Michael Knowles attributes conservative moderation to dietary limits, contrasting it with leftism's alleged promotion of aggressive behavior and poor appearance. He predicts a 60-40 chance for Democrat Terry McAuliffe in Virginia despite Glenn Youngkin's grassroots anti-CRT campaign, arguing Democrats rig elections via mail-in voting laws while controlling media and schools to indoctrinate citizens against traditional values like flag saluting. Knowles further intensifies his opposition to public education due to vaccine mandates, echoing Dr. Harvey Risch's concerns, ultimately asserting the left uses schools to forge ideological conformity rather than admiration for figures like Thomas Jefferson.

And so, I was very quickly becoming like a big, fat...
Suburban guy.
And so I said, okay, you know, I'm gonna put some limits on it.
And actually this relates to the topic that I'm speaking about here and that a lot of people are speaking about at the National Conservatism Conference.
Limits.
You know, you got, you need some limits.
Even those of us who like the fried bologna, who are kind of done, I'm married, what do I care?
I mean, somewhat joking aside, but not fully joking aside, I have noticed, since I've been in more of these crazy right-wing radical conservative circles that I now travel in, people do look better.
They seem better.
They seem happier.
But I don't mean it looks like as if looks are so important, but I mean it has something to do with responsibility.
We're not saying that, you know... Well, it might be the case.
The conservatives are just born better looking.
It's possible.
But putting that aside for a second, there are these really sad videos, you can see them on YouTube or TikTok or whatever, of like a pretty girl who's like a pretty normal girl.
Can I give you the reverse of that, which is that if he does not win, sorry, if he does win, that the Democrats then will say the system is now all rigged, which they're saying anyway, despite wins.
They're still saying, because they just have it there, right?
So like Stacey Abrams is always out there saying the election was stolen from her.
Yeah, it was really, it was quite, you do come from a line of people in Sicily that have a way of...
But in California, I mean, I've used this example a million times, during the recall election, the envelope that you got, no matter which way you folded your ballot, you could either see that you voted yes on recall or Larry Elder's name, no matter which way you folded it.
And all you had to do was hold the envelope up to basically like this.
For Republicans to look at that and say, hey, you guys are changing the election rules and you're suppressing stories about Hunter Biden on Twitter or whatever.
You know, I think we have a legitimate claim for the ruling class to say that we, the people without any institutional power in this country, including in the military anymore, that we're the ones rigging the elections.
And it wouldn't just be you and me and all the other crazy right-wing conspiracists.
It would be Dr. Harvey Risch at Yale, a Yale epidemiologist, who just came out and said, if your child is in a school with a vaccine mandate, you should homeschool.
That's what I, you know, assuming your kid is healthy.
Lewis wrote this book about pain and suffering called The Problem of Pain.
It's a very good book.
And then he wrote another book called A Grief Observed, when his wife died.
So it's kind of the same book, except they're totally different books.
When it is real to you, when you have a real stake in it, it's the difference between, oh well, we should really change that policy, to I'm going to go rip somebody's heart out of his chest if he tries to screw with my kid.
They are, but they are only following their idea to the logical conclusion, right?
They're only, they're taking their idea, and frankly, it's the idea of public education to begin with.
This doesn't just go back 20, 30 years.
It doesn't just go back to Dewey.
It goes back to Horace Greeley or I mean it goes back to if people even further further than the idea that
It goes back to the revolutionary era, the idea that public education is supposed to form you, not just teach you the 2 plus 2 equals 4 and how to read and write, but also civic virtues, also morality and ethics, also to form a free citizen.
And what the left has done, since they've totally gotten their claws into education, is they are creating the type of citizens that they want.
Not the citizens who salute the flag and admire Thomas Jefferson, but the citizens who burn the flag and topple the statues.
