Transcript

00:00:00.000 Are race relations getting better or worse under Donald Trump?
00:00:04.120 The inimitable Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson will join to discuss race and sex in the Trump era.
00:00:10.120 All 56 genders and every single race from white to black to orange.
00:00:15.180 Then a word on Cambridge Analytica and the media blackout of Trump's possibly denuclearizing North Korea.
00:00:21.820 I'm Michael Knowles and this is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:00:30.000 That's a lot to talk about today.
00:00:32.920 Race, sex, ending the Korean conflict after 70 years, the media blackout, this Cambridge Analytica nonsense.
00:00:39.640 That is a lot to get to.
00:00:41.140 We're going to get to Jesse first.
00:00:42.760 If you don't know Jesse Lee Peterson, who is the author of The Antidote, Healing America from the Poison of Hate, Blame and Victimhood.
00:00:49.980 This man has cojones of steel.
00:00:52.760 This man has cofifones of absolute steel.
00:00:56.720 He is totally courageous.
00:00:58.040 He just speaks the truth as he sees it.
00:01:00.560 Here is just a taste from a recent video that Jesse made walking around bad neighborhoods in L.A.
00:01:06.620 asking black people if they love white people and specifically Donald Trump, who I suppose is an orange person.
00:01:13.000 Here it is.
00:01:13.940 How old are you?
00:01:14.840 I'm 20.
00:01:15.680 How about you?
00:01:16.420 21.
00:01:17.120 How about you?
00:01:17.680 I'm 15.
00:01:18.780 15?
00:01:19.760 Did you vote for President Trump?
00:01:21.520 No, Trump.
00:01:22.420 Trump, man.
00:01:23.900 Donald Trump.
00:01:24.760 He's taking our state into a hellhole.
00:01:27.500 How about doing how?
00:01:28.880 Because how he's taking all the free money and stuff, man.
00:01:31.840 He's taking the free money?
00:01:33.360 He's taking all the dough, man.
00:01:34.580 He's taking all the dough.
00:01:35.400 I need his stuff, too.
00:01:37.020 What free money is he taking?
00:01:39.460 Damn, you asking for all the money.
00:01:42.820 I'm not a Trump, though.
00:01:44.020 You believe that President Trump hate black people?
00:01:46.640 I believe he do.
00:01:47.820 And only because someone said it?
00:01:49.540 Or what did he do to make you think that?
00:01:51.600 Besides not agreeing with Barack Obama?
00:01:54.980 That's it.
00:01:55.560 That's all.
00:01:56.120 That's all?
00:01:56.600 Yeah.
00:01:57.120 And because he didn't agree with Barack Obama, you think that he's a racist?
00:02:01.700 Yeah, off top.
00:02:02.940 But Barack is a Democrat.
00:02:04.440 The president is a Republican.
00:02:06.220 And Republicans and Democrats don't agree.
00:02:08.640 So does that make them racist?
00:02:11.040 Yeah.
00:02:11.400 I like the simplicity of it.
00:02:16.060 So, you know, so just being a Republican, does that make you racist?
00:02:19.860 Yeah.
00:02:20.560 Yeah, that's about it.
00:02:21.440 So I talked to that vicious racist, Jesse Lee Peterson.
00:02:24.800 We sat down to discuss, are race relations getting better or worse under Donald Trump?
00:02:30.180 We talked last week.
00:02:31.340 Here's what we talked about.
00:02:33.180 We're joined now by the Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson.
00:02:36.220 Jesse, thank you for being here.
00:02:38.260 Thanks for having me, Michael.
00:02:39.320 I appreciate it.
00:02:40.040 So you write frequently about race relations in America.
00:02:43.740 From the 30,000-foot view, are race relations today better or worse in the presidency of
00:02:50.640 Donald Trump?
00:02:51.460 In one sense, they're better because a lot of black Americans, they were familiar with
00:02:57.060 President Trump before he became president.
00:02:59.380 And they liked him.
00:03:00.340 They liked the fact that he speaks up.
00:03:02.140 He has courage.
00:03:03.520 You know, he's done very well in life.
00:03:05.060 And then on the other hand, because the children of the lie are pushing this idea that the president
00:03:11.360 is a racist, you have the—and when I say children of the lie, I'm referring to liberals,
00:03:17.820 the liberal media, the Democratic Party, the Neville Troopers, and the right-o-Republicans.
00:03:23.500 And they are pushing this lie because they hate the president.
00:03:26.700 And they know that if they say racism, most blacks, not all, not all, not all, would go
00:03:32.540 into a trance.
00:03:33.800 And whatever they say about racism and this president, they're going to believe it.
00:03:37.960 But I believe that before the president leave the White House, that the race relations in
00:03:44.420 this country would have gotten better.
00:03:45.840 Well, that—you bring up the lie here because there have been—I think you're referring
00:03:52.820 to the father of lies, right?
00:03:54.780 You're talking about this—these people are pushing this lie that Donald Trump is a racist.
00:04:02.040 But we never heard this until he ran for office.
00:04:04.120 He was in the pop culture for 40 years.
00:04:06.600 We never heard accusations that he was a racist.
00:04:09.860 How did this develop?
00:04:10.900 How did he suddenly become a racist 40 years after we first met him in the tabloids of New
00:04:15.100 York?
00:04:15.840 Well, the reason that it came about is that President Trump is a straight, white, male,
00:04:26.020 Christian conservative of power.
00:04:28.800 And he is a Republican.
00:04:31.240 And because of that, the Democrats, the children of the lie are desperate.
00:04:36.060 The president has put the country first.
00:04:38.540 And the last thing that they want is for anyone to put the country first.
00:04:42.840 And they hate this man for that reason.
00:04:45.360 And there was a time when Justin Jackson and Lewis—I mean, Al Shopping and others, they
00:04:50.520 honored the president because he cared about the black community.
00:04:54.260 He helped them in several ways.
00:04:56.060 But because he's in control now, he is a white, straight, male conservative of power, they don't like that.
00:05:03.400 And so they're using that word in order to try and destroy him and to turn black folks away from him.
00:05:09.640 So you think the word has basically been robbed of meeting because it's been bandied about so much?
00:05:15.460 Well, it's a made-up word anyway.
00:05:18.380 There is no such thing as racism.
00:05:20.380 And I've proven in my book, The Antidote, Healing America from the Poison of Hate, Blame, and Victimhood.
00:05:27.460 That word came about in the 40s, I believe.
00:05:30.640 And it came about because the race hustlers, the so-called civil rights leaders, and the liberal whites, they needed to control black people.
00:05:39.680 And so they made up this word that whites are against you because of your color.
00:05:45.360 There's racism out there.
00:05:47.060 And because most blacks are angry, they believed into that lie, and they went into a trance.
00:05:52.500 And so whenever these hustlers want to get power and wealth, they bring up that word because they need blacks to support them.
00:06:00.780 I grew up in Alabama.
00:06:03.060 I grew up under the Jim Crow laws.
00:06:05.080 I grew up on a plantation, and not one time did I hear the word racism.
00:06:10.820 In those days, they knew that there was good and evil, right versus wrong.
00:06:17.220 And there are good folks in all cultures, and there are bad folks in all cultures.
00:06:21.460 And it has nothing to do with being a male or a female.
00:06:24.760 You're either right or you're wrong.
00:06:26.940 And that's how we grew up.
00:06:28.180 But that word came about once the civil rights movement started because they needed to control black people.
00:06:33.180 Do you find, because I always find it so funny, you grow up fatherless on a plantation in Jim Crow, Alabama,
00:06:40.620 and then white liberals scold you for your views on politics and race.
00:06:45.020 And they say, oh, no, Jesse, that's how racist of you or something.
00:06:48.740 Or I don't even know the terms they use.
00:06:51.500 Do you see, though, we were told throughout all of 2016 that there is a major movement called the alternative right,
00:06:58.880 and half of the country is deplorable.
00:07:00.820 Do you see an upsurge in anti-black sentiment in the U.S. around this time?
00:07:07.380 Is there anything to those claims, or is there something to them, but they've been totally abused?
00:07:13.200 What is it?
00:07:14.960 You know, for the last 50 to 60 years, most white people have been afraid to speak up.
00:07:20.820 They are afraid of the word racism.
00:07:23.020 They are afraid of losing their livelihood, their jobs and businesses.
00:07:28.320 And so they have not spoken up.
00:07:30.480 And they have seen examples of other white men and women who have spoken up, and they end up losing their careers.
00:07:37.200 And so white people have fear.
00:07:39.280 And then the white man, he's been blamed for everything.
00:07:44.200 They accuse him for everything that is happening with black folks.
00:07:47.520 And most white men have not spoken up.
00:07:50.280 Now we finally have a man in the White House who is not afraid to speak up.
00:07:55.460 If you attack him, he will attack back.
00:07:58.520 He will expose you.
00:07:59.760 He will deal with you.
00:08:01.180 And I believe that he's given or encouraged in other white men and women who are on the side of good to speak up and not tolerate the lie.
00:08:10.140 Don't be afraid.
00:08:11.300 Don't be intimidated.
00:08:12.180 And that's what you see happening.
00:08:14.760 And the children of the lie don't like that because if white Americans wake up and take back control of their lives and their country, it will be over for the liberals.
00:08:26.340 And that's why they're accusing white people of being racist and all the white supremacists.
00:08:34.360 Once again, they're using these words to try to intimidate.
00:08:38.020 I'm very happy to see white Americans speaking up because if we lose white Americans, it's over for this country.
00:08:46.100 We can say goodbye to America.
00:08:48.240 Do you think, because I do think that it's been used as a cudgel, words like racist or white supremacist.
00:08:55.680 I do think they're used as a cudgel to intimidate regular old people, run of the mill, Republicans that want lower taxes or something.
00:09:03.180 It's clearly a bullying tactic.
00:09:05.000 It's interesting to compare, especially to like the 1970s, 1960s and 70s.
00:09:12.240 Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam, he gets a total pass from the mainstream media.
00:09:17.900 A racist, if ever there was one.
00:09:19.980 If the word does have meaning, it certainly refers to him.
00:09:22.900 He talks about the satanic Jews.
00:09:25.180 He blamed the Jews for 9-11.
00:09:26.940 He called Hitler a very great man and he calls white people devils.
00:09:30.520 Yet, the Congressional Black Caucus plays nice with him.
00:09:33.700 There's even a photo of Barack Obama meeting with him, all smiles, in 2005.
00:09:39.040 And yet, the mainstream media totally covered that up.
00:09:41.720 If racism is the issue, if we want to reduce racial bigotry, which all people do, all people of good will do, I suppose, why does Louis Farrakhan get a pass?
00:09:51.860 When I first moved to L.A. back in 1968, I started to listen to Louis Farrakhan because I had this anger.
00:10:00.220 And at the time, I had not overcome.
00:10:01.960 I had not forgiven my parents, so I had not overcome the anger.
00:10:06.240 And so I listened to Jesse Jackson and Louis Farrakhan and others.
00:10:09.880 And in that state of anger, I thought that he was telling the truth.
00:10:12.860 And I thought that the battle was between blacks and whites because I believed it to that lie.
00:10:17.900 And at the time, Louis Farrakhan would come to L.A. and he would speak at the Forum in Inglewood, California.
00:10:24.000 And he would say that black people were the first people on earth.
00:10:29.460 They were very smart.
00:10:30.860 And then there were some black people who turned evil and went into a laboratory and created a white man.
00:10:36.700 And as a result, we have the blue-eyed devil.
00:10:40.660 And that's how white people came about.
00:10:42.740 And he blamed the Jews for all the problems of black America, calling them blood-sucking Jews and how they controlled everything and all that.
00:10:52.260 And we believed into that lie at the time because there was no one saying that it wasn't true.
00:10:58.340 The black caucus, the black representatives were going along with that.
00:11:02.860 And what they were teaching black people is that we all have to stick together because we are black and fight against the racist white people and the blood-sucking Jews.
00:11:13.780 And that's what you see happening now.
00:11:15.720 In all honesty, the members of the black caucus who are supporting Louis Farrakhan, they believe in what he says.
00:11:24.760 They teach that themselves.
00:11:26.960 And so that's why you still see them supporting him because they agree with it.
00:11:31.960 And because of the double standard in America today, these blacks can get away with doing and saying whatever they want because they know white people are not going to stand against them.
00:11:45.140 It has just gone out of control.
00:11:47.500 And it's not going to change until black people who are undecided of good and whites and Jews alike stand together and fight against these people.
00:11:56.700 Otherwise, it's only going to get worse because they are encouraging other young black people to do the same thing and believe into the same thing.
00:12:05.100 The only thing I'll say in defense of Louis Farrakhan is we did create Ben Shapiro in a laboratory.
00:12:10.800 That is true.
00:12:11.460 We did.
00:12:12.000 We did.
00:12:12.580 We turned up the facts and the feelings a little down.
00:12:15.020 Yeah, that's on Farrakhan.
00:12:18.980 Louis Farrakhan is an evil, evil man.
00:12:22.120 He's evil to the core.
00:12:23.480 There was one time where he was calling for an all-black state within the United States.
00:12:28.940 He is so evil, but because he's black, he's able to get away with it.
00:12:34.180 It seems as though it's changing a little bit now.
00:12:36.620 I hope so.
00:12:37.600 But unless people speak up, it's not going to get better.
00:12:41.000 Why is it, do you think, that Louis Farrakhan's group, the Nation of Islam, was able to take hold so significantly during movements like the Black Power Movement in the 60s and 70s?
00:12:52.240 Why was it the nation of Islam instead of the nation of Unitarianism or something or the nation of Christianity?
00:13:00.240 Why was that ideology able to take hold?
00:13:02.540 Because in the public school system, in the prisons and jails, in the juvenile detention centers, and some of the so-called Christian black churches, they were teaching that Christianity is a white man's religion.
00:13:18.100 And that in Africa, blacks were Muslims and not Christians, and that blacks have been brainwashed with Christianity, that white people went around the world and brainwashing blacks and others with Christianity, and that it's not the black man's religion.
00:13:34.460 And that's why Farrakhan was able to seduce them.
00:13:39.860 And in the prisons and jails, you have a lot of men, black men and women, who are angry.
00:13:45.000 They are angry.
00:13:46.180 But the anger starts in their homes because most black men and women, they hate their mothers, and they yearn for their fathers.
00:13:54.520 Their mothers have turned them away from their fathers.
00:13:56.720 And the worst thing that can happen to children is to turn them away from their earthly fathers because when you turn them away from their fathers, you turn them away from God, and it leaves an emptiness, a void in your life, and you find yourself looking for love in all the wrong places.
00:14:13.620 And so instead of telling black people to forgive their mothers for what they've done, they tell them that it's white man, that Christianity is a white man's religion.
00:14:26.120 And in these prisons, these guys are desperate for a father, and Louis Farrakhan represent that in a bad way, but they still represent it, and that's why they believe him.
00:14:34.840 And that's why his religion, it's not a religion, but his so-called religion has grown in numbers because he has seduced blacks in their fallen state of anger.
00:14:46.100 Well, I'll take this as an opportunity to turn from race to sex for a second to talk about this crisis of masculinity, which you write about and speak about eloquently.
00:14:57.360 You have an organization called Bond.
00:14:59.180 You say that our culture has a shortage of good men, and you want to rebuild the family by rebuilding the man.
00:15:07.320 What is wrong with men in our culture?
00:15:09.500 How did that crisis of good men start?
00:15:13.040 Well, today, men are the most hated species on this side of heaven, and the reason that they are hated is because they represent strength, they represent love, they represent authority, they represent good.
00:15:27.620 And the children who, the folks who hate God, they hate men for that reason, because in the Christian world, there's an order of life, and that order is God and Christ, Christ and man, man over woman, and woman over children.
00:15:44.080 And when you have that order, life works better for you, but when you remove that man from his family by degrading him or attacking him or falsely accusing him of being a child molester or abuser, then you turn the wife and children away, and then evil can take over the minds of the women, the wife and the children, and destroy it.
00:16:08.360 But as long as you have that man over the woman, you know, with God's love operating through him, that cannot happen.
00:16:16.560 And I saw that happen with black men first, where under Lyndon B. Johnson, he came in with the Democrats' approval, and they said to black people, we are going to help you.
00:16:28.620 You can't make it in life because of racism, but you can't have a father in the home.
00:16:37.580 We are going to give you government programs and all this stuff, but you can't have a man.
00:16:41.900 And the man left his home.
00:16:43.720 The government took over, along with the race hustling and so-called civil rights leaders, and it's just been downhill.
00:16:49.920 You know, today, most black women hate black men, and most black men hate black women, because it's not in the nature of a woman to raise children.
00:17:01.340 It's in the nature of the father.
00:17:03.220 That's why God married men and women, so that they can be there to help each other raise children.
00:17:08.400 And when the father leaves the home, the mother has to impose her will on them.
00:17:13.100 She has to operate with anger and the lack of patience, and that ends up destroying the innocence of the children, because they become angry at the mother.
00:17:23.880 And as you know, whomever you become angry at, you become like them.
00:17:29.040 You take on their identity.
00:17:31.160 And if you notice, most black men, even the so-called straight ones, they act like women.
00:17:36.900 They're easy to anger.
00:17:38.700 They're impatient.
00:17:40.120 They don't want to work anymore.
00:17:41.300 They are blaming the white man for their problems, because they have the nature of their mothers instead of the nature of the father.
00:17:48.360 And that can only change when they forgive their mothers for what they have done, and then return to the father.
00:17:54.000 It is one of the central predictors of future success, whether you were raised in a two-parent home or if the father ran out.
00:18:02.920 That is a predictor that you're going to have a harder time in life.
00:18:05.580 You have made it very far in life, and you grew up without a father in Alabama.
00:18:13.380 You got over your anger.
00:18:15.900 You talk about this, and you write about this.
00:18:17.680 How did you do it?
00:18:19.140 You know, when I moved to L.A. at 18, I was on my own, and I had a lot of fear and doubt and insecurity.
00:18:27.840 I didn't really know what I wanted to do in life.
00:18:31.080 I had this emptiness inside of me, deep down in my soul, and it didn't matter how much money I had or where I lived or anything.
00:18:37.960 I still had the void.
00:18:39.520 And so I went to some of the black churches, and I would tell the preachers that I felt this way, and they would say, well, it's not you.
00:18:46.280 It's racism.
00:18:47.580 It's the white man keeping you down.
00:18:49.640 And for the first time in my life, I started to resent white people.
00:18:53.120 And as you know, when you hate, what you put out comes back on you.
00:18:56.280 My life went to hell in a handbasket.
00:18:58.600 And so long story short, I started to think about this, and I'm thinking, if the white man is holding me back because of my color,
00:19:06.860 why is it that he's not holding Jesse Jackson back and Al Sharpton and all those people there doing very well?
00:19:12.120 Yeah, they were in pretty nice suits and doing just well.
00:19:15.380 And then, so I asked God to let me see what was wrong, right?
00:19:19.200 And he allowed me to see that I resented my parents, my father for not being there,
00:19:24.360 and my mother who tried to turn me away from him, and I had become like my mother.
00:19:28.780 And so as a result, I understood that I needed to forgive them.
00:19:34.320 And when I forgave them, God forgave me, and he gave me perfect peace.
00:19:38.800 He took the anger away.
00:19:39.900 I have no anger.
00:19:40.940 And this has been 29 years ago.
00:19:42.800 I have no anger, and I only have love, but not emotional love,
00:19:47.680 a love that allows me to speak up and deal with evil but don't resent.
00:19:52.120 And then when I was growing up, we were always taught to work and be independent.
00:19:57.320 So I already had that going on for me, but I didn't have the inner self-control and security that a man should have.
00:20:05.340 I now have that, and I have the best life on this side of heaven because I hate no one.
00:20:10.480 And I disagree with what some people are about, but I don't have anger toward them about it.
00:20:16.340 Is that the essence?
00:20:17.700 If we're talking about forgiveness, that's an important lesson for all cultures at all times to keep in mind
00:20:25.480 because if you carry things around with you, it is really going to deform you.
00:20:28.860 It's really going to wreck your life.
00:20:30.440 Is the message here basically just Christianity, just repent and believe in the Bible?
00:20:36.380 Is that the message for the culture?
00:20:38.780 Michael, I can promise you it is the message.
00:20:42.080 Once you forgive, but forgive your parents first because a lot of people, especially with the mothers,
00:20:49.260 they always blame the fathers, so they deal with the fathers, right?
00:20:52.020 But a lot of adults, young and old, are afraid to deal with their mothers because they feel guilty.
00:20:57.960 The mothers make them feel guilty.
00:20:59.240 The mother make them feel that it's the father.
00:21:02.120 But once you forgive your parents, then God will forgive you, and he will take that identity away from you
00:21:08.760 and give you back your identity so that you could be you, and there's nothing on earth like being you.
00:21:17.520 We're supposed to have the good values of our parents, but we are not supposed to lose our identity
00:21:23.000 and become like our parents.
00:21:25.040 And so once you forgive, you will be forgiven.
00:21:28.100 You will have perfect peace.
00:21:30.220 You will wake up, and then you can live your life.
00:21:32.580 And until that happens, you're never going to find peace within.
00:21:36.360 I noticed the Democrat Party seems to have doubled down on their strategy of the past several decades.
00:21:42.880 They've elevated Keith Ellison, a former member of the Nation of Islam, to become vice chairman of the party.
00:21:48.380 Is there any hope that Democrats will listen to one of your programs at some point and get the message and moderate a little bit?
00:21:56.400 I doubt that the politician aspect, the political aspect of the Democratic Party will.
00:22:04.260 But I have to honestly tell you, there are Democrats who have, there are blacks and others who have been voting for the Democrats for however long.
00:22:11.800 They are hearing this message, and they are forgiving.
00:22:15.020 They're starting to deal with their own lives, and they are waking up.
00:22:18.540 They're overcoming the anger, and they are turning away from the Democratic Party.
00:22:21.900 I think that the Democratic Party is so far left now, it's going to take another hundred years before they turn around.
00:22:29.420 These people love power, they love wealth, and they love to control the people.
00:22:34.160 And I don't see them giving that up anytime soon.
00:22:37.700 But I'm happy about that because now that we have the great white hope in the White House, he's putting the country first.
00:22:44.760 People going back to work, you know, they're seeing more money on their paychecks.
00:22:50.780 I know people personally who are starting businesses as a result of the president, and I think that that's going to impact him more.
00:22:58.240 So let the Democrats go for a left.
00:23:00.480 Let them serve their father the devil.
00:23:02.600 I'm quite happy with that because America is waking up.
00:23:05.820 On the topic of the great white hope, and specifically on Donald Trump and race relations, there is this incredible video you put up in February where you went into these terrible neighborhoods, and you asked people two questions.
00:23:21.940 Do you love Donald Trump, and do you love white people?
00:23:25.060 And the answers you got were incredible.
00:23:28.000 What did you find?
00:23:29.960 I found that most of them hate white people.
00:23:33.200 They're angry at white people, and then some of them, a lot of them were angry at President Trump, too, simply because he's white.
00:23:40.260 And I've been saying for years.
00:23:42.400 That he's orange.
00:23:43.140 No, I'm kidding.
00:23:43.740 I'm sorry.
00:23:44.100 Go on.
00:23:44.500 I know.
00:23:45.820 I've been saying for years that most black people hate white people, and it's not whites hating blacks.
00:23:53.320 It's blacks hating whites, and it's because they're coming from destructive homes.
00:23:58.320 They've been born out of wedlock.
00:23:59.740 They've been told that it's a white man.
00:24:01.320 And so I did the man on the street to prove that point even more so that it's the lack of moral character and the destruction of the family.
00:24:10.420 It's this anger that black people have that's holding them back instead of the white man.
00:24:15.780 It's they're holding themselves back by not dropping that anger.
00:24:18.860 It was an amazing video.
00:24:20.380 It was amazing to get that on camera so the world can see that black people hate white folks, and just not.
00:24:28.440 You know, until they drop that anger, you can give them affirmative action.
00:24:33.740 You can allow them to move into your neighborhoods.
00:24:36.640 You can allow them to go to whatever school they want to.
00:24:39.740 Until they drop that anger, they will always be complaining and blaming white folks for their lack of.
00:24:47.820 And so I proved that on the video.
00:24:49.600 I hope everybody check it out.
00:24:51.180 Everybody has to go see it because, Jesse, one thing about you that I've always loved is that you exist on like another plane of existence.
00:24:58.840 So you have no fear.
00:25:02.200 You have no fear whatsoever.
00:25:03.900 You will go into any neighborhood and with a microphone and say, so do you love Donald Trump?
00:25:09.120 Do you love him?
00:25:10.520 There is no guile.
00:25:12.220 There's nothing being held back.
00:25:13.580 What you see is really what you get.
00:25:15.500 You're having these very honest conversations.
00:25:18.120 I wonder, because obviously the left and the media want to use terms like racist or bigot or this or that and wring it around our necks.
00:25:26.280 But I wonder about the difference between culture and race.
00:25:31.820 It seems to me that race doesn't really matter much at all.
00:25:36.320 It doesn't.
00:25:36.980 And it doesn't really affect anything from what I can tell.
00:25:40.680 But culture matters tremendously.
00:25:42.660 Culture matters a lot.
00:25:44.340 The word culture derives from the same word as the word cult.
00:25:47.840 It comes from what you worship.
00:25:49.540 If you worship money, you're going to have a more materialistic culture.
00:25:54.260 Culture, how do we turn the culture around in America?
00:25:58.820 You've written about the antidote.
00:26:01.180 What is the hope?
00:26:02.620 How does the culture have to change so that the country can become more unified, more productive together?
00:26:09.520 That's a really good question.
00:26:11.360 First of all, we got to tell the truth.
00:26:13.940 And the reason I don't have fear, Michael, is because when God took my anger away, he took away fear.
00:26:19.580 Anyone who has anger has fear.
00:26:21.640 Anyone who doesn't have anger will not have fear.
00:26:25.240 I had fear before.
00:26:26.980 But what we got to do is we got to start telling the truth.
00:26:30.300 For too long, we have allowed the lie to persist, to go on and on, generation after generation.
00:26:36.380 And we have not told the truth.
00:26:38.680 And so all people who love what's right must tell the truth.
00:26:42.340 And once you start telling the truth, there are people who are going to wake up to that truth and overcome.
00:26:47.900 We have to overcome culture.
00:26:49.600 We should only love God with all our heart, soul, and might, and then love our neighbors as ourself.
00:26:57.020 And if you love anything else along with that, then you're not going to love your fellow man.
00:27:02.340 I can enjoy culture.
00:27:03.840 You know, I can take it.
00:27:04.680 I can go to the hood and eat some collard greens and fried chicken or whatever they eat.
00:27:09.960 But I'm not into the culture thing.
00:27:12.300 I'm into loving all people.
00:27:15.600 And again, I want to make sure I'm not talking about that emotional love.
00:27:18.920 I'm not talking about that love that, you know, only love you when someone loves you.
00:27:22.880 I just, love is simply not hating.
00:27:25.640 If you don't have any anger, then you have love.
00:27:27.660 And so until we start telling the truth, it's just going to, the cultural thing would get worse.
00:27:34.680 The people would be more divided.
00:27:36.480 We can no longer be afraid to stand up and tell the truth.
00:27:40.140 That's the only thing that's going to defeat the lie.
00:27:42.660 The truth.
00:27:43.620 That is absolutely true.
00:27:45.340 The, uh, it's, it's very easy to say, you know, there, there are troubles in this world.
00:27:50.260 Another great Peterson that I talked to Jordan Peterson, uh, whom I spoke to a little while ago.
00:27:55.760 So, uh, he, he pointed out that people now want to pretend that there isn't suffering in this world,
00:28:00.340 that we aren't naturally going to suffer.
00:28:02.420 But, uh, there, there is an important verse, which says, uh, you'll suffer in this world,
00:28:07.740 but take heart for I have overcome the world.
00:28:11.740 What's on the horizon for you?
00:28:13.080 What projects are you working on?
00:28:15.000 Uh, and how can we get you to run for office or something?
00:28:19.980 Well, hey, Irma, bring me the t-shirt.
00:28:22.100 I have a great t-shirt I'm going to show you here in a minute.
00:28:24.560 But, um, um, we're having a, uh, town hall meeting at Bond, my headquarters in Los Angeles
00:28:30.620 on April, I believe it's 21st.
00:28:33.460 I get the date for you.
00:28:34.540 And we're going to be talking about this illegal alien situation in our country.
00:28:39.320 I am 100% for the war and I want to deport all illegals.
00:28:45.600 I want them gone.
00:28:46.860 I want my country back.
00:28:48.360 And so when is the town hall?
00:28:50.280 April 12th.
00:28:51.020 Oh, we have a town hall on April 12th at the headquarters of Bond.
00:28:54.400 And we're going to be dealing with the, uh, illegal alien situation in the country.
00:28:58.840 We're also, uh, you know, I have a radio show.
00:29:02.160 I'm on Newsmax TV now in over 50 million homes around the country and just telling the truth
00:29:09.000 and waking people up.
00:29:10.440 We're doing speaking tools, dealing with this, trying to unite the races with the truth
00:29:15.380 rather than dividing them with lies.
00:29:17.920 And this is a perfect time to do it.
00:29:20.200 I want to show you a great t-shirt that we made.
00:29:24.100 Are you able to see that?
00:29:26.860 For people who are only listening, it's the mug of Donald Trump and it just says the great
00:29:32.960 white hope.
00:29:34.240 That's right.
00:29:36.360 That is incredible.
00:29:39.000 So we, we, we have that going.
00:29:41.420 I'm taking the opportunity.
00:29:42.600 This is the best time of our life, Michael.
00:29:47.140 We finally have a chance to take back America.
00:29:51.560 And I'm now seeing all races of people who are on the side of good and love the country
00:29:56.740 unite together and fight against those who hate the country and trying to destroy it.
00:30:02.320 And so we need to take advantage of this opportunity for the first time in my lifetime.
00:30:07.760 We have a president who was put in this country first.
00:30:11.300 He's driving the children of the lie insane.
00:30:14.980 And it's a joy to see that.
00:30:16.860 But I want to unite the country while we have him in the White House.
00:30:21.040 And once we're united, it will be harder to tear us apart again.
00:30:24.820 Love is the key.
00:30:25.700 If you walk around with a chip on your shoulder, if you walk around hating everybody, you're not
00:30:30.220 going to have a good life.
00:30:31.220 If you're doing it wrong, there are even schools of this in the academy.
00:30:35.780 Harold Bloom calls it the school of resentment when you approach literature or history or
00:30:40.460 whatever, and you just hate the guys and you say, oh, he was, I bet he was a racist.
00:30:43.980 I bet he was a sexist.
00:30:44.980 I bet I don't really like him.
00:30:46.200 If you, if you go around life like that, you're not going to have a good time.
00:30:49.220 If you, you'll walk lighter.
00:30:51.380 If you, if you get rid of hate and start loving people.
00:30:53.880 And that is the antidote.
00:30:55.720 I'm sorry.
00:30:56.200 I want, I want, sorry for interrupting, Mike.
00:30:59.040 I want to encourage people to go and forgive.
00:31:01.800 Start with their parents first.
00:31:03.220 And don't ask them to forgive you.
00:31:05.280 You forgive them.
00:31:06.640 You know, in the Lord's prayer, it says, forgive me.
00:31:10.440 Forgive me as I forgive.
00:31:12.160 Right.
00:31:12.400 So you go and forgive them because the problem is your hatred or your anger toward them.
00:31:17.560 But once you go and apologize for what they've done to you, it doesn't make it right.
00:31:22.320 But apology is for hating them is forgiveness.
00:31:25.640 God will forgive you and he will give you perfect peace.
00:31:29.320 Then you can finally have the life that we are all meant to have.
00:31:33.440 We were meant to have a good life.
00:31:35.300 We can have challenges, but when you don't have anger, you can overcome those challenges.
00:31:40.360 That's it.
00:31:42.040 The Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson, the antidote healing America from the poison of hate,
00:31:46.820 blame and victimhood.
00:31:48.140 Also check him out on Newsmax.
00:31:49.880 Check out his, check him out all over the internet and these town halls.
00:31:52.720 Jesse, it is always so good to see you and I look forward to seeing you again.
00:31:56.660 Thank you, Mike.
00:31:57.260 I enjoy talking to you.
00:31:58.400 I really appreciate you having me on.
00:32:00.920 Do you love Jesse Lee Peterson?
00:32:03.100 Do you love, I love Jesse Lee Peterson.
00:32:05.140 What a guy.
00:32:05.680 He is great.
00:32:06.500 We have to talk about the news.
00:32:07.580 We have to talk about how Donald Trump may be denuclearizing North Korea.
00:32:12.860 Let me tell you, if someone were taking bets on that, I probably wouldn't have won money.
00:32:17.700 But hey, in the age of Trump, you can't predict anything.
00:32:20.740 Never say never when it comes to Donald Trump.
00:32:22.620 We'll also talk about this Cambridge Analytica non-traversy, the most absurd non-traversy
00:32:28.500 that the Democrats have come up with in decades.
00:32:30.720 And really what it's all about, how everything in the news is designed to attack Donald Trump.
00:32:34.780 But I can't do that yet because I have to say goodbye to Facebook and YouTube.
00:32:39.720 I said goodbye to YouTube a long time ago, but I've got to say goodbye to Facebook.
00:32:43.340 If you are on TheDailyWire.com, thank you very much because you help keep the lights on.
00:32:47.960 Even the lights here at National Review, we're not paying them anything for this.
00:32:52.120 So thank you to our friends at National Review for having me.
00:32:55.040 If you're not a subscriber, go there.
00:32:56.720 You get me, you get The Andrew Klavan Show, you get The Ben Shapiro Show.
00:32:59.720 It's $10 a month or $100 for an annual membership.
00:33:02.460 What you really get, what is so important, is the Leftist Tears Tumblr.
00:33:07.380 I feel incomplete this week.
00:33:09.080 You know, I'm in New York.
00:33:10.360 Right after this show today, I'm going to go right up to Ithaca.
00:33:13.200 I've got a speech at Ithaca College tomorrow.
00:33:15.420 We're going to be talking about that old-time religion.
00:33:17.640 I'm going to be talking about the crisis, the search for meaning among millennials,
00:33:22.600 how there is objective truth.
00:33:24.200 I'm going to be talking about the Battle of Lepanto,
00:33:26.500 the difference between different religions and various Christian heresies,
00:33:30.600 maybe a little Islam sprinkled in there.
00:33:33.100 I'm just telling you the tears are going to flow.
00:33:35.240 The Leftist Tears are going to flow.
00:33:36.800 I've already heard they're tearing down posters at Ithaca College.
00:33:40.960 One student apparently said that my face is like a middle finger to the campus.
00:33:47.460 And that is Sweet Little Elise's pet name for me.
00:33:50.380 But she did point out my face looks more like a thumb.
00:33:53.160 It's not like that totally narrow.
00:33:55.380 It's a little more like a thumb.
00:33:56.700 It's opposable.
00:33:57.440 Well, it's easily opposed on that campus.
00:33:59.900 So make sure you need that Leftist Tears tumbler.
00:34:01.840 Go to dailywire.com.
00:34:02.820 We'll be right back.
00:34:16.020 My very opposable head.
00:34:18.080 I wonder if Antifa is going to throw any tomatoes or Molotov cocktails at it tomorrow.
00:34:22.440 We shall see, shouldn't we?
00:34:23.620 Okay, let's very quickly before we have to go here and I need to go sit in five hours of traffic.
00:34:29.100 We have to talk about what's in the news because it is clearer now than ever that everything that is in the news is designed to attack Donald Trump.
00:34:37.660 That's it.
00:34:38.460 That's the only common thread between all of it.
00:34:40.780 There are women's marches that don't invite women.
00:34:43.300 There are the March for Our Lives that have Planned Parenthood supporting them.
00:34:47.400 It seems like they want certain gun control, but they don't want any effective gun control, and really they just want to take away all of your guns.
00:34:56.300 All of this weird moment.
00:34:59.620 They're attacking John Bolton.
00:35:00.940 They're attacking Facebook.
00:35:02.400 They're attacking Russia.
00:35:03.500 They want spaghetti at the wall.
00:35:04.900 They want anything to hit.
00:35:06.140 It's so pathetic.
00:35:07.000 Because I'm in New York, I've been going into different places, restaurants, offices, and they have CNN and MSNBC on, which I rarely am subjected to.
00:35:17.060 But it just drives this point home, especially CNN.
00:35:20.080 It just exists to attack Donald Trump.
00:35:23.020 Let's look at just Cambridge Analytica for a second.
00:35:25.400 This is the most absurd, innocuous, non-traversy that Democrats have come up with in a very long time.
00:35:31.260 It's a nothing story.
00:35:32.460 Here's what happened.
00:35:33.240 But users gave their data to Facebook, and then certain companies through Cambridge Analytica created certain apps and tools to have users give them their data, and they did.
00:35:46.160 That's what happened.
00:35:47.220 You know, there's like a little quiz, and it says, are you really smart, and do you want to give us all your data?
00:35:51.400 And you say, yeah, I really want to give you all of my data, and then they have it.
00:35:55.460 A marketing company used Facebook effectively.
00:35:58.200 That's basically, that's, ooh, oh my gosh.
00:36:00.340 By the way, if it were a Democrat who did this, you wouldn't hear about it.
00:36:02.920 All you heard in 2008 was, Obama's the digital candidate.
00:36:06.360 He's using digital.
00:36:07.540 He's so great.
00:36:08.220 You even heard this about Hillary until we found out it wasn't true.
00:36:10.660 Then, when Republicans use digital really well, it's a national scandal.
00:36:15.760 Another way that you know this is nothing.
00:36:17.500 So, on Twitter today, one of the top trends was Robert Mercer.
00:36:21.040 And Robert Mercer is a big GOP donor.
00:36:23.300 And the big scare headline was that Robert Mercer, who had invested in this thing and that thing and his third cousin twice removed, worked at Cambridge Analytica, whatever, that he had donated to John Bolton's political action committee.
00:36:36.960 John Bolton, the new national security advisor to President Trump.
00:36:39.720 And this was groundbreaking.
00:36:41.860 This was really earth-shattering news.
00:36:43.520 A GOP donor donated to a Republican's political action committee.
00:36:47.900 Breaking.
00:36:48.500 And also, the sky remains blue and fish continue to swim and the sun continues to shine.
00:36:54.160 This is also breaking news.
00:36:56.020 He's a GOP donor.
00:36:57.160 He gives to a lot of Republicans, of course.
00:36:59.000 But this is how you know they don't care about this Cambridge Analytica thing.
00:37:02.600 Republicans used technology well, and they're very angry about that because only Democrats are supposed to use technology well.
00:37:08.080 They're very upset, so they attack anything they can.
00:37:12.600 Why are they bringing up John Bolton?
00:37:14.500 Oh, because John Bolton is Donald Trump's latest move.
00:37:18.360 He just appointed John Bolton NSA, so now it's got to be about John Bolton.
00:37:21.680 They will grasp at anything.
00:37:23.600 By the way, even the Washington Post admits this.
00:37:25.820 In the WAPO today, Ed Rogers explains, quote,
00:37:28.140 Because Democrats have no affirmative agenda to run on in November,
00:37:32.860 they are left clinging on to the Russian collusion story for dear life.
00:37:36.960 Even when it comes to Bolton, Democrats such as Tim Kaine,
00:37:40.400 who would have been the second woman president,
00:37:42.260 have gone so far as to suggest that perhaps Bolton shouldn't receive a security clearance
00:37:47.220 because he's interacted with the Russians over the years.
00:37:50.000 Well, most foreign policy professionals in the United States
00:37:52.900 make it their business to interact with Russians on a regular basis.
00:37:56.160 Oh, and by the way, it was the candidate who picked Kaine as her running mate, Clinton Kaine,
00:38:00.800 whose allies actually used Russian-supplied information.
00:38:04.420 It's just spaghetti at the wall.
00:38:06.740 Now, you're probably reading all about Stormy Daniels, for whatever reason,
00:38:11.020 or you're reading about Cambridge Analytica.
00:38:13.840 You're reading about a big technology company that you give all of your data to using your data.
00:38:18.020 That's what you're using.
00:38:18.740 What you're not reading about is how Donald Trump may have denuclearized North Korea
00:38:23.480 after 70 years of aggression with this country.
00:38:26.920 We met 20 years of a nuclear program.
00:38:28.840 More than that, we may have denuclearized them.
00:38:31.640 The main stories on CNN and the New York Times today, though, if you search,
00:38:34.620 you'd assume that's probably a big headline.
00:38:36.560 No, that would be Stormy Daniels.
00:38:37.940 We might denuclearize North Korea, a major geopolitical threat,
00:38:45.500 or Donald Trump had sex with a porn star once 10 years ago, allegedly.
00:38:52.040 We might not all burn up in nuclear holocaust because of a rogue state that we've been fighting
00:38:57.500 for 70 years.
00:38:59.680 Donald Trump, a guy who bragged about having sex with porn stars,
00:39:03.260 may have had sex with a porn star one time 10 years ago.
00:39:07.200 That's the headline.
00:39:08.160 That's the headline on the New York Times and CNN.
00:39:10.280 The lead story in the Washington Post was about how awful Trump's policies will be toward immigrants.
00:39:15.720 That was the big headline.
00:39:17.340 North Korea might denuclearize, but the immigrants.
00:39:21.340 And here's the headline from the Washington Post.
00:39:23.980 National security Trump proposal would penalize immigrants who use tax credits and other benefits.
00:39:29.880 Listen to the language.
00:39:31.340 Immigrants, why would it, how would it, so someone's here, they're an immigrant.
00:39:34.860 Why would they be penalized if they use welfare?
00:39:37.200 The Washington Post writes,
00:39:38.520 Immigrants who accept almost any form of welfare or public benefit, even popular tax deductions,
00:39:43.540 could be denied legal U.S. residency under a proposal in waiting the administration,
00:39:48.120 which is seeking to reduce the number of foreigners living in the U.S.
00:39:51.560 Hold on a second.
00:39:52.040 I thought we were talking about the immigrants.
00:39:53.960 An immigrant is someone who comes to the United States legally.
00:39:57.160 An immigrant leaves his country.
00:39:59.320 An immigrant is accepted into a new country.
00:40:01.780 So it's saying immigrants who accept almost any form of welfare could be denied legal U.S. residency.
00:40:07.320 If they don't have legal U.S. residency, then they're not immigrants.
00:40:11.060 Oh, oh, the Washington Post means illegal aliens.
00:40:14.600 They just used a completely deceptive term that doesn't actually explain those people
00:40:19.480 because they want to blur the distinction between illegal aliens and immigrants who come here.
00:40:25.240 You know, there are a lot of immigrants.
00:40:26.720 There are Italian immigrants.
00:40:28.260 There are Jewish immigrants.
00:40:29.900 There are illegal immigrants.
00:40:31.060 You know, just all different kinds of immigrants, right?
00:40:33.100 No, these are categorically different things.
00:40:35.240 And this is why you cannot trust anything that you read in these sources.
00:40:40.500 It's why you can't trust the news.
00:40:42.080 We see that everything is designed just to attack Donald Trump.
00:40:44.940 It isn't designed to report the news.
00:40:47.520 That's why we call it the fake news.
00:40:48.900 But just the language that they use comprises lies.
00:40:54.480 The whole constitution of the language that they use is lies.
00:40:58.400 The word immigrant to refer to illegal aliens is deceptive, dishonest, lying, fake language.
00:41:05.460 It's just baked into the very medium that they're using to report the news.
00:41:10.840 So that's a little bit of a sidebar.
00:41:12.660 But it's really important to pay attention to those things.
00:41:14.700 I've got a PragerU video coming out soon on the importance of language,
00:41:17.880 which is ironic because I didn't write a book.
00:41:19.860 So now I get to talk about language.
00:41:21.180 But it's very important to pay attention to that language.
00:41:24.000 Language concedes whole premises.
00:41:26.580 Back to North Korea.
00:41:27.900 This means, just in case you missed it, I know the news didn't report on it,
00:41:31.440 that our madman's strategy, you know, our madman,
00:41:34.000 North Korea has its madman and Donald Trump says you better watch out
00:41:37.880 because he's got to deal with this madman.
00:41:40.220 It seems that that strategy is working.
00:41:42.560 It seems that that strategy is working.
00:41:44.340 And it seems that the appointment of John Bolton isn't coincidental.
00:41:47.640 It seems that that is working.
00:41:49.040 John Bolton, maybe the most vocal voice in the United States,
00:41:52.440 the loudest voice in the United States,
00:41:54.500 attacking North Korea, hammering North Korea.
00:41:57.480 Donald Trump appointed John Bolton NSA like five minutes ago.
00:42:00.940 He hasn't even taken office yet.
00:42:02.980 And North Korea says, okay, we'll denuclearize.
00:42:05.080 Okay.
00:42:05.960 Hey, so I was thinking we might appoint John, but we'll do it.
00:42:08.240 We'll denuclearize.
00:42:09.160 I'm saying, okay, we'll do it.
00:42:09.960 Okay.
00:42:10.380 Well, I didn't even finish.
00:42:11.120 I could have said John Billington.
00:42:13.940 I could have said, no, but don't get you up, Bolton, right?
00:42:15.880 That is a pretty good strategy.
00:42:18.080 And this is the meaning of peace through strength.
00:42:21.220 Democrats totally misrepresent this.
00:42:23.160 They demagogue this all the time.
00:42:24.460 They accuse Republicans of warmongers.
00:42:27.660 Ronald Reagan talked about this in his famous speech in the 1960s,
00:42:31.200 A Time for Choosing.
00:42:32.840 Peace through strength.
00:42:35.420 What Democrats get us is war through weakness.
00:42:38.960 Barack Obama was a wartime president.
00:42:40.980 I was told if I voted for John McCain that we would get involved in many more wars in the Middle East.
00:42:46.300 And they were right.
00:42:47.240 I voted for John McCain and we got involved in more wars in the Middle East and in Africa.
00:42:52.660 They, just because one talks the talk of peace does not mean that one will affect peace.
00:43:00.000 This is the constant refrain of Democrats and lefties who want the appearance of the thing,
00:43:05.340 but not the essence of the thing.
00:43:06.840 Weakness leads to war and strength leads to peace.
00:43:09.540 It looks like we might be seeing that playing out right now.
00:43:12.840 Of course, I don't believe Kim Jong-un.
00:43:15.000 I don't believe little rocket man for one second.
00:43:17.840 Talk is cheap and we'll see what happens.
00:43:20.560 But, you know, just look at how the media is reporting this.
00:43:23.040 When Barack Obama said, hey, we're going to basically give Iran a nuclear weapon,
00:43:27.240 but they say that they probably won't do it.
00:43:29.360 He was lauded as this messiah, as the savior of the world from the brink of war,
00:43:34.760 even though Iran began cheating on that agreement almost immediately.
00:43:37.700 Donald Trump has a perfect parallel here with North Korea.
00:43:42.100 They say he's going to get us into war.
00:43:44.840 He's so crazy.
00:43:45.840 He's so crazy.
00:43:46.840 They're going to get us into war.
00:43:49.600 This is that parallel.
00:43:51.560 And who knows?
00:43:52.720 Probably Kim Jong-un is a liar and probably we can't trust him.
00:43:55.760 This is right ahead of the summit.
00:43:57.100 He said it to China.
00:43:58.220 But let's not forget that North Korea is basically just an ancillary state of China.
00:44:02.500 So if China pushes them, if get tough talk with China and putting pressure on China,
00:44:07.460 we'll force North Korea to the table.
00:44:09.640 All the better for it.
00:44:10.580 And we should remember the important phrase of Ronald Reagan.
00:44:13.200 Dover-yai, no prover-yai.
00:44:15.120 Trust, but verify.
00:44:16.080 I don't know how to say that in Korean.
00:44:17.440 We should look it up and hopefully Donald Trump says it at the table.
00:44:19.820 Okay.
00:44:20.140 I'm heading up to Korea.
00:44:21.180 I'm heading to Korea.
00:44:22.420 I can't wait.
00:44:23.160 It'll probably get protested there.
00:44:24.540 I'm heading up to Ithaca.
00:44:25.800 We'll have a show tomorrow.
00:44:26.880 We're going to be doing the mailbag.
00:44:27.840 So get all of your questions in, especially if Antifa comes going for me.
00:44:31.400 You know, this might be the last mailbag for a while.
00:44:33.220 So make sure you get all of your questions in.
00:44:35.400 In the meantime, I'm Michael Knowles.
00:44:36.540 This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:44:37.680 I'll see you tomorrow.
