Okay. I was really thinking about doing today's show without any video. It was just going to be
00:00:04.740
a black screen and just audio. I promise you I was thinking about it because I know that I need
00:00:09.720
to signal to everybody what a good person I am and how much I support black lives matter. Cause
00:00:14.280
those two things obviously exactly the same. And I just wanted to be like all of the white
00:00:19.960
liberal slacktivists who were on Instagram yesterday, but I got in trouble. I'm sure you
00:00:26.480
saw a lot of just, when you're scrolling on Instagram or social media, you saw black squares
00:00:31.940
and it was a black square to black out for black lives matter. But I got in trouble because I just
00:00:37.440
got it wrong. I posted a black square with a rainbow on it because I was confused. I didn't know if I
00:00:43.140
was supposed to post a black square for black lives matter or a rainbow for pride month. I didn't know
00:00:47.940
which way was going to be the best way to show my liberal piety to everybody because the secular
00:00:53.820
liturgical calendar is so confusing. Then a friend messaged me when I posted this, he said,
00:00:59.220
Michael, that's, that's very offensive. That's a liberal friend of mine, but you know, nice guy.
00:01:04.380
He says, Michael, it's very offensive what you just did. You, you can't, it looks like almost like
00:01:09.820
you don't support black lives matter, which now we all have to support. I think they passed a
00:01:14.200
constitutional amendment. Isn't it required that you support black lives matter? But I don't support
00:01:18.480
black lives matter because I think black lives matter peddles lies and harms a lot of people.
00:01:25.020
Ironically, most especially black people. We've got the tapes to show you that I promise you,
00:01:30.860
you are not going to see on the mainstream media. I'm Michael Knowles and this is the Michael Knowles
00:01:34.920
I'm always getting in trouble on social media. I just don't know how to speak liberal. I don't
00:01:47.940
know. I guess I just don't know how to be in the liberal culture. I'm going to let you in
00:01:51.620
on a little secret that no one seems to know about black lives matter. But first I've got to thank our
00:01:57.300
newest sponsor that I am giddy with excitement to thank. That sponsor is Thompson Cigar Company.
00:02:05.120
This is a company that I have been a customer of for 14 years. I've been a customer of Thompson
00:02:11.480
Cigars since my mother bought me my first box of cigars when I was but a wee lad. You know that this
00:02:18.520
is my favorite hobby. Maybe it's my only hobby is smoking premium cigars. I love them. It's the best
00:02:25.900
way to relax. It's the best way to relax with friends. It's a great social equalizer. It's also a
00:02:31.440
great way to relax just on your own. I love smoking a cigar on my own. I had one from Thompson Cigar
00:02:37.120
just yesterday. It was a Padron 1926 cigar. Absolutely fabulous. They sent me an incredible
00:02:42.560
sampler pack of some great stuff. Davidoff, Churchill Late Hour, some Liga Privada, some
00:02:50.180
Oliva Milano. I mean just amazing cigars. That's what Thompson's kind of known for is their sampler
00:02:56.040
packs. They got the five pack fever program. It includes just great, great deals. Head on over
00:03:00.260
right now for a limited time. Thompson's offering 15% off orders over 75 bucks or 20% off orders over
00:03:06.240

that website, Thompson, T-H-O-M-P-S-O-N cigar.com, use promo code Knowles. I'm going to let you in on
00:03:23.160
the little secret. Nobody thinks that black lives don't matter. Nobody thinks that. Many people think
00:03:32.900
that many other people think that black lives don't matter. See, many people think that there
00:03:38.900
are all these bad people who obviously aren't them because we, we're all just such wonderful
00:03:43.380
people. But there are, there are many, many other really bad people who think that black lives don't
00:03:47.860
matter. And that's why we've got to post the black square to show all those really bad people out there
00:03:52.660
that, that we know that black lives matter. But the thing is, the thing is every single person thinks
00:03:58.220
that black lives matter. You know how you know that? Because of your Instagram feed yesterday,
00:04:02.820
because of social media, because everybody was doing it. Black lives matter is not about convincing
00:04:11.460
people that black lives matter. Okay. Everybody is convinced of that. Everybody with any influence
00:04:17.780
in anything believes that black lives matter. Everybody, virtually everybody in government,
00:04:22.860
media, virtually everybody in corporate America is actively promoting the black lives matter movement,
00:04:28.220
not even just the idea that black lives matter. Black lives matter is not about convincing people
00:04:33.880
black lives matter. It's about pushing a radical agenda, radical leftist agenda that peddles lies.
00:04:39.800
Black lives matter. Black lives matter is founded on a lie. The foundational lie of black lives matter
00:04:44.420
is that there is an epidemic in this country of racist whites hunting down black men every time they
00:04:51.040
leave their homes. That's what LeBron James said just the other day. And the, the specific lie of this
00:04:55.820
is that it's racist white cops who are hunting down black men. The, the most specific version of this
00:05:05.280
is Michael Brown. There was this lie that in Ferguson, Missouri, officer Darren Wilson hunted down Michael
00:05:13.980
Brown, who was completely innocent. He wasn't doing anything. He was down on his knees with his hands up
00:05:20.060
and he said, don't shoot. And that cold blooded killer, Darren Wilson killed him anyway. And none of
00:05:25.480
that happened. We know that none of that happened. What really happened is Michael Brown robbed a store,
00:05:32.200
reached into Darren Wilson's car, grabbed his gun. The gun went off. Michael Brown goes away. Then he
00:05:38.380
turns around and charges back at Darren Wilson. And only then does Darren Wilson fire his gun. This is
00:05:44.480
backed up by multiple autopsies. This is backed up by many eyewitnesses, black eyewitnesses. This is backed
00:05:50.660
up by a grand jury report. The story that black lives matter based its whole movement on is a
00:05:55.520
complete fabrication. Okay. Beyond that, we know the idea that there's this scourge, this epidemic of
00:06:02.620
racist whites nationwide hunting down innocent black men isn't true. You can just look at the
00:06:07.380
statistics that, that simply is not the case. The specific lie that cops are gunning down innocent
00:06:11.980
black men, also not true. There's a good piece on this out in the wall street journal from Heather
00:06:15.980
McDonald today. Here are the numbers from 2019. Obviously the most recent numbers we can get
00:06:20.280
375 million annual contacts between police officers and civilians, police officers of all races,
00:06:28.180
civilians of all races. In 2019, police officers fatally shot 1,004 people, most of whom were armed
00:06:35.220
and dangerous, right? Because the cops don't particularly enjoy going around shooting people,
00:06:42.240
right? Even, even if you think that they're these psychopath cops, certainly they don't want to
00:06:47.160
be caught up in, in a scandal and some media firestorm because they've had to discharge their
00:06:52.400
weapon. A quarter of the people who were killed by cops in 2019 were black, which Heather points out
00:07:00.340
is lower than the crime rate would predict. Police fatally shot nine unarmed black men and, or nine
00:07:08.100
unarmed black people, but that's almost anonymous with men. Uh, and 19 unarmed white men in 2019.
00:07:14.860
There aren't too many young girls going around committing, you know, very violent armed crimes.
00:07:19.540
Even unarmed here does not necessarily tell the whole story because it includes a case such as this
00:07:24.340
in Newark, New Jersey of a guy who had a loaded gun in his car during a police chase. So was he
00:07:29.100
unarmed when he was shot? I guess so technically, but I mean, not really. They did have a loaded gun in
00:07:34.460
the car during a police chase. We know, and this is a statistic that's going around for a long time.
00:07:39.260
A police officer is 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black man than vice versa.
00:07:47.040
Now, what the media want to tell you is that they're going to peddle those lies. Then they're
00:07:53.980
going to tell you the lie about the, the operation of black lives matter itself, which is that the
00:07:58.760
protests are completely different from the looting and the rioting and the arson and the assault and the
00:08:03.760
murder. And the thing is, they're not, they're not. I'm not saying that there aren't peaceful
00:08:08.960
protesters. Of course there are peaceful protesters. What I am saying is the so-called peaceful protests
00:08:14.880
and the looting and the rioting and the arson and all of that overlap. They overlap almost perfectly.
00:08:21.800
There, there's no, what they're actually trying to tell us right now is that even though the looting
00:08:26.620
and the arson and the riots and the murder is happening in the same place at the same time for
00:08:32.020
ostensibly the same reason as the peaceful protests, they're totally different. That is simply not the
00:08:36.840
case. Isn't it a weird coincidence is what the media keeps saying. The peaceful protest unexpectedly
00:08:43.360
turned violent. How many times does it have to happen before it's no longer unexpected? I, I'm no
00:08:51.800
prophet, you know, I'm, I'm now Nostradamus predicting the future, but I can guess that where most of this
00:08:59.520
civil unrest is happening, they're just going to be looting and riots and arson.
00:09:04.860
The final nail in the coffin of this lie that the protests are completely peaceful, Black Lives Matter,
00:09:10.580
totally peaceful. And then, yeah, there are a couple of bad apples who just happened to burn down a lot
00:09:14.440
of American cities. Uh, they're a rare exception. They, they don't, they don't characterize the movement.
00:09:19.880
Actually, the final nail in that lie came from the celebrity Idris Elba, the actor Idris Elba, who posted
00:09:28.940
his, his square. And then he wrote this quote, quote, this ain't a movie ain't calling cut. We cutting the
00:09:36.820
throat of the old system. So if you ain't with us, then you better run new breed. I don't know where this,
00:09:43.940
uh, poetry comes from. I'm not sure. It's not probably not Wordsworth or something, but, uh,
00:09:48.820
he posts this line of very violent rhetoric. Now you might say, Michael, it's just a metaphor
00:09:55.180
because he says he's, he's cutting the throat. Sure. But he says he's cutting the throat of the
00:09:59.700
old system. So he's not cutting the throat of people. It's the old system. Yeah. Except in the
00:10:04.480
next line, he says, so if you ain't with us, you better run, uh, run from what? Why are we going to run?
00:10:11.400
Oh, because, because all of this rhetoric is incredibly violent. Unlike the mainstream media, unlike
00:10:20.960
celebrities of all races, unlike liberals, black business owners know that black lives matter has
00:10:29.360
resulted in widespread violence. There's one woman I'm good. I want to draft her to run for president.
00:10:35.240
She's speaking the most common sense of maybe anybody I've seen with a public platform. And she just
00:10:40.980
happens to be a business owner on a street who got her, her shop destroyed by these rioters.
00:10:47.520
She came out and gave a, a harder, more realistic look at the black lives matter riots.
00:10:54.540
Problem that barbers me, you says black lives matter. I've worked here part time.
00:11:04.180
Plus, I'm a part owner of this store. You said black lives matter. Why don't you choke me? I'm black.
00:11:13.260
Tell him, sister. Look what you did to my store. Tell him, sister. Look. Look what you did to my store.
00:11:19.280
Tell him, sister. That's why, because I got their bags. These are my bags right here. Good men. Look at the things you've done.
00:11:24.640
Good men. Look for black lives matter. We've been here all night cleaning up. All night cleaning.
00:11:31.760
And you've got black people standing right here with them. But tell me, black lives matter.
00:11:37.720
Exactly. You lied. You wanted to loot at a store. You needed money. Get a job like I do. Stop stealing.
00:11:47.640
It's the neighborhood. We're trying to build it up and you turned it down.
00:11:53.600
Only a liberal intellectual could not understand that. That is the simplest, most precise,
00:12:01.680
most accurate statement of public policy I've seen in a long time. Black lives, you say black lives
00:12:07.880
matter. You're destroying my community and my business. You say you're doing this for black lives.
00:12:12.020
That's obviously not true. You're doing it because you want to take all my money. And instead of doing
00:12:16.220
that, instead of stealing from people, which is a sin and a crime, you should get a job. Get a job
00:12:21.680
like I do and act like a normal person in civil society. Simple enough. It would only the most
00:12:29.460
sophisticated white liberal could not understand that statement. Love that woman. I want her to run
00:12:36.940
for president. You're not supposed to see that video. You're not supposed to see videos of all of
00:12:41.000
the looting. There was one video of the looting that came out yesterday. It was being narrated by a guy
00:12:45.560
who's filming it. These people coming out of, I guess, a sneaker store. And the guy deserves an
00:12:51.580
Oscar for, for documentary filmmaking. We'll get to that in one second. First though, speaking of art,
00:12:57.180
I've got to thank our friends over at Paint Your Life. Oh, how I love Paint Your Life, which is the
00:13:02.500
perfect Father's Day gift that I could recommend in the artistic sphere. Paint Your Life, you know,
00:13:10.100
I got my stepbrother when he got married, I got him a Paint Your Life just to try it out. And this
00:13:14.380
painting was so incredibly good. An actual painting done by hand in oil from a photograph that you
00:13:20.760
upload to PaintYourLife.com. It was so good that I then was envious and regretful that I had given him
00:13:27.220
this painting because I wanted it for myself. Now I am commissioning one for myself. It's coming in
00:13:32.780
just a few weeks. PaintYourLife.com adds art to your, your home, but it's not just that generic art you
00:13:39.180
buy at some store. It's actually custom made based on a favorite photo of, you know, a family member
00:13:44.620
or of a place or a pet. I mean, it's just, just lovely. And the quality could not be better.

00:14:13.220
Paint Your Life. Celebrate the moments that matter most. Not supposed to see the images of black
00:14:19.920
business owners whose livelihoods and neighborhoods have been destroyed. Not supposed to see images
00:14:23.920
of the looting because we've been told this is a peaceful protest. That's about justice.
00:14:27.600
That's about all these, all these really noble, wonderful values. And yet when we see the videos,
00:14:33.780
it looks like people are just stealing a lot of sneakers.
00:14:42.020
So you got people pouring out of this store and this guy's following a woman who's carrying some
00:14:50.760
At least show me what you got. Show me what you got since you, since you left your car.
00:14:57.720
Let's see what you got. You left your car in traffic, ma. You got right?
00:15:02.360
She's nodding, but she doesn't want to talk to him.
00:15:08.000
More people pouring out of the store, more people pouring into the store.
00:15:10.860
Come on, man. Damn, the pregnant shit got right. This s**t crazy, yo. This s**t crazy, boy.
00:15:17.840
The man who filmed and narrated that short video deserves an Academy Award. I mean,
00:15:23.540
that is some really compelling content. I think what it shows us is this is not about George Floyd.
00:15:29.360
This is not about justice or really noble values. It's just petty crime. And in some cases,
00:15:38.760
it's not so petty crime because here's the answer from the Black Lives Matter intellectual defenders,
00:15:44.660
people like Hannah Jones at the New York Times, who's behind the absolutely anti-historical trash
00:15:50.120
known as the 1619 Project, which rewrites American history and wins Pulitzer Prizes for its fiction.
00:15:55.600
The intellectuals at the New York Times, like Hannah Jones, say that actually what's happening
00:16:00.620
here, all the looting and the riots and everything, yeah, okay, it's not great, but it's not violent.
00:16:06.520
One of the things you offer is a full perspective and context, most importantly, context. When we
00:16:15.040
look at people rioting and looting, and no doubt some of the victims of the looting are going to be
00:16:20.360
businesses that are African-American businesses, how are we to interpret what we see there?
00:16:27.140
How are we to interpret what we see? Please give us that context. You're so good at context. I have
00:16:32.140
to cut it there because Hannah Jones gives the opposite of context. Hannah Jones completely
00:16:36.840
rewrites context, takes things out of context, and then occasionally just invents pieces of context
00:16:42.920
because she has lied about her central thesis in the New York Times, in the 1619 Project,
00:16:48.820
specifically on race in America. She was called out for it by academic historians. They ignored the
00:16:53.620
academic historians. They gave her the Pulitzer anyway. So with that context, here's her answer.
00:16:59.120
We need to be really careful with our language. Yes, it is disturbing to see property being destroyed.
00:17:06.560
It is disturbing to see people taking property from stores. But these are things. And violence is
00:17:14.620
when an agent of the state kneels on a man's neck until all of the life is leached out of his body.
00:17:22.540
Destroying property which can be replaced is not violence. And to put those things, to use the exact
00:17:28.920
same language, to describe those two things, I think really, um, it's not, it's not moral to do
00:17:37.020
that. It's not moral. We've got to be really careful with our language here, says the most famous liar
00:17:42.880
at the New York Times, which, you know, that's a stiff competition. So the fact that she was able to
00:17:48.120
grab that title, really impressive. Then look at what she says. She says, we shouldn't call this
00:17:54.780
violence. When you break into somebody's home or store or you rob somebody, that's not violence
00:18:01.880
because ultimately you're just taking property. So what she just said is not true. That is violence.
00:18:06.920
When you burgle somebody, it's violence. When you, when you mug somebody, it's violence. It's not
00:18:11.740
murder, but it's violence. And she's saying, so because it's not murder, you can't call it violence.
00:18:18.000
It's, there were people, I think it was actually Hannah Jones, but there were at least some people who
00:18:22.160
were rationalizing this, who said it was a symbolic taking. It was, it's not stealing. It's a symbolic
00:18:27.800
taking. Like, wow. Okay. What's, it's the symbol of your, your burglary. Okay. It's the symbol of
00:18:34.920
the, of the violent crime that you're committing. Okay. She wants to get rid of the murders that are
00:18:44.200
happening. She wants to pretend that they're not really happening. She wants you only to focus on
00:18:47.900
people stealing shoes, which is bad. That is a crime. Also there's murders happening and all of
00:18:53.860
black lives matter is more or less denying it. Here's, here's just one example. This is one guy
00:19:00.620
who at least he's been going around social media a little bit, even if the BLM supporters don't want
00:19:06.060
to acknowledge him. 77 year old St. Louis retired police captain, David Dorn. David Dorn was shot dead
00:19:13.900
by looters when he tried to get the looters to stop looting a local pawn shop. Okay. David Dorn
00:19:21.200
was a black man. His black life did not particularly matter to these rioters. These, I'm sorry, peaceful
00:19:27.660
protesters. They're the peaceful rioters. I think it's one of the peaceful looters, arsonists, rioters,
00:19:32.600
and murderers. They're very peaceful. Unexpectedly, unexpectedly they committed these crimes. David Dorn is
00:19:37.920
not the only one. Okay. There are many other people around the country. There have been many
00:19:44.180
cops who have been injured or killed in this. There were cops that I think it was what? Five
00:19:49.180
cops killed by a black lives matter supporter. Was it in Dallas during the first uprising of the
00:19:54.840
peaceful protest of black lives matter? Many, many cops. Peaceful, the peaceful protest of black
00:19:59.900
lives matter. I was walking around Los Angeles yesterday, multiple neighborhoods in Los Angeles
00:20:04.340
and all the shops are boarded up. They're boarded up because they're afraid that the peaceful rioters
00:20:10.200
are going to come in and, and rob them blind or worse or hurt them. The weirdest thing about it though
00:20:16.400
was that it had graffiti tagged on a lot of these shops in multiple neighborhoods in LA. I thought,
00:20:22.180
how is there graffiti there when the, the mobs haven't run through here yet? And it had graffiti
00:20:27.680
like BLM, black lives matter. But then I looked a little more closely. The graffiti had clearly
00:20:34.560
been put on by the shop owners because it said things on there like minority owned business,
00:20:41.860
black lives matter. We support black lives matter. Please don't rob us. Black lives matter.
00:20:49.740
We're people of POC business. Like we're not those bad white people. Go rob the white people,
00:20:54.600
but we can, but don't rob us, please. And I get it. I totally get it. If I were a shop owner right
00:21:01.620
now, I would probably graffiti all those things on my own building. One, to make it look like the
00:21:05.740
mobs had already come through here, but two, just to plead with them, please, please don't destroy
00:21:09.280
my livelihood. I just made it through two and a half months of this shutdown for coronavirus. I can
00:21:13.500
barely rub two nickels together and now you're going to take everything else I have or worse or attack
00:21:18.740
me or kill me as has happened in other places. I totally get it. But you don't have to plead for
00:21:25.320
your life and property with peaceful protesters. It's not, that's not what you do. Peaceful
00:21:31.520
protesters, you just talk, you know, you kind of hash it out and you talk. That's not what's going
00:21:36.060
on here. What's behind all this? There is something motivating this that is beyond the petty crime,
00:21:43.700
though we're seeing a lot of petty crime and not so petty crime. There's something motivating
00:21:47.660
this that is beyond the man who was killed in Minnesota, who I think at this point is
00:21:52.440
barely tangential even to the story of these riots that are going on. There were crowds in
00:21:59.140
Amsterdam, massive, huge crowds in Amsterdam, ostensibly for George Floyd. Do we really think
00:22:07.280
that on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, in Amsterdam, people who don't speak our language,
00:22:13.480
have never been to Minnesota, don't know George Floyd, don't know anything about the
00:22:19.100
racial and social makeup of the United States, that they're really, they're just so riled up
00:22:25.780
because of this sad death of a man in Minnesota that they're coming in. I don't think so.
00:22:31.500
People are torching cars in Paris right now. Now, the thing is people are always torching cars in
00:22:35.820
Paris. There's always a riot going on there. So maybe that, you know, we've, we've just got to take
00:22:40.020
that as a classic, you know, it's a day that ends in Y, but I think there's a broader political
00:22:45.100
reaction going on right now. And I think it's beyond George Floyd. And I think it's beyond even
00:22:49.320
questions of race. And I think it's beyond Minnesota. I think it is a political reaction
00:22:53.440
to and from liberalism. This whole thing is being promoted in many ways by white liberals,
00:23:01.900
specifically because they can't make sense of their political system. The best,
00:23:05.980
the best example of this, I have spent many years reading many, many books to try to understand
00:23:12.940
liberal modernity. And then yesterday I found out I, I could have avoided doing all that and
00:23:18.520
just watched one 24 second video of two white kids playing beer pong in a room and they see the
00:23:24.740
Black Lives Matter mob going by and they knock on the, on the glass and they say, we, thumbs up,
00:23:31.280
we support you. We support you. Take a listen to what happens. They're walking by, see him down
00:23:38.000
there and you see the thumbs up from the kid. He's filming it. Yeah. Thumbs up. Then I'm knocking.
00:23:44.160
Hey guys, do you notice me? No. And then they threw something from the window.
00:23:47.880
We're on your side. Oh, they threw another thing through the window.
00:23:57.160
And these stupid, stupid liberal teenage guys or the guys in their early twenties,
00:24:05.980
we're on your side. Even after they throw the second rock through the window,
00:24:09.680
you might be on their side. I don't think that those guys down there are on your side,
00:24:13.660
buster, but the kid is shocked. He goes, it doesn't make sense. I posted the, the black square.
00:24:19.180
I'm a good person. Why are you throwing rocks through my window? I'm one of, I'm the good one.
00:24:23.500
I'm not like all those many, many terrible people out there who, who think black lives don't matter.
00:24:28.280
You know, all those real people, not just those imaginary people. Yeah, I'm a good one.
00:24:33.140
Rock goes through the window anyway. What is, what is this about? Why don't they get it?
00:24:38.220
What are they not getting? What are the writers not getting? What is everybody not getting about this?
00:24:42.500
I think it's all about religion, which we will get to in one second. But first I've got to thank

00:25:53.380
What is this all about? What are the kids who get the rocks thrown through their window and they
00:26:09.500
still say, we're on your side. What are they not getting? I think this whole thing is about secular
00:26:15.940
liberals trying to use politics to answer questions that only religion can answer.
00:26:21.540
I think white privilege is a stand in for original sin. I think when they say,
00:26:27.220
I've got my white privilege, obviously I was, I was born with it. I didn't do anything to have
00:26:30.920
my white privilege, but I have it and it's bad and I feel sorry for it. And it's, it's made the world
00:26:36.760
worse. That, that, that's exactly the way to talk about original sin, but they can't talk about
00:26:40.960
original sin because they've rejected actual religion, traditional religion. And so they've got
00:26:45.620
to make this bizarre political ideology into their religion. You hear them all the time talk.
00:26:50.120
They'll say slavery is America's original sin. This is a classic liberal talking point. And it's not
00:26:55.960
true. Slavery is not America's original sin. Slavery is a very bad thing. It made the country much more
00:27:01.340
difficult to be created and to develop. And it, it, we're still haunted by it to this day. But do you
00:27:07.640
know what America's original sin is? Original sin. That's, that's the original sin. There are more sins
00:27:15.580
in America than just slavery. There are more sins, not just in America, the abstraction, but in each
00:27:22.400
of us lurking in our own hearts, every single one of us than just that. This cult of liberalism has
00:27:31.480
replaced church. Uh, mayor Bill de Blasio in New York, who I think is still the mayor, the governor of New
00:27:39.300
York threatened to remove him from office because he's doing such a bad job in, in Manhattan right
00:27:44.080
now. Mayor Bill de Blasio was asked a question at a press conference that gets right to the heart of my
00:27:50.260
thesis here. He was asked why he won't let people go to religious services because of coronavirus. Remember
00:27:56.980
that? There was this virus that they told us was really bad and we couldn't go out, but now when
00:28:00.920
it's rioters, it's fine. They said, why won't you let people go to church and synagogue, but you will
00:28:08.120
let them go out and loot fifth Avenue and mob everybody and riot. Obviously there's much more
00:28:13.160
social distancing at church than there is in these riots. And de Blasio's answer was that these riots,
00:28:19.540
these call it a race, right? You call it a riot for justice. You'd call it looting, or you can call it
00:28:25.720
a liberal riot, you know, the liberalism riot. He says that's much more important than going to
00:28:33.000
church. This is the other piece of the equation. When you see a nation, an entire nation simultaneously
00:28:41.000
grappling with an extraordinary crisis seated in 400 years of American racism, I'm sorry, that is not
00:28:49.440
the same question as the understandably aggrieved store owner or the devout religious person who wants to go
00:28:57.240
back to services. When you see somebody who's been aggrieved by 400 years of slavery, that's much, much more
00:29:02.820
important than people who want to go to church. But don't forget, a lot of the people showing up to these
00:29:08.460
protests, so-called, are white people. So even if, even if de Blasio is right, that nothing has changed since
00:29:16.600
slave days. It's just as bad now as it was in 1859 in the antebellum South for black people.
00:29:24.980
Even if that were true, and it's obviously not true, but even if it were true,
00:29:28.460
why are the little pasty white Antifa kids allowed to go? They're not aggrieved by slavery. They did not
00:29:34.040
have any ancestors who were slaves. Their ancestors weren't brought over on slave ships. They weren't,
00:29:39.320
their ancestors weren't segregated against by Jim Crow or redlining or any of those things that
00:29:44.060
you're talking about. So why do they get to go? Because it's, it's actually not a race thing here.
00:29:50.100
It's an ideological point that Bill de Blasio is making. Bill de Blasio, like so many leftists,
00:29:57.040
doesn't seem to be particularly religious. Doesn't seem to like religion very much. Actually seems
00:30:01.080
very anti-religious, anti-Christian, and specifically anti-Jewish. To, to hear this guy talk to the Jews is,
00:30:07.000
is a, is really something to behold. So de Blasio is at least honest. He's an honest radical. And he
00:30:15.440
says, it's more important to participate in these political ideological activities than to go to
00:30:20.420
church. He's not the only one. There was, there have been a few of these videos of what, I guess
00:30:27.600
they're calling them protests, but they're not. They're really more liturgical services.
00:30:31.380
One is of a whole group of white people kneeling down and begging forgiveness of a whole group of
00:30:39.220
black people standing up. Take a listen. This is in some backyard somewhere, I guess. Probably,
00:30:47.780
I don't know how many, 60, 70 white people kneeling down to maybe, I don't know, 40, 50 black people
00:30:56.600
standing up. It's kind of hard to make out what he's saying, particularly as I'm talking over it,
00:31:02.760
but even when you're listening to it normally, you can't hear it that well.
00:31:07.860
Just to watch it, there is no difference between this and a religious liturgical ritual,
00:31:15.500
right? I'm Catholic. I go to mass. Mass has lots of rituals, lots of kneeling and lots of smells and
00:31:20.600
bells, lots of things that we all do together. If I were to, I mean, they, they obviously look
00:31:25.960
different in, in terms of, you know, it's not a bunch of like liberals wearing t-shirts, you know,
00:31:31.080
looking like ruffians, but to actually look at the movements up and down, they are identically
00:31:39.160
liturgical. Same thing. There was another protest. I don't know where it was. It was just a whole huge
00:31:43.880
group, probably over a hundred white people with their hands up, sitting on the ground,
00:31:49.580
chanting mantras that are being given to them by the leader of the liberal liturgy.
00:32:01.920
I will use my voice in the most uplifting way possible.
00:32:05.180
I will use my voice in the most uplifting way possible.
00:32:08.720
And do everything in my power to educate my community.
00:32:12.460
And do everything in my power to educate my community.
00:32:16.260
I will love my black neighbors the same as my white ones.
00:32:19.620
I will love my black neighbors the same as my white ones.
00:32:22.820
Get kind of cult vibes here, don't you? That's what my friend Tyler Carden over the blaze tweeted
00:32:27.900
at. He says, is this a cult? I think this is a cult. It just reminds you, you go to church and you
00:32:33.580
say, mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. Through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault.
00:32:38.720
Or when you recite things, lord have mercy, lord have mercy, right?
00:32:42.220
That is, it is a liturgy, but it's a liturgy of this weird religion called liberalism.
00:32:45.720
And actually, there are many Black Lives Matter activists, the real ones, the hardcore ones,
00:32:52.360
who have been going off on white liberals specifically for this kind of stuff, for these,
00:32:57.380
for this slacktivism, or for these weird creepy cult rituals.
00:33:06.360
And she opens up the video, and she goes, this is ridiculous.
00:33:10.660
We told you exactly what to do, and you screwed it up.
00:33:12.800
So I think a lot of conservatives haven't been sending this video around,
00:33:15.540
because they're kind of put off by this idea of, you told me what to do.
00:33:20.220
But in the middle there, even though she's a radical leftist activist,
00:33:24.640
she makes a really good point about these white liberal slacktivists.
00:33:37.820
And y'all still find a way to do the least amount of s*** possible.
00:33:44.460
The thing that takes the least amount of effort.
00:33:47.180
And not only that, you chose something that actively does harm.
00:33:54.980
You chose to take the f***ing hashtags we're using to disseminate information
00:34:01.940
about where the cops are, about how to keep people safe,
00:34:09.260
You all take it, and you fill it up with a bunch of f***ing black squares.
00:34:20.940
Y'all just see somebody do some s***, and then I don't even understand.
00:34:25.380
How the f***ing we can't get y'all to organize around s*** else
00:34:38.960
I don't even, I don't even, I can't even comprehend
00:34:42.520
how all of you all got on the same page to do the same clown s*** thing.
00:34:49.240
So this goes on for like another three minutes,
00:34:52.280
and I recommend going to Instagram and checking it out
00:35:00.700
Okay, so we here at BLM, radical activists want to radically transform society.
00:35:08.360
That's one of the demands of Black Lives Matter.
00:35:13.040
We want to totally upend civil society and government.
00:35:32.120
I love, she, look, this woman is, is wrong about a great many things,
00:35:35.840
ideologically speaking, but she makes a great point about,
00:35:41.960
because I got a lot of flack for making my little joke
00:35:49.380
All these white liberals were very upset with me.
00:36:00.520
And so all the white liberals felt really embarrassed
00:36:04.000
and they felt sort of like they can't win for losing.
00:36:18.240
really big on all these kind of racial identity politics.
00:36:24.300
But she did it, it had like a special border or something.
00:36:27.440
Or she did it multiple times so that her Instagram feed,
00:36:30.160
which has a zillion followers, you know, she's a big celebrity.
00:36:33.560
She wanted her Instagram feed to look, look nice
00:36:42.380
Because, well, one, because it was just slacktivism,
00:36:46.160
but because she was taking so much care for herself,
00:37:04.080
to various bail funds for probably for Antifa actually,
00:37:07.680
but they think it's going to, to black protesters.
00:37:15.880
and I said, you know, you're doing all of these things,
00:37:17.740
but most importantly, you're posting on social media about it.
00:37:20.780
And you're showing everybody what a great person you are
00:37:22.660
because you're virtuous and you're very liberal.
00:37:31.920
It's not about the man who was killed in Minnesota.
00:37:38.420
and religious contradictions in this leftist ideology.
00:37:48.540
Look, when I looked around at the hordes of people
00:37:52.840
so I looked around at all of these sort of things.
00:37:56.580
is not about what people are telling us it's about.
00:38:08.280
because he was able to form a coherent sentence.
00:38:24.200
He said, the arc of the moral universe is long,
00:39:17.560
There is a happy ending if you've read the Bible,
00:39:23.540
Also, this hasn't been the purpose since the beginning.
00:39:26.860
That is the progressive rewriting of our purpose.
00:39:33.920
The American story is a story about action and reaction.
00:39:44.940
I wish I could say that hate began with Donald Trump
00:40:03.660
then that means that what you just said isn't true,
00:40:18.480
Biden was right the second time, not the first time.
00:40:23.680
we know history is not a predetermined science.
00:40:26.940
Marx and his followers and leftist intellectuals
00:40:31.220
is this predetermined set science, and it's not.
00:40:39.120
We're not just on the verge of perfecting human nature,
00:40:53.760
Progressivism is things get better, better, better,
00:41:05.700
it's the people who describe their political agenda,
00:41:15.240
You know, I actually have a great deal of empathy
00:41:40.880
And so because mankind is naturally religious, right,
00:41:44.360
or call it spiritual or call it whatever you want,
00:41:46.580
we have these longings for things beyond this world.
00:41:59.940
you're going to express those longings somewhere else.
00:42:02.240
And what the left does is it expresses those longings
00:42:06.740
those perfectly right intuitions through politics.
00:42:09.760
But when you try to make an idol and a god of politics,
00:42:19.900
in the spirit of unity and the spirit of coming together,
