00:00:00.000 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 1.00
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 0.99
00:01:14.200 constitutional amendment. Isn't it required that you support black lives matter? But I don't support 0.99
00:01:18.480 black lives matter because I think black lives matter peddles lies and harms a lot of people. 1.00
00:01:25.020 Ironically, most especially black people. We've got the tapes to show you that I promise you, 1.00
00:01:30.860 you are not going to see on the mainstream media. I'm Michael Knowles and this is the Michael Knowles
00:01:34.640 show.
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 99 bucks as a Father's Day special. To take advantage of these incredible savings, you simply
00:03:11.020 go to ThompsonCigar.com and use promo code Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S, when you're ready to check out
00:03:15.520 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 1.00
00:04:11.460 people that black lives matter. Okay. Everybody is convinced of that. Everybody with any influence 0.99
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 1.00
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 1.00
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 0.95
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. 1.00
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 0.94
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, 1.00
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. 1.00
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. 1.00
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. 1.00
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. 1.00
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 1.00
00:12:07.880 matter. You're destroying my community and my business. You say you're doing this for black lives. 0.84
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 1.00
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,

00:13:14.380 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

00:14:13.220 Paint Your Life. Celebrate the moments that matter most. Not supposed to see the images of black 1.00
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.
00:14:38.440 Oh, s**t.
00:14:42.020 So you got people pouring out of this store and this guy's following a woman who's carrying some
00:14:48.000 sneakers. She don't want to talk to him. 1.00
00:14:50.760 At least show me what you got. Show me what you got since you, since you left your car.
00:14:55.080 Hold on, let's see. Let's see what you got.
00:14:56.500 She left the car in the middle of the street.
00:14:57.720 Let's see what you got. You left your car in traffic, ma. You got right? 0.99
00:15:02.360 She's nodding, but she doesn't want to talk to him.
00:15:04.260 That's what I'm talking about.
00:15:04.880 She wants to get out of there.
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. 1.00
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 0.99
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 0.99
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, 0.91
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 0.88
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, 1.00
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 1.00
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.
00:23:52.140 We're on your side. We're on your side.
00:23:54.600 We're on your side.
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, 0.62
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, 1.00
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.
00:31:54.360 About racism, anti-blackness, or violence.
00:31:57.940 About racism, anti-blackness, or violence.
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.
00:33:00.800 There's one woman, I don't know her name.
00:33:02.840 She was obviously irritated.
00:33:06.360 And she opens up the video, and she goes, this is ridiculous.
00:33:08.800 We told you white people what to do. 0.67
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.
00:33:17.860 I don't care what you told me to do.
00:33:19.040 I don't listen to you, lady. 1.00
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.
00:33:30.360 We tell y'all exactly what to do.
00:33:33.820 Exactly.
00:33:34.680 Exactly.
00:33:36.100 What to f***ing do.
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,
00:34:05.560 about how to find resources, about organizing.
00:34:09.260 You all take it, and you fill it up with a bunch of f***ing black squares. 1.00
00:34:14.580 What the f***ing are you thinking?
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
00:34:29.300 but posting f***ing black squares?
00:34:31.740 How did y'all even do it that fast?
00:34:35.540 Huh?
00:34:35.860 Was it like a dumb s***ing email chain?
00:34:37.740 How?
00:34:38.360 How?
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. 0.64
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
00:34:55.640 because it's very, very funny.
00:34:57.900 And she has a real point.
00:34:59.480 She goes, oh, okay.
00:35:00.700 Okay, so we here at BLM, radical activists want to radically transform society.
00:35:06.860 We want to end the police.
00:35:08.360 That's one of the demands of Black Lives Matter.
00:35:09.940 Actually, no more police.
00:35:12.020 Defund the police.
00:35:13.040 We want to totally upend civil society and government.
00:35:16.660 And so you, you heard all that.
00:35:18.900 And so you posted a black square to Instagram
00:35:22.360 on our hashtag that we're using to communicate
00:35:25.620 our radical plans in the field in the moment.
00:35:28.860 Like, thanks, guys.
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,
00:35:39.260 about those white liberals.
00:35:40.280 And this is actually why it was pretty funny
00:35:41.960 because I got a lot of flack for making my little joke
00:35:44.880 about the slacktivism earlier in the day
00:35:47.080 with the rainbow on the black square.
00:35:48.420 I got so much flack.
00:35:49.380 All these white liberals were very upset with me.
00:35:52.080 But then by the end of the day,
00:35:53.320 I actually was looking pretty good
00:35:55.340 because I was making fun of the black squares
00:35:57.100 and all the Black Lives Matter people
00:35:58.940 then started making fun of the black squares.
00:36:00.520 And so all the white liberals felt really embarrassed
00:36:02.540 that they posted the black squares
00:36:04.000 and they felt sort of like they can't win for losing.
00:36:05.720 This happened with Hermione Granger.
00:36:07.840 What is her name?
00:36:08.560 Emma Watson.
00:36:09.500 Emma Watson, who is woke, man.
00:36:11.640 This chickie is far left.
00:36:14.680 She's started the he for she campaign, 0.87
00:36:16.940 radical feminist,
00:36:18.240 really big on all these kind of racial identity politics.
00:36:21.220 So she posts the squares, the black square.
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. 1.00
00:36:33.560 She wanted her Instagram feed to look, look nice
00:36:35.740 while showing support for BLM.
00:36:39.320 It savaged her.
00:36:40.440 They savaged her. 0.78
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,
00:36:48.760 you know, it was so much just about her.
00:36:51.940 And you saw so many people,
00:36:53.120 all these blue check marks on Twitter,
00:36:54.340 they would say, look, you, it's,
00:36:56.480 you got to do more than just post the square.
00:36:58.580 You've got to donate.
00:36:59.380 I've been donating.
00:37:00.200 I donated to this group.
00:37:01.120 I have liberal friends of mine
00:37:02.000 who are screenshotting their donations
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.
00:37:11.240 And I, I reposted one of these people
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.
00:37:24.700 And I think that's where BLM is a little upset
00:37:26.880 as they should be.
00:37:28.220 But it's not about black lives mattering. 0.93
00:37:30.940 That's not what this is about.
00:37:31.920 It's not about the man who was killed in Minnesota.
00:37:33.860 It's not about any of that.
00:37:35.100 It is a working out of the political
00:37:38.420 and religious contradictions in this leftist ideology.
00:37:41.960 And it's manifesting in different ways
00:37:43.480 as it often does in identity politics.
00:37:45.280 But I think that's the rot.
00:37:48.540 Look, when I looked around at the hordes of people
00:37:50.460 in Amsterdam, riots in Paris,
00:37:52.840 so I looked around at all of these sort of things.
00:37:54.460 I thought, I think this whole thing
00:37:56.580 is not about what people are telling us it's about.
00:37:59.120 Joe Biden gave a big speech on this topic.
00:38:02.120 I want to get to it very quickly.
00:38:04.860 Joe Biden, the speech was actually pretty good
00:38:07.300 by Joe Biden standards
00:38:08.280 because he was able to form a coherent sentence.
00:38:10.940 Biden came out and he used a line
00:38:13.500 that Barack Obama used a lot,
00:38:14.700 that Martin Luther King used a lot,
00:38:15.960 which is the credo of progressivism.
00:38:20.400 It ties right in with this idea
00:38:22.620 of the liberal progressive religion.
00:38:24.200 He said, the arc of the moral universe is long,
00:38:26.100 but it tends toward justice.
00:38:28.260 A few days before Dr. King was murdered,
00:38:30.940 he gave a final Sunday sermon in Washington
00:38:33.180 where he told us that
00:38:36.100 though the arc of the moral universe is long,
00:38:41.140 he said it bends towards justice.
00:38:43.500 And we know we can bend it
00:38:48.460 because we have.
00:38:51.700 We have to believe that still.
00:38:54.420 That's our purpose.
00:38:56.740 It's been our purpose in the very beginning.
00:38:59.460 So that's not true.
00:39:00.860 None of what he just said is true,
00:39:02.280 but it has become popular in recent years
00:39:04.920 in progressive circles to use this line.
00:39:06.580 But the arc of the moral universe
00:39:10.100 does not inexorably bend toward justice.
00:39:13.280 In politics, at least, it certainly doesn't.
00:39:15.900 Actually, it bends toward Armageddon.
00:39:17.560 There is a happy ending if you've read the Bible,
00:39:19.420 but it gets kind of bad before then.
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.
00:39:29.960 And Joe Biden even admits this
00:39:31.720 when he contradicts himself 90 seconds later.
00:39:33.920 The American story is a story about action and reaction.
00:39:40.160 That's how history works.
00:39:42.280 We can't be naive about it.
00:39:44.940 I wish I could say that hate began with Donald Trump
00:39:47.980 and will end with him.
00:39:48.780 It didn't, and it won't.
00:39:53.680 American history isn't a fairy tale
00:39:55.380 with a guaranteed happy ending.
00:39:58.020 Hold on.
00:39:59.640 If American history is not a fairy tale
00:40:02.140 with a guaranteed happy ending,
00:40:03.660 then that means that what you just said isn't true,
00:40:06.760 because what you just said is
00:40:07.840 the arc of the moral universe is long,
00:40:09.680 but it bends toward justice.
00:40:10.960 But if we're not guaranteed a happy ending,
00:40:13.400 then it clearly doesn't bend toward justice,
00:40:16.720 which is obviously the case.
00:40:18.480 Biden was right the second time, not the first time.
00:40:20.800 Contrary to what progressives say,
00:40:23.680 we know history is not a predetermined science.
00:40:26.940 Marx and his followers and leftist intellectuals
00:40:29.480 since then have pretended that history
00:40:31.220 is this predetermined set science, and it's not.
00:40:34.640 We are not moving inexorably toward utopia,
00:40:38.220 toward paradise.
00:40:39.120 We're not just on the verge of perfecting human nature,
00:40:42.880 much as a lot of these liberal
00:40:45.740 and leftist protesters want to.
00:40:49.400 Good things happen.
00:40:50.940 Bad things happen.
00:40:52.400 I guess that's not progressivism, right?
00:40:53.760 Progressivism is things get better, better, better,
00:40:55.280 better, better, better, perfect.
00:40:56.460 We've perfected human nature.
00:40:57.600 We're back in the Garden of Eden.
00:40:58.680 Everything's great.
00:40:59.480 That's not true.
00:41:01.220 Some good things happen.
00:41:02.480 Some bad things happen.
00:41:04.220 More often than not,
00:41:05.700 it's the people who describe their political agenda,
00:41:09.620 their political plan as inevitable,
00:41:10.920 who bring us many more of the bad things.
00:41:15.240 You know, I actually have a great deal of empathy
00:41:19.140 for Black Lives Matter,
00:41:22.580 but even beyond Black Lives Matter,
00:41:24.060 all of these liberal leftist movements
00:41:27.560 and activist campaigns,
00:41:29.020 because they are recognizing a real problem.
00:41:31.040 They're recognizing that they are not perfect,
00:41:32.880 that there is injustice and sin and death
00:41:35.060 and misery in the world,
00:41:36.060 and they can't make sense of that.
00:41:39.080 They cannot make sense of their own world.
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.
00:41:50.360 And when you deny one outlet for that,
00:41:53.360 like natural religion or traditional religion,
00:41:56.160 Christianity or Judaism, 0.92
00:41:58.440 when you deny that,
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
00:42:04.980 and those intuitions, actually,
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,
00:42:12.500 things go very bad very quickly,
00:42:14.280 as we're seeing from the smoldering ruins
00:42:15.960 of many American cities.
00:42:18.620 I will give Joe Biden,
00:42:19.900 in the spirit of unity and the spirit of coming together,
00:42:21.960 which I've been told I should be promoting,
00:42:24.560 in the spirit of coming together,
00:42:25.620 I will admit Joe Biden does make
00:42:27.840 one good point in his speech.
00:42:29.980 To become a nation where all men and women
00:42:32.220 are not only created equal,
00:42:34.820 but they're treated equally.
00:42:37.120 Not just created equal, but treated equally.
00:42:40.960 To become a nation defined,
00:42:43.820 in Dr. King's words,
00:42:44.820 not only by the absence of tension,
00:42:47.680 but by the presence of justice.
00:42:50.220 It's not enough just to,
00:42:51.660 not a tension,
00:42:53.220 but justice.
00:42:55.980 Today in America,
00:42:56.960 it's hard to keep faith
00:42:57.980 that justice is at hand.
00:43:00.580 I know that.
00:43:02.060 You know that.
00:43:03.580 This point at the end,
00:43:04.760 I like.
00:43:05.580 I like this point about justice.
00:43:08.440 Because very often,
00:43:09.900 from the kind of bland liberalism,
00:43:13.340 you hear,
00:43:14.840 hey man,
00:43:15.580 calm down.
00:43:16.160 Just take a chill pill.
00:43:17.180 Just relax.
00:43:18.780 Look,
00:43:19.180 life doesn't really mean anything.
00:43:20.800 It's all not a big deal.
00:43:22.260 Just give yourself a lot of pleasure
00:43:24.220 and consume a lot of goods
00:43:25.620 and just make your life really pleasant
00:43:27.700 and then you'll die 0.59
00:43:28.500 and it all meant nothing,
00:43:29.460 but at least your life
00:43:30.120 was basically pleasant.
00:43:31.440 That's kind of the consensus liberal idea.
00:43:35.540 And you see conservatives
00:43:36.620 butting up against that
00:43:37.540 and you see leftists,
00:43:39.000 hardcore leftists,
00:43:40.120 butting up against that too,
00:43:41.140 obviously from different directions.
00:43:42.800 And I think that has a lot to do
00:43:44.560 with the unrest.
00:43:46.000 What a silly word unrest is.
00:43:48.200 It's the opposite of rest.
00:43:49.300 It's like an Orwellian euphemism, right?
00:43:51.020 We're talking about the riots.
00:43:51.860 We're talking about things burning down.
00:43:53.180 A lot of the riots,
00:43:54.180 a lot of the burning
00:43:54.840 that we're seeing
00:43:56.440 is because of that contradiction.
00:43:58.060 And Biden actually acknowledges that.
00:44:00.140 He says justice is what we need.
00:44:02.740 We all want justice,
00:44:04.520 but the way that the left
00:44:06.180 and BLM have defined justice
00:44:07.800 is actually injustice.
00:44:10.280 All right,
00:44:10.400 what they're talking about
00:44:11.260 is stealing from people,
00:44:13.280 harming people,
00:44:14.620 killing innocent people 0.81
00:44:15.640 because of what?
00:44:17.020 Because of some ideology
00:44:18.280 that's based on a lie,
00:44:19.860 a foundational lie,
00:44:20.840 false premises
00:44:21.660 that cause a lot of harm
00:44:22.640 to a lot of people.
00:44:23.820 Obviously,
00:44:24.460 we can't support that.
00:44:26.260 Nobody should support that movement
00:44:27.940 that is pushing those terrible things
00:44:30.980 based on lies.
00:44:32.340 But to Biden's credit,
00:44:34.260 he is intuiting a little bit
00:44:35.500 that people want justice,
00:44:36.820 all right?
00:44:37.500 And the problem is
00:44:39.320 Joe Biden can't possibly
00:44:41.280 bring us there.
00:44:43.080 And Joe Biden certainly
00:44:43.860 didn't give that speech
00:44:44.840 and I'm shocked
00:44:45.220 he read it as well as he did.
00:44:46.760 But that idea of justice,
00:44:47.880 that is something we must pursue,
00:44:49.160 but we're going to have to pursue it
00:44:50.080 by very different means.
00:44:51.340 All right,
00:44:51.580 that's our show.

00:45:52.760 You know,
00:45:52.960 The Matt Walsh Show,
00:45:54.020 it's not just another show
00:45:55.040 about politics.
00:45:56.320 I think there are enough
00:45:56.920 of those already out there.
00:45:58.220 We talk about culture
00:45:59.400 because culture drives politics
00:46:01.380 and it drives everything else.
00:46:02.980 So my main focuses are
00:46:04.540 life,
00:46:06.060 family,
00:46:06.860 faith.
00:46:07.640 Those are fundamental
00:46:08.480 and that's what this show is about.
00:46:10.340 I hope you'll give it a listen.
00:46:11.640 Thank you.
