The warmth of collectivism inaugurated by Zorhan Mamdani kills 16 homeless New Yorkers in just one month.
Jeffrey Epstein turns out to be Vladimir Putin's money manager.
That's actually kind of a new revelation of the files.
We'll get into what that means.
And 30-something women, not the number 30, like the age 30, women in their 30s are now injecting themselves with fat from corpses to make their dairy airs look plumper.
Did I read that?
Did I read that right?
Is that really a news story?
Did that really happen?
Why is that happening?
I'm Michael Knowles.
This is the Michael Knowles Show.
Welcome back to the show.
The Septum Ring Strikes Again.
A Septim Ring lady has gone viral for saying that she will burn her life to the ground over the ICE protests.
Why is it always the Septum Ring?
And what does this mean?
Ordinary people who support law and order, not just conservatives, just normal people generally, need to beware this religious, pseudo-religious impulse among the very, very angry middle-aged white ladies.
We'll get to that momentarily.

Before we get into anything, I'm going to be speaking in Nashville on Friday.
Yaff and the Daily Wire are partnering up for an America 250 rally to celebrate America as we now officially enter into the Bisesquicentennial, the 250th anniversary of America.
Nashville Rally Against Transphobia00:02:43
It's going to be a great time.
There are going to be a bunch of other speakers there.
And Antifa has decided to show up to protest me.
This hit my newsfeed yesterday.
There's a Nashville Antifa, even in Nashville, nowhere is sacred, I guess.
This is the rally against transphobia.
They're still on this.
They're still on the trans thing.
They never give it up because it's the apotheosis of liberalism, because the transgender ideology is the culmination of centuries of the liberal impulse for radical liberation from everything, including morality, social order, religion, God, and even the self.
And they're particularly upset at me, it turns out.
They write on their 615 anti-fascist page.
One of the headline figures at the conference is Michael Knowles, a Daily Wire host whose participation has drawn controversy because of his inflammatory rhetoric about trans people and blah, blah, blah.
So anyway, they're inviting all of their goons to show up and create trouble at the YAF Daily Wire rally.
I then looked at their website, not just their social media pages, and I guess they're targeting me.
A headline, Michael Knowles listed as a speaker for this conference.
Other guys, though, Nick Freitas, Nick Freitas, who has personally armed me.
I appreciate that.
Mary Margaret Olihan, Reagan, Cabot, Abby Johnson.
I just, I look on the bright side of things.
You know, I'm a glass half-full kind of guy because hope is a theological virtue and actually a command that we have to follow.
And I look at this as glass half full because a little warning to our friends in Antifa.
The last time Antifa sent one of their goons to one of my speaking events, he ended up in federal prison.
He's still in federal prison.
So if they want to show up again, that's fine.
Antifa thinks that it's going to intimidate us, especially in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination, the constant threats on conservatives, the point of which is to chill ordinary speech in public life, spook us, scare us into staying home.
Not going to work.
Not going to work.
I take this as a wonderful opportunity.
The last time Antifa showed up, I was able to help to correct America's under-incarceration problem.
Very glad that one of their members is now wearing an orange jumpsuit.
And so I take this as an opportunity.
If Antifa wants to get out of hand, even here in my hometown of Nashville, that's fine.
We will use that as another opportunity to help replenish America's prisons with some of their lawless people.
So anyway, it'll be a lot of fun.
I think the event will be streamed.
If you're in Nashville, feel free to come down.
Watch out for Antifa, but happily we have good cops here in Nashville, so I'm not too concerned.
Left to Die on the Streets00:07:54
Speaking of lawlessness, Zorhan Mamdani has just made a really sad and totally predictable announcement.
You know, we in Nashville got smacked probably the hardest of any city in the country with this cold front that just moved in, left a lot of people out of power, sent me to the hood for a few days because my power was out, and a pal of mine put me up there in one of his Airbnbs.
That's where I was broadcasting the show from with him producing.
It was very, very nice.
Luckily, Nashville is mostly back online.
When the cold front made it to New York, it was not nearly as bad.
There was very little ice.
It was mostly just snow.
And nevertheless, 16 homeless New Yorkers died during that brief little cold snap.
Here is the new mayor of New York.
A severe cold front continues to bear down on our city.
Today is our 11th consecutive day of below-freezing weather, and we could very well be in the middle of the longest period of consecutive sub-32 degree weather in our city's entire history.
Without temperatures rising above freezing, snow has hardened into blocks of ice.
But the greatest danger posed by this sustained cold is to vulnerable New Yorkers who remain exposed to the elements.
As of this morning, 16 of our fellow New Yorkers have passed away outside during this brutal stretch of cold.
In 13 of these cases, preliminary findings indicate that hypothermia played a role, and three of these deaths appear to be overdose deaths.
We await final results from the medical examiner's office and will inform New Yorkers as we learn more.
Each of these lives lost is a tragedy.
My heart was at the family of those mourning their loved ones.
Okay, so Zoron is blaming these deaths mostly on nature, though he admits a few of them are drug deaths.
However, I want to take a national view here.
New York did not really get hit hard in this cold front.
Other places did, and people died in other parts of the country.
But they died because the weather came in, totally overwhelmed the systems that are not built for cold weather.
They're not built for snow and ice.
And some people very sadly died in their homes because they couldn't get power back online because of this once in a decade, once in three or four decades cold snap.
Terribly sad.
In a lot of places, kind of unavoidable.
Not the case in New York.
New York is built for cold weather.
Cold weather hits New York every single year.
New York knows how to deal with cold weather, usually when they have competent management and government.
The people who died in New York did not die because their power went out.
New York didn't lose power.
They died because they were left to die on the streets.
Why were they left to die on the streets?
Is this just some immutable characteristic of New York?
What can we do?
Throw our arms up in the air?
A long-standing problem?
No, it's not.
They were left to die on the streets, specifically because Zorhan Mamdani, who has been in office for just one month now, left them to die on the streets and in fact campaigned to leave them to die on the streets.
Don't take my word for it.
Here is CBS News Local New York.
Mayor Alex Zorhan Mamdani says that he will end the Adams administration's practice of removing homeless encampments from city sidewalks.
But advocates argue it will be a step backwards for the city's quality of life.
Allie Bauman questioned the mayor-elect about this tonight.
For the past three years, the NYPD has been systematically removing homeless encampments from New York City sidewalks, a practice Mayor-elect Zorhan Mamdani vows to end once he takes office.
Vows to end it.
This is Mamdani campaigning and then in the transition saying, we are intentionally going to leave the homeless who are almost entirely drug addicts and mentally ill.
We're going to leave them on the streets.
And this is supposedly going to be compassionate.
That's a change of policy from the previous administration, which just left office.
A little history of New York.
In the 70s and 80s, there were a lot of bums, a lot of criminals, a lot of homeless on the streets.
Rudy Giuliani came in in the 1990s and got rid of all that.
Said, no, no, no, you homeless, you need to go to shelters or we're going to arrest you, but we're not going to leave you on the streets.
Rudy Giuliani reiterated this after he was mayor of New York during the Occupy Wall Street protests when people set up encampments all over the city.
He said, no, no, no, you can't do this.
Sleeping on the street is a dysfunctional act which harms society and the individual.
In other words, letting the homeless stay on the street is contrary to the common good.
It's not just that letting the homeless stay on the street is good for the homeless, but it's bad for the rest of the New Yorkers who don't want to see them.
That's how Mamdani is presenting it.
The real argument is, no, no, no, it's actually bad for everyone because, yeah, it's bad for the law-abiding New Yorkers who don't want criminals and drug addicts and crazy people running around in the streets all the time.
But it's bad for the homeless.
It's bad for them because they're susceptible to crime, susceptible to being assaulted or raped or killed, and they're also vulnerable to the elements.
It's very, very dangerous to leave them on the streets at all times of the year, especially in the winter.
Now we are seeing the fruit of that pay off.
This is the warmth of collectivism.
This is the compassion that Zorhan Mamdani has promised.
Left 60 New Yorkers dead during a totally predictable, not even all that bad cold front.
And he even gives away the game there.
He's trying to mitigate his culpability.
So he's saying, well, yeah, okay, I left 13 of them to die from the cold.
They basically froze like Jack Nicholson at the end of the shining.
And yeah, okay, I'm not going to take responsibility for that, but yeah, sure, okay, the cold got them.
But three of them just overdosed.
Like that's better?
Like that's good?
Well, they chose to die.
They consented.
They're consenting adults.
First of all, you can't consent when you're crazy or when you're addicted to all kinds of vices or when you're underage or when there are all sorts of things that compromise our consent.
So Zorhan Mamdani's whole policy is based on a misconception of freedom, what freedom really is.
He thinks freedom, like all liberals, he thinks freedom is just neutrality and choosing.
Well, some people choose not to do heroin, but some people choose to do heroin.
And who are we to say what the better choice is?
It's a misconception of freedom.
It's a misconception of the common good.
It's a misconception of what's good for everybody.
The common good is not just the random collection of all of the individual goods of people, some of which are contrary to each other in this kind of utilitarian calculation that tries to lead to the greatest utility for the greatest number.
The common good is what we all share, what is good for all of us, what is not diminished by any individual good.
And it's a misunderstanding of compassion.
It is not compassionate to just ignore people.
It's funny because the left accuses the right of this.
You just ignore people.
You retreat to your nice neighborhoods and your penthouses and your money and you ignore your common man.
You don't think you're your brother's keeper.
The left is, sometimes the right is guilty of that, especially the more libertarian right.
The left is just as guilty of that.
Oh, just leave people to their degradation.
Leave people to their vices.
Leave people to their destructive behaviors.
Be it on sexual ideologies, be it on just license more broadly, be it with regard to living on the street.
Just leave them.
It's fine.
Who are you to intervene?
Who am I?
I'm a reasonable person and I'm a member of society and I'm a citizen.
And the consequences of all three of those misconceptions from Zorhan Mamdani are that 16 people die up the street, die on the street, whether from drugs or from exposure.
That's the warmth of collectivism.
What would have been more compassionate for the homeless?
Zorhan Mamdani, who says all sorts of sweet things about the homeless and leaves them to die in the street?
Promo Code for Next Candle Batch00:04:47
Or Rudy Giuliani, who talks a little tougher, who seems a little bit meaner, but who protects those people?
Where's the real compassion?
That's it.
We're one month into Mamdani.
One month in, and you've got homeless ice cubes lining the streets of New York, some of which also have heroin and fentanyl in their, in their blood.
Real nice, real nice.
We're in for a real treat with Zoron.
Okay, speaking of Manhattan and dead people, 30-something-year-old women in Manhattan are, according to the New York Post, injecting themselves with fat from cadavers to make their butts look better.
We'll get to that momentarily.
First, I want to tell you, speaking of looking better, actually looking better, I want to tell you about Mizin in Maine.
Go to mizininmaine.com, promo code Michael, M-I-C-H-A-E-L20.
You know what's very, very frustrating, especially if you're a man, but really everybody?
Ironing.
I have an ironing board.
I use it once a year at most.
I don't want to iron.
That's one reason I love our sponsor, Mizin in Maine.
Their shirts stay crisp, stay comfortable, and keep you looking your best any day of the week.
Mizzen in Maine makes classic menswear performance fabrics, which means you can look sharp without any of the usual hassle.
They invented the performance fabric dress shirt over 10 years ago.
The shirts and pants look refined, but they're stretchy, lightweight, moisture-wicking, wrinkle-resistant, and completely machine-washable.
No ironing or dry cleaning needed.
The moment you put their clothes on, you feel the difference, professional style that is actually comfortable, whether you're at the office, traveling, or maybe hitting up a cigar lounge.
I love it.
Mizin in Maine's stuff is great, especially as we're looking forward to spring.
Their polos are so refined, and you can take them on the golf course.
You can take them wherever you want.
Mizzen in Maine is veteran-led committed to supporting those who've served through year-round military discounts and giving to veterans organizations.
It's just a great company.

Folks, before we get to the women in New York shooting corpse fat into their butts, I want to tell you something that I knew I would have to tell you, which is that I told you so.
Yesterday, I launched the 2026 edition of the Smells and Bells candle.
This is the official candle for Lent, the season of penitence, looking ahead toward Easter.
And what did I tell you?
You know what I told you.
I said, if you want the candle, order it now, because we sell out every single year and we're going to sell out.
And so I want you to get as many as you want, as many as you're going to want by two, by three, by four.
Whatever you want, get them now because they're going to be sold out.
And then if they're sold out and then you go the next day or the day after that, you're going to be very angry with me because they're gone.
The only way in which I was wrong is we actually sold out a little bit faster than I expected.
So we sold out of the whole initial stock.
Every candle that we made is spoken for.
I don't want the angry emails.
I planned for this.
I said, okay, I know we're going to sell out the initial stock.
See if we can secure other glass and wax and all the rest of it.
We are currently, there's hope, there's hope.
We are currently collecting orders as more inventory becomes available.
We had our poor candle crew on the phones for a lot of yesterday trying to get more ingredients and resources and all the rest.
This is a first come first serve.
I am not promising.
Listen to me.
I am not promising that there will be an additional candle.
Okay.
I'm not promising that.
We are collecting orders right now.
We are doing our best.
I already told you so.
I'm sorry if you didn't get them yesterday.
A lot of you did get them yesterday.
Go to thecandleclub.com slash Knowles right now if you want your smells and bells candle for the next batch.
There will be some kind of next batch.
I don't know how big it will be.
Supplies are limited and the storm actually did not help the supply chains or anything.
There will be some.
If you want a chance at getting one, I'm glad that you're very enthusiastic about it.
I'm very enthusiastic about it too.
If you want a chance at getting one, you have to order it immediately and maybe you will get it.
It is thecandleclub.com.
Head on over there right now.
Thank you for ordering.
I'm very pleased.
You want to make your home smell like a 12th century monastery?
I love it.
It's my favorite candle we make.
Thecandleclub.com.
Turning back to Manhattan.
This is a story from the New York Post.
Okay.
Recycling Dead Bodies Ethically00:14:17
Backside from the dead, women chasing the perfect body are pumping, quote, ethically sourced cadaver fat into boobs and butts.
We're recycling.
Their words, not mine.
I'm just going to read you a little bit, just a little, a couple little sections from this article.
You can read the whole thing.
She recently ditched her barely there 32 A cups for 40, 42, sorry, 32B cup bazooms, getting a pair of motiva breast implants and several cc's of aloe clay in November.
What is aloe clay?
It's fat from dead people.
Wanting a natural and supple finish, the Pilates instructor entrusted Dr. Anna Steve of Nine Steen Plastic Surgery to round out her new embellishments with the liquid gold that's derived from the dead.
It's a grim detail Daphne often reminds herself to forget.
I have chosen not to think about it, the 38-year-old chuckled, referring to the creepiness of using fat from an anonymous cadaver source.
Dr. Anna explained that aloe clay would give me the best results.
And she was so right, added Daphne, gushing over the, quote, unparalleled confidence she's gained since boosting her bust.
Now, in case you're wondering where the dead people fat comes from, this company insists upon very rigorous standards.
The dead people have to be at least 18 years old, and they need to have had an autopsy.
So it can't be from children who are possibly not dead.
That's the standard here.
They are harvesting fat from bodies, but it's ethically sourced, meaning it's not from children, and the sources have been officially ruled to be dead.
So it's not from living children.
Okay.
Last little piece from the article.
It can sound jarring at first, Stacey, 34, a married financial specialist, told The Post.
But when you look at it scientifically, cadaver donor tissue has been used in medicine for decades.
Medicine.
Medicine now meaning making women's dairy airs look a little plumper.
The Manhattanite, who asked that her last name be withheld, I wonder why, used the harvested human remains for a mini Brazilian butt lift, BBL.
She also relied on the borrowed goods to fill her hip dips and to revise a botched liposuction job on her inner left thigh.
It's highly regulated and ethically sourced, she raved of the donations from the dearly departed.
It's like we're recycling.
They keep using this word ethically, and I'm not sure that word means exactly what we think it means.
This is really perverse.
I think most people hearing this story would say, this is really messed up.
This is something's gone a little, probably 100,000 things have gone wrong to lead us to the point where middle-aged, young-ish to middle-aged women are taking fat from dead people to make themselves look a little bit better.
Some of these women, by the way, are married, so I don't know who you're trying to impress.
This is more perverse even than it seems at first glance, though, because it's a fallen world.
You know, people do bad things.
That's been true always and everywhere since we got booted from the Garden of Eden.
However, there's a difference between typical vice and atypical vice.
You know, ordinary bad stuff and like really decadent, degenerate, especially crazy Sodom and Gomorrah type of bad stuff.
The typical vice is the old feeding on the young.
That's a typical vice.
The midlife crisis.
The guy in his 40s leaves his wife and shacks up with a 25-year-old secretary or something.
That's the typical vice.
That's what Dracula is about, right?
The older guy trying to become young again by feeding, usually in a sexual way, on young women.
That's the ordinary wickedness.
In this case, though, it's not the old feeding on the young.
It's the young-ish, young-ish to middle-aged feeding on the dead.
Whoa, whoa, man.
That is really creepy.
And it's ethical.
It's ethically sourced.
It's kind of like recycling.
Oh, to unpack that, we would need three days.
We don't have three days, so I'll fit it into one minute.
Recycling is a word that we get from environmentalism, environmentalism, which is one of the many replacements for traditional religion, Christianity, that has come out of liberalism, which was a way to try to preserve Christianity without Christ.
It was a way to try to keep religion without God.
And so you get all sorts of ideologies that replace religion in liberalism, be it Marxism, be it environmentalism, be it the sexual revolution, transgenderism, whatever.
There are all these kind of partial, trying to grab onto truths that become great perversions.
And so in this, they say, well, it's kind of like recycling.
Now, you can say some version of recycling might be okay.
In principle, you know, you throw out your plastic bottles in a different can.
Practically, it doesn't matter because it all just goes to East Asia and it's all just trash, basically.
But at least in theory, you could convince yourself, okay, this might be good for the natural environment.
Okay.
Recycling by taking the fat from dead people to make your rump look a little more plump, that's a little bit different, isn't it?
And some would say that it is especially unethical because it involves the desecration of dead bodies.
We kind of just generally desecrate dead bodies now in our society.
When Christendom was strong, there was a prohibition on cremation.
Now, a lot of people get cremated.
Maybe most people get cremated for all we know.
What is wrong about cremation?
It's considered licit even by the Catholic Church now in today's day and age, but I don't think it's good.
And the reason it's not good is symbolically it's not good because it symbolically implies a mockery of the resurrection of the body.
Christianity is distinguished from other religions in part because we believe in the resurrection of the body.
Not just the resurrection of an idea, not just the immortality of the soul, but the resurrection of the body.
We will have our bodies again, a glorified body.
So it's not that God can't, you know, bring up all the ashes or something, give us a glorified body, but it's just that symbolically we communicate, we're human beings, we communicate through symbols and rituals and these actions that have meaning.
Symbolically, it seems to undermine the resurrection of the body.
So we treat dead bodies well.
We bury them.
We put them in mausoleums.
We pray over them.
We have headstones where people go and visit and say prayers and all that kind of stuff.
And now we don't really do that.
We have funerals.
Now we don't really have funerals.
We try to get rid of dead bodies as quickly as we can.
We scatter the ashes.
Maybe we have a celebration of life later on.
We don't want to deal with this fact of death.
We don't want to think about the meaning of the immortality of the soul and certainly the resurrection of the body.
So we just try to forget about it.
We like to, we actually pretend that we just turn to worm food when we die, that nothing really happens, nothing really means anything.
And so then we end up desecrating bodies.
This was a major controversy during the scientific revolution and in the Renaissance because people were doing experiments on dead bodies.
But you can say, okay, there's some ethics to this because we're doing these experiments in order to improve human life and to cure illnesses.
And okay.
And now we've taken this to the point that we are scraping fat off of the dead bodies, which we treat as no different than any other kind of refuse.
We're scraping the fat off to make married 34-year-old women's butts look a little bigger.
For whom?
I guess their husbands, maybe for Instagram.
I don't really know.
This is a level of decadence that most people would not have been able to predict.
This is Nicola Tesla.
You will live to see horrors beyond your wildest imagination.
Beginning in New York, but it will not stay in New York.
The errors of New York, the errors of Russia spread throughout the world in the 20th century.
The errors of New York will spread throughout America.
Get ready.
Get ready for your girlfriend to have dead people's fat in her butt.
Not a sentence I expected ever to say on this show.
Now, speaking of death sentences, a tough, tough, tough day, a tough news cycle.
We'll get to the current Democrat claim that sending Haitians back to Haiti is a death sentence.
First, though, speaking of ethics and bodies and protections and the sacred, I want to tell you about pre-born.
Go to preborn.com slash Knowles, Canada WLAS.
Pregnancy can arrive unexpectedly.
For those facing an unplanned pregnancy, fear and uncertainty can feel overwhelming.
Past decisions and abortions may carry lingering grief that's hard to navigate alone.
That's where our sponsor, Preborn, steps in.
These clinics offer compassion and support without judgment, providing honest conversations, accurate information, and a safe space to process difficult emotions and explore real options.
One of the most powerful tools pre-born provides is ultrasound technology.
Seeing a developing baby on screen and hearing a heartbeat can bring clarity in moments of confusion.
For many, that simple appointment becomes a turning point, transforming fear into hope and uncertainty into confidence.
Pre-born walks alongside women through every stage of their journey, offering ongoing emotional support, practical resources, and community.
The impact is real.
Babies are born.
Families are formed.
Healing happens.
One ultrasound, that one moment can change everything.
You can be a part of it for just 28 bucks.
28 bucks covers the cost of that ultrasound.
Baby's chance at life is doubled.
I personally support this organization.
I strongly recommend you do as well.
All donations are tax-deductible.
100% of your donation goes directly to saving babies and building families.
They fundraise for overhead separately.
To donate securely, dial pound 250, say the keyword baby, B-A-B-Y.
This pound 250 is baby, or you go to preborn.com slash Knowles, Canada W-LAS, preborn.com slash Knowles.
A new Democrat talking point just dropped.
This care of Congressladies Laura Gillen and Frederica Wilson.
This is because Trump is ending temporary protective status for 350,000 Haitians who are in the United States.
The new argument is that sending Haitians back to Haiti is a death sentence.
Sending these people back to Haiti is basically a death sentence.
And that's why we are asking the administration to open up their hearts and to extend this TPS.
Okay, why is sending Haitians to Haiti a death sentence?
I'm trying to think of the most charitable, reasonable read of this.
I guess you could say it's because Haiti has natural disasters, right?
In that case, if someone is seeking refuge from a natural disaster, then sending them back to a place that is still reeling from the consequences of natural disaster, where they don't have food or water or shelter or whatever, I guess that would be a kind of a death sentence.
Maybe it could still be justified, but okay, I could understand that.
Is that the problem?
I don't think there's been a recent natural disaster in Haiti, but what specifically makes it a death sentence to send Haitians to Haiti?
They are terrorized.
They are terrorized.
Haitian nationals.
This is cruelty.
This is inhumane.
And this is a death sentence because we already know the consequences.
Because in Haiti, there's open warfare and rape.
There's ravaging violence against women and children.
There are no school days, no work schedule.
You do what the gangs want you to do.
Okay, so it's not a natural disaster.
It's not an earthquake or a snowstorm.
I don't think they get a lot of snowstorms in Haiti.
The reason that these Democrats are contending in unison that sending Haitians who have no right to be here in America, no long-term right, back to Haiti where they're from, the reason that that's a death sentence is because in Haiti, there are Haitians.
It's the Haitians.
They say, we can't expose these Haitians to Haitians.
The Haitians will kill them.
Why?
Because you're getting it straight from Frederica Wilson, Democrat Congress lady.
Because Haitians rape each other.
They commit a lot of violence.
There is total disorder in their community.
There are a lot of gangs.
They don't work.
They don't go to school.
They just rape and kill each other.
Per a supposed champion of the Haitians, Frederica Wilson, says, these Haitians, these Haitians are bad news, man.
If you send people to go live with Haitians, they'll die.
They'll get raped and assaulted and die.
Okay.
So then why would you send your own constituents to live with Haitians?
I'm not weighing in on the merits here.
I think there's probably a lot of truth to what Frederica Wilson is inadvertently saying here, but I'm not weighing in.
I'm not making any substantive claim about the Haitians.
I'm simply taking their premise at their word.
If that is the case, then what they are admitting here is they would never send Haitians to go live with Haitians.
It's so awful.
It's a death sentence.
But they would send all of their constituents to live with Haitians.
It would be terrible if Haitians were raped and assaulted and terrorized by gangs.
Therefore, Americans must be raped and assaulted and terrorized by gangs.
Speaking of Immoral Behavior00:15:21
That is the argument that the Democrats are making explicitly right now.
Seems like the Trump policy is probably a pretty smart one.
I'm all for charity.
I'm all for trying to be nice to people, recognizing America does have a global leadership role.
Yeah, of course.
So if there's an earthquake or something, something beyond the control of the people, a temporary problem, maybe we try to help them out.
Maybe.
If this is just how Haiti is, and it is, I mean, this is how Haiti has been for now like 230 years.
The Haitian Revolution began in, what, 1791?
It ended in 1804.
It culminated when the Haitians slaughtered all the remaining white people in Haiti, killed all of the French, men, women, and children, just slaughtered them all, raped the women first, but then slaughtered them all.
It's 1804.
It's 2026.
They haven't fixed it yet.
Haiti's only gotten worse.
So is their argument just we need to take all the Haitians?
Why would we allow any Haitians to live with Haitians?
It's a death sentence.
But then if we bring them here, then we're exposing all the Americans to the Haitians.
So then why would we tolerate any of these Haitians coming to the country if the Democrats are right about the Haitians?
Why would we do that?
Because their political agenda is, at least in principle, to help everybody else in the world and always to punish Americans, always to punish Americans.
For what?
They can't quite tell you.
They give you a thousand reasons, none of which makes sense, many of which are contradictory.
But that's what it's about.
The Democrats are running on this campaign.
Let's punish Americans.
Let's allow Americans, not just the Haitians, let's allow Americans to be raped and assaulted and subject to gang violence from Venezuelan criminals who come across the border, from Somalis who defraud the government and fund terrorism overseas and create havoc and disorder in our cities.
Let's always punish Americans for the supposed benefit of everybody else in the world.
And Trump is running on the policy of, hey, let's help Americans.
Let's, for once, put the American citizens first when it comes to American civil law and American national policy.
I'm starting to think, look, by all systemic measures, Republicans should lose the midterms big.
It's just what happens when a party takes the White House, usually the next time the other party takes the Congress, maybe the Senate.
And that's just how it works.
It's how the pendulum swings.
If that's what the Dems are running on, it's going to be hard.
Who knows?
We're living in unprecedented times.
We have a president who has a non-consecutive second term.
This is only the second time in American history that's happened.
I don't know.
Maybe this bodes well.
In any case, please, Republicans, clip this out.
This should be one of many campaign ads throughout the campaign.
Trump wants to get the rapists and the gang members and the murderers out of our country, and we want to keep them here.
Okay.
All right.
That's bold strategy.
We'll see how it works.
Speaking of immoral behavior, a story I've wanted to get to for at least a couple of days.
A Florida couple is suing an IVF company because this couple, Lily White is the Freshly Driven Snow, gave birth to a baby that appears to be Indian.
How'd that happen?
Either the wife has something to admit to the husband, but I don't think it's that because they went to IVF.
So I don't think it's that.
Or something went really wrong with IVF.
We'll get to that momentarily first, though.

My favorite comment, truly my favorite comment yesterday comes from Guzdz, who says, in response to my claiming, reading some of the Epstein files, that I was totally vindicated in my prediction, Guzd disagrees and says, Michael, I think the conspiracy theorists are more vindicated than MK on this one.
I have to challenge your premise because your premise is that when it comes to Epstein, I am not a conspiracy theorist.
I guess I'm not a conspiracy theorist, generally speaking, but when it comes to Epstein, you seem to suggest that I don't think there's a conspiracy.
And I don't know, maybe I wasn't clear in my show yesterday.
Maybe you missed what I said in my show yesterday.
Not only do I think Epstein was involved in a conspiracy, I think Epstein was involved in like a billion conspiracies.
I think we don't even know the number of conspiracies he was involved in.
I am many times over a conspiracy theorist when it comes to the case of Jeffrey Epstein because we have ample evidence of myriad conspiracies in the emails, more so in all the emails that come out, including one of them that we'll talk about today, which is Epstein managing money for Vladimir Putin.
There is no, you seem to think there's a contradiction here where there is none.
We'll get to that in a moment.
First, though, this Florida couple.
So, hold on, let me get rid of the article from the Times about the cadaverous Brazilian butt lifts.
Let's get to this strange couple.
Do I have it?
I don't have it.
They didn't give me my article.
Okay.
Well, that's very frustrating.
In any case, the story is of a Florida couple suing a fertility clinic after an embryo mixup.
Oopsie-daisy.
This is the birth of a non-Caucasian child, which is obviously biologically not theirs.
In a way, maybe biologically theirs if the woman gestated the baby, though she might have just hired a surrogate, as many people do in this industry.
And so, whoops, we got the wrong baby.
And now what are they going to do?
I wish I had the details of the story.
I'll flog my producers after the show for not giving me this article.
But the details almost don't matter.
actually have enough facts to come to a difficult conclusion about this.
I know a lot of people have used IVF.
IVF technology has been around for decades, though it's dramatically increased in prevalence as costs have come down a little bit and as restrictions on it have loosened up.
I know a lot of people, they say, well, I wouldn't have my kid if it weren't for IVF.
I wouldn't have this, that, or the other thing.
I wouldn't have my niece.
I wouldn't have my cousin.
I know, I know.
Good ends do not justify immoral means.
And I want to point out what happens here.
The couple, oopsie-daisy, they mixed up the embryos, they get the wrong baby.
The only two things that can happen now are that the couple that paid for the baby, you know, with their own genetic material, assuming that the genetic material was from the real mother and the real father, and there wasn't a further mix-up mixing up the sperm and the egg.
Either that couple, the Indian couple, gets the baby back, and the baby is just ripped away from the only parents the baby's ever known.
As how old is the baby now?
Six months, eight months.
Who knows how long that process could take?
A year, a year and a half.
Either they say, oh, sorry, baby, and they rip the baby away from the only parents, specifically the only mommy the baby's ever known, and give it back to this other couple, which is biologically the parents of the couple, of the baby, but nevertheless, the baby doesn't really know those parents, in which case the baby is traumatized.
Or they say, you know what?
No harm, no foul.
Sorry that you ended up with our baby.
But you know what?
You just keep that baby.
We'll use one of our other eggs that we paid for, or one of our other embryos that we paid for, and you can keep that baby and we'll just forget all about it.
In which case, the baby is intentionally deprived of his natural mother and father, in which case the baby is also traumatized.
There is no scenario in which the baby is not traumatized.
Not one.
Not one.
I posted this on X and someone said, oh, you know, it was Richard Hinania, who's a very liberal pseudo-ethicist, I guess, who has very, very confused ethics on everything.
And he said, oh, you know, it's a newborn baby.
The implication being that newborn babies can't be traumatized.
Six-month-olds can't be traumatized.
Babies don't have an attachment to the people they think are their mothers or fathers, especially the mothers.
They actually don't have as much of an attachment to the fathers.
Is that the idea?
Oh, you can't traumatize a baby.
This is that cope that you always hear.
They say, oh, kids are resilient.
All kids are resilient, which is merely an excuse to traumatize children and to not feel bad about it.
So that's what happens here.
I know that a lot of people have used IVF because I know that people struggle with fertility.
Some reasons that are just chosen, you know, they put off having kids too late because they want to go to brunches.
Some reasons that are natural.
There's a lot of weird stuff in the environment.
And it's a fallen world and some people struggle with infertility.
Sweet little Elise and I struggled with it for two years.
So I actually have first-hand experience of this.
I know how very difficult it worked out for us in the end because of other treatments that were not IVF.
But I understand, I personally know how difficult this is.
But I want to mince words here.
This entire industry is satanic.
The whole thing.
It's satanic.
It's completely unacceptable.
And I know the rejoinder that someone, probably people are already typing it out.
They say, well, I wouldn't have my kid if not for IVF.
And so nothing that produces my kid could possibly be wrong or immoral or evil.
And I would just remind you, rape produces children.
Rape produces children.
If you're pro-lifer, you don't think that kids should be murdered just because they were raped.
just because their mother was raped.
You don't think that kids are less than other kids just because they were conceived in rape and other kids were conceived in marital love.
Nevertheless, you would never use the fact of the goodness of the existence of that child to justify rape.
So we are admitting off the front, right, right at the beginning, that there are some ways to conceive children that are immoral.
and that should be against the law.
If you think that rape should be illegal, you are conceding immediately that there are some ways of producing children that are immoral and that should be against the law.
And so I have to ask you, when it comes to the IVF industry, do you think that it is good to create a situation in which kids can be traumatized?
No.
That should probably be illegal.
It is illegal to traumatize kids in a whole host of ways.
Okay.
And you say, well, this is just, this happens as a rare case.
First of all, it happens more often than you think, and there's a lot more litigation about this than you might think.
But second of all, just to consider the case of hiring surrogates.
In the case of hiring a surrogate, a child is being gestated in the womb of a woman who is the only mother that baby has ever known.
And the moment that baby is born, brought into this world, that baby is ripped away from that mother, whose voice the baby knows, whose feel the baby knows, being ripped away.
There is an immediate trauma.
There is an immediate injustice that's taken place.
In best case scenario, just with surrogacy.
Even if the baby goes to the baby's natural biological parents.
Furthermore, we would all agree that it's wrong to sell people, right?
We all think slavery is wrong and immoral.
The IVF industry exists to sell people, to go and custom order people and then to sell them.
So it reduces the most fundamental human bonds and connections to a mere commercial transaction.
Furthermore, in practice, IVF results in the killing of many, many, many babies because many embryos are created that are then indefinitely frozen or destroyed or frozen and then eventually destroyed.
So IVF practically almost always entails killing lots of children.
When you tally it all up, it massively increases the abortion, right?
The whole industry is satanic, not merely because accidents happen, though that's quite bad.
Not merely because it involves these injustices that some people try to push to the side, but because it commoditizes human life and it reverses the order of rights in procreation.
The only person who can be said to have rights in procreation is the right of a baby to be the product of the specific conjugal act of his natural mother and father.
When you come down to it, philosophically, anthropologically, that's the only person who can be said to have rights.
You don't have a right to buy a kid.
You don't have a right to another person's kid.
You don't have a right to kill your kids.
You don't have a right to order kids from scientists who are, in fact, merchants of human beings.
It is a hard saying.
I know.
People don't want to hear it.
But it's a fact.
And all who have ears to hear, let them hear.
Okay, before we go, story I have to get to.
The Septum rings are back.
The Septum rings are back.
This Septum lady had this to say regarding the ICE protests.
If you want to argue with me, I'll argue, but I got to let you know something.
I'm willing to burn my whole f ⁇ ing life to the ground.
I don't care.
I got nothing to lose.
I don't want to be here.
And I don't believe in heaven.
So f ⁇ with somebody else.
Okay, so I mentioned this because it's always the Septum Rings.
I did a deep investigation into this.
You can find it on my YouTube channel.
I suspect this is a lot of the activism you're seeing, notably from the middle-aged white ladies.
I've been a little tough on the middle-aged white ladies this show with the cadaver fat and all the rest of it.
I suspect this is a lot of it.
A crisis, specifically among middle-aged white ladies who are especially likely to take psychiatric drugs, to have all sorts of emotional problems, which are usually related to spiritual problems.
What does she say?
She goes, I don't give an F.
I don't want to be here.
I don't want to be here.
And I don't give an F and don't mess with me because I got nothing to lose.
I think that's true.
The Question of Epstein's Motives00:06:36
This is the consequence of a lot of errors.
Women like that need husbands.
Sorry, fellas.
Who's going to step up to the task?
I don't see a lot of volunteers.
I get it.
But women like that need husbands.
Men need wives, generally speaking, unless you have a religious vocation or some special circumstance.
Generally, women need husbands and men need wives.
That's how the world works.
We're coupling creatures.
We're inclined to live in ordered society and we're coupling creatures, especially.
When we don't have those kinds of supports, real supports, not just commercial, transactional, you know, this is my partner and we're just going to try to increase each other's private benefit as much as we can.
And then when we stop privately benefiting, we're going to split up and forget about contracts and forget about promises, certainly forget about sacred vows.
We're just individuals.
The consequences is people go crazy and they feel like they have no stake in the society.
This is why marriage is the fundamental building block of society.
That's why when you try to screw around with marriage and redefine marriage, you mess up all of society because that's the fundamental political unit.
And people feel like they don't have a stake.
And when they don't have a stake, they start to screw up a lot of the rest of society down to putting themselves in dangerous situations, blocking traffic, obstructing law enforcement, daring cops to shoot them.
Because at a deep level, a lot of these people have a death wish because there's a lot of nihilism that comes about when you turn away all of the obligations that you naturally have and you try to make yourself into a god, things stop making sense.
And you become very nihilistic, as she did.
Okay, before we go, I know we're running late.
There's one story I have to get to, though.
It's the Epstein thing.
This came out of the files.
This one's going around today.
Jeffrey Epstein was the wealth manager for Vladimir Putin and Robert Mugabe for Mugabe, too.
This is according to a confidential source.
So again, you don't know if the confidential sources are always right, but according to the FBI, he managed money for Putin and Mugabe.
We know from the emails that Epstein was meeting with Putin.
So the source said Epstein was President Blamer Putin's wealth manager and provided the same service for former Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe.
He had dirt on a lot of other people.
He had this appointment with Putin in 2011.
He did a lot of weird stuff.
He might have worked for Russian intelligence.
He might have worked for both Russia and Israel.
We know from some of the other sources, he might have worked with American intelligence, possibly MI6 intelligence.
This gets back to my favorite comment of the day, which says, Michael, the conspiracy theorists were right.
Yeah, they were much more right than they think they are, actually, is everyone is just focusing on the weird sex stuff.
Because Epstein had all these young women and some underage girls, girls who were teenagers.
Most of the women, I think, were not teenagers.
I think most of the women were just like women in their 20s for the less perverse, I guess, rich, influential, famous people.
But some of the girls were quite young, even more compromise.
Who was Epstein?
That's the question.
what a lot of people want, as I said yesterday, is not transparency.
And more than that, it's justice, but it's not even ultimately justice.
I think they want to know who this guy was.
What did he mean for the political order?
Was he a spy?
Or was he just a rich guy with lots of connections?
And so what the question really comes down to is how much of the Epstein operation was for his personal benefit, his personal enrichment, and how much of it was on behalf of some other entity or other state or other states.
That's the question.
And so when people say Epstein was a spy, I think they have this mistaken idea that it was, you know, Agent Epstein reporting for duty at Langley or Tel Aviv or Moscow or wherever.
The one thing I'm quite confident of is it wasn't Agent Epstein, because that's not really how spy work works.
Sure, there are some people who are career spies and in the Foreign Service and do that, but there's this gray area.
If you have spies, if you have James Bond over here and you have Joe Blow over here, there is a gray area of people with a lot of money or a lot of connections or a lot of power who aid intelligence agencies, one or multiple, but who are still doing stuff privately for their own benefit.
And that would seem to be what Epstein was.
He obviously had a ton of intelligence connections.
Some people are just trying to focus on one or two or this.
He seems to have had intelligence connections with like everybody, including intelligence agencies that fight each other.
So the question then becomes, how much of this was just a shyster who was trying to improve his status in the world?
And how many of this was a spy, a secret agent?
How patriotic was he?
Was this about his private gain or public benefit?
And the only way to answer that with anything approaching confidence is to see what happened in that jail cell.
And I know the cameras didn't work, but then they did work.
But then a minute was missing from the cameras and we don't really see what happened.
And that's what we have to know.
To start to answer that question, how much was he working for himself?
How much was he working for other people?
And who specifically was he working for the most?
I guess he was working for everybody, but he was one of these guys who just makes the wheels of government and business and those two are actually pretty related kind of move.
He was a connector.
He was a lubricant, pardon the evocative imagery, but that's kind of what he was.
The only way to answer that, the only way to start to answer that is to say who killed him?
Or was it himself?
And did someone allow him to kill himself if it was himself?
And that's the question.
And notice of all the juicy stuff that was coming out about Epstein, that's the one question ain't nobody going toward.
We're not getting any additional evidence on that.
Oh, look at this videotape.
But actually a minute's missing.
And oh, never mind.
Actually, the cameras didn't work.
And actually, they did work.
And actually, we're not getting that one ever, which totally vindicates my view, based on how the government releases information, how governments release information.
Either Epstein was who the mainstream is telling you he was, just a private guy.
It was all private.
It was all his own weird stuff privately.
Minute Missing00:02:55
And that was it.
And he killed himself.
And that's that.
In which case, we know everything we're going to know about him.
Or he was something more.
He was obviously something more.
In which case, take it to the bank.
You are not going to find out any more about it.
In which case, we already know everything we're going to know.
People find that unsatisfying.
They want their podcast host to come out and say, we're this close.
We're this close to finding out the truth.
We're hot on the case.
Those people, either they're stupid or they're lying to you.
We're not this close.
We have a rough idea of all the potentiality of all the things Epstein could be, but we are not this close to finding out what it was.
A lot of that will hinge on the circumstances of his death, which is the biggest black hole in the entire Epstein case.
