Anxious about choosing between a fixed or variable rate mortgage,
00:00:04.120
we can help request a calming call with TD Mortgage Direct and say hello to good advice.
00:00:15.100
Just when you think America has reached the maximum level of queerness,
00:00:20.880
not just a little light in the loafers, but full on queerer than a $3 bill,
00:00:26.440
just when you think things cannot get any queerer. The Speaker of the House of Representatives
00:00:32.680
appears on a drag queen TV show to declare that transvestitism is what America is all about.
00:00:41.160
Please give a warm drag race welcome to the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.
00:00:55.820
My honor to be here to say to all of you how proud we all are of you.
00:01:01.960
Thank you for the joy and beauty you bring to the world.
00:01:06.300
Your freedom of expression of yourselves in drag is what America is all about.
00:01:21.560
our Constitution was built for a moral and religious people. And more than that,
00:01:26.760
it's built for dudes to strap on stilettos and strut around like cartoon caricatures of a prostitute.
00:01:32.440
It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. So said John Adams. Did he? I don't think so.
00:01:37.900
It is increasingly, however, the view held by our elite institutions, which are uniformly promoting
00:01:45.880
transvestitism and transgenderism and transsexualism, including among children.
00:01:52.220
And the voices calling for this child abuse and this perversion and this madness are not just on
00:01:58.540
the radical left. The situation has gotten so bad in this country, even the largest conservative
00:02:05.120
cable news channel has joined the chorus, not just waving the rainbow flag, but even encouraging
00:02:11.480
parents to trans their kids. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:02:22.860
Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment on Friday is from Joseph H., who says donuts and
00:02:29.080
other yummy snacks at the child drag workshop. All that's missing is the puppy in the van.
00:02:36.600
Time to start a group and call it DAD, Dads Against Drag. That's probably a good idea. If we still had
00:02:44.380
a robust sense of masculinity and fatherhood in this country, I don't think that you would have people
00:02:51.340
like a cartoon, like a caricature. It's the same thing as the drag issue. And in this case,
00:02:56.080
even more so, the drag workshops for kids, it's like a caricature of some sexual predator. Come
00:03:02.280
here, kids. Oh, yes, we've got candies and goodies. Yeah, just go into that extremely creepy looking van
00:03:08.760
over there. Yeah, that's right. We've got all sorts of wonderful snacks. Now, put on your stilettos and
00:03:13.100
strut around. Not a good idea. Probably better, you know, if you're finding that your legs have
00:03:17.860
strained from those stilettos. It's good to kick back a little bit, relax. You gotta do it on an
00:03:23.220
Allform sofa. Right now, go to allform.com slash Knowles. You know how much I love my Helix bed.

00:04:39.240
shake my head and blink because I know it's June. In June, everything goes super gay. It doesn't just
00:04:47.060
go gay. Gay is now bourgeois. Gay is now old-fashioned and traditional. Now it goes trans.
00:04:53.120
It doesn't just go trans for the adults. It goes trans for the kids. I know that. I expect that
00:04:57.920
from all the left-wing news outlets, which is to say almost all the news outlets. I expect this from
00:05:02.680
all the left-wing corporations, which is to say almost all the corporations. I expect this certainly from
00:05:07.240
all the left-wing TV channels, which is to say most of the TV channels. But I saw a segment being run
00:05:15.940
not just on the topic of transgenderism, not just on the topic of transgendering the kids,
00:05:23.160
but actively promoting transing the kids. And I saw this segment not on MSNBC and not on CNN.
00:05:30.640
I saw it on Fox News. 14-year-old Ryland Whittington is a typical Southern California
00:05:39.480
teenager. And the Whittingtons, along with mom Hillary, dad Jeff, and sister Brinley are a typical
00:05:46.960
family. The only difference, though, in Ryland's eyes is what this family can mean to the tens of
00:05:53.040
thousands of kids under 18 who identify as transgender. We put our story out there so
00:05:59.080
people could see that, like, there's another family out there that is going through what
00:06:05.620
we're going through, or there's another family who's proud of who they are. Before Ryland could
00:06:10.460
even speak, he managed to tell his parents that he is a boy. I could just see that it wasn't him
00:06:16.140
trying to be a brat. It was, like, painful. It was truly painful for him to have to wear
00:06:21.600
feminine clothing and for us constantly telling him that you're a girl. And unlike some trans kids,
00:06:28.320
when Ryland came out at age five a few years later, he had the full support of his parents.
00:06:33.740
I'm just here to make the ride smoother for others. What extraordinary courage displayed by
00:06:38.580
Ryland, his sister Brinley, father Jeff, and mom Hillary. I want to thank the Whittington family
00:06:43.460
for speaking to us. It's not easy, particularly at a time when transgender issues have been
00:06:49.360
politicized. People are afraid of what they do not understand. This family hopes their story will
00:06:54.160
lead to more understanding, more acceptance, and ultimately, more love. And ultimately, more love.
00:07:02.580
That's the last word there. This is not just covering this. This is not just, well, look at this weird
00:07:11.360
story. It would be abusive enough to run a big segment, go out, film this family and this poor
00:07:16.740
little girl where they're obviously screwing up this poor girl on all sorts of hormones, and that's
00:07:21.140
why her voice is so much deeper. That would be bad enough. But this creep reporter on Fox News is
00:07:28.620
promoting it. And by the way, the clip goes on three minutes longer. It gets worse and worse. We don't
00:07:34.980
have time to cover the whole thing on the show. This is a full-throated endorsement
00:07:38.320
on the news side of Fox News of transgendering the kids. I refrain from friendly fire on the right,
00:07:47.780
even among right-wing personalities and politicians and organizations that I don't even like all that
00:07:53.900
much. I refrain from friendly fire generally. I try to abide by Ronald Reagan's 11th commandment,
00:07:59.400
thou shalt not speak ill of a fellow Republican.
00:08:01.960
I cannot think of anything more evil that Fox News could do than endorse transing kids,
00:08:11.180
than encourage parents to trans their kids. And in the other parts of that segment, they say,
00:08:14.920
yeah, you know, we're using statistics from the Trevor Project, which is a radical pro-LGBT
00:08:20.440
organization. And the statistics say, if you don't trans your little kids, they're going to kill
00:08:25.200
themselves. So what? Do you want it? Do you want it? They actually use this line. They say,
00:08:28.220
would you rather have a dead daughter or a living son? Or really, it's just a girl who's a daughter
00:08:33.480
who's pretending to be a boy. What do you want? You want to kill your kid? Well, if you don't
00:08:37.180
want to kill your kid, give a ton of money to pharmaceutical psychos to pump your kid full of
00:08:41.620
hormones so that you can permanently screw up their body and probably give them osteoporosis or
00:08:46.320
something, make them sterile forever. When they come to regret this in 10 years, you're going to
00:08:50.720
have destroyed their lives. But if you don't do it now, you're going to kill your kids. That's the kind
00:08:55.080
of stuff that's being promoted on Fox News channel. Good grief. What has happened?
00:09:02.140
I can't figure it out. I can't refrain from criticizing them here. I've appeared on Fox
00:09:09.440
News about a bazillion times. I've promoted multiple books on Fox News, went back. Last year,
00:09:16.660
Tucker helped me promote my book, Speechless. I wish that the Fox News executives had read that book.
00:09:23.680
I wish they had listened to some of their own programming. This is insane. It's very difficult
00:09:28.200
for me. I was trying to make a joke about what's going to happen next at Fox News.
00:09:32.420
What are they going to promote next? Blank. They're promoting this. So I was trying to think
00:09:37.700
of some hyperbolic, satirical thing. I could say, what's the even crazier thing that they could
00:09:42.000
promote? There's nothing crazier. They've reached it. That's the bottom of the slippery slope.
00:09:47.120
Maybe bestiality. I don't think that's even worse. We're talking about mutilating the genitals of
00:09:51.680
little kids. And if you don't do it, you're a terrible parent, they say.
00:09:56.680
This is, it shows you how far America's fallen. It actually gives some credence to what Nancy
00:10:03.380
Pelosi was saying. Transvestitism is what America's all about. Maybe it is. I don't think it's what
00:10:08.360
ordinary Americans are about. I don't think it's what the majority of the American people are about.
00:10:12.000
But I do think that it might be what every single one of our institutions is about,
00:10:18.520
including the quote unquote conservative ones, including the quote unquote right wing ones.
00:10:22.920
There's a uniform agreement now, not just on the rainbow, not just on homosexuality,
00:10:29.260
not just on transgenderism, on transing the freaking little kids. Wasn't just Fox News
00:10:36.840
promoting this stuff. You're seeing this now. Somehow this is more disgusting. It's probably
00:10:42.040
less, it's less evil, but it's definitely more disgusting. There was an ad that came out from
00:10:47.700
Postmates, which is a food delivery service on, listen, I'm no expert in the nuances of this
00:10:55.560
particular sexual ideology, but it was the sort of stuff you should eat from Postmates if you want to
00:11:08.820
What are you eating this, Pride? Well, if you're a top, it seems like you can eat whatever you want.
00:11:16.920
But if you're a bottom, you're expected to starve? Not this, Pride. Introducing the bottom-friendly
00:11:23.840
menu from Postmates. We teamed up with Dr. Evan Goldstein from Bespoke Surgical to bring you a menu
00:11:30.440
of bottom-friendly foods backed by science. Insoluble fiber won't help you feel cute, so avoid things like
00:11:37.720
whole grains, wheat bran, cauliflower, potatoes, legumes. Hold up, are you just fully diving into those beans?
00:11:46.080
The problem with these foods is they don't dissolve in water, which could cause a traffic jam in your
00:11:50.940
digestive system, making a mess of your evening. There's no right or wrong way to bottom, but if you're
00:11:56.360
planning on getting peachy this, Pride, the bottom-friendly menu on Postmates has the kinds
00:12:01.080
of foods that could keep you feeling good. Are you organic?
00:12:08.020
They put the avocado in an S&M leather studs metal. That's so gross. And I realized why they're doing it.
00:12:20.500
I couldn't figure out. This is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen in any commercial. Why?
00:12:25.760
And they're doing it because for years, corporations have been attacked, even by the
00:12:31.760
left-wing LGBT activists. They say, you just put your logo in a rainbow for Pride. You don't really
00:12:38.440
care. It's just you're pandering, but you don't really change anything. And so I know there was a
00:12:44.240
board meeting. There was some kind of executive meeting at Postmates, and they said, we got to
00:12:48.340
really prove it to them this year. We are going to go into the most absolutely disgusting,
00:12:53.820
granular detail on LGBT relations. And we're going to include avocados and peaches and all sorts of
00:13:01.760
stuff, digestive tracts. And we're committed this year. Please, maybe go back to the logo.
00:13:10.820
In Washington, D.C., there's a big Pride parade. There are Pride parades everywhere,
00:13:16.460
throughout the entire country, throughout the entire world. It's throughout the Western world
00:13:22.560
at this point. During one of these Pride parades, there was a man running down the street.
00:13:31.260
He appears to have had breast implants or some kind of chemically induced breasts or something,
00:13:43.240
You can see him there. He's strutting in front of a sign that says European Union for LGBT plus rights.
00:13:49.900
He appears to have something like breasts or any... There he is twerking on a cop.
00:13:57.280
And there, there's someone waving the European flag. Oh, and the people waving the European flag
00:14:08.420
seem to be very young. There are plenty of kids there out in the crowd. And the man with the breasts
00:14:14.720
twerking on the cop, and the cop just runs away. In a more sane age, the cop would put this guy in
00:14:22.020
cuffs and take him either to jail or, more likely, a lunatic asylum and say, something's going wrong
00:14:28.480
in your life, buddy, and we've got to figure it out so that you don't do stuff like this. But the guy
00:14:32.500
in the street with some kind of augmented breasts had demon horns on, like little devil horns. And you
00:14:40.260
do notice this a lot. There's a lot of overlap here between the radical sexual revolutionary stuff
00:14:45.760
and demonic imagery, sinful imagery, satanic imagery. And I imagine that the activists on
00:14:53.340
the sexual revolution side will just write this off and say, oh, we're just being provocative.
00:14:58.200
Oh, it's not, we don't really believe in the devil. Oh, we don't really, but I don't want,
00:15:01.600
how come this, this imagery keeps cropping up all the time? And the, and it's so brazen now,
00:15:08.500
and it's so obscene. If obscenity laws have any meaning whatsoever, and we still have obscenity
00:15:15.540
laws on the books, if they have any meaning whatsoever, a demon horn wearing dude with
00:15:21.460
breasts wearing a thong jiggling on a police officer in front of kids, I think has to count,
00:15:28.020
right? And if that doesn't count, we don't, we don't effectively have obscenity laws anywhere
00:15:34.080
in this country or throughout the Western world. In Idaho, there was a pride parade.
00:15:42.600
This took place in Cordelene, Idaho. Police arrested 31 members of a group called Patriot Front.
00:15:52.620
This group, the 31 people in Patriot Front were found in a U-Haul vehicle near the pride parade.
00:15:58.920
And they were just there in their vehicle. But the cops said, it is clear to us based on the gear
00:16:03.500
that the individuals had with them, the stuff they had in their possession, the U-Haul with them,
00:16:08.560
along with the paperwork that was seized from them, that they came to riot downtown.
00:16:13.420
So notice here, this group, Patriot Front, Fed Front, I don't know, I haven't really heard very
00:16:19.680
much about this group. And whenever I hear about it, it's in this way that seems to be actively
00:16:24.920
promoted by the establishment media. And I'm sort of skeptical that the group even exists
00:16:28.660
beyond something thought up in Langley or Quantico. But regardless, let's say it is real,
00:16:35.120
this far right radical group, they were arrested for potentially planning to riot.
00:16:44.620
BLM very often doesn't get arrested for actually rioting and burning things down and killing people.
00:16:49.160
But this far right group gets arrested for potentially planning to riot. So for a potential
00:16:56.580
crime. At a pride parade where real crimes are taking place. At the very least, the crime of
00:17:04.940
obscenity. At the very least, the crime of public disturbance. At the very least, the crime of indecent
00:17:11.840
exposure and indecent exposure toward kids. There are kids at all of these pride parades.
00:17:15.680
And yet, the cops never arrest the weirdos like the demon horn wearing guy with his breasts hanging
00:17:25.300
out jiggling on a cop in front of kids. They never arrest those guys for committing actual crimes.
00:17:30.940
But then they rush in, we got to send in the SWAT team, we got to send in the FBI to go arrest
00:17:37.180
this minor right wing group that may or may not be real in the first place for potentially.
00:17:45.020
I'm not defending this group, if it's real or not, Patriot Front. Arrest them if you want,
00:17:51.140
if they've committed a crime. But how come we focus all of the resources in law enforcement
00:17:59.140
on punishing right wing people for crimes that they may be committed, maybe didn't commit,
00:18:05.640
maybe plan to commit, maybe don't. But we don't ever punish leftists who are actually committing
00:18:11.580
crimes in the same place at the same time doing the same thing. Doesn't make sense. It seems to me
00:18:19.080
we should focus more of our resources on arresting the groomers, on arresting the weirdos. Frankly,
00:18:27.240
it would be for their own good. I don't think the guy in the demon horns with the boobs hanging out,
00:18:31.460
I don't think that guy is living his best life. I don't think he's got it all together. I don't
00:18:35.400
think he's flourishing, okay? But we have said, no, that is flourishing. That's what we should all
00:18:41.060
want. Fox freaking news is saying, if your kid is two years old and can't even speak yet,
00:18:48.500
you've got to trans your kid. And in that Fox segment, by the way, the mother,
00:18:53.100
would you believe it? The mother has a book deal talking about all this. This creepy mother who says,
00:18:57.580
oh yes, before my daughter could speak, before my, I'm sorry, before my son could speak, he told me
00:19:04.040
that he is totally a boy and not a girl, which she obviously is. Even Fox News promoting that stuff.
00:19:12.560
All of that is totally fine. But we've got to focus all of our attention on the threat from the far
00:19:19.140
right radical insurrectionists. Goodness gracious, if we don't stop them, a Midwestern dad might drink a
00:19:25.860
pours light in the Capitol rotunda. Could you imagine? It brings me back to this question,
00:19:30.700
is Pelosi right? Is Pelosi right when she says transvestitism is what America is all about?
00:19:39.420
No, not if you ask the majority of Americans, not if you ask the founding fathers,
00:19:43.240
they'd be rolling over in their graves. But there is something weird about America with this issue.
00:19:49.940
The Western world broadly kind of, but it's America in particular has this. You remember the French
00:19:55.240
a few months ago, Macron said, we don't want wokeness. Wokeness is very bad. It's a cultural
00:20:01.660
export from America and it's poisoning everything. We don't want it. We don't do wokeness. In France,
00:20:07.000
which is one of the most left-wing places in the Western world, they said, we don't want that.
00:20:11.240
So what is it about America? I think it's that in America, there is this idea that you can be
00:20:18.300
whatever you want to be. In America, it doesn't matter how you're born, what you look like, what
00:20:23.340
your skills are, even. Every child born in America can be the president of the United States.
00:20:30.180
Any child, if he really puts his mind to it, can be an astronaut. You can be anything. And there's
00:20:35.360
something nice about this idea in America, but it isn't true. There's a lot of freedom in America.
00:20:44.680
There's a lot of freedom of mobility. There's so much opportunity. Go West, young man, go strike
00:20:48.580
your fortune. There is some truth to the American dream, but that's not absolute. You can't do
00:20:55.860
whatever you want to do. I will never be a basketball player. I never could have been
00:21:01.540
a basketball player. I was born with certain limitations. When you are a child of the Mezzogiorno
00:21:10.000
of Southern Italy, and you're not six foot seven, and you're not from the most athletic race of
00:21:17.200
people in the world, then I'm never going to play in the NBA. That was a limit that I had.
00:21:22.520
But I've got other limits beyond that. I've got limits of nature, of biology. I'm never going to
00:21:29.360
be a girl. I'm never going to be a woman. I can really want to be a woman, but I can't be.
00:21:35.820
Secondly, there are natural limits here. The reason that America worked for so long
00:21:42.460
is because we had this really inspirational idea of you can do pretty much whatever you want to do,
00:21:49.600
but we had a culture, a tradition of limits, and we had a religion, Christianity, that told us that
00:21:56.120
we have responsibilities, that we have a moral order that we have to respect. We have natural
00:21:59.860
boundaries we have to respect, and we've got to give ourselves over to God's will and cooperate
00:22:05.000
with his grace. As America has become less Christian, still religious, but it's less
00:22:11.000
Christian to be a much more leftist, transgenderist, individualist, whatever, all of those limits are
00:22:18.700
gone. And it's just like, you can have beautiful poetry when you respect a few simple boundaries,
00:22:24.900
meter, rhyme, really basic stuff. When you get rid of those boundaries, you get slam poetry,
00:22:30.900
which is the death of art. It's the worst thing ever. That's where we are. I think this might be
00:22:36.120
the issue. We need to recognize that Nancy Pelosi's idea that the great thing about America is dancing
00:22:43.440
around in drag. The great thing about America is the freedom, quote unquote, to dance around like a
00:22:47.780
transvestite. No, that isn't it. We know that that's not it. We know that's not what the founding
00:22:52.500
fathers thought. We know that that's not what anybody thought in this country until five minutes ago.
00:22:56.180
For goodness sakes, transvestitism was illegal in much of America for much of the 19th century
00:23:01.620
and parts of the 20th century, including San Francisco. So we know that's not what America's
00:23:06.400
about. If your idea of America is that that's what America's about, then your idea is wrong.
00:23:12.840
We need to go back to history, to our tradition, to our actual culture and say, wait, where did we go
00:23:18.080
wrong? When you're twerking on the cops and grooming and transing the kids, something has gone
00:23:24.340
wrong. Speaking of your kids, you don't want to make sure they're taken care of someday when you
00:23:29.120

00:25:05.840
special, sneak, exclusive premiere, but the public premiere is tomorrow. So I'll tell you what I think.
00:25:12.760
If it's no good, I'll tell you, don't worry about it. I have heard this movie is phenomenal. It's
00:25:16.580

a Q&A following the movie. Head on over to dailywire.com slash Gina now. We'll be right back with a lot more.
00:25:55.540
I mentioned it a little bit earlier. There is this strange thing about pride, which is that there's a
00:26:02.100
lot of satanic imagery. It just keeps popping up little devil horns and tridents and, you know,
00:26:10.940
allusions to sin and evil and transgression. And it's just weird. Demons. You notice the drag queens
00:26:18.380
often look like demons, especially at the drag queen story hour. What's that about?
00:26:24.520
What is that? Well, in Cor Deligne, Idaho, in the Pride in the Park event, which is billed as
00:26:29.760
family friendly, they're going to feature the satanic temple. The satanic temple is going to be there
00:26:37.060
along with performances by drag queens and other progressive institutions.
00:26:41.880
If you are a Christian, if you are a practicing Jew, if you're a practicing Muslim, this will not
00:26:47.940
surprise you. You say, yeah, of course. And you've got these people who are violating the moral order
00:26:56.180
and dancing around like chicks in front of children and sexualizing them. Yeah, no surprise that there's
00:27:03.320
going to be satanic imagery around that. But if you're agnostic, if you're an atheist, if you're a
00:27:09.680
secularist, you might be a little confused by this. Say, what does one have to do with the other?
00:27:15.900
Drag queens, that's just about pursuing your own sexual identity and being true to your authentic
00:27:20.340
self, even though that authentic self has nothing to do with your actual body or nature. But, you know,
00:27:26.020
it's somehow it's your authentic self. And so why on earth would that have anything to do with the devil?
00:27:29.620
Okay. Regardless of one's confusion here, can we all agree, can we please all agree to keep the
00:27:39.520
Satanists out of it? The Satanists recently have been going to public schools. They've been going
00:27:44.340
to elementary schools and holding after elementary school extracurricular activities for kids. Can we
00:27:49.820
all agree, just like we can all agree, unless you're an executive at Fox News, that, but if you're a
00:27:55.160
normal, ordinary person, we all agree it's not good to trans the kids. Don't mess up a five-year-old's
00:28:01.080
genitals and permanently mutilate their bodies, right? We all agree on that. Can we all agree,
00:28:06.780
keep the Satanists away from the kids and out of the public square? I'm comfortable agreeing with
00:28:12.520
that. Some people might not be, though, because they say, well, that's a violation of the separation
00:28:17.520
of church and state. Michael, if you think that the Christians ought to have a place in the public
00:28:21.260
square, which increasingly they don't, by the way, according to our secular enlightened rulers. But
00:28:26.000
if you think the Christians ought to have a place in the public square, if you think the Jews or the
00:28:29.820
Muslims ought to have a place in the public square, surely we have to allow the Satanists to. That's
00:28:34.340
what freedom of religion means in America. That's what America's all about, is allowing
00:28:39.240
Baphomet worshipers to try to spread their satanic message to the masses, right? Is that what it's
00:28:45.340
about? I don't know. If you asked George Washington or John Adams or Thomas Jefferson,
00:28:51.820
even, he was probably the most lib among the founders. If you said, hey guys, you just created
00:28:56.640
this country, codified it in these founding documents. Would you say America's all about
00:29:02.380
letting Satanists prey on the people? They would laugh at you. They would laugh at you if they
00:29:08.220
weren't tar and feathering you. Okay, obviously that's not what America is all about. But then how do we get
00:29:13.840
around it? Because we have this idea of freedom of religion in America. So how do you get around
00:29:19.000
booting the Satanists out? I think that the Satanists should be completely ostracized from
00:29:25.620
society. We have groups that are completely ostracized from society. If at this pride parade,
00:29:32.720
the Ku Klux Klan decided they wanted to host a booth, do you think they would be permitted to do that?
00:29:38.900
Do you really believe that the organizers of the pride parade would allow the Ku Klux Klan
00:29:43.720
to have a booth there? I don't think so. Do you think the government would allow the Ku Klux Klan
00:29:48.440
to have a booth there? Let's say the government were running this parade. They actually might be.
00:29:52.180
Would the government allow the Ku Klux Klan to be there and they set up their little booth and
00:29:55.900
they've got all their hoods and they've got a burning cross next to the, and they're just signing
00:29:59.320
people up to join the Klan. Do you think that that would be permitted? Of course not.
00:30:04.340
No one, no one would permit that anywhere in America.
00:30:10.480
Satanists are at least as bad as the Klan, right? People who worship the devil are at least as bad
00:30:19.660
as people who hate other people because of their race or whatever, and who intimidate other people
00:30:26.480
and scared. People who commit evil acts are bad enough, but people who literally worship evil
00:30:36.660
are at least that bad, right? I suspect they're much worse. So if we're going to ostracize the Klan,
00:30:43.280
why wouldn't we ostracize the Satanists? Because we've fallen for this trap of the libs that they
00:30:49.880
convinced us in the middle of the 20th century when all of this changed, that actually, you know,
00:30:54.580
the true meaning, the true meaning of America, the true, what we're really all about in the
00:30:59.000
Constitution is supporting drag queens and Satanism and grooming the kids and upending all of our
00:31:07.600
institutions. That's the true meaning of America. Of course it's not. It was a lie and the conservatives
00:31:11.720
just fell for it, which is too bad. You want to talk about an inversion of rights? Look up at America's
00:31:17.000
hat right now. Justin Castro, Justin Castro Trudeau up in Canada has just declared that while maybe you
00:31:26.860
can still keep some of your guns in Canada, you cannot use the guns for self-defense.
00:31:32.940
There are debates and we have a culture where the difference is guns can be used for hunting or for
00:31:39.940
sport shooting in Canada. And there are lots of gun owners and they're mostly lost by respecting and
00:31:45.240
law-abiding. But you can't use a gun for self-protection in Canada. That's not a right that you have in the
00:31:51.420
Constitution or anywhere else. If you try and buy a gun and say it's for self-protection, no, you don't
00:31:55.900
get that. You get it for hunting. You can get it for sport shooting. You can take it to the range.
00:31:59.780
No problem, as long as you go through our rigorous background checks. But there's a difference around
00:32:04.300
the culture. And one of the things that we're seeing with the debate in the States is you get more and more
00:32:09.040
of the American style right to carry self-defense arguments filtering up through the usual more
00:32:17.760
right-wing communications channels. He's talking about us, by the way. Trudeau is blaming us for
00:32:24.220
radicalizing the Canadians to believe they have a right to self-defense. They don't have a right to
00:32:29.440
self-defense. You only have a right to go hunting, maybe with your guns. And as usual, Trudeau gets this
00:32:35.820
exactly backwards. No one has a natural right to go hunting. You don't. That's not what the right
00:32:44.420
to guns has ever been about. You do not have a right to go shooting clays at the range, as he suggests
00:32:52.660
that you do. The only reason that you have a right to arm yourself is for self-defense. Friends of mine,
00:33:03.060
liberal relatives and friends of mine will say, Michael, look, I'm okay with some guns, but only
00:33:08.400
guns for hunting. You don't need an AR-15 to go hunting. First of all, you actually can hunt some
00:33:14.900
animals with an AR-15. But second of all, the Second Amendment is not for hunting. It is for
00:33:21.020
self-protection, protecting, say, your home from a burglar, protecting yourself and your family
00:33:28.000
if you're attacked on the street, and ultimately protecting yourself from even a state actor that
00:33:36.960
is tyrannical and if you are justified in protecting yourself in order to fulfill that. That's why the
00:33:44.360
Second Amendment recognizes the right inherited from the British, a right that isn't just inherited
00:33:50.120
from the British. It goes all the way back to the natural law. We have a natural right to protect
00:33:54.480
ourselves. And that's the right that Trudeau is attacking, saying, no, no, no, no. It's not just
00:34:02.060
an attack on gun ownership. He's okay with some guns. He's saying, no, it's all right. You can keep
00:34:06.100
some of your guns. He's attacking the natural law, which is what this is all about. This is what all
00:34:11.560
these people keep attacking. It's not even that they're attacking specific cultural institutions or
00:34:16.480
civil rights. They're really attacking the natural law and natural reality and the difference between
00:34:21.880
boys and girls and the fact that babies are babies and the fact that we have, and we can know through
00:34:27.400
our reason, we know that we have a right to protect ourselves from weirdos like Justin Trudeau.
00:34:34.620
You have to protect yourself. It would be like saying, look, here in Canada, we are fine with you
00:34:43.320
possessing pipe cleaners. You know those little fuzzy little pipe cleaners? We're fine, but you can only
00:34:49.260
use that for kindergarten arts and crafts projects. You cannot use that to clean a pipe. No, no, that's
00:34:57.240
very, you have no right to use the pipe cleaner to clean a pipe, but you can use it to decorate little
00:35:02.300
boxes when you, when you do arts and crafts with your kids. No, no. Cleaning a pipe is what a pipe
00:35:07.620
cleaner is for. Self-defense is what a gun is for. You have to protect yourself. Think about the
00:35:13.920
Kavanaugh's. Fortunately, the Supreme Court justices have some protection now given to them by the
00:35:19.120
state. Brett Kavanaugh had a couple of US marshals sitting outside his house. That's how they were
00:35:23.080
able to stop the guy who showed up to kill him in his home, in his bed next to his wife with his
00:35:27.920
daughters down the hallway. The guy who came all the way from California because he was upset that
00:35:32.300
Kavanaugh is a conservative judge who's going to rule on cases he doesn't like. Luckily, he was able
00:35:38.160
to be protected. What about you and me? What about all the rest of us? What about people who don't
00:35:43.700
have 24-7 security? You need to have a gun to protect yourself. Do you know how the liberal
00:35:49.260
networks covered the assassination attempt on Brett Kavanaugh? You know, cable TV, I don't have cable
00:35:56.640
anymore. I don't watch this stuff. I only ever find this stuff when I'm looking on Twitter and the
00:36:00.600
clips go around. Even the Fox News, I wasn't watching Fox News. I just saw the clip going around.
00:36:05.260
A few people texted it to me, actually. And they wanted me to tweet it out because a lot of
00:36:12.600
conservatives rely on Fox News to be able to go and promote their own stuff. That's why there's
00:36:18.700
been some reticence on the conservative right to criticize Fox News here. But you got to do it.
00:36:23.340
You got to call a spade a spade. And so a number of people are doing that now. But do you know how
00:36:29.660
the other shows covered this stuff? ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN? On the Sunday shows, the big Sunday show to
00:36:36.700
recap the week, ABC, this week, zero mentions of the attempted Kavanaugh assassination. NBC,
00:36:45.260
meet the press, zero mentions of the attempted Kavanaugh assassination. CBS, face the nation,
00:36:51.440
zero mentions of the attempted Kavanaugh assassination. CNN, zero mentions on the Sunday show.
00:36:58.300
Zero, nothing. They completely block it out. You're going to hear wall-to-wall coverage of
00:37:04.160
the January, January 6th, the worst day in American history. Not even the worst insurrection of that
00:37:12.320
year, but no, the worst day ever. You're going to hear that wall-to-wall. You're going to hear about
00:37:15.900
this fake group. I'm sorry, this potentially real group, Patriot Front, and the attack that they
00:37:22.460
almost did, but they were foiled by our intrepid federales. You're going to hear a lot about that.
00:37:29.100
You will not hear about the attempted, pretty near assassination of a Supreme Court justice
00:37:35.120
by a leftist lunatic. The establishment papers, do you know how they covered it?
00:37:39.900
Not very well. This is a hat tip here to Steve Guest, who put side by side the various newspapers here.
00:37:47.440
There was no mention of the assassination attempt on Kavanaugh on the front pages of the Chicago
00:37:54.460
Tribune or USA Today. Not even a mention, not even a little tiny thing in the corner. Hey,
00:38:00.900
a leftist guy came pretty close to assassinating Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh after the
00:38:05.780
White House had encouraged illegal protests outside of the justice's house. No, no mention there.
00:38:11.900
And then the New York Times and the LA Times, they did put it on the page, but it wasn't the top
00:38:17.560
headline as it should have been. They put a little tiny bit down in the corner, tiny little small
00:38:21.420
phone. Oh yeah, by the way, by the way, there was this little attempt. It's no big deal. Nothing
00:38:25.340
to see here. Move along, move along. Talk about January 6th. January 6th. It's so, so, so silly.
00:38:33.980
And then they doubled down on the issue because there's the attack. First, you had the leak of
00:38:40.520
the Supreme Court opinion. Unprecedented in how this was done for this major opinion.
00:38:46.540
This was leaked. Then you had a left-wing group dox the justices and call for people to protest
00:38:53.440
outside of the justice's house, which is illegal according to federal law. Then the left-wingers
00:38:58.620
came out there and screamed and yelled outside the justice's house. Alito had to be moved into
00:39:02.160
protection. The other justices stayed at their homes. And the White House was asked about this.
00:39:06.520
They say, hey, what do you think about these illegal protests outside the house? They say,
00:39:09.160
yeah, no big deal, whatever. Yeah, it's peaceful so far. It's cool. Yeah, we don't have an official
00:39:15.140
position on where people should protest. Wink. Yeah, no, that's fine. We like this civil engagement,
00:39:22.480
even outside their homes. And then what happens? Some wacko, encouraged by them, decides to try to
00:39:28.240
kill Kavanaugh. They brushed that under the rug. And then AOC, even after the attempt on Kavanaugh's
00:39:35.180
life, goes on social media and brags about how she voted against increasing security for the justices.
00:39:43.380
Now, I wake up this morning and I start to hear murmurs that there's going to be an attempt to pass
00:39:47.920
the Supreme Court supplemental protection bill. The day after gun safety legislation for schools and kids
00:39:55.880
and people is stalled. Oh, so we can pass protections for us and and here easily. Right.
00:40:05.140
But we can't pass protections for everyday people. I think not. I think not. AOC seems to think that
00:40:11.520
she is a member of the Supreme Court, which mercifully she is not yet. She is a member of Congress.
00:40:16.660
She says, well, look, the Republicans won't vote to give me my radical gun control bills, which have
00:40:23.880
very little to do with protecting schools. Because don't forget, the Republicans agreed to protect
00:40:29.420
schools. They said, look, Democrats and Republicans, we can come together and at least agree, lock the
00:40:34.960
doors at schools. We can at least agree, have an armed guard at the schools, at least one, maybe two.
00:40:39.640
We can really basic stuff. We're not going to agree on gun control legislation. Even left wing
00:40:43.900
outlets like the Washington Post admit that the gun control legislation that has been
00:40:47.940
proposed in recent years would not have stopped recent mass shootings. So look, that's very
00:40:52.320
contentious. You guys are just using this. You're exploiting the school shooting to try to push the
00:40:56.860
same old laws that you've been pushing for 50 years. So let's table that for a second. We can agree
00:41:01.480
on protecting schools, right? The Democrats say no. And they say, okay, well, look, people are trying
00:41:05.340
to murder the Supreme Court justices. Can't we at least agree to put a couple more security guards by
00:41:09.360
their house? And what is AOC? She says no. She says no. Because the attempt on Kavanaugh's life
00:41:19.100
was not a fluke. It was not an unfortunate, unforeseen consequence of what the Democrats
00:41:25.700
have been calling for. It was the point. The Democrats have been threatening these judges,
00:41:30.360
Kavanaugh in particular. Don't forget, Chuck Schumer goes out there. He says, we're going to unleash the
00:41:33.840
whirlwind, Brett Kavanaugh. We're coming for you, Brett Kavanaugh. They've been saying this for years now,
00:41:38.580
and they've really ramped it up in recent weeks. So is it any surprise that when someone tries to
00:41:43.060
kill Kavanaugh, they say, yeah, we're not giving you any more security? Of course not. That was the
00:41:46.980
point the whole time. Speaking of intellectually, morally, emotionally stunted women, there's a sixth
00:41:57.220
grade teacher who just took to TikTok. So I think it was TikTok. Maybe it was Facebook. Maybe it was
00:42:04.680
Instagram. I don't know. It was at least provided to us by Libs of TikTok. One of the greatest
00:42:09.500
journalists of our age, Libs of TikTok. And this sixth grade teacher was crying, was crying on the
00:42:15.240
video because she said that her sixth grade students made her feel so safe when she came out to them as
00:42:22.920
queer. I've been wanting to do this for the past two years. Sorry, I'm like so emotional.
00:42:33.780
And I just haven't had the courage to do it out of fear of just judgment, mostly from their parents.
00:42:40.000
But I had these kids in fourth grade and now I have them in sixth and I'm sending them to middle
00:42:45.840
school and I love these kids so much and I trust them and they make me feel safe. And I know they love
00:42:50.860
me and just felt right and I did it and it was so beautiful. They had so many questions, which I
00:43:03.000
loved. They wanted to learn and they wanted to learn about me and they were so eager and a few of them
00:43:10.220
clapped, which was so precious. The 11-year-olds clapped for me when I told them about my sexual desires
00:43:18.220
and how my sexual desires are a little different than what are considered normal. These 11-year-old
00:43:23.900
little tiny children, not even teenagers yet, they just make me feel so safe and I'm sorry if I'm
00:43:29.040
crying. It's just I really need the affirmation, the sexual affirmation of 11-year-olds. Hi, I'm a
00:43:37.460
sixth grade teacher. Mike Cernovich made a really great point on this video in particular, pointed out
00:43:43.700
it's not even that they're all pedos. I've said this for a while. I don't think that these teachers
00:43:50.160
are all pedophiles. They are groomers, but they're not. I don't think it's because they want to do
00:43:56.320
weird stuff. Well, they do want to do weird stuff to kids. I don't think it's that they want to have a
00:43:59.640
sexual relationship with kids. I think it's that they are very stunted people who have never grown up,
00:44:07.320
who have never been educated, who have never matured. And so they're just kids themselves.
00:44:13.600
That woman should not be teaching a classroom, not only because she doesn't seem particularly
00:44:20.600
well-balanced or well-grounded, but she isn't mature. If you're a teacher, you should not be relying
00:44:28.320
on your 11-year-old students for affirmation. Okay, you shouldn't be crying and sobbing and confiding
00:44:35.580
in them about your sex life. It's really weird and creepy, and it's not good for them, but it's sad
00:44:41.980
for you. And you need to figure something out, and you need to grow up a little bit before you can hold
00:44:48.920
any job, really, but certainly before you can be expected to educate children. You can't educate
00:44:54.760
children if you are still a child yourself. Speaking of these maturity issues, you're going to be
00:45:01.400
shocked to hear this story. Totally. It's not exactly a man bites dog story. This is from the
00:45:06.060
National Pulse. A former head of a foundation that runs a Drag Queen Story Hour program, this guy Brett
00:45:13.540
Blom, he was just arrested for kiddie porn. Can you believe that? This guy who ran an organization
00:45:21.320
that sends perverts into libraries and classrooms to twerk for little kids. Programs, by the way,
00:45:28.620
Drag Queen Story Hour that have not infrequently had sexual offenders go in, people who had already
00:45:35.660
committed sex crimes with kids go in and participate in this program. Turns out that guy had child
00:45:40.860
pornography. Can you imagine? Isn't that so shocking? He was the head of the Cream City LGBTQ
00:45:46.160
Plus Foundation that runs the Drag Queen Story Hour program. He's 38 years old. He was taken into
00:45:54.080
custody, quote, following an investigation into multiple uploads of child pornography through the
00:45:59.440
Kik messaging application account. Kik, that's another one. There's too many social media accounts.
00:46:05.940
There's TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Kik. What is Kik? Are we going to have Kiks of TikTok? No,
00:46:11.200
Libs of Kik? I don't know. If this is what Kik is being used for, I definitely don't want Libs of Kik.
00:46:15.580
He was, he uploaded these a couple years ago and he just got arrested.
00:46:22.800
There is a weird overlap here. Okay, I'm not saying that everyone who is promoting Drag Queen
00:46:29.540
Story Hour is a pedo. I don't think that they are. I'm not saying that everyone who is promoting these
00:46:35.440
bizarre pride parades where people in chaps with their sort of cosmetically altered appendages
00:46:42.940
hanging out, jiggling in front of kids. I'm not even saying that they're all pedos.
00:46:48.180
Probably, probably some of them are, but I'm not saying that they all are. But there is a weird
00:46:52.660
overlap. There is just something intrinsically disordered about demanding that we sexualize
00:47:01.920
kids and we talk about sex to kids and that we introduce kids to sexual concepts and that we
00:47:08.580
that we promote extremely graphic sexual ideologies among kids and that we even mutilate the sexual
00:47:17.780
organs of kids. There's something really, really messed up about that. And the whole, not the whole
00:47:23.360
country has gone. I think most of the country is against this. But every elite institution has fallen
00:47:29.640
under its sway. Every single one. Schools and the government and the online food ordering companies
00:47:36.780
and the news media and the quote unquote conservative news media. It's all fallen under
00:47:42.540
the sway. There are certain reasons for this. There are actually some financial reasons for this as
00:47:47.360
well in the way that corporations are structured. Maybe we'll get into that later this week. But there
00:47:50.880
is just a cultural mania that has taken root among the people who run our country. And look, I trust in
00:47:58.960
the American people to have common sense and I think we still do have common sense. But elites can do a lot
00:48:03.920
of damage. Even if the elites are a minority, even if the elites in terms of their actual numbers are relatively
00:48:08.800
small, people who control the institutions can do a whole lot of damage. And we have gotten as far down the
00:48:17.460
slippery slope as I could possibly imagine if the American people do not push back. Now, I can't, I can't think of
00:48:23.560
anything worse that this could fall to. It will, but I can't think of anything worse. This is the moment to push
00:48:30.320
back. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show. See you tomorrow.
