They actually did it. They did it. We joked about them doing it, and then they did it.
00:00:05.820
We all joked about how the Democrats were going to pull a Kavanaugh and accuse Judge Amy Coney
00:00:12.640
Barrett of sexual harassment during her Supreme Court nomination hearings. We didn't think it
00:00:17.020
was going to actually happen, right? But then they actually did it. Since you became a legal
00:00:23.120
adult, have you ever made unwanted requests for sexual favors or committed any verbal
00:00:28.840
or physical harassment or assault of a sexual nature? No, Senator Hirono. Have you ever faced
00:00:34.720
discipline or entered into a settlement related to this kind of conduct? No, Senator.
00:00:41.100
There are many jokes to be made here. I am going to refrain from making them. Actually,
00:00:46.200
I guess the Democrats themselves are the joke because the confirmation hearings only went
00:00:51.900
downhill from there. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:00:58.840
Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment from yesterday from Weston, who says the worst
00:01:09.340
thing about Klobuchar is her voice. It sounds like she's constantly on the brink of tears.
00:01:14.720
That's fair enough, but it's still better than Cory Booker, who constantly is in tears. So at least
00:01:21.780
with Klobuchar, you know, there's just maybe it's something about the vocal quality. But with Booker,
00:01:26.360
my goodness gracious, Spartacus was nearly crying tears of rage the whole time and maybe a few
00:01:31.520
droplets popped out. We will get to him as well. It was a very bad day for Democrats. It did not look
00:01:39.620
good at all. Look, anything could change. They might have some big trick up their sleeve today,
00:01:45.160
but it seemed as though for most of the hearings, the Democrats had just sort of given up. You know,
00:01:50.760
I know that we're all on eggshells here with these Supreme Court nominations. This is the issue in
00:01:57.320
the presidential election, at least for right now. And we thought that Judge Barrett was going to have
00:02:03.280
a close shave in there, but, but she did not. If you do want a close shave, however, I would recommend
00:02:08.320
you check out Harry Razors. Harry's Razors is the best I've ever used. Okay. I've, I just started using
00:02:15.420
Harry's, I'm going to say about a month ago, maybe a month and a half ago. And I've tried a bunch of
00:02:21.000
razor brands on my, these are the best, not even close. They've just come out with their sharpest
00:02:25.900
blades ever. Unlike some other razor companies, they are not charging you for their product
00:02:31.080
improvements. Harry's new sharper blades are still as low as $2 each. Now, if you're using some of the
00:02:38.640
big names that have been around for a long time, you're probably paying significantly more than that
00:02:43.140
for each razor. How do they do it? Harry's owns a German factory. They've been making razor blades
00:02:48.260
for 100 years. They source their steel from Sweden and they own the entire manufacturing process from
00:02:55.160
the R&D to the factory floor. This allows them to keep prices low. Your eighth shave is as sharp as
00:03:02.280
your first. How is that possible? I couldn't tell you, but they stand by it with a hundred percent
00:03:06.660
quality control guarantee. Harry's is available wherever you shop. You can get Harry's
00:03:12.840
sharpest blades ever at the big box drug and grocery stores near you. You just head on over
00:03:18.060
to the grooming aisle. And by the way, if you like to shop online, Harry's has a great offer for
00:03:22.340
listeners to my show. Go to get a Harry's trial set at harrys.com slash Knowles, K-N-W-L-E-S. You
00:03:29.540
get a five blade razor featuring their newer sharper blades, a weighted handle, foaming shave gel
00:03:34.360
with aloe, and the travel cover to protect your blade when you're on the go. By the way, you're going
00:03:38.700
to like, you're going to like the price that you have to pay. All right. You're not even going to
00:03:42.360
feel like you're, you're paying anything. You're not, you're not going to feel that way. Go to
00:03:45.800
harrys.com slash Knowles, redeem your trial offer today. So Senator Hirono opens up the hearings by
00:03:56.540
asking Judge Amy Coney Barrett, mother of seven, Catholic law professor, appellate judge, if she has
00:04:05.740
sexually harassed anybody. And the weird sex questions only got weirder from there. Democrats
00:04:13.020
really do have an obsession with sex here. They have an obsession with sex in the way that a fourth
00:04:19.820
grader has an obsession with sex. It's all they can think about. They can't raise their minds to
00:04:24.800
higher things. So the next question from Senator Hirono involves same sex marriage, the redefinition
00:04:33.460
of marriage, which occurred in this country, not through the legislatures, not through some
00:04:39.240
persuasion that, that we citizens had amongst one another. It's because Justice Anthony Kennedy
00:04:45.280
decided to redefine the fundamental political and social institution from the bench. And Maisie Hirono
00:04:53.020
is very worried that Judge Barrett does not agree with Justice Kennedy's romantic poetry.
00:04:58.900
This morning, Senator Feinstein asked you a question about the Supreme Court's 2015 decision
00:05:04.760
in Obergefell v. Hodges, a case in which the court recognized the constitutional right to same-sex
00:05:10.940
marriage. And I was disappointed that you wouldn't give a direct answer on whether you agreed with the
00:05:15.700
majority in that case, or if you instead agree with your mentor, Justice Scalia, that no such right
00:05:21.440
exists in the Constitution. Obviously, no such right exists in the Constitution. Does anybody seriously
00:05:28.320
believe that James Madison and Alexander Hamilton thought that what was going into that Constitution
00:05:34.400
was the fundamental redefinition of marriage for the first time in human history to not have
00:05:39.940
something to do with sexual difference, to not have something to do with the difference between men
00:05:43.260
and women? No, nobody thinks that. Does anybody seriously believe at the time the Constitution was
00:05:49.320
ratified, the public meaning of that document was that they were going to fundamentally redefine
00:05:54.480
marriage as now no longer having anything to do with sexual difference? No, nobody seriously believes
00:06:00.920
that. Does anybody seriously believe that in, I don't know, 1998, anybody believe the Constitution
00:06:09.360
fundamentally redefined marriage? How about 2008? How about 2012? Barack Obama in 2012 still did not support
00:06:17.380
gay marriage as any sort of political right, as any sort of legislative issue, certainly not as any
00:06:24.400
kind of constitutional issue. At least in his public speech. Maybe he was lying to us. Maybe in his
00:06:30.340
mind, he really did support it. But at the very least, I think we all have to admit, nowhere does
00:06:35.740
the Constitution redefine marriage. So what happens? Some robed lawyers on the Supreme Court decided to
00:06:41.680
take that issue away from the people and our self-government and fundamentally redefine it, which
00:06:47.560
follows perfectly in line with Justice Kennedy's jurisprudence when in Planned Parenthood v. Casey,
00:06:52.280
he said that we have the right to define our own conception of existence. We have the right to
00:06:58.460
redefine reality. Sure, if you can redefine reality, certainly you can redefine marriage. Amy Barrett
00:07:05.700
handles these questions very well, smacks them down, obviously isn't going to comment on individual
00:07:10.720
cases. Then Senator Hirono gets very, very upset because Barrett is dealing with this so well she's
00:07:17.920
not taking the bait. But Judge Barrett used a very, very offensive term. Do you know what that term
00:07:24.140
was? Drum roll. Sexual preference. Not once, but twice. You use the term sexual preference to describe
00:07:35.820
those in the LGBTQ community. And let me make clear, sexual preference is an offensive and outdated term.
00:07:44.740
It is used by anti-LGBTQ activists to suggest that sexual orientation is a choice. It is not.
00:07:53.840
Sexual orientation is a key part of a person's identity. That sexual orientation is both a normal
00:08:01.020
expression of human sexuality and immutable was a key part of the majority's opinion in Obergefell,
00:08:08.920
which, by the way, Scalia did not agree with. So if it is your view that sexual orientation is
00:08:14.660
merely a preference, as you noted, then the LGBTQ community should be rightly concerned whether
00:08:23.920
you would uphold their constitutional right to marry. I knew that Senator Hirono was a hack. I didn't know
00:08:32.880
that she was illiterate. I didn't know that she doesn't understand the basic meaning of words.
00:08:38.180
There is nothing offensive about the term preference. Sexual preference is the most precise term that we
00:08:46.860
can use to discuss these sexual issues that Senator Hirono is talking about. And there's nothing in it
00:08:53.500
that suggests that a preference is a free choice. Preferences can be innate. Preferences can come to us
00:09:00.440
from our very little childhood. I have had a preference for chocolate chip cookies over oatmeal
00:09:06.760
raisin cookies for as long as I can remember. I did not freely choose this preference. I did not
00:09:13.180
wake up one day and say, today I am now going to choose to prefer chocolate chip cookies. How about
00:09:18.700
ice cream? People have preferences. Do you like chocolate ice cream or vanilla ice cream?
00:09:21.820
I assume you didn't choose that preference. You didn't sit and intellectually decide, okay,
00:09:28.040
I am going to be a vanilla guy. That's what I'm going to prefer. No, your preferences are just that.
00:09:33.940
Actually, this is the difference between a preference and an opinion. Often though, this is one of my pet
00:09:40.080
peeves, but the left does this all the time. They don't know what an opinion is either. So for instance,
00:09:44.760
they'll say, well, these are the facts and everything else is just your opinion. As if to say opinions are
00:09:50.800
unreasonable, but opinions are not unreasonable. Opinions are statements of fact from our point
00:09:55.420
of view. So I form an opinion using my faculties of reason. Opinions can be true and some opinions
00:10:02.580
are false, but we can debate opinion because they're, they're actually referring to objective
00:10:08.460
fact. There's a third option, which is preference and you can't debate preference.
00:10:14.300
Degustibus non disputandem est is a Latin phrase, which means there's no arguing over taste. There's
00:10:22.740
no accounting for taste. I can't say to you, excuse me, Johnny, you're completely mistaken.
00:10:29.180
Vanilla is much more delicious than chocolate. I can try to make some arguments, but ultimately
00:10:33.500
that question is coming down to a question of taste and preference. There is, talk about Democrats
00:10:40.200
reaching. They, now they're begging, they're trying to redefine this term, which is perfectly
00:10:46.840
innocuous and perfectly precise because they ain't got nothing on judge Amy Coney Barrett. So finally,
00:10:53.920
once Senator Hirono stopped embarrassing herself at the Senate, Dianne Feinstein, who sometimes
00:11:00.380
embarrasses herself, but is at least more impressive than, than Macy Hirono. She got up and she talked about
00:11:05.840
the sexual question that the Democrats actually talk about the, the ones that they actually want
00:11:10.080
to, to know about, which is not sexual preferences. It's not even the redefinition of marriage.
00:11:15.840
It is whether or not we're all going to continue to pretend that the constitution protects the right
00:11:20.340
to kill a baby. Dianne Feinstein goes directly after Roe.
00:11:24.820
Do you agree with justice Scalia's view that Roe was wrongly decided?
00:11:29.620
So Senator, I do want to be forthright and answer every question so far as I can. I think
00:11:36.760
on that question, I, you know, I'm going to invoke Justice Kagan's description, which I think
00:11:42.220
is, um, perfectly put. When she was in her confirmation hearing, she said that she was not
00:11:47.540
going to grade precedent or give it a thumbs up or a thumbs down. And I think in an area where precedent
00:11:52.860
continues to be pressed and litigated, as is true of Casey, it would be particularly, um,
00:11:59.060
it would actually be wrong and a violation of the canons for me to do that as a sitting
00:12:03.080
judge. Um, so if, if I express a view on a precedent one way or another, whether I say
00:12:08.440
I love it or I hate it, it signals to litigants that I might tilt one way or another in a pending
00:12:15.500
So on something that is really a major cause with major effect on over half of the population
00:12:24.760
of this country who are women, after all, it's, it's distressing not to get a straight
00:12:35.020
Let me try again, since I have no idea what you just said, Judge Barrett. And if you could
00:12:41.300
please tone down the vocabulary here to, I don't know, maybe, maybe a second or third grade
00:12:46.240
level, maybe I could understand it. You almost feel bad for Senator Feinstein listening to that
00:12:51.600
exchange because what Amy Barrett does is she doesn't just say, it's my right not to
00:12:55.880
say how I would rule on cases, which is fair enough. She doesn't owe Dianne Feinstein an
00:13:00.280
answer on any case, but she actually goes further and she says, you know, because these cases
00:13:04.440
are hotly contested, I, I can't tell you which way I'm leaning on this because if I were to
00:13:12.120
do that, then that would signal to the litigants some of my preferences and that would actually
00:13:16.800
change the course of justice. So she's making a really positive case for why she can't answer
00:13:22.220
these questions. The smarter senators decided just to move on. And, and unfortunately they
00:13:27.600
had nothing to move on to. So you had these wacky scenes, probably the wackiest scene yesterday
00:13:32.600
was a democratic Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, who with a name like Whitehouse, I've always
00:13:39.380
wondered why this guy wasn't going to run for president. Why wouldn't you run for president?
00:13:43.940
He's been in the Senate for a long time. His last name is Whitehouse. You're, you're ready
00:13:48.020
to go. Right. But then he opened his mouth yesterday during these hearings. And I realized
00:13:51.940
why probably not the most viable presidential candidate. He went on and just tried out some
00:13:59.880
convoluted conspiracy theories involving dark money. What is the scheme here? Let me start
00:14:10.180
with this one. In all cases, there's big anonymous money behind various lanes of activity. One
00:14:20.520
lane of activity is through the conduit of the Federalist Society. It's managed by a guy,
00:14:25.760
was managed by a guy named Leonard Leo, and it's taken over the selection of judicial nominees.
00:14:32.720
How do we know that to be the case? Because Trump has said so over and over again. His Whitehouse
00:14:39.200
Council said so. So we have an anonymously funded group controlling judicial selection run
00:14:47.660
by this guy, Leonard Leo. Then in another lane, we have, again, anonymous funders running through
00:14:54.660
something called the Judicial Crisis Network, which is run by Carrie Severino, and it's doing
00:15:02.040
PR and campaign ads for Republican judicial nominees. So by the end of this presentation,
00:15:11.340
he's basically just Charlie Day at the conspiracy board, like, yeah, and then this connects to that,
00:15:16.240
and this connects to that, and where's Pepe Silvia? There's no point that he ever gets to. There's no
00:15:21.460
point. Okay, so there are conservative donors who fund organizations, and the organizations
00:15:27.660
influence some of the judicial conservative movement. Okay, you know, the left has that too.
00:15:36.080
I mean, the left here. Hey, here's one. Molly Hemingway posted this yesterday. This is from
00:15:39.800
the Americans for Public Trust. Here's Sheldon Whitehouse's dark money. Okay, so where's the
00:15:44.360
dark money? You've got Sheldon Whitehouse over here, and then you've got Arabella Advisors. You got
00:15:49.340
some money coming out of there. Then you got a guy named Eric Kessler. Then you got the Center for
00:15:53.700
American Progress, and you got the Democracy Alliance. You got George Soros here. He's funding
00:15:57.060
that. You got Tom Steyer. He's funding that. Then all the money flows there. Okay, is that,
00:16:01.100
so, does that mean Sheldon Whitehouse is an illegitimate senator? No, big politics attracts
00:16:06.440
big money. No surprise there. I was speaking to Senator Cruz yesterday. We covered a little bit of
00:16:11.720
this on the Verdict podcast. He pointed out to me that of the 20 top political donors, 14 of them
00:16:19.720
give almost exclusively to Democrats. Another three of them give to both sides, and then only three
00:16:26.360
give mostly to Republicans. So, if the Democrats really want to open this dark money door, fine by
00:16:32.260
me, most, the vast majority of the dark money is going to Democrats. But the point here from Sheldon
00:16:39.200
Whitehouse is not to expose anything about money. Nothing he said implies anything illegal whatsoever.
00:16:44.860
However, it's to delegitimize the court. It's to delegitimize this nominee so that they can try to
00:16:51.300
stack it later. It's a cynical tactic, but overall, probably the best card they had to play.
00:16:57.900
And when they ran out of that, we could rely on Corey Spartacus Booker to cry tears of rage, not
00:17:04.340
about Judge Barrett, but about President Trump. He didn't even try, really, to go after Judge Barrett.
00:17:12.360
What you saw, I would say, as a general rule here is that these guys were just not prepared. Now,
00:17:20.400
you will want to be prepared, and there's no better time than to do it right now with ReadyWise. You
00:17:25.300

00:18:07.140
we got some here at the office, and one of my producers, I said, what happened to all the
00:18:11.640
ReadyWise? Where is that? Where's it go? And he was eating it for lunch every day because they
00:18:15.740
actually taste very, very good. And you get the added benefit then of them having a shelf life

00:18:43.220
Cory Booker, Spartacus, was not prepared with any dirt on Judge Barrett. So he went straight at
00:18:50.360
Trump. Specifically, he asked Judge Barrett about President Trump's refusal to say that he would
00:18:57.500
peacefully transfer power if he loses the election. I appreciate what you've said about respecting our
00:19:03.140
founding fathers, about the originalism. It's remarkable that we're at a place right now that
00:19:07.980
this is becoming a question and a topic. But I'm asking you, in light of our founding fathers,
00:19:15.280
in light of our traditions, in light that everyone who serves in that office has sworn an oath
00:19:21.420
where they, quote, swear to preserve and protect and defend the Constitution of the United States,
00:19:26.180
I'm just asking you, should a president commit themselves, like our founding fathers, I think,
00:19:32.640
have a clear intention, like the grace that George Washington showed, to the peaceful transfer of
00:19:39.120
power? Is that something that presidents should be able to do? Do you think that the president has
00:19:43.260
the power to pardon himself for any past or future crimes he may have committed against the United States
00:19:50.060
of America? Well, Senator Booker, that would be a legal question. That would be a constitutional
00:19:54.480
question. And so in keeping with my obligation not to give hints, previews or forecasts of how it
00:20:00.160
resolved the case, that's not one that I can answer. Well, I think I agree with you that it is an issue right
00:20:06.360
now, something I never thought would be an issue before. But it is an issue. Yeah, I agree with you,
00:20:12.200
Judge Barrett. Yeah, isn't Trump terrible? Because he won't say that he'll peacefully transfer power.
00:20:16.540
You know, Trump, the guy who won in 2016, and then we refused to give up power. And you know,
00:20:23.640
then he was president, and we, the left, tried to overthrow his presidency, and we're continuing to
00:20:28.160
do that. You know, you know, that guy, why won't he? You know, the guy running against Democrats,
00:20:33.540
our party, which just said that Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances. That was,
00:20:39.480
that was Hillary Clinton, the previous Democrat presidential nominee. You know that guy? Yeah,
00:20:43.700
can you believe he won't transfer power? That's a stupid question. Trump should never answer that
00:20:47.600
question. Don't get, the minute you accept the premise of that question, you've already lost
00:20:52.900
the idea that you might not peacefully transfer power to the left, which has spent the last nine
00:20:59.260
months burning the country to the ground. So once he moves past that stupid hack talking point,
00:21:04.980
then he moves to another stupid hack talking point and asks Judge Barrett to condemn white supremacy.
00:21:10.820
I'm going to ask you some questions that if you had told me five years ago,
00:21:16.420
that would be questions asked at a Supreme Court nomination hearing, I would have thought they
00:21:22.020
wouldn't be possible. But unfortunately, I think they're necessary to ask you. And I hope that you'll
00:21:27.280
give me direct answers. The first one, you've already spoken towards issues of racism, how you deplore it.
00:21:33.820
But I want to just ask you very simply, and I imagine you'll give me a very short, resolute
00:21:38.420
answer. But you condemn white supremacy, correct? Yes.
00:21:45.040
Thank you. I'm glad to see that you said that. I wish our president
00:21:48.020
would say that so resolutely and unequivocally as well. But we are at a time
00:21:53.140
that Americans are literally fearful because their president
00:21:56.780
cannot do that in the resolute manner in which you did. I'm sorry that that question had to even
00:22:03.780
be asked at this time. I'm sorry. I don't want it to be asked, but it has to be asked. It has to be.
00:22:08.980
Judge Barrett, do you condemn the tooth fairy? Yes. Yes, Senator Booker. Okay. And Judge Barrett,
00:22:14.640
I have to ask this because this is such a real live issue, not a completely fake contrived issue.
00:22:19.240
Do you, do you condemn the Easter bunny? Sure. Senator Booker, I condemn the Easter. Okay. I have
00:22:25.300
to, I have to ask you that. I didn't know what your answer would be. Judge Barrett, who has two black
00:22:30.020
kids that you adopted from Haiti. I didn't know your answer because Trump, Trump won't condemn that
00:22:35.560
super real thing. That thing that's totally real, that millions of people support, you know,
00:22:40.940
white supremacy, you know, that thing that's totally real. He just won't, he won't condemn it.
00:22:47.060
Right. Mr. President, racism is evil. And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and
00:22:54.780
thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups that are
00:23:03.060
repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans. And you had people, and I'm not talking about the
00:23:09.500
neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally. We are a nation
00:23:15.040
founded on the truth that all of us are created equal. We are equal in the eyes of our creator.
00:23:23.680
We are equal under the law. And we are equal under our constitution. Those who spread violence in the
00:23:32.740
name of bigotry strike at the very core of America. How many times do I have to reject? I've rejected
00:23:39.740
David Duke, rejected David Duke. I've rejected the KKK, the Ku Klux Klan. From the time I'm five years old,
00:23:48.140
I rejected them. Now, I have been asked this question so many times. I have rejected it so many times.
00:23:53.600
I just wish he would give an answer. I just wish he could just tell us, what do you think about white
00:23:58.660
supremacy? You know, in this white supremacist country, that, you know, that real thing? You know,
00:24:04.260
what do you, so that's all they've got. They just make up a bunch of nonsense. And then Barrett
00:24:10.180
absolutely, of course, smacked it down. She smacked it down, by the way, without notes. This was maybe
00:24:17.200
the highlight of her performance at yesterday's hearing. She did it without notes. You are going
00:24:22.600
to want to take notes, however, at this wonderful conference that is coming up one week from today,
00:24:28.160
where the Daily Wire god king, Jeremy Boring, will be presenting alongside a team of world-renowned
00:24:35.420
business experts at Expert Ownership Live two-day virtual conference about leading through crisis.
00:24:41.260
The conference features a lineup of speakers like leadership author John Maxwell, the founders of
00:24:45.660
Duck Commander and Otterbox, the Benham Brothers, many others who can relate to what entrepreneurs and
00:24:50.260
leaders are going through right now. They will share stories about their own businesses and startup
00:24:54.660
journeys, the tough times that necessarily come with any company, even here at Daily Wire, even
00:25:00.360
actually when the business was doing well in a certain sense, there are these huge issues that
00:25:06.260
can come up that, that have threatened a lot of businesses, including our own. This conference is
00:25:10.400

00:25:38.480
off, expertownershiplive.com slash Knowles. Judge Barrett knocks it all down and does it without any
00:25:45.900
notes. A wonderful moment that was teed up by Texas Senator John Cornyn. You know, most of us have
00:25:52.140
multiple notebooks and notes and books and things like that in front of us. Can you hold up what
00:25:57.580
you've been referring to and answering our questions? Is there anything on it? That letterhead that says
00:26:05.360
United States Senate. That's impressive. Holds up a page from my own book, my own book,
00:26:12.820
Reasons to Vote for Democrats, A Comprehensive Guide. I think that's what that blank page was.
00:26:17.320
Speaking of which, by the way, this is just a little personal side note.
00:26:21.020
I am selling so many copies of this blank book, Reasons to Vote for Democrats, A Comprehensive
00:26:25.080
Guide, which President Trump called a great book for your reading enjoyment. I am selling so many
00:26:29.280
copies right now that I mention it not just to tell you how happy I am and to thank you for buying the
00:26:33.580
copies, but also to tell you I consider this like a secret poll of the election. The fact that all these
00:26:38.900
people are buying this joke on Democrats, it reminds me of some of these other kind of more
00:26:43.080
hidden poll numbers, right? Everyone says, oh, we all hate Trump. And yet 56% of Americans,
00:26:47.780
according to Gallup, say they're better off than they were four years ago. All these little,
00:26:51.680
little numbers, especially in swing states, are, seem to be very, very nice for the president.
00:26:56.280
But in any case, Judge Barrett, wherever she got her blank sheet of paper, she held it up. You have
00:27:01.620
senators here, the Democratic senators who could not even ask a question without notes. Their heads
00:27:09.160
were buried in their paper. Cory Booker was reading from the paper and he still messed up his delivery.
00:27:14.020
You have a Democratic presidential nominee who can't remember his own name. Can't, and we'll get to some
00:27:19.480
of his stumbles on the campaign trail in just a second. Can't remember much of anything. And then
00:27:24.440
you have our judicial nominee, Judge Barrett, who goes 12 hours yesterday without any notes.
00:27:34.040
The left, the Democrats, they don't have a chance against that. And so things are looking very good.
00:27:38.840
You don't want to count your chickens before they hatch. But right now it's looking very good for
00:27:44.140
Judge Barrett. We'll get more hearings today. We do have a lot to get to though, because actually I
00:27:49.500
felt the best Democratic arguments, or at least the most plausible, they weren't that plausible,
00:27:55.560
came from one of their presidential candidates who dropped out, who's not even in the Senate,
00:28:00.780
but he should be because he's much more impressive than all those other guys.
00:28:03.860
We will get to him in one second. If you haven't already heard though, Daily Wire's old glory
00:28:07.700
Daily Wire baseball bat is back. This is our limited edition, handcrafted, custom painted baseball bat
00:28:13.180
emblazoned with the DW logo. Since we relaunched this on Monday, they are almost all sold out.
00:28:18.560
Again, the first time we did it, it sold out in 48 hours, and it was only available to all access
00:28:22.720
in that case. Today is the last day they will be available. I don't even know if they're still
00:28:26.440
available right now, but you can try to get yours, okay? Try to get your number in. Text the keyword
00:28:32.640
baseball, B-A-S-E-B-A-L-L, to 83400. That's 83,400. 83400 to purchase your bat today. We'll be right back
00:28:48.560
The closest thing to convincing opposition I saw yesterday against Barrett came from someone who
00:29:03.600
wasn't even in the room. This was Pete Buttigieg, who the left, the left thinks he's making good
00:29:08.400
arguments because he says things in a calm way and he's sort of polished and has some nice academic
00:29:14.640
credentials. So they think that the arguments he's making are sound. They're not, but they kind of
00:29:20.040
have the sound of soundness. And so they're calling him Slayer Pete on Twitter. It's kind of lame. It's
00:29:27.100
not going to stick. So Mayor Pete, Alfred E. Newman, that was the nickname that Trump gave him. He goes
00:29:32.580
on MSNBC and makes an argument against not just Barrett, but against her judicial philosophy of
00:29:40.440
originalism. This is what nominees do. They write the most seemingly unobjectionable, dry stuff. But
00:29:49.460
really what I see in there is judicial, a pathway to judicial activism cloaked in judicial humility.
00:29:58.040
At the end of the day, rights in this country have been expanded because courts have understood
00:30:04.360
what the true meaning of the letter of the law and the spirit of the Constitution is. And that is not
00:30:12.840
about time traveling yourself back to the 18th century and subjecting yourself to the same prejudices
00:30:20.160
and limitations as the people who write these words. The Constitution is a living document because
00:30:25.300
the English language is a living language. And you need to have some readiness to understand that
00:30:31.400
in order to serve on the court in a way that's actually going to make life better.
00:30:36.660
So nothing he just said is true and everything is extraordinarily radical,
00:30:41.160
but because he's saying it in a calm way, it seems almost plausible. He contradicts himself
00:30:45.260
immediately, right? He says, look, what I see here, Judge Barrett is talking about how she just wants to
00:30:51.640
read the text by what the words actually mean and what they were understood to mean at ratification.
00:30:56.320
That's judicial activism, okay? Because for decades now, the court has been expanding rights
00:31:03.720
based on how they know the truth and the spirit of the Constitution. So some judge writing in 2015
00:31:13.020
knows better than what the Constitution says than the people who wrote the Constitution and the people
00:31:19.680
who were alive at the time of ratification who wrote about the Constitution. Well, that's madness.
00:31:24.020
How on earth could you make that argument? Well, he says, because it's a living, breathing document.
00:31:28.760
Now, just as a simple matter, it is not living. It's dead. It's on dead paper. It's on dead trees
00:31:34.080
with dead ink. And it's not breathing. It's paper. And paper doesn't breathe. So it's not a living,
00:31:39.080
breathing document. He says, but the meaning of it changes as the English language changes.
00:31:43.500
So for instance, let's say that there's a law against murder. You cannot commit murder.
00:31:53.780
And then the word murder, because language changes over time, comes to mean not killing somebody
00:32:00.260
intentionally, but eating chocolate ice cream. That's just the new, I don't know, it's kind of a
00:32:04.240
weird way language evolved, but now for some reason murder means eating chocolate ice cream. Does that
00:32:08.980
mean that it is illegal for me to eat chocolate ice cream? Of course not. Could you imagine the chaos
00:32:15.780
that our laws would be subjected to, that our entire system of government would be subjected to
00:32:19.820
if we had to interpret statutes by what words mean at any given time? By the way, who's, who's
00:32:26.320
supposed to define how the words mean as they are changing? The reason we have linguistic
00:32:32.300
prescription, namely saying you should use, you should use words as they are defined is because
00:32:40.380
if you have linguistic description, meaning you should use words as whatever the way kind of
00:32:45.360
people are using them now, people use words differently. Now the, the, the, the very nature
00:32:51.680
of language changing means that at the moment, right now, as, as the meaning is somewhat unclear,
00:32:56.680
we can't arrive at a, at a specific meaning, which is Buttigieg's point is what he really wants to do
00:33:03.200
is just empower judges to impose their will on the language. Pete Buttigieg, who pretends to be a
00:33:08.020
moderate, his father was an, a radical academic. He was the president of the International Gramsci
00:33:15.480
Society. Antonio Gramsci is the, a first self-described cultural Marxist. He was the leader of the Italian
00:33:22.820
communist party and he wrote very pretty interesting texts actually about how Marx got certain things
00:33:29.340
wrong and we need to apply the Marxist revolutionary concepts to the culture, to take over institutions
00:33:35.040
and wage a war of position rather than a war of maneuver. This would later be interpreted by the
00:33:39.540
radicals of the sixties as the long march through the institutions, basically melding the language of
00:33:44.780
Mao and the language of Gramsci. Buttigieg's dad was such an admirer of Gramsci that he was a co-founder
00:33:51.800
and president of the International Gramsci Society. Okay. This guy is coming from a very radical
00:33:57.380
intellectual perspective, which comes down to, and Gramsci, by the way, is, is one of the major
00:34:02.000
influences on what we now call political correctness. Well, what Buttigieg is talking about
00:34:05.660
is political correctness, right? He's just saying, yeah, we're going to redefine words to mean whatever
00:34:09.100
we want them to mean. And then however we define them conveniently, that's what we're going to read
00:34:13.760
into the constitution. He then tries to defend this by, by citing Thomas Jefferson.
00:34:19.800
It was actually Thomas Jefferson himself who said that we might as well ask a man to still wear the
00:34:27.080
coat which fitted him when he was a boy, as expect future generations to live under what he called
00:34:32.960
the regime of their barbarous ancestors. So even the founders that these kind of deadhand originalists
00:34:41.380
claim fidelity to understood better than their ideological descendants, today's judicial
00:34:47.240
so-called conservatives. The importance of keeping with the times. And we deserve judges and justices
00:34:54.240
who understand that. What Thomas Jefferson was referring to, you don't need a crystal ball,
00:34:59.500
you can just read the rest of his writing. What he's referring to is not how future generations
00:35:04.100
should redefine basic language and usurp the power of the people to define how they're going to live.
00:35:12.920
He's talking about the amendment process. Nobody says we should live under exactly the same
00:35:17.220
constitution that they had in the 18th century. They're, they're saying, yeah, we should change
00:35:22.540
it with the times. Even Antonin Scalia said he wished it were even easier to change the constitution,
00:35:27.300
but there is a process. It's called the amendment process. But Buttigieg knows his radical ideas would
00:35:31.440
never make it through the amendment process. So instead he just wants to steal power. Even Buttigieg,
00:35:37.100
who's, I guess, the most articulate of the democratic players right now, who's coming out,
00:35:42.360
nothing. He's offering nothing. He's offering just spurious, ridiculous arguments. So Barrett did
00:35:47.900
very well. We're going to hear more from her today. The way you know that this is not going very well
00:35:52.620
for Democrats is that even the mainstream media are trying to change course here. Nancy Pelosi was on
00:36:00.460
talking to Wolf Blitzer on CNN and, you know, CNN just carries water for Democrats all the time.
00:36:06.520
But on this issue of, of the current process, Wolf Blitzer actually cut her off. And Nancy Pelosi
00:36:15.500
became so enraged. She accused them of shilling for the Republicans.
00:36:19.100
Even members of your own caucus, even members of your own caucus, Madam Speaker,
00:36:26.600
want to accept this deal. $1.8 trillion. Congressman Ro Khanna, for example.
00:36:31.360
Let me just, let me just quote Ro Khanna, a man, you know, well, I assume you admire him. He's a
00:36:36.460
Democrat. And he just said this. He said, people in need can't wait until February. $1.8 trillion
00:36:42.800
is significant. And more than twice the Obama stimulus, make a deal, put the ball in McConnell
00:36:49.440
court. So what do you say to Ro Khanna? What I say to you is, I don't know why you're always an
00:36:54.740
apologist. And many of your colleagues, apologists for the Republican position. Ro Khanna, that's nice.
00:37:01.740
That isn't what we're going to do. And nobody's waiting till February.
00:37:06.420
CNN, they're apologists for the Republican position. How can Nancy Pelosi say that with a
00:37:11.780
straight face? Not even Fox is apologizing and defending Republican positions anymore,
00:37:17.520
much less CNN. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? How does she say that? Because
00:37:23.940
occasionally they push back on Democrats and the Democrats are not used to that.
00:37:28.780
The thing you have to remember though, is that Wolf Blitzer and Nancy Pelosi want the same thing.
00:37:32.360
They want more government power and they want to spend more and more money and they want Democrats
00:37:36.880
to win elections. They want the same goals, but they're having a disagreement over tactics.
00:37:43.140
When the media and the left disagree, it's never over the end goal. When the media and conservatives
00:37:49.340
disagree, it's over the goals. It's over the vision of the country. It's over the politics,
00:37:54.460
but the political system rather. When the media and the left elected Democrats are disagreeing,
00:38:01.860
because obviously the media are the left, but when the media and elected Democrats are disagreeing,
00:38:05.080
it's over tactics, not politics. Pelosi is saying, I'm going to play hardball with Trump and maybe we
00:38:09.520
don't get a deal on COVID. Wolf Blitzer saying, damn it, you need a deal on COVID because
00:38:13.000
we're losing this election. So come on, Nancy, get your act together. It's like a little spat
00:38:19.340
between lovers. You know, they do want the same thing in the end, but there is disagreement now on
00:38:25.000
the left about how they go about that. They've got no answer. Joe Biden was asked about that Gallup
00:38:30.480
poll I referred to earlier. 56% of Americans say they're better off today than they were four years
00:38:34.940
ago. He was asked about what he would say to people who feel that way. Not only did he not have
00:38:41.800
an answer, it wasn't just that, he had the worst answer possible. Gallup reported last week,
00:38:47.940
56% of Americans said that they were better off today than they were four years ago, would have
00:38:53.580
been under the Obama Biden administration. So why should people who feel that they are better off
00:38:57.960
today under the Trump administration vote for you? Well, if they think that they probably shouldn't.
00:39:03.620
I'm Donald Trump and I approve this message. I don't think that's an actual Trump campaign.
00:39:08.780
I think someone just clipped that together on the internet, but it could be. I think Trump should
00:39:12.240
run that ad. What do you say to people who say they're better off under Trump, even with a pandemic,
00:39:16.720
even with an economic collapse, they're better off under Trump than they were under you as well.
00:39:20.360
I got nothing to say to them. I guess they shouldn't vote for me. Wrong answer. I mean,
00:39:24.960
it's the correct answer. It's the true answer, but politically it's incorrect. Politically,
00:39:29.280
it's not advantageous. Compare that guy to president Trump who is now, he's feeling better than ever.
00:39:36.320
He goes to a rally in Pennsylvania. He says he's feeling so good. He's feeling so safe from the
00:39:41.740
virus. He wants to kiss everybody. And I could have stayed in the basement of
00:39:45.740
the White House or maybe the top floor of the White House. I could have done that,
00:39:48.920
but I'm the president of the United States. I can't do that. I got to get out and I have to
00:39:52.800
meet people and I have to see people. And I know it's risky to do that, but you have to do what you
00:39:57.600
have to do. I'm the president. I can't sit in the basement and say, let's wait this thing out.
00:40:01.700
I'm not going to do that. And now I'm immune. They tell me I'm immune. I could come down and
00:40:07.060
start kissing everybody. I'll kiss every guy, man and woman, man and woman. Look at that guy,
00:40:13.220
how handsome he is. I'll kiss him. Not, not with a lot of enjoyment, but that's okay.
00:40:20.360
I'll kiss them all, all the men and the women, even the men. It won't be my favorite.
00:40:24.540
You got to remember, and we always forget it about this guy because he's,
00:40:28.540
he's pretty smooth about it. This is a showman. This guy is a comedian. I mean, he is a top tier
00:40:35.960
comedian. He's a top tier Hollywood guy and has been for 30 years. And I'm glad he's going out
00:40:41.560
there and doing rallies. He should be doing a whole lot more rallies. That is where he is thriving.
00:40:46.000
Democrats are trying to cook the debates. That's the right thing. Compare that, compare that guy on
00:40:49.900
his feet. There was a video going around of Trump dancing the YMCA on, on, uh, you know,
00:40:56.640
one of these platforms, one of these rally stages. There's no need to be unhappy. He's just,
00:41:02.200
he's feeling good. He's feeling healthy. Compare that to Joe who hasn't even had the coronavirus.
00:41:07.060
He can't remember anything. You may remember I got in trouble when we were running against
00:41:12.300
the Senator who was a Mormon, the governor. Okay. And I took him on.
00:41:18.020
No, he is a Senator. He was a governor. I like that Joe Biden starts this out. You may remember,
00:41:23.580
no, you, you may remember. I hope you remember. Cause I don't remember. What were we talking about?
00:41:27.860
Where am I? It's Joe Biden. That's Joe Biden without coronavirus. Donald Trump with coronavirus,
00:41:33.500
much more vigorous than Joe Biden without coronavirus. Speaking by the way of, of, uh,
00:41:39.760
Senator Romney, I mean, Biden has, you've seen these. He's, he's had so many of these moments.
00:41:45.320
He just recently, again, said that he's a proud Democrat running for the Senate. You know,
00:41:49.320
he doesn't even remember what office he's running for. Very, very sad. And in the midst of this,
00:41:55.160
speaking of Mitt Romney, you have the answer to the question that nobody was asking. Romney says,
00:42:00.860
here are my thoughts on the political situation. Cause it's one of these stupid, awful
00:42:07.320
infographics. I've stayed quiet with the approach of the election, but I'm troubled by our politics
00:42:13.300
as it has moved away from spirited debate to a vile, vituperative, hate-filled morass that is
00:42:18.760
unbecoming of any free nation, let alone the birthplace of modern democracy. The president
00:42:23.220
calls the democratic vice presidential candidate a monster. He repeatedly labels the speaker of the
00:42:28.900
house crazy. He calls for the justice department to put the prior president in jail. He attacks the
00:42:35.420
gut, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Then he says, does he ever get to the Democrats here?
00:42:41.140
He does. Oh yes. He says, Pelosi tears up the president's state of the union speech on national
00:42:46.180
television. Keith Olbermann calls the president, a terrorist media on the left and right amplify it
00:42:52.220
all. And, and you know, it's so awful. He even, he gives the Democrats another pass. He says,
00:42:56.940
Democrats launch blistering attacks of their own, though their presidential nominee refuses to stoop
00:43:01.440
as low as others. Biden, he's a good guy. Vote for Biden is what he's really saying. These attacks
00:43:07.440
are terrible. They're dangerous. It's time to lower the heat. Oh, this guy is insufferable,
00:43:14.280
Mitt Romney. He thinks that whining makes him virtuous. He thinks that sanctimony makes him
00:43:23.960
virtuous. He thinks that self-righteousness makes him righteous. It doesn't. This is pure cowardice.
00:43:34.020
That's, that's what we've got from Romney. You know, I voted for the guy in the general in 2012,
00:43:38.380
but in my defense, I worked for two of his primary opponents. I always knew Romney was like this
00:43:45.260
and, and he's proving it right. This is pure cowardice because what Romney is saying is I'm
00:43:51.040
a Republican, but not one of those Republicans. What Romney is saying is I hate the political
00:43:55.080
reality. Fine. I think a lot of us hate the political reality, or at least we would prefer a
00:43:59.500
different political reality. Yeah, I think all of us would. And he says, and I'm just,
00:44:03.600
I'm so much better than our politics. I'm so much better than this. I don't want to have to do
00:44:08.420
this. I don't want to have to vote for Trump. He's mean, buddy. There is nothing nice and kind
00:44:17.860
and virtuous about divorcing yourself from reality and choosing to live in fantasy. Nothing at all.
00:44:26.240
This is where we are. Politics happens in reality. It doesn't happen in fantasy. It doesn't happen in
00:44:30.800
ideological manifestos. It doesn't happen in Mitt Romney's pruned and gardened, wonderful walled off
00:44:38.300
life. It happens in reality. And if you want to do anything for us in politics, you have to do it
00:44:44.360
in reality. And these thinly veiled, uh, sort of subtle endorsements of Joe Biden, who would empower
00:44:52.960
all of these awful people is, is a, is a cowardly low sort of thing to do. And even if, even if he
00:45:00.320
would deny that, even if he says, no, I'm not subtly endorsing Biden, which I think he is, but even if he
00:45:05.060
weren't to throw up your hands and say, Oh, it's all awful. We've both got problems. We don't, this is
00:45:09.500
something that has been pushed by the left. The left has degraded our language. The left has degraded our
00:45:14.600
politics. The left has degraded our Supreme court nomination process. The left has degraded our
00:45:18.840
presidential elections by refusing to accept the results in 2000, in 2016, in 2017, in 2018, when
00:45:26.160
they tried to launch a coup d'etat, not successfully, thankfully. They have done this. And what Romney
00:45:34.340
wants to say is, Oh, we're both bad. Aren't we? Yeah. I'm a good guy. Don't you like me? Pathetic.
00:45:39.260
Absolutely pathetic. It's, it is an embarrassment that that man is in the U S Senate. It would be so much
00:45:44.520
better if he were not in the U S Senate. And if he gave that seat up to a conservative who has
00:45:49.400
courage, which is a virtue. And it's the prerequisite for all of the other virtues. I've got to get to
00:45:54.380
gay cookies before we go. I have to, I want to, I want to end where we began on Democrats, weird sex
00:46:01.180
obsession. Oreos beginning October 9th are shipping out rainbow colored cookies, colored cream cookies
00:46:11.080
that are given away to the first 10,000 people to share on social media, their idea of allyship.
00:46:16.460
Allyship is some newfangled word that refers to endorsing the sexual revolution, endorsing the
00:46:22.060
left's view on sex. Specifically, they say it's with regard. It used to be with regard to
00:46:26.840
homosexuality. Now it's obviously expanded much more than that to the LGBT T, which is kind of the T
00:46:32.880
undermines the G, right? Cause the transgender undermines the arguments for same, same sex attraction,
00:46:39.520
the homosexual orientation, because the T undermines your gender. So, you know, just to put it in simple
00:46:45.740
terms, if you're a gay guy and you say, oh, I can't change this. I was born this way. And then you got
00:46:51.420
the transgender movement comes along and says, of course you can change your gender. So then the gay
00:46:54.860
guy makes himself cosmetically look like a woman. I guess he's no longer a gay guy. So I guess he did
00:46:59.920
change his sexual orientation or he didn't change his gender or gender is a silly concept pushed by the
00:47:06.800
left. And really there's biological sex, which obviously you can't change. Either way, this is
00:47:12.240
an ideology. This is not a sexual preference or a sexual orientation or whatever words you want to
00:47:17.560
use. This is left-wing ideology. And it's even come into our cookies. Cookies! How did we get here?
00:47:27.700
The Democrat obsession with sex, the left's obsession with sex, it's not about guys who are
00:47:34.080
sexually attracted to other guys or gals who are sexually attracted to other gals or people who
00:47:39.240
are confused about their sex or have some kind of psychological issue. Not about that at all.
00:47:43.640
Not about that at all. It is about control. It derives from a simple phrase that the feminist
00:47:49.740
left gave us in the late 1960s, early 1970s. The personal is the political. The personal is the
00:47:57.640
political. That basically politics has to come down to everything in our society. Has to enter into the
00:48:04.800
bedroom. Has to enter into the local community. Has to enter into our sneakers. Has to enter into our
00:48:10.420
food. Has to enter into our chicken sandwiches. Has to enter into our cookies. Everything has to be
00:48:15.720
political. But there is a flip side to this, which is as everything becomes political, the only thing that
00:48:21.400
gets depoliticized is politics. No longer are we permitted to have disagreements over
00:48:27.560
the way our constitution should be enforced in our country. And how the systems that the
00:48:34.920
constitution sets up, I'll be more precise, will make the laws for us. We're not allowed to have
00:48:40.860
those discussions anymore. We're not allowed to have those debates. Now we have to just pretend that
00:48:45.180
the constitution means whatever Pete Buttigieg says it means, or whatever Anthony Kennedy says it
00:48:49.260
means, or whatever Ruth Ginsburg says it means. But, but interestingly, not what Amy Barrett says it
00:48:54.540
means. Politicizing everything is a distraction and an unmooring from any kind of traditional sense of
00:49:03.620
our society so that we will be distracted, look away. And in the meantime, our actual political
00:49:10.540
questions over eternal questions, justice, equality, liberty, all these things that we debate and we try to
00:49:17.140
figure out how they should be enacted in our society, those are taken away from us. And those are now being
00:49:23.380
made by the very ideologues who are distracting us with bread and circuses. And we saw a circus yesterday
00:49:31.360
on Capitol Hill, bread and circuses and gay cookies. All, all to turn us away from the real political decisions
00:49:40.800
that are being made far, far away from the free choice of we the people. That's our show. I'm Michael Knowles.

00:50:43.480
You know, The Matt Walsh Show, it's not just another show about politics. I think there are
00:50:48.360
enough of those already out there. We talk about culture because culture drives politics and it
00:50:53.380
drives everything else. So my main focuses are life, family, faith. Those are fundamental.
00:51:00.540
And that's what this show is about. I hope you'll give it a listen.
