Jimmy Carter, the disgraced former president, has lobbed another attack on our sacred democracy when he suggested that the recent election was stolen, and that the winner was not legitimate. Michael Knowles explains why the Democrats' fear-mongering about insurrections and coup d'etat was never legitimate, and why it was always merely a way to justify censorship and ostracism of half the country.
00:05:14.660Does not look particularly violent or dangerous.
00:05:17.980It looks relatively orderly as far as these things go.
00:05:22.160And there was a cop there escorting them the whole time.
00:05:25.700Looks 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.
00:05:40.040If 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.
00:05:55.060I bet maybe a few people would be more skeptical.
00:05:56.700But I doubt a single person, maybe one person, would tell you that it looked like that.
00:06:03.820Just 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.
00:06:17.140Meanwhile, there was an insurrection that very year, right, within the year of January 6th, there was an actual insurrection called BLM and Antifa.
00:06:31.100There were autonomous regions declared in different cities in America.
00:06:35.380There were dozens of people killed in political violence by BLM.
00:06:39.260There were federal buildings attacked and it went on city after city after city.
00:06:43.100But we were told that was mostly peaceful.
00:06:44.760There's a wonderful story just out of Tennessee, actually, out of my new home state.
00:06:49.740A Black Lives Matter chapter founder in Tennessee was just sentenced to six years in prison for illegally registering to vote while serving probation.
00:07:00.940According to the criminal court judge, you tricked the probation department into giving you documents saying you were off probation.
00:07:10.320She 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.
00:07:21.680So, the reason that I really love this story, the reason this story is so delicious, is because it knocks down two sacred leftist narratives.
00:07:34.280One, that BLM is not run by criminals.
00:07:40.620And in this case, you've got the criminal BLM chapter founder illegally registering to vote because both of those things are true.
00:07:49.440BLM and Antifa are run by criminals and they are criminal enterprises and they commit lots of crimes.
00:07:57.780And two, there is obviously lots of illegal voting.
00:08:00.840This 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,
00:08:11.660they, at one, and out of one side of their mouth, they said that illegal aliens will not be registered to vote.
00:09:46.800I'm making this video to talk about the most regretful and shameful thing that I've ever had to talk about publicly.
00:09:54.500There's a video that's out that's a compilation of me saying the N-word.
00:09:58.940It'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.
00:10:11.760Now, 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.
00:10:24.120I 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.
00:10:36.340I thought as long as it was in context, people would understand what I was doing.
00:10:40.880Like 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.
00:10:51.100So 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.
00:11:03.560I 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.
00:11:21.400That's very scary. There's a lot of downsides to this culture, this cancel culture, which is why I would recommend you get Upside.
00:11:29.820Gas is going through the roof. It's very, very expensive, and I can save you 25 cents per gallon every time you fill up.

00:12:33.540Knowles. 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.
00:12:44.920He 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.
00:12:50.260He 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.
00:13:09.900And 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.
00:13:24.800And 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.
00:13:47.320But 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.
00:13:58.020I 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.
00:14:12.380Yes, 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.
00:14:23.860It'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.
00:14:37.180And 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.
00:14:48.120And 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.
00:15:02.400And 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.
00:15:13.340Hank, listen to me. You've got to tell him. You've got to tell him now that we can work this out. Please, please.
00:15:22.680What? You want me to beg? You're the smartest guy I ever met. And you're too stupid to see.
00:20:52.960It'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.
00:21:16.280I 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.
00:21:25.060But if they're even going to go after Rogan, who is a liberal, why wouldn't they go after us too?
00:21:31.680A lot is riding on this decision, Mr. Rogan.
00:21:44.640Speaking of, you know, they're going to try to neuter the show.
00:21:47.080Speaking of neutering, there is a disturbing TikTok, as most of them are pretty disturbing, going around.
00:21:53.940And 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.
00:22:27.960I'm married to Anna, and she's currently my only partner.
00:22:31.260I 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.
00:22:40.700And I'm technically pansexual, but I like the bicolors more, so I call myself bisexual.
00:23:23.180I think we need to send in a search and rescue team to go help Spencer.
00:23:28.540Really, all of these people are hedonists and deeply disturbed people and quite degenerate, and they need to be reformed and improve their lives.
00:23:40.460But Spencer especially seems very lost.
00:23:43.260The sexual revolution has been an unmitigated disaster for the human race.
00:23:51.520How can a society go on with that, where that is the understanding of life, love, sex, reproduction, or the lack thereof?
00:24:08.760How 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.
00:24:23.420They've all got these sort of glazed out, creepy eyes.
00:24:28.880Everyone's marveling at this kind of sex and gender craziness as though it's new.
00:24:58.840And 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.
00:25:13.260People need to calm down, get some perspective, maybe have a cigar.
00:25:18.540That'll help you do it, which is why I would recommend you check out Thompson.
00:25:24.400I 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.
00:25:32.680I went, I sat outside at my nice little table.
00:26:40.500Also, this Thursday, February 10th, will be the world premiere of Shut In, Daily Wire's first original film at 9 p.m. Eastern, 8 p.m. Central over at the Daily Wire YouTube channel.
00:26:50.980This 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.
00:27:01.200It's a tale of redemption to the beat of a seat-gripping thriller.
00:27:04.320The film premieres this Thursday, February 10th at 9 p.m. Eastern, 8 p.m. Central over at Daily Wire's YouTube channel.
00:27:09.520Make 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.
00:27:18.420And before that world premiere, make sure you catch this week's episode of Backstage.
00:27:22.300You 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.
00:27:31.140The premiere of Shut-In starts at 9 p.m. Eastern, so that's on the same channel.
00:28:10.840He went on every cable news channel on the left, which is almost all of them, for months and months.
00:28:16.520He was talked about as a possible 2020 Democrat presidential nominee.
00:28:23.360Michael 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.
00:28:39.540So 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.
00:28:52.580He 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.
00:29:02.360Anna Navarro, I don't even want to say it because it seems sacrilegious even to observe what happened.
00:29:09.700This woman compared Michael Avenatti to the Holy Spirit.
00:29:14.860This is the kind of person, and this is not just a one-off, okay?
00:29:36.160What you're seeing here with Michael Avenatti, it's not just a one-off.
00:30:25.580You're known by the friends you keep, okay?
00:30:27.700The 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.
00:30:40.040CNN, you're known by the friends you keep.
00:30:42.740The Democratic Party, you're known by the friends that you keep.
00:30:49.900Michael Avenatti, to compare him, how disgusting to do that.
00:30:53.360Speaking 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.
00:31:09.720He's at least the, he's the cause of the attempted assassination of Joe Rogan's career.
00:31:15.580There'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.
00:31:32.900According 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.
00:31:51.180And 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.
00:32:00.820In other words, Fauci is funding around 80% of the current NIH experiments on human fetal tissue, that is, cells derived from murdered babies.
00:32:16.000This 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.
00:32:28.240This 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.
00:32:48.100Which is why you should not vote for any candidate for federal office who does not sign the Michael Knowles Public Health Protection Pledge.
00:33:29.100We've had many, many other candidates sign it as well.
00:33:32.540You should send the Michael Knowles Public Health Protection Pledge to all of your candidates, your sitting congressmen, your senators.
00:33:39.020Send it to them and say, sign this or you don't get my vote.
00:33:42.460This man needs to be kicked out of his perch of power.
00:33:46.700Speaking of corruption in our public health establishment, Jen Psaki was just asked about this Johns Hopkins working paper, this study out of Johns Hopkins.
00:33:57.160It's a meta-analysis of lots of other studies.
00:34:00.880They looked at thousands and thousands and thousands of studies.
00:34:03.020They narrowed it down to 30-some-odd studies that were really, really rigorous on the effectiveness of lockdowns.
00:34:08.880And 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,
00:34:18.640not only is the epidemiological literature very clear on the ineffectiveness of lockdowns from a public health standpoint,
00:34:24.880but from a political, economic, social standpoint, even standpoints affecting other areas of public health, they're a complete disaster.
00:34:33.420They cause the breakdown of society and lots of other social problems.
00:34:37.760So a reporter asked Jen Psaki about this study and whether that has led the White House to change its views on lockdowns.
00:34:46.280Jen Psaki's answer tells you the whole story about the study and about the lockdowns.
00:34:51.800Real quick on the Johns Hopkins study on the lockdowns.
00:34:56.020It was this meta-analysis that came out of several studies.
00:35:00.040Lockdown 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
00:35:07.080and suggested they have little to no public health benefit but severe consequences for the economy.
00:35:13.860And it suggests that lockdowns shouldn't be a part of a future pandemic response.
00:35:20.500Is that the shared view of the administration looking in the rearview mirror?
00:35:25.520Well, I would say I would first, of course, point you to our health and medical experts for specifics on this specific scientific study.
00:35:31.580I would note that the president has been clear we're not pushing lockdowns.
00:37:13.060And people are catching on to that now.
00:37:15.120Now is the time to push back on these officials.
00:37:18.960There's a woman in Prince William County in the school district there.
00:37:24.700She 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.
00:37:32.920This woman had a great riff on the inefficacy of masks and the insanity of masking up the little kids.
00:37:41.240But then she showed the political corruption here, too.
00:37:45.120She pushed back on the narrative that so many politicians have leaned on, which is, look, there's nothing we can do.
00:37:50.820We want, look, we're just following the scientists.
00:37:52.940Look, we're just following, we're just following orders, okay?
00:37:55.880And so you got to mask your kids up and we just have to go along and do it.
00:38:07.840On November 15th of last year, I had the privilege of speaking with Dr. McDade for 10 minutes following the CRT town hall meeting.
00:38:15.680During that discussion, which was friendly and cordial, I asked what she, as superintendent, could do to get the kids out of masks.
00:38:22.800Dr. 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.
00:38:31.180And if it weren't for that, things would be different.
00:39:43.840It'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.
00:40:02.140Stop 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.
00:40:12.900Shut up, you awful superintendents and you principals and you school board members.
00:41:53.760Some of these are non-traverses ginned up to attack someone like Joe Rogan, for instance.
00:41:57.980You 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.
00:42:05.920But sometimes you see legitimate abuses.
00:42:07.480There'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.
00:42:37.660If 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.
00:42:50.340It 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.
00:43:03.080It would be a national scandal if students were made to engage in a religious ritual for good, traditional, true religion, for Christianity.
00:43:13.920But 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.
00:44:59.080It's just one of them happens to be good and true and essential to our civilization.
00:45:02.860And the other one is modern leftist trash.
00:45:05.840And 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.
00:45:19.920When you say America's a good country, America's done good things, that's politics.
00:45:23.200When 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.
00:45:29.680You're always going to have the politics.
00:45:30.780But what are the politics going to be?
00:45:33.580Our form of government is conducive to justice.
00:47:35.020She 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.
00:47:42.420And 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.
00:47:49.980This pathetic, transparent, and silly attack is beneath anyone who claims they want to lead Georgia.
