The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 873 - The Unvaxxed Second Class

00:00:00.000 As 15 days to slow the spread enters its 590th day, rulers around the world are becoming more

00:00:07.160 brazen and open about the political goals of this public health lockdown. In New Zealand,

00:00:14.320 the prime minister is now openly admitting her ultimate goal, which is a new social hierarchy,

00:00:20.740 a new form of segregation. So you basically said this is going to be like, well, it's almost like

00:00:27.820 you probably don't see like this, the two different classes of people. If you're vaccinated or if

00:00:31.440 you're unvaccinated, you have all these rights. If you are vaccinated. That is what it is. So,

00:00:35.620 yep. That is what it is. You got to give her points for honesty. All societies have hierarchies. Okay.

00:00:43.160 Sometimes the hierarchies are according to class, sometimes according to race, sometimes according

00:00:49.560 to money. In America until very recently, it was according to merit. Now the hierarchy depends

00:00:56.800 entirely upon your compliance with the whims of the ruling class. On the bright side, though,

00:01:03.600 as the left is showing its true colors, the right is becoming increasingly less cowardly,

00:01:10.100 at least in a few places, willing to take off the kid clubs to fight back. I'm Michael Knowles.

00:01:15.740 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:16.960 Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment from yesterday comes from Charlene, who says,

00:01:29.300 every time I feel like giving up homeschooling because it seems impossible, I just watch videos

00:01:34.600 like these to reiterate why I chose to do it in the first place. This is true. It's very hard to fight

00:01:41.520 back against these people who are taking away your rights and your liberties and your way of life

00:01:45.620 because they just make it so convenient to give them all the power. And they make it so inconvenient

00:01:52.620 not to give them all the power. But we've got to fight back. That's the trap. Okay. They've got the

00:01:59.160 stick. They beat you with the stick, but they've got that carrot too. It makes it so easy. Do not let

00:02:03.660 them do that. Okay. We want to preserve something. We want to have good memories to pass on to future

00:02:10.440 generations, good memories to look back to. When you want to look back to some of those great memories,

00:02:15.460 I would recommend you check out Paint Your Life. I love Paint Your Life. I could not possibly be more

00:02:20.860 impressed with Paint Your Life. What is Paint Your Life? You send them a photo or multiple photos

00:02:26.800 of a loved one, of a place, of a special memory, and they will create a hand-painted picture of it

00:02:33.960 for you. I like mine in oil, but they have other options as well. I will be completely blunt. I did not

00:02:41.260 think this could be a good service. I figured the art would be amateurish and not great.

00:02:45.880 So the first time I got one done, I had it done for my stepbrother. And then I received

00:02:49.800 the hand-painted portrait. And it was beautiful. It was incredible. So then I said, all right, fine,

00:02:56.020 you can have this one because it was of him and his wife. But I said, now I want some for me. I had

00:02:59.860 one done of my mother. I'm having another one done. Now it's just, they're just beautiful. They're

00:03:04.600 really, and the price is unbelievably low. And it is such a special way to spruce up your home,

00:03:09.460 have a cherished memory. It makes a great Christmas gift. At PaintYourLife.com,

00:03:37.840 Text Michael, M-I-C-H-A-E-L to 64,000. You want to talk about brazenness? You want to talk about

00:03:44.580 boldness? The way the ruling class here in the United States, especially, is just wielding its 0.61

00:03:50.740 power? Hunter Biden. Yes, Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden, you know, he's that great artist. He started

00:04:00.280 painting about five minutes ago. Now he is one of the highest grossing artists in the world.

00:04:05.200 His art dealer is a man named George Berger. Oh, wow. Doesn't that sound just like an art dealer?

00:04:11.980 George Berger, the art dealer for Hunter Biden, was photographed on Thursday wearing a hat from

00:04:21.980 Camp David. Camp David is the presidential retreat. That's the place where the president and his family

00:04:28.200 go to relax, the sort of private place for the president. So we've been told that Hunter Biden's

00:04:34.140 art career, which has existed for exactly five minutes, has absolutely nothing to do with Joe

00:04:39.760 Biden. It has nothing to do with peddling influence, has nothing to do with bad actors around the world

00:04:45.640 trying to curry favor with the sitting president. Hunter Biden's getting half a million dollars for

00:04:51.340 his doodles just because people really like them or something. And so his art dealer is wearing a hat

00:04:58.780 featuring the symbol of the presidential retreat. Now, where did he get the hat? Did the art dealer go

00:05:06.340 to Camp David? I don't know. Maybe he did. Maybe he didn't. That would be kind of a scandal if he did

00:05:11.580 actually go there. Did he get the hat from Hunter or Joe Biden? I don't know. It'd be pretty scandalous

00:05:16.420 if he did that. Did he just have the hat made on his own? He's never been to Camp David. He just had

00:05:20.560 it printed up on a website. Very possibly that's still a scandal because the signal that he is sending

00:05:26.660 out there is I am close to the president. I'm so close to the president that I go to his private

00:05:31.620 retreat. Want to buy this artwork? Half a million bucks for some doodles. But imagine the influence

00:05:37.320 that will buy you. And what are we doing about it? What do conservatives do about this? Well, I'll tell

00:05:44.320 you what they do. Here's a news report just came out yesterday. On Monday, a group of GOP members of

00:05:50.240 the House Judiciary Committee fired off a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland demanding he fully

00:05:56.140 and unequivocally withdraw some memo that he had written. I'm really not criticizing members of

00:06:03.860 the House of Representatives here. Okay. They're doing pretty much all that they can do. But I have

00:06:10.480 to tell you, I am really, really sick of headlines about Republican lawmakers sending other people

00:06:18.320 letters. I am breaking. Republican sends letter to his political opponents. Breaking. The opponents

00:06:30.200 have to read the letter. Oh, wow, guys, was the letter strongly worded? Oh, boy, that's going to

00:06:36.240 show him. God, how is Merrick Garland going to recover from that? You sent him a letter. Oh, boy,

00:06:41.180 the Biden administration's on the ropes, man. They're getting letters from the House.

00:06:45.060 They're getting letters from the Senate. Oh, boy, their afternoon is going to be ruined,

00:06:49.780 depending on what adjectives you put in that letter. Not going to do anything, of course.

00:06:55.140 So what are we supposed to do? I'm really not beating up on the House members here because they

00:06:59.080 just don't have any power. So they can hold hearings that don't matter, and they can write

00:07:04.400 letters that also don't matter. What we need to do if we want to affect politics beyond hurting

00:07:10.260 Merrick Garland's feelings with strongly worded letters is we need to win elections, and then we

00:07:15.900 need to fire lots of people, lots of Democrats in the bureaucracy. Then we need to replace them 0.98

00:07:21.780 with our people, and then we need to wield power and exercise that power.

00:07:29.140 Strongly worded letters and a buck 50 will get you a cup of coffee. That's actually not true.

00:07:34.300 In Trump's America, strongly worded letters and a buck 50 would get you a cup of coffee. In Joe

00:07:39.300 Biden's America, you need like six or seven bucks because inflation is through the roof. And there's

00:07:42.780 nothing you can do about it, Republicans, unless you win elections and kick out all your opponents

00:07:47.420 and fill those positions with all your supporters and then wield the power. Okay, but we don't really

00:07:53.940 tend to do that very much. What happens is we occasionally win elections, and then we don't do anything

00:07:59.080 other than cut taxes, which is not going to help us retake our country. Now, the strongly worded

00:08:06.680 letter in this case was focused on Merrick Garland's decision to target the concerned parents who have

00:08:13.720 been showing up to school board meetings. Okay, so the DOJ, the attorney general, had sent out this

00:08:20.320 letter accusing parents who show up to school board meetings of being domestic terrorists.

00:08:25.160 And so the Republicans don't like this. So what we need to do is not just write strongly worded

00:08:29.860 letters. We need to win the elections and stop this because what the parents are doing

00:08:33.160 is far more important and effective than what most elected Republicans are doing. And speaking of those

00:08:38.660 schools, by the way, that issue is working for Republicans. There was a new poll just came out

00:08:43.420 from Suffolk and USA Today. It was a poll of likely Virginia voters. It was a poll on the approval

00:08:50.880 numbers for Joe Biden. Joe Biden won Virginia by 10 points in 2020 over President Trump. Right now,

00:08:59.420 Joe Biden's approval rating is underwater by 10 points in Virginia. Just 42% of Virginia residents

00:09:07.060 approve of Joe Biden's performance. 52% disapprove. Voters between the ages of 18 and 45 and voters 65 and

00:09:16.940 older were much more disapproving of Joe Biden than voters who were in the middle, 46 to 65.

00:09:24.180 So Joe Biden's margin of victory in Virginia was the largest for a Democrat in Virginia since FDR in

00:09:32.040 1944. Some of that might have to do with the way that they changed all of the voting measures.

00:09:37.920 What was the issue that mattered most to people? The issue that mattered most to people,

00:09:41.320 according to this poll, is the economy. That's almost always the case. 39.6% of the people

00:09:46.440 responding said it was the economy. So obviously Joe Biden is screwing up there. What's the second

00:09:50.740 biggest issue for people? Education. I said it yesterday. You know I hate to say how right I am.

00:09:57.500 It pains me. It's hard to do it. But I said yesterday, this education issue is a huge winning

00:10:03.720 issue for Republicans. Second only to the economy right now. So run on it. You're seeing Glenn Youngkin,

00:10:11.140 the Republican candidate for governor, running on it right now against Terry McAuliffe,

00:10:16.180 the once and future governor, the guy who's trying to take his job back. Terry McAuliffe running on a

00:10:20.660 platform of parents have no right to go to their kids' school boards. Parents have no right to

00:10:24.840 influence the curriculum. We need to run on this. This is a great issue. Okay? This is bad news for

00:10:31.180 Terry McAuliffe in Virginia in the short term, but let's learn this lesson. Don't just focus on the

00:10:35.880 stupid corporate tax cuts. Don't just focus on allowing the schools to teach whatever they want. 1.00

00:10:42.180 And yes, critical race theory is bad, so we shouldn't make it mandatory, but it should be an 0.92

00:10:46.140 option. And we should expand the curriculum and include also... No, just ban it. Just ban it.

00:10:50.280 DeSantis is doing this very effectively in Florida. Kick the stuff out of the classroom.

00:10:54.580 Fire the bad teachers. Fire the bad superintendents. Get a little bit tough. 0.98

00:11:01.140 The liberal establishment right now is trying to cover up corruption in schools. There was an

00:11:06.840 incredible piece in the Washington Post. Do I have the... No, I don't have the story itself. All you

00:11:13.200 really need, though, is the tweet about the story. Okay? So this is the Washington Post covering the

00:11:19.220 Loudoun County story. That's the story of a young girl who was raped in a bathroom by a dude who

00:11:26.680 sometimes wears a dress, who pretends that he's a girl sometimes because of the stupid transgender rules 1.00

00:11:32.760 in the bathrooms in Loudoun County. Here is the tweet from the Washington Post. 1.00

00:11:39.920 A teen testified that she met a classmate for consensual sex in the girls' bathroom of a Loudoun

00:11:46.160 County high school before, but in a May encounter, she was sexually assaulted. New details in the case

00:11:53.060 at the center of a firestorm. In other words, she had asked for it.

00:11:58.540 The Washington Post's hot take on a story that they refused to cover that we broke,

00:12:07.400 that the Daily Wire broke, about a girl being raped by a dude in a girl's bathroom at a school 0.53

00:12:11.640 with transgender bathroom policies. Their hot take is, she had asked for it. 1.00

00:12:17.480 Absolutely insane. Absolutely insane stuff coming from our rulers right now. I mean,

00:12:28.640 you can see, you don't need to look for these stories even in the schools and these stories.

00:12:32.120 You can just see it every time you go to the gas pump. And when you go to the gas pump,

00:13:45.700 is my early Christmas gift to you. Use code Knowles, K-N-W-L-E-S. The Washington Post frames the

00:13:52.820 story of a young girl, of a 15-year-old girl getting raped by a dude who sometimes wears a skirt in the

00:13:58.420 girl's bathroom. They frame it as, well, they had had sex before. They had had sex before. So, 0.97

00:14:04.040 so it was his right to have sex with her again. Now, obviously the Washington Post is sick and 1.00

00:14:10.980 shameless. This is a disgraceful take on the story. It does raise these questions. So let's answer 0.99

00:14:19.120 these questions. One, does previously consensual sex excuse raping someone? The Washington Post seems 0.86

00:14:25.760 to think perhaps we would say no, it does not. There is another question here, which is these kids were so

00:14:32.860 young. They had had a relationship before. What led to this? I won't go into the details of what

00:14:41.100 went on in this encounter, but it was as bad as it possibly gets, okay? Short of killing the girl,

00:14:46.560 it was as bad as it possibly gets. How old is the kid? 14, 15 years old? What led him to this?

00:14:53.020 What factors led to this? I would strongly suspect that this kid is looking at hardcore porn, right?

00:15:02.760 I mean, I suspect about 99% of teenage boys are looking at hardcore porn. It's everywhere. There

00:15:07.860 are no safeguards on it and boys are curious and their hormones are going crazy. Some of the acts

00:15:13.280 that he performed on this girl, I strongly suspect he first discovered in the ubiquitous hardcore porn.

00:15:18.340 Should we maybe regulate that? I know the kind of squish answer is no, we can never regulate that. 1.00

00:15:24.180 It seems to me probably we should. I'm not, just as I'm not blaming the victim like the Washington

00:15:28.260 Post is, I'm not just blaming porn, but there are factors that led to this. Maybe we should regulate

00:15:33.660 that. Maybe that's something conservatives need to take up. Speaking of crime and punishment though,

00:15:40.760 violent crime is surging in Minnesota. It's surged over the past year. It's up 17% total,

00:15:46.540 setting records for murders. Ilhan Omar's take on this. Got to blame the cops.

00:15:53.240 What we must also recognize is that the reduction in policing currently in our city and the lawlessness

00:16:02.560 that is happening is due to two things. One, the police have chosen to not fulfill their

00:16:16.060 oath of office and to provide the public safety. They are owed to the citizens they serve, right? It's

00:16:26.400 documented. But even before that, it was documented. The Minneapolis police department is the most

00:16:33.700 dysfunctional police department in our state and probably in the country.

00:16:38.980 Ilhan Omar has such a sinister sounding voice. It's beyond what she's actually saying. The way

00:16:46.520 she talks, it's like a movie villain. But what is she saying? She's saying,

00:16:52.020 we must recognize that the reduction in policing currently in our city and the lawlessness is

00:16:57.580 happening because the police have chosen to not fulfill their oath of office and protect the people

00:17:03.080 they said they'd protect. This is a big problem. And she says the second one is even before that,

00:17:09.020 it was documented that the Minneapolis police department was very dysfunctional, okay? But

00:17:13.160 the thing is, she's pointing out that it's these two problems, but we're focusing on the surge in

00:17:19.540 crime. So when she says even before recent events, the police department was very dysfunctional. Okay,

00:17:26.260 but that doesn't matter. That's irrelevant because we're talking about the change,

00:17:29.080 we're talking about the huge increase in crime, 17% increase in violent crime and new records for

00:17:34.700 murders. So it's really just number one. Ilhan Omar is saying the police are refusing to do their job

00:17:39.160 and protect people. What was Ilhan Omar saying last year? Last year, she said that the police are a

00:17:43.760 cancer and we quote, we need to completely dismantle the Minneapolis police department.

00:17:49.660 Do you get it yet? Do you see this? When the police do their job and arrest criminals,

00:17:54.980 that is terrible discrimination. It's racist. It's evil. It's white supremacy. We need to abolish

00:18:02.560 the police. Okay, then the police don't arrest the criminals. Do you know what that is? It's racist.

00:18:08.080 It's white supremacy. They're not protecting people. They're not doing their jobs. We need to, 0.95

00:18:13.060 what do we need to do? We need to refund the police. What is it? It's a rigged game is what it is.

00:18:18.960 Anything the cops do is evil and the cause of society's woes. There's nothing the cops can do

00:18:27.800 right now that Ilhan Omar will not blame them for. It's the same thing with racism.

00:18:35.660 You notice this in particular. Sometimes what the left will say, if you wear a sombrero

00:18:43.140 on Halloween or Cinco de Mayo or something, that is cultural appropriation. If you do your hair in

00:18:51.560 a certain way, if you wear certain clothing, that's cultural appropriation. That's racist.

00:18:57.040 If you don't do that, that's cultural erasure. So if you don't eat tacos on Cinco de Mayo,

00:19:02.620 if you don't acknowledge these other cultures, then you're erasing. Then you're a white supremacist

00:19:08.320 because you're not acknowledging Mexican people or black people or Asian people. That's very racist. 0.99

00:19:15.120 If you do acknowledge those cultures, you're also a racist because it's appropriating.

00:19:22.100 My culture is not your costume or whatever they say. There's no way to win. It's the same thing

00:19:28.080 with feminism. Do you remember? I remember this about three, four years ago. No more than that now,

00:19:32.400 I guess. There was a big, breaking, shocking story. Mike Pence, that evil, misogynistic Mike Pence,

00:19:39.360 he refused to cheat on his wife. So big, huge story. Mike Pence would not go on dinner dates with 0.99

00:19:46.080 women who were not his wife when his wife was not there. That's sexist. That's awful. He wouldn't

00:19:54.260 allow women to rise up the ranks. He was treating women differently than he would treat men.

00:20:01.300 So you got to go on dinner dates with women. But then, by the way, you go on dinner dates with 0.83

00:20:06.400 women and you're a Me Too predator sexist. There's no, there's no winning. It's a rigged game. 1.00

00:20:13.240 The squishes very often give into this. The people who say, I'm a Republican, but not that kind of

00:20:20.060 Republican. They always say, I'm not a racist. I'm not, I'm not a racist. Please. I, maybe we should

00:20:25.540 reform the police. I'm a, I'm a, not a sexist. I'm a not. They don't care, bro. They don't care.

00:20:33.460 Ilhan Omar doesn't care what the cops do. She's going to blame them for anything. 1.00

00:20:36.960 These radical leftists don't care what you white person or what you man or what you

00:20:42.180 non-LGBTLBNOP, what, you know, you straight person do. They don't care. They're just going to 0.90

00:20:48.160 blame you for everything. So maybe you should just follow your own moral compass,

00:20:52.320 your own conscience. Okay. And just do the right thing and stop trying to play their game.

00:20:56.960 Their game is rigged. Okay. The upshot of all of this is that we are not permitted to question our

00:21:04.540 rulers. I saw a tweet that really summed this up perfectly from Mehdi Hassan. Mehdi Hassan,

00:21:11.820 I take it, is someone on MSNBC. I've never seen him before, but he has a blue check mark.

00:21:16.800 He's on MSNBC. That is my sister network. That's where my doppelganger performs her show. 0.98

00:21:22.320 He was responding to the conservative, Jesse Kelly. He said, quote,

00:21:25.860 are you sure you even understand what you're talking about? Keeping unvaccinated people out 1.00

00:21:32.400 of public places is a bolded public health decision and not a political decision. Not sure

00:21:41.020 why this is so hard for the paranoid anti-science right to understand. Good night. Good night, sir.

00:21:48.060 Mehdi Hassan is so much smarter than those stupid conservatives like Jesse Kelly. They don't even 1.00

00:21:55.460 understand. This is about public health, not politics. Do you think this guy has ever googled

00:22:01.600 the word political? I bet he has not. I bet he would be pretty surprised. So I said, you know,

00:22:07.380 look, maybe I'm misremembering things. Let me, I'm just going to google the word political. Okay.

00:22:10.960 Do political. Okay. Here's the definition, quote, relating to the government or the public affairs

00:22:16.840 of a country. So it's about public health, not politics. Even though public health is,

00:22:25.200 is politics. It's the same thing. Whenever any lib tells you something is not political,

00:22:32.580 this is not political. Stop making this political. You can bet the farm that whatever they are doing

00:22:39.060 is extremely political and they themselves are politicizing it. You can, you can bet the farm

00:22:43.980 on that. But what, what Mehdi Hassan really means here is this is not something you should be allowed

00:22:50.840 to question. This is political. This relates to the public, but you have no right to question it.

00:22:56.740 We need to outsource this to Dr. Fauci. We need to outsource this to Joe Biden. We need to outsource

00:23:02.400 this to me and all the libs and you need to do whatever we say. When it comes to taking the Fauci

00:23:06.820 when it comes to how you can travel and where you can go. And when it comes to wearing that stupid 1.00

00:23:10.540 mask, you're not allowed to question it. And if you do, you'll be kicked off of social media. 1.00

00:23:16.460 You'll be kicked out of your school. You will be ostracized from society. You will be segregated.

00:23:20.840 Like the prime minister of New Zealand says, you will be segregated. You'll become a second class

00:23:25.300 citizen. You will not be afforded the privileges of the rest of society. Now, the thing about this 0.98

00:23:33.820 ruling class that is not allowed to be questioned is that they're not exactly Plato's philosopher kings,

00:23:40.980 okay? These people who say we need to end democracy, we need to end our constitutional republic,

00:23:48.820 they don't have a whole lot to recommend them. Least of all, the most exalted of those rulers,

00:23:55.780 Dr. Fauci. Dr. Fauci just got caught in a big lie. We covered this yesterday. He lied in testimony

00:24:01.480 before the Senate. He said, when he was asked by Rand Paul, have you funded gain-of-function

00:24:06.940 research? Period. But specifically in Wuhan, he said, Senator Paul, I have never, we do not fund

00:24:15.500 gain-of-function research. Then Rand Paul said, well, actually you have, I have the proof of this. He goes,

00:24:19.920 well, you know, even if we did, it's totally fine, but we, that's not what we do. Okay, Dr. Paul.

00:24:24.620 So now the NIH is involved in a major cover-up because documents have proven that they did in

00:24:31.480 fact engage in gain-of-function research. The National Institutes of Health have just changed

00:24:41.060 their website. Unfortunately for the National Institutes of Health, we have the receipts,

00:24:47.740 which we'll get to in just one second. First though, you know what we do here at The Daily Wire.

00:24:51.980 The Libs cancel people. We hire those people and we bring you their great products. Well,

00:24:57.040 this just happened with Disney. Not even just because of Gina Carano, you know, we're making

00:25:01.800 a movie with her after Disney tried to cancel her, but with Alison Williams, who was a sports

00:25:06.400 reporter for ESPN. ESPN is owned by Disney. Alison Williams refused to take the Fauci-ouchie.

00:25:11.760 She voiced her opinion. ESPN was very upset about this. We think it's great. So she's going to be

00:25:16.380 coming over to The Daily Wire. Here at The Daily Wire, we do not let the leftist ruling class,

00:25:21.720 dictate our content. You dictate our content. So head on over to dailywire.com

00:25:45.900 left takes, you know, 15-minute news shows. They use really quiet voices. They make you,

00:25:51.860 they really calm you down, and then they cram a bunch of leftist propagandists. You say,

00:25:55.040 hello, welcome. This is The New York Times. I'm Michael ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. And the conservatives

00:26:01.240 are bad. And the leftists are really good. And I'm ba-ba-ba-ba with The New York Times. And so

00:26:06.980 we're giving you just the facts in the morning. Tune in. It's a great show. We have beaten them on the

00:26:11.800 charts, which we love. Subscribe. We'll be right back with a lot more.

00:26:27.640 The National Institutes of Health funded gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China.

00:26:34.240 They then lied about this. They lied about funding it, period. And they lied about funding it specifically,

00:26:39.940 of course, in Wuhan. Now they are editing their website to cover up the gain-of-function section.

00:26:47.560 Unfortunately for them, we have the internet. And the internet is forever. So if you go right now

00:26:53.300 to the NIH website to look up gain-of-function, nothing is going to come up. If you go to archive.org

00:26:58.540 to look at the old version of the website, a whole lot is going to be coming up.

00:27:03.320 It's going to talk to you about how gain-of-function research describes a type of research that

00:27:08.600 modifies a biological agent so that it confers new or enhanced activity to that agent. Some

00:27:15.080 scientists use the term broadly to refer to any such modification. However, not all of gain-of-function

00:27:20.520 research entails the same level of risk. And then they go on and have this nuanced discussion.

00:27:25.700 What Dr. Fauci is trying to do right now to avoid demonstrating that he perjured himself

00:27:31.980 is he's trying to say that what he engaged in, which is gain-of-function research, is not really

00:27:37.200 gain-of-function research because he didn't know that it was going to be really bad. What is gain-of-function

00:27:41.660 research? It's when you go in and you modify an agent to make it deadlier or more powerful or more

00:27:47.360 transmissible or enhance its function in any way. It gains function. So Dr. Fauci, what he's trying to

00:27:54.740 say is, no, no, no. If we take a bad coronavirus and we make it way deadlier and way more transmissible,

00:28:01.340 that is not gain-of-function research if we didn't mean to do it. Whoopsie.

00:28:06.800 If we didn't know for certain that that would happen, well, what are you talking about? The whole

00:28:10.300 point of the research is to figure out if you are enhancing its functions, if you are

00:28:16.180 making them more, if you're diminishing the functions, if nothing happens at all.

00:28:21.320 Increasingly, this is looking not just like incompetence. There's plenty of that there.

00:28:26.260 Not just like ignorance. There's plenty of that there. Increasingly, it's looking like

00:28:30.800 a cover-up. That's a cover-up. What do you call it when you go on and change your website

00:28:36.340 and erase all of the information that shows that you lied and perjured yourself? That to me is a

00:28:43.480 cover-up. Dr. Fauci is digging that hole further and further for himself right now. And not only

00:28:51.020 should he be fired, but he should be thoroughly investigated at least. Speaking of covering up,

00:28:58.060 Joe Biden is showing how silly all of these COVID measures are. He was just prattling on and on 0.60

00:29:06.720 about, I don't know, corn pop or something. And then he, well, just take a listen to the clip.

00:29:12.240 So Joe Biden finishes his speech. He coughs into his hand. Now we're told, remember Obama first

00:29:21.980 told us this, you have to cough into your elbow, never cough into your hand, especially during an

00:29:26.440 epidemic, an alleged pandemic. He coughs into his hand and then what's the first thing he does?

00:29:31.300 He shakes people's hands.

00:29:38.720 So all of the people around Joe Biden are wearing masks. Joe Biden is not wearing a mask because the

00:29:43.860 masks are extremely stupid. He then coughs into his hand. That's kind of yucky. And then he 1.00

00:29:49.580 immediately shakes people's hands. And you know what, folks? Everyone in that picture is going to be

00:29:54.720 fine. Biden's going to be fine. The guy whose hand he shook is going to be fine. The stooges in the

00:29:59.400 masks, they'll be fine too. But it does expose the hypocrisy and the frivolity of this. The COVID 0.98

00:30:09.040 hysteria is purely instrumental. The 590th day of 15 days to slow the spread, the purpose of that day

00:30:18.560 is not to protect the public health. It's not to save lives. How dare you killers? You don't want to

00:30:25.020 save lives. It is, as the New Zealand prime minister said, to create a new hierarchy,

00:30:33.380 a segregated society, new classes of people. It is to empower the people who have taken more and

00:30:40.520 more and more of our rights and our freedoms and our way of life over the past year. And people are

00:30:45.960 sick of it. Not just the Republicans, not just the rock-ribbed conservatives, ordinary people,

00:30:51.160 pro athletes, guys like Floyd Mayweather. Floyd Mayweather, who comes out as there is a huge

00:30:56.640 controversy around the basketball player, Kyrie Irving, who won't get the vaccine. He's being

00:31:01.300 benched now. Floyd Mayweather comes out. He says, hey, buddy, great job. Kyrie, what's up? I know

00:31:07.120 you're going through a lot. We had a chance to hang out in 2016 when you represented America,

00:31:12.360 when you represented the red, white, and blue. You only want to be treated fair. You're a great person,

00:31:17.120 great father, a great athlete, and you believe what you believe. America is the land of the free.

00:31:24.440 Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and supposedly freedom to choose. Never be controlled

00:31:30.540 by money. I respect you for having some integrity and being your own man. A free mind makes his own

00:31:36.880 choices, and an enslaved mind follows the crowd. Stand for something or fall for anything. One man can

00:31:43.540 lead a revolution to stand up and fight for what's right. One choice, one word, one action can change

00:31:50.560 the world. It's crazy how people hate you for being a leader. I hope your actions encourage many others

00:31:58.800 to stand up and say enough is enough. Respect to you, Kyrie, and power to the people.

00:32:06.360 Now, I love this message. I'm not going to flatter people though, all right? What Floyd Mayweather just

00:32:14.460 said is a bunch of platitudes. It's a bunch of slogans. Enough. Enough is enough. Power to the

00:32:21.500 people. You're free. Be free, right? It's all this really basic stuff that is not particularly profound.

00:32:27.880 It's not deep political thinking. But I still love this message, and I love the courage that it is

00:32:34.080 taking him to stand up and say this. And I think the GOP has a big lesson that it can learn here,

00:32:39.940 which is when you are going out, when you are conveying a message. I'm not talking about when

00:32:44.040 we have debates. I'm not talking about when we're formulating our plan, when we're strategizing. I'm

00:32:48.780 not even talking about on podcasts such as this, or in think tanks, or in the room of advisors. I'm

00:32:53.480 talking about when you are just communicating your plan for America. Keep it simple, buddy. Be like Floyd

00:33:01.960 Mayweather here, where he says, what do we know? What do we know about the vaccine?

00:33:07.220 It's experimental. It has had side effects. It has killed people. You say in rare cases,

00:33:13.800 but that's why they paused the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. It's because people were dying from

00:33:17.440 blood clots. It does entail risks. All vaccines, all medical interventions entail risks. And for the

00:33:23.720 vast majority of people, the coronavirus is just not that deadly. It's just not that dangerous.

00:33:28.940 For some people, it is. For most people, vast majority of people, it's not.

00:33:34.780 So let's just say, hey, guys, make your own decisions. Hey, be prudent. Hey, guys,

00:33:41.000 we have a tradition in America of people making their own decisions on these sorts of things.

00:33:46.160 The Democrats are going to say, well, actually, you know, if you look at the statistics and you

00:33:49.400 look at the numbers and we know that the scientists all say that the vaccine is totally fine and the

00:33:54.000 blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, right. But we know on a gut level, this is

00:33:57.680 wrong. We know on a gut level when we listen to the prime minister of New Zealand say she's going

00:34:02.280 to segregate her citizens. We know that's wrong. Okay. We don't, we don't like that. We don't want

00:34:06.680 that. Keep it simple. Yeah. We want freedom. Stand up, do what's right. Enough is enough power to the

00:34:13.020 people. I hear you. I hear you, Floyd. I agree. Now there's a higher level of this, which is

00:34:20.820 how do we, beyond the cultural sphere, exercise our political rights when we have them? A lot of

00:34:28.940 Republicans, they just twiddle their thumbs. They don't do anything when they have power. 0.60

00:34:32.480 There's at least one guy down in Florida who is doing a great job. That would be Ron DeSantis.

00:34:38.160 In terms of the governors right now, he's doing better than any other governor in the country.

00:34:42.220 And one of the smartest things he did on coronavirus is not just write executive orders. It's not just give

00:34:47.180 good speeches. He is installing people in important positions who are able to affect his agenda. One of

00:34:55.380 those guys is the new Florida Surgeon General, a guy who is saying this COVID hysteria is ridiculous. 0.79

00:35:03.340 We are not going to buy into it anymore. I've heard some leaders say things like,

00:35:08.960 you know, we'll create safe workplaces by mandating these vaccines. Well, they're really decoupled

00:35:16.000 because the infections can still happen whether people are vaccinated or not. I mean, that's very

00:35:22.620 obvious, you know, and you remember these people were also telling you that all these breakthrough

00:35:27.580 infections that people want, you know, sports stars and celebrities and your neighbors and maybe you

00:35:34.600 were having after you were vaccinated were rare. Well, they're obviously not rare. In fact,

00:35:40.240 they're common. And so and so that's the truth. So this idea that the vaccines are needed to create

00:35:46.020 the vaccine mandates are needed to create safe workplaces is a complete lie. It's continued to be

00:35:52.400 repeated. And you should know that it's not at all backed up by science. In fact, the science says

00:35:58.180 something that's completely the opposite. So that's the fact. So what the Florida Surgeon General is saying

00:36:05.660 right now is something that conservatives have been saying for a very long time. But he has more

00:36:12.800 credibility. OK, Ron DeSantis could have said those very same things. In fact, I'm sure he has said those

00:36:19.100 very same things. But he recognizes he can't go it alone. You've got to play the game a little bit

00:36:24.380 here beyond. I mean, I'm really pleased to hear what this Florida Surgeon General is saying. But beyond

00:36:28.620 that, what it's showing me is that Ron DeSantis has very sharp political skills. It might be

00:36:36.820 ridiculous that we live in the kind of country right now where you need some egghead to tell

00:36:40.620 you basic things, where people are deferring to doctors and bureaucrats. But that's the country we 0.95

00:36:45.040 live in. And so DeSantis is not going to ignore that. He's going to play that game and he's going to do

00:36:50.400 it for good for the good reason. It doesn't hurt. I don't like identity politics. It doesn't hurt that

00:36:57.780 the Florida Surgeon General is a black guy. Why does it not hurt? Because the left is going to 0.90

00:37:03.880 cry, shriek white supremacy. And this is a terrible racist man. And so when he is a black guy, 1.00

00:37:11.860 kind of takes that off the table. I'm not saying we should always give into that. We should always 0.51

00:37:16.080 play that. I'm not saying he was picked because he's black. He's obviously got a very keen insight

00:37:20.300 into this sort of thing. He's obviously a very capable guy with stellar credentials. But from a

00:37:25.500 political perspective, it doesn't hurt. All right. Beyond the virus stuff, this shows me Ron DeSantis

00:37:32.800 knows how to play the game. And this is something that Republicans need to learn the lesson on here.

00:37:37.600 Okay. There are a lot of, to zoom out, forget about the virus for a second, to zoom out. There

00:37:41.520 are a lot of conservatives who say, it is wrong for us to wield the executive agencies when we're,

00:37:47.260 it is wrong for us to govern by executive order. It is wrong for us to have activist judges. It is wrong

00:37:52.820 for us to, because by golly, in my 19th century vision of American government, that is not how

00:38:01.660 things are supposed to be done. We should not have the administrative state. What FDR did,

00:38:06.940 it was awful. What Wilson did, it was terrible. And so we're not going to wield that power.

00:38:13.060 Oh, okay, cool, bro. That's what, well, enjoy play acting, enjoy LARPing, enjoy pretending that we live

00:38:19.160 in a country that has not existed for a hundred years. Because what the libs are going to do is

00:38:23.620 wield power in the country that actually exists today. So they're going to win and we're going

00:38:29.600 to lose. But what are we going to, we're going to lose with dignity, I guess. That's what, that's

00:38:33.540 what these people tell us. Or you can live in the actual political realities that we're, we're in

00:38:42.380 right now. And you can use them to your advantage and try to beat the left. All right, this is a power

00:38:49.920 grab. And politics, it's not exclusively about power, but in many ways it's about power. And so

00:38:58.340 what does that power grab look like? When I first heard that New Zealand prime minister at the top

00:39:04.100 of the show say, you bet, you bet we're segregating people, you bet we're creating new classes of 1.00

00:39:09.620 citizens, you bet we're creating new hierarchies. That's sent to chill down my spine. I thought,

00:39:13.740 are we living in some dystopian future? But, but that was not nearly so spooky as a story that just

00:39:18.800 came out of Hawaii. In Hawaii right now, the government is using robot dogs to patrol homeless camps

00:39:29.180 and, and scan their heads and make sure that none of them have a fever. And if they are,

00:39:37.540 they will intervene as part of the COVID public health tyranny. That is like Terminator stuff.

00:39:45.660 That is like RoboCop stuff. That is stuff that I did not know existed in reality. And apparently

00:39:50.600 it does. These robot dogs are equipped with cameras, two-way communication, artificial intelligence,

00:39:59.540 autonomous data collection capabilities, and scanners that scan your eyes to detect for fevers.

00:40:07.540 Then they interview people who have the fevers and test positive.

00:40:12.500 This is very spooky and it's very inhumane. One, we shouldn't be tolerating homeless camps.

00:40:20.540 We are tolerating them increasingly around New York, around Austin, around Los Angeles,

00:40:28.320 around all these places. But that is inhuman and inhumane. All right. Two,

00:40:36.840 we shouldn't just be interacting with people through robots. James Poulos over at the Claremont

00:40:41.840 Institute, he has this idea that transgenderism, the crazy transgender focus right now, is actually 1.00

00:40:47.380 just a foot into transhumanism. That it's, that it's about transcending our humanity, uploading

00:40:53.960 everything to the cloud. This is, this is wrong. This is the sort of thing, it might be more efficient.

00:40:59.760 And, you know, we've had this debate on the right for a long time. It might be more efficient.

00:41:02.740 It might increase GDP. It might make markets work better, but it's just inhuman. I, here's my bold

00:41:08.800 claim. I don't want to live in a country run by robot dogs. Okay. Speaking of robots, got to get to

00:41:13.700 this clip. I've been putting it off for a few days. I'm not sure that Joe Biden is a human because he,

00:41:21.480 hear me out. He was on CNN just talking to Anderson Cooper. He looked, he looked like a robot. He didn't

00:41:28.240 know what to do with his hands. Take a listen. Just in terms of inflation, because you had told

00:41:32.760 us at a town hall, I think it was in July that the, this was just near-term inflation.

00:41:39.600 So Joe Biden just standing there, got his hands up. He doesn't, it's like, it's like that scene in

00:41:43.920 30 Rock where Alec Baldwin said, I don't know what to do with my hands. Joe Biden doesn't know what to

00:41:47.040 do with his hands. Joe Biden is obviously not all there. Okay. But the scarier part is not just that

00:41:59.140 we have a guy who's doesn't have a whole lot going on between the years running the country. The scary

00:42:02.920 part is the people who are actually running the country, we don't even know their names. Okay.

00:42:06.520 They're just part of the blob. They're just part of the establishment. They're just part of the new

00:42:10.260 ruling class and the new social hierarchy that is taking power more and more and more and more.

00:42:20.460 You're seeing this at the department of the treasury. Janet Yellen right now, the treasury

00:42:26.480 secretary has revealed that this will be, there will be a new counselor for racial equity starting

00:42:34.380 at the department this week. This person is Janice Boldler. Boldler will be charged with

00:42:41.140 coordinating treasury's efforts to advance racial equity, including engaging with diverse communities

00:42:46.040 throughout the country to identify and mitigate barriers to accessing benefits and opportunities

00:42:51.300 with the department. Why do I mention this? I mean, treasury is doing a lot of stuff right now

00:42:57.100 behind the scenes that is messing with our economy there. Janet Yellen is now saying after she told us

00:43:02.240 that the inflation was going to be over within months, it's going to be going on for at least

00:43:05.440 a year, but it's no big deal. Don't worry. It's okay. Why does it matter that they have a counselor

00:43:09.760 for racial equity? Because this is the secular version of a chaplain. Okay. In the old days, 0.88

00:43:17.620 you would have a chaplain to deal with the religious life in ostensibly non-religious circumstances.

00:43:24.880 You have a military chaplain, for instance. Universities have a chaplain. You could have a chaplain

00:43:30.260 in your workplace, depending on what institution you work for. Now we don't have that. At Harvard,

00:43:35.440 the chaplain is an atheist. People were shocked. How could the chaplain be an atheist? Well, because

00:43:41.580 the official religion is now secular. So we don't have Christian chaplains. We have atheist chaplains.

00:43:47.980 And really, the chaplain is the director of diversity and inclusion and equity. That is the

00:43:56.580 religion that transcends the partisan differences. Okay. Sometimes we talk about the regime on this

00:44:02.620 show. What do we mean by the regime? We mean the things about our government that don't change

00:44:09.400 regardless of the election. Maybe the Republican wins. We're still going to have a counselor for racial 0.95

00:44:15.940 equity. Okay. This is just now in the air. It's just the building block. Okay. And this is the thing

00:44:30.980 we need to challenge because this ideology of equity and inclusion and diversity is very contrary to the

00:44:38.580 American idea. Okay. It creates these bizarre intersectional hierarchies and undercuts

00:44:45.340 constitutional government. It takes away a lot of our rights, the authentic right of the people

00:44:49.960 to run their own politics. It's a real threat and it's not going to change unless we, when we are given

00:44:56.940 political power, go at it tooth and nail. Okay. It seems frivolous, but these people mean business.

00:45:04.460 Janet Yellen right now is proposing one of the most radical measures that I have seen 0.97

00:45:09.880 in politics. And because she's kind of boring and because treasury is kind of boring and because 1.00

00:45:14.320 economic stuff is kind of boring, people aren't paying attention to it. Right now, what they are

00:45:18.100 proposing is taxing your assets that have not been realized yet. I think what's under consideration

00:45:28.620 is a proposal that Senator Wyden and the Senate Finance Committee have been looking at that would

00:45:37.460 impose a tax on unrealized capital gains on liquid assets held by extremely wealthy individuals,

00:45:50.540 billionaires. I wouldn't call that a wealth tax, but it would help get at capital gains,

00:45:58.540 which are an extraordinarily large part of the incomes of the wealthiest individuals.

00:46:06.060 And right now, escape taxation until they're realized and often they're unrealized and at death

00:46:14.760 benefit from a so-called step up of basis. So it's not a wealth tax, but a tax on unrealized

00:46:23.720 capital gains of exceptionally wealthy individuals.

00:46:28.600 Now, you know, I make fun of Republicans a lot for only focusing on tax cuts and shrieking every

00:46:33.560 time there's a potential tax hike. What Janet Yellen is proposing here is not just raising taxes a 0.99

00:46:41.700 little bit on the rich. I'm fine with that. I don't care if some woke CEO who has no loyalty to my

00:46:46.640 country and who's peddling a bunch of crap gets taxed more. That's fine by me. I really don't care. 0.99

00:46:50.580 All right. The wealthy in this country seem disproportionately to be Democrats. So that's fine.

00:46:56.140 Tax them, whatever. What is being proposed here, though, is taxing unrealized gains.

00:47:03.260 And the thing about unrealized gains is they're not real. This would be like saying, okay,

00:47:10.380 you've got some stocks and then you're, or let's say you've got Bitcoin or something, right? Or one

00:47:15.940 of these crypto stocks. And then it goes up a lot. So on paper, you've made some money. You haven't

00:47:20.320 actually made the money. You just own some of this stock. What Janet Yellen is proposing is going in

00:47:25.500 to these investments and forcing you to pay taxes on them. But you don't have the cash to pay taxes on

00:47:30.900 them. So you've got to sell the stocks to pay the tax. So what is that going to do to the market?

00:47:39.160 First of all, it'll seriously distort these, the investments period, right? It'll seriously,

00:47:47.120 if everyone come taxis and has to start selling off their whole portfolio to pay for the taxes,

00:47:51.100 that is going to throw the markets into a frenzy. But also it's just a huge power grab

00:47:57.240 because it's not even taking money that you currently have. It's taking, it's taking money

00:48:02.720 that you might have in the future. It's cutting off your ability to make this kind of money

00:48:07.160 at all. All right. And it's, and they're doing it through all of these different measures. All

00:48:12.940 right. They're doing this through the diversity and equity and inclusion ideology that's infiltrating

00:48:18.040 colleges and boardrooms and the government and everywhere. They're doing it through your bank

00:48:22.700 account. They're trying to take your unrealized gains. They're trying to give the IRS the ability

00:48:26.600 to look at all of your bank transactions. If you've got more than 600 bucks in your bank account,

00:48:30.200 that's not the millionaires and the billionaires. That's everybody.

00:48:33.240 They are now going in and telling you, you can't leave your home. They're telling you,

00:48:36.980 you've got to wear this mask. They're telling you, you've got to take the Fauci out here.

00:48:39.460 You'll be segregated. You'll be a second-class citizen. It is a massive power grab to create

00:48:45.060 a new hierarchy. And all societies are going to have hierarchies. The question is, what kind of

00:48:50.080 hierarchy do you want to live in? Do you want to live in something similar to the traditional 0.98

00:48:53.360 American understanding of this, where merit counts, where hard work counts, where the people still

00:48:57.720 have a say in their government? Or do you want to live in the left's world where

00:49:01.740 you are not allowed to question the Dr. Fauci's, where public health is not political, where Janet

00:49:06.940 Yellen is not political, where Joe Biden, for goodness sakes, is not political, and where you

00:49:12.100 are ruled by these radical, radical people, and your position in that hierarchy is determined by

00:49:19.960 just how much you are willing to comply. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show. See you tomorrow.
