00:00:15.180 Last night gave me more hope for President Trump's re-election chances

00:00:19.100 than anything that has happened in recent weeks.

00:00:22.840 What happened?

00:00:23.680 Well, I will let Kamala Harris give it to you in her own words.

00:00:28.400 It was a debate.

00:00:32.100 Not everybody landed punches like you did, though.

00:00:35.580 It was a debate.

00:00:38.020 So you don't mean it.

00:00:39.820 It was a debate.

00:00:41.860 The whole reason, literally, it was a debate.

00:00:44.620 It was called a debate.

00:00:46.580 I understand.

00:00:47.440 Everyone traveled to the debate.

00:00:49.340 There were journalists there covering the debate

00:00:51.760 where there would be a debate.

00:00:54.580 It was a debate.

00:00:56.440 And it showed that when there is a fair debate,

00:01:00.080 then we crush them.

00:01:02.820 Now, unfortunately, Kamala Harris has not learned anything

00:01:06.420 since her disastrous Stephen Colbert interview.

00:01:09.420 She got absolutely wrecked at that debate.

00:01:12.340 I hope that the GOP learns a whole lot from last night.

00:01:15.820 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:01:16.480 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:17.360 Welcome back to the show.

00:01:26.160 My favorite comment from yesterday is from Nor-Russianese,

00:01:31.000 Nor-Russianese, something like that, on YouTube,

00:01:34.120 referring to that young man who is a 10-year-old boy on his e-school.

00:01:40.700 He was asked by his teacher who is a role model that he looks up to.

00:01:45.040 He said Donald Trump and got kicked out of the classroom.

00:01:48.060 Nor-Russianese says,

00:01:50.100 bet if the kid said Che Guevara, he would have gotten an A.

00:01:53.220 Ridiculous.

00:01:53.760 That's true.

00:01:54.380 That is 100% true.

00:01:55.900 If the kid showed up to school,

00:01:58.360 if you're allowed to show up to school anymore,

00:02:00.180 if a kid showed up to school wearing a Make America Great Again shirt,

00:02:02.740 that would be much, much, much more controversial

00:02:05.840 than wearing the shirt of a communist murderer, Che Guevara.

00:02:10.540 That's the country we live in.

00:02:12.040 How's that for a radical establishment?

00:02:37.360 You know I give Ring away to my friends as housewarming gifts.

00:02:40.140 Well, a couple friends of mine gave me a Ring update the other day.

00:02:44.080 They just had a very cute little baby,

00:02:46.560 and they found out because of their Ring that they have a coyote

00:02:49.700 that is coming out into their yard.

00:02:51.720 Now, they would typically, they'd lay out with the little baby.

00:02:54.460 They'd put him on, you know, the lawn.

00:02:56.980 Now, thanks to Ring, they know that there is an animal in there

00:03:00.340 that probably would not be very safe for that baby,

00:03:02.720 and so they are adjusting their lives accordingly.

00:03:24.440 After the presidential debate last week,

00:03:27.680 which was mostly a shouting match,

00:03:29.780 and it could have gone better.

00:03:32.200 Let's put it that way.

00:03:32.900 Last night, we saw a really well-manicured,

00:03:38.060 much more old-style political debate.

00:03:41.240 You had two politicians on stage

00:03:42.900 rather than a professional politician and Donald Trump,

00:03:46.960 you know, where anything can happen.

00:03:49.160 You had two politicians on stage,

00:03:51.420 and in that battle,

00:03:53.140 Mike Pence just mopped the floor with Kamala Harris.

00:03:55.400 The best moment of the debate

00:03:56.480 was when Pence landed the punch

00:03:59.700 that President Trump tried to land on Biden,

00:04:02.640 that Chris Wallace was running interference for Biden,

00:04:05.380 so he wouldn't force him to answer.

00:04:07.060 It was the question of whether or not

00:04:09.260 the Biden-Harris administration

00:04:10.980 would pack the courts.

00:04:12.940 When you speak about the Supreme Court, though,

00:04:15.480 I think the American people

00:04:16.460 really deserve an answer, Senator Harris.

00:04:18.980 Are you and Joe Biden going to pack the court

00:04:21.340 if Judge Amy Coney Barrett is confirmed?

00:04:24.640 I mean, there have been 29 vacancies

00:04:26.220 on the Supreme Court

00:04:27.360 during presidential election years,

00:04:28.760 from George Washington to Barack Obama.

00:04:30.520 Now, presidents have nominated in all 29 cases.

00:04:34.080 But your party is actually openly advocating

00:04:37.140 adding seats to the Supreme Court,

00:04:39.360 which has had nine seats for 150 years

00:04:42.280 if you don't get your way.

00:04:43.960 This is a classic case

00:04:45.120 of if you can't win by the rules,

00:04:46.780 you're going to change the rules.

00:04:48.000 Now, you've refused to answer the question.

00:04:50.140 Joe Biden has refused to answer the question.

00:04:52.140 So I think the American people

00:04:53.260 would really like to know

00:04:54.520 if Judge Amy Coney Barrett

00:04:56.440 is confirmed at the Supreme Court

00:04:57.820 of the United States.

00:04:59.300 Are you and Joe Biden,

00:05:00.660 if somehow you win this election,

00:05:02.320 going to pack the Supreme Court

00:05:04.560 to get your way?

00:05:05.980 I'm so glad we went through

00:05:07.640 a little history lesson.

00:05:08.940 Let's do that a little more.

00:05:11.260 In 1864...

00:05:12.700 Well, I'd like you to answer the question.

00:05:13.860 Mr. Vice President, I'm speaking.

00:05:15.800 I'm speaking.

00:05:17.640 I'm speaking.

00:05:18.520 This was her only defense the whole debate.

00:05:20.300 I mean, she went in unprepared.

00:05:23.020 She went in with indefensible positions

00:05:24.700 and she went in against a seasoned pro.

00:05:28.840 Now, there are pros and cons

00:05:30.700 to being a really good politician.

00:05:32.380 The thing about Donald Trump

00:05:33.260 is by the old model,

00:05:34.540 he's not really a great politician

00:05:35.820 because he actually does answer questions

00:05:37.660 and he actually does do things

00:05:38.600 that are pretty wacky

00:05:39.500 and he's not all that manicured.

00:05:41.440 There's a room for that too

00:05:42.640 because I think people get tired

00:05:43.680 of the more stale political format.

00:05:46.580 However, when you got politician

00:05:48.800 versus politician,

00:05:49.920 you got to go in

00:05:51.080 recognizing how to play this

00:05:52.780 and she absolutely did not.

00:05:54.360 So the only thing she had recourse to

00:05:56.020 was she would say,

00:05:57.660 I'm speaking

00:05:58.280 and she would kind of get more

00:05:59.540 and more angry about this all night.

00:06:00.820 I'm speaking.

00:06:01.720 And you say, yeah, well,

00:06:03.140 but answer the question.

00:06:04.560 It's fine if you're speaking.

00:06:05.840 You can read a litany

00:06:06.700 of whatever you like

00:06:08.600 but I asked you a specific question.

00:06:11.200 She couldn't answer it.

00:06:12.140 Why?

00:06:12.720 Because she knows if she says

00:06:13.780 she won't pack the court,

00:06:15.020 she's going to lose her base.

00:06:16.160 She knows if she says

00:06:16.980 she will pack the court,

00:06:18.100 she's going to seem like a radical.

00:06:19.860 There's nowhere for her to go.

00:06:21.380 And very likely

00:06:22.140 they would pack the court.

00:06:23.200 So he hits her on the court packing.

00:06:24.580 That was the best one of the night.

00:06:25.320 The second best one was on energy.

00:06:27.940 Biden and Harris have been very clear.

00:06:30.320 They would ban fracking.

00:06:31.880 But now,

00:06:32.780 because that's pretty radical,

00:06:34.240 because that would really raise energy prices,

00:06:36.020 because that would take away a lot of jobs,

00:06:37.560 now they're trying to pretend

00:06:38.720 that they don't want to ban fracking.

00:06:40.440 And they tell you with a straight face

00:06:41.760 they're not going to ban fracking.

00:06:43.220 They tell you with a straight face

00:06:44.300 they're not going to try

00:06:45.260 to get rid of fossil fuels.

00:06:46.300 Mike Pence knows how to twist the knife.

00:06:48.620 We literally have spared no expense

00:06:50.840 to help the American people

00:06:52.020 and the American worker through this.

00:06:54.060 Joe Biden and Kamala Harris

00:06:55.360 want to raise taxes.

00:06:57.220 They want to bury our economy

00:06:58.680 under a $2 trillion Green New Deal,

00:07:01.580 which you were one of the original

00:07:02.820 co-sponsors of in the United States Senate.

00:07:05.280 They want to abolish fossil fuels

00:07:07.500 and ban fracking,

00:07:09.160 which would cost hundreds of thousands

00:07:11.080 of American jobs

00:07:12.600 all across the heartland.

00:07:13.840 Joe Biden will not end fracking.

00:07:15.700 He has been very clear about that.

00:07:17.880 Senator Harris,

00:07:18.800 you're entitled to your own opinion,

00:07:20.460 but you're not entitled to your own facts.

00:07:22.780 You yourself said on multiple occasions

00:07:24.740 when you were running for president

00:07:26.220 that you would ban fracking.

00:07:29.080 Joe Biden looked a supporter in the eye

00:07:31.360 and pointed and said,

00:07:33.100 I guarantee,

00:07:34.220 I guarantee

00:07:35.140 that we will abolish fossil fuels.

00:07:38.020 I will repeat

00:07:39.020 and the American people know

00:07:40.860 that Joe Biden

00:07:42.640 will not ban fracking.

00:07:44.400 That is a fact.

00:07:46.460 That is a fact.

00:07:48.040 That is a fact.

00:07:49.420 That is a fact.

00:07:50.100 The problem is

00:07:51.260 that Kamala Harris

00:07:52.320 said multiple times

00:07:54.500 during these debates

00:07:55.380 explicitly

00:07:56.400 that she's going to ban fracking.

00:07:58.800 There's no question

00:07:59.680 I'm in favor of banning fracking.

00:08:01.720 So, yeah.

00:08:02.900 And starting

00:08:03.780 with what we can do

00:08:06.520 on day one

00:08:07.100 around public lands, right?

00:08:08.940 Whoops.

00:08:09.640 Whoopsie-daisy.

00:08:10.620 I mean, you've heard

00:08:11.560 we've played on this show

00:08:12.440 so many times

00:08:13.400 Joe Biden saying

00:08:14.980 that he would

00:08:15.780 ban fracking,

00:08:17.020 no more fracking,

00:08:17.900 try to get rid of fossil fuels.

00:08:19.300 So she had

00:08:20.640 no recourse.

00:08:22.620 She couldn't say,

00:08:23.220 listen,

00:08:23.600 on August 5th,

00:08:25.540 I said definitively

00:08:26.560 I wouldn't ban fracking.

00:08:27.440 She can't do it.

00:08:28.220 I mean, also,

00:08:28.840 as Mike Pence says,

00:08:29.640 she was one of the Senate

00:08:31.160 co-sponsors

00:08:32.360 of the Green New Deal.

00:08:33.900 So what she chose to do

00:08:36.340 was try to seem

00:08:38.520 very smug,

00:08:39.380 very condescending,

00:08:40.860 kind of have this silly

00:08:41.740 smirk on her face

00:08:42.920 all night,

00:08:44.020 shake her head,

00:08:44.820 say no.

00:08:45.780 When Mike Pence

00:08:46.640 uses a cliche,

00:08:48.520 you're entitled

00:08:48.860 to your own opinion

00:08:49.500 but not to your own facts,

00:08:50.460 she goes,

00:08:50.760 good line.

00:08:51.420 There were other people

00:08:51.940 saying that on Twitter.

00:08:53.160 And Mike Pence

00:08:53.780 delivered it well,

00:08:54.420 but that is an old line.

00:08:55.780 They were saying that

00:08:56.540 as though they'd never heard

00:08:57.560 anybody utter it.

00:08:58.960 That's a classic

00:09:00.220 old politician line.

00:09:01.320 I think it was very effective.

00:09:02.900 But that's all she could get

00:09:03.860 in that snide comment,

00:09:04.980 yeah, good line,

00:09:05.860 yeah, no, uh-uh,

00:09:07.740 mm-mm.

00:09:08.420 And Mike Pence,

00:09:09.500 on the other hand,

00:09:10.580 just seemed so sincere.

00:09:13.680 He just seemed so earnest

00:09:15.320 all the time.

00:09:16.620 I've never seen anybody

00:09:17.660 seem more earnest.

00:09:19.040 So you had,

00:09:19.920 you had this kind of

00:09:21.600 performative smugness

00:09:23.080 versus this performative

00:09:24.720 earnestness.

00:09:25.600 And I gotta tell you,

00:09:27.080 the latter played

00:09:27.900 a lot better,

00:09:28.620 at least from my vantage point.

00:09:30.160 Then they moved on

00:09:31.040 to foreign policy.

00:09:32.320 Foreign policy,

00:09:33.100 another area

00:09:33.820 where Pence was just

00:09:35.600 ready to land haymakers.

00:09:36.860 He comes in

00:09:37.480 and he brings up

00:09:38.460 the big issue,

00:09:40.340 which is China.

00:09:41.600 He brings up

00:09:42.440 the big issue,

00:09:44.000 which is the people

00:09:44.600 who destroyed

00:09:46.240 the global economy

00:09:47.040 because of the virus,

00:09:48.100 the people who

00:09:48.760 have eaten

00:09:50.280 America's lunch

00:09:51.220 on trade and manufacturing

00:09:52.500 for 20 years,

00:09:53.220 and crucially,

00:09:54.700 the people who

00:09:55.480 President,

00:09:56.880 then Vice President

00:09:58.700 Joe Biden

00:09:59.560 cheered on

00:10:01.120 as we gave them

00:10:02.160 every advantage

00:10:03.100 in the international

00:10:04.260 trading scene.

00:10:06.300 How would you describe

00:10:07.840 our fundamental

00:10:08.980 relationship with China?

00:10:10.360 Are we competitors,

00:10:12.160 adversaries,

00:10:13.200 enemies?

00:10:14.340 You'll have two minutes

00:10:15.420 uninterrupted.

00:10:17.240 Susan,

00:10:17.800 the Trump administration's

00:10:21.480 perspective and approach

00:10:23.700 to China

00:10:24.240 has resulted

00:10:24.960 in the loss

00:10:25.620 of American lives,

00:10:27.880 American jobs,

00:10:29.960 and America's standing.

00:10:33.460 There's a weird obsession

00:10:35.280 that President Trump

00:10:36.720 has had

00:10:37.400 with getting rid

00:10:38.580 of whatever

00:10:39.280 accomplishment

00:10:40.520 was achieved

00:10:42.420 by President Obama

00:10:43.920 and Vice President Biden.

00:10:46.520 What?

00:10:47.340 Come again?

00:10:48.440 What accomplishment?

00:10:49.520 She's asked

00:10:49.920 an explicit question

00:10:50.700 about China.

00:10:51.860 Here,

00:10:52.260 I'll tell you what,

00:10:52.740 let's role play.

00:10:54.140 I'm Kamala Harris.

00:10:55.680 Let's say I'm running

00:10:56.720 for Vice President

00:10:57.500 and you ask me,

00:10:58.440 is China our enemy?

00:10:59.380 Yes.

00:11:00.640 No,

00:11:01.680 I didn't get to

00:11:02.080 the other answers.

00:11:02.720 You don't have to.

00:11:03.400 Yes,

00:11:03.640 China's our enemy.

00:11:04.680 China is our number one

00:11:07.060 geopolitical adversary.

00:11:09.060 It's not even close,

00:11:10.360 but Kamala Harris

00:11:11.300 can't say that

00:11:12.060 because Joe Biden

00:11:13.040 for decades

00:11:13.800 said that a rising China

00:11:15.720 is good for everybody.

00:11:17.420 In explicitly

00:11:18.500 those terms

00:11:19.680 and not so long ago,

00:11:21.620 he said it is a good thing.

00:11:23.060 It's good that China's

00:11:23.920 in the World Trade Organization.

00:11:25.360 It's good that China

00:11:26.680 is being allowed

00:11:27.420 to grow their economy

00:11:28.720 even at the expense

00:11:29.720 of the American economy,

00:11:31.360 even as they steal property

00:11:33.060 from us,

00:11:33.560 even as they take jobs

00:11:34.400 from us.

00:11:35.140 And so she's got

00:11:35.860 no answer to it.

00:11:36.440 So then she has recourse

00:11:37.580 to what I think

00:11:39.040 was a not very thinly veiled

00:11:40.980 racism accusation.

00:11:43.000 She goes,

00:11:43.540 you know,

00:11:43.860 I don't know what it is

00:11:44.340 about Trump.

00:11:45.420 He's got this weird obsession

00:11:47.040 with repealing

00:11:48.540 everything Obama did.

00:11:51.180 So what do you mean

00:11:51.780 it's a weird obsession?

00:11:54.060 Obama is a radical left Democrat.

00:11:56.500 Trump is a conservative Republican.

00:11:58.520 Of course,

00:11:59.360 he wants to repeal

00:12:00.280 all of his radical legislation

00:12:02.440 and radical executive orders.

00:12:04.840 The only reason

00:12:05.340 it would be weird

00:12:06.060 is the usual accusation

00:12:08.180 that comes up all the time

00:12:09.600 that Kamala Harris

00:12:11.240 made recourse to last night,

00:12:12.440 which is race.

00:12:13.420 She played the race card.

00:12:14.600 Whenever she didn't have an answer,

00:12:15.560 she goes,

00:12:15.820 you know,

00:12:16.100 and I,

00:12:17.100 my mother came here

00:12:18.120 as an immigrant

00:12:19.200 and I,

00:12:20.140 I'm very proud

00:12:21.600 to be the first black woman

00:12:23.120 to be the vice presidential nominee.

00:12:24.900 Nobody cares about that.

00:12:27.180 Nobody cares about that.

00:12:30.160 We have had a black president.

00:12:33.280 We have had

00:12:34.020 a female presidential nominee

00:12:36.360 from a major party.

00:12:38.780 We don't,

00:12:39.580 you,

00:12:39.840 it doesn't matter now,

00:12:41.320 right?

00:12:41.760 You say,

00:12:42.140 and I could be the,

00:12:44.260 if,

00:12:44.620 if Joe Biden is elected

00:12:46.120 and then,

00:12:46.920 you know,

00:12:47.320 he doesn't make it

00:12:48.040 through his term,

00:12:48.840 I could be the second black president.

00:12:51.240 It's like,

00:12:51.480 well,

00:12:51.580 who cares?

00:12:52.140 Everyone cares about the first one.

00:12:53.120 Nobody cares about the second one.

00:12:55.540 It's just so silly

00:12:56.820 and it was a way

00:12:57.300 to evade

00:12:58.200 the questions

00:12:59.700 and it was a way

00:13:00.380 to evade

00:13:00.960 Mike Pence's

00:13:01.840 attack.

00:13:02.760 He finally,

00:13:05.100 and by the way,

00:13:05.780 the first,

00:13:06.940 right out the gate,

00:13:08.020 the first question

00:13:09.320 was a loaded question

00:13:10.540 trying to go after

00:13:12.100 the Trump administration

00:13:13.520 on the coronavirus.

00:13:15.120 This,

00:13:15.740 this moderator,

00:13:16.720 who was much better

00:13:17.580 than Chris Wallace,

00:13:18.460 but again,

00:13:18.900 damning with faint praise.

00:13:20.100 This moderator was clearly

00:13:21.500 on the side of Biden

00:13:22.820 and Harris.

00:13:23.480 The difference was

00:13:24.820 Mike Pence

00:13:25.920 just didn't care.

00:13:27.560 Difference was

00:13:28.160 Mike Pence

00:13:28.640 took the questions

00:13:29.460 he was asked

00:13:30.020 and gave the answer

00:13:31.800 that he wanted to give.

00:13:32.980 He took control

00:13:34.240 of the situation

00:13:35.860 when he was in a situation

00:13:36.940 that was not advantageous

00:13:38.400 to him.

00:13:38.760 Like when I go into

00:13:39.440 a brick and mortar

00:13:40.120 auto parts store

00:13:41.560 and I don't know anything

00:13:42.480 about the parts,

00:13:43.340 I take it,

00:13:43.820 I take that situation,

00:13:44.880 I make it advantageous

00:13:45.840 to me by going

00:13:46.420 to rockauto.com,

00:13:47.420 which is a family business

00:14:38.860 Write Knowles,

00:14:39.480 K-N-W-L-E-S,

00:14:40.660 in their

00:14:41.000 how did you hear

00:14:41.800 about us box

00:14:42.440 so that they know

00:14:43.680 that we sent you.

00:14:46.800 Right out the gates.

00:14:47.740 This was actually

00:14:48.240 the first question

00:14:48.920 of the debate.

00:14:49.280 They bring up

00:14:49.920 COVID

00:14:50.740 and Kamala

00:14:52.820 accuses

00:14:53.700 Trump and Pence

00:14:54.560 of killing

00:14:55.020 all these sorts

00:14:55.520 of people

00:14:55.800 and all this

00:14:56.120 terrible stuff.

00:14:57.080 And then Mike Pence

00:14:57.920 points out

00:14:59.060 a question

00:14:59.960 that the mainstream

00:15:00.440 media would never

00:15:01.180 ask Biden

00:15:02.300 and Harris,

00:15:02.960 which is,

00:15:03.740 what's your plan?

00:15:04.660 And he goes

00:15:05.300 a little further.

00:15:05.880 He points out

00:15:06.420 that Biden plan

00:15:07.860 sure looks

00:15:09.500 a whole lot

00:15:10.040 like that Trump plan.

00:15:11.080 We were able

00:15:12.200 to reinvent testing.

00:15:13.360 More than 115

00:15:14.140 million tests

00:15:15.280 have been done

00:15:15.700 to date.

00:15:16.660 We were able

00:15:17.120 to see to the delivery

00:15:18.200 of billions

00:15:19.320 of supplies

00:15:20.140 so our doctors

00:15:20.900 and nurses

00:15:21.320 had the resources

00:15:22.120 and support

00:15:22.560 they needed.

00:15:23.500 And we began

00:15:24.560 really before

00:15:25.440 the month of February

00:15:26.300 was art

00:15:26.720 to develop a vaccine

00:15:27.800 and to develop

00:15:28.940 medicines and therapeutics

00:15:30.240 that have been

00:15:30.540 saving lives

00:15:31.240 all along the way.

00:15:32.720 And under

00:15:33.100 President Trump's

00:15:33.720 leadership,

00:15:34.340 Operation Warp Speed,

00:15:35.460 we believe,

00:15:35.900 we'll have

00:15:36.320 literally tens of

00:15:37.900 millions of doses

00:15:38.620 of a vaccine

00:15:39.340 before the end

00:15:40.140 of this year.

00:15:41.220 The reality is

00:15:42.200 when you look

00:15:42.580 at the Biden plan,

00:15:43.540 it reads an awful lot

00:15:44.680 like what President

00:15:46.100 Trump and I

00:15:46.760 and our task force

00:15:47.540 have been doing

00:15:47.980 every step

00:15:48.940 of the way.

00:15:50.520 I mean,

00:15:50.760 quite frankly,

00:15:52.100 when I look

00:15:52.820 at their plan

00:15:53.420 that talks about

00:15:54.280 advancing testing,

00:15:56.080 creating new PPE,

00:15:57.280 developing a vaccine,

00:15:59.360 it looks a little

00:16:00.980 bit like plagiarism,

00:16:02.380 which is something

00:16:02.900 Joe Biden knows

00:16:03.680 a little bit about.

00:16:05.360 Oh, man,

00:16:06.960 Iron Mike

00:16:07.740 just absolutely

00:16:09.440 wrecking Biden

00:16:11.260 right there

00:16:11.780 at the end.

00:16:12.280 Joe Biden,

00:16:12.820 of course,

00:16:13.860 very famously,

00:16:15.040 infamously,

00:16:15.620 had to drop out

00:16:16.220 of the 1988

00:16:17.000 presidential race

00:16:18.620 because he was

00:16:19.340 plagiarizing his speeches.

00:16:21.620 So he gets that

00:16:22.580 in Kamala Harris.

00:16:23.260 She doesn't even

00:16:23.580 know what to say.

00:16:25.300 Then Mike

00:16:26.020 takes it further.

00:16:27.820 The vice president

00:16:28.800 says,

00:16:29.520 okay,

00:16:29.980 all right,

00:16:30.280 we've got all this.

00:16:30.960 We all agree

00:16:31.420 that our plan is great.

00:16:32.560 Thanks,

00:16:33.160 Biden and Harris.

00:16:33.780 I'm glad you agree.

00:16:34.960 So now we're about

00:16:35.520 to get this vaccine.

00:16:36.520 So Senator Harris,

00:16:37.740 you're going to take it?

00:16:39.160 You're so interested

00:16:40.720 in public health.

00:16:41.800 You're going to take

00:16:42.460 that vaccine,

00:16:43.100 right?

00:16:43.620 Right?

00:16:44.540 If the Trump

00:16:45.100 administration

00:16:45.720 approves a vaccine

00:16:46.660 before or after

00:16:47.620 the election,

00:16:48.700 should Americans

00:16:49.500 take it

00:16:50.460 and would you take it?

00:16:52.060 If the public

00:16:53.620 health professionals,

00:16:54.660 if Dr. Fauci,

00:16:56.140 if the doctors

00:16:57.720 tell us that

00:16:58.640 we should take it,

00:16:59.200 I'll be the first

00:16:59.680 in line to take it.

00:17:00.580 Absolutely.

00:17:01.300 But if Donald Trump

00:17:02.060 tells us that we should

00:17:03.280 take it,

00:17:03.560 I'm not taking it.

00:17:04.480 Oh,

00:17:04.980 it's so awkward.

00:17:06.080 So Pence is kind

00:17:07.240 of teeing this up

00:17:08.140 and then you get

00:17:08.960 the question

00:17:09.560 from the moderator,

00:17:10.700 which is,

00:17:11.340 okay,

00:17:11.680 well,

00:17:12.000 so are you going

00:17:12.700 to take it?

00:17:13.360 And she can't say yes.

00:17:14.800 Now we are told,

00:17:16.120 oh my gosh,

00:17:17.100 we are told

00:17:17.620 that we Republicans

00:17:18.900 are undermining

00:17:19.940 public health

00:17:20.760 and because we won't

00:17:21.900 wear these masks,

00:17:23.820 you know,

00:17:24.120 these dirty masks

00:17:25.180 that many epidemiologists

00:17:27.160 have said,

00:17:27.760 we read one just the other

00:17:28.680 day from Columbia,

00:17:29.600 have said people

00:17:30.040 are not using correctly,

00:17:31.420 right?

00:17:31.640 The guy from Columbia

00:17:32.360 who was speaking to NPR

00:17:33.260 said that the masks

00:17:34.300 fail in studies

00:17:35.520 because people

00:17:36.020 just aren't wearing

00:17:37.260 them,

00:17:37.520 right?

00:17:37.620 So that,

00:17:38.580 I guess she's going

00:17:39.160 to do that.

00:17:39.900 Obviously they're not

00:17:40.360 wearing masks

00:17:40.820 during the debate.

00:17:41.760 But then when the vaccine

00:17:43.940 comes out,

00:17:45.000 listen to the experts

00:17:45.620 of public health,

00:17:46.700 she won't commit

00:17:47.720 to taking it.

00:17:48.940 And Mike Pence

00:17:49.660 sees this opening

00:17:50.360 and takes it.

00:17:51.360 The reality is

00:17:52.480 that we're going

00:17:53.100 to have a vaccine,

00:17:54.760 Senator,

00:17:55.060 in record time,

00:17:56.200 in unheard of time,

00:17:57.540 in less than a year.

00:17:59.100 We have five companies

00:18:00.720 in phase three

00:18:02.320 clinical trials

00:18:03.260 and we're right now

00:18:04.560 producing tens

00:18:05.380 of millions of doses.

00:18:07.500 So the fact

00:18:09.300 that you continue

00:18:10.140 to undermine

00:18:10.980 public confidence

00:18:12.120 in a vaccine,

00:18:13.720 if the vaccine emerges

00:18:15.060 during the Trump

00:18:15.800 administration,

00:18:16.320 I think is

00:18:17.180 unconscionable.

00:18:19.120 And Senator,

00:18:19.560 I just ask you,

00:18:21.640 stop playing politics

00:18:22.820 with people's lives.

00:18:24.620 The reality is

00:18:25.880 that we will have

00:18:27.000 a vaccine,

00:18:27.600 we believe,

00:18:28.400 before the end

00:18:29.060 of this year.

00:18:29.700 and it will have

00:18:30.960 the capacity

00:18:31.840 to save

00:18:32.440 countless American lives

00:18:34.380 and your continuous

00:18:36.140 undermining

00:18:37.140 of confidence

00:18:38.780 in a vaccine

00:18:39.520 is just,

00:18:40.220 it's just unacceptable.

00:18:42.460 Mike Pence,

00:18:43.760 the silent killer.

00:18:45.600 You just don't know

00:18:47.040 when he's going

00:18:47.780 to sneak up on you.

00:18:49.100 The rest of the debate

00:18:49.940 went like that.

00:18:50.660 You get the picture.

00:18:51.980 In many ways,

00:18:53.200 watching this debate

00:18:53.980 was like getting

00:18:54.900 into a time machine

00:18:55.680 because this is how

00:18:57.060 all debates used to be.

00:18:58.620 And there was

00:18:59.540 something kind of

00:19:00.020 nice about it.

00:19:01.180 There was something

00:19:01.720 kind of nice

00:19:02.380 about this more

00:19:03.600 orderly format

00:19:04.480 and two politicians,

00:19:06.680 you know,

00:19:07.320 speaking in this

00:19:08.240 very manicured,

00:19:09.820 formal way

00:19:10.720 so that they could

00:19:12.180 get their hits in.

00:19:13.160 And you were just

00:19:13.900 much more familiar

00:19:14.540 with it.

00:19:15.400 President Trump

00:19:16.240 blows that up

00:19:17.300 because President Trump

00:19:18.060 doesn't talk in that way.

00:19:18.940 He hasn't been trained

00:19:19.620 in that way.

00:19:20.480 He doesn't know

00:19:20.960 exactly how the hits work.

00:19:22.740 And there's something

00:19:23.260 very refreshing

00:19:24.020 about that as well.

00:19:25.400 The contrast

00:19:26.560 of these two debates

00:19:27.960 is, I think,

00:19:29.680 an important one

00:19:30.520 because I don't know

00:19:33.140 exactly what kind

00:19:33.840 of country I want.

00:19:35.760 I think a lot of

00:19:36.640 conservatives

00:19:37.000 are feeling that way.

00:19:38.340 I mean, I know

00:19:38.740 what policy goals

00:19:39.600 I want.

00:19:40.080 I know what kind

00:19:40.760 of underlying

00:19:41.120 premises I want.

00:19:42.140 But I don't know

00:19:42.700 what kind of

00:19:43.060 political culture

00:19:43.800 I want.

00:19:44.240 Do I want

00:19:44.680 a political culture

00:19:45.580 that is like

00:19:46.720 the old model

00:19:47.740 where you couldn't

00:19:49.560 quite tell

00:19:50.100 what the politicians

00:19:50.760 were saying

00:19:51.320 because you knew

00:19:51.980 they were all

00:19:52.340 just jockeying

00:19:52.940 for position?

00:19:53.700 Or do I want

00:19:54.940 a political model

00:19:55.660 where people

00:19:56.200 actually just come

00:19:57.640 right out

00:19:58.020 and say what they

00:19:58.580 mean and it's

00:19:59.040 not always pretty

00:19:59.780 but hey,

00:20:00.400 we don't have

00:20:00.780 time for that.

00:20:01.320 We got big problems.

00:20:03.420 Which one do we want?

00:20:05.680 I don't think

00:20:06.220 it's very,

00:20:06.600 even the most

00:20:07.520 rah-rah conservatives

00:20:08.700 or even the most

00:20:10.380 establishment squishes.

00:20:11.680 I'm not sure

00:20:12.620 that it's very clear

00:20:13.960 right now

00:20:14.280 which they want.

00:20:15.000 It's why though,

00:20:15.820 I do know this,

00:20:16.520 there's one conclusion

00:20:17.160 I can draw.

00:20:17.980 The combination

00:20:19.120 of Trump and Pence

00:20:20.880 is absolutely killer.

00:20:22.960 It's just,

00:20:23.700 magnificent.

00:20:25.160 There was a lot

00:20:25.600 of talk early on.

00:20:26.400 They said,

00:20:26.580 well,

00:20:26.640 you've got to dump

00:20:27.220 Pence from the ticket.

00:20:29.700 Pence doesn't add anything.

00:20:30.920 Pence adds a lot.

00:20:32.660 That guy is a varsity level,

00:20:35.860 total pro politician

00:20:38.320 who knows how to work it,

00:20:40.200 who is smooth,

00:20:41.640 who has been in D.C.

00:20:42.920 obviously for considerably

00:20:44.080 longer than Donald Trump.

00:20:45.540 And then Trump adds

00:20:46.700 that populist pizzazz

00:20:48.440 who's actually punching

00:20:49.600 through the established norms.

00:20:51.040 That combination,

00:20:53.100 I don't know that we've

00:20:54.120 ever seen anything like it

00:20:55.400 in American politics.

00:20:56.660 It was tremendous.

00:20:58.700 You don't get to see

00:20:59.200 the Pence side of it so much

00:21:00.240 because he's silent.

00:21:01.260 He kind of works

00:21:01.800 a little bit more

00:21:02.440 in the background.

00:21:03.360 But you got a glimpse

00:21:03.920 of it last night.

00:21:04.500 That's very powerful.

00:21:05.580 Much, much better

00:21:06.400 than the Biden-Harris ticket.

00:21:08.620 Obviously,

00:21:09.060 I'm not even just talking

00:21:09.740 about policy.

00:21:10.540 As a matter of policy,

00:21:11.280 I much prefer the Trump ticket.

00:21:12.420 But even just as a matter

00:21:13.580 of political skill,

00:21:16.280 Harris does not add

00:21:17.540 very much to Joe Biden.

00:21:18.740 It was a mistake to pick her.

00:21:20.500 He backed himself

00:21:21.160 into a corner

00:21:21.760 because he chose

00:21:22.660 to be a racist

00:21:25.320 and a sexist, I guess,

00:21:26.400 to use their language, right?

00:21:28.280 He said,

00:21:29.000 my VP,

00:21:29.840 it's not going to be necessarily

00:21:30.820 the best person for the job.

00:21:32.220 It has to be a woman.

00:21:33.700 And it has to be

00:21:34.340 a woman of color.

00:21:35.480 And I don't want it

00:21:36.100 to be Elizabeth Warren,

00:21:36.960 so I'm going to take

00:21:37.460 Native Americans out of it.

00:21:38.420 And it's got to be this

00:21:39.160 and it's got to be that.

00:21:39.740 And he just chose

00:21:40.760 all these divisive categories

00:21:42.860 before he got to the person.

00:21:44.640 And then the two choices

00:21:45.660 that were left

00:21:46.180 at a prominent level

00:21:47.360 were Karen Bass,

00:21:49.680 who's a communist,

00:21:52.300 and she's the head

00:21:52.960 of the Congressional Black Talkers,

00:21:54.520 and Kamala Harris,

00:21:56.000 who's just not

00:21:56.660 a skilled politician

00:21:57.460 at that level.

00:21:58.620 At that level,

00:21:59.260 she's very weak.

00:22:00.640 He should have,

00:22:01.020 Biden should have gone

00:22:01.580 with Buttigieg

00:22:02.160 or Warren

00:22:03.360 or Klobuchar

00:22:04.020 or somebody like that.

00:22:05.560 He didn't do it

00:22:06.440 and it's probably,

00:22:07.660 probably going to hurt him.

00:22:09.320 By the end of the debate,

00:22:11.000 the spin doctors,

00:22:11.940 the only thing

00:22:12.940 that they could work with,

00:22:14.520 the only thing left

00:22:15.980 to attack the Republicans for

00:22:18.100 was that Mike Pence's wife

00:22:20.280 was not wearing a mask.

00:22:22.300 It was absolutely

00:22:23.180 a preposterous line of attack.

00:22:26.140 But that's what they do.

00:22:27.220 You know,

00:22:27.420 they try to just hone in

00:22:28.700 and see what your vulnerability is.

00:22:30.620 In this case,

00:22:31.220 there wasn't much vulnerability,

00:22:32.480 so they had to just go

00:22:33.240 for this very weak thing.

00:22:34.340 But a lot of people

00:22:34.940 are looking for your vulnerabilities

00:22:36.260 when you're on the internet.

00:22:37.920 Do you know

00:22:38.460 what big tech

00:22:39.260 and big government

00:22:39.780 have in common?

00:22:40.560 They both want to silence

00:22:42.100 any dissenting voices

00:22:43.280 into submission, okay?

00:22:46.120 So what they're going to do

00:22:47.540 is they're going to look

00:22:48.080 through all your data

00:22:48.760 and then the minute

00:22:49.980 that you say something

00:22:50.880 that's slightly out of line,

00:22:52.380 you're looking at things

00:22:53.500 that are slightly out of line,

00:22:54.500 they're going to flag you

00:22:55.480 and they're going to censor you

00:22:57.260 and they're going to try

00:22:58.180 to get you off

00:22:59.500 of these platforms.

00:23:00.620 To fight back

00:23:01.480 against having your voice censored,

00:23:03.880 I strongly recommend

00:23:05.000 ExpressVPN.

00:23:07.200 ExpressVPN encrypts

00:23:08.240 100%

00:23:09.500 of internet data

00:23:11.700 for protection

00:23:12.620 against hackers

00:23:13.800 and against eavesdroppers

00:23:15.380 and against those censors.

00:23:18.140 ExpressVPN is by far

00:23:19.300 the best VPN out there.

00:23:20.740 It is the VPN rated

00:23:21.600 number one

00:23:22.460 by CNET, Wired

00:23:23.340 and countless other

00:23:24.280 tech publications.

00:23:26.560 Very important.

00:23:27.400 I know that you think

00:23:28.240 no one's coming after your data

00:23:29.680 and nobody's looking

00:23:30.360 at your stuff.

00:23:31.200 They are.

00:23:32.300 We don't think about this

00:23:33.380 all the time.

00:23:34.020 Just turn it on,

00:23:34.940 let it be there

00:23:35.580 and then you can be protected

00:23:37.200 and have peace of mind.

00:23:38.080 Stop letting big tech

00:23:38.880 and big government censor

00:23:39.840 and track you.

00:23:40.920 Defend your rights.

00:23:52.600 The biggest attack line

00:23:54.860 on the left

00:23:55.360 from the debate,

00:23:56.200 at the end of the debate,

00:23:58.420 you have Kamala

00:23:59.820 and Biden are up there.

00:24:01.720 Kamala rather

00:24:02.440 and Mike Pence

00:24:02.960 are up there.

00:24:03.360 They obviously

00:24:03.720 are not wearing masks.

00:24:04.900 The moderator is up there.

00:24:06.100 She's not wearing a mask.

00:24:07.080 You have Kamala's husband

00:24:09.460 walks up to hug her

00:24:10.500 wearing a mask.

00:24:13.340 So lame.

00:24:15.340 So obviously expected.

00:24:17.400 And then Karen Pence,

00:24:18.180 who's a normal person,

00:24:19.100 gets up there

00:24:19.620 and kisses her husband

00:24:20.360 without having this

00:24:21.360 piece of cloth

00:24:22.340 in between her

00:24:23.760 and her husband.

00:24:24.920 The left was furious.

00:24:26.560 Also, his wife

00:24:27.280 did not wear a mask

00:24:27.980 when she was on stage

00:24:28.720 at the end.

00:24:29.320 Everybody other than

00:24:30.080 the candidates

00:24:30.500 and the moderator

00:24:31.000 were supposed to be

00:24:31.480 wearing a mask.

00:24:32.140 Karen Pence was not

00:24:32.840 wearing a mask

00:24:33.320 at the end.

00:24:33.820 It's bizarre.

00:24:34.780 You know what?

00:24:35.160 You could save lives

00:24:36.020 if you would do that

00:24:36.680 and you might in fact

00:24:37.540 be saving somebody's life

00:24:38.520 in the room right now

00:24:39.560 if in fact your husband

00:24:40.460 was exposed

00:24:41.100 to a COVID-infected person

00:24:42.620 in the past week,

00:24:43.360 which he was.

00:24:44.020 Yeah.

00:24:45.060 So let me just ask

00:24:46.420 a question of my doppelganger

00:24:47.600 over here from MSNBC,

00:24:48.820 Rachel Maddow.

00:24:50.060 She's saying that

00:24:50.820 if Karen Pence

00:24:52.840 had worn a mask

00:24:55.300 when she walked

00:24:56.840 directly to her husband

00:24:58.360 and kissed him,

00:24:59.660 she could have saved lives

00:25:01.100 because then she

00:25:02.660 wouldn't have exposed

00:25:04.880 herself to someone

00:25:05.560 who's been exposed

00:25:06.260 to someone

00:25:06.760 who had coronavirus

00:25:07.880 and even though

00:25:08.500 Mike Pence has tested

00:25:09.240 negative ever since

00:25:10.340 she was exposed

00:25:11.020 to someone,

00:25:11.340 he was exposed

00:25:11.800 to someone

00:25:12.060 with coronavirus,

00:25:12.740 that would have

00:25:13.180 saved lives.

00:25:15.100 Does Rachel Maddow

00:25:16.320 know that Mike

00:25:17.320 and Karen Pence

00:25:17.880 are married?

00:25:19.680 Does she know

00:25:20.520 that they're going

00:25:21.440 to see each other?

00:25:21.960 They're probably

00:25:22.260 going to drive home

00:25:22.840 together.

00:25:23.820 They're probably

00:25:24.600 going to walk

00:25:25.120 into their house

00:25:25.880 together.

00:25:26.720 I suspect

00:25:27.420 they're going

00:25:27.920 to get into bed

00:25:28.440 together and they're

00:25:29.660 not going to be

00:25:30.080 wearing masks

00:25:30.700 over their mouths

00:25:31.320 while they sleep.

00:25:34.500 In what bizarro

00:25:36.740 universe does a wife

00:25:38.820 kissing her husband

00:25:39.960 spread coronavirus?

00:25:43.860 But coronavirus

00:25:44.620 is not going

00:25:45.300 to be spread

00:25:45.680 by Mike Pence,

00:25:46.380 the guy who was

00:25:46.860 in contact

00:25:47.680 with President Trump.

00:25:49.040 It's not going

00:25:49.400 to be spread

00:25:49.720 by him not wearing

00:25:50.420 a mask.

00:25:50.800 It's just Karen Pence

00:25:51.780 and the moderator.

00:25:53.600 It's fine if she doesn't

00:25:54.300 and Kamala Harris.

00:25:55.040 It's fine if she doesn't.

00:25:56.180 It was so weak.

00:25:57.320 I don't think

00:25:57.900 even Rachel Maddow

00:25:58.660 believed that line

00:25:59.300 of attack.

00:25:59.680 They just had

00:26:00.800 nothing else.

00:26:01.380 They had one more

00:26:01.940 I'm sorry.

00:26:02.580 That's not true.

00:26:03.020 They had one more

00:26:04.340 line of attack

00:26:05.040 which was I guess

00:26:06.320 the DNC sent out

00:26:07.360 the talking points

00:26:08.060 right after the debate.

00:26:09.660 They probably wrote

00:26:10.160 them before the debate

00:26:11.000 to ABC,

00:26:12.780 to CNN,

00:26:13.560 to MSNBC.

00:26:14.960 The attack on

00:26:15.860 Mike Pence

00:26:16.940 because he won

00:26:17.840 every point on the merits

00:26:19.020 but he was

00:26:20.820 mansplaining.

00:26:22.320 Obviously Mike Pence

00:26:23.720 is a former

00:26:24.620 television commentator

00:26:25.540 does have a very

00:26:26.180 calm demeanor

00:26:27.120 but I think a lot

00:26:28.060 of people were noticing

00:26:28.880 some mansplaining

00:26:29.700 going on tonight.

00:26:30.800 I don't know

00:26:31.640 I didn't see it that way

00:26:32.820 George.

00:26:33.220 It didn't come across

00:26:34.040 to me.

00:26:34.520 This was a mansplainer

00:26:36.240 in chief.

00:26:36.760 I get it.

00:26:37.220 Mike mansplainer

00:26:38.620 all night.

00:26:38.920 I understand that.

00:26:39.560 One thing set out

00:26:40.320 to me is I will not

00:26:41.380 be lectured.

00:26:42.340 Senator Harris said

00:26:42.980 that multiple times.

00:26:44.400 Women hate to be

00:26:45.480 lectured by men

00:26:46.380 and she drove

00:26:47.540 that plane home.

00:26:48.540 It was a debate

00:26:50.980 to use Kamala Harris's

00:26:52.900 own words.

00:26:53.640 It's a debate.

00:26:54.340 That's where you

00:26:54.900 that's where you

00:26:55.700 lecture each other.

00:26:56.440 That's where you

00:26:56.880 make points

00:26:57.460 and you try to

00:26:58.180 explain things.

00:26:59.400 Total weak sauce.

00:27:00.540 I don't think even

00:27:01.280 these guys believe it.

00:27:02.800 You know Van Jones

00:27:03.680 especially not Van Jones

00:27:04.720 that guy's actually

00:27:05.340 intelligent I think

00:27:06.220 but he has to use

00:27:07.780 this line.

00:27:08.380 I guess the talking

00:27:08.960 points came down.

00:27:09.560 He's a mansplainer.

00:27:10.380 They wrote this one

00:27:11.360 obviously before the debate

00:27:12.420 as a last ditch effort

00:27:13.440 because by definition

00:27:14.880 anything Mike Pence

00:27:16.680 said in the debate

00:27:17.460 is mansplaining

00:27:18.260 because he's a man

00:27:19.120 and she's a woman

00:27:20.400 and that was the only

00:27:21.640 card that they had

00:27:22.860 to play.

00:27:23.900 Mansplaining is very good.

00:27:26.080 Girl understanding

00:27:26.900 is very good too

00:27:27.840 as my friend

00:27:29.380 Andrew Klavan says.

00:27:31.560 There's nothing wrong

00:27:32.840 with mansplaining.

00:27:34.400 Men are perfectly

00:27:35.280 perfectly entitled

00:27:36.400 to speak.

00:27:38.980 I'm sorry if that

00:27:40.080 offends Kamala Harris

00:27:41.180 and I'm sorry if

00:27:42.160 Kamala Harris is not

00:27:43.180 quite as skilled

00:27:44.380 at speaking

00:27:44.920 or not as in command

00:27:46.200 of the facts

00:27:46.900 or not as able

00:27:48.320 to defend her

00:27:49.540 utterly indefensible

00:27:50.860 positions.

00:27:52.320 Because the left

00:27:53.120 is indefensible

00:27:53.860 they've got no good

00:27:54.820 arguments to get people

00:27:56.360 to vote for them

00:27:57.100 in 2020

00:27:58.040 so now

00:27:59.260 they've

00:28:00.040 they've

00:28:00.720 truly

00:28:01.280 devolved

00:28:02.420 decayed

00:28:03.220 become debased

00:28:04.100 the usual

00:28:06.340 insufferable

00:28:07.080 celebrity PSA

00:28:08.020 has now become

00:28:08.660 even yuckier

00:28:09.340 because you have

00:28:09.960 all of these

00:28:10.540 some

00:28:11.440 frequently washed up

00:28:12.960 celebrities

00:28:13.460 left-wingers

00:28:14.920 going out

00:28:15.380 and saying

00:28:15.600 you gotta vote

00:28:16.040 you gotta vote

00:28:16.460 you gotta vote

00:28:16.840 but this time

00:28:17.680 you wanna hear

00:28:18.040 the hook

00:28:18.400 this time

00:28:19.300 they're all naked

00:28:20.880 I'm completely

00:28:22.920 butt-ass

00:28:23.800 naked

00:28:24.200 I'm naked

00:28:24.860 I'm like

00:28:25.520 naked

00:28:25.960 there isn't a man

00:28:27.040 behind me

00:28:27.720 these are my hands

00:28:29.220 why you want me

00:28:30.540 to be naked

00:28:31.100 I know what you're

00:28:32.260 thinking

00:28:32.540 you're thinking

00:28:33.180 Ruffalo

00:28:33.800 put your clothes on

00:28:35.300 to be honest

00:28:36.000 I wish I could

00:28:36.800 cover my hands

00:28:38.420 with my boobs

00:28:39.200 but here we are

00:28:40.160 I'm here to talk

00:28:40.760 to you about voting

00:28:41.540 did you know

00:28:42.460 that ballots

00:28:43.320 could be naked

00:28:44.200 and if you don't

00:28:45.000 do exactly

00:28:45.640 what I tell you

00:28:46.500 your ballot

00:28:47.040 could get thrown out

00:28:48.260 this is my ballot

00:28:49.820 just got it

00:28:50.780 first of all

00:28:51.740 when your ballot

00:28:52.340 comes

00:28:52.820 you're supposed

00:28:53.280 to read

00:28:53.840 the instructions

00:28:54.560 read

00:28:55.140 and follow

00:28:56.080 the instructions

00:28:56.840 that come

00:28:57.620 with your ballot

00:28:58.760 if they say

00:28:59.360 to use a black pen

00:29:00.300 use a black pen

00:29:01.260 I know that's like

00:29:02.120 literally the least

00:29:03.260 sexy thing

00:29:04.080 a completely

00:29:04.560 naked person

00:29:05.280 could say

00:29:05.780 but

00:29:06.080 but I have

00:29:08.620 crumb like

00:29:09.320 can of Pepsi

00:29:10.220 is problem

00:29:11.520 our founding fathers

00:29:15.160 roll over in their

00:29:16.080 graves

00:29:16.540 because the left

00:29:18.020 is kind of hilariously

00:29:19.220 depicting what they

00:29:20.620 warned us all against

00:29:21.660 you know the

00:29:22.720 the founding fathers

00:29:23.920 had deliberative

00:29:25.700 discussion

00:29:26.300 they had substantive

00:29:27.640 debate

00:29:28.160 the federalist papers

00:29:29.380 were op-eds

00:29:30.260 that were written

00:29:31.020 to debate the

00:29:31.860 constitution

00:29:32.420 but they all said

00:29:33.700 they said you know

00:29:34.260 if

00:29:34.540 if license

00:29:35.820 takes over

00:29:36.480 licentiousness

00:29:37.360 if people just

00:29:38.280 give over to their

00:29:38.960 base passions

00:29:39.820 we're not going to

00:29:40.840 be able to have

00:29:41.320 self-government

00:29:41.880 you need to be

00:29:42.260 in control of your

00:29:43.000 passions to have

00:29:43.780 self-government

00:29:44.340 and so what do

00:29:44.780 these people do

00:29:45.200 they say we're all

00:29:45.740 naked

00:29:46.060 we're all naked

00:29:46.840 come vote for us

00:29:47.760 credit where

00:29:48.320 credit's due

00:29:48.860 Sarah Silverman

00:29:50.120 looks a lot better

00:29:50.800 than I think any

00:29:51.360 of us expected

00:29:51.920 okay I'm willing

00:29:52.680 I want

00:29:53.080 I don't want to be

00:29:53.920 totally one-sided

00:29:55.660 here

00:29:55.920 we were

00:29:56.380 a lot of people

00:29:56.980 were surprised by that

00:29:57.900 however

00:29:58.740 however

00:29:59.460 the PSA

00:30:01.440 was completely

00:30:02.000 unconvincing

00:30:02.900 and really off-putting

00:30:04.040 and really

00:30:04.560 really gross

00:30:05.860 not even gross

00:30:06.640 because those people

00:30:07.900 generally don't look

00:30:08.700 very good

00:30:09.140 but gross

00:30:09.920 because you think

00:30:10.600 gosh this is how

00:30:11.320 debased

00:30:11.880 our politics

00:30:13.000 has become

00:30:14.060 a quick update

00:30:15.600 on the Trump

00:30:16.200 COVID stimulus plan

00:30:17.960 I told you this

00:30:19.740 yesterday

00:30:20.120 I predicted it

00:30:20.880 I believe I was

00:30:21.620 the only person

00:30:22.440 yesterday to

00:30:23.100 call this

00:30:23.760 when everybody

00:30:24.720 was freaking out

00:30:25.860 they were all

00:30:26.300 so upset

00:30:27.160 that President Trump

00:30:28.560 said that he was

00:30:29.940 not going to

00:30:30.540 negotiate a COVID

00:30:31.520 relief deal

00:30:32.260 until after the

00:30:33.180 election

00:30:33.540 he said

00:30:34.560 sorry Nancy

00:30:35.100 you're offering

00:30:35.840 me 2.4 trillion

00:30:36.800 I'm saying 1.6 trillion

00:30:37.880 no deal

00:30:38.660 we're just going to

00:30:39.180 focus on Barrett

00:30:39.920 we'll do it

00:30:40.320 after the election

00:30:40.860 all these conservatives

00:30:41.940 said no

00:30:42.380 what are you doing

00:30:43.040 you're losing

00:30:43.560 you're crazy

00:30:44.160 don't do it

00:30:44.560 and I said

00:30:45.200 yesterday

00:30:45.600 I said

00:30:46.320 guys

00:30:46.700 I'm not even

00:30:47.220 going to take

00:30:47.620 him at face value

00:30:48.400 here

00:30:48.740 because I think

00:30:49.840 this is just

00:30:50.320 a negotiating tactic

00:30:51.320 well

00:30:51.880 not 24 hours

00:30:53.520 later

00:30:53.840 turns out

00:30:54.740 that seems

00:30:55.260 to be the case

00:30:55.700 Trump tweets

00:30:56.660 out yesterday

00:30:57.120 if I am sent

00:30:57.900 a standalone bill

00:30:58.760 for stimulus checks

00:30:59.640 1200 bucks

00:31:00.680 they will go out

00:31:01.780 to our great people

00:31:02.420 immediately

00:31:02.820 I'm ready to sign

00:31:03.580 now

00:31:03.780 are you listening

00:31:04.400 Nancy

00:31:04.780 move fast

00:31:05.840 I'm waiting to sign

00:31:06.600 at Speaker Pelosi

00:31:07.480 so this was

00:31:09.600 this was a negotiating

00:31:11.160 tactic

00:31:11.580 we'll see if it happens

00:31:12.680 either way

00:31:13.140 I think it kind of

00:31:13.700 works for him

00:31:14.140 Trump's put himself

00:31:14.760 in a bit of a win-win

00:31:15.720 situation

00:31:16.760 but

00:31:18.180 very

00:31:19.860 very good news

00:31:21.320 art of the deal

00:31:22.140 shows you most people

00:31:23.040 still not catching it

00:31:24.460 even you know

00:31:25.000 President Trump

00:31:25.760 has let us in now

00:31:26.560 I mean if you're

00:31:27.020 if you're paying

00:31:27.560 close attention to Trump

00:31:28.480 you realize

00:31:28.900 this is the kind

00:31:29.700 of thing he does

00:31:30.320 but a lot of people

00:31:31.260 still I think

00:31:31.920 they're they're just

00:31:32.940 not used to it

00:31:33.680 and it's why

00:31:34.400 by the way

00:31:34.900 that Trump

00:31:35.680 strategy

00:31:36.360 is usually

00:31:37.760 more effective

00:31:38.500 than the Pence

00:31:39.400 strategy

00:31:39.840 even if the Pence

00:31:40.520 strategy

00:31:40.900 is much cleaner

00:31:42.040 and when you put

00:31:42.620 them both together

00:31:43.260 you got a really

00:31:44.000 dynamite ticket

00:31:44.720 this is an art

00:31:47.600 politics is not

00:31:48.560 just merely a science

00:31:49.880 people you always

00:31:51.320 hear about political

00:31:51.980 science and universities

00:31:53.020 and things like that

00:31:53.720 but politics

00:31:54.520 is is a little bit

00:31:56.380 more an art

00:31:57.400 and you know

00:31:58.180 that I love art

00:31:58.820 I especially love

00:31:59.620 the portrait

00:32:00.020 that I just got

00:32:00.560 from paintyourlife.com

00:32:02.000 I just got it

00:32:02.500 yesterday

00:32:02.900 paintyourlife.com

00:32:04.420 I've told you

00:32:05.040 about them now

00:32:05.780 for years at this

00:32:07.040 point

00:32:07.260 you get a professional

00:32:08.300 hand-painted portrait

00:32:09.520 created from any

00:32:10.700 photo at a very

00:32:12.380 very affordable

00:32:13.400 price

00:32:13.880 and it's hand-painted

00:32:14.760 I have mine done

00:32:15.460 in oil

00:32:15.860 they have other

00:32:16.540 options as well

00:32:17.260 so I tried this out

00:32:18.860 sweet little Lisa

00:32:19.760 and I decided

00:32:20.360 to have a portrait

00:32:21.220 done of my mother

00:32:22.040 from an old photograph

00:32:22.880 that we had

00:32:23.500 we send it in

00:32:24.620 I can't get over it

00:32:27.000 I cannot get over

00:32:28.040 how incredible

00:32:29.240 this portrait is

00:32:30.260 you can see it

00:32:30.720 I posted a photo

00:32:32.680 of it on my

00:32:34.000 Instagram

00:32:34.400 so you can go

00:32:34.820 to instagram.com

00:32:35.520 slash michaeljknolls

00:32:36.360 you can see this

00:32:37.080 photo of this

00:32:39.020 portrait

00:34:14.460 I know I'm running

00:34:14.980 late but I have

00:34:15.700 to point this out

00:34:16.460 a guy from Media

00:34:17.180 Matters

00:34:17.640 yesterday

00:34:18.040 posts this long

00:34:19.640 long thread

00:34:20.480 about how

00:34:21.900 after RBG

00:34:22.920 died

00:34:23.380 he listened

00:34:23.860 to AOC

00:34:24.560 and he knew

00:34:25.660 there's someone

00:34:26.180 in your life

00:34:26.940 who you've got

00:34:27.820 to get

00:34:28.280 to vote

00:34:29.480 in this election

00:34:30.240 and it's your

00:34:30.660 job to do it

00:34:31.460 and he's been

00:34:31.780 filled with anxiety

00:34:32.660 and for him

00:34:33.540 it's his 94 year

00:34:34.520 old grandmother

00:34:35.000 and it goes

00:34:35.320 on and on

00:34:36.020 and on

00:34:36.300 and on

00:34:36.560 and it just

00:34:36.880 it never ends

00:34:38.060 this whole long

00:34:38.760 thread

00:34:39.140 but then

00:34:40.420 finally at the end

00:34:41.320 he says

00:34:42.680 I told her

00:34:43.120 to vote

00:34:43.440 for Republicans

00:34:44.180 that a vote

00:34:44.620 for Republicans

00:34:45.140 was a vote

00:34:45.620 that would harm

00:34:46.540 me and my future

00:34:47.440 I told her

00:34:48.080 I was scared

00:34:48.680 and today

00:34:49.280 my grandmother

00:34:49.800 promised me

00:34:50.360 she would vote

00:34:50.740 for Joe Biden

00:34:51.440 she told me

00:34:52.120 I'm the love

00:34:52.480 of her life

00:34:52.840 she wouldn't

00:34:53.180 break her promise

00:34:54.140 I'm still crying

00:34:55.540 I had never

00:34:56.660 called her crying

00:34:57.400 but I did today

00:34:58.100 I'm still crying

00:34:58.920 please call your

00:34:59.440 loved ones

00:34:59.880 the long and short

00:35:02.080 of it is

00:35:02.340 a grown man

00:35:03.160 who works

00:35:04.280 for Media Matters

00:35:05.100 called his grandmother

00:35:06.240 and cried

00:35:07.060 until she agreed

00:35:07.840 to vote for Biden

00:35:08.500 which is why

00:35:10.120 you know

00:35:12.140 I joke about

00:35:12.800 Media Matters

00:35:13.360 a lot

00:35:13.680 I joke about

00:35:14.360 our official

00:35:15.280 Daily Wire

00:35:15.720 intern

00:35:16.100 Jason Campbell

00:35:16.800 who works

00:35:17.740 for Media Matters

00:35:18.700 who does all

00:35:19.320 my publicity

00:35:19.900 he breaks out

00:35:20.620 my clips

00:35:20.960 and things

00:35:21.200 like that

00:35:21.500 but I try

00:35:23.140 not to be

00:35:23.940 very mean

00:35:24.500 to them

00:35:24.780 I try not

00:35:25.120 to be cruel

00:35:25.720 some people

00:35:26.900 who

00:35:27.240 Media Matters

00:35:28.060 exists to get

00:35:28.800 me and other

00:35:29.480 people fired

00:35:30.040 but I try not

00:35:31.180 to be cruel

00:35:31.520 to them

00:35:31.740 because these

00:35:32.060 are extremely

00:35:32.820 broken people

00:35:33.680 obviously

00:35:34.600 I mean this guy

00:35:35.280 is like crying

00:35:36.100 to his 94

00:35:36.900 year old

00:35:37.260 grandmother

00:35:37.700 I mean

00:35:38.700 these people

00:35:39.860 some of them

00:35:40.300 have put videos

00:35:40.880 on the internet

00:35:41.340 like talking

00:35:42.280 about how

00:35:42.900 not broken

00:35:43.760 they are

00:35:44.220 but they're

00:35:44.600 obviously like

00:35:45.240 these are people

00:35:48.200 who have

00:35:48.600 troubles

00:35:49.020 and it just

00:35:50.680 makes me think

00:35:51.420 of a view

00:35:51.720 of politics

00:35:52.240 where

00:35:52.560 you can go

00:35:54.720 you can totally

00:35:55.560 knock these guys

00:35:56.320 you can have

00:35:56.960 fun

00:35:57.780 you can hit them

00:35:58.960 and just

00:36:00.220 kill them with

00:36:01.260 kindness

00:36:01.580 that is kind

00:36:02.840 of my view

00:36:03.500 of it

00:36:03.780 that's what

00:36:04.480 Mike Pence

00:36:04.920 did last night

00:36:05.540 at the debate

00:36:06.000 he killed them

00:36:07.120 with kindness

00:36:07.620 he killed them

00:36:08.860 in a way

00:36:10.100 that was very

00:36:10.600 civilized

00:36:11.220 and I think

00:36:11.680 a lot of us

00:36:12.260 liked it

00:36:12.640 I would like

00:36:14.000 to institute

00:36:15.160 more of that

00:36:15.720 in my personal

00:36:16.340 behavior

00:36:16.740 and I would

00:36:18.880 like to see

00:36:19.280 more of that

00:36:19.780 in the country

00:36:20.280 unfortunately

00:36:20.960 if the left

00:36:21.560 doesn't relent

00:36:22.200 then we're

00:36:23.080 going to need

00:36:23.380 more Trumps

00:36:24.680 we're going to need

00:36:25.080 more Trump strategies

00:36:25.940 which is a little

00:36:26.640 less soft

00:36:28.180 a little less

00:36:29.820 gentle

00:36:31.040 some of the

00:36:32.400 older strategies

00:36:33.600 also have to

00:36:34.380 point out

00:36:34.780 before we get

00:36:35.960 to the mailbag

00:36:36.440 someone just died

00:36:37.960 last week

00:36:38.700 that would be

00:36:39.500 the grandson

00:36:40.060 of President

00:36:40.820 John Tyler

00:36:41.560 John Tyler

00:36:42.580 was the 10th

00:36:43.560 President of the

00:36:44.120 United States

00:36:44.600 he was President

00:36:45.720 from 1841

00:36:46.680 to 1845

00:36:47.620 and his grandson

00:36:49.240 just died

00:36:50.280 last week

00:36:51.460 his grandson

00:36:52.340 Lyon Gardner

00:36:53.580 Tyler Jr.

00:36:54.820 died September 26th

00:36:56.460 175 years

00:36:57.440 after his grandfather

00:36:58.100 left office

00:36:58.760 he was the son

00:36:59.420 of Lyon Gardner

00:37:00.660 Tyler Sr.

00:37:02.280 who was born

00:37:02.780 in 1853

00:37:03.720 when his father

00:37:04.880 who was born

00:37:05.380 in 1790

00:37:06.360 was 62

00:37:07.040 obviously

00:37:07.900 John Tyler

00:37:08.560 and John Tyler's son

00:37:09.560 both had kids

00:37:10.700 when they were

00:37:11.000 very late in life

00:37:11.680 I mention that

00:37:13.380 to remind you

00:37:14.080 this is a young country

00:37:15.460 country was founded

00:37:17.280 officially in 1776

00:37:18.400 so when we talk

00:37:19.720 about unprecedented

00:37:20.440 breaking all the norms

00:37:21.420 this is a very young country

00:37:22.460 we still don't know

00:37:23.120 how it's going to settle

00:37:23.780 we haven't been around

00:37:24.460 for a long time

00:37:25.440 it's still a fragile institution

00:37:26.860 difficult to preserve

00:37:28.640 and those are going to be

00:37:29.580 stakes in this election

00:37:30.420 let's get to the mailbag

00:37:31.320 from Dan

00:37:31.820 do you think

00:37:32.980 at this point

00:37:33.600 Joe Biden

00:37:34.100 is the presidential equivalent

00:37:35.560 of the Affordable Care Act

00:37:36.900 just like we were told

00:37:38.340 we had to pass the act

00:37:39.680 to find out what was in it

00:37:41.100 the same is now true

00:37:42.600 with Joe Biden

00:37:43.520 yes Joe Biden

00:37:44.700 is speaking out of both sides

00:37:45.660 of his mouth

00:37:45.960 it's very clear

00:37:46.400 he says I would never

00:37:47.020 ban fracking

00:37:47.580 I absolutely will ban fracking

00:37:49.020 I'm not going to go

00:37:50.140 after charter schools

00:37:50.940 I absolutely will go

00:37:52.060 after charter schools

00:37:52.740 so you just

00:37:53.140 you don't know

00:37:53.940 what you're going to get

00:37:54.520 with him

00:37:54.920 because I don't think

00:37:56.160 he knows what he's

00:37:56.700 going to get with him

00:37:57.280 he unlike the Affordable Care Act

00:37:59.160 which actually

00:37:59.800 no no actually

00:38:01.160 I'll correct myself

00:38:01.980 the Affordable Care Act

00:38:02.840 is a good analogy

00:38:03.700 because the Affordable Care Act

00:38:05.520 even though it was

00:38:06.520 seven billion pages long

00:38:07.500 didn't include

00:38:08.720 most of the specifics

00:38:10.080 about the law

00:38:10.660 because what the Affordable Care Act

00:38:11.680 did was just empower

00:38:12.880 the deep state

00:38:13.700 it empowered the

00:38:14.360 administrative agencies

00:38:15.360 the bureaucracy

00:38:16.300 to write most of these regulations

00:38:18.420 well same thing with Joe Biden

00:38:20.160 that's what he's going to do

00:38:20.800 he's going to

00:38:21.180 if he gets into office

00:38:22.140 God forbid

00:38:22.600 he gets in

00:38:23.440 he's just going to empower

00:38:24.220 the bureaucrats

00:38:24.980 to make all of the decisions

00:38:26.020 which is a very bad thing

00:38:27.860 and it's a bad thing

00:38:30.020 not just because of the uncertainty

00:38:31.080 but really because of the certainty

00:38:32.760 because we know

00:38:33.700 that that is going to take the country

00:38:34.860 in a much more leftward direction

00:38:36.800 from Elizabeth

00:38:38.280 do you think Pope Francis

00:38:39.600 will praise the peace deals

00:38:40.760 made in the Middle East

00:38:42.280 between Israel

00:38:43.340 and those various countries

00:38:44.420 you know

00:38:44.920 the Holy Father

00:38:45.980 doesn't consult me

00:38:46.900 on these things

00:38:47.660 so I don't know

00:38:50.260 I couldn't make a prediction

00:38:51.860 obviously

00:38:52.820 a lot of conservatives

00:38:54.300 are not too happy

00:38:55.220 with the Pope

00:38:56.000 because he has said

00:38:57.100 many left wing things

00:38:58.820 he has appeared to be

00:38:59.660 very critical of the president

00:39:00.940 sometimes he's been taken

00:39:01.940 out of context

00:39:02.580 by journalists

00:39:03.620 but then that raises the question

00:39:04.740 why is he still talking

00:39:05.540 to these journalists

00:39:06.460 to always take him

00:39:07.080 out of context

00:39:07.700 the issue here

00:39:09.920 that I would always recommend

00:39:11.280 to conservatives

00:39:12.020 even when we're talking

00:39:13.080 about Pope Francis

00:39:13.800 is a little bit of caution

00:39:15.180 because

00:39:16.680 the Catholic Church

00:39:19.400 and European history

00:39:21.940 generally

00:39:22.520 European history

00:39:23.300 which is shaped

00:39:23.960 by the Catholic Church

00:39:26.080 is not quite as simple

00:39:28.700 as our understanding

00:39:29.960 of conservatism

00:39:30.980 and liberalism

00:39:31.580 and left and right

00:39:32.220 today in America

00:39:33.060 we have a much narrower

00:39:35.620 understanding of those things

00:39:37.200 but when you

00:39:37.620 when you open it up

00:39:39.020 over time

00:39:39.740 and you look at

00:39:41.580 historical context

00:39:43.260 things get a little bit

00:39:44.780 broader

00:39:45.160 and more complicated

00:39:46.120 I mean just even

00:39:47.540 in America

00:39:48.100 probably this is changing now

00:39:49.520 but it was true

00:39:50.040 maybe for the past 10 years

00:39:51.140 you would say someone

00:39:52.580 who is very very libertarian

00:39:54.200 is very very conservative

00:39:55.540 but for most

00:39:57.060 of the history

00:39:57.860 of our civilization

00:39:58.600 someone who is

00:39:59.560 very very libertarian

00:40:00.400 would be considered

00:40:00.860 very very liberal

00:40:01.560 or very much on the left

00:40:03.360 even our understanding

00:40:04.480 of left and right

00:40:05.080 are products

00:40:05.480 of the French Revolution

00:40:06.480 which is very very modern

00:40:07.660 so I just urge

00:40:09.320 a bit of caution

00:40:09.940 conservative thought

00:40:13.040 western civilization

00:40:15.900 western culture

00:40:16.660 is much broader

00:40:18.220 than the ideological categories

00:40:19.860 that we are talking about

00:40:21.160 today

00:40:21.920 from Aiden

00:40:22.540 I've been pondering

00:40:23.680 this question for a while

00:40:24.660 I was wanting

00:40:25.500 your take on this

00:40:26.400 a lot of conservatives

00:40:27.420 state that the majority

00:40:28.340 of the country

00:40:29.100 supports Trump

00:40:29.760 but what exactly

00:40:30.580 is the proof

00:40:31.060 how can one prove

00:40:32.180 that the majority

00:40:32.720 of the country

00:40:33.160 is in fact for Trump

00:40:34.200 a simple conversation

00:40:35.840 with the leftist

00:40:36.480 they of course say no

00:40:38.260 they point to the polls

00:40:39.140 how Trump lost

00:40:39.720 the popular vote

00:40:40.520 in 2016

00:40:41.060 even though I think

00:40:42.000 that those votes

00:40:42.780 were faked

00:40:43.280 well some of them

00:40:44.200 might have been

00:40:44.580 you know

00:40:44.780 but I don't know

00:40:46.060 if all 2 million

00:40:46.920 or however many

00:40:47.540 were faked

00:40:47.920 thank you for your time

00:40:49.480 and all that you do

00:40:50.240 it depends what you mean

00:40:52.620 by the country

00:40:53.460 the majority of the country

00:40:55.940 does support

00:40:57.020 Donald Trump

00:40:58.000 in the sense

00:40:59.680 that we are

00:41:00.180 the United States

00:41:00.980 of America

00:41:01.480 we are not

00:41:03.200 the individuated

00:41:04.740 people of America

00:41:05.720 without any distinction

00:41:07.220 by geography

00:41:07.940 or by state

00:41:08.620 we are not

00:41:09.840 the simple

00:41:10.800 national government

00:41:11.600 of America

00:41:12.200 without any

00:41:13.380 subsidiary

00:41:14.000 or federalism

00:41:14.820 we're the United States

00:41:16.020 of America

00:41:16.440 the way the presidential

00:41:17.880 vote is tallied

00:41:19.120 is through the

00:41:19.600 electoral college

00:41:20.460 which has a relation

00:41:21.620 to the popular vote

00:41:22.500 but it is not

00:41:24.100 identical with

00:41:24.680 the popular vote

00:41:25.360 so the majority

00:41:26.400 of the country

00:41:27.160 such as it is

00:41:28.840 elects Trump

00:41:30.320 and supports Trump

00:41:31.180 the majority

00:41:32.520 of the individuals

00:41:33.220 did not vote for Trump

00:41:34.640 but the country

00:41:36.340 is more than just

00:41:37.160 the individuals

00:41:37.840 and this is a point

00:41:39.000 that conservatives

00:41:40.200 have been a little bit

00:41:41.020 weak on

00:41:41.440 for the past 20 years

00:41:42.280 because of the influence

00:41:43.280 of libertarianism

00:41:44.140 we have thought

00:41:46.160 that because the left

00:41:47.060 is for big government

00:41:47.960 and collectivism

00:41:48.960 and socialism

00:41:49.760 we have thought

00:41:50.720 that the best way

00:41:51.420 to fight that

00:41:52.120 is to be for

00:41:53.560 individualism

00:41:54.960 there's a role

00:41:56.300 obviously for the individual

00:41:57.460 in an opposition

00:41:58.560 to the left

00:41:59.320 but that's not

00:42:00.480 the whole story

00:42:01.260 actually

00:42:02.260 if you say

00:42:03.880 that the individual

00:42:04.580 is the basic unit

00:42:05.640 of society

00:42:06.120 rather than say

00:42:06.820 the family

00:42:07.500 or the local community

00:42:08.660 you're giving the left

00:42:10.660 their premise

00:42:11.440 because the left

00:42:11.940 says the same thing

00:42:12.660 that the individual

00:42:13.680 is the basic unit

00:42:14.400 of society

00:42:14.960 socialists say

00:42:16.520 the same thing

00:42:16.960 communists say

00:42:17.520 the same thing

00:42:18.000 fascists actually

00:42:19.020 say the same thing

00:42:19.860 now those are all

00:42:20.740 different political

00:42:21.420 ideologies right

00:42:22.280 but they all share

00:42:23.660 that basic premise

00:42:24.480 that destroys

00:42:26.140 the mediating institutions

00:42:27.260 that destroys

00:42:28.120 the individual states

00:42:29.180 and the local communities

00:42:29.960 and especially the family

00:42:31.060 and the churches

00:42:31.640 and the civic associations

00:42:32.820 and it has the individual

00:42:34.080 and then libertarians say

00:42:35.020 we want the individuals

00:42:36.020 to stand on their own

00:42:36.880 and the left wingers say

00:42:38.260 and the fascists

00:42:38.980 for that matter

00:42:39.460 say we want the individuals

00:42:40.980 to be bound up together

00:42:42.080 fascism means

00:42:42.840 like a bundle

00:42:43.420 a bundle of sticks

00:42:44.280 we want them all

00:42:45.540 to be bound up together

00:42:46.300 in the state

00:42:47.000 and both of those guys

00:42:49.180 get it wrong

00:42:50.120 because the correct answer is

00:42:52.380 the individual

00:42:53.720 the individual is

00:42:53.840 not the atomic unit

00:42:55.520 of society

00:42:56.060 the family is

00:42:57.160 within the context

00:42:58.700 of mediating institutions

00:43:00.020 and local government

00:43:01.420 and civic associations

00:43:02.640 and churches

00:43:03.780 that's the basic unit

00:43:06.560 and it's much much tougher

00:43:08.100 for political demagogues

00:43:10.540 to come in

00:43:10.960 and take power

00:43:11.500 from that

00:43:12.540 from that structure

00:43:13.740 of subsidiarity

00:43:14.540 and federalism

00:43:15.200 much tougher

00:43:16.500 it's much

00:43:18.300 this is why

00:43:19.080 as libertarianism

00:43:20.980 has advanced

00:43:21.520 leftism has advanced too

00:43:23.140 because they're not opposites

00:43:24.240 they're actually two sides

00:43:24.960 of the same coin

00:43:25.540 so I think we've got to

00:43:27.220 stop thinking

00:43:27.840 about the essential unit

00:43:30.820 of the country

00:43:31.320 as individuals

00:43:32.740 of course individuals

00:43:34.140 have unique dignity

00:43:35.900 they have so much to add

00:43:38.920 and we need to support

00:43:39.660 individualism

00:43:41.000 in as much as it speaks

00:43:41.800 to human dignity

00:43:42.420 but as a political unit

00:43:44.280 we have to pay much

00:43:45.560 much much more attention

00:43:46.460 to the state government

00:43:47.520 to the local government

00:43:48.900 and especially

00:43:50.160 to the family

00:43:51.300 from Chris

00:43:52.260 on your show

00:43:53.580 the other day

00:43:54.060 you talked about

00:43:55.220 your support

00:43:55.620 for capital punishment

00:43:56.460 I did

00:43:56.920 as a fellow Catholic

00:43:57.900 I'm conflicted

00:43:58.520 on my support

00:43:59.000 for the death penalty

00:43:59.720 due to the church's

00:44:00.840 opposition to it

00:44:01.760 not so fast there

00:44:03.760 but let's get the rest

00:44:04.680 of your question

00:44:05.020 then I'll answer

00:44:05.480 how do you justify

00:44:06.640 your support

00:44:07.360 of the death penalty

00:44:08.000 along with your faith

00:44:08.800 I'm not asking

00:44:09.760 as a gotcha

00:44:10.320 I'm genuinely interested

00:44:11.480 in your thought process

00:44:12.380 since this is something

00:44:13.320 I've always been

00:44:13.820 confused about

00:44:14.440 yeah I think

00:44:15.600 in recent years

00:44:17.700 the church has been

00:44:18.580 very confusing

00:44:19.360 sent out messages

00:44:20.240 that are

00:44:21.380 that are

00:44:22.180 difficult to parse

00:44:23.880 and in some cases

00:44:24.860 perhaps

00:44:25.280 even contrary

00:44:26.580 to

00:44:27.480 the history

00:44:28.920 of the church

00:44:30.200 and church's

00:44:30.800 traditional teaching

00:44:31.540 the death penalty

00:44:34.040 is perfectly legitimate

00:44:35.940 as Pope Benedict XVI

00:44:38.100 said just a few years ago

00:44:39.320 there can be

00:44:40.160 legitimate disagreement

00:44:41.260 among Catholics

00:44:42.860 faithful Catholics

00:44:43.920 on the death penalty

00:44:45.260 Pope John Paul II

00:44:46.780 said the same thing

00:44:47.680 though he was very

00:44:48.380 anti-death penalty

00:44:49.400 some of his predecessors

00:44:51.360 were not so

00:44:51.920 anti-death penalty

00:44:52.680 Blessed Pope Pius IX

00:44:55.560 not only supported

00:44:56.760 the death penalty

00:44:57.360 he carried out

00:44:58.620 many capital punishments

00:45:00.380 in the papal states

00:45:01.820 so was Blessed Pius IX

00:45:04.060 who is on his way

00:45:05.520 to canonization

00:45:06.300 did he commit

00:45:07.620 this intrinsically

00:45:08.400 evil act

00:45:09.120 and permit it

00:45:09.820 no I don't think so

00:45:11.420 Thomas Aquinas

00:45:12.860 defends

00:45:13.800 the death penalty

00:45:14.760 capital punishment

00:45:15.520 was Thomas Aquinas

00:45:16.580 doctor of our church

00:45:17.580 one of the greatest

00:45:18.740 theologians ever

00:45:19.560 to live

00:45:20.040 was he

00:45:21.080 advocating intrinsic

00:45:23.120 evil

00:45:23.540 no

00:45:24.720 St. Paul

00:45:26.080 who says that

00:45:26.780 the civil authority

00:45:27.840 wields the sword

00:45:29.000 for a reason

00:45:29.800 does not wield it

00:45:30.520 in vain

00:45:30.940 was he

00:45:33.220 teaching intrinsic

00:45:34.600 evil

00:45:34.920 in the New Testament

00:45:36.920 I don't think so

00:45:38.240 I don't think so

00:45:40.460 there

00:45:41.680 you'll notice

00:45:42.740 by the way

00:45:43.080 even the recent

00:45:43.660 statements of

00:45:44.260 the present

00:45:45.840 father

00:45:46.400 holy father

00:45:46.980 do not use

00:45:48.520 the phrase

00:45:48.820 intrinsic evil

00:45:49.480 they say that

00:45:50.840 it's inadmissible

00:45:52.160 or sort of

00:45:52.940 you know

00:45:53.160 it's a little

00:45:53.860 confusing

00:45:54.880 but won't use

00:45:55.840 the phrase

00:45:56.100 intrinsic evil

00:45:56.600 because that

00:45:56.920 would be

00:45:57.160 indefensible

00:45:57.680 that would be

00:45:58.100 contrary to

00:45:58.620 scripture

00:45:58.860 and contrary

00:45:59.720 to 2000 years

00:46:01.000 of church teaching

00:46:01.700 so no

00:46:02.620 the church

00:46:03.520 may have

00:46:04.560 as the catechism

00:46:05.260 states

00:46:05.560 and has stated

00:46:07.100 now for a couple

00:46:07.600 decades at least

00:46:08.440 a prudential

00:46:09.740 opposition

00:46:10.380 as a practical

00:46:12.300 matter

00:46:12.680 they don't like it

00:46:13.700 and discourage it

00:46:14.980 but it is not

00:46:16.780 against the moral

00:46:17.500 teaching of the

00:46:17.980 catholic church

00:46:18.540 to say that the

00:46:19.640 death penalty

00:46:20.440 can be legitimate

00:46:21.420 and so

00:46:22.020 I have no problem

00:46:23.320 reconciling my faith

00:46:24.320 and my political

00:46:24.880 views on that

00:46:25.480 because they're

00:46:26.340 very much

00:46:26.820 in line

00:46:27.700 from Jesse

00:46:29.140 one last question

00:46:29.720 before we go

00:46:30.240 I've noticed

00:46:31.240 that you haven't

00:46:31.920 given us

00:46:32.640 a new pithy name

00:46:33.620 for the novel

00:46:34.120 coronavirus

00:46:34.520 in recent weeks

00:46:35.320 so I thought

00:46:36.720 I would give you

00:46:37.540 a suggestion

00:46:38.040 for one

00:46:38.460 I think we should

00:46:39.020 call the disease

00:46:39.680 the Zhijin Plague

00:46:41.280 in honor of the man

00:46:42.520 slash willy-nilly

00:46:43.400 silly old bear

00:46:44.240 whose fault

00:46:45.240 this pandemic

00:46:46.040 truly is

00:46:46.980 it's a great name

00:46:48.160 the Zhijin Plague

00:46:49.440 I

00:46:50.540 on that note

00:46:51.420 I can't do better

00:46:52.040 than that

00:46:52.460 on that note

00:46:53.340 I'm Michael Knowles

00:46:53.900 this is the Michael Knowles

00:46:54.460 show I'll see you
