As liberal elites from around the world slap each other on the back at the first World Economic
00:00:04.960
Forum since the COVID lockdowns, a new pandemic is on the move, just in time. This time, it's not
00:00:12.700
a bat virus, but a monkey virus. The World Health Organization has now confirmed 80 cases of monkey
00:00:19.860
pox with outbreaks in 11 countries. And the WHO has further noted that the outbreaks are unusual
00:00:27.500
because they're occurring in countries in which the virus is not endemic. Monkey pox can kill up to
00:00:33.800
10% of people who catch it, according to the CDC, and it's already here in the United States.
00:00:39.140
There is at least one confirmed case in Massachusetts and another possible case in New York.
00:00:45.380
The good news is that some scientists are warning people not to worry. They say that this is not a
00:00:51.160
particularly virulent form of the virus. It does not transmit easily. It's no big deal.
00:00:57.500
Of course, the public health establishment doesn't have any credibility anymore, so that's
00:01:02.780
unfortunate. But I'm not worrying. I'm not worrying. I refuse to worry. Maybe this strange spread of a
00:01:12.120
strange virus is perfectly natural and accidental. Maybe. Maybe the Illuminati cooked it up in a lab
00:01:19.940
at Davos. Maybe. I don't really care either way. I don't care. I don't care if the libs start dumping
00:01:28.400
vats of anthrax on our heads out of helicopters. All I know is I am not putting that stupid mask back on.
00:01:37.720
In a way, I actually sort of want them to lock down again. This could be a great opportunity. Right now,
00:01:44.340
while they are all together in Davos, I think that we should have an immediate lockdown. And that way,
00:01:50.760
all the sneering liberal globalist back-slapping hacks can continue to enjoy each other's company
00:01:56.480
forever. The rest of us can live our own lives. Lock down Davos, and the rest of us might finally
00:02:03.660
be free again. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show. Welcome back to the show.
00:02:14.920
My favorite comment Friday is from CoolPapaJMagic. How many times has this guy been the favorite
00:02:19.100
comment? That's wild. He says, lol, when the government says to freak out, you're probably
00:02:24.120
fine. When the government says everything's great, that's when you've got to worry. That is
00:02:28.880
absolutely true. Now, one thing you don't need to worry about is fixing your car because of Rock
00:02:34.440
Auto. Right now, go to rockauto.com, enter Knowles in their How Did You Hear About Us box so they know
00:02:39.620
that we sent you. Chances are, over the last year or so, the value of your car has gone up considerably.
00:02:46.740

car or truck or whatever you're driving. Rockauto.com is the place to do it. You can pick brakes
00:02:58.360

work. When it comes to my car, it's all three at the same time. You can get suspension, exhaust,
00:03:07.940
air conditioning, other kits that provide all the parts you need for a successful repair. You will
00:03:12.480
not get halfway through replacing a belt and discover you need another tensioner pulley. I hate
00:03:17.380
that. That's my least favorite part about fixing up my car. I really love these guys. They have the

00:03:38.740
K-N-O-W-L-E-S in their How Did You Hear About Us box so they know that we sent you. I am not a conspiracy
00:03:45.280
theorist on the World Economic Forum. Probably I should be because the difference between a conspiracy
00:03:52.000
theory and the truth, as we know, is about six to nine months. A conspiracy theory is just a
00:03:57.140
premature truth. But I'm not a conspiracy theorist on the World Economic Forum. I just don't like it.
00:04:03.760
You don't need to believe that the World Economic Forum is a secret cabal of Illuminati, Freemason,
00:04:10.040
Jewish space aliens to recognize that there is something wrong with globalist elites, politicians,
00:04:17.200
corporate leaders from around the world meeting up in this not governmental, just kind of weird
00:04:24.060
thing. This thing that's not bound by rules of politics or state. And they all meet up and they
00:04:29.940
all decide how they're going to run our lives all around the world. And then these technocrats come
00:04:34.340
back and totally ignore the desires of their constituents and totally ignore the traditions and
00:04:41.800
sometimes the laws of the countries that they run. And they just, they go because they're such geniuses
00:04:46.340
and they cook up the next 10 years in Davos. And then they come back and try to force it down our
00:04:50.820
throats. That's unfortunate. And it's unfortunate because, not because these people are elite,
00:04:57.980
there are always going to be elites. Not because world leaders are talking to one another, that's
00:05:02.440
always going to happen too. The problem is that these world leaders, these elites are idiots.
00:05:08.640
The things that they cook up are so obviously bad. They're cartoonishly villainous sometimes.
00:05:14.200
The CEO of Pfizer was speaking at the World Economic Forum. And this is another conspiracy
00:05:19.680
theory that I guess is coming true. You remember a couple of years ago, not even, maybe a year ago,
00:05:25.740
when the elites were talking about the various therapeutics and vaccines for COVID, people worried,
00:05:31.780
the kooky, crazy conspiracy theorists worried that they're going to put a microchip in some of these
00:05:36.040
medicines. And that's going to send out an internet signal maybe. That was the wildest conspiracy
00:05:40.460
theory. You're going to take a drug and then there's going to be internet coming through you
00:05:44.620
and they're going to track you and communicate with you. And everyone said, no, that's insane.
00:05:49.780
You're a wild, crazy nut. That would never happen. So now the CEO of Pfizer is describing that exact
00:05:56.040
thing. It is a basically biological chip that it is in the tablet. And once you take the tablet
00:06:04.360
and dissolves into your stomach, sends a signal that you took the tablet. So imagine the applications
00:06:10.860
of that compliance. The insurance companies to know that the medicines that patients should take,
00:06:16.620
they do take them. It is fascinating what happens in this field.
00:06:23.640
Imagine what this means for compliance. That's what he says. Like a James Bond villain.
00:06:29.680
This Davos conference, this World Economic Forum, it is like something out of James Bond where you
00:06:36.280
have specter ulcers. Imagine then you give them the little computer chip with the internet in the
00:06:43.020
chip and then it tells you everything that they do. And if they do not comply, we will make them
00:06:48.020
comply. We are the corporate leaders of the world at Davos. It's like you should be petting a little
00:06:54.220
white cat while he describes this. This is a terrible idea. And you can see it from his
00:06:59.540
perspective. I don't want to straw man these guys' arguments. From their perspective, they are the
00:07:07.520
smartest, most virtuous, wisest people in the world. And they meet up once a year, except for COVID,
00:07:12.700
they had to take a couple of years off, but they meet up once a year and they decide how to improve
00:07:16.560
humanity. And sometimes humanity has to be dragged kicking and screaming into their improvement.
00:07:22.120
And sometimes you've got to make them comply. And so now we've got all this wonderful technology
00:07:27.140
that will report if they're not doing exactly what the elites want them to do. And if they don't,
00:07:31.620
then the elites are going to come down and force compliance. The issue is not that there are elites.
00:07:38.960
The issue is not that there are transnational elites. The issue is that these elites are idiots,
00:07:44.220
first of all, and they're vicious. They're vicious people. They're not virtuous people.
00:07:49.900
They have no respect for anything. They are just secular, leftist people who have no respect for
00:07:59.480
tradition, no respect for subsidiarity, no respect for the law, no respect for anything other than
00:08:04.740
their own fettered reason, which is going to recreate the world and make it all so wonderful,
00:08:09.580
even though every time they try one of these campaigns, it all turns to pot.
00:08:13.460
Now, speaking of the good transnational elites, there is really, really good news coming out
00:08:20.040
of the episcopacy, coming out of the Catholic hierarchy. There isn't a lot of good news these
00:08:25.900
days that comes out of the Catholic hierarchy. Very often you will see bishops or even the Pope
00:08:33.780
say things that seem so contradictory to the faith or do things that are contradictory to tradition or
00:08:39.920
the faith. But we got a good one. We got a good one right at the end of last week.
00:08:45.740
Archbishop Cordeliaone, who is the Archbishop of San Francisco, has officially barred Nancy Pelosi
00:08:53.020
from Holy Communion. We've got the letter here from Archbishop Cordeliaone saying that Nancy Pelosi
00:09:02.080
is advocating for abortion. This is a grave problem and this is creating scandal and she is imperiling
00:09:14.060
her own soul. And he's tried to deal with her personally. He's tried to speak to her personally.
00:09:19.200
He doesn't hear back. And so he says, I am hereby notifying you that you are not to present yourself
00:09:24.040
for Holy Communion. And should you do so, you are not to be admitted to Holy Communion until such time as
00:09:29.060
you publicly repudiate your advocacy for the legitimacy of abortion and confess and receive
00:09:33.820
absolution of this grave sin in the sacrament of penance. Please know that I stand ready to
00:09:39.160
continue our conversation at any time and will continue to offer up prayer and fasting for you.
00:09:43.360
Now for people who do not know exactly what all of this means, which includes non-Catholics certainly,
00:09:50.660
but a lot of Catholics too don't quite understand what this means. According to the Catholic faith,
00:09:55.660
it is the bishop's obligation to do this. And this is not just a punishment to punish Nancy Pelosi
00:10:02.660
for her support of abortion. This is not just some arbitrary caprice of the archbishop because he
00:10:08.440
doesn't like abortion, but other bishops do like abortion. It is the obligation. It is an act of mercy
00:10:14.540
of the bishop here to prevent Nancy Pelosi from receiving communion because the Catholic church
00:10:19.640
believes that if you receive communion when you are not in a state of grace, if you receive communion,
00:10:24.060
if you are in a state of grave mortal sin, you are eating your own damnation. You are further sinning
00:10:29.080
by doing that. And so the shepherd leading his flock has a responsibility and an obligation to say,
00:10:33.600
no, do not do this. Go to penance because this issue that we're talking about here, life, this issue
00:10:39.360
of abortion is a non-negotiable issue. There is not any such thing as Catholics for choice or Catholics
00:10:47.400
for abortion, right? That's not possible. It is just ontologically not possible. The Catholic church
00:10:53.220
is entirely opposed to abortion. The Catholic church cannot change its position on abortion.
00:10:58.840
It is not, if a Pope came in one day and said, we're for abortion now, he would not be able to do
00:11:03.980
that. That is not a possible thing. And so it is, it is in the interest of Nancy Pelosi and her
00:11:09.960
immortal soul. And certainly the rest of the people who she is leading astray through her scandal,
00:11:14.380
it is in their best interest. It is for their own good that Archbishop Cordelia is saying,
00:11:19.840
you cannot receive Holy Communion until you, until you repent, until you go to confession,
00:11:26.700
confess your sins, receive absolution, then you can do it again. This is also one such welcome
00:11:32.160
courage. Finally, we're seeing courage from, from some bishops. There are some good bishops,
00:11:37.300
but a lot of bishops have been showing a lot of cowardice here. So now the question is,
00:11:41.160
what about Joe Biden? What about the other so-called Catholic politicians who tout their
00:11:47.980
Catholicism, but then contradict the teachings of the church? Will the other bishops stand up and do
00:11:52.900
what's right? I certainly hope so. When you want to reach people, there are a lot of ways to reach

00:13:10.920
Podium, let's grow. The libs are furious that a Catholic bishop is doing his job with regard to Nancy
00:13:21.880
Pelosi keeping her from receiving Holy Communion. That is the bishop's job. It's his obligation. If the bishop
00:13:26.940
doesn't do that, he's going to have to answer for that someday because he will be neglecting his job
00:13:31.780
and allowing his flock to go astray and lead one another astray. The libs are furious that the bishop
00:13:38.440
is doing this. AOC has just suggested that this is a, not just Cordelia Eone, not just the Pelosi issue,
00:13:47.560
but the outlawing of abortion generally is a grave threat to religious freedom.
00:13:52.760
People who say, oh, but you're, you know, you're, you're harming a life. I believe this is life.
00:14:02.080
Well, some religions don't. So how about that? Our Jewish brothers and sisters, they are able to have
00:14:09.920
an abortion according to their faith. You know, there are so many faiths that do not have the same
00:14:17.560
definition of life as fundamentalist Christians. And so we, how, what about their rights? What about
00:14:27.940
their right to exercise their faith? It's ridiculous. And it is, it's, it is theocratic.
00:14:38.600
It's ridiculous. It's theocratic. It's a, it's wrong. What, what AOC has said
00:14:44.620
in terms of factual statements is wrong. The idea that Judaism just totally permits abortion is
00:14:51.000
completely made up. It's nonsense. The Jewish view of abortion is slightly different than the
00:14:56.280
Christian view of abortion. That's true. But her, her idea here that it's part of the Jewish faith
00:15:02.100
to commit abortions is just ridiculous. There, there was a, a sign that someone was holding at
00:15:08.200
a pro-abortion rally that said, abortion is a Jewish value. I thought, whoa, cool it with the
00:15:12.800
anti-Semitism here, folks. All right, that's, what are you talking about? Abortion is a Jewish value?
00:15:18.380
That's, that is a smear of the Jewish people, first of all. It's not true. And second of all,
00:15:25.320
second of all, you do not have a right to do whatever you want because you say your religion
00:15:33.820
tells you to. Some religions, AOC's comments about Judaism, nonsense. Her comments about
00:15:40.800
Christianity. Notice she says, only fundamentalist Christians oppose abortion. That's not true.
00:15:45.000
Christians oppose abortion. If you support abortion, you are violating your Christian faith. And you call
00:15:52.280
yourself a Christian, you are violating the faith. You are speaking in a way that is heterodox and
00:15:57.120
heretical and you need to be corrected. But let's go beyond Christianity and Judaism. Some religions
00:16:02.560
practice virgin sacrifice. Some religions practice ritual cannibalism. Many of the religions of the
00:16:11.400
Americas before the European Christians got here practiced sacrifice of virgins, practiced ritual
00:16:18.260
cannibalism. And so is that, is it a violation of religious liberty to say now in the United States,
00:16:25.240
in the year of our Lord, 2022, you are not allowed to slaughter babies and eat them? Is that a violation?
00:16:31.700
You're not allowed to slaughter virgins on altars. Is that a violation of religious liberty? In a way,
00:16:37.180
it is. In a way, to give AOC her due, yes, you are telling certain religious groups that you're not
00:16:43.200
allowed to do things. Religious liberty, such as it is, is limited. It doesn't mean that you can just
00:16:50.080
do whatever you want to do. There are guardrails. There are standards, okay? The whole concept of
00:16:56.800
religious liberty arises in a very specific religious context, namely out of Protestant Christianity.
00:17:04.680
So that's the context here. Those are the guardrails. When religious liberty was first being proposed by the
00:17:09.900
liberal thinkers. No one ever had any thought that you could, no one had any thought that we would
00:17:14.920
tolerate atheists, let alone people committing human sacrifice, let alone people just doing whatever
00:17:20.220
they want in the name of religious liberty. No, that's not what it means. That's not what the term
00:17:24.100
means philosophically. That's not what the term means historically. It's just nonsense. To quote AOC,
00:17:29.580
it's ridiculous. It's totally ridiculous. Speaking of Hispanics and politics,
00:17:34.720
the support among Hispanics for Joe Biden is collapsing. Turns out most Hispanics in politics
00:17:43.760
are not like AOC. Turns out most Hispanics in American politics are normal people and they are
00:17:49.520
not wild-eyed leftist ideologues and their support for Joe Biden is collapsing. According to a Quinnipiac
00:17:55.360
poll that was conducted in May 2021, so just about a year ago, Biden's approval rating among Hispanics
00:18:03.280
was at 55%. According to the 2020 polls after the election, so, you know, take it with a grain of
00:18:10.720
salt, Joe Biden won 59% of the Hispanic vote in 2020. What do you think his numbers among Hispanics
00:18:17.800
are at right now? 55%, 59%. It's down to 26%. 26%. Just about a quarter of Hispanics support Joe Biden
00:18:28.780
right now. Just 27% support Biden's economic policies. This is lower than the national average.
00:18:37.260
National average of people who support Biden's economic policies, 32%. Hispanics, five points
00:18:42.780
lower. Hispanics have also ranked inflation as the most pressing issue concerning them.
00:18:49.260
The Democrats need Hispanics. If we have free and fair elections, I hope that we do,
00:18:54.380
and the Democrats do not win the Hispanics. They are almost certainly completely screwed in the
00:19:01.420
midterm elections and in 2024. Why? What has caused this cratering of Hispanic support? Well,
00:19:10.060
in part, it's because the Democrats have failed on everything. It's because Joe Biden's presidency has
00:19:15.140
been an unmitigated disaster. We are worse off on every measure. Every state in the union right now has
00:19:21.160
gas above $4 a gallon. In some places, it's way higher. Foreign policy has gone to hell. We now
00:19:26.900
have the first major war in Europe since World War II. Immigration is awful. The Democrats mistakenly
00:19:33.320
believe that legal Hispanics in America really like open borders and illegal immigration. Polls show that
00:19:40.980
is not the case. Hispanics who are in America legally don't generally like illegal immigration all that
00:19:46.920
much. What about the economy? Obviously, the economy, record high inflation, terrible economic indicators
00:19:52.840
here. It's just a bad situation for the Democrats. And so what are they doing to turn the ship of state
00:19:59.140
around? Here's Kamala Harris's answer. This afternoon, we had many of us, the administrator and a number of
00:20:06.940
us, the opportunity to be inside of an electric school bus. And it was fantastic. The press actually
00:20:13.200
rode on an electric school bus, just so you know. So I think they got the real inside feeling for what
00:20:19.100
this means, right? And so what we all experienced is on an electric school bus, on an electric bus,
00:20:27.500
no exhaust, no diesel smell. Can you believe that, guys? We took this electric bus and it was like,
00:20:35.760
it was kind of quiet. It was like, yeah. And you remember, and then you think you're like,
00:20:39.900
are you going to pull up to a gas station? But you don't. You don't. It just, it's, isn't that amazing?
00:20:46.560
What, lady, what are you talking about? What, how are you the vice president? Well, all right,
00:20:55.100
we don't need to get into that. Lady, how did you make it this far in politics? People want to know.
00:21:00.040
While we have record high energy costs, we have a major war going on that's going to throw energy
00:21:06.520
costs even higher. The Democrats are prattling on about how much better the electric buses smell.
00:21:12.100
Meanwhile, they're canceling new oil and gas leases in Alaska and elsewhere. Meanwhile,
00:21:15.880
they're canceling oil pipelines. Saying, ha ha, record high energy prices? Yeah, it's going to get
00:21:20.800
a lot higher. But vroom, vroom. Wow. You ever, you ever ride on one of those fun, you ever hear of a
00:21:27.780
Tesla? Oh no, they hate Tesla now actually, because Elon's going to buy Twitter. But they're,
00:21:31.220
they're just, they are talking about issues. They are speaking to things that are so totally removed
00:21:39.160
from people's ordinary experience of life and actual cares and reality, that unless they rig
00:21:46.920
every single ballot box in this country, I don't see how the midterm elections could be anything but
00:21:52.220
a disaster for them. Unless they, unless they rig the ballot boxes, unless they lock us all down again
00:21:57.860
for monkey pox or something. I don't, because they are so incredibly removed from the cares of
00:22:05.360
ordinary Americans. Speaking of school buses, speaking of schools, you know, the, the libs are
00:22:12.820
looking at the polls and they're seeing that peddling radical sexual theories in schools doesn't play
00:22:18.480
very well. Not only does it not play well in conservative states, it doesn't play well in liberal
00:22:23.440
states either. It turns out that a whole slew, widespread of voters, not just white voters,
00:22:28.600
but black and Hispanic, not just Republicans, but Democrats and liberals too. They don't like it when
00:22:33.640
you try to transgender their little kids. They think that's weird. And so the Democrats first have
00:22:38.860
denied that it's happening, but we know it's happening. And we've seen it in Virginia and we've
00:22:42.800
seen it in Florida and you've seen the voters come out and elect Republicans in those kinds of places
00:22:48.500
in large part because of these issues. They see how badly this polls and they try to deny that it's
00:22:55.080
happening. And they say, no, we aren't teaching weird sex stuff to kids. And it's really good that
00:22:59.700
we are. There's a new video out, thanks to Chris Rufo, who's done a great job on this issue in
00:23:04.340
particular. It shows that the Mazzoni Center has just hosted a big conference on, on how important it
00:23:12.320
is to transgender the kids in schools. The Mazzoni Center has sex programs, full-time staff that teach
00:23:18.940
sex programs in Philadelphia public schools all the way up to grade 12, all the way down to
00:23:24.920
kindergarten. Now, when you are concerned about what's going to happen with your kids, you got to

00:24:57.180
in building a case so tight that there's almost nothing the opposition can say that will make any
00:25:02.740
difference. That's what we have done in our Daily Wire original documentary, Choosing Death, where we
00:25:07.860
look at the heinous court decision of Roe v. Wade. We take a wrecking ball to the four fallacies that
00:25:14.720
the abortion industry is built on. Right now, Candace Owens is doing the same with Black Lives Matter in
00:25:19.600
the new Daily Wire documentary, The Greatest Lie Ever Told, George Floyd and the Rise of BLM. You've seen
00:25:24.980
how Candace has been relentlessly calling out these media-driven lies around racial justice for the last two
00:25:31.520
years. When you set out to make a documentary, you don't know exactly where the facts will take you.
00:25:37.340
As it turns out, Candace has uncovered kryptonite, all right? We are going to take some more time
00:25:43.380
putting this film together before we bring it to light. It's amazing. I've kind of seen behind the
00:25:48.200
scenes how this movie has come together. It is incredible. As Candace likes to say, sunshine is
00:25:52.240
the best disinfectant. The Greatest Lie Ever Told, George Floyd and the Rise of BLM is going to be
00:25:56.940
incredible. Trust me, it will be well worth the wait. We'll be right back with a lot more.
00:26:01.520
Welcome back to the show. The Mazzoni Center promotes transgenderism and weird sex stuff to kids in
00:26:22.820
Philadelphia schools, grades K through 12. Last year, they secured $5 million in government contracts.
00:26:30.500
Here is just a little taste of the sort of lesson that you would receive at a Mazzoni Center class or
00:26:39.420
I am Rachel Simon. I use she, her pronouns. I am a psychotherapist, educator, consultant, and author.
00:26:47.360
I run my private practice here in Philadelphia. I am the author of the Every Body Book, which is an
00:26:55.960
LGBTQ inclusive sex ed resource for seven to 12 year olds. I love that you said that this talk
00:27:04.260
specifically was geared towards teens, but you're so right that sexuality education starts the minute
00:27:10.360
you're born. I mean, we have, we're born with bodies. These bodies are cool. We want to touch
00:27:15.440
our bodies. We're learning about privacy and, you know, being sexual and public from a very early age.
00:27:22.760
Homophobic and transphobic ideas from parents can absolutely be a problem. Inescapable judgment.
00:27:29.400
Yeah, bigoted, misinformed parents who have no idea how to talk about gay sex. They're biased. If they are
00:27:38.040
religious, it can be very difficult to get into the conversation with them.
00:27:43.340
It can be really difficult if those parents aren't radical sexual revolutionaries like I am who want to
00:27:50.540
not only promote all sorts of unusual sexual desires and behaviors among people, but also trans your
00:27:59.120
five-year-olds. Yeah, it can be really hard. And that's why it's so important that we go into the
00:28:03.580
schools with government money, by the way, with $5 million in government contracts to go in there
00:28:08.820
and teach your kids how absolutely terrible you are and, and to totally contradict every value you've
00:28:16.240
ever taught them and to make them like me and obviously well-adjusted, not total psycho, right?
00:28:22.020
Right. That's, that's what she's saying. They're not hiding it. This is not, I'm not reading between
00:28:29.260
the lines. She is telling you this. She's saying we hate it when parents teach their kids traditional
00:28:35.280
religious values. You raise your kid Christian or Jewish or Muslim for that matter. We hate that.
00:28:41.760
That's bad. So what we do is we go in with, with the parents' taxpayer money, by the way,
00:28:47.440
we go into the schools and say, yeah, your parents are bigoted. They're, they're misogynistic.
00:28:53.020
They're, they're awful closed minded and don't believe what they say. Believe what we say. Thank
00:28:59.100
you parents, by the way, for funding my salary. Yeah, we, we just go, we go into the schools and we,
00:29:04.840
and we tell kids that they need to embrace the rainbow. That's what's happening. We knew it was
00:29:09.740
happening. Then the libs deny that it's happening. Then they tell us it's good that it's happening,
00:29:14.600
but they still deny that it's happening. And sometimes we need to see it with our own eyes.
00:29:19.780
There is no live and let live here. Conservatives' first impulse very often is live and let live.
00:29:27.240
If you guys want to do that, that's fine. But just don't force it on me. However you want to live,
00:29:31.640
that's fine. Just don't make me do it. Throw your hands in the air. There's no neutrality.
00:29:37.000
There is no, well, you do you. Don't yuck my yum. None of that. The kids are either going to learn
00:29:46.000
traditional sexual morality or radical LGBTQ LMNOP trans the kids sexual morality.
00:29:55.840
They will not learn no sexual morality. That woman has a point when she says that we start to have
00:30:03.640
questions about our sex. I'm not saying erotic questions. I'm saying just what is a boy? What
00:30:08.620
is a girl? What do boys and girls mean? What is mommy and daddy? They start to have these questions
00:30:12.900
very, very young. People do have questions about their bodies at a young age. And certainly as they
00:30:17.920
approach puberty, they start to have these questions more and more. And if we spend eight hours of our day in
00:30:24.940
school when we're little kids, then we're going to learn things there too. And we're going to learn
00:30:27.900
things among other kids. And we're going to ask questions of our teachers. And yes, you are going
00:30:32.140
to learn that stuff. The question is, what are you going to learn? What is going to be taught?
00:30:38.580
It's not even any longer going to be ask your parents. Ask your parents was a substantive answer.
00:30:46.000
What that answer means is your parents have the right to inculcate in you a certain sexual
00:30:51.700
tradition and understanding. But now that's being contradicted by the left. Even that is considered
00:30:57.180
reactionary now. Those parents are bigoted and awful and misogynist. They're going to destroy
00:31:01.200
their kids' lives. No, we have a responsibility to go into the schools. So what is it? You have to
00:31:07.100
make a choice. It can't just be, well, do whatever you want. Do you want your kids to be raised by that
00:31:12.500
psycho in that video? Or do you want your kids to be raised in a more traditional way? If the answer is
00:31:19.780
the latter, as I suspect it is, then we need to go in and wield state power and defund the Mazzoni
00:31:25.080
Center and take away its $5 million in government contracts and fire lunatics like that girl in the
00:31:30.300
video and fire teachers if they teach this kind of stuff in the schools and pass laws saying that you
00:31:36.160
can't teach this kind of stuff in the schools. That's the only thing you can do. Otherwise, you are
00:31:40.920
giving over the whole culture and the way your kids are raised to these weirdos. I think it was
00:31:46.760
Oron McIntyre. I've quoted this viral tweet on my show multiple times now, which is the party that
00:31:53.760
wants to win is always going to beat the party that just wants to be left alone. That is an
00:32:00.200
eternal rule of politics. He's not the first guy to say it, but his version of it went viral on the
00:32:05.780
internet. We need to want something. We need to want to win. We need to have a substantive vision of
00:32:11.320
the country. If not, if we just want to kind of be left alone, then that lady is the new mommy. That
00:32:17.360
lady is raising your kids, okay? You're seeing it. Teachers are not hiding this. They're bragging about
00:32:22.300
this. There was a teacher just took to TikTok. We're seeing it thanks to our friends at Libs of TikTok
00:32:26.600
who said that although there are laws now being passed in the country to stop teachers from
00:32:32.920
inculcating radical sexual ideology in their young kids, her pride flag is the most important thing in
00:32:38.800
her classroom. I'm a teacher in a very conservative state and so sometimes students ask me, why do I
00:32:46.020
have that pride flag? And to me, that's the most important part of my classroom. I'm not LGBTQ. I'm
00:32:53.260
totally straight, married to a man, but I need my students to know that they are safe and they are
00:33:00.260
loved here without making a big deal about it, without having like a big conversation. So by having
00:33:08.280
just that teeny little flag at the front of my room, I can communicate to them that I support them and
00:33:15.380
that this is a safe place for them where they can focus on learning and that means everything to me
00:33:22.100
and if a student has a problem with it, then they can find a different teacher. She's so nice, isn't she?
00:33:27.500
She just wants everyone to feel safe and loved. Do you think Christian students will feel safe and
00:33:31.500
loved when they see that flag? That flag which means you are wrong. That flag which means your views
00:33:37.720
are not legitimate. That your views are evil and bigoted and need to be run out of the public
00:33:43.440
square. Do you think the Christian, how about the Jewish students? Do you think the Jewish students,
00:33:47.080
the Jewish students who take their religion seriously, do you think that they feel safe
00:33:51.580
and welcome when they see that flag? That flag which says you are wrong and you are evil and your
00:33:56.100
views should be run out of town. Muslim students, do you think, Muslim students take this stuff
00:34:01.060
real seriously? Do you, there's not, there's not a whole lot of liberalism in Islam like there is in
00:34:07.280
Christianity and Judaism. Do you think that, or like there can, I should say like there can be in
00:34:12.260
Christianity and Judaism. Obviously the more orthodox Christians and Jews do not have a lot of
00:34:17.340
liberalism in their, in their religion. Do you think the Muslims feel safe and welcome when the pride
00:34:21.980
flag is there saying you are, you are wrong, you are evil, you are bigoted, your culture is disgusting.
00:34:26.400
Do you think that, I don't think they do. No, I give the teacher credit because she's being honest
00:34:33.200
in that yes, to her and to so many of these revolutionaries, the pride flag is the most
00:34:40.380
important thing because all human conflict ultimately is theological. And beyond reading,
00:34:48.320
writing, and arithmetic, when we educate people, we're teaching them the most basic things,
00:34:52.600
the most important things, who we are, what we are, what does it mean to live the good life,
00:34:56.180
what are we aiming at, what should we do, what is virtue. So of course, the flag actually is the
00:35:00.720
most important thing, more so than the whiteboard and the abacus, that's for sure, because it's
00:35:05.840
getting to the very root of education. What is education for? Now, I don't think education should
00:35:11.480
be aimed at instilling pride in people. I think pride is a sin and the queen of all sins, and pride
00:35:18.300
goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall. And I think that the sexual pathologies
00:35:23.480
that the pride flag represents are not particularly helpful to people. And I don't think it's very
00:35:28.520
helpful to tell seven-year-old boys that they're actually little girls. I don't think that helps
00:35:33.000
them. She might sincerely believe that that will help them. That might be her deeply held religious
00:35:37.380
view. And that contradicts the religious views of the Christians and the Jews and the Muslims.
00:35:42.260
And you know what, folks? The AOC version of religious liberty, where you just, you should be able
00:35:48.640
to do whatever you want. That's an incoherent answer, because you can't simultaneously teach
00:35:54.220
both. You cannot simultaneously teach boys are boys and girls are girls, and boys can be girls
00:36:01.860
and girls can be boys. Those are mutually exclusive. Those are contradictory statements. You have to pick
00:36:08.080
one. The Christians, the Jews, and the Muslims, they believe the first one. The liberals and the
00:36:14.220
secularists and the leftists and the progressives, they believe the latter one. Those are religious,
00:36:19.740
it's an actual religious conflict. It's not just political or cultural. And we've got to pick.
00:36:23.680
And we in the political community have every right to pick. And we have every right to settle
00:36:28.300
certain religious questions. Our Declaration of Independence says that we hold these truths to be
00:36:33.760
self-evident that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain unalienable
00:36:37.200
rights. That is a religious statement about God that is the predicate for our
00:36:44.100
country. If you do not believe in that, then you do not have much of a place in America.
00:36:51.940
That is a limit to the religious liberty of America. As so many people have pointed out,
00:36:56.740
religious liberty in America does not mean freedom from religion. It might mean freedom of religion,
00:37:00.940
but it doesn't mean freedom from religion. And religious liberty is not even the point of the
00:37:06.420
First Amendment, by the way. When we talk about the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment,
00:37:10.040
that doesn't mean that there's absolute total religious liberty. This is one of the most
00:37:13.360
misunderstood clauses of the entire Constitution. The reason that the framers of the Constitution
00:37:18.160
did not establish a church at the national level was in large part because the states already had
00:37:23.800
established churches. They already had. Certain states mostly were Episcopalian, but there were
00:37:28.680
other establishments as well that persisted for decades after the Constitution. So yeah, that's what
00:37:35.000
religious freedom really means. We need to put limits here. We need to use the law to do it. We need to
00:37:40.600
tell that weirdo teacher, hey, take that flag down or get out of the classroom. Oh, that's the most
00:37:45.260
important thing in your classroom? Okay, well, then find another job because this job ain't for you.
00:37:50.080
Speaking of finding other jobs, really great news coming out of Hollywood. An actor is suing his
00:37:55.460
talent agency for racial discrimination. This actor is Tyler Fisher, happens to be in a Daily Wire movie,
00:38:01.940
Terror on the Prairie. Tyler says, I'm currently suing a talent manager who told me they won't work with
00:38:07.480
me because I'm a white man. They just asked how much money I want to settle out of court for.
00:38:12.520
Update, I will not settle. I will take this all the way. Even if I don't get a dime, this justified
00:38:17.940
racism needs to end. Absolutely right. It is very important to end affirmative action. They call it
00:38:23.720
affirmative action. It just means racial discrimination against whites and in some cases Asians. That's what
00:38:28.920
affirmative action is. And it's wrong and it's politically disastrous and we need to get rid of it.
00:38:35.560
There's no argument for it. The old argument for affirmative action was that certain groups have
00:38:43.260
been historically, really just one group of black people have been historically discriminated against
00:38:47.500
by the law in the United States. And so to try to fix that situation, to correct that, we're going to
00:38:52.880
go in and give them special advantages and discriminate against white people. And then that'll kind of level
00:38:57.260
things out and everyone will be happy and kumbaya, right? That was the idea. And I kind of get the
00:39:03.500
idea behind it. It has not achieved its purpose. The purpose of affirmative action was to help black
00:39:11.520
people improve their position in American society and to integrate the society. It has achieved neither
00:39:17.080
of those things. In some cases, it's had the opposite effect. There was a major study about this from
00:39:21.940
UCLA law professor Richard Sander years ago, probably over 15 years ago at this point, that published in the
00:39:29.880
Stanford Law Review, looked at the effects of affirmative action and showed that affirmative
00:39:34.520
action has actually harmed the position of black people in society professionally. One of the
00:39:40.340
explanations for this was mismatch theory, that when you give certain students an unfair advantage and
00:39:45.440
you put them into either colleges or other institutions in which they are not well matched,
00:39:51.440
they're actually going to fail at a much higher rate than if they were in other institutions to
00:39:55.540
which they were better matched. Antonin Scalia got in a lot of trouble for raising this possibility
00:39:59.700
and they called him a racist as they always do, but it's a totally legit scenario and it doesn't help
00:40:05.220
anyone, especially not black people, to deny that. You look at the position of black people in American
00:40:10.640
society in 1965 for affirmative action, 24% of black babies were born out of wedlock. Today,
00:40:16.900
it's upwards of three quarters of black infants born out of wedlock. If the point of affirmative action
00:40:21.480
was racial integration and harmony in the US, where is racial integration and harmony today?
00:40:27.580
We're at new lows. We've just had race riots for eight months in the year 2020 and we've got the
00:40:32.900
BLM movement shaking down corporations everywhere. Racial relations seem to be at all new lows.
00:40:38.760
So if that hasn't worked and if the policy is unjust in and of itself, it's time to get rid of it.
00:40:44.040
Great, great stuff for Tyler Fisher. Take it on, man. Do not stop fighting this fight. It's important,
00:40:49.380
not just for white people, not just for men. It's important, not just for Asians. It's important
00:40:53.780
for everybody. Speaking of weird racial and sexual ideologies, there is some really weird sex stuff
00:41:05.240
going on. Every day, I think that we've hit the bottom of the slippery slope and we can't get into
00:41:10.020
any weirder sex stuff and then we do. We do every time. This is called, have you heard of this? This is
00:41:17.160
called nullification surgery. Gender nullification surgery. This is being practiced by licensed quacks.
00:41:28.340
Gender nullification surgery. While many patients might be interested in transitioning into either a
00:41:34.800
male or female identity, there are plenty of individuals who feel that their gender identity
00:41:39.400
does not quite conform in one direction or the other. Gender nullification surgery can enable
00:41:45.840
non-conforming patients to enjoy a relatively smooth genital area. It means they turn you into Barbie.
00:41:54.000
It means they turn you into Ken. They just get rid of your genitals entirely. Not so that a man can
00:41:58.220
look more like a woman or a woman look more like a man. So that you just look like nothing. So that you
00:42:03.520
look completely neutral. Do we think people should be allowed to do this? I don't think so. I think that
00:42:10.220
medical professionals have an obligation first to do no harm and I think this is harming them and they
00:42:14.720
should not be allowed to do this. And when medical professionals do this, we should put them in jail.
00:42:18.700
I think we should have laws against this that prohibit, that limit the freedom of individuals,
00:42:24.520
the bodily autonomy of individuals to chop themselves up and make them look like a Barbie doll. I think
00:42:28.200
that's wrong, harmful to them. There's no good served by it. As Edmund Burke points out, you do not
00:42:34.040
have a right to do things that are not reasonable and not for your benefit. So no, no, you don't get to do
00:42:40.380
that. But this actually, oddly enough, ties in with the big liberal buzz phrase of last week.
00:42:49.120
This ties in with the great replacement. The great replacement is this phrase that the left has
00:42:55.560
demagogued. Politically speaking, it refers to this idea that the political forces are using mass
00:43:02.400
migration to change the electorate of a population so that a certain party, like the Democrats, for
00:43:09.240
instance, will have a permanent majority. This is a crazy, wild, nuts conspiracy theory, except the
00:43:14.240
Democrats have told us they're doing this for over 10 years now. And they tell us that they're doing
00:43:18.700
it. And then we repeat to them what they've said. And then they call us racist, awful conspiracy
00:43:22.860
theorists for repeating their very words back to them. So that's one stage of the great replacement.
00:43:29.200
You're seeing this in Europe too. Viktor Orban, the leader of Hungary, has accused the EU of doing
00:43:35.040
this. Said Brussels is abusing its powers every single day and trying to force bad and foreign
00:43:40.120
things upon us, but we're not going to give up our border protection. But then he went a little bit
00:43:45.260
deeper. He said the West just does not want to maintain itself. Let's not beat around the bush.
00:43:50.240
Certain civilizations are able to reproduce. The West is not able to reproduce. And there are people who
00:43:57.340
sense the problem of declining demographics and they want migration. So he's saying it's not merely about
00:44:02.800
the liberal parties wanting to get more power and they know the migrants are more likely to vote for
00:44:06.680
them. So they push mass migration. This is also being promoted by corporate leaders. This is also
00:44:11.200
being promoted by technocrats. This is also being pushed by economists who realize that if you've got
00:44:17.020
declining birth rates and you've got increasing entitlements and you've got an aging population,
00:44:23.020
you need more people to go in there to work to pay for the entitlements. You've got to keep the
00:44:26.380
economy afloat. Well, the only way to do that, they say, is through mass migration. That's a deeper
00:44:31.040
kind of cultural level here. And then there is an even deeper level of it. So for anyone who's
00:44:37.460
interested in reading the theory of the Great Replacement, I'm not talking about kooky screeds
00:44:44.940
on the internet or the ravings of madmen and murderers, but I'm talking about the actual
00:44:48.920
philosopher behind this idea, who I assure you, no one who has ever committed violence in the name of
00:44:54.580
the Great Replacement has ever read this guy, even though he's the guy who coined the term.
00:44:58.480
His name is, gosh, what is it? Oh, Renaud Camus. Sorry, I was reading the author of this piece,
00:45:07.120
Nathan Pinkowski. Pinkowski, who's a really great writer, Compact Magazine, the man behind the Great
00:45:12.400
Replacement. And this is about Renaud Camus. And he's this French guy. And he says the issue,
00:45:18.260
it's not just about race. It's not just about nationality. It's not just about people from the
00:45:24.860
third world wanting to get economic advantage in the first world. It's about a whole ideology of
00:45:30.320
replacism. The idea that everything is just replaceable. And this is a long way of getting
00:45:41.420
back to the gender theory, but you see it especially with the gender theory. It's this idea that America
00:45:46.900
is not unique. France is not unique. Italy is not unique. They're just kind of, they're just states.
00:45:55.540
And so you can, if you replace all the Italians with the French, or more likely, if you replace all
00:46:02.720
the Italians with people from the Middle East or Africa, you'll still have Italy. Because it'll still
00:46:07.820
be the same place. You'll get totally different people, but it'll be the same place. And of course,
00:46:10.680
that's not true. You can't replace all the people of a culture and maintain that culture. You can't
00:46:16.280
flood a country with migrants who have their own culture, and then expect them instantly to
00:46:21.600
assimilate, especially when assimilation is being discouraged by the elites. But it goes even deeper.
00:46:26.760
The idea of replacism is that you can replace men with women and women with men. It's the idea that
00:46:31.760
everyone is undifferentiated. It's the idea that you just plug in a new part.
00:46:38.840
We're all, nothing makes us special. Nothing is deep. Nothing binds us to the past.
00:46:43.740
Nothing is particular about a geographic area or a tradition or a, none of, you just replace
00:46:49.020
everything. We're all guilty of that. We live in an age of disposable things. We don't make things
00:46:54.660
anymore out of sturdy materials. We make them out of steel and glass and plastic, plastic more than
00:47:00.060
anything. And so it's all replaceable. Women, women are replaceable. We'll replace them with men.
00:47:07.360
Babies are replaceable. We'll replace them with puppies. We won't, our own civilization is
00:47:14.200
replaceable. We'll replace them with people from another civilization. We won't even try to
00:47:17.800
assimilate them because culture's not real. Religion's not real. It's all just, but we know
00:47:21.900
that that's not true. We're seeing that tension in our battles right now. The battle between
00:47:27.900
Christianity and secular leftism in the schools. We're seeing that in the battle, the fight over
00:47:33.660
transgenderism, the fight over nationalism versus globalism. The people, the technocrat
00:47:41.400
self-appointed geniuses in Brussels who are going to remake the world after their own fancies,
00:47:48.620
that ideology, it has nothing to do with, frankly, it doesn't even have that much to do with race.
00:47:53.360
It doesn't have anything to do with mass murderers or crazy theories about the Illuminati and the
00:48:00.060
Freemasons and the Jewish space aliens or anything like that. It has to do with a basic fact of the
00:48:04.860
way that we all live right now. We're living in a way in which particularity is gone. And that is
00:48:10.240
pretty sad. You see, especially with gender. I like women. I think women make great women. I don't want
00:48:16.760
to see women mutilating themselves to pretend to be like men or vice versa. That is the much deeper
00:48:23.260
level of this whole discussion, which of course the mainstream media do not want us to have because
00:48:28.020
it will impede their agenda. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show. See you tomorrow.
