The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 740 - A Nation Of Neurotics

00:00:00.000 I'm not against vaccines, okay? I'm not even necessarily against the COVID vaccine.

00:00:07.880 However, the neurotic creeps that keep demanding that we all get this vaccine, no matter our risk

00:00:15.720 level, no matter how young or healthy we are, who just insist on it, who want to watch us do it,

00:00:21.260 they are making me significantly less inclined to get the vaccine. Case in point, Brian Stelter,

00:00:29.340 CNN, who has this voyeuristic, creepy desire to watch conservatives on television getting

00:00:36.860 jabbed with the COVID shot. I think it's really important to see all these TV anchors, personalities

00:00:43.200 showing themselves getting the shot. We've seen a lot of vaccine selfies from lots of folks at lots

00:00:49.280 of different networks. It's been really inspiring to see. The Today Show even brought the co-host

00:00:55.300 outside for a live group vaccination this week. And Rachel Maddow on Friday on MSNBC talked about

00:01:01.400 how she was really fearful of the needle, really worried about it. And yet it was important to

00:01:06.820 get the shot. And she did. And there she is talking about it on air. So I say all of that to make the

00:01:11.460 following point. Where are Tucker and Sean Hannity and Laura Ingram? Where is Ainsley

00:01:16.260 Earhart and Steve Ducey and Brian Kilmeade? Where are the biggest stars on Fox getting vaccinated?

00:01:21.660 I get it's a personal choice. I get that's between, you know, the hosts and their health care provider.

00:01:27.780 But everybody else is doing it, right, Matt? I mean, all across television, all these anchors

00:01:31.500 are rolling up their sleeves. Why do you think we haven't seen the biggest stars on Fox News

00:01:36.260 get vaccinated or show us their vaccine selfies?

00:01:39.760 It's really important that they show us their vaccine selfies. It's so there's nothing more

00:01:44.580 important to public health than for some young and healthy conservative TV hosts to get a shot 0.99

00:01:50.060 on TV, right? I love he says it's really inspiring to watch these people who have done it. And then

00:01:55.020 he shows a picture of himself. It's so inspiring. It's so virtuous. Because, of course, this is not

00:02:01.220 about prudential judgments and risk assessment. This is about a new scientific sacrament in the

00:02:09.600 religion of secular progressivism. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show.

00:02:20.260 Welcome back to the show. Really, really crazy stuff. I spoke at Ave Maria College on Friday. Was it

00:02:29.600 Thursday or Friday? It was my first speech back on campuses in 14 months. I had done it. I was supposed

00:02:36.680 to do about 20 campus speeches last year. They all got canceled, except for one or two just before

00:02:42.360 coronavirus. Then starting in March, they all got canceled, obviously, because the colleges were

00:02:46.320 closed. It was great to be back. And coincidentally, we spoke about this religion of secular

00:02:53.200 progressivism, the same kind of craziness that Brian Stelter is implying. And I recommend you go check out

00:03:01.260 the talk. I really enjoyed it. Who knows how much longer it'll stay online because it questions not

00:03:07.080 the science. I'm using a lot of air quotes today, but I really am only using the air quotes around the

00:03:12.460 word science. It's this way of justifying all this neurotic sort of pseudo religion that the left is

00:03:22.400 pushing right now. So you can go ahead over and check that out on YouTube. My favorite comment on Friday

00:03:27.400 from Jake who says, so if I tell them that I don't have any documents, you know, at the border in the

00:03:32.880 country, do I get $15,000? Hello, my name is Javier. Where do I sign up? Yes, New York's, New York is

00:03:40.800 giving $15,000 grants, a little over that actually. I think it's $15,600 to illegal aliens. They're not

00:03:47.540 going to let you, the American citizen, go out, run your business, work your job, but they will pay 0.92

00:03:53.300 people five figures to violate our laws. That is how backwards things have become. Please call me

00:04:00.380 Miguel, Miguelito. Yes, Miguelito from that Latin, famously Latin American country of Sicily.

00:04:08.200 I guess they spoke Latin there some time ago. That would, look, if I had an extra $15,000 in the bank,

00:04:13.860 that would help me certainly sleep easier at night. The way I'm already sleeping easy though,

00:04:18.280 ball and branch. If you dream of comfortable sheets at a price that won't keep you up all night,

00:04:22.600 look no further than ball and branch. Ball and branch makes the softest organic sheets on the

00:04:27.500 market. They get better with every wash. Comfort is not their only standard, by the way. They use

00:04:31.840 100% sustainable raw materials. They're the first fair trade certified manufacturer of linen.

00:04:37.500 You can feel as good about your ball and branch sheets as they feel against your skin. These

00:04:42.320 signature hemmed sheets from ball and branch are a bestseller for a reason. Buttery soft, lightweight,

00:04:46.980 organic cotton, and a classic sateen weave for sheets that get softer over time. I had a queen

00:04:54.760 size pair of these sheets. They're the greatest sheets I ever used. I love them so much. It was

00:04:59.180 wonderful. It really made the early days of my marriage great. Then we upgraded. We got a king

00:05:02.800 sized bed. We didn't have those sheets. We didn't. And I, we had, we said, should we get them? I don't

00:05:08.740 know. Should we? Yes, we have to. Of course we do. And, and you really have to get them too. They are,

00:05:13.120 they are the best part about going to sleep. Experience the best sheets that you've ever

00:05:30.300 the mainstream media that we all get this COVID vaccine, no matter how young and how healthy we are,

00:05:35.380 is weird and creepy. And the fact that they want to watch us do it is even creepier. And the fact that

00:05:42.420 they have been wrong about COVID from the beginning and they have misled people about

00:05:46.920 two weeks to slow the spread, flatten the curve, find a cure. Now we're going to be locked down

00:05:50.480 according to some people for years at this point. The fact that their predictions have been wrong,

00:05:55.800 2 million people dead. Donald Trump's timetable is never going to work. Trump's timetable on the

00:06:00.360 vaccine was absolutely 100% correct. They don't have any credibility. So why on earth should I

00:06:06.320 trust them? I'm not saying that vaccines are terrible. I'm not saying, I'm not even saying I won't

00:06:10.480 get the COVID vaccine at some point. I'm just saying, I feel no rush to do it. And their insistence

00:06:15.760 that I do is making me less likely to do it. They also have no explanation for why the states that

00:06:22.800 have reopened are watching their coronavirus cases go down. And those are Republican states and the

00:06:29.880 states that are continuing to lock down, Democrat states, are seeing cases skyrocket. They're trying

00:06:35.880 to come up with a bunch of cockamamie answers, but they just don't have it. Here's the Today Show

00:06:39.860 trying to figure it out. Call it a COVID conundrum. In states with the strictest measures in the

00:06:45.220 country, like Michigan, Pennsylvania, and much of New England, cases are on the rise. While in the

00:06:51.040 South, states like Arkansas and Texas that have reopened businesses and ripped away mask mandates

00:06:55.940 are seeing their numbers drop. I'm announcing today that the statewide mask mandate will be lifted.

00:07:02.940 People and businesses don't need the state telling them how to operate.

00:07:08.060 So what might explain the apparent contradiction? One theory, differences in testing rates.

00:07:14.300 Alabama has experienced one of the biggest dips in reported infections, more than 50% in two weeks,

00:07:20.380 but it's also dead last in the U.S. for COVID testing. Only 56 tests per 100,000 people.

00:07:26.800 That's a fraction of what you'll find in places like Vermont, Massachusetts, and New York,

00:07:31.240 where numbers are surging. How much does lack of adequate testing have to do

00:07:35.340 with the numbers that we're seeing right now? When you don't test, you're blind. And when you're

00:07:39.520 not testing, you have a false sense of what the real problem is in your community.

00:07:45.420 Another theory, COVID fatigue.

00:07:48.020 That's the theory. This goes on for several minutes, and they just go through a bunch of

00:07:51.660 different theories as to why their main theory doesn't work. It shows you how desperate they are.

00:07:59.100 Absolutely pathetic. I think people should watch the whole clip at some point. You go on the 0.99

00:08:03.040 internet, later watch the whole NBC clip. They're just throwing spaghetti at the wall. But even to

00:08:07.200 their point here, their best theory that they led with is, well, the reason that it looks like the

00:08:11.900 states that reopened are fine and the Democrat states that are still locked down are surging.

00:08:17.480 The reason is because the Democrat states are testing more. Okay. Well, we're not seeing spikes

00:08:24.380 in death, right? We're not seeing spikes in people's lives falling apart. It just looks like Texas

00:08:29.820 and Florida and all the normal conservative states are fine. I mean, I was in Texas a few,

00:08:35.060 or rather in Florida a few days ago. I've been to Florida several times this year, at least three,

00:08:39.760 four times this year. And it's great. It's totally fine. It's totally normal, but they're not testing.

00:08:44.540 They don't know how bad it is. I mean, this is the same sort of logic, illogic that you hear

00:08:49.300 from leftists when they say that oppressed groups of people just don't understand how oppressed they are.

00:08:56.120 They're laboring under a false consciousness when some allegedly marginalized group goes about its

00:09:02.500 day without thinking about how terrible their lives are. No, maybe you're just a bunch of neurotics 1.00

00:09:09.060 on the left and you're worrying in an inordinate way about this virus, which requires some prudential 0.95

00:09:17.880 judgment, but doesn't imply that you should completely shut your lives down. Absolute neurotic 0.95

00:09:24.480 hysteria that has now been exposed that they are now scrambling to try to defend, but there is no

00:09:30.140 way to defend it. It is just a weird quirk of the left-wing psychology. So people like Governor

00:09:37.820 DeSantis in Florida have been right the whole time. And Democrats like, well, Andrew Cuomo for sure,

00:09:44.820 but other leading Democrat governors on coronavirus too, have been wrong the whole time. And that's just

00:09:50.160 the way it is. So DeSantis just held a panel in Florida. It was with a number of experts on the,

00:09:56.440 on the virus, including Harvard professor, Dr. Martin Kulldorff, Oxford university epidemiologist,

00:10:02.140 Dr. Sunitra Gupta, Stanford physician and epidemiologist, Jay Bhattacharya, and Stanford

00:10:08.540 professor, Dr. Scott Atlas. He moderated this discussion regarding the, the response to the COVID

00:10:15.400 pandemic and the insanity that the left has foisted on us. And do you know what happened? They posted

00:10:20.920 this on YouTube and YouTube pulled it down. YouTube said, we can't have this kind of misinformation,

00:10:28.460 this violation of our community guidelines on the air. So you can have Andrew Cuomo go on and spout a

00:10:37.800 bunch of nonsense and lies about coronavirus. Totally fine. You can have that on YouTube. 0.65

00:10:41.620 You can have a bunch of other doctors, frankly, with less impressive credentials than these guys

00:10:46.260 from Harvard, Stanford, Oxford. You can have them go on and say that we all need to hunker down

00:10:51.220 and maybe come out of our homes in 2027. But if you get a successful governor and correct experts to go

00:11:01.280 on and criticize the liberal establishment's insane response to coronavirus, that's not allowed.

00:11:09.600 And it doesn't matter. Governor DeSantis was elected by the people. Too bad. Who cares?

00:11:15.000 YouTube's not going to, not going to have it because YouTube has much more political power

00:11:20.160 than Ron DeSantis. YouTube has much more political power than any Republican politician in the country.

00:11:27.320 In the words of Mitch McConnell, big technology would appear along with woke America, corporate

00:11:33.080 America generally. This big business would appear to be running a parallel government.

00:11:39.660 And we need to stop that. For several decades, Republicans embraced this really shallow ideology

00:11:49.440 that suggested that big business, good, big government, bad. Anything, frankly, anything government does,

00:11:57.080 bad. Anything these giant corporations do, totally good, including censoring the people's

00:12:03.900 duly elected representatives when they tell the truth about coronavirus. And even beyond,

00:12:08.600 well, this is true and this is false and here's a fact and this is a lie. They're just expressing

00:12:12.700 their political opinion about what measures were taken, which obviously there were a ton of mistakes

00:12:19.920 made along the way. I don't think anybody would deny that. But that's not permissible because that

00:12:24.640 contradicts the state established religion of secular progressivism. And so they are going to

00:12:30.180 be shut down. And I think Republicans need to wake up. We are starting to wake up finally and say,

00:12:35.460 oh, big business when they behave in this way and undermine our whole country and subvert our

00:12:39.320 constitutional order. They're no better than big government. In many ways, they're much worse

00:12:44.240 because there's not even the semblance of accountability for these people. YouTube will just

00:12:48.840 pull it and Ron DeSantis can complain about it. He can try to pass some laws in Florida.

00:12:53.140 Probably even that won't be very successful. Who is really running the country?

00:13:00.460 Times like these with such political craziness makes you want to invest in physical gold.

00:13:05.240 Physical gold is not the cheapest thing in the world. You know, you're not going to reach in

00:13:09.600 your couch cushions and be able to just buy several bars of physical gold. But Acre has figured out this

00:13:14.960 great way to let you invest in gold without coming out of pocket all at once. Acre lets you subscribe

00:13:19.300 to gold bars for as little as $30 a month. You pay each month and once your gold stash reaches the

00:13:24.860 price of their gold bars, they will discreetly ship Acre Gold to your house. Just recently,

00:13:29.540 they introduced a new $100 a month subscription to a five gram gold bar. Acre keeps you updated on

00:13:34.740 your gold stash every month and ships once you reach the price threshold. With Acre, taking physical

00:13:40.260 delivery of your gold means it's safe and sound and in your hands. Acre designs their gold in

00:13:45.220 California sources their gold from one of the largest mints in Switzerland. They provide

00:13:49.780 industry first packaging that looks and feels more expensive than other gold alternatives.

00:13:54.420 Also now, they're making a 24 karat gold 9 millimeter bullet for you to buy. I wouldn't

00:14:00.440 actually shoot this thing. That would be a very expensive round, but pretty amazing, especially

00:14:04.620 during our ammo shortage. Go to getacregold.com slash Michael. Start investing in physical gold today.

00:14:09.280 Make sure you go to this URL because Acre is giving away a gold bar to qualify for the giveaway.

00:14:13.100 Tweet or post while you should be the recipient. Mention at get underscore Acre. That is getacregold.com

00:14:18.620 slash Michael. And thank you, Acre Gold, for supporting the show. Beyond the coronavirus, there is

00:14:23.560 another major public health threat that our country faces. You probably haven't heard of this one. Hard to

00:14:30.820 take a look at it under a microscope, but rest assured the CDC director, Dr. Rochelle Walensky,

00:14:36.500 is focused on it. This would be the serious public health threat of racism. She says, quote,

00:14:46.200 the disparities seen over the past year were not a result of COVID-19. Instead, the pandemic

00:14:51.620 illuminated inequities that have existed for generations and revealed for all of America,

00:14:57.460 unknown but often unaddressed epidemic impacting public health. Racism. What we know is this.

00:15:05.480 Racism is a serious public health threat that directly affects the well-being of millions of

00:15:12.040 Americans. As a result, it affects the health of our entire nation. Not one sentence in that statement

00:15:21.040 was coherent. Not one idea that was expressed by the CDC director made any sense. Racism is not a public

00:15:32.480 health threat. It's not a serious public health threat. It's just not a public health threat at

00:15:36.980 all. Not every bad thing is a public health threat. But there is a reason that they're trying to frame

00:15:45.040 it this way. This is, this, this is the heart of my talk that I, coincidentally, that I, or providentially

00:15:51.060 perhaps, that I just gave at Ave Maria College. Everything needs to be made scientific. Science,

00:15:58.620 in that very narrow, empirical, modern idea of science. Everything now needs to fit into that.

00:16:06.220 Racial hatred is bad. It is not a public health threat. But because the, the only way that we can 0.98

00:16:15.920 discuss anything anymore is in this very shallow, narrow language of, of physical, material science,

00:16:22.420 everything has got to be gussied up in that sort of language. Why, why is racism bad?

00:16:29.840 You ever, I know, and we're all told racism is really, really bad, you know. So what is racism,

00:16:33.380 right? Hatred, antagonism towards someone on the basis of their race, bad stuff. Why is it bad?

00:16:43.260 Can you, I can, I can answer why it's, it's bad because it's an offense against human dignity

00:16:48.540 because man is made in the image of God. That's why, that's it. It's not complicated. That's it.

00:16:55.020 Very simple. Was that one sentence? Good. Okay. Now, if you don't believe in God and you sort of

00:17:03.640 deny or at least ignore all the metaphysical aspects of our life, you know, our hopes, our joys,

00:17:08.780 our loves, dignity, all that sort of stuff, and you just believe in the physical stuff,

00:17:13.320 why is racism bad? You can't give an answer. There is no answer. You can't really say anything's bad

00:17:19.540 or anything's good for that matter. So these people, these, these people who have absolutely no

00:17:25.960 political, philosophical, theological education or sophistication whatsoever, and frankly,

00:17:34.400 they don't have much scientific education either. They try to gussy everything up in the,

00:17:39.600 the normal language that we hear about public, public health.

00:17:47.200 Manifestly, that is, manifestly racism is not a public health threat. And even if it were,

00:17:52.220 it wouldn't be a threat to the people who aren't of the affected races, right? You can't,

00:17:56.960 you can't explain why racism is bad with that really narrow, silly vocabulary. You have to expand 0.98

00:18:05.340 your mind a little bit, but we can't because the minute that you start granting the existence of

00:18:10.440 a metaphysical reality of, of an objective moral order of the supernatural, there's a natural world

00:18:16.200 and then there's the supernatural world. The moment that you admit of that, then the state religion of

00:18:21.040 secular progressivism falls apart. And the state religion of secular progressivism, by the way,

00:18:26.160 now hinging on this neurotic fear of death that has perfectly healthy millennials putting 17 masks on

00:18:32.160 their face and getting shots on television to, to show their supreme virtue. That is embarrassing

00:18:38.800 stuff. You should not, you should not make that your religion. Speaking of racial hatred and public 0.71

00:18:46.660 and actual public health threats, you're going to be shocked to hear this. If you're driving, pull over.

00:18:51.120 If you're standing up, sit down. There's a new report out that shows that cities that held Black Lives 0.96

00:19:00.660 Matter protests, uh, saw their murder rate shot up, uh, shoot up rather in, uh, the last few years.

00:19:09.880 And that's shocking with, because I've been told by places like CNN that the BLM protests are mostly

00:19:19.640 peaceful. So it's so weird how those cities where BLM takes over, see their murder rates skyrocket

00:19:26.480 between 2014 and 2019. So not just 2020, but actually excluding 2020 from 2014 to 2019. Cause you know,

00:19:34.760 BLM has been around for a while. These places saw a 10% increase in murders. This was a preliminary 0.95

00:19:41.660 stuff from a study conducted by Travis Campbell, who's a PhD student at UMass Amherst, uh, said that

00:19:47.880 these cities with protests, red riots, uh, had quote, somewhere between 1,000 and 6,000 more homicides.

00:19:56.480 Than would have been expected if places with protests were on the same trend as places that

00:20:00.860 did not have protests. Imagine what that number is going to look like when you add 2020 into it.

00:20:06.500 Where you had the most explicit street violence that we've seen, political street violence that

00:20:11.760 we've seen in our country in a very long time. And this is, by the way, this is not just being

00:20:16.240 reported by the daily wire or a conservative outlet. This is being reported by Vox, Vox.com,

00:20:21.420 which is a left-wing outlet. If we want to address the public health threats of racial hatred and

00:20:32.580 tension, maybe we should shut down BLM. Maybe the federal government should go in and shut down that 0.99

00:20:39.260 organization like they would shoot down the mob or the Klan. I wish Bill Barr had done this when he was

00:20:45.180 attorney general during the madness of 2020. I understand he was in a difficult position.

00:20:51.040 It's very tricky when you've got the entire liberal establishment, the woke corporations,

00:20:56.140 funneling tens of millions of dollars into this organization, which was effectively the militant

00:21:01.680 wing of the Democratic Party. I get it. I get that it was really tough. But BLM was a terrorist

00:21:08.760 organization, is a terrorist organization that targets civilians with violence to achieve political

00:21:14.680 ends. That should not be permitted to operate in the United States. If there were anything even

00:21:19.880 remotely like that on the right, the people who ran it would be in prison. The FBI would be shutting

00:21:25.520 that thing down. But because it's left-wing, because the establishment, the public sector and the

00:21:32.460 private sector, all working, they all kind of look like the same sector. Because they're so powerful and

00:21:38.200 so rich, they're not being shut down. And they're really rich. They are really, really rich. There

00:21:44.980 is a great headline from the New York Post today. After news came out that the co-founder of BLM,

00:21:51.740 Patrice Cullors, has been spending millions and millions of dollars on houses, buying up beautiful

00:21:57.500 homes, the headline in the New York Post is, Black Lives Manners. Or the other one is, Buy Large Mansions.

00:22:05.040 That's the other new meaning of BLM. Patrice Cullors is a leftist activist. That is her career. That's

00:22:13.940 what she's done. She did not start some business other than BLM. I guess that is a pretty effective

00:22:20.060 corporation in America. She did not invent some cool gizmo. She didn't work in finance for a long

00:22:25.580 time. She's made all of her money on race hustling and radical Marxist activism. Her words, 0.68

00:22:34.780 not mine. She's admitted this on air. She's a trained Marxist. She then readdressed this when

00:22:43.000 that old video came to light. And she said, yeah, I like Marxist activism. Yeah, that's what we're

00:22:46.520 doing. This is the topic, by the way, of my upcoming book, Speechless, Controlling Words,

00:22:51.240 Controlling Minds, which is available now for pre-order. Thank you to everybody who has pre-ordered

00:22:55.540 it. We have some great stuff. We're going to be doing the audio book soon. You can order a first

00:23:00.500 edition autographed copy of that at Premier Collectibles. The, the topic of that book is

00:23:05.800 how we went from some obscure, brilliant, actually, left-wing theorists about a hundred years ago

00:23:12.340 up to BLM today. What that through line is, what political correctness is, what wokeism is,

00:23:16.600 what cancel culture is. So Patrice Cullors might be facing a little bit of a cancel culture on her own 1.00

00:23:21.080 because now it's come to light. She just, she just snagged four high-end homes for 3.2 million bucks

00:23:27.280 in the U.S. alone. Who knows what the other, what other purchases she's made.

00:23:34.600 Now, you're going to hear that Patrice Cullors, she made her own money in some places. She made a 0.55

00:23:38.880 little bit of money selling a BLM book. Okay, that was her kind of her own money. Where did the rest of

00:23:44.340 this money come from? I don't really know. Now you're going to hear people say, well, this is not

00:23:48.500 fair and this is awful and maybe Patrice Cullors is going to, going to be booted from BLM. Yeah, maybe, 1.00

00:23:53.440 maybe not. Something tells me though, that she just wields political power in a very clever way 1.00

00:23:58.160 and she'll be fine. It's not a big shock. Oh my gosh, you know, wow. She made a lot of money. 0.90

00:24:04.300 Of course she did. Big politics makes big money. That's the way it goes. Big money invites big 1.00

00:24:07.900 politics. And you're going to hear some conservatives say, oh, well now this, now this communist is,

00:24:13.740 is perfectly fine with capitalism now that she's rich. Yeah, it was always sort of the same thing.

00:24:19.480 It was always a power grab. What the left is doing is not coherent ideologically or otherwise. And so,

00:24:26.200 yeah, it's a big power grab, but guess what? They grabbed the power. They have the power.

00:24:30.000 This broad left-wing movement from the radical explicit communists like Patrice Cullors all the

00:24:37.680 way to the more mainstream types in the elected office who support them. They now have the power of

00:24:45.600 the parallel government, of the liberal establishment. They have more power than Ron DeSantis

00:24:49.620 in Florida. They have more power than elected Republicans. Maybe we should start amassing and

00:24:55.160 wielding political power for the good, not for the, not for the bad like they do for the good

00:25:00.940 ourselves. One way to do that, you got to get educated. One great way to get educated,

00:27:10.080 with a lot more. Welcome back to the show.

00:27:26.020 Speaking of radicals throwing around big sums of money, you've got BLM buying up beautiful mansions

00:27:33.480 in California. Wow, that's great. Big politics, big money. And you've got Joe Biden throwing money

00:27:39.700 in the other direction. The Biden administration tacitly admitting that there is a crisis on the

00:27:47.520 southern border. We've got record number of, of foreign nationals pouring over here, record number

00:27:52.680 of unaccompanied minors. I was going to say children, but a lot of them are like 16, 17-year-old

00:27:59.120 gangsters. So some are children, some are, they're minors sort of, but you know, it's a little bit

00:28:05.220 dicey. Joe Biden's big strategy to deal with this problem, he's going to give them a lot of money.

00:28:12.940 Not just the foreign nationals. Places like New York are cutting checks, $15,000 checks to,

00:28:19.500 to the illegal aliens themselves. But what Joe Biden wants to do to try to stem this tide of 0.98

00:28:24.520 illegal immigration is he wants to send a bunch of money to Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.

00:28:31.300 This, according to Roberta Jacobson, who is the White House's southern border coordinator,

00:28:36.520 she told this to Reuters. She didn't say exactly who would get the cash. She didn't say exactly how

00:28:40.500 much money, but that's the plan. Do you see how backwards this is? Two totally separate visions

00:28:49.240 for dealing with this problem and for America. You had Donald Trump, whose, whose program was,

00:28:57.180 we're going to cut off your money if you don't stop sending people, right? It was, it was about

00:29:02.920 threats. It was about reworking trade deals. It was, we're going to build the wall and Mexico's going to 0.70

00:29:07.060 pay for it. And then is Mexico going to write a check? No, not exactly, but they are going to

00:29:11.860 negotiate things on trade, on tariffs, right? So you've got the threat, you've got build the wall,

00:29:17.520 you've got, do not come here. You've got, we're going to make it really hard. If you do come here,

00:29:21.060 we're going to send you right back. Get tough is the Trump administration plan. And you've got Joe

00:29:26.320 Biden who says, come to the border, surge, come into our country. And then it's politically

00:29:30.640 disadvantageous to him. So he says, okay, well I still, yeah, come, come, but maybe not yet,

00:29:35.200 come in a week or two. And we're going to send more taxpayer money. We're already straining our

00:29:39.240 resources, but we're going to send more money to these countries. Please maybe keep your people 1.00

00:29:43.760 here. What, what do you think is going to happen? So when Trump did it, the numbers went down.

00:29:51.900 Good. When Biden is doing it, the numbers will not go down. The numbers will not go down. One,

00:29:56.700 because the base of the democratic party doesn't want them to, but two, no one has an incentive for

00:30:01.540 them to go down. The foreign nationals are going to pour over the border because they're, they've 1.00

00:30:08.160 been told to by Joe Biden for one. And two, they know that there's going to be a mass amnesty if

00:30:13.000 Democrats can, can grab enough influence. So they want to get here before the amnesty comes through.

00:30:19.640 But what about these countries, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras? Do you, do you think that

00:30:24.880 this government, which is now going to be making a ton of money because of the crisis from the United

00:30:32.340 States? Do you think that they're going to try to minimize the crisis? No, they're going to get a

00:30:39.020 lot of money. I mean, it's, and it's bad for the country because they're losing a lot of people

00:30:42.300 who could be talented. You know, young, ambitious people are now leaving those countries and going

00:30:49.420 to the United States. But it doesn't really matter that much because a lot of these governments,

00:30:53.080 Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala are not particularly strong. And the cartels have a

00:30:58.580 lot of political power there. There's a ton of corruption. So the money is going to dissipate

00:31:02.800 and then the crisis is going to persist. And then we're going to spend more money.

00:31:07.600 Doesn't, doesn't make sense. And what are we doing it for? Because we're told this is how you remedy

00:31:13.300 racism. That's kind of what it all comes down to, isn't it? Racism. Racism this and racism that.

00:31:23.080 I think most pro-immigration arguments center around that. Nevermind that we take more people 1.00

00:31:27.680 by a, by a lot, by a country mile than anywhere else in the world. Nevermind that immigration into 1.00

00:31:33.900 the United States over the last 60 years is the largest movement of people ever in the history of

00:31:38.160 the world, ever recorded. Still, we can never do enough to make up for our awful racism.

00:31:46.840 Pete Buttigieg just made this point. Pete Buttigieg, former mayor of South Bend, his father,

00:31:52.140 actually, one of the most prominent radical theorists in the academy. He was the, a founder

00:31:57.780 and a former president of the International Gramsci Society, referring to Antonio Gramsci,

00:32:02.580 this brilliant Marxist philosopher and communist politician. One of the people really credited with

00:32:09.060 creating political correctness, whom I detail in my book. Buttigieg is now the transportation secretary.

00:32:15.140 And Buttigieg says, you know, we need to really rethink the way we do roads. I'm not just here

00:32:21.700 to fill potholes, baby. Racism is built into our roads and we got to fix it. 0.99

00:32:27.420 We're going to create billions and billions of dollars in economic opportunity, and we have to

00:32:31.680 make sure that happens equitably. So let me talk about two parts of that. The first is where the

00:32:36.080 investments happen. Where are we going to fix the bridge? Where are we going to improve the road?

00:32:38.900 Where are we going to lay the pipe? And we've got to make sure we're doing that equitably,

00:32:41.960 especially knowing that it was often in black and brown communities, that there was either a failure

00:32:46.340 to invest and you didn't have a good road or transit system in a certain neighborhood,

00:32:49.820 or the investment came through in the wrong way, like a highway dividing a black neighborhood in

00:32:55.920 two. There's been a lot of that in the American. And the interstate system, the interstate system

00:33:00.080 was built to keep certain groups in and certain groups out. So it was built on a racist system,

00:33:04.740 correct? Yeah. Often this wasn't just an act of neglect. Often this was a conscious choice. There was

00:33:10.860 racism physically built into some of our highways. Those damn roads. I hate those racist roads, 1.00

00:33:17.120 white supremacist roads. Got to cancel those roads. We got to kick those roads off Twitter. 0.99

00:33:21.720 You know, we got us those top man. It's a, it's, it's one thing for, according to Democrats,

00:33:28.080 half the country to be Nazis and white supremacists, racists, you know, but the roads too, 0.93

00:33:35.140 we got to lose. All right. Got to re, got to remake the whole country then. 0.99

00:33:40.640 What is Buttigieg saying? Why is he saying it? He's saying that the highway system, he's obviously

00:33:50.880 exaggerating immensely, but I want to get, I want to give a good argument for, for the point he's

00:33:59.660 trying to make. He's saying that America is totally racist, right? The whole, the whole country is

00:34:05.680 racist. It's been racist forever until like right now when we're still racist, but we're in a crisis

00:34:09.760 and the future is not going to be racist, but racism, racism, racism. And so we got to fix that.

00:34:14.880 And you know, the roads being a part of America are part of this American racism and they were used,

00:34:19.300 they were built by racists for racists and everything is about race. And therefore we need

00:34:27.540 to do something about it. Now I'm going to grant, I'm not going to grant his point that the roads

00:34:32.280 are racist or something, but I am going to grant his broader observation about human nature.

00:34:39.660 Take race out of it. Race, just like science is the only way that we can now think about the world.

00:34:44.880 Race is the only way that we can think about sin. So if you, if you use the correct language here, 0.92

00:34:52.120 it starts to make more sense. He's saying, look, human nature is broken. People are sinful.

00:34:56.720 sinful. And the people who built the roads are sinful. And there was sinfulness built into this. 0.94

00:35:03.980 And therefore it's not perfect. And therefore there's some injustice involved. And that's why

00:35:09.460 we need to correct that injustice. Okay. That's a, that's a sort of unobjectionable point, right?

00:35:16.880 Of course, all human endeavors are, involve some sin because our free will has been compromised by sin 0.99

00:35:23.320 because Adam had to eat that damn apple, right? Really evade at first, but it's Adam, you know, 0.97

00:35:29.540 okay. I'm not, I don't want to get into the gender politics of it. Okay. We're sticking with race for 0.92

00:35:32.720 now. The problem here is Buddha judge seems to exclude himself from the sinfulness of man, 0.66

00:35:41.580 from this brokenness. The left broadly, when they say everything was racist in the past,

00:35:46.340 but now we're going to redo everything and make it better. They seem to, and you know,

00:35:50.620 they're using this term race as a stand in for sin. They're excluding themselves. They think

00:35:55.880 they're so perfect. So the reason they're going after the roads is because the roads

00:36:02.360 just connect to the whole country. They're right at the heart of the country. It's how we move. It's

00:36:06.840 how we live. So if you can remake even the roads, you can remake the whole country. It's,

00:36:13.720 it's about how ambitious this revolution is going to be. And the reason that their revolutionary

00:36:20.680 radical plans are destined to fail is because they themselves are just as sinful as the people

00:36:26.360 that they castigate. And furthermore, because they don't even recognize that they're talking

00:36:31.400 about sin. They think it's all just about race or something because of this secular religion of,

00:36:36.340 of progressivism. They can only see skin deep and they can only see the physical stuff.

00:36:40.760 They can't really make sense of the metaphysical stuff, which is really what, what is the motivation

00:36:46.140 here. This is the creed that is now being taught at American universities, that America is racist

00:36:53.740 and rotten to the core. University of Oklahoma now is mandating not just diversity and inclusion and

00:37:02.700 equity training. By the way, someone pointed out to me, diversity, inclusion, and equity,

00:37:08.560 the, the letters spelled die. Maybe that tells you something about the country. I don't know,

00:37:15.380 maybe it's just a coincidence. They are mandating not just this diversity, inclusion, and equity

00:37:21.220 training. They're also mandating that students agree with their preferred answers. So you do the

00:37:29.480 training, you take a test. What do you think about this? What's your opinion about that?

00:37:32.320 It's not just that they require you to take the test. You now have to agree with their positions and

00:37:38.320 certain first amendment activists, right? Putative first amendment activists, you might call them

00:37:44.220 free speech absolutists, which is a group. It's a sort of, I like their impulses, but I think they've

00:37:50.680 really gone wrong. And I think they've actually kind of screwed up the battle over political

00:37:53.880 correctness. It's the thesis of my book, Speechless. They're really upset about this. They say

00:37:59.160 schools have no right to mandate a viewpoint. I think that's ridiculous. And I know some really 0.94

00:38:06.580 excitable conservatives, more libertarians, but some excitable conservatives over, over recent years

00:38:11.780 have, have bought into this idea, but it's just preposterous. Of course, schools and universities

00:38:17.980 can mandate a viewpoint. Education is necessarily coercive. That's what you do. They're going to mandate

00:38:25.960 the viewpoint that two plus two equals four, right? Yeah. A good school would mandate the viewpoint that

00:38:32.100 America was founded on Christian principles first in 1620 with the Mayflower and later in 1776,

00:38:41.620 right? That's just, that's history. Schools would mandate that Shakespeare wrote a play about the

00:38:49.420 prince of Denmark, not the prince of Tibet, right? That's, that's just what the book is about. And if the

00:38:55.780 book is about one thing, it's not about some other thing. Universities, education has a mission.

00:39:02.420 It's oriented towards something. William F. Buckley Jr., the most mainstream conservative that

00:39:06.940 ever there was in the 20th century, in God and Man at Yale, his book about what's gone wrong at the

00:39:11.860 universities, explicitly rejected the argument that many conservatives now are mistakenly making.

00:39:18.760 Namely, that schools shouldn't, shouldn't have any points of view. And schools shouldn't

00:39:22.980 coerce any beliefs that we can have academic freedom. He, the subtitle of the book is The

00:39:29.220 Superstitions of Academic Freedom. He calls academic freedom a hoax and it is a hoax. And I think as,

00:39:35.460 I understand that some conservatives are making this argument that schools shouldn't have any

00:39:40.100 viewpoints or, or require any viewpoints because they think that that's the best way to protect

00:39:45.340 against the woke, insane leftist viewpoints that the schools are pushing now. But it's not because

00:39:49.600 the, the argument itself is incoherent and honest conservatives admitted this until about five

00:39:54.560 minutes ago. So it's, it's not going to work in the long run. The longer we've made that argument,

00:39:59.120 the more ground we've lost. We have to make the more difficult argument, more courageous argument,

00:40:04.680 but the much more coherent one that yes, of course, educators are going to have a point of view.

00:40:09.040 And of course, they're going to teach you things, not just how to think, but specifically what to

00:40:13.020 think, because the only way to figure out how to think is to understand what to think.

00:40:16.280 The only way you can start to think about mathematics is to understand that one plus one

00:40:19.940 equals two and two plus two equals four. And you learn a bunch of rudimentary things. And only

00:40:25.080 then do you, can you start thinking about higher calculus or analysis or whatever. You have to learn

00:40:29.860 that the battle of Hastings happened in 1066. You have to learn that the American revolution kicks

00:40:37.060 off in 1775, 1776 before you can start thinking about the broader themes of history. We need to

00:40:43.800 acknowledge that and say, yes, obviously educators can teach us things. They just shouldn't be teaching

00:40:51.860 us this rotten, woke nonsense that is anti-historical, that is deeply un-American, and that makes everyone 1.00

00:40:58.720 ignorant. That's the point. I know it requires courage. It requires a spine to make that argument, 0.99

00:41:03.900 but we got to do it. Sorry. Speaking of good mandates, I've got to get to this. This is a great,

00:41:11.360 a great new law. It's in Tennessee, my wonderful state of Tennessee. All my exes are in Texas,

00:41:17.440 so I hang my hat in Tennessee. A bill is advancing through the Tennessee state legislature that would

00:41:22.860 require abortion facilities to bury or cremate the remains of aborted fetuses. This is an example of

00:41:31.100 a good government mandate. You know, right now, Tennessee code requires that pets and animals

00:41:37.280 be disposed of by burial or cremation, but little human babies who are killed in the womb are not.

00:41:42.780 You can just, just throw them out. Or I guess Planned Parenthood can sell their body parts like 1.00

00:41:47.160 they've been caught on camera doing. So little, little puppies get better treatment than human

00:41:52.120 babies. Even if you don't buy into the argument, even if you don't understand rather that a baby is

00:41:58.080 a baby, that human life exists and grows and matures. And I'm an adult now, but I used to be a

00:42:03.420 toddler and I used to be a baby and I used to be a fetus. It's all the same thing. Surely you would

00:42:09.540 admit that whatever you want to call the little baby in the womb, he's got to be worth as much as a,

00:42:15.440 like a puppy, right? Or a cat. Don't you think? And if so, don't you think they should

00:42:21.080 be entitled to the same sort of dignity? Now, in the really shallow, ossified conservative movement

00:42:29.020 of the last couple of decades, we've been told any government mandate, any regulation is bad.

00:42:34.520 It makes us less free. This kind of government mandate makes us more free.

00:42:41.220 Certain government mandates, such as requiring abortionists to cremate or bury aborted babies,

00:42:49.000 certain mandates like that make us more free. How so? Because it, it acknowledges humanity.

00:43:01.200 The, a better government mandate would be you can't have abortions. That would make us much freer. 1.00

00:43:06.000 It would certainly make the babies freer, the babies who are being killed through abortion.

00:43:10.880 But there are, it's a little tricky to see this with the topic of abortion. So I'll give you a clearer

00:43:16.560 example about how certain mandates can make people more free and how this mistaken conception of

00:43:22.000 liberty has really messed up the conservative movement. Heroin is a very, very addictive drug.

00:43:32.960 People who get hooked on heroin will do anything they can to get more heroin.

00:43:38.940 If you make heroin illegal, some people will still use heroin, but fewer people will. I know that there

00:43:50.400 is a kind of fantasy among some anarchist types or you might say libertarian types. I don't even want

00:43:55.700 to use that word though. I think it's offensive to, to real libertarians that say, well, if you make

00:44:00.240 heroin legal, then no one will use heroin. That's just not true. That's not how it works in practice.

00:44:04.380 It's never how it's worked in practice. If you make heroin illegal, fewer people will use it.

00:44:11.740 If fewer people are using heroin, the country will be freer. Okay. According to the modern liberal

00:44:18.900 ridiculous conception of liberty, being able to shoot up heroin is the height of freedom. 0.95

00:44:24.920 The heroin addict, he's the freest man in the world, but we all know that's a lie. 0.99

00:44:28.520 We know that the heroin addict is a slave. He's a slave to his basest desires and appetites and 0.95

00:44:34.640 passions. He hasn't cultivated his will. He hasn't cultivated his intellect. He cannot use his

00:44:40.920 higher faculties. They are dead and atrophied and he is basically an animal pursuing his lusts and his

00:44:47.040 appetites. Ironically, if you make heroin legal and you say anyone can use heroin if you want to,

00:44:55.260 you are making people less free. Now we all can see this, I think, when it comes to something like

00:45:00.560 heroin, but this is true of other matters as well. A good example of this would be one of the

00:45:06.960 touchstone issues in the culture war, internet pornography. From the very beginning of our

00:45:13.060 country, before the beginning of our country, and for hundreds of years after the beginning of our

00:45:16.620 country, our statesmen understood that there is no free speech protection for obscenity.

00:45:23.560 They understood that obscenity is licentiousness and licentiousness is not the same thing as

00:45:29.920 liberty. It's actually the opposite of liberty. So they either outright banned or heavily regulated

00:45:36.600 obscene materials. You have to show an ID if you want to go buy a Playboy at the magazine stand,

00:45:42.780 if those even still exist. If either Playboy or magazine stand still exist. With the advent of the

00:45:48.720 internet, porn became ubiquitous. During the Clinton administration, there was a direct attempt

00:45:53.180 to try to regulate this stuff. It was totally bipartisan. There was the Communications Decency

00:45:58.040 Act, which is actually where we get the battle over Section 230 in big tech that comes from

00:46:02.400 a law that was in part designed to clean up obscenity on the internet. And there was another

00:46:06.400 law that came out around this time called COPA, the Child Online Protection Act. I detail all of

00:46:10.760 this in my upcoming book speechless, by the way, available now for pre-order. That law was held up

00:46:16.400 in the process. And then eventually over the last 20 years, we've, we've gotten so shallow in our

00:46:21.220 thinking in this country that we, it lost political support and it didn't really go anywhere.

00:46:28.480 You'll notice that a lot of the conservatives clamoring to get rid of porn, online porn, 0.86

00:46:34.340 are young men. The people who write into my show or I see at events who are really the hottest on this

00:46:40.460 topic are Zoomers, are teenage boys and guys in their early twenties. Well, that's weird. Don't

00:46:47.160 you? Shouldn't those be the guy, those guys are probably the ones most likely to look at porn. 1.00

00:46:50.960 Right. That's the point. It's so funny that in our culture, we always hear that young men need to 0.97

00:46:56.900 talk about their feelings. These angry young white men, especially, they need to talk about their

00:47:00.680 feelings. Well, okay. Now they are talking about their feelings. They're saying, get rid of this porn

00:47:03.300 because it's screwing up their lives. And what does the culture tell? Oh, you're a bunch of 0.73

00:47:08.000 incels. You're a bunch of, you're a bunch of losers in your basement or something. 1.00

00:47:14.220 Maybe they are. Maybe that's the problem. Maybe they're recognizing that like heroin, 1.00

00:47:19.480 there is other sort of material like porn that enslaves you to other base desires. And this is

00:47:24.900 really bad. And this does not expand your liberty like some shallow people on the right have said,

00:47:31.360 you know, over the last 20 years, but it actually constricts your liberty. Not,

00:47:36.520 not good stuff. Before we go, I have to mention, actually, this is a great point to mention this

00:47:43.800 on, this, this difference between liberty and licentiousness, this difference between

00:47:47.340 duty and entitlement. Prince Philip, got to pour one out for Prince Philip. I wish he could have

00:47:53.540 lived another 99 years. I'm not going to actually pour out my leftist tears here, but what, what an

00:47:57.360 admirable guy he was. Britain's Prince Philip, the husband to Queen Elizabeth, died. He's now,

00:48:05.640 was 99 years old. He, he lived a good life. But I think the reason that so many people are

00:48:12.140 crestfallen that this guy died is not because, you know, oh gosh, he was cut down in his prime,

00:48:16.920 flipping his vet or something. No, he had a good run. We all die eventually, despite the neurotic

00:48:21.800 hysteria of people wearing 17 masks, even though they're 30 years old and perfectly healthy.

00:48:28.800 Prince Philip epitomized an age and an attitude that is gone. He's sort of the anti-Meghan Markle.

00:48:38.140 They're, they're polar opposites in the royal family. He is the representative of what has been called

00:48:43.300 the greatest generation. And she is a representative, sadly, of millennials. I'm sorry to admit. 0.96

00:48:49.800 This was a guy who endured a lot of hardship. He was born in Corfu. His family was deposed. They had

00:48:58.160 to escape under threat of death. Much of his family was killed in Russia. He had, his mother was a

00:49:08.060 schizophrenic. He endured terrible, terrible hardship. He was schooled at a, basically a Spartan academy 0.56

00:49:14.740 where he had to take cold showers and run around barefoot. He comes into Britain. And as a man 0.71

00:49:21.140 without a state, he didn't have a state. He was a stateless person. He comes in, becomes an adopted 0.99

00:49:25.520 Brit. He didn't even have a last name because he was part of a royal family. He marries Queen Elizabeth

00:49:31.120 and his entire life is about duty and service because that is a good thing to do. And that is what

00:49:38.340 is expected of people. And that is dignified. And that actually speaks to an exalted freedom.

00:49:43.680 He did not indulge his own appetites. Really, very, very few stories, if any, of Prince Philip just

00:49:49.380 indulging himself in his own base desires. It was all about service and what ought to be done.

00:49:56.560 And he did it very admirably. And I think a lot of people fear that that generation is passing

00:50:04.320 away. Elizabeth still demonstrates that. Will we be able to demonstrate that afterward? Or are we all

00:50:11.120 going to be a bunch of hysterical little ninnies running around, fearing death, fearing everything, 0.96

00:50:17.220 fearing our own shadow, crying about what we're entitled to, crying about all the ways that we've

00:50:22.720 been slighted? Or are we going to stand up? Stop indulging that lowest aspect of our character

00:50:29.600 and walk with a bit of dignity and true freedom. Hope we can. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the
