It has been 1,352 days since the 2016 presidential election.
00:00:09.220
And Hillary Clinton is still complaining about how she did not win.
00:00:13.020
And more than that, she's still peddling a conspiracy theory that she was cheated
00:00:17.820
out of the White House by Trump, by Roger Stone, by, worst of all, Russia, by collusion.
00:00:27.640
Well, I think it's pretty clear that Stone threatened him.
00:00:32.260
He probably threatened him privately, but he also threatened him publicly about what
00:00:42.280
It's an ongoing cover-up that Trump and Stone are two of the major participants in to try
00:00:49.740
to prevent us from knowing all of the details about what they actually did in 2016.
00:00:57.740
I mean, asking Russia in public to interfere in an American election, but some of it was
00:01:04.980
clandestine, behind the scenes, sending messages, the kinds of things that we know about, and
00:01:11.440
So what he did was to use the awesome power of commutation as part of the pardon power of
00:01:18.780
the president to basically shut up Roger Stone so that Roger Stone would not spill any more
00:01:27.340
beans about what actually happened and how much Donald Trump actually knew.
00:01:31.400
Roger Stone and Donald Trump must get so much pleasure out of watching this woman dissemble
00:01:37.300
like this because it was Stone, it was Trump, it was Putin, it was Boris, it was Natasha,
00:01:43.880
And so she's now attacking Trump for using the pardon power.
00:01:47.280
Do you know how many times Trump has used the pardon power or the power of commutation?
00:01:51.540
Do you know how many times Hillary Clinton's husband used the pardon power and power of commutation?
00:01:58.220
One of the most famous abusers of the pardon power ever for political reasons.
00:02:02.840
Hillary says there was a conspiracy to hurt her, keep her out of the White House.
00:02:07.660
In fact, we know there was a proven conspiracy to try to keep Trump out of the White House
00:02:19.160
Lots of double standards going on here between how the mainstream apparatus,
00:02:25.380
the establishment, big tech, news media are treating the leftist conspiracy theories
00:02:59.320
Q is the most dastardly, awful, terrible conspiracy theory in the whole wide world.
00:03:05.040
It's so bad that Twitter is going to start banning accounts that talk about it.
00:03:11.220
Talk about that thing that I don't really know very much about.
00:03:20.020
You're in danger because you might read words that you don't like.
00:03:23.800
We've been clear that we will take a strong enforcement action on behavior
00:03:27.220
that has the potential to lead to offline harm.
00:03:30.780
In line with this approach, this week we are taking further action on so-called QAnon activity
00:03:41.760
We get some questions about it sometimes, but I haven't looked into it particularly deeply.
00:03:47.540
But from what I gather from the Twitter Safety tweet, this is a very dangerous conspiracy theory.
00:03:54.740
Very dangerous conspiracy theory that is percolating on the right.
00:03:58.660
And so they've got to shut down any account that's in any way associated with it.
00:04:02.460
But I notice Twitter Safety doesn't care that much about dangerous conspiracy theories
00:04:08.300
percolating on the left that lead to offline harm.
00:04:11.740
For instance, there is a conspiracy theory out there held on the left by, you know,
00:04:17.360
kind of kooky people on the left that black people are the real Jews and the Jews are the fake Jews.
00:04:23.560
You would have seen this conspiracy theory just in the last week because Nick Cannon
00:04:30.260
Louis Farrakhan, who is a hate monger, who's still on Twitter, by the way.
00:04:38.320
Sometimes you see people on street corners talking about it, but you've seen a lot of people
00:04:42.420
And then actually when Nick Cannon was forced to make an apology, a lot of the responses to
00:04:49.160
So that's also a conspiracy theory, by the way, that has led to violence in the real world.
00:05:01.580
Racist cops are systematically slaughtering black men across the country.
00:05:09.580
We went through the numbers of unarmed black men last year who were killed by police officers.
00:05:15.000
And by the way, don't forget unarmed does not mean not dangerous, does not mean that the
00:05:28.700
And now cops are being killed because of that conspiracy theory all around the country.
00:05:32.900
Twitter encouraging that, pushing it on, using the hashtag Black Lives Matter, which is used
00:05:37.200
to organize those kind of violent riots by self-avowed trained Marxists.
00:05:42.760
And then the third conspiracy theory that was allowed to percolate and still is, that Donald
00:05:47.380
Trump, the man we've known for 40 years, is actually a Manchurian candidate, a stooge for
00:05:52.520
That's the most ridiculous conspiracy theory of all.
00:05:55.420
That one was pushed by the DOJ, the FBI, big tech, the mainstream media, every mainstream
00:06:02.100
It's still being pushed, even though we now know for a fact it didn't happen because we
00:06:06.480
had a two and a half year, multi-multi-million dollar investigation from Bob Mueller.
00:06:15.880
I think those conspiracy theories, in particular the Russia one, have had a far greater outsized
00:06:21.120
impact on the real world than some tweets about Q.
00:06:28.220
And yet, Twitter, everybody's only targeting those right-wing conspiracies.
00:06:34.040
This idea of the conspiracy theory, they always just throw it on the right.
00:06:43.780
They think men can be women and they think babies aren't babies.
00:06:48.080
And even that category, that idea of going after the conspiracy theory, is a way to push
00:06:55.980
cockamamie left-wing theories and suppress right-wing theories.
00:07:01.380
We will turn to some strange shenanigans, speaking of conspiracies, that do have a lot
00:07:07.660
Over in Nashville, you've heard me talk yesterday.
00:07:10.320
I mentioned that a friend of mine in Los Angeles went in to take a coronavirus test.
00:07:15.060
The line was like two hours long, so she signed in, but she didn't take the test.
00:07:18.080
She leaves, and then she gets a call a day or two later that said that she tested positive.
00:07:24.780
But she obviously didn't test positive because she didn't take the test.
00:07:27.960
Now, we've gotten people writing into this show who have said that multiple times.
00:07:31.540
I've gotten probably three letters about that already.
00:07:34.080
We know that Texas had to adjust some numbers, about 3,000 numbers or more, of their positive
00:07:41.560
coronavirus cases because the reporting was bad, because they were not actually confirmed
00:07:45.960
Now, there's a guy in Nashville who went on the local news channel to talk about the same
00:07:52.660
I'm 100% sure that's what she said, because she's looking right at it, and she's specifically
00:07:58.540
told me, I'm right here in the system, that you're showing positive.
00:08:02.240
She says, well, I'm still seeing that you're positive.
00:08:05.380
It's just a courtesy call to check your symptoms.
00:08:15.620
He said, I don't know what's going on, but it's wrong.
00:08:18.140
It's obviously wrong because the guy doesn't have coronavirus.
00:08:22.480
When we think about this, does it have to be some elaborate conspiracy theory with the
00:08:32.600
I mean, obviously, the reason that conspiracy theories take hold is that sometimes there
00:08:37.440
You know, we've been talking about Jeffrey Epstein recently, talk about a conspiracy theorem.
00:08:43.420
There actually was an international elite pedophile ring that had its own private island, and
00:08:52.320
Then Jeffrey Epstein, you know, didn't make it out of jail, and so they've got the other
00:09:00.440
It implicated Bill Clinton, who flew on the Lolita Express multiple times.
00:09:05.180
It implicated Prince Andrew, implicated lots of people.
00:09:07.900
People are trying to say it implicated Trump because Trump knew Epstein and Palm Beach,
00:09:12.260
and Palm Beach was a member, or Epstein was a member of Mar-a-Lago.
00:09:15.120
So I guess, I mean, even that doesn't look great, but he didn't fly on the jet quite like
00:09:21.200
Anyway, it involved a lot of upper-level people, and that's how conspiracy theories take
00:09:33.000
The conspiracy theory has this whole elaborate system.
00:09:35.780
What the gaslighting is, is when the left just lies to you, when they tell you not to
00:09:40.480
And that is what they're doing right now, particularly on coronavirus.
00:09:43.700
Andrew Cuomo, who handled this coronavirus worse than any governor in the country, and
00:09:48.580
whose policies are responsible for thousands of senior citizen deaths.
00:09:52.900
Andrew Cuomo had the audacity to sit in front of a news conference and say that now, New
00:09:58.380
York, not only is handling this virus better than anybody, but that people are fleeing other
00:10:05.720
The problem is, you have it increasing now in 40 states across the nation.
00:10:14.080
How do you keep the virus in 40 states coming from New York?
00:10:18.900
We now have people coming to New York fleeing the other states because it's the quote-unquote
00:10:28.480
So we have people coming here just for the purpose of fleeing the virus in their state.
00:10:34.300
I think I have a little insight into what Andy Cuomo is doing here because I happen to be
00:10:39.680
a New Yorker of Italian extraction, just like Andy Cuomo.
00:10:44.600
There's a little bit of an exaggeration factor that goes on here when New Yorkers are BSing.
00:10:49.460
So what he's trying to say is, I'm not responsible for thousands of people's deaths.
00:10:53.140
I know that New York handled this worse than anybody, but please don't blame me.
00:11:02.660
Actually, actually, you want to know what I hear from people?
00:11:04.720
People tell me all the time, they say they're coming to New York.
00:11:06.900
Oh yeah, they want to leave all their safe states and come where the virus is because
00:11:11.360
Oh yeah, it's like the whole thing of like, this is the best pizza ever in the history
00:11:16.080
You think that there has ever been a pizza better than the pizza at my pizza shop?
00:11:28.880
Trump does it a little bit himself, but he's not doing it on important matters.
00:11:32.300
Trump will do that kind of thing when he's talking about crowd sizes, things that are
00:11:39.960
Andy Cuomo is doing that when we're talking about the actual epidemic.
00:11:44.800
And it obviously erodes trust in institutions and it erodes trust in politicians.
00:11:50.320
And it's the reason that a lot of cockamamie theories take hold.
00:11:54.080
We will get to some more deception and gaslighting in New York.
00:11:59.280
But first, I've got to thank our friends over at Rock Auto.
00:12:02.440
You know, it can be very frustrating when you just need to get a simple thing fixed on your
00:12:07.940
car and it can take hours or days or lots of headaches or too much money.
00:12:13.320
RockAuto.com is a family business serving auto parts customers online for 20 years.
00:12:18.380
Go to RockAuto.com to shop for auto and body parts from hundreds of manufacturers.
00:12:26.700
Prices at RockAuto.com are always reliably low and they are the same for professionals
00:12:32.940
So sometimes you go into the brick and mortar store and then you need a part and they don't
00:12:36.000
have the part and they order it online, probably from RockAuto.com.
00:12:38.680
Then it comes in, they charge you twice as much.
00:12:41.500
For me, someone like me, I don't know very much about cars, but my cars do break sometimes.
00:12:45.920
Sometimes the RockAuto.com catalog is so easy to navigate that even I can do it.
00:12:58.600
See all the parts available for your car or truck.
00:13:01.160
Write Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S, in their How Did You Hear About Us box so that they know
00:13:11.660
This is a little bit of a silver lining of our statue-toppling culture right now.
00:13:19.600
Since the beginning of the statue-toppling, we've said, okay, if you're going to tear
00:13:22.440
down George Washington because he was a bad guy, you're going to tear down Thomas Jefferson
00:13:28.180
How come nobody's tearing down Margaret Sanger?
00:13:30.960
Margaret Sanger was the founder of Planned Parenthood, the eugenicist who said very terrible
00:13:36.640
things on issues of race, for one, but also just on issues of human development.
00:13:44.600
She talked about how we need to get rid of people who are mentally handicapped or people
00:13:49.520
who have disabilities because they're undesirable.
00:13:52.780
So Planned Parenthood has this problem because Margaret Sanger founded them.
00:13:59.300
They still live out her philosophy and her name is on a number of buildings.
00:14:03.740
So the New York Planned Parenthood has disavowed Margaret Sanger over genetics.
00:14:11.120
Ms. Sanger, a feminist icon and reproductive rights pioneer, supported a discredited belief
00:14:18.920
in improving the human race through selective breeding.
00:14:25.040
The problem is that Planned Parenthood may have torn down the statue, but they still support
00:14:38.440
Improving the race, the human race, through selective breeding.
00:14:43.400
Either improving the human race by liberating women from the shackles and bondage of motherhood.
00:14:50.060
That's one way that they think they're improving the human race.
00:14:52.840
And the other way they think they're improving the human race is by killing undesirable babies.
00:15:00.380
That's the same word that Margaret Sanger used, right?
00:15:02.300
Maybe these babies are undesirable because the mothers, one, because they might have some
00:15:07.400
birth defects, or because the mothers don't like the fathers, or just because they don't
00:15:17.760
That's the phrase that is, you know, absolutely unthinkable today, and that's why the New York
00:15:26.420
Selective breeding just means Planned Parenthood.
00:15:42.000
It's a kind of inhuman way to talk about parenthood, but that's the, it is exactly what it means.
00:15:49.720
They're not tearing down the statue because they want to change something.
00:15:52.640
The radicals on the streets of America are tearing down George Washington because they
00:15:57.680
want to fundamentally change America and get rid of George Washington's ideas.
00:16:01.860
And by taking down our admiration of George Washington, change the way that we think about
00:16:08.420
The people taking down Margaret Sanger's name at the Planned Parenthood in New York
00:16:21.560
You know, Margaret Sanger at least was honest about what she thought and what she wanted to do.
00:16:25.720
Here, Planned Parenthood has the same eugenics policy.
00:16:35.320
People, people are taught, especially, I went to school in New York, right?
00:16:40.820
Margaret Sanger has taught us this wonderful pioneer, feminist icon, all the same stuff
00:16:50.080
Though there will be a lot more radicalism taught in schools if Joe Biden gets elected president.
00:16:55.020
Because Joe Biden, this guy appears on camera, what, once every few days from the comfort
00:17:03.220
It could easily be, be massaged so he doesn't put his foot in his mouth.
00:17:09.000
Most recently by saying that he wants, as part of his campaign platform, he wants the
00:17:17.080
Look, one of the things I think is important, I wish, I wish we taught more in our schools
00:17:26.520
I wish we talked about all the great confessional faiths.
00:17:31.940
And what people don't realize, it's one of my avocation is theology, don't realize is
00:17:36.980
that we all come from the same root here in terms of our fundamental basic beliefs.
00:17:41.820
And I just want to thank you for giving me the opportunity, for being engaged, for committing
00:17:50.640
You're doing what's been, that's never been done before.
00:17:54.360
You're registering and turning out one million Muslim voters this November.
00:18:00.220
I was wondering, where did Joe Biden get this recent love of Islam from?
00:18:04.540
Where did, since when is Joe Biden trying to set up madrasas all over the country?
00:18:08.860
Oh, it's because he's pandering for votes, as he always is.
00:18:12.420
So he says, we want to turn out a million Muslim voters and you got to vote for me.
00:18:15.460
And I want the Islamic faith taught in schools.
00:18:22.680
It is unconstitutional to teach the Bible in schools, which means it's unconstitutional
00:18:30.480
Can't teach Christianity without reference to the Bible.
00:18:33.960
So as of the mid-20th century, when the Supreme Court decided to legislate from the bench and
00:18:40.380
say that it's unconstitutional to teach the Bible in schools, and yet it's now being encouraged
00:18:49.020
I remember even when I was in high school and middle school, long, long ago, not that
00:18:54.100
long ago, in New York, we were taught much more about Islam than we were about Christianity.
00:19:00.440
We were taught much more about Islamic history than we were about Christian history.
00:19:04.960
We were taught much more about the Middle East than we were taught about European history.
00:19:13.020
But the world history course, which focused heavily on Islam, was required for two years.
00:19:21.480
It's not going to be Joe Biden who, you know, Joe Biden's pandering for votes that is going
00:19:30.680
Some people have said, well, Michael, they're just teaching about the faith.
00:19:33.480
Sure, all right, but they're not teaching about the Christian faith because you can't
00:19:36.380
teach about a faith without some reference to its source texts, right?
00:19:41.040
So you can say, no Bible, but yeah, we got to read the Hadiths.
00:19:47.600
It's a double standard being leveled on how we teach faith and religion, how we respond to
00:19:54.940
our historical figures, how we build up statues and monuments, even on how we deal with conspiracy
00:20:08.160
And the effect on our schools isn't just on the curriculum.
00:20:12.300
Even a teacher who, all this teacher said was to observe that Donald Trump is our president.
00:20:23.940
First, though, I've got to thank our friends over at Ancestry.
00:20:26.480
I love learning about my family history and where my family came from.
00:20:32.820
As history is being erased all around us, it's very edifying to take a little bit of control
00:20:43.580
An Ancestry DNA test tells you where your ancestors are from and Ancestry's billions
00:20:48.260
of records and millions of family trees let you discover their personal stories.
00:20:54.140
You could maybe find a photo of your great-grandma as a little girl.
00:20:57.880
Whatever you find, it is sure to change the way you look at your family history
00:21:04.320
I've been using Ancestry since before the Daily Wire even existed.
00:21:10.920
I love doing it, especially for people who are a little more history-inclined.
00:21:14.860
You know, you just, even for people who aren't, by the way,
00:21:17.560
it will get you excited about history because it's about your own family history.
00:21:21.420
Right now, start exploring your family history.
00:21:23.820
Head over to my URL, Ancestry.com slash Knowles,
00:21:27.140
to get your Ancestry DNA kit and start your free trial.
00:21:34.020
A teacher has been fired at the Walled Lake School District, just 30 miles northwest of Detroit,
00:21:43.180
not for saying anything crazy and outrageous and offensive or conspiratorial,
00:21:50.340
not for even offering his political preference,
00:21:54.920
though, as you know, many teachers talk about their political preferences all the time.
00:21:58.280
He simply observed the fact that Donald Trump is the president.
00:22:13.800
If you now say Donald Trump is the president at this high school outside of Detroit,
00:22:27.240
Kind of shows us the lesson of how to deal with this.
00:22:29.980
This parent, who was quoted by the Washington Free Beacon, said,
00:22:34.500
Justin coached my son his entire high school career
00:22:37.500
and also was his AP history teacher and student leadership teacher for two years.
00:22:43.720
If there's one thing that I would commend Justin for is he always tried to stay apolitical.
00:22:52.220
and let the students make their own call based on their own life experiences.
00:23:01.280
That's what people on the right just cannot understand.
00:23:09.460
if you don't attack people for their political views,
00:23:14.200
If you don't voice your opinion on Trump around the water cooler,
00:23:23.940
Because that old idea of keep your mouth shut about politics
00:23:28.300
is not the way the left is operating right now.
00:23:33.100
the left is always making these professions of faith to leftism.
00:23:36.660
I think a lot of the time it's not even because they want to.
00:23:40.240
If you are not constantly professing your great adherence to leftism,
00:23:49.940
that's how you can always tell the Hollywood conservatives.
00:24:00.660
I could guarantee, I would put a lot of money down
00:24:14.880
The left is not going to allow us to remain in this defensive position.
00:24:18.180
They're not going to allow us to play by the old rules.
00:24:21.940
The left was happy to play by these rules of neutrality and free speech
00:24:30.460
That's why the left pushed the free speech movement in the 1960s and 70s.
00:24:38.460
