Joe Biden was a complete laughingstock at the G7 summit, but it won t matter because members of the ruling elite never seem to face consequences for their actions. From Black Lives Matter to the big tech oligarchs to the self-loving Jeff Toobin, we will hold them to account.
00:00:00.000Joe Biden met with world leaders this weekend to discuss foreign policy at the G7 conference.
00:00:06.480And he couldn't even remember the difference between the most recent countries that we have bombed.
00:00:14.420We could work together with Russia, for example, in Libya.
00:00:20.680We should be opening up the passes to be able to go through and provide food assistance and economic, I mean, vital assistance to a population that's in real trouble.
00:00:35.420I think I'm going to try very hard to, it is, and by the way, there's places where, I shouldn't be starting off and negotiating in public here, but let me say it this way.
00:00:46.520Russia has engaged in activities which we believe are contrary to international norms, but they have also bitten off some real problems they're going to have trouble chewing on.
00:01:05.740And, for example, the rebuilding of Syria, of Libya, you know, this is, they're there.
00:01:14.140And the, in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, yeah, that, that was, Libya and Syria are different countries, though President Biden doesn't recognize that.
00:01:27.840So this vibrant man got more votes than anyone ever in the history of voting, or he's probably got more votes than Assad.
00:01:33.580Joe Biden's performance was a laughingstock, as was the whole G7 summit.
00:01:38.340But it won't matter, because members of the ruling elite never seem to face consequences for their actions.
00:01:45.460From BLM race hustlers and hoax artists, to the big tech oligarchs, who just censored a U.S. senator, just happened,
00:01:52.360to the self-loving Jeff Toobin, getting reinstated on CNN after pleasuring himself on a Zoom call.
00:01:57.980But we will hold them to account. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:02:01.340Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment from Friday is from Socially Dangerous Element, who says,
00:02:15.780It sounds as if people who don't believe in the concept of sin are using the term whiteness as a stand-in for sin.
00:02:23.060That's true. That's exactly what they're doing.
00:02:24.900The difference, of course, between the traditional Christian understanding of sin and the current woke understanding of whiteness as sin
00:02:33.300is that in Christianity, there's redemption.
00:02:36.260And in wokeness, there ain't no redemption, which is why you have the people who view whiteness as a sin
00:02:42.300saying, as they did in that major medical journal last week, that this is a disease, this is a terrible problem,
00:15:27.240You are accountable, even for your private actions.
00:15:30.080But what we have now developed in this country, in our secular and permissive society, is this idea that in the privacy of your own home, in your own private life, you can do whatever you want.
00:15:43.340And we've considered this to be the height of liberty.
00:15:45.200Even though it's not liberty, it's licentiousness.
00:15:47.000And our founding fathers made a big distinction between the two.
00:15:51.380If you have a country in which everybody is doing all sorts of bad things in private, and they don't even feel shame for it, then you're going to get a country that has a bad public sphere as well.
00:16:05.400Because the public sphere is going to just be all these private people doing things together.
00:16:14.120I have spent the seven subsequent months, miserable months in my life, I can certainly confess, trying to be a better person.
00:16:24.100I mean, in therapy, trying to do some public service, working in a food bank, which I certainly am going to continue to do, working on a new book about the Oklahoma City bombing.
00:16:33.720But I am trying to become the kind of person that people can trust again.
00:16:38.860I actually give him some credit here, but I think that he and the CNN audience probably don't understand the reasoning that he's advancing here.
00:16:50.540If you get caught doing that thing on Zoom with your colleagues, why would you work in a food bank?
00:17:29.840The point is, what we do in private will affect our public's square.
00:17:38.160And so much of the right no longer acknowledges that because we've gone crazy with these bumper sticker slogans of individual rights.
00:17:48.240And we don't understand even what that meant in the context of the founding fathers.
00:17:53.340Because we don't know anything because we've got people who don't have any credibility telling it to us.
00:17:56.700Speaking of irresponsibility in the news, a newspaper in Texas, the Austin American Statesman, said on Saturday that it will not publish the description that local law enforcement gave them of a man suspected of shooting 13 people.
00:18:14.360A guy shows up, shoots 13 people on Friday night.
00:18:18.740And the newspaper will not publish the description of that suspect because it could, quote, could be harmful in perpetrating stereotypes.
00:18:30.960Which now I think everyone has an image of what this person is, but you're not allowed to say it.
00:18:35.920Editor's note, police have only released a vague description of the suspect shooter as of Saturday morning.
00:18:41.360The Austin American Statesman is not including the description as it is too vague at this time to be useful in identifying the shooter.
00:18:48.460And such publication could be harmful in perpetuating stereotypes.
00:18:51.780If more detailed information is released, we'll update our reporting.
00:22:00.080All because I was a black student living in their space.
00:22:03.000We want these people to be held accountable.
00:22:04.800We want people to know that black students will not be silenced in their space of education.
00:22:09.820You can't remove us from our homes and we will be getting educated.
00:22:13.180Now, if you listen carefully, first of all, I never believed this for a second.
00:22:17.520But if you listen carefully, she says, you know, they were throwing it at all my stickers, my pride sticker, my this, my that.
00:22:23.600But they were especially aiming at the Black Lives Matter sticker.
00:22:28.080Not that they especially hit the Black Lives Matter, but they were aiming.
00:22:30.560How does she know what they were aiming at?
00:22:33.140To know how they were aiming rather than just what they hit, you would have to be the one who threw the eggs yourself, which is what appears to have happened here.
00:22:47.200I actually detail probably a dozen or more of these race hoaxes in my upcoming book, Speeches, Controlling Words, Controlling Mind, available now for pre-order.
00:22:55.180However, I mean, I have many members of my family who look darker than this girl, right?
00:23:05.780And yet she is saying that I, in particular, am being targeted for the anti-Black racism in this country.
00:23:18.320If you can claim in any way to be a member of an aggrieved group, you get certain privileges in school, in the culture, from the government.
00:23:39.320Racial grievance is big business right now.
00:23:42.060You're seeing it in the infighting in the BLM movement.
00:23:44.980So, you know, we've covered BLM, Buy Large Mansions, and we've covered the head of that, Patrice Cullors, who recently had to step down because she was caught buying multiple gigantic homes, some in Beverly Hills, some millions of dollars.
00:23:59.340And it became clear that this was a grift.
00:24:07.680And now some of the other breakaway BLM groups, BLM groups that are not under the umbrella of the national organization, they want a piece of the action, namely Michael Brown's father.
00:24:18.720So you remember Michael Brown was that kid.
00:24:21.200He was a teenager who had just robbed a convenience store, and then he charged a cop, grabbed the cop's gun, and then he was shot.
00:24:30.220And it was dishonestly reported that he had his hands up, and he said, hands up, don't shoot.
00:24:35.900That didn't happen, confirmed by grand jury, by multiple autopsies.
00:24:40.640But now the family of Michael Brown is asking to get a little piece of the action from the BLM national organization.
00:24:47.960You can hear more about all sorts of this kind of stuff on the Candace Owens podcast right now.

00:25:37.100The race hustlers are fighting with one another, and they're not fighting over justice, and they're not fighting over philosophy.
00:25:55.660They're fighting over cold, hard cash because the BLM national organization raised tens of millions of dollars, almost $100 million, and the smaller BLM groups want a piece of the action.
00:26:04.840So, the most notable person in this fight is the father of Michael Brown.
00:26:10.840A New York City group is focused on this, but also the father of Michael Brown in Ferguson.
00:26:16.840He was the teenager who got into the altercation with the cop on the street.
00:26:20.300So, when I heard that Michael Brown Sr. was going after the BLM organization, I never thought that this would be this guy waking up and deciding that actually this racial grievance, this is a bad thing and we need to change our tactics.
00:26:38.700No, I knew it was always going to be just that he wanted a little more money out of it.
00:26:45.260There's a memoir out by the mother of Michael Brown and by the, I don't think they were married, but by the girlfriend of Michael Brown Sr.
00:26:57.180And this book is called Speak the Truth and Shame the Devil.
00:27:01.540You'll notice that whenever these poor kids are caught up, or teenagers or whatever, are caught up in an officer-involved shooting, and no matter how justified the shooting, all of a sudden family members come out of the woodwork.
00:27:15.740Family members, and they say, we demand justice, and what they really demand is a paycheck.
00:27:19.220And that's what we're seeing with Michael Brown Sr.
00:27:20.620All the evidence, if Michael Brown's mother is to be believed, is that this guy was a real piece of work.
00:27:29.420According to the memoir, he was a violent abuser.
00:27:33.780He forced a shotgun into Michael Brown's mother's mouth during a fight so far down her throat that she choked.
00:27:40.940She writes in her memoir that she could hear their two children, with Michael Brown Sr., crying downstairs as this man was pointing a gun at her.
00:27:51.240At one time, he smashed the windshield of her car with his fist.
00:27:55.380He repeatedly beat her in front of the children.
00:27:59.680He refused to get a job, all according to the memoir.
00:28:02.840And then one time, right in front of Michael Brown Jr., he took her and threw her into a TV.
00:28:08.680Now, I'm just going to take this woman at her word.
00:28:10.960I don't see any reason not to believe it.
00:28:14.260And Michael Brown Sr. has not done a very good job denying these charges.
00:28:17.840It makes you feel pretty bad for these kids, for someone like Michael Brown.
00:28:23.880So, Michael Brown was committing crimes, too.
00:28:25.700Michael Brown reached for the officer's gun in Ferguson.
00:28:27.980I don't think the officer had any alternative than to do what he did.
00:28:32.140However, this kid obviously comes from a horrible place because his father, according to all evidence, is a complete and utter degenerate.
00:28:39.920And now the father is demanding justice and millions and millions of dollars, all according to racial grievance.
00:28:45.180So, this guy, by all accounts, just a complete deadbeat, a complete drain on society, and worse, a violent abuser.
00:28:53.760And yet, he's going to be held up as a hero.
00:28:56.720If you read the mainstream media accounts and you don't read this woman's memoir, this guy, he's the poor, aggrieved father and the victim himself of racial injustice.
00:29:05.780No, the reason that they do this is because he is useful to the current ruling elite.
00:29:11.800And so, they're going to use him to push their narrative.
00:29:16.520And when they come up with a new narrative, they'll find some new guy to push that same narrative.
00:29:21.360It doesn't matter the facts on the ground.
00:29:36.360An 18-year-old guy was caught on camera, on a little nighttime camera, over a bed or over a crib, kidnapping and murdering a four-year-old boy.
00:29:46.460So, you can see it's really terrifying.
00:29:48.120He goes into the room, nabs this kid out of bed.
00:29:51.620He's sleeping next to his brother, a four-year-old boy.
00:29:54.380And then the boy, sometime later, is found beaten to death, dead on the street.
00:29:58.260The suspect's name, the suspect who we saw on camera, is Darren Ronnell Brown, 18 years old, strongly suspected of murdering this four-year-old boy, Cash Gurnan.
00:30:10.860Thankfully, he's been charged with capital murder, which carries a life sentence or possibly the death penalty.
00:39:02.040I've looked at this from a straight scientific point of view, not, you know, personalities.
00:39:05.520And there are just so many signatures and so many events that are consistent with a lab leak.
00:39:11.200There's literally no fact that we know of that is similar to a previous natural zoonosis.
00:39:19.460So, you know, my analysis gets into the one in the billion chance here that this could have come from nature.
00:39:26.120So, virologists have done work over the last 20, 30 years, and there's probably seven or eight jumps from an animal virus to a human every year in Asia.
00:39:40.160That's documented over the last 30 years in Asia.
00:39:42.460So, it's an eight-to-one ratio out of the box.
00:39:44.680So, I, you know, for January of 2020, when I heard that there was a wet market associated with this, I was saying, okay, that sounds familiar.
00:39:52.380And then I heard that the only BSLA-4 laboratory and the place where 60% of all the coronavirus research that's been published in the world comes from, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, is, you know, three kilometers from the PLA hospital where the first patient was.
00:40:10.320That switches your probabilities, you know, overnight, instantly.
00:40:33.700I do think there is some glimmering hope that this ruling liberal elite will eventually be held to account, at least to some degree.
00:40:43.520The glimmering hope, Florida, baby, Florida and South Dakota, the Americas of America, the land of the free, where we can still breathe the sweet air of freedom.
00:40:57.740The economies of those two states are not only back to where they were before COVID.
00:41:38.840They're still below their pre-COVID strength.
00:41:40.780But South Dakota and Florida, two states that were basically open the whole time, took a very skeptical approach to all the lockdowns and basically just kept society moving.
00:42:59.400And you can see actually Florida did much better than the places that locked down.
00:43:03.400Now, there's a downside to that too, though, which is I don't think this is the permanent solution.
00:43:11.200I think that ultimately when these states get a little too free, when these states get a little too sensible, the federal government is going to come in.
00:43:19.240I mean, this is so much of what you're seeing with the growth of the public health bureaucracy, the growth of the racial grievance ideology that is often enforced at the federal level, and the growth of these woke corporations that have more political power than many elected officials, which operate, as Mitch McConnell said, like a sort of parallel government.
00:43:42.780And some people are going to try to stand strong, like Christy Noem is going to try to some degree, or Ron DeSantis is doing a pretty good job at it.
00:43:50.020But ultimately, I do fear that even given a handful of Republican, really tough conservative states, the liberal establishment is just so strong.
00:44:00.160It is not enough to say, well, just go to your own states and we'll just have federalism.
00:44:03.340No, we've got to gain national power too.
00:44:07.680You know, the federal and cultural, the federal policies, rather, have such huge cultural effect because they've got so many resources.
00:44:16.680I mean, you know, during COVID, the federal government puts out all these extremely abundant, ample unemployment benefits.
00:44:24.940It's part of the reason right now that employers are having a tough job getting people to come back to work is because they've had very good benefits.
00:44:29.820So, there's a report out now, according to Axios, that street gangs and foreign criminal syndicates may have stolen up to half of the unemployment benefits paid out during the coronavirus lockdowns.
00:44:48.720Half of it, half of your tax money, massive, massive transfer of wealth stolen by criminals.
00:45:35.480The RNC is very slowly, very slowly starting, I think, kind of to wake up to this.
00:45:41.860In terms of the presidential debates in 2024, the RNC is now saying they might skip network television debates if they are not dramatically overhauled.
00:45:51.780This is a very good sign, not because this is going to be the game changing issue, the presidential debates, you know, to some degree, who cares?
00:45:59.760But it's a symbol of the right, but it's a symbol of the larger problem, that the right plays on the left's field according to the left's rules.
00:46:07.940The fact that Republican candidates for president, especially during the primaries, but even during the general, would go onto these leftist network debates and let leftists dictate the priorities of their own party or even of the general election is insane.
00:46:27.780Obviously, these networks are not objective and they're not nonpartisan, but we continue to play along with that.
00:46:34.160And as Republicans play along with that, the only effect that they can possibly have is to be the court jester in the kingdom of liberalism.
00:46:42.040The only thing that they're going to do is legitimize the ruling liberal establishment that is accountable to nobody.
00:46:47.860And that's it. And that's all there is.
00:46:51.000It's even worse than doing nothing because they're giving credence to the idea that we actually have a functioning two-party system in the country, when in fact we don't.
00:46:59.500We have a liberal establishment and we have a group of people that basically try to, you know, put up a show of opposition, but really just go along to get along.
00:47:08.620And before we go, we've only got 33 seconds left. I've got to point out, you know, AOC made this whole claim that Donald Trump kept her abuela's relief money in Puerto Rico away from her and she was living in squalor.
00:47:19.820And then Matt Walsh and the Daily Wire crew over here raised $100,000 to fix abuela's roof.
00:47:24.600And then AOC, on behalf of abuela, called GoFundMe and shut down the whole thing and kind of proved the point that it was never about AOC's grandmother or anything like that.
00:47:41.820It's a problem here in Puerto Rico, not with Washington.
00:47:44.440AOC's aunt says Trump is not to blame for lack of aid to the struggling island after the congresswoman bashed the former president for damage to her grandmother's home.
00:47:52.740The whole abuela thing was just completely contrived and fake.
00:47:56.020The arguments that AOC made about it, just not true.
00:47:58.460She just lied and won't face any consequences for it.
00:48:03.800We're all Jeffrey Toobin now, aren't we?
00:48:06.660We're all, you know, I think pleasuring oneself on a Zoom call is probably the most precise description I've ever heard for our ruling elite.
