The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 938 - The Breaking Bad Rule

00:00:00.000 The disgraced former president has lobbed another attack on our sacred democracy when he suggested

00:00:05.760 that the recent election was stolen and that the winner was not legitimate.

00:00:10.600 And that disgraced former president's name is Jimmy Carter.

00:00:14.280 There's no doubt that the Russians did interfere in the election.

00:00:17.600 And I think the interference, although not yet quantified, if fully investigated, would show

00:00:22.640 that Trump didn't actually win the election in 2016.

00:00:25.720 He lost the election and he was put into office because of the Russians' interfere on his behalf.

00:00:33.080 So do you believe President Trump is an illegitimate president?

00:00:39.380 Based on what I just said, which I can't retract.

00:00:46.180 Behold the face of insurrection.

00:00:48.980 The dangerous 150-year-old demagogue who dares to question our never corrupt

00:00:54.140 and always pristine electoral process, Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, and Jimmy Carter

00:01:01.140 have now officially all refused to accept the results of the same number of elections.

00:01:07.400 When you look beyond presidential candidates to congressmen and governors,

00:01:11.420 Terry McAuliffe, the sainted John Lewis who rejected the results of at least two presidential elections,

00:01:16.960 the crowd gets a lot bigger and skews, by the way, to the left.

00:01:20.100 But the Democrats' fear-mongering about insurrections and coup d'etat was never legitimate.

00:01:26.120 It was always merely a way to justify the censorship and ostracism of half of the country.

00:01:32.780 And unfortunately, it seems to be working.

00:01:35.320 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:01:36.120 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:37.020 Welcome back to the show.

00:01:45.380 My favorite comment from Friday is from SquidVet, Ohio, who says,

00:01:50.980 Hitler watching The View on Hell's streaming service must be wondering what he's got to do 0.90

00:01:56.840 to prove that he's not a racist.

00:01:58.840 That is true.

00:01:59.920 That's a true comment, and it's especially true because The View is playing 24-7 in hell.

00:02:08.100 That is the only program on hell's streaming service, and that is one of the many torments

00:02:15.540 that the damned must endure. 0.98

00:03:42.940 Speaking of the insurrection, you know, the January 6th, the greatest insurrection in

00:03:48.420 American history.

00:03:49.200 There is some footage that's been going around the internet the past few days that I think

00:03:53.960 most people probably have not seen.

00:03:56.040 This is from the very heart of the insurrection in the Capitol, starring the guy in the horn

00:04:03.140 hat.

00:04:03.440 So this is the leader, one of the most notable faces from that near coup d'etat that almost

00:04:10.720 took down our government.

00:04:12.220 Viewer discretion is advised.

00:04:15.820 Take a look at what nearly took down our government.

00:04:19.660 Hey, man.

00:04:21.340 Glad to see you guys. 0.76

00:04:22.740 You guys are f***ing patriots. 0.94

00:04:23.880 Look at this guy. 0.99

00:04:24.440 He's got covered in blood.

00:04:25.500 God bless you.

00:04:27.100 Yes.

00:04:28.380 You good, sir?

00:04:29.260 Do you need medical attention?

00:04:30.360 I'm good.

00:04:30.860 Thank you.

00:04:31.280 All right.

00:04:31.580 I got shot in the face.

00:04:35.300 Where are you? 0.88

00:04:36.940 I got shot in the face with some kind of plastic bullet.

00:04:39.820 Any chance I could get you guys to leave the Senate wing?

00:04:42.820 We will.

00:04:43.480 I've been making sure they ain't disrespecting the place.

00:04:45.720 Okay.

00:04:46.100 Just want to let you guys know this is like the sacred place.

00:04:49.320 So you got the cop walking in with these guys.

00:04:52.800 You got a few of the alleged insurrectionists, including the horn hat guy.

00:04:57.540 The cop is walking in.

00:04:58.460 He's like, hey, guys, you mind?

00:04:59.480 And maybe just, if you don't mind, could you come off the podium thing?

00:05:03.260 Okay.

00:05:04.000 All right.

00:05:04.540 That's fine.

00:05:06.800 Does not exactly look like a revolution to me.

00:05:10.880 Does not look like an insurrection.

00:05:12.320 Does not look like a coup d'etat.

00:05:14.660 Does not look particularly violent or dangerous.

00:05:17.980 It looks relatively orderly as far as these things go.

00:05:22.160 And there was a cop there escorting them the whole time.

00:05:25.700 Looks to me like January 6th and all of the legal threats and all of the congressional investigations and the whole hullabaloo was almost entirely a media creation.

00:05:40.040 If you asked 100 people on the street what happened on January 6th, I bet 99 of those people would tell you there was a violent, you know, terrible insurrection at the Capitol.

00:05:55.060 I bet maybe a few people would be more skeptical.

00:05:56.700 But I doubt a single person, maybe one person, would tell you that it looked like that.

00:06:03.820 Just a bunch of jokesters kind of walking around, not attacking police officers really, certainly not killing police officers, not attempting to overthrow the Constitution, not writing laws, none of that.

00:06:17.140 Meanwhile, there was an insurrection that very year, right, within the year of January 6th, there was an actual insurrection called BLM and Antifa.

00:06:29.320 Went on for eight months or so.

00:06:31.100 There were autonomous regions declared in different cities in America.

00:06:35.380 There were dozens of people killed in political violence by BLM.

00:06:39.260 There were federal buildings attacked and it went on city after city after city.

00:06:43.100 But we were told that was mostly peaceful.

00:06:44.760 There's a wonderful story just out of Tennessee, actually, out of my new home state.

00:06:49.740 A Black Lives Matter chapter founder in Tennessee was just sentenced to six years in prison for illegally registering to vote while serving probation.

00:07:00.940 According to the criminal court judge, you tricked the probation department into giving you documents saying you were off probation.

00:07:08.420 Why was this woman on probation? 0.97

00:07:10.320 She was on probation, Pamela Moses, because in 2015 she was found guilty of a number of felonies, including tampering with evidence, forgery, misdemeanor charges of perjury, stalking, theft under 500 bucks, and escape.

00:07:21.680 So, the reason that I really love this story, the reason this story is so delicious, is because it knocks down two sacred leftist narratives.

00:07:34.280 One, that BLM is not run by criminals.

00:07:38.380 Two, that there is no illegal voting.

00:07:40.620 And in this case, you've got the criminal BLM chapter founder illegally registering to vote because both of those things are true. 1.00

00:07:49.440 BLM and Antifa are run by criminals and they are criminal enterprises and they commit lots of crimes.

00:07:57.780 And two, there is obviously lots of illegal voting.

00:08:00.840 This is why when the Democrats tried to pass their federal election takeover as the first order of business for the House of Representatives and for the Senate, HR1 and S1,

00:08:11.660 they, at one, and out of one side of their mouth, they said that illegal aliens will not be registered to vote.

00:08:17.380 You won't have more illegal voters.

00:08:18.680 And then out of the other side of their mouth, they said, and when illegal aliens are registered to vote, they'll be given legal amnesty.

00:08:24.320 They won't be, they won't be prosecuted for that.

00:08:27.140 Well, hold on.

00:08:27.580 If they're not going to be illegally registered, why do you need to give them amnesty for it?

00:08:30.460 Because obviously it is.

00:08:32.220 The narratives that we have been told are not true.

00:08:35.580 Which brings us to Joe Rogan, which is actually probably the biggest news of the day. 0.96

00:08:42.740 Joe Rogan is a dangerous, dangerous racist disinformation peddler. 0.50

00:08:51.280 He wasn't any of those things a week ago, but now the left has decided he is all of those things because he has positioned himself, 0.92

00:08:58.160 not even with the conservatives, just sort of against the left-wing narrative.

00:09:02.060 Joe Rogan is a liberal.

00:09:03.540 He's a full-on liberal.

00:09:04.800 He's not a conservative.

00:09:05.940 But he is contradicting some of the leftist narratives.

00:09:09.380 And so now Joe Rogan's got to go, according to them.

00:09:12.280 So the mob makes up its own narratives. 0.96

00:09:14.560 Facts be damned.

00:09:15.440 First, they tried to get him on COVID disinfo. 0.93

00:09:18.500 The problem is that Joe Rogan has been more correct about COVID than Dr. Fauci, Joe Biden, and Rochelle Walensky combined.

00:09:24.220 So they couldn't really get him on that.

00:09:25.660 So what did they do?

00:09:26.580 They dug up some old clips of his show in which he was quoting people using the N-word, and they called him a racist.

00:09:33.220 They tried to, this is always what they do.

00:09:35.420 They insinuated that he was a racist.

00:09:37.200 And, unfortunately, Joe has sort of kind of apologized.

00:09:43.980 Hello, friends.

00:09:46.800 I'm making this video to talk about the most regretful and shameful thing that I've ever had to talk about publicly.

00:09:54.500 There's a video that's out that's a compilation of me saying the N-word.

00:09:58.940 It's a video that's made of clips taken out of context of me of 12 years of conversations on my podcast, and it's all smushed together, and it looks f***ing horrible, even to me.

00:10:11.760 Now, I know that to most people, there is no context where a white person is ever allowed to say that word, never mind publicly on a podcast.

00:10:22.560 And I agree with that now.

00:10:24.120 I haven't said it in years, but for a long time, when I would bring that word up, like if it would come up in conversation, instead of saying the N-word, I would just say the word.

00:10:36.340 I thought as long as it was in context, people would understand what I was doing.

00:10:40.880 Like that context was part of the clip we were talking about Red Fox, how Red Fox said that word on television in the 1970s, and how times have changed so much since then.

00:10:51.100 So he's explaining why he did it, the explanation's perfectly fine, but then he's apologizing too, and he's trying to split this baby, and he's trying to see if he can put this cancel mob back into Pandora's box.

00:11:03.560 I don't think it's working, and I think Joe Rogan's got to be very careful here, because this is going to have huge effects, not just for his show, but actually, the Joe Rogan podcast, the way he behaves now, is going to have huge effects for free speech in America.

00:11:21.400 That's very scary. There's a lot of downsides to this culture, this cancel culture, which is why I would recommend you get Upside.

00:11:29.820 Gas is going through the roof. It's very, very expensive, and I can save you 25 cents per gallon every time you fill up.

00:11:38.860 That's actually, that's not true. I want to correct myself. I can actually get you 50 cents per gallon cash back on your first fill up when you download the free Get Upside app.

00:11:51.400 You get the free Get Upside app. You use promo code Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S. You will get 50 cents per gallon cash back on your first fill up, and you'll get 25 cents per gallon on every fill up you make after that.

00:12:16.540 You can go to PayPal, however you prefer. It's very, very simple. People who drive a lot are getting $200 to $300 per year cash back right now.

00:12:25.460 Download the free Get Upside app. Use promo code Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S, to get 25 cents per gallon or more cash back on your first tank. That is code Knowles.

00:12:33.540 Knowles. Joe Rogan is apologizing for using the N-word, the word. He didn't say the N-word. It's confusing because it's the only word you're not allowed to say, but he didn't say the N-word.

00:12:44.920 He said the N, you know, the word, the actual, the N-word. Okay. When he was quoting, he didn't say it in anger. He didn't say you.

00:12:50.260 He was just quoting other people or discussing the context of it. And he did this many times over the years and no one ever had any problem with it until the liberal establishment wanted to go after Joe Rogan for having the audacity to question the exalted Dr. Fauci, who has been completely wrong about almost everything with the coronavirus.

00:13:09.900 And so because Joe Rogan now demonstrably has a better record on COVID than the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, because of that, now they're digging up old clips out of context and trying to insinuate that Joe Rogan hates black people or something like that.

00:13:24.800 And the problem is, Joe is sort of apologizing. As a general rule, apologizing for out of context remarks to people who have not been offended by them and who do not care is neither helpful nor good. It's not even the right thing to do.

00:13:47.320 But beyond whether it's the right thing to do or the wrong thing to do, it also won't help you. I don't think it's going to help. People think it will help them, but it'll actually hurt them.

00:13:58.020 I understand. I have been the target of a couple of cancel mobs in my life, one of which was pretty serious, could have taken down my career. And there were so many incentives just to apologize.

00:14:12.380 Yes, it was out of context. Yes, no one was really offended. Yes, they're just using this as a way to attack you. Yes, yes, it's not whatever, but just apologize and it'll all go away. It won't go away. It won't.

00:14:23.860 It's not going to go back to normal. You're not going to be allowed to just apologize because there's not real repentance and real grace here. It's a completely contrived situation.

00:14:37.180 And the minute that you show them a little bit of your neck, they're going to hack your head off. Okay, that's what this is about. I would call this the Hank Schrader rule. 0.96

00:14:48.120 And I think Joe Rogan would do very well to heed the Hank Schrader rule. The Hank Schrader rule comes from Breaking Bad. It's the scene where Walt's brother-in-law, Hank, the cop, is killed.

00:15:02.400 And the rule is this. Do not apologize to the mob. Do not grovel to the mob because the mob made up its mind 10 minutes ago.

00:15:13.340 Hank, listen to me. You've got to tell him. You've got to tell him now that we can work this out. Please, please.

00:15:22.680 What? You want me to beg? You're the smartest guy I ever met. And you're too stupid to see.

00:15:38.800 You made up his mind 10 minutes ago. 1.00

00:15:40.740 Do what you're going to do.

00:15:54.020 That's what happens. And Hank was right and Walt was wrong. Walt's saying, no, just apologize. Just say this will go away.

00:16:00.040 And then we can all go back to normal. You can't go back to normal.

00:16:02.500 When the cancel mob asks for your apology, they're not trying to figure out what to do with you.

00:16:10.840 They've already made up their mind. They're going to kill you. 0.99

00:16:13.640 They're going to kill your career. All right? 1.00

00:16:16.000 I hope they don't kill you literally, but they're certainly going to kill your career.

00:16:18.600 They've already made up their mind.

00:16:21.080 So the question is, what are you going to do now?

00:16:24.820 And that's the question for Joe Rogan to make.

00:16:26.800 And unfortunately, I think Spotify is pushing him in the direction of censorship.

00:16:34.260 You don't want to do that, okay?

00:16:37.720 The internet is moving in a bad direction right now.

00:16:41.420 It's moving in the direction of censoring perfectly fine, perfectly good, perfectly true things.

00:16:46.960 There is one internet company that's been around since the very early days that will help you to get incredible prices on travel.

00:16:53.540 That would be Priceline.

00:16:55.400 Right now, it can feel like everyone is getting less.

00:16:58.500 Less social interaction, less sunlight, less steps, less time being in the office.

00:17:03.900 And while that last one might not be so bad, don't you want more?

00:17:07.160 Well, since 1998, Priceline has been the best way for travelers to book the trip they want at the price they can afford.

00:17:13.820 Priceline saves consumers more than $1 billion every year so that their customers never have to miss the moments that matter.

00:17:21.200 With Priceline, you can save up to 60% on your favorite hotels.

00:17:25.900 And you can also get exclusive deals on rental cars and flights.

00:17:29.340 When you save more, you can do more.

00:17:31.340 More walks on the beach.

00:17:32.820 More talking to strangers.

00:17:34.560 More fun in the sun.

00:17:36.300 And no matter where you travel, still less being in the office, which is always enjoyable.

00:17:42.160 There are few things that feel as good as knowing that you saved money with the discounts Priceline offers.

00:17:46.680 You get that feeling a lot because you can save more and you can enjoy more and you can do more.

00:17:53.240 At Priceline, every trip is a big deal.

00:17:55.640 So when you're ready to book your next one, you go to Priceline.com for the best deals that will help you get more out of it.

00:18:02.320 There's a report out now that as of Saturday, 113 episodes of the Joe Rogan podcast have been taken down.

00:18:11.260 Now, Rogan reportedly made the decision himself, but this decision was made after conversations that he had with Spotify.

00:18:22.120 It's very easy to judge Joe Rogan for taking down his episodes.

00:18:25.820 Right now, you say, no, you're giving into censorship.

00:18:28.060 You're giving into cancel culture. 0.55

00:18:29.520 Joe Rogan has a $100 million contract with Spotify.

00:18:33.120 $100 million contract.

00:18:34.860 And the thing about temptation is that it's tempting.

00:18:38.800 That's what makes it tough.

00:18:41.540 And all of us who have given in to many less enticing temptations than $100 million.

00:18:48.320 All of us who, you know, see an extra drink at the end of the night, we can't say no.

00:18:53.720 Or you see a cute chick at the end of the bar, you can't say no. 1.00

00:18:56.160 Or you see the extra plate of turkey on Thanksgiving, you can't say no.

00:19:00.340 We're judging Joe Rogan for saying, I'd kind of like to keep the $100 million, thanks.

00:19:04.300 No, the tough thing about temptation is that it is tempting.

00:19:10.080 The question is, though, what does Joe Rogan want?

00:19:12.940 What does he want to have happen now?

00:19:14.680 It seems to me the mob already made up its mind.

00:19:17.140 Spotify, though they're not firing Joe Rogan outright, they are appeasing the mob.

00:19:22.420 And they're placing disclaimers on his episodes with conservatives on the issue of COVID.

00:19:27.060 They're taking down over 100 episodes, apparently, of his show, all the saucy, interesting episodes.

00:19:33.920 They're just taking those down. 0.52

00:19:35.920 They're saying that he needs to have way more Democrats on.

00:19:38.460 They're neutering the show. 1.00

00:19:40.140 They are neutering the show.

00:19:41.440 They've already done it.

00:19:42.820 They've already taken down the saucy, spicy stuff that the libs don't like. 0.89

00:19:47.860 So then the question for Rogan is, what kind of show does he want?

00:19:52.280 I don't know.

00:19:53.180 I can't answer that for him.

00:19:54.740 I don't know.

00:19:55.220 Joe Rogan is a sitcom actor, a stand-up comedian, who became probably the most trusted broadcaster in America.

00:20:03.980 I imagine he didn't expect that.

00:20:06.080 But what kind of show does he want?

00:20:09.260 The establishment is ordering things such that he can be an insanely rich man who will work for a very long time

00:20:17.500 doing a completely innocuous show that doesn't rock the boat.

00:20:22.380 Or he can be content just having a lot, a lot of money, but not an insane, but just a lot, a lot, a lot of money

00:20:30.760 in doing the show that he wants to do.

00:20:34.280 What do you want to do?

00:20:35.100 I don't know.

00:20:35.540 I hope that at a certain point of wealth, you say, screw it.

00:20:39.320 I don't care.

00:20:40.080 Whatever.

00:20:41.200 This is kind of what Chappelle did.

00:20:42.620 Dave Chappelle did this at Comedy Central.

00:20:44.360 He was offered a crazy contract.

00:20:45.900 I think it was $50 million.

00:20:46.660 But it was to do a show he didn't want to do.

00:20:48.680 He said, stuff it.

00:20:49.400 I've got enough money.

00:20:50.280 I'm going to go do my own thing.

00:20:52.100 What's he going to do?

00:20:52.960 It's going to matter because if they can do this to Rogan, there is no reason that they should keep any of the rest of our shows up on Spotify.

00:21:03.160 Ben, me, Matt Walsh, Candace.

00:21:08.460 Oh my gosh.

00:21:09.440 Candace.

00:21:12.140 Certainly any of the Daily Watch.

00:21:13.280 Why?

00:21:13.620 Why are you going to keep us up?

00:21:16.280 I like to think that the reason they'll keep us up is because they don't want to just shut out half of the country for saying perfectly ordinary commonplace things.

00:21:25.060 But if they're even going to go after Rogan, who is a liberal, why wouldn't they go after us too?

00:21:31.680 A lot is riding on this decision, Mr. Rogan.

00:21:34.720 I don't know Joe Rogan personally.

00:21:36.300 We follow each other on Twitter.

00:21:37.600 But a lot is riding on this, man.

00:21:39.220 I know it's tough.

00:21:39.920 But stand firm.

00:21:42.300 Come on.

00:21:42.740 Push back.

00:21:43.360 Push back, please.

00:21:44.640 Speaking of, you know, they're going to try to neuter the show. 0.99

00:21:47.080 Speaking of neutering, there is a disturbing TikTok, as most of them are pretty disturbing, going around.

00:21:53.940 And it shows us the consequences of the sexual revolution, where a young woman and her two boyfriends, I guess one's a husband, and then also her girlfriend, discuss the dynamics of their sexual polycule.

00:22:08.160 Hi, my name is Anna.

00:22:10.140 I am dating everybody in the polycule.

00:22:11.980 I am married to Jake.

00:22:13.000 We've been together for eight years and married for three.

00:22:15.040 I'm dating Spencer.

00:22:15.940 We've been together for three and a half.

00:22:17.240 And I am dating Ellie.

00:22:18.400 And we've been together just over a month now.

00:22:20.180 I am bisexual.

00:22:21.520 And my pronouns are she, her.

00:22:23.400 I'm also in charge of this account and in general.

00:22:25.800 Hi, I'm Jake.

00:22:27.960 I'm married to Anna, and she's currently my only partner.

00:22:31.260 I am demiromantic, which means I only get feelings for people, like romantic feelings for people if I've been around them for a while and get to know them really well.

00:22:40.700 And I'm technically pansexual, but I like the bicolors more, so I call myself bisexual.

00:22:47.300 My pronouns are he, they. 0.53

00:22:52.180 Hi, I'm Ellie.

00:22:53.820 I'm dating Anna.

00:22:54.760 I'm not currently dating anybody else.

00:22:57.260 I'm some flavor of queer.

00:23:00.840 And my pronouns are she, her.

00:23:03.280 I'm Spencer.

00:23:04.060 I'm only dating Anna.

00:23:06.420 I'm bi, but like, bi.

00:23:09.500 So this video goes, we can cut it there.

00:23:12.280 This video goes on Spencer, then is asked what his gender is, and he gets confused.

00:23:16.920 And then he says, gosh, I don't know.

00:23:19.900 And he looks really lost.

00:23:21.740 I think we need to rescue Spencer.

00:23:23.180 I think we need to send in a search and rescue team to go help Spencer.

00:23:28.540 Really, all of these people are hedonists and deeply disturbed people and quite degenerate, and they need to be reformed and improve their lives.

00:23:40.460 But Spencer especially seems very lost. 0.66

00:23:43.260 The sexual revolution has been an unmitigated disaster for the human race. 0.86

00:23:51.520 How can a society go on with that, where that is the understanding of life, love, sex, reproduction, or the lack thereof?

00:24:08.760 How can a civilization go on in that unserious way, where the men are wearing cat ears and proudly boasting of how cuckolded they are, and the women are, I don't know. 1.00

00:24:23.420 They've all got these sort of glazed out, creepy eyes. 0.90

00:24:28.880 Everyone's marveling at this kind of sex and gender craziness as though it's new. 1.00

00:24:33.540 Oh, it's so new.

00:24:34.360 We're in a brave new world.

00:24:36.220 But it's not new.

00:24:38.140 This is just paganism.

00:24:39.840 This is what things were like before Christianity, okay? 0.98

00:24:44.940 And it wasn't great.

00:24:46.360 There's nothing new under the sun, folks.

00:24:49.340 What is rare is not this breaking of all the rules and all of the taboos and all of the moral norms that we've had for the past 50 years.

00:24:57.380 What's new is civilization.

00:24:58.840 And we are throwing it away for a polycule with creepy Anna and her cat-cuckold husband and her girlfriend that she's known for a month and poor Spencer who doesn't know what gender he is. 0.80

00:25:13.260 People need to calm down, get some perspective, maybe have a cigar.

00:25:18.540 That'll help you do it, which is why I would recommend you check out Thompson.

00:25:21.840 I had such a lovely day yesterday.

00:25:23.820 What did I do?

00:25:24.400 I went, I sat outside of my house because if I did this inside my house, my wife would either divorce me or murder me, probably more the latter.

00:25:32.680 I went, I sat outside at my nice little table.

00:25:35.580 I brought up my computer.

00:25:36.860 I was doing a little work.

00:25:37.660 Very often I'll bring out a nice book.

00:25:39.960 I'll bring out a nice, maybe a little seltzer drink, maybe a little something stronger.

00:25:44.320 And you know what I always bring?

00:25:45.480 A delicious cigar, Thompson cigars.

00:25:48.600 Yesterday I smoked the Oliva Series V, which I really like that cigar.

00:25:52.400 They have a nice anniversary one.

00:25:53.480 But Thompson's got all the brands that you want.

00:26:06.880 All my favorite stuff.

00:26:08.240 I've been a customer at Thompson since I was 16 and my mother bought me my first box of cigars for Christmas that year.

00:26:14.740 Sit back, take a break from the craziness with a cigar from Thompson Cigar Company.

00:26:50.980 This suspenseful thriller follows a young mother trapped by her violent ex-husband and his meth addict friend, and she must escape to save her children before it's too late.

00:27:01.200 It's a tale of redemption to the beat of a seat-gripping thriller.

00:27:04.320 The film premieres this Thursday, February 10th at 9 p.m. Eastern, 8 p.m. Central over at Daily Wire's YouTube channel.

00:27:09.520 Make sure you click the link in the description and turn on the notification bell so that you don't miss it, because after the premiere, it will only be available to Daily Wire members.

00:27:18.420 And before that world premiere, make sure you catch this week's episode of Backstage.

00:27:22.300 You join me, Ben Shapiro, Jeremy Boring, Matt Walsh, and Andrew Klavan, Thursday night, 7.30 Eastern, 6.30 Central, over at, you guessed it, the Daily Wire YouTube channel.

00:27:31.140 The premiere of Shut-In starts at 9 p.m. Eastern, so that's on the same channel.

00:27:34.580 Be sure to tune in before then.

00:27:35.780 We will see you very shortly, but we will also be right back with a lot more.

00:27:52.980 Speaking of creepy sex stuff, Michael Avenatti.

00:27:56.020 Do you remember Michael Avenatti? 0.97

00:27:58.660 He is the man that we've all come to refer to as the creepy porn lawyer, the creepy porn lawyer who represented Stormy Daniels.

00:28:09.060 He kept attacking Trump. 0.53

00:28:10.840 He went on every cable news channel on the left, which is almost all of them, for months and months.

00:28:16.520 He was talked about as a possible 2020 Democrat presidential nominee.

00:28:23.360 Michael Avenatti was already convicted of a felony for trying to extort Nike, but he was just convicted of another one for stealing money from Stormy Daniels, his porn star client. 0.58

00:28:39.540 So this is the caliber of man that the Democrats will elevate on their media platforms, and they'll even talk about him as a potential presidential frontrunner, the kind of dirtbag lawyer who would rob his hooker client.

00:28:52.580 He was spoken of so highly by the left that Anna Navarro, she's the fake Republican on The View, but she's obviously a very left-wing person.

00:29:02.360 Anna Navarro, I don't even want to say it because it seems sacrilegious even to observe what happened.

00:29:09.700 This woman compared Michael Avenatti to the Holy Spirit.

00:29:14.860 This is the kind of person, and this is not just a one-off, okay?

00:29:36.160 What you're seeing here with Michael Avenatti, it's not just a one-off.

00:29:39.560 Think about Andrew Cuomo.

00:29:40.880 We're all Cuomo-sexuals.

00:29:42.400 Oh, Andrew Cuomo, I've got a crush on Andrew Cuomo.

00:29:45.000 He's the greatest governor in America, remember that? 0.99

00:29:47.540 Just a dirtbag corrupt politician. 0.97

00:29:50.060 Chris Cuomo, he's so respected over there. 0.98

00:29:52.800 Don Lemon, he hasn't fallen yet, but their foot shall slide in due time.

00:29:57.140 Oh, Jeff Zucker, the president of CNN, that guy's out also ostensibly for creepy sex stuff, even though it wasn't.

00:30:02.460 Jeffrey Toobin, now I'm just talking about CNN.

00:30:05.340 The list goes on and on and on.

00:30:06.600 These are the kinds of people that we are told are the moral arbiters of the universe.

00:30:14.400 Meanwhile, Joe Rogan is unclean.

00:30:17.480 Joe Rogan is lower than dirt because why?

00:30:22.360 Because he contradicted Dr. Fauci.

00:30:25.580 You're known by the friends you keep, okay?

00:30:27.700 The ladies on the view, I don't mean to use that term, it's disrespectful to ladies, but the hens on the view, they're known by the friends they keep. 1.00

00:30:40.040 CNN, you're known by the friends you keep.

00:30:42.740 The Democratic Party, you're known by the friends that you keep.

00:30:46.520 And I'm noticing a pattern here. 0.57

00:30:49.900 Michael Avenatti, to compare him, how disgusting to do that.

00:30:53.360 Speaking of ethical lapses, really disturbing report out about, you guessed it, Dr. Fauci, the man that we're not allowed to criticize, the man who is basically behind the attempted assassination of Joe Rogan's career.

00:31:09.720 He's at least the, he's the cause of the attempted assassination of Joe Rogan's career.

00:31:15.580 There's a report out from the White Coast Waste Project, White Coat Waste Project, not the White Coast, I don't know, what would that be, part of the Hamptons or something, that Dr. Fauci's NIAID funds 80% of research involving human fetal cells.

00:31:32.900 According to this investigation, the NIH is actively funding over $27 million of research, approved to use human fetal tissue, and they're expected to spend over $88 million total on human fetal tissue this year.

00:31:51.180 And out of the current pool of just $27 million, $21.6 million has been dispersed by Dr. Fauci's department, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

00:32:00.820 In other words, Fauci is funding around 80% of the current NIH experiments on human fetal tissue, that is, cells derived from murdered babies.

00:32:16.000 This does not tie in with Fauci's corruption regarding COVID or his incompetence regarding COVID or his outright lies and even admitted lies or even perjury regarding COVID.

00:32:28.240 This is a completely separate issue, but it shows you just more and more evidence of this guy's ethical issues, his lapses in judgment, this pattern that this guy's understanding of ethics, political ethics, medical ethics, his judgment is really compromised.

00:32:48.100 Which is why you should not vote for any candidate for federal office who does not sign the Michael Knowles Public Health Protection Pledge.

00:32:57.920 It's a very simple pledge.

00:32:59.400 It's got two pieces to it.

00:33:01.480 One, that you will vote to investigate, subpoena, investigate Dr. Fauci.

00:33:05.240 Two, that you will vote to zero out his salary.

00:33:07.440 You can't fire him.

00:33:08.300 Only the executive can do that, but you can zero out his salary.

00:33:11.400 Two parts.

00:33:11.920 We just had a number of, I mean, we've had dozens and dozens of federal candidates sign this pledge.

00:33:17.980 J.D. Vance, very well-known candidate for Senate in Ohio, just signed it over the weekend.

00:33:23.520 J.D. Vance is the author of Hillbilly Elegy, a very serious Senate candidate there.

00:33:27.860 It's very simple.

00:33:29.100 We've had many, many other candidates sign it as well.

00:33:32.540 You should send the Michael Knowles Public Health Protection Pledge to all of your candidates, your sitting congressmen, your senators.

00:33:39.020 Send it to them and say, sign this or you don't get my vote.

00:33:42.460 This man needs to be kicked out of his perch of power.

00:33:46.700 Speaking of corruption in our public health establishment, Jen Psaki was just asked about this Johns Hopkins working paper, this study out of Johns Hopkins.

00:33:57.160 It's a meta-analysis of lots of other studies.

00:34:00.880 They looked at thousands and thousands and thousands of studies.

00:34:03.020 They narrowed it down to 30-some-odd studies that were really, really rigorous on the effectiveness of lockdowns.

00:34:08.880 And they found out that lockdowns not only don't help to improve the public health, not only do they not stop the spread of the virus or whatever we were told that they were going to do,

00:34:18.640 not only is the epidemiological literature very clear on the ineffectiveness of lockdowns from a public health standpoint,

00:34:24.880 but from a political, economic, social standpoint, even standpoints affecting other areas of public health, they're a complete disaster.

00:34:33.420 They cause the breakdown of society and lots of other social problems.

00:34:37.760 So a reporter asked Jen Psaki about this study and whether that has led the White House to change its views on lockdowns.

00:34:46.280 Jen Psaki's answer tells you the whole story about the study and about the lockdowns.

00:34:51.800 Real quick on the Johns Hopkins study on the lockdowns.

00:34:56.020 It was this meta-analysis that came out of several studies.

00:35:00.040 Lockdown during the first wave of COVID in the spring of 2020 found that it only reduced COVID mortality by 0.2% in the U.S. and Europe

00:35:07.080 and suggested they have little to no public health benefit but severe consequences for the economy.

00:35:13.860 And it suggests that lockdowns shouldn't be a part of a future pandemic response.

00:35:20.500 Is that the shared view of the administration looking in the rearview mirror?

00:35:25.520 Well, I would say I would first, of course, point you to our health and medical experts for specifics on this specific scientific study.

00:35:31.580 I would note that the president has been clear we're not pushing lockdowns.

00:35:34.800 We've not been pro-lockdown.

00:35:36.340 That has not been his agenda.

00:35:38.200 Most of the lockdowns actually happened under the previous president.

00:35:41.860 What our objective has been is conveying that we have the tools we need to keep our country open

00:35:46.380 thanks to the president's leadership and focus on fighting the virus.

00:35:50.400 And that's reflected in the fact that 98% of schools are open.

00:35:54.580 Over 210 million Americans are fully vaccinated.

00:35:57.740 We have the tools to avoid lockdowns and we're not moving back.

00:36:00.920 And that's our intention at this point.

00:36:02.120 This is how you know that the study is legit.

00:36:07.100 Jen Psaki just gave us the best evidence so far that this meta-analysis from Johns Hopkins is legit

00:36:12.820 because she doesn't even try to refute it.

00:36:15.780 She actually does the opposite.

00:36:17.700 She says, no, we never liked lockdowns.

00:36:19.920 No, we hate lockdowns.

00:36:23.800 That's obviously BS.

00:36:25.340 The Democrats and Joe Biden have supported all sorts of draconian public health measures.

00:36:31.920 All sorts of slow down, don't go out, stay home, don't do this, lock up.

00:36:36.680 Of course they've supported that.

00:36:39.340 But they've got two choices here.

00:36:41.820 They can either attack the study and say, no, the lockdowns do work.

00:36:46.180 Or they can embrace the study and say, no, we hate the lockdowns.

00:36:49.820 Those are the only two options they have if they want to come out of this in a politically advantageous way.

00:36:54.560 And they chose the latter because they can't refute the study.

00:36:56.720 Because the study is clearly rigorous, it takes into account dozens of other studies.

00:37:04.200 And we know that the lockdowns are useless.

00:37:09.120 They're medically useless.

00:37:11.280 Politically, they're very useful. 0.79

00:37:13.060 And people are catching on to that now.

00:37:15.120 Now is the time to push back on these officials.

00:37:18.960 There's a woman in Prince William County in the school district there. 0.99

00:37:24.700 She showed up to the school board to grill the members of the school board and to speak out against the superintendent of the school board there.

00:37:32.920 This woman had a great riff on the inefficacy of masks and the insanity of masking up the little kids. 1.00

00:37:41.240 But then she showed the political corruption here, too.

00:37:45.120 She pushed back on the narrative that so many politicians have leaned on, which is, look, there's nothing we can do.

00:37:50.820 We want, look, we're just following the scientists.

00:37:52.940 Look, we're just following, we're just following orders, okay?

00:37:55.880 And so you got to mask your kids up and we just have to go along and do it.

00:38:00.300 That's an excuse.

00:38:01.720 They are hiding behind other people to push policies that they want.

00:38:05.920 And this mother has had enough. 1.00

00:38:07.840 On November 15th of last year, I had the privilege of speaking with Dr. McDade for 10 minutes following the CRT town hall meeting.

00:38:15.680 During that discussion, which was friendly and cordial, I asked what she, as superintendent, could do to get the kids out of masks.

00:38:22.800 Dr. McDade told me that she would if she could, but that her hands were tied by then-Governor Northam's executive order mandating face coverings.

00:38:31.180 And if it weren't for that, things would be different.

00:38:34.080 Well, tonight, things are different.

00:38:37.640 And I'd like to ask you, Dr. McDade, tonight, what has changed and what do you plan on doing now that your hands are untied?

00:38:43.760 I'm, in fact, I'm asking all of you to step up the way other leaders who have and are ending COVID restrictions by the day.

00:38:50.300 What, when will you, what will it take?

00:38:52.960 You are on the losing side of history.

00:38:55.020 And it's time to make that right before these children now.

00:38:57.480 Thank you.

00:39:01.820 Be still, my beating heart.

00:39:04.080 Oh, my gosh.

00:39:05.940 Oh, I just, I just want to watch it again.

00:39:08.340 I want to watch it on, on loop.

00:39:10.020 You can see in the boardroom that they're meeting in, there are all these big signs up in front of the school.

00:39:17.900 They say, thank you, school board.

00:39:20.460 Great job.

00:39:21.680 Keep up the, oh, it's so, thank you, school board.

00:39:24.020 It doesn't sound like those parents in the audience are thanking the school board.

00:39:31.800 Now, in the room, it's, it sounds like prime minister's questions out in, in the United Kingdom.

00:39:37.700 Forget that.

00:39:38.400 It sounds like a WWE match.

00:39:39.920 Woo, yeah, woo, yeah.

00:39:42.180 Get him.

00:39:42.740 You drag him, girl. 1.00

00:39:43.840 It's so, there is obviously so much popular support for the parents who are taking control of their children's education, pushing back on these psycho administrators and these leftist insane politicians. 0.93

00:39:58.120 And saying, no, enough is enough. 1.00

00:40:00.040 Take off the stupid masks. 1.00

00:40:02.140 Stop trying to make me inject my kid with the experimental drug to maybe, possibly, but probably not protect against the virus that doesn't pose any particularly grave threat to them. 1.00

00:40:12.900 Shut up, you awful superintendents and you principals and you school board members. 0.99

00:40:19.260 And get out. 1.00

00:40:20.540 Because we are going to control education now.

00:40:22.000 This is such a great issue.

00:40:23.200 The people running the education system are completely full of it.

00:40:28.160 This is a great issue where it, kind of like Joe Rogan, actually.

00:40:32.500 Joe Rogan transcends political boundaries.

00:40:35.160 He is a liberal, but he appeals to lots of conservatives.

00:40:37.920 He appeals to some leftists and some Bernie bros, too.

00:40:40.440 He's got a really kind of broad appeal.

00:40:42.840 The same thing with this parents movement.

00:40:44.540 It's got a really broad appeal.

00:40:46.600 It, it's not just the rock-ribbed conservatives.

00:40:48.400 It's any mother, any parent who doesn't want their kid to be victimized by psychos in school.

00:40:54.220 And there's a whole lot of that going around, by the way.

00:40:57.960 Did you know that over 85% of grass-fed beef sold in U.S. grocery stores is imported?

00:41:36.060 Speaking of child abuse in schools, there is a video making its way around the internet.

00:41:42.160 You know, I generally hate TikTok.

00:41:43.420 I generally hate what social media has done to the world.

00:41:46.940 However, it is a good way to shine light on abuses that are going on.

00:41:51.600 And some of these are contrived.

00:41:53.760 Some of these are non-traverses ginned up to attack someone like Joe Rogan, for instance.

00:41:57.980 You take a bunch of short clips out of context, and then you use that as a way to lead a digital lynch mob to destroy this guy's career.

00:42:05.920 But sometimes you see legitimate abuses.

00:42:07.480 There's a school in D.C. that is now forcing elementary school students, we're talking about five-year-olds, six-year-olds, to march around, masked up, of course, wearing the masks, carrying signs that say Black Lives Matter and chanting BLM chants.

00:42:26.320 Black Lives Matter!

00:42:29.840 Black Lives Matter!

00:42:32.280 Black Lives Matter!

00:42:34.880 Black Lives Matter!

00:42:37.660 If these students were forced to walk around holding up a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary and chanting the Salve Regina, there would be lawsuits.

00:42:50.340 It would, it would, it would, I would say it would go up to the Supreme Court, but it wouldn't because that, that would be shot downs at so much, so many of the lower courts.

00:42:58.560 You would have teachers fired.

00:43:00.480 It would be a national scandal.

00:43:03.080 It would be a national scandal if students were made to engage in a religious ritual for good, traditional, true religion, for Christianity.

00:43:13.920 But because the students are made to march around holding up signs and giving religious chants to the leftist secular religion, the BLM religion, well, that's perfectly fine. 0.93

00:43:26.820 That's actually mandatory.

00:43:28.780 Obviously, this thing should be illegal.

00:43:30.300 BLM is a terrorist organization founded by Marxists. 1.00

00:43:33.780 It's anti-American.

00:43:35.420 It should be, it should be suppressed in the country.

00:43:38.840 And it's, it has no place in schools, obviously, without question.

00:43:45.320 But, we've got to go further in our thinking of this.

00:43:50.500 We can't just, I, it really drives me crazy when people say, just keep your religion out of politics.

00:43:55.440 You can't, it's not, politics always is about religion because it's always about morality and it's always about how we view the world.

00:44:00.520 So it's always going to be about, or they'll say, keep politics out of schools.

00:44:04.620 That's not possible.

00:44:05.520 Politics just refers to public things, how we all get along together.

00:44:08.840 The values that we hold in common, the way that we see ourselves and each other and our country.

00:44:13.740 You can't keep politics out of schools, certainly not out of public schools.

00:44:17.300 Politics, political and public mean the same thing.

00:44:19.500 They're synonyms.

00:44:20.900 So you can't keep politics.

00:44:21.920 The question is not, will we have religion in schools?

00:44:24.660 The question is not, will we have politics in schools?

00:44:27.240 The question is, what kind of religion?

00:44:29.340 The question is, what kind of politics?

00:44:31.200 What will be tolerated?

00:44:32.680 What will not be tolerated?

00:44:33.820 Right now, if you read the Bible in schools, if you teach the Bible in schools, you will be reprimanded and probably fired.

00:44:42.420 If you read some Marxist trash in schools, or Ibram Kendi, or critical race theory, if you teach that in schools, you will be rewarded.

00:44:52.460 Often, that will be part of the curriculum. 0.94

00:44:56.680 They would both be religious views.

00:44:59.080 It's just one of them happens to be good and true and essential to our civilization. 0.99

00:45:02.860 And the other one is modern leftist trash. 0.98

00:45:05.840 And unfortunately, right now, we're elevating the thing that is false and destructive and ugly, the leftist theories, and we're suppressing good, true religion. 0.99

00:45:16.920 Same thing with politics.

00:45:18.020 We're going to be taught politics.

00:45:19.920 When you say America's a good country, America's done good things, that's politics.

00:45:23.200 When you say America's an evil country, and it's a white supremacist country, and it's got structurally bigoted and whatever, that's politics too.

00:45:29.680 You're always going to have the politics. 0.69

00:45:30.780 But what are the politics going to be?

00:45:33.580 Our form of government is conducive to justice.

00:45:36.540 That's politics.

00:45:37.600 Our form of government is deeply unjust.

00:45:39.300 That's politics too.

00:45:40.240 You can't get rid of it.

00:45:41.300 What is the politics going to be?

00:45:44.040 We don't teach students what to think, only how to think. 1.00

00:45:46.860 That's another one of these stupid slogans that doesn't mean anything. 1.00

00:45:49.600 Because all schooling teaches students what to think. 1.00

00:45:52.980 So what are we going to teach them to think?

00:45:56.740 If you say murder is wrong, you're teaching someone what to think.

00:46:00.220 If you say that murder is okay if it's done by BLM and Antifa, you're teaching them what to think too. 0.51

00:46:05.480 You're just teaching them something that is wrong.

00:46:08.500 We've got to grapple with that question.

00:46:11.220 The schools are the battleground where it's going on right now.

00:46:13.860 And there was a photo that made the rounds this weekend that to me, they say a photo, an image says a thousand words.

00:46:22.400 I think this image says a hundred thousand words.

00:46:25.060 It's an image of Stacey Abrams, the pretend governor of Georgia.

00:46:29.920 Remember, we're told it's evil and terrible and destroys our sacred democracy if you question election results.

00:46:35.360 Unless you're a Democrat, in which case it's wonderful.

00:46:37.580 Stacey Abrams has been pretending that she won her gubernatorial election for four years now. 1.00

00:46:42.600 And Stacey Abrams, as part of her fake gubernatorial tour, went around to an elementary school. 1.00

00:46:47.820 And she took a photo with students.

00:46:50.680 All the little kids who are at statistically very low risk, if any risk, from COVID, they're all wearing masks.

00:46:57.780 Stacey Abrams, who is at a significantly higher risk from COVID.

00:47:01.720 It's still a very, very low one, but higher.

00:47:03.900 All right, let's put it that way.

00:47:06.100 She is not wearing a mask.

00:47:08.880 Because she's not really afraid of COVID.

00:47:10.600 None of the people who are telling you to lock down and wear masks and take them, none of them are afraid of COVID.

00:47:14.900 They just want you to be afraid of COVID, and they want to control you.

00:47:19.760 And she's sitting there, smiling, grinning ear to ear.

00:47:23.600 No mask.

00:47:24.260 All the little kids have to mask up.

00:47:26.620 Tells you everything you need to know about the masks and the politics of COVID in one photo.

00:47:31.560 She gets called out for it.

00:47:32.500 What does she do? 1.00

00:47:33.940 She plays the race card. 0.92

00:47:35.020 She says, it's shameful that our opponents are using a Black History Month reading event for Georgia children as the impetus for a false political attack.

00:47:42.420 And it is pitiful and predictable that our opponents continue to look for opportunities to distract from their failed records when it comes to protecting public health during the pandemic. 0.95

00:47:49.980 This pathetic, transparent, and silly attack is beneath anyone who claims they want to lead Georgia. 0.98

00:47:53.500 What are you talking about, lady? 1.00

00:47:54.760 You got caught in rank hypocrisy.

00:47:56.680 And now you're playing the race card like the left always does.

00:48:00.480 It's the exact same thing that's happening to Joe Rogan.

00:48:02.680 And Rogan has a much better record on COVID than any of the so-called public health leaders.

00:48:07.880 Some random podcaster weightlifter has a better record than Dr. Fauci.

00:48:13.660 That's the state of our country right now.

00:48:15.960 And he calls them out.

00:48:18.480 And the left doesn't like that.

00:48:19.600 And they call him a racist.

00:48:20.540 It's the exact same thing here.

00:48:22.540 It's the exact same thing here.

00:48:23.800 And the woman doing it here, by the way, also questions the results of our elections. 1.00

00:48:27.280 None of this is sincere.

00:48:30.220 None of these attacks are sincere.

00:48:32.840 They do not deserve an apology from us, people who have not committed any particular offense to these people.

00:48:39.660 The people who are attacking us do not care.

00:48:41.680 They don't deserve an apology.

00:48:42.820 What we have to do is stand firm and fight back.
