00:00:37.740 The nearest thing that the New York Times had to a writer hired to be a sort of kind of centrist, conservative liberal after the 2016 election,

00:00:48.440 after the New York Times completely botched it, has resigned from the New York Times.

00:00:53.000 That's it.

00:00:53.860 Couldn't take it.

00:00:54.780 But a letter from Barry Weiss, Barry Weiss writes,

00:00:58.720 It is with sadness that I write to tell you I am resigning from the New York Times.

00:01:02.500 The paper's failure to anticipate the outcome of the 2016 election meant that it didn't have a firm grasp of the country that it covers.

00:01:10.260 So she details why and how she was hired.

00:01:14.780 I'm going to skip around a little bit to just the juiciest lines.

00:01:17.960 A new consensus has emerged in the press, but perhaps especially at this paper.

00:01:23.020 The truth isn't a process of collective discovery, but an orthodoxy already known to an enlightened few whose job is to inform everyone else.

00:01:34.140 Couldn't be truer.

00:01:35.480 Twitter is not on the masthead of the New York Times, but Twitter has become its ultimate editor.

00:01:40.620 I was always taught that journalists were charged with writing the first rough draft of history.

00:01:47.200 Now, history itself is one more ephemeral thing molded to fit the needs of a predetermined narrative.

00:01:54.740 There are terms for this.

00:01:56.560 Unlawful discrimination, hostile work environment, and constructive discharge.

00:02:01.080 I'm no legal expert, but I know that this is wrong.

00:02:05.720 This is a new McCarthyism. 0.50

00:02:10.000 Ideas cannot win on their own.

00:02:12.440 They need a voice.

00:02:13.660 They need a hearing.

00:02:14.940 Above all, they must be backed by people willing to live by them.

00:02:21.280 That opinion is no longer welcome at the New York Times.

00:02:25.160 That opinion is no longer welcome at our chief institutions in this country.

00:02:30.660 The things that we believe, the truths that we cherish and hold dear, have been rooted out of the institutions.

00:02:38.640 How much time left do we have to save the edifice?

00:02:41.240 We'll get into it.

00:02:42.380 I'm Michael Knowles, and this is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:02:52.620 Welcome back to the show.

00:02:54.820 Nothing resembling the old school liberals is left.

00:02:59.100 When I say the old school liberals, I'm talking about, you know, we call them the classical liberals or the libertarians, but I'm even talking about the old school progressive liberals.

00:03:07.500 People like Barry Weiss at the New York Times, which was a liberal paper.

00:03:11.980 We always knew it was a liberal paper.

00:03:13.740 I never liked the New York Times, but at least the New York Times would occasionally listen to ideas that it didn't agree with.

00:03:20.740 Occasionally, the New York Times would try to understand why it got things wrong.

00:03:25.600 That's over.

00:03:27.380 That is gone.

00:03:28.280 And now, when you hold those liberal ideas, those more old school progressive ideas, there's only one place for you to go, and that is to the right.

00:03:38.520 We've seen this.

00:03:39.080 It's not just Barry Weiss' letter.

00:03:40.560 There was a letter from, it's now called The Letter, from Harper's, where a bunch of old school liberals said, we've got to defend our liberal values.

00:03:47.280 They want to have this middle ground between the right wing, the traditionalists, the populists, the Trump people, and the hard left.

00:03:56.520 And it isn't working.

00:03:58.080 There's no space there.

00:03:59.460 One has got to pick a side.

00:04:01.260 Even basic values that we all used to agree with, we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights.

00:04:10.880 That was as near to an unassailable truth within the American regime as we had, even that completely under attack.

00:04:18.760 And it's not under attack, by the way, by the white supremacist, neo-Nazi Ku Klux Klan, of whom there are, what, seven people left in the country?

00:04:28.640 It's not.

00:04:29.440 It's under attack by the woke left, by these liberal institutions that have totally lost whatever identity they once had.

00:04:38.060 They've given it all over to the woke left. 0.98

00:04:39.580 This seems nowhere clearer than in a recent broadcast by Nick Cannon.

00:04:45.120 Do you remember Nick Cannon?

00:04:46.860 Nick Cannon is an actor.

00:04:49.440 He's a musician, sort of.

00:04:51.760 He's been a pop culture figure for decades at this point.

00:04:56.420 Nick Cannon decided to broadcast yesterday not on even his radical left ideology, you know, like when we think of Marxism or something.

00:05:08.840 Mao is something like that.

00:05:11.200 He broadcast on a radical left racial ideology.

00:05:16.160 The the mirror image of the Nazi KKK Ku Klux Klan, you know, the thing the left is always talking about.

00:05:22.620 We've got to get rid of racism.

00:05:23.940 We need anti-racism.

00:05:24.980 Well, it turns out they're anti-racism.

00:05:26.340 So often is just the mirror image, just as bad, only directed against the other guy.

00:05:33.020 Nick Cannon preached about the power of melanin.

00:05:38.540 Let's go to what it really is.

00:05:39.980 Then when we talk about the power of melanated people, when we talk about who we really are as guys and understanding that our melanin is so power and it connects us in a way that the reason why they fear black, the reason why they fear is because they the lack that they have of it. 0.60

00:05:54.260 So then when you see what, you know, Dr. Francis C.

00:05:58.040 Wesleyan talked about is that fear in that that that genetic annihilation efficiency of when you have a person that has has the lack of pigment, the lack of melanin.

00:06:09.040 Right.

00:06:09.280 That they know that they will be annihilated.

00:06:11.340 So therefore, however they got the power, they they have the lack of compassion that melanin comes with compassion.

00:06:19.820 Melanin comes with soul that we call it.

00:06:21.860 We call it soul.

00:06:22.680 We soul brothers and sisters.

00:06:24.200 That's the melanin that connects.

00:06:25.820 So the people that don't have it have are are a little and I'm going to say this carefully are a little less.

00:06:34.360 And and and and where the term actually comes from, because I'm bringing it all the way back around to Minister Farrakhan.

00:06:41.620 OK, there we go.

00:06:42.820 Now my eyes go up.

00:06:43.980 This is Minister Farrakhan.

00:06:46.300 Farrakhan. 0.97

00:06:46.860 Louis Farrakhan is a complete degenerate. 0.99

00:06:51.540 He's a black racial identitarian. 1.00

00:06:54.540 He espouses horrifically heretical views on religion and his religion is grounded primarily in race. 0.94

00:07:03.320 We've heard this kind of thing before.

00:07:04.540 You remember when Nicholas Sandman, that Covington kid who was going down to the pro-life rally with his Catholic high school and he was just standing on the National Mall, minding his own business.

00:07:15.160 He had a hat that said, Make America Great Again hat that is promoted by the president of the United States.

00:07:19.800 And this group of kids was heckled by a group of black supremacists called the Hebrew Israelites. 0.76

00:07:25.180 And they were screaming all sorts of terrible things at him. 0.99

00:07:27.360 And then that crazy Native American dude walked up to him, started banging a drum in his face. 1.00

00:07:31.320 The kid behaved very well and was destroyed in the press and by the press and he's won a lot of judgments against them. 0.88

00:07:38.940 We've heard this sort of thing before from people we would call cultural Marxists in the academy.

00:07:45.880 There was one, Professor Jeffries, this was decades ago, who had a theory of the sun people and the ice people.

00:07:53.360 The sun people were black people who got, you know, all the nice warm rays of the sun and the ice people. 0.97

00:07:58.760 Those were white people. They were less than, as Nick Cannon is saying. 0.95

00:08:03.540 Now, I, being Sicilian, I think I get a nice little middle ground here, a little more melaninated.

00:08:08.920 But this is a patently absurd theory, isn't it?

00:08:13.220 And it's merely used, you know, without any basis in science or history.

00:08:18.280 It is used as a way to put down a group of people on the basis of their race.

00:08:23.480 We always hear about people being put down on the basis of their race if they are people of color.

00:08:27.340 But what Nick Cannon is doing is putting down white people on the basis of their race. 0.98

00:08:30.660 He's saying they're less than, they don't have a soul. 1.00

00:08:33.200 He says that they're savages. 0.99

00:08:35.320 They had to be savages. 0.98

00:08:38.400 They had to be barbaric.

00:08:41.020 They had, because they're in these Nordic mountains, they're in these rough, torrential environments.

00:08:47.080 So they, they're acting as animals.

00:08:49.720 Right.

00:08:49.900 So they're the ones that are actually closer to animals.

00:08:53.740 They're closer to animals.

00:08:55.120 Okay, this is the kind of stuff we can expect from Nick Cannon.

00:08:57.820 Now, it's one thing when you hear some wacko like Louis Farrakhan say this. 0.76

00:09:02.420 It's another thing when you hear some wacko like Nick Cannon say this. 0.98

00:09:05.800 But the kind of stuff that these guys are saying is not just heard from these kooky guys in the culture,

00:09:12.160 or even a professor like Lionel Jeffries talks about the sun people and the ice people.

00:09:17.580 This kind of stuff is being heard at newspapers like the New York Times,

00:09:21.600 where we see, we've seen multiple articles about abolishing whiteness, the problems of whiteness.

00:09:27.820 This has now infiltrated the mainstream left, what used to be called the mainstream liberal left.

00:09:33.620 And what's so outrageous is Nick Cannon just got, he just lost his job for making these remarks.

00:09:40.400 But he didn't, he didn't lose his job for making these remarks about the white people about whom he made these marks.

00:09:45.160 We will get to all of that in one second.

00:09:46.860 First, though, I've got to thank our friends over at LifeLock.

00:09:50.580 You know, criminals do not care what is going on.

00:09:55.540 They will still steal your information.

00:09:58.140 They won't say, oh, you know what, we're in the midst of a tough time here economically.

00:10:01.400 They're going to steal your information regardless, okay?

00:10:04.260 Fraudsters love turbulent times.

00:10:06.020 Cyber security researchers are warning that cyber criminals are sending emails that include

00:10:10.120 Black Lives Matter in the subject line in an effort to install malware on victims' computers.

00:10:15.440 If any curious party clicks on the file attached to the email, what happens?

00:10:19.540 It installs a dangerous Microsoft Windows malware known as TrickBot.

00:10:23.320 You'd think they would have had a more subtle title for that, TrickBot.

00:10:26.540 Anyway, very important to protect your information and be responsible.

00:11:01.000 Nick Cannon did get fired.

00:11:02.100 I guess he had a contract with ViacomCBS.

00:11:04.580 And he did get fired here.

00:11:08.200 Here's the statement that ViacomCBS sent out.

00:11:11.300 ViacomCBS condemns bigotry of any kind and we categorically denounce all forms of anti-Semitism.

00:11:16.400 We have spoken with Nick Cannon about an episode of his podcast, Cannon's Class on YouTube,

00:11:22.080 which promoted hateful speech and spread anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.

00:11:25.280 Because part of this video is he spreads this theory, also spread by the Hebrew Israelites

00:11:30.780 and other black supremacist groups, that black people, American blacks, are the true Hebrews,

00:11:38.240 the Israelites, the Jews of the Bible. 0.98

00:11:40.720 And that the Jews, who we all know as Jews, they're like the fake Jews or something like that. 1.00

00:11:45.180 What's so striking to me about this statement from ViacomCBS, 0.93

00:11:49.920 it only condemns in specific terms bigotry against Jews.

00:11:56.160 But all the bigotry that we just heard in that video was against white people generally.

00:12:05.320 It's talking about what, but that's okay.

00:12:07.400 Viacom doesn't condemn that bigotry.

00:12:09.600 That bigotry is perfectly fine. 0.99

00:12:11.280 In fact, in many quarters of the popular culture, it's encouraged,

00:12:15.040 which is why you hear these calls to abolish whiteness.

00:12:18.600 You hear things like toxic whiteness.

00:12:20.880 You see city governments now forcing their employees to go through mandatory re-education programs

00:12:27.120 where they can learn about their terrible whiteness and how they're racist 0.91

00:12:29.860 and they've got to get rid of all of their white privilege. 0.99

00:12:33.260 It's not just in the world of media or in politics.

00:12:36.520 It's also affected even the world of fine art.

00:12:40.220 A modern art museum curator has been fired.

00:12:44.940 You probably do not follow the modern art world terribly closely.

00:12:49.040 I do not myself.

00:12:51.180 However, one of the most prominent curators in the country,

00:12:55.520 a guy named Gary Geralds, has just resigned amid an uproar.

00:13:02.160 You wouldn't say he resigned really.

00:13:03.580 He was pushed out at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

00:13:07.280 Why was he pushed out?

00:13:08.800 Why was he fired?

00:13:09.720 Why were there so many calls for him to be fired?

00:13:12.580 There were many calls for him to be fired because this guy, Gary Geralds,

00:13:17.360 suggested that he would not completely stop buying artwork from white male artists.

00:13:26.140 He didn't say he was going to prefer white male artists even.

00:13:29.140 He said he was just not going to totally stop buying the artwork.

00:13:34.680 That was too much.

00:13:36.980 He was confronted at an all-staff Zoom meeting about this because now no one holds meetings in person.

00:13:43.460 And he was referred to as a white supremacist.

00:13:46.540 He said, this is his exact words.

00:13:48.100 Don't worry.

00:13:48.940 We will definitely still continue to collect white artists.

00:13:51.640 But they were going to focus now on collecting artists of color.

00:13:56.980 Right?

00:13:57.140 So he's actually saying, I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to disadvantage white artists, 0.61

00:14:02.380 but we'll still, we'll still be collecting them.

00:14:03.960 After that, there was a petition calling for his resignation that was signed by 180 people.

00:14:13.800 All because he didn't want to completely cut out white guys. 0.62

00:14:17.320 And he said that, that in itself would be reverse racism, reverse discrimination, which is obviously true. 1.00

00:14:23.500 The petition said, quote,

00:14:24.920 So, Gary's removal from the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art is non-negotiable.

00:14:30.040 Considering his lengthy tenure at this institution,

00:14:32.580 we ask just how long have his toxic white supremacist beliefs regarding race and equity

00:14:39.300 directed his position curating the content of the museum.

00:14:44.080 So if you don't want to just completely cancel white people from all sectors of society, 1.00

00:14:49.800 you're a toxic white supremacist. 0.99

00:14:52.140 And you know what Geralt did? 1.00

00:14:53.200 Look, he's the curator of a modern art museum.

00:14:55.540 Something tells me the guy is not exactly a rock-ribbed Trump supporter or something.

00:15:00.800 He's not a Burkean conservative or something like that.

00:15:04.320 He said, I want to offer my personal and sincere apology to every one of you.

00:15:10.940 I realized almost as soon as I used the term reverse discrimination that this is an offensive term

00:15:15.300 and it was an extremely poor choice of words on my part.

00:15:17.940 I'm very sorry at how upsetting these words were to many people on the staff.

00:15:23.200 So he's out.

00:15:26.440 The rule is now if you don't think that white people should be completely removed from all aspects of society, 0.94

00:15:32.780 you will lose your job. 0.97

00:15:34.920 You will be smeared as a white supremacist. 0.57

00:15:36.960 You will have to make a very public apology and you will lose your career anyway.

00:15:41.660 Meanwhile, all these people who pretend to be talking for racial justice or Black Lives Matter has their record on racial issues.

00:15:52.540 These people who are pushing, to quote Gary correctly, reverse discrimination, reverse racism,

00:15:59.280 has their record on protecting black lives.

00:16:02.020 Not very good.

00:16:02.960 A one-year-old baby was killed in New York City over the past few days.

00:16:08.860 One-year-old baby.

00:16:10.140 Davell Gardner Jr.

00:16:12.140 One-year-old.

00:16:13.040 Black baby in New York.

00:16:15.720 He was not killed by police brutality. 0.96

00:16:18.080 He was not killed by white supremacists or the Ku Klux Klan or neo-Nazis. 0.98

00:16:23.080 He was killed in a mostly black neighborhood, presumably by black people. 0.98

00:16:29.120 And not cops either. 0.94

00:16:31.140 So this is the view held by the baby's family.

00:16:34.740 The baby's family is speaking out, specifically his grandmother. 0.97

00:16:38.960 For the cowards that did this, you should be ashamed of yourself because everybody talk about Black Lives Matter. 0.64

00:16:49.700 What about baby lives? 0.99

00:16:51.660 What about teenager lives?

00:16:53.540 Like you took an innocent child from a mother and a father as well as the grandparents.

00:16:57.900 And I don't think it's fair.

00:17:00.420 It doesn't seem fair at all.

00:17:01.780 And there are local people in that community who are speaking out explicitly against this,

00:17:06.420 against the racial narrative that is being pushed by the left.

00:17:09.560 A horrific story.

00:17:11.160 One-year-old baby.

00:17:12.640 The mainstream media ignore innocent babies getting killed.

00:17:16.120 What do they do?

00:17:16.880 They focus on criminals who get killed.

00:17:19.760 And by the way, I'm not even talking about criminals who are killed in officer-involved killings.

00:17:26.820 I'm not talking about those rare cases that have been the ostensible cause of all the riots and protests,

00:17:37.140 even though I think really those are just incidents that have been exploited by people with a radical left political agenda.

00:17:42.640 But I'm not even talking about that.

00:17:44.200 I'm talking about actual 100% convicted criminals like the worst people on earth who then get the death penalty.

00:17:54.340 The left sheds tear upon tear for them.

00:17:58.300 One-year-old baby killed in his neighborhood.

00:18:01.080 Can't talk about that story.

00:18:02.840 That's going to get memory hold.

00:18:04.360 But brutal, brutal killers on death row.

00:18:08.200 We shed tears for them completely backwards.

00:18:10.880 We will get to the first federal execution in decades in the United States, which just took place yesterday.

00:18:17.100 First, though, I've got to thank our friends over at Ring.

00:19:39.720 The federal government, for the first time in almost 20 years,

00:19:46.180 executed an inmate for a capital offense.

00:19:51.420 This is good news.

00:19:52.720 It's a good thing when justice is done.

00:19:56.500 And yet, according to many people on the left, and frankly, even some people on the right,

00:20:01.160 this couldn't be worse.

00:20:02.740 So terrible.

00:20:03.700 Such a sad story.

00:20:05.180 The criminal who was executed is Daniel Lewis Lee.

00:20:09.000 He was convicted on May 4th, 1999, of killing three members of an Arkansas family.

00:20:14.540 William Frederick Muller, his wife Nancy Ann, and his eight-year-old stepdaughter Sarah Elizabeth Powell.

00:20:21.480 This guy, this guy that everyone is weeping tears over, the radical left is weeping tears over,

00:20:28.860 Daniel Lewis Lee, was a member of a white supremacist organization, an actual white supremacist organization,

00:20:34.340 not in the way that the left smears modern museum art gallery curators or, frankly,

00:20:41.500 anyone to the right of Hillary Clinton as a white supremacist.

00:20:43.440 This guy was the real deal. 0.98

00:20:44.900 He robbed and then shot this family, including the kid with a stun gun, duct-taped plastic bags around their heads.

00:20:52.360 This was a stun gun, don't forget.

00:20:53.560 So he didn't kill them when he attacked them.

00:20:55.240 Duct-taped plastic bags around their heads, weighed down each victim with rocks, and drowned the family in the bayou.

00:21:00.940 So this guy, all these years later, 20 years later, got what he deserved, and the left is furious.

00:21:11.840 Rolling Stone magazine referred to this as state-sanctioned murder because the guy got it.

00:21:17.140 Now, first of all, the death penalty is a good thing. 0.99

00:21:21.800 It is good that the civil authority has the right to commit the death penalty, to execute criminals.

00:21:27.720 A lot of people just focus on the deterrent factor of criminal justice.

00:21:34.360 So they'll say, well, the death penalty doesn't really deter crime.

00:21:37.160 Frankly, I think it probably does deter crime, but you're right.

00:21:39.980 As it is enacted and enforced right now, its deterrent effect is probably weak

00:21:44.100 because very few people who receive the death penalty actually have to deal with it.

00:21:48.660 They'll be convicted, they'll be sentenced to the death penalty, but very often they'll get off.

00:21:52.120 So it doesn't have a great deterrent effect, perhaps because it's not actually used to deter people.

00:21:59.760 The rehabilitative aspect of crime people focus on.

00:22:02.320 They say the whole purpose of the criminal justice system is just to make people better,

00:22:06.060 reform people, and the death penalty doesn't do that, so we've got to get rid of it.

00:22:08.840 First of all, I think it does reform people.

00:22:10.620 I think, to quote Dr. Johnson, hanging concentrates the mind.

00:22:13.960 When you know that you're about to be hanged or electrocuted or just executed by any man or by the state,

00:22:20.700 it focuses your mind wonderfully, not on kind of temporal concerns, but on the eternal question.

00:22:27.300 So I think even from a medicinal standpoint, death penalty has something to say for it.

00:22:31.780 But then most importantly, the thing that everyone forgets is justice.

00:22:35.120 The primary purpose of criminal justice is to punish people for committing crimes, for committing acts of injustice.

00:22:43.960 It is retributive.

00:22:46.700 That's not, some people think that's terrible, that's a horrible idea, or that it's, that's just a secondary feature of the system.

00:22:52.200 No, that's the primary one.

00:22:53.660 If, if the criminal justice system were just about rehabilitation, then there's no reason to require that someone commit a crime to get into the system.

00:23:01.160 We could all use a little rehabilitation.

00:23:02.880 We've all got really nasty habits that we could have fixed.

00:23:05.500 If the purpose were merely deterrent, same thing.

00:23:08.020 You wouldn't necessarily need to commit a crime to do it.

00:23:10.420 As long as we make an example of somebody, that could have a deterrent effect.

00:23:14.780 The, the reason that it's the criminal justice system is you need to commit a crime to do it.

00:23:19.500 So you receive retribution for that.

00:23:21.420 And that is what happens when we exact justice.

00:23:26.240 Just consider how backwards that is.

00:23:28.160 Even beyond the idea that we kill a million innocent babies a year, but we, we ring our, you know, we clutch our pearls and we rend our garments when we kill one torturing psychopath murderer who kills an eight-year-old.

00:23:41.340 But, but forget that. 0.55

00:23:43.900 We've just had this whole Black Lives Matter movement.

00:23:46.300 We've just had this whole, remember that we're setting the cities on fire and tearing down statues and it's the most important protest in the country.

00:23:53.920 And yet when innocent Black Lives are killed, BLM is nowhere to be found. 0.98

00:24:00.180 And yet those same radical leftists who support organizations like BLM cry over these crazy white supremacists, ironically. 1.00

00:24:09.620 These killers. 0.99

00:24:10.300 That's a backward sort of priorities.

00:24:13.640 Think about this.

00:24:14.820 We just saw this in St. Louis.

00:24:16.120 If you walk up to somebody who is on their own property and you wave a gun in their face and you threaten them and you say, I'm coming for you, I'm going to get you.

00:24:26.620 That's fine.

00:24:27.280 You're a peaceful protester as long as you have the right politics.

00:24:29.700 But if you are the property owner whose life and whose family's life and whose property is being threatened and you take out a gun and you say, I'm going to use this if you try to get me, that could be a crime.

00:24:41.720 The McCloskeys, I spoke to Mark McCloskey, we played part of that interview yesterday.

00:24:45.840 The McCloskeys is the guy in the pink polo shirt and the white chinos who defended their lives and property in St. Louis. 0.75

00:24:51.120 They expect to be indicted.

00:24:54.020 That's the rumor going around St. Louis that there's already been a search by the police of their home.

00:24:58.740 Their weapons have been confiscated.

00:25:00.400 It seems like only a matter of time and everyone is cheering this on.

00:25:03.940 Fortunately, the president of the United States can see through this absurdity, can see this injustice.

00:25:09.960 He just came out and defended the McCloskeys. 0.99

00:25:12.400 And when you look at St. Louis with two people that came out, they were going to be beat up badly if they were lucky.

00:25:19.380 Okay, if they were lucky, they were going to be beat up badly and the house was going to be totally ransacked and probably burned down like they tried to burn down churches.

00:25:27.640 And these people were standing there, never used it, and they were legal, the weapons.

00:25:32.440 And now I understand somebody local, they want to prosecute these people.

00:25:36.300 It's a disgrace.

00:25:37.800 It is a disgrace.

00:25:39.220 Absolutely is.

00:25:40.040 And it's a great use by the president of the bully pulpit to try to inject a little bit of common sense in here.

00:25:46.320 And it's very interesting.

00:25:47.760 It's a sign of the times we're living in.

00:25:50.580 It's very interesting what President Trump will defend and what he will not defend.

00:25:54.380 Because I thought when I saw Trump come out and defend the McCloskeys, I thought this is it. 0.98

00:25:59.080 This guy totally gets it.

00:26:00.800 We talked yesterday on the show about how these seemingly trivial issues, oh, this little family in St. Louis, oh, this statue of George Washington or Christopher Columbus, who cares?

00:26:11.300 It's just a little issue.

00:26:12.440 It's no big deal.

00:26:13.200 Well, we've got to talk about stuff of national importance, you know, like tax rates or something.

00:26:16.960 So it doesn't matter.

00:26:18.760 And what President Trump realizes is what the character of the Queen's private secretary understands in The Crown, the TV show, which is that it's in the small things that the rot begins.

00:26:30.820 It's in these seemingly trivial cultural matters, little story about a family in St. Louis, that the rot begins.

00:26:40.220 And President Trump has a laser focus on that sort of stuff.

00:26:44.920 And yet at the same time, as he's talking about that, the Trump administration is reversing course on what I thought was a tremendously popular policy.

00:26:54.920 It was a way to pressure schools as we're trying to get the schools to reopen, which they absolutely should.

00:27:00.960 The only reason the schools are going to remain shut down is for political purposes, to make it easier for Joe Biden to hide out in his basement for the next three months and then hopefully get elected president without having to put his foot in his mouth every single day on the campaign trail.

00:27:14.260 That's what the Democrats are thinking.

00:27:15.820 So the Trump administration trying to pressure schools, one way they were doing that is they were saying, okay, if you're here on a student visa, you're here to study at an American university, but now that university campus won't open up and you're going to do online learning, you have to go back to your country.

00:27:31.100 As we said, it made perfect sense.

00:27:33.520 It's a brilliant policy.

00:27:36.080 Now, people derided this.

00:27:38.160 They said, oh, it's terrible.

00:27:39.020 You're sending these poor students back home.

00:27:41.020 Yes, of course we are.

00:27:42.120 However, the reason that they are here in the United States is to study.

00:27:46.280 If they can do it online, if the left wants to push that ridiculous policy for its own political reasons, by the way, that's fine, but they have to deal with the consequences of that then.

00:27:55.860 And the consequences of that are that these students that they love welcoming into the country have to go home because there's no reason for them to be in the United States.

00:28:02.600 Now, if those students want to come into the United States by another means, they want to get a work visa or however else they can get here, they're free to do that.

00:28:11.560 They can apply for that kind of visa, but you don't get to have your cake and eat it too.

00:28:15.300 You don't get all the benefits without any of the costs that are being pushed because the left has an agenda come November.

00:28:23.040 So, unfortunately, the Trump administration has backed off of this.

00:28:26.920 They've withdrawn this proposed rule that would have forced the foreign students to go back home if their colleges weren't opening in the fall.

00:28:33.920 I don't know who's advising Trump on this, but it's bad stuff.

00:28:37.600 You can see it in real time.

00:28:40.680 You can see this happening, this tug of war going on in the administration.

00:28:44.380 I don't talk to that many people in the administration, so it's not like I'm telling you tales at a school here from gossip that somebody called me about.

00:28:53.400 But you can just see it play out in real time because there will be an official statement from the White House on one thing, and then President Trump will undercut it in a tweet.

00:29:01.300 He'll usually give the more correct view in the tweet, usually, not all the time, but more times than not.

00:29:08.200 And then the policy will back off.

00:29:09.960 There's a tug of war.

00:29:11.120 Trump should listen to his gut.

00:29:12.160 He should listen to the conservatives in the administration.

00:29:14.380 Whoever is going weak, whoever is going squishy as we're getting closer to November is not giving him good advice.

00:29:21.880 But it's so interesting what he'll defend, what he won't defend when it's him or when the policy has been formed by some committee of squishes who were born and bred and raised in the swampland of Washington, D.C.

00:29:33.980 Because President Trump recognizes, even on issues that people, no one really wants to defend, how important the symbolism in the culture is, even on an issue so unpopular as the Confederate flag.

00:29:46.520 We will get into that.

00:29:47.940 We will get into how widespread the radical rot on the left goes.

00:29:52.500 It's not just confined to Nick Cannon and to the New York Times.

00:29:56.980 Even it goes all the way up to their presidential nominee.

00:29:59.820 First, though, I've got to thank you.

00:30:01.680 I've got to thank you for subscribing to The Michael Knowles Show on Apple Podcasts and The Michael Knowles Show on YouTube.

00:30:06.980 You have made my YouTube channel bigger than Andrew Klavins.

00:30:09.900 This is the most important thing.

00:30:11.020 That's the most important thing to do, so thank you very much.

00:30:14.100 I very much intend to bug Drew about that.

00:30:18.180 Be sure also to check out the exclusive content that we've posted on that YouTube channel with guys such as Mark McCloskey and recently Donald Trump Jr.

00:30:26.360 Also, Ben Shapiro, our very own, has a new book.

00:30:30.960 It's called How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps.

00:30:33.620 When he wrote this book, he foresaw what is happening right now.

00:30:38.040 Pretty crazy.

00:30:39.400 He's got like a crystal ball or something like that.

00:30:42.480 The book goes on sale Tuesday, July 31st at 6 p.m. Eastern, 3 p.m. Pacific.

00:30:47.280 Ben will be doing a virtual live signing event on the day of release and with your purchase of a signed copy,

00:30:51.880 you can write in a question which may be read and answered as he signs your book live on the air.

00:30:56.640 You can pre-order your signed copy and write in your question at dailywire.com slash Ben.

00:31:00.820 Go get it.

00:31:01.340 We'll be back with a whole lot more.

00:31:08.640 So, President Trump, he's backed off this policy which I think is a mistake.

00:31:21.060 But then when it gets to an issue that would be far dicier, far more divisive, an issue like the Confederate flag,

00:31:27.040 President Trump realizes the importance of not giving an inch to the woke mob.

00:31:32.880 President Trump, back in 2015, you said the Confederate battle flag belongs in a museum.

00:31:39.060 Do you still believe that?

00:31:40.000 All I say is freedom of speech.

00:31:41.340 It's very simple.

00:31:42.280 My attitude is freedom of speech.

00:31:44.540 Very strong views on the Confederate flag.

00:31:47.080 With me, it's freedom of speech.

00:31:48.400 Very simple.

00:31:49.140 Like it, don't like it, it's freedom of speech.

00:31:52.020 Would you be comfortable with your supporters displaying the Confederate battle flag at political events?

00:31:56.640 You know, it depends on what your definition is, but I am comfortable with freedom of speech.

00:32:00.840 It's very simple.

00:32:01.420 But you understand why the flag is a painful symbol for many people because it's a reminder of slavery.

00:32:07.040 Well, people love it, and I don't view, I know people that like the Confederate flag and they're not thinking about slavery.

00:32:12.200 I look at NASCAR, you go to NASCAR, you had those flags all over the place, they stopped it.

00:32:16.960 I just think it's freedom of speech.

00:32:18.600 Whether it's Confederate flags or Black Lives Matter or anything else you want to talk about, it's freedom of speech.

00:32:24.760 I love how many times he said freedom of speech because President Trump, we talk about how, you know, he's got no message discipline.

00:32:32.940 He's all over the place.

00:32:34.880 This guy has been in the public eye since the late 1970s.

00:32:38.740 He was at the top of network reality TV for 15 years.

00:32:43.060 The guy knows how to communicate a message in public.

00:32:45.380 I know that everyone, every armchair critic in America now thinks that they're a much better rhetorician and orator than Donald Trump, but they're not.

00:32:54.440 The guy actually does know how to communicate, and he realizes that race is this incredibly touchy, divisive issue.

00:33:03.280 There is great power to melanin, to quote Nick Cannon.

00:33:07.720 He's right, there is a lot of, there's great power of melanin here because the left knows that if they can in any way tie in any piece of our history,

00:33:17.440 any piece of our culture, with the issue of race and smear it with the idea of racism, then they can get rid of it.

00:33:26.220 They'll begin with the Confederate flag because few people want to defend the Confederacy.

00:33:30.540 My family, George Cobb Knowles, died at the Battle of Boynton Plank Road fighting for the Union.

00:33:36.140 What do I care about the Confederacy?

00:33:37.780 Well, I care, I care about our history, and I care about people who want to totally overturn American history,

00:33:43.000 and the arguments that they're making to overturn the Confederate flag and to tear it down

00:33:46.320 are arguments that they will make to tear down the regular old American flag.

00:33:51.320 By the way, they're already doing it.

00:33:52.660 Colin Kaepernick already did it with the Star Spangled Banner, and frankly, with the Betsy Ross flag,

00:33:57.840 the original American Revolution flag.

00:33:59.560 The same exact arguments.

00:34:00.680 It goes this way back.

00:34:03.080 President Trump, now three years ago, predicted it would happen.

00:34:06.620 He said, you're talking about Robert E. Lee right now.

00:34:09.000 You're talking about tearing down his statues.

00:34:11.060 But very soon, you're going to be tearing down Thomas Jefferson and George Washington for the same reason.

00:34:16.300 And it's already happening.

00:34:17.300 It's already happening today.

00:34:18.620 That is the power of melanin, the power of these people constantly trying to poke the race issue.

00:34:24.260 That reporter.

00:34:25.060 Yeah, but isn't it offensive?

00:34:26.360 A white reporter, by the way.

00:34:27.680 Isn't it offensive?

00:34:28.440 People are very offended.

00:34:29.220 Trump goes, yeah, I don't think people are offended.

00:34:31.960 I think people like it.

00:34:32.780 It's not about slavery.

00:34:33.880 Freedom of speech.

00:34:34.860 Freedom of speech.

00:34:35.920 Freedom of speech.

00:34:37.280 There is not going to be a nice civil dialogue about this over the next three months, at least.

00:34:45.160 That's what the Barry Weiss letter is about.

00:34:47.880 That's what people, even the liberals who are not totally radical left, who are leaving these institutions,

00:34:54.540 that's what they're showing you.

00:34:55.760 That's what the Harper's letter is about.

00:34:57.260 These people who say, God, there's, we can't do it.

00:35:01.240 We can't do it anymore.

00:35:02.300 There is no place for us.

00:35:03.480 This is a brutal ideological battle and we can't give an inch.

00:35:09.200 Trump seems to know that, at least when he's following his best instincts.

00:35:13.600 This thing goes really, really deep. 0.99

00:35:15.960 It's not just laughing at a few professors or some stupid New York Times even. 0.99

00:35:19.280 It goes really much deeper than that. 1.00

00:35:23.460 It's all about November.

00:35:25.100 Hillary Clinton, unbelievably, because irony is dead, appeared on Trevor Noah's show, on The Daily Show,

00:35:31.300 which I think is about to get many more viewers than it ever gets on the actual show because we're going to play it on our show.

00:35:36.140 I don't know anyone who actually watches The Daily Show anymore, but conservatives can at least talk about the clip.

00:35:42.480 She goes on The Daily Show and she fears that if President Trump loses in November, he won't accept the results of that election.

00:35:50.280 Does that sound like anybody you know?

00:35:51.520 I think it is a fair point to raise as to whether or not, if he loses, he's going to go quietly or not.

00:36:02.380 And we have to be ready for that.

00:36:04.900 That's a real word.

00:36:05.960 Could you imagine if a presidential candidate lost the race fair and square and then pretended that it was illegitimate for now going on four years?

00:36:13.920 And if her supporters in the administrative government decided to launch completely fraudulent investigations of that winner of the election and spy on that winner of the election and totally hamper that winner's presidency and tried. 0.97

00:36:27.480 I guess I could go on and on.

00:36:29.860 I think it rings a bell, Hillary.

00:36:32.720 If only she had a mirror.

00:36:34.000 If only she could see her own reflection in the camera that she was speaking into.

00:36:38.240 Now, Hillary is going to be embittered for a very long time. 1.00

00:36:41.520 She was the failed Democratic nominee for president. 1.00

00:36:45.880 Well, it's 2020.

00:36:47.060 It's four years later.

00:36:47.840 We have a presumptive Democratic nominee now.

00:36:50.980 Joe Biden.

00:36:52.600 Does the radical, the radicalism couldn't touch old Joe, could it?

00:36:55.180 Old Joe, we've known Joe Biden for 50 years in politics.

00:36:58.060 He's a moderate.

00:36:59.300 He's just regular old, old Uncle Joe.

00:37:01.600 And he's so, so lovable.

00:37:04.000 He'll, he'll be fine.

00:37:05.060 He won't sell out to the radical left.

00:37:07.180 Well, some of the most prominent radical leftist activists in the country seem to think that Joe Biden can absolutely be manipulated.

00:37:16.440 I'm thinking of Angela Davis, an out and out avowed communist who exploits the issue of race, the power of melanin, to quote Nick Cannon, to push an explicitly communist agenda.

00:37:31.160 She thinks Biden is easily manipulated.

00:37:33.820 I don't see this election as being about choosing a candidate who will be, who will be able to lead us in the right direction.

00:37:42.780 It will be about choosing a candidate who can be most effectively pressured into allowing more space for the evolving anti-racist movement.

00:37:56.820 Biden is far more likely to take mass demands seriously.

00:38:02.820 Seriously.

00:38:04.300 He's, he's much more likely to do that.

00:38:07.340 So you've got to vote for Joe Biden because he's a doddering old man who is politically relatively weak and who is going to listen to what the radicals want.

00:38:15.640 And if you doubt Angela Davis, because I generally doubt the things that communists tell me, though she has been prominent for many years, take it from Biden himself, who just recently quoted Chairman Mao.

00:38:28.320 One of the most blood-soaked communist dictators in history, Biden quoted Mao.

00:38:35.000 He thought he was quoting, quote, an old Chinese proverb.

00:38:39.140 And the proverb is this.

00:38:40.520 Biden said, according to news reports, women hold up half the sky.

00:38:46.720 So it's an old Chinese proverb.

00:38:49.080 It's not that old.

00:38:50.240 It's a saying of Mao Zedong. 0.99

00:38:53.800 Mao Zedong said this because he wanted to make the argument that women were an important labor resource and women needed to leave the home and shouldn't be homemakers anymore.

00:39:03.800 And should go out and work in the fields and work in industry and advance the cultural leftist revolution.

00:39:11.260 So you've got the guy already now promoting the explicit sayings of communist dictators.

00:39:19.220 Not, not a good position to be in.

00:39:21.660 Even Joe Biden, who is probably the most moderate guy left in his party, really is just an empty suit who licks his finger, puts it up in the air and figures out which way the wind blows.

00:39:30.420 Joe Biden now is ceding all that ground to the radical left.

00:39:36.260 And they're going to, they're going to continue to exploit it time and time again as we get closer to November.

00:39:42.280 And they'll use that fault line, that power of melanin, that weak spot on race.

00:39:46.960 But this is all about a radical ideology.

00:39:49.480 And, and when their efforts fail, when they fade away, when the race riots ebb and the people stop caring about the lockdowns that are going to kill 2 million or 10 million people and the predictions don't, don't come true, they'll find some other crazy way to distract you.

00:40:07.440 So much of this seems to be about distractions.

00:40:09.320 Distractions, Burger King, Burger King is the latest company to get really woke.

00:40:14.280 Their new ad campaign is not about how delicious their hamburgers are.

00:40:18.500 The bigger the burger, the better the burger, the burger is bigger at Burger King.

00:40:21.140 No, they're, they now, the woke culture has gotten so extreme, so absurd that their ad campaign is about how they are as a corporation reducing bovine flatulence in the atmosphere.

00:40:35.300 When cows fart and burp and splatter, well an ain't no laughing matter, they're releasing methane every time they do. 0.61

00:40:46.360 And that methane from the rear goes up to the atmosphere and pollutes our planet warming me and you.

00:40:55.820 Guess I'm nothing that the past is a greenhouse gas that'll trap the sun's heat and change our climate too.

00:41:07.180 Gee, is it hot in here or is it just me?

00:41:10.380 So to change our emissions, Burger King went on a mission.

00:41:15.660 Testing diets that would help reduce their farts.

00:41:19.600 That's a start.

00:41:20.500 When I'm thinking of what to eat for lunch or dinner, the image that I definitely don't want in my mind is cows passing gas.

00:41:43.040 That doesn't, that's not nice.

00:41:44.640 That doesn't sound good.

00:41:45.560 And by the way, presumably, they're talking about this new grass that they have that's going to reduce the amount of times that cows do that.

00:41:50.700 Presumably then, that, that, that air is going to be trapped inside the cows and it's going to end up in our hamburgers, which is even more disgusting.

00:41:57.760 That doesn't sound very good.

00:41:59.980 Advertising used to talk, talk about how great their product was, make it so much more attractive.

00:42:04.420 And yet, now everything has become so politicized.

00:42:07.600 The personal is the political.

00:42:09.440 Everything.

00:42:09.840 I mean, this, this was the, this was the promise of the rise of identity politics that now we're all so obsessed with was that when you're, when you have a separation between the public and the private, the personal and the political that we require in a democratic republic, then the conservatives are going to win because we can have reasoned debate.

00:42:28.560 But when you have identity politics, when you just talk, when you talk about the sun people and the ice people, and you talk about how those people are less than, they're savage, they're, they're like animals and we're like, we're civilized humans and that's it based on our race.

00:42:42.480 When, when you have that, then you're, you, you're a much more reliable voting block.

00:42:46.420 The personal is, everything's got to become political now, including cheap hamburgers.

00:42:51.020 When I think of bovine flatulence, it occurs to me, maybe I've been wrong about this whole mask thing.

00:42:55.620 Maybe I've got to start wearing face coverings.

00:42:57.040 That is, by the way, the guidance now from the CDC, CDC director, Dr. Robert Redfield, insisting that people wear their face masks.

00:43:07.940 Face coverings work.

00:43:10.420 It's our major defense to prevent ourselves from getting this infection.

00:43:14.160 If all of us would put on a face covering now for the next four weeks to six weeks, I think we could drive this epidemic to the ground in the country.

00:43:22.820 Oh, that's all it takes.

00:43:24.160 We just wear, we just wear a mask for the next four to six weeks and then we can drive this epidemic to the ground.

00:43:32.700 Really wish someone told me that 130 days ago.

00:43:35.880 Really wish someone told me that in March.

00:43:38.600 Actually, do you know what they were telling us in March when the, when the virus was exploding all around the country?

00:43:42.920 Do you know what our public health officials, including the most prominent one, Dr. Fauci was telling us?

00:43:46.540 They were telling us not to wear the masks.

00:43:49.720 There's no reason to be walking around with a mask.

00:43:53.760 When you're in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet.

00:44:03.140 But it's not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is.

00:44:08.260 And often there are unintended consequences.

00:44:12.140 People keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face.

00:44:15.100 So somebody made a giant blunder here, it would seem to me.

00:44:21.420 Either the guy who at the beginning of this whole thing told us not to wear the masks, Dr. Fauci,

00:44:25.620 or the guy who's now saying we could completely route the virus if we wear masks for four weeks.

00:44:31.880 Both of whom are top public health officials in the country.

00:44:34.440 Or they're lying, or they're cynics, or they just, in any case, have no credibility.

00:44:41.700 No credibility at all.

00:44:42.660 It is not possible to have a reasonable discussion about this virus, about this issue.

00:44:47.440 Because the experts that we're supposed to be listening to cannot be trusted.

00:44:52.420 Because they have changed their tune with political winds.

00:44:55.800 And even if it weren't with political winds, even if they just were incompetent and got it wrong,

00:45:00.120 they got it wrong so spectacularly.

00:45:02.780 And forget even just the masks.

00:45:03.920 They got it wrong in the models.

00:45:05.140 They got it wrong all over the place.

00:45:07.360 They got it wrong so spectacularly, we cannot trust them.

00:45:11.840 We cannot have reasonable dialogue.

00:45:15.380 The New York Times can't have reasonable dialogue.

00:45:18.500 You and I can't.

00:45:19.480 We're not allowed to have reasonable dialogue. 1.00

00:45:21.040 We have to remain distracted with stupid nonsense, like bovine flatulence, 1.00

00:45:27.400 and like the sun people and the ice people and the power of melanin. 1.00

00:45:31.600 We have to be misdirected with stupid nonsense, like renaming the Washington Redskins. 0.99

00:45:38.860 They're going to rename. 1.00

00:45:39.380 They've talked about it for years.

00:45:40.660 White liberals have threatened to do this for years.

00:45:42.760 Rename the Washington Redskins because white liberals are offended on behalf of Native Americans.

00:45:47.480 Washington Post put out a survey when this first became a big issue a few years ago.

00:45:50.900 They surveyed a group of Native Americans asked,

00:45:54.600 How many of you are terribly offended by the name Washington Redskins and want it changed?

00:46:00.520 Nine out of ten didn't care.

00:46:04.120 Nobody cares. 1.00

00:46:05.080 Ridiculous, stupid nonsense meant to divide us, meant to prevent reasonable discourse, 1.00

00:46:15.820 meant to keep us all ginned up in hysteria and rage so that we can't see what is happening all around us, 1.00

00:46:23.240 the clear political agendas that are being advanced.

00:46:26.460 Three more months to the election, folks.

00:46:28.640 I think we've got to get our heads out of that place where the air is coming out of the cows.

00:46:33.680 I think we've got to stop talking about the power of melanin

00:46:37.220 and start talking about the real political power that we could exercise

00:46:40.160 if we could only understand the stakes.

00:46:42.600 That's our show.
