The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 777 - We Were Right About Everything

00:00:00.200 Thousands of Dr. Fauci's emails have been obtained through a simple Freedom of Information Act

00:00:05.380 request, and it turns out not only were we right about everything, but Dr. Fauci very likely knew

00:00:13.220 that we were right about everything, even though he said that we weren't. The masks, the Wuhan 0.54

00:00:17.840 Institute of Virology, so much more. A New York accounting program prohibits white students from

00:00:22.700 applying. A serious Democrat launches a campaign against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for 2022.

00:00:28.280 And Major League Baseball wants you to know that it is super duper gay. I'm Michael Knowles. This is 0.87

00:00:33.700 The Michael Knowles Show. Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment from yesterday is from OSU

00:00:46.040 Formulator, with the four and the eight. That's a clever and confusing name. Who says,

00:00:52.220 if you can find an accountant, then you ain't black. Former Vice President Zhao Biden rewriting

00:00:59.780 it, because he is kind of in the pocket of China. And yes, that accountant line, one of the many,

00:01:05.940 one of the many offensive comments he's made about black people in his long career,

00:01:10.380 but it won't hurt him at all because of the way racial politics shakes out. That's just the way

00:01:14.700 it is. You got to be prepared for it. And if you want to be prepared, I strongly recommend you check

00:01:18.420 out ReadyWise. Now is a better time than ever to be prepared with long-term nutritional food options.

00:02:25.960 have to just rename this show We Were Right About Everything. We Were Right About Everything

00:02:31.500 Part 1. We talked about that last week. That was this great deal of evidence that the experts

00:02:36.420 were wrong. A whole slate of new studies take them with a grain of salt, but the new studies

00:02:40.720 contradict. The old studies show that the conservatives seem to have been right.

00:02:43.940 Your uneducated, rude, conservative uncle actually was more correct about this virus

00:02:49.760 than all the geniuses in the lab coats. Well, this new treasure trove of Dr. Fauci's emails

00:02:54.520 is showing that as well. And these emails, it's not as though they were leaked. It's not really from

00:03:00.480 some secret source. It's not as though they were declassified. It was just simple Freedom of

00:03:05.020 Information Act request. Let's just go through very quickly because there's going to be a ton of

00:03:09.580 disinformation about this today. The media are going to try to downplay Fauci's emails.

00:03:15.300 Fauci admitting that we were right, most importantly, about the masks. Now, we knew this

00:03:21.580 because Dr. Fauci said in a TV interview a year ago, a little more than a year ago,

00:03:26.400 do not wear the masks. The masks are dumb. They don't work. Stop wearing the masks. 1.00

00:03:30.520 Right? I'm paraphrasing only slightly. And then he changed his views two seconds later

00:03:34.580 and told everyone we had to wear the masks. Well, here's what Fauci wrote in an email to

00:03:39.440 apparently a friend of his.

00:03:42.920 Sylvia, masks are really for infected people to prevent them from spreading infection to people

00:03:49.980 who are not infected rather than protecting uninfected people from acquiring infection.

00:03:57.280 The typical mask you buy in that this is very important. Pay attention to the slide.

00:04:00.620 The typical mask you buy in the drugstore is not really effective in keeping out virus,

00:04:08.140 which is small enough to pass through the material. It might, however, provide some slight

00:04:14.660 benefit in keep out gross droplets if someone coughs or sneezes on you. I do not recommend that

00:04:23.580 you wear a mask, particularly since you are going to a very low risk location. There are typos. I

00:04:31.200 don't really blame him for the typos. People have a lot of those in emails, but I'm reading verbatim

00:04:35.460 because I don't want to be accused of spreading misinformation. Now we know that Fauci doesn't think

00:04:41.360 the masks really matter when you're trying to protect yourself because Dr. Fauci has been caught

00:04:45.840 many times when he thought the cameras weren't on him, not wearing the mask. Notably,

00:04:49.860 he wore the mask when he was in the baseball stadium dribbling the first pitch and he was

00:04:54.580 at least 60 feet away from anybody at that point. He had the mask on for a big show. Then he shows up

00:04:59.700 to the stands with his friends whom he didn't live with and he had the mask down. He wasn't even

00:05:03.380 eating. He just had the mask down because he knows that they don't do very much. There is a response

00:05:08.100 to this that the left is going to push. They're going to say, but we already knew this, Michael.

00:05:12.420 We knew the masks are to protect other people, not to protect you, right? To protect people from

00:05:18.700 you, right? Well, then as Dr. Fauci is saying, only people who have the virus should be wearing

00:05:25.860 the mask, right? To protect other people. But the left will say, Michael, what about asymptomatic

00:05:31.500 spread? So first of all, and this is something else we're learning more and more from these emails,

00:05:35.580 the CDC says that asymptomatic spread is unlikely to contribute to the spread of the virus. The CDC right

00:05:41.880 now, if you go to the CDC's website, article published April, 2021 says, quote,

00:05:46.140 In conclusion, our study suggests that asymptomatic cases are unlikely to contribute

00:05:51.020 substantially to the spread of COVID-19. COVID-19 cases should be detected and managed early to

00:05:56.680 quarantine close contacts immediately and prevent pre-symptomatic transmissions. Okay. But it's

00:06:00.520 unlikely to contribute to the spread of the virus. Dr. Fauci knows this in his emails as well.

00:06:06.260 Dr. Fauci is saying, yeah, this is not really going to be the primary mode of transmission of the

00:06:10.780 virus. Okay. Even, even if it were, even if asymptomatic spread were a big issue here,

00:06:16.580 if Dr. Fauci thought that were a problem, he would tell this woman to wear her mask, 0.98

00:06:21.660 right? You see, you can't, you can't simultaneously argue that, well, Michael, Dr. Fauci's advice makes

00:06:28.480 perfect sense because really, you know, we're just talking about protecting people from, from

00:06:32.900 yourself by putting the mask on and then argue that it was asymptomatic spread. And then argue that Dr.

00:06:38.120 Fauci knew all of this when he told this woman not to wear it, because even if he's telling her not

00:06:42.560 to wear it, because it doesn't matter to protect herself, surely she, she should be protecting other

00:06:46.540 people. And so if he really thought this were effective, even for asymptomatic spread, he would

00:06:50.140 tell her to, to put it on herself, but he didn't. He didn't. It was always a political tool. That's how he

00:06:58.100 reversed himself so quickly. And that's why all of these other geniuses in the lab coats did too.

00:07:03.040 Now, your rube uneducated uncle who told you the masks are dumb and also me and also all of you, 0.97

00:07:11.980 we were more correct than all the experts and all the genius politicians. Next email. 0.98

00:07:18.360 What about the U.S. funding for the research? We were told from the very beginning, there's no way

00:07:22.580 the federal government, Dr. Fauci had nothing to do with funding this gain of function research

00:07:28.160 abroad. Well, we've got an email here from the NIAID principal deputy director. So Dr. Fauci is the

00:07:35.520 big honcho over there. This guy's the principal deputy director, Hugh Auschenkloss, who responded

00:07:41.040 to an email from Dr. Fauci. Dr. Fauci had told him, he said, it's essential that we speak today.

00:07:46.000 You've got to speak today about a paper regarding, quote, experiments performed before the gain of

00:07:50.840 function pause. So Auschenkloss writes to Fauci, the paper you sent me says the experiments were performed

00:07:56.740 before the gain of function pause, but since have been reviewed and approved by NIH. Not sure what

00:08:02.520 that means since Emily, this other lady there, is sure that no coronavirus work has gone through the

00:08:07.940 P3 framework. She will try to determine if we have any distant ties to this work abroad. So a lot of

00:08:12.920 technical jargon there, but you get the point in the last sentence. We're going to try very hard to

00:08:17.120 make sure that we're not tied to this work abroad. And then Dr. Fauci is clearly worried about this too

00:08:21.440 because he responds and says, it's essential that we speak this AM. Keep your cell phone on. And then

00:08:26.440 Auschenkloss later thanks Dr. Fauci for denying the possibility that the virus started in the lab.

00:08:32.780 Well, why is Auschenkloss happy that Fauci would deny this possibility? He's happy that Fauci shuts

00:08:37.460 this down because then Auschenkloss and Fauci himself could be held liable for in any way funding

00:08:43.540 this kind of research. And you know, Rand Paul grilled Dr. Fauci about this the other day. Fauci cleverly

00:08:48.640 tried to deny it, but didn't quite deny it. Now, Rand Paul is pointing out that Fauci very likely

00:08:54.980 perjured himself. So there, on the question of US funding of this research, we were right.

00:08:59.500 The experts were wrong. Next email. How about the question of whether or not this virus was totally

00:09:05.360 just straight from nature, totally from bats, or whether there was some engineered, manufactured

00:09:10.940 component of it? We were told from the very beginning, there's no way the Fauci's of the world

00:09:16.240 say there's no way this was totally from nature. Get it out of your mind that this was in any way

00:09:20.180 manufactured. And everybody with two brain cells to rub together said, you know, it looks like

00:09:24.780 there's a chance maybe humans and scientists in China had something to do with the way this virus

00:09:30.800 was beefed up. Looks like we were right about that too, at least about the possibility. A researcher

00:09:36.740 wrote to Dr. Fauci and said, quote, the unusual features of the virus make up a really small part of

00:09:42.220 the genome, less than 0.1%. So one has to look really closely at all the sequences to see that some

00:09:47.940 of the features potentially look engineered. Again, I'm not, I'm not saying it's definite and

00:09:53.360 the Chinese scientists made this thing out of whole cloth. We're not saying that at all. What

00:09:56.860 we're saying is that, I guess as a scientific matter, but also just as a common sense political

00:10:02.940 matter, if this kind of a virus is coming out right by this lab that's working on these, these sorts of

00:10:08.240 viruses, and we know that scientists have been conducting this kind of research that beefs up

00:10:12.660 natural viruses, it stands to reason that there's a good chance that, that some of this was

00:10:17.300 engineered. And this, this scientist is writing this in to Dr. Fauci and Fauci didn't dismiss it

00:10:23.100 out of hand. He responded and said he looked forward to a phone call. This is something else

00:10:26.620 you're seeing in a lot of the Fauci emails. A lot of this is call me, call me, call me. It's not,

00:10:31.640 hey, write this out. Hey, spell this out to me because we can see what's in writing. Never send an

00:10:36.880 email that you don't want published on the front page of the New York Times, but hey, give me a phone

00:10:40.700 call means we got to talk about this, but I don't want there to be a record. Here's another email from Dr.

00:10:46.640 Fauci. And this I think gets to the heart of the political matter here. Okay. There was always

00:10:52.600 this bizarre double standard, only bizarre when you don't realize the standards that the society

00:10:58.860 is governed under. The marijuana dispensary in Los Angeles, that's an essential service. That's

00:11:03.640 got to stay open. The church, not so much. We got to keep that shut down. Why? Does COVID only

00:11:09.620 spreads at churches? It doesn't spread at the marijuana dispensaries? No, it's just that the,

00:11:14.800 the liberal establishment values marijuana dispensaries, increasingly so, as we'll see

00:11:19.160 later on. And it doesn't value churches. It actually despises churches and wants to keep

00:11:23.740 them shut down. So Dr. Fauci participated in this too. On Thursday, March 5th, he wrote an email

00:11:28.420 to an associate of his. He said, Josh, you should counsel the rabbi to counsel, to cancel the religious 0.96

00:11:36.820 services on, and he gives the date, which has been redacted. So March 5th, 2020, you've got to tell

00:11:42.220 this rabbi stop holding his religious services. But then four days later, he said it was perfectly 0.93

00:11:47.260 fine to hold campaign events and even to hold some events on cruise ships. Why is that? The

00:11:56.060 virus doesn't spread at campaign events, but it does at religious services? No. What Fauci is saying

00:12:01.140 in his role as a politician is that we don't need churches open. Frankly, we might as well keep them

00:12:06.600 shut down forever. We don't need synagogues open, but we do need the political religious rituals of 1.00

00:12:12.820 liberalism. And that's the way this goes. From the beginning, my big takeaway from this email is not

00:12:17.680 that Fauci is some super duper evil mastermind. There's a lot of emails here. If you looked at

00:12:22.160 any of anybody's emails, surely you could find ways to make people look bad. But I'm really trying here

00:12:27.680 not to take things out of context. I'm trying to give him as much of the benefit of the doubt as

00:12:31.240 possible. And what I'm seeing from this email time and time again is that Fauci prioritized

00:12:35.740 political considerations and flacking for his political associates over presenting the scientific

00:12:42.800 facts as clearly as he sees them. And this should stand as no surprise because Dr. Fauci is not just

00:12:48.700 a scientist. Dr. Fauci is a politician. He works in public health. Public means political. He gets

00:12:53.700 his paycheck from the federal government. Presidents come and go. Dr. Fauci remains. That has been the

00:12:59.220 case from the very beginning, which also hate to say we told you so we called it from the top,

00:13:03.780 proven right again. I hate it. I hate being so right because politically they still have

00:13:09.400 all of the power. By the way, if you want to get back a little bit of your power,

00:14:24.880 the capital S trademark over the E. The science changes, it comes and goes, and people who have

00:14:31.920 common sense have been able to know certain things about the coronavirus epidemic and lockdowns before

00:14:37.580 the geniuses in the lab coats would admit it. What we're seeing is that the experts believe that some

00:14:43.920 things are good and some things are bad. And that's not exactly a scientific discovery. That's a

00:14:50.140 political and a moral and a religious stance and consideration and regime. You see this in

00:14:59.660 all sorts of politics. In New York right now, I'll give you an example. There is an accounting program

00:15:05.040 in New York for promising students who want to get better at accounting. So Campus Reform's Ben

00:15:11.980 Zeisloft, who also writes for the Daily Wire, just put this report out about the career opportunities

00:15:17.600 in the accounting profession program. This is sponsored by the New York State Society of CPAs,

00:15:23.020 Certified Public Accountants, and the Moynihan Scholarship Fund. And it is meant for 250 promising

00:15:28.640 high school students. And if you want to apply to that, you can so long as you're black or Hispanic 0.65

00:15:34.700 or Asian. I think Asians are allowed to apply. Not totally sure. The one thing I do know is if you're 1.00

00:15:40.600 white, you're not allowed to apply. This is a program designed to give people a leg up in accounting,

00:15:46.440 but white people are not permitted to apply because we have a system of legal racism in this

00:15:52.260 country. Just like the left says, there is systemic racism and that systemic racism, the only legal

00:16:01.380 racism in this country is against white people and to some degree Asian people. And it's most notable 0.54

00:16:07.980 in affirmative action, but you see it in places like this as well. Now this is hosted by a bunch of

00:16:14.540 very prominent institutes and colleges in New York. Ithaca College, Medgar Evers College,

00:16:20.140 Rochester Institute of Technology, RIT, Siena College, St. John's University, SUNY New Paltz,

00:16:25.360 SUNY Oswego. These are state universities too. The University of Buffalo and Westchester

00:16:29.600 Community College, not too far from where I grew up. This is your taxpayer dollars

00:16:35.660 going toward hosting an event that's being done in association with these other institutes that will

00:16:43.340 not permit white people in. Why? Because we are now living in a regime that says it's bad to give

00:16:50.940 the same opportunities to white people as there are to black people and Hispanic people and Asian

00:16:55.660 people. And they'll tell you this if you push them hard enough. They'll say, well, yeah, because

00:17:01.520 black people have been disadvantaged. Where it gets a little strange, however, is I do see the

00:17:08.880 argument. You say, look, certain people came here on the Mayflower. Certain people came here on slave

00:17:14.060 ships. And we recognize that there is a sort of force to history. And because of that, we're trying

00:17:19.180 to right historical wrongs. I'm not saying I agree with that argument, but I at least understand it.

00:17:24.700 Black people do constitute, the black descendants of slaves does constitute a sort of special case in the

00:17:31.400 United States. But what about the immigrants? Why are we treating people who either came here 0.99

00:17:38.600 voluntarily or are descended from people who came here voluntarily the same way that we're treating

00:17:44.100 people who came here or whose ancestors came here on slave ships? Why are we pretending that 0.68

00:17:51.140 immigrants are oppressed? Immigrants chose to come here. And they chose to come here largely to give 1.00

00:17:56.100 their progeny a better life. Why are we pretending that they're oppressed? That's insane. If this is

00:18:03.500 such an oppressive place, don't come here. If the immigrants thought this was a terribly oppressive

00:18:07.880 place, they wouldn't have come here. But they did. So I could almost understand the argument if you

00:18:13.740 said this is only for black people. It's still, again, I'm not saying I agree with it. I'm just 1.00

00:18:17.500 saying I understand it. But now we're saying, okay, and Hispanics too. Hispanics get a leg up and white 0.98

00:18:22.960 people aren't allowed to apply. Why? They came here voluntarily. And rather their ancestors came 1.00

00:18:27.640 here voluntarily. And thousands of them are coming here voluntarily every single day, pouring illegally

00:18:31.940 across the border. Why are we pretending that America has been so unjust and bigoted toward these

00:18:37.840 people, the people who are begging, pleading to come here and breaking our laws to do it very often?

00:18:43.300 That is not particularly coherent unless you're living in a racist regime that says white people bad,

00:18:50.400 other people good. White people bad, to a lesser degree Asian people bad, everyone else good. 0.98

00:18:56.180 That is the racial regime that we're living under. And it's no surprise that people think that race 0.98

00:19:00.640 relations are getting worse and worse. There's a poll out now from Rasmussen Reports, just came out on

00:19:06.040 Tuesday. It showed that people believe that under the Biden administration, race relations are getting

00:19:10.600 worse in the United States. A plurality of people, 39% say race relations are worse, followed by 28% who

00:19:17.120 believe race relations are better, than another 28% who say that they're about the same, and 5% who

00:19:21.860 remain unsure. As you might not be surprised to hear, it breaks down largely along party lines.

00:19:28.820 Although the fact that the majority of people, or rather the plurality of people say that it's gotten

00:19:33.180 worse, shows that it's not purely party lines. Republicans are more likely to say they've worsened,

00:19:39.340 65% to Democrats, 16%. And what you're going to hear is a response to the survey as well.

00:19:44.880 Michael, black people say that race relations have gotten better. And that's only sort of true. 1.00

00:19:50.920 Actually, the plurality of black people surveyed here, 36% say that race relations are about the

00:19:57.700 same under Joe Biden as they are under Donald Trump. And 34% say they're better and 24% say

00:20:02.360 they're worse. So the plurality are saying it's about the same, which is an indictment of Joe Biden.

00:20:09.760 Don't forget, Joe Biden launched his presidential campaign. The first statements of the first

00:20:15.580 presidential ad that he launched during the primaries began with the lie that Donald Trump

00:20:20.660 called white supremacists and neo-Nazis very fine people in Charlottesville. That did not happen.

00:20:25.360 Lock that away with the Easter bunny and the tooth fairy. It's just not true.

00:20:28.980 But that's what Biden began his campaign on. So he's saying Donald Trump basically is working for

00:20:33.660 the KKK. Donald Trump is an evil white supremacist, racist, neo-Nazi president. So if you elect me, 1.00

00:20:39.860 things are going to get better. The very fact that the plurality of black respondents to this survey 1.00

00:20:45.880 say that they haven't gotten better is an indictment of Joe Biden. He's no worse than that awful neo-Nazi 1.00

00:20:51.260 white. He's no better rather than that evil neo-Nazi white supremacist president, Donald Trump, 1.00

00:20:57.860 which is, I think, spreading throughout all of our political discourse. You see, we use this language 0.99

00:21:07.060 of racism to describe basically every single issue. And it's not just the left doing it. The right does

00:21:14.080 it as well. Tucker the other night on his show referred to this new vaccine issue, the idea of

00:21:19.940 vaccine passports that you're going to have to prove, depending on where you go, that you've been

00:21:24.280 vaccinated. He's referred to this as medical Jim Crow. Take a listen. Pretty much everybody agreed 1.00

00:21:31.340 that segregation was the worst thing this country ever did, forcing certain categories of citizens

00:21:37.660 into separate, lesser accommodations, barring them from public places, treating them like lepers or 0.79

00:21:43.400 untouchables. That was completely immoral and wrong. We were told that a lot, and most of us strongly

00:21:49.060 agreed. It was wrong. So imagine our confusion today looking out across the country. The very

00:21:56.000 same people, literally the very same, who just the other day told us that segregation was immoral

00:22:01.020 are now enforcing segregation. Should we be surprised? Probably not, but we still are. Just

00:22:07.480 this morning, the New York Times informed us that unless you can prove you have taken the injection

00:22:11.680 that the Democratic Party demands you take, you are no longer permitted in bars, comedy clubs,

00:22:16.960 even some dance competitions in the state of New York. You're too dirty to appear in public. 0.97

00:22:22.320 You're not welcome near normal people. Medical Jim Crow has come to America. If we still had 1.00

00:22:26.540 water fountains, the unvaccinated would have separate ones. Medical Jim Crow has come to 1.00

00:22:32.040 America. Oh, Tucker's being raked over the coals for this. He's being right. He was trending on Twitter.

00:22:37.500 They're saying this is such a ridiculous comparison. Well, maybe it is a ridiculous comparison, 0.98

00:22:41.600 but Tucker was smart to make it. I think Tucker was right even to make it because the only language 0.97

00:22:47.820 that we can use in this country anymore to have any sort of moral or ethical discourse

00:22:51.480 is the language of race. We used to possess a broader framework to do that, but that's been

00:22:58.060 narrowed down. I talk about this in my upcoming book, Speechless, Controlling Roads, Controlling

00:23:00.920 Minds, available now for pre-order. Thanks to everyone who's pre-ordered, by the way. Pre-orders are

00:23:04.280 through the roof. So if you want to get yours, make sure you order right now. Tucker says,

00:23:08.960 there was a time in this country where we believed that Jim Crow was the worst thing that ever

00:23:12.460 happened in this country. I don't think Jim Crow was the worst thing that ever happened in this

00:23:17.380 country. I think it was bad. I'm not saying it was good. Was Jim Crow, was the system of racial 0.86

00:23:24.500 intimidation in this country worse than slavery? I don't think it was worse than slavery. Was it

00:23:32.600 worse than killing a million babies a year through abortion? No, I don't think it was worse. It was bad,

00:23:37.040 but there are plenty of bad things. But now we can, the only way that we can talk about bad things

00:23:41.660 is to call them racist, right? To call them white supremacists. So what Tucker's saying is, okay,

00:23:46.620 if that is the moral language that we have, if that is the only frame of reference for people

00:23:51.900 who are increasingly living in an atrophied religious and philosophical world, then I'm

00:23:59.500 going to use that to describe the, how many times have the Democrats compared something

00:24:04.140 Republicans do to Jim Crow? They do it. They say whenever we have a voter integrity bill,

00:24:08.020 they say it's Jim Crow. Whenever we say that black people can in fact get IDs, it's all,

00:24:12.980 it's Jim Crow. Whenever Donald Trump had a cheese sandwich, oh, it's Jim Crow. I don't know. How's 0.96

00:24:17.300 Jim Crow? So Tucker's realizing this, that that's the only moral language that we have. And so he's

00:24:22.920 using it because when we atrophy our ability to have moral discourse, this actually ties into the

00:24:29.480 Fauci thing. We hand all of that decision-making power over to these unaccountable genius experts

00:24:37.900 who it turns out are not particularly wise or thoughtful themselves. Ben is going to be talking

00:24:44.060 about this on his show today. It's called We Didn't Start the Fire. It's going to be terrific.

00:24:48.680 Go check that out. Also, you know, Ben's got a book coming up. And so this is a very important book

00:24:53.460 to order immediately after you order Speechless Controlling Words, Controlling Lines,

00:24:57.480 Bill now for pre-order. Do I get, we can get the ding during his ad? Okay, that's fine.

00:25:02.400 Ben's book is called The Authoritarian Moment. I highly recommend you get it because that will

00:25:05.620 be my campaign slogan someday. You can pre-order it at Amazon, Barnes and Noble,

00:25:09.000 or any other major bookseller. We'll be right back with a lot more.

00:25:12.220 Every bad thing that the left, and frankly, even to some degree the right, describes in this country

00:25:32.280 has got to be brought back to race because it's the only thing that we can say is totally bad.

00:25:37.520 And you hear everything is either racist or fascist. Joy Behar showed this the other day on

00:25:44.900 The View when she couldn't quite explain why she opposes what the Republicans are up to right now.

00:25:50.340 So she said, well, the reason, the thing they're trying to get after, it's not voter integrity.

00:25:54.780 It's not protecting our rule of law. It's not defending a million babies a year from being

00:25:58.500 killed through abortion. It's not protecting our Second Amendment rights. It's not protecting our 0.99

00:26:01.420 first. It's not this, that, that. They want fascism.

00:26:05.000 The same people who would keep us from, uh, incidents, knowing about incidents like what

00:26:10.700 happened in Tulsa are the same people who would like to keep us from knowing what happened exactly

00:26:15.920 at the Capitol insurrection on January 6th, 2021. I'm looking at you, Mitch McConnell.

00:26:22.980 I'm looking at you and Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley and Marjorie Taylor Greene and all

00:26:31.040 those people. They would like to keep it under wraps. Why, why is that? You have to ask yourself

00:26:36.640 that question. You know, this is not just an American problem. This type of taking over the

00:26:42.660 country so that the fascists can rule is happening in a lot of places. Hungary, for example, Victor

00:26:48.500 Orban. I was just listening to a very intelligent guy talk about this and how Victor Orban took a

00:26:54.520 democratic society in Hungary and turned it into a fascist government the same way that they are

00:27:00.400 trying to do it here. Voter suppression, stacking the courts with crony judges, all sorts of things

00:27:08.040 like that. Just be aware we are losing our country. Victor Orban, he's the big boogeyman. He's the leader

00:27:15.860 of Hungary. We actually played him on the show yesterday. Victor Orban's Hungary is much more

00:27:20.780 democratic than the United States is right now. I hate to say it. It's sad, but it's true.

00:27:28.140 What is Joy Bayer? She doesn't make any, she doesn't make very many specific accusations because 1.00

00:27:32.800 she doesn't have them. She said this country, the Republicans are pushing for fascist rule by

00:27:38.140 stacking the court with judges, but they're not. I know the left is trying to redefine this term

00:27:44.420 court packing, but the, the conservatives are, have not broken a single law. We're totally following

00:27:50.400 the rule of law in the way that conservatives have appointed judges. The only people who want to

00:27:54.940 change the law are the Democrats through court packing, which is not replacing judges who have

00:28:01.380 retired or died. It's adding more judges to the court, increasing the number of judges.

00:28:07.160 So the thing she's, thinks she's accusing the Republicans of doing, it's only the Democrats who

00:28:11.220 are doing that. Victor Orban, he's a fascist leader because why? Because he was elected by the people,

00:28:17.400 okay? Because he really, the reason, the thing they hate about Orban is that he, he opposes increasing

00:28:24.500 immigration. He's one of the few Western leaders that actually has the spine to stand up against

00:28:28.720 mass migration. Well, guess what? The majority of Hungarians don't want more immigration. And so he's

00:28:35.780 following their wishes and reducing immigration. The same thing is true in the United States. The 0.54

00:28:40.120 majority of Americans, according to multiple surveys, want to drastically reduce immigration,

00:28:45.360 not just illegal immigration, but legal immigration too. But our leaders refuse to listen to them.

00:28:51.120 Sounds to me like Victor Orban's Hungary is much more democratic on that very important issue than

00:28:56.320 the United States is under the liberal regime. It's fascist. What does fascist mean? George Orwell 0.92

00:29:02.120 famously described fascism as something I don't like, right? That's, that's all fascism really means

00:29:08.760 anymore. There is a definition of fascism. It's a little vague, but, but a Mussolini and the

00:29:15.580 philosopher Giovanni Gentile described this in an essay, very little read essay, which I do quote

00:29:22.200 and explain it like in my upcoming books, speechless, controlling, words, controlling, minds,

00:29:24.800 film, and our free order. So you can find that definition there, but in, in common parlance, the only,

00:29:29.900 the only meaning of fascism is something that I don't like. Everything has to be compared

00:29:34.760 to, to, to the racism of America or to the sort of vague charges of racism against Mussolini or

00:29:43.920 Adolf Hitler. That's the only way that we can have a moral framework here. Now speaking of, I mean, 0.57

00:29:50.240 and this is a bad thing, by the way. I mean, this is, this is why when you adopt stupid political 1.00

00:29:56.560 premises, when you say things like you can't legislate morality, and it's not just the left who 0.99

00:30:00.280 says that, it's also the right that has been tricked into adopting that language. When you say that,

00:30:04.040 you are ceding the, the important sort of discourse that, that is required for self-government, for,

00:30:11.100 for Republican politics. When you say things like, you do you, just don't make me pay for it. You're

00:30:16.500 ceding that kind of moral discourse. When you say, we have a firm separation of church and state,

00:30:20.100 something that has never been true anywhere in history. You are ceding, you're conceding that

00:30:23.960 kind of language of moral discourse. And so then the only way that you can, can actually discuss the

00:30:29.780 issues that are involved in politics, right? Any kind of law, all of which refer to the moral law,

00:30:34.900 you, you have to have recourse to these very shallow things. At this point, just talking about

00:30:38.420 racism. Now, speaking of these fascist Republicans, one guy who gets it, and we've been giving him a lot

00:30:43.080 of credit on this show, is Ron DeSantis. He's been doing a really, really great job in Florida.

00:30:47.540 Now he faces a challenge. He's got a challenge from the agricultural commissioner, Nikki Freed,

00:30:55.100 who has announced a run against him. She's the, I guess, the most prominent Democrat right now

00:30:59.460 in the state of Florida. And you think, okay, wait, so Ron DeSantis, best governor in the country,

00:31:04.380 is worried about the agricultural commissioner? No way, except when Ron DeSantis responded to this

00:31:10.960 yesterday, he came out very, very forcefully as though he views this woman really as something of a

00:31:16.780 threat. You know, Nikki Freed has done nothing in office. She does nothing. All she does is emote 1.00

00:31:24.000 on social media, virtue signal to small dollar donors in California and New York. She put her

00:31:31.100 face, spent millions of dollars to put her face on every gas pump across this state purely to boost 1.00

00:31:39.100 her own image at your expense as a taxpayer. She's a lockdown lobbyist. She would have had our kids 1.00

00:31:46.580 locked out of school the whole year. She would have had this business shuttered for the whole year.

00:31:51.420 They would be out of business if Freed were governor. So she's opposed us at every turn.

00:31:57.360 All the good stuff we've been able to accomplish for Florida, she opposes it. And I've done more,

00:32:03.880 I think, in my first week as governor than she's done in her entire time as agriculture commissioner.

00:32:08.320 All right. Coming out very strong against Nikki Freed in a sort of Trumpian way. And we've seen

00:32:15.160 this increasingly from Governor DeSantis, which I think is a perfectly smart strategy. Donald Trump

00:32:21.720 had and I think continues to have the support of the Republican Party. And so DeSantis is channeling

00:32:27.600 that. But why is he coming out so strongly against her? Who cares? This agricultural commissioner. First

00:32:31.800 of all, it is a somewhat powerful office in Florida. You wouldn't necessarily think it is,

00:32:38.320 but it is. And because that's the one that the Democrats managed to hold on to. And because

00:32:42.480 Ron DeSantis wants to be the president. He wants to be the nominee in 2024. But he knows that he's

00:32:48.720 going to have a very difficult time becoming the nominee in 2024 if he doesn't win re-election in 2022.

00:32:54.440 So Ron DeSantis, before he deals with 2024, is going to have to deal with a serious election. And

00:32:59.780 that could determine his fate. This is why people have said, Michael, they're GOP. We've just got

00:33:04.160 to all rally around one candidate right now. And they've thrown out a few names of which candidates

00:33:08.360 we should all rally around. And DeSantis is certainly one of them. They say, look, I think

00:33:13.000 DeSantis is doing a great job. But there's a long time between 2021 and 2024. And we've got to see more

00:33:20.620 from people and we got to make sure they can go the distance. And so one of the big tests for Ron

00:33:24.640 DeSantis is going to be the 2022 election. And there's a chance that he doesn't get it. You

00:33:33.020 know, Florida is still a swing state. It's Republican, but it could still flip. It's up in

00:33:38.100 the air. And there's this added problem that more and more people are moving to Florida from California

00:33:44.860 and from New York. We did not move to Florida. Ben moved to Florida, right? And the rest of our

00:33:49.780 company moved to Tennessee. And a lot of other people are moving to Texas. That's pretty much,

00:33:54.520 those are the three places that people are going. They're fleeing the coastal cities that have an

00:33:58.480 insane tax burden, an insane regulatory state, and insane lockdown rules. And they're going to Texas,

00:34:04.940 Tennessee, and California. And the fear is that they're going to bring their voting predilections

00:34:08.440 with them. Now, when I came into Tennessee, I met a woman at a store. I was just looking at

00:34:13.560 buying a house. And I flew in from California when we knew the company was going to move. And she said,

00:34:18.060 you're not from here, are you? I said, oh, no, I'm not. She goes, you're from California,

00:34:22.000 aren't you? I said, yeah, I am. Sorry to say, I am. She goes, well, you better not California,

00:34:26.540 my Tennessee. And I pointed out to her. I said, listen, lady, you don't need to be worried about

00:34:31.520 me. There are people you got to be worried about. But this is the hope. And DeSantis addressed this

00:34:38.480 directly, actually, just a couple of weeks ago. DeSantis said that, yes, a lot of people moving in from

00:34:45.340 the coasts. But the kind of people who are moving in are Republicans.

00:34:50.120 So it's interesting with Florida, like the media at the beginning of this said, Florida's bad.

00:34:54.580 And I think it's because they wanted to damage Trump in Florida. They wanted to damage me.

00:34:57.980 So they just kept saying it was bad, even though the facts didn't say. Like, literally,

00:35:01.180 last April, they're saying Florida's doing worse than New York. New York was like 10 times worse.

00:35:05.400 And so I think what it did is the people that buy those phony narratives for these media,

00:35:10.140 they probably aren't coming to Florida. But most people see through it. But the people that see

00:35:15.740 through it, they think like us. And so I think a lot of these people are coming. I think they're

00:35:20.240 registering as Republicans, overwhelming. And I also have come across a lot of people

00:35:24.180 who, quite frankly, were Democrats. The lockdowns turn them into Republicans because they say,

00:35:29.640 I cannot fathom. People say I was a Democrat because of education and I'm in California and

00:35:35.520 they're locking my kids out of school. I come to Florida. They're in school. People are free.

00:35:40.200 People are happy. So I think this whole process has caused some people to reevaluate some of their

00:35:45.720 prior commitments. And if you have a political party that puts the interest of teachers unions

00:35:50.380 over the interest of kids being able to just access an education at all, that tells you all you

00:35:55.720 need to know about the modern Democrat party. A very good answer here. And yes, this is why they

00:36:03.660 were going after him. This is going to be the question. The move here from people leaving the

00:36:10.560 coasts, is that just a typical, everybody's going to flee the regulatory state and the oppressive taxes

00:36:16.420 and all this sort of stuff? Or are you seeing Americans split along party lines? Are you seeing

00:36:23.500 migration that is not being even primarily caused by people's jobs moving or weather or whatever,

00:36:30.060 another dust bowl or something? Or are you seeing migration that is being caused by political views?

00:36:37.100 I sort of hope that's what's going on here. It might be bad for the country in the long run.

00:36:41.920 Maybe. I'm not convinced of that. But in the short run, it's really, I think, the only chance we've

00:36:46.400 got to hold on to these swing states and crack this left-wing establishment in any sort of way.

00:36:55.000 Because there are people, by the way, who change their views. There are plenty of people who have

00:36:58.740 moved out who were, say, California Democrats who just realized Mussolini's reign is horrible.

00:37:04.580 You know, Mayor Garcetti in Los Angeles, maybe the worst mayor in the entire country. I think he might

00:37:08.780 be worse than de Blasio in New York. And people leaving and saying, you know, I used to consider

00:37:12.620 myself left-wing. But, you know, the crazy lockdown rules, keeping kids out of school, the insane racial 1.00

00:37:20.080 caste system, the politics that are explicitly anti-Asian and anti-white. This is too much for me. I can't get

00:37:27.340 into this. Actually, there's a woman at a Colorado school board meeting, local radio host, and a mom

00:37:34.380 in this district. She's a member of the concerned parent organization, Parents United America. She

00:37:40.180 just spoke out at the Douglas County School District against this issue that's becoming increasingly

00:37:44.860 prominent. And it's, you know, from the way, you know, ethereal realm of the ivory tower, but it's

00:37:53.940 really not having a practical effect on kids' education and on our political life. She spoke out

00:37:59.440 against critical race theory. When we look at the Gemini group teaching, which I took time to watch the

00:38:05.320 entire thing, it is even more disturbing. And this group was hired by this board. Because in that

00:38:12.800 training, it talks about oppressors and oppressed. That is damaging to every group of children. First

00:38:18.880 of all, some group of children are thought of as being shamed for who they are. The others are taught

00:38:24.180 that they are victims without the ability to further themselves and to look at the others as the

00:38:28.640 enemies. We all know the Dr. King quote that has been shared, color of our skin versus the content of

00:38:34.900 our character. He had a dream. This is a nightmare. It is a nightmare for our children, and it needs to end

00:38:40.320 now. The training also, by the way, divides basically educators and parents. Because in the

00:38:46.520 training, it refers to parents as dissenters. We are not dissenters. We are the parents. It goes on to

00:38:53.640 say and train educators to tell dissenters that this is simply the way we are going to educate

00:38:59.360 your children. They are our children. We are the ones that have the moral authority over their

00:39:06.020 education. We will not be marginalized. Of course. But they are being marginalized. I mean,

00:39:11.300 she makes an excellent point here, but that is what's happening. This is not just some kooky

00:39:15.080 theory that was developed in the Frankfurt School 100 years ago, or rather a derivation of these,

00:39:20.400 of critical theory more broadly that was developed by the Frankfurt School, which, by the way, I discuss

00:39:23.840 in my opinion book, Speechless Controlling Words, Controlling Minds, which is available now for

00:39:26.540 pre-order wherever you get your fine books. But this is having a practical effect because you're not just

00:39:31.940 reading a book and having an academic discussion. That's never what these theories were about. This

00:39:35.920 is about practical training to get power to establish a racial caste system in America,

00:39:40.580 which is what's being done. And it's being done and drilled into the minds of five-year-olds and

00:39:45.200 people who are even younger than that. And it's being drilled into people's minds in the workplace.

00:39:49.380 And it's being drilled into people's minds in the government institutions. It's even being drilled

00:39:53.100 into people's minds in the military. You've got to fight back against that, or you're going to look up

00:39:58.280 and realize that your culture has completely been inverted. Things happen gradually and then

00:40:03.540 suddenly, and we're in the suddenly part of that. These people are telling you what they believe.

00:40:07.660 You can read the training materials. You can read the writings of these critical theorists.

00:40:13.140 You can read the emails of Dr. Fauci, for goodness sakes. You can see where they're saying, yes,

00:40:17.060 we're making political decisions here because we think this is the kind of society we should have.

00:40:21.400 Not, I'm making a scientific observation. These are the facts. No. Even think of the 1619

00:40:26.400 Project. We're not saying, this is the new fact and here's the old. No, the 1619 Project

00:40:30.020 is based on a lie, the central lie that the American Revolution was fought to preserve

00:40:34.520 slavery. There's just no evidence of that whatsoever. It's bogus. But what the 1619 Project 0.51

00:40:38.780 tries to do is reframe American history. What Dr. Fauci is doing in his public position

00:40:43.660 is deciding between what he thinks is better and worse for society as a political matter.

00:40:49.660 Not what is true and false as a scientific matter, but what he thinks is what people should do and

00:40:53.580 should not do. It's a question of morality. That's what the critical theorists are doing.

00:40:56.700 It's what all education is doing. And the Republicans and the conservatives have thrown

00:41:00.300 up their hands and said, oh, well, you know, you do you. It's all freedom. We can never use

00:41:04.900 political power. Well, look what happens as a result of that.

00:41:44.960 culture. We're looking and we're, I mean, how many times do we need to say we were right,

00:41:49.780 we were right, we were right. And all the authorities and all the institutions were wrong

00:41:53.660 and they were wrong and they were wrong. It doesn't matter. We can, we can say we were right until we

00:41:57.020 were blue in the face. They're the ones with the political power, right? They're still able to do

00:42:01.120 it. They lied in many ways about the reasons for the lockdown. They lied about the efficacy of masks.

00:42:06.840 They lied about the risk of asymptomatic spread. They lied about the risk to young people. They lie,

00:42:12.480 they lie, they lie, they lie, they lie. And it doesn't matter. They keep getting away with it.

00:42:16.180 Why? Because they have the political power and they're willing to use it. And we don't. 0.99

00:42:19.500 There's one bit of hope for now to fight back, which is they don't quite have the common sense.

00:42:25.780 They don't. They don't. And this is something that Antonio Gramsci, one of the founders of this

00:42:32.560 school of radicalism, who I'm not even going to mention what book he is discussed at great length

00:42:39.040 in because I don't want to break my cameras again on this show. But I think, look, I think we all

00:42:42.100 know what we're talking about. Antonio Gramsci pointed out that radical revolutions fail because

00:42:48.480 the kooky, crazy leftist theorists don't have a grasp on the common sense, that the common people,

00:42:54.000 the proletariat, the workers of the world, it actually, it turns out they like their traditions 0.94

00:42:57.420 and their way of life and their communities more than they like the radicals, insane theories.

00:43:01.520 So the trick is you've got to take over the common sense. Right now, the San Francisco Giants,

00:43:07.240 baseball team, Major League Baseball team, are going to wear rainbow colored hats for Pride Month.

00:43:13.240 They're going to, Major League Baseball is, you know, American is apple pie, America's favorite

00:43:17.120 pastime, relatively conservative, probably the most conservative professional sport.

00:43:22.460 They're going to dress up their players in pride flags to celebrate, I don't know,

00:43:29.320 transing the kids or something, right? Is that, do you think the fans will like that? I don't think 1.00

00:43:33.360 so. I say this as a baseball fan. Do you think that the players will like that? I don't think so.

00:43:37.940 Corporations like that, the radicals who run those institutions like that, but I don't think

00:43:42.900 the majority of people get all that into it. I don't think, when you drive around this country,

00:43:46.780 you'll see a lot of American flags and you'll see some rainbow flags and you'll see some BLM flags,

00:43:51.520 but I think still the majority of Americans don't identify with those radical leftist symbols.

00:43:56.820 So they're pushing it and they're pushing it and they're trying to create that sense of

00:44:02.740 democratic popular support, but I don't think they really have it yet. Raises a lot of questions too.

00:44:08.340 What if you're a Muslim baseball player and you say, you know, I'm actually not cool with this 1.00

00:44:12.840 stuff. Are you allowed to not wear the hat? What if you're a Jewish baseball player? What if you're

00:44:18.200 a Christian baseball player? What if you hold a different view of sexual morality? What if you

00:44:23.500 hold a different view of human nature, even, you know, who we are, what makes us up? No,

00:44:27.660 you will be religiously coerced by the liberal regime. Also known as our democracy, you know,

00:44:36.020 the left always talks, when they, as Angelo Cotevilla, the great political theorist writes,

00:44:40.800 when they talk about our democracy, they're usually talking about their oligarchy.

00:44:45.600 Well, what about it? What about the players who object to this sort of thing? They are going to

00:44:49.800 be forced to embrace religious and sexual views and moral views that they might not hold. Okay. I

00:44:58.180 don't think it's totally effective though. I think they know that the majority of people don't go along

00:45:04.020 with this stuff. Kamala Harris showed it the other day. She was giving a speech at the Naval Academy

00:45:07.700 and she made some kind of woke sort of joke. And it just, it just totally flopped with the

00:45:13.460 servicemen and women there. And then of course, there is climate change, which is a very real

00:45:18.980 threat to our national security. And I look at you and I know you are among the experts who will navigate

00:45:28.720 and mitigate this threat. And just ask any Marine today, would she rather carry 20 pounds of batteries 1.00

00:45:42.260 or a rolled up solar panel? And I am positive she will tell you a solar panel. And so would he.

00:45:52.480 So it's funny, if you look, if you looked at, I think she was expecting that to be a huge applause

00:46:06.500 line and then she, it doesn't happen. And then she kind of spurs in, she's like, ha ha ha. And

00:46:11.240 she tries to do it. And then you hear a sort of polite, polite applause. And, but if you look at the

00:46:15.360 images, most of the people are pretty, pretty stone-faced out there in the crowd. If you ask a

00:46:20.560 Marine, what she would like to, oh, you thought I was going to say he, but I said she. Hmm. Oh yeah,

00:46:25.560 that's right. Yeah. Women are much stronger than men physically, right? Yeah. No, that's ha ha. And 0.96

00:46:31.480 so would he. No, no one really thinks that, right? This is actually why the transgender sports issue is

00:46:37.160 such a big deal right now. Actually, by the way, if men and women really were exactly the same,

00:46:46.080 then certainly the transgender sports issue would not be a problem at all. And that you wouldn't see

00:46:53.720 these men winning all of these races. But we all know, we all look at the, at the weightlifter,

00:46:58.080 the strongest female weightlifter in history, who's got giant broad shoulders and a huge Adam's apple 0.99

00:47:03.140 and is obviously a dude. We look at the fastest female runners in history who are men. You know, 1.00

00:47:08.760 they're obviously men and maybe they've mutilated their body to some degree, but they're obviously

00:47:12.580 men. And we say, you know, I just can't get past it. Why, why does this transgender issue 1.00

00:47:18.560 take so much of our political discourse right now? I hear a lot of people say, gosh, it's so crazy that

00:47:25.140 smart people have to spend all their time debating whether or not, whether men or women or women or

00:47:29.420 men. The reason is that this common sense issue, this is a real stumbling block because even if people

00:47:36.640 go along with so many other aspects of the liberal establishment, this is one that is just staring them in the

00:47:42.020 face with like big giant muscles, just staring them right in there, maybe a long hair and a wig or

00:47:46.740 something, but giant muscles. And you say, no, I can't, you can't go to your average person on the

00:47:52.200 street who doesn't have, you know, a great education in critical theory and radical leftism. You can't go

00:47:58.420 to them and say, hey, that husky Hank over there now known as Helen is exactly the same as any other

00:48:03.840 woman and have them agree with that. It's just so obviously not true. So you've got, if you want to

00:48:09.520 take over the common sense, if you want to have a real position of political power, you've got to

00:48:14.760 be able to crack even those most basic perceptions about the world. And so that's going to take a lot

00:48:21.320 of the political energy. If it didn't matter, the left wouldn't be investing so much time and energy

00:48:26.380 and money into this matter. They've got to be able to convince you that your common sense is

00:48:33.540 unreliable and wrong. But guess what? Our common sense about this virus, about these lockdowns,

00:48:40.040 about basically every aspect of it, we're right. We now know it. We've known it for a long time

00:48:45.160 and the Fauci emails more or less prove it.

00:48:50.700 That is something that you can rely on. Prudence is a conservative virtue.

00:48:54.460 And I think it's much more reliable than all these wacky experts. But once they crack that,

00:48:58.120 once they crack your ability to perceive the world and to use your common sense,

00:49:03.280 then the revolution will be complete. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show. I'll see you

00:50:06.140 Puerto Rico, but doesn't seem to be doing anything to help herself. Also, emails from Dr. Fauci prove

00:50:11.700 that we've been lied to repeatedly, which I think we probably already knew. And also, a high school

00:50:15.140 valedictorian goes off script during her graduation speech to slam the state of Texas for restricting

00:50:20.160 abortion. We'll talk about that and much more today on The Matt Walsh Show.
