What does Elon Musk mean by believing in the teachings of Jesus?
Elon Musk declares his belief in the teachings of Jesus. Gavin Newsom proves that he was never taught the meaning of basic words in a spat with Ted Cruz. And Democrats lay out the master plan to lie their way through the midterms. I'm Michael Knowles, this is the Michael Knowles Show.
So
How did Gavin Newsom misunderstand basic words in his spat with Ted Cruz?
Welcome back to the show. Do you remember when 300,000 migrant kids just went missing under Joe Biden and no one really looked for them and no one could account for them? And President Trump's administration, Tom Holman just announcing this, they've found 145,000 of the kids. So they found about half the kids.
What is the Democrats' strategy for the upcoming midterms?
What happened to the kids? We'll get to that momentarily. First, on this Ash Wednesday, I want to tell you about Halo. Go to halo.com slash Knowles. We are here. Almost at Lent. Beginning today, Ash Wednesday, our sponsor, Hallows, inviting you to take Lent seriously with Pray 40, The Return, a 40-day journey of daily prayer leading up to Easter featuring Jonathan Rumi, Father Mike Schmidt, Sister Miriam James, Jeff Cavins, Mark Wahlberg, Chris Pratt, and others. Lent is the church's annual reminder that self-mastery matters, that virtue requires discipline, that becoming who God intends us to be means removing the things, habits, distractions, comforts that stand in the way. Through prayer, fasting, and self-giving, we make room for God's mercy, grace, and love to do their work.
At the center of Pray 40, The Return is one of the most profound stories ever told, the parable of the prodigal son, a reminder that no matter how far someone falls, redemption remains possible. This year's challenge also draws inspiration from the brothers Karamazov, a serious meditation on belief and doubt, guilt and forgiveness, and the moral responsibility to bear one another with grace. Throughout Lent, Jonathan, Rumi, and Sister Miriam James will guide daily prayer and meditation. Fridays include fasting challenges, and Saturdays feature thoughtful faith conversations. Right now, go to hallow.com, take part in Hallow's Lent Challenge. Pray 40. The return is for you. Mardi Gras over. Les bons temps have roulaid.
It is now Ash Wednesday, a very important penitential season as we await Good Friday and Easter Sunday. And to kick it off, Elon Musk just posted yesterday on Twitter, on X, I agree with the teachings of Jesus. This was in response to one of these pseudonymous Twitter accounts. I don't know. I say I'm a millennial. Sue me.
What happened to the 300,000 migrant kids that went missing?
Sue me that I forget to say X. It was in response to one of these pseudonymous accounts that was evangelizing and Elon responds and he goes, I agree with the teachings of Jesus, which is great. And Elon should be encouraged in this. And we all really like Elon. And Elon is one of the most important figures in our political order. And he has done more to restore America and a traditional conception of America and a conception of America that leaves a lot of room for religion than basically anybody else in the country. But now we got to ask Elon a question. If Elon believes in the teachings of Jesus... What about that teaching of Jesus, which our Lord repeats, that he is God? What about that? Because our Lord tells us, love your enemies.
And our Lord tells us, love the true God, love your God above all things. And our Lord tells us, let he who is without sin cast the first stone. And our Lord teaches us a lot of things. Blessed are the poor in spirit. He teaches us a lot of these things. But the central teaching, the crucial fact, is that he is God. And he teaches this repeatedly. He says, before Abraham was, I am. He says, whoever has seen me has seen the Father. The Father and I are one. He says that he's God. So what does that teaching imply for our lives and our actions? This is a question not only for Elon, but for anyone who is attracted to the teachings of Christ. Because a lot of people, they just want to go a little bit, they want to go halfway, and they want to say, well, I think Christ is a great moral teacher.
C.S. Lewis very famously mocks this notion because he can't just be a great moral teacher because he claims he's God.
