Dr. Fauci feels liberated. Dr. Fauci was just giving a press conference because now, you know,
00:00:07.920
he worked for Reagan, then he worked for Bush, then Clinton, then Bush, then Obama, then Trump.
00:00:13.900
Now he's working for Joe Biden. Presidents come and go. Dr. Fauci remains. And he was asked
00:00:18.740
about the differences in working for Biden and working for Trump. He couldn't be happier.
00:00:24.700
You've joked a couple of times today already about the difference in that you feel in being
00:00:31.800
kind of the spokesperson for this issue in this administration versus the previous one.
00:00:36.700
Can you talk a little bit about about how you feel
00:00:39.600
kind of released from from what you had been doing for the last year?
00:00:45.340
Yeah, but you said I was joking about it. I was very serious about it. I wasn't joking.
00:00:51.460
No, actually, I mean, I mean, obviously, I don't want to be going back, you know, over history. But
00:00:57.780
it was very clear that there were things that were said, be it regarding things like hydroxychloroquine
00:01:03.700
and other things like that, that really was uncomfortable because they were not based on
00:01:08.320
scientific fact. I can tell you, I take no pleasure at all in being in a situation of contradicting the
00:01:15.460
president. So it was really something that you didn't feel that you could actually say something
00:01:19.800
and there wouldn't be any repercussions about it. The idea that you can get up here
00:01:24.280
and talk about what you know, what the evidence, what the science is, and know that's it. Let the
00:01:31.160
science speak. It is somewhat of a liberating feeling. It's a liberating feeling. And as Dr.
00:01:36.960
Fauci feels more and more liberated, as Dr. Fauci has more and more liberty, our liberties seem to
00:01:44.360
shrink, seem to decay, seem almost to disappear. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:01:49.800
Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment from yesterday is from Alex Morris, who says,
00:02:01.340
if a conservative speaks in a forest and no one is around to hear them,
00:02:06.420
censor them anyway. That's true. This is the new opinion of the left.
00:02:10.420
It used to be if conservatives are around Twitter, if they're around YouTube, if they're around your
00:02:16.200
platform with lots of liberals on it, then you should censor them. But ever since they booted
00:02:21.140
Parler from the internet, it says, yeah, send conservatives out into the middle of nowhere
00:02:25.240
and then censor them anyway. Well, we're going to have a whole lot more of that coming. And I know
00:02:30.880
it makes people feel uncomfortable. If you want to feel really comfortable, you got to check out
00:02:35.160
Buttercloth. Buttercloth is the most comfortable dress shirt you will ever wear. That is not hyperbole in
00:02:41.560
any way. I didn't believe it until I tried it. You're not going to believe it until you try it.
00:02:45.000
And you have to try it. Buttercloth is not stiff and scratchy at all, like typical men's dress shirts.
00:02:50.700
It feels like you are wearing your favorite softest t-shirt. It feels, it almost feels like
00:02:55.000
you're wearing pajamas, but it looks really sleek like a dress shirt. There's this revolutionary fabric
00:02:59.520
with long fiber cotton and six-way stretch. I figured it was some crazy synthetic thing. It's not.
00:03:04.200
It's just really, really amazing cotton. It's breathable, keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer.
00:03:09.040
They even have one shirt where it's got little mint fibers in it. So you put it on even after
00:03:13.840
you've worn it many, many times and it cools your skin down. It's unbelievable. They got the
00:03:17.740
attention of ABC's hit show Shark Tank. They got a quarter million dollar investment in it and they
00:03:22.360
should have gotten a bigger investment, frankly. You should invest in Buttercloth. They're offering

K-O-W-L-E-S. You know how much I love Buttercloth. Really, really tremendous clothing.
00:03:44.300
Dr. Fauci feels so liberated that he can finally discuss the science without having to say things
00:03:50.120
that are not based in scientific fact. Like for instance, you remember at the start of the pandemic
00:03:55.040
when Dr. Fauci came out and said, do not wear masks. Masks don't work. Masks will not stop the
00:04:00.900
spread of a virus. Maybe they'll sort of make you feel good, but they won't actually do anything to
00:04:05.380
stop the spread. You remember when he said that and then weeks later completely contradicted himself
00:04:10.900
and said, now you have to wear masks. You should wear masks all the time. Then you remember weeks
00:04:14.940
after that, as he was still discussing how much you have to wear masks and he even wore a mask in
00:04:19.160
the middle of an empty baseball stadium right on there and he tried to dribble a pitch to the
00:04:23.000
catcher. Then he went back to his seat. What did he do? Sitting right next to his friends,
00:04:26.360
takes his mask off. You remember that? I'm so glad that now he doesn't feel that he has to
00:04:32.760
contradict scientific fact. And when he was asked about this, by the way, do you know what his
00:04:36.320
excuse was? This blatant contradiction. He said, well, look, at the time I said, don't wear masks,
00:04:42.360
we wanted to save the masks for the healthcare workers. So we didn't want all the plebs buying
00:04:46.960
it. You know, we didn't want all you proles buying up all the masks. Then the important elites can't
00:04:51.420
get him. So yeah, I lied to you. I told you to, you shouldn't wear the masks at all. And then when we
00:04:57.200
found out we had enough masks for the healthcare workers, I told you something different,
00:05:00.820
but you should believe me now. Even though I'm telling you at this very second that I lied to you
00:05:05.500
at the start of the pandemic, believe me now, scientific fact. What was missed, I think,
00:05:11.640
by a lot of people in that admission that Fauci made regarding healthcare workers and the reason
00:05:16.440
why he discouraged the masks and encouraged the masks. And the reason why he's actually said this
00:05:20.660
even on possible death rates or survival rates, all these sorts of things. He said, he said he was
00:05:27.540
hoping that if he gave out a certain number that could maybe push the conversation in another
00:05:32.460
direction. He's not just reading the scientific data such as it is. He's, he's an activist. He's
00:05:39.220
trying to push society in one direction or the other. Fair enough. That's part of his job as a
00:05:44.220
scientist. But that's not science in the way that we're talking about it, right? In the way that
00:05:50.240
Fauci's joking about it at the press briefing, he's saying, I just want to look, I'm just about the
00:05:54.620
facts. I don't have a political ideology. No, you do. You do. If you're, if you're saying that
00:05:59.840
you're going to lie to the public so that certain people can get something and certain people won't
00:06:04.140
buy it all up, that's a political consideration. And that's what all of this is about. Fauci's
00:06:09.120
liberation is a liberation for the technocracy. Fauci's liberation is a liberation for the blob,
00:06:18.300
the unaccountable bureaucrats who we do not elect, who presidents come and go and they stay
00:06:24.520
there forever. And they really are liberated under Biden because Biden is nobody. Biden is
00:06:29.820
absolutely nothing. If you unbuttoned his suit jacket and unbuttoned his shirt, you could stick
00:06:35.960
your hand all the way through. There's nothing but air in there. He is nothing but a vessel for that
00:06:41.200
blob, for that liberal establishment. Most of which is beyond the scope of democratic politics. Most of
00:06:48.280
which is the major multinational corporate interest, much of which is the big technology
00:06:55.160
interest that controls the flow of information in the public square. Most of which is the
00:06:58.420
administrative state that has very little connection to democratic politics. That is a liberation. But
00:07:05.880
that liberation is directly contrary to our liberties, the liberties that we, the people,
00:07:11.960
have enjoyed and enjoyed less and less with each passing breath that Dr. Fauci takes to regurgitate
00:07:19.560
his ridiculous edicts in public. The greatest, the greatest regret I would say that I have from the
00:07:26.080
Trump administration is that Trump did not get out there on day three and fire Fauci and banish him
00:07:33.080
to a far off island. He is a power mad liar. He is so deceitful. He is utterly ignorant of political
00:07:43.160
philosophy. He's very good at practical politics, but he's, he's either ignorant or intentionally
00:07:47.940
deceitful about the nature of the American constitutional order and political philosophy.
00:07:53.620
And he's a great danger to the country. And now that dude is liberated. One thing he's very happy to
00:07:59.200
announce, Dr. Fauci, is that the United States is going to be rejoining the World Health Organization.
00:08:04.400
You remember the, the US pulled out of the WHO because the WHO is a puppet organization for the
00:08:10.180
Chinese Communist Party. And the WHO permitted China to have this virus fester in their country.
00:08:17.800
They totally carried water for China. They totally lobbied for Chinese interests,
00:08:21.920
even as the virus was beginning to spread. And the head of the, of the WHO was, was picked
00:08:27.640
by the CCP and Dr. Fauci. So pleased to announce now that that mean old Trump is gone. Now we're
00:08:34.300
getting back to business as usual for the liberal blob. We're going to rejoin the WHO.
00:08:38.500
I am honored to announce that the United States will remain a member of the World Health Organization.
00:08:49.200
Yesterday, President Biden signed the letters retracting the previous administration's
00:08:56.560
announcement to withdraw from the organization. And those letters have been transmitted to the
00:09:05.020
Secretary General of the United Nations and to you, Dr. Tedros, my dear friend.
00:09:11.920
In addition to retracting the notification of withdrawal and retaining membership in the WHO,
00:09:22.780
the United States will cease the drawdown of United States staff seconded to the WHO and will resume
00:09:34.000
regular engagement of US government personnel with the WHO both directly and through our WHO
00:09:43.800
collaborating centers. Dr. Tedros, my dear friend, Dr. Tedros. Dr. Tedros, who's the head of the WHO,
00:09:52.860
was handpicked to lead that organization by the Chinese Communist Party as part of a broader
00:09:59.040
Chinese strategy to take over these multinational international institutions, many of which fall
00:10:05.220
under the umbrella of the United Nations, which should be bulldozed and turned into the Donald
00:10:10.060
Trump Presidential Library and Casino. Beautiful waterfront property. I think it would be a wonderful,
00:10:16.260
wonderful way to celebrate the first term of Trump's presidency. He's a young man compared to Joe Biden.
00:10:23.100
There's a lot of opportunity in the future. Tedros, WHO, many of these multinational institutions,
00:10:32.680
not just the non-governmental ones, but the corporate ones too, fall under this liberal blob and they are
00:10:38.420
so happy. These guys are back in power. You want to see how creepy this is? There was a clip going
00:10:45.340
around. Maybe you've heard about the conspiracy theory of the Great Reset or the idea that a lot of
00:10:51.480
liberal people are going to exploit the coronavirus issue to reset society, rework the economy, rework
00:11:00.300
various political orders. It's a radical, crazy conspiracy. I have no idea where they would have
00:11:05.740
gotten this idea from. It's a very pertinent question to ask, how do we build back better?
00:11:13.700
Do we have a chance to reset the clock and build back better than before?
00:11:17.580
To build back better than before. Remember the terrible damage of COVID as we try to build back
00:11:24.620
from this global pandemic. Joe Biden calls it build back better. Build back better.
00:11:32.080
Building back better. To do things differently. To build back better.
00:11:38.080
We're going to build it back better. And build it back better.
00:11:42.060
My plan to build back better. Start taking all the problems that have been created in education
00:11:50.660
and mental health and start to build back in a positive way. I have launched a booklet called
00:11:57.940
Build Back Better. Britain After Coronavirus. It's about building this country back better.
00:12:06.580
A growing conspiracy following it. It is called The Great Reset.
00:12:12.000
An unprecedented opportunity to rethink and reset the ways in which we live.
00:12:18.640
That clip could go on for several more minutes, okay? So I understand that some people get kooky
00:12:25.600
with their theories about these kind of cabals of evil elites ruling the world. I don't think you need
00:12:31.500
any kind of conspiracy theory. People in public, the liberal elite in public are coming out and
00:12:36.360
saying, yes, we're going to use this as an opportunity to rework the economy, to rework
00:12:40.260
society, to rework the political order. There's no question about that. There's obviously cooperation
00:12:45.100
going on, not just among the liberal blob in the United States, but around the world. Certainly,
00:12:51.420
certainly a time where we want to feel safe and secure, not just in our persons, but in our
00:12:57.100
personal data. That's why you got to check out LifeLock. A new tactic for stealing your credit
00:13:02.360
card and personal information has recently been discovered. This new web skimming attack or e-skimming
00:13:07.500
injects malicious code into a compromised e-commerce website's checkout process that pulls your order
00:13:13.320
information to display it on a fake checkout page that steals your information. It is important to
00:13:18.680
understand how cybercrime and identity theft are affecting our lives. Every day, we put our information
00:13:24.080
at risk on the internet. You could miss certain identity threats by just monitoring your credit,
00:13:29.200
which is why there's LifeLock. LifeLock is a leader in identity theft protection. It is so easy. I didn't
00:13:36.140
used to think this either. I used to think, ah, well, they're not going after my information.
00:13:40.140
They are, and it's very easy to get. No one can prevent all identity theft or monitor all
00:13:44.180
transactions at all businesses. LifeLock can see threats that you might miss on your own.

00:14:06.920
This idea of building back better, this idea of some people are calling it the great reset.
00:14:14.420
I don't really use that term because it sounds conspiratorial and it sounds like secret and
00:14:21.020
nefarious. It certainly is nefarious, but it's all out in public. You have plenty of these liberal
00:14:26.520
elites, some of the elected politicians and many unelected people describing this. And the way that
00:14:32.120
one builds back better or the way that one resets society is not really done through democratic
00:14:37.900
politics. In a way it is. Some of these people are elected, but mostly how this will be done is at
00:14:43.620
the administrative level or at the corporate level, also beyond the realm of democratic accountability.
00:14:51.900
When you put people out of work for nine months, 10 months, it's more than that now, I guess. I guess
00:14:56.600
we're coming up on a year, aren't we? When you put people out of work for that long, you make them
00:15:04.360
much more vulnerable to these sort of plans. You gin up society. You encourage the sort of riots that we
00:15:11.120
saw all year long. You clamp down on political rights. Now you can't, you can't go to church still
00:15:18.160
in many places. You could always go buy a dime bag of pot in California. You could always go to those
00:15:26.640
essential services, but you couldn't go to church. And the excuse for this was public health. Well,
00:15:33.380
who runs the public health? It's this bureaucracy. It's this doctor dictatorship. It's Dr. Fauci liberated.
00:15:39.320
And where, where do our liberties go with that liberation? Very, very creepy. There is one set
00:15:47.480
of rules for the people. There is one set of rules for the liberal elite. We talked about this a lot
00:15:53.240
yesterday. We mentioned yesterday how Joe Biden issued a mask mandate. He said on federal lands,
00:16:02.020
you must always wear a mask, no exceptions at all times. He then hours later goes to the Lincoln
00:16:09.000
Memorial to participate in this ritual. He goes, brings his entire family. Well, not the, not the
00:16:15.120
grandchildren that he refuses to acknowledge, but he brought the family that he will acknowledge.
00:16:19.880
He brings them to the Lincoln Memorial and they're just cello playing and it's all very beautiful.
00:16:24.620
They're not wearing masks. None of them are wearing masks. Hours after he mandated that all the rest of us
00:16:29.500
wear masks at these very places. Jen Psaki, the press secretary now for Biden was asked to question
00:16:36.020
about this yesterday. I said, you know, isn't that a kind of a mixed message that we're getting? We're
00:16:40.800
told you, everyone has to wear masks, but then Biden and his entire family won't wear masks themselves.
00:16:46.020
Psaki had a weak answer. Why weren't President Biden and all members of the Biden family masked at all
00:16:52.620
times on federal lands last night, if he signed an executive order that mandates masks on federal
00:16:58.280
lands at all times at the inaugural memorial. Yes. I think Steve, he was celebrating an evening of a
00:17:09.360
historic day in our country. And certainly he signed the mask mandate because it's a way to send a
00:17:14.860
message to the American public about the importance of wearing masks, how it can save tens of thousands
00:17:21.160
of lives. We take a number of COVID precautions, as you know, here in terms of testing, social distancing,
00:17:27.200
mask wearing ourselves as, as we do every single day. But I don't know that I have more for you on
00:17:33.220
it than that. Oh man. First, the first take that I have on this is not even having to do with the
00:17:39.420
substance, which we'll get to in a second. My first take is this woman is really bad at her job. I know
00:17:44.100
that the press are going to say she's wonderful and brave and stunning and glorious and everything.
00:17:47.920
Kayleigh McEnany, whether you like her or not, you should like her. She's just tremendous. But
00:17:52.280
even if you don't like her, you have to acknowledge she was very good at her job. She was very, very
00:17:57.480
good. She was always so prepared. She had killer answers. She had mic drop moments. Sarah Sanders,
00:18:02.620
incredibly good at her job. Okay. The Trump press secretaries did a great job. This woman fumbling
00:18:10.520
around. Well, uh, uh, he, uh, he didn't wear the mask because he wanted to send a message. Oh, he sent a
00:18:16.020
message. Oh, honey, he sent a message. It wasn't the message that you seem to think he's sending.
00:18:21.020
It wasn't the message that the masks are really important and we've all got to wear them. The
00:18:25.380
message he sent was there's going to be one set of rules for you, the peasants, and there's going
00:18:30.940
to be one set of rules for me and my family. And that's been true for the Biden family for many
00:18:35.320
years. If anybody did what the Biden family did in Ukraine, in China, selling political influence
00:18:43.540
for millions and millions of dollars, they would be in orange jumpsuits. Not the Biden family,
00:18:50.780
not the liberal elite, not the liberal establishment. Goes all the way down to the masks.
00:18:55.980
Well, he wanted to send a message of how important, if he wanted to send the message of how important
00:18:58.860
the masks are, he should wear the mask. We always, we who are on the staff, we always wear the mask.
00:19:03.700
You're not wearing a mask right now, are you Jen Psaki? No, you're not because it doesn't matter
00:19:08.160
because no one, no one believes, no one pushing the mask rules really believes that the masks do
00:19:15.400
anything. There are some gullible people out there who think that the masks are very important to
00:19:20.400
public health. But I, I promise you, Dr. Fauci doesn't think so. He told us he doesn't think so.
00:19:25.980
And then in his own behavior, he's demonstrated he doesn't think so. Jen Psaki doesn't think so.
00:19:30.560
She's not wearing the mask. The reporters who were in the press briefing room during the Trump
00:19:34.400
administration don't think so. They'd have their masks on for show during the press conference.
00:19:38.200
And when they thought the cameras were turned off, but sometimes they weren't turned off.
00:19:41.780
The minute the, the lights go down, they take the mask off. They don't believe this. Joe Biden
00:19:47.240
doesn't believe the masks matter. He doesn't wear one. Even after he mandates that everyone else wear
00:19:51.540
one on the exact spot where he's standing, he doesn't make his family wear one. None of these people
00:19:56.420
believe it. The idea that anybody could watch the Biden family traipse around these federal lands
00:20:02.060
without masks hours after he signs the mask mandate and still believe that the masks are anything but
00:20:08.240
a political prop astounds me. It is all about a new hierarchy. It's all about a new caste system.
00:20:17.580
It's all about one set of rules for the and one set of rules for me. You're going to see this
00:20:26.080
increase. There was a video yesterday posted by Biden to YouTube titled President Biden's
00:20:32.020
Wears in Day One Presidential Appointees in a Virtual Ceremony. This was posted on January 20th,
00:20:37.520
day he was inaugurated. The comments were turned off. Now, I think they've since been turned back on
00:20:46.220
and it, and we've now learned why they were turned off in the first place. This thing was ratioed as
00:20:52.360
can be. I think got about 5,000 likes and 25,000 dislikes, not a good ratio. And one does not even
00:20:58.540
want to look at the comments. This is what you're going to see. We talked about it yesterday. In the
00:21:04.620
name of democracy, we're going to see behavior that is very anti-democratic. We're going to see
00:21:11.040
Fauci liberated. We're already seeing that happen. And it's a very ugly thing. The reason they do this
00:21:18.800
is because they know that if they open up their agenda to democratic accountability, they'll lose.
00:21:25.040
They, I'm even, I'm going to put the election aside for a second. There are many questions that
00:21:30.240
one may have about, about the election and elections moving forward. I'm going to put that aside for a
00:21:34.740
second. If you put out there, if you said, I'll give an example that's very popular. If you said,
00:21:42.280
hey, I want a referendum on whether or not to let grown men into the girls changing room at the public
00:21:47.840
pool. How do you think that would do at a fair open ballot? I think probably it would be like 90 to 10
00:21:56.120
against that measure, right? I, I, there's no way that would pass. And yet the left with their vessel,
00:22:05.980
Joe Biden are pushing for that. Actually that specific example, they've already pushed for through
00:22:11.180
an executive order. Joe Biden, this is one of his first acts as president. Don't tell me he's going to
00:22:15.860
be moderate. He won't. He signs this order that reads in part, quote, every person should be treated
00:22:22.460
with respect and dignity and should be able to live without fear, no matter who they are or whom
00:22:27.100
they love. Blah, blah, blah. Obviously just nothing, nothing, platitude, platitude. Give me the meat.
00:22:31.960
What does this mean? Children should be able to learn without worrying about whether they will be
00:22:36.680
denied access to the restroom, the locker room or school sports. Hold up. As far as I know,
00:22:43.860
no child is told he can't use the bathroom or he can't play sports or he can't go to the locker
00:22:49.000
room. I don't see any example of that anywhere in the country unless Joe Biden is using a euphemism
00:22:56.320
here. Is he saying that it's not that children are denied access to play sports. It's that little
00:23:01.240
boys are denied access to play girl sports. That's what he's saying. Adults should be able to learn,
00:23:06.900
to earn a living and pursue a vocation knowing that they will not be fired, demoted or mistreated
00:23:11.160
because of whom they go home to or because how they dress does not conform to sex-based
00:23:16.280
stereotypes. People should be able to access healthcare and secure a roof over their heads
00:23:19.760
without being subjected to sex discrimination. All persons should receive equal treatment under
00:23:23.640
the law, no matter their gender identity or sexual orientation. And there it is. There it is.
00:23:28.380
In one fell swoop, Joe Biden eliminated through executive order, girls' sports, girls' bathrooms,
00:23:35.660
girls' changing rooms. This pervert, and you know, I've, I've held off on calling him a pervert,
00:23:41.720
even when we were all making fun of the hair sniffing and all that stuff. I held off. I felt
00:23:45.400
it was kind of a cheap political shot. He's, he's a back slapper, not a pervert. This executive order
00:23:49.880
is perverted. It's sick. It's deranged. This sicko on his first day in office, second day in office,
00:23:58.200
makes it a top priority to let grown men into the little girls' changing room. Sick, sick stuff could
00:24:05.320
only ever happen through executive order. You know, Joe Biden has been right a couple of times.
00:24:14.560
I would say at, at most a couple of times. Broken clocks are right a couple of times a day. If you
00:24:21.360
want a clock that works though, you got to check out Vincero. These watches, they're super cool. They
00:24:25.980
look fabulous. Very, very stylish. A little, a little more intricate maybe than some other watches
00:24:31.720
on the market. They look tremendous and the price is really, really, really reasonable. Finding a watch
00:24:39.720
that is stylish, bold, and built to last can cost a pretty penny. Vincero watches are changing that.
00:24:47.420
They believe that you deserve to look good no matter your budget. You deserve better than settling for
00:24:52.180
something. Underwhelming. With the new year, they are now offering a five-year warranty and a 365-day
00:24:58.400
return policy. These are some of the best promises in the business. You're not going to want to return
00:25:03.280
it. When you put it on, you will know that you got more than you paid for. This is the best value for
00:25:08.840
your money, guaranteed. It's a little more of an intricate design. They look really, really good.
00:25:14.120
They've got 20,000 five-star reviews. It's really high-quality stuff. This deal is too good to pass
00:25:21.420

00:25:48.440
Now that Biden is showing his radicalism, we are seeing pushback already with one
00:25:55.360
congressman, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, filing articles of impeachment against Joe Biden
00:26:03.060
already. He's two days into his presidency now. She's already filed articles of impeachment. I think
00:26:09.960
it's absolutely hilarious. Here is her reasoning. He's filed articles of impeachment on President
00:26:15.440
Joe Biden. We'll see how this goes. Now I say that's her reasoning because that's basically all
00:26:21.260
impeachment is going to mean from now on. I think the legal argument has something to do with the
00:26:27.280
massive evidence of his corruption in China, which was suppressed by the big tech companies
00:26:32.220
before the election, the Hunter Biden scandal that was completely shut down. You couldn't even message
00:26:37.240
the article because they wanted to throw the election for Joe Biden. And then only after it
00:26:41.200
didn't matter anymore, did they finally reopen that. There was a study that came out from the
00:26:46.900
Media Research Center that I think it was something like 14% of Biden voters could have changed their
00:26:53.060
vote had they known about that scandal. So that's, I guess, ostensibly the legal basis, but that's not
00:26:57.500
really. The basis for impeachment is purely political in this case, which is you're going to impeach my guy
00:27:05.200
multiple times. Well, I'm going to impeach your guy. And that's probably the way politics is going to start
00:27:10.660
working. Probably they're, I mean, they're still impeaching the past, the previous president. So there
00:27:19.380
will, there will be a Senate impeachment trial for Donald Trump who cannot be impeached because he's no
00:27:23.740
longer in office. And I know that there are some people who think this is an open constitutional
00:27:27.540
question. It's constitutionally absurd that the president can be convicted, impeached and convicted
00:27:33.480
after he has left office. It cannot happen. And if it does happen, it's a constitutional absurdity
00:27:40.820
and outrage. So now the Republicans are going to file impeachment against Biden. Fine by me.
00:27:46.860
Totally fine by me. Why? Is it because I think impeachment should be used this way? No, I don't
00:27:53.100
think impeachment should be used this way. I think there's a wrong way to use impeachment.
00:27:56.540
But impeachment is used this way. And I don't think that we're going to restore
00:28:01.580
a more dignified kind of politics by unilaterally disarming. I think that's what we've done for a
00:28:07.500
very long time. And it, and it didn't work out very well. We kind of tried this already. You know,
00:28:12.680
Barack Obama committed impeachable offenses, notably in his IRS scandal, uh, notable fast and
00:28:19.480
furious would be another example, but the IRS was really bad. DOJ, he, uh, spied on his political
00:28:25.680
rivals and tried to undermine their campaigns. If we're allowed to now impeach and convict presidents
00:28:29.920
after they've left office, let's do that. Let's impeach Obama. But we tried. Okay. I don't,
00:28:35.920
I don't want to hear, this is what we're going to hear. They're going to say Republicans started all
00:28:39.520
of this because in the nineties they impeached Bill Clinton over some eccentric activities in
00:28:45.400
the Oval Office, private matter. Well, that's not true. He was impeached for perjury, but
00:28:49.360
even putting that aside, okay, let's say, let's say the Clinton impeachment was ill-advised. Let's say
00:28:53.520
it was politically. Okay. Or partisan rather, rather than having a legal basis. Fine. We did
00:29:01.540
not impeach Barack Obama when we could have. John Boehner and Mitch McConnell refused to do it.
00:29:07.340
Did that buy us goodwill? Did that restore us to a dignified kind of politics? No. They impeached
00:29:13.060
Trump. They actually did exactly what Marjorie Taylor Greene did. Everyone remembers, well,
00:29:18.220
the current impeachment and they remember the, the impeachment a year ago. People forget the
00:29:23.400
articles of impeachment filed in 2017. Representative Al Green. Interestingly, it was
00:29:28.540
another representative Green who first proposed impeaching Trump in 2017, right at the beginning
00:29:34.820
of his presidency. Why? Well, Green's argument was if we don't impeach Trump, he might get reelected.
00:29:40.260
That's the argument for impeaching him now. They're saying if we don't impeach Trump and convict him
00:29:44.500
in the Senate, he might run for office again and get reelected. Does that sound like people who think
00:29:49.660
that they have the majority of Americans on their side? Does that sound like people who think that
00:29:55.860
democracy is going to triumph for them? Does that sound like people who believe their views are really,
00:30:01.920
really popular? I don't think so. I think it sounds like people who, who know that the only way that
00:30:07.060
they're going to win is through chicanery, through irregularity. I'll leave it at that.
00:30:12.960
You know, Mitch McConnell wants to delay this impeachment trial. Mitch McConnell, so the
00:30:25.560
conviction already happened. Mitch McConnell wants to delay the impeachment until mid-February.
00:30:30.320
So according to McConnell's timeline, the impeachment article would be read before the Senate on January
00:30:34.960
28th. Then Trump would have to respond by February 4th, even though he's out of office. Then he would have
00:30:40.940
another week until February 11th at the latest to submit a pre-trial brief. Then the House would be
00:30:46.040
required to submit a pre-trial brief by February 4th also. Then a rebuttal pre-trial brief would,
00:30:51.920
would happen February 13th. Then you get the impeachment trial.
00:30:58.720
Very strange. Obviously, we've never been in a situation like this before.
00:31:01.800
And even this whole idea of the impeachment, I mean, we were saying it traces back to Bill Clinton.
00:31:08.640
It doesn't. It actually goes back to, to Richard Nixon. You know, Watergate. And you know all those
00:31:15.540
things that are worse than Watergate today. Everything is worse than Watergate today. But
00:31:18.740
it really did begin. The Democrats did start all of this with Nixon. And it was ridiculous because
00:31:23.000
Nixon's offenses were, were nothing compared to what had been done by his predecessors who were
00:31:27.300
Democrats. But they really wanted to oust him because he was an effective and pretty tough
00:31:31.620
president. So we've, we've never done this. We've never removed a president from office through
00:31:37.280
impeachment. And, and we've certainly never removed a president for, from office after he left office
00:31:42.840
through impeachment. That's not even how impeachment works. But, so McConnell's trying to push it off and
00:31:48.460
push it off and push it off. I don't think this is about helping Trump. I think this is about gaining
00:31:52.420
leverage. Okay. I think this is about saying, look, Democrats, you're going to have this big
00:31:58.320
ambitious agenda. And I right now could make, I could give you your conviction. I could keep Trump
00:32:02.960
out of running for office again, or maybe I couldn't, maybe I could stand in the way. What
00:32:05.740
do you want? What do you want to do? I think Mitch McConnell's a wheeler and dealer. I don't think
00:32:08.880
he has any special love for Trump. And I think they're going to drag this out as leverage, which
00:32:13.240
one can expect. But if they do convict Trump, I don't even know what it means to convict Trump
00:32:19.780
after he's left office. That will make this problem so, so much worse. And we're not going to
00:32:26.080
win that argument through concession. We're not going to win this battle by playing nice. They don't
00:32:33.260
want to play nice with us. We need to get tougher. We need to assert ourselves. We need to stand up
00:32:39.100
with greater courage. You know, Joe Biden, one of the most disgusting aspects of his presidency,
00:32:45.540
and it's already pretty disgusting, is that he blasphemes his religion. He uses his religion
00:32:51.880
blasphemously to justify major, major evils, such as abortion and trying to get taxpayers to fund
00:32:58.660
abortion, that sort of thing, and questions of gender and everything else. So the USCCB, the US
00:33:04.180
Council of Catholic Bishops, usually a very weak organization, they came out under Archbishop Jose
00:33:09.240
Gomez, who I really like actually. I think he's a good guy. He came out and he criticized President
00:33:15.200
Biden, and he said, you know, this is really bad. I must, and he said all these nice things about
00:33:20.380
Biden, but then he said, I must point out that our new president has pledged to pursue certain
00:33:23.120
policies that would advance moral evils and threaten human life and dignity, most seriously
00:33:28.060
in the areas of abortion, but also contraception, marriage, gender, and the liberty of the church.
00:33:32.680
Now, Cardinal Cupich, who some, some people who are very rude have called Cardinal Cupcake,
00:33:38.080
but it's very rude. Cupich and other corrupt people in the Catholic church have pushed back on this,
00:33:43.640
said, how dare you stand up for unborn babies? Let, let them all die. Let, let Biden pursue his,
00:33:48.660
his murder, murderous agenda unimpeded. Come on, how dare you? I love that Gomez stood up here,
00:33:55.280
Archbishop Gomez. I wish that the bishops would stand up even further. Joe Biden must be excommunicated.
00:34:00.640
This is, he, he is in a state of grave mortal sin. Excommunication is not just a punishment.
00:34:05.200
It's something that one does out of compassion to right the guy's soul and to right the souls of the
00:34:11.720
flock because not just of the grave sin of supporting abortion, but this grave sin of
00:34:16.540
scandal, which is being incurred. But as long as we refuse to assert ourselves, as long as we refuse
00:34:22.920
to have courage, the worst elements of society are going to be liberated and it's going to be much
00:34:27.620
more difficult to, to reign them back in. You know, we just crossed 400,000 subscribers. Be sure
00:34:34.360
to check out RIP to the funniest commander in tweets, which are the funniest tweets from Trump's
00:34:39.740
presidency. We, we put this out there as a sort of in memoriam to Trump's Twitter account,
00:34:45.940
not even just to the administration, but the tweets, they're really, really tremendous.
00:34:49.560
Last night I walked in to sweet little Lisa because I was reading through some of Trump's
00:34:54.080
tweets on Diet Coke. And one of them I loved when he was attacking Diet Coke. He went out and he said,
00:34:59.780
you know, Coca-Cola is very angry with me because of my comments on Diet Coke. That's okay.
00:35:05.840
I'll still keep drinking that garbage. That is such a brilliant, so complex, so bizarre. And there
00:35:15.720
were some, so many wonderful tweets like that. So go check it out. Go check out Daily Wire's first
00:35:18.740

00:35:57.900
All right. First question from Keith. Dear Michael, in several of your shows, you've said reality will
00:36:02.560
always reassert itself. Our culture and politics seem to careen further left for the next four years
00:36:08.340
under Biden's administration. In your opinion, what will be the first ways or areas in which
00:36:13.060
reality will begin to reassert itself against the insanity of the left and how far will our country
00:36:17.740
and culture have to sink before that happens? Well, we are seeing it reassert itself in one way
00:36:22.660
and it's this issue we were just talking about today. The girls' bathrooms thing
00:36:26.600
really seems to be an important issue and a wedge issue. When I say a wedge issue, I mean it drives a
00:36:34.120
wedge between our political opponents. You've got the left brought, let's say on the left you've got
00:36:39.120
feminists and you've got these gender ideologues, right? These kind of the transgenderists.
00:36:46.720
They're leftists, right? Feminists included. They're leftists. We're conservatives. But this issue
00:36:52.420
of the transgender bathrooms splits the left. It drives a wedge in between them, between the
00:36:56.220
feminists who say, wait a second, girls ought to be able to have sports. Girls ought to be able to
00:37:00.400
change in privacy. Girls ought to be able to have their own bathrooms. This is what we've been
00:37:04.160
fighting for for decades. And the transgenderists who say there's no such thing as girls, honey,
00:37:09.420
you know, men can define femininity and actually being a woman is nothing more than slapping on some
00:37:15.060
lipstick and a pair of stilettos. And then the feminists saying, what? How dare you? You can't
00:37:19.300
reduce femininity to that and then they sort of duke it out. And you see this in the battles between
00:37:24.240
J.K. Rowling, famously, and other leftists. J.K. Rowling is what you'd call a trans-exclusive
00:37:29.860
radical feminist. There's nothing radical about her view on gender. She's saying men and women are
00:37:34.900
different, right? There's nothing radical at all about that. The radical view is that men and women
00:37:39.740
are not different. So I do think that's one way in which reality will reassert itself. It is important
00:37:43.760
to recall, though, that conservative consolation is reality eventually reasserts itself, but it can
00:37:49.740
take a while. It can take a long time. French Revolution took a long time, okay? Lots of bad
00:37:57.180
things can happen in the meantime. There's something I noticed. You know, conservatives often talk about,
00:38:02.200
and I'll talk about it on the show too, the kind of progressive utopian view of politics, that the arc
00:38:07.140
of history bends toward justice. And we kind of make fun of that. And it's right to make fun of that
00:38:11.680
because the view is preposterous. However, conservatives have an analogous view, right?
00:38:18.480
Christians have a view. We think that history will end up in justice. It's just that it'll get a lot
00:38:23.380
worse before then in the end times, and then we'll have the second coming of Christ, and we'll have
00:38:28.160
this wonderful new heaven and new earth, right? Progressivism is just, in so many ways, an aping
00:38:36.480
of Christianity, an inversion of Christianity. We've talked about this many times on the show.
00:38:41.720
Political correctness is an anti-standard. It's a new speech code to overthrow the old moral codes.
00:38:48.300
And so you're seeing these analogous sorts of things. But when we say reality reasserts itself
00:38:54.880
in the end, we're making a similar claim to, you know, the arc of history bends toward justice.
00:38:59.020
But even for the progressives, when they say the arc of history bends toward justice,
00:39:02.560
well, it might take a long time, right? And they talk about that as well. So I think it is important
00:39:07.460
to recognize the similarities between our views. The difference is that theirs is a kind of mirror
00:39:13.320
image, you know, inversion of the true principle and the true moral order. From Matthew, future
00:39:21.020
press secretary Knowles, will Daily Wire hire a White House reporter for the Daily Wire to ask the
00:39:26.360
challenging questions of the Biden administration? You know, to compete with mainstream media and
00:39:30.020
actually get real reporting. I recommend Kayleigh McEnany. Yeah, she would be pretty great. Oh my gosh,
00:39:34.860
could you imagine if we sent Kayleigh in as the White House reporter asking questions of Jen Psaki,
00:39:40.580
who appears to have some whistling going on between the ears, just not quite up to the job in the way
00:39:46.780
that her predecessors in the Trump administration were? That'd be great. I can't imagine Biden would
00:39:50.660
ever let us in. I just don't see that happening. Conservatives always take questions from these
00:39:55.760
leftist reporters, but the left does not usually take questions of right-wing reporters. Very,
00:40:00.740
very few. One exception might be Peter Doocy. Peter Doocy from Fox News actually does very good work
00:40:06.920
and has needled Joe Biden for a long time, but that's it. You know, they'll let the one, maybe
00:40:11.620
one outlet out, which isn't even all that conservative these days. I don't think they
00:40:17.760
would let someone who's strongly conservative really in, into the room. So sadly, I don't think,
00:40:23.000
I think we're going to get a whole lot more questions of, so what color drapes does Joe want in the
00:40:27.900
Oval Office? Wow, what a fascinating question. From Daniel, Michael, I've noticed that you like
00:40:32.160
to use the phrase, the Protestant Revolution, to describe what they call the Reformation,
00:40:37.040
but a revolution implies the overthrow of a whole system, such as the French or Russian
00:40:41.200
revolutions. As it is inaccurate to term the American separation from Britain a revolution,
00:40:46.420
right, because it didn't overthrow Great Britain, likewise, it seems inaccurate to call the separation
00:40:50.360
of the Protestants from the Roman church a revolution. The church has not been overthrown,
00:40:54.520
but a schism has occurred. A Roman Catholic friend of mine calls it the Protestant schism,
00:40:59.540
and that seems a more appropriate description. What do you think? I agree with that. I think as a
00:41:03.480
matter of religion and theology, Protestant schism is more precise, just like you talk about the Great
00:41:11.060
Schism between the East and the West, right, that happened a thousand years ago. However, I still prefer,
00:41:17.420
for the purposes of this show, I still prefer the term Protestant Revolution, because putting religion
00:41:23.940
aside, that certainly the various Protestant denominations didn't overthrow the Catholic
00:41:28.960
church, but as a political matter, they did. As a political matter, the Protestants won.
00:41:36.360
The Protestant revolution, and by the way, I tend to view the Protestant, what is, whether you call it
00:41:41.420
the Protestant, I mean, it wasn't a reformation in the sense that it didn't reform the church,
00:41:46.160
it just created another church. So it's, I really don't use the term reformation, but whether you want
00:41:50.960
to call it a schism or a revolution or whatever, as a political matter, the Protestants won. You know,
00:41:58.340
what happened out of the Protestant revolution was you had all of these kind of wars of religion,
00:42:02.980
you had the 30 Years' War, and then the end of the 30 Years' War was the Peace of Westphalia,
00:42:06.640
which in 1648 established our system of nation-states. The world order, as we know it today,
00:42:12.640
was a product directly of the Protestant revolution. You would not have this system of nation-states
00:42:19.020
without it. And so, as a result, I do consider that to be a revolution. And I don't, who knows
00:42:25.240
what the next world order will be. You know, we're always, we always hear this term, the new world
00:42:29.080
order, a one world government, kind of going back to an empire model, but not a Christian empire. It's
00:42:33.960
like some kind of weird, secular, atheist, liberal empire, whatever. I just mean, until there is another
00:42:41.140
world order, you know, that, that revolution defines our political world. And so, I, I do prefer that
00:42:48.540
term. But I think precisely as a, as a religious matter, yes, it is, it is a schism. From Mitchell,
00:42:53.760
Dear Mr. Knowles, I am a 16-year-old writing from St. Paul, Minnesota. Believe it or not,
00:42:58.480
there are conservatives there. I was recently having a discussion with a friend and he proposed
00:43:02.340
getting rid of the two-party system because it seemed to result in the two sides hating each other.
00:43:06.280
However, we struggled to find a system to replace it. Would you recommend getting rid of the
00:43:09.940
two-party system? If so, what would you recommend replacing it with? No, I would not get rid of it.
00:43:13.340
I'm a great defender of the two-party system. The two-party system is good. If you have 20
00:43:19.140
different parties, like they have in many European countries, you have usually chaos and governments
00:43:24.500
collapsing. And sometimes you have radical parties empowered because more mainstream parties kind of
00:43:33.360
split the more mainstream vote and the radicals can kind of get in there sometimes. So I don't like
00:43:38.780
that at all. If you're saying we need to get rid of party politics altogether, that's just not going
00:43:43.500
to happen. We've had a two-party system in this country from the very beginning. We had this
00:43:49.120
Washington administration, which was nonpartisan theoretically, but it was federalist, right?
00:43:56.480
Leaned federalist. And you then had the federalists and you had then the Jeffersonian Republican
00:44:04.780
Democrats, right? Then you had other parties that cropped up in the wake. Andrew Jackson founded
00:44:10.640
the Democratic Party. You had the Whig Party. You had Abraham Lincoln sort of found the Republican
00:44:16.080
Party as the first Republican president. Not the first Republican nominee, but that party is founded
00:44:20.720
in 1854. First National Convention is 1856. First President is 1860. And you've had those two parties
00:44:27.340
ever since then. We might have a new party. I'm fine with that. I don't have any particular love
00:44:31.640
for the Republican Party. And I certainly don't have affection for the Democratic Party.
00:44:36.020
But I think we ought to probably keep, we will keep the party system. And I hope, I hope we keep
00:44:40.200
the two-party system for the purposes of having any kind of moderation or, or continuity in our
00:44:48.280
politics. From Brendan. Dear he who turns the covfefe up to 11. How palatable would the idea be of
00:44:56.080
admitting Puerto Rico as a state alongside rural parts of Northern California and Eastern Oregon
00:45:00.440
to make the state of Jefferson a proposed Pacific state. States were admitted as pairs of free and
00:45:05.120
slave states to maintain the balance of political power previously in our history. Do you think the
00:45:09.460
shared desire to grant statehood to these areas along with the resulting maintained balance of
00:45:14.860
political power would make this idea possible or even preferable for both sides of the political
00:45:18.980
aisle? Could you please explain too why Puerto Rico would be a lock for two Democratic senators
00:45:23.500
with no chance of Republicans winning either seat? Thanks. Well, if you just look at the political
00:45:28.000
preferences of Puerto Ricans, it's left wing. So I'm not saying that couldn't change over time,
00:45:33.680
but it would be, it would be a practical matter. It would be a lock if Puerto Rico were admitted as
00:45:39.800
a state. I don't like the idea of admitting Puerto Rico along with the proposed state of Jefferson or
00:45:45.040
something. One, because you'd have a lot of trouble if you started carving up U.S. states. Separations do
00:45:52.440
not happen peacefully. Separations of political territories into new political territories have
00:45:59.180
never happened peacefully as far as I can tell in this country or in the world rather. Very, very rarely.
00:46:05.560
So you'd, you'd be, you'd be hard pressed to do that, I think. I would be, as a practical matter,
00:46:11.500
no state is going to want to let itself be cracked up. And what would the purpose be? If you're going to
00:46:17.120
maintain the balance of power, why admit Puerto Rico is a state? I don't even see the argument for
00:46:21.560
admitting Puerto Rico is a state. If you could present a compelling argument for why it would
00:46:25.460
be advantageous to the country to admit Puerto Rico is a state, then I guess we could talk about how to
00:46:30.280
do it and maintain the balance of power. But, but even that, that idea of a compromise, by the way,
00:46:35.540
reminds us of the 1850s, which you're talking about in the mid 19th century, states were admitted
00:46:40.720
one slave, one free to maintain the balance of power. That got us a civil war. You know, that was,
00:46:47.080
I do not look to the 1850s as my load star when I'm trying to craft politics. And I fear that we're
00:46:54.780
in a situation that has some parallels to the 1850s. And if you were to get into a situation where
00:46:59.580
you're now admitting one democratic state, one Republican state, and you're banking on those
00:47:03.980
states remaining that way to maintain the balance of power, that is a, that is a scary situation to
00:47:09.820
be in. And I don't want to further provoke civil strife. From Ruby, Michael, I want to buy a Bible
00:47:16.040
and I'm overwhelmed with the number of options. I have done some research and I narrowed it down to
00:47:20.140
the NIV, the NET, and the RSV Bible. Do not buy the NIV. First thought, any word of advice would be
00:47:26.900
appreciated. Love your show. Thanks for all that you do. Yes, I would recommend, obviously I would
00:47:31.200
recommend a Catholic Bible. So, you know, you get the deuterocanonical books. It's a little bit
00:47:35.840
longer. The deuterocanonical books are the books that were taken out after the Protestant
00:47:38.960
Revolution. But so you get some extra books, get more bang for your buck in that way. And I
00:47:43.080
suspect more wisdom. If you were going to get a Catholic Bible, I would recommend the RSVCE,
00:47:50.320
the Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition, or better yet, the Douay Reims, which is one of the
00:47:55.300
best Bible translations ever in history. If you don't want to do that, if that's a little too
00:48:00.640
macro snapping for your speed, then I would recommend getting the ESV for readability is a good
00:48:07.420
Protestant Bible. And the KJV is the most beautiful. I mean, that's just one of the greatest
00:48:11.940
works of literature ever produced in the English language. Well, I suppose a little less so for
00:48:17.780
readability, but it's still, you know, it's so beautiful. So maybe if you're going to buy a
00:48:23.140
Protestant Bible, I'd buy both of those, ESV and KJV. And I guess same thing is true for Catholic
00:48:28.400
Bible. If you're going to buy a Catholic Bible in English, maybe buy the RSVCE and the Douay Reims.
00:48:33.400
Sorry that I just spent more of your money for you. But I think, I think it's good to have both
00:48:36.700
with the sort of heightened, beautiful language and the readability. From Gavin. Hi, Michael. Love
00:48:42.320
the show. In the past, you've criticized soccer and other sports as un-American and referenced
00:48:47.180
boxing as a superior alternative. As someone who practices in fights in several combat sports,
00:48:51.820
I agree. However, I'm also a practicing Catholic and have often heard sports like boxing deemed
00:48:56.420
immoral, which is why though I practice striking sports such as boxing, I only compete in grappling
00:49:01.380
competitions like wrestling. What is your opinion on the morality of training and or competing in
00:49:05.780
mixed martial arts? Is it wrong to watch the UFC? Thanks. Hashtag came for Ben, stayed for Knowles.
00:49:10.680
I don't think it's wrong. No. I mean, you know, I'm coming from a perspective though, where my,
00:49:15.680
my priest is a boxer. Okay. So he's not a professional boxer, obviously, but he's, he is,
00:49:21.120
he's boxed. So I, I think it's a, it is a beautiful sport, right? It is sort of the,
00:49:25.760
the beautiful sport. And soccer is not, it's not the beautiful sport though. That, that is a popular
00:49:32.340
idea. It's just, it's kind of soft, you know, it's kind of boring. It's foreign. You just don't
00:49:38.280
like it. They're trying to import it into America, but it should not be imported. We import enough bad
00:49:43.280
ideas and bad things into America. We, we should do tough, good old American sports. And it, the more
00:49:48.500
it drives the rest of the world crazy, the better, as far as I'm concerned. That's, that to me is the
00:49:52.800
marker of how you know that it is a, a good sport. I don't think people should go out there and start
00:49:56.760
shivving each other and killing each other in the ring, but some good combat I think is perfectly
00:50:01.760
in keeping with the great tradition of sports. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles

Hey everybody, this is Andrew Klavan, host of The Andrew Klavan Show. You know, some people are
00:51:05.660
depressed because the republic is collapsing, the end of days is approaching, and the moons turn to

blood. But on The Andrew Klavan Show, that's where the fun just gets started. So come on over to The
