Summary

Trump's approval rating has surged to the highest level of the year, and he's doing so among groups that the Democrats have traditionally relied on to keep them in check. Plus, a new poll shows that 45% of gay men are voting for Trump.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 President Trump is beating Joe Biden for the first time in a major poll that's coming out
00:00:05.760 from Rasmussen. Rasmussen does weekly surveys, found out that President Trump is now getting
00:00:12.900 47% of the respondents' support compared to Joe Biden at just 46%. And President Trump's
00:00:19.860 approval rating among respondents has surged to the highest level this year. Additionally,
00:00:26.000 on top of that, according to the Washington Examiner, that approval rating is at 52%.
00:00:32.240 Why is it? Because you can only ignore the president's competence for so long.
00:00:35.780 You can only ignore the Democrats' incompetence for so long. This is making headway not just among
00:00:41.200 more voters than Biden's voters, not just among a slim majority of Americans. This is making inroads,
00:00:47.660 most notably among groups that the Democrats have taken for granted. I'm Michael Knowles.
00:00:52.700 This is the Michael Knowles Show.
00:00:56.000 Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment from yesterday is from Frosted Ice Pharaoh.
00:01:07.900 It says, yesterday, Trump was questioned about not being presidential. If he was presidential,
00:01:13.280 he would not be making Middle East peace deals. That's true. If you really want to be presidential,
00:01:17.800 then you've got to just start a whole bunch of wars in the Middle East. Why? I don't know. We can
00:01:22.380 probably tell you why. But this is a big divide. And actually, it's on this issue of Middle East peace
00:01:26.940 that the competence of Trump and the incompetence of the Democrats is really clear because there have
00:01:33.860 been a lot of promises made by top Democratic establishment politicians, and Trump just proved
00:01:39.520 them all wrong. We'll get to that in one second. First, got to thank our friends over at Ring,

00:02:57.960 Not just that President Trump is making inroads, you know, among the small majority of the electorate
00:03:03.660 or, you know, more voters than Biden. He's doing well with groups that the Democrats have
00:03:08.840 typically relied on. Groups, identity groups that Democrats usually take for granted. Most notably
00:03:15.220 in recent days, among gay guys. Yes, that's right. The homosexual population of the, of the electorate
00:03:23.460 tends to be taken for granted by the Democrats. And yet, according to polling from a queer dating app,
00:03:29.840 right now it looks as though 45% of queer American men, now don't cancel me for saying that. That's
00:03:37.820 their word. I don't know what word I'm supposed to use. They change the words every day. But 45%
00:03:42.540 of queer American men are backing President Donald Trump. And this is considered a very queer fact
00:03:48.480 because Democrats always believe that they're supposed to get 100% of the gay guys. The app is
00:03:54.380 called Hornet. And, uh, uh, 45% of them are going to vote. Uh, this is a, of the 1200 queer American
00:04:01.120 male respondents say they're going to vote for Trump. Uh, how did they get to this? 10,000 men
00:04:07.640 were surveyed by the app. 12% identified as U S citizens. 51% said they'd be vote of those men said
00:04:13.320 they'd be voting for Biden and 45% for Trump. So it's very, very close, even among gay men. And by the
00:04:19.600 way, these are just the gay men who are on these apps, presumably the more bourgeois stayed, you know,
00:04:25.320 calm gay men who are not on these apps. Presumably they're even more conservative than all that.
00:04:30.740 So why, why is it? Why is President Trump gaining momentum? He's gaining momentum because Joe Biden
00:04:38.440 is wrong about everything and his views are unpopular. Simple as that, right? Because he's
00:04:43.660 gotten things wrong with one or two exceptions for 50 years, a huge political career and his views
00:04:51.960 that even if they were at one time popular are no longer popular. One example of this,
00:04:57.180 just one simple example, but it's a central one right now is China. China has not only destroyed
00:05:02.840 the global economy because of the pandemic that they lied about, but China also has helped to destroy
00:05:07.840 the American economy by stealing our jobs. And they did, they, you can't even say that they stole the jobs
00:05:12.940 because a lot of American politicians in both parties decided to outsource them. This was
00:05:17.260 considered to be a wonderful thing because GDP might tick up a little bit and who cares if whole
00:05:21.240 towns of people are going to die of opioid overdoses and suicides, that's not a big deal because at least
00:05:26.560 we can get slightly cheaper consumer goods. The view that was held by the democratic party and by,
00:05:32.760 I guess what you would call establishment Republicans, the total unfettered free trader Republicans
00:05:38.260 was this is a good thing. A rising China is good for everybody. Yeah, they might poison the whole
00:05:44.620 world with a plague and shut down the entire economy, but you know, generally speaking,
00:05:48.100 it's a good thing. And this was the view explicitly held by Joe Biden.
00:05:52.140 There was a debate here in the United States and quite frankly, throughout most of the West is whether
00:05:56.060 a rising China was in the interest of the United States and the wider world.
00:06:01.060 As a young member of the foreign relations committee, I wrote and I said, and I believe
00:06:06.060 then what I believe now, that a rising China is a positive, positive development, not only for China,
00:06:13.960 but for America and the world writ large. Unambiguous. I know that clip wasn't so long ago,
00:06:20.760 but I know it's a little jarring to hear Joe Biden speak clearly. So odd how his childhood stutter
00:06:26.600 that we've heard so much about in this election campaign obviously wasn't there in the clip because
00:06:31.220 even just a few years ago, Joe Biden was much more with it than he is today. He was with it.
00:06:36.540 He was just wrong about everything, notably about China, but we can clearly see what his views were.
00:06:42.280 He's wrong about other very popular issues. Charter schools, charter schools, school choice,
00:06:47.600 give students, particularly underprivileged students, particularly racial minority students,
00:06:53.800 particularly students in the inner cities. Basically charter schools, give them their only chance
00:06:59.280 to get a better life, to break out of cycles of poverty and misfortune. And Joe Biden and the
00:07:07.040 democratic establishment opposes it. And why does Joe Biden oppose school choice? I sat down yesterday
00:07:12.580 with education secretary, Betsy DeVos and Senator Cruz for our show verdict. We talked a lot about this
00:07:18.200 issue that will be coming out very soon, but the long and long and short of it is Democrats oppose
00:07:24.120 school choice because they're bought off by the teachers unions and the teachers unions don't want
00:07:28.780 that because it threatens their job. Even if they're very poor teachers, even if those students are failing,
00:07:34.140 even if the schools are completely underperforming, the teachers unions still want to get theirs.
00:07:38.760 So they've made this unholy alliance with the democratic party. Joe Biden puts it in no uncertain terms.
00:07:43.180 He does not want poor kids. He does not want kids in bad school districts to be able to get a good
00:07:48.680 education. I will not, there will not be no federal dollars. I'm not Betsy DeVos, nor will my,
00:07:55.320 my sector of education be anything like her in terms of her attitudes about public schools.
00:08:01.340 No privately funded charter school would receive or private charter school receive a penny of federal
00:08:08.860 money. None. And any charter school that in fact is worthy of being able to be in education would have
00:08:18.440 to be accountable to the same exact school boards, the same exact mechanisms that the public school
00:08:26.260 is accountable to. Across the board, there has to be transparency. And a lot of these charter schools
00:08:32.520 are significantly underperforming. Significantly. I can see where you can have a school, for example,
00:08:40.180 a specialty school on the, on the arts or, or for music or for, but if you're going to have a charter
00:08:46.080 school, it cannot come at the expense of the public school. So everything he's saying is just complete
00:08:54.320 nonsense. It doesn't make, it doesn't mean anything. He's saying that the charter schools are
00:08:58.800 underperforming. That's simply not true. Just, just the example of last year, New York city,
00:09:03.760 which is a very important place for charter schools, the students in public schools underperformed
00:09:09.120 the students in the charter schools and, and pretty significantly. And we're talking about public
00:09:13.800 dollars and private dollars. A lot of these schools were started with private dollars. And then you've
00:09:19.640 got programs that can transfer some public money. They're going to the failing schools and get those
00:09:23.980 students to go to the decent schools in New York. You got tens of thousands of students on that wait list
00:09:28.640 for charter schools. Why? Because of course everyone wants to get into the good schools.
00:09:33.280 And what's the rub here? Public schools could lose a billion dollars if those students
00:09:37.080 transferred. So a lot of money on the line, Joe Biden took that side, but across the aisle,
00:09:42.860 including groups that Democrats take for, for granted, uh, charter schools, very popular.
00:09:48.460 It's even beyond Biden. Don't forget Biden is nobody. Biden is an empty suit. He blows around in the
00:09:54.020 wind. Now he probably doesn't even know which way the wind is blowing. He is a symbol of the
00:09:59.460 democratic establishment. Yesterday he forgot who was at the top of the ticket. He referred to the
00:10:03.960 Harris Biden ticket as though Kamala Harris were going to be the president. Joe Biden's going to
00:10:08.200 be the vice president. He's just a vessel for, for democratic policies. How those policies play out
00:10:13.480 very poorly. We saw two days ago and historic peace deal in DC. I was sitting directly across the
00:10:20.260 street from the white house. When that was signed, I was in the hotel with the Israeli and the Bahraini
00:10:24.580 delegation. It was pretty weird, man. We've been told that middle East peace is a pipe dream. Now
00:10:31.060 we're looking at peace deals, not just with Israel and Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, but it
00:10:35.500 could include as many as nine additional nations, including Saudi Arabia, who's the big dog in the
00:10:40.100 region. And why did this happen? Because Donald Trump bucked the establishment foreign policy
00:10:45.720 trend, specifically the democratic foreign policy establishment trend, even though the last
00:10:51.020 democratic secretary of state, John Kerry told us that kind of a peace deal, a peace deal that dealt
00:10:57.020 with the Arab nations before dealing with the so-called Palestinian state. It's not a state,
00:11:02.980 but the Palestinian issue in Israel, John Kerry said that would be absolutely impossible until it was
00:11:10.300 possible. There will be no separate peace between Israel and the Arab world. I want to make that very
00:11:17.460 clear to all of you. I've heard several prominent politicians in Israel sometimes saying, well, the
00:11:25.460 Arab world's in a different place now. We just have to reach out to them and we can work some things
00:11:29.860 with the Arab world and we'll deal with the Palestinians. No, no, no, and no. I can tell you that
00:11:37.800 reaffirmed even in the last week, as I have talked to leaders of the Arab community, there will be no
00:11:43.280 advance and separate peace with the Arab world without the Palestinian process and Palestinian
00:11:49.740 peace. Everybody needs to understand that. That is a hard reality. I love how these democratic
00:11:57.620 politicians who are 100% wrong on these issues, Joe Biden on China, John Kerry on the Middle East,
00:12:03.720 make themselves so clear so that we can just go back and see how wrong they were. In John Kerry's
00:12:09.360 best Thurston Howell, the third voice, he goes, let me tell you something, Teresa. Let me tell you
00:12:15.200 something, loveys. You will not get any Middle East peace. You will not. I promise you, I stake all of
00:12:22.000 my money on the line. Oh, what was that? You said, well, hold on. He, oh, he got a middle. Oh,
00:12:26.140 uh-oh, uh-oh. Very bad news for Democrats because they've been wrong now explicitly for a very long
00:12:33.580 time on important security measures. Speaking of security measures, you got to get LifeLock.
00:12:38.840 How's that for a segue? LifeLock. You've got to protect yourself when you are on the internet.
00:12:44.100 I know you don't think about it. I didn't used to think about it very much. You open up your computer,
00:12:48.440 you open up your phone, you say, oh, it doesn't matter. Who's trying to get my data?
00:12:51.380 You are wide open. You are vulnerable to bad actors. Since the start of this pandemic,
00:12:56.140 there have been a 300% increase in cybercrime activity. Hackers are becoming more sophisticated
00:13:02.180 in taking advantage of teleconference accounts. They are then using those to pawn information like
00:13:09.360 your emails, like your passwords. Obviously, when the lockdown happened and we all start going on the
00:13:16.540 internet for work, for school, the hackers started going on the internet more too. They know where
00:13:21.980 you are and they realize that you're now much more vulnerable. You could miss certain identity
00:13:26.380 threats by just monitoring your credit. Good thing there is LifeLock, which detects a wide range of
00:13:32.180 identity threats, including your social security number for sale on the dark web. No one can prevent
00:13:37.620 all identity theft or monitor all transactions, obviously, but you can find out if your information

00:14:04.600 worth a pound of cure. I really trust these guys. Head on over there right now. So they get this stuff
00:14:10.820 totally wrong on the Democratic side of the aisle. What does the press do? They ignore it. I mean,
00:14:17.280 specifically on this issue, John Kerry, Obama's secretary of state says it is not possible to
00:14:21.740 get this Middle East peace deal. Trump does it in his first term. That was at the end of the second
00:14:27.260 Obama term that Kerry said that Trump gets it within the first term. Do the press ask questions about
00:14:32.440 that? No, because they don't want to cover it. They just want to downplay it. And thankfully,
00:14:36.600 our wonderful press secretary, be still my beating heart, Kayleigh McEnany comes out and right as she's
00:14:44.760 about to leave the stage, she rips him for it. What I will weigh into is the Middle East Peel.
00:14:50.500 The Middle East peace deal signed yesterday that I did not receive a single question about. That was
00:14:56.160 the first time it's happened in a quarter of a century. If Obama and Biden had achieved this,
00:15:00.940 they would look a lot different. You wouldn't have Chuck Todd saying he's uncomfortable with the deal.
00:15:06.160 That brings peace between the United Arab Emirates and Israel and Bahrain. You wouldn't have CBS
00:15:12.340 calling it, quote, a business deal. And you wouldn't have Nancy Pelosi calling it a distraction.
00:15:17.760 Maybe it's a distraction from her visits to the hair salon. But those were significant agreements.
00:15:22.460 First time in a quarter of a century, three peace deals in 29 days took 26 years for the prior two
00:15:28.740 peace deals. So this the Nobel Peace Prize nomination for the president, two of them very well
00:15:34.400 deserved. Thank you. Kayleigh, if he's a law and order president, why does he keep breaking the law?
00:15:40.560 Kayleigh, no, stop it. Stop it. Stop hurting me, Kayleigh. I can't take it. I love how she does this
00:15:45.600 because it's not just that she goes out and smacks the press. She lures them in. But she does this
00:15:51.320 whole press conference. She's waiting for them. Just OK. I know she knew that they're not going to ask
00:15:56.920 any question about this historic peace deal. This peace deal that Trump brokered, that was the first
00:16:03.380 normalization of relationships between Israel and an Arab nation in 26 years. Last time was 94. The
00:16:11.540 time before that was 78. You'd think it'd be big news, right? They won't ask. So she waits. And then
00:16:17.620 the very last point, she goes, OK, and before I leave, you all are a bunch of total hacks. You won't cover
00:16:24.280 this because you're nothing but Democratic propagandists. OK, good night. See ya. And then
00:16:28.600 what? The best they can muster is, Kayleigh, he's mean. I don't like the orange man. So the left has
00:16:34.700 to ignore these big news stories, ignore how wrong their politicians have been, how shockingly correct
00:16:41.720 Trump has been. But then they've got to go a little further than that. They've got to censor him. So
00:16:45.640 Facebook right now, Facebook, which is just another aspect of this liberal establishment,
00:16:50.620 Facebook censors a, it's not a Trump campaign ad, but it's an ad affiliated with
00:16:57.600 the Trump election. It's a pro Trump ad, an anti Biden ad about how Joe Biden is going to raise
00:17:03.960 your taxes. Joe Biden has been promising explicitly throughout this campaign that he will raise your
00:17:10.980 taxes. He's bragged about this. We have him on videotape talking about this. So this anti Biden ad
00:17:17.080 just puts Joe Biden's own words on the air and Facebook censors it because they say that it's
00:17:23.360 misleading. Take a listen. Sometimes politicians accidentally tell the truth. Guess what? If you
00:17:29.420 elect me, I'm not going to have you. Your taxes are going to be raised, not cut. And it's true.
00:17:33.500 The New York Times says Biden's tax increases are more than double Hillary Clinton's plan.
00:17:38.680 Even the tax policy center admits taxes would increase on all income groups. If you elect me,
00:17:43.980 I'm not going to have you. Your taxes are going to be raised, not cut. Big tax increases crushing
00:17:48.460 our recovery. It could go higher. America first action is responsible for the content of this
00:17:53.300 advertising. So that is absolutely not permitted on Facebook because then we'd have to listen to
00:18:01.760 what Joe Biden's actually saying. And that would be even less popular than the current propaganda
00:18:07.260 around Joe Biden. So that's got to be censored. Now, do you remember, do you remember just,
00:18:13.040 this was just a couple of weeks ago, Joe Biden ran an ad that said that Donald Trump called neo-Nazis
00:18:20.220 very fine people at Charlottesville. Now we know that isn't true. We've played the clip many times.
00:18:24.780 We've read the transcript many times. He didn't do it. He explicitly said, I'm not talking about neo-Nazis
00:18:30.400 and white supremacists who should be condemned totally. Joe Biden launched his campaign on this
00:18:34.660 lie. It was the very first thing in the very first ad that Joe Biden ran on. And he's been running on
00:18:40.060 it, uh, throughout the campaign. Another lie that he's been running on is that Donald Trump hates
00:18:46.600 the soldiers and he, he's been deriding, uh, dead soldiers, fallen heroes overseas. This is based on
00:18:54.940 nothing. It's based on an Atlantic report from four anonymous sources that was then quote unquote
00:19:01.920 confirmed by an anonymous source, but you can't confirm a report with an anonymous source.
00:19:05.700 Countering that we have 21 people on the record saying it didn't happen. That ad perfectly fine
00:19:12.060 on social media because that ad hits Donald Trump based on lies, based on nothing. That one's okay.
00:19:18.960 But a video simply playing Joe Biden's own words gets censored. We're not even in November yet.
00:19:26.420 We're not even in October yet. This is only going to get much, much worse. The Democrats only chance
00:19:31.480 at this point with all the momentum going for Trump, even after they killed the economy with
00:19:35.660 this stupid lockdown, even with all of that, Trump still has the momentum in his favor. So
00:19:41.540 what are they going to do? They're going to try to steal the election. We're already seeing a lot
00:19:45.440 of evidence and fraud yet again in New Jersey. We will get to that in one second. First got to thank
00:19:50.280 our friends over at Raycon. I highly recommend wireless earbuds from Raycon. Raycon's newest model,
00:19:56.640 the everyday E25 earbuds are their best ones yet with six hours of playtime, seamless Bluetooth
00:20:03.480 pairing, more base, a more compact design, a noise isolating fit. Raycon earbuds are stylish and
00:20:10.740 discreet. No dangling wires, no stems like some others. You know, I was given a pair of another kind
00:20:17.440 of wireless earbud and, you know, I tried it around, tried it around for a little bit of time
00:20:21.460 and it's not as good. I won't get into exactly why. Look, I don't want to make this some kind of,

00:20:58.760 Knowles, K-N-W-L-E-S. County officials in New Jersey have tallied up more than 1,600
00:21:07.020 uncounted ballots from the state's July primary after finding them in some mislabeled bin last Thursday.
00:21:16.160 That's so weird. Ah, gosh, what are the odds that you'd lose 1,600 ballots for a state primary?
00:21:23.820 It's just in a bin. It's in the wrong bin. It was in a secure area though in the county election office,
00:21:29.900 according to the New Jersey Herald. And listen, they're not going to change the results
00:21:34.840 of the July 7th primary race. The board of elections is confident that all ballots received
00:21:42.040 have been processed and the security of all ballots has remained in place. Now we know that in New
00:21:46.640 Jersey just this year, we found out there was a huge voter fraud scheme, another voter fraud scheme
00:21:51.420 to steal an election. We know now that in my own town or my town for right now, Los Angeles,
00:21:59.380 when you get a mail-in ballot, your party identification is on the outside of the envelope.
00:22:04.560 Isn't that a little weird? What happened to our secret ballot? Why is that party identification
00:22:09.240 on the outside of the envelope? Do you think that some of those ballots might end up mislabeled in
00:22:13.340 a bin somewhere? Yeah, probably. Sometimes the left says that there's no evidence of widespread
00:22:19.100 mail-in voter fraud. The reason that that, it's sort of true, it's sort of not true. The reason it's
00:22:25.680 even plausibly true is we don't have widespread mail-in ballots yet. We've never had them before
00:22:31.080 until this year when the left pushed them. We can point to lots and lots of examples of voter
00:22:36.120 fraud, specifically with mail-in. We have an election day for a reason. We have ballot security
00:22:41.140 for a reason. We try to have voter ID for a reason. The Democrats oppose that because they want people
00:22:45.980 who should not be allowed to vote to vote so that they can steal elections because they can't win
00:22:51.380 elections because they have very bad and unpopular ideas. So they are out now trying, they're trying to
00:22:56.060 steal it through censorship. They're trying to steal it through journalistic neglect. And now they're
00:23:00.400 trying to steal it at the ballot box as well, which brings me to a video that I really enjoyed
00:23:05.520 seeing from a Target. And this is a Target shopping center, not like a Target, like pew pew.
00:23:13.400 This scene that came from Target gave me a lot of hope. I know some conservatives are reacting to it
00:23:19.360 in a negative way, but I think they're missing the point here. There was a flash mob that showed up to
00:23:24.280 a Target. They walked in, they put on a little bit of music, then they took all their masks off and
00:23:29.660 started shopping. It was a big stunt to say, hey, everybody take these, these muzzles off of your
00:23:34.940 face. And I'm not saying that we should always flout rules and regulations, but sometimes we most
00:23:42.080 certainly should. Take a listen. All right, hit it.
00:23:47.280 Here they are. We got some cameras out, got some phones out, got a MAGA hat right there.
00:23:52.700 We're tired. All with their masks, and then they take them off.
00:23:55.980 And now we're taking the masks off because we're done with it.
00:24:01.420 Take your masks off.
00:24:04.040 Take them off.
00:24:07.460 All right, now they're doing this outrageous act of shopping.
00:24:13.980 If they were Democrats, they would be looting, but they're not looting.
00:24:16.740 They're Republicans, so they're shopping. And this is considered dangerous, terrible, violent
00:24:22.680 against the public health.
00:24:26.120 All of the looting and rioting that we've seen for the last six months by Democrats, that
00:24:31.460 was peaceful, mostly peaceful, fiery, but peaceful.
00:24:36.760 But this, these Republicans of all shapes and sizes, all shades, everybody, they're considered
00:24:45.040 a threat because they're happily taking muzzles off of their face. There are some conservatives
00:24:49.620 who say, we must respect the rule of law. We must respect all of these rules. First of
00:24:55.260 all, I don't think that a lot of these mask mandates necessarily qualify as the rule of
00:24:59.620 law. I don't think a lot of these lockdowns necessarily qualify as the rule of law or constitutional
00:25:04.920 even.
00:25:07.900 What we're looking at right now is a situation where the left is not playing by the rules that
00:25:13.580 they want us to play by. And when you want rule of law, when you want order in a country,
00:25:19.080 you all need to play by the rules. If half of the country with most of the political power
00:25:24.900 is not playing by those rules, then you certainly should not play by those rules. And when we're
00:25:31.080 getting into these issues of muzzling yourself wherever you go or of not being able to go to
00:25:36.560 church, for goodness sakes, now you're in an area where a little bit of orderly, clever,
00:25:42.640 humorous resistance is not only permissible, but it's absolutely called for. Something has
00:25:49.020 gone really, really wrong with the left establishment, the Democrats, the media,
00:25:53.160 attack all of this in this country, when prominent Hollywood leftists even are admitting that something's
00:25:59.020 gone wrong. Judd Apatow, no conservative, no rock-ribbed Republican, no Trumper has come out
00:26:05.740 and he said that Hollywood has sold its soul to China. We'll get to that in one second. First,
00:26:11.300 I got to thank our friends over at Iro. You know, especially when you're on the internet all the time
00:26:17.880 these days and maybe when you're working from home or doing school from home, you've got that great
00:26:23.100 strong internet everywhere in your house except, you know, one of those places. Sometimes you got
00:26:28.720 these dead spots. You've got that one, no, I hate when I, when my internet goes out, it happens a lot
00:26:33.300 or it did until Iro, an Amazon company, covers your whole home with fast, reliable Wi-Fi inside
00:26:39.780 and out. And this is very important because I know a sweet little Elisa, before, before Iro came on,
00:26:45.200 she was complaining about this kind of thing. Well, we can't get the internet over here. We can't get
00:26:48.380 the internet. Iro makes every square foot of your house usable by eliminating poor coverage and dead
00:26:52.960 spots. You'll have a consistently strong signal wherever you need it. Iro is fast, easy to set up,

00:27:39.200 Even Judd Apatow, Hollywood left winger, comes out and he says, something's gone really wrong here.
00:27:46.220 Even we Hollywood left wingers have to, in some way, censor ourselves because this liberal
00:27:52.380 establishment has sold itself out to China. For me, I think what I, what I perceive as more
00:27:59.440 chilling is a corporate type of censorship that people don't really notice, which is a lot of
00:28:05.260 these giant corporate entities have business with, you know, countries around the world, Saudi Arabia
00:28:11.220 or China, and they're just not going to criticize them. And they're not going to let their shows
00:28:15.500 criticize them, or they're not going to air documentaries that go deep into truthful areas
00:28:19.940 because they just make so much money. So while we're all going, you know, can we say this joke
00:28:24.380 or not say that joke? On a much bigger level, they have just completely shut down critical
00:28:31.500 content about human rights abuses in China. And I think that's much scarier.
00:28:39.080 He makes a great point. That's obviously happening. I mean, specifically with regard to China,
00:28:43.460 you can point to the movies, you can point to the scenes. This, this, uh, new version of Top
00:28:48.100 Gun explicitly is taking the flags of China's enemies off of it and just trying to appease
00:28:53.500 them. But it's happened in a lot of movies as well. So you got this problem at the, what
00:28:57.960 you would call the corporate level, right? It's not just the political level. It's the, at the
00:29:00.980 corporate level. And it's not even just that kind of cynicism. It's at the, the ideological
00:29:05.140 level too. There was this piece I mentioned it, I think yesterday on the show from
00:29:08.920 vox.com that it says how Beethoven's fifth symphony put the classes, the classism in classical
00:29:19.800 music. Beethoven's most famous work changed the way we listen and how we're supposed to
00:29:27.000 listen. And it's a long, uh, meandering read about how for people in some groups, women,
00:29:36.620 LGBTQ plus people, people of color, Beethoven symphony may be predominantly a reminder of
00:29:43.660 classical music's history of exclusion and elitism. They're now trying to cancel Beethoven's
00:29:49.800 most famous, famous work. You know, it's the one that goes, dah, dah, dah, dah. They're
00:29:55.480 trying to cancel that because, because why? Because of classism? No, because they want to cancel
00:30:01.500 culture. We hear about cancel culture. Well, what is cancel culture about? It's about canceling
00:30:05.780 culture. And that is deeply unpopular. I mean, that's a, that is a, just one example
00:30:11.660 and one symbol of, of what the left is doing. They are trying to destroy every single thing
00:30:17.360 we cherish in this civilization because their view is that the civilization is rotten to the
00:30:21.680 core and we need to deconstruct it or dismantle it or destroy it or the, whatever term that they
00:30:28.460 use of the day. And they want to replace it with something else, either their own unfettered
00:30:33.440 imagination or instrumentally some aspect of some other culture that we don't particularly
00:30:37.160 cherish because it's not from our civilization. And it, it's a seen as in opposition to the
00:30:43.660 things we hold dear at all of these levels. That is not a recipe for popularity. And so
00:30:48.900 the only way that the left can win people over to their side is by taking them, by stealing
00:30:55.000 these things, by cooking the books. That's what they're trying to do with this election.
00:30:58.480 We've got to get to the mailbag first, though. I do want to mention that there is a news story
00:31:02.980 came out a couple of days ago, right when I was about to go on the air to cover president
00:31:07.820 Trump's town hall, which is that the daily wire is moving to Nashville. Can't you just
00:31:13.100 see me as a southerner? Howdy yeehaw. I love Nashville. When I moved from New York to LA,
00:31:20.040 the only town that I spent an extra night in was Nashville. It's a great town. So we're very
00:31:24.880 excited. I like LA too, but, but LA has become basically unlivable. They're, they're killing
00:31:30.840 companies here. They're putting outrageous, onerous restrictions on everything. Often they won't
00:31:36.460 even let you go to the park or to the beach because of their tyrannical flexes of power.
00:31:41.220 The town has now been overrun by crime and homelessness. The mayor here, absolutely failed
00:31:47.880 mayor, Eric Garcetti passed a zillion dollar bond. I think it was over a billion dollar bond
00:31:52.460 to fight homelessness. And what happened? Homelessness spiked in LA County, 12% in one
00:31:56.680 year in the city, 16% in one year. They've taken over huge parks, some of the nicest neighborhoods,
00:32:02.260 many, many city blocks. You just can't do it. And now the state government wants to come in
00:32:06.500 and steal everybody's money and stop us all from doing business. So you got to leave at a certain
00:32:11.080 point. You can't take it anymore. I do want to point out though, that while Tennessee is a great red
00:32:16.540 state, the governor very kindly welcomed us. Some members of Congress in Tennessee welcomed us,
00:32:22.340 coming there. A lot of wonderful people in Nashville have welcomed us. There is a one
00:32:27.100 author from, I guess the left wing paper in Nashville, Stephen Hale from the Nashville scene.
00:32:32.820 He, uh, see, I guess I'll censor this with my own, with my thumb here. Uh, a hole moving to town,
00:32:39.500 Ben Shapiro announced he and the daily wire coming to Nashville. Thanks. We hate it. And then,
00:32:43.920 you know, he calls us all sorts of names and everything. All I can say to that, uh, as we get ready to
00:32:48.480 make this move is see you soon, neighbor. Can't wait. Uh, can't wait to see you there in Nashville.
00:32:54.940 Uh, we're going to have a great time. Lots and lots of changes. Don't forget, as we look at all
00:32:59.820 this madness around us, people can despair. They say, oh my gosh, they're taking away all of our
00:33:05.740 rights. They're taking away our ability to go to church. They're taking away all these wonderful
00:33:10.780 things that we hold dear, our education, our statues, our traditions. Sure. True. I don't mean to
00:33:16.100 underplay that at all, but chaos can breed opportunity if you know how to play it.
00:33:20.960 And that's how conservatives should be looking to do these things because you know, the, the world is
00:33:25.660 all going to go up in flames eventually, but, but what can we do in the meantime to try to make it
00:33:30.980 work, try to make it just a little bit better? How can you make your sleep a little bit better?
00:33:35.280 Well, you can get my pillow. That's how that is. And that's how you do a segue. Mike Lindell,
00:33:40.300 you know, Mike Lindell, he's one of the most famous conservatives in America. He is the inventor of
00:33:44.220 my pillow. Mike's latest deal is on his Giza dreams sheets, which are made from the world's
00:33:50.180 best cotton Giza. They are extremely soft and breathable. They're extremely durable right now.
00:33:56.000 The Giza dream sheet are a two for one. So you'll get two for one incredibly low price plus free
00:34:02.840 shipping with promo code daily wire. And there's actually a funny story with two for one because
00:34:06.380 I've been a huge fan of Mike Lindell for a long time. And then my pillow decides they're going to
00:34:10.740 come on the show. So I say, okay, that's great. They say, we're going to send you a pillow. I said,
00:34:13.780 oh, go look forward to that. You know, I'd heard my pillows, best pillow out there.
00:34:16.860 So I, but we only got one pillow. So they give us one pillow. I try it out. This is the best pillow
00:34:22.840 I've ever used, but by far, it's not even close. Uh, trouble is now sweet little Lisa wants to use
00:34:27.900 the, my pillow. So now I'm just going to have to go online and buy another, my pillow and I'll gladly do
00:34:32.560 it. I don't even care that I'm not getting two for one. I'll do one for one. It's that good.
00:34:36.080 And all my pillow products come with a 60 day money back guarantee. Uh, really tremendous stuff.
00:34:41.780 They also have mattress toppers. They got all, all sorts of great stuff. All my pillow products

00:35:03.920 for those great radio specials. All right. We are getting in to the mailbag. Uh, don't forget
00:35:11.320 by on September 28th, we're going to start broadcasting this show on the Michael Knowles
00:35:14.900 show YouTube channel rather than the daily wire channel. So make sure you subscribe to the Michael
00:35:18.720 Knowles show YouTube channel. Uh, and we will get into the mailbag. Stick around. We'll be right back.
00:35:33.920 First question from Carter. Michael, over the weekend, I watched the Godfather and the Godfather
00:35:40.560 part two for the first time. I thought they were terrific. And I wanted to say that you were amazing
00:35:45.120 as Michael Corleone. You haven't aged a bit in your opinion. Should I watch the Godfather part three?
00:35:50.980 I've heard it is not as good, but wanted your opinion. Thanks. You want to know something?
00:35:55.120 I've seen the Godfather part one. I don't know, 50 times. I've seen the Godfather part two. I don't
00:36:01.040 know, 50 times. I've never seen part three. I haven't wanted to do it. You've got two of the
00:36:07.140 greatest movies ever made. And then part three, they, they say it's not great. So I haven't seen
00:36:13.940 it yet. And I don't intend to, if you see it, let me know. But I don't, I'm, I'm so deeply in love
00:36:19.580 with the Godfather films that I don't want something to be less than wonderful. So I'm going to reverse
00:36:24.700 this. You tell me if I should watch it. And then maybe I will because just, just when I think I'm
00:36:30.800 out, they pull me back in from anonymous, dear Michael in my early twenties. And for the past
00:36:36.640 couple of years, I've been occasionally, but intensely drawn to Christianity, right? I've been
00:36:41.960 slowly reading the gospels and find that many of the ways I see the world are just clicking into place.
00:36:47.780 However, I'm fiercely proud of my Jewish identity, the state of Israel and love celebrating the major
00:36:53.860 Jewish holidays. Not to mention there is not one non-Jew in my entire immediate or extended family.
00:36:59.020 So I feel incredibly conflicted about potentially betraying them if I ever decided to leave. What
00:37:03.360 do I do? Thank you. Well, I can name some other prominent Jews in the history of Christianity,
00:37:09.520 if you like, namely Jesus, Mary, Joseph, Peter, Paul, I guess all of the apostles. And so, so many,
00:37:20.540 so many of the early Christians and later Christians too, wonderful recent saints, Jewish.
00:37:26.560 I understand this is a real problem because you feel as though if you, if you leave a religious
00:37:34.840 group, especially a religious group that also happens to be an ethnic group, that you're somehow
00:37:38.840 betraying people, but you're not. The, the, the ultimate responsibility you have is to God.
00:37:45.140 Okay. And so one would hope that your family will come around and understand and realize that you,
00:37:51.800 you have to be responsible to your God, but even if they don't too bad, you know, your, uh, Christ says
00:37:59.660 this, he says, you know, if you do not hate your brother and sister and, and, uh, father and mother,
00:38:05.940 you can't follow me. Now he also says, love your neighbor as yourself. And he obviously is love
00:38:10.620 himself. Uh, but what does he mean by that? What he means is if you are prioritizing something of
00:38:16.320 this world, even something as, as wonderful and, uh, loyal and deep and profound and important as
00:38:24.500 family over God, then you're doing it wrong. And this is obviously perfectly in line with what,
00:38:32.860 what you would read in the old Testament as well. You can't prioritize anything over God.
00:38:37.340 So I would welcome you to the body of Christ. It's a wonderful thing. I, I'm, I'm, I'm trivializing
00:38:42.520 it. I understand that it's, it is difficult. I would recommend reading Andrew Clavin, another
00:38:47.360 Jew who is a Christian, ethnic Jew, former, you know, he was raised Jewish, uh, and who is also a
00:38:54.780 Christian. I would read his memoir, the great good thing. It's a, it's a good way to navigate that.
00:38:59.880 And there's so many others as well, but I welcome you and I wish you, uh, all the best and look forward
00:39:04.980 to seeing you in heaven someday. Hopefully knock on wood from Joshua, Michael, why do progressives
00:39:11.320 think everything is a fundamental human right? Healthcare voting and now clean air and water.
00:39:16.200 Isn't it more accurate to say everything they want should be a right? You mean like a civil right
00:39:21.900 or something, you know, or, or like a, just a law that you pass. The reason they say this,
00:39:27.520 that everything is a human right, coffee is a human right now is because they don't really mean
00:39:33.300 the same thing by right that we mean by right. Cause they don't really believe in rights at all.
00:39:38.540 Right. Where would, where would a right come from? Well, it would come from,
00:39:41.620 I guess the natural law and the natural law implies a natural lawmaker ties back into the
00:39:46.740 religious question we had earlier. And they don't believe in any of that stuff. They don't believe
00:39:51.480 in this eternal stuff. They don't believe that the nature is even set by fixed laws. The human
00:39:56.320 nature is. They believe that human nature is on a continuum. They think that Newton was replaced by
00:40:00.560 Darwin. They, and they, and even, even those phrases are rife for abuse because they, they don't
00:40:07.160 really understand even what that means. But the gist of it is they think that everything is always
00:40:13.260 sort, sort of changing. And so when we talk about human rights, we're just talking about the things
00:40:17.440 that we really want. We really want, uh, it, it would be nice to have healthcare. So it's a human
00:40:22.560 right. Modern medical technology is a human right. So that means that, that virtually everyone who ever
00:40:28.540 lived before us without modern medical technology was deprived of their human right. And we will be
00:40:33.480 considered to have been deprived of our human right when medical technology advances. So then
00:40:37.500 what does that right even mean? It doesn't mean anything. It's just an expression of their will.
00:40:41.640 And that's really what you're seeing with, uh, most liberal arguments is it's not even an argument
00:40:47.860 from reason or for, from eternal law. It's an argument from the will. And that's no argument at all.
00:40:52.920 It's just saying, gimme, gimme, gimme from Thomas. Hey, Michael, with all the identity politics going
00:40:58.440 around these days and the left's fascination with men being able to identify as, and be treated as
00:41:02.120 women. When do you think it will become a common leftist ideology for people to identify as, and be
00:41:06.820 treated by the left as another race? I ask because despite being a straight white male, I would
00:41:11.140 certainly love to convince leftists that I'm actually a lesbian black woman and get them to pay me
00:41:15.220 reparations. Since of course it was Democrats who kept slavery and racial bigotry alive. Love to hear your
00:41:19.600 thoughts. Well, you're already seeing this a little bit with the Rachel Dolezals. And there was that
00:41:23.080 professor recently because there are certain legal advantages associated with race. Now they say,
00:41:29.540 they, they pretend that there are legal advantages associated with being white, but there aren't
00:41:33.020 right. The, the only legal racism or racial discrimination we have in the country is affirmative
00:41:37.660 action. It gives you a privilege and advantage if you are black or Hispanic, for example, and it gives
00:41:43.540 you a disadvantage if you are white or Asian. And so no surprise that there are white people, a number
00:41:51.200 of them now very prominently who have pretended to be black so that they can get certain legal and
00:41:56.020 social advantages. Uh, this, I don't think will, will be accepted at a broad level, however, because
00:42:02.460 the, uh, the, the left does not care about any of these issues per se. They don't care about one race
00:42:09.960 over another because of that race or because as we were just saying, because of some eternal
00:42:14.080 principle, they're doing it instrumentally to gain power. And, and you don't need to take my word for
00:42:20.180 it. I mean, the, the theorists, uh, the, and the political philosophers who plotted out this kind of
00:42:26.040 regime, especially in the 20th century said this explicitly. He said what we need to do. I mean,
00:42:30.840 and the organizers who did it too, Saul Alinsky was very prominent in this. You got to divvy up the
00:42:35.000 electorate in this way, create new identity groups, give them some special privileges, buy them off,
00:42:40.900 and then they will vote for you and you will get more power. I mean, this was, uh, explicitly the
00:42:46.400 argument for creating lots of new racial identity groups that previously had not existed. And, and
00:42:51.320 people were even slow sometimes to identify with those groups until the left decided to start offering
00:42:57.540 them money and privileges for it. So I don't think that's going to be mainstreamed because the,
00:43:01.360 the very point of it is to keep the people that they want to keep out of it out and the people
00:43:06.100 that they want to bribe, bribed from Gabriel. Hey, Michael, I was talking with a friend today
00:43:11.180 about our country. And one of the things he said was that he believed that our country was mostly
00:43:16.080 being run by white supremacists. What is your take on this and how would you refute it? Thank you for
00:43:22.340 all that you do and love your show. I think that's probably why the, why I couldn't even read that
00:43:26.320 question is because I've already refuted it. That was the premise of the last one. There are legal
00:43:30.260 advantages, uh, based on race in this country, but it's not based on white supremacy from Patrick
00:43:36.280 dear fiery, but mostly peaceful Knowles. Many on the right believe that the 1960s were the turning
00:43:41.240 point in the decay of our society due to the sexual revolution, increased secularization,
00:43:46.940 second wave feminism, fading of American exceptionalism, et cetera. How can you convince
00:43:51.960 someone on the left that this has led to a lot of the chaos we're living through when they think most
00:43:57.520 of those things are net benefits to society and Trump is the source of all of the chaos. I appreciate
00:44:03.840 your thoughts. Yeah. I suppose you just have to go further back than the sixties. I agree with you
00:44:09.980 that the sixties were a turning point, uh, but what, what some of those people I think fail to do
00:44:14.780 is connect the premises of the 1960s and their rosy rose colored glass version of the 1960s with the
00:44:22.400 mayhem we're seeing now, you know, the, uh, the sort of the idealism of the 1960s compared to the
00:44:30.280 decay of the 1970s. Even you saw, you know, I guess to use a good example from the 1960s,
00:44:38.380 you take a bunch of drugs and you get really high and you feel euphoric for a period of time.
00:44:44.000 And then you have a hangover or you have withdrawal or you have addiction or you have misery.
00:44:52.420 All of that is, is because of the drugs. But if you only remember the euphoria,
00:44:57.480 then you're still going to be pro drug, even though you see what happened afterwards. Same
00:45:01.320 thing with this free love. Free love is pretty good for a short period of time. At least it feels
00:45:05.660 pretty good, but then you have disease. Then you have heartbreak. Then you have sexual assault.
00:45:11.240 Then you have unwanted pregnancy that, that can lead to children being abused. Then you have
00:45:18.480 all of these kinds of, uh, awful social consequences. But if all you remember is the
00:45:23.980 heat of the moment, then you say, oh, that was pretty good. So you have to, to show that connection.
00:45:28.500 Obviously Trump couldn't have started the decay, the decay and the chaos has been going on long
00:45:32.820 before Donald Trump. But you, what you have to do is show the connection between cause and effect.
00:45:37.720 And you, you have to show people that there's no such thing as a free lunch or free love or a free
00:45:43.700 high without any consequences. From Andrew. Hey, Michael, I never voted before and I want to.
00:45:50.120 I'm just confused as to why I should. Hillary claimed that she won the popular vote by 3 million votes,
00:45:55.000 which seems to me that that means the popular vote doesn't do anything because she lost. That's
00:45:59.380 true. The popular vote is, has nothing to do with the election. Could you explain to me why we have a
00:46:03.420 popular vote or what I'm missing as to why I should vote? Well, sure. Uh, you should vote because,
00:46:10.140 because if you're listening to this show, you probably have a fairly decent political point
00:46:14.880 of view and we want that view to be expressed at the ballot box. But yeah, the president has never
00:46:19.120 been selected by popular vote. That is a myth that the Democrats try to drag out every time they,
00:46:24.340 they lose the election, but they win the popular vote. Then they, then they try to change the rules,
00:46:28.840 but the, the rules, even that come down to why we would campaign in certain States are based on
00:46:33.960 trying to win the election the way the constitution set up, not based on the popular vote or whatever.
00:46:39.960 By the way, if the election were about winning the popular vote, I bet Donald Trump would have won
00:46:43.580 the popular vote because he would have gone to the places with big populations instead of focusing on
00:46:47.900 the places where the electoral vote matters. So you should vote for that one, because if the Democrats
00:46:54.440 do win the popular vote, you want to be able to mitigate their bragging about how they won the
00:46:58.760 popular vote. Uh, but you, you should vote because we have a self-governing Republic and that's the
00:47:03.180 way the system works right now. And we want the good guys to vote more than the less good guys to
00:47:07.880 vote. All right. Take one more question from Dave. Hey, Michael, when the infamous NBC tape came out,
00:47:14.060 Trump was quoted as saying that when you're a star, women will let you do anything, including grabbing
00:47:18.420 them in their private parts. How has no one made the connection that this is exactly what Joe Biden is
00:47:23.700 accused of doing actually doing with Tara Reid. Trump didn't say he actually did that. Although
00:47:29.960 no one would be surprised if he did, but Joe Biden is actually accused of this very act.
00:47:34.640 Actually, no, actually it's a little bit different than that. Cause what Trump is saying is when you're
00:47:39.080 a star, they let you do it. Right. And so when people say that he's, he was, he's bragging about
00:47:44.360 sexual assault by definition, he's not right. Really what he's doing is just telling a locker room
00:47:48.760 joke to Billy Bush, but in his very language, by definition, he's saying they let you do it.
00:47:54.180 So it's not an assault. What Joe Biden is accused of actually doing, she did not let him do. And Joe
00:48:01.300 Biden was not a star by the way. He was a politician in DC. Okay. And so it doesn't even qualify on the
00:48:07.440 premise of what Trump is saying. But the key here is, is the consent, right? Trump's, the premise of
00:48:11.560 Trump's joke is that there is consent. The premise of what Joe Biden is actually being accused of doing
00:48:16.220 is no consent. I'm just going to do it. But why are they not focusing on this, this blatant hypocrisy?
00:48:22.900 Because they don't have to, because they don't have to, because nobody's going to hold them to
00:48:27.320 account to do that. And because of projection, projection where the Democrats accuse their
00:48:33.060 opponents of doing the very things that they do. Democrats accuse Republicans of being soft on
00:48:37.980 Russia. Democrats have just spent a hundred years being soft on Russia in this country, but all of a
00:48:42.840 sudden they flip it. They're not going to be held to account. That's why we're in a less deliberative
00:48:48.900 time. That's why we've got to be a little bit clever and take all of this chaos and try to breed
00:48:54.160 some opportunity. That's our show. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show. See you on Monday.
