The Michael Knowles Show - How ＂BASED＂ Are You？

00:00:00.000 How conservative are you? This is sometimes a question that people, they write in, they ask,

00:00:06.680 they wonder, what is the scale? What are the gradations? A based tier ranking, to use the

00:00:12.460 lingo of the Utes. Well, I've got the definitive ranking. We put that out on YouTube and, but just

00:00:20.240 so that all of you out there in podcast land do not miss out on this very scientific study,

00:00:25.020 take a listen to the based tier ranking of how conservative you are. More and more people are

00:00:33.380 waking up to the woke left-wing madness. Because of this, maybe you now believe or have even done

00:00:39.700 something that the Utes in their right-wing lingo might call based. Well, this can be a very confusing

00:00:46.160 event for people who thought that they were liberal. So I am here to help you sort it all out

00:00:51.180 and help you see where you land. Are you conservative curious or are you a full-blown

00:00:57.500 knuckle-dragging, salt-sewing, red-pilled based conservative? Other people use rankings like

00:01:05.000 S tier, A tier, B tier. We've got very different categories. The lowest tier of basedness is you

00:01:11.920 think men are not women. That's kind of entry level. The next level, you secretly voted for Trump

00:01:17.820 in 2020. You're a little more committed, but you know, you kind of keep your head down. You don't

00:01:22.800 want to make too much noise. In the third tier, you're pretty bought in. You can't help but make

00:01:27.600 comments now and again that get you in trouble. This is where your blue-haired cousin doesn't talk

00:01:32.940 to you anymore. At the next level, you flaunt your patriotism. You are like the Florida man who waved

00:01:39.420 an American flag in a hurricane, which is actually a violation of flag code, but your heart's in the right

00:01:44.540 place. And then finally, the S tier, the top, baster than Genghis Khan, which is when you're

00:01:51.740 already banned on every social media platform. Those are the five categories. Men are not women,

00:01:57.140 secretly voted for Trump, blue hairs won't talk to you, hurricane flag, social media exile.

00:02:03.500 Let's get started. Wearing a MAGA hat out in public. So obviously it's past the second tier. The

00:02:10.480 second tier is you secretly voted for Trump. Now you're at the, your blue hair cousin won't speak

00:02:16.500 to you anymore. Are you all the way up to waving a flag in a hurricane? Probably not. You know,

00:02:21.320 Trump did win the election. Malarkey. Certainly won the election the first time and a whole lot of

00:02:25.980 people voted for him the second time. 70 million, more than 70 million, who knows? So I think you're

00:02:31.460 probably at, your blue haired cousin won't speak to you, but you're not yet at the point where you're

00:02:36.180 risking life and land to waive old glory. You got the Don't Tread on Me bumper sticker.

00:02:42.560 Okay. This is actually kind of a surprising one. I'm going to say,

00:02:48.400 I'm going to say it's the same level. It's, it's more commitment. The Don't Tread on Me

00:02:55.360 is pretty hardcore. You're saying, I don't just want to go back to good old America,

00:03:00.380 but I want to go all the way back to that kind of revolutionary spirit, 1776 baby. But it's also

00:03:06.600 appropriated by a lot of like libertarians, some people who don't necessarily love Trump,

00:03:11.160 but you know, they're very ideological. So I'm going to say this is still not quite

00:03:14.900 waving the flag in the hurricane, but your blue haired cousin definitely does not like you.

00:03:20.380 Applied to joint space force. Now you're, you're getting a little bit higher up here.

00:03:25.340 You probably haven't been banned on all the social media platforms because I assume you'll need some

00:03:30.320 internet access to apply to space force. But if you're, if you're willing to launch yourself

00:03:36.040 into the cold abyss for the glory of your country in a department that was started by Donald Trump,

00:03:45.220 you, you would wave a flag in a hurricane. You've got the American flag emoji in your Twitter handle.

00:03:54.040 Okay. If you've got the flag emoji in your Twitter handle, you definitely voted for Trump. And that

00:03:59.820 is public. So now you're, you're definitely past the first two tiers. Are you willing to wave the

00:04:06.960 flag in a hurricane? Maybe, maybe not. Are you banned on social media? Obviously not because

00:04:12.580 you still have a Twitter handle. So I'm going to peg this conservatively at, you know, you're

00:04:16.980 willing to signal the flag. You're willing to wave the flag on social media, which can be very

00:04:20.640 dangerous these days. I'm not sure if you're willing to do it in the hurricane. So your blue haired

00:04:24.100 cousin does not like you. You can name all of the American presidents. That just makes you a nerd.

00:04:31.720 Nerd! That doesn't, that does not make you conservative necessarily. I guess if you have any

00:04:38.880 even relatively strong grasp of American history, I guess by definition that makes you conservative

00:04:44.720 in this day and age. But this is a little bit lower. I mean, you know that men are not women,

00:04:49.120 probably, if you can name all the presidents. Did you secretly vote for Trump? Yeah. Yeah,

00:04:53.740 you probably did. No, I'm not even totally willing to. I'd say this is kind of the first level.

00:04:59.940 At the very least, you know, men are not women. You participate in the nose mask protest. Yeah. So

00:05:07.240 this is certainly, you know, men are not women. Certainly, you know that you shouldn't wear filthy

00:05:11.640 cloth on your face in public because that's disordered and you look like a lame bandito.

00:05:15.780 It's a science experiment. Is that a category? Maybe not. You definitely secretly voted for Trump.

00:05:23.020 I guess the question is, are you secretly voted for Trump or are you, your blue haired cousin won't

00:05:29.920 speak to you anymore? I guess it depends if you have seen your blue haired cousin with the face mask,

00:05:34.580 probably knowing the blue haired cousin, she's not going to leave her apartment during this whole

00:05:38.040 thing, unless it's to go to the dispensary or something. So probably this is, you secretly voted for

00:05:43.380 Trump, but you're not willing to wave that flag in the hurricane because you haven't even ripped the

00:05:48.120 whole thing off yet. You're just kind of below here. You know, then you got to start moving it

00:05:51.860 down a little further. You get it. My favorite one is when you wear the mask on your chin.

00:05:56.600 That's my favorite protest. You can sort of tell someone's politics by how low on their face

00:06:00.880 they wear the mask. You are anti-mask. So this just means that you have two brain cells to rub

00:06:07.680 together, actually. So yeah, you're, you're a little bit conservative here. You don't want to

00:06:12.340 let the exalted Dr. Fauci run roughshod over our entire country and civilization. Here we go again.

00:06:18.500 So you know that men are not women for sure. Did you secretly vote for Trump? Yeah, I guess you did.

00:06:23.420 Does your blue haired cousin hate you? She does. Yeah. Would you wave the flag in the hurricane? Well,

00:06:29.320 it depends. Like, are you, are you saying you're so anti-mask that you wouldn't wear it even if the

00:06:35.180 cops are yelling at you? You're going to get arrested on an airplane or something? If that's

00:06:39.460 the case, then obviously, you know, you're going way up the chain. But if you're just generally

00:06:43.340 speaking anti-mask, probably just, you know, you're, you're at the phase where, where the blue

00:06:48.780 hairs don't like you very much. The Patriot is your favorite movie. This, you know, The Patriot's an

00:06:56.820 excellent movie. Some people think it's a little overwrought, but it's, it's a great movie. You

00:07:00.860 obviously know that men are not women. You obviously voted for Trump, at least secretly.

00:07:05.220 You might be able to play it safe enough that you stay on social media, that you don't get blown away

00:07:11.820 in a hurricane and that your cousin still will come to dinner with you. So I'm going to say, you know,

00:07:15.440 it's good. You've got great taste in movies, though. You should, you should check out other

00:07:19.080 great movies like, I don't know, Me, Myself and Irene or other sort of brilliant, brilliant films.

00:07:25.340 But still Patriot, very good movie. This is where you secretly voted for Trump.

00:07:29.140 Okay. You actively discriminate against French people. This should be the default setting of

00:07:37.420 all Americans and really all civilized people. I fart in your general direction. I'm not even sure

00:07:43.620 this means that you secretly voted for Trump. I think this is an even more basic common sense

00:07:48.980 position than that. C'est vrai, c'est vrai, bien sûr.

00:07:53.420 Your goldfish is named Goldwater. You're pretty committed. So you secretly voted for Trump for

00:08:02.280 sure. Well, this is tricky because there's a kind of group of conservatives, kind of like the never

00:08:08.400 Trumpers who are like, oh yeah, man, if I lived back in the Barry Goldwater days, I would have totally

00:08:13.060 been conservative. Oh yeah, if I lived back in the Reagan days, I would have been totally

00:08:16.320 conservative. But now they're just like super squishy and liberal, you know, and they're like,

00:08:20.380 I'm a conservative, but not that kind of conservative. And they basically hide in the

00:08:25.800 sort of halcyon conservative days of the past rather than having the courage to fight the actual

00:08:29.720 battles we're in now. So I'm actually going to peg that one down a little bit. You know that men

00:08:34.220 are not women. Maybe you did not secretly vote for Trump. You still want Jane Fonda tried for

00:08:40.360 treason. Yeah, baby. Now we're talking. It's based. You definitely voted for Trump, but not

00:08:44.680 secretly. You did it publicly. Your cousin does not talk to you. You may be banned from social media.

00:08:50.760 If you say things like we need to try her, we need, because also, you know, the punishment for

00:08:53.780 treason is like not, it's a little, little tricky. So yeah, you, you're probably banned from social

00:09:01.600 media for that. You're, you're, cause you're going to hear a lot of people say like, we,

00:09:05.160 we want to hear all opinions. It's totally cool that Jane Fonda was sitting at an anti-aircraft

00:09:09.460 gun in Vietnam. Yeah, no, that's great. Oh, it's the marketplace of ideas or something. Uh, no,

00:09:14.480 no, it's not. She should definitely, definitely not have been permitted to do that. You're getting

00:09:19.280 banned from social media if you're, if you're espousing that view too publicly. You own a firearm.

00:09:24.000 Yeah. So great, great, great picture too. Uh, is that my blue haired cousin? No,

00:09:28.900 definitely not. Definitely not. You own a firearm. Uh, you know, that men are not women.

00:09:34.520 You definitely secretly voted for Trump. But the thing about firearms is like voting for Trump.

00:09:39.620 You can do it in secret. I know a lot of people who will come up to me, you know,

00:09:43.240 they kind of play nice. They're sort of friends with lots of liberals and they get invited to

00:09:47.660 liberal parties, but secretly, you know, they're, they're second amendment supporters. So that one's

00:09:51.400 going to just be, you secretly voted for Trump. You open carry for no reason whatsoever.

00:09:56.500 Yeah, that's, that's a little bit higher up the chain for sure. You probably would wave the flag

00:10:03.060 in the hurricane at that, at that moment when you've just got that gun on your hip just to say,

00:10:08.340 damn it, I'm proud to be an American. You're getting out there with old glory, no doubt.

00:10:13.080 You believe Nixon did nothing wrong. This just means that you're smart and reasonable and you

00:10:17.620 don't get tricked by the liberal media. Okay.

00:10:19.760 You would wave the flag in the hurricane at that point for sure. Would you be banned from social

00:10:27.260 media? Yeah, like maybe because you're to, to recognize that Richard Nixon basically just got

00:10:35.060 ousted because subversives actually in the deep state never forgave him for going after the

00:10:42.140 communist Alger Hiss, which is really what this whole thing was about. If you recognize that,

00:10:46.400 then you probably challenge a lot of the mainstream narrative surrounding our politics.

00:10:51.700 So I'm going to say you might be banned on social media. You're veering between either waving the

00:10:57.420 flag or an outright ban, depending on how flamboyant you are in your correct views.

00:11:03.400 Blocked by celebrities on Twitter. These days you need to sneeze to get blocked by celebrities on

00:11:07.400 Twitter. And that's very, you know that men are not women. That's about all it takes. That's like

00:11:12.680 the basic level. It's getting blocked by these very trigger happy celebrities.

00:11:18.500 You cut your hair at great clips. I don't, I don't know if I can quite capture the political

00:11:25.400 significance of that. Do you know, I'm not sure that you even need to know that men are not women

00:11:30.640 to get your hair cut at great clips. I'm, I think this is going to be a special secret tier

00:11:36.920 that's not in our five tiers. I think this tier is right below you knowing that men are not women.

00:11:42.340 This is one where you just like a great deal. And you know, I think everybody can enjoy a great deal.

00:11:46.620 Even the libs. You bought GameStop stock and still haven't sold. Deep effing value is what you are

00:11:56.000 to quote a very famous Reddit user. I mean, you're waving that flag in the hurricane, no doubt. And I guess

00:12:02.460 actually, if you're one of the, if, if you are deep effing value, which is the name of one of

00:12:07.460 these very famous users, you're, you're definitely getting banned on social media websites, right?

00:12:11.480 I mean, you are the whole Reddit went after these guys, Twitter went after these guys, like everybody

00:12:16.860 was going after the, the wall streets bets guys who were pumping up GameStop to put the, the hedge

00:12:25.080 funds that were short GameStop, put the squeeze on them and make a ton of money making fun of

00:12:30.020 wall street. So that's, that's pretty strong. I guess that's the top tier. You post all lives

00:12:34.980 matter on BLM videos. So that's good. So it's not just saying all lives matter. That would just be

00:12:39.260 like you secretly voted for Trump. This is a little more provocative because you're going to the BLM

00:12:43.620 videos. Definitely your blue hair cousin doesn't talk to you. And you would, you would wave the flag

00:12:48.240 in the hurricane because if you're doing that kind of stuff, you are putting yourself in physical

00:12:54.080 danger at just as you would, if you were waving the flag in the hurricane, are you banned from social

00:12:58.760 media? Well, if you're still posting on those videos, I guess you're not banned yet. So I would

00:13:02.800 say you're, you're at the hurricane level. Your boat sank at a Trump rally. Yeah. My favorite Trump

00:13:09.080 rallies are the ones on in Newport beach on Duffy boats, or it's just lots of great middle-aged

00:13:15.200 conservatives waving those flags. I guess you're waving the flag in the hurricane. I mean, it's,

00:13:19.480 it's actually the best analogy to that scene because you are actually going down,

00:13:24.000 drowning in physical danger while waving a flag. You've been featured in the comment of the day

00:13:30.580 on the Michael Knowles show. Man, that is, that is getting into top tier. Let's see. You, look,

00:13:35.960 if you're willing to be featured on my show, your cousin probably doesn't talk to you. Would you wave

00:13:41.660 the flag? Yeah. Duh. Are you banned from social media? Obviously not yet. Not yet is the answer.

00:13:47.400 You're still at the fourth tier, but probably once you're featured on my show, then, then you're,

00:13:52.360 you might be booting up to the fifth tier. You're on thin ice, pal. You have a subscription to the

00:13:56.820 Daily Wire. You know, I actually have to say having a subscription to the Daily Wire, I think it used

00:14:01.560 to be like you, you had to be the most knuckle dragging Genghis Khan ever, but I am really pleased

00:14:06.800 as people are waking up to this insane woke culture that more people in the middle, even some lives

00:14:12.560 are coming over because they realize that if they get their news from CNN and New York Times

00:14:17.340 and Washington Post, they're just being lied to all the time. This is ridiculous. So I'm actually

00:14:21.260 very, you don't even think you needed to secretly vote for Trump. I think as long as you can acknowledge

00:14:26.000 a very, like very basic facts about the world and the sky is blue, two plus two is four, men are not

00:14:31.680 women. If you're just that basic level, you can start to enter into that space. And then hopefully we at

00:14:38.780 the Daily Wire will take you all the way down, all the way down the path to make you a full-fledged

00:14:44.440 knuckle dragging conservative. Let me know in the comment section if you agree with my rankings.

00:14:49.540 Let me know any other topics you want me to cover. We'll see you next time.
