On this episode of The Michael Knowles Show, host Michael Kinsley plays a clip from Robin DiAngelo and Scott Adams, two people who have very different opinions about race and white people. Plus, a new documentary about Dr. Anthony Fauci and his controversial anti-vaccination campaign in Washington, D.C.
00:00:54.580I'm a big believer in affinity space and affinity work.
00:00:59.140And I think people of color need to get away from white people and have some community with each other.
00:01:06.700And I'll let that go and maybe see if anyone else wants to pick it up.
00:01:11.440Quote, people of color need to get away from white people.
00:01:17.100That's Robin DiAngelo's advice, for which she has been applauded as one of the greatest racial justice activists of our generation.
00:01:26.660Now, here's Scott Adams, the Dilbert cartoonist, giving his own advice about three weeks ago.
00:01:33.540So if nearly half of all blacks are not okay with white people, according to this poll, not according to me, according to this poll, that's a hate group.
00:01:47.800And I don't want to have anything to do with them.
00:01:49.500And I would say, you know, based on the current way things are going, the best advice I would give to white people is to get the hell away from black people.
00:02:02.880Wherever you have to go, just get away.
00:02:05.640Quote, white people should get the hell away from black people.
00:02:10.680That's Scott's advice, for which his cartoon was canceled by every newspaper in the country, and he's now completely ostracized from polite society.
00:02:24.220Practically speaking, these two pieces of advice would have the exact same effect.
00:02:31.480But Scott Adams is giving that advice as an evil white man who doesn't hate white people, so he's not allowed to voice his opinion.
00:02:42.180Whereas Robin DiAngelo is speaking as a repentant white woman who does hate white people, so she is allowed to voice the very same opinion.
00:02:52.860And I'm an ethnically ambiguous man named Michael Knowles, and this is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:05:42.000But if a lot of thousands of people like you don't get vaccinated, you're going to let this virus continue to percolate in this country and in this world.
00:05:50.100Something like the common flu then, right?
00:05:52.020And that's like, not like the common flu.
00:07:20.660Because when you start talking about paying people to get vaccinated, when you start talking about incentivizing things to get people vaccinated,
00:07:28.420there's something else going on with that.
00:08:32.980The funniest part of this clip to me is it was filmed and produced to make him seem like the unreasonable one
00:08:39.480and to make Bowser and Fauci seem like the reasonable ones.
00:08:42.200And yet, given the facts that we know now on vaccine efficacy when it comes to preventing infection and transmission of the virus, what did Muriel Bowser say right there?
00:08:53.660She said, I'm standing this close to you because I'm vaccinated, so I'm not at any risk here.
00:09:11.260Eventually, they said, well, okay, it doesn't do any of the things that we initially said it would do, but it'll totally reduce the severity of the illness.
00:09:18.040It'll greatly reduce risk of death and hospitalization.
00:09:21.300I know we've been wrong about all our other predictions, but trust us on that one because it's pretty much unfalsifiable.
00:09:34.220How many localities revised down their death number after COVID because there were errors in the data and these people who died with COVID were tabulated as having died from COVID?
00:09:54.620That tells you so much of what you need to know about this current regime, which has lost pretty much all of its culpability because it lies to us all the time, and about politics generally.
00:10:05.700Regular people have a pretty good gut instinct.
00:10:08.040They might not have the most advanced scientific studies out of Johns Hopkins, but those studies, those scientific studies, are generally speaking a lot less reliable than the gut instincts of normal people who are well-formed and well-adjusted to the world.
00:10:24.180Now, when you want to hire really great people, you got to check out ZipRecruiter.
00:10:27.380Right now, go to ZipRecruiter.com slash Knowles.
00:14:17.960I'm going to position myself as the head of my party and as the person on whom Donald Trump even is dependent and looking to for leadership.
00:18:47.780You can't even know if a man is a man and a woman is a woman.
00:18:49.920It's all just, you just need to have 27 degrees from Harvard.
00:18:52.680And then maybe you can weigh in on basic questions.
00:18:55.260Normal guy on the street knows what a woman is.
00:18:59.220Justice Ketanji Jackson, with multiple degrees from Harvard, can't tell you what a woman is.
00:19:04.360Random Joe on the street knows that something's up with the vaccine and with COVID, and he's not going to rush to take an experimental drug, despite all the promises from the federal government.
00:19:43.080Bukele is popular because he's winning.
00:19:45.100Trump was very, very popular when he was popular because he was winning.
00:19:50.420That's why the libs had to push the whole COVID nonsense and the lockdowns and lying about all of the numbers.
00:19:55.820They had to do that to stop Trump from winning because he was winning on every single front, on foreign policy, on immigration, on the economy, on trade, on everything.
00:20:13.160Before we get into Mr. Mulvaney, I do also want to get, the U.S. Council of Catholic Bishops has just done something great.
00:20:20.000I want to give them proper plaudits for it.
00:20:24.260Sometimes, some of the voices in the church in recent years have been a little bit vague, a little bit ambiguous and difficult to understand.
00:20:33.380But the U.S. Council of Catholic Bishops just released guidance for Catholic health care institutions.
00:20:54.120To the cure of many maladies and promises for more modern technology also produces interventions that are injurious to the true flourishing of the human person.
00:21:03.360As an example of immediate concern, the committee cites the interventions advocated by many in society as treatments for what is termed gender dysphoria or gender incongruence.
00:21:12.380These interventions involve the use of surgical or chemical techniques that aim to exchange the sex characteristics of a patient's body for those of the opposite sex or for simulations thereof.
00:21:23.460As such interventions do not respect the fundamental order of the human person as an intrinsic unity of body and soul with a body that is sexually differentiated,
00:21:32.300The committee states that Catholic health care services must not perform them.
00:22:01.500It is a violation of the Hippocratic Oath.
00:22:04.040It is a cruelty and an abuse of deeply troubled people who ought to be given proper medical care and not hacked up like they're on a butcher's block.
00:22:13.680That's the clarity that we're getting from the USCCB.
00:22:17.940That's the clarity that we're getting from people who have thought for a very long time about human nature, at least 2,000 years now, and drawing on wisdom that is even older.
00:31:35.420But whatever, maybe let's, let's say it's true.
00:31:39.080The, the best part of this teacher's workday should be educating students in the truth and goodness and beauty.
00:31:48.540Teacher's obviously not doing any of that.
00:31:50.340And this teacher is compounding the corruption of his or her profession by saying that the favorite part is talking to kids about weird, creepy sex stuff.
00:32:00.120In a sane society, this teacher would not be in a classroom talking to kids about weird sex stuff.
00:32:08.820In a sane society, this teacher would be in an asylum talking to psychologists and maybe to the padded walls in his or her cell.
00:32:18.040But now, we've gone through the looking glass.
00:39:21.380And if you watch the first two episodes of the new Daily Wire Plus series, which is called What We Saw, Cold War, you will see just how horrific it really was.
00:39:29.260Nobody knows how many people actually died in the gold mines of Colima.
00:39:33.740All agree that in wintertime, the temperature in and around the camp was the only place where, by coincidence, both Fahrenheit and Celsius scales happened to converge.
00:39:43.560And that is at 40 degrees below zero for each of them.
00:39:48.140Initial estimates of three million people killed at Colima alone were no doubt too high.
00:39:53.960The lowest, well-researched figure is about 500,000.
00:39:57.740And the actual total, most likely, was around 800,000 human souls.
00:40:03.820In Cold War, storyteller and writer Bill Whittle will take you back to the beginning, just after World War II, when the struggle between communism and freedom began.
00:40:12.120It's actual history where verifiable facts come to life.
00:40:16.420We're making the first episode available for everyone to see.

00:40:30.280One story, at least, to get to before the member block here.
00:40:36.400Joe Biden has just issued his first veto.
00:40:39.180Biden's been in office for a fair bit of time right now.
00:40:41.880But he's only just now issued his first veto, and it's of an anti-ESG bill.
00:40:49.600ESG are the environmental, social, and governance policies that are a vehicle for the woke agenda, the Great Reset agenda, the World Economic Forum agenda, the liberal agenda, whatever you want to call it.
00:41:07.020They come down from institutional investors, and they come down from big, gigantic asset managers, and they say that the companies that we're investing in have to follow certain leftist guidelines when it comes to social policy.
00:41:25.660They've got to buy into weird trans stuff.
00:41:27.480They've got to push radical social engineering.
00:41:30.440They've got to buy into weird environmental theories that the world's going to end in five minutes if we don't follow whatever AOC and St. Greta of the Blessed Sailboat want us to do.
00:41:41.340So what the ESG policies do is they say, hey, companies, you need to consider things other than the returns that your shareholders are getting.
00:41:51.300You should consider things other than what's best for the business.
00:41:54.640You should consider things even other than what's best for society broadly.
00:41:58.140You need to consider in your investing, in your policies, in your business actions, a leftist agenda.
00:42:05.740And if you deviate from that leftist agenda, we might pull our money out.
00:42:21.800So we're going to oppose the ESG agenda.
00:42:28.060House Republicans just passed a bill to this effect.
00:42:31.300And the Senate just passed a bill to this effect where you got the Senate Republicans along with Democrat Senator Joe Manchin, Democrat Senator John Tester.
00:42:40.480They oppose Biden's Labor Department pushing ESG.
00:43:21.460They want the asset managers to push these policies down to every single company.
00:43:25.940If you get BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street, these big asset managers to push these policies outside of any even semi-official government means,
00:43:35.460it's much more likely that those are going to take hold in the culture.
00:43:38.740And the people are going to have much less recourse.
00:43:42.060So Biden, he exercises his veto for that.
00:43:51.480This is out of UCI, the University of California, Irvine.
00:43:57.380Terminator zones on distant planets could harbor life, UC Irvine astronomers say.
00:44:04.280These in-between regions could be prime sites for liquid water.
00:44:11.020In a new study, University of California, Irvine astronomers describe how extraterrestrial life has the potential to exist on distant exoplanets
00:44:17.920inside a special area called the Terminator zone, which is a ring on planets that always have one side facing its star
00:44:24.340and one side that's always in the dark.
00:45:38.600Really, really big and really, really cold and really, really empty and devoid of life.
00:45:41.800The reason the Libs have to believe that there's extraterrestrial life is because they have to believe that humans are not special.
00:45:49.700They have to believe that man is not made in the image and likeness of God.
00:45:52.760They have to believe that there's no real rhyme or reason to the universe, that there's no intention, that there's no foreordained providence.
00:45:57.540They have to believe that it's all just random chance.
00:46:02.900And if it's all just kind of random and it all just kind of crops up, life is just wherever, it pops up because of certain material conditions, then they can lead themselves to believe that extraterrestrial life exists.
00:46:13.820But they believe in it to justify their own stupid religious views and their own false anthropological views and their own mistakes about everything in the real world.
00:46:27.760I hope UC Irvine, I hope all of these liberal universities, I hope they spend all their time looking for ET and all these other planets so they spend less time focused on social policy here in the United States to screw up our society based on their similarly false premises.
00:46:42.660Good. Keep looking for ET, but we conservatives can know it's not real.
