Trump’s Salvo for Peace Against “Dictator” Zelenskyy

Hey, everybody. President Trump scolds Zelensky in public.

I want to thank Charlie. He's an incredible guy.

His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives,

and we are going to fight

for freedom on campuses across the country. That is noblegoldinvestments.com.
It's where I buy all of my gold. Go to noblegoldinvestments.com.
I want to get right into the breaking news. President Donald Trump sends a truth social and he is sending the world a message.
The gravy train is out ending. Since the beginning, we have been very clear on this program that it is not America's role to get involved in the Russian-Ukrainian dispute.
From the very beginning, we looked at the cost and the consequences about how good this could destabilize an entire continent that could destroy the U.S. dollar, that could bring us closer and closer to needless nuclear war.
It was the conventional wisdom back in 2022 at the outbreak of the war. It was the conventional wisdom that we must fight Russia.
We must fight Russia. I actually went to CPAC three years ago and said, no, it was written up everywhere.
I said that our leaders should care more about the southern border than the Ukrainian border. I was attacked as being insensitive, cruel.
In reality, we were just putting America first. 99% of the people in our audience were against us.
It was by far the most unpopular stand that we've ever taken. And I knew we were right.
At our core, I knew I right. It was been one of those interesting things to see how the audience moved throughout the months.
We'd be getting Ukrainian flags sent to us in email chains, people saying, we must fight the Russians. Now our audience is 99% against it.
It has been one of the most remarkable changes and shifts. And honestly, credit to those of you that did change your mind.
Credit to those of you that realize the scam that is the Ukrainian in conflict. And those of you that were in that 1%, you helped move the Overton window.
You held the line. You held your elected leaders to a higher standard.
And someone who deserves a lot of credit is Tucker Carlson. Tucker Carlson, more than almost anybody else, deserves credit for his courage and his moral clarity on this conflict from the very beginning.
Asking the right questions, framing the conflict correctly. And now today, the American people are exhausted with sending hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine.
Remember, we had lawmakers on this program, one of whom I have a lot of respect for, North Dakota's own Senator Kramer. Again, he's a great man.
We talk frequently. We just are completely different sides of this topic.
This is not about anything personal with Senator Kramer. He was very polite when he came on the show.
But he said on this program that there would be no limit to the amount of money that we'd be sent to Ukraine. Apparently, he was right.
Over 300 to 350 billion dollars that we have spent on what? So that over a million people could be died to subsidize the slaughter of entire generations of Ukrainians. President Trump just posted this on Truth Social.
It is breaking news live here on this program. And I'm going to read the entire thing word for word.
President Trump is the peace president. What he is doing is going to make the world a better, more stable place.
Joe Biden was barreling us blindly towards a world war. Donald Trump writes on Truth Social, quote, think of it.
A modestly successful comedian, Volodymyr Zelensky, talked the United States of America into spending $350 billion to go into a war that couldn't be won, that never had to start, but a war that he, without the U.S. and Trump, will never be able to settle.
Let me pause. Him calling him a modestly successful comedian means that President Trump is irked at Zelensky.
You see, Zelensky wants to keep the war going. Zelensky does not have a loyalty to his people.
Zelensky is captured by ultra-radical Ukrainian nationalists that refuse to ever negotiate with the Russian government. There was a deal on the table a week into the conflict that was being brokered in Istanbul, Turkey.
Boris Johnson was there. Tony Blinken was there.
Sergei Lavrov was there. The Russian foreign minister was there.
And a deal could have been brokered one week into the conflict that would have given Ukraine more land than they would currently get right now. And a million people would not have died.
The United States has spent $200 billion more than Europe. And Europe's money is guaranteed.
While the United States will get nothing back.

Why didn't sleepy Joe Biden demand equalization in that this war is far more important to Europe than it is to us? We have a big, beautiful ocean of separation. This is exactly right.

Europe, why don't you guys step up? Oh, because the same Europeans that were clamoring and rebuking

J.D. Vance are the ones that want us

to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on their defense. So they want us to be able to subsidize

their European social welfare democracies, even though they're censoring their own citizens,

even though Germany is looking far more like Russia than even Russia is. Europe did not step

up to the plate because they want America to fight the fight for them. On top of this, Zelensky admits that half of the money we sent is missing.
He refuses to have elections and is very low in Ukrainian polls. And the only thing he was good at was playing Biden like a fiddle, a dictator without elections.
Trump is calling Zelensky a dictator. Yeah, I mean, he refuses to have an election.
And let's press pause here. You might say it's the midst of a war.
Who could have an election? Abraham Lincoln had an election in the midst of an American Civil War. Franklin Delano Roosevelt had elections in the midst of a World war.
We had elections in the midst of World War I. Leaders who are illegitimate suspend Democrat means and norms to hold on to power.
They could easily have an election right now. Easily.
Zelensky better move fast or he's not going to have a country left. In the meantime, we are successfully negotiating an end to the war with Russia, something I'll admit only Trump and the Trump administration can do.
Biden never tried. Europe has failed to bring peace and Zelensky probably wants to keep the gravy train going.
I love Ukraine, which is very important that Trump says that, but Zelensky has done a terrible job. His country is shattered and millions have unnecessarily died.
And so it continues. So let me translate all of this.
This is president Trump with a public salvo, because I guarantee you, president Trump has been trying to get Zelensky's attention privately because president Trump is not just opposing Zelensky. This is President Trump

scolding his own intelligence department. The CIA deep state, they are the ones that have been puppeteering Zelensky for this entire time.
They are the ones that have been configuring this entire conflict. And the power of public scolding like this is you better get in line or else I'm going go do a deal with the Russians.
The Ukrainians are getting mad that there might be an end of the war. Think about that.
They're getting mad that this war might actually end. President Trump ran on the idea of preventing World War III and preventing a nuclear conflict.
And President Trump says very clearly, he's a dictator. He's acting like a dictator.
Absolutely. So the significance of this entire statement is we are going to find a settlement to this war, whether Zelensky wants it or not.
He does not have a say in this matter anymore. Ukraine operates solely thanks to the subsidy of the American

government. And God bless President Trump for just toning out all of the clamoring from people like

Tom Cotton, people like Liz Cheney. They all want this war to continue.
Yet President Trump says,

no, I'm not going to listen to the neocons of the U.S. Senate.
Washington wants forever wars. Joni Ernst, these guardians of the forever war machine, the same people who let Afghanistan last 20 years want another 20-year war.
Trump wants peace. And this is him warning everybody, peace is coming.
So get on our side or peace is going to be stuffed down your throat. Mr.
Modestly successful comedian named Zelensky. How well do you sleep at night? Real peace of mind comes from knowing your family's prepared for anything.

I want to add one more thing to this Zelensky topic, which is that the intel agencies are on defense right now. President Trump doing this puts them on defense.
It puts them on their heels. The Central Intelligence Agency, the workings of the international intelligence community, Five Eyes, the deep state is squirming.
They want permanent forever war with no end in sight. And if you even ask them a crisply delivered question, why do we hate Russia? I can't say that.
Why are we at war with Russia? They can't answer that. President Trump calls Zelensky a dictator without elections.
He's right. Zelensky refuses to face his own people.
If Zelensky was super popular, why doesn't he have an election? Abraham Lincoln did. Maybe because he's not popular.
What he's doing is destroying the great Ukrainian people for no reason whatsoever. Email us, freedom at charliekirk.com and subscribe to our podcast.
Joining us now is great patriot Brett Galaszewski, vice chair of the Republican Party Milwaukee, more important, Turning Point Action National Enterprise Director. Brett, welcome to the program.
Everyone check out tpaction.com slash 100. Brett, educate our audience of what the significance of what's happening in Wisconsin.
Hey, Charlie, great to be on here again. Really appreciate you having me.
Glad that I get to talk about this mission critical opportunity that we have on our hands here in Wisconsin. It was almost two years ago to the day that I sat on this show and I talked about how Wisconsin was desperately hanging on to a 4-3 conservative majority of our Supreme Court and that losing control of our court could have detrimental effects going forward.
We ultimately lost that race in 2023 and we lost that conservative common sense control and we saw a domino effect of things spiral out of control from there. The court immediately redrew the legislative maps, which lost us 10 assembly seats, four state Senate seats.
They reversed Act 10, which was a big collective bargaining win of the Scott Walker Republican governor administration some 15 years ago, thought that that would never get walked back. And then the court ultimately reinstated drop boxes.
So you saw huge national implications out of little old Wisconsin these last two years out of losing our conservative majority on the court. But we have another opportunity on our hands to retake the court back on April 1st.
A conservative named Brad Schimmel is running in our Wisconsin Supreme Court race. And we have a unique opportunity on our hands to retake our state.
So, yeah, let's go through this. So the significance could result in more congressional seats, voting practices.
I mean, this is the balance of the Wisconsin Supreme Court. When is the election again? So the election is April 1st.
So it's coming up really quickly here, some five or six weeks from now. And the scary part is that we've only scratched the surface of what a liberal Supreme Court could do here in Wisconsin.
Adding a liberal reinforcement on this court could open the door even wider to what the left has made very clear that they want to do in Wisconsin, and that is ultimately scrap voter ID laws. This is a 10-year term on the line.
We won't have another shot at gaining a conservative seat again in Wisconsin until 2029. That's the next time that someone's term is up.
You saw what states that didn't have voter ID were doing in 2024. They were still counting votes like yesterday.
So we cannot afford to have voter ID taken away in a top three swing state because this could potentially remove Wisconsin from the electoral map in 2028, meaning that J.D. Vance or whoever it is that's running as the Republican nominee for president in 2028 may not have a path to victory with Wisconsin out of play.
This would force us to pick up a state like New Hampshire, Virginia, New Mexico. And I'm not saying that that's attainable.
I'm saying that that makes our path a little bit more uphill. It's the left's dream.
It's locking down one of the blue wall states, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin. And we saw what kind of impact Wisconsin had on our ability to get 270 on election night in this past fall.
So, so Brett, talk about how we are announcing commit 100 and what that is going to do at turning point action to hopefully help make a difference here. Well, so this is a turnout election like we've ever seen before in 2022 turnout was a little over% statewide, so a little over one in three people actually voted in the last election.
We for sure need to see turnout get on the other side of 40%. Our data alone identifies a little over 57,000 conservatives in Milwaukee County alone that are slated to sit this one out, conservative voters that are slated to sit this one out, unless we go out and chase those votes between now and April 1st.
So our Commit 100 program is going to be launching in Wisconsin. It's designed for people who see what's going on in Wisconsin or watch shows like this and want to get involved in some way or another.
It's designed for people to own their own neighborhoods here in Wisconsin, for people in other states, if you're listening in a state like Illinois, like Alabama, all over the country, who are hearing about this race having national implications on 2028 and want to directly help in that effort. So when somebody signs up on tpaction.com slash 100, which I see we have on the bottom of the screen, that's great.
You are assigned a list of 100 conservative voters, what we call low propensity or disengaged conservatives, likely conservatives that will not turn out in the spring off your election unless we're chasing them. And you can go knock on those doors and essentially hyper-target your efforts down to those 100 people, essentially maximizing your reach with those people.
If you're from out of state, this allows you to remotely make contact with those 100 voters in Wisconsin, give them a call, shoot them a text, write them a postcard, which you'll have the ability to do on our TP Action app, which is wonderful if you haven't downloaded it yet already. And for those that want to take it to the next level and physically come to Wisconsin and chase those votes in person, we'll put you in a hotel for as long as you want to be here so you can go and chase ballots with us.
This worked like a well-oiled machine in 2024. It really put the finishing touches on our effort to get President Trump across the finish line here in Wisconsin.
We had literal hundreds of people come from out of state, states like Illinois, where an hour of conservative activism isn't nearly going to have the impact that an hour of conservative activism in Wisconsin will have. We'll train you, we'll put you in a nice hotel, and we'll help you chase your 100 votes.
tpaction.com slash 100. Great work, Brett.
Everyone check out that website, tpaction.com slash 100. Brett, we'll have you on again soon.
We see it all the time when I visit college campuses. Young adults demonize the concept of free markets and think government is the solution to every problem.
How do we change this? By teaching our kids the foundational

principles to counter what they are taught in public school. Parents want to teach their

children about liberty, limited government, and free markets, but often wonder, where do I start?

That's where Tuttle Twins can help. They empower parents by providing quality resources that break

down these ideas in a way children can understand. Take their book, The Tuttle Twins Learn About the Law.
In this story, the twins learn about their rights, that true laws protect people, and that we should help others, and that stealing is always wrong. Children can only change the world for the better if they learn these important principles now.
Go to tuttletins.com slash Charlie today and purchase their 14 book children's series for your family. They'll learn to think for themselves, to stand for liberty.

Joining us now is Michael Knowles from the Michael Knowles Show. Michael, welcome to the program.

We have much to discuss, but I do want to talk to you about how we both went on this program, Jubilee, otherwise known as the Woke Firing Squad. Michael, tell us all about it.
So I saw that you had done it. I know Ben had done it.
You know, the show seemed to come out of nowhere. And they called me up and asked me if I would like to debate 25 LGBTQ activists.
And I said, well, that sounds delightful. Why not? I haven't had enough death threats recently.
So why not? And I flew out to LA. We chatted for, I don't know, two hours or something.
And what was most astounding to me was at the end of all of these debates, I don't think they raised particularly strong arguments. It was unfair in the sense that their view of human nature is not grounded in reality.
So it was going to be an uphill battle in any case. But I did enjoy chatting with a lot of them.
And when we got to the end of the show, there was kind of a post-game interview. And they said, well, what did you think of it? And I said, I really enjoyed the format.
It was nice that I could take on as many of these people with the best arguments that they could possibly come up with. And I really enjoyed it.
And I hope I persuaded some of them. But anyway, you know, their mileage may vary.
And then they interviewed them. And almost to a man, they said, Knowles is evil.
He's a Nazi. He's terrible.
Talking to him was the most horrific experience of my life. I thought, why are they so angry? You know, I don't know.
It seems to me, and I saw this in your episode on Jubilee too, the side that is grounded, calm, generally amiable, willing to listen to the other side, doesn't get all riled up and start screaming and calling people names, usually in a debate, that's the side that has the stronger argument. The format is rather unusual.
So just for anyone who has not seen this, again, we did this back in August. I think we were the first of this new genre.
Ours got 26 million YouTube views, hundreds of millions of views online. I mean, it was like a nuclear bomb for many reasons, one of which was that one of the debatees wished harm upon me and my family, sweet people.
But I want to just give people a little bit of a taste of just the type of debate that this is. And I just want to reiterate one very important thing, that it is one person on 25.
So they are able to interject at any time. They're able to come in at any time they want and raise their flag.
So let's watch Michael's first, and then we'll watch some of mine. Michael at 158 with Emily in Paris.
What does transgenderism in public look like to you? It's allowing men to be treated for the purposes of the law as women. It's men taking 900 sports trophies from women in recent years.
Okay, that doesn't happen. They didn't take 900? They took 900.
There's a report just came out from the United Nations, actually. 890 trophies and medals across 600 women who were competing, competitors, across 29 different sports and 400 competitions.
That came out like yesterday they deserved them it didn't happen and they deserve them okay that is the logic i hear from the pro trans crowd yeah thank you they do deserve that it's not happening but it's good that it is she actually did the meme or he i guess actually did them oh was that i didn't know like you know i got the reason i say sometimes you know camouflage pulls it off but i I was thinking to myself, actually, I got the reason I say sometimes, you know, camouflage pulls it off.

But I was thinking to myself, actually, I think that's an imposter as the as the tranny was talking. You know, generally speaking, you you can kind of tell there was another character during this debate.
A fella goes by the name of Blossom, and he was a very large, hulking man. But he had a wig on and everything.
And the notion that one would not be able to tell from the shoulders and being like six foot four or whatever, you know, is kind of silly. But that person actually did the meme, which it's not just the LGBTQ activists, but it's the left broadly does, which is they will say such and such that you're claiming is not happening.
And then you provide all of the evidence. It's the celebration parallax is what it is.
And Michael Anton. The celebration parallax is Michael Anton calls it.
That's right. And they'll say, well, no, actually, okay, now that I'm observing it, it's good that it's happening.
And so there's something really funny about this format, which is, I think that person was voted out pretty quickly after that exchange. But there was one guy in particular, really just one guy of these 25, who I thought was pretty good.
He was at least engaging with the arguments on a more serious philosophical and anthropological level. I thought, oh, interesting.
I could really have a conversation with this guy. And of course, that guy got voted out in like five seconds.
Was it Mason? I think he was in mine as well. No.
No, that guy Mason, I felt he was not making very good arguments in either yours or in mine. There was this other guy, he was a nice enough kid, but he had barely appeared in the episode.
That guy Mason, I felt he made a big, big mistake, which is he was rude from the beginning. And so he wasn't winning over the audience or certainly wasn't winning over me.
But he also made the big mistake, which is he started talking about something that he obviously knew nothing about. And you know this, Joe, you've done a bazillion debates in your life.
You know that when you raise a point in a debate, you better have a good three or four paragraphs to back it up. If you don't, you get totally shut down as, unfortunately for him, happens to him in our exchange.
So I want to just give people a little taste from my dialogue. This is a good version of them being shocked.
And I hope you guys understand. This is one on 25.
I have to keep on repeating it. It's exhausting because they're able to think about their best argument.
Now, mind you, I had, I don't want to say professional debaters, but it was very, these are Jubilee. They're a little tricky, a little tricky because like, oh, you're going to be debating college kids.
Okay. That's sort of true.
But some of these kids are like, all they do is go on Tik TOK and yell at people all day long. So they're a little bit more elevated.
So you, it's like hive mind against one person. So as soon as you win one debate, another person comes in.
And you win one, another person comes in. This is 156.
So I want to make a quick point. You're right.
Black Americans are in prison far greater than a percentage of the population. So black Americans, about 13% to 14% of the population, but half of all prisoners are black.
So blacks commit more crimes than whites do. They commit more murders.
They commit more arsons. They commit more kidnappings.
For example, blacks are 13 percent of the population and they commit 58 percent of all the murders. That's not a war on drugs.
That's a culture problem. And I mean, they just lose it.
I think you're totally right about the hive mind aspect here, because they're going to come in and what they're going to try to hit you on is some statistic. And being a conservative, I think statistics are basically bunk and not really worth bringing up all that often.
But you have to bring them up because in modern culture, people think that that's what debates consist of. So you need to go in there with a slew of studies and numbers and statistics.
But what's crazy about it, Charlie, is you saw this in your debate. I think you definitely saw it in my debate because we were debating really just human nature.
You don't really need a dozen statistics to know that a boy can't become a girl. You don't really need a dozen statistics to know that it's good to enforce the law or that babies are babies and we should protect them.
Ultimately, a lot of this comes down to common sense, first principles of practical reason, and basic philosophical intuitions, which unfortunately elude a lot of these people, even if they are professional debaters in some cases, they have not been trained, not just in debate and rhetoric, but even in epistemology, even how to know things about anything. And so I feel it's actually, people say it's an unfair fight because it's 25 versus one.
But if you're a conservative who has any kind of grounding at all, it might be unfair in the other direction. What did you learn more broadly about left wing Gen Z by doing this? I mean, you do a lot of campus stuff.
I do a lot of campus stuff. What I I'll tell you what I learned after doing this is I know how shallow they are, but how comfortable they are in their their shallow political ideology.
They have intentionally not decided to deepen their understanding and so remarkably intolerant of anyone that might have a different

opinion. All of that's true.
Certainly, we've seen that happening for years. We know that the quality of education these days is a little bit weak at all the schools.
However, there's another insight, a really traditional insight from our civilization and from Christianity that comes out, which is that sin darkens the intellect. Okay.
When you engage in sin and vice, it actually makes you dumber than you otherwise would be. And this is something we all have to watch out for because we all sin.
So you got to be careful of it. But for a grown man to show up on television or the internet or just broadly on camera with a big wig on talking about his sexual desires and bizarre sexual practices.
That is a crazy thing to do. That is humiliating for the individual and he shouldn't do it.
And the kinds of arguments that I found they were making basically came down to, hey, I really like this thing or, hey, I have emotional problems or, hey, I was really angry at my family growing up or something. And so I have a great deal of sympathy for people, but it's just, it's evidence that they've lost control of their reason.
And the whole point of education is to take your appetites. We all have kind of weird appetites sometimes.
It's a fallen world. To bring those under the command of your reason.
So you say, no, I'm not going to eat the fifth cookie from the cookie jar. That's not going to be good.
I want it in some ways, but it won't be good for me to eat that. No, I'm not going to do that kind of weird behavior that's being encouraged by our society.
But unfortunately, modern education tells you the opposite. It says, hey, if it feels good, do it.
If you have any appetite at all, indulge it. Forget about reason.
There's no such thing as objective truth. There's no such thing as objective reality.
And it leaves these people ultimately not just looking foolish in a debate against some conservative, but it leaves them very sad. I walked into that room.
I had a nice time. I actually enjoyed speaking to the people, even the ones who were rude.
They walked out of that room by their own admission, angry, sad, probably some of them wishing violence upon me, openly wishing violence upon you.

That's not good. That's not a good way to live.

And if you're constantly furious and angry and just butting your head up against reality,

it probably means that something in your ideology is a little bit wrong.

Private student loan debt in America totals about $300 billion,

but $45 billion of that is labeled as distressed.

Y-Refi refinances distressed or defaulted private student loans that others will not touch.

They provide you with a custom loan payment based on your ability to pay.

That is YRefi.com, Y-R-E-F-Y.com.

Just call them at 888-YREFI34 or log on to YRefi.com.

Do you have a co-borrower? YRefi can get them released from the loan. You can give mom or dad a break.
You can even skip a payment every six months up to 12 times without a penalty. Can you imagine being debt-free and not living under this burden anymore? The first step is to contact YREFI.
If your private student loan debt is keeping you up at night and ruining your life, it doesn't have to. Just call Y-Refi.
I think very highly Y-Refi. We're working them on a lot

of stuff. They're helping sponsor our campus tour.
We're all in with them. That is Y-R-E-F-Y.com.

Over $30 billion in private student loan debt. If you guys have student loan debt

and in distressed fashion, go Y-R-E-F-Y.com. That is Y-R-E-F-Y.com.
Okay, everybody, let's play some more of Mr. Knowles with the linebacker.
Play cut 160. How are you going to get people to stop being trans? I think we're going to tell boys that they're not girls.
So we're going to tell boys that they're not girls, that they're going to listen? Yeah, basically. Really? Yeah.
That's what we've done for most of history. That happened to me, and I can promise you to God that I didn't listen.
Yeah, well, because we live at a time that is affirming the transgender delusion. But if we lived at a more sensible time, probably you would have listened.
But we're not. And I think we should just return to a more sensible kind of politics.
But you're not giving a solution on how you would even be capable of doing something like that. No, I think we kicked the fellas out of the boys' bathroom.
We kicked the transgender teaching out of schools. How are you going to do that? We just enforced the law as it was before 2015.
Michael? I think it's really as simple as that. Not everything has to be really complicated.
And you could hear there from that interlocutor and really from a ton of the people on the Jubilee debate.

They ask you a question, you give them a simple answer, and then they accuse you of not having answered the question. And it's really because they don't want that answer.
But I think what's really most jarring to them, especially on this issue, is how recently all of this has taken place. A lot of them seem unaware that in the late part of Barack

Obama's first term, he held the view of marriage that everyone has held for all of human history,

namely that it involves a man and a woman, both of them together. They don't seem aware that until

June of 2016, trans-identifying people were not permitted in the U.S. military.
Of course not.

It's contrary to reality. It shows that they've got some psychological problems.
It's not good

Thank you. trans-identifying people were not permitted in the U.S.
military. Of course not.
It's contrary to reality. It shows that they've got some psychological problems.
It's not good for military fitness. They don't seem to realize that until the 2016 election cycle, there wasn't a big blow-up fight over bathrooms and some big push from the left to send men into the girls' bathroom.
They don't understand how recently this is. I guess my question for all of them is one of the basic conservative objections to all of modern liberalism, which is, hey, if statistically everyone everywhere for all of history has thought a certain thing about human nature, isn't there a decent chance they were right? If you, if you and like five of your friends think the opposite,

isn't there just a,

isn't it more likely that everyone else was right?

I don't know.

That seems persuasive to me.

Maybe not to them.

One more I want to play here, which is just delicious.

Let's play cut 161.

Hi.

Hello.

Blossom.

She, her, hers, powerhouse.

Blossom powerhouse.

Lovely to meet you.

Yes.

Go ahead. I want to know your ideology around transgenderism.

Thank you. Yes.
Go ahead. I want to know your ideology around transgenderism, something that doesn't exist.
It just sounds more like conservative propaganda. So I kind of want to know a little bit more about what you're trying to communicate.
Okay. I think for all of history everywhere, people have understood the human person to have something to do with his body.
So like your body has something to do with who you are. Now, there is an alternative view, which is called Gnosticism.
It's a view that our bodies don't really have anything to do with who we are, that the body is maybe even evil, and that our true selves have no connection to our bodies. And I see in the transgender ideology a kind of Gnosticism that says that you could look like a man, you could have a man's genetics, you could have a man's genitals, you could have a man's everything, but if you feel on some deep level that you're really a woman, then you are really a woman.
And I don't think that's true, and I think that the social effects of that are really bad because it leads to the depriving women of their legitimate rights. In some cases, it leads to rapes, notably in the last few years.
And it also leads to women losing their sports competitions and their scholarships. And it's just disordered and false.
And it also leads to more people adopting this identity, which leads to very high rates of anxiety, depression and suicide. So it's bad for everyone.
It's not grounded in reality. That guy was awfully intimidating.
You know, I'm not physically the largest guy in the world. I suppose he could have just, like, thrown me down onto the pavement.
But I felt that— That wouldn't have been ladylike, Michael. That would not have been ladylike.
It would have undercut his argument that he was a lady. And right after that clip, the first response that guy made was, he said, Oh, you have no idea what you're talking about.
You don't even understand the words you're saying. And I thought, you know, look, man, you could disagree.
You could try to disagree with what I'm saying about human nature. I think it would be difficult.
But you can't tell me that I haven't articulated a view here, okay? And I think for much of the modern left, it's clear enough for us who have some familiarity with history and how people have understood human nature. It's clear enough to us to say, oh, you you're really denying that there's a connection between identity and the body.
And then paradoxically, you're actually going in later and insisting that you mutilate the body to be more closely in line with your fantasy of how you really are or whatever. And there's there's a name for that.
It's a Gnostic ideology. There have been many instances of it throughout history.
But, you know, that's what's going on. And I think for them, oh, thank you.
But they did not appreciate that. Blossom did not think it was a profound point.
And I suspect it's because where they're coming at this is not through a critical examination of human nature. What they're coming at this from is saying, look, I want to do this.
I have this hang-up. Of course.
And I get it. I don't think Blossom could spell Gnosticism.
I don't think they get the first letter right. OK, very good, Michael Knowles.
See you soon. Thank you.
