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
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
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.
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
00:03:42.920
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,
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,
00:07:11.980
we were more correct than all the experts and all the genius politicians. Next email.
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
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
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
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,

it's 4hims.com slash Michael. What the Fauci emails show us is not too much about the science,
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
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
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
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
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
00:17:51.140
immigrants are oppressed? Immigrants chose to come here. And they chose to come here largely to give
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
00:18:17.500
saying I understand it. But now we're saying, okay, and Hispanics too. Hispanics get a leg up and white
00:18:22.960
people aren't allowed to apply. Why? They came here voluntarily. And rather their ancestors came
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.
00:18:56.180
That is the racial regime that we're living under. And it's no surprise that people think that race
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.
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,
00:20:39.860
things are going to get better. The very fact that the plurality of black respondents to this survey
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
00:20:51.260
white. He's no better rather than that evil neo-Nazi white supremacist president, Donald Trump,
00:20:57.860
which is, I think, spreading throughout all of our political discourse. You see, we use this language
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
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
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.
00:22:22.320
You're not welcome near normal people. Medical Jim Crow has come to America. If we still had
00:22:26.540
water fountains, the unvaccinated would have separate ones. Medical Jim Crow has come to
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,
00:22:41.600
but Tucker was smart to make it. I think Tucker was right even to make it because the only language
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
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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
00:29:56.560
premises, when you say things like you can't legislate morality, and it's not just the left who
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
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
00:31:39.100
her own image at your expense as a taxpayer. She's a lockdown lobbyist. She would have had our kids
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
00:47:03.140
and is obviously a dude. We look at the fastest female runners in history who are men. You know,
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
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
00:48:50.700
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

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez posts pictures of the crumbling shack where her grandmother lives in
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.
