The Lindsay Clancy thing, man, just when you think it's reached the absolute bottom of the pit of degradation and absurdity, it gets worse. Outside of the courthouse yesterday in Massachusetts, 300 plus women rallied in support of Lindsay Clancy. These were not crazy-haired women with a bunch of septum piercings. These were not just young radicals.

These were women of all ages. And when I say they were women of all, normal-looking women, like your wife, your mother, normal-looking women of all ages bringing their children. Young girls, you can see a girl in the crowd. We have the clip of it, right? You can see a girl in the crowd, a crowd who's probably, I don't know, 12 or 13. And then you see one woman holding her baby. And all the women holding up little hearts.

You're all wearing pink. You can hear babies crying, women holding up hearts for Lindsay. You can hear the audio is a little muffled, but it's about all of us. It's about all of us. And it'd be one thing if it were like an Antifa gathering. It's not. It is your aunt. It's your cousin.

It's your wife. It is normal-looking women of all races, of all shapes, of all ages, very serious, very somber. Not for the three little kids that Lindsay Clancy murdered, but for the murderer, holding their babies up. There's reporting on this all over the place. Here's just from PBS. Several of the 300 women and a few men said Clancy's story resonated with them and that they wanted to raise awareness about how the mental health system treats women. A lot of people keep asking, what is this about? Why are these women defending Lindsay Clancy? Because now you're getting some of the women podcasters defending Lindsay Clancy. And I think the explanation of why the women podcasters are defending Lindsay Clancy is either they're nuts or that they're just captured by their audience, the audience, which reflects a ton of women who are showing up in real life outside of the courthouse to defend Lindsay Clancy knowing to figure out what is this about. Are all the women nuts? Do we need to repeal the 19th? Do we need to involuntarily commit these women? Do the women now just defend murder? Are these women sociopaths?

Are they on a bunch of SSRIs? They seem to show the SSRIs. You know, they seem to be a little dead behind the old retinas. So what is going on? And I think I've identified the explanation. It's a lot simpler than all of that. And it comes from their own quotes. Here's one quote from one of the women there. This is April Vincent, a 52-year-old paralegal from Providence, Rhode Island. She's not a DSA activist community organizer. She's a paralegal. 52 years old, she says, women are being dismissed, neglected, and ignored when we speak up.

We're scared because nobody takes us seriously. Here's another woman. Zaborski. She says, it's very sad. I am a mother. I am a grandmother. This is an older woman. I have a sister who had problems after birth,

and it's just very sad. I hope Lindsay gets the care she needs. and deserves and other women will come together like we did today. The key to understanding all of the Lindsay Clancy stuff is in the pronouns. Look at those pronouns, that first woman who is speaking. We, when we speak up, that's the first person plural pronoun. We're scared because nobody takes us seriously. You have three instances of the first person plural pronoun in those two sentences.

Not much of a reference to Lindsay Clancy. Not much, not she, not her, not she murdered her kids. Has nothing to do with the victims, the kids has certainly nothing to do with the poor husband whose wife murdered his whole family. Has nothing to do with Lindsay Clancy who admitted to murdering her kids. Admitted to killing her kids. She said she's not guilty because she doesn't want to have any responsibility for anything. It's all about us.

It's all about we, the women. And then this other woman, look at this. I am a mother, one. I am a grandmother, two. I have a sister, three. I hope Lindsay Clancy, four, gets the care she needs and women will come together like we did today. Five examples of the first person pronoun in a couple of sentences. What this is all about, the reason that women are defending Lindsay Clancy, is to get attention.

It is to get the attention that they feel that they deserve. It is entirely about them. It has nothing to do with Lindsay Clancy. This is the most charitable read that I can give on this. Because there's another read, which is, I was talking about it yesterday, which is that 50% of American women support killing their own babies through abortion. So clearly there's a little emotional blunting going on here. But I think the charitable read and the most accurate read is this actually has nothing

to do with Lindsay Clancy. It's all about them. They're interested in true crime. They're interested in soap operas. they're interested in defending this horrific woman, not because they actually want to make an argument in defense of murdering your own kids. It's because they just want attention. They just want attention. Sometimes the simplest psychological explanation actually is the most accurate explanation. They want attention. Their husbands don't pay them enough attention when they're

going through postpartum depression. Their husbands don't pay them enough attention when they're taking care of their kids. And it's hard. It's like, it's really hard. to be a mother. And I don't think that women have postpartum depression for eight months, as Lindsay Clancy is describing. And I don't think that that explains or in any way excuses or justifies her killing her kids. But I do think that a lot of women want attention. And in some cases, you know, it's fair. It's tough being a woman. It's tough being a mother. But I think that's what it is. Me, me, me, me, me, look at me. Look at me, me, me. It's all about me. Don't I, I work so hard. I'm so put upon. I don't get. And to some, to some,

some degree you sympathize with these women, but they take it to this extreme where they are now, I think inadvertently, justifying a woman who murdered her kids. But it's really about them. And the proof that it's about them is they're only talking about themselves. This all this heart, the girl power, it's all, it's just, it's trying to focus the attention away from the victims, away from the perpetrator even, to them. They just want attention. And we're giving it to them. But this has been an evolution of my political thought as I've worked in politics since I was a teenager. I'll give an example on abortion because it's a little clearer there. When I was a young man, I grew up in New York, I was surrounded by liberals.

I basically had never met a pro-life. I'd never really been exposed to any kind of pro-life arguments. So when I was a teenager, I'm ashamed to admit, when I was a libertarian, and I was pro-abortion, I saw nothing wrong. I just didn't understand what the argument was against abortion. when I was that young teenage libertarian, I attributed abortion politics mostly to psychology. I thought, as the left told me since I was in diapers, that pro-lifers just hated women. And that psychological explanation was really what abortion politics was about.

As I got older and I became more conservative and I became more religious and I thought more deeply about political philosophy, I thought about abortion primarily as a matter of ideology, as a showdown between the liberal idol of personal autonomy on the one hand and the conservative observation of an objective moral order on the other. And I thought, okay, abortion politics is really about this fundamental conflict between first principles when it comes to political ideology. But I'll tell you what, the older I get, the more deeply I consider political philosophy, the more I live in the world, I am returning. to the psychological explanation. I now think when it comes to abortion, most of abortion politics is explained by guilt. I think a lot of women, what is it, one in four women, one and four or one and five women at some point has an abortion in their lives, and they know it's wrong because the natural law is inscribed on every human heart, and so they know deep down that it's wrong,

and they feel a lot of guilt for it. And rather than coming to grips with that and repenting and asking for forgiveness, which is available to them, thanks to God, rather than doing that, they have to come up with these ex post facto rationalizations for abortion. I actually think the psychology explains a lot more of the political view. And I think a similar phenomenon is going on here. These women don't know anything about the Lindsay Clancy case. They're not seriously considering murder. They're not even really thinking, they're certainly not thinking of their own children. They just want attention. They're thinking about themselves and they know that it's real tough being a mom and it's real tough being a woman and they want to get attention for all the difficulties

they go through. I think that's what it is. And it's a reminder that when my friend Ben Shapiro says, facts don't care about your feelings. He's right about that. He is right about that. But in politics, politics almost exclusively cares about your feelings and people are feeling creatures and women, they're a little more swayed by their feelings than men are more of the time. That's what explains it. That's what it's about. They want attention and we're giving them attention. Okay, speaking of crazy women, some lady in New York just tried to blow up the New York state capital, just tried to blow up Albany and blow up a bunch of lawmakers because she converted to Islam and has embraced ISIS. This is like a 35-year-old white lady.

What's going on with the women? I'll tell you what's going on. I actually don't think that story's about women at all. I don't even think it's really about Islam. I think the story, which is breaking now. It just happened. FBI foils ISIS plot to blow up the New York State Capitol. I think it's actually about the American left. And I think it's about Hassan Piker, basically. We'll get to that momentarily. First, I want to tell you about Boland Branch. Go to Bolandbranch. Go to Bolandbranch.com. slash Knowles can in WLS. There is a very specific moment at the end of a long day when you've officially accomplished everything you're going to accomplish. The emails can wait, the news can wait, civilization will have to survive without you until the morning. You get into bed and then what?

You're disappointed because you don't have your good betting yet. Okay. Once you have gotten used to good betting, as I have thanks to Bowling Branch, you can't go back. You can't go back because it's like staying in a five-star luxury hotel every single night. And it's one of these easy fixes. When I was a bachelor, I didn't think that sheets or bedding really mattered at all. So I was essentially sleep on plywood or, I don't know, sandpaper. And then I got Bowling Branch, made from 100% organic cotton breathable, designed for airflow. They get softer with each washing. And they're so good. I, a cheapskate, bought a set for some of my family. And then I got another set, and I recently just got a Bowen Branch new comforter, which is beautiful. Sleep cooler this

By the way, if you want women to break down the Lindsay Clancy story, I just sat down with a few of my lady friends on a panel to get the female perspective on why all of their fellow women are going nuts over Lindsay Clancy. Here's a little teaser.

There are demons at play. It's so gruesome. One struggles even to think about it. The food that we consume is designed to really poison our bodies. How does that obstruct for our hormones? Lawmakers should be seriously thinking about the entire conversation surrounding not criminally liable by reason of insanity. The irony not lost on anyone else that the man that created a documentary called What is a Woman is now trying to speak on behalf of the experience of women. Makes perfect sense. You know, Matt, he's an expert on women.

And speaking of Matt, by the way, once you watch the panel, on Lindsay Clancy with all the ladies. You got to go check out Matt's new real history episode. It's on Watergate. You know, I've been Nixon appealed for a very, very long time. Nixon, he's making a comeback. We're having a Richard Nixon in aissance. Richard, a Nixon as a son. I don't know. Episode seven of Real History with Matt Walsh. It's up now. Go check it out. Very, very important to watch. Okay. So there was a terror attack, almost a terror attack. It was foiled by the FBI up in New York. Cash Patel just posted about it. Thanks to the brilliant work of FBI, Albany and our partners. The FBI stopped yet

another alleged terror attack. Last night, the FBI arrested an individual who allegedly swore allegiance to ISIS and plan to carry this attack out on the New York State Capitol. She wanted to destroy as much of the building as possible and kill the senators while they were meeting. Now, what's strange is you'd expect this woman's name to be like Aisha, Aisha Mohamed Mohammed-Hajab or something. But it's not. Her name's Jessica Bowie. She's a 35-year-old white lady. How does a regular white lady in New York become radicalized by ISIS? And then apparently she planned to move to Syria after she blew up the New York State Capitol. This woman, I was just hearing about the story this morning. Professor Jacob alerted me to it. And he very

uncharitably dubbed her hijabah the hut. It's very, I would not do such a, she's kind of a bigger woman and she's wearing a hijab. And he called, anyway, he called her hijab of the hut. What's going on here? Is this a dovetail to the Lindsay Clancy story? Are women just totally nuts now? I don't think that's totally it. Is it purely about Islam? Islam is on the brink of taking over America and even the 35-year-old white ladies are converting.

I don't think it's really about that. I think the key to this story is in a line that you see in some of the reporting. One, she is a frequent social media user. The nuttyest women and the nuttiest men are the most online. That's just a fact. They are just when you are drawn into this virtual sort of mind-bending ecosystem that is a distortion of a perversion of sometimes an inversion of reality, you start to go nuts.

The way that people went trans five years ago was that they just got sucked into weird social media sites. We've done a number of interviews on this show about that. The way people get radicalized politically is almost exclusively online on the left and the right, but it's more pronounced on the left. So she's a frequent social media user. Okay, that makes sense. And this is the key quote. She says that she went from being a little girl waving the American flag after September 11th to having stickers of the falling towers to celebrating September 11th. How did that happen? The way that happened involves online radicalization, but it's not just a fringe incident. It's not just a one-off. What she is describing is what the most prominent thought leader on the left is doing himself. This reminds me immediately of Hassan Piker. Hassan Piker, who is this like rich kid, who's an anchor baby, he was born here, but then he grew up in Turkey. He comes back here. He becomes the darling of the left wing new media and establishment media. The New York Times is running all sorts of pieces about him. He's campaigning

with the major Democrat candidates for very high offices. Hassan Piker, who said, America deserves 9-11, and who just a month ago debuted a new set. piece right behind him on his set is a newspaper reporting on September 11th. The difference between Hijab of the Hut or Jessica Bowie and Hassan Piker is nil. The only difference is that Hassan Piker is kind of famous and Jessica Bowie also now is kind of famous, though she wasn't yesterday. That's the only difference. It would be very easy to say, okay, the FBI foils another Islamic terror attack. Yeah, you know, that happens, but, you know, we've been doing that for decades now and There's some fringe wackos everywhere, aren't there?

Oh, and it was weird as a white lady who converted. Yeah, it's kind of weird, but there are fringe wackos everywhere, aren't there? It's just the difference is that her behavior, her ideology, is indistinguishable from the most prominent people on the left. It's not just that the fringe people are violent, but the mainstream people are not. Asan Piker called to murder two U.S. senators and wants the streets to run red in capitalist blood. And he says all the same things that this woman says. he has the same stickers. This is not chiefly about women.

This is not chiefly about some psychotic woman in particular. This is not even chiefly about Islam. This is about the mainstream American left, which has been radicalized and is radicalizing many other people against the United States. If you took a poll of the DSA members in a moment of candor, or if you just look at the honest, forthright, thought leaders on the left, like Hassan Piker, credit where credits do, you would realize they support this woman. They support blowing up the New York State Capitol.

They support ISIS. They think America deserve 9-11. No difference here. So good on the FBI. I'm glad you caught this woman. I'm glad that the lawmakers in New York didn't get blown up. But you haven't solved the problem. That is a tiny little symptom of a deep rot that goes all the way down to the center of the

Democrat Party and the American left. Okay. Now, speaking of Islamic takeovers, the U.K. is trying to do something about this. The UK are brothers in the motherland. Our elder brothers in the political tradition are dealing with this much more acutely than we are. They have really been Islamified in the UK

and it's causing all sorts of social problems like murders and rapes and a two-tiered system of justice. So the UK is trying to do something about it and the way that they've decided to do something about it, they've issued a guide. This is so British. They don't have their cops carrying guns, they're not shooting terrorists in the street, they're not arresting the criminals, they're not deporting people.

They've just issued a little bit of a guide. You know, just a little bit of a handout. So just maybe, you know, just maybe give it a little read if you don't mind. If you speak English, I'd be fine. It's called understanding behaviors and expectations in the United Kingdom, a guide for asylum seekers. This comes from the home office. It's almost unbelievable. Like, I didn't, I didn't totally believe it when I saw it. I thought it was a meme. But no. So the first one, gender equality. In the UK, men and women have equal rights. and then it goes on, you know, here's, they do, women are allowed to do this. What is expected of you?

So this is immediately responding to a problem caused by the Muslim migrants. What is expected of you? Everyone in the UK is expected to treat men and women equally. Even if you're a family member like a husband, father, or brother, you must never stop a woman from working or studying, control what a woman wears or where she goes, stop a woman from seeing friends or family, make decisions for a woman without her agreement. You're not, look, even if she's your sister, you can't honor kill her because she walked out without her hijabye. You're just not, so I know different cultural expectations. I don't want to, we don't want to judge too much, you know, but you're not allowed. Please just consider not honor killing your sister, please.

Next one, domestic abuse. What is expected of you? You're expected to treat your partner and family with respect, let them control their own choices, never physically or verbally abuse or control them. So, which is what we expect. And, you know, no one's going to get it right all the time, right? But we're going to give it a shot. We just would prefer if you would maybe,

consider not beating your wife or your daughter or your sister. If you wouldn't, just pull the blows back, just a little bit. So that's domestic abuse. And then we have sex and consent. What is expected of you? You're expected to always make sure the other person freely and clearly agrees to sex or sexual contact, never use threat force or pressure to make someone have sex. Never try to have sex with someone who is asleep. Verbatim. Verbatim. Never try to have sex with someone who's asleep. Drunk or unable to consent clearly. Stop if they say no or change their mind. They also have a legal age of consent here, legal age of consent is 16. Apparently, the Muslims, well, we know this from the grooming gangs, a Pakistani rape gang scandal. They were raping children. So they said, you know,

age of consent is six. Just try to keep it to 16 year olds and up. And if you wouldn't mind, don't have sex with women who are asleep. And please, if you just, if you might consider not doing so much raping, that would be really just chipper. Wouldn't that be, yeah, thanks. If just thanks, take it under consideration, please. This is so British. It's delightful in a way. very anglophilic. I like the civilized, polite manner of the English. But while this is the most British way to fix the problem, they're not fixing a British problem. That's the real problem. They're using British means to fix an Islamic problem. But the Muslims and the Pakistanis, they don't play by the British rules. They're different. This is why we shouldn't have mass

migration because different peoples have different habits and religion and language and it just doesn't really work. So it's great. The British are fully living up to who they are. It's one of the things we love about them. Oh, yes, right. Sorry. Yeah, maybe would you just mind a little bit? Maybe just pulling back on the rape a little bit, please. Yeah. You think about that. Just that. Thanks. But you're not, you're not going to fix this problem the British way. And I fear it's going to be too late. the certain point. You're not going to, you're not going to fix some of the problems of mass migration the American way either. We Americans, we're a little, we're a little more violent, we're a little bit rougher, we're a little bit more blunt, we're not, we're not so,

you know, tawny and clubbable as the British, but you're not going to fix a lot of these problems the American way either. This is in fact why people elected a guy like Trump. Trump is, is an aberration in many ways from the American political tradition. He's also the fulfillment of the American political tradition. He's kind of like our Napoleon. He's a child of the revolution, but he's the undoing of the revolution. But they elected Trump for a very specific reason. They elected Trump because George H.W. Bush was not a man for this time. George H.W. Bush is a great guy. He's a great man. I know the opinions on the Bush family have declined in recent years. But just as a matter of character, George H.W. Bush is the archetype of a certain kind of

American man. You know, he wears his J. Press suits. He doesn't. He doesn't brag. He's very restrained. He's the wasp. He's the last of the wasps. And that was so great. That's one of the things we love about the American tradition. But those days are kind of over. Because of mass migration, because of a decay of the culture. It just didn't. We're past that now. And for these days, people voted for Trump because we feel like we need a guy like Trump, who's a little rougher, who's a little tougher, who's a little, he exercises authority a little bit more. He's a little more blunt. He's a little more He's a little more crude. He's more a man for this time. And the problems keep coming. The problem is that, you know, Trump, he's fighting up against all odds at a very, very late hour. But it's just simply a fact, you're not going to fix foreign problems with purely American solutions in the UK with purely British solutions. You have to respond to the real problems. You have to respond to changing circumstances. That's what politics is. Okay, we can see where the problems are really originating, and it's really not even chiefly the Muslims. The Muslims haven't changed. They haven't changed in 1,400 years. What has changed is our reaction to them. What has changed is that liberalism has corroded and eroded our society like an acid.

And so now we have to come up with new ways to deal with this. But it does come from leftism. That woman's radicalization came from leftism. It didn't come because she studied in a madrasse. and the radical left is on the move right now. They tell you they just want to give you health care. Meanwhile, you have drag queens mocking the murder of Charlie Kirk to raucous crowds, crowds who are representative of the mainstream left. We'll get to that momentarily.

First, I want to tell you about Brickhouse Nutrition. Go to take lean.com code Knowles, K&WLAS. I mentioned before that some people here at the Daily Wire have been trying Lean from Brickhouse Nutrition. Well, I have an update. They're looking even sexier. No, I have a more specific update. The guy I told you about last time who felt like he transformed from a whale to a dolphin, his report. He feels lighter on his feet, has more energy throughout the day. He's already gone down a pant size.

He keeps the lean jar on his desk. He's very diligent about taking them daily. He tells everyone about it. Lean was developed by doctors for people who are seriously trying to lose weight. We're talking about 10 pounds or more, not someone who's just trying to drop a couple vanity pounds before the weekend. Its studied ingredients are designed to support healthy blood sugar, fat metabolism, and appetite for craving control. If you've been hearing about the weight loss injections, but weekly injections are not for you, lean gives you another option to consider alongside a healthy diet and exercise plan.

They're back. The Mayflower Dawn of America, our special limited edition cigar for America 250 is back. We had a lot of boxes of these. I told you that they were going to be in high demand. I told you to order them if you wanted them. They sold out in less than 24 hours,

as I predicted. We got some back. They're at a handful of retailers, and now there's some available. online. Was this box not even open yet? It's so good. It's darn.

It's so good. Let me see if I can just pry it open. No, I can't because this box is too well made. They come in these beautiful tubes. It uses seven-year-aged, true Connecticut wrapper on the Dawn Blend. It's great. It's just a beautiful limited edition. Nice little band on it.

Just don't complain to me when they sell out. Must be 21 years older, older to order. Voidware prohibited conditions or exclusions apply. Woke 1 was crazy, says AOC. But Woke 2, that's very different. Woke 2. They won't tell you exactly how it differs. They won't tell you what about Woke 1 they're distancing themselves from. But they said, Woke 1 was great. All the stuff you hated about Woke 1

one, forget about it, woke two. We just want to give people health care. Here is a viral performance of drag queens mocking the murder of Charlie Kirk. Trump there. We got another one with Trump. Looks like he's got kind of blood or something coming out of his mouth.

Drag queens dancing. You have, I actually don't know. It's a black drag queen. I can't tell if that's like a... Okay, here we, man. This is the one. This is Charlie with blood coming out of his neck. and down as sure as they dance. Okay. Woke 1 was crazy.

Woke 1 was crazy. We just want to give people health care. The question you have to ask when AOC says, woke 1 was crazy is how was it crazy? And she won't answer. Was it crazy because they were transing the kids? Well, no, they still support that. Was it crazy because they wanted open borders? No, they still support that. Was it crazy because they would get you fired from your job if you were a white guy? And if you wouldn't wear the mask and if you wouldn't take their experimental drug and if you, no, no, they still support all that.

Was woke one crazy because the left supported political violence against conservatives that culminated in the very near assassination of President Trump and the successful assassination of our top political organizer Charlie Kirk? No. Have the numbers on the left's support vastly outsized support of political violence? Have they changed? Have they gone down at all? No. No. They say they just want to give you health care.

That is such a lie. it is disproven every day by all of their actions. But that has always been true of socialism. One of the big errors that people make when they think about socialism or communism is they think it's primarily economic. It's not. Socialism and communism are ultimately spiritual ideas, spiritual ideologies. Perversions of Christianity, inversions of Christianity.

They're very, very dark. They come from Karl Marx saying he wants the ruthless criticism of all that exists. It comes from him quoting Gertes Faust, who says that everything that exists deserves to perish. What it comes down to is ultimately resentment and envy. They say they just want to raise a little bit of money from really rich New Yorkers. When Zohran Mamdani implements that policy, he includes not just 31,000 New Yorkers, he includes a million New Yorkers, and he doxes them to mobs that are already very violent following in the wake of Luigi Mangione, who murders Brian Thompson,

a perfectly innocent husband, father, he just happened to be a health care CEO. He was murdered in cold blood, and the left supported him. That's what it's about. They want to kill you. It's the Lindsay Clancy phenomenon across an entire political movement.

That's what's going on. Oh, woke 1.0 was crazy. Oh, you just want to give people health care? Hey, what do you think about that drag queen performance where they're mocking the murder of Charlie Kirk? Why aren't you answering? Where are you going? Where are you going? How was woke one crazy? What was crazy about it? Where are you going? I think we all know the answer. Okay. Now, speaking of wokeness, it really never went away. It lay dormant. They're trying to abide their time until they can

get political power after the midterms. But there was a meme going around yesterday. It was another one. I didn't believe. So I had to check it out myself. If you're on Google right now, if you're sitting at your desk listening to this, just pull up Google. If you're driving, pull over. You could wait until you get to wherever you're going. But just pull this up. Google, I am alone with a black person. When you Google, I'm alone with a black person, here is what AI, Gemini, Google's AI system comes up with. Being alone with a black person is a normal everyday situation. Treat them like any other human being by relaxing, being polite, and talking normally. Race does not change how, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Then Google, I'm alone with a white person. Do we have it? Yeah, I'm

I'm alone with a white person. AI, Gemini, Google overview. If you feel unsafe or uncomfortable right now, please let me know or find a safe public space. If you'd like, tell me, are you feeling unsafe or threatened in this situation? What is the setting you're in right now? I can help you figure out what to do or how to get help.

I'm alone with a black person. That's normal. It's totally normal. What's wrong with you? Are you racist? Why are you telling them that? I'm alone with a white person. Run!

You know, because of those notoriously, physically violent white people. Right. Okay, so what does this tell us? It doesn't tell us a lot about crime statistics, but what it tells us about is that Woke never went away, all of the hideous and false racial assumptions

that went along with Woke are still there. And this is the crucial part. They are still being promoted by the most powerful people on Earth. By the most powerful companies on Earth, by the most powerful politicians on Earth, who right now are in the minority party, but they're poised to come back into the majority,

at least in the House of Representatives, maybe in the Senate. We'll see how the governor's races go. It's all still there. And they want to kill you, and they want drag queens to jiggle around and dance and make fun of your murder, while hundreds of them cheer and dance.

Nothing has changed. So the question you have to ask, I know Republicans are really worried about the midterms because the MAGA coalition seems to have shrunk. The poll numbers are not looking good. In part, this is because the economic progress that we were seeing in the first part of the Trump administration, massive new investment in America, $17 trillion, new investment in America. You saw some good returns from the tariff plan until, unfortunately,

the Supreme Court struck down 75% of the tariffs. You saw pretty good numbers on the on the deportations, what is it, about a million and a half deportations formally so far, with some self-deportations as well, numbers that still don't take a huge chunk out of the problem, but they're very impressive for a year and a half into the administration. You saw, all this good stuff, record high stock market, all this stuff. The Iran war slowed a lot of that down. And you can debate the Iran war, but that that has diminished Republican enthusiasm for the midterms. And you say, ah, Trump should have deported more people. I didn't, I don't like his Iran policy. I get it. Whatever. Yeah, we all have criticisms. I get it. The thing that

impelled people to the polls to vote for Trump in 2024. was the left, that the left had lost the common sense, that the left had become violent, that the left had upended our political norms, that the left was prosecuting the leader of the opposition party four different times trying to get him removed from the ballot. The left, in other words, posed an existential political threat to our system. That's what got you to the polls in November. And everyone has high hopes for a new president, and the president inevitably disappoints in some ways because any president of either party can never totally live up to expectations.

But the thing to keep in mind is that thing that you voted against, that thing that shocked you so much that Trump won the popular vote, that thing hasn't changed. That threat is as urgent as ever. And so it's not just you shouldn't flip political parties. Obviously you shouldn't. That would be insane. But even if you're just feeling like you don't, you're not enthusiastic about going to the polls.

recognize that is a completely illogical conclusion, no matter what criticisms you have of how the first couple years of the Trump administration played out, that existential threat that you identified is still there. It is growing stronger. It is becoming even more radical. They're campaigning with the guy who loves 9-11 and wants to murder you. If Republicans don't show up in November, I get it. I understand how politics works. Politics exclusively cares about your feelings, but the facts haven't changed. And we need to wake people's feelings up to that fact. Okay. My favorite, my favorite comment yesterday. Before we get to that, I want to tell you about heaven in stone and glass. Go check out heaveninstoneandglass.com. When Notre Dame caught fire in

2019, something revealing happened. The entire world stopped to watch. Catholics, certainly. Christians did. but also millions of thoroughly secular people who suddenly found themselves mourning the destruction of a cathedral. Why? Because even modern man, despite all its best efforts, still recognizes the sacred when he sees it. That is part of what Bishop Robert Barron explores in his new documentary, Heaven and Stoning Glass. He travels through five of France's great Gothic cathedrals and examines what these buildings were actually created to do. They're not museums, they're not tourist attractions, they certainly were not just very elaborate construction projects, They were theology in stone and glass.

Really, really important. This movie is based on a book that Bishop Barron wrote. I actually did the audio book for this book. It's an amazing, amazing journey. So rich, so important for everyone in the West and beyond the West to pay attention to. Every arch, window, image, soaring ceiling was meant to direct man's attention upward to communicate something about God and man's relationship to him. Whether you're interested in theology, history, architecture, simply beautiful things. You got to check this out.

Heaven and Stone and Glass comes to theaters nationwide. September 20th and 23rd. Find tickets at heaven in stone and glass.com. And for parish or group tickets, go to heaven in stone and glass. com slash group. I didn't pick the comment. The producers did. We'll see how it goes.

This is from Alex Yeager, 79.95. Michael, you have no idea how much money I would pay to see you debate Hassan Piker. Yeah, maybe we should. I'm really torn on this. Let me know in the comments if we should propose a debate with Hassan Piker. I'm torn. I think I've met Hassan Piker before. I think we've done like little local TV stuff.

before. I think I, he and I were a Politicon many, this is all many years ago, before he became really prominent and before he became really the thought leader of the left. I'm really torn on whether or not to invite Hassan Piker to a debate, a bar fight or something like that, because I'm all for debating people, but I'm not a free speech absolutist, and I think that some things are beyond the realm of debate. I think that speech can be perverted to undermine free speech. My conclusion after Charlie was murdered was something I've been thinking for a long time, which is that you can't have an open marketplace of ideas when bandits keep shooting up the marketplace. So the people who are using the First Amendment to undermine the First Amendment, the people who are threatening violence, the people who are using the heckler's veto, the people who are disrupting our whole system, they should be excluded from it.

So really, I think Hassan Piker should be imprisoned or deported or both. I don't really think he should be entertained for a debate. However, there is the political reality that he is the intellectual leader of the left right now. He is the intellectual leader of the Democrat Party. So maybe he should come for a debate. I don't know. I'm torn. Let me know if you think I should invite Hassan Piker for a debate. I'm torn on it, okay?

I'm conflicted. I contain multitudes. I have so much more to get to. So much more. But I have to get to you. It's finally, finally my favorite time of the week, the mailbag, which is sponsored by Peartalk at PeartTalk.com. slash Noel Kennedy W. L.I.S. to make the switch to my favorite wireless company. Take it away.

Hey, Michael. I'm a young straight, white Christian guy, so, you know, basically Hitler. And there's a line of thought that's often espoused in my niche internet circle. And no, I'm not talking about the Grapers circle. Where the common ethos is, if my principles do not guide me or actively betray me in self-preservation, then what good are my principles? I see the U.S. falling into this exact issue. We're all familiar with the communist subversion and all our major institutions, but are simultaneously bound to inaction through things like freedom of speech or in other cases religion. Shout out Professor Jacob for teaching me about Medina. Is this a matter of lacking the political will or of political capital? I struggle with the concept of extending our principles to those we

would consider enemies of U.S. civilization and cannot for the life of me understand the inaction against groups like Antifa who threaten people's lives with impunity. The law, as you say, is a teacher, and that teacher seems to be long since absent. Okay, good question. There's a lot in there, but I think what you're asking is, should we throw out American principles? Because as we have applied those principles, they have posed an existential threat to the country. You know, there's a classic maximum of political philosophy, which is that the man who saves his country violates no law. That the ultimate law is the good of the flourishing, the health of the people. So, does, is the problem our principles? And I would say, no. The problem is not that we have principles when we should throw them out. The problem is that we misunderstand our principles. So there's this kind of debate. Do we just, do we shred the Constitution? You know, that was just a mistake. Throw it all at. Doesn't work. Or do we, you know, give total free speech rights to people who

are shooting up universities? No, the problem is that we misunderstand our principles. We want to follow true principles, and we can come to true political principles in part through our reason and in part through our political experience and tradition, because our stock of reason is relatively small. So I wouldn't say that the fact that people keep attacking conservative speakers at universities is why we should throw out the First Amendment. I would say that we need to understand the First Amendment, because the First Amendment doesn't protect that. The fact that America has taken in immigrants over the years does not mean that we need to throw out the American political tradition when it comes to immigrants. It's that we need to understand

it because for a lot of American history, we haven't really taken any immigrants at all. We're not a nation of immigrants. We should not have open borders. We are a real nation. John Jay writes about this beautifully in Federalist No, among many other framers and founders of our country. No, there are limits to what it means to be an American. A lot of what we think of now as our principles is just a liberal retconning from the latter part of the 20th century. So when we return to a more authoritative, tougher, classical conception of politics, it's not that we're throwing out our American principles. It's that we're recovering those American principles. Okay, next question. Hey, Michael. My husband's father passed away last year and in his honor, my husband's going to be in a

sanctioned boy tie kickboxing fight he's been training um his ring name that he's chosen is sanctus and yes that would be from the trisagion prayer uh hopefully i'm pronouncing that right anyway we have three kids and he's 41 so i'm just a little nervous he is very good i just don't want him to get hurt um but also i'm very supportive because this is something he's always wanted to do and it's for in honor of his dad. And also, now he listens to you. I have been a fan for a long time and sent another voicemail backs. And now he is, he's listening with me. Wooop. All right. Thanks. Okay, good, good prompt, good husband. Clearly you as well. You're both clearly have excellent, excellent taste and judgment and discernment. So the question is, should my husband do this,

this Muay kickboxing match? condolences, obviously, sorry to hear about his father. Yeah, yeah, that sounds cool. It sounds cool. The real underlying question here is, when a man has responsibilities, should he do cool things? Should he take risks? You could apply your question just as much to should a husband and a father quit his stable job to start a company? It's really the same question.

You're taking on risk, and that risk will fall in some way to your family. should the guy do it? And the answer is, yeah, you got to take risks. This is life. You can't just kick back and be a couch potato and give up on everything. That would be bad and scandalous for your family too. You just don't want to be reckless. So I guess a way to frame it would be, there is a different answer to the question of should your husband do the kickboxing match or should I do the kick. I should not go in and fight a professional kickboxer because I will die. And then my family will go hungry. So I should not do it. Your husband, it sounds like, is like a big gig of chat and has been training at this and really wants to do it. And he's taking it very seriously. So if he's been

trained, then yeah, he should do it. That sounds cool, unless he's going to die, in which case he shouldn't do it. This is just, this is really a matter of prudence. But yeah, guys got to take risk. It's great that you say, I support my husband and this. Because, you know, a nagging wife, man. It's like, what does proverb say? It's like a leaky roof. You know, it really can, it can ruin your life. I mean, it can really just mess it up. And so you don't want to, hold your husband back from things that he should be doing and risks he should be taking. That's good. You have the right attitude. Sounds like your husband has the right attitude. If he needs a corner man, I'm, you know, I am a sort of legendary corner man for Smiley and Sam Alvey

at Karate Combat, but you can send that in next week. Okay, next question. Michael, I have a burning question as a young Catholic mom of three. My husband is probably going to hear your answer before me when he listens to your show on his drive to work. I've been delving into daily mass with all three kids in tow. I have a 10-month-old girl, two-year-old boy, and four-year-old girl. Two was always tough, but my boy is an absolute bulldozer. If he gets too disruptive, I obviously take him out of church, but in terms of using the kneelers, asking me questions, brief tantrums that are resolved quickly, I don't. I want to hear your take on kids during the Catholic Mass. Are they to be seen and not heard, or if the church isn't crying, it's dying? The elderly congregation has mixed opinions. Thanks.

Yes, the answer to your questions is yes. The only physical training I get, I don't do Muay Thai or kickboxing or anything, but I do wrestle my children every Sunday at Mass. So I'm familiar with your problem. Yeah, there's two solutions to this that people offer. Once again, you know, virtue is the median between two extremes, as St. John Henry Newman would point out to us, as Aristotle would point out to us. So the two extremes are don't take the kid to Mass, or if you have the kid to Mass, take them to a cry room, which a lot of like modern, suburban, hideous churches have. So just do essentially remove the kid from Mass the whole time. or let the kid shriek and scream during the consecration in the homily and just everyone has to deal with it.

But the middle ground is, no, no, I don't, I'm very anti-cry room. I'm very anti-sending kids somewhere else during mass. I think you need to train them from a young age to be in mass. That's very important to shape their souls and their behavior. But you can't let them just shriek and ruin the mass for everybody. Not ruin the mess, but make it very difficult to concentrate. So what you have to do is let them like ask a question or something and then say, stop it. Be quiet. You got when they start lying down on the kneeler, you got to lift them up,

put him back in their seat. And when the two-year-old starts crying, you let it go for about three to five seconds and then you remove him to the back and your husband has to sit with the rest of the kids or the eldest has to watch. And you just have to do that. And you just have to play that game the whole mass. And it is distracting for you. But it is distracting for you. But it It is this via media between you need the kids to be in mass. You should have the kids in mass. I guess there's no obligation. And you want to be respectful because this is the house of God.

It's even like people sometimes like, how should I dress for church? And there are these two radical extremes, which is, you know, God takes us as we are. And you can wear flip flops and yoga pants. And it's like, whatever, man. Stop being so judgy. You know, peace, man. There's like that few. And then there's the view that you need to wear a stroller suit with a top hat every Sunday and look like a fop or a dandy.

And the real answer is, you need to wear your best. You need to wear your best. You don't need to wear a $5,000 Armani suit to mass. You don't need to. You should just wear your best. And if the best clothing that you have is, you know, an old polo shirt and she knows, so be it. though, you can get like a jacket and a shirt. You can get these things for relatively cheap, but you should just wear your best. Because the way to think about it is if I were going to meet the governor,

if I were going to meet a big CEO, I would dress for it. If I were going to meet the president of the United States, especially, I would dress for that. I put on my best suit, put on my best tie, comb my hair, make sure I was looking really good. When you go to Mass, you're meeting God in a very real physical way. So however you would dress to meet the president of the United States, again, you wouldn't dress like a total fop for that either. You just dress appropriately for the occasion. That's the same thing. It's that kind of, it's that via media. That's what you want to follow.
