The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 2003 - Woke Libs MELTDOWN Over America 250 - Michael Knowles REACTS

Starting point is 00:00:00 One of the strangest things about the modern economy is that everyone claims to love small businesses, but the systems that we've built may get harder and harder for small businesses to actually survive. Over 70% of small businesses need additional capital at least once a year. Meanwhile, banks are tightening underwriting and approving fewer loans than ever, even while small business revenue is at record highs. So what happens? Business owners get trapped in limbo. But if you want bank rates without the bank delays, you need to check out cardiff.c.co.

Starting point is 00:00:27 slash Knowles for up to half a million dollars in same-day funding. Cardiff is the largest privately held small business lender in the United States.

And they think it is wrong of you to celebrate. Where do we find such excruple degeneracy? We find it, of course, on TikTok, take it away. I want to remind everybody because we are coming out of May. Septim Pearson. And then there's going to be June. And then there's going to be July. It's always the 10.

Starting point is 00:01:53 Three glazer. Remind everybody that July 4th is fucking canceled. It's canceled. It means nothing. It's trash. It's garbage. It's something we vomited up, apparently. If I hear a single fucking firework, if I see a fucking barbecue out there, motherfuckers, it is canceled.

Starting point is 00:02:18 Aristotle believed that one's physique had a relation to one's other virtues. He was an early looks maxer. He believed that you really could judge a book by its cover. And ugly people can be virtuous. It's not even about natural ugliness so much. When you see someone with the jolly rancher blue hair, when you see someone who just looks like on the brink of death all the time with no underlying medical reason,

Starting point is 00:02:48 when you see crucially, when you see the septum piercing, you know that you're dealing with someone whose intellect and will have been rotted to the core. And that should signal to you, that should play upon your prejudice, which is good, which we rely upon a lot, that should signal to you that whatever you're about to hear is probably very, very wrong, if not influenced by Satan. Next one.

Starting point is 00:03:14 250 years of freedom, my fucking entire ass. We cannot celebrate freedom while people are actively being stripped of political power and civil rights. Y'all motherfuckers were lecturing black people on how we needed to be grateful for Donald Trump because he did so much to pardon and free black people. He did so much with his selective-ass prison reform. You have nothing to say.

Starting point is 00:03:39 Prison reform is like the one thing Trump did that I hated. The one thing he's ever done that I hated. About the continued disenfranchisement of felon. I love how she just conflates black people with criminals. She's just totally casually, no explanation at all. She sees the Venn diagram of black people and criminals to be a circle. Like, cool it, Bull Connor. Hey, cool it with the racist remarks.

Starting point is 00:04:10 You've got to keep the white and the black stuff. There's a great political lesson that comes out of that TikTok, though. I mentioned that basically the one thing Trump has ever done that I really, really, really disagreed with was the prison reform, the jailbreak bill in the first term where he sprung a bunch of criminals at a prison. And it's funny, when people, they say, Michael, you're too positive on Trump. You never criticized Trump. I say, that's not true. I hated that jailbreak bill. I hated prison reform, which is the one thing that a lot of those people usually like. But I thought it was a bad idea. It's okay. People can only be right at most 99.3% of the time. In any case, it's a reminder as to why

Starting point is 00:04:49 it's not a good idea to pander to people who just fundamentally disagree with you. The people who want to abolish prisons, the people who want to let the criminals out of jail, you're not going to win those people over. Trump can win over a bunch of black voters. He did historically. But he's not winning her. He's not going to win a bunch of criminals. He's going to win like, you know, normal good people. So if we could do it over, you can't repeat history. If we could do it over, we need to put more people in prison.

Starting point is 00:05:16 That's the problem is not over incarceration. The problem is under incarceration. As long as we have crime, we have an under-incarceration problem. Next, next one. I'm happy to report that America's 250th birthday party was as ghetto as we thought. Here are some clips from inside the event, and it looks to be a sweaty time. Just malt liquor and baloney. And everybody's dressed like it's 2003, but not in a good way.

Starting point is 00:05:38 Oh, and then these two thugs got into a fist brawraud just feet away from the White House. Look at this. Mm, usual suspects. Okay. So there's a little irony to this because usually the videos of people getting into fights on the streets is usually black people, but in this case it's white people. You say, yeah, look at those thugs. Yeah, they're the usual suspects. Begin! It's okay, he's having fun mocking white working class aesthetics.

Starting point is 00:06:10 And this is a criticism that you usually don't see coming from black people. This is more a criticism you get from white liberals. because it's the safest group to beat up on. You're allowed to beat up on them. And you won't be called racist and you won't even be called classist. It's just fun. The white working class and the white working class aesthetic, you know, WWUFC, you know, dirt bikes and bald eagles and explosions.

Starting point is 00:06:36 That's mocked by the self-styled cultural elite and just about everybody else. And Trump really leans into that aesthetic. Go to helixleep.com. Noles. America was built by people who worked hard and slept well. If you're not sleeping well, you are not operating at full capacity. And this country needs you at full capacity. We got a 250th birthday coming up. That's why you need your helix. My wife is very, very pregnant, okay? And she gets more pregnant by the day. And sometimes pregnant ladies toss and turn at night. How lucky I am to have not just one, but multiple helix mattresses in my house. Helix. Helix. Helix, that is your

And so this has been the knock on Trump for 10 years. He seems like white trash. Oh, he seems, he's just leaning into the populism. Even, even not just the white working class.

Starting point is 00:08:13 Trump, oh, he's named in all these rap songs. He's got the style of a rapper or a, gangster. Yeah, that's true. And he embraces it, and it's what gives him a lot of cross-cultural appeal, because he is a billionaire. He was born rich. My father gave me a small loan of a million dollars. He, you know, has steakhouses and luxury golf courses, and he wears nice briani suits and all the rest of it. But his tastes tend to be the tastes of normal people, not of just the upper crust of the upper crust of the aristocracy. When Trump orders his steak, he doesn't order it like all the fancy people do, rare or medium rare. He orders it burnt with

Starting point is 00:08:51 ketchup. When he wants entertainment, he doesn't go to the opera. I like the opera. He doesn't go to the opera. He doesn't go to the ballet. He goes to UFC. Trump goes to see the Knicks game because he couldn't. He said, this league is so left wing, but it's great entertainment. And they mock him for it. I think they mock him for it at their own peril. Normal people like that stuff. Okay. So that's mock him. He's too relatable. He's not pretentious enough. He's, look at this guy. He's not even condescending. Yeah, okay, I guess that's how he got elected at least twice and won the popular vote. Today on America, septum on a man. Uh-oh. Obama's reminded us who we are, bitch. I know that orange motherfucker is mad. I'm Batman. Bitch, you had all, you had Biden.

Starting point is 00:09:41 Bush, Clinton, Obama, bitch. It was given presidential Avengers, bitch. Okay? This is what America 250 is supposed to look like, bitch. Okay? This was America 250. I don't know what that shit on the White House lawn was. Michelle Obama, you know, America doesn't deserve her.

Starting point is 00:10:07 They don't deserve a Michelle Obama presidential run. You don't deserve Michelle LeVon, bitch. You don't deserve Michelle LeVon. He's just repeating himself seven times for every graceful, class, intelligence, graceful, class, intelligence, qualifications, bitch. Even through the disrespect. I was given hope today.

Starting point is 00:10:38 It was a hug that was, it was like a hug to the country. It really was. And I don't care what they say. You can never make me hate Barack Hussein and Michelle LeVarne, bitch. Play with your mother. Don't play with me. Why does he use their middle names or their maiden names? Yeah, black homosexual men are one of the stranger groups.

Starting point is 00:11:07 Because black men are one of the last groups in America who have retained. a real pride in masculine behavior. This is a point that the Harvard professor Harvey Mansfield made in his book, Manliness 20 years ago. Black men still retain a, they valorize masculinity, whereas other demographics don't really do that anymore. And so the black effeminate men, that's a weird one. I see.

Starting point is 00:11:38 So my sexuality is weird. And then it gets even. weirder. Well, one, I mean, you knew you were in for it the minute you saw that, not just a septum ring, but a septum ring on a man, that's really confounding. That's a red flag. But when he says how much he loves George Bush, I say, hold on, wait a second. I remember when Kanye U.S. was saying George Bush hates black people and Bush was Hitler and all this, but because you get all of the presidents and the first ladies other than Trump at the Barack Obama giant garbage can in the middle of Chicago, he says this was the presidential

Starting point is 00:12:11 adventures. And it just feels so contrived. It feels so corporate. And that's what he leans into at the end. He's like, oh, yeah, the Avengers, we just love, we just want to go back to George Bush and Joe Biden. That's what the people really want, do you? I don't think you do. He says, it's not a corporate event without those guys. And that's the real truth of it. Yeah, you're right. It's not. You're right. Yeah, all the big corporate events, they drag those kinds of people out. It feels the Bushes and the Bidens and Obama's to some degree. Yeah, they feel very corporate. I was possessed. And Trump's not that. He doesn't appeal to the corporate boardrooms. And he doesn't really appeal to, I don't know, to the old establishment. He kind of broke that, which is why he's the real rock star and the actual rock stars have become, I don't know, like politicians. Next one. What's so, y'all, man. Happy 4th of July, man. I don't know who need to hear this. But I'm at that age now where if you pop a fireworks after 12 o'clock, I'm calling the police on your head. There's too much shit going on with Trump, Iran.

Starting point is 00:13:11 You got to worry about the Y-Ns already. You can't even walk outside no more. So wrap that shit at 11.30 because when 12 a hit, I don't need to hear shit. That shit sounded like gunshots when 12 hit the last night. You feel me? And I'm not playing. But shit. Happy 4 July, man.

Starting point is 00:13:26 Y'all go eat something good today, man. I just had to get my little spill. That was fine. I don't really have a problem with that. I agree. I have little kids. I want people setting off fireworks and waking my kids up, dragging me out the next day. That's fine.

Starting point is 00:13:36 I don't know why he would blame, you know, Trump or anything for that. He vaguely references the war in Iran, but all the gunshots in these cities, those are all run by Democrats. But I agree with him. Yeah, I agree. I wouldn't have agreed 10 years ago, but I'm a father of four. I agree. I don't want them waking my kids up at night. All right, there's one, there's some bipartisan agreement at the end.

Starting point is 00:13:58 The rest of them pretty crazy. Happy Fourth of July. That was great content.
