The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 923 - An Inconvenient Muslim Terror Attack

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?

00:01:40.480 If you live in America right now, yes, chances are you are probably spending a little more money

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 0.78

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 0.96

00:06:48.220 that has caused them to be mercilessly expelled from wherever they gain strength. This is why 0.53

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. 0.92

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 0.99

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. 0.96

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 0.97

00:10:52.100 innocent people who happen to have the same race or religion or geography or what have you. 0.97

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, 0.99

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 0.99

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 1.00

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.

00:14:12.880 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 0.99

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.98

00:23:47.800 right, toward standing up for true substantive things and not just the same dumb Republican 0.96

00:23:52.280 platitudes we've heard for 20 years. Really good news. Speaking of power politics, there was a movie 0.94

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.

00:26:44.860 Welcome back to the show.

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 0.72

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 0.96

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 0.98

00:29:00.400 performance in this movie is just incredible, then I think you can tune out all of the noise. 0.99

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 0.99

00:30:39.740 political character who just impels him and convinces him to kill the king and become king 0.98

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 0.56

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 0.94

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. 1.00

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 1.00

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. 1.00

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. 0.91

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. 0.99

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, 0.99

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, 0.96

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 0.79

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. 0.96

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. 0.84
