Transcript

00:00:00.000 Joe Biden has solved the racial achievement gap. This took a long time. You know, some people
00:00:06.440 blamed this system. Some people blamed cultural differences. But Joe has finally identified the
00:00:13.000 real problem. Black people just can't get accountants. The data shows young black
00:00:19.180 entrepreneurs are just as capable of succeeding given the chance as white entrepreneurs are.
00:00:25.220 But they don't have lawyers. They don't have they don't have accountants, but they have great ideas.
00:00:32.800 Does anyone doubt this whole nation be better off from the investments those people make? And I
00:00:37.740 promise you, that's why I set up this National Small Business Administration that's much broader
00:00:43.140 because they're going to get those loans. That's it. They're great entrepreneurs. They just they
00:00:48.200 just don't have accountants. You know, they're such good entrepreneurs that they don't know how to call
00:00:52.940 up H&R Block. But they have good ideas. You know, that's what's really important in business is
00:00:58.020 having no one has any ideas. It's ideas at a buck 50. I'll get you a cup of coffee. If only it were
00:01:04.380 that easy. As Joe Biden says, the left has more dramatic plans for cultural revolution than that.
00:01:11.380 Government diversity mandates, a racial caste system and even gender nullification surgery
00:01:17.560 to make people look like Ken dolls. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:01:22.940 Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment yesterday from Kevin Beach, who says,
00:01:33.220 why does a mother or a father only get one day to celebrate their contribution to society and be
00:01:39.620 celebrated? The LGBTQ pride gets a month. Shorten that up a bit, please. No, it's more than a month.
00:01:45.560 It's two months. It's there's June, which is pride month. And there's I believe it's October is LGBT
00:01:52.260 history month. So a full sixth of the year is now dedicated to sort of unusual sexual desires.
00:02:00.780 But yeah, one day for mom, one day for dad. And I guess you have one month for for black history,
00:02:08.060 but only some black history. Right. It's not not all sorts. It's not Thomas soul month. OK,
00:02:13.420 it's not Clarence Thomas month. Then there's another month for women's history. It's the liturgical
00:02:17.600 calendar is very, very full in liberalism. It's very, very crazy. Makes one want to just run away. And if you
00:02:25.220 wanted to get away, need some some great shoes on your feet, I would recommend Allbirds. A curious
00:02:30.920 spirit and deep appreciation for nature is the very core of Allbirds. Started with co-founder Tim
00:02:37.640 Brown wondering why sustainable merino wool was not more widely used for its remarkable qualities. I
00:02:43.300 love merino wool. Tim teamed up with engineer and renewables expert Joey Zwilinga to create their
00:02:49.400 first groundbreaking shoe, the Wool Runner. Today, they lead the industry in crafting quality footwear
00:02:55.120 and apparel with natural materials and finding more sustainable ways to operate. The tree runners
00:03:00.220 are breathable. They're machine washable. They're made with responsibly sourced eucalyptus tree fiber.
00:03:06.040 Simple and versatile design makes the tree runner a perfect go-to shoe for any outfit. Packaging made
00:03:11.120 from 90% recycled cardboard. That's a shoe box, shopping bag and mailer all in one. Allbirds has been
00:03:18.200 dedicated to reducing environmental impact since day one. From operations to production, they treat the
00:03:22.500 planet like a key stakeholder in the company. Really great stuff. You know, we like to conserve
00:03:27.640 things. We like beautiful nature. We like to be around this lovely earth and we like to look good
00:03:31.880 doing it. This spring, keep things light and breezy with the Allbirds tree runner. Discover your perfect
00:03:35.580 fair at Allbirds.com. That's A-L-L-B-I-R-D-S dot com. Some conservatives are making the argument because of
00:03:42.340 Joe Biden's stupid comments that he is a racist. I guess in a way he is, but they're making the argument,
00:03:48.600 not that he's just a racist generally, but that he's a white supremacist. Because he's made these
00:03:54.700 comments about black people. He said that, you know, Barack Obama's the first clean, articulate
00:03:59.980 black man in American politics or something to that effect. That was a bit offensive. He said that
00:04:05.160 poor kids are just as talented as white kids. That was a bit offensive. And now he said that black
00:04:09.880 entrepreneurs can't succeed because they don't know how to call H&R Block. But I don't think he's a
00:04:16.460 white supremacist. I think this argument of, you know, Democrats are the real white supremacists,
00:04:20.880 I think that's kind of silly. I think it's a bit of a coping mechanism. I don't think that
00:04:26.020 Republicans or conservatives are racist. I mean, frankly, I don't even know what that word means
00:04:29.820 anymore. It's been so watered down to mean nothing. But I don't think conservatives or
00:04:33.880 Republicans hold any particular racial animosity at all. I don't think they think about race very much
00:04:38.820 whatsoever. And I say this with some authority being a conservative Republican myself. And it
00:04:43.540 certainly is the case that Democrats and leftists do think about race a lot, but they're not white
00:04:48.940 supremacists. I just think that that's a silly statement to make. They are advancing a racial
00:04:54.540 caste system, but they want it to disadvantage whites. And they want it to give, they want to
00:04:59.260 give advantage, just like affirmative action, give advantages to certain groups like black people
00:05:03.080 and Hispanics and disadvantage other groups like white people and Asians. That is what they're
00:05:07.600 calling for. And, and any, any way to twist that, I think is just a way to buy into the premise that
00:05:13.860 the only evil in the entire world is anti-black racism. That's very bad. There are other bad things
00:05:19.540 too. Joe Biden was pretty clear about this the other day. He came out and he said that the single
00:05:26.080 greatest threat today in America is, is what would you say it's COVID maybe? No. Would you say that it's
00:05:35.040 the lockdowns? No. Would you say it's depression? No. Would you say it's drugs? No. Would you say
00:05:38.560 it's violence in the streets from people like BLM and Antifa? No. You know what it is?
00:05:43.740 White supremacy. According to the intelligence community,
00:05:48.080 terrorism from white supremacy is the most lethal threat to the homeland today. Not ISIS,
00:05:55.460 not Al Qaeda, white supremacists. So that's just preposterous, right? I mean,
00:06:01.380 I guess the single greatest threat is heart disease followed by what? Followed by various
00:06:06.260 other ailments. And then if we're talking about violence in the streets, it's not,
00:06:09.940 it's not from white supremacists. Okay. There just, there isn't a whole lot of that. This
00:06:14.100 statement doesn't even hold up if you only look at race crimes or rather, if you only look at hate
00:06:18.820 crimes, which have a racial component very often. When you look at hate crime statistics and you look
00:06:24.120 at white perpetrators and black perpetrators, you find out that black people are far more likely to
00:06:29.080 commit hate crimes than white people are. I'm sure there are many reasons for this and one could
00:06:34.940 discuss all of it. I'm not making any claim about what the reasons are, but I'm just saying,
00:06:38.780 if you believe that white supremacy is the greatest threat, that isn't even true when you're looking at
00:06:43.820 hate crimes. Hate crimes are kind of silly category because I guess it's the opposite of a love crime.
00:06:49.180 Aren't too many love crimes as far as I can tell. We are now living in a system that is upholding
00:06:54.920 and advancing a new sort of racial caste, breaking out of the colorblind society that everyone had
00:07:02.840 been striving to create for a long time. There's now a racial caste system and white people are
00:07:07.920 considered to be the sort of embodiment of evil in this system, the single greatest threat to the
00:07:13.220 country. There are different standards here when you're looking at how to punish crime depending on
00:07:17.980 ideology and specifically on racial politics. Greatest example of this, January 6th. You know
00:07:25.720 January. What happened on January 6th? The worst, most dangerous insurrection, coup d'etat, or it was a
00:07:35.980 guy with horns dancing on a desk in the Capitol, or it was a bunch of people stealing Nancy Pelosi's
00:07:43.060 lectern. I'm not excusing this. It's not a good thing to do. But it's not the storming of the
00:07:48.080 bastide. It's not the worst insurrection in American history. It's not even the worst insurrection
00:07:53.520 in the year leading up to January 6th. In the year leading up to January 6th, you had BLM burning down
00:08:00.020 the country. You had Antifa burning down the country. And you had a guy in horns dancing on Pelosi's desk.
00:08:06.720 Both bad, but bad to different degrees. And yet, the BLM people basically get off the hook.
00:08:12.040 The Antifa people basically get off the hook. And the guy in the horns, oh man, they're going to
00:08:17.200 throw the book at him. Right now, very, very high level prosecutors, prosecutors who work on homicide,
00:08:24.260 prosecutors who work on terrorism, are being brought in to try the Capitol Hill rioters for
00:08:31.980 trespassing. Basically, just for trespassing. Maybe the theft of taking Nancy Pelosi's lectern.
00:08:40.420 Initially, we were told in the newspapers that these rioters had killed police officers. That's
00:08:44.440 not true. Even the left-wing newspapers admit that now. So you're going to have the toughest,
00:08:51.320 highest level prosecutors in the country, federal prosecutors, brought in to try trespassing.
00:08:56.480 What about the BLM people who trespassed? What about the Antifa people who trespassed? That doesn't
00:09:02.860 matter. That's fine. There's a different standard there because of different political ideologies and
00:09:07.860 because of racial politics. What about that? There's some good news on this front, which is that
00:09:15.460 the GOP was debating whether or not to form a January 6th commission. This was going to be
00:09:23.460 a commission set up by the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives akin to the 9-11
00:09:30.260 commission because January 6th was just like September 11th. And there were a number of squish
00:09:36.580 Republicans who were going to go along with this, Mitt Romney and those sorts of types.
00:09:40.760 Thankfully, though, the January 6th commission failed. And we had a feeling this would fail
00:09:46.060 because cocaine Mitch McConnell said a couple of weeks ago, he said, I've decided we're not going
00:09:50.860 to do this. Say hello to my little friend. And so you didn't have to worry about it. The reason it
00:09:57.180 failed, though, is not because they couldn't muster a majority in the Senate. The reason is because of
00:10:02.680 the filibuster. There's a higher threshold because of the filibuster. And the Democrats have not nuked
00:10:10.360 the filibuster yet, so there will be no January 6th commission. If you don't get that January 6th was
00:10:18.920 not the same thing as September 11th, you're not on our side. If you believe that January 6th was like
00:10:28.060 9-11, I'm not saying you've got to approve of January 6th. I don't know anyone who really does.
00:10:34.360 But if you don't realize that it's different than 9-11, you're not a conservative. You shouldn't
00:10:39.920 be lumped in with conservatives. If you think that January 6th was worse than the BLM riots,
00:10:46.260 I don't think you're really a conservative. Now, some people get this. Some people don't,
00:10:52.800 but some people do. Yesterday on the show, we played that speech by Paul Ryan over the weekend,
00:10:58.520 or Paul Ryan, former Speaker of the House, representative, I guess now, of the sort of
00:11:02.320 economics-only moderate wing of the Republican Party. And he just doesn't seem to know what
00:11:09.160 time it is. He said, we need to focus only on economics, basically, and not at all on culture.
00:11:15.520 There's another Republican leader in this country who recognizes the exact opposite is true.
00:11:20.420 That man, you can probably guess his name, Florida governor, Ron DeSantis.
00:11:25.220 Some of these battles with what the left is doing and wokeism, it's effectively cultural Marxism. And
00:11:31.520 so you can have, theoretically, a successful economy, but if the underpinnings of the culture
00:11:39.060 are just being torn apart, I don't think that that's a society that's going to be very successful
00:11:44.840 over the long term.
00:11:45.780 Bingo, baby. He's said a lot of words here that you're not allowed to say, notably cultural Marxism,
00:11:52.120 which is just another term. It's a problematic term because people use it to mean different
00:11:56.700 things. But what he's referring to is a very real phenomenon. There were people in the Marxist
00:12:00.580 tradition, Marxist philosophers, who recognized that Marx failed because he viewed man as fundamentally
00:12:05.860 economic and material rather than cultural. And so they applied Marx's ideas to culture.
00:12:11.800 However, this was done through people like Antonio Gramsci. This was done through the
00:12:15.960 Frankfurt School. This reared its ugly head again in the new left, and it gave us political
00:12:19.440 correctness, which I described at length in my upcoming book, Speechless Controlling Words,
00:12:23.860 Controlling Minds, available now for pre-order and available for a signed first edition copy
00:12:27.920 of Premier Collectibles. Ron DeSantis has some real guts here to even say that phrase because
00:12:33.400 if you go on Wikipedia in the past few years, cultural Marxism, a very well-known intellectual
00:12:38.960 movement, has now been called an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory. Conspiracy, I don't know
00:12:44.780 how it's a conspiracy theory at all because there are many Marxist writers who describe
00:12:49.660 themselves as cultural figures. But I don't know how it's anti-Semitic either because the
00:12:54.340 most prominent one of them was an Italian guy, not a Jew. Never mind, they don't really care
00:12:58.320 when they're trying to censor people. Ron DeSantis calls it out. He says, yeah, it's good to have tax
00:13:02.300 cuts. It's good to have regulatory reform. But if you lose the whole culture, none of that's
00:13:06.500 going to matter. This is the exact point we were making on the show yesterday. This guy
00:13:10.660 knows what time it is. If you've got a future, the GOP is either going to go in the Paul Ryan
00:13:15.840 direction or the Ron DeSantis direction. The only way we're going to stick around is if
00:13:21.480 we go in the Ron DeSantis direction. Now put it in the Senate. Is the GOP going to go in
00:13:25.000 the Mitt Romney direction? Is it going to go in the Ted Cruz direction? If it goes in the
00:13:27.980 Romney direction, we're not going anywhere. If it goes in the Cruz direction or the Hawley
00:13:31.600 direction or any of the conservatives, you're going to be going in the right place. When you
00:13:36.780 want to go to the right place to get auto parts, by the way, you should check out Rock Auto.
00:13:40.660 RockAuto.com is so much easier than walking into a store and someone demanding quick answers to
00:13:45.220 things such as, hey, Michael, is your Honda a GT7 or a QX3? I don't know, man. It's gray.
00:13:55.400 Does that give you an answer? No, they don't know. But then you figure it out. They go into the back.
00:13:58.480 They don't have the part. They never have the part. They go online, probably to RockAuto.com.
00:14:02.040 They charge you twice as much. That seems like a big waste of time and a waste of money. When you
00:14:05.940 could go to RockAuto.com, a family company always has reliably low prices. They don't change their
00:14:11.920 prices every single day based on a bunch of gimmicks. The catalog is so simple and easy to
00:14:17.020 navigate. Even I can do it. And they've got the same prices for pros such as myself and do-it-yourselfers
00:14:23.100 such as you. So head on over to RockAuto.com. You can quickly check out all the parts for your
00:14:29.600 car or truck that you want today. That's RockAuto.com. And then write Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S
00:14:35.720 in their How Did You Hear About Us box so they know that we sent you.
00:14:39.380 So Ron DeSantis totally knows what time it is on the culture. He gets that tax cuts and regulatory
00:14:45.740 reform are worth approximately nothing if we lose our national identity, if we lose
00:14:53.100 our culture, if we lose our traditional American way of life. DeSantis is not just speaking pie
00:14:59.580 in the sky in abstractions. DeSantis is putting this into action. He just signed a bill banning
00:15:07.440 dudes from playing in women's sports. Now, the way this is being reported, this according to WFLA,
00:15:13.840 quote, breaking on the first day of Pride Month, Ron DeSantis signs bill banning transgender females
00:15:23.000 from girls in women's sports. Oh man, that sounds bad, doesn't it? That headline, that really doesn't
00:15:28.920 sound good. But then I thought, okay, let me translate that line from wokest into English.
00:15:37.700 Let's do, let's, and so the translation would be on the first day of Pride Month, scratch that out,
00:15:40.920 on the first day of June, Governor Ron DeSantis signs bill banning transgender female, what is,
00:15:47.100 oh, that's a man. Governor Ron DeSantis signs a bill banning men from girls in women's sports.
00:15:54.040 Oh, that, that makes perfect sense. That, that shouldn't even be a news story. Why is it news
00:16:00.220 that the, I guess it's, the news story is that the governor had to sign a bill to ban men from women's
00:16:05.620 sports? Because it should be common sense, but the common sense ain't that common anymore.
00:16:11.640 Now, this was a pretty courageous move here. You know, other governors around the country have
00:16:17.840 balked at this sort of thing. Christy Noem came under a lot of fire for this. Christy Noem,
00:16:22.760 good governor. She's done a lot of good things in the past year, but she, she whiffed it. She kind
00:16:28.120 of blew it on the issue of transgender sports because she signed a bill that would keep men out of the
00:16:33.440 girls' locker room for K through 12, but she, or she was willing to sign that bill, but she wouldn't
00:16:40.000 go all the way. She wouldn't sign it because she didn't want to exclude men from women's sports at
00:16:46.200 the collegiate level. And the defenders of Governor Noem's decision said, look, it's impossible. The
00:16:51.780 NCAA, they were threatening to pull events out of the state and she was afraid it wouldn't hold up.
00:16:56.560 There was too much pressure and okay, well, that's too bad. It's too bad when our leaders
00:17:02.660 cave under that sort of pressure. Ron DeSantis, not so much.
00:17:06.960 You can't be cowed by these organizations or particularly by woke corporations from doing
00:17:14.240 the right thing. And so my view was throughout this whole time, we have to protect our girls.
00:17:20.200 It is discriminatory to force them to compete against biological males. And so if the price of
00:17:26.160 having a tournament is that I have to deny equal opportunity to hundreds of thousands of young
00:17:33.600 girl and women athletes throughout Florida, I am much more willing to stand with the girls
00:17:39.380 and to hell with these events. What I think we've shown, not just with this, but we did a strong
00:17:44.680 election integrity bill in Florida, actually stronger than Georgia. And we just made it clear,
00:17:49.560 we're standing with our folks. We're going to do the right thing. And so if corporations want to come
00:17:55.460 in and try to bully us around, they are going to go nowhere. It's going to be like hitting their
00:17:59.360 head against a brick wall. The result has been, we've had very little to do with that elections
00:18:04.620 bill. And I don't think we're going to have very much to do at this point here because we leaned
00:18:09.440 into it and we stood strong. To hell with those events. If the cost of those events is, now what
00:18:17.420 Ron DeSantis is saying is if the cost of those events is denying opportunity to women and girls,
00:18:21.800 then to hell with those events. Okay. A perfectly fine reason. But frankly, I don't really think
00:18:27.160 this is about women's sports. I think this is about reality at the broader level. If the cost of those
00:18:34.040 events, if the cost of corporate money is that we need to deny reality and live in lies and propagate
00:18:43.060 lies and conduct our society in delusion to hell with those corporations. I don't, we don't need to do
00:18:51.360 that. It's not worth it. The price is too high. So we're all duking it out now over the female sports
00:18:57.380 thing, but it's, it's about so, so much more than that. And DeSantis understands this. How many
00:19:05.800 politicians in the country understand this sort of thing? Not very many, not very many realize that
00:19:11.520 you've got to lean in on the cultural issues. And the ones who do, by the way, are absolutely
00:19:17.200 castigated by everyone else in their party. The people I'm thinking of are guys like DeSantis,
00:19:22.280 guys like Cruz, guys like, I suppose, Hawley. He's, he's persona non grata now. And some other,
00:19:28.540 other politicians as well. This is the right answer. Wokeism is purely destructive. Okay.
00:19:37.600 It is, this is the thesis of my upcoming book, Speechless Controlling Words, Controlling Minds,
00:19:42.000 available now for pre-order. It's purely destructive. It seeks to destroy the old standards. It will not
00:19:49.040 allow there to be women's sports. It will not allow there to be a women's bathroom. It will not allow
00:19:52.880 there to be a sexual difference at all. Ultimately, it will not even acknowledge sex. And this, this has
00:19:58.780 come out in the creepiest news story I have seen since yesterday. There were a lot of creepy news
00:20:04.960 stories yesterday. And somehow there is another one today. Gender nullification. Have you heard
00:20:13.640 about this? Gender nullification surgery. So that you've got this broad woke ideology that is based,
00:20:21.240 they say it's about redefining and expanding and inclusion and diversity, but we know that it's
00:20:25.560 not. When you, when you redefine marriage to take away the essence of marriage, you don't expand it.
00:20:30.240 You don't make it more inclusive. You just destroy it. And now you've just, you've got,
00:20:33.280 you've taken one institution off the table, which the left has been after for a hundred years and
00:20:37.560 which BLM is still honest about, right? They say they want to destroy the Western prescribed nuclear
00:20:41.240 family. When you take away the difference between men and women, it's not that you're expanding
00:20:48.100 genders, right? You know, to the 150 genders that they pretend that there are. You're just destroying
00:20:52.860 sex. You're destroying gender. And one group of surgeons is admitting this. There is a new
00:21:00.120 surgery being performed by the Align Surgical Associates based in San Francisco. I know you're
00:21:06.100 going to be shocked to hear that, uh, to nullify sex. Quote, nullification creates a relatively
00:21:13.140 continuous and mostly unbroken transition from the abdomen down to the genital area, enabling gender
00:21:20.260 non-conforming patients to enjoy a body that looks closer on the outside to the way they feel on the
00:21:27.460 inside. So it turns you into a Ken doll or a Barbie doll, you know, where your pelvis is just
00:21:35.260 completely flat. It just not only mutilates your genitals to look different than they currently
00:21:41.280 look, it just tries to erase them entirely. And this is in the name of health. If I walked into a
00:21:50.560 doctor's office today and I said, you know, I feel as though I only have one arm and I say,
00:21:57.520 well, Michael, you manifestly have two arms. I say, I know that you're saying that, but that's very
00:22:03.320 hurtful to me because I identify as someone with one arm. And even if physically, even if by an accident
00:22:09.640 of birth, I was, I was assigned two arms at birth. I know that deep down in my true self, I'm a one-armed
00:22:17.320 man. So I need you to perform a surgery and cut off my arm to make me feel on the outside more like
00:22:23.740 I feel on the inside. I would, at least today, I would be committed to a mental institution for
00:22:29.960 saying that because that is crazy talk. You can't, no doctor today, as far as I know, would perform
00:22:36.420 that surgery. That would violate the Hippocratic Oath. Doctors are supposed to, at first, at least,
00:22:42.820 do no harm. Then they'll try to help you. When you mutilate perfectly functioning organs,
00:22:48.460 you are harming people. However, if I go in and instead of saying, hey, doctor, I want you to cut
00:22:54.000 my arm off. If I said, hey, I want you to cut off a far more sensitive part. Many, many doctors in the
00:22:59.300 country would do this. They would, they would mutilate me if I asked them to. And in some cases,
00:23:05.400 they would encourage me to do that because of kooky, cultish theories about sex and gender.
00:23:12.820 I think this sort of surgery underscores a point that conservatives have not wanted to accept for
00:23:20.940 a long time, but increasingly we are. We have to say no to certain things. We should not allow that
00:23:27.700 to happen. We should use big government and regulations to stop private citizens and private
00:23:34.800 businesses like doctor's offices from doing that. It's not enough to say, hey, if you want to chop off
00:23:40.200 your organs and your limbs, that's fine. Just don't make me pay for it. No, it's not fine. It's
00:23:45.560 actually wrong. It's evil. It's unjust. You shouldn't do it. It's not compassionate to the
00:23:50.080 people who are very confused to want this done. It's not good for society. It's contrary to the
00:23:55.580 practice of medicine. It's contrary to justice and truth and goodness and beauty and the American way.
00:24:00.860 Don't do it. You have to be comfortable banning things. If you want to preserve freedom,
00:24:08.320 you need to say no to licentiousness. If you want to preserve free speech, you have to say no. You
00:24:13.540 have to censor speech that undermines free speech. This wouldn't have been a controversial thesis
00:24:20.560 even 50 years ago. This is apparently a controversial thesis today and one that I advance in my upcoming
00:24:26.600 book, Speechless Controlling Minds, available now for pre-order. It's a great book to read, by the
00:24:30.160 way, while you are sort of sitting out, relaxing, trying to bring together all of the craziness of
00:24:36.900 this world, trying to focus, and while you're smoking a very good cigar. When you do want a good cigar,
00:24:41.640 I would strongly recommend Thompson Cigars. I just had one of the most delicious cigars. I had some
00:24:47.500 friends over for dinner on Sunday night, and after dinner, what's going to happen? You're going to
00:24:52.040 break out the cigars. What cigars do I break out? The Noel Sampler Pack from Thompson. I just bought
00:24:56.220 two of them. Again, I love, I was kind of hoping I'd get free sampler packs. It doesn't matter. The
00:25:00.680 price is so good. I'm willing to pay for it all day long. It's less than $40. You get five top-rated
00:25:06.660 cigars. You get the Davidoff Nicaragua, Ipicarriola, Astoria. You get the Oliva Series 0, one of my
00:25:12.760 favorites. You get the Nat Sherman Timeless. You get the one that I smoked on Sunday night, which was the
00:25:18.640 Armada Man of War. It's one of my favorite cigars out there. Just that cigar alone can cost 50 bucks
00:25:23.100 retail. You can get the whole thing, all five cigars for less than 40. I don't need to tell
00:25:27.780 you how much I love Thompson. I've been a customer of theirs for 15 years now, at least. Head on over.
00:25:33.360 You'll get 15% off orders over 75 bucks or 20% off orders over 99 bucks. So just order a bunch of the
00:25:39.020 samplers as long as they have them in stock. If you want to get that sampler, you've got to go to
00:25:43.100 thompsoncigar.com slash Knowles, K-N-A-W-L-E-S. That is thompsoncigar.com slash Knowles. T-H-O-M-P-S-O-N
00:25:49.780 cigar.com slash Knowles. You know, Ben is going to be talking about one of our favorite villains in
00:25:57.300 the world today, Dr. Anthony Fauci. You sheep, you dumb mask wearing sheep. Go check that out.
00:26:08.260 Also, be sure to check out Ben's new book, The Authoritarian Moment, which is available now for
00:26:12.100 pre-order at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or any other major bookseller. I really love this title
00:26:17.420 because I'm going to steal it to be my campaign slogan when I'm running next time. It'll be Knowles
00:26:22.680 2028, The Authoritarian Moment. Go check that out today. We'll be right back with a lot more.
00:26:26.760 Not to harp too much on the creepy gender nullification surgery, but these sickos at
00:26:45.320 the Align Surgical Associates, the San Francisco doctors group that's turning humans into Ken
00:26:50.400 dolls, they perform other surgeries too. They'll perform surgeries where they will,
00:26:56.000 you know, if you're a woman, you go in where they will sort of construct an organ that looks
00:27:00.820 like a phallus, but they'll keep your actual genitals there too. So you'll just be a, you'll
00:27:08.780 look more like a hermaphrodite and they'll do the same thing for men. This is not, this is not the
00:27:14.620 purpose of medicine. The purpose of medicine is to take things that are not functioning and make them
00:27:22.540 function appropriately or to make them function better. If your kidneys aren't working well,
00:27:28.580 then they're going to have some interventions, put you on dialysis and make your kidneys function a
00:27:32.040 little bit better. If your eyes aren't functioning very well, you can't really see, they're going to
00:27:35.920 work on your eyes and they're going to make you see a little bit better. This presumes that things
00:27:40.420 have a purpose and that your body parts have a purpose, but we deny that now in our culture. We deny
00:27:45.760 that our body parts have any purpose. We deny purpose entirely or the technical term telos.
00:27:52.020 And so because we deny that, things get a little kooky where you say, well, anything can be or do
00:27:57.520 any other thing. And now the purpose of medicine has transformed from fixing things and making them
00:28:01.920 do what they're supposed to do, pursuing justice to fantasy, to creating fantasies and turning people
00:28:08.920 into all sorts of things that they are not and that they really ought not to be.
00:28:13.340 Now, this is all done in the name of compassion and in the name of pride. It's very prideful.
00:28:19.380 It's very prideful to say that we can recreate the world according to our own fancies and that we
00:28:25.780 have the right to do that and that we ought to do that and that the world will be much better,
00:28:29.960 not according to nature and pursuing justice, but according to our own fantasies and our own
00:28:36.340 basis desires. The pride issue is so much bigger than sex. Everyone wants to make it just about
00:28:43.340 the gays or just about that now, I guess, including transgender or whatever. It's about so much
00:28:49.700 more than that. It's about a leftist political program to transform all of reality, the idea
00:28:57.700 that we can redefine reality by redefining words. A thesis I advanced in my upcoming book, Speechless
00:29:02.720 Controlling Rights, Controlling Lives, available now for pre-order. It's what Whitaker Chambers said
00:29:07.180 is the second oldest ideology in the world that began in the Garden of Eden when the serpent told
00:29:12.640 Eve, ye shall be as gods. That's what this is about. That's what constructing someone's body to
00:29:19.200 look like something that they never were is about. We're advancing this ideology around the world.
00:29:25.160 The U.S. Embassy at the Holy See, at the Vatican, is flying a pride flag for pride month.
00:29:31.880 Now, it's a little bit offensive, you see, because the Catholic Church, it has a different view of
00:29:39.780 sex than the pride view of sex. And the Vatican, you know, the Holy See, is an independent country,
00:29:46.680 and they've invited us to have an embassy there. And we are now foisting our sort of radical sexual
00:29:51.960 views on the Vatican. We would not be doing this in the places like Saudi Arabia. We would not be doing
00:29:59.060 this in the Middle East. I don't think, if you took a survey of Middle Eastern Arab state embassies
00:30:06.200 right now, I don't think you'd find all that many pride flags, okay? But you will find them
00:30:11.120 poking the eye of the Catholic Church, because they know that the Catholic Church is not going to do
00:30:18.320 anything, and they know that some of the Arab states will riot and try to kill them. That's what
00:30:23.180 it's about, right? And because the problem that the American left has is not with the Arab states.
00:30:27.840 They don't have the problem with Islam. They're not advancing any particularly positive vision.
00:30:31.900 They're just trying to tear down Western civilization itself. They're trying to nullify it.
00:30:35.720 They're trying to abolish it. And the Catholic Church is the representative institution of the
00:30:40.760 civilization, because it built the civilization. And it just won't go away. They keep trying to
00:30:46.520 destroy it. They've been trying to destroy it for hundreds and hundreds of years now, and it just
00:30:50.120 won't go away. One evidence, by the way, of its divine institution. Hilaire Belloc made this point.
00:30:56.080 He said, look, I'm required, it's a matter of my faith, to believe that the church is divinely
00:31:00.380 inspired. But for those of you who are non-believers, one piece of evidence for its divine institution
00:31:06.020 is that any other organization conducted with such knavish imbecility would not have lasted a
00:31:11.280 fortnight. Despite all the scandals, despite all of the sometimes outright idiotic governance of the
00:31:19.280 church, from some of its leaders, the church endures. And the United States seems a little upset
00:31:25.840 about that. This is, I think, more evidence of a point I made on the show yesterday, that the reason
00:31:33.480 that the left is rallying around the pride flag or the BLM flag right now, as opposed to the American
00:31:38.860 flag, where they protest the American flag, but they put the pride flag up everywhere, is because the
00:31:44.260 pride flag is a symbol of liberal imperialism. The American flag is still a symbol of the American
00:31:49.860 nation. The pride flag and the BLM flag, for that matter, are symbols of liberal empire. This idea
00:31:56.200 of a sort of universal secularism that is not limited to one nation with borders, but it's not
00:32:02.940 bounded at all. It actually should apply to every nation on the face of the earth, including and
00:32:08.980 especially the Catholic church. And I think that's the divide between, say, the nationalist and the
00:32:14.340 globalist, right? This was the dichotomy that Trump showed us in 2016. The people who support the
00:32:20.160 American nation wave the American flag. The people who want to get rid of our American borders and
00:32:25.460 support global liberal empire. Ironic, they say they're anti-colonial, but they're actually the
00:32:29.460 most imperialist people in the world. They wave the rainbow flag and they wave the BLM flag. Now,
00:32:34.980 there are some problems within the Catholic church as well, as you may have heard. But I think a lot
00:32:41.140 of them are disingenuous. People who are defending the pride flag at the Vatican right now, they're
00:32:47.060 saying, well, look, how dare the Catholic church raise a problem about this? The Catholic church
00:32:52.740 has scandals where the priests have molested little boys. That's true. That's true. There have
00:32:59.360 been those scandals. There have been priests who have abused children. Very terrible, horrible,
00:33:06.560 like basically the worst thing you can imagine. You think it's only the Catholic church that has done
00:33:12.360 that? Because I don't think it is. When you look at surveys on this issue, the Catholic church is no
00:33:19.700 more likely to do these things than other religious groups. But moreover, Catholic priests
00:33:25.920 are significantly less likely to have abused children than public school teachers.
00:33:35.300 The rate of abuse, by the way, it's not as though the abuse is really ongoing, certainly not in
00:33:40.460 anywhere to the degree that it was. The abuse came after the tumult of the 1960s at more broadly,
00:33:47.260 you know, the craziness, the sexual revolution across the broader culture and Vatican II, the second
00:33:51.900 Vatican Council, which really created an upheaval in the church. The sexual abuse peaked during the
00:33:57.200 1970s and 80s, and it dropped off precipitously after that. And the rate of abuse, including at the
00:34:03.300 height, has been estimated to be about 4%. Insanely high, and it's hard to get good numbers on this, but
00:34:11.040 the estimate is about 4%. This has obviously been investigated quite a lot. The rate of sexual abuse
00:34:16.140 among public school teachers, 5% to 7%. So, yes, it's very important to fix all these problems,
00:34:24.280 but I don't want to hear it. There's a double standard that's being pushed,
00:34:27.780 and I don't want to hear that the Catholic priests are uniquely guilty here when the Catholic priests
00:34:36.160 are attacked because they're representatives of the Catholic church. The public school teachers are
00:34:41.120 representatives of the secular progressive state, and they abuse children at a far greater rate.
00:34:45.540 So, if we're going to talk about the issue, let's bring out all of the facts. Now, there has been
00:34:50.440 an infiltration within the Catholic church. There's no question about that. There is a famous
00:34:54.220 heretical priest. I don't know how else to put it. I want to be as respectful as I can, but that is as
00:35:00.660 polite a way as I can put it. This heretical priest, Father James Martin, who is a big advocate,
00:35:06.400 often implicitly, but sometimes he verges on the explicit, of redefining marriage within the faith
00:35:13.380 to take away sexual difference, something that is impossible. You actually can't do it,
00:35:18.480 but he has suggested that we ought to. And so, Father Martin tweeted out, quote,
00:35:23.680 Mr. and Mrs. Boris Johnson, this is the thrice-married British prime minister,
00:35:27.600 were married within the rules of the Catholic church, and I wish them well. I also wish that
00:35:32.160 the very same mercy and compassion that was offered to them recognizing their complex lives could
00:35:36.860 also be extended to same-sex couples who are lifelong Catholics. Okay. He's saying that because Boris Johnson
00:35:45.840 has been married multiple times and there were certain dispensations and things given,
00:35:50.160 that's evidence that we need to redefine marriage to take away sexual difference,
00:35:55.020 which is at the essence of marriage. The left always seems to do this. They always seem to say
00:36:00.520 that if there is any slight imperfection, any slight hypocrisy within the tradition,
00:36:07.720 that means we should not fix the people who are, and the institutions and the traditions that are,
00:36:15.820 you know, opposing that and bring everybody more into compliance with the objective order,
00:36:22.640 but that we should get rid of all those traditions entirely. We should deny that traditional order entirely,
00:36:27.880 right? So if Boris Johnson is thrice married, that's not an argument for making it harder to
00:36:35.740 get divorced. That's taken as an argument to abolish marriage. Well, why can't we just toughen things
00:36:40.640 up a little bit? I think in part, this is because conservatives have been unwilling to say no.
00:36:47.980 We have won for the past, I don't know, 30 years or so, maybe even a little bit longer than that.
00:36:53.960 Conservatives have wanted to be the nice guy party of saying, no, do whatever you want.
00:36:59.440 We're pro-freedom. Oh, yeah, you should totally shoot up heroin and look at porn all the time.
00:37:03.980 That's awesome. Yeah, that's great. Just don't make me pay for it. Just don't, hey, yeah, no,
00:37:08.600 it's totally cool. You can have like throuples and do a bunch of drugs and stuff and like, you know,
00:37:15.540 but, and kick the Bible out of schools and kick prayer out of schools and bring in drag queen story
00:37:19.440 hour. That's awesome. That's a blessing of liberty. Just don't make me pay for it, huh?
00:37:23.260 You know, and you just think that's not, there's nothing conservative about that. It's not,
00:37:27.640 it's not coherent. And, and I don't even think there's a constituency for it.
00:37:32.480 When you, when you talk to young conservatives, what they want is to be taken seriously.
00:37:38.680 They want a, a, a orderly political system and they want rules. Okay. And they don't, it's,
00:37:48.000 it's really just the kind of boomer con types. The, the older conservatives of an older generation
00:37:52.900 who just say, yeah, do whatever you want. The true definition of liberty is licentiousness. And I
00:37:56.840 think that that's passing out of fashion right now. And you're, you're seeing it throughout the
00:38:01.260 conservative movement. And yet the, the boomer con types will, will decry this sort of thing as
00:38:08.540 on a fascistic authoritarian, this, that, and the other thing. A good example is Viktor Orban.
00:38:13.660 Viktor Orban is the excellent leader of Hungary. He's done an excellent, excellent job as the leader
00:38:18.980 of Hungary. One of the few examples of a good politician in the, in the broader West. And he is
00:38:27.220 regularly called a fascist and a Nazi and authoritarian and this, that, and the other
00:38:31.520 thing. And a BBC journalist recently challenged him and said, you do not have freedom of the press
00:38:36.640 in Hungary. And Orban laughs at him. He responds by laughing. He says, you, you're going to lecture
00:38:43.060 me, you here in the Anglosphere, are you going to lecture me about freedom of the press?
00:38:47.740 But there are many people who are worried about it. They, they fear the stakes of tomorrow.
00:38:51.420 The leftist activists, the leftist activists, of course, they criticize us, but that's,
00:38:56.540 that's normal. Come to Hungary, see by your eyes, and you can see how we live and how
00:39:01.520 is the press. If you go to the Hungarian newsstand and you ask for a paper which attacking the
00:39:07.600 government, you will get a dozen at least immediately. So it's free.
00:39:10.640 What do you say to the opposition parties, the Labour Party here, the Liberal Democrat Party
00:39:14.740 here, who say you are the most regressive leader in the European Union? They, they have concerns
00:39:20.200 about remarks you have made in the past that they say are anti-Semitic, that they say are
00:39:24.400 Islamophobic, and that they say is, is just so anti-immigration. What do you say to them?
00:39:31.380 In terms of anti-immigration, it could be, it could be true. Anti-Semitism is simply ridiculous.
00:39:37.460 Yes. We are a more than fair and correct country in that respect. We have a huge Jewish community,
00:39:46.440 probably the number three in... But you repeatedly attack people like George Soros with anti-Semitic
00:39:52.460 overtones. Oh, no, no. George Soros is a talented Hungarian businessman, very strong rival. He is
00:39:59.440 very much in favor of migration, financing, and helping the NGOs who are doing that. We don't
00:40:04.800 like it, but it has nothing to do with his ethnic identity, you know.
00:40:08.240 Well, you, but you've criticized the leading leftist financier of our age. You've criticized
00:40:12.880 George Soros, and he's a Jew, so that means that you're an anti-Semite. What are you talking about?
00:40:17.220 I've criticized him because he spends zillions of dollars trying to oust me from office and open up
00:40:21.380 the borders of Hungary. Has nothing to do with his ethnicity. Has everything to do with his
00:40:26.560 political actions. Well, you're, but you don't have freedom of the press. What are you talking
00:40:29.840 about? I've got a dozen newspapers who attack me every single day. But what about you, BBC?
00:40:35.360 What about you, Western Anglosphere press? The BBC is attacking Viktor Orban because he is
00:40:44.080 following the will of his constituents who want less immigration. The majority of Americans want
00:40:49.360 less immigration too. Poll after poll after poll shows this, not just illegal, but legal immigration.
00:40:56.560 And yet the American regime does not permit that. The American regime opens up the borders.
00:41:02.340 Seems to me like Hungary is much more democratic than say the United States. What about the freedom
00:41:07.180 of the press? Do we have freedom of the press here in the United States? To some degree we do,
00:41:12.340 but I don't think very much. The entire mainstream press, the major press is dominated by the left
00:41:18.340 and by leftist corporations actually specifically. But then even let's say you've got a conservative
00:41:24.220 outlet like the New York Post and the New York Post comes out with a really juicy story about
00:41:28.140 Hunter Biden's laptop and his business dealings and Joe Biden during a presidential election.
00:41:32.320 And what happens? It's not that the government, it's not that the, you know, the elected Democrat
00:41:38.640 president shuts that down. At the time we had a Republican president, it's that the regime shuts
00:41:42.660 it down. It's that the big tech companies shut it down. It's that you can't even message that story
00:41:46.620 to somebody else. That's what happened with the New York Post. You couldn't even send that story
00:41:49.920 privately to somebody else. Is that freedom of the press? I don't know. You know, before you
00:41:55.080 accuse Viktor Orban, take a look at yourself. Before you accuse Hungary of being anti-democratic,
00:41:59.940 take a look at liberal imperialism and say, well, is this, is this much more democratic? I'm not so sure.
00:42:07.320 Speaking of democratic integrity, by the way, there are some audits of votes going on.
00:42:13.460 They're still auditing the 2020 votes. Now we, there's not a ton of news out on this,
00:42:17.680 certainly not with the presidential election, but there is a little story out of New Hampshire.
00:42:21.860 There were machine tabulated 2020 election results in Wyndham, New Hampshire.
00:42:25.460 And it turns out that those results were different from a later hand recount. And they're saying this
00:42:31.840 is because of the way the ballots were folded and this, that, and the other thing. And the
00:42:36.260 democratic candidate, a democratic state house candidate, Christy St. Lauren, lost her race
00:42:42.800 and I just wanted a recount. And so there was a recount and it turns out the democrat actually
00:42:47.800 got more votes than, uh, than ought to have been given. Now they're, they, all the officials are
00:42:55.980 saying there's no evidence of fraud or political bias, no evidence that this would have thrown the
00:43:00.960 race. Okay. I'm just pointing out here, the fraud generally speaking always seems to go in one
00:43:09.980 direction. I'm not saying without exception, there have been times that the recounts and the
00:43:14.800 accidental votes always seem to go in one, one direction. Not saying all the time, there have
00:43:18.480 been times when Republicans have gotten votes that they shouldn't have to, but whenever we look into
00:43:24.000 these things, we, we seem to find some issues. And yet we're told that if we were in any way to
00:43:29.120 question this around the country, certainly with regard to the presidential election, that would be a
00:43:34.760 kooky, crazy, unacceptable conspiracy theory that we're not even allowed to post on the internet
00:43:38.480 because you see, we have a free press. We have the first amendment and that's why we're not allowed
00:43:42.340 to talk about these things, right? Pretty strange stuff. Makes you, makes you question what sort of
00:43:48.460 government we're really living under. Are we living under the constitution? Are we living under this,
00:43:53.660 this democratic republic of ours? Or are we living under some other system, a sort of liberal empire or a
00:44:00.460 secular progressive administrative state? What, what is the real nature of the government? Well, at times like
00:44:07.060 this, you, you can see the regime really expose, expose itself. Are we represented by the American
00:44:15.500 flag or are we represented by the BLM flag or the rainbow flag? What represents the kind of system
00:44:22.780 we're living under today? Speaking of nation states, the WHO, the World Health Organization has announced a
00:44:31.540 new system for describing coronavirus. The new system for naming COVID and COVID variants is getting rid of
00:44:40.580 various nations. So you, you know, you're not allowed to call it the China virus. We haven't been
00:44:46.500 allowed to call it the China virus for a long time or the Kung flu or the Wu flu or Lung Pao Sicken or
00:44:51.640 Chop Flui. You're not allowed to do it. Don't you dare. You're also not allowed to refer to the Indian
00:44:56.880 variant now. Now, as I recall, when there was a UK variant floating around, that was totally fine. So when it was a,
00:45:04.740 when it was a Western country, totally fine. But when it was India or China, that's totally unacceptable. So the new,
00:45:11.800 the new system, this is going to make it much easier, they say, is according to the Greek alphabet, alpha, beta, gamma,
00:45:19.360 pi, these sorts of things. And the WHO tweets, quote, today, WHO has announced a new naming system for COVID-19
00:45:25.280 variants. The labels are based on the Greek alphabet, making them simple, easy to say. And
00:45:30.000 remember, it's so much simpler. Instead of saying Indian variant to refer to the variant that comes
00:45:34.460 from India, it's so much simpler to learn the Greek alphabet and then remember which Greek letter
00:45:39.840 corresponds to which country. Isn't that easy and simple? Just makes it so much easier for you.
00:45:45.200 But the re they actually acknowledge why they did it. The naming system aims to prevent calling COVID-19
00:45:50.760 variants by the places where they're detected, which is stigmatizing and discriminatory. It's not
00:45:54.760 not either of those things. And really what this is about is obscuring the fact that China caused this
00:46:01.280 virus and very likely caused it in a laboratory and even possibly caused it intentionally.
00:46:09.580 That's what this is about. It's not about conveying truth. It's about obscuring truth.
00:46:16.380 I was discussing this in my upcoming book, Speechless Controlling, Greats Controlling Minds,
00:46:19.940 available now for pre-order. I was describing how, did we get a bell? Is there no? All right.
00:46:24.760 Oh, there we go. Okay. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Oh, no. Oh, no. I pushed it one too far. Are we going to?
00:46:35.020 Oh, God. I thought we'd only done four today. Okay. Well, they'll try to fix that camera.
00:46:43.060 I was describing this difference between euphemisms. We all use euphemisms, right?
00:46:47.140 A euphemism is when you use soft words to sugarcoat harsh realities. So a harsh reality, for instance,
00:46:54.820 is that, you know, a woman is aged, let's say. You don't want to call a woman old. How dare you?
00:47:03.100 A lady never tells her age. So you say she's a woman of a certain age. Okay. We all know what that
00:47:07.220 means. And it's not a lie. She really is a woman of a certain age. And you don't want to call her an
00:47:10.880 old hag. So, okay. It makes perfect sense. But if you take another, like a politically correct
00:47:17.060 euphemism and you say, okay, instead of calling someone a criminal, we're going to call him a
00:47:20.820 justice-involved person. That's an actual euphemism used. You're not just sort of softening what you're
00:47:26.520 saying about them. You're actually inverting the reality. Because whatever the criminal is,
00:47:31.900 he's not involved with justice. Okay. He's actually involved with injustice. It's the opposite
00:47:35.880 of what's going on here. And that is what you're seeing. That's what you're seeing with all this
00:47:41.180 kind of Orwellian talk coming from the WHO. And this is all over the place. This has even
00:47:46.800 infected Tennessee. You know, I love Tennessee. I fled Los Angeles, Gamora by the sea,
00:47:52.840 New Salini's fascistic, I guess more communistic sort of, you know, wokest state. Didn't turn around.
00:47:59.620 I didn't want to turn into a pillar of salt. I come to Tennessee. But this stuff's going on in
00:48:02.820 Tennessee. Tennessee is requiring all state employees to complete an assignment on diversity
00:48:08.320 and equity as part of their performance reviews. This according to internal documents from the
00:48:14.400 Tennessee Department of HR. And this is what they write. Quote, although we're all affected by the
00:48:20.880 recent deaths of black Americans, black employees are affected disproportionately, be considerate of
00:48:24.860 what employees are experiencing when communicating with team members. So we're told that certain deaths
00:48:28.860 are worse than other deaths in the United States. And certain people, based on their skin color,
00:48:32.820 are more sensitive and deserving and more privileges than other people. That's a new
00:48:36.580 caste system. Okay. That is a deeply unjust sort of thing. But it reminds us that there's a big
00:48:44.260 difference between what we think that our government is and what our government really is. What we think
00:48:49.220 our law is and what our law really is. And I think you're seeing this in conservatives. There's a group
00:48:55.820 of conservatives that seem to think that nothing has changed since 1982 and they just want to keep
00:49:00.760 their head in the sand to go along with that. And there's another group of conservatives who knows
00:49:04.020 what time it is and who knows that we need to change our strategy or we're going to be wiped out
00:49:09.020 forever on the right. And that latter group of conservatives are the ones who seriously know
00:49:15.740 what's going on. And if we want to fight back at all, we've got to recognize that we've got to wake up
00:49:21.440 and live in the present if we want to reclaim the glories of our national past.
