While Democrats continue to burn down the country, President Trump has been nominated
00:00:04.520
for the Nobel Peace Prize, not once, but twice. One of the president's nominators asked this
00:00:10.660
question, can you name a person who has done more for peace than President Trump? Well,
00:00:15.760
I am sitting across the street from the White House. There is a major Middle East peace deal
00:00:20.320
being signed today. It's a wonderful question, shows you the difference between anarchy and
00:00:26.540
rioting, between violence and peace. We'll get into it. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael
00:00:30.640
Knowles Show. Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment from yesterday comes from John,
00:00:42.660
who says, at football games, they should say, ladies and gentlemen, please rise for the playing
00:00:48.600
of our national anthem. Everyone else, please kneel or remain seated in honor of our president,
00:00:53.460
Donald Trump. I love this idea because it backs the left into a corner, right? And they have to
00:00:59.100
either show some respect for the flag or they have to, in a way, show respect for the president.
00:01:04.960
Obviously, John, I think, is joking, but he makes a great point, which is yesterday we were talking
00:01:09.020
about how the left backs conservatives into a corner. So we're damned if we do and we're damned
00:01:14.320
if we don't. They always do this. They're very good at framing the political discussion. We've got
00:01:19.560
to start doing that as well. And the left right now is using violence and he's using the threat
00:01:26.080
of violence to try to back us into this corner on the election. President Trump, while he's being
00:01:30.780
nominated for peace deals, he can't shoulder the entire burden of the conservative resistance to
00:01:36.820
this on his own. We'll get into what that looks like. But first, I got to thank our friends over at
00:01:42.320
We the People Holsters. Talk about making sure that you're in a safe position. We the People Holsters,
00:01:47.820
if you've got a handgun, but you do not have a good holster, you are just not doing firearms
00:01:54.420
correctly. And We the People Holsters is the best. These guys have terrific designs. First of all,
00:02:00.960
you know that I lean a little bit more aesthetic, even beyond utility, but they've also got perfect
00:02:05.960
utility. Their holsters are fitted absolutely perfectly for your firearm. Satisfaction guaranteed.
00:02:12.340
Best of all, they start at just $39. Three, nine. Unbelievable. You've got to make sure that you
00:02:18.940
are doing firearms correctly. Also, they're made right here in the USA. So to get started, I've got
00:02:24.780
an even better deal for you. Go to wethepeopleholsters.com slash Knowles. Get yours. Every
00:02:29.800
holster ships free, comes with a lifetime guarantee. And then, even though the price was already so low,
00:02:35.380
you'll get an additional $10 off with the offer code Knowles. So that, I'm no mathematical genius,
00:02:40.360
but that brings it down to $29 for an absolutely top shelf holster in an incredible design,
00:02:46.440
patriotic, made here in the USA. Go get it. Satisfaction guaranteed. If it's not a perfect
00:02:50.440
fit, you can send it back. You get a total refund. wethepeopleholsters.com slash Knowles. And then
00:02:56.280
what's the code? Very easy to remember. Knowles, K-N-W-L-E-S. Go on over there. Protect your firearm
00:03:01.440
today. President Trump, speaking of firearms and violence and peace, President Trump has an
00:03:09.760
historic peace deal that is being signed just today across the street, which we'll get into.
00:03:15.040
And for that reason, he is being nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Now, it seems a little
00:03:20.940
confusing, right? Because you're talking about the threat of violence for peace. This goes back to
00:03:25.440
Ronald Reagan. It goes back far before Ronald Reagan. The idea of peace through strength.
00:03:30.440
You know, during the previous administration, Obama, he was apologizing to everybody in the world
00:03:35.480
and giving things away to everybody in the world and saying, we're not going to be violent. What
00:03:38.320
happens? The world gets much more violent because of that. Trump comes in. He says, we're going to be
00:03:43.200
very strong. We're going to have a strong foreign policy. What happens? You get peace. If you know
00:03:47.860
anything about geopolitics, that makes sense to you. But for naive people on the left, it doesn't make
00:03:53.580
sense. So why do you get nominated? How do you get nominated? Christian Tybring Gjede, I'm certainly not
00:04:00.300
pronouncing that correctly, a Norwegian parliamentarian nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. People have
00:04:07.220
been using this as a punchline, but it's not a punchline because Donald Trump certainly deserves
00:04:12.620
the peace prize more than a previous recipient, Barack Obama. Remember, Barack Obama was nominated
00:04:18.640
for the Nobel Peace Prize after having been in office for nine days. It was completely ridiculous.
00:04:25.800
Also, Barack Obama started a bunch of wars. Remember that? They told me if I voted for John McCain,
00:04:30.980
we'd get more wars in the Middle East. Well, guess what happened? I voted for John McCain. We got more
00:04:34.320
wars in the Middle East. He was only nominated because he was a symbol of coming out of the
00:04:39.920
Bush eras and a symbol of hope. But his actual policies were not very peaceful at all. What
00:04:45.620
about Al Gore, another past recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize? He got the prize for a PowerPoint
00:04:50.540
presentation that was a bunch of BS that they actually had to censor in British schools. A judge
00:04:57.840
ruled that they had to censor parts of it because they were just factually ridiculous. He wins the
00:05:02.120
peace prize. Donald Trump, why should he get the peace prize? Because he's signing historic peace
00:05:05.880
deals. Isn't that the point of the peace prize? You would think so. He was nominated not just once
00:05:09.820
but twice. Another guy, Magnus Jacobson, member of the Swedish parliament, also nominated Trump
00:05:16.760
because of his peace deal, not just in Israel, but also a peace deal between Serbia and Kosovo.
00:05:24.120
When Trump entered office and everyone was predicting the worst and saying he was going to be the worst
00:05:28.300
president ever, I did say, look, we're all joking about this now, but watch, Trump is going to bring
00:05:32.840
peace to the Middle East. Well, he sort of has. So right, actually at my hotel right now where I'm
00:05:38.660
staying in DC, I'm here to do a few episodes of Verdict with Senator Cruz. At my hotel, you have
00:05:45.180
delegations from Israel, you have delegations from Bahrain, you have delegations from all over because
00:05:50.400
directly across the street at the White House, they're signing an historic peace deal between Israel and
00:05:55.500
the United Arab Emirates and Israel and Bahrain. You're getting two new Middle East peace deals.
00:06:03.200
This is the first time in decades that this has happened. It's pretty important stuff. So you've
00:06:09.020
got those two deals, but it's not even just regarding Israel. We always joke about Middle East peace being
00:06:14.560
the hardest thing to solve, right? Because that area of the world has been at war now for thousands
00:06:18.600
and thousands of years. But that's not the only place that's at war and it's not the only place that
00:06:22.880
the Trump administration is working on peace deals. He's also gotten one in Kosovo and Serbia
00:06:27.400
for any of the 90s kids or people who were alive before then. You'll remember there was major violence
00:06:33.100
in Kosovo in the late 1990s. There have always been these sorts of tensions. They've been simmering
00:06:39.120
for a long time. Trump also gets a deal on that. Even Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom is admitting
00:06:47.540
that President Trump is doing a good job. This specifically on the California wildfires.
00:06:53.640
Take a listen to Newsom heaping praise on Trump.
00:06:57.060
I want to thank you and acknowledge the work that you've done to be immediate in terms of
00:07:02.760
your response to our FMAG request 14. And we were just talking, Mark Giladuce is the head of the
00:07:08.140
office of emergency service. This may be a record that the states received in the FMAG support,
00:07:12.780
as well as the major disaster declaration, which you referenced on August 22nd, which was profoundly
00:07:19.200
significant, not only to help us support our mutual aid system, but also individuals that are in
00:07:25.180
desperate need of support. We can agree to disagree, and I appreciate your frame on the politics of
00:07:30.660
this. But let me just acknowledge two things briefly, and I'll turn it back to you. There's no question
00:07:36.620
when you look past this decade and looking past almost a thousand plus years that we have not
00:07:43.020
done justice on our forest management. I don't think anyone disputes that. I want to acknowledge
00:07:47.500
we have our U.S. Forest Representative here, the state of California. Your administration just entered
00:07:53.660
into a first type commitment over the next 20 years to double our vegetation management and forest
00:08:00.980
management. I want to thank you for supporting that effort. You ever notice how all these
00:08:06.220
Democratic psychos talk a big talk when they go on CNN or MSNBC, but then when they're face to face
00:08:11.740
with Trump, they have to admit he's doing a pretty good job? You know, there have been wildfires raging
00:08:17.400
throughout California and Oregon and all over the place, and the left broadly is blaming it on
00:08:24.000
climate change, and Trump's not doing enough on climate change, and you got to hear what Joe Biden's
00:08:27.820
saying about this, which we'll get to in a second. But Gavin Newsom there is coming out, and he's
00:08:32.400
actually admitting, no, it's kind of our fault. Sorry, yeah, we probably should have managed those
00:08:36.740
forests, huh? But we didn't do that very well. Yikes. Sorry about that. And why? Well, one, because
00:08:41.360
he's got to suck up to Trump to get more federal aid. But two, because he's looking him in the face,
00:08:45.160
and he knows he can't lie right to his face. Don't forget, all these Democrats knew Donald Trump. He
00:08:49.780
would donate to many of their campaigns before he ran for president as a Republican. And so when they're
00:08:54.740
face to face with it, they have to admit, gosh, I hate it. It does. I know I'm not allowed to say this
00:08:58.520
on CNN, but you're doing a pretty good job. He's doing a pretty good job. That's the reality of
00:09:03.280
the situation. But is Trump going to get the Nobel Peace Prize? I don't think so. Is the mainstream
00:09:08.400
media going to admit that Trump is doing a good job? I don't think so. They've got too much of a
00:09:13.120
vested interest in the disorder. They've got too much of a vested interest in the violence, which is a
00:09:19.480
very, very bad thing. And it's going all the way up to the top. But much more important than that,
00:09:26.440
you need to get car parts at a decent price. And that's why you got to go to rockauto.com.
00:09:31.360
Rockauto.com, much, much easier than going into the store. You know, I don't know very much about
00:09:36.740
cars. I know this is shocking to you. You think that I'm there every, you know, every weekend
00:09:40.780
working on my car, you know, getting grease all over. Well, no, I don't. I'll admit that I don't.
00:09:46.360
But thankfully, rockauto.com's catalog is so simple, even I can navigate it. And you know what happens.
00:09:51.760
You go into a brick and mortar store. You say, I need this gizmo for my car. And it's the
00:09:56.220
EX and the FX and whatever. And then they say, oh yeah, we don't have it in stock,
00:09:59.740
but we'll get it in stock. Then they go online. They probably order it from rockauto.com.
00:10:03.280
They charge you twice as much. Don't do it. There's no reason to do that. You can trust
00:10:07.320
rockauto.com. Their prices are always reliably low. They're a family business. They've been
00:10:11.420
serving online customers for 20 years, which by my calculations is basically the entire history
00:10:16.700
of the internet. They're a family-run company. Just a really great, reliable guys. Head on over
00:10:22.320
right now to rockauto.com. You can see all the parts available for your car or truck. And then
00:10:28.880
most importantly, write Knowles in their how did you hear about us box so that they know that we
00:10:33.660
sent you. Rockauto.com and write Knowles in their how did you hear about us box.
00:10:39.940
So Newsom admits Trump doing a pretty good job. Some people nominating for the Nobel Peace Prize admit
00:10:46.400
Trump doing a good job. Joe Biden, not so much. While the governor of California where the wildfires
00:10:52.580
are raging is saying that Trump is not, not responsible for the wildfires because obviously
00:10:57.620
he's not. Joe Biden is calling Trump a climate arsonist. Donald Trump warns that integration
00:11:05.620
is threatening our suburbs. It's ridiculous. But you know what is actually threatening our suburbs?
00:11:12.800
Wildfires are burning the suburbs in the West. Floods are wiping out suburban neighborhoods in the
00:11:19.500
Midwest. Hurricanes are imperiling suburban life along our coast. If we have four more years of Trump's
00:11:27.860
climate denial, how many suburbs will be burned in wildfires? How many suburban neighborhoods will
00:11:34.740
have been flooded out? How many suburbs will have been blown away in super storms?
00:11:40.980
If you give a climate arsonist four more years in the White House, why would anyone be surprised if
00:11:49.640
we have more America ablaze? If you give a climate denier four more years in the White House,
00:11:55.740
why would anyone be surprised when more of America is underwater?
00:12:00.640
Trump is destroying the whole world. Well, what's Joe Biden's argument here? Joe Biden,
00:12:06.960
who was famously accused by his own running mate of supporting segregation,
00:12:13.720
palling around with segregationists, opposing policies for integration, is now accusing Donald
00:12:19.360
Trump of supporting segregation because he thinks suburban communities ought to be able to write their
00:12:24.520
own zoning laws and not have the federal government steal that power up, which they did during the
00:12:29.480
Obama administration. That's the first part of what he's saying. And then, because everybody's making
00:12:34.520
the play for suburban voters here, actually, this Obama Biden era rule, this power grab in the suburbs
00:12:39.120
was all about turning suburbs, which are traditionally fairly politically split. They're purple districts
00:12:45.840
trying to flip them blue. So what is his play for the suburbs? Why are the suburbs dying? Why are the
00:12:52.640
suburbs becoming less pleasant? Not because Joe Biden supported a rising China, not because Joe Biden
00:12:58.700
famously supported shipping jobs overseas, not because Joe Biden has onerous regulations and has
00:13:05.420
supported onerous regulations from the federal government. That's making it much, much harder to
00:13:09.160
do business. No, not any of that. It's because mean old Trump is palling around with the sun monster.
00:13:15.800
That's his argument. It's a ridiculous argument. And then he uses that phrase, Trump is a climate
00:13:21.440
arsonist. What is a climate arsonist? Because he's not supporting a government takeover of
00:13:30.940
manufacturing and industry and proposing all these huge redistributive wealth taxes and not
00:13:37.980
supporting the Green New Deal, $93 trillion to set up reparations for slavery. I don't know what that
00:13:42.900
has to do with the environment. Because Trump's not doing that, then he's responsible for the wildfires,
00:13:47.220
which are being caused by global warming because science says so, except science doesn't say so.
00:13:52.060
And you know who might be starting the wildfires? Not the climate arsonist, but the actual arsonists
00:13:57.120
who are being arrested in Oregon for setting some of these fires. Yes, not President Trump. He's not
00:14:04.080
the one going around burning down the forests. Some of these fires are being set by actual arsonists.
00:14:11.820
In Ashland, Oregon, the police chief, Tigay O'Meara, announced on Thursday that there is a
00:14:17.180
criminal investigation that has been opened into the cause of the Alameda fire because the
00:14:22.680
circumstances around that fire are suspicious. Here is what the chief said. We've got good reason
00:14:28.200
to believe that there was a human element to it. We're going to pursue it as a criminal investigation
00:14:34.340
until we have reason to believe that it was otherwise. Four people have been arrested so far.
00:14:41.460
This is what the left does. It's like that meme of that guy who turns around and shoots somebody
00:14:48.240
and then he looks to the camera. He says, why did you do that? Why did Trump do that? That's what
00:14:53.440
the left is doing. The left is committing lots and lots of violence. The left is projecting everything
00:15:00.800
that they're doing out. And then they're saying, why are you doing that? Why are you doing that?
00:15:05.660
So in probably the most discreet violent news is a great example of this. There's a guy who was
00:15:12.960
killed by the cops, black man killed by the cops. So what happens? You know, you know what happens
00:15:19.160
rioting in the streets, more riots this time in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I have images of the Amish
00:15:24.980
just rioting over whatever the social justice warrior cause du jour is. The, the rioters,
00:15:31.840
which include BLM and include Antifa are very upset because, uh, a man, uh, whose name is
00:15:38.920
Ricardo Munoz was a 27 was killed by the police. And because Ricardo Munoz is a man of color,
00:15:47.440
I don't know his specific racial makeup, but obviously it's very, very important to the
00:15:51.020
rioters. Uh, Ricardo Munoz was killed by the police. It couldn't possibly be a justified killing.
00:15:55.660
So we have riots except, except we have video. And it turns out that before this, this saint,
00:16:03.300
this martyr, this wonderful man was shot by the police, he charged at them with a knife.
00:16:08.600
You can see the body camera footage. Cops are walking down the street and then all of a sudden
00:16:13.980
a guy busts out the door. The cops take off running, by the way, the guy is catching up on them
00:16:20.720
with a knife, wielding a knife in his hand. Finally, cops turn around and shoot the guy.
00:16:25.660
But what's amazing about the body camera footage that people aren't really focusing on is that
00:16:29.980
the minute the guy comes out the door, the cops don't just start shooting. The cops try to run
00:16:33.920
away. And the guy with the knife charges at them as they're running away. And then the officers have
00:16:39.660
no choice but to discharge their weapon. So cue the riots. Riots going on all over the place as always.
00:16:47.920
No justice, no peace, BLM, Antifa. Shows as clear as day, these riots were never about justice.
00:17:02.300
And conservatives have been kind of dancing around this issue. They'll always say, well, you know,
00:17:06.220
the Jacob Blake shooting might have kind of looked like it was sort of justified.
00:17:10.240
Well, you know, this other shooting or that other shooting looked like it was kind of justified.
00:17:13.960
Well, this fellow doesn't seem to have died because of police brutality entirely. It looks
00:17:18.120
like it might have had something to do with a fentanyl overdose that he was on and resisting
00:17:22.120
arrest. But we've all been dancing right. Well, maybe it's just a misunderstanding. Maybe the left
00:17:26.480
thinks it's an injustice. But actually, when you look at the evidence, which no one ever seems that
00:17:30.460
interested in doing, it wasn't an injustice. Stop it. Stop it. These riots were never about justice.
00:17:39.680
Ever. Get that thought out of your head. Tuck it away with Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.
00:17:46.320
This insurrection that's going on in our country, being led by Black Lives Matter, being enforced by
00:17:54.300
Antifa, being encouraged and promoted by the mainstream media and elected Democrats and appointed
00:18:01.500
Democrats, was never about justice. Then why is it that the riots are always triggered
00:18:09.500
by a shooting? Because the shooting is just the trigger. It's like the church bell in a charming
00:18:17.180
country town. It's like a rooster crowing in the morning. It's a signal, go out and riot. But it doesn't
00:18:25.120
have to be an unjustified shooting. No one cares about that. They want to riot. The left wants to
00:18:33.320
encourage violence. They just need a signal to let them all know, okay, now's the time that we go out in
00:18:38.340
the streets and be violent. You don't want just one or two people going out in the streets and being
00:18:42.300
violent. That's easier to take down. So there needs to be a signal. What's the signal? Anytime a cop
00:18:46.840
of any race shoots a man of color, whatever that means, for any reason whatsoever, if the media can
00:18:54.420
make it sensational, then the left will go out and become very violent. This is a plan. This plan goes
00:19:02.920
all the way to the top. You don't need to consider this conspiracy type thinking. Listen to the elected
00:19:09.240
and appointed officials themselves, which we will do. But first, we need to listen to one another
00:19:13.480
when we call one another on the phone. But you shouldn't pay too much for your cell phone. I know,
00:19:17.720
you look at your cell phone bill, you say, there's no way this ever changes. There's no way, for some
00:19:22.680
reason, the bill gets more and more expensive and they've got all these kind of hidden fees. And
00:19:26.140
if you're like me, you'd take a look at your bill and you say, gosh, this is so much more money
00:19:30.960
than I should be paying. Well, what if I told you that you can save 50% on your cell phone bill
00:19:36.560
and not sacrifice any service? And by not sacrifice any service, I'm not saying that there is another,
00:19:43.180
you know, kind of cell network or there are these other cell towers and they're good. They're just
00:19:48.800
as good. No, I'm saying, let's say you got AT&T or Verizon. Pure Talk USA will use the exact same
00:19:56.660
network, the exact same coverage, the exact same towers, but you save 50%. How is that? It sounds
00:20:02.840
too good to be true. It's not. The average person is saving $400 a year. You can get unlimited talk,
00:20:08.740
text, and two gigs of data for just $20 a month. They've got a plan that fits every need and budget
00:20:14.580
customer service located in the USA. They don't charge you for a whole lot of data and perks that
00:20:21.260
you'll never use. They don't charge you for these zillion dollar advertising campaigns. And so the
00:20:26.260
savings goes right to you. Unlimited talk, unlimited text, two gigs of data for $20 per month. All you
00:20:31.260
need to do is grab your mobile phone, dial pound 250 and say the keyword, Michael Knowles. Do that.
00:20:36.400
You will save a ton of money. You can thank me later. Pound 250, say keyword Michael Knowles.
00:20:42.160
You got to say the whole name. Otherwise they'll think you're talking about Beyonce. When you do,
00:20:45.040
you will save 50% off your first month. This violence that has nothing to do with justice is,
00:20:52.660
is being organized from the top of the left. While Trump is being nominated for Nobel Peace
00:20:57.260
Prizes, rightly so, the left is openly calling for and celebrating violence. The city manager of
00:21:04.880
Linwood, California, Jose Olmatotal, I don't know how to pronounce his name and I don't really care to,
00:21:11.920
posted on his Instagram a viral message. He's since made his Instagram private. This comes from
00:21:19.720
Malcolm X, the 1960s radical leader who said, chickens coming home to roost.
00:21:30.340
This is, Malcolm X said this about the killing of JFK. So these are the chickens coming home to roost
00:21:35.720
because, you know, America and white people are really evil. And so it's totally just that they're
00:21:41.420
now being assassinated. Well, that's what the city manager in Linwood is saying over the shooting
00:21:47.440
of two sheriff's deputies there. This is not some radical activist like Malcolm X. I mean,
00:21:52.980
I guess he is a radical activist, but he's a city manager. And what's a city manager? It's a job
00:21:57.540
that probably shouldn't even exist. A city manager is an appointed official who is appointed by an
00:22:02.680
elected official to do the elected official's job, namely running the city. This goes all the way back
00:22:07.340
to something we've been talking about for weeks on this show, which is the progressive movement,
00:22:12.120
going back to Woodrow Wilson and even a little before that, sought to separate politics from
00:22:18.180
administration. Used to be you elect a guy and the guy runs the government and then you don't like
00:22:24.080
him, you kick him out and you get some new guy in there. But after the progressive era, you have
00:22:29.320
this separation. So you elect the guy, but it doesn't really matter who you elect because the
00:22:34.240
administrative state on the local level and on the national level is just going to keep humming along
00:22:39.220
and they're going to keep running your life for you. And they're not going to be particularly
00:22:43.060
accountable to politics. So that's what a city manager is. This guy is, is the deep state,
00:22:48.480
right? On a very local level. This guy is the representative of the deep state that just goes
00:22:53.460
about and doesn't really care what you think about the way he's, he's running your lives.
00:22:57.420
And this guy is as radical as they get. He's saying that sheriff's deputies should be murdered,
00:23:04.500
should be, should just completely unprovoked, should be shot down in the streets, including
00:23:10.480
a 30 something year old mother, a woman just shot by this thug because, I don't know,
00:23:17.860
because white people are bad or something or because America's evil or racist or something
00:23:21.380
like that. That's how far the radicalism goes. No argument about justice, pure vengeance,
00:23:29.720
pure intimidation, pure violence. Now they obviously don't care about Black Lives Matter
00:23:36.740
or whatever stupid saying they're talking about because the city manager and the left and the
00:23:41.980
media and the elected Democrats, they don't talk about the people being killed in Baltimore and
00:23:45.880
Chicago. Guess how many people were shot last week in Baltimore? Take a guess. What do you say?
00:23:53.700
How many people should be shot in just a week in an American city? None really, but let's say one,
00:23:58.260
two, 50. 50 people shot in Baltimore over the course of one week from Sunday, September 6th
00:24:06.740
through Sunday, September 13th. 50 shot, 15 shot fatally. Democrat city. Nobody cares.
00:24:17.340
It's an overwhelmingly black city. Nobody cares. Nobody cares about Black Lives Matter. Chicago.
00:24:21.760
Guess how many people were shot in one weekend? Not a week, a weekend. 50 people. Two days.
00:24:31.260
50 people, 11 of them shot fatally. Democrat run city, overwhelmingly black. None of these people
00:24:36.280
care. The city manager of Linwood doesn't care. Joe Biden doesn't care. The mainstream media don't care
00:24:42.180
because that violence isn't useful to them. So they're not going to exploit it. They're not going
00:24:48.780
to sensationalize it. Conservatives do this thing. I think we're all kind of guilty of it,
00:24:55.120
where we try to make some rhyme or reason out of what the left is doing. Well, maybe this city
00:25:01.240
manager of Linwood who's celebrating the attempted murder of two sheriff's deputies, maybe he just
00:25:05.500
doesn't understand. Maybe he just needs a little bit of a better, maybe we just need to make better
00:25:10.160
arguments. Don't you think? No, there's no arguing with this complete degenerate city manager.
00:25:15.500
There's no arguing with people who are calling for riots and violence in the streets. There's no,
00:25:20.380
they've, they've abandoned argument. They've abandoned reason. They've abandoned logic. Now,
00:25:24.880
we can make arguments to people on the right. We can make arguments to the handful of people who
00:25:29.840
are undecided or to the many people who consider themselves apolitical and who don't really pay a
00:25:34.660
ton of attention to these issues. But there is no arguing with the left that's encouraging this
00:25:39.040
violence. I mean, by definition, if you're, if you're calling for insurrection in the streets,
00:25:42.840
you're saying we're going to abandon reason. We're going to abandon logic. And so we should
00:25:46.700
stop wasting our time and our breath trying to argue with them. We need to start spending our
00:25:51.400
energy exercising political power as we can because the left is trying to steal this election.
00:25:57.760
I was on the phone with someone yesterday with a professor, friend of mine who was asking,
00:26:03.340
what do you think is going to happen with the election? Do you think Trump is going to win?
00:26:05.480
You know, I said, yeah, I think he's going to win if, if the votes are counted,
00:26:09.580
but I think he's going to lose because I think they're going to steal it.
00:26:13.520
So it's, uh, it's my two answers. Yeah. I think if the election were held today and the vote were
00:26:17.940
fair, Trump would win overwhelmingly. I think he would win all the States in Greenland. Okay. Maybe
00:26:23.320
not that much. We haven't annexed Greenland yet, unfortunately, but I think he would win
00:26:28.280
and significantly, but that's not what we're asking this election is the left has already told us
00:26:34.340
they're not going to play fair. They've already told us they're not going to concede the election
00:26:37.640
because this is never about justice. You know, what's going to happen in my own,
00:26:43.060
my own home state of New York on Thanksgiving. You always look forward to it. It's, it's kind of
00:26:48.100
the mark, the beginning of the Christmas season, the Thanksgiving day parade, the Macy's Thanksgiving
00:26:53.720
day parade. Oh, I've got such wonderful memories as a little kid waking up, sipping hot cocoa,
00:26:58.740
watching the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade. Well, it's not going to happen. Not going to happen
00:27:02.320
this year for the first time in the 90 year history of the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade.
00:27:07.080
They're not going to hold it because of coronavirus. That's what they say, but it's
00:27:13.580
not about coronavirus and it's not about public health. Bill de Blasio, back in July when everyone
00:27:19.720
was worried about the second wave and coronavirus jumping up again, Bill de Blasio said, yeah,
00:27:23.940
we're going to cancel these gatherings. We're going to cancel parades or whatever,
00:27:28.220
you know, simply this kind of similar peaceful gatherings. We're going to cancel in, in room dining.
00:27:32.920
We're going to cancel bars. We're going to cancel concerts. We're going to cancel every peaceful
00:27:36.420
activity where you can join together. And then he's asked about the violent riots and the protests.
00:27:42.820
And you know what he says? Those are okay. What about protests? If people want to march down
00:27:47.940
Fifth Avenue, are they going to be allowed to do so? Look, Wolf, this is always an area of real
00:27:52.660
sensitivity. If you're just talking about health, we would always say, hey folks, you know, stay home
00:27:57.580
if you can. But we understand at this moment in history, people are talking about the need for
00:28:02.120
historic changes. I mean, today in New York City, you know, recognizing the power and the meaning of
00:28:08.640
the message Black Lives Matter, which we did in front of Trump Tower today. This is a historic
00:28:13.520
moment of change. We have to respect that, but also say to people, the kinds of gatherings we're used
00:28:19.340
to, the parades, the fairs, we just can't have that while we're focusing on health right now.
00:28:24.780
The kinds of gatherings we're used to, you know, all the peaceful gatherings, every single one of
00:28:31.380
them, we can't have those. And we can't have those for 15 days. Sorry, I mean 15 months. Sorry,
00:28:37.240
I mean 15 years. Sorry, I mean no end in sight. We can't ever have those again. So long as we're out
00:28:44.220
of power. Or I guess they're in power, but they're not in power at the presidency. They're not in power at
00:28:49.840
the Senate. They're only half in power at the Supreme Court. So sorry, we can't have those
00:28:53.840
until you give us all the political power we want. We can have violent riots though,
00:28:58.480
and we're going to have a lot more of them if you don't elect us. That's implicit. That's what he's
00:29:02.180
saying. Obviously, it's not about public health unless the coronavirus can discern between a peaceful
00:29:08.700
parade that, you know, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade and violent rioters and mobbers and
00:29:14.820
marauders in this. Unless you can figure out, okay, we're going to go. It's a Republican. We're
00:29:19.160
going to infect them. Oh no, it's a Democrat. Hold off virus. Hold off fellow viruses. Unless it
00:29:23.760
can differentiate that way, then obviously this was never about public health. And de Blasio admits
00:29:28.240
it. He says, look, we got to cancel all the fun stuff that we all enjoy that's peaceful and lets
00:29:32.880
us live together. But this is a moment of historic change. What historic change? Oh, it's a power grab.
00:29:39.360
That's what I mean. Historic change. That's a code word for a leftist power grab. And so we're going to
00:29:45.000
exploit that. And they're not just doing it in New York and they're not just doing it in left-wing
00:29:52.720
states. They're doing it at the national level and they are explicitly threatening conservatives
00:29:58.660
with more violence. Explicit. If they don't win the election, we'll get, we'll get into those threats
00:30:05.300
because there's a new one that just came out in the Atlantic. They're all on board with this.
00:30:09.680
But first, this October, the Daily Wire God King, Jeremy Boring, is going to be presenting alongside
00:30:16.700
a group of incredibly successful business owners at Expert Ownership Live. That's another thing that
00:30:23.280
I'm always slightly interested in because, you know, look, I think about politics all the time.
00:30:27.100
I think about culture all the time. I don't think about business quite as much. You know,
00:30:30.400
we all kind of think about business just to get along, make some money. But there are people who
00:30:34.600
focus on business as their profession, as their area of expertise. This conference features a
00:30:40.120
lineup of speakers, including world-renowned leadership author John Maxwell, the founders
00:30:44.940
of Duck Commander and Otterbox, the Benham Brothers, many others who can relate to what entrepreneurs and
00:30:49.160
leaders are going through right now. They will share their stories about their own businesses and
00:30:53.180
startup journeys, the tough times that come along with all of those journeys inevitably, and how they
00:30:58.380
were able to come out even stronger on the other side. Obviously, we're all thinking about how to
00:31:03.660
keep our businesses afloat these days. The best part, if you go to expertownershiplive.com
00:31:08.020

What's that address? Expertownershiplive.com slash Knowles. And then head on over to The Daily
00:31:33.660
We are already in a constitutional crisis, and a lot of people don't know it yet. The
00:31:50.760
political operatives know it. The Joe Biden campaign knows it. Even the Republicans listening
00:31:56.320
to the Democratic campaigns know it. But a lot of people don't understand. They say,
00:32:00.100
oh, well, I hope everything goes well on election day. Oh, well, I hope we can, you know,
00:32:03.700
resolve this issue peacefully, even though they're already rioting, murderous Democrats around the
00:32:08.580
country, burning down the country. We're already in the constitutional crisis. The election is already
00:32:15.160
being contested. No one's cast a ballot yet, and it's already being contested. This is a pure power
00:32:22.080
play. Joe Biden, the campaign is now reportedly expanding its army of lawyers, election lawyers, experts
00:32:30.340
in preparation for the legal battle on election day. For those who are alive and conscious during the
00:32:36.880
2000 presidential election, Bush v. Gore, you will remember how many lawyers were brought in and litigated
00:32:42.900
that thing all the way up to the Supreme Court. What we're looking at right now in November could be
00:32:48.020
Bush v. Gore times 10, literally times 10, right? Could be in 10 different states. Could be in more
00:32:52.840
than 10 states. The same intensity that was focused on Florida, hanging chads, how the election should
00:33:00.780
be counted in Florida could be expanded to, I guess, every state in the country. Somebody tells me they're
00:33:06.840
not going to contest deep red or deep blue. Maybe they will. Maybe they will. Joe Biden already announced
00:33:13.000
this in July. He announced that he had hired 600 lawyers to contest the results of the election.
00:33:22.820
And on top of this, Hillary Clinton, the former future president, former Democratic nominee for
00:33:28.080
president, came out and said that Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances.
00:33:33.740
So we've got to have a massive legal operation. I know the Biden campaign is working on that.
00:33:41.460
We have to have poll workers. And I urge people who are able to be a poll worker. We have to have
00:33:51.800
our own teams of people to counter the force of intimidation that the Republicans and Trump
00:34:00.120
are going to put outside polling places. This is a big organizational challenge, but at least we know
00:34:06.920
more about what they're going to do. And, you know, Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances
00:34:14.160
because I think this is going to drag out. And eventually I do believe he will win if we don't
00:34:21.940
give an inch. If we steal the election, Joe Biden is going to win. That's what she's saying. I mean,
00:34:28.520
she's saying it as clearly as you possibly can. And the way she's doing it is the way the left always
00:34:33.820
does this, which is they say, Donald Trump is going to inspire violence. So we need to be really
00:34:40.380
violent. Donald Trump is going to steal the election. So we need to steal the election.
00:34:47.680
Donald Trump is not going to concede. So we need to not concede the election and steal it and hire a
00:34:54.520
bunch of lawyers. They're not saying we need to hire a bunch of get out the vote workers, saying we
00:34:58.620
need to hire a bunch of lawyers to steal the election. And yet for all the talk we've heard about how
00:35:04.380
Trump is an authoritarian, he's Hitler, he's the mango Mussolini, he's violent. What, what violence has
00:35:11.420
Trump kicked off, encouraged, condoned, celebrated? None, none. He's given us peace deals, historic peace
00:35:23.580
deals. As I speak, they're getting ready to sign two peace deals right across the street from me.
00:35:29.940
They've been signing them. We've had a decrease of tensions all around the world. We've had a
00:35:36.720
drawdown of troops. We've had a drawdown of wars, wars that Democrats ginned up. The reality of Trump is
00:35:45.120
he's been peaceful. Meanwhile, what have Democrats been doing? Openly encouraging violence in the streets.
00:35:52.060
We've been told that Trump is going to steal the election. How, pray tell, is Trump going to steal
00:35:56.400
the election? Hillary just said there is, they're going to be intimidating people outside of polling
00:36:01.180
places. Give me one example, one example of conservatives intimidating voters at polling
00:36:06.520
places. You can't. How about, how about examples on the other side? Well, uh, you had the black,
00:36:12.340
the black Panther party, the new black Panther party that was actively intimidating people outside of
00:36:18.320
polling stations in recent years. The media said, Oh no, forget about that. Don't, don't look,
00:36:22.220
don't look at that video. Don't look at those photos. That's not real. Obviously the Democrats
00:36:27.420
are intimidating people on how to vote right now. They're burning down the country and killing people
00:36:32.120
over through political violence and celebrating it. And Bill de Blasio is saying, yeah, that's okay.
00:36:36.460
No peaceful gatherings, but violent gatherings. Totally cool. Totally fine. Important, necessary,
00:36:40.380
historic change. Tell me how Trump is going to steal the election. No way. No, Trump has not said,
00:36:48.700
I'm not going to concede under any circumstances. The Democrats are the ones who are saying that.
00:36:52.800
And now we have the, the, the latest threat from the media, from the Atlantic. You'll remember we,
00:36:59.200
we saw the Atlantic on yesterday's show because the editor in chief of the Atlantic published absolute
00:37:04.660
trash using only anonymous sources to say that Trump hates the troops. I mean, it was,
00:37:09.640
it was a childish libel, childish calumny to come out and say, yeah, Trump said that troops are suckers
00:37:16.220
and they're losers and they're bad. And then coincidentally, just coincidentally, within hours
00:37:20.180
of the Atlantic story coming out, Democrats have all of these, all of these campaign commercials ready
00:37:24.880
to go. It's like, well, you might, you might think there could be some collusion there. Well,
00:37:28.260
now the, the wonderful esteemed Atlantic, which I used to read by, I used to actually get the Atlantic to
00:37:33.940
my door and read some of the articles. Now I like one writer at the Atlantic. There's one halfway decent
00:37:38.520
writer. She's actually a very good writer. The rest, complete trash. Shadi Hamid, the Democrats
00:37:46.320
may not be able to concede. If Trump wins, especially after losing the popular vote,
00:37:50.620
the left may draw the wrong conclusions. This is the era of expecting the worst while hoping for
00:37:55.820
the merely tolerable. And then they go on to whine about Trump and you know, how he's an awful,
00:37:59.780
terrible guy. And then you get to the meat of it in the second paragraph. Here's the bottom line.
00:38:05.100
A loss by Joe Biden under these circumstances is the worst case, not because Trump will destroy
00:38:10.700
America. He can't, but because it is the outcome most likely to undermine faith and democracy.
00:38:16.620
Is it now resulting in more of the social unrest and street battles that cities, including Portland,
00:38:23.840
Oregon, and Seattle have seen in recent months, by the way, not social unrest, just Democrats burning
00:38:29.520
it down and killing people. And then occasionally a Republican who's being chased down will, will
00:38:34.920
defend himself. And then that's called social unrest. Both sides doing it, right? Very fine
00:38:39.260
people on both sides. No, it's Democrats committing all of the unjustified violence.
00:38:46.180
And then the money line. For this reason, strictly law and order Republicans who have responded in dismay
00:38:52.260
to scenes of rioting and looting have an interest in Biden winning, even if they could never bring
00:38:58.000
themselves to vote for him. You got an interest. Did you know that? You, you conservative, you have
00:39:05.120
an interest in Joe Biden winning. You know why? Because if you don't let Joe Biden win, we're going
00:39:10.960
to kill you. That's what he's saying. That's what the Atlantic is saying. And that's what the Democrats
00:39:16.260
are saying. Joe Biden threatened it a little more subtly on Twitter or whatever campaign flack wrote it
00:39:21.560
for him on Twitter just a few months ago. He said, we can't take four more years of this,
00:39:25.820
all this violence. Okay. Well, stop being violent. Stop burning down the cities. Seems easy enough,
00:39:33.020
right? Oh no, you're, you're not going to stop burning it down until we give you what you want.
00:39:38.900
And if we don't give you what you want, you're going to attack our stores, steal our stuff,
00:39:45.020
burn down our cities, and maybe even kill us. So you got an interest. I don't think I have an
00:39:50.800
interest in Joe Biden winning. I don't think I want to live in a country where I can be extorted
00:39:56.000
like, like by the mob. I don't think that I have an interest in giving up all of my political power,
00:40:05.660
all of my constitutional rights, because I'm being threatened by people and they're threatening my
00:40:11.480
property and my life. I don't think I have an interest in that. I don't think any of us have an
00:40:15.740
interest in that. That's the threat. And that's the reality. They're doing it right now.
00:40:21.740
We've got to pay very close attention to the reality. I think this is finally breaking through
00:40:24.900
the polls, by the way. I think the, the riots have not played well in Peoria. And that's why
00:40:30.340
Joe Biden's numbers have gone down and Trump's numbers have gone up. And it's why the Democrats
00:40:34.540
aren't even pretending to be trying to win this thing fair and square anymore.
00:40:38.680
They're not even, they're not even talking about it. Now they're just talking about the violence.
00:40:43.880
Now they're just talking about the lawyers. Now they're just talking openly about stealing the
00:40:47.720
election. We're already in this constitutional crisis. Okay. And, and it doesn't, it doesn't
00:40:53.520
matter what kind of unjust mayhem the left is causing. And it doesn't even matter what kind of
00:40:58.340
great wins we're getting from Trump. Peace deals doesn't matter. Gavin Newsom, when he's begging for
00:41:03.380
federal aid has to kind of admit it, but the, the left liberal establishment doesn't. What's it all
00:41:09.680
about? It's because Trump is making changes that actually threaten the left. You know,
00:41:13.340
we talk about squishy Republicans, squishy conservatives, conservative, but not that
00:41:16.700
kind of conservative, right? And these are guys who play in to the liberal narrative. They play
00:41:22.480
their role as court jester in the kingdom of liberalism. And they say, I wish we could have
00:41:27.140
gotten more, but the culture moves to the left. Yeah, we've elected some Republicans, but we still
00:41:31.340
get cuties on Netflix and the fundamental redefinition of marriage and no threats to abortion
00:41:35.180
whatsoever. And now the undermining of sex itself and a rewriting of what biological sex
00:41:40.500
means in the civil rights act. And yeah, but look, it's just a shame. Just one more conservative
00:41:44.600
judge, just one more Republican president, then we'll get all the change. No, it's a fixed game.
00:41:49.960
And then Trump comes in and in a modest way, but a significant way, actually starts to threaten
00:41:55.560
things, actually starts to change things, actually starts to, to change the system of mass migration,
00:42:00.760
which is, is intended to fundamentally change the country by changing the people who vote and give the
00:42:06.920
Democrats a permanent super majority. So he gets a little win. I mean, this is, they hated Trump for
00:42:12.380
the immigration issue. Immigration, immigration reduction is a bipartisan issue. The majority of
00:42:17.720
Americans want to dramatically reduce, not just illegal immigration, but legal immigration. And they want
00:42:22.940
to reduce it by huge numbers, by 60%. This, this according to multiple surveys.
00:42:29.320
So why doesn't it get done? Why do we only get more and more and more and more mass migration?
00:42:36.400
Because the liberal state has a vested interest in flooding the country with people who are going
00:42:40.240
to be much more likely to vote for them. Trump just got a big win on immigration. That's why you
00:42:45.420
need more violence in the streets. That's why you got to steal the election. All the more important.
00:42:48.600
On Monday, the ninth circuit court of appeals used to be one of the most left-wing courts in the
00:42:52.740
country. Now it's actually somewhat conservative, thanks to the Republican victory.
00:42:56.420
They gave Trump a win. In a 2-1 ruling, they permitted Trump to terminate what's called the
00:43:04.580
temporary protected status designations of Sudan, Nicaragua, Haiti, and El Salvador.
00:43:11.520
Consider how far gone our political self-government is. When you have a program that was instituted years
00:43:19.200
ago to give temporary protected status to certain countries, meaning they can flood the country with
00:43:24.960
mass migration. And then the administration is not allowed to remove the temporary protected status.
00:43:31.540
Temporary seems to me like it's permanent protected status, which we have had effectively in this
00:43:37.240
country for the regime of mass migration. As just one example of how the left is illegitimately
00:43:42.580
trying to grab power and undermine self-government.
00:43:45.940
So you vote, you go out and vote, and you elect Trump. And Trump says, yeah, I'm going to reduce mass
00:43:50.340
migration. Then he goes in and he says, okay, well, how do we do it? Oh, there's this program called
00:43:53.780
the temporary mass migration program. So I guess we can just end that because it's temporary.
00:43:58.020
Oh no, we can't. We can't because a court ruled that he's not allowed to overturn the temporary
00:44:02.540
program. But now the court of appeals has ruled that he can. Presumably this will be litigated all the
00:44:08.440
way up to the top. That is the kind of political stakes that we're at. That is a crisis, a constitutional
00:44:18.580
crisis. What happens in November is going to happen. What's going to happen is on election night, Trump
00:44:25.740
is going to win, I think, by a lot. And then the left is going to say, nope, doesn't count.
00:44:30.640
Got to wait for those mail-ins to come in. And then they're going to go and they're going to write
00:44:34.240
as many mail-in ballots as they need to make sure that Trump loses. And if for some reason,
00:44:39.680
if by some fluke that doesn't work, they're just going to keep burning down the country. That's the
00:44:46.980
threat. Headline of the Atlantic. The Democrats may not be able to concede. No, they can. They're able.
00:44:52.960
They're able to concede, but they're not going to do it. And the leaders of the party are telling them
00:44:59.760
not to do it. That is a constitutional crisis. That is the normalization, the professionalization
00:45:08.620
of political violence. Meanwhile, President Peace Prize is just going over there, signing one peace
00:45:14.400
deal after another, happening across the street as we speak. What kind of country do you want to live in?
00:45:20.480
Unfortunately, it might be too late to even have a choice. We'll keep on swinging. We'll keep on
00:45:24.160
fighting. But know that we are heading into a political battle, the likes of which we haven't seen in
00:45:29.200
this country, maybe for over a century. On that gleeful note, I'm going to go enjoy this day of peace
00:45:34.720
deals. We're going to go do a couple episodes of the Verdict podcast on this very topic. And then I will
00:45:40.640

Hey everyone, it's Andrew Klavan, host of The Andrew Klavan Show. Joe Biden was turned into a
00:46:44.020
jack-in-the-box with a Biden head yesterday and wished into the cornfield where he made one of the
00:46:48.600
stupidest, most dishonest speeches of his career, and the press loved it. We are all living in the
00:46:54.540
Twilight Zone. I'll talk about it on The Andrew Klavan Show.
