The barbarians who are tearing down our nation's statues and history and entire culture over the
00:00:06.580
past few weeks have pretended that they are doing it sparked by the officer involved killing of
00:00:13.420
George Floyd. That's been the line. They've been saying, say their names. That's been one of the
00:00:18.620
slogans of the entire rioting. However, the national political leaders of this rioting,
00:00:25.220
Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, when pressed on it, can't actually remember the name of the guy
00:00:30.380
they're saying, say their name to prompt all of the rioting. For the families of Floyd Taylor,
00:00:38.420
George Taylor. I only will do that if you tell me that this legislation is worthy of George Kirby's
00:00:45.420
name. Worthy of George Kirby's name. George Kirby, by the way, was an American comedian from the 1960s
00:00:51.400
and 70s and also a convicted drug dealer. He got pinched by the cops for dealing Coke and heroin
00:00:57.360
in the 70s and then later went into schools and told everyone not to do drugs. That's sort of
00:01:01.340
beside the point. Nancy Pelosi doesn't know George Floyd's name and neither does Chuck Schumer.
00:01:05.860
But of course, they don't remember the name because it was never about George Floyd.
00:01:12.380
What is happening still today around the country is an ideological attack on our country, on our
00:01:18.580
culture and on our civilization. We should all say their names, all of the names. We should say the
00:01:25.860
names of the victims of police brutality, the names of the victims of mob brutality. And most
00:01:31.300
importantly of all, this is probably the least popular group to say their names. We should say
00:01:35.240
the names of the people whose statues are being toppled down, the people who built this country.
00:01:40.160
I'm Michael Knowles and this is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:01:48.580
The left does not want to say their names. We'll get to why in just one second. First,
00:01:55.300
though, I got to thank our friends over at Ring. You know that these days it's good to protect
00:02:02.000
yourself against people who want to steal your packages and shipments. We are home a lot more
00:02:07.160
than usual these days. And every day we don't know, are we going to stay home? Are we going to go to the
00:02:10.800
office? Are we going to be able to go out? It's hard to keep an eye on things. Hard to get into a
00:02:14.460
routine. Ring is on a mission to make neighborhoods safer. Their home security products are designed to
00:02:19.860
give you peace of mind around the clock. From video doorbells and security cameras to smart

00:02:41.440
I trust them so much that I give out Ring as a housewarming present to my friends. Part of the
00:02:45.900
reason I do this is because it's so cool. You can check on your home when you're in the office or on
00:02:50.040
a beach. The other reason is it's fairly inexpensive so that you get a lot of good credit for giving it

00:03:15.480
The left does not want to say their names. They say they want to say their names, but they don't
00:03:21.400
want to say their names. They want to erase their names. They want to erase specific names and specific
00:03:28.060
people with general abstractions. That's what you see all the time. In the cases of allegations of
00:03:34.480
police brutality, if the alleged police brutality doesn't even turn out to be true, doesn't matter.
00:03:39.040
What do they say? They say, well, forget about that specific instance. Just talk about the larger
00:03:43.220
truth, even if they don't have any specific instances to build up to their larger truth.
00:03:47.480
And when we're talking about specific cases like the killing of George Floyd, they pretend it's about
00:03:51.980
George Floyd, but it's not really. It's about this general ideological idea completely disconnected
00:03:57.580
from facts. This has no logical end to it. There's no limiting principle rather. Progressives are now
00:04:06.940
willing to erase the names even of the most famously progressive president in U.S. history.
00:04:14.600
Which one am I talking about? I'm talking about Woodrow Wilson. Princeton University has a,
00:04:20.260
had, I should say, a school of public affairs and international relations that was named after
00:04:27.360
Woodrow Wilson. Had until about three days ago when they renamed the school. I cannot believe
00:04:33.560
that I am defending Woodrow Wilson. Sort of. I'm not really defending him. Woodrow Wilson is one of
00:04:38.640
the worst presidents in American history. But that's not why he's being canceled. He's being canceled
00:04:43.440
because, not, not because of the League of Nations, not because he totally undermined American
00:04:49.340
government, not, not because he screwed up international relations for a century. It's because of another one of
00:04:56.300
his flaws, which is that he was very, very racist. And, you know, he's screened movies like Birth of a
00:05:01.960
Nation in the White House. And so now they're canceling him. I'm very torn. How am I supposed to feel about
00:05:07.060
this? I don't like when we topple statues and erase people from history and rename buildings because of
00:05:13.360
changing social mores. I also don't like Woodrow Wilson. I think he's one of the worst presidents in
00:05:21.980
American history. Even conservatives should oppose this kind of thing. Even conservatives should defend
00:05:28.920
Woodrow Wilson, who is probably the least conservative president we've ever had. Carter and Obama, I guess,
00:05:34.640
are up there too. But Wilson really much, much worse because of how significant he was. When I mentioned that
00:05:41.040
it's probably a dumb idea to rename Woodrow Wilson's school, there was a conservative blogger who took issue with me.
00:05:47.820
And he said, look, it's, it's good to lose Wilson. Wilson was a bad president. Do you agree? Do you
00:05:53.940
think Wilson was a good, good guy or a bad guy? And which I think kind of misses the point. And in a way
00:05:58.960
he was kind of making my point. And then he said, look, at a time where we're so at each other's
00:06:04.460
throats, I think it's just good that we can all come together and dislike Woodrow Wilson. And this is
00:06:09.720
the problem. Okay. This is what, this is the trap that some conservatives are falling into. And we're only
00:06:16.240
going to realize that we've fallen into it. I think once our entire culture is gone.
00:06:21.260
Yes. Woodrow Wilson is a president that conservatives don't like, but when we tear down his
00:06:28.160
statues, when we rename schools that are named after him, we buy into the left's premises that
00:06:36.440
we need to constantly be toppling statues and liberating ourselves from the oppressive past
00:06:41.800
and looking down on those bad people in the, in the past, those bad ancestors, looking on
00:06:47.160
the tradition in the past with such ingratitude that we ripped down their names. When we buy into
00:06:51.900
that leftist premise of toppling statues, then any victory we might have over Woodrow Wilson,
00:06:57.460
who cares, is a Pyrrhic victory. It's a victory in which we actually lose because we've bought into
00:07:04.320
the premise of our adversaries and there's no end to that at all. Fine. Okay. It's fine that they're
00:07:12.420
going to, uh, Woodrow Wilson's a bad guy and a Democrat. I've been saying that for years,
00:07:16.320
but for instance, what this one conservative blogger said to me is that I'm fine with something not
00:07:22.080
being named after Wilson. Yeah, me too. But that's not the question. The school is already named after
00:07:26.980
Wilson. The question is, are we going to rename things and pull down statues? And if you, if you give
00:07:30.920
in, that's what I've been saying all week on the Lee thing, on General Lee, when you give in on Lee,
00:07:36.800
you've given in on Lincoln and you've given in on St. Junipero Serra and you've given in on Jesus,
00:07:41.860
which is now, that's how quickly we've escalated into the attacks on statues is now they're talking
00:07:47.480
about smashing windows of Jesus. And very few people have had the cojones to defend any of these
00:07:53.720
figures. But speaking of Jesus, there was one priest over the weekend in St. Louis, even St.
00:07:59.920
Louis, another saint has come under attack and the mob wants to rename the city of St. Louis and
00:08:05.420
tear down a St. Louis statue. So this priest decided to show up great young priest and give
00:08:11.320
everyone a history lesson. Take a listen. I've already been asked questions. I'm willing to
00:08:15.600
answer them. You have to listen to the answer. They don't want to listen. So St. Louis was a man
00:08:22.020
who had authority thrust upon him. He didn't do anything to earn it. You're right. He didn't do
00:08:29.940
anything to earn it. What did he do with that authority? Do you know what he did? Go down to
00:08:35.660
the St. Louis cathedral. They're not going to the cathedral. And you'll see some of the history that
00:08:38.660
St. Louis did. St. Louis was. St. Louis was a man who willed to use his kingship to do good for his
00:08:49.560
people. This is shocking. They can't imagine a king did good. That's not possible. St. Louis had nothing to do
00:08:58.560
with Africans. Okay? Do you know who lived in Tunisia? Where did he invade? He got in Tunisia. Where did
00:09:06.520
he invade? Egypt. Do you know who lived in Tunisia? Do you know who lived in Tunisia? He was bad against
00:09:12.960
Africans because he went to Tunisia. But the Arabs lived in Tunisia. The Arabs had taken over Tunisia by that
00:09:22.800
century. Tunisia is Africa. And the Arabs had killed all the Africans in Tunisia in the 700s. They can't take that
00:09:30.580
fact. They don't want to hear anything about that fact. So you have this great priest who's a young guy. I don't know
00:09:35.140
what is he in his 20s. And he shows up and he just gives these people a history lesson. And he says, what are you
00:09:40.340
you're angry at St. Louis? Because of what? Because he was bad to Africans? What do you? He wasn't. Africans had
00:09:49.900
nothing to do with the reign of St. Louis. Oh, well, he, he went into Tunisia. Well, Tunisia was run by
00:09:56.300
Arabs, Arabs who had invaded Tunisia and were not particularly nice to the Africans who were there
00:10:01.340
and sold thousands and thousands of them into slavery. It doesn't matter though. This is what
00:10:06.980
happens, by the way, when you take out any kind of historical education from schools. I mean, you,
00:10:12.500
right now, Western European history is basically not taught. Even when I was in school, which, you know,
00:10:18.020
I graduated high school in 2008, even then European history was not taught. It was an AP elective if
00:10:23.880
you wanted to take it. But this is what happens. People don't know anything about their own culture.
00:10:28.360
St. Louis was a saint. His mother famously said, I had rather see you dead at my feet than guilty of
00:10:33.860
a mortal sin. He was very good to his people. He was a very just king. And here you see a little bit
00:10:39.380
of this abstract ideology of liberalism is they don't know anything about St. Louis, but they know that
00:10:46.560
according to liberalism, we always have to be liberating ourselves from the oppressive past.
00:10:50.680
Any king must be terrible. Any democracy must be wonderful. Anything in the olden days must be
00:10:55.660
bad. Anything now must be good. Though I think with all the rioting and the statue toppling and
00:11:00.620
the madness, a lot of people wouldn't mind living under St. Louis right now compared to some of the
00:11:06.280
woke mob that's now taken over our country. So what is going to happen about this? Finally,
00:11:10.620
finally, the president has signed an executive order to protect the statues. Is it too little,
00:11:16.580
too late? Or is it going to do something? I think actually it's already turning out pretty well. We'll
00:11:20.460

00:12:31.180
So President Trump just signed this executive order to protect statues. The executive order
00:12:36.760
in the 30,000 foot view prohibits desecration of public monuments and vandalism on government
00:12:43.020
property and all of the recent acts of violence that we've been seeing everywhere. Crucially,
00:12:48.620
it withholds federal money and funding that is tied to public spaces from state and local governments
00:12:55.420
that fail to protect the public monuments. So if the, if the local government, we talked about this
00:13:00.240
when we sat down with Attorney General Bill Barr last week. He said that the trouble here is the
00:13:05.960
federal government can't be everywhere at all times, nor would we really want it to be. So you've
00:13:11.160
got to rely on state and local governments to protect these places. And if they're not going to do it,
00:13:15.160
then we're in a little bit of a bind. Well, one thing we can do is withhold money from them.
00:13:19.340
It also withdraws federal grants for jurisdictions and law enforcement agencies that fail to stop their
00:13:24.440
desecration. So another thing that's been driving us crazy is you see people tearing down these
00:13:29.080
statues. It's obviously very organized and we'll get to just how organized this movement is in a moment.
00:13:34.700
And you say, where are the cops? Now I get it. The cops are between a rock and a hard place because
00:13:38.600
if they don't do their jobs, I'm going to criticize them. And if they do do their jobs,
00:13:42.320
they might get charged with murder or something, right? I mean, they're obviously very unpopular
00:13:47.120
right now. They don't have any political support. So I sympathize with the cops here. But if law
00:13:53.580
enforcement is not going to stop the rioting and not going to stop the desecration, then they're
00:13:57.960
going to lose their funding. And really that's just a political problem for state and local to figure
00:14:01.920
out. So I'm glad President Trump did this. Actually, he did something over the weekend though
00:14:06.960
that I like even more. He tweeted out the images of people who have not been caught. They are fugitive
00:14:14.480
criminals who have torn down public property and our history and our culture. He tweeted out their
00:14:20.860
photos and he said, we're looking for this person. If you can identify them, let us know because we're
00:14:25.780
going to arrest them and prosecute them and throw them in prison for 10 years. Love this.
00:14:30.740
Mm-hmm. I love it. It's as though he listens to this show. Maybe other people have been saying it
00:14:35.900
too, but I certainly have, which is that conservatives need to buck up and use the institutional power we
00:14:42.260
have, what little institutional power we have to actually affect our political ends. One of which is
00:14:49.860
save the statues, save our culture. Well, how can we do that? Local law enforcement has its hands tied
00:14:57.260
behind its back. The local and state governments aren't going to help at all. The administrative
00:15:02.160
state doesn't particularly want to do anything. As I said, the only thing we really have at our
00:15:06.580
disposal is the bully pulpit. Talk radio and Trump's Twitter account. We can talk till we're
00:15:11.260
blue in the face. Well, one way to use those things is to put their photos up there on Trump's
00:15:16.280
Twitter account, which everybody is paying attention to. Some conservatives, I think, some of the more
00:15:21.260
squishy types, they don't like this. They say, oh, it's too personal. It's too, Trump is getting too
00:15:26.700
down in the muck. He should not be the one. Yes, he should. Trump is the actual chief law enforcement
00:15:32.300
officer in the country. We refer to the attorney general that way, but who's the attorney general's
00:15:36.300
boss and the executive? It's the president. Trump absolutely should be doing this. I love it. I think
00:15:41.260
this kind of thing is exactly what we elected him for. This is the right idea. And the press is furious
00:15:48.460
because now that he's finally fighting back after weeks, I think he should have done it earlier,
00:15:53.660
but now that he's finally fighting back, the left is starting to pivot. They're pivoting back to
00:15:57.320
Corona, coronavirus, and they're pivoting back to Russiagate. Seriously, they're pivoting back to
00:16:03.380
Russia. The New York Times over the weekend published this piece alleging that Russia, quote,
00:16:10.000
secretly offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants for killing coalition forces in Afghanistan.
00:16:17.580
Now, that, I don't know whether or not that allegation is true. That on its own is not a news
00:16:22.700
story. Russia is an adversary of the United States, so I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to get our
00:16:28.040
troops when they're in Afghanistan. As you'll recall, in the 1980s, we spent a good, good time
00:16:33.040
trying to get their troops when they were in Afghanistan, so this conflict goes back a little
00:16:36.600
bit of a long way. Here's the issue. The New York Times alleged that Trump knew about it. The Times
00:16:44.640
writes, the intelligence finding was briefed to President Trump and the White House's National Security
00:16:50.440
Council discussed the problem at an interagency meeting in late March, the officials said.
00:16:55.720
So now they're saying Trump knew about this in late March, and he hasn't, and the implication being
00:16:59.340
he hasn't done anything to Russia yet. The implication being he's a stooge for Russia, or he's really weak
00:17:05.560
for Russia, or, or Putin's got something on him, right? It's the same trash that we've been hearing for
00:17:11.360
now four years with no evidence whatsoever and a lot of evidence to the contrary. And the Times,
00:17:17.080
though, they're so desperate because the statue thing and the coronavirus thing, it didn't work
00:17:21.420
to completely destroy Trump. So they're going back to, to their old bag of tricks and trying to say
00:17:27.120
that, that Trump is a Manchurian candidate for Russia. Now, the director of national intelligence,
00:17:31.920
John Ratcliffe, smacked down this theory. He said, quote, I have confirmed that neither the president
00:17:37.500
nor the vice president were ever briefed on any intelligence alleged by the New York Times in its
00:17:43.880
reporting yesterday. Somebody's lying. Either it's the director of national intelligence or
00:17:50.360
it's the New York Times. DNI or NYT, my money would be on the New York Times lying. Why?
00:17:58.240
Because the New York Times keeps getting Russia wrong. Do you remember? Let me take you back
00:18:03.620
three years, over three years, to Valentine's Day, 2017. New York Times runs a headline. Trump campaign
00:18:10.320
aides had repeated contacts with Russian intelligence. They were running with this. This
00:18:15.580
is a big story. They loved this story. And then we got James Comey testifying. James Comey, one of their
00:18:22.980
guys, big lefty, hates Donald Trump. But because Comey was giving testimony, he had to admit that the
00:18:29.880
New York Times story was not true. It was not true. They got it wrong. The New York Times, whenever they
00:18:36.380
write about Russia, I don't know why. They get it wrong. Maybe they've got weak sources. Maybe they've
00:18:40.800
got weak journalistic standards. I'm not saying that Russia didn't, didn't go after U.S. troops in
00:18:49.240
Afghanistan. That might have happened. But the thing is, we get so much intelligence every day,
00:18:55.380
right? There's just a virtually limitless amount of intelligence that comes in. The president doesn't
00:19:00.960
get briefed on all of that intelligence. And so the claim that's made here is that the president
00:19:06.460
got briefed on it. No evidence of that whatsoever. Terrible track record at the New York Times.
00:19:10.860
And the timing is just so convenient. Because as we move on from one completely manufactured crisis,
00:19:15.780
from another completely manufactured crisis, now we find ourselves in, you guessed it,
00:19:21.800
a manufactured crisis. So that was the New York Times attempt. New York Times tried to hit him.
00:19:25.400
But obviously there are other hack papers out there that are trying to take down this president.
00:19:31.060
So here's another route. This is the one taken by the Washington Post. This one, even funnier.
00:19:36.800
Washington Post publishes a piece over the weekend. Trump keeps claiming that the most dangerous
00:19:43.640
cities in America are all run by Democrats. They aren't. They aren't. Okay. No way. Well,
00:19:50.860
okay, let's go to the graph that is in the very same article. I'll set you up. The, the blue graphs,
00:20:00.000
the, the blue bars are cities run by Democrats. The gray bars are cities that have a nonpartisan
00:20:06.580
mayor, but really that means left wing. And then the red bars are the ones run by Republicans. Can you
00:20:12.880
see, can you see what's going on? Oh, so it looks as though we have one Republican in Jacksonville,
00:20:22.580
Florida, then three of the gray, which really means left leaning, but technically nonpartisan.
00:20:31.340
And then all blue, all blue, every other one, every other major city blue.
00:20:36.660
And the Washington Post thinks that this proves their point. Maybe what they think is you're just
00:20:42.980
not going to read into the article. Maybe what they think is you're going to see the headline.
00:20:49.780
You're going to see, you're going to scroll past it on Facebook or Twitter or something like that
00:20:54.220
and not look. It's, it's pretty funny that they would include the graph in their article.
00:20:59.860
This is the kind of thing we're going to see for the next four months. And if Trump wins,
00:21:06.180
then obviously for the next four years, this is a dishonest headline. This headline is a lie.
00:21:14.940
They say it's not a lie because there's one city not run by Democrats, but obviously the point he's
00:21:20.600
making maybe changes, let's say virtually all cities, nearly all cities. The, the point he's making is
00:21:29.380
true. The point they're making here is a lie. Same thing happened with the New York times.
00:21:32.760
They lie to you. The media lie to your face. And yet now they want us to believe them
00:21:39.320
on locking down again for coronavirus or on some crime that president Trump committed or on why
00:21:47.540
we've got to tear down the statues. The, the media are complicity. I watched the movie Richard Jewell
00:21:53.820
over the weekend is this Clint Eastwood movie about this hero security guard who got
00:21:59.240
smeared as being a murderer. And it was so refreshing to watch the movie because in the
00:22:05.300
movie, the media are the enemy and they are, they are, they're, they're the ones doing this
00:22:10.680
kind of thing. The mainstream media, the guys who pretend to be honest and objective when really
00:22:15.500
they are not. So president Trump's got his work cut out for him. And I got to say, sometimes
00:22:21.820
he doesn't help himself. He doesn't, you know, I love the guy, but sometimes he makes it hard
00:22:27.560
on himself. He tweeted out a clip over the weekend. It was a group of seniors from the
00:22:32.680
villages in Florida who were protesting against each other. One of, one of the guys hated Trump.
00:22:37.420
The other one was driving by in a golf cart with the Trump flag. Trump tweets out, thank
00:22:40.860
you to the great people of the villages, the radical left do nothing. Democrats will fall
00:22:44.040
in the fall. Corrupt Joe is shot. See you soon. And it included a video, which I guess he
00:22:49.540
didn't listen to because in the video, the people with the Trump flags were either jokingly
00:22:53.700
or earnestly yelling the words white power. Okay. What is going on in this video? Do I
00:23:13.700
think that these seniors who are driving by in the golf carts and kind of laughing saying
00:23:18.960
white power, do I think that they are members of the Ku Klux Klan? I don't know for sure,
00:23:22.720
but I don't think so. I think what actually happened in this video is they're going by
00:23:26.840
and they've got a little Trump flag. And then this kind of maniac, the left winger guy says
00:23:32.760
white power and they're joking. They're mocking him. The first person to say white power in
00:23:38.240
the clip is not the Trump supporter. It's the Democrat. And I think they're mocking him.
00:23:42.660
He goes, yeah, you're, you guys are for white power. And they're like, oh yeah, we're for
00:23:45.500
white power. Oh, we love white power. You got us. Where's your Klan hood, honey? That's
00:23:50.140
what I think this is really about. Regardless. Probably doesn't help President Trump to tweet
00:23:56.480
this. He tweets it out and then takes the tweet down. When I get, this is easy to, I've done
00:24:01.140
this myself. You retweet something. And when you look on Twitter, the sound is not there.
00:24:06.240
So all you see is people waving the Trump flag and they're really excited. You don't hear
00:24:09.740
it necessarily. And, and I, I don't think that Trump heard it. Some of my democratic friends,
00:24:15.040
they were, they were saying Trump knew exactly what he was doing. It's a dog whistle.
00:24:18.160
He's a white supremacist. He's a Klansman. If that were true, why would he delete the
00:24:23.560
tweet? I don't, I don't, it doesn't, it doesn't help him. So I think he just didn't, I take
00:24:28.440
him at his word. I think it doesn't help him, but this is one bit of evidence that he, he
00:24:33.920
should at least listen to it before he retweets it. You know, I'm not of the opinion that he
00:24:37.780
should run his tweets through a committee of professional campaign consultants who couldn't
00:24:43.060
win, win their way out of a plastic bag, you know, who just don't know anything about
00:24:47.440
actually winning elections. I'm not one of these people who say, take the phone away.
00:24:50.980
I don't, I don't think, I like that he has the phone. I think the phone is largely why
00:24:54.220
he won the first time, but he might take an extra second or two before retweeting that
00:24:58.700
because that, that's an unforced error and one does not need to do it. No serious person
00:25:04.580
thinks that Donald Trump is a white supremacist. No one ever said this guy's been in public life
00:25:08.380
for 40 years. And now only when he runs for president as a Republican, does anyone suggest
00:25:12.620
he's a racist? They do it to all of us. So I don't take that seriously. Ironically,
00:25:17.620
president Trump is one of the last politicians in America who is actually fighting for a colorblind
00:25:23.640
society. You hear this all the time when, when Trump was inaugurated, he said, we all bleed the
00:25:28.500
same blood of patriots. Doesn't matter if you're black or white or whatever, right? He, he is espousing
00:25:34.660
this colorblind point of view. The left is not. Actually, the California state legislature just took
00:25:41.460
language out of its constitution to say that we won't discriminate against people on race. They
00:25:47.400
are now openly advocating discriminating against people on the basis of their race. Of course,
00:25:52.280
the way the Democrats are doing it is they want to discriminate against whites and Asians in favor
00:25:55.800
of Hispanics and black people. But the principle is there. You've got Trump saying, don't discriminate
00:26:01.500
against people. You've got the left saying, and Democrats explicitly saying we need to discriminate
00:26:06.380
against people. We'll get to that in one second. First though, I've got to thank you. You guys,
00:26:11.320
have really turned up my Michael Knowles show YouTube channel, which is terrific. I appreciate
00:26:18.340

00:26:44.340
gets it. And I got to sit down with him for, I don't know, 45 minutes or an hour or something
00:26:48.320
last Friday. So that was a great time. Go check that out. We got other clips too. I was on Sean

00:27:20.220
We'll be right back with a lot more. They smear Trump baselessly as a racist when Trump is the
00:27:37.500
last politician in America pushing for anti-racism just about. Okay. The left is not pushing for
00:27:44.200
anti-racism or colorblindness. They're, they're pushing for a mirror form of racial bigotry. Here
00:27:49.040
is, here is until last Thursday, what was in the California state constitution.
00:27:56.580
Very simple phrase. The state shall not discriminate against or grant preferential treatment to any
00:28:03.200
individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation
00:28:10.480
of public employment, public housing, or public contracting. Simple enough. You know how the left
00:28:17.840
always complains about institutional racism? Well, there you have it. No institutional racism.
00:28:23.380
You are not allowed to discriminate against or grant preferential treatment to any individual or group
00:28:28.140
on the basis of race until the Democrats voted to take that out on Thursday. They voted to get rid of
00:28:34.280
that line. They voted on Thursday to create institutional racism. Now they won't admit that that's racism
00:28:43.120
because their view of racism is that racism only goes in one direction. Of course, that isn't true,
00:28:48.500
but that's what they want. They don't want anti-racism. They don't want colorblindness.
00:28:53.260
They want laws and regulations that disadvantage white people and Asian people and give advantage to
00:29:01.300
other racial groups. This is why the, the, uh, group of Asian students sued Harvard just a little while
00:29:07.220
ago. When we talk about institutional racism or bigotry, we're talking about affirmative action,
00:29:14.220
right? Affirmative action is, is a bit of racial discrimination, but it's racial discrimination in
00:29:24.540
a way that the left would prefer. And so now that is what they're pushing for. Let me, let me show you
00:29:30.020
what I mean in a more practical term, not just in the laws. Over the weekend, we had pride. You know what
00:29:36.860
pride is. Well, pride is the deadliest of the seven deadly sins and, uh, pride is the queen of all
00:29:42.920
vices. And pride is also now our national secular liberal liturgical celebration that happens every
00:29:49.460
June. Coronavirus is super duper deadly. It's so super duper deadly that you can't go to work and you
00:29:57.680
can't go to church and you can't go to a Trump rally, but it's not so super duper deadly that you
00:30:03.260
can't show up by the thousands to celebrate pride because that's what happened. You had, uh, this was
00:30:11.840
from, uh, Bloomberg news live aerial footage shows massive crowds rallying to celebrate pride in
00:30:19.040
Chicago. Oh, that's great. Isn't it? Thousands and thousands of people out there celebrating pride
00:30:23.920
amid the allegedly deadly pandemic that we've got to shut down our whole country for we're shutting down
00:30:28.540
again. They're shutting down bars and restaurants all over the country. Now, Texas just shut down again
00:30:32.820
in LA bars, just shut down again because coronavirus is so super duper serious. Unless you are rioting,
00:30:39.140
unless you are looting, unless you're pulling down statues of George Washington, and unless you're
00:30:43.360
celebrating imaginative sexual preferences, then you're allowed to go out. This is discrimination.
00:30:52.260
The, the discrimination is if you are a leftist, if you're, if you're doing something that the left
00:30:57.880
likes, you're allowed to do it. And if you're doing something that the left doesn't like, you're not
00:31:01.340
permitted to do it and you're called a grandma killer and you're, you're blamed for a pandemic.
00:31:08.920
Same thing happened in New York. New York's official pride march was relatively quiet this year,
00:31:13.020
they said, because of the pandemic. But there was another one, the queer liberation march that drew a
00:31:17.400
large crowd demanding an end to racism and police brutality. But it was like, it was that, it was just
00:31:22.240
the typical leftist police brutality canard, but it was about like gay stuff too, or something,
00:31:29.980
or transgender stuff, or it was all about the sexual revolution stuff. It was presented
00:31:34.720
intersectionally, right? So a lot of it, you can hear the chants, the chants, they were talking
00:31:39.660
about how black trans lives matter. Shut it down. Shut it down. Black trans lives matter.
00:31:58.120
Mostly white people protesting in favor of all of this because when, actually when black voters are
00:32:09.540
polled on LGBT issues, turns out they're not particularly progressive, but white, white liberals
00:32:14.560
are. So this was presented intersectionally because some black transgender people, men who identify as
00:32:20.880
women are killed every year. What they, what they don't mention is that they are killed exclusively,
00:32:25.380
almost, or actually exclusively by black men. But that doesn't matter to the intersectional mob here
00:32:32.020
because the whole point is just voicing this kind of resentment at the system as it stands so that you
00:32:40.460
can tear it down. And coronavirus, it doesn't matter about coronavirus at that point. The coronavirus hype,
00:32:46.580
not the coronavirus itself necessarily, but the coronavirus hype in the media, the selective hype.
00:32:51.380
One week, it's going to kill you all. One week, it doesn't matter at all. That is all political. That is all about
00:32:56.900
November. If Joe Biden wins on November 3rd, expect fears of coronavirus to dissipate on November 4th.
00:33:07.360
We've got to talk about this as two separate issues. There is the virus, such as it is, and then there is the hype
00:33:14.920
about the virus. And unfortunately, I can't tell you very much about the virus because the media have
00:33:20.920
been so contradictory and so dishonest in their coverage of the virus that we just don't know what
00:33:25.540
to trust. They've been wrong about it from the very beginning. And then they told us, they actually
00:33:30.520
told us, public health officials and the mainstream media mouthpieces said that it's, it's bad to go out
00:33:36.740
and protest lockdowns, but it's good to go out and protest Republicans and the police departments.
00:33:42.000
They said it will help stop the spread of COVID if you go out by the thousands and tear down statues
00:33:48.700
and protest for, for BLM, which is a Marxist organization. We'll get to that in a second too,
00:33:53.480
but it will, it will exacerbate coronavirus if you go out and protest the lockdowns. So we can't trust
00:34:01.160
them. It has become strictly political. We know that coronavirus is being used as a political tool by the
00:34:06.720
left. But this is not hypocritical. This is just plain discrimination. And I think conservatives at
00:34:14.280
a certain point, we need to stop pretending that it's hypocrisy. The left is not being hypocritical.
00:34:19.540
They're, they're actually being honest. They're telling us we want one set of standards for you
00:34:23.700
guys and another set of standards for us. That's not hypocrisy. That's like, that's just,
00:34:30.700
it's a, I guess you could call it hierarchical. You could call it unfair. You could call, but it,
00:34:38.760
they are being, I call it unjust, but they are being honest about it. The premise of affirmative
00:34:45.080
action is this. If you're a member of a privileged group, if you're a racial minority, or you have
00:34:49.780
imaginative sexual preferences, or you're a woman, then you will receive preferential treatment.
00:34:54.840
If you are a member of a non-privileged group, namely white, straight, male, guy who thinks you're
00:35:03.260
a guy, or Asians, for some reason they lump the Asians in here, these poor Asians, you know, many,
00:35:08.720
many of whom are immigrants, many of whom don't have very much money. They still get lumped in
00:35:12.760
as a non-privileged group. Then you will be officially disadvantaged. And I, I get it. I mean,
00:35:21.080
I understand the arguments they're making for it. They're saying to overcome historical wrongs,
00:35:25.300
we need to treat some people better than we treat other people on the basis of race or sex or
00:35:29.420
whatever. I, I get that they're making that argument. Those are moral concepts. Those are
00:35:35.620
even religious concepts. Okay. Pride itself is an ethical and religious term. Pride goeth before
00:35:43.780
destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall. I always thought the LGBT group, they made a little
00:35:48.680
bit of a PR error, embracing pride, the deadliest of the seven deadly sins. Not, you know, it's,
00:35:54.140
and I guess this, this year we're doing wrath too. Wrath gets lumped in there as well when we're
00:35:57.940
knocking down the statues. But this is why separation of church and state, as we refer to it,
00:36:03.960
has never been true anywhere. The state always has some relation to religion because the state
00:36:09.700
deals with religious and ethical and moral questions. You sometimes hear people say,
00:36:13.860
we can't legislate morality. You can only legislate morality. All laws derive from moral
00:36:23.360
arguments. All civil laws we have derived from the natural law or some relationship and understanding
00:36:31.400
of the natural law. Everything, not just abortion and the definition of marriage and capital punishment,
00:36:37.860
all the way down to taxes and parking tickets. Those come from moral arguments. And so the question is,
00:36:45.440
what kind of morality is your state following? What kind of religion is your state following?
00:36:52.120
I think a lot of, especially Christian conservatives, have kind of tried to back away. They use these
00:36:56.860
lines. They say, politics is downstream of culture. They use that as an excuse not to actually worry about
00:37:01.780
politics. Or they say, you can't legislate morality. Well, of course you can only legislate morality.
00:37:06.600
And what that has been is a surrender of our politics to a new religion, a new woke religion.
00:37:14.040
Maybe we got to say its name, that religion, which we will in just one moment. Consider the religious
00:37:21.200
rituals that have come about just in the last few weeks, the main one being the mask. You know,
00:37:29.040
the mask, mask, which we were initially told don't wear the mask. The masks are bad. The masks aren't
00:37:33.580
going to stop coronavirus. We have very little evidence that the masks do anything at all.
00:37:38.220
Then we were told the masks will protect us. Then we were told the masks won't protect us,
00:37:41.940
but it'll protect other people. Now we're being told something in the middle. And now increasingly,
00:37:46.420
we're seeing people not wearing the masks properly, but just having to have them around as a,
00:37:53.180
as a virtue signal, as a sign that we're on the right side of the ideology. Well, Joe Biden has just
00:37:59.400
said if he's elected president, he will completely unconstitutionally mandate masks at the federal
00:38:05.860
level. If you became president tomorrow, what would you do differently regarding the pandemic
00:38:11.900
and getting these surging cases now under control? I would go back to making sure that everybody had
00:38:17.680
masks, that you had PPE lined up. We have been making sure we stockpile all the things that we need
00:38:23.320
that we don't have now. The one thing we do know, these masks make a gigantic difference.
00:38:28.000
I would insist that everybody on public be wearing that mask. Anyone to reopen would have to make sure
00:38:33.820
that they walked into a business that had masks. Couldn't you use your federal leverage to mandate
00:38:38.980
that though? Yes. And you, would you? Yes, I would. From an executive standpoint, yes, I would.
00:38:43.860
So you would in effect mandate the wearing of masks? I would do everything possible to make it,
00:38:49.060
make it required that people had to wear masks in public. I would do everything in my possible.
00:38:54.980
And I would, so he realizes at the end, because Biden's been around a long time, he realizes,
00:38:59.200
wait a second, I just said that I would mandate masks from the federal level, but I probably don't
00:39:02.900
have the constitutional power to do that. So I would do everything in my possible. One thing to note here
00:39:07.160
is the man still can't form an English sentence. Even though they're, they're limiting on the campaign,
00:39:12.300
his public appearances, every time he appears, it's clear this guy is not there. He is not with it.
00:39:17.540
And, and he falls apart even at the end here. But at the broader level, what he's saying isn't true.
00:39:23.180
We don't know that the masks are super duper effective. In fact, all the same people were
00:39:27.260
telling us they weren't effective just a few weeks ago. We don't, we know very little about the
00:39:31.480
masks. And we know that Joe Biden himself, when he was giving a speech just a couple of weeks ago,
00:39:34.820
he had the mask dangling from his ear. It wasn't on his mouth. So it wasn't preventing the spread of
00:39:40.520
coronavirus, but it wasn't off either because if it's off, then he's not on board. He's, he wore it
00:39:45.800
dangling down from his ear just to show people that he's on the right team. People do this now
00:39:49.960
when you're on an airplane. I've taken a couple of airplanes in the last few weeks, or when you're
00:39:55.080
in a restaurant or something, you'll see people wearing the mask below the nose. This is what I
00:39:59.760
do as well. And you wear it below the nose because this is extremely stupid. This, this constantly
00:40:08.220
changing standard where you have to wear the mask. You don't have to wear the mask. Coronavirus is super
00:40:11.940
deadly, but go out and tear down statues and riot for BLM and, and, and show up at pride, right? So
00:40:17.480
it's not, not really based on science, but you have to have it somewhere around. I was on an airplane
00:40:22.680
and I had the mask. I'm not going to wear a mask on my face for five hours. I'm just not going to do
00:40:26.560
it. And so I had the mask under my, on my chin, right? So my mouth and my nose completely exposed.
00:40:31.840
And then eventually I said, this is stupid. So I just take the mask off and the stewardess walks up to me,
00:40:35.460
says, you have to put your mask on. So I put it back on my chin, obviously not doing anything to stop any of
00:40:40.540
my air coming out. She said, okay, that's good. It's like wearing a mantilla in a church or a hijab
00:40:46.000
or wearing a yarmulke. If you're Jewish, it's a, it is a quasi religious symbol saying that we are all
00:40:52.380
on board in the same metaphysics and the, the invisible enemy that we're all fighting. So
00:40:57.340
what's the science say? Well, the science says that the left-wing policies that they're all saying
00:41:03.160
are based on science actually have killed way more people than anything else. Andrew Cuomo,
00:41:09.060
governor of New York is being given credit for being the leader on coronavirus, right? He's
00:41:14.580
actually been the worst governor in the country on coronavirus and his state as a result got hit
00:41:19.540
the worst. He didn't have enough ventilators. Then he overestimated how many ventilators he would
00:41:25.000
need. He didn't need as many hospital beds as he thought he would need. And he sent sick people
00:41:29.540
into nursing homes and the sick people going into nursing homes with the most vulnerable population
00:41:33.560
killed more people than anything else in this virus. This is according to the New York
00:41:38.480
Times, believe it or not. 43% of coronavirus linked deaths, according to the New York Times
00:41:44.400
accounted in nursing homes. They took place in nursing homes.
00:41:52.280
The Times compiled a whole database and they report that about 12,000 nursing homes and care
00:41:57.240
centers have been linked to 282,000 cases of coronavirus. Of those cases, 54,000 people have died.
00:42:04.820
It shows you something also about who's being affected by coronavirus. It's disproportionately
00:42:09.660
very old, frail, and sick people. But there are still policies you can put into place that will
00:42:15.580
protect them. The left hasn't done that. The left sent all the sick people into the nursing homes
00:42:20.220
and that accounted for a full 43% of the coronavirus deaths. Don't let them tell you that they're the
00:42:26.640
great defenders of science here and you're a science denier because you don't want to wear the stupid
00:42:29.820
mask. Tell them to fix their nursing home policies. Then you'll talk about wearing
00:42:34.700
this virtue signal mask. Speaking of virtue signaling, some bands now are changing their
00:42:40.520
names. It's not just the statues coming down. It's the bands. Dixie Chicks. Remember Dixie Chicks?
00:42:46.840
They were somewhat relevant 20 years ago. I think that was the last time too that they were somewhat
00:42:50.860
relevant. Well, they're back kind of. They're not back with any music in particular that anyone's
00:42:55.900
talking about. They're back changing their names. The Dixie Chicks have taken out Dixie because we've
00:42:59.980
got to cancel the South. So the Dixie Chicks are just the chicks, which to me is still pretty
00:43:05.020
offensive. The chicks? They're the only chicks? They're erasing the lived experience of all the
00:43:10.560
other chicks? They've just got to be chicks. But if they're chicks, don't you think that's a little
00:43:15.260
sexist? Are they going to be broads? Dames? I don't think so. You think chicks is just referring to
00:43:21.500
birds? What about all the other birds? Huh? What about the eagles? Speaking of which,
00:43:26.140
probably got to cancel the eagles. So the Dixie Chicks, they're out. And Lady Antebellum,
00:43:30.480
a musician that I've never heard of, has changed her name to Lady A, which is taken by somebody
00:43:35.860
else. She didn't look into that. So that's a big issue. Because you can't be Antebellum. That's
00:43:39.880
pre-war. Maybe she could be Lady Reconstruction, which is what happened after the Civil War.
00:43:45.340
But if she's Lady Reconstruction, let's not forget that Reconstruction is what led to many of the
00:43:49.000
horrors that followed from the Civil War. Jim Crow, segregation, lynchings, all that kind of,
00:43:56.520
she can't be that. Can she be a lady? Well, what's a lady? Who the heck are you to define to me what a
00:44:03.640
lady is? A man can be a lady, thank you very much. There's no end to that. When you start tearing down
00:44:08.300
the statues, you are left with nothing. When you start tearing down the names, because one word is
00:44:14.820
offensive, ultimately, there's nothing you can say. There's no limiting principle to what the left is
00:44:19.620
saying. In my hometown, in the town of my birth, Mount Kisco, New York, there's a statue of Christopher
00:44:23.900
Columbus. They want to tear it down. There's a petition going around. I think 750 or 800 people
00:44:32.000
have signed it. They want to get it to 1,000. It's a relatively small town. And they say in it,
00:44:35.820
we are a diverse town. Mount Kisco is a diverse town populated with about 10,700 people. It is
00:44:43.720
appalling to see a Christopher Columbus statue in this town. Then they list all of the crimes that
00:44:47.360
he didn't commit, but they think he committed. Christopher Columbus is a tyrant, which is why
00:44:52.060
we need to take down his statue. In no way does Mount Kisco represent the atrocities committed by
00:44:58.060
Columbus. So why should there be a statue in our town in his honor? What they mean by diverse is that
00:45:02.840
increasingly over the last 20 years or so, particularly because of immigration policies,
00:45:07.340
the town has become largely Hispanic. There are a lot more Hispanic people in town.
00:45:12.940
I strongly suspect, by the way, that this petition is being pushed by white liberals because I don't
00:45:17.780
think recent immigrants have very much time to care about these frivolous types of things,
00:45:22.920
these political agitations. But they're doing it, at least, in the name of diversity, referring to
00:45:28.180
the Hispanic population, apparently unaware that Hispanic people would not exist
00:45:32.380
without Christopher Columbus. Christopher Columbus invented Latinos.
00:45:38.360
So I've mentioned this in speeches before. Some people tell me it's offensive. How is it offensive?
00:45:42.240
It's simply true. What is Hispanic or Latino? It's the combination of Spaniards with indigenous
00:45:50.120
populations, specifically in Latin America. That would not exist if the Spaniards hadn't come
00:45:56.940
to America. And who brought the Spaniards to America was Christopher Columbus. So if you like
00:46:00.920
diversity and Hispanics and Latinos, you have a Latino friend, you ought to support Columbus because
00:46:06.920
he's the reason that Latinos exist. But they don't want diversity. That's not what this is. This is not
00:46:12.720
what this is about. People have to cut it out with the, well, I support BLM because I think black lives
00:46:17.380
matter. BLM has nothing to do with black lives matter. Well, I support these tearing down the statues
00:46:22.760
because I support diversity. It has nothing to do with diversity. This is about a specific
00:46:27.360
plan, a specific ideological strategy and political strategy to tear down our nation and our culture
00:46:37.080
and our civilization. We talked last week about how black lives matter is a Marxist organization.
00:46:42.260
One of the founders, Patrice Colors admitted on film, she said, we are trained Marxists.
00:46:48.900
We who founded BLM. Well, another one of the founders, because in that case, she was referring
00:46:54.800
to, Patrice was referring to herself and Alicia Garza, another, another founder as trained Marxists.
00:46:59.720
But the third founder, whose name is Opal Tometi, recently surfaced in a photo with the communist
00:47:06.980
dictator of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro. She's smiling. She's got her hand up. She's so excited.
00:47:12.260
To be with Maduro. Black lives matter and the associated movements, but black lives matter
00:47:19.880
in particular is a Marxist organization. They say they're a Marxist organization. Their founders
00:47:24.340
are admitted, avowed Marxists and trained Marxists. Their website talks in Marxist language about doing
00:47:30.480
Marxist things. If you support black lives matter, you are supporting Marxism. How did, how did Marxism
00:47:37.280
get a hold in 2020 of all places, 30 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall? That might have something
00:47:42.820
to do with liberalism and the weaknesses of liberalism. We can talk about that as well.
00:47:47.900
But there, there is a plan here. There is a strategy. There is an ideology. We should say its name. We
00:47:57.900
should not be cowed into silence. We should not be cowed into apathy. We should not be, we should not
00:48:03.240
make the opposite, you know, the, the equal and opposite reaction of, of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer
00:48:10.100
at the top of the show who pretend that they're, they care about saying somebody's name, George Floyd.
00:48:15.640
They don't really. They're pushing their ideological agenda. We should be able to call out that specific
00:48:20.240
ideological agenda. While a specific ideology is tearing down statues in this country, tearing down
00:48:26.160
our whole culture. If we can't even name that ideology, we can't even name those activists.
00:48:33.560
Then we're certainly not going to be able to stop it. And then we'll all be sitting around the rubble
00:48:37.560
saying, oh gosh, didn't we used to have a great country? Didn't we used to have a great culture?
00:48:41.960
Oh, well, too bad. 2020 can't get worse. 2020 could get a lot better, but we're going to have
00:48:46.080
to step up and take action. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show. I'll see you tomorrow.

The right is part of the problem, and the right needs to find the guts to stand up to a rampaging
