00:00:00.000 AOC has suffered maybe the worst sort of attack imaginable. You could never imagine this kind of
00:00:09.660 thing happening to a member of Congress. She deserves our support. She deserves our sympathy. 1.00
00:00:16.940 A fellow politician allegedly called AOC a mean name. She'll explain it to you in her 0.98
00:00:25.740 histrionic House floor address. I was walking up the steps of the Capitol when Representative
00:00:31.620 Yoho suddenly turned a corner and he was accompanied by Representative Roger Williams
00:00:38.580 and accosted me on the steps right here in front of our nation's Capitol.
00:00:43.280 I was minding my own business, walking up the steps and Representative Yoho put his finger in my face.
00:00:51.840 He called me disgusting. He called me crazy. He called me out of my mind.
00:00:57.740 And he called me dangerous. I took a few steps ahead and I walked inside and cast my vote.
00:01:06.580 I walked back out and there were reporters in the front of the Capitol. And in front of reporters,
00:01:13.400 Representative Yoho called me and I quote, a f***ing b***h.
00:01:17.840 The horror, the horror, a politician called another politician. An insulting name never happened before.
00:01:27.000 And AOC, who regularly compares Donald Trump to Hitler, is very, very upset about that.
00:01:32.960 What is most nauseating here is not even the histrionics. It is the self-obsession. And you
00:01:38.880 see this kind of self-obsession from a lot of fake martyrs, a lot of make-believe martyrs,
00:01:43.800 who tend to inflict a lot more harm on other people, but a lot more other people in a bad
00:01:49.620 situation than they find themselves. We'll get into all of it. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the
00:01:54.180 Michael Knowles Show.
00:02:03.140 Terrible. I hope she's okay. I hope she's surviving this. You know, the strong woman who's taking over
00:02:08.200 Washington. I hope she's surviving being called a mean name. Allegedly. Allegedly. The guy who she 0.88
00:02:13.840 accuses of doing this, by the way, completely denies it. We will get into that first, though.

00:03:27.400 that matter most. AOC is outraged. Rightly so. Someone called her a mean name. Now,
00:03:36.620 we've gone through on this show before some of the mean names that politicians have called other
00:03:40.720 politicians throughout history. John Adams famously said of Alexander Hamilton that there were not
00:03:46.960 enough whores in Philadelphia to contain his secretions. And by the way, those two guys were 0.99
00:03:51.800 in the same political party. Right? So politics has always been nasty. AOC says she's a big, strong 0.99
00:03:57.840 woman. She's very tough. She can handle this. She can go toe-to-toe with any man. And then she gives 1.00
00:04:02.700 this whiny floor address at the House of Representatives that sets women back at least, 1.00
00:04:08.060 what, 300 years? I don't know. So the issue, I don't think she's really offended. I think she's putting
00:04:13.840 on a histrionic show. And what it comes down to is a matter of pride, self-obsession. What she's so
00:04:20.200 shocked by is that someone would speak that way to a member of Congress. These are the words that
00:04:28.000 Representative Yoho levied against a congresswoman. The congresswoman that not only represents New York's
00:04:36.060 14th congressional district, but every congresswoman and every woman in this country. Because all of us
00:04:43.000 have had to deal with this in some form, some way, some shape, at some point in our lives.
00:04:51.140 So you see, AOC is really a stand-in for every other woman in Congress. It's not about AOC, 0.94
00:04:56.980 whether or not this fellow congressman actually said this about her. It's not about AOC. It's about
00:05:02.200 every single woman, because AOC is the embodiment of every woman. And he said it to a congresswoman.
00:05:07.540 Oh my gosh. Look, I like some congressmen. Some congressmen are friends of mine. I sound like I'm,
00:05:14.660 this is like, you know, look, some of my best friends are black. Look, some of my best friends
00:05:17.560 are congresswomen. Okay. But this, we're not talking about like the emperor of the West. We're not talking
00:05:25.060 about some high ranking prelate or something. You're a congressman. Okay. Congress doesn't have a great
00:05:29.780 reputation among politicians. Even they're considered a little bit on the less popular,
00:05:35.440 less favorable end of things. Get over yourself. There's over 400 of you, for goodness sakes.
00:05:41.820 Just get over yourself. Get over it. There's so many people who go to Washington to be a congressman.
00:05:48.380 They don't want to do anything. They just want to be a congressman. And maybe that's what we can hope
00:05:52.100 for from AOC. Because if she actually accomplishes the things she said, she says that she wants to
00:05:56.380 accomplish, that would be very, very bad for the country. She extrapolates from herself to all
00:06:01.780 women. And then she goes from all women to describing this pervasive, toxic culture. 0.99
00:06:08.520 And that's when we start to see that this issue is not about one incident. It is cultural. It is a
00:06:17.400 culture of lack of impunity, of accepting of violence and violent language against women.
00:06:24.020 And an entire structure of power that supports that.
00:06:29.320 So this congressman, who called a fellow congressman a mean word, apparently, is now
00:06:34.140 basically doing the same thing as if he beat his wife. She's saying he's inflicting violence on women.
00:06:42.100 It's a little confusing because she doesn't know how to use the words that were written for her. So
00:06:46.060 she says this culture of the lack of impunity. And because she doesn't know what the word impunity
00:06:51.940 means and probably shouldn't have said lack of before that. But she's creating this histrionic
00:06:57.740 performance that she is the martyr. A guy says a mean word to her on Capitol Hill. And therefore,
00:07:04.420 it's basically like she's a beaten, a battered housewife. Crazy, right? Nobody, nobody would 0.98
00:07:11.380 believe that sort of thing. I think it's very bad to say mean things to women. The congressman she's
00:07:15.760 accusing of doing this, by the way, says he never said it. So I don't know. I have no reason to believe
00:07:19.500 AOC. She's lied about everything else in her life, so she's probably lying about this. But, you know,
00:07:23.820 if she did, we don't like hearing those kind of mean words about women. But what AOC is saying here
00:07:28.680 is, I'm a big, strong, tough politician. Well, then you've got to act like one. But they don't want to
00:07:33.800 do that. They want to play fake martyrs, not just members of Congress. Even, I mean, members of Congress
00:07:40.000 are probably the least sympathetic figures in all of American life. But just below that, you have
00:07:45.520 teacher union public teachers. Teacher union public teachers. Look, there are some wonderful
00:07:51.080 teachers. Some of the greatest influences in my whole life have been teachers. But I think we all
00:07:56.660 know the difference between that good teacher who cares about the students and the teachers union
00:08:00.600 teacher who gets all these great benefits, who gets protected by the government, who's probably not
00:08:07.180 that great a teacher, and who wants privileges that nobody else in society gets. Well, that's what
00:08:12.020 we're seeing with this COVID reopening or online learning or who knows how the schools are going
00:08:18.460 to react. There's a teacher. I don't know if you know some teachers in your life. I've seen it just
00:08:22.860 on Facebook and Twitter. Teachers saying, I don't want to be a sacrificial lamb. I don't want it. I
00:08:27.640 don't want to go into the COVID where I only have a 99.7% chance of survival, at least, probably much
00:08:34.620 higher than that. Even though very few studies, first of all, there are no studies that say that the
00:08:40.720 kids are going to spread this to the teachers and it's going to be some awful, terrible thing where
00:08:44.040 all the teachers die. But there's a teacher who spoke to Good Morning America. She said, quote,
00:08:47.980 I'm so sick of being expected to be some sort of martyr because I decided to be a teacher.
00:08:53.040 And if you give me that, you knew what you were getting into when you decided to be a teacher.
00:08:57.640 Crap. I've got a whole host of things to say to you, none of which you're going to like.
00:09:01.580 Now, I'm just expected to risk my life getting COVID because of the government's failure to act on
00:09:06.280 this pandemic. I don't think so. This isn't my fault. It's not the teacher's fault.
00:09:12.760 This was a young woman, by the way, who statistically has a 0% chance of dying of the coronavirus.
00:09:18.760 She is pretending to be the martyr here, right? Meanwhile, she's inflicting, she's pretending to
00:09:24.100 be receiving harm by this coronavirus, even though no evidence of that. And she is inflicting real harm
00:09:30.320 on America's students because America's students are just expected not to have an education or to stay at
00:09:34.620 home where actually the spread of coronavirus might be worse based on some studies. But speaking of
00:09:39.260 studies, the CDC, pretty clear here, says, quote, the best available evidence from countries that
00:09:44.480 have opened schools indicates that COVID-19 poses low risks to school-aged children, at least in areas
00:09:50.420 with low community transmission, and suggests the children are unlikely to be major drivers of the
00:09:55.940 spread of the virus. We've seen studies out of Finland and Sweden, Sweden, which famously didn't even
00:10:01.480 shut down of the school-aged children based on contact tracing. They're not spreading it to each
00:10:07.140 other. They're not spreading it to teachers. And then they're not spreading it to their families when
00:10:10.080 they get home. Why is that? I don't know. But as long as we're supposedly deferring to the science
00:10:15.940 everywhere, then I think we need to at least accept that the CDC is the public health body in the United
00:10:22.200 States. And we've got to accept the few studies that we do have. If, if we're going to play by the
00:10:27.700 left's rules of, you've got to listen to the science or we go by the right's rules and actually
00:10:31.600 have an authentic politics of debate and weighing priorities and having ethical discussion. Either
00:10:36.040 way though, reopen the schools. There's no question that that's what we ought to do. But some, some
00:10:43.120 teachers don't want to do that. They, they just want to pretend to be the victims. The victims are
00:10:47.920 inflicting harm. The fake martyrs are inflicting harm. In some cases, this is literal or, or I guess
00:10:54.500 tangible, very visible in videos that go all around the internet. There was a woman that went viral 0.74
00:11:00.280 because she was, she became so hysterical at the thought of a couple having a picnic outdoors that
00:11:08.240 she decided to physically attack them and pretend that she was playing defense. We'll get to that in a 0.98
00:11:13.600 second. First though, got to thank our friends over at Keeps. You know, I love my hair. I derive
00:11:18.880 approximately 83% of all of my power from my hair. But did you know that two out of three guys will

00:12:29.900 slash Knowles. So this lady, this was on Thursday. A lady sees a young couple in a picnic,
00:12:39.040 having a picnic in a park in San Diego. So they're, they're having a picnic, but they don't
00:12:46.260 have masks on. Why don't they have masks on? Well, for one, they're eating and you can't eat
00:12:52.480 through a mask. For another reason, they're far away from other people. They're outdoors. The
00:12:58.000 sun is shining. This woman, she doesn't care. She don't want to hear it. This woman walks up to 1.00
00:13:03.040 them and sprays them with mace. Take a listen. You can see this is just after she sprayed them 0.95
00:13:11.120 with mace. The guy's trying to get her away now. What are you doing? You cannot be serious. You
00:13:18.540 just, you just maced him. You just maced him. You just maced him. You just maced him and their food 0.66
00:13:27.720 because you disagreed. Don't worry. I'm videotaping. Don't worry. I'm not going to.
00:13:33.740 That's not okay. This is not for. That is not okay. Not okay.
00:13:37.280 You can treat people like that. What's wrong with you, lady? That is wrong. 1.00
00:13:42.640 I think this is what we're seeing in our culture a lot today. You're seeing the encounter of delusion
00:13:49.220 with reality. And people are, because they're confusing on the left, the delusion for the reality,
00:13:56.700 they're reacting in real ways. And the rest of us are left shocked. That sounds a little abstract.
00:14:04.840 I'll make it a little more concrete. This, nothing is going to happen to the crazy lady 1.00
00:14:11.280 because a couple is having a picnic because of coronavirus. It's not, the coronavirus is not
00:14:16.440 going to leap from their food, fly across the park and jump on this lady and attack her. 1.00
00:14:21.540 Even if it did, she has a 99.7% chance of survival, at least, at least. And she's wearing her mask,
00:14:29.420 the allegedly magical mask that keeps the coronavirus away.
00:14:32.240 She should have a 0% chance of getting this. But because of the frenzy that people have been
00:14:40.720 whipped up into by the mainstream media, by the left, by the scientific establishment, by the
00:14:45.540 politicians, because it's an election year, because of this frenzy that people are living, because of
00:14:49.720 BLM, because of all the nuttiness that's going on. This woman honestly believed that the only thing 1.00
00:14:56.420 that was an appropriate response for this was to approach the people further exposing her to the
00:15:03.120 allegedly super duper scary virus and spray them in the eyes with mace. That's just a little bit of
00:15:11.460 violence. That's just a tiny bit of violence. BLM around the country is showing you much more
00:15:18.300 significant violence. And it's very sad. It's very sad, even when the rioters get killed.
00:15:25.880 You think people are happy because rioters are getting killed? I don't think so. Nobody wants
00:15:29.840 to see any Americans getting gunned down in the streets, right? That's a bad situation. And it's
00:15:34.560 a bad situation that is caused by BLM and by the civil authorities permitting anarchists to riot and take
00:15:43.060 over our streets. It's this encounter between delusion and reality. The delusion, the lie that's
00:15:49.160 being told that there are, there's an epidemic of racist cops slaughtering unarmed, innocent black
00:15:54.080 men around the country. Not true. Complete lie. Not a, not one iota of that is true. And then you've got
00:16:01.700 the people reacting to that, reacting to that delusion by coming out, taking to the streets,
00:16:07.200 sometimes in pretty aggressive ways. A BLM rider was killed over the weekend. How and why was he
00:16:15.500 killed? Well, he showed up to one of these riots. They're still happening around the country where
00:16:20.980 people are shutting down major intersections, mobbing up on cars, right? Coming up and attacking
00:16:25.620 people. And he shows up to one of these with an AK-47. Not even an AR-15. Some people don't know the
00:16:32.020 difference between these things. The AR-15 is based off of Western rifles and the AK-47 is based off of
00:16:39.140 like Soviet rifles that you see more in the Middle East and in, in Russia. He's got, that's the one
00:16:44.280 with that kind of bendy magazine. So the, he shows up with this AK-47. Then a group of people, including
00:16:53.040 him, mob a car and start attacking the car. And then some bullets ring out and it is being disputed.
00:17:01.920 Who fired first and what exactly happened. Take a listen.
00:17:07.880 So you see people just totally taking over the street, walking everywhere.
00:17:14.040 Can't really see quite where those bullets are coming from. Cameraman drops to the floor.
00:17:21.200 Let's back up. You see some more. There's more exchange of fire.
00:17:23.860 Where are we? Where are we? Are we in Fallujah? Are we living in the Middle East or something?
00:17:35.580 Why is this happening on our streets? Why, even before the bullets rang out, why are
00:17:40.660 hordes of people allowed to shut down whole streets and intersections in the first place?
00:17:46.940 Why is that being permitted? And what, what exactly happened here? Well, we can at least see from
00:17:51.800 photographs that there's a mob of people that starts mobbing up on a car, starts banging on
00:17:59.240 the car, starts attacking the car. And this guy, Garrett Foster has the AK-47 and he's got it pointed
00:18:07.200 at the car. Now it's being disputed. Was he pointing it at the driver in the car or just at the car?
00:18:11.860 I think that's a little besides the point here. Then the driver in the car, I guess,
00:18:19.460 had a gun on him as well. And the question is who fired first and who returned fire?
00:18:24.380 The family of Garrett Foster are saying that he did not fire first at all. He did not discharge
00:18:31.720 his weapon. There was a police press conference last night that said that the, according to the
00:18:39.080 driver, the gunman, Garrett Foster pointed the gun at him in his car. And so he discharged his gun,
00:18:46.200 pulled away, and then another protester fired. Who really knows? Here's what I know.
00:18:52.100 If a driver is in a car and he's got a gun because it's Texas and he, you know, and if this,
00:18:58.540 by the way, were earlier America, people would be armed much more regular than they are, than they are
00:19:02.960 today. The left now wants to disarm everybody, particularly the guns that Garrett Foster was
00:19:08.220 using. But because the narrative is flipped now, because it's politically convenient for them to
00:19:12.420 support this guy with the gun, all of a sudden they've dropped all of their gun control arguments.
00:19:17.060 We know that there was a guy in a car with a gun. We know that there was a mob of anarchists that
00:19:23.200 have been taking over our streets for the last many weeks. We know that one of these rioters had an AK-47
00:19:30.220 and it was not just strapped behind him or something like that. We've seen him holding the
00:19:36.160 gun and it was pointed somewhere in the vicinity of this driver at the car, maybe not quite at the
00:19:42.540 driver, but somewhere there. If you are in that situation and you've got a mob attacking your car
00:19:49.200 and one of those guys has an AK-47 and that AK-47 is pointed at your car, you are 1000% within your
00:19:58.120 rights to defend yourself. To defend your property for one, but also to defend yourself because guess
00:20:04.940 what's going to happen if they get you out of that car? Nothing good. Nothing good is going to
00:20:10.080 happen. Driver from every piece of evidence that we have right now, completely justified. In fact,
00:20:16.060 we even have the media gaslighting on this is so outrageous that they're trying to cover up these
00:20:20.740 videos. We have video of the guy, of the, the demonstrator was killed discussing why he brought
00:20:26.980 the AK-47 in graphic language.
00:20:33.800 They don't let us march in the streets anymore. So I've got to practice some, some of our rights.
00:20:44.620 Do you feel like you'll need to use it?
00:20:48.540 Nah, I think the, uh, I mean, if I use it against the cops, I'm dead. And I think all the people that hate us
00:20:57.700 and, you know, want to say to us are too big of, uh, to stop and actually do anything about it.
00:21:05.800 Why'd you start carrying?
00:21:07.640 Well, our roommate got arrested and they stopped letting us march anywhere. So
00:21:11.140 started carrying.
00:21:13.140 So he's got the gun strapped across his front, not across his back. He's got it strapped across his
00:21:18.220 front. And he says, yeah, I've got this out here because I think the people that want to stop us
00:21:23.360 from taking over the streets and bullying and intimidating them and, and disobeying the law,
00:21:28.980 I think the people who want to stop us, they're too big wusses. I'll say wusses. He used a more
00:21:33.900 colorful word wusses to actually do anything about it. So this is aggressive language. This is
00:21:39.440 threatening language. And of course he's got a mask over his face, ostensibly for COVID. Although,
00:21:46.560 you know, all of the Antifa guys have had masks over their face forever. And he's got the AK in front of
00:21:52.480 him. It's not a good situation to be in. And by the way, the people who are encouraging these riots
00:21:59.560 are in part culpable for this guy's death. He, look, he's, he don't take your guns to town,
00:22:06.800 son. Leave your guns at home, boy. Don't take your guns to town is, uh, some age old advice in
00:22:11.080 American life. But if you're going to go there and you're going to have it out and you're going to be
00:22:15.960 in a provocative situation and you're going to be with a group that's attacking a car and you're
00:22:19.980 going to maybe have it pointed at the car and then you're putting yourself in an impossible
00:22:24.400 situation. That's not the, the narrative that the media are going to push to you. They're going
00:22:30.660 to throw out everything they've ever believed about guns and police or, and, and protesting rather.
00:22:36.340 But just imagine for a second, I guess this is, this is how you can tell what the real story is.
00:22:41.060 Imagine that that guy, Garrett Foster, were a member of the Tea Party. It's impossible to be as
00:22:45.180 the Tea Party was the best behaved political movement, probably in the history of our country.
00:22:49.080 But imagine that guy were in the Tea Party and you had a Tea Party guy show up with an AR-15
00:22:54.780 and he's out there and they're mobbing cars. And let's say it were cars of Democrats, you know,
00:23:00.640 or people of color or women, I don't know, whatever, whatever, you know, identity group the left is
00:23:06.900 going to use. And then that person defended themselves. Do you really think the media would be,
00:23:13.280 would be upset about that? No, they would be, they would be celebrating that someone defended
00:23:20.300 themselves against these presumably racist, terrible, no good, awful. They're like Nazis in
00:23:25.540 the streets, these protesters. That's what you would hear if it were the Tea Party. But because
00:23:30.500 it's the left, they throw everything, everything out of the window. In fact, they call it, I kid you
00:23:35.400 not, I've got ABC news right here. They call it mostly peaceful, which we'll get to in one second.
00:23:40.740 But first, I've got to thank our friends over at Rock Auto. You know, it can be very frustrating
00:23:47.160 when you've got to fix something on your car and you can't get the right part. Rockauto.com is a

00:24:07.460 I don't know anything about cars. Some of my friends do work on cars, which like, that's nice.
00:24:11.680 That's a real, real benefit. But I, myself, I don't know anything. So if I go into the,
00:24:15.500 the brick and mortar car, car parts store, I'm going to get ripped off. They're going to,
00:24:19.540 first of all, they're not going to have the part. Then they're going to go online. Then
00:24:21.520 they're going to probably go to rockauto.com, order it and charge me twice as much. The rockauto.com

00:24:48.820 in their, how did you hear about us box? So they know that we sent you.
00:24:52.180 So there have been, we're not just talking about one city or however many, there, this is going on
00:25:02.540 all over the country. And ABC News does not want you to think about the bullets that are flying,
00:25:08.240 the buildings that are being lit on fire, the people being killed, the looters, the statues top. They
00:25:13.120 want you to hear about the peaceful protesters, even when, even within the same sentence that they're
00:25:19.940 reporting on violence. So this was a tweet from ABC News. Protesters in California set fire to a
00:25:24.940 courthouse, damaged a police station and assaulted officers after a peaceful demonstration intensified.
00:25:36.040 In the face of that, I, I lose my capacity to speak the English language. If that is how the
00:25:44.040 language will be used today, I can't, I guess we don't speak the same language. For one, protesters,
00:25:49.940 don't set fire to courthouses, right? A pro, a protester is a kind of modal description.
00:25:57.220 It depends what you're doing that qualifies you as a protester. So for instance, if you're protesting,
00:26:02.480 then you're a protester. When I go out and I protest, I'm, I'm protesting. When I'm, when I go to the
00:26:09.760 beach and I lie down in a chair, I'm a sunbather, right? Those descriptions are based on what I'm doing
00:26:15.620 at the time. When, when I'm setting a courthouse on fire, I cease to be a protester. But then this
00:26:20.420 is the kicker. When a peaceful demonstration intensifies, that, that means it, it becomes
00:26:28.680 more of what it is. So if a peaceful demonstration intensifies, it's going to become more peaceful.
00:26:36.380 If, if my guitar solo that I'm playing intensifies, then I'm going to be playing like more of a guitar
00:26:44.340 solo. You know, it's gonna be faster. It's going to be really hotter, right? If, if I'm having some
00:26:50.360 ice cream, some sweet vanilla ice cream and the flavor intensifies, well, that means it's going to
00:26:56.460 become more vanilla, more sweet, more of the ice cream. When a peaceful demonstration intensifies,
00:27:02.260 it does not become violent. That's, that's what happens when it becomes its opposite,
00:27:07.000 when it reverses course. But something tells me, something tells me it was never a peaceful
00:27:11.460 demonstration in the first place. This is just gaslighting. It's outright denial. And this is
00:27:16.460 what you see from major politicians. Our friend Fleckis, Austin Fletcher, somehow managed to meet up with
00:27:25.040 democratic rep, Jerry Nadler on the street, presents all of this evidence to him, bullets ringing out across
00:27:30.940 the country, masked bandits, attacking people, attacking cars, looting stores, pulling down
00:27:36.900 statues. He says, what do you have to say about this? What do you have to say about Antifa? The
00:27:40.080 organized group that has its own flag, that has its own logo. What do you have to say about that?
00:27:45.380 Jerry, like so many other people will deny it. We'll get to that in one second. First though,
00:27:50.080 got to thank you. Thank you for heading on over and subscribing to the Michael Knowles Show YouTube

00:28:17.920 with a whole lot more. I don't know who set up this meeting, but you've got Fleckes, who's a pretty
00:28:34.880 big guy, meeting up with Jerry Nadler. And Jerry Nadler is a more petite in the height department.
00:28:40.120 And so it's just kind of a funny look to begin with. Fleckes presents to Congressman Nadler,
00:28:47.640 you know, all the evidence about Antifa. What does Nadler have to say? What are they going to do
00:28:51.720 about Antifa? He denies it exists. It is true. There's violence across the whole country. Do
00:28:57.460 you disavow the violence from Antifa? That's happening in Portland right now? That's a myth
00:29:02.600 that's being spread only in Washington, D.C. About Antifa in Portland? Yes. Sir,
00:29:07.440 there's videos everywhere online. There's fires and riots. They're throwing fireworks at federal
00:29:12.940 officers. DHS is there. Look online. It gets crazy, Mr. Nadler. It is crazy. I love Fleckes'
00:29:20.540 attitude. He's just like, because Fleckes looks a little bit like a left winger. You know,
00:29:24.460 he's got the beard and everything. He wears shorts a lot. So left wingers are more likely to talk to
00:29:30.120 him. And then he comes up and he just spits facts at them and they run away as Jerry Nadler did there.
00:29:34.620 Why does he deny this? As he denies this, you can't deny the, everyone's seen the photos and I'm,
00:29:42.200 I'm certain that people on Capitol Hill have seen the photos and the videos all over the country.
00:29:47.320 The Democrats are denying this because Antifa is the military wing of the Democratic Party.
00:29:52.880 That's it. That's the only explanation. Don't you think that you, if there were violence going on in
00:29:59.300 the streets and this had no association with you and you did not benefit from that violence,
00:30:04.200 that you would denounce it or try to stop it? I mean, you know, the left always says of the right,
00:30:08.560 of the Republicans that, you know, that we've, we've got these neo-Nazis and white supremacists
00:30:13.420 who are really pervasive and violent, which is not true. There are like four of them in the entire
00:30:18.140 country. But every time you hear one of these incidents of some neo-Nazis or something,
00:30:24.020 Republicans denounce it immediately, try to put a stop to it. The left does not do that with Antifa,
00:30:30.120 which is, which is much more pervasive and committing much more violence.
00:30:34.340 Why? Because Antifa is the military wing of the Democratic Party. I was, I'm looking around all,
00:30:41.300 all of this, by the way, is because of the election. The BLM stuff, it's not because of
00:30:45.280 George Floyd. It's because of the election. The COVID lockdowns, we got to stay locked down forever.
00:30:49.020 It's not because of the scientific establishment, because of scientific papers. The scientific
00:30:54.600 papers say to reopen the schools, right? See, a scientific paper can't say that, but a scientific
00:30:59.580 organization like the CDC reading scientific papers from Finland and Sweden and other places
00:31:04.260 says reopen the schools. It doesn't matter. Nothing about the current COVID response has anything to do
00:31:10.300 with COVID or any virus or anything like that. It has to do with the election. And I thought,
00:31:15.180 is this just what election year is going to be like from now on? Are we so at each
00:31:19.000 other's throats? Don't forget, we've had these tough, really tight elections, at least for 20
00:31:23.320 years now, at least since Bush v. Gore, where they didn't want to give up the White House then.
00:31:29.140 Is it, are we just going to have violence in the streets and shooting in the streets now every,
00:31:32.720 every four years? Because the left can't handle the fact that they're losing elections?
00:31:38.800 Is that what's going to happen? I hope not. But it seems like we might be getting that
00:31:44.180 because we're just getting excuses for violence. And the people who are pretending to be the aggrieved
00:31:52.440 victims here very often are the ones inflicting much more harm on others. For instance, a complete
00:32:00.200 degenerate by the name of Isaiah Jackson just photographed himself kneeling on a two-year-old
00:32:08.800 child's neck. Isaiah Jackson is a 20-year-old black guy. The child is a white two-year-old wearing a
00:32:15.160 diaper, being held down by another arm in the photo. We don't know who that arm belongs to. I think it
00:32:21.300 belongs to a woman. And he's shirtless. He's throwing some kind of sign down there. Child is crying.
00:32:28.520 And it says BLM now, MF. You look at this, it's really a heinous photo. Fortunately, this guy has 0.70
00:32:38.960 been arrested, though he was arrested for a probation violation. This, you know, this wonderful
00:32:44.160 peaceful demonstrator, peaceful protester, ex-con degenerate who should never, ever, ever be
00:32:52.000 permitted out of prison. At least, at least, never, ever. This guy posts a photo as he is violently
00:33:01.360 attacking a two-year-old child. And in that photo, he pretends to be the victim. The photo, which is
00:33:10.140 very difficult to look at, is emblematic of the whole damn culture. The violent aggressor pretends to be
00:33:21.480 the victim. That's what's happening. That's what's happening right now. BLM now, Mother Effer.
00:33:30.520 This is a two-year-old child, cries. Fortunately, in the case of this guy, he's been arrested and I
00:33:35.620 hope he never sees the light of day again. Hope he's going to be in that prison cell. Maybe, I don't
00:33:41.520 know, maybe ship him to Gitmo or something. I don't know. No civil punishment could be too extreme for
00:33:48.260 this guy. But he's just one guy. How about all the other people who have shut down our city streets
00:33:53.700 for the past several weeks? Attacked public property, attacked people, ruined businesses,
00:33:59.220 ruined lives, burned things down, burned down our country. What about that? Why are we inflicting
00:34:05.840 this harm on ourself? It's like a form of neurosis. It's like a form of self-mutilation that we're doing
00:34:14.380 to ourselves as a country. And we're not willing to heal up the wounds. Now, finally, finally, at
00:34:20.220 least, there's a little bit of evidence that the civil authority is going to do something. DHS,
00:34:24.620 Department of Homeland Security, is finally going into Portland and arresting some of these organized
00:34:28.420 anarchists. And the left is throwing a hissy fit about that. And they're just lying, by the way.
00:34:32.980 You know, I was debating this guy, some guy from the Young Turks, Hassan Piker. We were on a local
00:34:38.440 Fox show here. And he, he was giving, I don't think he was lying in that. I don't think he knew
00:34:44.680 he was saying things that are not true. He was just repeating boilerplate leftist talking points
00:34:48.360 that just, that are just demonstrably false. So he said, un, un, uniformed federal agents are going
00:34:56.640 into Portland. That's not true. All of the DHS officers going into Portland have uniforms on there.
00:35:04.140 It doesn't say who they're with. Yes, it does. It says DHS right on their uniforms. Well,
00:35:08.720 it doesn't say who the officers are. Yes, it does. It's got their officer ID numbers right above
00:35:12.560 DHS on their uniforms. Well, they have no right to go into Portland. Actually, the whole reason DHS
00:35:18.500 was founded, one of the main reasons it was founded at the very least was to protect federal property
00:35:24.100 and federal courthouses being attacked. Well, okay, but they don't have any right to leave the federal
00:35:29.180 grounds and pursue criminals on the city streets. Actually they do. It's very clear that they do.
00:35:33.580 It's in the US code. They're doing, they are doing exactly what they were set up to do. But now
00:35:41.500 when you enforce the law in any way, that is considered lawless by the left. And when you
00:35:46.860 engage in lawlessness, that is considered the height of justice under the law. Consider the New York
00:35:53.120 Times. Consider the New York Times. BLM always has to be right. You know that. The leftist narrative
00:36:00.420 always has to be right and good. They're the martyrs. No matter what, no matter what the evidence,
00:36:06.840 no matter what photos we see with little crying two-year-old children, no matter what videos we
00:36:12.120 see, they've got to be in the right. New York Times tweets this out. To understand what's wrong with our
00:36:18.140 public education system, you have to look at what's arguably the most powerful force in our schools,
00:36:22.340 white parents. Listen to the trailer for Nice White Parents, a new series from Serial brought to you
00:36:28.040 from the New York Times, brought to you by the New York Times. Yeah, those white people, they're 0.93
00:36:33.100 terrible, huh? They're terrible. This was my response. I tweeted out when the Times sent this
00:36:37.140 out. I said, yeah, white people are terrible. I hate those white people so much. They're so much 0.55
00:36:41.480 worse than all the other people because all those other people are better than the white people 1.00
00:36:44.960 because their skin is a different color. Hashtag anti-racism. Now, this is theoretically kind
00:36:52.900 of humorous, right? Because it's very racist what the New York Times said, but not according to the
00:36:58.220 New York Times' own logic. Actually, according to the New York Times' logic, this is anti-racist
00:37:04.020 because according to the New York Times, according to the left broadly, all white people are racist.
00:37:08.540 They say this openly. There are best-selling books about this right now. You will very likely have to
00:37:12.500 go into some corporate training seminar about how all white people are racist. And more than that, 0.68
00:37:18.200 all racists are white people. There's no such thing as a black racist. There can't be. Even
00:37:23.900 when Nick Cannon says that white people are savages and less than human and don't have souls,
00:37:28.900 that's not racist because you can't be racist against white people. According to the left,
00:37:34.720 that's what they say. They teach this openly at universities and in corporate training sessions.
00:37:40.260 So people look at this, they say, well, New York Times, that's just anti-white. That isn't anti-racist.
00:37:44.600 But for the left, it is by definition the same thing. Obviously, that is redefining words beyond
00:37:51.300 anything even close to what they actually convey. But that's where we are. The people decrying racism,
00:38:02.540 the worst inflictors of racism themselves, the fake martyrs inflicting more harm than anybody else
00:38:10.640 that we see out there. This is the same insane logic on the virus. Whatever the left says at any
00:38:20.480 given time must be true, even if it's immediately contradicted. I was thinking when I was debating
00:38:27.420 that Young Turks guy. He said, well, look, you know, the virus is spreading a lot and we need the masks.
00:38:33.540 I said, right, but there's no evidence that the masks do anything. I said, no, no, there is. That's what
00:38:37.680 the scientists say today. I said, right, but I've got a study. We read it on the show last week. I've
00:38:41.580 got a study. It's not actually not just one study. It's 14 different studies, actual clinical studies,
00:38:49.980 controlled studies on the CDC website that was posted, what, like eight weeks ago or something,
00:38:55.160 seven, eight weeks ago that says the masks don't do anything. And he said, oh no, but that was then.
00:38:59.800 That was, that was seven, eight weeks ago. Now that scientists say that it does something,
00:39:04.280 even though there are no studies about that whatsoever. But you realize there's a problem
00:39:08.760 there. If the scientists were wrong just two months ago, why did we think they're right now?
00:39:16.360 Or worse, as we saw with the masks, when, when all of the public officials said, don't wear masks,
00:39:21.520 masks don't work. And then they turned around immediately and said, you have to wear a mask.
00:39:27.120 We are told, oh, well, they were only saying that the first time to lie to us so they could keep the
00:39:31.880 masks for the healthcare workers. Well, if they were lying to us, then why do we assume they're
00:39:36.700 not lying to us now? Why do, why do we believe them now? There's this problem of credibility.
00:39:42.540 And you saw this on opening day for the Washington nationals. So they decide, the Nats decide
00:39:50.080 to get Dr. Fauci, 79 years old, actually looks pretty good for 79 to throw out the opening pitch.
00:39:56.460 This is probably not going to go so great. Take a listen to the stadium. He's there. He's got the
00:40:06.200 mask on. It goes basically in between home plate and the first, first base. You can't hear anything
00:40:12.320 at the stadium because there's nobody in the stadium. It's a little bit of a setup there
00:40:16.520 because no one's allowed in. And Dr. Fauci in this empty baseball stadium, 60 feet away from anybody
00:40:22.640 on the pitcher's mound, is wearing the stupid mask. He's not going to get coronavirus. He's very
00:40:30.360 socially distanced. He's 10 times socially distanced, but he's got the mask on. And then
00:40:37.000 later, when he thinks the cameras are off, he's sitting in the stands. It's just him and two friends
00:40:42.280 of his. They're the only people in the stands. They get their private baseball game. Nobody else does.
00:40:46.120 And Fauci takes his mask off. His mask is below his mouth and his nose. He's not eating anything.
00:40:54.780 He's not drinking anything. He just doesn't want to wear the mask. Makes sense. I don't want to wear
00:40:58.820 the mask either. And I don't. Very rarely do I wear the mask. There's no way that Dr. Fauci thought
00:41:07.740 that he was at risk of getting coronavirus on the pitcher's mound, but was not at risk of getting
00:41:12.020 coronavirus when he's six inches away from his two friends sitting in the stands. He just isn't
00:41:18.840 worried about getting the coronavirus. And he's not actually of the belief that the masks are going
00:41:25.660 to stop it. I don't think Dr. Fauci's opinion has changed one little bit. I think that if you want to
00:41:33.100 know what somebody really believes and you can either listen to what he says or look at what he does,
00:41:37.620 look at what he does, that will tell you much more about what that person actually believes.
00:41:44.520 I don't think anybody has changed their mind on the masks at all. I think it is a placebo for the
00:41:50.320 society to feel better about everything. But what it's really doing, the effect of it,
00:41:55.600 is not to calm everybody down. That's been the pitch for the masks. Wear the masks and then we can all go
00:41:59.660 back to work and we'll calm everybody down. It won't. The point of the masks, the actual effect of them,
00:42:04.660 is to get everybody super nervous and to look around at all of their fellow citizens like
00:42:08.780 they're walking cesspools of germs and to keep a lid on this economy. And we can't do that forever.
00:42:14.280 You know, the federal government right now is talking about a new stimulus for the coronavirus
00:42:19.480 lockdown. You remember, we have already spent $6 trillion on this to get us through four months.
00:42:24.380 And by the way, that stimulus didn't really get us through those four months. Six trillion. So that
00:42:29.000 means if we extrapolate that over a year, that's going to be at least $18 trillion. And if we spend
00:42:33.340 $18 trillion at the way GDP is currently trending, that's more money than we will produce all year,
00:42:39.060 the whole country. If we took everybody's wealth that they create this year, we still wouldn't have
00:42:43.840 enough money to pay out a year-long federal coronavirus subsidy. So Treasury Secretary Steve
00:42:51.520 Mnuchin met with GOP staffers. They're trying to arrange some new stimulus. They probably do need
00:42:58.240 this. One is a political tool just to get through the election, but also because people are really
00:43:02.140 hurting and the government said, you can't go to work. So you got to do something. If the government's
00:43:05.380 going to shut you down, government's got to help you out. The issue with the last one, which was
00:43:09.380 designed to keep the country locked down through November. That's why the Democrats pushed for it.
00:43:13.940 The problem with the last one is it paid people more on unemployment than they would get otherwise
00:43:18.260 from their jobs. Two thirds of people, according to a Cato Institute study, got more than 100% of their
00:43:23.660 paycheck on the unemployment benefit. Two thirds. One third of people got twice as much as they were
00:43:30.440 making on their unemployment benefit. So that doesn't make sense. The federal government,
00:43:36.760 Steve Mnuchin, is trying to lower that down to making about 70% of what you were making on your
00:43:42.940 salary. That seems about right to me. You need to incentivize people to go back to work. You need
00:43:48.540 to incentivize businesses to reopen. Unfortunately, there's this political battle going on where local
00:43:53.740 governments don't want to reopen and the federal government does. So the federal government is using
00:43:57.700 what's at their disposal to do this. By the way, if the states want to keep you locked down,
00:44:01.580 then they should make up the difference. If it's 70% and you want to make 100%, the states that are
00:44:07.500 forcing you to lock down should be required to make up that difference. Now, fortunately though,
00:44:12.940 somebody is making some money in all of this. And that would be Nicholas Sandman. Do you remember
00:44:19.180 him? He's the Covington school kid. He's the Catholic school kid who showed up for the March for
00:44:23.240 life. He was standing at the National Mall by our monuments before the left was defacing all of our
00:44:27.800 monuments. And he's standing there in a MAGA hat and some group of black supremacists called the
00:44:32.640 Hebrew Israelites were screaming all sorts of terrible things at the kids. And then some Native 1.00
00:44:36.980 American lunatic guy, old man walks up and starts banging a drum in this kid's face. And the kid was
00:44:42.380 very composed and he was smeared by the mainstream media as a racist, as an instigator, as all these sorts
00:44:48.360 of terrible things. So that kid did not take it lying down. He sued. He sued CNN for $250 million.
00:44:55.380 He sued Washington Post for $250 million. He's got six more outstanding lawsuits.
00:45:01.500 They already settled with CNN. CNN already paid this kid out. Washington Post just settled with him
00:45:07.840 too. I hope this kid makes a mint. I hope this kid makes several hundred thousand dollars,
00:45:12.920 several hundred million dollars rather. Six more to go.
00:45:20.120 The whole problem with the Covington story was a confusion of who was the victim and who was the
00:45:27.440 aggressor. In what actually happened, and fortunately other people had cameras around, so we got to see
00:45:32.900 the real story. That doesn't always happen. The real story was that the kid was just standing there
00:45:38.720 minding his own business. And the black supremacists and that Native American with the drum were the 0.87
00:45:44.900 aggressors. That was the real story. And yet what we were told is the Native American man was the
00:45:51.560 martyr and Nick Sandman was the oppressor. And they smeared this kid, ruined his life. In a culture such
00:45:58.160 as ours, in a culture such as ours, you've got to be skeptical of any message of this sort that you
00:46:05.840 get. I'll give you one last example. Netflix just put out this. It's not really a trailer. It's just
00:46:14.220 a clip from a show. It was a woman who kind of took over, not a woman, actually a man who now identifies
00:46:20.500 as a woman, is a writer and took over the Netflix Twitter account for a day and tweeted out this episode 0.99
00:46:29.180 of the Babysitter's Club depicting, quote unquote, a young trans girl. So the Babysitter's Club 0.69
00:46:37.760 has this, it's a scene where there's a young girl and this girl's friend or brother or something is in
00:46:45.560 the hospital. And the person in the hospital is this little boy who's dressed up like a girl.
00:46:51.520 And the doctors and the nurses come in and they misgender the little boy by calling him a boy.
00:46:56.940 Have you been giving him fluids? If he's dehydrated, we'll need to place an IV. Have him change into
00:47:02.260 this. I don't want the blue one. I hear someone's not feeling well. Let's take a look at the little
00:47:09.800 man. Can I please talk to you two outside? I know that you guys are busy, but
00:47:26.600 as you would see, if you looked at her and not her chart, Bailey is not a boy. And by treating her
00:47:34.240 like one, you are completely ignoring who she is. You're making her feel insignificant and humiliated.
00:47:41.140 And that's not going to help her feel good or safe or calm. So from here on out, please recognize
00:47:47.780 her who she is. And if at all possible, could you find me a non-blue hospital gown?
00:47:54.020 I love the doctor is so terrified at the end. I'm sorry. Yes, I'll go get you a hospital gown
00:48:01.040 because that's what doctors do. Doctors go and get hospital gowns, but the doctor probably should 0.89
00:48:04.960 be terrified because now if you suggest that men are not really women and women cannot magically become
00:48:10.640 men, then you're considered a bigot. You'll lose your job. You'll get doxxed. Your family will be
00:48:15.200 attacked. So probably the doctor is right to be fearful. Consider the message that this is sending.
00:48:21.520 The person who tweeted this out, a writer, a trans woman, I mean, you know, a man and a former
00:48:27.580 babysitter. And we need to talk about how wonderful this young, this episode is and this depiction of
00:48:33.880 a young trans person. What's really happening here is that one of the largest studios in Hollywood,
00:48:39.440 in the mainstream media, most powerful culture machine ever devised,
00:48:44.080 is pushing this message that we need to treat confused children, confused little boys, as if
00:48:53.720 they are girls and vice versa. The implication being, by the way, when a confused little boy says he's a
00:49:00.300 girl, instead of saying, no, you're not, just like when I said I was Batman, my mother said, no,
00:49:04.200 you're not Batman. Instead of trying to make the kid come into closer accordance with reality,
00:49:11.020 you indulge that delusion and then presumably you'll pump him full of hormones. You'll fundamentally
00:49:16.100 change his sexual development. This is, this is being pushed already by the so-called transgenderist 1.00
00:49:21.160 advocates. How perverted is that? How perverse is that, that you've now got an entire culture
00:49:28.360 in which if you do not encourage little boys who are confused to become little girls,
00:49:35.180 you're somehow the bad guy. That is some perverse stuff. That is some dark, dark stuff.
00:49:43.760 The villains here are the people who are pretending to be the wonderful, good, compassionate crowd.
00:49:52.740 And the people, the doctor who's just trying to give the little boy, the treatment for the little
00:49:58.820 boy, who's actually trying to heal somebody, he's supposed to be the victim in all, or he's supposed
00:50:04.320 to be the villain, rather, in all of this. A total inversion. It's not just happening in one area or
00:50:10.800 another, it's happening in the whole culture. And if you approach anything, any of this, from the
00:50:16.700 mainstream media to Hollywood, to the scientific establishment, the public health establishment,
00:50:21.360 to the professional race hustlers, to the, the elected politicians who are, who are whining because
00:50:27.540 someone called them a mean word in a political argument. If you are taking any of that at face
00:50:33.220 value, if you were giving any of that the benefit of the doubt, then you don't see just how upside
00:50:38.640 down the culture has become. That's our show. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show. See you tomorrow.

00:51:39.940 You know, The Matt Walsh Show, it's not just another show about politics. I think there are enough of those
00:51:44.440 already out there. We talk about culture because culture drives politics and it drives everything else.
