Summary
A bird defecates on Joe Biden's blazer, and it just might be a sign that his luck is about to turn around. Michael Kinsley also talks about inflation, and why you should be worried about it.
Transcript
00:00:00.000
President Biden has not had much luck lately. Inflation at record highs, gas prices also at
00:00:07.360
record highs, a migrant surge at the border, a crime surge within the borders, the first major
00:00:13.080
war in Europe in 70 years, approval ratings in the doldrums, and the progressive loss of his ability
00:00:19.140
to form coherent English sentences. But yesterday, Biden finally may have received a sign that his
00:00:26.700
luck is about to turn around when a bird defecated on his blazer. At the center of our efforts to build
00:00:34.680
a future that's made in America. And that's not hyperbole. It's about being made in America.
00:00:40.900
A lot of that has to do with this. And there it is. There you can see it. He's talking and then
00:00:45.220
this little white kind of appears and we know what happened. A bird defecated on him. The notion
00:00:50.620
that a bird defecating on you constitutes good luck is an old Russian superstition based on the sheer
00:00:57.420
improbability of it happening. Experts have put the odds at around 0.18%. That's the regression.
00:01:08.600
The analysis has shown that it's that small. But it's not true for everyone. If you live in New York
00:01:15.200
City, the odds increase to about 1.14% since New York is home to more than 1 million pigeons.
00:01:22.020
And both of those numbers are based on an average person spending 5,184 seconds per day outside
00:01:28.120
exposed to the predations of bird bowels. If you increase the number of pigeons in your city,
00:01:34.420
or if you increase the time you spent exposed to birds, your chances would increase even more.
00:01:40.920
If, for instance, you locked yourself in a room filled to the brim with birds and gave yourself
00:01:47.280
nowhere to hide, your odds of getting crapped on by a bird would be 100%. Which is why I don't think
00:01:54.480
Joe Biden's bad luck is going to turn around. Because Joe Biden's bad luck has not been based
00:02:01.300
on random chance. Inflation is up in part because Biden and his party have printed and spent money
00:02:08.280
with reckless abandon. And in part because gas is increasing as well, which occurred because Joe
00:02:14.440
Biden stifled American oil production, shut down a new American oil pipeline, and then gave a new
00:02:19.700
pipeline to Vladimir Putin, which in turn gave Putin the opportunity to invade Ukraine, which is
00:02:25.840
causing oil to spike even more, causing massive domestic instability, which Biden is exacerbating by
00:02:32.280
encouraging an historic flood of illegal aliens pouring over the southern border by refusing to
00:02:37.560
enforce the law, which in turn Biden and Democrats are also flouting throughout the rest of the
00:02:42.840
country by defunding the police and letting criminals off the hook, which in turn is causing
00:02:48.020
an historic wave of crime that is now entering its third year. In other words, Biden has made his own
00:02:54.560
bad luck. And it's going to take a lot more than avian excrement to turn it around.
00:03:00.100
I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:03:07.560
My favorite comment yesterday comes from Fukushima Rose. What a name. My Fukushima Rose,
00:03:13.440
the glowingest flower that grows. I became a Daily Wire member over the weekend. One reason in
00:03:18.280
particular was to watch Fauci Unmasked. I give the documentary an A minus only because Michael never
00:03:26.580
did his Fauci impression. Outstanding job. Thank you very much, Fukushima Rose. I appreciate your
00:03:32.360
compliment. I certainly hope that other people come and watch it as well, because if you don't
00:03:39.200
believe it yet, I hope the last few days have shown you Dr. Fauci is coming back. COVID, it's
00:03:46.160
all coming back, folks. The libs are just waiting on it, but they're holding on to that power, okay?
00:03:52.860
And as all the other political issues get worse, as they do worse in the polls for the midterms,
00:03:56.980
you're going to see that come right up. One of the big issues for them is inflation,
00:04:01.640
specifically inflation with regard to food, which is why you got to check out Good Ranchers.
00:04:07.740
Right now, go to goodranchers.com slash Knowles. Most people listening to this show right now
00:04:12.620
have never in their entire lifetimes seen inflation like we are seeing right now,
00:04:17.360
and that inflation is particularly pronounced when it comes to food. What if I told you,
00:04:22.480
you can inflation-proof your food purchases right now forever? And I'm specifically talking
00:04:30.400
about the most important delicious food you put on the table. I'm talking about beef and better than
00:04:35.880
organic chicken too, but I'm more concerned with that steak, with those burgers, with that ground
00:04:40.000
beef. You can subscribe right now to Good Ranchers. They already have ridiculously low prices for
00:04:44.940
fabulous quality meat, amazing American beef and meat from American ranches, and you just get locked
00:04:53.040
into that price forever. And you get another $30 discount on top of that for their prime steaks,
00:04:59.120
for their better than organic chicken. The way to do it, it's not too good to be true. This is for
00:05:03.540
our listeners. Go to goodranchers.com slash Knowles to save on the quality you've been looking for.

00:05:23.160
combat inflation with Good Ranchers. American meat delivered. Joe Biden was defecated on
00:05:28.900
while he was giving a speech in Iowa about inflation. Frankly, the part where the bird
00:05:36.060
relieved itself on Biden's shoulder was one of the more coherent parts of the speech. The rest of the
00:05:41.380
speech sounded like this. Now, as I was campaigned here and I made that commitment, I don't think
00:05:47.080
anybody heard it, but we're back. We're back. And I, uh, my name is Joe Biden. I work for, uh,
00:05:54.760
Congressman Maxiney. There she is. I learned a long time ago when she says, I have a, I just say yes.
00:06:06.700
So, and frankly, even that rambling nonsense was more coherent than a lot of the rest of the speech.
00:06:12.620
Here, obviously here, Biden is trying to tell jokes. This has been Biden's whole career. He
00:06:18.360
doesn't really have anything to say. He doesn't really have any political vision. Whatever political
00:06:22.360
vision he had, he's contradicted many times because he's an empty suit politician. He's a glad hander
00:06:28.160
who just licks his finger and figures out which way the wind is blowing. Some politicians actually do
00:06:32.620
have ideological views and really pursue them. Biden isn't one of them. So he's always gotten by on
00:06:37.900
jokes and smiling and slap you on the back, but he can't even tell the jokes anymore.
00:06:43.180
Uh, mine, uh, he kind of forgets where he is. He looks down at the paper. Uh, I'm Joe Biden. Uh,
00:06:48.420
and I, I work for the Congressman. Ha ha ha ha ha. And, but he's not delivering them well. So he's
00:06:54.780
got nothing. So he's stammering around. People are trying to politely sort of chuckle. Then he starts
00:07:01.960
We have a $4 billion industry. It's called agriculture in Delaware.
00:07:06.680
And it's mostly, we have more chickens in Delaware, broiler chickens than you have in
00:07:11.880
the entire Midwest, I think. But all kidding aside, it is a big industry in Delaware.
00:07:16.900
All kidding aside, but it, it, it doesn't work. Joe Biden's usual MO, his usual political strategy
00:07:25.500
of just kind of telling jokes and getting by and smiling doesn't work because he, he is not forming
00:07:32.020
English sentences properly. Either the man is drunk before he gives every speech or he's senile. It's
00:07:38.320
the only way to explain how he's slurring his words and missing his cadence and screwing up the syntax.
00:07:43.760
They're going to try to blame it on a childhood stutter that he had 70 years ago, allegedly that
00:07:49.260
just disappeared magically for what? 65, 70 years. And then it came roaring back when Biden
00:07:55.460
turns 78 years old. It's, I don't think that's very believable or, or he's drunk, which I don't
00:08:02.360
think he is, or he's senile. In any event, the latter is probably the most worrisome. At least
00:08:08.540
if he were drunk, he could go to rehab for a week and come back and actually run the country,
00:08:12.460
but he can't. He's senile. And that's why everything is falling to pot, not just on the
00:08:17.740
domestic front, but notably on foreign policy as well, because America's enemies look at him and
00:08:22.060
they say, okay, America's weak. They've got no one running the show. And so we're going to,
00:08:26.200
we're going to do what we want to do. And you see Russia expanding now into Ukraine.
00:08:30.780
Russia's war in Ukraine has now prompted Julian Lennon. Julian Lennon is the first son of John
00:08:38.080
Lennon to, to break a rule that he had made for himself. Julian Lennon said many years ago that he
00:08:44.640
would never perform the song Imagine in public out of respect to his father. He said the only time he
00:08:51.860
would ever perform Imagine in public was if the world were ending. And now Julian believes that
00:08:56.880
the world is ending. And so as a part of a solidarity event for Ukraine, Julian Lennon
00:09:02.980
performed Imagine, which really made me wonder, hasn't Ukraine suffered enough? Do you really have
00:09:09.600
to add insult to injury? The country is beleaguered by war. You've got the Russian army invading. And
00:09:15.060
then on top of the cherry on top is the Julian Lennon has to sing maybe the single stupidest song
00:09:20.520
ever written that, that is so ironic actually, the way that he's, he's doing it because the song,
00:09:28.680
the song is as pro Russia as it could be. The song is as anti-Ukraine as you could get. I have,
00:09:34.680
I have the lyrics here. We all know it's a kind of communist anthem. I'd imagine there's no heaven.
00:09:41.320
It's easy if you try. No hell below us, above us, only sky. Imagine all the people living for today.
00:09:46.960
That's what people in war-torn countries want to hear. People whose families have just been
00:09:51.700
slaughtered by an invading army. They want to say, there's no heaven. You're never going to see them
00:09:55.840
again. They're turning to worm food. Any hope you might have, that's gone. Imagine there's no countries.
00:10:00.420
It isn't hard to do. Yeah, Putin's imagining there's no countries. That's why he's rolling his tanks
00:10:04.120
into Ukraine right now. The Ukrainians are, are praying that there will be countries,
00:10:08.520
that people will respect borders. And this isn't the first time Russia's invaded Ukraine.
00:10:14.440
Don't forget, when this, when this song was written, Russia was dominating Ukraine through
0.97
00:10:18.160
the Soviet empire after it gobbled up a lot of other countries. Nothing to kill or die for,
00:10:22.760
and no religion too. Yeah, there's no religion too. You've got Ukrainian Catholics praying for a
1.00
00:10:28.040
peaceful end to this. And then you've got a former KGB agent from the most officially atheistic
00:10:32.820
regime in the history of the world, rolling the tanks in. But imagine, imagine all that.
00:10:37.620
Living life in peace. That's not usually what happens when we've got those kinds of regimes.
00:10:41.700
You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us and the world
00:10:45.320
will be as one. What are we going to be as one under what? Under what kind of government?
00:10:49.460
Under this atheist communist government. And when I say communist government, I mean that
00:10:54.460
specifically. Because verse three is, imagine no possessions. I wonder if you can.
00:10:59.280
Again, no need for greed or hunger, a brotherhood of man. Putin's imagining no possessions. No,
00:11:04.880
Ukrainians, you don't have the right to possess your country. The Soviet Union,
1.00
00:11:07.940
in which Putin was steeped and raised, they imagined no possessions. They took possessions
00:11:11.960
away from people. They nationalized everything. They stole those goods. And rather than having
00:11:17.540
wealth and prosperity and a brotherhood of man, what did that result in? Poverty and misery for
00:11:22.320
everyone. Imagine all the people sharing all the world. Well, everyone gets to share,
00:11:27.260
but equally. But some people get to share more equally than others. You may say I'm a dreamer,
00:11:31.600
but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us. The world will live as one. I am so sorry
00:11:35.220
to the Ukrainian people that while they've got this open wound from Russia invading,
00:11:42.180
this misguided hippie has rubbed salt in that wound by playing this awful song, which lyrically,
00:11:48.520
ideologically is just so terrible, exactly the wrong message. As is often the case, the people who sing
00:11:54.620
this song as though it were some virtuous moral anthem are actually presenting some of the ideas
00:12:01.000
that are the least moral in the world. But it's also just unbearable to listen to it. We used to
00:12:05.640
have good hymnody in our civilization, beautiful songs and hymns and Gregorian chants and full masses.
00:12:12.900
And now we just sing hippie ditties from the 70s and 80s as though that were the most inspiring thing
00:12:18.680
in the world. Is it any wonder that people are more depressed? Now, when we want to actually focus
00:12:25.240
our hope and our effort, it's one great way to do it would be 40 days for life. Our culture screams
00:12:30.420
follow the science and then ignores the science. Nowhere is this clearer than on abortion. The science
00:12:37.300
is clear. Babies are human. Babies are alive. That's true when they're out of the womb. That's true
00:12:42.800
when they're in the womb. And it is wrong to kill them when they're in the room. This is why the pro-life
00:12:47.620
movement is winning right now, okay? We focus on the facts and the logic and the mind in the abortion
0.98
00:12:53.260
debate. We also focus on the heart. We also focus on what this means to you, okay? And that's why
00:13:00.860
our friends at 40 Days for Life have written the number two Amazon Christian bestseller, What to Say
00:13:05.360
When, the complete new guide to discussing abortion, how to change minds and convert hearts in a brave new
00:13:10.520
world. 40 Days for Life is based in Texas. It's one of the largest pro-life grassroots organizations
00:13:15.040
in the world. They've got one million volunteers in 1,000 cities holding peaceful 40-day vigils
00:13:20.320
outside of abortion facilities to save lives and help abortion workers leave their jobs. Get the book
00:13:25.940
What to Say When today. It covers the old arguments and the new ones. So get it and check out 40daysforlife.com
00:13:32.140
to help end abortion wherever you live. Speaking of world hunger, there'll be no hunger, nothing to live
0.97
00:13:40.700
or die for. Speaking of political morality, I was at Yale. What was it yesterday or two days ago? I was
00:13:49.280
at Yale and I was doing an event with Senator Cruz. We were doing a verdict event and we always do the
00:13:54.140
Q&A lines. And it was actually a wonderful event. And despite all the threats of protests and boycotts
00:14:00.080
and all sorts of things, the students in the room were terrific. About a third of the students in the
00:14:05.060
room were liberals. Even the liberal student newspaper was very nice to us about the event.
00:14:09.300
We did get one question though that was a little bit out of left field. I will let that student
00:14:13.960
present it himself. Assuming that would end global hunger, would you fillet another man?
00:14:22.860
If it would end world hunger, would you fillet another man? Really playing into stereotype over
00:14:29.920
there at Yale. They're on the sexual front, on the moral front. So the kid obviously meant this as a
00:14:36.600
joke. I think it was clear he meant this as a joke, but there actually is a straightforward answer to it.
00:14:41.740
I made a joke that I don't think landed in the moment, which is that this shows the moral idiocy
00:14:46.620
of so many liberal campuses now. Because what students are being taught, what a lot of people
00:14:53.380
believe on the lib side is something called consequentialist ethics. And consequentialist ethics,
00:14:58.940
in layman's terms, is just the idea that the ends justify the means.
00:15:02.720
That if you've got some good end in mind, that you can commit any sort of immoral stuff in the middle.
00:15:08.800
And then that's, as long as something good results in the end, then it justifies all the
00:15:13.480
immoral stuff you've done in the meantime. This is the idea that Stalin is said to have believed,
00:15:19.100
that you can't make an omelet without cracking a few eggs. Okay, yeah, we're going to have to kill
00:15:24.280
millions of people. But in the end, we're going to have utopia. And as a practical matter,
00:15:29.440
that doesn't happen. You don't actually solve world hunger by, in this young man's words,
00:15:35.840
fellating another man. But even if you could, it wouldn't justify the immoral action in the middle.
00:15:40.540
And so I made a joke about what's called deontological ethics, which is that you should
00:15:44.480
choose whether, I can't believe a joke about deontological ethics didn't land. But what that
00:15:49.460
means is that the morality of the act should be judged by the act itself, not by whatever
00:15:57.520
wonderful ends you imagine it could result in. And what's funny about this stupid question that
00:16:04.300
this kid asked is it actually does get to the moral divide on the left and the right.
00:16:09.100
And it probably the clearest moral divide, which is, should we say, for instance, that the liberation
00:16:17.940
of women, such as it is, justifies killing a baby? Men and women can't be equal unless women are
1.00
00:16:25.820
allowed to kill their babies because men can't get pregnant. And so that's a huge difference. So
00:16:29.480
if women are saddled with the perils of pregnancy and the burden of pregnancy, then they can't be equal.
00:16:35.620
So therefore, women need to abort their kids. That's the argument for legal abortion.
1.00
00:16:41.420
Ironically, you don't even get the liberation in the end. You don't even get the good ends.
00:16:47.200
But really what you get is just depression and despair and a terrible culture. But even if you
00:16:51.580
could get the good ends, it wouldn't justify that. And then media, not just media, but a number of
00:16:57.600
places in the liberal media decided to make fun of me for saying that I would not fallate a man
00:17:02.840
to end world hunger. They said, Knowles went on to accuse the student of attempting to justify
00:17:08.580
flagrantly immoral behavior to achieve a good end, adding, I tell you, my friend, the ends do not
00:17:12.820
justify the means. Absolutely, absolutely not. The host did not expand on why he believes performing
00:17:18.420
fellatio is flagrantly immoral. So they're making fun of me. Media is mocking me, a married Catholic man,
00:17:29.180
for refusing to perform fellatio. Can you imagine what kind of upside down world we are in? Humor must
00:17:38.940
be dead. Irony must be dead. Mediaite cannot understand, cannot possibly imagine why a married
0.99
00:17:46.880
Catholic man might object to performing fellatio. And I think they're sincere. They're trying to mock
1.00
00:17:53.360
me here, but I don't think they're being ironic in their line. I think they actually have no idea
00:17:58.620
why someone might object to this. The act itself, which, you know, no, don't do it. Or the idea that
00:18:06.780
that that act would be justified to solve world hunger. No, we need, something has gone seriously
00:18:14.320
wrong. And we talk about how sexual education is really, really bad these days. This is why we have
0.80
00:18:20.880
anti-grooming laws now in Florida and other states, soon to see. Clearly, this has been going on for a
00:18:27.180
lot longer. Mediaite, big grief. Read a book about morality. Read up on your catechism or something.
00:18:32.360
Goodness gracious. You actually saw this similar kind of confusion in the most important national news
00:18:40.800
story. That would be the saga of Will and Jada Smith. After the slap heard around the world,
00:18:46.320
there was a video that came out of Jada Smith humiliating her husband again.
00:18:52.700
So, Will, you know Astaire Perel is coming to the table. She's going to be at the red table.
00:19:00.000
Would you say she has been instrumental in you and I redefining our relationship?
00:19:05.680
I would say don't just start filming me without asking me if you could film me.
00:19:11.860
Astaire, come help us again, please. I'm still dealing with foolishness.
00:19:16.540
Don't. No, no, she, yeah, because she, don't just.
0.98
00:19:19.680
Would you say that she helped us heal the hurts that we caused between one another?
00:19:25.060
My social media presence is my bread and butter, okay? So you can't just use me for social media
00:19:30.800
and not, you know, don't just start rolling. I'm standing in my house. Don't just start rolling.
00:19:36.340
Please watch Astaire at the red table because she's helped us a lot. Can't you tell?
00:19:44.560
A lot of people were responding to this and saying, Will, blink three times if you're being
00:19:48.940
held captive. Poor Will. This is obviously abusive behavior, but I can't join the pity party for Will
00:19:54.720
Smith. Will, husband your wife. Husband is a noun and it's a verb too. Have some spine,
00:20:04.820
have some leadership here. If your wife is filming you against your will, you, a movie star whose
00:20:12.600
brand is really important, whose public image is really important, then say no, no more phone,
00:20:17.640
honey. Sorry, you don't get the phone anymore because you are abusing this and me and our marriage
1.00
00:20:23.220
and this is really, really bad. And so no, you don't, no, no more Twitter today, Jada. Sorry.
00:20:29.660
You're not, I don't think you're allowed to say this anymore because this is very patriarchal and
00:20:33.900
old-fashioned and terrible. What's the alternative? What's, before the liberals criticize me,
00:20:40.160
before Media Matters cuts this clip, they're probably already doing it because I had the
00:20:43.920
audacity to say that Will Smith should lead his household and Jada Smith should, should maybe put
00:20:48.580
down the phone and listen. What's the alternative? Do you think the Will Smith, the current marriage
00:20:54.880
is that's the better option? That, that this wife is publicly humiliating and cuckolding her husband
1.00
00:21:03.640
all the time and the guy is so broken down about this that he has a, he has a nervous breakdown at
00:21:08.400
the Oscars and slaps Will, Chris Rock rather, across the face and still seems cowed and, and, and timid
00:21:15.420
and is that, that's the option? And you've got all sort of disorder in your family? Or maybe Will
00:21:22.520
stands up and says, no, you can't, no, you're, no, Jada, you're not allowed to sleep with other
00:21:26.320
people. No, Jada, you're not allowed to publicly humiliate me by talking about sleeping with other
00:21:31.960
people on air. No, you're not allowed to just use me to promote your own stupid show that nobody is
00:21:37.460
watching. The only reason we ever hear about is because she pulls stunts like this. No, no more.
1.00
00:21:43.680
You're, I'm head of this household and I'm going to be the knuckle dragging troglodyte patriarch to say,
00:21:49.680
stop cuckolding me on television. Stop it. What's the alternative? Give me a better alternative and
00:21:56.180
I'm willing to hear it. Feminists, liberals, progressives. But until I hear it, I, I'm going
00:22:02.340
to stick with the old fashioned idea. Jada on this stupid show that we only ever hear about because of
1.00
00:22:07.340
these exact kinds of stunts. She just came out and, and explained her theory of men and women and
00:22:13.560
feminism in the creepiest way. And actually in a way that totally proves the conservatives right on
1.00
00:22:18.100
these anti-grooming laws, Jada Smith says that she was taught to, uh, to pleasure herself, sex with
1.00
00:22:24.940
someone you love as Woody Allen called it, went by her own grandmother when she was nine years old.
00:22:31.460
And the creepiest part I think is the reasoning behind it.
00:22:36.220
My grandmother taught me about self-pleasuring because she wanted me to know that that pleasure
0.82
00:22:43.760
was from me. Exactly. She didn't want me to fall into the hands of a man. And if he gave me pleasure
00:22:49.780
to think that that was him and she taught me at nine. So creepy. And this is what Jada Smith is
00:22:57.640
teaching her kids. So this is going on and on that this anti-male hatred, this woman and her grandmother,
00:23:07.720
I guess, hated men so much that they wanted to divorce even sexual pleasure from the other sex.
0.99
00:23:16.280
The, the clearest example of where you are supposed to take pleasure in the other sex in men, or if
00:23:24.960
you're a man in women to take even that away because I don't need a man because a woman needs a man like
1.00
00:23:29.680
a fish needs a bicycle. I guess that's the logical conclusion of feminism. I actually, I, I don't think
1.00
00:23:35.320
that Jada or her grandmother have gone off the rails if they're beginning from their crazy, flawed
00:23:41.900
feminist premises, but the premises are nuts. They're wrong. They're going to lead to misery.
1.00
00:23:47.300
They're going to lead to bad marriages and bad societies. So fine, liberals, feminists, you don't
1.00
00:23:52.920
like my traditional view of things. What's the alter? Do you really think that that's any better?
00:23:58.200
A grandma teaching her nine-year-old daughter that to hate men so much that she's got to keep everything
0.93
00:24:03.480
just to herself and then that being passed on through the generation? You think that's good?
00:24:07.100
That's going to lead to an ordered marriage? What is, what's your alternative to the tried and true
00:24:12.140
tradition? Speaking of putting a little bit of faith in yourself, when you want to set up your
00:24:18.980

I think people are really waking up to this now because trancing the kids was the final straw and
00:25:54.480
we just think however we got here, we got to stop it. We got to undo whatever led us to this moment.
00:26:00.580
That's why we are discussing it all on a very special episode of Backstage Tonight. Not only will

tomorrow. Do not miss out. We'll be right back with a lot more. The feminism that Jada Smith and so many
1.00
00:26:57.220
other people are espousing has been building up for a long time and it isn't good and it's pretty
00:27:03.640
incoherent. But now I think it's become totally incoherent. I think now the contradictions
00:27:10.060
of feminism are undeniable. Cracker Jacks, the candy you eat when you're at the ballpark,
0.99
00:27:17.700
Cracker Jacks has just engaged in this feminist virtue signaling campaign to say we're actually
1.00
00:27:24.960
woke. We, the old timey baseball popcorn, we're very woke. We're no longer Cracker Jack,
00:27:33.220
Take me out to the ball game. Take me out to the crowd. Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jill.
00:27:47.100
No one can stop you if you have the will. So less rude, rude, rude for a girl's dream.
0.94
00:27:55.420
We're adding our face to the game. And we'll run through with never a doubt. It's a new ball game.
00:28:19.780
Play ball, girl power. We, we're adding our face to the game now, except we're singing this song 40
00:28:25.420
years too late because what's going on right now is not that women are being added to sporting events.
1.00
00:28:31.000
It's that women are being completely taken out of sporting events because now transgenderism is the
1.00
00:28:35.680
latest craze. And so men are going into the girl sports and they're beating all the girls because men
0.79
00:28:40.000
are physically stronger. So actually no more women. Pretty short-lived run for Cracker Jill.
0.99
00:28:45.920
Guess we're back to Cracker Jacks, aren't we? Aren't we? A little bit late, guys. You're, you were,
00:28:51.920
you're one or two woke social movements behind from what we're actually doing right now.
00:28:57.820
Even that, that first rhyme, buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jill. Nothing can stop you if you have
00:29:04.560
the will. I'm not saying that some great genius philosopher wrote this song, but it, it does sum
00:29:10.840
up the current view of the left, which is that everything in life is about your will. It's not
00:29:17.340
about reason. It's not about intellect. It's not about reality. It's that if you, if you have a
00:29:22.780
sufficient tyranny of the will that you, that you are willing to enforce on everyone else,
00:29:28.380
then nothing can stop you. And that's just not true. There, there are boys out there who have a
00:29:34.420
very strong will to be women and they're trying to force that onto everyone, but, but it's not,
0.99
00:29:40.040
it's not true. It's not real. There is a limit. Boys can't be girls to use the, the most timely
0.99
00:29:45.580
example. Girls might have the will to beat men at the swimming contest, but they can't do it.
1.00
00:29:54.140
Generally speaking, they can't do it. Occasionally, I guess there are some flukes and,
00:29:57.420
but generally speaking, it's the big hulking dude wearing the Borat suit. He's going to be the one
00:30:02.560
to beat the girls because will is not enough. We also, we have to bring our will and especially
00:30:10.240
our base desires and our appetites. We have to bring that lower will in particular into accord
00:30:15.240
with reason and reality and facts and logic. Speaking of facts and logic, Ben, Ben was out at
00:30:23.920
some university campus a couple of nights ago. And, and Ben, as usual, was asked a really dumb
00:30:30.140
question by a student in the crowd. Take a listen to the question. I'm a mathematician and a physicist
00:30:36.460
here, a double major. And I also just won the most prestigious award in the country to pursue research
00:30:41.120
at any institution I want. The National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship. So I think
00:30:45.140
I'm pretty, you know, qualified to say that most of what you're saying is based on like old data.
00:30:50.020
Um, but my question to you, and so I want to realize that, um, like for example, gender identity
00:30:56.360
disorder, that's the DSM-4, bro. We use the DSM-5 now for psychologists to be able to talk about-
00:31:01.020
I literally cited the DSM-5 in the speech and it's called gender dysphoria, which is the term
00:31:04.780
that I use throughout the speech, not gender identity disorder. You sound like a bozo, bro.
1.00
00:31:07.240
And you get no and you can't even make your wife, bro. So what's good?
0.99
00:31:10.360
So this kid comes out and he says, I'm a mathematician and a physicist. I'm a mathematician.
00:31:18.200
I've won the most prestigious award. I've won, and he's, what he's talking about is the NSF grant,
00:31:22.840
which is this government grant that, I don't know, the prestige is a little in question as far as I'm
00:31:29.000
concerned. Uh, I know some people who have won the grant and they're not, generally speaking,
00:31:33.600
they're not the brightest bulbs in the pack. But, but even, even beyond my own personal experience of
00:31:38.940
knowing people who've gotten this grant, the very fact that this dummy won it is evidence that it's
00:31:44.420
not a very prestigious award. This student, whatever he is, mathematician or physicist or
00:31:50.180
whatever he's pretending to be, he is obviously not intelligent and he's most obviously not educated.
00:31:57.680
He, he doesn't speak well. He doesn't think very well. And the best comeback he can think up to Ben
00:32:05.460
Shapiro who is contradicting his fantasies is you're a bozo bro. And you, you don't get any
00:32:11.820
girls. I'm going to clean up his language. You don't, you don't even get girls, bro. You don't
1.00
00:32:15.940
even screw girls and you, your wife doesn't find you sexually attractive. Ha ha ha ha. And this kid
1.00
00:32:22.520
is as confident as they get. And, and he's even got a credential. He's got a credential of something
00:32:28.720
that perhaps at one time had some prestige. So it is, is it any wonder that the, the country is
00:32:35.080
in such bad shape? I always go back to that Donald Rumsfeld idea that there are known knowns,
00:32:42.480
known unknowns, and unknown unknowns. Meaning there's things we know that we know. There are
00:32:47.120
things that we know that we don't know. So we lack knowledge, but we're at least aware of it.
00:32:51.180
And then the most dangerous thing is the unknown unknowns, the things that we don't know that we
00:32:55.660
don't know. Very often it is the absolute stupidest people on earth who are the most
00:33:01.800
convinced of their own genius. Socrates, on the other hand, one of the smartest people to have
00:33:07.540
ever lived is the man who said, I know that I know nothing. And that was his great genius.
00:33:12.700
St. Thomas Aquinas, another one of the most intelligent people ever to have lived had a
00:33:16.880
religious vision. He said, everything I've written is so much straw. Thomas Aquinas wrote the Summa
00:33:20.880
Theologia, the Summa of All Theological Knowledge. And he said, oh yeah, that's all just straw. I
00:33:26.540
want to burn it. I don't want to. And then you have this know nothing, this kid who has maybe two
00:33:32.160
brain cells to rub together, comes out and he says, I'm a mathematician. I'm a physicist. And that's why
00:33:37.040
boys are girls or whatever. It's sad. It's depressing. It's always fun to watch these college. I mean,
00:33:43.040
look, I go out and do them. So I've had the firsthand joy and pleasure of this as well. But it's always
00:33:48.200
fun to watch clips of someone just destroy some liberal student with facts and logic. But it's
00:33:52.840
pretty depressing too, because these kids often have fairly prestigious degrees and they sometimes
00:33:57.980
get awards for whatever reason. And they have the confidence to run the country and they're running
00:34:03.180
the country into the ground. What are they being taught? I know what they're being taught at Middleton
00:34:08.060
Cross Plains Area School District in Wisconsin. They're not learning their ABCs. They're learning their
00:34:14.880
LGBTs. Not a whole lot of reading, writing, and arithmetic at that school. No, students during
1.00
00:34:19.760
school hours are being brought into an auditorium to watch a teacher put on a drag show.
00:34:50.980
fella is dancing on stage. You're so lucky if you're listening to this right now and you're
00:34:57.180
not watching it. It's a fella who I guess is a teacher who's dancing around in a skimpy outfit
00:35:02.060
showing his derriere. And he's got some kind of stiletto heels on. And I think the saddest part
00:35:09.500
of it all is not his own confusion. It's that the students aren't into it. So he's out there
00:35:15.460
dancing his heart away. And the students, it's not even that they're booing him or heckling him.
00:35:20.980
The saddest part is that they're kind of just timidly, sadly applauding. Oh, yeah. Okay.
00:35:28.240
Good job, Mr. Smith or whatever. Good job, Mr. So-and-so. This is, of course, brought to us
00:35:34.060
by Libs of TikTok, one of the greatest Twitter accounts out there. The kids are being maleducated
00:35:41.480
here. They're being taught things that aren't true, like that boys can be girls or that it's good to
00:35:46.160
dress up in drag during school hours and dance around. But there's something even,
00:35:52.680
maybe even sadder or at least equally sad, is the wasted time. Sometimes you go back,
00:36:00.240
I'll go back and read letters that people wrote, sometimes famous people, sometimes just ordinary
00:36:05.060
people that they wrote during high school or during college. Sometimes these are published with
00:36:08.780
collections of their letters. And what strikes you is how intelligent they are, how articulate
00:36:16.340
they are, what kinds of stories and knowledge people just had offhand. You'll sometimes hear
00:36:21.940
about farmers in the 19th century just being able to quote the Bible, the King James Bible,
00:36:26.780
just being able to quote it from memory. People can't do that now. Even the really smart kids,
00:36:30.760
even the geniuses who are mathematicians and physicists who won the very, very real NSF award
00:36:37.740
grant, right? All of these, they don't know anything. Even at the prestigious universities,
00:36:41.780
they often don't know anything. And it's so sad because of all the wasted time. I forget who the
00:36:47.760
poet was. There's some modern poet who had a surprisingly good poem for modern poetry that said
00:36:53.500
that the sad thing about sin is not only how sin hurts people and destroys things and hurts ourselves
00:36:59.660
and damages our relationship with God, but that it's just such a damn waste of time.
00:37:04.760
You could be, you've got precious few moments on this earth that you could be using to build
00:37:09.280
something up, to do something productive, to pursue virtue, to make your life better and your
00:37:15.760
life better for your families. And then when we sin, we just waste time. And for what? So that we can do
00:37:20.140
some drugs or like do some weird sex thing or dance around or have to watch some, in this case,
00:37:24.100
have to watch some teacher humiliate himself on stage and pretend that this is good. It's just such
00:37:29.460
a waste of time and it's a real attack on students' education. Speaking of attacks, there was a major
00:37:36.840
physical violent attack yesterday in New York in the subway system. The information about this attack
00:37:45.240
was really muddy and really vague. The good news is that though a gunman walked into a subway car,
00:37:52.880
had gas canisters, had gas masks, had guns, apparently fired lots of rounds,
00:37:57.820
only 10 people were shot. And apparently, last time I checked the news on this before the show,
00:38:05.000
no one had died. Some people were in critical condition, but it was stable.
00:38:08.800
A couple dozen more were injured just from people trampling them or from smoke inhalation or getting
00:38:14.000
off. But this was a major attack. And there's a rule. I think maybe it was Ann Coulter who came up
00:38:20.360
with this rule. At least she's popularized it. When you do not immediately hear about a suspect's race
00:38:31.440
or sex or religion, you can know with 100% certainty that the suspect is not a straight white Christian
00:38:40.640
man. You can know that. Because if there's even a chance that the suspect who's committed the crime
00:38:48.460
is a straight white Christian man, that will be the first thing in the headlines. And frankly,
00:38:53.800
even if the guy who is the perpetrator here or the suspect isn't white, but is plausibly maybe there's
00:39:01.640
a chance he's white and a man and straight and Christian, you'll see that in the headlines.
00:39:05.860
You saw this notably in the killing of Trayvon Martin. They said, white man kills black teenager
00:39:11.120
in this neighborhood. And he wasn't a white man. George Zimmerman's a Hispanic guy.
00:39:14.960
And then the New York Times said, well, no, he's a white Hispanic guy. Looks like a Hispanic Hispanic
0.96
00:39:19.160
guy to me. They just got excited because they saw a name that seemed white. They saw he's a man.
00:39:24.220
And so they ran with the headline. And so the minute I saw, we don't know who the suspect is.
00:39:28.940
We don't know. I said, okay, well, it's not a straight white Christian man. I can know that
0.65
00:39:33.020
not because I know anything really about crime or justice. It's just because I know the media
00:39:37.260
so well. And it turns out that that's right. They finally named a person of interest,
00:39:42.580
Frank James. Still wasn't seeing a ton of information about him. And so Frank James is
00:39:48.340
a 62-year-old black guy who has expressed radical racial political views on the internet. Here's just
00:39:58.360
one clip that's going around. I had no idea with that African name that she would be married
1.00
00:40:04.380
to a white man. One of my subscribers brought that to my attention.
00:40:10.480
Yeah. Our black sister, Supreme Court justice, power to the people, is married to a white man.
1.00
00:40:18.960
I don't believe this. I don't believe this. Oh, God. Wait a minute. This is the motherf*****
00:40:26.860
right there he is. There he is. White man. Black sister. Ketanjate, motherf*****. Married to a
0.53
00:40:37.080
white man. Can you believe that? That awful woman married to a white man. This guy, I think,
0.58
00:40:43.740
is nuts. I watched some of his other videos. And generally speaking, they are not presenting
00:40:49.560
a coherent political ideology. Generally speaking, he just seems like a crazy person.
00:40:55.460
But he does express some views on his politics. And what he's expressing is clearly a black
0.97
00:41:02.580
nationalist anti-white kind of political ideology. I don't even want to say it. I don't. Do I have to?
00:41:11.080
I guess I have to say it. If the shoe were on the other foot, can you imagine what the media would
00:41:16.900
say? I have to say it just to get it out there. If there were a similarly crazy white guy who said
00:41:25.120
all sorts of crazy things, but then also said, I hate it when white guys marry black women. Isn't
1.00
00:41:29.120
that horrible? That's terrible to the white race. Every single headline would be the white supremacy is
00:41:35.160
a terrible problem in America. All the white people are so awful. And we have got too much
1.00
00:41:41.140
whiteness and we got to abolish whiteness. But you're not going to hear any of that.
0.98
00:41:45.740
The absence of that kind of talk here, which I think, frankly, might even be merited because I
00:41:50.840
assume the guy actually is just nuts. I don't know that this is the terror attack of some political
00:41:57.060
revolutionary genius. I think it's probably a pretty mentally disturbed guy who also has pretty
00:42:02.620
disturbed racial and political views. But the absolute absence of talk about this, of the black
00:42:10.420
nationalism, of the anti-white bigotry, the absence is the indictment. And it's not even the indictment
00:42:16.600
of this guy. It's the indictment of the legacy establishment liberal media.

00:43:00.500
Speaking of physical violence on racial grounds, for that matter, a YAF speaker had to just be
00:43:09.540
escorted out of a speech at the University of Buffalo by the police. The YAF chairman, this young
00:43:16.920
student called the police while cowering in the bathroom from the violent mob. The violent mob
00:43:22.400
was made up of BLM members. BLM members who showed up to the University of Buffalo and didn't just
00:43:29.980
politely ask their questions, but were threatening people, were getting very, very violent, were banging
00:43:34.060
very heavily on the doors. And the funniest part of all, you know who the speaker was?
00:43:38.400
Alan West. Alan West. Not a white supremacist. Last time I checked, Alan West, very much a black man
00:43:46.280
who has very mainstream conservative political views. He was giving a talk on how America is not
00:43:51.820
a racist country. This was too much for BLM. So they chased all these people off campus. And what
00:43:57.720
they believe, what the leftists at U Buffalo and BLM specifically believes, is that if they make enough
00:44:04.520
of these threats and they have enough people escorted out by police and they have enough
00:44:08.440
students cowering in the bathroom calling 911, that conservatives are going to stop showing up
00:44:12.600
to campus. And so, yeah, they'll get in trouble. Maybe some of them will get in trouble. Actually,
00:44:16.880
probably they won't given the left-wing leadings of the universities. But hey, they'll achieve
00:44:21.920
what they wanted, which is to kick conservatives off campus. Sort of immoral means, but they're going
00:44:27.800
to get that end that they really want. So they think it's all justified. I am scheduled to speak
00:44:32.860
at the University of Buffalo in two weeks, I believe. And I suspect they think that they're
00:44:40.160
going to get my speech shut down because, oh, we don't want to hear it. Probably the university
00:44:44.400
administration doesn't want to have to deal with this. Probably there's going to be a lot more
00:44:47.540
security costs. And they think that we're just going to say, okay, we're not going to do it.
00:44:51.580
Maybe we'll go next semester. But you know me. You know I'm not going to give in that easily.
00:44:59.100
So I will be going to University of Buffalo. I can't wait to give my talk on YAF. I think I'm
00:45:04.140
going to focus in particular on how BLM is a criminal organization and how we're not going
00:45:09.960
to put up with that and we're not going to be bullied and we're not going to back down and
00:45:14.060
we're not going to let the radical left take over our entire country because we don't want them
00:45:19.480
to chase us or threaten us with physical violence. So I'm going to go there and I think
00:45:23.400
maybe they just gave me my topic for the speech. I very much look forward to that. If you're in the
00:45:27.880
Buffalo area, I sure hope you come out. You can find out more at yaf.org, sign up, get some tickets.
00:45:33.760
It's going to be a lot of fun. It's going to be a lot of fun. They're not going to take away our fun.
00:45:37.940
I don't think so. Speaking of violence, there's some good news on the violence front, which is that
00:45:44.060
Oklahoma has just outlawed probably the most vile and evil form of violence in the entire country,
00:45:52.520
which is abortion. Oklahoma has just made it a felony to perform an abortion. The governor of
00:45:59.380
Oklahoma signed state legislation yesterday making that a felony. It's the Senate Bill 612,
00:46:05.480
which says, quote, a person shall not purposely perform or attempt to perform an abortion
00:46:09.480
except to save the life of a pregnant woman in a medical emergency. So not even an emotional
00:46:15.240
emergency or a psychological emergency where the woman might be distressed. No, we're talking about
00:46:19.360
an acute medical emergency, which practically speaking doesn't exist. There is no case in
00:46:27.320
which the abortion specifically is the cure and is the only cure for a medical threat to the life
00:46:34.360
of the mother. We can get to more of that perhaps some other time when we do a fuller abortion day.
0.99
00:46:38.660
But anyone convicted of this, of performing abortion, shall be guilty of a felony punishable by a fine
00:46:44.680
of $100,000, not to exceed $100,000, or by confinement in prison for a term not to exceed 10 years,
00:46:51.520
or by such fine and imprisonment together. This is great stuff. It'll be challenged by the courts,
00:46:58.600
but actually probably there won't be time for it to make it all the way up to the high court
00:47:01.700
because the Supreme Court is going to decide this spring whether or not to overrule Roe versus Wade
00:47:08.160
in Plain Parenthood v. Casey. That is, the Supreme Court this spring could very possibly overturn
00:47:13.160
the fictional right, constitutional right to an abortion that a bunch of robed lawyers on the
00:47:18.820
Supreme Court made up out of whole cloth in 1973. I was just talking to Senator Cruz about this a
00:47:25.200
couple days ago when we were doing our event at Yale. He is a Supreme Court litigator. He's argued
00:47:30.300
before the court he was up for a Supreme Court nomination, though he turned it down.
00:47:33.420
He knows the institution well. He clerked for the chief justice. He thinks it's quite likely
00:47:38.780
that the Supreme Court will overrule Roe versus Wade, in which case laws like this
00:47:42.540
are going to be really, really important. We should see them all around the country
00:47:45.700
starting now. Why did the governor sign this bill knowing that it very likely could be overturned
00:47:52.280
depending on what the court does with Roe? Because he said he's going to sign every piece of pro-life
00:47:55.620
legislation that comes before his desk. I love that. Great job for the governor of Oklahoma.
00:48:01.000
Keep it simple. It's not that complicated. Killing babies is really, really, really wrong.
00:48:05.300
Any law that comes before the governor that will stop that from happening or reduce the frequency
00:48:11.080
at which that happens, sign it. Love that. Speaking of healthcare before we go,
00:48:17.040
have to get to this story. A new COVID variant just dropped. Here it goes, guys. You were all waiting
00:48:23.880
around on that last COVID sub-variant. That was the COVID Omicron BA2 sub-variant. Well,
00:48:30.760
now we got the COVID Omicron XE. This is like the latest iPhone version where it's not all that
00:48:38.640
different, but they try to really hype it up. And they are really trying to hype it up. The COVID
00:48:42.260
czar is saying that we might need to get back to those public health measures to stop the spread
00:48:48.060
of the COVID XE Omicron BA LMNOP. Does that mean that extending the mask mandate in public
00:48:56.540
transportation is a live option? It's on the table? Yeah. Look, this is a CDC decision. And I think it
00:49:05.620
is absolutely on the table. And Dr. Walensky is going to make her decision based on the framework
00:49:10.940
that the CDC scientists create. And we'll make a decision collectively based on that.
00:49:15.960
Absolutely. Absolutely. It's still on the table. I hate to say I told you so. It ties right into my
00:49:22.020
favorite comment at the top of the show. I told you Fauci is not going away. The public health
00:49:26.220
COVID apparatus is not going away. They never gave up that power and they're going to bring it back when
00:49:30.740
they're in political trouble. Are they in political trouble? You better believe it. Everything is going
00:49:36.760
wrong for the ruling class in this country right now. There is no sign that any of it is going to
00:49:41.720
turn around before the midterm elections. They know it's going to be bad. They're not going to get
00:49:47.060
that drop out of the sky of good luck because they've made their own bad luck. And you can't just
00:49:52.140
unwind that out of the blue. So what can you expect? You can expect more lockdowns. What can you
00:49:58.440
expect? You can expect certainly more mail-in ballots. You can expect them to tighten up on that power
00:50:05.340
because every decision they've made to this point, this has left them their only option if they want
00:50:13.140
to try to stop the flood in November. So get ready for it, folks. Get ready for XEABCP2123 variant
00:50:22.780
or we can wield our political power and say no, enough. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles
