The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 547 - Taking The Red Pill

00:00:01.000 Furious at crazy left-wing COVID policies, Elon Musk takes the so-called red pill,

00:00:07.760 prompting right-wingers to claim the Tesla boss as a conservative and left-wingers to call him a

00:00:12.540 Nazi. But they think everybody's a Nazi. Speaking of which, a left-wing Harvard professor praises

00:00:18.260 Nazi education policy. The ACLU, American Civil Liberties Union, comes out swinging against

00:00:24.480 civil liberties, and the mainstream media get caught with their masks down. Red pills for

00:00:29.760 everybody. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show. This is a red pill buffet. Enjoy. I

00:00:43.500 know buffets aren't allowed anymore amid COVID, but here they are. What even is a red pill? I don't

00:00:49.200 know. It's a little bit of a complicated question. Elon Musk's just over the past few days, he

00:00:54.260 tweeted out, take the red pill. And then there's a little red rose emoji, which actually makes it a

00:01:03.440 little bit confusing exactly what he was saying. What does the red pill mean? If you were to ask

00:01:11.880 a hundred people in a room, you said, what is the red pill? You might get a hundred different answers.

00:01:16.480 If you asked independent-minded people, you know, not conservative, but not leftist, maybe they have

00:01:24.060 some kind of confusing views. They're left-wing on one thing, right-wing on another. They would say

00:01:28.860 that taking the red pill is to think independently. If you ask a conservative, what does it mean to take

00:01:35.040 the red pill? They'd say it's to become a conservative, to stop being a liberal or a leftist

00:01:39.500 or a progressive. And if you were to ask a left-winger, what is the red pill? They'd tell you

00:01:44.360 it's a code word for Nazi. And they actually did. When Elon Musk tweeted this out over the weekend, 0.91

00:01:49.640 everybody just said, Elon Musk is a Nazi now. There was a blue check mark, Molly Jong Fast,

00:01:54.980 who said, Elon Musk is a racist. He's a bigot. It's anything, you know, the left has done this 0.99

00:02:01.000 in recent years. They've said that a bunch of innocuous symbols are code words for neo-Nazis.

00:02:07.320 So they did this to the okay hand symbol. They said that's actually now like a secret Nazi symbol.

00:02:12.740 They did this to a glass of milk. That's now basically a swastika and they're doing it to 0.73

00:02:19.640 the red pill, which is a reference to the movie, the matrix. You know, people are forgetting that

00:02:27.340 this red pill idea, it's not some dark recess of the internet. You know, it's hidden on the hidden

00:02:32.860 levels of 4chan. It comes from the matrix. And in the matrix, there is a choice presented said,

00:02:39.140 you can take the red pill and you can see reality as it is, or you can take the blue pill and you

00:02:44.260 can remain in the kind of matrix fantasies. That I think is the most basic definition. When you apply

00:02:50.260 the red pill language to politics, it means giving up ideology, realizing that ideology is a lie.

00:03:01.060 And I think this is why Elon Musk put that little red rose there, because the red rose is another

00:03:05.780 Twitter symbol that refers explicitly to the democratic socialists of America. So you'll

00:03:11.140 see a lot of very far left-wing accounts have the little red rose picture. This is kind of odd,

00:03:14.980 right? It says, take the red pill and then a little red rose. Was it because Elon Musk doesn't know what

00:03:19.240 that red rose means? Is it because he thought it was a red pill instead of a red rose? Was he being

00:03:24.280 ironic or sarcastic? What is he? Well, on the one hand, on the one level, the one thing we know Elon

00:03:30.100 Musk is really good at is getting everybody to talk about him. He's one of the greatest marketers

00:03:33.980 of his age. But on the other hand, I think there's actually some significance to it, maybe, which is

00:03:38.940 regardless of exactly where you want to try to pinpoint me down on the left or on the right or

00:03:44.760 in the middle, take the red pill means rejecting these ideological categorizations. It means most

00:03:52.880 basically recognizing that the official narrative is wrong. It means preferring reality to theory.

00:04:01.200 This is a big difference between the right and the left. On the right, the conservatives that are

00:04:07.800 best, we prefer reality. We don't really care about how it works in theory. We don't need there to be a

00:04:13.140 big manifesto about how things work as long as it actually works. And on the left, they don't care if

00:04:18.620 things actually work. They don't care if American society basically works pretty well. They don't care

00:04:22.880 if the West has led to a lot of human flourishing. They want to know how it works in theory. Elon Musk is not

00:04:29.300 a typical Republican. Joe Rogan is another one of these. He's not a typical Republican, right?

00:04:35.900 Joe Rogan was a Bernie bro as of two months ago or something. But now Joe Rogan is saying,

00:04:43.620 I can't vote for Biden. I might end up voting for Trump. And now the left is very upset with him for

00:04:47.820 this. He's resisting ideological categorization. But I think there are a lot of people like Joe. I mean,

00:04:54.180 obviously there are a lot of people like Joe Rogan. His show is one of the biggest podcasts in the

00:04:57.500 world. I think there are a lot of people like Elon Musk who are a little bit more independent-minded

00:05:02.420 and who are coming over more to the right. If this were 20 years ago or 15 years ago,

00:05:09.380 this were during the Bush era, you might see more independent-minded people leaning left. But now

00:05:14.660 they're heading in the direction of the Republicans or the conservatives or Trump. Why? It's because

00:05:21.220 they're questioning their assumptions. They're taking the red pill. They're preferring reality

00:05:27.760 to this kind of official story that permeates our whole political lives that we've been told

00:05:35.100 that probably isn't all that true. And the people most responsible for doling out those red pills,

00:05:42.360 it's not me. It's not some other conservative. It's not even Donald Trump. It's the media. It's

00:05:50.780 the mainstream media. And the mainstream media have sort of exposed themselves because of Donald

00:05:55.620 Trump. He's helped them along. But they have done it themselves. When people realize that the

00:06:01.660 mainstream media apparatus are not telling you the truth, are telling you lies, are constructing whole

00:06:07.540 narratives out of whole cloth, then that difference between the ideology and the reality becomes very,

00:06:14.000 very clear. We will get to that in a second. There was a protest over the weekend that showed

00:06:20.360 pretty deservedly, I think, just the level of vitriol people have for the mainstream media.

00:06:25.560 We'll get to that in one second. First off, got to thank our friends over at Movement. You know,

00:06:30.760 right now, if you are spending a lot of time in front of a screen, then you need to protect

00:06:37.340 your eyes. I figured this out years ago, and it really, really helps. This is why the team over

00:06:52.960 eyes from digital eye strain and other harmful effects from blue light, like headaches and poor

00:06:57.860 sleep. I know you're probably thinking exactly what I did when I first heard about this. You think,

00:07:02.860 oh, what, the blue light is going to affect me? Okay, that's some hippy dippy stuff. Who cares?

00:07:07.980 Then I tried blocking the blue light with things like these glasses.

00:07:11.860 My eyes feel so much better. I actually do feel more restful at night. It's tremendous.

00:07:38.960 So the great dispenser of red pills is the mainstream media. There was a protest going

00:07:45.420 on. I think it was in Long Island. It was about reopening New York. And they had a local journalist,

00:07:51.540 you know, so it's not even like CNN or ABC. It's one of the more local news channels, but still

00:07:56.100 a left-wing news channel. And they're going around with the cameras and the people protesting,

00:08:01.860 they're not having any of it. They're not being violent. They're not being threatening.

00:08:05.300 They just look at them and they say, hey, you are fake news and we're not going to pay

00:08:10.140 any attention to you. I'm just trying to get by on the sidewalk. That's all.

00:08:13.580 You shouldn't be here. You're fake news. You stopped. You stopped airing the Trump briefings

00:08:19.040 and you keep airing Cuomo briefings. Go home. You're fake news. Go home.

00:08:23.360 You're destroying something in Long Island. You are the enemy of the people.

00:08:28.040 You are fake news. You are the enemy. 0.99

00:08:29.920 You are fake news. We know that you're liberal gender. We know you want to keep your job. We get 1.00

00:08:34.600 it. You're not getting advertiser dollars right now. You're not going to answer. So you're just

00:08:39.340 going to go live. I'm very happy. But other people are not getting paychecks and they're

00:08:45.180 not going to answer. You used to be a good channel at one time. I don't know what happened to you.

00:08:50.140 I love that guy at the end. I mean, I love all these guys because they're, they're talking very

00:08:54.000 blunt, right? This is in Long Island. This is in New York. People tend to be a little more blunt over

00:08:58.680 there. They're not saying, I'm going to kill you. You're a terrible person. No, they're just saying, 0.99

00:09:03.260 look, you're fake news. You're not doing your job. We know that you're telling lies now.

00:09:08.200 You used to hide it better. Now you're not hiding it. So go home. What do we need you here for?

00:09:12.360 You're, you're not covering the news, right? That, I guess that would be your function or

00:09:15.980 you're not doing that. You're just trying to harm us, right? You're just trying to make us look bad.

00:09:20.320 So get out of here. We don't need you. And then that guy at the end, he says,

00:09:23.080 you used to be a pretty good news channel. What happened? He's like, he is, it's such a genuine,

00:09:28.960 sincere interaction with the guy. He goes, I used to watch you, but you became so transparently

00:09:34.800 leftist. The things you were reporting are so different from reality that I don't watch it.

00:09:41.100 Go home. We don't need you. Jim Acosta, the, the Ron Burgundy of CNN tweets this out and he says,

00:09:49.020 disturbing. No, it's deserved. It's deserved. If the mainstream media had

00:09:57.740 even continued to push their liberal agenda, which they've always had, they've had in this

00:10:02.800 country for a long time, but they just didn't lie all the time. They just didn't go so far.

00:10:11.240 People would still probably believe them, but they couldn't do it. They could not do it. And you know,

00:10:19.660 the, it's gotten more ridiculous and egregious in the Trump era, but the mainstream media have always 0.96

00:10:25.560 had these lies. I mean, Walter Durante, one of the, a Pulitzer prize winning journalist, New York 0.86

00:10:30.120 Times, he covered the Soviet union and lied on behalf of the Soviet union. It wasn't just that he

00:10:38.600 got it wrong. He intentionally willfully lied and covered up the crimes of the holodomor and famines 0.98

00:10:44.980 in the Soviet union in the Western press because he was a communist sympathizer and he didn't care

00:10:51.580 that much for the West. And he got a Pulitzer prize for it. Durante actually was another weird,

00:10:55.800 he was actually the, I think he was the gay lover of one of the most prolific occultists and Satanists 0.90

00:11:00.960 of the 20th century, Aleister Crowley. That's a little, it's just a little side tidbit. We don't

00:11:06.360 need to go into that too much. Shows you kind of the corruption of some of these guys though. Very,

00:11:10.360 you know, these guys are living radical lives and yet the presentation, Walter Durante,

00:11:15.620 Pulitzer prize winner, mainstream media, this is the way it is, all the news that's fit to print.

00:11:20.180 Then you find out, no, it's not all the news that's fit to print. It's all the news that fits

00:11:24.920 the narrative and all these people in their very serious buttoned up coats and ties. And they're

00:11:30.020 just giving you the facts. Maybe not. Maybe they have an agenda. Maybe they're a pretty radical people

00:11:34.740 actually. So the, a great example of these kinds of lies in, in the Trump era, even this weekend,

00:11:42.560 one of the most hysterical and sanctimonious reporters over at CNN is Caitlin Collins. Caitlin Collins, 0.96

00:11:49.820 has been making herself the story now for weeks. She's been standing up to Trump. She's been

00:11:55.460 harshly critical of Trump's motives on the coronavirus response of his, his motives on even

00:12:02.220 relationships to the reporters. So she's talking about everyone's got to wear a mask, right?

00:12:07.980 She's got the mask on in the press briefing room and she's given it to Trump and it looks really good

00:12:12.120 on TV. Then the minute that the CNN cameras go off, do you know what she does? She takes off her 1.00

00:12:18.660 mask. Luckily there was still another camera going in the white house briefing room. So the, the,

00:12:22.700 the briefing ends and then CNN cameras go off. She goes, okay, I don't need this mask anymore.

00:12:27.420 She just takes it right off. And she thinks that we're not all going to see that. Take a look at

00:12:30.820 this. So if you can't, if you're not, well, if you're just listening right now, she's, you know,

00:12:35.260 they finally, they all leave the room and some of the reporters start to go and really, really bad

00:12:42.620 stagecraft. Caitlin Collins stands up, turns to face the other cameras that are still there and 0.88

00:12:47.200 takes that mask off. Now she's trying to spin it. Some people around her are trying to spin it and

00:12:52.320 say, oh, she was getting ready to do a television hit. Oh, she was about to, no, she takes it off

00:12:58.180 before she even leaves the room because none of these people take their own, what they're saying

00:13:03.820 seriously. They're giving you those rube masses, one set of rules, one set of narratives, and they're 1.00

00:13:12.960 living by another one themselves. And, and she wasn't even the worst one at this, at CNN.

00:13:18.520 Unfortunately, Jake Tapper, who some conservatives say does a good job sometimes, he, he was the most

00:13:23.240 egregious offender. We'll get to that in one second. First though, I've got to thank our friends over

00:13:27.160 at ReadyWise, especially now, my friends. Having enough food to last you in the event of a real food

00:13:35.320 emergency is sort of like life insurance and it can save you and your loved ones. I used to be a

00:13:41.480 little more loosey-goosey about this. You know, I just didn't pay as much attention to, to that kind

00:13:45.480 of stuff. And then all of this happened and all of a sudden it became a little bit more real. Our sponsor,

00:13:51.260 Wise Company, recently changed their name to ReadyWise. Now it is a better time than ever

00:13:57.160 before, at least in recent memory, to be prepared with long-term nutritional food options. ReadyWise

00:14:02.240 has many options like emergency meals, freeze-dried fruits and vegetables for convenient on-the-go

00:14:06.280 nutrition, and new adventure meals for hiking, camping, and other outdoor activities. It's not

00:14:16.480 situation. ReadyWise meals are easy to prepare. You just add water. They're very long shelf life.

00:14:55.940 It wasn't just Caitlin Collins at CNN. It was also Jake Tapper. So Jake Tapper tweets this out,

00:15:02.040 quote, President Trump and his team are launching an unprecedented, unprecedented smear campaign

00:15:07.920 against rivals, leveling wild and false allegations against critics in the media and politics,

00:15:15.400 ranging from bizarre conspiracy theories to spreading lies about pedophilia and even murder.

00:15:21.520 These smear campaigns are unmoored from reality. They're deranged and indecent and seem designed,

00:15:26.980 at least in part, to distract us from the horrific death, health and economic crisis caused by the

00:15:32.340 pandemic. The pandemic, which impacts you, is what we will continue to focus on.

00:15:37.440 Blah, blah, blah. So, you know, classic righteous indignation, Jake Tapper, even though it's not

00:15:45.060 particularly righteous indignation. What's he really saying with all this vague language?

00:15:50.860 He's upset that conservatives are going after Joe Biden. Okay. He's, he's upset that conservatives are

00:16:00.240 focusing on the allegations against Joe Biden in the same way they focused on the allegations against,

00:16:05.520 for instance, Brett Kavanaugh. And frankly, the allegations against Joe Biden, much, much,

00:16:10.640 much more credible than the allegations against Kavanaugh. He's talking about videos going around

00:16:17.000 of Joe, like apparently groping little girls. I'm not, you know, I'm not saying that any one of those

00:16:22.080 videos is the evidence that Joe is, you know, Jeffrey Epstein himself. I'm saying that all of the

00:16:27.640 videos are a little bit weird. And when you add them together, they show a pattern of behavior.

00:16:32.920 And if those videos were of a Republican, then we would never hear the end of this from people like

00:16:39.400 Jake Tapper. This is not a pedophile conspiracy theory. There are lots of clips. We, you know,

00:16:46.160 we've seen all the clips of Joe smelling all the women's hair and the women and girls and leaning in

00:16:51.660 and feeling them and getting a little creepy. All right. We don't need to play the clip. We played

00:16:55.400 them on this show a zillion times. The one clip I will play you though, is, is some evidence that

00:17:02.340 this has been a joke for many years, not just among conservatives and Republicans, also among

00:17:07.980 liberals and Democrats. Jon Stewart did a whole riff about this back when he was still running the

00:17:13.340 daily show. This would have, I guess it would have been about five years ago now, four or five

00:17:17.820 years ago, where Jon Stewart mocked, uh, gropey Joe. You know, he put an image up of called the

00:17:24.240 audacity of grope. It was Joe Biden in the very same memes that conservatives are sending around

00:17:29.140 now smelling a woman's hair, saying that it's actually a Senate rite of passage to have one 0.98

00:17:34.780 of the female members of your family grabbed by Joe Biden. We've already seen that remorse about

00:17:41.880 lady touching is the one thing Joe Biden will not feel.

00:17:45.520 Oh, I can still see it. Oh, what could you possibly be saying to her?

00:17:59.520 Be still, my child. While I absorb your precious life song.

00:18:18.740 It's barely a Senate rite of passage. You're not officially sworn in until Delaware Joe has felt up

00:18:22.920 one female member of your immediately family. You know, occasionally, occasionally, Jon Stewart

00:18:28.520 would take a shot at some Democrat, right? And, uh, you know, it was mostly he was taking shots at

00:18:34.180 Republicans. Most of them were unfair, but occasionally he'd take a shot at a left winger

00:18:37.500 and a Democrat too. Now you would never see that happen. Now, if you're even to, to play a clip of

00:18:45.000 Jon Stewart from 2015, then guys like Jake Tapper will say that these attacks are coming from

00:18:54.720 president Trump and his team. Jon Stewart's not on president Trump's team. Okay. And I guarantee you,

00:19:00.980 Jake Tapper saw clips like that from Jon Stewart, because the only people who actually watched Jon

00:19:05.680 Stewart when his show was on the air were members of the media because they were within an echo chamber

00:19:10.560 of their own media narrative, which increasingly became divorced from reality. The left used to make

00:19:16.880 fun of this back when Joe Biden was just silly. Uncle Joe, he was VP. It didn't really matter. 0.92

00:19:21.880 Or before that he was this kind of perennial candidate, right? He ran in the eighties and

00:19:27.120 he ran in the two thousands. They knew he wanted to run again. He's been in the Senate for a long

00:19:30.660 time. He was kind of like a nobody. I actually think the first time I ever saw Joe Biden on

00:19:35.420 television was on Jon Stewart's show. And Jon Stewart asked him, are you going to run for president

00:19:40.120 again? And Joe Biden kind of was coy about how he wanted to run. And I just thought this guy,

00:19:45.440 who is this guy? I never even heard of him, but he's going to run for president. I don't think so

00:19:49.600 now though. But now it's different because Joe is going to be the nominee. So all of reality has

00:19:55.180 to change. Everything has to go upside down for the narrative. And I think a lot of people are

00:20:01.000 tuning that out. Jake Tapper talks about deranged conspiracy theories. How about, I've got some

00:20:05.800 deranged conspiracy theories. The Russia collusion story. Remember that? Remember when guys like Jake

00:20:10.560 Tapper, including Jake Tapper, told us for years and years that Donald Trump was some sort of

00:20:15.000 Manchurian candidate for Moscow. He colluded, put in all these liberal Democrats like Adam Schiff,

00:20:20.760 who lied about the evidence that they didn't have for Donald Trump collusion. How about, remember the

00:20:26.920 Moscow urine tape? There's this, you probably don't even remember this because the, the news cycle is

00:20:33.060 so rapid now. But for years we were told that there was a tape based on the Steele dossier, which was

00:20:38.160 funded by Democrats, which was then used by the Obama administration to spy on, on Hillary Clinton's

00:20:43.460 political rivals. We were told that Donald Trump was caught on tape paying prostitutes in Russia

00:20:50.840 to urinate on his bed. That was the image that all the news channels talked about. It's just completely 0.98

00:20:56.200 fake, completely made up. And then of course the most deranged conspiracy theory of all promoted by

00:21:01.900 Jake Tapper was the idea that Brett Kavanaugh, milk toast federal lawyer, was actually secretly a gang 0.97

00:21:10.320 rapist. The whole mainstream media perpetuated this one, but especially Jake Tapper.

00:21:17.880 There's now a third accuser. The lead starts right now. Breaking news, new horrific accusations

00:21:26.860 about Brett Kavanaugh's alleged behavior with girls in high school. Kavanaugh denies it all. He says the

00:21:32.600 charges are from the Twilight Zone. Michael Avenatti, who represents the woman in question,

00:21:37.840 will be here in minutes. These new serious allegations come just hours before Kavanaugh and

00:21:43.400 his first accuser, Christine Blasey Ford are set to testify in front of the world. Might these new

00:21:48.980 charges derail that hearing? Could they even sink his confirmation? Could they? I don't know. We're

00:21:54.920 just asking questions. I'm Jake Tapper, a serious journalist, not like those deranged conspiracy

00:22:00.360 theorists who those deranged conspiracy theorists who are playing videos of Joe Biden. No, no, I'm not

00:22:05.880 like that. I'm just completely inventing stories about a federal judge gang raping people based on

00:22:12.900 nothing. Jake Tapper, deranged conspiracy theorist. The media, obviously, or I mean, look, we could, we, 0.96

00:22:21.040 we actually have to move on because we, because we can talk about the media as an example of this

00:22:25.060 for probably six years straight, never taking a break and we wouldn't finish. That's the clearest

00:22:30.500 example. When you see what's going on on television and you see what's going on in real life with your own

00:22:35.320 two eyes. When you realize that those two things are not the same, then that's the beginning of what

00:22:41.080 Elon Musk might call a red pill moment. You also see it though, outside of the media, you see it in law

00:22:46.400 and public advocacy. A great example of this is the ACLU. There was a new policy that came down from

00:22:54.160 Betsy DeVos at the Department of Education, which is now finally protecting the rights of the accused on

00:22:59.900 college campuses. The accused were having their due process rights completely trampled by kangaroo 0.96

00:23:05.920 courts of leftist professors, rather than, you know, having, even having these charges brought up in

00:23:10.760 the criminal justice system. Betsy DeVos changes that. The ACLU, the American Civil Liberties Union,

00:23:17.600 comes out swinging against the accused, against due process in favor of the narrative. We'll get to that

00:23:26.540 in just one second. First, though, I got to thank our friends over at ExpressVPN talking about your

00:23:30.780 civil liberties and privacy rights. Right now, you're probably online more than ever, aren't you?

00:23:37.360 I know I am. Hackers have all the time in the world. That is not a great combination. You've heard

00:23:44.220 me talk about how important it is to have a VPN. I don't go online without a VPN. Now that a lot of you

00:23:50.180 are working from home, you're going to see why it matters so much too. You got to use the VPN that I

00:23:54.660 trust, which is ExpressVPN. It's the best VPN on the market. ExpressVPN doesn't log your data.

00:24:01.340 Lots of really cheap or free VPNs make money by selling your data to ad companies. ExpressVPN

00:24:05.480 developed technology called Trusted Server. It makes it impossible for their servers to log any of your

00:24:10.440 info. Speed, or I've tried a lot of VPNs. A lot of them slow down your connection. They make it sluggish.

00:24:15.980 ExpressVPN does not do that. My internet speeds are always blazing fast. Even when I connect to servers

00:24:20.980 thousands of miles away, I can stream HD quality videos with zero lag. It's just really, really

00:24:25.420 great. You got to protect your, yourself online. Use my link, expressvpn.com slash Michael, M-I-C-H-A-E-L.

00:24:43.600 Betsy DeVos comes out, changes this rule, right? So on college campuses, we're told, 0.68

00:24:47.960 what is it, one in four girls is sexually assaulted on campus. Makes basically Harvard 0.96

00:24:54.820 Yard more dangerous than downtown Fallujah or something. These numbers are based on totally

00:25:01.800 cooked bogus statistics where the people who were taking the surveys very frequently will not realize

00:25:08.400 that they've been sexually assaulted based on the criteria in the surveys. So based on those numbers,

00:25:13.520 we've been told that, you know, we've got to trample over the due process rights of the accused

00:25:19.180 on college campuses. And instead of having rape, which is obviously very serious crime,

00:25:25.300 should be dealt with in the criminal justice system. Instead of having it treated seriously

00:25:28.680 there, it's treated frivolously by panels of professors and left-wing deans and deputy assistant,

00:25:34.820 deputy deputy dean of leftist inclusion and diversity on campuses. They just trample over

00:25:39.720 these kids' rights. They will expel people from school. And when I say people, I mean boys,

00:25:45.940 because they're the ones being accused. They will expel them from school without any sort of due

00:25:49.960 process. So obviously you can't tolerate that. And frankly, we shouldn't have professors adjudicating

00:25:55.640 questions of rape anyway. They're not qualified to do that. They don't have any training to do that. 1.00

00:26:01.380 So we should put this in the criminal justice system. Betsy DeVos makes a few tweaks to it to 1.00

00:26:05.540 protect the rights of the accused. ACLU furious. DeVos is rolling back protections for sexual

00:26:11.440 harassment and assault survivors in schools. We're suing to put a stop to it. So the ACLU is actually

00:26:17.620 suing because the Department of Education wants to protect civil rights. There are two levels here.

00:26:27.520 Some people look at that and say, wait a second, this doesn't make any sense because the ACLU is the

00:26:33.100 American Civil Liberties Union. And sometimes in the past, they protected civil liberties. So it's

00:26:37.900 so wacky, I can't possibly understand why they would come out against civil liberties. That's one

00:26:42.360 level. And then you get a little more red-pilled understanding and you realize that the ACLU was

00:26:48.600 never about civil liberties. It was always about radical leftism. Explicitly, it was about communism.

00:26:54.420 The founder of the ACLU, Roger Baldwin, was a communist. He wrote a book called Liberty Under the

00:27:00.100 Soviets in 1928. He didn't write that ironically. It sounds like it was a precursor to my blank book,

00:27:07.360 Reasons to Vote for Democrats. You think of the same exact content, Reasons to Vote for Democrats

00:27:11.460 and Liberty Under the Soviets. But it was a serious book making the argument for liberty under that

00:27:18.660 communist regime. In 1943, the California Committee on American Activities said that the ACLU, quote,

00:27:24.620 may be definitely classed as a communist front. At least 90% of the efforts of the ACLU early on,

00:27:32.880 and perhaps even since then, have been expended on behalf of communists who come into conflict with

00:27:38.780 the law. The Daily Worker, the communist newspaper, wrote glowingly about the ACLU early on, okay?

00:27:44.720 The thing wasn't what it said it was. The news isn't the news, and the ACLU isn't about civil

00:27:50.940 liberties. It's just about radical leftism. When you realize that, then it starts to make sense.

00:27:55.500 The ACLU came out strongly against Brett Kavanaugh and trampling his civil liberties on behalf of

00:28:01.500 unsubstantiated allegations, and they're doing it again now. It's fine. We can either, you know,

00:28:07.400 express shock and indignation over this for months and months and years and years, or we can realize

00:28:12.400 that that thing is corrupt intrinsically and ignore it, rip it down, do something else. It's not just

00:28:19.620 even in legal advocacy. We're seeing this kind of red pilling in education, and we're seeing President

00:28:25.100 Trump pushing back against it. We'll get to that in one second. First, though, I've got to thank

00:28:28.900 you. I've got to thank you, one, for, you know, becoming members at Daily Wire. Also, thank you for

00:28:34.660 subscribing to my YouTube channel. Not just the Daily Wire YouTube channel, but the Michael Knowles

00:28:39.120 Show YouTube channel. I didn't even realize, really, that I had a YouTube channel. Somebody else made it,

00:28:45.260 I guess, you know, and they, but no one was really paying any attention to it, and so we've started

00:28:49.520 putting some breakout segments and some exclusive interviews and some bonus stories on there that we

00:28:54.160 didn't get to during the show, and now a lot of people are going over and joining, so head on over

00:28:58.200 to that Michael Knowles Show YouTube channel. Click subscribe. Also, I got some great news. Remember,

00:29:03.700 we were selling, no, we're not selling, we were giving away two Leftist Tears Tumblers a little while back.

00:29:09.820 Now, we're bringing back the two Tumblers, but it's only available for our most exclusive membership

00:29:16.060 tier, All Access. The All Access membership tier is the premier level of membership. All Access

00:29:22.340 members get to participate in All Access Live, our brand new interactive programming featuring one of

00:29:27.240 us as we hang out with you each night, which 99.9% of the time goes great, except the last time I tried

00:29:32.920 to do it, the internet in my neighborhood completely crapped out, but other than that, it goes over great.

00:29:38.040 It's been a lot of fun. You get Q&A discussions available both on the website and the Daily

00:29:42.340 Wire app. Now you get, not just one, but where's my second one? I guess we already gave it away.

00:29:46.780 Oh no, here it is. You get both of the Leftist Tears Tumblers, and you, my friends, are going to need

00:29:51.920 it because the red pills are flowing, and when the Elon Musk red pills start flowing, then the natural

00:30:00.140 consequence, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. I learned that from, you know, kind of

00:30:05.620 really brilliant engineer guys like Elon Musk, the opposite reaction is filling up the Leftist

00:30:11.020 Tears. Go to dailywire.com. We'll be right back with a lot more.

00:30:25.620 You see the red pilling in the media. You see the red pilling in legal advocacy. You're also seeing it

00:30:30.640 in education. Homeschooling has become very popular in recent years, much, much more popular

00:30:36.260 than in past years. School choice has become more popular. People want to break out of this monopoly

00:30:41.780 of government education, and as that is happening, the government is trying to take more and more power.

00:30:47.760 So even if they can't expand the percentage of kids that they're getting, they want to expand the

00:30:52.700 timeline. So for instance, when I was, you know, when my father was a kid, you didn't have to go to

00:30:59.980 kindergarten. That was kind of a new thing. And so he just went straight to first grade.

00:31:03.420 Then when I was a kid, you had kindergarten, but I didn't go to like preschool or anything like that.

00:31:08.000 And now kids go to preschool at age four or age three. I've even heard of people sending their

00:31:12.220 two-year-olds to preschool, right? So you extend the amount of time that the government gets with

00:31:17.480 your kids. And that even if it's private preschool, that the, the kind of liberal apparatus

00:31:23.780 gets with your kids. Then now they want everybody to go to college, even if they're going to go

00:31:27.980 way into debt, even if they're going to get a worthless degree that deprives them both of

00:31:32.280 education and job prospects. They just want to keep you in those, that, that state liberal institution

00:31:38.220 longer. Obviously in COVID, people are going to have to start homeschooling and Harvard is having

00:31:43.840 none of it. The elite academic apparatus is trying to shut down homeschooling. You heard from this

00:31:48.740 woman, Elizabeth Bartholet. She's a Harvard law school professor. She came out and basically said she 1.00

00:31:54.600 wants homeschooling banned. Now she's got another article. Uh, this was published in the Harvard

00:32:00.220 Gazette, a warning on homeschooling, nationally renowned child welfare expert, Elizabeth Bartholet.

00:32:07.080 You know how great those experts are. We've been talking about them a lot on the show in the last

00:32:10.180 few weeks, those experts, you can't question them. So, so I don't know what it is that makes her an 0.98

00:32:14.820 expert, but that Harvard says she's an expert. So she is, she wants to see a radical transformation

00:32:18.680 in homeschooling. She argues that the lack of regulation in the homeschooling system poses a

00:32:25.620 threat to children in society. So we've got to shut it down. Two points she makes on homeschooling. 0.97

00:32:32.720 Both of, one is more laughable than the next. She says behind the rapid growth of the homeschooling

00:32:38.680 movement is the growth in the conservative evangelical movement. Dun, dun, dun, not those evangelicals,

00:32:46.500 not those conservatives. Conservative Christians wanted the chance to bring their children up with 0.75

00:32:51.160 their values and belief systems. And so homeschooling is a way to escape from the secular education in

00:32:56.660 public schools. Yeah. Well, no, it's not a way to escape from secular education because the secular

00:33:04.020 education is all around us in the culture, in the government, in the law, everywhere, right?

00:33:09.020 But it's a way to have an alternative. So you're going to get bombarded with secular liberalism all day

00:33:13.560 long, but maybe you can get a little bit of an alternative in homeschool.

00:33:16.500 They fought the battle with public school systems to have their children exempted from exposure to

00:33:24.080 alternative values in the schools and lost. That part, she gets completely backwards.

00:33:28.600 The whole reason for homeschooling is to show children an alternative. This apparatus of media

00:33:35.720 and legal advocacy and education and Hollywood and everything together, that is the monolithic

00:33:43.540 liberal secular culture that you're being bombarded with 24-7. So going to church, which they're not

00:33:51.560 allowing us to do right now, and they're exploiting COVID as a reason to shut down churches and arrest

00:33:55.820 pastors, or doing homeschooling, which they don't want to allow us to do. Some of the great legal child

00:34:02.120 welfare education experts want to ban that sort of thing. That would be the alternative. And yet they

00:34:11.360 don't want an alternative. They don't want any competition to their system, to their narrative.

00:34:15.500 They don't want you to take the red pill. So the Gazette asks this Professor Bartholet,

00:34:20.500 could you compare the homeschooling phenomenon in the U.S. to other countries? And here is the part

00:34:24.600 where you, you can't even believe that they're this unselfaware. Because if we look at what goes

00:34:31.520 on in other countries, the U.S. stands out as an anomaly. When other countries allow homeschooling,

00:34:36.120 they regulate it much more strictly. They demand that parents show they are qualified to teach

00:34:41.040 and that they turn in the curricula they plan to use to the state. So these other countries,

00:34:46.860 they basically make homeschooling just a facet of the state. So it really can't really provide an

00:34:52.360 authentically alternative possibility toward the kind of shallow leftist education that people are

00:34:59.760 getting now because the state's got to sign off on it. And then here's the money line. They also mandate

00:35:05.840 that the homeschooling curriculum provides an education equivalent to public school and includes

00:35:11.100 teaching about the fundamental values of our society. Some countries, like Germany, effectively ban

00:35:19.560 homeschooling. In the U.S., there is essentially no effective regulation. So I'm a little bit of a history

00:35:27.120 buff, you know. And I got friends in Germany. I've quite a bit of respect for some elements of German

00:35:35.200 culture. But Germany's got a little bit of a checkered past, you know, on history and everything. So whenever I

00:35:41.760 see Germany did it, and that's why we should do it too, I just, I Google. You know, I just want to double 0.84

00:35:47.300 check. Okay. So I Googled and I tried to figure out when did Germany effectively ban homeschooling

00:35:53.040 altogether? Under what notoriously mustachioed regime with that screaming guy did they ban 0.59

00:36:03.180 homeschooling? And yeah, you guessed it. It would be, it would be the Nazis. So, so the left, think

00:36:09.320 about how perverse this is. When a guy like Elon Musk says, hey, I'm, I'm taking the red pill. I'm

00:36:14.980 questioning the official narrative. I'm thinking of alternative ways to envision society and education

00:36:20.480 and all that. When you say that, they call you a Nazi. But when you explicitly endorse

00:36:29.160 Nazi policies and, and admit that they're Nazi policies, you say, I want to do what the Germans 0.99

00:36:35.120 did in the thirties. Then you're not a Nazi. Then you're a good, wonderful, liberal, open-minded

00:36:41.720 person. And, and they won't get called out for it because, because the education is so

00:36:49.220 weak, even in places like Harvard, which was once one of the top universities in the country.

00:36:56.280 That's the, you know, and by the way, it'd be one thing if the education that people were

00:37:00.040 getting were a decent education, but it's not. We know that it's not. We know that it's shallow,

00:37:05.920 that they're hollowing out the educational system. That, that was the cause for the rise of

00:37:09.460 homeschooling in the first place. So what's the red pill? The news isn't the news. The ACLU isn't

00:37:14.300 for civil liberties. Education isn't about education. The ideological system that we are living in

00:37:19.620 is corrupt. It's really, really, really corrupt. It's transparently corrupt. It's decadently

00:37:26.160 corrupt. So when the system is basically working, when it's relatively honest, we can play by the rules.

00:37:34.860 We kind of go along with it. Even though we think Walter Cronkite's kind of a big lib,

00:37:39.760 we just go along with it. We all go along to get along. We can be nice. We can be polite. We can

00:37:43.740 be genial. When the system becomes too corrupt, too transparently dishonest, then we need to stop

00:37:51.660 playing by the rules. And that's what Trump does. And that's why Trump, I guess in a, in a certain sense

00:37:56.220 is the great dispenser of the so-called red pills. Because Donald Trump, he does not, he doesn't play

00:38:03.580 like a Democrat and he doesn't play like a Republican used to play back when we all just

00:38:09.540 went along to get along and were nice and genial and Republicans would lose a little bit more slowly

00:38:13.620 than they would have lost otherwise. Trump doesn't do that. Trump, Trump, you know, is now pursuing

00:38:19.320 through the department of justice. So he, you know, in the executive branch through the department of

00:38:24.420 justice, they are pursuing all these crimes that took place at the end of 2016, at the end of the

00:38:29.940 Obama administration. Things like the unmasking of Michael Flynn, things like spying, illegal spying

00:38:35.800 on the Trump campaign, all of these shenanigans in the deep state. Obama's coming out swinging because

00:38:43.220 I think Obama thinks that the best defense sometimes is a good offense. And he's really nervous at that.

00:38:48.220 All of the trails point back to Barack Obama, knowing about a lot of these nefarious, unprecedented,

00:38:53.720 possibly criminal activities. So Obama's going really hard after Trump. You know, in the old

00:39:00.000 days, the president would refrain from criticizing his successor. That's what Bush did. Bush refrained

00:39:06.400 from criticizing Obama. They all, oh, they played along really nice. But that's not what happens

00:39:12.060 when it comes to Trump because Trump is actually threatening their corrupt ideological system. So

00:39:18.100 Obama goes yelling, he's saying all awful things about Trump. In the genial nice, in the old

00:39:23.680 way, in the sort of Bush administration way, they wouldn't have come out swinging. They'd

00:39:28.780 say, well, Mr. Obama has his opinion. We have ours, but they wouldn't come out swinging.

00:39:32.960 They ask Donald Trump about this. He goes, yeah, Obama's totally incompetent. That's just 0.99

00:39:36.840 the way he is. 1.00

00:39:41.800 Look, he was an incompetent president. That's all I can say. Grossly incompetent. Thank you. 0.99

00:39:53.660 That's the full statement. I'd like to make a full statement. He's, he's completely incompetent. Thank

00:39:59.840 you very much. And then he walks away. People are shocked. They clutch their pearls on the left and the

00:40:04.700 right. That's not how presidents are supposed to talk about other presidents.

00:40:08.640 Well, Barack Obama started it. Didn't he? Barack Obama started this fight

00:40:12.980 because he's getting a little nervous because of the investigations into his wrongdoing.

00:40:18.760 But according to the old system of rules, the Republicans are supposed to just hang back. Oh,

00:40:24.220 it's okay. Look, the, the media is unfair to us. Yeah. You know, the ACLU is unfair to us. Yeah.

00:40:29.740 The education system is unfair to us. Yeah. Hollywood's unfair to us. Yeah. The bureaucracy

00:40:34.860 is unfair to us, but Hey, that's just, that's just the system and we wouldn't want to be impolite.

00:40:40.360 So I guess we just got to go along with it. You can only push that so far. You can only tolerate

00:40:47.700 that tension between the official narrative and the reality so far before you say, no, we're just

00:40:53.320 going to reject it. We're done with that. What's your response? You know, the, what, what the press

00:40:59.000 was waiting for was some kind of really nuanced statement from Trump and he's going to resist

00:41:04.740 attacking Obama. And no, he's just, no. Yeah. Obama is incompetent. He should have added the word

00:41:10.780 corrupt to that. And we're, we're not going to play by those rules anymore. James Woods, great actor,

00:41:18.160 great political observer. He tweeted out this observation. Let's face it. Donald Trump is a rough,

00:41:23.500 individual. He is vain, insensitive, and raw, but he loves America more than any president in my 0.96

00:41:30.220 lifetime. He's the last firewall between us and the cesspool called Washington. I'll take him any day

00:41:35.020 over any of these bums, Trump 2020. And Trump tweets it. He retweets it. He goes, I think that

00:41:41.900 is a great compliment. Thank you, James. James also insulted him here. He said he's vain, insensitive,

00:41:49.560 and raw. Right? So, you know, there, there's this story. There's this idea that, that Donald Trump

00:41:58.560 is, he's a hair trigger. He's so sensitive that he's gonna, you know, if you would say any even

00:42:05.400 remote criticism of him, he's gonna lash out at you. No, uh, in this tweet, James Woods did criticize

00:42:11.860 him. To call somebody vain is a, you know, that's, that is actually a harsh criticism.

00:42:18.440 But I don't, I don't, I think Trump actually has, in a way, a sort of humility. I mean,

00:42:21.880 he's joked about this a few times. I remember famously, he was asked about drinking beer. He

00:42:26.680 said, I'm the only president who's never had a beer. It's the only good thing you can say about

00:42:30.140 me. Could you imagine if I drank beer? Oh, I'd be the worst. If I was a drunk, you know? And it's,

00:42:34.640 like, that does show a little self-awareness to say, the only good thing you can say about me is

00:42:39.740 I don't drink beer. He, Trump knows who he is. He knows what kind of guy he is. He knows that in

00:42:44.600 normal times, when we're all playing genially by the system, there is no Trump, right? Don't forget,

00:42:49.340 Trump has been interested in being president since the 80s. But the times were not ready for Trump

00:42:54.300 in the 80s or the 90s, or even in the 2000s. He's, he, he threatened to run for president a few

00:42:59.780 times in the 80s and in 2000 and 2012. But then this is the moment. This is that red pill moment

00:43:05.900 where people say, okay, all the nice nuance, subtlety, charm, you know, Marques of Queensbury

00:43:15.460 rules that we all played by. Trump can't win in that, in that situation. But now we're past that.

00:43:21.700 Now that difference is between the reality and the illusion has gotten so big that we're ready for a guy

00:43:26.980 like Trump. And a great counter example to this is Justin Amash. Do you know who Justin Amash is?

00:43:33.320 Probably not. He's this former Republican congressman who got his feelings hurt by Donald

00:43:40.200 Trump. And so he left the Republican party. He's the only one who voted for, you know, impeachment,

00:43:45.580 that sort of thing. But he's not a Republican, so it doesn't really count, you know. Amash said he was

00:43:51.520 going to run for president. He wanted to run for president on the Libertarian party ticket.

00:43:56.980 And he was so excited because he's going to take down Trump. It's the most important thing to take

00:44:00.600 down Trump. He only announced this a few weeks ago. Now he's already ending his campaign. What

00:44:06.160 happened? Here's the, here's the quote. Thanks for your support as I've been exploring a run for

00:44:10.160 president as a potential nominee of the Libertarian party. I've spent nearly three decades or three

00:44:14.140 decades, three weeks assessing the race, appearing in media, talking to delegates and donors, watching

00:44:18.940 the Libertarian party's convention plan unfold and gathering feedback from family, friends,

00:44:22.820 and other advisors. After much reflection, I've concluded that circumstances don't lend themselves

00:44:28.380 to my success as a candidate for president this year. Therefore I will not be a candidate. Pause

00:44:33.660 there for one second. If it requires you much reflection to realize that the Libertarian party

00:44:41.600 candidate for president isn't going to win whoever the candidate is, then you're probably farther gone

00:44:48.540 than, than you thought. You might need a whole lot of reflection on a whole lot of other things that

00:44:52.700 you're thinking. He goes on. This was a difficult decision for me, especially having seen grassroots

00:44:57.420 supporters put so much effort into this campaign. Pause there again. Justin Amash does not have a

00:45:03.260 single grassroots supporter. Not one. He has like old weekly standard guys, like a couple of them,

00:45:09.320 who are really upset at how much they hate Trump pushing him to run. He does not,

00:45:14.500 he does not have a grassroots supporter. Okay. It's been humbling and awesome. Justin Amash. Wouldn't

00:45:20.980 call him a humble guy, but Joe, that's just from what I see on TV. Today, most Americans are

00:45:25.500 understandably more interested in what life will look like tomorrow than they are in broader policy

00:45:30.580 debates. And news coverage has reflected these priorities. At the same time, fundraising challenges

00:45:35.680 posed by an idle economy will hinder advertising. So I actually think that the money line here, the most

00:45:39.980 important line to look at is that last one. It's not all the BS about, oh, people really wanted me

00:45:44.900 to run and I, I was really going to become president until, you know, I guess I won't, but, but I was

00:45:51.060 close. I was the man who was almost president. That line there at the end today, most Americans are more

00:45:57.800 interested in what life will look like tomorrow than they are in broader policy debates. And so I,

00:46:02.980 therefore I won't run is to say that my campaign is a joke. And when, when everything is perfectly fine

00:46:11.980 and we all have the luxury and the decadence to think about stupid nonsense, like the Justin Amash 0.99

00:46:17.180 presidential campaign, then I really stand a chance. Then I should really run. But during real times, 0.99

00:46:23.280 when people have real problems, then I certainly can't run.

00:46:26.280 That is Justin Amash style conservatism and even more damning. The other reason that he's not

00:46:36.360 running, there were a lot of people, actually some of the old weekly standard people and some of the

00:46:41.140 hardcore remaining never Trumpers who they were the people who would have liked Justin Amash as a

00:46:48.960 candidate, but they actually came out against him once he said he might run because they said he might

00:46:55.400 help reelect Trump. They thought that Amash would not take votes away from Donald Trump. Not a single

00:47:01.540 Donald Trump supporter was going to vote for that guy. Not a chance, but he might take votes away from

00:47:06.580 Joe Biden because Joe Biden is this completely desiccated, declining, doddering guy who was not

00:47:14.440 impressive even when he was with it and who now has these, you know, kind of creepy allegations against

00:47:20.320 him. So they might vote for Amash. That might help Trump win. And so Justin Amash, who would have

00:47:25.880 called himself pro-liberty, pro-freedom, he would have counted himself on the right even just a few

00:47:32.780 weeks ago. The proximate, urgent reason why he dropped out of the race is because he might hurt the

00:47:39.400 left-wing candidate and help the genuinely right-wing candidate. That is some weak sauce.

00:47:46.620 All right. And that is the difference between the red pill and the blue pill. The red pill is Trump

00:47:50.440 and the blue pill is Justin Amash. You know, the sort of genial loser who exists specifically not to 0.98

00:47:57.760 upset the liberal ideological system. Okay. And the red pill is shaking that up and very basically saying, 0.95

00:48:06.540 I don't believe what I'm seeing on TV. I don't believe what I'm being told.

00:48:11.920 And the proof of this, of course, is that the minute you even mention questioning the narrative,

00:48:17.260 you use a phrase like the red pill, all of a sudden the, the mainstream media, the one who

00:48:22.680 wants you to believe their narrative, they're saying, Hey, look, some Nazi once used the phrase

00:48:26.020 blue pill. So you're a Nazi. Don't question us. Listen to what we're saying 24 seven, even if it's, 0.80

00:48:31.080 even if it's not true. Well, sorry guys, I think the genie's out of the bottle and I don't think it's

00:48:35.660 just hardcore conservatives who are, who are recognizing the lies of that leftist ideology.

00:48:43.520 I think it's guys like Elon Musk who might now move his businesses actually out of California

00:48:48.180 because of those leftist policies. I think it's guys like Joe Rogan. I think it's a lot of people

00:48:51.840 who are more in the middle, who are a little more independent. Uh, they're beginning to wake up to

00:48:55.840 that. And that is a wonderful thing. Gosh, those pills go down great. Don't they? That's our show.

00:49:01.360 Got a lot more to get to. We'll do it tomorrow. In the meantime, I'm Michael Knowles. This is
