The Lindsay Clancy jurors are finally speaking out. What they have to say will have you ready to campaign for the abolition of trial by jury. All while Lindsay Clancy's lawyer begs President Trump to pardon the woman who murdered her three little kids. Then a UC Irvine professor calls for the murder of conservative journalist Nick Shirley on the anniversary of Charlie Kirk's murder. And the left and right come together as everyone from Democrat Senate candidate James Talariko to right-wing star Milo Yanopoulos embrace Islam. Asalam al-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-am. I'm Michael Knowles. It's the Michael Knowles show.

Welcome back to the show amid all of the carnage and dark news stories. The White House is Mary posting, okay? I just want to call your attention. We'll get into it if we have time. Yesterday was the nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, according to the traditional Christian liturgical calendar. And the White House was wishing a happy birthday to the Blessed Virgin Mary. This is a real change.

I think some of the ardent Calvinists who founded our country probably would be pretty shocked to see that. This is great news. I love this. This is great. Because really, I don't think it's the Calvinists who are taking umbrage here. I think it's the secularists and the leftists and the atheists who are furious at the White House's Mary posting. I want to repeal the 22nd Amendment. Before we get into anything, I want to tell you about Good Ranchers. Go to Good Ranchers.com slash Knowles, Canada, W.LAS. People talk constantly about supporting American industry. Here's an extremely easy way to do it. Eat American beef. The other reason that you should do that, specifically, with good ranchers is that it is the most delicious. I have been eating good ranchers for how many years now. And I love the people who run the company. I love that it supports American farms and ranchers. I love that they don't pump it full of a bunch of gross stuff. I love that they don't use all sorts of weird ingredients. I love that the prices cannot be beat. But mostly I love that it's the best beef you're going to get. I had last night, I mixed it up a little bit. We always eat the steaks and the Waggie burgers the best you ever going to have. I had the sausage,

which comes in the Michael Null's bundle from Good Ranch. Sausages, delicious. And I had it with a little bit of pasta and broccoli and little alioio. It was good. Okay, this month I'm making a very easy to stock the freezer. Go to Goodranchers.com slash knolls. Get a free four-pound bundle of 100% American Angus ground beef with your first order.

These Lindsay Clancy jurors, the story was that 11 jurors wanted to let Lindsay Clancy off the hook for murdering her three kids.

And there was one lone holdout. A lone holdout who the defense attorney identified as a man, said, you know, all the women want to do the right thing by letting this triple infanticidal murderer off the hook. But this one man, this patriarchal man, wouldn't let Lindsay Clancy off the hook. And so we, I'll speak for myself. I concocted in my mind an image of the jurors as these awful crone

leftist women who want to let a baby murderer, a child murderer off the hook. I had this every awful stereotype about every left-wing woman. I had all of those caricatures in my head. Now

the jurors are speaking out and whatever caricature you were thinking of, it didn't go far enough. Here's just a little tour through the jury pool. His whole demeanor was funny. And there was one time, whatever he said, I don't know, but I went... She's talking about the lawyer for Lindsay Plank.

Which was good because we needed some of that. In arrogant at the same time. Yes. Like, arrogant and entertaining. He would go back and forth between that. Yeah. Like compassionate. Yes.

with his arrogance. His compassion towards Lindsay was amazing. It was amazing. They're talking about the defense attorney, the lawyer for Lindsay Clancy. Yeah, he was really funny. He was just really, and I mean, one time,

I don't want to, I giggled in the, you know, he was very into, but arrogant. Ooh, he was a bad boy. Ooh, he was naughty. He was a bad boy. He was being kind of arrogant,

but compassionate too. He's just, oh, so anyway, that's why, need to let the triple murderer out of jail. Because, you know, that lawyer, this is like every, again, I really want to be moderate in my commentary here. I don't want, I don't want to give in to all of the, but this is like one of the arguments against women on juries. This is what, one of the arguments is they're just swayed too much by emotion and by feeling. And so they don't, they're not thinking

rationally. And these women are saying, yeah, that's right. He was just so charming. What a dreamy defense attorney. Ooh. Ooh, you know, he was like funny, but he was kind of mean, but he was kind of sweet. And I love him and I hate him. And I love him and I hate. Anyway, he was just a doll. We loved him. So that's why we wanted to exonerate Lindsay Clancy. Okay. Tip of the iceberg, folks. Tip of the iceberg. Because then they turn their ire to the one male, juror who would not say that Lindsay Clancy was not guilty. We read to him on numerous occasions, the definition of reasonable doubt from Judge Sullivan's instruction. He actually said one day in the end, well, why don't we have the judge come in and

read it again? And we were like, no, we have it in front of us. We don't need that. And we would highlight it. And, you know, so-and-so, this is the definition of reason about. But he had the hardest time getting off the fact that Lindsay viciously killed her children. Did you catch that line at the end there? This is the line. I mean, this is

what is going to make these women infamous. That line in the end, he said, she says, yeah, you know, this guy's so annoying because we just really wanted him to vote with us, but he wouldn't vote with us. And, you know, he just had the hardest time getting over the fact that Lindsay viciously killed her children.

I have a hard time getting over that too. Don't you? Don't you have a hard time getting over the fact that Lindsay viciously killed her children? Because by the way, I want to steal me in the argument. The argument from the defense is, yeah, she killed all her kids, but she was totally out of control. You know, she wasn't in her right mind. She had a brief spurt of psychosis, even though she didn't have a previously documented history of psychosis. She wasn't diagnosed with postpartum depression. She'd never claimed to hear a schizophrenic or demonic voice before, and she methodically planned out all the murders, and she carried out all the murders, and she wasn't even on all that many drugs. And even though, even though, even though, nevertheless, we would say, because she may have had

this fit of psychosis, we have to exonerate her. We have to enter a not guilty plate. But this woman undermines that when she goes, she viciously killed all her kids. It's not just that she killed all her kids in a spur of the moment fit of psychosis. She viciously killed all her kids. Vicious here, I think, referring not only to the method of killing, which is the strangulation with the exercise cord, but also the fact that it was obviously planned out. She sent her husband out of the house. It wasn't just a fit of passion or psychosis. It would appear from the evidence. It was a little a little more planned out than all of that. So when the juror says, the male juror had trouble getting over the fact that she viciously killed her kids. Yeah, right. He shouldn't get over that fact.

That's a materially important fact for the case. Then these women can't stop talking. They admit that they engaged in improper behavior as jurors to reach their decision. He was very arrogant. He really did not take anything that anybody said. the nurses he he tried to ask a question about the medications and we went back to the report from south floor hospital we had the toxicology report we could see exactly the amounts the nurses in the room spoke to that and talked to the jury there were nurses on the jury yes they spoke to that that specific thing that was a question that he had and he just completely discus You just, so right there, the whole argument from the lady jurors, these witches who were in the trial, is that the lone man who refused to let the baby child murderer off the hook, that lone man, he was being improper in how he was a juror. He was engaging in methodological errors. He was refusing to come to the correct conclusion according to the guidelines from the judge. But this woman just admits that she and all the rest of these ladies did exactly the same thing. They actually did something worse because right there she says, yeah, we had the toxicology report. And so we turned to the wise nurse women on the jury and we asked them to explain to us what the toxicology report meant.

You're not allowed to do that. When you're on a jury, you are only to consider the evidence presented in court. You're not allowed to bring in outside supposed expert testimony. That's why we have procedures for expert testimony. to be given in court. You can't do that. That totally undermines the credibility of the jury, not that there really was very much up until this point. She's admitting. She says, no, no, no, forget about what we heard in the trial. We had the wisdom of the nurses on the jury trying to explain to this man who just wouldn't get it that we need to let Lindsay Clancy off the hook.

So right there, whatever improper behavior you want to accuse the, the male juror of, which I think is preposterous. But their argument is they say, well, he knew that there could have been a reasonable doubt, but he voted guilty anyway. And so now we have this mistrial. Whatever improper behavior you want to accuse the male juror of, plausible or implausible, this woman is admitting that the rest of the ladies on the jury were behaving in a totally inappropriate manner. Keep going.

Completely disregarded the information that they gave. I mean, he had reasonable doubt. he admitted he had reasonable doubt after we watched that video of the interview, I think that's when it was. He admitted he had reasonable doubt. I started filling out the forms. I was so excited.

So excited! There were three forms I had to fill out. When I started filling them out, I wrote my signature on each one and then he said, but I'm still not going to say that she's not guilty by reason of insanity. I'm not sure if Rogue is

the right word, Sue. I think he's rogue, this man who wouldn't listen to the women. I was so excited. I was about to start filling out the farms in Harvard Yard. I was so happy. I couldn't have been more thrilled to let Lindsay Clancy free after she killed all her kids. But then this one man, if it wasn't for you rotten kids and your dumb dog to, we would have let Lindsay clear free. This guy, we need a presidential medal of free.

freedom for this guy. We need this guy. The one man. He is the meme. He is the man standing up in the town hall in the Norman Rockwell painting. One man against the mob saying no. Sorry ladies. Sorry, madame, which is we are not going to let Lindsay Clancy free. I am truly, I am like two clips away, two Lindsay Clancy jury clips away from campaigning for the abolition of trial by jury. This is devastating. These clips are devastating. I'm very pro-woman, as you know. I know there are some people who legitimately are misogynistic on the right.

I am not one of them. I'm very pro-woman. I'm very excited about the fact that the White House posted for the Blessed Virgin or his birthday yesterday, which we'll get to. I'm very, very pro-woman. These clips are devastating for women. This is like really, the whole trial. The whole fact that you have these hordes of witches going on TikTok

and defending Lindsay Clancy for killing her kids. And then the jurors who were just doing everything they can. One of the jurors admitted that one member of the jury was trying to bully the holdout man from day one to let her off the hook. Devastating, really brutal for the perception of women, really brutal for the perception of juries. I mean, I guess these women are a jury of Lindsay Clancy's peers. I guess in a certain reading of that phrase, they certainly are. It's also devastating for democracy because democracy is just that jury to the scale of 330 million people. That really, oh, man, pretty blackpilling.

And by the way, they were all swooning over that lawyer. We've even even gotten to the lawyer. The lawyer who is now asking President Trump for a pardon. There's just one problem. We'll talk about that in a second. First, I want to tell you about Pure Talk. Go to puretalk.com slash Knowles, Kennaw, LAS. I have two questions for you first.

would you give your wireless company five stars? Second, are you paying more than $34.99 a month for unlimited data? If your answers are absolutely not, and unfortunately, yes, we have a problem. Because in a recent industry survey, Pure Talk was the only wireless company to receive five stars in every category, coverage, support, value, and data. This is the last week to take advantage of one of the best offers they've ever had until the end of this week. Pure Talk is offering unlimited data for just $15 a month for your first three months.

15 bucks. After that, unlimited data starts as low as 3499 a month with no contract. I've had my Pure Talk phone and service for six years now. It is the best price. It is on the best towers. And I know you think that sounds like, oh, it's on a pretty good network or whatever. No, no, it's the best one. It's the best one out there. The reason that the prices can be low is because they don't have a bazillion brick and mortars and they're not passing all those costs onto you. They're great people. They support what you support. I cannot recommend them highly. enough. Go to PureTalk.com.com slash Knowles to make the switch to my favorite wireless company, Pure Talk. That is, puretalk.com slash Noles, $15 a month for your first three months, only through the

end of this week. Here is the man who had all the lady jurors swooning in the Clancy trial. This is the defense attorney. What's next for Lindsay? I'd like to say that perhaps Donald Trump, who felt compelled to speak out about this case, made very well. Mr. President, I would hope that you would consider this young lady, the type of person she is, what she's been through, and consider a pardon. Okay. Do you know what the problem is with this request? Do you see that?

I mean, I guess a lot of people say, well, the first thing is, I don't think Trump wants to let this child killer free. I don't think he wants to pardon her. But you know, you understand the bigger problem. Lindsay Clancy is facing state criminal charges, not federal charges. not federal charges. She didn't commit federal crimes. She committed state crimes. So President Trump has no ability to pardon her. He can only pardon people for federal crimes. And he has sweeping pardon power. Joe Biden proved that when he pardoned all of his friends and relatives for any crime they may or may not have committed at the federal level for 10 years. But even that kind of sweeping

pardoned doesn't touch the state charges. This is why there was a move to pardon Derek Chauvin of the federal civil rights charges that were against him in the killing of George Floyd. But that actually probably wouldn't have helped Derek Chauvin because he still had all the state charges. So he would have gone to state prison, which would probably be worse than federal prison. So it raises this question. Is Lindsay Clancy's lawyer that dumb? Does Lindsay Clancy's lawyer not know the difference being a federal charge and a state charge? Or is he just extremely deceitful? And I think, I want to give him the benefit of the So I think it's obviously the latter.

I don't, I mean, you can't, it's not just that you can't be a practicing lawyer for decades without knowing the difference between a federal and a state charge. Like you couldn't, you couldn't pass the bar, you couldn't get out of your first year of law school, you couldn't score very well on the L-SAT. You couldn't, I don't know, you probably couldn't get out of undergraduate if you don't know the difference. So he's obviously just being deceitful here. This is a big media stunt because the facts of the case are squarely against Lindsay Clancy.

And so what is he doing here? He knows that he's headed in for another trial. So he's trying to create a political circus, even more of a political circus around a Lindsay Clancy trial, to taint another jury pool. Really gross stuff. I mean, you got to give the guy a little bit of credit. Game, got to respect game.

He's doing a pretty good job for his client who murdered her kids in cold blood. But the rest of us, I don't think we need to give a lot of respect to the jurors or the TikTok ladies who have gone nuts over this. Okay, we'll move on from crazy women in a second, but there's one last bit that we have to get to. A woman has gone viral. A millennial woman and wife has gone viral for mocking her husband on Instagram,

specifically through the act of getting a haircut. There's one thing about me. I don't like to be told what to do. Never have. Never will. Sorry, don't care who you are. Don't tell me what to do. So if you want me to do something, you're going to have to say that.

opposite and trip me into doing that, whatever it is you want me to do. But anyway, my husband didn't like my haircut the other day. He didn't say he didn't like it, but in a roundabout way he did. He said, I got my hair cut colored, okay? I come home. He says, hmm, what do you mean? Hmm, what's him mean? He said, much shorter, huh?

Sure did, obviously. Yeah, I did. Does that mean you don't like it or? He said, no, no, it's fine. It's fine. Shorter. If you say shorter one more time, I will buzz my head. All off, clean off.

Bye. I would not say shorter again, sir. I didn't cut it for you. And I'm also not going to grow it out for you. I don't do it for you. I do it for me. So, I don't know. Is anybody else like this, or is it just me?

I don't know. This is what I'm watching. Every day. almost every single day I wake up and I thank God for sweet little Alisa. You know, I think of all the ways my life could have gone down the wrong path. There are many ways it could have gone down the wrong path. And I think, oh my goodness, thank you, Lord, that I have sweet little Alisa and that I rarely have to interact with women who have this sort of attitude. The most charitable take I could muster when I saw this was, oh, you know what, I bet it's a bit.

I bet she's not even married. She's probably a comedian. She's just trying to build some brand. Maybe that's the case, but she's got more videos. And the thing is, I've met enough wives who are like this. Maybe, I'm not going to say the majority of wives. I know a lot of wives, though, who are like this, that it is totally plausible that this woman is actually married and actually is threatening to shave her head because she hates her husband so much. Here's just one more little taste of her uve.

comments were insane that i'm a bad wife because i cut my hair even though my husband didn't like it news flash it's not 1874 it is 2026 i will cut my hair if i want to cut my hair my hair my hair's always been short when my husband and i got married it was short it only got long when i had four pregnancies back to back and then i decided after i was done being pregnant that was enough of the long hair i didn't want a day more too heavy too hot too much taking I didn't want it. So I cut it off. I mean, he might like it longer. Sure. Do I care? Not really. Nope. Because he married me because he loved me. He didn't marry me because he liked my hair. Weird. Also, he does not get to tell me what to do with my makeup, my hair, how I dress. Like, he knows, no. I might ask

ask his opinion, but most of the time I'm probably not going to listen to his opinion on any of it. That's just who I am. I'll ask my sisters their opinions too, and usually I do the opposite. It is what it is. You guys are insane. Acting like I should only do things for my husband. I will only color my hair for my husband. Okay. No, I do not do that. Okay. Okay. Let's start from the beginning.

Ladies, I know. All women, especially once they have kids, they all want to cut their hair. They all want to cut their hair. And in part it's because the little kids pull at the hair. I get it. ladies, if you can bear, not, don't cut your hair. No man wants you to cut your hair ever, basically. This is, I don't, maybe your husband is honest with you and tells you that. Maybe your husband is, he's a little bit more on a little bit on the beta side and doesn't want to upset you. But I'm, I am speaking for all husbands right now. No one ever wants you to cut your hair. Keep your, we want your hair to be long, not short. Okay. That's,

the first part. But you say, okay, maybe you have some reason why you think I'd really have this special circumstance. I have to cut my hair. Okay. If that is the case, you might talk to your husband about it. I don't know that I would change my hairstyle if I didn't talk to my wife about it. I'm not going to ask her permission to chip, but I might mention it. I had some radical change in my appearance. She says my husband fell in love with me, not with my hair. But your hair is part of you because you and your body are not totally distinct, because we don't live in some sort of gnaustic world where, you know, where our true selves are entrapped by the prison of the body or something crazy.

We're just, you know, we're humans. We're body and soul. So that's the second part. Yeah, your hair actually, it seems minor, but it kind of matters. You know, it's part of you. The third part, which is the more important part. She says, yeah, I don't like being told what to do. You don't say.

I don't like being told what to do. Okay. And you know what? I don't cut my hair for my hair. husband. I don't live for my husband. I don't do. I'm not doing it because I care about my husband's opinion. It's not for him. That's true. But it is for someone. It's for you on the internet. It's for us. It's for me, I guess. She's doing it for me to get my clicks. And it worked because now I'm putting her on my show. The real, the, really the first question that you have to ask when you see

these videos, and there are so many videos, this one just happens to have recently gone quite viral. Why is this woman on TikTok? Why? Again, I don't, I don't mean this. Like, I'm not a misogynist. I'm very pro-woman. I love the ladies. They call me a simp sometimes. I like the ladies so much. But why, what is she after? What does she want to get out of TikTok or Instagram or any social media where she is just filming herself complaining about and emasculating her husband. Imagine her husband's friends or her kids see this scrolling through social media. What is she one, that's very offensive to all of them. It shows a great deal of disrespect to all of them.

But forget about that. What does she want? She wants to please you a stranger. She wants to get an updute like from you a stranger. I don't care about the approval of my husband. I care about the approval of a stranger. It's not that she doesn't care about anyone's approval. If she didn't care about anyone's approval, she wouldn't have TikTok.

It is simply that she has inverted. She's traded a higher love for a lower love, a higher good for a lower good. I don't care what my husband thinks. Screw my husband. He's a big jerk. I care about what you a random stranger think. The ladies, and I've talked to women about it, I've talked to female friends about this, and they're in agreement.

The ladies need to get off social media. They can watch social. social media. Like, again, I'm not, especially the Michael Null show, that's all good. But if you are filming yourself complaining about your husband, if you're filming, especially with the kids, if you're filming your kids and posting pictures of your kids to social media, maybe just ask yourself, what are you doing that for? I know, I'll tell you what you're doing it. You're doing it because your kids are really cute. And so you want to document that, but that doesn't explain why you post it. That explains why you take the picture. That doesn't explain why you post it.

you post it to social media because you have this good and you want to show it off to the rest of the world. That's a perfectly human trait. That's a perfectly natural thing. But what you are doing is you are instrumentalizing your kids into a tool for your own adulation from strangers. That's weird. That's bizarre. All these videos of these women, it's basically all women who are like talking about their kids. They're teenage kids sometimes.

their younger kids, certainly, telling all these embarrassing stories. What they're saying is, I don't care about a relationship of trust with my kid. I don't care about the privacy of my kid. I don't care about the dignity of my kid. I'm willing to trade all of that for the likes of random strangers. This is that graph, the heat graph, of where the right versus the left prioritize their loves. This is what the vice president was talking about when he brought up the Ordo Amori's the order of love about a year ago, which is that the left cares about people that are much

further away from them. They might be nasty to their families. And statistically, they are more likely to cut off their family, to cut off friendships over politics, they're less likely to donate to their communities or to volunteer for their actual local communities. But they will, at least in their own minds, care much more about people on the other side of the world. They'll care much more about a stranger than they will about their sibling. And for right, it's the opposite. The right might not care that much about the guy on the other side of the world, but they do care more about their community. And this is borne out in reams and reams of social scientific data. That is disordered. So really the basic advice here, we've been tough enough

on the ladies today. Though, you know, come on. Listen, we're in the Clancy era. We've got to be realistic. You should care what your husband thinks. You should care more about your husband than you care about a stranger. You should care more about your kids than you care about a stranger. you should you should have a hard time to bring it back to the Lindsay Clancy story you should have a hard time getting over the fact that she viciously killed her kids

to quote the juror you should have a hard time with that and you should, it's not that you need to totally change everything about your life it's not that you need to suppress your true self it's not that you need to make sure that your loves are properly ordered

The White House is Mary posting. Yesterday, I had actually forgotten this for most of yesterday. Yesterday is the nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. So this is traditionally understood in the liturgical calendar for Christians. This is Mary's birthday. And, you know, I'm somewhat. a shame to admit that for most of the day I had forgotten this. The White House posts, Happy Birthday Mary, Queen of Victories. So not just Happy Birthday Mary, Mary the mother of God,

but Happy Birthday Mary, with one of her many titles, one of her many very traditional titles, says President Donald J. Trump. And then there's a picture of this beautiful, it's the Madonna and the child, the Christ child, both of them wearing crowns, Mary as Queen of Heaven and Christ. as, you know, King of Kings, King of the Universe. There, it's just an amazing, it's just, we just need to repeal the 22nd Amendment. It's basically my conclusion. This is good, I don't seriously mean that necessarily, even though Ronald Reagan campaigned for the repeal of the 22nd Amendment, and there is a term limit already built into our constitutional system, which is at the ballot box. But I'm not even, it's okay, President Trump doesn't want to run again.

That's fine. This is good stuff, guys. This is good stuff. And I, On the surface, you would say, look, these radical Calvinists, the Puritans, the separatists, the radical Protestants who founded our country in the earliest days all the way back to the Mayflower, which is a great cigar brand, they would probably be a little weirded out by being nice to marry the mother of God because they had problems with Marian veneration and, okay, whatever. But can we just zoom out a little bit between the internecing conflicts? And, you know, conservatives always love attacking each other. You get 100 conservatives into the room. They'll find the one thing they all disagree on and rip each other to shreds over it. You get 100 baptized Christians in the room. They'll find the one theological disagreement that they have.

They'll all fight each other over it very frequently. Can we just zoom out a little bit? The White House, which three years ago was hosting topless trannies on the South Lawn, flying pride flags, castrating little kids, investigating churches, designating churchgoers as violent domestic extremists akin to terrorists,

the White House today in the Trump era is saying, happy birthday to the mother of God. That is an unqualified good. That is so great. And it does matter. Some people are going to say, oh, it's just a Twitter post.

Who cares? The left cares, that's for sure. the left cares a lot about Trump's Twitter posts. Even the atheists, the secularists, the liberals are all very upset about this. They're upset about a lot of Trump's Twitter posts. But if you believe that the presidency is supposed to be the spirited part of the government, the themotic part of the government, the judiciary is the logical part of the government, the legislature is the appetitive part of the government,

and the executive is the spirited part of the government, well, then a lot of the president's power is in the bully pulpit. The president can't exactly pass laws. The president can't decide on court cases. The president can't sort of can go to war unilaterally, but in the long run can't go to war unilaterally. The president does have limited power. The president can't even fire federal bureaucrats half the time. But the president has the bully pulpit. And the fact that the president, President Trump, is using the bully pulpit not to push transing your kids, not to stigmatize religious people who go to church. church, not to promote infanticide through abortion, not to promote open borders, not to not to, the fact that he is using that to remind even Catholics who should know who should know better, to remind them even that it's the traditional liturgical feast day of Mary, the mother of God. You know, in the Biden administration, they'd be posting about George Floyd Day. And in the Trump administration, they're posting about Mary's birthday.

This is so great. I just love it. I just absolutely love it. It's great stuff. and it does matter. Okay. Now, it's a big woman show today because this pertains to the White House. The White House has been posting, I think a rare messaging miss, and I think they should hone in on the messaging here, because they're posting about the job gains that we've had since Trump was inaugurated for the second term. And what they've observed is that women have gotten almost all of the jobs. and the White House is posting this as a big messaging win. I think they're a little mistaken here. We'll get to that in a second.

First, though, my favorite comment yesterday is from Jason who says, hey, everyone, how was everyone's Labor Day? Am I the only one refreshing my Spotify page at 12? Yes, that's the way to do it. Just wait. We were a little delay. There was a little technical glitch at the top of the show today. We're a little delayed by a couple minutes.

It's okay. You got to just sit there all day, refresh the page until the show comes out. That is, I agree. That's a good use of time. Rapid Response 47. So this is one of the rapid response accounts from the White House. Posts this article from Just the News says, Women account for almost all net U.S. job gains since Trump took office report. Good for the women who need the jobs, who want the jobs. That's good for them.

But I think this is bad messaging. And I think the White House should tighten up the messaging here. because when you post that women account for all the job gains since Trump took office, what you are saying is that half the population hasn't gotten any jobs. That's not good messaging. And it's even worse than that because we're coming off of two days of debating this new potential policy reform from the Trump administration, which would divert some already existing welfare money for an already existing program from promoting single parenthood and mothers dropping their kids off at daycare so they can

go work in an office to the many stay-at-home mothers who would prefer to use those tax dollars to raise their own kids rather than pay someone at a daycare center to do it. So you've just had that messaging, which I think was very effective. And now you're kind of undermining that messaging by saying, hey, isn't it an unqualified good that women are leaving the home and going to the office? But we know there was Gallup polling that came out, we talked about it yesterday on the show, 54% of working moms would rather stay home and raise their kids, at least for some period of time. So the messaging here, I think it really alienates a lot of men, and like all the men, but then even for the majority of working mothers, they're going to see that

headline, and at best they're going to be blasé about it, and at worst, they're going to say, yeah, we are all getting jobs, we don't want jobs. We want to work, but we want to work at home and raise our kids, 54% of us. The majority of us working mothers want to stay at home and raise our kids, but we can't because the economy has been structured for 70, 80 years, such that we kind of need two incomes now to get by. So it's not, you know, I've noticed it's not just President Trump, it's not just this administration. Republicans broadly have leaned into this a lot. They've tried to tout the low female unemployment rate as some great political accomplishment. It doesn't read that way necessarily. For women who want jobs, it can read well, but there are so many downsides to that

kind of messaging. It presumes that the ideal society is one in which the female unemployment rate is zero, you know, in which all the women are outside of the home and all the kids are in daycare, or women are just not having kids anyway, and they're putting it off and off and off, which is another cause of women's distress, widely reported by millennial women. You know, it presumes that the best scenario is when everyone's just working in the widget factory all day, and men and women are indiscernible. But I don't think we really believe that. This is a rare messaging miss.

Okay. Speaking of changes over the past year, we are now, what, one day out is it tomorrow, is the anniversary of Charlie Kirk's murder. I'm going to fly to Utah. TPSA is putting on an event at the campus where he was murdered as a kind of act of defiance, as Andrew Colvite said yesterday,

to tell the left, you know, we're going to show back up and we're going to pay honor to our friend and have a memorial for him at the very same place. So it's coming up. A lot of people are feeling very emotional about it, certainly on the right. And on the left, too, apparently,

because they're feeling emotions in a different way. They're feeling joy. They're feeling glee. Not all of them, not even most of them, but a lot, a distressing number, including in prominent positions. Nick Shirley, the conservative journalist, was supposed to speak at a school,

I think he was supposed to speak at Harvard or something. a UC Irvine professor posted underneath this announcement and said, someone can do the funniest thing just before the Kirkiversary. Someone can do the funniest thing, which is internet slang for those of you who aren't hip to the jive like I am. It's internet slang for, in this case, killing Nick Shirley. It would be the funniest thing right before the, wouldn't it be so funny if right before the anniversary of a leftist murdering Charlie Kirk, a leftist murdered Nick Shirley, another conservative journalist? and activist. Wouldn't that be so funny? There are tons of freaks and weirdos on the internet.

That is maybe the modal denizen of the internet is a freak and a weirdo. But this guy is not just some fringe poster. This guy is a UC Irvine professor. Not just a university professor, a public university professor. He's calling on leftists to commit another murder against another conservative leader. This, yeah, it was Harvard. It was in response to the Harvard University. Republican Club. So this same professor, Goldman, he has had other posts. He posted a picture of Luigi from Mario Brothers holding a gun up to the United Healthcare CEO, Brian Thompson. He posted a meme praising Henry Kissinger's death. Again, Henry Kissinger wasn't murdered, but still, nasty thing to do. And the fact that he's celebrating leftist violence again and again and again

reminds you. It's not just the crazy student. You know, the nine, year old with the orange hair and the septum piercing who just got a little carried away kids do dumb stuff it's not that it's not even just the fringe weirdo activists some like flunky druggie who's like works for antifa it's not just even that guy it's your professor and the point i made after charlie was killed when everyone was saying i think to make ourselves feel better a lot of people were saying well you know what we need to double down on the open marketplace of ideas we need to just double down because you know that's what charlie would have wanted a lot of people trying to infer what Charlie would have wanted and try to speak for Charlie from beyond the grave. And I'm sure they all had

very good intentions. But I drew the opposite conclusion. I said, no, we don't need to open up the marketplace of ideas anymore. We need to close it off a little bit. We need to police it a little bit. We need to restore order. Charlie was the most gracious that one really could be in the open marketplace of ideas talking to anybody about anything. And they murdered him for it. And then they celebrated his murder. And a year later, they're still celebrating his murder at pretty high levels. Professors, political commentators on television, elected officials, on and on and on. I said, you can't have that. You can't have an open marketplace of ideas when bandits shoot up the marketplace. So we need to fire people. We need to exclude people. We need to censor people. We need to deport people if we can.

In order to have an open marketplace and other goods as well. But even if you just want the open marketplace of ideas, in order to have that, you need to censor the people who undermine the marketplace. You need to imprison in some places, the people who would undermine the marketplace. place. You need to deport in some cases those people. You have to do it. You can't, the examples I gave were, you can't have a restaurant where the customers fear that the waiters are going to poison them. The restaurant will close down. You can't have a hospital in which the patients think that the nurses are going to kill them. The hospital will close down. People won't go to the hospital. And the third example I gave was, I gave this in Senate testimony last year on Capitol Hill. I said, you can't have a school in which the parents think that the teachers are going to kill the students.

No, you're not going to send your kid to that school. Well, that's what we have. That's what UC Irvine is. A UC Irvine professor posting underneath the Harvard Club. Okay, I do want to get to, I know we're running late. I don't really care. There is a weird kind of Islamophilia that is creeping up on the left and the right. It's uniting the left and the right from James Tala rica.

to Milo Yanopolis. You know what? No, I know. They're going to yell at me if I go over too much. So this is my little tease. We'll get to it tomorrow. Okay. We'll get to it. I promise you, I think.
