Summary
Amy Coney Barrett has been nominated to the Supreme Court by President Trump. But the left is fighting back, saying that she's a threat to the Constitution. Michael Knowles explains why that's not true, and why she's the best chance President Trump has for re-election.

00:00:00.000
Forget about the Supreme Court. The presidential race has now completely shifted, and it has
00:00:07.100
shifted because of the court, because President Trump nominated Amy Coney Barrett.
00:00:14.280
Now we gather in the Rose Garden to continue our never-ending task of ensuring equal justice
00:00:21.900
and preserving the impartial rule of law. Today, it is my honor to nominate one of our nation's
00:00:29.820
most brilliant and gifted legal minds to the Supreme Court. She is a woman of unparalleled
00:00:37.740
achievement, towering intellect, sterling credentials, and unyielding loyalty to the
00:00:58.340
I do not know how Amy Coney Barrett is going to rule on any particular case. That's not the point.
00:01:05.520
I do know that the glorious ACB is the single best chance that President Trump has being
00:01:14.000
re-elected, and that is for two major reasons. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:01:26.440
Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment from Thursday from Wes Brown says,
00:01:31.320
I'm always confused as to why the clips you use of slow Joe have him speaking in a perfectly normal
00:01:36.060
tone and cadence. Then I remember that I'm listening at 1.75 speed. Oh, that'll do it.
00:01:41.860
That's true. Everything else is speeding around, you know, going a mile a minute, and then Joe Biden
00:01:46.640
is speaking in a slightly slow, but still a little more intentional cadence. But no, that's because
00:01:52.900
you've, you've, you've sped them up almost 2x. You know, this presidential race, this Supreme Court
00:02:00.680
filling, they are very complicated. We're going to get through all the little things that are so
00:02:07.940
complicated about it, what it means, how one interacts with the other, but they're very
00:02:10.920
complicated. You know what doesn't have to be complicated? Shopping for auto parts. That's what,
00:02:15.000
and that's why I want to thank our friends over at Rock Auto. Rockauto.com is a family business
00:02:19.500
serving auto parts customers online for 20 years. Go to rockauto.com to shop for auto and body parts
00:02:25.140
from hundreds of manufacturers. Best thing of all, rockauto.com prices are reliably low. They're
00:02:31.260
the same for professionals and do-it-yourselfers. And believe it or not, even I can navigate their
00:02:36.520
website. I don't know anything about cars. I can barely change my oil, especially when you look into
00:02:42.340
a car and you see you got this gizmo over here and this computer over here. Even I can navigate that
00:02:47.400
catalog. You can quickly figure out which parts are available for your vehicle. You can choose the
00:02:52.320
brands, the specs, the prices that you prefer. And I love, it's not gimmicky. It's not like,
00:02:57.280
and you got to buy this now and this price and this and that and the other thing. No,
00:03:00.440
always reliably low, family run business. Head on over right now to rockauto.com. You can check out
00:03:06.540
all those parts available for your car or truck. Then write Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S in there.
00:03:12.160
How did you hear about us box? And they will know that we sent you and you will be able to
00:03:16.300
navigate the website because even I can. President Trump officially nominates judge
00:03:23.600
Amy Coney Barron. Did you hear what he said there? When he nominated her, he didn't say,
00:03:28.040
and she's going to be a fighter and she's going to rule the way we want her to rule all the time.
00:03:32.740
And she's going to pass legislation from the bench. I mean, usually the left isn't that obvious about
00:03:37.500
it, but they do say these things. She's a fighter. She's standing up for this. She's standing up for
00:03:41.500
that talking about judges as though they're activists and politicians. Trump didn't do that.
00:03:46.440
He said, she's going to ensure justice. She's going to be impartial. She's going to follow the
00:03:52.040
law. And the left is now saying, no, she won't. She's a threat to the constitution. She could never
00:03:58.580
be impartial. And what's funny about that line of attack that you're hearing, we'll get into a few
00:04:03.440
lines of attack that they're using right now on the glorious ACB. But what's funny about that one is
00:04:08.020
they're attacking her for not being impartial and for not supporting the constitution when the left
00:04:13.820
doesn't believe in impartiality. And they certainly don't believe in the constitution,
00:04:18.720
but even just that idea of impartiality, they don't believe in that, right? They're denying the
00:04:23.920
idea that you can be outside of your own interests, outside of your own biases. They do this on race.
00:04:30.120
They do this on sex. They do this on all sorts of grievance. That's the point of intersectionality.
00:04:34.540
That's the point of all this grievance mongering and saying, we can't actually access justice.
00:04:41.540
We can't actually communicate about objective reality. All we can do is express our own interests
00:04:46.800
and desires. And if you, you know, if you're a white man, you need to shut up and you can't have
00:04:51.260
your opinions anymore. And if you don't have this lived experience, then you can't have an opinion
00:04:55.560
about it. So there's an, the idea of impartiality doesn't exist on the left because for the left,
00:05:00.360
politics is not about using reason with great deference to the tradition and our forefathers
00:05:07.320
to understand justice and how to live together. For the left, politics is all about interests.
00:05:13.820
As far as I can tell, there are four ways that they can attack Amy Coney Barrett. And the most
00:05:20.720
beautiful thing about her nomination is all of these ultimately fall flat. But there are four ways.
00:05:25.960
I've been analyzing all of the attacks on her. First one is to call her dangerous.
00:05:33.040
This is, this is the Kavanaugh. The Kavanaugh attack is to say that this person who seems perfectly
00:05:38.500
polite and nice and milquetoast and, you know, if anything, maybe a little bit boring, you know,
00:05:43.540
at dinner parties, that this person is actually a criminal, a thug, dangerous. They're going to
00:05:49.120
attack you. You won't feel safe. This is what Ayanna Pressley, the Ringo of the squad, you know,
00:05:54.800
it's AOC and the other ones. And then Ayanna Pressley is kind of the, not as prominent member
00:06:00.640
of the squad. She used this line of attack. She said, quote, Barrett is dangerous and unfit to serve
00:06:06.920
on the highest court. The appellate judge, mom of seven, whose worst and most controversial
00:06:17.040
vice, according to the popular culture, is that she prays too much. That's what they say. They
00:06:22.960
actually say like the worst thing this woman does is she prays a lot and goes to church
00:06:27.020
and is part of a Christian group. That woman's dangerous. Are you afraid of that woman? We've
00:06:34.700
all seen pictures now of Amy Coney Barrett. She's actually been a little bit of a political
00:06:38.020
celebrity for a few years now, since her name was floated last time. Now, obviously she's
00:06:41.840
a worldwide well-known celebrity. Does she make you nervous? Does she look scary to you? Does
00:06:47.980
she look dangerous? When you see her seven children, five biological, two adopted, husband,
00:06:54.940
all smiling, all happy. Does that seem dangerous to you? I don't think so. That one's going to
00:07:00.560
completely fall flat because it just so strains credulity. There's no way to convince anybody that
00:07:06.060
this mild-mannered Midwestern mom who goes to church a lot, that she's dangerous. Number two attack
00:07:12.420
is to attack her judicial philosophy. So this is one of the usual attacks. It was the one that they
00:07:17.760
used when they first started this acrimonious Supreme Court confirmation process, going all the
00:07:24.640
way back to Ted Kennedy and Judge Bork, and then moving later throughout the 80s, and really then it
00:07:31.920
shifts in the 90s. But the first attack on Judge Bork, you'll remember, was not on his personal life,
00:07:36.780
didn't call him a rapist, didn't call him dangerous. Ted Kennedy in the 80s said that Judge Bork's
00:07:41.800
judicial philosophy was terrible for black people and women and all sorts of people. But it was an
00:07:49.000
attack on originalism, on the ideas, not on the person. Then you get into Clarence Thomas and Joe
00:07:55.900
Biden's hearings of Clarence Thomas. Then it became again, he's a rapist, he's a dangerous person,
00:07:59.960
he's a terrible person. But before that, it was the judicial philosophy. So how is Amy Coney Barrett going
00:08:03.580
to do? Leaning right into it. I was lucky enough to clerk for Justice Scalia. And given his
00:08:10.580
incalculable influence on my life, I am very moved to have members of the Scalia family here today,
00:08:17.600
including his dear wife, Maureen. I clerked for Justice Scalia more than 20 years ago, but the
00:08:24.600
lessons I learned still resonate. His judicial philosophy is mine too. A judge must apply the law
00:08:33.220
as written. Judges are not policymakers and they must be resolute and setting aside any policy views
00:08:41.780
they might hold. She's a Scalia originalist. I had the privilege of meeting Scalia twice when I was a
00:08:48.920
student and he described his political or his judicial philosophy rather as being different than
00:08:55.660
partisanship, as being different than interests. And the one maybe defining feature of Scalia's
00:09:03.000
originalism is when he said, if you're a really good originalist judge, you will not always be happy
00:09:10.320
with the decisions that you end up with. Meaning I have this personal interest, I have this political
00:09:15.860
preference, but if I'm actually applying originalism, then sometimes what the constitution and the law
00:09:22.280
actually say are different than what I would prefer that they say if I were a legislator, for instance.
00:09:29.240
When Bork was up for the court, it was all too new, this idea of applying the law fairly, this idea of
00:09:36.880
reading the constitution and figuring out what it actually means, not just what we would like it to
00:09:41.100
mean. It was too new and so they got rid of him. But Scalia has done such a great job of explaining
00:09:45.920
originalism over the years that that is now the mainstream conservative legal philosophy. And so Amy Coney
00:09:51.900
Barrett comes out there and says, that's my philosophy. That's not going to be controversial.
00:09:57.220
It is now at least, it's at least acceptable in legal circles to say, I'm not going to push my
00:10:04.280
partisan interest. I'm not going to legislate from the bench. I am interested in justice. You know,
00:10:09.700
what's unjust paying too much for your cell phone bill. Oh my gosh. Amy Coney Barrett with such a great
00:10:15.960
setup on that ad. My friends at Pure Talk USA can help you here when you're overpaying for your
00:10:21.820
cell phone. I'm going to be extremely blunt about this because I think people don't understand what
00:10:26.300
I'm saying. Let's say your cell phone plan is with Verizon, ATT, T-Mobile. You're paying way too much
00:10:33.820
for the exact same coverage that you'll be getting with Pure Talk. Not similar coverage. I'm not saying
00:10:41.080
it's like they use towers that are kind of similar to the other. It's the exact same coverage. You're
00:10:48.260
just paying maybe twice as much. The average person who switches to Pure Talk is using less than four
00:10:53.420
gigs of data a month. The big carriers are charging you for unlimited data. That's like paying for an
00:10:58.780
entire row on an airplane and then you just need one seat. That's not a very smart financial decision.
00:11:04.360
That's how Pure Talk saves the average person over $400 a year on their wireless service.
00:11:08.180
unlimited talk, text, two gigs of data. You get it all for just $20 per month. Get your mobile phone
00:11:15.060
right now. Right now. Well, maybe not right now if you're driving or something. I don't know. But
00:11:18.440
very quickly, grab your mobile phone, dial pound 250 and say Michael Knowles. When you do,
00:11:24.320
you will save 50% off your first month. Dial pound or hashtag. That's the modern, that's the cool new
00:11:29.540
modern way to say it. Hashtag 250. Say keyword Michael Knowles, Pure Talk. Simply smarter wireless.
00:11:35.660
So the judicial philosophy is out there. That is now mainstream. I'm not saying the left likes it.
00:11:41.480
I'm not saying they're not going to still try to go after the judicial nominees. Actually,
00:11:45.500
the judicial philosophy is ultimately what they're after, but they're not open about that anymore.
00:11:50.360
So she leans right into it. She says, yep, I'm with Scalia. I'm an originalist.
00:11:54.420
Nothing really to criticize or scaremonger over yet until she gets to her family. And, and
00:12:00.320
ACB goes straight from her judicial philosophy into her family structure. Sounds wonderful. Sounds
00:12:08.760
wholesome. How on earth could you attack her for it? The Democrats find a way.
00:12:12.560
The president has asked me to become the ninth justice. And as it happens, I'm used to being in
00:12:18.620
a group of nine, my family. Our family includes me, my husband, Jesse, Emma, Vivian, Tess, John Peter,
00:12:30.540
Liam, Juliet, and Benjamin. Vivian and John Peter, as the president said, were born in Haiti and they
00:12:38.680
came to us five years apart when they were very young. And the most revealing fact about Benjamin,
00:12:44.720
our youngest, is that his brothers and sisters unreservedly identify him as their favorite
00:12:49.900
sibling. Our children obviously make our life very full. While I am a judge, I'm better known
00:12:57.640
back home as a room parent, carpool driver, and birthday party planner. When schools went remote
00:13:04.260
last spring, I tried on another hat. Jesse and I became co-principles of the Barrett e-learning
00:13:09.820
academy. And yes, the list of enrolled students was a very long one. Our children are my greatest
00:13:17.920
joy, even though they deprive me of any reasonable amount of sleep.
00:13:23.120
So they try to attack her as dangerous. That's not going to work. They try to attack her philosophy.
00:13:27.560
The people aren't going to buy that anymore. I know what you're thinking. You say, there's no way
00:13:31.760
they're going to go after her family. She's got this beautiful family. She's got this wonderful
00:13:37.080
story. She and her husband have apparently a very nice marriage, five biological kids. They adopt
00:13:43.420
two kids from Haiti. Everybody gets along. It's so wonderful. What a beautiful thing to do.
00:13:49.100
The left is attacking her for it. They are. There is this, this, I guess now somewhat famous,
00:13:55.000
maybe infamous, anti-racist author and diversity consultant, Ibram Kendi. Now, maybe you've heard
00:14:04.200
this name, Ibram Kendi. He's come up a lot in the BLM stuff. It should be clear when you hear these
00:14:08.780
terms, anti-racist author or diversity consultant, what that really means is con artist. It means
00:14:15.560
fraud. That's, that's all he is. This guy is a complete huckster who is scamming people out of
00:14:22.320
money. He's technically a professor at Boston University. He's founding director of the Boston
00:14:27.120
University Center for Anti-Racist Research. What is anti-racist research? What, what, what academic
00:14:33.460
discipline is that part of? None. He's a contributor for the Atlantic and a CBS news correspondent.
00:14:39.260
So he's just another leftist media hack. And even on the academic front, you say, okay, well,
00:14:46.300
he's a professor, right? He's got to be a real academic, right? He's not. He has a PhD in something
00:14:50.520
called African-American studies, which is a fake academic discipline, just like all the other
00:14:55.960
critical studies disciplines. They're not real. They have, they have nothing to do with actual
00:15:02.340
scholarship or actual academic disciplines. They are ideology in the university. That's all they do.
00:15:09.840
They just take a very shallow, modern ideological view and they make an entire academic department
00:15:17.420
out of it. But it's not, it's not academic. It's pseudo academic. Obviously the study of ideology has
00:15:22.760
something to do in a university, but typically you would study that through philosophy, right? That would,
00:15:30.520
that's an actual academic discipline or even history, how these different ideologies have
00:15:34.840
cropped up. But the ideology itself is not an academic discipline. It's just too shallow. There's
00:15:40.760
not enough scholarly meat there. And so this guy has a fake PhD. He writes for a couple hack outlets.
00:15:47.720
He's the founding director of some fake academic center at Boston university. And he milks people out of
00:15:55.120
money as a diversity consultant. He's an entire, he's a scam artist. And then he has the gall to attack
00:16:01.000
this woman's family. He says some white colonizers adopted black children. They civilized these savage
00:16:08.120
children in the superior ways of white people while using them as props in their lifelong pictures of
00:16:12.820
denial while cutting the biological parents of these children out of the picture of humanity.
00:16:18.300
Adopting poor kids, orphans from, from bad areas is now a bad thing. Now, of course it's not.
00:16:29.960
And what he's saying, by the way, is white people shouldn't adopt black people, right? That's,
00:16:33.020
that's what's lying at the bottom of what he's saying. And he's the professor of anti-racism.
00:16:38.040
Makes you think, huh, maybe this anti-racism thing isn't really what it, what it sounds like.
00:16:43.300
Maybe this anti-racism thing isn't really, really what it sounds like. This is, I mean, I, there's
00:16:49.460
no reason to ever listen to this guy. He's a total fraud and, and what he says is worth less than
00:16:54.700
nothing. But the reason I pointed out is because it's a very bad look for Democrats. He's saying
00:17:00.440
what a lot of them are thinking, but a lot of professional Democrats, you know, elected people,
00:17:06.180
operatives, they realize this is going to be a bad line of attack. I don't think it's going to play
00:17:09.980
in Peoria. People are not going to like it when you attack this woman's children and attack this
00:17:16.340
woman for adopting children from a bad place, you know, in a bad situation and giving them a loving
00:17:23.300
home and raising them and bringing them to the land of the free. If you attack a woman for that,
00:17:28.660
not going to be a good look in November. So this brings us then to the fourth attack.
00:17:34.180
First two, they can't lob. The third one, they do lob, but it looks really bad. The fourth one is
00:17:38.460
attacking her religion. You know, Dianne Feinstein already did this, said that the dogma lives loudly
00:17:45.060
within Amy Coney Barrett because she's a Catholic. Same thing. Dick Durbin said this. He goes, what,
00:17:49.800
you actually believe Catholicism? You're Orthodox in your, in your religion? That's so weird. What?
00:17:55.140
I've never heard of that before. And then Bill Maher put it in less polite terms.
00:18:00.100
But apparently the pick is going to be this Omi, Omi, Amy Coney. We'll all be saying this name a lot,
00:18:07.580
I'm sure, because she's a f***ing nut. Religion. I was right about that one, too.
00:18:15.500
Amy, sorry, but Amy Coney Barrett, Catholic, really Catholic. I mean, really, really Catholic,
00:18:25.920
like speaking in tongues. Like she doesn't believe in condoms, which is what she has in
00:18:30.940
common with Trump because he doesn't need them. Also a terrible look for Democrats. First of all,
00:18:38.260
when Bill Maher speaks, doesn't he just remind you of that like smug 13 year old you knew in middle
00:18:44.800
school who, who, whose arguments for atheism were more or less, um, I can't see God. Where is he? I
00:18:52.860
can't touch him. Checkmate theists. Yeah. Um, if God is real, then, uh, why, why won't he manifest
00:19:03.860
himself physically when I demand it? Um, checkmate Christians. It's just so shallow. It's as if,
00:19:12.640
as if people hadn't been thinking of these questions before, as if St. Thomas Aquinas never existed,
00:19:18.280
as if the Summa Theologiae didn't exist, as if St. Augustine didn't exist, as if the great geniuses
00:19:23.720
of history, the great doctors of the church, because then Bill Maher comes and says, wait a
00:19:28.680
second, I can't see God or whatever his dumb arguments are. You say, oh my, okay, well, you're
00:19:35.300
right. There goes my Summa Theologiae time to set it on fire. Even think, think about Pope Benedict the
00:19:40.060
16th, Pope Emeritus Benedict the 16th, maybe the greatest living theologian, a brilliant scholar
00:19:47.060
who has been writing and thinking about God for his entire life. Who do you think has a better
00:19:54.800
handle on these things? Who do you think has more brain cells rubbing together? Who do you think has
00:19:59.480
spent more time in serious contemplation of this question? Pope Benedict or Bill Maher? And yet Bill
00:20:06.320
Maher, with the arrogance that only a true leftist can muster, says it's so ridiculous. I don't even need
00:20:13.140
to consider this question. I know sometimes Bill Maher says things we like, so we say he's not on
00:20:17.380
the left, but he is on the left. He just, he likes telling dirty jokes too, so he's not totally
00:20:22.120
politically correct. But that's not a good argument. Do you remember about a week ago when Democrats were
00:20:28.860
saying that Joe Biden is a devout Catholic and how wonderful it is to be a devout Catholic? We said,
00:20:33.640
no, he's not. He was actually refused communion because he's, he's in a state of grave scandal and he's
00:20:39.600
supporting abortion on demand, taxpayer funded up until the moment of birth. So he actually, he's
00:20:44.840
not, he's, he's not in good standing right now with the Catholic church. They say he's devout. How
00:20:50.740
dare you? But now you get an actual Catholic, an actual practicing Catholic. And they say she's an
00:20:54.840
effing nut. This leaves only one option for Democrats. One option, which the smart ones are
00:21:01.880
taking. It's the only safe option. And speaking of safety, you need to make sure that no one steals
00:21:09.180
your information on the internet. You do. You have got to be very responsible right now because
00:21:13.100
people are working from home. People are doing your school from home and the cyber criminals know
00:21:18.140
that and they're going to try to steal your identity. Identity theft is a big time crime. There
00:21:22.280
are whole criminal gangs operating units dedicated to it. It's very important to understand how cyber
00:21:27.340
crime and identity theft affect our lives. Every day we put our information on the internet,
00:21:33.000
right? You could miss certain identity threats if you're just monitoring your credit. That's why
00:21:38.000
you need a LifeLock, which detects a wide range of identity threats like your social security number
00:21:42.500
for sale on the dark web. This one in particular, if they detect your information, they will send you
00:21:47.540
an alert. Now, no one can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses,
00:21:54.200
but you can find out if your information is out there on the dark web. You can find that out right
00:21:59.580
now and you should because it can cause a lot of headaches down the road. Get your free dark web

00:22:34.900
They are going after her family and it doesn't look good. They are going after her religion and
00:22:38.920
it doesn't look good. There's one thing left they can do and that is retreat. They can retreat.
00:22:42.940
They can run away from this because there's no way that this works well for Democrats attacking
00:22:48.400
Amy Coney Barrett. Hearings tentatively scheduled for October 12th. The Democrats are planning to
00:22:53.420
boycott. At least some Democrats are planning to boycott. Two senators, Maisie Hirono and Richard
00:23:00.280
Blumenthal, say that they will not meet with Amy Coney Barrett beforehand. They haven't said that they
00:23:05.020
won't meet with her if the hearings take place, but they're saying they're not even going to sit down
00:23:08.300
with her beforehand because it would, quote, legitimize President Trump's decision to nominate the
00:23:14.220
glorious ACB. I think this is Democrats' best chance is to just not show up to the hearings.
00:23:20.520
Do you remember what Kavanaugh did to the Democrats? Do you remember what that did? It gave us such a
00:23:25.440
boost. It so helped Republicans and it will do that again in November. And I'm, I'm even willing to give
00:23:32.000
this free advice to Democrats. One, because I like, I'd like to call it like I see it, even if I don't
00:23:35.960
want to let the secrets out for the Democrats. But two, they're not going to be able to resist.
00:23:40.780
First, Democratic senators, senators of any kind, cannot resist a TV camera. They always say this
00:23:46.520
about Chuck Schumer. The most dangerous place in New York is between Chuck Schumer and a TV camera,
00:23:51.320
right? You can't, they can't resist the cameras. They're going to have to do it. And it's going to
00:23:55.720
look really bad because as we pointed out, every line of attack they have on this woman
00:23:59.460
is going to hurt them. Now, Amy Coney Barrett is not just changing up the Democrats' election strategy
00:24:08.780
with regard to say hearings or public appearances. She's, she's completely changing their electoral
00:24:16.580
strategy in November. The nomination is changing everything and nobody's talking about this. So the
00:24:21.540
strategy previously was promote mail-in ballots, hire a lot of lawyers, challenge the results of
00:24:29.520
the election on election night. There's going to be a red mirage. Trump is going to win on election
00:24:34.120
night, but then you're going to get enough lawyers to challenge the results and wait for the mail-ins
00:24:38.020
and maybe find a few boxes of mail-ins. I don't know, hate hiding out somewhere and then bring
00:24:42.420
it all the way up to the courts. And then at the Supreme court, they're going to give it to the
00:24:45.320
Democrats. That was the strategy. But now they can't rely on the Supreme court because the most
00:24:52.700
stalwart partisan democratic judge in the Supreme court is no longer there. They cannot rely on Ruth
00:25:00.420
Ginsburg. So now they've got to change their strategy. They've got to pull the election back
00:25:07.920
out of the courts. And if they're going to pull the election back out of the courts and actually try to
00:25:11.520
win it fair and square at the ballot box, then they're going to have to back down on pushing for
00:25:16.320
widespread mail-in and they're going to have to back down on refusing to concede the election.
00:25:20.040
This is not some wild, crazy conspiracy theory. Okay. They actually told us they were going to do this.
00:25:25.380
Do you remember a couple of weeks ago when Hillary Clinton said Joe Biden should not under any
00:25:30.840
circumstances concede the election? Do you remember that? And then they attacked Donald Trump for not
00:25:35.800
respecting the results of the election. They did this in 2016 too. Hillary said Trump's not respecting
00:25:39.740
the results of the election. And then what happened? She loses and she doesn't respect the results of
00:25:42.920
the election. So she comes out and says it. And a lot of Democrats cheered her on. Well, now they're
00:25:47.620
realizing, goodness gracious, if we can't even rely on the court to steal this election for us,
00:25:53.060
maybe we should back off that plan. Dick Durbin, second highest ranking Democratic Senator,
00:25:58.800
Senate minority whip, came out on ABC talking to George Stephanopoulos, who is a former employee
00:26:04.400
of the Clintons and said, I disagree with Hillary. I disagree with Hillary Clinton. I respect her. I
00:26:11.500
like her, but I think she's just flat out wrong. The election itself is going to be announced. The
00:26:16.840
winner will be announced at some point. It'll take longer with all the paper ballots that are being
00:26:20.940
cast. But at some point, I hope my choice, Joe Biden is elected president. But if we are going
00:26:27.260
to maintain a democracy, peaceful transition through an election is the only way to do it.
00:26:33.940
Great. I'm so glad to hear that you've changed your mind, Dick. I'm so glad to hear after hearing
00:26:39.420
Democrats tell me for weeks that they were not going to concede at all, even if Trump won.
00:26:44.880
I'm so pleased to hear that now you'll respect the results of this election, but it's not just that.
00:26:49.340
They're also backing off of the widespread mail-in votes. So you remember Democrats had been pushing
00:26:53.940
for everybody to use mail-in, almost every single person. They were expecting 80 to 100 million
00:27:00.460
mail-in votes this election. That was in part because they said COVID is so dangerous. You can't
00:27:08.280
possibly show up to the polls on election day. It's outrageous to expect people to show up to the
00:27:11.980
polls. They can and should show up to BLM riots all over the country, but that's, that's okay because
00:27:18.000
COVID doesn't spread there. They just can't go to the polls because that's where you get COVID.
00:27:22.000
We know that mail-in voting is rife with fraud. How do we know this? Well, there was an experiment
00:27:28.300
done by a news affiliate in Philadelphia. They mailed in a hundred mail-in ballots, dummy mail-in
00:27:33.900
ballots. They mailed it to a PO box. What happened? They got two birthday cards in the mailbox. So
00:27:38.780
somewhere the wires got crossed. They took days and days, so much longer than anyone expected
00:27:44.380
to get the mail. And then by the end of it, three of them were missing. Three percent. Guess what
00:27:49.420
sways an election? Three percent. We know that. We've seen examples of voter fraud going on in
00:27:55.440
New Jersey in particular recently. We saw news reports coming out of Texas. Kayleigh McEnany,
00:28:01.600
White House press secretary, gave us examples of voting fraud and voting irregularities just last week.
00:28:07.640
The president wants to get rid of mass mail-out voting. Um, and that's not because it, he said
00:28:14.940
clearly that that could go either way. It could damage either candidate's, um, chances because
00:28:19.840
it's a system that's subject to fraud. In fact, in the last 24 hours, police in Greenville, Wisconsin
00:28:25.620
found mail in a ditch and it included absentee ballots. Um, and also I can confirm for you that
00:28:31.920
Trump ballots, um, ballots for the president were found in Pennsylvania. And I believe you should be
00:28:37.040
getting more information on that shortly here in the last 24 hours, they were found cast aside.
00:28:41.520
So weird because we're being told by everybody that there is no problem with mail-in ballot.
00:28:46.900
There's no problem with widespread mail-in. There's no evidence that widespread mail-in
00:28:50.420
in any way leads to fraud. Now, first of all, what that statement is in a sense, a truism because
00:28:57.580
we've never had widespread mail-in ballots like this. So of course there's no prior evidence. This is a new
00:29:03.260
political strategy. But moreover, what do you say about the Trump ballots that were found to have
00:29:08.160
gone missing and showed up a little bit later? What do you say about that in, in Pennsylvania?
00:29:12.880
Whoopsie daisy. That, well, that's, that's undeniable. What do you say about the box of
00:29:16.840
ballots that was found in a ditch somewhere? What do you say about that? And what's going to happen
00:29:20.780
in all of the counties and all of the states around the country? So what changed? Why are they now
00:29:25.520
completely shifting their argument on mail-in? Is it COVID? Did something change with COVID? Did the
00:29:30.200
virus mutate? I don't think so. They just know that they can no longer rely on the Supreme Court
00:29:35.100
to give them the election. There is one way, there is one way that the Democrats are trying now
00:29:43.200
to sway public opinion on Amy Coney Barrett. It's not necessarily an attack on her. It's not talking
00:29:52.600
about the big issue that we're all talking about, Roe versus Wade and abortion. It's not talking about
00:29:57.500
that. There is one way that the Democrats are going to try to do it. It's a, it's a traditional
00:30:02.920
election strategy. They've been using it for 30 years. I still think it's not going to work. We will
00:30:08.860

00:32:51.760
The issue that Democrats always demagogue is healthcare. That's the one they keep coming back
00:32:56.700
to and they keep coming back to healthcare because there's no answer to it. There's no answer.
00:33:02.680
It's obviously disingenuous and ridiculous. Do you remember how Obamacare was supposed to solve
00:33:08.000
our healthcare problems once and for all? That's how it was sold to us. They said, look,
00:33:11.860
one big fix. It's going to be very expensive. It's going to totally change the healthcare system,
00:33:14.880
but then we'll have fixed healthcare in America and it's all good. Except it wasn't because we got
00:33:19.380
Obamacare and then they still complained about and the uninsured and the this and the that and the
00:33:22.740
this and the that. And the promises of Obamacare were lies. If you like your doctor, you can keep
00:33:28.260
your doctor. I think that was the political fact lie of the year that year. And it was a rare occasion
00:33:32.560
where PolitiFact actually hit a Democrat. So that one was out. How about premiums will go down?
00:33:37.720
They didn't go down. They went up. It was a total lie, but they always demagogue it because Democrats
00:33:42.040
can always push a bigger and bigger plan to take more and more power over the fundamental question
00:33:48.740
of life and death from people. That's why the Democrats always move into healthcare. That's why
00:33:54.520
they move into education too. If you control education, you're shaping the future of the country.
00:33:58.220
If you control healthcare, then you control questions of life and death. So they push for
00:34:03.100
healthcare. And what's the Republican answer? There isn't one because the Republican answer is,
00:34:07.420
I think we should have more of a decentralized system with a little more consumer choice and
00:34:11.340
focus on quality and make sure we take care of the people who are in need, which we already have,
00:34:15.440
by the way. Nobody is told that they have to die in the street in the United States.
00:34:19.680
This idea, they say, what about the poor? What are the, we already have so many healthcare programs
00:34:24.300
for the poor. Medicare for elderly people, Medicaid for poor people. We've got the children's
00:34:33.520
health insurance plan. We've got this health insurance plan. We've got that health insurance
00:34:36.080
plan. It's never enough though, because they always say, what, you want people to die? So it's
00:34:41.220
a good one to demagogue on. And that's the only way they're going to try to sway public opinion
00:34:45.240
about Amy Coney Barrett. Now, how are they going to relate Amy Coney Barrett to healthcare? Hillary
00:34:49.420
Clinton speaking with Joy Reid at the Texas Tribune Festival with MSNBC made the public relations pitch.
00:34:57.060
And she did it in exactly those terms. She was saying, these are the talking points that we need
00:35:00.880
to be on. Ultimately, this fight, it seems to me, is about healthcare. Remember, healthcare is
00:35:09.200
literally before the court. Trump and the Republicans led by Mitch McConnell have been trying to get rid
00:35:16.180
of healthcare for years, ever since President Obama passed the Affordable Care Act. For reasons that
00:35:23.260
escape me, they want to strip away the rights of people with preexisting conditions, about 130 million
00:35:30.120
Americans, from getting affordable healthcare. They want to totally take away the coverage for 22 million
00:35:37.000
Americans who get their healthcare through the Affordable Care Act. They want to take away all
00:35:42.780
the protections that were passed by the Congress, like being 26 and still being able to stay on your
00:35:48.600
parents' policy, and the list goes on. So let's be sure we understand that what the Republicans are doing
00:35:56.660
is rushing an appointment to the court to repeal the Affordable Care Act and strip away healthcare from many
00:36:06.320
millions of Americans. That's the issue, is it, Hillary? Now, of course, she gives away the game
00:36:12.540
in that language there. She says they want to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Courts don't repeal things.
00:36:19.240
They can overturn decisions. They can rule that certain laws are unconstitutional. And that's always
00:36:27.260
been the issue with Obamacare. The issue with Obamacare in the courts is not whether the courts like
00:36:31.840
Obamacare or not. It's not whether they like that particular healthcare plan or this particular
00:36:35.380
healthcare plan. It's, is the plan constitutional? Can the federal government force you to buy a
00:36:40.400
product from a private company? And in the original Obamacare decision, John Roberts, the chief justice
00:36:47.320
decided that he was going to try to have his cake and eat it too and say, well, the individual mandate
00:36:51.700
of Obamacare is a tax for, for this reason, but it's a penalty for this reason. And it's therefore
00:36:57.360
it's constitutional. It was so ridiculous. Scalia made mincemeat of his stupid opinion, but he was just
00:37:02.620
doing it basically to give the libs a win because he felt that people would revolt and burn down the
00:37:06.840
Supreme Court if he, if he overturned and deemed unconstitutional Obamacare. But that's the issue.
00:37:12.880
It's not about legislation. And do Republicans really, we want to take healthcare away from
00:37:17.040
millions and millions of people. Is that really what happened? Is that really what you believe,
00:37:19.800
Hillary? No, of course not. But they are making that pitch because they, they think that they can tie
00:37:27.740
healthcare to abortion. Really what this Amy Coney Barrett thing's about is what all of the Supreme
00:37:33.240
Court nominations have been about going all the way back to Judge Bork. And it's what that one was
00:37:37.400
about too. Abortion because of this stupid decision, Roe versus Wade, that invented a fictional
00:37:43.220
constitutional right to abortion. Get your magnifying glass out. Look at the constitution.
00:37:48.260
Find me the right to an abortion. You won't find it. It's nowhere. And the people who wrote that
00:37:52.660
stupid decision, Roe versus Wade, didn't even pretend. They didn't even try to say they found
00:37:57.580
it. They said there were penumbras and emanations and this and that. And if you look secretly in the
00:38:01.900
invisible ink, it's all BS. They felt that they needed there for the social upheaval of the country.
00:38:09.600
They just wanted there to be a right to an abortion. And so they made it up out of whole cloth and they
00:38:15.460
know it's indefensible and honest liberal jurists will tell you that it's indefensible. And that's why all of
00:38:21.780
these decisions have been so contentious. That's why all these confirmations have been so contentious.
00:38:27.700
Hillary admits it. She says, look, without mentioning abortion, she says, this health care issue,
00:38:33.460
that's the case we've got to make if we want to hold up this nomination.
00:38:38.880
There is no mistake about that. You know, there are other issues that we'll look at down the road, but
00:38:44.800
right now the Democrats need to make that case. There are other issues that we'll look out down the road.
00:38:51.520
Sure. But right now the case the Democrats have to make is about health care. Why? Because you know
00:38:55.800
that if you, if you hold up this woman, who's very attractive, she's very attractive in her resume.
00:39:01.700
She's, she's physically attractive. She's attractive as a nominee. She's attractive
00:39:05.740
constitutionally. If you hold up this nominee over your maniacal sociopathic obsession with killing
00:39:13.900
babies, that's not going to look great for the 2020 presidential election. So you got to pretend
00:39:19.800
that this is all about health care when it's actually about the opposite of health care.
00:39:23.700
It's actually about killing people. And so there couldn't be more opposite for health care. And,
00:39:29.020
and Hillary Clinton describes the Republican efforts to do what the constitution requires
00:39:32.880
and appointed judge. She describes them in religious terms, but not, not the good religion,
00:39:38.600
not in the bright light heavenly terms. She describes it in hellish terms.
00:39:43.680
This could not be more diabolical. And I think that Democrats need to be absolutely clear
00:39:50.840
at the federal level in this fight with McConnell and Trump, but also in the Senate races, that any
00:39:57.920
vote for any Republican is literally a vote to cost you money, to make your health care more expensive,
00:40:04.420
and maybe to eliminate the possibility you'll be able to afford it at all.
00:40:09.280
Anyone else notice how happy Hillary Clinton looked when she said the word diabolical?
00:40:15.260
She goes, yes, it's, uh, it's really, it's diabolical. Oh,
00:40:21.740
she's sort of stirring whatever is in her cauldron. Uh, yeah, Hillary Clinton certainly,
00:40:28.440
certainly gets a thrill by that word diabolical, but diabolical is a good word to use, not for what
00:40:34.100
the Republicans are doing, but for what the Democrats are doing. You don't need to take my word for it.
00:40:37.360
Take the word of the Huffington Post. Woman writing for the Huffington Post. Jamie Smith writes,
00:40:42.460
the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg pushed me to join the satanic temple.
00:40:49.260
It's for real. There's a picture of like Baphomet or something, some kind of satanic symbol.
00:40:54.140
I'm a 40 something attorney and mother who lives in a quiet neighborhood with a yard and a garage full
00:40:58.060
of scooters and soccer balls. I'm not the type of person who would normally consider becoming a
00:41:01.980
satanist, but these are not normal times. Are they not? Are they not normal? I actually think
00:41:08.580
these are normal times. We always say we're living in such crazy times. I mean, they're interesting
00:41:12.140
times, but the times are interesting. Generally life is, the world is very interesting. And I,
00:41:18.360
I have to disagree with this woman. I think that she's exactly the type of person who would become
00:41:24.460
a satanist. The type of person who thinks she doesn't really have strong religious views. She
00:41:32.900
actually says here that the satanic temple, they're atheists. It's not like they're, they're
00:41:37.120
believing in some spiritual thing. They're actually atheists. They don't think God exists. They don't
00:41:40.140
think the spiritual world exists. Okay. But they just think these damn Republicans are so crazy.
00:41:45.020
They're, they're, they're theocrats. They're, they're awful. And we should all be afraid. She says,
00:41:50.240
I fear that American citizens are inching closer to living in a theocracy or a dictatorship and that
00:41:54.660
the checks meant to prevent this from happening are close to eroding fundamental despair. And the
00:41:59.580
satanic temple, they just believe in fundamental tenets, such as, uh, the struggle for justice is
00:42:05.820
an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions. And that one's body is
00:42:11.040
inviolable subject to one's will alone. And you know, these are things that we believe,
00:42:15.680
plenty of people believe in them. This is exactly how Satanism operates. You think a Satanist is just
00:42:22.820
like scary people in robes doing all sorts of things? No, no. The greatest trick the devil ever
00:42:29.180
played was convincing people that he does not exist. That's always how the devil has operated.
00:42:36.140
The greatest trick that the devil has up his sleeve, the greatest temptation is to distract you with the
00:42:41.340
things of this world. Don't need to take my word for it. That's the gospel truth. To distract you,
00:42:47.500
to tempt you with things such as power, which is what this woman is talking about, or filling your
00:42:53.060
physical desires or indulging your appetites. Christ's temptation by the devil in the wilderness
00:42:57.900
is that, right? That's, that is how it operates. And when we use these terms diabolical,
00:43:05.980
these are, they really are getting at something. Don't you think it's a little weird that all of
00:43:13.820
these people who are, who come from, I guess, different backgrounds, different geographical
00:43:19.480
backgrounds, different political backgrounds, all the political issues on the table, the one that is
00:43:23.580
holding them up, the one that is going to create this chaos for the Supreme Court nomination is whether
00:43:30.140
or not we have the right to kill a million babies. This should not, this is not a complicated issue.
00:43:35.000
The issue of abortion is not complicated. We pretend it's complicated. There's a new movie out
00:43:38.880
on HBO Max called Unpregnant. I'll do a review of it coming up, but it's about, it's like a buddy trip
00:43:45.920
about going out and killing a bunch of babies. This is not a complicated issue. Do you think a country
00:43:51.340
should allow its citizens to kill a million babies a year? No, nobody thinks so. And then there are all
00:43:57.860
these tricks. They say, well, it's not really a baby. It's not really human, not really alive. Yeah,
00:44:02.120
it's all of those things. It's very clearly all of them. I have a sonogram. I can show you,
00:44:05.740
I can show you that it's all of those things. Forget about even the philosophical arguments,
00:44:09.420
which are all very clear. Don't you think that's a weird coincidence? Don't you think that's like an
00:44:16.440
odd, that wouldn't, shouldn't we be arguing about taxes or foreign policy or, or actual healthcare or
00:44:21.020
that? No, because these diabolical influences, these diabolical people, these people actually joining
00:44:28.900
the satanic temple. Uh, they know not what they do. There's a big political endorsement that just
00:44:36.260
came up. Big meaning that the person who endorsed is very big. He's one of the biggest, most muscular
00:44:41.440
people in the world. His name is The Rock. The Rock, who I was heard was a kind of moderate Republican.
00:44:47.060
He's endorsing Joe Biden and he's endorsing Joe Biden in the stupidest political endorsement
00:44:52.240
I have ever heard. Take a listen to The Rock's reasoning. You know, look, I've got friends in all
00:44:58.220
parties, but the one thing that we can always agree on is the conversation and the dialogue and where
00:45:04.020
that conversation lands is always the most critical part. Now, this is something that I've certainly not
00:45:10.440
done in the past. So I'm going to go big. You guys know me. If I go, I go big. So guys, I had the
00:45:18.680
opportunity to sit down with vice president Joe Biden and Senator Kamala Harris to talk about
00:45:24.900
a number of important issues that we're facing as a country. I thought it was a great and extremely
00:45:30.440
productive conversation that we had. And as a registered independent for years now with
00:45:36.540
centrist, centrist, excuse me, ideologies, I do feel that vice president Biden and Senator Harris
00:45:43.360
are the best choice to lead our country. And I am endorsing them to become president
00:45:48.200
and vice president of our United States. The Rock is endorsing Biden and Harris because he likes
00:45:56.040
conversation. Now, first of all, which party right now do you think is encouraging conversation,
00:46:03.900
dialogue, civil discourse? Is it the one nominating a Supreme court justice and calling for hearings and
00:46:11.940
debate over that? Or is it the one burning down the country, burning, rioting, looting,
00:46:17.980
killing people, encouraging all of that? Which one do you think it is? The Democrats are not permitting
00:46:24.080
conversation of any kind. They are censoring people. They are de-platforming people. They are
00:46:32.360
physically intimidating people with violence. If they say things that they don't like or don't say
00:46:37.620
things that they do like, that image of that mob screaming, say Black Lives Matter, say BLM,
00:46:42.780
say it, say it, screaming at that woman in the restaurant. You remember that a few weeks ago?
00:46:45.340
Well, they don't even believe the conversation can exist because the left is now saying that
00:46:52.820
we can't, getting right back to the top of the show, we can't be impartial. There's no such thing
00:46:57.820
as objective justice, objective reality. There's just subjective experience, my lived experience,
00:47:03.580
which you can't talk about. And I can't talk about your lived experience. So you got to shut up.
00:47:07.660
And politics is not about the rational pursuit of truth that is outside of ourselves, which is
00:47:13.940
essential to communication. Because when we communicate, we're just using symbols, which
00:47:17.360
are called words. And I say one symbol and you hear that symbol. And if there's not something
00:47:21.440
outside of both of us to which that symbol refers, then it can't mean anything. Right? They're saying,
00:47:27.680
yeah, none of that can exist. It's just my interests. It's just my feeling. The only thing I can know is
00:47:32.580
real is my suffering. And you can't know anything about that. So just on the philosophical point,
00:47:37.060
not that I think that the rock is the greatest living philosopher, what he's saying doesn't make
00:47:42.140
any sense. But secondly, enough conversation. I like conversation as much as the next guy. I like
00:47:47.900
it a lot more than the left does. Conversation is not an end unto itself. Conversation is a means to an
00:47:55.820
end. We don't, we don't engage in conversation without a purpose. Idle chatter is not conversation.
00:48:03.940
Grunting and noise is not conversation. The purpose of conversation is to get a little closer to the
00:48:12.220
truth, to dust off the truth, to see things more clearly, to come to an understanding of something.
00:48:19.100
There is a purpose. There is an end to conversation. In a civil society, conversation is about dusting off
00:48:25.060
the truth a little bit, persuading our fellow citizens to see the truth as we see it, and then
00:48:29.320
governing ourselves. That's the purpose of it. If you're not doing that, if you're writing off half
00:48:35.140
the country is deplorable and irredeemable, if you're writing off the possibility of conversation,
00:48:40.000
the possibility of justice, the possibility of impartiality and objective truth, then there's
00:48:44.960
no purpose to that conversation. We hear that sort of nonsense so much from the left-wingers.
00:48:51.800
Because they don't believe it themselves. They don't believe in the ability to persuade one
00:48:57.820
another, to have reason, to converse. And so without that, and even with that, we have to pursue
00:49:04.600
discrete ends. It's not just about the form of politics. We have to have substance. It's not just
00:49:09.860
about the form of having the judge. The judge has to be able to read the constitution. And when we're
00:49:14.740
talking about substantive moral claims, we have to realize that killing a million babies a year
00:49:17.940
is bad. You'd think you'd be able to say that in a country. There's a difference between notorious
00:49:24.180
RGB and glorious ACB. There's a difference between those things. I love, by the way, they're very upset
00:49:30.140
that now conservatives are using the phrase notorious ACB, or we've changed it to glorious ACB,
00:49:35.740
because they're saying that we stole that from RBG. As if Biggie Smalls didn't exist. As if,
00:49:41.320
you remember, you know, she took that from, regardless, there's a difference. Do we want to be
00:49:45.800
notorious? Do we want to be glorious? Do we want to kill a million babies a year? Do we want to not
00:49:49.700
kill a million babies a year? Do we want to live in a country where our governance is defined by
00:49:54.260
rioting and looting and violence? Or do we want to live in a country with civility? We want to live in
00:49:59.120
a country where we are civilized people and can discuss and govern ourselves. That's the choice.
00:50:05.480
The Rock made the wrong choice for the wrong reasons. The rest of the choice is up to us. And I have
00:50:10.600
to tell you, the outlook as we look at the next two months has just become much more glorious.
00:50:16.660

You know, The Matt Walsh Show, it's not just another show about politics. I think there are
00:51:18.440
enough of those already out there. We talk about culture because culture drives politics and it
00:51:23.480
drives everything else. So my main focuses are life, family, faith. Those are fundamental.
00:51:30.320
And that's what this show is about. I hope you'll give it a listen.
