To Michael Knowles from your haters.
I'm told that I am on Reddit.
Not like I do Reddit, like post Reddit stuff, but I'm apparently a subject of Reddit.
You can tell I'm not a Reddit poster because I don't have the fedora and I'm not a cringe atheist.
But I have apparently made it to the big leagues, folks.
So my producers thought it would be amusing if I read it.
read some of the fan mail from one of the sewers of the internet. Okay, here we go. Michael Knowles
is classified as a level three domestic terrorist. You must avoid domestic terrorists at all costs.
Do I want to be a level one? What is level one higher than level three, like is in terms of importance?
Or is level three, does it ascend? And then how high does it go? Is level three the highest? I would be
honored by such a classification. No explanation of what terrorism I've engaged in. But what if it goes
to 10? And I'm just a level 3 one. Like I don't even make the, I don't even make the big leagues as a
domestic terrorist. You know, terrorism does have a definition, which is when you target civilians
with violence to achieve political ends, which to my knowledge, I don't think I've ever done.
It's very strange because the kind of people who would say this would also sympathize with actual
terrorists. It's kind of funny. Okay. All right. I was a little unsatisfying because I just don't know
where the numbers are supposed to go. Bro literally looks like an edgy middle schooler. Was that so bad?
They're telling me I aged gracefully. They're telling me that I'm a little fountain of youth.
Because the other knock that I get a lot is people think I'm older than I am. Because maturity ages
you. You know, wisdom really ages you. You know, a lady never tells, but I will. I'm 35. People
sometimes think I'm 40 or something or older.
Now they're saying I look like an edgy middle school. That's cool.
Am I just a youthful sex symbol or am I a mature, wizened example of, I don't know, elder statesmanship?
This is from Peppercorn 666, number of the beast. Okay.
Michael, you ever consider self-immolation as a show of your support?
This is in response to a tweet.
Because I tweeted out, I said, voted for Trump in 2016.
I actually had a typo.
I said, I voted for Trump in 2016.
I voted for Trump with even greater enthusiasm in 2020.
I will crawl over broken glass to vote for Trump in 2024.
Oh, that was last year before the election.
This is Michael, you ever consider self-immolation?
That's kind of clever.
You know, like sometimes a monk, like a Buddhist monk will light himself on fire or other,
sometimes other unhinged people will just, that's good.
He's telling me, if he's in case you, he's telling me to kill myself.
I'm not going to do it because that's a grave mortal sin.
and so I'm not going to do it.
Too bad on you. Pepper corn 666, nice try.
Not going to work, Buster.
They've got to give me better stuff than this.
This isn't spicy.
That was mild peppercorn.
So this is in response to some post,
some tweet I had made.
Corpus Christi,
an important feast that dates back over 750 years,
not a federal holiday.
Juneteenth, a fake thing
the Libs invented five minutes ago,
a federal holiday. Weird!
Just an observation I made on the tweets.
Response to that was, I know two things are for certain about Michael.
He too is a religious fascist, and he hates black people.
This is a point to clarify.
This is a good teachable opportunity for the user is deleted,
which unless that's some kind of esoteric thing, I guess, doesn't exist anymore.
Fascism is a political philosophy, ideology,
that was developed by a number of people, but notably Mussolini, Giovanni Gentile, other people.
The ideology of fascism is grounded on making an idol of the state. Ideologies tend to exalt one thing over another.
Nazism exalts the race. Communism exalts the class. Those of us who want a more religious kind of political order, we would be exulting God. We would be exulting religion. Those are just different things. A little point of clarification. And then I hate black people because I don't want to, I don't want Juneteenth. Juneteenth is fake. There are like five black people.
people who had ever heard of Juneteenth before five years ago. It's not a real thing.
Do you know what Juneteenth celebrates? Doesn't celebrate the Emancipation Proclamation, because
that was put out by an evil white man, so it can't be that. It doesn't celebrate the 13th
Amendment, which was ratified by those evil white men, which actually freed the slaves.
Juneteenth celebrates the day. I think I'm right about this. It celebrates the day that the
mailman made it to Texas and told some town in Texas that the Civil War was over and the slaves were
free. It's like, that is it.
It's mailman day.
Mailman in Texas Day.
Why is that a federal holiday?
Would make much more sense for a feast like Corpus Christi or any other number of religious feasts.
Juneteenth.
Okay, next one.
Go to hillsdale.edu slash Knowles, KnaWLES.
There's a lot of confusion in the world today.
Have you noticed?
It's hard to find clarity and truth.
A new Hillsdale College miniseries on Colonial America offers a powerful reminder that the first Americans were searching for the same thing.
They believed faith and reason revealed God's design for the world, and that understanding became
the foundation, their bravery, and their freedom.
It is a stirring look at the ideas that still hold us together today.
Hillsdale College has created a fascinating six-part documentary series where their professors
explore the religious, political, cultural, and economic ideas that shaped America's unique
character during the colonial period.
You will discover why the idea of liberty, especially religious liberty, drove settlers to risk
everything crossing the Atlantic, how early Americans built local governments to run.
rule and protect themselves, and why America became a place where virtue could lead to peace
and prosperity. While most of us know about the Declaration of Independence as the birth of our
nation, this course digs deeper into something a little more fundamental, the forging of the
American character that made the revolution possible in the first place, and why reclaiming
that character matters more than ever today. You know, this is a hobby horse of mine. I talk about
the Mayflower a lot. Mayflower, great cigar brand. Best part, this mini-series is completely free and
easy to access. If you want to learn more, Hillsdale has over 40 other free online courses on
everything. Right now, go to Hillsdale.edu slash Knowles, CanadaWLAS to enroll. No cost, easy to get

at edu slash Knowles. Stipulation says 100%. Of all the daily wire folks, Matt Walsh is a dumb
ASS and Shapiro has stupid religious beliefs and his audience captured to hell.
But Knowles, I swear to our Lord, killed squirrels in his backyard as a kid.
You know, wow, man, that's funny.
Because usually whenever people are throwing stones at DW, so they'll hit Ben for something
he believes or for his voice or something.
And then they'll, or for some issue he got wrong, like Trump or something.
And then they'll hit Matt for, I don't know, sure, they could insult his intelligence or they'll insult his look or so they'll insult.
But usually the way they attack me is they say, oh, Michael's nice, you know, he's like, he's too nice.
He's like a wimp.
He's not, she needs to be meaner.
Like he's got to be like brutal, like mad or, you know, just like slicing his back.
It's like Ben or so.
Like they'll compare me unfavorably to my colleague.
but it's always like I'm too nice.
This one, they're saying I'm a sociopath,
and they're saying Ben and Matter, the nice ones.
Which I guess I should be honored about.
Because maybe that's true.
Think about that.
Try getting a reservation of Dorsey now.
Okay.
All right.
Well, that's interesting.
I kind of like that one.
That's kind of fun.
Saying I'm a killer, man.
I'm a psycho.
And we're coming down to the end of these.
From is from deleted.
Michael Knowles has no authority on telling who is
and who isn't a white supremacist.
he literally advocated Arbite-Macht-Fri talking points in the political compass video
on the question about inflation versus unemployment.
Arbite-Macht-Frae means work makes you free, which was over Auschwitz.
And I said, I'm trying to think I want to be fair to this person.
I don't think I said Arbite-Macht-Fri, but my view of freedom is that freedom involves doing things
and freedom is for something and it's not just, you know, like loafing around.
So I guess, I don't know, I sort of, he's wrong in as much as I'm not a Nazi.
I didn't, you know, I wasn't rejected from art school.
But he probably is like getting onto something about how I understand freedom.
Anyway, fascists do sure love trying to dictate who he is and isn't fascist.
I know he said white supremacist, but the point still remains.
Also, those aren't the same thing.
I'm not, I'm not a skinhead, not a fascist.
I bet my life savings on all my organs that Michael Knowles is a racial essentialist of some
kind. Racial essentialist. What does that even mean? The racial, like the races are pure, pure essence,
like a body. I am a swarthy, southern Italian, you ever see true romance? That'll tell you
something. Southern Italian. Anglo-Irish American, whose forebears go back to the Mayflower,
which is a great cigar company, by the way. Does he mean that, like, race exists, that there is a
variety among the races, I suppose I believe that. I don't know anyone who would seriously
dispute that, including the libs. The libs are all about like, we got to protect the race. They have a
group called La Raza. Anyway, so I posted this picture from AI. It's AI slot. But it was,
remember Chris Van Hollen is this Maryland Democrat senator? And he got all upset because of this
illegal gangster that got deported to El Salvador. And he was so upset. Kilmar, a
Grego Garcia name.
Kilmar, you know, he goes down as this
lunch with Kilmar.
He ignores all of his constituents.
He's just got his heart beating out of his chest
for a face tattooed gangster.
And so I tweeted, I said,
Senator Van Hollen's heart wants what his heart wants.
It's a nice little picnic, romantic picnics,
some flowers, some wine.
And Kestrel Quill Penn says,
personally, I'd much rather be gay
than be Michael Knowles.
Or wait, I am gay.
Wait, never mind.
Okay, I'd rather take part in a gay
T4T sex pile. What's a T4T? I don't want to know. Whatever T4T is, I don't want to know. And be Michael.
Well, obviously, I would. Why is that even a question? Okay, forget the witticisms. Too long,
didn't read, I'm gay A.F. And Michael is a total. See you next Tuesday as usual. Okay. It's funny,
because often my beloved fans like this, usually they'll call me gay.
Like Michael, you know, he drinks the martini, tap dances on the desk.
He wears his sweaters and jackets are a little too nice.
He's a Fanoque.
You are gay.
And so that's Yushi.

But this one is saying, NERL, the guy says, I'd rather.
be gay than be Michael. So he's calling me straight. So I don't actually, these letters aren't that bad.
They're saying I'm like a psycho killer. I'm too straight. I'm, I don't know, I'll take it, man.
It's weird. I go on Twitter and it's, I just get pummeled all day. Or it depends on if I'm
featured on someone else's YouTube channel, just get pummeled. Or I get these nasty emails,
sometimes threatening to kill me. I go on Reddit. It's all kind of nice. But they,
They think they're being mean, but they're actually being nice.
Forget about YouTube and Facebook and Twitter and TV.
I'm gonna be a Reddit man now, my lady.
Get me a fedora!
See you next time.
