00:00:00.000
Before we begin today's show, we must start off with a very important public health announcement
00:00:05.560
by the very stable, totally healthy guy who wants to be your next president, Joe Biden.
00:00:12.660
COVID has taken this year, just since the outbreak, it's taken more than 100 years.
00:00:19.680
Look, here's the lives. It's just, I mean, think about it.
00:00:25.060
More lives this year than any other year for the past 100 years.
00:00:30.320
You just, you think about it. You think about more, more years and years and lives and years.
00:00:36.220
And come on, man. Come on, man. I don't know about the public health announcement. I think
00:00:40.520
someone has to look into Joe Biden's health. And I think also we need to look into the data,
00:00:44.280
new data on the coronavirus that continues to blow up the outrageous alarmism and hysteria
00:00:50.820
pushed by political exploiters to lock you up and try to steal an election.
00:00:56.140
We'll get into all of it. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:01:00.000
Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment from yesterday is from Michael. Great name.
00:01:12.260
Type Antifa.com into your browser. Just go ahead and do it. Type Antifa.com into your browser.
00:01:19.900
Comes up as Joe Biden's campaign website. That is really great. It's a great little trick
00:01:24.460
by whoever bought Antifa.com. And it gets to an important truth because as we talked about
00:01:29.480
yesterday, there is no meaningful difference between the Black Lives Matter organization
00:01:34.560
and Antifa and the Democratic Party. There is no meaningful difference between the rioters
00:01:39.520
who are burning down the country and the political elites who are ordering them to do so.
00:01:43.820
Now we've got to move from all these questions of race riots and madness into another public health
00:01:52.160
threat, the lockdowns and the coronavirus too, I guess, but more the lockdowns, which we will get
00:01:57.820
into. First though, got to thank our friends over at LifeLock. Unless you secure yourself on the
00:02:04.800
internet, you are totally wide open to bad actors trying to steal your stuff. I don't know how I can
00:02:10.860
make this clearer. And I feel like I got to make it clear because I used to not believe this until
00:02:16.860
people start trying to hack into your stuff. People start trying to steal your stuff, especially right
00:02:21.700
now with the increase in cyber learning. Very important to keep your kids' personal information
00:02:25.740
safe. Make sure they're not sharing any sensitive personal information online, including anything that
00:02:31.100
can help a cyber criminal steal their identity. Very, very important. And now everyone is online all the
00:02:38.620
time, whether it's work from home, whether it's distance learning. LifeLock detects a wide range of
00:02:43.220
identity threats, like your social security number for sale on the dark web. If they detect your information
00:02:47.940
has potentially been compromised, they will send you an alert. No one can prevent all identity theft or monitor
00:02:54.200
all transactions at all businesses, but you can find out if your information is on the dark web. Go get your free
00:02:59.880
dark web scan at LifeLock.com slash Knowles. You pick the plan that's right for you, you save up to 25% off your
00:03:05.760
first year. That is a free scan at LifeLock.com slash Knowles, K-N-W-L-E-S and 25% off.
00:03:14.680
Let's get an actual public health update. 6%. 6%. You know what that number stands for? 6% stands for the
00:03:25.520
number of people who have died listed as a COVID death who have died exclusively from COVID, who did not have
00:03:35.140
other comorbidities, who did not have other underlying health conditions. 6%. This according to the CDC.
00:03:42.740
You can still find it on the CDC website, but you can't find it on Twitter because Twitter took down
00:03:48.600
this little unfortunate inconvenient fact that 94%, 94% of COVID cases, of COVID deaths rather, have
00:03:58.560
involved comorbidities, other factors. This has been something that we've seen. I mean, this is not even
00:04:04.080
a joke. You could get shot in the head and be listed as a COVID death. That has happened. There have been a
00:04:10.820
lot of games that have gone on with these statistics here. So far, 183,221 deaths overall. That means
00:04:18.740
that 11,000 people, just under 11,000 people have died solely from COVID. What's the median age of a
00:04:27.840
COVID death? Median age of a COVID death in the United States is 80. Life expectancy in the United
00:04:33.220
States is 78.6. Twitter took down this fact because they said, well, you don't understand how this works.
00:04:39.880
Sure, there might be other comorbidities, but that doesn't mean that it's not a COVID death.
00:04:44.040
Well, yeah, it doesn't mean that COVID perhaps didn't contribute to the death,
00:04:48.040
but what are we really looking at? To believe the mainstream media, to believe the Democratic
00:04:52.680
Party, you have perfectly healthy young people in the prime of their life dropping like flies
00:04:58.360
from coronavirus, but that isn't happening. To believe the Democrats and the mainstream media,
00:05:04.260
you've got young children who are totally at risk from coronavirus. That's why we have to put them in
00:05:09.160
those bubble suits now when they go to do their distance learning at the schoolhouses that are closed
00:05:13.980
because you can't have in-person school. You can only have distance learning at the school
00:05:17.460
for some reason. Obviously that is not the case either. And Twitter takes it down. You won't find
00:05:27.380
that. Go, go search on Twitter, find, try to find the 6%. The big viral posts about this all taken down
00:05:33.460
in the name of disinformation. Who's really spreading the disinformation? You know, it's just like the left
00:05:38.220
always accuses Trump of spreading hate and racism and division. Meanwhile, the left is burning down the
00:05:43.660
entire country and sowing hate and racism and division. Well, it's the same thing here. They
00:05:47.940
have been spreading misinformation about this virus, about this lockdown since day one. And now when you
00:05:53.560
try to correct that information using data from the CDC, they take you down for spreading fake news.
00:05:59.620
Here's another statistic. 90%, 90% of people who test positive for coronavirus no longer are contagious.
00:06:09.900
This is according to the New York times, by the way, in three sets of testing data that includes
00:06:14.180
cycle thresholds compiled by officials in Massachusetts, New York, and Nevada, up to 90%
00:06:19.740
of people testing positive carried barely any virus. They were not spreading it to other people.
00:06:26.860
Now we've been told that if you have no symptoms whatsoever and no, no sign that you have this
00:06:32.260
virus, that you're asymptomatic. And if you dare to leave your home, you are going to kill granny.
00:06:37.840
You're going to kill thousands and thousands of people. Now, what was that based on? Nothing.
00:06:43.860
That was based on nothing. That was based on politicians trying to get you to imprison yourself
00:06:48.600
for six or seven months. Right now we're in September. We're in September. We've been dealing
00:06:56.760
with the coronavirus since February, maybe end of January. When did the lockdowns take place?
00:07:04.180
March. March. 15 days to slow the spread. You remember that? March. Well, now summer's over.
00:07:11.160
Now, six months of your life gone. Can't go to stores. Can't go to work. Probably weren't able
00:07:18.260
to take that summer vacation. In LA for long periods, you weren't able to go to the beach.
00:07:23.460
That's the only reason to live in LA. Your life has been so dramatically affected.
00:07:29.880
Did it need to be? Wasn't really that affected by, you know, the Asian flu, the H1N1. It wasn't,
00:07:39.920
it wasn't this affected by the Spanish flu in 1918 that killed millions and millions of people.
00:07:44.440
So what happened here? Politicians, that's what happened here. You know, I mentioned these
00:07:50.020
statistics, but you have to be wary of statistics. Conservatives need to be very wary of statistics.
00:07:55.200
And there's nothing anti-intellectual about that. We have to remember that there are lies,
00:07:59.400
damned lies in statistics. We have to remember that statistics were invented for progressivism.
00:08:05.440
The word statistics comes from statist, comes from the state. It's, it's data for the state,
00:08:11.420
for the purpose of serving the state. It rose up with the social sciences. It rose up with
00:08:16.600
progressivism to basically funnel this raw data into the administrative bureaucracy to give them
00:08:24.480
a justification for passing the de facto laws that they pass. Whereas in the past,
00:08:29.580
we used to have debate about these sorts of things. So you got to be very careful with statistics
00:08:33.240
because statistics can be manipulated. And I got to tell you, sure looks like that's what's been
00:08:37.460
happening for the past six months. What about the death toll? There's a new study out that shows that
00:08:44.340
in fact, the cure was not just worse than the virus. It was 10 times worse than the virus. We'll get to
00:08:51.860
that in one second. First, I got to thank our friends over at Pure Talk USA. Very frustrating,
00:08:57.320
as you know, to pay for something. Then you find out you could have gotten it somewhere for a way
00:09:02.400
better deal. I know what you're thinking. You say, well, Pure Talk, they probably have some
00:09:08.120
different cell network and it's, yeah, sure. It's, it's okay. But I want the really top ones. I like
00:09:13.820
whatever tower, whatever I use, ATT, Verizon, or whatever. What if I told you that Pure Talk USA
00:09:19.780
uses the exact same network as one of those characters? The exact same, same towers, same
00:09:26.220
exact coverage, but it costs you half. You keep your phone, they send you a new SIM card. You get
00:09:31.160
the same great service you currently have, but at half the price. Unlimited talk, unlimited text,
00:09:35.900
and two gigs of data for $20 a month. 20. Not 20 plus 80, not 20 plus 100, 20. The average person
00:09:43.120
right now is saving $400 a year with Pure Talk USA. Their customer service also right here in the
00:09:48.640
US. Their CEO is a US veteran who understands what it means to serve this country. Right now,
00:09:53.100
you get unlimited talk, unlimited text, two gigs of data for just $20 a month. All you need to do is
00:09:57.780
grab your mobile phone, dial pound 250, say keyword Michael Knowles. That is pound or hashtag 250 and
00:10:04.500
say keyword Michael Knowles. When you do, you will save 50% off your first month. There's a new study.
00:10:10.900
This came out in Revolver. The COVID-19 lockdowns are 10 times deadlier than the virus.
00:10:22.420
10 times deadlier. Who could have predicted that? Who could have called that? Oh yes,
00:10:27.060
we could have called that on this show six months ago. We suggested this sort of thing. A lot of
00:10:32.260
people, I don't want to just take credit for that. A lot of people said, gosh, guys, when you shut down
00:10:36.440
the global economy and imprison people in their homes for months and months at a time, you know,
00:10:41.580
drug overdoses might go up, suicides might go up, unemployment, the obviously deaths of despair,
00:10:47.500
other issues might come up. And it's true. How did they calculate this? They calculated this in terms
00:10:53.600
of years of life lost by American citizens. So the lockdowns in the United States are estimated to have
00:11:01.620
saved a quarter to three quarters of a million life years, right? So one year of life for one
00:11:08.180
person, that would be a life year. So the lockdowns to their credit did save a quarter to three quarters
00:11:13.580
of a million life years, according to the study. However, the lockdowns cost us an estimated 18.7
00:11:21.420
million life years. So would seem to me, I'm no math genius, that it wasn't quite worth it.
00:11:31.880
And yet we're still doing it, aren't we? There's no real plan to reopen in California.
00:11:36.360
What's the plan to reopen in other cities around this country? New York, maybe a little bit,
00:11:43.060
DC, maybe a little bit. 15 days to slow the spread was announced in the middle of March.
00:11:49.540
Speaking of death, the left wants our country to die. That sounds like an over-the-top headline,
00:11:57.860
doesn't it? Sounds like a parody of what a conservative might say. The left wants our
00:12:02.780
country to die. Well, what if I told you that right now, separate from the virus, because you
00:12:08.040
know, the virus is very contagious if you're a conservative, but if you're a leftist gathering
00:12:11.980
by the thousands in the streets, it's not contagious at all. There are gangs of leftists
00:12:16.980
gathering around the country, chanting, death to America. Take a listen to Oakland, California.
00:12:33.460
There they are. There's a lot of them, not socially distanced.
00:12:36.140
If you weren't going to expect some kind of foreign accent, you could think that that was
00:12:51.140
taken on the streets of Tehran. You could think that that was taken on the streets of Saddam Hussein's
00:12:57.400
Iraq. You could think that that was taken somewhere in the world where people hate our guts.
00:13:03.040
But it's not. It's actually from California. It's actually from Oakland. They're not hiding it
00:13:10.820
anymore. When Colin Kaepernick started his anti-American protest now, years ago, he took a
00:13:17.760
knee for the star-spangled banner for the American flag. And I said at the time, and I know a lot of
00:13:24.020
conservatives said, huh, that's disrespectful. That's very wrong. They said, no, he's not protesting the
00:13:28.700
country. He's protesting police brutality. I said, well, that's kind of weird because the American
00:13:33.580
flag is not a symbol of police brutality. It's a symbol of America. And he's protesting that. He
00:13:39.000
said, no, it's police brutality. You just don't understand. He's just doing it for racial justice,
00:13:42.700
whatever that means. Then he started protesting the Betsy Ross flag. Then they started to burn the
00:13:49.840
American flag. Now they are chanting out and out death to America. What more do we need to know?
00:13:58.140
You know, there's this thing that we try to do, especially conservatives try to do this because
00:14:01.960
we try to be really nice people. We say, look, the left, they love their country too. Look, we love
00:14:07.820
our country. And so we hoist the American flag and celebrate America's traditions and recognize the
00:14:13.900
4th of July and revere our founding fathers. And, you know, so we, that's how we celebrate America
00:14:19.780
and the left, the way they express their love for America is by burning down the flag in the entire
00:14:24.540
country. But those are just different ways of, of celebrating your country. And you can't say
00:14:29.460
that one side doesn't love America. I think if you're chanting death to America,
00:14:34.160
I'm going to go out on a limb and say, you don't particularly love your country. Now, where does this
00:14:39.960
come from? Well, a lot of it comes from the racial hatred that has been stoked, that has been
00:14:44.900
intentionally pushed by the left, by elected Democrats and by the mainstream media and by the
00:14:51.600
university and by big tech and by every other aspect of the liberal establishment. So much so now
00:14:58.340
that you, you have a death of America chant tying into the BLM chant, tying into not just black lives
00:15:06.420
matter, but tying into the phrase white lives do not matter, which was posted by a young man who ran
00:15:14.460
up to just a middle-aged white guy walking down the street and smacked him in the head with a brick.
00:15:20.080
See the guy running up, goes up, clobbers this guy in the head, goes down and then feral animals
00:15:28.520
filming this across the street, laugh and joke and then say, Oh, how great that was that this guy
00:15:35.840
got smacked in the head? And what did they post on Instagram when this went up? Young man, you got
00:15:41.320
knocked TF out, ha ha ha. You bet not run, ha ha ha. UNK, I don't know what that means, tried to kill
00:15:50.520
yo. White lives do not matter, black lives matter. This was another guy who was attacked in another
00:15:57.420
racial crime that you will never see in the mainstream media. Obviously, if the racial roles
00:16:01.080
had been reversed here, the country would shut down, the country already is shut down with race riots,
00:16:04.940
but it would have shut down. Again, there would be a call for a national conversation about race,
00:16:10.100
about white privilege, about the systemic oppression and the racism and the blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:16:16.560
And instead, what's going to happen? This video is going to be completely buried by the mainstream
00:16:20.700
media. What would possess somebody to go up and do this sort of thing to a guy for what it would
00:16:28.860
appear to be purely racial hatred? What would possess somebody to giggle and laugh while you film,
00:16:34.940
this happening? Like a beast? Well, you would have to be so deep in the well of racial hatred.
00:16:44.460
Where did that come from? Didn't come from nowhere. Didn't just bubble up from the bottom.
00:16:48.860
This was planned and pushed from the top, which we will get to in one second. First though,
00:16:52.380
got to thank our friends over at Rock Auto. You know that in the heat wave in LA, I know there was a
00:16:59.740
heat wave going on in the rest of the country. The last thing you want to be doing is sitting around
00:17:04.280
waiting for your car to get out of the shop. You don't want that. RockAuto.com makes it so much
00:17:09.600
easier than walking into a store and someone demanding quick answers to things like,
00:17:14.000
hey, do you have the who's he, what's this for my doodad car or whatever? You know me,
00:17:17.480
I don't know a whole lot about cars, right? So when I am talking to an actual car parts salesman
00:17:22.060
at a brick and mortar, I am totally vulnerable. They can do whatever they want. I don't know
00:17:26.760
prices. I don't know nothing. RockAuto.com makes it so easy because first of all, the brick and
00:17:30.920
mortar usually then doesn't have the part. They go online. They probably order it from Rock Auto.
00:17:34.040
They charge you twice as much. Skip that part. RockAuto.com, you can get it at your desk. You can
00:17:38.740
get it in your pocket. They are a family business. They've served auto parts customers online for 20
00:17:43.240
years. They've always got the lowest prices. No gimmicks. You don't need to worry about that.
00:17:47.360
And best of all, their website is so simple to navigate. Even I can do it. That's shocking.
00:17:53.920
Same prices for professionals and do-it-yourselfers. Really great company. Go to RockAuto.com right
00:17:57.840
now. See all the parts available for your car or truck. Write Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S in their
00:18:03.920
How Did You Hear About Us box so that they know that we sent you. Another one took place just over
00:18:09.480
the past few days. 51-year-old white male was the victim of an unprovoked stabbing at an auto zone.
00:18:15.320
This was on August 25th. The victim was in critical condition, but is now expected hopefully
00:18:21.700
to recover. Why was he stabbed? Suspect was 19-year-old named Javon Hatchett, a black male
00:18:29.820
who told the police that he targeted this suspect who was an employee at the auto zone because of his
00:18:36.680
white skin. He actually told him this. So how did this guy, how did this fellow Javon Hatchett
00:18:43.160
decide that he was going to go out and stab white people one day? He told the police, he
00:18:48.700
quote, felt the need to find a white male to kill after watching videos of police brutality
00:18:54.640
on social media. Look, this guy might just be a total psychopath who should be thrown in the
00:19:01.980
clink for his entire life or worse, but let's take him at his word. Let's say that he really was
00:19:09.080
just watching these videos of police brutality on social media and he got radicalized.
00:19:14.640
I think that's true of a lot of people in this country. I think a lot of people in this country,
00:19:18.980
even people who aren't going out smacking people with bricks or stabbing people,
00:19:22.280
I think they seriously believe that there is such a thing as white supremacy or white privilege.
00:19:28.780
Now there's no evidence for this, right? What is white privilege? We only have one
00:19:33.700
legal system of legal racial discrimination in this country. It's called affirmative action.
00:19:39.440
It privileges black and Hispanic applicants. It disadvantages white and Asian applicants
00:19:44.420
to colleges and other institutions. That's the only one. That's obviously not white privilege.
00:19:49.800
That's white disadvantage. But they believe that that exists. And more than the privilege,
00:19:54.520
they believe that there's a system of white supremacy and white oppression. What does that
00:19:59.760
look like? They can't tell you. They tell you it's so subtle that it only comes out in microaggressions
00:20:05.880
and in the system. And it's, it's been pushed by people influenced by Karl Marx and Antonio Gramsci
00:20:14.040
and other thinkers for over a hundred years. And it's gotten worse in the last 50 years.
00:20:17.900
That is continued to be pushed today. The, you hear left-wing politicians, top left-wing politicians,
00:20:28.420
Joe Biden stoking these flames. Joe Biden launched his presidential campaign by saying that Donald
00:20:34.240
Trump called Nazis and white supremacists, very fine people in Charlottesville. That did not happen.
00:20:39.700
We've played the tape many times. And the same two paragraphs where he says the phrase, very fine
00:20:45.360
people. He explicitly says, I'm not talking about white supremacists and neo-Nazis who should be
00:20:50.100
condemned totally. Joe Biden, as utterly vacuous as he is, as totally declined as he is, has to know
00:20:58.280
that he's just a liar. All of these guys are liars. And these lies have real world consequences.
00:21:02.920
Because if we're going to take this, this criminal from the auto zone at his word, and in some ways I do,
00:21:08.520
that means that you've got a program, a professionalized program in this country
00:21:15.180
of liberal elites ginning up racial hatred for what they believe to be their own electoral benefit.
00:21:22.480
And what you've got to know about these liberal elites is that they're liars. They're stone cold
00:21:26.440
liars. And they are ordering this from the top. Joe Biden tweeted out, quote, this was yesterday,
00:21:33.920
he tweeted out. Does anyone believe there will be less violence in America if Donald Trump is
00:21:39.740
reelected? Now you might say, oh, this is Joe being wistful or aspirational because he's saying we need
00:21:45.960
to elect me because only I will come together and bring this racial healing to America. I'm just
00:21:52.700
worried. It's, you know, I'm worried about Donald Trump the same way a mobster walks up and says, gosh,
00:21:57.340
nice restaurant you got here. Sure it'd be a shame if something happened to it. It's a threat.
00:22:02.060
He's threatening people. If you don't believe that from Joe Biden, he's a little more subtle
00:22:06.860
about it. Take a listen to, to Kamala Harris in June, who was asked about the riots on the
00:22:13.320
Colbert show. And she said, they're not going to stop. I know that there are protests still happening
00:22:18.800
in major cities across the United States. I just not seeing the reporting on it that I,
00:22:22.660
that I had for the first few weeks. That's right. But they're not going to stop. They're not going to
00:22:27.180
stop. And that's, they're not, this is a movement. I'm telling you, they're not going to stop. And,
00:22:32.600
and everyone beware because they're not going to stop. It is going to, they're not going to stop
00:22:37.040
before election day in November, and they're not going to stop after election day. And that should
00:22:41.580
be, everyone should take note of that on both levels, that this isn't, they're not going to let
00:22:46.220
up and they should not. And we should not. So first off, she's encouraging the riots,
00:22:52.160
which so many of the Democrats have done. Second, notice how terrible Kamala Harris is on TV,
00:22:58.420
especially on Colbert show. Do you remember that other clip where he said, Hey, remember when you
00:23:02.260
called Joe Biden a vicious racist? She goes, ha ha ha. It was a debate. It was a debate. It was a
00:23:08.160
debate. It was a debate. Ha ha ha. It was a debate. It was a debate. And then it was all, she could only
00:23:12.460
say those three words. Well, same thing here. It's not going to stop. It's not going to stop. It's not
00:23:17.080
going to stop. It's not going to stop. It's not going to stop. Some creepy sort of mantra that she keeps
00:23:21.180
repeating, but it's a mantra that the whole left has been repeating. It's not going to stop until
00:23:25.280
November 3rd, until you elect us. And maybe it won't stop after November 3rd. I guess it depends
00:23:32.640
how you vote America. Nice country. You got there. Sure would be a shame if something happened to it.
00:23:40.320
These people are calling for this from the top. And lest you think that they actually believe any of
00:23:47.280
this nonsense that they're peddling about white supremacy or privilege, whatever, just remember
00:23:53.580
they're liars. I'll just give one example. This is not a racial or COVID example. This is just on the
00:23:59.520
question of energy and the question of, of fracking, for instance. Uh, the, the Trump campaign put this
00:24:04.840
out yesterday because Joe Biden is saying that Donald Trump is lying about him. When Donald Trump says
00:24:10.080
that Joe Biden wants to ban fracking, right? He's lying about, about Joe Biden. Okay. Well,
00:24:15.320
what Joe Biden doesn't realize is that unlike in the 1980s, when he thought he could get away
00:24:19.560
with plagiarism and theft, cause we didn't have home video. Now we've got video right at our
00:24:23.760
fingertips. Let's play the tape. I am not banning fracking. Would there be any place for fossil fuels,
00:24:31.740
including coal and fracking in a Biden administration? No, we would, we would work it out. We would make
00:24:38.940
sure it's eliminated and no more subsidies for either one of those, either any fossil fuel. Let me say
00:24:44.780
that again. I am not banning fracking, no matter how many times Donald Trump lies about me. No more,
00:24:53.100
no new fracking. And by the way, on the recovery act, I was able to make sure we invested $90 billion
00:24:59.460
in making sure we brought down the price of solar and wind that is lower than the price of coal.
00:25:06.520
That's why not another new coal plant will be built. I did that while you were watching. Number one,
00:25:11.720
number two, we are, we are getting rid of fossil fuels. Well, like what about say stopping fracking
00:25:17.780
and stopping? I guarantee, I guarantee we're going to end fossil. So not only you got to follow,
00:25:25.920
cause he changes this tune so often because Joe Biden blows in the wind, but he says, I am not
00:25:30.920
going to end fracking. Yeah, we're going to end fracking. Yeah. We're going to phase that fracking.
00:25:35.620
Yeah. There's not going to be new fracking. Yeah. There's not going to be more fracking. Then at one
00:25:38.660
point he says, we're going to end fossil fuels and fossil fuels. Are you going to power your country
00:25:43.240
on dreams, on hopes and dreams? No, they're not going to have a country to power. They're going
00:25:46.500
to lock everybody in their homes like they have for the last six months. Just one example, because
00:25:51.660
if they're, if Joe Biden is willing to lie to you about that effortlessly, so blatantly,
00:25:58.580
Donald Trump's lying when he says I'm going to end fracking. Look at the tape. Yeah,
00:26:02.760
we're definitely going to end fracking. If he's willing to lie about you, to you about that,
00:26:05.920
what else are they lying to you about? We will get to that question in a second because it ties in
00:26:10.700
with a major case of so-called police brutality, which we will get to first though. Got to thank

00:27:20.560
Jacob Blake. I'm sure you have heard now the story, the legend of Jacob Blake, the victim of
00:27:39.820
police brutality, allegedly. Say his name, the rioters tell us. Jacob Blake. He was that guy who
00:27:47.280
was resisting arrest. Remember, and then he, the cops have guns drawn on him. They tried to fire a
00:27:52.340
taser on him. This guy like invincible, just walks around, doesn't matter. Walks over to a truck,
00:27:57.200
opens up the truck full of kids, reaches in to grab apparently a weapon. There was a weapon hidden
00:28:01.920
there in the truck. And then finally the cops shoot him. And this is called police brutality.
00:28:06.180
Well, people are very upset that Jacob Blake got shot. Not that he resisted arrest, not that he was,
00:28:12.120
had a warrant out for his arrest anyway, but that he was shot. Fundraiser was
00:28:17.180
posted to GoFundMe. It has now raised over $2 million in donations. That was as of yesterday.
00:28:24.220
Who knows how much it's raised by today? $2 million. Well, what's the real story? You ever
00:28:29.600
wonder why all the pictures you see in the mainstream media, right? All the pictures are
00:28:33.340
Jacob Blake with his kid, Jacob Blake smiling, probably Jacob Blake from the seventh grade sipping
00:28:38.080
a juice box. What a great guy, right? Well, you, you have to ask why was there a warrant out for his
00:28:44.080
arrest? I know that's politically incorrect to ask that question, but I asked it. So then I did a
00:28:49.260
little research. Turns out that the police who were involved in the shooting of Jacob Blake were
00:28:54.580
attempting to arrest him for violating a restraining order that stemmed from an alleged sexual assault.
00:29:01.980
The alleged victim claimed that he would just show up in her house and sexually assault her. Now,
00:29:07.520
some people are calling him a rapist. And the initial reporting on this was that he was a rapist.
00:29:11.260
It's not quite the case, but it certainly was a sexual assault. The alleged victim told the police
00:29:18.400
here that she has known this man for eight years and that he physically assaults her around twice a
00:29:23.140
year when he drinks heavily. Now, I'd like to also caution the conservatives here. We actually should
00:29:30.520
give this guy his day in court, Jacob Blake, because believe it or not, sometimes people can make up
00:29:36.820
allegations. Don't forget Brett Kavanaugh. Don't forget many other times that we've seen this,
00:29:42.040
especially in the Me Too movement. However, speaking of the Me Too movement, where are the
00:29:46.280
feminists? Where are the leftists to go after this guy? Aren't all women supposed to be believed?
00:29:51.180
Didn't Hillary Clinton tell us, believe all women? What about Jacob Blake's accuser who says that he
00:29:56.080
regularly goes over and beats her and sexually assaults her? Aren't we supposed to believe her? No,
00:30:01.400
because that, that only suits the feminist narrative, which is sometimes convenient, not the racial
00:30:05.620
narrative, which is convenient right now. Now, what do we, what do we know for sure about this
00:30:11.960
guy, Jacob Blake? We know there was a warrant out for his arrest. We know he was resisting arrest. We
00:30:15.340
know he, while he had cops guns trained on him, he reached into a car full of kids and tried to grab
00:30:19.800
a weapon. So I got to tell you, it doesn't seem like a great guy to me. I am inclined to believe this
00:30:24.780
allegation just from what we know about this guy, Jacob Blake. But even then he deserves to stay in
00:30:30.080
court. Why is everybody rushing to the conclusion that he's some kind of saint? The reason they're
00:30:36.200
doing it is because the media and the Democrats and Antifa and BLM, it's all the same thing. And the
00:30:42.840
universities, it's all the exact same. And big tech could go on all day. They have painted an image for
00:30:48.800
you of this man that has nothing to do with reality. Drew Clavin brings up this example a lot. You read
00:30:55.780
the newspaper. You used to read the newspaper. Now I guess you read the website. But you read the
00:30:58.880
newspaper and you say, wow, oh my gosh, I can't believe that's happening in Iran. Wow. Oh my
00:31:05.000
gosh, I can't believe that that's happening with that merger and acquisition. And then you stumble
00:31:10.960
across a story that has something to do with something that you know. So let's say you're a
00:31:16.800
baseball player or you're just a baseball fan. You say, well, I can't believe that's happening with
00:31:20.460
the Yankees. Wait a second. That's not, that's not happening. Wait a minute. No, that story is not
00:31:24.780
true. Okay. Might as well read about all those things I don't know about and believe them.
00:31:29.280
That doesn't make sense because if they're wrong about one thing, they're very likely wrong about
00:31:34.020
other things. If they're lying to you about one thing, they're very likely lying to you about other
00:31:37.640
things. If Joe Biden is going to lie to your face about fracking some, you know, in most people's
00:31:43.860
lives, a relatively minor issue, actually is very important to your life. But in terms of your headspace,
00:31:49.600
probably doesn't occupy a lot of your time. If he's going to lie to you so blatantly about that,
00:31:52.840
what else are they lying to you about? You know, they are now saying, I don't know if you,
00:31:58.680
if you watch the RNC, you saw that the RNC wanted to make this big push to show Republicans are not
00:32:03.200
racist, which I always think is sort of pathetic and pandering that we play into the left's accusations.
00:32:09.440
They call us racist. I think we should just ignore them. But the, the Republicans then say,
00:32:12.940
no, we're not racist. We're good people. And I think we should just ignore the Democrats entirely.
00:32:17.540
But regardless, RNC made a big play to show we're not racist. A lot of prominent black,
00:32:22.840
speakers, other minorities, the Democrats are now telling you that those black people who are
00:32:30.900
Republicans who speak at the Republican party, in some sense, they're not even black. Listen to
00:32:37.480
Tiffany Cross, who's some person filling in for the Joy Reid show, who's another person who
00:32:42.060
apparently has a show on MSNBC. She described the RNC as a minstrel show.
00:32:47.900
That was not a Saturday Night Live sketch. Welcome back to AM Joy. I'm Tiffany Cross.
00:32:53.620
If you watched the Republican National Convention last week, you'd almost think that the Republican
00:32:59.000
party is the one welcoming people of color, given the big display of diversity. The convention
00:33:05.700
featured more than a dozen African-American speakers alone. But don't be fooled that the
00:33:12.220
party of Trump has suddenly warmed to the same people Trump's policies and sometimes his rhetoric
00:33:18.400
directly harms. As a friend of the show, Ellie Mistal wrote so eloquently in The Nation,
00:33:24.020
the Republicans invited a cadre of professional black friends to validate Donald Trump and make
00:33:31.120
white people feel a little less racist while still very much supporting white supremacy.
00:33:36.440
I mean, I watched the Republican convention and seeing the slew of black speakers that they had,
00:33:45.140
it really did look like a modern day minstrel show to me.
00:33:49.900
A modern day minstrel show says the woman who in another breath says that all black people need to
00:33:58.680
think and say exactly the same thing. A modern day minstrel show says a television network that forces
00:34:04.600
black people to only say and think certain things. And that insists that black people can only say
00:34:11.120
and think certain things. A modern day minstrel show says the modern day minstrel show. That is
00:34:18.100
rich. That is really rich. I want to hone in on one phrase there. Black friend, Ellie Mistal. He's
00:34:27.160
that kind of crazy looking person who goes on left-wing shows sometimes. Ellie Mistal said this,
00:34:31.460
that the GOP, they just invited their black friends. And this is like a joke. They say,
00:34:36.100
what? The GOP, okay, they've got their black friends and these black friends of theirs are
00:34:41.100
what? They're supposed to prove that you're not racist? This goes into another point the left often
00:34:46.960
makes outside of the realm of party politics. They say, just because you have a black friend
00:34:51.460
doesn't mean you're not racist. And they make fun of this. They say, you're going to deny charges of
00:34:56.600
racism by saying that you have black friends. And, and they laugh at this as though that would
00:35:01.500
be so crazy. But if you do have black friends, you're probably not racist. That is the case.
00:35:08.600
Right? If you're, if you're friends with black people, then you probably don't, don't hate black
00:35:13.400
people. Probably like some black people, not all black people, probably not all white people either.
00:35:18.240
It's, it's this bizarre thing that the left does, which is, it's actually a good argument to say,
00:35:25.600
no, I'm not a racist. Look, I have black friends. And to just mock that they don't explain why that's
00:35:31.020
not a good evidence that you're not a racist. They don't, they don't make any kind of argument.
00:35:35.240
They just insinuate. It's all insinuation. It's all laughing. It's all derision. It's all mockery.
00:35:40.000
It's all scorn. Whenever you see that mockery, that scorn, that sarcasm, which is the last
00:35:44.700
refuge of a, of a slow wit. Whenever you see that, that's good evidence. Oh, actually,
00:35:50.520
I've got a pretty good argument here. And then she says, the GOP invites their black friends
00:35:54.860
to prove that they're not racist when in fact they support white supremacy.
00:36:00.120
How does the GOP support white supremacy? You don't have an answer. Makes sense. What is white
00:36:06.880
supremacy? You don't have an answer. Good. I'm here to tell you that you should take white supremacy
00:36:14.580
and you should tuck that away with the tooth fairy and the Easter bunny and Santa Claus because white
00:36:21.420
supremacy does not exist. No one can seem to define it. No one can seem to point to it.
00:36:28.120
Everyone says it's somewhere over there, but it's hidden. It's somewhere in that aggression,
00:36:32.480
but it's micro. It's somewhere. It doesn't exist. It's a fake thing. You should, you should ignore it.
00:36:38.840
You should ignore it when people use this ridiculous phrase. It's not real. It's okay.
00:36:46.580
You can come out, you can come out at night. The boogeyman is not there. There's nothing hiding
00:36:51.020
under your bed. There's no white supremacy lurking in the closet. So why do they push it? Why do they
00:36:57.580
push these imaginary things? Why do they push these ridiculous arguments? Why are they so desperate?
00:37:02.400
It's because president Trump is making some inroads with black voters. Now I don't, I don't want this
00:37:10.060
to be misinterpreted as Donald Trump is going to win 50% of the black vote. That's not going to
00:37:14.440
happen. And I think sometimes conservatives over overplay their hand a little bit, but we can
00:37:19.360
measure it. There's a new Hill Harris survey shows black support for Trump, black approval of Trump
00:37:24.340
soared after the RNC. Now by soaring, it's still only went up to 24%. So I'm not saying that the guy is
00:37:31.860
going to win, you know, an Obama share of black voters. He's not going to win 95% or whatever,
00:37:36.980
92%. However, it's up nine points. So what went in, in August, this was taken August 11th through,
00:37:44.740
uh, August 8th through the 11th and black approval of Trump was 11%. It's now up, or I'm sorry,
00:37:51.760
it was 15%. It's now up nine points, which is a 60% increase. That's a big jump after the RNC,
00:37:58.440
the RNC clearly achieved its purpose. And the Democrats are so worried because if the Democrats
00:38:04.280
ever were to lose say 20% of the black vote, I'm being very ambitious here. If they lost 20% of
00:38:10.300
the black vote, they would cease to be a national governing party. They wouldn't exist. They need
00:38:15.840
to get around 90% of the black vote to continue to be a national party. And so they gin up that racial
00:38:22.720
division. They have to, it's an existential question for them. If they ever allow black
00:38:29.320
voters to realize that white supremacy is a complete fiction, they would lose their ability
00:38:35.440
to win elections at the national level. So they talk about stupid nonsense, like Adele's hair.
00:38:41.120
Do you know Adele? I don't really know it. She's a singer, I guess. Adele showed up and she put her hair
00:38:46.320
in some kind of knots and she wore a Jamaican flag bikini. And now people want to cancel her
00:38:52.700
because she's not allowed to do her hair a certain way. She's not allowed to wear the flag
00:38:56.640
of another country because it's cultural appropriation. Now, of course, all culture is
00:39:03.440
appropriated. Culture comes from cultivation. It's what we cultivate in ourselves. When I read Tolstoy,
00:39:09.480
I am not writing Tolstoy. I'm not pulling that out of my own imagination. I'm appropriating
00:39:14.600
something from Russia. And that's good because it cultivates me. I am appropriating culture,
00:39:19.980
which all culture must be. But they have to talk about this stupid nonsense.
00:39:25.000
Or they have to encourage people to get violent in the streets, which they're also doing.
00:39:29.220
They have to burn the country to the ground. They have to lock people up indoors. They have to tell
00:39:32.480
people they can't go vote, even though there's no scientific reason why people can't show up to vote.
00:39:36.820
They have to do anything they can to steal the election. Because even though they have what you
00:39:40.620
would call now cultural hegemony or political hegemony, they run the institutions, they run
00:39:46.000
the administrative government, they do have so much power. It is fragile. It could crack. It could
00:39:51.900
crack if they just, they don't tighten that grip, which is exactly what they're doing.
00:39:58.080
And it's working on a lot of people. You know, I said conservatives like to be really nice guys.
00:40:03.640
So we like to say, ah, look, you can look, we love our country by waving the flag. You love your
00:40:08.320
country by burning the flag. But I can't, I could never say that you don't love your country.
00:40:11.860
This applies all the more so to religion, which is in religion, you say, look,
00:40:16.860
the Catholic church, your local Christian denomination, your temple, they don't have
00:40:24.160
political point of view. Religion has nothing to say about politics. You can't have politics
00:40:29.000
and religion or religion and politics. And of course, the left never respects that. They try to
00:40:33.440
infiltrate the churches with all of their leftism, but it's never allowed to go the other way.
00:40:38.320
So this has confused many, many faithful people, otherwise faithful people, including Jim Gaffigan,
00:40:44.700
who's famously Catholic. His wife, he refers to as a Shiite Catholic and Jim Gaffigan practices the
00:40:51.060
faith as well. I hope he does, but he seems very confused. He just tweeted out, look Trumpers, I get
00:40:58.560
it. As a kid, I was a Cubs fan and I know you stick by your team no matter what, but he's a trader and a
00:41:03.240
con man who doesn't care about you. Deep down, you know it. I'm sure you enjoy pissing people off,
00:41:07.660
but you know Trump is a liar and a criminal. F Lou Holtz, the baseball coach. Biden is Catholic
00:41:13.780
in name only compared to who? How many abortions did Trump pay for? How many women has he raped?
00:41:19.000
How many times did he pull the SHIT he did in Ukraine? Wake up, he's a crook, he's a con man.
00:41:23.660
By the way, no evidence that he paid for abortions, no evidence that he raped women, no evidence that he
00:41:27.660
did anything in Ukraine. We know Hunter Biden and Joe Biden did, but not Donald Trump. Wake up,
00:41:32.080
he's a crook and a con man. His argument being this, the same stupid religious argument, which is
00:41:36.980
you can't tell me that it's, it's wrong for Joe Biden to pretend that he's a Catholic and then
00:41:44.880
support abortions. You can't tell me that's outrageous. There's no right way to be a Catholic.
00:41:50.360
That's the, there's, there's no wrong way to be a Catholic. At least there is, there is,
00:41:54.700
it is not acceptable for Catholics to vote for Joe Biden. You can't do it. You are imperiling
00:42:03.420
your soul. If you do that, Joe Biden supports infanticide up until the moment of birth paid
00:42:11.560
for a taxpayer expense. Joe Biden supports suing nuns. He faithfully served an administration
00:42:18.460
that sued nuns. He promised if he's elected again, that he will sue more nuns. He persecutes
00:42:24.340
the church. There were many other reasons too. A faithful Catholic cannot vote for Joe Biden.
00:42:31.760
You are putting yourself in grave danger. If you do, you don't need to take my word for it.
00:42:36.960
Listen to a very courageous priest by the name of father James Altman, who puts it even more bluntly.
00:42:43.060
Here's a memo to clueless, baptized Catholics out there. You cannot be Catholic and be a Democrat,
00:42:50.460
period. Their party platform absolutely is against everything the Catholic Church teaches.
00:42:58.320
So just quit pretending that you're Catholic and vote Democrat. Repent of your support of that party
00:43:04.780
and its platform or face the fires of hell. Yes, Virginia, there is a hell. There's a well-known
00:43:11.620
cleric who seems to be putting out there that, oh, hell is an empty place. Sorry, buddy.
00:43:17.140
It's not what Jesus said. Jesus said many are going to choose that broad road to destruction.
00:43:23.100
Only a few are going to choose the narrow, very difficult road to the narrow gate to heaven.
00:43:28.560
There will be 60 million and counting aborted babies standing at the gates of heaven,
00:43:34.860
barring your Democrat entrance. And nothing you can say will ever excuse you for your direct
00:43:41.960
support of that diabolical agenda during the end. Couldn't have said it better myself.
00:43:50.220
We don't say this sort of thing to be judgy, you know, to be really downers and fire and brimstone
00:43:57.280
and Bible thumpers or whatever, whatever other phrase you want to hear.
00:44:00.440
We say these sorts of things as an act of compassion because the truth will set you free and lies will
00:44:09.800
ruin your life here and after here and in the eternal. You know, there's this left-wing premise,
00:44:16.320
you see it especially with transgenderism, that the truth is cruel and mean and you shouldn't tell
00:44:22.140
the truth like that a man is really a man and not a woman and that lies are compassionate and
00:44:27.440
comforting and will help you thrive, which they won't. They'll kill you. You've got to resist that
00:44:33.360
temptation. You've got to realize that the truth is a very good thing. I know it seems like it should
00:44:41.480
be so obvious, but now we're told don't tell the truth. Don't tell the truth about these political
00:44:47.520
questions, how our religious views relate to politics. Don't forget, politics downstream of culture,
00:44:52.680
culture downstream of religion because cult and culture come from the same root word.
00:44:57.440
Don't tell the truth about that. Don't tell the truth about white supremacy or race in America
00:45:03.580
because we just need to let those Democrats try to maintain their absurd lock on a certain voting
00:45:08.920
demographic by spreading lies that are so vicious that they drive some people crazy enough to attempt
00:45:14.160
murder. Don't tell the truth about the coronavirus because, you know, defer to the experts, better safe
00:45:21.560
than sorry. Listen to the authority unless the authority contradicts the political authority of the
00:45:26.780
Democrats, in which case we've got to listen to them. That's a very cruel game. That's very harmful
00:45:33.680
to our health, to our lives, our health here on this planet, our health as a nation, and our life
00:45:40.600
in the hereafter. Got to pay very attention. There are consequences to truth and lies. All right,
00:45:46.180
