A Trudeau fellow in Canada, a Trudeau fellow, no less, named after a prime minister, two prime ministers of Canada, admits that assisted suicide is mostly for killing white people. Democrats pretend to be Christian for the midterm elections, and Elmo goes Muslim for Lent. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show.

63.481 - 76.461

Thank you.

77.791 - 103.287 Michael Knowles

Welcome back to the show. A priestess of some heretical denomination is going viral right now wearing a planned parenthood stole explaining how life in the womb is sacred and how abortion is sacred too. We'll get to some theological confusion. First though, at the level of nature, I want to tell you about Balance of Nature. Go to balanceofnature.com.

104.068 - 121.45 Michael Knowles

I'm going to tell you something and I want you to tell me the truth. You have no idea what a phytonutrient is, right? You don't, you don't, that's fine. I wouldn't either, it's okay. That is why our sponsor Balance of Nature is here to make getting those phytonutrients in your diet so simple.

122.211 - 135.909 Michael Knowles

Phytonutrients are naturally occurring plant nutrients in whole foods that give fruits and vegetables their color, their taste, and their smell. If you are eating something with vibrant color and real flavor, that is a pretty good sign that you are getting phytonutrients.

Chapter 3: What shocking admission was made about assisted suicide in Canada?

145.86 - 163.147 Michael Knowles

Just the real stuff. And their whole health system is essentially a value bundle that combines fruits and veggies with their fiber and spice supplements. So you're getting 47 different ingredients along with all those naturally occurring phytonutrients right now. I don't care if you've been on the fence, you've been wondering, should I go check out Balance of Nature? Now is the time.

163.167 - 190.447 Michael Knowles

I strongly recommend you go to balanceofnature.com, order the whole health system supplements as a preferred customer today. Really, really sad story out of Canada. Before I get to an expert testifying to the Canadian government about how the medical assistance in dying, also called euthanasia, which is a euphemism, means a good death. It's actually the worst kind of death.

0

191.108 - 202.902 Michael Knowles

It's just assisted suicide. It's the government sanctioning and even encouraging people to kill themselves. Even before the debate that's gone viral in which an expert admits that assisted suicide is mostly about killing white people in Canada.

0

Chapter 4: How are Democrats reshaping their Christian messaging for elections?

203.523 - 230.263 Michael Knowles

Here's an example of that. Just so awful. Reported in the Daily Mail, distraught family blasts Canada for euthanizing son, 26 years old, who suffered from seasonal depression. 26 year old guy, basically healthy, has seasonal depression. The government encourages this kid and in fact helps him to carry out suicide. This is the slippery slope.

0

230.704 - 248.663 Michael Knowles

Remember when they started talking about assisted suicide decades ago, What did the Libs say? Oh, it's only for the people who are in extraordinary physical pain, who are 155 years old, who are nearing the end of their lives anyway. And this is to help them avoid pain, to take greater control over their suffering. And we said, you know what's going to happen?

0

248.984 - 270.482 Michael Knowles

First of all, it's not acceptable even in those cases. That fundamentally misunderstands the point of life. That's going to encourage people who are elderly, who do have serious illnesses. That's going to encourage them to fall into despair, a grave sin, to consider themselves a burden on their families or a burden on society. So even in that case, it's really awful.

0

270.863 - 287.451 Michael Knowles

But what it's going to do is it's going to slip on down that slide and all of a sudden you're going to get people with less grievous illnesses. All of a sudden, you're going to get people who are much younger who are killing themselves and doing so with the sanction and encouragement of the state. That's exactly what's happened here. Just a little bit from the story.

287.491 - 315.998 Michael Knowles

This kid, a young man, Keanu Vafan, a 26-year-old guy who had some problems. He was blind. He had diabetes, type 1 diabetes. These are not fatal illnesses. There's serious problems. You know, it's tough, cross to bear, but a lot of people suffer from those ailments. He was killed. He killed himself and doctors helped him kill himself and the government encouraged him to kill himself.

316.758 - 330.718 Michael Knowles

How did this guy, whose worst medical problems were blindness and diabetes, how did he qualify for medical assistance in dying, which we were told is only for the most grievous terminal illnesses? Well,

331.591 - 348.474 Michael Knowles

according to the poor guy's mother, apparently this guy's doctor, Dr. Wiebe, was coaching her son on how to qualify as a TRAK2 patient, which is for the people whose natural deaths are not deemed reasonably imminent.

348.494 - 367.015 Michael Knowles

So the people who aren't going to die anytime soon, but they want to kill themselves anyway, and these psycho doctors and this psycho government of America's psycho neighbor, the evil top hat of America, Canada, are encouraging them. encouraging them by discouraging them, by taking away their courage, by taking away their heart, by leading them into despair.

368.176 - 385.478 Michael Knowles

According to the mother, we believe that she was coaching him on how to deteriorate his body and what she can possibly approve him for and what she can get away with approving him for. Okay, so it's really, really sad. And this is a really clear example of something that an expert on assisted suicide in Canada, who is even a Trudeau fellow.

Chapter 5: Why is Elmo's new religious identity causing a stir during Lent?

671.784 - 689.646 Michael Knowles

That's the practical argument for assisted suicide. And so when you point out that that's extremely evil, they say, no, don't worry. We're protecting vulnerable populations from assisted suicide. Wait, wait, wait. Five seconds ago, you were telling me assisted suicide was a good thing. Now we have to protect people from it. Which is it? We know what it is.

0

689.726 - 717.006 Michael Knowles

Now, speaking of morality, there are libs here in America who are trying to convince us that after years and years of the left denigrating religion, mocking those Bible-clinging, bitter-clinging, Bible-thumper, awful, regressive conservative Christians... What we're now being told is actually the Democrats not only like Christianity, but they're the real true Christians.

0

Chapter 6: What controversial statement did a Trudeau fellow make about euthanasia?

717.427 - 726.913 Michael Knowles

Quite a shift in messaging ahead of the midterms. We'll get to that because it just took place on Stephen Colbert's stupid show, which can't be canceled fast enough. First, though. I want to tell you about Leaf Filter.

806.699 - 830.436 Michael Knowles

That is 35% off at leaffilter.com slash Knowles. See representative for warranty details. Big update to the Democrat messaging. I don't know if the various robots and automatons that are projecting the Democrat message ahead of the midterms. I don't know if they've all received the update yet, but the old messaging said Christianity bad, Bible thumpers bad.

0

830.551 - 856.345 Michael Knowles

People who believe in Christ are just a bunch of rubes, basically. All the smart people are atheists, secularists. They move past that retrograde religion. Now the upgrade says, no, no, no. Christianity, good, actually. But conservatives, not real Christians. No, no, no. We are the real Christians. Here is James Tallarico. He's running for Senate in Texas. He goes on Stephen Colbert's show.

0

856.666 - 880.594 Michael Knowles

Stephen Colbert made a big point to highlight this interview. In fact, Colbert claimed that CBS, his current employer, was trying to kill the interview. Because he said the FCC was threatening CBS and CBS tried to threaten Colbert and kill the interview. And then CBS came out and said, that's totally bogus, Stephen, that you made that up. And Colbert is not backing down from it.

0

880.614 - 888.148 Michael Knowles

It's big hullabaloo to bring a lot of attention because Colbert thinks this is a really important message for Democrats in November. Here's the message.

0

889.748 - 910.609 Unknown

Well, for 50 years, the religious right, a political movement, that is the perfect description for it. They convinced a lot of our fellow Christians that the most important issues were abortion and gay marriage. Two issues that aren't mentioned in the Bible, two issues that Jesus never talked about.

911.382 - 940.495 Unknown

Jesus in Matthew 25 tells us exactly how you and I and every one of our fellow believers, how we're going to be judged and how we're going to be saved. By feeding the hungry, by healing the sick, by welcoming the stranger. Nothing about going to church, nothing about voting Republican. It was all about how you treat other people. Don't, don't... I've said...

941.133 - 958.449 Unknown

I've said before, don't tell me what you believe. Show me how you treat other people and I'll tell you what you believe. And I think in our faith, we've got to get back to those fundamentals. My granddad was a Baptist preacher in South Texas.

958.469 - 978.337 Michael Knowles

Oh, I can tell. I can tell. You got that slick tongue, that silver tongue devil, Tallarico. He doesn't have the morality to back it up. He doesn't have the serious biblical exegesis to back it up, but he is a silver-tongued devil, isn't he? You know, listen, no, guys, no, Christianity is great, but we're the real Christians.

979.139 - 991.66 Michael Knowles

If you were really a Christian... Jesus never said you had to vote Republican. He said you had to vote Democrat. That's the new message. Okay, all right. I guess hypocrisy is the tribute vice pays to virtue, as La Rochefoucauld tells us. So...
