Summary
On this episode of The Michael Knowles Show, Michael talks about the recent shooting at a Jewish synagogue in Texas, and why we should all be worried about the rise in Islamophobia in the wake of the attack.
Transcript
00:00:00.000
A Muslim man claiming to have a bomb took a rabbi and three other Jews hostage on Saturday at a
00:00:06.680
synagogue in Texas. Fortunately, the standoff ended with all of the hostages safe, and only
0.79
00:00:12.920
the attacker, dead after law enforcement, stormed the building. There are many lessons to learn
00:00:17.980
from this incident, but the liberal establishment wants us to learn one lesson above all others.
00:00:24.340
That is the urgent need to fight Islamophobia. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:00:38.020
Welcome back to The Michael Knowles Show. I'm Michael Knowles. My favorite comment from Friday
00:00:43.360
is from Virtual Nomad, who says, does the PR for Biden think that allowing Kamala some airtime
00:00:50.440
will make Biden's awful approval ratings seem less concerning? Yes, it does. I know you probably
00:00:58.480
intended that as a joke, but yes, that is the theory. The theory is that Joe Biden is not very
00:01:05.440
popular. He doesn't seem very with it. He doesn't seem like a great president, but he has a vice
00:01:10.880
president who is much less likable than he is. And there have been a number of presidents throughout
00:01:15.140
history who have used this theory, but that's certainly the case. The greatest argument against
00:01:21.220
impeaching Joe Biden is Kamala Harris. You know, that's, you know, in a presidency that has so many
0.96
00:01:29.060
downsides, that's one upside that the president can count on. When you want an upside amid such crazy
00:01:34.700
turmoil, I would strongly recommend you check out GetUpside. Are you spending too much money on gas?

1.00
00:02:55.480
how much I hate to be right in my guesses and predictions and suspicions? But I knew when I saw
00:03:02.080
this story trend and it said hostages taken at a synagogue in Texas, I knew that the guy taking the
00:03:11.660
hostages was not a white guy. I knew it. I knew it. I knew he wasn't a Christian nationalist or a
00:03:20.760
white supremacist. I knew it. I knew he wasn't a white guy at all. I knew he wasn't a Christian at all.
00:03:25.460
Do you know how I knew? Because they didn't specify in the headlines. This is known as Coulter's
00:03:32.300
Law, named after Ann Coulter. Ann Coulter's Law is that the longer it takes the news media to identify
00:03:38.720
a mass shooter in the United States, you can broaden that out to attacker, terrorist, or whatever you
00:03:44.080
like, the less likely it is to be a white male. And that was the case here. I was looking at all of
0.91
00:03:52.520
the headlines. It said, attacker comes. Okay, attacker. What kind? Okay. If it had been a white
0.97
00:03:59.160
guy or a Christian or a Trump supporter or any politically incorrect category, you would have
00:04:06.660
seen that right there in the headlines. So I'm looking and I can't find any details about this
00:04:11.340
guy. Finally, I see British national takes hostages. I said a British national, huh?
00:04:20.260
Something tells me this isn't Lord Engelberberry or something. Something tells me, because they're
00:04:27.560
doing whatever they can to hide the politically incorrect fact that this was a Muslim guy.
00:04:31.920
And so I look and what's the name? Malik Faisal Akram. Okay. Malik Faisal Akram doesn't sound like
00:04:38.920
a Methodist, doesn't sound like a Presbyterian, but they won't because of the threat of Islamophobia,
00:04:44.600
which we'll get to in a second. The FBI then is interviewed after this attack. Fortunately,
00:04:48.480
it has a happy ending. The hostages are released. No one's hurt other than the guy who was committing
00:04:53.380
the attack. The FBI is asked, okay, what motivated this attack? They shrug their shoulders. They say,
00:04:59.440
we have no idea what could have motivated this attack on the synagogue. We do believe from our
00:05:06.840
engagement with this subject that he was singularly focused on one issue and it was not specifically
00:05:12.040
related to the Jewish community, but we'll continue into work to find motive and we will continue on
00:05:18.120
that path. In terms of the resolution of the incident, the hostage taker is deceased. Okay.
00:05:24.580
Okay. Singularly focused on one issue, but we're not going to tell you what that issue is. And don't
00:05:30.040
worry, it's not related to the Jews. And anyway, let's just move on. Well, hold on. You know what
0.53
00:05:34.080
the issue is. You're saying this attacker was singular. He had this one single focus, but take
00:05:39.580
our word for it. We, the FBI, we would never mislead you. We, the FBI don't want it. So let's just do a
00:05:46.780
little Google search. What, what is the issue? Okay. The issue is that, that this attacker wanted to
00:05:53.900
free Aifiyah Siddiqui, who is currently serving an 86 year sentence for attempting to kill U.S. troops
00:06:03.320
and FBI officers. Siddiqui is an Al-Qaeda terrorist. Not only a terrorist, but specifically associated with
00:06:15.160
Al-Qaeda. But this is not related to the Jews, right? You can take our, except, hold on,
00:06:21.540
Siddiqui during her trial for the terrorism, she dismissed her legal defense team because she said
00:06:28.100
that the lawyers were Jews. And she demanded that, she demanded, I kid you not, that the jurors in the
00:06:33.600
trial take DNA tests to prove that they were not themselves Jews, because that would be unfair
00:06:40.360
if they were to judge her. She said, quote, it is this cruel, ungrateful backstabbing of the Jews
00:06:48.220
that has caused them to be mercilessly expelled from wherever they gain strength. This is why
00:06:52.720
holocausts, in quote, keep happening to them repeatedly if they would only learn to be grateful
0.88
00:06:57.020
and change their behavior. And then after her conviction for the terrorism, she said, this is a
00:07:02.640
verdict coming from Israel and not America. That's where the anger belongs. So I'm no forensic
00:07:10.640
investigator. Okay. I'm no, I'm not an FBI officer. I think this might have something to do with the
00:07:17.500
Jews. It might specifically, but we just don't know. How can we know? There just aren't enough,
1.00
00:07:24.680
Joe Biden said this. Joe Biden was asked about the attack. He said, we just don't have enough facts.
00:07:29.760
Do you know why he targeted that specific synagogue? Well, no, I don't. We don't have,
00:07:36.200
I don't think there is sufficient information to know about why he targeted that synagogue,
00:07:45.200
why he insisted on the release of someone who's been in prison for over 10 years, why he was engaged,
00:07:51.640
why he was using anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli comments. We just don't have enough facts.
00:07:58.800
We just don't know. I mean, he told us his reasoning and the terrorist that he was trying
00:08:06.000
to free told us her reasoning and it was pretty clear, but we just got to wait a little longer
00:08:12.220
just to get all the facts. This is Joe Biden, who you will recall accused Kyle Rittenhouse of being a
00:08:20.900
white supremacist in a campaign ad. Kyle Rittenhouse, just based on a little video of him
00:08:26.020
shooting what we now know to be his attackers, his white attackers, by the way, in Kenosha,
00:08:33.480
Wisconsin, Joe Biden says he's a white supremacist. He says, this is an example of white supremacy.
00:08:37.580
Didn't wait for the facts to come out in that case. Kyle Rittenhouse, a white guy, a white kid,
00:08:44.100
actually. But in this case, well, we just don't know. The Muslim terrorist said he didn't like the
00:08:50.360
Jews and the Muslim terrorist who's trying to free said she didn't like the Jews. And then they took
00:08:54.320
a bunch of Jews out, but we don't. If only we had more information. When facts go along with the
0.92
00:09:02.520
liberal narrative, they are promoted. When facts can plausibly be contorted and exaggerated and changed
00:09:12.960
outright even to go along with the liberal narrative, they are promoted. Such as Kyle
00:09:20.300
Rittenhouse was present at a BLM rally, riot, I suppose, and was chased away by people and then
00:09:28.840
he fired back in self-defense. Okay, maybe we can get away with calling him a racist. That's how that
00:09:35.640
works. When facts contradict the liberal narrative, even when they are demonstrable facts, you got it in
00:09:41.480
writing, you got him dead to rights. It's much more frequent that that happens. Those facts are
00:09:46.480
suppressed. That's how it works. Any even hint of a fact or the semblance of a fact that can justify
00:09:57.940
the liberal narrative, you're going to see it on CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, Washington Post, it's going to
00:10:01.300
be everywhere. The president of the United States is going to be promoting it. If a terror attack occurs
00:10:07.860
that contradicts the liberal narrative, it's just going to nothing to see here. Move along,
00:10:11.300
move along, move along. And here's the argument, by the way. The argument is, yes, there are a lot
00:10:19.400
of Muslim terror attacks. Yes, this is a big problem in America and on American interests abroad.
0.93
00:10:26.740
But, but, if we admit that, and it's, it's, I'm, in this case, we're talking about Muslim terror
1.00
00:10:33.300
attacks, but this is true of other issues as well in society, having nothing to do with Muslims or
00:10:37.740
terrorism. The argument is, if we accept and admit certain facts, then Americans will turn into a
0.55
00:10:45.840
savage band of animals, murderous animals, into lynch mobs that will just go around and kill
00:10:52.100
innocent people who happen to have the same race or religion or geography or what have you.
00:10:58.680
So we have to suppress the facts so that those animal Americans don't turn into a roving band of
1.00
00:11:05.680
lynch mobs. Here is what Wajahat Ali, who is a liberal journalist from the Daily Beast,
0.90
00:11:12.080
he tweeted out right away, right after the event. I actually think the terror attack may have still
00:11:16.500
been going on. He tweeted out the important lesson. He said, you're about to hear some ugly
00:11:21.540
and vicious Islamophobia and anti-Muslim bigotry this weekend from elected officials, commentators,
00:11:26.620
and even mainstream media. Hope I'm wrong. People will use it to divide Jewish and Muslim
00:11:30.300
communities for the political agenda. Don't fall for it. This is a man who, if you just search on
00:11:35.560
Twitter, Wajahat Ali Christian, you will see rank, disgusting anti-Christian bigotry. Christianity,
00:11:42.500
the most persecuted religion in the world, but per a study from Pew Research Center and per Common Sense
00:11:49.040
and per historical understanding of the last 2,000 years. You will see hideous bigotry against white
00:11:57.880
guys. You'll hear white Christian nationalism, white Christian supremacy. He says, we've got to
00:12:02.460
get rid of it from, we've got to completely blot it out from the country. These white Christians,
1.00
00:12:06.800
they're such a big problem. Because if we don't, you're going to see the Islamophobia. You're going
00:12:12.320
to see all the terrible oppression of this one group, the only group that it is legal to discriminate
0.98
00:12:17.600
against and that it is socially encouraged to discriminate against. It's the opposite of what
00:12:22.860
we're told is the case. The absolute opposite. Got to clean it up. Got to clean up society from
00:12:30.000
all this nastiness, all this bigotry. When I want to clean my house, I turn to naturally it's clean.
00:12:36.040

00:14:12.880
We'll move on to the political significance of this beyond just the attack on the synagogue in
00:14:20.320
Texas. But what it shows you, what the reaction of the media show you is that their narrative is
00:14:26.620
the opposite of true. Their narrative is that Muslims are being attacked all over the country.
00:14:34.020
Muslims can't go, black people are being attacked all over the country. LeBron James said a black man
00:14:38.740
can't walk outside his door without being hunted down by a racist cop. The argument is that women
1.00
00:14:43.580
and people of aberrant sexual desires and also all these sorts of victim groups, they are really
00:14:50.540
under attack in America. They're so put upon, they're so persecuted. But what the reaction tells
00:14:56.160
you is it's just the opposite. It's just the opposite. There's only one race that it is legal to
0.93
00:15:03.440
discriminate against. Sort of with a slight exception because the Asians also get it too
00:15:07.560
in affirmative action in college admissions. But otherwise, it's white people. You're told that if
00:15:13.940
you're white, you get a privilege, but actually you're at a disadvantage when you're applying to
00:15:17.000
jobs and when you're applying to college. There's only one religion that it is socially acceptable
00:15:21.980
and politically and legally even practicable to discriminate against. What's that?
00:15:27.340
Christianity. It's the only one that it's socially acceptable. There are attacks on the Jews.
00:15:33.180
There are attacks on Muslims. But those are always roundly condemned by all of our political leaders,
00:15:38.600
by every branch of society. The only group that it is socially acceptable and often encouraged to mock,
00:15:45.100
to insult, and to persecute Christians. It's the only one in the West. The only sex that you're
1.00
00:15:52.640
allowed to criticize and attack and insult socially. What is it? It's men who allegedly have all the
00:15:58.480
privilege. The reality is the opposite of what we're being told. Now, speaking of the Jews,
00:16:03.120
there is a gubernatorial candidate in Florida named Nikki Freed. She's the Democrat who's going
1.00
00:16:07.920
up against Ron DeSantis for governor. Nikki Freed has an interesting theory that pertains to the Jews
00:16:14.620
and political persecution. And her theory is that Ron DeSantis is a lot like Hitler.
00:16:22.220
He is doing everything possible to take away power from local governments, taking away people's
00:16:27.000
abilities to protest, making it harder to vote, talking about, you know, banning books. That's what
00:16:34.060
dictators do. Instead of listening and trying to govern with the people, he's trying to govern over the
00:16:39.680
people. And, you know, that I'm sorry. You know, I am a student of history too. I saw the rise of
00:16:45.060
Hitler. I learned of those stories. Are you comparing DeSantis to Hitler? In a lot of ways,
00:16:49.800
yes. I have studied Hitler and how he got to power, you know, wanting his own militia and having his own
0.97
00:16:56.460
There are other states that have one. Absolutely. But the reason why this governor wants it is
00:17:00.660
different than the other states that have been utilizing it for emergency purposes. This governor is
00:17:05.000
doing it for the sole purposes of power and in doing so to make fear and to instill that,
00:17:10.940
to blame people for what is happening in their lives, blaming certain parts of our society and
00:17:15.720
our culture. And that's exactly what Hitler did to the Jews back, you know, during World War II.
00:17:22.360
I'm no PhD in history. Okay. I'm not an academic historian, but I don't think that's exactly what
00:17:30.900
Hitler did to the Jews back during World War II. Correct me if I'm wrong if you're out there and
00:17:35.780
you have more expertise on this. I don't think that the DeSantis policies in Florida, you know,
00:17:43.280
change the curricula a little bit, reform the curricula, keep some businesses open, maybe don't
00:17:48.380
allow the mask mandates. I don't think that's exactly the same thing as what Hitler did to the
00:17:54.940
Jews in World War II. I don't know. I just think there might be some differences, I guess, is what
00:18:01.260
I'm saying. Obviously, this woman is not very intelligent, Nikki Fried, and is not particularly
0.90
00:18:09.320
educated. And she is doing what the entire left and many people on the right do, which is compare
00:18:16.340
everyone they don't like to Hitler. Because Hitler is the only historical figure that they even think
00:18:23.080
they know anything about. And they probably don't even know very much about World War II or the 20th
00:18:28.160
century or dictatorship in the past century. But it's the one that they think they know something
00:18:32.840
about. Hitler, and occasionally they'll reference the fall of Rome. There are more historical events.
00:18:41.180
Most people are not like Hitler. Usually, Hitler comparisons are not particularly illuminating. And it
0.87
00:18:47.240
shows something else as well, which is that no one ever says, this candidate is so bad, he's just like
00:18:57.500
Stalin. This candidate is so bad, he's just like Mao. This candidate, this politician is so bad, he's a lot
00:19:04.860
like Che Guevara. He's a lot like Fidel Castro. Very rarely do you hear those comparisons. You only hear
00:19:12.000
people disparagingly compared to bad political figures who can plausibly be lumped onto the right.
00:19:22.000
Even though, obviously, it's more complicated with the Nazi party because it has elements of
00:19:26.180
the right, but it's also got elements of leftism and it's very modern. And anyway, you could go on for
00:19:30.080
hours about that. But you never hear the comparisons made disparagingly to politicians and dictators and
00:19:38.200
tyrants who are firmly on the left. Because the liberals won. They won. They've won our politics.
00:19:46.040
They rule the country. The conservatives have some modicum of dissent and some slight ability to push
00:19:53.600
back a little bit. But we are clearly the junior partner in the way that this country is ruled. And so
00:19:59.360
all bad things have to be on the right. And no really, really bad things are ever on the left.
00:20:06.580
That's the way that that works. Now, there is some hope here. There is some hope coming back,
00:20:16.560
which is that we are winning some elections and Republicans are finally gaining a spine
00:20:21.200
and courage. And they're pushing back on the liberal policies. Namely, Glenn Youngkin in Virginia.
00:20:29.100
Glenn Youngkin, first day in office. He was just sworn in. First day in office. Bans critical race
0.71
00:20:33.400
theory in schools. Bans mask mandates in schools. And his attorney general fired, I think, 30 some
00:20:40.000
odd officials in that office. And is now very liberal officials who weren't prosecuting crime.
00:20:46.920
And he is now promising to prosecute the criminals who the local George Soros funded DAs are going to
00:20:52.420
let off the hook. This is good. This is really good news from Glenn Youngkin. This is the future of the
00:20:57.320
conservative movement and the Republican Party. It is good in and of itself that Youngkin is doing
00:21:02.960
these things. But it's also a sign of what people want. It's also a sign of where the political winds
00:21:11.420
are shifting. Do not forget, Glenn Youngkin first ran for governor as a standard issue, run-of-the-mill
00:21:18.660
business Republican who promised to cut your taxes and leave you alone. That was the early pitch for his
00:21:24.420
campaign. His campaign only shifted in the final weeks to a culture warrior campaign that focused
00:21:31.520
on critical race theory and transgenderism in schools and the gender-neutral bathrooms. It
00:21:36.480
became this very intense cultural conservative campaign only in the final weeks. And that's what
00:21:41.580
pushed him over the finish line. What got him over the finish line was not a surge in Republican voter
00:21:46.660
registration in Virginia, which is overwhelmingly Democrat. What pushed him over the finish line
00:21:51.280
is parents. Not parents who were concerned about their taxes primarily. Parents who didn't want
00:21:55.820
their kids to be raped in the school bathroom and didn't want their kids to be told that white people
00:22:00.020
are evil because of the way they're born. And kids to be told that little Johnny can become little Jill
00:22:04.380
if he wants to and should be able to mutilate his bodies and pretend to be the other sex.
0.98
00:22:09.500
That's what did it. Culture. And Youngkin realized that. He switched his campaign and he won.
00:22:14.700
He won as a culture warrior. Now he is signaling that he's going to govern like Ron DeSantis.
00:22:19.880
I wonder why. Maybe because Ron DeSantis is the most popular Republican governor in the country
00:22:24.320
and is considered one of the leading presidential contenders in 2024. You think that might have
00:22:28.600
something to do with it? I suspect it will. This actually, this is really good news for the
00:22:33.400
conservative movement and really good news for the Republican party, but it creates a problem
00:22:37.000
for Ron DeSantis, which is right now when you just look at the governors, Ron DeSantis is the only
00:22:42.940
Ron DeSantis. He's the only Republican governor who is really out there in every single national
00:22:49.680
news story, getting his name in it on the right side of the issue, pushing back, leading the charge.
00:22:56.480
As we get closer to 2024, I think you're going to see a lot of Ron DeSantis copycats.
00:23:02.100
And Ron DeSantis deserves credit for being the first guy there.
00:23:06.880
But when you're looking at 2024, what happens if you've got a field where all the governors are Ron
00:23:13.160
DeSantis? The governors and the senators and the congressmen, other people are going to run too,
00:23:16.260
but they're, it's kind of comparing apples and oranges because they just do different things
00:23:20.920
in government. But if you've got a field where all the governors are Ron DeSantis,
00:23:24.180
that's a little tough then to distinguish yourself other than saying I was first.
00:23:28.000
So they're going to have to all keep it up. They're going to have to go further. They're going to have
00:23:30.980
to keep fighting. And this is, though I'm sorry for Governor DeSantis that it might make his campaign a
00:23:36.120
little tougher. This is really great news for the conservative movement in the Republican Party
00:23:39.960
because now all of the political pressure is pushing these governors toward courage, toward the
00:23:47.800
right, toward standing up for true substantive things and not just the same dumb Republican
00:23:52.280
platitudes we've heard for 20 years. Really good news. Speaking of power politics, there was a movie
00:23:58.760
that a lot of people were watching over the weekend and it was trending all around Twitter and things
00:24:03.840
like that. This is The Tragedy of Macbeth. The Tragedy of Macbeth, it was a movie version based
00:24:10.560
on Macbeth by Shakespeare starring Denzel Washington and Francis McDormand. And it was slightly controversial
00:24:17.860
because, as you might recognize, Denzel Washington is not a particularly well-known Scotsman
00:24:23.440
and the play is about a Scottish king. But I decided I was going to sit down, I was going to watch the movie.
00:24:29.880
Joel Cohen, one of the greatest living directors. Denzel Washington, one of the greatest living
00:24:37.000
actors. Francis McDormand, one of the greatest living actresses. And Macbeth, one of the greatest
00:24:40.460
plays ever written. You will be unsurprised to hear it was a very, very good movie. And I thought
00:24:47.260
when I was watching this movie about an extremely corrupt political order that is based on treachery,
00:24:54.500
sometimes outright murder that rips the polity asunder and leads to horrible problems for the
00:25:01.380
whole society, I thought, huh, this might have something to tell us about our country today.
00:25:07.600
Maybe more people, maybe that's the reason they made the movie in the first place. Now, we'll get to more
00:25:14.200
on that in one second. But speaking of movies, I'm very excited to announce the release of The Daily Wire's
00:25:18.620
first original production. We released a movie that had already been made last year and we bought the
00:25:24.540
distribution rights because people were trying to cancel it. So that was our first movie. This is
00:25:28.520
our first original movie. It's called Shut In. It is a seat gripping thriller that will be available
00:25:33.500
to stream in February. It follows the story of a young mother who's barricaded inside a closet by her
0.96
00:25:38.660
violent ex-husband. As she's trapped inside, she uses nothing but her voice to guide her children on the
0.99
00:25:44.980
other side of the walls to safety, all while the threat of her dangerous ex looms. So go check it
00:25:51.240
out. It's really cool. We cannot wait to share the finished product with you. So make sure you catch
00:25:56.540
the final trailer when it drops tomorrow. It's going to be a lot of fun. If you're planning on adding this
00:26:01.940
terrifying thriller to your queue, you want us to keep making that content that the mainstream media do
00:26:06.840
not want to produce, then go like and share the trailer on YouTube. Your support makes all the
00:26:10.880
difference. Also, we're going to have backstage, finally again, DW is one of the first in the
00:26:14.860
nation to file suit against the Biden administration on their unconstitutional
00:26:18.600
OSHA vaccine mandate. Our case made it to the Supreme Court, and we won. Tune in tomorrow night
00:26:24.460
to catch an all-new episode of Backstage where we discuss the outcome of that Supreme Court ruling.
00:26:28.300
It's going to be wonderful. We're going to drink a lot of leftist tears. It's going to be me, Ben,
00:26:32.360
Jeremy, Matt, and Drew, 7 p.m., 6 p.m. central, dailywire.com, or you can stream it on our YouTube
00:26:39.300
channel, Daily Wire. We'll be right back with a lot more.
00:26:58.300
I really loved this movie, The Tragedy of Macbeth. It's kind of an artsy film. It's black and white.
00:27:05.040
It's an ambitious adaptation. It's minimalist in its set design, but it's artsy. So if you don't
00:27:12.880
like artsy movies, this is not going to be the movie for you, but it is one of the greatest plays
00:27:16.580
ever written by the greatest English playwright with some of the greatest living actors and actresses
00:27:21.720
and the greatest director. So it's really wonderful. The one controversy of it was that Denzel Washington
00:27:26.540
obviously is not Scottish. He's a black guy. So should a black guy be allowed to play a white part?
1.00
00:27:33.160
And is this woke? And is this politically correct? The debate over colorblind casting is an extremely
00:27:40.480
complicated one. It's not a simple answer one way or the other, folks. This has been a debate that's
00:27:46.120
gone on for decades. One of the great proponents of colorblind casting was a guy named Bob, is a guy
00:27:51.540
named Bob Brustein, who was the founder of the El Repertory Theater and is a sort of legend in the
00:27:58.460
theater world. He's a white guy. He's a big proponent of colorblind casting, having black people play white
0.67
00:28:03.140
parts and not taking into account of an actor's ethnicity. August Wilson, who's probably the most
00:28:09.240
famous black playwright of the last hundred years, maybe the most famous black playwright in American
00:28:13.460
history, he hated colorblind casting. He said black people should not play white parts. White people
00:28:18.040
should not play black parts. This is insane. Race involves lots of cultural aspects and it's, you can't
1.00
00:28:26.000
suspend disbelief and you shouldn't do it. There's also this double standard now, which is that white
0.78
00:28:31.300
actors are not allowed to play any non-white parts. And if they are, there's a big uproar and the woke
00:28:37.140
people scream about it. White actors are not even allowed to voice non-white parts. The white actor
0.77
00:28:43.600
who voiced Apu on The Simpsons got canceled from the part because you're not allowed to do that anymore.
00:28:48.840
So yes, there's a double standard. It's preposterous. It's silly. However, if you can get past all of the
00:28:55.700
stupid woke stuff and just recognize that Denzel Washington is one of the greatest living actors and his
00:29:00.400
performance in this movie is just incredible, then I think you can tune out all of the noise.
00:29:06.560
Furthermore, you can say that Shakespeare is writing about not specific issues only related to Scotland,
00:29:13.200
but he's writing about the human condition and therefore it makes a lot more sense for a black guy to play
00:29:19.060
that role. Even though it's a Scottish role, really the play is about the human condition. Whereas if you had
00:29:25.240
Denzel Washington starring in the remake of The Sopranos, that probably wouldn't make a lot of sense.
00:29:31.300
The Sopranos is very specifically about an Italian-American family, so it wouldn't make sense to have a non-Italian
0.97
00:29:37.260
actor play that part. Okay, that's a little bit of the controversy around it. The reason I even bring up the movie
00:29:41.740
is because the play is about fate versus free will. And the movie, Joel Cohen really brings this out.
00:29:55.060
Macbeth opens up the play, one of the very first scenes of the play, he's walking up and he sees a
00:29:59.840
bunch of witches and the witches tell him his future and they say, you're going to become king,
00:30:04.120
but you're not going to have a line of kings. And tells his partner Banquo, you're not going to be
00:30:10.320
king, but your kids are going to become king. And this is going to happen and this is going to
00:30:14.680
happen. And Macbeth is struck with this and he says, well, hold on. First of all, do I believe
00:30:19.900
these witches that that's really going to happen? And then he sees some proof that some of their
00:30:22.800
predictions came true. And he says, well, okay, if it's going to happen, then I guess I don't need
00:30:26.020
to do anything. He says, if chance will have me king, why chance may crown me without my star? I'm not
00:30:31.320
going to do anything about it. But then he does do something about it. He says, and mostly because his wife,
00:30:35.880
Lady Macbeth, is just an early version of Hillary Clinton and she's this sort of wicked
00:30:39.740
political character who just impels him and convinces him to kill the king and become king
00:30:45.340
himself. And so he does participate in it, but was that always fated or did he really have free
00:30:50.560
choice? And by the end, he and his Hillary Clinton wife go completely insane. And he's, he's, she
00:30:56.600
becomes extremely depressed. He becomes very depressed. He can't sleep anymore because he killed
00:31:01.340
the king in his sleep. He says, he says, sleep no more. Macbeth does murder sleep. I'll never sleep
00:31:08.060
again because one, he saw the king die in his sleep. And two, because he's, he's wracked by the
00:31:12.080
moral reality of what he's done. He's one of the most famous lines of the entire place is tomorrow
00:31:19.360
and tomorrow and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day to the last syllable of recorded
00:31:23.720
time. And all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death. Out brief candle, life's but
00:31:28.680
a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more.
00:31:33.020
It is a tale told by an idiot full of sound and fury signifying nothing. That's what a lot of
00:31:39.980
people think life is today. That's what they think that it's all just kind of a joke. It's all just
00:31:46.560
kind of a farce, a tale told by an idiot signifying nothing. Our hopes, our dreams, our loves, our joys.
00:31:52.580
It's all just an illusion, man. You know, it's just chemicals firing off in our brain. And it's just,
00:31:58.040
and by the way, if you, if you don't like how you're feeling, just take a pill and then you'll feel
00:32:01.380
better. Or just do, do some other drugs. Or just go have sex with somebody. Or go, some, you know,
00:32:08.560
sort of casual sex. Or just go have a drink. Or just go play video games. Or just plug into the
00:32:13.000
metaverse. Or just, just give yourself pleasure. Because that's all it is. It doesn't mean anything.
00:32:18.240
But what Macbeth and his wife realize after they've committed this horrible sin
00:32:21.640
is that the sin really does mean something. Another one of the most famous lines is you've got Hillary
00:32:26.440
Clinton there, Lady Macbeth. And she's saying, out, damned spot. Out. She's trying to rub out the
1.00
00:32:31.220
blood. Rub out what she's done. But she can't. She can't forget it. Macbeth can't sleep because he
00:32:37.400
can't forget what he actually did. Because it does signify something. It does. Life actually does
00:32:42.340
matter. The things we do. There is a moral universe. And we're living in an age where we try to blot all
00:32:47.140
that out. And we say that everything is just about power. The left says that politics is just
00:32:53.160
different interest groups. And usually they push interest groups on racial or sexual lines.
00:32:58.760
It's just them vying for power. And there's no sense. And there's no order. And there's no truth.
00:33:02.080
And there's no justice. And there's no goodness. It's just interest and power. And frankly,
00:33:05.600
you have people on the right saying almost the same thing. It's amazing that it's the conservatives
00:33:09.260
who for the past 30 years have said all life is about is money. And just boosting GDP and cutting
00:33:13.840
taxes. And you do you. And we're not going to legislate morality. And don't yuck my yum.
00:33:20.320
And who's to say what's good? I mean, they sound just like the liberals. And they all sound like
00:33:24.780
Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. And that's why we live in a crappy country right now.
00:33:28.960
Because we need to recognize that life actually does signify something. That's how we will have
00:33:33.840
better sleep. That is how we will have a better country. That is how we will rub out that damn spot
00:33:38.580
is by recognizing that there's a moral order. There is sin. There is grace. There is truth.
00:33:43.100
There is falsehood. There is goodness. There is evil. And there is redemption if only we seek it.
00:33:49.100
Speaking of madness. Speaking of madness. There's a viral video going around of a gal who
1.00
00:33:56.520
is going to transition. She's going to have the gender surgery. She's a woman now, but she's going
0.99
00:34:02.940
to make herself look more like a man. Because she says that the men who are living in her brain
0.60
00:34:07.320
want that. So she doesn't want that. She, the woman, but the men living in her brain
0.99
00:34:12.000
do want her to do that. And so that's what they are going to do.
00:34:16.000
So I'm a member of a DID system. And for me right now, that means that in the coming months,
0.82
00:34:20.500
I am going to be able to watch some of my best friends and some of my closest companions get
00:34:24.200
the body of their dreams that matches their gender, that makes them feel happy. And in exchange,
00:34:29.000
I'm going to have to give up my own. I'm cisgender. The majority of my headmates aren't.
00:34:33.280
And we've decided to transition. Which means that as happy as I am for the men in my system,
00:34:37.900
I am about to have to watch myself go through the wrong puberty. And it's going to be permanent.
00:34:45.260
I don't think we talk enough about how DID gets rid of a person's bodily autonomy.
00:34:49.100
You know, I hear people say all the time, the one thing you have control over is your own
00:34:51.880
body and your own reactions. And I don't have that. This isn't my body. These aren't my reactions
00:34:57.200
or my memories. I have like 30 people living in my brain and everything I do belongs to us
00:35:01.900
as a group. That's what's so hellish about this disorder. My parents f***ing up. And now I will
00:35:06.900
never have full bodily autonomy. Anyways, everybody say congratulations to the men in my system because
00:35:12.800
they get to transition and we're happy for them. So this woman, and I say this with as much
00:35:19.920
sympathy as there is in the world, is completely insane. And she is acknowledging that. She's saying,
00:35:25.200
I have this mental condition called DID. I googled DID. DID is a dissociative identity disorder.
00:35:34.680
So multiple personalities all floating around in her imagination. And she says that a lot of them
00:35:41.220
are men and the men want her to mutilate her body. In the olden days, this was attributed to more
0.79
00:35:49.440
spiritual causes. You might recall reading in the Bible when you go up to someone and they start
00:35:54.500
speaking with multiple personalities and they say, we are legion and this was considered not a very good
00:35:59.000
thing and something to be fixed rather than indulge. Today, we indulge it. And so this woman says,
00:36:06.740
I've got 10 different men living in my brain and therefore I'm transgender and we're going to change
1.00
00:36:14.660
my body. When she goes to the doctor and says, I've got 10 men living in my brain. The doctor says,
00:36:20.380
okay, well, you've got this disorder, dissociative identity disorder, and we're going to treat that
00:36:25.080
disorder. She says, okay, and I'm transgender. I'm really a man. And the doctor says, oh, well,
00:36:30.400
okay, let's chop you up then. Why? Why are we acknowledging that one of these mental illnesses
0.94
00:36:36.660
is a mental illness and why are we pretending that the other one is perfectly normal and just an
1.00
00:36:42.860
ordinary aspect of one's identity? If a single person walks up and says, I'm actually 10 people,
00:36:52.000
we acknowledge, for now at least, we acknowledge that that's not true and crazy and you should
00:36:57.060
treat that. But if a woman walks up and says, I'm actually a man, we, until three or four years ago,
00:37:05.340
we would say, no, that's not true. That's crazy. And we would try to treat that. Now we just say,
00:37:09.180
okay, buddy, let's go hunting. Let's go, let's, let's do it, pal. You want to go play a round of
00:37:15.720
golf? Doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to me. Why is one of these crazy and the other one
00:37:21.280
legitimate? They were both in the DSM. They were both in the, in the catalog of mental illnesses until
00:37:27.840
very recently. How come one of them got taken out? Because transgenderism is ideologically and
1.00
00:37:34.920
politically convenient for the left in this country. And so we're turning something that is
00:37:39.520
manifestly a disorder into a political tool. Fairly disturbing. Speaking of disturbing
00:37:46.360
videos going around to the internet, there's an even more disturbing one, if you can believe it,
00:37:52.820
than, than the woman with multiple demonic figures in her head. That would be a kid who was on TikTok
00:37:59.580
with his mother and said that his mother is going to make him join the LGBTQ community.
00:38:06.900
Does your mom say you have to be LGBT? No. No, I can, she's what I want to be, but some, but.
00:38:14.260
Hold on. Go ahead, Lex, go ahead. Keep talking. Say what you're saying.
00:38:17.880
My mom doesn't matter if I'm a, if I am gay or lesbian or any of that, she doesn't care. All she cares
00:38:26.220
about is that I'm a part of it. And if I'm not a part of it, she'll try to convince me to join it
00:38:33.180
because I. What? Are you sorry right now? Facts. That I would convince you to join what? The LGBTQIA+.
00:38:40.820
This is bad. Obviously we're blurring the kids' faces, unlike this abusive mother who's putting
0.95
00:38:47.500
her kids on the internet for her own edification and pleasure and gain. But you, you can see when
00:38:55.200
the kid starts to answer this question, the other kid looks at the mother and says, ooh, and the other
00:39:00.080
kid, he puts his hand, he says, don't, maybe don't answer that. And the kid says, no, it's okay. It's
00:39:04.280
just my mom, she doesn't care if I'm a lesbian or gay or transgender or whatever. She just wants me to
00:39:08.720
be one of them. I've just got to be part of it. I've just got to be in some way part of the LGBT
00:39:13.260
community. And then the mother says, huh, wait, hold on. She realizes this answer is not going the
00:39:17.660
way she wanted it to when she put her kids on screen. And she says, what are you talking about?
00:39:23.520
What are you saying? He says, facts. Obviously you want me to do that. And so this was put out by
00:39:28.820
Libs of TikTok, which is now reporting that the mother is apparently quite involved in the LGBTQ
00:39:33.860
community and has some kind of romantic relationship with some kind of transgender type.
00:39:38.260
So she's obviously promoting this sort of stuff. People are shocked that the kid would say this.
00:39:45.060
People are shocked that a mother would do it. I'm not shocked at all. Being in the LGBT LMNOP
0.73
00:39:52.540
community carries social currency. I know that the liberal establishment pretends that to be in the
00:40:00.520
LGBT LMNOP comes with lots of sacrifice and terrible burdens and that you're actually a persecuted
00:40:07.640
minority. But that's not the case. Every power center in this country promotes LGBTQ. If you
1.00
00:40:17.260
disparage LGBTQ, even the T, which is the craziest part of all, if you disparage that, you will be
0.98
00:40:28.880
censored often. You will be deplatformed often. You could face professional repercussions. You could
00:40:34.620
be fired. You could be kicked out of school. Depending on exactly how you do it, you might
00:40:39.700
face some criminal penalties. You can't do that. You're not allowed. It's one of the most protected
00:40:45.740
groups in the country. Actually, the only group that you are allowed to discriminate against legally,
00:40:53.460
the only group, sexual group that you're allowed to and encouraged to publicly insult and attack is
00:41:00.440
what? It's straight people. That's it. It's the opposite of what the libs are telling us. On race,
00:41:07.920
on sex, on religion, on the entire political order, all of the powerful institutions are telling you,
00:41:15.380
this group is really persecuted and this group is doing the persecuting. And so, well, what's the
00:41:23.640
effect of that? The effect of that is when all of the power centers are smearing one group and are
00:41:28.780
lauding another group and protecting another group and giving advantage to another group, then the
00:41:36.680
groups are actually flipped. Then the one that we're told is persecuted is not. It's powerful. And the one
00:41:41.940
that we're told is powerful is actually persecuted. That's the way these things work. Speaking of bad
00:41:50.820
moms, the New York Times has another distressing story. This also, this really also kind of comes
00:41:59.800
back to Macbeth, to our Macbeth culture, to Lady Macbeth in particular. The New York Times is defending
00:42:07.220
moms abandoning their kids. This is from the culture section. So they're talking about all these new
00:42:14.940
movies where moms are just leaving their kids and all these new stories and books where moms abandon
00:42:20.220
their kids. They write, the mother who abandons her children haunts our family narratives. She's
00:42:24.580
made into a lurid tabloid figure, an exotic exception to the common deadbeat father. Or she
00:42:30.940
is sketched into the background of a plot, her absence lending a protagonist, a propulsive origin
00:42:35.980
story. This figure arouses our ridicule. Ridicule, consider Meryl Streep's daffy American president
00:42:41.160
in Don't Look Up, who forgets to save her son as she flees the apocalypse. Or our pity, see
00:42:46.680
parallel mothers where an actress has ditched her daughter for lousy television parts.
0.55
00:42:50.220
But lately, the vanishing mother has provoked a fresh response. Respect. Because they say the
00:42:56.440
one thing a mother cannot do in our culture, the one thing she cannot do, the thing that is so taboo
0.98
00:43:01.180
it rivals actually murdering her offspring, is leave. Now the argument doesn't seem to make a lot of
00:43:07.960
sense because they're referencing movies that still look on the mother abandoning her children
00:43:12.520
with scorn and pity, like Meryl Streep's movie where she abandons her son. Meryl Streep is not exactly
00:43:18.000
a sympathetic figure in Don't Look Up, which I did a review of, by the way, that you can catch on
00:43:21.680
YouTube. But why is this? Why is it that mothers abandoning their children arouses our scorn and our
00:43:30.220
pity and our heartbreak? Is it just our prejudice? Is it just our sexism? Or is it that mothers
00:43:39.140
abandoning their children horrifies us because it is horrifying? Is it different when a mother
00:43:47.600
abandons her kid than when you have a deadbeat dad? Deadbeat dads are also looked on with scorn
00:43:52.100
and disdain and pity. But it's different. I grant you it's different. Is it that mothers who abandon
00:43:58.840
their kids are looked on as different than dads who abandon their kids because moms and dads are
00:44:02.940
different? Yeah, that's how human beings have understood moms and dads for all of recorded
00:44:08.400
history everywhere in the world until five minutes ago because now we have to pretend that moms and
1.00
00:44:13.680
dads are exactly the same. We're doing my show from home right now because global warming reared its
00:44:20.180
ugly head in Nashville and so the whole city is covered in ice. And because Nashville is not
00:44:24.780
accustomed to snow and doesn't know how to deal with it, a little bit of ice means we do our shows
00:44:28.720
from home. Okay, so I've got my wife and my child outside of my office here. I play around with my
00:44:36.120
kid. I go see the kid during the day. You know, I want to Gucci-go him and he likes it. It's full play
00:44:40.160
for a little bit. But you know what he likes more than hanging out with dad? He likes hanging out with
00:44:45.080
mommy. And when he's just sort of sitting, playing, having fun, then he'll play with dad. But when he
00:44:50.780
really wants something, when he's in distress, when he's hungry, when he's tired, when he just wants
00:44:55.380
comfort, do you know where he turns? He doesn't turn to daddy. He turns to mommy because mommy and
00:44:59.360
daddy are different. We're physically different. We're different in our relation to the baby.
00:45:03.740
We're different spiritually, metaphysically, emotionally. We're just different, okay? But
00:45:08.740
since the sexual revolution, we've had to pretend that men and women are exactly the same.
00:45:13.060
You saw this first with the second wave feminists who said a woman needs a man like a fish needs a
1.00
00:45:17.500
bicycle, said all of the virtues now are masculine virtues. All of the feminine virtues are trash,
1.00
00:45:22.700
so women have to go work in the widget factory just like men. And any woman who wants to stay
1.00
00:45:27.120
home should not be allowed to do it. That's what Simone de Beauvoir, one of the most prominent
0.99
00:45:30.400
feminists of that era, said. She said women can't even be given that choice because too often they'll
1.00
00:45:34.800
take it and then they won't be liberated. So it starts with the second wave feminists. It moves on to the
1.00
00:45:39.220
gay rights movement, which says that men and women are exactly the same. And once we accepted that
00:45:43.820
premise, then almost inevitably you were going to redefine marriage because if men and women are exactly the
00:45:48.680
same, then the union of one man and one woman is exactly the same as the union of one man and one
00:45:52.620
man. It's exactly the same as the union between one woman and one woman. But once you accept that,
0.85
00:45:57.620
then you've got to accept transgenderism because if men and women are exactly the same, then there's
00:46:01.420
no reason that a man can't become a woman and a woman can't become a man. Women tried to transform
1.00
00:46:06.540
themselves into men in the 1970s. They did it without the surgeries usually, but they certainly did it
00:46:12.880
socially. They certainly did it emotionally. They tried at least. And so when you've got the technology
00:46:19.200
to chop people up and make them look a little bit more like the other sex, why would you not do that
1.00
00:46:23.320
too? And now you've got the culture lauding mothers who abandon their kids. Because why? Because men and
0.98
00:46:32.540
women are exactly the same. I don't think they would laud fathers who abandon their kids, by the way,
1.00
00:46:36.280
but they would laud mothers for doing that. Also because the power and the privilege are not exactly
00:46:41.360
what the liberal establishment tells us. But this is evidence that something has gone horrifically wrong
00:46:46.840
in society. And it's a consequence of sexual confusion. And it's a consequence, by the way,
00:46:51.880
of an obsession with individualism that does not merely exist on the left. It exists on the right
00:46:56.820
as well. You see it on the left where they say that anyone's individual appetites, especially sexual
00:47:02.880
appetites, but others as well for drugs and food and all sorts of things, should be indulged and none of
00:47:08.920
them are wrong. This is why you see the movement for fat positivity and sex positivity and all the rest of
00:47:14.000
it. Drug legalization. And you see it on the right as well. You see it on the right with money. You
00:47:22.600
see it on the right even with certain kinds of behavior. You leave me alone. You do you. If it
00:47:27.880
doesn't affect me, if it doesn't scare the horses in the street, then you can do whatever you want.
00:47:31.920
That's not my business. Just cut taxes and do whatever you want behind closed doors. None of that
00:47:37.280
is conservative. None of that is conducive to a good polity. It's just not going to work. Now, speaking of
00:47:43.260
scientific reality, I've got to get to one story because I think it's so important that we all
00:47:48.180
rally the troops here. Joe Rogan is under fire. The libs are trying to cancel Joe Rogan. Joe Rogan
00:47:56.560
is under fire because he is giving a platform to scientists who dissent from the liberal establishment.
00:48:05.460
People like Robert Malone, Dr. Robert Malone, who helped to develop mRNA technology, who's now
00:48:09.540
skeptical of the vaccines. So anyway, there is now a petition, an open letter from 300 scientists
00:48:15.740
telling Spotify to get rid of Joe Rogan. So we took a little look into these 300 scientists.
00:48:21.460
It's a great Luke Rudkowski posted some of them. Let's see. We've got the director of research at
00:48:27.520
Grasshopper Farms, Cole Creighton. We've got Colleen Tricartan-Frost. She's a dentist. We've got
00:48:32.140
Courtney Kennedy, a physician's assistant. We've got Crystal Pawula, a nurse practitioner. We've got
00:48:38.180
Daniel Jones, a consultant. We've got Daniel Levitt, a postdoc. So these aren't exactly
00:48:48.100
specialists. They're not exactly the top scientists in their field. Some of them are dentists.
00:48:52.360
They'll say, Joe Rogan's not a scientist. Sure. But the scientists that he interviews are.
00:48:56.960
The problem is, because they dissent from the liberal establishment, they're unpersoned.
00:49:02.600
They're no longer scientists. Joe Rogan is far right now. Joe Rogan is on the left. But Joe Rogan
00:49:09.540
is far right now. People like Glenn Greenwald, far right now. Far right doesn't mean you're on
00:49:15.760
the right wing. It doesn't mean you're conservative. It just means you dissent
00:49:19.980
from the established liberal orthodoxy, which is presenting to you a reality that is completely
00:49:28.200
different from the way things actually are. And people, they see it when the FBI comes out and
00:49:34.460
says the Muslim terror is screaming about Jews. We don't know his motive. You can see it when Dr.
00:49:39.180
Fauci admits that he was lying about some aspect of COVID or the whole public health establishment
00:49:45.280
changes. You can see it, but then we keep going on. We just keep going on. And I think people are
00:49:49.200
waking up a little bit to that delusion. But there is no way that we are going to have a good society,
00:49:55.860
that we're going to have a flourishing, a free, an equitable, a just society if we continue to
00:49:59.540
indulge delusions, whether they're at the national level or whether they're at the personal level of
00:50:03.420
pretending that men are women. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show. See you tomorrow.
