00:00:30.000 Jimmy Kimmel is facing renewed calls for his firing after airing a fake White House 1.00
00:00:35.260 Correspondents Dinner segment joking about the death of President Trump. Is this right-wing
00:00:41.160 cancel culture? It absolutely is, and I'm here for it. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:01:00.000 Welcome back to the show.
00:01:07.640 You can tell the Dems have learned so much since the most recent leftist shooting trying to kill Republicans.
00:01:14.480 They've learned so much that they've taken to CNN like J.B. Pritzker, the governor of Illinois, a top Democrat presidential candidate, goes on TV and says, yes, I do compare Trump to Hitler.
00:01:24.980 Yes, I've learned nothing.
00:01:26.840 I change nothing about my rhetoric.
00:01:29.180 We'll get to that.
00:01:29.860 and how we should respond to that in a second.
00:01:31.800 First, though, I want to tell you about Cardiff.
00:01:33.500 Go to cardiff.co slash Knowles.
00:01:36.460 Small business is very important.
00:01:37.960 I'm a small business owner myself.
00:01:39.980 I have multiple businesses,
00:01:42.000 but one in particular that I love very much.
00:01:44.360 There are more than 36 million small businesses in America.
00:01:47.220 Over 70% of them need more capital
00:01:49.020 just to keep things moving each year.
00:01:50.380 The irony, business is booming,
00:01:52.300 revenues at record highs,
00:01:53.640 and yet the big banks are clamping down harder than ever,
00:01:56.220 dragging their feet with miles of paperwork
00:01:57.880 and approval processes that take weeks, sometimes months.
00:02:01.180 It's a perfect example of how our financial system
00:02:03.140 talks big game about supporting entrepreneurs,
00:02:05.440 but rarely makes it easy for them to succeed.
00:02:07.540 If you want bank rates without the bank delays,
00:02:09.660 you need to check out cardiff.co slash Knowles,
00:02:12.360 K-N-A-W-L-E-S, for up to $500,000 in same-day funding.
00:02:16.080 Cardiff is the largest privately held
00:02:17.540 small business lender in America,
00:02:19.260 having already funded more than $12 billion since 2004.
00:02:22.380 Their process is fast, simple, and respectful of your time.
00:02:26.440 Five minutes to apply, zero hit to your personal credit,
00:02:28.820 and approval that can happen in minutes.
00:02:30.500 Do you need capital today?
00:02:31.560 Cardiff can get it done same day.
00:02:33.780 No wonder they are voted America's favorite small business lender,
00:02:38.000 two years running.
00:02:39.540 Banks try to lock out small businesses.
00:02:41.300 Cardiff has the key.
00:02:41.980 Big banks may not want to approve your business loans, but Cardiff does.
00:02:44.880 If you've been in business for at least a year
00:02:46.340 and are pulling in $20,000 a month in revenue,
00:02:48.620 apply now for half a million bucks in same-day funding at cardiff.co.nolls.
00:02:53.240 That is cardiff.co.nolls.
00:02:54.820 real growth, fast funding Cardiff, borrow better. So just before the White House Correspondents
00:03:01.320 Dinner, when a leftist California teacher who donated to Kamala Harris, who's part of all
00:03:06.860 sorts of left-wing groups, just before he went with a shotgun into the Washington Hilton,
00:03:12.320 tried to kill the president and as much of the Trump administration and his supporters as he
00:03:16.680 could, just before that, Jimmy Kimmel aired a fake White House Correspondents segment in which he
00:03:23.020 joked about the death of the president. Our First Lady Melania is here. Look at Melania, 0.91
00:03:28.380 so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.
00:03:33.560 A glow like an expected widow. Ha ha ha. And it's using footage from, I think,
00:03:37.740 the State of the Union address. He's trying to piece it together to pretend as if he were
00:03:42.760 addressing the White House Correspondents' Dinner. And in response to this, Melania Trump came out
00:03:47.240 and said, this guy should be fired. So the First Lady posts, Kimmel's hateful and violent 1.00
00:03:52.820 rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family is not comedy.
00:03:58.180 His words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.
00:04:02.200 People like Kimmel should not have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate.
00:04:06.600 A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to 0.88
00:04:10.500 protect him. Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC's 0.97
00:04:18.120 leadership enable Kimmel's atrocious behavior at the expense of our community. So this is cancel
00:04:23.220 culture, right? This is right-wing cancel culture. The right spent years invading against left-wing
00:04:31.740 cancel culture, but now that hypocritical right, they're calling for a cancel culture of their own,
00:04:38.800 right? You're going to hear a lot of conservatives twist themselves into pretzels
00:04:43.300 to argue that this is not cancel culture. They'll say, no, this is different because,
00:04:48.260 and they'll name all sorts of extenuating circumstances. But let's just be blunt about
00:04:52.380 it. Can we be honest, please? What the first lady is calling for is cancel culture.
00:04:59.220 And that's good. I love it. I'm here for it. I've been one of the few conservatives, 1.00
00:05:06.080 maybe the only conservative, but certainly one of the few conservatives who has been calling for
00:05:10.620 precisely this kind of thing, a right-wing cancel culture for years now. And I think some people on
00:05:17.320 the right are getting the message. This is important. Right-wing cancel culture is not
00:05:22.260 the same thing as left-wing cancel culture. Left-wing cancel culture was when you would
00:05:25.560 lose your job, be kicked out of school for saying that a man can't really be a woman.
00:05:29.880 That was left-wing cancel culture. In other words, you would be canceled for telling the truth.
00:05:34.300 In this case, the right-wing cancel culture says you're not allowed to go out, especially on public
00:05:40.540 airwaves that are regulated by the government for a reason. You're not allowed to go out and
00:05:44.860 encourage political violence. Make light of political violence and specifically the political
00:05:50.300 violence that is occurring right now. That's the right-wing cancel culture that you see
00:05:55.860 bubbling up a little bit in the First Lady's comment. President Trump followed up. He said 1.00
00:06:00.760 much the same thing. And some on the right are backing it. And I think we should back the First
00:06:06.080 lady on this. I think this is exactly right. And what you have to understand in order to
00:06:12.680 defend these calls for Jimmy Kimmel's firing, Jimmy Kimmel should have been fired long ago.
00:06:17.460 He survived his last kerfuffle and kept his show, but he should not keep his show this time.
00:06:24.020 What you need to accept is that not everything can or should be debated. That's the point.
00:06:33.240 A lot of what the right has said for the last 10 years, a lot of friends of mine have said,
00:06:37.420 is that we need to debate everything. And the answer to bad speech is more speech. And that
00:06:41.500 way the true ideas are going to win out in the free marketplace of ideas, which is a liberal
00:06:45.480 premise, which always had guardrails on it, by the way, for all of American history. But the left in
00:06:50.220 the middle of the 20th century took it to an extreme, twisted it. They had the free speech
00:06:54.100 movement at Berkeley and associated groups. And they argued that we just need no guardrails on
00:06:58.300 speech whatsoever. And conservatives got duped and we went along with it. Now they never really
00:07:03.240 meant it on the left because the minute that they got power, they immediately inserted guardrails
00:07:07.660 of their own, which were intended to exclude truth, beauty, goodness, like all the things
00:07:14.040 we want in society to punish those things and to exalt their own degeneracy. But all societies need
00:07:20.920 guardrails, of course. And what we have to accept is that not everything can or should be debated.
00:07:26.920 A prime example of this occurred during the state of, sorry, during the correspondence dinner.
00:07:33.140 One of the worst things about what happened at the correspondence dinner, my mind went to it
00:07:38.020 immediately. Even before there were any videos going around, which I'm not going to share because
00:07:41.900 they should not be shared, I thought, oh no, Erica Kirk is at the correspondence dinner.
00:07:46.920 And so what must be going through her mind? Before there were any pictures of her, before,
00:07:51.920 you know, I'm going to be doing an event that Erica invited me to today with Matt Walsh. It's
00:07:57.680 going to be at Idaho. If you're in the neighborhood, come on out. It's going to be a great TPUSA event.
00:08:01.460 But my mind went to Erica immediately and I said, this is so awful because she's experienced a major
00:08:09.140 trauma and she has to relive it because there are bullets being fired. And of course, immediately
00:08:14.900 people start attacking her. All these sort of anonymous and some not anonymous people on social
00:08:20.520 media, start attacking her again over the White House Correspondents Dinner. And I said,
00:08:26.040 as I've said from the beginning, that's not the sort of thing that can be debated.
00:08:30.960 There's no debate there. No, actually, we shouldn't harass widows. No, actually, 0.78
00:08:35.540 don't you see? No, I'm going to convince you in the free marketplace of ideas, I'm going to
00:08:38.780 convince you that it's actually not good to harass. There's no debate to be had there.
00:08:43.720 There's no debate. Another example, we're talking about Hassan Piker yesterday. Hassan Piker calls
00:08:47.700 for the murder of GOP senators.
00:08:49.340 There's no debate to be had there.
00:08:51.380 There's no, no, actually,
00:08:52.200 we shouldn't murder senators.
00:08:54.240 No, let me, in the free marketplace of ideas,
00:08:56.040 let me use my facts and logic
00:08:57.160 to convince you that we shouldn't murder our senators
00:08:58.780 or murder the president.
00:08:59.640 There's no debate to be had there.
00:09:01.980 You're not going to win that in the field of debate.
00:09:04.600 And by engaging in debate,
00:09:07.240 you're granting a legitimacy
00:09:09.240 to these sorts of premises 1.00
00:09:10.740 that we should torment widows 1.00
00:09:12.520 or we should murder senators 1.00
00:09:13.660 or we should murder the president. 0.99
00:09:14.680 You're granting a legitimacy that is undue. 0.99
00:09:17.700 You are elevating people who should not be elevated.
00:09:20.440 You are taking ideas seriously that should not be taken seriously.
00:09:23.940 The way to deal with these sorts of things is precisely what Melania Trump is calling for,
00:09:28.420 what the president has backed up, and what we should all back up,
00:09:31.240 which is that the way to respond to people calling for violence,
00:09:34.780 making light of political violence, calling for the death of senators, what have you, 0.77
00:09:38.440 the way to respond to that is to fire them.
00:09:41.980 Then, when they cross the line into criminal territory, as Hassan Piker has,
00:09:45.380 you need to prosecute them.
00:09:47.280 Then when they cross the line into defamation, you need to sue them. You need to wield the force of the law and the culture because even beyond the law, you can ostracize people. You can refuse to platform people. You can refuse to elevate these ideas up into fodder for debate.
00:10:03.600 you need to bring the weight of taboo down upon these people to exclude certain ideas from the
00:10:10.340 conversation. This is a point I've made many times over the years. It comes from a line of
00:10:13.700 G.K. Chesterton, which is that there is a thought that stops thought, and that is the thought that
00:10:17.440 ought to be stopped. It's a line from William F. Buckley Jr. when he was debating this very issue
00:10:21.660 on Firing Line. He said he was an epistemological optimist in that he thought we can make exclusions.
00:10:26.960 We don't need to debate Nazis. We don't need to debate communists. We can just exclude them and
00:10:31.180 ideally prosecute them. That is the idea. That's a deeply conservative idea. It's very offensive
00:10:36.280 to classical liberals. And it's kind of funny because classical liberals also want the actual
00:10:40.820 classical liberals actually did want to exclude lots of bad people and bad ideas. But what passes
00:10:45.500 for classical liberalism today, what passes for libertarianism, it doesn't understand that a
00:10:51.640 society needs to just say no sometimes. And so the question is, do we have the guts to do it?
00:10:57.100 do we have the guts to fire jimmy kimmel that's what this is coming down to do we have the guts
00:11:03.580 to say no we don't actually need to take these ideas seriously we don't need to elevate the
00:11:09.180 ravings of lunatics of violent people of those who would undermine our whole political order we
00:11:13.780 don't need to take that seriously we can just fire it ostracize it prosecute it sue it we can 0.74
00:11:21.800 we can behave, in other words, as if we really do believe things, that we can come to conclusions,
00:11:27.600 and therefore we can make exclusions from our society. The Kimmel issue is a great test of
00:11:33.020 whether or not the American right has the intellectual architecture anymore or the courage
00:11:39.900 to just do that. Do we have the courage to do that? Do we have the courage to have
00:11:46.680 a cancel culture? A culture in this case that would cancel legitimately bad things that are
00:11:52.940 beyond the pale, that we don't need to debate, that we don't need to have all sorts of long
00:11:57.820 conversations or podcasts or network television shows about. Can we just say no? That's a two
00:12:03.780 letter word that is so beautiful on the right and we've lost it because we've been infected
00:12:07.740 by the spirit of liberalism that has tended toward libertinism. Do we have the ability
00:12:12.800 to do that. Because there's a cancel culture today. Even after we got rid of the woke cancel
00:12:18.680 culture, there's a new cancel culture that the left has replaced it with. And they're trying
00:12:22.200 to cancel us with bullets. And they're being encouraged in doing so by major media figures
00:12:28.120 on the left, by elected politicians on the left who say that Donald Trump and his supporters pose
00:12:33.500 an existential threat to the country. That was Joe Biden who said that. Who say that we need to push
00:12:38.280 back on Republicans in public. That was Maxine Waters who said that. Who said you can't be civil
00:12:41.600 with Republicans. That was Hillary Clinton who said that. Do we have the courage and the clarity 0.98
00:12:47.520 of vision to have a real cancel culture that just says, we're not platforming this stuff.
00:12:52.620 We're not going to take it seriously. We're going to exclude it. We're going to repress it.
00:12:56.300 We're going to put it out of mind for the common good. No, people are going to say that's
00:13:01.300 authoritarian. And so the problem will fester. Or we can fire Kimmel. We should fire Kimmel.
00:13:08.420 The left is feeling the heat.
00:13:09.740 Hakeem Jeffries, the Democrat leader in the House, is proving it.
00:13:12.240 First, though, I want to tell you about Keksi.
00:13:14.760 Go to keksi.com, K-E-K-S-I.com.
00:13:17.300 Mother's Day is coming up, folks, which means it's time to think about what you're actually going to get your mom or your wife.
00:13:22.980 That is not always easy.
00:13:24.100 Too many gifts end up feeling kind of generic and not heartfelt.
00:13:27.080 That is one reason I really love our sponsor, Keksi, which is a family-run bakery,
00:13:31.460 and they've put together a limited edition Mother's Day cookie box that is perfect for the woman in your life.
00:13:35.840 The other night, I'm sitting there.
00:13:37.260 I want to tell tales out of school.
00:13:38.420 I'm sitting, we put the kids in bed
00:13:40.160 and sweet little Elisa comes into the family room
00:13:43.360 and she's holding something.
00:13:45.020 A nice, gooey, delicious Kexi German chocolate cookie,
00:13:49.680 which is one of at least my five favorite cookies
00:13:52.680 from Kexi.
00:13:53.540 And I said, girl, you got that cookie?
00:13:55.160 I said, where's the rest of it?
00:13:56.180 They're like, there's no more.
00:13:57.600 Sorry.
00:13:58.480 She just ate it all because it's very good.
00:14:00.080 It's other than, you know,
00:14:01.540 I'm going to exclude the cookies that my wife,
00:14:03.600 my family, other than those,
00:14:05.480 it's the best cookie I've ever had.
00:14:07.480 Their limited edition Mother's Day cookies come already packed in beautiful Mother's Day themed box.
00:14:12.380 You're all good on wrapping.
00:14:13.360 Go to Keksi.com.
00:14:14.800 Grab your Mother's Day box while they are still available.
00:14:18.280 If you want to try anything else from their site, use code Knowles for 15% off, just not on the Mother's Day box.
00:14:23.180 That is Keksi, K-E-K-S-I, at Keksi.com.
00:14:27.160 Hakeem Jeffries, furious, furious in particular at the White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt,
00:14:32.300 who read out what the Democrats have said about political violence.
00:14:37.480 in such a way as to encourage their exclusion from political society.
00:14:42.520 Hakeem Jeffries, furious at what exactly? 1.00
00:14:46.780 Is that the so-called White House press secretary, who's a disgrace, he's a stone-cold liar, 0.99
00:14:53.880 had the nerve to stand up there and read talking points, being critical of statements, 0.98
00:15:01.720 all taken out of context that Democrats have made and didn't have a word to say.
00:15:07.480 about anything that MAGA extremists have said or done, including providing aid and comfort
00:15:15.020 to violent insurrectionists here at this Capitol on January 6th, who brutally beat police officers.
00:15:21.980 Wow, man, that is, it shows you how totally bankrupt the Dems are.
00:15:28.660 That's the best and only example the Dems can use to counter their own words. What did he say?
00:15:35.540 I can't believe the White House press secretary came up here, read talking points. 0.97
00:15:39.980 What do you think the press secretary does?
00:15:42.140 Do you think the White House press secretary engages in extemporary oratory?
00:15:48.500 I don't know.
00:15:48.760 What do you think?
00:15:49.420 Do you think she's giving a cooking class? 1.00
00:15:51.200 She reads talking points. 1.00
00:15:52.380 That's her job.
00:15:54.000 And these talking points, she had the audacity to read our words back to us.
00:16:00.460 That seems more than fair, buddy.
00:16:02.320 She's not even putting words in your mouth.
00:16:03.600 She's reading what you've said.
00:16:05.540 many, many times, including recently. Yeah, it's crazy because you know why it's crazy?
00:16:13.360 Because, drum roll please, because January 6th, that's the best you got. The best you got
00:16:23.620 is a contrived nonsense from five years ago, a political event at which the only person who was
00:16:29.520 murdered was a Trump supporter murdered by a trigger-happy cop. That's the best you got.
00:16:33.860 And then they said for years, the right wingers on January 6th, which was infiltrated by the FBI, probably, we can't prove it yet, probably funded by the SPLC, January 6th, where they told us for years that cops were killed by the right wingers, didn't happen, none of that was true, medical examiners contradicted all of that.
00:16:50.820 But even if it were true, which it isn't, that's the best you got, is a mob from five years ago, in some cases, being escorted around.
00:16:59.520 The Corn Hat guy getting a private door of the Capitol.
00:17:02.500 How dare, how dare the press secretary read our words back to us?
00:17:06.120 You can tell the left is feeling the heat here.
00:17:07.920 And the only reason they're feeling the heat, by the way, is because the right is finally speaking in terms of borders and standards and exclusions and consequences.
00:17:16.760 Because the right is saying Jimmy Kimmel needs to be fired.
00:17:19.740 Hassan Piker is a toxic personality who needs to be prosecuted and maybe deported back to the backwater that he was raised in.
00:17:28.440 Saying that the Democrat politicians who have associated with people like Hassan Piker need to be removed from office.
00:17:34.000 That's why he's feeling the heat.
00:17:36.100 He's not feeling the heat because we're just, we're going to engage in the free marketplace of ideas.
00:17:42.620 The point that I've made for the last eight months, I was making it before that, but you see it especially in the last eight months since Charlie was assassinated by leftists.
00:17:49.440 leftist, is we tried to have a free marketplace of ideas. No one did that more graciously and
00:17:56.200 more charitably than Charlie. And the left shot him for it. So you can't have a free marketplace
00:18:02.660 when the bandits keep shooting up the marketplace. The left is not going to stop. In case you thought
00:18:07.300 that the left had a sudden change of heart because of all the debates we've had. We've just had so
00:18:11.920 many debates. They've changed their mind. Here is a top presidential candidate for the Democrats,
00:18:16.800 governor of Illinois, J.B. Pritzker, on CNN, asked about his extreme rhetoric against Republicans,
00:18:23.800 which justifies the assassination of Republicans, has he learned anything?
00:18:29.620 Some of your critics may point to what you said in the State of the State last year when you
00:18:33.640 compared the Trump administration to the rise of Nazis. What would you say to that?
00:18:39.360 Well, Manu, remember what I was talking about was the fact that a constitutional republic was torn
00:18:44.700 apart in 53 days in Germany in the 1930s, and that we need to watch out for that in this country. 0.51
00:18:51.820 That is what I was talking about. And we've seen it. By the way, that speech was given in February 0.98
00:18:56.800 of 25. I think over the last year, much of what I said has been proven to be true, that the
00:19:02.460 institutions of this democracy are being attacked by the Republicans and by Donald Trump.
00:19:07.840 Excellent question from Manu here. Says, hey, you know, you've been calling this guy a Nazi,
00:19:13.360 So that justifies political violence against him.
00:19:16.480 So are you second-guessing your rhetoric now?
00:19:18.400 Do you take some responsibility?
00:19:20.020 And Pritzker's response is, no, he's a Nazi. 0.98
00:19:22.640 By the way, if Trump is a Nazi, that means that his supporters are Nazis, 0.92
00:19:25.960 which means that political violence against him and his supporters is totally justified. 0.72
00:19:31.560 So they're just not going to stop.
00:19:34.140 The only conclusion that large swaths of the mainstream left
00:19:38.380 drew from the foiled massacre attempt on Saturday night
00:19:42.980 is that they need to try a little harder next time.
00:19:46.560 This guy, the California school teacher, Kamala Harris donor, who tried to shoot it up,
00:19:52.240 he was just incompetent. 0.97
00:19:53.340 They just need to try harder because Trump's still a Nazi. 0.96
00:19:55.920 So what are we going to do about that?
00:19:58.600 Are we just going to debate more?
00:20:00.700 Are we just going to try to make them see our point of view?
00:20:04.240 Because we've got the logic on our side.
00:20:06.800 No, I'm all for debate.
00:20:08.440 Obviously, I'm all for conversations.
00:20:09.920 I'm a podcast host, for goodness sakes.
00:20:11.500 I'm a professional debater.
00:20:12.500 I do all the, I'm all for it within its proper limits, but certain things are simply beyond the
00:20:20.480 pale. And when you take them seriously as, as subjects for debate, you grant them a legitimacy
00:20:28.540 that they do not deserve. We should not be, we should not be debating Hassan Piker or Governor
00:20:33.920 Pritzker on this point. We should be ostracizing people. We should be firing people. We should,
00:20:40.160 we should have cancel culture obviously listen to chuck todd speaking of the mainstream journalists
00:20:45.300 learning nothing chuck todd from nbc explaining this is from chris saliza on x explaining why
00:20:53.060 he's not going to show up to events that trump is at anymore i'm not going to any more events
00:20:58.800 where trump's at him i don't feel safe wherever donald chaos follows him chaos follows him and
00:21:04.160 you are less safe right if you decide to go into his orbit you have put you have become less safe
00:21:09.340 If you he's just he does not care about your safety.
00:21:12.420 He's not going to protect you if you go into his orbit, because he's always going to protect
00:21:16.400 himself first.
00:21:17.280 He's more likely to throw you under the bus.
00:21:19.560 He's more likely to have you be the target of Iranian assassins if you're John Bolton
00:21:23.660 or Mike Pompeo.
00:21:24.500 And he's going to pull any sort of federal support.
00:21:27.280 Right.
00:21:27.840 You know, I think about when somebody using Donald Trump's words and actions targeted
00:21:33.060 me and a bunch of other members of the press.
00:21:35.960 You know who I didn't hear from?
00:21:37.280 Donald Trump.
00:21:38.080 Right.
00:21:38.240 So the guy doesn't care when people commit violence in his name.
00:21:43.080 Oh, do they?
00:21:43.640 He only cares when the violence is committed against him, and he does not see that he is a contributor to the atmospherics of the world we're living in, right?
00:21:53.220 Well, that's it.
00:21:54.160 That's it.
00:21:54.700 The three assassination attempts against the president, the successful assassination of Charlie Kirk, the countless violent actions against conservatives in public life, all of which have been encouraged by many elite liberals.
00:22:07.100 It's really all about Chuck Todd.
00:22:10.220 Because some unspecified rhetoric from Donald Trump allegedly inspired some unnamed, unknowable, I think, right-wingers to vaguely threaten Chuck Todd at some point that we don't know anything about.
00:22:27.360 That's what it's about.
00:22:29.120 It's all about Chuck Todd.
00:22:30.600 He's the real victim.
00:22:31.400 The liberals are the real victims here. 0.99
00:22:33.420 Trump just keeps making them try to kill him and us. 0.92
00:22:37.640 It's like, why did you make me do it? 0.99
00:22:39.160 Why did you make, that's what, this is what the domestic abuser says to his wife after he smacks
00:22:42.760 her. Why did you make me do that? It's just something about Trump, you know, chaos follows
00:22:48.880 him. Is that what we're calling it now? That chaos, is chaos the new euphemism for
00:22:55.180 left-wing terrorists? It's just chaos keeps following him. Chaos that donates to Democrats
00:23:02.440 like the Butler assassin. Chaos that donates to Kamala Harris, like the most recent would-be
00:23:07.620 assassin. Chaos just keeps falling. We just got to stop this chaos. We need chaos control.
00:23:13.420 But it's not chaos. The problem is not political violence generally. It's left-wing violence,
00:23:18.700 as even the Atlantic admits. The problem is not chaos. It's the left-wing assassins.
00:23:23.140 And it's not just lone wolf left-wing assassins. It's assassins who to this day, to this very
00:23:28.980 minute are being encouraged by very prominent left-wingers who I can name. It's not even just
00:23:35.560 general left-wingers. It's J.B. Pritzker. It's Hassan Piker. It's Hillary Clinton. It's Joe
00:23:41.200 Biden. It's Kamala Harris who bailed violent rioters out of prison, out of jail during BLM.
00:23:48.500 It's Maxine Waters. It's we could be here all day. That's the problem. And Chuck Todd has the
00:23:55.000 to me to say, you know, I'm not going to show up anymore. These left-wing terrorists, I mean,
00:23:59.100 sorry, this chaos is too much. I'm afraid for my life. You know, until they finally succeed 0.95
00:24:04.200 at murdering Trump. I mean, until Trump is out of office, I'm not going to show up anymore.
00:24:09.220 Yeah. Where's the chaos coming from? Chuck Todd is nervous that he might be caught with a stray
00:24:16.240 bullet when one of his own followers tries to murder the president again. I don't want to wait
00:24:19.900 for that. I don't want to wait for that. And I don't want Chuck Todd to be invited to follow
00:24:24.840 him either. I want these people. You have to be precise about it. You have to be judicious about
00:24:31.220 it. Can't exclude half the country, but you can exclude the people who go beyond the pale. 0.99
00:24:36.140 You can. We've done that for most of American history. We can do it. 1.00
00:24:40.100 You want to talk about chaos? Beyond the realm of speech, let's get to the realm of
00:24:43.680 violence again. There's obviously a nexus between speech and violence.
00:24:48.280 But if you look in New York, in a lot of Democrat cities,
00:24:53.740 people are suffering the consequences of the chaos that has been bred by leftists,
00:24:59.400 including this bodega owner who was just killed because of crime that has been encouraged by the left.
00:25:06.300 The bodega owner was on television a year ago, openly fearful that this sort of thing would happen.
00:25:13.400 We will get to totally expected consequences.
00:25:16.580 First, though, I want to tell you about Toothpillow. Go to Toothpillow.com. Use code Knowles.
00:25:20.940 We've started calling dysfunction normal, even in our kids. Narrow faces, crooked teeth,
00:25:25.300 receding chins, mouth breathing. The list goes on. No one seems to ask why. Here's the truth.
00:25:29.260 When a child's palate doesn't grow properly, their airway cannot develop as it should.
00:25:33.180 Breathing becomes a struggle. The signs are all around us. Snoring, restless sleep, poor focus,
00:25:37.700 constant congestion, teeth grinding. Does that sound familiar? That's because most adults still
00:25:41.440 live with it too. That is where our sponsor, Toothpillow, is here to help. And I actually,
00:25:45.520 I got to vet this sponsor before they came on because Mr. Davies and his family have been using
00:25:51.700 Toothpillow for years. He says this doctor-guided program made a huge difference in his kids' sleep
00:25:56.720 and smiles, and it's reassuring to have their expert support without constant office visits
00:26:01.020 because, obviously, I keep Mr. Davies constantly under the whip here, working all the time,
00:26:06.260 making a billion shows. He says the Davies family has sworn by it. Very, very exciting.
00:26:11.140 Tooth Pillow helps kids ages 3 to 12 guide natural jaw growth, encourage proper tongue posture, restore healthy nasal breathing.
00:26:19.440 Go to ToothPillow.com, use code Knowles to get your kid assessed for free.
00:26:23.000 ToothPillow.com, code Knowles.
00:26:25.400 This is so heartbreaking.
00:26:27.560 You can't call it tragic because tragedy is when a protagonist's flaws, the things that make him great, ultimately cause his demise.
00:26:37.480 That's what a tragedy is.
00:26:38.760 In this case, though, the victim is not being victimized by his own flaws.
00:26:44.460 He is being victimized by the perfectly observable threat of left-wing governance.
00:26:50.860 So here you have a bodega owner worrying openly, almost exactly one year ago, May 2025, on ABC7 in New York, about the threat posed by crime in the city.
00:27:00.840 himself spoke with eyewitness news a year ago saying he worried about violence against bodega
00:27:07.700 workers he'd seen on social media people got shot killed some sometimes got robbed and
00:27:13.540 never in the police never responds quick tonight the organization is wondering if the person who
00:27:19.200 shot abdul salah was someone who shouldn't have been on this it's always the ones you most expect
00:27:25.240 And notice who the victim is here. You hear Zohran Mamdani, all of these very left-wing
00:27:30.920 city politicians. They say, you know, we need to protect the immigrants. We need to protect the
00:27:37.240 working class, the minorities. And well, this guy, this victim checks all of those boxes.
00:27:43.640 And he was killed by the other people that Zohran Mamdani says that we need to protect,
00:27:48.220 namely the criminals. Because Zohran Mamdani has called for the abolition of police.
00:27:52.680 He's called for going much lighter on crime.
00:27:55.320 He's called for not cleaning up the streets.
00:27:57.480 And so this brings us back to a concept that, again, much like my calls, which I think now are pretty well understood by many people, but getting back to my calls for cancel culture, this is a related term that a lot of right-wingers are going to react against, especially from the libertarian side, but they shouldn't.
00:28:14.760 It's this term, the common good.
00:28:17.580 For much of my life, the common good was understood to be communist gobbledygook,
00:28:22.880 you know, a euphemism for collectivism and socialism and communism.
00:28:26.940 And no doubt it can be used that way by leftists,
00:28:29.900 but it's not a term that was invented by the left and it doesn't properly belong to the left.
00:28:34.900 The common good is something that conservatives for virtually all of history have defended
00:28:40.500 because the common good is actually rather different
00:28:44.280 from what the socialists and the communists mean. When Zoran Mamdani invokes the common good,
00:28:52.280 he's talking about taking from the rich and giving to the poor. When he invokes the common good,
00:28:56.660 he's talking about taking from the disfavored factions, the bourgeois white people, and giving 0.67
00:29:01.500 to the supposedly now favored factions, the immigrants, the leftists. But the common good
00:29:09.560 is different. The common good is that good which is common to all, that is not diminished when one
00:29:17.060 person has it. One person getting a piece of the common good doesn't diminish what another person
00:29:23.340 gets. The common good is that which helps us all. And so one way to advance the common good is to
00:29:30.600 lock up criminals. When criminals are locked up, that's good for the criminal because it might
00:29:35.660 help to rehabilitate him. And it's definitely good for the criminal's victims. It's good for
00:29:39.540 the bodega owner. Getting crime off the street in New York would help everybody. This is something
00:29:46.380 that we've known since Plato's Gorgias, great dialogue to read, in which Plato points out
00:29:52.320 that it's actually harmful. It's cruel not to punish the criminal. It hurts the criminal because
00:29:57.760 it degrades his soul and it will encourage him to live a bad life. And it certainly is harmful to
00:30:04.100 the victims. And it's harmful to society generally because we're scandalized when justice is not
00:30:08.500 enforced. So you need a true common good. That's the only response. The response to socialism
00:30:14.640 and communism cannot be an atomized individualism that is indifferent to value, that is indifferent
00:30:21.420 to virtue more precisely, that is indifferent to what is good and what is bad. The response
00:30:26.760 constantly that you hear from the more libertarian side when you invoke the common good is, well,
00:30:30.440 who decides? Who decides what's good? And the answer is somebody does. Somebody surely does.
00:30:37.860 But you cannot have a society that is good without recourse to the common good,
00:30:43.160 without recognizing what is good and what is bad. You can't have a self-government,
00:30:46.060 certainly that way. You can't have any kind of government, really.
00:30:49.500 And everyone's going to suffer, even the groups that you pretend that you're supporting.
00:30:52.820 So how does this apply at the federal level? What do we actually do about it? Well, here's an
00:30:57.180 example. The FCC is set to review the TV rating system for all the weird sex stuff, all the LGBT 1.00
00:31:04.320 stuff that the libs are trying to cram down our throats. So Brendan Carr, the head of the FCC, 1.00
00:31:10.420 says that he's going to re-examine. You've got a story in variety here. Trump's FCC wants input
00:31:15.020 on whether transgender and gender non-binary TV programming is appropriate for children.
00:31:20.760 The FCC is opening a new front in its anti-woke campaign. The agency is seeking feedback about
00:31:25.460 about whether the TV industry's voluntary rating system needs to be changed specifically with
00:31:31.280 regard to how shows with child-friendly ratings treat content with transgender and gender non-binary
00:31:36.720 themes. So the way this is all framed is that this is authoritarian, it's censorship, it's cancel
00:31:42.380 culture, and there's a slippery slope, and these right-wing religious fanatics want to exclude
00:31:52.520 LGBT stuff from TV? Well, I don't know. I guess to some degree, maybe that's true. But I guess
00:31:58.780 ask yourself about all the premises here. First of all, there is a rating system, right? And the
00:32:03.540 variety tries to dismiss this. They say, well, it's a voluntary rating system adopted by the
00:32:09.040 TV industry. Well, that's half the story. Why did the TV industry voluntarily adopt
00:32:13.660 the rating system that says kids 14 can watch this, kids under 14 can watch this?
00:32:20.340 kids? Why did they voluntarily adopt that? In response to a law passed by Congress in the 90s.
00:32:25.140 So it's voluntary-ish, but it's not this anarchist utopia where the law is never to be wielded.
00:32:32.180 That's in response to the law because the law is a teacher. And so you got to ask yourself this
00:32:36.420 basic question. Do you think kids should be seeing weird transgender stuff? Do you think that in your 1.00
00:32:41.940 heart of hearts? I don't care how hardcore a libertarian you are. If you're a leftist,
00:32:46.460 you think, absolutely. We need transgender content for babies in the womb. But if you're 1.00
00:32:51.760 a reasonable person and you say, well, I don't want authoritarianism. I don't want repression.
00:32:56.960 I don't hate cancel culture. I hate censorship. Do you really seriously think that little kids
00:33:02.560 should be exposed to trans stuff or weird gay stuff? Do you really think that? No.
00:33:09.080 They're going to try to get out of it. They'll say, well, I don't think that kids should be
00:33:12.480 exposed to sexual stuff generally. Okay, well, what do you mean by that? Do you think, for
00:33:20.260 instance, that in a kid's show, you can have a mommy and a daddy who are married? Because that
00:33:25.060 is sexual-related content, right? Do you think that a mommy and a daddy can be married in a 0.96
00:33:30.320 kid's show? Okay, do you think kid's shows, according to the warning system, should feature
00:33:36.220 a daddy and a daddy who are supposedly married? Maybe you do. Maybe some of you think that's
00:33:40.740 okay. I bet some of you, though, will say, no, I don't think that's appropriate for little kids.
00:33:43.660 I don't think they should have same-sex parents in Bluey. I don't want my kids to watch that stuff. 1.00
00:33:49.260 Okay, but let's say some of you are, you're okay with it. Do you think that there should be a
00:33:53.720 transgender character in kids' cartoons? Do you think that's appropriate, given the rating system? 0.90
00:34:01.660 I think most of you would say, well, that's probably a bridge too far. But no, no, no,
00:34:05.320 they're not doing any sex stuff. It's not like, it's not pornography or anything. It's just going
00:34:08.460 to be a guy who identifies as a woman who's wearing a dress who asked who's called by female
00:34:13.580 pronouns in bluey is that okay i don't think bluey is actually doing any of this i'm just using it's
00:34:19.140 the example it's the most popular kids tv show do you think that would be okay they should get the
00:34:23.120 totally fine for all kids rating tv why if that no okay so now you're drawing a substantive
00:34:33.540 distinction. You are saying that it is better for a kid to have a mommy and a daddy than for a kid
00:34:42.560 to have a transgender single parent or to have two daddies or two mommies maybe. You are making 0.97
00:34:48.000 a substantive, you're saying it's better to be straight than gay. You're saying that. 1.00
00:34:51.920 And furthermore, you're saying that the government should give preference, should put its finger on
00:34:57.920 the scale should not be neutral to say, actually, we should encourage married mommy and daddy,
00:35:04.380 not LGBT. And this is where a lot of people, there's going to be a disconnect. This is where
00:35:11.540 there's going to be a little cognitive dissonance because a lot of people, even on the right,
00:35:14.940 say, well, I don't want the government to have that much power. I don't want the government to
00:35:19.720 do that. I don't want to make a decision like that. Who am I to judge? So you know what? I
00:35:24.660 don't know. It's fine. Never mind. That's what a lot of people on the right are going to say.
00:35:28.620 That's not what Brendan Carr is saying at the FCC. That's not what the Trump administration is
00:35:31.960 saying. That's not what I'm saying. I'm willing to do it. I'm willing to say some things are good
00:35:36.240 and some things are bad. And we actually can make decisions about this in conclusions, and we must.
00:35:42.900 And furthermore, the cowardice or the ignorance that leads one to say, I will not make a distinction
00:35:48.520 between mommy and daddy and daddy and daddy and transgender stepdaddy in kids programming, 0.95
00:35:55.200 the refusal, the cowardly or ignorant or both refusal to do that in kids programming 0.75
00:36:00.300 is a decision itself. Because at the end of the day, the kids programming is going to have the
00:36:07.040 weird LGBT stuff or it's not. And your answer to the question of what, if anything, the government 0.93
00:36:12.620 should do? How, if at all, the government should pressure industry groups or network television or
00:36:20.340 cable television? That is going to have an effect. Do you have the clarity and the courage
00:36:28.240 to say what kind of society you want to live in? Because if you're tempted, if you were tempted
00:36:35.040 to say, well, that's un-American, first of all, give me a break. Every single founding father
00:36:38.920 would be rolling in his grave if he thought that it were a serious matter of public debate whether
00:36:44.200 or not we should show LGBT, that term didn't even exist at the time, of course, whether we should
00:36:49.620 show weird sex stuff to little kids. They would be rolling in their graves at the very thought of
00:36:53.240 that. But if you're tempted to say it's un-American for me to impose a vision for the kind of country
00:36:59.280 I want to live in on my fellow citizens, the opposite is true. Our founding fathers gave us
00:37:05.280 self-government. And they did it within certain confines, constitutional confines,
00:37:11.040 pretty light confines. The rest of it is up to us, not just how we will live at an individual level,
00:37:18.000 but how we will live at a political level. That's the meaning of self-government.
00:37:21.140 Self-government is not merely self-discipline. It's establishing the way that we're all going
00:37:25.300 to live together. There is no better way to pay homage to the founding fathers than to come to
00:37:33.200 real conclusions about how we want to live, to exclude really bad stuff, to ostracize bad people,
00:37:40.320 to not take these things seriously as the subjects of endless debates,
00:37:46.580 but to come to conclusions and move on and be a serious, thriving country.
00:37:51.280 Speaking of debates and what's on our screens, Russell Brand has gone viral
00:37:55.380 for an interaction over the Bible with Piers Morgan. Tonight, Matt Walsh and I are joining
00:38:01.120 tpusa at the university of idaho for their this is the turning point tour after what happens
00:38:06.600 saturday night at the white house correspondence dinner a question is not exactly subtle how do
00:38:10.280 we get the left to stop trying to kill us is that even possible are we all just supposed to keep
00:38:15.080 pretending this is normal while the people who lecture us about threats to democracy keep
00:38:18.880 producing the threats we will also be taking questions from the audience live watch the
00:38:23.140 whole thing 9 30 p.m eastern on dailywire.com and in the daily wire app i want to tell you my
00:38:29.520 favorite comment yesterday. Now, I didn't pick this. The producers picked it. We'll see if I
00:38:32.800 agree. This is from Bjergman9168, who says, and this is why we need a ballroom.
00:38:42.340 Yeah, we do. We do need the ballroom. This occurred to me as the shooting was taking place.
00:38:49.300 So what's the hotel that they're having the correspondence dinner at?
00:38:52.520 Someone said, the Washington Hilton. I said, that rings a bell. Oh, right. The Washington Hilton
00:38:57.480 is the place where President Reagan was almost murdered. And then President Trump was almost
00:39:02.840 murdered there too. And I'm sure it's a fine hotel. I don't think I've ever stayed at the
00:39:05.580 Washington Hilton. But you know what? Maybe we need to start looking at the Marriott, okay?
00:39:09.720 When two presidents are almost murdered at a single hotel, maybe I don't want to weigh in
00:39:14.400 this chain or that chain. Maybe we should stop hosting events at the Washington Hilton.
00:39:19.360 And really, maybe we should start hosting these events, including and especially during our
00:39:23.540 political climate, which is much more violent now, maybe we should start hosting them at a
00:39:27.720 secure location. Maybe the White House can have an event space. Maybe that's not so crazy.
00:39:34.720 And if some district judge wants to stop it, I flick my finger under my chin like a good Sicilian.
00:39:40.080 Who cares? We should just do it. Yes, that's why we need a ballroom. Among many other reforms
00:39:46.660 that we need after the shooting on Saturday, at least in the top 500. Yes, the White House should
00:39:53.660 have a ballroom and we should ignore the libs who want to stop it. Now, speaking of what's on our
00:39:58.080 screens, Piers Morgan has gone viral for an interaction with Russell Brand. Russell Brand,
00:40:02.720 the eccentric actor and comedian who used to be very much on the left. Now he's kind of on the
00:40:07.880 right. He goes to, he spoke at Turning Point, actually, right before I spoke at America Fest.
00:40:13.740 And he's got a new book coming out with Tucker Carlson's publishing company.
00:40:17.920 And so he goes on the Piers Morgan show amid very serious accusations against him.
00:40:22.600 One is that he dated a 16-year-old and was rather rough with a 16-year-old when he was 30.
00:40:28.440 And a bevy of criminal complaints that he allegedly raped women some years ago.
00:40:34.340 Russell Brand now is promoting this book where he says he's become a Christian.
00:40:38.480 And I think the book is called How to Be a Christian in Seven Days or something like that.
00:40:43.800 And so Piers Morgan grilled him on his Christianity.
00:40:48.760 You're the very one. 1.00
00:40:50.060 Okay.
00:40:50.840 What was your thinking of taking it into court?
00:40:53.100 And what you were seeing, looking at some passages,
00:40:55.600 what were the relevant passages for you?
00:40:57.180 All right.
00:40:57.920 Thank you for asking me.
00:40:59.140 Thank you.
00:41:00.000 That didn't hurt, did it?
00:41:01.860 A little bit.
00:41:06.420 It was this from Isaiah.
00:41:07.380 What passages were you looking at?
00:41:09.500 You're right.
00:41:10.180 But I did say, you know, be chilled.
00:41:13.000 Sometimes I lose the chill, man.
00:41:16.140 It's pretty...
00:41:17.780 So he's just looking for the passage.
00:41:20.860 Here's Morgan sitting still as could be.
00:41:23.260 It's this.
00:41:29.880 They don't like that, do they, in the old gallery?
00:41:32.060 But remember you just said it's a hired spot.
00:41:35.760 This is from Isaiah.
00:41:39.900 Okay.
00:41:43.920 I'm cutting out parts too long to play on the show.
00:41:47.200 Piers, dead silent, just looks up at the audience.
00:41:51.600 Whatever you think about this interaction,
00:41:55.240 whether you defend Russell Brand here,
00:41:57.280 whether you think Russell Brand is a charlatan,
00:41:59.300 you got to give it to Piers.
00:42:00.380 He is a generational television talent.
00:42:03.820 He's just a broadcast talent, I should say.
00:42:05.740 Now he's on YouTube.
00:42:06.540 He's just so good at this.
00:42:08.880 He plays it perfectly.
00:42:09.860 as Brand is looking for the Bible verse
00:42:12.540 that he said that he was going through his mind.
00:42:15.300 Peers dead silent, looks, mugs for the camera.
00:42:18.960 What's going on here? 0.82
00:42:21.220 Some people insist Russell Brand is a complete degenerate
00:42:24.400 and his conversion is totally fake
00:42:26.080 and he's just putting on a show for everybody,
00:42:27.960 trying to dupe everybody.
00:42:30.160 Some people insist that the prosecution
00:42:33.200 is political of Russell Brand
00:42:35.020 and he has had a genuine conversion
00:42:38.300 And as is often the case, I have the least comfortable position in that I'm kind of skeptical of the whole thing.
00:42:47.960 Okay, I don't, I hope that Russell Brandt has converted.
00:42:51.860 I hope that's true.
00:42:53.040 I can pray that that is true.
00:42:55.880 And, you know, I'll always err on the side of grace in these matters.
00:42:59.700 I don't know.
00:43:01.500 Yeah, the timing is a little funny that the conversion happened right around the prosecution.
00:43:05.200 Maybe, look, maybe that is expected too.
00:43:07.560 Likewise, with the prosecution, I mentioned earlier some of the charges against him.
00:43:10.760 So one claim is that he dated, when he was 30 years old, he dated a 16-year-old,
00:43:14.520 and he was rather rough with her.
00:43:15.740 I won't go into lurid details.
00:43:17.820 What's strange, though, about that claim is he isn't being prosecuted for that.
00:43:22.840 That apparently wasn't against the law.
00:43:24.120 I guess 16 was the age of consent when he did it.
00:43:26.860 And then the rape charges against Russell Brand,
00:43:30.200 they all stem, by my calculation, from between 17 and 25 years ago.
00:43:36.360 So it does raise this question, why are they coming up now?
00:43:39.720 17 to 25 years, the most recent ones I think were 17 years ago.
00:43:44.000 And some of them go back a quarter century.
00:43:45.880 Why are they coming up now?
00:43:48.380 Why wasn't this investigated or prosecuted before?
00:43:51.500 Because before, when this stuff happened, Russell Brand was firmly on the left,
00:43:55.280 and he was a Hollywood mainstay.
00:43:58.580 Why are they only coming up now that he seems to have switched sides politically,
00:44:02.580 talks about different issues that, I don't know, the mainstream doesn't like.
00:44:05.920 I'm skeptical of the whole thing. I'd be curious to see where you weigh in on this.
00:44:11.600 But it is okay to be skeptical of all of it. I guess that's my main takeaway from it.
00:44:16.540 I don't really, I am unwilling to say that Russell Brand's conversion is not genuine.
00:44:23.620 I don't want to say it, and I want to err on the side of grace.
00:44:27.140 I don't know. Maybe we should talk about it. I'm unwilling to say that. But likewise,
00:44:32.580 you know, I've said this in the, during the, I don't know, every time during the whole Me Too
00:44:37.480 movement, I said, I'm a little skeptical of some, not that a lot of these guys aren't total
00:44:41.080 degenerates, but just why is it coming up now, decades and decades later? The only thing that
00:44:46.640 I am certain of is that that was absolutely masterful TV from Piers Morgan. So much more
00:44:53.440 to get to, speaking of foreigners, that we got a lot coming out of Hungary after the ouster of
00:44:59.520 the most right-wing prime minister in all of Europe,
00:45:02.320 kind of the last remaining really solid
00:45:03.800 right-wing prime minister in Europe.
00:45:05.640 He was ousted.
00:45:06.820 We were told that the new guy
00:45:09.340 is even more right-wing than Orbán,
00:45:10.660 and we're getting a lot of news out of Hungary
00:45:12.320 that maybe that isn't the case.
00:45:13.360 They're about to launch their own LGBT network,
00:45:15.660 like fully just a rainbow TV is what it's called. 0.99
00:45:19.480 And I do want to get to the war in Iran.
00:45:21.300 We haven't gotten an update on this.
00:45:22.700 We haven't really gotten an update from the government,
00:45:25.420 but we're still kind of in this war.
00:45:28.640 The Strait of Hormuz is still closed.
00:45:30.180 The double blockade is still on.
00:45:31.820 We don't know how this is going to land.
00:45:33.620 I think it's going to have major political ramifications,
00:45:36.000 economic ramifications, political ramifications.
00:45:38.860 We'll have to get to all of that tomorrow
00:45:40.200 because today is Tee Hee Tuesday.
