00:00:14.860 So I've got a list of potential libs
00:00:17.740 and I want you to blind rank them 1 through 10.
00:00:20.280 On air? Right now?
00:00:21.260 Like I'm going to insult these libs? 0.71
00:00:22.520 So I'll bring you up a series of photos
00:00:24.340 and I want you to rank these 1 through 10
00:00:26.040 as you see them, okay?
00:00:27.160 Let's bring in the intense music first.
00:00:28.700 We really make this a little, a bit here.
00:00:31.000 Do I get to move them around?
00:00:33.840 No, it's set.
00:00:34.520 Once you commit, it's set.
00:00:35.520 Okay, all right.
00:00:36.000 And this is going to be the whole show.
00:00:38.160 All right, what we got?
00:00:41.640 Wow, yeah, number one.
00:00:43.400 Number one, done.
00:00:44.560 And I'm not going to regret that.
00:00:45.780 Okay, all right, we'll see.
00:00:49.140 David Hogg.
00:00:49.940 You know, the child stars rarely age well.
00:00:54.080 He's passe now.
00:00:55.480 He's not a thing.
00:00:56.500 He's 10.
00:00:57.500 Wow, my God.
00:00:58.540 He's not.
00:00:58.980 Two years ago, three, five years ago maybe.
00:01:01.560 That'll be an easier reach out for us then.
00:01:03.060 I mean, that's not going to be hard to say no to.
00:01:05.340 AOC should be pretty easy.
00:01:06.500 I don't know.
00:01:09.840 He's one of my favorite liberals, actually, in the country.
00:01:13.080 You know, legitimately, six.
00:01:18.500 Six?
00:01:18.900 All right.
00:01:19.360 Because he's not in the Senate anymore.
00:01:20.940 Yeah, but he's definitely more than David Hogg.
00:01:23.040 That's the highest anyone's thought about Mitt in so many years.
00:01:25.240 Number six for bar fight.
00:01:26.440 All right.
00:01:29.440 Right?
00:01:30.300 That's interesting.
00:01:31.160 Look, it'd be great, and it'd be cool, because I remember, you know, he was on SNL and everything.
00:01:36.740 This is another reminder, Sigtron C. Gloria Mundi.
00:01:40.840 This guy was a U.S. senator.
00:01:42.860 I bet you at least 40% of the audience could not tell you what his name is.
00:01:47.640 I agree.
00:01:48.180 Yeah.
00:01:48.400 So, he's eight.
00:01:49.860 Eight.
00:01:50.440 All right.
00:01:53.380 Oh, yeah.
00:01:54.140 He'd be fun.
00:01:55.540 Though these, by the current standards of the left, which, like, his nephew, who literally
00:02:00.040 wants the streets to soak in the blood of his enemies, us, he's, like, a moderate now.
00:02:04.540 But, yeah, a chank gets four. 1.00
00:02:10.500 Three or four.
00:02:12.200 I'm going to say four.
00:02:12.920 No!
00:02:19.200 No!
00:02:20.100 And I can't move AOC.
00:02:21.360 No, you can't.
00:02:21.980 I can't, too.
00:02:22.660 He gets two.
00:02:23.100 All right.
00:02:23.460 Jimmy.
00:02:23.920 Most anyone's laughed at Jimmy.
00:02:25.140 Jimmy.
00:02:27.180 Since the man show.
00:02:28.180 You know, this is another one where she was constructed in a laboratory by the conservative 0.91
00:02:33.300 movement to just be, like, this villainous cartoon.
00:02:36.920 But no one remembers her.
00:02:39.180 Does anyone remember the president of the global, the Galactic Federation?
00:02:43.840 Star Trek.
00:02:44.420 Star Trek.
00:02:45.360 Stacey Abrams.
00:02:46.480 No, she's, I don't know, like, eight or something.
00:02:50.200 Did I do eight already?
00:02:51.200 Yeah, you did.
00:02:51.820 So, you go nine or seven.
00:02:52.800 Seven.
00:02:53.520 All right.
00:02:54.500 Abrams.
00:02:54.900 Go to hillsdale.edu slash Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S.
00:02:58.380 There's a lot of confusion in the world today.
00:03:00.080 Have you noticed?
00:03:00.800 It's hard to find clarity and truth.
00:03:02.280 A new Hillsdale College miniseries on colonial America offers a powerful reminder that the
00:03:07.060 first Americans were searching for the same thing.
00:03:09.200 They believed faith and reason revealed God's design for the world, and that understanding
00:03:13.800 became the foundation of their bravery and their freedom.
00:03:16.580 It is a stirring look at the ideas that still hold us together today.
00:03:19.920 Hillsdale College has created a fascinating six-part documentary series where their professors
00:03:23.980 explore the religious, political, cultural, and economic ideas that shaped America's
00:03:28.200 unique character during the colonial period.
00:03:30.680 You will discover why the idea of liberty, especially religious liberty, drove settlers
00:03:34.540 to risk everything crossing the Atlantic, how early Americans built local governments
00:03:38.760 to rule and protect themselves, and why America became a place where virtue could lead
00:03:43.140 to peace and prosperity.
00:03:44.640 While most of us know about the Declaration of Independence as the birth of our nation, this
00:03:49.020 course digs deeper into something a little more fundamental.
00:03:51.660 The forging of the American character that made the revolution possible in the first
00:03:56.140 place, and why reclaiming that character matters more than ever today.
00:04:00.780 You know, this is a hobby horse of mine.
00:04:02.000 I talk about the Mayflower a lot.
00:04:03.460 Mayflower, great cigar brand.
00:04:04.680 Best part, this miniseries is completely free and easy to access.
00:04:09.040 If you want to learn more, Hillsdale has over 40 other free online courses on everything.
00:04:13.760 Right now, go to hillsdale.edu slash Knowles, K-N-A-W-L-E-S, to enroll.

00:04:23.600 slash Knowles.
00:04:26.320 I don't even know who that is.
00:04:27.980 Oh, see, this is...
00:04:29.380 Oh my God.
00:04:30.100 Who's that?
00:04:30.560 You're not modern enough, Michael.
00:04:31.800 I'm not, I'm certainly not modern enough.
00:04:33.640 No.
00:04:33.840 This is your favorite Puerto Rican cross-dressing musician.
00:04:37.000 I thought he was buffer than that.
00:04:38.820 No.
00:04:39.180 I saw him on SNL, I saw that clip.
00:04:41.400 Oh, that's good.
00:04:42.700 So we already did one and two.
00:04:44.340 Mm-hmm.
00:04:45.600 Did we do three?
00:04:46.680 No.
00:04:46.880 Well, the problem with that is he's going to be speaking that, you know, pagan dialect 1.00
00:04:52.620 or whatever.
00:04:53.340 So I don't, he gets five.
00:04:55.040 He's five.
00:04:56.040 Thank you.
00:04:58.200 Bad buddy at five, all right.
00:05:01.400 This is a Jacob special.
00:05:02.340 It's like, it's like not even a, used to be a joke is David French used to be on the
00:05:06.700 right and then he started to move a little bit.
00:05:09.420 And we used to joke, he's on the left, but now he's just like, literally is quite firmly
00:05:13.260 on the left.
00:05:13.820 But David, David has always been nice to me personally.
00:05:17.700 So I'm not, I'm going to withhold most, most jokes.
00:05:22.380 Nine.
00:05:22.960 It doesn't do.
00:05:23.820 It doesn't move.
00:05:24.420 That debate was like 2016.
00:05:26.400 It's over.
00:05:27.340 I could set that up.
00:05:28.680 You could.
00:05:29.160 Thanks.
00:05:29.500 Thank you, Jacob.
00:05:32.720 He also, those child stars, he kind of lost his luster with them, them DMs, you know, 1.00
00:05:39.900 them Snapchats.
00:05:41.340 So remember that?
00:05:42.140 I don't want to tell tales out of school, but it was weird.
00:05:45.420 Though the big shock, you know, the big shock, they, the, the DMs were to women. 0.99
00:05:50.200 Oh, did you know that?
00:05:52.020 I thought they were fake.
00:05:53.180 You know, it was like, it was obviously propaganda.
00:05:56.260 Uh, you only have, there's actually one extra one.
00:05:58.260 So it was actually through 11.
00:05:59.340 So you have 11 left and three.
00:06:01.120 Where would you put Harry Sisson?
00:06:02.100 Eight months ago, I would have said three, 11, because I bet you left a funny one for
00:06:10.700 last.
00:06:15.340 You know, though, actually, I was going to say, no, it should have been number one.
00:06:20.940 How quickly the news cycle changes.
00:06:24.180 If you marry the spirit of the age, you'll find yourself a widow in the next. 0.98
00:06:26.980 I was in this man's like one man Rockefeller Center Broadway show.
00:06:32.820 You remember, he was like angry at all of us.
00:06:34.580 Yeah.
00:06:35.140 No one cares anymore about that.
00:06:37.820 That whole thing is over, but I'd still have him on the show.
00:06:40.760 It was number three.
00:06:41.340 Number three.
00:06:41.660 That's a pretty good place for it.
00:06:42.900 Yeah.
00:06:43.380 So, Michaela, now you know what we need to do for the next couple of weeks.
00:06:46.920 Here's your list of guests.
00:06:47.580 I'll reach out to AOC first.
00:06:48.880 Yeah.
00:06:49.420 Yeah.
00:06:50.260 And Jacob's in with all those libs, apparently.
00:06:52.460 You can get David French on the board.
00:06:54.520 We can start getting the next show.
00:06:55.320 I'm a professor at my university, so.
00:06:57.420 And that's weird because you're a professor.
00:06:59.340 I am a professor.
00:06:59.960 It's so strange.
00:07:00.820 We had a professor off and I won.
00:07:02.400 Yeah, you did.
