Summary

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who studied economics in college and writes economic policy in Congress, can’t name the most prominent economist of the 20th century. MSNBC’s Katy Tur doesn’t know how senators get elected. And Joe Biden wants to ban guns that don’t exist. The problem isn’t that our alleged elites are ignorant; it’s that they know so much that isn’t so. We examine the root of their confusion. Then, Joe Biden collapses in the polls, Bloomberg surges, and Snoop Doggy Dogg gets the media to expose themselves. Check out The Cold War: What We Saw, a new podcast written and presented by Bill Whittle at https://www.dailywire.com/coldwar.

0:00.0	Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who studied economics in college and writes economic policy in Congress,
0:06.7	can't name the most prominent economist of the 20th century. MSNBC's Katie Turr doesn't know
0:12.8	how senators get elected. And Joe Biden wants to ban guns that don't exist. The problem isn't
0:20.0	that our alleged elites are ignorant. It's that they know so much that isn't so. We examine the
0:26.2	root of their confusion. Then Joe Biden collapses in the polls, Bloomberg surges, and Snoop Dogg
0:32.7	Dog gets the media to expose themselves. All that and more. I'm Michael Knowles, and this is the
0:37.0	Michael Knowles show.
0:45.4	Oh, we've got so much to get to. AOC is out here educating all of us about economists that don't
0:54.4	exist. We have to wonder how our elites got so profoundly ignorant. I think I have the answer
1:01.2	actually. We will all be less ignorant when we figure that one out. But first, I've got to thank
1:05.9	our friends over at Ebb Sleep. You know me. I like to get at least 18, 19 hours of sleep at night.
1:12.1	That's not always possible. But there is a way if you are having trouble sleeping to get a few more

1:25.2	and precisely cools the forehead to reduce those racing thoughts and allow people who suffer
1:30.9	from sleeplessness to drift more comfortably into a deeper, more restorative sleep. If you suffer
1:36.8	from insomnia, if you have trouble sleeping, a lot of people in my family have trouble sleeping.
1:40.7	One of the reasons for that is your mind is just always racing. The mind's normal way of dealing
1:45.2	with stress and challenges is to just be on guard, to be really tense, to be vigilant in the middle
1:50.2	of the night. That stops you from getting a restful night's sleep. That's where Ebb comes in.
1:54.6	Ebb is clinically validated and four out of five users report falling asleep faster and improving
2:01.9	overall sleep quality. It's also very good if you have a headache. Same kind of thing going on.
2:08.2	But if you've got those racing thoughts, Ebb is the way to cool your mind down and get that sleep
