Okay, fellas, since Hollywood can't do anything right anymore, we did their job for them. The Daily Wire's newest movie is an ode to the great funny action films of the 80s and 90s, Good Guys Win, Bad Guys Lose. No one apologizes for it. Check out Run, Hide, Fight Infidels, now streaming only on The Daily Wire. It's Woke Wednesday.

We gotta do at least one video, take it away.

Whites are psychopaths, and their behavior represents an underlying biologically transmitted proclivity with roots deep in their evolutionary history. How many of you could see the proclivity that evolved deep within the evolutionary history of whiteness by show of hands? How many of you could see it?

SPEAKER_3 (0:42)

Oh, brother, this guy stinks!

SPEAKER_2 (0:45)

Some people are sitting here, oh, no, I don't want to raise my hand. That's called denial. There's no discussion about the delusion and the perversion of whiteness. Say this with me, rape culture in America is a legal, economic, and moral institution. We have it written in the law, you can rape black women, but we've never been a racist country.

This goes beyond gaslighting, and it's rooted in psychological delusion. I'm not seeking agreement for white people at all.

I don't prioritize whiteness or white people in my work in that way. So turn to your neighbor and say, as much as we want to talk about how bad anti-blackness is, it is the foundation of all American, all white American institutions.

This is kind of a funny bit. He's like a lot of the race hustlers, and he shows up and he does his little soft shoe and he puts on his show for the audience and then he gets whatever his speaker fee is. A lot of other people do this. Ibram Kendi is a big one. The irony, of course, is he's being paid to put on this show by white people. So his audience, whether he wants to admit it or not, is white people, and it's masochistic white people. It's white people who hate themselves and they get a thrill from being told how naughty they are. You're a really naughty white person. You're being white is really bad. And they say, oh yeah, tell me I'm bad, baby. Because you're really bad, you know? And they say, oh yeah, here's more money. And then they pay these guys to go around and do it. So as far as I can tell, he's basically just like a kind of political dominatrix or something, you know, being paid a lot of money to inflict some kind of pain on people. So when we get to the self-flagellation portion.

Dude, this is ridiculous.

Me too. You're nuts, bro.

SPEAKER_3 (2:44)

I can't do it.

Michael Knowles (2:45)

I tried, man, I tried.

SPEAKER_3 (2:46)

I'm seriously not.

Michael Knowles (2:47)

Why weren't they willing to whip themselves? His arguments are very silly. Even amid all of those words, all he really said was white people enslaved black people. And they're hardwired to do that. And it's part of their very essence of being white people. So it's true, some white people have enslaved some black people. I don't think it's hardwired into their nature, though.

And some of my evidence would be that what distinguishes white people is not the fact that they ever enslaved anyone. What distinguishes white people is they're basically the only people who ever decided to stop enslaving people. So white people practiced this particular form of slavery for some centuries, I guess about two and a half or three centuries, and then they stopped it. They got the slaves largely from other enslavers, either indigenous American conquerors who'd enslaved other tribes or Africans who practiced slavery and who continue to practice slavery every day, and then they bought them and brought them over, and then they got involved in it, too, and then they abolished it unlike basically everywhere else on earth. So, you know, the history of it is not really on this guy's side, but he knows that. That's why he says, I don't care what white people think about this. I don't want to hear any criticisms of my theory because he doesn't really have any arguments because he's not giving a lecture, really. He's not making any kind of argument or having a debate. He's just satisfying a masochistic sexual kink of white liberals. And if he's doing a good job, he'll get higher speaking fees like Ibram Kendi. And if he does a bad job, he'll just keep doing these low-level speaking circuit events. And maybe you can make a living doing that, too. Not a great way to make a living, not the most honorable way to do it, but there's all sorts of servitude, I guess, as we're learning. Next one, keep going.
