The Michael Knowles Show

00:00:00.000 After more than a month-long trial, after years of investigations, New York prosecutors

00:00:05.360 have convicted two Trump-owned entities of tax crimes. And if you listen to the establishment

00:00:12.320 media, you understand that that means that they've got him now. The walls are closing in.

00:00:21.500 Donald Trump is done. Where have I heard that before?

00:00:25.980 Donald Trump's done. He's done. There's no question about that. He's done. Breaking news.

00:00:33.680 A bombshell. Today is a turning point. Today was historically bad for President Trump. Today

00:00:38.560 was a turning point. A turning point. We're at a turning point here. The beginning of the end

00:00:43.500 for the Trump presidency. The beginning of the end. And breaking news. We have another bombshell.

00:00:49.100 Mike Pence might have to assume the office of the presidency. The call for impeachment.

00:00:53.500 Rumblings of the word impeachment. Breaking news. Another bombshell out of the White House.

00:00:58.120 I believe this is the beginning of the end. I do too. It's really the beginning of the end.

00:01:01.960 The beginning of the end. He may be feeling the walls closing in on him. All the walls closing

00:01:06.160 in on him. The walls closing in on him. Breaking news. A new bombshell. One astrologer says this

00:01:11.720 means the beginning of the end for President Donald Trump. The beginning of the end of the

00:01:15.240 Trump presidency. Trump will resign. Trump is going to resign. Is this the tipping point? I know we've

00:01:20.380 said it over and over. You think this is a tipping point? And over and over. This is a

00:01:25.140 tipping point. And over and over. Breaking news. President Trump off the rails. It was the beginning

00:01:29.660 of the end today. Okay, so maybe the Libs have cried wolf before, but surely they've got him this

00:01:35.760 time. I mean, I have got the New York Times report on this case right here. And right here in the report,

00:01:41.960 it is clear that Donald Trump has not been convicted of any crime. Actually, apparently,

00:01:49.120 he wasn't even charged with any crime. But the tax fraud does come with a maximum penalty of

00:01:56.320 $1.62 million, which even the Times describes as, quote, a rounding error for Mr. Trump.

00:02:06.240 $1.62 million. That is significantly less than the amount of taxpayer money Democrats have wasted

00:02:15.380 investigating and prosecuting this case. But still, according to the Times, this verdict represents

00:02:22.660 a highly public reckoning for the Trump organization, forever branding it as a felonious

00:02:29.500 enterprise, now perhaps best known for its conviction. So this verdict doesn't hurt Donald

00:02:38.240 Trump legally or financially or politically. But the New York Times is confident that it will

00:02:47.220 change people's opinions about the most famous and polarizing man on earth. The reputation of the man

00:02:55.220 the liberals have spent years smearing as an incontinent, lecherous, incestuous, traitorous,

00:03:03.220 insurrectionist will never be able to survive a minor tax fine. They've got him now.

00:03:13.060 I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:03:14.960 Welcome back to the show. I hope we can make it through the whole show. There is a shot.

00:03:25.700 We will have the technical difficulty of the walls closing in, in which case the cameras and the desk

00:03:30.660 would be smushed. But we're going to try to avoid it. I think we're going to probably make it just

00:03:34.500 fine. My favorite comment yesterday is from Jodman Cusland, who says, Michael keeps talking about how

00:03:39.660 his books would be great gift ideas. Yet every time I check the DW shop, they're sold out. I've

00:03:45.460 become one of those desperate people constantly checking stock. Do I have to head down to DW

00:03:49.260 headquarters and camp out for days until my consumer needs are met? Don't threaten me with a good time,

00:03:54.180 Michael. Well, you certainly can do that. I don't want to discourage you from doing that. But also,

00:03:57.820 if the DW shop is sold out, which apparently they are and probably will be until Christmas,

00:04:03.280 you can get Speechless Controlling Words, Controlling Minds, my number one national bestselling

00:04:07.700 book with words in it. And you can get Reasons to Bud for Democrats, a comprehensive guide,

00:04:12.520 which is my number one Amazon bestselling book without words in it, endorsed by President Trump.

00:04:17.200 You can get both of them anywhere. You can get them on Amazon, Barnes and Noble,

00:04:21.740 Indie Books, your local bookshop, wherever fine books are sold. So head on to it. If DW has run out,

00:04:30.840 you can find it elsewhere, okay? You can do it. You can actually run down to the store,

00:04:35.900 especially if you're in good shape because of your Echelon. Right now, text Knowles to 818181.

00:05:59.580 In other news, forgetting for a second the 2024 presidential race. In other news,

00:06:07.220 Georgia voted last night. Raphael Warnock has defeated Herschel Walker in the race.

00:06:13.940 I'm not totally surprised by this outcome. And I'm not totally surprised that they called the race

00:06:19.280 either. Yesterday and the day before, the establishment media were preparing people to

00:06:23.540 say this is going to be a close race. And therefore, we're not going to know the results

00:06:27.960 very likely on election night. It might take days or weeks to count the ballots.

00:06:32.080 And it was a very close race. But the only reason that a close race would result in it taking days

00:06:39.520 and weeks to count the ballots is if Herschel had been leading. But because Raphael Warnock was

00:06:44.660 leading, they were willing to call the race. And the remaining votes that are yet to be counted

00:06:48.760 seem like they'll break for Warnock. You can say that this is very unfair to Republicans

00:06:56.320 because of the widespread mail-in ballots, because of the early voting, because of all

00:07:01.360 the stupid voter laws that heavily favored Democrats. That is certainly true. That was

00:07:05.720 kind of baked in, though, from the beginning. We knew that that was the case. Republicans in

00:07:10.020 Georgia should have done more to tighten up the election laws, if that was a real number one

00:07:13.900 concern. The RNC should have done more to fight these issues. They did not. I'm not terribly

00:07:18.280 surprised that Herschel lost. Herschel was not the strongest candidate in the primary. I wasn't

00:07:24.180 convinced that he was the strongest candidate. A lot of people were taken with the fact that he

00:07:29.220 is a sports legend. And they thought that people would just go down to the ballot box because of

00:07:34.800 that. I was never totally convinced on that. I actually think that when people look at candidates

00:07:41.580 that way and they say, well, the candidate's just super duper famous. So therefore, all those dumb

00:07:47.280 lemmings who don't know anything about politics, they'll go pull the lever for them. I don't think that

00:07:51.260 is respectful to the voters. That was, I think, the calculus for the push to make Dr. Oz the nominee

00:07:58.780 in Pennsylvania, even though I thought Dr. Oz was a very weak Republican candidate. And so I'm not

00:08:03.620 terribly surprised. It's also a little silver lining, not terribly consequential. The Democrats

00:08:09.380 already had control of the Senate. So it's not as though had Herschel Walker won, Republicans would

00:08:15.220 have control of the Senate. It would have been a better situation for Republicans, would have been

00:08:18.560 easier to pry one Democrat vote away than to now try to pry two Democrat votes away. But not terribly

00:08:24.440 unexpected, not terribly consequential. Sad nonetheless. And two takeaways here are Republicans

00:08:31.240 need to focus on issues that matter probably a little bit more than just voter ID when it comes

00:08:38.560 to picking candidates. And we got to fix the voter laws, guys. And we got to get rid of early voting.

00:08:43.780 And we've got to get rid of the widespread mail-ins. And we've got to tighten up voter

00:08:47.140 integrity. Democrats are going to keep winning as long as that is on the table.

00:08:54.240 Speaking of elections, and speaking of predictions of mine that have come correct, I really should

00:08:59.800 have brought my Nolstradamus hat over here because I offhandedly made a prediction at the end of the

00:09:04.000 show yesterday. I said, there's this one last story I want to get to. It's the time man of the year.

00:09:08.100 And there were all of these candidates, many of whom are just absolute idols of the left.

00:09:15.200 And I said, but we all know that it's going to be Zelensky. Almost certainly it's going to be

00:09:19.480 Zelensky. And it's not going to be Elon Musk. It's not going to be this guy. It's not going to be that

00:09:23.500 guy. It'll be the president of Ukraine. And it is. My producer just told me in my ear, it is in fact

00:09:30.300 Vladimir Zelensky, time man of the year. And he didn't even plunge us into World War III to win it,

00:09:36.040 you know. Although he sort of tried. You have to say, come on, West, go bomb Moscow. Come on.

00:09:41.740 Let's elevate this thing into a global war between nuclear superpowers. That's a good idea.

00:09:46.140 But in any case, he is the man of the year. So tough news for Herschel Walker. Congratulations

00:09:52.080 to President Zelensky. Let's have some better luck next time at the election. Speaking of

00:09:59.180 potentially rigged elections, much more clearly rigged elections in this case,

00:10:04.220 there was a new bombshell with regard to the Twitter files story. This was the story that Elon

00:10:12.360 Musk chose the journalist Matt Taibbi to release about how Twitter colluded with the Democrats to

00:10:19.080 censor the Hunter Biden laptop story to rig the 2020 election for Joe Biden. A major deal. It's not just

00:10:27.640 that they suppressed a news story. They wouldn't let you post the news story in public. They wouldn't let

00:10:32.960 you privately message the news story. That was a tactic that had previously been reserved for child

00:10:39.000 pornography online. And then they added this story that was damaging to Joe Biden as well.

00:10:43.360 And then after the election, 12% of respondents to a survey right after the election said that they

00:10:48.700 would not have voted for Joe Biden had they known about the laptop story. Take it with a grain of salt,

00:10:54.100 but it shows you it was pretty significant. Obviously, the Democrats thought it was significant.

00:10:57.620 That's the way they went to such extraordinary lengths to suppress it. So one thing that was

00:11:01.500 really interesting about the Twitter file story is that though it showed Twitter employees giving

00:11:08.680 advantages to the DNC, taking marching orders from Democrats, you didn't see any evidence of

00:11:15.920 government collusion. And you will recall when I was talking about that story, it may have been

00:11:21.620 yesterday or two days ago. I said, there's more to come. This isn't the end of the story. This is

00:11:27.060 Elon Musk saying, here's the first part of the story, but we are going to get more. And I assume

00:11:32.520 that what comes out now will be an answer to this left-wing rejoinder, which is, well, there was no

00:11:37.520 evidence of government collusion. Wasn't the FBI, wasn't the DOJ. Get over it, Republicans. Well,

00:11:42.280 now it turns out. Do you know who the lawyer in charge of vetting the Twitter files releases

00:11:50.140 from Twitter was? A guy named James Baker, who was a lawyer for the FBI. And he was a lawyer for the

00:11:59.320 FBI that was very, very controversial and involved in all sorts of shady stuff. And the journalists,

00:12:06.580 Barry Weiss is apparently the journalist working on the next release of the Twitter file story.

00:12:12.620 She finds out, she says, wait, hold on. Who are we waiting on the vetting for? Who are we waiting on?

00:12:16.360 Oh, it's his lawyer. Who's the lawyer's name? Baker. What's the lawyer's first name? James Baker.

00:12:20.560 James Baker. She said her jaw dropped to the floor. Do you think that might have something to do

00:12:26.780 with the fact that the FBI was not mentioned in the Twitter files release? That the guy whose job it was

00:12:32.140 to scrub the Twitter files was a lawyer for the FBI, which Elon Musk did not know about until yesterday

00:12:40.500 when he fired the guy. Good that Elon's fired him. But it's just an amazing state that we're in right

00:12:50.260 now, which is that the Democrats pull shenanigans. But then so much of their corruption is not even

00:12:57.480 about whatever original action they're trying to take. So much of their corruption is about making

00:13:03.340 sure that the corruption they already engaged in never comes out. So much of the FBI and DOJ corruption

00:13:08.760 in 2016 was about destroying the Trump campaign so that it never came out that they spied on the

00:13:16.760 Trump campaign in the first place, did the bidding of the Democrats. So much of this Twitter corruption

00:13:21.340 is, yes, we know they censored the story. But now you have this apparent cover up to make sure that

00:13:27.120 it never comes out that the FBI was involved as well. When we know that the FBI pressured Facebook

00:13:31.400 to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story. So does anybody really believe there was no connection here,

00:13:37.220 no communication between the FBI and Twitter? For goodness sakes, the lawyer vetting it was a

00:13:41.900 lawyer for the FBI. Give me a break and give me the second round of those Twitter files. Cannot wait

00:15:09.300 303 Creative v. Ennis, which is a case about whether or not the state of Colorado can force

00:15:16.340 a wedding website designer to engage in speech that violates her religious views.

00:15:23.160 Whether the state of Colorado can force a wedding website designer

00:15:26.460 to participate in a quote-unquote gay marriage. So not marriage as it was understood for all of

00:15:33.940 human history until 2015, but this new definition of marriage which takes away the intrinsic nature of

00:15:41.600 marriage, which violates the religious beliefs of Christians, Jews, Muslims, and many other people

00:15:48.240 who have less well-defined religions. The White House has now weighed in on this question, and the

00:15:53.560 White House answer is yes.

00:15:56.620 We recognize the right to free speech, and we support ensuring that no one is discriminated

00:16:03.520 against or refused services because of who they love and who they are. And so, as you know,

00:16:08.840 we've been very clear about that. The administration believes that every person, no matter their sex,

00:16:13.480 race, religion, or who they love should have the equal access to society, including access to

00:16:20.320 products and services on the same terms as other members of public. Look, Department of Justice said

00:16:27.080 in its brief that for decades, non-discrimination public accommodations laws have coexisted with the

00:16:34.640 First Amendment. Courts have recognized that we can require businesses open to public to service

00:16:42.340 people regardless of their backgrounds, even when that means businesses must incidentally

00:16:47.720 engage in speech which they disagree upon. So, this is no reason to upend this balance right now.

00:16:57.220 So, Karine Jean-Pierre is saying, we support free speech, and you should have the right to say what

00:17:02.460 you want to say and not say what you don't want to say. But then, very quickly, she says, also,

00:17:08.080 the government has the right to coerce you into saying speech that you don't want to say and that

00:17:11.580 you don't believe in and that violates your religious views. And she's blurring the lines

00:17:15.800 here. She's saying, because the law in the middle of the 20th century came in and forced private

00:17:24.520 businesses to serve people that they didn't want to serve, so gets rid of this idea of freedom of

00:17:29.840 association and says that to solve the scourges of racism and all these historic problems in the U.S.,

00:17:36.780 we're going to force you to engage in associations that maybe you don't want to.

00:17:40.700 Because of that, we can now force you to engage in speech that you don't believe in. These are

00:17:47.060 totally separate issues. But she's trying to blur the lines because Karine Jean-Pierre wants it to

00:17:53.000 seem as though forcing this woman, this Christian woman, to participate in a quote-unquote gay marriage

00:17:59.780 is the same thing as forcing the racist innkeeper or the racist restaurant owner to serve black

00:18:08.540 customers when they are completely separate issues. Both very interesting questions, but

00:18:12.720 absolutely completely separate. And she gives it away when at the end she says,

00:18:16.680 and sometimes when we're forcing you to serve customers that you have some awful, terrible

00:18:22.200 prejudice against, incidentally, that will involve compelling speech from you.

00:18:26.540 Well, this isn't incidental when we're talking about the wedding website creator.

00:18:32.780 Yes, it's true. If a restaurant owner has to serve a customer that the restaurant owner doesn't like,

00:18:39.100 that will incidentally compel certain speech like, how do you like your eggs? Do you want milk in your

00:18:44.880 coffee or not? Sure. But that's very different from a person whose job it is to write, a person whose job

00:18:51.480 it is to create text and rhetoric and oratory to go in and use their faculties of creativity and reason

00:19:01.020 to advocate for something that they oppose. When we're talking about someone creating a wedding

00:19:07.580 website and writing up all the content for that website, it's much more akin to a speech writer

00:19:12.080 than it is to a restaurant owner. And nobody would seriously argue that a speech writer,

00:19:16.960 a Republican speech writer is required to write a speech for a Democrat candidate.

00:19:21.480 Well, these days, probably the White House would argue that. So I'll flip it. No one seriously

00:19:25.340 argues that a Democrat speech writer has to be forced to take on a Republican client

00:19:30.400 and write all sorts of things that the Democrat disagrees with. No one seriously argues that.

00:19:38.200 But the White House is just saying, look, we are going to force our will on you. We are going to cram

00:19:44.000 this radical and absurd definition of marriage down everybody's throat. Even if you're Christian,

00:19:49.180 Jewish, Muslim, whatever, we don't care. Your religious views mean nothing to us. The views,

00:19:54.420 the ordinary views on marriage of everybody for all of human history until five minutes ago

00:19:58.020 means nothing to us. You will comply. You will affirm the absurd thing that we're claiming. Two plus

00:20:03.920 two equals five, and you will love big brother. You will say it. And so the analogy they're making

00:20:10.520 is silly, the comparison to say, well, look, if you're a restauranteur, you have to serve everybody.

00:20:17.380 The 303 creative lady, the wedding website lady is saying, I will serve anybody. I'm not turning

00:20:22.700 away any customers, but I'm only offering this one kind of service, a service for marriage as it is

00:20:30.360 traditionally understood. So I'm not, I'm not, I'm also not making websites for baseball teams.

00:20:36.220 You know, I'm not making websites for PR agencies. I'm making websites for weddings. I understand

00:20:42.860 weddings to be this thing, and I'm not going to violate my religious views. Any customer can come

00:20:48.460 to me. The gayest guy in the world, Liberace himself can walk up to me and say, I'm going to get

00:20:51.680 married, make me a wedding website. She will do that as long as he's getting married to a woman,

00:20:56.280 which is intrinsic to the very nature of marriage. But Corrine Jean-Pierre and the Libs want to,

00:21:02.120 and the liberals on the Supreme Court, by the way, want to blur this and say, no, no,

00:21:07.040 this is just like the racist restaurant owners. And if you have a business, you cannot turn away

00:21:12.700 customers because of certain characteristics, their race, or their this, or their that, or who they love,

00:21:19.900 or what they believe, right, or on their religion. But this is very awkward because as the

00:21:26.140 Libs are blurring these two things and making that claim about the restaurant, they are

00:21:32.400 simultaneously turning down conservative customers and Christian customers, turning them away from

00:21:40.580 their restaurants. This just happened in Richmond. The liberals violating the ridiculous analogy that

00:21:46.900 Corrine Jean-Pierre is making. This was down at, what is it, Metzger Bar and Butchery last Wednesday.

00:21:53.900 This is a restaurant that canceled a dinner reservation made by a Christian organization

00:21:59.200 because allegedly LGBT members of their staff said they would feel uncomfortable or unsafe.

00:22:07.080 What do you mean they would feel unsafe? Do you think the Christians are going to go in

00:22:10.980 with their violent prayers or something? No. No, you just don't like, the employees don't like the

00:22:17.860 Christians. And so they say, we don't want to serve them. A Christian could never say,

00:22:23.700 we don't, well, a Christian would not say, we don't like these people and so we're not going

00:22:26.900 to serve them. But if a Christian didn't want to say that, they would not be allowed to say that.

00:22:31.620 But the LGBT liberals are allowed to say that to the Christians, apparently.

00:22:36.120 What did the restaurant say? Here's the restaurant statement.

00:22:39.260 Metzger Bar and Butchery has always prided itself on being an inclusive environment for people to dine in.

00:22:43.720 In eight years of service, we have very rarely refused service to anyone who wished to dine

00:22:47.880 with us. Recently, we refused service to a group that had booked an event with us after the owners

00:22:51.760 of Metzger found out it was a group of donors to a political organization that seeks to deprive

00:22:56.500 women and LGBTQ persons of their basic human rights in Virginia. I'm going to translate that

00:23:01.740 for you. It's a group that said, that donated to organizations that say you can't kill babies

00:23:06.640 and that marriage is between a man and a woman. It's the most basic, ordinary,

00:23:11.120 good statements you can make. It says, we have always refused service to anyone

00:23:15.240 for making our staff uncomfortable or unsafe. This was the driving force behind our decision.

00:23:19.740 Many of our staff are women and or members of the LGBT community. All of our staff are people

00:23:24.900 with rights who deserve dignity in a safe work environment. We respect our staff's established

00:23:28.980 rights as humans and strive to create a work environment where they can do their jobs

00:23:32.060 with dignity, comfort, and safety. Not only would the libs defend the right of an LGBT website designer

00:23:43.300 to turn away Christians who wanted to make them violate their own views on marriage or anything else,

00:23:52.180 they are defending the principle that restaurant owners, innkeepers, business owners of any kind

00:24:00.100 have the right to turn away customers on the very basis of their beliefs, on who they are.

00:24:05.680 Not for any service that they're requesting from the business, just because of who the customers are.

00:24:10.720 As always, it should go without saying, the liberals are doing exactly what they are falsely

00:24:18.220 accusing their opponents of doing. It is total projection and it is a complete double standard.

00:24:26.880 But to quote Adrian Vermeule, the Harvard law professor, as I often do, it is not hypocrisy to

00:24:32.160 them. And pointing out the alleged hypocrisy is not going to do anything. The liberals are not

00:24:38.100 asserting a principle for everybody. The liberals are asserting two systems of justice. The liberals

00:24:44.900 are asserting a caste system. The liberals are saying, we will do what we want to do and we have the

00:24:50.660 right to do it because of who we are. And you people have no rights whatsoever. You Christians

00:24:55.560 and the implication is, you Jews, you Muslims, you sensible agnostics. But they only go after

00:25:02.860 Christians because there's political cover to attack Christians. You Christians, you conservatives,

00:25:07.460 you have no rights. You do not have the right to do the things that we will do ourselves because

00:25:12.860 you are bad and we are good. To quote Professor Vermeule, that is not hypocrisy, that is hierarchy.

00:25:20.980 Now, someday we're all going to have to answer for all the bad things that we do. And we're going to

00:25:26.400 get up to St. Peter's Gate. And before that happens, you're going to want to have a will.

00:26:39.440 who has made the news again. I remember seeing something about her earlier, but this is a tenured

00:26:45.520 professor, I believe, or at least tenure track, Brittany Cooper. She's known as Professor Crunk,

00:26:53.680 Assistant Professor of Women's and Gender Studies and Africana Studies at Rutgers University.

00:26:58.860 So you can tell she's definitely the creme de la creme of the scholars. She has some thoughts

00:27:07.080 about white people.

00:27:08.460 I think that white people are committed to being villains in the aggregate, right? The real sort of

00:27:14.700 issue here, and I, you know, I've heard people sort of say it is one, I think that white people

00:27:19.380 viscerally fear. It's not that white people don't know, right? What they have done. They know. They

00:27:25.520 fear that there is no other way to be human, but the way in which they are human, which is to, so,

00:27:31.800 you know, like you talk to white people and whenever you really want to have a reckoning about it,

00:27:35.400 they say stuff like, you know, it's just human nature. If y'all had all of this power, you would

00:27:40.680 have done the same thing, right? And it's like, no, that's what white humans did. White human beings

00:27:46.840 thought there's a world here and we own it. Prior to them, black and brown people have been sailing

00:27:53.100 across oceans, interacting with each other for centuries without total subjugation, domination,

00:27:58.820 and colonialism, right? Just as a little historical fact check here, that, that isn't true. There,

00:28:10.820 there, you did not have black Africans crossing the Atlantic Ocean to interact with the Americans. That

00:28:20.740 didn't, that, that never happened. You didn't have Native Americans crossing the ocean to interact

00:28:26.680 with Europeans and Africans. That, that didn't happen. What, what she's saying is white people,

00:28:32.980 white people are the problem. They're uniquely bad. It isn't just human nature. Listen to what

00:28:37.420 she's saying. She's not saying, look, this is a fallen world and there, but for the grace of God,

00:28:42.400 go I. And you know, some people, a lot of power can corrupt people sometimes. And no, she's saying

00:28:48.220 it's just, it's just white people. White people are bad. Black people, non-white people in general

00:28:53.480 are good. She goes on about power. I do think that all of us can sort of agree that a politics that

00:29:00.240 says like there are superior and inferior human beings just isn't the way to go. And that's the

00:29:05.540 thing that white people don't trust us to do because they are so corrupt. You know, their thinking is so

00:29:11.380 morally and spiritually bankrupt about power that they can't let, you know, they fear viscerally,

00:29:17.880 existentially letting go of power because they cannot imagine that there's another way to be.

00:29:24.080 It is either that you dominate or you are dominated. And isn't it sad that, that that is

00:29:29.780 spiritually who they are and that they can't imagine a sort of more expansive notion of the

00:29:34.140 world. The thing I want to say to you is we got to take these mother out, but I know, but like,

00:29:38.740 we can't say that, right? We can't say like, I don't believe in a project of violence. I truly don't.

00:29:44.340 Because I think in the end that our souls suffer from that.

00:29:48.180 But you did just say that. You just said you accused white people of viewing power dynamics

00:29:58.100 as a relation of the dominant to the dominated and how people have to hold on. The white people

00:30:04.660 believe you have to hold on to power. You're not willing to let it go. Because these white people

00:30:09.140 believe if you let it go, you know, then the people you give the power to are just going to want to

00:30:12.540 take you out. And also I want to take these mother effers out. So she does exact, and she says,

00:30:17.860 I'm not, I can't say that, but you did just say that. And that is obviously what you believe.

00:30:25.240 What this professor, Professor Kronk, Brittany Cooper is expressing is a view of power dynamics

00:30:32.860 that says we need to take power from white people and then we need to punish the white people. Why?

00:30:39.940 There were people out here making worlds, Africans and indigenous people being brilliant and,

00:30:47.260 you know, libraries and inventions and, you know, vibrant notions of humanity and cross-cultural

00:30:53.700 exchange long before white people showed up being raggedy and violent and terrible and trying to

00:30:57.900 take everything from everybody.

00:30:59.280 So there was this history of the cross-cultural exchange and inventions and all this great stuff

00:31:09.600 before those awful raggedy white people showed up and destroyed everything. Just as a matter of

00:31:15.740 historical record, there was not, there was not. Not only was there not a long history of invention

00:31:23.360 and exchange and trade and all of these places, there wasn't even the invention of the wheel.

00:31:31.860 The invention of the wheel did not occur in the Americas or in Africa. They didn't get the wheel

00:31:39.340 until exploration, until, so you might say as often the sort of liberals will say, the anti-colonialism,

00:31:49.220 anti-Western liberals will say. They'll say, well, all these societies were living in this wonderful

00:31:55.400 utopia before the damn white man got there and ruined everything. And it was all basically just

00:32:00.800 Avatar and the Disney version of Pocahontas. So if you're going to make that claim, then you actually

00:32:06.540 would want to say, yeah, there weren't a lot of inventions. There wasn't a ton of technology.

00:32:10.420 You would make the liberal claim that it's actually all of that invention and consumption and

00:32:17.080 capitalism that destroys societies. You would say, no, no, no. Yeah, keep your stupid inventions,

00:32:21.560 Europeans. We hate, we were doing just fine without you. That would be one version of the

00:32:26.620 argument. Or the other version of the argument they could make is, no, we had this thriving,

00:32:30.580 wonderful society with all of these inventions and all of this technological progress. And then

00:32:35.300 you terrible white people came in and screwed it all up. But then if you make that argument,

00:32:39.620 then you can't attack modern capitalism and modern technology and modern industry as very often

00:32:45.240 that the people who make these kinds of arguments do. And here, Professor Cooper is trying to make

00:32:50.520 both simultaneously and it doesn't work. It does not hold up. So what is the upshot of all of this?

00:32:57.320 I mean, she's, she's not making very good arguments. What is the end game here?

00:33:01.480 White folks are not infinite and eternal, right? They ain't going to go on for infinity and infinity.

00:33:07.020 And that's super important to remember that white colonialism and imperialism has a beginning.

00:33:13.200 And in my way of thinking about the world, that means it has an end. And so part of what we are

00:33:19.300 trying to do is to imagine what, what are the steps that we must take to get to the other side

00:33:25.640 of this very inconvenient, you know, epochal interruption of like black and indigenous world

00:33:32.600 making. I mean, does that give people comfort on a day to day when you like just having to deal

00:33:37.620 with white folks and the trap, you know, the travesties that they create in the sense that

00:33:41.980 they want to destroy the planet? Nah, nah, nah, of course not. But the end game is the end of white

00:33:47.740 people. And that's what we all need to hope for and wait for and pray for is that the white people

00:33:51.240 will just disappear. Genocide is what this woman is calling for. Why is this clip going around right

00:33:59.080 now? This clip is not from two days ago. This clip is from last year, I believe. Why is it making the

00:34:05.660 rounds now? It's more important that it's making the rounds now than that it made the rounds a year

00:34:10.380 ago because it's been out there before. And this woman, if she were a different race making comments

00:34:17.400 about people of another race, would be not only fired from her job. Of course she would. She would

00:34:22.880 be banned from everywhere. She would be, she would be kicked off of all social media. She would probably

00:34:28.300 be kicked out of her neighborhood. She would probably be debanked, okay? She would be removed from society

00:34:33.420 and she is not. The reason it matters that we see these kinds of videos and see this kind of commentary

00:34:42.480 is to show you that very point about hierarchy and hypocrisy, okay? The liberal media want to whip us up

00:34:52.960 into a frenzy about anything that you possibly could see on the right. Meanwhile, the things that

00:34:59.320 they say, the things that they do are so, so much more egregious. And it's why I can't get worked up.

00:35:05.860 It's why I just, I simply, to get right back to the first story of the show, I cannot get worked up

00:35:11.080 about the things Trump does. Trump is a freaking choir boy compared to the libs. The stuff that Trump

00:35:17.900 says that the tweets, the mean tweets, the things about people's faces, the tax issue that he had,

00:35:24.520 so he's got this minor tax fine. I just, it's nothing compared to these people. The fact that,

00:35:31.100 I don't know, there was some story about the Republicans pressuring someone to do, I don't

00:35:37.900 even know. Remember, what was the first impeachment thing that they tried? It doesn't even matter when

00:35:42.080 you look at the corruption of the Democrats, when you look at the way that the Democrats

00:35:47.020 and potentially the government now, it seems, were pressuring social media to rig their elections.

00:35:53.060 It's just, I don't care. Because whenever we cover these stories, the Democrats will say,

00:35:58.460 and the libs, and the people on social media, Michael, you can't, you can't suggest there was

00:36:02.920 a problem with the election. You can't, you can't, you have to go out, you've got to constantly

00:36:07.560 attack Republicans whenever they say anything that is not totally approved by Twitter and

00:36:12.060 Facebook. I don't, I don't want to hear it. Listen to the vilest, the absolutely vile rhetoric

00:36:19.040 coming out of this woman's mouth. The fact that no one has cared, it's been out there for a year,

00:36:24.360 that, that tells you more than anything that she or any Republican has to say.

00:36:28.940 Speaking of ending things, there is some good news coming out of Capitol Hill. House Democrats

00:36:34.260 are siding with the GOP against the president, against Joe Biden on the military vaccine mandate.

00:36:43.240 I love this. This is a great story. House Democrats are poised to defy Biden by joining the House

00:36:48.280 Republicans to jettison the requirement for service members to get the COVID vax, according to a new

00:36:52.600 report. Great news. What about the military members who were booted out for not taking the Fauci

00:37:01.840 What about them? 3,400 service members have been discharged from the military for refusing the

00:37:09.820 COVID vaccine. What about them? Are they going to get their jobs back? Are they going to be given

00:37:15.940 back pay? Are they, what's going to happen to those guys? That's the next question. We know this is a

00:37:22.320 winning issue for Republicans. That military vaccine mandate is so deeply unpopular that the House

00:37:28.000 Democrats have to side with the Republicans against Joe Biden to repeal it. That's how deeply unpopular

00:37:34.840 it is. And why are they doing that? Is it because they have integrity? Is it because they've got

00:37:38.180 principles? Is it because of that change of heart? No, no. What are you talking about? It's because

00:37:43.900 they're up for election every two years. And Joe Biden very possibly will not run for reelection again

00:37:50.040 and is insulated from those political forces. Now we've got to push this further. We should not be

00:37:56.100 fighting the modest political battle of repealing this vaccine mandate. Sure, get that done. But

00:38:03.700 you've got to take a lesson from people like Trump. You've actually got to take a lesson from people

00:38:07.480 with the audacity of that professor at Rutgers, okay? Make bolder demands. Donald Trump always talks

00:38:15.580 past the sale. This was one of the great observations of Scott Adams. So he says, look,

00:38:19.640 there was this fraud at Twitter. So now we've got two options. Either you immediately reinstate me as

00:38:24.280 president or we hold a snap election. As though there were no other option there. That's the way

00:38:29.700 that Trump talks. That's what he does. This woman, she says, I don't like white people. So what are we

00:38:34.200 going to do? We're going to pray for their genocide. Not just we're going to change the law to make it

00:38:40.080 tougher for white people. We're going to genocide the white people, okay? That's not advocating that,

00:38:44.520 obviously, not even close. But it shows you fortune favors the bold, okay? The libs are extremely bold.

00:38:51.020 The libs right now are making arguments that a Christian website designer doesn't have the right

00:38:55.140 not to participate in a gay marriage, but also that restaurants have the right to turn away

00:39:00.200 Christians because allegedly an LGBT waiter just doesn't like Christians. And so that's enough

00:39:07.800 reason to turn them away and to refuse them public accommodation, okay? They're making these arguments

00:39:13.080 with a straight face. And what are we doing? We're saying, oh, excuse me, would you think maybe,

00:39:18.060 would it be all right if maybe we just get rid of the military vaccine mandate? Give me a break.

00:39:23.400 Come on. Come on, guys. We talk about gender identity these days. How about we grow some

00:39:29.100 of those anatomical features that we always keep talking about and go a little bit further and get

00:39:33.780 a little bit bolder? Christmas is almost here, everybody. Many of you are already Daily Wire Plus

00:41:24.900 Destroy the economy, their immigration policies, their foreign policy, their vaccine policies,

00:41:29.160 very unpopular. So then you got to ask yourself, why do we keep losing?

00:41:32.260 Why did Herschel Walker lose last night? Why did Cary Lake lose in Arizona? Why did Blake Masters lose

00:41:38.820 in Arizona? Why did we lose the Senate race? Why? You're going to have people who are in the more

00:41:47.360 moderate wing of the party, they're going to blame Donald Trump. You're going to have people

00:41:50.500 who are more in the conservative wing of the party blame the establishment, whatever.

00:41:55.600 I don't really care who you blame, but somebody has to take responsibility. We can't just keep

00:42:04.380 going on and on and on like this. So you've seen this fight play out at the level of the RNC.

00:42:12.140 There is a big fight for the leadership of the Republican National Committee right now.

00:42:15.440 The current chairman is Ronna McDaniel. Conservative attorney Harmeet Dillon said that she's going to

00:42:20.720 challenge Ronna for the chairmanship. There's actually another candidate, Mercedes Schlapp,

00:42:28.240 who's former Trump White House official, wife of Matt Schlapp, who's the head of the American

00:42:32.720 Conservative Union. She has also signaled that she might run for the position, though I'm not sure

00:42:37.320 that she's actually announced yet. Either way, I know all of these women. I like all of these women.

00:42:42.680 And I was struck, again, as we talk about gender dynamics so much these days,

00:42:51.100 does no man want to run the RNC? How come it's only women? We're just like, aren't we the

00:42:55.720 traditional party guys? Don't, isn't it the old, you know, get those Gary Cooper types out there,

00:43:01.440 the strong and silent type and go out there. And what happened to, I don't know. No men want to run

00:43:05.860 the RNC, apparently. But all these women, they're great. I like them all. I'm not making an endorsement.

00:43:11.240 We had Harmeet Dillon on our election coverage last month. I like all of them.

00:43:18.260 We need accountability, though. Okay, so I don't know who's going to take the fall for what

00:43:25.220 happened in the midterms. It could be Ronna, because she's running the RNC. It could be Mitch

00:43:30.640 McConnell, because he's the Republican leader in the Senate. It could be Kevin McCarthy. He's the

00:43:35.540 Republican leader in the House. It could be Donald Trump. He played a big role. It could,

00:43:41.040 I don't know who it's going to be. What I don't want is to just keep doing the same thing over and

00:43:49.260 over and over and expecting different results. And you might say, well, Michael, the Republicans

00:43:53.060 didn't do as well because of voter fraud and because of the rigged elections. Is it the way

00:43:59.600 that the Democrats changed all the rules to benefit them? Yeah, okay, that's fine. Or because the

00:44:03.640 Democrats are doing ballot harvesting, or because the Democrats are smarter at the ballots. And yeah,

00:44:08.440 sure, I'm sure it's all of those things. Well, what are we going to do about it?

00:44:12.980 Why doesn't the RNC have a strategy for ballot harvesting? Why doesn't the RNC have a strategy

00:44:17.920 to get rid of ballot harvesting in the States? Why doesn't the RNC have a strategy for early voting?

00:44:21.940 Why doesn't the RNC have a strategy to get rid of early voting? I just need something, okay?

00:44:26.780 Because it's not enough to just whine and complain and say, oh, well, the Dems outfoxed us.

00:44:32.020 We're hiring you to outfox them. So outfox them, come on. I remember in the early days of this

00:44:37.280 website, Daily Wire, every few months, Facebook would change its algorithm. And we were very,

00:44:43.240 very reliant on Facebook for the algorithm, okay? So we were reliant on them to give us our views.

00:44:51.780 We were reliant on them to make a lot of our money. And so what would we do when they changed

00:44:57.440 the algorithm? Our website traffic would go down and we would say, oh, well, that's the algorithm.

00:45:01.140 Well, no, you can't. You can't just throw your hands up in the air because then you don't have

00:45:04.480 a website anymore, okay? You have to adapt. You have to win. I don't want any more freaking excuses

00:45:11.660 from the Republican Party. Figure it out. Lawlessness is a huge problem here, okay?

00:45:18.580 Look at the Democrats. They don't feel they have to be accountable at all. Joe Biden

00:45:21.780 was just asked what he is doing about the border. Here's Biden's answer.

00:45:27.260 Yeah, we got bigger problems. This is a major problem according to public opinion polls.

00:45:39.880 If you look at public opinion polls right now, the issue of immigration is important to everybody,

00:45:46.040 not just Republicans, Democrats too. The majority of Americans want to drastically reduce all

00:45:50.320 immigration to the United States. But Mr. President, you're flooding the country with

00:45:54.660 two million illegals every single year. Yeah, we got bigger problems. Whatever. Moving on.

00:45:58.140 What are you going to do to me? What are you going to do to me? When you're seeing this lawlessness

00:46:05.420 trickle down everywhere. Look right now in North Philly, there's a gas station owner who has just

00:46:12.440 hired private security to ensure that his customers can fill up their tanks. And when I say private

00:46:19.360 security, by the way, I'm not talking about a mall cop with a billy club. I'm talking about guys who

00:46:25.320 are clad out in black with very impressive black rifles, masks covering their face, hoodies up,

00:46:33.020 armor on. Because in a major American city, the city where we had the Continental Congress, okay,

00:46:41.320 the city with the Liberty Bell, people cannot fill up their gas tanks without fear of being shot.

00:46:47.660 But this is a breakdown of the political order. And you're going to see more of it.

00:46:57.500 You're going to see more and more. I hate to give the libertarians any credit here. But

00:47:01.200 increasingly, you are going to see more and more the wealthy hiring their own security.

00:47:10.440 What did you think was going to happen? The Democrats call for defunding the police and

00:47:13.680 abolishing the police for two years. Well, they did that in many places. And then what happens?

00:47:17.660 You need cops. You need security. And so people are going to start hiring it themselves. And this

00:47:23.740 is the acceleration of a trend that has been really tough in the United States. And it's not only the

00:47:28.140 left's fault. The right has actually played a role in this. For the last half century, you have seen

00:47:34.640 the privatization of our country. And I know the Republicans, for many years at least, talked about

00:47:43.280 how great privatization is. We need to privatize everything. The government's always bad. Well,

00:47:47.120 at a certain point then, you end up in a situation where the people who control your political order

00:47:52.480 are basically completely unaccountable. You privatize the public swear. Okay, now Facebook,

00:47:57.880 Google, and Twitter control the public swear, which means they control the American political order.

00:48:01.660 And until Elon Musk bought it, they all hated us and they could rig elections. If you privatize your

00:48:09.780 whole country away, yes, you've reduced the risk of big government sometimes. But now you're just

00:48:18.040 beholden to corporations. And if my rights and way of life are being taken away by some awful corporation

00:48:23.280 that hates me, I don't feel any better than if the government were taking my rights and my way of

00:48:27.500 life away. Democrats privatized the social sector. Republicans privatized the economy.

00:48:35.060 And now we've got private police forces. That's the best we can do because we don't even have a

00:48:39.240 police force anymore. Not good at all. And you've got Joe Biden saying, oh yeah, our borders, that's not

00:48:47.580 important. That's not an important thing. Speaking of unimportant things, there is a trailer out to a show

00:48:54.240 that I know that they're going to make me watch. I know that Daily Wire is going to force me to watch

00:48:59.660 this. And that fills me with dread. It's really hard to look back on it now and go, what on earth

00:49:09.100 happened? You hear that? That is the sound of hearts breaking all around the world. She's becoming a

00:49:15.520 royal rock star. And then... Everything changed. There's a hierarchy of the family. You know, there's

00:49:26.100 leaking, but there's also planting of stories. There was a war against Meghan to suit other people's

00:49:32.520 genders. It's about hatred. It's about race. It's a dirty game. The pain and the suffering of women

00:49:40.000 marrying into this institution. There's feeding frenzy. I realized they're never going to protect

00:49:47.580 you. I was terrified. I didn't want history to repeat itself. No one knows the full truth.

00:50:01.140 We know the full truth.

00:50:02.100 I love that it ends on that contradiction, just to show you how stupid this whole thing is.

00:50:09.920 No one knows the full truth. We know the full truth. Well, you just said no one knows the full

00:50:15.120 truth, man. This is not giving me confidence. And there's actually some deception in that trailer,

00:50:20.120 too. There's a picture of the paparazzi taking photographs of Meghan Markle. It would seem that's

00:50:26.460 the implication. It's not. It was a photo taken long before Meghan Markle ever entered into the picture.

00:50:32.780 It may have been a photo from a sporting event. So even just that shows you how deceptive this is.

00:50:39.480 But no one's buying this at all, right? No one's buying that nobody knows the trouble that Harry

00:50:44.060 and Meghan have seen. And it's not as though Meghan Markle were just drawn into the royal family

00:50:49.060 accidentally. She met a guy at a bar, and then she finds out after she accepts his wedding proposal,

00:50:54.180 oh my gosh, he's a prince? No. Oh, just my luck. I thought I met a nice accountant who would have a

00:51:01.980 private life in the suburbs. And it turns out his name's Harry. I don't know if you know him. He's

00:51:06.240 got red hair. It turns out he's a prince. Can you imagine? Ah, just my luck. Meghan Markle,

00:51:13.160 who obviously went to England to go prince shopping with the goal of marrying into this family. But

00:51:18.060 why did she want to leave then? Because all she wanted was the perks of the family. And she didn't

00:51:23.000 realize that the family actually serves, that the point of the monarchy is not what the libs and the

00:51:28.660 communists would have you believe, which is just to drink champagne and enjoy all this luxury.

00:51:32.420 The point of the monarchy is actually to suppress your personality, suppress your personal desires,

00:51:37.080 and just serve the country. When you are the sovereign, you are not really permitted to be

00:51:41.860 an individual. You were supposed to suppress all of that. That's what the crown does. That's what the

00:51:47.560 vestments do. This is why priests put on vestments at church on Sunday. And this is why the royalty do

00:51:53.840 that as well. It's not to make themselves look like a rock star or something. Quite the opposite.

00:51:58.140 It's to cover up their personality and to find themselves subsumed within the institution as the

00:52:07.560 sovereign. They don't want to do that. This is another, it actually ties in with what we've been

00:52:14.320 talking about, about privatization. It ties in with this idea that neither the left nor the right want

00:52:20.520 to serve their country anymore. But what John F. Kennedy said when he said, ask not what your

00:52:24.020 country could do for you, but what you can do for your country. That is now a meaningless statement

00:52:27.140 to both the left and the right. Because the left looks at it, they say, I hate my country. My country

00:52:32.500 is an evil, white supremacist, bigoted, terrible. It's the worst place in the world. I want to burn it

00:52:36.000 down. And then the right says, what do I care about my country? My country is with that government.

00:52:40.600 I hate the government, the common good. I don't know what the common good means. And I'm going to

00:52:43.960 certain, no, I'm not. I'm going to go down to Wall Street and make a lot of money. Greed is good,

00:52:46.860 baby. Let's boost up that GDP. Let's outsource some jobs. Let's open up the borders and let's

00:52:51.220 just lower wages and let's have ruthless competition. Yeah, baby. And so that's what

00:52:56.260 you've gotten. You've gotten two sides of the same coin from both the left and the right,

00:53:01.000 redounding to damage to the country the entire time. And it was a really dumb bet for the right

00:53:08.160 to make because now all that privatization, we gave up all that power from our political order. And now

00:53:12.720 it's being wielded by people who hate our guts. Not a good, it was a Faustian bargain,

00:53:17.760 if you ask me. Now, you know, it's Woke Wednesday. We have a great, great presentation today to educate

00:53:26.120 all of us to open up our minds from love. Don't judge. Okay. I'm going to, I want you to have your

00:53:32.020 consciousness elevated with me. We're going to reserve our judgment. We're going to see how long

00:53:36.400 we can reserve our judgment while watching this. The rest of the show continues. Now, if you're not
