Ep. 574 - Rewrite The Past, Control The Future
Summary
Trump's Mount Rushmore speech at the National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C. was a brilliant, if not brilliant, speech about the need to stop the leftist agenda that is erasing the legacies of our founders.

George Washington was the most distinguished of any man living and the greatest character of his
00:00:07.820
age. That is how Washington was described by his former enemy, King George III. That's right,
00:00:16.600
George III had great respect for Washington, but a bunch of blue-haired woke leftists today in
00:00:22.180
America do not. They have no respect for the father of their country, nor have they respect
00:00:27.120
for the descendants of the father of that country, or the whole country itself. They are rewriting
00:00:33.300
the past. And the fact is, when you rewrite the past, you control the future. Fortunately,
00:00:39.160
President Trump gets that, and he just gave us a history lesson at Mount Rushmore for the ages.
00:00:45.540
I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:00:47.300
Welcome back to The Michael Knowles Show. President Trump talked about the new monuments. He talked
00:01:00.400
about the old monuments. He talked about the whole point of the monuments at this Mount Rushmore
00:01:05.200
speech. The speech was absolutely magnificent. He did a great job. He opens up on the actual problem
00:01:14.980
because people are looking around right now at the country and they say, what is the problem? Is it
00:01:18.540
race? Is it sex? Is it the economy? Is it certain political rights? And what Trump saw is that the
00:01:24.580
problem is one of history, how we understand our history, how our history is taught. The fact is
00:01:33.580
the future of our country lies in the way we look at the past. And what he sees right now is an
00:01:39.500
encroaching politically correct leftist fascism that is going to destroy our national foundation.
00:01:47.840
In our schools, our newsrooms, even our corporate boardrooms, there is a new far left fascism that
00:01:57.060
demands absolute allegiance. If you do not speak its language, perform its rituals, recite its mantras,
00:02:07.260
and follow its commandments, then you will be censored, banished, blacklisted, persecuted,
00:02:22.500
Not going to happen to us. No, it's not because we're standing back, but there are a lot of incentives
00:02:27.100
here for us to give in. So you have this issue of the rewriting of the history. How is that enforced?
00:02:33.240
It's enforced because the left owns every institution of the culture. We talked about
00:02:37.900
this a couple of weeks ago. The left talks about institutional racism. Well, they own all the
00:02:41.720
institutions, the media, the educational apparatus, Hollywood, big tech, the list goes on and on,
00:02:47.040
corporate America. And if you don't recite its politically correct orthodoxies, you'll lose your
00:02:52.860
job. You'll get deplatformed. You will lose your livelihood. You'll lose your reputation. You'll be
00:02:56.440
kicked out of school. It, it never ends. So how do we stop it? What president Trump pointed out at this
00:03:04.180
excellent speech at Mount Rushmore is that all of this is the predictable result of years and years
00:03:11.460
and decades of indoctrination lies about our past through the mainstream media and through the schools.
00:03:18.900
So what does president Trump think we have to do instead of just complaining about this, which is
00:03:25.440
good. There's an effect to that. What he did, he used this opportunity, this historic speech at Mount
00:03:30.420
Rushmore to give a simple history lesson about our founders. The radical view of American history
00:03:39.240
is a web of lies. All perspective is removed. Every virtue is obscured. Every motive is twisted.
00:03:52.040
Every fact is distorted. And every flaw is magnified until the history is purged and the record is
00:04:00.620
disfigured beyond all recognition. This movement is openly attacking the legacies of every person
00:04:10.240
on Mount Rushmore. They defile the memory of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Roosevelt.
00:04:19.860
Today, we will set history and history's records straight.
00:04:25.720
And that's what he did. Trump just went on and he talked about the actual history of Washington,
00:04:32.200
of Jefferson, of Teddy Roosevelt, of Abraham Lincoln. It, it was pitch perfect. I thought
00:04:38.540
the speech was magnificent. Whoever wrote it did a spectacular job and Trump in delivering it
00:04:43.920
did a spectacular job. You know, it goes back so much further than we're willing to admit. We'll say,
00:04:48.800
okay, somewhere around 2015, 2014, that's when the campuses went crazy. That's when history started
00:04:54.500
to go crazy. That's when you had the shrieking girl at Yale. That's all these kinds of incidents
00:04:58.300
that were so, so viral. It goes back much further. There was a study that came out of ISI,
00:05:04.640
the Intercollegiate Studies Institute. I think in 2007, it was 07 or 08. The study was of graduating
00:05:12.900
seniors at elite schools, you know, all the big brand name schools and what they knew about their
00:05:18.580
history, their civics and their politics in America. What it found was, I kid you not,
00:05:24.680
seniors graduating from these schools, they've just spent tens of thousands of dollars, hundreds
00:05:29.080
of thousands of dollars on an education, knew less about their country's history and politics and
00:05:35.580
government than incoming freshmen. They had gotten more ignorant over time. Their own country and our
00:05:43.720
understanding of it had been completely distorted while they were in school. And that of course is
00:05:49.160
what we're seeing just anecdotally, anecdotally and as a matter of data. So Trump gives this great
00:05:55.120
history lesson. That was terrific. Now as a practical matter of politics, what is he going to do? Two
00:06:00.400
things. He's going to do two things to stop the carnage, the, the statue toppling, the mayhem in our
00:06:06.460
country. And each of those is very important. One practical in the short term, one very important in the
00:06:12.300
long term. We'll get to that in one second. First, I got to thank our friends over at BlinkSale.

00:07:23.380
doing what you love. Trump announces he's got two things he's going to do to stop the mayhem. First one,
00:07:31.320
already happening. They're going to start arresting all of the people toppling our statues.
00:07:38.420
I am pleased to report that yesterday federal agents arrested the suspected ringleader of the
00:07:46.080
attack on the statue of the great Andrew Jackson in Washington, D.C.
00:07:52.080
And in addition, hundreds more have been arrested.
00:08:02.580
Under the executive order I signed last week pertaining to the Veterans Memorial Preservation
00:08:09.140
and Recognition Act and other laws, people who damage or deface federal statues or monuments
00:08:17.440
will get a minimum of 10 years in prison. Oh, I love that, baby. That is some good news to me.
00:08:27.500
Why? Why? Is it just because I want these kind of crazy blue haired anarchists to go to jail?
00:08:34.280
Yes, that's part of it. I do want that. I think that is good. It is better for the individuals and
00:08:38.940
it is better for society. It is better for these individuals that they be locked up behind bars
00:08:44.480
than that they continue to degrade themselves and the society around them by knocking down statues
00:08:49.600
and smashing people's property and harming people. That is a good thing. But we also need to show
00:08:55.140
the precedent. We need, we need this to work as a deterrent, which is if you knock down federal
00:09:01.080
statues, you're going to go to jail for a long, long time. Three aspects of criminal justice that
00:09:07.780
are important. The first one, the most important one is retribution. The most important one is punishing
00:09:14.000
people just because they've done something wrong. It's called justice for a reason. Everyone
00:09:17.760
forgets about that one, but it's very important. That's the justice. The second one is the deterrent
00:09:23.060
factor. We need to deter people from smashing up our whole country. The reason the riots grew and grew
00:09:28.260
is because nobody did anything about them. And so eventually it just took over the whole country.
00:09:33.020
If people did something about it from the beginning and said, no, sorry, I don't care what stupid
00:09:37.280
social justice BS you're spewing. You don't actually get to burn down the whole country. Then the riots
00:09:42.480
wouldn't have happened better late than never though. And then the third one is rehabilitation.
00:09:47.000
These people are doing bad things. They're perverts. They have a very wrongheaded view of
00:09:51.520
the world and their own country and themselves. They need to go away for a little while and get
00:09:55.540
the right view of it. So I think this is wonderful, extraordinarily important that Trump is doing
00:10:00.260
it, but that's not enough. It's not just enough to lock up these anarchists. What you need to do
00:10:05.360
is look ahead to the future. We've knocked down our statues. A lot of statues have fallen down over
00:10:11.100
the last few weeks and an almost incalculable number when you consider everywhere that this has been
00:10:17.040
taking place. So what's Trump going to do? Exactly the right answer. He's going to build them back up.
00:10:24.460
Today, under the authority vested in me as president of the United States,
00:10:30.240
I am announcing the creation of a new monument to the giants of our past. I am signing an executive
00:10:45.500
order to establish the National Guard of American heroes, a vast outdoor park that will feature the
00:10:55.460
statues of the greatest Americans to ever live. Yes, I love this. And in very Trump fashion,
00:11:03.980
it's not just that he's going to build up like one statue of Christopher Columbus or one statue of
00:11:09.320
whoever, Washington. He's going to build a giant new park with lots and lots of statues. We have the
00:11:14.680
list so far of the statues. The National Garden will include statues of John Adams. Great. Susan B.
00:11:21.420
Anthony. Pretty good. That'll irk the, the pro-abortion people because Susan B. Anthony was
00:11:25.400
pro-life. Clara Barton. I don't know who that is. Daniel Boone. Great. Joshua Chamberlain. I think he
00:11:30.840
might be a basketball player. Either way, that's great. Henry Clay. Great. Davy Crockett,
00:11:34.700
Frederick, David Crockett, Frederick Douglass, Amelia Earhart, Benjamin Franklin, Billy Graham,
00:11:40.760
Alexander Hamilton. I just watched that musical over the weekend. Maybe we'll get to that a little bit
00:11:44.340
later. Thomas Jefferson, Martin Luther King, Abraham Lincoln, Doug MacArthur, Dolly Madison,
00:11:49.280
James Madison. This is just a great list, right? George S. Patton, old blood and guts himself.
00:11:54.360
Terrific. Ronald Reagan. Love that. Jackie Robinson. Oh yeah. Betsy Ross, even though her flag is now
00:12:00.360
racist, according to Colin Kaepernick, who will also come to because he admitted that his whole
00:12:04.400
kneeling thing was a lie from the beginning because he just hates his country. Has nothing to do with
00:12:08.320
police brutality. Antonin Scalia. Love that. Harriet Beecher Stowe, Harriet Tubman, Booker Washington,
00:12:13.560
who doesn't get nearly enough respect. I'll be talking about him on my Prager U book club show coming up.
00:12:18.180
George Washington and the Wright brothers. Okay. This is very good. My only issue here is, I mean,
00:12:27.020
I love all of this. I think we should build up all of these statues. That's terrific. The one thing
00:12:30.520
about this executive order though, is it, it will not rebuild any of the Confederate statues that have
00:12:35.980
been smashed. I come from a long line of Northerners. Nobody in my family tree ever held slaves. They fought
00:12:43.020
for the Union. George Cobb Knowles died at the Battle of Boynton Plank Road. Okay. I have no particular
00:12:50.020
familial love of the Confederacy or anything like that. And I don't have any, uh, long standing
00:12:55.920
ancestral history to the South, but we should build up those Confederate monuments again. We should.
00:13:02.540
When, when the civil war was over, Abraham Lincoln said, malice toward non charity for all.
00:13:07.940
Well, the, the Confederate dead are treated as American citizens. Okay. They were entitled to
00:13:14.900
certain war benefits from the federal government. General Lee had his citizenship reinstated.
00:13:22.800
The, the point of that, right? We fight this bloody civil war over this question of slavery,
00:13:27.140
the North wins, and then we have to come back together as a country. The civil war didn't split
00:13:30.660
the country apart completely. We ultimately rejoined together. By not rebuilding those Confederate
00:13:36.920
monuments, what you're saying to the rioters and the anarchists is, okay, you were sort of right.
00:13:43.360
You were sort of right. You're right. We shouldn't, those guys were bad. It's, it's probably for the
00:13:47.500
best that their statues are down. I hate Robert E. Lee. You're such a much better person, blue haired
00:13:52.420
anarchist than Robert E. Lee. And, and that just isn't the case. It's a bad message to send. It gives up
00:13:58.640
a little too much. It gives up the premises. I understand it would be, it would be politically
00:14:02.980
difficult to put up some statues of Robert E. Lee, but I do fear that by not doing that,
00:14:09.480
you are giving in a little bit. And ultimately they're just going to come back for George
00:14:13.660
Washington, even once this national garden is created. Though I will say the national garden,
00:14:17.800
a great, a great first step. And Trump ends on a hopeful note. The hopeful note is the best
00:14:24.220
is yet to come. That's actually the line he said, the best is yet to come. Sunny optimism,
00:14:28.840
very much like Ronald Reagan, good stuff. How do you think the media covered the Mount Rushmore
00:14:33.960
speech? Did they talk about all the sunny optimism in the future and how great everything's going to
00:14:37.800
be and how our country was good from the beginning and it's going to be good in the future?
00:14:41.680
No, not quite. We'll get into the dark and divisive media coverage, but first I want to thank our
00:14:47.260
friends over at Quip. You know Quip. It's very important to take care of your teeth. It's very

00:15:10.400
have an electric toothbrush. I used to use an old toothbrush that wasn't electric. It's basically
00:15:14.760
like rubbing a stick on your teeth. Okay. You just don't get as good a clean. Paired with Quip's

00:16:03.260
Quip, the good habits company. How do you think the media covered this? Oh, it was very bad. The New
00:16:09.720
York Times says that Trump's speech was dark and divisive at Mount Rushmore, leaning into culture wars
00:16:15.260
and barely mentioning the pandemic. Can you believe that in a speech that had nothing to do with the
00:16:19.620
pandemic at Mount Rushmore right before the 4th of July? He didn't mention the pandemic that we're
00:16:23.820
trying to push. He didn't mention our narrative. He didn't play into it. CNN called it dark and
00:16:30.880
divisive and, and they, obviously nothing in the text of the speech was dark or divisive. It just
00:16:34.640
talked about how great our history was, how great those men were, how great we are and how great we
00:16:38.620
can be in the future because the best is yet to come. So they had to look at the site. They said the
00:16:42.560
very fact that they're at Mount Rushmore is evidence of how dark and evil and racist and
00:16:48.340
bigoted and unjust this man is. Here's CNN. Kicking off the Independence Day weekend,
00:16:53.940
President Trump will be at Mount Rushmore where he'll be standing in front of a monument of two
00:16:59.440
slave owners and on land wrestled away from Native Americans told that, uh, be focusing on the effort
00:17:06.060
to quote, tear down our country's history. That's really awful and dark and awful, isn't it? I guess
00:17:13.800
CNN just hates Mount Rushmore. Maybe there's something wrong with Mount Rushmore. Uh, maybe,
00:17:19.840
maybe we've just been so wrong about this all the time. Oh no, it's pure hypocrisy because four years
00:17:26.220
ago when Bernie Sanders noted left winger showed up to Mount Rushmore, CNN could not have been happier.
00:17:34.340
This is our country at its very best. What an incredible achievement.
00:17:40.280
Visiting Mount Rushmore today, Bernie Sanders taking in the majesty of the moment,
00:17:45.260
this monument to four great American presidents.
00:17:48.540
Just the accomplishment and the beauty here, it really does make one very proud to be an American.
00:17:55.120
This is America at its best. It makes you proud to be an American. It's so beautiful.
00:18:01.660
Even CNN admits four great American presidents. You know, it's fake when it's in the news.
00:18:09.120
That was a line from Kanye West's recent song, Kanye West, possibly our future president,
00:18:13.520
which we'll get to in a moment. This is what fake news is. They don't care about Mount Rushmore.
00:18:20.440
They don't care about George Washington or Thomas Jefferson. They just care about attacking Trump.
00:18:25.780
And Donald Trump is the representative for you. They want to attack you who they think are deplorable
00:18:31.680
and irredeemable and bitter clingers and all manner of evil. The, the instrument through which
00:18:39.260
they will attack you doesn't matter. If Bernie Sanders, if Joe Biden, I guess now is the nominee,
00:18:45.720
had given a speech at Mount Rushmore, all we would have heard for the last two weeks is how great
00:18:50.260
Mount Rushmore is. If Joe Biden had given a speech on how wonderful George Washington is,
00:18:55.280
we'd have, we'd have heard hour to hour, 24 seven media coverage of how George Washington was a
00:19:01.040
great man and how he would have hated Donald Trump. There's no solid logic here. It's just Democrat,
00:19:10.100
good Republican, bad Biden, good Trump, bad left, good, right, bad. That's all it is. And,
00:19:18.360
and there are some squishy people on the right who, who want to say, ah, maybe they've got a point,
00:19:24.300
you know, maybe, maybe we shouldn't have Mount Rushmore. Maybe we shouldn't, ah, you know,
00:19:29.140
Jefferson did own slave. It's, it's not about that guy. You're just, you're trying to appease people
00:19:34.500
and come to an accommodation with people who have no desire to reconcile with you on the left.
00:19:39.140
They just want to club you and attack you. And the, the sooner you, you can pull up a,
00:19:45.380
an example from the media for all, virtually all of these stories. How many do you have to watch
00:19:50.280
before you realize they don't want to be friends with you? Okay. They don't, they don't like you
00:19:55.480
very much. They don't like this country. Finally, we can see that Colin Kaepernick is a liar in his
00:20:04.220
premise that the left was lying from the beginning. Remember when Colin Kaepernick came out and he said
00:20:08.220
that he was protesting police brutality. And some of us at that time said, no, he's not.
00:20:14.900
He's protesting the country. He's protesting the American flag, which is a symbol of the country.
00:20:19.900
So he's protesting the country itself. When some of us said that at the time, we were called racist
00:20:24.900
and stupid and idiots. And of course not stop being obtuse, stop being so thick headed. He's only
00:20:30.440
protesting the police. Well, then it went from protesting the current star spangled banner to
00:20:35.280
protesting the Betsy Ross flag. That's what Colin Kaepernick did. And I said, wait, see, there
00:20:40.620
wasn't, there weren't police departments as we know them at the time of the Betsy Ross flag. He's
00:20:45.400
protesting the country. Still people said, no, no, he's just protesting police brutality. Well, now
00:20:51.120
Colin Kaepernick has come out and admitted he thinks the country itself is evil. He tweeted out for
00:20:56.540
the 4th of July, black people have been dehumanized, brutalized, criminalized, and terrorized by America
00:21:01.280
for centuries and are expected to join your commemoration of independence while you enslaved
00:21:07.000
our ancestors. We reject your celebration of white supremacy and look forward to liberation for all.
00:21:14.300
There's the key. I mean, forget his history, which is a little bit off, as you might imagine.
00:21:19.900
He refers to the 4th of July as a celebration of white supremacy
00:21:23.380
and looks forward to liberation for all. The 4th of July is a celebration of white supremacy,
00:21:32.940
according to the left, because America is nothing but white supremacy. And white supremacy,
00:21:38.580
by the way, is just the new phrase for white nationalist is what we heard for the last few
00:21:42.780
years, for racist is what we'd heard for the past decade or two. And none of those words mean what
00:21:48.000
they seem to mean. They just mean bad. It's just a synonym for bad, which is why when you try to
00:21:54.840
use internal logic, like racism, right? Racism is an affront to human dignity and racism is when you
00:22:02.180
judge people unjustly on the basis of their race. So we say, okay, so black people can be racist,
00:22:08.520
right? Or Hispanic people can be racist. They say, no, only white people can. Well, that doesn't make
00:22:12.760
sense by the definition of racism, but it does when you realize racism or fascism or whatever,
00:22:17.520
all these ism words, it just means bad. It just means I don't like you. And so that's what he's
00:22:23.360
saying. He's saying, I don't like America. I don't like the founding. I don't like the current
00:22:26.820
country. I don't like any of it. And you know what? I don't like Colin Kaepernick. And I, even
00:22:31.040
though surely now some NFL team is going to have to hire him because they're getting pressure from
00:22:36.080
the league and from the popular culture. It won't matter. He won't change his mind. The minute he's
00:22:42.700
hired back, even as a mediocre football player, he's not going to say, oh gosh, what a good country.
00:22:48.680
Don't forget, Colin Kaepernick was raised by adoptive parents, presumably white supremacists
00:22:52.880
themselves. There's no, there's no gratitude toward that. There's no gratitude. Colin Kaepernick
00:22:58.140
lives in the most free, prosperous, wonderful country in the world. He got to make millions of
00:23:01.460
dollars from Nike or, or from the NFL gets to play a game for a living. No gratitude for that
00:23:08.660
because you either look at the world with gratitude or with resentment. You either look at the past as
00:23:14.060
irredeemable or as a sign of how the best is yet to come, but it's not just Colin Kaepernick.
00:23:22.100
It's because Colin Kaepernick, who cares? There've always been weirdo athletes. It goes up higher.
00:23:27.840
One of the major VP candidates being considered by Joe Biden basically agrees with Kaepernick. We'll get
00:23:35.400
to that in one second. First though, I've got to thank our friends over at
00:23:38.560
ReadyWise. Very important to be prepared during an emergency, before the emergency hits. Maybe
00:23:43.900
you've come to realize that over the past few weeks and months. Now is a better time than ever to be
00:23:49.400
prepared with long-term nutritional food options. ReadyWise has many options, such as emergency
00:23:54.980
meals. That's great. Freeze-dried fruits and vegetables for convenient on-the-go nutrition.
00:23:59.000
They've got new adventure meals for hiking, camping, other outdoor activities. ReadyWise meals are easy to
00:24:04.960
prepare. You just add water. They also have a very long shelf life. ReadyWise uses the finest
00:24:10.380
ingredients and latest food preparation technology to ensure optimal taste and freshness. I love it.
00:24:17.480
Every recipe is crafted by a team of chefs to provide a nutritional meal during critical times.
00:24:22.240
We actually, we had some around the office and one of my producers once just, I kept looking,
00:24:27.980
I was like, what's happening to all these meals? Like, where are they going? And he was just eating
00:24:30.800
them for lunch on a regular day. He wasn't camping. It wasn't the apocalypse. He said, oh, they taste
00:24:34.300
good. So I'm going to do it. This week, my listeners can get free shipping at ReadyWise.com

W-I-S-E.com, promo code Knowles to get free shipping. Forget Colin Kaepernick. This goes all the way up to
00:24:57.340
a potential Biden VP pick. Now you remember last week, I got to speak with a potential Biden VP
00:25:02.980
pick. That's Karen Bass, head of the Congressional Black Caucus. She's a congressman here in
00:25:06.740
California. And Karen Bass had these ties to Marxists. She worked with the BLM leadership,
00:25:14.420
which describes itself as trained Marxists very closely. She denied that. She lied to my face
00:25:19.340
because she didn't realize I had the receipts, which we showed on an episode last week. She also had
00:25:24.700
given praise to Fidel Castro, communist dictator of Cuba, right? So that's, that's pretty unsettling.
00:25:30.420
Now we have another Biden VP pick who has these radical views. This would be Tammy Duckworth.
00:25:35.860
Tammy Duckworth is a democratic Senator from Illinois. Duckworth was asked about this radical
00:25:42.120
view of American history, whereby we have to take down statues of George Washington. Did she say that's
00:25:47.280
crazy? Did she disavow tearing down statues of Washington? No, she said that's something we should
00:25:52.360
seriously consider. George Washington, I don't think anybody would call him a traitor. And there
00:25:58.140
are moves by some to remove statues of him. Is that a good idea? I think we should listen to the
00:26:05.600
everybody. I think we should listen to, to the argument there. But remember that the president
00:26:10.240
at Mount Rushmore was standing on ground that was stolen from Native Americans who had actually been
00:26:16.040
given that land during a treaty. Um, and again, let's talk about the greater context of where we
00:26:22.260
are in our country right now. It's open discussion for everybody. We got to hear all points of view.
00:26:28.980
You think that, uh, George Washington was a terrible, no good, rotten, dirty scoundrel and we should tear
00:26:33.620
all the statues down. Okay. Yeah, we should hear that out. But something tells me she wouldn't hear
00:26:37.920
out the traditional view, which has been held not only by Washington's admirers, but even by his
00:26:42.840
fiercest enemies, King George III, that he is the greatest man of his age. I agree with that.
00:26:50.080
People always ask, who is the greatest founding father? Who is the great? There's no question.
00:26:53.680
It is Washington. All the rest are also great men, but nobody compares to the giant of Washington.
00:27:02.380
So what's so upsetting here is not just that we have a sitting U.S. Senator, potential VP candidate
00:27:06.740
who doesn't care to defend the father of our country. Even Biden himself, even Biden himself
00:27:14.980
chose 4th of July to make a short speech, obviously not in person because they don't want him to get
00:27:21.180
lost and not be able to pronounce his name. So it was highly produced in his basement. Even Biden
00:27:27.480
himself chose the 4th of July to, to tear down the country. We'll get to that in one moment. This,
00:27:34.000
this perfect contrast between looking with bright eyes to the future, Donald Trump,
00:27:40.240
and looking with scorn and disdain for our past. That's Joe Biden. We'll get to that. We'll get to
00:27:47.180
have a fight for our future is actually a fight for our past. But first I have got to thank all of
00:27:53.840
you. Thank you so much for showing up to the Michael Knowles show on Apple podcast and subscribing
00:27:58.760
and leaving a five-star review. We really appreciate that. That helps us out. And also thank you for
00:28:02.880
subscribing to the show on YouTube. You may have noticed that we passed the 130,000 subscriber
00:28:08.660
mark, which allows me to beat Drew, which I'm really, really pleased about. We also had an hour
00:28:13.540
long interview with my friend, Dave Rubin over the weekend. We talked about everything from his
00:28:19.160
surprising new view on abortion. He's moved in a direction I think we'll all like. Trump, Jordan
00:28:25.220
Peterson, who, you know, obviously Dave knows very well. And Dave does something in this interview that
00:28:30.240
he has never done in an interview before. Head on over there and also get a Daily Wire Reader's Pass,

00:28:45.180
only good people in history. And according to the logic of the left these days, it sounds like he
00:28:48.980
plagiarized my famous book. Head on over, get a Reader's Pass, dailywire.com. Sign up for just a buck.
00:28:54.000
We will be back with a whole lot more. So Biden uses the 4th of July to tear down the country.
00:29:11.020
He tweets out a video because he, he can't be expected to give a live speech because he's
00:29:16.340
obviously in precipitous decline. He's not even able to campaign, which is why I just coincidentally
00:29:22.740
notice that, uh, democratic officials have locked down the entire country and won't let anyone
00:29:28.320
campaign before the presidential election. So Joe Biden tweets out this video. And for anyone who
00:29:33.980
thinks that Joe Biden is some moderate, he's kind of the old school of the democratic party,
00:29:40.260
Our country was founded on an idea. We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created
00:29:47.540
equal. We've never lived up to it. Jefferson himself didn't. He held slaves. Women,
00:29:52.640
women were excluded. But once proposed, it was an idea that couldn't be constrained.
00:29:59.980
It survived the ravages of the civil war, the dogs of Bull Connor, the assassination of Martin
00:30:05.360
Luther King, and more than 200 years of systemic racism. Just weeks ago, the murder of George Floyd.
00:30:13.020
Through it all, these words have gnawed at our conscience and pulled us towards justice.
00:30:18.640
American history is no fair idea. It's been a constant push and pull between the two parts
00:30:24.560
of our character. The idea that all men and women, all people are created equal and the racism that
00:30:30.940
has torn us apart. We have a chance now to give the marginalized, the demonized, the isolated,
00:30:38.420
the oppressed, a full share of the American dream. We have a chance to rip the roots of systemic racism
00:30:43.460
out of this country. We've never lived up to our ideals. That's what, that's what Biden says. He
00:30:50.280
says it dismissively. He goes, yeah, we hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created
00:30:53.960
equal. I'm glad he could remember the phrase this time, unlike in that previous speech, and probably
00:30:57.380
couldn't remember the phrase, which is why they had to pre-film it. Never lived up to it. I think we
00:31:04.300
have, actually. I think we've lived up to it many times. I think we live up to it more often than we
00:31:08.440
don't, buddy. American history is no fairy tale. Right. American history is, is an awe-inspiring
00:31:15.560
history. It's the history of the, the greatest nation, modern nation, the history of the world.
00:31:22.740
What Joe Biden is selling you is a fairy tale. What Joe Biden is selling you is that America is
00:31:27.440
rotten, systemically racist, institutionalized racism. He controls all the institutions, by the
00:31:34.520
way. Don't forget him and his associates on the left and in the democratic party. They do control
00:31:39.380
all of it, but somehow it's everyone else's fault. His fairy tale that America is, is basically just
00:31:44.460
torn between the good people and the bad people. And you know, he's the representative of the good
00:31:49.140
people and Donald Trump's a bad person. Remember he opened his campaign on this lie that Donald Trump
00:31:55.460
called neo-Nazis and white supremacists, very fine people at Charlottesville. That was the beginning of
00:31:59.340
the Joe Biden 2020 presidential campaign. It's a lie. It's demonstrably false. Lying is a sin,
00:32:04.420
by the way, Joe Biden, good person, Joe Biden. And that now finally, you know, the, the, the central
00:32:11.820
feature of America is racism. Joe Biden is acknowledging the 1619 project, dishonest premise.
00:32:18.760
And, but, but Joe is going to, Joe, despite 50 years in public life, finally, now he's going to make
00:32:24.740
us all better again. That's what they always tell us. This is the progressive liberation narrative.
00:32:29.220
They can never solve any problems and they can never acknowledge that we've, we've done anything
00:32:34.700
good in the world because to acknowledge that is to give up their whole sales pitch, which is we're
00:32:39.600
the progressives. We're the liberals. We're always, there has to be oppression. It has to be systemic
00:32:45.520
because our entire reason for being is to liberate us from that oppression. That's why they're liberals
00:32:53.820
and to progress into this wonderful future. That's why they're progressives. And if things are pretty
00:32:58.700
good, which they are, then they have no reason for being. And I would agree with that. I don't think
00:33:04.280
they have a reason for being. I think their actual raison d'etre in the United States is to antagonize us
00:33:09.440
and to, to bring us down and to tear down our past in an effort to control our future. Really
00:33:16.400
disgusting stuff. I don't have respect for Joe Biden. I know it's fashionable now to say, oh, he's,
00:33:21.300
he's an okay man, but he's declining, but he's been all right in his career. I don't think he's been
00:33:25.140
all right. I think he's a liar through and through. I think he's been a doofus for his whole career.
00:33:29.780
I think he doesn't believe a damn thing and he's willing to go whichever way the wind blows. And if
00:33:33.780
they told him, hey, dye your hair blue and put on this beanie and go tear down a statue, it'll help
00:33:38.040
you win an election. I think he would do it. Okay. None of that is worthy of respect. And, and if you
00:33:43.060
think that, oh, it's just old Joe, maybe the country will come together. They've extorted us and they've
00:33:47.340
said, we're going to burn your country down. If you don't elect our guy, just let them have it. Then things
00:33:51.000
will calm down. I think you are sorely mistaken, but things are not coming down in the presidential
00:33:56.620
election because we've got a new candidate in the race. And I think I might bear some responsibility
00:34:02.900
for this. That new candidate is of course, Mr. Yeezy, Kanye West. Kanye West announces
00:34:10.160
over the weekend on the 4th of July that he's running for president. We must now realize the promise
00:34:16.960
of America by trusting God, Kanye writes, unifying our vision and building our future. I am running
00:34:23.040
for president of the United States, hashtag 2020 vision. So he's not running in 2024. He
00:34:29.960
could be saying it's the 2020 vision, but I'm going to run next time. But now Kanye, who's
00:34:33.960
friends with Donald Trump, says he's running for president this year, even though it's too
00:34:38.260
late to get on the ballot in most states. I'm a little skeptical that this is actually going
00:34:43.800
to work out. The thing I want to point out here though, is Kanye West sent that tweet
00:34:47.560
at 5.38 PM on July 4th. Two minutes earlier at 5.36 PM, I tweeted out my take on Kanye's
00:34:58.020
latest song and I tweeted it at him. And I pointed out that this is the quote from the tweet, Kanye
00:35:05.640
West has a more sophisticated understanding of liberty than most self-described conservatives
00:35:09.340
and libertarians. Two minutes later, Kanye announces also on Twitter that he's running
00:35:15.120
for president. So like, I'm not saying I did this, but you know, maybe I did this. So sorry
00:35:25.280
or you're welcome, depending on your view of this thing. I think it's, it's perfectly fun.
00:35:30.100
I think it's all well and good. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump put him up to it. I wouldn't
00:35:33.800
be. I don't think so. Kanye is his own man and he does things that are unexpected sometimes
00:35:38.140
and maybe he's just trying to promote his song, which just came out. And you know,
00:35:43.000
the mainstream media are now trying to block Kanye out of the popular culture because he's
00:35:46.780
going off script. But I think this would help Trump, right? I don't, the reason that so many
00:35:53.860
people on the right now like Kanye is just because Kanye likes Trump. It's because he puts on the MAGA
00:35:59.560
hat and, and also because he did a gospel album. So they like that. I mean, that's, that's some good
00:36:02.980
stuff. And maybe we don't like all the songs on it or the music itself, but we like the message
00:36:07.300
in the lyrics. That's good. That's kind of my take on Kanye. Nobody who's going to vote for Trump
00:36:11.660
is now going to vote for Kanye instead. Very few people. Some people are joking about it,
00:36:18.380
but I don't think that's the case. However, I think there are plenty of people who maybe they're
00:36:23.300
not that political. Maybe they don't feel any particular pull to Joe Biden or Donald Trump
00:36:27.020
who would, would generally be in the democratic camp because Democrats always are trying to get
00:36:32.840
people who are not that politically aware or knowledgeable to vote. This is the whole premise
00:36:37.600
of the rock the vote campaign or voter die, you know, puff daddy's thing from a million years ago.
00:36:43.940
They're always just saying, Hey, you don't know anything about politics. You don't know a thing
00:36:48.040
about any of the issues at stake or any of the candidates. Perfect. You're our guy. Get out there
00:36:52.180
and vote because they know that voters with low information are more likely to vote for Democrats
00:36:57.140
because Democrats control all of the messaging of the entire culture. So, uh, probably Kanye could
00:37:03.860
pull some votes away from Joe Biden. Fine by me. Uh, I, I wish Kanye well. I don't think this is going
00:37:08.640
to work out very well for him just because he's, he's not going to be able to get on the ballots,
00:37:12.380
but, uh, but that, that's fine by me. People that you would not expect to lead are leading like Kanye
00:37:20.380
West. People who you would expect to lead, like for instance, a, an English prince, Prince Harry,
00:37:28.000
Duke of Sussex is not leading. Prince Harry posted the most cringe inducing video over the weekend
00:37:33.920
that I've seen in quite a while. It ended up looking like a hostage tape where Prince Harry
00:37:39.220
apologized for all of the institutional racism. And don't forget that is just a code word for,
00:37:46.460
for, for bad, all the badness. And by the way, if the English monarchy is not an institution,
00:37:52.700
I don't know what is. So I guess he would have to be responsible for this. Harry probably always
00:37:57.160
viewed himself as a good guy. We always thought he's fine and no one, we don't think he's some
00:38:00.620
bigot, but he has to apologize for the institutional racism. It was very, very pathetic.
00:38:08.020
My wife said recently that our generation and the ones before us haven't done enough to right the
00:38:12.920
wrongs of the past. I too am sorry. Sorry that we haven't got the world to the place that you
00:38:18.680
deserve it to be. Institutional racism has no place in our societies, yet it is still endemic.
00:38:27.680
Unconscious bias must be acknowledged without blame to create a better world for all of you.
00:38:33.980
I want you to know that we are committed to being part of the solution and to being part of the change
00:38:38.300
that you are all leading. Now is the time and we know that you can do it.
00:38:44.680
My wife said recently, that's, you could have stopped the video there and you would have said,
00:38:49.020
this is not going to be a good video. Pretty embarrassing stuff that the Duke of Sussex has
00:38:54.440
to begin his own speeches by saying, you know, my wife just told me, this is, my wife said this very
00:38:59.360
interesting thing. And you know, my wife told me to give this speech by the way. And so that's what
00:39:05.000
my wife said. Love her. She's great. Uh, pathetic, very pathetic stuff. But when leaders don't lead,
00:39:11.280
then things go a little bit haywire. And I think that's, that's what you've been seeing in the,
00:39:16.180
the madness and the mayhem and the rioting, not just in the U S but also in the UK, all around the
00:39:20.960
world. That rioting, that madness leads to terrible results for everybody. Over the weekend, a, a non-binary
00:39:29.060
white ally of the Black Lives Matter Marxist organization was killed. She was killed while
00:39:37.900
protesting on the highway at night. She, she was on the I-5 highway at night. When you are walking
00:39:46.920
around a highway, obviously that's a dangerous place to be. So how did she end up on the highway
00:39:50.720
at night where there's no evidence that the driver intentionally killed her though? Maybe he did. I
00:39:55.900
don't know. It's on, it's very unclear. I mean, he does speed up. He, he hits them, but they just
00:40:00.360
don't, they just don't know the motive at this point. How do you end up on the highway at night?
00:40:05.700
Well, what happened was the police decided they were the, this BLM organization, this anarchist
00:40:10.980
organization decided to close, they were going to march on the highway. So instead of the police
00:40:15.360
saying, no, you're not going to do that, we're going to arrest you. If you try to do that,
00:40:18.020
they closed down part of the highway. But just because you say, okay, we're going to close part of
00:40:24.160
this highway. That doesn't make that a safe situation. It is never safe to walk on the
00:40:28.120
highway, particularly at night. Don't do it. So they do this. This woman very sadly gets killed.
00:40:34.460
Now I knew from the very beginning that this was not a white guy who drove the car. The way I knew
00:40:42.540
that is if it had been a white guy who drove the car, that would have been the story. White supremacist,
00:40:49.120
white nationalist killer. Even though the victim was white, it would have been, this was an attack
00:40:55.580
on Black Lives Matter. But I knew, I knew for a fact that the driver was not a white guy because
00:41:01.520
of the media coverage. So Kamala Harris, the Senator writes, absolutely heartbreaking. Summer
00:41:05.440
Taylor was only 24 years old, peacefully protesting for Black Lives Matter. Again, it's not a peaceful
00:41:10.540
protest when you shut down a highway, but neither here nor there. When they were, when they were
00:41:15.260
struck by a car because this, this woman doesn't believe that she's a woman or didn't believe that
00:41:19.800
she's a woman. Thinking of their family during this difficult time and everyone in the movement
00:41:23.340
today. So this is very irresponsible stuff because what Kamala Harris is doing here is encouraging
00:41:27.560
more people to get out on the highway. And regardless of whether you agree with the political
00:41:31.320
views of the people protesting, it's always very sad when people die and more people will die
00:41:35.780
because of this, because of this kind of encouragement. But it's being, it's still being
00:41:41.220
posited as this anti-Black Lives Matter attack. ABC News, protester dies after being, after struck
00:41:50.940
by speeding car at Black Lives Matter freeway demonstration in Seattle. But no mention of
00:41:56.620
the race of the driver. You can go through the whole article, no mention of the race of
00:42:01.120
the driver. Then you find out the suspect who was arrested for doing it, his name is Dawit
00:42:06.360
Khalit. He is a black guy. And it's not even that they don't mention the race. I don't
00:42:11.140
care that they don't mention the race of these suspects. It's that if this were flipped, the
00:42:17.060
whole story would be about race. And it would be about how this ties in perfectly with America's
00:42:22.920
past and the original sin of America. And we've always been rotten and racist and it's a white
00:42:29.460
supremacist holiday on the 4th of July. And this is just another example of it. This is what
00:42:35.300
they do on the left. This is how they rewrite history. When there is a, an example that does
00:42:42.760
not fit their narrative, the example is treated as just a one-off incident. When any, any example
00:42:49.060
they can find buttresses their narrative of America as a hopelessly racist place historically,
00:42:53.780
it's considered part of this trend, part of the history. Nine unarmed black men, not nine
00:43:01.220
non-dangerous men, not nine innocent men, just nine unarmed black men were killed last year by
00:43:07.740
police. But even just use that number, even say none of them should have been killed,
00:43:11.540
even though the killings were justified in certain cases. Nine, not 90,000, not 9,000, not 900, not 90,
00:43:18.780
nine. Those are incidents. Those are not reflective of the broadest historical trend of how Americans have
00:43:26.840
always been slaughtering black people. Isn't the case, but that battle is over history. And the battle
00:43:34.740
over history is where they will be able to take us in the future. They're tearing down statues of
00:43:40.940
Frederick Douglass. Frederick Douglass, the black abolitionist. They're tearing down statues of
00:43:48.680
Frederick Douglass. Some were torn down in Rochester, New York, local media reported. Now it's unclear who
00:43:54.660
did it. Was it Black Lives Matter who did it? Maybe. Was it Antifa who did it? Maybe. If so,
00:43:58.840
it will be excused and ignored. If they find out that it was a white right winger who did it,
00:44:05.400
then this will be blasted over the news ad nauseum. And it will prove the double standard,
00:44:11.400
right? Because you can tear down statues of everybody. It's fine. It's a good thing. It's
00:44:15.100
wonderful. But you tear down a statue of Frederick Douglass. If it's, if it's a white, white guy,
00:44:20.800
white nationalist, white supremacist who does it, this will be considered indicative of this
00:44:24.500
long historical trend in American history. Either way though, of course, it shows the absurdity of
00:44:29.860
this and it shows this historical battle. There was a viral video over the weekend from TikTok of
00:44:35.620
these two girls talking about their view of American history, which I think has become a common view
00:44:42.160
among the youth. I'm ashamed to be an American where not all folks are free. And I won't forget the
00:44:51.640
enslaved who died and built this place for free. So I proudly lift up all the folks who are still
00:44:58.800
oppressed today. Cause there ain't no doubt this ain't our land. Trump and the USA.
00:45:06.400
Two white liberal gals. That's the view. That's the radical view. And it's the view that comes
00:45:14.300
naturally from liberalism because you've always got to be, you know, even, even the idea that
00:45:20.060
you're liberating yourself from the oppression of say the British monarchy or King George the third
00:45:23.780
taken to an extreme that can bleed over into always having to liberate yourself from the oppressive
00:45:30.520
past, which means toppling your own heroes. I watched Hamilton over the weekend. Sorry to say,
00:45:36.220
I was told to watch Hamilton. I didn't intentionally watch Hamilton. And I, you know, I like the theater.
00:45:40.920
I've been to quite a lot of theater. I've been around a lot of actors and directors and, and writers
00:45:45.800
for much of my life in New York and in LA. Technically Hamilton is, is fine for a modern musical.
00:45:54.400
You know, it's a rap musical in large part, so that's not great, but it's okay. I mean,
00:45:58.520
as far as modern musicals go, it's, it's fine. I love Hamilton. I'm a big admirer of Alexander
00:46:03.260
Hamilton, the historical figure, not necessarily the musical and Lin-Manuel Miranda is a talented
00:46:08.340
composer. So it was fine. I was thinking, what do I think of Hamilton? Hamilton is ultimately a bad
00:46:16.220
musical for America, bad for a present moment for a couple of reasons, even though it's very kind to
00:46:22.280
the founding fathers, very kind to Alexander Hamilton, we're celebrating the founding era. That's a lot of
00:46:26.020
fun. There's a, an, an unfortunate message being sent, which is the problem of this is the genre
00:46:35.800
of the music coupled with the liberation narrative that is obviously intrinsic to the story sends a
00:46:42.080
very racially divisive message. The genre is rap for, for all the good guys rap. And then the bad guy,
00:46:48.800
King George sings classic show tunes. Now the rappers, the, all the good guy characters and some of the bad
00:46:55.500
guys, but at least they're all on the good side, meaning the colonists and the Patriots.
00:46:59.780
They're all played by black or Hispanic characters, uh, actors. That's the casting. It's not colorblind
00:47:05.880
casting. Some people think it's colorblind casting, which is where you cast anybody of any race for
00:47:10.000
any part. That's not the case. And the creators of the show said, this is not colorblind. It's
00:47:14.200
specifically people of color for the, the good guy characters, at least good guys as so much as it's
00:47:19.700
the colonists and the Patriots. The bad guy is played by a white guy. His, that's King George,
00:47:23.560
who has a great performance. The two best performances are King George and Aaron Burr.
00:47:28.340
Leslie Odom Jr. Does a great job, but I understand why it's people of color being cast for the
00:47:33.600
largely rapping roles because, you know, nobody wants to see Nathan Lane or Matthew Broderick
00:47:38.140
rapping. Okay. It's just not very convincing. Rap historically, traditionally views itself through a
00:47:43.400
racial prism, right? As a, as a racial kind of art form. So, okay, we've got this, this rap genre,
00:47:51.620
which leads to certain casting. Maybe they would have cast it that way anyway. Coupled with the
00:47:55.500
liberation narrative then, the message you're getting is rap liberating itself. The good,
00:48:01.100
new, young, oppressed form of music, rap, liberating itself from the traditional stodgy
00:48:06.480
oppressive form of music, which is the Broadway show tunes. The inevitable consequence of that
00:48:11.840
message, given the casting, is that you have the people of color, all oppressed, liberating
00:48:16.520
themselves from the stodgy old oppressive white guy who is King George. That's a divisive message.
00:48:23.580
That's not a unitive message, particularly at this moment. And I don't think it's because Lin
00:48:29.960
Manuel Miranda is some kind of radical. I think he's just a liberal. I think he's a progressive.
00:48:33.980
I think that's the view of history. And it's a view now shared by Joe Biden. It's a view shared by
00:48:38.860
everybody on the left, but it shows you the stakes. This is not just a handful of radicals tearing down
00:48:43.880
statues of Washington. This is the fundamental battle line between the left in America,
00:48:51.520
anyone who works in the arts, all the way up to Joe Biden, the presidential candidate,
00:48:55.560
the left, which wants to tear down the country, which will twist and pervert beyond recognition
00:49:02.300
our actual history to create a fairytale narrative that will allow them to control the future versus
00:49:08.060
the right, the conservatives who want to conserve things, who realize that the left is selling
00:49:14.880
people a bill of goods, that they are no better and they are actually worse than our forefathers.
00:49:19.780
And they are lying through their teeth about our history and all they want is power and control.
00:49:24.800
That is going to be the battle through November. This election ain't about tax rates, folks.
00:49:29.880
This is about our very history and our history as our future. That's our show. I'm Michael Knowles.

2020. You know, The Matt Walsh Show, it's not just another show about politics. I think there are
00:50:39.020
enough of those already out there. We talk about culture because culture drives politics and it
00:50:44.040
drives everything else. So my main focuses are life, family, faith. Those are fundamental. And that's
00:50:51.660
what this show is about. I hope you'll give it a listen.
