The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1871 - The Left & Right Rally Behind Jasmine Crockett's Low IQ Campaign

00:00:00.000 In our divided political climate, it seems like Democrats and Republicans can never agree on

00:00:05.080 anything. But rising star Democrat Congressman Jasmine Crockett may have, for the first time 0.81

00:00:11.940 in decades, brought Democrats and Republicans together in perfect agreement with the official

00:00:18.080 launch for her US Senate campaign. Here is the ad. How about this new one they have,

00:00:26.340 their new star, Crockett? How about her? She's the new star of the Democrat Party, Jasmine Crockett. 0.99

00:00:32.820 They're in big trouble. But you have this woman, Crockett. She's a very low IQ person. 0.99

00:00:38.940 I watched her speak the other day. She's definitely a low IQ person. Crockett. Oh, man. Oh, man. 0.92

00:00:47.420 She's a very low IQ person. Somebody said the other day, she's one of the leaders of the party. 0.93

00:00:54.000 I think you got to be kidding. Now they're going to rely on Crockett. Crockett's going to bring him

00:00:59.520 back. Crockett, Crockett for US Senate. This is it. This is it. We've reached the apotheosis of

00:01:09.080 politics, the end of history, the ultimate synthesis between alternating theses and antitheses. 1.00

00:01:16.460 She's an idiot. She's a star. I'm a star and an idiot. It is political messaging. So bold. 1.00

00:01:29.060 She might win. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:46.460 Welcome back to the show. Controversial, provocateur, live streamer, Nick Fuentes

00:01:55.180 faced off with Piers Morgan yesterday on Piers Morgan's show. It had a ton of live viewers.

00:02:01.640 It got a ton of reaction. Everybody's talking about this interview. And now some people are

00:02:07.260 claiming that all that talk and all those views are actually fake. And they're being

00:02:12.060 astroturf from overseas by hostile interests. And we'll dig in a little bit to the interview.

00:02:19.280 We'll dig in a little bit to the study that purports to show that it's not really popular.

00:02:24.540 And there's a lot of misinformation going around. First, I want to tell you about Ave Maria Mutual

00:03:45.460 this ad is great. For those of you who are only listening, it's her, and she's just, she's in

00:03:50.020 profile. She's just standing there, and you hear all these lines, Trump just saying, man, she's an

00:03:54.180 idiot, huh? Man, that woman is low IQ. It's crazy. But they're saying she's the leader of the party, 1.00

00:04:00.100 but she's really dumb. But maybe she's the leader of the party. And then she just slowly turns, 1.00

00:04:03.820 and smiles, like an idiot or like a genius. And you don't quite know. That's the ambiguity in the 1.00

00:04:11.480 ad. I think it's a great ad. I think it's a great launch video. I mean that without any irony

00:04:15.740 whatsoever. It's great. Why is it great? It's great because she gets what politics in America

00:04:23.080 is about right now. And that's one word, five letters, Trump. Politics in America has been about

00:04:30.180 Trump for a decade. And some people try to say, it's not really about Trump. It's about this issue,

00:04:36.440 and it's about that issue, and it's not really. It is about Trump. Trump's the biggest political

00:04:41.860 star. He was the biggest TV star. Before that, he's been a star for 40 years. And she knows that.

00:04:47.240 And so rather than run away from that, she leans into it. Rather than try to undermine that,

00:04:53.840 rather than launch her ad making fun of Trump, say, she leans in. She says, no, look, he dominates

00:05:00.520 American politics. He won the popular vote in 2024. Obviously, a lot of people like him.

00:05:06.460 And I'm going to use him to talk about me because he's talking about me.

00:05:10.280 And if the biggest political star of a decade or more, really more than that, though he's been

00:05:16.080 the man since he announced for president in 2015, the big star says that I'm the next big star.

00:05:23.560 And that's good for me. And one of Trump's secrets is everyone called him an idiot. But 1.00

00:05:29.520 it turns out he's not an idiot. Turns out he's actually very good at being president. 1.00

00:05:32.660 Turns out he's good at the domestic policy. He's good at the foreign policy. He's a lot better than

00:05:36.320 anybody thought he is. He's better at electoral politics. He's only the second guy in American

00:05:40.080 history to get elected to a non-consecutive second term. So one of his key advantages is being

00:05:43.980 called an idiot and then proving people wrong. Well, what did Trump do? He called her an idiot. 1.00

00:05:49.380 So you get it in his own words. She turns, she smiles at this. 1.00

00:05:53.740 Makes her an underdog. It manages expectations. It catches attention because this is not the kind

00:05:59.900 of ad you're supposed to put out there. She's running for Senate in Texas. Compare her to the 1.00

00:06:04.920 last two candidates they've had running for Senate in Texas. Who are those guys? Colin Allred.

00:06:10.420 Remember him? Colin Allred, who tried to be a moderate. He pretended

00:06:13.960 to be a moderate. And then Ted Cruz knocked him out with that commercial where Colin Allred was a

00:06:20.240 football player and he tackles a little girl. The Colin Allred character tackles a little girl

00:06:24.900 because he made it about men and women's sports. So the supposed moderate who's trying to win over 0.96

00:06:30.740 the Republican sports, he gets blown out of the water. Same thing. Remember Beto? I'm Beto.

00:06:35.920 He's skateboarding around the Waterburger parking lot. Him too. He was trying to be a moderate. I'm

00:06:40.780 trying to be the next John F. Kennedy. And he just, there was no place for him. He got destroyed

00:06:46.180 by Ted Cruz. So the Democrats are saying, we got to run a moderate in Texas. We got to run someone

00:06:52.600 who seems Republican, even if they support the Democrat policies. Well, that hasn't worked.

00:06:58.200 You've gotten a little closer than some people expected, but you don't want to,

00:07:01.840 it doesn't matter how close you get. It doesn't matter if you lose by a tenth of a percentage point.

00:07:05.280 If you lose, you lose. The winners make policy, the losers go home.

00:07:07.780 So Jasmine Crockett is going to come out. She hasn't made this argument explicitly yet,

00:07:11.840 but she will, which is, hey, you've tried this one strategy. It hasn't worked. So you got to go

00:07:17.500 with me. You've tried the guys who seem kind of like white bread and milquetoast and that hasn't

00:07:22.340 worked. So try me. I code switch. I'm provocative. I'm vulgar. I appeal to the lowest common denominator.

00:07:30.840 Try me. Why not? The other one hasn't worked. Try me. I think she's a good politician. I've long 0.96

00:07:36.480 said this about AOC. When all the Republicans are just making fun of AOC, what an idiot. Ha ha ha. 1.00

00:07:41.680 This is such a joke. I said, hey, guys, whatever. I'm not saying she's a Rhodes Scholar, but she's

00:07:45.500 pretty good at her job. Same thing's true of Jasmine Crockett. Okay. Speaking of more bold 1.00

00:07:51.740 political messaging, the Department of Homeland Security has a great Christmas message.

00:07:55.720 They've come out to say that illegal aliens need to go ho, ho, home. The message posted it to social

00:08:05.480 media and it's the police with their Santa hats on in front of Christmas trees with little Christmas

00:08:11.360 lights on their police shields sending the illegals home. Do we have the video? They put a wreath on the 1.00

00:08:18.800 Humvee. It's really nice. And the libs are furious. How dare you? Even the squishes in the Republican

00:08:25.940 party. How dare you? How dare you make light of this at Christmas time? How could you? How could you?

00:08:31.500 So that obviously they're always going to complain about this kind of provocative, flamboyant messaging

00:08:37.040 that's coming from the DHS, from the Trump administration. But you're also hearing complaints

00:08:41.760 from some people on the right. You're hearing complaints from Trump's right.

00:08:45.820 In as much as there are people, some of whom voted for Trump, some of whom sought to undermine

00:08:51.180 Trump, but they call themselves on the right. And they'll say, well, Trump isn't deporting enough

00:08:55.480 people. The problem with this kind of provocative messaging is not the actual cruelty that it reflects.

00:09:03.020 It's that it doesn't reflect enough cruelty. So basically, the Trump administration is pulling

00:09:09.140 a bait and switch. They promised you mass deportations. They didn't give you mass deportations.

00:09:13.100 Now they're just giving you provocative, fun messaging to make you feel good emotionally,

00:09:17.340 but not actually delivered. That's the criticism from the right. And it's kind of bogus.

00:09:21.680 It's kind of bogus when you look at the real numbers. Because some people say, oh, Trump's only

00:09:26.780 deported 300,000, 400,000 people. That isn't true, first of all. The official number of formal

00:09:32.980 deportations is 527,000 as of last month. But that doesn't tell you anywhere near the whole story.

00:09:39.240 Because the majority of people, illegal aliens who have left this country over the Trump 0.69

00:09:45.640 administration over the last 11 months, have self-deported. Some of them have self-deported

00:09:51.080 using an app, a smaller number of self-deported using an app where the government incentivizes

00:09:55.060 them, says, we'll pay you a thousand bucks when we geolocate you down in your country of origin.

00:10:00.320 But many, many more have just left because they don't want to get raided by ICE, because they don't

00:10:04.880 want to be arrested, because they don't want to sit in prison, because they don't want to go down to

00:10:07.820 Bukele's torture chamber in El Salvador. At least that's how it's described by the liberal media.

00:10:13.400 It's as though they're going to send them down to a concentration camp in El Salvador.

00:10:16.180 By the way, El Salvador has promoted that image. They frog march those face-tattooed MS-13 gangsters

00:10:23.480 around to make it seem scary as all get out. They do that for a reason, too. It's the same reason

00:10:28.140 that you have the ho-ho-ho post from the DHS. And that is to encourage people to get in line

00:10:33.660 themselves, because it's much more efficient as a matter of cost, as a matter of federal resources,

00:10:38.120 like personnel resources. It's much more efficient if people start following the law of their own

00:10:43.100 accord, with some encouragement maybe from the PR campaigns. It's much more efficient if people

00:10:48.180 self-deport. So the official government number for self-deports is over three times the formal

00:10:55.840 deportation number. It's 1.6 million self-deports just this year. Other organizations have looked at

00:11:01.580 this. Some people have lower numbers, but they're all pretty impressive.

00:11:04.400 The lowest reports say it's between 500,000 and 700,000. Okay, so that means that you're getting

00:11:10.320 100% more deportations than the official government numbers show you through self-deportation.

00:11:18.780 And why do you get the self-deports? Because you have this relentless PR campaign saying that we're

00:11:25.320 going to go kick your door and arrest your granny and send her to a concentration camp in El Salvador. 1.00

00:11:29.480 That serves a strategic purpose, a strategic purpose to encourage self-deportation. I think 0.93

00:11:36.160 this criticism, supposedly from the right of the Trump administration, it's really weak stuff. I think

00:11:42.360 it's from people who got it wrong, who said that Trump wasn't going to do what he said he was going

00:11:46.460 to do. And then he did end up substantially doing what he said he was going to do. And now it's a kind

00:11:50.620 of cope for that. But no, it's and it curiously apes the exact criticism you're getting from the

00:11:57.420 left. The Trump administration shouldn't message this way. It's cruel. It's over the top. It's

00:12:02.760 provocative. Yeah, but it works. It works. And it's, by the way, it works to advance the cause of

00:12:09.220 humanity in these deportations. Because it's a lot better for these people to just go home of their

00:12:15.740 own accord than it is for Tom Homan to kick in their door, grab them by the ankles and throw them

00:12:21.300 into prison in El Salvador. Okay. Much, much more effective political messaging than the old kind

00:12:26.980 that we got from the GOP. The old kind, which we're still hearing again from a sitting US senator

00:12:31.640 saying we all need to wake up every day. First question we have to ask ourselves,

00:12:35.420 how can we be nicer to immigrants? First, I want to tell you about Birch Gold. Text Knowles,

00:13:51.780 Republican Senator John Curtis is a senator from Utah. Most people don't really know a lot of

00:13:59.200 senators. Isn't that funny? You know, this is one of the most exclusive clubs in the world,

00:14:02.540 and yet a lot of people are going to say, John Curtis, who's that guy? Never heard of it. I know Mike Lee.

00:14:05.760 Mike Lee. Rock-ribbed Mike Lee. I know that's senator from Utah. I remember Mitt Romney. Squish

00:14:10.840 Mitt Romney. I guess he's gone. Okay, so John Curtis, Republican Senator from Utah, goes on CNN,

00:14:16.900 not a good sign. And he has this to say about what Americans should do when we wake up.

00:14:23.940 Control anybody but me, right? And the best thing I can do is set my example. And I think all of us

00:14:30.240 need to wake up every morning, look in the mirror, and say, what are we doing? What am I doing

00:14:34.680 specifically today to make this country a better country, to make all of our immigrants feel more

00:14:40.360 welcome? That's what we've always had. And I think if more of us would do that, it would matter less

00:14:45.820 what individuals said. Right. But as you know, he's not just an individual. He's the president of the

00:14:50.960 United States calling an entire community garbage. So what is going on in Utah? There are some great 0.98

00:14:59.440 guys in Utah. I mentioned Mike Lee. Mike Lee, rock-ribbed, plugged in, hardcore, gets it.

00:15:06.280 Gets it. Responsive to the base. Serious guy. But then, what on earth? You get the kind of the

00:15:15.820 Romney types. You get this. First thing you do in the morning is you wake up. You say,

00:15:20.080 how can we make the face-tattooed Trendy Aragua cartel members feel a little more welcome today?

00:15:26.480 That's what we've always done. What? I wake up in the morning. First thing I think is,

00:15:30.980 oh, shoot, I got to write my show. Uh-oh. Why did I snooze so many times? I got to write my show.

00:15:35.620 Second thing I think is, I wonder what Elise is making for breakfast.

00:15:38.620 Ooh, I hope. Did she buy a ham steak yesterday? I think she bought a ham steak. Man,

00:15:42.720 I hope I get ham steak and my eggs and cheese. That'll be really. Third thing I think,

00:15:46.560 I need to go make my espresso. I'm feeling a little bit groggy. Fourth thing I think,

00:15:50.540 what was that thing that I dreamt about? It's kind of funny, isn't it? You wake up and then you

00:15:54.020 have this vivid dream and then you kind of forget your dream. Somewhere around the 10 billionth thing

00:15:59.320 I think about is how can we make all of the illegal aliens feel better today? 1.00

00:16:07.380 Long before I think about that, I think, how can we make the illegal aliens feel worse today so 1.00

00:16:12.420 they leave and go home? What on earth? He says, this is how it's always been in America.

00:16:18.440 A reminder, and we'll get to the way that history is written and rewritten,

00:16:22.200 just the natural course of history momentarily. But a reminder for much of, if not most of American

00:16:30.160 history, we have not been particularly welcoming to migrants. When the country was founded,

00:16:35.540 first of all, even before the official founding of the country, this place was settled by very

00:16:40.620 tightly knit communities who not only didn't welcome newcomers openly, but who frequently

00:16:46.380 kicked out members. I think of poor Anne Hutchinson in her Puritan religious community here in New 0.99

00:16:51.800 England, when she embraced a view considered heretic, it actually was heretical, but considered

00:16:56.740 heretical by her community. And she was banished and had to go to New York where she got murdered by

00:17:01.300 Indians. And we now have the Hutchinson Parkway near the spot of her murder. What I remember people

00:17:07.940 banishing, there was a poet in one of the Puritan communities. I guess, I actually think it was

00:17:13.160 Plymouth Colony. There was a poet who was a little bit bawdy. He would write about women in a kind of a

00:17:18.040 bawdy way. He was banished to an island. He wasn't even allowed to stay in the colony. He was banished

00:17:23.420 to an island to wait for a ship from England to pick him up. Then after the founding era, we severely

00:17:30.120 restricted immigration until, I don't know, about the middle of the 19th century. We started to let some 0.88

00:17:35.340 people in, and then we were very mean to them. We were very rough on the immigrants from Germany, 1.00

00:17:40.760 later from Ireland. We were very rough on the immigrants from China. Cut that one off pretty 1.00

00:17:45.500 quick. Tough on the Italians, tough on the Jews. Then in the 1920s, we just stopped it, basically. 0.98

00:17:52.980 We severely restricted immigration all the way until the mid-60s. So this story, America's a nation 0.79

00:17:58.340 of immigrants, that is not true. That is totally made up. And beyond that, the idea that we were always

00:18:03.560 welcoming to immigrants is completely preposterous. That is not the story of America. 1.00

00:18:09.640 Anyway, this is the line. It would have been crazy to hear this line even 10 years ago.

00:18:16.320 But we did hear it, though. And to hear it today, after the Trump revolution, you think,

00:18:22.940 it's this kind of talk that necessitated the rise of Trump. Because that kind of talk is crazy.

00:18:31.160 And Trump was a corrective to that. And does he get it right all the time? No,

00:18:34.900 he's gotten it right, I don't know, 99.3% of the time, probably. But obviously,

00:18:38.620 he's a human being. People get stuff wrong. But that's why Trump happened. And a lot of the old

00:18:42.700 guard couldn't get it when Trump happened. Totally, totally insane. Okay, speaking of provocative 0.58

00:18:47.400 rhetoric, there was a showdown yesterday on Piers Morgan's show. It was between the very controversial,

00:18:53.200 very, very provocateur, right-wing streamer, Nick Fuentes and Piers Morgan. And there's been this

00:19:00.980 kind of game for a long time. No one wanted to have Fuentes on their platforms because he was saying

00:19:06.280 very extreme things that people found very offensive. In most cases, rightly found very,

00:19:11.120 very offensive. And so they didn't want to have him on. And then slowly, people have been

00:19:15.720 having him on. So one guy has him on, and then they say, oh, he got a lot of views. All right,

00:19:20.660 the next guy has him. Well, that guy got a lot of views. Then the next guy. And it becomes this

00:19:23.860 very tempting thing for broadcasters to say, well, I want to get those cool views. And so

00:19:28.200 they start to have him on. And Piers Morgan comes in, and he said, look, people are doing softball

00:19:33.300 interviews. I want to do a hardball interview. And so they have this interview, and I thought it was

00:19:37.600 very, very interesting. Piers asked a lot of very good questions, and I thought Fuentes answered them

00:19:42.680 very, very astutely, very shrewdly. I mean, this is a very impressive political operator.

00:19:50.160 There's no question about that. Now the reaction is, it's all fake. So the New York Post has this

00:19:58.640 world news exclusive based on a new report that has just come out, supposedly, that says that

00:20:05.120 Fuentes' following, his apparent popularity is an illusion. The headline is Fuentes may be racist,

00:20:12.480 but he relies on Nigeria and India to fuel his popularity online. Says the white supremacist, 0.89

00:20:19.480 Nick Fuentes doesn't seem to mind benefiting from bot farms in Pakistan, India, and Nigeria promoting

00:20:24.820 his content. The post has learned. This is based on a report, a study, supposedly, from the Network

00:20:31.480 Contagion Research Institute, which is a nonprofit that purports to study extremism on the internet.

00:20:37.940 Okay. You have some people on one side saying Fuentes is entirely organic. It's a creed to occur from the

00:20:49.080 voice of the people. He's the voice of his generation, and it's all totally organic.

00:20:54.000 Then you have some people on the other side saying, no, the Fuentes phenomenon, it's completely fake.

00:20:58.280 It's astroturfed. None of it is real. These are not the droids you're looking for. Pay no attention to

00:21:03.700 the man behind the curtain. It's just forget about it. The thing you think you're seeing is not true.

00:21:09.020 Don't believe your lying eyes. I guess, as is often the case on these sorts of issues,

00:21:15.760 I have the third and probably least popular view, but it's obviously the correct view, which is one, 0.97

00:21:22.260 yes, of course, there is a major foreign interest in exacerbating divisions within the ruling political

00:21:30.200 coalition. The ruling political coalition now, believe it or not, Mirabile Dictu, is on the right.

00:21:37.060 The Republicans have a unified government. We have the White House, we have the House, we have the Senate,

00:21:41.080 and we have the Supreme Court. And the president won the popular vote for the first time in 20 years as a

00:21:46.260 Republican. So right now, the right way, the conservative movement, the right wing coalition is the ruling

00:21:52.280 political movement for now. We'll see how long that lasts. And so obviously, forget about this moment.

00:21:58.900 It is eternally true. It is perennially true, I should say, that there is a foreign interest 1.00

00:22:05.600 from our adversaries in trying to create divisions within the ruling coalition.

00:22:10.740 Our adversaries have been doing this for many, many decades. And we do know that a lot of stuff

00:22:15.520 on social media is bot farmed. Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, sure, sure. However, the thing that the people

00:22:21.280 who say it's all an illusion, it's all fake, and you're not really seeing what you're seeing,

00:22:23.960 the thing that they get wrong, is they don't understand how these foreign campaigns work.

00:22:30.760 The way that a foreign interference campaign works is not by just inventing a problem.

00:22:36.700 It's not by just creating popularity with a magic wand. The way that these campaigns work

00:22:42.600 is by exploiting fissures that already exist. That's the only way they work. Think about the most

00:22:48.660 prominent example of this in the last hundred years was the Soviet Union exploiting racial divisions in

00:22:54.080 the 1960s. The Soviet Union was behind a lot of so-called civil rights groups. A lot of the black 0.98

00:23:01.020 power groups, a lot of the radical leftist groups, the Soviet Union was backing them.

00:23:06.880 The reason it worked, however, is that there were those racial fissures and subsequent ideological

00:23:13.580 fissures within America already. The Soviet Union might have been able to make them more pronounced, 0.51

00:23:19.540 might have made them much worse, but they didn't invent them out of whole cloth. I think that's

00:23:25.220 what's going on here. The people who say that this phenomenon is, it's all bots, it's all just foreign

00:23:31.340 ops, it's all just engagement farming. That is pure cope, man. That is head in the sand copium to make

00:23:38.640 people feel better. That is not true. Likewise, likewise, the people who are saying that there's

00:23:44.300 no foreign interference whatsoever, I mean, I think that's totally naive and ridiculous and 0.52

00:23:48.760 contrary to everything we've seen from our adversaries in history. But let's get back to

00:23:52.560 the first one. That is cope. The reason that if there is such a foreign interference op can work 1.00

00:24:01.200 is because there are fissures already within the Republican Party, within the conservative coalition.

00:24:06.300 Fissures on foreign policy. Fissures on foreign alliances. Fissures on economics. Fissures especially

00:24:14.800 on migration. That is all real. And there are incentives for foreign actors to try to push it 0.71

00:24:23.040 in ways that are going to be deleterious to the ruling coalition. Yeah, of course. But those fissures

00:24:28.040 already exist. That is what is being hashed out. People always talk about the conservative civil war.

00:24:32.780 Perennially, there is a conservative civil war. So, you know, you get 100 right-wingers in a room.

00:24:37.200 They will find the one thing they all disagree on and try to kill each other over it. However,

00:24:41.360 sometimes it gets hotter. Sometimes it gets colder. We're in one of those hotter periods right now.

00:24:45.740 That is real. If it is the case, and again, I haven't read this NCRI study. I don't know if it's

00:24:52.420 legit. I don't know if it's not legit. I don't know if it's somewhat legit. If it is the case that

00:24:57.880 there is a serious foreign interference op right now, that is all the more reason to take seriously 0.69

00:25:03.640 that there are real fissures on the right. They have to be hashed out. This is urgent. This is

00:25:08.880 urgent, especially as we get to the midterms and most especially when we look at 2028 because of

00:25:14.260 what we were talking about at the top of the show, which is that American politics for 10 years has

00:25:17.980 been about one thing, five letters, Trump. That's what it's been about. Trump is about to exit the stage.

00:25:25.060 That is also why people are taking advantage right now. The fact that Charlie Kirk was assassinated

00:25:30.460 is also why people are taking advantage right now to exacerbate these divisions, to try to,

00:25:34.880 in many ways, to try to undermine Trump, but to undermine this whole conservative coalition.

00:25:38.880 It's jockeying for power. Okay, and that is going to be hashed out. And we can say, no,

00:25:46.620 it's not real. La, la, la, la, la. You can't, but give me a break.

00:25:49.440 I will not, that will not redound to, to the benefit of the people who are ignoring it. Okay.

00:25:54.820 Speaking of live streamers, a gunman supposedly, reportedly, I should say, opened fire at Tim

00:26:00.800 Poole's house. Not the first time Tim has been targeted with violence. We'll get into that in a

00:26:04.720 second. First, I want to tell you about ExpressVPN. Go to expressvpn.com slash Knowles. This episode

00:26:11.040 is sponsored by ExpressVPN. You remember the promise of the internet back in the 90s?

00:26:15.340 It was going to be this free open space where everyone was equal and no government was going

00:26:20.300 to totally control every aspect of your behavior. Corporations weren't going to manipulate it. And

00:26:25.740 well, how'd that turn out? Not very well. Big tech and advertisers have taken over. Companies

00:26:30.660 like Facebook are not just running ads. They're controlling what you see to influence how you

00:26:34.680 think and how you vote. The internet was going to put you in control, give you the freedom to learn

00:26:39.200 and explore on your own terms. Well, here's some good news. There is a way to take back that control.

00:26:43.920 Reclaim that sense of freedom with ExpressVPN. Every time you go online,

00:26:48.720 your internet provider is tracking everything you do, selling those data to advertisers and even

00:26:52.860 government agencies. It is unsettling how much we're being watched and manipulated.

00:26:57.140 That's one of many reasons to use ExpressVPN. Routs all your traffic through encrypted servers

00:27:01.400 so no one can see what you're doing, not even your ISP. I love it. I've used ExpressVPN for like

00:27:07.440 eight or nine years now. It's terrific. No logs policy. They couldn't give away or sell your

00:27:14.140 information even if they wanted to, and they don't want to. They want to protect it. Right now,

00:27:17.740 you can get up to four extra months. If you go to expressvpn.com slash Knowles,

00:27:26.160 Now, folks, in this episode of Michael and the Sharia Survivor, I sit down with author and human

00:27:30.640 rights activist Sabatina James to hear her extraordinary and harrowing story.

00:27:34.300 From being promised to marry her cousin as an infant to escaping a forced marriage to

00:27:38.280 surviving the threat of an honor-based death sentence under Sharia, Sabatina opens up about

00:27:42.560 the brutality she faced and how she found freedom, Christianity, and a new mission to rescue others

00:27:46.840 still trapped in that system. Watch this quick teaser.

00:27:54.080 I was born in a little village in Pakistan. In my case, I was promised to my cousin when I was born.

00:28:01.720 There in that living room of my parents, my mother and my father, and a Muslim scholarly person,

00:28:09.580 and my cousin from Pakistan, they had invited him to come over. And you know how they did that?

00:28:15.420 They adopted him as their son.

00:28:18.220 To get around the immigration. 1.00

00:28:19.540 Yes. So he was adopted. The Muslim scholar, he folded his hands, said, you know what happens

00:28:27.520 in Islam when you leave the religion. And I knew what happened. It's the death penalty. 1.00

00:28:31.840 Normally, you get three days. That's Sharia law. You get three days. 0.97

00:28:36.900 To recant. 0.64

00:28:37.900 It's torturing the convert so that he can become Muslim again. 1.00

00:28:41.460 And if they don't, then you kill them. 0.99

00:28:43.920 Please don't let us do what we have to do otherwise. 0.97

00:29:07.220 Someone's apparently trying to shoot Tim Poole.

00:29:09.080 Tim reported this a couple days ago.

00:29:11.420 Last night, a vehicle approached our property and opened fire.

00:29:14.280 No one was hurt.

00:29:16.240 Our security team is reviewing the incident and will be relaying the report to appropriate law

00:29:20.380 enforcement. This is the price we pay for speaking out against evil.

00:29:24.460 My immediate thoughts is someone was trying to scare us, but we have a security gate and

00:29:27.940 armed guards, and it's possible this deterred something more serious.

00:29:32.640 Scary stuff. I know that Tim has been SWATed before. That's when people call in a fake police

00:29:38.740 report and get the SWAT team out there. And to SWAT someone is really attempted murder.

00:29:44.260 It's attempted murder by cop. When you, when you file a false, false police report and you get

00:29:49.680 people in there, you know, maybe just kick in the door, start shooting. So I know that's happened

00:29:54.540 to Tim before. And this incident sounds like it was just some lunatic comes up and starts shooting. 0.56

00:30:01.000 Why Tim? Because a lot of people are asking, why Tim? Why does this keep happening to him?

00:30:06.100 One, there's a geographic reason because he lives in the middle of nowhere.

00:30:09.380 So when I do, you know, I love doing Tim's show, but it's kind of annoying to get to because you have

00:30:13.840 to fly into DC and you have to drive like 150 hours into the Hills Have Eyes, you know, into the boonies

00:30:19.640 to get to his compound. So what that means is there aren't a ton of security cameras everywhere.

00:30:25.200 What that means is there aren't a ton of cops everywhere. It makes him a little bit of an

00:30:28.560 easier target. But I don't think that's all of it. Because the question, why are people shooting

00:30:34.080 at Tim Pool is similar to the question, why did a leftist murder Charlie Kirk? Why? Why target Charlie?

00:30:46.380 A lot of, when, when Charlie was murdered, a lot of us start, look, we've, we've all had death threats.

00:30:51.260 We've all had death threats from the, a similar profile. You know, if, I mean, obviously, I guess

00:30:56.380 the investigation is still going on or the prosecution of, of Charlie's alleged murderer,

00:31:00.520 but, you know, he certainly fits the profile. Politically leftist, into a bunch of weird sex 0.99

00:31:07.260 stuff, radicalized online. That is the, that is the type of person that has threatened to kill a lot 0.97

00:31:12.900 of us before. And in some cases has tried to. Why Charlie? He was the most moderate of all of us.

00:31:21.260 That was what a lot of people said. Why Charlie? He was the mainstream one. He was the nice one.

00:31:25.140 He was the one who just wanted to talk it out. Why don't they go generally after the more provocative,

00:31:30.740 angrier kind of guys? And it seems to me it's because Charlie was very, very effective.

00:31:37.700 It was because Charlie was able to hold together a coalition. He wasn't always just picking fights

00:31:42.800 at people and trying to be a shock jock and stir the pot. You know, he, Charlie was actually

00:31:46.480 building something and he built something very, very impressive. That was a real threat.

00:31:51.260 To the left's political hegemony. He got, I mean, Susie Wiles, the chief of staff to the

00:31:56.600 president said that Charlie made the winning difference in 2024. I think that's why they

00:32:02.360 go after people like Charlie and in a different way, in his own way, Tim Poole is the same way

00:32:07.360 because Tim is not some rock ribbed right wing conservative. He's not some Catholic integralist

00:32:12.100 or something like that. You know, Tim was on the left and now he's kind of center, right.

00:32:16.780 And he brings on people who have some liberal views and people, a lot of people who have

00:32:21.520 conservative views and he kind of hashes it out. And he speaks to people who are much more in the

00:32:26.460 liberal, some people who are a little bit more on the left. The fact that, look, Charlie was a

00:32:33.880 conservative through and through. He was, I think, I used to say he was bred in a Petri dish at the RNC.

00:32:39.380 He was really built, tailor made for Republican politics. Tim is not that way. And I think that's

00:32:46.340 a little jarring for a lot of us. They were, they did achieve some similar ends, but that's a little

00:32:53.160 jarring because what that means is it's really anyone in politics now. It's really anyone in

00:33:00.040 politics as a target. The, you know, occasionally you get one of the really extreme guys, he'll be

00:33:07.200 targeted. But, you know, like Richard Spencer gets punched in the face. Remember that seven,

00:33:11.620 eight years ago, Richard Spencer comes out. Yes, I am a white nationalist, just identitarian.

00:33:16.520 Someone punches him in the face. And then the establishment media cheered that on.

00:33:19.920 Cheering on political violence, probably one of the ways we ended up in the situation we're in.

00:33:23.920 President Trump, very nearly murdered. And then there was another attempt on his life.

00:33:29.780 Charlie, obviously successfully murdered. Tim Poole, shots at his house. Could be anyone. Why?

00:33:37.200 The reason that just about anyone in politics, and especially the effective people, are being

00:33:41.180 targeted is because the whole political order is now seen as untrustworthy. Part of the reason that

00:33:47.680 you're seeing the festering of a lot of much more extreme views or in alternately kind of conspiracy

00:33:54.480 theory views, you can't trust anything, a neo-gnostic understanding of politics that everything you see

00:34:00.600 isn't real. And you actually need to be initiated into the secret knowledge. And then you'll understand

00:34:05.640 how the political order really works, totally contrary to everything that your senses tell you.

00:34:10.340 The reason there's a rise in that is totally understandable. It's that the whole political

00:34:15.240 order is seen as untrustworthy. It doesn't mean that the whole political order is untrustworthy.

00:34:20.020 It can be the case that there are very bad people in the political order, like Dr. Fauci.

00:34:24.340 And there are very good people in the political order. And they're kind of duking it out. And they're

00:34:27.600 wrestling for control. And it's a little bit more normal than some would have you believe.

00:34:31.240 But it is certainly the case. The whole thing is seen as untrustworthy. And so these are the

00:34:35.800 problems you're going to get. And it's going to get worse. It's like the old line about the

00:34:41.480 conservative optimist and the conservative pessimist. The conservative pessimist says

00:34:45.440 things can't get worse. The conservative optimist says, yes, they can. They can. And they will.

00:34:50.940 The notion that a centrist live streamer in a beanie is having his house shot up on the reg,

00:34:57.820 the notion that Charlie Kirk could be murdered for discussing basic stuff in a respectful way at a

00:35:04.600 college campus, that bodes very, very poorly for the political order. And you are going to see the

00:35:11.220 rise of very bad stuff. Real extremes. Senator Jasmine Crockett is on the table. You will, to quote

00:35:20.220 Nikola Tesla, to paraphrase him at least, you will live to see horrors beyond your wildest imagination.

00:35:26.920 How's that? How's that for a happy note? Look, we got more to get to because there is some good

00:35:32.080 news. There is some good news in the admission of horror. And we're getting that out of the

00:35:35.500 transgender industry. This holiday season, take me with you. Download the Daily Wire Plus app right

00:35:56.700 comment yesterday. It's from Falcon Library, who says, don't you remember those brave Somalis at the

00:36:01.360 Alamo? Bramila Jayapal's line. Somalis built America. Oh, yes, of course. You remember, I think it was 1.00

00:36:10.500 Mogatu Ahmed Bogadishu, who famously said at Bunker Hill, don't shoot till you see the whites of their eyes.

00:36:17.460 Don't shoot till you see the whites of their eyes. Gushy, gushy, gushy, Han Solo. I remember that

00:36:25.400 line, certainly. My second favorite comment yesterday was from someone who said, Somalians

00:36:29.600 built America. Somalians didn't even build Somalia. It's not a country, Somalia. It hasn't 0.99

00:36:36.040 been a country in like 34 years. Yeah. But they built America, didn't they? They came on the

00:36:42.300 Mayflower. Don't you remember that line of the Mayflower Compact? Gushy, gushy, gushy. Okay, speaking of our

00:36:51.460 untrustworthy political order, WPATH. WPATH is the professional, supposedly professional association

00:36:59.260 for transgender health. And it is this organization that is the source of a lot of citations for the

00:37:07.260 pro-trans stuff in scientific literature and in governments. And WPATH is totally bogus. It is a

00:37:16.720 bogus, political, ideological activist organization that psyoped people into believing in transgenderism. 0.99

00:37:25.960 So you'd have these doctors come out and say, hey, we got to chop your kids' genitals off. 1.00

00:37:30.540 Or what? And then the pro-trans lobby said, no one's actually chopping kids' genitals off. We'll get to 0.99

00:37:35.040 that in a moment. They say, hey, we need to put your kid in affirmation therapy. And you got to

00:37:39.260 call your kid by the wrong pronouns. And you got to put your kid maybe on puberty blockers. And then

00:37:42.720 maybe later on hormones. And then once he's an adult, maybe we can chop his genitals off. 1.00

00:37:46.780 And the parents would say, you sure? They say, yeah, if you don't do that, he's going to kill 1.00

00:37:50.080 himself. Would you rather have a living daughter or a dead son? And then they would say, you sure?

00:37:54.620 That seems kind of, I don't, that doesn't seem right to me. They say, no, it's in the science.

00:37:58.460 Look at the science. Look at the citations. And then when you look at the citations,

00:38:01.400 it's this organization, WPATH. WPATH, which previously argued that they're not actually

00:38:06.440 performing the transgender surgeries on little kids. It was all fake. This is all just totally 1.00

00:38:11.340 settled science. Well, anyway, the free press has uncovered some clips, some footage from WPATH

00:38:17.600 in which WPATH is admitting, yeah, you know what? Actually, I know we said otherwise, but yeah,

00:38:25.000 we're performing the trans surgeries on kids. 0.99

00:38:26.880 We are doing procedures here where we don't have outcome data. So for a vaginoplasty, for

00:38:35.620 a phalloplasty, there is long-term outcome data of what the pros, the cons, the psychological

00:38:40.460 impact, the sexual functioning impact is. For these newer procedures, we don't have that

00:38:44.800 outcome. So unless you want to go to individual ethics boards in each hospital to get ethics

00:38:50.780 permission to do those surgeries because they're on the edge of the field of medicine, you need

00:38:57.140 to have a mechanism around you to support you. Otherwise, you could be vulnerable.

00:39:00.120 Because I feel like we're all just winging it, you know, and which is okay. You're winging

00:39:06.160 it too. But maybe we can just like wing it together, you know, like publicly in a space

00:39:11.800 where we can share the ideas of how we're winging it.

00:39:14.560 So not only do they admit, I encourage you all to check out the excellent article from

00:39:23.060 the pre-press. We're all just winging it, what the gender doctors say in private and footage

00:39:26.300 obtained exclusively by the pre-press. Gender doctors acknowledge they perform life-altering 1.00

00:39:29.240 procedures on vulnerable youth with no supportive evidence, and they're proud of it. Not only are 1.00

00:39:35.060 they saying, yeah, these young people are having this stuff done. They're coming out, they're

00:39:38.360 saying we don't have any evidence that it works. And actually, as I've mentioned before

00:39:42.680 in debates and speeches, in 2019, we got the largest data set ever on the transgender procedures,

00:39:50.880 surgical and hormonal. And there was an analysis that looked at the outcomes. Did it improve

00:39:58.080 anxiety, depression, suicidality? Largest data set we have on this showed there is no evidence

00:40:04.140 that it improved the outcomes on any of those fronts. Furthermore, there is evidence that the

00:40:09.480 trans procedures made anxiety worse. It actually left the patients worse off than they were before 0.87

00:40:15.140 they started. So there's no evidence that any of this stuff works. And previously, when a conservative

00:40:21.260 would say that, the Libs would say, no, well, you got to look at the science. You got to look at the

00:40:25.660 science. Point to the science. And when they talk about the science, they're talking about WPATH.

00:40:30.280 They're talking about the most prominent pro-trans organization in the world. What does WPATH say?

00:40:34.560 We are doing procedures here where we don't have outcome data. So unless you want to go to individual

00:40:40.200 ethics boards in each hospital to get ethics permission to do those surgeries because they're

00:40:43.180 on the edge of the field of medicine, which they obviously should do. That's why ethics boards exist

00:40:47.740 in the first place. But you obviously should, they say, look, well, look, unless we want to have to like

00:40:52.600 deal with ethics, we need to have a mechanism to support you. Otherwise, you can't do these ridiculous

00:40:58.860 procedures that have no evidence for them. Then another member stands up, says, I feel like we're

00:41:04.940 all just winging it, you know? And then what? The doctor's on the panel and he goes, yeah. He raises

00:41:09.320 his hands. Uh-huh. Yeah, that's right. We're winging it. I feel like we're winging it, which is okay.

00:41:14.360 You're winging it too. And maybe we can just like wing it together. This article, it goes on to talk

00:41:19.380 about nullification surgery for teenagers. You know what nullification surgery is? It's when a teenager

00:41:24.320 comes, an 18-year-old comes in and says, I'm asexual. I'm not transsexual. I'm not pansexual.

00:41:28.680 I'm not the opposite sex. I'm not, I'm asexual. And I want you to cut off my genitals and not 1.00

00:41:34.700 replace them with anything. Not even create the simulacrum of the opposite sex's genitals. 1.00

00:41:38.440 Just, I want to look like a Barbie doll. And they'll do it. The winging it doctors will do it. 0.97

00:41:46.520 The winging it doctors who don't talk to the ethics boards, they'll do it. 1.00

00:41:51.000 I mention all of this not to rehash the trans issue. We won the trans issue. That's yesterday's

00:41:55.800 news. It was good. Took a long time to win it. You know, some of us were

00:41:58.520 fighting that issue for a long time. Matt Walsh made a whole movie about it.

00:42:03.180 But the reason I bring it up is the same reason I brought up, I bring up the COVID backs. The

00:42:09.540 whole reason I bring up a lot of these issues that seemed like they were settled five years ago.

00:42:14.020 Because you never get credit for being right. You were right. You were right about transgenderism. 1.00

00:42:20.560 You were right about the whole thing. You. Not just me. Not just Matt Walsh. Not just some other

00:42:28.040 podcaster or writer or thinker. Not just you were right. Because you knew that it was fake.

00:42:34.360 You knew it was ridiculous. You knew it didn't really help people. You knew it had to be eradicated 0.92

00:42:39.580 from public life entirely. You knew that they were performing the trans surgeries on young people. 1.00

00:42:44.200 You knew that there was no evidence for it. You knew that the supposedly scientific institutions

00:42:49.760 that were always being cited were full of it. And you were called an idiot the whole time. 1.00

00:42:55.040 And you were right about everything. You were right about everything. Okay. 1.00

00:43:00.700 Okay. Real important stuff going on, folks. Speaking of medicine. The HHS is getting rid

00:43:08.100 of the hep B vaccine for newborns. There's this thing now. The HHS, the government's been trying

00:43:14.220 to get you to shoot up your newborn with a hepatitis B vaccine. I remember I said, hey, you know,

00:43:17.480 I don't think my newborn is going to go hit any brothels or like shoot up heroin anytime soon. 0.75

00:43:21.620 Why does he need a hep B vaccine? And the actual answer was, well, she tells my wife, well,

00:43:27.460 actually, I mean, your husband might've cheated on you. Excuse me?

00:43:31.160 What? Hold on. What? Yeah. Well, we mandate it for all children or we recommend it for all

00:43:37.680 children in America because you never know if your husband is an adulterer. What? So we'll get to

00:43:44.620 that. They just flipped on that. A marvelous presidential message yesterday on the Feast of

00:43:48.480 the Immaculate Conception. Huge, huge Supreme Court arguments over potentially expanding

00:43:54.900 presidential power, which would be a good thing. The liberals and the libertarians totally wrong on 0.97

00:43:58.200 that. And the Islamic Society of Philly wants to chop off your body parts. There's so much I want 0.99

00:44:02.120 to talk about. Why can't this show be twice as long? Why? Why does the Daily Wire demand that I

00:44:09.200 truncate my show and limit my remarks? I'm furious about it, but I have to go. I have to go to the

00:44:16.360 member of Segmentum because it's Tee Hee Hee Tuesday. The rest of the show continues now. Such a tease.

00:44:22.260 We'll talk about those stories tomorrow, maybe. Go to dailywire.com, use code NOLS, get two months

00:44:25.980 free on all annual plans.

00:44:40.980 All of this is an illusion. An echo of a voice that has died. And soon that echo will cease.

00:44:55.980 They say that Merlin is mad. They say he was a king in Dovid, the son of a princess of

00:45:12.680 lost Atlantis. They say the future and the past are known to him. That the fire and the wind

00:45:20.980 tell him their secrets. That the magic of the hillfolk and druids come forth at his easy command.

00:45:29.460 They say he slew hundreds. Hundreds, do you hear? That the world burned and trembled at his wrath.

00:45:41.620 The Merlin died long before you and I were born.

00:45:45.380 Merlin is gone. Rome is gone. The Saxon is here. 0.97

00:45:58.100 The Saxon Hengist has assembled the greatest war host ever seen in the Island of the Mighty. And before the summer is through, he means to take the throne. 0.99

00:46:06.860 And he will have it. If we are too busy squabbling amongst ourselves to take up arms against him, here is

00:46:15.340 your hope. A king will arise to hold all Britain in his hand. A high king. He will be the wonder of the world.

00:46:22.700 You. To a future of peace.

00:46:31.500 There'll be no peace in these lands till we are all dust.

00:46:34.220 Men of the Island of the Mighty, you stand together. You stand as Britons. You stand as one.

00:46:44.060 A great darkness is falling upon this land. These brothers are our only hope to stand against it.

00:46:55.980 Not our only hope.

00:46:58.460 They say Merlin slew 70 men with his own hands.

00:47:02.620 And Gathay, he slew 500.

00:47:07.100 No man is capable of such a thing.

00:47:09.740 No mortal man.

00:47:14.940 A 50-year-old man.

00:47:15.780 Sلم.
