Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hey, so what did you want to talk about?
00:00:01.900 Well, I want to tell you about Wagovi.
00:00:04.580 Wagovi?
00:00:05.320 Yeah, Wagovi.
00:00:06.520 What about it?
00:00:07.160 On second thought, I might not be the right person to tell you.
00:00:10.380 Oh, you're not?
00:00:11.180 No, just ask your doctor.
00:00:13.420 About Wagovi?
00:00:14.880 Yeah, ask for it by name.
00:00:16.520 Okay, so why did you bring me to this circus?
00:00:19.860 Oh, I'm really into lion tamers.
00:00:22.200 You know, with the chair and everything.
00:00:24.360 Ask your doctor for Wagovi by name.
00:00:26.540 Visit wagovi.ca for savings.
00:00:28.880 Exclusions may apply.
00:00:30.000 Is the silent majority real?
00:00:33.080 We always hear about the silent majority.
00:00:34.800 The silent majority is going to come up.
00:00:36.700 Well, is there really a silent majority?
00:00:38.840 Let's not forget America elected Obama twice.
00:00:41.280 We elected Bill Clinton.
00:00:42.740 We elected Jimmy Carter.
00:00:44.440 Sometimes the silent majority doesn't quite work out.
00:00:47.740 So is there one now?
00:00:50.140 President Trump seems to think so.
00:00:51.940 His campaign seems to think so.
00:00:53.860 And they have just premised an excellent new campaign ad
00:00:57.940 on the silent majority.
00:01:00.200 I'll have to narrate it because it's silent.
00:01:03.000 I'm a mother of four.
00:01:04.280 This woman, woman of color, says.
00:01:05.860 Joe Biden worries me.
00:01:06.720 He's weak.
00:01:07.840 Biden embraced the policies of the far left.
00:01:10.380 Biden will raise taxes.
00:01:11.700 She just throws the cards to the side.
00:01:13.440 Give amnesty to 11 million illegal immigrants.
00:01:16.220 Biden's trade deals emptied our factories.
00:01:18.540 Huge.
00:01:19.340 Emptied.
00:01:19.680 I'm afraid to say this out loud.
00:01:23.600 I won't risk my children's future with Biden.
00:01:27.640 And that's the money line.
00:01:29.240 I'm afraid to say this out loud.
00:01:32.820 She's a woman of color.
00:01:35.940 That's the, I guess that's the new category, right?
00:01:37.740 What the left likes to say is when we say silent majority,
00:01:39.920 we're just talking about white men and white men are terrible
00:01:41.940 and forget about them.
00:01:43.280 No, the silent majority includes people of every color,
00:01:47.420 of every shape, every gender.
00:01:49.760 There's only two, but every single gender.
00:01:52.720 The silent majority.
00:01:54.480 Is it real?
00:01:55.840 And will it win it for Trump in November?
00:01:58.000 We'll get into the specifics.
00:01:59.120 I'm Michael Knowles.
00:01:59.700 This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:02:08.600 Welcome back to the show.
00:02:10.380 We have got to get to a superb comment
00:02:13.680 that came up yesterday on YouTube from Dana.
00:02:15.540 Nice of Obama to mention closing polling stations.
00:02:19.500 My Democratic governor closed six in my district due to COVID.
00:02:24.020 Exactly.
00:02:24.660 This is the point.
00:02:25.500 During Barack Obama's highly politicized eulogy for John Lewis,
00:02:29.140 he talked about how Republicans are trying to steal the vote.
00:02:31.360 Well, who's trying to steal the vote?
00:02:32.320 Who's trying to steal the election?
00:02:33.700 Sure looks to me like it's Democrats
00:02:35.740 who are trying to cancel the campaign,
00:02:37.480 cancel debates,
00:02:38.340 and cancel voting as well.
00:02:40.840 Well, this is the issue of the silent majority
00:02:44.380 or maybe the silenced majority,
00:02:46.520 which we will analyze in just one moment.
00:02:48.380 First, though, speaking of safety,
00:02:49.840 you've got to thank our friends over at Ring.
00:02:51.680 You know Ring's mission,
00:02:53.000 make neighborhoods safer.
00:02:55.380 And not only do they do that,
00:02:57.120 that's wonderful.
00:02:58.140 I feel nice and safe and secure
00:02:59.420 knowing that even though a lease is a pretty good shot,
00:03:01.880 one can check in on one's own home
00:03:04.060 from the bedroom,
00:03:05.620 from the office,
00:03:06.740 from whether you're on a beach halfway across the world,
00:03:08.880 you can check in,
00:03:09.900 you can feel safe.
00:03:10.500 A lot of people get in packages these days.
00:03:12.700 Maybe you don't know who's dropping them off.
00:03:14.820 It just allows you that peace of mind.
00:03:17.460 But more than that,
00:03:18.240 more importantly for me,
00:03:19.660 I give Ring to my friends as a housewarming present.
00:03:23.080 Ring is not only cool,
00:03:25.040 not only does it make you feel safe,
00:03:26.540 not only is it like you're living in the future,
00:03:28.760 it's inexpensive as well.
00:03:30.440 So you seem like a really cool guy
00:03:32.020 when you give it to your friends as a gift.
00:03:33.380 Right now, get a special offer
00:03:34.480 on a Ring welcome kit
00:03:35.560 when you go to ring.com slash Knowles,
00:03:37.140 K-N-O-W-L-E-S.
00:03:38.280 That includes the Ring Video Doorbell 3
00:03:40.500 and Chime Pro.
00:03:41.920 It is all you need

00:03:48.300 We all want to make sure that we are safe,
00:03:50.600 particularly these days.
00:03:52.580 Things are pretty crazy out there.
00:03:54.140 Head on over,
00:03:54.720 ring.com slash Knowles,
00:03:55.720 K-N-O-W-L-E-S,
00:03:56.560 ring.com slash Knowles.
00:04:00.020 So is there a silent majority?
00:04:02.540 I've had long debates and arguments
00:04:04.660 with conservatives over this
00:04:05.860 because some people want to say
00:04:08.360 that there's no such thing
00:04:09.200 as the silent majority,
00:04:10.140 even in 2016 or 2020,
00:04:12.720 because more people voted for Hillary
00:04:14.480 than voted for Trump,
00:04:16.220 which is true, right?
00:04:16.980 Hillary won the popular vote.
00:04:18.300 Who knows how many dead people in Illinois
00:04:20.020 jumped out of their graves
00:04:21.480 to vote for Hillary,
00:04:22.460 but let's just take the numbers
00:04:23.960 on the surface.
00:04:24.940 More people voted for Hillary.
00:04:27.060 Does that mean that there's not
00:04:28.000 a silent majority?
00:04:29.160 No.
00:04:30.500 That's a different issue.
00:04:32.500 We know for a fact
00:04:33.900 there is a silent,
00:04:34.980 or I think it's better to say,
00:04:36.580 silenced majority of Americans
00:04:38.480 who feel that they can't speak plainly,
00:04:41.620 who can't speak truthfully
00:04:43.040 because of political correctness.
00:04:45.660 We talked yesterday on the show
00:04:47.160 about how progressivism works
00:04:50.920 outside of the realm
00:04:51.960 of traditional politics, right?
00:04:53.720 Progressivism,
00:04:54.220 because they turn everything
00:04:55.220 into a science.
00:04:56.060 It's all pseudoscience,
00:04:56.840 but it's all a science.
00:04:57.540 So they tell you you can't go to church
00:04:59.540 based on science.
00:05:00.560 They tell you you can't go to school
00:05:01.880 based on science.
00:05:02.880 They tell you you can't do this
00:05:04.080 and you can't do that
00:05:04.620 based on science.
00:05:05.380 They tell you that boys
00:05:06.820 can use the girls' room
00:05:07.760 based on science.
00:05:08.540 It's just obviously ridiculous,
00:05:10.660 but what they want to do
00:05:11.420 is take issues that are properly
00:05:12.720 in the realm of political debate
00:05:13.880 taken up by we the people.
00:05:15.860 They want to take that
00:05:17.260 out of the realm of debate
00:05:18.100 and put it into the hands
00:05:19.040 of the lab coats.
00:05:20.080 The enforcement mechanism
00:05:21.460 for progressivism
00:05:22.600 is political correctness.
00:05:24.640 It's this mealy-mouthed,
00:05:26.680 crazy system of euphemisms
00:05:28.940 that silences people,
00:05:31.180 twists their own thought,
00:05:32.540 and makes perfectly plain things
00:05:34.200 unspeakable.
00:05:35.980 It's not just conservatives.
00:05:37.820 Do you remember the people
00:05:38.840 who were complaining
00:05:39.420 about political correctness
00:05:40.640 back in the 90s
00:05:41.780 and early 2000s?
00:05:42.760 A lot of them were kind of liberal.
00:05:44.340 In fact, a lot of them
00:05:45.080 still are kind of liberal.
00:05:46.680 They're old school liberals
00:05:47.480 or they're moderate people
00:05:48.640 who maybe they don't think
00:05:50.500 that much about politics,
00:05:51.540 but they know they don't like
00:05:52.680 having to pretend
00:05:53.280 that a man is a woman.
00:05:54.520 They don't want to pretend
00:05:55.120 that a baby is not a baby.
00:05:56.500 They don't want to have
00:05:57.240 to pretend like America
00:05:58.120 is the worst place
00:05:58.840 that ever existed.
00:06:00.460 These are normal people,
00:06:01.760 but they're not necessarily
00:06:02.880 going to vote for Republicans.
00:06:05.460 Okay?
00:06:06.140 A lot of people are fed up.
00:06:07.920 The question about
00:06:08.780 the silent majority is,
00:06:09.840 is the silent majority
00:06:11.000 going to vote in November
00:06:12.940 for Republicans?
00:06:14.820 Are they all going to
00:06:15.640 break for Trump?
00:06:16.260 I'll give you a perfect example
00:06:17.540 of this.
00:06:18.000 Came out of the NBA.
00:06:19.900 Now, you'll be shocked to hear,
00:06:22.140 I don't know very much
00:06:22.960 about the NBA.
00:06:23.840 I don't follow the league
00:06:24.940 particularly closely.
00:06:26.720 However, actually,
00:06:28.300 the only sport I ever
00:06:28.980 followed closely
00:06:29.500 was baseball,
00:06:30.080 and now I can't do that
00:06:30.860 because they disrespect
00:06:31.700 the national anthem.
00:06:32.660 But I looked a little bit
00:06:33.600 into the NBA.
00:06:35.280 Have you ever heard
00:06:35.900 of a player
00:06:36.340 for the Orlando Magic
00:06:37.520 named Jonathan Isaac?
00:06:39.840 Something tells me
00:06:40.960 that even if you are
00:06:42.460 a basketball fan,
00:06:44.360 you might not know
00:06:45.000 who that guy is.
00:06:46.880 The reason that I mention him
00:06:48.720 is because as of right now,
00:06:51.100 he is selling more jerseys
00:06:53.100 than anybody in the NBA
00:06:54.780 other than LeBron James.
00:06:57.280 How's that possible?
00:06:58.720 Well, the reason is
00:06:59.620 Jonathan Isaac
00:07:00.980 is the only guy on his team
00:07:02.400 who had the Coglione
00:07:04.160 to stand up
00:07:05.320 for the national anthem.
00:07:07.480 He stands up
00:07:08.420 for the national anthem.
00:07:09.840 All the other players kneel.
00:07:11.420 The whole league kneels down.
00:07:13.220 They accept the premises
00:07:14.300 of the radical left
00:07:15.160 Black Lives Matter.
00:07:16.140 They attack the national anthem,
00:07:17.740 the symbol of our country.
00:07:18.800 They did that presumably
00:07:20.800 because they thought
00:07:21.680 that's what everybody
00:07:22.420 wanted to see.
00:07:23.140 That's where the mass,
00:07:24.340 the majority of people were.
00:07:25.400 Right?
00:07:25.720 Wrong.
00:07:26.440 The one guy who stands up,
00:07:28.500 his jersey sales
00:07:29.240 go through the roof
00:07:29.900 even though very few people
00:07:31.020 have heard of him.
00:07:33.300 Why?
00:07:35.080 Because there is.
00:07:35.940 Now, look,
00:07:36.940 obviously there's
00:07:37.480 the silent majority.
00:07:38.680 Are all these NBA fans
00:07:40.200 going to vote for Donald Trump?
00:07:42.480 I don't know.
00:07:44.280 I don't,
00:07:44.620 and I'm not even saying this
00:07:46.080 just because the NBA
00:07:47.980 has a disproportionately
00:07:50.060 Black audience
00:07:51.420 and Black voters
00:07:53.180 disproportionately
00:07:53.800 don't like Donald Trump.
00:07:54.980 Right?
00:07:55.140 I'm not doing
00:07:55.740 what the left does
00:07:56.920 in divvying this down
00:07:58.320 strictly on the basis of race.
00:08:00.640 But I'm thinking
00:08:01.220 of sports in general.
00:08:02.320 A lot of people
00:08:02.700 who watch sports
00:08:03.560 have sports.
00:08:04.940 You know,
00:08:05.140 people who don't watch sports
00:08:06.060 treat politics as sports.
00:08:07.360 That's kind of what we do.
00:08:08.500 But people who watch sports,
00:08:09.560 very often,
00:08:10.180 they're just not
00:08:10.620 that politically involved.
00:08:11.920 So are they going
00:08:12.320 to vote for Trump?
00:08:12.980 Are they going to vote
00:08:13.800 for Biden
00:08:14.320 because they're not
00:08:14.800 paying attention?
00:08:15.220 Are they not going
00:08:15.920 to vote at all?
00:08:17.100 That's the question.
00:08:18.500 What we do know,
00:08:19.260 though,
00:08:19.440 is Trump's got
00:08:20.020 to get those guys.
00:08:21.240 Trump's got to get
00:08:21.740 the guys who are
00:08:22.440 buying the jerseys
00:08:23.460 of Jonathan Isaac.
00:08:25.760 Okay?
00:08:27.020 And one way to do that
00:08:28.560 is not just to show
00:08:29.680 what Trump has done
00:08:30.500 and what Trump's going to do.
00:08:31.400 They've got to show
00:08:32.100 who Biden is.
00:08:32.940 And not just who Biden
00:08:33.820 was 50 years ago
00:08:35.020 or 500 years ago
00:08:36.400 when he started
00:08:36.840 in American politics
00:08:37.840 before America
00:08:38.500 even existed.
00:08:39.540 You've got to show
00:08:40.140 who Joe Biden is now
00:08:41.120 because Joe Biden
00:08:41.920 is not that old,
00:08:43.460 nice,
00:08:44.520 lovable,
00:08:45.220 moderate Uncle Joe
00:08:46.280 that we all think
00:08:47.260 that we remember.
00:08:48.620 Joe Biden is talking
00:08:49.880 like any radical leftist
00:08:51.660 you'd meet on the street.
00:08:52.820 In fact,
00:08:53.960 in a recent campaign podcast,
00:08:55.780 I can't believe
00:08:56.180 this isn't coming out
00:08:56.840 until now.
00:08:58.140 It was Breitbart
00:08:58.660 who dug this up.
00:08:59.760 Campaign podcast,
00:09:00.600 May 11th,
00:09:01.880 Joe Biden is interviewing
00:09:02.880 Andrew Yang.
00:09:04.140 He calls for
00:09:05.360 outright revolution.
00:09:06.960 I think we can get
00:09:09.760 through this period
00:09:10.780 but the things
00:09:11.920 we have to change
00:09:13.040 and I think
00:09:13.980 I know you agree
00:09:15.260 we need some
00:09:17.160 revolutionary
00:09:17.680 institutional changes
00:09:19.260 in how we do things.
00:09:20.480 Yes,
00:09:21.080 amen.
00:09:21.800 It's painful
00:09:22.340 because every passing day
00:09:24.120 more and more Americans
00:09:25.560 are hitting
00:09:26.320 desperate circumstances
00:09:27.600 and dire straits
00:09:28.760 and they're feeling
00:09:30.500 this inability
00:09:31.460 to be more agile
00:09:33.560 every single day.
00:09:34.400 Well,
00:09:34.920 we need an environment
00:09:35.780 in the wake
00:09:36.300 of this revolution.
00:09:37.200 Everybody has a chance
00:09:38.940 to be part of the mix
00:09:40.100 and so it's
00:09:41.180 not so self-evident
00:09:42.860 exactly how to do that.
00:09:44.820 So it's not just
00:09:45.840 a typical Joe
00:09:47.140 faux pas,
00:09:48.700 a gaffe.
00:09:49.360 He says a word
00:09:49.940 that he didn't mean.
00:09:50.500 He repeats that word.
00:09:52.020 Multiple times
00:09:52.660 you hear revolution,
00:09:54.340 revolution.
00:09:55.460 This has been
00:09:56.100 a term of art
00:09:57.060 on the left
00:09:57.560 since at least
00:09:58.540 Woodrow Wilson
00:09:59.240 going back
00:09:59.880 all the way
00:10:00.800 to the progressive era.
00:10:03.280 But it's taken
00:10:04.120 on renewed vigor,
00:10:05.100 particularly in
00:10:05.500 the Obama administration
00:10:06.240 when Obama said
00:10:06.820 he wants to fundamentally
00:10:07.500 transform America.
00:10:08.520 Well, Joe Biden
00:10:09.040 was Barack Obama's VP
00:10:10.360 and now he's using
00:10:11.080 the same language.
00:10:12.080 I think if most people
00:10:13.040 heard that
00:10:13.660 in the wake of
00:10:14.740 George Washington statues
00:10:16.020 falling down
00:10:16.640 and cities going up
00:10:17.460 in flames
00:10:17.880 and murder rates
00:10:18.780 going up by 175%
00:10:20.540 and shooting rates
00:10:21.500 going through the roof,
00:10:22.920 I think if people
00:10:23.560 heard that revolutionary change,
00:10:26.160 they wouldn't be so gung-ho
00:10:27.280 to go out
00:10:27.800 and vote for Joe.
00:10:28.660 And I think Joe Biden's
00:10:29.820 campaign agrees with that.
00:10:31.560 I think Democrats
00:10:32.380 agree with that.
00:10:33.240 And so what they're
00:10:34.200 trying to do
00:10:34.760 is hide the candidate away.
00:10:36.260 In particular,
00:10:37.040 they're trying to get
00:10:37.560 out of the debates.
00:10:38.600 So right now,
00:10:39.860 this question,
00:10:40.420 should Biden debate Trump?
00:10:42.320 Well, it's very simple.
00:10:43.520 No, if you're Joe Biden.
00:10:45.920 If you want Biden to win,
00:10:48.220 then you should absolutely pray
00:10:50.100 that Joe Biden
00:10:51.220 does not debate Trump.
00:10:52.760 Because Joe Biden
00:10:53.380 has lost a step
00:10:54.160 and even before
00:10:54.660 he lost a step,
00:10:55.360 he didn't have much
00:10:55.920 step to lose
00:10:56.440 to begin with.
00:10:57.520 He's always been
00:10:58.720 a doofus.
00:11:00.180 I'm sorry to say it.
00:11:01.040 There's no other way
00:11:01.660 to put it.
00:11:02.480 He's been a liar.
00:11:03.440 He's been a plagiarist.
00:11:04.720 He graduated at the bottom
00:11:06.000 of his unimpressive class.
00:11:08.500 He messes up words.
00:11:10.980 He's an empty suit.
00:11:11.980 That's all the guy's ever been.
00:11:13.540 And now he's an empty suit
00:11:14.580 who doesn't even remember
00:11:15.360 he's an empty suit.
00:11:16.460 So it wouldn't have gone well
00:11:17.400 even in the best days.
00:11:18.280 It certainly doesn't look
00:11:19.460 like it'll go well now.
00:11:20.440 And that's why
00:11:21.180 huge Democrats
00:11:22.100 are saying don't debate.
00:11:23.540 Joe Lockhart,
00:11:24.080 former Clinton press secretary
00:11:24.940 on CNN,
00:11:26.120 tells Biden,
00:11:27.460 whatever you do,
00:11:29.300 don't debate Trump.
00:11:32.640 And then the way he,
00:11:33.600 the way he justifies this,
00:11:35.360 he says Trump,
00:11:36.020 he tells a lot of lies.
00:11:37.940 Trump has made more than
00:11:38.740 20,000 misleading
00:11:40.240 or false statements
00:11:41.220 according to
00:11:42.060 the Washington Post.
00:11:43.620 By the way,
00:11:44.220 there it is again.
00:11:44.880 There's that trying
00:11:45.720 to make politics
00:11:46.720 a scientific pursuit.
00:11:48.560 They're going to quantify
00:11:49.860 every lie
00:11:50.740 that Donald Trump
00:11:51.680 has ever told.
00:11:52.400 Then you look into the lies
00:11:53.660 because I can't really name
00:11:54.500 big lies
00:11:55.180 that Trump has told.
00:11:56.660 When I think of Obama lying,
00:11:57.760 I think if you like your doctor,
00:11:58.800 you can keep your doctor.
00:11:59.440 That's a pretty big lie.
00:12:00.280 It's a significant lie.
00:12:01.500 But with Trump,
00:12:02.140 it's every little one.
00:12:02.860 It's like,
00:12:03.700 I had breakfast this morning.
00:12:06.120 Fact check,
00:12:06.900 seven Pinocchios.
00:12:08.420 Trump only had coffee
00:12:09.600 this morning,
00:12:10.240 you know,
00:12:10.520 or my crowd size
00:12:12.320 was 30,000.
00:12:13.560 Fact check,
00:12:14.860 two million Pinocchios.
00:12:17.260 His crowd size
00:12:18.000 was only 29,400.
00:12:20.580 You say,
00:12:20.920 okay,
00:12:21.040 I guess that's a lie,
00:12:21.900 right?
00:12:22.080 But that's what
00:12:22.740 the left tries to do.
00:12:24.080 So he says,
00:12:25.160 Trump has told
00:12:25.680 all these lies.
00:12:26.600 It's a fool's errand
00:12:27.500 to enter the ring
00:12:28.480 with someone
00:12:28.820 who can't follow
00:12:29.540 the rules or the truth.
00:12:30.720 Don't forget,
00:12:31.160 Joe Biden dropped out
00:12:31.800 of his first presidential race
00:12:32.840 because he lied
00:12:34.320 explicitly and importantly,
00:12:36.720 not just about
00:12:37.580 his academic record,
00:12:38.680 but he plagiarized
00:12:39.660 other people's speeches.
00:12:40.540 So if anybody knows
00:12:41.240 about lies,
00:12:41.720 it's Joe Biden.
00:12:43.520 But also,
00:12:44.520 if you're getting
00:12:45.420 into the ring
00:12:46.100 with somebody who lies,
00:12:47.400 that's great for you
00:12:48.320 because then you can
00:12:49.240 refute those lies,
00:12:50.240 right?
00:12:50.740 But no,
00:12:51.120 no one thinks Joe can do it.
00:12:52.400 Zach Petkanis,
00:12:53.820 former Hillary Clinton
00:12:54.620 senior advisor,
00:12:55.300 writes on Twitter
00:12:55.800 last week
00:12:56.260 that Biden can skip
00:12:57.620 the debates
00:12:58.040 because Trump
00:12:58.520 is not a legitimate
00:12:59.360 candidate.
00:12:59.900 That's another
00:13:00.200 left-wing trick
00:13:00.880 because for the
00:13:02.220 progressives,
00:13:02.940 there is no way
00:13:04.300 they can lose.
00:13:05.020 The left can't lose
00:13:05.840 because theirs is
00:13:07.440 the scientifically
00:13:08.340 correct capital H
00:13:10.360 historical path
00:13:11.740 into the future.
00:13:12.280 So if they lose,
00:13:13.100 it's got to be
00:13:13.800 illegitimate.
00:13:14.680 And this,
00:13:15.300 this fella,
00:13:16.880 Zach Petkanis
00:13:17.900 from Hillary's team
00:13:18.980 is just buying
00:13:20.460 into that.
00:13:21.740 Heads we win,
00:13:22.180 tails you lose,
00:13:22.720 right?
00:13:22.920 There's no way
00:13:23.580 for a Republican
00:13:24.200 legitimately to win
00:13:25.420 an election,
00:13:25.820 so why do we even
00:13:26.920 need to debate them?
00:13:27.500 Why do we even need
00:13:28.060 the facade of democracy?
00:13:30.020 And then Thomas Friedman,
00:13:31.620 one of my favorite
00:13:32.360 lefties over there
00:13:33.160 at the New York Times,
00:13:34.860 suggests that,
00:13:35.960 that Biden only
00:13:36.880 debate Trump
00:13:37.380 if Trump releases
00:13:38.000 his tax returns.
00:13:39.060 What do tax returns
00:13:39.820 have to do with debates?
00:13:40.900 I have no idea.
00:13:42.180 But what he's saying
00:13:42.880 is basically get
00:13:44.320 a concession out of Trump
00:13:45.540 because you,
00:13:46.540 Joe Biden,
00:13:46.940 are going to lose
00:13:47.540 the debates.
00:13:48.300 So,
00:13:48.720 is he going to debate
00:13:49.420 or is he not
00:13:50.000 going to debate?
00:13:50.440 Biden campaign
00:13:51.220 senior advisor,
00:13:52.220 Corrine Jean-Pierre,
00:13:55.100 says that he will debate.
00:13:57.480 But there's a catch.
00:13:58.940 He's only going to debate
00:14:00.320 when it's very,
00:14:01.440 very close to the election.
00:14:02.540 And with mail-in voting,
00:14:03.600 by the way,
00:14:04.780 with mail-in voting,
00:14:06.340 many votes
00:14:07.260 will already be cast
00:14:08.260 before Joe Biden
00:14:09.440 has to say two words.
00:14:11.160 Well,
00:14:11.660 the Biden campaign
00:14:12.260 has been very clear,
00:14:13.580 crystal clear on this,
00:14:14.840 is that we have,
00:14:16.120 we have said yes
00:14:17.140 to doing three debates
00:14:19.400 and one vice presidential debate
00:14:21.660 as it's been laid out
00:14:23.080 by the non-partisan
00:14:24.700 debate commission,
00:14:26.620 a debate commission
00:14:27.600 that's been around
00:14:28.400 and other campaigns
00:14:29.860 have followed
00:14:30.520 for generations.
00:14:32.220 Every campaign
00:14:32.740 has followed for generations.
00:14:33.980 And that is where
00:14:34.880 we have agreed to do.
00:14:37.540 And look,
00:14:37.880 what's happening
00:14:38.400 is Donald Trump
00:14:39.040 and his campaign
00:14:39.660 are trying to move
00:14:40.800 the goalposts.
00:14:41.880 But Joe Biden has said
00:14:43.200 from time and time again,
00:14:45.440 the first time
00:14:45.880 he was asked a question
00:14:46.680 in the couple times after
00:14:47.820 that he is ready
00:14:48.600 to take on Donald Trump.
00:14:50.240 We will be there.
00:14:51.600 He will be there
00:14:52.700 ready to go.
00:14:54.440 And so the question is,
00:14:55.500 will Donald Trump be?
00:14:57.280 Yeah,
00:14:57.780 I think Donald Trump
00:14:58.700 will be ready to go.
00:14:59.540 The problem is
00:15:00.240 the debates are going to start
00:15:01.200 after 16 states
00:15:02.500 are already voting.
00:15:03.700 And you see the left
00:15:04.760 is desperate
00:15:06.380 to convince people
00:15:07.360 to mail in their votes.
00:15:08.980 Why?
00:15:09.380 Well,
00:15:09.620 because we know
00:15:10.200 it's much easier
00:15:11.100 to commit voter fraud
00:15:11.980 if you mail it in
00:15:13.060 than it is otherwise.
00:15:14.320 And don't forget,
00:15:14.780 the left,
00:15:15.020 the left owns
00:15:16.120 all of these
00:15:16.740 mainstream institutions,
00:15:17.700 including the
00:15:18.860 administrative government.
00:15:19.620 So they've got a better
00:15:20.280 chance to steal
00:15:20.880 the election there.
00:15:21.780 But the other reason
00:15:22.480 is very simple.
00:15:23.480 If you're not going
00:15:24.060 to have a debate
00:15:24.500 until September 29th
00:15:25.880 for your first ever debate,
00:15:26.960 you can already harvest
00:15:27.940 a lot of votes for Biden
00:15:28.840 before they realize
00:15:29.500 the guy can't,
00:15:30.260 can't pronounce
00:15:30.820 his own name.
00:15:32.400 The Trump campaign
00:15:33.380 should have caught
00:15:33.880 this sooner.
00:15:35.080 They should have caught
00:15:35.880 this months ago.
00:15:36.940 And it is,
00:15:38.000 it's on the Trump campaign
00:15:39.840 that months ago
00:15:41.640 they didn't catch this.
00:15:42.980 Things happen in campaigns,
00:15:44.020 you drop the ball.
00:15:45.020 They shouldn't have
00:15:45.500 dropped that ball.
00:15:46.300 Okay, we've talked about
00:15:47.140 how for the past few months
00:15:48.020 the Trump campaign
00:15:48.680 did not seem to be
00:15:50.100 going in the right direction.
00:15:50.940 They seem to be steering
00:15:51.680 the ship in the right
00:15:52.360 direction now.
00:15:53.040 But this is a big faux pas
00:15:55.280 because as we've said
00:15:56.480 from the beginning,
00:15:57.040 COVID is the campaign
00:15:58.020 for the Democrats.
00:15:59.080 They're trying to hide
00:16:00.200 their candidate
00:16:00.740 in a bunker.
00:16:02.720 We were saying a year ago
00:16:03.760 that Joe Biden's best chance
00:16:05.460 is to run a front porch
00:16:06.760 campaign and never leave.
00:16:07.760 And then somehow,
00:16:09.440 coincidentally,
00:16:10.060 that seems to be
00:16:10.860 working out for him.
00:16:11.520 So they should have moved
00:16:12.300 those debates up right now.
00:16:14.360 Conservatives are always,
00:16:16.240 always behind the ball
00:16:17.740 on this kind of stuff.
00:16:19.720 We keep playing by rules
00:16:22.760 as if the other side
00:16:24.900 is going to play
00:16:25.360 by those rules.
00:16:26.380 We keep honoring traditions
00:16:28.700 as if the other side
00:16:29.880 is going to honor
00:16:30.400 those traditions.
00:16:31.360 We keep playing as though
00:16:33.360 this is a game
00:16:35.240 where we all agree
00:16:35.940 on the basics.
00:16:36.580 We all love America.
00:16:37.640 We all want what's best
00:16:38.780 for America.
00:16:39.500 We all want to live up
00:16:40.500 to the most wonderful ideals
00:16:42.540 of our history
00:16:44.040 and our foundations.
00:16:45.800 And that's just not the case.
00:16:47.820 That is not the case.
00:16:50.220 You saw it at John Lewis's funeral.
00:16:52.180 Yesterday, we played the clip
00:16:53.160 of George Bush saying,
00:16:56.080 look, John and I
00:16:57.140 didn't always agree.
00:16:58.380 And John also didn't think
00:16:59.620 I was a legitimate president
00:17:00.680 and boycotted my inauguration.
00:17:02.660 Look, we didn't always agree.
00:17:03.600 But in our America,
00:17:04.840 the America we fight for,
00:17:06.440 we can have those disagreements,
00:17:07.960 but we're still countrymen.
00:17:11.540 And then Obama gets up there
00:17:12.500 and says,
00:17:12.880 Republicans are racists
00:17:14.040 and they're George Wallace
00:17:14.840 and they're trying to take away
00:17:15.720 your right to vote
00:17:16.320 and they hate you.
00:17:17.360 Vote for Democrats.
00:17:18.120 You have to go vote
00:17:18.680 for Democrats right now.
00:17:19.900 Those are not the same thing, okay?
00:17:21.820 And the right conservatives
00:17:24.100 need to wake up for this.
00:17:25.220 There's another debate
00:17:26.060 coming out right now.
00:17:26.900 Not just is there a silent majority,
00:17:28.480 not just should Joe Biden debate.
00:17:29.720 There's another debate going on,
00:17:30.840 which is if, God forbid,
00:17:32.920 there is a Supreme Court vacancy
00:17:34.680 that comes up,
00:17:35.740 we don't know who,
00:17:36.800 but certainly there could be a few,
00:17:39.280 maybe one in particular.
00:17:40.440 If there were a Supreme Court vacancy
00:17:42.180 that came up before the election,
00:17:44.140 should the Republicans fill it?
00:17:46.300 The correct answer to that question is,
00:17:48.940 duh, yeah, of course we should fill it.
00:17:51.700 We have the Senate.
00:17:52.740 We have the president.
00:17:54.780 Yeah, push the person through.
00:17:58.020 But some conservatives say no.
00:17:59.420 That would be wrong.
00:18:00.160 Why would that be wrong?
00:18:00.780 Because, you see, in 2016,
00:18:04.860 when Antonin Scalia died,
00:18:07.000 Barack Obama put up a man,
00:18:08.920 a wonderful man,
00:18:09.860 a man, one of the most wonderful jurists ever,
00:18:12.580 Merrick Garland.
00:18:14.080 Peace be upon him.
00:18:15.520 And Merrick Garland was not taken up
00:18:17.460 for confirmation by the Senate.
00:18:20.140 And he was not taken up
00:18:21.740 because it was an election year
00:18:23.060 and we established this principle
00:18:24.340 and now it's an election year again
00:18:25.700 and give me a break.
00:18:28.040 Give me a break.
00:18:29.060 In 2016, the Democrats were saying
00:18:32.880 you had to ram Merrick Garland through.
00:18:35.400 This is very awkward for them
00:18:36.700 now that Joe Biden is their nominee
00:18:37.860 because the last time
00:18:38.780 there was a similar situation
00:18:39.880 in the early 1990s,
00:18:41.840 Joe Biden said that absolutely
00:18:43.180 the president should not try
00:18:45.060 to put a candidate through
00:18:47.020 when it was flipped,
00:18:47.800 when the Republicans had the presidency
00:18:49.200 and the Democrats had the Senate.
00:18:51.080 And now it's going to be
00:18:52.300 a little different story again.
00:18:54.240 There is nothing unprincipled
00:18:56.000 about using your legal,
00:18:59.080 constitutional, political power
00:19:00.780 when you have it.
00:19:02.420 What does it mean to be a conservative?
00:19:04.060 Does being a conservative mean
00:19:05.620 that we have to play by
00:19:07.680 a sort of rule
00:19:09.120 that we kind of half-articulated
00:19:11.340 four years ago
00:19:12.440 as we were getting
00:19:13.360 a Supreme Court justice through?
00:19:15.300 That's what it means?
00:19:16.600 That's the height of being a conservative?
00:19:17.980 No.
00:19:18.500 Being a conservative
00:19:19.180 is conserving things.
00:19:21.360 So, yeah,
00:19:22.300 if we have this one shot
00:19:23.540 before Democrats
00:19:24.720 get rid of the filibuster,
00:19:26.840 make D.C. a state,
00:19:28.040 make Puerto Rico a state,
00:19:29.380 basically cut us off
00:19:30.400 from having a Senate majority
00:19:31.360 ever again,
00:19:32.120 yeah, I think it would be
00:19:32.900 a good idea to get
00:19:33.620 a Supreme Court justice through.
00:19:36.560 Conservatives need to be willing
00:19:38.780 to exercise their power.
00:19:40.580 Right now McConnell's saying
00:19:41.400 of course he would fill it
00:19:42.220 because Cocaine Mitch
00:19:43.140 doesn't play around
00:19:43.800 on things like that.
00:19:44.940 Lisa Murkowski
00:19:45.580 is a little bit more moderate
00:19:46.660 in Alaska.
00:19:47.320 She says that it would be
00:19:48.440 a double standard.
00:19:49.360 And then Daniel Goldberg,
00:19:51.220 who's a legal director
00:19:51.880 for some left-wing advocacy group
00:19:54.060 Alliance for Justice Action,
00:19:55.900 says it would be outrageous
00:19:57.560 to go back
00:19:58.260 on their purported principles.
00:20:00.300 Here's my principles.
00:20:02.180 We need a safe country.
00:20:04.020 We need a just country.
00:20:05.620 We need a free country.
00:20:06.780 We should live up
00:20:07.620 to our greatest traditions.
00:20:09.900 We should support
00:20:11.780 and enjoy and cherish
00:20:13.520 our past.
00:20:14.860 And we should look forward
00:20:15.840 with hope to the future.
00:20:17.520 Those are my principles.
00:20:18.400 Some conservatives
00:20:19.660 want to make up
00:20:20.220 a whole bunch
00:20:20.600 of new principles.
00:20:21.920 Like you can never
00:20:23.680 have trade deals
00:20:26.900 that include protection
00:20:28.100 for American workers.
00:20:29.060 That's it.
00:20:29.540 That's the hill
00:20:29.920 we're going to die on.
00:20:30.700 Or you have to play
00:20:32.220 by the rules
00:20:32.920 that Democrats set
00:20:33.680 five years ago.
00:20:34.920 Or no,
00:20:36.040 that's not it.
00:20:37.180 It's much simpler than that.
00:20:38.620 And when you're talking
00:20:39.480 about the silent majority
00:20:40.780 or the silenced majority,
00:20:42.320 when you're talking
00:20:42.900 about those people,
00:20:44.400 they're not the ones
00:20:45.440 with their noses
00:20:46.220 in the political
00:20:46.940 philosophy books.
00:20:48.260 They're not the ones
00:20:49.280 reading the manifestos.
00:20:50.920 They want basic things.
00:20:53.160 Keep me safe.
00:20:54.500 Let me go to work.
00:20:56.020 Let me raise my family.
00:20:57.400 Don't tell me
00:20:57.780 my son is a little girl.
00:20:59.540 Don't pretend
00:21:00.120 that babies aren't babies
00:21:01.160 often.
00:21:02.860 Right?
00:21:03.040 At least there are
00:21:03.500 a lot of people in this.
00:21:04.980 Maybe they don't even care
00:21:05.640 that much about that issue.
00:21:07.880 Let me have a safe,
00:21:09.940 just,
00:21:10.980 free country.
00:21:12.400 That's what we got to do.
00:21:13.320 And there are things
00:21:14.380 that we can do
00:21:15.200 to push that forward.
00:21:18.040 But we've got to break
00:21:19.580 the locks of political stasis
00:21:22.760 that we've had
00:21:23.280 for the past 30 years.
00:21:25.100 You can see the consequences
00:21:26.800 of not standing up
00:21:28.900 all around us.
00:21:29.760 A Republican state senator
00:21:31.460 in Minnesota,
00:21:33.400 a senator named Warren Limmer,
00:21:35.380 just found this out
00:21:36.660 the hard way
00:21:37.280 when a leftist mob
00:21:38.580 came knocking down
00:21:39.540 the door to his house.
00:21:40.420 We'll get to that
00:21:40.760 in one second.
00:21:41.800 First, though,
00:21:42.280 I've got to thank you.
00:21:45.420 I've got to thank all of you

00:23:00.380 Me,
00:23:00.640 I don't care that much
00:23:01.320 about outer space,
00:23:02.140 but Jeremy loves it.
00:23:02.920 So go listen to that.
00:23:03.940 He knows a thing or two
00:23:04.520 about it.
00:23:05.600 Head on over.
00:23:06.660 We'll be right back
00:23:07.240 with a lot more.
00:23:20.440 Republican state senator
00:23:22.020 Warren Limmer
00:23:23.020 found out the hard way
00:23:24.640 what happens
00:23:25.720 when a conservative movement
00:23:27.100 for several decades
00:23:29.040 doesn't stand up
00:23:30.080 and conserve
00:23:30.620 much of anything
00:23:31.840 is you get roving gangs
00:23:33.820 of anarchists
00:23:34.760 banging down the doors
00:23:36.120 so much for
00:23:37.540 our constitutional norms.
00:23:39.860 Take a listen.
00:23:41.420 If you want to be
00:23:42.440 voted in again,
00:23:44.020 you will come
00:23:44.680 and talk to us.
00:23:46.100 Otherwise,
00:23:46.720 you will never
00:23:47.320 run in office again.
00:23:49.140 He's definitely
00:23:49.740 not interested.
00:23:51.400 The banging continues,
00:23:52.800 followed by howling.
00:23:55.800 Obviously,
00:23:56.220 these people have no right
00:23:57.440 to go to this man's house
00:23:58.900 where his family sleeps
00:24:00.200 and bang on their door
00:24:01.440 and bang on other instruments
00:24:02.680 with the whole mob
00:24:03.400 and threaten him
00:24:04.140 and tell him
00:24:04.460 to come outside.
00:24:06.120 That is the degradation
00:24:07.740 of our constitutional norms.
00:24:09.740 Would you ever see
00:24:10.720 a right-wing gang do that?
00:24:12.180 No,
00:24:12.620 you wouldn't.
00:24:13.740 Imagine,
00:24:14.440 imagine if the Tea Party
00:24:15.900 ever did that.
00:24:17.100 The Tea Party
00:24:17.580 was the best behaved
00:24:19.000 popular movement
00:24:20.300 in American history.
00:24:22.660 They would show up
00:24:23.500 to places for rallies.
00:24:24.980 They would leave.
00:24:25.980 The areas were cleaner
00:24:27.040 than before the Tea Party
00:24:28.080 got there
00:24:28.600 and they were called violent.
00:24:30.820 Maybe you don't remember.
00:24:31.780 You know,
00:24:32.100 the media memory
00:24:33.040 of all these things,
00:24:33.760 the cycles so fast,
00:24:34.680 they were called violent,
00:24:36.040 they were called Nazis,
00:24:37.080 they were called Klansmen,
00:24:39.120 they were gonna,
00:24:39.580 they were a threat,
00:24:40.320 they were gonna kill people.
00:24:41.380 They were so well behaved,
00:24:44.180 they were like Boy Scouts.
00:24:45.960 Then,
00:24:47.200 BLM
00:24:47.840 and Antifa
00:24:48.740 show up
00:24:49.420 and burn down
00:24:50.920 the country.
00:24:52.720 They're peaceful protesters.
00:24:53.760 They're wonderful,
00:24:55.420 peaceful protesters.
00:24:56.220 And by the way,
00:24:56.660 if you don't support them,
00:24:58.400 if you don't post
00:24:59.220 the Black Square,
00:25:00.300 if you don't post
00:25:01.100 the BLM hashtag,
00:25:02.420 if you don't go to
00:25:03.400 the BLM mandatory
00:25:04.700 training session
00:25:05.800 for why you're
00:25:06.600 a terrible,
00:25:07.280 awful person
00:25:07.820 and we need to give
00:25:08.860 a lot of money
00:25:09.520 to self-described Marxists,
00:25:11.300 if you don't go to that,
00:25:12.000 you can have your life destroyed.
00:25:14.620 Probably better
00:25:15.420 for you just to remain silent.
00:25:18.140 There's a lot of people
00:25:19.160 right now
00:25:19.920 who feel that way.
00:25:22.180 Which way
00:25:22.740 are they gonna break?
00:25:24.520 Part of this
00:25:25.440 is the president
00:25:26.520 needs to show
00:25:27.320 strong leadership.
00:25:29.140 COVID is the campaign
00:25:31.880 for Democrats.
00:25:33.460 They have exploited
00:25:34.540 this thing
00:25:35.380 to hide
00:25:36.800 all of the flaws
00:25:37.460 of their candidate,
00:25:38.740 to hide
00:25:39.180 all of the flaws
00:25:40.000 of the election season
00:25:42.300 where they would
00:25:43.020 probably get blown out,
00:25:44.260 to hide
00:25:44.620 all of the wonderful
00:25:45.720 accomplishments
00:25:46.920 of the Trump economy.
00:25:49.880 We have got
00:25:50.780 to be able
00:25:51.180 to push back
00:25:51.720 against that.
00:25:52.580 So how do we do it?
00:25:53.180 One way
00:25:53.860 that people
00:25:54.220 are being silenced
00:25:54.900 very literally
00:25:55.440 is they're now
00:25:56.880 being mandated
00:25:57.560 to put masks
00:25:58.480 across their face.
00:26:00.260 Some conservatives
00:26:01.140 they're okay
00:26:01.640 with the masks.
00:26:02.960 They say,
00:26:03.260 oh,
00:26:03.420 what's the big deal?
00:26:04.840 The big deal
00:26:05.600 is this.
00:26:06.700 There is
00:26:07.380 no evidence
00:26:08.540 that the masks
00:26:09.740 do much
00:26:10.500 of anything
00:26:11.320 at all
00:26:11.780 to stop
00:26:13.100 the spread
00:26:13.480 of this virus.
00:26:15.460 None.
00:26:16.800 Zilch.
00:26:17.900 Nada.
00:26:19.980 Right now,
00:26:20.920 you've got
00:26:21.340 public health officials
00:26:22.100 in Sweden
00:26:22.680 and the Netherlands
00:26:23.580 saying this,
00:26:25.060 saying the masks
00:26:25.760 are pointless.
00:26:27.640 They do
00:26:28.260 nothing.
00:26:29.300 Sweden's COVID
00:26:30.020 cases are
00:26:30.720 continuing to drop.
00:26:31.540 By the way,
00:26:31.780 remember Sweden,
00:26:32.740 it was the shame
00:26:33.360 of all of the West.
00:26:34.820 Sweden,
00:26:35.280 the whole population
00:26:36.500 is going to get decimated
00:26:37.300 because Sweden
00:26:37.820 didn't lock down.
00:26:38.760 Guess what?
00:26:39.140 Sweden's doing better
00:26:39.880 now than virtually
00:26:40.620 anybody,
00:26:41.760 certainly any
00:26:42.180 of their neighbors.
00:26:43.540 So the country's
00:26:44.140 top epidemiologist,
00:26:46.020 Enders Tegnell,
00:26:48.020 don't you love
00:26:48.440 those Scandinavian names?
00:26:49.940 Enders Tegnell
00:26:50.840 says he sees
00:26:51.680 no point
00:26:52.320 to mandating
00:26:53.520 masks in public.
00:26:55.180 Sweden's death rate
00:26:55.820 right now
00:26:56.240 is lower
00:26:56.740 than Italy's.
00:26:58.000 The Netherlands,
00:26:58.640 same thing.
00:26:59.340 They announced
00:26:59.680 they would not
00:27:00.280 institute a face mask
00:27:01.540 mandate.
00:27:02.620 Why?
00:27:03.020 Well,
00:27:03.240 according to
00:27:03.740 the Minister
00:27:04.440 for Medical Care,
00:27:05.400 Tamara van Aarck,
00:27:07.420 it is because,
00:27:08.360 quote,
00:27:08.700 from a medical
00:27:09.220 perspective,
00:27:09.800 there is no
00:27:10.320 proven effectiveness
00:27:11.160 of masks.
00:27:13.100 The cabinet
00:27:13.660 has decided
00:27:14.280 that there will
00:27:14.940 be no national
00:27:15.600 obligation
00:27:16.120 for wearing
00:27:16.940 non-medical masks.
00:27:19.200 I've mentioned
00:27:19.880 this to people
00:27:20.460 and the honest
00:27:21.520 leftists,
00:27:22.220 when I say
00:27:22.840 there's no
00:27:23.360 evidence that
00:27:23.780 the masks work,
00:27:24.420 they say,
00:27:25.060 well,
00:27:25.700 you haven't
00:27:26.660 proven that
00:27:27.180 the masks
00:27:27.600 don't work.
00:27:30.240 Let me,
00:27:30.720 let me go back
00:27:31.620 there.
00:27:31.840 You're saying
00:27:32.400 that we need
00:27:33.320 to mandate
00:27:33.940 that everybody
00:27:34.960 around the
00:27:35.420 country wears
00:27:36.280 a very uncomfortable,
00:27:37.540 stupid,
00:27:38.000 ugly thing
00:27:38.580 on their faces
00:27:39.380 everywhere,
00:27:40.420 every time
00:27:40.820 they leave
00:27:41.120 the house
00:27:41.580 because I
00:27:43.120 haven't proven
00:27:44.120 that they
00:27:46.120 don't have to.
00:27:47.400 Because I
00:27:47.740 haven't proven
00:27:48.440 that they
00:27:50.280 don't work.
00:27:51.780 Prove to me
00:27:52.320 they do it.
00:27:52.940 I think it's
00:27:53.440 you.
00:27:53.840 I think it's
00:27:54.320 you,
00:27:54.600 the people
00:27:54.920 who want
00:27:55.360 to institute
00:27:55.760 this massive
00:27:56.480 national change,
00:27:57.480 who need to
00:27:57.860 prove to me
00:27:58.240 that it does
00:27:58.660 anything.
00:27:59.020 And obviously
00:27:59.480 there's no
00:28:00.240 evidence whatsoever.
00:28:01.440 Now,
00:28:01.720 some people
00:28:02.080 might say,
00:28:02.480 well,
00:28:02.760 there was
00:28:03.020 one study
00:28:03.800 once that
00:28:04.480 showed that
00:28:05.220 if you take
00:28:05.740 a hot glue
00:28:06.260 gun and you
00:28:06.780 glue the mask
00:28:07.440 to your face
00:28:07.900 perfectly and
00:28:08.880 you wrap your
00:28:09.360 whole head
00:28:09.660 in saran wrap,
00:28:10.360 then maybe
00:28:11.020 particles won't
00:28:11.980 get in.
00:28:12.760 Okay,
00:28:13.520 is that ever
00:28:14.460 going to work
00:28:14.960 in public?
00:28:16.720 See,
00:28:17.080 what the left
00:28:17.520 will do is
00:28:18.000 they'll point
00:28:18.300 to one example
00:28:18.920 and they'll
00:28:19.240 see when
00:28:19.740 things are
00:28:20.220 working exactly
00:28:21.080 perfectly as
00:28:21.840 I have ordered
00:28:22.420 everybody to
00:28:23.000 make them
00:28:23.300 work,
00:28:24.020 then it
00:28:25.340 works out
00:28:25.740 great.
00:28:27.100 Socialism
00:28:27.540 is perfect
00:28:28.520 if everybody
00:28:29.060 does exactly
00:28:29.660 what I tell
00:28:30.040 them to do.
00:28:30.820 Then,
00:28:31.360 then the
00:28:31.880 economy runs
00:28:32.620 efficiently.
00:28:34.180 It's perfect,
00:28:34.880 it works
00:28:35.140 great.
00:28:37.140 But what
00:28:37.740 about reality?
00:28:39.280 True socialism
00:28:39.900 has never
00:28:40.260 been tried.
00:28:40.740 True social
00:28:41.280 distancing
00:28:41.660 has never
00:28:42.020 been tried.
00:28:42.600 What these
00:28:42.960 two public
00:28:44.060 health officials
00:28:44.540 realized is
00:28:45.680 even beyond
00:28:46.180 the efficacy
00:28:46.580 of masks,
00:28:47.660 people aren't
00:28:48.260 going to wear
00:28:48.780 them appropriately.
00:28:50.100 They're not
00:28:50.380 going to launder
00:28:50.840 them every time
00:28:51.420 they wear them
00:28:51.880 or throw them
00:28:52.340 out every time.
00:28:53.100 They're not
00:28:53.460 going to apply
00:28:53.940 them exactly
00:28:54.480 perfectly without
00:28:55.100 touching their
00:28:55.560 face.
00:28:56.120 They're not
00:28:56.500 going to make
00:28:56.940 them fit
00:28:57.400 exactly right
00:28:58.220 without any
00:28:58.660 spaces.
00:28:59.740 People are
00:29:00.100 people.
00:29:01.020 If your
00:29:01.520 system doesn't
00:29:02.800 account for
00:29:03.260 people being
00:29:03.700 people,
00:29:04.440 then your
00:29:04.720 system's not
00:29:05.240 going to work.
00:29:05.660 And if it's
00:29:05.860 not going to
00:29:06.180 work,
00:29:06.440 what's the
00:29:06.720 point?
00:29:07.020 Same thing
00:29:07.380 with the
00:29:07.600 lockdowns,
00:29:08.080 by the way.
00:29:08.500 The point
00:29:08.800 of the
00:29:09.020 lockdowns was
00:29:09.800 slow the
00:29:11.000 spread,
00:29:11.860 get the
00:29:12.240 curve below
00:29:13.420 the maximum
00:29:14.480 so we don't
00:29:15.020 overwhelm the
00:29:15.520 hospitals.
00:29:16.560 We never
00:29:17.080 came close to
00:29:17.620 overwhelming the
00:29:18.120 hospitals.
00:29:19.700 Flattening the
00:29:20.080 curve is what
00:29:21.900 we did.
00:29:22.420 It worked out
00:29:22.860 fine.
00:29:24.380 Now what?
00:29:25.240 Now we're told
00:29:25.660 to wait for a
00:29:26.100 vaccine, find a
00:29:26.780 cure.
00:29:27.100 Okay, well, we
00:29:27.620 were told by
00:29:28.040 Dr. Fauci,
00:29:28.560 you'll get a
00:29:28.820 vaccine which
00:29:29.520 will be 70%
00:29:30.320 effective if we
00:29:31.200 are extraordinarily
00:29:31.760 lucky, but then
00:29:32.960 not everyone's
00:29:34.060 going to get the
00:29:34.420 vaccine, so we're
00:29:34.920 not going to get
00:29:35.320 to herd immunity.
00:29:35.960 So what are we
00:29:36.560 doing?
00:29:37.800 I get it.
00:29:38.500 In your wonderful
00:29:39.780 magical model,
00:29:41.220 this is all
00:29:41.660 working out
00:29:42.080 perfectly, but
00:29:42.640 here in reality
00:29:43.460 it's not, and
00:29:44.380 people are being
00:29:44.960 silenced, they're
00:29:45.700 being bullied,
00:29:46.520 they're being
00:29:46.880 intimidated, they're
00:29:47.840 being denied basic
00:29:48.860 legal rights, they're
00:29:50.060 being denied their
00:29:50.680 right to go to
00:29:51.220 church for goodness
00:29:51.900 sake, they're being
00:29:52.760 denied their right
00:29:53.280 to speak because of
00:29:55.120 your fantasies, because
00:29:57.360 of your delusions,
00:29:58.800 because you're flexing
00:29:59.580 your power.
00:30:00.280 A lot of people feel
00:30:01.080 that way, and I
00:30:02.560 don't think all of
00:30:03.140 those people are,
00:30:04.680 you know, the
00:30:05.320 Brooks Brothers tie
00:30:06.460 wearing Republican
00:30:07.240 types.
00:30:07.900 It is incumbent on
00:30:09.100 conservatives and
00:30:09.700 Republicans to go
00:30:10.860 get those people.
00:30:12.780 This brings us to a
00:30:13.540 question on COVID
00:30:14.380 aid.
00:30:14.980 So right now the
00:30:15.580 White House is
00:30:16.060 threatening to go
00:30:17.100 alone on more
00:30:18.760 COVID aid.
00:30:19.660 Democrats proposed a
00:30:20.580 $3 trillion plan,
00:30:21.800 that's on top of the
00:30:22.520 last $2 trillion plan
00:30:23.600 that got levered up to
00:30:24.680 $6 trillion to get us
00:30:26.280 through, what, four
00:30:26.960 months of coronavirus,
00:30:28.580 and it didn't even get
00:30:29.200 us through that much.
00:30:30.320 Now they want another
00:30:31.020 plan for $3 trillion,
00:30:32.500 who knows how much
00:30:33.200 that would be levered
00:30:33.800 up to.
00:30:34.940 Republicans came
00:30:35.600 back, they said they
00:30:36.540 want a $1 trillion
00:30:37.120 plan, they can't
00:30:38.220 figure it out,
00:30:38.760 negotiations have
00:30:39.540 stalled, White House
00:30:40.660 says it might go
00:30:41.340 it alone.
00:30:42.300 And this is being
00:30:43.020 called tyranny,
00:30:44.540 irresponsible by
00:30:45.720 people on the left
00:30:46.860 and the right.
00:30:48.080 I don't like the
00:30:48.860 idea of another
00:30:49.520 stimulus, I think we
00:30:51.440 need to reopen the
00:30:52.300 country, that's the
00:30:53.740 only way forward.
00:30:55.440 But let's say we
00:30:56.160 can't do that, let's
00:30:56.760 say the left won't
00:30:57.300 let us reopen the
00:30:58.020 country.
00:30:58.380 Should the White
00:30:59.100 House spend a
00:30:59.560 trillion dollars, if
00:31:01.260 they even can, in an
00:31:02.580 election year?
00:31:04.160 You're damn right
00:31:04.920 they should.
00:31:06.060 Of course they
00:31:06.640 should.
00:31:06.860 First of all, what's
00:31:08.080 a trillion dollars
00:31:08.680 between friends,
00:31:09.480 right?
00:31:09.700 Look at what our
00:31:10.140 national debt is, well
00:31:11.140 over $20 trillion.
00:31:12.520 Look at the spending
00:31:13.400 that we've had for the
00:31:14.040 last 50 years.
00:31:15.540 A trillion dollars
00:31:16.320 during a pandemic
00:31:17.140 isn't going to matter
00:31:17.880 one little bit.
00:31:19.600 But what the left is
00:31:20.420 banking on is that
00:31:21.500 Republicans won't
00:31:22.120 spend that kind of
00:31:22.800 money and won't get
00:31:23.800 people through and
00:31:24.520 then we'll lose the
00:31:25.040 election.
00:31:25.680 What the left is
00:31:26.220 banking on is they
00:31:26.840 can successfully keep
00:31:27.760 the economy crashed
00:31:28.920 past November 3rd.
00:31:31.640 There are even school
00:31:32.280 districts now that are
00:31:33.000 saying we plan to
00:31:33.640 reopen the Monday
00:31:34.720 after election day.
00:31:35.940 It's all about the
00:31:37.760 election.
00:31:38.700 So should Republicans
00:31:39.380 fight back?
00:31:40.240 Of course.
00:31:40.940 Is that unprincipled?
00:31:41.840 I don't think it's
00:31:42.400 unprincipled.
00:31:43.520 I would much rather
00:31:44.520 have good conservative
00:31:45.380 governance that makes
00:31:46.480 structural changes to
00:31:48.060 pay down our debt and
00:31:49.660 reduce our deficit.
00:31:51.200 I would rather our
00:31:52.240 government have some
00:31:53.120 energy to it and
00:31:54.080 actually exert power on
00:31:55.620 the rare occasion that
00:31:56.360 it has it.
00:31:57.180 Because the left sure is.
00:31:58.660 Bill de Blasio was
00:31:59.460 just asked.
00:32:00.900 How it came to be the
00:32:01.860 case that he painted a
00:32:03.340 giant black lives
00:32:04.640 matter mural down the
00:32:05.580 streets of New York.
00:32:06.680 Because if you want a
00:32:07.440 mural in New York City
00:32:08.580 there's a process to go
00:32:10.900 through for that.
00:32:12.320 So a reporter just
00:32:13.160 recently asked the
00:32:14.220 Bolshevik mayor of New
00:32:15.060 York what process he
00:32:17.320 went through to put that
00:32:18.200 to put that mural up.
00:32:19.400 And you know what he
00:32:19.800 said?
00:32:20.700 He said he didn't go
00:32:21.200 through a process because
00:32:22.680 you know this this moment
00:32:25.000 suspends all the rules of
00:32:26.780 politics.
00:32:28.200 We haven't said no to
00:32:29.900 people who said if you
00:32:30.820 want to apply you can
00:32:31.600 apply but there's a
00:32:32.380 process.
00:32:34.420 Look the fact is that
00:32:36.620 what I decided to do with
00:32:38.880 the Black Lives Matter
00:32:40.360 murals and this came out of
00:32:42.200 a meeting at Gracie
00:32:43.140 Mansion weeks ago with
00:32:44.960 community leaders and
00:32:45.980 activists who said this
00:32:47.120 would be such an important
00:32:48.140 thing for this city to
00:32:49.340 declare officially.
00:32:51.660 That is something again
00:32:52.960 transcends all normal
00:32:54.920 realities because we are in
00:32:56.900 a moment of history where
00:32:57.720 this had to be said and
00:32:59.140 done.
00:32:59.440 That's a decision I made.
00:33:01.180 But the normal process
00:33:02.940 continues for anyone who
00:33:04.440 wants to apply.
00:33:06.180 The normal process
00:33:07.400 continues for all the
00:33:09.220 peasants.
00:33:10.000 Yeah the normal process is
00:33:11.100 for all you little people
00:33:11.980 not for me.
00:33:12.480 I do whatever I want.
00:33:13.460 Because this moment
00:33:14.900 transcends all political
00:33:17.740 questions meaning it
00:33:19.800 transcends all of the law
00:33:21.100 all of the Constitution.
00:33:22.900 This moment it needed to be
00:33:25.500 said right now by the city
00:33:27.640 of New York that Black
00:33:29.080 Lives Matter.
00:33:30.120 Let me ask you a question.
00:33:32.200 Does anybody on planet
00:33:34.140 Earth think that New York
00:33:36.340 City does not believe that
00:33:37.500 Black Lives Matter?
00:33:39.800 No.
00:33:40.880 I think we all know that
00:33:41.780 New York City thinks Black
00:33:42.820 Lives Matter.
00:33:43.600 If the mayor is right in his
00:33:46.280 ridiculous political view
00:33:47.840 that liberals love Black
00:33:49.300 people and conservatives hate
00:33:50.160 Black people, New York is
00:33:51.240 one of the most liberal
00:33:51.740 places in the world.
00:33:54.320 So you're good right?
00:33:56.180 Any way you slice it.
00:33:57.640 By de Blasio's own logic
00:34:00.360 he would be fine.
00:34:01.800 But he's just another petty
00:34:02.880 progressive demagogue who
00:34:04.440 believes that the democratic
00:34:06.340 order, the rule of law is
00:34:07.520 fine.
00:34:08.080 It's a fine facade for all the
00:34:09.720 ruffians to kind of keep them
00:34:10.900 amused and distracted.
00:34:12.480 But him, he knows what's best.
00:34:14.500 He knows that he gets to
00:34:15.580 violate the law.
00:34:16.960 He goes it alone.
00:34:18.900 That's what happens here.
00:34:20.860 That's what you can be
00:34:22.120 promised more of if Joe Biden
00:34:23.620 is elected.
00:34:24.260 An outright revolution he says.
00:34:26.540 And if you thought the abuses
00:34:27.840 of the Obama administration
00:34:28.840 were bad, that was a long
00:34:30.420 time ago now.
00:34:31.420 Barack Obama got elected for
00:34:32.400 the first time a dozen years
00:34:33.860 ago.
00:34:34.820 Think about how much more
00:34:36.920 radical our politics have
00:34:39.480 become in the last few years.
00:34:40.920 Think about how much more
00:34:41.680 radical they've become in the
00:34:42.760 last 12.
00:34:43.660 Barack Obama ran against gay
00:34:45.560 marriage.
00:34:46.820 He said marriage is a bond
00:34:48.120 between a man and a woman.
00:34:50.100 Can you imagine that now?
00:34:51.060 He seems like he's an old
00:34:52.980 fogey now.
00:34:53.580 That would make him a
00:34:54.320 conservative Republican if he
00:34:55.660 were to say that.
00:34:56.220 Now even many Republicans
00:34:57.080 won't acknowledge that.
00:35:00.500 So what will you get with
00:35:02.040 Biden?
00:35:03.200 And meanwhile, you've got a
00:35:05.820 full on media, political,
00:35:09.400 journalist, big tech apparatus
00:35:11.200 that will lie on the left's
00:35:12.700 behalf.
00:35:13.460 What started all of the BLM
00:35:15.320 protests and riots?
00:35:17.920 It was the death of George Floyd.
00:35:19.680 And we saw that video of the
00:35:20.600 death of George Floyd and
00:35:21.420 everybody was aghast looking at
00:35:23.540 that video because you see a
00:35:24.480 man lying dead on the ground.
00:35:25.880 Well, the Daily Mail somehow
00:35:27.120 has gotten footage of the
00:35:29.020 body cam leading up to the
00:35:30.740 arrest and to the eventual
00:35:34.920 knee on his neck.
00:35:37.040 I'm not going to play it.
00:35:38.580 I thought about should I play it
00:35:39.960 or should I not?
00:35:40.760 I think there's something a
00:35:42.120 little bit morbid, a little
00:35:44.400 bit wrong about playing this
00:35:50.340 video where you know it's going
00:35:51.560 to end in this man's death and
00:35:52.760 then the man is dead on the
00:35:53.760 video.
00:35:55.060 So I'm not going to play it,
00:35:56.140 but I will tell you what
00:35:56.700 happens.
00:35:57.720 I am giving you a straight
00:35:59.020 rundown.
00:35:59.440 If you want to check it out
00:36:00.160 for yourself, you're more than
00:36:01.140 welcome to.
00:36:02.260 Cops come up, knock on George
00:36:03.780 Floyd's window.
00:36:05.000 He's sitting in his car and he
00:36:07.460 becomes very emotional and he
00:36:09.820 starts sort of yelling and
00:36:11.960 crying.
00:36:13.080 But crucially, he isn't
00:36:14.960 cooperating.
00:36:16.120 So finally, they get him to put
00:36:17.080 his hands on the wheel, but he
00:36:19.420 seems like his behavior is
00:36:20.620 erratic.
00:36:21.520 Later, it appears we found out
00:36:23.000 he was on drugs.
00:36:24.160 Then they finally get him out.
00:36:25.500 He says his mother just died.
00:36:27.100 That turned out that was not
00:36:28.640 true.
00:36:29.820 His mother died a while ago.
00:36:31.640 Then he says that he can't
00:36:34.600 breathe.
00:36:35.060 This is while he's standing up.
00:36:36.280 This is, you know, not while he's
00:36:37.660 lying on the ground.
00:36:38.940 Then he refuses to get in the car.
00:36:41.680 He says he won't get in the cop
00:36:43.120 car because he's claustrophobic.
00:36:44.300 He can't be inside a car, but
00:36:45.360 obviously that's not true because
00:36:46.500 when the cops arrested him
00:36:47.700 first, he was sitting inside of
00:36:49.380 a car.
00:36:50.100 So very, very strange behavior.
00:36:51.600 It's very emotional to watch
00:36:52.900 because he's really, he's
00:36:55.160 crying.
00:36:55.820 He's, he's become erratic.
00:36:57.420 He's, but when you watch the
00:37:00.660 whole footage, you think, gosh,
00:37:01.860 this is horribly sad and I
00:37:03.440 don't know what happened here at
00:37:04.320 the end and I don't know why,
00:37:06.160 you know, the guy kept his knee
00:37:07.560 on his neck even when he wasn't
00:37:08.620 moving and I don't know any of
00:37:09.680 these things.
00:37:11.080 But overall, what the footage
00:37:13.940 shows is that this was a much
00:37:16.320 more complex situation than
00:37:17.680 anybody thought.
00:37:18.600 The cops were not just going in
00:37:20.540 and trying to come out and kill
00:37:22.200 this guy.
00:37:22.920 There was a long issue here.
00:37:24.820 There was a lot of erratic
00:37:25.560 behavior.
00:37:25.980 There was a lot of resisting
00:37:26.900 arrest.
00:37:28.080 It's going to make it very
00:37:29.000 difficult for this murder charge
00:37:31.600 that they're trying to throw on
00:37:32.460 the cop to go through.
00:37:33.960 You might say it was an abuse of
00:37:35.320 power.
00:37:35.680 You might say he behaved
00:37:36.520 inappropriately.
00:37:37.160 You might even say it was
00:37:37.720 manslaughter.
00:37:38.560 But murder, there's just not
00:37:39.760 evidence of that.
00:37:40.600 But that's not going to get
00:37:42.720 out.
00:37:43.160 I guarantee you that video is
00:37:44.900 going to be suppressed if you
00:37:46.000 can even find it still.
00:37:49.100 That's not the point.
00:37:50.820 The reality is not the point.
00:37:52.320 It's the illusion.
00:37:53.720 And it's the fact that you've
00:37:55.580 got to pay lip service to the
00:37:57.180 delusion and the fantasy and the
00:38:00.420 ideology.
00:38:00.960 And if you don't pay lip service
00:38:02.000 to it, you will have your life
00:38:03.640 ruined.
00:38:04.940 All based on a lie.
00:38:06.740 This runs so deep, you've got
00:38:12.520 Karen Bass now being considered
00:38:13.940 as a potential vice
00:38:15.000 presidential candidate with Joe
00:38:16.640 Biden.
00:38:17.360 Karen Bass, a radical who
00:38:19.300 volunteered for communists in the
00:38:20.880 70s, who praised Fidel Castro
00:38:22.900 just a handful of years ago, who
00:38:25.220 regularly associates with the head
00:38:27.520 of Black Lives Matter, with
00:38:28.700 self-described Marxists.
00:38:30.360 Then when I asked her about it on
00:38:31.580 television, she lied through her
00:38:33.160 teeth and said she didn't know any
00:38:34.240 of those people.
00:38:35.700 It's a radical person.
00:38:36.560 That could be his running mate.
00:38:37.400 Forget it.
00:38:37.680 Even the staff.
00:38:39.580 This culture has become so
00:38:40.740 pervasive.
00:38:42.280 I kid you not.
00:38:43.820 A comment on Twitter by a
00:38:46.280 scientist, a guy who runs a
00:38:48.220 science journal, a joke about
00:38:51.140 roundworms is now being denounced
00:38:53.700 as racist and sexist and
00:38:55.840 promoting white supremacy.
00:38:57.000 Seriously.
00:38:58.340 A guy, Michael Eisen, editor of
00:38:59.680 eLife, was talking about C.
00:39:02.380 elegans, commonly known as
00:39:04.040 roundworms.
00:39:05.420 He said they're the most
00:39:06.120 overrated animal.
00:39:07.400 They wiggle forward, they wiggle
00:39:08.680 backwards, and occasionally they
00:39:10.780 F themselves.
00:39:11.880 That's it.
00:39:13.420 It's pretty funny.
00:39:15.360 People were just taking this joke
00:39:16.620 in stride.
00:39:18.060 And then a group actually came out
00:39:19.080 and said it was racist and it was
00:39:20.220 sexist.
00:39:21.560 How?
00:39:22.060 I don't know.
00:39:22.940 They were, they were fine.
00:39:23.660 It was basically following
00:39:24.540 intersectionality to its logical
00:39:25.980 conclusion, which is that there's
00:39:27.740 one oppressor group, which I guess
00:39:29.900 would be straight white men who think
00:39:31.460 that they're men, and then everyone
00:39:33.320 else is oppressed by that group.
00:39:34.760 Now, apparently including animals,
00:39:36.220 not just animals, including insects
00:39:37.640 as well.
00:39:38.240 Not just insects, including little
00:39:39.580 roundworms.
00:39:41.240 So, one person said, look, it's just
00:39:44.780 a joke.
00:39:45.280 And a woman replies, it's just a joke.
00:39:46.760 Women and people of color have heard
00:39:48.520 that one before.
00:39:49.600 That's how locked up in this
00:39:52.520 ideological fantasy they are.
00:39:55.280 That is a stifling environment.
00:39:57.020 That is an environment that is so
00:40:00.020 ridiculous, we would all be laughing
00:40:01.720 at it, except you can't laugh at it.
00:40:03.460 Because if you do laugh at it, you
00:40:05.260 could lose everything.
00:40:07.420 That, that gives you a silent
00:40:09.540 majority.
00:40:11.240 Trump's whole job from now until the
00:40:14.200 election is not to appeal to left-wing
00:40:17.660 Democrats.
00:40:18.420 It's not to appeal to left-wing
00:40:20.320 interest groups that the left has
00:40:22.260 divvied up.
00:40:22.840 It's not to pretend that he's a more
00:40:25.340 liberal candidate than Joe Biden, which
00:40:26.660 is what his campaign was doing
00:40:27.760 inexplicably for months.
00:40:30.120 His entire goal must be to appeal to
00:40:34.660 that group, the silent majority of
00:40:36.700 Americans.
00:40:37.820 And in an environment as crazy as this,
00:40:40.240 they just might vote for him.
00:40:41.660 That's our show.

00:41:40.900 You know, The Matt Walsh Show, it's not
00:41:43.380 just another show about politics.
00:41:45.300 I think there are enough of those
00:41:46.240 already out there.
00:41:47.220 We talk about culture because culture
00:41:49.200 drives politics and it drives everything
00:41:51.380 else.
