A group of Columbia University students stormed and occupied Hamilton Hall yesterday morning, but as the hours wore on, the campus intifada began to feel a bit peckish. At which point the genderbending jihadis held a press conference to demand humanitarian aid in the form of snacks and soft drinks. Why should the university be obligated to provide food to people who ve taken over a building?
00:00:40.640I mean, well, I guess it's ultimately a question of what kind of community and obligation Columbia feels it has to its students.
00:00:47.360Do you want students to die of dehydration and starvation or get severely ill, even if they disagree with you?
00:00:53.660If the answer is no, then you should allow basic, I mean, it's crazy to say because we're on an Ivy League campus,
00:00:59.580but this is like basic humanitarian aid we're asking for.
00:01:01.980Like, could people please have a glass of water?
00:01:04.420But they did put themselves in that, very deliberately, in that situation and in that position.
00:01:11.220So it seems like you're sort of saying, we want to be revolutionaries, we want to take up this building.
00:01:16.700Now would you please bring us food and water?
00:01:19.660That was a pretty good question there from the reporter at the end.
00:01:22.560He observed that if the students really were on the brink of death from going five or six hours without a nice, refreshing sip of La Croix or some other tasty treat,
00:01:35.420the students might consider just going out and getting one themselves.
00:01:40.020And now the gluttonous little gorillas probably were somewhat parched and piggish.
00:01:44.840They are used to getting what they want, no matter how unreasonable the demand.
00:01:48.640H.L. Mencken once observed that democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.
00:01:56.380That is certainly true of Democrats, capital D Democrats, who are now reaping the harvest of what they have spent many decades sowing.
00:02:04.540And no matter how much Republicans want to stop the madness, and I know a lot of Republicans want to put an end to this,
00:02:11.720if the Republicans have any sense at all this election year, they will refrain from interfering.
00:02:18.540And they will make sure that the Democrats, now caught in a crisis, continue to get exactly what they have long said that they want, good and hard.
00:02:28.940I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:02:30.600Welcome back to the show. Joe Biden bans TikTok. The Republicans are celebrating.
00:02:53.780Some people are really being hurt by this.
00:02:55.580And really, the people who are being helped seem mostly to be libs and Democrats, so I'm not sure this was the smartest move.
00:03:02.120Not sure it's the best look for Republicans.

00:04:39.560It's just back in my day, the big protest movement was Occupy Wall Street, and they had Occupy movements all over the campuses.
00:04:46.200And it was annoying, and they had the tents, and they smelled.
00:04:48.580But basically what that protest movement came down to was a bunch of weirdos camping out, doing drugs, hooking up, sitting around in drum circles, okay?
00:04:59.720Which is annoying and stupid, but kind of funny or, you know, it's whatever.
00:05:46.160At least back in the 60s, when the black radicals took over Willard Strait Hall at Cornell, they were carrying rifles, you know, sending the poor parents out.
00:05:56.160These were radical leftists who wanted revolution.
00:06:02.000But at least they kind of, they called for revolution, and they really looked like they meant it.
00:06:06.840These people, they just look like, I mean, all of them, down to a man or a woman or people who don't look really like a man or a woman.
00:06:13.500They just look like the kind of people who, if they had gotten one more hug from dad when they were six years old, they would be perfectly fine.
00:06:21.220But they never got over it, and now they're angry, and they're throwing their temper tantrum, albeit this time in keffias.
00:06:27.500Albeit this time, well, they're siding with, you know, jihadis or something.
00:06:32.480Really, who could have predicted that?
00:06:36.700You know, my main takeaway from it, other than a great deal of laughter at these people and anyone trying to ally with these people, is give them their Pringles.
00:06:51.080I want to make sure that these protests go on for as long as possible.
00:06:56.040I feel bad for the students who can't make it to class or whatever, who, maybe they had a class that was supposed to take place in that building, and now, you know, the gender-bending jihadis have taken over the building, and they can't.
00:07:23.680The administrators, who are now trying to negotiate with the least terrifying terrorists ever in the history of violence, they're leftists.
00:07:32.320Not one of them voted for Donald Trump.
00:07:34.440The people who want to send their kids to these schools, they're leftists.
00:07:37.900The people in the neighborhoods around New York, they're leftists.
00:08:21.620Every time that angry young woman opens her mouth, I think five more votes go to Donald Trump.
00:08:27.900Every time that androgynous, effeminate man with the keffia and the crop top sort of just struts around behind her, we get another 10 votes for Donald Trump.
00:09:06.220There's always a little bit of Jew hatred throughout history, sometimes a little more pronounced, sometimes a little less.
00:09:13.660Sometimes it's more concentrated on the right.
00:09:15.720Sometimes it's more concentrated on the left.
00:09:17.480Right now, there is no question it is concentrated on the left.
00:09:20.780In America, throughout the Anglosphere and Europe, it's a left-wing thing mostly.
00:09:25.620And the young ones, I mean, these homosexuals and feminists and girl-powered gender studies majors are wearing the headgear of radical militant jihadis, Islamists, okay, who don't take very kindly to the LGBT community or uppity women, okay?
00:09:48.760They don't really, they're not the biggest fans, and yet these young people are so angry at the state of Israel that they've convinced themselves, I don't know, next they're going to be wearing full burqas or something just to totally own the Jews with facts and logic with, I don't know, with the Quran and the Hadith.
00:10:04.660It's so hilarious, I mean, it's so absurd, it's so insane, that we should send them more costumes, we should give them more microphones, we should give them more cameras.
00:10:20.180This is a bad look, man, this ain't going to play in Peoria.
00:10:23.500This is a totally fringe view that is not only rejected by the Republican Party, it's not only rejected by independent and moderate voters, it's even rejected by half of the Democrats.
00:10:34.660It's very bad, I obviously don't encourage people to cultivate unjust prejudices and hatreds of any group, but right now this is really farcical.
00:10:47.620Right now, I don't actually think that Jihad Jain over there is going to set off a dirty bomb in Morningside Heights.
00:10:54.420I think she's just going to explode the Democrats' political chances the more she speaks.
00:11:15.780First, though, go to hillsdale.edu slash Knowles.
00:11:18.980Are you tired of scrolling through shows on TV and finding nothing but the same mind-numbing brain rot content?
00:11:26.480Use that time to learn something new and inspiring with Hillsdale College.
00:11:30.080Hillsdale College is offering more than 40 free online courses.
00:11:33.420You can learn about the works of C.S. Lewis, the stories in the book of Genesis, the meaning of the U.S. Constitution, the rise and fall of the Roman Republic,
00:11:40.020or the history of the ancient Christian church with Hillsdale College's online courses, all available for free.
00:11:45.900If you are not sure which lecture to try, a great place to start is with American Citizenship and Its Decline with Victor Davis Hanson.
00:11:54.080In this eight-lecture course, Dr. Hanson explores the history of citizenship in the West and the threats it faces today.
00:12:00.100With their self-paced courses, you have the freedom to start whenever and wherever you want.
00:12:03.660Go right now to hillsdale.edu slash Knowles, K-N-N-W-L-E-S, to start.
00:13:11.700You get this MSNBC left-wing hack, and she just pushes back in the mildest way.
00:13:18.740Pelosi says, Trump has the worst record on jobs of any president.
00:13:21.520And Trump has actually one of the best records on jobs.
00:13:24.080But in the final year of his presidency, the global authorities and the Democrats, mostly in America, demanded that we voluntarily shut down the economy.
00:13:35.500That's not, oh no, Bear Stearns is collapsing.
00:13:37.820That is a conscious decision by the government to tell people you don't have a job anymore and you won't for the next six months, 12 months, 18 months.
00:13:48.840That's just a shutting down of the whole system, mostly pushed by Democrats.
00:13:53.340So this interviewer, because she has any self-respect at all, any integrity, she goes, well, hold on, Speaker Pelosi, Leader Pelosi, there was a global pandemic.
00:14:05.820It wasn't, that wasn't his record on jobs.
00:16:11.260So you're, you're, you're seeing, and this is, this is always a telltale sign of the, of the political reality.
00:16:17.360When the libs are turning on the lib media, when the libs are turning on their own propagandists out of frustration, that is a sign that they don't, they don't have anything to propagandize.
00:16:28.140They don't have any, they don't have any persuasive talking points that they even could promote to the public.
00:16:35.300So when that is the case, as it is right now for the Democrats, their only option is censorship.
00:16:40.340If they don't have any good news to spread or even any plausible propaganda that they can spread, then their only other option is to censor, which is exactly what they're doing.
00:16:49.700Joe Biden just signed this bill that was pushed, I think, imprudently by Republicans to ban TikTok.
00:17:34.480I have no problem with, uh, we, the people through our representatives exercising our political rights to delineate, uh, the public square.
00:17:42.540Kind of like pruning a garden in principle, the Chinese communist party could use TikTok to push a bunch of, you know, red, red Chinese propaganda onto our utes.
00:17:54.920And we, we have the political right to stop that in principle, but is that really what's happening?
00:18:03.540Does it seem to, does it seem to me that Xi Jinping is really the one benefiting from TikTok being popular in the U S?
00:18:09.900No, who, who benefits, not just from TikTok, who benefits from the banning of TikTok seems to me the clearest beneficiary of the banning of TikTok is Joe Biden.
00:18:22.160Because right now TikTok has turned against Joe Biden and that's because TikTok is used by Gen Z and Gen Z has turned against Joe Biden and Gen Z has turned against Joe Biden in no small part because of his Gaza policy, because they've all turned into a bunch of jihadis.
00:18:36.020And there are many very interesting historical and sociological reasons for why that happened, but they're, they're now, they're out there now on campus wearing the keffias demanding humanitarian aid in the form of Ruffles potato chips and chicken tenders and seltzer water.
00:18:50.360And they're really angry that Joe Biden is still supporting the state of Israel.
00:18:55.800Some of Biden's donors are upset that he's not supporting the state of Israel enough, but the boomer donors are not on TikTok.
00:19:02.340It's the young people on TikTok and it's causing a real political headache.
00:19:06.740They got to censor TikTok because that is where Biden is losing a constituency that he cannot afford to lose, which is young voters, a group that Democrats rely on.
00:26:25.240You might say, well, there should be a discrimination against white people because the white people have benefited from 7 billion years of all the oppression that they've inflicted on.
00:34:54.980Because they've been doing this for some years now.
00:34:57.340If you compare this past TV season with the 1996 to 1997 TV season, you'll notice not a decrease, but an increase in LGBT representation, an increase by 1,276%.
00:35:13.26013.7 times more LGBT LMNOP characters on TV today compared with the late 90s.
00:35:22.900That is a major cultural retreat, major loss for conservatives, huge win for the left.
00:35:31.580I don't have a problem in principle with people who have deviant or confused sexual desires being represented on TV.
00:36:20.200It has spread sexual confusion as a social contagion, especially to young people.
00:36:24.720One in five Zoomers identifies as LGBT, which is insane, obviously, means either something is in the water and Alex Jones was right about the frogs, which he actually was.
00:36:33.260Or, let's say, in addition to that, this is a social contagion because we're mimetic creatures as human beings, and we respond to culture, and we respond to the behavior of other people.
00:36:45.580And you get a lot of copycats, which is exactly what the libs want.
00:37:02.860And most people think, hey, if you have some weird desires and you kind of entertain them in the recesses of your mind or, you know, in some private place somewhere, I don't really care.
00:37:11.340We're not going to send the purity police around, you know, like we're not going to send the Iranian police department with their white vans to go pick you up and, you know, make you dress differently.
00:37:22.300The libs might soon do that because they're increasingly becoming jihadis, but it's actually not the right that's doing that.
00:37:27.560We don't, if you want to have some private thought or something, whatever, you know.
00:38:02.400Why do you, because it's obviously not just about the poor oppressed people privately exercising their misunderstood desires or, you know, unaccepted desires.
00:38:17.500That's what the left has been stating.
00:38:19.580At least the intellectuals of the left have been saying for a century, and the people don't like it.
00:38:24.920One of those intellectuals, one of the best ones, Antonio Gramsci, the Italian communist, observed, the only way to have a successful revolution is to hold on to the common sense.
00:38:36.180You got to keep the people on your side.
00:38:37.640Sometimes you push too hard, and the people don't like your theories, and they smack you down.
00:40:26.660And the most notable thing about her talk show is they've got this really big set and this really big couch.
00:40:32.420And she sits really close to her guests.
00:40:34.780At one point, she was interviewing Dylan Mulvaney.
00:40:37.040She was down on her knees, like supplicating, you know, just gobbling up every word that Dylan Mulvaney, every pearl of wisdom that came from Dylan Mulvaney's mouth.
00:40:46.280Well, she did the same thing with Kamala Harris.
00:40:49.860And she coined a new term and articulated a novel desire for the vice president.
00:41:30.000Maybe some of you out there, I don't want Kamala Harris to be my mom or my Mamala.
00:41:38.860The craziest thing about Drew Barrymore's declaration here is not just the funny wording and not just Kamala with her really super serious face saying, yes, I will be your Mamala, yes.
00:41:54.040The craziest thing is Kamala Harris is not a mom.
00:41:58.640She's not a mom, and she doesn't appear to have ever wanted to be a mom.
00:42:02.940It's not just that she's not a mom because, you know, she tried for years and years to get pregnant, and some couples are infertile, and it's very painful, and, you know, maybe she could go out and adopt it.
00:42:14.540Kamala Harris didn't get married until she was 50.
00:42:17.460Kamala Harris has never at any point in her life suggested that she has desired to be a mother.
00:42:32.220She wanted to be a lawyer and then a politician and then a senator and then now vice president of the United States, and she obviously wants to be president.
00:43:17.320And it's not just a problem of infertility, which is another problem we should try to address medically and politically and environmentally.
00:43:25.940These people just don't want to have children.
00:43:27.740Increasingly, people just are choosing not to have children.
00:43:30.540And it's really bad when it's the leaders of our country who are behaving in this way because they are expressing through their actions that they don't care about the future of the country.
00:43:40.800They don't really have skin in the game to make sure that they are leaving for posterity a better country than they found.
00:43:49.300And a consequence of that is the main inheritance that we appear to be leaving politically to the next generation is a mountain of debt.
00:43:57.640Patrick Dineen made this book quite beautifully in Why Liberalism Failed.
00:44:00.840There's obviously something sick in a culture that leaves, as its chief inheritance to future generations, debt rather than something bigger, something that they've built that they actually leave them because they have an interest in the future.
00:44:16.940Drew Barrymore is perfectly wrong here.
00:44:19.440Kamala Harris, first of all, I don't want the vice president to be mommy generally.
00:44:23.660Don't even really want the president or vice president to be daddy.
00:44:27.260I guess there is a paternal aspect to the presidency.
00:44:30.920We refer to George Washington as the father of our country.
00:44:33.580And so, but I don't want to, I don't really want like a maternal aspect.
00:44:37.360I don't, no mamala, especially when the politicians we're talking about have no maternal instincts.
00:44:48.140Now, that's not even the weirdest thing that came out of the Drew Barrymore.
00:45:24.000They would sit around the kitchen and drink their coffee, telling big stories with big laughs.
00:45:30.080I, you know, I'm never going to be, that's just, that's just, I'm not that person.
00:45:35.900And I think it's really important for us to remind each other and our younger ones, don't be confined to other people's perception about what this looks like and who you, how you should act in order to be.
00:45:58.040It, I'm going to get the words a little off, but let me see if I can, it's very important to remind each other and our young ones to not be constrained by other people's perceptions of what it is to act and to be.
00:46:24.580Can it, it reminds me of a great quote from Oscar Gamble, former New York Yankee, who said that some people don't think it'd be like it is, but it do.
00:46:35.380Which actually has a much clearer semantic value.
00:46:39.500One can much more easily discern the meaning of Oscar Gamble's great wisdom, or even a Yogi Berra-ism, you know, it's deja vu all over again.
00:46:49.460I don't know, a lot of, a lot of confusing wisdom comes out of the New York Yankees.
00:46:52.300But it's much clearer than whatever Kamala Harris is saying.
00:46:55.420And that's why I laugh, because it's important that the future, to know that we won't be constrained by what it is, but what we could be and what we were and how to act and to be.
00:47:50.360Other than that, can you think of a thought, an idea that that woman has ever expressed?
00:47:55.740It's just words mashed up next to each other that give the illusion of a sentence, that then give the illusion of a paragraph, that then give the illusion of an argument.
00:48:07.840And so she has to punctuate this blather, this absolute piffle that she produces from her vocal cords with laughter to fill the space where thoughts should be.
