Summary
I m not against vaccines, okay? I m not even necessarily against the COVID vaccine. However, the neurotic creeps that keep demanding we all get the shot no matter our risk level, no matter how young or healthy we are, who just insist on it, who want to watch us do it, they are making me significantly less inclined to get the vaccine. Case in point: CNN's Brian Stelter, who has a voyeuristic, creepy desire to watch conservatives on television getting jabbed with the shot.

I'm not against vaccines, okay? I'm not even necessarily against the COVID vaccine.
00:00:07.880
However, the neurotic creeps that keep demanding that we all get this vaccine, no matter our risk
00:00:15.720
level, no matter how young or healthy we are, who just insist on it, who want to watch us do it,
00:00:21.260
they are making me significantly less inclined to get the vaccine. Case in point, Brian Stelter,
00:00:29.340
CNN, who has this voyeuristic, creepy desire to watch conservatives on television getting
00:00:36.860
jabbed with the COVID shot. I think it's really important to see all these TV anchors, personalities
00:00:43.200
showing themselves getting the shot. We've seen a lot of vaccine selfies from lots of folks at lots
00:00:49.280
of different networks. It's been really inspiring to see. The Today Show even brought the co-host
00:00:55.300
outside for a live group vaccination this week. And Rachel Maddow on Friday on MSNBC talked about
00:01:01.400
how she was really fearful of the needle, really worried about it. And yet it was important to
00:01:06.820
get the shot. And she did. And there she is talking about it on air. So I say all of that to make the
00:01:11.460
following point. Where are Tucker and Sean Hannity and Laura Ingram? Where is Ainsley
00:01:16.260
Earhart and Steve Ducey and Brian Kilmeade? Where are the biggest stars on Fox getting vaccinated?
00:01:21.660
I get it's a personal choice. I get that's between, you know, the hosts and their health care provider.
00:01:27.780
But everybody else is doing it, right, Matt? I mean, all across television, all these anchors
00:01:31.500
are rolling up their sleeves. Why do you think we haven't seen the biggest stars on Fox News
00:01:36.260
get vaccinated or show us their vaccine selfies?
00:01:39.760
It's really important that they show us their vaccine selfies. It's so there's nothing more
00:01:44.580
important to public health than for some young and healthy conservative TV hosts to get a shot
00:01:50.060
on TV, right? I love he says it's really inspiring to watch these people who have done it. And then
00:01:55.020
he shows a picture of himself. It's so inspiring. It's so virtuous. Because, of course, this is not
00:02:01.220
about prudential judgments and risk assessment. This is about a new scientific sacrament in the
00:02:09.600
religion of secular progressivism. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show.
00:02:20.260
Welcome back to the show. Really, really crazy stuff. I spoke at Ave Maria College on Friday. Was it
00:02:29.600
Thursday or Friday? It was my first speech back on campuses in 14 months. I had done it. I was supposed
00:02:36.680
to do about 20 campus speeches last year. They all got canceled, except for one or two just before
00:02:42.360
coronavirus. Then starting in March, they all got canceled, obviously, because the colleges were
00:02:46.320
closed. It was great to be back. And coincidentally, we spoke about this religion of secular
00:02:53.200
progressivism, the same kind of craziness that Brian Stelter is implying. And I recommend you go check out
00:03:01.260
the talk. I really enjoyed it. Who knows how much longer it'll stay online because it questions not
00:03:07.080
the science. I'm using a lot of air quotes today, but I really am only using the air quotes around the
00:03:12.460
word science. It's this way of justifying all this neurotic sort of pseudo religion that the left is
00:03:22.400
pushing right now. So you can go ahead over and check that out on YouTube. My favorite comment on Friday
00:03:27.400
from Jake who says, so if I tell them that I don't have any documents, you know, at the border in the
00:03:32.880
country, do I get $15,000? Hello, my name is Javier. Where do I sign up? Yes, New York's, New York is
00:03:40.800
giving $15,000 grants, a little over that actually. I think it's $15,600 to illegal aliens. They're not
00:03:47.540
going to let you, the American citizen, go out, run your business, work your job, but they will pay
00:03:53.300
people five figures to violate our laws. That is how backwards things have become. Please call me
00:04:00.380
Miguel, Miguelito. Yes, Miguelito from that Latin, famously Latin American country of Sicily.
00:04:08.200
I guess they spoke Latin there some time ago. That would, look, if I had an extra $15,000 in the bank,
00:04:13.860
that would help me certainly sleep easier at night. The way I'm already sleeping easy though,
00:04:18.280
ball and branch. If you dream of comfortable sheets at a price that won't keep you up all night,
00:04:22.600
look no further than ball and branch. Ball and branch makes the softest organic sheets on the
00:04:27.500
market. They get better with every wash. Comfort is not their only standard, by the way. They use
00:04:31.840
100% sustainable raw materials. They're the first fair trade certified manufacturer of linen.
00:04:37.500
You can feel as good about your ball and branch sheets as they feel against your skin. These
00:04:42.320
signature hemmed sheets from ball and branch are a bestseller for a reason. Buttery soft, lightweight,
00:04:46.980
organic cotton, and a classic sateen weave for sheets that get softer over time. I had a queen
00:04:54.760
size pair of these sheets. They're the greatest sheets I ever used. I love them so much. It was
00:04:59.180
wonderful. It really made the early days of my marriage great. Then we upgraded. We got a king
00:05:02.800
sized bed. We didn't have those sheets. We didn't. And I, we had, we said, should we get them? I don't
00:05:08.740
know. Should we? Yes, we have to. Of course we do. And, and you really have to get them too. They are,
00:05:13.120
they are the best part about going to sleep. Experience the best sheets that you've ever

00:05:30.300
the mainstream media that we all get this COVID vaccine, no matter how young and how healthy we are,
00:05:35.380
is weird and creepy. And the fact that they want to watch us do it is even creepier. And the fact that
00:05:42.420
they have been wrong about COVID from the beginning and they have misled people about
00:05:46.920
two weeks to slow the spread, flatten the curve, find a cure. Now we're going to be locked down
00:05:50.480
according to some people for years at this point. The fact that their predictions have been wrong,
00:05:55.800
2 million people dead. Donald Trump's timetable is never going to work. Trump's timetable on the
00:06:00.360
vaccine was absolutely 100% correct. They don't have any credibility. So why on earth should I
00:06:06.320
trust them? I'm not saying that vaccines are terrible. I'm not saying, I'm not even saying I won't
00:06:10.480
get the COVID vaccine at some point. I'm just saying, I feel no rush to do it. And their insistence
00:06:15.760
that I do is making me less likely to do it. They also have no explanation for why the states that
00:06:22.800
have reopened are watching their coronavirus cases go down. And those are Republican states and the
00:06:29.880
states that are continuing to lock down, Democrat states, are seeing cases skyrocket. They're trying
00:06:35.880
to come up with a bunch of cockamamie answers, but they just don't have it. Here's the Today Show
00:06:39.860
trying to figure it out. Call it a COVID conundrum. In states with the strictest measures in the
00:06:45.220
country, like Michigan, Pennsylvania, and much of New England, cases are on the rise. While in the
00:06:51.040
South, states like Arkansas and Texas that have reopened businesses and ripped away mask mandates
00:06:55.940
are seeing their numbers drop. I'm announcing today that the statewide mask mandate will be lifted.
00:07:02.940
People and businesses don't need the state telling them how to operate.
00:07:08.060
So what might explain the apparent contradiction? One theory, differences in testing rates.
00:07:14.300
Alabama has experienced one of the biggest dips in reported infections, more than 50% in two weeks,
00:07:20.380
but it's also dead last in the U.S. for COVID testing. Only 56 tests per 100,000 people.
00:07:26.800
That's a fraction of what you'll find in places like Vermont, Massachusetts, and New York,
00:07:31.240
where numbers are surging. How much does lack of adequate testing have to do
00:07:35.340
with the numbers that we're seeing right now? When you don't test, you're blind. And when you're
00:07:39.520
not testing, you have a false sense of what the real problem is in your community.
00:07:48.020
That's the theory. This goes on for several minutes, and they just go through a bunch of
00:07:51.660
different theories as to why their main theory doesn't work. It shows you how desperate they are.
00:07:59.100
Absolutely pathetic. I think people should watch the whole clip at some point. You go on the
00:08:03.040
internet, later watch the whole NBC clip. They're just throwing spaghetti at the wall. But even to
00:08:07.200
their point here, their best theory that they led with is, well, the reason that it looks like the
00:08:11.900
states that reopened are fine and the Democrat states that are still locked down are surging.
00:08:17.480
The reason is because the Democrat states are testing more. Okay. Well, we're not seeing spikes
00:08:24.380
in death, right? We're not seeing spikes in people's lives falling apart. It just looks like Texas
00:08:29.820
and Florida and all the normal conservative states are fine. I mean, I was in Texas a few,
00:08:35.060
or rather in Florida a few days ago. I've been to Florida several times this year, at least three,
00:08:39.760
four times this year. And it's great. It's totally fine. It's totally normal, but they're not testing.
00:08:44.540
They don't know how bad it is. I mean, this is the same sort of logic, illogic that you hear
00:08:49.300
from leftists when they say that oppressed groups of people just don't understand how oppressed they are.
00:08:56.120
They're laboring under a false consciousness when some allegedly marginalized group goes about its
00:09:02.500
day without thinking about how terrible their lives are. No, maybe you're just a bunch of neurotics
00:09:09.060
on the left and you're worrying in an inordinate way about this virus, which requires some prudential
00:09:17.880
judgment, but doesn't imply that you should completely shut your lives down. Absolute neurotic
00:09:24.480
hysteria that has now been exposed that they are now scrambling to try to defend, but there is no
00:09:30.140
way to defend it. It is just a weird quirk of the left-wing psychology. So people like Governor
00:09:37.820
DeSantis in Florida have been right the whole time. And Democrats like, well, Andrew Cuomo for sure,
00:09:44.820
but other leading Democrat governors on coronavirus too, have been wrong the whole time. And that's just
00:09:50.160
the way it is. So DeSantis just held a panel in Florida. It was with a number of experts on the,
00:09:56.440
on the virus, including Harvard professor, Dr. Martin Kulldorff, Oxford university epidemiologist,
00:10:02.140
Dr. Sunitra Gupta, Stanford physician and epidemiologist, Jay Bhattacharya, and Stanford
00:10:08.540
professor, Dr. Scott Atlas. He moderated this discussion regarding the, the response to the COVID
00:10:15.400
pandemic and the insanity that the left has foisted on us. And do you know what happened? They posted
00:10:20.920
this on YouTube and YouTube pulled it down. YouTube said, we can't have this kind of misinformation,
00:10:28.460
this violation of our community guidelines on the air. So you can have Andrew Cuomo go on and spout a
00:10:37.800
bunch of nonsense and lies about coronavirus. Totally fine. You can have that on YouTube.
00:10:41.620
You can have a bunch of other doctors, frankly, with less impressive credentials than these guys
00:10:46.260
from Harvard, Stanford, Oxford. You can have them go on and say that we all need to hunker down
00:10:51.220
and maybe come out of our homes in 2027. But if you get a successful governor and correct experts to go
00:11:01.280
on and criticize the liberal establishment's insane response to coronavirus, that's not allowed.
00:11:09.600
And it doesn't matter. Governor DeSantis was elected by the people. Too bad. Who cares?
00:11:15.000
YouTube's not going to, not going to have it because YouTube has much more political power
00:11:20.160
than Ron DeSantis. YouTube has much more political power than any Republican politician in the country.
00:11:27.320
In the words of Mitch McConnell, big technology would appear along with woke America, corporate
00:11:33.080
America generally. This big business would appear to be running a parallel government.
00:11:39.660
And we need to stop that. For several decades, Republicans embraced this really shallow ideology
00:11:49.440
that suggested that big business, good, big government, bad. Anything, frankly, anything government does,
00:11:57.080
bad. Anything these giant corporations do, totally good, including censoring the people's
00:12:03.900
duly elected representatives when they tell the truth about coronavirus. And even beyond,
00:12:08.600
well, this is true and this is false and here's a fact and this is a lie. They're just expressing
00:12:12.700
their political opinion about what measures were taken, which obviously there were a ton of mistakes
00:12:19.920
made along the way. I don't think anybody would deny that. But that's not permissible because that
00:12:24.640
contradicts the state established religion of secular progressivism. And so they are going to
00:12:30.180
be shut down. And I think Republicans need to wake up. We are starting to wake up finally and say,
00:12:35.460
oh, big business when they behave in this way and undermine our whole country and subvert our
00:12:39.320
constitutional order. They're no better than big government. In many ways, they're much worse
00:12:44.240
because there's not even the semblance of accountability for these people. YouTube will just
00:12:48.840
pull it and Ron DeSantis can complain about it. He can try to pass some laws in Florida.
00:12:53.140
Probably even that won't be very successful. Who is really running the country?
00:13:00.460
Times like these with such political craziness makes you want to invest in physical gold.
00:13:05.240
Physical gold is not the cheapest thing in the world. You know, you're not going to reach in
00:13:09.600
your couch cushions and be able to just buy several bars of physical gold. But Acre has figured out this
00:13:14.960
great way to let you invest in gold without coming out of pocket all at once. Acre lets you subscribe
00:13:19.300
to gold bars for as little as $30 a month. You pay each month and once your gold stash reaches the
00:13:24.860
price of their gold bars, they will discreetly ship Acre Gold to your house. Just recently,
00:13:29.540
they introduced a new $100 a month subscription to a five gram gold bar. Acre keeps you updated on
00:13:34.740
your gold stash every month and ships once you reach the price threshold. With Acre, taking physical
00:13:40.260
delivery of your gold means it's safe and sound and in your hands. Acre designs their gold in
00:13:45.220
California sources their gold from one of the largest mints in Switzerland. They provide
00:13:49.780
industry first packaging that looks and feels more expensive than other gold alternatives.
00:13:54.420
Also now, they're making a 24 karat gold 9 millimeter bullet for you to buy. I wouldn't
00:14:00.440
actually shoot this thing. That would be a very expensive round, but pretty amazing, especially
00:14:04.620
during our ammo shortage. Go to getacregold.com slash Michael. Start investing in physical gold today.

00:14:23.560
another major public health threat that our country faces. You probably haven't heard of this one. Hard to
00:14:30.820
take a look at it under a microscope, but rest assured the CDC director, Dr. Rochelle Walensky,
00:14:36.500
is focused on it. This would be the serious public health threat of racism. She says, quote,
00:14:46.200
the disparities seen over the past year were not a result of COVID-19. Instead, the pandemic
00:14:51.620
illuminated inequities that have existed for generations and revealed for all of America,
00:14:57.460
unknown but often unaddressed epidemic impacting public health. Racism. What we know is this.
00:15:05.480
Racism is a serious public health threat that directly affects the well-being of millions of
00:15:12.040
Americans. As a result, it affects the health of our entire nation. Not one sentence in that statement
00:15:21.040
was coherent. Not one idea that was expressed by the CDC director made any sense. Racism is not a public
00:15:32.480
health threat. It's not a serious public health threat. It's just not a public health threat at
00:15:36.980
all. Not every bad thing is a public health threat. But there is a reason that they're trying to frame
00:15:45.040
it this way. This is, this, this is the heart of my talk that I, coincidentally, that I, or providentially
00:15:51.060
perhaps, that I just gave at Ave Maria College. Everything needs to be made scientific. Science,
00:15:58.620
in that very narrow, empirical, modern idea of science. Everything now needs to fit into that.
00:16:06.220
Racial hatred is bad. It is not a public health threat. But because the, the only way that we can
00:16:15.920
discuss anything anymore is in this very shallow, narrow language of, of physical, material science,
00:16:22.420
everything has got to be gussied up in that sort of language. Why, why is racism bad?
00:16:29.840
You ever, I know, and we're all told racism is really, really bad, you know. So what is racism,
00:16:33.380
right? Hatred, antagonism towards someone on the basis of their race, bad stuff. Why is it bad?
00:16:43.260
Can you, I can, I can answer why it's, it's bad because it's an offense against human dignity
00:16:48.540
because man is made in the image of God. That's why, that's it. It's not complicated. That's it.
00:16:55.020
Very simple. Was that one sentence? Good. Okay. Now, if you don't believe in God and you sort of
00:17:03.640
deny or at least ignore all the metaphysical aspects of our life, you know, our hopes, our joys,
00:17:08.780
our loves, dignity, all that sort of stuff, and you just believe in the physical stuff,
00:17:13.320
why is racism bad? You can't give an answer. There is no answer. You can't really say anything's bad
00:17:19.540
or anything's good for that matter. So these people, these, these people who have absolutely no
00:17:25.960
political, philosophical, theological education or sophistication whatsoever, and frankly,
00:17:34.400
they don't have much scientific education either. They try to gussy everything up in the,
00:17:39.600
the normal language that we hear about public, public health.
00:17:47.200
Manifestly, that is, manifestly racism is not a public health threat. And even if it were,
00:17:52.220
it wouldn't be a threat to the people who aren't of the affected races, right? You can't,
00:17:56.960
you can't explain why racism is bad with that really narrow, silly vocabulary. You have to expand
00:18:05.340
your mind a little bit, but we can't because the minute that you start granting the existence of
00:18:10.440
a metaphysical reality of, of an objective moral order of the supernatural, there's a natural world
00:18:16.200
and then there's the supernatural world. The moment that you admit of that, then the state religion of
00:18:21.040
secular progressivism falls apart. And the state religion of secular progressivism, by the way,
00:18:26.160
now hinging on this neurotic fear of death that has perfectly healthy millennials putting 17 masks on
00:18:32.160
their face and getting shots on television to, to show their supreme virtue. That is embarrassing
00:18:38.800
stuff. You should not, you should not make that your religion. Speaking of racial hatred and public
00:18:46.660
and actual public health threats, you're going to be shocked to hear this. If you're driving, pull over.
00:18:51.120
If you're standing up, sit down. There's a new report out that shows that cities that held Black Lives
00:19:00.660
Matter protests, uh, saw their murder rate shot up, uh, shoot up rather in, uh, the last few years.
00:19:09.880
And that's shocking with, because I've been told by places like CNN that the BLM protests are mostly
00:19:19.640
peaceful. So it's so weird how those cities where BLM takes over, see their murder rates skyrocket
00:19:26.480
between 2014 and 2019. So not just 2020, but actually excluding 2020 from 2014 to 2019. Cause you know,
00:19:34.760
BLM has been around for a while. These places saw a 10% increase in murders. This was a preliminary
00:19:41.660
stuff from a study conducted by Travis Campbell, who's a PhD student at UMass Amherst, uh, said that
00:19:47.880
these cities with protests, red riots, uh, had quote, somewhere between 1,000 and 6,000 more homicides.
00:19:56.480
Than would have been expected if places with protests were on the same trend as places that
00:20:00.860
did not have protests. Imagine what that number is going to look like when you add 2020 into it.
00:20:06.500
Where you had the most explicit street violence that we've seen, political street violence that
00:20:11.760
we've seen in our country in a very long time. And this is, by the way, this is not just being
00:20:16.240
reported by the daily wire or a conservative outlet. This is being reported by Vox, Vox.com,
00:20:21.420
which is a left-wing outlet. If we want to address the public health threats of racial hatred and
00:20:32.580
tension, maybe we should shut down BLM. Maybe the federal government should go in and shut down that
00:20:39.260
organization like they would shoot down the mob or the Klan. I wish Bill Barr had done this when he was
00:20:45.180
attorney general during the madness of 2020. I understand he was in a difficult position.
00:20:51.040
It's very tricky when you've got the entire liberal establishment, the woke corporations,
00:20:56.140
funneling tens of millions of dollars into this organization, which was effectively the militant
00:21:01.680
wing of the Democratic Party. I get it. I get that it was really tough. But BLM was a terrorist
00:21:08.760
organization, is a terrorist organization that targets civilians with violence to achieve political
00:21:14.680
ends. That should not be permitted to operate in the United States. If there were anything even
00:21:19.880
remotely like that on the right, the people who ran it would be in prison. The FBI would be shutting
00:21:25.520
that thing down. But because it's left-wing, because the establishment, the public sector and the
00:21:32.460
private sector, all working, they all kind of look like the same sector. Because they're so powerful and
00:21:38.200
so rich, they're not being shut down. And they're really rich. They are really, really rich. There
00:21:44.980
is a great headline from the New York Post today. After news came out that the co-founder of BLM,
00:21:51.740
Patrice Cullors, has been spending millions and millions of dollars on houses, buying up beautiful
00:21:57.500
homes, the headline in the New York Post is, Black Lives Manners. Or the other one is, Buy Large Mansions.
00:22:05.040
That's the other new meaning of BLM. Patrice Cullors is a leftist activist. That is her career. That's
00:22:13.940
what she's done. She did not start some business other than BLM. I guess that is a pretty effective
00:22:20.060
corporation in America. She did not invent some cool gizmo. She didn't work in finance for a long
00:22:25.580
time. She's made all of her money on race hustling and radical Marxist activism. Her words,
00:22:34.780
not mine. She's admitted this on air. She's a trained Marxist. She then readdressed this when
00:22:43.000
that old video came to light. And she said, yeah, I like Marxist activism. Yeah, that's what we're
00:22:46.520
doing. This is the topic, by the way, of my upcoming book, Speechless, Controlling Words,
00:22:51.240
Controlling Minds, which is available now for pre-order. Thank you to everybody who has pre-ordered
00:22:55.540
it. We have some great stuff. We're going to be doing the audio book soon. You can order a first
00:23:00.500
edition autographed copy of that at Premier Collectibles. The, the topic of that book is
00:23:05.800
how we went from some obscure, brilliant, actually, left-wing theorists about a hundred years ago
00:23:12.340
up to BLM today. What that through line is, what political correctness is, what wokeism is,
00:23:16.600
what cancel culture is. So Patrice Cullors might be facing a little bit of a cancel culture on her own
00:23:21.080
because now it's come to light. She just, she just snagged four high-end homes for 3.2 million bucks
00:23:27.280
in the U.S. alone. Who knows what the other, what other purchases she's made.
00:23:34.600
Now, you're going to hear that Patrice Cullors, she made her own money in some places. She made a
00:23:38.880
little bit of money selling a BLM book. Okay, that was her kind of her own money. Where did the rest of
00:23:44.340
this money come from? I don't really know. Now you're going to hear people say, well, this is not
00:23:48.500
fair and this is awful and maybe Patrice Cullors is going to, going to be booted from BLM. Yeah, maybe,
00:23:53.440
maybe not. Something tells me though, that she just wields political power in a very clever way
00:23:58.160
and she'll be fine. It's not a big shock. Oh my gosh, you know, wow. She made a lot of money.
00:24:04.300
Of course she did. Big politics makes big money. That's the way it goes. Big money invites big
00:24:07.900
politics. And you're going to hear some conservatives say, oh, well now this, now this communist is,
00:24:13.740
is perfectly fine with capitalism now that she's rich. Yeah, it was always sort of the same thing.
00:24:19.480
It was always a power grab. What the left is doing is not coherent ideologically or otherwise. And so,
00:24:26.200
yeah, it's a big power grab, but guess what? They grabbed the power. They have the power.
00:24:30.000
This broad left-wing movement from the radical explicit communists like Patrice Cullors all the
00:24:37.680
way to the more mainstream types in the elected office who support them. They now have the power of
00:24:45.600
the parallel government, of the liberal establishment. They have more power than Ron DeSantis
00:24:49.620
in Florida. They have more power than elected Republicans. Maybe we should start amassing and
00:24:55.160
wielding political power for the good, not for the, not for the bad like they do for the good
00:25:00.940
ourselves. One way to do that, you got to get educated. One great way to get educated,

Speaking of radicals throwing around big sums of money, you've got BLM buying up beautiful mansions
00:27:33.480
in California. Wow, that's great. Big politics, big money. And you've got Joe Biden throwing money
00:27:39.700
in the other direction. The Biden administration tacitly admitting that there is a crisis on the
00:27:47.520
southern border. We've got record number of, of foreign nationals pouring over here, record number
00:27:52.680
of unaccompanied minors. I was going to say children, but a lot of them are like 16, 17-year-old
00:27:59.120
gangsters. So some are children, some are, they're minors sort of, but you know, it's a little bit
00:28:05.220
dicey. Joe Biden's big strategy to deal with this problem, he's going to give them a lot of money.
00:28:12.940
Not just the foreign nationals. Places like New York are cutting checks, $15,000 checks to,
00:28:19.500
to the illegal aliens themselves. But what Joe Biden wants to do to try to stem this tide of
00:28:24.520
illegal immigration is he wants to send a bunch of money to Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.
00:28:31.300
This, according to Roberta Jacobson, who is the White House's southern border coordinator,
00:28:36.520
she told this to Reuters. She didn't say exactly who would get the cash. She didn't say exactly how
00:28:40.500
much money, but that's the plan. Do you see how backwards this is? Two totally separate visions
00:28:49.240
for dealing with this problem and for America. You had Donald Trump, whose, whose program was,
00:28:57.180
we're going to cut off your money if you don't stop sending people, right? It was, it was about
00:29:02.920
threats. It was about reworking trade deals. It was, we're going to build the wall and Mexico's going to
00:29:07.060
pay for it. And then is Mexico going to write a check? No, not exactly, but they are going to
00:29:11.860
negotiate things on trade, on tariffs, right? So you've got the threat, you've got build the wall,
00:29:17.520
you've got, do not come here. You've got, we're going to make it really hard. If you do come here,
00:29:21.060
we're going to send you right back. Get tough is the Trump administration plan. And you've got Joe
00:29:26.320
Biden who says, come to the border, surge, come into our country. And then it's politically
00:29:30.640
disadvantageous to him. So he says, okay, well I still, yeah, come, come, but maybe not yet,
00:29:35.200
come in a week or two. And we're going to send more taxpayer money. We're already straining our
00:29:39.240
resources, but we're going to send more money to these countries. Please maybe keep your people
00:29:43.760
here. What, what do you think is going to happen? So when Trump did it, the numbers went down.
00:29:51.900
Good. When Biden is doing it, the numbers will not go down. The numbers will not go down. One,
00:29:56.700
because the base of the democratic party doesn't want them to, but two, no one has an incentive for
00:30:01.540
them to go down. The foreign nationals are going to pour over the border because they're, they've
00:30:08.160
been told to by Joe Biden for one. And two, they know that there's going to be a mass amnesty if
00:30:13.000
Democrats can, can grab enough influence. So they want to get here before the amnesty comes through.
00:30:19.640
But what about these countries, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras? Do you, do you think that
00:30:24.880
this government, which is now going to be making a ton of money because of the crisis from the United
00:30:32.340
States? Do you think that they're going to try to minimize the crisis? No, they're going to get a
00:30:39.020
lot of money. I mean, it's, and it's bad for the country because they're losing a lot of people
00:30:42.300
who could be talented. You know, young, ambitious people are now leaving those countries and going
00:30:49.420
to the United States. But it doesn't really matter that much because a lot of these governments,
00:30:53.080
Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala are not particularly strong. And the cartels have a
00:30:58.580
lot of political power there. There's a ton of corruption. So the money is going to dissipate
00:31:02.800
and then the crisis is going to persist. And then we're going to spend more money.
00:31:07.600
Doesn't, doesn't make sense. And what are we doing it for? Because we're told this is how you remedy
00:31:13.300
racism. That's kind of what it all comes down to, isn't it? Racism. Racism this and racism that.
00:31:23.080
I think most pro-immigration arguments center around that. Nevermind that we take more people
00:31:27.680
by a, by a lot, by a country mile than anywhere else in the world. Nevermind that immigration into
00:31:33.900
the United States over the last 60 years is the largest movement of people ever in the history of
00:31:38.160
the world, ever recorded. Still, we can never do enough to make up for our awful racism.
00:31:46.840
Pete Buttigieg just made this point. Pete Buttigieg, former mayor of South Bend, his father,
00:31:52.140
actually, one of the most prominent radical theorists in the academy. He was the, a founder
00:31:57.780
and a former president of the International Gramsci Society, referring to Antonio Gramsci,
00:32:02.580
this brilliant Marxist philosopher and communist politician. One of the people really credited with
00:32:09.060
creating political correctness, whom I detail in my book. Buttigieg is now the transportation secretary.
00:32:15.140
And Buttigieg says, you know, we need to really rethink the way we do roads. I'm not just here
00:32:21.700
to fill potholes, baby. Racism is built into our roads and we got to fix it.
00:32:27.420
We're going to create billions and billions of dollars in economic opportunity, and we have to
00:32:31.680
make sure that happens equitably. So let me talk about two parts of that. The first is where the
00:32:36.080
investments happen. Where are we going to fix the bridge? Where are we going to improve the road?
00:32:38.900
Where are we going to lay the pipe? And we've got to make sure we're doing that equitably,
00:32:41.960
especially knowing that it was often in black and brown communities, that there was either a failure
00:32:46.340
to invest and you didn't have a good road or transit system in a certain neighborhood,
00:32:49.820
or the investment came through in the wrong way, like a highway dividing a black neighborhood in
00:32:55.920
two. There's been a lot of that in the American. And the interstate system, the interstate system
00:33:00.080
was built to keep certain groups in and certain groups out. So it was built on a racist system,
00:33:04.740
correct? Yeah. Often this wasn't just an act of neglect. Often this was a conscious choice. There was
00:33:10.860
racism physically built into some of our highways. Those damn roads. I hate those racist roads,
00:33:17.120
white supremacist roads. Got to cancel those roads. We got to kick those roads off Twitter.
00:33:21.720
You know, we got us those top man. It's a, it's, it's one thing for, according to Democrats,
00:33:28.080
half the country to be Nazis and white supremacists, racists, you know, but the roads too,
00:33:35.140
we got to lose. All right. Got to re, got to remake the whole country then.
00:33:40.640
What is Buttigieg saying? Why is he saying it? He's saying that the highway system, he's obviously
00:33:50.880
exaggerating immensely, but I want to get, I want to give a good argument for, for the point he's
00:33:59.660
trying to make. He's saying that America is totally racist, right? The whole, the whole country is
00:34:05.680
racist. It's been racist forever until like right now when we're still racist, but we're in a crisis
00:34:09.760
and the future is not going to be racist, but racism, racism, racism. And so we got to fix that.
00:34:14.880
And you know, the roads being a part of America are part of this American racism and they were used,
00:34:19.300
they were built by racists for racists and everything is about race. And therefore we need
00:34:27.540
to do something about it. Now I'm going to grant, I'm not going to grant his point that the roads
00:34:32.280
are racist or something, but I am going to grant his broader observation about human nature.
00:34:39.660
Take race out of it. Race, just like science is the only way that we can now think about the world.
00:34:44.880
Race is the only way that we can think about sin. So if you, if you use the correct language here,
00:34:52.120
it starts to make more sense. He's saying, look, human nature is broken. People are sinful.
00:34:56.720
sinful. And the people who built the roads are sinful. And there was sinfulness built into this.
00:35:03.980
And therefore it's not perfect. And therefore there's some injustice involved. And that's why
00:35:09.460
we need to correct that injustice. Okay. That's a, that's a sort of unobjectionable point, right?
00:35:16.880
Of course, all human endeavors are, involve some sin because our free will has been compromised by sin
00:35:23.320
because Adam had to eat that damn apple, right? Really evade at first, but it's Adam, you know,
00:35:29.540
okay. I'm not, I don't want to get into the gender politics of it. Okay. We're sticking with race for
00:35:32.720
now. The problem here is Buddha judge seems to exclude himself from the sinfulness of man,
00:35:41.580
from this brokenness. The left broadly, when they say everything was racist in the past,
00:35:46.340
but now we're going to redo everything and make it better. They seem to, and you know,
00:35:50.620
they're using this term race as a stand in for sin. They're excluding themselves. They think
00:35:55.880
they're so perfect. So the reason they're going after the roads is because the roads
00:36:02.360
just connect to the whole country. They're right at the heart of the country. It's how we move. It's
00:36:06.840
how we live. So if you can remake even the roads, you can remake the whole country. It's,
00:36:13.720
it's about how ambitious this revolution is going to be. And the reason that their revolutionary
00:36:20.680
radical plans are destined to fail is because they themselves are just as sinful as the people
00:36:26.360
that they castigate. And furthermore, because they don't even recognize that they're talking
00:36:31.400
about sin. They think it's all just about race or something because of this secular religion of,
00:36:36.340
of progressivism. They can only see skin deep and they can only see the physical stuff.
00:36:40.760
They can't really make sense of the metaphysical stuff, which is really what, what is the motivation
00:36:46.140
here. This is the creed that is now being taught at American universities, that America is racist
00:36:53.740
and rotten to the core. University of Oklahoma now is mandating not just diversity and inclusion and
00:37:02.700
equity training. By the way, someone pointed out to me, diversity, inclusion, and equity,
00:37:08.560
the, the letters spelled die. Maybe that tells you something about the country. I don't know,
00:37:15.380
maybe it's just a coincidence. They are mandating not just this diversity, inclusion, and equity
00:37:21.220
training. They're also mandating that students agree with their preferred answers. So you do the
00:37:29.480
training, you take a test. What do you think about this? What's your opinion about that?
00:37:32.320
It's not just that they require you to take the test. You now have to agree with their positions and
00:37:38.320
certain first amendment activists, right? Putative first amendment activists, you might call them
00:37:44.220
free speech absolutists, which is a group. It's a sort of, I like their impulses, but I think they've
00:37:50.680
really gone wrong. And I think they've actually kind of screwed up the battle over political
00:37:53.880
correctness. It's the thesis of my book, Speechless. They're really upset about this. They say
00:37:59.160
schools have no right to mandate a viewpoint. I think that's ridiculous. And I know some really
00:38:06.580
excitable conservatives, more libertarians, but some excitable conservatives over, over recent years
00:38:11.780
have, have bought into this idea, but it's just preposterous. Of course, schools and universities
00:38:17.980
can mandate a viewpoint. Education is necessarily coercive. That's what you do. They're going to mandate
00:38:25.960
the viewpoint that two plus two equals four, right? Yeah. A good school would mandate the viewpoint that
00:38:32.100
America was founded on Christian principles first in 1620 with the Mayflower and later in 1776,
00:38:41.620
right? That's just, that's history. Schools would mandate that Shakespeare wrote a play about the
00:38:49.420
prince of Denmark, not the prince of Tibet, right? That's, that's just what the book is about. And if the
00:38:55.780
book is about one thing, it's not about some other thing. Universities, education has a mission.
00:39:02.420
It's oriented towards something. William F. Buckley Jr., the most mainstream conservative that
00:39:06.940
ever there was in the 20th century, in God and Man at Yale, his book about what's gone wrong at the
00:39:11.860
universities, explicitly rejected the argument that many conservatives now are mistakenly making.
00:39:18.760
Namely, that schools shouldn't, shouldn't have any points of view. And schools shouldn't
00:39:22.980
coerce any beliefs that we can have academic freedom. He, the subtitle of the book is The
00:39:29.220
Superstitions of Academic Freedom. He calls academic freedom a hoax and it is a hoax. And I think as,
00:39:35.460
I understand that some conservatives are making this argument that schools shouldn't have any
00:39:40.100
viewpoints or, or require any viewpoints because they think that that's the best way to protect
00:39:45.340
against the woke, insane leftist viewpoints that the schools are pushing now. But it's not because
00:39:49.600
the, the argument itself is incoherent and honest conservatives admitted this until about five
00:39:54.560
minutes ago. So it's, it's not going to work in the long run. The longer we've made that argument,
00:39:59.120
the more ground we've lost. We have to make the more difficult argument, more courageous argument,
00:40:04.680
but the much more coherent one that yes, of course, educators are going to have a point of view.
00:40:09.040
And of course, they're going to teach you things, not just how to think, but specifically what to
00:40:13.020
think, because the only way to figure out how to think is to understand what to think.
00:40:16.280
The only way you can start to think about mathematics is to understand that one plus one
00:40:19.940
equals two and two plus two equals four. And you learn a bunch of rudimentary things. And only
00:40:25.080
then do you, can you start thinking about higher calculus or analysis or whatever. You have to learn
00:40:29.860
that the battle of Hastings happened in 1066. You have to learn that the American revolution kicks
00:40:37.060
off in 1775, 1776 before you can start thinking about the broader themes of history. We need to
00:40:43.800
acknowledge that and say, yes, obviously educators can teach us things. They just shouldn't be teaching
00:40:51.860
us this rotten, woke nonsense that is anti-historical, that is deeply un-American, and that makes everyone
00:40:58.720
ignorant. That's the point. I know it requires courage. It requires a spine to make that argument,
00:41:03.900
but we got to do it. Sorry. Speaking of good mandates, I've got to get to this. This is a great,
00:41:11.360
a great new law. It's in Tennessee, my wonderful state of Tennessee. All my exes are in Texas,
00:41:17.440
so I hang my hat in Tennessee. A bill is advancing through the Tennessee state legislature that would
00:41:22.860
require abortion facilities to bury or cremate the remains of aborted fetuses. This is an example of
00:41:31.100
a good government mandate. You know, right now, Tennessee code requires that pets and animals
00:41:37.280
be disposed of by burial or cremation, but little human babies who are killed in the womb are not.
00:41:42.780
You can just, just throw them out. Or I guess Planned Parenthood can sell their body parts like
00:41:47.160
they've been caught on camera doing. So little, little puppies get better treatment than human
00:41:52.120
babies. Even if you don't buy into the argument, even if you don't understand rather that a baby is
00:41:58.080
a baby, that human life exists and grows and matures. And I'm an adult now, but I used to be a
00:42:03.420
toddler and I used to be a baby and I used to be a fetus. It's all the same thing. Surely you would
00:42:09.540
admit that whatever you want to call the little baby in the womb, he's got to be worth as much as a,
00:42:15.440
like a puppy, right? Or a cat. Don't you think? And if so, don't you think they should
00:42:21.080
be entitled to the same sort of dignity? Now, in the really shallow, ossified conservative movement
00:42:29.020
of the last couple of decades, we've been told any government mandate, any regulation is bad.
00:42:34.520
It makes us less free. This kind of government mandate makes us more free.
00:42:41.220
Certain government mandates, such as requiring abortionists to cremate or bury aborted babies,
00:42:49.000
certain mandates like that make us more free. How so? Because it, it acknowledges humanity.
00:43:01.200
The, a better government mandate would be you can't have abortions. That would make us much freer.
00:43:06.000
It would certainly make the babies freer, the babies who are being killed through abortion.
00:43:10.880
But there are, it's a little tricky to see this with the topic of abortion. So I'll give you a clearer
00:43:16.560
example about how certain mandates can make people more free and how this mistaken conception of
00:43:22.000
liberty has really messed up the conservative movement. Heroin is a very, very addictive drug.
00:43:32.960
People who get hooked on heroin will do anything they can to get more heroin.
00:43:38.940
If you make heroin illegal, some people will still use heroin, but fewer people will. I know that there
00:43:50.400
is a kind of fantasy among some anarchist types or you might say libertarian types. I don't even want
00:43:55.700
to use that word though. I think it's offensive to, to real libertarians that say, well, if you make
00:44:00.240
heroin legal, then no one will use heroin. That's just not true. That's not how it works in practice.
00:44:04.380
It's never how it's worked in practice. If you make heroin illegal, fewer people will use it.
00:44:11.740
If fewer people are using heroin, the country will be freer. Okay. According to the modern liberal
00:44:18.900
ridiculous conception of liberty, being able to shoot up heroin is the height of freedom.
00:44:24.920
The heroin addict, he's the freest man in the world, but we all know that's a lie.
00:44:28.520
We know that the heroin addict is a slave. He's a slave to his basest desires and appetites and
00:44:34.640
passions. He hasn't cultivated his will. He hasn't cultivated his intellect. He cannot use his
00:44:40.920
higher faculties. They are dead and atrophied and he is basically an animal pursuing his lusts and his
00:44:47.040
appetites. Ironically, if you make heroin legal and you say anyone can use heroin if you want to,
00:44:55.260
you are making people less free. Now we all can see this, I think, when it comes to something like
00:45:00.560
heroin, but this is true of other matters as well. A good example of this would be one of the
00:45:06.960
touchstone issues in the culture war, internet pornography. From the very beginning of our
00:45:13.060
country, before the beginning of our country, and for hundreds of years after the beginning of our
00:45:16.620
country, our statesmen understood that there is no free speech protection for obscenity.
00:45:23.560
They understood that obscenity is licentiousness and licentiousness is not the same thing as
00:45:29.920
liberty. It's actually the opposite of liberty. So they either outright banned or heavily regulated
00:45:36.600
obscene materials. You have to show an ID if you want to go buy a Playboy at the magazine stand,
00:45:42.780
if those even still exist. If either Playboy or magazine stand still exist. With the advent of the
00:45:48.720
internet, porn became ubiquitous. During the Clinton administration, there was a direct attempt
00:45:53.180
to try to regulate this stuff. It was totally bipartisan. There was the Communications Decency
00:45:58.040
Act, which is actually where we get the battle over Section 230 in big tech that comes from
00:46:02.400
a law that was in part designed to clean up obscenity on the internet. And there was another
00:46:06.400
law that came out around this time called COPA, the Child Online Protection Act. I detail all of
00:46:10.760
this in my upcoming book speechless, by the way, available now for pre-order. That law was held up
00:46:16.400
in the process. And then eventually over the last 20 years, we've, we've gotten so shallow in our
00:46:21.220
thinking in this country that we, it lost political support and it didn't really go anywhere.
00:46:28.480
You'll notice that a lot of the conservatives clamoring to get rid of porn, online porn,
00:46:34.340
are young men. The people who write into my show or I see at events who are really the hottest on this
00:46:40.460
topic are Zoomers, are teenage boys and guys in their early twenties. Well, that's weird. Don't
00:46:47.160
you? Shouldn't those be the guy, those guys are probably the ones most likely to look at porn.
00:46:50.960
Right. That's the point. It's so funny that in our culture, we always hear that young men need to
00:46:56.900
talk about their feelings. These angry young white men, especially, they need to talk about their
00:47:00.680
feelings. Well, okay. Now they are talking about their feelings. They're saying, get rid of this porn
00:47:03.300
because it's screwing up their lives. And what does the culture tell? Oh, you're a bunch of
00:47:08.000
incels. You're a bunch of, you're a bunch of losers in your basement or something.
00:47:14.220
Maybe they are. Maybe that's the problem. Maybe they're recognizing that like heroin,
00:47:19.480
there is other sort of material like porn that enslaves you to other base desires. And this is
00:47:24.900
really bad. And this does not expand your liberty like some shallow people on the right have said,
00:47:31.360
you know, over the last 20 years, but it actually constricts your liberty. Not,
00:47:36.520
not good stuff. Before we go, I have to mention, actually, this is a great point to mention this
00:47:43.800
on, this, this difference between liberty and licentiousness, this difference between
00:47:47.340
duty and entitlement. Prince Philip, got to pour one out for Prince Philip. I wish he could have
00:47:53.540
lived another 99 years. I'm not going to actually pour out my leftist tears here, but what, what an
00:47:57.360
admirable guy he was. Britain's Prince Philip, the husband to Queen Elizabeth, died. He's now,
00:48:05.640
was 99 years old. He, he lived a good life. But I think the reason that so many people are
00:48:12.140
crestfallen that this guy died is not because, you know, oh gosh, he was cut down in his prime,
00:48:16.920
flipping his vet or something. No, he had a good run. We all die eventually, despite the neurotic
00:48:21.800
hysteria of people wearing 17 masks, even though they're 30 years old and perfectly healthy.
00:48:28.800
Prince Philip epitomized an age and an attitude that is gone. He's sort of the anti-Meghan Markle.
00:48:38.140
They're, they're polar opposites in the royal family. He is the representative of what has been called
00:48:43.300
the greatest generation. And she is a representative, sadly, of millennials. I'm sorry to admit.
00:48:49.800
This was a guy who endured a lot of hardship. He was born in Corfu. His family was deposed. They had
00:48:58.160
to escape under threat of death. Much of his family was killed in Russia. He had, his mother was a
00:49:08.060
schizophrenic. He endured terrible, terrible hardship. He was schooled at a, basically a Spartan academy
00:49:14.740
where he had to take cold showers and run around barefoot. He comes into Britain. And as a man
00:49:21.140
without a state, he didn't have a state. He was a stateless person. He comes in, becomes an adopted
00:49:25.520
Brit. He didn't even have a last name because he was part of a royal family. He marries Queen Elizabeth
00:49:31.120
and his entire life is about duty and service because that is a good thing to do. And that is what
00:49:38.340
is expected of people. And that is dignified. And that actually speaks to an exalted freedom.
00:49:43.680
He did not indulge his own appetites. Really, very, very few stories, if any, of Prince Philip just
00:49:49.380
indulging himself in his own base desires. It was all about service and what ought to be done.
00:49:56.560
And he did it very admirably. And I think a lot of people fear that that generation is passing
00:50:04.320
away. Elizabeth still demonstrates that. Will we be able to demonstrate that afterward? Or are we all
00:50:11.120
going to be a bunch of hysterical little ninnies running around, fearing death, fearing everything,
00:50:17.220
fearing our own shadow, crying about what we're entitled to, crying about all the ways that we've
00:50:22.720
been slighted? Or are we going to stand up? Stop indulging that lowest aspect of our character
00:50:29.600
and walk with a bit of dignity and true freedom. Hope we can. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the
