The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1008 - TikTok Deplatforms Michael Knowles

00:00:00.000 Anyone with two brain cells to rub together has known for a long time that BLM is a racket.

00:00:06.020 But even I did not appreciate just how much of a racket it is until BLM's latest tax filings came out.

00:00:14.420 We just learned that last year, BLM spent millions and millions of dollars buying expensive real

00:00:22.200 estate in California. I guess that part we already knew. We called it buy large mansions

00:00:26.220 after all that info came out. Now we have learned that BLM paid almost a million dollars

00:00:32.260 to co-founder Patrice Cullors' baby daddy, Damon Turner. Turner received $970,000

00:00:39.620 to help produce live events and to provide other creative services. The creative service in question,

00:00:47.160 I suspect, was co-creating Patrice Cullors' baby. The group also paid $840,000 to Cullors' brother,

00:00:54.520 Paul Cullors, for providing security services, presumably securing all of that money in his

00:01:00.680 bank account. This kind of political machine would have made Boss Tweed blush. The old Tammany Hall

00:01:06.920 Democrat machine had absolutely nothing on BLM. And we can laugh at it. And we can even be outraged

00:01:15.600 about it. But guess what? BLM still has about $42 million in net assets on hand. They've still got

00:01:24.440 an annual operating budget of $4 million, and they've got no end in sight to their donations.

00:01:31.340 The Democrat political machine is still operating at a very high level. The more things change,

00:01:36.820 the more they stay the same. I'm Michael Knowles. It's The Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:46.900 Welcome back to the show. I have two favorite comments from yesterday. It was a total tie.

00:01:51.780 I could not pick just one. The first one is from The Greco, who says the fact that Michael has to

00:01:56.720 explain why harvesting spinal fluid from the young to give to the elderly is a bad idea

00:02:01.000 shows just how far this world has fallen. I totally agree with that. And then second,

00:02:06.140 I thought this was a really perceptive comment. Brooke A. Crowe says, I believe Biden was supposed

00:02:12.520 to say alt-right MAGA Republicans, but now we have the best new gaffe. Remember the other day,

00:02:19.480 Joe Biden said, the real problem in the politics is, hold on, I want to say this right. Hold on,

00:02:25.220 I want to say this really clearly. Ultra MAGA Republicans, ultra MAGA. And you thought ultra MAGA,

00:02:32.000 first of all, sounds kind of cool. And second of all, you're telling me that the

00:02:35.480 Democrat campaign consultants spent six months coming up with ultra MAGA? Ultra MAGA,

00:02:41.000 what does that even mean? No, of course not. Biden was not going off of a script here. He was trying

00:02:45.540 to come up with it. He even told you, he said, hold on, I want to get this right.

00:02:48.540 He was obviously supposed to say alt-right MAGA Republicans. That was a phrase that the Democrats

00:02:53.660 had workshopped for years that had been testing very well. So he was supposed to say alt-right MAGA

00:02:59.000 Republicans. He couldn't say it. He said ultra MAGA Republicans, stupidly. They didn't want to

00:03:03.840 admit that he made a mistake. And so now they're stuck with ultra MAGA. Here we go, baby. We are

00:03:07.700 ultra MAGA. The Democrat Party is a machine. Right now I'm reading a wonderful biography of Chester

00:03:14.340 Arthur, one of my favorite presidents. He's not the most well-known. He's mostly known for his mutton

00:03:18.940 chops. But I'm reading about Chester Arthur. You know, in the 19th century, both political parties

00:03:24.280 operated with machines. Patronage, they'd buy votes, they'd shake down the government workers to work

00:03:31.860 for the party. And both parties did it. But the Democrats really perfected it. The most famous

00:03:36.020 political boss in American history is Boss Tweed. The most famous machine in American political history

00:03:41.540 is Tammany Hall. That was the Democrat machine. The machine is still operating. Okay. The machine,

00:03:48.800 we like to flatter ourselves that all the bad stuff that people did in the past in politics,

00:03:53.620 we've totally cleaned that up. That doesn't exist anymore. And now everything's operating above board.

00:03:58.120 And that's our democracy. Our sterling stellar, pristine democracy is operating just as it should.

00:04:03.780 But that's not the case. The Democrats are still, especially the Democrats. Republicans don't really

00:04:09.500 have a very well-functioning machine right now. But the Democrats do. And that would be BLM. And it's 0.60

00:04:14.540 a shakedown racket. And they shake down the big corporations. And they raise $90 million. And they

00:04:19.260 pay off their cronies. And they pay off the stormtroopers on the street. And they pay off just about

00:04:24.900 everybody. And it all operates in a way that you have the entire society working in concert to advance

00:04:31.180 a political message. The media, the news media, Hollywood, big tech, the universities, the bureaucratic

00:04:38.300 government, the elected government, they're all working together. The corporations, the way they're

00:04:43.780 working together is because of a coordinated, very effective machine. The sort of thing you would

00:04:50.100 have seen 150 years ago in American politics, you're still seeing it today. It makes me think

00:04:56.440 in a slightly separate way, but go with me for a second. It makes me think of the CIA. It makes me

00:05:02.420 think of some of the intelligence agencies. We today, we all look back and we remember all the shady

00:05:09.320 things that the intelligence agencies have done. They were invading foreign countries, toppling foreign

00:05:14.500 governments, performing all sorts of experiments on American citizens. Oh my, MKUltra, all these crazy

00:05:20.500 experiments. Gosh, can you believe they did that in the past? I bet they don't do any of that anymore

00:05:24.380 though. Right? That's what people will say. Yeah, you know, all of these institutions, they did a lot

00:05:28.840 of shady, dodgy things in the past, but they totally don't do any of that anymore. And it's all completely

00:05:33.680 cleaned up and different now. Why? What would ever make you think that, that these institutions that

00:05:41.740 have been doing things for a very long time, just suddenly overnight stopped doing all the bad

00:05:45.520 things entirely? I don't buy that. And if we don't buy that with, I don't know, an intelligence agency

00:05:51.540 or something like that, why would we buy it with a political party? The more things change, the more

00:05:56.720 they stay the same. So the way a machine works is you got a carrot and you got a stick. The carrot is

00:06:03.340 when you grease the wheels. The carrot is when you pay people off. The carrot is when you give people

00:06:07.500 favors and patronage. The stick is when you punish people for, for crossing your machine. And you're

00:06:13.060 seeing that right now. The new Democrat stick is accusing any conservative, anyone who in any way

00:06:21.040 calls out their plans of being a racist. The worst thing that you can possibly be called in America

00:06:26.880 today is a racist. And so they wield this very effectively and very loosely. One of the most

00:06:33.460 important strategies for the Democrats is mass migration. They have relied on mass migration

00:06:39.740 because statistically speaking, new immigrants and their kids and their grandkids are much more

00:06:45.740 likely to vote for Democrats than Republicans. And Republicans are making huge inroads with Hispanic

00:06:50.780 voters. That's true. And Republicans maybe in the future can make even more inroads. And Republicans

00:06:57.240 have long told ourselves that Latinos are, are Republican. They just don't know it yet. And we

00:07:03.360 say all these sorts of things, but the numbers just don't bear it out. Okay. Even with the massive

00:07:08.100 shift from Hispanic voters to the Republican party in recent years, it still gives a huge advantage to 0.89

00:07:15.300 Democrats. And if you, if you say that now, if you say that Democrats are obviously using immigration

00:07:22.120 policy to, to change the electorate, change the demographics of the country in a way that they

00:07:27.740 think will give them an advantage, you're called a racist, awful conspiracy theorist. This is what

00:07:31.480 Joy Reid just said the other day. They are, they are exploiting the shooting in Buffalo to attack

00:07:37.000 Tucker Carlson in particular, because he's the most prominent conservative television host, but really

00:07:41.960 all of us, everyone who has a conservative podcast, everyone who has a conservative radio show,

00:07:46.460 everyone who's an elected conservative or, or, or just down there at the grassroots level,

00:07:50.900 go into your local Republican meeting. You are being called a racist, terrible, evil, awful person

00:07:56.600 who's responsible for a shooting in Buffalo because you're calling out their strategy.

00:08:00.900 No singular voice in right-wing media has done more to elevate this racist conspiracy theory than

00:08:06.040 Tucker, who even with a new head writer spends night after primetime night injecting the rot from

00:08:12.900 the dregs of the internet directly into the veins of Republican voters. Are Tucker's writers

00:08:18.300 sourcing his show from 4chan? These are just questions. As the New York Times analysis last

00:08:24.720 month found in within 400 episodes, Tuckums has amplified the idea that a cabal of elites want 0.77

00:08:30.540 to force demographic change through immigration. That is replacement theory. Tucker's not some deep

00:08:35.780 thinker. He's clearly just channeling the gross stuff his viewers could easily find online,

00:08:40.940 then feeding it to Republican voters and Republican politicians as infotainment. And that feedback loop has

00:08:47.220 terrifying reach. That murderous lowlife in Buffalo wouldn't even have to listen to Tucker. He

00:08:52.260 wouldn't have to watch him at all to get it if they are essentially pulling from the same source

00:08:56.920 material. It's terrible, disgusting, evil, false lies, propaganda, the lowest of the low kind of

00:09:05.560 disinformation trash. This idea that elite people in our ruling class are using immigration policy to 0.53

00:09:12.320 change the electorate so that they can get political. Who would ever suggest such a thing?

00:09:17.360 It seems harder and harder to ignore that the echoes of replacement theory

00:09:21.280 and other racially motivated views are increasingly coming out into the open.

00:09:26.900 In a few years, we're going to be a majority brown country. White people will not be the majority in 0.98

00:09:31.620 the country anymore. This will be the first generation ever in American history in which 1.00

00:09:36.480 whites will be a minority of the generation at some point. As of 2007, every year, babies being

00:09:43.020 born in this country, whites now are the minority. In 2044, everyone is going to be a minority. As the 0.93

00:09:48.600 demographics change, as white people become the minority in the country, which is coming. 0.99

00:09:53.340 Demographics is destiny. Demographics is destiny. Demographics is destiny, right? The country is

00:09:58.900 changing. I've been saying it here. Other people have been saying it here for years now, even before

00:10:03.700 Donald Trump. The demographics is destiny. The white population is declining for the first time 0.99

00:10:09.640 in history in America, while the number of multiracial Americans have more than doubled.

00:10:15.020 So we live in a country where the demographics are changing. It's becoming less white.

00:10:18.440 Correct. Okay. You'll be announcing that we're calling the 38 electoral votes of Texas for the

00:10:23.440 Democratic nominee for president. It's changing. It's going to become a purple state and then a blue

00:10:28.280 state because of the demographics, because of the population growth.

00:10:31.540 So this goes on for like another minute. Okay. This goes on and on. And you see Julian Castro,

00:10:37.780 he's like, look, and it's going to totally give us the win. It's going to give us Texas, which was

00:10:42.440 one of the red estates. And it's because of people outside of Texas, by which we mean Mexico,

00:10:46.800 by which we mean Latin America. And then Joe Scarborough, he says, demographics is destiny.

00:10:51.740 Whoa, cool it with the racist great replacement theory there, Joe. All right. I don't need this much

00:10:57.240 racism in my morning. It's all the Democrats who have been spreading this, bragging about it for

00:11:02.840 years. Those are just the people on TV. I could pull up countless articles from left-wing think

00:11:08.600 tanks, from left-wing newspapers, not only observing this fact, but explaining how this fact is due to

00:11:15.040 mass migration, which is a very specific policy from very specific lawmakers who are Democrats for a

00:11:21.040 very specific purpose. They're cheering it on because they think that it will give them an electoral

00:11:25.400 advantage. And it's our fault because they told us what they were doing. They're doing a thing

00:11:31.000 to put themselves in power, they think, permanently. Then they're telling us that they're doing that

00:11:35.940 thing. And then when we repeat to them the thing that they just told us, they call us racist for

00:11:40.620 repeating it. Doesn't make a lot of sense. Gets my blood boiling that I'm being gaslit in this way.

00:11:46.760 And when I want to relax, you know I got to check out my Allform. Right now, go to allform.com

00:12:58.600 the carrot, which is the machine on the left pays you off and they give you all sorts of patronage.

00:13:03.660 Then there's the stick, which is they call you a racist and they ostracize you when they threaten you

00:13:08.420 and they can run you out of your job and run you out of your school. And the most basic way they do

00:13:14.120 it is they de-platform you. If you say things that contradict the prevailing orthodoxies of the ruling

00:13:19.640 class, you can be censored and de-platformed. That's what this fight on Twitter is all about.

00:13:25.100 That's why Elon Musk is potentially going to buy Twitter. He's either going to buy Twitter or destroy

00:13:30.600 Twitter because he says conservatives are not being permitted to speak in the public square.

00:13:36.540 Big tech is the new public square. Self-government only works when people can speak to one another.

00:13:42.200 That's how we govern each other. So this is an existential threat to our republic. This has hit me

00:13:47.340 personally. I have not lost my Twitter yet. I have not lost my YouTube channel yet, although people have

00:13:52.820 tried. Although there have been some strikes on my channel when I say things that are true. But if those

00:13:59.700 true things contradict Dr. Fauci or contradict Joe Biden, this becomes a big problem on Facebook also.

00:14:04.360 But it's not any of those platforms that I've lost. I have been kicked off of TikTok. I barely

00:14:11.880 knew that I was on TikTok. I started a TikTok. I would occasionally post clips from my show

00:14:18.020 to TikTok. I did not use it because I am a grown man. But sometimes I would have members of the team

00:14:25.220 post clips to TikTok because that's where the youth are. I have not accessed my TikTok in weeks.

00:14:31.760 And just the other day, a member of my team comes running into my office and says,

00:14:34.820 Michael, you've been deplatformed on TikTok. Why is that? What have I done? Little old me,

00:14:41.120 me whom everyone loves so. I had not posted anything. There could not have been any new

00:14:45.440 offending content on there. I didn't receive any message as to why I was kicked off.

00:14:49.480 I had previously posted videos mocking Dr. Fauci. Not even mocking him personally,

00:14:56.700 just mocking the lies that we had been told, the contradictions from the public health

00:15:00.720 establishment, from Joe Biden. And then some weeks later, poof, I was kicked off. So you can't find

00:15:05.540 me on TikTok right now. If you want to see me twerking and jiggling and whatever else people are

00:15:09.520 doing on TikTok, I'm sorry. You're going to have to tune into this show. You're not going to be able

00:15:13.740 to get it on TikTok. I'm not so worried. That was not my main platform. Although it does matter,

00:15:20.120 actually. I'm sort of being glib about it now. But it does matter because TikTok is where the

00:15:25.380 young people are. And people spend a lot of time on TikTok. There was a study that showed that

00:15:28.820 on average, Twitter users spend about three to six minutes a day on Twitter. TikTok users who

00:15:34.100 are, who skew much younger, spend about 52 minutes a day on TikTok. So if you want to reach people,

00:15:38.780 if you want a really powerful platform, you go to TikTok. The fact that one can be censored and

00:15:43.880 deplatformed off of TikTok for any reason or no reason at all, just because they don't like the cut

00:15:49.140 of your jib or because you're contradicting the ruling class's propaganda of the week,

00:15:55.060 that is very scary because that reshapes the way that our political order works. If it reshapes the

00:16:01.020 way we can talk, it reshapes the way our political order works. This is why it's so important to

00:16:06.460 reassert some control over Twitter. And we're going to do it any way we can. Reassert some control over

00:16:11.080 Google any way we can. Reassert some control over Facebook and yes, over TikTok. I think it would

00:16:16.860 probably be better if we in the political community, if we conservatives could get together

00:16:21.940 and go in and say, no, we're going to assert our rights as Americans and take this power back from

00:16:27.840 left-wing Silicon Valley oligarchs. But we can take what we can get, all right? If Elon Musk

00:16:34.080 is the best way for us to go in and retake some of this political control, then that's the thing that

00:16:41.120 we're going to do. And maybe that means Musk buys Twitter. Maybe that means Musk just destroys

00:16:47.360 Twitter. Maybe that means Musk never wanted to buy Twitter in the first place. And this was all

00:16:52.240 a long troll to destroy the company, which increasingly it seems like it was. Elon Musk

00:16:57.220 tweeted out the other day, quote, 20% fake spam accounts, while four times what Twitter claims

00:17:04.940 could be much higher. My offer was based on Twitter's SEC filings being accurate. Yesterday,

00:17:13.180 Twitter's CEO publicly refused to show proof of less than 5% bot accounts. This deal cannot move

00:17:20.060 forward until he does. So do you see what's happened here? All the while we've been waiting,

00:17:25.820 all of Elon's cryptic messages, he's quoting poetry. He's suggesting he'll maybe join the board. He won't

00:17:32.160 join the board. He'll make a tender offer. He doesn't need to make the tender offer. He's going

00:17:35.500 to go. And what is he doing? They said, if the board rejects your bid, Elon, what are you going

00:17:42.920 to do? He said, I've got a plan B. I'm not going to tell you what that is now. Well, plan B or C or D

00:17:48.380 might not even be buying Twitter. It might just be destroying Twitter. Because he's saying, look,

00:17:53.120 I made my offer of whatever it was, $44 billion or something, based on the idea that Twitter has less

00:18:00.260 than 5% bot accounts. Now, does anyone believe that fewer than 5% of the accounts on Twitter are

00:18:06.460 bots and spam? I don't. I'm just a regular Twitter user. I think that number is way higher. If you

00:18:12.880 use Twitter, surely you're going to think that number is way higher. Elon Musk uses Twitter a lot,

00:18:16.980 and he looked into it enough to potentially buy Twitter. You don't think that Elon Musk maybe thought,

00:18:22.960 huh, I think Twitter's official filings on the spam bot accounts, they're probably a little low.

00:18:27.700 No, I think he probably suspected they were a little low. And so he goes in and he makes the

00:18:33.680 offer, and then it goes all the way along here. And then he says, wait a second, I'm looking over

00:18:38.100 your Securities and Exchange Commission filings here. And, you know, it's looking to me like you

00:18:43.360 might have been dishonest on some of your filings with the government. It's looking to me like you

00:18:48.140 might be committing some fraud against your investors here. Prove to me that fewer than 5% of your

00:18:54.320 accounts are bots and spam. And the CEO of Twitter, for now the CEO of Twitter, Parag Agrawal,

00:19:00.120 said, no, we can't do that. I wish we could, but there's no way. We don't have any access to show.

00:19:05.880 And Elon just responded with the little feces emoji right underneath. He said, ah, I'm pretty sure you

00:19:11.360 can, but you don't want to because what it's going to show is that you guys are perpetrating a fraud.

00:19:16.280 Whatever Elon does here, whether he buys it and opens up speech for conservatives a little bit,

00:19:23.520 at least to some degree, or if he just destroys Twitter, either way, that will be a positive

00:19:29.220 development. Either way, I cheer him on. I don't know which is funnier. I actually can't decide which

00:19:34.620 is funnier. It's a longer term joke if Elon runs Twitter and gets to troll from Twitter.

00:19:40.940 But it is a spectacular, magnificent joke if he just does all of this to destroy Twitter for

00:19:50.120 perpetrating a fraud. He would be destroying it, not just to troll them and get his kicks.

00:19:56.120 He would be doing it with a purpose. He actually would be exposing a fraud. He actually would be

00:20:00.020 improving speech in the public square. That would, it's, as I frequently say, it is not enough to own

00:20:07.340 the libs. It's good to own the libs. I'm pro-owning the libs, but you, one needs to own the libs with

00:20:11.540 purpose. You don't want to be frivolously owning the libs. Why is Elon doing all of this? Is he

00:20:18.780 sincere? What's his end game? A lot of people have pointed out that Elon Musk is a lib. He's a

00:20:24.600 Democrat. He's an Obama Democrat. He voted for Obama twice, I believe. Well, now Elon says he's

00:20:31.360 officially a Republican. He tweeted out, or I don't know if he tweeted this. I don't know how much he's

00:20:35.980 using Twitter these days, but he at least stated, I have voted overwhelmingly for Democrats

00:20:40.480 historically. Like, I'm not sure. I might never have voted for a Republican, just to be clear.

00:20:46.740 Now, this election, I will. He posted a meme the other day of him standing still to the left of

00:20:55.120 center. You had the, you had the left of the political aisle and the right of the political

00:20:58.380 aisle. He was left of center. And then the leftists ran so far left and the right didn't

00:21:05.840 really move. The right actually moved a little bit to the left. And so now all of a sudden,

00:21:09.080 Elon, having not moved at all, is center right. That's what happened. And so is Elon a Republican?

00:21:15.180 Is he being sincere? I suspect he probably is. I think there are a lot of people who would

00:21:20.380 have called themselves liberals or leftists even, or center left, who now are firmly on

00:21:25.600 the right because they hold such radical positions as don't chop off little kids' genitals, 1.00

00:21:30.820 such radical positions as don't kill little babies one minute before they're born, such

00:21:35.660 radical positions as, hey, maybe a handful of woke bazillionaires shouldn't completely

00:21:41.300 dominate our political discourse. And the establishment is trying desperately to counter

00:21:47.720 that narrative. So Sonny Hostin on The View insists, no, no, Elon, you're wrong. No, no,

00:21:52.600 most Americans, you're wrong. Actually, it's the Republicans who have moved much further to

00:21:57.040 the right. They are playing to the base. I mean, if you look at all the studies,

00:22:01.560 the Republican Party has moved further to the right than Democrats have to the left.

00:22:05.800 There's a Pew Research Center analysis that finds that on average, Democrats and Republicans are

00:22:10.820 farther apart ideologically today than at any time in the past 50 years. And that ideological divide

00:22:17.100 breaks down to the Republican Party being an extremist party. And the Democratic Party actually,

00:22:23.020 as you just mentioned, Sarah, moving more to the center.

00:22:26.100 But isn't the problem that is the primaries, because you can't get through these primaries

00:22:30.560 unless you are extreme, especially right now in the Republican Party.

00:22:34.300 That claim that Sonny Hostin just made is so ridiculous, it almost isn't worth responding to.

00:22:40.440 I will respond to it because it's going to be a common refrain in this election.

00:22:44.060 On what issue have the Democrats moved to the center? On what issue? On abortion? No,

00:22:49.880 they went from safe, legal and rare to abortion on demand without apology up to the moment of birth

00:22:53.800 and maybe afterward. On immigration? No, they went from we've got to keep illegal aliens out of our 1.00

00:22:58.040 country to we need completely open borders and three million migrants coming in per year,

00:23:01.780 two million of whom are illegal. On what? On sexual issues? No, we went from maybe teach sex ed

00:23:07.460 in high schools to we need to trans the kindergartners. I don't think so. On what issue? 0.91

00:23:13.020 On what issue have they become on free speech? No, they went from let's tolerate free speech to

00:23:17.940 let's censor all the conservatives. On what? They've moved radically left on all of the issues.

00:23:22.020 What about the Republicans? Where have they moved right? On abortion? They're basically the same.

00:23:26.240 Maybe they've moved a little bit more pro-life on abortion, but basically they're the same.

00:23:29.920 On guns? No, they're pretty much the same on guns. On taxes? If anything, they've moved to the center

00:23:35.060 on taxes and economic issues. On the social issues? On marriage? Oh my gosh. Many Republicans have just

00:23:42.780 bought a complete radical redefinition of marriage given to them by the radical left. I don't think

00:23:46.980 there. On what issue? On if the Republicans have moved at all, and I suppose they have,

00:23:51.920 they've moved to the center. And this is not just, well, the leftists say that it's the other guys

00:23:57.760 who moved and it's the conservatives say it's the other guys. No, you just look at the issue by issue.

00:24:01.180 Tell me where I went wrong. I don't think I've said anything wrong. I'm giving specific examples. I can

00:24:06.480 prove my argument. Sunny Hostin is just spouting platitudes because her party has moved radically 1.00

00:24:11.380 to the left. Now, we have a phenomenal new system in place such that we can talk to one another.

00:24:21.320 Not just where you write into me in the mailbag. I like that too. But where you can submit your

00:24:27.300 voice mailbag. How do you do it? It's on the website. You go to the Daily Wire website. You record

00:24:33.840 your voice mailbag just on your phone. You record it, you know, just on a little phone recording app.

00:24:39.660 You scroll down on the website. You click on the Michael Knowles show right there on the page.

00:24:45.220 Scroll on down. You click mailbag. Okay, great. And then ordinarily, you can just, there you go.

00:24:51.440 You pop up that email. Okay. Then you add your audio file. Boom, MP3. Boom, send. And then I get

00:25:00.860 to hear from you on the show. So do that. We're going to be doing that on Friday. It's going to be a lot

00:25:03.580 of fun. Also, we have released a three-part docuseries called Fauci Unmasked. You remember that?

00:25:09.660 Hosted by yours truly, exposing the great, exalted, most powerful politician in the country,

00:25:16.040 Dr. Anthony Fauci. You've got to go check out that film. Take a look at the trailer.

00:25:23.060 He's the highest paid employee in our federal government. And beginning in the spring of 2020,

00:25:29.060 Dr. Fauci began to set national policy that affected the way that 330 million Americans lived

00:25:35.400 their lives. For goodness sakes, I'm telling you, wear a mask, keep social distancing. There's

00:25:41.500 nothing political about that. But who is Anthony Fauci? People who have conspiracy theories. Those

00:25:48.480 are people that don't particularly care for me. In this short series, we will do what the

00:25:53.800 establishment media have refused to do. We will give you an unvarnished look at the career of the most

00:26:00.040 powerful politician in America, Dr. Anthony Fauci. Don't you think it's time that you step down and

00:26:05.680 let someone else who has a more effective message? Actually, no.

00:26:09.400 So we've got the three-part series, Fauci Unmasked. We've got another documentary that I'm hosting

00:26:23.260 that would be The Legacy of Roe, Choosing Death, The Legacy of Roe. That's also available now. Join

00:26:48.780 more. It's the conservatives who have moved radically to the right, right? It's not that the

00:27:05.520 left has moved radically to the left. It's that the right wing has moved radically to the right,

00:27:09.940 right? Like, for instance, right now, if you object to little kids, little boys being told

00:27:19.140 that they're little girls and dressed up like little girls and being encouraged to mutilate 0.67

00:27:22.820 themselves, if you oppose that in any way, that makes you a far right extremist, right? There's a

00:27:28.220 mother who should probably be arrested, certainly have her children taken from her, 1.00

00:27:32.360 who posted a video to TikTok, dressing up her little boy in dresses and encouraging him to

00:27:38.680 pretend to be a girl. You love it, and you want it, and you picked it out, but you don't want it for 1.00

00:27:46.420 school. Can you tell me why? Because last time I wore a dress to school, everybody called me a girl.

00:27:53.840 What makes a shirt for a boy or a girl? Nothing. 0.84

00:27:57.360 So do you want this? You picked it out. I do want it. You want to wear it all the time at home, but not at

00:28:04.940 school, right? Yeah. Tell me about that. I want to get made fun of, and that's what they always do when I wear

00:28:11.020 pink and stuff. Do you think bright, pretty colors and dresses and sequins and jewels and golds, all the

00:28:19.340 things that you always want to wear? Do you think that's your innermost you? It is. Well, how are you

00:28:27.440 going to be your innermost you when we live in a place that people think clothing belongs to

00:28:33.580 particular gender? So the decision to dress up like a little girl, that was obviously just this

00:28:40.740 little boy's personal decision, right? He's not being coached. He's not being coached right before

00:28:44.720 our very eyes. Hey, you, you love wearing sequins and dresses, right? That's what you really want

00:28:50.760 to do, right? You want to do that thing. Uh, yeah. Okay. Yeah. And you, but why won't you wear the

00:28:57.500 dresses to school? Uh, cause the kids call me a girl when I do that. Cause I'm dressing up like a 0.79

00:29:01.820 girl and that's weird. Uh, yeah. And it's, that's, that's bad that that happens, right? And you, do you,

00:29:08.060 tell me how much you want it. Tell me how much you totally want it. And it's not just

00:29:12.220 me, a sick, very sick, twisted pervert mother abusing her child and, and grooming. That's what, 1.00

00:29:20.040 that's what the grooming is, right? When we use the phrase grooming and groomers,

00:29:24.340 people think it has only this very narrow application to adults who are trying to have

00:29:30.340 sex with children, but it has a much broader application than that. It is adults who are

00:29:35.880 inculcating a sexual sense, a sexual desire, a sexual identity, a sexual orientation in

00:29:42.080 little kids. This is why we call the teachers groomers when they were having private sexual 0.77

00:29:47.360 conversations with kids that they didn't want their parents to hear about. It's not just because

00:29:52.420 the teachers wanted to have sex with the students. Maybe they do. I don't know. Maybe some of them do,

00:29:56.640 but it's because it's still extremely creepy and psychologically damaging and accomplishing much

00:30:03.280 of the same damage. If you're just cultivating a disordered sexual identity in a kid, like when this

00:30:10.400 mother shamelessly, abusively puts her kid on TikTok without, we censored his face. She didn't 0.97

00:30:17.200 censor his face. That was, I, I, when I saw this video going around the internet, I said, okay,

00:30:20.900 I want to use this video. We have to talk about this, but don't you dare put this kid's face, you

00:30:25.720 know, you, our editors have to censor that because if his parents are not going to look out for him,

00:30:31.280 at least, at least we will to, to the extent that we're exposing what his parents are doing.

00:30:35.420 And she's, and she's just there with that phone. Okay. And you like this and you want to wear the

00:30:41.360 dresses and you want to live out whatever sick fantasies I've got in my head, right? Says the

00:30:45.980 mother. And if you oppose that, you're the radical. She's not the radical because the left has moved to

00:30:51.840 the center, according to Sonny Hostin. You're the radical. If you think it's wrong to do that to

00:30:57.280 little boys, you're the radical. If you, if you believe that babies before the moment of birth

00:31:05.200 should not be killed, that it's wrong to kill babies. There was a pro-abortion rally at the

00:31:10.620 Arizona state capitol. Two sides here. You've got the pro-life side quietly demonstrating, praying,

00:31:18.280 being polite, being normal. And you've got the pro-abortion side screaming until they're blue in

00:31:22.780 the face. Which side seems more radical?

00:31:24.900 You guys want to sign up? You want to sign up? We're poor women in the room. Women's rates begin in the room. 1.00

00:31:44.780 Women's rates begin in the room. 0.98

00:31:47.320 Code Hanger Dodger. Code Hanger Dodger. That means your mom stuck a cute hanger up her 1.00

00:32:00.240 and tried to get rid of you, but she failed. So if you just listened to that clip, you get

00:32:08.180 probably 80% of what was going on there. And if you watched that, you get the whole thing.

00:32:14.500 You probably get about 150% of the distinction between pro-abortion side and the pro-life side

00:32:21.420 here. On the pro-life side, you get really the one person you can see is this normal looking kid

00:32:27.760 wearing a USA hat, like a MAGA type hat, smiling and looking normal. He kind of reminds me of that

00:32:36.400 kid who was wearing the MAGA hat in Washington, D.C., Nick Sandman, when all the crazy screaming

00:32:41.460 leftists are banging drums in his face and yelling, and he's just there kind of vaguely

00:32:45.100 smiling, bemused. That's what that kid, the pro-life kid, was doing. And then the pro-abortion

00:32:50.480 side, screaming, shrieking, saying all sorts of profanity, hideous, vile things with crazy

00:32:58.440 hairdos and not looking like they've got their lives in order, okay? Not looking like these

00:33:05.060 are the most grounded people on earth. But we're the radicals, right? We're the crazy extremists.

00:33:12.120 The kid in the hat, smiling, pro-America, USA, MAGA, just normal. He's the crazy extremist.

00:33:22.840 And the people shrieking about coat hangers and how pro-lifers should be aborted and with all sorts of

00:33:30.060 physical, eccentric, you know, clothing and tattoos and piercings and hair colors. They're

00:33:36.400 the normal ones. They're the ones who, they've actually moved to the center, according to Sonny

00:33:40.960 Hauston. Who are the extremists? It's not just these crazies on the street. I am not just strawmanning

00:33:46.500 this. We are talking all the way up to the most elite levels of the Democratic Party right now.

00:33:51.760 Now, Ketanji Jackson is about to become the new judge on the Supreme Court. Ketanji Jackson has not

00:34:00.780 really played a role in the court yet, obviously, but she was confirmed. She's set to replace 0.99

00:34:05.840 Justice Breyer after the current term ends. Ketanji was interviewed by the Washington Post and asked what

00:34:12.640 she thought about the protests outside of the homes of the judges after the leak of the potential opinion

00:34:20.520 in Dobbs versus Jackson Women's Health. This is a layup. This was an easy question.

00:34:26.540 Well, it's two questions. One, do you condemn the leak? Two, do you condemn protests outside of the

00:34:32.580 homes of the federal judges? Which is in violation of federal law? And Ketanji says, you know, I just

00:34:39.340 can't comment on that. You know, I just, I just don't know. I don't know. Specifically, she said,

00:34:46.960 if leaking the draft opinion was a good thing or a bad thing, she said, I can't answer that.

00:34:53.500 Every judge who's given an opinion on this so far has answered that and said, this is terrible. It's

00:34:58.880 eroded the trust of the court. This is a really awful thing. She says, yeah, I can't answer that.

00:35:03.480 I don't know. Yeah, maybe, maybe Brett Kavanaugh is going to F around and find out. I don't know.

00:35:09.480 Yeah. Oh, there are people screaming and threatening his family and yelling outside in the middle of the

00:35:14.360 night while his little children try to fall asleep. Yeah, I don't know. I can't answer if that's good

00:35:18.580 or bad. Hmm. I don't know. Find out. I don't, I don't have any comment, she says, on the protests

00:35:25.260 outside of the homes. I can't answer whether it's good or bad that a clerk destroyed the trust of the

00:35:29.940 court and leaked the opinion early and caused the protests in the first place. Before this woman was 0.99

00:35:36.400 confirmed, I put on my Noel Stradamus hat, took out my crystal ball, and I said this woman would be

00:35:43.340 the most radical person in the history of the Supreme Court. As I just looked at her record,

00:35:49.100 I looked at her intellectual pedigree and her political pedigree, and I looked at the way she

00:35:58.220 was conducting herself during the hearings. She wouldn't even say what a woman was. She laughed

00:36:02.940 at the suggestion that she could define what a woman is. I said, haha, I'm not a biologist. I said,

00:36:07.520 we haven't seen this kind of radicalism. Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan, even Sonia Sotomayor

00:36:13.640 have nothing on this chick. And what do we see? What do we see? She says, oh, yeah, well,

00:36:20.760 you're going to protest outside the homes. I don't know. Well, you want me to condemn that? I can't,

00:36:23.920 I can't condemn that. You're going to leak the opinion? I can't condemn that.

00:36:28.340 Speaking of the court, there was a big win at the Supreme Court yesterday for conservatives,

00:36:31.640 and it's not getting a ton of play. And it actually comes from Ted Cruz,

00:36:34.740 my intrepid co-host on Verdict, on the Verdict podcast. Senator Cruz brought a case to the

00:36:42.240 Supreme Court. I think it's called Cruz versus FEC. So his name is right there in the case.

00:36:47.880 And he brought this case because John McCain had a very stupid campaign finance law.

00:36:53.240 And the stupid campaign finance law proposed to set limits on the way that big money enters into 0.94

00:37:00.820 politics. That was theoretically the idea. That was at least what the marketing team

00:37:04.680 said about it. But that's not really what it did. Most of what the McCain-Feingold campaign

00:37:08.400 finance rules did was just to protect incumbents. This is why the incumbents voted for it. It's

00:37:13.560 because it protected them from challenges to people going out and running and draining the swamp.

00:37:18.580 So it was a really swampy piece of legislation. And lots of it has already been struck down by the

00:37:24.640 courts. And even at the time that George W. Bush signed it into law, Bush said, yeah, I don't really

00:37:29.760 know if this is constitutional or not, but whatever, the courts can decide, which was an abdication of his

00:37:34.040 duty as well. The president of the United States has a responsibility to defend the constitution too.

00:37:38.720 So I thought that was weak stuff from George W. Bush as well. Well, now it's been struck down.

00:37:44.120 Specifically, what was struck down here was a provision that would allow political candidates

00:37:49.960 running for office to reimburse themselves for money that they had lent to their campaign.

00:37:55.740 So when you run for office, especially if you're a challenger candidate, no one knows you,

00:37:59.740 you don't have any name recognition. A way to even get yourself in the running is to donate money to

00:38:05.260 your own campaign. So we're not talking about gazillionaires here. Gazillionaires don't need

00:38:10.780 to pay themselves back. If you've got $50 million and you loan your campaign half a million bucks or

00:38:15.640 a million bucks or 10 million bucks, you don't care if you ever get that money back. It can go to the

00:38:20.020 government and who, it doesn't matter. And we're not talking about people who are, who don't have any

00:38:23.700 money. We're not talking about because they wouldn't be able to loan themselves money in the first

00:38:27.660 place. We're talking about doctors. We're talking about lawyers. We're talking about professionals

00:38:31.760 who do well, who have money, who could make a big loan to them. Let's say they could loan their

00:38:35.840 campaign, I don't know, $300,000, $400,000. According to the McCain rules, you can only pay

00:38:42.840 yourself back $250,000. And so it was basically just a way to cap challengers at what they were

00:38:47.740 even able to donate to their own campaign. So it would be harder for them to win. That was just

00:38:52.300 struck down. This was, the reason I really like this case is because it's, it's not just a left

00:39:00.900 versus right or Republican versus Democrat. This case really was a drain the swamp kind of case.

00:39:06.500 This, this one, this will hurt political corruption in both parties. It gets back to that machine

00:39:11.740 politics we were talking about at the very top of the show. This is a way to, well, not to get money

00:39:17.600 out of politics because you, you can't get money out of politics. That's not possible. And usually

00:39:22.580 like McCain-Feingold, usually the laws that purport to get money out of politics actually

00:39:27.720 preserve the money in politics. Actually, because big politics always attracts big money,

00:39:33.580 all that's going to happen is when you pass laws about money in politics, the money just goes

00:39:38.820 elsewhere. The money just kind of hides itself or the money is, is really only accessible to a

00:39:44.680 certain protected political class. Like the gazillionaires who don't need to pay themselves

00:39:49.040 back, like the incumbents who have huge war chests and not the challengers. So this was a big win,

00:39:53.520 good win for conservatives. We're also now looking at the Pennsylvania Senate race,

00:39:57.940 which is extraordinarily close. There were, I told you yesterday on the show, the Pennsylvania Senate

00:40:03.680 race was going to give you a hint of what the future of the Republican party looked like.

00:40:10.400 There were three top candidates, Dr. Oz, the daytime TV talk show host, who seemed like a pretty liberal

00:40:18.580 candidate actually, and was very recently attacking pro-life laws around the country from the GOP and

00:40:25.000 has done shows promoting transgenderism and kids and all sorts of madness. You had David McCormick,

00:40:32.580 who seemed like kind of a business Republican, not, you know, not the most rock ribbed stalwart conservative,

00:40:38.320 but not a total squish either, but, you know, just kind of a centrist, moderate business Republican.

00:40:43.880 And then Kathy Barnett, who was a political commentator. She didn't have a ton of money. 1.00

00:40:48.140 We didn't know a ton about her. She was probably the newest to the political scene, 1.00

00:40:52.660 at least at the national level. And she was the most conservative in terms of her positions.

00:40:59.060 We still don't have an exact answer on, on who won the race. It was very, very close. Kathy Barnett

00:41:04.500 was a distant third. So the rock-rubbed conservative in the race really fell down.

00:41:10.340 She'd surged in the polls and then she fell down. McCormick, as election night was concluding,

00:41:16.160 McCormick was leading. Dr. Oz was in second place. But we're talking about by tenths of a percentage

00:41:21.960 point. So knowing the way that they count the votes in Pennsylvania, it seems unlikely that they're

00:41:26.280 going to instantly come out with an answer. That battle in Pennsylvania, though,

00:41:32.380 will also show you a little bit more about where the party is. Ted Cruz endorsed David McCormick.

00:41:39.500 Donald Trump endorsed Dr. Oz. Some more right-wing conservative groups seem to go for,

00:41:47.900 between Oz and McCormick, seem to go for McCormick. Sean Hannity went for Dr. Oz. But a lot of the

00:41:54.820 conservative base really doesn't like Dr. Oz. So you're seeing, Trump has a decent record right

00:41:59.900 now on the endorsements in Ohio, for instance. Cruz endorsed Josh Mandel. Donald Trump endorsed

00:42:05.480 J.D. Vance. J.D. Vance won. So what's going to happen in Pennsylvania? What you are seeing right

00:42:10.320 now in these races, even if you don't really care about the Republican primaries and even if you

00:42:14.640 don't really care about 2022, what you are seeing play out is a shadow campaign for 2024. Whose

00:42:20.240 endorsements matter? Who is going to have the right favors going in? Where it is, we haven't even talked

00:42:25.380 about the endorsements that Ron DeSantis has made. We haven't even talked about the endorsements that

00:42:28.880 other potential, that Mike Pompeo has made, that Nikki Haley has made, that other presidential

00:42:33.200 candidates are making. That is part of the race that's playing out right now. Now, a huge issue in

00:42:40.940 Pennsylvania is energy. Energy is a really big issue. And you know that the two parties have totally

00:42:49.000 different views on energy right now. What we are led to believe, you want to talk about grift, you want

00:42:55.720 to talk about machine politics, you want to talk about disingenuous political rhetoric. What we are

00:43:01.560 told is, if you support fossil fuels, if you support, if you in any way oppose solar, wind, green energy,

00:43:13.360 renewable electric cars, if you oppose that in any way, you are destroying the earth, you're going to

00:43:18.080 kill all of mankind within, well, it used to be nine years. Now it's, what, it's probably seven or

00:43:25.040 eight years at this point. It's the same kind of argument you see in Buffalo. They'll say, if you

00:43:30.140 in any way call out Democrats' immigration strategy, then you're responsible for a massacre in Buffalo.

00:43:35.260 If you in any way oppose Democrats' radical energy reforms, you're responsible for the destruction of

00:43:41.080 the earth. John Kerry, the White House climate czar, has come out and said that the United States

00:43:47.700 needs to transition to electric cars, transition, meaning you lose your current car and you have to get

00:43:53.560 an electric car. We need to transition at 20 times the current rate.

00:43:58.140 This year, we have to implement those promises. And what it means is we have to decarbonize

00:44:03.980 the power sector five times faster than we are right now.

00:44:08.480 We have to deploy renewables five times faster than we are right now. We have to transition to electric

00:44:18.580 vehicles about 20 times faster than we are now. And we have to fully transition to a resilient net zero

00:44:26.080 economy faster. We have to do, we must transition. You all need to go buy Teslas.

00:44:32.780 And if you're a pauper and you can't afford the Model X for $96,000, well, at least you dirty peasants can 1.00

00:44:43.540 get the Model S, can't you? Isn't that one's only about $45,000? That's chump change. So you have to buy

00:44:52.080 your Tesla and you have to put solar panels on your roofs. And you have to do, if you don't do all of

00:45:01.520 this and buy from our companies, then the world will end. Why are they doing this? Why are they

00:45:07.960 doing this? Are the libs promoting this particular segment of the energy industry out of the goodness

00:45:17.020 of their heart? Or because they genuinely believe the world is going to end in seven years? Or because

00:45:22.300 they haven't noticed that all the predictions they've made on the climate and the environment

00:45:26.860 for the last 50 years haven't happened. And they keep changing the predictions radically,

00:45:31.460 sometimes to the opposite of the predictions they had just previously made. Or do you think

00:45:34.680 it's because of that? Or do you think it's because the Republicans own oil and gas and the Democrats own

00:45:41.420 electric? With a little bit of an exception of Elon Musk, who used to be a Democrat, who's now seems to

00:45:46.520 be transitioning to a Republican. Everyone's transitioning these days. What do you think it is? I think,

00:45:52.180 call me a cynic, call me jaded. I think it might have a little bit more to do with the latter. I

00:45:56.740 don't think the Democrats really care all that much about the climate. I don't think they're really

00:46:00.620 worried about the world ending in 10 years, most of them, the elite Democrats. I think it's a grift.

00:46:06.640 I think it's a regular old hustle, just like all the rest of their politics. And I think that they've

00:46:12.720 got a crooked relationship with the green energy companies. You saw this with the scandal during the

00:46:17.760 Obama administration. There was a major environmental company scandal. The name of

00:46:22.680 the company now escapes me. Oh, it's going to drive me crazy. I'll Google it right after the

00:46:27.120 show. It was such a, one of the, it's hard because there were so many scandals during Obama. But it

00:46:32.280 was a bigger one. It was a green energy company where the federal government was funneling a ton

00:46:36.000 of money into it. And it wasn't doing anything. It was just a grift. And it was a payoff. And it was

00:46:40.160 patronage for loyal Democrats. And you're seeing this throughout that whole sector.

00:46:44.600 The cleanest energy you could possibly have would be nuclear energy. That would be the best way to

00:46:51.500 reduce carbon. It would be extremely efficient. The Democrats don't endorse that because that's

00:46:55.820 not part of the Democrat grift. It's not part of the machine. So they don't, they don't get behind

00:46:59.200 that. Fossil fuels for that matter are extraordinarily abundant. There are ways to use them that are

00:47:04.240 cleaner and cleaner every single day. There are ways to capture carbon if that's really something that

00:47:08.760 you want to do in your politics, if you're really so afraid of any kind of warming. So there are ways to

00:47:14.340 do that. But they don't like it because fossil fuels are for the Republicans. If you want to

00:47:19.860 understand what political debates are really about at the level of policy, you are going to have a much

00:47:26.620 clearer understanding if you first look to the money than if you first look to the philosophy.

00:47:32.800 Maybe there are some philosophical considerations too. But if you want to understand BLM,

00:47:36.520 how are you going to understand it? Are you going to understand it simply by reading Kimberley

00:47:40.400 Crenshaw and Derek Bell and critical race theory? Or are you going to understand it by looking at

00:47:46.360 where the money's going? And you're looking at Patrice Cullors paying off her baby daddy. And

00:47:50.560 you're looking at Patrice Cullors paying off her brother. And you're looking at the woke corporations

00:47:54.560 paying off BLM. And you're looking at the Democrat politicians hustling and raising money to bail out 0.51

00:47:58.920 the BLM. What do you think is going to make more sense? What do you think is a greater motivator

00:48:03.660 for these politicians? There's one last story, speaking of fossils, that I have to get to. I've

00:48:08.900 been meaning to get to it for a few days. Huge discovery in China. China has discovered a 66

00:48:14.720 million-year-old dinosaur embryo fossil. Oh my goodness. May 8th, 2022, just happened just a week

00:48:22.180 or so ago. Scientists from the Fujian Science and Technology Museum and the China University of

00:48:27.140 Geosciences revealed the discovery in a study published in the journal BMC Ecology and Evolution.

00:48:32.680 This new dinosaur embryo fossil comes from the Jiangxi province. At least two of the eggs contain

00:48:39.240 identifiable hadrosauroid embryos. I don't know if I'm pronouncing that correct. Hadrosauroid? I don't

00:48:45.960 know. Described here for the first time. And my only question for them is, how do you know?

00:48:53.580 I guess I have two questions. One, how do you know? What do you mean it's a little baby

00:48:56.580 hadrosauroid? I thought it was just a clump of cells. I have been reliably 1.00

00:49:02.560 informed by the libs that until the moment of birth, life forms are just their little

00:49:07.840 meaningless stupid clumps of cells. So my first question is, how do you know what it is? How

00:49:11.940 could you identify it? 66 million years old. You can't even identify a human baby that was

00:49:16.340 conceived two months ago. And then my second question is, well, who cares? Who cares? It's

00:49:21.380 just a meaningless, pointless clump of cells that can just be thrown in the trash. So why does that

00:49:25.720 matter? Hold on. You're telling me that a 66 million year old clump of cells from a dead lizard

00:49:30.680 is more important than a human baby, a little human baby? That you're also calling a meaningless

00:49:38.180 clump of cells? That doesn't seem, I think they're kind of giving away the game a little bit, folks.

00:49:42.240 I think the logic is falling apart. Now, whether the extremely effective political machine will fall

00:49:49.600 apart as easily as their logic, that is another matter. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael
