The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 716 - Inhumane, But Effective

00:00:00.000 Joe Biden is separating migrant children from their guardians and putting them in cages filled

00:00:05.880 to the brim without social distancing. The White House won't admit it. The president won't remember

00:00:12.580 it. But we've got the receipts that we shouldn't let anyone forget. I'm Michael Knowles. It's the

00:00:16.720 Michael Knowles Show. Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment yesterday from Old Schooled,

00:00:29.100 who says, if this was the most secure election of all time, why is there an election reform bill

00:00:36.920 going through Congress right now? You know, that's a great question. That's a great, you,

00:00:42.380 you sound like one of those kooky, crazy conspiracy theorists. That question is so good. If the

00:00:48.680 election is so, this was absolutely no questions about it. There's been fraud in every single

00:00:54.640 election we've ever had and that there has ever been in world history. But not this one. This one,

00:00:59.960 it was absolutely 100% perfect. And that's why we need an unprecedented, sweeping, historic

00:01:05.980 election reform bill, which is really just a massive, massive power grab by the left to upend

00:01:14.080 our elections. Kind of makes you wonder, doesn't it? It's the kind of question you can ponder over

00:01:18.640 a lovely glass of delicious wine, which is why I would highly recommend First Leaf. Having a First

00:02:35.740 Just a few days ago, Jen Psaki, our favorite current White House press secretary was asked about certain

00:02:46.860 criticism that the White House is getting from former president Donald Trump. Trump was observing

00:02:53.820 that the Biden immigration policy is dishonest and falling apart before our very eyes and that

00:03:03.980 Donald Trump handled the immigration question much better because he was at least forthright about

00:03:09.300 what was going on. So he raised all these points and Jen Psaki was offended at the question.

00:03:15.240 We don't take our advice or counsel from former president Trump on immigration policy, which was

00:03:20.480 not only inhumane, but ineffective over the last four years. We're going to chart our own path forward.

00:03:26.520 And that includes treating children with humanity and respect and ensuring they're safe when they cross

00:03:31.700 our borders. So there's a problem with what she said. It's actually very similar to my favorite

00:03:39.300 comment from yesterday where, where we're told it was the most secure election we've ever had. And also

00:03:43.700 we are in desperate need of a massive election reform bill. That doesn't make a lot of sense. Here,

00:03:49.900 Jen Psaki says that Donald Trump's immigration policy was inhumane and ineffective.

00:03:56.840 But if it was inhumane, then it could not have been ineffective. If it was ineffective,

00:04:06.680 it could not have been inhumane. What was inhumane? She's saying, well, you know, they wouldn't let all

00:04:11.780 the illegal aliens through and they separated kids and they put kids in cages. And so it's very 0.79

00:04:17.660 inhumane. Okay. But therefore it would have to be effective. It has to have some effect if it's going

00:04:23.420 to be this big change and it's going to be inhumane. But she's saying, no, it was also

00:04:27.240 ineffective. It didn't, it didn't work at all. It didn't achieve any of its objectives. Okay.

00:04:32.080 Well then what's the problem? What's the big deal? It was the same argument that you heard from

00:04:37.320 walls are cruel and awful and we should never build walls and it's un-American and also they don't work.

00:04:44.200 Oh, they don't work. Then what's, what are you so worried about? It seems to me you're worried

00:04:48.360 because they obviously do work. Then Jen Psaki gets to the real question, which is these people

00:04:54.140 pouring, pouring across the border, specifically kids pouring across the border. What's Joe Biden

00:04:59.120 going to do? Are there any discussions within the White House about reversing the policy of allowing

00:05:05.320 all unaccompanied children in the United States? No. Not at all. So I guess is the plan then to take in 0.98

00:05:13.980 and safely and humanely find a home for an unlimited number of unaccompanied children.

00:05:19.860 I think this issue requires us taking a step back as human beings and as mothers, of which I am one.

00:05:26.340 I know that there are many in the room or many at home. These kids are coming. They are fleeing prosecution.

00:05:32.600 They are fleeing difficult circumstances in their home country. When they come here, all we're talking

00:05:38.440 about here is ensuring that they are treated safely. They are not trafficked. They are not sent back.

00:05:44.240 On a unsafe journey. That's what we're talking about. The kids are fleeing prosecution.

00:05:50.760 Like when they, their tax cheats or something. What do you mean they're fleeing prosecution? What

00:05:54.600 little criminal kids are coming into work? Oh, she meant persecution. Okay. That was only

00:05:58.640 a minor problem with her answer. The question is, are you going to let unlimited numbers of these

00:06:05.040 illegal foreign children come into the country? And she doesn't want to say yes, 1.00

00:06:12.200 because that will irritate most Americans who want controls on immigration. But she doesn't want

00:06:18.080 to say no because that will irritate the Democrats' radical left-wing base. And also because it doesn't

00:06:23.680 seem compassionate, right? Now, of course, in reality, this kind of open borders policy,

00:06:29.840 which creates incentives for more and more kids to come over, it's actually the opposite of compassion

00:06:33.400 because the majority of just women and girls, for instance, who cross the border illegally are

00:06:38.540 raped or assaulted on the journey. So it creates all these awful incentives. It's a terrible, terrible

00:06:42.900 situation. But in a very limited way, it doesn't seem compassionate. Okay. Jen Psaki, though, is very

00:06:49.160 clear. They do not take advice from President Trump on immigration policy. Until now. Until now.

00:06:58.660 Because their policy was not working. It was creating all of these problems. And so what is

00:07:04.760 the Biden administration doing now? They're now doing exactly what Trump did. And you don't need

00:07:10.480 to take my word for it. Listen to the mainstream media even having to admit this. New York Times.

00:07:14.940 The number of unaccompanied migrant children detained along the southern border has tripled in the last

00:07:20.240 two weeks to more than 3,250, 3,250, filling facilities akin to jails as the Biden administration

00:07:28.720 struggles to find room for them in shelters. So New York Times admitting Joe Biden is putting kids

00:07:36.880 in cages. USA Today, still sheltering children separated. The Biden administration, rather, is still

00:07:43.900 sheltering children separated from close family members in federal facilities for weeks on end.

00:07:49.180 Something immigrant advocates and attorneys had hoped the new administration would resolve by now.

00:07:53.420 They're apparently being separated for weeks. Joe Biden putting kids in cages, separating them from

00:08:01.260 their families, and then Axios reports, Biden administration is allowing the facilities to

00:08:06.700 operate at 100% capacity to meet the demand of the huge surge in illegal immigration taking place on

00:08:13.300 the southern border. The centers were previously allowed to only operate at 50% capacity to adhere to

00:08:18.580 social distancing guidelines. So we had been told just a few weeks ago, Jen Psaki said, well, look,

00:08:23.380 we need these overflow facilities, which sort of look like the cages that Donald Trump put the kids in,

00:08:28.380 that actually Joe Biden and Barack Obama built all those years ago. But the reason we have to do that

00:08:33.720 is because it would be insane to put these kids in a facility that was more than 50% capacity.

00:08:39.860 Then they might get the virus. What, are you crazy? You want us to do that? Now they're saying,

00:08:43.480 yeah, that's what we're doing. Yeah, that's exactly what we're doing, which makes a lot more sense to

00:08:47.460 me because children are at a very, very, very, very statistically infinitesimally small risk from

00:08:55.560 the virus. The Biden administration, after flailing and failing in their immigration policy,

00:09:04.180 is now reverting to the policy of the Trump administration that was effective and that Kamala

00:09:12.380 Harris and members of the Biden administration referred to as crimes against humanity.

00:09:18.700 We were told by Jen Psaki, none of this sort of thing was happening.

00:09:23.960 We have a number of unaccompanied minors, children who are coming into the country without their

00:09:28.880 families. What we are not doing, what the last administration did was separate those kids,

00:09:35.540 rip them from the arms of their parents at the border. We are not doing that. That is immoral and

00:09:40.140 that is not the approach of this administration. Uh, just a quick update. Yes, we are doing that

00:09:46.040 and, but now it's moral because we're doing it and it's not the orange man. If you read the New York

00:09:50.860 Times, which I don't recommend, but if you do, if you read USA Today, if you read Axios,

00:09:57.740 you will see that what Jen Psaki just said there is not true. Maybe it was true then, a week or two ago.

00:10:05.200 It's not true now. The Biden administration is doing exactly the same thing. How many

00:10:11.980 conservatives are there? Count myself among them who have liberal friends and relatives

00:10:18.300 who were harangued or rather the relatives harangued all of us for months and months and years and years

00:10:25.620 saying, how can you support this evil fascist Trump administration that's separating kids from

00:10:31.620 their families and putting them in cages? Uh, because as Jen Psaki has been saying,

00:10:38.700 it's a difficult situation and the Democrats would do exactly the same thing and the Democrats are doing

00:10:43.540 exactly the same thing. And I just don't want to hear it anymore. I don't want to hear it.

00:10:48.500 Unfortunately, this isn't being covered. Probably this will only be covered on conservative podcasts,

00:10:53.560 maybe in some of the conservative media, in the, in the established media, but, uh, probably most,

00:11:00.700 most left-wingers won't hear about it. So maybe you should tell your left-wing relatives who have been

00:11:04.940 bugging you about this for years and years. Some Democrats are waking up a little bit here. Democrat

00:11:09.620 Henry Cuellar, Democrat representative from Texas, is actually going further. He's saying, yeah,

00:11:15.560 the Biden administration is mishandling this whole migration issue. They are, uh, they're lying about

00:11:21.740 not just the kid, not separating the kids from their parents and not just about putting kids

00:11:26.400 in cages. They're also lying about the numbers that are coming in. Let's look at the numbers since,

00:11:33.180 uh, uh, August of last year, the numbers have been increasing. Uh, and especially October,

00:11:38.500 November, and December, we were hitting seventies, uh, 70,000, uh, in January, we had 78,000. And this

00:11:45.320 is again, under the Trump administration, now moving into the Biden administration. Biden,

00:11:49.840 it might've started under Trump, but when you're the president, you own the situation,

00:11:55.000 whether it's a success or not, as I said, success, it's going to own it. I think in February,

00:11:59.480 we're going to get about a hundred thousand. Uh, and again, I don't care what we call it,

00:12:03.180 but I can tell you this, uh, those numbers of people that are being released, they're purposely,

00:12:08.900 uh, withholding that information. They've been told not to withhold that information.

00:12:13.900 I now know that they're bringing people from McAllen over to Laredo, processing them in Laredo,

00:12:20.800 and they're going to release them in my community.

00:12:23.280 So this is a pretty serious charge that the federal government right now, the administration

00:12:30.360 is hiding the numbers. So we know we're getting some numbers out there of this number of adults

00:12:37.040 coming through this number of kids, this number of people being released. But actually what Henry

00:12:41.900 Quay are saying is they're hiding the magnitude of the enormity of this issue reminds us of another

00:12:47.980 democratic political scandal right now, which would be Andy Cuomo in New York, whose policies

00:12:53.380 directly led to the deaths of thousands of elderly New Yorkers. And then what did he do when he realized

00:12:58.420 this? He hid the numbers. He hid the numbers from a federal inquiry. So that's the accusations going on

00:13:04.400 now. We'll, we'll get to Cuomo in just, just a little bit. But first, speaking of, uh, security,

00:13:11.260 you've got to check out Ring. So much is going on at our front door these days. That is one thing

00:13:16.440 that has not changed. It's actually gotten a much, much worse. You've got people coming who want to

00:13:22.840 deliver food. I guess that's a good thing. I'll let them in, you know, people who want to deliver

00:13:26.260 clothing and gifts for my cute little newborn baby. That's good too. Sometimes relatives want to visit.

00:13:33.020 Um, so, well, it's better, you know, it's better to know who's outside the door before you open the

00:13:38.740 door. We'll just leave it at that. Okay. Ring will allow you to do that. You can see and speak with

00:13:43.500 whoever is at your door, whether you're in your bedroom, whether you are at the office, maybe that

00:13:47.620 you, you are on a beach somewhere on the other side of the world. It's got motion detection. So

00:13:51.940 you'll get notified even if the people outside don't ring the door. If someone stops by, something's

00:13:56.720 going on, Ring is going to let you know. Also makes a great housewarming gift, which I give away to my

00:14:01.820 friends in part, cause it's not very expensive. Uh, so you give a great gift. You don't have to

00:14:24.320 immigration cases, Meghan Markle, Meghan Markle. This story has fascinated the entire world.

00:14:33.500 The interview between Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, who went, he was occasionally allowed to

00:14:38.480 speak and Oprah Winfrey. And some people say this is a frivolous sort of interview. It's not. I think

00:14:44.200 it actually gets at the heart of the decay of our political system. Differences that we have,

00:14:50.700 not just between the United States and the United Kingdom, but differences we have between the old

00:14:55.760 order, the old standards of duty and responsibility and love of country and a new culture that's

00:15:03.560 replaced it of narcissism and selfishness and pursuing one's appetites ad infinitum.

00:15:12.360 Meghan Markle explaining why she had to flee. She had to get out of there. Cause she, you know, 0.59

00:15:19.640 we talked about her a little bit yesterday. She was so overwhelmed. Do you know these royals,

00:15:24.360 they expected her to Google the national anthem of her adopted country into which royal family she

00:15:30.780 was marrying? You know, it's shocking. They wanted her to learn some hymns before her massive wedding

00:15:38.260 in the Church of England, which her family, her new adopted family actually runs. Shocking, 0.80

00:15:46.360 awful. Can you believe that kind of burden? Who was she going to turn to, to teach her how to be a

00:15:51.560 royal? Her fiance, the prince? No, I don't know. That's so, that'd be outrageous. How could you do

00:15:56.960 that? But she goes further. She's alleging racism, which is sort of the signature crime of,

00:16:03.780 of liberal modernity. There are no, no other crime can even come close to the crime of racism,

00:16:09.540 which is expanding in its, its definition by the day and even by the hour. Meghan Markle says that

00:16:17.960 the royals did not want to give Archie or any of her children, uh, the, the title prince, you know,

00:16:25.620 the Williams kids would be called prince and princess, but not Harry and Meghan's kids. And

00:16:31.800 this was very offensive. And do you know, some unnamed members of the royal family actually raised

00:16:37.580 questions about the skin color or the skin tone of Archie before he would be born? Here are the

00:16:44.460 allegations. If they can compare what the experience that I went through was similar to what has been

00:16:50.240 shared with us. Kate was called weighty Katie waiting to marry William. While I imagine that

00:16:57.160 was really hard and I do, I can't picture what that felt like. This is not the same. And if a member

00:17:03.920 of his family will comfortably say, we've all had to deal with things that are rude, rude and racist

00:17:08.520 are not the same. Rude and racist are not the same. This is true. Racism is a type of rudeness.

00:17:22.400 Rudeness, this kind of, you know, simple word here, really what she's saying is adversity.

00:17:27.320 Racism is a type of adversity. Racism and adversity are not the same thing because there are many

00:17:34.280 other types of rudeness and adversity. Racism is just one of them. But for Markle and for the entire left,

00:17:46.200 racism is the defining feature of life. So you can be rich. You can be famous. You can be a Hollywood starlet.

00:18:05.220 You can marry a prince, one of the best known princes left in the world. You can be accepted into the royal

00:18:13.200 family. But if you are even slightly dark, if you can in any way claim membership in a racial victim 0.56

00:18:24.740 group, which Meghan Markle, I guess can, she certainly does, then you are oppressed. 1.00

00:18:32.420 There was a Babylon Bee headline yesterday saying, Meghan Markle inspires millions of girls by,

00:18:37.700 by showing them that no matter how rich and beautiful and famous you are, you still can

00:18:44.100 claim to be oppressed. That's what she's doing here. And the reason that this interview totally 1.00

00:18:49.260 backfired, this was supposed to be a big PR move by Meghan Markle to make herself likable and to vilify 1.00

00:18:55.460 the British royal family. And I think it had the opposite effect. I don't think the queen has ever been

00:19:00.100 more popular in her entire life. And I don't think Meghan Markle's ever been more unpopular because she 0.99

00:19:05.040 totally misread the situation. She's so divorced from the reality of, of her situation. She's so

00:19:16.280 consumed by this frivolous, shallow, ridiculous racial grievance ideology that she can't recognize

00:19:25.620 her own immense, extraordinary privilege. And more than that, she exemplifies this

00:19:34.820 tendency in modernity to want all the privileges and not want any of the duty to her. I mean,

00:19:43.480 she's, she's spelling this out in the Oprah interview. She thinks, oh wow, gosh, being a

00:19:48.220 princess is great. I get to be rich and famous and wear a tiara and live in fancy castles. Man,

00:19:54.000 this sounds awesome. Sign me up. Oh, wait a second. I have to do things. Oh, I don't have the total

00:20:00.860 liberty to do whatever I want at any given time of the day. Yeah, that doesn't sound good. Harry,

00:20:06.580 divorce your family. Do it or do it or else leave all your friends and family or else I'm going to do

00:20:12.900 something horrible and you better, you better listen to me. That, that was the takeaway from

00:20:17.760 the interview. And in Markle's own perverse mind and her warped mind, she's the victim, but she's not,

00:20:24.600 she's not the victim. Even this, this claim here that it was a slight by the royal family

00:20:30.820 that little Archie was not going to be styled a prince. Does that really hold up to scrutiny?

00:20:36.000 Here's her claim. In those months when I was pregnant, all around this same time.

00:20:42.880 So we have in tandem the conversation of he won't be given security. It's not going to be given a title.

00:20:49.100 And also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he's born.

00:21:01.180 What? What? First of all, I, I don't believe this woman. As Piers Morgan said, uh, you know, 0.98

00:21:10.960 he wouldn't believe her if she was reading him her, like the menu at breakfast in the morning or

00:21:15.480 something, right? Something to that effect. Um, so I don't, I don't, I'm not saying it didn't

00:21:19.300 happen. I'm just saying I have, there's no reason to believe anything that this woman says,

00:21:23.320 but let's say something like this did happen. Was the conversation, you know, that boy,

00:21:32.020 you know, Megan, because you are slightly dark skinned, like very, very slightly, like people 0.99

00:21:38.720 wouldn't pick up on it. Like my Sicilian mother was much darker skin than Megan Markle, much, much, 0.99

00:21:42.820 much more so. If that boy comes out even slightly swarthy, he, we have to banish everyone from the 1.00

00:21:49.940 kingdom. This is a horrible, do you think it was that conversation? Or do you think it was,

00:21:53.380 hmm, I wonder who he's going to look like? Because I don't know, I'm much darker skinned than my

00:22:00.360 wife. When we were discussing what our kid would look like, we'd say, oh, I wonder what it'll look

00:22:06.380 like. Will they have your eyes? Will they have your nose? Will they have your skin color? I don't know.

00:22:09.300 He actually didn't get my skin color. Which conversation was it? It seems to me

00:22:14.080 that if the conversation were a vicious, bigoted conversation about how much they're going to hate

00:22:20.800 Harry or Archie rather, if he comes out slightly dark, because I guess the kid is what? He's like

00:22:25.980 an eighth black or something that, you know, that it would be terrible for the royal family. Don't you 1.00

00:22:31.240 think that conversation would have happened before Harry got married? Don't you think that conversation

00:22:36.880 would have happened before the royal family accepted Meghan Markle? Before Prince Charles

00:22:42.660 walked her down the aisle? Before the royal family bent over backwards and did everything to welcome

00:22:48.500 this woman? Did they just, they just learned right, right when the kid was about to be born, they said,

00:22:53.800 oh my gosh, this woman is somewhat black. Oh my goodness. Wow. We need to do something about, 1.00

00:23:00.120 no, I don't think so. I don't think that was the case at all. As for the title, King George V,

00:23:08.100 the grandfather of Queen Elizabeth, declared in the early 20th century, quote, the grandchildren of

00:23:15.280 the sons of any such sovereign in the direct male line, save only the eldest living son of the eldest

00:23:21.280 son of the Prince of Wales, shall have and enjoy in all occasions the style and title enjoyed by the

00:23:26.320 children of the children of dukes of this realm. In layman's terms, what that means is that all the

00:23:32.940 little boys in the direct male line from the, from the king will be styled prince in the line of

00:23:43.860 succession. Harry is the son of Charles, but Harry is not second in line to the throne or third in line

00:23:55.000 to the throne or fourth or fifth. He's sixth now in line to the throne. If William has more kids,

00:23:59.720 he'll be even further away. Archie, far further away than that. It doesn't just go on like that

00:24:04.740 forever. This is something that has been a longstanding convention, no evidence whatsoever

00:24:09.660 that it is racist or bigoted, but everything in this world has to come down to race. And I think some

00:24:16.400 of the revulsion that people feel at this absolutely sickening interview between the Markles,

00:24:21.260 Mr. and Mrs. Markle and Oprah is this sick obsession with race and this failure to have

00:24:28.260 gratitude for anything that we have, even if you're a rich, famous, beautiful princess or prince.

00:25:18.600 It has finally happened. Dr. Seuss, as you know, was canceled by his publisher.

00:25:32.460 Six highly offensive cartoons. What is the offense? I don't know. I still can't figure it out.

00:25:37.480 But canceled by his publisher in those six books. Therefore, you can't find the books really anymore

00:25:45.900 on Amazon. You can buy them on the secondhand market. They're like almost $700 a piece.

00:25:50.640 You can't get them on eBay. Occasionally you'll still see them pop up, but eBay has said they are

00:25:55.600 going to remove these items from the marketplace. But New York Public Library had said, we're not

00:26:02.240 going to remove them from the library. That's good. Kids can still check out the Dr. Seuss books

00:26:06.060 from their libraries. We're not, we're not having library purges yet of children's books.

00:26:14.400 Chicago, it's a different story. Chicago Public Library has said that they are going to cancel

00:26:19.240 these Dr. Seuss books. According to Chicago Public Library spokesman, Patrick Malloy,

00:26:26.980 officials are deeply committed to promoting reading material that provides accurate and current

00:26:33.360 information. And apparently these Dr. Seuss cartoons, they weren't accurate. You know,

00:26:40.180 it turns out that people aren't like sort of green bunny rabbit looking things. It turns out that cats

00:26:46.800 don't really wear hats. Did you know that? What is, what is accurate and current information

00:26:54.580 with regard to children's books? Current here is an important aspect of it too. So this spokesman says,

00:27:03.080 quote, it is important to recognize that what society understands to be relevant and or common

00:27:08.920 knowledge changes over time. And so too does the library and the needs of the communities it serves.

00:27:15.760 Library staff encourage patrons of all ages to engage critically with our materials,

00:27:20.320 but materials that become dated or that foster inaccurate culturally harmful stereotypes

00:27:26.820 are removed to make space for more current comprehensive materials.

00:27:33.200 That word dated, I think that's the key here. Because in a very basic sense, all reading material

00:27:43.860 becomes dated over time. I don't think so. I mean, I think that, I don't partake of this very

00:27:52.320 left-wing vision of culture and history that the past, bad, future, good, present, wonderful.

00:28:01.480 I think that there's much to be learned from the past. And in many ways, the past was superior to

00:28:06.140 the time we're living in now. Some ways it's not, in some ways it is. By the logic of this left-winger

00:28:13.120 at the Chicago library, they're going to get rid of all the books in the library because they're all

00:28:19.000 dated to some degree. Goodness gracious, the Bible is dated in some ways. When are we going to get

00:28:27.100 rid of all that too? The very purpose of a library is to preserve these works of art, literature, and

00:28:36.480 history, keep them in a nice special place where you can go and access that knowledge, even without

00:28:42.360 money. Go in, you can check it out, and you can preserve that culture throughout the ages.

00:28:49.560 And what the spokesman for the Chicago library is saying is, no, we don't want those old ages. Get 1.00

00:28:55.200 rid of that stuff. Might as well torch the library. I don't think I'm being hyperbolic because it isn't

00:29:01.220 just about Dr. Seuss. Dr. Seuss is this kind of silly example of it, but this has been going on for

00:29:07.500 a long time and it's getting much, much worse. The library further added, quote, that they want to

00:29:15.060 ensure that the materials we circulate are responsive to the communities we serve.

00:29:22.300 The purpose of a library is not to be responsive to the communities we serve.

00:29:31.340 The purpose of a, that's the purpose of a fast food restaurant. Fast food restaurant is supposed

00:29:37.560 to cater to the appetites of the customer. Movie theaters, same thing. Libraries are different.

00:29:48.800 The purpose of a library is to educate, to entertain to a degree, to serve as a homeless shelter if

00:29:56.940 you're in Los Angeles. Sure. Primarily the purpose is to educate and education is not about serving the

00:30:06.720 appetites and desires of the student. Education is about instructing the student in what they should

00:30:14.560 know and what is not worth knowing, in what is true and what is false, in what is right and what is wrong,

00:30:23.480 in what is good and in what is bad. That is an arrogant act, you might say. It's an arrogant act

00:30:32.280 because the people who curate the library are telling you this is better than that. Read this,

00:30:41.420 this you don't need to read. This we're going to include in our catalog, this we're not.

00:30:44.120 And that's what the library is still doing. No matter what gobbledygook they say about,

00:30:47.840 we need to be responsive to community. It's not quite, quite that way. There may,

00:30:52.740 maybe they're responding to public pressure, but they're curating an experience. And what they're

00:30:59.000 saying is that old, old things are bad. Undermines the premise of a library. Just one more reason

00:31:05.340 that people are leaving places like Chicago. According to the Associated Press right now,

00:31:11.520 144 cities could be downgraded from the term metropolitan to micropolitan.

00:31:21.680 They're being downgraded, rather, according to the Metropolitan Statistical Area status.

00:31:30.640 And this is because people are fleeing the cities right now. Why are people fleeing the cities?

00:31:34.600 Well, in part because a bunch of sociopath politicians have locked everyone inside for a

00:31:41.240 year. So if you live in New York, I lived in New York for a very long time. If you live in Manhattan,

00:31:47.160 say, or even Brooklyn, or even a little further out, you live in a very small little pod. My first

00:31:52.380 apartment after college in Manhattan, I was sharing it with two other guys. My bedroom was 70 square feet,

00:31:59.040 7-0. We couldn't get the bed in through the door. We actually had to build a sort of fake wall that didn't even go

00:32:07.200 all the way up to the ceiling after we put the bed in, and it didn't have any windows. And I spent a lot of money

00:32:12.800 on that apartment. It was like something like $1,100 a month, maybe more. You do that, you live in a little

00:32:19.880 shoebox in the cities because your living room is the city itself. You go to the bars, you go to the restaurants,

00:32:25.460 you go to the museums. If you're in New York, you go to Central Park. You go to beer gardens, right? You

00:32:30.480 go to the theater. The whole city is your playground. If all that's shut down, there is zero reason to pay

00:32:36.480 those exorbitant prices to live in a little matchbox in the city. So people are moving out. This is great

00:32:44.680 news. Excellent news. Part of the reason they're doing it too is, you know, obviously people are commuting

00:32:52.200 on their computers now, right? It's Zoom meetings. Can't do it for every job, but a lot of jobs,

00:32:57.400 and especially jobs of yuppies who are living in Manhattan. You can telecommute, so people are

00:33:01.380 leaving. This is great news for conservatives. We should celebrate it. There's very rarely great

00:33:05.380 news for conservatives in our news cycle, so we should take the win when we can. Urbanization

00:33:10.120 leads to liberalism and progressivism. It just happens. It's always the way that happens. When cities

00:33:16.880 start to go from red to blue, it's because the cities are growing. There is something about being

00:33:22.660 attracted to the cities that makes people more left-wing. We could spend hours and hours talking

00:33:29.500 about why that is, but suffice it to say that is an eternal fact with very, very few exceptions

00:33:36.720 throughout history, if any exceptions. When people leave the cities, this is very good news for

00:33:43.040 conservatives. Now, one of the reasons that people moving into the cities that urbanization is so bad

00:33:51.040 for conservatives is not just because it gives more power centers in red states and maybe flip states.

00:33:56.740 It's also because it homogenizes the culture, so it removes localism. If you were to look at America

00:34:04.880 100 years ago before sort of mass urbanization, you would have seen lots of different little cultures. 0.77

00:34:11.380 It's even clearer if you look at a country like Italy, where you have lots of little cultures all 1.00

00:34:16.100 over the place. But now, as the cities have grown, the cities are all basically the same. They all

00:34:22.660 really resemble one another quite a lot, and the culture becomes much more standardized. Very bad

00:34:28.560 for localism, subsidiarity, federalism, conservative governance. The fear here is that as Libs leave the

00:34:37.700 cities and move into the suburbs and exurbs and out into the country, that this is actually going to

00:34:42.320 be bad because they're going to turn our nice conservative places blue. I'm not that worried

00:34:49.500 about that. I'm much happier removing some of the power of the cities, dispersing those Libs throughout 1.00

00:34:56.580 the countryside and the suburbs and the exurbs, if they really do that. Because while it might cost us a

00:35:02.860 couple of elections for city council or I guess town council or town supervisor or something,

00:35:07.960 what that will do, the benefit of that I think will outweigh the negative, which is it will force

00:35:14.080 Libs to be around conservatives. When you're in the city, you don't really need to be around 0.98

00:35:18.600 conservatives. When you're in the country or even the suburbs, you do. And you have to realize then

00:35:24.380 that what you were told on CNN and MSNBC and the New York Times is not true. You're going to have to

00:35:29.580 realize because you're just going to see it with your neighbors that the Trump supporters are not

00:35:34.400 Nazis. They're not literally Hitler. You have been lied to. You're going to get along with people.

00:35:40.900 You have to get back together again if you want to have a functioning country. If everyone's just

00:35:46.620 going to go to their own little corners and we're all going to live in our own little pods and our

00:35:49.580 sort of semi-virtual realities with very little in common, then you don't have much of a country.

00:35:54.240 We need to get together again, not just by moving out into more spacious territories,

00:36:00.220 but also by meeting up, getting together, having Thanksgiving, having Christmas, celebrating

00:36:04.960 birthdays. We haven't been allowed to do that by the psychos in the CDC and the public health

00:36:10.880 experts and the politicians for a year. Now though, good news from the CDC, a year into two weeks to

00:36:20.160 slow the spread, they're going to let us see one another again in very limited circumstances.

00:36:24.240 CDC recommends that fully vaccinated people can visit with other fully vaccinated people in

00:36:30.940 small gatherings indoors without wearing masks or physical distancing. So what does this mean?

00:36:37.180 If you and a friend or you and a family member are both vaccinated, you can have dinner together

00:36:42.940 wearing masks without distancing. You can visit your grandparents if you have been vaccinated and

00:36:49.280 they have been vaccinated. I know that I can see my friends. I know that I can go meet up with people

00:36:56.660 at their houses or in public. I know that I can see my relatives because I've been doing that for a

00:37:03.720 year because I've been ignoring all of you awful tyrants, all of you awful lab coat dictators who have

00:37:13.700 been changing your guidance day by day, but somehow the, the rules always seem to stay the same or get

00:37:20.840 worse. I know I can do all that. I'm pleased that you, the rest of the people who have been following

00:37:29.440 you very foolishly will now be told that, but we've known this for a very long time. I strongly recommend

00:37:38.080 that you take advantage of this opportunity. If you have not gone and seen your friends and relatives,

00:37:43.660 you absolutely should go do it. But the CDC is not going to let go of all the power yet. See,

00:37:47.940 they're saying, well, if it's a, if it's a vaccinated person seeing someone who is unvaccinated,

00:37:52.880 who knows someone who's this, then you can't, you've got to forget about it. Forget about it. I think

00:37:58.020 they know that they're losing power. And I think they know that people, you just look around you and

00:38:02.900 see people are just violating it. They've had enough of this stuff. And so they're going to start to let up

00:38:07.140 on it. Just ignore these people. There is no reason, they have just been wrong and wrong and

00:38:12.660 wrong again. They have, the public health expert apparatus has in some cases been outright dishonest.

00:38:20.600 And I just don't see any reason to, to pay any attention to them whatsoever. You've got to get

00:38:27.040 back together. It is disordered to muzzle yourself in public, to not be able to see your fellow citizens

00:38:32.320 smiling faces. It is disordered not to go see your friends and relatives, not to gather together.

00:38:39.560 Man is a social animal and there are, there are more important things in life than a cough.

00:38:46.920 If you're in an extraordinary, extraordinarily at risk group, you know, be prudent. Prudence is a

00:38:53.580 virtue. But that's not really what I notice. Most people I know who are sort of up there in age,

00:38:59.180 they're the least likely people to wear their masks because they know better.

00:39:03.440 They're the least likely people to refuse to see anybody. The people I noticed doing this are all

00:39:09.060 these perfectly healthy millennials who have a totally warped sense of themselves in the world.

00:39:16.840 It's the sort of Meghan Markle generation. They don't, they've just totally gone, gone upside down.

00:39:23.520 Come together, everybody. I beg you. We need to appropriate cultures. We need to appropriate,

00:39:31.080 and you're not allowed to appropriate culture, but we do need to get together again. Chris Cuomo

00:39:33.960 just got in trouble for cultural appropriation because Chris Cuomo was on TV talking to his friend

00:39:40.060 Don Lemon, as Tucker Carlson calls him. And Chris Cuomo made the claim that he's black on the inside.

00:39:47.420 Take a listen. Just looking out of the window, watching the asphalt grow, thinking how it all

00:39:56.440 looks handy. How do you know the words? Good times. You know I'm black on the inside. Good times.

00:40:02.260 Good times. Anytime you need a baby. Good times. So Florida. Chris Cuomo, very in trouble for this

00:40:08.200 shocking microaggression, macroaggression. You can tell Don Lemon doesn't seem to care about it.

00:40:12.800 Uh, I hate, I'm not going to defend Chris Cuomo, but in this particular moment, I guess I have to.

00:40:18.100 You can't at once tell people be less white and then also tell them don't appropriate any cultures. 0.67

00:40:22.980 Good times is a great TV show. It's not the greatest black sitcom of the era. That award 1.00

00:40:27.120 would go to the Jeffersons, but there's actually an important lesson to take out of this stupid

00:40:31.620 bantering between the two of them, which is you've got to get together, talk to one another,

00:40:36.640 see one another, take the stupid mask off. So you got to actually communicate with one another,

00:40:40.200 enjoy one another's cultures, not be so prideful, not be so arrogant, not be so demanding, not be so

00:40:47.420 trigger happy to be offended all the time. Then you're going to have a country. I'm not even,

00:40:52.900 this isn't just some rousing sort of feel good. Come on, we all got to get together. I'm just saying

00:40:56.440 if you, if you do that, you have a country. If you don't do that, you don't have a country.

00:41:00.400 Which way will the country go? There is some very good news on the political front for we here on

00:41:09.560 the right in the Republican party. David Bossie, chairman of the RNC debate commission was just

00:41:16.380 speaking with Breitbart at CPAC and he did something or he committed to do something that a lot of us on

00:41:25.200 the right have been begging the Republican party to do for years and years and years, which is

00:41:29.700 for years now, we know that the mainstream media are the opposition party. We know that the

00:41:35.040 mainstream media, so-called mainstream media, the establishment media, legacy media, whatever you

00:41:38.980 want to call them, they are Democrats. They work for the Democrats. They push the Democrats narratives.

00:41:43.420 There is no distinction really to be made between the media and the Democrats. And yet we allow

00:41:50.540 those mainstream media to run our presidential debates. The left doesn't do that. The left 0.98

00:41:58.260 doesn't go to Daily Wire and say, Hey, Daily Wire, we want you to moderate the Democratic presidential

00:42:03.160 debate. They don't know that they go to their guys. And yet for some reason, Republicans go to their

00:42:07.340 guys too. Well, David Bossie now saying no more. So what we're doing is we're going to make sure

00:42:15.440 that the presidential debates are fair, are, are on the networks that are not going to beat us up.

00:42:22.440 Um, uh, and, and therefore, uh, look, we're not going to be having any of the CNN and MSNBCs of the

00:42:29.340 world. So we're going to do a great job. And I think that the, the, the party's going to be better

00:42:33.400 off for it. The party will be much, much better off for that. Uh, I'm not saying that NBC or some

00:42:42.360 left-wing outlet can't moderate an actual presidential debate between the Democrats,

00:42:47.680 Democratic nominee and the Republican nominee. Probably you're going to have to do that. At

00:42:51.440 least do one of the debates if we ever have more debates, but why would you let the opposition

00:42:56.940 moderate your own party's primary campaigns? Doesn't make any sense at all. Glad to see that

00:43:02.380 after years and years and decades and decades, the Republicans are waking up to this.

00:43:06.100 Speaking of Cuomo's speaking a little earlier of Chris Cuomo, we have to turn from Fredo to Michael

00:43:13.480 from Chris to Andrew Cuomo. Andrew Cuomo is under fire. The democratic leaders in his state are

00:43:22.720 calling on him to resign. Cuomo says, impeach me. This according to the Associated Press and a brief

00:43:30.960 phone conversation Sunday prior to the press conference, Cuomo told a New York state Senate

00:43:34.540 majority leader, Andrea Stewart cousins, that he would not quit and they would have to impeach him

00:43:40.280 if they want him out of office. I love this. Oh, do I love this. One, I admire Andrew Cuomo.

00:43:51.200 Not general, generally speaking, I think he's a degenerate and a derelict, but, but I admire his

00:43:56.860 political courage here because what Cuomo sees, he's looking around and he's saying, okay, you opportunist

00:44:02.300 Dems, you people are getting rid of me now because of some ginned up contrived sex thing where no one's 0.61

00:44:10.480 even alleging that any of us had any sex. You're just kind of, it's just some very vague me too

00:44:15.980 political thing. When we all know that you're going to go after me for the handling of COVID and for the

00:44:23.160 coverup of COVID, but you don't want to admit that that's why you're going after me because that's

00:44:27.560 going to make all of you look bad. Well, okay. If you really want me out, impeach me. What are you

00:44:35.200 going to impeach me for? Are you going to impeach me for giving an Italian sausage and pepper sandwich

00:44:40.180 to a reporter, which is actually one of the complaints that Democrats are making here that

00:44:47.440 one time Andrew Cuomo was at some political event and a reporter was hungry and he gave her a sausage

00:44:53.020 and pepper sandwich and made jokes about eating the sandwich. Are you going to impeach me for that?

00:44:58.160 Or are you going to impeach me for killing thousands of elderly New Yorkers and covering it up? A crime

00:45:05.020 that implicates a lot of you people too. What are you going to do? Impeach me. I love it. I totally,

00:45:12.500 I think that is a great one. Good for him for standing up for his career. I don't like his political

00:45:18.100 career, but good for him for standing up for it. And the other reason I love it is the,

00:45:21.960 the schadenfreude here because now I've got to watch all these Democrats in New York squirm

00:45:25.840 because they don't want to go after him for that. Does he survive? It's hard to see how he survives.

00:45:30.300 I mean, he's really, really under fire right now, but if anybody can do it, it's Andrew Cuomo. You

00:45:35.580 shouldn't count that guy out too soon. He's clearly going to exercise all of his options until he can do

00:45:41.580 so and no more. Speaking of people running for president, we have some potential presidential

00:45:48.560 nominees in 2024. And the question is, who are they going to run against? Are they going to run

00:45:53.520 against Joe Biden? Are they going to run against Kamala Harris? Well, Joe Biden was recently giving

00:45:58.820 a press conference. And during that press conference, he forgot the name of the Pentagon,

00:46:04.920 his secretary of defense, and then had to be told where to go after he left the podium.

00:46:11.420 I want to thank you both. And I want to thank the former general, I keep calling him general,

00:46:18.860 my, my, the guy who runs that outfit over there. I want to make sure we thank the secretary for all

00:46:27.700 he's done to try to implement what we just talked about and for recommending these two women for

00:46:33.840 promotion. Thank you all. May God bless you all and may God protect our troops.

00:46:43.180 Oh, all right. Now, he turns, faces Kamala, faces, okay, one of the service women. And then

00:46:53.900 where do I, huh? Where do I, turns, he's got his back to the reporters. Where do I, huh? Wait a minute.

00:46:59.820 Where's that guy? What's that guy? The general? He's not a general. No, is he? He's a,

00:47:03.840 is he a lieutenant? No, he's not. He's more than a, was he a secretary? A secretary. That's right.

00:47:07.740 Secretary of what? Anyway, thank you.

00:47:15.200 Somebody tells me that guy is not going to be the nominee in 2024. We are like two months

00:47:22.580 into his first, not even, not even, we're like a, less than a month and a half into his

00:47:28.680 first year in office. And the guy can't remember the name of his cabinet secretaries.

00:47:36.960 So what does this mean for 2024? Is it Kamala? Maybe. Who runs against Kamala? Lots of people.

00:47:45.340 Mike Pompeo intimating that he might be interested in running. Ron DeSantis seems poised to run

00:47:52.040 lots. My colleague here, Candace Owens, has said she might run for president. Lots of other,

00:47:58.260 lots of other candidates about to throw their hats in the ring. We might be not, not at the

00:48:04.320 beginning of the new Biden era. We might, we might be at the end of something here. And what,

00:48:08.240 what comes next? That, I suppose, is up to us. I hope it's up to us. I hope it's not too late for

00:48:14.060 us to still have a say in our government. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show. See you tomorrow.
