Starting point is 00:00:00 The New York Times is Mara Gay went on television yesterday to push her usual race hustling nonsense. No surprise there. Nothing newsworthy. But during the interview, she exposed an awkward fact about herself and her radical colleagues. She admitted that she is disturbed by the American flag. I think as long as they see Americanness as the same as one with whiteness. This is going to continue. We have to figure out how to get every American a place at the table in this democracy,
Starting point is 00:00:37 but how to separate Americanness, America, from whiteness. Until we can confront that and talk about that, this is really going to continue. I was on Long Island this weekend visiting a really dear friend, and I was really disturbed. I saw dozens and dozens of pickup trucks with, you know, expletives against Joe Biden on the back of them, Trump flags, and some cases just dozens of American flags, which is also just disturbing because essentially the message was clear, it was, this is my country, this is not your country, I own this.
Starting point is 00:01:18 Explicatives, wow, New York Times editorial board. Maybe that's why she's on the board is she's making up new words, wants to separate Americanness from whiteness. Got to get the white people out of there. Not just disturbed by white people, though. Disturbed by the American flag, the symbol of the country itself. What we've been saying, you know, I hate to say, I told you so, what we've been saying from the beginning, this is not a movement against even some part of the country or some group
Starting point is 00:01:46 in the country, it's a movement against the country itself. Now, Mara's defenders are saying she was taken out of context. In reality, of course, the problem is that she was being taken entirely in context. Lots of other leftists getting caught saying ugly things in context, too. That Yale lecturer who wants to shoot white people, Joe Biden's degenerate son, Hunter, and even the vice president of the United States. We will give context to the context. I'm Michael Knowles.
Starting point is 00:02:13 It's the Michael Knowles show. Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment yesterday from Felicia, who says, I like to tune in to see what crazy claims Michael will make that will come true later on. Thank you. I'm so pleased to hear that. This has been a little strange recently is the things that we were saying on the show over a year ago that everyone, including many conservatives, said was completely insane. That's all being proven 100% completely correct.
Starting point is 00:02:47 Actually, the same sort of thing is happening to Alex Jones at the moment, a little in different ways. But I am reminded once a professor of mine from college who spends much of her time on the internet trying to get attention by mentioning her students who are now in public life. She does this to Ben's ass to. She once referred to me as the Alex Jones of the boogey. So I think that's what that commenter is seeing as well.

Maragay was driving around and she was horrified because she saw
Starting point is 00:04:40 American flags. This is very, very terrible. The American flags are the, if a white person waves the American flag, this is proof that America has something to do with whiteness, and that's horrible and people don't have a seat at the table. notice what she's saying here. She's not just saying that America needs to no longer be synonymous with whiteness. She's not just saying that other people have something, you know, other types of people, brown people, black people have something to do with America too. She's saying that America needs to be separated, completely separated from whiteness, that when white people and conservatives, you know, those are not the same group, but she's lumping them in together. When they are waving the American flag, when Trump supporters are waving the
Starting point is 00:05:26 American flag, that that is terrible. That's very disturbing. The irony, of course, too, is that Donald Trump did better among non-white groups than virtually any Republican in recent memory. Actually, the only group that he didn't gain in votes during the 2020 election was white people. But, again, the facts don't really matter to Mara Gay. Mara Gaye doesn't even know how to pronounce basic words, right? She's referring to explicatives. So this is a radical claim to say that we've got to totally separate America from whiteness because America's brought in lots of other people and plenty of people of all different backgrounds have contributed to America. However, if you get rid of the white people, you get rid of a lot of America, don't you? The Pilgrims on the Mayflower,
Starting point is 00:06:11 gone. The settlers at Jamestown, gone. The founding father's gone. Abraham Lincoln, gone. I mean, even today, white people are 60% of the country. So if you completely separate white white people from America, what do you have? You have a rather different looking country. Very different thing than saying, let's bring some other people into the country. Let's acknowledge the contributions of other people. That's not what this woman is saying. And she proves it with that final comment, I'm disturbed by the American flag. She says. So the New York Times comes out and defends this woman. They say New York Times editorial board member Mara Gay's comments on MSNBC have been irresponsibly taken out of context. Her argument was that Trump and many of his support,
Starting point is 00:06:55 orders have politicized the American flag. The attacks on her today are ill-informed and grounded in bad faith. Oh my goodness. I have a feeling Marigay just wrote this from the New York Times Communications Department. Just since the New York Times doesn't know basic words, since the New York Times doesn't understand very basic facts of language, I should teach them about this word politicize. You can't politicize a flag. A flag, you can't, is by definition, political. A nation's flag refers to its politics. It refers to the public.
Starting point is 00:07:31 The flag is a political symbol. What they're taking issue with here is that the flag used to be a political symbol that was embraced by all Americans, no matter their partisan differences. But today, it has become a political partisan symbol of the right because the left hates the flag, because the left hates the country, because the left protests the flag. says that the flag is as a symbol is a symbol of awful, terrible, bigoted, racist, whatever, because they hate the symbol. This is why they protested on football fields. This is why they protested on sneakers. This is why they protested in the halls of Congress. And this is why they're
Starting point is 00:08:11 embracing now other flags, like the rainbow flag. There's some new rainbow flag. They're embracing that one, like the BLM flag, but not the American flag. If anyone has politicized the American flag, it is the left. But what is the context here? What is the context that is missing. I don't, I don't really understand what that could be. She's very clear. Now, it's worth pointing out that Maragay is not the brightest bulb in the pack. Okay. Maragay very famously went on MSNBC with Brian Williams and detailed how for all of the money that Mike Bloomberg had spent on his political ads, he could have given Americans each $1 million. You see it as a possibility if he wants to spend a billion bucks beating this guy, he could do it.
Starting point is 00:08:58 Absolutely. Somebody tweeted recently that actually with the money he spent, he could have given every American a million dollars. I've got it. Let's put it up on the screen. When I read it tonight on social media, it kind of all became clear. Bloomberg spent 500 million on ads. U.S. population, 327 million. Don't tell us if you're ahead of us on the math.
Starting point is 00:09:19 He could have given each American $1 million. and I've had lunch money left over. It's an incredible way of putting it. It's an incredible way of putting it. It's true. It's disturbing. It does suggest, you know, what we're talking about here, which is there's too much money in politics. You just keep waiting for one of these two geniuses to realize that they're off by, oh, what, five orders of magnitude, six, how many?
Starting point is 00:09:47 For the amount of money, Mike Bloomberg could have paid every American $1. A little more than one dollar. Not one million dollars, one dollar. But this woman is not intelligent and she's not educated. And the same obviously is true of Brian Williams. It's not context. This is a classic leftist gaff where you accidentally say what you really mean. She's not the only one. Another anti-white agitator had the exact same excuse. You remember that lady at Yale, Dr. Aruna Kilanani? Well, Dr. Aruna Kilanani who said that she has fantasies of shooting white people in the head and dragging their dead bodies around and that the world would thank her for it. She's come out and said, she was taken out of context. She says, quote, too much of the discourse
Starting point is 00:10:32 on racist, dry, bland regurgitation of new vocabulary words like, what was that word that Marguet made? Explicative, yes. With no work in the unconscious. No work in the unconscious? Pause right there. She's saying, too much of this is this dry, sort of jarred. You know, opaque language. And that doesn't have work in the unconscious. What on earth does that mean? You're doing what you're accusing others of doing. Anyway, she says, if you want to hit the unconscious, you will have to feel real negative feelings. My speaking metaphorically about my own anger was a method for people to reflect on negative feelings, to normalize negative feelings. Because if you don't, it will turn into a violent action. That, not only is that in
Starting point is 00:11:20 It's actually the opposite of truth. She's saying that you need to feel, truly feel hatred for white people. Otherwise, you might harm white people. You need to feel hatred for people. You need to let that hatred flow through you or else you might act on it. But that's not how psychology works. What happens is the things you think actually have a relation, a positive correlation with the things that you do. This is a very basic observation. We even call it a very basic observation. We even call at the near occasion of sin. If you're sitting at the bar, there's a cute girl at the end of the bar, and you just think about how great it would be to pick that girl up and take her home, you will be more likely to do that. If you sit and stew on your anger and you have that guy
Starting point is 00:12:03 at the other end of the bar, you want to punch him in the face, the more you sit and work yourself up and get your emotions going, the more likely you are to actually punch that guy in the face. This is a completely opposite understanding of human nature and human psychology. Not surprising, though, because this lady is a cuck. Now, another Yaleie, Nicholas Christakis, he was the Yale professor who was screamed at by the girl who said that Yale is not an intellectual space. It's supposed to be a place of comfort in home. That was about five or six years ago. Christakis, he's a kind of soft liberal.
Starting point is 00:12:37 But, you know, he says many sensible things, but he's still a liberal, basically. He says, the racism expressed by Dr. Aruna Kilanani in a ground rounds at Yale, just released by Barry Weiss, his deposition. worrisome and counterproductive. Of course, as an invitee, she is free to speak on campus, but her views must be soundly rejected. Nope, she is free to speak on campus. This is tolerated, but Christakis' understanding of academic freedom here is farcical. It's a hoax. It is completely playing into the hands of the left. If this woman said the same thing about black people, she would not be permitted on campus, nor should she be. I don't think it's, I don't think our universities should be open to people talking about shooting whole groups of people in the head.
Starting point is 00:13:15 but we're supposed to say she's free to speak on campus because it's against white people. It's a double standard. It's based on a flawed understanding of academic freedom. And if we want to preserve our liberal education and our free speech, do you know what we got to do? We need to censor some things. We need to recognize that there will be limits always. I'm not even saying where there should be. I'm just saying that's the fact of society. Some things are in, some things are out. This is the topic of my upcoming book speech. This is controlling words, controlling minds. Available now for pre-order. I strongly recommend you check it out. I also recommend you check out.
Starting point is 00:13:45 Rock Auto. You need a car part. You have the brick and mortar store down the street. You have your computer or your phone right in front of you. And you think, you fool, you think that you're going to go to the brick and mortar store. You think that's going to be easier, right? So you go there, oh, you know what happens. They ask you a bunch of dumb questions about your car. You don't know the answer to. They go in the back, probably to an empty room. They don't have the part. They go online, probably to rock auto.com. They order the part. They charge you twice as much. Oh, if only you had listened to me. If all, you're going to be kicking yourself. You're going to say, ah, Michael was right.
Starting point is 00:14:18 I could have gone to rock auto.com, a family business. They got the same prices for pros and do it yourselfers. They don't change with all the gimmicky nonsense. Every Tuesday, three, you got to buy, but not at Wednesday. It's like, no, it's all right there. Catalog's so easy. Even I can peruse it. Go to rock auto.com right now.
Starting point is 00:14:36 See all the parts available for your car or truck. Right, Noel's, K&W. LES in there. How did you hear about this box so that they know that we sent you? This Yale professor, Nicholas Christakis, is saying, look, this psychologist who came and said she wants to shoot white people on campus, her views are terrible. They're racist, they should be rejected,
Starting point is 00:14:56 but her views, of course, must be protected on campus. No. No, they mustn't. They wouldn't be in the other direction. William F. Buckley Jr. talks actually uses almost this exact example in God and Man at Yale, the superstitions of academic freedom, the book that launched the post-war conservative movement, movement in which he says Yale would never permit a neo-Nazi or a white supremacist to teach in their sociology department. Now, they might permit a black supremacist, right? They might
Starting point is 00:15:28 permit one of these radicals in the other direction, but they would not permit it going one way, because there are standards. And nobody is advocating that they permit neo-Nazis to come on camp. I don't think that's what academic freedom means. But likewise, we shouldn't tolerate this crazy lady. Here's a good example of how academic freedom is a total hoax. There's a new study out. I hope I stay on YouTube for this. This one's good, oh, this is going to really test the limits. But it's a study. I got to read the study, right? There's a new study out from Med RXIV. It's not a peer reviewed server, but by the way, peer review is fake. It's not like a real thing. And there are plenty of studies that come out that do not have peer review. I'm just mentioning the
Starting point is 00:16:11 study. Okay. Is that enough of a preface? The study says hydroxychlorical. helps to fight COVID-19. I'm not allowed to say that. I know because Trump said it. And so if Trump said it, it's got necessarily false. And because Fauci, I guess, said not to do it, but he sort of tolerate, I don't know. I don't know. Just telling you what the study says, okay?
Starting point is 00:16:34 That hydroxychloroquine helps protect against COVID-19. Based on this analysis of 250 patients who were on invasive medical ventilation during the first two months of COVID, turned out that hydroxychloroquine was associated, it appears to be associated with a more than 100% increase in survival without a clear correlation to other sorts of abnormalities. You're really not allowed to say this. And frankly, this video might be taken down because many other videos have been taken down for suggesting the very same thing. Some studies are permitted, some studies are not. I read a study early on in the epidemic. where I pointed out that some scientists believe that they've come to this conclusion that the face masks don't do anything to stop coronavirus.
Starting point is 00:17:26 And that video was taken down. Right. We were actually not permitted to say that. Now, we have emails from Dr. Fauci admitting that that's true. We have video of Dr. Fauci on 60 minutes admitting that that's true. But the academic freedom, quote unquote, only exists within certain political limits. Some things are off limits. Some things are within bounds. And those changed by the day, according to prevailing political wins. This study, by the way, if the study is true,
Starting point is 00:17:56 just one more evidence that Trump was right. Speaking of COVID, speaking of political standards here, a world health organization member has come out to say that China not only did engage in a massive cover-up in its role in COVID-19. But actually, it is continuing to engage in that cover-up. The problem that we face here isn't the WHO. It's not even really Dr. Fauci. The problem is that Chinese have engaged in a massive cover-up that is going on going until until today involving destroying samples, hiding records, placing a universal gag order
Starting point is 00:18:36 on Chinese scientists, and imprisoning Chinese citizen journalists asking the most basic questions. That's what we need to get around. So that's a current member of the WHO Advisory Committee, Jamie Metzell. China is engaging in a massive cover-up. Yes, obviously, that's true. I'm not even interested in that. Do you know what cover-up I'm interested in? You know what cover-up is much more scandalous?
Starting point is 00:18:59 The cover-up by the media. The cover-up by the United States government. The cover-up by the executive agencies. Like, by the NIH, by Dr. Fauci. It's not just China that's covering this up. Yeah, they're hiding their numbers. They hid the virus. They're trying to hide their culpability. So did the mainstream media. They carried water for China the whole time. So did Dr. Fauci carried water for China. Caught in pretty serious lies saying that the United States was not funding
Starting point is 00:19:30 gain of function research, the kind of research that beefs up natural viruses and makes them deadlier and more transmissible. Then he got caught in that. And then when Rand Paul caught him in that, he said, look, we don't fund this. And then Rand Paul said, you're not funding. This doctor who's working on gain of function research. He said, look, okay, maybe we're funding him, but he's not working on gain of function research. And then not two seconds later, in the same breath, he says, and if he is, it's totally fine. I'm only slightly paraphrasing. He's not doing it, but if he is, it's totally fine. Don't worry about it. I want to talk about that cover up. I want to talk about how the media and the Fauci's and all these people said,
Starting point is 00:20:08 no chance was this a human engineered virus. This is totally 100% naturally occurring. Then we find out, oh, actually, it looks like it was human engineered. We just found that out. No chance did this come from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Oh, actually, yeah, no, it did. It almost certainly did. It didn't come from the white market.
Starting point is 00:20:26 It came from the lab. No chance did the United States fund this lab. Oh, whoops, here's a leak. Turns out we funded the lab. No chance. It's just lie after lie after cover up after cover up. I expect that from the Chinese conference. communist government. And frankly, I expect it from the media and I expect it from our public health
Starting point is 00:20:43 bureaucracy as well. But that's too bad, isn't it? It is more scandalous when our guys do that than when China does that. The lies are so brazen and it's not just in China. I got to give him credit, Lester Holt at NBC News, not the most conservative guy in the world, but Lester Holt was interviewing Kamala Harris sitting down about her trip to Guatemala and he asked her a simple, factual question. question. She lied. She contradicted herself. He caught her in it. And she had nothing to say. Do you have any plans to visit the border? At some point, you know, we are going to the border. We've been to the border. So this whole, this whole thing about the border, we've been to the border. We've been to the border. You haven't been to the border. And I haven't been to Europe.
Starting point is 00:21:34 And I don't understand the point that you're making. I'm not just kind of. the importance of the border. Well, I mentioned it because I know Republicans have certainly come at you on this, but Democratic Congressman Quayar, as a border district, has said to you and the president, come. You need to see this. Listen, I care about what's happening at the border. I'm in Guatemala because my focus is dealing with the root causes of migration.
Starting point is 00:21:59 There may be some who think that that is not important, but it is my firm belief that if If we care about what's happening at the border, we better care about the root causes and address them. And so that's what I'm doing. What kind of an answer was that? That was a classic Kamala answer. It is amazing that this woman has gotten into such a position of power, being so incompetent at the retail side of politics. Don't forget, people don't like her. She was one of, if not the first person out in the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries.
Starting point is 00:22:37 she is a brazen liar and she's not even that good at it. But behind the scenes, whether it's behind the scenes with Willie Brown in California, whether it's behind the scenes doing whatever else, she does find herself in positions of power. Why won't you go to the border? We have been to the border. You haven't been to the border. Well, yeah, but I haven't been to Europe either. Huh? Wait. What? You just said, we have been. We have been. So we, I can't believe I got to teach people very basic elements of language here. I got to teach the New York Times that explicative is not a word. I got to teach Kamala Harris what the first person plural pronoun is.
Starting point is 00:23:19 We, I know there's a lot of confusion about pronouns these days. We involves you. When you, Kamala, say we, you're implying that you have done something. So you said, we have been to the border. And then Lester Holt says, you haven't been to the border. And she's like, oh, yeah, that's true. But what's your point? The point is you just lied.
Starting point is 00:23:37 You lied right to my face. about something that is easily checked. You say, well, I haven't been to Europe either. Yeah, we don't have hordes of Germans pouring over the border right now. Yeah, right. We don't have 6,000 Italians a day violating our laws and coming. So, yeah, I guess our border with Italy, you know, that giant ocean there, that's not the biggest issue.
Starting point is 00:24:01 The issue is what's going on at the southern border, and she doesn't want to get to it. I do think, by the way, that part of the reason that, that, Joe Biden has given Kamala this job of dealing with the border stuff is to twist the knife, is because I don't think Biden and Kamala like each other very much. I think Kamala basically took her first big shot during the campaign by calling Joe Biden a racist. Okay. And Biden picked her because it was a weak field and he had backed himself into a corner where he said he was going to pick a black woman and there just weren't very many choices. So it was either her or that communist Karen Bass. So he had to pick her. But I don't think he likes her. He's sending her down
Starting point is 00:24:38 on this impossible job and she's failing at it. Now, that's not even the most outrageous thing that Kamala said at the border. Ben is going to be talking about outrageous things today on his show, including how Hunter Biden said the N word, the single word that you're not allowed to say. Hunter Biden said it and no one is going to care about it. When it comes to political commentary from a conservative news source in America, is there any question that the Daily Wire has the very best of it. From every single one of my episodes, I hope you've seen them all. Now, some of them, in the early days, some were not so great. But, you know, in the last few years, they've been right on top. To my co-workers' podcasts, to our writer's articles, there's always something
Starting point is 00:25:21 worth a read or a listen. But as we grow, so does our content. And if you don't keep up, you might fall behind. When you subscribe to the Daily Wire and download the app, you will find well over a thousand articles published every month. There's something like 50 articles a day, I think. Daily video content, lots of shows, so much more. Download the DailyWire app and stay up to speed with the freshest conservative voices around no matter where you are. We'll be right back with a lot more. Kamala Harris down in Guatemala, lying to Lester Holt's face about how she has been to the border when she actually hasn't. But the craziest thing, the most radical thing, she said in Guatemala, must have been taken out of context. That's what they say whenever the left says something that
Starting point is 00:26:17 reveals their true intentions and beliefs. Kamala Harris said that she wants CEOs from around the world to invest, not in America, in Guatemala. I will also continue to work with CEOs around the world to encourage investment in Guatemala. And Mr. President, I look forward to working with you on that. As I shared with you in Washington, D.C., I recently convened some of our biggest CEOs who have a profound interest for many reasons on supporting the work that happens here and the work that can happen here in Guatemala to again uplift folks who may have been overlooked or neglected, but also uplift the natural capacity and resources of this beautiful country. So there are two theories on how to deal with the illegal immigration problem, and these two
Starting point is 00:27:11 theories reflect two radically different visions of the world. There is the liberal empire, theory. Okay, the liberal empire view tries to deal with illegal immigration by getting to the alleged root causes of illegal immigration. So the liberal empire view of the world is, and the liberal empire view of America, which is being espoused by Kamala Harris and Joe Biden and others, is not that we need to just arrest illegals and ship them back across the border where they came from. It's not that we need to stop illegal aliens from access to. in government services and getting along just fine in our country, we need to create thriving economies and thriving political systems in basically every country in Latin America.
Starting point is 00:28:01 We need the root cause of illegal immigration is that El Salvador and Guatemala and Nicaragua and Honduras are not very good countries. They're not very nice. They're not pleasant. So people are fleeing them and they're not fleeing even political persecution a lot of the time so much as they're fleeing. the lack of economic opportunity. They're not stopping in Mexico, right? They're not stopping in the first country they get to away from their political system. They're going to America so they can make money.
Starting point is 00:28:27 Okay, fair enough. I understand why they're doing that. The root causes liberal empire view is we, it is our responsibility to turn Guatemala into a thriving, Madisonian democracy that has a booming economy and lots of industry and then people won't leave. That's what Kamala Harris wants to do. So she's inviting CEOs to Guatemala. Then there is the actual way to stop illegal immigration. The actual way to stop illegal immigration, you might call this the nationalist view, is to say, hey, the U.S. government has a responsibility to U.S. citizens and to U.S. workers, and we're not going to tolerate you pouring across our border. And when you do it, you know what we're going to do? We're going to ship you back. And if you somehow get through, you're not going to be able to get a job.
Starting point is 00:29:13 And even if you can work in the black market in some way, you're not going to be able to access any government services. Life is going to be hard for you here if the first thing you do is violate our laws. If your very presence in the country is a crime, we're not going to make it easy for you and you're going to go back. And by the way, if you do make money here and you try to send it back home, we're going to tax your remittances. And we're going to force employers to make sure that they're not hiring illegal aliens. We're just going to actually, we're not going to deal with the root causes, whatever that means. We're not going to create thriving Madisonian democracies in Honduras. We're just going to stop you from coming into the country and boot you out when we catch you.
Starting point is 00:29:55 Right. That strategy works. You will not make Madisonian democracies out of all the countries of Latin America. It's just not going to. That's not how politics works. And we also don't have the time or resources to do that. It's hard enough to keep our own country on the rails. and we're not doing a great job at that either.
Starting point is 00:30:15 We're not going to do it for every other country in Latin America and on earth, much as the liberal imperialists want to. This nationalist idea is actually being advocated now, not by the extreme right-wing fascist Trump. Mitt Romney tweeted this out. He tweeted out exactly what I said. I can't believe I'm saying this. I agree with Mitt Romney 100% on this issue today.
Starting point is 00:30:37 I know he changes his view sometimes, but today he and I agree 100%. The way to stop illegal immigration is to deport illegal aliens. It's to close down our border. It's to put in measures like e-verify. It's to do things like tax remittances. It's to deal with the issue here in America because that's what the United States has a responsibility to do, deal with our own country and protect our own people. How outrageous, if you are out of work, there are a lot of people out of work, you're out of work right now.
Starting point is 00:31:08 And you're somewhere in middle America and you hear your vice president. going out and lobbying CEOs, not on your behalf, not on behalf of her own country, but on behalf of some foreign nation, somewhere else in the world. But that's their view. That is their view of the relationship of the American government to the American people. That really it has no special responsibility, that the American government is the liberal empire and its citizens really are just the citizens of the world. So Joe Biden sends Kamala Harris to the border, I assume to make her look bad. Biden's got big problems in his own family, though. So Ben is going to be talking about this at length today. But this is the big shocking scandal
Starting point is 00:31:57 of Hunter Biden. This is probably the least shocking scandal that Hunter Biden has ever been involved in, but this is the one that's getting a lot of attention now. Hunter Biden used the N-word. in a private text. The N-word. Now, how did the N-word become the N-word? You know, this is a word, I truly, I cannot say it. We all know what I'm referring to, so I don't need to say it. But this word is the only unutterable word in the English language. Plenty of words are discouraged, but this one is unutterable. And that's a fairly new situation. I actually detail how this happened in my upcoming of speech, controlling words, controlling minds, which is available now
Starting point is 00:32:35 for pre-order. The New York Times was printing this word until quite recently, actually. But now we won't print this word. It will only print the N-word. Hunter Biden, while texting with his white, very expensive lawyer, said things like true debt, N-word. Now, you know, there's two kinds of N-word. Hard R and soft R. Okay. You know, I don't, I can't say it because if I do, I will be banished to the outer darkness where there's wailing and gnashing of teeth. So I can't even say it to describe it to you. But there's, there's, There's one that ends in er, and there's one that ends in a. And uh is a little softer and more colloquial, and people use it in a more friendly context.
Starting point is 00:33:20 And then the er is decidedly unfriendly. Hunter used the uh, okay? So he was used, I'm not defending anything that Hunter Biden's ever done for that matter, but he was just using this in a private message. Now this is the unforgivable sin. That's what they're going to get him on. That's what they're going to get him on? No, they actually, he won't, he won't face any consequences for this, even though this is supposedly the worst thing he's ever done.
Starting point is 00:33:47 The guy has used illicit drugs, the guy cheated on multiple wives, including then shacking up with his dead brother's widow and then cheating on her with a stripper with whom he had a child that he refuses to acknowledge and that Joe Biden very cruelly refuses to acknowledge. Joe Biden will not acknowledge one of his grandchildren. Good old friendly Uncle Joe, right? Oh, sweet old grandpa Joe Biden just will not acknowledge this girl's existence. Can you imagine you're this little girl? Your grandpa is the president of the United States. He refuses to acknowledge that you're alive. All that no big deal. Then you had the political problems. This guy was taking, that's the personal scandal. The political scandal is this guy was shaking down foreign governments and taking bribes for political favors from his father. And there's a lot of evidence. that his father carried through on some of those favors, notably in Ukraine, but he was also taking money and taking meetings in China for skills that he does not possess and enriched himself tremendously this way. Doesn't matter. There were videos of him on the internet right now, videos of him with prostitutes overseas doing all sorts of things of very dubious legality from a laptop that was discovered before the election that, very few people know anything about because big tech colluded with the liberal state to shut it down.
Starting point is 00:35:14 When that story broke about Hunter Biden's laptop, you weren't even allowed to privately message the story. Because there's one set of standards for some people and one set for another. Hunter Biden says the N-word, he'll be fine. Doesn't matter. If Hunter Biden's not going to get in trouble for taking bribes and selling out the U.S. government, he's not going to get in trouble for saying a word. Now, if you said the N-word, you would get in trouble. Your life would be ruined. Hunter Biden, completely different. I'll show you the double standard. Kelly Stewart, she was somebody on ESPN, apparently.
Starting point is 00:35:46 She has been fired. She was a betting analyst there. She has been fired because nine years ago, she sent some tweets using a slur for homosexuals. This is a slur that... has been very common in popular discourse over the years. It has meant many things. It means a bundle of sticks. It means a cigarette in the United Kingdom.
Starting point is 00:36:12 And she used this just on social media nine years ago. They ax her for it. They're not going to axe Hunter Biden. They're not going to act. They're going to axe Megan Kelly for talking about blackface. But they're not going to axe Joy Behar, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Ralph Northam, Justin Trudeau for wearing blackface. Because it has nothing to do.
Starting point is 00:36:40 It has nothing to do with the rule itself. It has everything to do with the imposition. That is the mechanism of political correctness. Which is something I observe and explain in my upcoming book speech. It's controlling words, controlling minds. Speaking of allegedly offensive things, more statues are coming down. Remember in Charlottesville?
Starting point is 00:36:59 there was that awful attack, was it four years ago? Really, I'm not being facetious here, they're actually why guy drove in and killed a girl. So there was this bad attack, and it was associated with a march that was ostensibly to defend historical statues, specifically of Confederate monuments. And so these issues now are totally blended together. The protest, and also because there were some savory people
Starting point is 00:37:29 at this rally, but there were also some very unsavory people. Donald Trump got in trouble for saying there were very fine people on both sides. And they said, you're called white supremacists very fine people. Joe Biden launched his presidential campaign on that. You can play the tape. Donald Trump specifically said, I'm not referring to neo-Nazis, or white supremacists or whatever. I'm not referring to them, right? But because of this, Charlottesville has now being treated as one of the darkest days in the history of the United States. Notice when we talk about Black Lives Matter, which during those BLM riots, many, many more people were killed than at Charlottesville, bad event, right? But BLM, no, that was mostly peaceful. That was a wonderful protest for justice and progress. But any other event, even if it's much less deadly,
Starting point is 00:38:20 even if it's much more contained, that's much, much worse. Because there, obviously is a double standard here. So what about the issue? We're not talking about the guy who killed that lady. He's going to rot in prison. We're not talking about the bad people. We're just talking about the bad people. We're just talking at the historical question, should we tear down statues? Well, the answer now, I guess, is yes. Robert E. Lee came down or is coming down and Stonewall Jackson is coming down. This is very dangerous stuff. And the fact that some conservatives still don't get this is a big problem, because we already know how this ends. Right. During the Charlottesville event, Donald Trump came out and he said, look, maybe you don't like Robert E. Lee, maybe you don't like Stonewall Jackson. Robert E. Lee, by the way,
Starting point is 00:39:04 was actually rather an admirable guy. Fought for a bad cause, but he was an admirable guy. But he said, maybe, let's say you hate Robert E. Lee, you hate Stonewall Jackson, you hate all these people. It's not about them. Today they're tearing down Robert E. Lee. Tomorrow they're going to be tearing down Thomas Jefferson. And everyone laughed at Trump. And then within a year or two, he was proven 100% correct. That's what they were doing. I had to go give a speech at Georgetown, George Washington University. to defend George Washington because they wanted to cancel George Washington at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., for goodness sakes. That's what happens. When you start to tear down your past, there's no limiting principle. You're going to, they're going to be tearing down statues of BLM
Starting point is 00:39:51 within some decades because they're going to find some problems with BLM finally. They're going to tear down everybody. It's a purely negative campaign. Okay. And what's the argument? The argument for tearing down all of these things is that America is an evil white supremacist terrible country in which, to quote LeBron James, black people can't walk out the door without being hunted down. That is obviously not true. Just a little quick clip, there was a video out of Chicago of a cop car driving for a neighborhood, lots of people around, basically all the people around were black. and you can see on the clip that a woman is twerking
Starting point is 00:40:29 on, two women are twerking on the hood of the cop car as it's driving. And the cops are saying, get off the car. And all sorts of people. And basically, I think every single person, maybe including the cops in this video, is black. Oh, I'm sorry, three women are twerking on the cop car.
Starting point is 00:40:46 Lots of people are touching it and the cops are doing nothing. They're just driving very slowly and saying, please, please come off the car. There is no problem. police brutality. Isolated instances maybe as an epidemic problem, it simply doesn't exist. The police are not overly forceful. If anything, the police are insufficiently forceful because they're letting these people dance on cop cars while they're driving around. Goodness, great. And I get why they're insufficiently forceful because they know that if they use any force, their lives will be destroyed.
Starting point is 00:41:17 The reality of the situation in the United States is very, very different than the narrative that we're told by the left. The argument that America is oppressive and evil to people with, not forget race for a second, forget even sex. Let's talk about sexual identity. That is also ridiculous. Burger King just tweeted out yesterday. Burger King. Burger King tweets that quote. They're referring to their chicken sandwich. The chicken is chicken as their chicken sandwich says LGBTQ plus rights. They don't. says what? They're just saying, it's like when Kirsten Gillibrand was filmed during her failed presidential campaign. It was during a Pride event. She just goes, gay rights. I was like, well, what about them?
Starting point is 00:42:09 What are you saying? They say the same thing. They say, during Pride Month, even on Sundays, your chicken sandwich craving can do good. We are making a donation to HRC for every chicken sold. This is a direct shot at Chick-fil-A and through Chick-fil-A, this is a direct shot at Christians. What they're saying is that they're going to donate to one of the most evil organizations in the entire country, the human rights campaign. The human rights campaign is this preposterously named organization that existed to get, and it founded by some very, very unsavory people who've done very, very creepy things, founded to redefine marriage. and they succeeded at redefining marriage. They're the organization with the equals sign. And because they succeeded at that,
Starting point is 00:42:54 but they wanted to keep their money coming in, they now have moved on to the transgender issue, which is ironic because it seems to in many ways undercut the homosexual rights issue. And now they want you to trans your kids, right? So now the HRC, I mean, truly a vile, wicked organization that should not exist in this country
Starting point is 00:43:12 is getting money from your whopper on Pride Month, even on Sundays. Ha ha, ha. Get it? Chick-flay's closed on. Sundays because it's a Christian company, but we're an anti-Christian company. Ha ha, yeah, we're so subversive. We're so subversive. What are you talking about? That's the dominant culture. Right now, if you went out in the dominant culture and you espoused a modern, secular, atheist, liberal worldview on anything, on life, on sex, on rights, on government,
Starting point is 00:43:41 do you think that would get you into more trouble than if you were a Christian and you went out and just expressed the Christian view of these things? No, of course not. You could lose your job, you could lose your place in society, you could lose your reputation, if you espoused Christian Orthodoxy. In fact, if you want to maintain those sorts of things, your place in society, your reputation, your job, very often you have to, to some degree implicitly or explicitly, go along with leftist orthodoxy. And it's very hard to keep up with that orthodoxy.
Starting point is 00:44:12 There is now a battle brewing on the sexual revolutionary left between the bisexuals and the pansexuals. What is a pansexual? I'm, you know, being Italian, I've often considered myself a pansexual. You get some nice fatty meats frying up in there. Oh man, that gets my motor running, baby. There are very few, no. That's not whatever. It's not sexual attraction to pans and the delicious foods in them. It is sexual attraction, I guess, to just everything, or the sexual identity involving just everything. It's very vague. And this is, is, is, offensive to bisexual people who actually believe that there is a gender dichotomy, right? There's men and women, and those are the two things. There's now more than two things.
Starting point is 00:45:00 So a brilliant sexual philosopher and girl with green hair and tattoos and piercings and things and apparently a paperclip through her nose came out and explained this issue. Guess what? F*** my patience has run out. Pansexuality is not inherently bifobic. They are both valid sexualities. Both of them. And while yes, I have seen pansexual people use that label for questionable reasons, they pretty quickly get it once you explain things to them. They do. And not only that, but do you know who likes to use specific or microlabels? Neurodivergent people. Sometimes we just have to do whatever we can to feel safe and comfortable. And using a more specific label can be our outlet for that.
Starting point is 00:45:50 that energy you spend calling people bifobic and saying they're performing bi-arasure and just educated them? There would be less bifobia. There would be less bi-arasure. Because you've explained it and people will know the difference. I have fucking had it with you guys. Jesus f***. Okay, I've only got a couple minutes here and I've got to process that and try to explain it. She's obviously wrong about everything here, but I think what she's trying to say is that the pansexual people and the bisexual people have totally different views of the world. They're completely incompatible and contradictory. But actually, that's not a problem because we're going to tolerate all of these things. And we're going to add another complication here that neurodivergent people,
Starting point is 00:46:31 which is, I believe it's a euphemism for people with autism. I could be wrong, but it refers to people who have sort of quirky ways of seeing the world. I believe that's what it means. So they actually prefer the specificity. So you've got to be tolerant of that too. And if we just have education, then we'll all understand. But the problem is you can't, education is not going to solve this problem of incompatible visions, right? The law of non-contradiction. You can't simultaneously hold views coherently that contradict one another. So it doesn't solve the problem, but she's very exasperated. I mean, frankly, there's no difference between what this girl is doing and what John Oliver does or what John Stewart did, right? They would just, they would say some stupid
Starting point is 00:47:15 liberal talking point, but then they would just scream an expletive. It's a, you know, we need to radically redefine marriage or whatever. Babies aren't babies. And it's the current year. And then they would just scream like, F, you know, come on, what the F? Or whatever. And that was supposed to substitute for an argument. Where are people learning this?
Starting point is 00:47:34 They're learning it on Nickelodeon. Nickelodeon now teaming up with a drag queen to teach kids about all of the pan, and the by and the divergence and the everything. Pride, everybody! Every color is out to be me Every time that I see That prize life because living is a gift Orange means healing and we have to persist
Starting point is 00:48:10 In working to heal the world And healing our sex Yellow means sunlight because means nature And we got a fight To king home for life All right, pause, pause Hold, I can't, you know, it is the pan I was following it and the trans
Starting point is 00:48:33 and I was sort of following that. And the buy, okay, then they added the divergence thing. And I thought, okay, that seems unrelated, but I'll bring that in. And now they're bringing in environmentalism, and I'm extraordinarily, extraordinarily confused. I think maybe that's the point. I think the point might be to keep us confused. You know, you look at these things in context, though, and you start to get the idea.
Starting point is 00:48:54 I think the point is to stop us from thinking, to stop us from questioning, to stop us from debating, and to just go along with it. I'm Michael Knowles.
