Happy Monday, everyone. I hope you had a good weekend. I certainly had a good weekend.
00:00:05.320
But I'm not sure any of us had quite so good a weekend as Joe Biden, who spent it in a tuxedo,
00:00:11.520
yucking it up with the liberal elite at the White House Correspondents Association dinner
00:00:16.600
hosted by Trevor Noah. Take a listen to one joke in particular that really cracked old Joe up.
00:00:24.920
You know, I think ever since you've come into office, things are really looking up.
00:00:27.840
You know, gas is up, rent is up, food is up, everything. No, it really has been
00:00:37.140
Oh, man, Joe sure got a kick out of that one. Leans back in his chair, claps his hands. You see,
00:00:42.340
the joke is everything's really expensive now. Isn't that funny? A lot of people are struggling
00:00:48.780
to fill up their gas tanks and heat their homes. You know, I'm sorry, it's hard to get. It's really
00:00:54.880
hard for some people to buy groceries and feed their families. That's what's, that's just so
00:01:00.460
funny. Now, it's obviously, it's not hard for Joe Biden to fill up his gas tank or to buy groceries to
00:01:07.160
feed his family. But he's got millions of dollars, which is kind of weird because he's spent his whole
00:01:11.540
career in government. But he's a multi, multimillionaire. That's why he can laugh.
00:01:15.900
Okay. And that's why the people in the room, the White House Correspondents Association,
00:01:20.040
they can laugh. They're not, no one's really hurting there. That was a relatively spicy joke
00:01:26.760
from Trevor Noah. Good on him for making it, I guess. But the rest of the night was just softballs.
00:01:33.960
Even with the inflation joke, the crowd was not laughing at Joe Biden. They were laughing with
00:01:39.380
Joe Biden. You remember that distinction? Don't worry, Sonny, they're not laughing at you,
00:01:42.760
they're laughing with you. Well, that's what, they were laughing with Joe Biden. It was just a little
00:01:46.660
good-natured ribbing between friends and teammates. Same goes for Biden. Joe Biden wasn't laughing at
00:01:53.140
the White House Correspondents. He was laughing with them too. They were all laughing with each other
00:02:00.120
because the only people they were laughing at were us. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:02:12.760
Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment Friday is from Shaw of The Shinebox, who says,
00:02:19.140
Maxine Waters tests positive for COVID. I kind of feel bad for COVID. I agree. That is sad. I'm glad,
00:02:25.660
I'm glad Maxine Waters is doing fine. We wish her a full recovery. And frankly, I guess we got to wish
00:02:31.380
the best for COVID too. I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy that they would catch Maxine Waters. That would
00:02:36.560
be absolutely terrible. We've got to look out for each other and for ourselves. When you want to do

00:03:54.920
How should Biden have reacted to that inflation joke? That's what people are going to ask. They're
00:04:00.180
going to say, oh, Michael, lighten up. Come on. What was he going to do? Yes, it's a bad look for
00:04:06.600
a joke about record high inflation, record high gas prices, record high food prices, things that
00:04:10.740
are really hurting a lot of Americans. It's a bad look for Biden to laugh at that. But what was he
00:04:16.540
going to do? There's actually an answer to this. It's true. Had Joe Biden frowned and grimaced and
00:04:24.200
gotten really angry, that wouldn't have worked. That would not have landed either. Had he pulled a
00:04:29.600
Will Smith and gone up and smacked Trevor Noah in the face? That probably wouldn't have worked
00:04:32.660
either. But likewise, he also shouldn't have just laughed and guffawed and bellied over and
00:04:37.140
clapped his hands. That wasn't a good look either. What he could have done is the sort of thing in a
00:04:42.480
roast even. Or when someone tells an off-color joke that you don't want to laugh at, you don't want to
00:04:47.720
assent to, but you don't want to seem like a stick in the mud, you kind of say, hey, come on.
00:04:52.440
You put a little bit of a smile on your face, but you say, that's too far. Hey, come on,
00:04:56.700
buddy. Put your finger out there. A younger Joe Biden would have gotten this. The reason I'm even
00:05:02.720
focusing on his reaction here is not because it shows Joe Biden to be some evil kind of genius or
00:05:07.700
any kind of genius. He's certainly never been that. It's to show you how much he's lost of his old
00:05:12.840
political instinct. Joe Biden of 20 years ago, 10 years ago, even five years ago, would never have
00:05:19.100
made that mistake. That clip of him laughing at inflation and laughing at gas prices going up and
00:05:24.860
laughing at his terrible economy. That's going to be in every Republican campaign ad from now until
00:05:29.600
November. Okay, that is going to be plastered across the airwaves. It was a political misstep.
00:05:34.960
Joe Biden, when he had his marbles, or at least some of his marbles, he wouldn't have fallen into
00:05:40.240
that trap. He would have had a much better political gut. But he's lost that. We played a clip last week on
00:05:47.920
the show. Now Joe Biden blames his senility, his obvious senility on the reemergence of a childhood
00:05:54.560
stutter. Well, look at a clip of him 5, 10, 20 years ago. He didn't have that stutter. I'm not
00:06:00.900
saying he was a Rhodes Scholar, but the fella could speak. He knew how to read a political scene. He knew
00:06:07.120
how to read a room and slap a back and smile. That was his political skill. He didn't have that. It was
00:06:12.340
really ugly. It did not look good at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Biden then gets up
00:06:18.840
and reads his jokes himself. The presidents generally do pretty well at the White House
00:06:25.020
Correspondents' Association Dinner because they hire Hollywood comedy writers to write all the jokes
00:06:29.440
for them. So Biden gets up and his sharpest joke of the night was a joke about the difference between
00:06:36.960
the modern Republican Party and the party of Ronald Reagan. I'm not worried about the midterms. I'm
00:06:43.460
not worried about them. We may end up with more partisan gridlock, but I'm confident we can work
00:06:48.920
it out during my remaining six years in the presidency. I'm not really here to roast the GOP. That's not
00:06:54.700
my style. Besides, there's nothing I can say about the GOP that Kevin McCarthy hasn't already put on
00:07:00.140
tape. At the same time, a lot of people say the Republican Party is too extreme, too divisive,
00:07:07.860
too controlled by one person. They say that's not your father's Republican Party. Ronald Reagan said,
00:07:14.460
Mr. Gorbachev, tear this wall down. Today's Republicans say, tear down Mickey Mouse's house.
00:07:21.780
And pretty soon they'll be storming Cinderella's castle, you can be sure of it.
00:07:25.300
Well, Republicans seem to support one fellow, some guy named Brandon. He's having a really good
00:07:33.660
year and I'm kind of happy for him. Delivery is not what it once was, not exactly Don Rickles up
00:07:40.380
there, but you get the joke. The joke, and he didn't even get the line right, by the way. It's
00:07:44.640
probably four of the most famous words in American history, tear down this wall.
00:07:49.660
Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall. And Biden couldn't even remember that,
00:07:53.880
though he was in the United States Senate at the time. But he says, okay, the old GOP said,
00:07:58.940
Mr. Gorbachev, tear this wall down. And the modern GOP says, tear down Cinderella's castle. Ha ha ha ha ha.
00:08:07.000
But even that joke underscores a big political weakness for Democrats right now. Yes, during the
00:08:14.800
Cold War, the conservatives were unified, focusing on problems overseas because you had a threat from
00:08:20.640
the Soviet Union. You had the threat of the Cold War. Once the Berlin Wall fell down, then there was
00:08:28.080
a Cold War that was being waged, not around the globe, but a cold cultural war that was being
00:08:32.720
waged at home. That has become hot on many occasions. Why is it that modern day Republicans
00:08:39.500
are saying, Mr. Disney, tear down Cinderella's castle? Because the Walt Disney Corporation is trying
00:08:44.640
to trans little kids. It's not just Disney that's supporting this. It's pretty much every woke
00:08:49.660
corporation and its teachers all the way down to kindergarten and preschool who are now insistent
00:08:54.980
with the support of elected Democrats, up to and including Joe Biden, up to and including all of the
00:08:59.800
White House agencies, saying it is essential healthcare. It is so important for five-year-olds
00:09:05.680
to be put on puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, potentially have their bodies mutilated if little
00:09:10.780
boys think they're little girls. That's the joke. These modern Republicans, they don't even think
00:09:16.860
we should chop off five-year-olds' genitals. Yeah. And the White House Correspondents Association,
00:09:24.800
they're all laughing because they're all pro mutilate little kids' bodies. They're all pro
00:09:29.420
put little boys on cross-sex hormones and little girls on testosterone. They're all in favor of that.
00:09:34.840
And they don't realize how completely out of touch they are with the rest of America. Not just with
00:09:42.480
Republicans, not just with conservatives, but with parents everywhere all around the country. They
00:09:47.860
don't even get it. If you want to be able to tell jokes, you need to have some connection to the
00:09:55.500
common sense. You need the things that you're saying to resonate with people. Ordinary common people,
00:10:03.520
not just whacked out liberals who think that it's a good idea to transgender five-year-olds.
00:10:09.280
And they have lost that common sense. And this is not my own wish casting. This is not my own
00:10:13.620
ideological view of things. I'm just one, looking at common sense, two, looking at tradition,
00:10:18.920
and three, looking at the poll numbers. There's a Marist poll that just came out
00:10:22.220
of voting preferences among parents of kids under 18. So when you, this is a poll of 1,300
00:10:31.700
national registered voters that just took place a couple of weeks ago, when you look at just
00:10:37.800
voters who have children under the age of 18, they are twice as likely to vote for Republicans as for
00:10:45.480
Democrats. So please, Joe, keep telling that joke. Bring it on. Because the joke ultimately is going to
00:10:53.840
be on you. It's going to be on the Democrats. It's going to be on the White House Correspondents
00:10:58.300
Association, and Biden, and big tech, and the media, and the whole thing. It's just all the liberal
00:11:03.780
blob. Now, maybe they rigged the election. I don't know. It wouldn't be the first time.
00:11:09.480
But absent some true shenanigans, absent some suspension of the ordinary election rules,
00:11:16.640
and getting rid of the poll watchers, and violating the state constitution in certain places,
00:11:21.880
absent that kind of active rigging of the election, right now, if you look at the poll numbers,
00:11:27.040
and you look at the way that the Democrats are campaigning, including in their jokes,
00:11:30.300
including all the way up to Joe Biden, the Democrats are in for a tsunami come November.

Abortion is always a really, really big issue in our politics. It's a very important issue,
00:11:55.320
of course, if you want to defend life. But it's about to become even more urgent,
00:11:59.120
because the Supreme Court is going to come out with its decision in Dobbs versus Jackson Women's
00:12:03.720
Health, and this is going to decide whether or not to overturn Roe versus Wade. You need the
00:12:07.860
arguments, okay? You need to know what this is about, how to respond to people when they bring
00:12:12.520
up this issue. Well, 40 Days for Life has the number two Amazon Christian bestseller,

00:12:50.420
Correspondents Association appearance by making a joke about the vaccine and making a joke specifically
00:12:57.440
about Fox News. For the Democrats, Fox News has been the main target for a long time. I think probably
00:13:04.860
the media landscape has changed a lot. So among conservatives, you wouldn't say, as you might
00:13:11.700
have 20 or 25 years ago, that Fox News is the only or even the main conservative outlet there in the
00:13:18.660
culture. That was true when we were a television culture. But we're now more than 20 years into the
00:13:24.200
internet age. So I think that's changed pretty significantly. Joe Biden, though, obviously is
00:13:28.920
not the most up-to-date fella on the planet. So he makes this joke about Fox News, and it was a really
00:13:32.700
ugly joke about Fox News. He said, ha, ha, ha, everyone in this room is vaxxed tonight, including and
00:13:38.860
especially those Fox News people who had to take it. I know there are questions about whether we should
00:13:44.940
gather here tonight because of COVID. Well, we're here to show the country that we're getting through
00:13:50.200
this pandemic. Plus, everyone had to prove they're fully vaccinated and boosted.
00:13:58.140
So if you're at home watching this and you're wondering how to do that, just contact your favorite
00:14:04.940
Fox News reporter. They're all here, vaccinated and boosted. All of them.
00:14:10.520
So the joke you see is that these people, these maybe conservatives, you know, Fox News actually
00:14:22.840
employs a lot of liberals too, but it's certainly the most conservative of the main TV channels.
00:14:29.020
Fox News reporters who maybe didn't want to get the vaccine had to get the vaccine because Joe Biden
00:14:36.400
made him, made them do it. And then Joe Biden's administration made them do it. And then some
00:14:41.720
corporate leaders made them do it too. Ha, ha, that's the joke. You didn't want to get this
00:14:46.200
experimental drug that doesn't do the very things that we were told by Joe Biden in particular that
00:14:51.500
they would do. Yeah, you didn't want to get that injected into you to protect you against a virus
00:14:55.820
that poses pretty much an infinitesimally small threat to you. Well, ha, ha, joke's on you.
00:15:02.200
I'm making you do it. I made you inject yourself with an experimental drug. Ha, ha, ha, ha, that's
00:15:09.060
the, that's the joke. That's the joke is I violated your rights and made you inject yourself with
00:15:17.200
something that probably isn't going to do you a whole lot of good and might do you a little bit
00:15:20.280
of harm, actually. That, that's the joke. That's called an abuse of power. How evil is that?
00:15:26.660
By the way, you know, I'm not even against vaccine mandates generally, but we're not talking about the
00:15:35.040
black death here, folks. We're not talking about a virus that poses a great risk to lots and lots
00:15:39.280
of people. And we're not talking about an ordinary vaccine. We're not talking about a vaccine that will
00:15:43.540
even do the basic thing that a vaccine is supposed to do, which is to prevent you from contracting or
00:15:47.700
transmitting a virus. The very thing that Biden, Walensky and Fauci told us the vaccine would do
00:15:51.800
before they admitted that the vaccines won't do that. How evil is that? And then to mock someone
00:15:58.040
and say, ha, ha, I made you take the shot. Ha, ha, ha. Especially ironic because just last week,
00:16:04.560
Joe Biden was waxing philosophic about how he thinks that the greatest sin imaginable is the
00:16:09.500
abuse of power. When we were talking about it on the way over, what got me involved in politics?
00:16:14.560
I got in politics, involved in politics because I think the greatest sin that anyone can commit
00:16:20.180
is the abuse of power. Whatever that power is, the power of a teacher, the power of a doctor,
00:16:27.700
the power of a leader. When someone who is relying on you or you cannot, just the abuse of power.
00:16:35.860
That's the, it's the abuse of power. Unless I'm abusing power against my political enemies,
00:16:39.700
then it's great. Then I love it. Funny too, that Biden says that the issue that got me into politics
00:16:44.380
issue, it was the abuse of power. The week before that, the one week before Joe Biden said that,
00:16:51.180
he told a different story and he said that the issue that got him into politics was the environment.
00:16:56.820
Before Joe Biden did that, he said that the issue that got him into politics was civil rights.
00:17:03.000
Before Joe Biden said that, he said the issue that got him into politics was voting rights.
00:17:06.900
Now in Joe Biden's defense, he probably doesn't remember
00:17:09.120
either what he's been saying or what issue got him into politics, but he also doesn't care.
00:17:16.420
He doesn't care. He'll just lie. He'll just say anything. He'll smack backs. He's, he is such a
00:17:22.240
fluent liar. He's such a practiced liar that I'm not sure that he can tell the difference
00:17:27.760
between lies and truth anymore. And, and now he says it's the, the abuse of power. That's the thing.
00:17:34.540
Joe Biden, who we also mentioned last week has an unexplained $5 million, more than $5 million in
00:17:42.060
his bank account. There, there is a discrepancy on his financial disclosures. He hasn't explained how
00:17:46.660
he got that money. Hunter Biden's laptop might explain how he got that money because Hunter
00:17:50.780
Biden was peddling Joe's influence overseas in Ukraine and China, among other places to get
00:17:55.800
sweetheart deals from crooked oligarchs who would then try to buy his father's influence. His father,
00:18:00.460
who was then the vice president of the United States. Now the president selling America's
00:18:04.580
interests down the river, but the worst unimaginable is the abuse of power. So he says, speaking of
00:18:11.160
power, it must be a chilly day in hell. It's a temperate day here in Nashville, Tennessee,
00:18:18.300
in many other parts of the country, but in hell, it's got to be a very chilly day because the most
00:18:24.500
prominent leftist intellectual of perhaps the last 50 years, Noam Chomsky was asked a question about
00:18:35.260
foreign relations, in particular, the war in Ukraine. And Noam Chomsky said that there was one
00:18:41.620
statesman above all the others who deserves credit and, and praise and, and, uh, well,
00:18:51.120
that we should copy this statesman and hear what he has to say and actually put it into effect.
00:18:56.520
There's Noam Chomsky as left-wing as they come saying that that statesman is Donald J. Trump.
00:19:03.000
Well, there is fortunately one statesman in the United States and Europe who has laid out a person of
00:19:14.940
a high political figure who has made a very sensible statement about how you can solve the crisis,
00:19:23.060
namely by facilitating negotiations instead of undermining them and, uh, moving towards establishing
00:19:33.540
some kind of accommodation in Europe, maybe a long, uh, in which there are no military alliances,
00:19:42.160
but just mutual accommodation. He didn't mention all of this, but he suggested something similar.
00:19:49.420
Moved towards negotiations and diplomacy instead of escalating the war, uh, tried to see if he can
00:19:56.560
bring about an accommodation, uh, which would be roughly along these lines. Uh, his name is Donald J.
00:20:07.020
Donald J. Trump. You never thought you would hear it. Noam Chomsky, a virulent critic of Trump
00:20:14.200
and of conservatives since what the 1950s, as you can hear from his voice. And if you're watching this,
00:20:19.880
as you can see, Noam Chomsky is now about 175 years old. He is father time now, but he remains
00:20:26.820
as sharp as he ever was. Chomsky is wrong about a billion things, especially when it comes to politics,
00:20:33.180
but no one's ever accused him of being dumb. He's one of the most intelligent people in the country.
00:20:43.060
even correct. It's sort of outside of the issue of Ukraine and Russia.
00:20:46.940
The reason I bring this up is to underscore something that we have seen go on for six years now,
00:20:55.580
Democrats. When I was a kid, Republicans were the party of pro-war. Democrats were the party of
00:21:03.220
anti-war. Today, that has shifted. When I was a kid, Republicans were the party of spread American
00:21:11.760
liberal imperialism around the world. Democrats were the party of no, just focus on things at home.
00:21:16.620
Today, that has shifted. When I was a kid, Republicans were the party of big mega corporations.
00:21:21.840
Democrats were the party against those big corporations and for keeping things small and at home and focused on workers.
00:21:28.860
Today, that has completely flipped. When I was a kid, Republicans were the party of outsourcing American jobs.
00:21:35.380
Democrats were the party of workers' rights. Today, that has completely flipped.
00:21:44.760
This is a real realignment. This is a real opportunity for Republicans to make big gains here.
00:21:54.000
And it hinges on one other big difference, by the way. When I was a kid, Republicans were the party of never
00:21:59.620
wielding political power. So the people elect Republicans and then Republicans don't do very much.
00:22:05.200
They would sometimes explicitly run on the slogan of, elect me and I won't do anything. Yuck, yuck, yuck.
00:22:10.220
We need the government to be so small it fits in your pocket. And Democrats were the party of a big
00:22:14.980
government. Now, we don't want small government or big government. At least I don't. We want limited
00:22:19.500
government and we want an energetic government within the legitimate bounds of that government.
00:22:24.160
Today, Republicans are starting to get this. Republicans, notably Ron DeSantis in Florida,
00:22:29.620
recognizes that when Republicans get elected, they need to do stuff. They need to go and they need to
00:22:34.280
change the curricula in the schools. They need to go and they need to wield government power
00:22:39.040
when woke corporations are undermining the will of Florida voters. They need to go in.
00:22:43.260
They need to use the government power to oppose federal mandates. They need to go in and do stuff
00:22:49.440
with the political power that people give them within legitimate boundaries. That's a big flip.
00:22:54.760
That's all good news for Republicans if they can learn what time it is and put those dirty,
00:23:01.520
rotten swamp creatures in their place who don't want to actually do something. If they actually want to
00:23:05.520
ascend and become major political players in the United States. I think we're doing it right now.
00:23:12.660
I think we can look good doing it. The way we can look good doing it is when we wear Mizzen and Maine.

magnificent. I just had my beautiful Mizzen and Maid polo out the other day. I was wearing it because
00:23:36.960
being of Italian extraction, I am known to perspire a little bit. Their clothing has all of the comfort
00:23:44.520
of athletic wear. You're not going to be just swimming in sweat as the summer comes on you,

They're machine washable, so you don't need to worry about going to the dry cleaner. And they just

00:24:35.640
point two years after a ridiculous lockdown for a virus, the origins of which are a little bit
00:24:41.500
dubious. And actually, it seems like the ruling class is not telling us everything about it.
00:24:46.120
Well, you can find out answers to all those questions and many more in my series, Fauci
00:24:50.860
Unmasked. All episodes are streaming now. The series will tell you things that you have never
00:24:56.880
heard before about this guy. They will show you clips of this guy that will go into depth,
00:25:01.500
not just on what Fauci's done for the last two years, but all the way back to the 1980s.
00:25:05.580
Things that the ruling establishment does not want you to find out about. Clips that I had played
00:25:11.340
a year ago that I had seen that I couldn't even find when I went back to search for them. That is
00:25:16.700
how much the liberals are trying to memory hole Fauci and his huge power grab. Don't let them do
00:25:22.000
it. Check out the sneak peek. He's the highest paid employee in our federal government. And beginning
00:25:28.180
in the spring of 2020, Dr. Fauci began to set national policy that affected the way that 330 million
00:25:35.380
Americans lived their lives. For goodness sakes, I'm telling you wear a mask, keep social distancing.
00:25:42.240
There's nothing political about that. But who is Anthony Fauci? People who have conspiracy theories.
00:25:49.280
Those are people that don't particularly care for me. In this short series, we will do what the
00:25:54.800
establishment media have refused to do. We will give you an unvarnished look at the career of the
00:26:00.820
most powerful politician in America, Dr. Anthony Fauci. Don't you think it's time that you step
00:26:06.300
down? I'll let someone else who has a more effective message. Actually, no.
00:26:10.380
Actually, no, I don't think I should step down. Well, we think you should. The full series is

00:27:06.500
Speaking of Russia and Ukraine, really unsettling news has come out of there in the last four or
00:27:14.360
five days. Russia is shutting off natural gas to Poland and Bulgaria. The reason that Russia is
00:27:21.740
shutting off its gas to Poland and Bulgaria is because those countries are refusing to pay for
00:27:27.200
the gas in rubles. Previously, before Joe Biden made a gigantic mess of the entire world,
00:27:33.140
previously you would pay for gas and oil and things in dollars, in the US dollar. And then
00:27:38.760
Joe Biden literally invited Russia to invade Ukraine. And then they responded too late to
00:27:44.220
that invasion by going after the Russian ruble and after the bank in Russia and after the Russian
00:27:50.060
economy. Russia retaliated by saying, okay, if you want to buy our gas now, you've got to pay for it
00:27:55.180
in rubles. And this is creating a very awkward situation for some of Russia's energy consumers
00:28:01.140
who don't want to help out Russia, but they're hooked on the gas and the oil. Why are they hooked
00:28:05.640
on the gas and oil? Well, in part, you want to talk about Russian disinformation and propaganda.
00:28:10.420
Russia has had a well-known, highly publicized disinformation campaign to support left-wing
00:28:16.800
environmentalist groups in recent decades to convince Europe and the United States and the West
00:28:22.000
not to produce their own energy so that they're more hooked on Russian energy. This is not some crazy
00:28:27.760
conspiracy theory. The Russians have been actually been pretty open about this campaign and it's
00:28:31.880
worked. And so now Russia's got Europe and the US even and the West over a barrel. And there are not
00:28:39.860
going to be a whole lot of options for Poland, for Bulgaria, for Germany perhaps, for other Western
00:28:45.080
countries who need the oil, even the United States. We get what, about 10% of our imported oil
00:28:50.660
from Russia. That's a big problem. So what do we do here? Well, this should be a reminder for those
00:28:58.960
of you who hadn't noticed it before. I'm sure you have, but unfortunately Biden and his lackeys have
00:29:03.380
not noticed it. The only real deterrent is strength. That's the only deterrent. This is really simple
00:29:12.660
stuff. Ronald Reagan put it very well. We're going to have peace through strength. And people misinterpret
00:29:18.160
that statement in all sorts of ways. They think peace through strength means we need to send the
00:29:21.840
American military all around the world to manage a global empire. That's not what peace through
00:29:25.780
strength means necessarily. Peace through strength is that we've got to go preemptively attack other
00:29:31.300
countries. No, that's not what peace through strength is. It's really basic. We need to be strong.
00:29:37.040
We're not going to pull a fast one on Vladimir Putin or on Xi Jinping or on the Ayatollah in Iran
00:29:44.740
or on anyone else. We're not going to pull a fast one and do a Jedi mind trick and convince them
00:29:50.860
that we have far greater leverage in world affairs than we actually do. The strongest way to maintain
00:30:00.860
your leverage around the world is to actually have leverage. This is always the funniest thing with
00:30:06.000
Russian misinformation and disinformation. This was the liberal argument against the Hunter Biden
00:30:12.980
laptop. They said the Hunter Biden laptop, that's Russian disinformation. Then we find out that the
00:30:18.900
laptop is totally legit and it's actually got pictures of Hunter Biden. It's got his files, his letters,
00:30:24.700
his spreadsheets. And what the liberals will still continue to argue is, well, yeah, it's all true,
00:30:29.800
but it was released as part of Russian disinformation. In other words, they're saying something that is
00:30:37.040
in fact true. The best propaganda happens to be the propaganda that's true. Do you remember a month
00:30:44.000
or two ago, we were talking about the bio labs in Ukraine? And on this show, I put my Nolstradamus hat
00:30:49.900
on, got out my crystal ball, and I said, you know, the United States is funding and in part operating
00:30:55.220
biological labs that are working on pretty dodgy biological materials from old Soviet era bioweapons
00:31:03.220
laboratories. We're working on those things in Ukraine and elsewhere in Eastern Europe.
00:31:08.080
And what happened? The liberal establishment said, this is false. This is disinformation. This isn't
00:31:12.140
true. This is crazy. This is coming from the Kremlin. You're all pro-Putin Russian puppets. I said,
00:31:17.260
no, I'm just telling the truth. This is actually happening. And finally, when it was uncovered that it
00:31:21.160
was true, the Libs said, okay, well, yeah, it's true, but it's still Kremlin propaganda. And that's
00:31:27.780
actually a good point. Yes, the most effective propaganda is the propaganda that happens to be
00:31:32.060
true. Yes, you can't just, you can't just say, well, such and such is propaganda. Ignore it,
00:31:36.860
move along, nothing to see here. No, really sophisticated propaganda operations deal with
00:31:42.660
things that are true. Okay. And so you're not going to get away. This ties back into the oil and
00:31:49.580
gas here, because you're not going to get away with illusions and mirages and little parlor tricks.
00:31:56.400
If we want the United States to be strong around the world and not have to worry necessarily about
00:32:03.260
what Russia's doing or what Iran's doing, or if we want real strength around the world,
00:32:08.320
there's one way to do it. Produce our own oil, produce our own gas, make our own energy. Then
00:32:16.140
we will have real leverage and we won't need to do this little song and dance that Biden's trying to
00:32:21.620
do. That's obviously not working anywhere. That's why Trevor Noah makes the joke. Everything
00:32:26.360
is looking up since you're president. Gas is looking up. Food is looking up. I guess it is,
00:32:30.460
right? Well, Biden promised us that everything would be improving if he were elected president.
00:32:37.420
International affairs, the economy, energy, list goes on and on. None of those things have improved
00:32:44.100
because Biden's, pretty simple, Biden's policy is a policy of weakness on all of those. Weakness at
00:32:50.480
the border. Weakness on energy, weakness on the economy, weakness on foreign affairs, and weakness
00:32:56.760
gives you really bad stuff. Speaking of problems overseas, this was a very distressing news story
00:33:03.200
for me as someone of Italian and Sicilian heritage. Little babies in Italy will no longer be given
00:33:14.860
their father's last name. The Italian constitutional court has dropped the convention for naming that
00:33:23.600
has existed in Italy and every other civilized country for a very, very long time. Namely,
00:33:29.580
when a baby is born, you know, it's true here, the baby is automatically given the father's last name.
00:33:35.720
You can change it. You can go in and ask for a special exception, but the convention is you get
00:33:40.340
your father's last name. Now, Italy's constitutional court has said that this is, quote, discriminatory
00:33:46.620
and harmful to the identity of the child and that the court said children should be given both parents'
00:33:54.440
last names in whichever order the parents decide unless the parents agree to use just one. In other
00:34:01.280
words, the babies in Italy will no longer simply have their father's last name. They will also have
00:34:08.560
their mother's father's last name. Ha ha, take that patriarchy. Yeah, you thought it was just daddy's
00:34:16.040
world? Well, now it's also daddy-in-law's world. Yeah, that's a, so just on its face, this is a very
00:34:23.380
silly change because it does nothing for feminism. It does nothing for women. It doesn't even do the
00:34:32.120
thing that it says it's going to do, namely give the baby a woman's last name because the woman got her
00:34:36.280
last name from a man. But what this is really about is an attack on the integrity of the family. People
00:34:43.420
sometimes write into the mailbag, they say, hey, Michael, I'm getting married and should, should I
00:34:47.720
take my husband's last name? Or should I ask my wife to take my last name? Previously, you wouldn't
00:34:55.180
even get this question. This would just be common sense. Of course, I'm going to take my husband's last
00:34:58.900
name. But now it's not so common. Now it's not really known whether or not you're going to do that.
00:35:02.860
Of course, you should do that. The reason you should do that is not only because of the silly
00:35:08.340
father-in-law thing, but also because you are now in a family. When you get married, you are deciding
00:35:15.020
that the groom is going to leave his family and the bride is going to leave her family and you're
00:35:19.740
going to come together and create a new family. And that new family is going to be a discreet entity.
00:35:25.320
And what God has joined, let no man separate. And that discreet entity needs to have cohesion.
00:35:32.620
It needs to have coherence. That's why you all share the name. When in the older and I think
00:35:40.540
proper convention, as I still write letters this way and I still receive letters this way,
00:35:45.040
but I know it's not as common these days. If I'm writing to John and Jane Smith, I'll write
00:35:50.520
to Mr. and Mrs. John Smith. When I receive letters, often it's to Mr. and Mrs. Michael Knowles.
00:35:58.920
Is this because my wife has lost her first name? No, sweet little Elisa still has her first name,
00:36:05.900
but we are one flesh. We are one family. We have a discreet identity now. And the reason that the
00:36:11.800
Libs are pushing for this, obviously it's not to advance feminism. It doesn't advance feminism.
00:36:16.760
All it does is break up the integrity of the family. And this is a problem for the left in
00:36:24.220
particular, because the left hates the family, but the right hasn't done a very good job defending the
00:36:28.580
family. The left says that the basic unit of society is the individual. And then we've got to
00:36:34.760
collect all the individuals together in a collective, in a socialist program or a communist program or
00:36:40.900
whatever. And that's how we're going to organize society. The right, until recently, I would say
00:36:47.960
from probably 1970 until about five or six years ago, the right would say the basic unit of society
00:36:54.400
is the individual. They would say the same damn thing that the left would say, but they, instead
00:36:58.460
of saying, then we all need to collectivize, they would say, no, we just need to remain individuals.
00:37:02.160
So you get, you get the left saying we need individuals to a collective. The right says just
00:37:06.560
remain individuals. They're two sides of the same coin. That's not really an alternative. It's a,
00:37:10.940
it's a parlor trick. It's, it's a false dichotomy. The actual alternative view of society
00:37:16.620
is that you've got the, the left and the hyper-individualist right saying the basic units
00:37:21.200
of, of politics is the individual. And then the actual conservatives would say, no, the basic unit
00:37:26.020
of politics is the family. Ben has been talking about this. He's been, he's been great on this,
00:37:31.380
especially in recent weeks, he's been talking about this, that the, the family is the
00:37:35.800
fundamental, he says the fundamental economic unit. You can go even further. It's the fundamental
00:37:39.360
political unit. So any way to drive division within the family, any way to try to redefine
00:37:44.380
the family is an attack by the left and by complicit and naive and ignorant right wingers
00:37:50.800
on the right, on conservatism. Speaking of family, more bad news. Sorry to tell you folks,
00:37:57.460
even stateside, no one's really talking about this, but it's worrying. There is now evidence from the
00:38:05.260
Supreme Court, if you're paying close attention to what the court is doing, that John Roberts,
00:38:10.140
the chief justice, will not be writing the decision in the big abortion case that's coming before the
00:38:14.880
court. Dobbs versus Jackson Women's Health is the big case that could overturn Roe versus Wade,
00:38:22.300
could overturn Planned Parenthood v. Casey, could get rid of the fictional constitutional right to an
00:38:26.720
abortion that the court found in 1973. But there is evidence that the chief justice is not going to
00:38:32.620
be writing the majority opinion there. Why? Because the chief justice wrote the opinion for
00:38:39.020
the 6-3 majority in a different case, Cummings v. Premier Rehab Keller, which was a case involving
00:38:45.140
recovery of damages under Obamacare or the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Court watchers,
00:38:53.140
the people who are paying really, really close attention here, are saying that because Roberts
00:38:57.420
already wrote two other majority opinions during the court's current term, he probably won't write
00:39:02.620
the majority for the abortion case because that means that one of the justices on the court won't
00:39:06.820
be writing any of the opinions, which would be uncommon. Now, what does all of that mean?
00:39:11.800
Some people are saying, oh, this is a good thing. This means that maybe Clarence Thomas will write the
00:39:17.240
majority if the conservatives win on that case and if Roe v. Wade is overturned and if the pro-lifers win.
00:39:25.220
I don't really see that. So if the conservatives are going to win, if the pro-lifers are going to
00:39:36.460
win, if we're going to overturn Roe v. Wade, we know that Clarence Thomas is going to vote for it.
00:39:40.660
We know that Sam Alito is going to vote for it. We think that Brett Kavanaugh is going to vote for it.
00:39:46.960
We think that Amy Coney Barrett is going to vote for it. We think that Neil Gorsuch is going to vote
00:39:52.820
for it. So there you go. That's five votes. And I would have assumed at that point that John Roberts
00:39:59.500
is going to side with the conservatives because either you're going to get a 5-4 decision or you're
00:40:03.340
going to get a 6-3 decision. If it's a 6-3 decision, then very likely it would be John Roberts who's
00:40:08.920
writing the opinion of the court. John Roberts would write the opinion of the court so that he
00:40:13.660
can give a more moderate opinion, a less expansive one, a less radical one. Otherwise, Clarence Thomas,
00:40:19.620
who's the senior most judge, is going to be writing the opinion for the conservative side.
00:40:23.740
I don't think John Roberts is going to allow Clarence Thomas to do that. So all of this is
00:40:27.560
very in the weeds. And I am reading tea leaves a little bit here. I'm not making any firm
00:40:32.100
predictions. I'm not putting on my Nolstradamus hat. But it makes me worried. If Roberts is not
00:40:38.540
writing the majority opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health, it makes me worried that maybe
00:40:43.080
they're not going to uphold the Mississippi pro-life law. Maybe they're not going to overturn Roe v. Wade.
00:40:48.240
I'm not saying anything definitively. I'm just saying I am now more worried about that case than
00:40:53.240
I was two or three weeks ago. Speaking of the deaths of innocent people,
00:41:00.840
really spooky news story just came out of CBS. Police found 150 skulls at a crime scene in Mexico.
00:41:10.100
They say, well, it's a little excessive, but given the way the cartels operate in Mexico,
00:41:14.760
I guess it's not totally surprising. Except it turns out the skulls are not recent. It's not
00:41:19.100
because these cartels were shuffling drugs and people across the border. Turns out that the skulls
00:41:24.820
were from over 1,000 years ago. The skulls were mostly of women and they were ritually decapitated
00:41:32.660
by the Native Americans who inhabited Mexico over 1,000 years ago.
00:41:39.000
Now, this is very strange because I went to school in the 1990s and 2000s. I was reliably informed
00:41:47.720
according to the liberal curricula that were prevalent at that time and remain prevalent today
00:41:52.640
that the Native Americans were all just living kumbaya like an avatar and they were all just so
00:41:59.120
peaceful and they used every part of the buffalo and everything was really great and it was just an
00:42:03.160
Edenic wonderland until the evil white man got here. Those Spanish conquistadors who brought death
00:42:08.700
and evil and destruction and violence to the new world and destroyed this paradise that was here.
00:42:13.740
Well, hold on. What do you mean they were ritually decapitating 1,000 women at a clip
00:42:19.880
before the conquist? Are you telling me that possibly those Native American tribes that the
00:42:25.740
Westerners civilized, are you telling me that they were not just living in a total
00:42:31.280
paradise and utopia? I think that might be what the news and reality is telling us.
00:42:37.920
The way that history is taught these days is so stupid. It's so contrary to reality and the people
00:42:47.460
who get short shrift are the founding fathers for sure and Christopher Columbus especially and maybe
00:42:53.300
even more than Columbus, the conquistadors. The way that the Spanish explorers who made it to Latin
00:42:59.960
America and conquered the different tribes and sort of civilizations there, they get really short shrift.
00:43:09.100
We are told that these are evil, awful people who had no business being here and no right to come in
00:43:13.480
and take over those territories and the poor beleaguered indigenous people deserve reparations
00:43:18.520
from modern day Spaniards and everyone else. The reality of the pre-Columbian, pre-Western civilizations
00:43:28.900
in the Americas is very different. The Aztecs in particular, I'll just use the Aztecs as one example,
00:43:36.460
conquered by Cortes. The Aztecs at the consecration of Tenochtitlan ritually sacrificed over 80,000 people
00:43:44.240
in the span of four days. Lots of women, lots of children ripped their beating hearts out of their
00:43:48.960
chests and then kicked their bodies down the side of the pyramids. They were, and it wasn't just the
00:43:57.320
Aztecs though, they were probably the worst of them. They were some of the most evil societies that
00:44:02.920
have ever existed on the face of the earth. The practices that they engaged in cried out to heaven
00:44:08.940
and the brave Western explorers who conquered them are some of the greatest heroes in history.
00:44:15.640
Just at one site, 1,000 years ago, you had how many skulls? 150 skulls of just of these poor
00:44:24.180
innocent women who had their heads chopped off. And that's nothing compared to what the Aztecs were
00:44:29.260
doing at Tenochtitlan and what other of these. So why is it being taught this way? It's being taught
00:44:35.740
this way because there is no moral foundation for how to view history anymore. Or there's not a
00:44:42.820
coherent moral foundation at least. If you walked into a history class in high school or even college
00:44:48.760
right now and you said, those conquistadors were great, go them. They were awesome. They should have
00:44:53.260
slaughtered every single Aztec leader that they came across. And they did slaughter a lot of them.
00:44:58.380
Good on them. You would be kicked out of class. If you said that on social media, you might be
00:45:02.980
kicked off of social media. And yet it's obviously true. It's like saying that a good cowboy walked in
00:45:10.360
and saw an evil gang raping women and killing people and committing all sorts of abuses. And
00:45:16.220
then he went out and killed the bad guys. Except on a much larger scale when we're talking about
00:45:21.120
the Aztecs and other civilizations pre-Columbus in the Americas. But we're not allowed to say that
00:45:28.060
because the Westerners had no right to be here. And we're not allowed to make any moral judgments.
00:45:31.700
We have cultural relativism. And who's to say one man's ritualistic decapitation is another man's
00:45:38.800
Sunday afternoon in the park? The only way that we are going, this has bearing for politics because
00:45:46.180
yes, it matters with regard to how we read and teach history. But it really matters for how we
00:45:52.040
live today. We have to make moral judgments. We have to make moral distinctions. We have to be able to
00:45:59.920
say, no, the thing that this culture is doing is bad and they should stop doing it. And maybe even
00:46:08.040
more importantly, we need to be able to look at our civilization, which we have been now indoctrinated
00:46:12.500
into viewing as just entirely and irredeemably evil for the past 50 years because of radicals who
00:46:20.020
hate our civilization and want to destroy it. They've convinced us to hate our own civilization. Why? It's
00:46:24.180
the greatest civilization in the history of the world. In many ways, it's the only civilization
00:46:28.620
in the history of the world, certainly to reach the heights that ours has. That's a good thing. We
00:46:33.980
need to recover our confidence. It's actually not enough to just say other people are doing things
00:46:39.200
that are wrong. What that implies is that we are doing something that is right. And if we're doing
00:46:42.780
something that is wrong, we need to be able to rectify that. But in order to enact justice in our own
00:46:48.680
country and around the world, we need to have some sense of the difference between good and bad,
00:46:54.460
right and wrong. Speaking of Latin America, the leader of Brazil just got into a little bit of
00:47:00.400
a smackdown with Leonardo DiCaprio. DiCaprio is trying to oust the president of Brazil, Bolsonaro.
00:47:08.480
DiCaprio tweets out, quote, Brazil is home to the Amazon and other ecosystems critical to climate change.
00:47:13.880
What happens there matters to us all and youth voting is key in driving change for a healthy planet.
00:47:17.840
For more on voter registration in Brazil before May 4th, visit blah, blah, blah, dot whatever.com.
00:47:23.520
Now, Bolsonaro comes out. This is the leader, Jair Bolsonaro. He says, thanks for your support,
00:47:31.220
Leo. It's really important to have every Brazilian voting in the coming elections.
00:47:34.460
Our people will decide if they want to keep our sovereignty on the Amazon or to be ruled by
00:47:38.460
crooks who serve for special interests. Good job in the revenant. A great response here. Because one,
00:47:45.880
Leonardo DiCaprio is a huge hypocrite when it comes to climate change, climate change,
00:47:49.560
quote unquote, the sun monster and everything. He flies around in private jets. He consumes a ton
00:47:53.300
more energy than most other people. And yet he has the gall and the audacity to lecture all the rest
00:47:59.200
of us. But furthermore, furthermore, it tells you something about the way politics works around the
00:48:06.280
world and even here at home. When the Brazilian people elect Bolsonaro, we are told that's a threat
00:48:13.040
to democracy. When some Hollywood elite who has absolutely no connection to Brazil flies in on his
00:48:19.920
private jet and tells the Brazilian people that what they're doing is wrong and they need to do what
00:48:24.480
he says instead, that's called pro-democracy. When the American people elect Donald Trump, that's a threat
00:48:30.540
to democracy. When a handful of deep state crooks decide to try to overturn that election for four
00:48:37.500
years, that's called pro-democracy. How is that? Because democracy, when the libs use that word,
00:48:43.900
just means liberalism, just means progressivism, leftism, whatever you want to call it, the ruling
00:48:50.440
class. And when, so when people vote for them, by definition, that's pro-democracy. When the people
00:48:57.580
vote against them, that is anti-democracy, even though it is in itself a democratic act. This is
00:49:04.680
how you can make sense of the White House Correspondents Association dinner. At the White
00:49:10.120
House Correspondents Association, one of the big jokes that Joe Biden told us, he said, this is the
00:49:13.800
first time in six years that a president's been here. It was Donald Trump wouldn't come here and
00:49:19.040
they all applauded him. Good job, you're showing up here. Right, he's showing up because that's his team.
00:49:25.100
They're all on the same team. Donald Trump didn't show up there, not because he's thin-skinned and
00:49:28.900
can't take a joke. He's taken a lot of jokes. He's a professional entertainer. He didn't show up
00:49:32.680
there because he knew that was a rigged game. It was dumb for conservatives who oppose the ruling
00:49:39.200
ideology to show up there because it's just a farce. It's a joke. They're all on the same team.
00:49:44.320
They're all on the same side. They all want exactly the same thing. They're all going to abuse their
00:49:48.360
power to cover up for one another. Why show up there? When Biden is yucking it up with the White
00:49:53.700
House Correspondents Association, it is the clearest demonstration we've had in a long time
00:49:58.560
of the real two sides in American politics. It's not Republican versus Democrat. It's not just left
00:50:04.260
versus right. It is a ruling class that enriches itself and it sconces itself in power versus the
00:50:11.740
American people who are on the other side of that. It overlaps with the left and the right. It overlaps
00:50:18.020
with Republican and Democrat. But there is a club. There is a club, folks. And when Joe Biden's yucking
00:50:23.660
it up, it's a reminder. You ain't in it. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show. See you tomorrow.
