00:00:30.220 The rioters are starting to hit a little close to home, a little too close for comfort.

00:00:34.640 We've been seeing cities around the country go up in flames.

00:00:37.880 Well, over the weekend, not so far from our studio, there was a pro-Trump rally,

00:00:42.360 just people driving their cars down the boulevard.

00:00:44.880 And the SWAT team was called out because some left-wing lunatic started firing on the parade from a window.

00:00:52.640 Luckily, nobody was injured or killed because generally speaking, the left, they're not very good shots.

00:00:58.860 But they did shoot out a tire in the parade and very few people want to cover that.

00:01:04.300 Well, unfortunately, in some other places, conservatives weren't so lucky because the aim was a little bit better.

00:01:10.580 We are in a state right now of open insurrection in this country.

00:01:15.600 It's not just one city.

00:01:16.940 It's not just one state.

00:01:17.620 It's all over the place.

00:01:18.520 And more importantly, it's not just Antifa.

00:01:21.600 And it's not just Black Lives Matter.

00:01:24.240 It's Democrats.

00:01:25.780 It's Democrats and it's about an election.

00:01:28.020 And at this point, there is no meaningful difference between Antifa and BLM and the Democratic Party.

00:01:33.560 We'll get into the real power behind these riots.

00:01:35.720 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:01:36.300 This is the Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:45.440 Welcome back to the show.

00:01:46.740 My favorite comment from Thursday from Joe, who says,

00:01:50.400 Michael, I really enjoy watching your show while eating my mostly vegan barbecue beef brisket and ribs for lunch.

00:01:56.960 Well, thank you.

00:01:57.580 No, I'm so glad.

00:01:59.240 I, as you know, I am a fiery but mostly peaceful podcast host.

00:02:04.340 So, you know, we fit in well during these crazy times.

00:02:08.640 I want to get into this.

00:02:09.800 There was mayhem to a degree that I had not seen in this country over the weekend.

00:02:15.280 We'll get to what all of that means.

00:02:17.200 Not even just for the election, even moving forward after the election.

00:02:20.360 First, though, got to thank our friends over at CarShield.

00:02:24.040 Never a better time.

00:02:25.160 Never a better time, folks.

00:02:27.400 Computer systems in the car right now are the new normal, right?

00:02:30.740 And look, I don't even know how to use simple cars.

00:02:33.200 I don't even know how to fix cars as they used to be made.

00:02:35.620 Now you've got electronically controlled transmissions.

00:02:38.120 You've got touchscreen displays.

00:02:39.600 You've got sensors galore.

00:02:41.800 There's sensors everywhere.

00:02:43.040 And you can't fix any of these new features by yourself.

00:02:46.520 And I certainly cannot.

00:02:48.220 When something breaks, it can cost a fortune.

00:02:50.420 And now is not the time for expensive repairs.

00:02:52.600 That is why I love CarShield.

00:02:55.160 CarShield has affordable protection plans that can save you thousands for a covered repair, including computer, GPS, electronics, and more.

00:03:01.720 All those things that usually don't get covered.

00:03:03.940 They also have complimentary 24-7 roadside assistance and a rental car while yours is being fixed.

00:03:09.980 Go get it, guys.

00:03:10.980 These guys are really great.

00:03:12.280 They cover all the stuff that very often you will find doesn't get covered.

00:03:16.280 They've helped over 1 million customers drive with confidence knowing that you are covered from America's number one auto protection company.

00:03:23.720 Right now, for as low as $99 a month, you can protect yourself from surprises and save thousands for a covered repair.

00:03:41.360 Code Knowles.

00:03:43.860 So, a very sad story over the weekend.

00:03:46.720 The leftists in Portland, Oregon murdered a Trump supporter.

00:03:51.060 Just out and out shot him.

00:03:52.600 This was not in self-defense.

00:03:54.560 This was not some sort of unfortunate accident that nobody intended.

00:03:58.940 This was cold-blooded, deliberate murder.

00:04:03.140 Take a listen to the scene.

00:04:15.640 What's at least fortunate about the fact that we have this video is, one, it hopefully will be easier to catch the perpetrators.

00:04:23.300 And, two, it's not so gory, you don't see it up close, but it's pretty clear what happened.

00:04:29.100 And the audio is more telling than the video.

00:04:31.040 Because what you can hear there is, we've got a Trumper right here. 0.97

00:04:35.400 We've got a Trumper right here.

00:04:36.800 This is not in self-defense.

00:04:38.260 You know, it's not someone shot first, someone's taking a swing.

00:04:41.060 We've got a Trumper right here.

00:04:43.020 Bang, bang. 0.99

00:04:44.960 Now, initially, Antifa and the rest of the left tried to flip the situation.

00:04:50.900 They tried to claim that they were the victims and that the conservative or the Trump supporter was the aggressor.

00:04:56.480 That was not true.

00:04:57.900 The victim here is Aaron Danielson, also known as Jay Bishop, who is a conservative guy.

00:05:04.680 Andy Ngo, who has done incredible work covering all of this, pointed out that Antifa was falsely claiming to be the victims here.

00:05:11.180 And, but then they kind of admitted it.

00:05:13.980 They admitted that they were the perpetrators.

00:05:15.780 So what did they do?

00:05:16.520 They, of course, called this conservative guy who, according to all evidence around, did not do anything wrong. 0.76

00:05:22.720 They said that they killed a fascist.

00:05:24.600 Not only that, they celebrated his death.

00:05:28.080 Hey, I just got word.

00:05:30.260 The person who died was a patriot-powered person.

00:05:33.620 He was a Nazi. 0.84

00:05:35.580 Our community held its own and took out the trash. 0.92

00:05:39.300 I am not going to show any tears over a Nazi. 0.81

00:05:42.600 Y'all are not angry, you're not paying attention.

00:05:45.080 If y'all are not angry, you're not with me.

00:05:47.240 Everybody wake up.

00:05:48.680 Everybody needs to realize what's going on in these streets.

00:05:52.120 Our community, our community can hold its own without the police.

00:05:55.960 We can take out the trash on our own.

00:05:58.940 I am not sad that a fascist died tonight.

00:06:02.900 And what makes him a fascist?

00:06:07.880 That he supported Trump?

00:06:09.600 That's it, basically.

00:06:12.500 Well, he showed up in support of Trump or in support of conservatives.

00:06:17.120 And listen to the language they use. 0.99

00:06:18.540 They refer to fellow human beings as trash. 0.99

00:06:21.380 And they celebrate and they laugh about killing someone and calling it taking out the trash. 1.00

00:06:28.140 They would do this. 0.99

00:06:29.720 They would celebrate killing any of us, right? 1.00

00:06:33.740 They call him a fascist. 0.94

00:06:34.660 There's no evidence the guy's a fascist.

00:06:36.640 As George Orwell pointed out now 80 years ago, 70 or 80 years ago, the word fascist has essentially lost all meaning.

00:06:45.500 What they're saying is he's a conservative.

00:06:47.540 He's a Trump supporter.

00:06:48.520 He's patriotic.

00:06:49.440 Maybe he wore the MAGA hat.

00:06:50.940 That's what they're saying.

00:06:51.920 That could have been any one of us, any conservative American in this country.

00:06:57.280 They've been calling us deplorable and irredeemable for years.

00:07:00.120 They've been calling us bitter clingers for years.

00:07:02.520 Listening to that woman, listening to these Antifa slash BLM people is pretty chilling because of how honest they are. 0.99

00:07:09.220 They say, yeah, we want you all dead. 1.00

00:07:10.440 We want to kill you. 1.00

00:07:11.100 We hate you. 1.00

00:07:11.700 We hate you. 1.00

00:07:12.300 We think you're garbage. 1.00

00:07:13.460 We want to throw you in the trash and kill you. 1.00

00:07:16.760 But they have been egged on to do this for years by people who are much more presentable than they are. 1.00

00:07:24.520 It's a very short leap from deplorable and irredeemable to human trash. 0.94

00:07:28.960 The mayor of Portland, Ted Wheeler, certainly should be prosecuted for what he has allowed to happen there. 0.85

00:07:35.200 The president has offered federal support because obviously there's anarchy reigning on the streets.

00:07:39.220 And the mayor of Portland mocked him and said, no, I absolutely don't want that.

00:07:43.400 And now people are being killed needlessly.

00:07:45.320 They've lost control.

00:07:46.760 All Democrats, all elected Democrats who have been silent on this issue or who have encouraged this, and there are many, they bear responsibility here.

00:08:01.800 So what do the left-wing media say about this?

00:08:05.280 How do they make sense of this, that you now have leftist thugs in the streets just arbitrarily gunning down without any provocation, gunning down conservatives? 0.93

00:08:14.480 Well, they say, no, it's actually, the people committing the violence are actually white supremacists. 0.97

00:08:18.940 They're actually white supremacists. 0.51

00:08:21.680 Joy Reid tweets out, the riots are not Black Lives Matter marches gone wrong. 0.97

00:08:27.460 Armed white nationalists are mobbing these cities to take advantage of protests and scare fellow white people into quietly siding with them.

00:08:33.380 It's an old, tired, and true strategy, using fear and anti-blackness for politics. 1.00

00:08:40.140 This is obviously not true, right?

00:08:42.140 Unless all of these white supremacists are dressing up either like Ralph Northam when he was in medical school or like these kind of blue-haired, pasty Antifa guys with left-wing insignia everywhere.

00:08:56.460 These would be the best disguised white supremacists you've ever seen.

00:08:59.380 There aren't any.

00:09:00.280 You look around, how many white supremacists are there in the country?

00:09:02.380 Like three?

00:09:03.620 And you look around, the people in the streets are not white supremacists.

00:09:07.140 The people celebrating these deaths of conservatives are not white supremacists.

00:09:11.280 So how do they get into this?

00:09:13.180 How do you look at these shootings? 0.81

00:09:15.120 How do you look at these shootings and say, actually, the people marching in the name of Black Lives Matter or Antifa, actually, they're white supremacists.

00:09:23.440 The reason the left has to do this, and I don't think a lot of people have picked up on this yet, is because they have to justify a contradiction.

00:09:30.760 What the left has been saying, what the media have been saying now for months is, these protests are not violent.

00:09:35.580 You had a number of journalists yesterday, even, showing nice videos and photos from really rich areas of Washington, D.C. or other places around the country, and saying, look, everything's fine here.

00:09:46.220 There's no violence.

00:09:47.660 You say, right, it's fine in your nice, rich neighborhood.

00:09:49.480 What about the other neighborhoods where I can see the video?

00:09:51.880 I can see the mayhem.

00:09:52.760 I can see the fire.

00:09:53.580 You've seen these journalists on CNN and MSNBC.

00:09:56.900 They'll stand in front of burning buildings, and they'll say, oh, it's fiery, but mostly peaceful.

00:10:00.740 It's mostly nonviolent.

00:10:03.840 And, of course, that's a lie. 0.86

00:10:04.980 So they have to deal with the fact that they've been saying now for months, it's totally peaceful, but also, all this violence is being caused by white supremacists. 0.95

00:10:13.800 Wait a second.

00:10:14.220 I was told there wasn't any violence.

00:10:15.920 I was told it's totally peaceful.

00:10:18.140 Yes.

00:10:18.480 No, it's completely, 100% peaceful.

00:10:21.480 Also, all of the violence that you can obviously see, it's being caused by skinheads. 0.98

00:10:26.200 Not very convincing.

00:10:27.300 And, by the way, if you want to figure out who's celebrating this, who's egging this on, who's encouraging this, who's perpetrating this,

00:10:34.980 let's turn not to white supremacist plaza in Washington, D.C., let's turn to the area that the mayor named Black Lives Matter Plaza and take a listen to what they're saying. 0.87

00:10:44.780 I'm at the point where I'm ready to put these police in the grave. 0.95

00:10:51.260 I'm at the point where I want to burn the White House down. 0.94

00:10:56.100 I want to take it to the senators.

00:11:00.960 I want to take it to the Congress.

00:11:04.360 I want to take the fight to them. 0.99

00:11:07.020 And at the end of the day, if they ain't going to hear us, we burn them the f*** down. 0.99

00:11:13.500 I'm one that talk real s***. 0.99

00:11:18.940 I talk it in New York, and I talk it in D.C. 0.98

00:11:23.940 The same way I f*** police up in New York, I f*** cops up here in D.C. 0.97

00:11:29.280 The same way I bust police in the head in New York, I bust police in the head in D.C. 1.00

00:11:34.120 Ah, those white supremacists. 1.00

00:11:37.680 I can't believe they're allowed to spout their violent white supremacist riot. 0.99

00:11:41.820 It doesn't sound, doesn't sound like a white supremacist to me in Black Lives Matter Plaza,

00:11:47.260 talking about the exact same riots that have been going on for months now that have been egged on,

00:11:52.160 not just by the people on the streets, but by the people at the very top of the media and people at the very top of the Democratic Party.

00:11:59.260 We will get to a congressman accosted, not by white supremacists, but by the radical left in one second.

00:12:05.500 First, however, we've got to thank our friends over at First Leaf.

00:12:09.180 You know how much I love First Leaf.

00:12:11.180 I actually just got an order put through yesterday.

00:12:13.440 I got, you know, I do it, sometimes I do it on a monthly basis, sometimes two or three months.

00:12:17.400 But, you know, depending on my travel schedule.

00:12:19.660 And I thought, where is my First Leaf?

00:12:21.000 I've run out.

00:12:21.820 I had novenophobia.

00:12:23.160 You know how afraid I am of that.

00:12:24.760 But finally, my wine is shipping.

00:12:26.740 I'm clearly, I've got to move up the shipment calendar here because I did get very nervous when my First Leaf was dwindling at the bottom of the box.

00:12:50.140 They'll say, okay, that's fine.

00:12:51.300 But maybe try this.

00:12:52.860 And then you rate it up or down.

00:12:54.180 And the more you rate it, the closer it gets.

00:12:56.900 So I'll get, I'll say, oh, this wine.

00:12:58.520 There's no way.

00:12:58.920 I don't like this kind of wine.

00:13:00.080 There's no way I'm going to like that.

00:13:01.080 I'll pour it out.

00:13:01.700 It's delicious.

00:13:02.900 Because they know my taste profiles now.

00:13:32.840 A Republican congressman, Brian Mast of Florida, who is a war hero, lost both legs while serving

00:13:41.400 in Afghanistan.

00:13:42.620 He was walking back from the RNC, from President Trump's acceptance the other night when roving

00:13:47.420 gangs of, was it white supremacists as Joy Reid says?

00:13:50.120 No.

00:13:51.020 Roving gangs of Antifa and BLM and other left-wing agitators mobbed around him, mobbed around

00:13:56.300 a disabled combat veteran and Republican congressman and intimidated him and started screaming in

00:14:03.600 his face.

00:14:03.980 Now, of course, Liz, this is a guy who's dealt with the Taliban, so I don't think he's going

00:14:07.180 to be worried about these little left-wing agitators, but they have become violent.

00:14:12.200 They have killed people even this past weekend.

00:14:14.840 And so when they start threatening him, when they start asking if he's afraid, he asks if

00:14:20.760 he has a reason to be afraid.

00:14:22.980 You're not afraid for your safety?

00:14:24.300 No.

00:15:34.540 That isn't happening. 1.00

00:15:35.980 That isn't happening.

00:15:36.840 You can count the number of unarmed black men who are, who are killed by the police every

00:15:43.080 year, what, what is it, 15, 14, 15, something like that out of how many police civilian interactions?

00:15:48.980 By the way, unarmed doesn't mean an unjustified shooting or killing.

00:15:54.220 What murder are we talking about?

00:15:56.340 It is an imaginary problem.

00:15:57.900 It's a completely fictional problem.

00:15:59.620 But people have been whipped up into a frenzy.

00:16:01.600 In particular, the shrillest person in that video, of course, this presumably unmarried 1.00

00:16:06.440 white woman, this white millennial woman who is just so screechy and shrill and screaming 1.00

00:16:11.120 in this man's face about this national epidemic that simply doesn't exist.

00:16:16.960 How have they been whipped up into this frenzy?

00:16:19.300 What would it tell people not only to believe this nonsense, but that it is acceptable to

00:16:24.600 approach a U.S. congressman and wounded war veteran and mob around him and start screaming

00:16:29.880 in his face in the middle of the night?

00:16:31.900 What would convince people of that?

00:16:34.680 Elected Democrats.

00:16:36.520 The leadership of the Democratic Party.

00:16:38.740 This is not a grassroots movement.

00:16:40.760 This is not something that's totally come out of control and, you know, responsible Democrats

00:16:45.540 are trying to tamp it down.

00:16:46.480 No, they invented this.

00:16:48.140 The Democratic Party is behind this.

00:16:52.560 Maxine Waters, a number of other Democratic leaders told these people to do this, to mob around

00:16:59.560 them, to get violent.

00:17:00.980 Don't forget, Maxine Waters was about two years ago.

00:17:03.380 Take a listen.

00:17:03.880 All righty, you have members of your cabinet that have been booed out of restaurants.

00:17:13.360 Who have protesters taking up at their house.

00:17:17.560 Who sang, no peace, no sleep.

00:17:20.800 No peace, no sleep.

00:17:23.320 Let's make sure we show up wherever we have to show up.

00:17:26.840 And if you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline

00:17:34.920 station, you get out and you create a crowd.

00:17:38.920 And you push back on them.

00:17:41.160 And you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere. 0.99

00:17:46.080 She doesn't sound very different than those Antifa people talking about the human trash. 0.91

00:17:51.260 She doesn't sound very different from the rioters on the streets now telling people to mob around 0.93

00:17:56.580 them, go to Republicans' homes, no justice, no sleep where their children sleep, threatening

00:18:03.080 their wives and children.

00:18:04.240 This is an elected member of the U.S. Congress.

00:18:07.400 She should be booted out of that body. 0.99

00:18:10.000 She should be kicked out of Congress. 0.93

00:18:12.540 She should be kicked out of polite society.

00:18:14.600 But she isn't.

00:18:16.200 She's a member of the ruling class. 1.00

00:18:17.880 Not just her.

00:18:18.840 Not even just the electeds.

00:18:19.860 What about in the media?

00:18:21.040 Chris Cuomo, Fredo Cuomo, the brother of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, one of the worst

00:18:25.420 governors, if not the worst governor in America.

00:18:28.260 Chris Cuomo's got a CNN show.

00:18:29.780 How did he use that platform?

00:18:31.200 Did he use it responsibly?

00:18:32.420 Because he's the adult in the room.

00:18:33.800 These are the leaders of the Democratic establishment to say, hey, stop the violence.

00:18:38.600 We can have protests, but they've got to be civil.

00:18:40.880 No, he said exactly the opposite.

00:18:42.340 He said, get violent.

00:18:43.880 Now, too many see the protests as the problem.

00:18:46.980 No, the problem is what forced your fellow citizens to take to the streets.

00:18:53.040 Persistent and poisonous inequities and injustice.

00:18:56.820 And please show me where it says that protests are supposed to be polite and peaceful.

00:19:02.640 Show me where it says that, where the protests are supposed to be peaceful.

00:19:06.600 Oh, in the First Amendment.

00:19:07.680 The First Amendment says that where you have the right to peaceably assemble, but not to

00:19:11.020 violently assemble.

00:19:11.720 OK, well, thanks for showing me that, guys.

00:19:13.200 I know that that was not his conclusion.

00:19:15.220 He goes out there and says protests don't have to be peaceful.

00:19:18.580 Well, if they're not peaceful, what are they?

00:19:20.220 They're violent.

00:19:21.940 And if they're violent, what does that mean?

00:19:23.400 It means you're shooting people like happened in Portland.

00:19:26.340 It means you're going to people's homes and threatening their wives and children. 0.93

00:19:29.660 This is what CNN is openly calling for.

00:19:34.060 It's even more recent than that.

00:19:35.760 Joe Biden's campaign staff, Joe Biden, the Democratic nominee for president, 13 members

00:19:41.400 of Joe Biden's campaign staff made donations to a bail fund to bail out the rioters who are

00:19:48.300 burning down the cities and killing people.

00:19:51.780 13 members.

00:19:54.140 This goes back to Minnesota during the first wave of these riots after the George Floyd killing.

00:20:01.180 Although now we've got new details on the George Floyd kill, right?

00:20:03.980 We were told it was caused because a cop asphyxiated him with his knee.

00:20:07.300 Now it seems from leaked documents from the medical examiner, it may have had something

00:20:11.740 to do with the massive, more than lethal dose of fentanyl in his system that may have contributed

00:20:17.560 to it.

00:20:18.300 Of course, that, that doesn't come out in the media either.

00:20:20.940 Regardless, 13 Biden campaign staffers donated to bail out the people burning down the city.

00:20:28.220 How about Keith Ellison?

00:20:29.080 Keith Ellison, former vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee, a current attorney general

00:20:35.020 in Minnesota, former congressman, Keith Ellison smiling with a copy of the Antifa handbook.

00:20:42.380 A handbook justifying political violence.

00:20:44.960 There he is, he's smiling.

00:20:46.960 And then worst of all, the former future president, Hillary Clinton, after she lost and they were

00:20:54.800 not able to reclaim the presidency for her in the attempted coup d'etat, Hillary Clinton 1.00

00:21:00.180 put all of her cards on the table.

00:21:02.600 She said, you can't be peaceful.

00:21:05.220 You can't be civil with Republicans.

00:21:08.240 You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what

00:21:15.800 you care about.

00:21:16.860 That's why I believe if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and or the Senate, that's

00:21:23.540 when civility can start again.

00:21:25.620 But until then, the only thing that the Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength.

00:21:34.500 You can't be civil.

00:21:37.420 You've got to use strength.

00:21:39.860 So when you're civil, when you have civil society, you debate things, you argue your points, you

00:21:45.140 bring it to the voters, the voters decide.

00:21:47.740 But she's saying you can't do that with Republicans.

00:21:50.100 Why?

00:21:50.420 Because Republicans oppose the things that I want.

00:21:52.320 And so she's, this is an, like, this is the actual threat to our self-government, right?

00:21:57.440 Which is, yeah, we can all be peaceful and civil so long as you give me everything that

00:22:01.080 you want.

00:22:02.080 And when can we have civil society again, she says?

00:22:04.380 Well, when I'm back in power.

00:22:06.580 And what do we do until then?

00:22:08.980 We show strength.

00:22:10.940 We use strength.

00:22:12.320 What does she mean by strength?

00:22:13.360 She means force.

00:22:14.140 What does she mean by force?

00:22:15.240 What does she mean by not being civil?

00:22:16.460 She means violence.

00:22:17.420 She means the shooting of people in Portland. 0.99

00:22:20.380 She means burning down the cities. 0.93

00:22:22.220 She means toppling our buildings and looting our stores. 0.98

00:22:26.380 How many times do we need to see this and hear this before we get it?

00:22:31.060 Keith Ellison smiling with the Antifa handbook.

00:22:33.800 There is no Antifa.

00:22:35.020 There is no BLM.

00:22:35.940 There is no Democratic Party.

00:22:36.960 It's all the same thing.

00:22:38.480 Call it.

00:22:38.760 All of those groups exist, but they're all part of the exact same phenomenon.

00:22:44.360 And to describe them as though they're completely separate.

00:22:46.540 Well, Antifa is bad, but BLM is good and the Democrats are good. 0.92

00:22:50.420 Or BLM, they've gone too far.

00:22:52.360 They're communists.

00:22:53.460 They're self-described Marxists.

00:22:55.100 But the Democratic Party is okay.

00:22:56.400 The Democratic Party is Antifa, is BLM. 1.00

00:23:03.040 It's all the same thing.

00:23:04.920 The Democratic politicians are the mainstream media, are the educational apparatus, and

00:23:13.060 their wills are enforced.

00:23:15.420 Their strength is shown by the terrorist wings known as Antifa and Black Lives Matter.

00:23:22.120 It's all part of the same exact system.

00:23:25.540 They are not opposed to one another.

00:23:27.020 They work perfectly in tandem.

00:23:29.400 The people on the streets right now are just following orders.

00:23:32.280 Who's giving the orders?

00:23:33.300 You just heard them.

00:23:34.060 You just heard them from CNN and Hillary and Maxine Waters and all the others.

00:23:41.860 This is a much, much deeper problem than some anarchists in the streets.

00:23:46.340 You know, some people are letting the Democrats off the hook a little bit here.

00:23:49.800 They say, oh, look, they played a little bit with fire.

00:23:52.460 They got a little too close and spun out of control.

00:23:55.640 And now they want to stop it.

00:23:56.840 They don't want to stop it because of the violence.

00:23:58.860 They don't want to stop it because now people are getting killed.

00:24:01.660 They called for this.

00:24:02.680 And they don't like these people.

00:24:04.120 They hate these people. 0.99

00:24:04.860 They call them deplorable, irredeemable, bitter clingers. 0.96

00:24:07.140 The only reason they now want to calm down with the riots is, as Don Lemon said, because

00:24:11.600 it's starting to show up in the polls because it's going to start hurting their chances of

00:24:15.320 being elected.

00:24:17.280 They're still telling people to do this. 0.70

00:24:19.000 They're still presenting the ridiculous basis of all of the premise of all of this rioting. 0.93

00:24:27.920 Donald Trump is divisive, right? 1.00

00:24:29.940 Donald Trump is a racist. 1.00

00:24:32.320 No. 1.00

00:24:33.920 The Obamas were far more racist and far more divisive than Donald Trump.

00:24:38.320 And for the one Obama that's still in public life, Michelle Obama, she's making that abundantly

00:24:44.780 clear.

00:24:45.200 Michelle Obama now has a podcast.

00:24:47.460 Everybody's got a podcast.

00:24:48.860 Everybody these days has a podcast.

00:24:50.440 Michelle has a podcast in which recently she said that white people do not acknowledge that

00:24:57.660 non-white people even exist.

00:25:00.660 Take a listen.

00:25:01.140 I've had it several times where I've presented to members of my team, people that I've worked

00:25:09.100 with, peers, go downstairs in the elevator, go out to lunch, and they walk right by you

00:25:15.320 on the street.

00:25:16.040 You're standing in line next to them at Sweetgreen, and they look right through you.

00:25:20.660 They assume they don't know you.

00:25:23.440 They have no use for you.

00:25:25.680 And yet, you just help solve their legal problem or help make them some money or save them some

00:25:31.800 money.

00:25:32.420 But then when you're out in the world, you're just an invisible person.

00:25:37.560 What is she saying here specifically?

00:25:39.460 She's saying, people that I would work with didn't want to socialize with me outside of

00:25:43.840 work.

00:25:45.000 It must be because they're racist. 0.99

00:25:47.860 It must be because they're bigots. 0.98

00:25:50.600 You ever think maybe it's you?

00:25:52.120 You ever think maybe you are a little unlikable?

00:25:54.620 You ever think that you, this woman who says, I've never loved my country, I've never been

00:25:59.220 proud of my country until it elected my husband?

00:26:02.160 You, who are saying all white people are racist because they don't see black people who speak

00:26:07.240 in these awful divisive tones? 0.95

00:26:09.300 You ever think maybe it's you?

00:26:11.020 Maybe it's not the color of your skin.

00:26:12.380 It's just that you're not likable.

00:26:15.260 You're not a likable person because you're contemptuous of everybody else.

00:26:19.340 No, that's not possible, right?

00:26:20.760 She goes beyond work.

00:26:23.100 She talks about this experience she had, this great slight she had as first lady in an ice

00:26:27.980 cream shop that proves systemic racism.

00:26:30.640 When the girls were little, this is when I was first lady. 0.97

00:26:35.380 I am Michelle Obama, the first lady of the United States.

00:26:38.980 Of America.

00:26:39.600 Of America.

00:26:40.620 And we had just finished taking the girls to a soccer game.

00:26:44.840 We were stopping to get ice cream.

00:26:47.060 And there was a line.

00:26:48.580 And once again, when I'm just a black woman, I notice that white people don't even see me.

00:26:54.100 They're not even looking at me. 0.54

00:26:55.640 So I'm standing there with two little black girls, another black female adult.

00:27:01.320 They're in soccer uniforms.

00:27:03.280 And a white woman cuts right in front of us to order. 1.00

00:27:07.500 Like she didn't even see us.

00:27:09.480 So I stepped up and I said, excuse me.

00:27:13.200 I said, you don't see us.

00:27:14.800 Four people standing right here.

00:27:18.080 You just jumped in line.

00:27:19.840 She didn't apologize.

00:27:21.120 She never looked me in my eye.

00:27:23.460 She didn't know it was me.

00:27:25.640 Does anybody seriously believe that while Michelle Obama was the first lady of the United States,

00:27:31.140 someone didn't recognize her at the ice cream shop around where she lives?

00:27:35.460 Does anybody seriously believe that?

00:27:36.520 No, of course not.

00:27:37.780 So what does this amount to?

00:27:39.220 What is the scene?

00:27:41.100 They're in an ice cream shop.

00:27:43.000 And someone, they're waiting somewhere.

00:27:45.180 And then someone goes ahead in line.

00:27:48.120 And then Michelle Obama says, hey, I'm waiting here.

00:27:51.740 And then the woman backs away, but doesn't, you know, talk to her or anything.

00:27:55.860 Doesn't look at her.

00:27:57.960 Has that ever happened to you?

00:27:59.480 Regardless of the color of your skin or anything like that?

00:28:02.540 Anyone ever accidentally cut you in line?

00:28:04.940 Or maybe you're in a shop and they're not sure.

00:28:06.820 Are you waiting for your order?

00:28:08.260 Or have you ordered yet?

00:28:09.360 And someone goes ahead of you.

00:28:10.300 Has that ever happened?

00:28:10.940 Of course.

00:28:11.480 It happens all the time.

00:28:13.320 I'm not saying every time you go into a restaurant or a shop or an ice cream shop,

00:28:16.780 but a lot of the time.

00:28:18.120 Have you ever cut someone accidentally?

00:28:19.980 Yeah, I have.

00:28:20.780 I did it like two weeks ago.

00:28:23.720 And then let's say that that person you cut,

00:28:26.600 this woman who makes damn well sure you know,

00:28:30.780 I'm the first lady of the United States, of America, of America.

00:28:33.700 I'm the first lady, Michelle Obama.

00:28:35.400 I'm so important.

00:28:36.440 I'm so wonderful.

00:28:37.180 Listen to my podcast.

00:28:38.420 Read my book.

00:28:39.120 All about me.

00:28:39.720 My favorite subject.

00:28:40.400 You think maybe you might be a little intimidated.

00:28:43.080 You might, you might not make,

00:28:44.660 you might not be the most gregarious person there.

00:28:46.560 Maybe you don't make eye contact

00:28:47.580 when you're talking to one of the most powerful people in the world.

00:28:51.060 You ever, is that possible?

00:28:52.740 No.

00:28:53.600 No, it can't be.

00:28:54.560 Just a personal, just a slight.

00:28:56.620 Not just, actually not a personal slight.

00:28:57.860 It's a racial slight. 1.00

00:28:59.080 Because they're all racist. 0.92

00:29:00.640 Because they're all out to get you, Michelle.

00:29:02.480 Michelle Obama, the greatest victim in the history of the world.

00:29:05.340 Michelle Obama, the rich, famous, beloved,

00:29:07.760 former first lady of the United States,

00:29:09.640 after this horrible racist nation elected her husband president twice 0.90

00:29:14.300 because of how racist it is. 0.99

00:29:16.620 They sure fooled them. 0.98

00:29:18.580 Oh man, they didn't realize he's a black guy. 0.99

00:29:21.060 Because they're so racist, they would never elect a black guy, right? 1.00

00:29:24.180 They would never give her zillions of dollars to read her stupid book 1.00

00:29:27.460 or listen to her stupid podcast. 1.00

00:29:30.140 Oh no, wait a minute. 1.00

00:29:31.100 The reality is completely the opposite.

00:29:33.800 Completely the opposite.

00:29:34.980 Doesn't matter though.

00:29:36.200 This grievance narrative, man, that sure sells books.

00:29:38.920 Talk to Robin DiAngelo.

00:29:40.940 Talk to the white fragility people or any of these other race hustlers. 0.99

00:29:44.940 It sells a lot. 0.54

00:29:45.980 This grievance thing sells a lot of books.

00:29:48.340 And so that's what we focus on.

00:29:51.280 Rather than have gratitude for our country,

00:29:53.800 which Abraham Lincoln famously tells us in the Lyceum Address,

00:29:56.960 is the only way that we're going to preserve our country.

00:29:59.180 Is to have gratitude and reverence for our founding,

00:30:01.720 for our institutions.

00:30:02.600 Even the greatest beneficiaries of those institutions and of that founding.

00:30:08.160 And in this country, some of the most powerful privileged people in the entire country.

00:30:12.780 They tear it down.

00:30:14.220 You know, it just, it sells better.

00:30:16.240 It sounds, it feels so good to do that.

00:30:19.300 This is not about seeing people.

00:30:20.900 This is not about saying anybody's name.

00:30:24.400 Because some of the most prominent politicians in this country,

00:30:28.660 who have seen lots of people, who have said names,

00:30:31.140 still get mobbed, still get threatened with violence.

00:30:33.260 We will get into that.

00:30:34.160 We will also get into the sad story of Bella Thorne.

00:30:37.080 Someone I had never heard of until I found out that a movie star

00:30:40.160 decided to make a quick buck turning into a porn actress. 1.00

00:30:43.600 We'll get into that first though.

00:30:44.800 I want to thank you for subscribing to the Michael Knowles Show YouTube channel.

00:30:47.620 We are now closing in on 200,000 subscribers.

00:30:51.640 We appreciate it.

00:30:52.600 You can check out my latest attempt to guess a woke TV commercial.

00:30:56.060 I've been trying this now.

00:30:57.000 The TV commercials have gotten so woke,

00:30:58.540 you can never tell what the product is.

00:31:00.060 I felt I got a little bit better on this one,

00:31:01.960 but you can check it out for yourself on the YouTube channel.

00:31:04.420 This week's commercial was requested by one of our viewers.

00:31:07.020 It may be the most absurd one yet.

00:31:09.360 Good luck trying to guess it.

00:31:10.360 Go to dailywire.com slash Knowles, by the way, and subscribe.

00:31:13.360 We will be right back with a lot more. 0.97

00:31:17.620 Michelle Obama's disgusting racist slander 1.00

00:31:31.100 that white people don't see black people, 1.00

00:31:34.120 that they don't know that they exist.

00:31:36.400 This plays into a story, a line that we've heard

00:31:40.560 throughout this whole protest season, which is,

00:31:44.040 say her name.

00:31:44.660 It's referring to the shooting of Breonna Taylor,

00:31:46.840 which the left is trying to pretend that this woman 1.00

00:31:49.200 was completely innocent and had nothing to do with major drug deals

00:31:52.740 or that the people inside of the apartment didn't shoot first

00:31:56.400 or any of these sorts of things.

00:31:58.740 However, let's take all of that for granted.

00:32:01.980 Let's say that there was an unjust shooting in the case of Breonna Taylor.

00:32:04.500 We can get into that case maybe a little bit later in the week,

00:32:06.740 into the specifics, because it's being completely misreported.

00:32:08.880 But let's just take them at their word that this was an unjust killing.

00:32:15.720 There is a U.S. senator who sponsored a bill naming Breonna Taylor

00:32:21.540 to stop no-knock search warrants by the police.

00:32:25.900 Do you think that the mobs, the left-wing BLM, Antifa, those people,

00:32:31.480 the foot soldiers of the Democratic Party,

00:32:33.220 you think they said, oh, there's Rand Paul.

00:32:34.860 He said her name.

00:32:35.820 Okay, he's a good guy.

00:32:36.740 We're not going to mob him and threaten his life.

00:32:39.240 No.

00:32:39.600 Say her name.

00:32:42.580 Say her name.

00:32:43.980 Say her name.

00:32:45.500 Say her name.

00:32:47.000 Say her name.

00:32:48.800 Move up.

00:32:50.640 Move up.

00:32:54.080 Thank you.

00:32:55.340 Thank you.

00:32:56.960 Thank you.

00:32:57.280 Move back.

00:32:58.540 Move back.

00:32:59.920 He can see it.

00:33:01.120 Move back. 0.97

00:33:02.040 You move the f*** back. 0.97

00:33:03.380 Can you see it? 0.97

00:33:05.020 Move back.

00:33:07.740 Move back.

00:33:08.940 Move back.

00:33:12.280 Move back.

00:33:12.800 Move back.

00:33:13.660 Move back.

00:33:13.720 Move back.

00:33:14.100 Move back.

00:33:14.180 Move back.

00:33:14.680 You can see I love here that Rand Paul,

00:33:16.720 when this mob starts pushing on this cop,

00:33:20.000 almost knocks the cop down,

00:33:21.440 the cop who's protecting him,

00:33:23.180 I love that Rand Paul then turns back and, like,

00:33:25.100 grabs the cop.

00:33:25.980 Like, you all right, cop?

00:33:26.860 Because Rand Paul has had a large share of violence

00:33:30.920 in the last few years that Bernie Brough

00:33:33.520 almost mowed him down during the

00:33:35.180 congressional baseball game shooting. 0.95

00:33:36.460 Then his insane leftist neighbor broke his ribs 0.92

00:33:39.600 and nearly killed him in a personal attack. 0.95

00:33:41.740 And now he's got this mob.

00:33:42.980 He's probably looking at the mob like,

00:33:44.200 yeah, go ahead.

00:33:44.960 Make my day.

00:33:46.240 Come on.

00:33:46.680 You feeling lucky, punk?

00:33:47.860 So he leans down and helps the cop.

00:33:50.500 But there's this irony because all they keep shouting

00:33:52.200 is say her name. 0.98

00:33:52.780 Say her name.

00:33:53.860 Rand Paul has said her name more than anybody.

00:33:55.420 In the case of Breonna Taylor,

00:33:57.720 doesn't matter.

00:33:58.720 It has nothing to do with an actual demand.

00:34:03.200 They're not saying, say her name.

00:34:04.200 Okay, here's her name.

00:34:04.920 Okay, we're good.

00:34:06.140 No, it has everything to do with mob violence

00:34:10.680 to permanently shut out, silence, shut up,

00:34:15.480 even to the point of violence and death, 0.52

00:34:18.760 Republicans and conservatives.

00:34:20.620 You know, the deplorables, the irredeemables, 1.00

00:34:22.740 the fascists, the trash. 1.00

00:34:26.980 That's what it's about. 1.00

00:34:28.740 There's nothing you can say that will pacify this mob.

00:34:33.180 They want you silenced forever.

00:34:36.640 There are now roadblocks in D.C.,

00:34:38.460 like we're some third world country,

00:34:40.340 like we're some tin pot dictatorship.

00:34:42.340 Right now, you're trying to come in and out of D.C.

00:34:44.200 In certain areas, you will be stopped by a mob

00:34:46.380 that will check your car,

00:34:48.820 that will force you to say things

00:34:50.280 and tell you just to get out of your car

00:34:52.480 because that's what you want to do

00:34:53.440 when there's a violent mob nearby.

00:34:54.880 Get out of your car, right?

00:34:55.720 That's worked out so well

00:34:56.660 for so many of the other victims

00:34:58.140 of the BLM slash Antifa slash Democratic Party riots.

00:35:02.880 God is, that's what you're talking about.

00:35:05.680 Listen to black women. 1.00

00:35:08.480 Listen to black women. 1.00

00:35:10.500 No justice, no peace. 0.98

00:35:11.820 Say that. 0.96

00:35:12.280 Listen to black women. 1.00

00:35:13.600 Say that. 0.98

00:35:14.360 No justice, no peace.

00:35:15.660 Right?

00:35:18.820 No justice, no peace.

00:35:20.060 So you see this guy's walking up to the car.

00:35:22.800 He's kind of joking into the camera.

00:35:24.100 He's getting in this driver's face.

00:35:26.740 This driver is just a sort of like sad looking white guy. 1.00

00:35:31.020 I don't give a f***. 1.00

00:35:31.900 I don't give a f***. 0.99

00:35:33.520 And his gas is burning. 0.99

00:35:35.180 He's looking kind of upset.

00:35:38.120 You feel me?

00:35:40.580 He's trying to listen to her.

00:35:42.420 It's funny. 0.95

00:35:42.940 She says, listen to black women. 1.00

00:35:44.060 She's screaming. 0.97

00:35:44.520 Hop out with us.

00:35:45.260 He's trying to listen.

00:35:48.060 You're not getting through them.

00:35:49.600 You're not getting through.

00:35:50.360 Hey, if you hopped out, you'll have a better chance.

00:35:52.600 Hop out.

00:35:53.040 Leave your car here.

00:35:53.860 If you hop out, you got a chance.

00:35:54.820 Come on out.

00:35:55.100 This guy, it looks like this guy's on the verge of tears.

00:35:57.560 Please, no, guys.

00:35:58.740 Come on.

00:35:59.280 Please, no.

00:36:00.840 He's about to cry.

00:36:02.260 He says it.

00:36:02.940 He says it.

00:36:03.240 He's about to cry.

00:36:04.480 Look at him.

00:36:07.480 I also love this shrieking hyena in the background.

00:36:10.240 Listen to black women. 1.00

00:36:12.020 You say, you're not making a good argument for your, for your request.

00:36:15.820 I don't, I don't, does everyone sound like you?

00:36:19.500 Because I don't, if that's the case, it's like that shrill white woman who's shrieking 1.00

00:36:23.860 in that guy's face. 1.00

00:36:25.180 Let's talk about cops killing black people. 1.00

00:36:27.240 It's like, uh, huh? 1.00

00:36:28.420 Lady, come, calm down. 1.00

00:36:29.880 I think there's, I don't think the primary problem here is necessarily racial so much

00:36:35.060 as, uh, there's this cultural issue with these young shrieking women who, uh, are not 1.00

00:36:41.420 making us, uh, particularly amenable to listening.

00:36:44.360 But the guy is listening.

00:36:45.340 The guy leans in.

00:36:45.880 He says, what, what are you trying to say?

00:36:47.300 She doesn't care.

00:36:48.640 She doesn't want to be heard.

00:36:49.720 She just wants to scream.

00:36:51.140 And then you see this guy coming up to him, intimidating him saying, come on, get out of

00:36:54.520 the car, get out of the car.

00:36:56.980 Get out.

00:36:57.440 This is the kind of thing you would expect driving through a third world country, but it's 1.00

00:37:01.820 not.

00:37:02.040 It's happening in America, not just some places in America, multiple cities, not just

00:37:05.900 multiple cities, our nation's capital.

00:37:10.300 How long before we're officially a failed state?

00:37:14.120 How long?

00:37:14.880 Like at what point did Venezuela get declared a failed state?

00:37:18.480 At what point did Zimbabwe get declared a failed state?

00:37:20.900 At what point did Syria? 0.52

00:37:22.600 Where?

00:37:23.080 Libya.

00:37:25.140 Because this kind of behavior, if you told an American that this would be happening in

00:37:29.680 our country 10 years ago, they would not have believed you.

00:37:34.120 And over what?

00:37:36.020 Requests that have been met.

00:37:38.720 Right?

00:37:39.020 Say her name to Rant Ball, who wrote a bill naming her. 0.97

00:37:43.280 And over premises that are false, that there's an epidemic of cops killing black men in this 0.98

00:37:49.040 country. 0.95

00:37:50.320 Innocent, you know, unarmed black men. 1.00

00:37:51.820 And really what it's over is elected Democrats and Democrats in the media calling for the 0.53

00:38:00.780 violence.

00:38:02.680 How long?

00:38:03.660 How long before we're a failed state?

00:38:05.880 This is the issue that was at the heart of the Civil War.

00:38:10.280 Okay?

00:38:10.740 There are a lot of issues in the Civil War.

00:38:12.220 I mean, especially slavery.

00:38:13.900 There was also this question of states' rights.

00:38:16.000 But the issue that everyone agrees on is this question of self-governance.

00:38:24.240 Why did the South secede?

00:38:26.380 Why did the South not revolt?

00:38:28.720 Right?

00:38:28.940 We just had an American Revolution the century prior.

00:38:31.960 Why not have a Southern Confederate Revolution? 0.75

00:38:35.040 Why was it called secession?

00:38:36.180 Because to have a revolution requires that you acknowledge a natural right, natural law.

00:38:44.040 Right?

00:38:44.320 We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal.

00:38:46.600 And that's where we derive our power to revolt against an unjust government.

00:38:50.020 But the South was founded explicitly on racial supremacy.

00:38:54.300 It was founded on slavery. 0.57

00:38:55.640 So they couldn't revolt.

00:38:56.960 It would have been an incoherent revolution.

00:38:58.960 They had to secede.

00:39:00.440 But you can't secede.

00:39:01.900 Because when you secede, you totally undermine self-governance.

00:39:06.260 The, the, the agreement that we come to with self-governance is we're going to come together.

00:39:11.160 We're going to have a country.

00:39:11.800 And sometimes you're going to win.

00:39:12.680 Sometimes I'm going to win.

00:39:13.600 But we're going to stay together as a country regardless.

00:39:15.980 And we're not just going to take our ball and go home when we lose.

00:39:18.880 Because if you do that, of course, that, that's no self-governance at all.

00:39:21.720 That's just, that's extortion.

00:39:23.500 Right?

00:39:23.780 That's, that's, that's not a republic.

00:39:29.320 What do we have now?

00:39:30.320 We have Hillary Clinton herself saying, when you lose, you, or when we lose, not when you

00:39:37.300 lose, when you lose, we're happy.

00:39:38.760 When we lose, we're going to get violent. 0.98

00:39:41.820 We're going to threaten your lives.

00:39:43.440 And the only way we're going to stop is when you lose and you let us take over again.

00:39:49.000 Joe Biden said, he made the same threat.

00:39:50.960 He said, we can't take four more years of this.

00:39:53.160 People thought this was some sort of pious, sentimental lament.

00:39:56.520 No, it was a threat.

00:39:57.520 You can't take four more years, but you're going to get four more years if you reelect

00:40:00.780 Trump.

00:40:01.180 So just elect me.

00:40:02.000 It'll be easier.

00:40:03.080 It'll be, look, that's a nice business you got there.

00:40:04.900 She would be ashamed if something happened to it.

00:40:06.860 It's a nice, that's a nice life you got there.

00:40:08.500 She would be ashamed if something happened to it.

00:40:10.980 People always ask, are we in the run-up to a civil war?

00:40:13.360 I hope not.

00:40:15.160 But there are parallels between right now in the 1850s and the same party that pushed us

00:40:20.440 to the civil war in the 1850s seems to be hell bent on pushing us toward it.

00:40:25.180 Now, it's an issue of self-government.

00:40:28.640 And actually, you know, self-government works on the political level, but it also works on

00:40:32.380 the personal level.

00:40:33.580 You have to govern yourself.

00:40:34.840 You have to discipline yourself if you want to have a self-governing republic.

00:40:39.020 All of our founders knew this.

00:40:41.020 So what about on that personal level?

00:40:42.460 What about on that cultural level?

00:40:44.000 We have the sad story of Bella Thorne.

00:40:47.740 I don't know who Bella Thorne is. 1.00

00:40:49.220 I've never seen Bella Thorne in any sort of TV show or movie.

00:40:52.220 But I'm told she's a very famous TV and movie actress.

00:40:56.540 Now, she's also a pornographer. 1.00

00:40:59.020 How'd that happen?

00:41:01.020 Here's the quick rundown of the story.

00:41:02.860 It shows you just about everything that's wrong from the personal to the public political

00:41:08.160 level in our culture.

00:41:10.160 Bella Thorne sent nude photos to her boyfriend electronically.

00:41:14.540 Those photos got hacked, which always happens when you're always liable for that to happen.

00:41:21.680 And if you're famous, it certainly will happen when you are in the public, right?

00:41:25.960 So she gets hacked. 0.72

00:41:28.540 This guy was extorting her, said he was going to leak the photos.

00:41:31.240 So she started an OnlyFans.com account.

00:41:35.060 OnlyFans.com is this website that allows anybody to become their own pornographer and make money

00:41:42.780 selling nude photos and videos and otherwise degrading themselves.

00:41:45.860 So she started an OnlyFans.com to leak the photo herself.

00:41:50.020 She made $1 million in one day and she made $2 million in one week. 1.00

00:41:54.240 She was already a millionaire, but she's making a lot of this money. 0.99

00:41:56.660 Now, she's supposedly a victim here because someone hacked her photos.

00:42:03.880 But Whoopi Goldberg, a left winger on The View, had the audacity to say,

00:42:08.240 you know, if you're famous, you should use a little bit of prudence.

00:42:12.600 If you're famous, you probably shouldn't send nude photos because

00:42:15.660 those photos inevitably are going to leak.

00:42:19.120 If you're famous, I don't care how old you are.

00:42:22.460 You don't take nude pictures of yourself because...

00:42:25.140 But she only wants to share with one person.

00:42:26.320 But she said, listen, when they're hacking you, they're hacking all of your stuff.

00:42:32.460 So whether it's one picture or a million pictures, once you take that picture,

00:42:38.040 it goes into the cloud and it's available to any hacker who wants it.

00:42:43.060 And if you don't know that in 2019, that this is an issue, you, you, I'm sorry.

00:42:49.840 Your age does not, you don't get to do that.

00:42:52.720 I got to tell you, I kind of like Whoopi Goldberg, even though I know she's a left winger and sometimes

00:42:57.500 she has these fits of, of politics on, on The View, but she does have a kind of basic

00:43:03.660 conservatism.

00:43:04.520 She realizes, you know, you think you take that photo and it's private.

00:43:08.780 It's not private.

00:43:10.060 When you take a digital photo, it's never private.

00:43:12.820 When you go on onlyfans.com, that's not ever private.

00:43:16.840 Anything on the internet is public.

00:43:19.160 The only question is who's looking at it and how many people have seen it so far.

00:43:23.100 So if you're famous and you don't want these nude photos to get out there, just don't take

00:43:26.920 them.

00:43:27.420 Pretty simple, right?

00:43:28.380 We used to say this to people like, Hey, don't create pornography of yourself.

00:43:32.860 That used to be not just an acceptable point of view.

00:43:36.660 That used to be very good advice.

00:43:39.740 Bella Thorne was furious.

00:43:40.880 She said, shame on you. 0.91

00:43:42.660 I don't want to go on The View anymore because I don't really want to be beaten down by a 0.84

00:43:46.000 bunch of older women for my body and my sexuality. 1.00

00:43:48.960 Blaming girls for taking photos in the first place is sick and honestly disgusting. 0.79

00:43:53.400 No, it's good advice.

00:43:54.920 It's good advice.

00:43:56.920 Let me reiterate Whoopi's brilliant advice.

00:43:59.700 Ladies, do not take nude photos of yourself. 1.00

00:44:02.100 Do not take them.

00:44:03.620 Do not send them to that boyfriend that you really like where you're sure you're going

00:44:06.460 to be together forever and he would never do anything wrong with them.

00:44:09.220 Do not upload them to the cloud, even though they're going to get uploaded to the cloud

00:44:11.760 the minute you take them.

00:44:12.560 Just don't do it.

00:44:13.500 Why would you do it?

00:44:14.360 What's the point of doing that?

00:44:16.160 You will only regret it.

00:44:19.240 I got a message from someone who had an OnlyFans account.

00:44:24.940 This was a message that was sent in through the website.

00:44:27.740 Not through that website, through my website.

00:44:29.020 And she had this problem pertaining to her OnlyFans account and was trying to work her 0.88

00:44:33.920 way through it.

00:44:34.880 And I said, okay, I'm happy to try to help you sort out this tangential problem.

00:44:39.700 But here's the first problem.

00:44:41.440 You're on OnlyFans.

00:44:42.280 Get off of OnlyFans.

00:44:43.560 Don't do it.

00:44:44.480 There is no good that can come of that.

00:44:46.420 There is only harm that can come of that.

00:44:48.120 You will regret every moment that you're on there.

00:44:50.400 The money isn't worth it.

00:44:52.200 The money isn't worth it.

00:44:53.300 It's not even that much money.

00:44:54.020 I guess for Bella Thornton, it was $2 million. 0.99

00:44:56.600 That actually gets to be part of the problem.

00:44:59.860 But it's not just don't do it.

00:45:02.200 I guess you're not allowed to say that these days.

00:45:04.160 Because it's somehow feminist to get women to sell their bodies. 1.00

00:45:11.580 And it's misogynistic to tell women not to be degraded and objectified.

00:45:17.700 That's the, hmm, wait a second.

00:45:19.940 I'm seeing a little illogic in that framing.

00:45:22.960 But actually, this money is a little bit of the issue.

00:45:25.640 Because that's not the end of the story here.

00:45:27.880 Thornton puts these nude photos up.

00:45:29.960 The customers apparently felt that Thornton was not sufficiently nude in the photos.

00:45:34.180 And they had paid $200 for the photos.

00:45:35.960 Pretty expensive photo.

00:45:38.140 So they demanded a refund.

00:45:40.580 And I want to take a pause here.

00:45:43.240 Everything is public on the internet.

00:45:45.500 Everything.

00:45:46.080 Okay?

00:45:47.240 Why on earth, if you really wanted to see a nude photo of Bella Thornton,

00:45:51.200 wouldn't you just, like, wait for some other guy to pay $200 and then for that photo to inevitably leak?

00:45:57.460 We know the photo is going to leak.

00:45:58.680 The original photo leaked and that was on her private cloud account.

00:46:02.320 You know it's going to get out there.

00:46:03.700 Why would you pay the $200?

00:46:04.900 These people not, not thinking with their, uh, upper, upper regions.

00:46:09.200 So, they got upset they wanted a refund.

00:46:12.660 But now you're talking about $2 million going back and forth on this website.

00:46:15.400 So OnlyFans said, okay, this is too big a problem.

00:46:17.400 We're in a cap how much you can charge at $50.

00:46:20.540 Okay, fine enough.

00:46:21.580 But now the other pornographers are upset.

00:46:24.020 The other women, or sometimes the men who are prostituting these women, 0.91

00:46:27.460 are very upset that the cap is going to be $50.

00:46:31.480 We were making more money.

00:46:32.900 So what happened?

00:46:33.460 Bella Thornton apologized.

00:46:35.200 Bella Thornton said, I wanted to bring attention to the site.

00:46:37.040 The more people on the site, the more likely they have a chance to normalize the stigmas. 0.97

00:46:40.740 And in trying to do this, I hurt you.

00:46:42.420 I've risked my career a few times to remove the stigma behind sex work,

00:46:46.120 porn, and the natural hatred people spew behind anything sex related.

00:46:50.540 Hatred? 0.97

00:46:51.240 They spewing hatred?

00:46:51.880 I don't know that it's hatred.

00:46:53.480 Certainly exploitation and degradation, but I don't know if it's hatred.

00:46:56.280 I wrote and directed a porn against the high brows of my peers and managers

00:46:59.980 because I wanted to help with the stigma behind sex.

00:47:03.280 I am a mainstream face.

00:47:04.440 And when you have a voice, a platform, and you try to use it in helping others

00:47:06.920 and advocate for something bigger than yourself,

00:47:09.180 again, in this process, I hurt you.

00:47:11.060 And for that, I'm truly sorry.

00:47:12.940 I'm sorry, women. 1.00

00:47:14.160 I'm sorry that I in any way discouraged you from degrading, objectifying, and selling yourselves.

00:47:18.560 Please go back and objectify yourself.

00:47:21.180 Sell yourself, please.

00:47:23.340 Everybody involved in this entire situation is doing the wrong thing.

00:47:28.160 Except for Whoopi Goldberg.

00:47:30.180 Whoopi Goldberg is the one person who gets it.

00:47:32.300 And she didn't even go that far.

00:47:33.560 She didn't say all girls should not take nude photos of themselves. 0.96

00:47:37.040 She said girls who are famous, who know they're going to get hacked eventually, 1.00

00:47:41.700 shouldn't take nude photos of themselves.

00:47:45.180 How do we get from that culture to a good self-governing society that recognizes virtue

00:47:54.780 and can have logical conversations?

00:47:56.500 You can't.

00:47:57.440 That's the problem.

00:47:58.580 That's the problem.

00:47:59.240 I'm not, I'm using this OnlyFans, Bella Thorne thing as one example.

00:48:05.020 Obviously, there are many issues beyond sex.

00:48:08.140 Sex is the most scintillating of them, probably.

00:48:10.620 But this gets into fraud.

00:48:12.600 This gets into other personal relations.

00:48:14.580 This gets into how we do business in the country.

00:48:17.440 This gets into how we look at our local communities.

00:48:19.640 This looks into the relationship we have to labor.

00:48:22.060 This looks into the relationship we have to slave labor overseas.

00:48:26.820 If you don't have a robust moral sense and you don't actually practice virtues and you

00:48:33.640 don't even understand the argument for practicing the virtues, as many people here, other than

00:48:38.360 apparently Whoopi Goldberg does, you can't have a self-governing country.

00:48:43.960 Your country is only as good as the people.

00:48:45.560 Your ability to regulate your country is only as good as the people's ability to regulate

00:48:50.460 themselves.

00:48:52.320 So what do we do?

00:48:53.620 Some, some conservatives throw up their hands.

00:48:55.560 They say, well, there's no way to legislate morality. 0.54

00:48:57.920 That's obviously BS.

00:48:59.280 All laws legislate morality.

00:49:01.380 All laws make moral arguments right down to parking meters.

00:49:04.820 You can't have the whole, the way you legislate is by making moral arguments for the laws and

00:49:10.740 then enforcing those laws.

00:49:11.800 So of course you can.

00:49:12.660 Now you don't want to have a tyrannical regime that is, uh, that is undermining public morality,

00:49:19.400 which can happen as well.

00:49:20.500 I think we're pretty far from that at this point though.

00:49:23.940 Why don't we take back our politics in a way that can go in and say, hmm, shouldn't be doing

00:49:29.020 that.

00:49:29.840 Shouldn't be doing this.

00:49:31.400 We forget onlyfans.com, which certainly should be heavily regulated, probably into the dust,

00:49:37.660 probably just outright banned.

00:49:40.140 Because also what are the, what are the safety guards here?

00:49:42.360 How do we know that people under 18 aren't on this website?

00:49:44.440 We, of course they're on this website.

00:49:46.800 So there are many legal ways to go after a website like that.

00:49:49.900 But we have such a loss of respect for law, law and order in this country that we can't

00:49:56.460 even tell murderous rioters on the streets to put the guns down.

00:50:01.340 Ted Wheeler won't do it.

00:50:02.540 He's fanning the flames.

00:50:05.060 Democratic Party fanning the flames of this, encouraging it, saying, please go out there,

00:50:11.360 mob them, get violent.

00:50:13.200 That's not just a personal problem. 0.86

00:50:14.800 That's not just a cultural problem.

00:50:16.260 It all ties into this bigger problem.

00:50:18.260 We're trying to, we're looking at it in these little pieces.

00:50:20.480 We're just seeing the trees here.

00:50:21.760 You got to zoom out and see the forest.

00:50:23.080 First, the personal problem, as the left says, the personal problem is the political problem.

00:50:28.720 And the political problem ties in, not just BLM, not just Antifa.

00:50:32.780 It's the Democratic Party.

00:50:34.160 It's the whole edifice.

00:50:35.480 In the face of that, where do you stand in November?

00:50:38.340 What do you see the stakes as in November?

00:50:41.000 Getting more intense and more intense and more intense.

00:50:45.420 We always hear this is the most important election in our lifetimes.

00:50:47.840 When your opponent tells you that, when they tell you what they're going to do to you if

00:50:52.220 they get back in power, when they tell you what they're going to do if they don't get

00:50:54.800 back in power, believe them.

00:50:57.200 That's our show.

00:50:57.920 I'm Michael Knowles.
