Ep. 1010 - Elon Gets The #MeToo Republican Treatment
Summary
Elon Musk has been a Republican for less than 48 hours and already they are me tooing him. That's right, they are accusing him of sex crimes. I have a rule in politics: I do not take seriously any allegation against longtime public figures, especially against political figures, and especially in heated political moments that concerns events that supposedly took place years prior.

Elon Musk has been a Republican for less than 48 hours, and already they are Me Too-ing him.
00:00:07.860
That's right, already they are accusing him of sex crimes. I think that's a new record.
00:00:13.560
Elon Musk has been around for half a century now. He has been in public life since the late 1990s.
00:00:21.260
He has been prominent in public life for what, 20 years now? And just now, just 24 hours after
00:00:29.980
announcing that he's become a Republican, the establishment media run a shocking story that
00:00:35.800
six years ago, Elon Musk propositioned a masseuse or something. Elon actually predicted that this
00:00:42.920
would happen a couple of days ago. He said, expect the political attacks against me to escalate in
00:00:46.880
the coming months. And because the establishment propagandists are so predictable, we get this
00:00:52.520
first one almost immediately. All of a sudden, for whatever reason, whatever reason, who knows,
00:00:58.120
six years after the alleged incident, this poor beleaguered masseuse has just seen fit to bring
00:01:05.860
this traumatic experience to light, just coincidentally, while Elon is in the midst of a hostile takeover of
00:01:11.700
a major speech platform on an explicitly anti-leftist political platform. What are the odds? What are the
00:01:18.500
odds? I have a rule in politics. I do not take seriously any allegation against longtime public
00:01:26.540
figures, especially against political figures, and especially in heated political moments that
00:01:32.940
concerns events that supposedly took place years prior. The reason is, one, if the allegations were
00:01:40.080
legit, they likely would have come out years prior. They would have come out in the past. But also, two,
00:01:46.300
because the allegations are so obviously cynical, so obviously opportunistic at least,
00:01:52.400
even in the unlikely event that whatever is alleged did actually happen, it is only coming out now to
00:02:00.480
shut the accused person up or to intimidate the accused person or to bully the accused person or to
00:02:05.600
stop him from effecting whatever kind of political change he's trying to bring about. In the past, when
00:02:11.280
the establishment had more credibility, these sorts of campaigns worked. Today, I'm not so sure that they
00:02:17.580
do. If anything, frankly, I think they might have the opposite effect. I was previously somewhat on
00:02:22.780
the fence about Elon Musk. I like the Twitter stuff. I like the trolling. Don't love plugging your brain
00:02:27.580
into the matrix. So I don't know. I was a little bit on the fence. Now that he is being hit with some
00:02:32.520
cynical sex allegation by the worst people on earth, by the news media and the political hacks in the
00:02:38.160
establishment, I am far more likely to support him. In a world of censorship and media manipulation,
00:02:44.240
it can be hard to judge a man by his words and even by his actions, but you can still judge a man by
00:02:50.780
his enemies. And right now, Elon has all the right ones. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles
00:02:55.640
Show. Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment yesterday is from Gamer Dad, who said,
00:03:09.880
I knew Joe was lying when he said, world leaders walk up to me. No, Joe, nobody walks up to you
00:03:16.440
except the guy selling ice cream. That's true. Joe Biden can be in a room ostensibly of his own
00:03:20.980
supporters and no one wants to talk to him. We saw that very sad video. And then everyone's talking
00:03:25.740
to Obama and then Biden goes up to try to say like, hey, hey, Obama, you know, I'm the president
00:03:29.400
and Obama shoes him away. Says, get out of here. Is it any wonder that Biden is doing such a poor job
00:03:35.860
handling our economy? One reason that you might want to consider birch gold. Right now, text Knowles
00:03:41.240
to 98, 98, 98 because it finally happened, folks. The Fed has realized the dire straits that our
00:03:47.480
economy is in thanks to our loose monetary policy. Turns out, you're going to be shocked to hear this.
00:03:52.300
You can't just spend trillions of dollars every year with absolutely no repercussions. So to play
00:03:57.420
catch up, the Fed has been raising rates and plans to raise rates seven times this year. You are already
00:04:04.640
seeing those ripple effects in the housing market as people's buying power diminishes.
00:04:08.820
Have you considered what could happen in the stock market if the economy stalls out? Do not wait for
00:04:13.340
that to happen. Take some of your profits from the stock market right now and solidify them with gold
00:04:18.620
from birch gold. Throughout history, gold has maintained its value better than any other
00:04:22.640
investment in the world. I personally have very much enjoyed investing in precious metals and gold
00:04:27.080
specifically. Text Knowles, K-N-W-L-E-S, to 98, 98, 98 for a free zero obligation info kit on holding gold in a
00:04:34.400
tax-sheltered retirement account. You probably wish that you did this about a week or two ago,
00:04:38.160
a month ago maybe, but it's not too late. Do it now. With countless five-star reviews and an A-plus
00:04:42.960
rating with the Better Business Bureau, I trust the professionals at Birch Gold. So text Knowles,
00:04:47.380
K-N-W-L-E-S, and secure the gains that you have made while you can. Go check out Birch Gold today.
00:04:54.360
Okay. The Elon sexual harassment allegation has so many layers to it. So what the libs are claiming
00:05:04.340
now is, what all of Elon's political opponents are claiming, which is to say the libs, they're
00:05:10.140
saying, listen, the only reason that Elon warned people that there were going to be a lot of political
00:05:16.640
attacks against him, the only reason he came out as a Republican, the only reason he's championing free
00:05:20.520
speech and all this is because he knew, he knew that these allegations were going to come out.
00:05:24.540
So he got ahead of the story. Okay. Yeah. Maybe the timing is a little coincidental for me because
00:05:32.140
it's not as though Elon Musk woke up one day and just out of the blue said, I'm a Republican now.
00:05:37.080
And then the allegations hit. Then you could imagine, okay, maybe he was tipped off that the
00:05:41.220
allegations were going to come out, that Business Insider was going to run this story. And so he just
00:05:45.600
pulled a publicity stunt, but Elon has been setting the stage for this for well over a month now,
00:05:52.560
more than, well, more than a month. And he's been palling around with the Babylon Bee and he's been
00:05:57.380
cozying up to conservatives for a very, very long time. You're telling me that Business Insider was
00:06:02.200
just working on this story the whole time and that Elon Musk is now putting 44 billion on the table
00:06:07.840
and opening himself up to the Securities and Exchange Commission, opening himself up to all sorts of
00:06:14.260
political attacks to get ahead of this story about propositioning a masseuse. I don't buy that. I
00:06:19.700
don't buy that for one second. So there's obviously the political layer to it. At the most superficial
00:06:25.500
layer, this is about a woman who's seen the light and says she needs to accuse Elon Musk six years
00:06:30.020
after something very vaguely insinuated maybe happened. Then the deeper level is this is obviously
00:06:36.060
about politics. This is obviously because Elon is going against the liberal establishment. So they're
00:06:40.220
going to turn all the guns on him and they're going to use their most frequent method,
00:06:42.960
which is me tooing him. Okay. There's actually a deeper level potentially even than that. There
00:06:48.520
was a story that came out last night from the Twitter account Unusual Whales, which posts financial
00:06:54.760
activity. And they pointed out that coincidentally, the day after this Business Insider story on Elon
00:07:02.200
Musk was published, there was a large put option that was expiring. So there was a, the day after this
00:07:08.160
story was published, there was an opportunity for a big investor to bet against the Tesla share price.
00:07:18.860
There was an opportunity and it was, that was it, that, that was going to be the day that it was going
00:07:22.520
to happen. That, uh, the, that someone could make a lot of money if the Tesla share price went down.
00:07:30.220
A lot of money, an unusual amount of money. And then just coincidentally, the day before that's to
00:07:36.320
happen, Business Insider drops this story. It gets even crazier because the CEO of Business Insider
00:07:41.800
has been accused of securities fraud and I think barred from the industry.
00:07:47.600
Business Insider did the same thing with Barstool, right? Do you remember, do you, I think it was
00:07:52.740
Business Insider that broke that story. Someone in the press broke that story about, about Dave
00:07:56.680
Portnoy and Barstool Sports and they, they metooed him as well. And oddly enough, the same situation was
00:08:04.480
happening. There was an opportunity the following day to make a ton of money if the price of Barstool
00:08:10.380
went down. So what exactly is going on here? Now, unusual whales did not make any specific
00:08:16.380
allegations here, whether against Business Insider or anyone else, just observing that the timing is
00:08:21.660
a little coincidental. In the same way that the political watchers were observing that the timing
00:08:26.900
was a little coincidental of these allegations, so too the financial insiders were looking at that
00:08:32.100
as well. When you're trying to figure out what is this about and you've got in one place virtue
00:08:38.740
and then in the next place ideology and then in the next place politics and then the next place money,
00:08:45.000
what is this about, this big new political event? You're usually safer betting on the last two,
00:08:51.000
okay? A lot of times what happens is the woke corporations or the hack politicians, they will
00:08:56.700
feign virtue, they will signal virtue, they will speak in terms of ideology. But what a lot of it
00:09:04.500
comes down to is cold hard jockeying for power and cold hard cash. Seems to be what's going on here.
00:09:09.940
I don't think it'll work though. It might hurt him. I mean, any allegation is damaging. That's why
00:09:14.720
people still lob them. But I don't think it'll really hurt Elon with his base. I think we see through
00:09:19.680
this kind of stuff. Frankly, I am more inclined to support him now that I see that the entire media
00:09:24.800
establishment are going after him. Think, okay, well, he's got the right enemies. He's got my
00:09:28.920
enemies, so I guess he can't be all bad. This is the usual tricks that we see. You are seeing right
00:09:36.380
now a whole lot of tricks coming out from the media establishment, especially on this term du jour.
00:09:42.580
This is the current thing this week that everyone's talking about in the media establishment to club
00:09:47.540
Republicans on the head. They're talking about the great replacement theory. And the great
00:09:52.060
replacement theory is this idea that people in politics are, on the left, are using immigration
00:09:59.640
policy to transform the electorate of the United States so that they can get an electoral advantage.
00:10:06.180
I don't know exactly what's conspiratorial about this or theoretical. I mean, they've been bragging
00:10:10.620
about doing this for 20 years, but they can't seem to get totally on message now. So on CNN,
00:10:16.680
they're talking about this as though it were some crazy, insane conspiracy theory that only the most
00:10:21.080
racist, bigoted, kooky Republicans are repeating. And it's such a terrible problem. We've got to
00:10:26.300
censor people from repeating it. Over the weekend, Adam Kinzinger highlighted the number three Republican
00:10:34.720
in the House, Elise Stefanik's use of the white replacement theory in an ad. He wrote,
00:10:39.040
did you know that Elise Stefanik pushes white replacement theory, the number three in the House GOP?
00:10:44.220
Liz Cheney got removed for demanding the truth. The Republican leader should be asked about this.
00:10:49.220
It's not just Elise Stefanik. If you watch Fox News, this is the mainstay of their primetime hours.
00:10:56.940
Tucker Carlson discusses it in sometimes euphemistic form, but not really that all that euphemistic.
00:11:02.980
What does this country do about the way in which this idea of white replacement has just become part
00:11:09.460
of our politics? It's a really, really tough question because we don't have, you know,
00:11:15.040
legal instruments in this country to restrain radical speech in that way.
00:11:21.200
We don't have it. And he goes on, he says, look, I'm not calling for it. I like free speech,
00:11:25.200
but we just don't have the opportunity when people spread the replacement conspiracy theory.
00:11:33.880
Unfortunately, this misinformation, disinformation spreads. So that's the line coming from CNN.
00:11:39.780
A little bit confusing because the line coming from the New York Times right now is the opposite.
00:11:45.620
The New York Times, very same day, published a column saying, not denying great replacement theory,
00:11:51.760
but saying, no, great replacement theory is happening. It's always been happening and it's a
00:11:56.000
very good thing. You know what's a really good thing? Good, fresh American meat like you get from
00:12:01.400

00:13:18.480
The libs need to get on a list serve or something. They need to sit down, have a meeting, get on the same
00:13:24.180
talking points. Because they are telling us simultaneously that great replacement theory
00:13:29.100
is fake. It's the most racist, kooky, conspiratorial thing anyone's ever heard. And also that it's real
00:13:37.640
and has always been happening and it's a great thing. This column just came out by Brett Stevens,
00:13:42.140
who used to be kind of conservative and now I don't think one would really call him a conservative.
00:13:46.800
And he's at the New York Times, so there you have it. He writes, it's the first paragraph of the
00:13:50.840
column. In the broadest sense, what goes by the name replacement theory, the idea that American
00:13:56.020
elites are conspiring to replace so-called real Americans with immigrants from poor countries
00:13:59.640
is merely a description of the American way, enshrined in tradition codified by law,
00:14:05.080
promoted by successive generations of American leaders from Washington to Lincoln to Kennedy
00:14:10.860
and Reagan. He goes on, blah, blah, blah, blah. What all of this says is that the phenomenon of
00:14:18.400
replacement writ large is America and has been from the beginning, sometimes by force, mostly by choice.
00:14:26.820
What the far right calls replacement is better described as renewal.
00:14:33.760
Points for half honesty. His account of history is a little weak, though he makes some interesting
00:14:39.280
points in the column. It is not the case, as I think Brett Stevens is insinuating and as Joe Biden
00:14:44.640
said infamously and explicitly that America has just been an endless stream of migration from the
00:14:51.140
very beginning. That's not true. We've had laws throughout the history of our country that almost
00:14:55.720
shut down immigration for large periods of time and greatly restricted immigration and controlled
00:15:00.140
immigration so as not to upset political balances in the country for long periods of American history.
00:15:06.300
And then over the last 50 years, we've completely gotten rid of those restrictions,
00:15:09.980
opened the floodgates to an immigration regime specifically designed to give advantage to Democrats.
00:15:17.220
So that's just what's happening right now. Now you're seeing record immigration,
00:15:20.360
not just at the legal level, million legal immigrants per year, but at the illegal level,
00:15:24.220
two million illegal immigrants per year. So three million total who skewed dramatically Democratic.
00:15:30.360
Now, we are seeing some movement of Hispanics into the GOP camp, but overall,
00:15:34.140
the effect is undeniably in favor of Democrats. And Brett Stevens says this is renewal. This is renewal.
00:15:43.160
So, which is it? I'm really torn here because if I said on this show, if I said on this show,
00:15:50.440
what Brett Stevens has said, if I said on this show, what Joe Biden has said, if I said on this show,
00:15:56.960
what countless libs have said on MSNBC, on CNN, Joe Scarborough says Demographics is Destiny, CNN,
00:16:06.320
the New York Times, the Washington Post, all saying yes, even left-wing political scientists that have
00:16:13.160
been saying this now for 20 years, that yes, immigration policy is going to doom the Republican
00:16:17.720
Party. The point of the immigration policy is to specifically to reduce the percentage of white
00:16:23.700
voters in America because we, the Democrats, believe that if we have more Hispanic voters in
00:16:28.220
America and from other regions too, but especially Hispanic voters, that that is going to give us a
00:16:32.620
permanent majority. If I said that, if I made those substantive claims right now rather than just
00:16:38.480
merely discussing them in historical context, my Wikipedia page would be changed and they would
00:16:43.720
say Michael Knowles is a far-right crazy conspiracy theorist, white supremacist, bigot, neo-Nazi,
00:16:50.440
the guy's worse than Adolf Hitler. If I just made the exact same claims that Joe Biden, now I guess
00:16:58.620
Brett Stevens, CNN, MSNBC, all the rest of them. Michael Anton at the Claremont Institute has described
00:17:06.960
this bizarre phenomenon that we're living in, which goes actually even a lot deeper than a
00:17:12.300
replacement or immigration or anything else. We're in a phenomenon now where the left gets to say
00:17:17.280
something and then we repeat the same thing that the left said and the left gets angry at us for
00:17:25.380
repeating it. The comparisons to 1984, I think, are tedious sometimes, but here is a place where it's
00:17:32.780
probably apt. We are being forced to lie. We are being forced to deny what we see with our own lying
00:17:39.300
eyes and hear with our own lying ears. All the while, the left smirks and contradicts itself and brags
00:17:45.680
about it and boasts because they have got the power. Which is it? I don't know. It's not happening and it's
00:17:53.400
good that it is. This is what we've heard from the beginning on so many of these issues. Critical race
00:17:59.980
theory is not being taught in schools and it's good that it is. Transgenderism is not being pushed on
00:18:04.760
little kids and it's good that it is. The replacement theory, replacement migration is not happening and it's a
00:18:11.260
good thing that it is. It's a renewal because of all you stale, disgusting Americans. That you guys are
00:18:17.140
bad. The people who were born in America, you guys are bad. You're disgusting. You're lazy. You're just
00:18:22.660
awful. You're stale. You're decaying the country. So we need renewal according to the New York Times.
00:18:27.420
So they say. Why don't we trust the media? With such honesty as they've shown, why don't we trust the
00:18:35.260
media? Glenn Greenwald, who is, I always thought of him as a leftist, left-wing journalist, but he's
00:18:42.100
said some things now that the right really likes. He put together a phenomenal supercut of probably my
00:18:47.820
least favorite host on MSNBC. I find her to be the most grating and the most dishonest and the most
00:18:53.400
strident. Nicole Wallace. Nicole Wallace on MSNBC has the audacity to accuse conservatives of spreading
00:18:59.940
misinformation. Here is just a sliver of the kind of misinformation you see, specifically from her,
00:19:12.620
Donald Trump to now investigate a conspiracy theory about COVID coming from a lab in Wuhan.
00:19:18.620
This theory needs to be investigated, which is what President Biden is doing. Hunter Biden's laptop
00:19:23.520
reveals emails. We shouldn't look at it as anything other than a Russian disinformation operation.
00:19:28.640
The Hunter Biden laptop material is genuine. The murder of a police officer. Officer Brian Sicknick
00:19:34.720
was killed in the line of duty. They beat a Capitol Police officer to death. Officer Sicknick died of
00:19:40.760
natural causes. The Steele dossier. It may be dirty, but it ain't fake. Obviously, the Steele dossier is
00:19:46.360
discredited by far action. I mean, this is the lunatic response to what is a very rational,
00:19:51.960
evidence-based, fact-based investigation. FBI pleads guilty to doctoring email. What the report shows is
00:19:57.580
something that won't be surprising to people that have spent a lot of time in the federal
00:20:01.560
government. The report left former officials aghast. The FBI is exonerated today. It doesn't
00:20:07.760
vindicate anyone at the FBI who touched this. They are all absolved of any wrongdoing. The activities
00:20:12.900
we've had here don't vindicate anybody. The Trump administration cleared peaceful Black Lives Matter
00:20:17.760
protesters so the president could take a photo in front of a church. We did not find evidence that
00:20:23.220
federal agents used CS gas. This goes on for minutes. And this is just one little cut that
00:20:30.440
one journalist made about one of the establishment propagandists on just one of the establishment
00:20:35.800
propaganda networks. Just one. And I know, if you're listening to this show, you probably have
00:20:41.680
a healthy skepticism of the establishment media. But even I, grizzled, jaded as I am,
00:20:48.980
watching that back to back to back to back. Even I was shocked. The lies that just, just this one
00:20:56.060
woman on just this one network is spreading. And the crazy part is, they all do it. They all do it.
00:21:04.040
It's not just her. And it's not just that network. It's all of them. And they do it all the time.
00:21:09.860
And the crazier part is, tonight, people, even if they saw that clip, tonight, people are going to go
00:21:15.460
home. Or they're going to be walking in the airport, more likely, if they're watching CNN or
00:21:19.160
MSNBC. And they're going to watch that. And the people in the clothing with the serious faces are
00:21:24.000
going to go there. And they're going to say a bunch of BS again. And a lot of people are going to believe
00:21:28.180
it. This is why, this is why I don't give any credence to the Elon thing. I don't know whether
00:21:36.540
Elon propositioned a masseuse or not. I'm not even particularly interested in this alleged incident
00:21:43.900
that happened six years ago. Because once you see it, you can't unsee it. Once you see that the
00:21:52.660
establishment press are not there to report the news, once you see that the establishment press
00:21:58.300
have no regard for truth, and they actually seem to have a pretty strong contempt for truth,
00:22:04.460
when you see that they are only there to advance the Democrat party line, the liberal political line,
00:22:10.560
the left, the establishment, use whatever word you want, you become so repulsed.
00:22:19.560
It's even sort of depressing. Because we all wish that we could live in that time that we were told
00:22:25.360
existed in the past, though it probably never really did exist, where we could trust our newsmen,
00:22:30.040
where we all just, we, listen, you're entitled to your own opinion, but you're not entitled to your
00:22:33.680
own facts, okay? And we can all agree on some basic things. No, that doesn't exist. That doesn't
00:22:38.520
exist. The institutions that are most demanding of our trust are the most corrupt. And so I don't
00:22:45.820
believe a damn word these people say. And every time one of them parrots some line about how bad
00:22:52.520
Elon Musk is, my admiration for him increases. My likelihood of supporting him increases significantly.
00:23:00.320
The fake news is running amok. And it's at the very same time that the government is trying to
00:23:07.060
establish new censorship boards to censor people for saying the opposite of the misinformation that
00:23:11.660
they themselves are spreading. So now they're trying to set up an enforcement mechanism in the government
00:23:15.480
to stop you from telling the truth. Now, some conservatives are pushing back. There was a
00:23:23.820
delightful moment in the Senate yesterday when a Democrat senator gets up and starts spouting the
00:23:30.840
same dumb slogans that we've been hearing now since Donald Trump was elected, which is that the
00:23:35.660
Republicans, beep, boop, the Republicans are controlled by Putin. Beep, beep, boop. They're
00:23:41.580
the pro-Russia party. Beep, beep, beep, boop. And it's totally contrary to the facts. And Senator Cruz gets
00:23:47.500
up there because Senator Cruz, you know I love the guy. I host a podcast with him. I know the guy
00:23:54.500
pretty well. And I know one of his great strengths is he knows the rules of the Senate. He knows how
00:24:02.200
to move levers of power. And he knows how to crush a guy in an argument. Okay? He knows how to find the
00:24:09.200
weakness in the argument. He knows exactly how to twist it. That was his career. He was a prosecutor,
00:24:13.320
solicitor general of Texas, argued cases before the Supreme Court. So he sees his opening,
00:24:17.500
and he takes it. Will the senator yield for questions early? Just a moment ago, the senator
00:24:24.640
from Ohio made reference to the alleged existence of a so-called Putin wing of the Republican Party.
00:24:31.200
I'd like to ask the senator from Ohio, is it accurate that the senator from Ohio and 43 of his
00:24:36.640
Democratic colleagues in January of this year voted against sanctioning Nord Stream 2, sanctioning Russia,
00:24:44.060
sanctioning Putin, despite the fact that Ukraine begged the Senate to pass those sanctions,
00:24:51.020
and Putin invaded Ukraine just days after 44 Democrats sided with Russia and Putin?
00:24:57.500
I take back my time. I've heard nobody talk about the Putin wing of the Democratic Party. No Democrat
00:25:09.820
believes that. Brutal. I love his, could I just raise a question? Oh, sure. Yes. The senator from Texas.
00:25:17.660
Okay. It's like out of My Cousin Vinny, everything that guy just said is complete BS. Cruz gets up there
00:25:25.120
and he says, so you're making this allegation that the Republicans are the pro-Putin party. Is it not,
00:25:29.940
in fact, the case that you Democrats are the ones who lifted the sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline,
00:25:35.740
which Ukrainian President Zelensky himself says was the cause of the war? The sanctions that I,
00:25:42.040
Ted Cruz, and we, the Republicans, put into place specifically to stop the invasion of Ukraine,
00:25:46.660
and that you guys lifted. And then what is this Democrat senator? He says, ah,
00:25:51.640
can I have a redo? Can I take my time back? I'm not going to answer that. And then the best part of
00:25:59.680
it all is the best answer he can muster after he stammers for a little bit is, I've never heard
00:26:05.280
anyone say that the Democrats are the pro-Putin party. Right. You've never heard anyone say that
00:26:12.020
because you're all liars and hacks and propagandists. I've never heard anyone say that
00:26:17.160
on CNN. Right. Because CNN is dishonest. I've never read that anywhere in the New York Times. Uh-huh.
00:26:22.700
Right. Because the New York Times are liars. The reporters and the editors, less so the reporters,
00:26:28.860
certainly the editors, are liars there. That's why you haven't heard it. But you'll notice Cruz's
00:26:35.160
question wasn't about things people have said. It was about concrete actions. He says, what? Huh?
00:26:42.800
What vote? The vote you took, Bella. Okay. All right. Back to the narrative. No more talk about
00:26:48.380
actions. No more talk about things that people have actually done. We're just going to go back
00:26:52.720
to the narrative. Sometimes you can see those cracks in the narrative. One piece of the Democrat narrative
00:26:57.320
that has just collapsed because of reality came all the way back to the 2020 presidential debates
00:27:04.040
when President Trump was hammering Joe Biden over his family's obvious corruption, selling American
00:27:11.800
influence to Ukraine, selling American influence to China, and Hunter Biden making a ton of money on
00:27:18.000
this and potentially giving a 10% kick back to the big guy, the big guy being his father. So you had
00:27:24.060
Trump going after this and Joe Biden, who's usually pretty good at giving himself some wiggle room,
00:27:29.760
he's usually good at giving himself an out. He made a declarative statement. He said,
00:27:33.220
my son, he couldn't say my son hasn't made any money in Ukraine because that was so obvious and
00:27:38.360
already proven. He said, my son has not made any money in China.
00:27:45.820
My son has not made money in terms of this thing about, what are you talking about? China.
00:27:53.180
In terms of, what are you talking about? Oh yeah, China. He hasn't made any money. NBC just came out
00:27:57.520
with this report. In the space of five years, 2013 to 2018, Hunter Biden inked two deals with Chinese
00:28:03.960
business interests for a total of $5.8 million. This accounted for a little more than half of the
00:28:11.700
money that his fake company brought in during this time. The company brought in $11 million. The rest
00:28:16.480
of the money, or a lot of the rest of the money came from Ukraine, by the way, but $5.8 million came
00:28:21.140
from China. So the official line previously had been, Hunter explored some business deals in China,
00:28:26.660
but they didn't actually sign any deals. Well, not true. He actually made almost $6 million from China.
00:28:30.960
For what? For what? For his expertise? For his paintings? For his chop suey recipe? What? What did
00:28:40.700
Hunter Biden give to China that earned him almost $6 million? He has nothing to offer.
00:28:47.740
I was going to say he could offer crack or hookers, but he can't, he actually can't offer that. People
00:28:54.500
offer that to him. So what did he offer? He offered access to his father. He offered
00:29:01.740
the United States. He offered the public trust. That's what he offered. And he got paid almost
00:29:06.820
$6 million for it. No, this is completely false. This would never, and by the way, if you suggested
00:29:14.640
over the past two years that the Bidens made money in China, and you said that on the show,
00:29:21.560
if you made a declarative statement, if you said that on social media, you would be hit with a fact
00:29:25.120
check. Fact check, 20,000 Pinocchios, false. You would have your content suppressed by the social
00:29:31.660
media algorithms. You would be, to some degree, pushed out of the public square for saying something
00:29:39.220
that was completely true. Speaking of sexual deviance, Hunter Biden's the topic. Speaking
00:29:46.540
of sexual deviance, a federal judge has just ruled that an Indiana middle school must let boys into
00:29:52.720
the girls' room, into the little girls' bathroom. Federal judge ruled this on Monday. Judge Tanya
00:30:01.080
Walton-Pratt is her name, an Obama appointee, no surprise, has rejected the request of the Martinsville
00:30:07.360
School District in Martinsville, Indiana, to delay enforcement of an April ruling at John R. Wood
00:30:12.920
Middle School that lets the boys go into the girls' room. Here's the judge's reasoning. Judge says,
00:30:18.880
this speculative harm that could be caused by boys using the girls' room is both unsupported by any
00:30:25.060
evidence and appears questionable, given that the school district allows other transgender students
00:30:29.540
to use the restrooms associated with their gender identity. So yeah, the issue at hand
00:30:34.720
is whether or not boys should be able to use the girls' room, period. Right? It's not just in this
00:30:41.880
one case, but in other schools and other parts of the district, maybe they can. You're saying,
00:30:46.580
this judge is saying, the speculative harm is both unsupported by any evidence and appears questionable.
00:30:53.280
Remember last year? You remember the story that got Glenn Youngkin elected in Virginia? You remember
00:30:59.020
the story that the Daily Wire broke, that the establishment media tried to cover up? You remember how
00:31:03.600
a boy raped a girl, 14-year-old, 15-year-old, in a girl's bathroom because the boy was allowed to go
00:31:12.120
into the bathroom, a boy who wore a skirt. And then they covered it up, the school covered it up,
00:31:15.760
transferred him to a different school, and then it happened again. Speculative harm. There's no evidence
00:31:21.160
of this at all. Totally speculative, totally. It's not questionable at all. It's a fact. We see it with
00:31:24.980
our own eyes. We see the news stories. We hear what happened. We can listen to the testimony of the
00:31:30.140
girl's father. And you tell us, no, it's not happening at all. No, don't believe it. We're
00:31:35.060
so concerned. We're so concerned with sexual harassment that we're going to try to take down
00:31:40.940
Elon Musk the minute he threatens our power. We're going to let boys into the girls' room to do all
00:31:45.060
sorts of heinous crimes. That's, we're going to turn a blind. That's actually very important for equity
00:31:49.600
and justice and whatever. But we're, believe us on the news and on sexual morality and on the public
00:31:57.180
trust. Believe us. We've got your interests at heart. If you believe that, I got a bridge in
00:32:00.980
Brooklyn to sell you. So here's the problem with a lot of the establishment media shows.
00:32:06.820
They drone on and on and on. But that is not the case with the Sunday special, this weekend edition
00:32:11.200
of the Ben Shapiro show. Ben talks to the guests who hold different points of view. You think that
00:32:16.540
mainstream establishment shows would have Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Matthew Iglesias, and Jordan Peterson on
00:32:20.720
as guests? No way. Like everything at The Daily Wire, we are not afraid to follow the truth
00:32:25.020
wherever it goes. You'll find that with our upcoming documentary with Candace Owens called
00:32:29.140
The Greatest Lie Ever Told, a hard-hitting expose about the death of George Floyd and the rise of
00:32:32.940
BLM. You'll also find it on this week's episode of the Sunday special with Ben's guest, Jonathan
00:32:37.720
Isaac. He'll be discussing Why I Stand, the new book that he just released with The Daily Wire.
00:32:42.440
Isaac was the lone NBA player not to kneel for the national anthem during a league-wide demonstration
00:32:47.740
in support of BLM. Sunday special is available Sunday morning, wherever you get your podcasts. So tune

Michael Knowles Show, click on the mailbag button, drop your audio file in there, and you could be
00:34:57.040
heard on this show. All right. First question. Hey, Michael, big fan of you personally and the show.
00:35:04.040
So my question is, what should the Republican Party do about the changing demographics?
00:35:11.960
I'm asking you and not the other hosts because I think you have a very important voice in the
00:35:22.240
Republican Party because I see you as very loyal to the Republican Party, but I also see you as very
00:35:28.220
critical of the Republican Party. And so I think you're an important voice in it. I noticed that
00:35:33.800
you are very critical of the left in the gaslighting of the country regarding the changing demographics.
00:35:43.960
But I also noticed that you didn't deny the claims that they're making that demographics are changing.
00:35:52.800
But surely you do not accept the premise that demographics are destiny. So what should the
00:36:00.160
RNC's strategy be to make inroads in these minority communities that are growing at a faster rate
00:36:07.480
than the Caucasian community? Really good question, which you're absolutely not allowed to ask or even
00:36:15.760
suggest is happening unless you're a leftist, in which case you laugh about it and brag about it for
00:36:20.540
20 years. This is a leftist political strategy. The libs don't care about Hispanic people. The libs don't
00:36:27.840
care about the poor foreign nationals who want to come into the country. The libs don't care about
00:36:32.120
any of that. The libs care about power. And they are trying to make this about race or white supremacy
00:36:39.360
or whatever so that you shut up and so that you let them take over the country and establish what
00:36:45.560
they believe will be a permanent majority. There is some reason for hope that Hispanics will,
00:36:50.740
over the course of time, become more Republican. You are seeing that happen right now,
00:36:54.380
but it's not happening fast enough. And so the effect of mass migration is exactly as the left
00:37:02.860
thought it would be, which is that it is benefiting Democrats. So what should the Republicans do? The
00:37:08.020
Republicans have to stop it. This is not a race thing. This is not about defending white supremacy.
00:37:15.860
This is about defending really basic aspects of our law and political culture.
00:37:21.380
If you have a country and then you open up the borders of that country and you let an unlimited
00:37:28.900
number of foreigners pour into the country and have many of, if not all of the rights of American
00:37:34.060
citizens, you just don't have a country anymore. That's wrong. It's wrong for everybody who is in
00:37:39.220
the country. And so we have to stop that. I always loved the squishy Republicans when they would try to
00:37:45.180
push for amnesty. They would say, well, what are we going to do with the, at the time they would say
00:37:51.360
11 million illegal aliens in the country. It's probably much higher now. What are we, what are
00:37:54.900
we going to do with them? We can't just let them continue to remain in this legally dubious state.
00:38:00.600
And my answer is, uh, why not? Why can't we? We broke, they broke the law. We're not deporting
00:38:10.640
them. We should deport a great many of them at the very least, but we're not, we're not deporting
00:38:15.320
them. We're not harassing them. We're not throwing them in gulags. Why do we have to give them the
00:38:19.640
rights of citizenship? Why don't we just let them be as they are? They knew, they knew that that when
00:38:24.900
they came into the country, they were told that was the absolute best they could ever get. They signed up
00:38:28.820
for it. We have given them the courtesy of not deporting them. So why do we also have to give
00:38:34.260
them voting? Oh, we, we only have to give them voting rights because the Democrats think it'll
00:38:37.100
help them. So the first thing we have to do is just stop it. The vast majority of Americans want
00:38:44.140
to drastically reduce, not just illegal immigration, but legal immigration too. We're just taking in too
00:38:49.060
many people. For the last 60 years, since the Democrats changed the immigration laws to give
00:38:53.420
themselves what they thought was a, what they expect to be a permanent majority, we have seen the
00:38:57.800
largest movement of people ever in recorded history. That's not sustainable. And it's not
00:39:04.320
just the Democrats. You say I'm a very loyal Republican. I think I'm probably the most loyal
00:39:08.520
Republican, one of the most loyal Republicans in the conservative movement. But as you say,
00:39:12.320
I'm also probably one of the most critical people of the Republican party in the movement,
00:39:16.700
because I, I, I know those things seem like they're in conflict, but I don't think they are.
00:39:21.020
I understand politics is a team sport. And if you want to pretend that you're high and mighty and
00:39:24.780
above it all, you're not going to actually accomplish anything in politics. That's why
00:39:27.720
you need parties. But the other part of that is if the party is not doing anything and the party is
00:39:33.120
actually in many ways allowing the left to destroy the country, well then that party is not worth
00:39:37.520
anything either. So you need the loyalty, but you need the tough love too. And there is an economic
00:39:42.020
incentive for the business Republicans to encourage mass migration, because as many people have pointed
00:39:48.240
out, we have a below replacement birth rate in America. So you would have a declining
00:39:52.620
population if not for mass migration. And that would not be great for the entitlement programs.
00:39:57.780
And that would not be great for GDP. And that would not be great for the capitalists in running
00:40:02.160
the corporations. And so they encourage that sort of thing too. And the Democrats get what they want,
00:40:07.560
which is their political power. And the big corporations get what they want, namely to keep
00:40:14.320
labor wages low and keep the GDP up. But the American people don't get to keep their traditions,
00:40:20.820
their culture, their political institutions, their system of law. And so we need to assert our rights
00:40:25.700
as well. You don't need to be afraid of being called a racist or a white supremacist or whatever.
00:40:31.600
They're going to call you that anyway. You don't need to make this issue about racial essentialism or
00:40:36.220
identitarianism or whatever. You just need to point out, hey, you libs are pursuing a very specific
00:40:42.380
political strategy to gain political power by changing the electorate. And we're not going to
00:40:48.860
let you do that. It's a cynical strategy. It's an opportunistic strategy. And we're going to say no.

Hi, Michael. How young is too young to start investing yourself into politics?
00:41:00.060
I'm 13 and started listening to all of the Daily Wire shows every day after school at the start of
00:41:04.380
February after finding my dad on the website, reading an article. I have 150 plus IQ and I have
00:41:10.200
a knack for debate. Am I ready to, with my dad watching from a safe distance, do a prove me wrong
00:41:16.080
out in public or should I wait a few years? Thanks. Love the show.
00:41:20.000
Well, very kind. You should wait a few years. You are too young. You are not too young to be
00:41:24.780
involved in politics. You could run for student government. That'll teach you more about politics
00:41:29.200
than any sort of debates you do out in public. You could maybe get involved volunteering for a
00:41:35.380
campaign. Not sure what the rules are depending on age, but you could maybe get involved in a
00:41:39.220
campaign if you really want to in some more private capacity. I do not think you should make
00:41:46.280
yourself a public figure at 13. The very fact that you're telling me how high your IQ is
00:41:52.440
shows you the risks of going out in public because just as a political matter, when you tell people
00:41:59.820
how high your IQ is, they don't like that very much. So I'm not even denying that you have a very
00:42:03.400
high IQ. You seem obviously very precocious, very intelligent. You're listening to all these
00:42:07.680
shows at a very young age. That's very, very impressive. But you are too young to be a political
00:42:12.880
figure. And furthermore, even if you have a very high IQ, you almost certainly don't know a lot of
00:42:19.200
things. You just haven't had enough time to learn a lot of things. I'm talking about book learning,
00:42:24.160
but then especially experience. And politics is a lot about experience. And politics is a lot about
00:42:29.880
relationships. And politics is a lot about a maturity that can only come with time, that actually
00:42:35.320
can't be learned in a book or cannot be intuited merely through the use of your unfettered reason.
00:42:40.220
So I would encourage you. I know I was a precocious young kid too. I have been a political
00:42:46.060
animal since I was very young. I campaigned in my first grade classroom for Bob Dole. That is not
00:42:51.220
a joke. I really, I don't know why I like Bob Dole so much, but I really liked him. And I've been
00:42:55.600
interested in politics from a very young age. If you become a public figure when you're really,
00:43:01.920
really young, you will make mistakes. You will say things that you ultimately will not believe.
00:43:05.300
You will embarrass yourself in many ways because that's just what teenagers do. Teenagers embarrass
00:43:11.260
themselves. That's the way their brains work. That's the way their behavior is. Almost without
00:43:17.100
exception. Wait. Read a lot of books. Listen to the podcasts. Pay attention to politics. Do all of
00:43:25.000
those things. Figure out what you really believe. Get a little experience behind the scenes. And then
00:43:30.640
you will be in such a much better position when you're older. When you're, I'm not even saying
00:43:35.760
that much older, but when you're 19, 20, when you're still very young, but you'll have a little
00:43:40.720
bit more, a little bit more experience, a little bit more knowledge. And you will be less likely to
00:43:47.620
make errors that in our age of social media and the internet is forever that could really damage your
00:43:52.860
future. Next question. Hi, Mr. Knowles. My name is Kyle. I'm a conservative from Chicago. And my
00:43:58.720
question is, well, when discussing abortion with the leftists, they will often say, you know, well,
00:44:02.880
it's the woman's body. It's feeding the baby, keeping it alive inside her womb, etc. You've
00:44:07.620
probably heard it before. You definitely have. Because, well, yeah, I guess, you know, if you
00:44:11.540
take a baby out of the womb at an early stage, it probably won't survive. So I'm kind of at a loss
00:44:15.760
as to what to say to this. So, of course, I have come to the expert. How would you respond to this
00:44:20.700
argument? Thanks a ton. Love the show, Michael. Great question. The question is, how do you respond to
00:44:26.840
those abortions? It was a little muddled what he said, but I think what I heard was
00:44:30.520
the baby needs the mother. The baby needs the mother, can't survive outside the womb,
00:44:36.720
so the mother has the right to kill the baby. I don't understand how that second part follows
00:44:40.820
from the first part. Unless you believe that we don't have any obligations to anyone else,
00:44:46.160
unless you adopt some insane, ahistorical, philosophically incoherent position that we are
00:44:53.500
all just pure individuals who can do whatever we want with our own bodies at any given time.
00:44:58.220
And we have no obligations to anyone else. A mother has obligations to her baby. Let's say
00:45:03.980
the baby's born. Goes through the whole pregnancy, the baby's born, the baby's now six months old
00:45:08.220
outside the womb. And the mother leaves the baby in a car. Right? His mother's going to go grocery
00:45:16.300
shopping, leaves the baby in a car. By the time the mother comes out, someone sees the baby's in the car,
00:45:20.880
that mother would be arrested for neglect, for child abuse. But it's the mother's body. The
00:45:27.140
mother can do whatever the mother wants. No, the mother has obligations. So if the mother has an
00:45:31.060
obligation to the baby outside of the womb, if the mother can be prosecuted for what the mother does
00:45:37.040
or does not do, or just withholds from the baby outside of the womb, why would the mother not have
00:45:44.200
obligations to the baby inside of the womb? At least the very basic obligation not to kill the baby.
00:45:50.880
So it's such a disingenuous argument from the libs because the libs say, look,
00:45:55.100
the baby isn't viable. The baby isn't autonomous. The baby can't survive without the mother. And so
00:45:59.440
the mother has every right to withhold that support. Okay. That isn't a good argument,
00:46:04.800
but let's just accept that premise for a second. A baby can survive outside the womb these days at
00:46:09.360
21 weeks sometimes. So, okay, pro-abortion person, are you willing to ban abortion after 21 weeks?
00:46:16.860
No, none of them are going to do that. Why? The baby can survive outside the womb now.
00:46:23.700
So all the mother's got to do is just deliver the live baby. The mother's going to have to deliver a
00:46:29.620
dead baby if she gets an abortion. The baby's got to come out somehow. So the mother can either
00:46:33.420
deliver a dead baby or a live baby. So if the baby can survive outside the womb, why not just skip the
00:46:38.900
step of the abortionist killing the baby and deliver the baby? You don't ever have to think about the baby
00:46:42.940
again. Would you be willing to give that up? No. They would never do it. And it shows you how
00:46:47.380
disingenuous they are. All right. Next question. Hey, Michael. So I have made some huge improvements
00:46:54.460
to my life in the last year as I finally escaped the left and the toxic ideologies that I adopted
00:47:00.100
during college. It started with me watching Jordan Peterson, and I have gradually found myself
00:47:05.200
becoming more and more conservative. I feel hugely grateful to The Daily Wire for helping me make sense
00:47:11.360
of the brainwashing and misery I experienced as a leftist atheist. I even recently ended my
00:47:18.100
relationship with my liberal fiancé because it was clear that he and I no longer had shared goals
00:47:23.420
or values. My family and friends are understandably really confused by my political and religious
00:47:29.820
transformation. So my question is, do you have any advice for new conservatives? Huge fan of the show.
00:47:37.000
Thanks. I do. I have lots of advice for new conservatives. You've already done probably
00:47:43.940
the most difficult thing that you would have to do that is the right thing to do. I am not saying
00:47:51.700
that you can't have couples with mixed politics. I'm not even saying you can't have couples with
00:47:56.880
mixed religion, although that's much harder. But what you're describing, your disagreement with your
00:48:03.500
fiancé, your ex-fiancé, doesn't sound like it's a disagreement over marginal tax rates. It sounds
00:48:09.280
like it's a disagreement on really fundamental questions. What is society? What is the human
00:48:13.620
person? What is a marriage? You need to agree on that before you get married. And if you don't agree
00:48:21.540
on that and you come to realizations later, some people do that, you have to work very hard to make
00:48:25.440
sure you get on the same page. You both have to be doing the same thing. That is very important. So
00:48:30.800
you've come to this realization that the liberal secular worldview is just crap and it's going to
00:48:36.300
give people a bad life. And so now you're pursuing something different. Your family will think you're
00:48:41.320
crazy. Your friends will think you're crazy. My advice for you is to be patient with them,
00:48:46.240
to be confident in the decisions that you've made, and to be curious so that you don't merely remain
00:48:52.380
where you are in your thought. You've realized that what you were doing was wrong and what you
00:48:58.480
previously believed is wrong. You've realized that and you've saw it and you can't unsee it.
00:49:02.500
So now you're kind of following this and you started listening to Jordan Peterson and I guess
00:49:06.500
you started listening to me and then you started reading things and watching things. Keep going,
00:49:10.820
keep going and let that deepen. Politically, certainly let that deepen and then culturally let
00:49:15.540
that deepen and then ultimately religiously let that deepen. You mentioned that your religious
00:49:20.040
views have changed as well. Of course, all human conflict is theological. It always comes back to
00:49:24.140
religion. Follow that as well. Patience is a virtue. That's patience for the friends and family who
00:49:29.920
rightly are shocked by what's going on. Confidence, you've seen it. You can't unsee it. And then the
00:49:37.720
curiosity and humility to continue to follow that, see where it goes. That would be my advice. Well
00:49:43.840
done. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show. See you next week.
