside of the room. But it was a really
00:15:45.320
wonderful crowd, really respectful. There were great questions. I spoke to one young woman. She came
00:15:50.500
up during the question session and she said, Michael, I had gender dysphoria. I was really confused. I was
00:15:57.040
secretly binding my body parts. I was sort of going through the process of transitioning. And then I was
00:16:03.160
diagnosed with autism. And when people began to treat that as my condition, my gender dysphoria went
00:16:11.100
away. Thank God I wasn't brought into this crazy world of transitioning with the hormones and the
00:16:18.400
butchery and the mutilation. Thank God I had a good family and a good church that reminded me that I'm
00:16:23.660
not actually a man, that I am a woman. And then they diagnosed my actual medical condition. And so I
00:16:29.180
wasn't led into this horribly destructive ideology of transgenderism. It was really amazing. I think we
00:16:34.640
have the clip somewhere on the internet. We'll try to post it later on. There are lots of stories like
00:16:38.660
that, specifically with people who are later diagnosed with autism, but with other diagnoses
00:16:45.220
as well that are now confused for this gender dysphoria madness. So the thrust of my speech
00:16:50.640
was that conservatives have not gone far enough on this issue, that it's not enough to say, look,
00:16:55.380
if you want to live your life as a, if you're a man and you want to live your life as a woman,
00:16:58.700
put on a dress and call yourself Sally. That's your right. That's totally fine. Just don't compete in
00:17:02.580
women's sports. Just don't do it to kids or whatever way we've tried to split the baby. I just think
00:17:08.140
that's a losing, that's a losing strategy. When we live in a society together, we need to agree
00:17:13.720
about the basic facts of society. Otherwise we can't have a society. If we can't agree on the
00:17:18.160
definition of man and woman, we can't communicate. We can't govern ourselves. We don't really have a
00:17:22.320
country. And so we, we have to reject transgenderism, not just for kids, not just for college swimmers,
00:17:29.700
but for everyone. Either it's true or it's false. That's that. Either the claims are true that your
00:17:35.880
sex and gender can be different and a man can secretly be a woman, or that's not true. And we
00:17:41.480
all know it's not true. And so we need to stop tolerating it entirely. It's not respectful.
00:17:45.600
It's not loving. It's not kind to indulge delusions that ultimately are going to harm people even more
00:17:50.420
than they've been harmed already. So you can check out that speech online. I think they put posted
00:17:54.580
under the provocative title, banning transgenderism. You can find that on YAF TV,
00:18:00.360
but this is being pushed by the elites, by your professors are trying to get you to buy into this.
00:18:10.280
Frankly, your kindergarten teachers now are trying to get you to buy into this. The White House is
00:18:13.580
pushing this, not just for adults even, but for kids as well. The White House just came out to
00:18:19.080
endorse sex change, quote unquote, surgeries for kids. Mutilating the bodies of little kids,
00:18:28.920
pumping little kids full of hormones. This just out from the Office of Population Affairs over at
00:18:36.400
the Department of Health and Human Services. You can get it on hhs.gov. Gender-affirming care and
00:18:43.180
young people. How young are we talking? We're not talking about 20-year-olds. We're talking about
00:18:49.940
little children. You've got social affirmation, puberty blockers, hormone therapy,
00:18:56.800
and gender-affirming surgeries. You can read all about their crazy ideas on the website, but
00:19:03.240
just this phrase alone shows you what they're talking about. Puberty blockers, that they want
00:19:07.660
to give little kids these cross-sex hormones so that they do not develop as they ordinarily would,
00:19:13.900
but become some sort of eunuch or become some kind of cosmetically slightly more similar to the
00:19:21.400
opposite-sex person. This is true quackery. This is true child abuse. This should be illegal,
00:19:30.040
and the people perpetrating this in our government should go to prison. This is really hideous stuff.
00:19:35.260
But why? Why is it happening? Is it because we make these jokes, and I think most people are joking,
00:19:43.160
but I'm not sure, that the reason that they're doing this is because the libs just want to diddle your
00:19:48.960
kids, basically, because the libs are creepy pedophiles, and they want to just groom your
00:19:54.520
kids for sexual acts. Maybe that's true in some cases. I don't know, but I don't think that explains
00:19:58.780
the majority of this phenomenon. I think the reason they're doing this is political. I don't think it's
00:20:05.100
their personal sexual gratification, at least in the vast majority of cases. I think it's political.
00:20:10.860
I think they realize that if they can redefine sex, if they can redefine human nature,
00:20:16.620
then they can redefine anything. If they can shape five-year-olds on some of the most basic
00:20:23.700
aspects of their identity, then they can transform the world. And that's always what they're after.
00:20:28.680
They always want to remake the world anew. The past is always terrible and awful and oppressive.
00:20:32.340
The present is always a crisis, according to the left, and the futures are always going to be great,
00:20:36.500
as long as we can make ourselves gods and remake the whole damn world. So the White House is endorsing
00:20:41.740
this. Jen Psaki, White House spokesman, just came out furious about bills that won't let
00:20:47.140
predator adults trans the kids. Bills that we're seeing in Oklahoma, bills that we're seeing in
00:20:53.560
Arizona. She says that these sorts of bills are extreme and harmful. They're unacceptable,
00:20:58.480
and the White House won't stop fighting for the justice and equality of chopping off kids' genitals.
00:21:03.820
Joe Biden just rolled out gender-neutral passports, quote unquote. Seems like a little bit of a national
00:21:08.620
security risk to me, but there you have it. The State Department is now letting American citizens
00:21:13.880
choose a third sex. You can be male, you can be female, or you can be X on your passport for people
00:21:22.140
who are neither male nor female. But those people don't exist. That's not real. That's not real.
00:21:27.520
Even in the exceedingly rare case of sexual or chromosomal or genital ambiguity, sometimes we call
00:21:34.900
this intersex or hermaphroditism. Even in that vanishingly rare case, it's not totally ambiguous.
00:21:41.740
Okay, you can still classify someone as male or female. And frankly, that's not what this X is going
00:21:47.160
to be used for. The X is not going to be used for the infinitesimally small percentage of people who
00:21:52.380
have sexual ambiguity. It's going to be used for people who are, quote unquote, transgender, where there's
00:21:58.400
no physical ambiguity whatsoever. We now have on our official identity documents from the federal
00:22:03.620
government that are largely used for national security purposes, this preposterous ideology.
00:22:11.300
Why? Because of the formerly handful of people, now it's spreading like a social contagion, but the
00:22:16.600
formerly handful of people who suffered from this kind of confusion? No, it's for the political
00:22:22.140
revolutionary consequences of this, which is eradicating the distinction between men and women,
00:22:27.020
which is something that political leftist radicals have been trying to do for centuries.
00:22:31.800
And I'm sorry to say it, even putatively conservative institutions are falling into this.
00:22:41.820
You know, I would never criticize Fox News. I would never do it. No. No, sir, not me. Try to get me to do it.
00:22:49.140
I won't. However, well, I'll just, you know what I'll do? I'm going to keep opinion completely out of this.
00:22:57.040
I'm just going to read you what happened. Fox News has hired Bruce Jenner as, as Caitlyn Jenner to be a
00:23:07.340
political analyst for the network. Because apparently the transgender perspective was lacking
00:23:15.960
from the putatively conservative network. This is the, again, I'm not, I'm not injecting my opinion.
00:23:23.920
I'm just reading what they said. This is from the Fox News CEO, Suzanne Scott, quote,
00:23:29.300
Caitlyn's story is an inspiration to us all. She is a trail, she is a trailblazer in the LGBTQ plus
00:23:37.560
community, which I guess is a good thing. And her illustrious career spans a variety of fields
00:23:44.420
that will be an asset, tremendous asset for our audience. I'm humbled by this unique opportunity
00:23:49.880
to speak directly to Fox News, media's millions of viewers about a range of issues that are
00:23:54.700
important to the American people. Like transgender, like the affirmation of transgenderism.
00:24:04.320
With conservatives like this, one wonders why we have a need of liberals. In Fox's defense,
00:24:10.860
by the way, it would appear that Fox has been telling the truth. The whole, Fox says, Fox says,
00:24:17.260
I'm not a conservative network. We're not pushing conservatism. We're fair and balanced. We're
00:24:21.860
sort of a centrist network. And the left always made fun of them for saying this and saying, no,
00:24:26.840
you're not, you're a far right network. You're not, you're not centrist. You're not fair and balanced.
00:24:30.000
Well, no, I think they're probably, I don't know about, I don't know about whatever slogan you want
00:24:35.060
to use, but it would seem that they're a more centrist network that has a lot of Democrats on the
00:24:39.380
payroll and is now presenting very radical far left ideologies like transgenderism in a way that is
00:24:45.700
affirming those ideologies using pronouns, she, to refer to men who think that they're women.
00:24:51.960
It's not, it's not just the far left elite established institutions that are pushing this
00:24:57.320
thing. As I have warned you from the beginning, hate to say I told you so, putting on my Nolstradamus
00:25:01.600
ad here. It's, it's basically, might be entirely all of the elite established institutions are pushing
00:25:10.220
an ideology that the vast majority of Americans correctly know is completely insane.

Now, speaking of men and women, Clarence Thomas is in big trouble. Supreme Court Justice Clarence
00:25:56.600
Thomas, probably the favorite justice among the conservatives. The left hates him. He's the
00:26:02.760
least favorite justice for the leftists. Well, Aaron Rupar, who formerly was with Vox.com, I think he's an
00:26:10.480
independent left-wing journalist now. He's got the smoking gun. You see, because Clarence Thomas's
00:26:16.420
wife, Ginny Thomas, is active in conservative politics. Clarence Thomas is a judge on the Supreme
00:26:24.420
Court. The left always wants him to recuse himself from cases because Ginny Thomas is involved in
00:26:29.420
politics. And that's, and Clarence Thomas, he's not allowed to talk about the law if his wife is in
00:26:34.520
politics. And now they've got a clip of Clarence Thomas admitting in an interview that he relies
00:26:42.200
upon his wife as a, I don't know, as almost like a sort of the other half of his person, almost sort
00:26:48.380
of like part of, of, of his one flesh because they're in a marriage together.
00:26:55.380
It's, first of all, it's, um, it'd be impossible without you. I have to be honest. I mean, it would
00:27:03.380
be, um, it's sort of like, how do you run with one leg? You can't. I mean, the, um, it makes it whole
00:27:19.480
Ha ha, we got him. We got him. Recuse yourself, Justice Thomas. You just admitted you love your
00:27:26.580
wife. Ha ha. That's a, that is a shocking revelation, apparently to some liberals that a
00:27:34.820
man would love his wife. First of all, that's shocking to some liberals, but also that a man
00:27:40.080
would speak in these terms. You're like the other half of me. It, it, being without you would be like
00:27:46.020
having one leg. This, this actually, I really believe is shocking to liberals. I think a lot
00:27:53.300
of liberals will understand that the man loves his wife. Some won't, but very few liberals, I suspect,
00:27:59.300
will understand marriage in this way, which is the traditional way. It's the Christian way,
00:28:04.920
which is that man and woman leave their families and join together in what God has joined, let no
00:28:10.840
man separate and they become one flesh. They really are part of one another. That, because the way that
00:28:19.560
the libs today conceive of marriage is that it's a contract, just like any other contract. You, you
00:28:25.460
form an accounting firm with your friend. Well, that's a contract. You agree to have a party catered by
00:28:33.140
the local baker. That's a contract. And you engage in a marriage. That's a contract too. That contract can
00:28:38.160
be dissolved for whatever reason. You don't need to prove fault. You can have a no-fault dissolution,
00:28:42.500
no-fault divorce in that marriage. If you're no longer being fulfilled, if you no longer really
00:28:46.520
like one another, you've got totally separate lives. Often you've got totally separate bank
00:28:50.680
accounts. You both just pursue your careers however you want. And when the marriage becomes
00:28:54.880
inconvenient, I guess it has to dissolve. That's the way that the libs conceive of marriage today.
00:29:01.840
Marriage has nothing to do with sexual complementarity. Everywhere throughout all of human
00:29:06.820
history, marriage has been understood to involve a husband and a wife. Now, no longer, just two
00:29:13.360
people. Because people can sign contracts. Men and women are basically the same. That's what
00:29:17.620
transgenderism tells us. That's what all of the elites tell us now. So, no big deal. No big deal,
00:29:24.440
right? Wrong. Wrong. Clarence Thomas is right. He obviously should not recuse himself for loving his
00:29:31.820
wife and having apparently at least a relatively normal marriage compared to what everyone else
00:29:39.280
in the elite circles has. They're shocked. They're absolutely shocked at him. Speaking of men and women
00:29:45.580
and loyalty, J.D. Vance, who's the author of Hillbilly Elegy, he's running for Senate in Ohio now. He's
00:29:52.440
running on a much more conservative platform, culturally conservative platform, than many other
00:29:57.740
Republicans. He's in hot water because, you see, Marjorie Taylor Greene, she spoke at a conference
00:30:04.720
that had all sorts of nasty people at it. And she didn't say anything wrong at the conference.
00:30:09.740
She didn't. No one really objects. But she was associating with people who are mean and nasty
00:30:14.720
and terrible. And so the left basically wants to cancel her and is trying to get anyone who's
00:30:20.040
associated with her to condemn Marjorie Taylor Greene, not for saying anything wrong or doing anything
00:30:26.500
wrong, but appearing in an event that was unsavory. J.D. Vance refuses to do that.
00:30:34.840
This highlights something, Karen, that I really don't like that the media does. And they do it to
00:30:39.120
Republicans. Of course, they never do it to Democrats, which is they play this guilt by
00:30:43.020
association game where they get us to stab our friends in the back. And then we wonder why the
00:30:47.000
left always wins, even though we sometimes win elections because we're constantly stabbing our
00:30:51.280
friends in the back. The accusation against Marjorie is pretty simple, that she appeared
00:30:55.760
at a conference where somebody said something bad. And I asked, did she say something bad at
00:31:00.280
the conference? I actually watched the remarks. I agreed with nearly every word that she said.
00:31:03.620
I hate this about politics. I was raised by my mamaw. She's a great woman. She's from
00:31:09.760
southeastern Kentucky. She called us hillbillies growing up. And she told us that the thing that
00:31:14.540
mattered more, more than anything, was loyalty. There's no business in the world that asks you to
00:31:20.320
stab your friends in the back like politics. I absolutely refuse to do it to Marjorie Taylor
00:31:24.620
Green. She is my friend. And she did nothing wrong. She said nothing wrong. And I'm absolutely
00:31:30.400
not going to throw her under the bus or anybody else who's a friend of mine.
00:31:33.680
I love this response. Because he's totally ignoring whatever claims the libs are making.
00:31:44.100
Whatever guilt by association, by association, by association claims the libs are making
00:31:49.000
that Marjorie Taylor Green. He's saying, hey, did Marjorie Taylor Green say something
00:31:53.400
wrong? No, she didn't. She just said completely mainstream things. She just showed up to an
00:31:58.120
event, one event among probably hundreds that she does every year, that because you can have guilt
00:32:03.360
by association, association, association, you're going to try to get me, someone who's sort of
00:32:08.460
associated with her, to condemn her. No, I don't think I'm going to do that. No, I don't. And he
00:32:14.280
says something so important. People really ought to keep this in mind. Loyalty matters.
00:32:22.020
Loyalty matters in your personal life and in politics. Frankly, it matters to a very high
00:32:29.560
degree in both. It probably matters more in politics, but there's a great temptation in
00:32:33.840
politics to throw your friends under the bus the first time that it's convenient, the first time you
00:32:37.920
catch a little heat because your buddy does something wrong, your political ally does something
00:32:42.840
wrong or is even accused of doing something wrong. Then all of a sudden we throw everyone under the
00:32:49.040
bus. The libs don't have this problem. The libs stick together. When they do things that are very
00:32:55.620
wrong, actually, they stick together. I don't have time to get really into this today. We'll have to
00:33:00.620
get to it next week, but I'll give you an example of this. The Hunter Biden laptop was completely real.
00:33:06.420
The entire liberal establishment said it was completely fake and they called it disinformation and they shut it
00:33:11.360
down. I would suspect most of them knew that it was real, but they lied and they all covered up for
00:33:16.660
one another. The Hunter Biden laptop, which now even the New York Times, even the Washington Post
00:33:20.440
admits is real, shows that not only was he profiting from crooked contracts from the corrupt Ukrainian
00:33:25.960
oligarchs, not only was he profiting all around the world with his father's name, but he was making
00:33:32.660
millions of dollars from China. Previously, we had been told he didn't actually solve the deal with
00:33:37.060
China that he, that it was just on the table, but he didn't actually make any money. No, it turns out
00:33:41.540
the guy made just under 5 million bucks from the Chinese, from a crooked Chinese energy company
00:33:46.600
between 2017 and 2018. That was in a retainer and in consulting fees. And by the way, he was holding
00:33:53.300
big chunks of equity, valuable assets for his father, 10 held by H for the big guy. That's the line that no
00:34:02.440
one wants you to talk about. We'll get it into more of the Hunter Biden laptop next week. Just a reminder
00:34:08.060
that in, in, forget about guilt by association. You showed up to some conference, someone said
00:34:12.560
something at the conference. We're talking about extraordinarily high level corruption with national
00:34:17.840
security implications in China, in Ukraine, from Russia, that the son of the president was doing
00:34:23.100
potentially to benefit the president himself and the entire liberal media stick together. And it was
00:34:28.940
politically very effective. So if they're going to do that with things that are extremely unjust
00:34:32.860
and immoral and corrupt, can't we do that when we don't need to do things that are unjust, when we
00:34:38.420
don't need to do things that are corrupt, when we don't need to do things that are immoral, when we just
00:34:41.860
need to stick by our friends and allies in politics? I think we can. I believe conservatives can.
00:34:46.580

always hear about the thread count in the sheets. Did you know thread count doesn't matter really at

all? What matters is the quality of the threads. That's much more important. And with bull and branch,

00:37:00.560
be right back with The Mailbag. Welcome back to the show. We are now in my favorite time of the week.
00:37:19.100
That would be The Mailbag. First question up from Ben. Hey Michael, my wife and I are in our 20s
00:37:24.300
and are very happy with just the two of us. We've talked about kids, but neither of us are sure
00:37:29.680
we actually want them. As Christians, we are obligated, are we obligated slash called slash
00:37:36.480
supposed to have children? We're not sold on having kids, but we also want to live a life and
00:37:41.780
have a marriage pleasing to God. Thank you for all you do. We love the show. That's so
00:37:44.660
wonderful to hear this question. Thank you for the compliment. And I love this question in particular
00:37:50.480
because there's a very simple answer. Yes, have kids. That's it. We can move on right now.
00:37:58.580
Not everyone in a marriage gets to have kids. A lot of people don't get to have kids. A lot of
00:38:03.700
people struggle with infertility and it's extremely painful for them. But everyone in a marriage has an
00:38:10.400
obligation to be open to life, to be open to being fruitful and to multiplying, to giving of your love
00:38:19.520
and yourself entirely to the other person, to your spouse, to your other half without holding anything
00:38:24.900
back. Yes, you do have that obligation. I sympathize with you. I empathize with you, frankly, because
00:38:29.960
you're in your 20s and you're having fun and you're going to brunch and you're going out and having a
00:38:34.080
good time and you're living that dink lifestyle, double income, no kids potentially, and you can go on
00:38:40.640
fun vacations and you can go to nice restaurants and that's great and it's fun. And I did it myself
00:38:45.900
in my 20s and it's so great, isn't it, to not have a lot of responsibilities and to go on and do it.
00:38:52.560
But two points on that. One, ultimately that will not be fulfilling. Ultimately you'll get sick of the
00:39:01.720
mimosas. Two, marriage is not just about pleasing yourself. This is a trap that the libs fall into.
00:39:12.560
If you believe that the purpose of marriage is just to give yourself a lot of pleasure
00:39:16.860
and then that's it, then what happens when the pleasure runs out? What happens when they stop
00:39:24.040
refilling the mimosas? What happens when you get tired of going to the same restaurant for the 500th
00:39:28.280
time? Then what are you doing? Marriage is about building something, about coming together and
00:39:34.860
becoming something different than you were. The man, just like the sperm and the egg come together and
00:39:40.380
they create something different than they were previously, something totally unique. The same
00:39:44.060
is true of a marriage. You leave your family, your wife leaves her family, you come together and you
00:39:47.940
form something new. It's a new family. And you do something and you grow. Just like that little baby
00:39:53.020
is going to grow in the womb, your family is going to grow. You may not be able to have kids. A lot of
00:39:57.940
people are really surprised when they decide, in their 20s they don't want kids, in their 30s they decide
00:40:02.140
we do want kids and they're shocked to find out that it's harder than it looks. And maybe they can't
00:40:06.440
have kids. And then you talk about where to go from there. I'm not saying everyone is called to
00:40:10.660
that. I'm not saying everyone's called to marriage for that matter. But if you are, I would strongly
00:40:15.900
recommend you do the thing. There is actually no ambiguity on this. So best of luck. Have lots of
00:40:20.560
babies. This is also the other way we're going to beat the libs. I remember I was a teenager and we
00:40:25.340
saw Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels. He said, Governor Daniels, how do we beat the libs? He said, well,
00:40:30.940
you can either outfox them, outpersuade them, outmaneuver them in politics. That's tricky.
00:40:36.680
They're pretty clever. Or you can outbreed them. And I would recommend the latter because the latter
00:40:40.600
is more fun. So try that. From Frank, I met the point of baptizing my baby and I was wondering
00:40:45.420
how baptizing a baby is not abuse in the sense that he's not consenting to it. Maybe he will grow
00:40:49.840
and decide to follow another religion or be an atheist. Should we wait until he's an adult to
00:40:53.580
baptize him? Thanks for your time. I know a lot of people in the audience probably do not agree with
00:40:58.040
infant baptism. Infant baptism, of course, has been practiced throughout the entire history of
00:41:03.400
the church going back to its earliest days. It is found in scripture when you hear in the book of
00:41:08.240
Acts, for instance, of whole households being baptized. It's alluded to, I certainly believe,
00:41:14.040
and it is traditionally understood to be found in scripture when Christ says, let the little
00:41:19.500
children come to be, not just the children who are rational and consent and they're past the age of
00:41:23.880
maturity and they're in their teenage years, but the little children too. But beyond anyone's
00:41:29.600
qualms with infant baptism, that's actually not the point of this question. The point of this question
00:41:35.080
is, should I do something to or for my child that he can't consent to? And the answer to that is,
00:41:43.800
duh, of course. Is it morally licit to do something to or for my child without his consent? Yes,
00:41:51.860
of course. That's everything you do for your child. I don't think your child consents to nap time all
00:41:56.340
the time. I don't think your child probably consents to eating his broccoli, but you have him do that
00:42:01.880
anyway because that's what it means to raise a child. That's what it means to educate someone.
00:42:05.600
Education is in many ways coercive. I don't think your child is picking out his clothing. You are
00:42:10.340
coercing your child to wear his winter jacket when it's snowy outside. You're making decisions for your
00:42:16.840
child because that child is in your care and you are raising that child. The same is true in his
00:42:23.820
academic education and certainly true in his religious life. Even beyond the question of
00:42:28.860
baptism, are you going to take the child to church? He's not consenting to it. How do you know that one
00:42:33.900
day he won't decide that he wants to be a Jew or a Muslim or a Hindu? So isn't it wrong to take him
00:42:39.000
to church, spending all of his Sundays at church? Are you going to read the Bible to your child or have
00:42:45.400
your child read the Bible? What if he doesn't want to? What if he wants to end up becoming a Buddhist?
00:42:52.120
He won't even have that choice if you don't educate him. This is even beyond the question
00:42:57.640
of religion. This is one of the paradoxes of education is that the point of education is to
00:43:03.640
make you free, but the only way to become educated is to be forced to be educated. The only way to become
00:43:10.220
educated is to get a slap on the wrist, to get bad grades if you don't do your homework, to be forced
00:43:14.520
to do your homework, to be forced to read the book, to be forced to follow the curriculum, even when
00:43:18.400
you'd rather go play outside at recess. But only through that process of shaping and coercion,
00:43:24.240
let's call it what it is, then one can be free and then one actually can choose. So
00:43:28.320
then beyond that, there's actually another question raised by this issue, which is why do you want to
00:43:34.800
baptize your child? Presumably you want to baptize your child because you believe in Jesus and you think
00:43:41.240
that Jesus is the way and the truth and the life and people who are within the body of Christ have
00:43:46.460
life in them and people who are outside of it don't have life in them and this is the way that
00:43:50.760
your child is going to have eternal life and this is the way that your child is going to be close to
00:43:54.200
his God and you believe it's true and good for him. Presumably that's why you want it. I don't think
00:43:59.700
it's just because you want to have a fun lunch after this kind of strange religious ceremony. No,
00:44:04.660
you want to do it because you think it's true and good. So then do it. That's for the good of your
00:44:11.800
child. Not everything in life is about consent. It is important that we cultivate our free will and
00:44:20.220
be able to make good decisions. But there is also just a question of good and bad and right and wrong
00:44:26.340
and true and false for that matter. And when you're raising a kid, you want to cultivate those
00:44:32.340
things in your child. You want to cultivate virtue. You want your child to pursue good. You want your
00:44:36.100
child to pursue the truth. You want to have him pursue the things that are right. And that involves
00:44:41.760
shaping his very will, shaping his desire. When kids are poorly educated, the effect of that is that
00:44:47.760
their desires are for bad things. It's not just that they're doing bad things. It's that they're
00:44:52.320
actively desiring those bad things. This is what happens with addiction. I don't have any desire for
00:44:58.440
heroin. I don't. I'm not saying I don't have desires for bad things. We all do. It's a fallen
00:45:02.540
world. But I don't have any desire for heroin. I've never done heroin. I bet if I did heroin right
00:45:07.240
now, I would, well, I don't really like needles. So I wouldn't probably like it very much the first
00:45:12.080
time. But if I did it once, twice, three times, I bet I would start to desire that heroin. That's
00:45:17.980
called addiction. And my very desire would be turned for something that was harmful and destructive.
00:45:23.560
And so you're shaping the desire of your child. You're shaping the very way that his consent and his
00:45:27.480
free will will work. All of which is a long way of saying, get your kid baptized. From Sam,
00:45:32.560
dear Michael, I sometimes struggle with overthinking about my past and second guessing things I did not
00:45:37.640
did not do or chances I did not take. I don't want to have regrets in life. So I wanted to ask your
00:45:42.820
advice on how to not have regrets in the future and moving on from having regrets in your past.
00:45:49.240
Sincerely, no regrets. Good question because you're asking about two things. You're asking about
00:45:52.260
the regrets for the things you did do and regrets for the things you didn't do. There's a line in
00:45:58.360
Glen Gary, Glen Ross, which in the movie version is played by Al Pacino. And the line is, you regret
00:46:05.640
the things you don't do. So you regret the things that you don't do. And a lot of people think that
00:46:12.700
that's true. And I suppose that's true. But you also regret the things that you do do if those
00:46:18.660
things are wrong and shameful. We all have regrets for things that we did that we wish we didn't do.
00:46:25.940
And a great many people regret opportunities that they missed, chances they allowed to pass by.
00:46:32.820
The girl, the one that got away. A lot of people have those things. Everyone has those things in
00:46:37.700
one way or another. How do you move on from it? Well, one, there is some solace in knowing that
00:46:43.100
that's inevitable. That's the way this fallen world works. You're going to screw up. You're going to
00:46:48.200
regret the things. You're lucky if you regret the things that you screwed up. Because it means
00:46:52.180
you've at least had a kind of repentance. It means you at least have a working moral conscience. It
00:46:56.140
means at least you have a kind of clarity. That's good. Actually, having regrets is the first step
00:47:01.440
on the road to recovery. And then the question is, what are you going to do about it? You can't
00:47:06.120
change the past. You can change the future. So you can change your behavior. But then ultimately,
00:47:10.460
at a spiritual level, you need absolution. You need redemption. This is the essence of Christianity.
00:47:16.300
Christianity. And so how are you going to do that? Well, the Christian understanding is that
00:47:21.720
Christ died for your sins. And you can be absolved of your sins. All of your sins. Even
00:47:26.000
your worst, terrible, blackest sins. If you turn toward Christ and accept him. And the way I would
00:47:32.120
recommend doing that is receiving the sacraments, joining the church, going to confession. It's like
00:47:36.320
the laundromat for your souls. And going forth and sinning no more. And then you are going to sin
00:47:40.660
some more. And then you're going to repent again. And you're going to turn your desire, just like we were
00:47:44.420
talking about in the last question, you're going to turn your desire slowly toward holiness and
00:47:48.500
toward goodness. That would be my suggestion. You should actually take comfort in the fact that
00:47:56.600
you have those regrets. Don't mire in those regrets. The devil is always trying to pull you back to the
00:48:02.300
past, pull you back to all the terrible things that you've done. You should actually, in some ways,
00:48:07.980
rejoice when you have those regrets. Because they're a warning post. They're a recognition of things you
00:48:13.560
don't want to do again. And then go seek salvation. You're not going to get it in and of yourself.
00:48:18.240
So you're going to have to find it elsewhere in your God. No two ways about it. Sometimes people,
00:48:24.520
I fear that people get a little tired of my religious talk. Because we're talking about
00:48:28.640
politics. We're talking about culture. We're talking about personal behavior. Why does it come
00:48:31.940
back to religion so often? Because all human conflict is theological. And so if you want these
00:48:36.380
ultimate answers, it's going to have to get to that. That's been true in every culture,
00:48:39.560
everywhere in the world, for all of human history. I know that people now, they're really
00:48:43.600
enlightened and they're really smart. And they've got Dr. Fauci and they've got science. So they
00:48:46.980
don't need religion. But those people are big dumb idiots. And you do. So if you want the ultimate
00:48:51.800
answers, you're going to have to dig in that deeply. From Anonymous. Okay. Dear General Knowles,
00:48:57.740
another relationship question for you. I recently met a nice girl at a local bar. We hit it off well
00:49:02.640
during the convo. We realized that we have the same interests and values. When I asked her if she listens to
00:49:07.500
any podcasts, she immediately brought up the Michael Knowles show. A refreshing surprise. I'm
00:49:11.860
going to pause it there. Marry her. She's a great girl. She's smart. She's got a good head on her
00:49:16.100
shoulders. She'll raise up great kids. Okay. I'll finish the question. We're both Catholic. We even
00:49:21.060
share the same heritage. Half Irish and half Italian. It's almost too good to be true. We danced all night
00:49:25.840
and shared more than a few goodnight kisses. She seems a bit shy. And I really don't want to mess
00:49:31.480
anything up. My question for you is, how do I best walk the line between showing her that I'm
00:49:35.200
interested and not coming on too strong? Sincerely, a military man without a plan this time. Don't
00:49:40.480
worry, bro. Come on. Are you kidding me? I think you're fine. I don't, you know, don't show up
00:49:44.960
outside her bedroom window with a boombox, but that would be a little aggressive. But yeah, go ask her
00:49:49.840
and get some more drinks. Frankly, it sounds like you really hit it off. So skip the drinks, go straight
00:49:54.680
to dinner. You know, ask her out on a date, go get nice dinner, pick up the check. I probably don't need
00:49:59.580
to tell you this. You're a military man. You're, you listen to my show. You are, you are a man of
00:50:05.060
faith. I think you would understand this generally, but you know, act like a man, act like a gentleman.
00:50:10.300
You don't want to seem desperate. You're not desperate, but you're interested. You're eager.
00:50:14.640
You're attracted to this girl. You're confident. Girls like that. Okay. You don't need to, you don't
00:50:19.700
need to worry about playing coy. You're not a 12 year old. All right. You're, you know, you're a man.
00:50:23.680
You know what you want. You want the right stuff. You want to go get it. Enjoy. I'm Michael Knowles.
