The Covington kids sue the Washington Post for a quarter of a billion dollars.
00:00:42.160
Crooked ex-FBI official Andy McCabe walks back comments on the coup d'etat that he helped plan.
00:00:48.400
New York's Bolshevik mayor Bill de Blasio attacks Ocasio-Cortez as too far left.
00:00:52.900
And Kamala Harris's own father attacks her for cynically playing identity politics.
00:01:02.480
I'm Michael Knowles, and this is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:01:11.280
This is a day that we have all been waiting for.
00:01:13.820
After weeks of the left going completely insane, we've wondered, is there a limit to this?
00:01:19.680
Is there any point that they can reach where members of their own party will push back,
00:01:25.280
I think we have reached it, and we have reached it explicitly today.
00:01:29.000
All of the evidence shows a major pushback, not just from Howard Schultz, although he's part of it,
00:01:34.860
but from members of the Democrat Party, from left-wingers, from Bolsheviks like Bill de Blasio.
00:01:39.320
We'll go through all of it, but first, let's make a little money, honey, with Dollar Shave Club.
00:01:43.900
I love that Dollar Shave Club has everything I need to look, feel, and smell my best.
00:01:48.140
What I love even more is that I never have to go to the store.
00:01:50.560
That's because Dollar Shave Club delivers everything that I need right to my door,
00:01:55.940
and they keep me fully stocked on what I use so I don't run out.
00:01:59.440
They have everything you need to get ready, no matter what you're getting ready for.
00:02:03.200
They have you covered head to toe, your hair, your skin, your face, you name it.
00:02:06.840
They have this new program where they automatically keep you stocked up on the products that you use.
00:02:11.440
For instance, look at my shiny, beautiful teeth.
00:02:16.980
And this is one of those things I always forget to go to the store to buy toothpaste,
00:02:20.340
so you're there at the very end of the tube squeezing out, you know,
00:02:23.920
one hundredth of a cent worth of toothpaste until the very end.
00:02:27.800
Or sometimes, I hate to be a little behind the curtain here on this,
00:02:31.920
sometimes you don't even, you just try to brush as best you can with the remnant scraps of toothpaste.
00:02:38.180
Get that beautiful Dollar Shave Club toothpaste.
00:02:43.480
Right now, they've got a bunch of starter sets you can try for just five bucks like their oral care kit.
00:02:47.740
After that, the restock box ships regular sized products at regular price.
00:02:52.320
Get your starter set for just five bucks right now.
00:02:55.860
Go to dollarshaveclub.com slash covfefe, C-O-V-F-E-F-E.
00:02:59.660
That is dollarshaveclub.com slash covfefe, C-O-V-F-E-F-E.
00:03:06.760
So the first bit of evidence that the left has gone too far and we're not going to take it anymore
00:03:11.560
comes in the form of those Covington High School kids.
00:03:16.120
You remember the kids waiting for their bus outside in Washington.
00:03:19.540
A bunch of black supremacists start screaming at them.
00:03:21.620
That Native American lunatic walks up and starts banging a drum in the kid's face.
00:03:25.400
Kid does nothing other than sort of smile a little bit.
00:03:28.880
And the whole mainstream media, the whole left wing, Democrat presidential candidates,
00:03:45.620
He is now suing the Washington Post for a quarter of a billion dollars.
00:04:00.020
And I got to tell you, I have been waiting over three years for this tweet.
00:04:07.860
The Washington Post ignored basic journalistic standards because it wanted to advance its
00:04:12.680
well-known and easily documented biased agenda against President Donald J. Trump.
00:04:24.560
I have been waiting over three years for this tweet.
00:04:28.300
I have been waiting three years ever since Barack Obama tweeted out to that kid who had,
00:04:33.800
it was, I guess, sort of like a bomb hoax in his school from this,
00:04:37.520
he's the son of this activist, radical activist.
00:04:40.280
And the kid brought in what looked like a bomb, but it was a disassembled clock that he didn't even build.
00:04:51.060
And he obviously is in favor of the radical left here.
00:04:59.060
We should inspire more kids like you to like science.
00:05:05.100
And we just sat there and we thought, you jerk, Barack Obama.
00:05:10.520
You have to just needle all of America all the time.
00:05:18.120
Imply that they are irrationally, religiously bigoted.
00:05:21.620
It just, mm, mm, mm, just twist that little knife.
00:05:25.260
And we have been waiting now for over three years for the answer.
00:05:30.500
And the answer wasn't because some guy made a clock or whatever.
00:05:34.920
No, the answer was because a high school kid is suing WAPO for a quarter of a billion dollars.
00:05:51.060
Revenge is a dish best tweeted three years later when you might take down that stupid fake newspaper,
00:06:02.860
So the, I'm enjoying this so much that it takes a while to come back and ask the question,
00:06:15.520
But it'd be better, obviously, if he does have a case.
00:06:18.520
And the evidence points to the Covington kid, Nick Sandman, actually having a defamation case against the Washington Post.
00:06:29.220
I mean, it's very hard to prove defamation or libel or slander or calumny.
00:06:33.720
It's very difficult because you have to show intent.
00:06:37.940
You have to show that they were ignoring certain things.
00:06:43.120
Alan Dershowitz, one of the leading lawyers in the whole country for the past 40 years, 50 years,
00:06:51.280
The lawsuit claims that the Washington Post, quote,
00:06:54.380
ignored the truth and falsely accused Nicholas of, among other things,
00:06:59.940
accosting, in quotes, Phillips by suddenly swarming him in a threatening and physically intimidating manner.
00:07:09.680
Now, did the Washington Post just get the story wrong?
00:07:13.900
Does this very language constitute defamation in and of itself?
00:07:21.880
How does a 16-year-old kid appear physically threatening?
00:07:25.700
The kid, I mean, not, I don't mean to criticize the kid at all.
00:07:28.920
He's not the most physically intimidating guy to begin with.
00:07:32.540
Is he intimidating him because he's sort of smiling while some lunatic is banging a drum in his face?
00:07:41.220
There was no evidence whatsoever that they suddenly swarmed.
00:07:45.580
The Washington Post invented that out of whole cloth.
00:07:49.100
Because the short video that was first released didn't show that.
00:07:51.840
And then the longer video obviously didn't show that.
00:07:54.120
Instead, you had the Native American lunatic and the black supremacists swarming the kids.
00:08:00.420
Native American, or the black supremacists screaming at the kids, starting the confrontation,
00:08:05.460
and then the Native American lunatic physically going up to the kids and banging a drum in their face.
00:08:10.200
That's obviously more threatening than smirking.
00:08:12.780
Banging a drum in some kid's face instead of just a little assault smirk, a hate smirk.
00:08:18.560
Now, the Sandman attorney goes on further, and this is like the best part of it.
00:08:22.920
All members of the mainstream and social media mob of bullies who recklessly and viciously attacked Nick
00:08:29.480
would be well served to read it carefully, referring to the lawsuit.
00:08:35.080
Now, the language here was very precise and it was intentional.
00:08:38.860
All these other members of the media, as well as these online celebrities, presidential candidates,
00:08:44.320
would be well served to read it carefully, as in served with a lawsuit.
00:08:52.820
What it seems to imply, I hope it's not an empty threat,
00:08:55.220
what it seems to imply is that Sandman is going to be going after other people as well who piled on him.
00:09:02.480
I hope he takes these people for all they're worth.
00:09:05.740
I hope he rips the Washington Post to the ground.
00:09:08.460
The Washington Post is already a journalistic pile of rubble,
00:09:12.200
and they should empty out that building as well.
00:09:16.520
They should empty out the corporate structure as well.
00:09:19.600
And that way you can have the corporate structure match the journalistic standards that they adhere to,
00:09:27.140
Same thing with the Democrat presidential candidates.
00:09:32.160
In New York City, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has gone too far left as well.
00:09:40.100
AOC has gone too far left, even for the Bolshevik mayor, Bill de Blasio.
00:09:48.260
So Bill de Blasio was interviewed on NBC News, and he was asked about the Amazon deal.
00:09:56.980
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez almost single-handedly chased Amazon out of New York.
00:10:01.900
This destroyed 40,000 jobs, the jobs with an average salary of $150,000, a ton of tax revenue from that borough,
00:10:12.020
from that neighborhood, going into the city, going into the state.
00:10:15.220
Even lefty lunatics like de Blasio were begging for Amazon to come there,
00:10:24.540
Here is Bill de Blasio trying to walk this tightrope between not going explicitly after AOC,
00:10:32.960
but also saying, look, we progressives, we Democrats are not anti-job.
00:10:43.080
The leading spokesman for progressivism right now, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,
00:10:53.540
I mean, he's saying, no, no, no, don't believe that.
00:11:00.480
Well, Chuck, it's great to be here, but I'm a progressive and I'm proud to be.
00:11:03.520
Progressives are about jobs for working people.
00:11:10.800
I see why he has to make that case, because the left has been exposed.
00:11:16.180
But jobs for working people is not a progressive value.
00:11:20.100
The progressive value is not about helping out the poor.
00:11:24.360
The progressive value is about hurting the rich.
00:11:31.220
But they have exposed themselves in this Amazon deal.
00:11:34.320
The Amazon deal, which would have cost the city nothing,
00:11:36.760
it would have cost them $3 billion in tax incentives,
00:11:41.100
out of an additional $27 billion in tax revenue that they were going to get,
00:11:45.460
would have created tens of thousands of jobs, an enormous amount of wealth.
00:11:50.220
Forget about just tax receipts to the state and local governments.
00:11:53.640
Just the wealth that this would have created for New York would have been immense.
00:11:58.540
And they gave all of that up on the ideology of progressivism,
00:12:02.720
because by helping the working class and the middle class in New York,
00:12:09.640
And Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her fellow progressives cannot abide that.
00:12:13.400
They would rather hurt the rich than help the poor.
00:12:20.000
socialism is the creed of ignorance, the gospel of envy,
00:12:29.720
you would rather the difference in wealth between the rich and the poor
00:12:38.340
than for the difference in wealth between the rich and the poor to increase,
00:12:49.880
She also exposes herself for not understanding anything about economics.
00:12:56.140
I don't mean that she doesn't understand some advanced aspect of economics,
00:13:01.060
I mean, she doesn't understand even what a tax is.
00:13:08.700
and we'll show De Blasio trying to talk about it,
00:13:15.880
so let's make a little money, honey, with honey.
00:13:17.900
Millions of top-rated sellers are offering the exact same products on Amazon.
00:13:22.220
Finding the best deal feels like looking for an invisible needle in the world's biggest haystack.
00:13:28.760
I always get the best price on Amazon without lifting a finger.
00:13:32.040
Honey automatically goes to work whenever I shop on Amazon.
00:13:34.360
It compares the prices of every seller that carries the item that I want.
00:13:37.400
Honey factors in shipping, sales tax, and Amazon Prime status to make sure I'm getting the lowest total price.
00:13:42.740
It makes the best deal every time, even if Amazon doesn't.
00:13:46.160
It's like having your very own personal shopping assistant.
00:13:50.960
I was buying a Valentine's Day present for sweet little Elisa,
00:13:56.660
You know, you're looking at all the different prices and everything,
00:14:08.260
I was able to get the cheapest price on sweet little Elisa's AirPods,
00:14:15.220
I mean, I've been using Honey since before the Daily Wire existed.
00:14:19.020
More than 10 million people are using Honey to save money.
00:14:21.500
It has over 100,000 five-star reviews on the Chrome store.
00:14:24.960
Next time you're shopping on Amazon, don't wonder whether you found the best deal.
00:14:30.360
Add Honey for free at joinhoney.com slash covfefe.
00:14:48.320
this is the clip that de Blasio has to react to.
00:14:56.960
She's celebrating how she chased Amazon out of New York.
00:15:05.160
And Chuck Todd has to play this clip for Bill de Blasio.
00:15:09.900
but just listen to how this woman misunderstands taxes.
00:15:16.540
if we were willing to give away $3 billion for this deal,
00:15:20.320
we could invest those $3 billion in our district ourselves if we wanted to.
00:15:27.860
We can put a lot of people to work for that money if we wanted to.
00:15:37.760
I mean, this is why she, I guess, just pure ignorance coupled with her ideology
00:15:44.260
caused her to fight and get rid of 40,000 jobs in her district.
00:15:53.680
New York said that they would give $3 billion in tax incentives to Amazon
00:15:58.560
A tax incentive is a rebate on the taxes that you pay.
00:16:05.160
So in order to get the $3 billion in tax incentives,
00:16:08.720
you have to pay at least $3 billion in the first place.
00:16:14.500
If that revenue isn't there, revenue to the government,
00:16:20.160
She thinks there's just like $3 billion sitting around on 15th Street
00:16:24.500
just waiting to be picked up and doled out to everybody.
00:16:36.280
So if there's no Amazon, there's no $3 billion.
00:16:40.240
This girl has a degree in economics from Boston University.
00:16:46.720
We should shut her, we should decertify Boston University.
00:16:49.880
If you can get a degree in economics from Boston University
00:17:00.520
People should, I mean, certainly no one should send their children there
00:17:05.560
Because even if you, if you could learn economics there,
00:17:14.480
By the way, the entire role of Congress is to control the purse strings.
00:17:28.900
A lot of people think that when you give a tax incentive,
00:17:32.300
that somehow that's, oh, that's money you had over here
00:17:47.160
Yeah, look, this was a deal that was going to bring
00:17:52.780
for things like public education, mass transit, affordable housing.
00:17:56.300
And that $3 billion would go back in tax incentives
00:18:01.240
There's not $3 billion in money that exists anywhere, correct?
00:18:22.920
And he keeps saying, look, I'm defining progressivism.
00:18:29.040
And the way that we know that you are not the spokesman
00:18:31.780
for progressivism is that you won't criticize AOC,
00:18:35.960
who just lost your city $27 billion in tax revenue,
00:18:43.260
You won't go after her because she is popular nationally.
00:18:47.300
She is a far more widely known spokesman for progressivism
00:18:55.600
when you follow AOC and you are factually incorrect
00:19:03.700
they're so obsessed with being factually correct
00:19:17.380
And she did it because she was factually incorrect.
00:19:23.500
She thought that the city was going to spend $3 billion
00:19:28.440
$3 billion that they could have invested in the people.
00:19:42.240
that AOC has demonstrated her economic illiteracy,
00:19:52.040
That means we're going to have bankruptcy for all.
00:19:56.040
to do a gigantic amount of rebuilding of this country.
00:20:01.460
It's going to make this country literally bankrupt.
00:20:03.540
If the Green New Deal were ever signed into law
00:20:29.020
People think Venezuela could never happen here.
00:20:37.340
Democrats have passed big, radical spending packages
00:20:50.720
They were always economically largely illiterate.
00:20:59.120
not just hampering the economy for four or eight years.
00:21:04.920
When you have gone further left than Bill de Blasio,
00:21:51.360
He's contradicting them now yesterday on MSNBC.
00:22:18.440
one topic in the midst of a whole host of issues
00:22:25.520
Did he present that idea to other cabinet officials
00:22:29.900
to see, do I have the votes to remove the president?
00:22:42.680
he said that Rod Rosenstein was counting the votes.
00:22:47.300
and whether or not people would support such an idea,
00:23:27.140
But we know at the very beginning of his interview,
00:23:31.780
no, no, we weren't talking about removing the president.
00:23:45.420
no, but that was part of a wide-ranging discussion.
00:23:57.340
Now you're admitting you were talking about it.
00:24:06.400
when this guy was found to have lied to investigators,
00:24:29.960
and now we've got to look at potential prosecution.
00:24:40.720
which is the polite, bureaucratic way of saying lied,
00:24:46.660
or authorized a leak on the Hillary Clinton case.
00:25:02.320
to be the person who was the liaison with the press.
00:25:56.400
One of them is lying about inconsequential things.
00:25:59.740
Another one is basically just likes nice Italian suits.
00:26:03.020
Some of these guys, they're lying about things,
00:26:05.600
maybe, or misleading, or maybe misremembering things
00:26:08.400
in an investigation that really shouldn't have been
00:26:46.560
This is a guy who is not only a demonstrable liar,
00:26:51.220
don't believe our lying eyes and our lying ears.
00:27:26.020
She's probably the strongest candidate right now,
00:27:33.780
Then we've got to get to good old Crazy Bernie.
00:27:52.780
a baby shower for the baby that you're killing.
00:27:56.520
we've got to say goodbye to Facebook and YouTube.
