The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1946 - EASTER MIRACLE: American Airman Rescued From Iran

0:00An American airman was shot down in Iran on Good Friday. The message that he radioed out to call for his rescue was, quote, God is good. He hit out in a 7,000-foot mountain, seven being the number of divine completion, and he was rescued seven hours after the start of the rescue mission before dawn on Easter Sunday. Good Friday, he goes down Easter Sunday, he's rescued. And the atheists will still say that that is all meaningless. We will get to this amazing mission as well as to President Trump's Easter message praising Allah and the undeniable Christian Ray Conquista of the popular culture. And this very happy Easter Monday, I'm Michael Knowles, this is the Michael Knowles Show. Welcome back to the show Ice and Border Patrol have arrested and removed from America.

1:12The niece and grand niece of Iranian general Kasem Soleimani. The niece and grand niece apparently hated America, referred to America as Satan.

I'll give you the brief version of this story. Details are still coming out about this amazing rescue operation in Iran. One of the most incredible rescue missions we've ever seen in American history, if not the very most amazing. This is a plane that was shot down in Iran on Good Friday. The pilot was found immediately. He survived. He was found. But there was a weapons systems officer who was pretty seriously injured,

3:18but who was not found right away. Then the clock was ticking because the Iranians put out a $60,000 bounty on his head. $60,000 is 10 times the annual income in Iran. You had not just the IRGC and the Iranian military going after this guy, but you had locals. You had tribesmen. You had ordinary people. We're trying to get the 60 grand. So everyone trying to get this guy. The Americans trying to keep the enemy forces off this guy. He hit out in a mountain in a 7,000 foot mountain. This number seven is important because it's the number of divine completion. It takes God seven days to create the world. Seven days in a week. Seven is very significant. He's hiding out in the Zagros mountain. This climbs a 7,000 foot ridge and he's hanging there for 36 hours with just a handgun for defense. Whenever Iranians start to get within a couple of miles of where he is, apparently our drones were just zapping them, but nevertheless, that's pretty dangerous because if you keep zapping all the people

4:22around this guy, then that means the enemy forces know where the guy is, which is why the CIA had to run a diversion op. They ran a kind of like a fake rescue for this guy. They planted fake intel that he had already been rescued that he was being driven out of Iran. Then there was this daylight operation, Sunday morning, involving dozens of aircraft, MQ-9 reaper drones. They provided the protective perimeter and they get this guy out. There were no US casualties during his rescue. So according to a US military official familiar with the operation, the US Air Force had to use multiple bombs to blow up all the aircraft that abandoned at the air strip. They created an air strip just for this operation. Then blew up hundreds of millions of dollars worth of American military equipment. All they get this one guy out, this guy who goes down on Good Friday. Radio's and says God is good. Goes up 7,000 feet. Rescue operation initiated seven hours later. Easter Sunday he's rescued.

5:29And atheists will still say that's all just a coincidence. The thing you have to ask yourself. What is most interesting about this story to me is not the military prowess, though it's amazing. We have the greatest military force ever in the history of the world. That's beyond dispute. Even our enemies would admit it. What's most impressive to me is the significance. All those symbols that I just mentioned. And so the question I have to ask you is, is that really significant? Is it significant that the guy was shot down on Good Friday the day that of Christ's resurrection and rescued, sorry, the day of Christ's crucifixion and rescued Easter Sunday the day of Christ's resurrection? Is that significant? Does that mean anything? Does the fact that he radioed God is good when he was basically hopeless? Does that mean anything? Does it mean anything? What modern people, even some quasi religious people

6:29are going to say, no, not really. No, look, that's a weird coincidence, isn't it? But no, the only reason it seems like it has meaning is because we impose meaning on it. These events happen and then we read into those events, meaning really apply this to the rest of history. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, two men who kind of hated each other, but they were also kind of for their enemies. The second and third president of the United States, men of the revolution were, they died on the same day, 50 years after the revolution. They died on the 4th of July. They died on the 4th of July, 50 years after the Declaration of Independence. They died within hours of each other. Is that significant? Does that mean anything? Christ is born within the confines of the Roman Empire. He's known as the Son of God. He is born while the Son of the Divine, Caesar Augustus, is reigning on the throne. He's called the

7:32Son of the Divine because when Julius Caesar died, a comet that was flying through the air was understood to be Caesar being deified, going up to the heavens. And so Augustus was called the Son of the Divine, Philius D.V. Christ is called Philius Day, Son of God. Both are known as Prince of Peace. They inaugurate peaceful areas, the Pox Romana on Earth and the eternal peace. Is that just mere coincidence? I don't think so. Probably in your own life, you've had these little weird glimpses of what seems luminous, what seems like more than coincidence, what seems like providence. It seems like there's an order to the world. It seems like things happen for a reason. You've probably seen that. A relative dies and some special thing associated with that relative pops up. Everyone has these experiences. In fact, we all act as though the world has meaning. So I guess I might take away from this story, this amazing story that everybody's going to be

8:37talking about today, this unbelievable rescue of this pilot or of this this outweapon systems officer in Iran. If that has meaning, which it obviously does, that means that there is an intelligence that comes before our intelligence. That means that there is an order to the universe that is outside of us. That means that there is an objective truth that we should feel impelled to align ourselves with. It means that there's something more than our own will and our end desires. That is part of the miraculous part of the story is what it tells us about our own lives. Really, really magnificent stuff. Okay. Now, speaking of Iran and President Trump's operations, President Trump marked Easter by tweeting out. Do I have the tweet? Yes, here's the tweet from President Trump. Tuesday will be power plant day and bridge day all wrapped up in one in

9:43Iran. There will be nothing like it. Open the F.ing straight, you crazy bastards where you'll all be living in hell. Just watch. Praise be to Allah. President Donald J. Trump. I love it. I am wearing. I'm in Washington right now. I'm going to be at the White House Easter egg roll in a moment with my boys. Very exciting. And I'm wearing a little political artifact. This is a tie from the first Trump term. And if you can if you're looking really closely, it's a little White houses and little Twitter birds. That's the, and the tweets really define the Trump era. And this is one for the history books. There are people on the right, punitively on the right, even sincerely on the right, who have a big problem with this tweet. Trump is threatening war crimes. How could he talk about Allah on Easter? He's lost it. He's out of control. 10 years in. They still don't get it. Look at this tweet again. Tuesday will be power

10:47plant day. Meaning he's going to blow up the power plants. He's tried not to do that so far. He says, I only want to destroy the Iranian military, but I don't want to totally destroy their country because I want to give them the ability to rebuild once they either replace their regime or or align their regime closer to American interests. Then he says, look, you don't want to make a deal. Tuesday's power plant day and bridge day. I'm going to blow up all your bridges. All wrapped up in one and Iran. There's going to be nothing like it. And then in case you don't get what he's asking for, he tells you directly, open the effing. He says, he doesn't just say effing. He says the real word, but this is a family show. So we don't open the effing straight, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in hell. Just watch. Praise be to Allah, President Donald J Trump. So this tweet is three things. And it's the opposite of what everyone's saying it is. If he was saying, this isn't funny, this isn't funny. First of all, stop it. I don't care how much you hate Trump. I don't care how much you've been radicalized. It's very funny. This is very funny.

11:53Might be the funniest tweet ever sent. Even if you hate it, even if you think it's going to brown Rover 3, come on. It's hilarious. But then what they say is this is Trump acting emotionally. He's a madman. He's a tyrant drunk with power. No. Again, you could say, I don't like the tweet. I don't like the war in Iran. I don't like the threats. Now we've now ended the five weeks of war in Iran. So obviously we're in week six. That's when people are starting to get concerned. Trump said it was going to last about five weeks. Now we're in week six. They want to wrap this up. Even if you hate the war, this tweet is not reckless. It's not impetuous. Obviously, this is a discipline tweet. You know the proof that this is a discipline tweet? That's second to last line. Praise be to Allah. So it sounds like I'm going to blow this up. I'm going to blow that up. You f in dirty jerks. I'm going to blow you all up. You're going to live in hell. Praise be to Allah. The praise be to Allah is the signal that this was not written in a fit of rage. The praise be to Allah is a dry joke. He's not actually giving praise to Allah. He's mocking their religion. He's mocking even the kind

12:57of diction that you get out of Iran. Trump is in this tweet speaking their language when the Ayatollah, RIP, when the Ayatollah used to say, you know, death to America, the great Satan will go down. The little Satan will be destroyed in Israel and the great Satan will go down and destruction will rain down on the Trump is mocking that kind of diction and he's telling you he's doing that by mocking their religion, basically saying, praise be to Allah. Open the straighter. I'm going to destroy your whole country. And then finally, the last thing that this tweet is that we'll see how much it is is effective. I don't mean that the tweet is going to end the Iran war. I don't mean that the tweet is going to end the open the straighter form. It might. The reason that the tweet is effective is because you don't know if he's serious or not. That's the reason. The reason the tweet is effective is because people, including people who are putatively on his own side, think that he's totally lost it and he's going to start glassing Iran and nuking civilian centers.

14:01That's why it's effective because Trump's greatest strength in foreign policy is unpredictability. Now, what we do know this part is predictable is the five weeks Arab people are starting to get concerned, including plan trusters, including people who are not panicked. They're starting to get concerned because they don't want this war to go on for two months or three months or through the midterms or for 10 years. They want this thing to be wrapped up. I think Trump probably wants this to be wrapped up. He clearly wants out. And so the question is how is he going to do it? How is he going to get Iran to the negotiating table? He can bring people to the negotiating table and if they cross him, he can kill them and move to the next guy, he's doing that. But he wants this to move faster. And so now he starts speaking their language. The tweet may or may not work to end the war, but it. It's very funny. It's very disciplined and it's very effective as a negotiating matter. That part is beyond dispute. If you have a problem with that, man, I don't know politics just isn't for you. Okay. Speaking of tweets, Zoran Mamdani of New Yorkistan, Zoran Mamdani sent

15:08out an Easter tweet that was a lot better than his Good Friday tweet. And it tells you a lot about the big cultural news story, which is that everybody is getting baptized. Now, speaking of baptisms, I want to tell you about preborn. Go to preborn.com slash Knowles. A lot of good movements in the culture. We're seeing a return to tradition, a return to faith. But the odds are still pretty rough out there. Okay. The truth is often silenced in our culture. That silence has a cost. Right now, women facing unexpected pregnancies are bombarded with pressure and fear before they ever have a chance to pause to breathe or to hear the truth about life and hope. That is why one of the many reasons why I stand with our sponsor preborn. At every preborn network clinic, a woman is welcomed with compassion and given a free ultrasound. In that sacred moment, she sees what she's never seen before the life within her fear fades. Clarity dawns and she has offered something the abortion industry will never give, which is the hope of Jesus Christ. This same from preborn aims to share that hope in 11,000 gospel conversations across their clinics. You can make that happen. For 28 bucks,

16:12she has sponsored 1 ultrasound. When a woman sees her baby for the first time in ultrasound, it increases the chance that she chooses life 80%. Okay. Every dollar you give to preborn is going to go towards saving babies. They fundraise for their admin costs separately. This is an amazing investment. I strongly recommend you give what you can to donate the pound 250, say keyword baby. That's pound 250 keyword baby. We're going to preborn.com slash Knowles, preborn.com slash Knowles. Zora Mamdani, the Muslim Communist Mayor of New York, got in hot water on Friday. I don't even know if we have the good Friday tweet. I saw it. I was very angry about it. He tweets that he says, today, many people mark a day of sacrifice and they will, some will abstain from food, some will abstain from speaking. Is that a thing on Good Friday? You don't speak. I don't maybe for you pray. You go to church for a little bit when you talk about, I don't know. He doesn't. He didn't know. But it's a day of sacrifice. And I hated that tweet because that's not what Good Friday marks. You don't have Good Friday marks. Good Friday marks. The conquest of death

17:18on the cross by Jesus Christ who is not a generalization. He's not an idea. He's not a vague sentiment. He's a man who also happens to be God. That's what Good Friday marks. It does not mark some vague generality that Zora Mamdani can kind of ambiguously wave his hands at. It marks a real historical event. And the most significant historical event in the history of the world. The turning point of history when Christ conquers death on the cross. He's resurrected on the third day in accordance with the scriptures. And as the sign that he has conquered death on the cross, but the cross is the axle on which the world turns. The whole cosmos turns. And it's a man who does it. A man who happens to be God. So I hated the Mamdani tweet. Some, some Christians. Oh, it's nice. He's kind of acknowledging the day. Not good enough. Sorry. Seeing nothing at all if you're not going to say what it's really about. But anyway, Zoran got the message because on Easter he tweets out.

18:21Happy Easter New York. Today, millions of New Yorkers celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the victory of hope over despair and faith over fear. Yeah. That's more like it, Zoran. Would you remember there was that shooting at a church? And I think it was at Muslims. We're attacking the church. I don't even remember. There's so many of these incidents. But Hillary Clinton referred to the Christians there, the congregants, as Easter worshipers. They're Easter worshipers. No, they're not worshiping Easter. They're worshiping Jesus Christ because they're Christians. They don't want to say that name. Zoran didn't want to say the name on Friday. Now he's saying it. Happy Easter New York. Today, New Yorkers celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Then he goes on. As the air warms and cherry blossoms begin to bloom, this holy day is a sacred time deposit and reflect on the season of rebirth. Good. Whether you spend this day singing and pews, parading down Fifth Avenue, joining a processional guided by the bamboo trumpets of Haitian rah-rah music or hunting for painted eggs amidst the spring grass. I wish every New Yorker a joyous day.

19:22Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Hold on. What did you just say? Boy, I just said I, if you're parading down Fifth Avenue, no, no, after that, oh, no, I said if you're painting eggs, no, no, before that, what was the Haitian rah-rah bamboo? What? He has, he can't help himself. He can't help himself. He has to get in some lib nonsense that no one's ever heard of. I googled it. It's some weird thing that Haitian slaves used to do before they launched the voodoo revolution and slaughtered all the white people on the island and became the worst country in the world ever since, just for just an absolutely cursed awful country. Anyway, those some Haitians are good people. Bamboo trumpets of rah-rah, is that what you do on your remember? You're just thinking, I've got my Easter bonnet, my bamboo and my rah-rah to have a Haitian parade. No, you never, you didn't do that. Whatever, whatever, whatever. He goes on. Let us all embrace this holiday's spirit of hope and renewal as we build the

20:24city and the world that we deserve. You know what I love most about that tweet? Zoran had to send it. He didn't want to send it. He was forced to send it. We know he didn't want to send it, because we have his good Friday tweet. Good Friday, the most solemn day in the Christian liturgical calendar, about the day that Christ sacrificed himself to redeem mankind. He refuses to mention Jesus. And then he changes his tune two days later. Why? Because of the outcry, because of the pressure, because it would hurt his political prospects if he didn't mention Christ on Easter. I don't, I don't want to be uncharitable here and read cynicism. But come on, I have the good Friday tweet. I'm just being rational here. He got forced into it. And you know what? That's fine. Hypocrisy is a tribute vice-paced virtue. I'm cool with it. In fact, I'm happier about it because I don't look for Zoran Mamdani's soul. I hope that he is Christian. I hope that's

21:26good for him. But as a political matter, I don't really care about him sending the tweet out of the goodness of his heart or his true sentiment. I like that the political conditions are such right now that Christianity is back. And if you want to be a successful politician, a successful public figure, it actually helps you to support Christianity. That was true for basically all of American history. But for the last 20 years, 25 years, that has not helped you. In fact, people had to downplay their Christianity. Christianity was seen as stupid and backwards and oppressive and all the thing, all the opposite of what it really is. And now we're back. You know the proof, you want to know the proof positive of this? A true Easter miracle happened yesterday. Forget about the rescue in Iran. Google in the Google Doodle referenced Easter. Do we have the Google Doodle? We do. Now, of course, there's no Christianity. There's no cross. There's no empty tomb. There's no... No, look, baby steps. It just said Google spelled out in little Easter eggs

22:34in little egg cups, little, you know, Ufala Kok kind of cups. Google. Now, why should this be Easter? It's the most significant event of the Christian liturgical calendar. Surely, you know, Google puts up little doodles almost every day for some nonsense birthday that you've never heard of. For, you know, national pygmy Muslim day in Zimbabwe. But surely they would put something up for Easter, right? No. The last time that Google had a doodle, the referenced Easter, was 26 years ago. It was the year 2000. It was right after Google was founded. That was the last time, because Google is extremely left-wing and deeply anti-Christian. So why are they putting up the Google Doodle Easter eggs now? They would reference the craziest things on Christian holidays. Oh, today, today was actually the birthday of the 24-year-old

23:39Sumerian beat poet, click-clack, Abedengo. Say, I thought it was Christmas. No, no, no. The more important thing to remember is the slam poetry of MX, they, them, Abedengo. That's what they would do, like every year. And now they have to put up the Easter eggs. Why? Because the people expect it, and the people demand it. Baptisms are up. Confirmations are up all over the country, specifically among Catholics. But it is a part of a broader religious trend. If you've been looking at social media, you've probably seen it. But it's backed up by data from specific parishes. Even CNN has to admit it. We'll get to that in a second first. I want to tell you about leaf filter.

Lest you think it's wish casting. We say, oh, religion's back. Christianity's back. Catholicism in particular is back. Lest you think it's just

25:43wish casting. I turn to CNN. There's a new and somewhat unexpected story emerging inside American churches, not decline, but growth. According to the New York Times, Catholic diocese across the country are reporting a sharp increase in adult conversions, with some seeing their highest numbers in years. In Detroit, more than 1400 new Catholics expected this Easter at 21 year high. In Washington, nearly 1800 will join also up from last year. And it's not just happening in one region. The Times reports this trend is showing up in large and small diocese alike. Meanwhile, the Washington Post takes us inside one parish in New York City where attendance has jumped 20% in just the last six months, with services now so packed that people are turned away at the door. And this is not limited to Catholicism. According to another New York Times report, Orthodox Christian churches also seeing a surge with priests describing record numbers of new converts, many of them young men. So across different traditions, a similar pattern is

26:46emerging. Even CNN is admitting that religion is on the rise specifically among the youth. And do you know why? Because the gods of the copy book headings come back. Do you know that poem? I think I read it on the show before. This is by Rudyard Kipling. The poem goes, as I pass through my incarnations in every age and race, I make my proper frustrations to the gods of the marketplace. Peering through reverent fingers, I wash them flourish and fall. And the gods of the copy book headings, I notice outlast them all. We are living in trees when they met us. They showed us each in turn that water would certainly wet us as fire would certainly burn. But we found them lacking in uplift, vision and breadth of mind. So we left them to teach the guerrillas while we followed the march of mankind. Goes on is a little bit longer. I just get to the last little bit here. Then the gods of the market tumbled. Look at these false gods that we followed. The gods of preference and desire and public opinion. They tumbled. And their smooth

27:47tongueed wizards withdrew. And the hearts of the menace were humbled and began to believe it was true that all is not gold thick litters and two and two make four. And the gods of the copy book limped up to explain it once more. As it will be true in the future, it was at the birth of man. There are only four things certain since social progress began that the dog returns to his vomit and the sour returns to her mire and the burnt fools bandaged finger goes wobbling back to the fire. And that after this is accomplished and the brave new world begins when all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins as surely as water will wet us as surely as fire will burn. The gods of the copy book headings with terror and slaughter return. With this is about less, less you need to just a little English class on this. Though I think most people will get the meaning is that those little moral maxims used to write in your notebooks. People used to be taught. They're not even taught that in school anymore. Those aren't just sentiment. Those aren't just social constructs. Those aren't just the fads of any given age. Those are the eternal moral rules. Those are the eternal facts of life.

28:51And we try to pretend they don't matter and we try to reinvent the world. We try to change the world and it doesn't work because the reality reasserts itself in the end. And so we're talking about the gods of the copy book headings. These are these lower gods of the kind of natural laws, moral laws. God himself returns. Do you know why? Because man is a religious creature and man has a natural longing for God. And God is ultimately our only satisfaction. And God is our only satisfaction because we're physical creatures in part. So water satisfies us, made by our cigars satisfy us, candy satisfies us. We have sex satisfies us. We have these natural longings. But we're also immaterial. We're also souls. We're also mind. We're also rational cognitive power. And because of that, material goods can't satisfy that. So it's this, the lips kind of view this as a curse. We desire more than we can possibly have. Oh, isn't this the curse, the tragedy

29:53of mankind? We desire eternal life, but we die. We desire the infinite, the eternal, but we're fixed in the finite. Oh, cursed existence. What a tale told by an idiot full of sound and fury signifying nothing. Signifying nothing. Notice that from Macbeth. Signifying nothing. We're talking about what if there's meaning in the world, there's meaning in that rescue. But the lips are totally wrong about everything, but especially about this because God does exist because he has offered his eternal life. That's the sign of Easter. You know, Christ says in the Gospels, a wicked generation seeks a sign. And to that, to that generation, no sign will be given. None but the sign of Jonah. The sign of Jonah is Jonah going down in the belly of the whale for three nights and being resurrected. Christ going down harrowing hell, being resurrected on the third day. That's the sign. You can't have eternal life. That's the sign. You can do it. There's this, there is a satisfaction. Young people in particular are getting this right now. Older people are getting this to some degree. CNN is scratching its head. It doesn't, can't figure it out, but does at

30:58least acknowledge that it's happening. The eternal questions remain. And there are eternal solutions too. You just have to acknowledge their existence. Okay. You have to acknowledge their existence and then cooperate with God's grace to achieve them. Speaking of related shifts, really, really good news, Gen Z women want to be tradwives. They just do. They just want to be tradwives. And the lips are very upset about this. Here is Vice Magazine, kind of hipster Lib Magazine. Gen Z women are obsessed with becoming tradwives according to Edu Birdie. Here's how Gen Z women rank their dream lives based on four popular role models, including tradwives. So I'll just read a little bit of it. It's a really good article worth reading, very satisfying. The millennials were the girl boss era. And it's very sad because I'm a millennial, many of my friends, many of my best friends are millennials, even millennial women. And millennial women really screwed up their lives and they were led into delusion by their teachers. And in some cases, by their parents, they were told to not have families, to have

32:01casual sex, to go just follow a career, to ignore most of the things that really matter. And Gen Z, they're not the girl bosses. According to Vice, while the girl boss era might not be fully over, it's shifted a bit, especially among Gen Zers, who have redefined the meaning of success. In fact, a new study by Edu Birdie found that 47% of Gen Z women would choose a stable, traditional life over luxury money and fame. 47%, which is not a majority, but it is a plurality. That's the largest grouping of women in that cohort. Around 23% still want to be girl bosses, according to the study. They aim for independence, success, even fame, and they will prioritize their careers over relationships or marriage. But here's the key. Here's the part of the article most people are going to miss. Gen Z simply measures power differently. By how much you can afford to not hustle? Alex Sinko, Stave's one of the people interviewed here. Therefore, traditional wives and

33:02girl bosses are not so far removed from each other these days. Their core values are often similar. So first of all, first of all, the fact that women want to be trad wives, this is understood to be some shocking claim. My family members and friends said, this is shocking. I can't believe this. That the women want to be trad wives. Our generation fought against that to liberate women from being trans. This is so weird. It's not weird. It's not weird. This is what women naturally want. I'm not saying all women. There are exceptions. There's the Margaret Thatcher exception. I know women like this. I know women who are really not best suited to be trad wives, but there are very few of them. Margaret Thatcher is the exception, not the rule. She's an exceptional woman, but she's the exception, not the rule. Most women want to be wives and mothers. It's just natural. Think about this. Think about if it were flipped. If men were told for decades that they should really want to be stay at home dads, they shouldn't want to go out to work. They shouldn't want to bring home the bacon. They shouldn't want to go lead in public life.

34:06They should just want to be stay at home dads. Gucci going their babies and feeding them their bottles and changing their diapers and keeping home, managing the home economy even, cooking, cleaning, nurturing. When the wife comes from work, you say, oh, honey, let me get you your pipe and your slippers. I don't know. I know it's some mixing up arrows. Let's say men were told that that's what they should want. That's what they need to want for decades. Would you be surprised if 20, 30 years later, men started to say, you know what? This really isn't for me. I don't really, I don't feel like I'm that good at this. I don't naturally want to do this kind of stuff. I'd really like to go out and hunt or work or bring home the bacon or go, I want to go do something. I'm not that nurturing. I don't totally. Would you be surprised? No, of course not. He's like, yeah, that was crazy. Let's try to get the man to wear an apron. Again, sometimes it happens. Just like there's the Margaret Thatcher exception, there is the stay-at-home dad exception. Friends of mine have done that. In rare instances,

35:12that can work. But the general rule is what we see. The key part of this article, which you get there at the very end, is that this isn't even really a battle of desires. So much as it is a misunderstanding of how to attain best of attain desires. Think about the girl boss and the tradwife. What do they want? Do they want totally different things? It seems like they do. But what do they really want? It seems to me the girl boss wants financial security. You go out and make some money. Does she wants financial security? Well, so does the tradwife. They just get it in different ways. You know what the girl boss wants? The one who wants to go out be a big star, be an influencer, or even just be really good at business. Do you know what the girl boss wants? I think she wants to be loved. Certainly that's what the influencer wants. That's what the movie star wants. That's what the woman hooking up with three

36:17guys a week in New York while she's doing her 100-hour a week job. That's what she wants. She wants to be loved, but she's trying to be loved in a way that most of the time is a mistake. The tradwife wants to be loved. What else do they want? I know what the girl boss wants. She wants to leave a legacy. That's it. I don't want to just live in the obscurity of the home. No, I want to leave my mark. I want to leave a legacy. I want people to remember me. You think the tradwife doesn't want that? What do you think the tradwife is doing? The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world. Ironically, the tradwife is much, much, much more likely. Orders of magnitude more likely to leave a legacy, to be remembered, to have her name echo throughout history than the girl boss. That's the irony of it. It's the tragedy, really, of specifically the millennial women. Is these women who forego marriage, who forego kids, who just pursue the career,

37:18who just want to be a girl boss? The things that they desire, they're actually usually giving up. This is what a Palestinian bargain is. They're actually, they're not even getting the things they think they're getting in exchange for the massive sacrifice that they're making. And they're figuring that out. Gen Z is looking to the poor millennial women saying, shoot, it didn't work out for you. I don't want to make the same mistake. I want all the things you want, but I actually want to get them. Okay. Speaking of liberal women, speaking of wives, Gavin Newsom's wife, we have to, something has to be done about Gavin Newsom's wife, the potential next First Lady of the United States wife.

My favorite comment yesterday is from the drummer's workshop, Norm's Music, who says,

38:19Katanji Jackson is a few eggs short of an Easter basket. That's a better way to put it. I said, I was trying to speak euphemistically. I don't, I don't really want to be too harsh. I don't want to detract too, too toughly. Is that an effort on Katanji Jackson? So I said she's not the brightest bulb in the candelabra. But no, drummer's workshop, Norm's Music, you're right. She's a few eggs short of an Easter basket. No data about it. Gavin Newsom's wife is getting a lot of attention. I think she was an actress. I think so. Nice looking lady, but she's, she's made these videos over the years offering her opinions on social issues. And the whole right has been mocking her. And I've tried to lay off. I've tried to lay off because I said, look, this woman, she's not a road scholar. Okay, she's not a political genius. This is not Machiavelli or Count von Meternic. This is a nice looking blonde lady who has made videos to support the latest thing. She, her, her politics, such as it is, is just liberal sentiment. It is all emotion and passion.

39:25It has no reason to it whatsoever. And so I'm not going to pull up the old videos of her supporting Black Lives Matter or even, even trans maybe. I don't, those were back then. Maybe she'll learn as her husband runs for president. She'll just learn to kind of smile, you know, keep, keep the old yapper a little bit more on the closed side of things. And then we don't need to make fun of her too much. But she can't, she can't do it. And so I, I'm watching, I'm seeing because she's not learning. She's not, there's a real chance that Gavin Newsom becomes the president, which means that this woman could become the first lady. Trust me, I'm not a fan of Pambondi or Kristi Known. But I need to call out that it's no surprise to me that the first two prominent people pushed out of this administration or women. Let me explain. The conservative women that Trump handpicks who would line themselves with an agenda that controls women restricting our

40:26rights, limiting our autonomy and pushing us back into this straight jacket of femininity that is only in service of men. There's a familiar pattern here. Women have brought in package myologo style and lived it up as long as they commit to wholeheartedly serve the interests of the patriarchy at the top. Now it looks like power or proximity to power with a big title. But it never comes with job security and protection. There's no secure place inside this hand-picked patriarchal body that systemically disrespects the values and discriminates against women and girls. And this is where complicity comes in. Because when you line yourself with that value system with a leader who has publicly devalued women, degraded them, and then found liable of abusing women, women, well guess what? You're going to be the first to go. So while you're in a perceived position of power in the system that regularly diminishes and devalues other women, even if you just stop it. I can't. I thought I was going to end sooner and I just can't take it. I just can't. I can't take that tone for four or eight years. I just can't take it. Forget the

41:35ridiculous substance. It's the condescending, know-it-all feminism, which ironically doesn't know a damn thing about the world whatsoever. Now she's defending Christi Nome and Pam Bondi, who President Trump, I think, had a lot of patience with and let them last a very long time in their jobs, despite many calls for them to go. They were in particularly tough jobs, but they also were the source of most of the criticism of the Trump administration during the first year. The Epstein's stumble. That was a stumble out of the AG's office, okay? And Trump, I think, was very patient with her. The DHS operations were very, very tough to conduct, but basically the biggest criticism we got, at least on an immediate matter, not the long-standing Epstein thing, that an immediate matter was because of the handling of Minnesota's deportations under Christi Nome. We can tell you why they got fired and they got fired much later than a lot of people were calling for them to say this is about women. She's in the knowingness of the

42:38and the patriarchy and our rights. And we don't even get to kill babies. And I can't give me Hillary Clinton. Give me Hillary over that woman any day of the week. Hillary might be, I don't know that she's the devil. She might be a lesser demon incarnate, but thank goodness, at least the woman's smart. She's articulate. She, I know what she wants in terms of policy. She, but this woman, she's pretty. She seems kind of nice. And it's, frankly, probably a more radical and more leftist kind of feminism than anything Hillary's ever offered. Please, give me Hillary. Can I say another, this is a little tangential, but I was saying that I was lying on the couch last night with sweet little Elise. I have the family here in DC. It was lying on the couch. And an old picture came up of Hillary, like law school Hillary, college Hillary, something like that. And can I say something? Can I, because I know now, you know, she's a woman of a certain age.

43:38Can I say something? Law school Hillary? Not a bad looking woman. Can I say it? Can I say it? Oh, look, it can, this can be clipped out. And I don't, but law school Hillary. Look, Bill, he has a taste and he saw something in her. And this lady, she sounds nice. You know, Newsom's wife and she looks nice, certainly, but I can't take this. This would be a return to the Obama era. This would be right back to Obama. I can't, I can't please. Please don't, we must do everything we can to stop Newsom. I don't care about his policies. I mean, I don't, I don't, it's not, the biggest issue is don't bring me back to that. Please, frankly, make him the nominee. That, that message from that wife, that is why men shifted so much, especially young men, shifted so much to the right in recent years. We can't have that. Okay. Speaking of female relatives of terrible political leaders, the niece and grand niece of Iranian general

44:44Kasem Soleimani, we're just deported from the United States. Follow-up question. Why were they in the United States? Now, you might say, well, maybe they defected. Maybe they were very pro-America. No, they weren't. They hate America. They were, I think Marco Rubio has sent out a tweet about this. They called America the great Satan. They celebrated attacks on Americans. They had legal status. How did these people get into the country? How did these people get in? I don't know. Speaking of removing women, one story I want to get to came out at least a few days ago, but it's really worth pointing to. In Providence, Rhode Island, there is a mural that's gone up of Irena Zerutska. Remember Irena Zerutska? She's a woman who was savagely murdered on us on a train. This woman was almost everything the lips love. She's an immigrant. She's a single woman. She's from Ukraine for one. She's certainly a victim,

45:48but here's the rub. She was white and she was a victim of a black guy, a black guy who after he murdered her, made a comment about how happy he was that he killed a white woman. And so, the lips want to take the mural down. Multiple, the mayor wants to take the mural down. Representative David Morales had this to say. Ultimately, we want to make sure that every community member that calls Providence home feels safe. And we can both agree that this mural behind us does not reflect Providence's values, nor does it reflect the creativity that we want to see in ourselves. The mural doesn't reflect the creativity that we want. So, okay, the main takeaway that I've seen everyone observe about this is the Democrats hate white people. Yes, they do. Yeah, we got it. The liberals hate white people. The main takeaway I've seen from a lot of conservatives is, can you imagine if they're sure we're on the other foot and the roles were reversed and the

46:48positions were, can you imagine the Democrats were the real racists? Yes, they yes, sure, okay. The funnier aspect of this to me, it's kind of like how with the rescue story in Iran, the thing that's most interesting to me is what it means for all of us if there is meaning in the world, it's like one level deeper. The whole story is so astounding and it's just we should give thanks to God for it. But if there's meaning in the world, that radically changes everything about how you engage in the world, doesn't it? That radically shifts like your whole life if you can actually accept that there is meaning in the world. Well, it's the same thing here. What is interesting to me about this is not that the Democrats hate white people or they want to let criminals, especially black criminals off the hook, it's not that. Notice how quick the libs are to regulate art. You know, this is this thing that the libs have been pushing for almost a hundred years now, which is that art should have no limits. Art should have no limits. Anything

47:50can be art. If we take a photograph of a crucifix in Iran, that's great art. That's a real work of art. Someone called it piss Christ, horrifically blasphemous work of so-called art. But it was defended. We can never regulate art. Marcel Duchamp puts a toilet in a museum and he says it's art. Someone tapes a banana to a wall. That's art. Even the most vile blasphemous sort of things. Oh, no, that's art. But the only reason the libs will tolerate blasphemous art is because it's art that blasphemes a God that they hate, like God himself Christ. But when art blasphemes a false god, like the false god of race, you know, but in this case, you know, saying that a black eye can commit a crime, saying that a white lady could be a victim of a crime, that's a sort of blasphemy for the false religion of liberalism. So they won't allow that. There's this slogan, which was, it's put in Latin, but it's not an ancient Latin slogan. It's just a new slogan,

48:54put into Latin. Ars Grazia Artis, art for arts sake. It's the motto of MGM studios. Art for arts sake. Art shouldn't be for a purpose. It shouldn't have an agenda. Art is just for arts that we everything can be art, you know, we never want to accept for this. Look how quick they want to regulate art. So where went, where did the abstract expressionism go? Where did the free spirit, free spirit go? I don't know what's going on. I don't know. All right. Good standards are coming back to art. Find by me. Let's put some real standards in. Okay.
