A judge struck down the CDC's mask mandate, and most people are happy. But not everyone, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, who has been a longtime supporter of the mask mandate. And why does he think it's a good idea? Plus, a new home security gadget from Ring.

00:00:00.000 I'm in Boston. I flew here yesterday on my first flight since that hero judge struck down the CDC's
00:00:08.440 mask mandate. And 99% of the people in the airport loved it. We were happy as a clan.
00:00:17.460 I would say, I'm just estimating here, 99% of the people in the airport were not wearing masks.
00:00:24.100 On my flight, even a flight to a liberal city, I would say 95% of the people were not wearing masks.
00:00:32.340 They were so, so happy. And the lifting of the mask mandate, the fact that it's now voluntary,
00:00:39.880 allows you to tell with 100% certainty exactly who the libs are on your flight. And there actually
00:00:45.600 are not a whole lot of them. Everyone was very, very happy, except for Dr. Fauci.
00:00:52.560 I was both surprised and disappointed because those types of things really are the purview of
00:00:57.860 the CDC. This is a public health issue. And for a court to come in, and if you look at the rationale
00:01:04.960 for that, it really is not particularly firm. And we are concerned about that, about courts getting
00:01:11.040 involved in things that are unequivocally public health decisions. I mean, this is a CDC issue.
00:01:16.760 It should not have been a court issue. So we're hoping that the inevitable increase in cases,
00:01:22.360 which we're seeing are not going to be associated with an increase in hospitalizations. So all of
00:01:28.300 these dynamic things going on at the same time, it was perfectly logical for the CDC to say,
00:01:34.260 wait a minute, we were planning on ending this mandate on a certain date. Let's wait a period of
00:01:41.760 time until May 3rd, which was a very sound public health decision.
00:01:46.300 I hope you've gotten this by now. But if you haven't, this isn't about the masks. This isn't
00:01:54.540 about whether or not you should wear the stupid masks. Dr. Fauci himself has been the most pro-mask
00:02:01.860 and anti-mask politician in the country. It's not about the masks. This is about who governs us.
00:02:09.940 Dr. Fauci believes that we should be governed by the whims and caprices of totally unaccountable
00:02:16.440 bureaucrats at the CDC. Normal people believe that we should have some say in our government. If we're
00:02:22.700 not going to be ruled by the legislature, at the very least, we could be ruled by the courts where
00:02:27.980 there's some sort of kind of almost accountability. Dr. Fauci is furious, not because people are not
00:02:36.060 muzzling themselves anymore, but because, for now at least, he's no longer running the country.
00:02:41.880 I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show.
00:02:50.260 Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment yesterday is from Astora Noble, who says,
00:02:55.940 Chris said that Democrat positions become far more popular when they lie about what their position
00:03:02.460 actually is. That's true, actually. It was very nice of Chris Hahn to come on the show yesterday.
00:03:07.300 He is a Democrat. I wanted to hear out his side for the education law in Florida and also the Disney
00:03:15.780 retaliation against the education law and then the Florida Republican retaliation against the Disney
00:03:22.060 retaliation against the education law. And what Chris said was he really loves the way Democrats have
00:03:27.220 spun this thing because while don't say gay is not an accurate representation of the law,
00:03:32.560 politically it can be useful. So he's admitting this is cynical and it's not really honest. It's
00:03:38.620 not representing what the law does, but it's politically useful. And my only argument there is
00:03:43.160 I don't think it is all that politically useful. I think the majority of Americans, majority of
00:03:48.100 Floridians, the majority of Democrats even support the Florida education law. So I just don't think it
00:03:54.040 worked. I think the credibility of the left, whether we're talking about the CDC, whether we're
00:03:57.880 talking about Fauci, whether we're talking about the weird groomers at Disney and elsewhere,
00:04:02.100 I just don't think it's there. I think it's beginning to crack. Now, when you want to make
00:04:07.740 sure that your home security is very solid, I would strongly recommend you check out Ring.

00:05:22.020 slash Knowles. The credibility, the authority of the ruling class is cracking. That's why Dr. Fauci is
00:05:31.280 so upset. He actually had the audacity to say, I only wanted two more weeks. That's what he said,
00:05:39.040 because the mask mandate on the airplanes was supposed to expire on April 18th. And then he said,
00:05:44.100 look, the CDC, I think very responsibly said that we just need two more weeks of them. Oh,
00:05:50.720 two more weeks. Huh? Where have I heard two more weeks before you jerk? I heard two weeks,
00:05:55.320 two years ago, and then you never gave up your power. So you know what? We're going to take the
00:05:58.700 power back from you. And if we can't even do it through the legislature, then we'll do it through
00:06:03.080 the courts. And this hero district judge who struck down the mask mandate. Great. That's what we're
00:06:08.620 going to come on. Just two more weeks, guys. No, people are not buying it anymore. We're not buying
00:06:16.100 that. It's only going to be two weeks. We're not buying that the masks are going to save us from
00:06:21.380 Armageddon. We're not buying what Dr. Fauci is selling. We're not buying what the liberal establishment
00:06:27.420 is selling broadly. That's why CNN plus the CNN subscription service is collapsing. It's being
00:06:34.000 shut down 21 days after it started. 21 days. That's less than two Scaramucci's. A Scaramucci
00:06:43.280 is a discrete measurement of time. It's 11 days, the length that Anthony Scaramucci lasted in the
00:06:48.320 White House. These guys didn't even make it two Scaramucci's. Warner Brothers' discovery is
00:06:54.960 reportedly, and according to lots of reports, shutting down the new CNN subscription service.
00:07:00.360 CNBC reported last week fewer than 10,000 people were using CNN plus on a daily basis.
00:07:07.880 To put that in perspective, that's, gosh, what is that? Something like 1 30th? Between 1 30th and
00:07:15.360 1 50th the number of people who watch and listen to this show every day. This show, this is a pretty
00:07:22.220 big show, but it's not even the biggest show out there on the internet. This show is getting between
00:07:27.140 30 and 50 times the viewership that CNN was getting on a daily basis. That is pathetic.
00:07:33.120 That it just, it just didn't work. And so they set this goal of having 2 million subscribers to CNN
00:07:42.500 plus within the first few years of the service's launch. Nobody's watching it. It looks like they're
00:07:49.460 going to cut their losses. Why? I could have told them that this was going to happen. No one in their
00:07:54.580 bubble could have told them this was going to happen because they have relied on brute force
00:08:00.220 to maintain whatever position they have in public discourse for not just recent years, really recent
00:08:06.220 decades. People don't make the decision actively, I'm going to go subscribe to CNN. I don't even think
00:08:13.000 they make the decision to go watch CNN. I think it's just kind of on. I think people, we joke about how
00:08:18.560 the only time people watch CNN is in the airports. Well, there's a lot of truth to that joke.
00:08:23.480 And why do people watch CNN on their TVs on the rare occasions that they do? Because it's just on
00:08:28.560 and CNN is bundled as part of cable packages and you're not going to go in. I don't even subscribe
00:08:33.560 to cable, but people who do subscribe to cable are going to go, they're not going to go in and say,
00:08:37.700 I want every channel except for CNN. They're just going to take it and it'll be on and they'll flick
00:08:41.480 through the channels and that's that. But with CNN plus, that subscription service requires you to
00:08:46.660 actively go out, put down your credit card, say, I want CNN. And no one wants CNN. I'm not even just
00:08:52.480 scoring cheap partisan points. No one actively wants it. It's just there as background noise, as a
00:08:58.760 propaganda arm for the ruling class, which increasingly is losing its credibility. All these guys are
00:09:08.040 losing their credibility. Jen Psaki, we played her on the show yesterday, spokesman for the president, was 0.85
00:09:13.140 crying, literally crying on camera over the prospect of not being able to trans the kids.
00:09:19.960 So Jen Psaki appeared on Chris Wallace's new, new soon to be old CNN plus program to discuss this law. 1.00
00:09:28.880 Chris Wallace was basically fair about the law and about the question of transgendering the kids.
00:09:34.260 And Jen Psaki doubled down on it, saying that five-year-olds and six-year-olds are questioning
00:09:40.520 their sex and ought to be affirmed in their delusions. I understand that it's, it's an 0.75
00:09:45.740 emotionally fraught issue. I understand that some of the supporters of the bill have used inflammatory
00:09:50.220 language saying that, that opponents of the bill want to sexualize children or groom children.
00:09:57.840 On the other hand, don't parents have a right to have concern? I mean, we're talking specifically here
00:10:04.720 about teaching about sex in kindergarten through third grade. I have to say as a parent,
00:10:10.160 I would have problems with that. But the law is not about teaching sex education. It's about teaching 1.00
00:10:16.000 about gender identity. And so what, what do you do if a parent or a kid, should I say a kid in one of
00:10:23.440 these elementary schools says, what about Sally? Sally has two moms or I'm not sure if I'm a girl or a boy.
00:10:31.360 I mean, these are kids who are experiencing, you know, these moments in their lives. I also think
00:10:38.060 that these are not, there's not a big record of there being either sex education or extensive gender
00:10:44.840 identity education in these schools. And this is creating a problem or a political cudgel about an
00:10:51.380 issue that I don't think exists. Jen Psaki made a really big mistake here. And she did the thing that 1.00
00:10:57.420 I keep pointing out that the libs do, except she actually did it backwards. Usually what the libs 1.00
00:11:01.760 do is say, this issue that's being addressed by the Florida education bill doesn't exist. It's not
00:11:06.600 happening at all. And it's really important that the issue does exist. And she just did it backwards 0.99
00:11:11.420 here. She said, it's so, this is so awful. This Florida education bill, this is going to really hurt
00:11:16.480 kids. You know, Sally with two mommies and you know, the five-year-old who thinks that he's actually
00:11:22.660 a girl, this is really going to hurt these kids. It's going to hurt them so bad that I'm going to
00:11:26.600 cry on camera. I'm going to literally cry tears on camera, but it's not happening. It doesn't matter.
00:11:32.160 It's not doing anything. It's addressing a problem that doesn't exist. Well, if the problem doesn't
00:11:35.680 exist, why are you crying, Jen? If the problem doesn't exist, why are you trying to tug on my heart
00:11:40.720 strings about Sally who doesn't have two mommies? Sally has a mommy and a daddy somewhere. I don't know 1.00
00:11:46.900 where the mommy and the daddy are. And I don't know what weird social experiment is messing with
00:11:51.100 Sally's head, but whatever Sally has, she doesn't have two mommies because that's not how biology 1.00
00:11:55.540 works. That's not how babies are made. That's not even a discussion that kindergartners should be
00:12:00.040 having in the classroom, how babies are made. But I guess the teacher should know the answer. Sally
00:12:05.420 doesn't have two mommies. Further, the five-year-old boy who thinks that he's a girl is not a girl.
00:12:11.740 What should the teacher say to the five-year-old boy who says that he's a girl? The teacher should say, 0.83
00:12:16.680 you're not a girl. You're a boy. The teacher should affirm his actual sex, meaning dispel the 0.96
00:12:23.620 delusions that he has. The teacher should stand up for traditional standards and mores and biology
00:12:30.660 and reality. We have got to remain in contact with reality. When you want to remain in contact

00:13:58.140 transgendering the kids makes her completely crazy. And those are the truest words that Jen Psaki has ever 1.00
00:14:03.000 said. It does make her crazy. It makes everyone who is in the thrall of this weird transgender ideology 1.00
00:14:08.520 completely insane. I'm at Boston right now. I gave a speech last night at Boston University
00:14:14.100 on this topic. The topic was, teach the ABCs, not the LGBTs. And the topic made people crazy. There were 1.00
00:14:23.280 more shenanigans at this speech I gave last night than I've seen at a campus speech in years.
00:14:30.020 First of all, the event was sold out. And then the captain of the BU police department wouldn't let
00:14:37.700 half the audience into the room. The captain of the BU police department, I don't know what his axe was
00:14:43.560 to grind. He wouldn't let our photographer into the rooms. There actually aren't any even professional
00:14:48.280 photos from the event. So you had half of the room was stuck outside and they had to stream the speech
00:14:54.480 on their phone. And then of the people who were let in, there was a planned walkout by the left-wing
00:15:01.320 lunatic kids. I had an inkling of who those kids were going to be because they were the only people
00:15:06.620 in the room with the masks. This does underscore my point, my favorite part about the airplane mask
00:15:12.420 mandate being lifted, which is just that you can now tell with 100% certainty exactly who the libs are.
00:15:17.760 So you just know, you're like, okay, I guess I'm sitting next to one lib and one normal person and
00:15:21.960 that's, okay, that's fine. I'm just going to plan out my conversation now. I'm going to plan out my flight.
00:15:26.760 So I'm looking and I see rows of these students wearing the masks and I think, okay, they're going to
00:15:32.020 stage some protest. And right when I got to the topic of the gender unicorn, the gender unicorn is this
00:15:40.340 weird assignment about a purple sexually confused unicorn that is being handed out to third graders
00:15:47.160 and second graders and kindergartners and even is being used in certain pre-K classrooms.
00:15:53.080 The gender unicorn and the gender bread man, that's another weird, creepy, sexually confused 0.84
00:15:59.480 cookie assignment. These are being used with really young kids. When I mentioned that the kids stormed up
00:16:04.280 and flipped me off and yelled and screamed and said all crazy things and waved the transgender flag and 1.00
00:16:08.280 then walked out of the room. This issue makes people crazy. And the point I drove home last night
00:16:16.960 at BU. You can watch my speech online. It's been streamed to YouTube. It's over at the YAF YouTube
00:16:23.280 channel. The point I made here is that it's not enough just to stop the weird sex lessons in the
00:16:31.140 classroom. You've got to go further. Teachers need to teach something. It's not enough just to say,
00:16:37.040 hey, don't talk about transgenderism to six-year-olds. Well, what are we going to talk about?
00:16:41.860 If you're reading a story in a kindergarten classroom and the story is about a family of
00:16:48.580 bears, mama bear, daddy bear, and baby bear, I don't think anyone would object to that, right?
00:16:55.420 Even though the lesson does have implicit lessons about sex, about family, about human nature.
00:17:01.700 Where did baby bear come from? Baby bear came from mama bear and daddy bear. And mama bear and daddy
00:17:05.380 bear live together in a marriage because that's a sort of ordinary, normal thing to do. Well,
00:17:10.540 what if the story instead being read to this kindergarten classroom were about daddy bear
00:17:15.780 and daddy bear's boyfriend and daddy bear's boyfriend's polyamorous trans billy goat, 1.00
00:17:23.780 and this were being read to five-year-olds? Would we object to that? I think we probably would.
00:17:28.360 We would. You say, no, thank you. Don't read that to my kid. Both stories make implicit claims and have
00:17:35.380 implicit lessons about sex and family and human nature, but we like the normal one and we don't
00:17:40.560 like the one with the trans billy goat. It's not just, as some Republicans are saying, it's not just
00:17:48.060 this education law in Florida bans all sexual discourse entirely. Sometimes you'll hear Republicans
00:17:54.940 say, you could call it the don't say straight bill because it doesn't discriminate between gay or
00:17:59.500 straight or trans or this. It just says all sexual conduct is out. But I just don't think that's
00:18:04.640 really what we're talking about here. I don't think that really gets to the heart of the issue.
00:18:08.840 You can't teach anything, even all the way down to an elementary school classroom. You can't teach
00:18:13.240 anything about history, literature, biology, certainly, civics. You can't teach these things
00:18:21.200 if you don't touch on topics involving men and women and human nature. Those things are just too
00:18:30.260 central. Sex and desire and family and community, those things are too central to the human condition
00:18:36.780 to avoid. And so I think we've got to stand up and say, no, we have norms. Not saying we got to be
00:18:41.520 mean to gay guys. Not saying we need to be cruel to people who are confused about their sex, but we're
00:18:47.340 allowed to have norms. There's nothing bigoted about that. The reason that Republicans don't want to
00:18:51.040 say any of these things is because we're afraid of being called a homophobe or a transphobe or a
00:18:55.240 phob-phobe or whatever nonsense slur the libs want to throw at us. But who cares? They're going to throw 1.00
00:19:00.200 slurs at you anyway. And what we're standing up for is perfectly ordinary and normal. And everybody
00:19:04.560 would have agreed with it five years ago. But now you go to a college campus and people lose their
00:19:10.320 minds talking about a really basic fact of human nature. The craziest protests I've ever had. The only
00:19:15.820 time I was physically assaulted on the campus was talking about this issue. This issue where the
00:19:22.680 Overton window, as it's sometimes called, or the standards have just completely changed to the
00:19:27.460 point that now you're not allowed to say men and women are different. If you, for instance, if you go
00:19:32.840 onto Twitter and you don't make the general claim that men and women are different, but you go in,
00:19:37.940 you're, you're retweeting Bruce Jenner. Bruce Jenner says, I'm a woman and I want to use the
00:19:43.960 women's bathroom. Let's say he's actually one of the least offenders on this transgender ideology, 0.99
00:19:48.760 but let's go with it. He's one of the most prominent ones. And he says, I want to use the
00:19:53.420 women's bathroom. And you retweet that and you say, you are not a woman, Bruce Jenner. That's a
00:19:57.660 violation of Twitter's terms of conduct. You could lose your Twitter account for that because the
00:20:03.360 Overton window has shifted. But if you retweeted some, I don't know, straight white mail and said,
00:20:08.500 you are a terrible person and you are an oppressor and you're the cause of all the evil in the world,
00:20:12.860 you won't lose your Twitter account. The latter is objectively more offensive than the former.
00:20:18.640 The latter is not true while the former is true. And yet you'll be, you'll be banned for saying the
00:20:24.000 true thing and you'll be fine for saying the false thing, which is why it's so important that we get
00:20:29.800 a hold on Twitter and Facebook and Google and the big tech platforms that control our speech and
00:20:34.640 therefore control our democracy, which is why it's important that Elon succeeds in taking over Twitter.
00:20:40.060 And there's some news on this front. Every day there's more news on Elon's hostile takeover of
00:20:47.020 Twitter and I'm here for it. I love it. It's great. Elon Musk bought over 9% of Twitter. They tried to put
00:20:54.240 him on the board. He rejected the board seat because it would have greatly limited his power. He tried to
00:20:58.920 buy up the rest of the company. The Twitter board issued a poison pill to dilute everyone's shares
00:21:05.520 of Twitter and offer every other shareholder the ability to buy shares at a steep discount,
00:21:09.940 except for Elon Musk, to basically make it prohibitive for Elon Musk to take over Twitter.
00:21:14.620 So that was it, right? Well, not quite. Elon Musk has then cryptically been tweeting about the word
00:21:19.800 tender. And the reason he's doing that is because it seems like he wants to make a tender offer where
00:21:23.860 he goes directly to the shareholders of Twitter and just buys their shares from them. And then
00:21:28.380 eventually he'll have enough to control Twitter. Can Elon actually do that? Well, we're getting
00:21:32.880 reports out right now that Elon Musk has secured $25.5 billion in financing to buy Twitter from a
00:21:41.580 group of banks led by Morgan Stanley, which includes a $12.5 billion margin loan against his Tesla shares.
00:21:52.820 So he's leveraging his other company to buy Twitter. And then Musk has said that the rest
00:21:58.440 of the money, $21 billion, will come out of his own pocket. This is being reported after Elon Musk has
00:22:04.840 filed with the SEC, the Securities and Exchange Commission. All of which is to say, I don't know
00:22:10.340 how this is going to end. I don't know what the board is going to do. I don't know what the next
00:22:13.160 episode of this saga is going to be. But what that tells me is Elon Musk is serious about it.
00:22:20.380 And he's serious about buying Twitter because Twitter is a serious problem. We joke about it.
00:22:25.760 We call it a hell site. We say we all waste too much time on it and probably we do. But Twitter
00:22:30.540 and to a greater degree, Facebook and Google control our speech, control our discourse,
00:22:38.420 control our whole political order. And Elon Musk gets it. And he knows this is no laughing matter.
00:22:43.100 He'll troll on Twitter. He'll joke when he buys 9% of the company that when he buys the rest of it,
00:22:47.600 he's going to take the W out. He said titter. Ha ha ha. But he's dead serious here. You don't spend
00:22:54.220 $40 billion on a joke. I don't think. Maybe Jeremy would. Maybe the god king of the Daily Wire would
00:23:00.320 spend $40 billion on a joke. But there has to be a serious point here. And Elon Musk is really proving
00:23:08.500 it. I've been sort of down in the dumps at how excited I am about the mask mandate being taken
00:23:17.120 away. Because I think, is this our new standard? This is it. Hey, I get to breathe fresh air.
00:23:22.960 Score one for the conservatives. That's it. That's our new standard. Or I'm a little down in the doldrums
00:23:27.740 about how happy I am over the Florida education bill. Yeah, we're going to wait until kids are nine
00:23:32.800 to indoctrinate them into transgenderism. Score one for the conservatives. That's it. That's our 0.95
00:23:37.920 new standard. That's all we can hope for. It's easy to be discouraged because the libs have so
00:23:42.320 much control over the culture and the political order. But you have to remind yourself, take the
00:23:48.980 win when you can get it. Take the win when you can get it. Get those marginal wins. Creep a little
00:23:53.920 bit further and further and further down the line of where you want your political goal to be,
00:23:58.580 which is a flourishing, good, free society. That's what the libs did for a century. It gave
00:24:04.320 them the country. Slowly, slowly, slowly. A long march through the institutions. We can take that
00:24:09.180 ground back. It's popular. We've got the common sense. The elite institutions have completely lost
00:24:14.560 their credibility. We can do it, but it's going to require patience and determination. And when we need
00:24:21.380 a little relaxation, what are we going to do? Why? We're going to go check out Allform. We're going to

00:25:41.700 I am very pro-Musk. I am pro-Elon Musk. I don't know that I agree with him on everything. It's kind of
00:25:49.320 sad that the way that we take back speech and political control in our country these days is
00:25:53.760 just to pit billionaire oligarchs off of one another. But Musk, as far as billionaire masters
00:26:00.840 of the universe go, Musk seems like one of the good guys. And the reason that I have a hunch that
00:26:05.780 he's one of the good guys is completely unrelated to Twitter or free speech or big tech or the
00:26:10.660 constitution. It's actually, it has to do with his answer to a particular hobby horse of extremely rich
00:26:19.140 powerful people. For decades, actually for centuries now, very rich and very elite people
00:26:25.980 have worried about overpopulation. You saw this in the 1970s especially. There was a book called
00:26:33.040 The Population Bomb where all the genius elite scientists who follow the science and they're so
00:26:37.380 smart and we should follow them. They said that it was inevitable that within a decade you were going
00:26:42.020 to see mass famines around the world. You should encourage abortion. You should encourage 1.00
00:26:45.720 contraception. You should coerce abortion and contraception if need be. And even then we're 1.00
00:26:50.520 still going to have mass famines. And that's just what's because we have too many people in the world.
00:26:54.760 And then what happened? It's 50 years later. The world population has doubled since that time and
00:26:59.220 people are fatter than ever. Malnutrition is at an all-time low. And Elon Musk has broken ranks with
00:27:05.500 his fellow billionaires. And he's come out and said the problem in the world today is not overpopulation.
00:27:10.160 Actually, it's underpopulation. Most people in the world are operating under the false impression
00:27:16.220 that there are too many people. This is not true. Earth could maintain a population many times at the
00:27:23.160 current level. And the birth rate has been dropping like crazy. So unfortunately, we have these ridiculous
00:27:40.960 population estimates from the UN that need to be updated because they just don't make any sense.
00:27:47.880 Really, you can just look at, say, what was the birth rate last year? How many kids were born? Multiply
00:27:55.220 that by the life expectancy. And say, okay, that's how many people will be alive in the future. And then
00:28:04.300 say, is the trend for birth rate positive or negative? It's negative. So that's the best case, 0.80
00:28:10.420 unless something changes with the birth rate.
00:28:11.960 Very simple, very correct. And most important of all, very pro-human. Elon Musk might be the one
00:28:20.840 billionaire who is pro-human. All the rest of these guys, Bill Gates in particular, has this bizarre
00:28:28.160 obsession with overpopulation and trying to discourage birth rates and to try to promote
00:28:34.440 contraception and abortion and things like that. This isn't some tinfoil hat stuff. He's promoted this
00:28:39.640 on television for decades at this point. And all the rest of the libs are too, whether it's because
00:28:45.220 of climate change, whether it's because of, I don't know, all sorts of neuroses that the libs have.
00:28:51.780 They want there to be fewer people. And it's always interesting that the people prattling on about
00:28:57.180 overpopulation never volunteer to help solve the problem. You notice that? All the people who are
00:29:03.500 worried about overpopulation want someone else's kids not to be born, want someone else's kids
00:29:09.200 to be killed through abortion. It's never them. It's never they themselves who say, you know,
00:29:14.360 okay, I'll check out. There's too many people on earth I'm at. Ronald Reagan made a similar point
00:29:18.540 on abortion. He said, I notice all the people who support abortion have already been born.
00:29:22.280 That's convenient, isn't it? So it seems like it's out of left field. But Elon Musk's answer on that
00:29:28.160 question tells me at a really basic fundamental level, this guy gets it. This guy, one, understands
00:29:35.140 reality and realizes that the earth could sustain many times the number of people that are
00:29:38.800 currently on it. But two, he likes people. He's not a misanthrope. He's not saying, we need fewer
00:29:44.620 people so that I can have more stuff and money and resources. Like all of the other rich guys. He's
00:29:49.800 saying, no, we can have more people. Have more people. We don't have enough. Come on, have kids. 1.00
00:29:53.740 Make a family. Have some kids. Let's go. The more the merrier. It's a very human perspective.
00:30:00.700 Speaking of humanity, a really horrible story coming out of Los Angeles. Homeless deaths in Los
00:30:08.660 Angeles have increased over the past five years. This is people who die because of exposure, just
00:30:14.820 die on the street. And they've increased not by a little bit, but by 200% in just five years. Nearly
00:30:23.500 two thousand homeless people died in LA County last year, according to a report by the New York
00:30:29.780 Times. Hundreds of those who did so, did so in plain sight of passers-by. People just walking on by
00:30:37.380 them. 287 of these people died on the sidewalk. Another 72 were found on the pavement. 24 of them died
00:30:46.160 in alleys. This is based on a report from the LA County coroner. Is that humane? The libs tell us
00:30:55.180 that if we do not let bums and derelicts and mentally ill people and addicts live in squalor 1.00
00:31:02.940 on the street, that we're cruel, we're anti-homeless, we're inhumane. You think this is humane? I don't
00:31:09.860 think this is humane at all. I think it's a horrible, disordered thing that we allow people
00:31:15.280 to live on the street. I remember back during Occupy Wall Street, so this was probably 10 years
00:31:19.860 ago now, Rudy Giuliani, speaking of this as a New Yorker, as someone who was the best mayor of New
00:31:25.500 York, probably in that city's history, came out and he said, this is a simple question. Don't let
00:31:31.000 people live on the street. Living on the street is a disordered act that harms the individual and
00:31:37.020 harms society. Why are the libs in LA doing this? They're doing this because it's nice. They think it's
00:31:44.760 the nice thing to do. I guess it is the nice thing to do. You don't bother the homeless people. You
00:31:49.080 let the drug addicts do what they want to do, at least what their appetites want to do, and you just
00:31:54.060 hands off, not my problem. I'm going to look away. But it's not loving. It's not loving at all.
00:32:00.900 You're letting these people live in squalor, experience great pain, be completely discarded
00:32:06.200 by society, and then die. And you're seeing their death numbers go through the roof. It would be much
00:32:13.300 more loving to force these people into homeless shelters, force these people into rehabilitation
00:32:18.100 centers, force the criminals among these people into prisons. That would be much more loving.
00:32:24.240 It's tough love, sure, but it's a much more loving thing. And that is the conservative answer.
00:32:30.680 And what the libs want to convince us that when we get back to reality and get back to basics and
00:32:36.000 enforce the fundamental, lowest bar basic functions of a society that we're cruel and inhumane? Not at
00:32:44.280 all. It is completely, completely the opposite. Speaking of reality, have you checked out Matt
00:32:50.980 Walsh's book yet, Johnny the Walrus? Matt Walsh, as you know, is one of the most cherished,
00:32:56.680 leading LGBTQ plus bestselling authors in the country. He is a scholar in the Department of Women's
00:33:02.920 Studies, a really, really noted, noted sexual theorist. So Matt has his great book. That would
00:33:11.960 be Johnny the Walrus. It sold out within 48 hours when it was released. Don't worry,
00:33:16.140 more copies are on the way. So reserve your copy of Johnny the Walrus over on Amazon. We'll be right
00:33:21.200 back with a lot more. Welcome back to the show. My favorite time of the week. We are now in the
00:33:39.240 mailbag. First question up from Brandon. Dear Michael, did you ask your wife's father for his
00:33:44.480 blessing in marriage before you proposed to her? The reason I ask is because I plan on proposing in
00:33:49.600 the near future. However, I'm not sure if I respect her liberal dad for constantly calling me every
00:33:54.340 name in the book for being a conservative. He's also pretty frustrated that I converted his daughter
00:33:58.100 to a conservative Christian and we have plans on moving from California to Texas. I know that he
00:34:02.840 wants me to ask him, but to point out the hypocrisy, he never asked his wife's father for his blessing.
00:34:08.240 I'm just curious what your thoughts are. Yes, I did ask my father-in-law's blessing. I like my father-in-law
00:34:13.140 a lot. Sounds like you don't really like your father-in-law very much, but you should ask his
00:34:16.860 blessing anyway, not because your father-in-law is some great guy, but because it's the right thing
00:34:23.260 to do. The act of asking a blessing is not so much about the people involved, the prospective groom
00:34:36.240 and the father-in-law, as it is about the act itself. It's a good, respectful act. It's the sort of thing
00:34:43.140 that good, civilized young men will do. And so whether you're doing it for him or not, whether
00:34:50.420 he plays any factor into your thoughts on doing it, you should do it for yourself and you should do it
00:34:54.240 because it's the right thing to do, young man. From George, Michael, I wanted to get your opinion on
00:35:00.940 having arguments with leftists in comment sections online. I often find myself getting into these
00:35:05.700 arguments on YouTube and the Lion's Den TikTok, in which I can probably count on one hand the number of
00:35:11.320 times the discussion has ended peacefully or in good faith. Most of the time, the other side will
00:35:15.480 start resorting to insults mid-conversation or start talking to me in a condescending manner.
00:35:20.500 My question is, is it worth participating in these arguments at all or should we just let them be?
00:35:25.160 It is not worth participating and you should just let them be. Yes, that's it. The definition of
00:35:30.640 badness is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, right? I'm not saying
00:35:35.160 you should necessarily get off of social media. I'm not even saying you should necessarily stop voicing your
00:35:39.580 opinions on social media, but there is really no reason for you to get into fights in the comment
00:35:44.040 section and these long threads. You're probably not going to convince the person you're talking to.
00:35:49.800 Now, there might be a side benefit of this, which is you might convince people who happen to be reading
00:35:56.380 the thread. This is the purpose of really big public debates. When you have a dinner party and you go out
00:36:03.040 and have drinks and cigars and you start talking to someone, you could have maybe a private debate and
00:36:07.720 potentially persuade the other person or that person could persuade you. When you're standing
00:36:11.840 on a stage having a formal debate, the point is not to persuade the other person. The point is to
00:36:15.720 score as many points as you can and persuade people in the audience. That's pretty much the same thing
00:36:21.380 that you're seeing in social media. So you might get something out or someone else might benefit
00:36:26.100 from that or you might just make your point in the comment section and then let it go and move on
00:36:32.540 with your life and you'll have more time to make more comments and do things that are more productive
00:36:36.740 and more edifying. Chris says, Michael, I was sexually assaulted in January by a woman I work
00:36:44.600 with. As much as the libs would have you believe females assaulting males is not happening and if it
00:36:49.700 is happening, it's really not that big of a deal. I didn't fear for my physical safety, but I was
00:36:54.700 deathly afraid of how it would affect my marriage. I struggled with myself over whether I should tell my
00:36:59.560 wife what happened and pray we would get through it or hide it from her out of shame. I decided the
00:37:05.840 best outcome was to be completely truthful with her about it and thank God my wife didn't blame me
00:37:10.760 at all. While my wife wanted to do some terrible things to the woman that assaulted me, we decided 1.00
00:37:15.340 I wouldn't report the assault out of fear of retaliation from the woman and possibly my job given
00:37:20.600 the hashtag me too skew and paper of women. Ironically, my wife and I have never been closer and our
00:37:26.760 emotional connection has reached a deeper level. I think I know your answer, but what is your opinion
00:37:30.980 on tragic and emotionally distressing things bringing a marriage closer together? Well, that
00:37:34.480 certainly happens. Shared experience is a really important part of marriage. I asked my grandfather
00:37:40.720 this. My grandfather and grandmother have the best marriage I've ever seen. They've been married for
00:37:44.340 about a bazillion years and I asked him years and years ago, even before I was about to propose,
00:37:50.460 I said, maybe this was on his 60th wedding anniversary, I said, what's the key to a good marriage?
00:37:55.240 And my grandfather said, patience, shared experience, and frequent absence. Because he was a captain in
00:38:04.100 the Navy and so he would deploy for long periods of time. And that was a pretty funny joke. There's
00:38:08.240 probably some truth to that actually too. But shared experience is a really important one because
00:38:12.300 you're going to grow together or grow apart. And it doesn't mean just going on fun rides at Disney
00:38:17.680 World. It doesn't mean just that great vacation to Hawaii and all the happy memories, but the sad
00:38:22.480 memories too will bring you closer together as well as they are shared experiences. As for telling your
00:38:29.560 wife, I don't know the details of this assault. Sometimes it's hard to even picture it because
00:38:34.320 you think, well, if some woman is going to come up and assault you, why don't you just push her out 1.00
00:38:37.080 of the way? You're bigger, presumably. But I don't know. I mean, obviously it does happen. So I'm not
00:38:42.680 disputing that. But in terms of your struggle with this, do I tell my wife? You know, it's kind of,
00:38:49.880 maybe you feel embarrassed about it. Maybe you feel some shame about it. Well, you certainly shouldn't
00:38:54.640 feel any shame in that unless you were participating, unless this is not just a clear-cut assault,
00:39:00.460 you didn't do anything wrong. And in order to commit a sin, it requires an act of the will.
00:39:04.560 Well, certainly to commit mortals, it requires an act of the will, and you were an unwilling
00:39:08.600 participant here. And this issue in particular is coming up because of this case between Johnny
00:39:15.620 Depp and Amber Heard, a defamation case that Johnny Depp is bringing because of this very
00:39:21.080 acrimonious breakup between the two. I have not been watching the case because I'm a grown man,
00:39:27.320 and I'm not. We got other things to do. But it is fascinating, the reports that I've been
00:39:32.360 reading about it because this woman, Amber Heard, seems to be a complete loony tune and just
00:39:37.680 extraordinarily manipulative and wicked and just a terrible person. And poor Johnny Depp does seem
00:39:43.640 generally like the victim here. So what's the answer to that? I've had people write into me say
00:39:49.320 similar points. Michael, can you please talk about woman-on-male domestic violence? And so what
00:39:56.640 do you do with that? Well, I still come down to the point that the men need to handle it.
00:40:03.740 The men need to get a hold on things. The men need to lead here. And so it's bad. You might find
00:40:09.240 yourself with a complete lunatic like Amber Heard. But still, it's kind of on you to take some control
00:40:16.260 of the situation. And if something goes wrong and if you suffer in some way, you shouldn't feel any shame
00:40:21.540 about that unless you're a willing participant. From Andrew. Hello, Nolstradamus. This may be a
00:40:28.540 triggering question to some, though I expect not to many of the Daily Wire subscribers. Do you think
00:40:34.900 there is any correlation with the current movement of gender ideology and self-identity with a diagnosed
00:40:40.640 or undiagnosed mental disorder? Throughout history, many topics that these agendas are pushing could land
00:40:46.600 someone in a mental institution. Is it possible we're seeing history repeat itself? Or simply a
00:40:51.560 minority of confused individuals now have the ability to indoctrinate impressionable minds at
00:40:55.740 the click of a button? Well, of course. I mean, if you're a man who thinks that he's a woman, then you
00:40:59.520 have a mental disorder. You have a very acute, very clear mental disorder. There's no question about
00:41:04.760 that. It's in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual. It's in the DSM, the textbook of psychiatry.
00:41:12.440 So that's certainly the case. There is a social phenomenon, too, though, because while a very small
00:41:18.780 number of people suffer from this acute psychological condition where you have confusion about your sex,
00:41:24.000 the numbers are now exploding because it's also a social phenomenon and because these delusions are
00:41:29.600 being affirmed by all of the institutions of power, whether we're talking about the White House,
00:41:33.400 whether we're talking about corporations, whether we're talking about big tech, whether we're talking
00:41:37.260 about a kindergarten teacher. Everyone is affirming this madness that a boy can become a girl. 0.80
00:41:41.460 And so there are some people who might not have severe psychiatric conditions who are just going
00:41:48.280 along with this because it's in the zeitgeist. It's blowing along. And that's a big problem.
00:41:53.380 And we need a little bit of tough love here, I think. We need to stop being so nice and be a little
00:41:58.420 bit tougher and more loving and tell people who are confused, no, you're not a woman. And even 0.88
00:42:04.760 conservatives need to get tougher on this. Conservatives try to split the baby. And so they'll say,
00:42:09.420 well, if a grown man wants to pretend that he, a grown man who is wearing a dress, who calls himself
00:42:14.540 Sally, if he wants to pretend that he's a woman, that's his right, that's totally fine. But just 0.95
00:42:18.380 don't do it to little kids. No, it's not his right. He has no right. You have no right to delusion.
00:42:23.000 And we have no obligation as a society to indulge delusion, no matter what the ruling class tells us.
00:42:28.700 No, you got, we actually have an obligation to tell him the truth and say, no, buster, you're not,
00:42:33.540 take the dress off, stop calling yourself Sally. Sally's a girl's name. You're Sam, you're a boy.
00:42:38.800 Sam's kind of an anirogenous name anyway, so there you go. And you can't use the girl's room, 0.99
00:42:43.080 and you can't swim on the Penn Girl swim team, and you gotta, you gotta come back to reality.
00:42:49.060 From Julia.
00:42:50.980 Dear Smokey Mike, is there any way you can send out the chords to together again from your original
00:42:56.720 album? I promise I won't steal anything. I'm just not good enough to figure out what chords to play,
00:43:01.720 and I can't get the song out of my head. Love Smokey Mike's number one fangirl. P.S.,
00:43:06.980 don't tell Jeremy, but I'll be on your side 100% when the band breaks up. Thank you, Julia.
00:43:10.880 You're obviously a woman of discerning taste. I can't send you the chords to together again,
00:43:18.300 because I don't remember them. I realized this the other day. I pulled out my guitar. I was playing
00:43:23.280 guitar. My son was playing around. I figured I'll play a little guitar for him. And I remembered the
00:43:27.920 guitar solos. I was kind of playing the solos. But I realized I couldn't remember exactly how
00:43:33.240 to play the song. I'm sure I could remember it and figure it out pretty quickly. But
00:43:36.540 that's what happens with music magic. You know, these things just pop out of
00:43:40.840 the God King's head. He did write that song in the shower. He literally wrote that song
00:43:45.960 standing in the shower. Pops out of the God King's head. And we sit there, you know, like
00:43:50.760 1970s National Treasure Rockstar as we play it. And it's gone, man. It's in the ether.
00:43:57.100 If you want it again, you've got to just keep clicking play on Spotify, on Apple Music, on
00:44:02.560 YouTube. From Nick. Uh-oh. Nick, we've missed Nick. Hey, Michael, me again. I'm sorry for
00:44:08.720 being MIA the past few months. I've been on a spiritual journey. So apparently there's this
00:44:14.960 thing called ayahuasca. Long story short, I fell off my king energy and was seduced by another
00:44:20.300 goddess who loves crystals. I was listening to Joe Rogan and got really into the Beatles,
00:44:25.500 none of which I'm proud of. After I lost track of Sydney in Tulum and made it back to the States,
00:44:31.180 I couldn't shake the ayahuasca trip. I felt like I saw and spoke to other beings. It was
00:44:36.100 nuts. Do you think ayahuasca and DMT make you hallucinate or finally see what's already
00:44:41.540 there? As a spiritual dude who doesn't do drugs, I figured you could tell me what's up.
00:44:46.460 This is actually a good question, Nick, and I get this from a lot of people.
00:44:49.120 They'll say, hey, man, you know, I don't, I'm not religious or nothing. I'm not one of you crazy
00:44:54.120 Christians or nothing, you know, but I do a bunch of drugs and I, and I see lots of spirits, man,
00:44:59.040 you know, and I, so I believe in that, you know, I think, oh, so you believe in demons. Okay.
00:45:03.780 You don't believe in angels and God, but you do believe in demons. Okay. I don't do drugs. I've
00:45:09.160 never been into drugs. The, the hardest drug I've ever had was a puffer two on the old Haitian 0.90
00:45:14.180 oregano, but it does not interest me because I, I don't want brain damage. And I think I rely on my
00:45:20.360 brain. I think it's working okay right now. And if I want to explore metaphysical questions like
00:45:26.380 you're talking about, I would like to do it in a way that is rigorous. That is not, that does not
00:45:31.100 involve me losing control of my rational faculties and my will like you do when you do drugs, but that
00:45:36.740 actually focuses my intellectual faculties and my, and my will on things like philosophy and theology
00:45:44.280 that applies intellectual rigor to all of these questions. So what are people seeing when they
00:45:49.240 take ayahuasca or DMT or whatever other mushrooms or, or acid, what are they seeing? Well, they could
00:45:56.600 be hallucinating. Probably that's a big part of it, but also we, there is more between heaven and
00:46:03.240 earth and is dreamt of as in our philosophies, Horatio. Also there is a spiritual reality to
00:46:08.560 the world. There are angels and there are demons and there is spiritual battle and there's good and
00:46:11.940 bad and right and wrong. And we're in that and we hit, we are bodies, but we're also souls. And so
00:46:17.260 that, that stuff is real. And when you lose control of your intellect and your will, you open
00:46:26.260 yourself up to a lot of potentially pretty nasty things. And that, that's, that's real. I mean,
00:46:31.860 we talk about spirits, you know, forget about ayahuasca for a second. Let's say you just go
00:46:35.320 out and you drink too much. You're opening yourself up by drinking a lot of spirits. You,
00:46:40.160 you are opening yourself up in a way to spirits because you're, you're no longer as in control
00:46:45.100 of your will. So long and short, Nick is don't do drugs, buddy. Go to church, open your Bible and
00:46:51.060 go to church. From Jen, Jen Nostradamus, you are the very person I believe can help me answer this
00:46:58.400 question about evangelization. It is my understanding that Catholics slash Christians 1.00
00:47:02.880 should spread the word of God, but how can one do that without being an overbearing Jesus freak to
00:47:07.960 those around them? Or how can I tell my friends of that description, how to chill? It's a good
00:47:13.620 question. Friend of mine, when he was, when he was converted, when he described this experience of,
00:47:20.940 of just being opened to the Holy Spirit, he said his first thought was, dear God, please don't make
00:47:25.880 me a Jesus freak. And he meant that's actually a good place. Please. And, and I, I had a pretty
00:47:32.560 radical reversion as well in my, after college in my early twenties, you know, it was a process that
00:47:37.180 was gradual and then sudden. So I, I really can empathize with what you're talking about here.
00:47:41.040 And everyone, when people convert or revert, I have noticed they go through a very intense period
00:47:45.900 where they're pretty weird because it's a, it's a pretty wild experience. Uh, so I, I, I suppose my
00:47:51.480 prudential judgment here though is if you want to persuade people, if you want to convert people,
00:47:58.380 you can't seem like you're just completely off your rocker. You can be joyful. You can be excited.
00:48:03.720 You can be eager to spread the joy that lives within you, but you've got to be grounded in reality
00:48:08.880 as well. Don't forget the gospels are not poetry. They're not philosophy. The gospels are news reports.
00:48:15.500 The gospels are journalism accounts. And, and the, the rest of the New Testament is letters.
00:48:21.380 It's grounded in real hard facts. That's where the hope lies. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the
00:48:27.900 Michael Knowles Show. I'll see you Monday.
