RUSH TRANSCRIPT I m ░░░░░░░░ today to bring on ░░░░░░░░ first guest Michael Knowles ░░░░░░░░ I m not just ░░░░░░░░ a mind because we ░░░░░░░░ a trauma bad because ░░░░░░░░ both done a the ░░░░░░░░ podcast but be we ░░░░░░░░ comedy Harris s DNC ░░░░░░░░ last week doing daily ░░░░░░░░ coverage for for the ░░░░░░░░ wire I think you ░░░░░░░░ build a connection when ░░░░░░░░ have to to witness ░░░░░░░░ go through that but ░░░░░░░░ saw a story that ░░░░░░░░ me think of you ░░░░░░░░ The federalist today walking ░░░░░░░░ how Tim waltz in ░░░░░░░░ wanted to establish basically ░░░░░░░░ program and did establish ░░░░░░░░ teachers have to be ░░░░░░░░ side and comply with ░░░░░░░░ regulations that they have ░░░░░░░░ affirm the most radical ░░░░░░░░ ideologies of students the ░░░░░░░░ radical gender transitions Basically ░░░░░░░░ that social justice says ░░░░░░░░ s ago and if ░░░░░░░░ teachers don t do ░░░░░░░░ they won t be ░░░░░░░░ and they won t ░░░░░░░░ allowed to teach And ░░░░░░░░ obviously we discussed a ░░░░░░░░ about You know that ░░░░░░░░ mongering narratives about book ░░░░░░░░ the looming book bans ░░░░░░░░ Republicans are trying to ░░░░░░░░ warfare across this country ░░░░░░░░ and I think it ░░░░░░░░ an interesting juxtaposition they ░░░░░░░░ right with Why is ░░░░░░░░ acceptable and appropriate to ░░░░░░░░ taught in classrooms I ░░░░░░░░ t even really cede ░░░░░░░░ to the left are ░░░░░░░░ this and calling it ░░░░░░░░ bans are trying to ░░░░░░░░ books are trying to ░░░░░░░░ just degenerate material pornography ░░░░░░░░ that children as young ░░░░░░░░ six and five shouldn ░░░░░░░░ be reading but I ░░░░░░░░ to just kind of ░░░░░░░░ your your thoughts on ░░░░░░░░ story and more broadly ░░░░░░░░ discourse that we ve ░░░░░░░░ developing and really I ░░░░░░░░ kind of increasing over ░░░░░░░░ bans Two males is ░░░░░░░░ long Obsession with pushing ░░░░░░░░ sex stuff on kids ░░░░░░░░ quite disturbing You sure ░░░░░░░░ obviously is He was ░░░░░░░░ of tampons into the ░░░░░░░░ grade boys bathroom You ░░░░░░░░ this as he was ░░░░░░░░ that Minnesota become a ░░░░░░░░ A refuge for trans ░░░░░░░░ Leave your of leave ░░░░░░░░ family s kids and ░░░░░░░░ over here to Minnesota ░░░░░░░░ wanted to turn Minnesota ░░░░░░░░ to the windowless white ░░░░░░░░ of the midwest and ░░░░░░░░ seems that he succeeded ░░░░░░░░ at that and it ░░░░░░░░ ironic because he s ░░░░░░░░ the Republican ticket Trump ░░░░░░░░ jd Vance is weird ░░░░░░░░ s is positioning himself ░░░░░░░░ normal of course there ░░░░░░░░ nothing normal about trying ░░░░░░░░ turn a little boy ░░░░░░░░ a little girl There ░░░░░░░░ nothing normal about talking ░░░░░░░░ all this weird sex ░░░░░░░░ with kids but there ░░░░░░░░ have It he s ░░░░░░░░ pushing this especially on ░░░░░░░░ school s obviously reminder ░░░░░░░░ Republicans not to take ░░░░░░░░ Democrat beat You know ░░░░░░░░ the Democrats have been ░░░░░░░░ that Republicans want to ░░░░░░░░ books Tim Walz has ░░░░░░░░ pushing this Josh Shapiro ░░░░░░░░ governor of Pennsylvania was ░░░░░░░░ over for McConnell is ░░░░░░░░ mate He pushed this ░░░░░░░░ the DNC and I ░░░░░░░░ you know Republicans want ░░░░░░░░ deny it so we ░░░░░░░░ t want to ban ░░░░░░░░ from schools but I ░░░░░░░░ speak for myself At ░░░░░░░░ I certainly do I ░░░░░░░░ t think we should ░░░░░░░░ pedaling weird pornography in ░░░░░░░░ the kind of pornography ░░░░░░░░ the left has been ░░░░░░░░ all the way down ░░░░░░░░ elementary schools I do ░░░░░░░░ to ban those books ░░░░░░░░ schools but you know ░░░░░░░░ Democrats want to ban ░░░░░░░░ to the only differences ░░░░░░░░ the Republicans want to ░░░░░░░░ pornography from the schools ░░░░░░░░ Democrats want to ban ░░░░░░░░ bible for instance in ░░░░░░░░ bible has been banned ░░░░░░░░ public schools for about ░░░░░░░░ years now So there ░░░░░░░░ there s not a ░░░░░░░░ of free speech versus ░░░░░░░░ It s just a ░░░░░░░░ of what kind of ░░░░░░░░ we re going to ░░░░░░░░ under and and this ░░░░░░░░ why the transgender issues ░░░░░░░░ so polarizing because either ░░░░░░░░ man can become a ░░░░░░░░ or he can t ░░░░░░░░ if you can then ░░░░░░░░ guess that s true ░░░░░░░░ everybody including kids and ░░░░░░░░ you can t as ░░░░░░░░ men cannot not and ░░░░░░░░ shouldn t be peddling ░░░░░░░░ on kids or or ░░░░░░░░ for that matter and ░░░░░░░░ you ve kind of ░░░░░░░░ to pick a side ░░░░░░░░ s that s what ░░░░░░░░ are about It s ░░░░░░░░ picking a side you ░░░░░░░░ the site of to ░░░░░░░░ and scandalize and kids ░░░░░░░░ pedal weird sex stuff ░░░░░░░░ or on the side ░░░░░░░░ and use the word ░░░░░░░░ they really like The ░░░░░░░░ people like Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ jd Vance and the ░░░░░░░░ The same I think ░░░░░░░░ and dictionary georgette say ░░░░░░░░ they play with misinformation ░░░░░░░░ disinformation and conspiracy theories ░░░░░░░░ they don t really ░░░░░░░░ to describe what exactly ░░░░░░░░ books are that we ░░░░░░░░ banning make It seem ░░░░░░░░ we just wanna take ░░░░░░░░ any bug that wouldn ░░░░░░░░ have fit under Donald ░░░░░░░░ s 17 Seventy six ░░░░░░░░ in our it s ░░░░░░░░ the six 19 project ░░░░░░░░ of it s not ░░░░░░░░ blown revisionist history get ░░░░░░░░ out of the classes ░░░░░░░░ I think your personal ░░░░░░░░ of experience with this ░░░░░░░░ the problem perfectly gland ░░░░░░░░ the University of Buffalo ░░░░░░░░ just revealed today that ░░░░░░░░ were added You know ░░░░░░░░ re you re a ░░░░░░░░ a persona non grata ░░░░░░░░ don t know if ░░░░░░░░ ever had any standing ░░░░░░░░ to begin with I ░░░░░░░░ you spoke But you ░░░░░░░░ apparently trans phobic and ░░░░░░░░ denounced you can walk ░░░░░░░░ audience they re just ░░░░░░░░ crazy it is This ░░░░░░░░ a strange story I ░░░░░░░░ just informed by the ░░░░░░░░ America s foundation that ░░░░░░░░ University of Buffalo media ░░░░░░░░ department one of their ░░░░░░░░ departments has a permanent ░░░░░░░░ of me on the ░░░░░░░░ of their webs This ░░░░░░░░ paragraph number two They ░░░░░░░░ several sentences to denouncing ░░░░░░░░ because I I said ░░░░░░░░ men and women are ░░░░░░░░ The same topic we ░░░░░░░░ just talking about I ░░░░░░░░ not a graduate of ░░░░░░░░ University of Buffalo I ░░░░░░░░ never been employed by ░░░░░░░░ University of Buffalo I ░░░░░░░░ a speech there one ░░░░░░░░ a year and a ░░░░░░░░ ago on a different ░░░░░░░░ actually but because of ░░░░░░░░ speech that I gave ░░░░░░░░ see pack now more ░░░░░░░░ two years ago this ░░░░░░░░ funded university has devoted ░░░░░░░░ on a homepage to ░░░░░░░░ me and and so ░░░░░░░░ story I find it ░░░░░░░░ of funny because it ░░░░░░░░ me personally but this ░░░░░░░░ a story for every ░░░░░░░░ minded person out there ░░░░░░░░ matter how degraded you ░░░░░░░░ American higher education has ░░░░░░░░ no matter How degraded ░░░░░░░░ think our political order ░░░░░░░░ as become the reality ░░░░░░░░ about a hundred times ░░░░░░░░ This is a tax ░░░░░░░░ funded university in New ░░░░░░░░ and and what what ░░░░░░░░ does this and parents ░░░░░░░░ you if you don ░░░░░░░░ want your child to ░░░░░░░░ mutilated to be told ░░░░░░░░ is the opposite sex ░░░░░░░░ I guess you have ░░░░░░░░ place at the Sunni ░░░░░░░░ of Buffalo Well this ░░░░░░░░ know is that I ░░░░░░░░ kicked out of my ░░░░░░░░ for being trans phobic ░░░░░░░░ the university of Chicago ░░░░░░░░ I guess we both ░░░░░░░░ that shared scarlet letter ░░░░░░░░ have solidarity and being ░░░░░░░░ pike higher education institutions ░░░░░░░░ I think as a ░░░░░░░░ of honor but I ░░░░░░░░ to sort of bring ░░░░░░░░ full circle to another ░░░░░░░░ that I saw and ░░░░░░░░ news cycle that I ░░░░░░░░ love to get your ░░░░░░░░ on too Of course ░░░░░░░░ know the Democrats steel ░░░░░░░░ projection I say they ░░░░░░░░ the front and DNC ░░░░░░░░ Chicago They have cars ░░░░░░░░ in the Illinois yeah ░░░░░░░░ and accusing the enemy ░░░░░░░░ what s your guilty ░░░░░░░░ but I think it ░░░░░░░░ quite ironic for them ░░░░░░░░ be pushing all this ░░░░░░░░ Bad nonsense when it ░░░░░░░░ just revealed yesterday and ░░░░░░░░ statement which will get ░░░░░░░░ later in the show ░░░░░░░░ Zuckerberg put outright saying ░░░░░░░░ the White House is ░░░░░░░░ pressuring them into censoring ░░░░░░░░ about covert 19 pressuring ░░░░░░░░ to censor the hunted ░░░░░░░░ one hundred right and ░░░░░░░░ drives story So it ░░░░░░░░ t really seem to ░░░░░░░░ that they take issue ░░░░░░░░ banning or censorship right ░░░░░░░░ s just about what ░░░░░░░░ it as their kind ░░░░░░░░ issuing that censorship dicta ░░░░░░░░ m just curious to ░░░░░░░░ your thoughts on the ░░░░░░░░ behind Zuckerberg is letter ░░░░░░░░ sort of the broader ░░░░░░░░ there will we have ░░░░░░░░ take ourselves back to ░░░░░░░░ 16 when the Democrats ░░░░░░░░ convinced that there was ░░░░░░░░ 90 nine percent chance ░░░░░░░░ Hillary was going to ░░░░░░░░ and so they took ░░░░░░░░ eye off the ball ░░░░░░░░ on social media which ░░░░░░░░ effectively the public square ░░░░░░░░ now and the Trump ░░░░░░░░ was excellent at social ░░░░░░░░ and they were aggressive ░░░░░░░░ the they used it ░░░░░░░░ their advantage and they ░░░░░░░░ and they weren t ░░░░░░░░ to win and so ░░░░░░░░ not that I have ░░░░░░░░ great deal of sympathy ░░░░░░░░ Mark Zuckerberg In many ░░░░░░░░ He s he s ░░░░░░░░ to flip and succeeded ░░░░░░░░ flipping elections to Democrats ░░░░░░░░ in this case I ░░░░░░░░ little bit of sympathy ░░░░░░░░ him because he was ░░░░░░░░ holding the bag Social ░░░░░░░░ especially Facebook was caught ░░░░░░░░ the bag and the ░░░░░░░░ blamed these Big Tech ░░░░░░░░ for not doing enough ░░░░░░░░ censor Trump in 20 ░░░░░░░░ for not doing enough ░░░░░░░░ censor from conservatives who ░░░░░░░░ supported Trump and 20 ░░░░░░░░ So you you saw ░░░░░░░░ 20 20 the government ░░░░░░░░ the liberal Democrat apparatus ░░░░░░░░ come down hard on ░░░░░░░░ on the Big Tech ░░░░░░░░ so much so that ░░░░░░░░ Big Tech platforms than ░░░░░░░░ even private messaging of ░░░░░░░░ Hunter Biden laptop story ░░░░░░░░ had intelligence officials lying ░░░░░░░░ the story is Russian ░░░░░░░░ we now know was ░░░░░░░░ true The government is ░░░░░░░░ it s totally true ░░░░░░░░ think Zuckerberg is coming ░░░░░░░░ right now and exposing ░░░░░░░░ of this in part ░░░░░░░░ he doesn t want ░░░░░░░░ take the heat that ░░░░░░░░ happens in November It ░░░░░░░░ s he s going ░░░░░░░░ receive some blame for ░░░░░░░░ because a handful of ░░░░░░░░ and Silicon Valley control ░░░░░░░░ public square in a ░░░░░░░░ We re speech is ░░░░░░░░ so I think this ░░░░░░░░ really a defensive measure ░░░░░░░░ the matter what happens ░░░░░░░░ especially if Trump wins ░░░░░░░░ that you re going ░░░░░░░░ be coming for Zuckerberg ░░░░░░░░ And speaking of projection ░░░░░░░░ course there s ongoing ░░░░░░░░ and forth about debates ░░░░░░░░ law on the Trump ░░░░░░░░ Now it s seeming ░░░░░░░░ Harris of course a ░░░░░░░░ debater she s demanding ░░░░░░░░ she be able to ░░░░░░░░ have notes and muted ░░░░░░░░ s and all these ░░░░░░░░ privileges and preferences and ░░░░░░░░ of I get I ░░░░░░░░ why she would be ░░░░░░░░ to debate Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ your or kind of ░░░░░░░░ Your analysis if you ░░░░░░░░ the debate is going ░░░░░░░░ actually happen The optics ░░░░░░░░ it how you think ░░░░░░░░ all comes together It ░░░░░░░░ happen but I love ░░░░░░░░ that Trump is doing ░░░░░░░░ the lead up because ░░░░░░░░ he says you might ░░░░░░░░ to be then he ░░░░░░░░ use other debates that ░░░░░░░░ s running away from ░░░░░░░░ then he points out ░░░░░░░░ rule changes This is ░░░░░░░░ negotiation This is all ░░░░░░░░ art of the deal ░░░░░░░░ it s shifting the ░░░░░░░░ don t forget It ░░░░░░░░ the outset of comedy ░░░░░░░░ of the nomination She ░░░░░░░░ that Trump abide by ░░░░░░░░ debate agreement that he ░░░░░░░░ come to with Joe ░░░░░░░░ for her so by ░░░░░░░░ newberg or rather Donald ░░░░░░░░ never came to an ░░░░░░░░ with Harris humor in ░░░░░░░░ with Joe Biden the ░░░░░░░░ nominee of the Democratic ░░░░░░░░ He beat him so ░░░░░░░░ in the first debate ░░░░░░░░ Biden is no longer ░░░░░░░░ how many of the ░░░░░░░░ in common said said ░░░░░░░░ will we want you ░░░░░░░░ respect the things that ░░░░░░░░ agreed to with Biden ░░░░░░░░ it comes to us ░░░░░░░░ Trump said Well that ░░░░░░░░ kind of silly I ░░░░░░░░ agreed to anything with ░░░░░░░░ but okay fine I ░░░░░░░░ Do that and then ░░░░░░░░ seconds later accomplices well ░░░░░░░░ for this rule and ░░░░░░░░ for this rule and ░░░░░░░░ for this thing that ░░░░░░░░ disadvantage me and so ░░░░░░░░ she s trying to ░░░░░░░░ her cake and eat ░░░░░░░░ too She s trying ░░░░░░░░ have it both ways ░░░░░░░░ s only agreed to ░░░░░░░░ on ABC ABC abc ░░░░░░░░ so egregiously in her ░░░░░░░░ The chief journalist over ░░░░░░░░ in politics is George ░░░░░░░░ who was the chief ░░░░░░░░ for the Democrats in ░░░░░░░░ White House for Bill ░░░░░░░░ who apparently one of ░░░░░░░░ s close friends is ░░░░░░░░ to run ABC News ░░░░░░░░ so she feels that ░░░░░░░░ s going to get ░░░░░░░░ advantage there and she ░░░░░░░░ still trying to get ░░░░░░░░ advantage I suspect that ░░░░░░░░ is going to debate ░░░░░░░░ because he can beat ░░░░░░░░ is just simply a ░░░░░░░░ better debater than she ░░░░░░░░ shoot she was so ░░░░░░░░ She didn t make ░░░░░░░░ a pest or or ░░░░░░░░ into the first Democratic ░░░░░░░░ in 20 20 but ░░░░░░░░ love the shifting of ░░░░░░░░ narrative Now the narrative ░░░░░░░░ kamel is running away ░░░░░░░░ the debate Kamel is ░░░░░░░░ the rules kamel a ░░░░░░░░ to rig it and ░░░░░░░░ narrative happens to be ░░░░░░░░ Yeah I think if ░░░░░░░░ can t handle fox ░░░░░░░░ you need to bring ░░░░░░░░ to that you re ░░░░░░░░ not going to do ░░░░░░░░ well going up against ░░░░░░░░ for meetings other in ░░░░░░░░ malls and are on ░░░░░░░░ Chinese communist party the ░░░░░░░░ in Ukraine What s ░░░░░░░░ on in the Middle ░░░░░░░░ I think that it ░░░░░░░░ the test Michael knows ░░░░░░░░ people want to
