The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1006 - Pronoun Lunatics Turn Students Into Sexual Harassment Criminals

00:00:00.000 Things are looking really bad for the left. We already knew that things were bad for the left.

00:00:06.360 They are down in the midterm polls. They are down on pretty much every single issue in the country.

00:00:12.580 They're down on job performance. But this weekend took things to a whole new level.

00:00:19.060 There was supposed to be a major pro-abortion protest in New York City on Saturday. This was

00:00:25.960 going to be the 2022 version of the Women's March, all the more urgent because the Supreme Court 0.95

00:00:32.400 just leaked the decision to overrule Roe versus Wade. This march was going to be historic.

00:00:40.020 And here is what the local New York outlet, The Gothamist, had to say.

00:00:46.300 Hundreds upon hundreds of abortion rights supporters marched from Brooklyn to Manhattan

00:00:51.840 on Saturday in one of the several mass demonstrations around the country protesting the presumed impending

00:00:58.120 end to Roe versus Wade. Hundreds upon hundreds. The population of New York City is over 8 million.

00:01:06.480 More than three quarters of New Yorkers vote Democrat. Even lots of New York Republicans

00:01:11.320 support legal abortion. If abortion were as popular as the establishment propagandists claim,

00:01:17.180 there should have been a million people in the streets. Conservatively, there should have been

00:01:21.940 a million people in the streets. If this were the fight for women's essential rights, 1.00

00:01:26.200 as the libs are claiming, we should have expected to see, at the very least, a few hundred thousand

00:01:32.780 people out there. But we didn't see millions. We didn't see hundreds of thousands. We didn't see

00:01:38.140 tens of thousands. Apparently, we didn't even see thousands, which would still have been pretty

00:01:42.500 pathetic, by the way, if it were only thousands in a city of over 8 million. According to New York

00:01:46.760 Local News, it was hundreds of people who showed up to rally for killing babies. Democrats are looking

00:01:54.060 to the overrule of Roe v. Wade as the last best hope that they have to motivate voters for the

00:01:59.420 midterms in an otherwise catastrophic year. If this weekend's nationwide flop is any indication,

00:02:06.240 they're going to have to hope for something else. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show.

00:02:16.760 Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment on Friday is from Christoph Rodriguez, who says,

00:02:22.340 I wonder if Joe will help Hunter get some baby formula for the grandchild he refuses to acknowledge.

00:02:27.780 That is a really harsh, tough, accurate thing to say. This should be a national scandal. And it is

00:02:35.920 probably the single most surprising, shocking aspect of the Biden administration to me is that Joe's

00:02:43.320 whole image is he's just nice old Joe. He's just good old grandpa Joe, just nice old guy.

00:02:48.000 The man has a grandchild, a granddaughter whom he will not acknowledge. Could you imagine being that

00:02:53.060 little granddaughter? You know that your grandpa is the president of the United States. He's old

00:02:57.100 nice guy Joe. And he refuses to acknowledge you in any way. That is an actual scandal. But of course,

00:03:03.260 you won't hear about it in the news because the left, especially right now, the left is waging a war

00:03:09.160 on babies in terms of feeding the babies, in terms of letting the babies live. That's why you got to

00:03:13.960 check out 40 Days for Life. With the court's potential overruling of Roe v. Wade, you might

00:03:19.300 think the abortion fight is coming to an end. Not even close. Abortion legislation returning to the

00:03:25.020 states means the only real battle is just beginning. And that is why it's so important to check out 40 Days

00:03:32.780 for Life, okay? There is no group in America better positioned than 40 Days for Life to help fight this

00:03:38.840 battle. 40 Days for Life has 1 million volunteers throughout the country, including peaceful

00:03:42.720 vigils outside abortion facilities. You may be surprised to hear their largest presence is

00:03:46.820 actually in the country's blue states, with California being the biggest state. Their vigils

00:03:51.920 have closed many abortion facilities in America. Nearly half of those facilities were in liberal

00:03:56.300 states where abortion will continue to remain legal after the fall of Roe. From San Francisco to

00:04:01.200 Chicago to Seattle, not exactly pro-life areas, volunteers have guided abortion workers to have a change of

00:04:07.040 heart and to quit their jobs. As this issue gets out of D.C., finally, 40 Days for Life is effectively

00:04:12.860 changing hearts and minds in the grassroots of the post-abortion movement. Check out their

00:04:18.120 locations, podcasts, their new book, What to Say When, the complete guide to discussing abortion at

00:04:42.780 you there. Democrats are completely losing the messaging war. Usually, at least for probably most

00:04:50.820 of my life, Democrats have won the messaging war because they control all of the media and Hollywood

00:04:56.760 and the news and all of it and publishing. And so generally, they've won the messaging war. They

00:05:01.940 are totally losing it now. Here is the best line that the Democrats have come up with in the last

00:05:10.220 two years, at least, to attack the Republicans, to aim all of the public vitriol at the conservatives.

00:05:17.860 In a sense, I never expected, let me say this carefully, I never expected the ultra-mega Republicans

00:05:32.640 who seem to control the Republican Party now to have been able to control the Republican Party.

00:05:40.160 I never anticipated that happening. The ultra-mega Republicans. A lot of people thought

00:05:47.460 this was just a line that Joe Biden came up with on the spot. And it's not a great line. And it

00:05:52.300 actually makes us seem kind of cool. That image is cool, right? Ultra-mega. What does

00:05:57.260 MAGA means? Make America great again. I'm ultra. I'm ultra. I'm super-mega. I am, yes,

00:06:02.220 I'm here to defend truth, justice, and the American way. It seems like kind of a cool thing. But

00:06:05.860 whatever, Joe Biden, he's definitely lost a few steps. He just used this line. It's probably

00:06:11.300 going to backfire, but he came up with it on the spot, right? No, actually, it turns out

00:06:17.280 according to the Washington Post, that line was workshopped. That line was researched.

00:06:25.640 A progressive group spent six months researching the killer new line to use against the Republicans.

00:06:35.200 They took a lot of money to do this. And the best thing that they could come up with

00:06:39.340 was ultra-mega. This is like out of a Saturday Night Live sketch. If Saturday Night Live were funny,

00:06:46.700 and even slightly right wing, this would be an SNL sketch where you say, you got all the genius

00:06:51.540 consultants in the room. They say, all right, Mr. President, we're in the war room. We've got to

00:06:55.080 come up with the soaring rhetoric, this high oratory, this killer political messaging to go

00:07:00.940 after your opponents. Okay, what have you got, boys? Well, we've spent zillions of your dollars and

00:07:06.400 focus groups and ultra-mega. Wow, good job, geniuses. I'm glad all those Ivy League degrees are

00:07:14.500 paying off. This is good. Please, use it. We're ultra-mega. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the

00:07:21.340 ultra-mega show. See how that turns out in November, folks. I don't think it's going to

00:07:26.440 turn out very well. The Libs, who had been so precise with language, and they still remain

00:07:32.840 precise with language, but they had been so effective at manipulating language for a century.

00:07:37.840 I wrote a whole book on this. My number one national bestseller, Speechless Controlling

00:07:41.600 Minds, thanks to all of you, rose up the charts. The book is about how the left very effectively

00:07:47.000 has wielded language to take over the whole culture. I think they've lost their gift, or

00:07:52.440 they're at least in a rut right now. The pro-choice caucus of the Democrats, there used to be a little

00:08:01.640 more of a distinction between left and right, Republican, Democrat, pro-choice, pro-life. That's

00:08:08.840 kind of gone away now. Left, Democrat, pro-abortion, it's all the same thing. So the pro-choice caucus

00:08:13.320 has sent out important abortion messaging do's and don'ts, reportedly. So what they're saying is

00:08:19.580 there is harmful language, and we've got to change it to make it more palatable to the public.

00:08:24.720 The harmful language is choice. Previously, you'll remember the word for abortion was abortion,

00:08:30.800 or infanticide, or killing. Then they said, no, no, we've got to call it choice. That's going to

00:08:34.760 make it softer and better. But now choice has been poisoned. So now they're saying instead of

00:08:39.760 choice, you have to say decision. It's a woman's decision. That's what they're saying the helpful 0.99

00:08:44.340 language is. The harmful language is that we need to reduce abortion and make it safe, legal, and 0.89

00:08:48.500 rare. That was the line that the Clintons came up with. The helpful language is safe, legal, and

00:08:53.180 accessible. And accessible. Forget about rare. It's the opposite of rare, actually. We need to make it

00:08:58.140 easily accessed. Unwanted pregnancy, that's harmful. It makes it seem like we don't want babies.

00:09:03.320 Unexpected pregnancy is better, and then we don't want the unexpected pregnancy and we kill the baby. 0.94

00:09:08.600 Harmful language, conscience clause or protections to get out of some of the radical abortion

00:09:14.120 legislation. The helpful language, they say refusal of care slash denial of care laws,

00:09:19.400 because killing a baby is care, according to the pro-abortion left. Then finally, harmful language

00:09:24.860 is back alley abortions and coat hangers. I think this is probably harmful in that it paints a very

00:09:31.220 ugly picture, but also it just didn't happen. It's not real. It's describing an allegedly widespread

00:09:36.140 problem that did not exist. The helpful language, they say, is criminalizing health care.

00:09:42.520 You're criminalizing health care by not letting people kill their kids.

00:09:46.080 Why do they have to do this? The reason they have to do this was explained by the Harvard

00:09:50.140 psychologist, Steven Pinker, in the phrase euphemism treadmill. I also talk about this in my book,

00:09:56.540 Speechless, which is coming out in paperback next month, by the way. So it should be fun.

00:09:59.640 That'll give us another chance to jump up to the top of the charts and have the New York Times

00:10:03.060 ignore us on their bestseller list. The euphemism treadmill refers to a problem that the left has

00:10:09.520 in particular, which is the left will use a euphemism to deceive people about their harmful

00:10:16.840 policies. So instead of saying killing babies, they'll say choice or women's health care. 0.99

00:10:22.340 But eventually, that term, the new term, takes on the same negative color, the same negative

00:10:31.920 characteristics and sense of the old term because the reality of the situation has not changed.

00:10:40.900 And so you end up in a situation where you just need to come up with a new euphemism.

00:10:46.140 You'll notice this with certain disabilities. Let's say someone is disabled. A lot of people

00:10:55.120 are disabled. There's nothing shameful in being disabled, but it's not a preferable condition. 1.00

00:10:59.620 No one wants to be disabled. And so you have a word like cripple. Cripple then takes on a negative

00:11:04.700 connotation because it's a condition that is undesirable. No one wants to have that condition.

00:11:09.100 And so then it becomes handicapped. But then handicapped takes that on. And then it becomes

00:11:13.000 handicapable. And then handicapable takes that on. And then it becomes differently abled. And they

00:11:17.580 have to change the euphemism every six months, it seems, because the condition that it describes

00:11:24.300 is one that people still don't want to have for themselves. So that would be a kind of neutral

00:11:30.920 description of that. What about in politics when the libs are trying to deceive everybody? 0.95

00:11:36.680 Well, that's what you see with abortion, especially. It's a woman's right to choose. It's 1.00

00:11:42.420 women's health care. It's reproductive freedom. It's choice. It's decision. It's this. It's that. 0.98

00:11:47.280 No, well, the thing you're describing is not only undesirable. The thing you're describing is shameful.

00:11:53.580 The thing you're describing is sinful. The thing you're describing is deeply immoral. You're talking

00:11:57.180 about killing a baby. There's no way that you can put lipstick on that pig and convince us all that

00:12:01.880 it's Marilyn Monroe. It's a horrible thing. And so good job, Dems. Change the language all you want.

00:12:07.640 Six months from now, you're going to be in the same situation. The more effective strategy would be to

00:12:11.700 change your mind and stop embracing things that are obviously wrong. Don't do it. You'll sleep a lot

00:12:18.100 easier at night, okay? You'll definitely sleep a lot easier if you sleep on Bull and Branch sheets.

00:12:36.860 It's not that it's a made-up number, but it's a made-up meaningful statement. You always hear

00:12:42.480 sheet companies that say, we've got a seven gazillion thread count. It doesn't matter how

00:12:45.460 many threads you've got if the threads are not of the highest quality, okay? So a lot of sheet

00:12:50.400 companies, they'll say, oh, we've got all this thread count, but their sheets aren't any good

00:12:53.760 because the threads aren't very high quality. Bull and Branch uses only the best 100% organic cotton

00:13:33.960 Why now? Why are the Democrats trying to change all of their language and use these highly focused

00:13:41.840 grouped phrases to communicate with the public? They need to do that right now because they are

00:13:51.200 harming vulnerable members of our society in a very visible way. Why is this abortion issue

00:13:57.980 right now the big issue? Well, in part, it's because of the Supreme Court decision.

00:14:01.580 Why is the Supreme Court decision so prominent? Well, because we've got conservative judges on the

00:14:06.500 court. We've got pro-life laws in Mississippi and pro-life laws in Florida. Why do we have these pro-life

00:14:09.940 laws? Why are people focusing on this issue more than they have apparently in 50 years?

00:14:16.460 They are because the libs are not as good at hiding their horrible agenda. They are harming kids, 0.79

00:14:24.200 not just little tiny babies in the womb. It's easier to hide that, relatively easier to hide that,

00:14:28.300 even with sonograms. But now they're harming kids in kindergarten, first grade, second grade.

00:14:33.220 That's why you see the parents movement in Virginia. That's why you see the parents movement in

00:14:36.640 Florida. The Illinois Department of Child and Family Services is sponsoring a kiddie corner

00:14:44.380 at the Pride Parade. Chris Ruffo just broke this. The Illinois Department of Children and Family

00:14:50.620 Services is sponsoring a Pride Fest kiddie corner featuring drag queen story time, drag kids,

00:14:55.880 drag kids to dress up. So you're dressing up little boys in stripper clothing and putting them in little 0.67

00:15:02.180 stiletto heels and having them dance around for the sexual pleasure of perverts and deviants. 1.00

00:15:06.260 That's just, that's wonderful. That's open-minded. That's tolerant. And if you oppose that, if you

00:15:10.780 oppose putting kids in sexualized clothing of the opposite sex, why you're just a closed-minded bigot,

00:15:16.560 according to the government of Illinois, and they have a drag show for children as well. We all know

00:15:23.540 that this is completely, completely disordered and wrong. And then the fight usually breaks down

00:15:31.620 something like this. Conservatives will object to kids being sexualized and exposed to all this

00:15:37.640 absolutely degenerate filth. And then the liberals will come in and they'll say, you're being open-minded.

00:15:43.900 Stop forcing your religious views on it. It's fine if you think that this is immoral in your private life,

00:15:49.640 but don't you force your religious views about why we shouldn't dress up little boys like they're

00:15:54.940 hookers and have them dance around on a stage for perverts. Stop forcing your religious views on us. 1.00

00:16:01.200 And the conservatives were often left speechless by the sheer audacity and mendacity of the claims of

00:16:08.200 the left. But the way to try to shake them into some understanding of reality is to point out that the

00:16:15.280 left is forcing their religious views on us. The clearest religious view they're forcing here is

00:16:20.100 the religious view that the soul has nothing to do with the body. And so it is ontologically possible

00:16:26.520 to be a man trapped in a woman's body or a woman trapped in a man's body, and that the body has

00:16:31.300 nothing to do with our true identity, and that we have an obligation to affirm our own deeply felt

00:16:38.440 sentiments that we might be the opposite sex, and to reject our body or to mutilate our body or to dress

00:16:43.160 up like the opposite sex, and that this is a good thing. Those are moral claims. Those are claims 1.00

00:16:47.780 about human nature. Those are religious claims. And the left is not merely relegating their religion

00:16:52.660 to the private sphere like they insist that Christians do, and Jews do, and Muslims do. 0.91

00:16:57.140 They're making their religious views the public religion of the United States. We have a public

00:17:01.160 religion because all states at all times have some kind of public religion. Our public religion in

00:17:06.640 this country from its very earliest days in the early 17th century up until about five minutes ago was

00:17:12.120 Christianity. That was the public religion with a broad range of tolerance because there were

00:17:16.580 disagreements among the various Protestant Christian sects, and there were always Catholics here from

00:17:20.900 almost the nation's earliest days. There was some Catholic presence in the New World. Well, that's now 1.00

00:17:25.700 gone out the window, and the public religion is transgenderism, and the public religion is LGBT, 0.82

00:17:31.960 and the public religion is diversity, equity, and inclusion, and the public religion is multiculturalism,

00:17:36.280 and that public religion makes different claims about human nature and the relation of man to state,

00:17:41.640 and the relation of who we are to our creator, who we are to one another. And so they're going to

00:17:47.760 force that out there. And the challenge for conservatives is that we have just spent half a

00:17:54.140 century at least embracing the left's idea of a separation between church and state, and embracing

00:18:01.200 the left's idea of a radical kind of religious freedom that says that you have the right to believe

00:18:06.040 whatever you want without any restrictions from the government. And that's not really a conservative

00:18:10.220 argument, and that's not really traditional in American history, and that's not really

00:18:18.080 philosophically coherent. And it doesn't really make sense. Of course, there have to be limits on

00:18:24.180 these things. We don't really believe that if you are a member of the religious group,

00:18:32.020 well, I don't even need to make up a crazy hypothetical example. We don't really believe that if you're a

00:18:35.960 member of a pagan religious group that practices human sacrifice, that you have a right to do that.

00:18:40.660 We don't actually think that. It might be your deeply held religious view, but you don't have

00:18:45.140 a right to do it. The Satanists right now are saying that part of their religious practice is

00:18:49.780 abortion, which is true. That actually is part of the Satanists' religious practice. Nevertheless,

00:18:54.960 we the people still have the right to prohibit that, and they have no right to pursue it.

00:18:59.440 Conservatives need to get a lot more comfortable talking about public religion. We need to get a lot more

00:19:03.840 comfortable saying, yeah, we are going to legislate morality, because all legislation legislates

00:19:09.060 morality, and the libs have been legislating morality for the last 50, 60, 70 years, and it's

00:19:14.140 been a complete disaster for everybody. And so you know what? I think we're going to go back to

00:19:17.960 legislating morality, and everybody's going to be better off for it. We got to get our confidence back.

00:19:24.360 Got to get some, I don't know, some of those anatomical features that everyone's focused on these

00:19:27.760 days. I think we need to grow some of them again too, because the prevailing sexual ethic that is

00:19:37.120 reigning in the country and being enforced by the state is insane. In Wisconsin right now,

00:19:42.780 there's a Wisconsin school district that just filed a Title IX sexual harassment complaint

00:19:48.980 against middle school students. And they are filing this complaint against the students,

00:19:55.060 because the students used the correct pronoun to refer to one of their classmates.

00:20:02.160 An investigation into three Kiel middle school students has been launched. The school district

00:20:07.720 has filed a Title IX complaint accusing the students of using incorrect pronouns while addressing

00:20:15.220 another student. Funks 11's Monique Lopez spoke with the parent of one of the students in this

00:20:20.800 project education report. I received a phone call from the principal over at the elementary school

00:20:27.540 forewarning me, letting me know that I was going to be receiving an email with sexual harassment

00:20:34.240 allegations against my son. Rosemary Rabideau's 13-year-old son, Brayden, is one of the three

00:20:40.140 eighth grade Kiel middle school students accused of sexual harassment. Something she disputes.

00:20:46.880 He said he's being allegedly charged with sexual harassment for not using proper pronouns.

00:20:53.240 Some might say or think that you or your son are against the LGBTQ plus community.

00:20:58.520 Not at all. Not at all.

00:21:00.080 Now, there's so much here. You could write a doctoral dissertation about this whole interview

00:21:04.920 because you saw right there at the end, the interviewer says, so your 13-year-old son is

00:21:11.680 being charged with sexual harassment for using the correct pronouns to refer to a sexually confused

00:21:17.700 classmate. Some people would say you're against the LGBTQ community. And you see what that woman 1.00

00:21:23.720 says. This totally normal mother who says, are you kidding? You're accusing my 13-year-old son of

00:21:27.640 sexual harassment for calling a her, a her, or a him, a him. And they said, but are you against

00:21:33.740 the LGBT? She said, no, no, we're for it, LGBT. We love, we're totally pro-LGBT. Oh yeah, man,

00:21:39.920 absolutely. That's our, we worship at the altar of LGBT because this woman knows that that's part of

00:21:45.760 the public religion. And she knows that if you contradict the public religion, you will be called

00:21:50.600 a heretic and you will be ostracized and you will be punished. And she knows that. So even this woman 1.00

00:21:56.260 who's defending her kid and saying, what you're telling me my 13-year-old son has to use the wrong

00:22:01.040 pronouns to, apparently this, one of the students wants the pronoun to be they or them, which,

00:22:06.980 which makes me wonder if the student has multiple personality disorder, that they think that they

00:22:10.940 have multiple people inside of them, that they and them, which is now being used as a singular

00:22:16.860 pronoun by very confused people. And the student said, no, I'm not going to do that. And now the

00:22:21.740 student's being punished. Are you against the LGBT? No, no, never, never. No, please.

00:22:27.080 Now, of course, if one is a Christian, a Jew, a Muslim, an agnostic person who just sort of holds

00:22:34.160 on to a traditional sexual ethic, they might have objections to some aspects of the LGBT,

00:22:42.020 LMNOP ideology and sexual ethic. For all of the history of civilization, pretty much, 0.88

00:22:50.220 people would have had legitimate objections to some of that sexual ethic. You are not permitted

00:22:55.340 to have those objections now. And we're being told this is in the name of neutrality and open-mindedness

00:23:01.360 and liberality. But of course, it's not. Really, what the state has said here is, no,

00:23:09.020 you do not have the right to your religion. You do not have the right to your sexual ethic. You do not

00:23:14.240 have the right to think what you think. Actually, it's the most closed-minded sort of regime that one

00:23:22.000 could possibly imagine. And now it's being taken to the height of absurdity. Then, of course,

00:23:27.260 they're going after the 13-year-old boys, which is preposterous. On the schoolyard, people say all

00:23:31.780 sorts of mean things. But the kids aren't even saying a mean thing here. They're being punished

00:23:35.140 not for telling a lie, not for being insulting, not for being cruel. They're being punished for telling

00:23:39.920 the truth. And people around the country are looking at this and they're saying, hey, whatever

00:23:44.080 it is, whatever the left is selling, we are not buying. If this is what leftism leads to, we're

00:23:51.300 out. See you later, folks. Speaking of sexual issues, the Women's March was this weekend or it 1.00

00:23:58.580 was supposed to be this weekend and a lot didn't really happen. This was all about, or the whole

00:24:05.540 point of it was supposed to be about defending abortion, okay? Well, we've got a really important 0.91

00:24:11.400 Daily Wire original documentary out, presented by yours truly, called Choosing Death, The Legacy of

00:24:15.900 Roe. If you want to learn something about this issue, I would not recommend going out and shouting

00:24:22.440 with the screaming pro-abortion people at the Women's March. I would recommend becoming a Daily 1.00

00:24:26.460 Wire member. Watch Choosing Death, The Legacy of Roe, to hear the facts and to hear the real stories

00:24:31.360 that the abortion regime has suppressed for generations. Here's the trailer.

00:24:35.540 Many times when we did this, as we started, patients would begin crying and protesting. But

00:24:57.140 once we had begun dilating the cervix and passing instruments into the uterus, it was too late

00:25:02.040 to stop.

00:25:09.060 I was handing hush money to women who we had left pieces of their baby. We had put these women's 1.00

00:25:17.860 lives in jeopardy. We had put their lives at risk and we were literally giving them a check

00:25:23.180 for $800. And for a poor woman, $800 is a lot of money. 1.00

00:25:32.600 I mean, there have been so many moments in the last decade plus of going undercover in abortion

00:25:37.160 clinics myself and seeing just heartbreaking things. Women vomiting in the hallway of an abortion

00:25:44.160 clinic crying out in pain. The late-term abortionist talking casually about how they would literally

00:25:51.040 leave a born-alive baby to die. Or if you deliver the baby in the toilet, then you pick it up and 0.63

00:25:55.800 stuff it in a plastic bag and bring it to us.

00:25:58.500 Babies are being born alive. And the backs of their necks are being slid. They are being drowned.

00:26:05.120 Um, their necks are being snapped. It's, it's happening more often than people want to think

00:26:12.060 about. These abortion facilities, these abortion providers, these doctors, they don't care about

00:26:20.520 these women. And you're just, you're realizing you're watching in front of your own eyes play out

00:26:26.000 America's greatest horror story, which is how we butcher children in the name of choice.

00:26:35.120 America's greatest assumption.

00:26:37.840 � of course!

00:27:05.120 The fight for life has all come down to this moment. Go to dailywire.com

00:27:10.100 slash choosing. Help us to expose abortion's full, gruesome truth. We'll be right back with 0.61

00:27:15.940 a lot more. The libs are losing right now. They're at least losing ground with the people

00:27:32.140 because we can see what they're doing. We can see what they're doing in the schools. That was first

00:27:36.400 open to us during COVID-19, during the lockdowns where parents could see on a screen what their

00:27:41.560 kids were being taught. That's because of social media, which though social media tries to suppress

00:27:46.880 some awful clips of the libs, they don't often totally succeed at that. It is because we're

00:27:52.160 seeing what their euphemistic abstract policies choice and affirmation, and we're seeing what

00:27:59.080 that means in real life. There's a video brought to us by our great friends over at libs of TikTok

00:28:03.580 of a queer surgeon. That's his name on Twitter, atqueersurgeon, this guy Blair Peters, bragging

00:28:13.620 about performing, quote, gender-affirming mastectomies, top surgeries for three young

00:28:18.460 adults and adolescents in a day sometimes. And by that, he means lopping off the perfectly healthy

00:28:24.740 breasts of teenage girls, of these young girls. He brags about it on video.

00:28:29.240 I'm here to clarify and speak some truths about what's happening with gender-affirming care in

00:28:34.140 adolescence. Most of the bills that are going through right now aim to limit this care for

00:28:38.400 people under the age of 18. And there's this false narrative that a lot of teenagers are having

00:28:43.080 gender-affirming surgery. Most of the teenagers that are having surgery are getting chest surgery,

00:28:48.500 and most of that is happening before 18 because these individuals didn't have access to early

00:28:54.080 enough medical treatment. So using surgery as sort of this false narrative to attack gender-affirming

00:29:01.020 care as a whole is not correct. The truth is that by limiting access to medical care with some of

00:29:06.680 these bills, you're actually going to cause more people to need gender-affirming surgical care. 1.00

00:29:11.160 That's his explanation. He's saying, look, so the reason that I'm lopping off the perfectly healthy

00:29:16.140 sexual organs of teenage girls left and right in medical experiments, the likes of which we've never

00:29:21.220 seen before in the world, we're doing this because they're not letting us pump five-year-olds full of 0.67

00:29:26.040 hormones and eight-year-olds full of cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers. So if they would just let

00:29:31.500 us do that, then I wouldn't have to lop off the perfectly healthy organs of the teenagers, okay? And that's

00:29:36.780 why it's so important for us to pass these laws that will ensure our right to sexually mutilate little 0.96

00:29:46.000 kids. That's what he's saying. In a just society, this guy would be in prison, okay? His name is,

00:29:51.220 what is his name? Blair Peters. In a just society, this man would not be practicing medicine.

00:29:56.440 He would not be bragging about, he posted this video. It wasn't some undercover investigation.

00:30:01.760 He himself posted this video to TikTok, which none of us would have seen because TikTok is all young

00:30:06.400 people and obviously skews to the left. And then lives of TikTok reposts it to Twitter and we get to see

00:30:11.900 it. This guy should be in prison. There should be laws against the sort of thing that he is doing.

00:30:17.740 And obviously, there should be laws against the sort of thing that he is advocating,

00:30:21.440 which is even more radical. And there's no throw your hands up in the air, guys. There's no

00:30:26.640 bury your head in the sand. There's no you do you. I'm not going to force my views on you.

00:30:31.120 Either we're going to live in a country that sexually mutilates little kids or not. The law is 0.98

00:30:36.360 going to say one thing or the other. Either we're allowed to do that or we're not allowed to do that.

00:30:39.960 I think we should not be allowed to do that. I think it's wrong. I think it's wrong because of

00:30:44.240 biology and because of philosophy and because of morality. And I think it's wrong in part because

00:30:50.420 we just all know it's wrong. And even people who are not the most educated or sophisticated or read

00:30:55.760 the latest journals, we just know it's wrong to do that, to lop the breasts off of teenage girls. 0.99

00:31:01.320 It's just wrong, right? And we know it. And we're right to know that. And we don't need to second

00:31:05.780 guess that. And we don't need to try to deny the intuitions that happen to be correct.

00:31:12.620 And we have the right in a self-government, if indeed we live in a self-government,

00:31:17.960 to pass laws against that and to criminalize this. And if this creep, if this pervert, Blair Peters,

00:31:23.140 decides to keep pushing this radical, destructive sexual ideology on innocent little kids,

00:31:28.840 then that guy should go to jail. And there's nothing wrong with that, okay?

00:31:31.740 Speaking of prison, we have to get to, I guess, probably the biggest story of the weekend,

00:31:37.640 this awful shooting in Buffalo. There was a guy who went in, shot up a supermarket in Buffalo. I

00:31:42.860 believe 10 people are killed. As always, whenever there is a shooting with a potential political

00:31:49.680 or especially racial motive, everybody goes in instantly and tries to find out why the guy is

00:31:58.300 actually on the other team. That's what always happens, right? The left goes in, they try to

00:32:02.020 make him on the right. And then the right goes in and tries to make him on the left. I guess,

00:32:05.260 actually, the first thing that happens is the media will go in and decide whether or not to cover the

00:32:09.540 story. And if the story corresponds with their predetermined political narrative, then they

00:32:16.060 will cover it. So if the story is about a white racist killing black people, they will cover it.

00:32:21.480 They will make that a huge national news story. The president of the United States, as in this

00:32:27.180 case, will go and visit and make a big media spectacle out of it. If the story contradicts

00:32:33.200 the narrative, if it is, say, a black racist killing white people or a black racist killing

00:32:38.020 Asian people, they will bury it. They will not talk about it. That's what happened with the 1.00

00:32:41.700 Waukesha killing. That's what happened with the New York City subway shooting. There were news stories

00:32:46.500 for about 24 hours. And then when the narrative did not fit the media's preconceived political

00:32:52.380 agenda, then they just buried that news story. The president didn't have time to go to Waukesha.

00:32:56.660 The president didn't have time to go to New York City, but now he will. Okay. That is just what

00:33:01.140 always is going to happen. I thought Candace Owens had the best take on this. She said,

00:33:04.180 don't forget, folks, the media don't care about white people. The media don't care about black people.

00:33:09.000 The media only care about power. And so that's going to affect all of the coverage here.

00:33:13.400 Then the next thing that happens is that everyone tries to go in and make the guy on the other side.

00:33:18.800 And so the left is obviously doing that to the right right now. And the right to some degree is

00:33:22.720 doing it with the left too. I read the purported manifesto of this killer. I don't see any reason

00:33:29.500 to read his thesis on why he committed this crime. I don't see any reason to say the guy's name. I don't

00:33:35.380 see any reason to give him the airtime and fame that he is obviously seeking. But I will go in just

00:33:42.700 to clarify things in terms of who he is and what some of his motivations were. Not what he was

00:33:48.500 necessarily hoping to achieve or his grand political thesis, but just what might have

00:33:54.300 motivated him. Because you're going to hear a lot of misinformation, certainly from the left,

00:33:58.540 but maybe some from the right too. So he says, are you a Christian? No, I do not ask God for salvation

00:34:04.180 by faith, nor do I confess my sins to him. I personally believe there is no afterlife.

00:34:08.000 So if anyone tells you this is about Christianity or Christian nationalism or Christian whatever,

00:34:13.120 that's not true. He says it's not true and he seems sincere. Are you a fascist? Yes. He says

00:34:18.460 he's a fascist. Are you white supremacist? Yes. Are you an anti-Semite? Yes. I wish all Jews to hell, 1.00

00:34:24.720 he says. This is more evidence that he's not Christian because if you're a Christian, what you want is for 0.99

00:34:31.460 Jews to accept Jesus and go to heaven and be in heaven forever with everybody, not just Jews, but

00:34:37.840 everybody on earth, you are praying for everyone's salvation. This guy's obviously not doing that.

00:34:42.780 He's wishing someone to go to hell. Are you a neo-Nazi? He says, I support neo-Nazism. Are you a

00:34:47.540 conservative? No. So they're going to say, this guy's a conservative. He explicitly says, I'm not a

00:34:51.660 conservative. Are you right wing? He says, depending on the definition, sure. Are you left wing?

00:34:57.540 Depending on the definition, sure. And this is a point that I always try to make. You always hear

00:35:03.400 the left invoking Nazis and Hitler. And they say, and they call everyone to the right of Hillary

00:35:08.780 Clinton, a Nazi and Hitler. And then sometimes you'll hear people on the right come back and say,

00:35:14.100 actually, Hitler was a leftist. Actually, Nazism is a left-wing ideology. It's not a right-wing

00:35:18.040 ideology. And the answer is, not everything breaks down on the left or right. The answer is left and

00:35:24.380 right, which is a political framework that comes out of the French Revolution and describes the

00:35:29.100 people who defended the church and the monarchy on the right and the people who defended the radicals

00:35:33.760 and the atheists on the left and the revolutionaries on the left. That doesn't apply to every single

00:35:38.780 political situation. Hitler and the Nazis had some aspects of their political movement that were

00:35:44.300 right wing, that had some aspects of the political movement that were traditionalists and had,

00:35:48.920 they were traditionalists themselves and had some aspects of their political movement that were

00:35:53.480 left-wing, the rampant atheism, the anti-Christianity, the modernism, the modern scientism. Those things

00:36:02.020 were the statism. Those things were aspects of the left. And so you really can't, I know that's the

00:36:08.720 least satisfying answer of all, but you actually can't categorize the Nazis or lots of political

00:36:14.820 movements on just the left or on just the right. He says, are you a socialist? Depending on the

00:36:20.600 definition. So he says, in a way, I actually am a socialist. You're not going to hear that from the

00:36:25.240 media. What does that mean? It means you can't neatly characterize this guy. Did you always hold

00:36:29.060 these views? He says, when I was 12, I was deep into communist ideology. From age 15 to 18, I consistently

00:36:34.680 moved further to the right. On the political compass, I fall in the mild, moderate, authoritarian

00:36:39.280 left category. So that's the category where you would lump Stalin or somebody in. Again, this is going to

00:36:44.220 contradict the media narrative, so you're not going to hear about it. And probably the media are going to

00:36:47.840 attack me for even reading this, but I think it's important to read this if you want to understand

00:36:53.120 what the motivations are. Not because this guy is some grand political thinker who should in any way

00:36:58.820 be emulated, but rather because we know that the media are going to lie about this, and so we want

00:37:03.820 to be able to form our own conclusions. If we had a trustworthy media, we wouldn't have to do that.

00:37:08.980 And then this might be the most interesting aspect here tactically. This Looney Tune says,

00:37:14.640 won't your attack result in calls for the removal of gun rights in the United States?

00:37:19.220 He says, yes, that is the plan all along. You said you would fight to protect your rights and

00:37:23.360 constitution. Soon the time will come. So he's saying, yes, actually the reason that I'm using

00:37:28.660 these guns, and in the manifesto, he posts all sorts of information about the guns, is to get gun

00:37:34.240 control. Because he says that if there's gun control, this will really irritate the people who

00:37:37.860 defend the Second Amendment, and this could increase the chances of some kind of war between the left and

00:37:43.460 the right or the races or whatever. That's really all I have to say about this. There's nothing left

00:37:52.660 to say that isn't said, obviously. It's very wrong to kill people. It's very wrong to embrace these

00:37:58.660 insane ideologies. But the rule of thumb, the rule of thumb that is really worth looking at here,

00:38:06.280 whether you find yourself being radicalized to the far left, or radicalized to the far right,

00:38:12.260 or radicalized to the far whatever if you can't place it, there is no end that justifies an

00:38:21.460 immoral means. We actually were talking about this last week, or the week before that. In parts of

00:38:29.200 this guy's ravings, he asked, will you regret this? And he says, I probably will. Yeah, I don't bear any

00:38:36.880 ill will toward these people individually. I don't think they've done anything wrong individually. But

00:38:40.720 my ideology that I've formed is such that I'm just going to suppress that moral intuition and

00:38:46.780 kill these people. Don't do that. People do this all the time. Usually it doesn't have these sort of

00:38:51.520 tragic, extreme consequences. But people do this sort of thing all the time. They believe that their

00:38:56.560 ends, their political ends justify immoral means. They don't. They don't. They don't. There is no

00:39:02.700 end that justifies an immoral. Almost all the time, when you commit an immoral action because

00:39:09.580 you think that there is some good end that that will result in, it doesn't actually result in a

00:39:13.460 good end. But even if it could, then the immoral means would not be justified. You judge the action

00:39:19.220 on the action itself. In a completely separate sort of version of this, a month or so ago, I was with

00:39:27.460 Ted Cruz at Yale. And some kid thought he was going to be funny. And he got up and he said,

00:39:31.620 to end world hunger, would you fellate another man? And he thought this was a really funny question

00:39:36.240 because if we answered no, then we look heartless because we don't want to end world hunger. And if

00:39:42.360 we answered yes, then we just said we would fellate another man on stage. And the kid would have thought

00:39:46.040 that was funny. But I actually didn't think this was a complicated question. The question was,

00:39:50.980 would you commit an immoral action for an ostensibly good end? And the answer is no. No,

00:39:57.300 don't. That's really simple stuff, folks. And we're living in the age, post Machiavelli,

00:40:02.200 we're living in the age where we judge everything by these abstract calculations and utilitarianism

00:40:09.000 and maximizing the greatest good for the greatest number even involves cracking a few eggs to make

00:40:12.840 an omelet. Uh-uh. That's morally idiotic. That's morally bankrupt. Just do the right thing. Okay?

00:40:19.480 Simple, simple enough. Now, the moral confusion that we've got is spread throughout the political

00:40:27.660 culture. It's spread throughout, especially throughout academia, which is ironic because

00:40:32.520 you would think the academics would have some sense of the reality of the situation because

00:40:36.880 they're supposed to spend their lives studying it. But that's not what really happens. Do you remember

00:40:41.600 some months ago, there was a chick who was a professor at Old Dominion University,

00:40:48.660 Alan Walker, a chick who now thinks she is a man or some kind of other sexual category.

00:40:56.240 And this woman wrote a book called A Long Dark Shadow, Minor Attracted People and Their Pursuit

00:41:02.700 of Dignity. The thing that got this gal in trouble is that she seemed to want to de-stigmatize 1.00

00:41:11.280 pedophiles.

00:41:12.480 I use the term minor attracted person or MAP in the title and throughout the book for multiple

00:41:17.840 reasons. First of all, because I think it's important to use terminology for groups that

00:41:23.200 members of that group want others to use for them. And MAP advocacy groups like Before You Act

00:41:28.860 have advocated for use of the term MAP. They've advocated for it primarily because it's less

00:41:36.000 stigmatizing than other terms like pedophile. A lot of people, when they hear the term pedophile,

00:41:41.740 they automatically assume that it means a sex offender. And that isn't true. And it leads

00:41:46.620 to a lot of misconceptions about attractions toward minors. I've definitely heard the idea

00:41:52.500 that you brought up, though, that the use of the term minor attracted person suggests

00:41:56.340 that it's okay to be attracted to children. But using a term that communicates who someone

00:42:01.360 is attracted to doesn't indicate anything about the morality of that attraction.

00:42:05.620 Okay. So it doesn't, and look, we need to call them MAPs because we need to de-stigmatize this.

00:42:10.500 Okay. And we, so Old Dominion University had the good sense to fire this chick because she's 1.00

00:42:15.100 defending pedos and she's trying to normalize pedophilia as the right has warned what happened

00:42:19.400 for many years. And we were called kooks and conspiracy theorists and slippery slopists. And now

00:42:23.380 that's what's going on. So just over the past few days, we get an announcement from Johns Hopkins

00:42:28.160 University, which is ostensibly a more prestigious university saying, we're excited to share that

00:42:34.360 Alan Walker PhD will be joining the Moore Center as a postdoctoral fellow on May 25th. So the reason

00:42:40.440 I mentioned Johns Hopkins is a more prestigious name brand university is this chick wasn't punished 1.00

00:42:45.620 for trying to normalize pedos. She got a promotion. Now, of course, I have a great deal more respect

00:42:50.160 for Old Dominion University than I do for Johns Hopkins. Old Dominion seems to know that it's not

00:42:54.880 right to normalize pedophilia. Johns Hopkins doesn't understand that, but it shows you how

00:42:58.800 deep the rot runs that in this sort of society, things that would have gotten you run out of town

00:43:04.920 on a rail not 10 years ago will now not see you punished. Now you will get a promotion because

00:43:11.240 all the incentives are in favor of that kind of disorder. Another thing happened over the past few

00:43:19.940 days that the media are not covering. You probably haven't even heard of it. Did you know that we're

00:43:26.080 at war? Did you know that the United States of America is at war? I didn't know that. I don't

00:43:34.420 remember the president declaring war. I don't remember the Congress declaring war. I don't remember

00:43:40.820 there being a vote on this. I don't remember there being a big national discussion about this.

00:43:45.620 Nevertheless, apparently we are at war according to the Democratic majority leader in the United

00:43:53.420 States House of Representatives who says this is a time of war and we are at war with Russia.

00:44:00.540 I wish we'd get off this and really focus on the enemy. I know there's a lot of politics here,

00:44:06.660 but we're at war. We need to produce energy. As I told you, Code Point is now sending 80%

00:44:15.520 reversing Asia supply to European supply because they need it because we're at war. But very

00:44:22.620 frankly, we're at war. A dictator has invaded without justification a friendly country,

00:44:31.600 the Ukraine, and they have fought back with extraordinary valor.

00:44:36.480 We're at war. Now, Steny Hoyer has been in Congress for about 7 billion years at this point.

00:44:41.380 What's funny is he undercuts his own argument, even as he's describing, he's saying a dictator,

00:44:45.320 Vladimir Putin, invaded a friendly country. Friendly to whom? Obviously not friendly to

00:44:50.720 Russia. Friendly, he means, I think, to the United States and to the West. Invaded a friendly country 0.99

00:44:55.700 without justification. I agree with that. I don't think the invasion was justified at all.

00:45:00.700 And Putin did that. He invaded the Ukraine. And because Steny Hoyer is so old and he's been around

00:45:07.420 so long, he doesn't realize that the Ukraine is not the name of the country. The Ukraine is a name

00:45:13.780 of a region of the Soviet Union, a part of Russia, actually. The Russians refer to Ukraine as the

00:45:19.660 Ukraine. The Ukrainians refer to Ukraine as Ukraine because Ukraine is its own sovereign country. So

00:45:25.300 this guy is so old. He's so confused. He's been around Washington for so long that he actually

00:45:30.100 undercuts his own argument for being at war, even while he's making it.

00:45:34.480 And then he has the audacity to come out and say, no, we, the country is at war and you didn't get

00:45:39.340 to vote on it. You representatives and you, the American people didn't really get to express your

00:45:43.440 views on it. And, but too bad we're at war because I say that we're at war. Do you want to go to war

00:45:49.600 with a nuclear former superpower over a territorial dispute that's been going on for a thousand years?

00:45:58.160 Do you want to do that? I'm not saying, if, if you even raise this question, you will be called

00:46:02.880 pro-Putin. You will be called a coward, a Neville Chamberlain. You will be called all sorts of names.

00:46:12.180 Do you, for the entire history of the Cold War, we managed to avoid direct war with Russia.

00:46:19.380 We fought little proxy wars, but we managed to avoid direct, saying that we were in a direct war

00:46:23.840 with Russia because of the threat of nuclear war. And now this old coot has decided in the twilight 0.94

00:46:31.560 of his political career that he is going to undo all of that and declare a hot direct war with a

00:46:38.100 nuclear former superpower that has lots and lots of missiles aimed at us right now over a territorial

00:46:43.560 dispute in Ukraine. Do you think that's a good idea? In, in order to think that's a bad idea,

00:46:51.040 you don't need to think that Putin's invasion is justified. You don't need to think that the

00:46:55.540 Ukraine should just roll over and, and let it happen. You don't need to think that Ukraine is

00:47:01.700 a bad country or that Ukraine is a good country or that any of, you don't need to think any, you just,

00:47:07.060 I think the American people still get some say in whether or not we go to war, right?

00:47:12.080 Russia is not attacking the United States. This is not an existential threat to the United.

00:47:17.660 So why is this happening? Because it actually ties into all the same things that we've been

00:47:23.460 talking about from the top of the show that we've been talking about for weeks now. Because the ruling

00:47:28.160 class and the democratic party is the majority party in the ruling class and the republicans are

00:47:32.480 kind of the junior partner. Some establishment republicans obviously play a role in that,

00:47:36.480 but they're the junior partner. The democrat party believes that they do not have accountability

00:47:40.300 to the voters anymore and they don't need to answer to the voters on anything, on life,

00:47:43.820 on the economy, on energy, on immigration, on, on even matters of war. The democrat views right now

00:47:50.860 are completely opposite to the majority of the American people. And you're seeing them really 0.79

00:47:54.960 underwater in all the polls. The democrats don't seem to care. Two explanations for that. Either

00:48:00.360 they're just extremely stupid. Could be, could be, I'm not putting it past them. Or they don't think it

00:48:07.000 really matters. They don't think that they're really going to be held accountable. On this point,

00:48:10.720 I just watched Dinesh D'Souza's new movie, 2000 Mules, about the rigging that took place in the

00:48:15.780 2020 presidential election. It's a terrific movie. You should go check it out. It doesn't make the

00:48:22.540 whole argument with totally definitive everything that the election was totally definitively stolen,

00:48:28.620 but it makes a pretty good argument, makes a pretty convincing one. I would recommend checking

00:48:33.080 that out. And I think it's a better explanation because I don't think that the democrats are just

00:48:36.180 complete idiots. I don't. Call me charitable. Say I've gone soft in my old age. I don't think it's

00:48:41.820 that. I think they feel comfortable that they are going to be able to broadly maintain their

00:48:46.300 political power. And so they don't need to be answerable to the voters on really any of these

00:48:50.580 questions. They're going to go out there and they're going to trans your kids and they're going 0.92

00:48:54.040 to flood your country with foreign nationals and they're going to destroy the value of your wealth 1.00

00:48:58.160 and they're going to raise the price of gas and they're going to kill your energy industry and

00:49:01.780 they're going to send you to war and you're not going to get to say jack diddly squat about it.

00:49:07.480 And now what they're saying, there is a report out that Vladimir Putin is sick. There have been

00:49:12.340 lots of reports on this. That Vladimir Putin is sick. He's got cancer. They say an oligarch close

00:49:17.580 to the Kremlin was recorded on tape saying the president is very ill with blood cancer. Some people

00:49:22.640 have said he has Parkinson's disease. People have been saying this for years. The evidence for it is

00:49:26.260 pretty weak. They'll say, well, his face is puffy. So that's how you know he's dying. And I don't

00:49:31.700 know. I don't really believe any of the so-called news coming out of this war in Ukraine because

00:49:36.240 there's propaganda on both sides. But let's say that it is real. I'm not saying he might be sick.

00:49:41.140 He might be terminally ill. If so, do you think it's a really good idea to heighten, to escalate

00:49:49.820 a war with that guy? Do you think that's really smart, a dying, desperate man? And if it's not real,

00:49:54.240 the reason I sort of dismiss the claims that Putin is sick, or I just don't focus on them when I'm

00:50:00.400 trying to think about this war is because it's so prideful to say that every other actor in the

00:50:07.820 world, all of our adversaries, they're just crazy. And they're just crazy. And there's no, I'm not

00:50:12.920 sure that they're just crazy. I think a lot of them are pretty sophisticated. And I think that

00:50:16.360 if we believe that they're crazy, we're going to put ourselves at a disadvantage because I think

00:50:20.760 there are plenty of rational reasons for Russia to invade Ukraine. They've done it many times throughout

00:50:25.160 history. And Putin's been talking about doing this for a very long time as well.

00:50:29.580 And I think that if we understand the rational reasons and not just write all of our adversaries

00:50:34.900 off as total nuts, it's going to give us a much smarter foreign policy. It's going to allow us to

00:50:39.800 better rebuff our adversaries around the world. And that's also going to allow the American people

00:50:45.820 to engage in a debate over how we want to act. But of course, the ruling class doesn't want to do 0.94

00:50:52.120 that. They don't want to hear from anybody else. They don't want to be told no. They don't want to

00:50:56.860 hear from any of us. And so that's the question. As we head into the midterm elections, will we still

00:51:02.100 be permitted to make our voices heard? Will we still be able to do that in the political process

00:51:06.540 or not? I hope we are. I hope there's still, I still have some hope. Hope's a theological virtue.

00:51:11.620 It's a requirement. It's going to take a lot of work. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael

00:51:14.860 Knowles Show. See you tomorrow.

00:52:05.740 Today on The Matt Walsh Show, we hijacked the Women's March this weekend to let all the attendees

00:52:09.200 know about my new film, What is a Woman? Today I'll play the full trailer

00:52:12.200 for you and we'll talk about why the film is needed and what we hope to accomplish with it.

00:52:15.660 Also, speaking of why the film is needed, three middle school boys have been charged with sexual

00:52:19.580 harassment for misgendering, quote unquote, a classmate. And the media vulture is immediately

00:52:23.680 set to work politicizing a mass shooting in Buffalo. Plus, the mayor of Chicago poses for

00:52:27.680 embarrassing photos in Texas while violence rips her city apart. And our daily cancellation,

00:52:32.380 an immigrant posts a sign in his Uber instructing passengers not to ask him where he's from because

00:52:37.180 that question makes him uncomfortable and sick. We'll talk about all that and more today in The Matt

00:52:41.880 Walsh Show.
