A new euphemism has dropped for the leftist riots in L.A.
Fiery but mostly peaceful protests are out.
Overwhelmingly peaceful protests.
That was Kamala's euphemism.
That's out.
Now, according to...
liberal journalists like Brian Stelter, remember him, the arson and looting are to be known as
a cry of hope. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles show. Welcome back to this show.
Israel has finally gone too far. You know I've been circumspect in my criticisms of the state of
Israel too far. Put a pause on my brilliant thoughts because I want you to go to balance of nature.com
use promo code noles. You've heard me talk about balance of nature many times before. That is because
balance of nature fruits and veggies is the most convenient way to get whole fruits and vegetables
daily, especially if you're focused on creating a healthy or happier lifestyle. Nature is pretty good
at giving us the nutrients we need through our fruits and vegetables. So balance of nature takes fruits and
veggies, freeze-drizes them, turns them into a powder, and puts them into a capsule. You take
your fruit and veggie capsules every day, then your body knows what to do with them. Balance of nature
is just one ingredient of a balanced lifestyle, has no intention to replace a healthy diet, exercise,
sleep or any other healthy habits. It is intended to be used in concert with other healthy habits.
I personally love Balance of Nature. You know I'm on the road a lot. I've been doing actually
a fair bit of international travel, some of it for work at least, and speeches and podcasts and all
that. It's good to know when the sweet little lease is not making me my veggies that I can have
access to them all the time. Go to Balance of Nature.com. It's promo code Noles. For 35% off your

Brian Stelter, he was on CNN now, I don't know what he's doing, he's tweeting.
He posted an article from the American Prospect, this is some liberal magazine, and here's the
quote he posts from it.
These protests, which have been abbreviated in the media as unrest, were actually a cry of
hope and a reminder of the human need for community, the need to turn to each other.
to find something in believe in, like free sneakers, for instance.
That would be something to believe in, like cars on fire.
That would be, yes.
Just to turn to each other, find something to believe in, like graffiti and assault.
And arson.
Yeah.
It's, you know, it's like you have your bridge club.
You have your church group.
And we, on the left, have our Mexican anarchist arson.
and looting parades. You know, it's just, it's about community. It's a cry of hope.
The article, and the headline goes on to call them, cries of defiance and songs of joy in Los Angeles.
It's just, this, the lives can't help themselves happily. This is a great fact for conservatives to
console ourselves with. They can't help themselves. They always have to take it a little bit too
far. And then the backlash comes. This is it. Russell.
Russell Kirk kind of understood this.
Plenty of the years have intuited this fact.
The great conservative consolation that reality reasserts itself in the end and the
libs, they have to follow their ideas to their most extreme illogical positions, which
then causes the backlash.
The libs couldn't be cool with don't ask, don't tell.
Don't ask, don't tell in the American military was a concession to the gay lobby.
It was Bill Clinton.
It was a liberal president saying, look, previously it was totally.
against the rules to be a little light in the loafer's in the army and the Navy and the Marines and the Air Force and the Coast Guard.
So now we're just not going to ask.
And you're not going to tell.
We're not going to say it's great and wonderful.
But, you know, you're not going to ask.
You're not going to tell.
And you get to remain in the military.
But the Libs couldn't be cool with that.
He said, no.
We want to tell.
We want to tell.
We want to tell everyone.
We want to tell them in the streets and pride parades.
We want to tell them in the schools.
and in the elementary schools.
Yeah, that's what we want to do.
We want to tell little kids how great it is to be gay.
And not just gay, by the way.
We're not even going to be restrained with that.
We got to go trans and we're going to trans the kids.
And at a certain point, ordinary people have had enough.
And so they say, no, cut it, no.
I disapprove.
I reject this.
And when you reject the logical conclusion of an idea,
you start to unwind and you start to reject the idea itself.
This is why, by the way, many people have observed it's become almost cliche this year to say,
you know, in the year, 2025, we're allowed to say gay and retarded again.
They'd like these two words that had become kind of verboten and taboo for the last, I don't know,
20 years.
Well, now we can say them again.
Just focus on that word gay.
Why?
Why is it now acceptable, socially acceptable, in many quarters to use the word gay in a pejorative sense?
it's because the Libs went so far with the transing the kids. So then, as I predicted,
you know, I hate to say I told you so. I said, we're not just going to stop by saying, okay,
here's the red line, no more transing the kids. That's it. No, no, I said, it's going to go,
it's going to go back. There's going to be a backlash against transing the adults. There's
going to be a backlash against the whole LGBT movement. Ultimately, there will be a backlash against
feminism, which is the origin of this idea. Just as the idea goes from the beginning all the way
to its logical extreme. So, too, when it when it boomerangs back,
it's going to keep going. You're not going to really be able to stop it. That's what's going on in L.A.
Had some Mexicans just gotten upset that they were being deported and maybe even held a rally or two,
no one would care. Trump would not be involved. The National Guard would not be there. The Marines
would not be there. Ordinary people would not be defending the Trump administration's policies.
They'd ignore it. The Libs had to go. Not only protest, but wave Mexican flags, not only wave Mexican flags,
but where Kefi is, not only where Kefey is, but light cars on fire. Not only like cars on fire,
but loot, not only loot, but say that it was a great thing. They couldn't even say, oh, this is bad,
but it's being incited by the Republicans. No, no, no. They had to go further. They say,
this is great. This is joyful. Oh, what a joyous arson. Oh, this is hopeful. This is a wonderful
celebration. That's when ordinary people look at it and say, oh, you guys are completely divorced from reality.
Okay, no thanks. No thanks, Brian Stelter. No thanks, Kamala Harris. No thanks. Mexican anarchist
Palestinian arson looting gangs. No thanks. We're good. We don't want that. Whatever that is,
we want the opposite. We're with Trump and the National Guard and the Marines and the normal people.
But they just have to take it a little too far. So some of the Democrat politics,
understand that this has happened. This is not their first rodeo. This has happened many times
before. So the smartest ones, like Nancy Pelosi, got to give her credit, she's been in power a long time,
Nancy Pelosi tries to deflect. Rather than defending the anti-deportation riots as cries of joy,
she says, okay, I don't want to talk about the deportation riots at all because it's just going to make us look bad.
I'm going to deflect to talk about January 6th.
January 6th, with violence against the Constitution, against the Congress, and against the United States Capitol,
we beg the President of the United States to send in the National Guard.
He would not do it.
And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California.
Something is very wrong with this picture.
Something is wrong here. You see the argument. Oh, Trump, he's so happy to send in the National Guard to L.A. where he's politicizing the protests of the migrants. But on January 6th, when I begged him to send in the National Guard and he refused to do it. So clearly Trump does not have a consistent view of the National Guard or of law enforcement. He's just playing politics. And the proof is, I begged him to send in the National Guard on January 6th.
He did not, and it's all his fault, which would be, at least a somewhat compelling argument,
had Nancy Pelosi not contradicted the argument herself when she admitted on camera that the failure to send in the National Guard on January 6th lies entirely with her.
We have responsibility, Terry.
We did not have any accountability for what was going on there, and we should have.
This is ridiculous. You're going to ask me in the middle of the thing when they've already breached the inaugural stuff that, should we call the Capitol Police? I mean, the National Guard? Why weren't the National Guard there to begin with?
They thought that they had sufficient resources.
No, there's not a question of how they had made. They don't know. They clearly didn't know, and I take responsibility for not having them just for.
prepare for more.
I take responsibility.
I take responsibility for not having them.
Prepare for more.
Why weren't the National Guard there?
I take responsibility.
That was Nancy Pelosi in a film made, I believe, by her daughter,
which really only came out because of all of the investigations into January 6th.
Libs really hoisted with their own pitar on that one.
Now, in the year of Our Lord 2025,
Nancy Pelosi says it was Trump's fault
the National Guard wasn't there. Well, hold on, lady,
in an apparently candid moment,
closer to the event, you admitted it was your fault.
So the whole argument falls apart.
Trump is just politicizing the National Guard.
No, no, no, no, he's been pretty consistent.
He wants to restore law and order.
You guys hate law and order,
which is why you encouraged not only the L.A. deportation riots
where you say, get out in the street, come on, go out there,
make sure you tell the Trump administration what you think.
But you did this during George Floyd,
and you do this all the time.
And you don't want law enforcement
because you think that a little bit of anarchy
on the streets will help you gain a little bit more power.
And now that Trump has unified government
and he's wielding the government
to make you look terrible
and to enforce justice
to very important priorities,
now all of a sudden you object to it
and the only way you can object to it is by lying.
And now we got you dead to rights in the lie
because of the video,
the national card will remain there,
the Marines will remain there.
We will continue to arrest
your anarchistic and arsonist associates,
and you can cry about it.
But it's not going to look good for you,
and the people know exactly what's up.
Because we can see it with their own two eyes.
I'm going to return to my very important point.
First, though, I want you to go to helixleep.com slash knolls.

Speaking of inadvertent liberal admissions regarding the immigration issue, my favorite bit, my single favorite piece of coverage from the entire L.A. riots.
Comes from the Washington Post.
Headline, an ice raid disrupts life on Martha's Vineyard.
Here's the post on the social media posting of this article.
Life on Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket has been disrupted after migrant workers were shackled and boarded on To-Co.
Coast Guard boats, igniting fear among undocumented workers who formed the backbone of the island's
workforce. The backbone, these illegal aliens, where the workers understood primarily in their role as
labor, cheap labor that does not have recourse to legal protections. They're the backbone of the
workforce of some of the ritsiest places in the country, Martha's Vineyard in Nantucket. Now life,
life on Moth's vineyard has been disrupted.
Can you imagine the Washington Post reporting April 12th, 1861,
life in Charleston has been disrupted.
The reliable labor force is threatened by raids from the federal government.
Yeah, yeah, I think you're right.
Now, the lib, a lot of the libs, I think,
and some of the squishier conservatives, but a lot of the libs.
they're probably not even conscious of it.
But the reason they are so eager to defend illegal immigration is because it provides them effectively with slave labor.
If not quite slave labor, at least indentured servant labor.
At least it's pretty close to slave labor.
When they say, who's going to pick our grapes and who's going to wash our houses and who's going to mow our lawns?
What they're saying is what they're saying is what are you going to do when you have to pay a fair market
rate to workers who have recourse to legal protections for all of these things in your home.
And they're not just talking to the super rich. Basically, every person in America, at least every
person in and around a major city, any kind of city. I don't know. What are you talking about,
about 80% of Americans at this point regularly interact with illegal alien labor. There are a lot of
illegal aliens in the country. Maybe not if you're truly in the middle of the sticks outside of Palookaville.
maybe then you don't interact with illegal alien labor.
But if you're in or around anything even resembling a city, you do.
And so it's not just rich Uncle Pennybags who has the illegals cleaning their private jets before they take off.
It's everyone. Everyone is using Uber Eats, okay, or any of these delivery services, anyone who has a yard, who's paying for any kind of landscaping services.
it's anyone who's using all sorts of the service industry, fast food.
Chances are you're interacting with illegal alien labor.
And if we deport the illegals, your costs are going to go up.
And that means that the bougie little urbanite or suburbanite
is not going to have access to his slave labor anymore.
And that's going to disrupt life on Martha's Vineyard.
So I made the comparison, obviously, to the outbreak of the Civil War.
You know, Charleston v.
Life around Fort Sumter has been really disrupted.
However, we should be clear, because I don't want to be accused of hypocrisy or something.
The problem with illegal immigration is not primarily that it violates the rights of illegal alien workers.
That's part of it.
The problem with illegal immigration is primarily one of sovereignty and justice.
Are we a sovereign nation?
do we get to decide who comes in here, who is entitled to our resources, who gets to establish
himself here and whose family gets to vote? That's the primary issue. It's not just a sob story
for the illegal aliens. But that is part of it. This is why I think the civil war analogy is
actually pretty apt. The civil war was not primarily about slavery. It was. It was largely
about slavery, but it was not primarily about slavery. It was about sovereignty in the political order.
what kind of political order are we going to live under?
Do states have the right to secede from the union?
These were the big political order questions.
And the inciting incident was the slavery crisis.
That's all true.
Same thing here.
But this is what they're worried about.
Oh, that light, you're right.
The life on Martha's Vineyard and the life in Nantucket,
that is going to be disrupted.
And your life is going to be disrupted, by the way.
I made this point, warning my fellow conservatives.
If Trump actually deports 16 million illegal aliens, you're going to complain about it.
I'm going to complain about it because costs for a lot of things are going to go up.
It's not as though illegal immigration was just some uniformly terrible thing inflicted on us by the outside party.
It was just the Democrats.
It wasn't just the Democrats. It was just the liberals.
It wasn't just the liberals.
It was this unholy concoction of squishy chamber of, chamber of,
Commerce Republicans and opportunistic Democrats who wanted a permanent electoral majority
coming together and bringing in this foreign population because they thought that they could get
an advantage out of it. And there were advantages to it. And if we get rid of it, we will lose those
advantages. Prices will go up. I think sovereignty is worth the cost. I think cohesive society is
worth the cost. I think not pressing three for English is worth the cost. But there will be costs,
No doubt about it. Now, last point on this from another paper of record. New York Times is really messing up here.
Headline, the Mexican flag becomes a potent L.A. protest symbol. That's true. Totally right about that.
Trump officials have cast demonstrators waiting the Mexican flag as insurrectionists, but for many protesters who are Mexican-American, the flag represents pride in their heritage.
Yeah. Okay. Really funny coming from the New York Times. What did the liberals say when
when Southerners said, you know, look, the Confederate flag doesn't represent some awful,
racist, terrible thing. It just represents pride in our heritage.
You've got to ban it from Amazon, have to ban it from all of public life.
But when it's a Mexican flag, when it's not even a flag that's remotely associated with your own country,
then we have to waive it. It's a proud symbol of our heritage. Okay.
Trump could not have played this more perfectly.
The fact that the protesters, protesters, the arsonists and the looters are waiving Mexican,
flags and even the handful of peaceful protesters, however many there are. The fact that they're
waving the Mexican flag, Trump could not have scripted that more perfectly. It is Politics 101 that
whatever you want to do, whatever your political program, you wrap yourself in the country's flag.
You have to argue, if you want to be politically effective, you have to argue that your political
program is coming out of the tradition of your country.
It forms the deepest wellspring of your country.
I mean, think about when Abraham Lincoln effectively refounded the country after the Civil
War, his famous speeches spoke to the American tradition.
In some ways, he was upending the American tradition.
But he was making his arguments from within the tradition.
Four score and seven years ago, the most famous line of any Abraham Lincoln speech,
four score and seven years ago, it says, what I'm doing.
doing is the fulfillment of what the people who founded our country wanted to do. And so anything,
whatever your political agenda, you need to make that argument if you want to be effective.
Some arguments are more plausible than others. The Lib seem to have forgotten that. The New York
Times seems to have forgotten that. So they come out and they say, we, I guess it just flows
naturally from their political view, which is that they hate the country. And they say the country's
evil. So they say, we want to fly the flag of another country. Okay. Good luck persuading people.
Maybe this is it.
Maybe you've so successfully weakened the country that we hate our own flag.
I wouldn't bet on it.
Trump is so good.
Drew Claven pointed this out.
Drew Clavean pointed this out.
Drew said Trump is really great at driving his opponents.
It's not that Trump destroys his opponents.
It's that Trump makes his opponents destroy themselves.
That's what we're seeing here.
Okay, now the New York Times says, hey, Democrats, everyone, all of you, fly Mexican flags.
That'll persuade the electorate.
Okay, good luck.
Speaking of waving foreign flags, Israel has gone too far.

it's been a big, big controversy. Broadly, the right supports the state of Israel. Broadly, the left
supports Palestine, but it's more complicated than that. There are a handful of Democrats who are
still pro-Israel. There are, especially young conservatives, are much more skeptical of Israel,
even open to the Free Palestine movement to some way, which is a little weird. But basically,
that's the line. However, I'll say as a conservative, Israel's going too far. You know, Greta Thunberg,
was, she was on a boat going to Gaza for some reason, because she hadn't gotten enough media
attention in a while and climate change is ridiculous and no one cares about it anymore. So she needed a
hit and she said, all right, well, what's the big issue now? I guess the big issue on the left is the
free Palestine movement. All right, I'm going to forget about the sun monster. I'm going to put on a
kefia now and we'll get on a boat. She loves the boats and she goes to Gaza. And the boat is
intercepted in this war zone by the Israeli military and the Israelis walk on the ship and there's video
pictures of this, they, rather than, you know, beheading them or something like the Hamas would do,
the Israelis give them brioche, or what is it, Hala, Hala, the Israeli brioche, Jewish brioch,
and give them, you know, I don't know, like drinks and water and stuff. And they take her in,
and then they don't hold them captive, as Hamas would do, they decide to send them back,
including Greta. And what do they do? This is, what do they do? Greta is an international celebrity.
Okay, Greta could fly around in private jets all the time if she wants.
She actually somehow manages to engage in transportation that's even less environmentally efficient.
But she, you know, this is a big star.
Greta.
Those dastardly Jews put her in coach.
Can you imagine that?
Can you imagine?
Greta?
Not even comfort plus did the Israelis put this girl in.
Coach.
And if you look, actually, she seems to be relatively close to the beach.
bathroom. So it's toward the back of the plane. She's fine. She got a lot of space. It kind of looks like a
COVID flight. Remember during COVID, coach was actually often nicer to fly in than first class.
If any of you, I still did some business travel during COVID. I would be envious of my colleagues
who were in coach. I'd often get the business class seat. But coach, you get to recline. And so
she's got room to recline and everything. But coach, greater. It's too much. Enough is real. Enough.
okay, you've gone too far.
I saw someone on X yesterday say,
I was making fun of the Greta boat thing,
and it said, you know, Michael,
I don't agree with Greta Thunberg on everything.
In fact, I don't agree with her on much of anything at all,
but she has shown great courage and character
over the last few months,
much more so than you and some of those other conservatives.
she's shown great courage and character and clarity on the free Palestine movement.
I thought, okay, hold on.
This is my whole argument on that.
I don't care all that much about the Israel-Palestine issue.
I'm not a Muslim.
I'm not a Jew.
I'm a Catholic, so I'm a little bit of an outsider on this particular conflict.
And I don't really know all that much about the 3,000-year history of this conflict.
However, just as a rule of thumb, if you're telling me,
that Greta Thunberg is wrong about everything,
like all the way down to first principles,
is just really, really wrong about basically everything.
But all of a sudden you find yourself agreeing with her on this one issue,
which means, coincidentally,
that all of a sudden you find yourself agreeing with Democrats,
Ivy League professors,
Hollywood celebrities,
Islamists,
all these other people.
That you would agree.
They're wrong.
All of those other people are also wrong about basically everything.
But you suddenly find yourself agreeing with them on this one issue, the free Palestine movement.
Is it possible that you are the one who has aired?
Is it possible?
Again, I'm not, I understand that's not an argument from the issue per se.
I'm just saying as a rule of thumb, do you think it's likely that disparate groups,
of people who are often on each other's side, who are wrong about everything, as you would admit,
what are the odds that they just happen to be right about this thing? And the conservatives and the
people like Donald Trump and the people like, I don't know, that your favorite conservative
intellectuals or media figures or activists or what, that those people who are generally right
about at least a lot of things,
if not everything,
even most,
just they're generally right,
that they just happen to be totally wrong
and Greta and the Islamists
and the Democrats and the Ivy League professors
and the Hollywood celebrities just happen to be right.
What are the odds that that is true?
Seems to me a helpful and humble rule of thumb.
So, you know, if Greta and Hollywood
and the Dems and the jihadis
and like all these other people are on one side,
probably I should not be on that side.
Speaking of religion,
there is a really
unfortunate study that's come out
from Pew Research.
Christianity is a losing share
of the global population.
This actually relates to the previous story.
So good news, Christianity is growing.
It is still growing.
However, it's losing share
of the world.
religions among the global population, what are we losing a share to? Muslims. So I'll just,
I'll just read from it. Even as the overall number of Christians counted as one group across
denominations, so that's with the splits after the Protestantism, after the Eastern Orthodoxism,
the total number of Christians continues to climb to 2.3 billion. Our share of the world's
population decreased by 1.8 percentage points to 28.8, a falloff largely driven by disaffiliation.
The Muslim population, on the other hand, increased by 1.8 percentage points to 25.6, according to this Pew report.
And that is examining more than 2,700 census surveys and other surveys.
So according to Pew Research's Conrad Hackett, it's just striking that there was such a dramatic change in attention.
year period. Because you might look at those numbers and say, well, is that really that shocking?
Are these just regular trends? No, no. Pugh says, no, this is shocking, actually. During this time,
the Muslim and Christian populations grew closer in size, Muslims grew faster than any other major
religion. Excema is unpredictable. But you can flare less with ebbglis. A once-monthly treatment

and ten people taking ebb glist, achieved itch relief and clear or almost clear skin at 16 weeks.
and most of those people maintain skin that's still more clear at one year with monthly dosing.
Ebglis, Lebrichizumab, LBKZ.

The reason that this is happening, why are the Muslims gaining ground and the Christians losing ground?
The reason this is happening is because the Muslims believe their religion and we don't believe our religion.
In the West, that's broadly.
And not just the West.
Christianity actually is growing in places like Africa, Christianity where even while it's really suppressed in Asia still remains strong.
Europe is where it's cracking.
America, to a lesser degrees, where it's cracking.
Because we don't believe our religion.
Hilar Belak wrote about this.
Hilar Belloc has a great book.
I think it's in his book on the Crusades, where he says, look, had the Crusaders, the Crusades, which, by the way, were a defensive war and were completely justified war undertaken by the Christians against the aggressive Muslims.
and at some point we should do a series on the Crusades
because it's deeply misunderstood.
But we came close to winning in the Crusades,
the Christian forces.
In a way, had the Crusades really been successful,
we could have reunited the East and the West
after the Great Sism, regardless.
Hiller-Belach says,
had we taken Damascus and held Damascus,
Islam would have been broken.
Islam would not have survived.
But we didn't.
We failed.
And so our religion is.
the one that is cracked up into a zillion different schisms and broken the political unity of Europe
and all the rest. Islam and Heller Belloc's writing, what was this, 1930 or something? He's writing
from a period when Islam was relatively dormant. He said, Islam remains fundamentally intact and it's
going to come back and it's going to come back in a strong way. That's what we're seeing happen.
Because we don't believe our religion, really, and they do. And these are religions that are not
compatible. It's kind of funny. There are people who will, they'll say, you know, hey, I have this
idea. We need a new political coalition. We're going to have a brand new political coalition and
we're going to be allies with the Muslims now. And we're, even some people say, we'll be allies with
the Muslims and will be tougher on the Jews because they're fighting in Israel, Palestine.
You say, oh, that's a, well, what an interesting idea. We're going to, all of a sudden have a great
alliance with the Muslims. Look, I want to win some Muslim votes in places like Michigan and elsewhere.
But, you know, we have been fighting as a civilization.
We've been fighting against Islam for about 1,400 years.
You know, within a century or so of the founding of Islam, the Muslim forces were 150 miles outside of Paris, the Battle of Poitiers.
Okay, this is, and then they tried to come in again at the Battle of Lepanto.
Then they tried to come in again at the Battle of Vienna.
Now they're coming in again and they're being welcomed by the European Union.
This is a longer civilizational conflict than just your lifetime.
Okay.
And if we don't get serious about our faith, we're going to lose that civilizational conflict.
And frankly, there won't need to be a shot fired.
If we lose the, Hillerbellock made another great point, very controversial point.
I forget if it was in that book or in a different book.
He wrote so many.
He said, the faith is Europe and Europe is the faith.
Provocative statement.
But understood in a modest way, just saying the only thing that gives coherence to Europe is the faith.
You lose the faith, you lose Europe.
Look around that continent.
Look around our own country as an extension of Europe.

My favorite comment yesterday is from Schumapadu 1141,
who says, when that Mexico flag waved, it was on then.
This is what allowed Trump to send in the military.
Yeah, I think you're right.
It was just so, such a tactical error from the Libs.
some of them knew it, but they were kind of shouted down.
The ones who said, maybe we should wave the American flag.
I mean, I know a small number of patriotic liberals, very liberal people, usually older, very liberal, but very patriotic, dying breed, because of the logic of liberalism, which forces you to turn on your family and your God and your beliefs, sometimes your own sex, and your country.
to liberate yourself from everything that could place any constraint on you,
certainly, which includes the country, certainly includes a nation.
So they have to wave the flags of other countries,
but that's very damaging to their political movement.
Okay.
Speaking of moral frameworks, a lady has gone viral for talking to her daughter
about her daughter's supposed in utero memories.
Listen to this.
It says, everything my daughter says, she remembers while being in my belly.
Your favorite food that you ate in my belly.
Corn.
I love corn.
The baby was corn.
I did eat corn.
Was it really bright in there or was it dark?
It was dark.
It was dark?
Yes.
What did it sound like in there?
Sound like music.
It sounded like my sound machine in my room?
Yes.
No way.
Music.
I was hearing music.
You were hearing music.
I was sleeping. I was sleeping in your belly.
You were sleeping in my belly?
Yes.
You were sleeping in my belly, eating my food. It was dark. It sounded like music.
Like my sound, like the sound machine in my room.
A lot of space in there? Was it really tight?
It was very tight.
It was very tight?
Yes. I couldn't get out.
You couldn't get out?
No.
Were you comfortable in there, though?
No.
You weren't?
Nope.
Okay, so this is how cute, isn't it? This is really cute.
Probably this is just a little girl with an imagination, and the mother's clearly leading her on you.
She goes, was there a lot of room in there? Or was it really, really tight?
You know, what do you think the kid's going to say?
He's going to say, oh, probably the thing that got my mother excited. That's what it was.
You know, so it's all these leading questions, whatever.
What's interesting about this is not that the little girl can remember being in the womb, which she almost certainly cannot.
What's interesting about this is that the mother believes that the little girl remembers when she was in the womb and delights in the girl's supposed memories of being in the womb.
And then writes this in the caption.
Wait, I actually believe that she does remember some things because all the comments she made actually made so much sense.
Am I crazy?
Before this gets misconstrued, to be clear, all caps.
Pro-life propaganda is not welcome here.
And all caps.
You do not have my permission to use my video to support your opinions.
Ha-ha.
Well, that's what I'm doing, lady, so tough.
Using my video to further justify your own bias of point of view and misread, mislead, what the actual context of the video is.
is by definition propaganda.
I don't even know what those words mean.
I don't think that she knows what that means.
I'm misleading what the context of videos.
I just play the video.
I'm going to tell you what it means.
That's propaganda.
It's me articulating my correct opinion of things.
What you're suggesting is propaganda.
You're saying, we're going to give a very partial view of the truth.
We're going to deny uncomfortable truths in advance of my political ideology.
She goes, it's really such a beautiful thing when my daughter talks about what she remembers from the womb.
But here's the thing.
This moment is so special.
as I chose to have her. Hold on. Wait, what? Talk about propaganda. So, this woman believes that her
daughter can remember what she did in the womb. And this woman finds that so lovable, so adorable,
so delightful that she has to videotape it and post it onto the internet. But she knows that that fact
undercuts her other belief in abortion. Because if the base,
has memories of what she did in the womb, then the baby is really, truly, undeniably, fully a human
person in the womb. If you have memories and you can remember them outside of the womb,
by golly, you are indistinguishable even by the most liberal and rigid definition of personhood.
So she knows that. She knows it undercuts her abortion position. So then why does she post the
video. She knows that this is going to look bad for her views on abortion. She feels so strongly
about that she has to post this long disclaimer about how most of the post is about how much she
loves abortion. Even the video has nothing to do with it. Why? Why would she post it? Because
she finds the video so delightful and lovable and such a joy. Because her motherly, normal,
maternal instinct is like, oh, this is so cute. I just want to share this cute little thing with
my kid. And she remembers speaking of the woman. That's so wonderful. I love it that she's in the womb.
that's my precious baby. She got that. But then she's also being pulled by feminism and liberalism
and the pro-abortion ideology. Say, but I have to, but I still have to do my responsibility
and justify killing my precious daughter whom I love so much. Look what she said. She remembers the corner of
the womb. But I have to, don't misconstrue this. You should be able to kill her if you want.
Kill your kid if you want. It's good to kill your kid. Actually, the only thing that makes this
beautiful, precious, wonderful little video,
So adorable is the fact that I chose not to kill her.
Whoa, man, lady, I'm getting whiplash.
I'm going back.
What?
That's what she says.
She says, this moment is so special because I chose to have her.
In other words, because I chose not to murder my daughter.
That's not, I mean, that does make it special.
I'm glad you didn't do that.
What makes it special is that your cute little daughter is speaking to you.
And you're having this meaningful conversation.
And what you think makes it extra special is that she has memories
from being inside the womb.
What makes it notable and remarkable,
and the reason you're posting it
is because of this surprising discovery
you think you've made
that she was a human being
even in the womb.
That's the only reason.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be newsworthy.
If the little girl were saying,
hey, mommy, yesterday,
I really liked those chicken nuggets.
She wouldn't post it.
It's not surprising.
What she finds so surprising and delightful about it
is, oh my goodness,
I didn't think my daughter was a person in the womb,
but actually she was because she has these memories,
supposedly. That's not the criterion that distinguishes personhood, but whatever, in her own very
confused mind that is. And that's why she's posted it. That's what matters. That's why she's
posting it. But then she has to deny that. It says, no, no, no. What makes this special is I chose
not to murder her. I had the privilege of access to care, the ability to say yes to motherhood
when I felt ready. And I've worked so hard to break cycles, break cycles of what? And create safety
in our home. This is what happens when kids are brought to the world by someone who wanted them.
Not, you know, those kids who are unwanted, we got to chop their heads off. We got to suction them out
and put them through a razor. Even though the kid would look just like my cute little daughter right here,
but if they're not wanted, you know, if someone doesn't care for them, then chop them up. Who cares?
But for my precious daughter, I would never have an abortion, you see, because my precious
offspring are too valuable. But all you dirty poor people, disproportionately black people,
all you filthy Hoypoloid? Yeah, yeah, chop up your kids. I don't want them. Who wants them? But look
how cute mine is. Who had support, who is stable enough to give them the kind of childhood where they
feel safe enough to open up like that about how they're real persons in the womb who sometimes
get chopped up by vacuums and razor blades because of my ideology. Maybe even access those early
memories because trauma hasn't cladded everything. Yeah, well, they certainly can't access the early
memories if they undergo the trauma of being suctioned out with a vacuum and thrown into razor blades,
like you are advocating in this post. What a psycho, man. It's not even that she's a psycho. Unfortunately,
this point of view is widespread. She's just willfully ignorant and in the thrall of an evil and
stupid ideology, which describes a lot of people. I'm sorry to say. It's not just that she's got a
low IQ or something. Maybe she does. Maybe she doesn't. Plenty of people with very high IQs also become
willfully ignorant and enthrall. In fact, maybe disproportionately people with high IQs become enthrall
to evil and very stupid ideologies. So yeah, it's magical, but it's not random. It's the result of choice,
resources and healing.
What?
Now we're truly in just woo-woo,
wine mom, gobbledy goop liberalism.
It's not random.
It's a result of choice.
Yeah, okay, you chose not to kill her.
That's great.
So now you can discover that she was a person
even in your womb,
which you love so much you have to post for everyone,
but which you then, in the same breath,
have to deny.
Okay.
How about you just follow your gut, lady?
You know, this is what a lot of my political philosophy
comes down to.
You're just your gut is usually right.
I know you're not allowed to say prejudice, usually right.
This is what the conservative political philosophy largely comes down to.
You know things intuitively.
You know things in a way in the womb.
And the natural law is inscribed on every human heart.
And our conscious stock of reason is relatively small.
And you're not going to be able to write a doctoral dissertation about every single decision you're going to make in life.
and you're going to operate off of prejudgment,
which is also known as prejudice,
and that's not a bad thing.
Liberalism tells you prejudice is bad.
And it can be unjust.
You want to make sure it's subject to reason,
but you can go with your gut, lady.
And when your little daughter was in your guts,
you knew she was a person.
And now that she's out, you know she's a person still.
And the little girl seems to know that she was a person,
even when she was in your woman.
You can just go with that.
if you need to work this hard to convince yourself that your daughter at some point wasn't a human being
give up that ideology it's not worth it today's woke wednesday the rest of the show continues
